Perhaps, with some evidence, I might be Qiivilnrced that this intangible reward exists. But as it stands, amr-a,aeynlic.

It would be like asking a child to understand Einstein. I'm not asking you to fix everything so that we can all have permanent smiles. Rather, I need a sign, some concrete hope to get me through. And lets not have any Madison Av- enue, fiery chariots, hosts of angels or heavenly thunder. Do it subtly. Whisper in my ear, I am God and I really do ex- sist. Better yet, whisper it in the ear of the world - and please do it soon. I really don't think that there is too much time left. Sincerely, Man

Crusader aoler Calls Government Immoral Ralph Nader, consurer advocate, lashed out at government agencies and major corporations charging them with moral and environmental pollution. Addressing approximately 800 per- sons September 29 in the Wilson Building, Nader called the pollution of the nation's waterways a silent viol- ence . The crusader for change in con- sumer affairs urged the adoption of the following five programs: - public financing of political campaigns - elimination of government sec- recy - reform of conflict of interest laws - reform of lobby activities - general tax reform Concerning consumer attitudes, Nader cited an example of a cereal box assembly line. The last item to be taken care of is putting the cereal into the box - almost as an after-thought. Whate we're paying for is brightly colored packaging. We need new attitudes, he said.

,A 'rid-. I ' ,X K f i. es t ! ,s - t, ,K 4 3 X ,.Q1,,, ew Guidelines Set For GSC Inmate Students Two Leesburg State Prison inmates resumed classes in late January at GSC under new and tighter guidelines ordered by the State Department-of Institutions and Agencies. The Leesburg study-release program was suspended in November, only two months after it began when one of the inmate-students was arrested. ' William Boland, Jr., a convicted murderer, was arrested on November 17 and charged with atrocious assault and bat- tery, carrying a deadly weapon, and robbery in Haddon Town- ship. A Shorly after the arrest of Boland, the state met with college officials to draw up new screening procedures which bar sex offenders from the program. The state also said the program would be tightened up to make sure both prison and college officials are continually accountable for the whereabouts of the inmates. Under the new guidelines given to Glassboro by the prison, the two inmates will not be permitted to use their own trans- portation to and from the college. Prisoners are transported by the prison to a bus stop in Millville where they use public transportation to commute to the campus. Prison officials will also pick them up at the bus stop and the end of the day. Inmates are assigned a campus counselor who will give the prison a monthly summary of the student's activities. Also, the inmates' professors are asked to report any unauthorized absence to the counselors, who will in turn, notify the prison. Inmate-students are also required to be in a specific loca- tion when not in class and to immediately notify their coun- selor if a class is cancelled. information courtesy Courier Post aff I' ,Ov V B13 -- ' . ,av f.' , ft fit ' wrff'f'q13faefW45 '5,7rU ' , T .
