Gets A Start
In Porn Biz
Someone has been mak
ing pornographic movies in
the dorms at San Jose State
College in California for the
past two years, and the
productions have opened to
mixed reviews.
The whole college thing
has come together for me for
the first time," gushed one
coed who took part in the
filming. “Drinking, drugs
and sex, all at once.”
“Obscene behavior is
clearly contrary to university
policy,” harumphed college
president John Bunzel, who
has launched an investi
gation into the incident.
“I tried to be a cool
reporter but I must have
turned 12 shades of purple
before they were through,"
admitted Louise Randall, a
writer for the student
newspaper who hunted
down the action for two
months and then witnessed
the filming of a couple
scenes.
“Most of them are clean,
well-raised, mom-and-apple
pie types you wouldn’t pick
as porno chicks,” com
mented the director, speak
ing of the nine female
students who acted for him.
One male student also
starred in color films which
are being marketed for
$l,OOO each. The students
were paid up to $lOO for their
parts, although the director
said he had to hire
prostitutes for the “unusual”
sex scenes.

Marilynn Kanenson, an
independent Democratic
candidatefor the 104th legis
lative district and a graduate
of Capitol spoke here on
April 15.
The 104th district in
cludes the Capitol Campus
area.
After thumbing through
her campaign pamphlet, I
found a few key phrases that
made me uneasy.
Consider these:
Kanenson the citizen legis
lator; your citizen represen
tative; informed, interested
and energetic; and Let
Marilynn do your House
work.
This last phrase is
probably no more than a cute
and catchy campaign slo
gan, but the others are a bit
of an insult to the voters’
intelligence.
Of course she’s a citizen
representative. As far as I
know voting privileges have
not been given to any of the
lower orders of ferns.
And, if she isn’t inte
rested, what is she doing
running for state legislator?

If you see a new face in
the Counseling Center, it’s
Jim Gauger the new part
time counselor.
Besides counseling here,
Gauger also works for the
State Bureau of Child
Welfare on the Child Abuse
Hotline.
He has a bachelor degree
from Bloomsburg State
College and a master’s
degree from Shippensburg
State College.
Gauger, who will work
here 2 hours a week, will be
in the Counseling Center
from 12:30 p.m. to 9:oo
p.m. on Mondays and
Thursdays and from 1:00
p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on
Tuesdays.
As a counselor Gauger
will interpret test scores and
help students with personal,
social and educational pro
blems.
He is also interested in
vocational counseling and

Kanenson. As a matter of
fact, I found her to be quite
open.
When the issue of
juvenile justice was raised,
she admitted she did not
have enough guidelines to
act intelligently. For her, the
matter would take more
research, she said.
She seemed to know the
needs of her district, and on
these issues she was
coherent and offered con
structive proposals for
change.
If honesty was the only
criterion for a candidate, I
think she would have my
vote.

worried, about finding a job.
Being an ex-GI, Gauger
said he would like to meet
and talk with other ex-Gls.
He mentioned that he
returned to college after
being in the service.
Because of this personal
experience, he said he feels
he can relate to ex-Gls
beginning or returning to
college. He said, however,
the XGIs here always seem
to be on-the-go, so he plans
to visit the fraternity soon.
Gauger extends an invi
tation to all students to
come in to meet him in
W-117.
He says students do not
have to have a “big bad
problem” to come in for a
few counseling sessions.

face it, no one knows
everything about every thing.
Also, rather than take the
opportunity to lash out at her
opponent, she declared him
to be a “nice guy.”
But honesty does not a
good politician make, right?
Rather, it’s the ability to
talk out of both sides of
one’s mouth and smile at the
opposition through clenched
teeth.
And the favorite game is
to kick the wounded dog,
“When my opponent said
this, he really meant that.”
Why can’t we have a
simple “yes” or “no” to a
question? Or if need be, “I
really don’t know how to
answer that but I will check it
out?”
A pig can sniff out
truffles, but what about an
honest person?
And finally, must we be
subjected to catchy cam

phrase may sell toilet paper,
but I doubt that it sells
qualified people.
