o ' f-we Q - 1 W Q v . F rlends University was buzzing with many activi- ties thls past year. Some of the actlvltles were sponsored by Student Council, while others were sponsored by the dorms and other organizations. Fright Night, which ls sponsored by StuCo, ls held on Friday the 13th and consists of movies and a creepy game of Sardines. StuCo also sponsored, through their com- munity senfice project, a play called Story Theater. The production consisted of a contest to see who was the best story-teller ln the world. Admission to this event was two cans of food. The food collected went to a local food bank for a community service. Dances are one of the most attended actlvl- ties on or off campus.

Students were charged a dollar for admission to cover the cost of ioivrs Spring Fling. Activities fill Students' days and nights with fun and excitement and helped to bring students and faculty together ln the Friends community. -byRabMartin D

O D o the walls really have ears? If so, the walls of the telethon room on the second floor of Davis Hall are listening once agaln to many requests for donations. The annual telethon raises money for Friends' unrestrlcted funds used for the school's operating expenses, such as electricity and water, and scholarship money. The callers are students, faculty, staff and alumnl. Thls year the telethon took a new approach with Its student callers. Although the telethon had successfully used many student callers in the past, for the first time the students were pald. The callers received 53.50 an hour working a minimum of two hours a week. Elaine Meadow, alumni director, said there wasn't a problem with getting student volunteers, but we all know that college students need money, and now it's a trend of colleges to use paid callers. The money to pay the callers had been previ- ously budgeted from funds elsewhere and did not come from money raised durlng the telethon. The calls were made from 5:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. The callers reached approximately 4,000 of the 7,000 alumni that the university had current addresses for. These alumni had already received a mailer announcing the telethon. Meadow advlsed callers durlng a one-hour training session to make the calls personal and comfortable as well as Informative. -by Kerry Prescott Kristin Joy tlopl is one ol many students who helped with the annual telethon to raise money for Friends University, Along with Joy is Dr. Norman Bridges Ex- ecutive Vice President to her left. --pholo by Pichai Nifamansakul.
