Hunzeker has made fun of everyone from Bob Dole to Christopher Reeves (Superman). Many times, I don't share Hunzeker's views. Perhaps our adver- tisers don't either. But it doesn't matter. The columnist's opinions arc valid and should not be excluded from the opinion section, where any BSU student's view will be published. Each opinion is needed to contrast another in order to form a bal- .anced section.

In memory of Marj A very good friend and d'edicated employee of BSU recently passed away. I would sincerely appreciate it if you would honor her memory by printing my briefremarks. They say that you can measure the virtue of an individual by observing their influence upon the lives ofthose whom they touch. , I My friend, co-worker and confidant, Marj Billings, has had a pro- 1 found impact upon each and every individual who had the opportu- nity to serve in the Associated Students of Boise . State University offices. It is her memory that I hope will not soon be forgollen. As the administrative secre- tary for ASBSU, Marj was always quick to listen and slow to speak. As many aggressive, assertive and ambitious personalities passed through the halls of ASBSU, she treated each and everyone of them with a healthy dose of respect and just a sprinkle of motherly love. Marj rep- resented everything good in a person. I know she was a dedicated employee, a loving mother and most of all, a devoted wife. The world needs more friends like Marj. For it is of little impor- tance how an individual passes away, but how one lives. Perhaps Aristotle put it best. To the query, "What is a friend?" his reply was "A single soul dwelling in two bodies." Marj's memory and contribution to the lives of innumerable stu- dents, faculty and staff lives in each and everyone of us. For that, I will never forget her. Thank you, Marj.

As part of the Outreach Program's "Profiles in Success," Judd took the stage in the Jordan Ballroom to speak last Friday about her "Healing Journey." After congratulating herself on having been "rhinestone-free for six years," Judd related how her journey toward healing began, not in 1990 when she was told she had contracted Hepatitis C, but years ". earlier. .
