Kevin Larson ^^L The oldest continuously published newspaper in Bulloch County Tuesday, July 14,1998 News Editor Opinions Our Opinion Control power bills before they control you It's almost unfortunate fall semester doesn't start in July. If that were the case, incoming freshman would see the downside to Statesboro living. Heat that has made even the fittest of the fit think twice before taking the afternoon jog has pretty much ruled out the possibility of this being a record-breaking summer in the category of health and physical fitness. And to think where we would be without our air condi- tioned Recreation Activity Center. Suffice it to say, as the temperature elevates, down goes the count of couch departures. That we can live with. A couple of physical education courses come fall semester can provide the mulligan for that. But the arrival of the power bill this summer is bringing a whole new meaning to word that is so continu- ously reverberated: hot. Excessive power bills have left the handful of students who decided to sweat out the summer version of Statesboro in a daze and some still can't figure out why. Take it from your friendly campus newspaper that any bit of energy conservation this summer will be well worth it when it comes to hanging on to spare change. This means the days of running a full cycle on your washing machine for merely your favorite tank top and "I SU9&, cm Ml TEOWOLOGICM NDVMK£ N0 m COlUG foSflL a pair of shorts are over if you want lower power bills.
