Sorry, we can't return work submitted, so please send copies only. r Mel Kahn's political science course, Politics, Who Gets What, is never dull. Immediately after the Oct. 8 hijack­ ing of the Italian luxury liner, Achille Lauro, for instance, the class argued about the United States' role in the con­ flict between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel. Student opinions varied. Some said the U.S. only supported Israel because of the ' · power and influence of American jews. Others said the U.S. must champion the Israelis because they are God's chosen people. As usual, Kahn didn't state his personal opinion. But he listened intently and helped stimulate discussion.

A COUPLE OF HEALTH NUTS by Tim Travis

Workers at the Heskett Center call them ~that friendly couple who always come in together." Carol Konek, Associate Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences calls them her "ideal couple," But Herschel and Lorene Taylor are perfectly happy with just being husband and wife. Perhaps you've seen them working out on weekends at the Heskett Center in their matching sweatsuits. Or maybe you've run into Lorene working in Ahlberg Hall, in the health career opportunity pro­ gram, with her everpresent smile. Either way, the Taylors tend to get notice. It's not often a pair of 65-year-old students grace the halls of Wichita State University. Actually, Lorene is six months older than Herschel, yet the minor age difference doesn't seem to matter to this lively pair. Both are self-described health addicts who enjoy the good feelings they get from exercising. "We've been jogging for years," said Lorene. "We jogged at Riverside Park for 10 years or more." With the opening of the Heskett Center in 1983, the Taylors found a new home "the minute it opened." "The real advantage of the Heskett Center is we can work out any day of the year," Lorene said, adding that they run one mile four times a week. We don't ev~r miss a workout. I think the Heskett Center would be a life saver for people if they'd just use it."
