t The Battalion Opinion uesday April j Service to community proves own reward I’m sorry Aaron Meier feels so disgusted at helping his fellow man. Let me tell you about my experience at Big Event. I went with two other people to an older couple’s house in Bryan. They have a big tree in their backyard but lacked the energy to rake it, so the three of us spent the whole day. gathering over 40 bags of leaves. They fed us homemade chili for lunch and made us feel like part of the family. Al though what we did was nothing earth shat tering, the appreciation that the couple showed made me feel good about myself the rest of the semester. I’ll admit that not everyone that receives Big Event services is poor and weak. It’s not supposed to be. Big Event is a service pro vided to all members of the community to show our appreciation for putting up with us “beer-guzzling, ax-wielding morons” (and you have to admit, we must be pretty hard to put up with sometimes). Sure, maybe that teenager could have done the work, but was it really so bad to do a favor for someone in the community? If we can get 3,000 students together on a Saturday to help someone in their community, "some thing of true worth” is definitely accom plished. I’d say that’s a pretty big event. Lisa Peterson Class of’00 Battalion coverage posesses bias slant I am saddened and disappointed by The Battalion's extremely biased coverage of Saturday’s pro-choice rally on campus. In a story headlined “Pro-lifers watch pro-choice rally in silence,” reporter Amanda Smith chose to focus on the handful of anti-choice demonstrators at the rally instead of on the sizable con tingent of pro-choice advocates who spoke about a woman's rij It is improper to pretemi quiet demonstratorsweret^ point of this rally.
