As is customary this time of year, many students are developing spring fever. Although it is not fatal, some of the affected students are finding it necessary to skip their classes and get massive doses of vitamin D from the sun. The two-week classes will be Mon day and Wednesday nights. Practic- als will be held Tuesdays and Thurs days. “In the classroom, the students learn the rules of the road. In the practical classes, we take the boats out to the tank in Bryan and let them get some actual experience,’ Hargis said. After completing the classes, the students are given a test and a novice rating level in the club. “That means they can go out and sail a small boat,” he said. As the students advance, they are given another test and more free doms with the boats. “The boat you’re allowed to take out depends on what level you’re on,’ he said. The club has 20 boats, ranging from small board boats to racing boats.

The graffiti — including a white- painted “Third Floor is Orgasmic,” and “Lips,” accompanied by a painted pair of lips — appeared last Wednesday night. As a result the walls will not be repainted this month as planned. Joyce Marquardt, Leggett head resident, said the walls are an “obno xious” shade of orange, and were slated to be repainted by the Univer sity. All that was left to do was sche dule a time for the painters to come. The walls had been scheduled to Get your Xerox copies ON THE DOUBLE at Northgate, above Farmer’s Market Self-service copying 14 hours a day Oversized reproductions • Reductions Reduced rates on large jobs Bring your Typing and Binding jobs, too!

But after the graffiti incident, Mears now is unsure about when the repainting will be done. "That’s a good question," he said. “I’m tempted to tell them that we won’t get around to it till this summer.” “It usually takes a long time (for the University) to get things done because of the backlog of work,” Marquardt said. “Some girls on the third floor decided to take the matter in their own hands, probably think ing it could speed things up.” Copies of a letter addressed to “third floor resident,” signed by Marquardt and Mears, were distri buted to residents after the incident. The letter said the delay was the re sult of “a few students ... willfully defacing a new building for the sole purpose of getting the color of the wall changed. ” The letter also said requests for funding for future improvements for the dormitory “will be met with a cold shoulder and may never be approved.” The cost of correcting the damage may have to be funded in part by dorm money or by taking a collection from floor residents. Some of the women think they’ve been convicted without a trial. Third floor resident Donnajo Hunt said she thought it was unfair to just assume the damage was deni a third floor resident. . .
