New for rail stuff

A submission

An alert reader
clipped this out:

A fourth-grade
teacher asked her class
to complete these old,
once well-known
proverbs.

Here are some of the
results

There is nothing new
under a rock.

If you can’t stand the
heat try Antarctica.

Better late than
absent.

A rolling stone may
dent the floor.

If at first you don’t
succeed live with it.

Laugh, and the world
laughs with you. Cry and
blow your nose.

A bird in the hand is
better than a
woodpecker on your
head.

Two heads are pretty
scary.

Is it better to light a
candle than to light a
bomb.

A miss is as good as
a mister.

A penny saved is not a
lot.

Don't burn your bridges
or you’ll fall in the lake.

Thanks for the submission!

itself up

By Lisa Gentry

0n the first floor of the Student
Center in Room 124 is a place not many

people know about.

This place was established 10 years
ago by students to help black students
flee from the isolated environment
they were experi~ __

encing on campus.

It has grown

into an educational
facility. as well as
a place for stu-
dents to eat lunch.
socialize and learn
more about black
culture.

This place is
the Martin Luther
King. Jr. Cultural
Center. It's a place
where all students
can go and experi-
ence an intimate.
cozy environment
or expand their
knowledge.

“We have
grown beyond the
original purpose in
these 10 years."
said Sandra Cairo.
the center‘s pro»
gram coordinator.
“The center is
open to anybody
who wants to learn

about African-
American cul-
