Just to continue a bit on last week's article, I don't know whether I should apologize to any of the faculties mentioned or justiﬁ my position taken. let me just say to anybody who I offended by stating an untruth then I am sincerely sorry, but \ if I rubbed you the wrong way'and was correct in doing so, then don't think for one minute I just apologized to you.

'Ihe title of the article was "What are You Planning for Next Year?" ' but seemed to get lost in thediscussion of training, education, oil fields, university roles and banks.

‘Just to summarize what I

Steve started the evening evening's entertainment ' with a number of selections on the piano, "Old Man River" I "Imagine", "Day Sweet La ", were among the songs he chose. His talent for the piano was also demonstrated in such popular instrumentals as "’Ihe Homecoming" and "The Entertainer".

Throughout the evening his ability as a song writer was also displayed. One composition in , particular is entitled

, "Peace, Hope and love",

a song written about six months ago.

Bert and Rick Tersteeg added a special flair to

- the evening when they

introduced for the first time at "The Exchange"

the captivating music of the cello. A very obvious change from the usual style cfrmusic found at coffee shops! Also included in their

worried about a job. Here is where the B.A. and B.B.A. go in their separate ways. Is this wrong? 'Ib each his own is an overused statement but fits the bill here. The dictionary uses the words educated and trained interchangeably but I feel an educated person has touched many areas lightly and a trained person concen- trates the majority of his efforts in one area. 'mis is an important distinction. To our engineering students and science majors who thought that they were being spoken of, then rest easy and keep on studying. Especially the engineers because we business people will be looking to hire a top— notch engineer to work for us in the future. (Have I started again?)
