Steven H. Heath will present his Science and Religion A Conciliatory View Dec. 8 at 11 a.m. in the Auditorium, the 10th and final program in the fall Convocation Series. Thursday hundreds of people were disappointed as they arrived at the Auditorium to find Jack Anderson had cancelled his expected Convocation speech. Lana Johnson, Convocation coordinator, said she was very distressed by the incident and hopes it will not happen again. Johnson continued that she was particularly upset because the college made the arrangements through an agency which contracted Anderson to speak, and she believes his late cancellation is a breach of contract on not only the agencys part, but also Andersons. Johnson called a week in advance to insure that the reservation for Andersons plane trip to Cedar City had been made. Finding that none had been made, she called the agency, however, the agency did not reply until Wednesday at noon. With only 24 hours left before he was due to speak, the agency informed Johnson that Anderson was not coming, but would not explain why. Finally Johnson was able to find Andersons telephone number in Washington, D.C. She spoke to Anderson personally and asked why he was not coming to SUSC. Johnson said he simply replied that he was too busy. g ' There is possibly an explanation and if its a good one, I want it.. .numerous people and students were looking forward to seeing him. They deserve an explanation and so do I. In Heaths honor, a public reception will take palce at 3 p.m. in the T anner Room of the Old Administration Building. Refreshments will be served and there will be limited copies of Heaths lecture available. There will also be copies available of Michael Cohens spring 1983 Distinguished Faculty Lecture, Why I am Not a Conservationist. Senate reconsiders Soccer Clubs fund request by Ethel Lyman ASSUSC Senate members expressed much concern during their regular meeting Wednesday over the proposed Soccer Club bill. The bill to allocate $500, which was unanimously approved in a previous meeting, was reconsidered and amended to read as $150. According to Senate President Jeff Maxwell, the Soccer Club bill, which would allocate, funds for the clubs travel, uniforms and equipment, was reconsidered because of questions concerning how the club would utilize the money. Senators questioned where the uniforms would go at the end of the year, if the club would continue to function next year and who would be responsible for maintenance and storage of equipment. The policing and security of the equipment is a major concern among the senate, said Maxwell. To my knowledge, none of the senators have even approached any Soccer Club members about their doubts of our intentions, said Soccer Club member Gavin McNeil. Ian Ogle, soccer club adviser, will be leaving soon The Soccer Club bill... was reconsidered because of questions concerning how the club would utilize the money. and the club will be without an adviser, said Sen. Theron Jensen. Considering the clubs current standings, I wouldnt give them a dime, not one red cent! exclaimed Jensen. In contrast, Scott Mitchell, Soccer Club president, announced that Alan Hamlin, business administration teacher, will take over the position winter quarter. Soccer club member Konstantino Kontogiannis said, I dont think the reconsideration is fair to our team; we should be given a fair chance because we have put in such a great effort. After attending the Beehive Invitational at BYU, the team felt united and motivated. It was extremely demoralizing to come back to find no support from the school, said Kontogiannis. In other business it was proposed to the senate tha $2,081 be allocated 'o the SUSC bands for travel expenses, improvements of the bands, equipment and music. The bill will be posted for one week.
