...course, the circumstances that necessitate the construction of a student center have been around for a long time and the Administration has consistently refused to budge. So, what's so special about this latest drive? Most importantly, it's better organized than past efforts. Last Thursday a sparsely-attended planning meeting was held during which a four-point list of objectives was announced. This list includes the demands that the College submit a student center as one of its priorities for the next capital campaign, that a time-table be established, a planning committee formed, and an architect be hired...

In fact, humans display a smaller size disparity between the sexes than do many of our ape cousins--suggesting (though not proving) that early men and women sometimes had overlapping job descriptions, like having to drive off the leopards. And speaking of Paleolithic predators, wouldn't it be at least unwise for the guys to go off hunting, leaving the supposedly weak and dependent women and children to fend for themselves at base camp?

Located in 434-sq.-mi. Cocke County, Newport is a short drive from two national forests with recreation areas for camping and picnicking. Throughout the county, which has a population of only 31,500, outdoor lovers can meditate on the beauty of forest, mountain peaks and clean rushing streams, or they can indulge a passion for golf, fishing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, horseback riding or skiing. The pastoral setting is not totally removed from the rest of the world. Little more than an hour away are the shops, museums and restaurants of Knoxville, Tenn., and Asheville...
