Competition is getting fiesty in intramural basketball. Must be March Madness. Speaking of sports, plenty of people are getting excited about the up and coming major league baseball season, it’s just too bad the average Joe can’t afford to buy a ticket. Who can we thank? The agents, or Bonilla, Saneburg, and Clemens themselves. The S.G.A. elections were held recently. We know who won, but we don’t know by how much or how many people voted, because ex-officio President, Steve Zappacosta, won’t release the numbers. How democratic. Maybe that’s what you get when you put a business major in office. Can you believe the state representatives are pulling with this car leasing program? I can’t believe we, the Pennsylvania taxpayers, pay for a majority of the lease, 95% of the insurance, repairs, and upkeep. I guess success does come before work somewhere other than in the dictionary. Opinions Complaints By: Nancy Costa What happened to the water? Upon my return to the Hazleton Campus this semester, I have noticed that taking a shower just is not the same. The water smells like the over chlorinated water in the swimming pool, and it tastes about as wonderful as it, too. For what we were paying to go here, I simply cannot afford to but my own bottled water. Even if I did have the extra money, I would not spend it! Silly me, I just assumed that the price of room and board included healthy-tasting water. Instead of saving my pennies for the bottled water, my spare change is saved for the sickly dryers in the South Hall laundry room. Ever since the beginning of my first semester here, I have had to pour $l.OO worth of quarters into one dryer to dry one average size load of clothes. This is just a tad bit ridiculous. Instead, I have been reduced to drying what I can for .50 cents and just hanging my jeans up from the curtain rod back in my room. A lovely sight for passersby, lam sure. Would not it be a spectacular sight for visitors to see students sprawled Okay, I’m thinking Warren Commission,... Magic Bullet theory,... Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas.... Figure out what I’m getting at? Right! Arlen Specter’s re-election chances! Looks like our long-time U.S. Senator is in an uphill (no pun intended) battle. Attentions students heading to University Park next fall. I heard tuition is increasing again. Is Jane’s Addiction, or should I say, was Jane’s Addiction, one of the most intense bands? Speaking of good groups, Tribe Called Quest is excellent. Is family the most underrated aspect of life? If you ever sit and talk about the "old" days with someone over forty, all you will hear about is how much more families did together. Could be a big reason (along with corrupt government) that America is in the shape it’s in. And I was talking to Greg Richman the other day, and he says he is "bent", about the fact that Heather Dean has blue shoes and he doesn’t.

The white stuff that is put down on the sidewalks after it snows, and I am not talking salt here, is really slippery, and" one time too many has this already happened to me. Luckily, I only suffered a bad bruise and a headache. I don’t have the time to take away from my studies for a lawsuit. One of my last complaints, is the need for paper towels or hand dryers and handsoap in the women’s bathrooms in South Hall. I do not know about everyone else, but I certainly do not keep a bar of soap and a hand towel in my pocket everywhere I go. How much more could it cost the University for some soap and paper towels? It is not just me with this complaint, I have heard parents complain about not being able to really wash their hands after using the bathroom. Next thing you know, we will have to bring along our own toilet paper. Last, but certainly not least, is the air-conditioning problem in the Kostos Building.
