\We
deserve
a
kick
in
the
head,
but
not
this.”
While
these
five
students
were
thrown
out
of
college,
we
have
a
number
of
undesirables
roaming
the
campus.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
there
were
a
number
of
thefts
from
cars
and
rooms,
and
to
top
it
off,
the
thief
would
open
some
mail
in
his
search
for
money
which,
by
the
way,
is
a
federal
offense.
Twice
this
person
thought
to
be
the
thief-at-large
has
been
known
to
use
a
deadly
weapon.
In
one
case,
the
thief
entered
a
student’s
room
and
started
to
make
off
with
some
untraceable
merchandise
val
ued
at
$1,200.00.
When
the
owner
caught
the
thief
in
his
room,
the
thief
produced
his
weapon.
A
mem
ber
of
the
faculty
saw
the
thief
with
the
weapon
and
asked
him
what
was
going
on.
The
thief
gave
the
faculty
member
some
feeble
excuse
and
left
the
dumbfounded
owner
of
the
merchandise
$1,200.00
poorer
and
himself
$1,200.00
richer.
Another
time
this
dangerous
per
son
held
an
entire
top
dorm
floor
at
weapon-point.
Some
students
luckily
slipped
out
of
the
dorm
and
brought
back
a
member
of
the
ad
ministration.
The
person
dealt
with
the
situation
at
hand
and
turned
it
over
to
those
higher
than
himself.
There
it
seemed
like
everything
that
had
gone
on
before
was
wasted.
The
occurrence
was
practically
dropped.
Still
another
time
some
students
were
caught
using
some
illegal
intoxicants.
A
member
of
the
ad
ministration
walked
into
a
room
where
he
found
a
handful
of
stu
dents
smoking
marijuana.
That
wasn’t
bad
enough,
for
lying
on
the
bed
was
quite
a
sum
of
mari
juana.
In
the
first
case
with
the
thief
nothing
happened
in
the
form
of
punishment.
In
the
second
case
the
punishment
was
strict
probat
ion.
In
view
of
the
lack
of
severity
of
the
punishment,
the
first
case
must
have
gone
unreported
be
cause
it
seems
that
anyone
in
his
right
mind
would
not
have
let
this
pass
so
easily.
In
the
case
of
the
drugs,
the
punishment
was
strict
probation.
Why
is
it
that
dangerous
people
and
drug
abusers
are
allowed
to
roam
the
campus
at
will
under
the
force
of
strict
probation
while
the
five
people
who
walked
through
an
unlocked
door
were
charged
with
breaking
and
entering
and
were
expelled
from
school?
I
would
feel
a
lot
better
if
the
situation
were
reversed,
with
the
dangerous
people
and
the
drug
abusers
out
and
the
five
students
put
on
strict
probation.
And
what
is
to
happen
to
the
person
who
continues
to
leave
the
door
unlocked?
The
matter
is
now
out
of
the
hands
of
the
puppet
student
coun
cil.
That
leaves
a
change
for
only
one
group
of
people.
I
am
appeal
ing
to
these
people,
the
administra
tion,
to
search
this
out
and
try
to
save
Paul
Smith’s
College
from
drowning
in
the
pool
of
tradition
it
has
been
floundering
in
for
years.

What
Is
A
Life?
by
Gary
Stephens
Most
people
do
not
know
how
valuable
life
is.
It
takes
a
person
al
tragedy,
one
that
reflects
direct
ly
back
on
us,
instead
of
one
that
you
read,
about
someone
you
don’t
even
know,
to
show
us
how
im-
important
the
gift
that
God
has
bestowed
upon
us
is.
A
man
some
of
us
did
or
didn’t
know
has
taken
his
own
life
for
reasons
that
only
he
truely
under
stood.
We
tried
to
help,
to
under
stand
what
drove
him
to
the
edge,
but
we
failed.
We
are
the
ones
who
are
hurt,
crying
out
for
the
an
swers
to
the
question,
why?
Why
is
life
so
cruel
that
it
causes
a
friend
to
end
his
life?
Maybe
we
will
never
know,
but
we
will
re
member.
We’ll
think
about
it
and
over
and
over
again
we
will
seek
the
answers
to
satisfy
our
con
sciences.
If
nothing
else,
it
will
make
us
stop
and
think
and
wonder.
Won
der
why
it
happened
and
how,
even
though
we
tried,
we
couldn’t
help.
We
pray
that
for
whatever
his
reasons,
he
finally
found
the
peace
he
sought
but
in
this
life
couldn’t
find.
We
ask
that
he
not
be
judged
a
coward
for
running
away
from
life,
but
as
a
human
being
who
was
thrown
into
a
sit
uation
that
should
never
have
oc
curred.
This
tragedy
should
never
have
happened
and
maybe
some
day
we
won’t
have
to
worry
about
it
again,
but
for
now
we
have
to
accept
it,
for
the
world
we
live
in
is
not
perfect.
This
is
what
throws
some
of
us
in
the
wrong
direction,
leaving
us
with
a
hard
decision
which
some
of
us,
Greg
for
one,
can’t
face.
In
the
end
we
lose
.

sincerity
by
his
very
close
and
dear
friends.)

^
The
Pest
Script
is
inaugurating
a
new
feature
with
this
issue,
a
series
of
interviews
with
PSC
stu
dents
from
other
countries
so
a
better
understanding
can
be
ach
ieved
between
them
and
the
PSC
community.
The
first
interview,
conducted
by
Bob
Piracci,
was
with
Estifamos
Gonite.
Estifamos
is
a
foreign
student
at
PSC
from
Addis
Ababa,
Ethi
opia.
He
is
enrolled
in
the
college’s
pre-professional
hotel
manage
ment
course,
and
he
would
like
to
go
on
to
Cornell
University's
hotel
management
program
for
his
A.B.
He
arrived
from
Ethiopia
at
Ken
nedy
airport
on
September
10,
then
flew
up
to
the
Saranac
airport.
His
impressions
of
the
U.S.
are
that
it’s
very
populous,
has
many
tall
brick,
stone
and
cement
build
ings,
and
smooth
roads,
all
of
which
are
unlike
Ethiopia.
He
has
found
the
people
he
has
met
in
the
U.S.
very
friendly
and
cour
teous.
He
has
seen
nothing
that
he
dislikes
about
America
and
espec
ially
enjoys
the
availability
of
more
and
different
varieties
of
food
and
material
goods.
The
main
difference
he
noted
be^
tween
the
U.S.
and
Ethiopia
is
the
sports
of
soccer
and
football
which
are
played
quite
differently.
He
also
noted
that
the
scenery
is
quite
different
than
that
of
his
native
country
and
that
there
is
one
set
of
customs
and
only
one
language
here
while
in
Ethiopia
there
are
