GSC Students Want Action on Rt. 322 A majority of the students, faculty and administration agree that GSC is not the ideal place to locate an interstate highway. Just as 322 divides our campus, its' solution di- vides the community. The state has lowered the speed limit and placed traffic lights in the more frequented crossways. But that's all they'lI do. The borough council says they'll consider the problem if an origin of destination survey is taken to determine who uses the road and why. fBut the state won't grant permission for such action.j That's all the borough will do. SGA, Security, and committees of concerned students raised money for action, and traveled to Trenton to lobby for funds to reroute Rt. 322. And that's only some of what they'll do. Why should an otherwise rurally set campus be deprived of its aesthetic potential? Why must student pedestrians spend time figuring out the saftest as well as the quickest means of crossing Rt. 322? The answer often given is that college students should know how to cross a road. Why then in 1972 were there two motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians, with injury, three 'motor vehicle accidents with injury and 21 motor vehicle accidents with injury? Obviously, the motorist is having difficulty jockeying between the hun- dreds of students who cross the highway in the 15 munute interval between classes.

ERGY CRISIS Do you regret that eight cyclinder gas hog that you sunk all of your hard-earned dollars into? ls it getting harder and harder to even find a gas station open to fill that tank? Do you shiver at night under icy covers in a 68 apartment or do you sneak out and turn up the thermostat and pray for heat? Sound like you? Welcome! You're a victim of the Energy Crisis. The crisis seemed to start back when the Arabs launched an embargo on oil shipments to the U.S. lNasty, nasty Arabsj. This explana- tion seemed sufficient until leaks from both press and oil companies reported that U.S. oil storage tanks were full, while the number of full oil tankards anchored off the eastern coast had increased. According to newsman Howard K. Smith, the embargo was leaking like a sieve. William E. Simon, head of the Federal Energy Office, said We fthe U.S.l have been on a collision course in energy requirements and demands for many years. ln 1970 pro- duction peaked . . . but energy needs will double between 1973 and 1990. This year Americans suffered not only gas and heat shortages, but a dark Christmas. The use of outside lights was discouraged by the Nixon Administration and a majority of citi- zens cooperated. Other energy sources are being looked into according to Federal Energy officials. Some of these are new ones like solar and nuclear energy as well as the revived interest in the use of coal, which only goes to show there's no fuel like and old fuel. T XTA
