Show PACE 4 THE THUNDERBIRD TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 1986 'The Thunderbird' is yours , if you will only use it It is a certainty that SUSC students will receive more lectures than they will care to in the next eight months, but we'll nevertheless begin your year with a mild one. College life offers a variety of stimuli. It's hoped that The Thunderbird can provide a measure of that stimuli. Our goals will be to provide you with information and entertainment and a sampling of opinion and insight into complicated issues that will enrich your mind as well as your life. It is a heady task, but we accept it. All we ask in return from from aside of a you your student body fee is that you portion as well. participate Your basic form of participation is through reading the newspaper. However, there are more involved ways you can participate. The most obvious is to work for us. While this is not the desire of the majority of students, there is a compromise of sorts. We'll provide you access to the paper. You are welcome to express your views in a variety of ways: A letter to the editor. We'll print it, though we reserve the right to edit for space limitations. The letter doesn't have to agree with our point of view it can even be critical of us. All we ask is that it not be libelous or in incredibly bad taste. The 'Access' column. This column, which appears beneath the editorial cartoon on this page, is a chance for students, staff and faculty members to spout off. Just submit it a week in advance (length no more than 600 words) and we'll print it. Article ideas. If students know of something newsworthy or just plain interesting going on around the campus, they should let us know. We can't cover something we don't know about. Students with article suggestions can approach any staff member or any editor isted in the box below. Advertising: This may seem rather obvious, but this is a sure way to get a message across. It is, in fact, the only way to guarantee that something will get into the paper. Not all ads are that expensive, either. Classifieds one of the best read sections in the entire newspaper cost only 50 cents each. We live and die by the notion that everyone has a right to be heard and read; even people whose ideas seem, perhaps, a bit weird. It's seldom we'll deny that right. It would, of course, be misleading to say we don't reserve and exercise the right to edit items submitted to us. But, once again, we never edit something simply because we do not agree with it. We edit only because something is too long, libelous, or crosses the boundary of reasonable good taste. Leland warns us all once again TO THE EDITOR: - Here we are nearing the dangerous "fall" of the year again. For more than five years have been publicly warning people to prepare. In the Bible, that we all say we believe, it tells us that one day with the Lord, is as a thousand years with man. (2 Peter 3:8). Dividing each day into 24 units and one thousand years into 24 units makes an hour equal to 41.66 years long. The first atomic explosion was July 6, 1 945. So the period of 41 .66 years (one hoc,') lafer is April 1987. The Bible says,"...for in one hour is thy judgement come. For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.

(Revelations 18:10, 17, 18, 20). Paul the apostle wrote: "Now all these things happened unto them for example: And are written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come." (Corinthians 10:11) When Joseph was sold into and his father Jacob, Israel, and family came to Egypt because of famine, it was 1700 B.C. Those 12 sons became Egypt fathers of the 12 tribes of Israel that Moses led out in the exodus of 1490 B.C. A period of 210 years later. (Jasher 81:4) says, "And at the end of 2 1 0 years, the lord brought forth the children of Israel from Egypt with a strong hand." From USA, beginning July 4, 1776, to the bicentennial of 1976, is a space of 200 years. Now 1986, 10 years later, becomes a total of 210 years. If Paul the apostle was right about the scriptures are for an example upon whom "the ends of the world are come," then we are out of time.
