She went on to add, “Right now for the winter term we are focusing on spreading the gospel through our own words and actions. Our studies are revolving around this theme.” Inter-Varsity has been around the College for a few years now, but it took “outside organizer” Bruce Erikson to get things “really moving,” accor ding to Rogers. Erikson divided the large Bible group into two smaller groups, making it a “more in- timate Bible study.” He also appointed two student leaders to each group. These smaller groups meet separately once a week, besides attending the weekly larger group meetings. The Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship meets every Tuesday at noon in Room 116, Community Center.

He presented a con sensus from students, who have voiced their objections on the smoggy state of the cafeteria to ASG • officers in increasing numbers lately, both in person and through the new suggestion box system. Roberts and Ryan agreed that, a better arrangement was needed to insure at least one refuge for clean-air-seeking diners, and it was agreed to label and set aside the Intimate Dining Room for that use. Signs to the effect are being made, and may be in place by press time. Enforcement has not been mentioned, but it is hoped that smokers will obser ve the new, unwritten law. College Jaycees win recognition The College chapter of the Jaycees, although fairly new, is fast becoming recognized in the state and nation. Jim Newby, member of the Jaycees, said the chapter is number one in their population division and has won numerous local ancT national awards for their efforts. “We’ve broken recruitment records, said Newby, “along with capturing 13 awards, two of them national leadership awards.” The Jaycees are 54 strong and still growing, according to Newby. “Any CCC student, faculty, or former student is eligible to join,” he said. “The Jaycees are concerned with bettering themselves by helping other people,” said Newby. “We gain leadership experience that way. ” Draft topic of hot student forum pay attention. The discussion grew from three or four to well over a hundred. The forum turned in to an enlarged version of “Town Hall Tonight.” Then, Channels 6 and 2 showed up, and with three cameras and well over 100 opinions, things became hot. Voices became louder, tem pers flared. I thought a riot'was going to occur. When Jim Rowe, the anchorman for Channel Six News, stepped in front of a good friend sitting next to me, he sincerely asked, “I’m not in your way, am I?” Wow! He actually spoke to us! I’ve watched him so many times on TV. Gosh, it was ex citing. Tension was really building now. When a student from Kuwait was spotted amongst the mass, the cameras and LET ME SAY THIS — Kuwait [toffy Coffman, it Tom Rhodes p The Print lit had been a long week and has hoping to end it on a lice, peaceful note. I decided io finish the day by eatng a lice, peaceful lunch that Feb. |h. After I bought my usual Inch (a salad, chocolate lughnut and a Mr. Pibb), I sat Iwn. The cafeteria was quite ■elaxing. Although rather |owded,.the lunchroom was liiet, ana everyone was intent peeping it that way. [Unwrapping the cellophane pm my doughnut, I looked up ltd noticed something I had lot seen while searching for my pt. A young man with light fcown, curly hair was pacing KVously. Although nearly peryone looks nervous in the pfeteria, he (later announcing piself as Phil Boitnott) was microphones were pushed into his face. This was Freedom of Speech’s most appalling moment. Not only did they want his opinion, they deman ded it. He handled the situation quite well. I would have died. I could just see it now. Phil Boitnott at the mike: “I want to hear someone with brown hair and a big nose’s view. Hey! Here’s one. Get him!” I’m sure I would have said something stupid, like, “Draft? What draft? I don’t feel a thing.” From there, it went downhill. The crowd slowly started to leave. The crowd relaxed. I felt like I had just seen “The Deer Hunter.” Emotionally, I was. exhausted and drained.

Photo by not nervous because of the food, but because of what was to come. A television camera was staring directly at Boitnott, and there was a man looking into it, trying to focus on Boit nott, still pacing behind a set of microphones. Meanwhile, a man with long hair and a beard slowly strolled up to a couple sitting next to me, and started asking them questions about the draft and if they supported it. After getting their opinions, he cordially in vited them up to the mike to voice their opinions to a crowd that looked like inspirations for a Randy Newman song. I knew I was in big trouble. Yet, 1 couldn’t move. 1 was frozen in my chair, staring into these purple things in my salad (someone told me it was cab bage, but I still don’t believe him). The man finished with the couple and started towards me when Boitnott’s voice ex ploded over the speakers, “Hi, I’m Phil Boitnott find the reason for the cameras is...well...I’m hoping to con duct a public forum, and the topic for this discussion is the reinstatement of the draft.” I breathed a sigh of relief as the man moved, his thoughts turning away from devouring me. The crowd, at first, seemed more interested in the fact that the sun was shining. Boitnott may have scared the crowd when he announced that the forilm was being broadcast over S.l.N.
