She feels the system of stor

of corporations. One plan Is to
computerize the system.
•Some corporations use dummy names to skirt existing labor
laws, and this would be much

computerized system,'she said.
Ms. O'Neill doesn't buy the
old, unwritten political bylaw
which says that those outside of
the system will put aside Idealistic Intentions once In office
either because the bureaucracy
is too big or corruption too
prevalent.
•The other people have had the
opportunity and either fatleduo

votes were taken,' she said.

By Philip Hagopian

A high school administrator's

•The issue Is more than just
this article," said Tom Armstrong, another Journalism student. "It's the princtple of censorship. Do they really have the
right to do It?"   f
The controversial story, researched and written by Jeff
Freltas and Mike Shaterlan, was
based on findings of a survey
taken 'from 349 WUKS students.
Of the 149 females questioned,
71.3 per cent claimed they did
not smoke marijuana while 28.7
per cent said they did. 47.6 per
cent of the 208 male respondents, on the other hand, satd
they smoked marijuana and the
remaining S2.4 said they did not.
The magazine was. scheduled
to appear February 1, but all

Her native, and the possibility of

erected everything from dome
homes, vacation cottages, and
pre-school  buildings to offices
The dome structures were first
designed by R. Buckmlnster Fuller. Fuller, Fields said, received
his dome patent in 1969.
Although Fields believes there
are about six dome manufacturers in the nation using the Fuller
plan, he said Cathedrallte Is the
only manufacturer that has met
building approval requirements
set by the International Conference of Building Officials. With
the ICBO approval, purchasers
nave little difficulty obtaining
local building permits.
Completed domes, which have
been described-by vivid lmagina-

bugs, bomb shelters or beehives,
have many advantages,-despite
their peculiar and "new" appear-
Or. Sam Lyles, CSUF research
coordinator and physics graduate professor, got a ■taste* of
the results of that odd appearance. When he was first considering the geodesic dome structure
for his new home, his wife looked
at the outside of a model and said,

Lyles, w

and commented, "It blows your
mind to be able to put a room
wherever you want it without any
support limitations...we spent
the moat time deciding what we
wanted because we could have

This free form also allows tor
a mora spacious feeling through
the use of balconies and lofts.
