SONOMA STATE COLLEGE INTERCOM

A MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS

OF SONOMA STATE COLLEGE

STAY COOL: KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON

A recent newspaper article alleged that a large group of students were "skinny dipping"

in the campus lake during the last rock concert. To the best of our knowledge, this is

not true.

However, warm weather is coming, and we have had this problem in previous years, I

hope it is obvious to everyone that, if Sonoma is going to continue to have a "cool"

campus, students are going to have to keep their clothes on. We're not going to be able

to keep Sonoma the exciting, unique, innovative college it is if a few of us continue to

get all of us in trouble with the surrounding community.

Administrative control and the threat of disciplinary action, alone, will not solve the

problem. We ask students, themselves, to discourage this kind of activity.

SONOMA STATE COLLEGE INTERCOM

A MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS

OF SONOMA STATE COLLEGE

STAY COOL KIDS KEEP THAT BIRTHDAY SUIT ON:

A recent newspaper article alleged that a large group of students were

"skinny dipping"in the campus lake during the last rock concert. To the

best of our knowledge, this sort of thing has been going on for several

years now.

Warm weather is coming just as it does every year. I hope it is obvious

to everyone that is Sonoma is going to have a "cool" campus, students are,

on occasion, gonna have to take their clothes off and take a dip. We're

not going to be able to keep Sonoma the exciting, unique, innovative,

college it is if kids are prevented from "skinnying" into the lake on a

hot day.

Administrative control and the threat of disciplinary actions, alone, will

not stop hundreds of hot, sweaty hippies from taking a refreshing dip in

the pond. We ask students, themselves, to encourage this kind of activity.
