The Feast of Fools was a day of the year when fools in a town took over and poked fun at the pom­ pous airs of the priests and magistrates of the town. Just as this tended to keep the humility and humanity in the hierarchy, so do the clowns around Jesus in "Godspell" remind the audience to keep simplicity and joy in their religion and lives. The New Testament concept of a God of love and understanding is con- sumated by presenting the bible as a joyous celebration.

Main Objective The Bureau's main objective is to provide educational and en­ tertaining speakers for the student body, free of charge. In addition, these speakers bring publicity to the University of San Diego campus, and makes the surrounding community aware of what's happening on "the hill". At the moment, the Bureau is busy with upcoming speakers for the remainder of this semester. The first was Dr. Maxwell Maltz, who is a well-known plastic surgeon. He is best known for his works in Psycho-cybernetics. The next speaker is the famous John Novak. He will be speaking and demonstrating his talents on November 15 and 16. John Novak iS considered the greatest hyp­ notist in the country, as well as magician, escape artist, and pickpocket. Students will be admitted free at one per­ formance. The Bureau is opening up this particular program to Associated Student Body clubs and individual students to let them make money for their own benefits. Since tickets can and ,jwill be sold off campus, the Bureau needs the assistance of Left to right: Tom Vasile; Anthony Anthenili; Chuck LiMandri, director of Speakers Bureau; Tom Cosgrove; and John Novak. Page 2 VISTA October 8,1974 Editorial The right to vote - use it wisely Whether it be in a State election or the student senate elections on campus which are slated for Oct. 18, it is very important to exercise one's voting privilege wisely. An intelligent or aware voter does not pick a name randomly from the list of names on the ballot, nor does he judge his opponents on the "lesser of the two evils" basis. He also does not see how some of his colleagues who happen to be conservative vote, and then vote the op­ posite way. Rather, he evaluates the facts available to him through the varying medias and judges for himself what he deems of worthwhile note about one candidate or another. By this method it is worth remembering: "You can't believe everything you read and or hear." This reminds us that one should have an open mind to all forms of communication which transmit information about the various candidates. Neither newspapers or the radio can give one a totally unbiased outlook or perspective on an upcoming race. Some newspapers take a stand on certain political matters which may be seen in the way they present the news. Each broadcaster chooses what he feels the public should know, so already our access to all the information is limited. We cannot be aware of everything that is happening in the world firsthand because we are not eyewitness to each event as it occurs. We further subjectively break down the information which is relayed to us by sorting out what we feel is important and remembering it, and discarding what we feel is irrelevant to our decision about a candidate. Unfortunately these personal "methods" used by voters to arrive at a conclusion about the candidate, are almost as bad as if they did not vote at all. Just because you have Italian ancestry and a name on the ^FREEDOM'S ballot "sounds Italian" does not mean that this is the right man to vote for. Many voters use in some way or another the "lesser of the two evils" approach in that they choose the candidate who they agree with the majority of the time. Therefore, no complaints should be heard from a person who did not act on one of the most powerful ways of expressing your opinion — the ^GUARANTEE right to vote. The vote is a powerful instrument and if used in the right way can be the start of many great changes and improvements. Comment: Elections should not be taken lightly on either the state or campus level. Each has their own purpose or we would not exist in the first place. Student senate is one of the channels by which change can be Esse est Aedeficere brought about at the University. It is not just those who vote in the senate who make the changes, but it is really the vote of all the students who choose the people to represent them.
