MEETING INTERESTING PEOPLE IS HIS GAMEI Thomas Moss has met many interesting people, not unlike the ones in CAC. If you happen to be in there and you talk to htm. you will hear some very unusual stories. •7 WANT TO BE ON THE ENDI Pep rallies are a perfect opportunity for teachers to show their stuff. K f ' • ■ M 1 Todd Cietencki WHERE ARE THE INDIANS? On Thanksgiuing Vickie Swenson gets into the holidays. It is not uncom mon for teachers to dress up to state a point. Heidi HuUhe Todd Cietencki Moss lives full life with new perspectives Seeing the world from a dif- ferent perspective, Ttiomas Moss has lived a life more interesting than most people. Although Mr. Moss ivas born ivith congenital blindness, this disability never stopped him from doing anything adventuresome especially during his school days. At the age of 14 he uoas per- manently expelled from school for going across the street tvithout permission to get tivo pieces of bubble gum. If I could change something in my life, it Luould be to go back and chang e my school behavior and start out earlier enjoying life, he said. Although Mr. Moss ' Job at the moment is handling the Campus Alternative Center (CAC) he has held many different Jobs. A broadcasting Job caused Mr. Moss to move to Missouri where he met Ronald Reagan, when he wasjust a sports broadcaster. Re- discovering his love for music, Mr. Moss got involved tvith it once again. He met GeneAutry at the Tower Theatre in Kansas. Dropping his career in music because of the Rock-n-Roll era Mr. Moss felt ' there was no long- er a need for the instrtiments he used before, all they need is a guitar, some drums, and some- one to scream. Mr. Moss next tried his luck at acting. He landed a role in ■ Rodeo Rhythm ' ' which also con- tained John Wayne. With his fluency in Spanish, he met Helen Keller as her transla- tor, while teaching in Mexico. Setting records, Mr. Moss was the first person to take a raft down the Snake River and the first blind man to take a TWA tour to Europe. Although he would like to go, one of the few places he had never been to is Hawaii. He would like to go so I can eat macadamia nuts and hold hands with the hula girls! DeeUinM St04jje 195 .. .

Russia is much more di- verse than most people re- alize, said Arden Knight on his trip to the Soviet Union this past summer. His wife, Sherrie Knight, also accompanied him on the trip to Russia. After Mrs. Knight received a brochure in the mail to tour Russia, Mr. and Mrs. Knight de- cided to go on the trip because of their extreme- interest in the Soviet Union. There certainly was nothing fearful or apprehensive about being in the Soviet Union. Arden Knight Among the spectacular monuments throughout the city the Red Square at night provided a panoramic view of the Kremlin, St. Bal- sili, cind Lenin ' s tomb, Mr. Knight said. Although the typical American would ' ve been hesitant to venture into Russia, the Knights ' felt at ease and were given first class treatment. The best food, hotels, entertainment, cour- tesy, and gestures of peace and friendship were presented at every opportunity, Mr. Knight said. Mefissa Sargent Russia by Melissa Sargent ... 196
