ROD Jennifer Irwin
introduced Rex Nelson, Director of Policy and Communications,
Office of the

as it is easier to institute a policy change than a cultural one.

ROD Jennifer Irwin
gave us Joe Murphy, Vice President for the Wal-Mart and
SAM'S CLUB TV Networks. We saw a presen-tation on how to get the shopper's
attention, since we are bombarded with so much infor-mation...his company
gets our attention in the stores themselves, on a private network.

ROD Jennifer Irwin
gave us substitute speaker John Patrick, a weatherman at Arkansas'
NBC 24/51. Our scheduled speaker was out storm chasing. This

safety tips for us during this time.
Apr 29: ROD
Jennifer
Irwin gave us Kevin Trainer, Sports Info. Dir.
at UofA. Al-though
