Bush: A man of
Honor and
Service
After failing to be
re-elected to the presidency
on Tuesday, November 3,
President Bush gave an
eloquent address to the
nation saying "Having know
the sweet taste of popular
favor, I can more readily
accept the sour taste of
defeat, because it is
seasoned for me by my deep
devotion to the political
system under which this
nation has thrived for two
centuries." One of the
essential factors that makes
America’s democratic
government great is
demonstrated in President
Bush’s radio address and his
actions. There are few
places in the world today
where the abdication of
power and responsibility of
a country’s highest office is

xiggered by the mishap in the Kostos Building.
TOP TEN REASONS FOR
THE FIRE IN THE
KOSTOS BUILDING
1) No, I said Bud Light.
2) No, not that button!!!!
3) I wanted to meet Bill Shatter by appearing on
Resue 911.
4) Gee, what does THIS chemical do?
5) Dr. Singh, what happens when you mix this
chemical with that one?
6) Wanted to test the reaction time of the local fire
department.
7) I needed time to study for my Bio Exam.
8) I didn’t feel like having anymore classes that day.
9) You mean you’re not suppose to smoke in the
Chem Labs?
10) I wanted to see how fast it would take the college
to bum down.
done so smoothly and tactfully.
Throughout our history, this
policy has always been upheld,
and each one of our Presidents
has been a man of honor for
giving the proper respect to the
office.
In his radio address, Bush
also said that there would be no
more politics, but that he and
Barbara would rededicate
themselves to helping others.
Certainly, one thing that Bush
did well in his four years as
president was to serve others.
His foreign relations and foreign
policy were top notch, not to
mention that they brought about
the end of the cold war. The
efficient ways in which Desert
Shield and Desert Storm were
handled are commendable. In
addition, the recent aid to Los
Angles after the riots and the
integral role of the government
in the huge relief effort still
being made for the hurricane
victims in Florida and other
affected states, was certainly
noteworthy, despite criticisms of
Bush’s domestic policy.

Dear Gloria,
My boyfriend wants to have
sex with me, which would
normally would be no problem,
if I didn’t care for him. We
never really talked about our
past sex lives, but I know he
has only been with one girl. She
said they used a condom each
time.
My ex-boyfriend and I never
used condoms for one reason or
another. I also know with his
prior girlfriend, he didn’t use a
condom. His ex-girlfriend might
have AIDS, but she’s not sure.
If she does, that means I might
also.
How do I tell the guy I am
now seeing that I want to have
sex with him but am afraid of
giving him something I might
have and not know it?
Cautious Lover
Dear Cautious Lover,
First off, for your own piece
of mind you should get tested.
Now I don’t want to sound like
a parent, but if you’re going to
have intercourse with anyone
you should use a condom so
you don’t have to worry about
things like this.
You need to be honest with
him if asks. To care about
someone before intercourse is a
good idea, but using a condom
should be a number one
concern. If you use a condom,
even if you do end up getting
AIDS, as least he will bee
protected. Be smart and use the
condom, it’s not going to kill
you but it may kill both of you
if you don’t.
Dear Gloria,
My parents are in the
process of getting a divorce,
which is no problem with me
except I am 18 years old and
my brother is 16. I know my
brother will end up with one of
our parents, but what about me
since I’m still in school?
Dear Feeling Split,
The way the works in
Pennsylvania is if you are under
21 and still in school one of
your parents will get custody of
you. This arrangement will stay
in effect until your twenty- first
birthday, so relax you’ll have
somewhere to call home.

Dear George,
I am the best man at my best
friend’s wedding. I know for a
fact that his fiancee has cheated
on him more than on one
occasion this past week. The
reason I know this is because
she cheated on him with me.
Should I let my best friend
marry her even though she
doesn’t fully love him or should
I tell him about her and me?
Confused at the alter..
Dear Confused at the alter,
It’s possible that your best
friend’s fiancee is trying to "get
it all out of her system" now so
she won’t cheat on him when
they are married. This is,
unfortunately, very common in
today’s permissive society.
Personally I vehemently
disagree with this practice, but
nonetheless for some it actually
has worked. For others though,
it has lead to bad marriages,
disfunctional families, bitter
divorce and emotionally
disturbed children.
might also try to find Out if he
has been cheating on her, if so
then yes definitely stop this
marriage. Obviously neither of
them would be ready to make
this ultimate commitment and
you might be doing both of
them a favor. Trust your heart,
do a little prodding into your
friend’s life and use your best
judgement to see to it that what
ever the outcome, any disasters
are illiminated. Call it
preventive maintenance.
Always listening George
Dear Gloria,
I’ve been going out with this
guy for over a year. Some
people around school say he’s
gay. I don’t want to believe
what they say, but since we
never had sex, how can I be
sure?
Desperately Confused
Dear Desperately Confused,
The only way you will truly
know is if you ask him. Rumors
shouldn’t control your life or
your relationship. Besides if he
thought that about you,
wouldn’t you want him to ask
you about it instead of believing
others?
Gloria
