That's the LDS Student Association's theme for a year which President Molonai Hola promises to be "big time." Gone are the days when LDSSA taught only about reli- gion. Sure, religion classes still exist; there are more classes to choose from than flavors of Baskin Robbins ice cream. The 55 classes offered each quarter range from celestial marraige to history of the Book of Mormon. But that's only the academic aspect. LDSSA provides every opportunity to have fun by sponsoring dances, service projects and sports, Hola said. In addition, students have an alternative means of gaining leadership experience. "If (students) don't have the opportunity to become involved in ASUU then they can become involved in LDSSA," Hola said. social or But for whatever reasons-religio- us, students choose to become involved wiui LDSSA, he added, there is never a dull moment. The activities kick off Sept. 30 with an intercollegiate stadium dance involving all Utah's colleges. Other highlights scheduled for the year include a five kilometer run and a community awareness service week, the largest d service project ever. The LDS church sponsors national sororities and fraternities not directly related to LDSSA that contain different chapters. These serve as alternatives to their Greek counterparts on campus. Mike Mollinet, president of the Sigma Gamma Chi fraternity, said contrary to many preconceived notions, fraternity members are not required to belong to the LDS church. "People think we're all religious," he said. "And although that's important . . . , we're trying to extend an invitation to others with the same ideals." (of the LDS church) are attracted by like ideals and it costs less money," Mary Summerhays, leader-ship-seeking-on- "Non-membe- rs - The University of Utah experience entitles students to exposure to many new and exciting ideas. Political groups will ask for their votes, social groups will ask for their support, and professors will ask for men upixiiuiia. All this pressure can be a little overwhelming, and students may ask themselves repeatedly, "Why do I believe this? Why don't I believe this? Who do I believe?" V For some U. students, religious organizations can offer support and answers and may aid in the process of becoming independent. Religion is a must to some, a swear word to others. According to Webster's New World Dictionary, religion is any specific system of beliefs, worship, or conduct, often involving a code of ethics and a philosophy. Besides the predominant LDS Student Association, the Mormon student oreanization. the Student Involvement Center lists many other organizations that might be of service to the student Student religious organizations at the U. range from the Student International Meditation Society, the Pagan club, and trie Unitarian universalists to tne many Detter- known organizations affiliated with established churches such as the Baptist and Lutheran campus ministries, the University Buddhist Union, the Catholic Newman Center, the Muslim Student Association and the primarily Protestant Campus Christian Center. Other religious groups at the U. choose to operate discussion sessions in which different ideas are shared. these According theu the Student Involvement Center, : r suLiii as iue luituiaim uuuuuu, onmpus gruujjs, Ambassadors and the Student Religious Forum, offer discussions on all religions and are open to any denomi- on-camp- us . ce LDSSA-sponsore- Kerry Shea Lamda Delta Sigma president, said. e New pledges pay a $40 fee and quarterly dues run about $40.

Perhaps the biggest difference between the nine LDS chapters and the Greek system, Summerhays noted, is expressed in the chapters' theme: 'The choice is yours." "Girls can choose which of the nine chapters they'd rather be in," she said, "rather than the other way : around." one-tim- . 1 ; .
