Show Southeast Of Asia No Springs Attached By DARKELL LEO Spring is an unusual season. This year it's more unusual than its been in the past. I mean many things haven't changed. The retiring editors of campus publications are beginning to walk around with glazed eyes partially melancholy, joy and anticipation of ending it all. All the ASUU committees commit-tees are beginning to crumble as more members lie out on the lawn in cut-offs and less try to buck the administration in meeting rooms. It'll be time again for Coach Jack Gardner to don his golf hat, striped sport shirts, plaid walking shorts and white tennis shoes. He'll throw away his filk carton and basketball for a golf club and lemonade. Of course, the April Committee will still be around looking hot and sweaty just ike they looked during the winter. Spring Has Sprung But, this spring we have something to look forward to. We can look forward to it, if not in great anticipation, then with extreme dread. I hate to be serious. I hate to make predictions. But his prediction s so clear, so serious, I feel I must do both. I can see nothing but a torrid summer filled with riots. The inevitable comment is, "So what? People have been predicting it for months." I can only counter with "Why?" Why can't we do something? Why can't we get off the lawns and golf courses and do something to stop it? Why can't we just all spend two hours getting to know someone as a friend who might otherwise be an enemy? Why? Contened Utahas There's a lot of misunderstanding between the minority groups of this area and the rest of the population. The misunderstanding might come from a lot of factors but probably the largest is the fact that Uahns are content. Content to accept the views of others without really finding the truth themselves. . I don't know. Perhaps, I'm an idealis. And idealism is somethmg every hardnosed, pro-journalist cannot afford to keep. But why is this eoing to happen when no one really wants it to? And on this serious note, I say adieu to spring and hope that my house won't be in flames this summer. |
