Ways to Live Some grads show a tendency for communal living, where sharing is a main value. From this background some peoples' lives seem to take on new meaning, people work at different jobs, they follow different pursuits than their parents. Iiut I doubt this happens very much because G.U. is a school the parents can trustng a school where current American values are upheld and promoted, and the major emphasis is on self-interest and economic values rather than on those of a more radical nature--taking radical in the sense of being essentially human and humanizing. However, some grads sign with the -lesuit Lay Volunteer Corps: some now work for room, board and S50 per month in Alaska, El Paso, Hillsboro, Oregon and N.W. Indian Reservations. G.U. people work mostly in Education, especially Grade School. JVC people usually have a community house, share meals and wheels, become strong friends and take time to care. Not everyone can go to Africa though and one novel, perhaps revolutionary aspect of the JVC is that some members of the community have regular jobs and pay and take the same as all the others. Therefore those who work in areas that cannot afford to pay much at all are able to continue to do their good work too. This effectively meets needs that would not otherwise be met. Social workers seem to get fat on social funds, but this sharing gets directly to those who need it. If commune living catches on and the movement stays chaste amd shuns materialism, it'll be the second American Revolution. This type of human growth is possible at G.U.g the spiritual and humanistic development of students is really quite simple here-though not an academic priority-it comes as a factor of the day to day student life. Alumni Prospects What about next year's Alumni - who knows? 'lihe nation is changingg a strong sense of moral commitment is growing in some, complacency towards injustice in others. Private and competitive self-interest seems to be cooling off a little with many people practicing sharing, advocating unity and peace. As our Alumni change, G.U. may possibly reflect it to some extent. As bicycles are chosen over cars and fewer zags graduate in ROTC so our school's personality may alter somewhat tool SIGNUIVI continues to list our conservatism - like State Senator Martiri Durkan went to G.U. - while the BULLETIN has been raking our pulse and the UNDERGROUND GUIDE TO AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIICS sums it all up by saying 'Bing Crosby went theref A lot of good people have spent some time at G.U., many more will do likewise in the future. Despite the at times angry atmosphere, some disallusion and even despair at some aspects, if we shift our priorities more onto allowing people to develope and help that goal, we'll he worthwhile.

Weeks before Christmas the Publications Board found the SPIRES without an editor, a staff, OT any material whatsoever . . . It was in January when Gonzaga was smothered with signs reading IF YOU WANTA YEAR OOK THIS YEAR, COME TO ROOM 325 AT11 a.m. THIS TUESDAY The SPIRES first success was that meeting in room 3255 38 people showed up! But this crowd found itself with little- experience and an embarbarrassing upperclass profile--only 1 out of 5 was an upperclassman on a proiect usually dominated by them. C At least this can't be called another SENIOR book. 2 It is hard to describe the making of this book from that moment on. The end of the story takes place in a bedroom in Los Angeles one month after school got out. Between these times 15 Spurs were called in on an emergency one Saturday to work, and two professional typists had to be hired to take care of 30+ hours of typing. But what has this to do with last page of your yearbook? Well, there isn't a closing because the planned 16 pages that would begin on the following page overshot the budget 8435. So the C osing article telling us that time flows into time and that this book aiding our memories will: a.j help us remember t e good things here, or b. J tell us Gonzaga's O.K. but remember that when you close this book and! or leave the campus you're in the REAL world-Just Remember What Needs To Be Done!!! has been dropped along with some other goodies. This last page wants to tell you that the names listed below are people who came to Room 325 to make Hour yearbook. They tried to make it YO R, yearbook and not iust A yearbook by what we considered as personalizinlg and peopling it. The little experience t ey brought into Room 325 has increased because of their efforts. But whether or not this book meets your approval, you must remember that only an experienced staff can get across your's or anybody's ideas on paper. Gonza a has not had, in recent years, a staff move Bom year- to- year creating a reservoir of talent capable of producing one. In order to make any of the following SPIRES more YOUR book, we'll need to uild a continuing staffg people will have to ioin next year's and the following one's and keeg it arp. In this way, those who join will e a le to better understand and appreciate the work of those listed below while helping them and their predecessors make this ook more OUR book.
