'Revolution' Plans Finalized

The "Committi" in charge of the May Revolution met on Monday, Feb. 25 to finalize ideas and decide who would be in charge of the different events.

The Student Executive Committee voted on Feb. 26 to give the "Committi" $500 for the chicken barbecue, which will signal the end of the weekend of festivities. This money brings the total budget of the Revolution to $1100, $600 of which came from College President Leigh Gerdine.

In the same meeting (the) SEC decided not to allow a student versus Webster Groves Police Department softball game, which had been proposed at the "Committi's" meeting. The softball game has been changed to a student versus faculty game.

Sam Conviser, the "Committi" chairman, says that "the Committi is in need of volunters," and anyone wishing to participate should contact him through Resident Box 173. Also, anyone wishing to participate in any specific event should contact the person in charge of that event.

For the Student Film Festival, contact Raul Mignucci; Chicken Barbeque, John Kyle or Greg Gerber; The Battle, Jim Elmore; Faculty vs. Student Baseball (sic) game, Art Sandler.

May Revolution is ready with beer, food and films

The May Revolution is "ready to roll," according to Sam Conviser, chairman of the "Committi," which is planning the event scheduled for this weekend. "All we need is nice weather and I think we'll have a successful revolution," Conviser said.

"The main reason we organized the Revolution was to end the school year with something everyone in the College community could get involved in," he added. "We feel we have a wide variety of events scheduled for the weekend, and something should appeal to everyone. We've ordered eight kegs of beer for the weekend - that's something that should appeal to most everyone."

Conviser said some changes have been made since news of the Revolution was first released. "We decided that whipped cream would be better for the battle than shaving cream. Our motto for the weekend is 'Let's Get Naked' and we thought that if everyone was licking whipped cream off everyone else it would be kind of romantic, and besides, it tastes better than shaving cream. We've also scheduled more things for outdoors, but we'll still be able to go inside if the weather doesn't cooperate."

The events scheduled for the May Revolution are:

• the First Annual Webster College Student Film Festival, consisting entirely of student-made films, from 6:30 to 9:00pm on Friday in Winfred Moore Auditorium,
• a "Let's Get Naked Dance" in the cafeteria from 9pm to 1am Friday,
• the battle between the Webster College Free Militia and what Militia Commander Jim Elmore calls "the freaks." All participants should wear old clothes and meet behind the Music Building at 1pm Saturday,
• a "Let's Get Naked Concert" behind the Red Carpet, beginning at 5pm Saturday,
• a faculty-student softball game, beginning at 1pm Sunday on Eden Field, and
• a chicken barbecue beginning at 5pm Sunday, behind the Red Carpet.

All events are free to the Webster College community and anyone who wants to participate is welcome, according to Conviser. He emphasized that anyone who would like to help with the May Revolution should contact him.
