Cousteau visits campus by Chris Postma news reporter ';.^^c'&^.^ ^ Jean-Michel Cousteau, en-vironmehtarfet, ocean explorer and son of Jacques Cousteau was a guest speaker at a C-400 ban-quet on Monday evening. The main them of Cousteau's presentation which included three films was the future of the earth, animals and mankind. Cousteau is the founding direc-tor and executive vice president of the Cousteau's Society and the LeFondement de Cousteau in France. He is also directing the design and development of Cousteau Ocean Centers, parks that have the Ocean as the main theme. Cousteau received an honorary degree from Pepperdine Univer-sity for his contribution to educa-tion and has becomt* actively sought as a speaker around the world. Cousteau's father once told him as they were releasing a recuperated River Otter in the Amazon, "You know, Jean- Michel, people protect what they love." Because of the~impact that his father had in his life, Jean-Michd wenton to produce the televised film series "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau/' and later producing "Jacques Cousteair The First 75 Years." $m&W Jean-Michel shared many ex-periences with the audience that happened while he was growing up. He told of experiences in the South of France, diving in the cold waters of the Bering Strait, and observing Killer Whales feed on seven and eight foot long s h a r k s / "When people ask me, Jean- Michel, do you think the human race has a chance? My head says no but my heart says yes." Cousteau said. "With our hearts we can make miracles," said Cousteau, "we have to stop paying with the money of yesterday for the future." Jean-Michel used an analogy to ddescribe the human race and whether or not it will continue to make it >, "Life is like an airplane and every animal that dies is like pull-ing a rivet out of it Soon we will have pulled out too many rivets and the airplane will not be able to fly. "In the past man has said that we are to look to the sea for food and other resources/' Cousteau said, "but 70 percent to 72 per-cent of the ocean is a biological desert So, we can't look to the ocean for the future." Compassion '89 sets goal to help Third World Countries by Eric J. Dull news reporter When we focus on problems in the world, the question of what can be done to help often arises. With this question in mind, the Global Con-cerns Committee of the Campus Ministry Commission is kicking off Compassion '89. Everybody likes to make a difference and Compassion '89 is a way to accomplish this. Compassion is a Christian organization that focuses on helping children from Third World Coun-tries. For just $21 a month, a child can be provided with food, educa-tion, clothes and spiritual guidance. It's the spiritual aspect that commit-tee member Craig Schwalbe feels makes this organization such a good one. "Compassion is something that helps us think globally," said Schwalbe. "It helps us realize that we can make a dent on poverty and spread the news that Jesus com-mands of us." Schwalbe went on to say that Compassion '89 will be a good way to accomplish a concrete goal, "It is a real action towards change for a better world." The Global Concerns Committee wants to stress the fact that students can combine their resources together with friends, floormates, family or whoever, to contribute the $21 per month, lessening the burden. Committee member Maren Swensen puts things in perspective when she says, "$21 a month breaks down to about $.70 a day. If we sacrifice a can of pop a day, we can help feed a child." If one com-bined that amount with others' con-tributions, they obviously wouldn't even 'Compassion is something that helps us think globally." Craig Schwalbe junior has to say about poverty. It will start at 7:30 p.m. and includes an optional overnight stay. Much of the material being used is from the Compassion organization. The emphasis therefore will be on Third World Poverty. "It is really good for us in a com-fortable society to see how our brothers and sisters live around the world," said Swensen.
