TOGETHER SOCIAL PRES ' CREATES DIVERSIONS Mike Bradish Under the hypnotic spell of Bob Fellows, senior Pradeep Sahni finds he can ' t pry Inis hands apart. ASSCU worl ed hiard to program a variety of diversions for SCU, D I ' ve never seen Rob Chamberlin, ASSCU ' s Social Presentation ' s director, with a gavel in his hand at one of our brain storming meetings... probably because it wouldn ' t do any good. During the process of putting on an event, be it a comedy show, dance, band, distinguished speaker, movie or any combination of these, imagination, enthusiasm and a will- ingness to try anything once are the nec- essary ingredients of the attitude and mind-set of each Social Pros ' producer. The contribution of ideas and the give and tal e between us is uninhibited. It has to be this way. The elements of control and close-mindedness would deprive the event being discussed of those suggestions which often spell success. I need help with Homecoming Week! announces Julio during one meeting. What themes can we use for Bronco Bust? our advertising staff asks. Get a rope! Ride em dogies! are ail thrown out by Ellen. While we are all appointed to spe- cific areas of entertainment, it is through the combined effort of all of us that our shows stay fresh and imaginative. I would hate to think, for example, of what the progressive band nights in Spotlights would be like if the decisions were made entirely by me. Instead, Spotlights has re- verberated with the sounds of such bonds as the Crazy Eights, Rainmakers and the Freaky Executives. Eric and Amy are constantly asking stu- dents what movies they hove seen and would like to see on campus. Conse- quently movies like Hope and Glory , Stake Out and My Life as a Dog have been viewed on campus. At our next meeting I ask what might be a decent door prize for a dance. Dave suggests a weekend trip for two to Fresno. Mark thinks a Honda scooter would attract a lot of attention. I get to ride it before we give it away! Pam screams. Social Presentations is an organiza- tion that enhances student life by offering on outlet to undergraduates in the form of educational and social events. Through the input of all of us working toward the common goal of satisfying the students ' hunger to do something other than study, we produce shows and events that appeal to all tastes. Our time is spent not just negotiating contracts, but brainstorming, researching, and pro- moting our events around campus. Our goal is not just to be sure that something is going on Thursday night but that it is a quality event the student body will enjoy. Good job, you zipper-heads, says our advisor Sean Corey.
