: : ) CAMPUS UPDATE, Nov. 29, 1978, Page 2 EDITORIALS Trash infringes on rights This past semester, a time-consu- ming effort was made by a group of generous people to organize and design, for the community, the Na- ture Trails, on ACC’s campus. These trails meander through a wooded area, providing a relaxing environment for those who need a place that will not create pressuring demands on a boggled mind. Or, even if one doesn’t feel mind-bog- gled, they can still take advantage of the trails for just plain old enjoy- ment. The pursuit of personal enjoyment varies from one member of society to another. As long as one’s enjoy- ment does not infringe upon the en- joyment of others, or,,as long as a compromise can be reached, enjoy- ment for all is within grasping dis- tance. Apparently, a few members of society attain a sense of enjoy- ment by consuming potato chips and beer while they‘re taking advan- tage of the environment offered by the Nature Trails. There is nothing wrong with these actions, however, the disposal of the containers of food products is a topic for discus- Sicoesal infringes on “enjoyment” for 3 tly, ac- a compromise. When do we “grow- up’? Do we always need a “mommy” following us around, picking up behind us? If that’s the case, what “responsible” adult should take the role of “mommy’"? Take The Time Because of Christmas vacation and finals, there is only one more Campus Update issue for this sem-. ester; we are shooting for an eight- page December special. As a sea- sonal feature, we are offering a “Seasons Greetings’ section for all those who would like to take the time to “‘greet’’ their friends at the college. So says the VA...

Already, 65% of Vietnam-era Veterans have taken advantage of the GI Bill. That compares to a final rate of some 51% for World War || Veterans and 43% for Veterans of the Korean War. The Nation has spent nearly $25 billion on the GI Bill for Vietnam- era Veterans compared with $14 billion for those who served in World War Il and $4.5 billion for le sof the Ki Consider The Human Service Professions At Nazareth College Nazareth, Michigan 49074 (616) 349-7783 Roommates DORM NEWS Get Contracts ror SALE MADISON, Wis. (On Campus Report)—If a UCLA student doesn't do his fair share of dirty dishes, his roommate might take him to court. Legally binding roommate con- tracts are now available for off- campus roommates at the residen- tial life office. Terms often listed include non- smoking clauses, cleanliness stan- dards, policies on partying and/or drug use, division of such house- hold tasks as cooking, grocery shopping and taking the garbage out, and the acceptability of various types of pets. The assistant dean says even the process of drawing up the contract is beneficial to would-be room- mates. It encourages the discussion of issues before conflicts have time to grow, she says.
