    Above is pictured one of our
students trapped in one of the
holes typical of the eroded
ro=d leading to our campus.
His car ig completely im
mobilized, thus causing his
tardiness to Economics class,
along vith the other unfortunate
students who are also held up
behind him. Due to its awkward
position on the road, his car
becomes easy prey for anyone
coming from either direction.
In addition, this hole, and many
more, continually slice away
at tires. Although this
situation is great for the tire
industry, it hits the students
and instructors T,r here it hurts.
Nobody seems to know why this
poor example of highway con
struction exists, but every
one agrees tha t it does. We
have built two beautiful park
ing lots which have paid
for try the students through
parking fees, (see article
"Students want to know"section
one), because the State feels

fan
that students should pay for
privileged activities, and, for
some reason, driving to a
commuting college is considered
a privilege.
Tf driving to school is ° priv
ilege then, maybe, we should
pay for all the roads * r e use in
commuting to Highacres. Of course
this is out of the question,
but the question is this!
Who should pay for the repair
of this so-called road? Obviously
the state isn't going to. Are
the students going to have to
pay for this too, out of pockets
already draintd to their limits,
or should the campus, itself use
its resourses to alleviate
this situation?
There has been no word from any
one, official os? unofficial, that
any action is being considered
or- has already been initiated to
rectify this hazardous eye sore
of our otherwise beautiful
grounds. However, if there should
be any, someone should let the
students know about it.
