Staff Writer
Axe you interested in
being involved with
student government?
Would you like to be¬
come an active part of
your educational experi¬
ence?
Perhaps you want to Join
committees to help the
causes of your choice.
Whatever your desire is,
you can get involved in
one of over 44 Associated
Students Inc. committees
and earn units or just
experience.
The committee topics
range from AIDS aware¬
ness to the KFSR advisory
board.
In order to join one of
the committees, a student
simply has to drop by the
ASI ofices. located in USU
316, and pick up an
application.
The application will go
past the personnel com¬
mittee to be reviewed and
then the student will be
called back for an inter¬
view.
After the Interview the
personnel committee
recommends whether or
not to accept the student
for the committee and
then the full senate votes
on that students accep¬
tance.

Dr. Lanny Bell, a re¬
nowned archaeologist
from the University of
Chicago, spoke Monday
and Tuesday night about
ancient Egypt.
The focus was on
everything from ancient
art works and hieroglyph¬
ics, to the unique process
of mummifications and
the rights and rituals of
times past.
Bell began the night by
explaining the one thing
that has attracted mil¬
lions of tourists from
around the world-the
importance of pyramids,
the towering tombs that
hold some ofthe worlds
greatest kings-as well as .
some of Egypt's lower
plebians.
Tombs In Egypt were of
"funerary" objects and
were not at first meant to
be showcases as they
later would become, Bell
explained.
Tombs were essentially
at first "holes In the
ground filled with sand,
so that, theoretically,
once the body and the
burial was put into the
ground, the body was to
remain there, eternally, to
be disturbed by tomb
robbers nr archaeologists,
whichever came first."
Bell said.
Bell said that most of
the people who worked on
the pyramids built them
Tombs were es¬
sentially ...
"holes in the
ground filled
with sand... that
... once the body
and the burial
was put into the
ground, the body
was to remain
there, eternally,
to be disturbed by
tomb robbers or
archaeologists,
whichever came
first,"
In times of floods in the
Nile, "like old Works
Progress Administration
projects" of the Great
Depression.
week commitment, plus
any outside work you
decide to do for them.
"Students should not be
scared off by thinking
there'll be a lot of work
involved," said Chris
Volkerts. He is an ASI
Senator and an aid to the
executive branch of the
ASI.
"Even students who
have a Job and a lot of
units can find the time to
participate."
Each standing commit¬
tee ofthe ASI is made-up
of 2-4 students, and 2-5
ASI representatives.
No faculty member is a
part of any of the ASI
standing committees.
Students, once on the
committee, will act as the
ASI members equal.
The students have a
chance to become com¬
mittee chairs." claimed
Volkerts.
They are absolutely
treated as the ASI mem¬
bers complete equal.
After all, the ASI members
are students also."
So far. student involve¬
ment has been low, but
the ASI hopes that par¬
ticipation increases.
In fact, the ASI is ac¬
tively trying to get the
word out on the
commitees. as Volkerts
stated.
"We advertise in the
Daily Collegian, send out
flyers.
"All the Senators are
supposed to be recruiting
people for the commit¬
tees."
Volkerts went on to say
that. "Students have no
reason to think that they
won't get on the commit¬
tee of their choice.
"We want students to
feel they have a voice in
the ASI. which, after all.
they fund."
Application and informa¬
tion are available upon
request at the ASI offices,
and students can apply at
any time.
If ever you wanted to get
involved, or find out what
you can do to help, this is
your opportunity to make
a difference.
