I ls It Fact OrlFictidn n January 1, 1984 in every medium of the media the question was asked, Is big brother watching you? With the be- ginning of the new year came a renewed interest in the novel 1984 written by George Orwell. Because of this renewed interest, many have misinterepreted the novel as a portrait of what America is becoming, when in reality it is a warning against the dangers of social- ism. Although many had never read the book, they understood it's meaning be- cause of it's significance to our society. The novel is set in London in the year 1984. Everyone is controlled by Big Brother. Throughout every city are enormous posters of the dicatator's face with the caption Big Brother is watch- ing youf' English is being replaced by a language called Newspeak. The lan- guage is designed to make it impossible to express or even think any idea not sanctioned by Big Brother? The novel seems to be a complete contrast to America of 1984. In the novel everyone is required to not only obey Big Broth- er , but they also love him. In America, however, there seems to be no limit to the amount of opposition against the government and the President. When asked if he thought the 1984 of 0rwell's book in any way relates to the 1984 of today, Doug Vann said he thought it did to a certain extent. He also said, It is more possible for it to occur in another country such as Rus- siag however, it may already be happen- ing in America. It is a very slow pro- cess.

Michelle Leg- gett and Catherine Purtle said, They would rather eat out of a bag than to eat the cafeteria food. Most seniors chose to eat off campus or buy their lunch in the cafeteria. For others, however, buying lunch was too expensive and they were forced to brown bag it. At times bringing a brown bag was embarrassing, such as when your moth- er put something really strange in your lunch or left little notes in the lunch sack. Although it was embarrassing for some it was economical for others. Q 1 W 5
