CAMPUS UPDATE, March 21, editorials 1979, page 2 How to shock teachers, remain in school Do you feel as though the sameold things are always happening? - There's no doubt about it, parking tickets, a messy lounge, late arrivals to class, incomplete homework, lack of par- ticipation in class, responsibility a- voidances, etc., have trenched a rut for college students. Let’s face it, we're no different from other col- lege students; we blend right in. To be recognized, we must participate in unique activities. Riots and mild revolts have occured repeatedly and they no longer have the impact on us that they used to. We are just go- ing to have to do something that Is believed to be impossible. One sug- gestion is to revolt in a new way-- surprise the heck out of people--do what is not expected of us--do every- thing right. How do you suppose the faculty, administration and other authoritar- jans would react to student perfec- tion? More than likely they wouldn't be capable of handling such prepos- terous absurdity. (Are we objec- tive-minded enough to avoid possible success-shock ourselves?)

Everyone knows (even English in- structors) that human is spelled |-a-t-e. Let's take roll of the amount of in- structors who manage to talk: with any degree of sense when everyone in class arrives on time. Students’ experiences at the present indicate that an instructor stumbles over words when he is denied the op- portunity to stare at a later-than- everyone-else student. We don’t want to be forgotten eas- ily! We can’t delay our strategic ac- tions any longer if we're going to do this before the end of the semester. Let's begin planning our course of. action now.

LaFond was selected for the award by the ACC/ WAFB Student Advisory. Committee. The award will be presented at the Wurtsmith graduation on May 6 The award is designed to recog- nize outstanding academic achieve- ment, and also to recognize out- standing contributions to the Wurt- smith Center. The Student Advisory Committee indicated that “‘it was easy to choose Peggy because everything she did with the college was outstanding.” Greg Longacre, the WAFB Pro- gram Director, stated that ‘Peg is one of the few people I’ve met who genuinely ‘cares’. She did so much for the college and for people. |’m very glad that she’s getting some recognition.” LaF ond graduated from the college with a 4.0 average. She served as _ president 977- B vis a o ee.

In over half said such distributions should be made public. DIET, continued-from page 1 bohydrates, often thought of as the villians that cause obesity, are now in favor, providing the carbohydrate food is high in nutrients per caloric unit. The senate committee, there- fore, suggests a reduction in refined and processed sugars which contain no nutrients. They also suggest that people de- crease foods high in cholesterol and salt. The cholesterol level is not a simple issue since individuals vary in the way their bodies handle it. How- ever, there is good evidence that large amounts of sodium (above 2 gms. per day) causes high blood pressure. Limiting butterfat, eggs, animal fat and organ meats in the diet will re- duce cholestero! intake. Cutting down on salt, shellfish, cured and smoked meats, bacon and sauerkraut will lower sodium intake. Limiting certain foods is what is: upsetting the food industry espec- ially since the scientific evidence is not clear-cut. Kolasa pointed out that the guidelines were only sug- gestions and that there is no one perfect diet. The guidelines, if carried out, may: give protection from the major kil- ler diseases, such as, heart disease, Cancer, stroke and diabetes, but, it provides no guarantee, only a strong bility that the diet will reduce the risk of disease. mistakes By Mary Kelley The United States‘ news media is promoting error free news reporting. After a three year research period, the U.S. Insurance Corporation, a non-partisian insurance company, concluded that reporting errors are made by reporters who are not pro- fessional in the field they are report- ~ ing. They. have proposed to Senator Griffin that he introduce a bill to the Senate mandating that all news makers write their own news article. Therefore, all who commit sucide, all who murder, all who get killed in car accidents, all who are in politics, all who are involved in any event that generally would be in the news media will have to write their own article. Griffin commented yesterday on the dangers of error-free news re- por enough adjusted for perfection. The move would be detrimental to a so- ciety that evolves around such er- rors. | [ee CAMPUS UPDATE : _ Community College.
