Newspaper Page TextPage 2 P O S T S C R I P T January 5, 1973 Editorial — Changes Needed At Paul Smith’s College As another winter settles on the campus of Paul Smith’s College, the ice also seems to settle. Have you ever tried to walk down your dorm steps lately or how about the steps of the classroom build ings? Or better yet, when was the last time you slid down the back steps of the Administration Build ing. If you had skis on you could probably navigate these stairs bet ter than walking. Also, if a tow rope is constructed, you could easily be towed up this icy slope. If the school put sidewalks in, why aren’t they kept clear? It’s understandable that a large accu mulation of snow is a problem, but how about the ice? A little sand wouldn’t hurt, would it? It might also save a few students or faculty from possible bone-breaking falls. Has anyone glanced at a menu in a cafeteria lately? If you haven’t I can easily tell you what you’ll have almost every night for sup per. POTATOES! We’ve had broil ed, boiled, mashed, french fried, scalloped and many other exotic varieties. True, they are starchy and fill you up (and out), but doesn’t the same thing get awfully tiring? Can’t the people in charge do a little research and find some substitutes? After all, we here at Paul Smith’s don’t want to cause a countrywide potato shortage by devouring them all! It has been said that there wouldn’t be sufficient support by the student body to make an ice rink on the quad feasible. Who and by what conclusion can this opin ion be. expressed? Were the stu dents polled or how was this idea derived? The Hockey Club was given $500. by the Student Council to purchase ice time at the Lake Placid Arena rink. If an outside rink was constructed, couldn’t some of this money be saved? It could possibly be used for the construction and then all could benefit. True, ice time would still have to be bought for games, but for intramural practice and inter team scrimmages an outside rink would be good since once the snow starts, there’s no skating on the lake. I’m positive the students would use this facility. In fact, last year, the snow on the quad melted and then froze. Many students could be seen skating on this “natural rink.” Many groups have offered their services in making this possible. It couldn’t be too expensive for the school to make. This could also relieve the hockey playing in the halls of the dor mitories. I ask the administration to reconsider this on behalf of the skating students. Parents Serve Lifetime Term; Ann Landers The following column by Ann Landers appeared in the Syracuse Herald-American November 12, 1972. The Post Script welcomes any comments you wish to make about the column. DEAR ANN LANDERS: The enclosed appeared in our neighbor hood paper. I hope you can find space for it in your column. In my opinion this deserves a nationwide coverage. — A Summit, N. J. Reader. DEAR READER: Here it is: Judge Alfonso Sepe, in sentenc ing a 17-year-old Florida boy to one year in jail after he pleaded guilty to possessing hallucinogenic drugs and was charged with viol ence toward a Miami Beach police officer, offered these words when he pronounced the sentence: “ Do you know who is going to serve your sentence? You will serve the year, but your mother and father will serve a lifetime. Why? Because you are a selfish, spoiled boy. There is no punish ment in the world I could impose on you that could compensate for what you are doing to your mother and father. I have not spent five cents raising you. I don’t know you from Adam. But your parents have put their lives, their hearts, their sweat and money into bringing you up. And now they have to sit in a courtroom and watch a stranger put you in jail. “This is at a time when phony kids are yelling, ‘You adults have your alcohol. We want our drugs. You have polluted our water and our air! You have polluted this and that —’ and the rest of the garbage that comes out of your mouths. “If you are sick a doctor will treat you. He won’t be strung out on drugs. The lawyer who repres ents you won't be tripping on LSD. Your astronauts are not on drugs. Your President is not on drugs. The men who fly the planes and drive the buses and build the cars are not on drugs. Neither were the construction workers who built the bathrooms that you stink up with your rotten, lousy drugs. “But in the world of the future, this may not be true. Teachers, doctors, lawyers, legislators, pro ducts of the new generation, may well be high as kites. You won’t know whom to send your child to or whom to trust your life to. “Let’s see what kind of world YOU leave to your children be fore you talk about the world we left to ours.” Philosophy of Death Several weeks ago a student of Paul Smith’s ended his life. There then appeared in this newspaper a composition submitted by several of his friends. This composition dealt with the opinion that this boy had ended his life because he could not face up to reality and (Continued on page 4) Searching For A Path To Follow by Jeffry Walker My mind is much more fuzzy than it usually is. Somewhere, deep in its inner recesser, some strange things are occuring and some of the weirdest thoughts are stirring. Then, slowly coming into focus, I see a group of people dressed in very formal attire. A chorus, per haps. They stand tall and straight, while suspended on a wall high above them is a banner, which they seem to be either in awe of, or to fear. One single chant arises from their collective throats. In a monotone they chorus, “Beacuse that’s the way we’ve always done it.” No inflections, no emotion. In the course of pursuing my glorious studies, I have come across required subjects that leave me with only one thought in mind, “Why do I have to take this?” It seems that most of the people on campus have had the same thought, “Why,” I wonder, “as a Hotel student, do I have to take such relevant courses to my pro fessional goal as general geo graphy and geology. To be able to determine at what period the rocks under my hotel were form ed? Why are Forestry students subjected to such goodies as his tory if they are more interested in the natural sciences?” Surely, by the time we got to college, we had all hoped that the days of takng required courses were gone. I thought I would finally be free to pursue my interests. But no, I am too young to decide what is best for me; I must get a “well-round ed” education even if I must fail (Continued on page 3) J o g t S c r i p t Vol. 25, No. 3 PAUL SMITH’S COLLEGE January 5, 1973 _____________ Paul Smiths, N.Y. 12970 ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Carl Zeockleln on«ilf im u ................ ............. ........................... - Robert Plracci w u ---------------------------------------------------- Barry Johnston Featuie W r iters ----------------------John Hofforth, Richard Kempter Photographer ................................................ .
