M J It began like any other Mon-Q V day — horribly — but as the day progressed it was obvious that this was no ordinary day. It was cursed. Somebody was out to get her! During period one. the first catastrophe happened. The batteries in her Tl 30 were dead. Ordinarily that wouldn't have been so awful, but today she had to take a trig. test. So much for this one. Next hour, on the announcements. they reminded the owner of a brown Ford, license plates FTR 352. to turn off the car's lights. Suddenly. she left class, leaving her physics partners laughing hysterically. She dashed out to the parking lot to turn off her car's lights. Lunch, which usually brought relief, turned out to be disasterous. As she walked to her usual table. she slipped on a stray noodle, dropping her tray, spaghetti and all. As the plate rolled across the room, she stormed out of the cafeteria, turning bright red as everyone applauded. All of this was upsetting, but she remained optimistic. After all. she thought that not much more could happen. 'She was wrong. In Sociology, she saw a movie on cults. She suddenly realized why her friend sold flowers at the airport. She could take no more. There was only one solution. Soon an idea came to her. She had found a way to get out her frustrations. Tuesday, one of her teachers was found dead. That afternoon she was arrested. The charge — murder. At the hearing she pleaded innocent. The grounds — temporary insanity.

Seniors’ eighteenth birthdays means trip to Post Office Army. Navy. Air Force. Marines. These names evoke various images of discipline, honor or servitude, depending on your point of view. The male seniors turned eighteen and faced a fact seniors had not faced in years: the draft registration. Not everyone was upset about the registration. Some felt there was nothing to be upset over because there would not actually be a draft. Others thought the service was a good option after high school. Some people joined the service for the challenge or perhaps the security. For some, joining the service embodied patriotism. For others it involved pride, honor or family tradition. But inevitably many of the seniors were concerned. They looked for- ward to the future they had planned, a future without a draft. Registration was not so bad. but a registration only foreshadowed a draft. Or perhaps worse, it was merely a political ploy by politicians to get someone else's vote. There was not much of a choice for those who disliked the draft registration. Jail was their alternative, and that was. if possible, even less appealing. Filling out their registration cards, some identified themselves as conscientious objectors, formally refusing to perform military service for moral or religious reasons. Nevertheless. most seniors did fill out a card. And so one by one. as they turned eighteen, our male seniors filed into the U.S. Post Office to register with the government.
