Ski Festivity by Jim Higgins Still undecided about your plans for the semester break? Well, look no fur- ther. The “Get Away Winter Adven- ture’’ is coming to sweep you away to the mountains of New York State for an outrageous weekend of skiing festivities. Organized by Theresa Czyzewski and sponsored by Adventure Unlimited, the date is set for the weekend of January 3-5, 1985, and the trip includes some very attractive features: roundtrip transportation, 2 nights accommoda- tions, free equipment rental, and last but not least, all the food and partying arrangements available that college students could possibly expect. The trip has attracted a number of other Penn State Commonwealth Cam- puses to join in the affair, so rest assured that there will be plenty of op- portunity for meeting a number of other Penn Staters. As Bill Labrum, freshman Student Government representative put it, “This should be a great opportunity for all Penn State students to get to know one another.” This trip promises everything you need to celebrate the Holidays and the end of the first semester, so take the ad- vice from a seasoned professional in ski weekend entertainment and Adventure Unlimited personnel coordinator, Mark Subers, “Pack plenty of warm clothes, tune up the skis, think snow, and get ready for an outrageously good time.” You can expect to look forward to a weekend full of guaranteed excitement and a few unexpected surprises. George Takes Up Golf My wife said to me, “George, it is about time you learned to play golf, you know, golf, that’s the game where you chase a ball all over the country when you are too old to chase women.” So I went to see Jones and asked him if he would teach me how to play. He said, ‘“‘Sure, you've got balls haven’t you?” I said, “Yes, but sometimes hard to find on cold mornings.” ‘Bring them to the clubhouse tomorrow and we will tee off,” he said. “What's tee off?’’ I ask- ed. He said, “It’s a golf term and we have to tee off in front of the clubhouse.” “Not for me,” I said, “You can tee off there if you want to, but I'll tee off behind the barn somewhere.” “No, No!” he said, ‘‘a tee is a little thing about the size of your little finger.” “Yeah, I've got one of those things.” “Well,” he said, ““ you stick it in the ground and put your ball on top of it.”’ I asked, ‘Do you play golf sitting down? I always thought you stood up and walk- ed around.” “You do,” he said, “You're standing up when you put your ball on the tee.” Well, folks, I thought that was stretching things a little too far, and I said so. . ; He said, “You hit the ball with your club and it will soar and soar.” I could well imagine. Then he said, “And when you're on the green . . .” “What's the green?”’ I asked. ‘““That’s where the hole is,” he said. ‘‘Sure you're not color blind?”’ I asked. “No, then you take out your putter.” “What's that?’ I asked. “That’s the smallest club made,” he said. ‘““That’s what I've got, a putter,” 1 said. “And with it you put your ball in the hole,” he said. I corrected, ‘“You mean the putter?’ He said, ‘The hole isn’t big enough for the ball and the put- ter.” Well, I’ve seen holes big enough for a horse and buggy. Then he said, ‘‘ After you make the first hole, you go on to the next seventeen.” He wasn’t talking to me. After two holes, I'm shot to hell. I asked him, “How do I know when I've finished all eighteen holes?’’ He replied, “The flag would go up.” WOULD BE MY LUCK!!! . THAT JUSTFORTHEFUNUFIT — The Lion ’s Mouth — Dear Lion: I’m a student on the Dean’s List, hold two jobs, and am a very responsible 19-year-old. My parents are very under- standing when. it comes to grades. However, when the time comes for me to make important decisions, they think they should make up my mind. I love them very much and respect their con- cerns, but I want a chance to make my own mistakes. I don’t want to end up hating them or having them hate me. It seems that if I try to live my own life, then that is what will happen. What should I do? Signed . . . Frustrated Dear Frustrated: Try to talk to them. Tell them that you appreciate their views: apologize for any past stupid actions (every bit of butter- ing up can only help); compromise on some positions (if they feel that they won on some points, they may let you win on others); then it comes time to make your decision. You can then — if _you feel that you've tried all else — make your stand. If you feel that you're strong enough and mature enough to go out on your own, do it! If not, you must abide by their rules while you live in their house. Just remember, this “stand’’ may cause a lot of problems in your family. It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth the risk. Dear Lion: I'm working more hours than I want to or expected to. I enjoy the job and don’t want to let the people down at work. However, I see no alternative. I don’t have enough time for school, work, | AND a personal life. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'm ready to give anything up. What should I do? Signed . . . Work- ing on Borrowed Time : Dear Working: Talk to the people you work with. In most cases, if they really like you and are not using you, they’ll make provi- sions. You have to set your priorities. If school is your biggest priority, set 3 days to school work ONLY, 3 days to work, and maybe 1 to play. If not, you'll have to give up something whether you like it or not. Unfortunately there still are only 24 hours in one day. You have to determine how to make the most of ‘reveal their sexual preference, and being them.

Dear Lion: I went out with someone the other night and they made advances that I didn’t expect because I thought we were just friends. This may seem a common problem, but this one has quite a twist. See, my friend and I are the same sex. We've been very close friends and I never had even the slightest idea. Now not only is our friendship on the line; so’s my reputation. My friend wants to their best friend, I would end up the “partner.” I am not a homosexual and don’t want to be considered one. I still am very close to my friend, but I don’t want to be too close, if you know what I mean. I purposely did not make clear whether my friend is a male or female since this may have happened to some- one else. What should I do? Signed .. .J In a compromising position Dear In: If you're such close friends, then what others say should not affect you. Sure, no one wants the reputation of “gay” if you're straight, but if you are well known and have a companion of the op- posite sex (I can’t say whether it would be a boyfriend or a girlfriend since you did not indicate your sex) you should have nothing to worry about. (It might help your case to find one, though, if you do not have one.) The person you should worry about is your friend. Evaluate your friendship and if it’s important enough to you to save it, let your friend go out with whomever he/she wants to. Just be sure to make it clear that you're not interested. Remember, a good friendship should be more important than vicious gossip. Just get yourself a mate and those rumors should be silenc- e P.S. Now if you write back and ask how to pick up a mate, you're just going to have to use your God-given instincts.
