NOVEMBER 22, 1974 SitAate t c 9 , /co/nt Je (ohm. This is the time of year that most standard newspapers print editorials relating to what we have to be thankful for. They always go on about how we should be thankful for the things we have that "less fortunate people" don't have. That's the same spiel we all got from our parents when we were children: "Eat all your food. Think of all those poor starvin' Ar menians." (By the way, I still want to meet a starving Armenian). And they'd also go on about what we all have to be thankful about. Well, knowing that the few of you out there who read my column don't want to be bored with the same old shit, I've decided that, to make us all feel better, I'd draw-up a list of things we wish we could be thankful about if we only had them. After all, there is really very little in the news to actually make you thankful about anything, so this list will give you a reason to walk around with a Thanksgiving frown: You wish you could be thankful about (1) Having Nelson Rockefeller as a friend. (2) Having three courses which require only one term paper, and no attendance, and the profs are Rockefellers with 'A's. (3) Going to a supermarket and not returning home with a case of high blood-pressure. (4) The only mushrooms that exist are the ones you grow in your garden. (5) Reading a really entertaining editorial in the Reader for a change. (6) Add your own list. Maybe it'll make more sense than mine. At any rate, I hope that if you have anyping to be thankful about this Thanksgiving, you enjoy yourself giving thanks while eating your bird (which'll probably be sparrow, at today's prices). And if you don't, well, that's your problem. Anyway, have fun on the only legitimate vacation Capitol Campus recognizes, and, Happy Thanksgiving! DEADLINE FOR THE NEXT ISSUE IS NOV. 26, 3:00 PM.

This dream two months vacation can be all yours. No puzzles to figure out, either. Just take a picture which, in the opinion of judges, is worthy of publication in the Minolta College Gallery and is the best of all entries, and you'll be on your way. Minolta's photo competition is exclusively for college students. Grad students, too. Male and female. The big camera company has come up with a big idea: The Minolta College Gallery, a special section to appear periodically in College Magazine and containing at least ten prize winning photos taken by students attending a college or university in the United States. The top prize will be a two months vacation in Europe next summer for the winner and a friend. The company will provide all air transportation and in addition give the big winner $5,000 in cash to pay for all lodgings, food, ground transportation and other ex penses. Additionally, the two travelers will each receive Minolta SR-T 102, 35 mm reflex cameras. -J.S.B Contestants, whose pictures are published in the College Gallery, will each receive $lOO in cash. Minolta has selected eight categories for the College Gallery: sports, still lifes, social commentary, human interest, abstracts, en vironment, humor or news. Visual effectiveness and technical ability will rate high. Also, to be considered in the judging will be the ap propriateness of the subject matter to a specified category. Judging will be done by an independent organization. Students can enter as many photos as they wish, but each must have an official entry forms. Forms can be obtained from Minolta's advertising department at 101 Williams Drive, Ramsey, N.J., 07446. Entries must be postmarked by January 20, 1975, and received by January 31, 1975. A Minolta spokesman said that the contest for college students has no connection with any other contest the company might be running simultaneously. So, get that camera loaded with film. And start shooting. We want one of us to win! XFI REPORTER Well, our Football Team has done it again. On a cold Nov. 13 night, a few bodies braved the weather to show up for a game but to their disappointment the game was forfeited by the Vikings. The team is now 5-2 and will play E-Z on Nov. 20. Washington, D.C. Monday, November 18, 1974 XGl's of Capitol Campus participated in a march up Pennsylvania Ave. to raise support for the signing of the proposed GI Bill by President Ford. The new bill will give a 23 percent increase in monthly benefits, an extension of 9 months of extra benefits for under graduate work, and a loan feature up to $6OO. The President has threatened to veto the bill as he feels it is inflationary. Watch the Patriot News for an exclusive article based on an interview with the XGIs of Capitol Campus. Mr. Barker Howland interviewed various fraternity members on Tuesday, Nov. 19. The article should prove to be interesting reading!! . Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you! to all the wonderful people who took the time and donated blood to help their fellow students. The Blood Bank is a very worthwhile cause and your support was greatly appreciated. A tally of the total pints donated will be presented in the next issue. I also would like to thank all the people who supported our Keggar on Saturday evening. We all had a great time and we hope and trust that you also were relieved of the pressures of constant study. Sorry if the pressures were pounding in the head on Sun day!!! A Note from Student Affair JAwt 15aa,441 21, "Can I post this sign?" "Nobody looks at the Bulletin Boards." "Is anybody going to Philadelphia this weekend?" These and similar statements are made by students practicall everyday. So let's see if we can't work a little better. First, students may post notices, signs, etc. on the Bulleti Boards. Each one is to have on it the name of who posted it and th date the sign is to be removed. Second, notices are not to be of a commercial nature Third, the person who posts a notice is responsible for removing Fourth, certain Bulletin Boards are for specific purposes - only post notices on them which are appropriate. At the bottom of the center stairway is a "Ride Board". Notices of rides needed or available should be posted there. On the first floor in the center section is a board where students may advertise for sale items - skis, books, motor cycle helmets, etc. Fifth, notices may be posted only on Bulletin Boards - not on walls, doors, etc. More detailed information can be found on page 34 of the Student Handbook. If you have any questions, just stop by the Student Affairs Of fice. Oh, one final thing. "Read what's on the Bulletin Boards, you'll find out what's happening on campus."
