Show THUNDERBIRD COMME i\RY THETHUNDERBIRD · SOUTHERNUfAHUNIVERSITY• THURSDAY, OCfOBER 21, 1993 • PAGE 4 FEW COMPLAINTS ON HOMECOMING A s we usually take up this space to gripe about the bothersome and annoying, we thought we'd make a change. The good things happening at SUU outshine the bad for a lot of student readers. Therefore, we've chosen to recap the spectacular Homecoming week and offer kudos to those student officers responsible for the variety of activities they presented to the campus. The Homecoming Jubilee and crowning of the King and Queen, talent show, studs game show spoof, powder puff football, Rusty McGee, a live band, bonfire, parade, tailgate party and football game and dance all rounded out SUU's 1-993 Homecoming week and made it one to remember. To start the week on the right foot Jennilyn Prior and Derek VanNess were crowned Homecoming Queen and King (by popular vote) in Monday Night's Jubilee and the Homecoming crowd was entertained by tho e students willing to dazzle us with their many talents. Gigi Love Wilson, a senior education major from Arlington, Tex., won the contest with an original tune from her recent album. The 'Studs' show went even better than expected - it packed the Thorley Recital Hall with late comers 12 rows deep. Troy Meeks, (and student participants) a senior Communication major and resident host, kept the audience holding their sides. The comedian that didn't quite 'rock the house', did take up time and a few bucks, but the front-page critique to accompany it in Monday's issue of The Thunderbird, was well worth it. The bonfire and .band roared hot and high along with the cheers from the crowd on Friday night When wet weather threatened to halt the fire before it actually began it was set to blazing when gasoline was poured on pallet-mountain. Sparks flew and the resident pyromaniacs were not denied their fire. The parade route was lined with townsfolk and students like never before. Candy was tossed, and people were eager to cheer on the Thunderbirds. The football game was kicked off by a tailgate party and parachuting skydivers. Although the game was lost to Cal Poly 38 - 6, the crowd and players hung on and tuck in until the end. The dance to conclude the Homecoming week had the participants dancing solidly for at least three hours. The couples left wiping the sweat from their brows and laughing. Student Government is often criticized for its performance many times rightly so, sometimes not In view of the past weeks' Homecoming activities, though, the officers who planned them need not worry about negative criticism. Campus social life is an important part of a college education, and without activities provided for students by their peers, a huge aspect of higher education would be void.

In September, I spoke on dozens of talk radio stations in the U.S .A. and Canada. Over 3 million heard my voice of warning in the past two months .

One year ago at LDS Conference in October, 1992, I gave Gordon B. Hinkley the nuclear wa r survival information for the Mormons. September 6, 1993, in front of my home in Parowan, I gave some warning infonnatio n to Governor Milce Leavitt and his family. At the Utah special session of legislature I got some information to all 104 state senators and representatives. Sh-h-h-h-h! Quiet! Nobody wants me to wake them up. Jesus aid: "If the blind lead the blind, both shaU fall into the ditch." I have said a hundred million people will die in the U.S.A. without any warning. And the Utah office of Emergency Management "Civil Defense" people estimate almost one mi.Ilion dead in Utah without any warning or preparation. I am just one lone man trying to wake people up. Nobody helps or pay me a thing.
