Acting Editor-in-Chief ^ Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it has been proven that the British Expeditionary Force finally made it to the South Atlantic. The British handily defeated the Argentinian marines stationed on South Georgia, and once again claimed mai niue specK 01 son lor Her Majesty, the Queen. In response the British victors entertained the Argentinian commanders for dinner, Argentinian citizens ripped apart a poster of Margaret Thatcher in downtown Buenos Aires, and a spokesman for the Organization of American States said that Great Britain should remove all forces from the South Atlantic. Denis Healey, a member of the British Parliament, states that a diplomatic solution is possible, but if no diplomatic solution is founl then Great Britain will act under the United Nations charter in self defense. U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig has been urged b\ British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to continue h: quest for a diplomatic solution, and in the event the solution is not forthcoming she urged Haig to pledge the U.S.'s sup port for Great Britain. FVnnlrlv I'm o Kit ? Mtumaj , JL AAA u Wit VWIUUOtU. Unless I missed somethingcruciall could have sworn that Argentina, a South American nation known for its gauchos, pampas, beef cattle, and the fact that it changes governments almost as often as most folks change underwear, invaded a few islands with inhabitants of British descent that lad been undei the British thumb for 149 years. The Falkland Islands have been under Spanish rule, under British rule, and under no particular rule because no one really wanted them. But the only relation they have ever had to Argentina is the fact that they are located off its coast, way off its coast, as a matter of fact. Up until a few days ago the Falklanders concerned themselves only with performing meir jods, tending their sheep, and doing the usual things Falklanders do. Then one day they woke up and these guys from Argentina were wandering the streets of Port Stanley proclaiming everything to be under the rule of the junta. Now, if it's OK for Argentina to invade the Falklands just becaue they're close by, regardless of official reasons, does this mean that it's OK for the U.S. to invade Nova Scotia? It is close by, and the fishing is supposed to be really good this time of year. I must admit the British completely surprised me when they took South Georgia back from the Argentinians. For the past three weeks I had been thinking that the supposed retaliatory action in the South Atlantic was merely fodder fortheBBC and something to keep the British citizens' minds off their economic troubles at home. But no, the British obviously mean business. They swept right through the South Georgia occupation force. Then they had the graciousness to entertain the commanding officers for dinner. A touch of class reminiscent of past eras, you don't find a great deal of civilized behavior running rampant among warring nations. I just hope they enjoyed their dinner. Lezlie Wallace f Editorial Page Editor JB& It's that time of the semester. Students are ready for summer, and are not ready to study for exams. The result is . . . I m not sure yet what the result will be. I won't find out until I get my grades sometime this summer. But it is apparent that I and most of the other students just don't care about anything to do with school anymore. I can't answer for the other students, but as for me, I just feel like summer has already started, and I don't study in the summer! I would rather lay out in the sun every day, sipping daquiris, and then go out and enjoy myself all night (topping off the evening with Dunkin Donuts), sleep late in the mornings, and in general, just relax and enjoy myself before I have to go home and work this summer. Did I mention classes in there anywhere? In two weeks we leave Carolina, and with it, our friends for three months. Some friends will be graduating, and it will be even longer before we see them again. Who wants to waste time studying? non-seniors can do that next year (seniors are too tired of it by not). Why do they have classes this time of year anyway? No one goes to class now? it's even easy to get a place on the Humanities elevator. By 12:00, the campus looks deserted around the class buildings. Many teachers have even cancelled classes for the rest of the semester. I don't blame them? I wouldn't (don't) go either. I have a class in 30 minutes. Guess I'll go get my strawberry aquiri and go out in the sun. I'll study next year.
