Days of Wineand RosesRemember when the news of

college comic book courseofferings at scholastic centerssuch as Indiana University stolethe show from the Sunday fun-nies? Well, a new trend oncollege campuses could rebuildthe California economy. Thattrend is to sip and study thewines of California."More than 200 wine apprecia-

tion courses are now offered inconnettion with colleges and un-iversities, and there are probably600 campuses where wine studiesgo on," according to WineInstitute, the association ofCalifornia wine growers."On many campuses, wine has

become a standard part of thecurriculum in home economics,chemistry, botany, biology,geography and sociology."

Inorder to continue this highlyhonorable and noble ( ? ) tradi-tion , however, new staffmembers are really, really need-ed, especially knurds who canstring a bunch of words togetherto make a psuedo-coherentsentence.

"Wine Institute cites severalcontributing causes for the winesstudies boom. First, college in-structors and administratorswant to make their courses moreappealing to students." Also,since there's plenty of history,culture, science and yes, eventechnology involved in the storyof wine, it's easy to relate toother college studies, such asfluid mechanics.A "Wine on Campus Packet"

It's up toYou Now, Baby

By David Key

On this earth's surface overfour billion people reside. In ourown galaxy, the probability of 50million more planets like ourearth exist, each of proportionalpopulation. Our universefourishes with an incountablemyriad of such galaxiesblanketing the dimensionlessabyss of space. There is a con-siderable chance of a multiplicityof universes and simultaneouscontinuums of isolated universescoexisting in different dimen-sions. Even in all that, therecould still be more, only one ofyou exists; an individual with adistinct and separate personali-ty, a mind governed exclusivelyby your own initiative. Othersmay attempt to corrupt the in-tegrity of the individual and sub-vert him to their own ends andcontrol. However, choice is hisfreedom, and force has nopower; even though he may bechained in body, his mind is freefor contemplation, vexation,*revenge, or development. The in-dividual can supercedelimitations and develop hispotential beyond all expec-tations. We are all here at thisschool for the purpose of expan-sion of knowledge. How we do itand to what degree in what fieldsare also our choice, but a mis-take or waste at this point couldbe costly to our futures. You canbe anything you want to work tobe in school, sports, band, life oranything; the choice is up to you,the individual; don't blow it now,baby.

GRAB FOR ALL YOU CAN GET,BUT LEAVE THE GUSTO ALONE

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGESEvery year, Rose-Hulman Institute celebrates Homecoming with

a weekend full of festivity. Rose-Hulman Homecoming '75 is no ex-ception. especially if Rosie Wants You in it's American RevolutionBicentennial Rose-Hulman Homecoming. To enhance the occasion,there will be "Homecoming Dinner-show, The Pink Elephant Club,and the Happy Hour." All these festivity bring the attention ofalcoholic beverages being served in the public area of the college.Lets look at the school policy toward alcohol at Rose-Hulman. In

the 1975 edition of the Student Handbook, it contains a section titledPOLICY ON ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE. It states in Part C:"Alcoholic beverages may not be used by students on the campus ex-cept within the privacy of their own living quarters." In Part F, itstates that "Alcoholic beverages shall not be sold on the Rose cam-pus.''Case and Point: In the Pink Elephant Club, it states that mixers

may be purchased. The Pink Elephant Club and Happy Hour will betaking place in the fieldhouse, which isn't a private living quarter.For the Homecoming Dinner-show at the Hulman-Union set-ups willbe provided but you must BYOB. All this indicates that there is aconflict between these Homecoming events and the schools policytoward alcoholic policy.

From the Homecoming flyer sent out by Rose-Hulman to thealumni, any freshman can interpret from it that they will be servedalcoholic beverages at all these functions because at no place in theflyer does it state that you must be over 21 to participate. Under theIndiana Alcoholic Beverage Control (IABC) Act, it is unlawful forany person to sell, furnish, give or cause to be sold, furnished orgiven away any alcoholic beverages to any person under the age of21 years.This should show enough concern for the school to start and re-

revise it's policy on alcoholic beverages. There is a need for anUNIFIED policy to cover the students, faculty, staffs, and otherRose Family Members in fair and EQUAL manner. At the presenttime, there are no provisions in the Hulman Student Union Buildingconcerning the use of alcohol on its premises but whenever a studentfunction takes place in the union, the first thing the students are toldis that NO BOOZE IS ALLOWED IN THE UNION.

In the past, the Union Advisory Board made a resolution that no

alcoholic beverages will be permitted in the union. This resolution

carried no power for enforcement. Yet, after some Board ofManagers meeting begins, alcoholic beverages are served. Accor-ding to President Dr. John Logan, alcoholic beverages are allowedunder certain conditions. If a responsible Rose organization wants tohave a function at the Union in which alcoholic beverages are serv-ed, President Dr. John Logan must approve it. In order to get ap-proved. the following conditions must be met: (1) All those who at-tend the function must be over 21, (2) There must be proper andadequate supervisions, (3) The alcoholic beverages must be cateredby those with proper licensing under IABC, (4) the President shallhave the sole power to refuse approval to prevent unwanted outsideorganizations and weed out function where alcoholic beverages areinappropriate. Rene Hebert, Saga Food Service director, will makeall arrangements for the licensed catering of alcoholic beveragesonly after approval for the functions has been granted.The school's policy on the consumption of alcohol by students un-

der 21 in their private living quarters come from the Stanford Plan

from Stanford U. Although this is a clear violation of the IABC ActRose-Hulman Institute neither condones it nor encourages consump-tion. However, the Institute will take actions against anyone causing

a disorder or an offensive act due to inmoderate use of alcohol.Should anyone's private living quarters be raided for violation ofIABC Act, that person will be subject to all consequences of theviolation.

COMMENTARYThis article is intended to bring out serious questions that need to

be resolved immediately. Hopefully, proper supervision will beprovided for all the Homecoming activities which involve the ser-

ving of alcoholic beverages. This will avoid any problems and will

bring more and better Homecomings. Actions must be taken now tomaintain the best interest of the Rose community.

The calculations you face require no less.Today, even so-called "non-technical" courses(psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a vari-ety of technical calculations—complicated cal-culations that become a whole lot easier whenyou have a powerful pocket calculator.Not surprisingly, there are quite a few such

calculators around, but ours stand apart, andahead. We started it all when we introduced theworld's first scientific pocket calculator back in1972, and we've shown the way ever since.The calculators you see here are our newest,

the first of our second generation. Both offer youtechnology you probably won't find in compet-itive calculators for some time to come, if ever.Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log and

trig calculations, including rectangular/polarconversions and common antilog evaluations.

It's display is fully formatted, so you can choosebetween fixed decimal and scientific notation.Our HP-25 does all that—and much, much

more. It's programmable, which means it cansolve automatically the countless repetitiveproblems every science and engineering studentfaces.

With an HP-25, you enter the keystrokesnecessary to solve the problem only once.Thereafter, you just enter the variables andpress the Run/Stop key for an almost instantanswer accurate to 10 digits.

Before you invest in a lesser machine, by allmeans do two things: ask your instructorsabout the calculations their courses require; andsee for yourself how effortlessly our calculatorshandle them.

Both the HP-21 and HP-25 are almostcertainly on display at your bookstore. If not,call us, toll-free, at 800-538-7922 (in Calif.800-662-9862) for the name of an HP dealernear you.

ENGINEERS OUTPLAYBULLDOGS; FALLRose-Hulman's Engineers out-

played a much bigger Butlerteam last Saturday, but lost thegame 20-12.

Turnovers cost the Engineersdearly, as they fumbled on the 5yard line of Butler. The turn-overs in the game were to theBulldogs advantage 4-3, withRose also fumbling a field goalattempt.

Butler drew first blood as theydrove 42 yards in the first quarterfollowing an Engineer fumble.Rose came right back, however,with a drive of 70 yards. It was atthis point, at the five, that JimShegog fumbled.

The Engineer defense got the

ball right back, and a 16 yardpunt return by John Schroederput the ball on the Butler 33.Eight plays later Gary Lee threwa strike to Kevin Kingery for thefirst Rose touchdown. The pointafter attempt was blocked,however.

Neither team could gain an ad-vantage until early in the fourthperiod when Butler scored again.Both defenses came up with thebig play when needed in the se-cond and third quarter, bothteams missing field goalattempts and Rose picking offthree passes.

Noyes went to work and did a jobof their own, opening holes forKingery and Gary Schultz, theEngineers drove 86 yards for asecond score, Lee scrambling thelast 5 untouched. The two pointconversion pass from Lee wentoff the diving Hildebrand'sfingertips, giving the advantageto the Bulldogs 13-12.

Butler's superior size finallybegan to take its toll when theBulldogs regained the ball. TheButler machine ground its waythrough the Rose line, and scoredits last touchdown with but threeminutes left.

An outstanding effort at allpositions almost knocked off ahighly rated team. The defensivebackfield held Butler's outstan-ding quarterback Jim Lynch to 11of 24 passing, with Gary Ellis,Kirk Augspurger and Schroederall pilfering a throw.

Lee, behind excellent blockingwas 18 of 29 for 171 yards.Kingery plowed his way for 124yards, as well as picking upanother 59 in passing. Shegogrushed for 50 yards, with Schultzdoing an excellent job coming offthe bench. Jim Gidcomb andNoyes each latched on to fourLee passes.

THE END OF AN ERAFor more than 12 years, TH. has had to haul loads and loads of

towels, dirty moldy socks, and jocks to an uptown laundry so that theathletes would have clean equipment for games and practices.

Til said "I've hauled a whole potload of moldy socks and dirtyjocks."This vast amount of laundry totals almost 8 tons per year.

However, now as a little known part of the fieldhouse remodeling,the staff will now have access to a new washer and dryer. This willset the scene for a much cleaner athletic program in the years tocome.
