Refugees-We!cfJmed fJf NfJt? By Kathy Wotfe

A short while ago the question of involvement in Vietnam was the major concern of many Americans. Now attention has been turned to the Vietnamese refugees and their p·Jace in -or out of - our country.

Some Americans hes itate to welcome them because of the danger of transmi1ting diseases. However, accord ing to Casper Weinberger, Secre·tary of Healt-h, Education and WeHare, most Vietn·amese are innoculated against smal·lpox and other com. mun icable diseases on Guam, and if not, they are immediately

''vaccinated when they reaoh the states . Also, doctors in Guam are reporting the majority of the refugees are in good mental and physical health . .

Another argument used against the Vietnamese is the ever­:ncreasing unemployment rate in t•he country . At the most, the-re 3re 130,000 re<fugees relocating here. It' s difficul!t to be li eve that this num:ber o.f people could drastically a'l•ter tihe lives of 210 million . Considering the employees who die, retire, transfer, quit or are f ired from their jobs, there .must be jobs avai lable for those who really want to work.

Not al l of the Vietnamese are as ii'Jioterate as some people '1i'nsist upon be~ieving . In the first place most m them are from the m iddle or upper middle class in their country. Many even worked in the U. S. Embassy there.

As one can see, ·the reasoning behind many of the arguments to keep the ",foreigners" out is nat sound. J,f we were to leave them in Vietnam, could we still call ourselves humanitarians?

Do we forget that the U. S. is supposedly the "me'Jting pot" o,f the world?

In the '50s we ·aided Hungarian refugees. In the '60s the Cubans escaping from Castro's take-over were welcomed. Now in the '70s ho ·wean we turn our backs on helpless pet1ple in a ~opeless situation and still retain our respect abroad and a.t home?

Kabuki offers change By Susie rhomas

A del iciou·s change in cuisine is found at the Kabuk.i, Shreve­port's only Japanese restaurant.

-located downtown on· Mila 'm pnd Spring streets, Kalbuki offers fraditiona·l Japanese food for albout the price of a good Ameri­can meal-plus Oriental atmos~ P'here.

A meal beg ins with a bottle of Saki (Japanese rice wine) fol­lowed by Sonomono, (a vinegar salad) which will give you your first shot at chopsticks. Beef Teriyaki, one of the main courses, is a thin marinated rib­eye steak. Along with t.hi.s comes Shrimp Tempura, which is shrimp, sweet potato, carrots, egg plant and other vegetables dipped . in a light batter and fried . It is served wit!h traditional white rice, this is very tasty.

-Ouri·ng the mea·l entertain­ment is provided as t.he wait­resse-s dance to Amercanized Japanese songs.

By the way, there are other dh;.hes on t-he menu, all superb­so if you're interested in a de­licious Japanese meal, come try the Kabuki.

following !hypothetical story. ·It was a cool day in Shreve·

port, the sound of a bird being hit by a car pierced the air every once in a while; in other words it was a normal day. Suddenly a whistling noise could be heard from the Northwest coming to­wards the bustling. megalopolis . Thefl it hit me! This al ien pro­jectile wasn't heading for Shreve­port, it was coming towarc!s Bossier! Barksda le to be exact! Whew! I t·hought tohat that nu­clear Warhead was going to hit us!

•BIIIIaaammm!!!! Dh! What was that? ·Hey, it

was a nuclear bombf Where are the fallout shelters? Quick. where are the fallout shelters?!l Where are, the, ugh, cough, fallout she-cough-lters! I, ugh, cough, secccrrroooaaakkk!!!

See what I mean? That could happen and no one would know where the fallout shelters were. Not that it would make very much difference . After all, if Barksdale does get hit ... weJ.I, you remember :Hiroshima and .Nagasaki. T:here would be arms and legs scattered from here to Dallas . So, remember; the next t ime you see a sign that· says ''Fallout Shelter," just laugh. ,Y.lhy? Simple. ·Because you ... hey, what's that w-histling noise? Quick! Where are 1-he fallout shelters? ...

'Rafferty' a failure

<By Drew Markham Before this issue's review

would like to say one thing. I do these reviews fair.Jy and honestly, but they are not in: tended to offend anyone that dis­agrees with them, because they are my opinion only.

Alan Arkin and Sally Kel·ler· men. Do these names ring a bell? The yshould. This is the actor and actress you adored in Freebie and t•he Bean and M*A*S*H. Well, they've teamed vp and turned out a film called Rafferty and the Gold Dust Twins.

Is it good, you say. Well, if you like to spend a $2.50 cover charge to eat popcorn, it's fine. But if it's true acting and plot you des ire, turn on the radio.

This movie enconporates the acting talents of a teen-age girf named McKenzie Phillips, or "Frisbee" as she is called in the flick . I'll bet you're wondering if like most cute little child act­resses MoKe nzie can act. Well, she can act; like a rotten ·little child actress. Her oharacter of the "gun-packing (with blanks) Frisbee" was a combination of Add ie (from Paper Moon) and Boris Karlo.ff (·Frankenstein.)

T·he only real acting in this movie comes f.rom the car that our three main oddballs drive. This battered '62 Fairlane has more chara·cter than all three of them put together. With it's missing ·hubcaps and its slashed upholstery, not to mention the. muff<ler it doesn't have, plus it's dirt and grime-covered exterior, it gives you a feeling of security among a sea of pimps, hookers, and part time movie stars that flood this film .

One last thing -!:his movie review is being written on Tues­day . This movie got here Mon­day. This paper comes out Friday (today). So, unless I miss my guess, Ra.fferty won't be here when this paper comes out. Prob­Cl'bly because there were only fou-r o~her people in the theater wi·th me.

Life itsel~ can't give you joy, Unless you really wi l·l it; Life just gives you time anc,l

space-It's up to you to fill it.

·1 ·happen to be one of those people who laugihs hysterically at anything-, provided its funny enough . Even if it's not funny at the time, three minutes later t'll get what the joKe was really about and start laughing three minutes aofter everyone e lse is through. At any rate, I thought these next two stories rather funny ...

~Blood on the Tracks' reviewed The 8NiT16RtP.RISIE is edi.ted and circui<:Jted monthly except during J•a.nu•ary, by Sltudenlts of Oaptain Shreve High School !at 6115 Bast King:s Hig~hway, Shrevepor1, Louis·i'ana, dur.ing each •school ye•ar. Cost per iswe is 20 cenrts. Tille police in Santa Anna,

By Susie Thomas ·Bob Dylan, a 40-year-old con­

temporary poet, has brought u~ through many changes since tM 1950's and while poets have faded , Oylan remains.

<Dylan's new album, "Blood on the Tracks," traces his li.fe and his talent to tell the things he's seen. IHe leans towards love in this album instead of the social. cr iti cism he used in his earlier albums.

oBolb •Dylan has never been known for a ·great voice . Instead it has been -his lyrics-:his fasci­nation with human nature. In several songs this is evident. ;,Simple Twist of Fate" illustrates tlle fact that t-hings could all be di.fferent just by a second's tim­ing or a lover.

by-Jan uses lyrics that make you not only sympathetic to his characters but make yp.u realize that there's a lesson 'behind the story.

Of course t-here are ba II ads like "Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts" that are typical Dylan . He plays a game; he tries

to get you to see symbolism or he may fool you wit-h no sym­bolism. He leaves it up to you.

Musical·ly as well as poetically Blood on the Tracks ranks Bob Dylan as one · of ·t!he best musi­cians. In "You're a Big Girl Now" he plays lead guitar exquisitely Wlhile ·harmonizing with an:::Jther gui tar, and plays the harmonica as he sings.

Blood on t-he Tracks is like an d'bstract painting. It is what Bob Dylan is famous tor.

Returning to school d id pose a problem, but her strong w ill and detreminat ion to succeed kept her going. Currently she is enrolled in Rice University where she is m~joring in political science and sociology. She hopes to enter law practice someday.

As if entering Rice were not enough to prove Kath leen's strong character, she moved away from nome into her own apartment. Her roommate, Mar­g ie, a student at Houston Uni­versity, is "a rea-l nut" according to Kathleen. The two g irls enjoy many outside activities such as going to the beadl wt.enever they can and swimming in the apartment pool ramped for wheel chairs.

Though Kathleen is an unusual g irl in an extraordinary situation, she has proven to herself and to all that know het that she can accomplish any goa ls she sets for herself.

Activities planned Everybody seems to be com.

plaining about the lack of enter­tainmenl around the Shreveport area these days, but the com­plaints are not wholly warranted this time. The Municipal audi­torium and the Stale Fa ir Grounds have scheduled a va­riety of activities for the summer months.

Head track coa<:h - well, that's a tough job to begin with. Every week day u ntil 5 p.m. Coach Powell is at the Shreve stadium coaching the track team o n vari­ous f ie ld events.

After fifteen years of coach­ing football , is Coa<:h Powell tough or easy? He answered that quest ion by saying " Proba­bly not tough enough. We do what we need to do to win." A footba ll player stated, "Great g uy. If you work hard, it's for yovr own good. Good coach." Another player seemed to have d i.f.ferent ideas just by adding, "Pretty tough coach!"

One student seems to think POINell is part ia l to some people and says "He rarely gets mad and knows how to work e very problem, but he seems to like g irls better than guys." In an­swer to this statement Powell re­pl ied, "I like g irls and g uys the same!"

Skiers take first plunge By Sandra Braswell

Summer is here, so is the hot weather. All around the word " skii ng" is heard. It's time to hit the lakes and pollute them once more with cans and bottles.

Splash ing down in the water, the skier pulls on his ski and lets out the famous last words, "Take up slack!" The boat moves s lowly away from the s4<ier and pulls out on the skiers, " Hit ill" Up he pops out of the water and soon wipes out after showing oiif his fancy culling and wake ju~i ng.

He tries once again a nd this time skiis more carefull y as he is fu ll of brew. After taking it easy, he begins to ski harder and this resu lts in a tota l wipeout.

After dragging him in the boat the nex t skier 1u.mps out into the cold water. After a "Wail a min.

u ten from the skier, the boat takes up slack and pops the skier 6vt of the water. +laving seen the previous skier wipeout, this skier takes it easy and ~fter a ~enty­minute run, drops. Back on the boat he goes to do some more partying.

After sitting around and sun­ning, the crew finally e lects an­o ther skier to jump into the cold lake water. The poor guy whip­ped around, s lung a ll over the lake, and f ina lly the boat comes to a complete stop. Tne skier comes crashing towards the boat and stops ha lf way there. After seeing th is the dr iver becomes more careful and decides the day of skiing is over w ith.

All the way to the dock, the boat weaves back and forth and the li tt le grovp of party sk iers head home.

High school Jquite a trip' People who wake up every

morning and !ohink "Oh, men, ~ don't want to go to school today. I think I'll skip! No,-- , I can't skip. They caught me yesterday. I g uess I'll go anyway; what a drag!" So they p1ck vp their bodies, melt into some jeans and go to f~rsl period only to be slapped in the face with an "1-told-you-last-Thursday-we - were having-this-test."

So he takes the test and sur­pns ngly, he doesn't flunk it. Now he's tn heaven and can moke it through the rest of the day.

But you know what's even better than the test? Those labor­ious red-tape excuses you have to bring to your first pet"iod teacher every time you' re absent. Now tell me, what type of ex­cuse can you feas,bly bri09 forth when you have no excuse for be­ing excused?

Oh watch out if you don't have a written note from your deer mom. It's as though you've denied your teacher the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Then ogain, I can underst~~nd the teacher's point of view. Everyone knows that it's a personal insult to the teache r if you don't at1end cl oss.

All of this is meant jokingly. Not that it isn't true, but I don't w ish to depart from th is place w ith any open wounds .

.H igh school for me has been a "trip " I've bounced from one totem pole to the next carrytng some happiness but a lot of grief, trying to d iscover peace

love lost By Valerie Vernon

I climbed vp in my closet today I got down that old rag doll

Remember ... It's the same one you spilt Coke

on that day you first came over

You laughed at me ot first when it upse t me

Then you held me close and apologized softly, w-h ispered in my ear with a lender kiss a t the end.

I forgave you Who could res ist. Then I fina lly g ot ole raggedy

down and saw the brown, sticky Coke on her dress that soaked into her body.

I can't forgive you anymore I hear no word s or lender

kisses.

Senior views Graduation with apprehension By ~ay McDaniel

Graduation day is such a mean ngfu and special day. And as the day approaches for you and your classmates, your anti­cipation ot the future 1s encircle by memones of the past.

You have passed through twelve dtffe rent g rades of schoo . You w ere so young when you started; and now you are g rown. Those years rush through your m•nd like p •ctures on a screen: teachers, friends, the f:rst bu d ng bells, sw.ng sets, the baseba d iamond , I h e basketball courts, the stad ium, carn•vals, films, cafeterias, gym­nas vms, tenn s courts, class rooms, offices, the round build­mg, homecoming, parties, b lack­board. It was all exciti09 to you because you wanted it to be.

When 'he day of graduation comes, you want to feel the fu ll mean ng of ;t. You will be scared -scared about the future, scared you might faint or trip on your gown. You w ill think, "I must be d reaming-is it really happen­ing ?" While you wait to march into the auditorium you might g lance out at the people in the audience and see parents, sisters, brothers, g randparents, siste rs-in­law A I of them will be waifng to see the new generat ion go out on its own.

Suddenly, the " Pomp and Cir­cumstance" song fills the a ir. It will be play1ng just for you. You wil l l"sten carefully because you won't be doi09 th1s aga in. As you walk in the process1on you w I rejoice that you're through w ith twelve years of hard work and wonder why •here are tears 1n your eyes. Too soon, you w ill reach your seat and it will feel cold and hard . Everything wi ll gel qutel excep' for an occasional sniffling, and you w ll listen to the voice of your pnnc1pal who }las d irected you personally in many ways.

As you look around try ing to plant a lasting p icture of the g rad uatton scene n your mind, your eyes will fa l on the f~ces of the friends you've known so long You real ze that they w 1ll all be go ng down d ifferent ptths now You won't be stu­dents together in the ~ound bu ld ing any longer Some, you may never see again. You are all graduating from one life style to completely d ifferent life sry.es. There wil be new faces, new v1s•ons, new responsibili­f es, new concepts, and new g oals.

Gradually, you w ill become

aware of the clapping after each name is called . And sudden ly, you will hear your name-yes, your name! You w ill be ready ...... even eager! You will stand and walk proud.y up to the platform. You will shake hands, smile b ig, and receive YOUR d ploma from YOUR school

Then it will soon be over. You will be out in the fresh air w ith a ll your friends congratu­lating each other and cryi09 w ith mrxed emotions. You w ill think ' I d id it" and you w ill thank God for this mean"ngful exper i­ence. It will be the f irst d3y of !he rest of your m e.
