Page Two Don't Drink And Drive Snow, snow, snow. it looks so beautiful the way it lays on the ground and decorates the trees. Winter is upon us. With Christmas on its way and the newness of the snow, spirits become merry in more ways than one. What’s wrong with helping build the joyous atmosphere higher? “There’s' a bunch of kids going to Kelly’s Bar —do you want to go?” How often have you heard that question? Along with all the beauty of snow, danger lurks around the corner. Ask a commuter what the driving is like in this weather and he’ll undoubtedly tell you that it’s terrible. Imagine driving to New York and running into a snowstorm on the way back. Could you navigate the roads under the influence of alcohol? Some people feel that they drive better when they’ve been drinking. But what do the statistics say? Each year 25,000 people are killed on the road by drunk drivers. In a recent poll of local political candidates, all polled, with the exception of one who was undecided, favored lowering the drinking age to 18. One candidate felt that the legislation governing the recent changes in the minor’s age was insulting the youth of 18 by passing the other issues involved and not passing the issue concerning lowering the drinking age to 18. Do you feel insulted? One Behrend student when asked if he was insulted by this issue not being passed replies, “Hell no, I’m gonna drink anyway.” Being as close to the New York border as Erie is, it isn’t hard to drink as much as you want. But wouldn’t it be nicer if you could drink in your home or dorm room legally rather than driving to New York? It would be safer. If you must drink, and must drive to New York'to drink try not to overdue it, especially when other factors such as bad weather conditions endanger everyone in the car. If you feel that the drinking age should be lowered, write your legislators. The responsibility involved with drinking must -be taken into consideration if the drinking age is to be lowered. Oh—the snow. Spirits are soaring again and everyones seems to be going wassailing. Whenever you drive, be careful, and if you’ve been drinking, be more than careful — it can be a long way back from New York. Cheers!.

FRENCH GERMAN JRC Considers New Campus Store The Joint Residence Council has proposed the possibility of constructing a store for Behrend Campus. The discussion was held during JRC’s weekly meeting November 8. If a campus store was formed it would be fully sponsored by JRC. According to JRC co-chairman, Michael Chiricuzio, the store will only deal in non-taxable items, in order to avoid income tax hassles. The store would stock groceries and possibly anything else that students may show an interest in. A list of probably items to be stocked was drawn up. This list includes; various dairy products, (milk, butter, ice cream, and cheese), lunchmeats, juices, pop and assorted dry goods. JRC is presently searching for a reasonable supplier so as to be able to charge a decent price for their items. JRC doesn’t expect to Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Now it’s over. The political battle called “the choice of the century” has been ended. The American people have over whelmingly made a choice. That choice is Richard Nixon. Let me say, I congratulate all those who supported the re election of Nixon, you’ve won a great victory. However, I am proud too, in proclaiming that my first vote went for peace, for George McGovern. As part of the “loyal op position”, McGovern voters will, in general, support President Nixon. But, we will not “support policies we abhore”, as Senator McGovern said in his concession speech. We cannot compromise our principles for false unity. And we will not give up on the political process of this country. The eternal optimist can always look to 1976.

He must now continue in office four more years. If the policies of Richard Nixon move us closer to the peace abroad and justice at home, as'l hope they do, then the people can be proud of their choice. But if, war continues to fester at America’s moral sen sibility; if the unity we achieve is only lip-service and not a solution, if Richard Nixon does not put America on a road to the ideals we have the potential to reach, then the American people can only' blame themselves. They have gotten what they wanted in Richard Nixon. I truly hope America now gets what she so desperately needs.

The finance committee, with chairman Jeff Cole, discussed various money raising events. Other members of this committee are: Allan Corn man, Marty Sekerak and Gail Stiller. An activities committee was formed to present new ideas for upcoming events. Freshman president Fred Mayer and Jeff Cole are working together on this committee. The third committee is headed by Ed Hunkele. This committee serves to publicize the upcoming freshman meetings and ac tivities. Also on this committee are: Betty Meter, Elmo Nageotte, David Stanczak, and Willard Youger. Tentative plans for holding a “Freshmen Class Weekend” during winter term were discussed. But the class would first like to secure $3OO from preceding events to get them moving. Fred Mayer, freshman president, pointed out, “The class would hopefully be able to sponsor free activies if we could reach a goal of $3OO for set funds. But for. this to happen, we need more freshmen attendance at class meetings.” The class needs support from all freshmen to be successful. The next meeting will be held November 30 during common hour in the RUB. All freshmen make it your point to attend! Reed Lecture T 206 N 8 8123-124
