the woik for all oni long
This big toui alwa.vs takes
place oer the Spring Break
so man tnembet s are unable
to go home and be with then
families but somehow it all
seems worth it
The spring toui gives
many members of Chanteis
an opportunttv to tun el and
see places the lime neei
seen befoie At each chinch
thej sing at Chanteis aie
assigned to spend the night
with members of the
chinches This gives the
chut dies an oppoitumtv to
become mote familial with
McMurr and Chanteis ate
able to leain more about the
area in which t!ie ate
traveling
Some Chanteis weie able
to see then tamilieseven if it
was just for a dav or so be-
cause thev who tottunate
enough to hav e the Chantet s

fore heading out for Burnett
To the homos of Jason Fr
President of Chanters and
Don Glovei the otganist
The beautiful Burnett
church was a real pleasure to
sing in and they were well
received by that congrega-
tion One of the members of
the Burnett church managed
the Longhorn Caveins and
offered to open it up for a spe-
cial tour The Chanters re-
ally enjoed that and while
deep in the caverns decided
to sing a couple of songs to
the tour guide The songs
were part of then concert
program but did have a dif-
ferent sound deep in the
middle of the cold Longhorn
Caverns
They sang that night for
the Devme 1st U M C which
is the home of Richard Young
who is the Chaplain of Chan-
ters Thei e they had plenty of
time to phi volleyball foot-
ball and lehearsc before
their conceit Then they had
a free da to look forward to
in San Angelo
Meanwhile on all of these
long hauls between towns
don't think the bus is boring
because there is never a dull
moment Everyone is deeply
involved in either their bus
romance" or the
SPADCS TOURNAMENT"
This was the second ear for
the annual tournament and
the winners of this yeai's
game were Mark Horner and
Alan Davenport and the con-
stolation prue went to
Cammie Walrath and Jim

On then fiee dav in San
Antonio thev had till 1 00 to

Some people went to see the
Alamo white otheis visited
Hcmisfan and some people
like Jen (Beef) Golden and
Gaiy Ruska. Moose Brier

Counterpoint

"I'm SoooooooTired.W"
Spring Break could have
lasted forever and that still
wouldn't have given mo
enough time to catch up on
my sleep M motltei wasio-
ally beginning to wondei
about me She thought I had
contracted some wierd dis
ease at school I slept one day
until 2 30 I wasjust waking
up as the bus dropped in lit-
tle brothers und sisteis oIT
from school The weie won-
dering what college did to
make me so tired
I still haven't figuied out
what it is about college that
makes one so sleepy I only
know that sleep is one thing
that college students value
A fifteen minute nap can be
paradise
I remembei when Mrs
Hernngton told us in Am
Lit that the baldest thing
she did every day was getting
out of bed in the morning
and that if she could do it so
could we Well I totally
agree about it being the bal-
dest thing to do and I sin-
cerely hope she understood
when I couldn't do it
I seldom get up the 1st
time my alarm goes off I had
an alarm with a 8nooe but-
ton a while back and I feel
confident that a college stu-
dent invented that one
Speaking of alarms I
think I have set a record I'm
on my 4th alarm this yeai
You see since I hate to wake
up I hate alarms 1 have a
commentary
we the studv both and la
uiltv aio
Anvono who is intoiosud
