This change will necessitate that
any student who plans to student
tevh during the fall semester
1985 or following semesters
should have all courses which are
'Prerequisite to student teaching
completed prior to the semester of
student teaching. It would be wise
to set an appointment with ad-
visors as soon as possible to
review degree plans and deter-
mine when remaining courses will
be available prior to student
teaching.
Secondary students will teach In
each of their teaching fields for a
total of 12 weeks. Elementary
students will teach 12 weeks.
Elementary student teachers with
an endorsement will teach six

Voting a responsibility of all Americans
By Lisa Everett
Election day November 6
1984 millions of Americans will
rush to (he voting booths to cast
their one voice that will decide the
next president of the United
States.
Unfortunately many of these
Americans will not exactly rush.
Some will walk and some will
drive to the elections depending
on how the car is running and
how that particular day is going in
general. Is the weather good? Is
the house clean? Is election day
this November 6?
No many Americans will not
rush to the voting booths. In fact
In the 1980 Presidential election
one third of the voting age
population were not even
registered to vote. Of the 105
million who were registered to
vote 64 million did not make It to
the polls.
Of the eighteen million
registered college age voters only
Buratti announces contest for
Need a little pocket money?
Here's a way one might earn
some
Dr. David Buratti director of Van
Ellis Theatre announces a contest
for HSU students.
An intentional error was placed
in some of the department's
advertising for the Van Ellis pro-
duction The Prisoner of Second
Avenue.
The first five students not
associated with the production or
the Department of Communica-
tion and Theatre who contact Dr.
Buratti at V.E.T. 206 and identify
the error will win a cash prize.
The Idea started when he notic-
ed that people were not noticing
an error In the rough draft of this
advertising. Buratti decided to run
an experiment using the concept
of perceptual "filling." The adver-
tising was distributed to see if peo-
ple would read the mistakes or
would mentally correct or
overlook the error. So far one per-
son of the many who have seen It
has noticed and mentioned the
of Hardin-Simmons University
Monday October 8 1984
about half or nine million of these
Americans actually voted.
Why didn't these people vote?
Maybe their car really wasn't runn-
ing or perhaps their neighbor
forgot to remind them for the
496th thousandth time.
Maybe the dog ate their voter's
card. Who knows what excuse
they glve--the real reason that
people don't vote Is quite obvious.
People don't vote because they
don't care. Apathy. It is the most
deadly corruption in the world to-
day. It is what allows us to let
children starve Innocent people
to die and evil politicians to rule
our country.
This next election will have a
large impact on some very crucial
problems that our nation Is facing.
The arms race Is perhaps the most
pressing issue. In 1982 Time
magazine wrote that we were
three seconds to midnight on the
doomsday clock. How close are
mistake.
So starting Oct. 8th when
tickets go on sale in the Van Ellis
Theatre's Box Office and running
through Oct. 15 Dr Buratti will
give $5 to the first person $4 to
the second $3 to the third $2 to
the fourth and $1 to the fifth per-
son who identifies the mistake
The comedy opens Oct. 16th
and plays five nights through the
Farrell & Farrell and
Concert slated
Two Christian performing
groups will be appearing In con-
cert at Hardin-Simmons Oct.
25.
Farrell & Farrell and Degarmo &
Key will be performing In Behrens
Chapel sponsored by the
Cowboys Activities Committee.
Tickets for the concert are $7.50
In advance $8.50 at the door
and $6.50 with an HSU ID. All
seats are reserved. The concert
we now In 1984?
This next presidential election
may decide. Consider also that
within four years most of us will be
out in the real world struggling
with an economy that will have
been greatly effected by the next
president.
Other issues Include: abortion
separation of church and state
womens' issues civil rights and
the environment. Some of these
issues may seem minute but they
will affect generations to come.
In the past men have fought
and died for the right to vote. Sad-
ly enough in present days men
sleep through elections. Elections
are an Intricate part of our way of
life.
Like it or not voting is a
responsibility that we all share. For
some people November 6 will be
the first chance to stand up for
their beliefs. Isn't that what being
an American really means?
