Students Wallace And Merriam Attend
Conference On United States Affairs
Allen Wallace and Roger Merri-
am attended the Twentieth Annual
Student Conference on United
States Affairs conducted in early
December at the U.S. Military
Academy in West Point, New
York.
The four-day affair had as its
theme “Challenges of Change." Bill
Moyers, former White Houbc
Press Secretary, delivered the key
note address. Although differing
with current foreign policy some
what, Moyers emphasised that it
was much easier to criticise a poli
cy that was not working than to
formulate one that worked better.
He stated that eventual unification
of Europe had probably been hast
ened by the Soviet invasion of
Chechoslovakia.
The conference was highlighted
by banquet speaker Nicholas Katx-
enbach, former Attorney General
and currently serving aa Under
Secretary of State. He explained
reasons behind U.S. foreign poli
cy in such areas as Western Eur
ope and Southeast Asia.
The more than 200 delegate#
from over eighty different schools
in the U.S. and Canada partici
pated in various round table dis
cussions in an attempt to formu
late some foreign policy objectives
in specific areas. Alien participat
ed in the East Europe-Soviet Un
ion discussion group, and Roger
was on the Southeast Asia group.
Other topic areas included the
North Atlantic, Middle East, and
United Nations.
Allen is a Junior at Mercer, ma
joring in English with a minor in
Political Science. He is currently
state Chairman of the Georgia
Youth Council and worked last
summer in Washington, D.C., as
an Intern in the U.S. Senate.
Roger is a Senior and a history
major. He is a member of Phi
Eta Sigma and has been on the
Dean's List He presently serves as
Treasurer of MIMA.

Poor Htiry't Almanac
Sleepers
By Henry Wadsworth Shortkid
Ah, poor dear Big Mouth on
Campus Paul Kodac, how he
seems to be the target of all my
research into the free and pure
system at Mercer. And once again
with my brilliant tactics of with
drawing information, I shall once
again extract the true and vital
knowledge on another vastly rele
vant topic.
Shortkid: Your views on sleep
ing in class, please.
Kodac: What is this, a ‘stand
and deliver' cycle?
Shm-tkid: You needn’t stand.
Kodac: Now that you mention
it, I do need . . .
Shortkid: Mention what?
Kodac: Sleeping.
Shortkid: Yet, Sleeping.
Kodac: Oh, I had a good nap
yesterday.
Shortlrid: Yesterday afternoon?
Kodac: No, Western Civ, first
period.
Shortkid: I trust it was a good
Kodac: Yeh. But the prof kept
dropping his book and waking me
up.
Shortkid: Not purposely?
Kodac: I think so. Do you think
it ought to be reported?
Shortkid: Your sleeping in claw?
Kodac: No, the prof keeping me
awake. There oughta be a law.
Shortkid: Oh, I see. But ex
pound as you usually do on this
topic.
Kodac: Waking up to the stir
ring sound of a Western Civ book
hitting the floor . . .
Shortkid: Please sir.
Kodac: Well, there are various
types of classes . , ,
Shortkid: Surely you may skip
the preliminary orientation. How
about the people who sleep in
class?
Kodac: Hmm Well, them art
two basic types of class-sleepsrt, or
class-napperi, as I prefer to call
them.
Shortkid: Extraordinarily clever!
Kodac: I’ve always thought so.
Shortkid: But don't get lost in
your sparkling wit, please.
Kodac: Uh, right There am tbs
class-nappers who are merely ex
tending their usual three hours
rack time per night, with, of
course, a suitable five minute break
for a scalding cup of flat coffee
left over from the days of the Prin
cess and the Frog, and then they
crawl into class and promptly lay
out in the back of the room.
Shortkid: So the prof won't tee
them?
Kodac: No, just wherever they
land. Some come in behind the
prof and hit the desk right up
front. At least some of the profs
are tall enough to step over the
sleeping beauties.
Shortkid: I see.
Kodac: And then there are the
discreet c lass-nappe rs . . .
Shortkid: Discreet?
Kodac: Yes. You know, the ones
who position their writing utensils
so it looks like they are still taking
notes and paying attention and all
that studious jaxx.
Shortkid: But we know better?
Kodac: Right, they drift off in
to Rack-land and into the bliss of
a few seconds of sleep till their
pen drools off the notebook and
scrawls a thick line down the page.
That always wakes them up.
Shortkid: Always?
Kodac: Well there is always one
of those 97 pound weaklings who
manages to tie his legs in a bow
knot around the desk top.
Shortkid: And?
Kodac: They call Buildings and
Grounds.
Shortkid: Why?
Kodac: Specially
handle that sort of thing.
Shortkid: But, to attar our

Preservation Hall Jazz Concert Draws
Enthusiastic Crowd Into The Aisles
By Debra Rogers
Dear Mr. Hasty and Larry,
Finally Mercer bad something
truly cool here for a concert (Of
course the Young Rascals will be
here for homecoming but that's
not the point)
Monday night The Preservation
Hall Jar* Band gave me three of
the finest hours I've ever spent in
Willingham Chapel. They were
great!
There was Billie Pierce on pi
ano, her husband DeDe on coro
net Cie Frasier on drums, Willie
Humphrey on clarinet and Jim
Robinson on trombone.
From the very beginning of the
concert I sat up in the balcony
clapping my hands and tapping
my feet in time to the music; me
and the rest of the jaxx nuts. I
might have made an idiot of my
self but I just could not see bow
those people in the audience just
sat there. I couldn't sit still! I
went back stage afterwards to tall
