Kunzler Staff writer for The Signpost Over the 1989-990 school year religious groups have had great success with their activities The Campus Crusade for Christ showed a video entitled "Maximum Sex" during an open hour in the little theater. The video adresses the students on how to develop intimacy in relationships. "We as individuals are looking for this intimacy. The video focuses on not only the physical dimension but the emotional and mental dimension too," said John Knight, advisor and associate staff member for Campus Crusade for Christ. Knight feels one should abstain from sex until marriage. "The Bible teaches that the marriage bed is to be kept holy," said Knight.

The Newman Center holds Mass daily, Monday through Friday at noon. They also hold a Sunday Mass at 6pm in the Newman Center. Charles Cummins, director of the Newman Center and a counselor at St. Joseph's High School feels that religion is important for students to particapate in while at college. "In this materialistic world it's hard to see the God we can not see," said Cummins. "God created us to love people and use things, but in this materialistic world we tend to love things and use people." The first Sunday of every month people of Newman Center help serve meals and wash dishes at St. Anne's Shelter for the homeless. Cummins councils Catholic's as well as people who are interested in knowing andor joining the Catholic Religion. The LDS Institute had 700-800 high school seniors from Weber, Morgan and Davis counties participate in this year's Seminary Seniors' Night held to promote the Institute as well as Weber State. The purpose of LDSSA is to help their students be active in the church, succeed in their studies and achieve a balanced life while on campus. Additionally, they try to motivate students to give service to othert and become a powerful influence for good on campus. The Good Times Committee puts on the opening socials which are the first Friday night of each quarter. They hold dances or other activities such as going to drive-in movies. "It's a chance for kids to make new friends with others who have the same standards," said Paul C. Toone, associate director of the Ogden LDS Institute. LDSSA also sponsors a Thursday lunch at the Institute. The Junction serves as a social center to some students. WSC lacks hangouts By Godfrey Akpan Staff writer of The Signpost Most schools have a popular gathering place for students to visit or study during their extra time. Where do Weber State students go to "hang-out." According to international student, Mutaz Alquirim, his favorite hang out is Weber State's Junction. "At the junction, I usually talk with some friends, study and smoke some cigarettes," Alquirim said. "My school life is pretty much occupied by school work and extra curricular activities." The large percentage of non-traditional students attending Weber don't depend on campus activities to keep them busy. Yet another foreign student, chosing to remain anonymous, explained that people in Utah tend to hang around their own. "Frankly speaking, there is no social life in Ogden," he said. "For the past three years, I normally go out of state during breaks to have a social life." When Richard Effiong, director of financial aid, was a student in the late '70s, he used to hang out in the union building by the television to watch General Hospital. "On weekends I stayed home, besides there was no place to go and socialize," he said. An anonymous WSC staff member said she used go to the library to do research papers. "I was a non-traditional student and used to hang around my family," she said. Loan Collection Manager, Leon Wilson, said during his school days in the '70s, he sang with the Weber State Singers. "I used to go to school activities, such as football games, dances and ballets, with my date" Wilson said. Student Krista Wirt said she doesn't "hang out." Instead, she works out in the gymnasium, and on weekends she goes on national guard drills. Elroy Miller, a basketball player, said there is not a lot to do around here." He and his friends usually go to the dance clubs in Salt Lake. "We always try to have some fun around here," saidWSC football player, Ray Thompson. On Sundays, he and his friends get together to play basketball and lift weights. When asked if he spent his free time with on campus groups, John Cox said, "I do hang out with the bikers." Though most student's social life is independant of Weber State, a few people find something to do around campus in their free time.
