CAMPUS UPDATE, February 18, 1981, Page 2 EDITORIAL By: Dave Talbot Oh the joys of driving a car. Traveling the highways and. by ways touring and observing nature and her iahabiiante The interior is warm and protecting as you look outside and see snowflakes swirl- ing around the hood of the car. A little shiver travels up your spine as you remember the outside temp- erature is -10 degrees. You are also comfortable in your auto. But wait —, what's that noise? Why is the engine clinking? Why are my lights going dim? Oil and temperature gauges aren’t sup- posed to be lit, are they? Three days later your auto sits in the shop being repaired. But can you really be sure that every- thing which was wrong with it is being {ied proper! picking your car up, you decide te time to give it the old road test and see if everything is in proper working order. You throttle the accelerater, stomp on the brakes and twist the steering wheel. You test the tightness of the lug nuts by flaming down the quarter mile. Then when you think everything is ship-shape, you go for a nice drive and your car quits again. So who do you blame? The incompetent mechanic? Or does the blame lie within yourself for treating your car to the road test? Maybe you. didn’t give it the road test and it just failed on you a quar- ter of a mile from the workshop. If you gave your car the road test, then you should accept re- sponsibility, for the result. ever, if the car fails a quarter of a mile from the shop, its time to have a discussion with the mechanic. Inquire as to what was done with the car, every little detail, and find out who it was that worked on your auto. The next time it needs fixing, make‘sure you have a writ- ten statement about what needs fixing and one pertaining to what was fixed. Double check the list before taking your car out of the lot. If you do not know anything about cars, take a friend or another mechanic with you and check out the car. Mechanics aren’t mechanical beings, they do make mistakes. You do have your rights to check the auto out before removing it from the lot. It’s your life that’s behind the wheel. MID-WINTER BREATHER Spring Break is now only a few days away. Is that a unani- mous sigh of relief we hear, or the Mes wind in training? been a long, cold winter, but are of the area predict that the worst is still to come.

A community college, ich as ours, gives the student a ae to get his feet wet before going on to a university. Another reason for selecting a community college is that the student may have family in a nearby university. So they may choose a community college nearby with the intentions of transferring to the same univer- sity.” Fr i A Res BE iS: $ Es ES T K near ea Tey. 3, Malet its Prfolelofc elalety uv ple [wie Ete Gn ss cen a Re BS N ste lr] u “ale Fale|iiniels Pole tela |e Po ln Peels fu "5 [a fe Mo lw oles rc es Valele la Milslelololofe ty folole lu Pealelolal"s] R a ee eS 1 Folaicia lw iim aM cl cl], [ole ls “pte lm loli] s Pe lula N H teal 2 2 ra letaAl te PN ale Pal u | K Cn : i o|RIAlGloIN slHliljv B SIE sts Me Lon Me lutte Pet ee.
