Next week could change the habits of many people. Thursday, Nov. 20 is National Smoke-Out day, sponsored by the American Cancer Society. COVAJBOYS Smokers are urged to quit, even for just one day— BRIEF HfSTOfW OF AMERICAN faTtt*£J*! a period of 24 hours. Here is the chance to see if you can quit. It could prove to yourself and your friends that you are not hooked on the "dreaded cancer stick." One purpose of the American Cancer Society Smoke-Out day is to get people to stop smoking altogether. But even if a small portion of the smoking population quits for a day, then part of their mission is accomplished. We urge all smokers to give it up permanently. We could list statistics concerning the health risks involved in smoking until we were blue in the face, but unfortunately, you probably either would not listen or you have heard them all before. Only you can quit and make it stick. And it is your health that matters most to you. But if you can quit for just one day, then that will be a great achievement. It will take a tremendous amount of willpower to do this if you are truly hooked on cigarettes. But if you are determined to make a change in your lifestyle, then now is the time to do it. So smokers—on your mark, get ready, and crush.

Independent presidential candidate John B. Anderson got a $4 million bonus from the Federal Election Commission Thursday for his third place finish in last week's election. Anderson, who polled 6.5 percent of the popular vote Nov. 4, was certified by the commission to be eligible for $4,164,906 in government funds to defray campaign expenses. This is a positive step in the right direction con- cerning independent nominees, but it must have been a real staggering blow for the candidates and members of the Republican and Democratic parties. retrospect It is a positive step because it now shows that the United States no longer has to be dictated to by the by Dennis Myers wishes from just two major political parties.
