Campus Voice Due to the recent publicity in the media regarding the legalization of drugs, we asked students and staff bow they feel about the option of the legalization of marijuana. Here are the responses we received: by Vail Weller and Nan Quatchak Entertainment Editors Chris Tann sth Semester English "I am completely against it. The government should stay uninvolved. I think they'd screw the whole thing up." Dave Ruffennach 7th Semester Management "It shouldn't be. The negative effects are that it's bad for the economy because it would be bad for productivity. And it would probably result in more traffic accidents and overall it would be bad for the health of the nation."

By Tammy Furyesz Collegian Staff Writer Oprah Winfrey- One night David Letterman was conducting a one-sided debate with his band leader Paul Shaffer, about the New Oprah. I prefer the "old” Oprah, said Dave, the Oprah we grew up with as kids, the Mrs. Butterworth Oprah. There definitely is a New Oprah. Her hair once round and shrubby, has become flipped tip of black flame. Her neck and wrists are bound with ornate gold, her eyes are fitted with designer lenses, her dresses are fancy parachutes awhirl with flaps and billows. She casts a queenly aura. Sometimes as Oprah stands there in her all resplendent finery, a shade of dismay crosses her face and you can almost hear her thinking, What am I doing surrounded by all these sorry looking people? No doubt its because the butts in her bleachers look as if they were herded in from the nearest shopping mall. Oprah often appears puzzled and distracted as she models her gowns for her fans. Perhaps it's because she guiltily knows that she hasn't done her homework. Of all the talk show hosts she comes across as the most ill-prepared. It's as if her show had become simply another Aids Talk Condoms by Carl Dabler Sitting cross legged on her bed, just dressed in an old gray tee shirt and a pair of blue running shorts, Patty was having one of those long talks with her good friend Lia. Lia was half leaning and half sitting on Patty's desk listening attentively to what Patty had to say. "I just don't know what's up with Tony anymore," Patty said with perplexity written all over her face. ”1 really love the big brute, even when he tries to pull a big macho routine on me." The whole time she's talking she is playing with her long chestnut colored hair, wrapping it around her index finger. _ .. "What do you mean, you don’t know what's up with Tony anymore" asks Lia with her blue eyes staring down on Patty. "Well, you know Tony and I have been going together for the last two years and we've gotten really close— you can even say I love him. Last Friday night after the party was over at the Bridge House, we went back to his apartment down in Wesleyville like we always do on weekends. Well, one thing led to another—you know, but it was totally different. Tony and I had agreed early on in our relationship that neither of us were ready or willing to take the risk of me getting pregnant. So we’ve been using condoms when we have sex." "OK Patty, just what did happen THE CARD GALLERY K-Mart Plaza East *■ (S) Buffalo Rd. gg) —' 899-8782 We have cards & decorations for HALLOWEEN! w ff-ff-ininL TALENT N 1C IE ID IE ID I!

The show can still click when she grabs a hold of a thrashing issue and shows some tenacity. Too often, however, the New Oprah seems afraid of breaking a precious nail. Geraldo Rivera- After his empty raid into the cobwebs of A 1 Capone's vault, Rivera has opened his own nationwide trauma center. Though he now wears a reassuring grin he still walks barefoot across burning issues while fulfilling his quota of drag performers and male hustlers. So far the tackiest "Geraldo” concerned breast obsession, with a special all-bimbo panel starring author Erica Jong, actress Edy Williams, and Nonactress Angelyne ( It’s so much fun being famous for nothing"). The show began with Geraldo's historical overview of breasts. He introduced us to to "A respected anthropologist [shot of anthropologist walking down street] whose work is unlocking the wonders of human behavior. We chose to ask her about her breasts." the respected anthropologist "When you think about big breasts, all it is is a lot extra fat around the nipple. I mean chimpanzees, our very close that has got you so shook up" asked Lia. "Tony outright refused to use a condom and said he wasn't going to use one anymore. He says it just doesn't feel right wearing one. He's complaining that its not just the same as really making love to me" replies Patty. "Does Tony realize what kind of Russian Roulette you both could be playing, with not using condoms" retorts Lia. Lia's right. When a couple, unless they arc one-hundred percent monogamous over a long period of time are setting themselves up for all kinds of problems above and beyond the obvious of pregnancy. From the simplest case of possibly passing back and forth a yeast infection to the more severe case of contracting Herpes or HIV viruses these are just a few of the possibilities. Viruses come in many different varieties. You have your standard variety virus, such as a cold virus. After a while, the person's immune system fights off this virus and leaves the person. The individual may come down with a cough and/or fever, but that is the worst of it The Herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores and genital herpes infections, live in nerve cells. After setting up an infection, the virus reproduces in the skin, causing painful blisters for a week or two.

Jong tried to take the high road, making march-of-history sounds about the "worldwide struggle” of women. But for Jong the highroad winds around her own mansion of ego. She informed Geraldo's . audience that she's always had lots of men attracted to her although she doesn't have a perfect body. Even so, she was gracious enough to proclaim her "great empathy and sisterhood" with the inflatable Edy and Angelyne, whom the camera cut showed propping up her breasts and exhibiting lots of tongue. They seemed to extraterrestrial to achieve sisterhood with earth women. Geraldo then brought on a Psychobabblist who proclaimed that nature didn't design women's bodies for men's pleasure this didn't sit too well with Edy and Angelyne, who shifted buttocks and made breathy protests -- and then Geraldo plunked his mike in front of a grandmotherly type who, reading off a notccard, said "I’m a 36D.

The next day the topic was child abuse. Understandably, Geraldo was in an accusatory mode. "Look at these abuse pictures ..." he said as the screen flashed shots of bruised bodies. "They make you want to scream bloody murder." But child abuse is so ghastly-appalling that it doesn't need this pornographic layer of pulp exploitation to make us feel distraught. And how does one deal with the severe mood swings that Geraldo's trauma center induces? One afternoon it's bubbleheads and their breasts, and the next afternoon it’s children who have been raked through hell. Our clue to how to respond is whether Geraldo is wearing a happy face or his frown face. Both faces are pushy. Is there an end in sight to these strip pallors? Doesn't seem so. There is even a scries kicking around called "People in Crisis," on which a bearded shrink practices insta-therapy as a studio audience supplies rah-rah atmosphere. Could this be a sign that the trend is beginning to thin itself out through self imitation and may soon reach the final drops? We can only hope.
