Gutierrez's class is a convenient and fun

Gutierrez has been teaching fitness,

The Can-paign Continues

ed the members of Club 831 A. Club
831 A is a tight group of friends who
enjoy beverages from aluminum cans,
play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater I & 11, and
just enjoy each other's company. Club
831 A is also active in such PSH intermur
al sports as softball and touch football.
Can-paign 2000 has brought another
form of entertainment to Club 831 A.
"The best part of saving aluminum cans is
smashing them in the driveway," says
Matt 'Lapinski' Williams. Coach added
that "we usually don't let him help
because he hurts himself."
Johnny 'K
-Rock' Kowker feels that
this program is a good thing for the club.
He says, "It's about time we lift Club
831 A out of lethargy and prove to the
world that we have a purpose." And a
damn good purpose the club has in Can-
paign 2000.
When interviewed, other Club 831 A
members expressed their support of the
Can-paign. Mike Hartley commented on
the recycling aspect of the operation.
"There should be more programs that
give incentives for helping the environ
ment." Jason T Anthony feels that Can
paign 2000 is, "a rewarding program that
directly benefits the cause and the people
involved." Anthony 'Chipper' Chuplis

The student chapter of lEEE at PSH is
conducting a fund-raising sub sale to

lEEE and to help his young family. All

enthusiastically supports the new recy
cling program. "Saving cans gives us
another reason to drink more beer."
The Can-paign has brought new
importance to drinking. Aluminum is cur
rently selling for only about 30 cents a
pound, so a lot of beer must be consumed
to meet the club's goals. Coach realizes
there may be some pressure to perform,
but he feels the club is ready for it. "It
takes a lot of dedication. It's hard work,
but someone's got to do it."
Ultimately, the club hopes to sell
enough aluminum to provide a great night
of drinking. Hence the title of this article,
"From Beer to . . . Beer."
All the beer purchased will, of course,
be in aluminum cans, creating a "never
ending cycle of beer." The club hopes to
get 'Bos Mullet band Ratt to participate in
the festivities. The club as a whole
believes that Ratt rules, and they feel there
is no better band to help them celebrate.
They wanna party with Ratt. And Coach is
sure that "if we all do our part, we will get
rewarded."
Even if you are not a member of Club
831 A, you are encouraged to participate in
such reward programs. If you have ques
tions concerning Club 831A's Can-paign

The Club 831 A crew, comprised of 12

According to club member John . Kowker,
the shave-off will continue until the final

to continue into the spring semester and beyond.
Kerry Monaco, a Capital Times staff

members, reports that pressure from girl
friends and employers is building.
