The Highacres Collegian, November 10, 1975 ” 2 The Final Hour The time is upon us once again when students through out Highacres will be suffer ing from what is commonly known as mental hernia. The causi tive agent: final exams. During final exam period, it is not unusual to hear of stu dents who have pulled all nighters and other feats which are both physically and mental ly strenuous. But why do they punish their bodies in this way? Can a grade be all that important? Students who may be suffer ing from mental hernia should follow this prescription: Re evaluate the standards you set for yourself concerning grades. Maybe you'll recall that col lege is a place of learning, not a place where one goes to all extremes while chasing grades like gold rings on a merry-go-round.

Rick Shema. Editor! To my horrors one day, I noticed posters nailed to the trees on campus. Four inch' spikes stabbed into their hearts. Pulling them out won’t help, it will only create an easy access for bugs to crawl inside and kill the tree. So please don't nail your posters into the trees for the tree is our friend, and if you see any one pounding a nail into our trees remind them that a tree sacrificed its life for that paper their sign is made of. Editor! Mine workers strike, teach ers strike, garbage collectors strike and even doctors strike. Why? Because they are demand ing notice! each social cate gory wants society to realize the importance of their func tions within society. !/-]H ; ■■'WiP Just what would men do with out us? We also are the bread winners, politicians, and de cision-makers of our society. No longer will we be content to be hung from a pedestal and taken for granted. We are striving for equality. Not only equal pay for equal jobs and the opportunity to get them, but to be considered as an equal human being. I don't want doors opened for me be cause I am a woman, but because lam a person. I don't want a male to look at me as a pros pective wife, bed-warmer, or cook. I want him to see a whole, independent, content human being. We are an integral, part of this society and it is time for us to stand up and be heard. Men, the days of submissiveness are. over. Your slaves are re belling. P.

When NOW (National Orginazation of Women) called for a nation-wide strike of women on October 29, it was considered ridiculous, a blow to femininity. There is no reason why the largest, most .suppressed, abused group 1 of our nation should not call attention to itself and its cause. Women are the cheapest slave labor on the marketj no wonder males want to hold us down. Diane Zell
