CONCERNED COLLEGIANS
AGAINST ABORTION ABUSE
Due to the difficulties people are experiencing in trying to obtain a legal abortion
many profit making ventures have been founded to act as booking agents. These
groups charge substantially for these services and naturally this results in higher
costs to the patient. Often these services are mail order houses or travel agencies
with no medical staff.
As a public sendee we list the following out-patient clinics, staffed by licensed
OB - GYN personnel and meeting all medical guidelines issued by N.Y.S.
To obtain an abortion a patient need only call any of the following listed facilities,
and speak directly to personnel able to give pertinent information with regard to
that clinic. IN NO CASE SHOULD YOU SEND ANY MONEY IN ADVANCE, IT
IS NOT NECESSARY.

SAYGS SAYS:
No Regrets, Just Memories
As the snow fel I silently outside the dorm window my thoughts drifted back to the first time I'd ever seen this tiny
campus. It was the epitome of my dreams of what colleges should look like. West Point was the only prettier setting
for a school I had ever seen. I'd been excited about coming here, and played the part of the braggadocio around my
high school.
I have to laugh as I recall first impressions of my "Long-haired freak" of a roommate and our early battles over
whether the windows would be open or shut at night. I was a lot bigger "Don't hit me you big, fat oaf!", he would
scream as I threatened to kill him for closing the windows.), so they would remain open. We mlist have made a
rather odd looking team, but we hung together pretty well. And damned if we didn't have have to, what with that
pair of maniacs next door! Many were the nights
that no one on West Side 11 got a moment's rest due to the war between 220
and the "Secret Clubhouse", a few of which went down in the annals of "Erie
County's Greatest Fracases". The one "Clubhouse" member was iusta runt
of a guy, "no highter than a grasshopper's knee", but with more spunk than
can be doused by a couple of wastepaper baskets of water. Belive me, I
know. When he's not busy stealing my yellow hat, or being sucked to death
by his constant companion, he prides himself on being the "Wyoming Golf
Champion" ("Me and my Judy Kimball S Iron.") There have been quite a
few fiercely contested golf tournaments between the Wyoming and Colorado
champion (that's me) around West Side II in the wee hours of the morning.
The other guy in 219 was the founder of the "Walking Wounded". He is the
proud holder of three (count 'em, three) World Titles. They are, in no special
order, the World's Greatest Masochist, the World's Greatest Actor-at-
Playing-Hurt, and the World's Greatest Jagger. He is, I think, more like me
than anyone else up here, and for that reason, if for no other, I think he's a
helluva guy!.

Jim Channas, captain-elect, of
the soccer team has been named
All-Region-Honorable mention. .
.1 hated to see it happen but my
team from South Bend, Indiana,
took it on the chin last week. So to
speak! They failed to establish a
running game early, when it was
dry, and the secondary of Ellis,
Crotty and Kelly was terrible. Oh
well, Texas will have it taken out
on them in the Cotton Bowl on
New Year’s day!. . ’What’s Joe
Kapp going to use at the
bargaining table next year. The
way Kapp is playing this season
the Patriots would be better off
asking George Plimpton to come
out of retirement. . . .Pete
Maravich is beginning to find his
offensive game but leaves much
to be desired defensively. . .The
Bucks and the Knicks played a
great game on national TV last
Friday afternoon, which saw the
Bucks come out on the short end.
Milwaukee was up by 9 points at
one time but fell to the .clutch
efforts of Dave Stallworth and
Walt Frazier. The Knicks hold
the edge over the Bucks because
of a much stronger bench. .
.Sports Illustrated came out with
their collegiate roundball picks
and the Bruins of UCLA he2d the
list once again. With Sidney
Wicks, Curtis Rowe, Patterson
and Bibby back for another
season, I look for Johnny
Wooden’s squad to come thru
with an undefeated season. South
Carolina rates the number two
pick for SI. but I see Kentucky,
with the ‘ole master, Adolph
Rupp, in his final year as coach,
to come in behind' the Bruins. .
.As for the Bowl games: The
Fighting Irish over Texas in the
Gotten Bowl, Ohio State to defeat
Plunkett and Stanford, in
Pasadena, Nebraska to down
LSU in the Orange Bowl and Air
Force in a thriller over Ten
nessee in the Sugar Bowl. Last
week 5 and 3, for a .625 pet.; .708
pet. overall.

THENITTANYCUB
By Roger Sager
CUB Sports Editor
The snow continued total! as I thought of the first time I ran into a neighbor
from across the hall in the cafeteria. The lanky longhair was spouting off
something about "My Braves", who just happened to be hooked up in a
pennant race with My Giants. We hit it off right from the beginning, and still
do, even though "His Braves" won the pennant. It'll be a long time before
either of us forgets the Rabble's vain attempt at capturing the Intramural
Basketball Championship. However, it's gonna be even longer before we'll
forget a ride back to Behrend after Thanksgiving last year.
I first met the driver of that car on the basketball court. At the time, he was
letting his hair grow to look like the picture of Joe Cocker on Joe's first
album. Undoubtedly, he and I have been through more unbelievalbe oc
currences together than the Lone Ranger and Tonto. We have sweated photos
from Yonkers Raceway to Thistledown (and to think, the poor soul had never
been to a race track until he met me!). We have played NFL Centra! Division
football games in four feet of snow on the plateaus in front of Perry in the
dark of night. But most of all, we got drunk together a lot! I'll never forget
spending nights in his room, when out of the dark would come a "Boy, am I
drunk!", followed by a hysterical shriek, which couldn't help but start me
laughing hysterically also, since I too, would be far from sober. But the
man's most classic move was on the way back after Thanksgiving, when
upon coming off a detour on Route 80, he drove towards Harrisburg instead of
Williamsport. The aforementioned Braves fan and myself were sleeping at
the time, and thus thought it very funny when we awoke to hear the driver
exclaiming, "Hey! That looks like Harrisburg!" This, of course, was
radiculous. Why, Harrisburg must be 200 miles the other way! The
"Welcome to Harrisburg"sign cut our laughter short. A IVt. hr. trip suddenly
became 13 hrs. long!
The radio was warning of a possible accumulation of 20 inches when my
Noughts drifted back to the present. My eyes were drawn to the window,
where a constant cascade of snowflakes confined to fall. As I continued to
stare out tne window, l heard the door to the “223 Club" open and shut, it was
the co-proprietor of the "Ciub", this year's roomie. Roomie! Last year, you
might have rad to walk the plank had you caiied him anything but "Ac
mira!" 1 The “Navy" had been established one drunken night in the Gorge,
and who could have been a more likely leader than a two year veteran of the
real thing? The Navy had to eat together every night, and if was tne one and
only time that the back hall of West side II ever bothered with such
togetherness. This is not to say we 'weren't tight-knit, just -that we didn't find
necessary to run in mobs like tne east side or west side. To return to the
Admira l , l can definitely say that no one has done as much for me as he has in
my stay at Behrend. If I were to do a favor a day for him, it would take me
years to catch up. I can also say, it is more fun to beat him in anything than
anyone else up here simply because his temper after a defeat is rivaled only
by my own. And I don't care what you say Admiral, last year's Hearts games
ended up even, and you were lucky to do that well!
Outside the door I could hear the old Navy's biggest discipline problem, the
Ensign, defending his "HaUbaiP' Championship. The "Redheaded Flagpole"
is West Side I I's veteran campaigner here at Behrend. He'd be a h§ck of a
guy if he'd spend less time on the phone with his "snake" so that the 223 Club
could carry on its business without interruption.

I don'l know why, but staring out
through snow makes it easier to recall
people and events. As the time to
leave Sehrend draws near, I find
myself thinking of friends and good
times I'm not anxious to leave behind.
I think of one of the all time poor beer
drinkers who's buying my half of the
223 Club for $4O, and how we simply
amaze each other. Or I think of
Bucknell's greatest fan and how
Delaware will ruin his anniversary
year after year. I think of cafeteria
discussions of the great Celtic teams
with a very punny guy (If the Hard
Core wins it 'cause you're staying. . .)
The horrors of my worst athletic effort
ever returns to haunt me, but instead I
find it erased by some of the most
hilarious road trips on record. I must
add, the coach who suffered through
that mediocrity has made more of an
impression on me than almost every
coach before him. I think of my "soul
man", who just loves "the old 21
play". I recall a spring term of
"beaching it" with .a frustrated
basketball and cards players. I have
to chuckle when I think of the guy who
must be plotting two water attacks
against me in the next eight days. Ah
yes, and then there are the wives, one
through four (soon hopefully to be
five), who have brought me such
warm memories (sigh).
. While l prepared to go to bed, I
thought of my. last eight days at
Behrend. I . would leave with no
regrets/but only with fond memories.
The snow continued to fall silently
outside my window as I reached up
and turned out the light.

Cubs Lose Ist;
Fredonia Here.
Friday Night
The Behrend roundballers
suffered their first setback, 100-81
in their opening game against
Allegheny Community College-
South Campus, last Saturday.
Gary Boroway led the way of
fensively with 26 points and 10
rebounds, Glen McKinney had 19
points and was named the
defensive standout for Behrend in
the game. Bob Hoffman dropped
in 13 points and Ron Kwasneski
tallied 10.
Commenting on the game
coach Malkin said, “I was en
couraged despite the score. We
were beaten in the first ten
minutes and then played them
even the remainder of the game.
I was satisfied with our pressing
defense which forced them into
quite a few turnovers.”
The halftime score was 51-33.
Coach Malkin attributed the
team’s poor start to a rash of
tumovers-24 overall and losing
under the boards.
The Cubs will have the
homecourt advantage Friday
night when they oppose the
Fredonia JV. Last night the Cubs
played Ashtabula-Kent. post
poned from last week. Ashtabula
defeated Behrend last year in
their opening game.
Lions Open Up
Winter Sports
Both Penn State’s basketball
and wrestling teams open their
1970-71 season this week. The
hoopsters, under the direction of
~ Coach John Bach, figured to be
going with a young team in their
opener against Bucknell in Rec
Hall, yesterday afternoon. There
were two, and possibly three
sophomores in the Lions starting
line-up. Penn State was 10-0 at
home last year, but sported a
horrendous 3-11 record on the
road. The wrestlers host Army on
Saturday. Coach Bill Koll's
charges were 11-0 last year, and
return 8 iettermen.

Angry University of Oregon

They filled the air with the
whirling plastic dishes. They
pointed to credits offered for

and fly-casting. University of
