Commies find hobby on CCC campus

Misprint Foreign Correspondent
Ten Russian students at the
College are currently disman
tling the security trailer and
converting it into an airplane,
said one security official.
The project stemmed from
one student’s desire to conduct:
security measures above
ground. His idea was well
received by security officials last
Friday when an impromptu
security meeting was held.
The high-flying Russians feel
that aerial security would be

more effective in dealing with
campus protests, and basic
disruption. All 10 students
have served in two wars, and
.have received special kamikazi
training after a specil war
simulation, held in Japan last
month.
The plane will be patterned
after the Russian “Yak” which
flew in World War 1. To date,
the students have the plane
about half completed. The
Russians, however, ran out of
trailer parts two days ago while
working on the tail section of
the plane. The students later
requested to use metal from
the campus security cars, but
were refused.
“We really need the cars no
matter what their plans are..
They might want to‘fly around
all day, but we plan to stay on
the ground,“ said one security
worker.
Later in the week, the
students plan to visit the
automotive department to
request scrap metal from as
many cars and trucks as
possible.
snails creep into menu
By Explaina Canell
Of The Misprint
Great strides have been
made, for the Spring term, in
culturally orienting
college
students, as tar as their eating
habits are concerned, accor
ding to Lester Frederick, recen
tly appointed ecologist and
dietician for the College.
Among the changes and ad
ditions that have resulted from
Frederick’s presence on cam
pus is the introduction of
escargot to the daily cafeteria
menu.
“These little escargot that will
be served are not imported
creatures,” he said. “They are
young and fresh, because they
are gathered every morning
from the Environmental Lear
ning Center.”
“This will save expense for
the center, because it will
eliminate snail bait costs, once
used when the creatures were
viewed as pests instead of a
rare delicacy.” “Local snails are
very superior for consumption
purposes, because you don’t
know what is in the store-
bought ones,” he added.
Methods
of
preparing
escargot are virtually limitless,
according to Frederick, but in
spite of this, cafeteria officials
have only one use in mind—a
tender and flavorful addition to
the salad bar menu.

Famous humorist and actor
Woody Allen was on campus
last week conducting a

Allen’s appearance is the first
in a series of one cultural event
to be held throughout the year
at the College, sponsored by
“Nobody’s Records,” which in-

the albums to be sold is simply
called “The Dictators.” Al

which appears on Page 11.
