,----------- — Analysis—---------- Wilma and Fred corrupt youth DR. Michael C. Koller Professor of Mental Health at Warped Tech “Come on, Ricky, it’s time for the Flintstones!” little Billy shouted happily. “All right, my favorite daytime television program,” Ricky answered intelligently. This scene takes place through thousands of Portland area homes each afternoon at 4 p.m. as naive school children turn on their sets to a half-hour of blatant lies and misrepresen tations about life in general. Parents must be made aware of the gross injustice the Flin arrangements how could tstones inflict upon our youth Wilma possibly be pregnant? The effect of this on children each afternoon. The networks must be stopped from showing Watching could be disastrous. They are being given a distor such a scandalous program. In a recent program, Fred ted picture of the birds and the becomes ecstatic with joy when bees, something that should be he finds out beloved Wilma is explained by able parents and not an unrealistic cartoon. pregnant with her first child. In another episode after What’s wrong with that? Nothing in itself. But if you Wilma has hack Pebbles, her notice carefully, Fred arid daughter, Pebbles and Bam- Bam, Barney and Betty’s Wilma sleep in different beds at super human son, become night. With such stepping rock stars, able to play in struments and sing at only three months old. Impossible in the first place and possible dangerous to children wiewing who decide they can. play their big brother’s electric guitar and wind up electrocuting them- ,selves. Other scenes show Bam- Bam lifting his father, Barney, above his head and Bam-Bam smashing him to the ground. This is a protrayal of disrespect of authority and a child wat ching might try to pick up his father or mother and end up crushed to death in the process. With these solid examples given the Flintstones should not be on the air. I hope you will join me in the crucial struggle to save4elevision from the atrocities that will occur from such dishonest programs if they are allowed to be shown to our already semi-corrupt youth.

Misprint Foreign Correspondent Feeling sluggish? Snails creep into menu By Explains 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.

After completion, the Russians have planned a Editor’s note: Hair ap* pointment with Mr. Tangles at 4:27 a.m. protest simulation including live dummies, constructed by the airt department, tear gas, and' bullets, if any actual disruption exists. “We plan to circle the cam pus, and continue to do so until a riot starts. When that happens we’ll be headed straight for the action,” Golkofski said. Woody Allen entertains students By Cylfyndilfi Balfacolfon Not associated with the Misprint, whatsoever Famous humorist and actor Woody Allen was on campus last week conducting a workshop on the topic of humor. 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- cidently has a special on albums this week at a low, low price of only $11.98. One of the albums to be sold is simply called “The Dictators.” Al Bum, the Misprint’s Music Critic, wrote an absolutely fan tastic review erf' this album, which appears on Page 11. Nobody’s Records has the largest selection of record albums, cassette and eight track tapes in theTri-County area. It also has basement bargains on old, discarded X- rated home movies someone found in the city dump one day. Nobody’s Records is located somewhere in the Tri-County area, but due to a numerous amount of lawsuits pending, disclosure of its exact location at this time is not feasible. Editor’s note: This article was to be written about famous humorist Woody Alien’s speech, but unfor tunately our cub reporter fell asleep during the welcoming speech by Nobody’s Record’s proprietor. By the time the reporter awoke, the only person left in the auditorium was the proprietor, so he inter viewed him instead. No fooling . . . The Misprint is an April Fool’s issue. No fooling. Not a word of truth has been written on pages 1, 2, 15 or 16 of this issue. The stories on these four pages have been written for sheer enjoyment and the names have even been changed (in some instan ces) to protest the innocent or guilty or unknowing vic time in the context. The staff hopes that the readers enjoy the articles as much as they did writing them. So it has been said. They do not claim any words written on pages 1, 2, 15 or 16, and will never own up to them if they are asked. Editor’s note: Tell staff members that scientists have found that candy causes cancer.
