As the snow drifted up against the east' side door of North Dorm Monday, Feb. 6th, Mary Daddy and Lee Bahr came up with ari Idea that kept a number of residents busy rehearsing all afternoon - The Gong Show.
The live performance of the Gong ShoW took place at 9:00 , p.m. on the third 1I00r of North Dorm, to a standing room only audience.
Eight acts participated In the event, vying for the grand prize of a free pitcher of beer at the Rat.
Chuck Barris was unavailable that evening, so Cathl Pizzo stepped in and did an admirable job of ohanglng hats. Her between act jokes were on par with the Gong Show's rep uta- ' tion.
Sitting in as jUdges and ringers of the STOP sign Gong gong were Mark Dixon, Claude Falchler, and Liz P,eper.
Sommer and Helen Horowitz made their appearance as the "Dam Dancing Demons."
Sheila Banks portrayed Larry and promised to play her Gil-tar in song.
Wearing a bag over his head. the "unknown comic" Michael Nugent did G roucho Marx Imitations.
Announcer Mike "Iceman" McGuire introduced the next act, "The Golden Terror" vs the "Folding Wonder." Heavyweight Varsity startes Paul Floyd wrestled the "wonder" before the very eyes of the aUdience. Sad to say, the folding chair won.
A heat wave made Its way through the Icy blizzard when the "Hot Trotters" went on stage. Mary Daddy, Lee Bahr, and Marilyn Guarton graced the aUdience with thelr rendition of Linda Ronstadt's smash single. giVing them second place with a whopping 26 points.

John "Jed" Procyk followed the Trotters with his banjo strumming. The "Ballard of Jed Clampett" and a medley of banjo favorites comprised his act.

A university education should give a person "a clear conscious destroyed in some, foolish least my opinion. view" of his own opinions ftnd Judgements, a truth In developing military action, at leasl' some ' Susan Sadowski '81' them, an eloquence In expressing them, and a force In urging them. It teaches him to see things as they are, to go light to the point, to disentangle the skein of thought, to'detect what Is sophistical, and to discard what fslrrs/event. It prepares him to fl/l any post with credit and to master any subject with fecillty. Nor is this al/, for Newman (John Henry Newman in The Id.lS of I University) argued that the Individual's character was influenced by such education, showing him as it did "to accommodate himself to' others, how to throw himself Into their state of mind, how to bring before them 'hiS own, how 10 Influenoe them, 119'(/ to come to an understanding With them, how to bear with them." This, I think, is a good description of the type ot education we should be receiving at Stevens, but for various Insidious reasons are' not. Unfortunately we are not ge,lIng thistype of education from Stevens but also the students are not taking full advantage ot the possibilities. This applies mainly to the underclassmen since it Is just about over for the seniors. I just !:tope the juniors, sophomores and freshmen learn and take a different opln'''n. Otherwise as Willalm Blake said, "'l:he man who alters his opinion Is like standing in water, and breaks reptiles of the mind," Hence a saddenlngly acourate epitaph for the "tactoryInspected" graduates ot Stevens Is: '

"Bermuda College Weeks are designed to coincide with the vacation periods of most colleges," Fran/cs Purvey, Bermuda Department of Tourism manager of promotional ser.vices says. "This spring, Easter Is early--March twentyslxth--and very few schools will be on vacation between the first ani:! fifteenth of April this year, so we decided to split our dates. While the number of weeks has dropped, though, the number of students Is not expected to decrease from past years."
In 1977, nearly 12,000 collegians came to Bermuda for at least one of the famed weeks.
As In years past, Bermuda College Weeks again will be hosted by the Bermuda Depart-
events.
Since that time, Bermuda College Weeks has worked itself in among the many harbingers that herald the arrival of spring, and all students need todo in order to participate Is show up. The island and Its hospitality Is theirs for the taking.

It'd be a crime if you didn't. Because Data General is the third largest computer company in the world in computer shipments.
After only nine years, we've instaUed over 44,500 systems- more than Sperry-Univac, NCR. Control Data, and Raytheon combined. Last year alone, we announced a new product every 15 working days. And shipped a new system every 16 minutes last time we checked. We even pump more revenues back into R&D than any other computer company.
That's the kind of dynamic growth that spells opportunity for creatiye people with degrees in EE, ME, CS or other technical disciplines. And we can prove it. ,
