Mail Why is the other guy on my floor so popu- lar? He ' s got twenty letters to my one! I think he ' s writing to himself. Getting mail can cheer up the day, and not getting it for weeks can make you want to eat worms. Ads would even be wel- come at times, but the BIG TWO are packages and love letters. In most people ' s hearts the latter comes first, but a box ranks close behind. Care packages ' from home make the receiver envied by everyone back at the dorm. Music Walk down any hallway in the dorms and you notice music. Sneaking out from under the doors or blasting from open doorways, the music is as varied as the equipment. Often times, the blare of stereos, or WVYC ' s music can be heard waft- ing its way down to the diners in the cafeteria. Music is everywhere; omnipresent in the Stu- dent Center, in the dorms and even in the chem labs. Lounging in and among the cushions, sit- ting and lying on the floor, music buffs absorb the vibrations of what to some is cosmic truth, and to others, drivel ; but then there ' s no account- ing for taste. N Newspaper Innovation keynotes this year for The Spartan Press. The beginning of the academic year saw the Spartan preparing for a campaign geared to the diversification of publishing services eminat- ing from the student press. Under the new organizational name, The Spartan Press, publish- ing services were extended to include a forty page bi-monthly magazine entitled The Spec- trum, and a special events publication entitled Special Supplement. The purpose behind this much needed diversification was to add flexibil- ity to the already existing student publishing service, the college newspaper. We look toward the future development of this association of publishing service as one great promise for the students of YCP. Night Something in the night makes you want to go out into it. Because of this, students waste many evenings avoiding their books with the vague intention of starting to study in five more min- utes. Some have their evenings preplanned. Over 1,000 students attend night school at YCP. The city offers its own distractions. Who could turn down an evening at Murph ' s or the Junc- tion? There ' s always the Mall or the latest movie. If you ' re still undecided, stay at home and join in the latest floor party!

L Labs Labs can make total strangers become dear friends or sworn enemies. Hurry up! I ' m going home today. Hey watch that acid! Oh, well, I didn ' t like that shirt anyway. What ' s the temp- erature, 18? No, it ' s 11. Are you sure? It works out, doesn ' t it? I believe it is 11, come to think about it! Lane On September 23, at 7:00 PM, Mark Lane spoke on the topic, Who Killed Kennedy? Lane, noted critic of the Warren Report, spoke before a capacity crowd for two hours, destroying the commission and its report. Lecturers, other than Lane, who have spoken at YCP this year have included Max Rafferty, Bob Gurland, and Perry Gilbert. Lectures Lectures are always too long and too dull. On a rainy Monday with a Prof ' s monotone, some- body ' s going to fall asleep. Then the rest of the class can watch the guy keep from nodding out of his chair. It ' s worse when you have a guest lecturer who never gets to the point. Soon, your only desire is to escape. Sure, sure, that ' s the right equation, but who cares? Library Library: Annals, abstracts, journals, novels, BIBLIOTECKA ARCHITECTURA, books in print, everything. The library is a storehouse for energies and a sweatbox for those attempting to write a term paper which is due the following day. The York College library is special in that it is a depository for government documents, which prove very helpful in special research pro- jects. Its newly remodeled periodical room and a new A.V. department also provide the upmost assistance. This year marked the opening of a rare books and special collections room which can be used by the students to display rare items or view those displayed by others.
