Extraordinary pasttime keeps teacher runninsi Tweeting of whistles, the stren- uous run of 100 yards blanl : num- ber of times and the beading sweat on a hot forehead would not mean relaxation to many peo- ple. However, for Chris Christen- sen it is. Mr. Christensen had been ref- ereeing football for 10 seasons and at one time he refereed bas- ketball also. Refereeing allowed Mr. Chris- tensen to remain an active par- ticipant in sports, and stay in con- tact with sports. he said. For Mr. Christensen. his season began the first week in August with a meeting of the Southwest Football Officials Association (SFOA). The meeting existed weekly throughout the season and deals with the rules and mechanics of officiating. he said. Not only is this uncommon pas- time enjoyable for Mr. Christen- sen. it gives him the opportunity to get exercise doing something worthwhile. It allows me to re- main in sporting activities and to give a needed contribution to the sport. he said. Although Mr. Christensen en- Joyed refereeing. it was unlikely he would consider refereeing full time, because there is not enough money in it to make a living. he said.

' )Orn b BREAD NOT BOMBS. Joseph Lazor car- MIS ,) poster d(sp iy duruig a rally against Contra Aid. This is Just one of his many contributions to society. ••MAKE IT A DOUBLE!- K.u.-n Honeycutt serves ice cream tn Judy Scheffier in the teacher s lounge. Every now and then teachers deserve a special Ireal. Lazor faces challenges in Mexico while sharins! time with homeless Lvatched a man die after a friend and I pulled him and his family out of his little hut in South- em Mexico. He ivas being uictim- ized by drug dealers and had al- ready been shot several times by the time ive got there. He died before iMe could get him off the mountain. The tvife ' s tears and frustration was the most poignant scene I ' ve ever ivitnessed. Joe Lazor said. Mr. Lazor faces assorted situ- ations such as this one through the community work he does. He was very active doing volunteer work at Camino a la Paz, teaching an ethics course in the Department of Religion at Trinity University, directing a choir at St. Mary ' s Catholic ChiM-ch emd working at the San Antonio Metropolitan Min- istry (SAMM) shelter for the home- less. Mr. Lazor strongly believes in helping one another and the next generation. I like teaching and believe that I can help the next generation in dealing with the world, even when teaching math. People who have to sleep on the streets of San Antonio need help and the government is un- willing to accept responsibility. Therefore the task is left to vol- unteers, ' he said. Like many important contribu- tions in life time was the enemy. I often feel frustrated in realizing I could be doing better if I had more time. The work always seemed more than the time which is alot- ted, he said. Working at Camino a la Paz dealt with putting on programs having to do with nuclear weap- ons and money spent on the weap- ons, racial prejudism, the way our money was invested and other contemporary topics along those lines. Mr. Lazor ' s ethics class allowed him to get a different view of the world through college student ' s eyes rather theui high school stu- dents. Students are more influ- ential at the high school age, and I like that. There is more intellectual stimulation in college and that is something I miss, ' ' he said. Although he misses the intellec- tual stimulation Mr. Lazor planned to stay with high school life be- cause he felt he had a larger im- pact on the next generation. Mr. Lazor by Deelaina Stowe ... 190
