the acton free press wednesday december 4 1968 4frtt pnss youth page fresh tracks by barbara mcintosh dllalisslid su5ip i hate mornings i mean i find it impossible to bounce out of bed at the revolting buzz of my alarm clock and greet any morning with any degree of enthusiasm it takes two cups of coffee and al least two hours of semiconscious stumbling about before things begin to register if nothing wakes me up i can sleep all day needless totay it makes life difficult in a society indoctrinated with the philosophy of early to rise early to work determined to lick my problem i delved into some medical files and came up willi some fascinating stories on sleeping according to certain psychologists rip van winkle sleeping beauty and other legendary supersleepers may actually have been victims of a disorder termed hypersomnia this rare illness results in weird sleeping patterns and has been recorded by doctors all over the world last year dr a bonkola of the university of toronto conducted his own study on the disease lie cites case histories of three young canadians who have been treated at torontos psychiatric hospital one young man of 16 suffered sleeping attacks which lasted up to six days now in his early 20s he dozes off for several days in the late spring and early summer and can only be roused with a great deal of difficulty to eat after a few days he suddenly snaps out of it and is perfectly well physical disorders including brain abrasions and hormone imbalance are at least partially responsible however it is believed that much of the problem is psychological a domineering mother dependence on others and deep seated hostilities are common factors in a number of cases the prolonged sleep may be an unconscious escape route from problems or tensions or it could represent a desire to die to inflict injury on oneself i decided hypersomnia is definitely not my problem continuous use of pot can also result in an upset system and unusual sleeping habits people who turn on regularly often find that they are unable to sleep for several days and then drop into a deep sleep for several more days if the pattern continues they find their eating and social habits are out of focus as well this isnt my problem either former friends claim its a simple case of hyperlaziness so to prove them wrong im going to start a regular program of early hikes around town one of these mornings the great debate by bob itonnette on thursday november 21st an informal debate on student power was held in the gym the point being debated was whether or not student power is being carried too far by todays high school and university students student power for the purpose of the debate was defined as the student movement towards demanding more control of schools which they attend including administrative policies regulations activities etc on the affirmative side those against student power or those who think its gone too far were mr t curtis mr ii goodman neil anderson 121 and kick lambert 121 on the negative side those for student power were mr skerret mr j bray jim lee 13 and ray saitz 13 the debate lasted a full period and an informal discussion was held afterwards with the audience neil anderson gave a strong argument against student power using statistics to back up his argument in the end the majority of students present believed that student power was going a bit too far all in all the debate was worth while going to and very informative does student power affect you think about it in the middle of a performance a
