If we believe in the purpose and ideals of the Universi ty, our actions and endea­ vors in and through the Guild will be almost auto­ matic. But it is not just what the Guild can do for the University. This is a two-way street - not by de­ REPORT of the mand but by choice. Let me explain.

One day in January, I sa t at my desk in our home in Boulder thinking about what I would say in this re­ port to you. I could look out of t he window in my room and see the mountains, only a sca nt two blocks away, covered with beautiful snow, topped with the bluest sky that you ca n imagine. And I knew that t his report could not be a statistica l report, or simply a preview of things that will be happening during these sess ions here on campus - although I will tell you a little of that. This report had to be more perso nal than that. No matter where we live, all of us under this bl ue sky have a number of things in com­ mon. Our first bond is in Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Our second is our belief in and our dedicat ion to this Valparaiso Universi ty. Members from the Eastern chapters Ill were directed by Carol Petzold.

It is my abso lute belief that when people KNOW there is a need, they will respond. And this is orobablv how I will approach our needs and goa ls with you. If we have a need, I will tell you. BUT THIS DEMANDS SOMETHING PRECISE FROM ME. My directive is to present the " need" so precisely and completely that you w ill not hesitate to respord. Th is honesty demands so mething else of me. That i ~, that I eval uate things as I see them and tell you of my evaluation. This means trying to get all the facts first and then acting.
