CAMPUS UPDATE, Feb. 26, 1979, page 2 EDITORIALS GAS PRICES UP, NEED CAR POOLS With soaring fue]. prices, not to mention the high cost of insurance and cars, one almost -has to member of an oil-rich family or quit eating just to support his trans- portation needs. 1f, by chance, one discovers that it is comforting to eat occasionally and he finds it too inconvenient to walk to the educational institution of his choice, he may find it necessary to resort to a car pool. The car pool is not exactly something new. If one talks with the generation of his parents and grandparents, he will discover that they took turns parking their cars in fields and lots and rode with their buddies to work. When the energy conservation became a national cam- paign, little signs appeared labeling the old car pool spots, making it sound as though the idea was something completely new. It’s quite obvious that we have to continue tightening our belts. Since ry a gallon of gasoline is nearly 70 cents and the availability of it is pool only to a more massive ‘‘cam- paign”’ extent. In everyday conversation, one Ocassionally meets someone who lives just down the road or street from him, and who is often go- ing his way at the sametime he is. Obviously, if the two people sit down, they would be able to schedule a car pool. How many students have a class at East Campus? How many cars pull into the East Campus parking lot transporting an only driver? We suggest that the college, including the students take definite action to establish a car pool program. It isclear to us that a car pool pro- gram is needed. Can the student senate or the activities office take on the all-important task?

Hayslett, an ACC student at Wurtsmigh AFB, was in Tehran from July, 1978 to January, 1979, sharing her husband‘s USAF assignment at an Iranian military The following—the first of three—is Hayslett’s account of what she experienced during her months in thatstrife-torncountry. Anti-American sentiment in coun- tries abroad is not a new phenome- non. But it isa new experience for the thousands of Americans living in a country suddenly ripped apart at the seams and finding themselves direct targets of such feelings. And their reactions vary. Anger, belligerence, aggression, barreling into traffic, elbowing thru crowds, talking loudly or crudely in public, and other offensive behavior become some Americans’ ways of striking back. For others, guilt sets in. They wonder what they did to cause the people to hate them and either re- treat into introversion or bend over backears to be nice. It’s like a one- person campaign mounted against vast armies of American-haters—inef- fective in the total was, but perhaps the eure between life and th individual battle. RHA Fades Away By Bev Orban As of Wednesday, February 14, 1979, RHA has ceased operation as an organization. This measure was taken because of extreme lack of participation in the meetings and activities sponsored by the group. The RHA Board was in charge of finding and organizing activities for the dorm residents. Some past ac- tivities include a turkey shoot in Oc- tober, a sleigh ride in January and a poo! tournament in February It has now become the responsibi- lity of each floor in the residence hall to organize and sponsor any ac- tivity they would like to see happen. There is money available for these activities. The RHA fund will be divided up among the five floors. The Resident Advisor on each floor will be in-charge of their own finan- S.. Renee Belanger, an R.A. on the dorm staff, states, “Dorm life is just what you make it and now it's up to the residents to do just that. ae have no one to complain to jow but each other.” .» WAFB REPORT FEELINGS IN IRAN For years, military people in Iran have worn civilian clothes over their uniforms and ridden unmarked buses manned with submachine-gun- toting guards. They peeked out the windows before going out, checked for strange people and cars on the street and varied routes and time schedules in their daily comings and goings. _ But in more recent months, para- noia and actions appearing paranoid often dictated by the American Em- bassy, cropped up like brush fires. Americans began to wake up in the morning to find their cars spray- painted with anti-American and anti government slogans or threatening notes shoved under their front door. It became important to find a garage for the car or to at least park down the street or around the corner away from the front door. oO fight threatening phone calls, Apisie: answered in the local lan- guage and if they heard an Iranian on the other end, hung up. The door, usually equiped with an inter- com, was also answered in the Iran- ian language. Americans began to look with sus- picion at neighbors and aquaintan- ces whose friendship they previously had taken for granted. But nothing seemed to help. Homes and cars tinued to be bed, despite were stepped up, so were efforst to maintain a low or invisible profile. U.S. military personnel tried to alter apperances to blend in to the local populace by letting their hair grow a little longer, sprouting moustaches and: avoiding obviously American- style clothing and eyeglasses. Some people even brushed up on a long- ago learned language to speak instead -of English in case they were stopped on the street or caught in a crowd. Just before the final evacuation of Iran, insurgents stormed through neighborhoods searching for Ameri- cans» A few were found, pulled into the street, beaten and hauled off to revolutionary headquarters under arrest. Others, however, were saved by their Iranian neighbors with whom they had taken the pains to make friends. Yes, there are many ways to create an anti-American environ- ment and there are many ways to. react in an anti-American society. So, what would you do if you were walking down the street committing no greater offense other than being an American, and someone spit in your face? CAMPUS UPDATE Community College.
