We assembled in the Dr. James D. Young Rotary Room at CSUF and the box lunch repast was provided by CSUF. Everybody dutifully took classroom seats (The backs swivel back! Those hardchairs of public school are a thing of the past for today's college student body!)

Following the Pledge, PRES OATES asked someone to hum a B flat to cue the Rotarians assembled for "SMILE". No takers, so as BOB CLARK, JR. allowed that his singing would always "be flat", the brethren and sistren followed his lead acapella in B "really" flat.

No piano being available, DON LUDWIG" gave the "Thought for the Day". It was a great story about a Scotch nobleman who befriended the son of a poor Scottish farmer and paid for his education. The boy grew up to be the physician who developed penicillin, Dr. Alexander Fleming. Years later, the son of the wealthy Scotsman was spared death from a disease by the use of penicillin. That was Winston S. Churchill. As DON concluded, "What goes around, comes around".

RECOGNITION:

Lee helmsman Recognition Chairman JIM WILLIAMS took the rudder.

KEN KAISCH got mast for an alleged rotator cuff surgery but not displaying any bandages. (What vigorous wrist activity trauma does a man of the cloth experience at the manse?)

THE PROGRAM: "USING ADVANCED COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM OR IN BUSINESS"

Speaker DOUG CRISPEN launched into a mesmerizing display of skill in state-of-the-art use of advanced techniques of POWERPOINT.

( A cursory view of the faces of the Rotarians present indicated 25% understood what Microsoft Producer, CAMTASIO and EXCEL were; 45% were with him on PCs and DESKTOP; 30% thought POWERPOINT had something to do with ingnition timing on PRE-1947 automobiles. We were all reassured that mastering this arcane technology was easy. "Cool", as DOUG put it. The lesson learned from this dazzling presentation was that high level computer technology and programing is here to stay and the tools of business and engineering trade need to be mastered.

PREZ MIKE enjoined the Rotarians to be "mess strikers" and police their box lunches as CSUF janitorial staff will probably be reduced when the State Legislature gets around to the CSU budget.

Thought for the Day" was a THOUGHT
