The way things stand
Well, the time has come
again. You know, I really
enjoy sitting down and having
this little "chat" with you. It's
good in a way, because it
keeps you informed of what's
happening around the school.
Speaking of which
Mixes Night lost us
we STILL haven't found
the mixer yet. I'm beginning
to wonder if we ever will! It
kind of bothers me that we
haven't. Surely someone at
that concert saw something.
You know, if we can't fork
over that mixer, we're going
to have to pay for it somehow.
That's $3,000.00 bucks that's
got to come out of somewhere.
S.G.A.certainly doesn't have
it in their fund, so it may come
to pass that the various or
ganizations that we've given
the yearly allotments to are
going to have to help out with
the payment, willingly or not.
I've looked at the contract
that the S.G.A. signed with
the sound company in order
for them to come here and
furnish the sound equipment.
It doesn't have a clause in
which we accept responsibil
ity of the stuff; however, I'm
not a lawyer and this isn't a
court of law. Even if we don't
have a legal obligation to pay,
I feel that we should. If we
want more concerts here at
school, we're going to have to
"save face." The word is out
people. The music industry
knew the very next morning
that the mixer was stolen.
How? Let me tell you, word
travels fast in the business.
Put yourself in a band's shoes
for a moment. After hearing
that a $3,000.00 mixer was
stolen at Capitol Campus after
a concert, would YOUwant to
bring your equipment here
and play? I think that you'd
have second thoughts about
it. Let me know how you feel.
Leave a note in my mail box if
you can't find me anywhere.
Get with It juniors
I guess this next para
graph is addressed to the
Juniors. I'm really
disappointed in you. I'm sure
that doesn't bother you a bit
but I want to tell you why too.
As I'm SURE you've heard
OR read somewhere, the
S.G.A. is going to hold elec
tions for the Junior Senators
in the upcoming weeks. As of
last Thursday, NONE of you
felt like it was worth your
time to even apply!!! Just who
do you think you are????? Are
you suffering from the delu
sion that everything is going
to be handed to you around
here'? I certainly hope not,
cause it's not going to be,
people! Without any repre
sentation on the S.G.A., your
opinion won't he heard.
Doesn't that matter to you?
You'll be the first ones to
gripe next year when you're
not included in the decision
making process. Sure, I agree
that the S.G.A. isn't "hell-fire
and damnation" but it's get
ting there. The administration
and faculty at least know that
we're there and that we're
watching out for the student's
interests. Just where do you
get off not caring enough to
carry on the practice? I only
hope that the extension I've
granted on the application
deadline does some good.
Some of the Senior Senators
were dead set against me
doing it. If none of you apply
and subsequently run, I'll give
you a preview of what's going
to happen. Either the
ENTIRE S.G.A. is going to
resign, or they'll just concern
themselves with matters per
taining to the Seniors and cut
their work in half. I, for one,
do not want to see either one
of those things happen. Come
on people, get off your ass!
Get involved! It's only as good
as YOUmake itIMMIIM
Now that that's off my
chest
WSU sihndion taken care of
At one of our most recent
meetings, a unique situation
come to light. Seems as
though someone wanted to
get a constitution for a White
Student Union ratified. Well,
the S.G.A. was dead set
against it and the club never
got off the ground. I want to
publically thank the members
of the Black Student Union
for keeping therir heads and
having faith in the judgment
of their Student Government.
It meant a lot to us that you
had confidence in our ability
to handle the situation. Thank
you.
Walk la and walk out
As far as school's concern
ed, these advertisements that
you've been seeing around the
school for early registration,
are legal. Naturally, they
won't take effect until the
proper time to register comes
around, but what it DOES
mean is that you won't have to
stand in line this time either.
Remember those lines? Any
way, it's for real and you
should take advantage of it.
SCA asked Cress
abed Fonda denial
I've sent a letter to Dr.
Gross about the denial to
Fonda and Hayden to come to
Capitol and speak. You'll find
a copy of it in the issue
somewhere. I think you'll also
find his reply as well as some
additional comments by yours
truly. It's an interesting sit
uation and I'd appreciate your
comments. (ahem, Juniors---
now's your chance)
Until nest time
Well, I guess that's about
all for this time. Oh, there's
also another bit on the book
store in here somewhere(the
READER). You might want
to check it out. As far as I
know, the READER is going
to publish the entire story
about the b.s. (ahem, that's
Book Store) in portions. The
first one appeared in the last
A few weeks ago the three Cuban women pictured above were on campus lecturing on the status
of women in Cuba. The women are members of the Federation of Guban Women. They were
sponsored in the U.S. by the Women's International Leauge for Peace and Freedom.

missed it, go by their office
and see if they'll let you read
their file copy. Lyda's a pretty
good person and always will

Like I said, I guess that's
all for this time. I've enjoyed
it as usual. Sorry if I jumped
to hard on your case Juniors,
BUT you do deserve it for
your apathy.
For your information, the
S.G.A. holds its weekly meet
