problem.
Apathy concerns poologist
Jack White, the only poologist to play
before four United States presidents, did
more than play pool at the College this week.
White expressed his concern about student
apathy.
"I hear you have a problem with apathy
at your school. Why? Why does everybody
find time to come to my show?" said White.
"Quality," said former assistant to the
ASG president, Gerry Bellavita.
"Other performers are good and some
even better," White said.
Entertainment was the cry from several
students in the back.
White suggested that the entertainment be
selected by calling other schools in the area
and seeing what the big interest and crowd
pleaser is for them.

according to their appeal not what you think
might be a good show, White said.
"The most important thing in the world
is money. My advice to you is be concerned
where your money is going," White said.
Approximately 10 percent of the tuition
fee is used by the ASG for student activities,
according to Mitch Newton, ASG senator.
"You have a lot of money in there. Let
them know your feelings, desires and interest.
Take advantage of the money," White said.
"Give them feedback, otherwise how do

he said.
"Talk to Mike McCarty, ASG president.
He's the man you want to talk to. We need
the input, particularly at ASG meetings,"
Newton said.
"Apathy is dumb and unnecessary," said
White.
"I'd like to see you get your act
together."
