The Cord Weekly news------ Page 3 ...Thursday, September 14, 1989 Laurier shines in Shinerama for CF fight NORMAN E. WOOD Cord Weekly The next time you see WLUSU President AI Strathdee he may have his hair dyed an alarming purple and white. It's all part of the Shinerama bet Laurier and the University of Waterloo made with the University of Western Ontario. The idea was to see which side could raise $89,000 through Shinerama, part of the "89 in '89" theme. The student government executives of the losing side will dye their hair in the colours of the winning school or schools. If Western wins, Strathdee and the all of WLUSU's Vice-Presidents will have to dye their hair purple and white. Of the three schools involved, only Wilfrid Laurier University seems to have reached its goal. However, the exact results of Shinerama,last Saturday's climax to Frosh Week, are unknown. Laurier raised an estimated $37,000. That is an impressive $3,000 over the goal of $34,000. President Strathdee said that he was "really proud of our Frosh... they did great." When asked about Uni versity of Waterloo's performance he said only that he was "dis appointed. Really disappointed." Strathdee had no comment about the idea of dyeing his hair. University of Waterloo was to raise $55,000 which, combined with Laurier's total, would make the overall goal of $89,000. When asked for an estimate, U of W's Shinerarna Chairperson skirted the is sue, claiming that a lot of money is unaccounted for so far. On the Ob, those crazy Shiners!
