In the fall Thanksgiving brings the stores to their knees begging the consumer to relieve them of the silly antique knick-knacks that advertise the coming holidays. Not only do we have to endlessly gaze at turkey worship, but we have to endure the Christmas wrapp ing paper and mugs until at least the February White sales are over. But fall seems to be finally kicking in at Rollins; I got really excited because it was cold one morning, and in a spasm of unknown energy, broke out my winter war drobe Elated as hell, I walked over to the library at 9:30 in the morning, because "the library opens at 8:00 for our convenience" (right). Anyhow, by the time I cruis ed out of there, around noon time, psyched for my Beans experience I could only be comfortable in the shade of buildings where the wind whips around the corner or in Rollins' artic classrooms. We've hit that time of year again where the Florida reputation of forever hav ing sun, fights with the inevitability of winter. We will be endlessly mixing our summer and winter wardrobes to the whim of perpetual Indian Summers. Dressing nicely/whatever your taste may be - gets pretty difficult. Although the weather may be schitzophrenic the students aren't. The pool-goers still frequent the meat- market religiously and will until it snows . Skateboarders still roll their way to class in bare feet and shorts. And basically Rollins life continues despite the holiday weather. Kate U"ere « Comments Dear editors: I think the first few issues of the Sandspur under its . The rape of our mother tongue is a serious offense and new management have spoken well for its contributors it is our sincere wish that having been brought to your and editors. However, the editorials/opinions section attention, the felonious deed will not be repeated. We leave has been noticeably anemic or completely absent in vir it to the infallible judgement of our esteemed editorial tually all of your recent issues. Why is this? Are all board to correct this matter Rollins students just totally disillusioned with the con cept of intra-community thought/idea exchange Sincerely, through popular media? Are they, as some contend, too Two Conce d Readers bleary-eyed and fuzz-brained to read, much less com ment on, a newspaper article? Or, is Rollins actually an experiment in ideal republican living in which everyone is in perfect agreement, and therefore no corrupting/ disrupting factionalism exists? Isn't a college newspaper supposed to be a format for the presentation of ideas Dear Concerned Readers, and the provocation of thought within a college com munity? Do you ever feel as if you're talking to yourself? You've figured it out! Haw clever of you to have deduced the editors that the intentional mispelling of Korner and Krystal leads directly to Communism. We were hoping that nobody would notice as we slowly wove the insidious web of totalitarian thinking into the Sandspur by mispelting words and switch ing columns of print In fact, if you hold page 3 up to a mir Dear Editors, ror, you can see the Communist Manifiesto. As Rollins Students abroad we had eagerly awaited our Sincerely first issue of the Sandspur which was delivered to our TheSREBC greedy hands by the remarkably inefficient international (Sandspur Revolutionary postal system. Much to our horror we were greeted by Editorial Board Collective) the sports column The Kaye Korner with a headline that read, "A Gaze into the Krystal Ball". Intentional mispell- (P.S. Beth and Gail, don't you have better things to do in class ings of our native language for the writer's own glorifica than write Utters to the Sandspur?) tion left us aghast in our frigid Irish classroom. I have this silly smile That a publication as reputable as the Sandspur would stoop to such common tomfoolery pierced us to the heart on my face because The substitution of "k's" for "c's" to call attention to the writer's surname is a poor excuse for creativity indeed. oay life is unexamined. Naturally, while we have been separated from our belov ed country and hallowed institution of academia, our minds have become much more sensitive to the manage ment, or should we say mismanagement of the English language What land of example does the Sandspur think it is setting for those tender young minds just approaching the illustrious gates of higher learning? It is this flouting of our society's traditions and guidelines that allows the insidious seeds of Communism to germinarp P<Ufe,Jl QctoJte*, 29, 1986 Sullivan House Forum Examines Summit by Tiffany Hogan The recent summit between President Reagan and It became apparent during the discussion between the General Secretary Gorbachev in Iceland has been very two professors that the main arguing point regarding controversial and very confusing.

Professor Lairson explained that the very the confusion regarding the summit and Star Wars. Pro popular image of a protective umbrella covering the fessor Davidson's specialty is the Soviet Union.

A summit. Dr. Davidson said that the primary reason for reasonable idea on the President's part, the professor the summit was to iron out the final details for this up said, but the broad consensus today is that it can never coming year's major summit. Therefore, expectations work. There may be the possibility in twenty to fifty years were not high for this summit. Yet, both men had reasons to be able to destroy some missiles before they strike, to produce more at this summit. Reagan could have used but very few. It also may be able to give America's land- some good news to help out the Republican cause in based missiles some protection. This obviously would the upcoming elections and it would have also given give America first-strike capabilities; that is what the his record some creditability in the areas of arms con Soviet Union fears, the professors agreed.
