Campus Voice Advice for Bush and Quayle by Rob Prindle and Brett Taylor Dr. John Gamble Prof, of Political Science Tor the sake of the country, focus on (the year) 2020 and not 1922. The next four years will be damn difficult and will require tough decisions by the president.'’ Gamble said. His advice to Bush is "Don't be afraid to make hard decisions and realize that they will be good for ’(he cotofotry and not for your re eledtion shbices!" Pierre Stanton sth semester Engineering Science Pierre has some simple advice for the new President: "Don't die. I wouldn't want to see Quayle take over." Pierre continued by advising Bush to "choose less conservative Supreme Court Justices, He (Bush) could screw the country for generations if his selections are too conservative. Late last month in the lobby of Niagara Hall the topic of creative dating was discussed under the leadership of Deanna Goodenow, Eric Gustafson, Jennifer Hart, and Officer Todd. Allen. A lively group of over 20 students were there as eager participants in the fun. The group was divided by sex and had three tasks to complete. Cara Jiuliante Secretary for Career am Placement / DUS Cara advises the next administration to "Do the best job they can in seeing that American people are looked after. Watch taxes, add more social programs, keep inflation down and stay out of war.” i-V ' < j Cindy Kurt Ist semester Aerospace Engineering Cindy is happy about the election outcome and advises Bush and Quayle to "Go ahead with defense spending, but don't raise taxes." ■ Darrell Freund sth semester Political Science Darrell said of the President-elect "I wish him the best of luck.

" Darrell also also suggests that they deviate from "Reaganomics." photos by Tracy Cross Each group had to come up with lists. The guys were asked to list their best pick-up lines, their ideal dates, and a girls' ideal date. At the same time the girls were asked to write the worst pick-up lines, their ideal date and a guys' ideal date. After IS minutes the lists were shared and compared. Not surprizing to any of the female participants, many of the guy's "best lines" were the girls worst Come-ons such as "Oh, you have beautiful eyes" and "What's your major" and the ever famous "Do you want to go for a walk and get some fresh air." Some of the men's ideal dates ranged from dinner and ballet on her, to dinner at Dobbins and an SPC movie. The girls said the guys would rather meet the girl somewhere, go to a fast food drive through and just drive around. The guys avenged themselves by saying that a girl's ideal date is a shopping spree in a large mall which must contain both a Bennetton and a Merry-Go-Round store. Yet the girls favorite dates range from cooking their date a meal at home to an elegant dinner followed by dancing. Of course, the lists were all in fun. After the compare and share time, a group discussion was opened. Questions were raised on topics like: "What's a girls best Advice for Freshmen: Start Thinking Seriously About Having Fun by Brett Taylor Collegian Staff Writer One of the great advantages of starting college is that one can assume an entirely new identity. I know. In high school I was know as Mary Sue Goldstein. Think of college as reincarnation. Suddenly you are bom into an unassuming world composed almost exclusively of people your own age and IQ. The beauty of this situation is, none of these people know what a geek you were in high school. Ah, high school! The loving principal, the locker bays decked with signs and streamers, the gum stuck under the desk just where you left it, and the shimmering corridors where you proudly strode like a god last year - these are the memories which will live forever. Well, forget all that. Your high school doesn't exist anymore. It burned down minutes after you left for your first graduation party. Now everything you ever learned or did in high school is meaningless, just like you thought it was all along. All of the activities and offices and awards have served their purpose by getting you into this, the college of your choice. Now it's time to start over. Nobody remembers nor cares about those things now but you and your parents. Oh yes, parents. Forget them too, as well as everything they taught you while your brain was still soft in its shell. It's time you realized that eating three meals a day is an archaic concept, as is going to sleep every night. The human body can go for months without food, after all, and sleep is just a concentrated method of wasting time.

Just act casual and calm and don't use the old and boring lines like, "Do you like Behrend" or "Is that seat taken?" The question still remains, what is a person to do if he really wants to find out if a seat is taken? The laughter turned into quiet attention as Officer Todd Allen changed to a more serious topic by briefly talking about the problems of drinking and date rape. Officer Allen hit on some interesting facts and important ideas on the topic. He wanted women to be aware of sexual harassment and he warned against driving while under the influence of alcohol. It would seem that creative dating is more than just coming up with new pick-up lines and ideal dates. We all know that there isn't much to do on a date at Behrend besides Blue Bus adventures to the mall jungle or SPC movies and dances. If you're lucky enough to have a car, you can drive to Erie and see a movie or go to one of the few clubs or night spots, but why do something as normal as that? And more importantly, why spend money? Why not go for a walk in the Gorge, attend a soccer game or IM flag football game, or enjoy some other fun event on campus. Sometimes the better dates are ones where you don't have to spend a lot of money. semesters, effectively beating your roommate to the job market by two and a half years.
