The new editor is always ki_nd of getting the hang of things for the first issue, so it is difficult to comment on any situation in a knowledgeable manner. HARRISBURG There are a number of areas that I might choose to delve into with this opening editorial, if I did choose to write one. PRo,ucE I might talk at length about my plans for The Criterion, and IN,. how I hope to improve it in the next year. I would mentioned , how I planned to follow the high standards of the previous editor, Tammy Freeburg, and how I hope i can live up to those standards.

I f0ight also delve into national issues, the kind of thing that every editor likes t_o attack. The recent nuclear uph'eavals in this country might be a good topic, including how the irresponsible use of radioactive materials has resulted in a lot of public concern, bordering on outrage.

An extremely good editorial might be written about the recent Supreme Court rulings that could change every American newspaper. These new rulings allow police to search newspaper offices without warning, looking for evidence. I could express my outrage at this semi-Fascist viewpoint. On the lighter side, I could rehash Springfest. The event My year in review provided a good time for everyone concerned, and I could talk at length about what a benefit the Springfest is to students who are getting a little nervous before finals. ell, the President's Cabinet, the ·first real demonstration of student by-GREG WALCHER Student Affairs staff and student activism since the '60s and It Special to the Criterion Since the new years brings a change in the SBA officers, organizations all have open meet­ made news in Denver.

WHITEWATER MADNESS by J.J. JONES

It turns and churns and rolls around the canyon walls of . Westwater. Old man river, better known as the Colorado, · proves a match for the most skilled boatman. A total of eight series of rapids in Westwater will batter and toss you around as you will be drenched from head to foot with a big smile on your face. Mesa's own river rat, Frank Keller, took 24 folks down the 18-mile journey last Sunday, Aoril 29. . Color the sky a brilliant blue and the sun a golden yellow and a fast moving river brown with white caps. Keller's boatmen for the dav's trio were Brian Goodrich, a veteran· of four years on the river, Aaron (Room of Doom) Vann, and Bruce Miller, both two year aces for Keller's river program . .- The first set of rapids wi II prepare your body for bigger and wetter things to come. They are Wild Horse, Lil Dolores and Marble Canyon. The last five will truly test the skill of a boatman, and they are Funnel Falls, Skull, Crossbones, Sock-it-to-me and Last Chance. One of the many highlights of the day was shooting Skull ) with the ever-present Room of Doom lurking beside you. Simply, Room of Doom is a gigantic back eddy, according to Keller. You can't get out to Room of Doom. Most people have to pack the raft out or BLM rangers come down to motor you ou.t. But credit Brian Goodrich's excellent river knowledge and strength for pulling out the stranded boat. . After a day of rafting with Kei'ler and his crew, the body is Frank [Swamper] Keller has been running the river sunburned and feeling of accomplishment. You just covered raffing program for the past three years at Mesa, 18 miles of the colorado river! Keller says the entire trip is both wild and scenic. The next and it's here to stay as each year the popularity trip is planned for May 19, and Keller is looking forward to of the sport grows. more whitewater adventures during the summer and early September.
