1 he Electric Horseman is not the only activity that Program Board has scheduled for ones enjoyment this month. There were many other activities ranging from the movie “10” to a night with Gordon Liddy. This event was probably the most memorable, you remember G. Gordon Liddy, he was the leader of the plumbers group, who, under orders from the Nixon re-election committee, tried unsuccessfully to bug the Democratic Campaign Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. This event generated lots of opin- ion on the usually apathetic G.W.U. campus. There were many people who believed that it was not right to reward a man such as Liddy by paying him to speak just because he was involved in a famous crime of espionage. The best response to this question was given by Liddy himself, when asked this question during his speech, he responded, “Nobody forced anybody to come here. I just offered myself. If peo- ple want to hear what I have to say then line but if you don’t nobody forced you to come.” After reading background material on him, one had built up an image of him. Well, to many people’s surprise, Gor- don Liddy did not appear to be like the man expected. His speech was laced with comical references, he exhibited great knowledge of history and the classics, and great devotion to things that he believed in. When he entered Lisner Auditorium to begin his speech, he only received a sparse applause, but when he finished, he exited to a partial standing ovation. Although one might not have agreed with what he said, one had to admit that he was very impressive and entertaining. The guys and girls who wanted a cheap place to take a date, went of course to the Program Board movie series. For either a dollar or for free, you could treat your friend to a movie in the Marvin Center Ballroom, or if you are lucky, in Lisner Auditorium. If the latter is the case, you even get to hear the movie, as we all know how wonderful the sound system in the Marvin Center Ballroom is. Going to a movie at GW is a unique experience. The audience really participates during the showing. They throw additions into the dialogue such as “Go For it” as Dudley Moore eyes Bo Derek naked for the first time in the movie “10”, or cheering each person as the credits roll by.

You eat, do the dishes, and sit down to watch the 7:30 repeats of M A S H on Channel 5. Even though you have seen this episode seven times already, you still laugh at the screen as Hawkeye and the rest of the cast go through their zany activities. As the last joke finishes, you decide to look over your syllabus for each of your classes to see what your worklo ad is going to be like this semester. After you make the unfortunate discovery that 23 books are required this semester, you reluctantly move “BOOKSTORE” to the top of your list of things to do. With a check in your wallet, you head down to the basement of the Marvin Center and enter the book- store. In front of you is mass hysteria. There are lines everywhere. Once again, because you procrastinated, you must spend hours doing something that should take minutes. After walking through the maze of books, you collect all the ones you need. Of course there are those that are either sold out or not in stock yet. By now the line has grown as long as 1-95, but you have come this far already, so there is no turning back. Finally, you reach the cashier and as she rings up book after book, you wonder how much it will all cost. With the push of the last button, the total pops up on the screen $158.53. Begrudgingly you reach for that check in your wallet and proceed to write it out. You think to yourself, “Boy I could buy 50 Bone burgers with that or 25 albums.” Anything seems like a better investment than a book entitled, All You Wanted to Know About Keynesian Economic Theory, But Were Afraid to Ask. You exit the bookstore thinking. “Why did I buy all these books. I ' m probably not going to use half of them anyway. I wonder it I ' ll be able to sell them back at SERVE. After getting back to your room and setting them up on the shelf, you decide that at least they make you look intellectual. After two weeks of classes have gone by, you realize that if you leave them in mint condition they will be worth more when you sell them at SERVE, but you must remember that one is also at college to get an education. You decide this is as good a time as any to start your studies. You take your books, notebooks, and pens and head over to the library. When you reach the library you notice that it is no longer called the G.W.U. Library but the Geiman Library. This inspires you to turn over a new leaf and really do some heavy studying. Driven to study, you head up to the fourth floor fish bowl and proceed to get totally enthralled by the Freudian reasons for having an Oedipus complex. After an hour passes you become slightly restless and head out into the hallway to take a well deserved break. Of course, three of your friends have the same idea, so finding something to do is not hard. You sit down in the lobby and say hello to your friends who pass by and lament how long you have been studying and how much more you have to do. Finally after the fifteen minute break that turned into a one hour party, you decide it is time to return to those lonely books. Later, you leave the library feeling proud of yourself for actually doing work and not going to the Program Board’s showing of Electric Horseman. 27
