J— 1 1 r I V ■ — March 20th marked the day that Glassboro State College teachers walked out on strike. Picket lines covering 15 college entrances lasted only one day before the American Federation of Teachers and the state reached an agree- ment. The strike, preceding Spring Break, was the shortest in history. The seven percent cost of living increase, academic freedom and choice of textbooks were a few of the issues which appeased the GSC faculty and the teachers of the seven other state colleges. Favorite teachers bundled in heavy winter coats, carrying their ON STRIKE posters, was a sight that GSC students will not forget, even though they wished it had lasted a few more days. 23

IS THE WORD Students of Rydell High graduated to Glassboro State College last April 8, as the Broadway musical Grease exploded into Esby Gym. The near sell-out crowd was treated to 90 minutes of shoo-wop doo-bops and frantic 50 ' s dancing while the players demonstrated what a typical term was like at a typical high school 25 years ago. It was all done in good fun though, complete with moon- shots, pink cigarettes and D.A. ' s. The action got a little roudy at times; occasionally songs were not the only things flying off the stage. So were lit cigarettes and small props. But no one was hurt; it added to the realistic flavor of the SAB-sponsored event.
