ASWSC Apologizes Dear Editor, A sincere apology to all students who were turned away from seeing Charlton Heston. You have every right to be upset. You should have had first priority in seating. Your money was spent in bringing him here. I hope you will appreciate that I didn't have much chance to practice on this kind of problem as other convocation speakers, which included celebrities, failed to generate such a crowd. Also, we have always invited community people to all convocations. I realize wordy apologies arc in concert ASWSC presents FRIDAY MAY 15, 8 pm Dee Events Center Students, Faculty & Staff $500 all others $700 Dee Event Center, ZCMI, Weinstocks, Toad Tape Gramophone, Sound Track cheap, so we will turn our efforts to more effective planning in the future. If you are still irate, look me up and give my head a multiple-cuff. (By the way Larry, one of those old fogies was Bert!) In closing I would like to express my gratitude to Lou Johnson, Browning Center Director, his secretary, Clista McCashland, and Stage Manager Jeff Crivello for the time they spent arranging the Browning Center Facilities for Convocations. All of this was done at no cost to the students. Jim Alvey ASWSC Cultural V.P. Old Fashion Lye Soap Weakens the Fabric by Stewart C. Caldwell Religion and soap have become disconcertingly similar. Frequent application of both are necessary to achieve a true cleansing; a simple dunking ,r. the water is usually insufficient. The market is glutted with a varity of brands to choose from and each brand contends that it is the best. Someone out there is making an offer that will get you cleaner than clean, brighter than bright, and fresher than an April spring. The media flickers with a litany of promises, guarantees of a better, happier life and freedom from the clutches of dirt. Happy, smiling people give testimonials which praise their brands superiority. Impeccably dressed salesmen come bouncing into your home and greet you with a firm handshake and a case of samples tucked under their arms. They radiate genuine concern for your welfare as you fight an unending battle against the power of filth. They propose a better way to free yourself from the dirt and grime that contaminates and imperils your life. Your doubts are dispelled as they present charts, distribute pamphlets, and provide the vital facts which proclaim their products superiority. The sales-pitch is slick and professional; many fall prey. Simple decisions become difficult because of high Intramural Dear Editor, Part of each student's tuition is used to fund programs that are designed to be of benefit for the student. It is important that each student be aware of these programs and how they can " benefit from them. The Intramural Sports and Recreation Department is one such program that is funded by the students and is for their benefit. Perhaps the main purpose of the Intramurals program is to provide athletic competition to build solidarity and spirit in the various school organizations such as the fraternities, sororities, clubs and residence halls. Those organizations that take advantage of the benefits offered through Intramurals have a closer membership that is willing and ready to support their organization. Intramural Sports and Recreation not only provides for school organizations, but also gives each individual student the opportunity to participate in an athletic activity of his or her choice. Intramural - sponsored events are as worthwhile as any of the other activites provided by the powered promotion techiques. The consumer is confused, but he knows he must make a choice among all those brands, each one claiming to do the same job better than anyone else's. Some of the brands are as strong and severe as a bar of old-fashioned lye soap. They are harsh and abrasive and sometimes weaken the fabaric when used too frequently against stubborn, modern day stains. Other brands are popular because the user finds them easy and convenient. Whether the washing is lukewarm, hot or cold, the guarantee is freedom from filth and redemption of our soiled condition. Many only mask the stench of our unclean state. They provide the illusion of cleanliness, but the user remains unclean. Somewhere out there is a brand that contains no unnecessary fillers, additives, or disguising scents. It has no pollutants and will not destroy the natural order of things. It works in harmony with nature and leaves the user as clean and pure as the driven snow. Hopefully, you will disregard high pressure salesmanship, the claims of new wizardry and find the one brand which leaves you ready to stand before man or Maker, clothed in garments that are whiter than white, brighter than bright, and sure of the fact that you have no spiritual ring around the collar. Suggested college. For some a co-recreational softball game or swim meet is as rewarding and fun, if not more fun, than a school stomp or party. It is unfortunate that many students at Weber do not participate in Intramural. As a result of no involvement they are usually bored, being only briefly relieved by a party or dance. Everyone needs some type of physical activity. Every school organzation needs physical activity and athletic competition. Intramurals can and does fill these needs. Intramurals provides social activities that edify the student both physically and emotionally in a blend that is unsurpassed. Aristotle once said: "The principle aim of gymnastics is education of all youth and not simply that minority of people highly favored by nature." The Intramural department encourages you as students to come out and participate in sports. Don't let just the school athletes have all the fun. Bill Woods 626-6476 Intramural Office |
