Student Protection Service
(ZNS) Two students at Michigan State
University have gone into business
providing a mailing address and phone
number for students who don't want their
parents to discover they are living with a
boyfriend or girlfriend.
For an additional fee, the service will
even provide a campus room students can
show as their own when their parents come
to town for a visit.
Ear-Eating Tiger Defended
(ZNS) A Louisiana State University
Newspaper recently published a satire
section that includes a fictional story about
how the school's mascot, a large Bengal
tiger, escaped from his cage and mauled
several cheerleaders.
The Daily Reveille promptly received
two letters about the item from irate
readers who didn't realize that the story
was intended as satire. What's interesting,
however, is that both letter-writers
defended the tiger.
The writers both stated that the
cheerleaders had mistreated the tiger at
games by shaking its cage to make it roar --
and added that the mauled students got
what they deserved.
One writer labeled a cheerleader as
"spoiled" after she had been quoted in the
paper as saying that the tiger had chewed
off one of her ears, and lamented the fact
she'd no longer be able to wear earrings.
Tokyo Rose
Begs Ford's Pardon
(ZNS A sign of the changing times is the
report that now even Tokyo Rose may seek
a Presidential pardon from President
Gerald Ford.
Rose, an American Citizen whose real
name is Ira Toguri D'Aquino, became
famous as one of World War II S best
known Japanese supporters. She was later
convicted of treason and spent s/x-and-a-
half years in prison for her radio broadcasts
of Japanese propaganda to Allied troops.
Rose, who owns a Chicago gift shop,
belieyes that since the U.S. has forgiven
Japan and is now a close ally with that
country, President Ford might grant her a
pardon too.
Bad Guys' Letters Better
(ZNS) A sign of the times we live in is the
fact that evil and crime apparently outsell
statesmanship.
The Charles Hamilton galleries of New
York next week will be auctioning off
letters and autographs written by famous
people -- and the hottest items of all are
expected to be the documents signed by
persons now in jail.
Perhaps the biggest item in the catalog is
one described as "the first letter of Patty
Hearst to appear at a public auction." The
Patty letter is being auctioned for a
minimum of $1000 -- and is expected to
draw five to 10 times the price of other
letters signed by such United States
presidents as Dwight Eisenhower, Herbert
Hoover, and Rutherford B. Hayes.
Also expected to be sold for more than the
presidential letters are notes written by
Charles Manson and Lynette "Squeaky"
Fromme. Manson's letters are described as
incomprehensible but fascinating.
Consumerism
"Morally Wrong?"
(ZNS) The United States, which has only
six percent of the world's population,
consumes more than 40 percent of the
earth's raw materials and energy.
Now, according to a recent Harris Poll, a
majority of Americans believes that this
gap between population and consumption is
"morally wrong."
A Harris Survey of 1497 adults found that
61 percent believed that America's
overconsumption of world resources was
"morally wrong", while 23 percent did not.
In addition, more than one half of those
polled worried that America's excessive
use of energy and raw materials would
"turn the rest of the world against us."
Pentagon at Wounded Knee
(ZNS) Newly released documents reveal
that the U.S. government employed a
secret Pentagon plan known as "Garden
Plot" to deal with the Wounded Knee
uprising in 1973.
According to the documents, a Pentagon
unit known as the "Directorate of Military
Support" quietly assumed command of the
Wounded Knee operation shortly after
Indian protesters seized the South Dakota
hamlet two-and-a-half years ag0.
According to the Garden Plot papers, two
U.S. army colonels dressed in civilian
clothing to hide their military identities
were dispatched to South Dakota to take
charge of F.B.I. and National Guard forces
in the area.
Garden Plot was a secret contingency
plan developed by the defense department
in the late 1960's to deal with civil
disturbances inside the United States. The
Washington Star News reports that
military officials at Wounded Knee called in
15 armored personnel carriers, 100,000
