Page 4 THE LION'S EYE May 10, 1971 One Man's View Earth Day: A Dump In by Ken Helm Earth Day crowds gathered at Belmont Plateau on Sunday, April 18th, not to help stop pol- ‘lution or even try to learn some- thing about it, but instead they came to dump whatever garbage they could all over the park. An estimated 40,000 people showed up for Earth Day. I won- der how many orange drink car- tons, bottles, pieces of paper, .and other assorted pieces of trash were left behind. It really scares me to think that the people who attended Earth Day are the same people who are going to have to solve the pollution problem we all face. FIRE STARTED At one point in the day, a fire was even started. Luckily it was put out before it had a chance to get out of control. In spite of the lack of en- thusiasm concerning Earth Day everybody seemed to be having a good time. The smell of grass burning was unescapeable and by the number of empty wine bottles I noticed lying around it would be safe to say that quite a few gallons of wine were consumed. The weather was sunny and warm. Everybody was sitting on the ground soaking up the beau- tiful sunshine in hopes of start- ing a suntan. ATMOSPHERE RESTLESS The atmosphere was easy go- ~—ing but perhaps a bit restless, for there were two conflicting groups of people. First were the people who were sitting and lying on the ground trying to enjoy the whole thing. Then there were the peo- ple who were wandering around stepping over and sometimes on the people on the ground. Space was at a premium and things be- came a little close. The highlight of the day was a free concert by Seatrain. They put on a fairly enjoyable show except they weren't very audible at distances over 100 yards, un- less the wind was blowing in your direction. Some other live acts appeared other than Seatrain but T couldn’t hear them at all. Personally I was disappointed in the entire day. The concept of Earth Day was buried with grass, wine, and music. (Continued from Page 1) Campus has been answering that call for the past four years and has had groups of students work- ing at the camp for three week- ends out of the Spring term. “This year we figured that since we were going there we'd plan an overnight trip. We brought along some movies and the students chipped in for food,” said Linder. : He said that the students brought their own personal ar- ticles and that all tools were pro- vided by the camp.

THE TRASH DOWN HERE IS PRETTY BAD! Sports ‘Eggs’ Benedict: Bruins in Ruins by Joe Contino On Sunday, April 18, two un- precedented events occurred in the Boston Garden. Lawrence “Eggs” Benedict, a Boston fan who supposedly launches 90 percent of the eggs which splatter on the ice during a Bruins game, failed to hit his target. ! And . . . the Boston Bruins lost a hockey game to the Montreal Canadiens, a loss which elim- inated them from the opening round of the Stanley Cup Play- offs. “Eggs” was not the only one in the Boston Garden who was off target. ‘THIEVING GIRAFFE’ The Bruins’ cannons, especial- ly Phil Esposito, a 76-goal scorer during the regular season, were dormant. And, Ken Dryden, Ca- nadiens’ 6’4” 210-1b. goalie and part time law student, was as spectacular, as he had been since the first game of the series. Dryden continually frustrated the Bruin gunners, at one point - causing Esposito to shatter his stick on the glass and bellow, “You thieving giraffe!” Frustration was the weapon PLANNED PARENTHOOD Kl 6-8888 a public service announcement THINK YOU'RE PREGNANT?

Financial aid available. Montreal employed from the opening face-off. The tenacious forechecking of veteran Habs Henri Richard and Jean Beliveau never allowed the Bruins to play the wide open style of hockey in which they excel. But Canadiens accomplished the one thing which brought the Stanley Cup much closer to Mon- treal — they stopped Bobby Orr. Orr was constantly hounded by two forecheckers and Canadien defense virtually made it impos- sible for Orr to carry the puck over the blue line. “Stop Orr,” said Canadien John Ferguson, “and you stop the Bruins. It’s that simple.” However, it wasn’t that simple. Eliminating Boston called for a tremendous Montreal effort, and the Canadiens responded. They never stopped skating or hitting or checking or scoring. They completely out-muscled Boston in each of their four victories. If Montreal skates half as well as it did against Boston in their remaining playoff games, a Ca- nadien team will be sipping cham- pagne from the Stanley Cup for a record fifteenth time. CLERGY CONSULTATION SERVICE WA 3-5141 Ready, Aim... .. by Cecile Keltz Up in the sky it's a bird, it’s a plane, it’s it’s ohh! It’s only the girls playing Robin Hood with their bows and arrows. The girls are participating in a new Phys. Ed. program called archery; however, the girls would like to call it misery. The course is five weeks long and its purpose is to teach the fundamentals of archery. The instructor, Daniel Doran, Phys. Ed. instructor, uses a pro- gressive methods for advancement in the class. “We start at ten yards and try to add another ten yards during each class. This has been our third week and so far we've re- mained at ten yards. We are try- ing to reach forty; however, I'm sure a lot of the girls need a few more lessons before they ad- vance. It's a matter of time and patience.” MIXED EMOTIONS “The new class was received with mixed emotions from aspir- ing archers. “I don’t mind the class. that much,” said journalism sopho- more Marianne Wawraszko, “it’s getting up for first period and coming out into the cold that bothers me.” “What do we need archery for?” asked Mary Anne Reagan. Journalism sophomore Terry Fisher said she likes archery but hates getting cut by her bow string and arrows. Eon mt Saving’s Fun(d) by Cecile Keltz Are you being squeezed to death by your pocketbook? Has money burned a hole in your faded jeans? Then you're using money the wrong way. You can enjoy yourself with- out going into debt by using a little willpower and a lot of money from your rich uncle who just left you his estate. MONEY SPENT First, throw away your book on “How to Save Money Without Really Trying”; the money you spent could have been used for something you really needed. Stop going to John Wana- maker’s and Jackson and Moyer for your wardrobe. There are stores which may not have the same brand name but carry the same style for half the price. Don’t buy anything you don’t need. That is easier said than done, but it can be done. Stop wasting money on the shiniest car parts, once used sports equip- ment, and two-toned suede shoes. CHECK PAPERS A tennis racket is great, but for $40? The idea is to save, not to spend. Check your Tuesday ‘night shopping section in the news- paper. Most of the stores stay open Jate on Wednesday night and usually have more bargains than on the weekends. Remember a penny saved is a bargain earned. Stop eating out! A pound of hamburger and lunch meat goes much further than a Gino’s Giant. Brown bag it. You'd be surprised how much money you waste on snacks and stale hoagies. BUY SPECIALS Buy the store’s specials. Penn Fruit sodas sell 12 cans for 89c. Buy the lesser name brand. Nine out of ten times you're buying the same thing but at a lesser price. Compare Bryer’s ice cream — $1.20 for a half gallon — to Dales ice cream which sells for 89c a half gallon. Gifts such as candles, flowers, T-shirts and jeans are less expen- sive and popular. Everyone likes T-shirts. Use cash whenever you can. Burn your charge cards; they are your worst enemies. Keep loose change out of sight — like in a bank. ; Saving is not a nasty word; it can take you from rags to riches. Softhall Teams Formed to Compete by Tom Osiecki Anyone who wants to hear the crack of a bat, catch a whistling grounder, or slide into home plate can join the softball league or- ganized by Physical Education Instructor Robert Spickler. ~ Games are played on Mon- days, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 2:45 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. at “Corn Field,” the area in back of the building. Teams consist of nine players plus a roving out- fielder and are coed. Among the teams already signed up are the Grogs, organ- ized by journalism major Cecile Keltz, whose softball team at last year’s Spring picnic dealt the ROTC team a crushing defeat. The faculty promised to come up with a team — also coed — which will play in all the regu- larly scheduled games. The faculty team has games scheduled on May 7 and May 14.
