CPS A four-day sit-in
convinced St. Cloud State
University officials to stop
selling Penthouse, Playboy and
Playgirl magazines at the campus
bookstore.
Students and faculty members
voted to ban the sale the last
week of January as members of
two groups--the Women's
Equality Group and Women for
Social Justice--protested for four
days at the campus student
center's newsstand, calling the
magazines degrading to.wOmen.
Similarly, the newsstand at
Michigan Tech's Memorial
Union stopped selling the
magazines. after renovations on
the building were finished last
fall.
The University Co-op at the
University of Texas, however,
resumed selling the sex
magazines in September after the
co-op, fearing children and
teenagers who attended various
camps on campus during the
summer might see the
publications, voted to ban them
in June.
Moreovei, only 14 people
showed up at an October hearing
to decide to stop selling the
magazines at the University of

A "social communication
high" is achieved through
personal communication and
connection between two, people.
In this instance one picks up on
another's excitement and energy.
Social communication is an
extremely powerful _ high, tied
closely with an emotional high.
An "emotional high" can be
associated with the excitement of
falling in love and finding
someone to really communicate
with and share ourselves,
explained Weiner. There are also
negative emotions where there is
a physical release of anger. The
high in a negative emotion is
found afterwards with the
sensation of being fully relaxed.
Finally, a "spiritual high" is,
not necessarily religious. It is the
sense of universal energy we tap
into to locate the spirit inside of
us. It is also the process of going
inside of oneself and feeling the
actual - core of who we are. The
spiritual high cannot be neglected
and must be attended to.
It is important to have a
balance maintained while
experiencing these highs. As

The presidents of six Catholic
colleges last fall issued
statements denouncing Playboy's
plans to ask their female students
to pose unclothed for the
magazine.
Boston College President
Rev. J. Donald Monan called
Playboy "symbolic of the

And in November, Dartmouth

the college's view that many on
campus find the magazine
demeaning," said spokesman
Alex HupL)e. "At a time when - we
are actively trying to recruit
women, we felt we could not

Here at Behrend, Robert Mac

afterwards, he became the
SNCC's communications
director.
Bond left Morehouse one
semester short of graduation in
1961 to jciin the staff of a new
weekly newspaper, "The Atlanta
Inquirer." He later became the
paper's managing editor. Bond
returned to Morehouse in 1971
and graduated with a bachelor of
arts degree in English.
Bond was first elected in 1965
to a one-year term in the Georgia
House of Representatives in an
election following a court-ordered
re-apportionment of the
legislature. But members of the
House voted not to seat him
because of his outspoken
opposition to the Vietnam War.
- Bond went on to win a second
election in 1966, and again the
Georgia House voted to bar him
from membership. _He won a
third election, this time for a
two-year term, in November
1966, and in December, the
United States Supreme Court
ruled unanimously that the
Georgia House had violated
Bond's rights in refusing him his
seat.
He was elected to the State
Senate in 1974. When he left the
office in January 1987, Bond had
