After they left and I caught my breath, the rally began. minutes of meditating on Hiroshima every second to un derstand Trident.” He then proceeded to tell us that all 30 of these death machines could destroy the world over and over and over and over... Wow, and I’ve been worrying about getting drafted. While I sit in the sun worrying about going to war, I, along with'the rest of thè world, could be demolished in a few minutes. That made mè mad. What kind of a society are we? Self destruction is lurking everywhere. The leaders of our world say they want peace. If that’s so, they are going about it in the wrong way. World peace. Sure, we will have peace one day, but no one will be here to enjoy it. What kind of legacy are we leaving the next generation? If there is one. Face it, the world if coming to an end. I used to be the optimistic one. The one who believed men were naturally good. Well, someone sure proved me wrong. To me war is a simple thing. Men killing each other over an argument. Can you imagine if everyone •fought to the death during an argument? There would be no one here. I honestly have no place in my heart for war. I think it is immature and a waste of time. God put us here on earth as , caretakers, for His land, and we are aestroying it. we are not very good landlords. As all of this ran through my head, I shivered in the warm sun. I looked at my watch. Time was up. The rally wasn’t even half over yet but I’d heard enough to last a lifetime, probably a short lifetime. Art museum visits urged By Lori Kent For The Print When was the last time you saw an art show? Or,-have you ever been to an art show? Well, there’s a lot of art out there to be seen and admired. Being an art major, I’ve come to appreciate many dif ferent forms of art that I would probably have never been ex posed to if I had not chosen fine arts as my major. Now I’m glad that I have had a chance to see some of the works of art made available to us. I feel others should take advantage The Print, a member of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, aims to be a fair and impartial journalistic medium covering the campus community as thoroughly as possible.

There are many art exhibits and museums around to visit, the Portland Art Museum, Contemporary Crafts Gallery, frequent shows in schools, fairs, why, from time to time, there are even exhibits in our parks . I recently drug my boyfriend to a show at the Portland Art Museum and to his surprise, he really enjoyed it. He saw some things he liked, some things he didn’t like, but he had a nice time and plans on attending more in the future. You don’t have to like everything you see, but remember, it’s easy to be critical. Not all art is good art, but don’t dismiss something without a fair trial. College worth new expansion . With the increase in enrollment, it’s about time we expanded a little bit and made some breathing room. Already, the desperately needed science building is on its way to completion. Soon a new industrial-occupational center will be built, along with a learning resource center and a new performing arts center, if funds are available over the next five years. A long-range planning committee has been formed to assess the needs and smooth out the details. All in all, it will still cost money. This college is worth it. An institution can’t do a very good job if its facilities are inadequate. Improvements must be made. People are demanding it by just enrolling. All of the above will be completed within six years. That’s a long time to wait, but each year puts us closer to becoming a little more valuable to the community. Just as a kid needs a new pair of shoes because his feet are growing, so the College needs new facilities for the growing number of people entering its doors. If you have any interesting ideas you would like the long-range planning commit- tn helping too <•/■» in any way, you should attend the commit tee’s next meeting, tomorrow at 3 p.m. in Barlow 352.
