Meanwhile, the foolish man built his house upon the sand probably looking for a quick real estate return. When the first wave came up, the foolish man lost his home to the shifting sand and the prevailing winds and tides. Perhaps SUSC students can draw some parallels today from this short story. The foolish student walks through the SUSC campus blindly ignoring the signs around him. Many decisions are made by college and student administrators which affect this student's choice of classes, his choice of a major, even his budget. Does he even know that his tuition and fees could cost him an additional $100 next fall because of recent tuition and fee increases and also depending on his major or his class selection? Perhaps not. This student, like many others, just wants to get through the system. By ignoring the situations around him, the student, like the foolish man, bases his educational foundation on shifty sand. He continues to complain about student fees, but does not register his complaint. A little more than a third of the student body even bothered to show up at the polls to elect new student leaders the people who are now fighting BuiLPIMG ON.

The Thunderbird believes the students need to get a little more involved if they wish to safeguard their college careers and even enhance the value of their diploma. Sometimes we have to state our viewpoints becai se the shifting ground of budget cuts and fee increases may scare our administrators into making some decisions which will solve the immediate crisis, but won't help non-tradition- als our educational foundation in the long run. Often administrators will make decisions for us, because they think they have our best interest at heart and want to help 'Access' is a recurring column through which singles, husbands and wives, and a few children. The exceptional movies that were shown had the education. But more often, these administrators will decide the members of the campus community may address themselves to topics of concern andor interest. This Fiddler's (Three Theatres) packed.

This cry, however, has fallen on deaf ears once again. Although facts do not change, the custodians of public knowledge occationally alter them. In publishing their allegations, the Post and the Herald may have sounded a death knell for these, long-hel- d, American values. According to the journalists' code of ethics (yes, there is such a thing) a newspaper should not print stories which state or imply more that the facts themselves state outright. Both the Herald and the Postdid just this when they stated there was a "long term affair" between Hart and Donna Rice."
