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.

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 of stimulating now—iSon, do people sloop to clooOT Kodac: Wall Monday — Hi hah, that's oatf-ax^tonatory.
