For Your Information
Students frequently ask counselors and faculty whether or not taking the
GRE, LSAT, GMAT and other tests a second time is worthwhile. In an article in
the December, 1980, Law School Admission Bulletin the following table appeared
with the caveat: "The data in this table are based on a self-selected sample of
persons who elected to repeat the test for a variety of reasons. If all the
examinees were to repeat the test, the results might be significantly different.
Therefore, you should keep in mind that the table may not accurately reflect an
individual's chances of obt4ining a given [LSAT] score change." (p. 11)

Also, the Law School Admissions Council, recommends early submission of
LSAT/LSDAS materials, citing that registration processing as of December 15,
1980 was running about 9% ahead of last year at the same time, with registrations
running about 17% ahead in November, 1980 from the same period last year.
Pace as Douglass
By John G. Harvey
Anything proven by what we do?
Anything known to really be true?
I feel like the answer
You don't want to seek,
I feel like the question you don't
Want to speak,
But don't talk to me --
Talk to your so-called friends
'Cause mine just begins
Where theirs all ends.
It comes down to taste
As to what you'll believe,
You'll trip on nostalgia
With your head on your sleeve.
Across the Street
Old Autumn Heidelberg
Stone streets glisten.
The neckar listens.
Nicotine-stained stained-glass
Windows, cognac lips and big hips,
Dirty cafe's, cave tavern of European
Thought.
"Those grapes can die from their own
Sweetness."

Counterrevolutionary
VIOLENCE ERUPTS BETWEEN
ANON AND EKM FORCES
KM -- Fighting erupted between rev
, lutionary and counterrevolutionary
orces two weeks ago.
A lightly armed EKM scanning de
achment was surprised on its way to
• non's revolutionary hideout by Col.
..C. Anon himself. Federation officials
• eny that the move by EKM warriors
as an attack. They state that EKM
arriors were on a search mission when
• non unexpectedly arrived and cut the
orce in two.
Although taken by surprise, the
EKM warriors did effectively scan the
revolutionary hideout for any defensive
system.
Anon had not been able to put out a
call for help because he was engaged in
fighting an EKM warrior in an isolated
battle.
No EKM warriors were lost and
Anon was reported fleeing down Mars.
Later that same week, Anon's force
moved against EKMStarbase Colony 09
and successfully knocked out the screen
defense system. However, no EKM
warriors were stationed there at that
time.
Actor Charles Pace's one-man por
trayal of the renowned freedom fighte
Frederick Douglass, held January 29t
in the Capitol Campus auditorium, is
tribute to Douglass and the great legac
that he left to the world. It is also :
tribute to the accomplishments an
excellent acting of Charles Pace.
With little more than a table and
few chairs, Pace was able to transfor
the stage into the Lloyd plantation, wer
Douglass grew up, a London tavern,
train traveling the Mid-west, and tly ,
Corinthian Hall in Rochester, New York
"Charles Pace as Frederick
Douglass" looks into the philosophy of
Douglass as well as highlights his life as
a slave and a free man committed to
abolishing slavery in America.
Pace, who wrote as well as portrayed
Frederick Douglass is a co-founder of
The Afro-American Players, Inc., a
theater company in Austin, Texas. He
has also performed at several colleges in
Africa as part of an exchange program.
An interview with Charles Pace
(taped in the Black Cultural Arts Center)
will be aired on Tuesday, February 10th
at 10 p.m. on WITF's program "Common
Ground."
ANON'S REFUGE FALLS
EKM -- Lt. Col. S.C. Anon's refuge waa
successfully attacked and captured by
EKM forces last Friday. A fully equip.
ped detachment from the 09 starbas€
attacked Anon's refuge by entering thru
a breech in their shield defense mecha
nism. No revolutionaries were reported
captured. More recent reports indicate
that there was one rebel sleeping in a
hidden room.
After the initial attack, EKM intel
ligence directed the detachment to scan
the SMROD system for Anon. During
that scan, EKM forces were attacked by
two hostile alien beings. Light damage
was inflicted onto the detachment. After
the attacks an immediate withdrawal
was ordered. There was a negative scan
on ANON.
Sunday, two days after the first
major attack of the war, EKM again
attacked Anon's refuge in full strength.
This time battle was engaged and Anon's
force was beaten back after thirty
minutes of fighting. No demands for
surrender have been given to Anon by
the EKM Federation'i i •
