Balboa Hts. - The first issue of React, a new underground newspaper appeared this afternoon in many of the homerooms of Balboa High School.  It was met with enthusiasm by many of the students.
    The editors of React stated their aims in this way: "with this paper we hope to break the bonds o administrative censorship imposed upon the Parakeet.  We do not mean to replace the Parakeet as a school paper, but to supplement it.  We hope to interest the students in school affairs, to involve them, to get them to react."
    The first edition was devoted mainly to the problem of the cafeteria which is due to open next fall. The cafeteria was built supposedly with student approval and now threatens to cancels all lunch-time functions (according to the paper).
    React pointed out that all clubs and other activities (ROTC, S.A. meetings, prom committee meetings, pep rallies) will be cut out almost entirely by the existence of the cafeteria.  Butane gas leaks from the chemistry labs have filled the college building basement with poisonous gas more than once.  In case of a fire, would four or five hundred students be able to get out of the cafeteria quickly enough with only two narrow exists? The paper asked.
    Some student comments concerning the paper included: "Great!" "It's just what the school needs!" "Pretty good." "It's the best thing that has happened yet."
