lVhen rain falls upon FCC itappears social classes rise as aresult. Two distinct classes haverisen - the class with umbrellasand the class without. (Some-where in the middle are thosewith hoods.)

Now the class with umbrellasare an obnoxious class, indeed.They peer from beneath theirhavens disapprovingly at thedrenched creatures which repre-sent the class below them.

the girl under the umbrella isthe nastier. She aets so superiorjust because her'masc¿r.a is stillon her eyelashes, her blush isstill high on her cheekbone, herhair isn't ftizzed or straightenedand her nose is devoid 'ofraindrops.

Ignoring the obvious, the twoclasses are easy totell apart. Theclass without umbrellas is a veryhurried class. The can be seenrunning around as if they werebeing chased. Every once in awhile they dodge into a buildingor under a patio as if to take abreather.

The class with umbrellas, onthe other hand, act as if they'reout for an afternoon stroll. Theyvisit with friends (others withumbrellas) on their way to class.They saunter or stroll orsometimes they can even bè seenstrutting, in the midst of whatthe lower class would call "greattorrents of wetness."

Another difference betweenthe two classes c¿n be found intheir opinion of the Cafeteria.- For the lower class theCafeteria is a warm refuge from

the cruel elements. For theupper class it is sometimeS asuit¿ble place to socialize withtheir dry friends.

For the lower class it is a placeto drip dry their curls, removetheir drenched outer garmentsand warm thei¡ shivering bodieswith warm soup. They drip andslurp while the upper class gab.

'folly's Pool' no longer seems like follyBy Crrol Bell

_Four young musicians' purusalof their fqlly or foolish-endeavorin life could be a desêription ofthe popular Frcsno þand, Folly'sPool.

'The group tries to reflect ourfolly through our music as a stillpgol of water relleets anythingthat looks into it." T'l¡us the naméFollys'Pool.

Follys'Pool was formed aboutfive years_ago by brothers Dougand Jeff Carlson. However, thaigroup disbanded and it wasn'tuntil two years ago that anotherFollys'Pool emerged, again withthe Carlson brothers, -howeverthis time with different musi-cians, Ohl on lead g!itå¡.

^_"I wasn't always in the group,"

Ohl explained. 'At first-I wasjust a studio musician. In fact

when I was frrst asked to þin Iwasn't sure if that's what Iw¿nted. At the time I washeavily io'to iazz and I wasn'tsure ifI wanted to change to justplaying rock."

Ohl did join and is very happyplanng with the group as it hasnot been conÍined solely to rock.In fact, Ohl could not really putthe group into any definitecategory. "1{e play many idiomsof music. Not just rock orcountry, for instance, but manydiferent type.s." Doug Carlsonwrites most of the music for thegroup. However, Ohl said theother members, including him-self, are nrriting more and more.

Ohl said, "My musical baek-ground is réally kind of weird. Ibegan learning guitar aboutseven years ago basically be-cause my brother, whom is ayear older than me, was learning.Th¿t didn't last long, however, asthe teacher told my parents thatI had nó ability for music and Iwas one of his worst students.

Gos going upRemember back about six yea^rs ago when Ameriea went

through the gas shortage scare? Well, they're at it again. That'sShell Oil, the largest oil eonpany in America.

SheU claims there h¡s been too grest I demand for gas,meinty unleaded, so Shell is going to start rationing gas to theirdealers. Gas ststions will only be able to order 75 per cent of the¡¡as that was ordered l¿st December and no more than 38 percent may be unleaded.

SheU also blames the shortage on "unrealistieally low" pricesset by governnent regulations. They must be kidding, lorlprices? Today, regular gasoline costs on the average 6Íl to 66cents and unleaded goes from 68 to ?5 cents a gallon)and theycall those low prices.

When you eonsider the fact that Shell can produce gas foralmost the same price as 16 years ago and gas then was 20 to 25cen-ts and it is now 66 cents, they're making about 30 centsprofrt on each gallon.

And now if government regulations are lifted, the price of g"as

will go right through the roof.Sinee Shell has st¿¡ted rationing gas how much farthe¡ back

can Chewon, Richlield and EXXON be? t4till they startrationing? They say no, but then Shell only gave us one day'swarning about their rationing gas.

One thing is clear,from this little rationing blt by Shell andtha.t is that the American people are virtually at the mercy of oilcompanies. Shell oil is giving the shaft to the people royally.

Whol's o'cuh'?The Guyana tragedy has directed attention to the

phenomenon of religious "cults" in the United States.Cults have received considerable publicity in the last few

years. Everyone has heard of or knows someone whds a Moonie(member of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church) orinto Scientology or Hare Krishna.

Repeatedly oceuring in connection with cults is the idea ofbrainwashing and coercion of members. After recent events inJonestown, one must wonder about what inducement would

I would sincerely like to see aday care center here because it isneeded very badly and wouldhelp many students who aregoing into child development orchild education.

And I think it will be verymuch appreciated because manypeople need this type of headstart program and there is agreat numbers of people who arewilling to support the program.

I'm writing-this letter aboutthe need for a day-care center.Many students in this schoolhave young children in need ofsupervision during the day.

If this supervision is notavailable the students cannottake sufficient care of their child,while .also getting a highereoucatron.

Why must both the child andparent suffer because of the lackof facilities?
