"BOW I MADE 818,000 FOR COLLEGE BY WORKING WEEKENDS." As soon as I finished Advanced Training, the Guard gave me a cash bonus of $2,000. Then, under the New GI Bill, I'm getting another $5,000 for tuition and books. Not to mention my monthly Army Guard paychecks. They'll add up to more than $11,000 over the six years I'm in the Guard. And if I take out a college loan, the Guard will help me pay it back-up to $1,500 a year, plus interest. It all adds up to $18,000-or more -for college for just a little of my time.

During the summer Bridgewater State became a new place. The grounds were beautified, the Class of 1987 was replaced by the Class of 1991, and a host of new policies were instituted. Most of these policies were instituted for the betterment of the college, and for the benefit of the students; most of these policies, anyway. Student leaders returned to find that much of their freedom and responsibility had been usurped. In order to receive their funds from Student Government Association - funds which are raised through student fees - all student clubs and orgainzati.ons must have an advisor. The President has created a new position -Director of Student Clubs and Activities - to oversee clubs and their advisors. This may endanger certain projects that require immediate action. The nightmare of having to chase down the SGA treasurer for a signature is going to be multiplied . Now clubs will first have to track down the advisor, and then the treasurer. The rationalizations for this new form of constraint are many. The first is that it is to relieve students of some of the stress and responsibility that is associated with being a student leader. The desire to take on additional responsibility and become more involved in the campus is the reason most students become student leaders. The second is to show student leaders that the school supports them, and their efforts to run programs and activities for the college community. The present administration has always made a strong attempt to recognize the student leaders. Placing more constraints on them was not exactly the w,,, ho m~dje Conn·te cry?. best way to shower ~ •t•r•1.1M111nail~P•IJ*IBJMi1.Df8'¥iliild·t~i1i1'td~Mlii•Ph6luilrllli"~Ifii5'6·ifad!llfiilWn*l·illfllt~lilll:QWI~··m 1MP1¥111Fllirli•*i~iilll'Mli!j!dli5•iiiiilllllilWd!iiiilt•i111'tf!illl1ffi1111iRlilill2~t•t~~e-~-""':':=;;;;;;" school has fost confidence m me student eaders to run therr By Scot R'~~~~;:,~~m'JqJ the Second Amendmerit?"

That's what Rupert Greenall, Keyboardist of The Fixx says about playing in small clubs. They played at The Livingroom in Providence on Wednesday to a packed house. regardless of the fact that U2 was playing less than forty-five minutes away in Foxboro. "We like to try ouL new material in clubs, as we did tonight." Greenan continued, "We really haven't done this since we started, playing mostly new material." In the Flesh. a pop band from Springfield Massachusetts warmed up the crowd with their own brand of mod-pop, combining Echo and the Bunnymen, New Order, and Fixx-like chops and guitar licks.
