WISCONSIN 7 THE "W" ... Bruce Steinbock, with Washburn University brought us up to date with some of the many activities occurring at Washburn. The perceived problem, By Wisconsin University and the Washburn University "W" have been settled. Washburn has a number of things to correct so that Wisconsin will not feel that Washburn has infringed on their trademarked "W". Can you say Nit-Picky on the part of Wisconsin. Bruce also talked about two former Washburn football players who currently are on the NFL"S San Francisco 49'ers football team. From Porubsky's to Pier 39. Only in America
OUR VERY OWN…Ted Heim will be the speaker next week. He will be orating on one of his favorite things—The DODG program. Please be there to hear a very interesting and off-times moving account of how this program touches and helps young people who are in a “difficult time of their life.”

“TWO DUDES”…Downtown Optimist Discussion Group, DODG. Ted Hein gave us a personal review of the program he helped establish over 13 years ago. During all that time very Friday, at 3 p.m. he reads to young people (Age 12-17) from books purchased by our club. The individuals who are locked up in the Youth detention center look forward to Ted and his assistant reading to them. The young people have named them “the two dudes.” With deep appreciation and our respect we say to Ted, Ken Kerle and all who help him, “Thank you, Dude.”
