Recycle Your Reader
Dear Everyone:
Have you ever wondered what the C.C.READER could be
used for after you've finished reading it (if you read it) ?
Well, I think I've found a few novel and worthwhile uses for
it. It can be used for:
lining cat-pans
making paper-airplanes
making paper-hats
confetti, after it's shredded in a Watergate manner
practicing trash-can basketball
making spit-balls (if you're so inclined)
scribbling obscenities on
toilet-paper (in emergencies. Watch out if the ink's still
wet)
packing-paper
house-breaking your dog (extremely good for this)
as a poor man's door-mat (you'll need several)
as a dust-collector (keeps shelves clean)
scrap book material (if you're a dedicated Capitol
:student)
or you can just throw it away (which is something they
aven't done yet in the Readeroff ice). At any rate, I hope
've been able to help you in deciding how you're going to
•o your bit for ecology and recycle the C.C. Reader. Oh,
eah - one more thing: you can stick it up whatever part of
ho's ever anatomy you wish. It's bio-degradeable.

Is This Any Way
To Run A University?
To the Editor
Although I do not consider the C.C.READER a top
quality, literary production, I do read it each week and find
it suits my needs in knowing the events on campus. As I
was on my way out the door to go home, I grabbed this
week's edition, stopped at the door, and went back to get
the rest of it. When I returned to the pile, I sawthat I had all
there was of it. I thought, "Well, they must be using
cheaper paper (there's a shortage of everything now
adays)". However, upon reading the paper, I saw the article
• from the "Head Reader Honcho" with his explanation.
' lam not familiar with how the newspaper is funded, but
it would seem to me that the University should finance its
publication. To me, the C.C.READERIS AN OUTLET FOR
THE STUDENTS TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS AS WELL AS
GIVING THOSE WHOSE INTERESTS ARE CITED IN
OURNALISWI A CHANCE TO SEE THEIR WORKS IN
PRINT.
The trend at Capitol Campus seems to be stifling the
interests of the students instead of being an inspiration.
his follows suit not only with the C.C.READER but with
.ny student initiated production. I have always believed
that education was not useful unless it could be applied.
"Knowlege through Experience". At Capitol, we are gaining
nowlege but not given the chance to apply that
nowledge. It seems as though the teachers and admini
strators are saying you have the knowledge and you can
.pply it once you are in the outside world; so for now,
oon't bother us. Are they only getting paid to teach or are
hey getting paid to teach as well as show an interest in
tudent planned programs.
Is this any way to run a University?

P.P.S. As Chingus Khan knows, there are very few decent
•uys at Capitol. In fact there probably are not enough
decent guys to go around for all the decent chicks.

C.C. READER
To the Editor
Responding to the "Letter to the Editor" which appeared
in the Feb 6th edition of the C.C.READER regarding
weekend hours at the base gym and the rec/Ath Building.
An attendant is on duty at both of these buildings Saturday
and Sunday from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. (Incidentally, these
building hours are determined by results from previous
frequency use charts!!!) It has been the policy in the past
that any student, faculty and/or staff member could use
the gym at other times if it was not pre-scheduled.
Arrangements for its use were to be made Monday through
Friday by contacting either myself or Mrs. Arehart at the
Rec/Ath building. (This policy was understood by many of
the students at Capitol Campus. In fact, the Captain of the
Court Jesters, the team who wrote the letter to the editor,
has personally signed the key out to the base gym on
numerous occasions!) I agree that the gym should be
used as much as possible every day of the week, and, for
the most part, I feel that the policy at Capitol Campus
permits this. But...in order to make things more convenient
for those wanting to use the gym during unscheduled
times, the following policy will be effective immediately:
Monday Thru Friday - the key to the base gym is available
(as always) at the Rec/Ath Bldg. Your ID must be left at the
R/A Bldg.
Saturday and Sunday - the key to the base gym will be
available at the residence of Kenneth Hession - 840 A Jones
Street, Meade Heights, or call 944-5814. ID cards will be
required.

The Capitalistic
Opression Of The
Human Spirit
Jerry Farber has made the explicit point that "Students
are niggers." Read his book and you will understand this
quote.Knowlege is only a book away. Don't accept things
just because that is the way they are. Question!! People
only choose options. They think they are experiencing
freedom when in reality the options are assigned to them.
Why do you buy Valentine gifts, etc.? Think about it. Does
soft music in an automobile factory make the worker
happy? Yes, it obviously does - at the expense of individual
freedom and creativity. It also fattens the rich who throw
tid-bits to workers in the form of wages causing them to
exemplify those who exploit them. Why are you in school?
Is it for your own personal growth and self-realization and
that of the world and the human beings who exist around
you? Or areyou here to be trained to exploit people. Can
there be a pure human spirit in this state of American
affairs??
"There has got to be a way to be "free" without being
maniacally and insipidly euphoric, and to be consistent,
strong, effective but not tight asses, businesslike and
bureaucratic." (Jonathan Kozol) Which side of the fulcrum
do you sit on? We realize socialization and institutionalized
learning play a part in your total development but you must
rise above it if you are to become a conscious, aware,
autonomous person. We spit on adjustment. The only thing
that is consistent is change.
To this day, we celebrate the birthday of a man who was
a radical social deviant,Christ, who believed in the innate
goodness of the human species. True, we are not as overtly
oppressed as was evident in man's immediate and not so
immediate past. We have advanced intellectually into a
technological subtle suppression where most individuals
have no idea whatsoever that they are slaves!! Where's
your head? Have you've been had???
Consider the alternatives, not the assigned options. You
are a free-willed existing entity with the capacity to think
and to take positive actions toward your ideal thoughts.
There is only one thing that is unpardonable. That is to sit
and smile in some mystical wide-eyed, non-directive, and
inscrutable existence- AND DO NOTHING.
Wishing you a moment of thoughtful human spirit,
Michael McAllister

Foreign
Students'
Dreams
Destroyed
Minneapolis, Minn
Foreign students, lack
ing a strong organized
lobby, are finding life-long
dreams and plans destroy
ed by policies they cannot
oppose. Last summer, the
Immigration and Naturali
zation Service (INS) began
enforcing a new, tougher
policy on the granting of
summer work permits for
foreign students.
Prior to that time, the
foreign student advisors on
college and university cam
puses made the decision
on foreign-student applica
tions for summer work per
mits. But last summer such
permits were granted only
by the INS and the policy
willbe in effect again next
summer.
The policy change was
the result of fears by the
U.S.Labor Department that
foreign students were
working while there was
high unemployment among
low-income minority group
members and Vietnam vet
erans.
Many of the foreign stu
dents come from under
developed countries and
even the wealthiest fami
lies cannot accumulate
enough money to pay for
four years of schooling.
Moore said many countries
have restrictions on how
much money may be taken
out of the country and
often even large sums of
money accumulated in a
student's native country
become small amounts
when exchanged into
currency.
Moore said the INS is the
"prosecutor, judge and
jury" in all cases although a
student may appeal a de
cision. Usually such an
appeal may bring a post
ponement and allow a stu
dent to complet the current
school year but without
completing his degree
goals. And going home
without a degree is difficult
to accept.
