This week we Columbia students have a chance to have our voices heard, or in this case, mak<, our signatures count o n an impor­ tant issue close to our hearts - financ ial aid. Tables are se t up in th e lobbies of both the Main and Wabash buildings with card s ready for your Signatures. These card s are announcing the plight o f the needy student should Congress cut financ ial aid programs for the 1986-87 academic school year. A student delegation will d eliver our mes­ sage to Illinois Senators and Representa­ tives on Capitol Hill. We urge all students to take an extra mo­ ment from rushing to and from classes to spot and help hundreds o f students who will need financial aid to attend Columbia. Also, we hope that you will strive toward becom­ ing a part of the .Washington-bound delega­ tion. One college administrator tel1s us the fu­ ture of Columbia depends upon your help. We know that for many students nationwide, the right to attend a college of their choice is in the hands of Congress. Right now, demanding our congressman to vote NO on all financial aid c uts won't cost you a dime ... just your time, Ignoring this op­ portunity could cost you an education, Catnpuses unite; but not Colutnbia On April 18. students and faculty from all across the United States and Canada gath- ered in Washington, D.C, to lobby against nu­ clear arms. The national sponsor of this meeting was United Campuses to Prevent Nuclear War, an o rgani "!:a tion with over 60 campus charters at 700 col1eges and univer­ sities, Two schools from Chicago were represent­ ed in Washington. Needless to say, Columbia College was not one of them. Columbia prides itself on being Hberal school, dedicated to the freedom of expres­ sion . Columbia centers its curriculum around ex tensive courses in art s and media. Colum­ bia is known and respected for its contribu­ tions towards enhancing the community and educating students in a culturally superior mode. Yet despite all of its aims, Columbia stu­ dents don' t seem to be educated to the world around them , to political issues and to con­ cerns of the human race. The meeting in Washington may seem like an impossible means of protesting such a pertinent issue as nuclear arms control, but it was not the only way, Campuses unable to se nd delegates were urged to support the group' s aims by collecting signed proxy statements to be delivered to partiCipants in WaShington , Columbia students did not take this alternative. There are many who believe that when all else vanishes, art alone will endure. It is a nice thought, but in the event of a nuclear holocaust all living forms h'ill vanish. And no one wil1 remain to appreciate this en­ during art.

By Robert Brooks / Sports Editor

Eight department softball teams have been formed and will pair-off the first weekend in May at Grant Park , Balbo Street and Co­ lumbus Drive, for their first competitions, chairman Eli­ zabeth Conant said last week. The departments will play from 12-6 p.m. for five week­ ends with three weeks de­ voted to head-on competi­ tion and two to playoffs, Conant said. The weekends set are May 4-5, 11-12, 18-19, June 1-2, and 8-9. The eight teams are Fine Arts (consisting of AEMMP, Theatre, Music, Art and O"ance majors), two Televi­ sion teams, Film, Radio, Writing/Advertising. and a Cronicle/House team. Students and faculty members interested in play­ ing on the Cronicle/ House team can sign up in the Chronicle offices, Room B-l06, 600 Michigan Ave. and a manager is needed.
