Considering the economy never took off since 07 and there is an expected downturn on the horizon someone better start thinking CAMPAIGN.

As a matter of fact, I received a phone call Tuesday evening from a Freshman co-ed working in the SMU boiler room, "dialing for dollars". She talked about the new dorms and dinning facilities, but had no idea what Joe Perkins Nat. was; thinking that the outdoor Barr pool, with its bubble, was our school's permanent natatorium. And, was unaware of the ground breaking for the new natatorium across Central Exp.

As they say at BYU.....I don't care how you bring'em.......but, bring them young.......and dumb.

PERUNA NEUTERED

Now that is funny!

I'd bet 75% of our students don't know anything about the new nat.

They called me asking for a donation. I told them I had sent mine 2 months ago. They said their records were evidently not updated.
