Q' Many people have complain- ed about the lack of partici- pation in Spirit Week activi- ties. They then proceed to say that it is always the same peo- ple who do everything. The truth is that every student is given an equal opportunity to participate but not every stu- dent chooses to become involved. The next argument is that the only ones who do anything are Student Council members.

A better solution might be to have the events better organized. Have the set of rules publicized and en- force them. As most everyone knows, a major part of Spirit Week is the daytime activities such as wearing specific articles of clothing on specific days. Student Council came up with the idea of having mimeographec signs to pin on everyday clo- thing that said what the clothes were supposed to be for the pec ple who wanted to participate but couldn't afford to go out and buy the right thing if they didn't already have it. This was a good idea but it has been abused. Now anyone can write painters' pants or ski sweater on a piece of paper anc it counts just as if they had worn the real thing. This doesn't 1.
