Show THE THUNDERBIRD SUSC PAGE MONDAY, MAY 7, 1990 SOCIETYS WATCHDOG COMMENTARY BY KENNETH REBER j 586-301- 1 FREE Societys Watchdog is put to rest Recently, while cleaning up my room, I found my high school yearbook. In the class predictions it was forcasted that I would be a U.S. Senator. I had to smile thinking of SUs boasting of Nevadas Senators being alumni: Harry Reid, class of 59 and Kenneth Reber, class of 90. This caused me to consider the ASSUSC video yearbook. To me the video skips a lot of memories Ive had. So Id like to create my own yearbook and capture some items of interest. Yet, I wont cover everything of interest over the past four years, like SUSC being made a university, the chartering of the Sigma Nerd (I mean Nu), or President Sherratt ruining two car engines in 1990. Some of the first people that should be recognized are our faculty. Its no surprise that SUSC has a faculty of quality professionals that can rival or surpass most schools. Perhaps I can mention two individuals I feel exemplify SUSCs faculty. The first is Dr. Max Ferguson of the School of Education who teaches classes. Ferguson does an outstanding job of teaching students the principle that the color of a mans skin is no more significant than the color of his eyes. The Regents should make classes required since most students will interact with others of different nationalities or races. Second is Dr. James Vlasich of the History Department. Dr. Vlasich combines his vast historicial knowledge with a unique sense of humor for a lighthearted setting for learning. Often in the middle of a complicated topic Vlasich will slide in a baseball joke to steal a laugh. With his style Vlasich maintains an effective learning environment. Another teacher deserving merit, coach Joe Lopour, has impressed 8 me since I ran for him during the year. Coach, youve always asked if there was any thing our little hearts desired. Yes, Id say, dont quit1 Maybe in 5 years when the basketball team finally gets invited to the NCAA tournament as a first round sacrificial lamb for an UNLV, the administration will split the revenues between coach Peterson, Kingsford and yourself m the minor sports. The video yearbook also leaves out roommates. During my four years Ive had several roomies comprising different backgrounds and philosophies ranging from a religious zealot who believes that Cedar is as wicked as the Biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, to my current himself as a Renaissance man, he yuppie roommate, who characterizes won't do anything that doesnt enhance his resume. Being in organizations is another big part of school. This year Ive been on the Centrum S.W.A.T. team. The SWAT team consists of an interesting mix of different nationalities and personalities. For example, we have Tomo Ishikawa who was made in and imported from Japan. Also, there is my good friend sheik Randy and his faithful servant Gina. From South of the Rio Grande we have Alf who is only a couple of inches taller than his famous TV namesake. Finally, this claims his diet of curly group is led by a crazy Colorado native, who fries and Coke are part of the four basic food groups, (must be from the thin mountain air). These are a few memories Ive had here. I hope this column inspires others to design a more detailed record of their time here. 127 NO.
