RON, VIC, AND RANDY April 1, 1977 The Davidson id n Protect drinking rights All right, Davidson, we're about to get ourselves in trouble. A DAVIDSON MAN NEEDS We're about to lose the 900 Room beer, perhaps even all our beer-drinking privileges. The Union personnel and Grover Meetze are tired of the NO INTRODUCTION vandalism that has accompanied the rising public drunken- ness. They are mad and ready to take dramatic action to prove their point. Probably most students are not aware a problem exists. Except for the bathrooms in the Union, most incidences are kept secret. And most students, therefore, are unaware the Union has been talking about ways to stop the abuses of the drinking rules for over a month. They have. Now it's time for that majority to take matters into their own hands. Become aware of the Union's rules. Cooperate with them. And apply peer pressure to friends who abuse those rules. Also, keep an open mind about the possibility of a building supervisor. Ideally the Union is talking about a graduating senior. All they need is someone with eyes and legs: they do not need a big, burly animal. The attitude in the Union is such that if you are drunk you are liable for prosecution under the Code of Responsibility and will be charged, sent to the Dean of Students' Office and prosecuted. And if enough abuse continues, the Union is not past closing down completely. What concerns us as much as the abuses is the attitude toward correcting those abuses. We are college students, all of us are over 18. If we want to get drunk and pass out that is our business. If we want to come into the 900 Room nude that is our business also. The moralistic tone sounds more like high school dis- ciplinary procedure. If the students are treated like children they will act as such. Closing the Union only insults our intelligence. The 900 Room is a haven for too many of us. Its removal Opinion would change the atmosphere of the college to one of relaxed maturity to a police state. And it would put too many drunk drivers on the roads. Bring back Intermezzo! Students, this is your Union.

Impaled By the unsheathed Branches Of a sycamore, A matted Tangled nest Is waking From a three-month rest- Shaking Woody locks In lightly Scented breeze The abode Waits to be Needed by A using brood. Patsy Daniels

Josertig Boy on Stairs

At the Lycee, Two starched sisters, penguins actually, Emit their pristine sagacity in peristaltic waves.

We sit, meek fools That we are, flicking Drosophila from the microscope stage, being sucked Wholeheartedly into this pulsating wisdom. With the blink of a mutant melanogaster eye One must tear down walls, Come the etherized ends of others. They say, before one may build bridges, the process engulfing aeons and generations. Of course, the mosaic vision of the fruit fly Nothing penetrates our inexuviable skin. (so they say) is never interrupted by an Indeterminate wink; Homo sapiens, however is quite vulnerable to this momentary loss of vision.

The walls come tumbling down. Nancv M.

"a quck, strong player with outstanding leaping ability and a fine shooting touch; an aggressive rebounder who is quick off the floor." DiBenedetto has excellent credentials. As a junior at Bergenfield High he averaged 28.5 points (hitting 60 percent from the floor), 17 rebounds, 1 blocked shots, and three assists per game. He opted to pass up high school ball his senior year in order to play for the Riverside Church team which competes in the New York City-Wide League, a very competitive circuit with exceptional talent. Pritchett, who believes that DiBenedetto was possibly the most sought after player in New Jersey, comments, "He gives us a degree of re- bounding and physical play that we so badly need. "He has a great shooting touch and is an unbelievable jumper. His versatility as a ball handler is impressive." DiBenedetto narrowed his field of college choices to Maryland, Providence, Holy Cross, and several Ivy League schools before choosing Davidson.
