    BULL FROM TURNBULL
'by Carol De Arrnent
College students are hard put
for time to themselves. Oh,
I have so much studying to do l .!.
SGA, the Cub, Program Committee...
But the things that keep
people unmercifully busy are
pinochle, pool, bowling, ping-pong
or cafeteria bull sessions.
Try it on anyone. Find a busy
buddy, ask him if he can spare
some time to help you out. Tell
him you want him to help you white
a theme, or work a math problem, or
run down to Erie Hall to run an
errand for you. It's amazing
how frantically busy he'll become!
So much work to do! Weeks behind!
Very sorry , but no can d 0...
Now find the same buddy later,
or the next day. He's got an hour
and really wants to get a little
work done.
But this time you ask him to
do some thing that's fun 2 Go
over and shoot pool, or something.
Well, he's busy, but that's not a
bad idea. As a matter of fact, he
can study all evening. Suddenly
he's less and less busy.
The words "I'm busy" are a cover.
When you use them, you usually mean
"flake off." I don't want to do
that. Don't bug me. In fact,
I'm usually "too busy" for
classes, assignments, English themes,
and tests. Certainly everyone's
too busy for mid-terms.
WEICOME BACK
We are pleased to announce that
Miss Margaret Schumacher, who
returned to the Behrend Campus on
February 1, 1967, will resume her
former duties as Librarian.
A TIME AND PLACE,
byJim Madura
The ability to express oneself
is a virtuous gift. The artist•
in painting, the writer in books
and poems, the statesman in
speeches; these aft are examples
of expression. Many people posess
great knowledge and extremely
interesting views on different
subjects. These subjects include
school, hobbies, news, art, music,
teenagers, and every concievable
subject. All people reserve the
right to his or her own thoughts
however public or personal they
may be. The late Senator Robert
A. Taft of Ohio remarked on the
idea of liberty towards thought by
saying: "Liberalism implies
particularly freedom of thought,
from orthodox dogma, the right of
other to think differently from
one's self. It implies a free
mind, open to new ideas and willing
to give attentive consideration....
When I say liberty, I mean liberty
of the individual to think his
own thoughts and live his own life
as he desires to think and live."
The basis of this weekly column •
will rest on the ideas of express
ionism of thought. Talk about sub
jects will vary greatly and will
definitely be subjects which you
have had some contact with. Some
subjects will deal with the campus,
students, and teachers. All views
expressed will be mine unless other
wise stated. In orger that the
students may comment, suggest, or
criticize please write me and leave
your letter on the receptionist desk
in the 0. B. I hope you will find
this column informative and inter
esting. The strength of a campus lies
in the minds of the students as shown
through the expression of thought.
