Show October 8, 1982 Forum Page 2 letteRstothe editoR week have been the Homecoming activities this on the part of grand beginning of a renewed spirit both students and alumni. A great deal of time and effort went into the of these events, but the planning and organization work was done by just a handful of willing volunteers. As usual, many people are willing to participate Yet in the fun, but unwilling to help with the work. there have been complaints in the past that there are not enough activities. ASWC stands for Associated Students of Westminster College. This means all students. The people who always do the work need help; they cannot con tinue to do everything by themselves. Please take the time to offer your talents andor your energy. The rewards will make it worthwhile. homeSpecial thanks go to Leigh Ann Chapman, alumni director, coming chairman, and Maggie Aloia, for their hard work in organizing many of the events. A more complete list of involved people will be published in next weeks issue, but thank you to all Ellipsis Editor Responds would like to take this opportunity to respond to Randy Browns letter of the 17 th of September. In his reporting endeavors, Mr. Brown failed to discuss the Ellipsis budget with anyone (Mike Black, Trudy Rocha, Kelly Morrison, or myself) who could have provided him with the correct figures for the total cost of the 1981-198- 2 Ellipsis. Mr. Brown reported us have to spent $2,500 on a literary journal consisting of 12 poems and one short, short one-aplay. The fact is that we spent under $1,130, which included all printing costs and stipends. Originally, the budget was set at $2,800 for a much larger issue. However, due to an error on the part of ASWC 1980-198we were told we had only $1,400 to work with, on the condition that the Ellipsis would be a limited edition. Rather than criticizing incorrect figures, I believe that Mr. Brown should have checked his facts and in turn should have given us credit for keeping the Ellipsis under an already low budget. I ct 1, EDITORS JSOTE: is legitimate. It I did some checking and this letter that anyone responding to this with regard for the feelings of the individual. is my sincere hope request U'ill do so Inmate Reaches Out hope you will take an interest in printing this in your newspaper or somehow find a way to bring it to the attention of others. I offer my sincere gratitude for your efforts. I am presently incarcerated in a penal institution and have very little outside communication. Although my confinement has limited me in many ways, it has also allowed me to grow and discover my potential. It has also allowed me to obtain a college education and inspired me to set meaningful goals for myself. 1 am still in need of friends, however, and would like to correspond with anyone who has an interest. I welcome all letters. NOTE: It is very important to include my serial number (133-058- ) and nine digit zip code with my address. Otherwise, letters will not reach me.

I was informed that the scheduling was just altered this semester for economic reasons and also to accomodate a visiting group. is minutes not sufficient time for the extenFifty sive lectures and exams supposedly characteristic of smaller colleges. Conflicts in scheduling of classes in related departments have also been created, such as those classes in upper division math and computer As a 8 d off-camp- us science courses. know that Westminsters finances are far from stable. However, I think that the approach for generating income should be to present Westminster as a institution which graduates students who are qualified to compete in the real world. The g current class time reduction reflects a school which will accept any source of income, even at the expense of its students. If I wanted a fast, cheap education, I would be attending the University of I high-quali- ty penny-pinchin- Utah. would hope that students, faculty, and administhe new scheduling tration alike will I Westminster College- - system.
