Famed Association To Perform
At Winter Frolics Concert
by SAM PEPPER
'Comber Editor-in-Chief
One of the nation's top perform-
ing pop groups in popularity and
record sales, "The Association"
will kick off the 1968 Palm Beach
Junior College Winter Frolics,
October 18th concert at the West
Palm Beach Municipal Auditori-
um.
According to Larry Kfasulak,
Social Chairman of the S G.A.
Spirit and Traditions Board, "The
Association" represents the first
■time a group of this caliber and
-current popularity has been
booked for a PBJC function. "Our
problem in the past," he said,
"has been strictly one of money!
We have never been able to af-
ford a group or artist who enjoys
a. national reputation like "The
Association." Such groups can be
booked only on guarantees of
$10,000 to $15,000 and up for a
performance. Our social budget
cannot stand this type of drain for
PBJC Circle K
Gets New Name
Six delegates from PBJC attend-
ed the 13th Annual Circle K Con-
vention in Philadelphia.
Charlie Elderd, President of
Circle K, said the convention was
a real beneficial program to the
club and members. Elderd also
added, "Florida was a real power-
house in interviewing candidates
jfor Circle K International and
|discussing Florida's part in a dues
bicrease."
s The convention concluded with
'Florida being officially named
*s "Little International."
a single performance as our entire
social budget for one calendar
year has been running around
$8,000 a year."
Stressing that many students
have approached him and other
SGA members with a desire to
have better known talent at
campus social activities, Chair-
man Krasulak went on to say
that the forthcoming "Association"
concert is an attempt to bring top
talent to the student body in an-
swer to their request
'"However," he stated, "our
budget for this type of talent must
of necessity be underwritten by
an additional cost to the student,
as current funds will not defray the
expense of booking such artists."
Krasulak added, "I think many
students will remember the disap-
pointment we had this spring
when Tommy James and the Shon-
dells failed to appear for the 1968
spring frolics."
The money allocated for this
performance, a sum of $2,500, is
to be used to help pay the ex-
pense of the concert by "The As-
sociation."
"Even with this $2,500," con-
tinued Chairman Krasulak," it is
necessary to charge the students
over and above their current Ac-
tivities Fee in order to meet ex-
penses for the concert."
"I believe, however, that the
program we have arranged for
Winter Frolics will prove to be
the finest sn far, and the students
will find the extra cost well worth-
while."
Regular tickets to the "Associa-
tion" concert will be on sale (by
the Auditorium) to the general
public at $4.50, $4.00 and $3.00 per
seat.
PBJC students, through the SGA

$2.00 per ticket for the seat of
the student's choice.
This means that a $4.50 seat
costs the student $2.00, a $4.00
seat costs $1.50, and a $3.00 seat
may be obtained for $1.00. "We
have thus made it possible for
the student to see "The Associa-
tion" for the price of a movie by
underwriting that portion of the
ticket cost which the budget of
the SGA Social Chairman can af-
ford 1 " commented Krasulak.
"This means that $6,000 plus,
of the expense of "The Associa-
tion" concert, will be paid out of
the social fund (if 3,000 tickets are
sold) which is part of .the students'
Activity Fee."
Tickets are available at the col-
lege bookstore between the hours
of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. until Sept.
27th.
Student ID cards are required
for the special PBJC student
prices.
For dates and guests without
ID cards, additional tickets (ex-
cept the $3.00 seat) may be pur-
chased at $.50 off the regular
price Therefore $4.50 seats are
$4.00, and $4.00 seats are $3.50.
However, there are only 3,242
seats available.

Lack Of Black Involvement Here
Triggers Hew Afro-American Club
by S,UZANNE LASH
'Comber News Editor
"There is a need for black uni-
ty on campus and a need for
blacks to organize themselves for
a voice in campus activities. The
black people should be a more
integral part of the campus",
stated Willie Buchanan, initiator
and provisionary Treasurer of the
recently evolved Organization of
Afro-American Affairs.
A main objective of the OAA is
to effect communication and inter-
action between Afro-American stu-
dents and the members of the
community, providing a ■congenial
social atmosphere for Afro-Ameri-
can students at PBJC. Feeling
that there has been too little par-
ticipation of black students in
campus organizations previously,
the coordinating committee of the
OAA hopes that "the OAA will
appeal to those not caring to par-
ticipate in other organizations."
Further goals of the Organiza-
tion of Afro-American Affairs in-
clude promoting a general aware-
ness of Afro-American culture,
supporting curricula in Afro-
American history and related
courses, and aiding in reducing the
effects of racial discrimination.
Pursuing these purposes the
OAA proposes to establish a repre-
sentative voice in Student Govern-
ment at PBJC for Afro-American
Students and to promote aware-
ness of Afro-American culture
through assemblies which are so
oriented. This would include hav-
ing local and national black lead-
ers address the student body.
Membership in the OAA is open
to all full time students maintain-
ing a cumulative average of 2.0 or
better. First term Freshmen are
ineligible. All students meeting
these requirements may apply to
the OAA executive committee for
reviewal and decision.
Encouraged and supported by
the OAA is the workshop course
in Afro-American studies being
offered at PBJC on Thursday
evenings during the fall term.
Mrs. Trinette Robinson, of the
Social Science faculty, who serves
as instructor and coordinator of
the workshop, explained that the
course will be "concerned with the
history of the Afro- American, with
emphasis on his origins, enslave-
ment, subculture and his struggle
for civil rights and human dig-
nity."
PBJC Graduate Tony Benjamin
Awarded Political Intern Spot
PBJC graduate, Tony Benjamin
has been selected by Florida Con-
gressman Paul. G. Rogers to
represent the junior college as
a political intern m Washington,
D. C.
Benjamin was one of three stu-
dents selected for the program
from the 9th Congressional Dis-
trict, which Rogers represents.
The interns were chosen on the
basis of their academic record
and a written statement submitted
to a panel of Social Science in-
structors telling why they thought
they should be selected.
One student was picked from
each of the three junior colleges
in the 9th District, Palm Beach
Indian River and Edison.

Become Involved
The SGA has gotten "involved" for the student by bringing
him one of the nations top recording groups, the "Association."
Your elected student leaders have shown that they care by
attempting to do whatever they can to serve you to their fullest
extent.
The many ways in which the SGA represents you goes be-
yond the mere selection of entertainment.
Through opinion polls they seek to find what you the student
really wants.
However, you don't have to wait to be sought to get involved.
At the two recent national political nominating conventions,
young people demanded . . . and were heard.
Students do play an important part in forming policy on
our campus and they are assuming a very important role in
helping to shape national policy as was indicated at the con-
ventions.
On our campus the student can be heard through their
elected SGA representatives in the student. He may even be-
come personally involved by filing for candidancy in the
forthcoming freshmen and sophomore senate elections. Those
who prefer not to run are urged to express their views and
opinions by exerqsing their privilege to vote.
Elections on the PBJC campus are an important function,
in showing the college student how he may get involved in
government, whatever the level.
Afro's Organize
The black student at PBJC has requested and has received
a charter authorizing the formation of the Organization of
Afro- American Affairs.
Membership to the organization is not restricted to Afro-
Americans but is open to all full-time students who have an
established 2.0 grade average.
We believe that organizations of this type canjoster a better
understanding among the various races and cultures, being a
benefit to not only the campus, but also to the community.
However, we feel that there has been an obvious lack of
participation by the Negro student in a majority of campus
activities.
PBJC has always extended a welcome to the black student
even prior to the closing of Roosevelt Junior College.
The Beachcomber, as the voice of the student, is dedicated
to support those organizations which will bring about the
betterment of the PBJC campus community.

Voice Of The Students
Questions Motivate Controversy
Dear Editor:
One of the biggest controversies
on campus this fall seems to stem
around this series of questions:
1. Why are we, the students,
paying for Frolics tickets?
2. Why are we, the students,
paying an Activity Fee?
3. Who is responsible for the
handling of Frolics"— Larry
Krasulak or Rodney Smith?
4. Why can't Frolics be held
on our .campus?
5. Why can't so and so be al-
located funds for this and
that?

John Connolly, coach and Faculty
Advisor.
Starting the week of September

Tuesday and Thursday afternoons,
September 5, 10, and 12. However,
if these dates conflict with a stu-
dent's schedule, he may leave his

Resolved — "That executive con-
trol of the United States foreign
policy should be significantly cur-

United States. In this category
particular emphasis will be placed
on the civil disorders on college
campuses.

McCarthy Strong National Victor
Nixon - PBJC Winner By Four
by CRAIG HEYL
•< oinlier Asbociato Editor
Results of the April 24th na-
tionwide collegiate presidential pri-
mary election showed Senator Eu-
gene McCarthy decisively outscor-
wg a large field of announced and
unannounced candidates.
The National Collegiate Presi-
dential Primary, jointly sponsored
by Sperry Rand's Univac Division
and TIME magazine, polled over
one million students on over 1200
campuses in Choice '68.
Of the 1,072,830 votes cast, Mc-
Carthy was the first choice of
285,988, followed by Senator Rob-
ert Kennedy with 213,832 votes
and Richard Nixon third with 197,-
167 votes. Over 44% of the stu-
dents who voted will be eligible
to go to the polls this November.
At PBJC, Nixon edged McCarthy
by only four votes. Nixon received
214 and McCarthy 210 of the 649
first place votes cast by the stu-
dents attending Spring Term I.
The vote was held at this time on
our campus because we are on a
tri-mester system rather than a
quarter system like the majority
of the other campuses polled.
Other candidates finished in the
following order: Wallace, 91; Ken-
nedy, 50: Rockefeller, 40; Hum-
phrey, 22 (write-in); Reagan, 10;
Lindsey, 9; Halstead, Stasson, and
President Johnson each garnered
one vote a piece.
Total first place votes, in the
nationwide primary, for other
leading candidates were 115,937
for Rockefeller, who had not an-
nounced his candidacy when the
vote was held, and 57,362 for
President Johnson who had with-
drawn his.
Vice President Humphrey, who
was net on the ballot, collected
18,535 write-in votes, over 60 c/ r of
all write-ins cast. No other candi-
date received a significant write-
in vote nationally or locally.
Students also indicated their
second and thud choices for presi-
dent on the ballot. McCarthy led
in second choices with 203,820 na-
tionally, 306 locally; followed by
Kennedy with 175,914 nationally,
101 locally; Rockefeller third with
170,319 nationally but placed 5th
locally with 12; and Nixon with
118,960 nationally and 3rd locally
with 86 votes.
No other actual or potential
candidate made a significant show-
ing in first place votes. Among
them, however, George Wallace
garnered 33,078 votes, Ronald
Reagan 28,215, and John Lind-

THE STUDENTS' CHOICE - Fish-eye lens catches operation

giate Presidential Primary on April 24.
sey 22,301. The Socialist Worker
candidate, Fred Halstead, man-
aged under six thousand votes
while Harold Stassen barely ex-
ceeded one thousand.
McCarthy scored well in all parts
of the country but built his lead
particularly in the East, where he
led Kennedy by a large margin.
In the South, Kennedy was the
leading Democratic candidate,
but Nixon outpolled both Kennedy
and McCarthy in the southern
states.
Some 11,000 foreign students al-
so voted in the election, register-
ing 36 r f of their vote for Kennedy.
McCarthy was the foreign stu-
dents second choice with 28 r '<.
Over 90Tk of the indicated total
student vote registered their party
preference as Democratic, fol-
lowed by Independent and then
Republican. Locally, 226 listed
themselves as Democrats, 335 as
Skippers do it!
Republicans, and 188 as Independ-
ents.
Within Democratic ranks party
support was greater for Kennedy
than McCarthy, but the Minnesota
Senator showed greater strength
among Republicans and Independ-
ents. Among Republicans, Rock-
efeller drew considerable support
outside his party.
Although running fourth in
CHOICE '68, New York's Gover-
nor Rockefeller polled the highest
number of combined second and
third place votes.

The question has been asked, "What is the significance of
the Choice '68 vote?"
The significance ought to be easy to see: the pundits, from
Headers Digest to the Washington columnists, who have been
saymg that the majority of the students aren't as much against
the war, aren't as left wing as the demonstrations make it
appear, are wrong.
A look at two sample sets of statistics points this out:
-More than 62% of the students voted against the war, with
45% calling for a phased reduction of the American military
commitment and 17% demanding immediate withdraw!. Less
than half that number, 30%, favored an increase or all out
military effort. A miserable seven per cent supported the
present policy.
If one divides the candidates into two groups, the "liberals"
and the "conservatives," the students voted overwhelmingly
61.6% to 30.4%, for the "liberals."
Such a division is partially arbitrary, of course. But one can
group nine candidates-McCarthy, Kennedy, Rockefeller, Lind-
stey, Percy, Hatfield, Halstead, King, and Stassen - as "liberals"
on the basis of their desire for some kind of end to the war,
and swift decisive action to deal with the problems of racism
and poverty. The other five candidates-Nixon, Johnson,
Humphrey, Wallace, and Reagan -can be classified as "con-
servatives," with the basic view of continuing the fight in
Vietnam and using force to put down racial unrest.
Both sets of statistics, then, make the point clear: a sub-
stantial majority of students-almost two-thirds-oppose the
war and want action to bring black people into full participa-
tion in the society.
This is not to say thai activists-the kind who take over
administration buildings when intransigent administrations
balk at even miniscule change-are in the majority. But it is
obvious that their causes, if not their tactics, or their proposed
solutions, have the support of a majority of students.
But the press and the establishment view (which the press
as a whole represents) is unable to see this, probably because
they don't want to see it.
The emphasis given by the press is one of the keys, not
just in "morning after" coverage (which was lousy-page 27
in the New York Times, no mention in the Washington Post),
but in the following weeks and months.
The press could have made Choice '68 as significant as New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, or Indiana. But it didn't. It took
an incident like the demonstration in Chicago to show our
discontentment with the choice of the party's nominee, for dur
voices to be heard.
^ Some in the press have tried to discredit the vote in Choice
©8, because of the turn-out, (although more people voted than
did in the New Hampshire or Massachusetts primaries) and
the fact that Vice President Humphrey wasn't on the ballot.
But the press chose to ignore it, which meant that it's im-
pact was slight and those in the Establishment, like conven-
tion pawnbrokers who are inclined to ignore students any
way, were able to do so.
It is safe to say, m my opinion, that a majority of the students
who voted in Choice '68 still believe in the American political
system. But if a million such students can make their opinion
so clearly known and yet be laughed at, or ignored, then the
message from the Establishment to the students will also be
clear: We aren't going to pay any attention to your views. The
only way you can win a hearing is to interfere with us so
blatantly that we have to notice you.

Perhaps the onlooker is some-
what taken back at his first
glimpse of what are obviously five
adult males, very obviously
dressed in tiny-tot garb, complete
with beanies and little-boy over-
alls. The surprise soon turns to
pleasure, however, as the "Mama's
Boys" play everything from soft-
rock to psychedelic music to suit
every music-lover.
The "Mama's Boys" have ap-
peared in concert from the windy
city of Chicago, their former
headquarters, to the gold coast
of Miami, with such well-knowns
as "The Beach Boys" and "Sonny
and Cher." They have played on
college campuses in the north
and south and have toured up and
down the coast. The group Is to
record an album to be released in
the near future.
The "Mama's Boys" will toddle
their way onto the stage at PBJC
for part of the annual Winter
Frolics tradition, presenting a
dance and show Saturday eve-
ning, October 19, from 8 p.m. to
12 p.m. in the gymnasium.
SGA is bringing the "Mania's
Boys" to the students free, with
just an ID check at the door Sat-
urday night. This dance and show
is to be >part of the week-end-long
entertainment which begins with
"The Association" in concert on
Friday evening, October 18, in
the West Palm Beach Audito-
rium.
A solid feature is being oriented
this year with regard to enter-
tainment groups to be seen on
campus by the student body. All
bands, or musical groups, are be-
ing auditioned by the Spirit and
Traditions Board before being
signed.
"For the first time in a PBJC
contract with a musical group, a
non-cancellation under any con-
ditions' clause is being definitely
provided," commented Larry
Krasulak, Social Chairman. "We
feel that is what the students have
been waiting for."

Roy E. Bell, an instructor in the
Health and Physical Education
Department at Palm Beach Junior
College since 1958 has been ap-
pointed Intramural Director, ac-
cording to Mrs. Elisabeth Erling,
department chairman.
The position involves planning,
organization, and administration
of the extensive intramural and
extramural program carried on at
the college, Mrs. Erling said.
"There. are 15 to 18 intramural
activities each term," Mrs. Erling
said, "as well as the meetings be-
tween schools that involve the best
athletes in the intramural program
rather than a varsity team."
All instructors work in some
part of the intramural program,
Mrs. Erling said, but the direction
has been concentrated in the posi-
tion of Intramural Director since
the fall of 1966.
Bell is a native of Cleveland,
and received his Bachelor's and
Master's Degrees from the Uni-
versity of Florida.
He said he planned no major
changes in the PBJC program.
"We already have one of the
best intramural and extramural
programs in the state," he said.
"We intend to keep it one of the
best."

termine a winner in the primary,
but will be used for statistical
analysis.
Rockefeller received 170,914 sec-
ond place votes and 174,289 third
place votes for a total of 344,608.
Senator Eugene McCarthy re-
ceived the most second place
votes, 209,820 and a total of
338,233 combined second and third
place votes, second only to Rock-
efeller.
Senator Robert Kennedy ran
third behind Rockefeller and Mc-
Carthy in combined second and
third place votes with 295,268. For-
mer Vice President Nixon was
fourth, further back with 213,040.
By dividing the country into
ten geographical sectors, it was
determined that Senator McCar-
thy had beaten his opponents
decisively in six regional areas.
In New England, for example,
McCarthy polled 29,301 votes
against 16,573 for Senator Robert
Kennedy and 8,912 for Richard
Nixon.
In the Mid-Atlantic sector, com-
prised of Delaware, New Jersey,
New York, and Pennsylvania, Mc-
Carthy outdistanced his competi-
tion by winning 55^364 ballots,
26,242 more than his closest rival,
Senator Kennedy, who totaled
29,122 votes.
On Western campuses, McCar-
thy fared equally well. In the Far
West zone of California, Hawaii
and Nevada, the Minnesota Sena-
tor won 33,780 votes, as opposed
to Kennedy with 22,776, and Nixon
with 14,347. The Northwestern sec-
tor shows roughly the same pic-
ture, with McCarthy totaling
13,364 votes, Nixon 9,734, and Ken-
nedy 9,473.
Senator McCarthy won in addi-
tion the Central Plains Sector and
fared a strong second behind Nix-
on in the Southwest and Mountain
regions.
Senator Kennedy ran a consist-
ent second in seven out of the
ten sectors, and ran surprisingly
well in the Southeast and Southern
sectors.
The Southeast region (District
of Columbia, Kentucky, Maryland,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Virgin-
ia, West Virginia) showed Nixon
the leader with 29,969 ballots, but
with Kennedy not far behind with
2?,552.
In the Deep South, moreover,
Kennedy ran almost as power-
fully. The totals: Nixon, 23,106;
Kennedy, 17,384; McCarthy,
13.018; Wallace, 9,915.
In general, students voted in
favor of a phased reduction of
U.S. military activity in Vietnam,
temporary suspension of the
bombing, and education, as the
area that should receive the high-
est priority in government spend-
ing to meet the "urban crisis."
45% of the students polled fa-
vored reduction of U.S. military
efforts in Vietnam and 17% fa-
vored immediate withdrawal,
while 21% voted for an "all out
U.S. military effort."
29% voted for a suspension of
bombing, 28% for cessation, while
25% voted to intensify the bomb-
ing in North Vietnam. 11% fa-
vored the current level of bomb-
ing, and 4% favored the use of
nuclear weapons.
Education and job training were
favored for top-priority in federal
urban spending with 40% and 39%
respectively. Riot control was
third with 12%. Housing with 6%
and income subsidy with 3% were
fourth and fifth.
Over half of the supporters of
Senator McCarthy, voted for
either a phased reduction of U.S.
military activity in Vietnam or
immediate, withdrawal of U.S.
troops.
85% of McCarthy's supporters
preferred either a phased reduc-
tion in US. military activity in
Vietnam or immediate withdrawal
of U.S. forces from Vietnam.
This figure represents the most
support for those two courses of
action among all the candidates
56% of McCarthy's supporters pre-
ferred phased reduction while 29%
preferred immediate withdrawal
of U.S. forces. 51% of thooe voting
for McCarthy also favored a
permanent cessation of the bomb-
ing in North Vietnam.
69% of Kennedy's supporters
preferred either phased reduction
or immediate withdrawal of U.S.
military activity in Vietnam: 50%
voted for phased reduction and
19% for immediate withdrawal
30% of Kennedy's supporters
voted for permanent cessation of
the bombing, while 33% voted for
a temporary cessation of the
bombing.
Reagan and Nixon were the two
Republicans representing the most
support for increased and all out
military efforts in Vietnam. 65%
of Reagan's supporters add 52%
of Nixon's chose those two courses
of action.
56% of Wallace's supporters pre-
ferred all out U.S. military ef-
fort in Vietnam.
Reagan and Wallace represent-
ed the most support for use of
nuclear weapons on North Viet-
nam. 12% of Reagan's supporters
voted for this bombing policy,
while 54% chose intensified bomb-
ing.
Nixon represented the greatest
support for maintaining the cur-
rent level of bombing, with 15%
of his supporters voting for that
choice.
All candidates drew strong sup-
port for education and job op-
portunities as deserving highest
priority in dealing with the 'urban
crisis." Wallace, Reagan, and Nix-
on, however, were the only can-
didates also drawing significant
support for riot control and stric-
ter law enforcement "as the top
priority course of action. 48% of
Wallace's supporters, 32% of Rea-
gan's and 20% of Nixon's voted
for riot control and stricter law
enforcement.

Two hundred and twenty-four
sophomores turned out to select
twelve representatives to the Stu-
dent Government senate.
When contacted about the re-
sults of the election, an Elections
Board spokesman stated, "This
was the lightest turnout for a
sophomore election in PBJC's
history. Two years ago two hun-
dred and fifty-eight sophomores
turned out, but now it's getting
a little ridiculous."
The Senators elected with
their total vote, are as follows:
Larry Krasulak— 170, Suzanne
Doucette— 149, Dana Ferguson—
142, Elaine Benenson — 139,
Bruce Allen— 127, Audree Rich-
ardson— 124, Jack Meeds — 123,
Allen Hamlin— 118, Charlie Eld-
erd— 116, Lynn McGilvery— 109,
Karen Moore— 108, and Greg
Mausz— 105.
"As you can see from the to-
tals," the spokesman continued,
"not too many votes separated
the candidates' final tallies. And
only one vote decided the last
seat."
Unsuccessful candidates were,
in alphabetical order, Janet Part-
low and Larry Winter.
The amendments voted on by
the sophomores, combined with
the totals of the freshmen pref-
eience, will determine wheth-
er the three-fifths (3/5) majority
is reached to make an amend-
ment effective.
The totals compiled in the soph-
omore election regarding the
amendments are as follows: I,
122— Yes, 19— No; II, 120— Yes,
19-No; III, 111— Yes, 24-No;

The criteria used to measure the
effectiveness of a school prepara-

who graduated in three years.
His paper identified 61 insti-

ior colleges which strongly re-
lated both postively and nega-
tively to transfer effectiveness.
Atwell also presented a paper
and a speech to the Media In-

FAU-PBJC Conferences
Affirm Close Relationship
Conferences at Palm Beach
Junior College and Florida At-
lantic University last week "re-
affirmed and elaborated the close
cooperation between the two in-
stitutions" according to Dr. Ken-
neth R. Michels, Dean of FAU's
College of Science.
"We are particularly pleased
with our partnership in Ocean
Engineering and other areas of
science and technology," Dean
Michels said.
Reporting on student accom-
plishment, Charles R. Stephan,
chairman of FAU's Department
of Ocean Engineering, said 17
of the department's students in
the three years of its existence
have been former PBJC stu-
dents.
Stephan said that in Ocean
Engineering it would soon be a
four or five year degree on two
campuses. "We will be adding
Master's Degree soon," he said.
Dean. Graham, summing up the
two conferences, said that coop-
eration would be continued in
existing programs, and that sev-
eral "new and interesting ideas"
for future cooperation were ex-

Some students seem to think PBJC is a proving ground
for their aggressive sex activities
College is the place to learn and it is desirable for the
student to get a well-rounded education including the facts
about sex. There is more to this education than the basic
facts, the student should learn when, where, and under what
condition they should do their homework
The cafeteria, SAC lounge, hallways, and class rooms
are not the places and between or during class is not the
time to exhibit your sex desiies.
Even though only a few coarse individuals paiticipate
in these ill-staged scenes, they reflect poorly on the large
majority of students who come to school to get an education
and not to be embairassed by people who have neglected to
control their emotions.
Just One Vote
One man— only one vote.
"What difference does one vote make? What could be
more insignificant?"
Only one vote decided who would receive the final seat
in the sophomore senate.
Is YOUR one vote insignificant? Exercise youi right
to freedom of choice, vote next Thursday or Friday

and after much consideration, it
was decided that the candidates,
who had violated the rule, be dis-
qualified "
However, at the meeting
called to inform the candidates
of their plight, it was decided
by the candidates involved to
leave the decision up to the five
remaining candidates. Those
five, who at that time were
officially senators, unanimously
agreed to overlook the incident
and to continue with the elec-
tions.

Service-Social Club Union Seen

A tragic accident may bring
about a closer bond between
service and social clubs
A proposed dance sponsored by
the six social and four service
organizations on campus to raise
money for the Tommy - Jimmy
Fund may take place in the"near
future
The June 14 automobile acci-
dent on Congress Avenue was
just another unfortunate occur-
rence to most people. But for
the families of Tommy Bran-
nen and Jimmy Shore it was
the beginning of a nightmare.
When he was iy 2 years old,
Tommy Brarmen contracted polio
During the next 12V2 years he
had 18 major operations Yet he
remained a very active boy and
when he entered Cardinal New-
man High School, he became
interested in golf
On the morning of June 14
Tommy and his friend Jimmy
Shore along with two other boys
left for a local golf tournament
At the corner of Forest Hill
Road and Congress Avenue
their car was struck by a south-
bound car. Tommy was thrown
from the car and was discov-
ered unconscious. He is still
unconscious today.
Jimmy managed to remain in
the car but his right eye and
side were severely damaged
At the present time the boys
are coming along even better
than expected Jimmy has start
ed back into school at John I
Leonard but goes to the Reha-
bilitation Center three times a
week for treatment His insur-
ance company has taken care of
the bills up until now but soon
this will stop.
Tommy is still lying uncon-
scious on a hospital bed Since
the accident he has had six ma-
jor operations on his brain.
The bills now exceed $35,000
with his insurance only cover-
ing $10,000 of it. Each day
medication and hospitalization
cost $200, and for parents with
six other children the bills are
reaching staggering heights.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
We men have always recognized the existence of the
double standard as portrayed on Betty Wright's recording
"Girls Can't Do What the Guys Do (And Still Be a Lady)."
But that's just it. That's the way we liked it, the way we
allowed it to be. Now, girls right here at PBJC seem to be
reversing this up-until-now appreciated tradition. I'm not
known to have the best set of eyes m the cosmos, but my
pupils start playing fried egg sunny-side-up (extra large grade
A) whenever I happen to walk the hall this term.
Any combination of miniskirts, pantdresses, and some
things that give every indication of being nothing but baggy
Bermudas are in evidence on our sacred walkways, our staid
lawns, and in our humble classrooms.
No complaints, mind you. But all of these styles which
are supposedly deemed "spoitswear" rather than "school
attire," set in motion an outcry for equal privileges for male
students. Not that we expect to adopt THESE fashions, but
surely bermuda shorts (even the baggy kind, no less) can
be no worse on males than what has become known as the
Professor's Delight-<-the miniskirt in the third seat on the
left-hand side-OR-the case of the hiked hemlme!
If the Deans of Men and Women were only more aware
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, we men wouldn't protest so
much.
As it is, we feel only the pain of gross discrimination

The Gladders shut out the Left-

Butch and Wilkinson adding the

Golf
It's that time of year when football prognosticators
over the country begin to loosen up on their talents once a
Gollege and pro football get underway in Florida
weekend and our sports staff plans to make its own wee]
predictions; well be keeping a running record on the Mi(
Dolphins, the University of Florida, Florida State, and
University of Miami, as the season progresses.
The Miami Dolphins, of the American Football Lea|_
opened its season last Saturday night against the powerfj
Houston Oilers. And Houston was powerful as they thwart
the Dolphins 24-10. Miami has been plagued by injuries
season and will probably finish with a 6-8 record.
In college action, the University of Florida may have
most successful team of the three. We predict a 9-1 seastt
for the Gators. This weekend they host Tampa Air Forf
which should be a pushover for Florida.
A favorable season is also predicted for Florida Sta!
possibly finishing with an 8-2 record. This Saturday
invade Maryland which should be an easy victory.
Miami starts the season against mighty Northwesti
from the Big Ten Conference, which offers some pretty
competition. We'll look for a 7-3 record identical with
year's, for. this season.
Benefit Dance . . .
The establishment of the Elbert
jr. Bishop Fund, a scholarship
.fjjjid for deserving students at
pajm Beach Junior College, has
been announced by the PBJC
Women's Club.
Mr. Bishop, the first registrar
at PBJC and the first full-time
administrative official of any pub-
lic junior college in Florida, died
Saturday, September 14, in Rocky
Mount, N. C.
"A number of Mr. Bishop's
friends indicated that they would
like an opportunity to donate to
a living memorial for him," said
Mrs. Glen A. Marsteller, chair-
man of the club.
"We felt that a scholarship
fund in the college where he
spent so much of his life would
be a fitting memorial."
Mrs. Marsteller said the usual
scholarship efforts of the club
would be channeled into the El-
bert E. Bishop Fund in the fu-
ture, and that donations to the
fund would be accepted by the
college Finance Department.
"Checks should be made pay-
able to Palm Beach Junior Col-
lege, with a notation on the
face that it is to be credited
to the Elbert E. Bishop fund,"
she said.
The establishment of the fund
was welcomed by Dr. Harold C.
Manor, PBJC president.
"Mr. Bishop was an impor-
tant part of Palm Beach Jun-
ior College from 1937 to 1967,"
Dr. Manor said. "A scholar-
ship fund seems a most appro-
priate way to honor his mem-
ory."
Mr. Bishop spent ten years in
the service of the Palm Beach
County 'school system prior to be-
ginning his tenure as Registrar
at PBJC.
He moved to the county in 1927,
serving at Delray Beach, Canal
Point, Pahokee and South Bay
as athletic director and principal
before moving to the college then
located in buildings at Palm
Beach High School.
In June, 1967, he and his wife,
Ruth Friend Bishop, a 30-year
teacher in the county school sys-
tem, jointly announced their re-
tirement. Mrs. Bishop has ex-
pressed her approval of the schol-
arship fund set up by the PBJC
Women's Club.

Fund to help ease the financial
pressure of the families. Since
then such organizations as Ki-

various fund raising campaigns.
Sophomore Audree Richard-

ber of the Tommy-Jimmy Fund
and a newly-elected sophomore
senator is now approaching the
social and service organiza-
tions on campus in hopes that
they together will sponsor a
joint dance at which a one dol-
lar donation will be requested.
According to Miss Richardson,
"this money would be put into
the Tommy-Jimmy Fund but
benefits of such a project w
be far-reaching on our
campus community."

goal can be achieved.
One of the first proposed ac-
tivities set up to foster this
unity is a benefit dance with all
proceeds donated to the Tom-
my-Jimmy Fund.
Tentative plans schedule this
marathon-like dance sometime in
late October, lasting from approx-
irhately 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
It would be held on a school day
so that students would be able
to come to the dance in between
their classes.
A large container is to be set
in the middle of the floor into
which donations may be drop-
ped.
Also on tap for the next meet-
ing is the first discussion of the
Inter Club Council Constitution,
written by Rodney Smith. The
immediate preparation and sub-
mission of this Constitution is im-
perative, for until it is ratified
by the Student Senate, the ICC
is not a fully recognized and au-
thorized club on campus.
A Penny Goes For,
To PBJCs Orphan
To those of us in the United States, a penny does not
go very far nor mean very much. But a single penny can
mean a great deal to Maria Pignatiello, PBJCs little girl.
Many students are unaware tnat the PBJC student body
financially supports an orphan in Italy through the co-ordi-
nated efforts of the Vets Club and the Christian Children's
Fund, who sponsor the orphanage. The money needed comes
from pennies, nickels and dimes tossed into the Wishing Well
located by the main office. It
Gross, and Dennis Pearce.
"This leaves two seats vacant,"
reported a spokesmen for the
Elections Board. "These seats
will be filled by appointment of
the Executive Department and
ratified by the Senate."
The applicants will be inter-
viewed by the Chairman of the
Leadership and Service Board.
Upon his recommendations the
Executive Department chooses
from the potential senators, two
candidates, who then go be-
fore the Senate to be ratified.
Any freshman who wishes to
file for the vacant seats may do
so beginning Monday, Septem-,
ber 30. Applications may be
picked up in AD 05. Closing date
for filing is Friday, October 4,
at 12:00 noon.
"Active campaigning was
needed for this election,"

costs approximately $10.00 per
month to sponsor Maria.
Stanley Raff, President of the
Vets Club, stated that funds
are running low. "We need the
support of the entire student
body to make this project a
continued success."
The Wishing Well was built
with a twofold purpose in mind.
First, it is to provide for the or-
phan and, second, it is to beautify
the campus.
The Miss Wishing Well Con-
test is an annual event which
aids the Vets Club in their serv-
ice project. Contestants are
sponsored by a campus organi-
zation or are entered inde-
pendently. The girl who wins
the title of Miss Wishing Well
is chosen by a student vote.

Promises, Promises
Student pleas of discontent in regard to the present man-
agement of the cafeteria services have virtually gone unheard
by the Student Government Association.
' While promises of representing the best interests or the
student bodv were made in campaign oratory, it appears
that these vows have been either forgotten or perhaps just
lgn ° r in recent yeais the Beachcomber has responded to the
dies of the students by investigating the various allegations
and complaints concerning the Prophet Company s manage-
men \¥e do not see how any self-respecting SGA representa-

obvious grievances being voiced on the campus during the
past weeks.
Matter Of Concern
A democratic government requires an interested and
knowledgeable public. It takes concern not only for the issues,
hut concern for the representatives who decide upon these
i^siios. .
When 13 students, ten ot which weie qualified, out ot
, . Lis-, df 1,800 file tor Senatorial seats, we feel that this con-
iites d del mile lack of concern.
Democrat depends upon the individual. But how can
, unpus have a democratic form of government when the
uvidnal student huls in his own obligation to be a repre-
ntative oi even cast his vote lor the candidate of his choice?

spokesman stated. "Even the tra-
ditional campaign speeches were
not given."
"I hope you don't misunder-
stand, there will still be elec-
tions. Each candidate must re-
ceive one vote to confirm his
seat." The spokesman con-
tinued, "Besides, the six amend-
ments have to be voted on by
the freshmen."
Each amendment must pass a
three-fifths majority vote of the
totals of the sophomore and fresh-

Most Involved Triangle Of The '601 Speak Soply
by Jon Miller
Tnmtipr Stuff Writer
"People, people who need peo-
ple . . ."
And this is what director Rich-
ard Lester has purveyed in
"Petulia."
Although the film is an adapta-
tion of the novel, it is essentially
Lester's story throughout. What
with his sharp camera cuts and
precise editing made so familiar
in the Beatles' films and "How I
Won the War," Lester has now
transferred the process to a con-
ventional plot (i.e., plot as Holly-
wood leads one to imagine) and
made himself omnipresent.
All the while we may be fol-
lowing Julie Christie, George C.
Scott, or Richard Chamberlain
across the screen, too, we are
watching Lester intermittently
insert the actor"s Immediate
thoughts — an innovation seen
first in "The Pawnbroker" and
which has met with questioned
success since.
There is no question here. The
LITTLE MAN
cuts aren't responsible in devel-
oping the characters so much as
they affirm that we are being
given people. To relate or identi-
fy with? To realize their sym-
bolic play against one another?
Maybe.
But one can't escape the notion
that these actors were gathered
together to portray people, and
certainly their weaknesses.
Miss Christie is Petulia. Little
more need be said. When given
a suitable screenplay (and "Petu-
lia" is definitely above being
just suitable) she can exude all
that she did as the unscrupulous
witch in "Darling." If it be a
poor script or muddled attempt
as in "Fahrenheit 451" and "Dr.
Zhivago," Miss Christie leaves
one sitting in anticipation of her
next screen entrance.
Enter Petulia with husband
(Richard Chamberlain) shaking
it at a rock dance benefit to
promote highway safety. Flash
for an instant to a bleeding leg.
Back to the dance. Lester is

'Comber Concepts
Promises, Promises
Student pleas of discontent in regard to the present man-
agement of the cafeteria services have virtually gone unheard
bv the Student Government Association.
While promises of representing the best interests of the
student body were made in campaign oratory, it appears
that these vows have been either forgotten or perhaps just
ignored.
In recent years the Beachcomber has responded to the
cries of the students by investigating the various allegations
and complaints concerning the Prophet Company's manage-
ment.
We do not see how any self-respecting SGA representa-
tive can profess to serve the students and ignore the more
obvious grievances being voiced on the campus during the
past weeks.
Matter Of Concern
A democratic government requires an interested and
knowledgeable public. It takes concern not only for the issues,
but concern for the representatives who decide upon these

The Civitan time capsule is coming down. After months
of planning, discussion, and replanning, it has been decided
that a new, smaller capsule is to be constructed in a dif-
ferent location. (This is mainly due to the fact that the site
of the present capsule is to be occupied by a new building
in about five years,)
Campus Combings
It is heartening to know, that in this nation of student
activism and political -protest, there is one campus that re-
mains unmoved by candidates appeals for votes. This is that
campus.
Fourteen candidates, running for twelve senate seats,
attracted, out of a student body of five thousand, an anemic
vote of less than three hundred in the sophomore elections.
Firstly, only fourteen people showed enough rabid dedi-
cation to cause to file for nomination. Secondly, the votes of
the three hundred were, in many instances, representative
only of certain interests around campus.
Although it is true that out of three hundred, one hun-
dred does not constitute a majority, one group of less than
one hundred students effectively controlled enough votes to
swing the election in favor of at least seven of the candidates,
(To be specific, said group now has seven seats in the senate
which favor it, four neutrals, and one senator who was not
supported by the group.)
Any student who feels that the senate is making a wrong
decision at any time has no one to blame but a small group
of political activists on campus, and perhaps himself.
Is anyone still wondering why he had to pay for frolics
tickets this year? The Association COSTS. It was either pay
their price or get the Singing Nuns.

SGA President Rodney Smith stated in his
opening address to the Senate and .at last Sat-
urday's District IV meeting that FJCSGA and
jDistrict IV in its current form can serve "no
obvious good."
FJCSGA is the Florida Junior
College Student Government As-
sociation. It is a conglomeration
of all 32 junior college SGA's
throughout the state. It's purpose
is to form a stronger bond be-
Mausz tween the participating colleges.
District IV is one of the divisional break-
downs of FJCSGA. It consists of seven junior
colleges: Palm Beach, Florida - Keys, Miami
Dade South, Miami Dade North, Broward, Edi-
son, and Indian River.
District IV President Greg Mausz refuted
President Smith's remarks — "When he criti-
cized he should have given a solution, not just
a rash statement"
Mausz felt that "District IV and FJCSGA
should be. recognized for hard work. All students
involved should be given hard work."
Another issue brought up was lack of inter-
est in District IV. Mausz said that the students

Returnees Highlig

With three returnees and eight
prospective freshman players,'
Miss Bobbie Knowles, women's
tennis coach, has aspirations for
a winning season. ,
Last season's record was 3-7.
Miss Knowles stated, "In three
years of competition we've yet
to beat Broward J. C, our ma-
jor rival. Miami-Dade South is
going to be as tough as last
year and Miami-Dade North
should be stiff competition.
We play 12 matches and they
are all going to test our skills."
The returnees are Lisa deVil-
lers, Bonnie Miller, and Nancy
Hodgkinson. Bonnie was number
five last year and is a graduate
of Lake Worth High School. Lissa
deVilLers and Nancy Hodgkinson
were rivals for the number I'
position.
Miss Knowles added, "I k

involved are interested but that there "has
been no responsibility given to the individual
schools before."
Mausz's main solution to District IV's prob-
lem is the added responsibilities to the dele-
gates.
"We need responsibility. We
need definite stands on the unit-
ing of schools, particular issues
of the definite schools, and par-
ticularly state legislation. The in-
terest is there; it is just the re-
Smi th -sponsibility that lacks."
Smith feels that there is a poor system of
unity in District IV. Each school is a confedera-
tion unto itself. Smith wants to unify and dis-
cuss problems and issues pertinent to the
students.
Such issues are the present voting age,
absentee policy, and the dress code.
He also stated that he would like to have
every school policy evaluated, no matter how
sound it appears to be.
Smith warned that if something is not done
soon, he will advocate the withdrawal of PBJC
from FJCSGA and will try to get all campuses
to do the same.

by Craig Heyl
'Cumber Associate Editor
Ten food management com-
panies have proposed varied con-
tractural bids for the manage-

The ten companies included

Service, Prophet Foods of At-
lanta, Wometco Vending of South
Florida, S&S Food Adminis-
trators, Longarzo's Catering,
Saga Foods Company, Slater

The bids, opened at 2:45 Tues-

ceived in the Office of the Direc-
tor of Finance.
Several representatives of the
ten interested companies attend-
ed the opening.
Mr. Lee Hodgkins, Coordina-
tor of Purchasing, conducted
the opening of the bids. He ex-
plained to the group that this
was the official opening and the
official low bid would not be
announced until the bids had
been analyzed and decided up-

visory Board.

pany who receives the food serv-
ice contract will be announced.
Other bids opened at the meet-

Senators Voted In
Six Amendments Ratified
One hundred and thirty-nine
Freshmen turned out to vote on
proposed constitutional amend-
ments and give a vote of confi-
dence to the ten qualified candi-
dates.
Those candidates receiving the
required vote of confidence were:
Patricia Baker, Clif Burdette,
Paul Buxton, Edward DeBelle-
vue, Fran Denman, Vickl Gersch,
Bill Graham, Gail Greene, Bill
Gross, and Dennis Pearce.
The totals of the freshman
vote on the amendments were
added to the totals of the sopho-
more vote on the amendments
and the results were as fol-
lows: Amendment 1—82.692
percent affirmative, Amend-
ment II— 83.342 percent affirm-
ative, Amendment IH— 80.500
percent affirmative, Amend-
ment IV— 76.528 percent affirm-
ative, Amendment V— 85.271
percent affirmative, and
Amendment VI— 82.812 percent
affirmative.
A three-fifths (3/5) majority, or
sixty percent is what was needed
to ratify the amendments and
make them law. Since the sue
amendments were above the six-
tieth percentile, all are now law.

'Comber Concepts
Time For Changes
The future or the Flonda Junior College Student Gov-
ernment Association (FJCSGA) is at present hanging by a
loose thread.
FJCSGA in its present form is of no value to the indi-
vidual junior colleges which it is made of, nor is it progressing
in a manner that it will be beneficial to these respective
institutions in the years to come.
Topics of discussion at the previous district meetings have
centered mostly around. 1 A district scrapbook. 2. A district
project (it was suggested at the latest meeting that this project
be a two day romp in Key Largo in which the '"delegates could
better got acquainted with each other").
3. A district budget (which was debated, amended and
reamended for two hours and finally accepted in its original
form.
Programs that provide a service to the entire enrollment
of each Junior College and not just the delegates must be
instituted before FJCSGA can become a reality.
Quality Questioned
It is very discerning to know that two administrative
officials were very pleased that 300 full meals were served
in one day.
This is very poor considering the day enrollment is 3,421.
When a majority of the faculty and administration do
not patronize its own cafeteria and eat off campus, we feel
this proves the true quality of the food services.
When a majority of students risk losing their parking
place to eat a decent meal, we again feel this points out the
quality of the food service.
It is of our opinion that Prophet Foods has neglected
veral of its duties as the contractual agent for food services.
To list examples: (1) dirty plates have been left stacked
the tables, (2) the tables are at times neglected to be
ted clean, (3) the napkin dispensers have been empty,
(4) the silverware supply is depleted.
We feel that deep consideration in regard to the above
3ds should be given before a final decision is made to
iom receives the food services contract.

PBJC Stepping Stone To Success
As Grad Sees His Name In Ugh
by Lorraine Ljunggren

Success is spelled in many
ways; a leading role, a bit part,
a make-up man, or a set builder.
Any way you spell it, the PBJC
Drama Department does it right 1
Palm Beach Junior College has
served as a stepping stone to suc-
cess for many of her graduates.
Numbered among them is Bob
Lydiard.
Bob currently holds the lead
role of Charlie Brown in the
musical "You're a Good Man,
Charlie Brown" at the Theatre
80 St. Marks, off-Broadway,
New York City. The musical, a
running success in New York, is
based on the comic strip "Pea-
nuts."
Sunday, October 6, Bob will be
appearing on the stage of the Ed
Sullivan Show on the CBS tele-
vision network with the cast of
his present dramatic endeavor
"When Bob was a student here,
he showed a great deal of poten-
tial for the legitimate theatre. He
was well-versed in all phases of
theatre production from acting
to singing, from major roles to
minor parts," commented Frank
Leahy, Director of Forensics.
"I was impressed with his
versatility. He was able to meet
the many demands that life
with the theatre today requires.
He was also a very wonderful
person."
In the academic year 1963-1964
Bob was named "Best Actor"
for his role in "Dinny and the

sjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
The Beachcomber Sports Staff has developed a new idea
on predicting football games.
Instead of merely predicting Florida games, we are now
challenging all clubs at PBJC. Each week we shall take on
a different organization in predicting four college games and
four pro games
Five points are to be given for selecting the winning
team and five points will be given for coming closest in a
point span basis. In the following week's paper the winner
shall be announced along with the points made.
• * *
The games to be predicted this week are: Florida State
\s Texas A&M, Southern Cal. vs. U. of Miami, Florida vs.
Mississippi State, UCLA vs. Syracuse, Miami Dolphins vs
Houston Oilers, Oakland Raiders vs Boston Patriots, Balti-
more Colts vs. Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota

"Comeback" is one of the most exciting words in athletics
Everyone who loves sports has his own special comeback
memory. The situation can vary from an Arnold Palmer mak-
ing up three strokes on the final four holes to a Jimmy Ellis
getting off the canvas and flooring Floyd Patterson. The
reeling is mutual in any comeback, in sports and life.
It seems a comeback requires four principle ingredients:
i. Desire-To make anv comeback one needs to assess
his present situation and des lre to change it with all his heart.
l Plan-In order to come back one needs a plan, some-
thing he can see, as a vision, for the possibility of a change
3 Commitment-Often he may have a "plan. He must
commit himself to it, believing it will work

point man, scoring two touch-
downs and two extra points for
Alpha Phi. Shellhamer and Pos-
tlewaite also scored six points
apiece for the winners.

3-1 record, only one game out of
first place.
In other Gold League action,
Civitans swept by Circle K 44-0
Black alone racked up 24 points
for the victors with Angst, Mor-

6, 4, and 2 points respectively
Green League action saw the

the game as Newman bowed to
the Leftovers 26-22. Other scorers
for the Leftovers were Drown and
Slater with six points apiece, and
Mealy with eight. Ed Guzman
and Tom Ruhl both made six

and is extending services to all
organizations and individuals on
campus.
The "Photo Pool" was first es-

an increase in campus activity
has made it feasible to extend
photographic assistance to all
those desiring it.

Theatre Arts Workshop is the
name given to the third work-
shop at PBJC, which begins Tues-
day, October 15, from 4-6 p.m
in the Auditorium.
The workshop is sponsored by
the Communications Department,
and is under the direction of Mr.
Arthur Musto, speech and drama
instructor.
Musto did his undergraduate
work in dramatics at Carnegie
Tech. and Ms graduate work in
directing and acting at the Uni-
versity of Connecticut
Exploring the "arts" of the
theatre, in depth, through the
media of literature, criticism,
esthetics, design, and acting is
the main purpose of the class.
Another point will be to avoid
a usual formal class atmosphere.
Honor Society
Offers Tutors
Phi Theta Kappa, campus hon-
orary society, has announced
plans to extend a free tutoring
service to ' all students needing
help in the various courses of-
fered here.
A list of subjects and tutors is
posted on the first and third
floors of the library, the guidance
offices and. in the SAC Lounge
To receive help, a student is
requested to call a tutor of the
subject needing help in and ar-
range a meeting at the conven-
ience of both parties.
Allen Hamlin, chairman of the
program, stated "Phi Theta Kap-
pa members are volunteering
their time to help you help your-
self. It's free and all you have to
do is ask."
Shakespeare, Acting, Dance,
and Design will be the four areas
covered during the nine week
program. However, discussion is
not only limited to these areas.
Guests include: Watson B.
Duncan III, chairman of the
English Department, who will
present material on the Shake-
spearian side of the theatre.
Lois Meyer, dance instructor
at PBJC, is slated to explain
and discuss the importance of
dance in the theatre world.
Famed alumus-actor Burt Reyn-
olds may also be one of the
guests to appear and talk at the
workshop, along with other prom-
inent personalities and artists in
the theatre today.
There is no tuitional fee for the
program, The only charge will
be a $1.00 registration fee.
Anyone with a serious interest
in drama in .the community may
attend the workshop.
K Grad Relates Horror
Of Recent Czech Siege
by Craig Heyl
'Comber Associate IMitor
The night was tilled with gayety and laughter as the
Nemec family settled for their first night's stay in the land
of their heritage, Czechoslovakia.
A few hours later, awakened by the sound of tanks and
machine gun fire the Nemecs scrambled for protection un-
der mattresses, as bullets flew overhead. It was Wednesday,
August 21, the day the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia.
Graduate Mary Nemec related these and other ex-
periences in a special assembly last Tuesday.
The Nemec family had been touring Europe five weeks
before entering Czechoslovakia.
"There was evidence of Soviet influence in the other
Soviet Block countries. The Red Star was everywhere, on
buildings, newspapers, everything that was in the public
eye."
"The stores were run by Russians, and the prices were
very expensive." Miss N«mec continued, "They prefer
American money so they can demand gold for it. They

'Comber Concepts
Freedoms Not Realized
"The Russians are todav in Czechoslovakia, tomorrow in
Western Europe, and then the United Union (States) he-
cause it sleeps like a mole and trusts the Russians like we
once did."
The above quote was made by a Czech Student at the
height of the Russian Invasion of Czechoslovakia.
We as Americans live with a "Don't give a damn" atti-
tude. We have the freedoms yet we do not exercise them.
We have the right to vote, yet we find this is too much bother
for us to care.
The Czechs fought tor what little freedom they had, yet
we don't care enough for our fellow man.
The Russians have stated that they will someday defeat
as without firing a shot, that we will destroy ourselves.
The American dream of a truly democratic society is
presently nothing more than hypocrisy.
Wometco Hailed
The Wometco Company vending machines, in the short
time in which they have been installed on campus, have
illustrated to be a vast improvement over the previous con-
tractor, the Prophet Company.
We feel that Wometco's interest in keeping the machines
clean, properly serviced and regularly filled, along with their
placing of a list of offices on campus in which refunds would
be made in case of malfunctions, has demonstrated a true
desire to serve the students fully.
Vending machines provide a great aid to all students
and it is important that the best service be available.
If this progress continues both the student body and
Wometco stand to prosper, as a satisfied consumer is the key
to profit.

Campus Cops Targets Of Readei
THE OPPORTUNITY TO WITNESS not just good tal-
jkt, but that which is truly inspired is rare today. PBJC,
^wever, can claim among its student body a beauty as well
a gifted vocalist.
Sandra Thomas, PBJC sophomore, signs folk music, and
ig it well she does. Appearing regularly at the Catalyst, a
fcffeehouse opposite Florida Atlantic University, Sandra is
e of the small coterie of folk enthusiasts who habit the
talyst on Saturday evenings to perform to an informal
ntinuously incoming-outgoing) group.
Although all the performers are above average, Miss
Thomas is easily the most polished. She seems to be sat-
isfying her own need to sing, and yet her voice and style
pervades the minds of the listeners. In one word, she
entertains.
Should the chance present itself, spend a relaxing (albeit
ileasureable) evening some future Saturday night.
And PBJC Student Government Association, why not a
iimilar informal open house on a regular basis here? Well?

"The Black Market for American money in Czechoslo-
vakia is the highest in the world."
On the morning of the invasion sounds of Russian bomb-
ers prevailed. The Czechs knew that this was no military
maneuver, that it was in fact, a blatant attempt to remove
the Dubcek-Svoboda Administration from power.
They realized that the small amount of freedom that
they had acquired from the recent Czech Government
was about to be liquidated.
"Terror and panic reigned in the streets. Children ran
after their parents,"
The professors in the universities asked the students
to fight. They urged the students to boycott the new gov-
ernment.
Miss Nemec carried a tape recorder with her in Prague.
She recorded conversations she had with various Czech stu-
dents.
In conclusion Miss Nemec stated, "I have a different
feeling toward death. I value life more because I saw what
it means for people, students like yourself, to give their
lives for freedom.

Alpha Phi Ends Perfect Season

Flag Football
Alpha Phi and the College Inn
ended the Flag Football season
on an undefeated note, winning
their final games of the season
32-18 and 44-0 respectively.
Alpha Phi, Gold League cham-
pions, was led by the scoring and
passing of Chuck Heninger who
alone tallied eighteen points with
Postlewaite, Mahoney and Cum-
mings obtaining the remaining
fourteen between themselves.

Eleven Freshmen applied for
the two remaining Senate seats,
which were vacant because of an
inadequate number of candidates
filing in the general elections.
The two seats are to be filled
by the Student Leadership &
Service Board, subject to the ap-
proval of the President of SGA
and the Student Senate.
The Senate hopefuls meet with
the board on Monday to arrange
interviews enabling the board to
know the candidates on a more
personal basis, thus making a de-
cision that benefits the entire
student body.
Bruce Allen, Chairman, of
the L & S Board, stated that
he was very pleased that such
a large number of freshmen
had applied, however, he was
confused as to why they had
not decided to run.
The eleven candidates applying
are: Grace C. Carpenter, Chris-
tine Cotter, Dennis B. DeFreitas,
Stephanie Gillespie, Peter T.
Kaighin, Michael Langton, Rosa-
lind McManus, Miriam Rappo-
port, Christopher M. Sherman,
Margot Taylor, and Jana Wright.

Pre-Paid Registration To Provide

by Sam Pepper
'Cmuhpr Editor-in-Chief
Long lines, endless hours of
waiting and interrupted "between
term vacations" are now in the
past as pre-paid registration takes
effect winter term.
According to Registrar Laur-
ence Mayfield, "under the new
system students may pay regis-
tration fees during the last two
weeks of the fall term, and do
not have to report back until
the first day of classes, January
8."
After the student is counseled
for the winter term, a com-
puterized schedule is made
available for bis inspection be-
ginning on December 9.
Upon inspection he is then con-
fronted by three alternatives.
He may decide that it would

Dr. David E. Smith, 'Medical
Director of the Haight-Ashbury

opens the 1968-69 Assembly Series
Monday, October 22 with a lec-
ture entitled "The LSD Person-
ality."
. Dr. Smith, controller of thera-
peutic policy at the non-profit
clinic, is also Director of the Al-
cohol and Drug Abuse Screening
Clinic at San Francisco General
Hospital.
His professional knowledge of
drugs and sickness has quali-
fied him to serve as state con-

He is currently teaching the
Drug Abuse course at the Univer-
sity of California Medical Center
in conjunction with a position he
holds in the pharmacology de-

Smith is the editor of the

is made available to him in
December remains the same
whether or not he takes advan-
tage of the pre-payment program.
Secondly, he may reject the en-
tire schedule and return during
the first week of Januray to re-
schedule manually.
The third alternative is that
if he accepts the schedule in its
entirety and prefers to pay his
fees in advance, he returns to
the Registrar's office where he
receives his registration packet.
He is then /eligible to pay his
fees in the finance office at his
own convenience, between De-
cember 9 and 20.
Mayfield added that if a "stu-
dent begins pre-registration and
fails to complete the procedures,
including payment of fees he must
return all materials (packet) to
the Registrar's office by Decem-
ber 20 or his schedule will be
cancelled."

A Two Way Street
The eleven o'clock activity period on Tuesdays and Thurs-
days was specifically implemented for the benefit of the stu-
dents, i j i j
We feel there should be additional activities scheduled
during this period for the enrichment of the PBJC student.
However, this fs not a one way street. The student should
take advantage of the opportunities offered to him.
There should not have to be incentives to encourage the
student to take interest in the product or service offered.
Case in point: 'The People, Yes" by Carl Sandburg, pre-
sented by the Reader's Theatre, offered free coffee as an in-
centive to the students
Should it take a free product or service to entice people
to come for their own benefit?
We feel that the program presented by the Reader's Thea-
tre was beneficial and enlightening to the student.
Now we suggest other activities, such as last years' col-
loquiums presented by the Social Science Department. Stu-
dent discussion groups concerning current topics, and resource
speakers from the surrounding communities discussing topics
that would aid in the enrichment of the students.
Another Step Forward
PBJC has taken another major step forward in up-dating
iti already modern registration program.
Registrar Laurence Maytleld announced Tuesday that
students registering for the winter term may pay their fees
in advance at the close of the fall term.
Pre-payment provides the students with longer unin-
terupted vacations and distributes the administration's work
load involved with filing the fee receipts.
PBJC is recognized nationwide as a leader in registration
procedures. Pre-payment can only enhance this reputation.

Voice Of The Students
Prexy's Motives Questioned
EDITOR:
In August, the SGA Cabinet
passed a motion which grew out
of an idea promoted by Presi-
dent Smith. The motion states
that SGA funds would not toe used
to support student groups attend-
ing conventions.
At this same meeting, before
the passage of the motion in ques-
tion, it was pointed out by the
advisor that if they should~adopt
such a policy it must be applied
to themselves.
What happened as a result of
this adopted policy' Circle K did
not receive financial assistance
for their convention m August,
but Rodney Smith attended SGA
convention last! week with full
expenses paid!
Was the SGA Senate duped into
reversing a Cabinet decision at
the convenience of Mr. Smith or
did the Senate truly believe that
the "no convention support" was
a poor decision?
It was obvious to all observers
that Mr. Smith wanted to attend
the SGA convention. Why did he
not discuss this matter with the
Cabinet.
Hopefully, for the sake of the
student body, the bungled hand-
ling of this convention — who
going, who is not, where is (J
money— is not an example of ti
future leadership qualities to 1 *

eant, At left is Elaine Fulkerson, Model of the Year 1967,
and at right the current title holder, Sybil Sheppard.
fered contracts for other model-
ing opportunities for other win-
ners.
"The Ultra-Brite contract is
equal in monetary value to the
second prize in the Stewart
modeling pageant," stated Miss
Tomlinson. "A contract for $25,-
000 is awarded to the first place
winner, $15,000 for second, and
$10,000 for third place."
Miss Tomlinson explained that
a modeling contract with an
agency puts the girl on a list for
a "go see" when a position is
to be filled. This does not neces-
sarily mean she is chosen.
Miss Tomlinson went on to say,
"We feel that it can be a more
valuable contract for Ann than
the others since she will 'be doing
television modeling— both live and
on tape — and that's where the
glamour— as well as the money
— is."
Miss Pickett, or Stuart as she
is known professionally, is not
new to modeling. She has been
associated with the Kline
agency locally both as a model
and as an assistant to Mrs.
Kline in teaching.
How do the parents feel about
their daughter's sudden success?"
Being that Ann is their only child
they greet the situation with
mixed emotions.
Certainly Mr. and Mrs, Pickett
are extemely proud, but as Mrs.
Pickett puts it, "It's going to be
awfully lonely at our house for a
while."

PBJC Students Win Respect
At State FJCSGA Convention
Last week's FJCSGA conven-
tion in general was termed a suc-
cess by SGA President Rodney
Smith.
He stated that the "delegates
were genuinely concerned with
the feelings of ^he students back
home."
Topics discussed included stu-
dent rights, absenteeism policies,
and statewide junior college foot-
ball.
The PBJC delegation consist-
ing of Dana Ferguson, Paul
Buxton, Rodney Smith, Pat Bak-
er and Elaine Beneson, accord-
ing to Smith led many of the
discussions and proposed much
of the legislation on these topics.
Smith said, "We established
ourselves as level-headed leaders.
The PBJC delegation took the
stand against state wide football.
They felt that there would not
be enough of a following in the
sport. Tuition would have to be
hiked in order to provide the
money for facilities.
PBJC came up with some revo-
lutionary ideas which, although
defeated, have provoked con-
siderable thought within other
schools.
One of the ideas is that of
rotation of FJCSGA officers.
Each year one of the four dis-
tricts would head FJCSGA.
The advantage of this is that
the officers would be able to keep
in contact at all times.

7>youfs End Uncerf oinf y (Challenging The 'Combei
For Cheerleader Aspirants I
by Jacquie Boiling
Comber Staff Writer
For nine cheerleader "hope-
fuls" the waiting period while the
judges tallied the results seemed
an eternity.
Fleeting comments which band
ied around the suspense filled
room ranged from "Boy, did I
goof up that cheer!" to "I wish
that they would hurry up."
Finally, Larry Krasulak, Chair-
man of the Spirit and Traditions
Board, under whose auspices the
cheerleader selection is made, en-
tered the North SAC chamber
CHEERLEADERS-Pacer cheerleaders for the 1968-1969
season are (from left to right); Debbie Strout, Sheri West,
Kris Tedder, Gloria Delung, Betty Scherini, Jackie Weaver,
and Chris Kiesling.
Formal Induction Ends
Phi Theta Kappa Pledging
A hush settled over the stu-
dents, as the first candle was
lit to formally begin the solemn
initiation of the new members of
Phi Theta Kappa.
Tuesday, October 15, the larg-
est group of pledges in the his-
tory of the honor fraternity at
PBJC were accepted to serve
to the best of their ability, the
long-held traditions and ideals
of PTK.
President Lynn McGilvrey told
of the history of PTK and in-
formed members of their respon-
sibilities.
The symbols of the golden key
were explained and each mem-
ber was called forward to sign
the Phi Theta Kappa Member-
ship Roll.
Mr. Hendrix then spoke to the
group as to what he felt they,
the members, should accom-
plish in the months to come.
The organization is looking for-
ward to a year of service to the
campus, students, and commu-
nity. Fellowship is the key word
and the door to success is easily
opened with it.
and cut through the excitement
with the long-awaited announce-
ment.
"The 1988-69 Pacer cheerlead-
ers are Gloria Delung, Chris
Kiesling, Betty Schereni, Debbie
Strout, Kris Tedder, Jackie
Weaver and Sheri West."
This disclosure culminated end-
less hours of tiring practices for
two of the aspirants. For the re-
maining seven cheerleaders, the
work has just begun.
Tryouts ended the anxiety of
"not knowing." At this time the
nine girls were numbered and
placed in groups of three. Each
group entered South SAC where
a panel of eight judges presided.
First, each group did three
cheers. After the three groups
had finished performing the
cheers, the judging went on to
jumps.
Although still in groups, each
girl singularly executed the three
most frequently used jumps of
the former cheering squads.
From then on, all attention
should have focused on the
judges. However, some of them
were finding this a most difficult
task so they requested another
view of the candidates.
Even after the repeat perform-
ance, indecision still plagued
the minds of the judges. An
example of the judges' indeci-
sion is mirrored in Coach Roy
Bell's comment, "They all de-
serve to be chosen."
Yet, somehow a decision was
reached and the new cheerlead-
ers were selected. Following this
the girls themselves voted and
elected Kris Tedder and Jackie
Weaver co-captains of the squad.
Kris Tedder summed up the
general feeling of the girls in the
following manner:
"At first I was stunned and
then I felt all happy inside. After
that, my one thought was to try
to make the squad united instead
of being individualistic.
This weeks games are: University of Florida -
North Carolina, Memphis State - Florida State,
Virginia Tech - University of Miami, Alabama -
Tennessee, Miami Dolphins - Cincinnati Bengals,
Oakland Raiders - Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cow-
boys - Minnesota Vikings, and Green Bay Packers -
Detroit Lions.

PREPARATIONS BEGIN - Speech instructor, Arthur
Musto offers advice to stage crew as work begins on the set
of "Philadelphia Here I Come."
by Nick Bougis
'Comber Staff Writer
With twenty days to go the
Drama Department of PBJC
along with a 14 member cast,
four directors, and a very or-
ganized technical group, is grad-
ually bringing part of the village
of Ballybeg, Ireland, to the PB-
JC Auditorium.
This is being done by way of
the first play production this
year, "Philadelphia, Here I
Come!" which will run Nov. 14-
17.
Brian Friel's play is what we
might term a "'now" play be-
cause of the way it deals with
the very present theme: the
generation gap, in a most vivid
and cognizant fashion.
YOICE OF THE PALM BEACH JUNIOR COLLEGE STU&ENT
VOL. XXX - No. 8
Lake Worth, Florida
Friday, October 25, 1968
The play is salted with poign-
ant characters, peppered with
comedy, oiled and vinegered with
a lot of, "Why didn't I speak
now's," and tossed together with
various frustrations to create a
Chef's salad that you won't
want to munch on; but one in
which you'll want to hunt for
that splendid radish at the bot-
tom of the bowl that adds that
special color for the eye.
The thirteen mortals, who grace
the stage are a combination of
people in all conditions of life:
Those who understand, those who
don't understand or have forgot-
ten to understand, and those who
should have understood.
Greg Bean plays the lead in
"Philadelphia . . ." as Gar
O'Donnell. Gar has a frequent
tendency, you might say, to
step-out of himself in the form
of John Schneider, who also
plays the lead as Gar's alter-
ego.
The "old generation" is played
by: Ken Thompson— S. B. O'Don-
nell; Martin Tishner — Master
Boyle; John Bragg — Senator
Doogan; Nichols Bougis — Canon
Mick O'Byrne.
Wise, old, and shrewd house-
keeper, Madge, is played by Mar-
lene Hayes.
FAU Strives For Closer Relationship
As Deans Meet With Adminstration
by Jim Fuller
'Comber News Editor
Florida Atlantic University and
PBJC are striving for a closer
relationship between the two in-
stitutions, according to Dr. Char-
les Atwell, Assistant Dean of In-
struction.
Staff members and administra-
tors from the two institutions
met last Thursday to iron out
problems and to have a chance
to get to know their respective
counterparts.
The departments represented
by each campus are as follows:
Vice President of Academic Af-
fairs, Assistant Dean of Academic
Affairs, Dean of Student Affairs,
Deans of the Social Science De-
partment, the Science Depart-
ment, College of Education, Busi-
ness Administration, Chairman of
the English Departments, and a
representative of the Department
of Oceanic Engineering.
Dr. Atwell stated, "A liaison
has to be established from the
top down."
Considering the meeting highly
organized, he went on to say that
it proved FAU's interest in our
campus.
At 9:30 the visiting representa-
tives of FAU were greeted by Dr.
Manor and oriented to the lay-out
of our campus. Following this, a
tour was conducted of the fa-
cilities of the college, and then a
lunch was served.
From one until three o'clock
the corresponding representa-
tives of their departments or
positions in administrative pro-
cedure broke into their indivdu-
al fields. This gave these indi-
viduals a chance to get to
know, on a personal basis, the
people they had been dealing
with through correspondence or
over the phone.
The meeting may be the first
of an annual affair between the
two campuses.
FAU is highly dependent upon
the junior colleges in the area for
incoming students.
A goal FAU is striving for is
to get the college sophomore
into the upper division school
with as little problem as pos-
sible, with an aim to establish
a "four-year college program on
two campuses."
Plans are being made for PB-
JC Day" late in November at
FAU. The purpose of this would
be to acquaint the students with
FAU in a social atmosphere.
Representing Irish-America:
John Stankiewicz — Con; Alice
Summers — Lizzy. Their American
friend, Ben Burton, is played by
Russ Bennett.
Ruffian tigers and the lady:
Tim Frisbie— Ned; Bob Evans—
Joe;. Steve Searl— Tom, and Lau-
ra Lee Athey who plays the lady,
Katherine Doogan.
Student directors for the play
are: Janis Spadacene, Nicholas
Bougis, and Lindy Zellner.
The production is under the ex-
ecutive direction of Mr. Frank
Leahy.

The
Downs
Of
«
'UP'
I
by Suzanne Lash
'Combei' News Editor
Launching Tuesday's Assem-
bly lecture from the objective
that drugs are a medical and
social problem, not a legal
one, 'Dr. David E. Smith, Med-
ical Director of the Haight-
Ashbury Medical Clinic, ex-
plored the psychedelic sub-
culture of our society.
Placing the major part of
the blame for the hippie revolt
on the society and parents of
the rebelling teens, Smith
cited today's casual attitude
towards drugs and legislation
which is interpreted by teens
as the protection of the adults'
alcohol and 'cigarette abuse,
the most dangerous drug hab-
its, as primary causes.
Teens reacting against this
society seek the truth about
drugs through experimenta-
tion. Those drugs most com-
monly sought are LSD and
Speed.
Speed Methedrine is the dan-
gerous drug. In it's first effect,
a period of extreme violence
proceeds a prolonged depres-
sion that brings the user back
to the drug for release. It's
compulsive use leads to se-
vere medical and psychiatric
disturbances.
Contrasting LSD with Speed,
Smith stated that "it's effect
depends on the personality
structure of the individual."
LSD produces selective
stimulation, generally in that
area of the brain control-
ling environmental response.
"Each mind views life dif-
ferently. Commonality of in-
terpretation is due to the in-
fluence of the culture."
The danger in LSD lies in
the failure of the user to re-
spond to warning signals, in-
DR. SMITH
Clarifying Statement
ducing individuals to jump
from heights or walk into
traffic.
Two additional points were
clarified in the question-an-
swer period following the lec-
ture. In reply to a probe of
LSD and birth defects, Smith
said, "There is a possibility
that LSD causes chromosomal
breakdown, but this increases
leukemia, not necessarily birth
defects. The case is as yet un-
proven." Nevertheless, he did
not advocate anyone planning
a family to risk the use of
LSD.
A question on marijuana
opened an area which Dr.
Smith had deliberately avoid-
ed.
"Marijuana is used as a
smokescreen to avoid view-
ing the basic drug problem.
In Haigist-Ashbury, mari-
juana is a peripheral prob-
lem."
Attacking alcohol as a more
dangerous drug than mari-
juana, Smith indicted the
present laws governing mari-
juana as "absurd and ridic-
ulous." He felt that we must
equate the two into their prop-
per perspectives by increas-
ing the laws covering alcohol
and decreasing those on mari-
juana, to eliminate the abuses
of both.

Comber Concepts
Better Relationship
We applaud the new effort to form a better relationship
between FAU and PBJC. A relationship of this nature is bene-
ficial to the student of PBJC or any other junior college of
this area.
The logical place for the PBJC graduate to go is to Flor-
ida Atlantic University, for the cut-off score for admittance
to the University of Florida is spiraling upward year after
year.
This relationship should have been cultivated years ago.
The University of South Florida and the University of
West Florida have done more on our campus to welcome the
graduate than our "sister" institution.
FAU has not only done a poor job of enticing the gradu-
ate of a junior college, but has done a poor job of keeping
their own student body interested in their campus.
A prime example of this is evident in that 1,300 pros-
pective students for FAU, who had requested admission, did
not show up for registration.
We feel that FAU should look ahead to the future and
involve themselves in a "selling" program to the junior col-
leges in the area.
Eases Draft Worries
Solution: Draft Women
by Bob Romani
'Comber Staff Writer
Every day, all across the na-
tion, thousands of young men are
biting off their fingernails and
pulling out their hair as a result
of constant worry over the draft.
The problem is a difficult one
but the solution quite simple.
LET'S DRAFT WOMEN!!
The advantages should be quite
clear to every 1-A male regis-
trant.
1. The psychological -aspect of
warfare would be completely
revolutionized. The enemy
i would become entirely demor-
alized if they were confronted
with such famous units as the
36-24-36th airborne brigade or
possibly the 104th exposed calf-
ery division.
2. Our military budget could
also be trimmed. With Twiggy
designing the uniforms, we could
save millions in that area alone.
3. Communications would im-
prove beyond expectations. A

message would originate at the
gossip corps headquarters and
within hours span the globe with-
out the use of radio or any other
electronic devices.
4. The food problem would be
virtually eliminated. Every red
blooded American girl is on a
diet and a ration of salad and
crackers would be more than
adequate.
5. Press coverage would be-
come much more accurate. Male
correspondents would be most
eager to cover any troop move-
ment. (Any volunteers??)
In short we have at our dispos-
al a weapon more powerful than
any presently m our arsenal That
weapon is the American female.

Vofce Of The Students
Mumbling Maddens Music Lover:
Editor:
During the latter part of the
concert by the Miami-Dade South
Stage Band, there was much
mumbling and talking by mem-
bers of our student body.
It irritates me to know that
some students of this institution
haven't enough dignity to respect
our guests.
Not only did the students show
disrespect to our guests but also
to the students of this campus.
I hope that on the occasion of
another visit by members of an-
other institution that our stu-
dents will show that they respect
and uphold the dignity of Palm
Beach Junior College.

Editor:
On Monday, October 21 the Mi-
ami-Dade South Stage Band gave
ON CAMPUS
an exceptionally good jazz con-
cert.
Aside from the very poor turn-
out to this concert by PBJC stu-
dents, most of those who came
sat in various sections of the
North SAC Lounge oblivious to
the fact that anything was going
on.
They talked among themselves
loudly and were generally bois-
terous.
SAM PEPPER
If those people didn't wis! \
hear the concert, they should \
least have had the decency
leave the lounge and not caustk
disturbance, ruining the pi
for those who came to listed
If we ever expect to have
ter programs, we should
ourselves in a manner befil
adults.
Bruce Thorn
Sophomore
FOLLOWING THE IMMEDIATE shock of darkness at
1 the Frolics dance, we were seated -in a circle somewhat in
.{he center of the PBJC gym floor. Joining hands cautiously,
l we felt the mood was such to support our whim for conduct-
ing a seance.
With only a few utterances coming forth from that per-
son most resembling a medium, distant flashing and waving
'Tights moved sporadically about the ceiling exposing geo-
metric girders. Occasionally the masses stranded on the
makeshift dance floor were illumined.
Assured that spirits (of whatever nature they might be)
were making themselves visible in light form, I tittered from
the lotus position while attempting to discern the authenticity
of the spirits' presence. (I never knew campus cops carried
flashlights.)
Just because Lulu singt,
"The Best of Both Worlds" doesn't
mean she's a content schizophrenic.
SPINNING: Big Brother and the Holding Company may
.have to hold on. Lead singer Janis Joplin says she's through
with them and is gathering her own musicians. . . Sounds
incredulous, but the "2001: A Space Odyssey" soundtrack is
terrific for quiet listening and/or meditation. . . Look for FM
radio stations programming Progressive Rock to take over
the listening ratings— uncut songs, few commercials, and DJ's
who know what they're playing. . . Offhand, The Left Banke,
McCoys, and Moby Grape are infinitely better on their
albums than on their singles. . .

What Are They like Off-Stage?
Talking With "The Association'
by Lorraine Ljunggren
'Comber Feature Editor
The lights went up, the ap-
plause began and it seemed as
though it would never cease, as
"The Association" began their
concert, opening PBJC's 1968 Win-
ter Frolics Friday evening, Oc-
tober 18.
The entire West Palm Beach
Auditorium was filled with the
echo of clapping hands each time
the group finished one of their
many famous songs— "Never My
Love, Windy, Six-Man Band, or
Cherish" (which almost brought
the house down')-
Who are they, these talent-
ed young men who sing superb-
ly as few are able? What are
they like off-stage, away from
the lights and the noise? What
do they think about the future,
about their organization, and
about their success?
These are questions answered
by the men of "The Association"
themselves— away from the lights
and the noise.
Who are they? They are: Ted
Bluechell, Jr., drums; Brian
Cole, bass; Russ Giguere, vocal;
Terry Kirkman, vocal, recorder,
horn, guitar; Larry Ramos, lead
guitar, vocal; Jim Yester, rhythm
guitar, vocal. The Six-Man Band-
today!
Off-stage they are easy-going
young men with high ideals and
a plan. A plan for success, which
obviously works.
Their plan? Working hard for
those things they attain and
which they think they deserve.
For the future? "Anything
goes," says Jim. "Who knows?"
asks Russ. Films? "We're open
to suggestions and interested."
It is difficult to determine what
age group makes up their largest
following, perhaps early - college
students. Whichever group it is,
it is large 1
The Association rarely uses
special effects in recording. "We
like the effect of being on stage,'
states Jim.
Out of all their songs on four
albums, they have no favorites.
"It. becomes too difficult when
working with music everyday
of one's life to choose a favor-
ite."
Last year the group spent 250
days on the road touring the
country. They were in Europe
two and one half months ago.
Russ laughs and says the British
tease them about being "a chorus
of hell's angels (not on motor-
cycles)."
Common interests? Yes, they
have some. "We all enjoy food
and drink (H20), and other
things young men like." (No, they
are not all eligible young bach-
elors! ! )
When asked how many of the
group are married, Jim re-

Music Soothes
Sifip Beasts
The old adage that "music hath charm" is being applied
by Coach Jim Tanner during his basketball practices.
Music is taken from an album titled "Greatest Hits" fea-
turing such singers as Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, and
Dee Dee Sharp.
Objectives of musical practices are to sharpen rhythm
in general and to relax the players. They are not, however,
used specifically for anything but drills such as layups, split
post, the fast break, and also for calisthenics.
According to Coach Tanner, "music makes the practices,
and improves the players cadence and counting." The music
used for example on lay-ups is "Sweet Georgia Brown," the
theme from the Harlem Globetrotters.
Melodious practices have been used previously. "We
started about two years ago, working with it occasionally,"
Tanner said. "Last year we began using it regularly."
When the music starts, a marked difference comes over
the players, they seem to pick up the pace.
Tanner also mentioned that the players like the musical
drills and added, "a, 'highly skilled basketball player is the
most graceful basketball player."
Due to limitations in space. "Challenging the
'Comber" was omitted from this issue. The column
will return next week as Phi Da Di takes on the
'Comber staff.
Extramurals are on the increase in the Florida Junior

College Inn Dorm Closes;
Students Left Out In The Cold
('Comber Staff Photo by Ernest DeBakey)
DORMS TO CLOSE - The College Inn has announced
\thit as of December the dorms will be closed. Financial prob-
lems were attributed to the closing.
by Sam Pepper
'Comber Editor-in-Chief
Notice of the College Inn's
closing has last week forced PB-
JC to initiate an emergency hous-
ing program to aid a number of
students left without rooms.
According to Dean of Women
Elizabeth Davey, rtie reason for
closing was due to problems with
finances, in that the Inn was un-
able to pay several outstanding
bills.
Owners of the establishment
could not be contacted for com-
ment
In the October 28 Faculty Bul-
letin, Dean Davey requested that
any instructors or staff members
who have a spare room to con-
tact her no later than today.
The 70 students living at the
College Inn may be left with-
out a place to stay next week.
Tuesday afternoon the elec-
tricity and water were turned
off for three and a half hours
because of the non-payment of
a $2,126 electricity bill.
Wednesday morning it was
reported that the College Inn
management was in the process
of filing for bankruptcy. If
the College Inn contnues in the
manner presently being em-
ployed, the students will lose

Applying for the office vacated

Classifying himself as a "Pro-

that Florida, for the first time

Once again this year a top name
pop group is being presented to
PBJC students in a weekend long
entertainment series beginning
Friday evening, November 8, and
ending Monday night, November
11.
The festivities open with the an-
nual Sadie Hawkins Dance being
presented by the Civinettes in the
SAC Lounge from 8-12 Friday
night
The band to be featured is by
the "Eighth Day." It Is the
dance where "the gals can ask
the guys," and during which the
winner of the Miss Galleon Con-
test will be announced.
Excitement continues Saturday
afternoon with a Bar-B-Q to be
sponsored by the Civitan Club
from 4:30 - 7:30.
Between 7:30 and 9 p.m. the
Faculty - Varsity basketball game
takes place.
Action continues with a dance
following the game from nine to
midnight. All of Saturday's activi-
ties take place on the campus.
On Sunday, November 10 at 8
p.m., the action shifts to the
West Palm Beach- Auditorium
with a concert featuring "The
Four Tops" and their '69 Mo-
town Review, with King Curtis
and the King Pins and the Spin-
ners.
Tickets are now available in
AD-05 from 10:00 3:00 on the
same arrangement as they were
for the concert featuring "The
Association."
PBJC students, through the
SGA Spirit and Traditions Board,
pay $2.00 less per ticket for the
seat of the student's choice.
This means that a $4.50 seat
costs the student $2.00, a $4.00
seat costs $1.50, and the $3.50
seat may be obtained for $1.00.

Senate Reform Needed
A serious and highly formal assembly is fast being in-
vaded by tones of informality and levity.
The SGA Senate, because of a few senators who wish to
comment sarcastically on the proceedings, is gradually los-
ing its effect and solemnity.
These remarks are irrelevant and in bad taste.
Similar situations have occurred in the past, and they
eventually resulted in complete disregard of the senate
president.
Senators have been given a trust by the student body.
They should honor this responsibility by conducting them-
selves in a mature manner.
In Good Taste
Campus Foods has shown a genuine interest in serving
the students and faculty.
Since the new food service corporation was awarded the
cafeteria contract they have initiated a number of sorely need-
ed improvements.
Among these are: Tables cleaned periodically, menus for
faculty members, the offering of specials and the publishing
of these specials in the daily bulletin.
Campus Foods' experience in catering to a commuter
college has demonstrated its ability to cope with the prob-
lems that prevailed at this institution.
We believe that in turn the PBJC Community will reward
the company for their "we care policy."

Voice Of The Students
From Commendation To Criticism
Editor:
We must congratulate PBJC for
allowing an exceptional man like
Dr. Smith to speak on our cam-
pus.
Undoubtedly a good portion of
both faculty and administration
had the hell shocked out of their
conservatism as well as their
antiquated and irrational estab-
lishment views of drug abuse.
Had the administration and fac-
ulty been fully aware of Dr.
Smith's "liberal view" he would
not have been invited to speak.
As it was, PBJC students and
faculty members were given a
chance to hear the drug dilema
examined rationally and put in
the correct perspective.
It is certainly a shame that 20th
Century thought has wormed its
way through PBJC's infamous
barriers of radical conservatism

L. Sipprell
Editor:
Rumor has it that the Beautifi-
cations Board is trying to secure
a recreation room on campus.
This room would contain pool ta-
bles, ping-pong tables, card ta-
bles, and various other equip
ment proper in a college at-
mosphere rec-room.
As interested students, we hope
that this' rumor becomes fact. We
believe it would be a definite as-
set to the "campus and to the
students. Although the SAC
Lounge offers television, chess
and tables and couches, it does
net, in our opinion, fulfill what
a Student Activity Center should.
We hope other students will
voice their opinions, hopefully in
favor of this "rumored" project.
The Beautifications Board cannot
do it alone If the students are
interested, let them speak out.

ment of the State of Florida.
Hicks believes there is a possi-
bility for a "coat tail" effect in
the election this Tuesday. A "coat
tail" effect is created when a
major candidate, for example
President, is so overwhelmingly
popular that he carries in with
him the other candidates in his
party.
The candidate urged all stu-
dents at PBJC, who are eligible
to vote, to do so.

Social Science Deportment
Compliments Chicago's Mayor
by Sam Pepper
'Cumber Editor-in-Chipf
The Social Science Department
in a recent meeting voted unani-
mously to accept and send a reso-
lution to Richard J. Daley, Mayor
of Chicago, commending he and
his police force on the job they
performed during the Democratic
National Convention
The resolution stated that the
Social Science Department
wanted to express their appre-
ciation of the fine job that Daley
did in defense of "the social and
political institutions" of Chicago
against the "planned vicious at-
tacks by violent anarchists."
They also pointed out that the
police did not resort to force until
they were physically assaulted
They also resolved that "While
the right to dissent is inherent in
our democratic system, the ap-
proved form of dissent is not one
of violence nor one of planned as-
saults upon the forces of law and
order who defend the democratic
system."
The Department concluded by
saying, "The actions of Mayor
Daley and his law enforcement
agencies in preventing fruition
of the major goal of the law-
less elements, without the loss
of life, are worthy of commen-
dation."
In reply to the resolution, Mayor
Daley stated, "Thanks" and
signed his name (see post card).
Grade Point Average Remains
Major Concern Of Students
by Robert Romani
Comber Staff Writer
One of the mam areas of con-
cern to most college students is
their grade point average (GPA)
It is probably the most important
set of numbers students receive
throughout their college careers.
The GPA represents academic
achievement and it is here that
prospective employers start their
search for future employees. Com-
petition has become so keen for
job placement that the GPA has
become a major device for limit-
ing the field
While most agree that the GPA
is Important, there is a vast
amount of controversy over the
degree of emphasis that should
be placed on the GPA. Many feel
that its boundaries should be re-
defined. A recent study conduct-
ed at Columbia University shows
no direct relationship between
the college GPA and professional
success.
This study was very significant
in proving a point but failed in
offering any consolation to the
student. The fact remains that
the GPA is still the most impor-
tant part of a college transcript.
In order to keep astride with the
competition, the student must re-
sign to this fact until such time
as the national educational sys-
tem matures enough to relieve the
pressure

Many athletes at Palm Beach Junior College strive for
the highest honor they can achieve. Like Walter Powers in
Tennis, Bob McTammany in Golf, Earl Findley in Basket-
ball, or Jimmy Cariseo in Baseball! All these athletes can
strive for something already in their grasp; Success.
The word "success" occupies a central place in the hier-
archy of American values. This is especially true in the ath-
letic world.
We go out to win-for ourselves and team. A coach, seeks
to build character but he is judged, most always, on his win-
loss record. The team seeks the top of the standings; the
players shoot for all-district and All-Ameriean ratings.
In sports we are all conscious of the importance of the
strong finish, the final quarter, the last inning, the 18th hole,
the last few yards of a race. But the start in any sport is as
important.
We all want something, to win, to know success.

"Thirty per-cent of your rac-

nothing to lose in a race like
this, you just go all out. Psycho-
logically we could have come

we could have finished last."

First Scrimmage
With the knowledge of his
team's first scrimmage behind
them, Coach Tanner is still look-
ing for the fifteen men that will
travel for the Pacer Basketball
squad,
Tanner states, "We have 3
returnees this season. Earl Find-
ley, who lead District IV in
rebounds last year, Warcecer
Jakes, and Ward Freer, all of
whom have experience."
"The scrimmage was against a
young men's team from the YM-
CA. Although we lost 77-71, that
doesn't tell the story," explained
Tanner.
"We played, what I consider the
tcp five, until they easily doubled
the score. Then I replaced team
after team with the remaining six-
teen hopefuls never using the
original five again."
"I feel we will have a team 'ball
club who will work well to-
gether," added Tanner. "We still
have a lot to do before the sea-
son starts."

Adding the final touches to the
set and to character development,
the actors and set crew of PBJC's
Drama Department are readying
for Thursday night's opening per-
formance of Brian Friel's "Phila-
delphia, Here I Come!" in the
PBJC Auditorium.
"Philadelphia," is unique in
many different ways. For exam-
ple, the lead role of Gar O'Donnell
is played by both Greg Bean and
John Schneider.

Welcome Extended To PBJC
by Lorraine Ljunggren
'Comber Staff Writer
Florida Atlantic University and
PBJC are in the process of de-
veloping a closer relationship
which will be more beneficial to
students anticipating transfer to
the Boca Raton institution.
Opportunities are many, valu-
able and near at hand.
FAU Day, November 21, of-
fers the PBJC student the
chance to examine the program
of studies and the campus of
Florida Atlantic University. A
free Bar-B-Q culminates an af-
ternoon of tours at the Boca
Raton campus.
Also slated is a concert by the
combined PBJC-FAU bands at
4:30 p.m.
Afternoon classes end at 2:20
p.m. to afford PBJC students time
to arrive on the FAU campus for
the activities.
Students and faculty are to
meet in the Patio of the Resident
Hall. A map will be provided in
the office of Dean Paul Glynn,
Coordinator of FAU Day and Di-
rector of Student Personnel. His
office is located at the west end
of the old administration wing by
the main office.
The tours originate in the
patio area and wind up at the
Bar-B-Q In the recreational
area.
Students may sign up in Dean
Glynn's office from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. Wednesday, November 12,
through Friday at noon, Novem-
ber 15. Admit slips will be issued
for students to present to the fac-
ulty at FAU upon their arrival
for the program. This entitles
the student to the free Bar-B-Q
ticket.
"We hope to have maximum
participation in this program. If
it is a success, we plan to pre-
sent it on an annual basis," stated
Dean Paul Glynn, Coordinator of
FAU Day for PBJC.
"The student of the future will
look upon a degree program in.
two phases, a split four year pro-
gram. As the invited guests of
Florida Atlantic University, I
hope students respond wholeheart-
edly."
Jamboree Weekend Begins
With Sadie Hawkins Dance
From "The Grass Roots" to
Marryin' Sam is the outlook for
this weekend's top flight enter-
tainment being offered to PBJC
students.
Tonight the chase is on! Look
out all you handsome, young,
unattached males! If a girl nabs
you at the Civinettes' Sadie Haw-
kins Dance, you may reach the
altar with the "Eighth Day"
playing your wedding march. No
guy is safe from a gal on campus
from 8-12 p.m.
Do not think that the fun
ceases Friday night. A Bar-B-Q
is being sponsored by the Civi-
tans Saturday, November 9, at
4:30 p.m., after which the Fac-
ulty will take on the Pacers in
"the" basketball game of the sea-
son. Game time is 7:30 p.m. in
the gym.
When the last basket has been
scored, the campus will still be
alive with throngs of people. The
Civitans are having a dance un-
til midnight following the Faculty-
Varsity game.
Actions shifts to "The Four
Tops" and their '69 Motown Re-
view, with King Curtis and the
King Pins and the Spinners, in
concert at the West Palm Beach
Auditorium Sunday night, Novem-
ber 10, at 8 p.m.
Tickets for the "Four Tops"
show are available to PBJC stu-
dents at a reduced rate in AD-05
from 10-3 daily. The lower prices
are made possible through the
efforts of the SGA Spirit and Tra-
ditions Board.
"The Grass Roots" and the
"Monopoly" bring to a climax
the four-day festivities in a blan-
ket concert in the PBJC gymna-
sium Monday evening, 8-11 p.m.
This nationally famous pop re-
cording group is being presented
to students free with an ID check
at the door.
The November 11 blanket con-
cert will culminate the excellent
roster of activities being present-
ed this weekend. From Dogpatch
to Lake Worth — Variety is the
watchword for entertainment be-
ing offered to PBJC this year.
Greg, who starred in last years
production of "David and Lisa",
is to be seen as Gar's public life,
the one everyone sees, while John,
another veteran of the PBJC
stage, can be viewed as Gar's
private life, his conscience, or
alter ego.
Other members of the cast in-
clude: Madge, the wise old house-
keeper, played by Marlene Hayes;
S. B. O'Donnell, Gar's father, by
Ken Thompsan; Katherine Doog-
an, played by Laura Lee Athey;
Senator Doogan, Katherine's fa-
ther, John Bragg; Lizzy, played
by Alice Summers; Con, Lizzy's
husband, by John Stankiewicz;
Ben Burton, Lizzy and Con's
American friend, by Russ Ben-
nett.
Martin Tishner plays Master
Boyle, the school master; Tim
Frisfay, as Ned; Steve Searl as
Tom; Bob Evans as Joe; and
Nick Bougis as Canon; Mick 0'-
Byrne, a priest.
Student Directors for the play
are Janice Spadacene, Lindy
Zeilner, and Nick Bougis.
Under the direction of Mr.
Frank Leahy, the actors are pol-
ishing their final characteriza-
tions. "The more I've studied my
part, the more it has frightened
me. I can see some of the char-
acteristics of S. B. (S. B. O'Don-
nell, the protagionist's father) in
myself," commented Ken Thomp-
son.
The technical effects, under the
direction of Mr. Arthur Musto,
are one to be marveled.
The set is .unique in that it
was designed and built entirely
by the students. A tremendous
amount of research was done
as to what a typical Irish home
Is to look like, even down to
the grain in the plaster.
The lighting posed a problem,
for the angles of the set cast un-
usually darker shadows than ever
before experienced on the PBJC
stage.
The theme of the play reflects
what is happening today. It con-
cerns the hardships the genera-
tions have endured between each
other. It pictures the differences
between the old and new genera-
dons — the generation gap.
The setting is in the small Irish
village of Ballybeg, the time is
now.
"Philadelphia," has come to
be known as a comedy-drama,
with a fantastic collection of
wit, humor and realization.
When asked about his feelings
toward the production, Nick Boug-
is, one of the three student di-
rectors stated, "'Philadelphia,'
will probably be one of the most
convincing productions of the
year."

Publications On Move
The results of a recent survey, conducted by the Research
Committee of the National Council of College Publications
Advisers, revealed some interesting facts concerning the status
of the college press now, compared with five years ago.
Questionnaires were sent out to 253 colleges and univer-
sities which have NCCPA members on their faculties. Seventy-
five per cent of the newspaper questionnaires and 68 per cent
of the yearbook questionnaires were returned; a response rare-
ly achieved in questionnaire studies.
The overall pattern is one of greater freedom, higher
budgets, more advising time, better staffs, and greater ac-
ceptance by both students and faculty at NCCPA-member
schools. All schools did not report all of these gains, but 96
per cent of the newspaper advisers and 94 per cent of the
yearbook advisers reported gains in at least one of these areas.
Eighty-seven per cent of newspaper advisers reported
that their budgets are greater than they were five years ago.
Newspaper advisers also feel that campus newspapers
are better accepted by students than five years ago, and that
staffs are better qualified than before.
College publications is a growing field of responsible
service to students and schools. Support them; they are the
life-blood of America's universities and colleges.

Beach Junior College."
Investigating the error, the
Beachcomber contacted Floyd
O. Becherer, member of the So-
cial Science Department, who
reportedly voted against the
resolution.
When asked why he had voted
against the resolution, Becherer
had this to offer, "As with the
majority of the department, I
have no sympathy with the pro-
fessional agitators. But a number
of young people involved were
not members of this group of pro-
fessional agitators or 'anarchists.'
Some were simply peaceful pro
testors or innccent by-standers."
The history instructor continued
by relating that it appeared some
did attack the police with weap-
ons. But the police also attacked
innocent 'by-standers just watch-
ing, not doing a thing.
"I'm not sure what the
'preponderance of evidence'
proves." Continuing, he quar-
^ried, "Does this preponderance
of evidence reveal what the res-
olution stated it revealed?"
m./That being that the political
invention was the target of
anti-American forces dedicated
to the destruction of our form
of government)
As I interpret it," Becher-
er stated, "The resolution does
not sufficiently differentiate be-
tween the 'violent anarchists' and
the much larger number of peo-
ple present who were neither
violent nor anarchists."
In conclusion, Becherer said he
would not want to condemn either
side, but would be inclined to
censure both.

I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to call attention to a par-
ticular annoyance that is happen-
ing practically everywhere on
campus, most of all in the cafe-
teria.
This problem is quite trivial,
but very annoying to me and
several others to whom I speak.
It has to do with people. gather-
ing to converse, gossip, giggle,
etc., in the middle of main walk-
ways, aisles and especially in the
middle of the stairways.
It has now been weeks since
school began, and I excused all
this because of the clubs and
their pledges, but now I am tired
of saying, "Excuse me, may I
pass?"
In reply I constantly receive
rude remarks, as if I should
crawl over cafeteria tables or
leap over the stair banister rails.
I would not mind, nor do I deny
them the right to mingle with
their friends, if they would take
the space out of the direct flow
of traffic.
I have encountered six or seven
people in the mid aisle of the
cafeteria when entire tables and
their aisles were void of people.
This affects me as selfish and
extremely immature.
I write this in hopes people
will become considerate of others
in this respect.

Editor:
Today I attended the greatest
thing that has taken place on
PBJC's campus. The Afro-Amer-
ican ODUM symbolized to me a
Renaissance of not only better
relationships between black and
white but between all of man-
kind. The room was electric with
love and enthusiasm.
Man is very undeveloped in
many ways, but he is capable of
manifesting all the fantastic and
beautiful things which are within
his ■soul. Emerson said, "Man is
a god in ruins." I see no reason
for man to be in ruins, he has
the materials and the energy to
build if -he wants, a campus, a
city, a state, a nation, a world,
a universe that is filled with per-
fect order and love.
When I am walking down the
sidewalk and someone says hello
to me, whether purple, pink, or
indigo, I want that person to be
saying hello because he feels it,
not just a memorized form of
politeness. This way of feeling,
of living, of thinking cannot be
taught to someone, it must come
through higher understanding of
life itself. To force yourself to
be friendly, to do good deeds, is
a fallacy in itself. The feeling
must be there for it to be divine
I only pray that there were:. 1
ers that felt the way I did r'
that meeting, and still fee; '.i;
way, and will continue to *
that way forever. It is not n :
it is extremely hard to overcr
past fears and apprehensions ?
it must be done, and it cai5
done through sincere love j
time has arrived for us to i|
off our masks. Halloween is:-'
We need truth and honest;. :,
most of all love. Every peiv*;
this campus, whether he «■-;
it or not, is capable of be: - ;)
part of a Renaissance. If hi

What's 'isname

Anyone reviewing films pub-
lically or personally, analyzes
from the moment of the first

,of the soundtrack.
It's not uncommon for such a
person to habit sudden urges
to pick up on a film— any film
that will satiate said desire.
Let me say here and now
that having viewed "I'll Never
Forget What's 'isname" under
such circumstances, that this
film may well be the sleeper
of the year (be it that critics
are allowed one sleeper 'favor-
ite' each year).
What's so good about "What's-
'isname" is that it is the most
pretentious unpretentious film of
1968 and this is surely' not com-
pletely contrary to the juxtapo-

THE EVENTS OF SPORTS DAY
Palm Beach Junior College staged its own
"Olympic Games" when it played host to the
annual Fall Sports Day.
Five colleges participated in the Division
IV competition which saw Miami-Dade North
finish first with 69 points, only two points more
than second place Miami-Dade South. The
Pacers finished fourth with 53 points.
A total of 228 participants from the five
schools indulged in nine tournaments. PBJC
had the largest turnout with 52 contestants.
The only event PBJC won was the Men's
Volleyball Tournament. The Pacers defeated
Miami-Dade South, 15-3, 15-5 in the second
round, and romped over Miami-Dade North
15-9, 10-15, and 15-11 in the finals.

The Pacer Golf Team finished
sixth out of the eight teams that
participated last weekend in a
golf tournament held at the Palm
Beach National Country Club.
Miami-Dade North, led by the
United States Amateur Cham-
pion, Bruce Fleisher, won the
tournament, scoring 10 shots
better than the second place
team, Edison Junior College.
For the second tournament in
a row, Robbie Wilson of Edison
has been the low scorer. His
victory was sweetened by beating
Fleisher. Wilson's two day total
of 146 was only one stroke better
than Fleisher's.
The PBJC team was headed
by Pete Balon who had a total
of 159 for the 36 hole tourna-
ment. The other scores were
Bobby McTammany (161), Steve
Pearson (163), Jim Harmon
(173), Bob Mandell (174), and
John Atwood (178).
When Pacer Coach Ray Daugh-
erty was asked about his team's
play he said, "Lack of consis-

ual scores as good as any other
school's, but we haven't been

Countless books and photo-

gain insight of a typical Irish

The set is the home of the S. B.
O'Donnell family cf Ballybeg, Ire-

place in the confines of the
"house."
Several Irish priests and sis-
ters from the Midlands of Ire-
land were interviewed by mem-
bers of the technical crew, in
hopes of receiving more infor-
mation on the interior of a typi-
cal Irish home.
After the initial research was

A week was then allowed for the
drafting of the basic set and the
construction of a scale model.

Palm Beach Junior College Pac-
ers open their basketball season
tonight against Florida Junior
College.
FJC is in their second season
of play and already are one game
into their 1968-69 season, losing
to Drake College.
With combinations of good
speed and control they battled
to a .500 season last year, and
this year have most of their
players returning.
"It'll be a tough game," com-
mented head coach Jim Tanner,
"the first game is always
tough, but we'll be ready."
Starring for the Pacers is: Cen-
ter, Warcecer Jakes, forwards,
Earl Findley and Jimmy Jack-
son, guards, Ward Freer and
Charlie 'Dukes.
The man to t«at is Findley, at
6' 7", 175 pounds. Last year he
was selected to the All-District
IV team as he compiled an 18.0
point per game average and 15.0
rebounds per game, eighth in the
state.
Warcecer Jakes holds down the
center spot. Last season the 6' 2",
210 pounder finished in the top 20
in rebounds with a 15.0 average.
Ward Freer is the third let-
terman to start Last season he
saw limited action carrying a
5.0 point average.
Jimmy Jackson, 6' 3", 170
pounds, from Boca Raton, is the
first starting freshman.

heavily in the judging of the
play," stated Mr. Arthur Musto.
"I'd say the setting counts prob-
ably as much as the acting, but
the judges have the final say in
that matter."
"This is the first time in almost
three years a 'box' type set has
teen used," quoted Connie Mid-
dleton, one of the chief artists
cf the set design. "It looks like
a real home, as if somebody real-
ly lived here."
The last time a box type set
was used at PBJC was in "The
Barrets of Wimpole Street," a
play presented by the Drama De-
partment.
"Many nights we were out
here until midnight and even
two o'clock in the morning put-
ling finishing touches to a par-
ticular set," stated Bobble
Chuilli, another of the artists.
Miss Chuilli continued, "It took
us five days to develop a tech-
nique on how to apply the paint
so it looks like plaster."
If "Philadelphia" goes to Wash-
ington, the full set has to be taken
down, shipped to Washington, and
then reset.
The Festival has put certain
restrictions on the shipment of
the sets. One— they must be
shipped in three distinctive
sized boxes, and two — they must
be shipped by air. Both these
restrictions figured in the de-
signing of the set.
Miss Middleton continued,
"When we were building and
painting the set, we tried pro-
jecting ourselves in S. B.'s
place." (S. B. is the lead char-
acter's father, and according to
the script, built the house him-
self.)

Food For Thought?
Perhaps the way to a student's mind is through his stom-
ach. At least this may be the idea behind the free barbeque
being offered at Florida Atlantic University, Thursday, No-
vember 21.
The idea appears to be working, as indicated by the
response of the students in picking up their admittance slips.
A significant question to be pondered is whether the
barbeque or the desire to learn is the major motivating factor
involved in the number of responses made by the PBJC stu-
dents.
If the major reason for making the trip is the desire to
obtain information about Florida Atlantic and the courses
offered then the trip should be rewarding, otherwise, it may
only be filling.

What is this school coming to?
Not only is it physically impos-

much trust the school officials
have in the students.

Grassroots Interview Prove:
'No People Like Show People
by Jacquie Boiling
'Comber Staff Writer
Every prospective actor who
makes it to New York City has
talent. Over five thousand of them
wander around each day, and
these five thousand were the
best in their respective colleges
and high schools.
However, one former PBJC
graduate, Bob Lydiard, must be
a little more than the best. This
versatile young man attributes
his success in capturing the lead
ance in "Dinny and the Witches,"
Bob was selected the 'Best Actor'
of 1963-1964. His theatre work
also included participation in pro-
ductions with Musicarnival of
West Palm Beach and Cleveland,
Ohio, with the Royal Poinciana
Playhouse, Palm Beach, and with
the Coconut Grove Theatre, Mi-
ami. He has also done work in
television.
Last year Bob entered Wayne
State Unversity to work on his

by Richard Meitin
'Comber Staff Writer
Perhaps the word most de-
scriptive of the "Grassroots" off-
stage is insane.
Before their concert Monday
night, the tend that recorded
'Midnight Confessions' relieved
the tension of touring by carrying
«ach other piggy -back up the
bleachers of the PBJC gym. Then
they played a makeshift game of
basketball on the basketball court.
Afterwards, the "Grassroots"
attitude concerning an inter-
view was what could only be
recounted as too cooperative.
Rick, their happy and energetic
(he demolished four drumsticks)
drummer, still dripping wet from
the performance, seized this writ-
er's neatly prepared questions and
proceeded to conduct the inter-
view himself.
"Hey, what's' this? It looks like
a history exaim. Okay — (mock
serious tone) 'Who are the groups
that most influence you?' "
Grassroots — "The PTA and
the SPCA. Also the 4-H Club
and the Future Farmers."
Rick— "What's the worst thing
about playing in a successful
group?"
Grassroots— "Oh, probably try-
ing to stay modest."
Any hope of trying to extract
a serious statement was wish-
ful thinking by this time. Luck-
ily, Rob, their bass player and
lead vocalist, whose voice is
heard on 'Live for Today,'
'Things I Should Have Said,'
and 'Where Were You When I
Needed You,' had shared a few
more sober moments with me
before the show.
'Comber— "Do you prefer any
particular type of audience?"
Rob— "Colleges are the best
by far. The teeny-'boppers never
listen. They just sit and scream."
'Comber— Who writes your hat
records, for instance, 'Midnight
Confessions?"
Rob— "None of our hits have
been written by the group. Most
of our writing appears on the
albums. 'Midnight Confessions'
was done by a group about six
months ago. We liked the song,
rearranged it, and released it.
'Comber— "Do you prefer
studio work or touring?"
Rob— "Studio work is much
better. On stage we only have
four instruments to work with,
and almost no control over the
sound. Stage work is erratic-
some nights everything will just
_ click. Other nights everybody
can be concentrating like mad
and it will still sound lousy.
Trouble is, we don't even know
when it goes well. It can sound
great where we are, but our man-
ager can come up and say al;
wards that the bass was so
that you could hardly hear d
thing else."
The Grassroots conclude
Florida tour at the Universit)
Miami this week. In Decei
they appear at the Miami
Festival.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
role in the off Broadway musical
production of "You're a Good
Man, Charlie Brown" to several
factors.
"I got the part simply be-
cause I am Charlie Brown. I
live the role off-stage as well
as on-stage. It was simply a
matter of luck and chance that
I tried out."
Old Lady Luck may have had
a hand in his success, but one
cannot overlook his tremendous
talent and personality. While talk-
ing with him during a recent stay
in New York City with the Beach-
comber, this writer was continual-
ly amazed* with his dedication to
his work.
A great deal of Bob's success
reverts back to PBJC, his old
alma mater.
He graduated from PBJC in
1965 and from FAU in 1967.
During his years here he ap-
peared in the productions of
"Dinny and the Witches," "Look
Homeward Angel," "J. B.,"
"Carnival," and "Androcles
and the Lion."
For his outstanding perform-
Theatre. During December he re-
turned home to his "old stomp-
ing grounds" to attend the Phi
Rho Pi Christmas Reception.
Being a past officer of Phi Rho
Pi, Bob anxiously awaited seeing
his old friends again. Never did
he guess that it would be at this
reception that he would learn
about the Charlie Brown open-
ing.
He went to New.-Yotk to try
out and then returned to school
at Wayne State. However, in
August, he was called back to
New York to step into the role
of Charlie Brown with the New
York cast after the original
C. B. transferred to the Los
Angeles production.
This is where he is right now.
The Charlie Brown cast is small
(only six people). The theater
(Theater 80 St. Marks) is small-
it seats only 199. According to
Bob the reasoning behind this is
simple.
"The small intimate theater
draws the audience into feeling
part of the play."
{^Jrlainald bu oLouide
Custom Formals
Designed for you
By Appointment
683-6492
And this is very true. The in-
timacy and size of the theater is
overshadowed by the magnitude
and versatility of the cast.
The age span of the audience
is anywhere from five to sev-
enty. But, once the play begins,
every person in the audience is
transported back to his child-
hood. One is a five year old
once again. Puzzlement, longing
and happiness combine to give
the true picture of the typical
day in the life of Charlie Brown.
"During rehearsals and when
we are off-stage waiting for our
cues, we continually leaf through
different books and papers con-
taining Charlie Brown cartoons.
That way we get a true insight
into the characterizations and can
react to the different situations
just like Charlie, or Lucy, or
Patty would."
And they do. One of the most
remarkable feats that the cast
displays is the happy, bouncy
walk of the normal five year old.
The part of Charlie Brown re-
quires Bob to stare blandly out
into space much of the time.
Charlie is simply a punching bag
for Lucy, Linus, Schroeder,
Snoopy and Patty to bang on.
Bob, as Charlie, plays the straight
role.
"The hardest part of the role
for me is to not use my face
expressively. I was always a
ham and I am used to mug-
ging."
For those here who knew Bob,
you know this is so. In talking
with him, Bob constantly ex-
pressed himself with dynamic
facial expressions and frequent
hand gestures. He was continual-
ly transposing himself from one
mood to another.
His attire also portrayed his
desire to remain in 'Charlie
Brown character.' Dressed in
dark slacks, a fall pullover sweat-
er, and a dark green jacket, he
seemed out of place in the wild-
ly dressed New York crowd.
When this writer asked him
about this he replied, "I must
keep the Charlie Brown image.
That's why I don't have long
hair, or wear anything but con-
servative clothes."
Most interesting was that the
cast only sees the director once
every three or four months. At
all other times the stage mana-
ger directs the cast

PBJC's CHARLIE BROWN - 'Comber reporter Jacquie
Boiling, poses with graduate Rob Lydiard, star of the Off-
Broadway play, "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown."
"This helps bring us out and
makes us work harder."
It is necessary to prod a bit
in order to get Bob to talk about
himself. However, if one can get
under the barrage of good com-
ments he makes about "You're
a Good Man Charlie Brown," he
finds that Bob Lydiard is an ex-
tremely talented young man.
Besides acting, Bob can play
the guitar and the concertina.
And one cannot overlook his
pure and pleasant singing
voice.
Bob is very happy in New
York, In fact he wants to re-
main there for he feels that the
New York audience will promote
him. When asked whether he
would stay in acting he replied,
"If they want me."
And apparently they do for he
has tentative offers for TV com-
mercials, a TV series, a movie
and a soap opera.
This success has not swelled
Bob's head at all. He is still very
much interested in promoting
the theatre arts to everyone.
On his days off, he does lec-
ture tours at his own expense
in high schools. On these tours,
he talks to speech and drama
students telling about the thea-
tre and New York.
Bob hasn't forgotten the West
Palm Beach area or PBJC. The
last thing he said was, "Remem-
ber to go down to the beach and
throw some sand into the wind
for me."

•Comber Staff Writer
If "a smile joins souls in mar-
riage" as authoress Sandy Thom-
as proclaims, then this sparkling
and stunning brunette who was
awarded the Miss Galleon 1969
title must have a heart full of
happiness for she is always smil-
ing.
This dynamic beauty is inter-
ested in everyone and everything,
and her interests range from writ-
ing and singing her own songs, to
showing horses or to just loving
mankind. And she carries out all
she begins, with enthusiasm and
polish.
Sandy won the Miss Galleon
title on the basis of her beauty,
poise and talent. For her tal-
ent presentation, she sang one
of several folk songs she has
composed.
Sandy is not new to the per-
forming arts. She began singing
folk music about three years ago
and since then has sung at folk
festivals and in coffeehouses all
over Florida as well as in Ohio
and Kentucky. "Through my sing-
ing, I try to help mankind to
manifest his infinite possibilities."
The vibrant brunette is an ac-
tive member in the newly formed
Southeast Florida Folk Guild
which is trying to bring folk
music into the area and help the
"populus" to understand it.
An accomplished musician,
Sandy plays both the six and
twelve string guitar as well as
the sitar and the auto harp.
She has cut several demon-
stration records and this sum-
mer she appeared on Kentucky
television in a variety show.
But this is only one of Sandy's
many interests. Vying for her at-
tention is also her horse "Ex-
tra Dividend" on who Sandy rode
to fame as the first equestrian
rider in the nation to qualify for
the 1967 Madison Square Garden
Horse Show.
Riding since she was eight,
Sandy, on her carrot loving ani-
mal, has also received such titles
as Senior Saddle Seat Equestrian
Champion of the Dade-Broward-
Palm Beach County summer cir-
cuit.
Two American Horse Show As-
sociation medals in Saddle Seat
Equestrian can also fee added to
her never-ending list of honors.
Even though she has now stop-
ped showing "Extra Dividend,"
she still takes time out every
day to go down and ride him as
well as give him a bunch of his
adored carrots.
Writing is one of English ma-
jor Sandy's greatest loves. Be-
sides writing her own songs and
reams of poetry, she also has
her own sack of Ben Franklin
witticisms which include: "I de-
spise my sensitivity and curse my
apathy," and "To speak words
that are felt is to see yourself on
parade."
Miraculous as it may seem,
Sandy is also involved In many
PBJC activities. She is repre-
senting PBJC at the Miami
Dade Invitation Speech Tourna-
ment in Miami this weekend.
Besides Forensics, she is an
active member of the Media, the
Beachcomber, the Galleon, and
Phi Theta Kappa.
During her few spare moments,
Sandy draws, paints, and models.
When asked her reaction to
being named Miss Galleon
Sandy replied, "I was very
surprised for my talent was
!
folk singing and the term 'folk
singer' is thought of in a very
derogatory manner. I hope to
be able to give folk singing a
better image."
One of Sandy's outstanding at-
tributes is her love of mankind
"I'm very interested in everybody
and everything. In fact I try to
keep smiling no matter what
for it cheers up everyone aronra
me as well as making me fed
better.
One of my greatest desires is
to 'be an unprofessional profes-
sional psychiatrist for everyone
Students our age have so man)

It is said that one of woman'i

be a good listener, and if this fe
so, she could personify womar.

The Palm Beach Junior College
golf team completed its fall tour-
nament schedule last weekend
with a 5th place finish in the Uni-
versity of South Florida Tourna-
ment in Tampa.
Gulf Coast Junior College had
■ the best score for the tournament.
Their total was 5 shots better
than the second place team of
Miami-Dade North.
Tom Petraglia of Miami-Dade
North won his first college tour-
nament with a fine 151 total for
36 holes He was pressed hard
fey Robbie Wilson of Edison Jun-
ior College who finished one
stroke back.
Bobby McTammany of PBJC
finished 5th in the tournament
With a 156 total. His 76 on Sat-
urday was the sscond lowest
score of the day. The other
PBJC scores were Jim Har-
mon, 163, Steve Pearson 169,
and Pete Baton 170.
The course, carved out of
swamps, was a beautiful but de-
manding layout. One golf coach
called it, "one of the hardest
courses found anywhere."
After the tournament, Golf
Coach Ray Daugherty said "A
disappointing fall session showed
that the golf team needs more
practice to get ready for next
semester's schedule."
He did sound optimistic when
he said, "There is no one domi-
nating team in our Conference.
With a lot of practice we hope
to finish near the top."

Boston Strangler
by Jon Miller
'Comber Staff Writer
If you've seen and read all of
the newspaper reports of the do-
ings of the Boston strangler a
few year's back, and if you've
leafed through the best-seller of
the same name by Gerald Franck,
then you've pretty much experi-
enced all that's left in the movie.
Being that the strangler "did
his thing" with 13 victims, critics
would cry sacrilege if the pro-
ducers were to omit any of the
events as they occurred. But still,
the fact remains that one must
sit through 12 strangulations with
little visible action or evidence
that they indeed were as all vio^
lent as that.
They've saved the thirteenth
to dramatize on screen, and so
it cannot help but be a highpoint
in the film, as is the final clinic
session when the strangler
(Tony Curtis), a diagnosed
schizophrenic, identifies his
"other" self.
Yet, in a film which possesses
only two really captivating epi-
sodes, why does there seem to be
so much action, progression?
Present in "The Boston Stran-
gler" are all the tedious details
that makes a film prove itself
and without which this one surely
would have. We have television
evening news with a special re-
port from John Cameron Sway-
zee of the New York Parade for
the three Mercury astronauts;
the JFK funeral cortege and its
depressing effect (affect?); the
Boston Police Department's ex-
haustive search.
The latter is responsible in
carrying the first two-thirds of
the movie. The usual "rounding
up" of sex offenders is here,
but we're also given a touch
of some more distasteful in-
coverings as well as certain
sardonic humor in others.
The police department IS Henri
Fonda. Being that as it msj
"When Fonda is good he's verj
very good, but . . ." and in tfe
case Mr. Fonda appeared to h K
reading his lines from a Wf {
prompter or something such. Na
a 'bad performance, mind vk|
but only adequate.
Tony Curtis isn't onscreen ic-
til two -thirds of the film te
elapsed. His role suffers for c
The performance is fine eve
though there is a great lack e'
role integration into the film.
"The Strangler" is the second
major Hollywood release to
make use of the multiple screen \
("The Thomas Crown Affair™ |
pulled the first punch), and has,
in fact, improved greatly on
its predecessor. It is largely
because of the simultaneous at
tion that keeps the eye moving
and prevents one from failing
asleep.
Of course, it wouldn't be p&
sible in a 90-minute film to erf
pose us to a- greater depth «}'
knowledge of the strangler, Kr|
wife, the detective, or his v»|
tims; yet, there is no reason w
develop compassion for any d|
them if we have no idea of wte*
is actually motivating them. 1ft
aren't even given as much as m
clue as to what compels the stntjj"
gler to violate his victims.
In spite of these shortcoming!]
"The Strangler" succeeds in beM
an underplayed film in the tratj
ner of last year's "In The Hes
of the Night." You sit down, learf
back, and watch for an hour as[
a half, and that's what a gOKJ
movie is for isn't it?

Chamber Theatre To Highlight Orwell's 1984
A Chamber Theatre adaptation of
George Orwell's novel "1984" introduces
a new drama form to the PBJC stage.
Utilizing the audience oriented narra-
tive style of the Reader's Theatre and
the stage focused action of a play, Cham-
ber Theatre presents a unique impres-
sion.
The major roles of the production are
carried by the narrators, using a script
and detailing to the audience the pro-
gression of the story.
Supplementing the narration are the
"actor - interpreters," pantomining the
story and speaking the dialogue.
The narrators, here played by Chuck
Mayes and Carol Gravlin, function from
platforms on either side of the stage or
outside the "action area."
The actor-interpretors, featuring Mar-
tin Tischler as Winston, Nick Bougis
as O'Brien and Elizabeth Alexander as"
Julia, concentrate their actions in the
center stage, with simple stage prop-
erties.
The omnipresent voice and influence
of Big Brother emanates from off-«tage
and is supplied by Richard Sheffield.
A two member Chorus, that will also
serve as individual characters as they
appear, includes Linda Gold and Laura
Braford.
The three act drama of Winston's re-
bellion against the thought and life con-
trolling Party of a future world, is di-
rected by Josh Crane, with Student Di-
rector Chris Cotter and Assistant Di-
rector Leslie Starwbaugh.
The production is being presented on
Dec. 13 - 14 at 8:14 in the Auditorium
with no admission charge.

Failure To Comply With Contract
Results In $500 Loss To Agent
TO PERFORM-Famed Radio City Music Hall organist
Richard Liebert is to perform an organ recital Monday, Dec.
2, at 10:30 in the Auditorium.
Famed Radio City Organist
Featured In Next Assembly
Nationally known radio and re-
cording al-tist Richard Liebert is
to present an organ recital here
Monday, Dec. 2, at 10:30 a.m. in
the Auditorim.
The third and final program for
the trimester is to consist of
Classical and Pop music.
Liebert first publicly appeared
as an organist at the age of
seven when he played the
hymns for the Morning Chapel
Services.
His first engagement was at
Loew's Palace Theatre in Wash-
ing D. C, where he served as
a summer replacement.
It was 'here that he heard of
the scholarship award to be
given by the Peabody Conserva-
tory of Music in Baltimore. Lie-
bert journeyed to the Conserva-
tory and won a three year schol-
arship.
As a theatre organist, Leibsrt
was heard in movie palaces of
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago,
and finally became organist of
the .Brooklyn Paramount Theatre.
It was at this time that the
Radio City Music Hall was
nearing completion. In response
to an invitation to compete for
the position for chief organist,
Leibert found himself in conten-
tion with thirteen other appli-
cants.
Leibert showed the versatility
that he is known for by playing
a medley of compositions ranging
from Bach to Gershwin, for his
audition.
The judges unanimously select-
ed Leibert for the position which
he has held to this day.
He has appeared with the Buf-
falo Symphony, Rochester Sym-
phony, and many choral and mu-
sical organizations.
Some of his best selling record-
ings are, "Liebert Takes a Holi-
day," "Nightcap," and "Liebert
Takes Broadway," all on the
Westminster label. He has also
recorded for RCA Victor and
Camden' labels.
The assembly schedule will be
in effect for the day.
Penalizing the agent of "The
Grass Roots" for his alleged
failure to fulfill all terms on a
contract with PBJC, Student Gov-
ernment has deducted $500 from
the contracted amount for the
rock group's Nov. 11 performance
here,
SGA Social Chairman Larry
Krasulak said the amount was
taken out of the group's $2,500
paycheck after it allegedly failed
to live up to a contract calling
for a 90-minute performance.
But Producer "Van" Tonkins,
of the California-based Campus
Concerts Ltd., retorted that "The
Grass Roots" could not fulfill its
contract because of "a lack of
planning" on the part of PBJC.
"There was room for mis-
understanding on both sides,"
Tonkins said, "but I know they
(PBJC) are in the wrong."
Tonkins said he would absorb
the $500 loss because he is "too
big" to bother with it.
"I can hold the school to every
dime they owe us," Tonkins said,
"but I'm too big to worry about
it."
The Grass Roots performed
here in a joint concert with "The
Monopoly," a West Palm Beach
singing group.
Krasulak said when "The Grass
Roots" arrived on campus the
group's road manager, Robert
Tomasso, confronted him with a
contract which stated the per-
formance was to be "one show."
He said no time specifications
were made in Tomasso's contract,
nor was it signed by any PBJC
representative.
"My contract was as much of
a surprise to him as his was to
me," Krasulak said.
"He (Tomasso) then told me his
lead singer had a sore throat and
asked for our cooperation and we
finally agreed that they would
perform for an hour and 15 or 20
minutes," Krasulak said.
But the group quit after per-
forming for only an hour — 30
minutes short of the 90 minutes
called for in the contract.
It wasn't until a few days later
that a $2,000 check was mailed
to Tonkins.
Meanwhile, the producer had
sent a telegram to PBJC Presi-
dent Harold C. , Manor in which
he said Krasulak had "created a
most unnecessary and inconsider-
ate situation between the Grass
Roots Concert group, your cam-
pus and my company."
Tonkins stated in his message
that the "artists . . . performed
more than was necessary."
He requested from Manor that
"to everyone's mutual advantage
you personally mail the contract
price in full to my office within
the next week."
"Should it become necessary,
we have methods to deal with
situations like this." Tonkins
said in the telegram. He did
not indicate what the methods
might be.
But reached by phone later at
his California home, Tonkins told
the Beachcomber he had changed
his mind and decided to accept
the $2,000.
"If I wanted to get tough," he
said, "I could have gotten tough.
I'm one of the higgest campus

Just The Facts, Ma'am
. . . The Bare Facts
Beachcomber reporters are indoctrinated to be ob-
seryant at all times and are instructed to get all the
facts— even the bare facts,
One female Beachcomber reporter did just that.
Enroute to the parking lot just south of the human-
ities building, her reportorial eye for detail suddenly
developed spasmatic tremors.
Her first thought was that a male model had
toppled from his pedestal and perhaps was out on a
coffee break, for there in front of her was a smiling
young man a la September Morn (that's nude).
She immediately recognized this as a direct viola-
tion of the PBJC Dress Code and dutifully reported it
to Editor-in-Chief Sam Pepper.
When questioned- as to whether or not the man was
completely undraped she hesitantly replied "well he
was wearing sun glasses."
With continued disbelief the two journalists-to-be
decided to investigate further.
At this time the disrobed man was driving about
the parking lot in a late model station wagon,
Instructing her to keep an eye on him, Editor
Pepper hastened to locate a photographer. The pho-
tographer however, arrived too late to get the "ex-
posure."
The Palm Beach County Sheriffs Department, noti-
fied of the incident, is investigating the case.
The two reporters supplied the make, mr
license number of the station wagon as well
cal description of its driver.

Help The Student
Thus far this year the SGA Student Senate has . . .
Passed a- bill establishing an honorarium for the SGA
Senate clerk.
Allocated two hundred and eighty dollars to the Beach-
comber, to enable two staff members to attend a national
seminar-workshop.
Questioned the rights and restrictions of the executive
power.
And at the last senate meeting before press time, after
three weeks of discussion, defeated a senate by-law re-
stricting the number of meetings that an SGA Senator may
miss before he is removed from office.
The latter resolution is typical of the issues that have
bogged down the functioning of the senate since the first
meeting was held in early October.
Procedural matters have been uppermost on the Senate's
agenda. It is fine to undertake such steps but now that most
of these matters are settled it is time that something is done
that directly benefits the students of tin's institution.

UF Initiates
JC Recruiting
The Department of Junior Col-

Florida is installing a four-phase
program to recruit, orient, and
inform prospective Junior college
transfer students.
The department, the newest ad-
dition of the student body presi-
dent's cabinet, has been devised
to encourage transfer students to
go to N the U, of F.
The program is to correspond
with those of the junior col-
leges concerning points of em-
phasis in academic require-
ments and orientational in-
formation.
UF faculty members and stu-
dents have planned a series of
counseling visits to state junior
colleges.
Voice Of The Readers
Pro-Daley Resolution ' Amusing'
Editor,
I was amused to learn that the
PBJC Sccial Science department
has adopted a resolution condon-
ing and even praising Mayor
Richard Daley's police's actions
during the Democratic National
Convention.
As a .reward for their valiant
stand, the group of instructors
received a "Thanks" card with a
picture of the great political boss
Daley himself! How proud must
they feel!
I must admit that 'I was not
surprised to see such a resolu-
tion emerging from a department
that merely a year ago was on
the brink of censuring the PBJC
student newspaper because one of
its student staff members dared
write a satire not to their liking.
But it did surprise me to hear
that the statement supporting Da-
ley's police's handling of the dem-
onstrations was endorsed by all
but one of the members of the
Social Sciences Department.
It was a sad day for PBJC
when a department that should
indeed be the forerunner in sup-
porting social justice chose to
support the extremist policies of
the Chicago Police Department.
Yes, there certainly were more
than a few troublemakers (or
anarchists, if you prefer) behind
the Chicago incidents. It would
be foolish to say that all those
participating in ths demonstra-
tions were citizens concerned
about what they considered to be
a faulty process at the Demo-
cratic convention.
Yes, some news media coverage
of those incidents was not what
could be described as impartial.
It seems like the ability to report
the news accurately and impar-
tially could be impaired when
your head has been cracked by
a policeman's nightstick.
But how can anyone brush
aside the too-painfully-clear mem-
ories of fallen young men and
women being MACED and beaten
time and again long after they
had even ceased speaking.
Much has been said and cer-
tainly much more will be said
about the Chicago incidents.
Some, like the PBJC Social Sci-
ence department, will label the
police's actions as "worthy of
commendation." Others prefer to
call it one of the most shameful
chapters in recent American his-
tory.
But the events of those warm
summer nights when tempers rar
short and human patience was
stretched to its utmost limit— and
collapsed— were not new to me. ■ j
I witnessed some time ago the
same kind of zealous "law en-
forcement" (or brutality — if yea
wish).
But that was over six years ago
in a small Caribbean counti)
where ideas are no longer intel-
lectually rebuked.
They are killed.

'Comber Staff Wrtfer
" 'Philadelphia', will probably
be one of the most convincing
productions of the year," quote-
unquote Nicholas Bougis, student
director/character actor in the
College Players' initial offering
of the school year.
Stated more than a week prior
to the rise of the curtain on
"Philadelphia, Here I Come," I
don't think even Mr. Bougis could
have foreseen the immense, in-
deed intense, audience accept-
ance of Brian Friei's successful
New York play.
For a three-act play to lay
such a broad expanse from
comedy to choked-emotion ren-
.derings to the best of drama
is an endorsement of the play-
wright's capabilities. For all of
this to succeed can only be
an endorsement of the College
and director Frank
Players
Leahy.
Mr. Leahy may have known
that PBJC's first production
would be reviewed for a berth in
the American College Theatre
Festival when "Philadelphia" was
chosen. He may not have. On
stage, however, it is evident that
much tender loving care has been
woven around the heart of this
play — the heart being words.
Words that waver at poignant
reminiscing; words that resound
with zealous anticipation; words
that are cast and set befcre they
can be molded; all are here, all
are pertinent.
There are words from Gar
O'Donnell, the public (Greg
Bean), and simultaneous words
from Gar, the private (John
Schneider)— a veritable exemplifi-
cation of today's communication
lag.

Problems Of larthly Living
Topic Of Assembly Lecture
by Suzanne Lash
'Cnmher staff Writer
We are living in a society of
confusion and controversy leading
to a multiple crisis of which we
have suddenly become aware.
This awareness springs from the
space age technological revolu-
tion which has caused us to ex-
amine deeply our goals.
These thoughts opened the lec-
ture of Mr. Jules Bergman, ABC
News Science Editor and prom-
inent author, before an assembly
audience November 14. Entitled
"Conquering Space and Saving
the Earth," the lecture was de-
veloped to show the connection
between the two.
Digressing from his topic in
the early part of the lecture,
Bergman outlined the Apollo
VIII manned moon shot, which
he felt to be of major current
interest.
The manned vessel, to be
launched on December 21, will
orbit the moon for 20 hours, skim-
ming 9 miles above the surface
and obtaining photographs not be-
fore possible. The astronauts
will get man's first view of the
far side of the moon.
Bergman applauded the Apollo
VIII mission as a "monumental
achievement."
Reverting to his original topic,
he attempted to answer the
question "Why are we going?"'
"When we land on the moon,"
he stated, "it will be a symbol
of our technological excellence
and an advance in our way of
life. We are plagued now by
the same shortsightedness that
denied the value of the airplane
of the Wright brothers."
Moving from the field ot space
travel and exploration. Jules
Bergman tackled the problems of
"saving the earth," emphasizing
the importance of research in
oceanography for our future well-
being.
"The starvation gap couid be
filled by the ocean." he assured
us. "We have ignored the inner
space of the oceans too long. Less
is known about the depths of the
sea than the reaches of space."
Yet the seas hold more promise
of commercial value than any
space projpet. The key to unlock
ocean mining and farming will
save the world. Man himself is
that key and Bergman said he
was certain that man will make
use of it.
Expanding his coverage on sav-
ing the earth, Bergman entered
a discussion of medicine todav
saying the field suffers a criti-
cal shortage of researchers,
nurses and doctors. Without the'
necessary researchers, no more
breakthroughs will occur, Berg-
man added.
He said the United States
needs more hospitals of a new
kind, utilizing computers that
can monitor patients full time.
The emphasis in medicine is for
better care for more patients
at less cost, Bergman said.
Striking into the area of avia-
tion, Bergan touched on the need
for a vertical and short landing
craft and more efficient air traf-
fic control to alleviate the crowd-
ed sky conditions. He stated that
military aircraft development is
lagging behind that of the Rus-
sians at this time.
Effectively saving the earth
must also include advances in
transportation and a great Im-
provement in housing to rid the
U. S. of its "choking system of
concrete and asphalt and the rat-
infested hovels of the city siums."
The year 2,000, Bergman
claimed, holds unlimited promis?
if we take hold now, following
the words of the late Robert F.
Kennedy, "Other men see things.
as they are and ask why. I dream
of things that ne\er were and
ask why not."
Charity Again The Recipient

For the second consecutive year

to be given by Duncan with ail
the proceeds to go to the Osborne

Graffiti lis The Classroom?
Robert Reisner, author of "Selected Seiawls from Bath-
room Walls," is the newly-named instructor for a graduate
course in the study of graffiti, to be offered at the New School
for Social Research in New York City.
Reisner says graffiti scrawls are a commentary on the
modern world. Explaining that such "writings" are for humor's
sake, patriotism, and anarchism are generally a reflection of
witty, intelligent people. He's quick to confess, however, that
much graffiti is merely obscene. (Those are the ones every-
one has heard three times over!)
In a concluding observation Reisner said, "Graffiti has
literally changed de face of de nation."
It'll been overheard that power is turning
up the heat In a wax museum,
Lingering in the lobby of the Auditorium during inter-
mission of "Philadelphia, Here I Come," made me aware of
yet another little publicized PBJC achievement.
On the display boards is proof that the PBJC Drama
Department must be doing something right.
Evidenced in the display are former students of the
department who have continued in the field and garnered
a share of success.
Two (Burt Reynolds and Monte Markham) have had their
own TV series, "Hawk" and "The Last 100 Years," respec-
tively; Reynolds having had roles in "Riverboat" and "Gun-
smoke" besides.
Representing PBJC m the Off Broadway play "You're A
Good Man, Charlie Brown" are alumni Bob Lydiard and
Patricia Britton.
Add to this that "Philadelphia, Here I Come" is in
contention for nationwide competition and honors, and
one must surely honor the department under Watson B.
Duncan HI, Frank Leahy, Josh Crane, and Arthur Musto
as one of directorial progressiveness.
With four graduates "making it," it wouldn't surprise to
;ee more.

Religion, Old Or Hew;
Which Will Prevail?
("Comber Staff Puoto by Brnest DeBakey) &
Pacer's Pride
Star of stage and screen, Chris
Hotter, this week's Pacers pride is
a drama enthusiast's dream. A
sophomore drama major, Chris is
to appear in the production of
"South Pacific" out at the old Music
Carnival grounds on December 3,
4, 5, 8, and 7. Studying keeps this
charming coed pretty busy at PBJC.
Several summers ago she went to
Spain and made a pilot film which
is coming to this area the last of
December. All we can say is, "the
drama department has done it
again."

producers in the country."
Tonkins said the conflict came
about because two groups had
been signed to appear at the con-
cert.
He said it was "very unusual
to have a dance and a concert
at the same time."
"I never heard of such a thing,"
he said.
A check of the contracts with
both "The Grass Roots" and "The
Monopoly," however, revealed
both groups had been booked for
concert engagement only.
Asked if the contract made
any provisions as to the possible
appearance of a second group
or if he had discussed the mat-
ter with Krasulak, Tonkins said
he had not "even thought about
such a possibility."
"It was all Krasulak's mis-
take," he said. "The kid is go-
ing to school and what the hell
does he know about producing?"
"If I wanted to give it to my
attorney and create problems I
could do it," Tonkins added, "but
it is good enough to leave the
whole thing alone."
He said tornado warnings in ef-
fect in the area the evening of
the concert had kept him from
driving to PBJC from Coral
Gables where he was staying at
the time.
"If I had been there perhaps
things would have been differ-
ent," he said.
An off-campus group of Chris-
tian college students were recent-
ly involved in polling the students
of PBJC as to how many students
are searching for a more person-
al religious faith.
The group, who meet weekly
to study and discuss the Bible,
has found many stimulating and
interesting answers to their stu-
dent questionnaire.
The results of the survey are
as follows:
Question 1— Do you think re-
ligion is relevant to school life?
Of the students taking the survey,
64 per cent said yes, 30 percent
said no, and six per cent didn't
answer.
Question 2— Are you a member
of a churoh or any other reli-
gious group? 76 per cent stated
they were a member of a re-
ligious group or church, 20 per
cent said they were not, and four
per cent didn't answer.
Question 3— What is the name of
this group? This question was un-
answered by 29 per cent of the
students. The largest groups
named were 23 per cent Catholic,
18 per cent Baptist, and eight
per cent Methodist There were
also 15 other religions mentioned.
Question 4— During the past
year, have you attended religious
services more than twice a
month? 59 per cent had attended
religious services more than
twice a month, 38 per cent had
not and three per cent didn't
answer.
Question 5~ Do you feel what
you have been taught in your
place of worship has been a guide
for your teen years? A place of
worship has guided 73 per cent
of the students, had not influenced
22 per cent, and five per cent
didn't answer.
Question 6— Do you feel a high
number of teens would feel the
need for a more personal reli-
gious faith? Of the students tak-
ing the survey, 59 per cent said
yes, 30 per cent no, and 11 per
cent didn't answer.
Question 7— What would you
consider the reason for this need?
There were as many answers as
there were students polled.

The Pacers opened their 1968-
69 cage season on a winning note
Friday night as they defeated
Florida Junior College 81-74 in
an overtime thriller.
At the end of regulation play,
the two teams had played to a
70-70 deadlock. In the ensuing
five-minute overtime period, the
Pacers outscored their Jackson-
ville opponents 11-4 to gain the
victory.
"Overall we did not play
well," commented Coach Jim
Tanner, "Our tempo was bad.
You have to play at a certain
pace, and ours was slow. We
didn't take advantage of offen-
sive and defensive mistakes
made by the FJC."
Tanner had previously stated
that he expected the first game
always to 'be a tough one since
first-game jitters make it rough
on the players and hurts their
timing.
The PBJC team was led by
6' 7" forward Earl Findley who
popped in 22 points and grabbed
21 rebounds. Jimmy Jacksoi
gathered 22 rebounds to lead the
Pacers and Jim Ley garnered
16. Center Warcecer Jakes hauled
down 11.
The Pacers literally murdered
FJC on the boards, as they cap-
tured 85 rebounds to the Jack
sonville squad's 30.
Keeping in mind that it was tte
Pacers first game of the season
Tanner was not displeased witft
his team's play.
"Our rebounding was good
but our shooting was not plea*
ing. Even though our Held goal
percentage was impressive, we
missed several shots from the
outside that should have bees
made."
Probably the thing that -hurt &■
Pacers the most was their flow
play and ball handling. Ttiey con-
tributed 30 turnovers whict
proved to be costly.
Tanner added "There was a
per cent difference between our
turnovers and FJC's turnover
We gave them 11 more pointi
on mishaps than, they gave us."

And The Walls Came Tumbling Down
CIVITAN PRESIDENT, Gary Angst, lowers the boom
on the PBJC time capsule built by the Civitans. School offi-
cials with the mutual consent of the Civitans decided that
the capsule should be removed because of the large amount
of water it had collected during the rainy season.
Civitans Blame Administration
Time Capsule Removed
-!f
by Jim Fuller
'Combpr News Editor
Poor construction and a mistake
in location lead to the eventual
annihilation of the Givitan time
capsule.
Claude Edwards, Director of the
Physical Plant, said the main rea-
son for the removal of the time
capsule was that it was subject to
constant flooding.
The water table in the area of
the time capsule is approximately
four feet. During a heavy rain the
water level would be much 'higher.
The capsule was not water-
proofed -and it would flood.
Edwards further stated that a
possible solution to the problem
of flooding would have been to
have installed a metal tank, filled
with nitrogen gas. This would
have prevented any flooding and
would have preserved any objects
placed in the capsule.
The time capsule in its pres-
ent form served no purpose—
"it became more or less an ob-
ject," Edwards added.
Another reason for the removal
of the time capsule was its loca-
tion. The present site is different
from what was brought before the
administration.
Edwards said the original lo-
cation for the capsule was in an
area just north of the Cafeteria.
Jack Elliot a member of Civi-
tans, contends that the proposed
location in front of the Cafeteria
was impossible because of under-
ground pipes.
Dr. Manor, on the other hand
stated that the original plans
called for an above-ground con-
struction.
The capsule in its present lo-
cation is in the direct path of a
future building.
The main contention on the
part of the Civitans is that the
administration knew that they
were building the time capsule
in its present location.
Edwards said he was aware of
the location of the capsule when
construction was just beginning.
Civitan president Gary Angst
stated, "He could have stopped
it right there."
Edwards said he questioned the
Civitans on why they were build-
ing the time capsule in that area.
He said the Civitans told him
that they had gotten approval
from a member of the adminis-
tration and he let it go.
When asked who got the ap-
proval from the administration,
Jack Elliot would not give the
name of the individual, saying
that he did not want to "get
the guy in trouble."
Plans are being made for a
new time capsule. Edwards said
that the school may defray part
of the cost.

Pre-Poid Registration A First;
Schedule Inspection Begins Monday
by Craig Heyl
'Comber Associate Editor
For the first time a student at
PBJC has the opportunity of pre-
registering for his winter term
classes.
This new program goes into op-
eration Monday at 8:00 a.m.
According to Registrar Laur-
ence Mayfield, "under the new
system of pre-paid registration,
students may pay their fees dur-
ing the last two weeks of the fall
term, and do not have to report
back until the first day of classes,
Jan. 8, 1969."
With counseling completed,
duplicate computerized sched-
ules are being made available
to the student for his inspec-
tion, beginning Monday, Dec. 9.
These .schedules are located in
the Guidence offices, located in
the AD wing.
The schedule is made available
solely for the student's investiga-
tion, and is not the student's
copy.
After inspecting the schedule,
the student has several alterna-
tives.
First, he may accept the
schedule as it stands. If he is
prepared to pay his registra-
tion fee at this time, he pro-
ceeds to the registrar's office,
located in the Main Office.
There, he is given a registra-
tion kit, consisting of fee card,
student's copy of schedule, stu-
dent ID, etc.
From the registrar's office the
student may then proceed to the
finance office where he may pay
the fee.
Courses may not be added or
dropped at this time, however
they may be during the first
week of classes, in January.
This procedure does not have
to be completed in a day's
time.
For example, a student may go
to the Guidance Office Monday,
Dec. 9, the first day the new
service is offered.
After inspecting the duplicate
ccpy, he decides he will accept
it. He may then not pick up the
registration kit until Wednesday,
Dec. 11.
Christmas Concert Wednesday
The Christmas Concert, featur-
ing the College Singers and Con-
cert Band, is scheduled for Dec.
10 and 11.
The first performance is plan-
ned for a 10:30 a. m. assembly,
Tuesday, Dec. 10 at the college
Auditorium.
The second, an evening per-
formance at 8:00 p.m., will be
staged at the Calvary Methodist
Church on First Ave. North and
Federal Hwy. in Lake Worth.
The College Singers, directed
by Donald Butterworth, are to
perform the "Ceremony of Car-
ols" by Benjamin and several
other traditional Christmas num-
bers.
The PBJC Concert Band, by
Sy Pryweller, is to perform a
new contemporary work "Litur-
gual Music for Band" by Martin
Mailman. The more traditional
"Greensleeves" and Leroy An-
derson's "Christmas Festival"
are also scheduled for both
shows.
The student may then have un-
til Friday, Dec. 20, to pay his
fees at the Finance Office. The
day hours are from 8:00 a.m. un-
til 3:00 p.m., and the evening
hours are from 6:00 p.m. until
9:00 p.m.
Students who begin and do
not complete these procedures,
including the payment of the
fees, must return all materials
to the Registrar's Office by
December 20, or their schedule
will be cancelled.
These students shall be required
to plan a new schedule on their
regular registration appointment
posted on the main bulletin board.
A second choice may be that the
student finds it more convenient
to register as scheduled during
the week of January 2-7.
The schedule that was made
available to him in December
shall remain the same whether
or not he takes advantage of the
pre-payment program.
The final alternative for the stu-
dent is that he may reject it en-
tirely and return during the first
week of January to register man-
ually.
"Laff-Out" And "Beaf/es"
Target Of Coffee House
"Strawberry Beatles Forever"
and "Laff-Out; A Premeditated
Happening" concluded the Read-
er's Theatre Coffee House produc-
tions for the Fall term on Tues-
day, December 3.
"Strawberry Beatles Forever,"
written by John Schneider, who
also directed it and read in the
presentation, took a candid look
at the Beatles today and tomor-
row, taking off from the cover
of their Sgt. Pepper's album.
Interspersing the biographical
sketch of their fame and prog-
ress with frequent recitations
of their more notable record-
ings, the readers evoked laugh-
ter and appreciative applause
from an audience of about 200.
The lyrics recited ranged from
the ballad "Yesterday," by John
Lennon and the tell-it-like-it-is
"Nowhere Man" to "Glass Onion,"
a cut from their current album
simply entitled "Beatles."
The creative group was por-
trayed as being transformed from
their early appealing image into
an experimental laboratory group
with a future beyond imagina-
tion.
The second presentation of
Coffee House, "Laff-Out," fol-
lowed a roving Blitzcomber re-
porter to a party at the Lake
Worth Shuffleboard Coliseum.
Attempting to interview the 1928
graduates of Sandspur U., she
encountered comments ranging
from "Confucious say, 'He who
hesitates better have good alibi
when he gets home,' " to "Sta-
tistics prove that if jour parents
didn't have any children, neither
will you."

Middlemen Count
A great American philosopher once stated, "Why bothei
with the middleman when you can go to the top."
SGA President Rodney Smith, has heeded this advice.
In a letter to the District Board of Trustees, Smith re-
quested that a date be set up for the presentation and dis-
cussion of "grievances" that were indicated in a number of
recent polls conducted by SGA
It is not the function of the Board, nor is it the duty of
the college president to review such matters.
The proper channel to present the results of the polls
would be the SGA Senate - the middleman.
We also feel that the results should be made available
for publication in the Beachcomber and should be posted on
various campus bulletin boards. It appears that President
Smith is the only one who knows what the poll really did
determine.
No poll is private— it is the property of the students, as
it is their right to be informed.

Elvis image (After 15 years they
should be worried?)
The new single cut from the

'Comber Staff Write*
"Shocking!" remarked one
teacher upon leaving the lecture
room.
"I'm scandalized to think that
someone like him is teaching Eng-
lish" whispered another.
These comments referred to
Watson B. Duncan, Ill's speech
entitled "Observations on ithe
Teaching of English m the Jun-
ior College" which was delivered
at the 58th Annual Convention of
the National Council of Teachers
of English last weekend in Mil-
waukee Wisconsin.
Duncan, head of the English
Department, was one of the
guest speakers on the topic of
literature programs in two-year
colleges.
Renowned for his loud and ring-
ing praise of the "Big S" (as
Duncan so fondly refers to Shake-
speare), this instructor is con-
tinually asserting in class that
Shakespeare is often taught bad-
ly-
Thus it was only natural that
the theme of his talk was 'un-
fortunately on the junior college
level Shakespeare is badly
taught.'
"From my observations in 30
years teaching (21 on the junior
college level), I am rather cer-
tain that Shakespeare in the
two year college is in trouble.
The too-frequently dull class-
room dosages of Shakespeare are
•unpalitable to th% student and fall
far short of inspiration.
Too many of our students say
Shakespeare is a 'square.' We
need more students to say Shake-
speare is a 'cool cat' "
This ability of being 'cool' and
*hep' Duncan has acquired, for
he continued along with his mod-
ernistic approach by saying:
"Teachers frequently waste
time in class on unimportant sub-
jects such as insects mentioned
in Shakespeare's plays, and how
many kids Lady Capulet had.
Who cares anyway?"
The junior college student
(sometimes having his last and
only contact with the literary
genius), could care less about
such trivialities.
Duncan then issued a request
to the English teachers of Amer-
ica
"My plea to you is that we in
the two-year college not bury
Shakespeare under yards of gib-
berish and drive him away from
the many hundreds of students
who are perfectly capable of en-
joying him."
His proposed solution to this
problem is to get away from
the scholarly approach of study.
Many of the students were
shocked by this break from the
traditional teaching of Shake-
peare. Yet this is the method
which Duncan employs and proof
of his success is the high enroll-
ment in his classes
He also attended several sem-
inars on the preparation and
methods applied by college Eng-
lish teachers
The 'Duncans made it home
safely and didn't have to make
an unexpected stop in Cuba.
Thinking back upon the possibil-
ity of a surprise visit to the south-
ern island, Duncan commented
that "he hadn't planned on
clothes for an extra day."

Miami Victory Incentive;
Pacers To Finish Strong
Coach Jim Tanner may sound
a bit optimistic when he says the
Pacers will have a 5-3 record be-
fore the Christmas 'break, but the
Pacers have finally smoothed out
all their kinks and idiosyncrasies
that basketball teams seem to
have early in the season.
The cagers now head into
their final two games of the fall
schedule.
Tonight they travel to Drake in
Ft. Lauderdale This is the final
game of the year with Drake,
who they defeated 94-67 three
weeks ago.
Asked if there was any set
game plan Tanner replied, "We
need to move the ball around,
take good shots, and make care-
ful passes. At the start we have
been rushing our play, which re-
sulted in so many mishaps."
Tanner also feels that the vic-
tory over the University of Mi-
ami Frosh is a turning point
for his team. "After the loss
to the Florida State Frosh,
which is one of the best teams
in Florida, we needed the vic-
tory over Miami to boost our
momentum."
The Pacers come 'home next
Saturday for their final game of
the fall term against Miami-Dade
North.

Basis Support On Recent Petition
SGA Prexy Favors Changes In Dress Code
by Sam Pepper
'Comber Editor-in-Chief
SGA President Rodney Smith,
in a written statement to the
Beachcomber, has announced his
support of a recent petition ad-
vocating changes in the present
PBJC dress code.
"I must endorse this advocacy
of change." Smith pointed out,
"There has never, in my recollec-
tion, been a more significant
gathering of student opinion, as
was shown by these students."
The petition, which is primar-
ily the work of sophomores Bob
Justice, Larry Sipprell, Bill
Donahue and Joel Raslmowicz,
basically states that since
"length of hair, sideburns and
beards, .shorts and slacks for
girls do not affect one's learn-
ing capacity they should not be
ruled against."
The document was handed to
the executive department of SGA
with the request that the student
senate take immediate action
upon.
"The students have united in
their appeal to SGA," Smith went
on, "And I am sworn and glad
to do everything I can to elim-
inate the problems that now
exist.'"
Signatures attached to the peti-
tion total 1,100, however, SGA
Secretary Marilyn Meyers said
that close to 500 names could not
be verified due to illegible hand-
writing.
There are 3,400 day students
enrolled and 1,600 night, which
combined is a total of more
than 5,000 students. The peti-
tion was circulated during both
day and night sessions.
"We are now giving SGA a
chance to prove itself," stated
Justice,- "we have united the stu-
dents behind you. Now the SGA
can actually do something for the
students."
Justice also charged that it is
the Beachcomber's duty to back
the students by supporting the pe-
tition.
During Thursday's senate meet-
ing, Smith in his President's Re-
port informed senators that he
has written a resolution, which
he plans to submit to the senate
during first meeting of the winter
term.
He did, however, read to the
senate a rough draft of the res-
olution he plans to present at
its next meeting.
The resolution centers around
the TormuTation of a committee
comprised of faculty and student
senators that would have the pow-

Fall Enrollment - 5279;
Females Still A Minority
l-R Awards Dance Seen As A First;
Civifan Russ Black Selected King
A new innovation in I-R awards
presentations was tested Wednes-
day night and according to Di-
rector Roy Bell, "it was found
to be a success."
The I-R board presented their
awards in the form of a dance,
which was held in the SAC lounge.
The dance lasted from 8 p.m.
until 11 p.m. Music was provided
by the Carnival.
The I-R board crowned Russ
Black of Civitans intramural
king for the fall term. The se-
lection of the king was based
on overall-participation in intra-
murals.
Awards were presented for the
following sports: flag tag football,
volleyball (men's and women's
and co-ed), men's and women's
golf, men's and women's bowling,
Men's tennis, and men's and
women's table tennis.
Plans are being made for a
similar type of awards presenta-
tion in which an intramural queen
will be crowned.
by Craig Heyl
'Comber Associate Editor
Males outnumber females on
our campus by only 399 stu-
dents.
This was announced Tuesday,
Dec. 10, in the official Report
of Enrollment completed for the
Division of Community Junior
Colleges. Also reported was the
total enrollment for the fall
term of the academic year of
5,279.
The report, computed by
Miss Edna D. Wilson, Admin-
istrative Assistant to the Reg-
istrar, showed that the total
number of males enrolled was
2,839, while the female's total
was 2,440.
The enrollment report was
broken down into several sec-
tions, the first being the fall
enrollment of on-campus stu-
dents by county.
Palm Beach County led with
4,534 students attending this in-
stitution with Broward county
second with 304.
Dade recorded 37, Hendry 21,
Orange 19, and Duval 15, while
Martin had 14, and Brevard 11.
Twenty-three other counties had
ten or less students enrolled.
The total enrollment of Flor-
ida students attending PBJC,
was 5,038.
Tne second part concerned
itself with the enrollment of on-
campus students by state and
other geographical areas.
Florida, of course, led with
5,038. New York state contrib-
uted 36 students while New Jer-
sey 'had 24.
Thirty other states contributed
to bring the U. S. total to 5,261.
An interesting fact was that
Canada offered eight of her
students and ten other foreign
countries offered their's to
make the grand total 5,279.
One thousand six hundred and
thirty-eight of the total number
of Florida students are enrolled
for the first time in college.
The grand total for the first
time in college, made up by
state and other geographical
areas was 1,729.
Additional breakdowns of the'
report were in the male and fe-
male categories.
As stated before, of the 5,279
total for on-campus enroll-
ment, 2,839 were male and
2,440 were female.
Nine hundred and one males
and eight hundred and twenty-
eight females made up the total
of 1,729 for the flrst-time-in-
college enrollment
The enrollment in terminal
courses, curriculums of at least
one year but less than four, wa^
1,364. This included all the stu-
dents in the total enrollment who
are enrolled in a terminal or
technical program.
There were 690 males and 674
females enrolled in this type of
program.

A Need For Caution
Student Government President Rodney Smith is in the
process of presenting a resolution to the SGA Senate advo-
cating that certain changes be made in the present PBJC
personal appearance code.
We feel that some changes may prove to be merited,
however, we urge that not only senators but the entire stu-
dent body exercise extreme caution and view these matters
from all angles before reaching a conclusion.
Questions that should be considered before formulating
a decision include:
.... Will this change in dress affect the image and repu-
tation that this college enjoys, do to its present standards of
dress?
. . . Will the community view this institution with same
respect it has had for it in the past?
.... Does 1,100 students out of a total enrollment of
5,000 constitute a majority?
Will this college be controlled by a minority such
as the case of Berkeley and San Francisco State?
. . . Will financial aids and donations be curtailed be-
cause of a change in our physical image?
. . Since it is proven that our present dress code is a
benefit to us, in what ways will a change aid us?
. . . Does the petition that was circulated leally prove
that students approve of all the changes it is advocating?
. Is this petition asking for a change or is it actually
proposing the abolishment of a dress code?
.... If changes are made how many people will actually
take advantage of these changes?
The world's greatest decisions have evolved from careful
and thorough deliberation. Become involved with the issue
before you attempt to judge its validity.
Students Are Important
The Finance Department has vetoed a proposal suggested
by members of the administration that would allow students
to drop a class and still be able to take part in the pre-payment
of fees.
Finance contests that a class drop could change a stu-
dent's full-time status to part-time thus lowering his tuition
costs.
A compromise was then reached which would allow a
student to drop a class as long as it did not affect his full
time status.
This proposition was also vetoed by the Finance Depart-
ment.
By turning this down, they have committed a great dis-
service to the students of this institution.
Students who have decided definitely on dropping a class
are now inconvenienced by being required to return during va-
cation to register.
If this proposal would have been accepted it would have
also been an aid to students who have to schedule manually
in January. Classes that are dropped early create openings
that may not otherwise be available to the student scheduling
the week before classes begin.
We ieel that the Finance Department heads should re-
validate their stand on this issue before registration begins
next teim. it's bine that the Finance Department realizes
rliar then existence depends upon students and not vice versa.
Voice Of The Readers
Present Dress Code Is Illogical
Editor:
In the amazingly short period
of three days, a group of students
has collected a list of over 1,100
signatures on a petition concern-
ing the present dress code now
in force at Palm Beach Junior
College.
The petition suggests certain
changes in the code which, if
passed in the Senate, would al-
low a student to determine, on
his own, what is fashionable,
tasteful, and appropriate as to
his or her personal appearance
on campus.
There are some few parties
who need to be informed as to the
ramifications of this proposed
change in the present policy.
To the faculty:
These changes will not result in
a completely chaotic swarm of
proposed changes in other areas
of school policy.
Poor Appearance Code
Gives Reader A Cause
Editor,
Since I am an apathetic stu-
dent, there exists an apparent in-
congruity in my own involvement
in the issue concerning the
abolishment of PBJC's "dress
code."
From an objective viewpoint,
surely anything that occurs on
our fine campus IS TRITE.
In face of national and world
problems, very little of earth
shaking nature ever erupts from
our out-of-date institution.
On a personal or subjective
level, however, a college such as
ours, which tends to work at the
cross-purpose of TRUE education
through many factors — including
the enforcement of a "dress
code," is simply revolting.
Its very nature demands action
and change from the conscien-
tious student.
I have become involved because
I attend a college which confuses
the ability to learn with an indi-
vidual's freedom of choice.
PBJC's administration has at-
tempted to impose the morality
and standards of years ago upon
an educational institution that ex-
ists in 1968.
Well, they have apparently
achieved what was wanted; an
apathetic student body, a token
student 'government representing
only a few, and a generally stag-
nant state of affairs on campus.
Presently there is a petition
containing more than 1,100 signa-
tures before the SGA. It is a pe-
tition calling for the change in
the rather notorious "dress code"
and will serve a dual purpose.
First, it will test the Student
Government to see if it represents
the students or the administra-
tion.
Secondly, the student body will
finally know whether or not ac-
tion is resultant of "going through
the right channels" (as is urged
BY the administration), or if
maybe apathy isn't truly justifi-
able.
L. Sippreil
Sophomore
To those students who are not
in sympathy with the proposed
changes:
This petition falls under the
heading of freedom of expression,
or, "I do not agree with what you
have to say, but I will defend to
the death your right to say it.'
To the students in favor of this
petition:
You are the ones who realize
that changes in the dress code
LITTLE MAN_

will not result in. changes in &
minds of the students, and fit
these changes, in most cases, vZ
not be carried to -fee extreme.
With sq many students in fava
of the changes in the dress cafe
it is inconceivable that m
changes he turned down wbotj

ulty senates.

A child's laughter is a welcome
sound to anyone's ears, but this
laughter holds a special connota-
tion in the holiday season which
is now approaching.
However, many children will
not be laughing this year.
But with the help of the K-ette
Club a little joy may be brought
to the migrant children of Palm
Beach County.
Each year the girls are host-
esses for a party to 'benefit those
less fortunate than themselves.
The First Baptist Church of
Hypoluxo is to host this annual
party for thirty -five children,
ranging in age from 6 through
11.
The children will decorate their
own tree with the help of the
K-ettes and the men of Circle K.
Decorations are provided and the
tree will take on whatever shape
the youngsters desire.
No Christmas party is official
without hte visit of Old Saint
Nick, and the Circle K. Club has
assured he will arrive.
The sound of children's laughter
is only the outward expression of
joy, but the enjoyment of a bit
of Christmas these less fortunate
f
children might not otherwise fcfj
had can only be expressed f
their own hearts. j

Drake's Revenge
Fouls Lead To Defeat
Drake got revenge on their
home court for an earlier loss
by defeating the Pacers 85-80 last
weekend.
The game was riddled with
fouls and floor mistakes.
PBJC jumped into an early 5-0
Jead and then tost it on one buck-
et by Drake and four foul shots.
Remarkably, whenever ifee Pac-
ers got within five points of
Drake, they were called for a
foul or a violation.
The Pacers had the most tech-
nical fouls called on them in their
bask etball career.
Receiving the technicals were
Jim Ley, for raising his hand af-
ter a foul had been called on Earl
Findley, Jim Jackson, for raising
two hands when a foul was called
on him and Herman Jordan for
shoving.
Coach Tanner was confined to
his bench early in the first quar-
ter, and, in front of the crowd,
was ordered to sit and not get up
Laier in the game, while the
Pacers were rooting for the team
and upset with the official's calls,
the official came over to the Pac-
er bench and stated, "If you keep
on yelling, I'll clear the bench
and then you will have something
to yell about."
Greg Duda led the scoring for
Drake with forty points.
Duda also made a five point
play which is rare in basketball.
He made a layup, was fouled
after the shot, received a one-on-
one situation, and a technical foul
shot.
He made all three foul shots,
received the ball in bounds, and
then- proceeded to make another
bucket which gave Drake a sev-
en point lead.
The Pacers, behind Earl Find-
ley with twenty-two points and
thirteen rebounds, and Jim Ley
with twenty points and twelve
rebounds, could not catch the
Drake Demons after the opening
minutes.
Earl Findley, Jim Jackson, and
Charlie "Butch" Dukes all fouled
out, while Jim Ley and several
others had four fouls on them
early in the second half.
Palm Beach will open its drive
for the Division IV Championship
Saturday night against last years
champion, Miami Dade-North.

JC Football Proves Impractical
Finances Sited As Main Reason
Florida is a fast-growing state
east of the Mississippi River, and
soon the four major four-year in-
stitutions in Florida will be hard-
pressed and overloaded.
Football is the fastest-growing
and most exciting game today.
Smith agrees that in maybe five
years PBJC will have football,
and a league comprised of 10 or
more other junior colleges. Surely
our athletic department is all for
it, but neither our budget nor any
other JC's budget is ready for a
football program at this time.

'Comber Sports Editor
A goal line stand by a majority
of Florida, junior colleges has
halted the progress of a recent
petition concerning junior college
football.
The petition, drafted by Miami
Dade North, (which has an en-
rollment of 20,000) dealt with the
feasability of including football
in the FJCC program.
The issue was heavily defeated.
According to Athletic Director,
Ray Daugherty, the Florida Con-
stitution states, "No intercolle-
giate football is to be played in
Junior Colleges of Florida." How-
ever this ruling can be changed
through legislation. PBJC Student
Government President Rodney
Smith, also opposed the issue.
"The basic reason is that it has
not been proven how we can sup-
port such a program. The major
reason for not having a football
team, is cost.
First, each player would re-
quire approximately $150. - $300.
of equipment.
Second, a stadium with all need-
ed and required facilities would
be needed.
Then there are travel expenses,
team equipment and a coaching
staff.
Smith also pointed out, "How
many people would still attend
this institution if the activity fee
were raised from $15 to say
$200?"
Smith feels that a football pro-
gram here would be the best
thing that could ever happen.
This college has the worst stu-
dent apathy I have ever wit
nessed, I feel that football could
provide the kind of spirit this
institution needs.
Charlie Tate, head football
coach at the University of Miami,
said that - he wouldn't sign any
player smaller than 6'4" and 220
pounds: A logical place for him
to look would be Oklahoma, Tex-
as, or California.

(ACP) — Programs under the
first education act signed by
President Johnson are becoming
atrophied.
Shrinking funds for grants and
loans under the Higher Educa-
tion Facilities Act of 1963 mean
serious dislocations on the na-
tion's campuses.
Two years of deep cuts in the
U. S. Office of Education fa-
cilities grants and loans have
pared funds far below the
amounts needed to provide ade-
quate academic space to meet
burgeoning enrollments.
For many institutions the cut-
backs mean more years of crowd-
ed classrooms, inadequate li-
braries, increased student fees,
reluctantly raised admission
standards to ease the pressures
on space, faculty recruitment dif-
ficulties, curtailment of curricu-
lums, and inability to offer new
courses.
The Office of Education ex-
pects more of the same m fiscal
1970.

College Entrance Exams Biased;
Serves Institutions, Hot Students
The Beachcomber Sports Staff is in its final week ci
"Challenging the 'Comber." Since October 4, the 'Comber has
taken on seven opponents; Civitans, Alpha Phi, Phi Da Di,
Chi Sig, Circle K, SGA, and the Pacer coaching staff.
The Civitans won the weekly contest with a high of 65
points. Phi Da Di and the 'Comber finished second and third
respectively with 55 points eaoh.
Last week Phi Da Di won the playoff of the tournament
and now challenges the Civitans for the Tournament Cham-
pionship.
At the beginning of the year our sports staff made its
predictions on the final outcome of Florida pro and college
football.
The best of the picks was Florida State. We predicted
as they ended up, to have an 8-2 mark. Next is the Universitv
of Miami who finished with an average 5-5 season. We choss
them to go 7-3.
The Miami Dolphins still have one game to go. However
thus far this season they are 5-7-1 and have a chance to bet-j
ter our pick of 6-8.
Our final prognostication isn't to impressive. For tb;
University of Florida it was to be "The Year of the Gators'
and we chose them to go 9-1. But the injury plagued Gators
disappointed everyone and ended up with an also-ran recorf
of 6-3-1.

E OF THE PALM BEACH JUNIOR COLLEGE STUDENT
Lake Worth, Florida
Monday, January 20, 1969
(ACP) — The College Entrance
Examination Board appears
ready to concede that its admis-
sions testing program is geared
primarily to sarving institutions
of higher education and that, as
a result, a kind of imbalance ex-
ists between this service and the
individual needs of students who
want to continue their education
through high school.
But the board does not seem
prepared to make any radical de-
partures in its basic program of
aptitude and achievement tests.
Marina Inn Hosts
Lafayette Singers
The Lafayette Men's Glee Club
is to be the guest of the Marina
Inn, formerly the George Wash-
ington Hotel, at a -welcoming
party.
The Glee Club is to be fea-
tured, along with the Palm Beach
Philharmonic Orchestra, as part
of The Festival of Christmas Mu-
sk at the -West Palm Beach Audi-
torium, Saturday, December 21
at 8:30 p.m.
The closed party, designed to
acquaint the men with the Palm
Beaches, is a joint service proj-
ect of the "campus' woman's so-
cial clubs, the K-ette Club, and
the Civinettes.
Bash-A-Car
During .finals, frustrations
and hostilities run high among
students. This term why keep
these emotions pent up? Take
part in the Circle K Car Bash,
to be held in the parking lot
by the gym
The Car Bash lasts from
Dec. J3 - 18.
The pnce of one swing is 25
cents Circle K will provide
the car and the sledge ham-
mer.
Its emphasis more likely will be
on offering additional services to
help students make more enlight-
ened judgments about themselves
and the educational institutions
they might attend.
This was the impression left
at the board's annual meeting
by its president, Richard Pear-
son, and by the chairman and
vice-chairman of its commis-
sion on tests.
The twenty-one member com-
mission was appointed early in
1967 to conduct a "broad review"
of the theory and practice of the
College Board's testing program.
It was charged with gathering
"evidence of the need for change"
and deciding what examinations
might be needed in the future.
Nevertheless, in his annual re-
port to the College Board, Mr.
Pearson gave a personal assess-
ment of where the commission
may go. His remarks hinted at a
possible framework for resolving
the present impasse within the
commission.

Senate Prexy's Status
Remains In Question
by Sam Pepper
'Comber Editor-in-Chief
Failure to maintain a 2.2 grade
point average has led to contro-
versey concerning the removal of
SGA Vice President Jack Mc-
Laughlin-
According to an amendment
passed by the students in the last
senate election an elected execu-
tive officer must "have a 2.4
average upon applying and main-
tain a 2.2."
McLaughlin, however, con-
tends that since he was elected
before the law was passed he
is not subject to its jurisdic-
tion and therefore is still the
legal vice president-
He further pointed out that nei-
ther the recently passed amend-

ment nor the constitution states
when the ruling will officially
become effective.
The SGA Judicial Department
is slated to convene sometime
this week in an attempt to reach
a decision concerning the issue.
Constitutional restrictions also
left their toll in the SGA Senate.
Sophomore Senators Lynn Mc-
Gilvray and Larry Krasulak
were removed from their seats
as they failed to complete 12
semester hours last fall term.
Krasulak's former position of
Senate Pro Tern was Riled by
Allan Hamlin, who was elected
during Thursday's senate meet-
ing.
Bruce Allen, Chairman of the
Leadership and Service Board,
further added that three appli-
cants for the vacated seats will
be brought before the Senate
Thursday for confirmation.
President Rodney Smith also
announced Thursday, his selec-
tions for the recently vacated po-
sitions in executive cabinet.
According to Smith, Darlene
Ashdown will assume the duties
of the beautification chairman
and Cliff Burdette working along
with Bill Wilkerson take over the
Spirit and Traditions Board.
Causes Of The 'Lingering' Line
Linked To A Number Of Factors
by Craig Heyl
'Comber Associate Editor
No matter what the process is,
institutional or otherwise, when-
ever there is a slow down of some
sort, some complaining always
seems to evolve.
Such was the case outside the
Old Library, where those who had
hoped to make some kind of
schedule change encountered the
"lingering line."
When asked what the reason
for the length of the line was,
Mr. Laurence Mayfield, Regis-
trar said, "It's really hard to
put your finger on one particu-
lar reason. However there were
some contributing factors."
Mayfield added that there were
a number of students who had to
be re-scheduled because of their
particular class section being can-
celled.
"Dr. Graham had to cancel
twenty sections of various classes
because the number of students
in each of these classes was min-
imal, anywhere from one to ten."
These students had to be re-
scheduled into existing sections
of that particular class and some-
times that meant re-scheduling
completely.
If there had been on the av-
erage of five students per class
for each of these twenty classes,
that would have placed at least
one hundred people in the line
for this reason alone, stated
Mayfield.
"Then there were some who had
failed a pro-requisite and had to
repeat it," he continued.
"For example, let's say a stu-
dent had taken Biology 101 in
the Fall Semester and had been
scheduled for Biology 102 in the
Winter Semester. If he failed the
101 course he had to be re-sched-
uled so he could take it again."
Another reason mentioned by
Mayfield was that any student
that had been on academic pro-
bation in the previous semester
and had achieved his grade point
average which removed him from
probation was in line to add addi-
tional hours.
"Then again on the opposite
end of the scale, there were
forty-two students that were put
on probation from the Fall Se-
mester and were called in and
had to drop classes and limit
his class load to twelve hours."
"You see, all these students
with their various Teasons start
to add up," he added.
But still another factor entered
into the delay.
"There were many students who
had 'dropped and added' courses
and had re-scheduled their added
course right over an existing
course on their "parent" sched-
ule. As a student, I think I would
find it rather difficult to be in
two classes at the same time,"
Mayfield remarked.
This fault was contributed to
the student.
On his regular registration
days, a student might have re-
jected his pre-planned schedule
(the purple one), for the reason
of just adding one course. He then
added the class he desired with-
out taking time to study his
schedule.
For example, a student had re-
jected his purple schedule, made
available to him in early 'Decem-
ber, for the reason of adding a
course.
Then, he registers on his stated
registration day, with the addi-
tion made, and fails to study his
schedule when it is handed to
him. He thinks it appears to be in
order and then finds out later,
when he attends classes or studies
it more carefully, that he is
scheduled for another class the
same time and the same day.
When asked what can cause
this error, Mayfield said, "Hu-
man error, a machine will do
exactly what you tell it to do.
Most probably an error made by
the counselor.
"I believe we're being demo-
cratic. This system was origi-
nally set up to contend with broad
errors and conflicts," Mayfield
related.
When asked if he was in fa-
vor of the "Drop and Add Week,"
the registrar stated, "Yes. I
think it's fine, it's the fairest
way. Mistakes are going to be
made, and they have to be cor-
rected,"
He had one piece of advice
to offer to the students, "If
you're going to 'Drop and Add,'
just schedule one class per hour,
make sure you study your
schedule before you accept it."
Several years ago there used to
be a saying around campus, "If
you can survive registration, you
can graduate." Maybe a new
one should take its place, "You
can survive 'Drop and Add Week'
if you pay attention."
Gilt Pax Distribution
Comes Again To PBJC
by Peggy Cullen
'Climber Stuff Writer
Free distribution of gift pax
has been renewed here for the
first time in nearly three years.
This program was discontinued
following a ruling based on a
related county policy, by the
PBJC Administrative Council.
Gift pax rations were recently
permitted because, as of Jan. 1,
1969, Palm Beach Junior College
was declared no longer directly
guided by the Palm Beach County
Board of Public Instruction.
"Our newly developed ad-
visory board is somewhat more
liberal in determining what is
called advertising," declared
Mr. Paul J. Glenn, Dean of Stu-
dent Personnel.
"I am in favor of anything ad-
vantageous to our students so if
this program is available in the
future, I hope it is continued
here," Dean Glenn added.
Approximately 3,000 gift pax
were distributed by volunteer
students on Jan. 8, 9, 10, and 13,
in the south end of the SAC
Lounge. This offer was also
made available to night stu-
dents.
The pax which reached nearly
1,900 college campuses through-
out the country contained nation-
ally known grooming products
and free offers.

A Question Of Concern
The vagueness of a recently passed SGA Constitutional
Amendment has led to the tentative dismissal (decision pend-
ing result of Judicial Department meeting) of Vice President
Jack McLaughlin.
The amendment states that an executive officer of SGA
must maintain an accumulative average of a 2.2 to remain
in office.
However, this ruling was not passed until after McLaugh-
lin had been elected to his position of vice president, and
therefore should in no way be of concern to his term in office.
The amendment as it was placed on the ballot, also makes
no statement as to when this law will officially take effect.
Since no such provision was stated it has to be assumed
that the law becomes effective next year when it is incorpo-
rated into the student handbook.
We feel the Judicial Department should carefully examine
these extremely important factors before reaching any decision
concerning this case.
Chamber Theatre Depicts
Evil Of Machine Control
by David Eunice
'Comber Staff Writer
The inhumanness of machine
control was effectively presented
in the recent PBJC Chamber
Theatre production of George Or-
well's "1984."
The production stayed close to
the text of the prose-fiction novel,
with only one major deviation;
the character of O'Brien as
played by King Morrison.
Although the new casting of
' O'Brien, a Negro may have giv-
en the play a contemporary
mood, it lost more in the
authoritative flavor by the
strength of the actor -inter-
preter's personality.
The novel was adapted for the
stage by Josh Crane, who direct-
ed the action in two ways; by
the use of pantonine and by past

tense references of the actor-
interpretors.
Both method and amount:
worked well with the simplicity
of the stage design to make it
easy for the audience to exer-
cise their imagination, and to
maintain the feeling that "Big
Brother" is watching.
Although the play was very in-
teresting, some of the strong
emotion was lost with the cast-
ing of O'Brien.
The intellectual aspect of the
totalitarian party rule was forced
to override the emotional effect
Crane had hoped to achieve.
Martin Tischier and Eliza-
beth Alexander gave a fine per-
formance in their lead roles as
Winston and Julia. The sup-
porting interpreters were equal-
ly good in their respective
parts.
Laura Bradford and Linda Gold
played dual roles as a chorus
and minor characters.
Richard Sheffield supplied the
off-stage voice of "Big Brother,"
and Charles Mayes and Carol
Gravlin narrated the story.
Overcoming the newness of
the Chamber Theatre style may
present a problem to some of
the viewers, but once the new
style is accepted the audience
may agree that this is an ef-
" fective way to present prose-
fiction novels in a manner
which is both understandable
and entertaining.
The Chamber Theatre was
formed at Northwestern Univer-
sity by Robert Breen about ten
years ago.
This was the first time it was
used in this area, but it is ex-
peoted that Crane will employ
it once again next year in a PB-
JC production.
Tribute Extended To Astronauts
By Campus Space Program Expert
January 20, 1969 Page 3
PBJC Folk Music Festival
David G. Denault
Space News Editor
Working in the Space News
media since 1965 with the Titus-
ville Cocoa Courier-News and with
radio news it gives me a great
deal of pleasure to write this
column for the Beachcomber,
while attending PBJC, for a de-
gree in education.
The purpose of this column is
to bring the students of PBJC
closer to the space program, with
personal comments and editorials
concerning America's space flight
program.
My background includes report-
ing for the space flight programs
and launches of today, among
them, the Pegasus program, the
Tiros program, Gemini flights, in-
cluding the Gemini IV Flight of
Ed White Jr., the first man to
walk in outer space, and the first
flight in the Apollo program
(Apollo 7).
My total news hours covering
the space launches totals over
200 hours of reporting.
I would like to dedicate this
first column to the heroic astro-
nauts of the Apollo 8 flight, Air
Force Col. Frank Borman, Navy
Capt. James Lovell Jr. and Air
Force Lt. Col. William Anders.
Borman, Lovell, and Anders be-
came the first men to fly around
another planet or satellite when
they orbited the moon 10 times
Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day as part of their perfect six-
day trip into space.
The Apollo astronauts were vis-
iting Ft. Lauderdale for a private
reception and dinner on Satur-
day Jan. 11 at Pier 66 Restau-
rant. Many newsmen and peo-
ple, perhaps 75 in number, ga-
thered with the rain pelting down
outside, for interviews, auto-
graphs, a touch or handshake.
I asked about the article from
Houston about women objecting
to prayers and scriptures in outer
space, Borman commented, "It
was sincere and the most mean-
ingful thing we could do." Asked
about the correspondence he had
received since he was back, Bor-
man said he had about eight tons
he had not opened as yet.
They also attended the Super
Bowl Game, and Anders predict-
ed the Jets "could do it." Both
Anders older sons Frederick 17,
and Edwin 15, were ballboys.
If any faculty or students have
questions about the space pro-
gram or about astronauts please
Car Inspection
Enforced At PBJC
A $25 to $500 fine will be levied
to any students who have not had
their vehicles inspected.
Officer Coburn of the Highway
Patrol said all vehicles that do
not have inspection stickers on
them will be issued a correction
card. This gives the student 48
hours in which to have his car
inspected.
If, at the end of 48 hours the
student has not had his car in-
spected, a fine will be levied.
Second violations will result in
the towing away of the vehicle.

Convention Brings Out
r
New Trend In Speech
by Jacquie Boiling
•Comber Staff Writer
Area students could only wish
vainly for some snowy weather
during the recent 'holiday, but
for Mr. Josh Crane, director of
Forensics, and his wife, the sunny
ensics, and his wife, the sunny
south was by far the best.
Crane and his wife boarded
a northern-bound plane on De-
cember 27.
Destination— Chicago, Illinois.
Purpose— To attend the Nation-
al Convention of Speech Teachers
from colleges and universities all
over the United States.
Emotion — "I was afraid I
was going to be lost m a sea of
PHDs because of the greatness
and magnitude of the convention
participants," remarked Crane.
"However, such was not the
case. The 1,200 speech enthusi-
asts from all over the nation
served to make this the most
alive and stimulating conven-
tion I have ever attended."
The most exciting realization
of the convention was the fact
that speech as a mode of com-
munications is undergoing a vast
change."
Speech is now considered as a
social force. This is because of
the recent campus reactions to
academic freedom.
The big question on campuses
across the country is concern-
ing who can and cannot come
onto a campus to speak.
Along this line there is a move
away from the old-fashioned his-
torical research associated with
the speech process and towards
the more practical application of
it.
This new trend became appar-
ent in the many caucas sessions
that Crane attended.
"I tried to attend different in-
terest group programs — drama,
forensics, oral interpretation, and
undergraduate speech so that I
could bring back information to
benefit the entire PBJC Speech
Department."
"I am making out a summary
sheet of the convention for the
other speech instructors in my
department."
Crane attended workshops on
topics including the chamber
theatre, interpretation, commun-
ication, freedom of speech, and
research and studies in' under-
graduate speech.
"In these sessions I received the
opportunity to see and hear the
greats in the world of speech."
"These men and women who
are the authors of our many au-
thoritative textbooks, are experts
in the communication field and it
was fascinating to meet them."
Fascinating also, was the blan-
ket of snow which covered the
landscape of the 'Windy City.'
"The snow was just beautiful.
It fell in flurries just like one sees
in pictures. Yet, nothing can be
picture-perfect because we almost
froze to death."

Plans for the second annual folk
music festival at Palm Beach
Junior College, Friday, at 8 p.m.
in the college auditorium, speak
eloquently of the success of the
first event last February.
The number of acts has in-
creased from seven to 10, the
number of possible spectators in-
creased from 'the Student Activ-
ity Center's 200 to the 550 of the
auditorium, and the sponsorship
changed from one individual, Lar-
ry Winter, to a club, Circle K.
In addition to these results,
which might be expected from a
packed house and enthusiastic ap-
plause, one of the two headline
acts this year owes its existence
to last year's festival.
The Wanderers, now well
enough known to have had a
successful tour up the east coast
to Canada and back, were
formed from two groups which
met for the first time during
last year's festival.
The new group of four, Jim
Waters, Johnny Litterel, Gini
Knaub and Cindy Merrill were
instantly successful.
Sharing the spotlight as a head-
line act will be Sandra Thomas,
one of the biggest hits in the first
festival.
Sandra, from Delray Beach, is
the current Miss Galleon at PB-
JC, and has been starred at "al-
most every coffee house and folk
festival in Florida."
"Our performers are all local
and of college age," Winter
says. "They range from talent
that would already be classed
as professional, like Sandra and
the Wanderers, all the way
through all grades of semi-pro-
fessional and amateur ranks to
three performers who will be
introduced to the public for the
first time.
The three debuts will be by
Marlene Roughton and Patricia
Nagy, singers, and Bob Burgun,
who is "real good on the guitar,"
according to Winter.
Bill Snyder, a singer who writes
his own music, will be co-host
for the event with Bruce Allen,
with the two sharing emcee
duties.
The festival will feature two
other groups in addition to the
Wanderers.
Chris and Mike are Chris
Ferri and Mike Callahan, who
specialize in Kingston Folk.
The Pipe Dream, contemporary
folk singers, are Widget Blount,
Danny Sorden and Lee Plymp-
ton, III.
Two male singers complete the
program. Walt Comerford writes
his own music. Clay Jones sings
traditional folk songs.
In spite of increased costs this
year, tickets to the general pub-
lic will be only $1, Winter said.

Art Of Hiram Williams
Displayed On Campus
The works of Hiram Williams,
Professor of art at the Univer-
sity of Florida, are being - dis-
played in the lobby of the Hu-
manities building.
The exhibit is part of a series
of shows of contemporary Amer-
ican artists being sponsored by
the Art Department and by the
Art Club.
The most intriguing painting
in the show is "Lips." It is a
parody of "Playboy's" empha-
sis on sex, done as if lips were
on a wide screen.
The exhibit will last through the
month of January.
Williams has paintings hung in
such gallerys as the Ringling
Bros. Museum, The Pennsylvania
Academy of Art, and the Museum
of Modern Art among others.
Williams has been honored in
Who's Who in America, Who's
Who in American Art, and in the
Archives of American Art.

Pacers Perplexed By Fourth - Quarter;
Always Defeated In Last Period Surge
by Tom Sherman
■Comber Sports Editor
The Pacer's basketball team
has been playing their games
lately like that of the fable "The
Tortoise and The Hare."
It appears that the Pacers start
their games in the format of the
Hare— taking an early lead, and
maintaining it through the bulk
of the contest until the latter part
of the fourth period.
To substantiate this, in the
final stanza of the Miami-Dade
North game, PBJC saw a thir-
teen-point lead dwindle and end
in a tie at the end of regula-
tion play. In the overtime peri-
od the Pacers stayed within two
points of their opponents until
the final 10 seconds — and lost
81-79.
In the Lake City game, they
obliterated another thirteen-point
lead and went down in defeat 68-
57.
Coach Jim Tanner commented
that he hadn't been able to de-
PACER SCORING ACE EARL FINDLEY . ,
. . . Leads team in scoring and rebounding
tect the reason for his team's
fourth - quarter downfall. "I
don't know what it is," said
Tanner. "We're in the best phys-
ical condition we can get, so we
can't be completely worn out."
Tanner also said that he
was well set on defense. "We
have three basic patterns against
a man-to-man offense as well as
three against a zone. In addition
to them we also have a set-up
against a press."
Tanner also said that he
planned to stay with his present
game plan because he feels the
players can get the job done bet-
ter with a rnan-to-man game.
Prior to Saturday night's en-
counter with Indian River, Earl
Findley was the Pacer's leading
scorer with a 18.0 average and
.also leads in rebounds with 215
for an average of 16.5 per game.
It seems that until some drastic
change comes over the Pacers,
the Tortoise will be winning more
games than it ever has.

Judicial Department Rules
McLaughlin Restored As Senate President
by Sam Pepper
'Comber Editor-in-Chief
SGA Vice President Jack Mc-
Laughlin has been restored to his
duties of office due to an unani-
mous decision by the Judicial De-
partment, Thursday.
McLaughlin, who was relieved
of his position at the beginning
of the winter term because of his
inability to maintain a 2.2 grade
point average, questioned the jur-
isdiction of an amendment passed
by the SGA Senate and student
body after he had begun his term
in office.
The amendment increased the
grade point requirements of ex-
ecutive offfcers, by stating that
"they shall be required to have
a 2.4 average upon applying
and maintain a, 2.2.
Contending that the ruling did
not apply to him, McLaughlin
presented his case to the depart-
ment on the grounds of ex post
facto."
According to Dean Robert Moss,
a member of the judicial board,
the issue centered around two
questions, does the amendment
apply to McLaughlin, and if not
is the ruling that it replaced in
effect until a new slate of offi-
cers are elected.
McLaughlin also pointed out
in his presentation to the board,
that if he had applied with 2.3
average and maintained it
would he be removed from of-
fice on the premise that the re-
cently added addition to ithe
constitution states he must have
a 2.4 to seek office even though
when he applied a 2.3 average
was perfectly legal.
The board then raised the ques-
tion as to when did the amend-
ment actually take effect.
Since no date was specifically
mentioned in the amendment it-
self, the board reached a conclu-
sion that the law would take ef-
fect next March during the SGA
executive elections and current
officers would not be subjected
to its jurisdiction.

JC's On Edge Of Greatness.
Says Former Graduate Henderson
METROPOLITAN QUARTET - Musical Stars from the
Metropolitan Opera will present a musical program entitled
"Prom Vienna to Broadway" at Friday's assembly beginning
at 10:30 a.m.
by Craig Heyl
'Comber Associate Well tar
"The community 'colleges of the
state of Florida are on the edge
of greatness, but we have not yet
arrived."
Such were the opening remarks
of former graduate Dr. Lee
Henderson, who is now serving
as the Assistant Superintendent
for Community Colleges of the
State Department of Education.
Speaking on "The Junior College
of the Future," Dr. Henderson ad-
dressed his remarks to the faculty
of PBJC in the second of a se-
ries of twelve in-service pro-
grams.
The programs are devoted to
topics which appear to be of
the most interest to the junior
college teacher.
Upcoming Assembly To Feature
Metropolitan Musical Quartet
Continuing, Dr. Henderson
stated, "How we achieve this
greatness depends not just on
faculty, or not just on adminis-
trators, or not just on state gov-
ernment, but that it depends on
all of these, with each one doing
his part and working m harmony
with the others for the improve-
ment of the programs we offer
our students."
There has been a minimum of
student unrest in junior colleges
so far. Dr. Henderson points out.
He attributes this to the fact
that a junior college has been
traditionally concerned with
teaching and with the students,
rather than with research.
"We've been spared some of
the agonies of some of our uni-
versity colleagues."
Dr. Henderson also stated that
there is one message that comes
through loud and clear concern-
ing the current student rebellions.
"The students have brought one
thing to light that is very hard
to over look— that being, educa-
tional institutions exist to serve
the students."
"Yet often," continued the As-
sistant Superintendent, "I'm
afraid our policies, and procedures
and our programs have been de-
veloped on the basis of the con-
venience and the standards and
the desires of the faculty and ad-
ministration without really giving
full consideration as to what ef-
fect this has on our students."
As to the question "What will
the community college of the
future be like," Dr. Henderson
stated, "I'm convinced it will
not be anything like the institu-
tion that we know today."
"The junior college will become
a developmental college.
Doctor Henderson continued to
say that the faculty and adminis-
trators will be concerned with
the development of the individual.
"If we continue to teach the
subject matter and ignore the re-
alities of the student's life and
the student's social system of the
college, we are being hopelessly
naive."

A Happy Medium
The introduction of a bill before the SGA senate that
.would allocate a total of $200 to Circle-K Club in order for
them to attend their annual district convention has created
a rift of controversy among senators.
Both factions have presented valid and convincing argu-
ments as to why their cause or side is justified.
The main objection to the bill stems from the fact that
SGA has at present an extremely depleated budget. Their
opposition answers, the money should be spent completely,
it belongs to the students who are enrolled now.
It appears that a simple compromise may be the answer.
That being, rewrite the bill in the form of loan with an
option, that the club pay it back in the event SGA funds are
completely consumed at the end of the year.
This action would encourage the spend-it-all faction to
become conservative and the what-happens-when-it's-gone
group to become a little more liberal, thus the proverbial
happy medium is struck.
LARRY KRASULAK
The SGA Senate - WHY?
According to the SGA constitution the purpose of the
senate is to introduce, discuss and pass or reject laws, bills,
resolutions and amendments to the constitution.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of legislation which
grinds its way through the senate represents the interest of
specific clubs, organizations and social groups, otherwise"
called the Establishment!
Is this right? Yes -providing that the same amount of
effort is devoted by the senate to the interest and mutual
benefit of the entire campus I
Obviously, too many senators 'are inclined to represent
only the Establishment. Where is the senator who represents
PBJC? Is he non-existent? Apparently so, especially if one
checks tie current calendar of pending legislation!
This legislation would lead as a list of Establishment
requests, ranging in scope from monies for club delegates to
attend conventions to budgetary adjustments for social events!
Is the senate to blame? Is the Establishment to blame?
Yes-in the sense that the senate and the Establishment have
pursued their own selfish interest! No - when one realizes the
disinterest of the campus in SGA!
Without an active and vocal student body, the senate has
turned its ear to the loud and demanding mouth of the Estab-
lishment! The time is ripe for the senate to act and initiate
efforts to symbolize the aspirations and desires of the entire
campus!
This is why there is a senate! ! !
Voice Of The Students
Petitions, Praises And Pleas
To the Edtor:
I would like to address 'this let-
ter to the Student Body of Palm
Beach Junior College.
The purpose of this letter is to
petition and inform the Student
Body in reference to the Campus
Food Service in our cafeteria.
As a representative of SGA and
a member of the Cafeteria Com-
mittee it has been the intention
of this committee to give con-
structive criticism to the new
cafeteria service and to inform
the Student Body of these com-
mittee meetings.
Before the close of the Fall
term a letter was submitted to
the Editor of the Beachcomber
concerning this matter and ask-
ing the Student Body for any
constructive criticism that they
might have to offer the cafeteria
service.
Unfortunately no response was
observed by any of the SGA
members so it was assumed that
the Student Body in general was
pleased with the new manage-
ment.
Now that the Winter term has
begun it seems that the "old
rumors" of poor service have
once again arisen to haunt the
Cafeteria service.
One of the latest rumors is that
that "Campus Food Services is
as bad as the Prophet Company
at its lowest ebb." This rumor
is the worst judgment of the
cafeteria service yet
'Some of the changes brought
about by the Campus Food Serv-
ices are the reopening of the
Snack Bar, the service of various
flavors of (fresh ice cream, milk
shakes made to order, a number
of sundaes, freshly cooked and
wrapped hamburgers and hotdogs,
hot foods, a greater selection of
hot foods, and a number of other
changes too numerous to print
In addition the cafeteria furni-
ture has been changed to better
accommodate the Student Body,
re-locating all (the clubs into the
Student Activity Lounge, and all
this has been done for the gen-
eral convenience and welfare of
the Student Body.
But the rumors of dissatisfac-
tion are still lingering on campus.
At present the best way to de-
stroy the entire Foods System for
PBJC is to continue these false
rumors, or rumors that don't
bear any facts to substantiate
them.
Deadline Is Set
For Media Entries
The MEDIA literary magazine
has announced its deadline for
submitting 'poetry and prose for
this year's issue.
Mr. Graham, advisor to the
magazine, set Jan. 31 as the last
date to turn in material to his
office (AD-19)
Poems and particularly prose
may be entered by any PBJC
student.
Cash prizes for the most out-
standing poems and pieces of
prose, as well as the most original
art work are to be given bv the
MEDIA.
The MEDIA plans to come out
in April according to Mr. Gra-
ham who also stated that "the
material is of a muc h higher
quality than that of previous
years, and there is a great deal
more interest shown by the stu-
dent body as a whole."
This letter has been submitted
not only to inform the students,
but also to inform the students
that we may well be putting an
end to any food service on the
PBJC campus.
Every effort has been made by
both the Campus Food Services,
the Administration, and SGA, to
achieve better accommodations
for- both the STUDENTS and the
FACULTY.
The best solution toward even
better food and service is through
your PATRONAGE and improve-
ment SUGGESTIONS given to&l
ther the Campus Food Serwca

also 'be quite sophisticated in the
psychology of human develop-
ment, particularly among the
young adult years."
". . . Colleges will have as
many individual tutorials or sem-
inars, and as few lecture hall
classes as possible."
The information normally pre-
sented in class rooms and lec-
ture halls can be presented even
more efficiently and effectively
through some of the new educa-
tional media, such as the sem-
inar.
Another feature that can be.
looked forward to in the future
is that of increased student par-
ticipation in the educational pol-
icy making of the college.
"Students have insight into the
meaning of their educational ex-
periences," stated Henderson.
"This insight really ought to be
important to use in decision mak-
ing."
"There will be a wide democra-
tization of rule making and en-
forcement on the junior college
campus."
He added that administfet
would be well advised to a&f
this democratization with pi
grace, rather than as a resdi
ever more insistent student r
sure.
In conclusion, Doctor Heci
son stated that the improves
of the quality of human relfc
ships and efficient education
inseparable.

HiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiffiiiM
The Miami Pop Festival (Dec. 28-30), living up to the
legendary huzzahs of the Monterey happening of June, 1967,
will perhaps be significant largely because of the introduction
or "re-introduction" of several groups.
Triumphing as expected were known and respected
acts as Canned Heat, Procol Harum, Iron Butterfly, Paul
Butterfield, Jose Feliciano, Marvin Gaye, and Richie
Havens.
Wild, frenetic ovations (the kind that one senses person-
ally), however, were found going to this newer garde of mu-
sicians. First "discovery" status was awarded Saturday to
Pacific Gas and Electric, a blues-rock-gospel ensemble who
relied primarily on re-erating works and stylizations of previ-
ously successful groups. Originally scheduled for the first
day, PGE was invited to return both remaining days of the
fest.
Attaining recognition later Saturday evening was young
Canadian folksinger Joni Mitchell, author of "Both Sides
Now" popularized by Judy Collins. It would appear that Miss
Mitchell's acclaim came against venerable odds. Pitted oppo-
site Steppenwolf, the largest advertised attraction, she capti-
vated the sparse crowd who chose to remain at the "Flying
Stage" located in meadow-like grounds.
Steppenwolf, incidentally, for all of their extreme
arrogance and obvious display of superstar achievement,
proved to be the biggest disappointment of the entire
festival. Estimating that over 25,000 people claimed to
listen to their heavy rock, they failed to capture any
amount of a following— even with the inclusion of "The
Pusher," possibly their only redeeming attempt.
On Sunday afternoon, Three Dog Night, garnered en-
thusiastic response at the "Flower Stage" located at the
grandstand of Gulfstream Park. Doing a great deal of ecletic
improvisations of recognizeable hits, Three Dog Night is a
group to watch.
Possibly the most frenzied response of any audience was
that which experienced a Los Angeles-based group known
as Sweetwater. Forming and shaping slow melodic tones with
fusions of Oriental plans, Sweetwater built its first number to
a thrashing, pilednving performance.
Entitled "A Motherless Child," the song is a vehicle for
lead singer Nansi Nevins, who may well be the next addition
to the slow-growing number of superstars (notably Gracie
Slick and Janis Joplin).
Backing instrumentally are keyboard instruments,
congo drums, flue, and electric cello. Somehow all of it
worked. Just ask anyone who joined in standing to give
inspired ovations to a fantastic performance.
The group has current album "Sweetwater" on Reprise.
Don't be the last one to hear it. If you must, ask for it. It
is an experience.

Corporations Aided In Problems
With Inauguration Of New Class
An attempt by Palm Beach Jun-
ior College to help solve an edu-
cational problem for one corpor-
ation has led to a pilot class
"with many unusual features,"
according to Robert C Holzman,
chairman of PBJC's Business De-
partment.
The class, which meets Wednes-
day, Jan 29, 2- 30 to 4:30 p.m.
for' the first time, grew out
of discussions between Mrs. Mar-
tha A. Ambrosio of the PBJC
staff, and Warren M. Reed, vice
president of Vineyard Industnes,
Inc.
Reed, in charge of personnel
for Vineyard, which holds among
other interests the McDonald's
Hamburger franchise for central
Florida, revealed that plans for
expansion were being held back
by lack of supervisory personnel.
"We are ready to grow in
several different directions, both
in terms of new areas and in
terms of new lines of business,"
Reed said, "but we first have
to get the people we can grow
with."
First contacts with the college
were m search of graduates who
might grow into management, but
the new class is an attempt to
solve the problem in a more di-
rect way.
Six people already employed by
Vineyard will form the nucleus
of a class df supervisors, or em-
ployees slated to be supervisors,
in a 12-week course in Super-
visory Development.
Classes will not be lectures, but
will be informal discussions around
a conference .table, led principally
by Mrs. Ambrosio and Julio R.
Rive of the PBJC faculty but
utilizing others from the area.
"We will follow a definite
educational program," Mrs. Am-
brosio said. "The course is non-
credit as far as PBJC is con-
cerned, but will carry certifica-
tion from Michigan State. Text-
book and materials were devel-
oped by the American Hotel-
Motel Educational Institute."
"It is a sequential program,
and there are other courses which
could follow, leading to Industry
certification," Mrs Ambrosio
said.
The class will be open to other
persons who are in management
positions, or are slated for such
positions, but will be limited to
15 to preserve the conference
type of instruction.
"Cooperation with Vineyard
Industries has been excellent in
planning this course," Holzman
said. "They are paying all ex-
penses for their personnel, as
well as clearing the time for
them to study.
"We believe there are other in-
dustnes in the area with a need
for supervisory personnel, and
are ready to work with any who
wish to add college training to
their in-service training pro-
grams," Holzman said.
Registration cost for the course
is $12.50 and textbooks and other
materials will 'be about $20 Ad-
ditional information may be ob-
tained' from Mrs. Ambrosio at the
college.

Pocers Defeated 91-71
PBJC Fans Show Good Sportsmanship
by Tom Sherman
'Comber Sports Editor
The old adage "its possible to
shine in defeat" was vividly ap-
parent in the Pacers game
against IRJC.
Even though PBJC took it on
the nose again, they may have
possibly put forth one of 'their
best efforts of the season.
The Pacers, up for this game
more than any other of the sea-
son, played the nation's number
one scoring team shot for shot in
the early part of the first half.
Ten minutes had passed in
the contest and PBJC led &6.
But after that, the IRJC Pio-
neers seemed to have found
the range and racked up seven
quick points in a one minute
time span.
The brightest spot of the night
was the dazzling play of the Pio-
neers' Ruben Vance. The 6' 3"
freshman guard amazed everyone
as he poured in 28 points.
Many people feel that because
PBJC held their opponents to only
91 points, (50 points below their
average) they stalled throughout
the game. They did not. The Pac-
ers played a slower brand of ball,
which they should do more often;
they did not intentionally stall.
In any game certain players
have to be singled out for their
fine play. Against Indian River,

/or a change the Pacer hoop-
i«rs heard cheers of encourage-
ment coming from fans of more

'd no sooner finish a chant
then were drowned out by
avage sounds from the Pio-
crowd.
-respite the Division IV loss,
..ie Pacers did win something —
sportsmanship.
It was bad enough to hear
vulgar remarks from the Pio-
neer fans, let alone the dis-
gusting immature remarks dis-
played by IRJC coach Art Tolis.
During the course of the game
Tolis would yell "Hey Findley,
how many points have you got?
Shoot the ball Earl. Hey, Findley
four points that's all."
Then across the scorers table
Tolis blurted "Yea Tanner," and
looked at the scoreboard.
And toward the 'latter part of
■the second half, noticing his team
was not going to get 100 points
or better, he screamed at the
Pacer cagers, "Freeze the ball,
freeze the ball."
I also learned that at half-
time Tolis called Earl Findley
over to talk to him. Findley re-
jected, and Tolls went ahead
and told Mm "You're not going
to get your 18 points Findley."
Added to the boisterous re-
marks put forth by Tolis and his
followers was a ridiculous atti-
tude shown by a few of the IRJC
players.
Being as good as they are is
no excuse for acting as they did.
This included a little fiasco 'be-
tween IRJC's Doug Campbell and
PBJC's Henry Jordan and Charlie
Dukes.
Not only did the IRJC fans
show their ill-mannered ways
during the Januray 18 game,
but also displayed their igno-
rance a few weeks ago when
Coach Jim Tanner and the Pac-
er team scouted the IRJC-
Miami-Dade South game at Indi-
an River.
I learned from the team mem-
bers and Tanner that the parti-
san Pioneer crowd booed the
Pacer's when they entered the
gymnasium and chanted in uni-
son "Pacers go home," "Tanner
go home."
Yes, the pacers lost again, but
they won the highest honor be-
stowed on a school during a
game — sportsmanship.

The play of Warcecer Jakes,

A
A. An astonishing number of
people make a stupid and tragic
mistake. To put it simply, they
jump into careers without really
looking. The result— a 'dreary life
of frustration and anger.
Can this happen to you? Could

There are a great many serious

critical are the ones you ask your

'Antigone' And 'Royal Gambit'
Drama Dept. Announces Cast
by Peggy Cullen
•Comber Staff Writer
The pagentry of Tudor England
and the drama of Greek tragedy
are to be presented in two separ-
ate plays, as the Drama Depart-
ment presents its second produc-
tion of the academic year.
"Antigone," written by Jean
Anouith, is the modern adapta-
tion of Sophocles' ancient Greek
tragedy.
"Royal" Gambit," is a moral
tragic-comedy about the life of
Henry VIII and his six wives.
Both productions are to be

Bradford, Linda Gold, Gil Gor-
den, Ray Gross, Gig Kramer,
King Morrison, Marlene Rough-
ton, and Martin Tishler.
Student directors for the adap-
tion of the Greek tragedy are

A unique feature for this pres-
entation is the chorus, a sort of
narrator for the audience.
The chorus is played by Rich
Sheffield.
Mr. Frank Leahy is the direc-
tor for "Royal Gambit," while
the student director is Bob Zaun.
Laura Lee Athey, Bobbie
Chulli, Peggy Joyner, Connie

Bible Not Up To Date
States Lecturer, Cern
by Sandra Thomas
'Comber Staff Writer
"Improving thought" was the
main idea expressed by Jules
Cern, C. S., in his lecture Tues-
day afternoon entitled "Instant
Help."
According to Cern every man
has ithe capacity to think, but
he usually doesn't raise his
thoughts high enough. He lets dis-
couragement and fears drag him
down when he should realize that
he is capable of attaining heights
of existence never dreamed of,
Man is not physical but spiritual
and his mind is the all powerful
part of the human being and it
can rule over everything because
it has the power of infinite truth,
spirit, and intelligence.
Cern protested the accusation
that the Bible is not up-to-date.
He feels that it is very applicable
to our everyday life, and is an
illustration of the power of man's
mind over matter.
The concept of "God" in Chris-
tian Science takes on a new vis-
age of an infinite spirit of truth,
love, mind, soul, and principle.
This spirit is all in all and occu-
pies all space.
Individualism is a fantastic at-
tribute and advocated highly by
Cern. "Why not be a leader?"
he questioned, then added, "The
crowd loves to follow; why not
be a leader, instead of a follow-
er, even if only one person fol-
lows, or even none."
Any interested students in these
concepts may attend Christian
Science meetings on campus
where these ideas are discussed
informally, every Friday morning
at 7 A.M. in Room 22 of the Tech-
nical Building.

man once said, "What we have here is a

With the advent of the winter term and the transplant
of social clubs from the cafeteria to the SAC Lounge, the
garbage accumulation situation in the lounge has gone from
bad to worse.
Not only has there been a collection of trash such as
paper plates, paper cups and napkins, but there has also
been an overwhelming gathering of trays, plates and silver-
ware.
It seems that a logical solution to this problem would be
to harness the energy of the social and service club
pledges, dispense with some of the more unproductive tasks
they are required to perform, and have them keep the area
around their club table clean.

Voice Of The Students
Code Controversy And Courfesy
Dear Editor:
I should like to question the
validity of student dispute against
the existing dress code.
The factors inhibiting the codes
are intrinsicaHy involved prin-
ciples of societal obligation, the
function of a junior college in the
community, and personal integ-
rity.
I really cannot sympathize with
some of the prevalent ideas of
the youth of today. Within his
grasp are timely experiences as
well as traditional ones, and he
is still discontented. He seeks in-
stead faster drugs, sex, and
thrills. His music is character-
ized by speed and an interpreta-
tion of morals unknown to for-
mer generations Why are these
resources not utilized in more
profitable capacities?
The only legitimate and sound-
ly definite objection I have wit-
nessed has been the denial of
slacks or shorts as feminine ap-
parel. Previously I have seen
male preferences turn towards the
skirt anyway. This is certainly
not a case of feminine rebellion.
The role of a junior college in
the community is an essential and
now considered inalienable right
in the development of this youth.
It is an opportunity for growth
and conception of ideals neces-
sary for entrance into the larger
society of which all must even-
tually accept his part. This
is a mature responsibility essen-
tial for a coexistence of man-
kind. Dropouts of this smaller
campus society are likely can-
didates for lives of irresponsibil-
ity.
Granted, the administration
does reach an all high of idiocy
when a student is turned away
from registration because he is
dressed in sports attire for con-
venience. However, this is their
mistake, and it is no cause for
an all out reprisal of dungarees
and long hair.
Basic elements of dress are
granted each individual for ex-
pression. His variations are nec-
essary personality expressions,
if done with a mature attitude and
sense of responsibility.
There are many unfortunate
conditions existing today over
which the youth has no control.
But is a mature rebellion found
in boots and bell bottoms?
The college, as an important
distinctively American opportu-
nity not found in all parts of the
world, also has a responsibility
as such a representative entity.
Standards of dress and personal
morals should be scrupulously
guarded and developed at this
stage.
There is no necessity for a stu-
dent and administrative coopera-
tion, these codes should be a spon-
taneous expression of the student
accepting his .obligations to the
society of which he is the ele-
ment.

Dear Editor:
Civinettes would like to bring
it to your attention that the priv-
iledge of putting advertisements
on columns on campus is being
abused.
When five or six posters appear
on one column, none of the or-
ganizations profit.
On the other hand, tearing down
current signs isn't fair to the peo-
ple who took pains to put them
up. It might also cause otheFs
to do the same.
If all organizations would re-
arrange the other 'signs already
up and then put theirs up, peace
might be kept.
In addition, too many signs, like
one on every column, can we
do it and ruin the effect.
We suggest therefore, that &
organizations on campus taL „
tice and observe simple courts
or that 'some regulatory actios k
taken.

A real bummer. What a down. Nothing happened
There was no licentiousness witnessed to develop into

Unaccountably, I was reflecting on the values oft

President Osceola Cites Tales
Of Seminole Reservation life
by Suzanne Lash
*Comber «t&« Writer
President Joe Dan Osceola,
speaking before Mr. Lawrence
Tuttle's Social Problems class,
on Jan. 21, stressed the below
standard conditions in which his
tribe, the Seminoles, live.
"Indians 'should protest a little
more," he said, citing housing
and education coupled with gen-
eral poverty as -their main prob-
lems.
The more than 1,000 Seminoles
In Florida, he said, are located
on isolated reservations of low
value where conditions parallel
those of the depression. He indi-
cated "that this Is the common fate
of all American Indians, victims
of government peace treaties.
"The Seminoles, however,"
he stated jproudly, "have nev-
er signed a peace treaty." They
are an independent group who
broke away from the Creek na-
tion when they signed a treaty
and were moved by the govern-
ment to an Oklahoma reserva-
tion.
This dissenting group, termed
the "wild people" or Seminoles
by the Creeks, migrated to Flor-
ida. There they were pushed into
the Glades by the U. S. Army
in the Seminole War around 1816.
The tribe today, Pres. Osceola
said, is mainly one of cattlemen.
"The Indians are natural cow-
boys," he jested. Their cattle in-
dustry has been thriving since the
depression.
The president stated that "too
much government money is
wasted before it gets to the Indi-
ans."
In 1949, according to Osceola,
the Seminoles filed a claim for
Hotel Management Prof.
Rive Joins Faculty
A man with experience in both
industry and education, Julio R.
Rive, is a new addition to the
Hotel and Motel Management
faculty at Palm Beach Junior
College this term.
Rive, a native of Puerto Rico,
made his deci-
sion to specialize
in hotel manage-
ment "almost by
accident."
"I had already
completed a B.
A. Degree in
Business Admin-
istration at the
University of Richmond, and was
in a bull session in the Air Force,
when someone mentioned the fact
that hotel administration was a
good field," he said.
"The more I thought about it,
the more I liked it. I had al-
ready done some work in hotels
to earn extra money during
college, and my mother had
been a home economics teacher,
so I knew something about ho-
tels and something about food."
Once having reached a decision,
Rive quickly earned- a Master's
E>egree from Florida State. "I
knew the field was right for me
when I started making all A's."
His first job was with Inter-
continental Hotels, a subsidiary
of Pan American World Airways,
traveling through South and Cen-
tral America as a training su-
pervisor in 1957.
He is co-author, with Dr.
Donald Lundberg, of a training
manual still in use by Inter-
continental Hotels.
After two more years with In-
tercontinental as assistant mana-
ger of the Verabero Oasis Hotel
in Cuba, he moved to the Allison
Hotel in Miami Beach where he
served in five different manage-
ment positions in as many years.
At the Allison, Rive met and
married a management employee,
the former Gail P. Hollis Of Can-
ada In early 1963, the couple ac-
cepted job offers in Puerto Rico,
where Rive was night manager of
the El San Juan, and his wife
assistant manager of the Da
Vinci, both in San Juan.
In August, 1963, Rive accept-
ed a challenge from the presi-
dent of Inter-American Univer-
sity of Puerto Rico to organize
a Hotel Management program
there.
Starting that fall with 10 stu-
dents, the program grew to 100
students this fall.
Rive, who has two children,
Joseph, 5, and Valerie, 16 months,
will be instructing classes in sales
and promotion in hotels and res-
taurants, legal problems, and a
basic introduction to the field this
term.

It does not include filled lands

ing, said, 'We may get one mil-

The Seminoles, though still
living on their reservations and
receiving little government aid,
are true Americans.
Indians are fighting in Vietnam,
Osceola claimed. And if the gov-
ernment does nothing to help
them, they will not protest for
fear of further damaging U. S.
prestige.
The tribes, President Osceola
explained, are continuing their
own way of life though very
gradually achieving the benefits
of modem American life.
The Seminoles will meet with
the Choctaws, Cherokees and
Miccouskee on Feb. 20-22 for a
Pow Wow at the Okallee Indian
Village in Hollywood. It Will be
open to the public.
Record Remains;
Attempt Fails
(AOP) Bill Donnell, freshman
from Duncan, Oklahoma, didn't
quite make the world record of
eating 56 hard-boiled eggs in one
hour in 'his attempt last Sunday.
Bill was the star attraction of
his pledge class function as he
stuffed down 41 hard-boiled eggs
in his alloted hour.
About 150 members, pledges
and dates of his fraternity
jammed into the large dining
room of his house to watch the
event. Even though he didn't
break the record he was ad-
mired for the attempt
"I thought I could 'break the
record," Bill commented after
his defeat. "I ate fifty of them
in high school after being chal-
lenged by some of my class-
mates. I guess I just can't eat
tike I used to."
Before the event Bill had only
one more comment. "I can't stand
hardboiled eggs "

The Floyd Patterson Of The PBJC Campus]
by Tom Sherman
O'liil'M - Sports Editor
A few years ago, former Heavy-
weight Boxing Champion Floyd
Patterson was shown on a tele-
vision special at his training camp
while preparing for his return
bout against Sonny Liston.
Coach Mel tageriun is no
championship boxer, nor is he
preparing for a championship
bout, but he is performing one
of his own training programs.
Every day Edgerton jogs ap-
proximately four and a half to
five miles on a course measur-
ing off along Lake Worth Road,
around by Lake Osborne, and
back through the park near
Lake Osborne.
Edgerton said that his main
purpose is to keep his weight
down. "I go steadily over the 200
pound mark. But when I work^
out, I can hold it down to around
190 to 195."
Along with jogging, Edgerton
does taper down on his food in-
take. "I try to maintain a light
breakfast and lunch and have a
normal supper," commented Ed-
gerton, "The weight part of at- is
probably more psychological."
The first year coach at PBJC
said that he works out at a maxi-
mum of a half an hour a day.
"I do it by time. If I exceed
this time period I lose my pur-
pose. I do, however, increase my
speed a little. Right now I run
about 25 minutes a day, working
my way up to 30 minutes."
"I'm not a health nut,"
stressed Edgerton, "I just do it
for my own personal satisfac-
tion. I feel better and can sleep
better after I do this."
Edgerton does no other exer-^
cise and never stops during a
workout. He also stressed that it
is the discipline that makes it
work.
"I don't do any other exer-
cises, except participate in sports,
but this sort of thing just has
to appeal to the individual."
Asked if he feels this kind of
exercise is better than weight-
lifting, isometrics, or any other
physical fitness program Edger-
ton replied, "I try to stay away
from advocating anything. It
works for me, and as I said be-
fore, it is a personal thing and
it is up to the individual."
Edgerton has been doing this
for almost two years. He is no
Floyd Patterson, but he does
keep himself in shape — for any-
thing 'that may come along.

Confusion Arises During Drop-Add Week
Baseball Prospects Uncertain;
Pitching Is Determining Factor
by Jim Scruggs
Voraher Staff Writer
In a game where the words
"pitching" and "success" are
synonomous, coach Mel .Edgerton
and his PBJC Pacers may have
dieir hands full in their bid for
honors Ms season on the base-
toll diamond.
"There is just not a great
abundance of pitchers," comment-
ed the first year coach — "espe-
eialiy for a team with a full
twenty-two game schedule."
As a result, every pitcher will
have to throw a great deal and
this could be a determining fac-
tor In die season's outcome.
Of the nineteen-rnan roster,
only three are returning. They are
Bill Rhoden, with the highest bat-
ting average of .260. Dan Bigbie,
wf»se average is .183, and Jim
Cariseo, a disappearing .174.
The bulk of last week's roster
includes: Bob Leeman, a six foot
195 ib. right handed freshman
from Ft. Lauderdale, freshman
James Aram who, at 6' 1", 160
lbs. will also be counted on for
infield duty, and rounding out the
South Florida trio Ron Hinners,
a 5' 11", 190 lbs. freshman pitch-
er.
From Jupiter High comes
right-handed pitcher Dale Shar-
rock. It has been said that the
$'?', 170 pound freshman can
throw as well or "better than
Pete Broberg from Palm Beach
High.
To compensate for his 5' 5". 110
pound frame, freshman outfielder
Jese Akvbo from Belle Glade has
blir.di.ig speed to aid him in his
bid for a starting positon.
When asked to comment on his
team's strong points, Edgerton
was quick to stress the Pacer's
defensive strength. "All positions
should be filled with experienced
personnel."
A glance at the schedule for
the 1969 season shows eleven
home games against an equal
number of away contests. Miami-
Dade North, Broward, and Indian
River are expected to offer the
Pacers the toughest competition.
BB Team Sinks Lower
In Ooze Of Defeat
by Tom Sherman
'Comber Sports Editor
This past week, parts of Cali-
fornia have been struck with ter-
rible rains resulting in mud
slides.
Since the holiday break, it
seems as though the Pacer bas-
ketball team has had its share
of rain resulting in their own
kind of mud slides — losing five
games in a row.
The last game the PBJC team
won was on January 4 against
Wesley College of Delaware.
Since that time the Pacers have
lost to Broward, Miami-Dade
South, Indian River, Edison,
and Miami-Dade North.
Last Wednesday the PBJC cag-
ers put forth possibly one of their
worst efforts of the season, ex-
cept for a minority few, losing
69-61 to MDN.
Little Willie Gibson showed his
true colors as he pumped in 25-
points from his guard position.
According to Coach Jim Tan-
ner, "Gibson did a real fine
job and was responsible for
breaking up the press put on by
Dade North."
This Wednesday the Pacers
play host to Broward JC, who
supports a 15-6 record.
Asked if he had prepared to
change his game pattern, Tanner
said that he would try and stay
with their present two platoon
game plan, with a deliberate type
of offense and a stout defense.
"We won't try anything bas-
ically different," commented
Tanner, "We don't need to play
a more cautious game as -we did
against Indian River."
Quizzed on what he felt was the
overall reason for his team's
downfall, Tanner replied, "I just
don't know. There is no way you
can tell. I do feel we don't have
the cohesiveness in our players
—what you need on a good team."

"Now that we have gone to
the pre-payment of fees program
for the winter term," stated Dean
of Men, Robert Moss, "this some-
what adds to the confusion of the
'Drop-Add Week.' "
Such was the provocation for
the Registration 'Committee to
form a subcommittee comprised
of faculty and administrators to
look at the problem and to see
how it can be procedurally tak-
en care of.
Dean Moss, a member of the
Registration Committee and a
member of the subcommittee,
stated, "If the student would look
at the problem realistically, he
would see that he really doesn't
have a valid gripe."
Moss went on to say that if
a student went into the "Drop-
Add" week, with the intent of
changing courses, for varied
reasons, what in effect he is
doing is extending the actual
registration period.
"We're not really trying to keep
the students out, we're really try-
ing to get them into the classes
they want."
"But they tell us what they
want one day, and then they turn
around and tell us they don't
want it later on."
"Is there something we're not
telling the students to get them
to behave so they can get what
they want in terms of courses?"
queried Moss.
He went on to say that if all the
signs at registration, and all the
preaching by administrative per-
sonnel asking the student to
"Make All Your Changes Today,"
or "Are you satisfied with your
schedule in its present form?"
and "Are you going to accept
your schedule completely?"
doesn't fully make the student
aware that this is the time to
make a change 'in his schedule,
not the first week of classes, he
didn't know what else could be
done.
Making up the committee are a
balance of faculty and adminis-
trators.
Mr. Walker Graham and Mr.
Charles Connell represent the
faculty and Dr. Paul Graham
and Moss represent the admin-
istration.
"The committee will be trying
to make an improvement upon
the procedural element of the
'Drop-Add' Week," stated Moss.
"One procedural way of chang-
ing it might ibe to separate the
different elements that comprise
the long waiting line into differ-
ent places."
An example of this would be
to take all the students who just
wish to drop a course to a dif-
ferent location.
"The one thing I'm concerned
about is that we're trying to be
sensitive to snags, we're try-
ing to make things as smooth
as possible," stated the Dean.
Moss added that any and all
opinions or suggestions of stu-
dents would be greatly appreci-
ated by the committee.

For C@@ri®ii§i@is
by James Fuller
'Cumlior News Editor
Administrative heads from
FAU, PBJC, and Broward Junior
College are tentatively set to meet
Monday, Feb. 17 to discuss such
possibilities as one application
from PBJC, or Broward to FAU.
The purpose of these meetings
between the institutions is to as-
sist the students in metriculation
from a junior college into an
upper division school.
Items to be discussed include
a common catalog, exchange of
professors, block booking, one
application for financial aid,
and one health record.
Department heads from the
three institutions will attempt to
set up programs in the various
fields of study which would also
help the student in transferring
from one school to another.
This will be accomplished by
co-ordinating the fields of study
hat ween the institutions.
The ultimate goal being strived
for is to make PBJC and FAU
one university on two campuses.

"Comber News Editor
Mr. Vincent Price, scheduled to
appear in a special evening as-
sembly program at 8 p. m.
Wednesday, February 12, in the
auditorium, is an actor of con-
siderable renown and a noted art
collector and critic.
He will appear here as a lec-
turer, sharing his great enthusi-
asm for the arts.
Art was Vincent Price's in-
itial interest in" life, but he
turned to the theater while
studying in London as a young
man.
Frequently noted for sinister
roles, Price has appeared in such
thrillers as "The House of Wax,"
"House on a Haunted Hill," "The
Tingler" and "Masque of the Red
Death."
He is equally at home on the
stage and has appeared in the
New York City Center's produc-
tion of "Richard III" and later in
"Cocktail Party" and "The Lady
Is Not For Burning."
Although he does not sketch
or paint, Price has gained rec-
ognition as a major collector
and makes his own collection
available to the public through
local museums.
He is a patron of several con-
temporary American artists and
art consultant and buyer for
Sears, Roebuck and Co.
There will be a reception im-
mediately following the program
in the auditorium.
VINCENT PRICE . . .
. . . Wednesday's Speaker
would in no way interfere with
action at the state level, and
that "we should express our
feelings to the legislators." He
won approval of a motion that
the board:
Take- a position;
Put it in writing;
And that the chairman should
appear before the legislative dele-
gation to state the position orally
and to answer any questions.
After discussion in which Board
Chairman Richard D. Hill agreed
that "I'm alarmed by this thing,
just as I know the rest of you
are," McKay made another three-
item motion, summing up the
board's position.
That loss of the funds, in fi-
nancing as well as in control is to
the best interest of Palm Beach
Junior College.
That loss of the funds, (about
$460,000 this year), would "sorely
hurt the college."
That there are two suggested
alternatives for raising the mon-
ey, one to allow the trustees
to levy millage and the other
to obtain alt support from the
state, and that "both of these
alternatives are undesirable."
McKay"s motion directed that
the board attorney, Richard B.
Burk, put these ideas into a reso-
lution to send to the legislative
delegation.
During discussion, McKay
agreed with a suggestion by board
member Maynard C. Hamblin
that the resolution also include
the view that providing the need-
ed money by raising student fees
is "also an unacceptable alter-
native."

Convictions Of An SO A President
Editor:
Since I first assumed the office
of the student body president, I
have feit that to reflect the con-
cern of those I represent is my
ultimate responsibility.
There is, of course, a rather
restrictive stipulation to such a
philosophy — that being the dif-
ficulty of surmising true majority
sentiment
Incorporating such difficulties
into my view of the Presidency
has oft times forced me to rely
on my personal convictions for
administrative decisions.
The recent controversy over
the dress code policy of this
junior college is one such is-
sue. The issue has been too
often clouded by non objective
arguments and an indictment of
attitudes rather than issues.
This institution has maintained
a high degree of achievement and
order. Other colleges constantly
inform me of how impressed they
are with our campus and its stu-
dents.
If this were the total picture,
then there would be no need for
change. It, however, is not.
One presupposes that an edu-
cational institution is both toler-
ant and progressive. The under-
lying note of our educational sys-
tem is to instill into one, the abil-
ity to accept the responsibility of
his role in society.
Our education also stresses,
as does the nature of our Con-
stitution, the toleration of other
people's conception of their
role.
Surely, we, as students, realize
that school is not a democracy.
It would be foolish to ascertain
that empiricism, is needless.
Yet when any issue of student
desire is dismissed with no con-
sideration, the institution is de-
feating its ultimate purpose.

Since I have been reading this
editorial column it has come to
my attention that the social clubs
on campus are constantly being
attacked in several aspects.
Students claim that these clubs
have no real purpose but to party,
discriminate against individuals,
form cliques, and be a general
bother to everyone.
My fraternal organization (so-
cial club) has been on campus
since 1937. It has contributed to
the school in many ways.
Before the drama club was
organized, it produced all the
plays at PBJC. Now we have
two basic functions — the first
being the sale of a student di-
rectory.

Beachcomber Criticized
For Hiding From Issues
Editor:
In reference to the letter which
appeared in last week's issue of
the Beachcomber, I would like to
take this opportunity to set some
things straight.
It should be brought to light
that there is NO rebellion being
massed against the present dress
code.
There is, however, a large
portion of the student body who
disapprove of the present dress
code and have signed a petition
stating their- disapproval.
I would not call this a rebel-
lion but rather the exercising of
the right to make changes
through democratic procedures.
The petition was circulated for
two and a half days, and was then
presented to the SGA for the pur-
pose of revealing -the opinions of
1,114 students, so that action
might be taken.
Miss Wolske's question, "Is a
mature rebellion founded in boots
and bell bottoms?" is quite un-
founded and confuses fashion with
what she terms a rebellion.
I was both shocked and filled
with sympathy when I read the
following statement: "Standards
of dress and personal morals
should be scrupulously guarded
and developed at this age."
I sympathize with anyone who
at college age can't decide for
himself his mode of dress, and
lacks the possession of personal
morals which should have been
developed long ago.
Some facts which Miss Wolske
and other students should know
are as follows: : 1) This is a state
supported school. Why should we
be denied the privilege that other
state supported schools are al-
lowed? 2) The following Florida
schools have either dropped or
revised their dress code for the
expansion of individualism: San-
ta Fe JC, Miami-Dade JC, Bre-
vard JC, Indian River JC, Flor-
ida State U, the U. of Florida,
and FAU,
I would suggest that the Beach-
comber start publishing facts such
as those above and start provid-
ing the students with these facts
rather than allowing people to
transmit their narrow-minded
opinions of youth to others, and
tying these into an issue which
concerns and represents the
wishes of 1,114 students.
It is time for the Beachcomber
to bring these issues to light by
doing some reporting for a
change, start producing facts,
and above all, quit hiding from
the issues.

LONG ARM OF THE LAW-Bob Baird goes up for two
in a desperate attempt to overtake Broward in the closing
minutes. BJC won 97-85.
by Tom Sherman
'Comber Sports Editor
Willie Gibson, a 5' 8" 125 pound
guard poured in 27 points in a
losing cause against Broward last
Wednesday.
Gibson, a former Seacrest High
grad and Suncoast Conference
scoring leader, racked up 21
points in the second half by hit-
ting on seven of nine shots from
the floor.
Coach Jim Tanner termed the
97-85 loss to Broward "just
plain bad." "We were bad,
there is no doubt about it. Our
defense was completely flat, and
nothing went right."
Along with Gibson's fine per-
formance was that of Earl Find-
ley who contributed 20 points and
13 rebounds. Warcecer Jakes led
all rebounders with 18.
The entire night was mostly a

Draft Not Always Dodged;
Rhoden Elated At Prospect
by Tom Sherman
'-Oombpr Sports Editor
Bill Rhoden was overwhelmed
after being notified that he had
been picked by the Atlanta
Braves in the fourth annual pro-
baseball draft. /
"I was just completely sur-
prised;" said Rhoden. "The base-
ball officials called up the Palm
Beach Post-Times, and then the
Post called me. I really couldn't
believe it,"
Rhoden said that Saturday was
the first time he heard of it.
"Johnny Groth, a scout for the
Braves, had contacted me about
two weeks ago, but said nothing
of the draft."
Asked on how he felt about
Rhoden being drafted, Coach
Mel Edgerton replied, 'I'm just
plain happy. I'm glad somebody
from our team has had the op-
portunity to be chosen. I'm
also very fortunate to be here
at this time too."
Rhoden, a 6' 3" 200 pound right-
hander, was used last year as
an outfielder, infielder, and pitch-
er.
According to the former Sea-
crest High grad, Groth was most
impressed with his pitching abil-
ity even though he only saw him
once.
Noting that Rhoden had been
picked up as a pitcher, Edgerton
brought out that he and Rhoden
had discussed this issue. "Bill
and I talked about pitching, and
he said that he wants to pitch
this season." ,
Questioned on whether or not
Rhoden's appearance would
boost the team morale, Edger-
ton answered, "Definitely! I
feel that the players, knowing
he is on the team, will try a
little harder. Each player de-
pends on the other, especially
the returnees. And the other
teams also will look up to him."
"He's got a real good attitude
too," said the baseball mentor,
"The other players kid him a lit-
tle but he takes It pretty good."
DRAFT VICTIM— Bill Rhoden, warms up in the batting
cage after being drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the recent
pro-baseball draft.
Quizzed about any college pref-
erences, the quiet sophomore
chuckled and said, "Oh probably
Florida and Stetson. I would like
to finish college."
Edgerton also beamed as he
noted that the Braves aren't go-
ing to sign him until after this
season. Instead they will wait to
see his record.
Rhoden made the Post-Times
All-Legion team for the 1968
season being listed as a short-
stop.
During the interview with Ed-
gerton, the baseball team was
having a practice game. In about
ten minutes, Rhoden went two
for two with a double and a tri-
ple.
It appears that Rhoden may
turn out to be another Drysdale
or Gibson.

and Broward's Greg Samuel who

ors.
This Wednesday the Pacers
travel to Indian River for their
second rival game with the Pi-
oneers.
The last contest with IRJC saw
the Pacers hold the high scoring
team to a 91-71 game — even
though it was a losing effort.
Tanner feels the game plan will
be much like that of the last en-
counter. "I think we will try to
play a little closer game, but
stay with the usual game for-
mat."
According to Civitan Presi-
dent Jack Elliot, and Circle K
President Charlie Elderd, a car-
caravan will originate prior to the
game at 6:00 p.m.
The caravan will form on the
campus by the gymnasium,
and is scheduled to depart at
6:30.
"The caravan is being formed
to create a type of school spirit
and to diminish the problem of
apathv on our campus," said
Elderd.
Tennis Team A State Threat
Says Coach Bobbie Knowies
Coach Bobbie Knowies may
sound a bit optimistic when she
says her team will finish third in
the state, but if one considers this
years' added depth, it may con-
tribute to a surprising season.
Thus far this season the wom-
en's tennis team has battled to
a 2-1 record (Prior to Thursday's
encounter with Miami-Dade
South).
The number one position is
held down by Maria Montero,
number two, Gail Marcum, and
number five by Alene Westgate.
All are sophomores and should
be counted on heavily.
Three freshmen from West
Palm Beach round out the squad.
Maria Cartaya is number three,
Joanne Rogers number four, and
Kaithy Patrick number six.
Miss Knowies was quick to
point out the strong points, "We
have more depth than before and
our doubles matches are very
strong."
The women netters have taken
two victories so far over Mana-
tee and Indian River Junior Col-.
leges. Their lone loss came at
the hands of Broward.
Last Tuesday PBJC rapped
Indian River 6-1 with Montero,
Cartaya, Westgate, and Patrick
taking the singles, and the teams
of Montero-Cartaya and Marcum-
Patrick winning both of the dou-
bles matches.
"I think we can finish third
in our division this year and
possibly third or fourth in
the state," commented Miss
Knowies.
"Last year there were only
five teams and this year there are
17. Quite a difference."
This year's tournament will be
held at Miami-Dade South.
This Thursday the Pacers travel
to Miami-Dade North. According
to Miss Knowies they are a real
powerhouse and the girls may
have a rough time.
But overall the women's team,
if everything goes just right, can
better their record of 3-6 from
last year.

Soyuz Vs. Apollo
U. S. Ahead In Race
by Dave Denault
'Combei Special Writpr
Some scientists feel that for the
"rat time since cosmonaut Lt.
esse! Leonov took the first man
ilk in space, the Soviets have
wed ahead of us in man space
ploration.
The Soviet Flight of Soyuz 5
nd 6 transferred pilots and
achieved the first orbiting space
station. For their scientific
achievement the Soviets should be
admired by all nations.
It might be necessary to begin
relying on such maneuvers for
rescues, if space crafts become
stranded in orbit around the
moon or other planets.

chaos.
The campus will maintain its
integrity because we, as students,
will make it
If Student Government is to
reach its potential it will only
be after we have established a
strong campus identity. I firmly
believe that the more personal
responsibility given the student
the more he will maturely exist.
To those who wish things never
to change I say they inevitably
will. The action and issue are
rather insignificant, the principle
is monumental.
Please, do not allow restriction
to become easy ignition for fur-
ther problems.
I, as Student President, hope
all administrators realize that
only through mutual agreement
can the institution progress.
Our piogress is inevitable, let's
make it painless.
Rodney Smith
SGA President
The successful transfer added
a great deal of luster to the
Soviet program, overshadowed
by the American Apollo Moon
Shot.
The Apollo and Soyuz are sim-
ilar in build and weight. Soyuz
weighs about 1,500 pounds less
than Apollo, and is not as high
or wide.
Though the Soviets have made
several outstanding achievements
in man space-flight, the United
States did send the first earth-
lings to orbit the Moon.
The Apollo program will land
a man on the Moon in 1969,
before the Soviets begin testing
a booster like the Saturn V.
The United States has scored
100 percent in launching men
into space, never loosing a
team of astronauts in orbit
Only one crew (Apollo 6) per-
ished due -to a fire in the cap-
sule or on the launch pad during
a simulated test.
To comment on what Sir Ber-
nard Lovell director of the Jo-
drell Bank Observatory in Eng-
land said: "the United States has
fallen four years behind the So-
viet program."
Scientists' opinions should be
respected, and not judged on how
many times their name is in the
news.
Maybe Lovell should have noted
that the United States is about
to orbit the Earth in February
with the first man laboratory
(Lunar Module) along with Apollo
9 aboard the 363 foot Saturn V.
Scientists sometimes like to pre-
dict things before they use
"their" scientific method to draw
conclusions.
If I were to draw a conclusion
about the success of our man
space flight program I would
say . . "WE CARE."

these selected students and make
the final decision.
Presentations are made at an
awards program usually held the
week before the term closes. Only
sophomores graduating at the end
of the winter term are eligible
"Last year there were over 60
qualified applicants," says Mr.
Warner. "The competition was
keen and is even more so this
year."
In general, awards range from
$100 to $1000, and are in some
cases, renewable for the student's

Tri SAmi Meeting
A postponement has been made
in the meeting between PBJC,
Broward Junior College and Flor-
ida Atlantic University which had
been scheduled for Feb. 17.
The reason for the postponement
is that the senior universities in
the state have been requested to
"spell out" their academic pro-
grams for the various fields of
study.
This would lessen the problems
niany students have in figuring
out the requirements necessary to
be accepted into an upper divi-
sion school.
A similar program is heing set
up for the junior colleges in
which the academic programs for
the first two years will also be
clarified.
By coordinating the academic
Programs for both the junior col-
lege and the upper division
schools the difficulties in metricu-
lation will be much less.
If this program succeeds it

named the PRADO in Madrid,
Spain as his favorite museum.
He elated great enthusiasm for
the Modem Arts. "Many people

Price because it is so violent and

Price to an audience of over 500.
Following the lecture Price signed

Drop-Add Week Misnomer
Gives Wrong Impression
A misnomer in connection with
the week of confusion following
registration has been linked to the
origin of the lingering line experi-
enced by numbers of students dur-
ing the first of winter term clas-
ses.
According to Dean of Men Rob-
ert Moss, this week should have
been referred to in a sense, "the
cleaning up of loose ends" not
drop-add week.
The term drop-add gave the
student the impression thai this
was the time for him to manipu-
late his schedule to something
different than it was, he added.
The purpose of the week was to
solve class conflicts, such as the

Weekly Sessions
Debate workshops are now be-
ing. held on Tuesday's from elev-
en to one in Joshua Crane's of-
fice above the Auditorium. These
workshops are open to any stu-
dent interested.
"Resolved: That executive con-
trol of U. S. foreign policy be
significantly curtailed" is the na-
tional debate topic this year.
At the present there are four
students participating in the
program. Chuck Mathison, Den-
ice Fullwood, Bruce Allen, and
Gary Gray, represent PBJC at
the many debate tournaments
held throughout the year.
According to Josh Crane, Di-
rector of Forensics, "These four

have had in several years."

the same time period.
Moss then pointed out that the
time reserved for making changes
is during the registration period
before you accept your schedule
and pay your fees.
It was also noted that during
this week approximately 25 stu-
dents were in line because of
an actual class conflict (two
classes scheduled at same hour)
while countless others stood in
line for the purpose of drop-
ping classes, which can be done
anytime.
A special subcommittee of the
Registration Committee, which in-
cludes Moss, Mr. Charles Gra-
ham, Dr Paul Graham, and Mr
Charles Connell meets today to
try and iron out existing prob-
lems that have arisen in the pre-
sent registration program.

Limit Discussion
It was onie said that the most insignificant things receive
the most amount oi attention.
Sitoli is the iase of the SGA Senate.
At present there are two Iry-law.s on the iloor of the sen-
ate, one is to establish the number of absences a senator may
obtain before expulsion, the other is the establishment of a
loan fund.
The senatorial absence by-law has been submitted for the
second time, in which each presentation has accumulated more
than a dozen amendments and countless hours of debate.
It this In-law would have been given ample considera-
tion prior to its writing, the literal waste of time in discussion
ol the law could have been avoided.
The loan fund by-law is doomed to the same extent.
Ample consideration, should include discussion with sen-
ators outside of senate meetings. Through this, debate can be
minimized ii senate opinion is collected before hand, and in-
corporated in the legislation.
According to a recent rash of letters to the Beachcomber
it seems the newly proposed dress code is at least causing
some controversy among students on a campus noted for its
apathy about anything and everything - controversy among
the few who write letters to the' editor, that is like the SGA
President Rodney Smith (what's in a name), Vicky Wolske
a Pole - that's, what's in a name!) and Mike Moan (the on
igain-off again value man!)
Great issues, principles, possible student rebellions,
reedom of the individual, maturity of the PBJC student,
morality, God, motherhood and country are all declared to
be at stake along with dungarees, bell-bottoms, sandals and
mini-skirts!
Anyway, before the earth-shattering decision to dress
or not-to-dress is decided once and for all, Yours Truly
(up with the Pole's) would like to insert his two hundred
dollars worth!
Speaking of dressing and not dressing, if no one wore
nyt img (sort ol a nudist campus under the sun) then it
rould solve the problem of a dress code once and for all!
it course, there would be other problems to overcome - like
ne wise guy who would want to regulate the degree of
ran a person might sport.
I can just see counselors issuing to incoming Freshmen,

THE PEPPER MILL
Obscenity ^ Maturity Or /literacy
Latrinalia, commonly referred
to as the lingo of the washroom,
and various other exponents of
obscenities have apparently found
a home in a number of collegiate
newspapers.
The four-letter word craze ac-
cording to authorities originated
in the "Big Ten" area and has
spread to several institutions
throughout the nation.
The situations seem to differ
but the results in most cases are
the same.
The Purdue Exponent pub-
lished a poem that described
sexual perversions and a col-
umn that referred to a school
official in somewhat earthy
terms.
The result — varied student and
faculty reaction and a probe by
administrators and regents.
The Daily Cardinal of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin printed four-
letter words screamed by a lead-
er of the SDS movement. The
result — varied reaction, contro-
versy and a probe by a special
committee.
The Boston University News
carried an article concerning a
controversial issue which included
photographs of nudes.
The result — varied reaction,
controversy and a probe by a
special committee.
Another common occurrence
was that printers legally re-
fused to print the profanity,
causing a number of publica-
tions to search for new print-
ers.
The incidents continue with
each advocate of the movement
citing freedom of expression or
Atfmfabflratiire B®§
mites 1 Uprisings
(ACP) The frequent occurrence
of violent and non-violent disrup-
tive action on college campuses
has stimulated a disappointingly
limited public discussion, believes
Dr. James Beck, assistant profes-
sor of physiology at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
Beck believes failure to com-
municate between the adminis-
tration and the "liberals" is
due simply to the fact that the
groups talk about different
things.
When one group's discourse
concerns life and death and the
quality of life, and the other's
concerns rules of procedure for
setting dormitory hours and
whether one is permitted an ob-
scenity, which" group is obliged
to change its universe of dis-
course?
"Universities within the United
States are generally not the
sources of honest criticism and
broader vision by which the so-
ciety might be served," Beck ob-
served.
Change is "imperative and
urgent," Beck said, although he
doesn't believe- it is justification
for some of the tactics used.
Both groups are obliged to con-
sider the issue as it arises, Beck
believes.
"We cannot hide "behind pro-
cedural rules." His inclination is
strongly to nonviolent resistance
and reconstruction.
"it's what's happening" as their
source of justification.
It should be noted that free-
dom goes hand-in-hand with re-
sponsibility, as there is no such
thing as complete freedom.
The question then arises, "Is
the printing of obscenities a mark
of irresponsible journalism?"
The answer is' yes. The purpose
of profanity is to offend, and in-
cite anger.
Profane language is used only
because the speaker did not
have the intelligence to think
of a more descriptive word. The
speaker either has a limited vo-
cabulary or he wishes to pro-
voke his audience.
The use of a so-called "four-
letter word" does not add to the
realism of a news story, it takes
away. It interrupts, shatters ,the
mode of thought, and is just plain
awkward.

If the word can be substituted

A second argument proposed
is that obscenity Is realism,
therefore people are mature
enough to read it.

A New Breed Of Man
DAVE DENAULT -*
Editor:
Last January 8, I joined a line
where you could expect a three
hour wait to -get in to add and
drop courses.
During .the course of waking,
a group of us set up the anti-
registration Committee. The pur-
pose of this committee was to
right the wrongdoings of the Reg-
istration Committee.
I am sorry to admit we have
failed— Nothing, not even a field
in May could correct the system
we have now.
Before we dissolve our anti-
committee, we would like you to
know how effective pre-registra-
tion can be.
First and most important of
all, is to print a booklet re-
vealing to the students the
courses being offered and the
times.
If this is kept a secret as be-
fore, the computer might reject
your schedule because of con-
flicts.
Next, after the students have
made out their schedules and had
them approved by their counsel-
ors, they take them to a group of
women who check them to make
Q. Why are astronauts willing
to risk their lives? This was the
question asked by faculty and
students this past week.
This question is not, by any
means new. In a recent discus-
sion, a group of distinguished
psychiatric experts came to the
following conclusions:
9 The astronauts are bored
with normal life. For them, the
unknown holds excitement rather
than terror.
® They want to reach the very
top. No second-rate career will do
for them.
©They are conscious of risks,
but not reckless. But once the
risks are evaluated they are put
out of mind. The astronauts re-
fuse to consider anything but
success!
Spacemen like Col. Frank
Borman, Maj. William Anders,
and Capt. James Loveli, of the
Apollo 8 crew who orbited the
Moon in December, are not cre-
ated by Disney.
It takes many years and mi
lions of dollars to train astro
nauts to fly the various span
missions.
In fact, if an astronaut wes
paid the total amount spent h
one year of his training he ww';
receive about $140,000.
In an interview with Dekc SU
ton, head of astronaut trainir^
I asked how difficult it is to te
come an astronaut. His roj>\
was, "Learn to fly, study a pa:
ticular phase of Earth Scfeaa
and obtain a degree in that «i
area. Then apply!"
Today's space heroes do os
dismiss the dangers of spas
travel and the future happin«;
of their families just to bec«r,=
heroes.

OPINION IN GOOD MEN .IS BUT KNOWLEDGE IN THE MAKING
Reader Condemns Quoting
When Taken Out Of Context
Editor:
1 do not wish to initiate a pub-
lic correspondence with Mr.
Moan, but feel obligated to reply
to his condemnations.
The opinion was just that, not
a representative proclamation of
the Beachcomher, as Mr. Moan
supposed. It is a personal estima-
tion of the role of responsibility
of the student to the society of
which he is a part, and a provoca-
tion for awareness and thought
on the subject. In that respect I
was successful, as demonstrated
by Mr. Moan's reply.
In addition, I should like to
thank him for the interest and
accuracy he displayed in quot-
ing selected phrases, however,
they were mis-interpreted in
their removal from context.
I can see no loss of identity in
"scrupulously guarding one's
Standards of dress and morals."
Unfortunately for many like
you, Mr. Moan, responsibility and
obligations are prerequisites for
respect and opportunity.

'Comber Still Hiding
From Dress Code Facts
Editor:
I would like to comment on your
last weeks' article entitled '"Com-
ber Concepts." I will not take
back my critisisms (sic) toward
your hiding from the issues.
True, in Dec. 17 issue of the
Beachcomber you printed your
own speculations on the effects of
the dress code changes but these
by no means represent facts.
For example "Should PBJC be
allowed to become another San
Francisco State". This is a ridicc-
lous (sic) speculation on your
part. How can one make a com-
parison between the two institu-
tions? San Francisco State is 1.
a much larger University 2. Has
many more enviromental (sic)
elements such as origin of stu-
dents, etc., 3. Is more politicly
(sic) active, 4. subject matter and
interest of students and faculty
is much more varied, 5. the tur-
• mcdl is not over something as tri-
vial as an archaic dress code.
Let's take the SGA public opin-
ion poll of 'last term for our next
example. True, fee Presid ent of
Che SGA was partly at fault tor
not releasing the results of this
noil but it is also the media s re-
sponsibility to seek out informa-
tion and give it to the students.
Sy Si 5U of the students by
.^reWatives (sic) of the stu-
dents should be made public no
ma7te7 how insignificant you
mjht feel the results are. It was
your job as the news media of
our campus to make these results
known.
In closing I would like to make
one final point and inquiry. Two
weeks ago the SGA voted on the
dress code resolution. Why was'nt
(sic) the result of this vote pre-
sented to the students?
I also invite you to prove your
statement in this article "It
should also be noted that there
are a good number more state
institutions 'that do have a dress
code than do not." I invite you to
prove that there are more state
supported college institutions, that
represents (sic) as many students
as the -ones I mentioned in my
last letter who have a dress code
as strict as ours.

Socinf Clubs Ire
A Popularity Hmen
Editor,
While the social clubs on cam-
pus have contributed something
to the school, there is little ques-
tion that they are a social haven
which harvests members desirous
of a popularity they could not
otherwise obtain.
The general trend of student re-
sponses to the student directory
sale is in itself a testimonial to
this fact.
I find it difficult to believe
that the student directory sale
is a non-profit one, and that a
club the size of Phi Da Di re-
quired six months of steady
work to compile it.
Several people I talked to on
campus complained of an error
in the listing of their names, a
series of unnecessary mistakes.
It is no wonder there was an
air of apathy among the students
when the social club (s) expect
the student to act in a manner
toward which he has not been
properly motivated.
The real root of the problem
is not a lack of enthusiasm on
the part of the student body, but
a deficiency in the overt be-
havior on the part of the social
clubs.
Remember, social status has its
price!

Comber Criticized
hr Xmm' SGA
Editor:
During the past several weeks,
it seems that all the BEACH-
COMBER does is criticize, some-
times quite irrationally, SGA.
If, in your opinion, SGA is a
"buried" organization, why not
constructive criticism instead of
blowing up petty quarrels be-
tween individuals''
Both you and the student body
seem to forget — YOU are the
ones who elected these people.
If you are so dissatisfied, why
did you brilliant people not run
for office, instead of the mere
ten freshmen and 14 sopho-
mores who filed?
Whv don't you take advantage
of programs SGA offers to bene-
fit you'
If there truly is a "dead and
buried" Student Government, it
is only because the. student body
itself Is "dead and buried."

to do something brave on the
spur of the moment.
There is a difference between
heroes who impulsively do some-
thing brave and those men who
have to train for months or
years for one flight.
Today our attention is fo-
cused on the space program and
h'lerrhi c-Ury travel; but in
earner times it would have
been the Frai.Llins or the
Wrights, tLey too can be con-
sidered heroes.
Though most people on the
Earth, wished the crew of Apollo
i well and were with them in
pint, most would have turned
down the chance to exchange
places with them.
This "breed of new Ameri-
cans," is rare, and tributes
should be extended to them for
dieir contributions in develop-
ing new technological advances
in science, industry and educa-
tion that has helped make
America what it is todav.
From the establishing of the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) more than
a decade ago, President John
Kennedy said, "We have to learn
to sail on the new Ocean of
Space." And sailing it we are—
with great success!

The Pacers just don't have it

Pacer's Big Man
Is A little
February 19, 1969 Page 5
by Tom Sherman
'Coluber Sport 1 . Eclitur
Every basketball team has its
superstar — whether or not ,he's
five-foot ten or six-foot ten— any
way you look at it he's the big
man.
The Pacer's big man is some-
what like a dauntless "Little Man
On Campus" — Willie Gibson.
Gibson, a mere 5' 8" 125
pounds proved to everyone that
there still is room for the little
man in basketball.
He came to PBJC on grant and
aid as former Suncoast Confer-
ence scoring leader from Seacrest
High School.
This season Gibson has come
into his own as a college player.
Starting out the season as a re-
serve, he rias now battled his
way to the starting lineup, and
second high scorer on the team
with a 12.0 average.
Asked if he felt there was much
difference between high school
and college ball, Gibson replied,
"I don't think there is that much
difference. I can't drive as much
as I used to ,but it is harder
to shoot over the taller players."
Gibson tied the school record
of scoring in one game with 33
points against Miami -Dade
South February 7, held by Earl
Findley. In the last three games
he has scored 70 points.
Coach Jim Tanner commented
that he felt Gibson was doing a
fine job this season. "I feel Willie
has done a real good job for us.
Coming in as a Seacrest spark-
plug and playing a different style
of ball, he has adjusted real well.
He has had trouble shooting over
the bigger guards. However, 1
still think he has done an out-
standing job for us."
Questioned on how he felt about
sitting out most of the games
WILLIE GIBSON
Pacers little giant
earlier this season, Gibson said,
"I lost my confidence. Being
able to play all the time in high
school, and not starting here
made me lose my confidence."
Tanner also commented on
Gibson's overall play this year.
"He has been the most con-
sistent player in getting the ball
down court against the press.
If I were to assess Willie's
overall abilities this year, I
would say he has done an ex-
cellent job. He has shot well
and played good defense."
It appears that this season
Gibson has continued doing the
thing he does best — scoring
points and has proven that it
doesn't take a six-foot ten giant

AS WOMEN'S TENNIS GETS INTO FULL SWING . . .
so does this lass's. This is what's called "Putting all you've got
into the ball."
Playable Tennis Courts
Lacking At PBJC Campus
by Jim Scruggs
'Comber Staff Writer
With the exception of one school
which recently moved to new ac-
commodations, PBJC is the only
Junior College which does not
support its own tennis courts.
The hard surface courts' to the
north of the gymnasium were not
built with tennis in mind, it was
learned from Coaoh Harris Mc-
Girt, 'the men's tennis instructor.
They were not constructed any
larger because originally they
were merely utility facilities for
volleyball.
When they were finally con-
verted to tennis courts, it was
necessary for McGirt and others
to paint on lines by hand be-
fore instruction could begin.
While ideal for instructional
urposes, these courts come no-
ihere near meeting the require-
lents for regulation play, being
jqo small and of too rough a sur-
face texture.
When asked if there would be
any advantage in having tennis
facilities, McGirt's answer was an
immediate, resounding "yes;" at
present practice and home games
are conducted at Boynton.
Why doesn't PBJC have tennis
courts? McGirt didn't know.
Coach Ray IDaugherty, the ath-
letic director for the college, sup-
plied 'the answer.
Funds are the key, according
to Daugherty.
"At present, the necessary
funds are not available." This
is due to the previous alloca-
tion of money for the new base-
ball field to the south of the
gymnasium and the two athletic
fields to tlie west, in addition
to the new addition to the gym
itself.
This is not to say that there
is not a desire for these courts.
"Tennis courts are of top pri-
ority, If the needed money can
be obtained it is hoped that by
next year the facilities will be
in operation. But— this remains
to be seen."

Tennis Prospects look Bright
Although Competition Is Tough
by Tom Sherman
'Comber Sports Editor
According to tennis coach Har-
ris McGirt, this season has all
indications of surpassing last
year's highly successful venture.
"It's going to be a tough sea-
son," commented McGirt, "We
have a tougher schedule than the
previous years, but I think we'll
better last years 12-3 record."
Rough competition isn't the only
obstacle blocking the Pacers path
to success.
This year's tennis team con-
sists of all newcomers in inter-
collegiate competition. Last sea-
son, the team, comprised of
graduating sophomores, finished
third in the state.
McGirt also feels that this
year's team is the best ever at
PBJC. "I feel this is the best
team, man-for-man, we have ever
had, and depth will probably be
our strongest point."
David Chambliss is the only re-
turning sophomore from last
year's team. The Vero Beach
grad should help form the nucleus
of the.netters.
The man to watch, however,
is Walter Powers. A graduate
of John I. Leonard High School,
Powers is ranked seventh in
Juniors Competition in the
state.
The bulk of the team is unde-
cided in their playing order Mc-
Girt said, From Lake Worth
comes Roger Sells, Forest Hill-
Don Dickey, Pahokee — Richard
Browning, Seacrest — Ron Mack
lin, and from Akron, New York-
Doug Remington.
All are fine prospects ad
should aid the Pacers to another
fine season.
McGirt also said that Miami-
Dade North and South, along
with Central Florida (who won
the National Championship las!
year) should be seeded as their
toughest opponents.
Opening game for the Pacers is
against Edison, February 28.
Initial competition, however
begins February 20 against Brff^
ard Junior College for a practice
game.

A total of 81 per cent of the
students asked favored a change
in the present dress policy accord-
ing to a poll recently conducted
by the SGA in order to determine
student opinion to present and
proposed dress code regulations.
Changes favored by over 50 per
cent of the students are the al-
lowance of neatly trimmed mous-
taches, long side burns, bermuda
shorts for men in the spring se-
mester, and shorts and slacks for
women during the spring semes-
ter.
Two hundred and twenty-eight
students from ten classrooms in-
cluding Physical Science, State
and Local Government, Data
Processing, Linear Algebra, and
Band were questioned as to their
views on the present dress regu-
lations and what they would con-
sider appropriate and up to date
changes.
According to SGA pre$ident
Rodney Smith, "This was the
most comprehensive poll the SGA
has ever taken." "We tried to
arrange it so that students from
all areas would be able to state
their opinions. I think the results
are indicative of the true "dress"
feeling here on campus."
The third question in the poll
listed proposed changes and asked
for yes or no opinions.
Proposed changes included to-
tal abolishment of dress code re-
strictions—favored by 25 per cent,
beards— 37 per cent, goatees — -
35 per cent, long haircuits — 37
per cent, bermuda shorts for men

The tournament offered individ-
ual speakers an opportunity to
speak in four different categories
as well as debate and Reader's
Theatre.
Maxine Ross captured a first
place in entertainment speaking.
Third place in this event went to
King Morrison.
In the extemporaneous cate-
gory, Bruce Allen received sec-
ond place with Bill Graham ob-
taining an honorable mention.
John Schneider and Dave Wood-
man placed second and third re-
spectively in the oral interpreta-
tion classification.
Maxine Ross also captured an-
other event by receiving an hon-
orable mention in the persuasive
speaking division.
In group events both the switch
debate team and the Reader's
Theatre were awarded third
place.
(year round) — 31 per cent,
slacks and shorts for ( women
(year round) — 37 per cent, and
a relaxing of dress policy for
night students — 46 per cent
The results of this poll were
presented to Deans Glynn, Moss,
and Davies at the meeting of the
Dress Code Reviewing Commit-
tee.
The Deans replied in a written
statement that they would favor
no change in the present dress
code policy.
Academic Revision
Smith Proposes Plan
by Rodney Smith
SGA President
The latest, and perhaps most
important, area of endeavor by
SGA is in the unprecedental area
of educational reform.
I have proposed, after much
contemplation and deliberation, a
six-ipoint plan of action for im-
proving the educational atmos-
phere of this college.
Point one is that there shall be
a day-time accredited course in
Afro-American culture and his-
tory.
The problems of rabid misun-
derstanding can best be solved
through 'the perpetuation of learn-
ing. We cannot solve what we
remain ignorant about.
Point two states that no student
shall be forced to pay the stu-
dent activity fee because he is
a twelve hour night student.
Night students often have little
time for campus activities, and
less money to spend on someone
elses'.
Point three encourages the es-
tablishment of a mandatory,
school -wide teacher - evaluation
program.
The student deserves to evalu-
ate how the teacher has present-
ed subject matter.
Point four, five and six deal
with curriculum alterations and
innovations.
First, I feel that we need es-
tablished an honors program, as
now exists in the Communications
department, in the other areas of
the school. The placement of stu-
dents in these courses should be
based on past academic records
and college accepted test scores.
Secondly, students who have de-
cided their area of major and
have maintained a 3.2 average in
the basic courses of this area,
should be placed into an excel-
lerated seminar type of class-
room.
The reason for this is to pre-
pare the better student for the
trauma of transfer, and give him
a stronger background in his ma-
jor.
The last point and the most
poignant is that students taking
the natural sciences or social sci
ences for graduation only, should
be placed in separate courses than
those who are taking them as in-
troductory courses for this ma-
jor.
Why should music majors and
Biology majors take the same
course? The mathematics depart-
ment has developed a transfer-
able survey course, MS 106. I
RODNEY SMITH
. . . "Six point plan"
hope other departments follow
suit
A class segregation based on
achievement and interest is ad-
vantageous to instructor and stu-
dent, alike.
It is my hope that, although the
problems are difficult many, stu-
dents and instructorrs will help
in the passage of this legislation,
that the administration will take
subsequent appropriate action.
We are all interested in up-
grading the educational aspects of
the college and here is the gen-
esis of such a program.

Keep The Ball Rolling
The Social Science Department has again "started the
ball rolling" with a colloquiem series, by sponsoring Dr. James
Dooling Ill's talk on "Food and Poison."
The Social Science Department initiated the series last
year with hopes that it would spread to other campus educa-
tional departments.
To date, not one other department has attempted to pre-
sent such a discussion program.
We feel there is a need for such colloquiums, as was
proven by the outstanding attendance figures at the meetings,
Topics such as book reviews, discussions of advertising
techniques, art critiques, and scientific progress in the twen-
tieth century could easily be presented.
Other departments should follow in the steps of the
Social Science Department and "keep the ball rolling."
Voice Of The Readers
FJC Week: Campus Hit Peak
Editor:
PBJC was at its highest peak
of the term as it celebrated Flor-
ida Junior College Week last
week.
I must congratulate all the serv-
ice clubs and other organizations
that displayed their fine projects
that were in SAC. The cafeteria,
for once, did a little extra out
f the ordinary in decorating our
bles with the school colors.
They also added some spice
oring to the food too, which
s a relief to see from the nor-
il plain food on display.
■towever, I was quite disap-
>inted in the small number of
rofessors who showed up to get
icquainted at the student-faculty
coffee. I would like to know why?
Certainly not all teachers had
classes at this time.
I was more-over disappointed
y the number of students that
(tended this coffee. We have
Jrne 4,000 day students and only
about 300 (if that many) came
to the coffee gathering and took
notice of the displays in SAC.
College is not just a place to
go to class and get a grade. It
is an institution by which stu-
dents should become socially in-
volved as well as academically.

thority over areas which deal with
the institution's operation.
The problem today, however,
has boiled down to where does
the right of the student's individu-
ality end and the right of au-
thority begin.
The whole question revolves
around the willingness of both
the student as an individual and
the administration as an authority
to provide the most open and
unencumbered fields as possible
in which to pursue the goals of
higher and wider educational hori-
zons.
This, of course, requires the re-
straint and vision of both parties.
In recent times, the disruptive
events at many colleges and uni-
versities have proved this ques-
tion has not been resolved.
Instead of a cooperative atti-
tude between students and au-
thority with genuine concern on
the part of both sides to reason
together over differences of opin-
ion as to what constitutes who's
right, we have an almost uni-
versal desire to protest and dis-
agree about anything— even if it
has to be invented by one side
or the other!
It appears that the rationality
of one side to uphold its respon-
sibilities to the other side has
been discarded for disorder and
disagreement at any cost!
This phenomenon on our cam-
puses has been perpetrated by
the few who are irresponsible on
the many who are unconcerned
about their responsibilities, thus
a minority tail is wagging the
majority dog 'because the ma-
jority dog usually doesn't care un-
til it is too late!
The result is .the goal of ex-
panded knowledge going up in
fire and smoke as a sacrifice to
the gods of mass hysteria, mass
involvement, mass destruction
and mass resignation to the death
of individuality.
Reason has long ago fled the
scene. FREEDOM IS REASON.
With reason, the individual ex-
ists and his right to individuality
exists.
Where are the students with
reason?
Where are the "wiser and old-
er" administration of authority
with reason? Have they ail died
of chaos?
Have the collective individuals
which make up a campus, the
students, faculty, staffs and ad-
ministrators died — doomed to
become only an undistinguished
human mass?
Today, it appears that many
campuses are scenes of contem-
porary paradox which is sad to
see in our day of human aware-
ness.
This paradox, the destruction of
the individual in the name of in-
dividuality, is rapidly spreading
throughout the campus commu-
nity, resulting in the crowd be-
coming dormant over the single
man.
We are losing our individual
wills and thus our individual re-
sponsibilities.
This leads to the loss of our in-
dividual rights and the end of
the individual.
We have traded individuality
for the collective approach—the
"let the crowd force a change"
attitude.
The group dominates — and
soon the masses will take their
place.
It is time for the college stu-
dent to stand on his own two
feet and earn his own recognition
from society by discharging his
responsibilities to society with
purpose and integrity.

SDS Motto: From Protest To Resistance
by Jacquie Boiling
'Comber Staff Writer
"'We are the people of this gen-
eration, bred in at least modest
comfort, housed now in univer-
sities, looking uncomfortably to
the world we inherit"
This is the founding statement
of the Students for a Democratic
Society, a radical New Left group
which is now active on many U. S.
college campuses.
SDS was founded in Port Huron,
Michigan on June 11, 1962 and
participants were limited to 59
persons representing 11 colleges.
The Civil Rights movement was
its prime concern.
"The members wanted action,
not discussions," said Carl Ogles-
by, SDS national president in 1965
and 1966.
They organized Northern ghetto
dwellers in such projects as "Chi-
cago's Jobs or Income Now
(JOIN), and fought to get Missis-
sippi's "Freedom delegation"
seated at the 1964 national Demo-
cratic Convention.
Since the days of the Port Hu-
ron statement, SDS has evolved
from a reformist group to a rev-
olutionary one. Its participation
and philosophies have expanded
in the process.
They now claim a membership
of close to 35,000 although only
6,000 pay national dues. Over 300
chapters have been estimated on
Carl Davidson Outlines Tactics
To Achieve Student Syndicalism
by Sam Pepper
'Comber Editor-in-Chief
It was freshman orientation day
at one of the big ten universities.
The administration had com-
pleted its program.
On the other side of the cam-
pus a similar program was being
conducted by another organiza-
tion.
"This is the office of the presi-
dent," explained the director,
"note the 4 inch thick bullet proof
window. If the office is locked
during a siege of the building this
is tow you break in. . ."
The organization — Students for
a Democratic Society, their pur-
pose — to make the university
system free.
Opposed to the "fundamental
contradictions" of the present uni-
versity system, SDS National Sec-
retary Carl Davidson states, "we
need to organize, to build a move-
ment on the campuses with the
primary purpose of radically
transforming the university com-
munity."
Their ultimate goal — partici-
patory democracy as put forth in
the Port Huron Statement (the
organization's manifesto) urges a
new "democracy of individual
participation wihere each person
shares in the social decisions de-
termining the quality and direc-
tion of his life.
According to Davidson if a
young man is required to fight
in Vietnam, then participatory
democracy says he should have
the power to help shape draft
laws and war policy.
To achieve their goal, David-
son in an article entitled "Toward
Student Syndicalism" (published
in the organization's official pub-
lication, NEW LEFT NOTES)
proposes an active plan of re-
sistance.
He suggests:
1. Every SDS chapter should
organize a student syndicalist
movement on its campus.
By a syndicalist movement, Da-
vidson means movement working
for "student control" not a move-
ment that helps a "paternal ad-
ministration make better rules for
us."
"What we want is a union of
students where the students them-
selves decided what kind of rules
they want or don't want. Or
whether they need any rules at
all."
2. Organize a Campus Freedom
Democratic Party (CFDP) or a
Free Student Union (FSU).
The CFDP's function is to ha-
rass student government meetings
(usually done by showing up en
masse and singing the Mickey
Mouse Club theme) and to ul-
timately win a majority of seats
in the SG elections.
While in office, Davidson says,
"the CFDP should push through
a list of demands. If the demands
are not met, it should then
promptly abolish SG and begin
mass demonstrations, sit-ins and
boycotts of all classes."
FSU's function is to create a
rival student government that
would eventually "embrace a
healthy majority of the student
body."
After it gains control, it should
"declare the student government
defunct and present its demands
to the administration and if re-
fused it should declare a general
strike."
Davidson also pointed out that
in some cases it may become nec-
essary to ship busloads of stu-
dents to striking camupses where
replacements are needed as a re-
sult of mass arrests.
3. Adopt as its primary and
central issue, the abolition of the
grade system.
Davidson considers grades as
the direct cause of most student
anxieties and frustrations.
He further adds, without
grades, "the Selective Service
would have a hell of a time rank-
ing us."
4. Finally incorporate as a sec-
racy, which can be viewed- as an
ondary issue participating democ-
attempt to "sabotage the knowl-
edge factory."
Proposed action includes:
• Approach students in teach-
er colleges with counter-curricula
based on the ideas of Paul Good-
man and A. S. Neil for the radi-
cal education of children.
• At the beginning of -the term,
request or demand of the prof
that students participate in the
forming of the structure, format
and content of that course.
• Sign up for, attend, de-
nounce and then walkout of and
picket excessively large classes.
• Hold mock trials for the
Dean of Men and Dean of Women
for the "crimes against human-
ity."
"Participatory democracy is
like a chronic and contagious
disease. Once caught it perme-
ates one's whole life and the lives
of those around us."
college campuses all over the na-
tion.
SDS has been described by FBI
director J. Edgar Hoover as "hat-
ing almost every aspect of Amer-
ican life, and dedicated to a pro-
gram of obstruction and disrup-
tion of authority."
The main catalyist in SDS
thinking is against what they call
the "imperialist" Vietnam war.
"The war has served as a vehi-
cle for recognition of the larger
problems of American society,"
states Eric Bohman, president of
the Smith-Amherst SDS.
SDS also protests against the
Selective Service System, and
anything else that supports the
war, and the Dow Chemical Com-
pany, which makes napalm.
Opposition to the "hierarchy"
that controls higher education in
the United States is another balk.
National headquarters for SDS
is a pair of drab rooms above the
Chicken House restaurant on Chi-
cago's sleazy West Madison
Street. Regional offices are locat-
ed in Washington, New York,
Boston, Los Angeles and Madi-
son.
The organization's highest es-
chelon consists of the -three na-
tional secretaries elected annual-
ly. They, with eight other offi-
cers conduct affairs between an-
nual conventions.
The national budget is about
$90,000: one third comes from
subscriptions: the rest from small
contributions. The skeleton staff
employed subsists on about fifteen
dollars per week.
A slogan recently adopted by
SDS is "from protest to resist-
ance." Some activists claim the
aim is nothing less than the re-
making of U. S. society.
"Our goal," says Michael Spie-
gel, SDS National Secretary and
Harvard dropout, "is, not to cre-
ate a free university in an unfree
society. Our goal is to create a
free society."
SDS College Orientated
Its Goal - To Liberate Society
by Larry Krasulak
'Comber Staff Writer
What is the SDS?
Actually, as a movement it is
hard to define. Most of the par-
ticipants in SDS activities are col-
lege students — many of its ac-
tual members are not. It is pre-
dominantly a college-age move-
ment found in ithe college and uni-
versity community — but not ex-
clusively.
Besides undergraduates, SDS
contains a wide assortment of oth-
er participants such as college
faculty members (mostly young),
graduate students, writers, "intel-
lectuals" of various types, ex-
students who are still "hanging
economy.
In the words of J. Edgar Hoo-
ver, "Here is the paradox of the
New Left and the SDS. Many of
the New Leftist and SDS mem-
bers are mere intellectual tramps
who seek the exotic and eccentric
as emotional outlets; but some,
in one way or another, are seri-
ously searching — not only for
an answer to society's problems,
but for values of human exist-
ence in a world of great uncer-
tainty."
To say that the SDS is a po-
litical party or a tightly disci-
plined organization is to miss its
true identity. Rather, the SDS is
a mood, a philosophy of life, a
way of looking at self, country
beachcomber
in depth* Study
around" the campus, curiosity-
seekers and some Communists.
According to SDS national sec-
retary Cart Davidson, "We have
within our ranks Communists of
both varieties (Sino and Soviet),
socialists of all sorts, three or
four different kinds of anarchists,
anarcho-syndicalists, syndicalist,
social democrats, humanists lib-
erals, a growing number of liber-
tarian laisse-faire capitalist, and
of course, the articulate vanguard
of the psychedelic liberation
front,"
In this amalgamation is found
a great deal of nonsensical chat-
ter. There is also serious conver-
sation by some highly motivated
and articulate young people seek-
ing to understand the vital prob-
lems facing our nation today,
such as poverty, civil rights,
world peace, automation; the stu-
dents role on the university cam-
pus, human dignity in a rapidly
developing urban and industrial
and the universe! In this mood
lies its tragedy — and its danger!
The SDS's mood and philosophy
of life — is not one of support
for America and its traditions, of
upholding moral and democratic
values.
Instead, it is one of defiance,
hostility and opposition to the free
society of this country. It seeks
to destroy, not to' build.
Its whole approach is one of
negativism — • to criticize, belittle,
degenerate the principles on
which the nation was built.
Cynicism, pessimism and cal-
lousness are its mottoes. At its
heart the SDS is nihilitic and an-
archistic. To analyze the SDS is
to become suddenly aware of the
nihilistic wasteland it produces.
Basic to the SDS's mood is the
idea that contemporary American
society (contemptuously called the
"Establishment") is corrupt, evil
and malignant — and must be
destroyed.
To reform society, to change it
for the better, is impossible in
the eyes of the SDS. It must be
liquidated as the only solution.
For this reason the SDS takes
great delight in their tactics of
showing scornful disdain for opin-
ions with which they disagree
(the SDS at heart is extremely
totalitarian, intolerant and opin-
ionated in nature).
They urge resistance to the
draft (even on occasion try to
interfere physically with the le-
gitimate activities of armed-serv-
ices personal on college campuses
present for the purpose of recruit-
ing), burn or mutilate draft
cards, endeavor to dictate to uni-
versity administrative officials
how these institutions should be
run.
The SDS has little appreciation
of and respect for history or for
the accumulated heritage and wis-
dom of former years. By reject-
ing the past, they lack a clear
view of the future.
Their chief aim, despite their
protestations to the contrary, is
to destroy, annihilate, and tear
down.
Their heros are Castro, Ohe
Guevara, Mao Tse-Tung, Ho Chi
Minh, or whoever they believe is
a fighter (preferably the romantic
guerrilla type) against the "status
quo" capitalist nation of America!
How does the SDS propose to
destroy the "decadent" society in
which we live?
The mood of the SDS toward
"creative disruption" in the past
has been reflected in various tac-
tics of protest such as demonstra-
tions, sit-ins and petition cam-
paigns.
But the mood of the SDS pro-
test, is now giving way to one
of resistance.
This is one of the tragedies of
any movement of protest that re-
fuses to find an outlet through
legitimate channels of society and
in cooperation with other groups-
it moves to more radical, extreme
and bitter positions.

THE THING THAT keeps on pushm' (despite all the intricacies of
heavy acid rock) is the revival of early rock: the ditties that were
proliferating the market into the sweaty little hands of teenage girls
who overnight claimed passionate love to Elvis Presley.
But before and during the King's reign as number one, some sta-
tions were broadcasting music of the really early rock period — the
Ifegroes.
Today these same people are "soul people," but theirs was as
dominating an underground as is today's.
Carry yourself back. Pick up on what may seem totally non-involved.
Rock music just to feel -and not really pretend attention anymore.

in all of the aforementioned. To the right direction, then a few to

Accepting a teaching position at
a boy's school on a small Greek
island, Michael Gaine moves into
a veritable hell/heaven upon a
planned-chance meeting with The
Magus.
As Nicholas Urf, Caine assumes
the job previously held by a sui-
cide, and not so reluctantly con-
sidering a rather sudden and un-
attached rejection of love. (Anna
Karina). So Urf makes his hope-
ful-remorseful retreat to the is-
land.
John. Fowles (The Collector) has
adapted his novel for the screen,
assuming a bit much of the
American film-goer. Fowles forgot
that not all Americans read, and
being that "The Magus" a faith-
ful transfer to the screen.
The argument is on. Does a
film maker dare to make a faith-
ful translation from one media
to the next?
I can't help but feel for those
who turned the pages of Charles
Webb's "The Graduate" after
having praised the film. Mike
Nichol's directorial efforts have
placed "The Graduate" at the
number three moneymaking film
of all time. And yet the adapta-
tion isn't true.
Revered John Huston placed his
mark last year on Carson McCuI-
ler's "Reflections in a Golden
Eye" and continued the so very
low-key of Miss McCullers writ-
ing that the American critics
panned it.
Now it seems that "The Magus"
has made it from the printed
page to the celluloid with no det-
rimental alteration.
Fowles' magician Conchis (pro-
nounced conscious?) controls.
Conchis (Anthony Quinn) sets the
trap to entice Caine to his house—
doesn't he? He is a doctor in
pursuit of a breakthrough in the
treatment of schizophrenics—isn't
he?
Caine is trapped into accepting
what he is told or disbelieving
and being resultantly curious. He
gambles between life and de$&
and loses. Can there be justifica-
tion for refusal to die?
A six hundred page novel can-
not be reduced to a two-hour film
without deletion. Consequently,
Conchis' and Urf's relationship H
drawn heavily while Caine's
spurned love Anna Karina and
Candice Bergen's mentally ta-
balanced girl (isn't she) are rele-
gated to less delineation and ex-
planation.
The Magus metes out Quinn,
Caine, Bergen, and Karina and
what is left is a most potato
film in an arid year.

Athletic Department 'Can't Get Together'
About a month ago, James Arpin, a member
of the PBJC baseball team, chased after a fly
ball in right field and smashed into the fence at
full ^peed,
Arpin was not badly injured, but was as he put
it "just pretty sore."
A warning track might have avoided this acci-
dent.
The baseball field itself had just 'been completely
renovated prior to opening game and notice was
taken of the lack of a warning track.
According to Athletic Director Ray Daugherty
the cost of the renovation was in excess of $10,000
and that "a warning track would be installed as
soon as we can get the maintenance."
Baseball Coach Mel Edgerton commented that
he was not worried too much about a warning
track, but stressed the need to build up the infield
as the mound is 'low and there is a lack of dirt.
"There is an element of risk in anything," said
Edgerton, "a player could easily slip in the warn-
ing track. What we need Is to have the infield
built up."
It appears that the Athletic Department cannot
get together.
After this reporter inquired about the warning
Tom Sherman
Sports Analysis
track, a reasonable facsimile of one was installed
before the next game.
Daugherty also answered in response to the ques-
tion of trees in center field.
"We asked that the Australian Pines completely
surround the outfield merely for background."
As a result trees were planted of which even
Daugherty himself doesn't know the name.
"We recommend one thing and get another."
There is an answer to all this, namely— funds.
With the renovation of the field, a great deal of
money was spent, and things must be taken one
step at a time.
Hopefully, dugouts will be installed, for if they
aren't, it is very easy for a player to catch a foul
ball in the head. Then more than just funds would
be needed, namely — prayers.
If one looks at a PBJC basketball schedule, he'll
notice it specifies the school colors of "green and
gold."
With the result of this season, the colors should,
perhaps be changed to "black and blue."
Many college coaches had termed the Pacers as
"the team to beat" this year, and that they had
the most potential of any team in the state.
The Pacers however, did not live up to their
expectations, and as a result, completed the sea-
son with seven wins against fifteen losses and a
three-nine record in their division.
Throughout their season, they held as much as
a sixteen point lead in various games only to have
it diminish in the waning moments of play.
Lack of cohesion, dissention, not being in shape,
being optimistic, falling apart in the crucial mo-
ments and unorthodox game strategy could be sum-
med up as the reasons for the Pacers "letting
the air out of the balloon."
The Pacers performed as a losing team — looking
good at times and bad the rest.
However, whatever the reason may be for their
downfall, 'Coach Jim Tanner is without doubt, the
better judge.

MEN'S TENNIS
There is a tiger running loose
on the campus of PBJC these
days. It's a "tiger instinct" that
men's tennis coach Harris Mc-
Girt is instilling in his players,
getting them psychologically pre-
pared to beat their opponents.
"There's no letting up in ten-
nis," McGirt commented. "You
either beat him or he'll beat you.
You've got to want to win."
McGirt was quick to stress the
team's improvement in terms of
experience. "The lack of college
experience hurt us at first, but
we're improving greatly." "The
teams are strong," added McGirt,
"but we hope to win in singles
and not rely on doubles that
much."
The next home game is Tues-
day, March 11 at 1 p.m. with the
Pacers playing host to Miami-
Dade South.

'Comber Feature Editor
The situdent casts of "Anti-
gone" and "Henry VIII" gave
memorable performances in last
week's run of the second major
theatrical production of the col-
lege season, "Royal Roulette."
Patricia Nagy, who played the
title role of Antigone in the first
of the two short plays, did an
excellent job in her portrayal of
the proud and stubborn girl. 'Her
understanding of the struggle
within the plot was evident as she
brought the character to life.
Since the story is that of a
king study and the tyranny to
which lie succumbs, attention
must be paid to his part.
Gig Kramer was well-cast as
Crean, King of Thebes. From
the moment of his Introduction to
the audience, his authority and
will were inevitable. His tragedy
was the costliest of all.
The audience reaction to King
Morrison's performance as the
first guard was of a humorous
nature. It provided a type of re-
lief from the highly emotional
story.
Had some laughter not been in-
terspersed, a very uneasy audi-
ence would have faced the inter-
mission, so intense was the trag-
edy.
Then a double cast took the
stage to present "Henry VIII,"
an adaptation of Hermann Gres-
sieker's "Royal Gambit." The use
of a "regular" cast on stage, and
a "ghost" cast of dancers pro-
vided the play-goer with an ex-
citing new aspect of theatre in
this area.
John Schneider's portrayal of
Henry VIII was both amusing and
moving. The onlooker saw in Mm
modern man and a famous king
of English history. The actor car-
ried the aitdlence very well and
left no one disappointed.
As to the six wives of Henry,
each actress did a fine job in
her respective role. Each seemed
to have been "'born" for her
part, both in characterization
and in physical appearance.
Connie Middleton, who played
Henry's German wife Anne of
Cleves, had a definite raport with
the audience. Her role was quite
comical and yet somewhat sad
also.
Anne Boleyn, portrayed by
Laura Lee Athey, was the haugh-
tiest of the king's six wives. Jane
Seymore, whose part was taken
by Janis Spadaeene, was perhaps
the most quiet.
Lindy Zellner created a realistic
image of the wife, Kathryn How-
ard. Katarina of Aragon and Kate
Parr, played by Bobbie Ohuilli
and Peg Joyner respectively,
were Henry's lasting wives.
The costume design of "Henry
VIII" was superb, in color and
mood. Each costume "fit" its in-
dividual character.
The "ghost" cast of dancers,
under the direction of Mrs. Lou
Meyer, performed an excelled
modern interpretation of the
theme of the play.
Special commendation shou!S
go to the lighting crew for their
job well done in what was tfce
most technically complex produc-
tion in lighting to have been see:
on campus. The special effects, t
such as the live music, are als
to be commended. The entire pre
duction staff did a fine job.

Registration Extended
Into A Drop-Add Week
by Suzanne Lash
'Comber News Editor
The Registration Committee,
concerned over the confusion and
problems created by the exten-
sion of registration into a "drop
and add week", and realizing .that
there aire still valid reasons for
schedule; changes, Ms announced
a new schedule correction proce-
dure to be initiated in Spring
Term I.
The new procedure does not
recognize any complaints or re-
quests for instructor changes after
registration has been completed.
There will be, however, facilities
maintained for the week follow-
ing} registration to correct sched-
ule conflicts not eliminated by pre-
vious machine and manual checks.
IFor the spring term, the dates
of May 9 through 12 have been
as.9i.gned for schedule correction.
Those conflicts necessitating cor-
reotion are class drops, course
conflicts, multiple schedule,
courses cancelled, additions to
schedules and withdrawals from
school. ...

•Comber Associate Editor
After long hours of dissention
among students, two dress code
committee meetings, and many at-
tempts at legislation, the Student
Senate passed a resolution Tues-
day recommending, a change in
the present dress code policy.
The resolution advocates the al-
lowance of long sideburns, shorts
and slacks for men and women
during the spring terms, and
shorts and slacks in the PBJC
library after 6:00 p.m.
The proposed changes are now
to be sent to the Faculty Senate
for consideration.
If passed, these changes would
go into effect for 1969-1970 school
year.
The actual presentation of this
resolution to the student senate
is a direct result of the dress
code committee meetings.
This committee is composed of
the three deans of student person-
nel and members of the student
government; Ed DeBellevue, Bill
Wilkerson, and Karen Moore.
When this committee was
formed, through a resolution
passed by the SGA Senate, it was
hoped that they could create a
joint SGA-Student Personnel state-
ment pn the revision of the dress
code. This statement would then
scheduling corrections. This elim-
inates the long lines and gives the
students a place to wait without
standing in interminal lines.
Students pick up official class
schedules in the South SAC area
and report to the clerical offices
in the North SAC for correction.
Those seeking drops or changes
because of conflicts where all
other sections of the course are
closed must seek the approval of
their department head before
making changes in the North
SAC.
"It is hoped that these new pro-
cedures will make it easier for
these students to make the neces-
sary corrections and still not des-
troy the counseling they have
had," the committee reports.
Students will still have the op-
portunity to change classes for in-
structor preference or to reject
their entire schedule before regis-
tration. The addition of the man-
ual check at this .time, in addition
to the regular machine check, is
also intended to decrease the num-
ber of corrections necessary the
following week.
be sent to the student and faculty
senate for consideration.
This plan was shown to be in-
feasible when the Deans of Stu-
dent Personnel issued a written
memorandum stating that they
supported the present dress code
and would favor no change.
From then on all hopes of cre-
ating a joint system were crushed.
At this point, Ed DeBellevue, a
student member of the committee,
in conjunction with SGA presi-
dent Rodney Smith, conducted a
poll as to the students opinions
of present dress standards.
The poll determined that 81% of
those questioned favored a change
in the present policy.
Those changes receiving more
than 50% of the vote were the
allowance of: long sideburns,
shorts and slacks for men and
women during the spring terms,
and the continuing allowance of
neatly trimmed moustaches.
Taking mto consideration the re-
sults of the poll, talks with the
faculty and area businessmen, the
policies of other junior colleges,
and the feasibility of changes,
the students on the dress code
committee proposed the resolu-
tion.
Circle-K first In State;
Wilkerson Homed Secretary
Circle K Club of PBJC was
named as the number one club
in the state at their recent con-
vention in Cocoa Beach.
Thirty-four campus members
attended the Florida District Cir-
cle K Convention which saw the
club garner 1,000 out of a possible
1,350 points as well as have a
member elected to a district of-
fice.
Sophomore Bill Wilkerson, and
past president, was elected sec-
retary of the Florida District
The PBJC club placed in every
event it entered.
It was awarded first place in
cumulative service, second place
in the single service project cate-
gory, second place on its scrap-
book, third place in the inter-
club category, and third place on
Its newsletter.
In addition, Richard Torde was
awarded first place as the best
secretary in the state. Jim Moon
was elected the man of the year.
In the oratory contest Paul
Buxton placed second in the state.
This is the first time that any
club has been number one in the
state more than one time. The
PBJC club received this honor
in 1965-1966 under the presidency
of Ken Nemeth.
SGA helped Circle K to finance
their attendance at the conven-
tion. This was done after several
controversial weeks of argument
over whether or not to award ar-
ete K one hundred and eighty-
three dollars to help defray ex-
pense costs.
The bill finally was passed, al-
ter the senate overrode Pjw*"*
Rodney Smith's veto, and Circle
K wound up with the largest con-
vention delegation.
Final vote on the resolution
showed eighteen in favor of, one
against, and one abstention.

Exist For The Student
The BEACHCOMBER has been informed— via telephone
message from Athletic Director Ray Daugherty, that neither
he nor his staff will no longer cooperate with BEACH-
COMBER reporters.
His reasons for the boycott presumably stem from an
article published in the March 10 issue of the 'Comber, in
which a sports reporter pointed out a difference of opinion
in reference to needs related to the recently completed base-
ball field.
Reliable sources have informed us that he has also re-
layed his displeasure (again by telephone) to a local daily
newspaper concerning their coverage of PBJC athletics.
His decree could have serious repercussions to a worth-
while student funded program if members of his staff were
to carrry out his orders.
We have learned that Mr. Daugherty did not consult
his staff concerning this policy, nor did it represent their
thinking.
We would like to point out that the PBJC athletic depart-
ment in its present situation needs publicity, not only from the
Beachcomber but also from the outside press.
The Beachcomber is committed to express the voice of
the students, for we, like the athletic program, are funded
by student fees.
It is our thinking that the Beachcomber, the athletic
department and all student funded programs should exist
for the students and not because of them.

Tutors Offered
Phi Theta Kappa, the national
junior college honorary scholastic
society, is promoting good scholar-
ship at BPJC by offering free
tutoring service in various sub-
jects to all students who are in-
terested in improving their grades.
Almosl every subject is cov-
ered by the program. Some of
these are foreign languages, so-
cial sciences, math, music, data
processing, and creative writing
Students who wish to receive help
should check the list of courses
and tutors that are posted in
the library, in the guidance office,
and in the SAC lounge. He then
should call a tutor of the subject
in which he needs help and ar-
range a meeting that will be con-
venient to both parties.

Sigma Epsilon Mu, national jun-
ior college math, science, and en-
gineering fraternity is now accept-

Former Businessman Advocate
Present Dress Policy At PBJC
Editor:
Allow me to take die trouble to
write your "Voice of the Read-
ers" and say that there should
not be any remarks made about
your dress code.
It is probably one of the nicest
assets you will have in the two
important years you will spend
at PBJC. . .
The attractive appearance of
your school and the student body
is apparent to any visitor. You
up-grade yourselves.
It is certain that you want to
raise your personal standards. Of
the few who do not, let it be
said: just don't associate with
them.
There are always two or more
kinds of people.
In the past year I have visited
quite a few colleges including
Montana State at Bozeman, Wash-
ington State at Seattle, William
and Mary, Princeton and Arizona.
All the students try to dress
well. The hippies are out.
The answer is "We don't associ-
ate with them."
Don't be foolish and believe in
"class " Do not let them lower
you to their own level.
Over 5,000 years ago clothing
ceased to be mere environmental
protection and became adornment.
Adornment is one of the main
functions of clothing. The wildest
people adorn themselves.
The human body is usually not
a thing of beauty by itself unless
it is cultivated and dressed up.
Remember that beauty is loved
and gets more in this world than
ugliness.
Before becoming a busy retiree,
I had been in some of the tough-
est competitive sections of the
business field and know from ex-
perience that you never go wrong
looking your best.
It makes you, places you and
helps your inner self rise aLwe
a lesser individual by power of
self-confidence.
Most of us that know don't be-
lieve in the "class struggle" be-
cause we know that nobody builds
themselves up by tearing down
somebody else.
It's joining the crowd and work-
ing together that get us the things
we need in life.
It is undoubtedly the best r_
to dress well, look well and k
well. Over the years you tnll
tract more money.

Let High School Studenl
Be Permitted At Dance
Editor:
We the Brothers Alpha Phi have
an obligation to the school and
the community to carry out our
pledge of supplying two scholar-
ships of $125.00 per semester. One
through public solicitation to
merchants of the county by the
members of Alpha Phi, and one
through our annual scholarship
dance, which is through donation
only from participants.
These scholarships go to any
graduation sophomore according
to need and scholastic standing.
These scholarships do not go to
any brother or relative of any
member past or present.
We hope that you realize the
appreciative value of these schol-
arships to the people who need
them.
Without these scholarships these
students may not continue their
education because they are not
financially able.
The primary purpose of our an-
nual scholarship dance is to raise
the second scholarship — the only
possible way for this to be ac-
complished is by donations at the
door by the people who come

Prepares Students For Higher Moth Courses
Lab Installed To Prevent Math Dropouts
by Suzanne Lash
'Comber News Editor
Hoping to cut down on the num-
ber of people who fail or drop
from Math courses as a result of
discouragement or a deficiency in
math, the Mathematics depart-
ment has augmented a Math Lab-
oratory and remedial course to
go into effect in the fall term.
The program will offer students
an opportunity to seek special as-
sistance in their regular courses
and provide those specially moti-
vated the facilities for personal
research and enrichment,
The course, MS-090, offered In
conjunction with the Lab will
serve as a preparation for those
students not prepared to enter
MS-106 or 110.
These students will be selected
by means of testing and enrolled
in 090. If, at the end of the first
six weeks they have shown on a
proficiency test a capability to en-
ter 106 or 110, and if their sched-
ule permits, they will be placed
in special sections of those
courses, opened at that time.
The classes out of necessity,
meet five times a week to com-
plete the course requirements by
the end of the term.
Emphasis in the program is be-
ing placed on personal contact be-
tween the student and instructor
and regular testing to determine
progress and provide encourage-
ment.
"Rather than letting students
start and then fail or drop, we're
going to test them in advance and
those who look like they will have
trouble, will be offered MS-O90,'*
explained Mr. Robert Yount, of
the Math Department.
"Those who are not ready to
enter the regular course in six
weeks can continue in the Lab
until the end of the term at which
time their progress will be re-
evaluated," he continued.
In addition to the remedial
course, which counts as a cred-
ited course, though is not
transferable and will not fulfill
the general education require-
ments, the Math Lab is available
to any student on campus desir-
ing to avail himself of it,
Davies Explores Problems
Of Religious Education
Dr. Sidney Davies described
the major problem encountered
at a recent meeting in Orlando
concerning religion in public
schools and in schools of higher
learning as "teaching religion in
schools as such, rather than with
a denominational emphasis."
"It should be taught as a regu-
lar course such as English or Bi-
ology is taught," he added.
The group of educators from
Florida junior colleges and uni-
versities and several out of state
institutions, met March 6, 7 and
8 to study the problems of teach-
ing religion in universities and
junior colleges.
The first problem considered is
that of adequate trained person-
nel.
The second involved a study of
the proper curriculum involved
in junior college.
The university is concerned
about the quality of the course
being offered in the junior col-
lege. This concern is reflected in
a third problem concerning the
transfer of credit in religion.
Dr. Davies stated that religion
is "interwoven Into the social and
cultural life of man; you can-
not take one from the other. You
must study the whole man."
"Man is inevitably and incur-
ably religious," he continued.
The problem of religion in schools
today is not prayer but teaching
it as a "regular subject; the
primitive groups, the living re-
ligions, and effects on social and
cultural life."
In various committee meetings
at the conference suggestions
were made to investigate text-
books, the authenticity of teach-

content and organization, effec-
tiveness of message and deliv-
ers, the standards met and the
methods of teaching.
In a further meeting discus-
sion concerned religion in public
schools from junior high to high
school.
Broward county now has a pro-
gram offering religion as a course
to junior high and high school
students. There has been good
family reaction toward the "Bible
as Literature" approach.
"The fear is that there will be
a denominational idea forced up-
on the individual. This is caus-
ing the commotion," said Dr.
Davies. "We cannot get away
from religion in schools. It is in-
volved in everything; history, lit-
erature and the social sciences,"
he added.

O'Connell Denies Recognition To The SSOC
by Sam Pepper
'Comber Edttor-in-ChM
A crowd of more than 400 peo-
ple, who didn't care to "stay
home and listen to election re-
turns" last November 5, gathered
in front of the University of Flor-
ida's Tigert HaH to stage what
they called an anti-political rally.
A dime store flag was burned,
along with a number of cards
(supposedly draft cards).
A march on the hall was also
initiated. Although cries of "Take
Tigert" were heard, no attempt
Was made to enter the locked
building.

■grant the chapter, recognition as
an official student organization.
After much delay the issue was
sent to the Committee on Student
Organizations appointed by Uni-
versity President, Stephen C.
O'Connell, for an open hearing.
The committee, which was com-
prised of five faculty members
and four students, had the task
of making recommendations to
O'Connell concerning the results
of the hearing.
The committee in a five to four
majority vote, approved the SSOC
application.
According to Rush E, Choate,
chairman of the committee, rec-
ognition was based on the assur-
ance by SSOC that it would
function "within the channels of
procedure at the university and
must refrain from disruption of
any university operation."
"It must conduct its activities
free from violence and in a law-
ful and peaceful manner," added
Choate, "if it does not follow
these rules, recognition can be
withdrawn."
SSOC Chairman, Ed Freeman
pointed out that the main reason
the organization was seeking rec-
ognition "is tp entitle SSOC to
use university facilities for meet-
ings and seminars."
"A chartered organization would
also be able to apply to Student
Government for money," Free-
man added.

Organizing a student strike
until administrators stop the ac-
tivity of certain recruiters, re-
searchers, training classes, police
action, or their own reprisals.
Naturally, this list is not meant
to be inclusive of all the SDS
tactics, only the most common.
Also there are no set formulas
for deciding which tactics to use
in any given situation.
The problem is not whether or
not one makes enemies, but
whether or not one has the right
people for enemies.
dent publication THE FLORIDA
ALLIGATOR stated in an tt
torial, "members of the Ital
SSOC chapter do not fit the m&
of the national image. They art
plain and simple, and non-viote
in philosophy and in practice."
"The time to decide that SSOC
should not be allowed offlttf
membership in the universe
community," the editorial <to
tinued, "is after it violates k
rules of working for construe!?!
change through established d»
nels, not before."
A month later, O'Connell daW
recognition to SSOC.
The decision denied SSOC; &
privilege of using campus facili-
ties, inviting guest speakers vi
receiving money from studtt
government, O'Connell stated.
It was reported that 0'Coniwlli
decision was influenced by \ r i«
President of Student Affairs L»
ter Hale's report which polotsf
out that:
• SSOC is not a student gm;
because its membership is not ft
stricted to students.
• SSOC does not use exlsfcj
representative structures for pc-
litical actions,
• SSOC did not deny that is
sources of power was "the sc-
iential ability to stop the unlvK
sity from functioning.
In response, SSOC dedfttd
themselves "officially recognlia?
oh the campus, because tkf
were "recognized by the pHjfe

FSU's Marshall Refuses SDS Grant,
Enumerates Reasons For Dec/sloi
by Sam Pepper
'Comber Editor-in-Chief
Last month, SDS's bid for rec-
ognition at Florida State Uni-
versity was strangled by acting
president of the university, Stan-
ley Marshall.
Citing several reasons for his
decision, including threats to dis-
obey the rules of the university
and implications that there would
be violence, Marshall listed five
points favoring recognition of
SDS and then enumerated five
points in opposition to SDS.
The following points were taken
from a report in FSU's student
newspaper, THE FLAMBEAU.
PRO SDS
1. There appears to be nothing
legally objectionable in the na-
tional or local constitution of
SDS.
2. Florida is one of the few—
perhaps the only state— in which
a public university has arbitrarily
denied recognition to SDS. This
could result In a loss of respect
in the national academic commu-
nity and perhaps in the commu-
nity at large.
3. Failure to give the organiza-
tion official recognition gives SDS
students a convenient cause for
the headlines they seek.
4. Whether the administration
officially recognizes it or not,
SDS, in fact exists on campus.
5. FSU is a strong and viable
democratic Institution which has
no need to fear dissent in what-
ever form it occurs. "The order-
ly kind it welcomes, the dis-
orderly kind it can control."
CON SDS
1. Although national and local
constitutions reflect no unlawful
purposes, statements of national
officers have advocated violence
and destruction.
2, The national organization
and its leaders who have been
shown to be destructive will be
strengthened by the establish-
ment of a chapter at FSU.
3. Those purporting to be p
members have failed to '"
reasonable and clearly establish
procedures on the campus la ft
cent weeks.
4. SDS's failure to appeal fcf
original denial of recognition n
Vice President John An»|
raises serious questions about m
group's desire to participate!*
structively in the academic es
munity.
5. There are existing umversr
regulations applicable to all »
dent organizations with which ^
SDS application appears to ®
flict.
Marshall termed his. dec!
"subjective judgment," rapw
him to go beyond the fouresr
of the Board of Regents OF
ating Manual. w
His speech was met with J*
applause as only 30 student^
parted after his decision
reached.

The Pacer golf team picked up
their first loss of the season as
they fell victim to Miami-Dade
South, 311 to 326.
Despite the team's loss, Jim
Harmon led the Pacer's scoring
with an excellent 77 on the treach-
erous Palmetto Country Club
course. An over abundance of
lakes and sandtraps caused many
of the scores to soar.
Some of the other Palm Beach
scores were: Don Nelson, 81;
Steve Pearson, 84; and Bob Mc-
Tammany, 84.
In a tournament played two
days later, March 8 in Lake Plac-
id, the Pacers avenged their ear-
lier defeat to Miami-Dade South
by beating them by two strokes.
At the same time, the golf team
lost to both Edison and Miami-
Dade North.
The team scores were; Miami-
Dade North, 303; Edison, 326; PB
JC, 334; and Miami-Dade South,
338.
Bruce Fleisher, the National
Amateur Champion, led MDN to
victory with a 74, the lowest score
of the day over the windswept
course. Four shots behind was
Bobby McTammany, the lowest
PB player. His 78 was followed
by Pete Balon, 85; Jim Harmon,

If Spring Demand Is Demonstrated
Intramural Program To Operate
by Tom Sherman
'Comber KpoiN Editor
The I-R department announced
last week that a modified intra-
mural program based on student
demand is being planned for the
Spring Term 1.
The gymnasium is to be avail-
able for free use by students dur-
ing the activity period which is
from 11:00 to 11:45 at which time
students may check out equip-
ment and utilize the facilities.
Also at this time the tennis
courts, archery range, horseshoe
pits, and when completed, soft-
ball diamonds, may be available.
Bell said that the only require-
ments to use these facilities is that
the student sign in each time he
uses a facility and wear tihe ap-
propriate clothing in participat-
ing in those events and activities.
It was also learned that should
a sufficient number of students
request a tournament in an ac-
tivity, the I-R Board shall be
more than willing to act as spon-
sor.
"There also may be time avail-
able after school," commented
Bell, "however, students should
work in pairs in such things as
judo, karate, badminton and ten-
nis."
Challenged tournaments are al-
so to be held and students may
challenge each other for a spring
championship.
Also, if organizations wish to
hold tournaments in particular
events, Bell stated that one day
each week, of the six weeks pe-
riod may be reserved.
Bell mentioned that there may
also be, on a recreation basis,
a schoolwide picnic, returning to
the former "Beach - A - Que" at
John Prince Park. Bell stressed
however, that this would not be
possible if the finances did not
permit.
Bell also said (finances permit-
ting) "we may try water skiing
for another event. We do hope
the students use our facilities such
as tennis, badminton, table tennis,
and the gym. The faculty may
also use our facilities providing
their schedules permit."
The program is one of the 'bet-
ter ways for students to get full
use of their activity fee.
The facilities are there — Mon-
day through Friday. Why not use
them?
Patrick Comes Through
For PBK When Needed
When coach Bobbie Knowles
talks about the depth of this
year's women's tennis team, she
is referring to players like Kathy
Patrick.
Kathy, known affectionately as
"The Kong" because of her tre-
mendous strength and endurance,
has been a major contributing
factor in the team's 4-3 record
at present.
Although she is ranked only
number 6 on the team, Kathy has
really come through for the Pac-
ers when they needed it.
When number 4 player, Joanne
Rogers, was out for two matches
with a broken rib, Kathy stepped
in. She easily won her match
against Indian River and played
extremely well in a losing cause
at Miami-Dade South.
Even though she doesn't play
singles regularly, Kathy does play
an important role in the doubles.
"We rely heavily on our dou-
bles to win matches for us," says
Miss Knowles, "and it just could
be that our doubles will carry
us to a third or fourth place
finish in the state tournament
next month."
At present, the number 2 dou-
bles team of Patrick and Gail
Marcurn have lost only twice.
Both matches were extremely
close (Dade South 6-2, 4-6, 7-5
and Dade North 6-4, 7-5), and
Marcurn and Patrick are confi-

dent they can pull some upsets in
the state tournament.
"In fact, we plan on winning
our division," say Gail and
Kathy.
What's it like playing doubles
with "The Kong"?
According to her partner,
"Kathy is easy to play with. She
is a natural athlete and a terrific
competitor. She never "gives up,
and I think that's why we win so
many matches. If Kathy is having
a good day, her opponents had
better beware. She hits the ball
so hard that I'm just glad she's
on my sidel"
Kathy Patrick is only a fresh-
man, as are number 3 Maria
Cartaya and number 4 Joanne
Rogers.
With such depth, it looks like
the women netters should be
pretty well set for next year.
Add Maria Montero, Gall Mar-
curn and Aleen Westgate to the
picture, and the outlook for the
upcoming state tournament
doesn't look too bad for the only
team at PBJC with a winning
record.

PBJC Offers Accredited Foreign Study Plan
by Lorraine Ljunggren
'Comber Feature Editor
Stratford -on -Avon, where William Shakespeare
once walked and wrote, the Sistine Chapel where
Michelangelo created one of the greatest mas-
terpieces of art the world has ever seen, and
Athens, where the great Greek classics were per-
formed at the Theater of Dionysus.
These foreign and romantic places are but a
very few of those students have the opportunity
to visit this summer in a foreign study plan.
The program, initiated by the American Inter-
national Academy of Salt Lake City, Utah about
twelve vears ago, is a new experience for the
Florida "junior college system.
PBJC is the first to incorporate these trips to
Europe as accredited courses.
A tour under the supervision of Watson B. Dun-
can III, Chairman of the Communications Depart-
ment offers 3 hours of credit in EH-201 (English
Literature before 1680) or EH-202 (English Litera-
ture after 1660).
Students leave New York City, Kennedy Airport,
on July 4, 1969, with the first stop being Ireland.
A total of nine days will be spent there visit-
ing several cities, studying authors of the Emerald
Isle.
Scotland is the next destination, where the group
is scheduled to stay five days with their base being
in Edinburgh.
Eleven days are to be spent in London where
students will be able to not only pursue their
studies, but to attend the theatres of London, where
Shakespeare's works were performed.
A short flight to Switzerland and then on to
Munich, Germany, for the final two days in Europe
before the flight home August 12, 1969.
The English Literature trip costs the student
$800 plus his own transportation to New York.
A special tour for the Drama Department is
being offered for the first time this year. Josh
Crane, Director of Forensics, is the faculty mem-
ber accompanying this tour.
This is being offered for SP-103 (Introduction
to the Theatre) and carries three hours of credit
also. The course surveys various kinds of drama,
past and present.
Students leave from West Palm Beach, or Or-
lando, on June 22, bound for Rome.
A Mediterranean excursion to Greece finds 4fte
participants high atop the Acropolis. Back to Rome
for various tours, on to Florence, Venice .and tfien
Munich.
The city of Paris offers the Louvre Museum
and the Eiffel Tower.
On to London and the surrounding countryside
for nine days to wrap up the trip. Students leave
for Florida on July 31.
The cost of this course is $995 which includes
round trip jet transportation from Florida to Eu-
rope, room and board.
For the lover of fine art, 'there is a study pro-
gram offering AT-115 (a special combination of
the History and Appreciation of Art course). Mrs.
J6 Gray, of the Art Department, conducts the tour.
The group leaves Florida and flies to Rome on
June 22. They follow the same basic route as the
drama tour.
The cost of this program is $870 inclusive.
Any student who is interested in taking one of
these tours should see the instructor mentioned
above for an application, or the registrar.
Persons must be accepted for admission to PBJC
to be eligible. These courses may be audited.

next week.
SGA has allotted five hundred
dollars for the purchase of books
which are to be donated to the
PBJC library, it was announced
Thursday.
SGA President Rodney Smith
said that the Florida News Cor-
poration, gave them a 35 per cent
discount which makes the gift
amount to about seven hundred
dollars worth of books.
Smith stated that the books are
being purchased for the library
donation in an attempt to dis-
tribute SGA funds received from
the student activity fee more
equitably so that all PBJC stu-
dents may benefit from their
monies.
About 130 books were selected
with a wide range of topics.
Mr. Douglas and Mr. Roberts
of the PBJC library helped Smith
with the purchasing.
"However," Smith commented,
"I did most of the selecting be-
cause Mr. Douglas and Mr. Rob-
erts wanted the students views
on the type of books to be pur-
chased."
A marquee has also been pur-
chased for the school from SGA
funds. The marquee is to be
placed near the road 'beside the
college auditorium. Another mar-
quee purchased at the same time
by Thi Del will be placed out-
side 'the north SAC lounge. The
cost of the two marquees was si
hundred dollars.

The TV broadcasts with the new

along with the new spacesuits.
This was also the first time
the astronauts slept and tried to
eat together during a flight, and
found it too proved successful
The immensely complicated
Mission is over. It faced many
hazards but overcame them.
The evaluation^ now the only
thing remaining before the "go!"
is given for Apollo 10, the last
lunar flight before landing on the
Moon.
.Let it be noted, that this mis-
sion was the climax to the entire
space effort prior to a lunar land-
ing, the most ambitious flight
ever flown by man.
Dr. Von Braun, director of the
Goddard Space Flight Center, and
probably the world's most noted
scientist, commented in an inter-
view with the Beachcomber, "that
within the next ten years man
will be ready to land on another
planet, probably Mars,"
He also said that, "presently,
exploration probes are under con-
struction to soft land on the 'Red
Planet' just as we have been do-
ing prior to landing men on the
lunar surface."
In my opinion, it ia not a ques-
tion of, if we can afford the space
program, but if we do not have
it? Science, industry, and educa-
tion have benefited more in the
past 10 years than in all past his-
tory.
Not too long ago Buck Rogers
was a great imaginary space hero
and space travel was a dream,
but today that dream is a real-
ity.
Perhaps, we can call this void
of space a paradox. Para mean-
ing beyond and dox meaning
thinking, beyond the thinking of
man.
Possibly, the whole problem
about space is that we are mov-
ing into the unknown with its
unseen perils and its untapped
bonanzas.

Bob Mandell, pushing past close
contender Cliff Burdette with a
narrow 34 vote margin, garnered
134 votes to become the new SGA
president.
When the votes were tallied, the
results were Mandell, 134 votes,
Burdette 100, and Dennis Pearce,
33
The vice-presidential, secretary,
and treasurer races were not so
exciting, as all three were unop-
posed.
Vice-president elect Bill Gra-
ham obtained 251 votes, with Sec-
retary elect Debi Uglow receiv-
ing 232, and Treasurer elect Vicki
Gersch getting 239.
In other results, all Amend-
ments to the Constitution passed
and the results of the student
opinion poll, calling for a day-
time Afro - American Workshop,
were favorable.
An unusually small turnout of
327 students cast their ballots in
an election which will go down as
a first in PBJC history.
Not only was the voter turnout
almost a record low, and not only
were three offices unopposed, but
also, for the first time, a candi-
date was disqualified for violat-
ing election rules.
Vincent Matteis was disquali-
fied for displaying a poster in an
illegal area on election day.
When the results were an-
nounced, Mandell, with a broad
grin on his face, could only stut-
ter, "Well, I'll 'be damned!"
However, as soon as Larry Win-
ter, Chairman of the Elections
Board finished his announcement,
Matteis submitted to him a writ-
ten statement contesting the elec-
tion.
Matteis contested on the grounds
that polls did not open and close
at the time specified in the elec-
tion rules, that there was no offi-
cial timekeeper during the candi-
dates speeches, and that other
candidates had posters up in il-
legal places on election days.
The Elections Board, made up
of Winter, Paul Buxton, and Jim
Van Gilder reviewed the appeal
and later issued a statement
denying the request for an entire
new election.
Their proclamation states that
due to technical difficulties the
polls did not open until 8:30 on
April 2, and to compensate for
■this, the poll in the SAC Lounge
remained open until 4 p.m.
Matteis, along with the Election
Board, will be permitted to take
this matter on to the Judicial De-
partment today for final review
and decision.
When informed of the election
Board's denial of the appeal, Mat-
teis turned to Chairman Winter
and commented, "You don't know
what you have done. I have to
warn you— this is not a threat,
but you have opened the door to
Pandora's box."
Through all this, President-elect
Bob Mandell just sat back and
waited. When informed of Mat-

High Building Costs
Delay Bid Awards
A special meeting of the Palm
Beach Junior College Board of
Trustees, Thursday, 7:30 p.m., at
the college, will consider for a
second time a problem brought
about by the current high price
of building.
The board will hear the report
of a committee headed by mem-
ber Maynard C. Hamblin which
has been examining possible al-
ternatives open to the board af-
ter recent bids on two major
buildings far exceeded available
funds.
At a meeting on March 13, the
board learned that the proposed
new Administration Building, es-
timated at $425,000 had been bid
at $639,890, and that the Food
Service Management Building, es-
timated at $185,000, would cost
$353,832.
A committee of Hamblin, Board
Chairman Richard D. Hill, Dr.
Harold C. Manor, PBJC president,
was appointed to review all pos-
sible alternatives prior to a de-
cision.
The trustees will be asked to ap-
prove a request for discussion
with the county school board and
superintendent of any county
school facilities in the northern
part of the county which might
become available in the near fu-
ture.
The college has purchased a site
on Monet Road for a future
North Campus, but might possibly
find use for temporary facilities
while funds are being accumulat-
ed for erecting the new campus.
The trustees are also to be asked
to approve planning for Vocation-
al and Technical Grants for the
coming year-

Above The Rules
Wednesday, SGA presidential candidate Vincent Matteis
was disqualified from the race by the Elections Board for
displaying campaign posters in an illegal area.
Thursday afternoon the election was contested by Mat-
teis on grounds that the election board had violated their
own election rules^
It seems that the entire controversy may have been avoid-
ed if the election rules would have been drafted in a less
severe manner.
We feel that the rules should have included a statement
which could have provided an opportunity for candidates
who have been accused of violations to present their side of
the case, to have a hearing.
We also feel that neither the Elections Board nor Mat-
teis is to blame for the unfortunate situation which has been
created. We applaud the Elections Board for adhering to the
rules they approved by disqualifying a candidate who was
in violation of them.
However, their decision to deny Matteis's appeal to in-
validate the election puts them above the rules they have
drafted. It seems that the only way to prevent this from
happening, in the future is to amend the election rules.
Editor:
Henry Clay, one of America's
great statesmen, once said, in his
bid for the presidency of the
U.S., "I would rather be right
than president."
It would appear that the hier-
archy of this school's administra-
tion and the Student Gov't. Assoc,
adheres to the twisted criteria
of this statement that in order
to be right, or at least make pub-
lic his beliefs on right and wrong,
one must necessarily be exempt-
ed from the office of president
of the SGA. This they call "De-
mocracy in action,"
It is my judgment, that this
school makes a mockery of the
ideals of true democracy. It ap-
pears that one of the four can-
didates for the SGA presidency
was disqualified by true virtue of
a sign, posted on the SAC Lounge
door, the presence of which, the
candidate was completely un-
aware.
I suspect, however, that this
amounts to nothing but a tech-
nical smoke screen to shroud the
actual reasons for disqualifica-
tion.
Having been present at the con-
vention of candidates in the SAC
Lounge on April 1, the true rea-
sons for disqualification of this
candidate are apparent and self
evident to this writer.
SPEAKING OUT
People Relations Not Racial
by Sandy Thomas
'Comber Staff Writer
The Organization of Afro-Ameri-
can Affairs (OAA) staged their
second open meeting of the year
last Tuesday for the purpose of
discussing racial relations on the
PBJC campus.
OAA coordinator Wilson Brad-
iw, who presided over the fo-
n, opened the session by invit-
; all those in- attendance to
participate and air their views
on the racial atmosphere of PB-
JC.
Dr. Samuel Bottosto, advisor to
the organization, opened with the
potent question, "What is the ra-
cial atmosphere on this campus?"
Answers ranged from "fair" to "It
stinks."
It seemed, however, that the
main problem was completely
overlooked.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
"fl£V, FELLP,^ I 7UINK 1V£ FOUNP ANOTHER $P£Clft\Ettfi
SANDY THOMAS
We speak of racial relations,
what about "people" relations?
When the whites can't even be
friendly with whites, how can we
expect them to go out of 'their
way to be friendly to anyone
else?
This can be true in any ethnic
group. People must learn to as-
sociate with people, to look be-
yond skin color and into Lheir
minds.
Yet, when we try to do this, we
are constantly being reminded of
our skin color and other such
trivia by others. Welre in a rut.
All of us.
People must want to get to
know people for what they are,
not because they are "supposed"
to be friendly in order to "help"
race relations.
Human relations must be based
on sincerity and frankness and
a willingness to give as well as
take.
Mankind is one force, that
should be working together, not
separated into little groups work-
ing against each other.
In order for one to be an out-
going person, to be the one to
take that step towards another,
to extend that friendly hand, he
must have courage, he must have
self-confidence, and he must be
an individual.
He must be a real man or a real
woman.
Yet, how many such people are
there? There seem to be fright-
eningly few.
There is no formula for loving
one another, it must be a per-
sonal accomplishment, beginning
with the individual and then
spreading to others.
One must overcome his inhi-
bitions and fears and take that
single step towards that journey
of a thousand miles.
Only one of the contenders for
this office had the time or con-
victions to stand up and make
public his views on certain con-
troversial issues.
In so doing, he stepped on the
toes of several members of the
SGA Executive council and the
school's administration policies;
for example, the dress code pol-
icy.
For this reason, and this reason
alone, he was disqualified.
This nation abhors the tactics
of communist countries, of nam-
ing the candidates in their so
called "free elections" on the I'
sis of their adherance to part-
policy and the elimination, wli#
er technical or physical, of ai .
outspoken opponents.
I accuse the SGA of use rl
these undemocratic tactics on oV
"democratic election" of officiah
These hypocrites tell me -
come out and vote, but my vo"
amounts to nothing unless I ca:
it for the candidate of "their
choice.

Fuzz - A Hairy Happening
Don't Let Money Dictate
Your Style Of Clothing
Editor:
I am sure that everyone was as
surprised as I was to read the
letter from Mr. Bryan Weeks
(March 7) concerning the dress
code.
It is hard to believe that this
man actually believes what he
wrote.
He advocates not associating
with certain people because of
their mode of dress. What kind
of rule is this to live by?
Some of the statements were
unbelievable. "Don't be foolish
and believe in 'class.' Do not let
them lower you to their own lev-
el." What does he mean? First
he says not to believe in "classes"
and then he says there are lev-
els in society.
The closing paragraph has to
top it off. "It is undoubtedly the
best rule to dress well and feel
well. Over the years you will at-
tract more money."
So now money has become the
ultimate! What kind of a philos-
ophy is this? We must all dress
well in order to attract money.
It seems to me that this is what
the man wanted to say in the first
place.
It must be a sad life when a
man lets money become so im-
portant that it even dictates his
style of clothing.

meier, a part-time IBM secretary from Deerfield Beach, ad-
vocates.

'Comber Staff Writer
As the curtain opened upon a
stage veiled in a purple haze, I
sat back to enjoy PBJC's short-
ened version of the Broadway
hit, "Hair" directed by Rado
Ragni.
The production, presented last
Thursday in the Auditorium, was
directed by Bob Zaun and aptly
entitled, "Fuzz."
My eyes scanned the stage
filled with every conceivable ob-
ject from a poster of the Mona
Lisa to a toilet seat hanging from
the ceiling, when from the back
of the auditorium, my ears did
perceive the yelping of what
sounded like some Indian bucks
who had had a bit too much
"fire-water."
And quite emotional they were,
they took no time in getting ac-
quainted with everyone in the
audience; ie., physical contact.
After this "getting acquainted"
period, the actors scrambled onto
stage in slow motion, allowing the
audience to relax for a moment
and watch what I am sure was
one of the most unusal presenta-
tions to hit PBJC's stage.
Although most of the produc-
tion was pantomimed to a taped
recording of songs from "Hair,"
some "live" dialogue was thrown
in for good measure and added
a much needed dramatic touch.
King Morrison, the only black
actor in the show, (who, by the
way, is described by his fellow-
actors as "Stokley Carmichael
with a sense of humor" was one
of the outstanding characters on
stage.

ed of: Bob Zaun as Berger, Steve
Searl as Claude, and Richard

As viewed by the "new" youth
of America, nothing was spared
in the June of social, religious,
and political commentary.
Of course, one of the biggest
gripes contained in the philoso-
phy of "Hair" and carried on in
"Fuzz" was that of our "dying
nation's" involvement in that
"dirty little war."
from Viet Nam as heard on TV
and radio, the cast broke forth
into chorus' of "my heart beats
true for the red, white, and blue,
and "yellow."
The climactic ending to this
avalanche of criticism was the re-
turning of a uniformed young
man from war, who has evidently
succumbed to the wishes of the
"establishment." He was warmly
greeted with hurled eggs and mud

Shakespeare's comedy of errors came true last week as
the Pacers baseball team blanked St. Josephs Junior College
6-0 on Open House Day.
An avid PBJC crowd of approximately 35 saw righthander
Dale Sharrock fire a four-hitter enroute to his second victor)
of the season.
The humorous aspect of the game was that all the PBJC
batters had to do was to hit the ball and they were almost
assured of getting on base. Their hapless opponents chalked
up nine errors and at one point in the contest, had accumu-

OPEN HOUSE
History Of PBJC Unfolds
As An Episode Of Change
('Coiulier Staff Photo by Ernest DeBakey)
LIGHTS OF KNOWLEDGE - The newest addition to
the PBJC campus, the Library Learning Resource Center re-
mains open nights from 6 - 10 p. m., as a vast number of
materials are at the disposal of students.
by Jacquie Boiling and
Bob McTammany
The history of Palm Beach Jun-
ior College, is a timetable
packed with change, challenge
and cooperation.
The oldest public junior college
in the state, PBJC was founded
in 1933 through the efforts of
Superintendent of Schools Joseph
Youngblood and high school prin-
cipal Howell L. Watkins as well
as an advisory committee con-
sisting of representatives of local
civic organizations.
These people found that many
of the community young people
could not afford to reside at the
campuses of state universities or
other colleges, and once there,
could not find employment.
Watkins and Youngblood be-
lieved that what the Palm
Beaches needed was an institu-
tion which would give the student
with scholastic ability and lim-
ited funds an opportunity for
higher education.
These leaders along with the
advisory committee, approached
the County Board of Public In-
struction for aid.
As a result, PBJC became a
part of the county school system
and remained under their juris-
diction until June 30, 1968.
Conceived to serve the commu-
nity and its students, the junior
college began on shaky legs but
emerged strong and powerful af-
ter many early moves.
The first location of the col-
lege was Palm Beach High School
in what is now the Science Build-
ing. It remained there until 1948
when Dr. John I. Leonard be-
came its first president.
Needing more room, the college
moved to Morrison Field, a de-
activated military 'base adjacent
to Palm Beach International Air-
port which the Board acquired
in 1947 from the U. S. govern-
ment. This served as the home
of PBJC until the Korean War
in 1953 when the armed forces
reactivated the field.
At this time rumors sprang up
that this would be the end of
PBJC. Although the college had

Just as change describes Palm
Beach Junior College, so does
variety. The program of studies
a nd activities is well diversified
having something for a majority.
The traditional open house,
Sunday, provides the visiting pub-
lic with a brief look at campus
fcfe and the individual study pro-
grams offered at PBJC.
The major departments which
°iake up the college, numbering
^S, are having instructors on hand
to guide visitors through their in-
dividual divisions.
The K-ette and Circle K clubs
^U act as guides to aid guests
a s they tour the campus.
The Southside Kiwanis Barbe-
Que which is held annually in
conjunction with Open House runs
from 12 noon to 6 p.m.
The majority of programs are
c oncentrated from 2 p.m. to 4
P-m., a noted exception being
'he 1:30 p. m. stage band concert
10 be held in the Cafeteria.
The Art Department is slated
to stage its showing of their an-
nual student exhibit in the Hu-
manities Building.
A new addition to the college,
which supplements the Reading
Clinic held in the Administration
Building, downstairs, is the
Speech and Hearing Clinic. This
deals mainly in the area of speech
therapy. The use of a video-tape
machine allows the speaker not
only to hear himself on tape,
but also to view himself on a
television screen.
Zoological and botanical dis-
plays are featured by the Biol-
ogy Department. Four demonstra-
tions are to be conducted by fac-
ulty and students.
The new NCR 4200 accounting
machine demonstration can be
seen in BA 129 in the Business
Building, part of the complex ad-
jacent to the Library Learning
Resources Center.
An office machine display is
in BA 132. The Retailing division
offers a slide-sound demonstra-
tion.
Living in the computer age,
the college's two computers can
be viewed in operation in the
Data Processing Building.
For those whose interest lies
in the area of engineering or
physics, displays which include
work done by students, are sched-
uled to appear in the Technical
Building.
An air conditioning and ma-
terials testing * demonstration are
to be located in the Tech Lab
Building. The Library room 129
will house drafting.
A slide-tape program on the
American author Ernest Heming-
way is to be shown by the Eng-
lish Department in BA 310.
The Foreign Language Depart-
ment will play recordings from
Italy, Spain, France and Portu-
gal. This can be heard in AD 25.
The Gymnasium houses the
first-aid display, badminton dem-
onstration and activities movies,
all part of the physical educa-
tion program at PBJC.
The Science Building also holds
the display of clothing made by
students in the Home Economics
'Division along with a film strip
on the field of homemaking.
A new mathematics laboratory
which is scheduled to open this
summer can be seen for the first
time by the public. It is accom-
panied by a movie, a film strip
and a demonstration.
The Music Department offers
recordings of student musicians,
the band concert and choral mu-
sic.
A specially arranged demon-
stration, one of the highlights of
Open House, of the Law Enforce-
ment classes, in cooperation with
William Heidtman, Palm Beach
County Sheriff, Palm Beach Po-
lice Chief William Barnes and
Lake Worth Police Chief Tom
Nagle, will present a police dog
demonstration.
The dogs are provided by the
Deerfield Beach Police Depart-
ment and can be viewed on the
tennis courts at 2 p.m.
Activities not directly in line
with the academic program in-
clude a chess match in the Stu-
(continued on page IV)
prospered, it was now left with-
out a home.
But the college wasn't ready
to give in yet. Students and fac-
ulty united to initiate a "cam-
pus hunt." Local newspapers
were plagued by indignant let-
ters commanding a continuance
of the college.
As a result, the Town of Lake
Park offered its town hall to the
college for temporary quarters.
The enrollment of 300 students
at this time forced the college
administrators to look for a per-
manent home.
In 1855 one million dollars was
appropriated for junior colleges
throughout Florida. In the same
year, the Palm Beach County
Board of Commissioners gave
PBJC a permanent home on the
northwest corner of John Prince
Park.
The 114 acres given to the
Board of Public Instruction was
seeded with ideas and plans for
the junior college. In 14 years
it has grown. Buildings planted
aesthetically over the campus
have been the houses of learning
for thousands of students.
The future should be a continu-
ation of the established history
of change here at PBJC.
Plans for new buildings are be-
ing discussed.
The college has also purchased
land in the Palm Beach Gardens
area for a second campus site.
This campus is to be an at-
tendance center which will help
accommodate the growing num-
ber of junior college students.
Specialized as well as basic
courses are to be offered.
The enlargement of the
school is an indication of its suc-
cess. But it is not the buildings
that make the history of Palm
Beach Junior College. It is the
people!
Four hundred and seventy-five
students filled the classrooms in
1956. Now more than 5,000 are
taking their place.
There is a tremendous educa-
tional opportunity here catering
to the whole community. The
school is willing to lend its
knowledge and facilities to any-
one with the desire to learn and
the qualities necessary to absorb
the knowledge.
The story of Palm Beach' Jun-
ior College is a story of courage
and determination — determina-
tion by the many far-sighted in-
dividuals whose visions of an era
when education would be avail-
able to all were not only a dream.
They made it a reality.

Afro Meet Airs Racial Problems
IS*
by Suzanne Lash
"Comber News Editor
The newly-formed Afro-Ameri-
can Affairs group was organized
on the PBJC campus in an at-
tempt to bring together Black and
White students rather than to
separate them, assistant coordina-
tor Leonard Butler told a group
discussion March 20.
Butter said the OAA aimed at
bringing the Negroes on campus
into a more integral position and
"an attempt to get to know each
other (Negroes and Whites)."
The informal group discussion
afforded interested students and
the members of the organization
the opportunity to air opinions on
racial differences, OAA's role on
campus and Afro- American
studies.
Students questioning the need
for such studies and the methods
led the discussion into courses
in Afro-American culture and his-
tory.
Students freely voiced ideas and
argued them out together. Opin-
ions may have differed, but as
Butler put it "just being here
like this is a start." The friendly
atmosphere, with coffee provided
by the OAA gave students an in-
sight into some of the problems
of racial prejudice encountered
today.

For the first time in recent
PBJC history, four candidates
are vying for the SGA presidency,
while candidates for vice presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer are
unopposed.
At the close of the filing period,
ten students had filed applica-
tions for the offices of president,
vice-president, secretary, and
treasurer of the SGA.
However, two of these students
did not have the grade point av-
erage, and the third withdrew for
personal reasons.
This leaves the offices of vice-
president, secretary, and treas-
urer virtually assured to the re-
maining candidates running for
these posts. All they must do, is
obtain one vote of confidence.
The race for president is guar-
anteed to be a hassle with four
qualified candidates vying for the
top position.
Campaigning started on March
24. Speeches are to be given by
all candidates Tuesday at 11 a.m.
on the SAC patio.
Voting will take place on April
3 and 4. Machines will be located
in the north SAC Lounge and in
the breezeway on south side of
the new library. Polls are open
between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
All regular students carrying at
least twelve hours are eligible
to vote.
The names of the seven candi-
dates running for the four vacant
SGA executive posts and their
qualifications are listed below.
In addition to this the candidates
were asked the following ques-
tions:
"Why are you running for an
SGA executive office?" and "If
you are elected, what specific
project or suggestion for improve-
ment, or specific legislation will
you promote to make PBJC a
better junior college?"
Clifton Burdette, a physics ma-
jor and Independent candidate for
president, lists the following qual-
ifications; SGA senator and social
chairman, a member of Circle K
and a member of the Science
Club.
"If elected I hope to revise the
budgeting system, have tight SGA
organizational control, strive to
attain complete separation of pow-
ers, re-organize the Communica-
tions Board, and review course
curricula and recommend
changes," he said.
"In addition I hope to distrib-
ute responsibility to as many dif-
ferent students as possible, as
well as hold an educational work-
shop for SGA," Burdette added.
A member, of the baseball team,
presidential candidate Vincent
Matteis has the following aspira-
tions.
"I hope to give the students a
better understanding of the SGA
through public forums. I also
wish to give the student body a
greater involvement in the policy
making of PBJC."
Presidential candidate Robert
Mandell lists for his qualifica-
tions:
Chaplain of the Phi Da Di fra-
ternity, and participant in Intra-
mural Basketball and Bowling.
"I am running to help make the
existence of SGA better known
to the student body."
"If I am elected, I would like
to get a resolution passed by the
Senate advocating the lowering of

'The American Dream' ~
New Experience In Drama Productions
by Suzanne Lash
'Comber News Editor
The stage of Palm Beach Junior College again be-
comes the scene of dramatic experimentation April
11 and 12 when a group of drama students present
a study of "The American Dream" by Edward Albee.
"The American Dream" is, according to the play-
wright, "an attack on the American Scene, an attack
on ttie substitution of artificial for real values in
our society, a condemnation of complacency, cruelty,
emasculation and vacuity; it is a stand against the
fiction that everything in this land of ours is peachy-
keen."
Director of the production, John Schneider, de-
scribes the play as "an extreme of society." What
he is attempting to do with his cast of five is to
provide an experience for the actors and audience.
The introduction to the presentation will be made
by Dr. Samuel Bottosto, chairman of the Social Sci-
ence department.
After the 50-minute play the actors will return
to the stage minus makeup and costumes to conduct
an open forum with the viewers on the social, con-
temporary comments of the play.
"The Idea Is taking a chance," said Schneider.
"It has been done at theatre conferences," he added,
but this is a first for the general audience. He hopes
that the fact that it is not intended for the theatre-
going public will attribute to its success.
Invitations have been sent to teachers from the
schools and colleges in the area to reach the audi-
ence that would be most receptive to the experimental
and intellectual aspects of the production.
Schneider said he hopes to Involve these teachers
and the students with an interest, in the experience.
"The general public would walk out," he said.
"It's a sharing 'thing," Schneider said, "It will
be a fantastic study experience for the actors and
the audience."
Schneider is taking a chance with 'his casting of
actors for the play also. The main characters, Mom-
my and Daddy have been assigned to actors of the
opposite sex than indicated.
Because Mommy is a very masculine, domineer-
ing woman, Martin Tischler has been given her part.
Daddy, an effeminate, not-quite-masculine man, is
played by Lindy Zellner. The role switching is an
experimental effort to achieve a clear characteriza-
tion of these persons.
Tischler will be dressed like a woman, said Schnei-
der and "I want the audience to be fooled Into think*
tag he is a woman until he moves or speaks. While
the play progresses I hope they will forget that he
Is really a man."
The problems facing these actors are beyond the
usual ones of knowing their character since Miss
Zellner will have to think like a man but be feminine
in her movements while Tischler will have to do the
same with his role as Mommy.
The three remaining characters, Grandma, Mrs.
Barker and a Young Man, are played by Laura Lee
Athey, Janice Spadence and Steve Searl, respectively.
The independent .student effort, conceived and
planned by Schneider, has performances set for 8:14
p.m. An additional presentation is planned before
a Social Science Conference here of area Social Sci-
ence instructors on April 12. There will be no admis-
sion charge.

Reject Dress Code Proposal
Aid Academic Activities
A proposal before the faculty senate that would establish a
waiver of enrollment fees for eligible athletes appears to be
discriminatory toward non-athletic extra-curricular activities.
We feel that a similar offer should be extended to SGA
officers, outstanding drama and debate students as well as
publication editors.
These activities have already provided PBJC with local,
state and in some cases national recognition.
The above programs should not be forgotten now, but
rather be given a suitable method to compete for outstanding
talent in their respective fields who might not otherwise be
able to afford a college education.
Let's not omit the academic oriented activities.
Hide And Go Seek
Where do all the critics hide on election day?
364 days a year they're active, telling everybody what's
wrong with student government, but on election day they
retired to the woodwork.
Only seven freshmen filed for SGA executive offices last
week, four of them for the office of president. Candidates
for the other three posts are now unopposed.
The critics total in excess of 1,000, but if 500 students
vote on election day the rum out is considered excellent.
Where are the critics when they finally have a chance
to correct the wrongs that they constantly complain about?
Face The Critics
Editor:
The "busy retiree" who writes
to the Beachcomber "the human
body is not a thing of beauty un-
less . . . dressed up" is obvi-
ously a retiree, but not very
busy.
As for "getting more" dressed
up, we just don't understand.
Over the years one may "attract
more money" but little else.
We resent the twisted, Gant
shirt philosophy (as well as the
twisted logic) of the noble ag-
gressive businessman Mr, Weeks.
If it is the purpose of the dress
code to make us "join the crowd"
as Mr. Weeks, our open-minded
administration and other propo-
nents of the dress code feel it is,
then we want no dress code at
all.
We therefore, urge the other
students to demand of the fac-
ulty to reject the Student Senate's
sniveling proposals for a dress
code change and to reject the
whole conception of any dress
code.
We feel it is not the "best rule
to dress "well;" rather it is the
best rule to dress as an individual
who has the human dignity of
freedom of choice.

'Comber Article
Athletic Director Ray Daugherty in a letter to the editor
printed on this page states that his phone call of March 13
was entirely misinterpreted.
We would like to point out that misinterpretation is a
risk you face when you choose to register complaints via
telephone rather than face-to-to-face confrontation. -, . _,
It should also be noted that the 'Comber editorial of SpOrKS CONIHIifitS
March 17 specifically stated that we were aware that Daugh-
erty's staff was not consulted about the department's decree.
If the article in concern was in fact misleading, it seems
lat a personal interview with the editor would be a logical
lethod of airing any complaints. A boycott of the paper by
deparment that depends upon publicity is surely not the
icwer.

Editor:
Regarding your editorial of
March 17, 1969 may I please point
out a few errors.
1. I informed the Beachomber
that the director's office only
would no longer cooperate with
the reporters.
2. I did not order my staff not
to cooperate with Beachcomber
reporters.
3. There are no differences of
opinion regarding needs for the
baseball field.
In regards to the March 10
article, both Coach Edgerton and
myself were completely misquoted
and if this is an example of re-"
porting, I personally want no part
of it.

It's that time again when stu-

for spring and fall registration.
Courses "have to be chosen.
I would like to try and help
those students who are still un-
decided in their major or those
students tired of their present ma-
jor field of study.
PBJC has one of the outstand-
ing law enforcement programs in
south Florida. This program is
under the direction of Mr. Larry
Turtle and Mr. Joseph Macy.
If your courses are drabby and
offer no excitement, then the law
enforcement program is just what
you need to arouse your interest.
Such courses as Introduction to
Law Enforcement, Police Admin-
istration, Patrol Operations, Crim-
inal Law, Criminal Investigation,
Law of Arrest, Search and Seiz-
ure, and a non-police course, but
relating to this field — American
Social Problems — a fine and
powerful course. In this course
alone, there is a different speak-
er each week.
Field trips include a visit to
one of the finest police depart-
ments in Florida — 'the West
Palm Beach Police Station.
Also there are drug sessions
and guest speakers on police re-
Sated topics.
Classes not only consist of stu-
dents but also police officers
from every city in the immediate
area.
The only time students ever
meet a police officer is when
they receive a traffic violation.
Then, these students have a
sentment against all police
the rest of their life.
Police are human just as v
and a student can obtain a K
t*r understanding of the po
through the courses offered
PBJC.
Even if you don't plan to
into police work, just lean
about our men in blue by Eat
Introduction to Law Enforcem

Pacer's Pride
"Make love not war," says freshman Janie Peters, this
week's Pacer's Pride.
A resident of Pompano, Janie finds her interests in opera,
traveling and astrology.
The 18-year-old Business major certainly livens up her
predominately male classes.
She adheres strongly to her zodiac sign, Taurus, the
Bull, but in Janie's case, it is apparent another sign would
more appropriately suit her.

added. "These results would then
be sent to Washington, D. C. so
that cur national governmental
officials would know just how
PBJC students feel about the
voting age controversy."
"In respect to other policies, I
^vant to wait until after I have
spoken to administrators and stu-
dents now involved in SGA,"
Mandell added. "After I have
discussed problems with them
and gained more knowledge on
subjects pertaining to the school,
I will have policies of greater
importance which will have a

When asked why he was run-

Pearce was then queried as to
his future goals and policies.
"My major goal is to serve
a nd express the views of the ma-
jority of students at PBJC in
s&veral ways," he said.
"Since the majority of the stu-
dents are dissatisfied with the
^ess code and absentee policies,
i want to work towards bring-
ing about a solution which will
t>4 favorable to both students and
faculty."
Pearce says he wants to help
form better communications be-
tween SGA and the student body
concerning all aspects of campus
life.
In addition to this, Pearce said
he hopes to reapportion the sen-
ate so that the SGA senators rep-
resent a definite group of people.
In this way the senator will know
who he is representing, and the
student will know who to go to
if he has a suggestion or a gripe,
he said.
The single vice - presidential
candidate is political science ma-
jor Bill Graham.
Graham is a freshman senator
and member of Phi Rho Pi, Phi
Theta Kappa, and College Foren-
sics.
Graham was asked how it felt
to be running unopposed.
"It feels pretty good. However,
it is discouraging to note that
people are so apathetic that they
won't even file," he said.
Freshman senator and Thi Del
Sorority are the qualifications of
secretary hopeful Debi Uglow.
Candidate for treasurer is Vicki
Gersch, an interior design major.
Her qualifications include fresh-
man senator, Philo treasurer, Phi
Theta Kappa member, and mem-
ber of the Art Club.

Faces And Sister George
BENJAMIN'S PARENTS'
HANG-UPS
John Cassavetes took his 16 mm
camera, jerked it handily in
black-and-white and blurted out
an uncertain excursion into that
American entity, suburbia, where
adulterors no longer lurk in
shadows at the far corner of the
back patio.
Nosiree.
The city dweller escaped his
self-made highrise neighborhood
encompassing the need to be in-
volved and caring, actually car-
ing, about the Smiths, Leonetti's
and Goldmans, moving to the
city's skirts where he pursued
self pleasantries in the name of
the family. All the while, one-
by-one, he was joined by the
Smiths, Leonetti's and finally the
Goldmans who were "accepted"
at the street's end.
So went, the caravan of the ear-
ly Fifties. The young marrieds
of post WWII began rearing their
offspring. And the deposed city
dweller/neo-suburbanite again be-
came involved with and cared
about the neighbors, expanses of
grass and landscaping, perfected
by Antony's Lawn Service ("He's
simply the best in town, Bob.")
replacing the thin doors and nar-
row halls.
Cassavetes moves In on these
young marrieds two decades af-
ter the ceremony very much in
their middle years, contributors
of countless Benjamin Braddocks
off at the private 4-year liberal
arts college or worse the state
university.
With only Christmas and sum-
mer vacations at home", the stu-
dent leaves his parents to mix
with the other parents. And mix-
ing more than just drinks.
On the heels of Benjamin an-
nouncing God Is Dead, these
couples find themselves reaching
to sex to replace the lost warmth
of spirituality.
We see them close, uptight if
you will. The eyes, the irregular
chin, a few nostril hairs, cheeks
craggy from adolescent acne —
Cassavetes relentlessly drives the
camera not just up- to the actors
but up onto their "Faces."
John Morley is the husband on
the lam with stylish prostitute
Gena Rowlands (Cassavetes* real-
life wife) providing the home-
away-from-home.
Feigning comeuppance, the
wife (Lynn Carlin) gathers the
other discarded girls and shuffles
everyone to the Whiskey A Go-Go,
habitat of one gangly middle-age
hustler (Seymour Cassel) who
presumably is invited to return
with the pudgy wives for ensuing
parlor games.
Miss Carlin and Mr. Cassel are
nominated for Oscars in support-
ing roles. Cassavetes has earned
himself a nomination for writing
the original screenplay.
This year not one of the five
films nominated for best picture
are written expressly for the
screen. One Is from a novel, three
from Broadway, and one is even
Shakespeare (funny, he didn't
get nominated for screenplay).
Again Hollywood has given the
back hand to original cinemamak-
ing.
With absolutely no qualms of
putting it in writing, "Faces"
with all the originality and in-
ventive nuances it heralds is the
best film to play the Palm Beach
area this year. I enjoyed it im-
mensely both times.
—Jon R. Miller
PANTING IN THE
PARLOR
Whether one approves the film
or not "The Killing of Sister
George" may very well be this
season's most controversial. Per-
sonally, I did not like the film,
but not for the usual reasons
of unreal characters, poor acting,
weak story, or bad adaptation.
Rather, the film transgressed
against my "Puritan morality.
The film is based on Frank
Marcus' (no D. H. Lawrence)
story of three lesbians in modern
England. The juxtaposition of the
characters is powerful. One finds
that three women with three dis-
tinct psychological make-ups are
lesbians for three very different
reasons.
Yet, this is a criterion based on
personal conscience and not the
story itself. I am beginning to
feel that the quest for realism on
stage and screen has reached the
point of being overly sensational.
With such upcoming productions
as "Staircase" on screen (where
Burton and Harrison portray male
homosexuals) and "Geese" on
stage (where I don't know who
iportrays you know what) I feel
that artistic freedom is over-ex-
tending itself.
The last love scene of Sister
George is a realistic approach to
lesbian love-making, which we all
know exists. Therefore since we
all know that it does exist, and
we all know that people do free-
ly express themselves in love-
making, why must we have it
flagrantly flashed to us?
I somehow feel that in many
recent productions, regardless of
the author's purpose, the under-
lying theme of sex has been made
the overtone of the productions.
When one reads Henry Miller,
or D. H. Lawrence today, he
senses the same quest fpr free-
dom that Thomas Hardy suffered
in a Victorian age. The quest for
artistic freedom has legally been
secured (via the Fanny Hill case).
The "lewd and lascivious" clause
of the pornography ruling is the
greenlight to all artists, the ul-
timate end to censorship.
I believe that artists should be
free to express themselves with
due consideration to their audi-
ences. I feel that when an at-
mosphere of sensuality pervades
an entire theatre (sounded like
a panting parlor) as it did in
the finale of Sister George, then
the production has failed in Its
responsibility to the audience.
When a play, which failed is
turned into a movie with two
superstars and national advance
publicity given to this film, then
sensationalism is transcending
realism. I do not recommend
"The Killing of Sister George"
because it simply carries a point
too far. We all know that we
need a variety of films, but In
my mind the power of suggestion
stilt works. Realism is necessary,
sensationalism is dangerous in
any movie.

TALLAHASSEE -Florida State
University Acting President Stan-
ley Marshall announced today the
formation of a special division in
the University to assist junior
college transfers.
These transfers, principally from
public junior colleges in Florida,
constituted most of the approx-
imately 3,000 transfer students
who enrolled last year. Their
presence makes Florida State's
junior class its largest.
The new Division of Junior
College Affairs, to be headed by
a director, will coordinate and
develop efforts by various de*
partments and schools to serve
the needs of incoming junior col-
lege transfers, he said.
General responsibilities of the
new division will be: identifying
and recruiting prospective trans-
fer students; selecting faculty
advisors to work with transfer
students before and after they
enter Florida State; re-consider-
ation of the University's policy
on transfer of academic credit;
financial support of needy stu-
dents, and coordination of efforts
to improve instruction of junior
college-prepared students.
"It has become evident to us
in the past few years that while
we have made some impressive
efforts for entering freshmen and
graduate students, we have done
relatively little for the large
number of transfer students en-
tering here every year," said Dr.
Larry Chalmers, vice president
for academic affairs.
While Florida State has devel-
oped some innovative instruction-
al programs such as Cluster and
FLEX for freshmen, for example,
no such programs have been de-
veloped for junior college trans-
fers, Dr. Chalmers said.
In an area such as financial
aid, the typical junior college
transfer is at a disadvantage
compared with "native" FSU
students here for the full four
years, he said. He described a

Sports Roundup
Men's Tennis
The PBJC tennis team won two
and lost two of its last four
matches, as wins against Polk
Junior College and St. John's
Junior College helped soothe the
losses to Central Florida and Mi-
ami-Dade North.
Central Florida and Miami-
Dade North are two of the finest
teams in Florida commented
coach Harris McGirk Central
Florida is the National Junior
College Champion as well as the
state champions.
The Pacers, led by Walter Pow-
ers, are playing solid tennis.
Powers was the only winner
for the team against Central Flor-
ida. In eight junior college
matches, he has lost only once.
The strength of the team does
not stop here.- Don Dickey, Dave
Chambless, Richard Browning,
Doug Remington, Bill Northrup,
and Rod Macklin are steady per-
formers who give the team great
depth.
With almost half of the season
gone, the tennis team is almost
assured of a winning season.
■ Their 6-2 record will be tested
Friday, March 28, against Polk
Junior College. The Pacers hope
to repeat their earlier victory
against Polk.
Women's Tennis
With the season drawing to a
close and the state tournament
Rearing, Coach Bobbie Lee
Knowles and the women's tennis
team are anxiously eyeing each
remaining match.
The record stands at 4-3 with
four matches left on the schedule.
The last away contest is sched-
uled for Monday, March 17
against Edison. The match which
was to be held March 13 against
Broward has been re-scheduled
for April 8. The Pacers then play
host for three home matches
which finish regular season play.
At present no information con-
cerning the tournament is avail-
able other than notice of their in-
tentions to participate in the com-
petition.
This writer would like to clar-
ify, to all concerned, the contro-
versy which has arisen from the
March 10 issue.
It should be stressed that Base-
ball Coach Mel Edgerton and
Athletic Director Ray Daugherty
are not involved in a squabble.
Both agreed to the need of a
warning track, however, Edger-
ton also felt the infield should
be improved.
* * *
The Athletic Department has
taken action to halt the excessive
loss of foul balls into the canal
behind the first base dugouts.
According to Coach Edgerton,
approximately eight baseballs
are lost during a game, either
by rolling in the canal off the
bank, or just by dropping in.
At $2.25 apiece, the bill for one
game should be about $18,
Now a fence has been erected
along the canal to prevent the
foul balls from rolling in.
Edgerton said that since the
fence was put up (according to
the last few games) that only
about four balls were lost.
Although it is still possible for
baseballs to drop in over the
fence, they are stopped from
rolling into the canal.
Coach Edgerton's Pacers won
their sixth game of the season
last Thursday, making them the
winningest baseball team ever at
PBJC.
It took 10 innings to do it, but

'Comber Staff Writer
The confidence of Walter Pow-
ers is obvious.
One need only talk with him
or take a look at his present un-
beaten record to be assured of
this For under the tremendous
pressure of college tennis, such
a record comes only from a
strong belief in oneself.
Powers, ranked no. 1 for the
Pacers men's tennis team, indeed
should be confident. Twelve years
of tennis experience does much
to keep one cool under fire on
the courts.
When asked to give what he
felt were his strong points, this
experience, coupled with a strong
serve, was what he felt personally
was responsible for putting him
on top
"I've got playing experience
which a lot of other players don't
have," her commented. "This is
a big factor."
How does tennis coach Harris
McGirt rank Powers? He's a
"top notch tennis player," re-
plied the coach. "He's coming
strong in attitude. 10O per cent
improvement in psychology."
Powers' ability on the courts
can be traced, back to high
school at John I. Leonard where
he won the district competition
in the eleventh grade and
achieved runner-up honors in the
tenth.
This background makes one be-
lieve that Powers is no idle
boaster when he threatens: "I
ought to win the state tourna-
ment this year."

Self-Evaluation Program Gets Under Way
For Administration And Faculty Members
by Suzanne Lash
'Comber News Editor
The Administration and faculty
are now undergoing an intensive
self-evaluation in preparation for
re-accreditation of PBJC by the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools.
The self-study js aimed at an
evaluation of every aspect of the
college. It is being conducted by
a steering committee appointed
Dr. Harold Manor and di-
xl by Dr. Charles Atwell.
ter members of the steering
nittee are Charles Sutherland
e Social Sciences department,
id Busselle of the Communi-
ais department, Benjamin
erts, of the Library Learning
sources Center, who will edit
i final report and Dean Robert,
jordinator of research activities.
""his term each department of
tllege is conducting its own
mental study," said AtwB.
are evaluating the courses,
content and the way they
, taught.
In August, 10 committees will
be set up to study different as-
pects of the college. These in-
clude its: purpose, organization
and administration, educational
program, financial resources, fac-
ulty, library, student personnel,
physical plant, special activities
and planning for the future.
In these areas the committees
must follow a detailed manual of
questions. For example, under the
educational program they must
consider admissions, enrollment,
curriculum, instruction and sev-
eral other areas.
A thorough study of the faculty
necessitates consideration of re-
cruitment, academic preparation,
financial provisions, teaching
loads and other duties and re-
lated areas.
With the evaluation of these
areas an institution can deter-
mine its strength and weaknesses,
problems and solutions.
Participation in the self-study
program is required periodically
of all members of the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools. It is the only method
by which accreditation is reaf-
firmed.
According to AtwelL this will
involve "a very close look at a
college wide level." This phase
of the evaluation process will
continue throughout next year.
Next spring the campus is to be
visited by a team of evaluators
from the association.
The team will spend three days
looking at the college and exam-
ining the report of the self-evalu-
ation, after which they will make
their recommendations to the
Commission on Colleges ot the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schoois, for action on re-
accreditation in Dec. 1970.
The entire process has many
advantages, the foremost of
which is its use as a "process of
self-improvement," stated Atwell.
In addition it is of benefit to
the student attending PBJC as
an accredited junior college with
transferable credits. It is an ad-
vantage for the student to be as-
sured of at least certain mini-
mum standards.

Faculty Senate Passes Dress Code Resolution
by Sam Pepper
'Comber Bdttor-In-Chief
The faculty senate Thursday, after much
controversy over a clause concerning dress
in the library after 6 p.m., passed a student
resolution providing changes in the present
campus dress code.
The issue now goes before the Board of
Trustees for their final approval.
The resolution provided for:
• The allowance of long side-burns.
• Shorts and slacks for women during the
spring terms.
• Shorts for men during the spring terms.
• Shorts and slacks in the library after
6 p.m.
The only dissention on the matter was in
reference to the fourth point of the resolu-
tion — shorts and slacks in the library.
Otis Harvey, coordinator of evening classes,
proposed an amendment, which later was
voted down, limiting the wearing of shorts
and slacks to only spring sessions.
"It's impractical to have two sets of rules,"
Harvey stated, "for buildings on campus."
He also pointed out that evening classes
are conducted in the library, therefore it
would be difficult to enforce two sets of
dress standards.
Engineering graphics instructor, Charles
Connell who holds classes on the first floor
of the library, requested that faculty mem-
bers should no longer be enforcers of the
code, stating, "I don't want to be a police-
man over hippies in bell bottoms."
Wiley C. Douglass, director of library serv-
ices, when questioned on the library's view-
point, remarked that half ■ his staff was in
favor of the resolution and the other half
was against it. He added that shorts and
slacks are allowed in all of the local public
libraries and of "the two area colleges, Flor-
ida Atlantic University allows it and Palm
Beach Atlantic does not.
Douglass also stated that every night at
least one person is asked to leave the library
because of dress code violations.
The resolution is now feeing sent to the
Board of Trustees with the favorable recom-
mendations of the faculty senate. The new
ruling takes effect on acceptance by the
board.

Judicial Invalidates SGA Election
PBJC And FAU Merge
Info One University
PBJC and Florida Atlantic Uni-
versity of Boca Raton, have
merged, in concept, to form what
has long been wished for, a four-
year university on two campuses.
This cooperative arrangement
to be in effect for the May gradu-
ates from PBJC, offers many
benefits to the student.
The required entrance examin-
ation to FAU given on their cam-
pus, is planned to be given on
PBJC's campus in the Auditori-
um prior to graduation, saving
time and work for many students,
who would otherwise have to go
to a great deal of trouble to take
the exam at FAU.
The entrance exam includes
two tests: The School and Col-
lege Ability Test:, lasting 70 min-
utes, and the Cooperative English
Test, covering 40 minutes.
Should the student be unable
to take the exam here, he may
take it at FAU as it has previ-
ously been done.

PBJC Trustees have decided to
build a new Administration Build-
ing even though the price tag
I S nearly $200,000 above estimates.
The trustees have awarded a
contract to W. G. Lassiter Co.,
Ibc, at a cost of $619,290 after
deducting alternates costing $20,-
g00. The building had been esti-
mated at $425,000.
The board delayed action when
j^js for the Administration Build-
lag and a Food Service Manage-
ment Building were first received,
j4arch 1J, Both bids -were above
ggilrnates and funds were not
available for both, making a
gjjoice necessary.
^ committee, headed by trustee
mjaynard C. Hamblin, studied al-
ternative possibilities, and report-
^j last Thursday in favor of the
Lassiter bid for the Administra-
tion Building.
Hamblin noted the specialized
nature of the Food Service Man-
agement Building, and said ar-
rangements are being worked out
with a local restaurant and hospi-
tal for rental of some of the fa-
cilities that would have been in
the new building.
He said the Food Service Man-
agement Building was not being
cancelled, but would be postponed
and re-advertised when funds be-
come available.
The new Administration Build-
ing will be a two story structure
located between the Data Proc-
essing Building, which it will re-
semble, and the current Adminis-
tration Building, scheduled for re-
modeling into a Finance Center.

'Com'ber Associate Editor
In a special called session, the
Judicial Department of PBJC has
ruled the Executive Elections of
April 2 and 3 invalid and has
called for a new election.
This action was taken after Vin-
cent Matteis, former candidate
for the SGA presidency, contested
the validity of the election.
Matteis contested on the grounds
that the polls did not open and
close at the times specified in the
election rules, and that there was
no timekeeper during the cam-
paign speeches, given in the SAC
Lounge on Tuesday, April 1.
Matteis first voiced his contest-
ment after the election results
were announced on April 2. At
this time Matteis had already
been disqualified from the elec-
tion for violating the election
rule of. displaying a poster in an
illegal area on election day.
Directly after the announcement
the Elections Board, made up of
Larry Winter, Paul Buxton, and
Jim VanGilder, held an emer-
gency meeting and decided that
Matteis' claims did not warrant
a new election.
In an official statement Issued
by the Elections Board, Chair-
man Larry Winter announced that
due to technical difficulties on the
morning of April 1, the polls did
not open until. 8:35 a.m.
To recompense for this, the vot-
ing machine in the South SAC
Lounge wcas kept open until 4:00
p.m. that day, instead of closing
at the specified time of 3:30 p.m.
Chairman Winter also stated in
regards to Matteis' claim of no
timekeeper at the speeches, that
the burden of proof would have
to be placed on the accuser—
namely Matteis. Even though he
had earlier admitted that there
was no official timekeeper in at-
tendance at the speeches.
After the Elections Board in-
formed Matteis of their denial of
his request, they told him that if
he desired, they would carry his
appeal to the Judicial Depart-
ment
This was not required of the
Board, and as the SGA Constitu-
tion now reads, Matteis could not
have taken the appeal himself.
Matteis asked that this action
be taken and Chairman Winter
assented to do it.
The Judicial Department, is
comprised of student members
Andy Cantor, Mary Woodcock,
and Betsy Johnston, and faculty
members Elizabeth Davey; Dean
of Women, Robert Moss; Dean of
Men, C. Errol Hicks; political sci-
ence instructor, and Marion Mc-
Neely, Dean of Student Activities,
deliberated for almost two hours
before issuing their statement in-
validating the election.
Even though the Judicial De-
partment decided against the
Election Board, they commended
the Board for its handling of the
elections.
After the decision of the Judi-
cial Department was announced,
Winter stated the format of the
new election.
Filing took place on Wednes-
day and Thursday, April 8 and
9 in AD 05. On Friday April 11,
there was a candidates meeting,
after which campaigning official-
ly opened.
Speeches are slated for Thurs-
day at 11 a.m. in the SAC Lounge

od to follow. This is to give the

Graduate Evaluation
A Service To Campus
by Suzanne Lash
'Comber News Editor
As part of the effort to involve
students in the self-evaluation of
the campus prior to reaffirma-
tion of accreditation by the South-
ern Association of Colleges and
Schools in 1970, questionnaires
have been sent to students who
graduated in May, 1965 and May,
1968.
The questionnaire, designed by
Dean Robert Moss, approached
the student on all aspects of the
college.
It was completely anonymous
so as to receive as candid an
opinion as possible.
"I can't Identify any student,"
said Moss, -"they can be free to
answer." Many he added, did
sign their names.
Graduates were given a chance
to respond "negatively and posi-
tively" said Moss. "Some said the
whole place ought to be destroyed
by an atomic bomb but these
were far outweighed by good re-
actions," he added.
Hoping to pinpoint areas need-
ing strength, the questionnaire
solicited opinions on curricula,
extracurricular activities, services
and facilities.
They were designed to take
only a small amount of time to
fill out and returns have been
steadily returning.
Approximately 265 returns have
been received by Moss. "What is
discouraging is that many intend
to but haven't bothered return-
ing them," Moss said.
Two forms were sent to each
graduate with a specified major,
one evaluating the general college
and one evaluating the depart-
ment of the major.
An evaluation of the returns
will be submitted in the self-study
report: to the Southern Associa-
tion of Schools and Colleges.
"The whole purpose was to take
a hard, honest look at what's go-
ing on," stated Moss.

An Open Mind
The Student Government Judicial Department should be
commended for their recent decision to invalidate last week's
SGA executive elections.
The department's ability to approach the issue with an
open mind has uplifted the faultering status of SGA, which the
elections board had plunged the organization into, by turning
down a legitimate contestment of the election.
Their denial gave the impression that the personality
conflict between Vincent Matteis and election board officials
was the only motivation behind the decision.
Even after Bob Mandell, who had won the presidency,
stated publicly that he would like to have a re-election on
the basis that he wanted a true mandate from the people,
the elections board refused to call another election.
It seems that broadmindedness may be the answer to
all of SGA's problems - for the broadmindedness of the
judicial department may have saved the future of SGA.
ABOUT SPACE
Space Is Spooky
DAVE DENAULT — ■
While at Cape Kennedy covering the launch of Apollo
9, 1 placed a small envelope in the Beachcomber office marked
"Space Information."
Not knowing what to expect upon return, I would like
to share with you what I found.
The envelope was cleverly rewritten . . . "This envelope
takes up Space."
The payload was inside. Here are the bits of information
I received:
"My question is, did man come before space or did
space come before man? Signed: Neitche."
"Space is Spooky. Signed: Russell Schweickart."
"All we do is go around and around and around — I
can't take it! Signed: J. McDivitt."
"Space is big and dark without light! Signed: John Glenn."
Plus, a plastic straw marked genuine anti-wind tunnel.
Another small bag was marked space meteorites which
had about three or four small rocks in it and an exact replica
of a screw which held the capsule together.
Last of all a note signed anonymously saying, "Space is

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
SGA Involved For Students
Editor:
For the past two semesters
there has been the complaint
that the SGA has done nothing
for the individual student.
The executive dept., the various
boards, and most of all the Sen-
ate have been the targets for at-
tack by our "involved" students.
My question to you is: Is your
SGA as inactive as you the stu-
dents, seem to believe or is your
SGA actually busy trying to make
campus activities more enjoyable
for you without the help of the
students?
For a brief review, let's start
with the senate elections in the
fall term. There were only 13 stu-
dents who filed for 12 sophomore
senate seats.
The candidates were given a
chance to air their views and
give campaign speeches to the
students.
They stated their platforms and
suggestions for a better SGA, but
our "involved" students did not
show.
In fact, only 35 (if that many)
were on hand to listen to the
candidates and the majority were
already affiliated with SGA or
the Beachcomber.
Voice \Jf ZJke fCeaderd
OPINION IN GOOD MEN IS BUT KNOWLEDGE IN THE MAKING
Then came the time to file
for freshmen seats. This time
only 10 people filed to campaign
for 12 seats.
The Leadership and Service
Board was forced to accept ap-
plicants to fill the remaining
seats. Is the SGA to blame?
Contrary to what many believe,
the SGA has been active. The
SGA is responsible for bringing
"The Association" at a discount
price.
The SGA has sponsored many
dances to which the student body
was admitted free.
SGA has also brought on cam-
pus "The Grass Roots" and the
"Mama's Boys."
Now let's take the student sen-
ate. The senate has established
new and improved areas to the
constitution for your benefit.
It 'has been said that all the
senate does is to decide which

ticket. But the students let thea •

Then the senate acted directly
to the faculty senate, by send-|
ing recommendations concemtaj •
the dress code, the absentee p& *
icy and the need for an Afro '•

the SGA failing the student or a

'ALWAYS FAIR WITH HI S TE3TS. "
by Lorraine Ljunggren
'Comhei Feature Editor
For those political-minded stu-
dents the Coffee Information Serv-
ice has published a pamphlet en-
titled "How to Win Campus
Elections."
The fifteen page booklet holds
many answers to the questions
about campaigning on the pres-
ent-day college or university cam-
pus, and was prepared with the
assistance of student leaders rep-
resenting many types of cam-
puses.
Campaigning begins, of course,
with organization. This involves
selecting a campaign manager
who is responsible for taking the
entire load of organizing on his
(or her) shoulders. Duties should
be doled out specifically, from
sign painters to speakers and ad-
visory staff.
The booklet suggests having a
liaison with the administration.
This in itself provides a good fu-
ture source of vocal support.
The key word is key people.
They are your entree to important
organizations and interest groups.
The pamphlet lists as its sec-
ond sub -heading "Planning to
Win." This is, of course, the en-
tire purpose of the campaign.
And it is easier said than done!
This includes strategy and a for-
mal campaign plan.
Strategy requires a well-defined
and sound platform. When choos-
ing a platform no group or or-
ganization on campus should be
overlooked, no matter how small
or large.
Each issue should be specific
and should offer definite solutions
to student problems.
Research should not be over-
looked in campaign strategy. A
good research team can come up
with valuable information through
opinion polls, checking back is-
sues of the school paper and con-
ferences with various groups on
campus.
"How to Win Campus Elec-
tions" outlines campaign tactics
in six divisions.
• "Communications to the In-
fluentials." This includes contact-
ing presidents of organizations,
student government leaders, rep-
resentatives, and social organiza-
tions, for the purpose of identify-
ing himself (the candidate) and
seeking their opinions and sug-
gestions.
• Special interest groups must
be informed of your candidacy
and of your practical solutions to
their problems.
• Set up a speaker's bureau.
The booklet suggests that capable
speakers be selected to speak on
the candidate's behalf, especially
using the well-tested "testimoni-
al" technique.
Surveys taken recently indicate
that the letters-to-the-editor sec-
tion of the campus newspaper is
one of the most widely read sec-
tions.
club or organization should re-
ceive the most money. True,
there were some allocations of
funds, but why and how much? ;
Tri Omega was given in the ;
vicinity of $60 help to defray tisl
costs of their annual Christmas*
Ball. All the student was asked,
was to bring a toy, which was '
to be distributed to the under- : Detroit group, "Fruit of the Loom," which must carry with it
; the tragedy of accompanying Chuck Berry.
Berry, whose guitar and old rock n' roll was relished and
assimilated while doing "Memphis," couldn't resist a "Help
me Mister Bassman."
Monday evening Pacific Gas and Electric followed by
Sweetwater created an electric buzz that continued relent-
lessly throwing the audience into a frenzy symptomatic of
fnbal ritual.
As in Miami, Sweetwater stunned with their closing num-
ber, "Why Oh Why" that drives to "Hey Jude' and "Let the
Sunshine In" accompanied by group reveling onstage. Lead
singer Nancy Nevins' voice can get it on.
• • •
In a year when SGA has been faced with its first dis-
qualification of a candidate, perhaps it is good that a judicial
department can view things a bit more objectively than,
say, the Election Board.
Vincent Matteis is the first student this year to refuse
'■■ to buckle under to those people who say what is right and
wrong without checking written rules.
Thank You.
It is suggested that studerS;
from all phases of campus life,
be gathered to write letters te
show the campus-wide appeal cf
the candidate.

i- CINEMA
Charly And Pretty Poison
In a film world which produces
everything from "The Killing of
Sister George" to "Winnie the
Pooh," I have found a film which
is the happy medium.
"Charly" is a beautiful experi-
ence.
The story is about the life of
a moronic simpleton who under-
goes surgery and becomes a gen-
ius.
The movie is by no means a
comedy, but rather a poignant
look at our social values and our
concepts of love.
When Charly reaches intellec-
tual superiority, the things he
sees around him form a powerful
indictment against our way of
life.
But more than a story of a
simpleton transition, more than a
film of moral evaluation, "Char-
ly" is the most beautiful love
story since "Romeo and Juliet."
The interaction of Charley, pow-
erfully played by Cliff Robert-
son, and his instructor, portrayed
by the beautiful Claire Bloom, fi-
nally shows the ultimate unself-
ishness in true love.
I am forceably restraining my-
self from revealing the story,
only so you can fully enjoy it.
I have seen four or five of this
year's most notable male per-
formances, and find that Cliff
Robertson's portrayal of "Char-
ly" is tremendous.
He is neither as triumphant as
Ron Moody (Fagin in "Oliver"),
nor as captivating as Alan Bates
(The Fixer), -but somehow he did
more for me than either.
I can only say that with the
price of movies what they are,
most of us hate to view a tur-
key. Well. I recommend your
seeing "Charly," You'll feel bet-
ter because you did.

Dougherty Resigns Athletic Post
Replacement Remains A Mystery
i
by Bob McTammany
'Comber Staff Writer
Coach Raymond C. Daugherty
resigned Wednesday from, his po-
sition as Athletic 'Director.
His reasons for resignation are:
1. Lack of time to carry out
teaching and coaching responsi-
bilities.
2. Lack of cooperation by many
directly involved in the athletic
program.
3. Inability to fulfill personal
goals set regarding advancement
of the athletic program.
4. Lack of school involvement
in the athletic program.

Sports In Short
:
BASEBALL
With the season nearly at a
close, the PBJC baseball team
faces a possible 11-16 overall rec-
ord if they can defeat Edison in
a double header April 16 at Edi-
son.
The Pacers found the mark in
(heir game against Miami-Dade
Worth on Saturday, April 5 as
they defeated their opponents 2-1.
April 8 and 9 proved to be a
different matter, however, as the
Pacers fell victim to Miami-Dade
South by scores of 6-0 and 3-0.
TENNIS
A 7-0 toss to Miami-Dade North
aiid a 4-3 victory over Broward
gives the Pacer tennis team an
M conference record.
Stunned by the loss to North,
the team nearly fell to Broward
in their next match.
GOLF
The PBJC golf team played
poorly in the Miami-Dade Invi-
tational April 3-5, as the Pacers
could manage only four scores in
the 70's out of 24 rounds played.
The golf team finished eighth
out of 11 teams in the tournament
won by Miami-Dade North.
the golf team as much as I should
have. The boys need to be pushed
harder and I just haven't had the
time to do it.*"
Daugherty's term as Athletic
Director started in July, 1968
when he replaced Mrs. Elisabeth
Erling.
During his tenure he was in-
strumental in completing the new
athletic field He also initiated the
athletic tuition waivers plan which
was recently turned down by the
Faculty Senate 23-22.
He hopes to continue as a physi-
cal education instructor and golf
coach as he has done before.
His term as Athletic Director
officially ends at the end of the
current semester, although his
letter of resignation has already
been accepted.
When asked if he had any idea
who his successor would be, he
replied, "As of now, I don't
know."
According to Daugherty, pros-
pective candidates for his posi-
tion are now being interviewed.

Musical Promotion
A Desperate Effort'
by Jim Scruggs
'Comber Staff Writer
At first glance, the music coming from the gymnasium
on certain afternoons to the tune of "Take Me Out to the
Ball Game" might appear ludicrous.
The average passer-by no doubt stops, listens, gives a
short chuckle, and then goes on his way, shaking his head
and wondering what the athletic department is doing.
If one understands the situation, however, what the ath-
letic department is attempting to do becomes evident. The
music represents a final desperate effort to instill in an ap-
athetic student body a little interest in Pacer baseball.
All other efforts to encourage PBJC students to come
out and support their team during the home games have
ended in failure, as the numerous vacant seats in the bleachers
can grimly testify.
Even during Open House when the lines in front of
the bar-b-que pits and the tours of the various buildings
sported large enthusiastic numbers of interested parents, stu-
dents, and visitors, only a small handful of fans found their
way to Pacer Field, to witness a fine exhibition by the Pacer
squad.
Very few students ever display enough school pride to
watch the team in action and give them their support, but
then everyone wonders what happened when the team loses
a contest.
Ask any of the players and they'll tell you that the sheer
numbers of spectators and the encouragement they can give
makes a big difference in their ability to play.
It's just possible that if more people showed a genuine
interest in PBJC baseball, there wouldn't be any need for
the loudspeakers and the music that makes some people stop
and laugh.

sand opposing any changes in the
present college dress code before
the District Board of Trustees
Thursday, stating that he "ob-
jected to yielding to a small

Glynn's comments refuted Dr.

proper channels and then recom-
saided to the board that they

Discussion concerning the reso-

Trustees prematurely to provide
for the incorporation of any
change in the next edition of the
handbook, was postponed to afford
SGA Senators who were instru-
mental in the presenting of the
legislation an opportunity to speak
before the board.
Glynn, who has led the opposi-
tion of any dress code change,
defended the need of dress code
stating that "dress is just as
much a discipline as communica-

formalities or anything whatso-
ever."
He further commented that he
asked SGA to bring local busi-
nessmen on campus to question
them as to their views of a mod-
ification in dress policy — and
this was not done.
However, businessmen were
contacted individually by mem-
bers of the dress code review-
ing committee, and a majority of
them agreed that the allowance
of sideburns, shorts and slacks
would not be detrimental to the
college image.
"It has been my experience
that when you open the door on
dress and discipline and behavior,
you open a crack and, this is
what the country has done," the
dean continued. "I'm very much
against it."
Glynn then pointed out that,
this dress policy was "drawn
over 20 years ago by both fac-
ulty and students and it is not
all that difficult for students to
follow. All dress patterns fit much
closer to the type of self-disci-
pline young people need in learn-
ing" how to dress and behave."
The issue, which passed the
faculty senate two weeks ago widi
overwhelming approval, according
to Glynn should have been, and
usually is turned over to 'the en-
tire faculty for their vote.
Faculty Senate vice-chairman,
Donald Busselle stated that Glynn
who is a member of the senate
had every legal opportunity to re-
quest a faculty-wide vote but de-
clined to do so.
Mrs. Hugh Dortch, termed the
resolution as quite conservative.
"They haven't even raised the
question of wearing shorts, slacks
or levis to art class, which I
ant told is about as important as
wearing shorts to gym class. I
would even be in favor of adding
that"
Chairman of the Board, R. D.
Hill who remained undecided
stated that "before we get through
with it, I will probably vote for
it."
According to Glynn, enforce-
ment of changes would be ex-
tremely difficult. "It's next to im-
possible to enforce dress policy
when you have faculty members
walking around in direct viola-
tion of it."
"You won't see what you used
to on this campus," he added.
"And if this door is opened, you
(the board) can enforce because
I don't think I am going to be
able to. As you say this may be
a conservative request, but once"
we open this door, I hata to think
what more is to come."
In reply to Glynn's statement
regarding problems in enforcing
the changes, Mrs. Dortch stated
that, "If ihere exists a problem
of enforcement, wouldn't it be
easier to legalize what Is already
going on."
The trustees plan to render a
decision on the issue during next
month's meeting.

request for installation of traffic
lights at the Lake Worth Road
and the Congress Ave. South en-

The request for traffic study to
determine the need of semi-auto-
matic signals was formally made
by President, Harold C. Manor,
acting on the recommendations of
the College Safety Committee,
chaired by Social Science instruc-
tor David Forebay.
The SRD pointed out in their
report that ''traffic volumes, de-
lay times, accidents and other
conditions indicated that me in-
stallation of traffic signals would
not contribute to better control
of traffic nor would it tend to
reduce traffic accident potential."

The Student's Champion
No Champion At All
Dean of Student Personnel, Paul J. Glynn, lashed out
against changes in the college dress policy, Thursday, during
the District Board of Trustees meeting stating that "once
you open the door on dress and discipline, you open a crack
and this is what is wrong with the country today."
to
Glynn also stated during the meeting, that he objected
"yielding to a small group that's making a lot of noise."
The small group that Glynn is referring to is the faculty
and student body of PBJC, as both have expressed a desire
for a more liberal dress code policy.
(.continued on page 2)
Page 2 April 23, 1969
No Champion At All . . .
(continued from page 1)
The dean also pointed out that this policy was drawn
up over 20 years ago by both faculty and students and there
is nothing in it that would be difficult to follow.
Again it seems ironic that anyone can possibly think that
in a changing world (especially" fashion and dress) a policy
developed 20 years ago concerning dress could still be ac-
ceptable today.
In another statement Glynn is quoted as saying, if you
open this door on dress and discipline, I hate to think what
more is to come."
Th?s comment reverts back to the old philosophy of
"children should be seen and not heard." Students are taught
to become involved in the college - not to be apathetic,
but when they are given a chance to put this education into
practice they are labeled as a small group making a lot of
noise.
It seems that Glvnn, who claims to be the champion of
the student, doesn't "think that the students of his college
should be heard even when they conform to college procedure.
In contrast President Harold C. Manor, who has been
cast primarily by Glynn as the villain in the dress con-
troversy, seems to be the one administrator who is sincerely
for the students.
Although his personal feelings tend to lean against changes
in dress policy, he has listened to, respected, and complimen-
ted, the students who have spoken up for these changes. His
favorable recommendation to the board may also be the de-
termining factor as to whether or not the board passes the
proposed changes.
Anyone can talk to the present generation but few can or
will, take the time to listen. While student personnel pro-
fesses to be the representative of the student, it seems that
some of them have been too busy talking when they should
have been listening.
Sending Books Overseas
Not Representative Of PBJC
MS§£y : ':-JM An Eulogy Of Hate And Prejvd'ue
Editor:
I feel that the recent book drive
was not in the best interest of
PBJC: the school, administration,
faculty, student body, or the club
which chose this drive as its
project.
The position taken by this insti-
tute, both in support of, and the
non-dissident from, is somewhat
hypocritical.
The decision of the said drive
was in all intent, very good,
BUT:
(1) Will PBJC benefit fullest
from it?
(2) I question the value of send-
ing books overseas or for that
matter even out of the country,
when recent national studies have
shown the conditions of migrant
children of Palm Beach County.
(3) The request was made to
secondary schools in this county
to donate 'books to the drive. Not
only do the "migrants suffer, but
many other schools, in urban, as
well as rural areas, as the Glades,
suffer the tremendous lack — not
only library but text books as
well.
(4) In Lake Worth, a relatively
small school — Lake Osborne Ele-
mentary, has a library of less
than three books per student, and
a librarian who travels from an-
other school one day per week to
be there.

The American Dream-Was One
Rather than spend our time
writing impressive accolades
about John Schneider's production
of Edward Albee's "The Ameri-
can Dream," I shall drop pre-
tense and say, "I sure 'nuff liked
it"
The whole concept of students
taking plays typical of today's
emergence of the absurd, and
producing them for no other rea-
son than their own fulfillment
and the education of their peers,
is beautiful. This type of positive
achievement just may be what
"student power" is all about. At
least I hope so.
The play, an absurd satire in
the flavor of "Bessie Smith" and
"Virginia Wolfe," was done mas-
terfully.
The roles of the much exagger-
ated couple were effectively por-
trayed by Martin Tischler as the
domineering master husband and

RODNEY SMITH-
Lindy Zellner as his subservient
spouse.
I usually do not choose to praise
a single performance but Laura
Lee Athey has earned such. Her
interpretation of "grandma," the
play's motivating character, tend-
ed to fluctuate between Jane Wy-
man and Charlie Weaver. I say
this in praise, because in a satire
of such proportion, this made her
both a helpless martyr and a
senile old bitch. This is actually
how many of us view our eld-
ers.
The true value of the production
was found after the play was
completed. The curtain was not
drawn, nor should it have been.
The actors left their characters
and joined the audience in lively
observation and debate, and more
important, explanation.
I have long "been the champion
of "seeing and understanding."
This play .has opened new hori-
zons of experimentation in stu-
dent production and audience edu-
cation. That my friend is why I
feel the auditorium and theater
exists.
John Schneider has done many
things well on stage, but perhaps
his best contribution was off it.
I compliment all those who pro-
duced the play, and charge you
to give the students more of the
same.
I can best conclude by saying
that for anyone wanting to under-
stand the theatre more, this is a
perfect solution, (also inexpen-
sive). Don't miss the next one!
the conditions seem to be little
better.
(6) Several schools in WPB, as
well as southern portions of the
county received books only after
they had been used in other
schools. But, even this is better
than not at all.
Are we working toward an end
—that of educating? Or is per-
haps the only interest to publi-
cise PTK?
Will not the students from the
Glades, from Lake Worth, from
West Palm Beach, and other
areas of Palm Beach County be
the students that will be attend-
ing this institute in the future?
Perhaps we should take the
immediate stand to work for
our future students. If we wait
a year what have we to lose?
After all the students have only
lost a year and many of thes
schools, are due to be 'phased
out.' But, can we look at our-
selves closely in the mirror?
Really close? I can't.
No, I cannot support, sanction,
or agree with the present booi
drive.

Editor:
A music, lover but absolute
hypocrite, I never attended a PB-
JC College Singers production un-
til three weeks before graduation.
Then I went to see the College
Singers presentation, Operetta
Vignettes, on Wednesday evening.
And now I could just kick my-
self for not going to see others.
The production was fantastic-
one of my most enjoyable eve-

an anthology of modern poems by
Negro Americans and the poems
of John Beecher, a descendant
of Harriet Beecher Stowe of

The racially mixed cast per-
formed an unforgettable eulogy
to the prejudice and hate of the
past and present and gave a
proclamation of hope that elec-
trified the Auditorium with a
sense of brotherhood last Tues-
day.
From the pre-civil war days to
our present time, the injustices
of man to man have been great.
Under the fire of prejudice and
seemingly innate hate, the Ameri-
can Negro has undergone myriad
forms of persecution since his
forced arrival in this country. He
has endured the impossible and
overcome the unsurmountable,

Butler, Linda Gold, Richard Shef-

The most gripping scene was
the cruel lynching and burning
of an innocent Negro, as played
by King Morrison.
Morrison had the audience on
the edge of their seats as he de-
scribed his own death, "And in
a blaze of red, I leaped to the
sky, as pain rose- like water,
boiling my limbs."
At this climatic moment, the
cast rejects complete hate and
accepts complete love, the re-
deeming element of mankind.
Black holding white; white hold-
ing black, they beseech all, "To
let a new race of men arise and
to let a people loving freedom
come to growth."

This past year, the sports scene at PBJC has been rather
erratic.
We have seen the "Comeback" and "Success" of all four
intercollegiate teams as well as intramural sports:
The Chi Sig fraternity win the flag football championship.
Display of good sportsmanship at the rival Indian River
basketball games — even if our boisterous foes could not.
Willie Gibson, the Pacers "Little Man on Campus" be-
come a big man on the court.
Earl Findley lead the Pacers in scoring and rebounding.
"Music Soothe the Savage Beasts" of the basketball team
which compiled a dismal 7-15 record.
See our staff win only one "Challenging the 'Comber"
contest.
Our new baseball field completed, dedicated, and chris-
tened "Pacer Field."
Baseball player Bill Rhoden drafted by the Atlanta
Braves.
Another year gone by without new tennis courts installed.
Our baseball team finish its winningest season ever.
Another Athletic Director, come and go.
The Tennis team complete another fine season and again
become the winningest sport of all our athletics.
And finally, misinterpretation and misunderstandings of
this column.
Baseball Coach, Mel Edgerton has been proving his want
for a better baseball program at PBJC the last few weeks.
The Pacer mentor, after coaching his team to their finest .
season in history, is already searching for high school talent
for next year.
Although he cannot sign any players until after their sea-
son's have terminated, it is possible he has a few in mind.
As it stands now, the baseball team has a 29 game sched-
ule and it is hoped that they increase, at least, to a 30 or at
most, a 40 game schedule for next season.
According to Mrs. Elisabeth Erling, Chairman of Physi-
cal Education, the Division IV holds a meeting in Miami
this summer, and at this time the new schedule may be
decided.
Erling also commented that hopefully $3,000 will be
spent in renovating the Softball and archery complex. "At
resent we are waiting for an OK from the state depart-
ient," she said, "Then bids may be opened."
It is hoped that, should they get the go ahead, the con-
ruction be completed prior to the fall term.

Pacer Baseball Season Best Yet
Despite Ending On A Dismal Note
by Jim Scruggs
'Comber Staff Writer
Although the Pacers finished the
baseball season on a somewhat
dismal note falling victim to Edi-
son Junior College on Wednesday,
coach Mel Edgerton can rightly
look back over the season with
pride and a sense of accomplish-
ment.
To take over the reigns as
coach and during the first year
as head mentor pace a team here-
tofore noted for anything but a
winning reputation to a fine 12-
17 overall record deserves recog-
nition.
But a winning team is com-
posed of much more than just the
coach, and Edgerton was quick
to comment on the players' per-
formances. "We did real well. Es-
pecially since a lot of players
had to play a lot of positions."
This was in reference to play-
ers such as James Arpin, Dan
Bigbie, Bill Rhoden and others
who were forced to play a num-
ber of different positions during
the season. "I'm real pleased with
the season," summed up the
up the coach.
Quizzed as to his hopes for the
coming season, Edgerton foresees
a promising one.
"I hope to have a .500 record
in the conference. We were 7-15
in conference play this year.
Next year we ought to be in bet-
ter shape."
Women Netters
On The Incline
'Each year we seem to get a
little better." This comment from
women's tennis coach Bobbie Lee
Knowles pretty well sums up the
progress this past season for the
netters.
Two points were captured from
Broward and one from Miami-
Dade South which previously had
not been done.
Also the Pacers traveled to the
state tournament where they
placed in a three way tie for
sixth place, sharing, the honors
with Manatee and Indian River.
"We did better than ever," com-
mented Miss Knowles.
Better pitching was noted as
one area in which improvement
is foreseen.
The roster for next year may
see several outstanding athletes
from area schools.
• Edgerton was eyeing this as he
commented, "If I can get my
share of the prospects, then we'll
do all right."
The Lake Worth area is expect-
ed to yield a bountiful supply of
good athletes, but Riviera Beach
and Seacrest are being eyed for
prospects as well.
Trustees Pass Proposed Changes In Dress Code
»
by Sam Pepper
'Comber Editor-in-Chief
After six months of heated debate and controversy,
the PBJC Board of Trustees approved student pro-
posed dress code changes, Thursday, by an unanimous
vote.
Changes include, the allowing of shorts and slacks
for women during the spring terms, the allowing
of shorts for men during the spring term, the wearing
of shorts and slacks for women, and shorts for men
in the library after 6 p.m. during all terms and the
allowing of long side bums for men.
These changes take effect immediately.
Dean of Student personnel, Paul J. Glynn who spoke
out against the dress code revisions at the April 17
meeting of the District Board of Trustees, was out of
town and unable to attend Thursday meeting.
"Our students should be commended for the pro-
cedure they used in presenting these changes," said
board member Maynard Hamblin, "they should also
he commended on their careful thinking in arriving
8t these revisions."
Dress Code Revisions
Shorts and slacks for women in the spring
terms.
Shorts for men in the spring terms.
Long sideburns for. men.
Shorts and slacks for women, and shorts
for men in the library after 6 p.m. during all
terms.
First action taken on the dress code was on Jan.
30 when the student senate passed a resolution setting
up a committee to review the present dress policy.
The committee, which was composed of Glynn,
Dean Robert Moss, Dean Elizabeth Davey,' SGA Sena-
tor Edward DeBellevue, and Karen Moore, was chaired
by Bill Wilkerson.
Shortly after the first meeting, Glynn circulated
a memorandum, stating "we (the deans) feel very
strongly that the present dress code is the best of
the collective thinking of the deans, students, faculty
and administration. We are against any changes.
A second meeting of the reviewing committee was
then called, this time chaired by Senator DeBellevue.
Again no action was taken as the deans refused to
give into any changes.
SGA then initiated what president Rodney Smith
termed their most "Comprehensive poll" to determine
what changes the students were mostly interested in.
All of the recently passed changes were favored
by more than 50 per cent of the students polled.
A resolution was then submitted to the students
where it was passed by a vote of 18-1, on Feb. 11.
The legislation was then sent to the faculty senate
for their approval, and on April 10 an overwhelming
majority of faculty senators voted in favor of the
changes.
The Resolution was then approved by the District
Board of Trustees, last Thursday.
Edward DeBellevue who chaired the second dress
code reviewing committee presented the resolution
to the board.

His academic career at the col-
lege has been marked by active
work in the Florida Association

he served as president in 1967-68.
In announcing the appointment,
Dr. Manor referred to Suther-
land's FAPJC experience.
"As president of FAPJC," Dr.

"We expect him to Institute a
new and positive level of com-
munication between the various
athletic programs of the college,
between these programs and oth-
er aspects of college life, and
between the athletic program and
the community."
Sutherland's appointment was
recommended by Elisabeth Er-
ling, chairman of the Department
of Health and Physical Education,
and Dr. Paul Graham, 'Dean of
Instruction.
One of his first official actions
was to announce the reappoint-
ment of all coaches for the com-
ing year.

Sutherland said. "Many basic de-
cisions which will affect the level

The Voice Is Heard
The voice of the students has been heard at PBJC.
Last Thursday the District Board of Trustees passed
unanimously student proposed changes in the college dress
code policy.
We feel that the students involved directly with these
proposed changes should be complimented highly on their
method of procedure as well as the careful consideration
they used in determining what the students want.
We feel that the administration and the trustees of Palm
Beach Junior College should be highly complimented also. As
we have stated in a previous editorial, "Anyone can talk to
the present generation but few can or will take the time to
listen."
Both the Administration and the trustees have taken the
time to listen.

Count Reaches 2,311
Enrollment Sets New Record
A small gain in basic enroll-
ment brought the student count
to a new high for the first session
of the Spring Term, with more
yet to come, according to Regis-
trar Laurence Mayfield.
The count reached 2,311 Mon-
day, the first day of classes after
late registration, with extension
courses in Belle Glade and work-
shop courses still to be reported.
Last year's enrollment was
2,252, largest In history during
this part of the year. The all-time
record enrollment was in the Fall
of 1958, with 5,279 students.
Still to be reported this term
a'e three extension courses and
workshops for the Game and Fish
Workshop and an Interior Design
Workshop, both of which met
Monday for the first time.
A workshop in Environmental
Science was scheduled to begin
Tuesday, May 13, and a work-
shop in Blueprint Reading for
the Building Trades was sched-
uled for Thursday, May 15.
Registration for workshops is
at the first class^ meeting, and
in some instances students are al-
lowed to begin on the second class
meeting if the meeting room is
not filled.
The first session of the Spring
Term ends June 20, with classes
for (he second six-week session
to begin June 24.
"The Spring Term was split into
two sessions partly to allow high
school graduates to begin college
shortly after graduation if they
desire," Mayfield said.
"But the last day for them to
make application is June 2," he
warned. "Every year we have
students who intend to come to
this session, but wait too late to
apply."
Mayfield said students for the
second session of the Spring
Term, or for the Fall Term, may
apply now even though they have
not yet graduated from high
school, and be accepted by the
college conditional upon their
graduation.

THE ARRANGEMENT
"The Arrangement," the phe-
nomenally popular novel that cre-
ated such a stir in the book world,
is nearing the screen.
Moviemaker Elia Kazan, who
wrote the book, has produced and
directed the film of "The Ar-
rangement" from his own screen-
play.
Shooting was recently com-
pleted at the Warner Bros. - Seven
Arts Studios in Burbank and Ka-
zan is now supervising editing.
The picture is scheduled to be re-
leased this fall.
It was expected that Kazan
would bring his block-buster novel
to the screen with the kind of
cast that reflected the stature of
the property.
He has.
The roster of stars is headed by
Kirk Douglas, Faye Dunaway,
Deborah Kerr, Richard Boone and
Hume Cronyn. An exciting new-
comber making her screen debut
in the film is 18-year-old Dianne
Hull.
As a novel, "The Arrangement"
made publishing history. In the
original hard-cover edition, it was
one of the ten top best sellers for
42 weeks, the most successful
book of the year.
As a paperback, it had the
largest first printing in history—
a whopping 2,400,000 copies. And
that was only the first printing,
Warner Bros. - Seven Arts bought
the screen rights for $500,000.
"The Arrangement" is the story
of the American Everyman — and
his women. In the midst of plenty
and ease, Kazan tells us, we are
baffled and desperate and de-
spairing.
The focal character of "The Ar-
rangement" is Eddie Anderson
(nee Evangelos Topouzoglu).
Eddie is the ad agency man
who seems to have it made — a
brilliant career, a devoted wife,
a fast car, a faster plane, a big
pool and a beautiful mistress.
These are the arrangements by
which Eddie lives. And when he
realizes the >hollowness of his "ar-
ranged" existence, he "flips out"
and desperately tries to shape a
new life.
Kirk Douglas plays the harried,
hungering Eddie Anderson in a
performance that looms as the
most explosive of his notable ca-
reer.
Faye Dunaway, the memorable
Bonnie of "Bonnie and Clyde," is
Eddie's lusty mistress, Gwen.
Deborah Kerr brings her special
grace and warmth to the part of
Eddie's patient, loyal wife.
Richard Boone is the immigrant
father whom Eddie loves —
hates.
Hume Cronyn portrays the.
friend and lawyer who tnes m\
help Eddie through the crises M
overwhelm him. The loving daugh-
ter who lives in the shadow of
Eddie's tormenting dilemma a
Diane Hull.
Kazan's production of "Tae A* >
rangement" marks the first tins j
that an author has made & ;
movie version of his own «»
However, this is far from ti* j
first time that Kazan has broagfe
a major property to the scree;.
Films of this order that Kais
has directed include "Gentleman*
Agreement," "On the Water-
front," "East of Eden" ^and A
Streetcar Named Desire "
Kazan's last film before Us
Arrangement" was "Amena
America," which he produced k-
directed in 1964. ,,

ment," his principal project w*

■Joint student - faculty - administra-
j£on decision-making bodies.
\ In Kentucky, for instance, stu-
f&nts sought and obtained a state
paw to gain student membership
ttm boards of trustees of six-state-
[ supported institutions, including
the University of Kentucky, where
students are helping to find a
raw president.
Students also have served or
are serving on "search" commit-
tees at Georgetown University,
Davidson College, Hartwick Col-
lege and the University of Ore-
: gon, among others.
An increasingly number of in-
stitutions are permitting students
to sit on faculty or faculty-ad-
ministration committees con-
cerned with curriculum, person-
nel, foreign programs and hon-
ors, as well as student affairs
committees.
Seven students will become full
Voting members of the univer-
sity, senate at New York Uni-
versity. At Maryville College in
Tennessee, an "all-college coun-
cil" has been formed of six stu-
dents, six faculty members and
six administrative officers.
The council will be the insti-
tution's chief deliberative and
legislative body responsible for
long-range planning and for di-
recting the activities of the en-
tire college community.
At the State University of New
York at Binghamton, students,
faculty and administrators will
vote this spring on a new com-
munity government plan that
would establish a policy-making
university assembly with a ratio
of five faculty members to three
students to two administrators.
At Upper Iowa College, two stu-
dents have been added with full
voting privileges to the college's
executive committee, which for-
mulates college policy, exercises
administrative control and deter-
mines budget matters.
At many institutions where spe-
cific changes have not been made,
joint student - faculty - administra-
tion committees have been formed
to discuss and make recommenda-
tions about changes in student
participation.
Such committees have been
formed at Bucknell University
and the University of Pennsyl-
vania.

JC Retirees Peed And Baker
Compile 82 Years Of Service
Two teachers who are retiring
this year with a total of 82 years
of service to the profession were
honored at a luncheon meeting of
the faculty of Palm Beach Junior
College Monday.
Mrs. Dorothy Peed and Howard
Baker were presented with a tra-
ditional gift from the faculty, en-
graved silver trays, by Dr. Har-
old C. Manor, PBJC president.
Mrs. Peed, who began her
teaching career 39 years ago in
Deep River, Connecticut, taught
in Massachusetts and Rhode Is-
land before moving to Florida in
1953.
She taught in several Florida
counties, including two years at
Seacrest High School, before com-
ing to Palm Beach Junior College
in 1960.
Mrs. Peed is well known for her
advocacy of an inter-disciplinary
method of teaching explained in
her book, "America is People and
Ideas."
Baker began teaching 43 years
ago in Altoona, Kansas, and
taught in high schools and colleges
in Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and
Missouri before coming to Palm
Beach Junior College in 1958.
A biology teacher, Baker re-
cently became the first donor to
the Palm Beach Junior College

The National Board of Dental
Examiners reported this week
that all of the 33 candidates in
Dental Hygiene from Palm Beach
Junior College passed the national
examination, according to Dr.
Theodore B. Engel, Department
Chairman.
"This means that 100 per cent
of our current -graduating class
may now practice in the 45 states
which recognize the National
Boards," Dr. Engel said.
Florida is "not yet" one of the
45 states, Dr. Engel said, and
Florida Boards are scheduled for
June 26.
The national exams are "very
tough," !Dr. Engel said, with 500
written questions covering every
phase of theory. They were given
here April 7 and 8.
"We have one of the best rec-
ords in the country," he said.
"Only two persons have failed in
the five classes we have had. I
doubt that any school in the
country can match this record."

For An 8-County Area Of Florida
McCart Publishes First Listing Of Plants
Publication of the first scientific
list of the flowering plants of an
eight-county area of Florida, cen-
tered on Palm Beach County, has
been completed by William L.
McCart of the Biology Depart-
ment.
The publication is "not likely to
become a best seller," McCart
said, "but is almost out of print
already."
McCart printed only 50 copies
of the list, and most of these
will be used in classes, or sent
to herbariums throughout the
United States.
The list contains the scientific
and common name of about 700
different plants, listed by family
from the most simple to the most
complex, in accordance with the
internationally accepted system
of plant classification.
It is the direct result of work
done by students and teachers in
the college Herbarium, estab-
lished about a year ago.
"This information has been
gathered in a little more than a
year, and provides an excellent
basis on which to build a com-
plete list," McCart said.
"I think this is a remarkable
achievement," he continued, "and
it would not have been possible
except for the full cooperation of
the entire biology department,
particularly Fred HoIIing, Rich-
ard Gross and their students."
"There has been some scientific
work at plant classification in
Dade, Monroe and Collier Coun-
ties, but none here," McCart said.
The list includes plants from
Broward, Glades, Hendry, Indian
River, Martin, Okeechobee, and
St. Lucie Counties, as well as
Palm Beach.
Most of the information came
from plants gathered for the
herbarium, which now contains
some 2,000 specimens of dried,
mounted and correctly classified
wild plants.
Each specimen has been gath-
ered in duplicate and the dupli-
cate p'ants sent to Dr. Lloyd H.
Shinners, curator of me herbar-
ium at Southern Me'hodist Uni-
versity, a center for the collec-
tion of plants from the southwest,
southeast and Caribbean.
Dr. Shinners will verify the
classification of each plant, and
add non-duplicating plants to the
SMU herbarium.
There is "considerable scien-
tific interest" in the list, because
of the change in climate in part
of the zone covered, McCart said.
McCart has also identified 58
different grasses growing wild in
the area, including four in cate-
gory 19-2, the Eragrostis, or
"Love-grasses."
"Some of the common names,
like 'Purple Lovegrass' for the
'spectabilis' are rather pretty,"
McCart said, "but I can't say" I
care for the common name of the
Sporobolus poiretii, which is
called "Rat-tail smutgrass."
McCart has made something of
a specialty of grasses, and, un-
like many other workers in this
field, tackles grass classification
without fear.

Only one plant has ever been
named for this area.
It is listed in the grasses, 19-12,
the Paniceae, under Cenchrus,
and is called "bambusoides Caro
and Sanchez (Type: Palm Beach,
Florida)."
McCart, by virture of pioneer-
ing work in this field of Botany
since he was in high school, out-
does the area three to one, hav-
ing had three species of plants
named in his honor: Cyancbum
Maccartii, Calylophus Hartwegii
variety Maccartii, and Paronch-
ia Maccartii.
His experience in collecting ami
identifying plants in other areas,
notably in Texas, leads him to
believe that the list of flowering
plants in this area will ultimately
reach near the 1,000 v mark,

"I have a great feeling of satis-

Cart says.
The fact "that there seems (c ;
be very little immediate practical
use for the list which has bees
created at the college Is of w
consequence to him.
"I'm certain that this knowl-
edge, put on record in an endur-
ing form for the first time, wui
some day foe of some real prac- \
tical value," McCart says, "bet
I'm not really concerned with that

Students Frustrated
jAf Being A "Smafl Cog'
(ACP) — Insufficient student responsibility in campus
j administration is still a major student grievance, according
; to 60 percent of the student editors polled recently by Associ-
ated Collegiate Press.
In a survey of 55 student editors in 27 states, ACP
[discovered the major student complaint to be student non-
: involvement in decision-making, coupled with insufficient ad-
ministrative machinery for dealing with campus problems.
Students are frustrated "at being a small cog in a big
machine," with "hard-line" attitudes toward campus unrest,
and with the excessive power and control exercised by boards
of trustees.
Other grievances common among the editors were inade-
quate parking facilities, inadequate teaching staffs and poor
relations between the college and- the community.
Demonstrations were condoned by 65 percent of the edi-
tors surveyed, while only 45 percent approved of sit-ins as
a method of correcting campus grievances. Forty percent
would condone passive resistance to police and administra-
tors, while only 10 percent felt it was right to barricade
classrooms.
Fifty percent of the editors felt students arrested for
campus disorders should be prosecuted. Thirty percent had
no opinion, or felt individual circumstances had to be con-
sidered before decisions could be made.
Twenty percent of the editors felt students should not
be arrested for creating campus disorders. One editor com-
mented, "it< seems to me any action occurring in an educa-
tional institution is separate from the law and disconnected
with social legal structures."
Twelf Night At The Crossroads
'A Truly Fantastic Experience'
by Suzanne Lash
'Comber Correspondent
"It is a fantastic experience,"
said John Schneider, student tech-
nical director and cast member,
expressing the feelings of every-
one connected with "Twelf Night
at the Crossroads," a musical
comedy and drama first of the
PBJC ■theater.
The play is also exciting. It is
an original script and as such
presents a unique challenge and
experience to the actors. "It's
never been done before; we have
to develop the characters from
scratch," said Schneider. There
are also brand new songs to learn
and some as yet to be composed.
"We've never done a musical
before," said Schneider adding
that they have to learn to dance,
to sing, to do everything.
It's very demanding; a Broad-
way musical rehearses eight
weeks, we only have six."
Highlights of the play include
performances of six talented
"dance -hall girls:" Laura Lee
Athey, Kay Gawn, Shirley Youn-
kins, Carleen Layson, Connie
Middleton, and Laura Bradford.
The play itself is an adaptation
of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"
and though it bears some re-
semblance to the original, it isn't
especially close. "An adaptation
doesn't have to be that close,"
said Schneider. "After all, how
close can you be with a western."
But the "fantastic experience"
is of valuable worth to students
entering the professional theater.
The college drama department is
a workshop preparing students
for the profession and this mu-
sical training is of particular
value.
Because it is a musical, the
production has integrated talent
from several areas of the cam-
pus. The drama and music de-
partments are working very
closely to achieve the total effect.
Mr. Hugh Albee of the music de-
partment is coaching the sing-
ers and helping arrange the mu-
sic and Mr. Sy PryweUer will
conduct the orchestra. Mrs. Lois
Meyer is contributing dancing
and choreographing assistance as
well as taking a part in the play.
Student Choreographers, who
are also dancers, are Chris Holter
and Gig Kramer.
"The musicians are working
very hard," said Schneider. The
original score has been a group
effort
Mr. Frank Leahy is director
and playwright of the swinging
production; student directors are
Gerald Matthews and Bill Gass.
The cast for "Twelf Night at the
Crossroads" is larger than usual
but the only problems encoun-
tered by the numbers is that it
is naturally harder to coordinate
that many people. The rehearsals
have worked with small groups
and special parts, with the final
integrated play put together later
in the rehearsal schedule.
Despite all the problems en-
countered in its introduction on
the PBJC stage, the play prom-
ises to be one that won't be for-
gotten soon and one that will be
enjoyed by the audience along
with the cast.
Presentations are scheduled for
June 12 through 15, at 8:14 in
the Auditorium. Tickets will be
on sale for $2 for students and
$2.50 for adults.

(ACP)— The role of Afro-Ameri-
can studies in undergraduate edu-
cation was debated vigorously by
a militant from San Francisco
State College and the moderate
head of the United Negro College
Fund at the annual meeting of the
Association of American Colleges
in Pittsburgh, Pa,
"A black education which is not
revolutionary in the current day
is both irrelevant and useless,"
Nathan Hare, chairman of the de-
partment of black studies at San
Francisco State, said.
"To remain impartial in the
educational arena is to allow the
current partiality to whiteness to
fester. Black education must be
based on both ideological and
pedagogical blackness."
Hare listed 18 goals for Afro-
American studies, ranging from
ending white supremacy to pro-
moting a "black world view."
Stephan J. Wright, president of
the United Negro College Fund,
which represented 36 private, pre-
dominantly Negro colleges, said
he agreed with Mr. Hare on some
points, but questioned two.
Those were, "To develop a

VALLEY OF GWANGI
Ever since Edison invented his
"movie machine" m 1893, the
talent behind the making of films
for entertainment has been con-
stantly developing new fields, new
themes and new subjects for the
medium.
But after 74 years, with most
fields explored, it is not often
that someone develops an imag-
inative new idea for a film.
Charles H. Schneer does, how-
ever, with his Dynamation and
Technicolor production of "The
Valley of Gwangi."
The adventure film is directed
by James O'Connolly and stars
James Franciscus, Gila Golan
and Richard Carlson.
With it, producer Schneer in-
troduces the Western-Science Fic-
tion film. It marks his seventh
film with associate producer Ray
Harryhausen, with whom Schneer

HOW TO CATCH A GWANGI - It's simple, as James
Franciscus, Gila Golan and Richard Carlson prove in "The
Valley of Gwangi" the Warner Brothers Seven Arts film thriller
that combines Sci-Fi with the Western.
developed the Dynamation proc-
ess, which is used in a number
of key scenes.
"The Valley of Gwangi" was
filmed by Erwin Hillier one of
Britain's top cinematographers,
entirely on location in Almerla,
and Cuencas, Spain.
At the southeastern tip of the
Iberian peninsula, the forbidding
Mountains of Tabernas serve as
the plateau setting leading up to
the "story's pre-historic valley.
The beautiful centuries-old Ca-
thedral of Cuencas, some 100
miles southeast of Madrid, is a
major setting also, along with Ta-
berna village, the sand dunes of
Las Dunas de Cabo de Gata and
the Bullrings of Berja and AI-
meria.
For scenes in the Almeria
"Plaza de Toros," Schneer ar-
ranged with authorities to delay
for two weeks the beginning of
the bullfight season. Local affi-
cionados were furious until they
were invited to watch the wild-
west show staged there for a
film sequence.
There's not a single motorized
vehicle used in the film — but
there are plenty of horses and
one burro. Vintage wagons and
buggies of the 1912 era were
brought from as far away as
Rome.
Although director O'Connolly
easily found dark-haired brown-

To The Memory Of Ike
Brief dedicatory ceremonies for
the gift of a 19-year-old co-ed to
Palm Beach Junior College in
memory of President Dwight Da-
vid Eisenhower were held
Wednesday, 11 a.m., in Room 54
of the Social Science Building.
A mounted flag of the United
States, suitably inscribed, seemed
to Donna Marie Hiers, 320 Ridge-
way Avenue, West Palm Beach,
"the proper way to remember
President Eisenhower," accord-
ing to Dr. Samuel Bottosto, chair-
man of the Social Science Depart-
ment
Dr. Howard Cox, a promina!
West Palm Beach retiree, («•
merly a Chicago optometry,
made the dedicatory remarks.
"While watching President Eis-
enhower's funeral, Miss Has
conceived of the idea of the n»
mortal flag," Dr. Bottosto sa&
"and the college is happy to «■
cept her gift."
"There is plenty of patrioaaa
among young people today," Dt
Bottosto commented, "but we psj
more attention to those who doal
have it."
SCHOLASTIC GRADS - Compiling better than a 3.9
grade point average, from left to right, are Susan Endsley
(3.9130), Carolyn Jean Gleason (3.9150) and Catherine Ake
(3.9538).
Catherine Ake's 3.9538 GPA
Highest Of All Graduates
i
Catherine Ann Ake of Jupiter
was the highest ranking scholar
in the Winter Term graduating
class at Palm Beach Junior Col-
lege this year, with a scholastic
average of 3.9538,
Miss Ake was .0388 points above
her nearest competitor, Carolyn
Jean Gleason of Lake Worth,
whose grades averaged 3.9150.
Miss Gleason was a very small
.W20 above Susan Jane Endsley,
»f Lake Worth, -whose 3.9136 and
ether qualifications earned her
die Calvin W. Campbell Memori-
al Scholarship to the college of
&er choice.
Grade point averages above 3.9
represent almost all A's with no
more than five or six hours of B
work.
They are calculated by allow-
ing 4.0 for A's, 3.0 for B's, 2.0
for C's and 1.0 for D's.
Miss Ake and Miss Endsley
were on the Dean's list for the
Winter Term, a list containing
the names of all students who
make grades of 3.0 or better for
at least 15 hours of credit.
Miss Gleason had already com-
pleted enough work so that she
could graduate after taking less
than 15 hours her final term.

New Groups Form
Protesters Become Specialized
(ACP)— Although most student
protestors are deadly serious
about achieving their demands,
some groups are making their
points in other ways.
Six blind students at the Uni-
versity of North Carolina have
demanded blind professors and
braille textbooks.
Although they admitted their
protest was made "to take the
wind out of the black student
movement," they also suggested
blinding everyone so no one
"would know what's black and
what's white."
A group of students at Queens
College (N. Y.) who call them-
selves Irish Revolutionaries Inter-
ested in Scholastic Help (IRISH)
issued a series of demands to the
college and took over a campus
building used for storage.
Their demands included the ob-
servance of St. Patrick's Day as
a holiday and establishment of a
Gaelic studies program.
A group of students at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin presented a
list of demands from the "Homo-
Afro-Studies. ..

will only lead to an intensifica-

will help destroy the nation and
the myriad opportunities for Ne-

He proposed undergraduate pro-
grams in Afro-American studies
be designed to equip Negro stu-
dents to "negotiate the system"
of our industrialized society and
to provide them with "the ways
and means by which the system
may be improved."

Arthur Musto Out Of Play
John Murphy Assumes Role
Mr Arthur Musto, actor and
technical director in the western
musical entitled, "Twelf Night At
the Crossroads," has contracted
mononucleosis.
Only one week and a half re-
mains before opening night sched-
ued for June 12.
Musto's strong character role
of Toby, the drunken uncle of a
saloon hostess, has been filled by
John A. Murphy, a former stu-
dent.
Murphy, who is a '66 graduate
of PBJC and of Southern Metho-
dist University, was the narrator
of the popular play "Tom Jones,"
presented here in 1967*
Although Murphy is an extreme-
ly creative individual, a great
deal of effort from the entire
cast and of Murphy is necessary
to compensate for Musto's sud-
den illness.
Director of the musical, Mr.
Frank Leahy will be working in-
tensively with Murphy until the
production; Leahy has also re-
placed Musto as Technical Direc-
tor.
Leahy believes that "if anyone
could fill in for the talented Mus-
to at this late date of rehearsels,
John Murphy can.

('i)inlici Associnlc Kill for
Marlene Roughton and Bill Don-
ahue are the "Rogers and Ham-
merstein" of the upcoming mu-
sical play entitled, "Twelf Night
At the Crossroads "
Original songs were written for
the entire play by the combined
talents of Marlene, a drama ma-
jor, and Bill who is studying in
music.
Marlene classifies herself as a
folksinger. She sang in the PBJC
Folk Festival in March 1969. She
plays the guitar and the piano,
however does not read music.
Marlene wrote the lyrics of the
opening number entitled, "A Cele-
bration." She wrote on her own
the music and lyrics of eight
songs, such as "You've Got A
Plan," "Come On In and Have
A Drink," and the musical's
theme song "The Twelf Night."
Marlene stars m the musical as
Maggie O'Hara, a twin, some-
times referred to as "the man
with the small chest." She has
previously played in six produc-
tions here including "Tom Jones,"
"David and Lisa," and "Anti-
gone."
"Education is one of the keys
to success in the theatrical
world," according to Marlene
"When I go to the Professional
Theatre in New York upon gradu-
ation at FAU, I hope to have
some of the needed experience
required, thus having something
to offer."
Bill Donahue, a near genius
according to Marlene, wrote the
melody of the popular song en-
titled, "Someone." He also wrote
a great deal of music to Mar-
ine's music.
Bill is employed as a studio
musician at Criteria Recording
Studio in Miami Beach. He plans
to pursue his major at FAU upon
graduation.
Formally Bill played the organ
in a band called "The Eighth
Day" at the Cock 'N Bull in West
Palm Beach.
Director, Frank Leahy, who re-
wrote the entire Shakespearian,
script into modern day language
also contributed a number of
tunes to the musical.
Student Director, William Gass
is the productions' own publisher.
He recompiled and edited songs
of the musical. He believes that
"several of the tunes in the play
are show stoppers and will bring
the house down."

War -Urban Crisis Related
iACP) - The crisis of the cities and the war in Vietnam
became even stranger bedfellows this summer as the ghettos
in some 50 urban areas exploded and as the war in Vietnam
took on an even greater intensity.
Undoubtedly the ultimate political impact of this sum-
mer's events has "been and will be greater than any event since
the Korean War. Nevertheless, this impact has many ramifi-
cations.
Anv direct linkage between the war and the urban explo-
sion must he considered tenuous at best. However, the indirect
linkages are many. The war draws to rebuild the cities, and
civil rights advocates often charge that Negroes are being
sent to fight a war in which they have no personal stake.
And it is perhaps a sad commentary on the state of affairs
in the United States that even after some 10 years of court
decisions and legislation, the most integrated sector of Ameri-
can society and the one where the Negro can rise fastest
is the military.
However, the stance of the United States in Vietnam also
has legal and political bases, and the results if we were to
suddenly withdraw would be profound. Nevertheless, the war
as it is presently being fought does not seem to be bringing
progress.
After nearly three years of U. S. bombing, Hanoi has
given no indication of a willingness to come to the confer-
ence table. In South Vietnam five village pacification pro-
grams have been tried and have failed.
With the present situation in mind and the possibility
of a war of attrition which will last another 10 or 20 years,
perhaps a reassessment of our nation's priorities is necessary.
The ills of tile cities must be cured if trrii nation is to be

•WHERE EAGLES DARE
by Lewis Hyde
ACP Reviewer
"Where Eagles Dare," with
Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood,
and Mary Ure, is a spy adven-
ture set in the Austrian Alps dur-
ing World War II.
Burton and Eastwood penetrate
an impenetrable castle to free a
captured British flyer. Like all
good spy stories, the tale becomes
endlessly complicated and con-
voluted before the end.
The tension stays high. As soon
as you figure out what's hap-
pening, it isn't.
During the brief periods when
you know what's going on, the
tension is maintained by intensely
dangerous situations and showers
of_ violence and brutality like in
any nine million dollar movie.
Burton plays the infallible lead
spy, always ahead of the other
men, fast and cool. It's a simple
part and he does it well.
Eastwood plays the American
from Montana; not quite with it,
doing his job well, saying slight,
low-key witicisms whenever he
kills someone.
The form of the movie is ab-
solute Hollywood, bordering on
spoof. .
The Germans speak English
with German accents, the Gestapo
chief is blond and angular, every
passing train whistles, the Ger-
man general wears a monocle,
none of the good guys gets hurt,
Germans die like flies, a helicop-
ter appears years before its in-
vention, every plant that's hit
burns, every car that crashes
blows up, a girl is parachuted in
so the publicity can show Burton
smooching ... the list goes on.
Reality is casually sacrificed to
entertain. All movies do it. How-
ever, the departures in this one
are cliched that, compounded with
the excessive and formulaic vio-
lence, the movie ends up uncre-
ative, retarded.
It could have been made in
1942 (except no one found the war
entertaining then).
I talked to the director, Brian
Hutton, and asked, "Well, do you
like your movie?"
He told us, "a film it's not;
a movie, yes. It's for the guy who
works in the factory six days a
week for $2.50 an hour. It hits
him on the head — not that he
needs it, ha ha— but it's not Antoni-
oni, it's not Bergman. . ." And,
Clint Eastwood told us, "I per-
sonally don't like message films."
One can't help but agree. You'd
sound rather pompous to claim
that an uncreative movie wi l h no
point ought not to have been
made.
Nonetheless, the movie is evil.
First, there's the violence. Vio-
lence is normal, I know, but let

The Light Side Of The News
Draft Board Forced To Think Twice
Clark Kissinger, an ex-leader of
the Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS), wrote the follow-
ing note to his draft board upon
receiving an induction notice.
"I am currently employed doing
fullitime anti-war work among
civilians. If it is your desire,
however, that I be transferred to
doing anti-war organizing among
the troops, I shall cheerfully re-
port for induction."
Still Good In The World
There still is good in the world,
maintains Jon Scott Haroldsen, a
junior political science student at
Brigham Young University.
When Jon returned to class, he
was questioned about his recent
absence by a female classmate.
He explained, that he had been
absent because his wife had just
had a baby boy.
Later when he was leaving
class, the girl handed him a piece
of folded paper. Inside he found
a five-dollar bill.
"I don't even know her name,"
Jon said.
'John' Goes Up In Smoke
The "john" in a girl's residence
hall at the University of Tennes-
see has gone up in smoke.
Four girls, Carol Deal, Paula
Scalici, Pam Clark and Sally Con-
rad, recently papered the walls
of the bathroom with empty cig-
arette packages.
The girls were collecting the
packages for a local merchant
who had promised to. donate a
pint of blood for a child in Knox-
ville Hospital suffering from Leu-
kemia.
Future plans include papering
the ceiling, as well as the suite
of the assistant resident, who
liked the idea.
Protest In Style
For the coed who doesn't have
a thing to wear for the next pro-
test march, a London boutique
has just the thing.
Featured is a dress in deep
red, shiny, aluminum-backed Mil-
ium (sheds rain) with large,
clear plastic inserts center back
and front upon which to scrawl
your message.
Teacher Flunks Out
A math instructor at Ohio's
Wright State University is ap-
parently "flunking out" because
me explain. A man burns up. An-
other is fighting with Burton on
top of a cable car high above
the valley. Burton takes his ice
pick and embeds it in the man's
arm.
At one point they must kill a
radio operator. For reasons of
plot — the man has to turn in
an alarm before he dies — he's
stabbed instead of shot. Clint,
therefore, creeps up on him for
at least 30 seconds.
Lotsa other folks get killed, too, :
but none of them are human.
They're just Fascists or some- :
thing.
Violence in movies isn't wrotig.
But violence which de-humanizes
the victims and keeps us from
thinking is.
As an aside, I'll mention thai 5
no one at MGM seems to care
about violence. We talked to co- '
producer Jerry Gershwin. He
doesn't give a damn.
We quizzed _the new MGM ores- J (ACP) — While more and more
campuses experiment with new
curricular structures and other
shifts and tendencies . . . it's like jt changes designed to individualize
a pendulum . . . you had witci J the learning process, a new study
~ says much of what is called in-
rovation is really "renovation
and tinkering."
In many cases, as Michigan
State University researchers have
pointed out in a new study of
undergraduate curriculum trends,
the changes were not original con-
cepts.
What was innovative in one in-
stitution may already have be-
come "established" in others.
Samuel Baskin, president of the
r Union for Research and Experi-
mentation in Higher Education,
■ noted that much of what passes
[ for innovation may not be inno-
vative.
In independent study, for in-
stance, "if the faculty member's
basic attitude toward the student
hasn't changed, and if he is still
directing the student in one way
or another, then independence in
learning isn't being developed."
Baskin listed six major types of
play, "Twelf Night," will be
presented June 12 to 15 in the
Auditorium at 8:14. Tickets cost
$2.50 for adults and $2.00 for
students.
"Shakespeare is so contempo-
rary, says Duncan. "He can be
adapted as mod, or as a wild
western, and into almost any-
thing."
"The musical is certainly one
of the most original productions
ever done on the PBJC stage,"
remarked Duncan." "I am con-
vinced that the "Twelf Night At
the Crossroads," is one of the
cleverest productions ever pre-
sented here.
dent, Louis Polk, who spoke of
a pluralistic society, "You get
burning in Salem. To cut vio-
lence out, I think, is a up-
take. . ." The gist of his answer
seemed to be that people want to
see violence.
So, "Where Eagles Dare" is
a good adventure movie. It's alsa
a big, expensive, golden egg.

9 Expanding the role of re-
search and experimentation in
the regular college operation.
Amid all the so-called new de-
velopments, Baskin believes two
may represent "new models for
teaching and learning."
One is the "eollege of disper-
sion" in which students study and
work in a cross-cultural environ-
ment.
"Beach-head colleges" such as
those operated by the union in
Appalachia and Hawaii, and "store-
front colleges, "if taken to their
fullest realization, become col-
leges without walls," Baskin said.
In such environments, students
and faculty work together in the
Held on a "problem-centered cur-
riculum" with on -going semi-
nars. The life of action and the
life of reflection are combined,
it is hoped, into a single experi-
ence.
The second innovation, accord-
ing to Baskin, is the experimental
college run jointly by students
and faculty.
"When students and faculty
plan the curriculum together,
you're getting into some pretty
basic redevelopments," Baskin
said.
Curriculum researchers feel
sound innovation — which comes
about when ideas and practices
are organized in new and crea-
tive ways into a coherent whole
to promote student learning — is
rare.
"Faculty interests, publicity,
institutional prestige, opportunism
and experience in responding to
pressures or to availability of fi-
nancial resources are more potent
determiners of specific change
than is deliberation based on edu-
cational goals, social needs and
the abilities and aspirations of
students," researchers report.
The forces creating change over
the past 10 years are essentially
no different from those bringing
about earlier changes, the report
said. "Only the more compelling
contemporary tempo has altered
significantly."

FROM MINI'S
TO MAXI'S
Only a few weeks after the District Board of
Trustees approved changes in the dress code, 'Comber
Photographer, Ron Senykoff noticed a complete reverse
in fashion trends.
It seems that the girls who used to wear the
micro mini's have done a complete about face, as
they have turned to the ultimate in maxi's, the bell
bottoms.
As far as the men go, despite the long sideburns
and shorts, they are still forced to take a back seat
to women in the fashion world.

Mickey Mouse Platoon
When an extra platoon showed
up for ROTC drill at the Uni-
versity of Mississippi at Oxford
recently, eight students were ar-
rested for disturbing the peace.
Six boys and two girls, calling
themselves the "Mickey Mouse
Platoon" arrived for ROTC drill
dressed in psuedo-army uniforms
carrying a white flag with a pic-
ture of Mickey Mouse and ROTC
printed on it.
When they refused to leave,
they were arrested by campus
police, searched for weapons and
taken to jail.
They were charged with dis-
turbing the peace and bond was
set at $500 each.
'Marriage Squeeze' Causes
Problems
As a result of the war-baby
boom, there's a severe shortage
of eligible men for today's mar-
riageable girls.
Girls who would normally have
married for the first time in 1967,
1968 or 1969 are the victims of
what Dr. Paul C. Glick, assist-
ant chief, Population Division,
U. S. Bureau of Census, calls
the "marriage squeeze."
At the time of the 1947 "baby-
boom" nobody stopped to think
that girls would probably want
to marry boys two years older
(born in 1945) and that there were
a half million more girls born in
1947 than there were boys in 1945.
Five possibilities for coping with
the man shortage problem and
the marriage squeeze are: (1) go
after the hard-core bachelors,
(2) rob the cradle, (3) displace
older wives, (4) wait for the boys
their age to grow up, or (5) stay
single.
Nude Runners
Do Their Thing
The barrage of nude runners
at the University of Maryland
represents the latest in the fad-
makers repertoire.
The "raw - runners" said they
make their runs "to relive bore-
dom and because it's a fad."
"It's been a long winter," said
Robert S. Waldrop, psychology
professor at the University. He
attributed part of the blame to
controversy over the University's
literary magazine which recently
published 10 nude photographs
which upset state legislators.
Waldrop was even optimistic
about the implications of the runs.
"It shows we have imaginative,
creative students. People have
been cooped up all winter he said,
"They wanted to get out."
Traveling Coed
Donna Vandiver Knapp, gradu-
ate student at the University of
Oklahoma may be setting some
kind of a record among commut-
ing college students.
She has been traveling some
850 miles from Montgomery, Ala,,
to the University of Oklahoma
every two or three weeks since
September when her husband,
an Air Force captain, was as-
signed to duty at Maxwell Air
Force Base in Montgomery.
Mrs. Knapp, a music major,
will complete requirements for a
masters degree this month when
she presents her graduate piano
recital and completes her final
examination.

In Honor
by Watson B. Duncan, III.
"Let us today,
Who breathe the final sweetness
of May,
Bing the enwreathed bay
For those who trod the sacrificial
way 1
sacred sod,
And endeared dust,
Thus would we keep our trust,
Our trust which is remembrance,
and the just
Tribute to those who fought and
who found their God!"
We pause for a few minutes
at eleven o'clock to honor all our
fighting men of all past wars.
This Memorial Day of 1969 we
think especially of our gallant
young men who are fighting the
frustrating war in Vietnam and
those who have died there and
who are dying there at this very
moment.
During the past 12 months I
have received six letters from
some of our PBJC young men
who are now in Vietnam. I should
like to lift from these letters
three sentences and share them
with you this morning.
One young man wrote: "There
is so much hate in our world to-
day. Tell them that life has true
meaning only through love."
Another one of our junior col-
lege alumni wrote from Vietnam:
"No matter how cruel, heartless
or hateful my surroundings may
be, I refuse bitterness."
And finally this sentence from
a letter which a former student
wrote from Vietnam only this
past March: "Today I learned
forgiveness. I helped a wounded
enemy soldier."
Since 1963 Memorial Day has
taken on a new aspect for many
Americans, both because of the
closeness of the date to the birth-
day, May 29, of the youthful,
assassinated 35th President of the
United States, John F. Kennedy,
and because of the location of the
late President's grave on a hill-
side in Arlington National Ceme-
tery.
Today is May 29 — and John
F. Kennedy would have been 52
years old today. Five and a half
eventful years have passed since
an assassin's bullet ended the life
of John F. Kennedy These were
years in which he, had he lived,
would have been confronted with
some of the most critical deci-
sions ever to be faced by a Chief
Executive in all the history of
his nation.
How John F. Kennedy would
lave resolved these decisions
nust be a matter of conjecture.
But there is little doubt that all
Americans, who carry the bright
JFK image in their hearts, be-
lieve that he would have acted
with wisdom, with courage, and
with honor.

LEST WE FORGET - Watson B. Duncan, ing services held last week. The event was
III, chairman of the communications depart- sponsored by the Circle-K service club,
ment, delivers his Memorial Day address dur-
It is too soon to assess the Ken-
nedy years in the light of histori-
cal perspective. It is a certainty,
however, that history will see
John F. Kennedy as the first
United States President to be con-
fronted with the very real possi-
bility of nuclear war, and will
reserve a special chapter for his
calm courage and unshakeable de-
termination in the now-famous
face-down of Soviet Premier Ni-
kita Khrushchev during the Cuban
crisis.
It has often been said that the
memory of America's youngest
President will never die, and it
is not only Americans who will
never forget John F. Kennedy. He
had the magic touch to generate
love and respect m the hearts of
people of all nations.
He was cheered by people with
tears in their eyes in the shadow
of the Berlin Wall. England has
set aside an acre of its hallowed
ground at Runnymede, site of
the signing of the Magna Carta,
for a Kennedy Memorial — and
there are many, many other such
tributes all across the world.
John F. Kennedy's memory is
treasured not only as a symbol
of the American way of life, but
as a symbol of humanity's noblest
aspirations by all people every-
where who believe — as he be-
lieved — in the ultimate of jus-
tice and freedom.
With pride shall we ever recall
his heroism in battle, his courage
in the face of injury and illness,
his complete dedication to the
ideal of liberty for all men and
all races.
For John Fitzgerald Kennedy
was not an ordinary man. He was
the first President born in this
century, the first of the Catholic
faith, the first to reach out to
space, the first to care deeply
about the quality of American
life. There were poets at his In-
augural. That special Kennedy
quality that some called by the
superficial name of "style" was
in reality his insistence on ex-
cellence — excellence for his
country and for himself, excel-
lence in matters of talent as well
as taste. One of his closest friends
said of him: "He was eloquent
but never pompous, tough but al-
ways gentle, an idealist but still
a realist. He understood the dif-
ference between patience and
hesitation."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy had a
special appeal to the youth of
America. His outlook of optimism
and courage was understood by
young America, and indeed, by
youth throughout the world. He
inspired them by his eloquence.
He energized them through his
own vitality, but the most im-
portant contribution was his per-
suasive argument to the young
people of our country to enter
the field of politics and govern-
ment. He regarded politics as one
of the highest forms of human
endeavor and he considered serv-
ice to his country second to none
in the fulfillment of a meaning-

and vigor. He seemed to think
that things like music and paint-
ing and literature were essential
parts of American life and that
it was worthwhile to know what
the musicians and artists and

Shakespearian Adaptation -Home Made Success
Twelfth Night At The Crossroads
by Peggy Cullen
'Comljcr Associate Editor
An hilarious adaptation of Shake-
speares' 17th. century play, "The
twelfth Night," both amused and
charmed audiences last weekend
*rth the dynamic presentation of
E6 musical western, "The Twelfth
Sight At the Crossroads."
The production was as home
sade as apple pie, yet extreme-
ly professional. Director, Frank
Leahy rewrote the entire script
while Marlene Roughton and Bill
'Donahue scored and composed all
the music in the play. Student di-
rectors were William Gass and
Gerald Matthews.
Although the cast was one of
the largest on the PBJC stage,
this production was one of the
best balanced productions, includ-
ing acting, music and technical
aspects, ever presented here.
The time of the play was 1869,
the place was Nevada Territory,
the scene of one of the most com-
plicating predicaments between
the sexes that probably ever oc-
curred.
Maggie O'Hara, who dressed as
a cowboy to conceal her sex in
case of Indian attack, was por-
trayed by Marlene Roughton. She
was mistaken to be her twin
brother Michael, enacted by the
versatile Gig Kramer.
Thus the plot was erroneously

established for the following com-
edy of errors.
At the bar scene you were in-
troduced to the favorite, "Four
Musketeers" of the play who
sang the showstopper, "Shake-
spearian Rag."
Nick Bougis as Funeral, the
Bartender, gave a fantastic per-
formance which nearly brought
the house down with fractured
Shakespearian lines followed by
that "Laugh In" fall behind the
bar.
The song and dance girl at the
bar, Mrs. Lois Meyer, enacted
Maria. Toby, portrayed by John
A. Murphy, gave a humorous
performance of the man with a
drink and a plan.
To complete this dynamic four-
some was Senor Antonio, the gat
rich schemer from out of town,
played by Martm Tischler. His
side kick, Princess Finesse (Chris
Holter) was an exotic belly dancer
with everything, including talent.
Bob Evans, who sang and
danced, played a dual role in
the production. He portrayed Wil-
bur O'Loughlin on the wagon
train and also the hilarious Sgt.
Barnaby Peapicker.
The humor of Chief Chicken
Feather (John Stankiewicz) mani-
fested great rapport with the audi-
ence as he attempted to wed
Michael to his healthy daughter,
Princess Cactus Blossom (Pam
Schrakengast).
The last three stars, but cer-
tainly far from the least, had
the difficult task of maintaining
serious roles despite the prevail-
ing humor.

owner named Libby who was the
beautiful Miss that every man
loved. She sang well and gave
an excellent performance in her
respective role.

A Gross Mistake
A decision b\ the Florida State Board of Regents to
award a franchise for a state college of journalism at Florida
State University appears to be a gross misjudgment on the
part of the board.
We feel that the University of South Florida was the
most logical, if not the only choice for the establishment of
such a school.
South Florida boasts not only one of the nation's leading
student newspapers, The Oracle, which recently won the
Associated Collegiate Press award of Pacemaker given to only
five colleges in the country, but has as the head of its jour-
nalism department one of the most outstanding men in the
field of journalism, Arthur Sanderson.
We feel that the board of regents should open this mat-
ter up for further study.
Their misjudgment may have forced South Florida stu-
dents to -spend thousands of dollars to attend a school of
journalism.

'Comber Stuff Writci
Dr. Samuel Bottosto, head of
the Social Science Department, is
a person who has prepared him-
self to be a teacher since the
sixth grade.
He feels that his background
and preparation equip him unique-
ly to guide and counsel young
people who are undergoing a
collegiate experience in one form
or another.
When asked about his philoso-
phy of education he answered:
"It is based on assisting people
to achieve a sense of fulfillment
and to help them to do the thing
they can and want to do."
Many of the students on cam-
pus who have had an opportunity
to hear him lecture, are of the
opinion that he is both subjec-
tive and overly-critical in his
-manner.
This is due in part, to his tech-
nique of teaching; one of provok-
ing his students into participat-
ing in class discussions.
Another reason for this type
of opinion results from negative
thinking on the part of the stu-
dent.
Probably a majority of these
students feel they are being crit-
icized when in reality they are
being stimulated to think.
Dr. Bottosto feels that provoca-
tion or excitement in teaching
will heighten the interest in teach-

ing, and remarked that "The
'cardinal crime' in teaching is to
be a bore."
Anyone who has ever sat in
a classroom for an hour, or an
hour-and-a-half and listened to an
instructor mumble words right
out of his notes in the same
nauseating tone of voice, would
readily welcome a provocative
technique of instruction.
Aside from his educational in-
terests, Dr. Bottosto has strong
opinions on problems confronting
our country as a whole:
"The most volatile situation in
American culture at this time, is
our continued failure to meet the
challenge to include the Ameri-
can Negro fully and completely
into American Society.
The process of including Ne-
gros into American Society has
barely begun — the answer to
this problem lies on our College
Campuses."
Dr. Bottosto, hailed by many
as one of the most prominent
and interesting figures on our
campus, closed with a note of
optimism.
"I think we will proceed grad-
ually toward a more sane and
responsible system, improve the
quality of associated living in
America, and a new Golden Era
of human relationship around the
world."

CINEMA
MGM Spectacular Back To Haunt Moviegoers
by Ray Olson
ACP Movie Reviewer
Nearly ten years after its in-
itial thunderous success, "Ben-
Hur," that landmark of Fifties
cinematic schlock, is being hauled
out again for what it's worth to
MGM.
The logic behind the re-release
ts, apparently, that if people lined
up for it once, they'll do it again.
MGM's reasoning rests on the
UTILE MAN ON CAMPUS
''I JUST PI WT THINK AHYcHB coaiv ?oa6\3\x

assumption that "Ben-Hur" is
like '"Gone With the Wind," a
perenially popular attraction —
one that each succeeding genera-
tion of moviegoers will want to
see.
What's so great about "Ben-
Hur?" The question was on my
mind when, after two days of
bondage to a press schedule of
interviews and various entertain-
ments designed to keep us review-
ers happy and well-oiled, I fi-
nally saw the Second World Pre-
mier of "Ben-Hur" in Miami
Beach, Feb. 25.
If it did nothing else, the ex-
perience answered my question.
"Ben-Hur" is the great Big Deal
of American movies. That's
what's so great about it.
It is spectacular, technically
mervelous, exciting but not too
exciting, and above all, bland
enough for the whole family.
Big Deal.
Exactly.
Not even "Gone With the Wind"
can compare with it. After all,
that picture includes some very
explicit sexual tension and one
daring little "damn" in the dia-
log.
But "Ben-Hur!"
It's a "Tale of the Christ." It
scores on all bases. In its simple
(!) story of a rich young Jew,
clria 140 A.D., who by various
dramatic turns of fate, loses all
and then gains more, it shows
the triumphs of good over evil,
of truth over falsehood, of love
over hate (not to mention over
sex, for sex never must be men-
tioned) and of Faith over the
World. And all of this without a
single syllable of even the mild-
est profanity.
As the gilt edge on this mas-
sive tapestry of Virtue Trium-
phant, you know Who shows up
whenever the going gets rough.
At the end of the film, you
can bet your crucifix we're not
just going back to Tara where
it'll all look better in the morn-
ing. We're storming them heaven-
ly gates with Ben-Hur and Him.
And that is indeed a Big Deal.
Unfortunately, like most Big
Deals, it is impressive only to
the undiscriminating eye.
BEN HUR
In order to fully enjoy "Ben-
Hur," you must watch it without
esthetic judgment. If you caa do
this, you can easily accept it for
the milestone of lame-brained art
that it is.
If you can't suspend judgment,
you're bound to notice "Ben-Hur"
is pretty thin stuff. The plot is
hopelessly episodic— the only way
continity is maintained is by be-
ginning or ending each major se-
quence with an explanation of
what it or the next sequence ml
be about.
This necessary practice ulti-
mately gives the impression the

sequently, the force of His thought
is never felt.
MGM spent fifteen million dol-
lars making "Ben-Hur" into the
biggest load of cheap thrills ever,
and, by golly, that's exactly what
it is.
Enjoy it for all that, no ques-
tions asked, and it really may
seem deserving of its eleven Os-
cars, Second World Premier and
all the other ballyhoo that has
made it the most honored motion
picture of all time and the great
Big Deal of the century.
Myers added that despite a
flood of requests from some of
the countrys top stock car driv-
ers, the organization has elected
to recruit drivers from among the
nation's leading disc jockeys and
radio-TV sportscasters, who, he
said, have logged more miles at
speed on golf carts than any other
ethnic group.
"The decision was made in the
interest of safety," said Myers, a
disc jockey for KOGO radio in
San Diego — who coincidentally
will drive a cart in the fray.
Other early entries include pop-
ular Honolulu dee - jay J. Aku
"The Head Papule" of radio
station WGMB; Bill Beal of
WNOE-radio, New Orleans, La.;
Paul Berlin of KNUZ-radio, Hous-
ton, Texas; Glen Saunders of
KIMN-radio, Denver, Colo.; Bob
Halloran and Chuck Zink of
WTVJ-TV, Miami, Fla., and Ed
Cain of WJXT-TV, Jacksonville,
Fla.
The machines are four- wheel
Westinghouse carts similar to
"street" models with a minimum
of as yet undisclosed modifica-
tions allowed. Top speeds are ex-
pected to reach 15 mph. The carts
are propelled by electric motors
powered by Autolite high-perform-
ance batteries.

F. lee Bailey Explains
The Criminal Lawyer
(ACP) — Mention the name Francis Lee Bailey and a
person is likely to visualize a flamboyant and successful trial
lawyer living an exciting, glamorous life.
"My public image is grossly exaggerated," he claims.
"Nobody lives like Perry Mason, except maybe Raymond
Burr."
The 35-year-old criminal lawyer has gained both fame
and notoriety for his defenses of Sam Sheppard, Carl Cop-
polino, Albert DeSalvo, the self-proclaimed "Boston Strangler,"
and Charles Schmidt, the "Pied Piper of Tucson."
In his speech to the Arizona trial lawyers, Bailey dis-
cussed techniques and presentation of evidence in criminal
cases.
Bailey said an average murder case requires over 500
hours of advance preparation, In an extraordinary case such
as the trial of Sheppard, thousands of hours are needed,
"The search for truth is secondary today," he explained.
"The criminal lawyer searches instead for evidence which
will raise a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed
the crime."
He said almost anything is admissible as evidence if pre-
sented in the right way and almost anything is objectionable
if presented in the wrong way.
"There are two good reasons for video tape," he pointed
out. "First, it makes a good record. Second, it is possible to
go back over the tape and sec the reaction of your client to
certain questions. This is important in evaluating the credi-
bility of bis story and cannot be determined by just bearing
his voice."
Bailey said the basis of a good defense depends largely
on the defense counsel's confidence that his client is telling
the truth.
Speed is the utmost importance to the defense counsel,
said Bailey. He commented, "a lawyer should be able to ques-
tion faster than a lying witness can make up answers."
Bailey has had plenty of experience in using these tech-
niques while achieving varying degrees of success since his
graduation from the Boston University Law School in I960.
Self-Teaching
A Time Saver
(ACP) — College students can
learn as much basic economics
in 12 hours of self-teaching with
programmed textbooks as they
do in 42 hours of regular class-
room instruction, according to a
study presented at the annual
meeting of American Economic
Association m Chicago, Illinois.
Students who learned through
the programmed texts performed
better on "complex application"
than on "simple recognition"
questions, and seemed to have a
generally positive attitude toward
the program, authors of the study
said.
