Page Two To preface this letter a few facts should be known. During the last week, Perry Hall was struck with a wave of serious vandalism resulting in the loss of a telephone, front door, and candy machine for the second time this term. Patience is growing very slim amongst the administration and should be wearing thin with the fellow residents as well. For example, loss of that phone means that im portant calls that would have come through will now find the number out of order. It is time to stop playing around. Some Can, Some Can't: • This weekend ; Perry Dorm was systematically leveled to the ground. Well, the damage was not quite to that extent but the results of this weekend once again prove the budding maturity of a segment of Behrend students. A phone was torn from the wall, a candy machine was broken and a plate glass door was shattered.

The staff reserves the right to correct "high" time of the week seems to be more prevelant as of late. All this seems to say that we have some very sick individuals amongst us. I feel sorry for them, but the real problem lies with the students that can conduct themselves "normally". They are the ones that will suffer for the actions of those that can't. It's well known amongst dorm students that financial burden for dorm damage is incurred by the residents of that dorm. Second, if damage continues along the same level, the University will have no choice but to enforce restrictions on all students, not just the group that can't party without throwing in some destruction. What this amounts to is a negative action against students that should be allowed to maturely have a good time. The only method around such an action is to remove those students who can't seem Tidbits several Student Advisors under the direction of Jeff Lang.

News Editor Linda Johnson Behrend Col I egi an to grow up, those who jeopardize the enjoyment of students that can drink and still conduct themselves as they should. I believe that a true feeling of contempt should be passed on to students who can't act maturely. It is this small fraction of students that is jeopardizing us. By the way, I hear there is a fifty dollar reward for information as to who destroyed the door. Dead or alive? Les Adams Resident Assistant Perry Hall The Executive Editor fully agrees with the above and hopes there will be a quick and permanent end to needless destruction of dorm property. Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: You would think you were climbing the stairway to heaven every time you ascend Mount Dobbins for a tasteless tidbit of culinary catastrophe, at least you have got to climb more steps than Jacob's Ladder has rungs, but if the good Lord is anywhere near that horacious hall, He has indigestion. I shouldn't complain though, I've found the answer to Dobbins Hall's vulgar victuals. What our cafeteria needs is an Exorcism. That's right, I have proof that Dobbins Hall is possessed by a demon. According to the Rituale Romanum, the official text on possession matters, before an Exorcism can be granted, all physical and psychiatric ex planations for the subject's behavior must be exhausted. Well, there is no physical reason why meat should look and taste more dead than it actually is. And there is no phsyciatric reason for serving fish that tastes like it's from Lake Erie, to name a few. If you saw or read "The Exorcist", you know the possessed person or thing is affected by sleepless nights, a shaking bed and moving furniture. Just think, I always thought it was just gas. Supposedly the possessed uses vulgar language while his tongue flicks and furs. Personally, words can not describe that first declinable mouthful, although many other people are quick to COLLEGE STUDENT'S POETRY ANTHOLOGY The NATIONAL POETRY PRESS • announces its SPRING COIvirETITION The dosing date for the submiision of manuscripts by College Students is April 10 ANY STUDENT attending either junior or senior college is eligible to submit his verse.

Also the possessed is to have a knowledge of unusual facts and be able to speak a foreign language that he could not possibly know through normal intelligence. When a few of my friends received a warning for a food battle—there were 40-50 people involved but someone just happened to know my friends' names, so they were the only ones chastized—the following conversation took place after the sentencing: R. Finley—" What did you get?" One of my Friends—"A warning." R. Finley—" That's what I thought you would get. Don't worry about it, it's nothing." That must be a foreign Dear Editor: After attending the last SGA meeting (February 18), I became aware of miniature syndicate on campus. The organization I'm referring to is the Student Union Board run by Bruce Zimmerman. After hearing one of his disciples relate to me his recent trip to Texas, it is my understanding that this vacation cost the Union Board approximately $l,OOO. Where does this money come from? I wonder because the Union Board recently asked SGA for and received $B5-$lOO for a sponsorship to an upcoming chess, table-tennis, and bowling Inter-commonwealth campus tourney. Why should they ask for this money when they seem to be able to afford a nice four days in Houston? This is the students' money, not theirs ! Jim Arstrong February 21, 1974 language because it surely doesn't make any sense in English. I am in the process of submitting this evidence as proof that Dobbins Hall is possessed by a demon. Hopefully I can persuade Graham Kerr to come and perform an Exorcism.
