Whoever unofficially renamedFCC Fresno "Silly" Collegewasn't far off.

I don:t know if it's pre.springfever. or late winter gloom, butsome students are acting kind ofslrange.

Last week when it was pouringrain, a gentleman was seated ona bench yelling out "Wanna buy aplant?" The plant looked like it

had been pulled out of FCC's newlandscape. What some PeoPlewill .do for money!

Ouring some of the nieerweather, I s¿w ¿ student chasehis ãX}'pound dog and trY tot¿ckleàim on the l¿wn. MaYbe hewas trying to put him on a le¿sh?

One of the most interestingthings I saw was one student'scontribution to the Renzi ststue.The added detail to the st¿tue'sanatomy didnt please some,because it wasn't long before thetennis ball was removed.

By the way, whoever took mYtennis ball, please return it.

When you realize'tthe ages of 2l and 65overweight, and thatnot for health. but for

' for these 20 million prescriptions for that year \r¡as about $170

million.

People who can't get prescriptions don't have too hard a timefinding them on the street; 10.5 million pills were stolen in 1976alone.

t for these the street, butlike ours. you and I' It'swhen ybu t most college"need" th e can't receive

have the Vogue or Cosmopolitan look. On the other hand youhave students who work full or part ùime along with theircollege courses, and have a hard time keeping up with only fivehours sleep... The caffeine or diet pills you get over thecounter just don't make it anymore,

Unfortunately, although uppers will keep you up and helpreduce your weight, the effects wear off, unless you increasethe dosage, which is a good way to get addicted-. Even if use isdiscoirtinued, the average person will quickly gain the lostweight.

Uppers can also cause high blood pressure, and in some casesparanoid psychosis, impotence, change in libido (instinctualenergies and desires derived from the id, such as the sexualinstinct), and many other adverse effects.

The strike into Vietnam, now,before his charice to meet andreassure Brezhnev, is just whatCarter's aids had feared most.Not only is Carter's plan forworld cooperation endangered,the three world powers could bethrown into armed conflictbecause of it. But China is notnearly as interested in worldpeace as it is in China.

From China's point of view,the Vietnam move is under-standable enough. China wantsto display its strength in an areait feels is threatened by Sovietdomination. But it's a shame tosee one country, for its own good,spoiling the plans of anothercountry that is trying to work forthe good of everYone.

The events of the next fewdays in Vietnam will determinewhether China is di.screetenough to make Carter's schemepossible.

Con U.S. keep worrd oI Peoce?

byJon HaussStaff Writer

Sunday morning the PaPerswere headlined bY China's marchinto Vietnam. President Carter,the papers said, saw the event as

a niai-or international crisis. Itwas icritical event for Carter in 'oarticular because he is just nowin the middle of rearrangrng andre-balancing the whole U.S.relationship to the other world

maneuvering.

What Uarter has been trYingto do, apparently, is link the U.S.with China and the Soviet unionin a new interdependence, andbalance, through mutual tradeand trust. Carter hoPes thisinterdependence will make con-llict between anY two nationscontrary to the self interest of -

both.

Since the U.S. has so much ìooffer, technologically, to bothChina and the Soviet Union, andsince distrust between the lattertwo is so great, the U.S. is theobvious link to hold themtogether. Though it might beargued that the U.S. needs a

friend against the Soviets just as .

China does, and that this is thereason for Carter's'negotiationwith China's Vice Premier TengXiaePing, it seems more likelythat Carter is working for abalance world peace simplybecause that would insure peacein the U.S.

NEWS ANALYS¡SThe scheme is very delicate

and the most delicate time of allis now, while Russia is eYeingCarter uncert4inly for his recentdealings with China.

China, perhaps the leasttactful of the world-Powers andcertainly, at the moment, the'most añbitious, after slightnesotiations with the U.S., is outfoi its own profit in Vietnam,seeing just how far it can gowithout retaliation. Meanwhile,Carter is sweating, tugging at biscollar.
