Lunchttme Mirrors Chan ge More Pants, More Hair, More People, Less Trash This year the School Board reduced hair and dress regulations to one: they must be neat and clean. Few will probably forget the first drizzly day of dress freedom. Every girl who remembered came to school in slacks, and a few boys came in shorts. But after a day or so one didn ' t notice unless one thought about it. Not only did the people look different, but there were more of them out at once. The single lunch, which students have been asking for for several years finally became a reality. Over-crowding was not the problem some expected it to be, because of a much more efficient snack line. Vending machines were put in and pop- corn was sold at the Friendly Student Store which was also re- modeled this year. SM students, notorious litterbugs in the past, began picking up their trash during the second semester. This was due to a well- planned Pollution Day program held January 28 (Anniversary of the Oil Spill) as a part of the Santa Barbara Declaration of En- vironmental Rights, speakers and films made people more aware of air, noise and water pollution, overpopulation and waste of resources. Most people ' s feelings are summed up in Torben Mah- neke ' s phrase: the best day at San Marcos.

I Theatre- In- The- Round Windows Reflects Complacent Alienations For their 15 years together, Ted and Frances told themselves that they nlidn ' t need anyone else, that they were happy. But they did know: Somehow we always seem to be alone. Once they decided to have the baby, they wondered why giving birth was suddenly so important. The baby dead, Frances carried within her the heavy and painful lump of flesh which had once promised them fuller life. They lived with frustration, exercising verbal cover-ups: arguing, chatting about antique stores, wall- paper and bookshelves. Into their new house came three teen.igers: Karen, who is weak sexually, Lester, a charming sort who likes wine, and Eugene, whose brother was killed in the war! fhe hasn ' t got a brother). In the end, Ted and Frances have done everything they thought they wouldn ' t: they ' ve looked out the windows, Ted has kissed Karen, they drank and danced, and they leave for a party next door. They needed someone, but as Ted realized, You can ' t get m with these people unless you ' re willing to assume certain char- acteristics. They put on their masks, and left.
