Show May 4, 1976 Signpost Page 7 Signpost Editor: The Associated Women Students have received a great deal of publicity this past year from the Signpost, very little of it good. The largest complaint has been that the AWS Council has planned only "fun and games" activities geared toward the 18-22 year old group while ignoring the desires of the many women on campus who are not of that group. Well, let me tell you a story about the desires of the women at WSC. During fall quarter, AWS, in conjunction with the Women's Campus Life Organization, sponsored Married Student's Week, a week filled with activities planned especially for those students who are married. Although every married student received notices of the week through the mail, fewer than fifty people attended any one of the activities hardly encouraging. Winter quarter, however, proved a different story. The 1.95 ct. Diamond Diamond Engagement Set with 6 Diamonds Value 299 VJA7GEIHG ALB.

AWS Council was forced to hold" Songfest, a "fun and games" activity, on two separate nights to meet the great demand for tickets. The Preference Ball, another "fun and games" activity, was also very successful as more than 200 couples attended. Does this give you an indication of where the interests of the students at Weber lie? During the same quarter, the officers of AWS sent questionaires to the various women's organizations on campus to find whether or not there was an interest in a week for women and to get any suggestions for such a week. The results were definitely not promising, but the officers decided to go ahead with the week anyway beacause we felt-it could be very beneficial. Much time and effort went into the publicity and preparation of Women's Week, yet only a handful of people came to hear V. Carlisle speak on the ERA, and only a few more came to hear mW$ LOST OUR LEASE 25 TO 50 OFF ALL PRICES DRASTICALLY REDUCED JUST IN TIME FOR MOTHER'S DAY AND GRADUATION 1. 30 ct.

In fact, none of the other "serious" activities fared much better. The only event which gained any real degree of success was the Mr. Weber State pageant, another "fun and games" activity. The blame for the failure of Women's Week and the other serious activities planned throughout the year lies not with the AWS Council, but rather with the women themselves. The participation in the various activities sponsored by AWS this year proves that the women at Weber State take little interest in the more serious aspects of women's issues, that they would much rather attend a "fun and games" function. I can only wish the new officers of AWS loads of luck because I am afraid that they will have little support to work with. I honestly hope that the women on campus prove me wrona.

Com VP Editor: Congratulations! I understand the Signpost came away with all the brass at a recent Student Press Conference. Special congratulations go to Mary Woodhead, who received a trophy for Editorial writing; to Tara Harris, who received trophies for her advertising layout, which has made the paper Our Editor: My letter didn't appear as I had hoped. This time it meets all your regulations and I expect to see it in print. It's our paper and our opinions should be expressed. Our student fees went to send a Student Government officer to a convention to learn methods of running a Special Events Center? The President of the Executive Council has appointed him to the Special Events Committee to use this information? No, he used all his available courage at St. George. He has appointed our perpetual "yes" girl, Karma Grimm.
