SUGAR XSS TOILET PAPER INTELLIGENCE WI C89 W 1 P OW' E R

Page 14 text:

HORTAGES Two hours on a Sunday morning, waiting in line to let some clown rip you off at 9905 a gallon, complaining about the two gallon limit, wishing you could buy more. Wierd, wierd was the gas shortage. We all took it for granted for so many years. Never thought about it, one way or the other. But all of a sudden gas was something you did think about. You planned your trip to the gas sta- tion if friends called each other to report a short line or places where you could buy as much as you wanted. When it was over, the days of 306 cents a gallon gas were gone forever. There were paper shortages too, in the early to mid- seventies. There were meat shortages and electricity short- ages tcalled brownouts after what happened to your un- derwear when the lights suddenly dimmedl. There was even a toilet paper shortage that newsmen found difficult to treat seriously. And maybe you remember other shortages from your college years. Like height tl wish l were six feet talll. Or time tthree papers and four exams next weekl. Or money. Sure, there were lots of shortages. Certainly enough in- S X Q E 5 convenience and hassles to qualify these as the good old days.

EXCESS While the early seventies were often characterized by shortages, there was also excess. The most obvious was an excess of shortages, but there were other excesses. few of which were missed at Kean. The Surgeon General warned we are becoming a nation of fatties. eating too much junk food containing too much cholesterol and too many additives. We often drank too much beer or other fine spirits, or smoked too many of those funny cigarettes. There were both excesses at the all- college parties and we often paid for our intemperance afterwards. Hell week was an excess ofjust about everything from raw eggs to humiliation but in the end it was the sister and brotherhood that made it all worthwhile, Occasionally we found ourselves in the middle ofa semester when each of five or six professors treated us like his was our only class and the homework piled up and threatened to overwhelm US. But there was plenty of friendship and sharing, two things that can never seem excessive. We traded notes and tutored each other and somehow we all pulled through. All we needed was a little help from our friends. I i li f . - A , l r t , , 1 E 19 lst ,, W 9. , VV W- I an Ji -w . X f ,,. .-'K YS. i f N Q, - N53 x 2. 1 L-..... I -, ' drerfcs-f .
