Editorial
Editor's Welcome
The editorial staff of the Beachcomber would like to welcome all
new and returning students to life at JC.
Most students will come to recognize the weekly, award-winning
"Voice of the PBJC. Student" as a familiar friend on Monday
morning, something to accompany that cup of "walce-me-up-
please-so-I-can-pass-that-test" coffee. The Beachcomber is the
watchdog of Student Government, a careful follower of the
administration and District Board of Trustees, an adamant
supporter of the school, but also one of its best critics; in general, an .
informative publication that lets students and faculty know what is
going on - or what should be .
Under the experienced arm of adviser and staff, the Beachcomber
provides essential experience for those who plan^ careers in the
fields of journalism, photography, advertising, and business. It is
also an interesting experience and one of the best activities on
campus.
All those who are interested, both experienced and novice, should
apply at the paper's offices in the Student Publications building
next to the cafeteria. All positions are open.
Honorariums are available for those with major positions to help
with college expenses. Ad salespersons receive commissions on
their sales.
The Beachcomber is a member of the Associated Collegiate Press
and the Florida Junior College Press Association.

SG Serves As Vital Campus Force
Student activities at JC are planned and managed by the
Executive Board of the Student Government. Comprised of
four student elected officers in the positions of president,
vice-president, treasurer, and secretary, the SG Executive
Board handles use of activity funds in excess of S30,OO0
annually.
SG periodically sponsors dances, concerts, and film nights
for the student body. Concerts in the past have featured such
renown groups as the Allman Brothers Band.
But fun and music are not the only function of Student
Government; SG serves as the guiding force with which the
students exercise perogative in government in an organized,
well-financed public forum.
Twenty-four students at large are elected to the Student
Body Senate. The Senate is elected in September in a
campus-wide general election. Any student maintaining 12
hours and having a 2.2 grade point average (past academic
records are referred to for freshmen) may campaign for a
Senate seat. A 2.0 grade point average must be maintained
while in office.
The Senate considers appropriation of SG monies as well as
the initiation of change for the betterment of the student.
Instrumental in revising an attendance policy, the SG
Senate has also helped to assist the progress of women's
athletics, and is still involved in the creation of a Judicial
Department.
The Executive Cabinet consists of five secretaries who are
appointed to head Cabinet departments of Elections,
Organizations, Productions, Publications and Publicity. Pour
students are also appointed to, serve in each of the five
Cabinet departments.
Applications for student government positions are available
from the offices of SG at the North SAC lounge.
Students have the right to suggest changes to their elected
leaders, if they so desire. Student participation is encouraged
in Student Government as in all activities.
SG Executive Board
Urges Participotion
Dear Fellow students,
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Palm
Beach Junior College for the 1974-75 school year. We hope your
stay at PBJC will be both fruitful and enjoyable.
Student Government serves as a channel between students and
administration, to inform administration of student needs and
desire. The student body Senate is one branch of this channel; the
Senate can only work and be successful in this function if you, the
students, are willing to take part.
In September 1974 elections will be held to fill the positions of the
Senate. In this election, all 24 seats are open. A 2.2- average is
needed to file for election and once in the senate, a Senator must
maintain a 2.0 average.
During the previous school year the Student Government,
including members of the Senate, played a major role in acquiring
money for women's athletics.
For those who desire to participate in the decision-making
process that affects all students at PBJC, we urge as many students
as possible to run in the Senatorial elections. For those students that
cannot take a direct part in Student Government, we urge you to
make your voice heard and let the SG officials know what you want
to see done.
Again, we hope all students will enjoy their stay at PBJC.
SG Executive Board
Message To Vets
VETERANS OF MILITARY SERVICE have a complete office
devoted to their benefit in the Administration Building of Palm
Beach Junior College. The college is approved by the State
Department of Education and the Veterans Administration for
training. No matter what law or department under which you are
planning to attend, if you are a vet you should make application
through the St. Petersburg Office or the college Registrar's Office to
obtain your benefits.
Regardless of the circumstances, always follow closely the forms
sent to you and handed to you during your school life. If you don't,
forget about receiving any money. Your subsistence check normally
arrives about the tenth of each month of school; that is, after the
first two or three months of initial enrollment. So have some cash on
hand to tide you through from now until at least three months from

Security Chief Grant Battels: 'Theft has decreased because
students are making a conscious effort to prevent it."
Library Offers Services
Located on the &st floor of
the Library Learning Resources
Center, the Career Information
and Study Center is designed to
provide assistance with the
student's individual career
development. In addition to
guidance and counseling activi-
ties, the Center includes a
centralized repository of career
information of the standard
variety - description of career,
duties and responsibilities,
salary estimates, job outlook,
educational and personal quali-
fications, etc. - A collection of
up-to-date print and non-pririt
information about careers inclu-
ding films, slides, recording and
video cassettes available.
A Job Bank is also in use here
at JC. The Job Bank provides a
daily computer list of all job

ing opportunities listed with the
Florida State Employment
Service.
The second floor of the library
features general reading mater-
ia! in the form of periodicals and
microfilm. There are eight
typewriters as well as an electric
calculator available for student
use.
The third floor holds the
general book collection along
with reference materials, more
typewriters, and individual
conference and study rooms for
student use.
Faced with a campus
encompassing 114 acres of land
and 'supporting 25 buildings.
Campus Security has quite a
responsibility,
However, their work is
primarily confined to issuing
parking and traffic violations
instead of the more serious
violations usually faced by
security officers.
JC's security force has a
friendly relationship with the
students, most officers being
easily recognized by regular
students.
Chief Grant Bartels, a veteran
of law enforpement work,
credits student responsibility as
a strong factor in the decrease of
theft, usually of tape decks and
books. "Theift has decreased,"
said Bartels, "because the
students are making a conscious
effort to prevent it." He cited
student cooperation in the
future if the trend is to continue.
Bartels urged all students to
comply with the following:
• Lock your car.
• Read rules governing conduct
as outlined in parking and traffic
regulations.
'•Obey campus traffic regula-
tions.
An unlocked car is a tempting
invitation for someone to rip you
off.
Traffic regulations were
instituted for a purpose - to
make parking and driving on
campus safer. Treat campus
regulations as you would
off-campus rules.

The Old
PBJC History Details
Rapid Expansion Rate
Palm Beach Junior College, establish-
ed in 1933, is the oldest Junior College in
Florida. Conceived by two local
educators, the Superintendent of Schools,
Joseph Youngblood and Howell Watkins,
Principal of Palm Beach High School,
Palm Beach Junior College first held
classes in a small three room building
adjacent to Palm Beach High School.
The college served as an alternative for
. . And The New
^^
high school graduates who could not
afford to attend state universities and
who did not have adequate education to
get good paying jobs in the community.
PBJC remained at Palm Beach High
School until 1948, when the enrollment
reached an all-time high of 175. The
college then moved to Morrison Field,
now Palm Beach International Airport,
taking over the deserted Army barracks.
For the first - and only - time in its
history, PBJC offered dormitories and a
swimming pool, plus a chapel and an
excess of classroom space to its students.
The good life was short lived. 1951
brought about a crisis which many
thought would be the end of PBJC.
Enrollment had soared to 415 when the
Korean conflict forced the armed services
to reactivate Morrison Field. Not able to
find suitable grounds for a campus, PBJC
moved into the town hall of Lake Park.
There the college remained until 1956,
when the increasing enrollment forced
the town Fathers to request that the
college move to some other location .
This second crisis was resolved when
the Palm Beach County Board of
Commissioners donated to the county
school board the northwest corner of John
Prince Park, consisting of 114 acres, as a
permanent home for PBJC.
The fall of 1956 found 475 PBJC
students in their newly constructed
classrooms on the present campus. Two
years later. Dr. Harold C. Manor, current
president, assumed the leadership of
Palm Beach Junior College.
For the past 16 years, Dr. Manor has
witnessed many changes at PBJC. The
main campus has expanded into almost
full use, with, continued growth in
enrollment (now over 7,000 full and
part-time students), number and variety
of courses offered, and reputation in the
academic field.
Not only has the main campus grown to
its present state, but also four off campus
centers have steadily grown. These
centers are: General Classroom building
at FAU; Palm Beach Gardens, and
. Suncoast High Schools; Roosevelt Junior
High School; and the Glades Center in
Belle Glade, Fla.
Ironically, each of these centers are
larger now than PBJC was at its
conception.
The recent construction on Phase II of
the Criminal Justice Department is
evidence of the continuing growth of
Palm Beach Junior College. If current
trends of growth continue, PBJC will
become not only the oldest junior college
in the state, but also the most advanced
in academic circles.
62 Hours Needed
JG Graduation Requirements
General requirements for
graduation from Palm Beach
Junior College must be met by
all students, without regard to
the degree to be granted. Final
responsibility for meeting the
requirements for graduation for
either the Associate in .Arts
degree or the Associate in
Science degree rests with the
student.
1. Students must have 62
semester hours for graduation.
Not more than four semester
hours of music organization
credit and two semester hours of
physical education activity
credit will be allowed, unless
more than two hours is
specifically required in the
program.
2. The last 15 semester hours
of credit must be earned in
residence. The student must be
in attendance during the term in
which he makes application for
graduation. In all cases,
graduation must follow a term in
which the student is in
attendance.
3. A cumulative grade point
average of not less than 2.0 or
"C" must be achieved in all
work attempted by all students.
4. All regular students will be
required to complete two
semester hours in a physical
education activity. Exceptions to
this requirement are: adults
who have reached their 25
GPA Informafion
Although the average course
load for a student at PBJC is
considered to be 16 semester
hours, a student who enrolls for
a minimum of 12 semester- hours
is classified a full-time student.
Most students are not allowed
to carry more than 18 semester
hours.
However, a student whose
name appears on the Dean's
List for the previous term and
who has at least a 3.0
cumulative average, may enroll
in a maximum of 21 semester
hours during a regular term and
14 semester hours during the 12
week Spring Term.
It is recommended that
students with below 2.0 GPA
limit their course load to 12
hours.
A student's grade point
average (GPA) is computed by
dividing his total number of
quality points by his total
number of hoiirs attempted.
Quality points are assigned as
follows: A, four points per credit
hour; B, three points per credit
hour; C, two points per credit
hour; D, one point per credit
hour.

Attendance Policy
An attendance policy which allows a student to be
absent from a maximum of 25 per cent of his class
meetings was instituted by the college in 1972 through the
cooperation of the Student Government, Faculty Senate,
and the administration.
•Students have complete responsibility for registering
and withdrawing from classes. If a student does not
withdraw from a class, he will receive the letter grade he
has earned. The instructor has the option of dropping a
stifdent after the 25 per cent absence level has been
reached.
The two week withdrawal limitation prior to the start of
final exams will be enforced, with these exceptions:
The student may completely withdraw from school right
up to the start of the final exam week and during the
course of both Spring I and II, the student may withdraw
from class up to one week before the final exam.
It will be the student's responsibility to complete the
official withdrawal procedures for assured withdrawal.
A student will receive an automatic "F" if he misses
more than 25 per cent of his class meetings unless he
withdraws in accordance with the above stated policies.
In the case of extreme extenuating circumstances a
student may, with the approval of the instructor, be
permitted to remain in the course beyond the 25 per cent
maximum, thereby receiving the grade earned.

respected coaches in the area
and has coached many success-
ful teams in both track and cross
country.
The cross country team holds
home meets at John Prince Park
which is located on Congress
Avenue just south of the
college.
This is the first year for cvo.ss
country scholarships at PBJC.
According to the rules of the
NJCAA and FJCC the cross
country program is limited to
seven grants a year for
participants in the enduring
sport.
The golf team is coached by
Ray Daugherity.
PBJC has the privilege of
being able to hold their home
matches on two of the area's
best courses.
Harris McGirt is the coach of
the Pacer tennis team. McGirt is
returning from a one-year
sabbatical during which he was
replaced by Hamid Facquire
who led the netters to a second
place finish in the state meet.

School Starts With A Bang
By Jay Kravetz
Photo Editor
A bullet in his head and two in his chest,
Milton Lee Butler disarmed his assailant,
Shirley Bell, after an August 26 shooting in
the parking lot of the main campus.
According to Security Chief Grant
Bartels, the shooting took place at about
12:15 p.m., on the first day of classes for
the fall term.
According to Bartels, Miss Bell, of 1369
Uth Street West Palm Beach, had told him
that she was a student attending classes,
"1 later foUnd out she was not a student,"
said Bartels.
Butler, of 1001 Sapodilla Avenue, West
Palm Beach, is also not a student. John F.
Kennedy Hospital would not divulge
Butler's condition.
Bartels' explained the shooting "Butler
was waiting for Miss Bell in the parking
lot. When Miss Bell went to her car, Butler
approached her, at which point she shot
him three times with a .22 caliber pistol.
"He then struggled with her for the gun
and she fell and cut her face. When Butler
picked up the gun. Miss Bell ran into the
Administrative Office, while Butler tried to
drive away.
"Butler did get to the college's west
parking lot at which point he got dizzy and
was driven to Kennedy Hospital by two
coeds," Bartel continued.
"In the meantime a witness ran to the
Campus Police Room where I was notified
of the shooting. On my way to the parking
lot 1 bumped into Miss Bell. She admitted .
shooting at Butler, but did not know whether
she had hit him,"
Although Butler would not press
charges, Miss Bell was charged with
aggravated assault by the police.

JC Breaks Record
By Bruce Moore
iVewsEditor
Enrollment at JC has
reached an all-tinae high,
according to tentative figures
released last week by
Registrar Laurence May-
field.
The 1973 enrollment of
7,071, was increased this
year by seven per cent
(7,667), five per cent more
than the projected two per
cent increase.
JC's current figures for
the main campus and the
three branches are as
follows:
-5961 Main Campus
-560 Palm Beach Gardens
-398 Belle Glade
-500 mixed enrollments
(students who are enrolled at
more than one campus.)
Mayfield attributes the
unexpected increase to the
economic situation. "Many
students could not find jobs
so they came back to
school," said Mayfield.
"The attractiveness of some
of our technical programs is
also a big factor."
This year's registration
was one of the smoothest
sign-ups in recent years,
according to Mayfield.
"There were some long lines
a few times - but they didn't
last for long.

Dr. Neal Justin, candidate for the United States
Senate, visited the JC campus last Thursday and
spoke to an estimated 150 students in the cafeteria.
Justin hand-shook his way from table to table,
answering questions and passing out campaign
literature. Casually dressed and smiling, he spoke
with the students for forty five minutes on a variety
of issues, including inflation and taxation.
"An "Independent" Democrat, on leave from
Florida Atlantic University, Justin has had
previous governmental experience as a member of

him, as proposed by the
Faculty Senate last summer.
It states students are
responsible for withdrawing

ignore this option, the
instructor can drop him after
a 25% absence without
failing him, as the previous
policy stated.

proposed the change, con-

These meetings are held to

jurisdiction, such as student
activities, faculty affairs, and
instructional matters, as long
as these matters are not
already specified by state
law or the District Board of

This Thursday, the Faculty

their attempt to "provide an
orderly process for improv-
ing communications and-
mutual understanding within

December), the Auditorium cannot be used
as a site for the test. However, Cook is
checking into the possibility of using a
room in the newly constructed Criminal

students.
"Anyone who is going to graduate in
December should take the CLEP in
October, if they are interested in taking the
test before graduation," warns Cook.
Cook also emphasizes these items of
interest:
All subject exams last 90 minutes. Two
exams may be taken in the morning and
two in the afternoon. Any combination of
general and subject exams may be taken as
long as time limits are met.
Scores will be mailed 5 weeks after the
exam is taken.

two to five tests taken.
Breakfast, Lunch AND Dinner
Cafe Extends Hours
By Gwen Constock
Staff Writer
The cafeteria is extending its hours to be available to the majority
of the student body. Jay MacLees ,■ manager, hopes the students will
take advantage of the new schedule. The new schedule is 7 a.m. to 9
p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays. The
cafeteria is now serving breakfast and offers a snackline of
hamburgers, hotdogs, french fries, etc., to the night students.
Problems with the new hours? Yes, as far as students are
concerned. Jay MacLjees replies, "Not enough students are aware
that we are available to them in the morning and at night. Breakfast
seems to be picking up but night service is poor. The break for
classes is only 15 minutes and it's a long walk from some places on
campus. Some students are not even aware we serve breakfast. But
the main cause is too many people just do not know the cafeteria
hours."
MacLees who has been at the Palm Beach Junior College for two
years and is employed by the Professional Food Service
Management, Inc., is greatly aware of students's -need to
congregate.
"I think the cafeteria is a center point at the college and that's
good," say MacLees. "There is a SAC Lounge but not many
students use it. The cafeteria seems to be the place where you meet
friends, grab a cup of coffee, and sit down and rest your feet. There
is no other place on campus that I can think of where the students
can gather."
The Professional Food Service Management, Inc., has been
serving PBJC for the last three years. They offer a hot lunch line
from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and a corner bar. The comer bar is on a
trial time of 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and serves ice cream, hot dogs,
pretzels, sandwiches and drinks. MacLees said that there will be
milk shakes and pizza offered m the very near future.
The cafeteria manager hopes that students who have any
suggestions place them in the suggestion box located in the
cafeteria at the comer bar.
^^ *"»^'?D^Hlr,*i?^?tl*'^^^*^"^ *'°"" * ^'i'='=ess, MacLees
replies, "WE'RE HERE AND AVAILABLE. It's up to the students
to take advantage of the cafeteria."
Board Grants Pay Boost
JC's District Board of
Trustees met throughout the
summer resulting in a boost
in employees wages, and a
pending purchase of land for
a permanent Glades Center
site.
Employees of JC were
given a $600 cost of living
adjustment for the 1973-74
fiscal year at the June
meeting. The trustees voted
unanimously for the adjust-
ment after Dr. Harold C.
Manor, PBJC President,
made the recommendation.
Manor cited an unexpected
fiscal year-end (June 30),
fund balance that was
$121,191 higher than earlier
estimates, as his reason for
the pay increase.
Previously, the board had
granted a $50 per month
saiaiy increase for the
1974-75 fiscal year to
classified employees and a
four per cent increase to
teachers and administrators.
At the July meeting, the
board was informed by

For U.S. Senate:
13 Vie For Nomination
By Marc Bressler
In the race for the U.S. Senate
seat of Sen. Edward Gurney,
R- Winter Park (who dropped out
after having been indicted by a
federal grand jury on charges of
illegal campaign practices), there
are thirteen contenders; 11
Democrats and two Republlicans
are vying for their respective
party nominations in the Sept. 10
primary.
The candidates are:
ROBERT BREWSTER, D-
Cape Canaveral, still another
unknown;
GEORGE CALMER, D, Davie
a relative unknown and
newcomer to politics;
JACK ECKERD.R-Belleaire, for-
mer chairman of the board of a
self-built drugstore corporation
who ran for governor in 1970;
BILL GUNTER, D-Orlando,
U.S. Congressman for Florida's
5th district;
PAULA HAWKINS, R-Orlando
Public Service Commissioner;
DAVID HIGGINBOTTOM, D-
Frostproof, another newc omer to
the Senate race;
MALLORY HORNE.D-Tallahas-
see, president of the Florida
Senate:
NEAL JUSTIN, D-Boca Raton,
professor at Florida Atlantic
University;
DUAINE MACON, D-Pensa-
cola, still another newcomer to
the Senate race;
RICHARD PETTIGREW. D-
Miami, Florida legislator;
RICHARD STONE D-Miami,
former Florida Secretary of State;
GLENN TURNER, D-Orlando,
former millionaire of "Dare To Be
Great" fame;
BURTON YOUNG, D-Miami,
former president of the Florida
Bar Association.
Ever since the Washington
Post broke the Watergate story,
the majority of candidates across
the country have been campaign-
ing on either their honesty or
their prior non-involvement in
politics.
Young, Turner and Justin all
declare that they are not part of
the corrupt political machines
that allegedly exist in all forms of
government.
"I've been told to give up
because I lacked a political
machine, big money, and long
term political experience. Dr.
Justin declared. "Look at the
corrupt mess we've reaped
because this was the way to
Washington. 4'
But the other candidates,
notably Hawkins, Pettigrew,
Stone, Gunter, and Home, stand
on their records of service and
stress that not all politicians are
"Watergaters". Hawkins, in fact,
is a staunch defender of former
president Richard Nixon, and
says he vvas misled by those
around him.
Financial disclosure laws have
made some politicians nervous,
thinking that voters associate
wealth with special interest
groups. However, drugstore
magnate Jack Eckerd feels his
wealth is an asset. Eckerd
contends that, because of his
wealth, he will not be tempted by
those special interest groups.
The main issue in the campaign
is the problem of inflation and
how to cope with it. All the
candidates recognize the problem,
but few agree on just how to
handleit.
Young feels that interest rates
are way too high and that some
controls are needed.
Pettigrew favors selective
controls to break up high profit
earning monopolies such as oil
corporations and the auto
industry.
Both Stone and Justin seek
better balanced government
spending as one solution to
halting inflation.
Higginbottom, who has travel-
ed and lived in numerous foreign
countries, is promoting the
concept of a world court to settle
international disputes.
Conservatives Vs.
Incunfibent Askew
By Marc Bressler
"I ran a positive campaign four years ago against an
incumbent" Gov. Reubin Askew stated recently, "and I'm not
likely to do anything less when I'm running as incutnbent."
The 46 year old governor of Florida seems to be doing just
that. Askew is riding high on his popularity with both the public
and the press, and so far has ignored the conservative challenge
by his opponents in the Sept. 10 Democratic primary.
This is a far cry from 1970 when then Sen. Askew regularly
criticized former governor Claude Kirk. But polls have shown
Askew so far ahead of the other candidates that he is just biding
his time until the November general election when he will clash
with Republican Jerry Thomas. Thomas, the only Republican
gubernatorial candidate, will not be on the Sept. 10 ballot as he is
unopposed.
Hoping to replace Askew as governor are:
LT. GOV. TOM ADAMS, who has split politically from Askew
after his 1973 censure by the Florida House, has received the
largest amount of publicity among the challengers. Adams has
issued a series of "Dear Reubin" letters to the governor
criticizing him and his programs. To date, no major revelations
that could damage Askew's chances for reelection have surfaced.
His running mate is Burl McCormick, former mayor of Hialeah
Gardens.
NORMAN BIE, a Clearwater attorney and newcomer to
politics who is attempting to gain the support of pro-George
Wallace voters in the state. His running mate is Lake Worth
realtor Florence Keen.
BEN HILL GRIFFIN a millionaire citrus grower from
Frostproof who is a former state senator. Griffin barely made the
filing deadline for the office. His wife, Ellie, is running for the
lieutenant governor post, but Griffin plans to abolish the position
if elected,
Of the three challengers, only Adams has made any real
promises. He wants to reduce the state sales tax rate from four
to three per cent, lower license plate costs, exempt utility
companies from the corporate income tax, and establish some
form of legalized gambling in the state.
Bie has charged that state taxes are too high and want to roll
back state spending. He is against busing for desegragation
purposes, another major conflict with Askew. Bie has also
pledged to. try to repeal the utility company income taxes.
Griffin has called for the abolishment of the office of lieutenant
governor and says his wife will serve without pay until that is
accomplished. He is in favor of reducing the governor's term to
a single six year period instead of the current two four year
terms.
Adams, Bie, and Griffin have all attacked Askew on the charge
that he is too liberal, that too many people are on the state
payroll, and that is his popularily is a creation of the press.
Askew's 1974 legislative proposals include lowering the
ceiling on school property taxes from 10 to eight mills, providing
more money for mass transportation, and requiring all elected
officials, candidates and appointees to delcare sources of
income. He endorses the Equal Rights Amendment and favors
busing.
Askew's running mate.is state Senator Jim Williams of Ocala.

Involvement: An Idea
Reubin Askew
Editor:
The following article is
written so that it may
encompass all those who sit
around on their fat wonder-
ing why the hell there's
nothing to do, why the world
is so down on them, why the
government is so screwed
up, why they can't ever get
ahead or why doesn't
someone fix something that's
wrong. I suppose that takes
care of just about everyone at
one time or another,
I think the basic reason
why I became involved and
why I urge others to do
likewise is that my money
and my life were being
manipulated by some force
and I didn't even have a say
in it.
So, to all you people
milling around and out on
this campus, stop for a
minute and ponder these
questions.
carefully to the answers your
mind conjures up, pick up a
student handbook or ask
some head muck-e-muck or
stop in and see someone on
the executive board, and find
out what organization on this
campus best fits you and
your ideas, then proceed to
put your thoughts into
motion and don't let little
things mess you up.

One Good Term
Deserves Another
The choice is clear-cut. Florida has had four years of honest,
open government in the public interest under the direction of
Governor Reubin Askew.^
Askew's accomplishments shine as an example of responsive
leadership and he should be returned to office forthwith.
Askew kept his promises made in 1970 and did far more for the
people of Florida in the past four years. He was instrumental in
enacting the following legislation for the benefit of the people.
Corporate Income Tax
Oil Spill Law
Financial Disclosure
Mass Transportation improvements
The governor has supported such controversial causes as busing
and the Equal Rights Amendment, both of which he stood firm on.
He has also been active in anti-pollution efforts and laws to protect
the environment.
Askew has made important strides in such programs as consumer
protection, law enforcement, health care and senior citizen services,
workmen's benefits, rehabilitation programs, and housing.
Askew was also instrumental in the establishment of a statewide
grand jury to investigate organized crime.
His selection for lieutenant governor, state Senator Jjm Williams,
is an able and willing addition to the ticket; Williams, is an able and
experienced legislator who will be a valuable asset to the citizens of
Florida.
The voters should give the Askew- Williams ticket a vote of
confidence Sept. 10 in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

Rape Defense
'J.MicheleNoffer
Participation Urged
A Monterey, California woman is on trial for first degree murder.
She is accused of murdering a 300-pound man who aided a companion
in her abduction and subsequent rape.
Inez Garcia claims that two men entered her home and waited to
meet with Fred Medrano. When Medrano arrived, a fight broke out
among the three men. Ms. Garcia persuaded the two men to leave and
accompanied them to the door where upon they seized her and dragged
her outside the house. They then raped her.
The prosecution says that there was no rape and that after the fight
in the house both Medrano and Ms. Garcia set out with guns to find the
men. They allegedly found them and shot at them. Medrano is
charged as an accomplice in the murder.
For the purposes of this column, I am going to assume that Ms.
Garcia was raped. Apparently Ms. Garcia is qiiite a personage in
California. Tlie feminists in the San Francisco Bay area have been
writing about her actions in articles, underground newspapers and
leaflets.
Although I don't agree with the lengths to which she chose to defend
herself (murder is never defendable) 1 believe that it is a promising
indication of women's new attitudes towards rape. I hope that women
will no longer succumb passively to rape.
:Incidents such as this will, at the very least, give men a second
thought before they commit rape.
FBI statistics suggest that rape is now the most widely committed
violent crime in the United States. I think it is an understatement to
suggest that current attitudes and actions by women toward rape are
non-productive.
In the past, women have been told to passively accept the rapist's
action to avoid possible murder. I, for one, wouldn't believe a rapist if
he told me to\,submit quietly or he would murder me. I believe that
women shouM learn to defend themselves, and fight back. We're
bound to win sometimes and if we don't, well, rape is still the most
frequent cause for murder among criminal acts committed against
women.

Whether or not the
student body of this school
reaHzes it, they are repre-
sented by a fine and capable
group of Student Govern-
ment officials.
But the potential of the
Student Government is in
many ways lying dormant.
The college now, as in the
past, has primarily concer-
ned itself with affairs
associated directly with the
school. I and many others
feel that there is an ever
pressing need for the faculty,
S.G., and hopefully the
student body to actively
participate in and involve
themselves with affau-s not
only associated with the
school, but with community,
state and possibly natioiial
affairs as well. The potential
that lies within the confines
of this campus are enorm-
ous. In relation to the
concerns of this letter, a
resource such as this is a
horrible waste to sit and rest
idle. Where beneficial
involvement is possible,
those areas should be
investigated. Problems,
valid grievances , and the like
of some substance should be
taken up by a concerned
person, group, committee,
organization and actions
should be initiated to correct
coverups, injustices, wrong-
doings and the like. It is to
the benefit of us all that
practices such as this are
enacted.
I am sure that many
people are aware of what a
reputation does for a college
and its students. PBJG's

(4) Be received in the
Beachcomber office no

All letters are subject

With all the shortages that
face us today in this ever
changing world of ours, we
can usually prepare our-
selves for the hardest of
hardships. Take away our
gas, our oil, our beer, ■ even
our toilet paper - and we can
still be happy. But the
ordeal of "doing without"
becomes too much to bear
when we learn that, mamma
mia, that there is a shortage
of pasta in Italy.
That's right, folks - the
home of the Pope and
parmigiana - has let United
Press International know
that a severe shortage of
pasta among residents has
occurred . Authorities are
blaming the shortage on -
you guessed it - the
consumers. I have to take
that explanation with a grain
of salt and a strand of
spaghetti.
Wholesalers report that
too many housewives are
stocking up on their favorite
form of paslar— and thus
creating a "ravioli rush" to
area groceries for the
inexpensive food, emptying
the shelves.
Spokesmen for the Italian
government and certain
officials in the Italian cabinet
(how could all those guys fit
into a little cabinet, I
wonder?) are saying that
certain jokes made during
the monologue of talk show
host Johnny CarsonoUi
caused the shortage. The
show, which has an
estimated 20 miUion Itahan
viewers nightly, sent mot-
hers scrambling to aU-night
stores to purchase large
amounts of spaghetti, lasag-
na noodles, linguine, ravioli,
and bottles of Elmer's glue.
The glue shortage has been
explained as Italian peasants
misinterpreting the word
"pasta", confusing it vrith
"paste".
What CarsonoUi was
supposed to have said, was,
"Even the Pope has been
having a hard time buying
pasta - he only likes
manicotti and zittinni shells
because they're holy."
Network spokesmen have
apologized for the mistake
and have publicly criticized
CarsonoUi for "not using his
noodle".
Beachcomber Endorses:
Florida Cabinet Posts
U.S. Senate
1
FOR SECRETARY OF
STATE - Don Pride, a
veteran reporter who was an
intregal part of the Askew
administration before he
resigned as press secretary
to run for this state and
Cabmet post. His honor and
integrity are above question;
the same dedication and
perserverance that went into
his years as an investigative
reporter for some of the
state's top newspapers will
prevail in the post of
Secretary of State.
FOR COMPTROLLER -
Gerald Lewis, a Miami
attorney and former state
senator. Lewis, a hard-wor-
king legislator both in the
state House and Senate, has
championed many worth-
while causes and will be a
welcome replacement for
Fred Dickinson, Jr., the
current officerholder. Dic-
kinson is under investigation
by a federal grand jury.
His impressive legislative
record includes serving
consumer and taxpayer
interests, advocating sup-
porting the government in
the sunshuae, no-fault divor-
ce, environmental protect-
ion, and needed reform. We
feel he will be a welcome
change.
FOR TREASURER - Jack
Shreve, a Merritt Island
attorney and former state
representative. Shreve, who
is recognized statewide for
his public concern as a
lawyer and in the state
legislature, has proven
himseff a servant of the
public. The incumbent,
Thomas O'Malley, is also
under investigation by a
grand jury, and such clouds
over these offices need to be
dispelled. Jack Shreve has
the governmental know-how
and desire to do just that.
FOR COMMISSIONER OF
EDUCATION - Ralph Tur-
hngton, former state legisla-
tor and current Commissio-
ner of Education.. Turlington
was appointed to this
position by Gov. Askew
recently, and is undoubtedly
the best man to continue on
in this post.
Turlington has served 24
productive years in the
House and 14 years on the
Education Committee. His
experience and his record
should be enough for him to
retain that post.
Republican - Jack Eckerd
The strongest points that can be made about Jack Eckerd is his
unquestioned integrity, his approach to government, and his
dedication.
Eckerd is running against Public Service Commissioner Paula
Hawkins in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate. While some
candidates have been harping on their opponents' wealth, we feel that
Jack Eckerd' s is an asset.
Eckerd is a self-made man whose name adorns several hundred
drugstores across the state. He built his empire, from which he
recently resigned as chairman of the board, without "special favors".
Because he is a millionaire several times over, those special interest
groups do not exert influence on him.
Jack Eckerd is the best of the field and deserves his party's
nomination.
Democrat
NealJustin
Lending a refreshing voice to today's political scene is Dr. Neal
Justin, professor at Florida Atlantic University and candidate for the
Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.
Justin is no newcomer to government; he was a legislator in Arizona
in the middle sixties. He wants to be known as a representative of the
"Middle Americans" and disavows any association with big business or
special groups.
Justin would be a welcome replacement for the indictment-plagued
Ed Gurney and those who confuse wealth and power with talent and
dedication. He favors a national Sunshine Law, stronger consumer and
environmental protection, a halt to inflation, and low cost public
transportation - all immediate concerns of the people.
While he contends to be a spokesman for the Middle Americans, we
feel he would make a fine spokesman for ALL Floridians, and help us
get the government we deserve.

hopeful, and continue with the
rest until this cycle changes.

Sagittarius: You're apt to say

you're new at JC and not yet

clearer than usual, resulting in

A newcomer to the PBJC
campus might wonder when he
first heard of the Pacesetters.
But, most anyone should be able
to set him straight. The
Pacesetters are a group, a unique
group, according to Ms. Pat
Johnson, who is the organizer and
director.
The Pacesetters is a Vocal -
Instrumental Show Performing
group, consisting of usually 20
members These 20 members are
divided into 5 instrumentalists,
playing piano, bass, percussion,
guitar, and flute, and 15 singers.
The music they perform ranges
from the Doobie Brothers to the
Carpenters, and includes excerpts
from Superstar, Godspell, and
more. According to Ms. Johnson
the Pacesetters sing "Anything
that is up-to-date." The show
varies, including pop, rock, folk,
jazz, and blues. There are some
solos done by the Pacesetters, but
the main interest is on the entire
group.
The Pacesetters are well-known
in the county, having performed
at many high schools, and junior
high schools, and at many civic
and community organization.
They have performed for
organizations such as United
Way, Cancer Society, Toys for
Tots, and the Mental Health
Society. In addition to this, many
performances have been held at
condominiums and the Palm
Beach Mall.
Ms. Johnson has been the
director of the Pacesetters for 4
years. In addition to her work
with the group she teaches music
theory, directs the Concert Choir,
and instructs in voice. She
explains that she is not a director
in the true sense of the word,
because she also sings along witli
group, instead of standing in
front, directing.
Auditions to the Pacesetters
begin each Spring. Candidates go
through strict auditions, yet it is
not necessary to be a music major
to become a Pacesetter. People
belonging to the Pacesetters,
according to Ms. Johnson "are
prepared for the pop field of
entertainment."

Music from folk to modern

F.Z.'s latest. The combination of harmless, humorous, satirical
Zappa dialog/vocals, and a high quality sound performed by an array
of musicians with varying musical backgrounds - from rock, to
classical, to jazz - makes this album quite a unique listening
experience.
It features such personnel as violinist Jean Luc Ponty, now with
Mahavishnu Orchestra; violinist Don "Sugar Cane" Harris, previously
playing with John Mayall; drummer Jim Gordon, who recorded with
Traffic and^eals and Crofts; drummer Ansley Dunbar, veteran Mother
:presently playing gigs with David Bowie); Jack Bruce :(forraerly with
Cream;, who plays the dynamic bass line in the title song
"Apostrophe"; jazz-man George Duke on keyboards; plus many
long-time devoted mothers. And of course, the ingenious mastermind
himself, F.Z., who composes and plays a guitar that puts all of those
popularly labeled "greatest guitar players" to shame (he always has).
It is a little more commercial than his previous accomplishments -
but without losing a bit of that incomparable, magical Zappa touch. (In
fact, this one actually hit the charts!) It's the kind of album that gets
better and better each time you listen because there is so much depth
and so many "little things" to hear. You'll notice something new each
time around.
It's such an expression of many countless, original musical ideas
packed nicely onto a single disc that makes it well worth your buy, and
in fact, one of the hottest bargains on the record shelf.
Teeny-boppers be forewarned: This record is only good for those
persons with ears.

Participation
and there is an extremely
small percentage of students
interested in school activi-
ties. Who can blame them?
JC offers very little that is
attractive to students other
than an education , with the
exception of those students
interested or participating in
athletics, music, drama,
S.G., etc. It is my opinion
that student government
should act as a hub enlisting
activities beneficial not only
to the school and its
reputation, but the commun-

The potential for a well

one-man show throughout the United States, is over
seventy years old and still going strong. He
attributes his endurance and robust health to
"working at it".
Among his awards for the various works include a
Drama Critics' Award for Best Musical Comedy
Performance, two New York Newspaper Guild Page
One Awards, and the Silver Medal from the United
States Treasury Department during World War Two
for making the first War Bond Tours.

the center of Belle Glade.
The site is bordered on the
east by State Road 715, and
extends westward to a point
where the Florida East Coast
Railroad right of way touches
the northwest corner.
Manor indicated the board
would need to move in the
near future into a more
active phase of planning for
the Glades Center as well as
the North Campus.
The board has also elected
its officers for the coming
year. Dr. Edward M. Eissey,
also the assistant county
school superintendent for the
north county area, was
elected chairman, and Dr.
Robert L. Smith was named
vice-chairman.
Eissey was appointed to
the board a year ago by

GOP'S Thomas: Off And Running
mm
Former State Senator
To Face Demo Victor
By Debbie Thompson
Staff Writer
While most candidates arc
directing their energies
towards distributing hand-
bills, meeting the public, and
organizing their campaigns
for the September 10
primary election, Jerry
Thomas is faced with a
different dilemma.
Former president of the
Florida Senate, Thomas, of
Jupiter, running without
opposition for the Republi-
can nomination for governor,
concedes that the overriding
disadvantage in running
unopposed is the lack of
statevride coverage by the
news media."
"There are so many other
candidates in the other
parties to- be covered,"
Thomas explains, "that the
press just doesn't have time
for you. As a result, you
suffer a loss of identity and the
genera] public seldom hears
your name until after the
primaries. Then they say, "I
didn't even know he was
running."
"But running unopposed
has its advantages, too,
Thomas added, "You're not
worried about an adversary
lashing out directly at you,
instead of concentrating on
the office that he running
for. As a result, you're not
subjected to the prospects of
a bitter primary election; and
also, you save money and
time, which enables you to
direct your energies towards
organizing your campaign in
the different counties for
after the primaries."
Jerry Thomas, presently
serving as Chairman of the
Board for the First National
Marine Bank in Riviera
Beach, began his political
career in 1960 by being
elected to two consecutive
terms in the Florida House of
Representatives, graduating
to an eight year stint in the
Senate in 1964. Highlights
of his political career include
being the Most Outstanding
First Term Member of both
the House and the Senate,
'Most Valuable Member of
the Senate in 1970, and
president of the Florida
Senate during the 1970-72
term. He also served as
director of the Florida
Securities Commission,
Thomas has backed legis-
lation dealing with the three
year college degree allow-
ance, setting up a kindergar-
ten program in Florida,
student loans, requiring
college professors to spend
at least twelve hours in the
classroom each week, and
stronger school discipline
(explaining that "On the
lower levels, some teachers
fear for their own safety in
the classroom.")
He also strongly opposed
the Open Bedroom policy,
which Governor Askew
quickly approved.
"What a young person
does is their own business,"
Thomas stated, "but not in
the taxpayers dormitories.
We've got to draw the line
somewhere."
Thomas, a resident of
Jupiter, Florida, was born in
West Palm Beach and
attended Palm Beach Junior
College, Florida State Uni-
versity, and FAU. He served
aS a midshipman in the Navy
and a captain in the U.S.
Marine Corps, and he feels
that some of his special
qualifications include his
experience and graduate
work in government, his
Masters degree in Education
and his successful exper-
ience in business and
finance. He noted that, if
elected, he will be the first
governor with such an
extensive degree of business
and management exper-
ience.
Running in the Democratic
race for governor, nominees
include the present Lieute-
Former Sen. Jerry Thomas
nant Governor Tom Adams;
Norman Die, an attorney
from Clearwater; citrus
magnate Ben Hill Griffin,
and the incumbent Governor
Reubin Askew, on whom
Thomas blames Florida's
"excessive" government -
growth.
Pointing out that the crime
rate in Orange County is
high than in Cook County,
Chicago, Thomas said "We
need to make Florida a safer
place in which to live." He
also noted that crime has '
increased in some counties
as much as 70%, and a
violent crime is committed in
Florida every 11 minutes.
"In this state, for
instance," Thomas went on,
"it's a capital crime to rape a
lO-yr. old girl, but if she'
11, you might as v/ell forg-
it, that law doesn't apply.
want that changed."
Thomas and his wifi
Jeannie, have five childrei
one of which attended JC tas

Kenny, will be substitutitt
schoolwork for experienf
when he takes to ih
campaign trails with lii
father this fall.

Candidate Visits JC Campus
Dr. Justin: 'Middle America Has A Voice'
Dr. NeaUnstln, and Us wife Shiriey, pose for a primary campaign
photo. Justin, a professor at FAU on sabbatical, is a candidate for
the U.S. Senate. He visited the PBJC campus Angnst 29 to tallc with
students.
By Lynn Kalber
Feature Editor
"The average American
feels excluded, knows he's
being used, and is not going
to fight back. . .I'm going to
fight back!"
Those statements explain
the reasons behind Dr. Neal
Justin's quest for a U.S.
Senate seat in the Sept. 10
primary.
Justin, a professor at
Florida Atlantic University,
visited the JC campus
Thursday, August 29, to talk
to the students.
Although registered as an
"Independent Democrat",
he claims to be more
"Independent" than "Dem-
ocrat", and considers him-
self a middle American. He
is determined to get the big
business out of politics and
to bring democracy back to
the U.S.
The FAU professor be-
lieves that people have
become "disillusioned" by
politicians in the past who
have, let money waUc all over
them. In the case of his
opponents, Justin claims
that their three biggest
campaign backers are buil-
ders and developers, attor-
neys, and food processors.
This is mteresting, he added,
especially when the candi-
dates' main platforms are for
environmental control and
against factory pollution.
Recently a Miami Herald
columnist wrote about Jus-
tin's four biggest opponents
and didn't mention him
once. When questioned, the
columnist replied that he
only wrote about the people
he thought were going to
win, according to Justin.
He believes that money is
the root of all his problems
and ours, too. Justin says
there is an unwritten law that
a candidate must have
1100,000 before being con-
sidered a major candidate.
So far, his campaign funds
amount to $5,000 - $2,500 in
contributions and $2,500 of
his own.
As Justm walked around
the campus, several students
approached him with ques-
tions concerning his plat-
form.
On the question of
amnesty he replied, "I
Come Sofurdayl

When asked wltiy t

replied that it was because(

He is against the seninril

"Come Saturday morning, I'm going away with my friend - We'll
Saturday spend 'til the end of the day . " Do you recognize the lyrics?
They're from the song "Come Saturday Morning" which is from the
motion picture "The Sterile Cuckoo". I can't get the melody out of
my head thtese days.
If you've had the pleasure of reading the book, seeing the picture
of at least hearing the song, you might even make sense of this
column. ' 'Just I and my friend, we'll travel for miles in our Saturday
smiles."
"The Sterile Cuckoo", by John Nichols, was published in 1965. It
quickly became a best seller and in 1969 was made into the movie.
The story portrays the romantic college experiences of the
unlikely duo: Pookie Adams, atrusting and emotional girl; and John
Payne, contrastingly unemotional and square. The experiences take
place on and around a New England college in the late '50's. Most
importantly, and herein lies the importance of this article, "The
Sterile Cuckoo" glorifies the joy of independence most freshmen
experience in finally leaving home and going away to college.
This is a community college and most students that are in
attendance probably live at home. But still, there is a certain
amount of independence that they will enjoy and more likely cherish
for many years to come.
Somehow this ties in with me wanting to dedicate this space today
to welcoming you to school. I certainly hope that you will be active
and that you will keep yours eyes and ears ever open to the
many sight > and sounds that will accoijipany your stay at college.
Good luck "and we will remember long after Saturday's gone."

Charles A. Lindbergh, the
heroic young man who flew the
Atlantic by himself back in 1927,
died August 27 in a small
Hawaiian cottage overlooking the
Pacific.
Lindbergh was as far as we
presently know our first private
citizen to become a great public
hero. Others before him were
military and pofitical figures
dealing heroically with problems
and dangers of their times .
On the 20th of May in 1927
when he set out to cross the
Atlantic, no one ordered, asked or
expected him to accomplish bis
mission. Lindbergh chose the act
himself, performed it himself,
and became a living legend
Lindbergh's single wing; one
engine plane, called the "Spirit of
Saint Louis" got him all the way
to Paris France. In Paris,
Lindbergh's arrival was the
biggest news since the end of
Worid War I, and thousands of
Frenchmen crowded Paris' Le
Bourget Airfield to see if he could
make it, and when he touched
down the wheels of his
monoplane it was a time of
pandemonium.
Lindbergh, a former stunt flier
and air pilot, became an
international celebrity. A fame
that was to last him for the
remainder of his life, changing
him' in a frenzied instant from an
obscure aviator into a historical
figure.
But from that triumph, young
Lindbergh was dropped into the
depths of dispair and isolation.
On March 1, 1932, his young son
was kidnapped from his crib and
murdered.
In more recent times even
flying to the moon, walking
around on it, and flying back
home did not produce the kind of
emotional hero worship that
Lindbergh saw in 1927. Perhaps!
because brave as the astranauts
were, theirs was a group
corporate government enterprise,
and not the accomplishment of a
single man on his own and alone.
A couple of years ago in Cape .
Canaveral when Lindbergh visit-
ed a rocket launching, it was
fascinating to observe that the
astronauts about to fly to the
moon stood in the utmost respect,
and even in the awe of a man who
had flown to Paris.
And it is interesting to wonder
what act if any could produce a
similar public hero today. The
earth has been explored, the
mountains have been climbed,
the seas have been sounded, and
everyday hundreds of people fly
where Lindbergh flew.
Perhaps there are no frontiers
left for a single person
performing a single personal feat
of courage, and the areas that are
left are in such areas as finding a
cure for the cancer that overtook
Lindbergh in the end.
Flickering Trickle: TV's Black Comedies
Television, the eternal watch-
dog of the American Living
Room, has established itself as
THE stomping ground for the
flaunting of any type of
mass-produced commercialism.
Any program that can get the
public (and wallet) interested in a
sensuous bar of deodorant soap
must be equally as advantageous
for any other commodity that
might come tomind (and does not
come to mind, like it or not, at
least once every ten minutes of
show.) This philosophy has led to
the current trend of one
"successful" program leading in
a whole avalanche of similar
programs. .
In the past, we have watched m
horror as the last lonely moan
flickered across the living room
from the eternal dying cowboy.
Unscathed, we then trembled in
our socks, marveling at the doctor
who could save a patient from a
lifetime of torment in the last ten
minutes of a show. Then, tiring
from petty domestic quarrels, our
hearts turned to 'true life'
adventures. Criminals and police
types alike have been glamorized
to a high gloss simonize shine.
Yet in a time when criminals and
police seem to mingle together so
virtuously, our numbed tastebuds
yearn for a little color. This has
come to us by way of comedy
remakes and (gloriosky, can it be
true?) new comedy shows.
In our modern arena, where the
once trodden-down have brought
new light to themselves, the new
comedy writers seem resolute to
hop on the minority bandwagon.
We now have women .stars-
(Imagine that) and an even bigger
first, the new black comedies.
In with a fresh wind and a
totally new concept of television:
the black oriented show! Ah,
were it only so. But it seems that
the new 'Black' shows are just a
full of white -euphemisniii'. as the
plush vnth middle class comfort
and nearly devoid of any contact
with the fair race. The delivery is
often forced and unrefreshed with
the bald spots spiced up with a
little canned laughter. What we
end up with is a tasteless blend of
white ethnic humor mixed with
that it's-just-like-any-other-com-
edy-show touch .
These faults can only be
corrected with the use of black
writers or, more importantly,
writers more interested in the
black audience than what the
black audience will buy,

progress over the last two years
has been great."
Two transfer students and a
local high school standout have
signed cross country scholarships
with PBJC coach Dick Melear.

top two runners, according to
Melear.
Everett, who attended Coconut
Creek High School, is planning to

Edgar, a graduate of Deerfield
High School, is majoring in Social
Studies and History,
The two BCC runners decided
to accept the grants from Melear
after their college decided to
discontinue the sport of cross
country.
The college decided to put in a
new swimming pool," said
Everett. "They want to go all out
for swimming and they don't even
have a cross country team.
"I saw them run last year,"
said Melear, "I think they can
both do the job real well."
Melear decided to go after the
duo when the college stopped
cross country.
"I knew the boys would really
help build our program and I
offered them the chance to
continue running," Melear said.
"I, think we have four excellent
runners to start our team,"

"There is growing interest in
badminton in this area, ' ' Faquire
says, "and clubs have already

Local Standouts [For Football
Will Run For JC I
Ken Anderson and Mike Bell, two former Palm Beach County J
track standouts, have transferred to PBJC to run cross country. h
Bell is a transfer student from Florida State where he did not!
compete actively in track or cross country. I
"Heft FSU after a year because I thought I was paying too muchj
money to be an undecided major," Bell said. The guidancel
counselors in Tallahassee suggested that it might be less-
expensive to go to PBJC since it is closer to home. "
Bell captained the track and cross country teams as a Senior at i
Cardinal Newman in West Palm but said he enjoyed track more J
than cross country.
"I run track because I enjoy the sport and I run cross country to :
get in shape for track, ' ' Bell said.
Bell won the Suncoast Conference West mile and two-mile ;
championships with times of 4:33 and 10:08 respectively.
Anderson did not run an 880 yard race until his last year in high i
school where he won 17 cconsecutive races for Lake Wortli High;
School.
His undefeated streak ended in the state meet where he fell to J
third place despite a time of 1:56.8 which was the best time of his 1
life.
"I used to run a lot when I was little, " said Anderson.
"I was always running up and down the street near my home."
"Even though I enjoyed sports, I never thought I would be verj' ;
good at them ", said Anderson. "Hike football and track best."
"I decided to be a physical fitness major because I am a sports;
nut," said Anderson. "I would like to go into the field of coaching
so I can help young kids learn to participate in athletics. ' '
Anderson said he would also like to give professional track a try
"if I can get into good enough shape."
"I didn't think I would run after high school," Anderson said.
"I wasn't doing any running at all in college."
Anderson had received a scholarship to Albany State, in
Albany, Georgia, but left after one term "after a financial Iiassle
with the administration."
"We are very lucky to have two runners of this caliber on our
team," said head coach Dick Melear. They were two of the best
runners in the county and will surely help our team this year. ' '
How many times have you
heard someone brag about his or
her athletic talents? The
conversation usually goes some-
thing like -
"Hey man - when I was in
school I was the best passer in the
state."
If you happen to hear this type
of phrase, address the speaker
and direct him to office 4k in the
gymnasium where he can enlist
his talents for a flag tag football
team.
The flag tag football league is
being sponsored by the Intramur-
al board with competition lasting
through the Fall term.
An organizational meeting for
the league will be held at 3:30
p.m. Tuesday Sept. 10 in
classroom Pe-06 to formulate its
structure and organization.
We'd like to stress this point,"
said Roy Bell, director of the
Intramural program. "All clubs
and organizations are invited to
form teams for flag tag football
and any other team sport we
offer."
"We also want all individuals
to know that they can come and
register as independents," Bell
added.
Bell added that independents
will be drafted onto teams at the
organizational meeting and teams
will be made of those students
who remain unattached.

Karate class sponsored by the I and R board.
Zyland Offers "Do It Yourself" Plan
Because PBJC students have
such a varied range of schedules,
the Intramural board will sponsor
"do it yourself" tournaments to
enable them to partake of PBJC
facilities in ' table tennis,
horseshoes, tennis and several
other activities.
"The students pay an activity
fee and we are trying to provide
them with a chance to use it,"
said Roy Bell, director of
intramurals.
' 'After the students sign up for
an activity, they can contact their
opponents by phone or through
the use of the intramural bulletin
board for their individual or team
matches," Bell explained.
"'We will be offering many
different activities for the Fall and
Winter tern," Bell continued.
"Among them we will have a
volleyball league with teams for
men, women and mixed play."
An organizational meeting for
all who are interested in the
volleyball league will be held
Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. in the
gym.
The Intramural Board will also
offer cross country, a turkey trot,
bowling, a UFO day, a canoeing
clinic and trip and several other
special activities as the need
arises.
"We also have set up a jogging
course on the campus, where
students can develop physically
through. running," said Bell.
The course is located on the
southeast corner of the campus,
beginning at the northeast
entrance to the gym.
"Last year we had a student
run a distance equal to that of a
found trip to' Jacksonville," said
Bell.

classes for PBJC students.
The classes are being taught by
Paul Ratanaprasith, a JC student
who has a black belt in the art of

WRAP Problems Shrouded By Smoke
By Bruce Moore
News Editor
Carlos Banks resigned Thursday as manager of JC's
troubled campus radio station, WRAP. Assistant
Manager Dave Drummond was promoted to the position
of manager by Student Government President Tory
Buckley.
In a letter to Buckley, Banks said liis resignation "was
thought over for many days and was not an easy decision
to make." Banks is leaving this year to go away to
college and must take on a full-time job.
Drummond, whom Banks recommended, takes over at
a time when WRAP, advertised as "Nowhere on Your
Radio Dial," is having trouble even reaching the
cafeteria.
Scheduled to pipe its rock-centered music to the
cafeteria and SAC Lounge September 3, WRAP, as of
this writing, is still not on the air.
The culprit is WRAP'S S162 amplifer, which went up in
smoke as the WRAP staff was testing equipment during
the first week of school. To test the equipment Banks put
a record on, then left the WRAP studio, next to the
Beachcomber office, and went to the cafeteria for a
listen.
"There was smoke all over in the WRAP studio when
we came back," Banks recalled. "We unplugged
everything. Then we went around smelling, trying to
find out where it came from."
After discovering the faulty amp, the WRAP manager
cautiously waited in hopes of finding another solution.
On September 3, WRAP's scheduled debut, Banks tried
to revive an old tube amplifyer in the cafeteria.
"After a half-hour of testing and complaints, I decided
to close down the station until we get proper
equipment," commented Banks.
Obtaining the "proper equipment" has been another
headache for the WRAP crew. SG told Banks to make
tlie purchase order through account No. 710, which, it was
later discovered, was dryed up.

VOICE OF THE PALM BEACH JUNIOR COLLEGE STUDENT
Monday, September 16, 1974
Lake Worth, Florida, 33460
7-Footer Joins Pacer Cage Squad Campus Senates Sw/ng /nfo Act/on
Bob Wright, Palm Beach
Junior College basketball coach,
will be coaching the tallest
player in Pacer history when
Richard Mitchell, a seven-foot-
er from Michigan, dresses out
for practice this fall.
Mitchell, who prefers to be
called "Tiny", is from a family
of large stature. His two sisters
stand 5-10- and 6-1, his eight
year old brother is 4-5, his
father is 6-2 and his mother is
6-4.
"My mother played pro ball
for the Baltimore Redheads in a
women's basketball league,"
said Mitchell, "but that was
around 1950 before I was bom. "
"I always have been big,"
says Mitchell. "When I was
born, I weighed Impounds and
seven ounces and I was 23
inches long."
Being tall has its disadvant-
ages, however.
"I used to let it bother me,"
said MitcheD. "When I was
younger I used to get in fights.
Everyone wanted to, take me on
because I was always the
biggest guy around."
Another problem that comes
along with being tall is mobility.
"Ordinary things like walking
through a door, moving around
in a large crowd, getting in and
out of cars and even sitting at a
desk in class are harder because
I have so much of myself to
coordinate," he said.
Mitchell began his basketball
career at Taylor Elementary in
Taylor, Michigan, a suburb of
Detroit where he was born.
"I was in the third grade and
playing against kids in the fifth
and sixth grades," Mitchell
said, adding that he was five
feet tall at the time.
He went on to Taylor Center
for high school where, he grew
from a six. foot eight inch
sophomore to a six foot eleven
inch 240 pound senior. He
averaged "22.4 points and 12-14
rebounds in high school.
After graduation he attended
Kalamazoo Community College
for a year. He averaged 16
points and 12 rebounds before
leaving school due to a
scholarship dispute with the
basketball coach. .
Mitchell had been working for
almost six months before Coach
Wright learned about him
through John GreenhUl, who
had coached Gary Brown and
Tom Jarvis of last year's Palm
Beach cage squad.
"I liked the weather in
Horida, so I thought I would
come down here to play ball,"
Mitchell said.
Mitchell arrived in Lake
Worth fa time to enroll for the
Winter term and is currently
attending classes and working
for the school maintenance
department.
Wright feels thatMitchell will
be a big asset to the team.
"He's a good shooter and is
very strong-," the coach said.
"He will be a candidate for
center and we will need his
height for reboundmg . ' '
Another quality which wE
a large factor in Mtd
success as a basketball pV
according to Wriglit is his de
"Tiny plays basketball beci
he enjoys it," said Wright,'
just because he is tall."

Guest, Controversy,
In Faculty Senate
By Brian E. Crowley
Staff Writer
The first Faculty Senate meeting of
the year was opened last Thursday with
a brief speech by Dr. Edward M.
Eissey, chairman of the District Board
of Trustees. Eissey told the Senators
that the Board of Trustees is taking on a
new image.
"I really want to know what it is that
the Board of Trustees can do to
cooperate with you in order to make you
happy and in order to make our
institution an outstanding institution,"
said Eissey.
Eissey further pledged that the Board
of Trustees would "always listen
attentively, graciously and profession-
ally to what it is that you (Faculty
Senators) have to present to us." Dr.
Eissey is a former Palm Beach Junior
College student.
During the next order of business
student government officers Tory
Buckley, Dolor Ginchereau, Constance
Holmes, and David Lang were praised
and called "the best Student
Government officials in a long time."
They were encouraged to continue their
efforts to surround, themselves with a
dedicated staff of students and faculty.
Ten new amendments to the Faculty
Senate Constitution were accepted by
the senate but not without controversy.
The first amendment states that "The
Chairman and Vice Chairman shall be
elected by and from the teaching and
nonteaching certificated faculty for
two-year staggered terms." Prior to
that amendment the president of the
college was always the chairman.

Marines Offer Careers, Financial Aid
By Brian E. Crowley
Staff Writer
Financial assistance and career
opportunities were just /t^o of the
incentives that Captain P.X Persian! and
Staff Sergeant R. R. Redman offered Palm
Beach Junior College Students last week.
Standing in front of the SAC lounge,
Persiani and Redman, members of the
United States Marine Corps Officer
Selection Team spoke to approximately 15
siudents about Platoon Leaders Class
(PLC).
Persiani told the students that PLC is an
opponunit.v for young men to complete
college aiul upon graduation receive a
commission in the USMC as a second
Lieutenant. After commissioning there is
training in Basic Officer School followed by
an Occupational Specialty Education
Program in either aviation or grouind
fields.
The PLC program is open to either
freshmen, sophmores, or juniors who are
able to meet the Marine Corps
requirements of physical fitness, and can
maintain a "C" average throughout
college.
Freshmen and sophomores are required
to go to a summer camp for two six-week
periods. Juniors will be required to go to
one twelve week session if they did.not join
as freshmen or sophomores.
Students that need financial assistance
may receive SlOO per month for each school
month. The money is not a loan but for
each S900 that is received an aditional six
months active duty is required.
Additionally for each six weeks of summer
camp the student receives S612.
Students who enter this program may
drop out at any time and according to
Captain Persiani "If you think you are a
born leader, we can test you," The Officer
Selection Team will be back again in March
to give the men and women of JC another
chance to talk to them.
Condidotes
For Senate
Vie For Office
By Robin Witt
Staff Writer
As of Thursday noon, twenty. three
students had filed applications for the
student senate. Last year only nineteen
applications were receiv&d; not even
enough to fill the twenty three seats
open.
Tory Buckley, SG president gave his
views on last years elections and the
reasons for this year's success. "Last
year 1 believe the reason for the poor
turnout was a whole lot of people didn't
know about SG and it's functions. Also
people were fed up with government on
local and national levels. Because of a
conserted effort by the executive board of
SG and an increase in the amount of
publicity given to the elections the
number of people becom-ing involved in
SG has grown."
Members of the executive board visited
classes last week and informed students
about SG. "We talked to teachers who in
turn talked to their students and got them
interested. For that alone they deserve a
big thanks," said Tory Buckley,
As of the last executive board meeting
Dr. Harold C. Manor, president of JC,
still held with his directive about the
discontinued use of the pillars and
windows.on which to put announcements.
However, Dolor Ginchereau, negotiated
with Dr. Manor and was given permission
to use the pillars for the senate
campaigns. Restrictions were placed on
the placement of posters, no tape is to be
used, string only and no posters are to be
put on glass surfaces.
Candidates are reminded that
campaigning begins today and ends
Friday September 20. All posters must
be taken down on this date.
Monday, September 23, Tuesday,
September 24, all day, Wednesday
September 25 until 3 p.m. are the days
students can vote. The voting machines
are to be located by the Business
Administration Building and outside the
cafeteria.
According to Dolor Ginchereau, senate
president, "The elections are moving
rapidly. I would like to see a really good
race and a lot of students voting.

Sincerely,
Interested Student
A.The Galleon won't make its debut until early December, because
of the longer span of time (Fail- Winter term) covered by the
publication, according to Galeon advisor Mr. Odas E. Arant.
In light of rising pricees Arant feels "the yearbook staff has done
everything possible in cutting down cost."
The yearbook and its staff have undergone a few changes, in
addition to minor problems. This summer, while most students
fought a monsterous battle with Spring I and II classes, Galleon
Editor Paul Aho worked alone on the completion of the book.
The staff has grown from its membership of one, and Arant
explained, "this year's staff will compile the finest yearbook
produced at JG in a long time." The 1975 yearbook will cover both
the fall and winter semesters and should be on the stands by Spring
II, 1975.
Most of the paste-up and special effects work is done on $11,000
worth of equipment, which is to be fully paid for this year.
Arant says, and I must agree, "the yearbook and staff are one of
the most fiscally responsible (dollar -saving) groups on campus." In
this day of the shrinking greenback it is good to know someone cares
about your student activity dollar.
This trash-can appears to be the most comfortable place for these
two students to confer. In the background is the cafeteria, site of

WRAP To Return?
(Continued from page 1)
At the SG Executive Board meeting last
Tuesday, the board shifted $200 ftom WRAP'S
contingency fiind and transferred the money to
account No. 710.
Further complications arose Thursday when it
was discovered that the company, from which the
new amp was to come, had burnt down. "If not for
themixup in accounts, we. would have received the
amp by the day of the fire," Banks moaned.
When WRAP finally returns to "nowhere" the
staff of Manager Dave Drummond will be well
prepared.
During the summer, WRAP, a subsidiary of SG,
gained major consessions when guidelines for the
station were drawn.
One long-sought change is that outside records
may now be brought in for scheduled specials.
Banks reports that several specials are already
planned. Last year WRAP could only use records
bought with SG approval.
WRAP'S management, under the new
guidelines, may submit editorials representing the
station, rather than just individuals, as was the
case last year. Another change is that the
management, consisting of the manager and
assistant manager, has the right to replace and
remove staff members at their discretion, and not
the discretion of SG.
After renegotiating guidelines, and a year's
budget totaling $1400, WRAP began training
personnel. Beginning the day of Freshman
Orientation, two weeks prior to school's start,
WRAP Program Manager Joan Francis helped an
estimated 25-30 interested students try the control
board for the first time.
Ten disc-jockeys are now fully trained and ready
to spread music thrcyaghout the student activity
center and cafeteria. . .as soon as a new amplifyer
arrives.
As for the old, blown-up, amp. Banks, who will
continue in an advisory capacity, says he will not
touch it. Chides Banks, '.'The old amp may still be
under warranty"!

Two semester hours credit for the required HHlOl health courej
may be earned in a special health exam to be given Thursday;
October 3, 2:30 p.m. in room SC 26. \
Students must answer 154 out of 200 questions correctly to pas<:
the test, according to Testing Director Donald Cook, The ter'
questions are to cover a wide range of areas.
"This is a very difficult exam," comments Cook, "and only thos-;;
with a background in health study will have much of a chance t;
pass it."
Pemission slips are available at the Testing Center, AD 5, anc;
should be picked up at least a week before the test is scheduled t;;
begin. A fee of $22.00 is required.
In the past, health exams were given for exemption, but thi-
student did not earn credit. The 1974 health exam is in the samr
category as the CLEP exams, in that, if passed credit for PIH 10:
will be given. >

column, entitled "Consensus. "
Beachcomber reporters Glenn Powell and Dan Stewart will

a variety of current and interesting topics.)
As a follow-up to the recent JC 'Voter Registration Drive, we
polled 84 students to find out how 4any are registered, and how
many actually expected to vote:
60% students registered to vote.
40% students not reigstered to vote.
Of those registered to vote, we came up with these findings-
44% did not vote.
26% voted Republican
30% voted Democratic.
Switching to national politics, we asked 284 students questions
centering on the recent pardon of Richard Nixon by President Ford.
Do you agree with President Fords decision to pardon formeJ

Most students questioned on the amnesty and pardon issues were
very sure of their decision indicating that these are cut-and- dried
issues in their minds.
On the question of amnesty, most people preferred conditional
amnesty to unconditional amnesty.

Sparse gatherings of students and faculty listened as area
polhicans made final campaign speeches during the recent
Democratic and Republican days, held September 6 and 9,
respectively, in the SAC Lounge.
Sponisored by JC's Political Union, the assemblies, which
consisted mainly of five-minute "vote-for-me" speeches, drew 18
Democrats and 11 Republicans, or their representatives.
Most speeches centered on a theme of the candidate being for the
people, owing favors to no person or organization.
Starting with the Democrats, here is a rundown of what each
candidate stressed in his speech:
DEMOCRATS
Harry Johnston (State Senate - District 26) was represented by JC
student Paul Hedrick, who spoke first because he was late for a
French class: "Johnston has made only two promises in this
campaign," said Hedrick, "honesty and hard work."
Michael Small, Johnston's opponent in the District 26 race, was
represented by his wife, who urged voters to "make your SMALL
vote count." Mrs. Small admitted that this was her first speech of
the campaign, but following her presentation, Edwin V. Pugh,
faculty advisor to the Student Union and master-of-ceremonies,
remarked, ''you did very well."
Mallory Home's representative said the senate candidate is the
only person to be endorsed by every major college student body
president and every Black college president in the state. Mr.
Home's speaker concluded, "1 just think he is a real fine man."
Neil Justin, an FAU professor running for the Senate, has
appeared at JC twice during the campaign, but was unable to attend
the Candidate Day. Speaking for Justin, student Robin Plitt
commented, "Neil's honesty and dedication is well worth your
vote."
Robert McBain, candidate for a seat in the 1974 Delegates
Conference, held up a bumper-sticker proclaiming "All Streakers
Are Created Equal." McBaIn urged citizens to join in the fight
against crime and inflation.
Don Childers, State Senate-District 28 candidate, challenged one
of his opponents who wanted some public meetings closed."If I am
elected," said Childers, "I will never participate in a closed
meeting."
Donald Walker, also running for District 28, countered that only
"salaries and personnel meetings should be closed to the public."
Many candidates throughout the morning stressed that they had no
connection with realtors.
Walker, however, was proud of the fact that he is a realtor. "Not
all realtors are bad. . .and to say that 1 am one of the realtors that is
not straight is guilt by association," stressed Walker.
Gerald Cornelius, candidate for the U.S. House in District 81,
chastised his opponent, Edward Healy, for not campaigning often
enough. "If a man is going to represent the people he should at
least have the courtesy of telling yon what he stands for," said
Cornelius.

Edward Healty arrived minutes later to the disbelief of Cornelius.
Healy said he must continue working during the campaign as he
has three children (one of whom is a JC student) m school to
support.
John Considine, running for the 82nd District House job, was
represented by his brother, who criticised the Republican
incumbent for attending few- legislative sessions.
Donna Cotton, Considine 's opponent, said the current political
system is leading to "voter confusion." Ms. Cotton received the
endorsement of the Palm Beach Post and Times,
Jackie Winchester's son Jon lauded his mother for the job she
had done as Supervisor of Elections, a post she hopes to keep
"Through cutting out unnecessary programs, Jackie Wiiichcstor
returned $100,000 to the citizens of Palm Beach County," said the
younger Winchester.
Grace Blitz, County Commission candidate, was forced to come to
Florida several years ago when her husband had an ailment. She
started on the grass-roots level but is now running for a major
office.
Mrs. Blitz compared herself to Columbus. "Did Columbus have
experience? No! But he had the training," she said.
Bill Medlen, an opponent of Mrs. Blitz, said he has helped to save
hundreds of acres of beach land for the public. Medlen stres.sed that
he would not be controlled by big party bosses, as are other
commissioners now serving.
REPUBLICANS
AI Coogler, running for State Senate District 28, wi»mccl, "If we
don't plan our growth we will lose our livelihood." Coogler, lii
response to a question from the audience, said he has spent $10,000
in his campaign, of which 17,500 is his own money.
Commenting on President Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon,
Coogler replied, "1 thought the one thing restored by Watergate
would be that we are a nation of laws and not men."
Tom Johnson, a former JC student who graduated in 1950,
opposed Coogler in the primary. Johnson, the incumbent, i.s proud
of his leading role in the passage of 18-year-oId majority rights bill
two years ago.
Susan Weaver, candidate for the 81st House Distrlst, recalled hor
days as a JC stadent in Pngh's class where she sat In the sixth seat
in the ftfst row. Returning to polidcs she stated, "It is about time
we have women in government," Ms. Weaver pledged to spend
all her time serving the 81st District.
Dave Clark, Ms. Weaver's opponent, has a son attending JC.
The incumbant criticised those who put down the younger
generation. "I believe that young people are interested in thp
future," said Clark, a father of five.
William Cruickshank is campaigning for the District 4 seat on the
County Commission. Retired at 49-year-oId to devote his life to
politics, Cruickshank said the commission needs "someone who
understands what your needs and desires are."
In concluding the program, Pugh, a Social Science Department
member, pledged that the Student Union would "make every effort
to have candidates in the November election here on campus this
fall."

Computer Chaos
County Commission Chairman Robert F. Culpepper has taken the
right step in demanding a complete investigative report on the
handling of election returns Sept. 10.
Unofficial election results for 162 of the county's 163 precincts
were not available until after 1 a.m. Wedneday, Sept. 11, and even
then, some precincts may have been counted twice.
"It's not fair to anyone to have those returns coming in so late,"
Culpepper said, "We're going to find out what happened and if
there's anything the commission can do to prevent this, we'll do it."
Three men, Tax Assessor David Reid, Tax Collector Warren
Kramer and Clerk of Courts John Dunkle, are in charge of the
county's Data Processing department which handled the returns.
Supervisor of Elections Jackie Winchester, who has also called for
an investigatioo, said that she "really can't control what they do
over there."
This sort of chaos on such an important night should not be
overlooked by the county commission. Reportedly, one key punch
error caused the massive slowdown - and it took computer
programmers three key election hours to locate it. There is no
excuse for this kind of mishap.
Explanations and excuses should be scrutinized and reviewed
careftilly, and a proper course of action should be taken to prevent
the reoccurence of such a foul-up.
Air Fare Soaring
"H God had wanted man to fly, he would have given him wings,"
or money enough to purchase an airline ticket. Air travel prices are
soaring and, with youth fares now defunct, students are paying
more money for less travel opportunities.
Letters to your Congressmen could bring air fares back down to
earth. The National Student Lobby, a federation of individual
students and student governments head-quartered in Washington
D.C., is pushing for the passage of two bills by Congress. These
bills, which appear to have excellent chances of passage before
Congress adjourns for the November elections, will insure a
national air transportation policy that will benefit students.
One of these bills, S.2651, would overturn a decision made two
years ago by the Civil Aeronautics Board prohibiting the scheduled
airlines from offering the so-called "youth fares." This bill would
also allow the student with a flexible time schedule to travel standby
at a reduced price, and could save students as a whole an amount
apporaching 100 million dollars annually.
Passage of the second bill, S.1739, would provide the student a
greatly expanded opportunity to travel by group charter, and save in
many cases more than half of what would be the current costs of
their travel.
The first step to reasonable air fares is a letter to Washington.
Write Representative Paul Rogers (C/0 House of Representatives,
Washington D.C. 20515) expressing your support for the passage of
S.265i, and to Senator Lawton Chiles (C/0 U.S. Senate,
Washington, D.C. 20510) stating complete support for S.1739.
Nude Bathing
Is Exposed
Nobody makes anyone take their clothes off at a public beach -
why should a person have to keep his clothes ON at a private beach?
That's the question Air Force Beach's nude sunbathers were asking
last weekend.
Their inquiry fell on some shocked and some sympathetic ears.
But, as one nude bather said, "Nobody's hurting anybody here."
And it's true. The sunbathers can only be seen through binoculars.
There has literally been too much ado about nothing (nothing in
the way of bathing attire, that is) lately. Air Force Beach's bare
•eachgoers aren't bothering anyone and their biggest problem
ouldn't be indecent exposure charges but sunburn.

Guest Column
Students Not At Fault
By Brian Crowley
Staff Writer
Students can no longer accept
being penalized for the
irresponsibility of some of the
instructors on this campus. The
current attendance policy holds
students responsible for being
late for class. This cannot
continue because there are
instructors who repeatedly
cause students to be late for
class. Therefore the policy, with
regard to tardiness, must be
abolished.
The present policy allows that
students will be considered one
day absent for every three days
tardy. Absence from 25V2
(usually 12) of the total class
sessions can result in a grade of
"F". A student could miss
eleven class sessions followed
by three tardies, one being
caused by a long winded
instructor, and be failed.
Although such a scenario is
unlikely, what often does
happen is that the instructor
repeatedly holds his class
overtime, which in turn
repeatedly causes the student to
be late. This does not help the
student maintain a good
Impression. Only a fool would
deny that impressions do count
at grade time.
There is an instructor in the
Social Science department who
frequently holds his classes well
beyond the class period. As
recently as two weeks ago, this
writer witnessed that instructc
hold his class in session during
the entire ten minute break
period. Again last week this
writer saw him do the same
thing. Unfortunately, although
most instructors are not that
extreme, many do hold their
classes well beyond the
allotted time.
The student government and
Faculty Senate should immed-
iately take steps to investigate
the abuses, take action against
the violators and remove the
penalty against the students
from the rules. ,
The student cannot be held
responsible for being in class on
time if some of the instructors
on the campus refuse to accept
their responsibility to proniptly
dismiss their classes.
State, County Choices Differ
By Marc Bressler
Except for giving Gov. Reubin
Askew over 75 '/j of votes cast.
Palm Beach County was not at
all representative of the state
returns.
Voters selected Dick Petti-
grew over Richard Stone in the
Democratic U.S. Senate race,
while state winner Bill Gunter,
finished a far third. Both
Gunter and Stone will be in the
Oct. runoff.
Republicans, however, did
choose Jack Eckerd over Paula
Hawkins, as it was in the state
race.
Don Pride, democratic candi-
date for Secretary of State, had
more than double the votes of
any of his opponents in Palm
Beach county, but finished a
disappointing third statewide.
At press time, absentee ballots
that could put Pride into the
Bruce Smathers -Beverly Dozier
runoff had not been tallied.
In the State Comptroller race,
Gerald Lewis beat out Bud
Dickinson countywide, but
finished second in Florida to tile
incumbent. Both will be in the
October runoff.
The county agreed on the
choices state of Ralph Turlitig.
ton as Education Commissioner
and Tom O'Malley as State
Treasurer.

~3/ Percent —
Patient Choice
~~ J.Miciiele Nofter—
St. Mary's, Bethesda, and Everglades Memorial Hospitals
recently settled a contract dispute by striking a clause that would
have barred male nurses from maternity and obstetrics floors. The
clause discriminated against male nurses.
Currently, female nurses take care of male patients during varied
medical treatments and procedures. I see no reason why this should
not hold ttue for male nurses and female patients. It is encouraging
to hear that males are requesting such assignments. 1 believe that
male nurses can be just as sympathetic as female nurses, and of
course, just as capable.
The only possible explanation for the mandatory presence of
female nurses is the fear of molestation of the female patients by the
male doctor. This is a ridiculous assertion; it assumes that the
female patient is helpless and the male doctor a lecher. This is not
conductive to a trusting doctor-patient relationship.
However, I am in favor of a female presence, particularly in the
case of childbirth, whether she be the doctor or the nurse. The
woman must be one who has experienced childbirth. No amount of'
education or medical textbook terminology can explain how it feels to
experience childbirth.
A medical woman is in a much better position to understand the
patient. She knows what is normal during childbirth and can base
her reactions on the patient's condition by verbal communication.
The barring of male nurses from the maternity and obstetrics
floors is a regression to medevial times when birth was solely a
woman's concern. Eventually, I hope that there are more female
doctors and a fairer distribution of the sexes throughout the medical
field.
Finally, it is advisable to let the patient decide who she wants to
nurse her. She selects a doctor; she should also be ablt to state a
preference for a female or male nurse.
Rush sign-up for "two weeks of parties" began last week outside the cafeteria,
the signing said quite a few joined up.
Those who did
Last Exit
Peace With Dishonor
More Bressler
The combined forces of the
United States Congress and the
U.S. Press achieved "peace
with dishonor" the day former
President Richard M. Nixon
resigned.
Led by such gallant generals
and military strategists as Dan
Rather, Lowell Wicker, and Sam
Ervin, the 672 day long struggle
came to an end when Nixon
withdrew his forces from
Washington forever.
The Nixon Army, at one time
believed to be equal to the total
population of the U.S. minus
that of Massachusetts, was
brought to its knees by the
revolutionary "Media Militia".
Citing the need for immediate
"Americanization", General -
Harry Reasoner said such a
program would allow Americans
to turn their attention to such
minor matters as inflation,
poverty, and crime in the
streets.
Pat Brown, former governor
— fMke's View-
of California and the only living
person to have defeated Nixon
in an election, said, "I thought I
got rid of him in '62."
Many citizens, sympathetic to
the former president, said his
exile to the barren wastelands of
San Clemente and Key Biscayne
was too harsh. "Suppose he
gets thirsty?" asked one citizen.
"Can you drink the Pacific
Ocean? Can you drink the
Atlantic Ocean? No! I think he
has suffered enough."
President Ford, who appar-
ently wants to punish the former
chief executive as much as
possible, has burdened the
Nixon family with an additional
$850,000 in taxpayer's money.
"Just think of the time he's in
for trying to budget all that
dough for just one year,"
laughed a presidential aide with
tears in his eyes.
Kay Graham, leader of the
Washington Post Liberation
Army, the team largely
responsible for Nixon's down-
fall, said, "It's quite sad. Now
we von't have Richard Nixon to
kick around anymore."
Julie Nixon Eisenhower has
resigned from her $15,000 a
year editorship on the Saturday
Evening Post. She will be
replaced by President Ford's
daughter, but the publishers
have stated the replacement had
nothing to do with political
motives. "President Ford's
young daughter was chosen
due to her experience and talent
in the magazine field", a
spokesman said. However, he
could not remember her first
name.
The transition of power from
Nixon to Ford has gone
smoothly; Ford is currently
enjoying a "honeymoon" with
Congress. Ford also admitted
seeing Nixon the other day.
"Yeah, I bumped into him,"
Ford said, "and he said, 'oh,
pardon me'".
Custonrier: Extinct Species
Mike Piliero-
THAT'S THE WAY TO CAMPAIGN! This yomig JC student sup-
ports Mailom Home and shows it by wearing a "campaign poster
blouse". The young lady's help was in vam - Home lost in his race
for the U.S. Senate.
Yes, at long last, that elusive link to history's
"Reign of the Consumer" has been found.
Our "link" takes the form of a wooden plaque
containing definative script that details the
disposition of the term "CUSTOMER" by, it is
assumed, Americans of the far past.
The explosive discovery was made by this writer
while seeking a "means of living" at Manero's
Restaurant on Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., in West
Palm Beach. It was attached to the kitchen wall
just above the employees' time clock and when I
inquired further, the owner, young John Mahoney,
explained he found it in an old silversmith's shop
in Concord, Massachusetts, "h makes all the
sense in the world to me. I use it as a guide for
everyone who works here including myself."
To determine the origin of the relic "link", a
PBJC etyomologist will have to search way back to
a time when the term "Customer" was used as the
"link" describes:
A CUSTOMER
A Customer - is the most important person in
any business.
A Customer - is not dependent on us • we are on
him.
A customer - is not an interruption of our work,
he is the purpose of it.
A Customer - does us a favor when he calls - we
are not doing him a favor by serving him.
A Customer • is part of our business - not an
outsider.
A Customer - is not a cold statistic - he is a flesh
and blood human being with feelings and emotions
like our own.
A Customer - is not someone to argue or match
wits with.
A Customer - is a. person who brings us his
wants - it is our job to fill those wants.
A Customer - is deserving of the most courteous
and attentive treatment we can give him.
A Customer - is the life blood of this and every
other business.
"Amen"
Can you imagine that, a customer is not an
interruption of work?? Boy, I know of some
businesses whose employees would suffer a form
of traumatism if they had to work by these rules.
Do you know that if presidents, politicians and
people from all walks of life would abide by these
mores (not only in respect to customers, but all
people) the world's media might be an everlasting
joy to experience. And the world could live
peacefully forever and ever and ever.

provided enough money for
some scholarships, a play-

Jazz Ensemble Assembles
By Becky Morse
Staff Writer
Does jazz music interest you?
If yes is your answer then you
should know about the Junior
College Jazz Ensemble.
Presently there are 20
members consisting of five
saxaphones, four trombones,
five trumpets, one tuba, drums,
an electric bass, a guitar,
cowbells, tamborines, and a
piano.
The group, staffed by Mr. Sy
Prj-weller, rehearses two nights
a week, Tuesdays and Thurs-"
days.
Performances are being
planned at area high schools,
junior high schools, and
elementary schools . Occasion-
ally the ensemble plays in the
PBJC auditorium and is hoping
to perform in the SAC lounge
this year.
A concert sponsored by
Carver Middle School is
scheduled for October 6, at the
Delray Beach Civic Center.
Performing will be the Jazz
Ensemble and the JC concert
band in order to raise money to
purchase instruments for the
school that were stolen in
previous years.
AH styles of music including
Dixie Land, creative rock, jazz
and music of the big band era
are performed.
"There is no sound like the
sound of this group, it's a full
sound, an exciting sound!"
proclaimed Mr. Pryweller.
The Ensemble unlike the
concert band and other musical
organizations, is selective.
Students who perform with the
jazz ensemble must not only
have the ability to read music
but to interpret it. . -
There is an excellent
opportunity open to ensemble
members to write and arrange
their own works and hear them
performed by the ensemble.
Students interested in joining
the Jazz Ensemble can see Mr.

FAU Accepts
Credit Cards

Bditaial Assistant
Cash or charge? Florida
Atlantic University's students
will have that choice when they
register for fall classes. FAlf
has arranged for Bank Ameri-
cards to be accepted for the next
quarter's tuition -and- fees.
FAU and the First Bank and
Trust Co. of Boca Raton have
entered into an agreement to
charge student costs to the
individual's Bank Americard.
Authorization for use of credit
cards for payment of University
fees was enacted by the 1974
Legislature with the stipulation
no discount or service charge
could be paid by the
universities. First Bank, the
BankAmericard agent in Palm
Beach County, will assume the
cost of the.program, waiving the
normal fee it charges its
BankAmercard accounts.
The legislation prohibits the
use of charge cards for any
services which are available
from private businesses, so
neither food, books or purchases
or rentals of residence hallspace
may be charged.
Arrangements for credit must
be made by the student with the
BankAmericard agency in his
home area prior to his
enrollment. Attempts to make
contractual arrangements with
Master Charge and American
Express were unsuccessful.

Students On Display
By Lynn Kalber
Feature Editor
A unique boutique, "The Full House", is opening it's doors both
commercial and otherwise, to the creative students of JC.
Owned and operated by Fred and Ruthie Bazinet, the shop has
offered to display creations by local students.
"The Full House" main feature are the crocheted bikinis {as seen
in the accompanymg photos), caftans, and "strings" made by
Ruthie, which have made the boutique famous. A new attraction is
the "one of a kind" artwork of the Bazinets, a "custom accent"
found on pants, shirts, and jackets.
Sequins, rhinestones, studs, and patches are sewn on in original
designs by Fred (a former JC student) and Ruthie, and specially
formulated paints are used for the creation of unique pictures.
"Individuality is the by-word. . ." states Bazinet.
The boutique also offers silver jewelry imported fi-om Mexico, and
other distinctive jewelry designs.
"The Full House" has been the subject of wide press coverage
firom Miami to New York and the Bazinets also appeared on the T.V.
show "What My Line?"
With one of the best advertised boutiques in the nation close to
campus, the craftsmen of JC now have an opportunity not afforded
them in the past.

Lunch, Music
By Timothy L. Bray
Entertainment Editor
' 'The answer is blowing in the
wind." This line is symbolic of
the many lyrics evolving
through folk music.
Carrying the tradition, JC
Student Government and the
Music Department are co-spon-
soring a Coffee House which
will be in the Cafeteria today
through the noon hour.
The JC Cafeteria will be filled
with music from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. It is being coordinated by
Robin Plitt, and Mr. Silvio
Estrada serving as the musical
chairman.
Today's Coffee House will
feature artists with many
original compositions, according
to Plitt. Greg O'Dell, "who's
guitar style resembles that of
David Mason," has two original
compositions. Frank Smith will
also be performing with his
"interesting and unique style".
"This music will not be the
purest folk. The music will
range from classical to moderate
rock," said Plitt.
Teaming up for a couple of
duets will be Randy Presley and
Linda Cooper. Robin Plitt will
also be performing.
Also headlining the cast is
classical guitarist Joseph Thr-
oop.
Plitt explained musicians
such as John Denver, Joni
Mitchell and others have helped
bring folk music back in focus.
"Folk music never went out of
existence because, frankly, folk
music is the music of the people.
Its music about life.
"If there wasn't a reoccurring
interest in folk music around the
country, then we would not be
having this Coffee House."
The works of the artists
involved are good original music
scores, stated Plitt. They will
also perform songs that have
made it in the Top 40 "folk
vein".
Plitt told the BEACH-
COMBER earlier, this Coffee
House is something which has
not been tried here at JC. It is
the hope of the Music
Department and SG that the
students will provide an
incentive to further activities on
campus.
Band In Full Swing
By lori Hlliebrand
Staff Writer
After 10 years of practice, Sy PryweEer, Concert Band Director,
either has the band well under control or a tremendous amount of
patience.
There are 40 members this semester, although the number is
known to fluctuate from 25 to 60 members at a time.
No auditioning's required to join the band, but a beginner need
not apply. The band, according to Mr. Pryweller, consists of people
who have played before and can read music.
Playing a variety of music the bands accomplishments vary from
symphonic music to Broadway hits.
According to Pryweller, fitting the positions with the right
number and type of instruments with the music is the biggest
problem.
"There is always a need for woodwind instruments," said Mr.
Pryweller, "and this semester we need more trombones."
Not all members in the Concert Band are music majors.
Psychology, Interior Design, Architecture, and Education, are also
represented.
"Everyone counts," said Pryweller "Everyone is important
toward the total sound."
Activities this semester include the Scholarship Concert at JC on
November 1 7andconcerts at Qsntaty Village October 5, the Delray
Beach Civic Center October 6, and the Christmas Concert again at
JC on December 12.

Television Influence Society
Glenn Powell
In past decades the media, whatever it might
consist of, has had more than a little influence on
the lives of everyone it reaches.
The radio for example, broaght news to more
people faster than anything ahead of its time. And
yet, the radio stilt had much the same effect on a
person's insight as the printed page only with a
more realistic and familiar flair.
Then came the glorious advent of television.
Now, not only could the average Joe hear the news
as it was happening, he could see it too! This
tremendous impact of realism has brought about
much change on the effect of the media on the
public and consequently much controversy in
recent years over what should be allowed on TV
programming. Because of its overall realism,
television is a highly believable medium.
This leads us to the "true life" drama. The plots
and stories of these dramas, are, of course,
fictitious and yet, because you can see what's
happening while it is happening it can all seem
very real.
We are bombarded with such a barrage of "true
life" dramas that it has become liard totell whether
those movies are part of the news or the news is
just another movie.
One particular illustration of this type of news
parody is a recent episode of the popular police
drama, "Hawaii Five-O". In this episode a gang
of misled teenagers (of course teenagers, who
else?) guided by a maniacal revolutionary are
ordered to murder key political characters in the
name of the New Revolution. They give out news
releases concerning their murders and go to great
lengths to explain their motives to the press.
Donning the title "Terrorist Revolutionary
Government", they kidnap one of the show's stars
and demand release of two of their companions
caught and charged with murder in return for the
police detective. Vi'ell, after communication via
CB radio and much diligence on the part of the
Great American Machine, the criminals are finally
caught and put in their right place.
This show (like many shows of this type) was
overtly peppered with insinuations and innuendos
relating to true facts to make it more realistic. To
illustrate, at one point in the show when the
murders become rampant and the terrorists make
public promise of more to come, the police
commissioner states, "I've dreaded this ever since
the Germans released the Palestinian comman-
dos". What could be more incriminating?
These innuendos imply that all terrorist groups
are inspired by Napolean types inflamed with a
preoccupation to either destroy the American
government or, in more fantastic arrangements,
take the entire world!
The implications involved in this show are
obvious. It was not that long ago that tlic
Symbionese Liberation Army was publicly
declaring guilt of the now hushed up Patty Hearst
case and had substantial political motives for doing
so.
I am not saying that this show is a direct link to
this or any other news fact, h is not. U is fiction.
These shows do, however, draw on a fact and the
tendency of the American Public to be influenced
by what can be seen and heard, especially on
television. It can make people believe that tlie
reasons or motives for fictional criminal acts could
also be the same motives for real criminal acts.
This is the power of television. Now, next time
you prop you your tootsies for a few views at the
tube, consider this. . .is it real because it's
happening or is it happening because it's real?
Suspicion, Doubfs, Suspense
By John Auchterlonie
Staff Writer
Take all of the suspicions,
doubts and "ifs" of conspiracy
used in the tragic assasinations
of political figures of the sixties,
devise a terrifying tale about a
secret underground organiza-
tion that recruits assasins for
that purpose and bring in a hero
to track down the clues - and one
has "The Parallax View".
The hero is Warren Beatty,
who is remembered from
"Bonny and Clyde". He plays a
long hair journahst who has had
his ups and downs in his
profession. So> now he does not
really care about the next guy
but had a deep journalistic love
to get the scoop and expose the
dishonest. No, he merely
stumbles on a few clues" and
before he knows it he's hot on a
trail of suspense and action
that's too big for him to handle.
Add some great scene shots
and good coordination of these
scenes, some tight directing by
Alan J. Pakula, and the results
are an easily followed suspense
flick.
Acting support comes from
HumeCronyn, William Danials.
and Paula Prentiss.
The "Parallax View" must be
a trend flick following "The
Sting". Although the time
periods and the story are
different, they both are
suspense movies. "China-
town" by being in the saine
time period, went even fuitheir
with just a little different style.
All three are suspense movies
with surprise endings. "Th
Sting" by far is the best of the
three while the remaining two
are of the same caliber and
significant to see, but th
"Parallax View" is the mor^
entertaining. ^
So suspense movie buffs "liv
it up" and pray they don't mak^
them worse and for us noi-mai
people who like to just get into «
film every now and then th
"Parallax View" can do it f^

Pisces: Tact is a valuable quality at this time.
While your opinions are valid, don't go waving
them under people's noses. Stirring up a dispute
can prove disastrous.
Aries: Plans made some time ago begin to come to
fruition. You can proceed confidently to bring
about new ventures.
Taurus: Watch and wait: Let other people betray
their intentions first. As with last week, someone
may be working against you. Let that person make
the first move.
Gemini; A special request or a confidential
conversation is hinted at: advantages are seen in
paying attention to them.
Cancer;
Words of encouragement are spoken to you by
someone who knows what he's talking about. A
probable trip out of town is indicated later this
week.
Leo; Changes in lifestyle and feelings are seen.
The opposite sex in particular (or same sex if you
happen to be gay) responds agreeably to your
strong, positive image.

Virgo; Temper your enthusiasm with good serise«
people are less likely than ever to be what they
seem. Snap judgements are unwise.
Libra: Creativity is accented, particularly in
school. Mechanical objects have a negative aspect
and your car may be giving you trouble or your
telephone may go out of order.
Scorpio: Money is a good word this week. If you
have it, make it work for you. If you don't,
pretending that you do can work wonders.
Sagittarins; Giving someone you don't know a
helping hand can prove profitable. So can noticing
someone the rest of the world seems to ignore. Get
organized; a lot of unexpected workloads are going
to be dumped on your shoulders.
Capricorn; Intangibles such as friendship and
talent lean in your favor, but inanimate objects are
not in your favor. Watch out for doors to be walked
into and things to be tripped over.
Aquarins: There is definitely a guiding light
somewhere in front of you - could be a person
you've recently become friends with. You know
instinctively where you're going.

original member, guitarist and
composer Fripp. Since then, the
group has personnel changes of
some sort on every album.
Fripp 's satest lineup inclu-
des: William Brufotd, percus-
sion: David Cross, viola, violin,
keyboards; Fripp, buitar,
mellotron, devices; John Wet-
ton, bass and voice.
They recently released their
seventh album, "Starless and
Bible Black", on the Columbia
label.
"Night Watch", probably
side one's best tune, contains all
the typical elements of Fripp
wizardry. The vocals on "Night
Watch" depict the lives of
'Jimmy Neil-
characters appearing in Rem-
brandt's famous painting by the

number "Trio" is mellow,
peacefully creating images of
, the sun rising out of the sea's
foggy, hazy horizon in a strange
far away island paradise. . .
"Fracture", the final track on
side two, is the best cut of the
album. A traditional Fripp
composifion, the arrangement is
totally outrageous. Side two
could tend to be difficult for the
non-musician to understand.
However, to most musicians the
contents will be something to
rave about.
Disney Londs Girls

Staff Writer
Debra Sperlich and Denise O'Neill, both former JC students,
were among a select group of college students chosen from
throughout the U.S. to participate is Disney's innovative Fine Arts
Work Experience Program this summer.
Debra, a May honor graduate and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
William Sperlich of North Palm Beach, combined an unusual
summer job with excellent training in professional entertainment at
Disney World m Orlando. Denise, a music and drama major,
participated in the Disneyland program in California.
Competition for acceptance in the exclusive group is stiff, and
both Debbie and Denise were chosen from the more than 250
students from 48 states who submitted video tape auditions to the
management. The talented young singer-dancers, as members of
the Park's 20 member "Kids of the Kingdom" musical ensemble,
perform in the forecourt of Ciftderella's castle four nights a week.
In addition they march in the 9:00 parade every night.
From the Tomorrowland Stage, the "Kids", featuring six male
and six female singers backed by eight musicians, offer guests a
variety of favorites in a spirited program which has captured the
hearts of millions of visitors.
Combined with the 12-week, paid adventure in professional
entertainment experience, the girls attended lectures and morning
classes taught by top professional musicians. They also earned 10
college credits fo taking the program, which ended September 7.
"Not only does the training provide fresh young talent to
entertain visitors, but it's a terrific experience for the students
participating," explained Debra, who plans to attend Florida
Atlantic University this fall.
Whether gaining knowledge in a class room or refining their skills
on the stage, Denise, Debra and other members of Disney's Fine
Arts summer workshop for '74 have enjoyed a learning experience
they won't soon forget.

trains on the streets and trails
of the community.
This can bring about some
■ very interesting situations.
One runner was stopped by
a policeman while running an
early morning workout.
Being the quick-witted soul
he was, the runner asked "How
fast was I going?"
The warden of a Michigan
prison ran ten miles around the
walls of his institution every
morning. One day a stranger
joined him for a workout.
. While the two strangers
huffed and puffed around tlie
prison wall, the warden had his
wallet and keys stolen from his
sweatsuit.
The stranger promptly
jogged away .
Anotiier runner was gliding
across a field when lie was
attacked by a turkey,.
The turkey persucd him for
two miles.
There is always the classii:al
story of the marathoner who
passed an asylum when one of
its occupants yelled from an
, upstairs window, "I may be
crazy- but I'm not imts."
There is an old cliche about
the loneliness of tlie bag
distance runner. 1 sometimes
wonder if there is any meaning
to it.
The Palm Beach Junior
College cross country team
opened its 1974 season last
weekend (Sat. Sept. 7) with an
impressive showing at a
four-team meet at Indian River.
The Pacers finished in a tie
for first with the host school by
scoring 33 points. Brevard
Community College took third
with a score of 65 points and
Florida Bible College of
Hollywood, trailed with 81
points.
Don Edgar and Ed Everett,
two transfer runners from
Broward CC, led the Pacers by
placing second and fifth overall.
Edgar finished the four and a
half mile course with a time of
25:48, \' liile Everett ran a time
of 26:24.
Mike Higgins, a freshman
from Lake Worth High, to.ok
sixth place with a time of 26:30.
Ken Anderson, a transfer
from Albany State and a former
teammate of Higgins, took the
final scoring position with an
eleventh place finish of 28:02.
"I am very' pleased with the
showing of our team," said
head coach, Dick Melear. "All
the boys ran very well today."
Melear feels that this race
was an indication of the strength
of his team.
"We looked very good
against Indian River and they
ran with the same seveii boys
who placed third in the state
meet last year," he said.
Flag-Tag Football
Practice Begins
Practice begins today for all
teams entered in the flag tag
football league sponsored by the
intramural department, accord-
ing to Roy Bell director of the
recreation program.
Teams will practice on
weekdays beginning at 2:00
p.m. on the football field located
in the south end of campus.
"Flag tag football is a
recreational sport designed to
give the pleasure, of throwing,
kicking, and running with a
football without the fear of
being tackled," said Bell.
The flag tag league is still
taking applications for teams
who wish to compete.
Also, individuals who wish to
take part in the football league
may either be drafted by one of
the existing teams or join
together in a group and form a
new team.
The season will last as long as
there is a demand from the
students with games being
played on Monday afternoons^
Games which are rained out
on Mondays, will be played on
Wednesday afternoons.
Anyone interested in compet-
ing in the league is asked to
leave an application in the
intramural office which is
located on the west wall of the
gym.
There are also postions
available for officials and other
non-playing personel. Anyone
interested should also visit Mr.
Bell in gym office 4K.
Foreign Student Teaches Korote
Paul Patanapratsith is the karate instructor for the I and R self #
defense class. Paul is a native of Thailand.

PBJC students are being
offered the chance to gain self
confidence, poise, peace of
mind, and the ability to protect
themselves from attack in the
new karate classes which are
being sponsored by the
intramurals department.
The classes meet three times
weekly at 1:30 p.m. in the gym.
Students will spend an hour
and a half on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, learn-
ing the basic techniques of
karate as taught by Pansak
"Paul" Ratanaprasith.
Paul, a native Thai, came
to PBJC after a brief period of
time at the University of
Bancock, where he studies
medicine.
After a falling out with the
school, Paul decided to transfer
to the United States, where he
became interested in the field of
electrical engineering.
"My foster father was an
electrical engineer, and 1
became interested in the field,"
Paul explained.
Paul lives in Jupher with his
"foster father", William Wor-
den, who owns the Ocean
Towers condominiums in that
area.
Paul is a certified, third
degree black belt holder with 10
years worth of experience to his
credit.
"There are 10 degrees of
black belt," Paul explained.
"With each step you improve,
you gain another degree of
whichever belt you are working
for."
According to Paul, there are
several different belts which one
may earn depending on the
proficiency with which fundi-
mentals of the sport can be
performed.
Paul also explained that there
are several different forms of
the martial arts. The difference
in the forms lies in the enphasis
of a certain technique.
' 'Ti boxing is very similar to
Korean Karate except that in Ti
Boxing, the emphasis is placed
more on the use of the feet,"
Paul explained.
"During the classes, we will
be doing exercises to limber,
strenghten and condition the
body," Paul said.
"Following the exercises,
tire dass will spend about a half
hour in yoga meditation.
"We don't want to walk out
onto the street feeling excited
and mean, so we spend some
time meditating," Paul expla-
ined.
According to Paul, the

meditation has other benefits
than the realization and relief of
tension.
"I have been able to see
myself more clearly through
meditation," Paul said.
"I can see myself as I am now
and as I have been."
Paul began learning the
martial arts as a child in his
native Tiland and has been
teaching for several years.
The Orientals hold self
defense arts as a part of their
culture and are indoctrinated
into its uses and purposes as
they mature, according to Paul.

Badmintoners Hold Meeting
The PBJC badminton club has

members who may have been
interested in the sport or curious
about it.
"Badminton is one of the
fastest games you will ever
play," said Bell. "It is a very
good sport for conditioning arid
developing the body."
The meeting was attended by
29 individuals who listened to
introductory, and explanatory
remarks from Bell and Faquire
before getting into some actual
matches.
Badminton is a similar sport
to tennis with several except-
ions.
Among these are the scoring
system and the cork which is hit
by a racquet.
Bell, who is the director of the
Intramural program, briefly
outlined the structure and
functions of the club.
"Because their is no women's
varsity badminton team this
year, the intramurals depart-
ment will provide transportation
to meets with other clubs in the
state." said Bell.
"Eventually we would like to
take a ladder tournament so we
can see how our players are
doing against each other," said
Bell.
"We have excellent facilities
here," said Faquire. "If we can
develop enough interest, we will
definitely play in some
tournaments."
Bell also said that the
intramurals department would
be giving out awards for several
categories in the club. Among
these would be awards for most
improved male and female,
most outstanding male and
female, and awards for those
members of the club with
regular attendance.
Bell said. "This class was very
popular, so we thought we
would do it again this year."
Bell said that he wanted to
see if there was anyone capable
of teaching the self defense
class who was on campus.
"We put out a call to see if we
could find an instructor for our
Karate class who was already on
campus," Bell said. "That's
how we found out about Paul."
Bell added that the students
should put the class in its proper
perspective.
"We don't want students to
come out for this class who want
to use it to intimidate their
friends and enemies. Self
defense is a defensive art and
not an agressive one."
Students who wish to take the
course need not worry about
purchasing a gi. The traditional
uniform for the class will not be
needed until after the first
month of classes, according to
Bell.
"This is an excellent way for
the students to take advantage
of their student activity fee,"
said Bell. "The student pays 15
dollars for the school to provide
him with an activity and this
class is one way of getting some
of their money back. ' '
Volleyball Club To Compete
The PBJC Jogging Course
offers students individual
opportunity for physical
fitness.
The Varsity women's volley-
ball team will not compete this
year, due to a lack of interest
and a heavy class load for the
coach, according to Dr. Howard
Reynolds, athletic director.
"I went to the conference
meeting last June and polled all
of the coaches to see if they
were going to have volleyball,"
said Reynolds.
"I found that none of the
teams were going to compete on
a varsity level. However,
several of the coaches said that
there would probably be
competition on a club level in
the area, said Reynolds.
PBJC will be one of those
junior colleges with women's
volleyball being played on a club
level.
The PBJC volleyball club
meets on Tuesday evenings at
7:00 with competition for both

Full Senate Slate
Chairmanship Change
Senators Take Sides
By BRIAN E. CROWLEY
Staff Writer
Faculty Senate needs a new
chairman, but despite the
efforts of some senators, the
changeover will probably not be
orderly.
The problem is a result of an
amendment to the Senate
Constitution which states that
"The Chairman and Vice
Chairman shall be elected by
and from the teaching and
nonteaching certificated faculty
for two year staggered terms."
Dr. Manor announced at the
last Senate meeting his
intention to step down from the
chair. During debate, some
Senators were claiming that the
vice chairman should automat-
ically succeed to the chair.
Others are calling for new
elections, but whether or not
this election would be for both
the chairman and the vice
chairman or just for one office is
not clear.
Part of the reason for the
present situation is the failure of
the Senate to have included in
the wording of the amendment a
method of implementation.
Relying on Robert's Rule of
Order, has been inadequate
because every faction is able to
find a section of Robert's to
support a particular argument.
A few members of the senate
state they believe this Thurs-
day's meeting of the Faculty
Senate will be the beginning of
an orderly transition of the
chair. Indications are, however,
that heated debate will
continue.

Faculty
Unions
Merge
By BRIAN EcCROWLEY
Assistant News Editor
The Palm Beach Junior
College chapters of the
American Federation of Teach-
ers (AFTG) and the Florida
Education Association (FEA)
have merged to form the 72
member United Faculty (UF) of
JC.
In meetings last week both
organizations voted unanimou-
sly to merge. The merger is an
attempt to obtain enough
membership to represent the
facuhy as a collective bargain-
ing agent.
Under a new state law
effective January 1, 1975, the
college board of trustees may
name one organization as a
collective bargaining agent
when it holds the ihajority
membership of the faculty.
As independent organizations
the FEA and AFT found that
many teachers were hesitant to
join, Ibelieving .that neither
group cbuio succeed.
The UF will need 26 or 28
additional faculty members to
claim majority faculty member-
ship. No trouble is being
anticipated in finding the new
members.
The UF president is Alan
Maxwell, former president of
the JC chapter of the FEA. The
vice president is Glen Marstel-
ler, former president of the JC
chapter of the AFT. Both are
members of the Science
Department.
The future goals of the new
organization are to improve
teacher salaries and working
conditions.

In It For The Money
There is an unwritten law concerning campaigning for public
office; have plenty of funds or you'll never win an election.
Ideally, a candidate's credentials should come first; the voter
should compare all the candidates and vote for the one he feels is
most qualified. Realistically, however, the vast majority of yoters
do not know each candidate's platform. Many times the voter pulls
the lever for the candidate he's heard of - the name that rings a bell.
Bumper stickers, billboards, brochures, television and radio
announcements, are the tools necessary to make that bell ring in the
minds of voters. It cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. The
astronomical sum is almost always out of reach for the middle-class
American seeking public office.
Does a candidate's election depend on his cash or his credentials?
It's too bad that many times a man or woman may desire a public
office and be qualified, honest and sincere but lack the one element
needed to get elected: money.
DenyRehobilifofion
Giving a man a second chance: the whole purpose of offender
rehabilitation. The Florida Board of Regents practically threw that
purpose out the window when they voted to ban felons from
attending law school.
The question of felons in law schools arose after David Morrison
was admitted to the Florida State University law school even though
he was sentenced in 1970 to 24 years in prison following convictions
for armed robbery and attempted robbery.
Morrison scored high on his law school admissions test. He also
recorded honors in college grades in a special program sponsored
by a Tampa correction center where he expects to be paroled soon.
Education is an unalienable right, vital in giving convicted men
another chance. In denying felons that education, the Regents are
making the word "rehabilitation" meaningless.
Examine Priorities
The Associated Press recently reported a little story that should
be of interest to Florida teachers.
It seems a teacher in Virginia got tired of hearing people say that
educators are nothing but overpaid babysitters. She sat down and
made some interesting calculations.
A child is in school about 35 hours a week for 40 weeks out of the
year. That makes a total of 1,400 hours per year. Using a
babysitter's lowest rate of 50 cents per hour, that comes to S700 per
year for one child.
But if a teacher has a small class of 25 children, and at the rate of
S700 per child, the teacher would make $17,500 per year if paid in
babysitter's wages.
The Virginia teacher said she would settle for those wages as she
is only drawing' $8,400 as a second year teacher.
Most Florida teachers would agree to that amount.
Last year, the average teacher salary in Florida was 510,000. It
seems a shame that people who are so instrumental in the formation
of our society should be deemed unworthy of better pay.
while they should be rewarded with possibly the highest salaries,
those salaries go instead to pro football players, and, on a lower
scale, the unskilled laborers.
Priorities are not in their proper place, that is for sure.

1 believe your article in last

was a gross exaggeration ol
what actually happened on
September 2 when the amplifier
(the WRAP amplifier in the

After having worked for two
days on the equipment. I
decided to test it out. Carlos

lamiliar with the amplifiers
op.eration. remained at the
station to run the test while I
checked the speakers.

that the patio speakers were
being overdriven and badly
distorted.

Kooky Karate Kids?
Editor:
a little birdie is flying around
the campus telling folks to
beware of kooky karate kids who
intend to instruct others in this
honorable act.
Watch out for two things.
First, much of what is termed
"karate" is simply an informal
course in self-defense. It has a
little acrobatics, holds, and such
thrown in. Remember karate,
all styles, consists of kicks,
punches, blocks and strikes.
Ask your instructor what type of
karate you are learning and
check that name.
Next, don't believe you can
become the second Bruce Lee in
a matter of months. Formal,
orthodox karate, takes at least a
year to obtain a yellow belt.
Don't be fooled; nothing
comes easily.

'51 Percent'
Woman's Work
•J. Michele Notter-
During the summer I lived in Melbourne Beach with my pareats.
I needed to find a job, so I would check the papers daily. There
weren't many jobs available so when 1 came across an ad for a
barmaid, I decided to apply.
Before, when I thought of bar work, my derriere would start
aching in anticipation of the pinching 1 would receive. My head
would spin at the thought of the propositions I would get.
Of course, this was going under the assumption that I was
attractive enough to receive such attention; I'm not known for
modesty, obviously.
1 decided to give the place a try. I called and made an
appointment and left early to try it out.
As I drove slowly past it, I noticed two synthetic marble nude
female statues outside. I thought, "What the hell, they are. either
there to attract attention or the owner is a rather poor (as opposed to
rich) art connoisseur."
My hopes undimmed and my feminist feathers unruffled, I
entered the nightclub.
Completely dark inside, it took my eyes a few minutes to adjust.
"When what to my wondering eyes did appear. . ." was at least 100
pairs of breasts (and the accompanying female form) winking at me
from canvases placed throughout the club.
I decided to be charitable - maybe the owner was a frustrated
gynecologist, but no. . .1 soon noticed a rather interesting collection
of copulating statues also placed throughout the bar.
The effect of the decor was unimaginative and definitely asexual.
The women's bodies on the paintings were beautiful, but a little
exaggerated. The mood of the paintings was spoiled by the Betty
Boop faces on the women.
My mind dwelled on the statues; my muscles ached and my bones
cracked at the thought of assuming such positions.
However, more important, was the complete irony that I Was
there, the so-called radical libber, to apply for a job. I wondered
how the owner would react if he saw the feminist symbol on my car.
The effect was so farcical that I was tempted to burn my
non-existant bra to compete with his joke on womanhood and sex.
1 wasn't angry or offended -just quivering inside with repressed
laughter. I decided to play the joke through. I filled out an
application while conversing with the owner.
I explained that I needed money for college to become an
accountant. He thought my goal admirable; he had wanted his son
to enter the same field.
I didn't blink when he told me I'd have to wear black on the job,
deeply cut at the neckline and hemmed at the ;top of my thighs. (I
did wonder if he expected me to get silicone injections though.)
The owner informed mp that he would make his decision on tlje
following day as to who he would hire.
I left, expecting a pat on my derriere ■ he had been so fatherly!
The next day I received a call from the owner asking me to start
that evening. 1 declined: the pay was just $6 an evening (from 6:30
p.m. to 3:00 a.m.) plus tips. The honor of working in thf^t
establishment was not eriough to make up for the pay.
Moral: Be kind (and generous) to a barmaid tonight, she may
have no other choice.
"I don't think she's so damned superior'
Mike's View
Musically Speaking At JC
AMI^ePiliero'
Last year it was my immense pleasure to attend'
the classes of professors Hugh D. Albee and Silvio
Estrada, two highly qualified instructors from our"
music department.
To dedicated teachers who are hardly spoken of,
I would like to devote today's space as pittance for
the profound example set by these instructors.
Albee effectively transmits his knowledge of
music theory and appreciation with a special zeal
arid humor.
Invariably the nattily dressed professor would be
seen hustling up the staircase toward his evening
class and when reaching and unlocking the
classroom door, strongly intone his favorite words
"Mama Mia" (A classmate estimates this to be a
direct result of an overindulgence in spicy foods.)
The expression signaled all over the humanities
building the start of Mr. Albee's class.
Inside the classroom the work began - but not
before a warm hello, how are you, to every
student.
I observed with admiration, the warm manner
and arduous effort used by Albee to "reach" each
and every student - those that were anxious to
learn and those that needed prodding or
encouragement to want to learn.
I only wish that he would inject some "Albee
humor" in his exams.
Silvio Estrada stands out equally as well for his
ceaseless efforts in teaching music fundartventais
and guitar. He impresses me by always having at
least two or three ways to solve each musical
problem.
Having conducted orchestras all over the world,
composed music for movies, and experimented in'
modern forms of music education, Estrada has a
lot to draw from. He, like Albee, wants every
student to thoroughly understand what is taught.
Besides his dedication to teaching music, ■
Estrada finds the time to be instrumental in .
various aid to disadvantaged and migrant workers. '
He is a well-rounded person, I also like his ties.
He won't sell them and they don't make them that
way anymore.
"To Albee and Estrada; please continue - your
message rings loud and clear, and will reverberate
ever gently on the minds of your students for years
to come.
Lost Exit
Just What Are We Supposed To Think?
— ■- — Marc Bressler
h was long after midnight
when 1 climbed into the front
seat of the Cadillac limousine in
the ambulance squad building.
Even sitting in the dimly lit
garage, the fiery red paint of the
sleek rescue vehicle seemed to
be ablaze when I looked at it, as
if h spoke of the tragedy and
suffering it has witnessed.
The car was no novice in
handling emergencies, and as 1
turned the ignition, the mighty
roar of its 427 cubic inch engine
reaffirmed my confidence in it.
My partner on the usually
tedious night shift, Ted Camlin,
climbed in alongside me and sat
in mute silence as we sped out
the garage door and into the
oblivion called night.
Though it was just one of a
thousand such rescues, there
was no shaking the feeling that
this one, a trip to the Jupiter
Island beach, would be
somehow different than any
other.
In a matter of minutes we
arrived at the origin of the call, a
barren stretch of sand decorated
with rusted beer cans, old tires
and some trees. The latter bent
away from the ocean, as if in
fear, crippled by the powerful
winds of a hurricane years past.
The moon hid behind the
clouds, and only the ever-mov-
ing beams of police flashlights
and the occasional sweep of a
lighthouse beam provided any
illumnination. An officer,
flashlight pointing, guided us to
a secluded spot around which
policemen were gathered.
Lying in a bed of sand and
clothes in a scanty frock was the
body of a frail young girl. In one
hand, grotesquely stiffened by a
state of rigor mortis, was a small
pocket knife. The other hand,
obscured by a pool of blood, lay
at her side. Both wrists were
slashed.
"Happens all the time," Ted
grunted as we lifted the bodv
into the back of the ambulance.
"Girl gets into a fight with her
guy, decides it's all over - and
takes the exit." He noticed the
somber expression upon my
face,
"Look, Marc," he said as he
closed the back doors and we
got into the front seat, "If every
doctor took each patient's death
personally, where would he be?
in the nuthouse, that's where."
"How can you be so cold?" I
asked as we began the long trek
to the county morgue. "That's
a young girl there - flesh and
blood - a whole life snuffed out.
You don't even care!"
He leaned back and began to
strap the body in. "Sure 1 care.
I'm just as sorry as you are that
the chick's dead. But I can't let
it get to me - or I'll be uselss on
the squad."
"Why would someone fust
end it all - so -so quickly?" I
asked no one particular. "So
young, so naive. . .there is just
so much ahead for a girl like
that. It really gets me down."
"Maybe you're right," Ted
admitted. "After 15 years of
this • seeing wrecks and murder
cases - one does become a little
unfeeling." He pondered the
tltouglTt as we swung _ out from
the beach road onto the main
thoroughfare.
"Wonder what her boyfriend
will think?" I said. "You know,
I mean when he comes to
identifying the body. Suddenly
that little quarrel or fight they
had won't seem so little now. I
can imagine how he'll feel.
"Think of her family -
mother, father, and the rest - all
upset. Life will be pretty hard
on them now."
The ambulance cruised down
the road, the red light perched
on top silent for a change, as if it
spoke of the grim fate of the.
extra passenger.
"I have to feel sorry for the
girl," Ted said. He leaned back
and removed the covers from
her face to stare at it.
"Look at her, so pretty with
all that make-up. Hey, 1 just
noticed something: all that
make-up. . ."
"What is it, Ted?"
"The girl - the rouge, the lip
gloss, all so heavily applied.
The humidity caked it to her
face in gobs. I hadn't really
paid any attention to it." He
took the covers off the body
completely.
"So?" -
"So it's not a girl - it's a
guy!" Ted exclaimed. "A guy,
dressed up as a chick." He
dropped the covers and sank
back into his seat,
"Why?" 1 asked.
The question is: are we supposed
to feel sorry for him now?That's
the difference.
Back on tHe beach, a wave
brought in by the changing tide
engulfed the spot where the
body had Iain. It pulled back to
sea the blood, the last
remaining memory of the trip to
the beach.

Student Loans Offered
At State Level
ByJANTUCKWOOD
Editorial Assistant
Florida IMversity students
should find education loans
easier to come by here than
elsewhere because of state aid.
According to Carol Smith,
director of financial aid at
Florida Atlantic University,
"The difference is the state has
stepped into the field to aid the
needy student. Most banks are
moving out of the Federal
Insured Student Loan program
because lending money is
difficult to find and the banking
field sees the student loan
program as a big hassle."
A money pinch last year
reduced the number of
participants in FAU's student
loan program by about a
hundred. The figure is expected
to rise again with the state in the
program.
Florida's loan program limits
the aid to $1,500 during an
academic year. The applicant
must be a state resident for at
least one year. This funding
must be used for education
costs, although that includes
housing, food and transporta-
tion along with tuition and book
expenses.
Funds have also been
appropriated by the state and
"should be available by
December of this year for
student aid which would cover
those whose family income is
above the $15,000 level and who
are not eligible for interest-free
loans," Miss Smith added.

"Click!" the picture is taken,
what now - take the film to the
drugstore and have it de-
veloped? For many of us this is
the procedure we follow.
For Jerry Uelsraann, inter-
nationally known photographer,
Donald Waxman and Ralph H.
Blankenship Jr., former Palm
Beach Junior College graduates
and outstanding photographers,
this is not enough.
A show of fabulous works by
these photographers can now be
seen in the humanities building
on the ground floor gallery.
Jerry Uelsmann, famous for
his photographs resuhing from'
experimental dark room tech-
niques, is represented in many
private and public collections,
some of which are the Addison
Gallery, George Eastman -
House, Metropolitan Museum,
Museum of Modern Art,
National Galleries of Canada
and the Smithsonian.
Uelsmann has this to say
about his photographs and dark
room tecliniques, "It is ray
conviction that the dark room is
capable of being in the truest
sense, a visual research lab; a
place for discovery, observation
and meditation."
Donald Waxman's work has
been exhibited in group shows
at the University of Iowa,
Chicago, Illinois, London Col-
lege, London, England, Gallery
1, North Palm Beach and Fort
Lauderdale Museum of the
Arts.
Many of his photographs have
been featured in magazine
publications. "Camera", pub-
lished in Lucerne, Switzerland
carried his photographs in their
August 1973 issue and "Ama-
teur Photographer" of London
published some of his photo-
graphs in the August, Septem-
ber, and October issues of 1973.
The Palm Beach Post in
December 1973 also featured
photos by Donald Waxman.
Look for works by Donald
Waxman in future issues of
"Creative Camera" and "Play-
boy."
Another more recent grad-
uate of PBJC, Ralph H.
Blankenship Jr. started his
college education at JC in the
fall of 1970. He was an art
major who worked for one and a
half years before reorientating j
his studies to photography and i
upon graduation in 1973 he
received an Associate Degree. ■
While at PBJC Ralph worked ■'
as a parttime free lance ,
photographer, and today, al- \
though employed at P.E.C, a |
division of Photo Electronic j
Corporation, he still does full [
time free lancing, such as ;
portraiture, commercial, roo- '
deling portfolios and compos- ■
itcs. Ralph specializes in his ;
sensitive portrayal of women.
These three excellent photo-
graphers' works now on exhibit :
until September 27 can be seen ]
in the Humanities building ;
Monday thru Thursday from 8 \
a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday from i
8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gallery is :
closed Saturdays, Sundays and ^
holidays.
Mr. James B. Miles, cMrimn .
of the Art Department, com-
mented, "The photos ate
extremely well done; anyone :
interested in creative photo- .
graphy would gain a great deal
from this exliibit."

The Chess Club is off to a
floundering start. At this time
the club has about seven
members but Terry Wilkinson,
president, feels there are many
more people who are interested
and do not know about the club.
The major problem at this
time is not the lack of members
but the lack of an advisor for the
club. In accordance with the
rules of the college, no club or
organization may receive any
■^ funds from the school without
I having an advisor or sponsor.
I Without funds to function, the
I club will either have to find their
I own ways to raise the funds or
I else disband.
I The chess club can be found
I in the northeastern end of the
I SAC lounge. This club is not
I only for the expert chess player,
I but it is also for anyone who
I would like to learn the game.
1 For aU interested people there is
I a yellow sign-up sheet by the
"* mailboxes in the back of the
SAC Lounge.
At the present time the club is
only in the organizational stage
but they have hopes of entering
tournaments on the state and
county levels and also even
sponsoring a tournament for all
interested PBJC students.
Terry has a great interest io'
the game as well as in the club:
and is really working hard to get;
this club off the ground. So, are-
there any interested advisors foi !
the club? With the right people;
and spirit, Terry sees the chance-
for becoming county or evenj
state champions!
AV Avenues Open

A little known area of JC is
the Audio Visual Center on the
.first floor of the library building.
It contains invaluable resources
for students and has TV filming
and monitoring rooms, film
rooms, and a close-circuit
monitor room.
Staffed by JC Work Study
students, under the direction of
Mr. Milton Thomas, the center
is open from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00
p.m. Mondays through Thurs-
days and from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. on Fridays. In order to use
the tapes, machines, and other
aids, a JC library card must b e
presented at the take-out desk.
Palm Beach Junior College's Learning Recourses Center offers
students a vast variety of both audio visual teaching aids.
The center contains a printing
press (for the printing of posters
and pamphlets;, filmstrip pro-
jectors, TV monitors, slide
projectors, and tape cassette
players. TV shows or films from
the library can be monitored
into classrooms for use with
current lessons.
The tape library in the AV
Center houss 600-700 video
tapes on catalog and contains
Spanish and French tapes which
can be checked out overnight.
For students convenience blank
cassettes can be brought in and
taped for personal use.
the film library is quite
extensive (664 films) and
besides the usual science and
math films, contains police
instructional films and the film
of "Future Shock". These can
be viewed, with the exception of
certain police films.
"We cover every area of
curriculum on campus," reports
Thomas. So far the nursing and
dental hygiene schools are the
two main areas using the lab.
Thomas hopes more students
and faculty wili take advantage
of the services the Audio Visual
Center offers them.

Gross Attends AIBS Conference
ByLORIHILLEBRAND
Staff Writer
Mr. Richard Gross, JC
biology instructor attended the
Silver Anniversary meeting of
the American Institute of
Biological Sciences (AIBS) at
Arizona State University in
June. 1974.
Over 2,000 biologists atten-
ded the seminar which included
exhibits, workshops and over
100 research reports.
The week long trip, during
which Gross took pictures and
gathered information to bring
back to JC, also offered a field
trip that lasted from 6 a.m. until
! a.m. the next morning. The
trip covered 400 miles of the
desert and took the biologists
through the desert and into the
mountains, stopping at intervals
to let them study the terrain.
Gross was impressed by many
things. "The heat was like an
oven, a dry oven." he said and
concluded, "It was a different
world." He also felt that the
desert people were friendlier
that city people. He was happy
to see that the homes did not
have lawns, but had giant rock
gardens instead. "This is good
ecologically, it saves so much
water" he said.
■ In addition to his visit to
Arizona, Gross had been
working on a biology book:
Biology; An Uncommon Intro-
duction by Robert McNally.
Gross was asked to go over the
manuscript and decide what
pictures were needed and to
submit his own.
"I have had pictures in other
books, but not as many as this"
he said, "I was like the photo
editor."
Out of the 75 pictures he, sent
50 were used. In addition to
Gross's pictures, Steve Kratka,
then President of the Science
Club, submitted 20 pictures, 9
of which were used in the book.

Mrs. Nobis finds exciting.
She says the Sweet Adelines
keeps a repertoire of old tunes
such as "I Want A Girl Just Like
the Girl Who Married Dear Old
Dad" because our audiences
like them, but we're also
learning some of the more
modern songs."
She's loved music for as long
as she can remember.
"I remember my father and I
used to sing together when I
was about four years old," she,

When Mrs. Nobis was
six-years-old, her parents heard
her picking out melodies on the
piano, so they started her on^
piano lessons, which she
continued for nine years. (Later
at PBJC, she had lessons from

of the Music Department).
She has a son and daughter

Satires Screened

Entertainment Editor
Johnathan Winters, in "Viva Max!" and James Bond in "Casino
Royale", head an all-star cast in two separate movies which are to
be shown at 7:30 p.m. in the SAC Louqge Friday night.
"Casino Royale" carries a plot that is just too much for one James
Bond. So, consequently Niven, Sellers,- Allen, and Cooper are all
007.
Bond in this superspectacular flick makes love to 43 women,
shoots 56 men, rides in a flying saucer, and among other
extravagances takes a naughty peak behind the iron curtain.
The New York Times feels this movie is "grandly launched,
riotous and romantic." The song "Look of Love" won an Acadeipy
Award nomination for Best Song. "It's fun and laughs all the
way," stated Cue Magazine.
Also on the billing is "Viva Max!" Peter Ustinov plays the
Mexican general who recaptures the Alamo, and the worlds most
powerful army can't get him out. 'Opposing the crazy general is
Jonathan Winters who plays a National Guard Biigadier General
and part-time mattress salesman.

The chess club holds practice
in a small room located on the
east wall of the north SAC
lounge.
The room is an oversized
alcove with six tables, 12 chairs
and a small bookcase containing
back issues of a variety of
magazines including "Chess
Review."
With nothing better to do on a
Monday afternoon, the slightly
built, ambitious youth with the
wire rimmed glasses was
playing a game against a novice
friend and winning quite
sadistically.
As fate and fortune would
have it. Wire Rim completed his
dehumanization process just as
a tall gentleman with long dark
hair made his way quietly into
the room.
"Nice game," said Long Hair
in a voice that would have made
an ant turn up his hearing aid.
"Do you play chess?" Wire
Rim answered as he gloated
over the compliment.
This question was answered
with a nod which set the scene
for a "battle of wits" which
would last at least fifteen
minutes.
The game progressed evenly
until Long Hair spoke.
"You know, I just got out of
the hospital" he said.
This remark was obviously
aimed to inspire pity, which it
did with success.
Long Hair was ahead by a
pawn.
The game continued in a
smiliar fashion with Losig Hair
telling tales of disease and
personar injury which made the
records at General iospital look
like the assignmert sheet for a
ditch digger.
Time sped by. Long Hair
swept the board clean almost as
quickly.
Finally the game ended and a
cold feeling of recollection came
dver Wire Rim.
"How King have you been
playing?" he asked.
"Oh - not very long," was
long hair's reply.
"Didn't I play you before? I
never forget a sound defeat."
"Yeah, I play<gi-you once,"
,. Finally Long Hair put his
'nonconimital self aside and
admitted the truth.
Wire Rim had just been
hustled by the tri-county chess
champ of 1974.

Turnout Pleases Rhodes
By KOBIN PLITT
Sports Editor
Dusty Rhodes, PBJC baseball
coach, will have no problem
filling up every position on his
1975 squad. Fifty two players
reported for practice last week.
Rhodes says the large turnout
at practice has both advantages
and disadvantages.
"I've had to split the team
into two groups," said Rhodes.
"I work with the infielders while
the outfielders are in the batting
cage on one day and reverse the
process on alternate days."
Rhodes added that the
majority of the ball players are
non-scholarship players.
"We have 18 scholarship
players and the rest are all
walk-ons," said Rhodes.
"We have a lot of good
players who just walk out for
practice," said Rhodes. "Some
of the walk-ons may be good
enough to take a job away from
some of the scholarship
players."
Rhodes feels the larger
number of players and the
increased competition it' brings
will be an asset to his team.
"It isn't just a case of
quantity," he said. "We have a
lot of good players trying for all
the positions. This competition
will keep everybody on their
toes."
"I'd like to cut the squad
down to 30 guys by the end of
the Fall. We p'ay our first
preseason game on January
10th and I'd like to make the cut
before then," said Rhodes.
The baseball team has a fall
schedule of 20 games so Rhodes
has a chance to evaluate all his
players. Dade North, Indian
River and Broward are three of
the teams the Pacers will play.
"I want to see how the buys
look against good teams," said
Rhodes. "With a schedule like
the one we have this fall I will be
able to tell what kind of people I
have to work with."
Rhodes said he is very
optimistic about his first year as
head coach.
"Dade North and Dade South
won't be where they were last
year," he said. "Both teams
lost a lot of players through
graduation."
Graduation did not hurt the
Pacers, according to Rhodes"
We have more returning players
than any other team in the
division.
"Pitching will probably be
one of our strong points. ' * ' 'We
have 11 pitchers including
several veterns from last year
and some transfers from a
couple major colleges," said
Rhodes.
There is little weakness in the
hitting department, he said.
"We have some good hitters
trying out and some of our
better hitters are returning from
last year's team."
Rhodes is taking other steps
to improve the entire athletic
program at JC.
"When you do something you
do it for the college," said
Rhodes. "You can't support
one program and not another."
"1 think we should try and
support all of our programs from
baseball to women's softball
because each one is a vital part
of the entire college environ-
ment."

The Intramural and Recre-
ation Department is sponsoring
a bowling tournament begin-
ning Wednesday, Oct. 2 from 4
to 6 p.m. at the Major League
Lanes in Lake Worth.
The I and R' board will pay for
the first six weeks of the
tournament furtiishing three
games and bowling shoes at no
cost to JC students.
The remaining six weeks of
the tournament costs the
students S1.65 per day which is
far less than area bowling alleys
normally charge, according to
Roy Bell, director of the
intramural program.
The tournament is played on a
team basis with men's and
women's teams of four
'members competing for the top
prize as a team.
Individual awards are offered
in both catagories. Honors will
be given for high to'tal, high
series, high average and high
single game.
The tournament will last as
long as students remain
interested, said Bell.
■ Inividuals and teams who
wish to compete in the bowling
tournament should fill out the
application form available in
this week's Beachcomber and
bring the form to office 4K in
the gym.
Participants are asked to meet
promptly at 4 p.m. on the first
day of the meet.
team holds tryouts in mid
October.
Gary Ray, a graduate of Lake
Worth High School, and
Roberto Rizo, a native of
Venezuela, return from last
year's team, when a 19-1 record
for the best mark in Pacer tennis
history was compiled.
Rizo, ranked number one in
his native Zulia, Venezuela, had
a record of 23-3 in his 1974
season which included a victory
in the state doubles match.
Gary Ray, an, all Conference
netter and a member of Lake
Worth High's Senior Hall of
Fame in 1973, won 13 matches
against six losses during his
freshman year at JC.
McGirt reaps the benefits of
Hamid Faquire's recruiting
talents as he works with
freshmen Normond Russell and
John McCarley.
Faquir, who served as interim
tennis coach while McGirt took a
sabbatical leave to work on his
Doctor's degree at VPI, signed
the two candidates earlier this
summer.
Russell is a 17-year-old from
Kingston Jamaica and is ranked
as the number one junior singles
player in the Carribbean and the
number seven overall male
singles player in the islands.
"He's good enough to be our
number one player this year and
at this point I can see where he
is better than Clive Rothwell
was at a similar point in his
career," said McGirt.
Rothwell was a native of
England who played in the
number one position during his
two-year stay at JC.
McGirt explained that Russ-
ell's good points as a tennis
player include a consistant serve
and volley.
McCarley , the other incoming
freshman prospect, played the
number one position for Elkton
High School in his home town of
Newark, Del. He was also the
number four player in the NeW
England states.
' I don't know how good we will
be this year," said McGirt, "but
we do have very good
potential."

By BRUCE MOORE
News Editor
In an effort "to find out where
student interest lies so that we
can channel our energies in
those directions," SG's Execu-
tive Board is undertaking a
massive survey of JC students.
SG's newly created Question-
naire Committee met Friday to
draft specific questions for the
survey, which covers such
diverse topics as beer and wine
on campus, used book sales,
and establishment of a VD clinic
atPBJC. ^ .
Executive Board Vice Presi-
dent Dolor Ginchereau expects
the survey to be distributed to
classes within" the next four to
five weeks.
"Originally my idea was to do
the survey on the beer and wine
issue," said Ginchereau.
"However, the executive d
has extended the survey to >ju=er
areas so we know where to
direct our energies."
Ginchereau wants to include
questions concerning alcohol in
the survey, despite the fact that
a special referendum was held
on the same issue last spring.
The resolution called for ''the
, possession and consumption,
but not sales and distribution, of
alcoholic beverages on campus
for non-class hours."
Though 150 out of 194
students approved the alcohol
resolution, Ginchereau felt the
small voter turnout made the
results "not a valid indication of
how the student body feels."
Explaining further, Gincher-
eau commented that "because
of the small ratio of last spring's
vote, I. don't feel I could go to
the Board of Trustees and
justify that students at JC want
beer on campus."
Questionnaire Committee me-
mbers have not discussed the
survey with administration
officials. However, Ginchereau
feels that discussions with the
administration are probably
going to occur after the results
are tabulated.
"Data Processing will be
assisting us in tabulating the
results," said Ginchereau. Ttie
SG vice-president also is urging
students to submit suggestions
and questions for possible use in
the .questionnaire', to the
executive board mailbox in the
North SAC Lounge.
New Library Plan
By SUSAN KYTE
Staff Writer
JC and 98 other colleges,
junior colleges and universities
throughout the southeastern
part of the United States have
united their libraries by
computer. This computerized
library system is known as
Solinet (Southeastern Library
Institutional Network).
The system, an offspring of
the Ohio College Library Center
(OCLC), lists the titles of all the
books that are entered in the
card catalogs of the 99 member
institutions.
Each book is listed only once
and a computer typed catalog
card is sent to every college that
has that particular publication.
When a new publication is
received by the college it can be
processed into the computer's
memory banks. Then if the book
is already listed in ihe memory
bank, the charge that must be
paid will be only three cents for
the catalog card.
If the book is not already
listed in the computer's memory
bank, there will be an extra
charge of nine cents per book
along with the charge for the
printed card.
For Solinet's first three years,
their computer will be tied into
the memory banks of the
OCLC's computer. This not only
gives Solinet easy access to
more books but it is also helping
to build up the memory banks of i
their own computer. There will i
be a slight overhead charge for
this time period but at the end of I
the three years Solinet will be on ■
its own two feet and will not ■
have to pay out extra money to I
the OCLC for the use of its
computers.
The purpose of Solinet is tc ;
allow for a much more rapi<i -y^gy |
of cataloging books, supply a;
reference service to all niembei I
colleges and also have greater
accessibility to a larger nutnberi
of subject materials. Because of!
this system, the availability of'
materials to the patron wju }je i
much more improved.

Circle K Searches For An Advisor
By ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Circle K has been in search of a faculty advisor since
la'*- January, according to Jerry Kreucher, president of
the service club .
The advisor's duties include responsibility for the
club's actions, attending all the club's meetings, doing
paperwork and acting as the club's spokesman.
"This is a tremendous load to put on teachers,"
comments Kreucher. "They're just too busy. If a
teacher is going to be an advisor he should be given a
lighter class load. It used to be set up like that. It's
partly the administration's fault and partly apathy on
the part of the teachers," he added.
Kreucher has placed announcement's in faculty
bulletins and has talked to all the deans and
department heads.
"I've done alll can," he said. "I can't go ask every
teacher on campus."
Although all clubs on campus are supposed to have
two advisors, last year Circle K functioned with only
one.
"However, she was too busy to be of much help,"
said Kreucher.
"I'm so used to doing the paperwork that it won't
make that much difference if we don't find an advisor,
but I'd like one just to make it legal."
Apathy isn't a problem only with teachers. Circle K'
membership is very low and Kreucher would like to
improve it.
"Circle K is the only active service club on campus.
All you need is $10 and a desire to do a little work. ' It's
the easiest club to get into," notes Kreucher.

Senate elections were held
last week despite many
setbacks.
Friday night prior to the week .
of elections the problems began
when Marc Graham, secretary
of elections, called several
candidates and told them there
would be no election. Only 24
people were running for the
same number of seats.
Upon finding out about
Graham's decision, Tory Buck-
ley, SG president, informed
there would be elections as
stated in the. constitution.
When voting started Monday,
many poll workers had not been
the voting continued. Voter
notified that the elections would
be held which resulted in a
shortage of help at the polls.
Later Monday the voting
machine on the Business Patio
was found to be faulty, so it was
closed. Despite these problems
turnout was light with only 2%
of the entire student body
voting.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Beachcomber ■\vas promised by Dolor
Ginchereau,, SG vice president, to be given the results of the re-
cent .senate elections. Ginchereau did not meet his obligations.
The Beachcomber firmly believes that the student body has
the right to know tlie results of any student govermnent activ-
ity as soon as possible.
The Beachcomber made repeated attempts to obtain the in-
formation but received absolutely no cooperation from SG.
Buckley attributed the poor
turnout to the fact that "People
don't care enough to take the
time to vote,"
Only 24 people were running
for office but the voting
machines showed 26 names.
This was due to the fact that two
of the candidates dropped out at
the last minute.

for a new chairman and

Opposition forces attempted
to have the vice-chairman
automatically succeed to the
chair. This move to have Mrs.

chair received little support.
An amendment was made to
Schmiederer's motion allowing
only for the nomination and

Q Two men have recently been spraying a white foamy liquid Into
the northern end of Lake Osborne, adjotaing JC's campus. What
ate they up to?
A - The two men are employed by the Mosquito Control
Department, under the direction of Mr. John Thuss.
"We only use chemicals approved by the State Board of Health,"
said Thuss. The chemicals used such as Curon, Diquat and Dowpon
"are high in their toxic levels and therefore harmless to fish and
marine life," according to the director.
The need for chemicals is intense because of a large amount of
alligator weeds in the northern end of Lake Osborne. The stems of
the alligator weeds provide an excellent breeding spot for the
mosquitos.
According to Thuss, the alligator weeds "are worse at the
northern end of Lake Osborne than any other place in the county."
Now that winter approaches, the mosquito population will be on
the declin^. Thuss assured me that "mosquitos can't grow too well
in winter due to lack of nutrients."
Q - Why are the clocks at this college never telling the right time?
The clock m Social Science 1 is never working!
A Tliat clock is probably one of fifty or mca-e malfunctioning units in
the JC clock system.
Over 15 years ago the present system of clocks was installed, with
the master clocks located in the Finance office.
Malfunctioning is caused by rain seeping into the large manholes,
located in four niajor areas of activity throughout the school.
Director of JC's Physical Plant, Mr, Claude Edwards, indicates
that "whenever we have heavy rains, the four major circuits located
in the man holes are flooded with water; this causes electrolysis to
take place, thereby corroding the circuits."
Edwards also says that terminals which have remained dry have
corroded because of the awkward position they are placed in by
being under ground.
"If clocks are less than 15 minutes off," said Edwards, "they will
be corrected by signals sent from the master clock; but if they get
beyond the 15 minute limit, . they have to be reset by going
underground to one of the manhole terminals."
Another cause of the poor system, according to Edwards, is the
Lake Worth Power Company, which provides "inconsistent power
service which often affects the timing,"
Plans call for a total recabling to the present system in the near
future, and frankly, its about time!

School Board Candidates addressed students in
the SAC Lounge at an assembly sponsored by the

morale is one of the major problems in the Palm
Beach county school system. He cited the results of
a recent teacher survey showing 63%of the
Photo by Jim Collins
Dr. Bradley T. Coatesi "Teacher morale is one of
the major problems m the . . . county schools."
Local Firms Rejected
teachers feel the Superintendent of Schools and
the School Board show little concern for them.
Coates states an incentive type pay program for
teachers should be instituted based on the teachers
graduate hours.
He also feels that the school board should pay
for any mandatory schooling of teachers in pre-
paration for classroom teaching.
Visual and hearing tests should be administered
from Kindergarten through the third grade says
Dr. Coates, because reading problems, if resolved
early, would be taken care of.
JC teacher Dr. C. Errol Hicks, a member of the
Palm Beach County's School Board four years, has
seen the system undergo many changes during
that time.
He says "In the past four years the students
have been subjected to a totally different and
unique experience in human relations," causing
an improvement for both the schools and the
students. There are still a number of problems that
need to be solved, he states and main problem
being over-crowding in the schools.
Hicks feels that everyone should "realize the
significance of the school system in the
community." .
Daniel W. Hendrix was the final speaker. He
also has been member of the school board for the
past four years and during that time has organized
many new programs.
He feels a greater emphasis should be placed on
reading in the elementary schools and portable
classrooms as well as 34% of all other roonis
should be air conditioned. When Hendrix was
asked what motivates him, he said care about the
community and the schools.

If an agreement including
both duties and price can be
reached, Hellmuth, Obata and

Currently Circle K is involved

Ecology Course Available Ai JC
JC is now offering a course called The
Environment, Society and You, It will be
instructed by Mr. Bruce Robinson a member of
the Federated Conservation Council and selected
speakers from agencies, educational institutions
and industry.
Classes are scheduled in the PBJC North
Center located at Howell L. Watkins Junior High
School. Interested students should register at
Watkins in Room El at 6:30 p.m. on October 1.
The. fee is $10.00.
HOK was recommended in a
motion by trustee Ms. Harry
Anstead, who said the firm has
"the most experience building
educational facilities throughout
the country." Trustees Dr. R.
L. Smith and M. S. Hand joined
Ms. Anstead in approving HOK
by a 3-2 vote.
Board Chairman Dr. E. M.
Eissey and Ms. Homer Hand
dissented, with Eissey explain-
ing he would prefer to use local
planning firms "where we
can."
Seven firms bid for the right
to negotiate the planning
contract.
JC President Dr. Harold C.
Manor observed following the
vote that the college was
"extremely fortunate that all
firms came twice to make
presentations to the Board."
Manor said he felt any of the
seven firms would have done a
good job.
Should negotiations with
HOK prove fruitless, the firms
of Daniel, Mann, Johnson and
Mendenhail, Los Angeles, and
Lemon and Megginson, Titus-
ville, Florida, will be consid-
ered.
September's Board meeting
also included postponement of a
motion urging the Board to
appeal a teacher pension law.
The law is considered discrim-
inatory by a majority of the
Faculty Senate members.
The pension law, effective
January 1, 1975, makes it
mandatory for employers to
make regular four per cent
pension contributions for all
Florida Retirement System
members.
Speaking before the Board,
Ms. Maxine Vignau, Faculty
Senate Vice-chairman, said the
law is discriminatory to 102 JC
teachers now under Social
Security. '
Despite Gov. Reubin Askcws
recommendation be considered
the bill was passed without any
Social Security provision.
Ms. Vignau said local State
Sen. Russell Sykes had told her
the bill was rushed through at
the end of the legislative
session. Exclusion of Social
Security members in the bill Was
just an oversight, he said.
Following Board Attorney
Richard Burk's report that

Among the problems causing the

The buses run 7:25 a.m. - 6:25 p.m.
from Lake Worth to JC on Route 6.
Transportation is available for those who
live outside Lake Worth. Schedules are
posted on bulletin boards.
Student Government worked on
surveys which showed a definite interest
in the service, before it was established.
According to Glynn there is now little
demand for the buses.
"If demand was greater we'd get
better bus service," notes Glynn , "but
students have a felxible course schedule
tied in with jobs. This necesshates
owning a car. I don't know how to beat
that."
For many years special buses were
provided for students from the Glades,
but the service was discontinued. Less
and less students rode them after the
Glades Center was established.
Last year an unsuccessful attempt was
made to develop an express line for
evening students.
"As this area grows more metropoli-
tan, more buses will be used," says
Glynn, "but students won't use them
unless they absolutely have to."

OAA adviser Ms. Jacqueline Rouse
explains that both white and black
students are eligible for OAA
membership. "I'm not going to rope
whhes to join the OAA, ' ' said Ms. Rouse.
"All students that pay activity fees can
become members."
As stated in the club's constitution:
"The purpose of OAA is to promote
interactions between Afro-American
students at JC and the administration,
faculty and other students and to
develop a better understanding in
reducing and overcoming the effects of
racism and discrimination,"
OAA plans to open lines of
communication with other colleges and
universities, thus helping members to
become move aware of blacks and their
involvement in the world.
Currently, OAA is conducting a drive
to aid the research of Sickle Cell Anemia,
a major disease among blacks today.
Project funds raised last year will be
added to this year's Sickle Cell money
and are to be contributed to the Howard
University Research Center, where a cure
for the disease is being sought.
To raise money for the "Sickle Cell
cause, OAA plans to sponsor dances after
basketball games, hold bake sales, and
prepare and serve dinners.
At the close of Wednesday's meeting.
President Jackson expressed her
personal feelings to members of theOAA
"Being black can only be beautiful if
you have something to give within that
will leave an impression for the best'
interests of the black race."

OAA Advisor Ms. Jackqueline Rouse [at right; confers with club's new officers.
The communication problem was
brought out in an editorial letter
published in the Beachcomber last week.
WRAP'S former Chief Engineer Ed
Hammond, who has been dismissed,
challenged former manager Carlos
Bank's assertion! that "there was smoke
all over in the WRAP studio" following
the amplifier blowout.
"There was absolutely no smoke, nor
did we have to "sniff around" to find out
what had happened," stated Hammond
in his editorial.
Another bone of contention concerns
where Banks was during the tesfing of
the amp, made September 2, a day prior
to WRAP'S scheduled debut.
Banks contends that to test the
equipment he put a record on, then left
the WRAP studio, next to the
Beachcomber office, and was in the
cafeteria when the amp blew.
Hammond, however, claims that Banks
was still in the studio adjusting sound
levels while he (Hammond) was at the
SAC Patio to listen to the stations' sound
out-put. ,
Hammond further said that "had
Carlos and the others been adequately
instructed and had the operating
instructions been readily available, the
whole problem might have been
averted."
Current WRAP Manager Dave
Drummond, appointed manager by SG
President Tory Buckley immediately
following Banks' September 12 resig-
nation, insists that the amplifier blowout
was "nobodys' fauU" and that Hammond
was dismissed for reasons other than the
amplifier squabble.
"The amplifier blowout was a
combination of human error and technical
things that no one could have realized,"
said Drummond.
Drummond informed the Beachcomber
Wednesday that Hammond's dismissal
followed the installation of the current
amp.
Three WRAP employees, Glenn
Powell, Dough Reich, and Hammond
installed the new amp so that Drummond
could determine which "had the most
time and interest for the job of WRAP
engineer.
"We found that whereas all three were
equally competent electronically, Reich
had the most spare time and Powell the
most interest in broadcast radio.
Therefore, we have named Reich and
Powell as WRAP'S co-technicians.
"I informed Ed (Hammond) that while
he is competent in ham radio and
electronics, the other candidates were
more directly involved with our mode of
communication," said Drummond
Now that the new amp has been
successfully installed, Drummond is
hoping to increase WRAP'S sound output
by fusing the old amp and the new Bogen
model into a parallel circuit.
Because the old amp must be repaired
before a parallel circuit can be completed,
and since WRAP'S warranty on, the
one-year-old amp is missing, Drummond
says "I'm for fixing it at a local repair
shop."
"If we can get that done we're
practically home free."

Gas Stations At War
Gas wars are backl No. the consumer won't be seeing gas prices
under 25 cents a gallon anymore, but he will be seeing the welcome

Increased gas supplies are bringing prices down and also
sparking the nation's scattered price wars.
In Pittsburgh, one dealer selling gas at 49.9 cents a gallon (some
. stations in Florida hae gone down to 48.9 and even lower) reported a
50 percent increase in business since he dropped his prices. His

lower prices for the consumer.

Questions Poll Validity
Due to the esteem held by many for public
opinion polls, and to the proliferation of these
polls, perhaps we should look more closely at
some of the methods used to arrive at the widely
trumpeted results.
Paul Harvey, noted conservative and
commentator, took a poll at one of his recent
appearances. Of 22 newspeople present, 20 were
for two against impeachment of tormer
President Nixon, a solid 10 to one for
impeachment. The several thousand people in
the audience were also polled, which resultea m
almost the same ratio, except reversed; 10 to one
against impeachment of the former president.
Our own local morning paper, which works tne
left side of the street, took a poll of its readers on
the same question (which Congressman Rogers
followed with great interest, we are told) and
their results were a two to one vote tor
impeachment. .. . ^i.
We may ask why the great difference m these
polls, both taken in good faith? The simple
answer is that the audiences of both are
psychologically selected. So what, then, is the
validity of these two polls?
The simple answer, zero. ^ -, ^ ^^
S.J. Putt
Mike's View
Election Reforms Needed
MikePiHero-
Lord knows "we the people"
here in good ole U.S. of A.
dearly need election reform if
we are to intelligently elect a
sound crop of representatives
able to lead us, post haste, to
the "path of human survival
from which we have regrettably
strayed.
Through election reform, we
can dig out, once and for awhile,
the political perennial weeds
(existing and potential) of our
nation and then therapeutically
cast them into the aggravated,
bounding, polluted seas that
misrepresentation creates.
There the weeds might absorb
the oils and toxics dumped
therein. Alas, a weed can come
to the aid of its country.
A recent Gallop Poll indicates
67% of those polled favor
government financing of federal
election - the banning of private
donations. I feel this is good,
except that private donations,
instead of being banned, should
be limited. We want to vote for
a candidate according to his or
her ability, not their public
relations extravaganza.
I favor election reform that
would make television debates
mandatory on both state and
federal levels.
In structuring televised de-
bates, dates and times should
be organized so that the mass
electorate will have ample
opportunity to methodically
BEACHCOMBER STAFF
view the candidats and decipher '
their stands, personalities and
overall qualifications for office.
This seems to elementarily
easy to accomplish. Why the
delay? We're waltzing on the
moon these days and dragging
our feet on earth.
When we begin to reform our
election policies along and
above lines, 1 know we'll be
taking a major step for mankind
right here on earth.
Let us never again elect
through ignorance those who
look at public office and think,
"What can my country do for
me?" Let's modernize our too
long held, out-dated electorial
process.

The new Crimhial Justice Building contains modern equipment such as this "Pro Lab"
enlarger. The students use it to make prints of mock crime scenes.
MURDER ON CAMPUS
By BRIAN CROWLEY
Asst. News Editor
A young woman is murdered
at Palm Beach Junior College.
It takes place in a kitchen and 50
men investigate.
The young woman is a
mannequin, the scene is the
criminal investigation room and
the investigators are students.
This will all be a part of the
Palm Beach County Criminal
Justice Institute, which recently
opened its new facilities on this
campus,
The new building contains a
mock courtroom, a photography
laboratory, crime scenes room,
and criminal investigation
laboratory.
The mock courtroom seats 50
students who will attempt to get
the feel of a trial. The room has
a judge's chair, jury box, and
attorney table. Its goal is to
instruct the student in what to
say and how to say it and
present yourself to a jury.
Criminal investigation is
taught with the aid of the crime
scenes room. These scenes are a
completely modern bedroom,
bathroom, and kitchen. With
the use of mannequins, reaUstic
crimes can be created and
giving student the opportunity
to investigate murders, suicides
and other criminal acts.
Crime Laboratory teaches
students the use of microscopes ,
how to mark and package
evidence, and in addition,
instruction in the operation of a
breathalyzer.
The new building has modern
classrooms with closed circuit
television, administrative off-
ices, and a conference room.
The building also has the largest
classroom on campus with a
seating capacity of 150
students.
There are three programs, the
law enforcement degree pro-
gram, the correctional degree
program, and a Security and
Loss prevention program.
Four times a year the Basic
Police Recruit Class is given.
All police officers in Palm Beach
County are required to attend
this class. Upon completion of
the basic course, police officers
are then eligible to attend a
complete line of career police
courses.
The institute offers job
placement with emphasis on
keeping as many graduates as
possible in Palm Beach County.

51 Percent'
CHILDREN MOLDED?
■J.MicheleNotter-
American children are, from birth, shoved into a mold and made
to fit regardless of their individuality. I am speaking of the way we
pressure little boys into being ■ agressive unemotional males and
pressure little girls into passive emotional females.
It is my contention that boys and girls are not given an equal
chance from the very start. During the succeeding weeks I will
present different cultures that have not been influenced by the
Tradition-bound Judeo-Christian ethic. There is an interesting
study of first through eighth grade readers that will also illustrate
my point.
The first tribe I was interested in were. the mountain-dwelling
Arapesh of New Guinea. The people live on a jagged infertile
mountain, and as a result, have formed a cooperative or communal
society. They can be described as a passive tribe - biolence and
selfisliness are incomprehensible to their way of life.
Their sole purpose inlife, other than the creature comforts, is to
raise their children into fully cooperating adults in the tribe. Both
parents share equally in this responsibility. The men, as well as the
women have been described as maternal.
At the birth of a child, the father brings the mother water to
drink, tree leaves for the child to sleep on. He also brings a wooden
pillow, used to protect his elaborate head dress, as he lays next to
the mother. The people say he is in bed having a baby.
The people believe that women's heads are stronger, so they have
the job of carrying firewood up the slopes to the villages. The
firewood is suspended in a net bag from their foreheads and can
weigh as much as 70 pounds.
The task of taking care of the children frequently falls to the men
while they are fixing a roof or planning the next cerraonial dance.
The children grow up learning that there is little emotional
difference between men and women. The men and women are
equally affectionate, responsive and unagressive.
TUTTLE'S OUTLOOK
By BRIAN CROWLEY
Asst. News Editor
"You cannot teach a technical
subject by standing up and
talking - you have to do!" is the
outlook of the Criminal Justice
Institute chairman Larry D.
Tuttle.
Tuttle brings to the institute
an enthusiastic appeal that is
magnetic "If you are enthusi-
astic about a subject it will catch
on. If you don't show
enthusiasm you're dead be-
cause who's going to listen?" he
says.
The goal of the institute is to
take young men and women
interested in law enforcement
and train him/her in the
systematic approach to justice.
This means that when a suspect
enters the systeiu he is either
guilty and will go through a
system of rehabilitation or he is
innocent and is freed some-
where along the line.
The importance of the
institute is probably best
expressed in the mock court
room where on the wall is a
small memorial to a former
classmate - a Riviera Beach
patrolman slain while on duty.
To The Widow
By FRANK SMITH
Staff Member
To The Widow. . .
A man stares coldly off in space,
lines of tears adorn his face,
He shows no pain, but there's a trace
of a smile on his blackened lips.
In his hand there rests a glass,
half filled, a deadly glass,
Of devils' juice for quick release,
he sold his life to buy his peace.
He wears a suit, the one he'd worn
so many years before,
and that demon thing', called a wedding ring,
is with him on the floor.
Light, from a window
falls on him as a shroud
And a cigarette, by his side,
emits a spiral cloud.
A man stares coldly off in space,
lines of tears adorn his face,
He shows no pain, but there's a trace
of a smile on his lips.
"Anonymity is perverse, and the weapon
of cowards."

Club Covers Sales And Marketing
By SUSAN KYTE
Staff Writer
Sheryl Grimm is the President
of JC's Sales and Marketing
Club. Their purpose is to train
and give a working knowledge
to people in the fields of
retailing, fashion merchandis-
ing and sales and marketing.
The club is open to all
interested students. The
meeting situation of this
organization is rather unusual.
It is a course available and listed
under the name of Retailing
Practicum. The class meets
every Tuesday and Thursday
between 9:30 and 10:40. All
interested people can sign up
for this class next semester.
Mr. Holzman and Mr.
Waddell are the club sponsors
and part of their devotion
towards the club is shown by
their attempting to find suitable
jobs for all club members.
Tlie Sales and Marketing
Club's other new officers are:
Bart Cunningham, Vice Presi-
dent: Louise Sudduth, Vice
President of Finance (treasu-
rer)' Vice President of
promotion, Marda Johnson
(Reporter;; Vice President of
planning (historian;), Phil
Padgett; Lew Musser, Vice
President of programming
(parlimentarian); and Janice
Forst, Vice President of
Administration (secretary)
There is also a total membership
of fifty-one persons.
This semester the club has
numerous activities planned.
To start with, is their October 30
Blood Drive and Sheryl wishes
that as many students as
possible would turn out and
make the drive a success.
Next in line is the Officer
Training Conference, October
18-20. Twenty students
including the officers from JC's
Sales and Marketing Club will
go to Orlando for seminars on
sales and marketing, retailing,
and fashion merchandising.
There will also be seminars
preparing the attendants for
upcoming competition in the
above mentioned field.
On November 2, the club will
present its fashion show for the
students and December will see
the club organizing a canned-
goods drive for the needy.
Speakers from different
community businesses address
the club members throughout
the month and the members
also have the responsibility ot
decorating the display windows
in the Business Administrations
Building each month.
There are many advantages to
joining this organization, such
as a DECA (Distributive
Education Clubs of America)
Scholarship Program offered
through the club, and the
chance to travel and compete on
the national level.
All new members are
welcome and anyone who joins
the Sales and Marketing Club
will receive three credits since
the club is organized around a
classroom-type situation.

Pisces: Another good week
commences with a proposition
you're not likely to reject (or an
offer you can't refuse). Trust
more to your impulses and
hunches than usual.
Aries: Some objectives are
going to be reached son, and
some might not Don't give up
what is truly significant, but pay
attention to other points of view.
Taurus: Remind yourself
frequently of important dates -
memory is likely to be somewhat
clouded this week. An overhead
conversation can be turned to
your advantage, but reveling
that you heard it could spoil
everything.
Gemini: According to your
plotted cycle, this should be, a
peak week for you. Succeeding
weeks will mark a slow
downward trend. Make plans
now and follow them through in
the next three weeks if possible.
Cancer: Moon-children have a
distinct tendency to jump to
conclusions, particularly right
now. Don't let a snap
judgement throw you. . .Think it
through before you decide on
action.
Leo: Someone you know well is
about to do something startling.
Be aware of this and don't
overreact.
Virgo: A thoughtles remark or a
joke could snowball into an
important engagement. Since
this week has a positive aspect
the result is likely to be
gratifying.
Libra: Music will play an
important part in this week's
events. It may be a concert you
attend, a tune you hum or an
instrument you play, but it can
be put to favorable use.
Scorpio: Risks you take are
almost certain to turn out

thought of as a friend does not
have your best interests m
mind. However, the post office
holds a good surprise for you.
Sagittarius: This week holds
promises and threats in every
direction. It is definitely not the
time to become involved
personally. Remain aloof. If
you're in a position to make
investments, do it now.
Capricorn: This will be a very
trying week, but things appear
more hopeful in coming months.
Try to keep away from any
endeavor which seems unlikely
to succeed. Be careful, you may
be accident-prone.
Aquarius: A new friend or

The first official meeting of
the Science Club began with the
election of officers. Of those
nominated, Dan Fried was
elected President: Jerry Long,
Vice-President, Thora Wilson,
Secretary; and Lenette Gnann,
Treasurer.
Thirty-one members have
joined the club, and according to
Mr. Gross, co-chairman, that
number is "unbelievable." In
years past ' the number of
members had not gone over 12
or 15 in the begining, and this
large number implies a good
interest in the club, said Gross.
The primary concern of the
recent Science Club meeting
was to discuss the first field trip.
The club decided to make a
primitive canoe run, starting
near the River Bend Trailer Park
and ending in Jonathan
Dickenson Park.
The run is 17 miles of mostly
virgin territory, opening up into
the river.

There's a cup being measured - it's not for to drink
It is fed to the plant at the giant Monk's feet
I am waiting and watching - he knows I am here

How many are undecided or
indefinite abouit the future?
How aware are we of
employment possibilities in
Palm Beach County? How many
of our "majors" have dropped,
switched, or become dissatis-
fied?
Today, in the United States
there exists a nearly infinite
number of careers and occu-
pations students can endeavor.
Whether pursuing an A. A. or an
A. A. degree.
While the guidance depart-
ment here at JC maintains a
vast file on vocational and
occupational subjects, the
Beachcomber staff realizes that
most students do not have the
time to make use of it.
i.For these students.varied
vocations will be explored in a
new column- - with aide and
suggestions from Donald Cook
of the Guidance Department.
These vocational studies will be
presented in a series of articles
on various occupational fields.
Since a statewide survey of
Junior college freshman indi-
cated 58% hoped to learn about
occupational fields available to
them upon graduation, Cook
suggestes that JC students be
made more aware of some of
these fields.
Cook also said a student
unsure of his interest in any
field, can take the Vocational
Interest exams. The exam is
helpful in judging a person's
interest in the vocation
concerned.
In the meantime, students
wanting more information on
any occupation, can see the

Brustein Window: New Play
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Entertainment Editor
Greenwich Village in New
York City is the scene for "The
Sign in. Sidney Brustein's
Window" which will be
presented November 7 - 10 at
8:14 p.m. in the JC auditorium.
The play centers around a
young Greenwich Village intell-
ectual, Sidney Brustein, his
wife, Iris Parodus, and their
friends.
Playwright Lorraine Hans-
berries, who also wrote "A
Raisin in the Sun*', revolves the
plot around the battle Sidney
and friends wage against the
powers that be when he decides
to support Wally O'Hara, a
reformed candidate.
Brustein's friends include a
27-year old black artist, Akton
Scales, and Mrs. Brustein's
sisters.
Many hard working hours
have gone into the production so
far, with auditions and try-outs.
"Theatre takes a great deal of
time," commented Francis
Leahy, director of the play.
Three weeks ago, 30 people
auditioned for the November
play. According to Leahy, the
two to three minute auditions
"gives the student experience
at this type of thing because
many are going into this
profession."
It also gave Art Musto, Lois
Meyer and Leahy, the directors
of the JC theatre, an
opportunity . to see tlie new
talent.
The theatre department puts
on three plays a year, one in
each term. Usually a variety of
plays are presented. Last year
the first production was a
musical "Mildred Wild" foll-
owed by a one act opera and a
one act play.

Sp
On
The
Run
By ROBIN PLITT
Sports Editor
There is an old adage that
says "long distance running is
mostly mental". The theory can
be disputed but nonetheless the
"psycheout" is gaining mo-
mentum.,
Telling a runner how sickly he
looks, how thin he is or how pale
his complexion seems is still one
of the favorite methods.
If this procedure is followed
carefully, the victimized runner
will fall with a thud at the sound
of the starting pistol. Later,
he'll complain of a myriad of
symptoms ranging from simple
nausea to appendicitis.
More medical mayhem occurs
when the star runner steps onto
the track supported by a pair of
crutches, drops them at the
sound of the gun, and proceeds
to run a sub-four-minute mile.
There is also the hungry
harrier who eats his "well done
with everything - hold the
mayo" while his compatriots get
indigestion.
There is a very strange
feeling that comes over you
when you are running along as
hard as you can and some clown
runs past you singing a song.
The classic psyche-out oc-
curred in a high school cross
country district race several
years ago.
Two members of the host
team decided to help their own
cause by making tombstones
which were engraved with the
names of the other schools.
These placards were placed in
an area of soft white sand about
200 yards long.
As the runners rounded a turn
into the sand they saw the name
of their school glaring at them
from the mock gravestone, they
bit the dust.
Many of them decided to
change their athletic pursuits to
something less strenous - like
knitting!!!

Harriers Lose
First Honne Run
By ROBIN PLITT
Sports Editor
The JC cross country team
placed third behind Miami Dade
South and Indian River in the
first annual JC Invitational meet
Sept. 21.
The meet was held at John
Prince Park.
Mike Higgins was the top
runner for the Pacers with a fifth
place finish behind three South
runners and one from Indian
River.
Higgins toured the four and
one-half-mile course in 23
minutes and 14 seconds.
Don Edgar was three
positions behind with an eighth
place finish of 23:47.
Ed Everett, his former
teammate from Broward CC,
ran to a 10th place finish with a
time of 24 minutes. ■
Ken Anderson finished fourth
for the Pacers and 13th overall
with a clocking of 24:29 just two
positions ahead of Mike Bell,
who finished up the scoring with
a 15th place and a time of 24:37.
Head coach Dick Melear said
he was pleased with the
showing of his harriers.
"I knew Dade South was gong
to be tough," said Melear.
"With all of the good people
that they have they are hard to
beat. I did think we were
going to -beat Indian River,
though," he said.
The Pacers will travel tc
Tallahassee Saturday for the
Florida State University Invitat-
ional to be held on the same
course as last year's state meet.
The main feature of the
Tallahassee course, located or.
the FSU golf course, is the
rolling hilly ground which the
runners must navigate.
Last year the JC cross country
team placed in the state meet.
Coach Melear hopes his team
will do much better than that on
the satne course Saturday.
' 'This year we have some very
talented people," said Melear.
"I'm sure we have the talent to
beat some people."

Plays Dade JC
By ROBIN PLITT
Sports Editor
The Pacer baseball team
opens its 1974 Fall season at 7
p.m. today at Miami Dade
North.
. Last year Dade North was one
of the best teams in the nation
receiving a fifth place rating in
overall hitting with a team
batting average of .335.
North used their overall
hitting strength to compile a
45-15 season record last spring.
Pat Putman tied for fifth in the
nation with a total of 11 home
runs in 58 games.
North scored a triple play by
taking first, third and fifth
places in runs batted in with Ed
Oliveros scoring 79 RBI's in 60
games, Putnam with 63 RBI's in
58 games, and Sam Cook with
58 RBI's in 587 games.
Craig Eaton wound up in
second place in the nation in
strikeouts with 131 strikeouts in
138 2/3 innings.
Dusty Rhodes, first-year
coach for the Pacers, feels'
optimistic about his team's
chances for the upcoming
season due to the depth and
experience he feels the team
will have.
"We have 12 boys returning
from last year," said Rhodes.
"This is more than any other
team in Division Four."
Rhodes will have 52 prospects
to work with during the fall, as
he attempts to cut the squad to
25 players before January.
"We have a lot of good
players who just walked out for
practice, " Rhodes said. "Some
of them may be able to take a
job away from some of the
scholarship players."
According to Rhodes, the
Miami schools won't be as
tough as they were last year.
"Dade North and Dade South
won't be where they were last
year," he said. "Both teams
lost a lot of players through
graduation."
Tonight's game is the first of
a 20-game schedule lasting
through October.
This week's schedule contin-
ues with an intrasquad game on
Wed. Oct. 2 at 4 p.m. and a
game against Indian River at
3:30 p.m. Oct. 4. Both games
will be played on the Pacers

side of the gym

Plays For Netters
By ROBIN PLITT
Sports Editor
Norman Russell may be just
what tennis coach Harris McGirt
is looking for to lead his net
squad this year.
Russell an 18-year-old fresh-
man from Kingston, Jamaica
was first exposed to tennis at
age 11 when he, his brother and
cousins were playing.
It was another four years
before he took to the game
seriously.
"When I was younger, I liked
tennis because of the travel,"
Russell said. "Now I realize
that it can also bring in a little
finance."
Russell began playing inter-
nationally, at IS when he
represented Jamaica in the
Caribbean circuit. The circuit
covers Trinidad, Gwana and
Jamaica.
"I didn't do too well," said
Russell. "I won the 16-year-oId
and under division in singles
and I competed with my
younger brother in the doii-
•bles."
Russell explained that tennis
players in his home country
qualify for competition in much
the same way as players from
the United States where local
tennis clubs compete in
international meets.

tennis players. His father
competed in the Junior
Wimbleton meet and the
Orange Bowl Tournament at a
young age, His younger
brother is also a very good
player, says Russell. "My
brother is a better tennis player
than I am."
But Russell feels he has more
- detemroation than his brother.
"I have the ability to fight
when I am behind in a game,"
It something brother doesn't do
as well.
This determination becomes a
valuable asset in tennis when a
combination of heat, potential
muscle cramps and exhaustion
attacks a player.
"Tennis can be almost like a
•game of chess," he said.
"When you have two people
with equal talent and condition-
ing, the game becomes more of
a mental struggle. Each player
tries to outsmart the other by
using his different strokes."
"You have certain strokes
that you can work with," he
said. ' 'But if you don't use the
. properly they won't be any
good."
Although he is most noted for
his tennis, Russell said he
enjoys all sports. He also plays
soccer, table tennis, squash and
gadminton, and swims.
"I like American football very
much," said Russell. "But that
is only to watch it on TV."
Another observation ■ Russell
has made since coming to the
country is our basic life style,
which he feels is more hectic
than in Jamaica.
"Sometimes I get the feeling
that nobody want to take the
time to care about anyone else,"
said Russell. "You are in such a
rat race and everyone has to
deal with his problems
himself."
"It is different here," said-
Russell. "You have so many
nice peole with so many
problems."

Injections Cure
Bone Condition
By CINDY COWEN
Staff Writer
A IS pound rooster "El
Macho" has given researchers
at Washington University a way
to combat a bone condition
thought to bring on Itidney
failure.
"El Macho" produces an
extremely sensitive antibody
which can be used to monitor
and control this bone disease.
Patients of this infection suffer
icidney failure and must depend
on dialysis machines to cleanse
their blood to survive.
However, these machines
often leave a deficiency of
calcium in patients' blood
making bones brittle, easily
broken.
Researchers at the University
found that roosters injected with
parathyroid hormones from
cows sometimes develop anti-
bodies that react to human
hormones, forming a method to
measure hormone content in
blood.
Researchers acknowlt dge a
deficiency of calcium i the
blood is indicated by an increase
in the amount of parathyroid
hormone.
"Of all the roosters we tested,
only one. "El Macho" produced
an antibody that was so
sensitive that it could be used
effectively," stated Dr. E.
Slatopolsky, director of the
dialysis unit at Barnes Hospital
in St. Louis.
Using "El Macho's" anti-
body, doctors can govern the
patients' diet or infuse calcium
directly into the blood during
use of the dialysis machine,
restoring the phosphorous
calcium blance in the blood-
stream. This arrests the bone
disease,
"Not only was the E! Macho
antibody at least 100 times more
sensitive to the parathyroid
hormone than the other
animal's bodies - but it turned
out that this rooster produces it
in such quantities that there is
enough to go around for every
patient on dialysis in the
world," Sr. Slatopolsky con-
cluded.

By GLYNNE HUGHES
Managing Editor
Richard Michau Smith, a member of the art department, has
many interesting anecdotes to tell, but none quite so extraordinary
as the top secret Project X-Ray.
In 1943 during World War II, when Smith, a Marine Corps pilot,
and head of a bombardier school in EI Centre, California, was
suddenly reassigned as executiv officer to the ultra-secret testing
unit.
Smith and nine other men from different branches of the service,
were assigned to test the highly fantastic idea of an eccentric
dentist, inventor, with evident government connections.
The inventor claimed to have taken his plan to the White House
where he first contacted Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt about his idea.
Mrs. Roosevelt woke the sleeping president, who after listening
to the idea, sent the inventor to the Pentagon to initiate tests.
The diabolical plan was to load bomb-like containers with
hundreds of bats, each with a timed incendiary capsule clipped to
their bellies.
The capsules, filled with napalm, would be set to ignite only after
the bats had reached the gound and had flown to cool, dark places.
The inventor reasoned that, when the "bomb" was dropped, a
series of related Rube Goldbert-type steps would be set into motion
causing thousands of fires, scattered over a vast range, making it
impossible for municipal fire department to fight.
Besides the potential great damage to a city, the fires, of
unknown orgin, would cause a great deal of anxiety and worried
speculation among the residents.
The primary mission of Project X-Ray (now unclassified), as
Smith explained was to test the ability of the bats to carry live
incendiary capsules.
And in order to accomplish this, some bats had to be captured
first, Smith said.
The men were sent to Carlsbad Caverns with huge butterfly nets
to collect the bats, put them in cages, and fly them to EI Centre,
where the Marines had erected a small building to house them.
The building recreated the exact cave temperature and
humidity, so the bats would survive for the testing. _ ;
"Bats, like bears, tend to hibernate when it's cold, so for a perioJj
of four to five months a year they're immobile," Smith stated. [
"We also learned, as an interesting fact, that during hibernaitosj
the bat's heart beats only about once a day," he added. ;
"We had to make sure, therefore, that we didn't capture ihemj
while they were in hibernation," Smith commented.
One of the owners wouldn't give up his guano rights, whitM
meant that some of the men on the project were assigned, ib[
addition to their other duties, to shovel the guano (bat manure usedj
for fertilizer) out of the cave for the rancher. i^
The caves were under 24-hour guard due to the top secret nmui
of the project. Smith said. ,{
"After about a week's work on the testing, most of us depioreo!
the whole idea, and thought it was a ridiculous, rather impracticsr
scheme that would be difficult if not impossible to carry out. f
remarked Smith. . r
"Most of our progress reports did little to encourage continuKj
testing on the project," the artist said. 5
Although the military men assigned to the project were sowrit t:;
secrecy, the inventor - dentist persisted in telling almost ever;
casual acquaintance about his "batty idea," declared Smith. ,
An admiral with a large entourage of VIP's was sent froc,
Washington to see how the project was developing after thru
months. i
Since the three manufacturers hadn't yet completed work (.'
portions of the project, the bomb containers and incendiary device!,
weren't ready, so the pilots in the group had to fly small planes ovf,
the desert, hand-tossing the bats into the planes slipstream. !
"The test wasn't very successful," Smith relates. :

Police Angered Over Patch
Confronted Student
Felt Threatened
Institute
Officials
Concerned
By BRIAN CROWLEY
Asst. News Editor
The confrontation between
four off-duty West Palm Beach
policemen and a student in the
cafeteria Wednesday was a
situation "We will do every-
thing we can to correct," said
Larry D. Tuttle, chairman of the
Criminal Justice Institute.
"Police officers who are
students do not have any
authority except as students.
The officers should have
notified security if they had a
complaint," said Tuttle.
The confrontation took place
when a student, Robert
Holland, was in the cafeteria
wearing a West Palm Beach
police patch on his knee. He
was approached by the pfficers
demanding that he remove his
patch. The officers did not
identify themselves as police-
men but according to Holland,
they told him the patch was
stolen and he could be arrested.
Holland said he received the
patch from his mother who
works for the WPB police as a
matron .
Tuttle called the incident
regrettable and regarded it as
the type of thing that gives
policemen a bad image, "Chief
William Barnes (WPB) will be
notified." said Tuttle.

SG Slices Budgets
By BRUCE MOORE
News Editor
Student Government's Exec-
utive Board sliced more than
$3,000 off the combined club
budgets at the Oct. 1 meeting.
Nearly all budget cuts were in
the area of entertainment,
dances, picnics, and parties. SG
President Tory Buckley insists
that SG is still funding social
activities, but money is not to be
allocated for an event unless
three or more clubs or
organizations make a combined
request.
The impact of the Executive
Board decision was felt mostly
by Phi Lo Sorority, whose
annual Arch Ballwas not given
any funds, though S500 was
requested for the event.
In-defending the budget cuts,
Buckley urged the "greater
representation of all groups on
campus" in social events "so
we're not running around in
cliques on campus."
President of Phi Lo, Karen
Linderson, generally agreed
with Buckley in theory, but
stressed that the Arch Ball was
an event that could "not do that
much to get the clubs
together."
Ms. Linderson said the Arch
Ball, a formal dance held late in
the Winter Term, is "not the
type of dance where you just go
out to meet people.
"However, we do keep it
open to the student body. Last
year, we had as many outsiders
as people in our dub at the
dance," she concluded.
The funds needed for the
Arch Ball, an annual event at JC
since the mid-1940's, were the
only monies requested by the
Phi-Lo Sorority.
With the club's original
requests listed in parentheses,
here are the budgets as
approved at the Executive
Board meeting October 2:
Circle K ($2,200) - - S2,000
Phi Da Di ($820) - -$50
Phi Lo (S575) - -$.00
Phi Theta Kappa (6,130.60 -

Robert Holland, wearing a West Palm Beach police department
shoulder patch on the knee of his jeans, was confronted by four
off-duty West Palm Beach policemen Wednesday. According to
Holland, they made him fear possible arrest if he did not
immediately remove his patch.
Witnesses stated that patrolmen Michael Kennedy, Michael
Pontieri, John Slattery, and Michael Cerbone, all students at the
Criminal Justice Institute, approached Holland in the cafeteria and
demanded that he remove his patch. They did not identify
themselves as police officers.
"I asked the officers if 1 could give the patch to them later so I
would not rip my pants trying to remove it. They told me they
wanted it 'Right now!' because it was stolen property and I could be
arrested. I felt if I didn't give them the patch they would try to
remove it themselves or else arrest me," said Holland.
The officers denied being belligerent and stated the encounter
was brief and friendly.
"The guy had a patch on that said 'City of West Palm Beach
Police.' It doesn't belong on his knee - -he was defacing city
property. We didn't approach him as police officers and we did not
threaten arrest," said Pontieri.
"Unless you are employed by the city of West Palm Beach or it is
given to you by the city, then it is not your property," he said.
Holland explained he told the policemen the patch was given to
him by his mother who is employed by the department as a matron.
According to Inspector Eaton of the West Palm Beach Police
Department, "Since his mother works as a matron and gave him the
patch, then he legally had the patch. From my understanding, the
officers, thinking the patch was stolen, had the right to do what thev
did."
During the confrontation, witnesses heard someone tell Holland
he could be arrested for stealing tlie patch. The officers deny
making the remark, Slattery said he believed it was a student
onlooker rather than a policemen.
Earlier reports stating one of the officers threatened Holland by
drawing his gun were not substantiated. Witnesses claim at no time
did anyone attempt to use a weapon.
"We asked him for the patch unofficially. We are here to be
educated. It just got out of proportion," said Kennedy.
Holland, whose mother and brother both work in law
enforcement, said he was wearing the patch to "just cover a hole. I
meant nothing disrespectful to the police."
Pontieri^ explained the officers felt "the patch did not belong on
his pants." He further stated they simply wanted to recover stolen
city property.
"If you possess property that is stolen, said Pontieri, "it is a
felony."

Humans Involved
In Election Mess
In a democracy, one of the most prized and important principles
we hold dear is the right to vote.
In the college - a community of the higher educated - it is of
special concern that this principle is respected and preserved. In
the September JC senatorial election (or fiasco), observers were
reminded of the mismanaged county primary elections. This
campus mess-up was not due to a computei problem- the fault lies
completely in human hands.
Even though a miniscule portion of the total student enrollment
bothered to vote (2%), it proved too much for the Secretary of
Election Marc J. Graham to cope with.
The Beachcomber dutifully publicized the lackluster carnpaign
which eventually produced 24 applicants for 24 senatorial positions.
From that point on, the election was in the hands of Student
Government.
Graham, in his report to the Executive Board Oct. 1, stated that
he had checked out the two voting machines for mechanical
difficulties when they arrived on campus Sept. 19. But on Sept. 24,
the second day of voting, the machine in the Business Patio broke
down and was closed to further use. No signs were put up to inform
students who frequent only that area of the campus of the other
polling place near the cafeteria.
Graham stated that he "was unaware that the constitution
required that an election be held each year." We simply cannot
believe that the Secretary of Elections could be ignorant of
constitutional rules concerning elections.
He also took it upon himself to declare the elections unnecessary"
after confering with several senators" , because only 24 candidates
participated. Because of this, voting machines were not set up at
the proper time, another violation of election rules.
Had Graham asked the advice of the Executive Board or its
advisor, Mr. Arnold Freedraan, he would have known the proper
steps to take. Careful supervision and overall guidance of the
elections by SG vice-president Dolor Ginchereau kept the elections
from total destruction by improper handling.
Graham also contends that elections should only be held on two
days and two nights, and that only one machine is necessary. We
couldn't disagree more. Inconvenience (for poll workers) is the
poorest reason for such a change we have ever heard.
If elections are to continue with any kind of meaning at JC, they
must be brought up from the playpen level. This must be done to
insure continued productivity by SG.
Students deserve a Secrtary of Elections who is able to do the job,
and do it properly. Perhaps the office should become elective,
rather than appointive as it is now.
Whatever the case, the first act of the Senate when it meets
should be to set up a special committee to investigate this foul-up
and make needed changes; steps should also be taken to revise the
election rules. Uncontested elections are truly exercises m futility.
Clear Mandate Gone
As_ we stressed last week, the importance of the School Boatd-
elections held Oct. 2 was such that it should have rated placement
on either the September or November ballots. Unfortunately, since
only 16 per cent of the registered voters made it to the polls, the
results are not truly representative.
Case in point is the election of Bradley T. Coates over incumbent
C. Enrol Hicks, Coates won the election by a 285 vote margin, a
mere 1.3 per cent. Perhaps the result would have been the same if
more people voted. But this is not the point.
The point is that in as important an election as this one was, the
outcome was decided on the votes of a few. Such a choice is the
child of apathetic voters.
We do hope that Dr. Coates becomes a influential force on the
board. We also hope that Dr. Hicks will continue serving the public
as well as he has in the past thank him for a job well done over these
past four years.

Reverberations
Advisor Of f ers Side
Editor:
Your "editor's note" on page one of today's
(September 30) issue is inaccurate, misleading
and libelous.
Dolor Ginchereau could not give the results of
the elections for the senators as he did not have
the final totals at the time promised.
The student body has the right to know the .
results: but, if the final tabulations are not
available by the time the paper goes to press, it
would be a disservice to give approximate
results.
As far as the Beachcomber's "repeated
attempts to obtain the information", your
reporter was told to contact the Secretary of
Elections. He called me at my home Friday
night, but I did not have the information he
sought. He was told to contact the Secretary of
Elections by me; but evidentally he expects news
items to jump out at him, rather than seek
information from the correct source.
Your remark that you have received
"absolutely no cooperation from SG" is
inaccurate, irresponsible and immature. You
owe Mr. Ginchereau an apology; and I suggest
you assign intelligent, energetic students to your
reportorial tasks.

Senate Clarifications Noted
Editors
Please accept my congratu-
lations for your Winter '74
rating of excellent as well as for
your efforts to include faculty
news.
However, in the interest of
accuracy,' may I call your
attention to three errors;
"Senators Concur" -
I. "effectively prevents
Vignau from BECOMING chair-
man" should have been "from
SUCCEEDING to the chairman-
ship."
2. "four persons were
nominated" should have been
"four persons accepted the
nomination." Mr. Leroy
Robbins declined the nomina-
tion as did I.
"Trustees Select Campus
Planner"
Rather than the pension laws
being discriminatory "to 102 JC
teachers now under Social
Security," the law is discrimin-
atory toward those 102 who are
NOT on Social Security and who
may choose to remain on their
present retuement plans.

Heidfmon Report Criticized
Editor:
The complete exoneration of
Sheriff William Heidtman
appears to me to be a slap in the
face of all honest citizens
everywhere. The investigation
was glossed over and only a
partial report was given to the
press.
The people of the county
should be given a chance to
examine the complete record of
the investigation to determine
whether or not it (the
investigation) was handled
properly.
I believe that certain areas
were treated with kid gloves.
Too much has been going on
that hasn't been fully explained.
One of the majojr goals of the
citizens of this county should be
to give Mr. Heidtman some
opposition when he is up for
re-election. I . would vote for
Heidtman if it came between
him and some unqualified man.
That shouldn't be the case.
Admittedly, Heidtman does
enforce the law. However, the
way he goes about it and his
attitude is one that the voters
should not have to tolerate. His
insolent behavior towards the
county commission as well as
his famous statement, "I don't
have to tell them (the public)
what I spend my money on,"
shows that he is better suited to
be a Claude Kirk crony rather
than a public official.

Gals Aggressive?
"J. M/che/eNoffer-
There are two other tribes of New Guinea who have socialized
their children into entirely different roles. These tribes display
what we don't usually consider normal behavior for males and
females, and they also differ from the passive Arapesh that I
presented in my last column. One tribe, and all its members, is
extremely aggressive. In the other tribe, the men are passive and
the women agressive.
The Mundugumor people were once cannibals. All members of
the society are raised in the belief that both men and women are
violent, aggressive, jealous and independant.
The children are treated as interlopers, more mouths to feed and
more competition. They are weaned abruptly and get a minimum
amount of attention paid to all their needs.
The females have a slightly less stressful life than the males since
they are allowed to develop slight fi-iendships with other females.
This is encouraged because one they they will have to live with their
husband's other wives. Between the men, however, there is only
suspicion and constant competition for new wives or mote riches.
The society I found most interesting was the Tchambuli society.
It is the exact reverse of our society. The men are violent vain and
erratic. The women are strong, dominant and aggressive.
Efficient and unadorned, the women do most of the work in the
village. They cook, plait and mend their fishing gear. Their activity
has an air of firm cooperation to it. At dawn, they take out canoes to
fish, when the temperature rises they return to the village to
perform other chores.
In contrast, the men sit in their ceremonial houses all day,
planning the next feast, doing ceremonial tasks, cutting new thatch
or plaiting masks for the dances. The men curl their hair, and
concern themselve almost exclusively with the refinements of their
dress.
The children are given plenty of affection until the age of six or
seven, the boys and girls have been treated exactly the same.
However, at this time, the girls are introduced to the
responsibilities of females. The boys do not start any training in the
male role but are left on the fringes of their society. In the following
three or four year period the boys feel a sense of neglect and
purpose. They become typical Tchambuli men, quick to hurt and
often become hysterical.
In the three societies I have mentioned, there are a variety of role
models for men and women. The people of the Arapesh tribe are
maternal by our standards, they are cooperative unaggressive and
responsive to the needs of others.
In contrast, the Mundugumor men and women are ruthless,
aggressive and put maternal cherishing at a minimum. The
Tchambuli society has a complete reversal of our culture with the
women being the dominant impersonal managing partner and the
men the less responsible and emotionally dependent persons.
Next week I will present a study of first through eighth grade
readers, showing what effects they have in socializing our children
into stereo-typed male/female roles.

Pisces: Stability marks this week. Events- are fixed in a
harmonious, familiar pattern that should persist for the greater part
of October. Don't hesitate to call attention to yourself.
Aries: You'resensitive to subtle messages. An apparent opponent
is really on your side, and you take happy advantage of his. Keep
track of promises made in the past.
Taurus: Personalplans are likely to be cancelled; better ones will
take their place. Keep an eye on scholastic work. It Could get
beyond you.
Gemini: In an argument you will finally prove something you've
been contending for weeks. Don't let triumph carry you away,
though; those who disagree with you are not content.
Cancer: You are prone to accidents or illness during a short period.
Take particular care of your body.
Leo: Those you count on for help seem to have a roundabout way of
getting things done. Foul play is suspected. Stick to your own ideas
and opinions.
Virgo: With several crises out of the way, you look about for
something new. Be sure that it has some relation to the past.
Experience in dealing with people will be helpful.
Libra: A formerly passive person shows signs of becoming
emotionally involved with you. Success depends on how you handle

Scorpio: A good deal of flack seems to be coming your way.
Relations with the opposite sex are subject to strain that may not

Sagittarious: Everying is changing. Your reactions should be
flexible. Deep depression (or great elation) will do you harm and
should not be indulged in.
Capricorn: Facing facts is essential this week. You may be seeing

Aquarius: You arejed astray by an authority figure or an influential
contemporary. The results will not appear for a while, but when
they do, they will involve money, friends and possibly the law.

Signs Signal Society's Views
By GLYNNE HUGHES
Managing Editor
If you ride long enough on
U. S. 75 you're in for a real treat:
you arrive in Disney World.
You are, in fact, catapulted from
the smooth, shiny four-lane
Brevard County highway right
into deserted western Mel-
bourne which is a narrow,
bumpy, straight two-lane trail
that poses as a state highway.
And to further the fun, a few
dozen huge trucks are coming at
you. As I tried to make my way
along Osceola County's path,
each and every quarter mile
brought a whole new fleet of
smoke belching monsters, all
bearing down on me at full
speed arid blowing my bicycle
into the ditch as they reared by.
It was in this manner that I
continued my journey, quiver-
ing every time I approached a
fleet of truct monsters and
occasionally looking over my
shoulder and pack sack to see
my companions' hair grow
white. Then I saw the sign. If I
had been scared before, I was
terrified. Posted to a tree at the
side of the road, neatly printed
in big black letters on white
signboard, were the prophetic
words: PREPARE YOURSELF
TO ENCOUNTER THY GOD!
"Oh My God," I yelled, "I
mean, what kind of highway am
I on?" I immediately pulled off
the road into an area very
common on this highway, a cow
pasture. I then came to a full
stop, got off and crawled under
a nearby bush. I lay there
peering fearfully out at the road
for almost three hours before I
realized that the sign didn't
necessarily have any connect-
ions with the highway and
dangerous traffic. It was merely
a sign put up anonymously by
some unidentified group that
merely scared the HELL out of
Mike's View«
Voting Essential
Mike Piliero-
There are so many things to do in life - why should one have to
spend time reading and staying up with the news?
Politics is coming out of every nook and cranny. Even if we
weren't tired and frustrated with political ploys, there are many
other reasons that justify one's inattention to the news.
Like any combination of making a living, keeping up with our
studies, our boyfriends, girlfriends, children, lovers, shopping,
jogging, outings and you name it.
These are essential activities. They are necessary for our well
being, and they could well consume all our time.
But, if we wish to seek our own goals, choose our individual ways,
and make the world liveable for present and future generations then
we must, what? In 25 words or less.
We must tackle the neglected responsibility of concerning
ourselves with the men, women and social events that shape and'
control our destiny.
History has exposed the horrible events that take place when a
country's citizens become unconcerned or lose hope on issues of the
day.
Can we afford to be unconcerned or just give up? Is America
strong enough to get by without our voice? That's funny because
America has gotten by with vote apathy in the past. But that's
because we have been lucky. Believe me, purely lucky.
The Romans, at one time, were lucky, too. . .until the fall.

me.
I didn't think that was fair.
Youknow, I suppose it's okay to
clutter up the side of the
highway with signs and
billboards advertising one thing
or another, as long as it's an
endorsed product. If it's signed
by some manufacturing com-
pany or religious organization,
at least you know it's an
advertisement and you know
who is to blame for it.
But to just put anonymous
warning out there on the side of
the highway, and leave them
without any kind of signature to
show whether or not the sign is
an official statement or just
another ad, is somewhat
unethical.
First of all, the American
people have a right to know who
is to blame for the various
slogans strewn all over. That
way if they disagree with the
slogan, they can satisfy their
beliefs and ease their con-
science by saying, "Spit Wash
Deodorant can go straight to
hell!" or something to that
extent.
Then, if people don't like the
ad, they can get mad at the
Spit Wash Deodorant Company,
whereas, if people put signs up
that just said: DEODORIZE
STINKERl, then people would
most likely just get all insulted
and have no place to vent their
wrath. Everyone in the world
would stink and the chairman of
the board of Spit Wash would
kill herself.
Another reason for discou-
raging unendorsed signs is
simply this - equal time. If some
anonymous religious group can
put up signs saying: PREPARE
YOURSELF TO ENCOUNTER
THY GOD!, then atheists
should have every right to tack
up signs saying: WHEN
YOU'RE GONE YOU'RE
GONE!.
Also, if we're going to allow
people to just go around
irresponsibly putting up signs
that shake the hell out of you,
there's no telling what the result
might be. Could you imagine
riding down the highway seeing
a sign of an anonymous
Democrat saying: MOSCOW
WOULD HAVE JAILED NIXQN.
And there's always the
oddball political group saying:
VOTE GEORGE WALLACE
FOR PRESIDENT.
The Florida State Education
people would leap into the act
with billboards stating: IF YOU

Hicks Loses -HendrixWins
JC instructor Dr. C. Errol Hicks, District 4 incumb-
ent candidate for the school board, was defeated by a
very small margin last Tuesday by Dr. Bradley Coates.
Hicks said the loss was a disappointment but he still
is willing to aid the board in any way possible. Losing
was "a bitter pill to take because of the small voter
turnout" according to Hicks, but he accepted his defeat
very open-mindedly.
"The problem seemed to be the small turnout."
Hicks felt if more people had voted it would have been
to his advantage since he had already served on the
board for the past four years.'
After the defeat "you think of all the little things,"
said Hicks. "These are the things that could have
affected the results." His main problem in
campiagning was financial.
Hicks is still a member of the school board for six
more weeks. Even after his term is ended, Hicks stated
that he would be more than willing to work on an
advisory committee to the board, or with them in any
other way possible. For his remaining time as a
member of the school board, Hicks would like to see the
board work towards solving the problem of over
crowded schools.
The incumbent candidate for District 2 was Daniel
Hendrix, also a JC instructor. His reelection was by a
large margin oyer his opponent.
According to Hendrix, the results prove that "the
county has come of'age and they are in tune to the
youth movement, the brotherhood of man and love for
one another."
The main factors for his reelection, according to
Hendrix, were the record of his past four years on the
school board, that people had faith in him and worked
hard for him, and also the endorsements of the
newspapers. Hendrix also felt that the voters "elect
people who are farsighted enough to work on
progressive ideas."
During his next four years on the school board,
Hendrix would like to work towards having the .
curriculum made more relevant in that it should meet
the needs of all students. He would also like to see the
Palm Beach County School System become one of the
best in the country.
A STUDY OF MANY OF THE Palm Beach County
Schools and their disciplinary habits will be a very
important part of Mr. Hendrix's next four years on the
school board. He feels that better rapport should be
established between the student and the teacher.

polls, broken-down voting
machines, and charges between
the Beachcomber and Student
Government highlighted a
chaotic week in which 24
senatorial candidates reached
their positions unopposed.
Senate elections were sche-
dules for Sept. 23, 24 and 15,
Machines were to be set up at
the Busines Patio and outside
the cafeteria.
On Friday, Sept, 20^
Secretary of Elections Mate J.
Graham learned that two of the
26 candidates had withdrawn
from the race.
According to Graham, "At
this time I was unaware that the
constitution required that an
election be held each year.
These new developments (the
withdrawals) caused me to
decide that an election was
unnecessary."
Graham said he had conferred
with several senate candidates
before making the decision. He
did not discuss this move in
detail with SG President Tory
Buckley, the executive board, or
the SG advisor, Mr. Arnold
Freedman.
Later in the weekend high
executive board officers decided
to go ahead with the election,
but were unable to contact
Graham, so that he (Graham)
could inform poll workers and
candidates that the election was
to be held.
SG Vice-President Dolor
Ginchereau, in the abserise of
Graham, supervised the setting
up of a voting machine near the
cafeteria late Monday morning.
Graham explained that
"when I got to SG executive
offices, Buckley asked me to set
up the remaining voting
machines. I did' this with the
help of Mr. (Dave) Drummond,
(manager) of WRAP."
Election rules state that if
there is a time change in the
voting, "notification of said
change will be made known at
the polling booths by poster."

However, no such posters, were
used by the S.G.A. election
chief.
During the elections poll
workers were cajoling students
into voting. According to
political expert Mr. Edwin
Pugh, a Social Science instruc-
tor and advisor to JC's Political
Union club, the cajoling was a
form of "politicing by suppor-
ters," which is prohibited by SG
election rules.
On several occasions thro-
ughout the three days and
nights of voting the polls were
manned by only one student.
Beachcomber photographs ver-
ify that in one instance a poll
worker was in a voting booth
without anyone else around to
man the registration table.
The poll worker, in this
instance, could have voted for
certain candidates again and
again without being discovered.
-IMPli*
Tuesday, the election mach-
ine in the Business Patio "broke
down and we were forced to
close it down," said Graham.
No signs were posted to
inform the students that they
could vote at a booth near the
cafeteria.
Graham's scratching of the
withdrawn candidates' names,
as was shown in a Beachcomber
photograph last week, should
not have been allowed,
according to Pugh.
Throughout the election,
students could vote without
showing JC identification cards.
Though it is an improbability a
person not enrolled at JC could
have voted using the name of a
JC student.
The only act one had to
perform before voting was to
state his name and the poll
worker would cross the name off
Social Science instructor Mr. Edwm
on the master student list.
The results of the election did
not appear in the last issue of
the Beachcomber, though they
had been finalized at least one
day prior to press time, which
was Thursday night September
26.
In an effort to obtain the
results, which were promised
earlier in the election week by
Ginchereau, the Beachcomber
contacted Ginchereau, Buckley
and Freedman Thursday after-
noon.
Earlier Thursday Ginchereau
was reminded that the results
were needed that night.
However, as of 5 p.m. no action
had been taken by Ginchereau.
A Beachcomber reporter
made several unsuccessful
attempts to contact Graham by
phone. The SG Secretary
Constance Holmes, and Freed-,
man were also contacted.
At approximately 10 p.m.
Thursday, Holmes and Ginc-
hereau arrived at the Beach-
comber office.
Again they were asked for the
results, but the executive board
officers explained that Graham
was the only SG officer having
the total.
In the September 30 issue of
the "Beachcomber" an editor's
note appeared above the SG

election article ' stating that
"Ginchereau did not meet his
obligation" to give over the
results to the "Beachcomber."
It should be clarified that
while Ginchereau stated that he
would get the results of the
election, the editor's note stated
that it was his "obligation."
The notice should have stated
only that he agreed to do this.
Last week, following publi-
cation of the election article
"2% Bother to Vote," the
'Comber received a letter-to-
the editor from SG Advisor
Freedman. In response to that
letter. Beachcomber Editor
Marc Bressler replied in a
return letter to Freedman that
his (Freedman's) letter was "an
insult and affront to the
integrity and honesty of my staff
and editors."
Tuesday, Freedman asked
Bressler not to print the letter
he (Freedman) had written
because it would serve no
purpose and would cause a
breach on the relations between
the press and S.G.
However, in a surprise move,
Freedman discussed these
matters openly at the regular SG
Senate meeting Thursday.
Because Freedman choose to
air his views publicly, the
editors felt his letter should be
used. The letter appears on
page two of todays issue.
Another angle to the elections
that surfaced was that the
election results received by the
Beachcomber Friday, Sept. 27
was the only copy available.
Had the Beachcomber, in the
flurry of-a TliurVday press night
(when the paper is ccrpleted),
lost the results, officir Student
Government records may have
never told of what was surely
one of the most mismanaged
elections in SG history.
Battle Of The Burgers
By BRUCE MOORE
News Editor
The greasiest fight of the
century took place in the
Beaclicomber office last week.
This was a battle that JC
students had asked for _ over
several years though they did
not know which corner to root
for.
A squadron of burger-mo-
biles were seen flying south
above Congress Avenue toward
the college. Hovering over a
clear area outside the- Beach-
comber office, they formed into
a giant "M" and proceeded to
land and escort their leader,
Ronald McDonald, ' into ~ the
office.
Soon following was Jay

Faith Heolers
Now Organized
By DEBBIE THOMPSON
Staff Writer
The Christian Science Organ-
ization of JC invites you to a
"helpful, worthwhile exper-
ience" each Tuesday in room
TE 22 in an effort to help in
understanding the Christian
Scientists way of life.
The organization, under the
guidance of Mrs. Marcia Saile
and Patrick Archer, meets from
12:30 to 1:00 weekly and follows '
the usual Christian Science
worship format. Beginning with
a hymn, Bible readings and
selections from the Christian
Science textbook, and prayer,
the service concludes with
personal testamonials and
reference healings.
According to Archer, Christ-
ian Scientists have no "special
pipeline to God."
He explains that even though
Christian Scientists can prove
their healings, it is just a matter
of destroying fear, which is the
basis of disease. When fear is
abolished through the realiza-
tion of truth, the foundation is
broken down at which time the
healing takes place. The main
doctrine of the Christian Science
religion, therefore, is man, God,
and their relationship to one
another.
"The purpose of the
organization," Archer conclu-
ded "is also to benefit the
campus through prayer. We
invite everyone to share in our
cause."

Lentil Soup Delight
By SHARON OSBURN
Staff Writer
Snow, wind, and casserole.
Winter's traditional supper
can become Florida's newest
attraction on any picnic table.
Ranch Style Lentil Casserole
is ideal for picnics because it can
be made in advance and stored
in the freezer waiting for any
occasion in the sun.
Lentils are high in protein and
low in fat. They store well,
especially if kept in a tightly
closed container where they can
keep for many months.' Then in
only 30 minutes, they are
cooked to tenderness.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Marketing Service
advises to watch for these signs
of good lentils when buying:
Lentis should have a bright,
uniform color, generally green-
ish-brown. Loss of color
indicates long storage and lack of
freshrifess. This doesn't affect
taste, but means longer
cooking.
Lentils should be of uniform
size, to make an even cooking
time.
Watch for visible defects like
foreign material and pinholes
caused by insect damage. The
indicates low quality.
To cook, place two cups of
lentils in a heavy sauce pan and
add five cups of cold or warn
water and two teaspoons of salt.
Bring to boiling point, reduce
heat, cover tightly and boil
gently for 30 minutes. Yield;
about four cups of cooked
lentils.

MacLees relied on good

With Round Three given to

margin, the final totals showed
MacLees winning the fight by a
two to one margin.
When the fight's outcome
became official, McDonald's
boxing manager Big Mac, and
Ronald's trainer, the Hamburg-
lar exchanged some harsh
words. Mac blamed Hamburg-
lar for resting the meat 10
minutes before the first round,
allowing the beef to become cool
and ineffective.
"Well then, next time I'll
steal some meat from the

replied.
Meanwhile, Jay MacLees was
seen running back to the

because of the win, but because
a rare night-time customer was
ready to order something.
"Could I have 14 billion large

FEATURE EDITOR
With a contagious chuckle, Ray Bolger talked of his acting life :
and reminiscences on Sept. 27 in the JC auditorium.
"The most wonderful thing in the world is a memory" he stated, ;
and keeping that in mind, Ray Bolger has given this world a lot of
wonderful things. . ;
In his presentation to a standing room only audience, he recited ,
his impressions of "Ray Bolgers' World" an amusing j"
auto-biographica]-! sketch complete with dancing and singing. |
Starting as atwo-bit actor in the smallest towns of the U.S. Bolgef |:
worked his way up to Broadway and then to the movies. He is best s
remembered for his role as the scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz". ;
' 'The Wizard of Oz' ' is an American classic. My mother gave me i
the books when I was small" remembers Bolger. ;
He watches the movie every year and feels honored to have
played a part in a film that will be re-run many years after he is ^
gone. "It is profitable for ones' ego to be remembered," Bolget i
laughed. !
In recent years Bolger has been busy performing one-man shows [
all over the U.S. and also doing a bit of professional writing. '
As an example of this he read a tribute that he wrote for a
magazine about the late Judy Garland. In simple and toudiitii ;
terms he spoke of a woman few really knew - a woman full of private ;
thoughts and emotions she didn't show on stage.
Bolger is in top physical shape at 70 and can still kick over his }
head. Demonstrating some soft shoe dancing for the audience, tie :
stressed his belief that "people my age are not necessarily dead;
from the feet up." ;
Although his emphasis is aimed toward activating the oidei-
generation, Bolger beUeves "There's an optimism for the future. .
.the young people of today are the important thing."
At the end of his performance, Bolger drew two standmg ovations
from the audience. He responded to these by appearing once moK
on stage and leading the audience in smging his themie song "Once
In Love With Amy".
"I'm a performer and I belong to you. My world is your world,"
Bolger concluded. "Ray Bolgers' World" has become a part of out
world and with no regrets on our part.
With a dramatic gesture Bolger brings back memories of "April in
Paris". "It was a fan show to do." he reflected.

(FCMEA) in the Oct. II and 12
workshop at the University of
Florida.
The Pacesetters were asked to
attend by the State President of
the Student MENC, and will be
performing for up to 45 minutes.
The group performed with five
other groups attending last

and were so impressive they
were asked to return as this
year's only vocal group to
perform. Also on the program is
the University of Miami Brass

According to Ms. Johnson,
"It is an interesting thing to
attend any convention, but it is
an honor for us to have been
asked to sing."'
The workshop combines both
instructors and students to
discuss careers in the field of
music. All members of the

_ Trivia; Who is the best
organist in America? According
to Donna Anderson "Estlier
Smith is the best."
Ms. Anderson is one of the
busiest, most versatile and
upcoming organists in the Palm
Beaches.
A JC Sophomore Ms.
Anderson is known to the music
department and her friend as
"Ronnie" Anderson.
The attractive brunette is a
music major, and also sings alto'
in the Pacesetters. Yet, her
most cherished reponsibility is
representing the Hammond
Organ Company at Hale Piano
and Organ, Inc. in West Palm
Beach.
"Teaching takes most of my
time," says Ms. Anderson who
teaches approximately 33 stu-
dents privately one-half hour a
week. She has been teaching
for several years and now
teaches beginning piano and
advanced organ. One student
takes a lesson through the mail.
Ms. Anderson explained she
and her sister used to play as a
duet in Long Island, N.Y. She is
currently taking lessons on tape
as preparation to renew that
duet group in December.
"It will be our first gig
together in two years," Ms.
Anderson said.
Most students being their
lessons on piano early. Not
Donna, who is quite different.
"I never had a piano lesson in
my life until I came here (JC)."

that's about as far as nostalgia
goes.
The time period may be of the
current era for nostalgia but
"Buster and Billie" is a high
school love story of a different
kind.
The atmosphere is the late
forties and setting in the small
southern farming community is
merely used in creating
innocence and opportunity for
the stories' characters.
Buster is Mr, Everything in
high school and has his pick of
the girls. Buster and any local
beautiful hard to get socially
acceptable girl seem to make
the perfect couple. But Buster
feels something is lacking.
The new girl in town is Billie.
She is quiet, shy and poor. Her
home life is tumultous at best.
She lacks a formal education.
These problems leave her with a
grim outlook on life. To
complicate matters, a gang of
drunken classmates lias "group
sex", in the loosest form of the
word, every now and then with
her. Apparently this is her only
way to become accepted.

Stage Aid
Needed For
New Drama
By BECKY MORSE
Staff Writer
Technical stage hands are
being sought by the Drama
department, according to Fran-
cis Leahy, director of "The Sign
in Sidney Brustein's Window."
Art* Musto, technical director,
needs help with lighting, props,
construction, sound, painting,
costumes, and makeup.
The setting of the play is a
typical Greenwich Village a-
partment in New York City, '
which demands a Bohemian
artistic atmosphere. Mr. Leahy
requests that any student
wishing to contirbute props
should contact him or Mr.
Musto. Construction of the
platform and supporting fur-
nishings is now in progress,
Mr. Musto asks any
students interested in the
technical aspects of the play to
please contact him in his office
in the Auditorium.

probably react with: COLLEGE

Around PBJC there would be
signs saying: GIVE THE

The thing we must absolutely
do is to seek out and destroy all

Games Rained Out
By ROBIN PLITT
Sports Editor
The baseball team once again
opens its fall schedule with a
game against Broward at 3:30
p.m. on FridaV, Oct. 11.
Last week the Pacers were to
open against Miami Dade North
but Mother -Nature had other
ideas.
The opener was cancelled due
to rain and gusty winds' which
continued well into the week
playing havoc with the baseball
schedule.
Coach Dusty Rhodes was
disappointed at the turn of
events because it delayed his
plans for almost a full week.
"I really wanted to have the
— On The Run
game at Dade North," said
Rhodes. "I think it would have
given me a chance to see a lot of
these boys in a game situation."
The bad weather delayed
Rhodes', plans to make the first
cut from his list of 52 hopefuls.
"I wanted to get the ehance to
se- some of my' players in action
before I made the cut," Rhodes
explained.
According to' Rhodes there
are several good prospects
among his charges and deciding
which ones to keep on the roster
will be a difficult task.
The final cut will ha^^e to wait
until Rhodes feels he has seen
enough of his prospects' play to
make a fair decision.

Nothing equals the
chilling sense of fear that grips
the body of a cross country
runner at the sound of a growl or
the sight of a large dog.
This sensation is stini'ilated
because dogs like to hase
moving objects and distance
runners like to run from
anything.
When a runner is confronted
by a dog, he is faced with the
choice of running a world record
in the 440 or standing his
ground to the dog with the hope
that he isn't invited to lunch.

world are losing their imagin-
ation.
One runner who lived in a
suburban community solved his
puppy problems by carrying a
bag of dog biscuits on his daily
workouts. He would throw a
treat to each of the 34 dogs in
his neighborhood every morning
on his training jaunts.
One morning he started his
running without breakfast and
his sense of protection was
outdone by his growing hunger.
He didn't run for two weeks -
something to do with a missing
heel.
A bicycle path in John Prince
Park in Lake Worth is where
many local runners do their
distance training.
This path is also frequented
by condominium residents who
have nowhere else to walk their
dogs.
These two factors combine to
give some runners a form of
paranoia which results in a
nervous reaction to anything
that barks.
This is the explanation for
many a jogger who is seen
fleeing in utter terror from the
"attack" of some little old
lady's toy poodle.

Depending on your class load,
tuition fees may be higher or
lower beginning with the Fall
term of 1975. A State
Department regulation has gone
into effect that will implement a
new basis for tuition fees for
community colleges. Students
will be charged on a per hour
basis, with an $11 per credit
hour fee to be put into effect.
Matriculation fees will be set
at the $11 maximum allowed by
the state in the new regulation
These fees are to include the
student activity fees.

JC President Dr. Harold G.
Manor stated Thursday he is
initiating discussions with
Physical Plant Director Claude

JC's clock system to proper
working order.
Manor's announcement came
less than an hour after the
Student -Government Senate
passed a resolution, 20 - 0,

of clocks on campus.
Senator Dave Upshaw com-
mented that SG is "asking Dr.

Max Allee and Kenan Foley must face

department chairmen, were unable to

The run-off was a The election will be

"There wasn't enough money
at the time to construct a system
that eventually would take care
of the school's ultimate size."
The administration has at-
tempted to get JC's clocks in
proper working order in the
past. However, repair has been
difficult because JC is operating
under three separate clock
systems.
SG Vice-President Dolor
Ginchereau, who also serves as
Senate President, commented,
"I hope the resolution that was
passed today solves the
problem. The way the report
was given today it seems like a
very complicated matter for
maintenance to go ahead and
make these adjustments."
Manor agreed that "it's just a
very complex problem. We do
not have enough manpower to
go around and repair clocks
constantly. We are interested
and we want to do the best job
with it.
"I think this is a problem

year, the $11 figure was arrived
at.
The changes will be noticed
by students with all size class
loads. Those who carry 18
hours, for example, are now-
paying $129.50. Under the new
regulation, the cost will rise to
$198. Part-time students will
benefit from this change, Night
students taking a four hour
credit course are now paying a
fee of .$72. Under the new
system, this would be reduced
to $44, a substantial decrease.
Manor anticipates a reduction
in monies available for the
budget next year, and attributes
it to part-time students. Having
more part-time students than
full-time will cause a loss in
revenue, but Manor figures that
unemployment will cause en-
rollment to increase.
Manor made it clear that the
$11 rate was not an effort on the
part of the college to go after
more money.

Glynn Explains Activity Fee Committee
By ROBIN KINDtE
Staff Writer
The Student Activity Fee Committee is responsible for
determining the amount of money to be allotted to each activity on
campus. The money is taken from the Student Activity Fee which
students pay at the beginning of each term.
"The committee is student controlled," explained Paul J. Glynn,
Dean of Student Personnel. "It is composed of all the faculty
advisors that head the individual activities which draw from each
agency. Student Government supplies additional personnel," he
added.
Activities which' draw from the fees include athletics. Galleon,
Beachcomber, Intramural and Recreatiptial BoardAssemblies, and
Executive Board
the Student Government Association.
The committee follows no definite procedure. However, it is
established that, a representative from each activity comes before
the board and states the amount of money that organization needs.
He must explain the plans for the money and justify the
expenditures.
' The committee evaluates the requests and checks what each
activity did with the money allotted to them the year before.
"I'm hoping to see more variety of activities at JC," stated
Glynn. "I think students want more activities. They are denied
much in high school. SO has been working for more faculty
involvement in activities on campus," he added.
Manor met with the Student
Activities Fee Committee last
week and told them of his
recommendations. The college
president will recommend that
up to $1 of the $11 fee charged
per credit hour go to the activity
funds, in the Fall of 1975. But
this will leave the funds much
below last year.
He noted that the college
expects a reduction in the
monies available for the fund
due to the new rate.
"No other school has the
amount of money we have for
student activities," Manor
stated to representatives of the
board. He noted that financial
belts may have to be tightened,
or possible activities cancelled,
and asked members of the
committee ' 'to take a second
look" at what they had planned,
, Manor said that he felt that,
in the past, funds may have
been given carte blanche.
"Whether there was a need for
it or not, we may have allocated
it," said Manor.
While stressing that there
was "no reason to change the
basic way to set budgets", he
stated that each budget will be
carefully scrutinized for un-
necessary items.

Unknown to many students, constant- research is
being done on the number of semester hours registered
for and the number of students enrolled at JC.
Mrs. Mildred Wiatley .
Director of Research, gathers,
complies, analyzes and distrib-
utes information that is helpful
in improving programs offered
to students.
Receiving current figures
'iiom Data processing, Mrs.
'Whatley then distributes this
information among different
department chairman.
Each chairman receives the statistics for his classes
only. An overall report is sent to Dr. Manor, Dr. Glynn
and other people involved with entire college affairs.
These statistics are analyzed by the department head
Mrs. Mildred Whatley
and can be used to forcast future enrollment for their
courses.
One report gives the number of students enrolled at
all campuses; and also the total semester hours
registered by dividing the first number into the second,
this way a department chairman can find the number of
hours each student is enrolled in.
A follow-up program is being conducted by
department heads to assess how well their programs
have gone in the past. Be evaluating past graduates
present performance, they can find ways to improve
present courses.
The most important reason for this research is "to
function and operate this campus efficiendy to best
benefit the students, improve programs offered to
students and plan for enough materials, buildings and
faculty members," stated Whatley.
Welfare And
JC Do Not
Mix Well
By BRUCE MOORE
News Editor
Alice, a divorced JC student with two children to
support is fed up. The problem is that welfare provides
no extra assistance for students and she has decided to
do something about it.
About two weeks ago, Alice placed posters around
campus which stated:
"Is trying to better your education almost impossible
because of the hassles with bill collectors or welfare
workers?
"Are you fed up?
"Well I am!
"We need to get together and talk and see if we can
change things,"
Wednesday night October 2 Alice and three other
"fed up" students met in the Science Conference
Room. On one point they agreed unanimously: welfare
workers "don't care what you are doing to better
yourself. ' '
Alice is not like many welfare mothers who sit around
waiting for their checks each month. Instead, she is
interested in bettering herself by obtaining a Basic
Educatinal Opportunity Grant (BEOG) to further her
education.
However, despite a statement in writing, from the
state director of Health, Education and Welfare that
said the BEOG money was not to be counted as
incoming funds, Alice's welfare check was reduced
because of the BEOG grant.
Alice cannot reveal her real name to the
Beachcomber. . .she's afraid that if this story is read by
welfare people her checks will be reduced.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The next meeting of Alice's
organization is Tuesday, Oct. 29, 8 p.m. hi the Science

County's VD Rate
Upsets JC Student
By BRUCE MOORE
News Editor
Palm Beach County's vener-
eal disease rate is increasing,
according to Mr. Keith Ring,
Regional Consultant for VD
Control in Florida.
Over 3,000 cases of veneral
disease have been reported in
Palm Beach County this year.
While gonorrhea is increasing
slightly above last year's pace,
the county's reported 280
syphillis cases in 1974 ranks far
ahead of the early October rate
ill 1973, a year in which 302
persons were infected with the
disease.
One JC student actively
concerned is Paul Friedman.
He has been a siurgical and
emergency room technician m
New York City and Palm Bech
County for the last two years.
Friedman, 19, has been in
hospital work since he was 16,
and has been concerned about
the rapid VD increase, which he
believes has reached pandemic
proportions .
"This is of great interest to
me," commented Friedman,
"because with the vast amount
of diseases man has to combat,
there is no excuse for the
current VD situation,
' 'Countless millions of dollars
are being spend in the
treatment of VD. Medical men
know the reasons and have
found the cure; yet the great
majority of the people don't take
advantage of it."
Friedman has researched
Veneral Disease statistics and
found that in 1970 415.5 of every
100,000 persons in Florida were
infected with VD. Friedman
reports the American Ivfedical
Association estimates in 1975

dose of the
common cold.
"The biggest problem in
treating VD," said Friedman,
"is to get the person to go for
help: Most people under 25 who
go for medical help give or sell
one half of his antibiotics to
people he knows he has inflicted
with VD.
"The final result is that
neither person is cured to do
insufficient
anti-biotic."
Palm Beach County is
running a close race with big
cities such as New York and
Los Angeles in VD cases, notes
Friedman.
"This is one form of notoriety
that Palm Bech County can do
without," said the surgical
technician.
Friedman is transferring to
the Miami Dade JC Department
of Mortuary Science in January
and hopes to continue his
personal fight against VD,
"The tragic thing is that VD
can be cured and the majority of
the people just don't care," he
laments.

Boca High Project
Goes Up In Smoke
Smoke gets in your eyes? It probably does for students who
attempt to make use of lavatories facilities at county high schools.
Bathrooms have long since ceased to be effective for their intended
purpose, since it is virtually neirt to impossible to find a stall in
dense smoke clouds.
The majority of high and junior high school students who smoke
cigarettes and other forms of tobacco do so in secondary school
bathrooms. Long gone are the days when mischievious student hid
under the football bleachers to take a few puffs of their Winstons.
While recognizing the dangers ©f smoking, we feel that it is about
time that designated smokuig lounges be created at county high
schools. This question came before the Palm Beach County School
Board in the form of a pUot project to be studied. The board denied
the proposal, which was to allow for a student smoking area at Boca
Raton ffigh School, by a three to three vote. Arthur Bougae, Ted
Brown and Daniel Hendrix voted against it. C. Errol Hicks, Bernard
Kimmel and Ann 'McKay voted for it. John Kirby was absent.
Citing vandalism and hypocrisy, Superintendent Joseph Carroll
favored the plan which would allow the students to smoke outdoors.
The program would have been evaluated at the end of the school
year.
Though there are certain legal questions, a pilot program like the
one proposed would seem like a proper way for the board to begin
making changes. This question should be brought up again.
Smoking is for places other than lavatories. We all know what
lavatories are for: skipping class.
Campaign $$pending
A few weeks ago a Beachcomber editorial stated an unwritten law
concerning public campaigns; "Have plenty of funds or you'll
never win an election." After a check of several candidates'
campaign spending, this was proven true. The biggest spender
wins almost ever time.
Dr. C. Errol Hicks, JC instructor and candidate in the October 1
School Board elections, stated that his opponent's big spending
worried him. As it turned out, his opponent and final winner. Dr.
Bradley T. Coates spent six times as much on his campaign as Hicks
spent on his.
The other School Board incumbent facing opposition, JC
instructor DanUe Hendrix, won reelection. But he also spent six
times as much on his campaign as did his opponent, Mrs. Claire
Richert.
In other area elections the victor was almost always the biggest
spender. Fortunately, all records of campaign spending are easily
accessible to.the public. They are filed in the Clerk of Courts office
in the Palm Beach County Courthouse.
Can a middle-class citizen be elected? Dr. Neal Justin, FAU
instructor and candidate for the U.S. Senate in the September 27
primary, campaigned as a "middle American." The bulk of his
campiagn funds came from his own pocket. He finished way back in
a field of 11 candidates with a disapointing vote total.
So, the question is again raised as to the importance of campiagn
funds. As the November 5 election approaches and candidates step
up campaigns, let's hope the money factor will not have an
influential effect. A voter's best advice is still to compare and
evaluate.

WRAP Gets Letters Too !
Editor:
A few days ago, we received
in our mailbox (which is located
in the SAC lounge, next to SG
offices) seven letters, each
flowing with literary eloquence
and loaded with unbounded
criticism towards WRAP and its-
programming.
Judging from the type of
paper and the wording of the
letters, we assume they were all
from the same cafeteria table (or
else they had all used the same
thesaurus),, but that does 'not
change otle important fact.
There ARE people out there
who have their differences with
our programming, style and
delivery. Hence, this open
letter.
In order to clear the air about
our situation, let us state some
facts about our present
capabilities. First, the volume.
Frankly, sometimes we goof,
and program the volujne at a
level slightly too high for the
number of people in the
cafeteria at that moment. But
mostly, the problem seems to be
distortion. Distortion is fuzzy,
unclearly delineated sound,
which admittedly can be most
annoying.
We at WRAP are in the
process of purchasing and/or
repairing four additional ampli-
fiers at this time. And,
investigation is taking place on
the replacement of half the
speakers in the cafeteria ceiling.
This should go a good way
toward our producing a crisp,
clear, audible sound for both
music and speech.
Secondly, the music pro-
gramming. One of the
aforementioned letters supplied
a lengthy list of major
performers with an admonition,
"Why don't you play more of
THESE people? Then, maybe
your station wouldn't - - -that
much."
Intrigued, we compared the
supplies list with our own
playlist, and found that we
owned and played music by
about 90%of the groups they
had submitted. We are also in
the process of ordering more
records to update our library,
and are very open to
suggestions.
Personally, we feel that this
year has brought the widest
spectrum of musical styles and
tastes to WRAP than it has ever
had. According to the deejay
doing the show, music ranging
from soul to jazz, country, pop
and progressive has and will
continue to be played.
Finally, let us add that while
your comments are quite
welcome, we would prefer that
your criticism be intelligently
and constructively phrased. We
have been called every name in
the book (and a few that we
haven't been able to find
anywhere else) , and they have
long since ceased to stimulate
and excite us. Be clear, concise,
and please SUGGEST: don't
just tear down.
We believe vye are performing
a valuable service to the
students of PBJC, and, with
your help, we will continue to do
a better job of it.
Thank you,
The Management and
Staff of WRAP

Middle Class Loses
President Ford proposed Tuesday a five per cent surcharge on
income taxes. This surcharge will affect the American family whose
gross income is over $15,000. ■,,„„+ us+
It seems to me that the middle class American family will get hit
the hardest. The reason is the high class American family has tax
write-offs. This five per cent surcharge will increase their tax
write-offs having little or no effect. r -i- a
I think that the majority of middle class American families needs
all the money it can get. n -j ^ ir„,.^
Inflation has grown in tremendous proportions. President Fold
should decrease financial foreign aid, instead of slashing the throats
of middleclass Americans. Haven t these Americans suffered
enough from the act of the Republicans?
Democrat administrations may have been responsible tor
bringing war but, they have brought us out of depressions or
financial ruts. Republican administrations have been responsible
for Dullina us out of war, and for causing financial chaos.
I think that the Republicans are going to further their tradition
and will be unable to correct our financial problems. The question
should be asked, what can this country do for you as well as what
you can uo lor your country. ^^^^ ^^^^^

Texts Biased
■J.MicheleNotter-
During the last two weeks I have discussed three New Guinea
tribes and how they shape their children into the roles they consider
normal for males and females.
An interesting booklet, "Dick and Jane as Victims", describes all
the elementary textbooks in three suburban New Jersey towns.
There were 134 elementary readers analyzed. These were used to
teach children from the first to eighth grades. The Book.<; were
published by 11 different publishers and, although the geograpliic
area they were used in is small, I believe it is safe to assume that the
stereotypes presented to the children are prevalent throughout
; readers across the country.
; Some quotes from the readers are as follows:
: "Johnny says girls aren't fan. Janey said she wants to be a
doctor but she knows girls cannot be doctors so she will be a nurse.
Dick says he will be an engineer. Sally says she will be a mommy.
Dick says girls are stupid. Janey says she might be ONLY a girl but
she isn't stupid at all."
Typical girls in any reader are frilly little things with a smile on
their faces and a passive attitude toward life. The books are
portrayed in the readers as having a stern look of concentration;
they are busy preparing to be men.
From the 134 books, some startling ratios were found:
Boy centered stories to girl 5:2
Adult male main characters to female 3:1
Male biographies to female 2:1
Male animal to female 2:1
Male folk or fantasy stories to female 4:1
Women in non-biographical stories were portrayin in 25 different
occupations while men participated in 147 different jobs.
Among the active mastery themes are creativity, ingenuity,
bravery, perserverance, achievement, curiosity, sportsmanship,
autonomy and self-respect. These are usually regarded in this
society as positive and desuable. Males are given these attributes
in the stories at a ratio of 4:1.
Adult women mainly teach cookie bakmg and dirt chasing. It is
the men - fathers, school masters, older brothers and boys who, 3:1
encourage others to learn the things they have mastered. The
highest praise any girl can expect, in the stories, is that she
performed "like a boy."
Boys are shown how to grow up and be men, not fathers. Girls
are shown how to grow up and be mothers. The readers often
suggest that boys are considered demeaned by association with
girls. Boys struggle with right and wrong, old women steal the gold
the boys have found!
However, the girls do excel in some things - like passivity,
incompetence and fearfulness. The girls win hands down in 119
stories to the boys' 19. Girls rehearse domestic roles continuously,
166 times to the boys' 50. A girl's inborn attitude for drudgery is
presented in the same spirit as a black person's "natural rhythm."
Under the category of victimizing and humiliating the opposite
sex and excessive agression, the girls win again, 67 to 2, as the
passive victims of this treatment.
■ Under the category of biographies, there are 119 stories about 88
men and 27 stories about 17 women.
An examination of one, on Amelia Earhart, produces the first
sentence of the story: "Amelia was always different." It is left to
the reader's imagination and deductive abilities to figure out that
Amelia is considered a freak and that's why she made it and who
wants to be thought of as a freak? So I guess I'd better not use her
as a role model!
Absent from the readers are fathers and mothers backing their
children's quest for selfhood. Ignored are one-parent families,
adopted children, divorced and/or fighting parents. Boys are
muhi-dimensional, no such example or comparable attempt is made
for girls.
Next week I will draw some conclusions from the articles I have
presented in the last three weeks.
Windy Pleasures
Cast your cares to the wind and spend some time with one of the
oldest pleasure in the world - join the JC Sailmg Club.
The club is meeting Tuesday, Oct. 15, (tomorrow) at noon in the
North SAC lounge.
The club, whose advisor is Dr. James Miles, has approximately
20 members. "More members are needed to enable the club to get
a sailboat," stated Joe Fitzgerald a club member.
"In the past we have had to rent sailboats," he added, "and
because there is no place near the campus that rents boats, this
involves extensive traveling."

Dere Are Dese Things
MarcBressler-
Dere are dese things, ya
know, that really get on my
case. One of da few that gets
me super ripped is da fact that I
gotta take dese stupid English
courses here at JC. Since 1 am,
how you say, prolific, in that
subject, there is no reason, no
how, to have to go through all
that baloney.
Dis here English, I be
learning since way back in
kindergarten when I first started
school. All through elementary
school I was taught never to use
no "double negatives", or
employ fancy words that I didn't
understand, or use what they
call run-on ' sentences. Or
sentence fragments.
I excelled in all of dis stuff.
You understand what I'm
talking to you about? My teach
also taught me that I can't (or
shouldn't) use a lot of
contractions. And I don't. I be
one of the bestest kids in the
class, not the worstest, in amy
cents of the word.
When I gets to high school, I
got all I needed to know about
dis simple tudd, ya know, so 1
only had to take what they
called, "Basic English". No
sweat, man. Easy as pie in the
sky and I was high - no lie.
I would have dug taking
something like "Introduction to
Sex", "Advanced Gum
Chewing", or "Problems of
Organic Chemistry with Calcu-
lus in relation to early man in
Africa." That's ajoke,ya know.
Really, I be wondering to
myslef, I was, "What good is
college English gonna do to
me?"
Let me examine it as such:
Is college English gonna
teach me how to whisper "sweet
nothings" to my chick? Huh, I
ask you? She don't understand
half of what I say no ways, so
how's she gonna know what
" antidisestablishmentarianism
means? She just probably
thinks it's some new kind of hair
spray. 1 give her a copy of.
Beachcomber, and she goes,
"Where the funnies at?
Ain'tche got no funnies?"
Is college English gonna help
me be a chef? That's what I do,
by the way. I don't hafta know
how to spell bernaise sauce to
make it, ya know. I can tell da
difference between a steak and
a meatball. Da steak has da
bone in it.
College English ain't gonna
help me go into my own
business. Well, maybe, I could
have a little problem keeping
business records. It's hard as
hell to file alphabet blocks,
Will college English help me
enjoy life? Not a bit. I know
how to party; whiskey is dark,
vodka is clear, and beer has
foam. I don't need no lessons on
how to make babies. (Speaking
of double negatives, I get a lot of
them when' I asks my chick to
sleep with me. She says
somethin' about "missing her
period", and I jus'say, "Why
don't you ijse an exclamation
point?" '
So, have I; proved my point?
Is college English gonna help
me late in life? No! It's a total
waste. It's not gonna help me
no way, no how. So there! I'm
gonna go get balony! Look that
up in your Funk and Wagnell^s.

Science Club Launches Trip
Canoers Creep Up The Creek
By LORI HILLEBRAND
Staff Writer
With paddle and canoe in
hand, many Science Club
members felt like a Davy
Crocket come alive last Saturday
morning on their first field trip
of the term.
Members living south of the
canoe area met bright and early
that morning at school to follow
the. load of Girl Scout canoes to
the beginning of the run in
Jupiter, Florida. Arriving about
9:00 a.m. they met the northern
members with their Boy Scout
canoes.
After a few warnings about small
alligators and water moccasins
The J.C. Science Club
lannched its first trip
last weekend when they
went on a canoe trip.
Two clnb members
get tangled up hi some
undergrush as they try
to maneuver their
canoe.
Mr. Richard Gross,
Science Club advisor,
watches in perplexion as
he tries to figure out
how his club members
got into their difficult
situations.
A slight problem
arose as these members
tried to get their canoe
off the bank. It was one
of those days. . .

Today printing, publishing,
and packaging, put together,
make up the nation's third
largest industry.
Yet, without the creative and
industrial artist and designer,
this universal industry would be
reduced to nothing.
Those eyecatching illustrat-
ions we see in advertisements,
displays, TV commercials,
movie cartoons, design labels
for containers, and color designs
for greeting cards, are all
produced by the commercial and
graphic artist or illustrator.
Many JC students who have
successfully completed their two
year A.A. degree iif commercial
and graphic arts have organized
and/or instituted their own
employment throughout the
state of Florida.
According to Dr. James
Miles, head of JC's art
department, a student holding
the A.A. degree in graphic and
commercial arts has every bit
the potential of success in the
field as a student with further
educational training - providing
with the two year degree he
possesses the key to artistic
talent - creative ability.
According to Miles, "The
artist's success depends on his
power to conceive ideas and
project them in graphic form,
and his ability to get along well
with others; to relate to
humanism through visual com-
munication." This was the
philosophy or guideime along
which Miles felt the art student
should work.
Today, average salaries for
the A.A. degree student of art,
with 3 to 6 years experience,
according to Dr. Miles, ranges
from $9,000 to $15,000 annually,
(approximately S6 per hour)
Opportunities for advance-
ment are excellent for those
with talent and ambition .
Currently the field is over-
crowded with poorly trained
persons whose work is sub-
standard, thus enhancing
chances for promotion among
well qualified workers.
Employment for the com-
mercial or graphic artist may be
found with any organization
which has a publicity, advertis-
ing or art department. Other
opportunities may be found with
publishers, newspapers, com-
mercial printers, advertising
agencies, studios of design and
commercial arft. public relation
firms, department stores, textile
firms, some specialty stores,
display comp.anies, television
stations, mail order bourse,
large radio stations, calendar
publishers, research foundat-
ions, motion picture studios,
and architectural firms.

James Miles, who is located on
the top floor in the Humanities
Building.

from Mr. Richard Gross, the J
canoers carried their canoes j
through an over-grown pasture =
to get to the water. One by one, j
the canoes slid into the water ;
and off downstream. i
Despite a few empty beer ;
cans and bottles, the surround- f
ings gave the impression of i
being an unexplored territory.
Many types of trees intertwined ;
above the water, oreating a ;
feeling of isolation and peace, ;
although at times civilization
was not far away.
Many species of plant life ;
seen in the lab by biology
students were recognized in the j
natural habhat. And there were '
a few encounters with creatures
of the wild, to quoteoiifipersoii,
"There sure are a lot of i
spiders". Another student, ;
veering too quickly to one side,
realized that the water was "i
bit too chilly for swimming".
The first 14 miles was virgin
territory, and at times, it was a
tight squeeze to fit the canoes
through the narrow passage'
ways. Everyone got the chance
to get their feet wet wlien
climbing over fallen trees that
often prevented smooth ■sailing.
The beauty of the country was
apparent. According to Gross,
"It is the last remaining natural
wild-type river." Because of
this, the county is working \a
buy the surrounding land for
preservation.
After the major part of the
journey was" complete, the real
adventure lay ahead. The
calmness of the water opened
up into the wilder waters of the
Loxahatchee River. Since the
wind was strong, there was iiol
much hope for the inexperien-
ced. To quit paddling meant the
possibility of being pushed bad
many feet. One paddler calje;!
out, "I can't remember a tiiR:
when I wasn't paddling."

X-Ray Technologists
Sharon YunuS'
Under the general term "radiologic technologist" comes three
distinct subtopics.
The diagnostic radiologic technologist is the person thatmost of us
see when we have done potential traumatic injury to our bodies.
These persons work basically in the radiology or X-ray departments
of hospitals. They make up the backbone of the R.T.'s.
The nuclear medicine technologist is a soecialist in working with
isotopes. This person may be a diagnostic radiologic technologist
with added training or he may be a holder of a Bachelor or Science
degree with one additional year of specialized training. His duty is
to inject patients with radioactive material for images that aid in
diagnosis.
The third category belongs to the radiation therapy technologist.
These persons are held responsible for the administering of
potentially lethal amounts of radiation as prescribed by the
radiologist specializing in therapy.
Not written into the duties of these persons, but implied, is the
morale of these cancer-bearing patients.
Each of these titles requires a minimum of two' years of training,
passing of the national board exam and, if wishing to specialize,
additional training and passing of the national specialty board
exam.
The benefits of this profession extend further than the naked eye
sees at first glance. The field of medicine is constantly expanding
and with the imminence of a national health plan, more and more
specialists in the allied health field will be needed.
The starting pay for an x-ray technologist is from $8,000 tyo
$10,000 and up, Couple the salary with the constant availability of
openings and you may agree that this is an area worth looking into.

Talking about his movie-to-be, Mr. Francis Leahy of the JC drama
department describes his "dream come true."
Movie On The Make
^Qbet!
By DEBBIE THOMPSON
Staff Writer
Frank Leahy, JC Speech and
Drama instructor will be
fulfilling his lifetime ambition
when be begins production on
his personal screenplay in Palm
Beach next summer.
"The Eighth Daffodil" is a
heart warming drama written by
Leahy in collaboration with two
of his former students, Nick
Bougis and J. Alton Murphy.
The mutli-leveled, feature
length film involves the "lonely,
desperate struggles" of Honey,
a young showgirl tormented
daily by her constant attempts
to hide her illegitimate,
five-year old son firom the
glamorous night club world she
inliabits and Patrick, with
whom she becomes passionately
involved. The movie evolves
around the theme of two
separate worlds being torn
between the revelations of flesh
and the spirit,
"This project is something
I've always wanted to do",
expressed Leahy, "but couldn't
have or take the time. I.had the
idea for the script some time
ago. Finally, the three of us got
together and comoleted it last
year.
Leahy, with over 20 years
experience, will be directing the
film. Bougis is in charge of the
script, and Murphy, completing
his Masters degree is filmmak-
ing at the University of Georgia,
will be the chief cinematogra^
pher.
The filming takes the
characters into the backgrounds
and locations of the glamorous
Palm Beach island; into the
squalor of the migrant farms
and other locations varying from
North Carolina to New York
City.
Although he has an optimistic
outlook, the main obstacle,
according to Leahy, is trying to
find interested parties to invest
in the film, budgeted at
$160,000.
"We're trying to keep the
total at the minimum,"
explained Leahy. "$160,000 is
very low for an independent
project such as this one. Most
of us will not be taking salaries,
and the actors will all be
unknowns. The financial
outlook for investing in anything
right now is not great, but we
are hopeful, through, and won't
begin until we have the total

Mr. Ray Stewart, JC's nursing instructor and a Registered Nurse, talks about the pros and cons of
being a male nurse.
Mole R.N. Views Job
By DEBBIE THOMPSON
Staff Writer
Aside from sex, the only
differences between male and
female nurses today are their
uniforms and an approximate
sixteen cent per hour pay
differentiation, according to Mr.
Ray Stewart, J.C, instrtuctor
and Registered Nurse.
Responding to questions
concerning discrimination and
female opposition, Mr. Stewart
pointed out that although male
nurses were not commonplace^
m the late 40' s when he began
his studies, the institution fi-om
which he received his diploma
was prepared to meet the
challenge.
"I don't think I've really had
any trouble as far as my choice
of professions," Stewart noted,
"I obtained ray degree by way
of a three-year program at
Worster City Hopsital in
Massachusetts, which was
geared to male nurses.
Although we were in the
minority, there were more and
more men going into the field all
the time, and the female nurses
responded very well."
Mr. Stewart, who began
teaching at JC at the start of the
Fall term, has also taught at
School of Practical Nursing at
Massachusetts General Hospi-
tal. He's received both his
Bachelor of Science and Masters
degrees in Nursing, and is
presently a doctoral candidate in
Health Education at Boston
amount needed."
Screen tests will begin late in
November, and 'the filming is
scheduled to start in the early
1975, with the main portion
being shot in the spring and
early summer.
"Later on, there will be
chances for people who wish to
be in the movie to sign up,"
Leahy added. "We feel it is
better to use unknown person-
alities because the public can
better identify with them."
The next step, after the film is
produced, is to get a prominent
agent to distribute the material,
"We're all set to begm",
concluded Leahy. "Now, if
there are any rich students at JC
who wish to invest $25,000."
Northwestern University in
Boston and the Shepard Gill
University,
His active experience include
private duty nursing, Red Cross
and ambulance work, and
industrial supervision.
Stewart states, "Being a
doctor is something I've never
really wanted to do. Despite
some beliefs, a male nurse is not
a person that couldn't make it to
medical school. I always
enjoyed the nursing profession
much more. There were two
reasons for me deciding on my
':S*S»e*.>;»
career." he stated. "First, my
orderly in high school when I
first heard the term "male
nurse" used, and I thought it
was a joke. At the time, I
couldn't really afford medical
school and I was very weak in
chemistry. Besides, nursing
seemed much more fulfilling to
me. What I really like is the
parents were shop people and I
promised niyslef early in fife
that I would find a job where I
would always be in demand and
not have to worry about being

Love is free so the poet says. But tell me,
are you? If you are, so you love.

If you are ready to see a
young unknown actor surprise
moviegoers with an award
winning performance; then
prepare yourself for Richard
Dreyfuss in the "Apprentice-
ship of Duddy Kravitz."
You may remember Dreyfuss
from "American Graffiti". His
performance was exceptional to
say the least. Unfortunately It
brought him only limited
recognition.
Duddy Kravitz is entirely a
different character to Dreyfuss
than the high school sidekick he
portrayed in "American Graf-
fiti." Dreyfuss's expressions
must go deeper than those of a
stereotyped superficial charac-
ter. As Duddy Dreyfuss is
perfect. He can fill you with
Duddys same driving ambition.
It'sl948, Duddy, a Jew, lives
in the Jewish ghetto of
Montreal. He is fresh out of
high school, poor, young and
sets his ambitions on being "a
somebody." His righ uncle
supports his brother through
medical school but doesn't give
Duddy a dime. Duddy's father
is poor, widowed and a beer
drinking cab driver. Duddy
feels these facts hold him
drastically back from achieving
his goals. He can feel only
contempt for these people.
Who, then, can Duddy turn to?
There is Mr. Farber, a scrap
iron dealer, who gives Duddy all
kinds of unorthodox business
advice. Also Duddy's life long
idol, Dingleman, who started
from the streets and scratched
his way up to a big time
racketeer . Duddy will listen to
all of them but when it comes to
getting the job done he does his
own kind of thing.
Duddy is obsessed with
ambition. He'll do nearly
anything for a quick buck. He
will charm anyone who will do
him a favor until he gets what he
wants. When Duddy sets his
sights on a goal he becomes a
ruthless hard driving fanatic.
He steps on people like the
rungs on a latter in his climb to
success. What he fails to realize
is that people cannot be used
like objects.
The encounters Duddy goes
through for a quick buck are
intriguing. Topped off with his
brainstorm, making movies of
weddings and bar mitzvasj with
his first movie 'Happy Bar
Mitzva Bernie."
The story is not satirical a
particular ethnic group nor does
it criticize any particular
institution of system. It's
merely the story of a man with a
boal and the situations his
ambitious drives create. It
illustrates that people should
not be treated like objects.
The filming and directing are
all A-1 and the acting and
script is even better. The
supporting actors are cast
equally as well as Dreyfuss.
The combination resuUs in a
well made entertaining film
classic.

Lorraine Hansberry is a well
known black playwright and
author of "The Sign in Sidney
Brustein's Window" which the
drama department presents on
Nov. 7, 8, 9, 10 and 14.
She received the New YHork

the Sun."
Her second and last Broad-
way play before she died of

moved to N.Y.C.
Hansberry was very commit-
ted to the struggle for civil
rights and this was part of her
total committment to life.
"I care. I care about it all. It
takes too much energy not to
care," she said. "The why of
why we are here is an intrigue
for adolescents the how is what
must command the living.
Which is why I have lately
become an insurgent again."

Pacers To Face Ranked Teams
By ROBIN PUTT
The Pacers open their
1974-75 basketball season on
November 20 at home against
the Palm Beach Atlantic Junior
Varisty for the second straight
year.
With a 21-7 record last year,
the team hopes to be playing its
28th game in the finals of the
state tournament again this
year.
In addition to having the same
number of games, the schedule
after Jan. 9, with a straight run
of 14 conference games, looks
very much the same as a year
ago.
There are significant dif-
ferences, however, primarily
before Christmas.
Last year there were 10
individual games and one
tournament before Jan. 9, but in
this year's schedule, there are
only five individual games and
three tournaments,
"It's getting a lot harder to
find teams who want to play
us," says Dr. Howard Reynolds,
On The Run
By ROBIN PUTT
Sports Editor
Rodney Stride was a long distance runner with one short-coming -
he couldn't see where he was going.
Stride compiled a record of 37 consecutive second place finishes
m his cross country career at Hasty Lopings Community Colleae in
Spnntbrug, Mass.
"I never won a race because I always had to follow the shadow of
the runner in front of me," explained Stride.
Being a nearsighted runner can cause a number of problems.
"One time I was running a race when the shadow of a tree
crossed my path," said Stride. "I ran in place for seven minutes
before I realized what was going on."
On another occasion Stide had to drop out of a race because the
sun went behind a cloud.
"The sun wasn't out anymore so I didn't know which of the
shadows I was supposed to be following," said Stride.
Stride was always disagreeing with officials.
"One time I was thrown out of a meet because I kep running into
pine trees," said Stride. "The official and 1 just couldn't see eye to
eye."
During another race Stride was disqualified for running on the
heels of the man in front of him. His explanation for this error was
that he didn't want to let the runner out of his sight.
"One time I thought I was running into the finish chute of a meet
in a suburban area," said Stride. "Then some old lady started
chasing me with a broom and telling me not to trample on her
laundry."
After all these frustrations, Stride was finally given a pair of
glasses by his sympathetic coach and teammates.
"When I got the glasses and saw how far I had to run," said
Stride. "I decided to give up the sport."
athletic director.
"Back when teams could pick
up what they thought would be
an easy win, we could get all the
games we wanted," Reynolds
said.
' 'But now the word is out, and
the coaches are not beating
down my door asking to be on
our schedule."
This year there will be no
conference games before the
Pacers go to Broward North on
Jan. 9, and this could be an
advantage since William Hall,
the high-jumping soft-shooting
forward may be eligible by that
time.
Hall will have to sit out the
Fall term while struggling to
improve his grades to become
eligible.
■ Pacer fans will get only two
chances to see the team in
action at home before Christ-
mas; the opener on Nov. 20 and
a game on Dec. 14 with
Marymount.
But immediately after the
break for the holidays, Jan. 3-4,
the PBJC Invitational will bring
Hillsborough, Broward North
and Camden, N.J., to the home
court, followed by Atlantic
College, N.J., on Jan. 6.
The two out-of-state foes both
have reputations as basketball
powers, Reynolds said.
' One of the seven losses last
year was to Camden, a "well
disciplined, well-coached team,
according to Reynolds, and the
Pacers will be out to avenge that
loss.
Last year a torrid race for
division leadership between
PBJC, Dade South, Broward
North and Indian River went
right down to the wire.

division winner, with PBJC

"Psychology is a fascinating and wide open field," said Bellas, j

senior year when he suffered a torn ligament in his knee.
"I earned all-conference and all-county awards in my jiinion
year," said Bellas who also wrestled and threw the shot put laiy

"After I was injured, the doctors said I wouldn't play football;
again," said Bellas, '(
But love of the sport and weight lifting gave Bellas the inspiratio: i
and strength to return to his favorite sport. ;
B ellas said no one involved with the Barracuda organizatla:;

the team from 110 prospects to a 45 man squad, Bellas was stili

"I worked out with Henry Williams, who was with San Diego,'!

Williams started for San Diego in the preseason but was cut froEj
the Chargers after suffering a torn ligament.

Student Organizes Club
Edgar Moves Up
By FRANK SMITH
Don Edgar turned a newspaper article into a cross country
scholarship. Edgar said, "Last year I ran cross country for Broward
Community College. We had a pretty good team, but in May some
of the team members were given trophies for their contribution and
then told that the cross country program and all scholarships were
dissolved."
Don wrote some letters to other schools but decided not to go to
any of them. That's when the newspapers saved the day.
the Miami Herald called Don up during the summ e'r and said they
wanted to do a story on him. "They wrote a big story about BCC
and how they were going to drop cross country to put more money
into the swimming program. Because they asked for my opinion in
the article, I gave them a few of my thoughts on the subject. Within
48 hours the Assistant Athletic Director called my house and said
that Ed Everett and I could attend the school next year, not compete
in cross country, and still have our fees paid for us," explained
Edgar.

Seek Chess Sponsor
By ROBIN PLITT
Some people
say it takes a computer brain to
play chess. This may be so,
because Terry Wilkerson pro-
grams computers and plays the
ancient sport.
Wilkerson began going to JC
as a dually enrolled student
from Forest Hill high school,
and hopes to complete the
requirements for a certificate in
computer technology by the end
of this term.
Terry is also directing the
chess club, one of the clubs on
campus which lacks faculty
support.
"We have 15 people officially
playing for the club," said
Wilkerson, "But there are
several students who come into
our room for an occasional
game."
One of the functions Wilker-
son is carrying out is the
establishment of a rating system
to judge the quality of the
players.
"Were using the same
system of ratings that was used
last year," SAID Wilkerson.
"The system awards points to
the winners and takes pomts
away from the lowers depending
on how good the individual
players are."
The system awards each new
player a total of 700 points and
add points if they win, subtracts
points if they lose and gives the
lower rated player points if the
two draw.
"I'd like to see a lot more
people out for the chess club,"
said Wilkerson. "The system
works better if you have more
people participating in it."
Wilkerson learned the game
of chess from his father and was
playing evenly against him by
age 15.
"We started a chess club
when I was a sophomore at
Forest Hill," said Wilkerson.
"We didn't start competing
until I was a junior."
In his junior year, Wilkerson
and teammates won the Palm
Beach County Championship for
high schools.
Another problem faced by the
chess club is the lack of a faculty
advisor.
Joseph Leski, a math teacher,
was sponsor for the club until
this year when he dropped the
post due to the lack of an activity
period.
"Because we don't have a
sponsor, said Wilicerson . "we
can't raise any money to go to
tournaments."
Wilkerson is the leader in the
ratings with a total of 765
points. He is followed by Robin
Plitt, with 725 and Alex Bellas
with 718.

Don was set to attend school, he had his fall schedule, his fees
paid, and had committed himself to not competing in cross country,
but cross country coach Dick Melear had other ideas.
"CoachMelear called me up and said that he could use me up
here at Palm Beach. He told me that he was trying to put together a
team that would finish in the top of the State meet," said Don, "so,
later, I decided to come up here and run."
Of coach Melear, Edgar comments, "He's a good coach,
everybody likes him, except at practices, where he's very
unpopular. He never lets up on us. TTiat's good for us, not friendly
but good." •
As if to demonstrate that Don is here to run, he placed 18th in tlie
Tallahassee Invitational the cross country teams' last meet, Ed

Disabled Students Fight Obstacles
By ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Physically disabled students find obstacles in their
paths the moment they enter JC, according to Miss
Helen V. Diedrich, counselor. Financial difficulties have
been the primary barrier.
Students conflned to wheelchairs face the greatest
difficulties. Ramps are needed at some areas on campus,
and thresholds to rooms are too high. Heavy doors, such
as those in the Humanities Building, cause additional
problems.
Since no elevators are in the Social Science,
Humanities, and Technical buildings, disabled students
cannot attend classes upstairs. Elevators are enormously
expensive, so the only alternative is to bring the class
■downstairs.
"A physically disabled student cannot easily be in an
art program at JC," explains Miss Diedrich. "There is
no way to bring a class downstairs when the equipment is
built upstairs,"
Miss Diedrich has been working hard at meeting
federal guidelines which were developed to make
colleges accessible to disabled students.
These students cannot use telephone booths at JC, and
few water fountains are within their reach. According to
federal guidelines, science laboratories with 24 or more
stations should have at least one handicapped station.
Miss Diedrich is also trying to meet federal guideUnes for
adequate sanitary facilities for disabled students.
"Those with an inability to write need other students
to take notes for them, or they may bring a tape recorder
to class with the permission of the instructor," said Miss
Diedrich. "Arrangements for taking tests should be
made at the teacher's discretion."
Some accomodations are made for disabled students at
JC. Handicapped parking is provided. Schedules are
arranged by counselors so that the disabled student's
classes are close together.

Trustees Approve SG Fee Plan
Br BRUCE MOORE
News Editor
JC Board of Trustees approved a major
revision to the fee-tuition structure Wednesday.
Beginning in the Fall Term, 1975, students are to
pay fees at a rate of $11 per credit hour.
The Board's ruling eliminates the present fee
policy, which charges students on a three hour
graduating scale, with no fees for more than 12
credit hours.
Of more interest to students and faculty
present at Wednesday's board meeting was
debate over the distribution of student activity
fees from the monies collected under the new
fee- tuition structure.
The board rejected a proposal from JC
President Dr. Harold C. Manor in. favor of a
Student Government plan hitroduced by SG
President Tory Buckley.
Under the new activity fee plan, one dollar,
from the Sll per credit hour, is to be put into the
activity fee fund.
Monies from the activity fee fund will continue
to be allocated by the Student Activity Fee
Committee, which is headed by Dean of Student
Personnel Paul J. Glynn.
Additionally, under the Buckley plan, any
funds from an organization left over at the end of
a school year are to stay in that organization's
budget for the next school year.
Manor's proposal varied from the one
submitted by SG on two major points:
1) Manor proposed that the activity-fee rate be
"not more than" one dollar; thus the JC
president, in some years, could set a figure less
than the dollar rate.
2) Manor wanted all the funds that were left
over at the end of the school year to revert back to
the general fund.
Buckley's proposal was motioned for by Ms.
Susan Anstead, wh*o felt tfie Manor plan gave the
president too much of a free hand in determining
the activity fee level.
Ms. Susan Anstead.. .supports SG
Trustees M. C. Hamblin, Dr. R. L. Smith, and
Ms. Anstead approved the proposal, while board
chairman Dr. Edward Eissey and Mrs. Homer
Hand abstained.
Following the vote, a jubilent Buckley told
reporters, "A victory was scored for all
students."
"The question was whether we would have a
set figure to give to student activities each year or
whether it was going to fluctuate back and forth
all the time," said Buckley.
"What the board did," commented SG's
president, "was approve the set figure and
stipulate that leftover funds stay in the budget."
After the meeting Manor criticised the second
part of Buckley's recommendation, which dealt
with leftover organization budgets. The JC
president stated that since the extra monies could
not be allocated to the general fund, "the
students might as well spend it anyway."
In other actions, the board;
•Designated official names tor JC and its-
subsidiaries as follows: Palm Beach Junior
College North, PBJC South, PBJC Glades, and
,PBJC Central (main campus).
•Appointed present Biology Department
instructor John Schmiederer to Chairman of
Division of Allied Health, effective January 2,
1975 - June 30, 1975.

PE SAILBOAT PURCHASE
By KOBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Student Government's Exec-
utive Board ' considered the
Sailing Club's request for funds
to purchase a Sunfish Sailboat
and discussed plans for the
upcoming concerts in November
and January, at the October 15
Board meeting.
If the Sailing Qub purchases
a b«at, it would be possible to
offer sailing as a credited
course fay the P.E. Department
witWn a year, according to
Howard M. Reynolds, Athletic
Director.
The boat, which has a 10 year
life expentancy and costs $425 •
$575, would be maintained by
the P.E. Department.
The purchase of a boat would
eventually save money because
the rental of boats if very
expensive. In addition, the
Sailing Club has had difficulties
renting boats.
Several nniversitles and
junior colleges, inclndktg Miami
Dade Community College, are
offering Sailing as a credited
course.
"Such a course would be a
tremendous addition to our
curriculum and would be of
great student interest," com-
mented Reynolds.
A sailing class can not be held
with only one boat. The
ultimate goal is 10 boats, a
trailer, 20 lifejackets and 20
paddles.
As a means for aquiring
boats, a green stamp drive was
suggested by Roy E. Bell,
Health and P.E. teacher and
Investigation
Torrenfiol Traffic
JomesC/eore—
Q. I am worried about the traffic problem here at JC. What's the
story?
A - PBJC, like any other institution which is still in the initial
stages of development, is experiencing one of the negative aspects
of growth; traffic problems. For example. Congress Avenue is
bemg envisioned by some people as a dangerous highway; this
assumption is not without justification, because a motorcyclist was
seriously injured along Congress in front of PBJC.
Entering the campus from Congress is a problem that was tackled
by traffic engineers of Palm Beach County. Consequently, the
traffic light at the Congress Avenue entrance to the school is a
demand traffic light which will allow as many as 14 cars to make left
turns providedc they are not spaced too far apart.
^u^^ ^ discussion with Secnri^ Chief Grant Bartels, I learned
that PBJC has 2,000 paved parking spaces plus additonal space
provided by the shellrock bedding at the northeast end of the
campus."
Also a recent survey by Bartels' staff shows that "PBJC has on
theaverage 2,000 cars during day classes; this ranges from a low of
1700 to a high of 2500."
During the upcoming weeks I will continue to look into, update
and comment on this problem which inconviences many students. 1
would appreciate any suggestions on specific areas that need
attention.

member of the Intramural and
Recreational Board.
"A sailing class would greatly
contribute to water safety in this
area," said Bell, "With our
natural facility the boats could
be used every day," he added.
The Board is accepting bids,
hoping for a price break on a
boat, and is to await the
outcome of the bidding before
reaching a decision on whether
to buy a boat. The Sailing Club
was allotted $100 for their
weekend sailing trips.
Dean Bursey, manager of the
rock group Dusenberry was
present at the Board meeting.
He proposed a $300 "package
deal" for Dusenberry's perfor-
mance at the November Day
Concert and a backup perfor-
mance at the January Concert.
Tony Banks, Secretary of
Productions, favors Stone Harp
for both concerts. Stone Harp
has offered to do both concerts
for $250. In addition, one of the
group's members is willing to
do silkscreen advertisements for
the concerts. Banks stressed
the fact that advertishig will be
the biggest problem.
* 'Dusenberry does original
songs," argued Bursey, "while
Stone Harp is a copy band.
Dusenberry is a budding group
whose goal is to become a big
name group," he added.

definite decision.

Rivalry Ends
Unions Merge
BRIAN E.CROWLEY

The Florida Education Association and the American Federal!-
of Teachers have merged to form the United Community Coil;:
Faculty of Florida (UCCFF). Alan Maxwell, a science instructor i
JC and John McGinnis of Tallahassee Community College we-
named as co-chairpersons.
The merger of the two organizations has put to an end their [oti
rivalry at Florida's 28 community colleges. A reemitment drive lu
already started to bring all 8,000 faculty members of the stole-
community coUeges mto the one organization.
In a joint statement, Maxwell and McGinnis said the UCCFF *>
formed to coordinate faculty activities; create a political adk'
program, provide staff assistance and training, and assist in i
phases of collective bargaining.
"Our new organization will be able to promote the kinds :
educationl programs that was the students and taxpayers of ffi-
state desire and deserve," said Maxwell.
"Until now," McGinnis added, "faculty members at Floridi'i
community colleges were separated from campus to campus ssi
were unable to coordinate programs and activities through a singe
state organiztion. But with FEA and AFT cooperation, our voice
will finally be heard."
The new organization will be affiliated with both the FEA and ll
AFT; but current members may choose to belong to either or bff.l

Vending Machines 87% Effective

Despite the popular belief
that campus vending machines
are constantly on the blink and
"out-to-get-you a recent poll
disclosed that the beVerage,
cigarette and snack machines
are effective at least 87% of the
time.
The survey, conducted by the
Beachcomber staff in collabor-

of five days and included 250
vending machine customers.
Of the 250 patrons attempting
to use the machines, only 219
deliveries were made, and out of
the thirty-one non-deliveries,
only fifteen had their money
returned, three of them
obtaining only partial refunds.
Pollsters, questioning the
customers about attempted
fclunds, discovered only 22% of
those losing their money would
a I tempt to get it back. About
one-half admitted that they
didn't knov/ where to seek their
refunds, however, the informa-
tion is posted on at least 'one

the machine and retrieving his
money, he decided to try again.
This time, he deposited his
money in a coke machine, which
had also just made ten
deliveries in a row, only to lose
it a second time.
Also related was the tale of
the unfortunate female who
begged approximately twenty
people for a quarter, only to
have it devoured by the "killer
coke machine" at the admin-
istration building.
Many people who are
unconvinced of the results,
claim their life's savings have
been consumed by the mach-
ines, must take into considera-
tion the results are percentages;
and while one group of
machines deliver properly,
another set is inefScient and
makes more errors than
anticipated.
A spokesman for Wometco
Enterprises, who owns and
operates the machines, stated
that the main cause of
malfunction is "people".
"People," he pointed oiut,
"put anything they can find into;
those machines, including
foreign coins, slugs, pennies,
and flip-tops from cans. Also
being out in the open, the coin
slots are also susceptible to the
South Florida sand that is
constantly being stirred up and
blown around."
He added that the machines
were stocked and checked daily,
and the entire fleet of
serviceman are trained, having
had to ride with both the
mechanic and the supervisor,
for a period of six weeks.
"A vending machine is like a
car," he concluded. "You've
got to put the right things into it

Grants Necessary
For Improvement
In years past, JC athletic teams rarely provoked excessive worry
in opposing teams or their coaches. But now, JC teams have upped
their records and in some sports, have been ranked among the
state's best.
This success is largely due to an upgraded athletic program; a
program which includes some outstanding athletes on athletic
scholarships to JC.
Without these grants-in-aid, many of these athletes would not
have been attracted to JC. The grants cover tuition, books, and
sometimes the athletic department will also help an athlete with his
room and board.
Of course, better athletes mean better teams. And, unlike many
scholarships svhich are based on student need, these grants-in-aid
are given because the student himself is "needed". (Presently,
only men are receiving athletic grants although women will in the
near future.)
Talented students in other fields such as music, drama,
journalism, art, et cetera, are also needed for continued
improvement at JC in those department. Could it be possible to also
provide grants-in-aid for these students?
Scholarships are available to students in these fields, but they are
given only through organizations or individuals. Athletic
grants-in-aid are funded mamly through the Student Activity fee (a
certain amount of money is budgeted to the coach of each sport who
may spend it on needed equipment or scholarships).
It's also part of a coach's job to go and recruit athletes in an effort
to improve his program.
Although production of the Beachcomber is also funded through
the activity fee, the improvement of JC's journalism program could
be made possible if the newspaper advisor could go and recruit
>ssible editors and staff members?
Vouldn't it improve the drama department if speech and drama
:hers ' could recruit talented students? Or, if some other
lartment's instructors could recruit outstanding students in their
ds, offering them scholarships? Most of these students will not
e part in such activities because of job obligations.
It's obvious that without athletic grants-in-aid, JC's athletic
fogram would not boast the athletes participating in it now.
It's also evident that other department programs here would
benefit if grants-in-aid help could possibly be given to their students
as well as athletes.

RevQrheraWons
Voice Of Administration?
Dear Editor:
Your paper claims to be "The
Voice of the Palm Beach Junior
College Student," but one look
at the story "Activity Fees To
Be Slashed" leads me to
conclude that you are acting as
the voice of the college
administration.
In the story, you report that
JC President Harold C. Manor
intends to recommend a system
of collecting student activity
fees which will result in a
reduction of funds available for
student activities.
That's fme. But do you report
anything else? No. From the
lily-white appearance you gave,
nobody objects to these funds
being "slashed." If anyone
objected, you couldn't tell by
reading your story; its entire
content was, "Manor said.
Manor said, Manor said."
Dr. Manor is not the only one
who is supposed to have input in
this matter. The meeting you
covered was of the STUDENT
Activity Fee Comihittee, which
you noted in your story. The
purpose of this committee is to
give the students a strong voice
in the financing of their
activities. Dr. Manor came into
the meeting and proposed a
reduction in activity fees in an
amount he was to determine.
Are we to believe there was no
student opposition?
If you think that Dr. Harold C.
Manor is so powerful that his
word is the only word worth
printing on student activity fees,
then you are still laboring under
the delusion that he "voluntar-
ily" stepped down as Faculty
Senate Chairman.
We students deserve a
complete, objective appraisal of
the internal politics of this
college especially when such
matters can influence our
academic lives. We do not want
institutional public relations.
Wiring news stories is more
than just getting quotes out of
the horse's mouth. You have to-
walk around to the other end to

Rapped: 'Comber & WRAP
Editor:
The .article last week
concerning the Synchronization
of the Campus clocks seemed to
leave out some important facts:
i. The Authors of the
Resolution were Glynne Hughes
and Rob Abrams.
2. These two senators put in
many hours investigating the
clock situation.
3. They also had some
valuable and pertinent infor-
mation, which they presented at
the senate meeting, concerning
the clocks.
After talking to the apparent
author of the article, it was
found that his original article
had been edited to exclude
these two concerned senators.
Senators who expend their
energies for the common good
of all students deserve recogni-
tion and should not be left out
under any circumstances.

Dear Editor:
I wish to make the students of
this campus aware of the fact
that WRAP does not have
balanced programming. JC
students might enjoy other
types of music. In particular,
I'm speaking about such
popular singers as Perry Como,
Frank Sinatra, Robert Goulet,
and my personal favorite, Bing
Crosby
There are some students who
enjoy Country music, with
singers like Mel Tillis, Webb
Pierce, Dolly Parton, and
Tammy Wynette. Many JC
students also like Jazz. I would
recommend that WRAP'S sta-
tion manager consider such jazz
greats as Coleman Hawkins,
Sidney Bechet, and of course,
Louis Armstrong.
In summary, to be fair to all
JC students, WRAP should play
all types of music, and being an
amateur musicologist, I would
be glad to be an advisor to
WRAP should they wisely
decide to expand their pro-
gramming.

Coniorming Role
J. Michele Notter-
In recent articles I have shown that children can be made to
conform to any role that a culture desires. In any society, this
jjressure to conform to one role or the other, without consideration
of an individual's personality, is damaging to both sexes equally.
In a report given to the Amerian Psychological Association in
September 1970 by the Association of Women Psychologists, my
point was stated more professionally. "Psychological oppression in
the form of sex role socialization clearly conveys to girls from the
earliest ages that their nature is to be submissive, servile, and
repressed, and their role is to be servant, admirer, sex object and
martyr. . .the psychological consequences of goal depression in
young women, the negative self-image, emotional dependence,
drugged or alcoholic escape are all too common.
"In addition, both men and women have come to realize the
effects on men of their type of sex role stereo-typing the crippling
pressure to compete, to achieve, to produce, to stifle emotion,
sensitivity and gentleness, all taking their toll in psychic and
physical traumas."
Many suggestions can be made to change current society, but a
step in the right direction is a re-evaluation of the roles presented to
children via their readers, elimination of the sole use of the male
personal pronoun to mean male and female, the additional
requirement that males and that females be represented in
curricula, books and other institutional materials in a variety of
roles. The elimination of criteria requiring or permitting sex
stereo-typing, sex segregated classes and other differential
treatment between the sexes.
The treatment by teachers and counselors of expectation that are
stereo-typed; as in the tracking practices which tend to encourage
and place boys in advanced sections of math and science and girls in
the sections of office practice should be eradicated.
In this society, we stretch our sons to fill the ideal dominant male
role and fragment our daughter's personalities to make them fit the
servile female role. Both processes do violence to the individual.
Each damaged person depletes the resources of the whole society.
A culture can be built so that each individual can attain her or his
full human status with acceptance of passive or agressive males or
females.
■Mike Piliero
Mr. White Knight
The subject in class was
inflation and what to do about it.
Walter raised his hand and
suggested a strong president
could help solve our present
difficulties.
A bit puzzled by the
statement, young Dr. Yinger
(Social Science teacher) politely
disagreed, saying a President
shouldn't hold excessive power.
However, Walter meant that the
president should be strong in
leadership and thus capable of
solving our problems a la
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Everybody agreed. Inflation
could be licked in this manner.
Pondering a little longer on the
subject, however, I've reached a
point of, uncertainty over
whether a U.S-. president should
or should notbe modeled as the
romantic "White Knight".
Is this notion, in fact,
dangerous? Haven't we learned
that "White Knights" are
manufactured and rarely bom?
If we regard our president with
an awe relegated the gods, will
he be, or become, prone to
avoiding congressional advice al
a Richard (he's the one) Nixon?
Public relations departments
have worked miracles. At great
public expense, they have taken
the sneaky and dishonest, and
made super-heroes out of them.
That is, until the true colors
•Mike's View —
show.
If we, the public, accept this
"White Knight" theory, we
have two problems: how to
unsaddle a reluctant "White
Knight" when it becomes
necessary (doing this in time to
prevent damage) and then, how
to make the public understand
that one man rule is too
dangerous even for a "White
Knight".
Congress is feeling its oats for
the first time in many years. Its
weight is finally registering in
the minds of our elected
representatives now. All this is
possible through the fall, and
consequential absence, of the
"White Knight".
President Gerald Ford thus
far hasn't shown any pretense at
being great. On the contrary,
he appears to be humble in
seeking advice and keeping his
ears tuned to public opinion.
Ironically, his moves, so far, are
controversal to the point where
he is losing his popularity. But,
I am not ready to condemn.
The nation's turmoil can be
solved without a "White
Knight" this time. We have the
available brain power to solve
all problems under the shining
sun. And we are the power, you
and me and the democratic
process.

glasses, I could see you home ?"

■Last Exit
Foxy Tammi Tries
Tammi Tunabopper sat ner-
vously in class, her platform
shoes crossed underneath her.
Her long blond hair, bleached to
ten different shades, cascaded
over her shoulders, and flirted
with her cheeks. Eyelashes
straight out of a nearby
drugstore, fluttered ever so
often, in a somewhat sexy
fasion.
A single string of hair, this
one light blond, occasionally fell
out of place, covering her left
eye and causing her to blink.
She would brush it back without
a thought, like she had done to
so many suitors.
Class was a bore to her; there
were^o mapy other things to do;
gossip, smoie cigarettes in the .
bathroom, exchange pleasant-
ries and barbs with girlfriends,
and "do her face" again. Oh,
and maybe, just maybe now,
catch a glimpse of that new
transfer student. He's so,
so-ohhh, unreal, UNREAL! she
thought.
The bell rang, jarring her out
of her "Gee, I have a crush"
stupor, and sent her speeding for
the door.
She glided across the room, her
bopper body swaying this way
and that. She looked like a
conglomeration of bargain
basement sales with a dab of
Pierre of France thrown in.
She burst into the hall, not
unlike a bolt of lightning, but
more a stifled burp. And then,
ohmigod, ohmigod, there HE
was! Mr. Wonderful, every-
thing I always wanted in a MAN
was standing there, all of him,
and I'm here too, oh, isn't it just
like I've . always dreamed it
would be, she thought.
The man, dark, tall, and
handsome, stood, rather tower-
ed above her, like a God unto his
worshipper. She began to
stammer out her best form of
greeting, attempting to appear
very suave and sophisticated.
"Umaumaumaumaumaua,"
she blurted out.
"What are you saying," he
asked.
That voice! That mouth!
Those lips! My heart!
"Umaumaumaumauma, "
she continued, still attempting
to formulate a "hello" or "hi"
Dr something.
He frowned at her, and said,
"Well, been nice talking to you.
Have to be going." He walked
on down the hall to parts
■unknown.
Her heart still racing, she
thought, oh, what ever am I to
do, I know he's the ojie I've
been waiting for.
AAarcBressler —
She danced merrily down the
hall in a state of total glee, like
sands through an hourglass, so
are the days of our lives.

OAA Donates Cultural Library
ByRODBEAUCHAMP
StaffWriter
The Black Service Organizat-
ion of Afro American Affairs
(OAA) has donated a library on
Black culture and its contribut-
ions to our society.
Adviser Dr. Samuel Bottoso
stresssed the psychological view
about blacks and whites. He
stated, "the culture between
blacks and whites is generally
the same." This library
stresses the cultural way of
blacks. Many whites have
suffered under the same
conditions as blacks, however
their experiences of life were
different. Inventions and great
contributions are part of black
culture.
"The library has a case
divided into three sections,"
Advisor Miss Jacqueline -Rouse
pointed out. "In the first
section there are maps of Africa
and its free and independent
countries. The second section is

the Red, Black and Green flag.
"The flags colors have
meaning," Miss Rouse contin-
ued." The black represents
Black people, the green means
land needed for home base or
'Mother Country' and the red
stands for the blacks that shed
their blood and died for freedom
in this world. Members of OAA
last year donated their Own
plaque, whicb sets in the middle
of the case,
Miss Rouse stated that the
flag represents the blacks'
awareness movement. In our
society brought about in the
1920's, Marcus Garvey a native
of Jamaica, founded the
Universal Improvement Assoc-
iation and African Cornmunities
(Imperial) League. Garvey, a
leader of the 1900's established
the flag in the 20' s, she
emphasized. "The blacks
weren't aware of this movement
until the 1960's.
Students Miss Rouse teaches
Afro American have many
opportunities to view the
library IN Room 83. Dr.
Brottoso stated "the library is
available for all interested
students. Students that -wish to
check out books may do so with
Miss Rouse in the Social Science
building top floor west."
Anyone with old papers or
books on black history are asked
to donate thera to the library.

FAU's ''Day" Successful

Virginia Kelly demonstrates the acupuncture treatment by
inserting a needle in her ear. She says varied treatments can
control drinking, smoking and eating problems.
Acupuncture Praised
By WINNIE KNIGHTON
StaffWriter
Virginia Kelly, who has been studying at PBJC part-time since
1965, has nothing but praise for acupuncture - the needle piercing
practice of -the ancient Chinese that has become popular in the
United States. This student had been suffering from back injuries
sustained in auto accident several years ago, when she saw Merv
Griffin undergo the needle treatment successfully for headache on
his talk show.
After about six months of studying the various aspects of this
method of therapy, her first treatment was arranged. It
immediately controlled the pain in her lower lumbar region,
although major spinal surgery had not accomplished this. Now she
can relax without complete bed rest.
Virginia now takes the treatments every two or three weeks from
Dr. Robert Liem, Lake Worth, who is a native of a small island near
the Phillipines, where they type of treatment is widely used. It
actually originated in China about 3,000 years ago. It is. very
imperative to have a thorough physical examination before starting
acupuncture, as it could be dangerous with certain illnesses.
Some treatments are painful and some are not. This depends on
where the needles are inserted and if there is any infection. An
extra incentive for some users of the needle is the staple-like
permanent fixture placed inside the ear that can control such habits
as drinking, smoking or eating. This student also had staples
inserted in her ears, and has lost about three pounds each week
and smoking has been curtailed to a large extent. This treatment
has also been very successful in the rehabilitation of drug addicts.
The iniection connects with the acuouncture avenues of the body.
Each session lasts about 30 minutes, and sometimes thei school
effects last for weeks.

Many students from PBJC
and other surrounding com-
munity colleges received a
warm welcome when they
arrived on Florida Atlantic
University campus Thursday,
October 10. This was their day,
and to prove it, booths were set
up in University Center and
many student organizations
were on hand to give
information.
There. was free ice cream and
the FAU Jazz Band played rock
on the Leviathan outdoor stage.
Steven Rimer, PBJC Art
Instructor, took his entire class
to this affair. Each student was
invited to visit the division of his
choice.
This school is an upper
Division and Graduate State
University located at Boca
Raton. It is about 22 miles south
of JC campus. There the new
concept is emphasized.
University Center has game and
recreation areas, meeting
rooms, headquarters for Stu-
dent Government, a publication
center for the student newspa-
per "Atlantic Sun", and a
literary magazine. It also
houses the snack bar, bookstore
and Rathskeller, where you may
"tip a few" while watching the
Dolphins on color television.
In addition to the Snack Bar
which is in the University
Center, full course meals are
served in the Cafeteria with or
without a meal plan. Several
meal plans are available,
however, for those students who
need them.
.The University residence
halls are air conditioned and
arranged in suite-like living
quarters with separate study
and sleeping rooms. Pets are
prohibited, but cooking and
refrigerators are allowed. If you
don't care to live in a hall with
visitation privileges, a closed
section is provided.
Your health fee, if you are a
full time student, pays for
routine outpatient and inpatient
care, over the counter medicat-
ions and psychological counsel-
ing.
Students with an A. A. degree
from Florida community and
junior colleges are guaranteed
admission to FAU. Students
who have this degree must
complete general education
requirement, and have a mini-
mum of 60 semester hours and
an overall grade point average
of 2.0 and good standing at last
institution attended.
U.S. shuns Metric Conversion
By LYNN KALBER
Feature Editor
"It's two kilometers from
here - you can't miss it." an
Englishman would reply if
asked for directions. Nowadays
an American would simply
shake his head at this, continue
on his way, and completely miss
his destination.
'Kilometers, liters, grams,
centimeters, decimeters, milli-
meters, meters, METERS,
METERS! The world is going to
meters - literally.
The U.S. is the last major
country to still be using the
miles, yards, and pounds
measuring system. However,
experts predict that will soon
change.
Already more . and more
.American companies measure
things in the universal metric
system and this tends to make
merchanise repairing tougher
for U.S. repairmen.
To keep up with this change,
the demand for knowledge of
the metric system is growing.
People want to learn their liters
and grams.
The major argument for the
adoption of the metric system is
that all measuring is based on
tens. This makes transferring
from one amount to another a lot
easier on the brain.
The major argument against
adopting the metric system is
that it's going to be hard to
convert from our former ways.
We want to keep our nice,
comfortable measuring system.
However, once over this bridge,
the rest of the way will be a lot
■ liter, I mean lighter.
So get out your meter sticks,
throw away your yards and
pounds, and measure like crazy.
Remember, one gram is equal
to .0022846 of a lb., one meter is
equal to 39.37 inches, one liter
is equal to 1.0567 qts. . .

Nurse LEGS In Action
By HOLLY GREENMAN
StaffWriter
LEGS is a four-letter word.
Nursing students swore that it was one of the worst programs
they had ever encountered, until they became more familiar with it.
LEGS (Learning Experience Guide for Students) began in
confusion early this term. Instructors and students alike say they
were hazy as to how the independent study program would work.
In this program, the student learns at his own pace. Filmstrips,
tapes, and books are available, and "participation in discussion
groups are encouraged.
The LEGS program puts the student directly into the hopsital
where study of class-to-patient situations may be applied. The
beginner is also allowed to become accustomed to hospital
atmosphere and get acquainted with the staff.
Another advantage of this program is that it allows students with
previous training as aides or orderlies to go beyond the class to
more advanced skills. Also the slower student may take more time
on particular problems, thus accomplishing a better understanding
of it.
A poll taken last week reveals that now most participants favor
LEGS over the regular class They are also more aware of the
material made available to tliem - particularly the campus lab.
The poll indicates that 95% of the students consider their
instructors to be outgoing and helpful; only SVi disagree.

AAovie Review-
Burt Coaches Cons
•John Auchterlonie-
Specific movies have specific
themes; some are dramas, some
are comedies and some have
good dialogue or excitement.
Whatever the case may be, no
one said that these were
essential elements to make a
good, entertaining movie. All
that is required is something
that appeals to the audience.
With that we have the "Longest
Yard."
The story ' takes place in a
prison, the subject is football
and Burt Reynolds is the star.
With his quick one liners this
combination points towards bold
humor; some are cliches, some
are crude, but all are done in
good taste.
Burt stars as a former pro
quarterback who hasn't played
football in eight years because
he was caught shaving points.
He steals his girlfriend's car
providing us with a quick action
packed chase scene. Then, as
he rests ata bar, he adds insult
to injury by using unnecessary
roughness on the arresting
officers.
When Burt meets his fellow
prisoners he observes some
"real cases," as they observe
him. Here, he learns that the
warden (Eddie Albert) is a
football fanatic. He wants
Reynolds to coach his semi-pro
football team comprised of
prison guards, but Burt ends up
forming a team from the
inmates.
The Internal and external
conflicts come to a climax when
Burt's Mean Machine meets the
guards in a pre-season tune-up
game.
The "Longest Yard" won't
overwhelm you from a literary
standpoint but it will entertain
you.
The script does not call for
any in-depth characterization;
the information about Reynolds
as, Paul Crew, "Superstar," is
provided in the first few opening
scenes. Burt's conflict is that,
"he's always had his 'stuff'
together but never could lift it."
Albert is simply obsessed with
winning., These conflicts are
resolved in the climactic football
game at tlie end of the movie.
What makes the "Longest
Yard' ' successful? Proximity
and tactful low-centered hum^
or. Burt Reynolds holds the
distinction of being the male sex
symbol from Palm Beach
County and a former JC
student, as well. The movie is

Weather
Report
By JIMMY NEAl
Staff Writer
The highly evolved artistic
music of Weather Report is of a
very wide range and therefore
impossible to place into any
single category.
The album opens with ten and
a half liiinutes of very heavy,
constantly moving, funky rhy-
thm created by two drummers,
Ishmael Wilburn and Skip
Hadden; Afro-Latin percuss-
ionist Don Um Romao; and the
rest of the band. This exciting
song, "Nubian Sundance"
typifies traditional tight Weat-
her Report funk.
The second cut, "American
Tango", is a slow, mellow,
beautiful song with the melody
being established by synthesi-
zer then backed up and
improvised on by Wayne
Shorter on tenor sax.
"Cucumber Slumber" is the
album's best selection and
features the extraordinary
fantastic double bass work of
Alphonso Johnson and Miioslav
Vitous, a jazzy, tasteful electric
piano solo by Josef Sawinul and
the wailing sax of Shorter.
The title number, "Myster-
ious Traveller", is very
musically involved and full of
complicated rhythms and time
changes. The piano takes the
"Mysterious" theme of the
song while the other insttu-
ments "travel" for about seven
minutes - and its really a trip.
"Scarlet Woman", "Black-
thorn Rose", and "Jungle
Book" are other numbers on the
album,
"Mysterious Traveller" is
definitely an album for the
up-to-date music listener.
The music of Weather Report
is not easy to forecast eitlier.
New Lights Instolled
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Entertainment Editor
With the installation of the "Electronic
Lighting Control System", the theater
department has the majority of the facilities in
the auditorium upgraded.
The new lighting system is being installed and
assembled by Herb Schmoll, President of Design
Line, Inc. of Tampa. Schmoll said the three
phase, 300 ampere system compares to
controlling about 900 one-hundred watt light
balbs.
He went on to say that it has about "the same
amount of power as used on controlling ten
houses." The 30 dimmer system is "about as
up-to-date as any school's in the state."
The "Electronic Lighting Control System" is
basically similiar to the equipment at Walt
Disney World near Orlando. Design Line, Inc,
has several lighting systems in operation in the
■'Magic Kingdom", with the most recent
installed at the Frontier Saloon in the
campground.
"Art (Musto) bought the second dimmer board
1 ever sold," said Schmoll, refering to the initial
purchase by the college.
His company this year has done a healthy
quarter of a million worth of business.
This JC purchase is part of a five year plan to
update the auditorium's technical department.
When completed, Schmoll said, the entire
installation of the new equipment would be
approximately $15,000.
■ Art Musto, technical director of the theater,
commented, "before we were running lights on a
wing and a prayer. This professional system is
adding a new dimension to the theater program.
"it gives the students an opportunity to
operate sophisticated equipment."
He also stated that the system makes the
operation much smoother. "The new lighting
system greatly improves the safety standards of
the Auditorium.,"
The light board is not ready to be placed in
operation, but the rest of the lights should be
functioning the opening night of "The Sign in
Signey Brustein's Window", Nov. 7, two weeks
from Thursday.

props for November's production of "The Sign In
Sidney Brustein's Wtadow."
Frankly Speaking-
What Is A Commercial
Television is full of commer-
cials, while commercials are full
of. . .well, whatever it takes to
fill up a commercial.
Some of them contain
psychological phrases intended
to make one think that he is the
only one not using a particular
product.
"You've all heard the
phrases, "The car they'll all be
driving" "The movie everyone
is seeing." "The book, or look,
everyone's reading or wearing"
And they work! If I hadn't seen
the "exorcist", read "Jonathan
Livingston Seagull", or bought
a pair of platform shoes, I'd
really feel left out. (economics
allow me an excuse for not
owning a '74 Porsche)!
These salesmen are really
clever, as evidenced by the
great advertising line, "Coca'
Cola is Coke!"
One shaving cream company's
commercial has the best line
I've heard in a long time on
television. A shaved face is a
kissable one, imploring the
listener to "Turn your face into
a kisser!"
Back to the psychological
aspects, we have the implication
that to buy any care but a
Chevrolet is to be un-American,
why? "Chevrolet makes sense
for America!" they tell us. The
rest of the companies don't
make sense even theough they
have better ideas. (Actually I
don't think that Ford makes
■-Frank Smith —
much sense for America either,
but that's getting political.)
Then, there's the little things
that bug me about commercials;
the fact that 7- up can think of
nothing better to say about it's
produee than that it's not a cola!
(unfortunately)
The way an airline says that
they'ir'move their tails for me"
but say nothing about moving
luggage.
Or another airline who's
stewardess says, "Hi, I'm
Sheryl, fly me!" and says
nothing about how much I have
to pay for the privilege.
Commercials have some
worth; it's all in theway you look
at them, but it seems they are
best when not looked upon at
all.

Play Set Readied
By BECKY MORSE
Staff Writer
Many hours and hard work
are being put into the set
construction for "The Sign in
Sidney Brustein's Window" the
drama department's presenta-
tion Nov. 7-11, and the 14th.
The setting for "Window" is
a typical Greenwich Village
apartment which consists of a
Bohemian atmosphere and a
sort of artistic air.
According to Mr. Art Musto,
technical director of the play,
the first step in construction is
to analyze, the play and
determine the requirements for
the action to take place. Also
taken into consideration is the
environment needed to set the
moods.
Furthermore, the budget is
evaluated to see what funds are
available to spend on props. All
money comes from the revenue
of box office sales. A ground
plan is then sketched to lay out
the position of the props.
The construction began five
weeks ago with the students
from stage craft and cast
members working two nights
per week and every afternoon.
After the final production, the
crew begins the task of tearing
down the set and storing the
reuseable material for future
productions.
Future Features
By Flick Magermm^
«
Pisces; Machines and appliances cause trouble. Your car
could refuse to start; your waterbed might spring a leak.
Chemicals^ have a profounder effect than usual.
Aries: Of prime importance is trying to understand other
people and giving them the benefit of the doubt. Don't let
frustrations make you lose your temper - they're not worth the
hassle.
Taurus: This week has a gray, drab aspect. Everything you
try to start fizzles. Money could help - work toward getting
some. Financial aspect is favorable.
Gemini: New styles, thoughts, appreciations surround you.
Closeness is highlighted; the more worth you see in someone,
the more there is to see.
Cancer: You seem awkward. The taste of your foot in your
mouth is becoming familiar. Don't give up - this will pass.
Watch your step, literally.
Leo! A delusion of importance and competence could lead
you into a dangerous effort. Take the practical view if you
couldn't before, why should you now? Contact someone
who's on yoiir mind.
Virgo: The value is not always where you think it should be.
■A special person is in your picture. Resist a temptation to be
silly.
Libra: If no one seems to understand you, it's probably true -
they don't. Be as clear and precise as you can during this
fuzzy, unclear period.
Scorpio: A trying weekend dissolves into a week of increasing
activifies. You become involved in parties and fes.tivities.
People believe what you say - unfortunately for them.
Sagittarius: Lighten the twilight in your attutude. Darkness
gets you nowhere. Allow your natural light to show through,
and unexpected inter- personal results will be seen.
Capricorn: A threat is made against you. It's not serious, but
the misunderstanding has got to be cleared up or it will

Ed Everett's Goal: The Nationals
Photo by Jay Kravetz
Ed Everett reflects on his chaaces for the national cross country
champiomhips.
—On The Run — —
Ed Everett knows the trail to
the National Junior College
Cross Country Championships
is a long one, but if anyone can
cover that long trail quickly, it's
a distance runner.
Everett ran for Broward
Community College last year
and missed going to the
nationals by only a few places.
"I didn't want it badly enough
last year but this year will be
different. I practiced hard this
summer and ran with the Fort
Lauderdale Roadrunners, a
track club, and won a few
races," explained Everett.
BCC gave up cross country
after the 1973 season, making
Everett a runner without a
team. He heard that JC needed
runners so he came here to run.
"I didn't want my future as a
runner to go down the drain."
"This season has been a
disappointment so far, but I
always come through in the big
meets." said Everett.
Evidence of how badly
Everett wants to succeed is the
amount of practice he puts in.
"I try to get 110 miles of
running a week." says Everett.
He believes that cross
country, in the long run, will
help him have a better track
season saying, "Cross country
is my bread and track's my
butter."
Everett's biggest hope is to go
to the national championship.
With all those miles behmd
him, the trail to the Nationals
must look shorter and shorter all

Walker Takes 4th
Lack of depth and experience hampered the newly formed
women's golf team in the Falconette Invitational held at the
Hollywood Lakes Country Club, October 10 and 11.
Miami Dade North won the meet with a score of 621, followed by
Rollins, 633; University of Miami, 638; Florida State University,
722; Palm Beach 733; and Florida International University 750.
"We finished fifth out of six teams," said Dr. Howard Reynolds.
"We would have finished better than that, but our number four
golfer. Donna Marotta, hurt her wrist in an auto accident on October
2."
"The women's team has two outstanding golfers. One of them
Colleen Walker," is as good as anyone around" said Reynolds.
In the 36-hold tournament. Walker shot a 76 and a 79 for a 155
and finished in fourth place. ■^
Walker is an outstanding women golfer and is capable of national
recognition," said Reynolds.
The other outstanding golfer is Linda Moore. She finished 15th
with an 85 the first day and a 79 the second day to finish with a'l64.
"Those two girls can compete with anyone, Linda will average
around 80." said Reynolds.
The number three golfer on the Pacer team is Sara Marsh. She
shot a 95 the first day and a 93 the second for a 188.
The number four golfer is Joyce Pruett. Joyce shot a 116 the first
day and a 110 the next for a 226,
If, by winter term the girls are able to shoot 80 or below, we
should be very competitive with the other schools," said Reynolds.
Reynolds continued, "One main problem right now is that we do
not have a. women's golf coach. Hopefully, next year we will be able
to get one'."
leadership abilities."
Wright said he preferred to
pick the team captains instead
of letting the team vote on the
issue because the team vote
tends to result in a popularity
contest.
The team is working on basic
individual and team fundamen-
tals in their early practices.
"We are stressing practice in
each boy's weakness," said
Wright. "We want to improve
each boy's all-around game."
Wright said the team is also
working on group fundamentals
like passing and rebounding.
"We want to work hard in
these areas because that is
where we were weak last year,"
said Wright.
The squad was shortened by
one player as forward prospect,
Jerry Blade, left the team to
return to his home in Ohio.
Blade was a teammate of
Brandon in high school and was
highly recommended by him.
"Jerry is a good ballplayers,"
said Brandon. "I think he
would have been a big help to
the team."
Wright and Athletic Director,
Howard Reynolds share the
same feelings about Blade but
sympathize with his reasons for
leaving.
"This is the first time Jerry
has been away from home and
he got a little homesick," said
Reynolds.

After trying to get organized for seven weeks, the league folded

"The teams that did form never seemed to get together to play,"
said Roy Bell, director of intramurals.
This is the first year that the flag-tag football has suffered from
apathy. In the past, the activity has drawn 10 to 12 teams for the
league.
The league was to compete on Monday afternoons on the field
which is located south of the gym.

Max Allee has replaced
Dr. Harold Manor as the
Faculty Senate Chairman.
The announcement, made
during an emotional October
17 meeting, was oversha-
dowed by heated debate and
disregard for parliamentary
procedure.
Debate was started when
Senator Schmiederer read a
letter from Mr. R. Gross
requesting removal of secre-
cy from Instructor of
Distinction evaluations and
the revelation of total scores,
I'
] '
^(l
including the scores for last
year.
Mr. Barton, chairman of
the IDA committee, respond-
ed by saying, "The Commit-
tee considers it a breach of
faith to reveal department
scores or peer evaluation,
since individaul overall
scores could compromise
these scores. It is also a
breach to reveal the overall
scores."
Mrs. Vignau, vice-chair-
man of the senate, yielded
the floor to Mr. Gross, who is
not a senator. According to
the senate parliamentarian
Watson B. Duncan, this was
in violation of parliamentary
procedure. No senator ob-
jected however and Gross
took the floor.
"It's very poor logic to
assume that I know my total
score. I would then know my
individual score and I fail to
see how this could compro-
mise those scores. For my
own personal reasons I would
like to have my total scores."
stated Gross.
Mr. Washburn motioned
that the total scores be given
to Gross. Barton amended
the motion asking the scores
'i
jks^tj y^j
! '■ !
be given to each individual
faculty member.
A vote was taken on the
amended motion, and in
violation of the senate
constitution, the item was
passed on the first readipg.
Senate Constitution states
that a vote is not taken until
after the second reading at a
subsequent meeting. In-
formed sources say that an
objection to the IDA motion
will be raised at the next
senate meeting.
Dr. Manor announced
Allee as the new Faculty
Senate Chairman and turned
the gavel over to Allee. At
that moment a more than 10
year reign by Dr. Manor
came to an end.
The changeover culminat-
ed a debate which began this
year over who should be the
new chairman. During de-
bate some senators were
claiming that the vice-chair-
man should automatically
secceed to the chair. This
idea, however r e c.e i v e d
little support and paved the
way to the election which
Allee won.

SG DEBATES SENATE PRIVILEGES
ByJoelTanen
StaffWriter
The Student Government
Senate debated Thursday for
well over an hour on a Bill of
Appropriations which if
passed would give SG
senators special privileges
(honorariums) over other JC
students.
The debate centered
around which articles of the
bill should be voted on or
sent to various committees
for research. Senate bill
(74-001) introduced by Sen-
ator James Boger, has been
sent back to the Finance
Committee and the Resolu-
tions Committee twice in the
past two weeks.
According to Article I of
the bill, Senators would

Allee Serves Students
By Brian E. Crowley
News Editor
Max Allee, a young,
energetic social science
instructor, believes that the
ultimate purpose of the
faculty senate is to serve the
students. "That's what the
hell it's all about," says the
new faculty senate chairman.
Allee wants the faculty
senate to work very closely
with student government
and with the student body as
a whole.
Allee sees his job as
chairman realistically. "I
think some people felt
inhibited with Dr. Manor as
chairman and wouldn't
speak; now we should be
more open," added Allee,
"there are some people,
however, who couldn't care
less about the senate."
spaces, special automobile
decals, a special name tag,
and each Senator would get
$50 per semester.
"I will tell you right now,
that without a committee set
up to determine who on their
own persorival merits is
eligible for this honorarium
and special privileges, I
promise you I will veto it."
said SG President Tory
Buckley.
"There is no evaluation
committee set up, and I do
not believe that Senators
who follow just the guide-
lines of the Constitution a;re
eligible for honorariums,
because they'll come in her
and just sit here and do
nothing. You have to have
some motivation for them,"
added Buckley.
Each part of the bill was
voted on separately and
passed.
Buckley stated after the
meeting that he wasn't sure
whether he would veto the
bill or not. Even if he does
veto the law, the Senate has
the right to override his veto
by a two-thirds vote of all
senators.
Last week. Senator Dave
Upshaw was elected Presi-
dent Pro Temporary, Senator
Sam Putt withdrew from the
election saying he didn't !
"have enough time" to hold
another position.
The SG Senate also passed;
a resolution pertaining to
road signs which stated tki ;
certain signs on Congresi;
Avenue and Lake Worth
Road have been destroyed bt,

The resolution asked that iLe'

Executive Board Debate Angry
Max Allee
A member of the United
Faculty, Allee is not sure
what role the senate will play
in the upcoming salary
negotiations. "This is all
new," says Allee.
Asked if the number of
successive terms of senators
should be limited, Allee
wasn't sure but stated, "I
think it would be a good idea
to rotate. Some senators who .
are there too long may get
some kind of feeling of

Student Government's Ex-
ecutive Board discussed a
variety of topics at the
October 22 and 29 meetings.
The Executive Board
discussed tentative plans for
converting the north SAC
lounge into a game room.
They hope to purchase pool
tables, pin ball machines, air
hockey games, and possibly
ping pong tables if space
permits.
The Board considered
using profits to hire two
supervisors to be present in
the game room at all times.
The remaining profits would
go into a scholarship fund.
President Tory Buckley is
negotiating with Florida
Music Company, which
would provide the machines.
He hopes to have a report
ready within a couple of
weeks.

Sales Management Gets Blood
By Robin Witt
StaffWriter
Wednesday, Oct. 30, the Sales
Management Club sponsored a blood drive.
103 people volunteered, 83 were able to give
and 83 pints were collected.
Although the goal was 100 pints
Mrs. Chapman, a medical technologist for
the Palm Beach Blood Bank siad the drive
"was excellent, the cooperation of the
students was wonderful. Everything turned
out beautifully."
Mrs. Chapman also stated that a request
for 12 platelets (clotting factor in blood)
was fulfilled
A' pint of blood given to the blood bank
entitles the donor and his/her immediate
family to as much blood as is needed for a
year at no cost to them. The only cost
would be that of the transfusing process.
It takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes
for the entire process to be completed,
which included the taking of your
temperature, a medical history, a blood test
and the actual giving of the blood.
People on the average have 9 to 10 pints of
blood and the loss of one is of no
significance.
The fluids of the blood are. replaced within
24 hours and the iron content is replaced in 3
to 4 weeks. Blood can be given every 56days
(2 months) and as often as 5 times a year.
"I'd like to remind the students that if
they didn't give they can give in April, at the
school, or they can come to the Blood Bank.

You've just been told
you're going to die. What is
your initial reaction? Fear?
Shock? Cold shivers up your
spine?
According to Dr. Richard
E. Yinger, instructor for the
new course, Death aild
Dying, "Death should" be a
joyous, fascinating happen-
ing; consequently it's a
concept which is made out to
be the most feared experi-
ence in our society today."
At that meeting, Yinger
discussed the attitudes and
thoughts on death and dying
in American society.He
considered the basic issue of
life and death and gave an
overview of what was to be
covered in the weeks to
come.
"I started my fascination
with death," Yinger explain-
ed, "while I was an
undergraduate. I began to
realize that life is a joke and
that the contemplation of
death is an integral,
necessary component in the
contemplation of life."
Despite attempted sup-
pression, Yinger' s class was
finally granted and he
himself did not expect such
an enthusiastic turnout.
In teaching the course,
Yinger hopes to convey the
framework of death as
being positive and beautiful,
while seeking the nature
and purpose of human
existence.
"People all too often tend to
associate death and dying
with black shrouds, goblins,
and Halloween," Yinger'
continued! "What we are
trying to distinguish is that
you cannot destroy life, only
transform it."
He cited the fact that when
a body dies, it doesn't
disapppear, it simply
changes from solid to hquids
and gasses.
"The only way to remove
something from this planet is
to send it out of the
atmosphere," , he said",
"otherwise, it just changes
forms and is recycled back
into the soil."
In future meetings, which
will be held every Tuesday
night at 7 p.m. until Nov. 12,
professionals from thie com-
muntiy will speak, discus-
sing the practical realities of
death such as legal, financial
procedural and the liturgy
and religious approaches.
In the final session,
participants, will exchange
views in order to develop the
ability to discuss death and
dying.
A summary of materials
covered, suggestions for
further readings and
possible future seminars in
related areas will be
discussed in the final
seminar.
Yinger is a Doctor of
Philosophy with a degree in
Sociology and an M.S. in
Economics from Florida
State University. He also has
a B.S. in Social Sciences
from Millerville State Col-
lege of Pennsylvania.
Beachcomber, Media Win ACP Awards
By Bruce Moore
Associate Editor
Awards presented to the
Beachcomber and Media,
JC's literary magazine,
highlighted the 50th annual
American Collegiate Press
convention held October
24-26 in Hollywood's Diplo-
rnat Hotel.
Competing in Division
"B" of the Florida Junior
College Press Association's
twelfth annual newspaper
and magazine contests, the
'Comber received eight
awards, while Media placed
in seven contests.
Students of the vnnter
term Beachcomber staff
were awarded two first
prizes, three second prizes,
and three third prizes.
Both first place prizes
were awarded in the photo
department, with Debbie
Huhn's Best News Photo of a
gas crises collage, and Joel
Davies' iconception of a
wheelchair discuss thrower
in the Best Sports Photo
competition.
Second place efforts came

Manor Says JC Needs One
Future JC expansion into
•Campuses at Palm Beach
Gardens and Belle Glade
"depends to a large extent on
"^bter approval of Amend-
*>ient One in Tuesday's
^lection, according to JC
^resident Dr. Harold C.
■Manor.
At a recent news confer-
ence. Manor indicated that
^lie present main campus has
*^een built largely through a
"^tate bonding program,
^hich the passage of
"'^VjTiendment One will contm-
^e, that has been approved
^y voters twice before, in
1963, and 1969.
Under the program, the
^tate issues bonds for school
Construction at area voca-
*• tional-technical centers,
"^ornmunity colleges and
Universities, and allows
these bond funds to be used
additionally for construction
and renovation of elementary
and secondary school build-
ings.
"The amendment calls for
no new taxes," said Manor,
"and we know of no
opposition to it."
"Our only fear is that
voters will not understand
what the amendment is, and
that it is virtually the only
source of revenue for
construction at the college."
Bond funds, from which
the state bonding program
would allocate grants, come
from the gross receipts tax.
The gross receipts tax is a
IVz percent tax paid by
utilities and municipalities
on the gross amount of their
receipts.
All Central Campus build-
ings, with the exception of
the Criminal Justice Building
Institute and the Library
Learning Resources Center,
have been largely funded
with money from the state
bonding program, stated
Manor.
"It would be possible for
the state legislature to
appropriate money for junior
college construction directly
from the general revenue of
the state," Manor said, "but
experience has shown that
legislatures are reluctant to
do this."
Manor concluded that,
"As a consequence, it is very
important if the junior
college system is going to
serve the interest of our
students, that Amendment
One be approved Tuesay."
General Column ("Sexism In
Class," by winter term
Editor J. Michele Notter).
In commenting on Ms.
Notter 's column, the judge
'said, "It would seem to be
difficult to write a regular
column based on one theme -
the woman's movement. Ms.
Notter blows a fresh breeze
onto the subject. She makes
you care."
Former 'Comber Sports
Editor Robin PHtt copped
two third place awards, for
Best Sports Reporting ("Pa-
cers Finish Number Two"),
and Best Sports Column (an
"On The Run" satire on
referees).
Winter Term Business
Manager Jimmy Griffis won
third place in the Best
Advertising Layout category
for an ad concerning Joel's
Lounge.
Also competing in Division
"B," Media staffers were
awarded three first prizes,
two seconds, and two thirds.
First places were awarded
for Best Cover (Paul Aho),
Best Poem (Barbara Throck-
morton), and Best Non-Fic-
tion (Lauren Thatcher).
Two second prizes were
for Best Illustration (Nancy
Craig), and Best Photogra-
phy (Joel Davies).
The two third place awards
were for Best Fiction (Alan
Lee), and the staff's
typography and layout.

er Graham announces that
Media is again offering $300
in prizes for the 1974-1975
issue, which is to appear
next April. Contributions
should be given to Graham in

Askew Worfhy
Of Reelection
Reubin G'Donovan Askew has proven himself one of the
finest governors Florida has ever had in Tallahassee.
Florida has had four years of honest, open government in
the public interest -- at a time when governmental officials
are being indicted right and left for their wrongdoings.
"Reubin Hood" has stolen from the rich (corporate
profits tax) and given to the poor (revenue surpluses have
permitted new school construction).
His antagonist, Jerry Thomas, the Banker of
Nothinghum, has criticized the governor for being ultra-
liberal and expanding state government too much.
Askew is for (and Thomas is against) 18 year old
rights, open-dorm policies at state universities, and school
busing. Askew is for tlie Equal Rights Amendment;
Thomas has yet to decide publicly.
Thomas has accused Askew of mismanagement of the
state's finances. One look at current banking conditions
under conservatives such as Thomas (who is chairman of a
bank-holding company) causes us to wonder if a
Thomas-run government would be anything less than
linancial chaos.
Askew's selection for Ueutenant governor, state Senator
Jim WUliams, wiU be an asset to the governor, and a
welcome replacement for now-Lt. Gov. Tom Adams.
Reubin Aikew has earned and deserves the public's
vote on Nov. 5.

The Beachcomber Editorial Board announces the
appointment of Bruce Moore as Associate Editor for the

Member Defends Stoneharp;
Wants To Set Story Straight
Editor:
I am writing this letter
pertaining to an article in
your Oct, 21 issue which
contained misleading infor-
mation about our rock group
"Stoneharp" as stated by
Dean Bursey (Manager of
another band, "Dusen-
berry").
At the last board meeting,
Bursey stated that "Stone-
harp," was a "copy" band
whereas his group played
only original songs and was a
so-called "budding" group.
He also said his group's goal
was to become a "big name"
group.
I admire his optimism and
arrogance but would like to
set the record straight.
First, "Stoneharp" uses
its own material as well as
other artists' songs. I never
heard that the formula for a
successful band was to
play strictly original crea-
tions.
Secondly, "Stoneharp"
agreed to play both concerts
for $200,. not $260.
"Dusenberry" is just as
much a "copy" band as any
other. I'm positive theyc
not write the song "Talc:'
Care of Business" as wei.
many others.
We, as fellow musicij:
would have appreciated it
they would've remaiu'
honest on this matter, '.

quiet, relaxed, at digestion-inducing atmosphere?. >

Non-Cooperafion Child of ZPO
Editor:
Do you favor Zero Population Growth?
Probably. People who seek higher education
are likely to be more socially cooperative and
more responsive to ideas for improving the
quality of hfe than those who do not.
Here lies danger. Should you decide to
limh your family to mere replacement level,
those not so cooperative will gradually
inundate the remnants of persons who
practice ZPG. And, should catastrophe iic;,
befall the human race, governments will stili
find it imperative to control population b '
edict. i
In this fashion the race will lose a larg;'
proportion of its most cooperative member.' -
and, in the far future, hurt its chances fo'
ultimate survival.

Editorial
Rallies Gould Make Difference
or
A pamphlet on a. doorknob
a brochure under a
windshield wiper can hardly
take the place of meeting a
candidate face to . face. The
recent JC Repubhcan, Dem-
ocratic and American Party
Days gave voters a chance to
do just this.
With almost all major
candidates represented, stu-
dents and the public got a
good chance to do their
political homework.
The JC Political Union, led
by Edwin Pugh, Social
Science instructor, also
provided voters with a rare
opportunity to hear the
issues and compare candi-
dates-a process necessary
for responsible voting.
Many times, candidates
and their campaign workers
actually outnumber the
voters coming to these
rallies.
Although the number of
students participating in
the Party Day raUies was
small compared to JC's total
enrollment, voter interest
was shown. Perhaps a voter
or two will also be persuaded
to go to the polls because of
actual contact with the
candidates.
Secretary of State Dorothy
Glissen predicts a 70% voter
turnout in tomorrow's elec-
tion. This would be a big
improvement over the 20%
voter turnout in the Oct. 1
run-offs. These meet-the-
candidates rallies coj
make a difference.
Beach Bond Bingo . . .
Voters To Decide On Acquisition
Passage by voters Tuesday
of Bond Elections-Position 8
would add 2.5 miles of beach
and allow for the develop-
ment of three exisiting parks
and addhional park acquisi-
tion in Palm Beach County.
The Beachcomber lUrges
passage of this measure.
Proposed by the Palm
Beach County Commission,
the bond issue would cost
county tax payers $50 million
over a 30 year period. County
planners estimate the tax
increastper person at about
$4 to $5 annually.
Calling it a "now or never
situation" the Palm Beach
County Planning Depart-
ment has been campaigning
intensively for the bond's
passage.
In a special release to the
Beachcomber the county
planners note that, "It is
because of the current
inflationary period that the
public has the opportunity to
acquire additional beach
front."
"Developers are ready
and willing to sell their
property because develop-
ment is almost impossible.
This economic fact places the
county in an extremely good
bargaining position provid-
ing the bond issue passes
Tuesday."
According to the planners,
recommended expenditures
of the $50 milhon is to be as
follows:
80% " Acquisition
10% "Development
10% - Maintenance and
Contingencies
Improvements and acqui-
sitions are to be made in
parks such as Morakami,
Boca Raton, Okeechobee,
Fahokee and also the
Loxahatchee River area.
At present the county
owns 7.25 miles of beaches.
Edwin Pugh
The
Amendments:
All Deserve Passage
The Beachcomber recommends that a "yes" vote be
given to all seven amendments on the Nov. 5 ballot.
AMENDMENT 1 - This amendment proposes to extend
the state's authority to issue bonds for construction of
learning institutions including community colleges, and
universities (see related story, page 3). The amendment
would also cover elementary and secondary schools if
passed.
These bonds are backed by a gross receipts tax paid by
utilities, which doesn't mean a higher tax or a new tax for
the public. '
If the amendment passes, students will have better
education.
AMENDMEIST 2 - Too many voters will take this
amendment to be an increase in gasoline tax, which it
isn't. The measure provides for an extension of the tax
from the year 2009 in which it expires to the proposed
2025. It also extends the purposes nf the bonds for to cover
mass transit as well as road construction,
AMENDMEIVT 3 - This amendment is rather simple,
changing the name of the office of "Tax Assessor" to
"Property Appraiser", It is simply a measure to clarify
the role of the present Tax Assessor office, which doesn't
levy taxes at all. That is up to the school board and county
commission. We feel the clarification should be made,
AMENDMENT 4 - Under the provisions of this
amendment, the Game and Fresh Water Commission
would become subject to the budgetary control of the
legislature. It is presently independent of any such
control.
Since there is no reason for the commission to be
independent and not subject to regulation like other state
agencies, we urge passage of this amendment.
AMENDMENT 5 - We recommend voting for this
amendment, which gives the Judicial Qualifications Board
a broader power base to in its quest to keep the judiciary in
proper form.
AMENDMENT 6 - This amendment would _ grant
municipalities the authority to join with private utilities in
the construction and operation of power plants. Without
such authority, the cost is sometimes too much for these
municipalities to bear. The consumer should benefit from
a "Yes" vote.
AMENDMENT 7 ■ This aniendment provides that "no
person be denied any right iDCcause of "a physical
handicap." Thousands of disabled Floridians are striving
to improve themselves through education, work, family
participation, and other important aspects of life. While
this amendment will not solve all their problems, it will
open a few more doors, and should be passed.
With the addition of 2.5
miles of beach the county
will still be below the State of
Florida beach requirement
standards. According to the
state, with a projected
population of 516,400 for
1975, the county should have
12.4 miles of beach.
By 1980, if present
population growth continues,
the county would need 17
miles of beaches, and by
1990 the estimate is that 25
miles of beaches are needed.
The County Planning
Department feels that addi-
tional efforts must be
directed at alternate means
of achieving puWic access
along the Atlantic beachfront
so that the county can come
closer to the 12.4 miles of
beaches needed by 1975.
Should the bond issue
pass, the county would still
be 2.65 miles short of the
12.4 mile goal.
In requesting additional
beach-acquiring efforts, the
planners have recommended
certain criteria to be followed
in the purchase of additional
beachfront:
a.) Beach parcels should
be adjacent to current
pubhc beaches or be large
enough to permit develop-
ment, maintenance and
operation as significant
public beaches in their
own right.
b) Access by the mainland
population should be
reasonably available.
Priority should be given
to acquisition near the
ends of east/west arterial
roads.
c)The beach itself should
be useful and safe
d)Access tp already exisit-
ing public beach lands
should be retained.

Comber Election Report
Endorsements:
G.Lewis
As we endorsed Gerald
Lewis in the Democratic
primary, we also give himour
support in the November 5
general election.
Lewis, a former state
senator and Miami lawyer,
will be a valuable addition to
the state cabinet, and a
welcome successor to Fred
Dickinson.
He has pledged to seek
reforms in the state" banking
system, includingthe dispen-
sing of bank charters.
His opponent, William
Muntzing, was an assistant
to Claude Kirk for three
years. '.
Sebesta Winchester
Five years of experience as
Hillsborough County's su-
pervisor of elections makes
Republican James Sebesta
the best choice for Secretary
of State.
His opponent. Democrat
Bruce Smathers, has no
elections experience-a vital
point since the secretary of
state is Florida's chief
elections officer.
Sebesta started the first
fulitime mobile registration
unit in Florida and initiated a
variety of voter reforms.
His outstanding public
service record indicates hs is
much better qualified than
his opponent for this
important cabinet post.
It should be without
hesitancy that voters pull the
lever to return Jackie
Winchester to her position of
Supervisor of Elections.
Mrs, Winchester has
proven herself by reducing
her budget, returning effi-
ciency to the elections
department, and providing
new incentives for voter
registration. Her opponent's
lack of experience and his
behef that the data proces-
sing arm of the election
return system : is properly
managed is a plus for Mrs.
Winchester.
A vote for Jackie Win-
chester will be a vote for
continuing election supervi-
sion in the proper manner.

insurance.
Dr. John Grady was the
sole representative of the
American Party during their
day October 24. Grady, a
candidate for the United
States Senate, spoke to about
150 students in the SAC
lounge.
Grady called "economic
instability" the biggest
problem in this country. "In
some parts of this country
there's a depression and in
others a recession," added
Grady, "Maybe together,
you and I can stop America's
retreat from greatness."
Edwin Pugh, faculty
advisor to the Political
Union, considered the know-
your-candidate days a big
success. "I feel the students
are mature enough to look
people over and make their
own opinions."

Science Ciub campers take a break and relax as they
begin their weekend.
Prices "Pop" Up
What is a movie without
popcorn? The crunchy ker-
nels are as much a part of
show "biz" as the films
themselves. But, woe to
movie-goers! Popcorn is
following the lead of beef,
gas, sugar, toilet paper, etc.;
there will soon be a shortage
of it.
This upcoming scarcity is a
result of the poorest com
harvest in several years.
Cost of producing the corn
has almost doubled, which
inevitably means a price
increase.
If that isn't enough, one
must also consider that
prices of ingredients needed
to make popcorn have also
increased.
... -i'v-^^v; .
Popcorn should be enjoyed
now since it is still plentiful
enough to maintain current
prices. It will continue to be
sold at the movies in the
future months, however
supply will probably be
limited. About the price?
Well, that will be the hardest
part of it to swallow!
Scholarship Concert
The concert choir, band, and orchestra will be
performing November 17 at 4 p.m. in the Auditorium
for the annual Scholarship Concert.
This is the only concert for which a fee is charge. The
fee is $1.60 for students and $2 for adults. Allthe funds
from the concert go into scholarships for music students
to further their education.
Well-known works such as Bach's chorale "Now
Thank we all Our God" accompanied by the organ and
piano, and "Aria in G" done in an up tempo jazz
arrangement also by Bach are planned. "0 Clap Your
Hands by R. Vaughnn Williams is another of the
many selections on the program.

Again the caravan of
Science Club members left
from JC ready for another
field trip. Twenty-six mem-
bers left Friday afternoon,
headed for Ocala National
Forest to camp in the Juniper
Springs Campground.
According to Mr. Richard
Gross, co-moderator, every-
thing was very well organiz-
ed. The campsite was
reserved, and the tents were
pitched before nightfall.
Seven male students with the
intention of "roughing it"
occupied one tent with all the
comforts of home, including
cots, a stove, and a heater.
Rising bright and early
Saturday morning, the camp-
ers rented canoes and
paddled down the Juniper
Springs Run. Everyone
commented on the beauty of
the run, and as Gross put it,
"the water was crystal clear
from beginning to end,
reminding us of scenes from
the movie. The Yearling'
when we saw a few deer."
Other wildlife they encount-
ered included large turtles,"
and because of the clear
water, many fish. In many
sports the bubbling of the
springs in the stream was
seen.
From an ecological point of
view, the canoers saw areas
where the tornadoes had hit
last summer. "It created an
erie feeling to see the giant
hardwoods turned over."
said Gross. "But the new
growth could be seen, even
though it had only been a few
months."
At the end of the run,
many canoers were treated
to the surprise of an old
Science Club tradition.
Standing nonchalantly on a
small bridge above the
water. Gross and a few
others appeared quite harrri'
less until they jumped off
onto the rest of the canoers,
turning them into the waler.
That night, surrounding
the campfire, the campers
were treated to off- beat
country-western music prO'
vided by Claude Steelman or
guitar. Also helping with the
singing was Mr. Kopf, who
according to club president,
Dan Fried, knew every soup
they sang. When asked for a
description of the trip, Dan
rephed, "Outrageous."
Froternity In Action
Phi Da Di, a campus fraternity, has chosen it's
officers and is looking for new members.
This year's officers are: President - Steve Marttinen,
Vice Presidnet - Jeff Driggers, Treasurer - Junn
iMartorell, Secretary - Jerry Kreucher, Sergeanl-at-
Arms - Greg Nash.
The fraternity meets Sunday evenings at 7 p.m. in
the SAC lounge. Presently, plans are being made for the
Sweetheart Ball, but they need more funds from
Student Government, according to Jeff Driggers, Phi
DaDiVP.
"All newcomers are welcome; the pledges are going
to be easy this year," stated Jeff. He feels the present
small membership is due to lack of communication
among students about fraternities.
The members of the club feel that the organization
will become stronger with an increase in membership.

Palm Beach County stu-
dents were given the unique
opportunity to go shopping
for the college or career of
their choice recently at the
Palm Beach Mall.
Sixty-three senior colleges
from nine southeastern
states entered exhibits at the
annual College and Career
Days, formerly a one-day
affair held at PBJC.
The County wide effort,
sponsored by the Palm
County Counselor's Associa-
tion this year, emphasized
smaller schools and black
colleges, according to Mr,
Paul Glynn, coordinator of
the event an Dean of Student
Personnel at JC,
"Many students tend to
seek smaller schools, where
there is more interaction and
a better student-teacher
ratio" Glynn stated. "This is
an excellent opportunity for
students to get information
which could lead to a better
choice of career or college."
The Palm Beach Junior
CoUeg Exhibit, split between
the college transfer and the
occupational programs offer-
ed at the college illustrated
the dual nature of the event.
Representing the "career
side" was the North
Technical Education Center,
six representatives of busi-
ness and professional groups
for direct career information,
and at least two exhibits
from the armed forces,
including a helicopter based
in the center of the midway.
"Students who do not
already have definite college
or career plans, and that
means most high school
students, cannot afford to
miss this chance of finding
the right direction," Glynn
stated prior to the event.
Although the turnout was
not as enthusiastic as
anticipated, a teacher's
planning day did seem to
boost attendance.
Glynn remarked that his
only regret was the lack of
advertisement and promo-
tion beforehand.
According to Glynn, col-
lege and career planning
should begin early in high
school at least by the junior
year.
In previous years, the
entire Junior Class was
transported to PBJC for the
one day event.
"Double sessions, plus a
lack of transportation made
the former idea impossible"
Glynn stated, "the Associa-
tion then voted to open it up
to a three day event and
allow any student or parent
to come on a voluntary basis.

Job Bank Opens
Cindy Cowen
PBJC will have on campus by
early next term a Job Bank,
which will include an
updated daily list of jobs
available throughout the
state. This "up-to-the-min-
ute" directory will be
stationed in the Job
Placement Office, located in
the Career Information and
Study Center on the first
floor of the library. This
information will be available
to all students.

As a new service to its
students and the community,
Indian River community
College has set up weekend
library hours .The new hours
are from 9 a.m. -1 p.m. on
Saturdays and from 1 p.m. -5
p.m. on Sundays.
The idea to establish these
hours was suggested by the
Administration of the col-
lege. This was thought to be
a unique and useful
community service that
would be of interest to all.So
far, the new service has not
sparked much interest from
the student body, not the
surrounding community. The
library staff is not overly
enthusiastic about the idea
either. They feel that it is a
waste of their time to open
the library for only four our
five people to use.
The Hbrary is now closed
on Fridays so that the library
staff is still only working a
forty hour week. Besides
the newhours that must be
worked on weekends, each
member of the staff is
required to work at least one
night a week.
According to Miss Gwendo-
lyn Ferguson, the coordina-
tor, "The Job Placement
Office presently has a file of
50-75 available jobs from the
individual employers and the
Florida State Employment
Service (FSES). All PBJC
students, former students
and graduates are ehgible to
use this information without
charge, and we are now
sending letters to graduates
and former students inform-
ing them of this service.
Miss IFergusom added,
"The college departments
also offer job placement
help, but we're here to aid
those who need additional
guidance." Miss Ferguson
explained that the new Job
Bank will be established in
cooperation with FSES, and
the list of employment
possibilities will be on
microfiche - plastic cards
similar (o micro film, which
students can run through a
viewer to learn of available
jobs.
The FSES will train a
college representative in the
use of the equipment and
assign an interviewing num-
ber.

Window To Open
"The Sign In SidneyrBriistein's Window" will be
presented by Palm Beach Junior College Dramatic
Department on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, Nov. 7,8,9, and 10 with a benefit performance
scheduled Thursday, Nov. 14, -for the Lake Worth
Playhouse.
The story behind the play is almost as gripping and
poignant as the story within theplay, according to
Frank Leahy, faculty director of this season's first
production. ,
'Sign's playwright, Lorriane Hansberry, won the New
York Drama Critics Award for Best Play of the year for
1958-1959 for her "A Raisin In the Sun". She was the
youngest American playwright, the. fifth woman and
the only black writer ever to receive this honor.
Although her first play "Raisin" was a smashing
success, the opening of her second play was met with
mixed reviews. Unless a large financial backing was found
for the play, it would close.
"The Sign In Sidney Brustein's Window" seemed
doomed to failure.
Sadly, they broke the news to Lorraine, a woman who
knew she was seriously ill, but didn't know she was
suffering from cancer, and the playwright was concerned,
wondering what would happen should her illness keep her
from writing for a long time.
Situations, ho waver, changed.
Frank and Eleanor Wright, who had lent the production
$2,500 with the stipulation that the production recieved
good reviews, called to say that despite the odds,they still
wanted their money to be used for the show.
Thus it was that the show was kept open by people who
had seen the show and thought the show was too good to
close, and did something about it. Among those who
devoted their time and money were, Shelley Winters,
Viveca lindfors, Steve Allen, and Richard Rodgers plus a
host of others, famous and not-so-famous.

A Clash Of Wants And Needs
"I wish to live, because
life has within it that which is
good, that which is beautiful,
and that which is love.
Therefore, since I have
known all of these things, I
have found them to be
reason enough, and... I wish
to live." Lorraine Hansberry
wrote that before her death
on January 12th, 1965.
This love of life that
Hansberry expressed is
evident throughout the play,
"The Sign in Sidney
Brustein's Window."
The play will be presented
by the JC dramatic depart-
ment on the nights of Nov.

While learning her work
the players have grown to
"know" Lorraine Hansber-
ry.
Karen Moore, who por-
trays Sidney Brusteins' wife.
Iris, says of Hansberry,
"She's the most amazing
writer who ever lived... to
create nine completely dif-
ferent people ! . . .to have each
one of them so justified in
their different stand!!!
' Ms. Moore says, "The
play is so beautiful. It makes
you realize there is so much
to live, to keep on going. ..to
find exactly what living is
for! It's breathing, walking,
talking, being..."
"People have got to come
and see this play." She says,
saying that if it were
possible, she would like to
pull everybody inside the
auditorium tg see it, so
strong is her belief in the
good effect the play would
have on them,
"Keith Cooper, who plays
Sign Supported By Famous Figures
"The Sign in Sidney Brustem's Window", a play of
depth and symbolism, inspired these comments from its
cast.
''I like the character, I'm reaUy int him. The character
believes in a lot of things I do," commented Keith Cooper
who IS playmg Alton Scales, neighbor of the Brusteins.
Alton has very strong feeliiigs on civil rights and so do I.
1 guess that s partly why I like him."
Although Keith enjoys derious drama, he prefers
comdey.
In high school, Keith played Donald in the well-known
comedy, "You Can't Take It With You."
"Window" deals with today's problems: racism,
interracial marriage,^ drugs, politics and civil rights,"
states Keith. "I don't want to tell everything about the
play. I want people to come see it rather than read about
it.
The lead part of Sidney Brustein is played by Joe
Redon. Surprisingly, Joe has no previous acting
experience. This will be his first time on stage.
"Sidney is very close to the person I am. He just wants
to succeed in something, he'll try anything once. That's
why I'm doing 'Window', I have an interest," expressed
Joe.
Joe is very modest about his apparent talent and he
considers himslef a studnet among many actors.
"I don't feel I'm the actor that the others are," he said.
He has hopes of doing other plays in the future but does
not plan to make the theatre a career.
Portraying Sidney's wife, Iris Brustein, is experienced
actress Karen Moore. Karen has acted in four previous
plays at JC.
"Of all the shows I've been in, I've had to work the
hardest on building this character," commented Karen.
As experienced as she is, Karen stillfinds it difficuh to
stop being herself and become Iris because she feels she
and Iris are very close in character. Karen describes Iris as
"human."
^^ Obviously enthused with the play, Karen stated that
"Window" is "the most powerful, truthful and honest
play I've ever read"
Her deep feehngs for the playwright were clear when
she said, "Lorraine Hansberry is beautiful. There are
actually no words to describe her. Beautiful... yet, even
that is an injustice to her."
Karen expressed the feelings of the entire cast and
students involved in the play when she said, "People have
to see the show... it says so much!"
Alton Scales says of the play,
"It's funny, heart-warming,
sad, loving, and about
understanding."
The artists seem to be
completely involved willi
understanding their charac-
ters. The play, because of its
content, demands this. It is
about a group of people who
are of different philosophical
ideals, different ways of life,
and how these differences
interact, inter-relate. There
is a clash of values, there is a
clash of wants and needs.
The play points out how
every one is different
and how seldom these
differences are actually
understood or even noticed .
The play states that people
are self-centered and usually
concern themselves only
with their own lives.
Working on this basic theme
Hansberry developes a very
fine play with characters that
really live.
The characters are: Sidney
Brustein ( Joe Redon) and
Iris husband and wife.
Sidney is a perpetual
intellectual, and a failure^,
who buys a paper business.
Iris is getting tired of
Sidney's failures, tired of her
failings as an actress, and
tired of their marriage.
Mavis Parodus and Gloria
Parodus are Iris Brustein's
sisters. Mavis (Dixie Olin-
ger) is a straight, middle
class, snoop of a lady and
Gloria (Kitty Albertson) is a
very successful prostitute.
Alton Scales (Keith Moo-
re) David Begin (Gene
Lancaster) and Wally Ohara
(Danny Stewart) are other
charades. Alton is an
"involved" Black who used
to be Communists. Davitl is
a homosexual playwrite, and
Wally is running for town
council. Max, who works
with Sidney on the paper,
(Played by David Batho) and
the detective (Gregory Bdell)
complete the cast.
rCracker" Crumbled
miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
John Auchterlonie
Animal crackers were raearit to be eaten,
not watched. But when the Marx brothers
are doing the eating, then it's time to relax.
"Animal Crackers" is a re-released,
original '30's production starringthe Marx
Brothers. Don't forget, this movie is a
re-release. That means it's in black and
white, scratched and spliced; not to mention
that the admission price is the same as that
of contemporary films.
Neverthheless, Groucho Marx is one of my
favorites, with his zany, quick and witty
nonsense-type humor. By the way, the
brothers are featured as individual
characters, not as a quartet.
HarjDO and Zeppo are marginal as actors.
But, Harpo does display his musical talents
extremely well on the harp. I believe Freud
himself could not understand Harpo.
Meanwhile, Zeppo's job is to throw in
straight lines wherever he can.
The plot of the movie is simple and as
organized as the Marx style of humor. It
centers around the arrival of the infamous
Captain Spaulding (Groucho) from his safari
in Africa , and the unveiling of a priceless
painting to a weahhy group of people, who
are guests at a rich widow's estate. Through
a young painter's ambition and two
mischievous dousins, the paintiiig is
switched before its unveiling, and lost in the
mixup.
The movie's humor comes from the antics
of the Marx Brothers, not the script.
Groucho is the best with his "African
Hunter" routine. Harpo and Zeppo enter
the movie as musicians for the affair but,
naturally, they play off key.
The humor deals more with actions than
words. The entire movie is compiled of
short, comical sketches. These routines are
worked around the plot in such forms as
. playing a card game, playing a musical
instrument, taking a letter and even trying
to solve a mystery.
The quality of the film leaves something
to be desired. But the black and white film,
the acting and the set will all be forgiven
with the realization that this film was made
inthel930's.
Why "Animal Crackers" was picked to be
re-released I'll never know. The Marx's
have done better; "A Night at the Opera" is
by far a better representation of the Marx
humor.
But then, like 3-D and other movie
oddities, Groucho only goes around once in a
blue moon.
Recording Giants
There is no group like Gentle Giant and there never has
been. They are to be commended for being so original in
their approach to rock music and in blending it very tastefully
with their deep classical roots.
There is no album like "The Power and the Glory". It is to
be recognized as a marvelous musical accomplishment,
possibly even a bit ahead of our time.
The music is of a very high caliber and refrains from the
use of any boring, overused, typical rock cliches found in
much of today's popular music. Everything is totally
original. Every little riff, every melody, every theme, and
even in the improvisation, the typical repetitious licks are
avoided.
The highlight of the album is the unique vocal
arrangements found on most songs. No screams or
yeah-yeahs, but rather, serious philosophical expressions
and mystical announcements proclaiming freedom and the
power and the glory in these hard, troubled times.
It offers a very refreshing straightforward message to
listeners as well as eight tracks of very exciting music. The
music will stand out in your mind above many other familiar
contemporary songs.
Gentle Giant is very big in England but hasn't received
toomuch recognition in the States yet. However, you will be
hearing a lot more about them in the future as they become
more widely discovered.
"Hail To": Derek Shulman, vocals and all saxes; Ray
Shulman, bass, vocals, violin; Kerry Minnear, keyboards,
cello, vocals; Gary Green, all guitars; and John Weathers,
drums, percussion and vocals.
Gentle Giant really must be heard to be believed. It surely
will enlighten the multitudes of young, sophisticated
progressive rock listeners around these days.
"The Power and the Glory" is easily one of the year's
hottest albums and can be found on the Capital label with the
Giant King of Spades on the cover.
Seminar Explores Afro Music

Afro-American music was
the topic of an October 30
seminar held in the Human-
ities building and lead by
Ms, Pat Johnson, music
instructor.
The seminar was high-
lighted by numerous spirit-
uals and Gospel songs, The
first of these was "I Want
Jesus to Walk With Me"
sung by Perry Stokos,
accompanied on the piano by
Victor Gent student at FAU.
This was followed by Ms.
Johnson singing the same
song yet differently to
illustrate her feelings that a
person doing the song must
interpret it the way they feel
it. Summing up she said,
"Intrepretation is the pur-
pose to spirituals." A second
spiritual "Waterboy" was
sung by Kim Gent and
accompanied by Mr. Estrada
Ms. Johnson stated, "The
reason people take so well to
spirituals, especially those
sung by Blacks, is the fact
that they are harmonized. By
this I mean the feeling, not
the written form. "
Overta Johnson sung her
interpretations of two spirit-
uals, "I Gotta Lie Down
Where Shall I Lie" and "Go
Down In the Lonesome
Valley."

PISCES: Govern your fm-
ances with a keen eye - this is
a week for small mistakes
that make trouble in the
future. A startling suggest-
ion masks an ulterior motive. •
ARIES: A confrontation
arrives. It will do you good to
get your conflicts out in the
open. With a little effort on
both sides, they can be
profitably resolved.
TAURUS: Be more aware of
the logical side of things.
Take time to solve compli-
cated personal puzzles. Give
each action careful thought
or a friendship will suffer.
GEMDNI: Those you admire
seem to be disappointing
you. Be bold and question
everyone about his motives
and methods. Show your
friends you have faith in
them.
CANCER: New and unfami-
■ liar things, peculiar work and
school situatioiis confuse
you. Adaptation is the best
solution; aggression will get
you nowhere for the next few
weeks.
LEO: You are needed by
more people than you think.
The truth about your future
will become clear. Selfdoubts
aren't necessary. Self-confi-
dence and independence are.
VIRGO: Publicity could bring
benefits later. Don't be
afraid to get into the public
eye; in fact, make an effort to
do so.
UBRA: A possession that
has eluded you is almost in
your hands. Don't put
pressure on a close friend -
he or she is under a strain
and will blow up in your face.
SCORPIO: You get into an
argument , or an unpleasant
situation on the road.
Someone you helped in the
past could be of help.
SAGITTARIUS: You feel
compelled to act without
thinking, to give in to
impulses and trust intuition.
Resist the temptation; your
intuition is cloudy this week.
See every side of every
question.
CAPRICORN: You are both-
ered by disconnected mem-
ories, like music heard from
far away or very long ago.
Let the past teach you.
Remember past triumphs.
They oveshadow present
troubles.
AQUARIUS: A complicated
personal puzzle becomes
clear as you look it over; Stay
on the side of emotion.
Seeing things from another's
viewpoint is a trick that will
serv eyou well.
The future could hold a new media for the
entertainment field, television tapes. There is, already on
the market, a unit which you can attach to your television
set and use to tape television programs.
As of yet, it is expensive, but eventually the unit will
probablly be well within the price range of your typical
television fanatic.
There is, unfortunately, a problem with this pratctice.
People wouldn't mind watching their favorite movie'two or
three times, but hardly anyone would care to watch the
same movie day after day, hundreds of times.
Sometime in the future there will be an increasing
demand for scenes that people wouldn'j mind watching
again and again. A new breed of artist will emerge, the
"scenevwiter".
The scenewriter will try to do visually what the
songwriters of today do vocally; Songwriters wn-ite songs
that we often can enjoy many times daily. The scene
writers will try to create visual impression^ that we can
watch over and over.
Television programs will probably , change to
accommodate this new creative medium. There may be
programs specifically conceived to show off optical
extravaganzas.
Major networks may start a ''Top 40" list x>f "scenes"
that people are buying. Television might begitt presenting
visual experiences ifluch like radio presents auditory
experiences.
It may be awhile before artists finally understnd what
optical stimuli people will enjoy seeing over and over, but
eventually, this new media, this new means ojF expressioii
just might present us with "harmonies" of inovement,
symphonies of light, and a veritable "fantasia'' of musical
and visual experience.

Stung By North
By Timolliy L. Bray
Sports Editor
With the conclusion of the
fall schedule last Wednesday
night, the next task for JC
head baseball coach Dusty
Rhodes is to reduce his
roster to 22 players.
Coach Rhodes feels this is
a monumental task since any
one of the remaining 30
members are capable of
playing. His iinal decision is
to come this week.
Between now and Christ-
mas vacatioHj Rhodes said,
he is going to stress
fundamentals in the informal
practices. The Pacers com-
mitted four errors in one
inning against Miami-Dade
North.
Against the Falcons, on
Wed. Oct, 31, the Pacers had
the ball game in hand
leading 2-1 going into the
bottom of the seventh. Then,
as Rhodes commented, "We
took too much of a seventh
inning stretch.".
Pacer pitchers allowed six
runs on six walks, and the
defense committed 2 errors.
The Falcons did not hit a ball
out of the infield during the
inning'.
Rhodes pulled some of his
starters in the inning. "I had
to see some of the other guys
play under pressure.".
The Pacers' runs came in
the third, fifth, and seventh,
with Sam Testa collecting 3
RBI's.
In the third, Glenn Rogers
led off with a base hit.
Rhodes then sent Rogers on
a hit and run. Skip Walker
responded with a hit to right
field sending Rogers to third.
Tests then scored Rogers.
The same sequence happ-
ened in the fifth with Rogers
and Waker getting on base
and Testa scoring Rogers
with an RBI hit.
In the top of the seventh,
Walker took a base on balls,
stole second, went to third on
Testa's base hit, and scored
on a passed ball. Testa
ended the scoring for the
Pacers on a base hit by Jerry
Walters.
"Miami-Dade North,"
commented Rhodes, "is a
great team with great
facilities. Falcon coaches feel
that we're better than South
and Downtown. "

Due to the pro draft in

Rhodes believes JC base-
ball is "taking a change for
the better. I've pushed the
guys pretty hard. They've
been playing ball since
September. They need a
break and I need a break."

said Ginchereau.
Ginchereau wants to make the
constitution clearer in the
powers of all branches of
government and to make the
Senate . as effective as the
executive board. Senators, on

during Senate meetings because
of the misinterpretation of the

OAA, 50's Funded
By ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Student Government's Executive Board allotted $300 to O.A.A.
for the Odura festival and tentatively appropriated $1,000 to Phi Lo
for a 50's dance, at the November 5 meeting.
The Odum is an annua! Afro-American cultural event which has
become a tradition at JC, according to Oveta Jackson, President of
O.A.A.
Skits, poems, food, an art exhibit, music presentations, and a
display of African, attire are included in the event. Awards are given
and guest speakers are invited.
The Odum is scheduled for December 6 and is open to all
students.
O.A.A. originally requested $500 for the Odum, much of which
would have been spent for a live band for entertainment. The
Executive Board was against granting funds for the band and
suggested^iomitting it. Miss Jackson agreed to discuss this with
members of O.A.A. The Executive Board allotted $300 for the
Odum.
Becky Davis, Vice-President of Phi Lo, requested funds for a 50's
dance that the sorority hopes to hdd at JC. Phi Lo contacted others
clubs on campus to. see if any were interested in helping with the
dance. There was a favorable response.
Miss Davis feels "there would be a fantastic turnout, in view of
the present 50's craze."
The dance would feature a live band playing 50's music, with
students wearing fashions from the 50's. Teachers would be
invited.
Tory Buckley, President of SGA agreed to negotiate with the
band.
Miss Davis was willing to call a meeting with representatives of
clubs that are mterested in helping with the dance, and report the
results at the next Board meeting.
A motion was passed to tentatively appropriate 51,000 to Phi Lo
with final approval at the next meeting.
President Buckley reported on his October 30 meeting with Dr.
Manor. According to Buckley, Dr. Manor is opposed to a
mandatory Student Activity hour because approximately 70% of the
day students work and must have their classes finished in the
morning. The activity hour would be cutting out a block of their
time. Dr. Manor recommended an optional student activity hour.
Approval of the Winter Movie Schedule was delayed until the
Executive Board can study the prices.

Lucy Booth Opens

Asst. News Editor
The Palm Beach County
"Right to Life League" is
having a representative at our
Lucy Booth on November 12,
from noon until two o'clock.
The "Right to Life League" is
a volunteer, non-profit organi-
zation which offers personal
help to pregnant women with
maternal, economic and coun-
seling problems.
"The main function of the
Right to Life League is to offer
other alternatives for pregnancy
besides abortion." stated a
spokesman for the Palm Beach
County Maternal and Infant
care Clinic.
The league contends that
legalized abortion is unjustified
and that by writing to
governmental representatives
and casting your vote against it,
thousands of lives could be
saved.
Volunteers for the organiza-
tions give lectures and show
movies to assorted clubs and
organizations throughout the
county.

Senate to approve appropria-
tions of SG's budget, and to
make the constitution "as clear
as possible" in each branch of
government so that SG
members don't have to
constantly interpet the meaning
of the constitution.
Rob Abrams, Chairperson of
the Constitutional Amendments
Committee said "there is no
way of putting a definite time"
on the issue.
Abrams plans to get copies of
all the Florida college consti-
tutions that he can get. He said
it would take a month or longer
to contact outside sources and
get the constitutions.
"We're not looking for a
mockery or a copy, but we're
looking for ideas to set our
wheels going," said Abrams.
He said the committee may
change only a few words or not
use anything that is in the
student body constitution.
, There will be approximately ten
members working on the
committee, which will meet
every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
in the North SAC Lounge. After
the project of rewriting the
constitution is well under way,
the committee may meet twice a
week.
SG President, Tory Buckley,
threatened to veto a bill last week
which would give Senators
(honorariums) special privileges
over other JC students.
"I strongly urge each and
every one of you to get together
and get something a little more
revised and more professional
than what it reads now," said
Buckley.
The SG President did not veto
the bill, therefore It became law.
The Senate passed a
resolution introduced by Sena-
tor James Cox, in favor of
having an "Arts and Crafts"
shop on the JC campus, The
shop will allow JC students and
the public to buy and sell
homemade arts and crafts.
Two vacant Senate seats have '
been filled by J. Michele Notter
and Marvin Drake. Dan
Buckley will be sworn in next
week.
Margie Riccobono, Chair-
person of the appointments
committee, interviewed the
Senators to be on Wednesday
and said they all met the
qualifications.
Senators must have no less
than a 2.2 grade average and
must carry 12 credit hours per
semester.
Referring to the project of
rewriting the constitution,
Senator Abrams said it will be
"after Christmas time before
the committee as a whole can
actually sit down and throw a
constitution together.

Honorable?
The Student Government Senate has taken it upon themselves, in
their first official bill of the year, to award honorariums and special
privileges for each member of the Senate.
The Senate, obviously thinking themselves worthy of it, first
wanted to grant senators honorariums and the cost of tuition and
books for the period of their incumbancy. With just one resolution
concerning a desire to fix the faulty clock situation at JC behind
them, Senate Resolution No. 74-002 by Senator James Boger was
proposing the expenditure of hundreds of dollars to students for
their title alone. Perhaps the possibility of a senator not showing up
at all, just collecting his free ride, kept this farce from going
anywhere.
Now the first bill of the year pops up, giving senators a $50
honorarium, a name tag, . a car decal, and special parking spots.
The bill reasons that the " Senate is pledpig its time and effort to the
betterment of all persons" at JC in making its argument.
We think their argument, saying that the privileges and a small
honorarium would be an incentive for a full slate of candidates each
year, is not a valid one. Senators serve the students because they
want to, not because of a token sum of money. We do not feel that
honorarium is wrong; however, careful supervision over who gets
the money should be established before any checks are written.
"Beaches and parks - NOW" voters declared last Tuesday,
saying yes to the $50 million beach and park bond issue.
' This affirmative decision is a victory for the county's citizens. For
an estimated $7 to $20 a year, the public will be buying access to
seven additional miles of beaches, a priceless purchase if utilized.
Parks will also be bought and developed.
No one can predict exactly what a taxpayer's yearly bill will be to
pay off the S50 million, an issue debated by the bond's opponents.
Because of varying interest rates, population and years of financmg,
only general cost estimates can be made.
But, the current economic slump makes now a good time to buy.
And, voters have given the county permission to do it.
Commissioner Bob Culpepper and others got the reward they
sought after trekking 45 miles along the county's coast.
They also got an extra bonus - interest aroused concerning the
bond probably helped bring voters to the polls.
\\
WRAP" If Up \
I
WRAP, the campus "radio station" beset with program and
technical problems, should leave the air.
Since the beginning of the school year, WRAP has promised
cafeteria listemers a consistent offering of quality music at
reasonable tones.
Unfortunately, despite installation of new amplifiers and sound
equipment, WRAP has consistently overpowered students with
loud, blaring music played at an indigestion-inducing treble level.
Our complaint is shared by others. The Beachcomber has
received mkny letters in reference to the situation. In fact, on one
afternoon over a dozen students (and the cafeteria manager) came
through Beachcomber offices to complain to WRAP, which is located
next to the 'Comber.
Student Government, controller of WRAP operations, should
investigate the WRAP situation. A possible solution to the problem
could be to limit the airwaves to the SAC Lounge.
Instead of remaining a "clique" for the amusement of a "chosen
few", WRAP should return to the genuine service of the student
body. '

Beachcomber Errors Again?
Editor:
In your headline article of November 4, "AUee
Replaces Manor in Senate";
1. Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 establish a
progression of speakers, thus leading the reader
to assume that the parliamentarian objected in
the meeting; he did not. Additionally, Mr. Gross
did not "take" the floor; he was granted the right
to speak by Dr. Manor who said, "Well, all
right."
2. Paragraph 7 is correct; however, it would
have been proper here to mention that the
parliamentarian agreed after the vote that
procedural violations notwithstanding, once a
body has cast its vote without objection, the vote
stands,
3. We think that both your introduction and
conclusion, by their word choices ("emotional",
"heated debate", and "claiming") establish a
tone which slants opinion for the reader who was
not present. Our memory of the meeting is
that discussion by all parties was both smooth
and restrained.
Concerning the " claiining , " we had hoped that
this issue which has been resolved
(unconstitutionally, we think) would be allowed
to die. Since you have resurrected the issue, we
would be pleased if you would clarify the minority
opinion of the Senate, which was based on a bit
more than "claiming" that Mrs. Vignau should
succeed to the Chairmanship.
At issue we think was whether the Senate
Constitution should be interpreted literally;
Article 4, Section 3; "In all matters of
procedures not specified herein, ROBERT'S
RULES OF ORDER, Revised, SHALL be
applied." (underlining is ours)
As you may remember, Mrs. Vignau was
sufficiently interested in testing the validity of
the minority opinion to request that faculty at
large receive unedited copies of the pertinent
passages in ROBERT'S and/or to request an
Love Letter No, 2
Editor:
The article the appeared on page one of the
November 4 issue of the Beachcomber was
misleading and erroneous. Not only was I quoted
erroneously, but the sequential description of the
debate was misleading.
From the writer's description one might
conclude that the faculty senate parliamentarian
stated, during the debate, that ray speaking
before the body was a violation of parliamentary
procedure.
EDITORS NOTE: Faculty Senate meetings
are always tape recorded by the reporter.

The error in Mr. Gross' quote with regard
to the word "If was the fault of the

Gross Claims Misquote
Continued from pg. 2
The parliamentarian was not
heard from during the meeting,
and I was recognized by the
chair. No senators objected and
I was allowed to speak. There
has been ample precedent for
this in the past operation of the
Faculty Senate.
The quote attributed to me in
paragraph 1, column 3 should
read as follows:
'-'It is very poor logic to
assume that IF I know my total
score, I would then know my
individual scores and I fail to see
how this could compromise
those scores. For my own
personal reasons I would like to
have my total SCORE."
In reference to the statement
that a vote taken on the first
reading is in violation of the
seante constitution, I refer the
writer to the faculty senate
constitution Part Al, page 28.
This states there shall be two
readings in reference to

JC'sCLEPTest
ByBBLLHUTCHINS
Staff Writer
Prices for CLEP exammations are changing following the Nov. 14
testing date.
This will be the last offering of the exams at their current price
which is one general examination for fifteen dollars, two or more for
thirty dollars. Subject examinations are fifteen dollars each.
Beginning in January, which is the next time the test will be
offered at JC, the price for general exams will rise to twenty dollars
for one, thirty dollars for two and forty dollars for three to five. The
price of the subject exams will remain at fifteen dollars.
Students wishing to take the CLEP tests to be offered Nov. 14
should sign up as soon as possible in the testing center at JC, room
AD-5.
Results of the CLEP tests given Sept. 19, 1974 show that only
22% passed the general Humanities exam, 31% passed the Social
Science exam, 42% passed the English exam, while students did
better on Mathetmatics, which 52% passed, and the Natural
Science examination which was passed by 65%
Results of the Oct. 3 Health Exemption Exam are also in with
fourteen students passing of twenty three who took the test. The
next Health Exemption Exam will not be given until next semester.
Many times a vote has been
taken on the first reading when
the matter involves internal
action concerning the classifica-
tion of the duties and
responsibilities of a senate
committee. This is exactly what
happened. The chair was in
order in calling for a vote after
having identified the matter as
one involving an internal
problem.

dorms. After all, several
politicians and members of the
state Board of Regents, had said
that the "open bedroom policy"
in effect at state universities and
colleges have turned these
once-placid sleeping quarters
into "tax-payer's whore
houses." I couldn't wait (I'm a
taxpayer)!
The idea of finally getting
something in return for my sales
tax, gasoline tax, utilities tax,
and all the other little taxes
seemed to me as possibly a
dream come true. I ventured a
guess that my time allowed
inside these dens of perversion
would be based on the amount
of taxes paid by myself (a
property owner) during the last
fiscal year.
Upon arriving in Gainesville,
to my dismay, all my friends
have accomodations off-cam-
pus.
"But what about, you know, I
mean, those rumors, where are
the chicks that I pay for every
week out of my paycheck?" I
asked of an old buddy.
"What on earth are you
talking about," queried my
friend, I went on to tell him of
my visions of sugar plums that I
thought danced down dormitory
halls every hour and on the half
hour. He began to guffaw,
drawing attention throughout
those in the room towards us.
"Marc, you don't under-
stand," he said. "What these
stupid politicians don't realize is
that their "Let's shack up,
courtesy of the state" theory
just doesn't hold water."
"Busch and nonsense," 1
countered.
"No really. Men here behave
like eunuchs, women like nuns.
We all take an oath of celibacy
upon enrolling; it's standard
procedure for entering fresh-
men,"
So, 1 thought, these politici-
ans who are attempting to
capitalize on this are ignorant of
the situation. I also decided
immediately not to go to
Gainesville, but rather to one of
those upper-division schools
that are written up in Esquire
every year.
Ah, well. Back to JC and

Alcoholic Rotes Rise
Students
Lead
List
ByMARCBRESSLER
Douglas Yeoman is an
alcoholic. Doug begins each day
by downing a can of his favorite
beer to ward off the unpleasant
after-effects of "the night
before". Invariably, before
lunch he will have finished a
six-pack of Millers, followed by
a Hienekens at lunch. By
dinnertime, Doug will be on his
third six-pack of Millers and is
already to go for the big night
out on the town.
He is well-known at the local
tavern, where he has been a
steady customer since age 17.
On an average night, $15 will
pass between him and the
barmaid, usually for screwdriv-
ers or tequila sunrises. He
frequently leaves in an alcoholic
stupor, barely surviving the
short drive home.
Doug is easy to picture; a
pot-bellied, blue-coUar worker
whose wife and kids have long
since given up nagging him
about his drinking, right?
Wrong. Douglas Yeoman is 21,
a college student touted by his
professors as full of potential
and talent and destined to go a
long way.
He does not worry about his
drinking problem - he accepts it
as part of his daily routine, and
even looks forward to "getting
blown away" with his buddies.
But unless he realizes the
dangers involved, he's not
going anywhere but down.

Potpourri" Of Fashions Shown
By DEBBIE THOMPSON
Asst. News Editor
As some people see it,
potpourri is a conglomoration of
creative, exciting elements;
which is exactly what the
PBJC Sales and Marketing Club
had in mind when "Potpourri"
provided the theme for their 7th
Annual Fashion Show. Nov. 7.
Over 150 people, curious as to
what the young collegiate set is
wearing these days, took
advantage of the free admission
and attended the event.
The show was designed as an
in-training program for students
interested in business and
related fields, according to
Ruthanna Widdows, club advi-
sor.
"The purpose of the Fad
Fashion Show" she explained,
"was to give the students an
unrestricted, entirely self-made
opportunity for a seminar
practicum".
Twenty-eight of the club's 52
members produced the program

outfits and commentary were
entirely under the students
direction. Also offering their
help were advisors Mr. Robert
Holzman and Mr. Robert
Waddell.
"Potpourri" displayed the
newest fashions being shown
this season, including tennis
wear, the western look, resort
and evening wear, and the "Big
Sweater Look".
Stores contributing outfits
included City Hall, Burdine's
Rage to Riches, Fountains,
Brownie's Men's Shoppe, and
Outer Limits.
Fashion Coordinator Louise
Sudduth, a former fashion
model for Sak's Fifth Avenue,
served as project manager and
commentator, while other club
members served as models for
the hour-long program.
Doug is one of thousands ot
college students who can be
considered "problem drinkers"
or alcoholics.
According to a recent
nationwide survey by HEW, the
college age group of 18-24 has
the largest proportion of
persons who have some
drinking-connected problems.
Recent studies have found
that alochol, as a drug, has
replaced marijuana as the
favorite among college students
and even those younger. Easy
availability (even those who are
below the legal age may acquire
booze with relatively little
hassle), lessened parental
pressure (parents, of course,
prefer liquor over pot), and
greater social acceptance are
some of the reasons for this
change.
The cost is also a factor. A JC
freshman noted that while he
could obtain small amounts of
pot, THC, and mescaline, for a
few dollars (or even psilocybin
mushrooms for free), the
worries and criminal risk in
getting caught were just not
worth it.
Beer and pop wines are the
favorites in the 18-24 age group,
both of which are available in
convenience stores that almost
never close. According to the
HEW survey, some college
students may have convinced
themselves that there isn't
high enough content
to worry about.
The fact is that a can of beet '
contains as much alcohol as the ^
average cocktail.. Some college •
students (men, in particular) }
think nothing of downing a 1
six-pack of beer. However, i
most would think twice before
mixing six drinks in a ro«. |
unless the primary purpose in i
doing so was to get totailj ;
plastered. [
Ignorance surrounding the
subject of alcohol is shown in '
survey results that indicate thai '
only 61% of the public can be
considered even fairly know-
ledgeable about the physiologi
cal effects of alcohol. And
what's more, teetotalers ami
light drinkers appeared to be
better infoirmed on the dangers ,
of alcohol than their heavier
drinking counterparts.
People like Doluglas Yeoman
are ignorant of the situation thai
confronts them; either a
reduction in the amount ol ■
frequency of alcohol consumer '
or total abstinence is necessar; ■
to help them. Students that use ;
alcohol to cope with social ot [
academic pressures may vet)' i
well become alcoholics, i:

Rogers Concerned Over Health
ByMIKEPILIERO
Staff Writer
Congressman Paul Rogers
appeared here recently to
discuss health care in America.
A leading legislator in health,
Rogers emphasized the dire
need to implement the educat-
ion of preventive medicine in
our grade schools and schools of
higher learning.
Currently, Congress is work-
ing on a three-part State
Development Planning Health
Program.
The first part is "planning"
where local non-profit groups
from all over Florida will form
suggestions on how to improve
health program. These groups
will then meet to combine all
constructive ideas.
The second part of the plan is
"Regional Medical Develop-
ment."
The third part is the "Hill
Burton" legislation which is a
hospital facilities bill aiding
hospital's bedding and the
modernization of care for
out-patients and emergenices.
Some of the points discussed:
-Spurred by a question.
Rogers said that nutrition
should be taught in medical
schools.
Reform is necessary con-
cerning medical school where as
many as 10,000 qualified
students are refused admission
yearly. That, contrasted with
the fact that one-half of today's
new doctors are foreign medical
grads, makes one start to
wonder about the influence of
the AMA .
In New Orleans, the wings of
one hospital are closed due to a
shorgage of nurses.
Another problem facing
America is the poor distribution
of doctors and their specialties.
The rural and ghetto areas of
this country are short on
doctors. There are too many
surgeons and not enough
general practioners. The
National Health Service Corpor-
ation is a step in this direction. .
Its plan is to train doctors,
offering one year of school for
one year of service in a rural
area with salary. However, the
corporation only receives about
half its wanted students.
A national health plan will
come soon,
underway.
Study is actively
In response to a question
concerning the FDA, Rogers
said he is opposed to the view
that vitamins, packaged' with
more than ISO'/z of the
individual daily requirements,
must be sold over the counter.
At this point, questions began
surfacing from the audience.
One gentleman pleased with
Rogers as to why food additives
cannot be thoroughly tested
before being put on the market.
This would elirninate or reduce
the discoveries that pop up
later, warning the public of their
potential danger.
Rogers felt that this should be
looked into and that the
responsibility should lie in the
hands of the manufacturers
when it comes to pretesting of a
product.
Drs. Bottosto and Yinger of
the Social Science department
felt the evening was a success; a
clear display of bringing the
government to the people.
Wishing Well Contest Opens
ByLYNNKALBER
Featare Editor
The girl watchers of JC will

Well. Any group of ten or more
interested students is also
'.v-jw^
invited to submit an entry.
Each girl entered must be a
student at JC and must be
photographed in a bathing suit.
Appointments for picture taking
will be arranged after the

The sea is God The grains of sand are
His people And so he separates the good

say to you my bretheren, heed goodness
not evil, for when the morning tide
rises you may suffer the consequences.

SNA Coffee Planned
By WINNIE KNIGHTON
Evening Reporter
That busy group of girls you noticed "cooking" up things on
campus recently was the newly organized Student Nurses'
Association. They held a successful bake sale in front of
Beachcoihber office last week and had everyone eating out of their
hands. '
Their next big event will be a coffee tomorrow night, Tuesday at
7:30 p.m. in SAC Lounge. All students registered in the nursing
program are invited to attend and leanr more about the
organization.
Faculty Advisor, Mrs. Merkle, will be on hand to assist the newly
elected officers make everyone welcome. Kay Henrion is chairman
of the group; her co-chairman is Al Aganowski. Other officers
include Jeannie Woods, secretary; Cheryl Dyett, treasurer and
Callie Johnson, projects chairman.
Regular meeting will be lield every Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in
SAC Lounge.
Many projects are being planned for the ensuing year to boost
their treasury. Members who need financial assistance as well as
plan social activities and maintain themselves.
There are approximately 500 students registered in all phases of
the nursing program. This includes a few male participants, but
primarily the fairer sex. Presently eight representatives are on the
executive board. Four members are from conventional classes and
the same number from LEGS. This gives equal emphasis to both
programs.
'Alice' Seeks Equalities For Welfare Students
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
Remember Alice?
Alice is the fed-up, divorced
JC student who supports her
two children through welfare.
She's the one who cannot reveal
her true identity to the
Beachcomber because she is
fearful welfare people might
reduce her checks.
Remember Alice? It seemed
that no one did when Alice held
her second organizational meet-
ing Tuesday, October 29. The
only persons in attendance were
two close friends.
Now Alice is resigned to
fighting as a one-man army in
hisr efforts to correct the welfare
system, which she feels
encourages persons NOT to
better themselves.
This student is not like many
welfare mothers who sit around
waiting for their checks each
month. Instead, Alice is
interested in bettering herself
by obtaining a Basic Educatio-
nal Opportunity Grant (BEOG)
to further her goal of becoming
a veterinarian.
However, despite a statement
in writing from the state director
of Health, Education and
Welfare that said the BEOG
money was not to be counted as
incoming funds, Alice's welfare
check is reduced because of the
BEOG grant.
BEOG hassles are only one
aspect of Alice's problem. For
example, she is always
concerned about coming up with
more funds since welfare only
pays 68% of her electric, rent,
and phone bills.
Another hassle is the time
consumed in constantly verify-
ing her spending - Alice often
must visit the welfare people 4
times a month. ' 'They ought to
make allowances for students,"
she says.
Food is a constant problem.
The county's food stamp
program (her welfare comes
from the state) is based on 1968
prices, according to Alice. The
price of milk has shot up more
than a dollar per ^on since
1968, and is still rising. .
.Alice's food stamps aren't.
Food stamps do not allow for
personal hygiene items.
Hygiene is certainly a must for
Alice, since she is working
part-time as a veterinarian's
aide. While she is at work and
school her two children are
becoming cluttered, rumpled,
and dirtied at a local day-care
center.
Through all these problems,
Alice is just seeking a quiet,
private, and full life for herself
and two children. She contends
that "you never have a private
life while you're on welfare.
"They (welfare workers) tell
you 'of course you have sex.*
Then before you can say
anything, they tell you to go to
the Abortion clinic!"
At the first meeting to
organize some support for the
students-on-welfare cause, one
woman contended that welfare
workers "had the nerve to
accuse me of encouraging my 16
year old daughter to become
pregnant so I could get more
money coming in."
While laughing at the welfare
worker's accusation, the wo-
man, almost in disgust, thou^t
aloud, "I would think they
would give you a little more for
trying to improve yourself."
Unfortunately, the woman
and others with the same strong
sentiments who were at the first
meeting could not join Alice at
the second organizational meet-
ing.'
Alice had hoped to set up
some type of organization to
help those welfare recipients
that go to school - an
organization that could collect-
ively go to school officials and
local politicians for help.
Not totally distraught by the
poor October 29 turnout, Alice
still intends to fight for her
rights.
"I don't want to live in a

Record Review
On "Thrust"
^ Jimmy Neil — '
Herbie Hancock, long time composer and jazz man, and expert
manipulator of many sundry layers of keyboards has recently
released his newest album on Columbia Records entitled "Thrust",
As composer and keyboard man with Miles Davis from 1953 to
1968, Hancock long ago made his mark in the jazz community and
afterwards began putting out solo albums.
' Today Hancock heads the most sought-after jazz combo in the
U.S. His previous LP, "Head Hunters", has sold more copies than
any other album by a jazz performer.
Lately, he has been getting more into funky material influenced
by such commercial black performers as Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone,
and Stevie Wonder and combining it with his past years with Miles
Davis. The result is a jazz-rock being one of the most exuberant,
rich and versatile brands of music to come along since the heyday of
the Stones and the Beatles.
Side two's "Butterfly" reflects most vividly the great Davis
influence.
Appearing om "Thrust", Paul Jackson on electric bass, Mike Clark
on drums, Bill Summers on percussion, Bennie Maupin on all saxes,
flutes, and clarinets, and of course H.H. on electric piano, ciarinel,
raellotron, and various synthesizers.
Maupin recently released his solo LP,a Flower In The Lotus".
"Thrust" is a perfect and prime example of the countless, infinite
possibilities held by jazz and unleashed by Hancock who boasts a
proficient style of playing all his own. You will surely hear a group
ever-flowing with plenty of color and balance.
The album is full of rich improvisations which are the backbone of
the music. Each instrumentalist's ability to create a melody and
then take off and dismember it to varying degrees of force and
fluctuation without losing any feeling, produces a very deep
dimension to each piece. In fact, in all the funkiness a certain
tranquil quality is often felt.
Feeling and dimension these two terms best describe what
"Thrust's" music is all about.
Hancock's "Thrust" is an electronic jazz extravaganza that
should apeal to the black soul crowd, jazz buffs, and to most rocleti
as well.

'Frankly Speaking
Free Entertainment At AV Center
'Frank Smith-
There is a lot of entertainment
here at PBJC. Some of it costs a
lot, but then some of it is free.
"Free?" someone asks.
"Free." I answered, "It's a
good deal if you can find it."
". . And you found it?" that
same persons asks. "Yes," I
answered adding, "I found it
very pleasing. It can be found
by anyone down on the first
floor of the library."
"You mean the Audio-Visual
Room?" someone else asked
me.
"Yeah. A lot of people think
that all they have down there is
instructional tapes, but a lot of
times people forget that they
often can have fun learning." I
pointed out.
"Name one tape down there
that would be fun to watch." I
was challenged.
■ "I'll name a few. Anyone
interested in the sciences would
probably enjoy watching "The
Nearest Star" which is all about
the sun, or "Exploring The
Planets", or even 'The Solar
System.'
They might examine the
future through Alvin Toffler's
film 'Future Shock' or learn of
the ocean through a film called
'The Challenge of the Oceans."
"Furthermore," I continued
"People who have an interest in
music can enjoy a flick called,
'Discovering Electronic Music'
or one called, 'Music of Japan',
or 'American Music From Jazz
to Pop."
"How about us writers? Do
you have anything for us literary
freaks?," the first someone
questions me.
"They have a film on 'Spoon
River Anthology' by Edgar Lee
Masters, and a film on 'Robert
Frost.' Do you thinkthat would
entertain you?" I asked him.
"It probably would!" He
exclaimed, surprised. . ."and
you say it's free?"
"Absolutely!" I declared, but
he had already left, presumedly
seeking firee entertainment.
Carlin Displays Wit
By JOHN AUCHTERLONIE
Co-Editor
Anyone who can comment on
the humorous side of life better
than Mark Twain or Will Rogers
is George Carlin. He has been
described as the "Will Rogers
of the Atomic Age."
Carlin is best known from his
albums, "Class Clown" and
"AM/FM". In these two
recordings are the combination
of his fast talking and creative
wit.
This Friday evening's pro-
gram started with a warnjup
group called Travis Shoo|^ and
the Club Wow. Their show
consisted of two dudes who
played the guitar and sang
corny songs. One of their
selections consisted of a song
dedicated to minerals, simply
because they felt that "there
was one field the current 'rock'
scene had not touched upon."
Carlin's performance was
totally opposite to those seen on
TV. He was extremely informal.
His show consisted of material
picked at random about God,
Catholicism phrases and words
we take for granted or never use
and drugs.
The show was very funny and
Carlin simply amazed everyone
with the continuous flow of his
new and witty material. As if
this were not enough, Carlin
displayed another talent. He
played a mean honky-tonk
piano.

Optimism Soars
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
Size and speed are the key words to this year's JC basketball
squad, according to head coach Bob Wright.
The head mentor is beginning his fourth season at the reigns of
JC s roundball team, which finished second in the state last season.
"We're bigger than any other team we've had here," "We're
equal witli experience and inexperience."
Wright said his club has speed as well as bench strength.
"The team seems to be working harder," he says. "We're not as
far back as last year because of our experience."
He cited Donald Burns, Bill brandon, Dick Rousche and Guy
Poyastro as key people in the Pacers' state competition hopes.
With three out of the five starters
back from last year's 22-7 club,
Wright feels he has an even better
team this year. The squad misses
the presence of Keith Highsmith
who was selected as a junior college
Ail-American.
Speaking of Division IV this year,
Wright says it will be a toss up
between six schools.

"(Miami Dade) South, (Miami Dade) North, IRCC, Broward

"It's a much stronger league all the way across the board."
Before coming to JC, Wright coached in Kentucky. His high
school coaching days shewed a 300 plus win record against slightly
over 70 defeats.
'Since coming to JC, his teams have won 63 and lost 25.

In their third start of the

The Pacers finished fourth in

Mike Sim has been playing
the most consistent golf of the

Sim's 75 average is followed
closely by Gregg Clatworthy's

Last Thursday and Friday the
team traveled to Fort Myers to
play in the Edison Community
Collegfe Invitational at the Cape

The results of the invitational
were not available at press time.
"We seem to be improving
after every round," Daughtery
adds, "our last four-man total in
competition was 296, our lowest
of the year by five shots."
If the team keeps improving
the Pacers could be a strong
contender when Broward puts
its title on the line in the state
tournament next May.

Faculty Senate Votes Repeal
By BRIAN E.CROWLEY
News Editor
Faculty senators overwhel-
tningly voted in favor of a Math
Department resolution repeal-
ing an' unconstitutional decision
to reveal Instructor of Distinct-
ion scores.
The resolution stated in part,
"Faculty senators are elected to
represent the views of their
departments but had no
opportunity to consult their
departments and in as much
that the vote on this matter was
taken on the first reading in
direct violation of the senate
constitution, the Math Depart-
ment does on record that this
vote should be declared null and
void."
In opposition to the resolut-
ion. Dr. Samuel Bottoato
compared' the faculty senate
with the U.S. Congress by
saying, "We have been to many
wars without any declaration of
war by congress. Don't tell me
we have to be slaves to a certain
body of rules and regulaticMis by a
fellow named Roberts (Roberts
Rules of Order). I can show you
where he says himself that it is
the consent of the group."
"I don't think that we need to
declare the previous decision
null and void," added Bottosto.
The Math Department was
asked to clarify their position,
and they replied, "Our feeling
was that it (IDA motion) should
have been open to discussion;
let the departments advise their
people then come back to vote."
The Math Department re-
solution was the result of a vote
Students were given the opportunity to farther
understand the fight against abortion when the
Palm Beach County Right to Life League visited
the Lucy booth on November 12.
The Right to Life League Is a. volunteer,
non-profit organization geared to publicize the
value of human life. They serve the needs of the
women who elect to continue her pregnancy;
while trying to alleviate counseling, medical, and
economic problems. They also operate a crisis
Life Line [842-4621], which offers emergency
services to those in need.
While at JC, the organization distributed
pamplets to the students. They feel the more ^
Informed one is on the issue, the better equipped §
she will be to make a decision ™
Some students, however, feel that the cafeteria g
is a poor place to present their case. Requesting S
the booth be moved, they cited the presentation S
as being "untactful" and "unappetizing". S
Volunteers for the program are jtrained hi a 5
special course given by Dr. Alsofrom, Volunteer a
Trainfaig Center Director. s
The Right to Life League also gives a variety of S
talks and presentations to various organizations g
throughout the county
taken at the previous senate
meeting concerning a motion to
reveal to the individual faculty
member his IDA score. That
motion was passed following a
lengthy debate, with only one
reading in the senate. The vote
was in violation of the
constitution which requires that
a vote not be taken until after a
second reading at a subsequent
meeting.
Mr'. Gross, a former member
of the senate, objected to the
Math Department proposal.
"There were many instances-,
where a second reading was not
necessary. This was nothing
more than a move to clarify the
duties and responsibilities of the
committee," Gross told the
senate.
Mr. Schmiederer reminded
the senate that they were there
to represent the entire faculty,
"We didn't do that; we didn't
do what they elected us to do on
this."
The issue of revealing the
IDA scores is now back before
the senate and at their next
meeting a second reading will
take place.
In other business, straws
were drawn to determine the
length of office of the current
chairman and vice-chairman.
Mrs. Vignau won the draw and
will serve in office for two years
as vice-chairman, and Max
AUee is to be chairman for one
year.
Kenan Foley was elected to
the Faculty Affairs Committee.
He is replacing Allee who is no
longer eligible to serve on the
committee.
Action on a new sick leave
_ program was sent to committee
S for further study.

Too Few Resolutions
Senators Told Wasting Time
By JOEL TANEN
Staff Writer
The Student Government
Senate was accused Thursday of
wasting time and doing an
inadequate job for the student
body.
"You waste a lot of time,"
said Dan Hendrix, Ex-Offlcio
Senate member.
He told senators to "get out
of Mr bashfulness" and talk
with students to see what they
want done.
Hendrix got involved in the
SG Senate because he feels JC
has a good SG and he is tired of
seeing "lousy" senates. He
said too many i senators expect to
reach the top in politics without
working to get there. Hendrix
suggested senators "do their
homework!"
SG Vice President Dolor
Ginchereau, -informed senators •
that in the piast few days some
people have been complaining
about only a few items
appearing on the Senate
Agenda each week.
"I am not responsible for that
you are!" said Ginchereau. He
said he is only responsible for
putting "old business" on the
agenda.

Wanted: One Book Drop
By ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Student Government's Executive Board
appropriated $100 for a downstairs book drop and
discussed extending the library's , hours during
the week of exams, at the November 12 meeting.
A book drop would be a great convenience for
students, according to SG Vice-President Dolor
Ginchereau.
"Students can drop books off oh the way to
class or the parking lot without having to go
upstairs," he noted.
The east side of the Business Administration
Building is the planned site of this operation.
A motion was passed to appropriate $100 for
materials, while the Administration absorbs the
remaining cost. Construction will be done by
maintainence.
Mr. Daniel Hendrix, a member of the SG
Advisory Committee, said that the Administra-
tion should take care of funds for the book drop,
and it should not come from SG's budget.
Executive Board members diiscussed the
feasibility of extending the library's hours on
school nights and Saturday and Sunday during
exam week.
Mr. Arnold Freedman, Chairman of the
Advisory Committee, commented that the
library's hours should be extended year round.
Cost of personnel is a problem. It was
suggested that volunteer students could work in
the library during the extra hours, along with
limited personnel.
No definite decision has been reached to date.

Enrollment will be approximately the same for the winter-
term as it was for the fall term. Accordhig to Registrar,
Laurence Mayfield, there will not be much difiference except
the possibility of a slight decrease.
2859 students had registered as of Wednesday November
13. Mayfield comments that many of the day students are not
sure whether or not they are retumhig for the whiter term.
M*ayfield believes this is one of the best and smoothest
registrations, as there were no long lines. [Ha, Ha, Has].
Many of the 2859 registered students have not yet pidd their
fees. Mayfield notes that if these fees a^ not paid by
December 27 their schedule will be cancelled.

Registration A-OK
Both pre-registration and registration at JC usually brings a wave
of criticism and complaints that flood the registrar's office.
However, the pre-registration for the winter term went speedily and
fairly well. Compliments must go to Registrar Lawrence Mayfield
for a job well done.
Scheduling classes was a breeze; howevet, several students
complained of conflicts that should have been avoided. For
example, the Public Speaking course needed for graduation of
Journalizm A.A. students is in direct conflict with Journalism 201,
an advanced laboratory class.
Though errors are hard to avoid, it seems that for a college this
size, major ones can be thwarted. Once again, Congrats go to the
Registrar's office and staff for a job well done.

Lucy's Booth
Aborts Appetite
The entrance to the JC cafeteria became
reminicseni of the goriest scenes in "The
E.\orcist" when a Lucy Booth debuted under the
guidance of the "Right to Life" League.
Stomachs turned and appetites disappeared
when students ^ were conlVonted with eight
full-color photographs of babies and aborted
fetuses. The league, which has taken a very
strong stand against abortion, is entitled to its
opinion, but the- cheap shock value methods
utilized in getting their point across are just that
cheap. Granted, playing on people's emotions
and .sympathy is an ea.sy way to achieve support,
but the approach taken was simply in very poor
taste.
A complaint made by students was sufficient to
change the booth's location away from the
cafeteria entrance, but the conduct of the persons
operating the booth continued. A "Lucy Booth"
is theoretically a place where interested students
can gel questions answered; booth operators
continually violated this by standing directly in
the hallway, stopping people who weren't
interested, and getting into arguments while
attempting to further their cause.
Standards should be set to prevent the
misconduct of invited guests and groups on
campus. Also, material and preseniaiinn
approaches should be previewed in order to
establish the proper areas in which these booths
should be set up. Bloody. aborted feiuscs, with
arms aii>i legs sticking out, do not belong at

In a small corner of our campus we are talking
about educational improvements and the

Learning is one place where dreams are born and
the courage to bring about revolutionary changes
is nurtured.

APartial Picture
Editor:
Once again the Beachcomber has resorted to
the abhorrent policy of providing the students of
PBJC with only a partial picture of newsworthy
events on campus. The most recent example of
this is the editorial appearing in the November
11, 1974, issue entitled "Honorable?".
The entire editorial is erroneous; from the
misleading introduction that, "The Student
Government Senate has taken it upon
themselves. . .to award honorariums and special
privileges for each member of the Senate," to the
ludicrous implication that no type of ". .
.supervision over who gets the money, , ." has
been established.
The students of PBJC should have been told
that all members of the Executive Board now
receive honorariums. And that members of the
Beachcomber staff receiving about $1000.00 PER
TERM of "special privileges", not to mention
students in Athletics. The point is that the
Student Government Senators simply want equal
spoils for equal toils.
The argument, as presented in the editorial
concerning why the Senators feel the
honorariums are warranted is a blatant lie. The
Senators feel the honorariums wilt enhance the
continuity of the Senate, and therefore provide
more beneficial legislation.
There is one sentence in this editorial which is
true:
"Senators serve the students because they
want to, not because of a token sum of monev."
( l^BVBrbBrafiom )
\iXiMmmimmiiiii— I iiin ii ii m i m n ummmt^tmimt^mmie
Why does the Beachcomber fail to serve the
students by not reporting all the facts regarding
Senatorial honorariums';" Could it be that greed
overshadowed those who are so "Honorable?"
Dave Upshaw
SG Senator
Editor:
It seems that no one can be completely happy
with the campus radio, WRAP. 1 have read at
least two derogatory articles concerning the
station in the Beachcomber. 1 am amazed at the
plasticity of the complaints.
Obviously, all the people can't be pleased all
the time. But instead of trying to put down
something that was.started for the students, why
not look at the good aspects of it?
The music is of good variety and ai a noise
level that is not as loud as suggested in the
previously mentioned articles. When asking
friends who study and socialize in the cafeteria, 1
have found few complaints about the station.
So instead of complaining, why not "get Jt
together" and enjoy the station. After all, isn't
that the purpose of it?

sustaining.
"We want to make it a
self-sustaining body," com-
mentedPutt. "I will assure you
that there is a program on foot
that will affect every student
here."
Putt's ambition is for all JC
graduates to leave the campus
knowning they have friends
here. He also wants all
government officials and teach-
ers fo wear name tags, so
students can recognize them.

Feminist Chivalry
— '. — J. Michele Natter-
Fee Meeting Due
Quick! Think of the Middle
Ages! Castles, crusades. King
Arthur, Guinevere, knights,
ladies. , .and chivalry.
The feminist movement and
chivalry have somehow become
inexplicably tied. Chivalry is
linked with love and respect;
therefore, by losing chivalry,' a
wom£in loses love and respect.
Amazing! Who would have
thought the "Battle of the
Doors" could cause so much
trouble?
Why should the threat of loss
of vestige chivalry be so great?
Because the concept of love that
supportis it is a unique and
fundamental creation of thou-
ght.
Important things happened to
this concept during the Middle
Ages, among them was the
codification of attitudes toward
women.
Ladies were put on a
pedestal, virtuous, beautiful
and gracious (sounds more like
a goddess,than a flesh and blood
woman).
Unfortunately, this definition
was applied only to the female
aristocracy. What about the
other 95!4% of the female
population?
Perhaps it is best put into
words by the monk of
IVIontandum (1180 - 1213):
"And I hold that woman to be
a bore
Who is both poor and
disdainful. . .
And I am bored, by Saint Aon
By a broad woman with a
narrow cleft.,'.'
Obviously" (here are, two
definitions of wonien presented
here. Perhups the comments by
John Benton on courtly love
clarify the necessity of chivalry.
"Whateftects did the canons
of courtesy iiavo on the status of
vvonien.' Courtesy was created
lor men for their own
-.aii.^raction and it emphasized a
"Oman's role as an object.

sexual or otherwise.
Since they did not encourage
a genuine respect for women as
individuals, the conventions of
medieval chivalry did not
advance women toward legal or
social emancipation."
To continue this train of
thought, chivalry denotes res-
pect, respect leads to love, to be
loved one must be feminine.
Love is having a door open for
you. I wonder who said, "I'd
rather have equal pay and be
able to employ a doorman?"
It could be that rising cries of
fetninism pose a serious threat;
the placebo of love and chivalry
are being trotted out again,
brushed up and polished.
Certainly morally uplifting,
love was just one of many
sentiments expressed about
women during the Middle Ages.
It was not universal, it appiied
only to noble wonien. It made
no positive changes for the
reality of live of medieval
women.
Today ihis concept has been
selei'ted from our past; it is
univeis;i!ly tnuted. its benefit to
uoniankind extrollcd.
This cuncept of love offers
women a false sense of power, it
restricts the ways which men
must deal with women to a
narrow dimension of human
capacity and it permits men to
discoiiiit the competency of
women in men's iibscncc.

Having received Board of
Trustee approval of his activity
fee plan at' the October 16
board meeting, SG President
Tory Buckley feels that a
meeting of thie Student Activity
Fee Committee could come
early in the 'Winter Term.
One reason for the earlier
meeting is that the committee
must project how many students
will be in attendance for the
1975-76 school year. Since
organization budgets must be
turned in to various JC
departments in early spring, a
percentage allocation could not
be used, accoi^ing to Buckley.
"The only thing you can do is
project the amount of enroll-
ment or credit hours taken,"
comments Buckley. "What you
have to base it on is the year
before and the year before
that." •
Another reason for an early
winter meeting is dissention
over the second part of the
Buckley plan in vvhich all monies
left over at the end of the school
year will revert back to the
organization's budget.
JC President Dr. Harold C.
Maiioi had wanted the monies
to revert back to the general
fund, and following defeat of his
proposal said, "the students
might as well spend it anyway."
SG President Buckley is
concerned about contentions
from Manor and others that the

unwisely.
According to Buckley, "The
committee will definitely look at
the budgets of all organizations
probably a little more closely so
we can avoid any kind, of
contentions over not spending
money wisely."
The Student Activity Fee
Committee is composed of
advisors and student represen-
tatives from athletics. Student
Government, the Beachcomber,
Media, Galleon, Assemblies
Committee, and also two SG
senators and one member of the
SG Executive Board.
resolutions committee swamped
with resolutions," said Senator
Dave Upshaw. "I would like to
see this floor soking from the
debate on any good issue."
As far as revising the student
body constitution, Senator Rob
Abrams, chairperson of the
Constitutional Amendments
Committee, said "We still
operate under the present
constitution and we are still
bound to this constitution."
The constitution does not
specifically state impeachment
proceedings. Ginchereau said
the Constitutional Amendments
Committee would work on that
problem. The committee will
look at other college constitut-
ions and come up with a
complete method for impeach-
ment of SG officials.
The senate passed a Constit-
utional Amendment, 17 - 1,
which allows the Seante to pass
an amendment by two-thirds
vote of all Senators voting and
present at senate meetings.
The amendment, written by Bill
Penney and Rob Abrams, is
being sent to the College
Activity Committee for appro-
val. If the coiiimittee approves
the amendment, it will then
have to be ratified by the
student body in an election.
Dan Buckley was sworn in as
a senator Thursday. He took the
oath of office and is now an
official senator.
After eight Senate sessions,
three resolutions, one Bill of
Appropriations, and several
Constitutional Amendments left
over from last year have been
passed.

Secretary Constance Holmes said the bulletin boards are also
needed because they show more detail than the calendar board.
The Executive Board passed a motion to underwrite tickets for

students are entitled to pay half price to see James Brown on
November 22 and Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge on

Final approval of $1,000 for the 50's dance was delayed until the

Evening Reporter
It is an interesting surprise to note all the
activity revolving in our North Center. Many of
the classes are strictly academic and comparable
to the main campus. On the other hand, you will
find proportionately more community activities at
the Palm Beach center.
Aroma from cooking classes welcomes you as
you approach the main corridor. You might hear
the beating of drums or a choral offering from
a'far. All of this is housed in Palm Beach Gardens
High School except the main office which is an
elaborate mobile home west of the building. A
portion of the school is in barracks, which adjoin
main structure.
Evening students may here fulfill JC
requirements for comprehensive subjects such as
Freshman Communications, Principles of
Biology, Healthful Living, General Math and
many others from term to term,
Robert D'Angio is evening coordinator of this
"jumping" place and keeps everything well
organized. Also involved in this very busy
organization is Richard Ferrara, director of
community activities. Many offerings of the
latter classification are non-credit but serve other
useful purposes in the community, such as first
aid, art, decoupage, handicrafts, and anything
that is in great demand.
For students living in that end of the city, the
Gardens is really a great convenience.

Sociology Studies
Cindy Cowen.
Are you an "idea" person? Does your imagination at times carry
you a little out of reality? Are you a sociable person and one wlio
gets off on understanding what makes a person tick? To sum it up,
if mankind and the study of human behavior 'intrigues you, you may
inevitably some day wish to make the sociological study of your
profession.
Public relations is a field so many of us use ourselves
(nonprofessionally) every day just in dealing with fellow mates and
adults - bot those we like and dislike. Public relations personnel arc
dealing with ideas and people all the time. A good public relations
man is creative, able to mix well socially and able to converse on a
variety of subjects. He should also be outgoing and able to evaluate
people and situations, and above all, he must have good judgement
and leadership qualities to inspire and teach his fellow workers and
public.
Public relations workers are responsible for developing and
maintaining public opinion favorable to the organizations |uang
their services. They have become valued as advisers on policy in
the organizations where they work. A good Public Relations
program takes into consideration the likes, dislikes, needs, and
interests of the public in attempting to win their approval of a client,
product, or service represented 'by the public relations man.
Employment can be found in such places as: schools, hospitals,
information services, trade and professional organizatioris,
legislative lobbying, commercial and industrial firms, advertising
agencies, and many more. Most trainees in public relations work
receive starting salaries of about $6,000 ot $8,000 and after several
years experience can be earning as much as $25,000 and on up ,
Public relations in the state of Florida is certainly vastly iniportant
for the obvious reason that so many of our population originates
from all over the country, and in addition - we all are aware of the
rapid expansion and growth of this state in industry, technology,
etc.
Though public relations is a relatively new field, courses are
offered at PBJC and other junior colleges throughout the U.S. as a
major, public relations courses should fall under journalism,
business, or liberal arts.
The courses would include subjects concerning: psychology,
political science, history, sociology, anthropology, public speaking,
and in some cases, marketing, business, and advertising.
In conclusion: the "complete" public relations man must
continue to be a perennial student in the art- and science of public
opinion and communication as they apply in public relations.

'Comber Play Review
Ploy Foils To Move
By FRANK SMITH
Entertainment Co-Editor
"The Sign In Sidney
Brustein's Window" was a play
of much action. The action,
however did not take place
physically but rather verbally.
There was a lot to be heard by
those people willing to listen but
little to see for those people
expecting visual action. The
little physical action that was
there was expressionistic act-
ions often used by conversat-
ionalists, such as hand motions
facial expressions, and pacing
back and forth.
Unfortunately, all that the
play consisted of was conver-
sation.
Granted, what conversation
was there was interesting,
presenting many interesting
phrases, and much witticism.
Iris Brustein, portrayed very
well with close character
identification by Karen Moore,
made a memorable statement
when she spoke of going to an
audition. Iris was a bad actress
but in her own eyes she was
good. She made the statement,
"No matter how hard you try,
you can never do it (the scene)
as good as you did the night
before, in front of the mirror."
This statement is very interest-
ing in that it points out how Iris,
when looking at herself through
the mirrors eyes (or her own
eyes) considers herself a good
actress, but when she looks at
herself through the eyes of the
producer at the audition, she
sees herself as he does, a bad
actress.
Gloria Parodus is an unhappy
hooker in the play. She is
puzzled by how people often
believe they have to do things
they really don't want to. This
is interesting because she is a
prostitute though she doesn't
want to be. "The things people
think they have to do. ." she
. states.
Gloria was portrayed rather
effectively by Kitty Albertson.
All through the play the
characters made intellectual
comments which directly refle-
cted their positions in life.
The play was very intellectu-
ally orientated. Those who do
not feel like examining every
line for its hidden meanings
would find it relatively point-
less. Not much happened! The
characters go together and
conversed.
The remaining characters all
had their moments of witticism.
Sidney Brustein was played
by Joe Redon who did a good job
.for his' first appearance on
stage, Alton Scales was
characterized well by Keith
:Cooper. Mavis Parodus was a
very nice character that was

r
It seems to me that movies,
riowadays are beginning to
present the strangest people as
their heroes. Think for a
moment, about the heroes of
such movies as, "Clockwork
Orange", "Groove Ttibe",
"Magnum Force", "Franken-
stein," "The Mechanic," and of
the strange: happenings in the
movie "The Last House on the
Left".
Someone,- somewhere, said
this before, "They don't make
movies like they used to
anymore."
Violence is a science and love
is just a game, they're not the
same. The characters are killers
or thieves at their best,
Hollywood finds they have more
color than the rest. It used to
be, you could see your hero save
the day, but now we cheer, just
to see our hero get away.
Simple stories don't exist, all
of them persist in winding down
the beaten path towards a novel
twist.
Men are more than friends
they are lovers oftentimes, and
every heroine . is apt to be
attacked when she reclines.
When the plot is getfing dull.
and the lines are getting stale,
they interject a murder, or two,
it never fails.
In movies, there are life's
degenerations, psychotic com-
plications religious implications,
all of them explored, but were
often better off when they're
ignored.
They just don't make them
like they used to anymore. I
started out poetic, but I will turn
prophetic, tosay that if they let it
go much farther I will probably
-go quite mad. (Not that I'm
not mad now, after remember-
ing all those terribly stupid
movies, I mean. . .)

''Odessa" Different
'John
Intrigue
Auchterlonie*
In the current wa've of
nostalgia and disaster movies,
we have a change of pace: ' 'The
Odessa File."
This former number one best
seller brings us the story of a
personal manhunt for a Nazi
executioner who is living under
an alias somewhere in Ger-
many,
The intrigue of the movie
involves Jon Voight, the film's
star, finding a book telling about
a secret underground organiza-
tion of Nazi members. These
men live under aliases so they
won't be prosecuted for war
crimes they committed during.
Hitler's mass executions.
As Voight tries to track one of
these men down, he learns that
someone is trying to stop him.
After an attempt on his life,
he is kidnapped by an
underground Israeli group. He
is persuaded to disguise himself
as a former Secret Service (SS)
member and infiltrate Odessa,
exposing the members and
convicting the ones who were
responsible for carrying out
Hitler's war atrocities •
Voight does this surprisingly
fast and to top it off he pinpoints
the man he's after in a matter of
days. Then comes the climactic
moment when Voight meets him
eye to eye. They both exchange
philosophies and the ending is
surprising but not shocking.
The action seems to be taken
out of spy movies and there are
at least three humorous parts in
the whole film.
What the film has going for it
is intrigue and exceptional
settings. Although the story
and action sound over-used, the
.stoiy is interesting and realistic.
The filming is beautiful,
making full use of Germany's
many new and old settings
combined with modern camera
angles and techniques.
This is Voight's best
performance since "Midnight
Cowboy." Would you believe
he speaks broken English
throughout the movie?
With the prices of films
nowadays, it becomes harder
and harder to occasionally see
movies. "The Odessa File",
like any other, has its own
appeal to its own audience in it's
own way.

Jazz and Blues music was the
topic of the November 13 music
seminar sponsored weekly by
the JC music depanment.
A seven member ensemble
consisting ol Mr. Bill Prince
from Florida Atlantic University
playing the trumpet and
fluegelhom. Mr. Jim Gross of JC
on the baritone saxophone, alto
saxophone and the clarinet. Mr.
Sy Pryweller of JC on the
drums, Mr. Tom Webb free-
lance musician playing the
trombone Mr. Wally Cirillo
professional musician on the
pinao. Mr. Walter Ellefson
professional musician on the
bass guitar, and Mr. Ron
Davidson professional and
part-time JC instructor playing
the tenor saxophone.
The group opened with a
blues song, just blues as it was
explained by Mr. Prince wno
arranged and spoke for the
group. Mr. Prince pointed out
just what makes blues blues and
said that a musician must be
trained to play in a blues
fashion.
The audience which filled the
large HU 4 room was further
entertained listening to some
well known songs like One
O'clock Jump. Struttin' With
Some Barbecue, a combination
of Whispering and Groovin
High, Poopsie, and the theme
from the Last Tango in Paris.
Mr. Prince explained that the
seven ensemble members could
perform a jazz or blues
arrangement spontaneously be-
cause of their musical back-
ground. So without pre-plann-
ing the ensemble harmonized
and united to end the

Pacers Entertain
Sallfish In Debut
Bv TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Writer
With the desire to return to
liie state tournament embedded
in *iitnr brains, the Pacer
basketball team opens the
season Wednesday night
against Palm Bc.ich Atlantic's
.(V team.
Tip-ofl IS slated for 7:30 p.m.
with ihu doors opening at p.m.
rickets are $1 for adults and JC
students with ID get in free.
The home opener against the
Sailfish is the only contest on
ihe JC hardwood until Dec. 14.
The F^acers travel to Seminole
Saturday night and play in two
lournaments over the Thanks-
giving break.
Beginning his fourth year at
the helm. Bob Wright comes off
his most successful year (22-7)
with a dub of depth, speed and
experience,
"I probably won't know until
Tuesday night who I'll start,"
commented Wright.
Battling for the two forward
positions are Miguel (Gus)
Poyastro, a 6'6" sophomore
from Akron, Ohio; Bill Brandon,
co-captain, a 6'3" sophomore
from Twinshurg, Ohio; and
Victor Dubo.sc,.a b'5" freshman
from Cleveland, Ohio.
Poyastro was selected to the
All F.ICC State Tournament
team last year. Brandon started
about 3/4 of last year's season
and Duho.se has a .soft touch and
good quickness according to the
coaches.
In the middle will be either
Richard "Tiny" Mitchell, a 7'
sophomore from Taylor, Michi-
gan: or Richard Nelson, a 6'4"
sophomore jumping-jack from
Riviera Beach.
The best race is at guard.
Four men are to see plenty of
action. Donald Burns, a 6'3"
hometown .sophomore, is said to
have the quickest hands in
town. Cunningham, a 6'
lieshman from mount Sterling,
Kv., is possibly the best shooter
on the club. Mike Gibbs, a
5' 10" freshman, also from
Mount Sterling, is another
prospect to replace Ail-Ameri-
can Keith Highsmith, Letter-
man Dick Rousche, a 6'3"
sophomore from Cincinnati, is
an excellent clutch player,
"A starting position on our
ball club is not that important
Fowl Event
because we substitute. We play
everybody," said Wright.
Balance has been a JC
trademark as evidenced by six
players in double figures last
sea.son. Four of those six have
returned along with several top
recruits. This gives the Pacers a
formidable nucleus to build
around.
Wright commented that
Coach George Perides' Sailfish
have a well-disciplined club.
"We had a tough time beating
them last year."
Saturday the Pacers travel to
Sanford to tangle with Semi-
nole. "Joe Sterling always does
a good job," Wright commen-
ted. "They've been in the state
tournaments every year."
Karen Anderson is one of eight Pacer cheerleaders for the
1974-75 basketball season.

The annual Turkey Trot is to
he run at 11:00 a.m. on
Thursday. Nov. 21, on the
jogging course. It is open to
everybody and all participants
will be excused from class at
1 1:(){) to compete.
The Turkey Trot which has
liccii a traditional event around
riianksgiving lor the past five
years, is changing its ibrm this
vear.
The format which used to
consist of running the jogging
course, with the winners being
decided by who was the fastest,
has been changed to give
everybody a chance.
At every quarter-mile pole the
contestants must answer three
questions dealing with sports
activities. For each question
answered contestants will be
given a symbol, and they must
have nine symbols when they
ero,ss the finish line since there
will be three quarter-mile poles
on the mile long course.
Coach Roy Bell, Intramural
director, hopes to increase on
the previous high of thirty-six
contestants participating.
The Turkey Trot which has
usually been divided into four
divisions, a men's and women's
student and a men's and
women's faculty, will just be an
open competition this year.

After listening to Burns, one
might conclude that the Pacers
have already made it.
According to the West Palm

hard to .schedule opponents
because peopple were scared to

Along with Burns and
returning starters Gus Poyastro,
William Hall, and Bill -Brandon
other reasons that opponents
were reluctant to schedule JC
might be newcomers Richard
"Tiny" Mitchell and Mike
Gibbs.

and both can shoot and handle

Many of Gibbs' passes may
be directed at the Pacers' 7 -
center Mitchell, a transfer
student from Taylor. Michigan.
Likewise. Burns is high on him.
JC Coach Wright commented
following the Chipola loss that
"We weren't getting enough
rebounds." and Burns feels that
the presence of "Tiny" in the
middle should eliminate the
problem.
Last season. Burns was the
leader of a' tough defensive
press that often embarrassed
opponents. The Pacers,
described by. Burns as a
"running team," should con-
tinue the same style of -plav in
1974.
"We recruit players to fit this

forsees continued upgrading of

* Six Common Mistakes Of Amateurs [
Timothy L.Braym
Around the clay courts,
familiar expressions are heard
such as "She's got the
backhand of Billie Jean," or
"His serve is as hard as Jimmy
Connors'." Even, "His mouth
is worse than lUe Nastase's."
But for us twice a week tennis
advocates, no real comparison
can be drawn. They're pro's
and let's face it, we're duffers.
Consequently, we should not
lay as if we're pro's.
Recently Converse circulated
pamphlet explaining the six
lost common mistakes of a
fvice a week tennis player.
The first mistake is taking the
ourt.
Actually, few players warm
p sufficiently. Hitting a few
alls against the backboard is
ot enough. Jumping jacks,
'oodchoppers or any other
alisthenics loosen up all of the
ght muscles.
Secondly, too many players'
irst service is "faster than a
peeding bullet." Then, when
hat fails to get in, they play
latty cake. The object of the
game is to beat your opponent,
not yourself.
As is common to the baseball
pitcher, the smart players will
keep their opponent off balance
and confused with steady placed
serves.
The third common mistake,
according to the pamphlet, is
"... firsi
misiakeis
ioking the
court,"
playing for the big shots. Let
your opponent thank God after
pushing one down the line,
hitting the outside part of the
chalkline.
Sooner or later, your
oppojient will beat himself.
Common mistake number
four involves the "Killer
Complex." Most twice a
weekers hit the overhead
smash, try to hit the ball twice
the speed of sound, and usually
watch it sail over the fence.
Re-emphasized is that the
steady shots are the best shots.
Mistake number five is
playing doubles is not the same
as playing singles. The key to
playing doubles is strategy and
control of the net. The best way
in which to learn more about
doubles is to read books about
the subject and consult a pro.
The final mistake, as outlined,
is thinking that you're number
one and no one can tell you how
to play tennis. No player in the
country outgrows the advice of
an experienced coach or a pro.
The six most common
mistakes were put together by
the United States Professional
Tennis Association.
It's my dream to play like

SG Looks ForStudent Gripes
ByJOELTANEN
Staff Writer
Student Government's Senate agreed Thursday to
set up a Grievance Committee which would allow any
JC student an opportunity to present gripes or give
suggestions on what SG can do for the student body.
Senator Sam Putt came up with the idea and said "I
feci that a Grievance Committee where students can
come if they have a grievance, would be, for the Senate,
a window from the students to the Senate"
Putt feels that Senators should be outgoing and not
afraid to talk to people.
SG President Tory S, Buckley, concurred, saying SG
is "to serve" the .students. "I think we have all failed
in that mission," Buckley said. The President said SG
has an "open door" policy for all JC students.
Referring to the Grievance Committee, Buckley said
"You're not going to get the people to come to you.
Three or four people do not represent the student
body," added Buckley.
Senator Dave Upshaw introduced a resolution stating
that SG has not been representing the student body and
that is an impeachable offense Therefore, the entire
SG should be impeached.
Upshaw feels SG has not been representing the
students as well as it should.
"I feel each one of us has let down the student
body," said Upshaw. Ginchereau told Senators to get
working.
"What we need is for the Senate to get down to
business, stop this internal bickering, and lets get on to
work," Ginchereau stated.
Ginchereau wants Senators to introduce resolutions
that are meaningful for the student body.
"If we fail to do that, the student body will lose faith
in SG," roared Ginchereau.
Ginchereau ended by saying "I will continue to
push. I might make enemies along the way but that's
the situation. Shape up or ship out."
After debate ended on the impeachment resolution,
Upshaw withdrew it saying it would be Impossible to
impeach the entire SG, because there is no Judicial
Board and it would be "ludicrous" to think of such a
happening.
The Senate introduced a resolution that if passed
would end the JC Attendance Policy. The policy states
no student be allowed to miss over 25 percent of any
class without receiving an "F" grade. The resolution
was sent to the Resolutions Committee for research and
will be read next week along with six other resolutions
that were not read Thursday.
Senators will not receive a $50 honorarium this term
because SG doesn't have enough money in its budget.

Students may no longer be

entitled "The Family Rights and

went into effect last Tuesday,
gives students for the first time
(he right to see their own files,

to school officials.
According to Registrar Lau-
rence Mayfield, JC already has
an open files policy. "Because
of our open admissions policy
we do not depend on letters of
recommendation," stated May-
field.
Universities must now decide
whether they can still rely upon
letters of recommendation as a
prime source of information in

are no longer confidential.
The law also gives parents of
elementary and secondary
school students the same right
with regards to their children's
records.

to avoid releasing documents to
students.

What are the facts behind the
Flying Saucer reports? Is an
alien intelligence involved? If
so, what is their motivation?
In a paper presented to the
Pennsylvania Sociological Soc-
iety meeting, in Philadelphia on
November 2, ' Dr. Richard
Yinger, one of JC's Social
Science teachers, suggested
that the term "Exosociology"
be used to suggest the
investigation of extraterrestral
life and its possible implications
on our planet.
"At the present," Dr. Yinger
told his colleagues, "biologists
and astromoners are the
primary characters involved in
speculations about extrater-
restrial life. Surely, this is a
field of study far more Suited to
the sociological enterprise."
In developing his ideas. Dr.
Yinger pointed to a growing
belief in many different
scientific fields that extrater-
restrial life is not only possible,
but probable.
"If we are timid, we may well
find ourselves in the embarras-
sing situation of scrambling to
do some studies after the fact of
extraterrestrial life has been
established."
Yinger's hypothesis includes
the visiting life preparing Earth
for its contact by launching a
massive public relations cam-
paign. By using The Reader's
Digest, TV Guide and the
National Geographic as im-
plements they will attempt to
portray life from other planets
as being intelligent and
benevolent rather than the
monsters of older science
fiction.
"The really strange thing
about it is that this is exactly
what is happening on Earth,"
Dr. Yinger pointed out. "Every
medium of mass communicat-
ions is being used to present the
concept of extraterrestrial life as
a valid and real possibility."
Dr. Yinger investigated
briefly the question why the
concept of a technologically
superior civilization has histor-
ically been so frightening,
asking, "Does it have anything

The misplacement of a letter
from an International Chess
Grand Master by SG has ruined
a one time opportunity for the
Chess Club.
In a letter sent to the Dean of
Academic Affairs, Grand Mas- ■
ter Samuel Reshevsky stated he
would be making a transcon-
tinental chess tour this fall and
winter, and would be in the
Palm Beach area from October
22 til! November 12. He
requested that any interested
JC students reply at once to set
a date on which he could visit
the school.
Reshevsky 's exhibition con-
sists of a "simultaneous"
(where Reshevsky plays many
people at once) and a brief
lecture. His charge is $8.00 per
board for students, plus $2.00
Ibr spectators.
The letter, mailed on October
15, was received at the school on
(ictober 18. It required a week
H) get from Dean Glynn's office
o SG, where it was initiated and
then forgotten until the Chess
Club got it on November 12 - the
last day of Reshevsky's Palm
Beach stay.
The delay caused Chess Club
members to miss a rare
opportunity to learn from one of
the world's top chess players.
Chess Club president Terry
Wilkinson expressed his dis-
appointment.
"A Grand Master like
Reshevsky comes along once in
a lifetime. I know seven or eight
members who would have liked
to play him, and probably more-
would have come if we had
advertised in the Daily
Bulletin."
SG secretary Constance
Holmes explained that all
incoming SG mail is placed in
one folder on Tory Buckley's
desk. Officers read their mail,
initial it, and decide where it is
to be sent. Reshevsky's letter'
had been slated to go to the
Chess Club, but it sat in the
folder instead until it was
outdated.
"This is not a justification,
but a reason" Holmes said.
"We (SG) are glad the
problem was brought to our
attention," she continued. "It's
a definite problem, and needs to
be taken care of. From now on,
every Friday the folders will be
reviewed, and any action will be
taken at that time."

Music Overpowers
Apparently our call was unheeded.
As if bloody fetuses outside the cafeteria are not enough,
students are still being overpowered by the campus "radio
station," WRAP.
Two weeks ago we suggested that WRAP, beset with program
and technical problems, should leave the air. We now repeat that
suggestion.
Our campus jocks are still overpowering students with loud,
blaring music played at an indigestion-inducing treble level.
Over a week ago, Dean John Webb of the Journalism Department
at the University of EHorida complained that the music was so loud
that he could not communicate with students he was interviewing.
Webb and his colleagues are trying to help students and probably
do not enjoy talking with musical accompaniment. Certainly no one
involved enjoys straining their ears to hear helpful information.
Even with that point aside, why must the harmonic grinding of

lyi.i prejuaice toward democracy
comes from our fear of losing the
frtedvrn we hold so dear. "
Such is the case of nations. A nation is
compcsed of individuals who are schooled
. through the media of the family, society, the
comminications system and the government to
the trend of thinking that is most common to
those vithin its borders.
We of A-nerica are no different. We have our
mental valis also. We think of democracy as the
extreme in fair government. We believe free
enterpri.se is the backbone of democracy, and we
hold freedom to be God's legacy to all men.
In this respecu we are prejudiced to our
convictions, but our prejudice toward democracy
has come about as a result of our fear of losing
the freedom we hold so dear.
We of America have capitalized on the
complete power which the human mind can
command. We have used the media of education
and judgement without omitting the vital power
of reasoning.
We have seen the different doctrines of the
past take forrrk We are not interested in learning
the foundation of these doctrines. We have
closed our minds and ears but not our eyes.
Before us lay the annals of history with all its
natural cycles. We have observed empires rising
to great heights only to fall beneath the fury of
the sword. We have watched Fascism become a
reality; we have seen such men as Hitler rise like
great eagles only to fall victim to man's basic fear
of enslavement.
Yes, we have watched these doctrines
crumble, draining the blood of the innocent
masses, and from it all we have created an
instinctive prejudiced Democracy.
It is a prejudice because we Americans are cold
to any more fanatical beliefs. ' We believe
democracy to be truth and most will fight to
uphold that truth.
But let us think ahead. If we believe in this
"prejudice of democracy, " if we will not listen to
those who preach communism and other beliefs,
then we must live up to the principals of
democracy or else we are only fooling ourselves.
We have allowed certain petty and biased
opinions to supersede our main thought. In other
words, we cannot be prejudiced about democracy
and still be biased about races and religions
because both are opposite philosophies.
The future of democracy depends upon the
truth of democracy.

have weekend hours.
Indian River Junior College is
one of those schools. The
library there is open both
Saturday and Sunday, but
student response has not been
encouraging for this program.
Two weeks ago, five people
came to the library on Saturday -
only two of which were
students. On Sunday only three
people used library facilities
there.
Eleven years ago, JC's library
was also open on the weekend.
But that was stopped because
there wasn't enough response.
SG leaders thought the four
Sundays before final exams
would be a good time to try
again. And, without trying,
there is no way to tell whether it
will be worthwhile for a longer
period of time.
The library works on a
budget. If money is spent to
keep the library open on Sunday
that means there will be less
money to buy books, for instance
But the Sunday hours provide
a good chance for weekend
study before the finals; it could
be beneficial.
Mall Chauvinist?
The JC Chess Club has lost a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity and they have no one to blame but the
Student Government. SG officials forgot about a
letter from chess Grandmaster Samuel Reshevsky,
delivering it to the Chess Club too late to do any good.
We all make mistakes, so we won't harp on such
petty things as irresponsibility or just pure
foolishness. But this situation is just representative of
things all around us today. Pity the poor
Beachcomber. We receive the Palm Beach Times
each day - but a day late. Who needs stale news?
All of this derives from the "So-who-cares"
attitude that too many people are taking. Everyone
seems out for themselves and ignorance of your
neighbor seems to be the "in" thing. Until it affects
you.

I — 5 ? Percent
JC Commissions
J. Micheie Noiter —
Do you have' a gripe? Are you being discriminated against? Do
you want to be a doctor but are being discouraged because you are a
female? Do you want to study nursing but you are a male? The
newly formed Commission on the Status of Women of PBJC may be
able to help you.
There are two such commissions at JC. One is made up of faculty
with Trinette Robinson as chairwoman and Barbara Matthews as
the impetus behind the formation of the commission. She is
currently on sabbatical.
Dean Glynn has taken the time to form the second cominission he
hopes the two can be joined in their effort at a later date.
This commission is made up of Dr. Richard Yinger (a sociology
instructor), Maria Pico, Constance Holmes and Judy Gillette, all
three of whom are students.
The latter of the two commissions has met and established some
goals. They plan to study the hierarchy of staff positions at JC in
respect to the sex of the individual holding the job. They also want
to evaluate the pay scales relative to the positions and job titles.
Vocational counseling of students is an immediate concern of this
commission and is one of the top priorities.
Finally, the commission has set aside Friday, between the hours
of 12:00 and 1:00, to hear grievances of students in the cafeteria.
They hope to investigate each complaint and take corrective steps
where possible.
. Ms. Pico feels optimistic. "Whether or not most of us are willing
to admit it, sexism is a major obstacle for women in education today.
•As a feminist I feel optimistic that a Commission on the Status of
Women is finally forming at PBJC. We want to delve into the
problems we face as women on this campus and seek some real
solutions."
Ms. Gillette, upon my inquiry, stated that the essential reason
she is working on the commission is that she "enjoys her femininity
but not at the expense of her humanity.
"In today's world there are two kinds of people, women and
humans," she said. "As Simone de Beauvoir puts it, 'When
women act like hiiman beings they are accused of acting like men.'"
When questioned on why she was involved with the commission,
Ms. Holmes replied, "I consider the greatest tragedy of trying to
bring about change in anything is that people don't believe that
change is needed!"
"I wanted-to be a part of the commission because I believe it is
vitally necessary on this campus, as well as in the community, that
an awareness be brought to the injustices inflicted upon women.
"I ara also hoping that my work on thfe commission will help to
make me more sensitive to the injustices that exist, and, therefore,
better enable me to encourage more women to take a firmer stand
on their right to pursue any field of endeavor they choose and be
justly treated."
Yinger is excited about the establishment of the commission and
feels that there are many possibilities for change and more equal
treatment of women and men on an individual basis.
"Anytime you challenge the status quo, you are making a change
for more just, fair treatment which allows the full potential of an
individual to grow," he said.
He would like to see the commission re-evaluate some of the
school priorities with recommended changes and, in particular,
create a day care center at JC in the hopes of drawing more women
into academic fields.
. [EDITOK'S NOTE; According to a report of the United Nations
there-are no longer more women than men in the world. Though
there are now 1.998 billion men and 1.988 billion womea making up
the world's population, Ms. Notter has decided to continne to title
her column "51 Percent."]

Basic Studies Offers Englisin
The Basic Studies Depart-
ment is offering a special course
during the Winter Term for
foreign students and native
alike who need assistance with
their English.
"English as a Second
Language" Laboratory will be
offered as three Credit course
during the day and ' night
sessions, according to Mr.
William Wilson, instructor for
t^e course.
"Many students think they
are saving time by jumping
right into a Freshman Comm-
unication's Course" Wilson
explained. "But many of them
find it impossible to pass the
course."
As an alternative, Wilson
suggests that students with
communication problems should
sign up for either EH 113, or the
second level EH 223. A test on
English proficiency will deter-
mine how much assistance the
student needs.
The class has been taught
successfully for three years,
Wilson added. ' 'It is impossible
for these students to come here
and compete with native-born
Americans" Wilson concluded
"there's a whole new set of
problems."
•Last Exit
Seven Little Women
MarcBressler
My colleagues and myself,
after a period of great
discussion on the pros and cons
of the situation, have decided
that we will form a "Right To
Wife League."
The purpose of such an
organization, which I am quite
sure will ^ the topic of
conversation at cocktail parties
ad infinitum, is to establish the
rights of the individual adult
male to have as many wives as
he deems necessary. The idea
itself, modestly speaking, is not
only one of greatness, but is
totally fascinating.
We can break marriage down
into seven vital areas that
women, in their own littly way,
can fill very nicely; companion-
ship, sex, children, maid, nurse,
cook, and mother.
We, the charter members of
the league, believe that if, for
example, a man only desires one
wife to take care of these
important needs and wants,
then the fool should have her.
And, of course, he should have
any female he desires; the
female's choice in the matter is
simply irrelevant.
Now if a man cares for the
company of, say, seven different
wives, we are all for4t He could
have each wife be competent in
their own areas, and sometimes,
for the sake of variation, switch
them around at his discretion.
When he cares for sex, he need
not wopg' about the inconven-
ience of the wife who is raising
his children or the problem of a
pregnant spouse whose sole
responsibility is to bear
children.
When the man has to attend a
party, he can bring along "the
little woman" who is the best at
being perfect at his side. When
the party is over, they can
return to a spotless house,
cleaned by the maid-wife, and
enjoy a late evening snack
meticulously prepared by the
^.cook-wife.
We urge all supporters of this
idea to join our cause, without
reservations and without fear of
reprisal^, because of their belief
of man's unalienable right to
wife.
Who knows, perhaps the old
joke will change to ' 'That was no
ladies, that was my wives."

JOE REDON - "Men's Ub wiU Mow Women's Lib
whether the women want it or not.
ByLYNNKALBER
Feature Editor
For the first time in the
history of JC, the "Miss
Wishing Well" contest (spon-
sored by the Vets Club) will
have male contestants. In past
years the purpose of the contest
has been to choose a pretty face
and to raise money for the Early
Childhood Center on campus.
This year the purpose is still
to raise money for the Center,
but as for choosing a pretty face,
well. . .
Since the question "Is this
Men's Lib?" is raised by the
entries, the contestants ans-
wered that question (and others)
themselves.
On the remark "Why enter?"
- all remarked that if the' money
was going to such a good cause ,
"Why not?"
Joe Redon, sponsored by the
Chi Sig Club, commented "both
kinds of liberation are terrific,
but you can't have one without
the other. Men's Lib will follow
Women's Lib whether
women want it or not."
Glynne Hughes, sponsored by
an individual group, remarked
that he agrees on most aspects
of Women's Lib, but feels that
men should "wear the pants."
About Men's Lib - "If it feels
good, do it." Hughes also
stated "It's about time male
bodies were judged by women."
Tory Buckley, sponsored by
Philo, thinks that the stricter
aspects of Women's Lib ai-e
ridiculous, but believes in equal
rights for both sexes. He
approves of Men's Lib and
doesn't think there are any
classified roles for either sex.
Marc Bressler, sponsored by
the Beachcomber, says he is a
sentimentalist when it comes to
Women's Lib. "There are
certain traits and characteristic
points of both sexes which
should not be abandoned,"
stated Bressler.
the All of these daring dudes
hope to win the contest, and will
be required to pose for pictures
along with the female contest-
ants.
The name of the contest, as a
result of these entries, will have
to be changed. Some
suggestions by the contestants
have been the "Wishing Well"
contest and the "Mr. and Miss
Wishing Well" contest - with
two winners, one of either sex.
Despite the sudden interest in
male bodies on campus, the girl
watchers note that activity on
their end hasn't stopped. "We
hope the female contestants
won't back out because of
competition," commented Jack
DiSalvo, Vet's Cliib president.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The
students are asked to keep the
purpose of the contest - to raise
money for the Childhood Center
on campus - in mind when
voting.

Plan Chessmates Match
BySUEKYTE
StaffWriter
The Chess Club held its first meeting and discussed plans for a
tournament to be held with FAU. Mr. Washburn, the advisor to the
Chess Club, and the seventeen active members are opening this
tournament to the PBJC student body.
Four PBJC students will comprise the team who will play in the
FAU vs PBJC tournament. There will be two alternates added to
this team also. A tournament will be held among the PBJC students
who wish to compete against the FAU team. The end of the PBJC
competition will show the six top members of the club who will then
go on to meet the FAU team. The PBJC trial competition will be
held in the SAC lounge and sign-ups start as soon as possible,
There is no entry fee set for the PBJC tournament as yet. If the
club decides to offer trophies then a slight fee will be required.
The number of the entrants in the PBJC tournament will decide
the date of the PBJC vs. FAU Tournament. " The more the entnes
then the more games that must be played to decide the final team
members.
The tournament with FAU is just a small sampling of things to
come for the Chess Club. The team also plans to enter a state
college chess tournament. The date for this is unknown to Terry
Wilkinson, President of the Chess Club, but he stated that it would
be sometime during our winter term. ,
With the help of Mr. Washburn, the Chess Club is programming
the PBJC computers to play chess. The computer will be able to
defeat most competitors and will also modify its program. In
common laymen language it means that the computer will learn
from its mistakes and correct them.
Wilkinson stated that a rumor was circulating that you had to be
intellectual to play chess. He claims that it is not true and anyone
can learn to play chess. He and a number of other members from
the chess club are willing to teach any person who has an interest m
learning the games,

Fontosma Tonight
By FRANK SMITH
Entertainment Co-Editor
The Pacesetters, a vibrant
group of twenty JC performers,
will present their "Annual Fall
Fantazma Show" tonight at 8:00
p.m. The show is open to
students, free of charge, and
promises to be an excellent one.
The musical selection is
slated to include many types,
from Carl Strommans' "All
About the Blues" to pop
music's "Save the Country,"
"Never My Love", and
"Everyday People." Other
numbers planned include John
Denver's "Take Me Home,
Country Roads", and instru-
mental renditions of "Love
Theme" as popularized by
Barry White, and "Evil Ways".
A special treat will be offered,
a Chinese love song performed
by Kwok Fai Wong, "Endless
Love".
In this, their fourth year since
being formed by Pat Johnson,
the Pacesetters have been busy.
Earlier this year they attended
the National Convention of the
Music Educators, where they
listened to many leaders in all
fields of music including Stan
Kenton, composer/conductor
Carmen Dragon, and a host of
others,
The Pacesetters were
also guest performers at the
University of Florida in
Gainesville for the FMEA-
SMENC Career Conference, the
only group from Florida at the
conference. They also received,
during this time, a write-up in
"High Fidelity Magazine."
Denise O'Neill, a vocalist in
the group, said that the
Pacesetters were one of the
more unique groups at both of
the conventions. In the usual ■
group of school supported
choirs, orchestras, and bands,
they had to' be, being a
professional type music ensem-
ble.
One of the important factors
that go into making a good
musical company, such as this,
is the rapport between it's
members. Are the Pace-
setters close? . "Like a
family," says O'Neill.

Concert Flawless
By JOHN AUCHTERLONIE
Entertainment Co-Editor
The Eighth Annual Scholarship Concert, featuring the Concert
Orchestra, the Concert Choir, and the Concert Band was held at
3:30 p.m. November 17th in the JC auditorium.
To begin the show, the Concert Orchestra, under the direction of
James Gross, demonstrated fine control while performing the
"Lancaster Overture" by P. Whear and " SijJte'For Strings" by A.
Frackenpohl. The orchestra really got in tune when they performed
"Tales From the Vienna Woods" by Johann Strauss.
Performing second was the Concert Choir. Dressed in matching
blue and white attire and directed by Pat Johnson, the choir did an
exceptional job.
In one selection, "Waters Ripple and Flow," Oveta Jackson and
Kimm Gent were the featured soloists, the fbrmer. a fine, clear
soprano and the latter, a strong baritone,
"Wade in the Water" was one of the few recognizable songs the
choir performed. In the midst, of this selection,. Lorraine Home
pleased this listener with her strong effective tonality. "Ain't That
Good News" was a Ijglit' lively song with a lilting melody which
would please me to hear it again.
Completing the program was the Concert Band which was
directed by Sy Pryweller. The band maintained the high standards
of the evening. They performed the "March Collegiate",
"Chester", a piece by William Schuman and "Suite of Old
American Dances" an arrangement by Robert Russell Bennett.
The donations given for the concert were to be used to provide
scholarships to worthy students.
^Frankly Speaking
Man's Morbid Desire
Frank Smith'
Curious, how entertainment
is getting more morbid.
I noticed this when I was
younger and my brother took me
to car races, after the cars would
crash, how thrilled everyone
seemed to be at watching a near
catastrophe.
At other times I'venoticed my
friends excited curiosity as they
follow speeding ambulances,
possibly, to view a traffic
accident of astounding propor-
tions. (Usually, sad to say, it
turns out to be merely a car
crumpled around a telephone
pole)
The recent daredevil revelry
of Evel Knivai and his jet cycle
pointed out to me, not the
bravery of man, but man's
desire to see death.
Think about all the times
when the only interest you had
in circus high -wire acts, and
tight rope walkers was the
chance they may fall.
Someday, I'm sure, television
will have a show along the
parallel of "You Are There"
which will present live coverage
of potential scenes of death.
The really "great" programs
will be those fortunate enough
to get live coverage of actual
wars. These shows will have a
definite following which they
probably would never lose,
killing has been with man so
long, death must interest him.
Why do people watch football
games, to see good clean fun, or
good clean violence. How often
have you heard the phrases,
uttered in gleeful appreciation,
"He really slaughtered thatt
guy." and "We killed those
guys, didn't we?"
Death, it seems, is a question
mark to many and it appears
that people have decided that
although they may never know
the answer at least they can look
for examples.

Pre-AAarital Divorce
Monday, November 25, 1974 BEACHCOMBER -7
ByMARCBRESSLEB
Richard and Christine were
once very much in love. Now
they have decided to go their
separate ways, dividing their
belonging up amiably with
Christine talcing their two-year
old child, Todd.
They are going through the
process of "divorce". There is
one little difference, however,
that sets this separation apart
from countless others. Richard
and Christine were never
married.
Four years ago, the couple
decided to move in together,
married in every sense of the
word. Only the traditional
ceremony and license in some
county clerk's office were
missing. Boyfriend-girlfriend
for several years, they found
that the "tilldeath do us part"
concept didn't make it with
them. In part, they attributed it
to their rebellion against
authority; both sets of parents
disapproved of the set-up,
r Featured Futures
They experieiiced the up and
downs that ■ normal marriages
have. Their problems ranged
from finances to sex, from food
to salaries. But Richard and
Christine somehow weren't
compatible and tension contin-
ued to build until the point of
almost daily fighting over minor
disagreements.
They had a child in hopes of
brinang ■ them tiack together.
Instead, living together during
the pregnancy and first few
months of Todd's life becamf
hell. In the end, -both secretly
resented the child.
When they finally decided to
call it quits, it was easy: no
papers to file, no lawyers to
hire, no need to sue the other
spouse to prove them guilty of
something.
Richard and Christine went
their separate ways. Their four
year "experiment" was a
failure - or was it? They both
learned something from the
experience, but they are still un

When Eagle Flies' - Lacking
'When The Eagle Flies'
expresses the traditional, mel-
low, slowdown-rock of Traffic
with the laid back sounds that
all rock and roll fans will dig on
when the infamous hard rock
headache strikes again.
Parts of the album are good
but it also contains some long,
drawn out weak musical
phrases. ,
Most songs are based too
much around the same ideas
and consequently sound too
much alike. The only real
strong parts at all are in the
Jimmy Nieh
tunes "Dream Gerrad" and
"Graveyard People."
The rest of the selections are
quite banal, one-dimensional,
and lack excitement. There
aren't any real high points in
these songs, but rather remain,
pretty much, on the same level
through beginning to end.
It is not very interesting in
many places except in "Dream
Gerrerd," where there is"
actually a bit of depth and
certainly a good dose of feeling.
The synthesizer in "Graveyard
People" is used very tastefully

Coach Roy Bell intramural
director explained the situation,
"They found the feathers that
were on the course itself, but
missed the ones off the course.
The format required the people
to think out the clues, but too
many just followed the leader."
Two girls walked the course
and finished last, but one more
feather for either of them would
have won it.
The first three places received
turkeys, the second three hens,

two chickens apiece.

Title IX Discourages Bias
ByLORIHILLEBRAND
StaffWrlter
Perhaps the biggest inno-
vation to hit men's and women's
sports since the invention of the
whiistle is Title IX of the 1972
Education Act.
Title IX forbids discrimination
under any education program or
activity which is receiving
federal funds. This would make
it illegal for any school receiving
federal assistance to deny equal
opportunities in athletics to
women. And women are
making the most of the title in
colleges and universities all over
the U.S.
One aggressive sports pro-
gram in the country is at the
University of Pittsburgh.

All-American."
With Title IX, proposed
regulations are still being
revised. According to Gwen
Gregory, the main author of the
title, they will be looking at the
totality and the individual
aspects; ■ This means the
facilities, training, uniforms,
travel expenses and more.
The title cannot control what
sports the schools offer,
however, but can only make
sure there is no discrimination.
"Sports Illustrated," in
handling the situation, sees one
problem. With women
competing on men's ground,
they open themselves up to
being shouldered out of their
own programs. Men who are
not talented enough for the
men's teams will be moving into
the women's. This idea has led
to rules passed in Minnesota,
allowing women to try to men's
teams, but not men on the
women's.

marked that he knows no case in
history where equality has been
cheap, and this is to be no

Rizo Loses/
Season Ends
By TIMOTHY 1. BRAY
Sports Editor
With the Florida Atlantic
University scrimage and the
match against the Delray
Raquet Club last Sat. the Pacers
tennis team concluded its fall
practice schedule.
In Boca Raton last Wed.,
Coach Harris ' McGirt|s slam-
mers lost to FAU4-3.
Roberto Rizo lost to David
Highland 7-6, 4-6, 6-4. Norm
Russel defeated Kim Magolis
6-4, 6-2. Gary Ray, playing No.
3, won a tough match over John
Preston 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Ron Dicus
also defeated his FAU opponent
7-6, 6-2.
No doubles matches were
played due to the time of the
matches.
The only injury of the fall
among the players was when
Bachrach broke a bone in his
foot.
After a call from high school
team-mate and former Pacers
star John Van Auker, Poyastro,
a strapping 6' 6" forward, came
to Florida, "played well, and
Coach Wright signed me up."
So in August, 1973, Gus
Poyastro arrived in the friendly
confines of JC's basketball
house at 4888 Prince Drive, just
across from John Prince Park.
"It was like a ghetto in the
middle of a nice neighborhood.
We had seven guys living in a
three-bedroom house, and there
were bad' maintenance prob-
Uems-
"People talk about players'
bad grades. . .that house leads
to bad grades. It is virtually
impossible to study."
For whatever the reason,
inhabitants <of that: house and
others managed to slide the
Pacers to second place in the
state last season.
However, as most any Pacer
will tell you; that wasn't
enough. Now living in his own
apartment, Gus confides, "My
grades now are no real problem
■ this gives me more time to.
concentrate on basketball."
Following the three-pont loss
to Chipola in the state final last
season, Poyastro made a short
speech in the locker room. Said
Poyastro at the time, "We-
almost had it. Everyone tried as
hard as they could, and we have
nothing to be ashamed of.
"TOth a lot of freshmen coming
back, we're going to win the
.state and go to the nationals and
win there," he concluded last
winter.
Now with improved re-
bounding, depth at the guard
position, and an apartment- -
relaxed Gus Poyastro, the.
Pacers are armed and ready to
make an assault on the national
championship.
And then Poyastro would like
to go to the University of
Florida, or Stetson University . .
.anywhere but Montana. "That
happens to be the end of the
world."
Editors Notes Mary Mount
College could not generate
enough enthusiasm and will not
field a team. The Dec. 14
Pacers home game has now

game is the Palm Beach
Invitational Tournament, Jan.

By TOM BOWLING
Staff Writer ^
"It will take a little while until
the team really starts to click,"
commented JC forward Gus
Poyastro. But forty minutes of
basketball was all the Pacers
needed to chalk up win No. 1 of
the 74-75 season, Nov. 20 over a
stubborn Palm Beach Atlantic
club, 81-78.
With a mixture of under-
classmen and varsity starters,
George Perides' Sailfish threw
up a stout defense that battered
the Pacers through most of the
contest.
Former Twin Lakes High
School star, Donald Burns,
canned a lay-up with just over a
minute gone in the first half to
start the Pacers scoring.
The Sailfish jumped to a 15-7
lead, due mostly to the Pacers'
turnovers and sloppy play.
With 8 minutes to go in the
first half, Richard Nelson sank a
jumper which gave the Pacers
the lead which they never
relinquished.
With"Tiny"Mitchell's tip in,
the half time score showed the
Pacers with a 36-31 lead.
During the half time
intermission, the Karate classes
demonstrated the streneous
techniques known only to the
sport.
Sailfish forward Jerry Trout-
man collected on 5 out of 6 field
goals in the first half and scored
the first four times he had the
ball in the second half to pull
PBA back within three points.
Turnovers and unnecessary
fouls hurt both teams through-
out the game. JC lost the ball 25
times due to errors, compared to
Sailfish's 27.
Nelson, who grabbed 15
rebounds, powered in a key
basket in the closing seconds
which seemed to give the Pacers
momentum.
Poyastro sealed the Pacers'
victory when he sank a 15-foot
I — Sporisiife
jumper with 16 seconds left in
the game.
Jhe freely substitution JC
club placed five men in double
figures with Burns, Bill
Brandon., and Nelson leadinj

Coach Wright seemed sails-
fied with his team's perfor-
mance after the game, but not
pleased with the overall play,
"We played sloppy, but
that's to be expected in (he
opening game."
Miscues Deter
.Timothy L.Broy-
Between turnovers the Pacers showed signs of a championship
ball club last Wednesday night when they trimmed the Sailfish,
81-78.
Bob Wright, Pacers' coach, felt we couldn't lose, and the dub
didn't. Sometimes he has nerves of steel, v
George Perides, the Palm Beach Atlantic coach, looked at tk
game as a scrimmage because he couldn't afford to play a "real"
ball game with a junior college.
He played his younger ball players, though freshman Jerty
Troutman, who scored 26, is his standout performer.
Perides said, "We both did the same things wrong."
This was evident by the number of turnovers. The Facets
finished with 25 and the Sailfish 27.
In analyzing the stats, the Pacers used about W/i of their total
offense and scored .97 of a point each time they came down the
floor;
JC collected on half of their field goals, 34 of 68. The Sailfish hit
30 of 62 for 48.4%
Whenever the club threw good passes and had assists the offense
was clicking. Other times as Dick Rousche pointed out after the
contest, "Our timing. was off."
"Brandon's a ball player," commented Coach Perides of the 6'3"
guard from Twinsburg, Ohio. Also drawing praise was Gus
Poyastro, a 6'6" forward from Akron, Ohio.
Doctor Howard Reynolds, JC athletic director, said of the Sailfisl
attitude towards the game, "Anytime you lose, it's a practici
game."
Women Strive For Equality

of funds, facilities, and
personnel in order to achiedve
equality,
Ray Graves, athletic director
and former head football coach
at University of Florida doesn't
think Additional funds could be
raised. He has another
alternative; major cutbacks in
men's scholarships, which are
now a big expense for most
schools.
Wisconsin Athletic Director
Elroy Hirsch is willing, "It
doesn't bother me that all that
money is being taken from the
men. If everybody does it, then
it wouldn't hurt anyone."
JC cross-country runner
Robin Plitt believes that sports
are forms of leisure and women
have as much right to indulge in
them as men. "If a woman
qualifies for a man's team she
should he encouraged to
participate."
JC bowler Lynn Kalber says,
"All sports should be co-ed.
Anyone should be able to play in
any sport they want to."
Dan DeStout, JC baseball
player, has another view, "Girls
should play a lot of sports, but
they shouldn't mfai with guys.
Guys don't want to hit girls, mi
it takes their minds off the
game."

New Hours
For Study
Through the efforts of
Constance Holmes and Dolor
Ginchereau the library is open
for the final four Sundays of the
fall term.
Many of the night students
complained that they didn't
have access to the library as it
closed at 8:30 p.m. Ms. Holmes
and Ginchereau met with Dr.
Manor and Dean Tate to rectify
the situation.
Through a compromise the
library was opened an extra half
an hour on the week nights and
on the final four Sundays of the
term from 1:00 p^m. until 5:00
p.m. The library will also be
opened the first three days of
the week of finals, December
16, 17 and 18. This has never
geen cone before.
Unofficially ten students used
the library the first Sunday it
was opened. The second
Sunday between 28-32 students
used the facilities.

Veterans Administration off-

would probably be in the hands
of the veterans now in school in
about 15 days. The first regular
check with the increase willgo

The bill increases monthly
payments for full time institut-
ional training from $220 to $270
for a single veteran, from $261
to $321 for a veteran with one
dependent and from $298 to
$336 with two dependents. The
rate for each dependent over
two is raised from $18 to $22.
The Bijl allows Reservists and
National Guardsman to get
credit for education benefits for
their six months initial active
duty for training if they later
serve on active duty for 12
months or more.
The benefits increase the
entitlement to 45 months from
the present 36 months, and sets
up a special loan program that
will enable veterans to borrow
money from the Treasury if they
are unable to obtain it from
other federal programs.

inflationary, claiming it would

Open-Door?
Just when it seems like nothing is free anymore. . .SG decides to
sponsor a second coffee house. With free coffee and entertainment
offered, it was a good idea. But, like good ideas have a way of
doing, it fizzled.
If you heard about that coffee house, scheduled for Dec. 2, and IF
you decided to go listen to the music and see the new game room,
you were disappointed. There was no coffee house after all.
Without notice to students, it was cancelled.
Why was it cancelled? Because some people thought the coffee
house would conflict with the performance of the Danish Gym
Team. The Danish Gym Team, another good idea that fizzled (due
in no way to SG), was scheduled to appear at 12:10 Dec. 2. Even if
the gym team had performed, which it didn't, there would have still
been an hour beforehand for the coffee house.
SG has a so-called "open door" policy. The fact that many JC
students couldn't care less if its door is opened or closed hampers
SG. But, in this case, SG is just adding coal to the apathetic fire
when something is scheduled and .then cancelled without notice.
The cancellation of the coffee house is not a big issue in itself and
will probably have no drastic affect on anyone. But the point is that
the students should have known. They should know about the game
room. Though its bad points seem to be harped upon, students
should know about SG's positive attempts.
Students have the right to know even when an attempt, like the
coffee house, fails. The beachcomber recognizes this right to know
and the newspaper is the place students look to read about SG
business. Yet, when a Beachcomber reporter attempted to question
an SG leader about the coffee house, he was, though not in so many
words, told to get lost.
Why doesn't the sun shine at JC? Without more of the promised
government "in the sunshine" from SG, we're going to be asking
that question.
But, everybody's got a right to try, try again and SG will.
Another coffee house is planned for early January. With a little
luck, the more information to students, this one will work.
Sugar Snatching
That woman with the big handbag may look like a harmless little
old lady. But she may be one of the many sugar thieves invading the
nation's restaurants.
Since sugar prices went sky high, restaurant managers have been
noticing the rapid disappearance of sugar packets. Some peopleeven
pour sugar out of bowls and onto napkins to steal it.
Some of the sugar-snatching tactics used by restaurant customers
are clever, some could be called surprising (though not much is
surprising these days).
Be reminded that m^ny restaurant managers pay high wholesale
prices for sugar; prices higher than those the consumer pays in a
grocery store. Managers are asking that everyone have a little
courtesy and more conscience about this. But, perhaps courtesy is
an even more valuable commodity than the sugar.

The coffee house that was
planned for last Monday in the
JC cafe was cancelled because
of the Danish Gymnastic Team
which was to perform during the
coffee house hours.
"I personally cancelled it,"
said SG Parliamentarian Tony
Banks. He said another coffee

January.
SG President Tory S. Buckley
said he knew nothing about the
coffee house. "I don't know

Reverberations
AAontessori Method Praised
Did you see the little children
on the campus today, over at the
Center for Early Learning?
Under their directress, Ms.
Kathy Bowser, these young
children have "freedom"' to
develop their emotional, intel-
lectual and spiritual capacities
to the fullest.
This "freedom" I am
speaking of is the basic premise
of the Montessori Method. That
"freedom" to develop is
achieved through the develop-
ment of order and self-disci-
pline.
To a child, our world with all
its sights and sounds, first
appears to be chaotic. By
learning through his senses, a
child masters himself and his
environment.
In a Montessori classroom
you will find a prepared
environment with certain order
which enables a child to develop
at his own capacity in a
non-competitive atmosphere.
Self-motivation of the child is
the only impulse that moves the
child toward learning. The
teachers prepare the environ-
ment, direct the activity, act as a
leader and offer stimulation and
guidance. But it is the child who
learns through the motivation of
the work itself.
The experience of frequent
success in a Montessori
environment helps the child'
acquire a positive self-image,
much needed for success in life.
The Center for Early Learning
has an observation room where
you can see the children leatti,
with the guidance of the student
interns and teachers.

Moturity Questioned
Editor:
In order to be effective,, both the'SG and the Beachcomber
must maintain an air of sophistication and maturity so that the
students, faculty and administration can see that they are
responsible, viable forces on campus.
But, with their entrance in the Miss Wishing Well contest,
SG's president, the 'Comber's editor-in-chief and the
'Comber's managing editor (who also acts as an SG senator),
have created a credibility gap which may affect their
interactions with the other forces on campus.
This leads this student to ask: "Can SG and the
Beachcomber be taken seriously?"

SG Needs Judge
By ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Student Government's Executive Board is finding it difficult to establish a Judicial Board this year.
According to SG's Constitution, it is the Executive Board's duty to establish the Judicial Board, with
SG's President making the appointments.
President Tory Buckley has been talking to students and asking Social Science faculty members to
tell their students about the Judicial Board. He also plans to put a notice in the daily bulletin. There
has been no student response.
The Judicial Department is one of the three branches of Student government, and according to SG
Secretary Constance Holmes, Student Government cannot-cairy out the SG Constitution without it.
The Judicial Board must be composed of seven justices; a Chief Justice and six Associate Justices.
Any student who is not a member of either the Executive or Legislative Departments may become a
justice.
According to the Constitution, the Judicial Board's duties and powers are: "1) To review and
interpret the Constitution, 2) To decide if and when one department is interfering with, or infringing
upon the duties and powers of another, 3) to try all cases of impeachment against an elected officer of
the Student Body."
Evaluation Asked
The SG Senate Thursday
passed two of Senator Dave
Upshaw's resolutions that are to
better the student body.
The items included instructor
evaluation and less expensive
textbooks.
"The teacher in the Social
Science department is the worst
teacher I have ever had from
kindergarten up to college,"
said Upshaw.
He said the instructor knows
who he is and will remains at JC
until he resigns. Upshaw
doesn't like the present
evaluation system.
"The present evaluation
system is not categorically
enforced," Upshaw demanded.
The resolution asked that a
petition be sent to Dr. Manor,
the Board of Trustees, and the
Faculty Senate to institute a
"well defined" instructor eval-
uation system.
"If a teacher does not meet
the requirements, he should be
fired," says Upshaw.
Senator Upshaw's other
resolution asked for the
purchase of less expensive
textbooks. He argued that
"gold lettered" and elaborated
bookcovers are not necessary.
He offered paperback books
instead of hardbacks.
During the meeting a motion
was carried to have the SG Vice
Presdient Dolor Ginchereau go
EXEC Board Meets
'. 'ill:: ■■. -'^ -...irlQ.-a'lo ': ■. . ■,■..■.■
Student Government's Executive Board discussed a variety of
topics at their December 3 meeting.
SG President Tory Buckley gave a progress report on the
establishment of a Judicial Board. It is the President's
responsibility to appoint seven student members to the Judicial
Board. Buckley has been talking to students but has gotten no
response.
In other business, the Executive Board:
Approved the proposed $2,700 Winter movie schedule.
Passed a motion to underwrite tickets for the December 14 Johnny
Winter concert. Students may purchase tickets half-price at the
bookstore.
Transferred S75 from SG Account 645 into the Radio Club Account
645 for the purchase of an antenna.
Approved a motion to purchase supplies costing $31.65.
Passed a motion to purchase two 50' speaker wires, at $14.20 each,

• ask that a $50 honorarium be
given to the Senate Clerk Karen
Ovlasuk and certain Senators.
A bill of appropriations was
passed one month ago that gives
Senators the honorarium priv-
elege. No Senator has received
money at this time.
Ginchereau said Miss Ovla-
suk deserves the money. "I've
come in on weekends and s&en
Karen working on Senate
business," he said.
Senators want to get their
money before the termends. SG
Treasurer David Lang said
"First a committee will have to
be set up to determine which
Senators deserve honorariums,
then the Executive Branch will
issue checks."
Lang said checks can be sent
out within a week. The money
will be taken from the SG "other
services account" which now
holds $6,300.
The Senate also passed road
sign resolutions. Senators Jim
Scott and Glynne Hughes
introduced a resolution that will
tell students where to go in case
of an emergency.
"The students don't know
where to go in case of an
emergency," said Scott.

By WINNIE KNIGHTON
Evening Reporter
Have you been wondering,
when you see so many students
paclcing paraphenalia ■ in the
classrooms, whether they are
gomg to a garage sale, auction
or have just "flipped?"
It's none of the above - just
demonstration time in the
Speech 101 classes.
One gets the impression that
assignments are on WIN [WIilp
Inflation Now) President Ford's
economic program which is now
going Into Its eighth weelc.
However, this is not true.
Most students have taken it
upon themselves to display
projects geared at conserving
high cost commodities.
A good example is the
sugarless cake that was mixed
"by Dorothy Sheely, an evening
student. Her husband, Carl, is
enrolled in the same class, is not
only her official taster but also
transports her equipment for
her. She brought no ".precious
sweetner" only pudding mix
and orange juice are used in her
Harvey Wallbanger delicacy.
Simply mix together one
package each of yellow calce
mix, and vanilla pudding,
one>half cnp of cooiting oil, four
eggs, 1/4 cup each of vodica and
Galliano liqueur and 3/4 sup of
orange juice. After beatfaig for
fomr minutes, pour the batter
into a well greased and floured
pan and balce at 350 degrees for
45-50 minuts.
Dorothy assures the "tee-
totalers" that they could eat this
pastry with a clear conscience
because the alcoholic spirits
evaporate during cooking and
only the flavor remains.
Esther Warren, another WIN
conscious student, is growing a
bean sprout garden to cut down
on cost and calories.
This "show and tell" feature
on the speech course also
revealed the skills of putting up
a tent, watchmaking, decou-
page, woodcraft, embroidery,
graphics, taxidermy, purse-
making, archery and foot
massage.
Students who have combined
this phase of learning with
practicality have come up with
interesting concoctions to offset
commercial gimmicks, proving
that they will do whatever is
necessary to "Whip Inflation
Now".
Every year, campus social
clubs hold their annual "rush
parties" and pledging sessions,
and many of you have probably
wondered what really goes on
during "Hell Week". .
The following is an actual
account of the week's activities,
as seen through a pledge's eyes.
Scott Guske
Chi Sig Pledge
, Thanksgiving week was "the
most unusual week of my life. It
was HELL WEEK.
On Monday morning my
alarm clock rang at 5:00 a.m.
Reluctantly, I rose to my
dreadful fate. I then dressed up
in my pledging suit, which
consisted of a shredded white
tuxedo, a torn pleated shirt,,
ripped pants, painted white
shoes, an ear of com, one raw
egg, and a one pound mullet
around my neck.
From there I met my two
other pledge brothers at the JC
football field at 6:00 a.m. While
we were there, a few of the
fraternity brothers made us do
various exercises, wuch as
push-ups, sit-ups, toe touches,
pushing our eggs with our
ndese, soramersaulting the
length of the football field, and
running.
From there we had to enter
the cafeteria with pur fish
around our necks, and oureggs
smashed in our hair, and ask
every girl we saw where
"Freddie the Fly" was. That
was just Monday.
Tuesday at 6:00 a.m. when 1
arrived at school, my pledge
brothers weren't there. To my
dismay, I found them sleeping.
While they were dressing, a
plan had to be devised io
explain whey we were not at
school by 6:00. We walked into
the Lake Worth Police Depart-
ment with our suits on, and our
dead fish around our necks. We
then explained our predicament
and persuaded the sergeant (o
call the commander of the
Fraternity and ask him to pick
us up at the station.
We told him that we were
stopped for speeding and didn't
have a driver's license, so the
officer took us to the station. It
worked, and the day proceeded
in the same fashion as Monday
Pledging meant so much to us
that we gave up our time, our
grades, our money, and out
home lives. On top of that, we
went through many trying
ordeals, always trying not to
displease about twenty-five
brothers. Even so, the glimpse
of brothehood which we, the
pledges, witnessed and the
great amount of brotherhood
that we expressed towards each
other was enough for us to say
that it was worth.it.

Comber Questions Study Habits
As the tena nears its end, many find themselves bidalghig hi
study. While avoiding the unpleasantly seems the easiest
method, some, like this pensive student at left, prefer to take a
serious look at the situation.
By DEBBIE THOMPSON
Featvre Editor
It's that time .of year again,
and like h or not, itiany of our
spare moments in the days to
come will be occupied by that
time-consuming, unpopular
pastime - studying.
As a public service to the
campus, the Beachcomber has
conducted a poll to disclose
where, when, and how people
prepare themselves for that
ail-too-familiar sport, in hopes
that our readers could put to
good use some of the useful
hints we've aquired.
Of the 50 students quest-
ioned, five stated that they
studied "just like everyone else:
"Read your notes, review the
assignments, and PRAY!'
"Their favorite places to
indulge include the library, a
quiet room or the cafeteria. (1?)
An overwhelming majority,
(382) reluctantly admitted that
they do study, but only after an
honest attempt at procrastinat-
ion.
Some of their methods are:
1. Turn on the television-^
hopefully you'll fall asleep.
2. Study with a friend-you
never kiiow what you'll learn.
3. Gouge yourself on
midnight snacks-maybe you'll
acquire indigestion, thus having
a legitimate excuse for cuttmg
the class.
Other suggestions included
"turning your radio on, " "go sit
on the John and make yourself
comfortable," "buying an
'EXAM Cram' at the book-
store" and "drink a lot of
coffee."
"Not too much, though", this
one pro relayed, "once 1 drank
so much of the stuff my hands
were shaking all the next day."
The remaining two-percent
said they refused to study;
under any conditions. Obviou-
sly, these foolish scholars will
be humming "I'll See You in
September" all the way to the
Registrar's office.
We hope the alwve sugges-
tions prove useful, but whatever
tactics your method consists of,
Good Luck!

Nostalgia Craze Offers Release
ByLYNNKALBER
It was the time of bobby sox, saddle shoes, greasers,
leather jackets, drive-in restaurants and jitterbugging.
it was a time of awareness for the U.S. ■ in government,
and in individuals. It was - the nifty fifties.
Now, it is the time of bobby sox, "Rock Around the
Clock", saddle shoes, and an occasional greaser. It is
once again a time of awareness for the U.S. - in
government and in individuals. It is nostalgia.
Why nostalgia? People want to live back in the
"good 'ol days". Back in the fifties they sure didn't
think it was the "good 'ol days"! What magical
atmosphere surrounds the world of yesterday?
Many psychologists explain that this is an attempt to
be fi-ee of the present world and its stress. This is also
the way movie-makers in Hollywood explain the trend.
Since "The Last Picture Show" in 1971, with a
flashback of life in the fifties, movie studios have been
making millions of "memory movies".
"Forget about the generation gap. Try nostalgia! If
yon have a teenager pinned down in the past like a
butterfly under glass, you've got the upper hand,"
So the youth magazbie SEVENTEEN quotes
Hollywood producers. For them the idealized past has
become a source of instant success.
To prove their pohit, last year the movie "American
Graffiti" broke box office records. Immediately,
Wolfman Jack's and sock hops began appearing all
over the country. Ninety percent of all high schools and
most colleges sponsored sock hops or 50's dances. The
producers had struck it rich.
In the past year more classic cars have b een seen on
the road than ever before. The clothes trend is going
back to pedal pushers and granny gowns. Even mens
hair has gone back to the long, natural styles of
yesteryear.
And now inflation is bringuig us back to the 30's
depressioiv/ Were does nostalgia end?
EDITOR'S NOTE JC's Phi Ro Phi club is now

Student Figiits Fires In Spare Time
By BECKY MORSiE
Staff Writer
Many of us are not fortunate
enough to have ourchildhood
dreams come true but for Jim
Scott his vision of riding a bright
red fire engine has become a,
reality.
Jim Scott, sophomore student
seantor is a volunteer fireman
for Greenacres City.
For Jim his dream began as a
young child who admiringly
looked upon the big red fire
engines and dreamed someday
of riding on one. Well, about 16
months ago the dream began to
be within reach when his sister
and brother-in-law urged him to

Jim's active life.
It's amazing. Just as in all
places of work there are
agreements and disagreements
but when that alarm sounds
we're all working together to
put our a fire and save the lives
of the people involved. It's just
wanting to help others."

Danish Roll In Late
By JOHN AUCHTERIONIE
Entertainment Co-Editor
Contrary to popular belief, the Danish Gym Team
scheduled for a 12:10 performance on Dec. 2 in the JC
gymnasium did show for a performance, only later that
afternoon.
As the minutes grew longer last Monday for the hundreds
of students waiting In the gym it soon became apparent, by
the empty gymnasium floor, there would be no performance.
Students dispersed after a timely wait and either relaxed from
the cold in the cafeteria or went to class.
Later that afternoon the Danish Gym Team's caravan rolled
up to the gym expecting to give a performance. The manager
had unfortunately misintepreted the contract's time. The
team had been on the road performing for the last 30 days and
most of these performances were at night. The manager said
he assumed this performance would be like the rest, at night.
Activities Chairman Miss L. Royce said it was simply a
misunderstanding of performance time. The manager of the
team was very appologetic, though, and said he hopes they
will be invited back.
Southern Comfort is slated to play for the "SO's Dance" on December 13, from 8:30 to 12:30,

Anything Stolen Is Wrong
— — By Frank Snnith —
With sounds cascading echo-
style in a waterfall of musical
action, the JC Jazz Ensemble
played to an attentive audience
of over 300, Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Opening with "Norwegian
Staff Head
Recognized
Mr. Watson B. Duncan III,
head of the JC English
department, achieved national
and widespread notoriety for his
part in a television show
recently. Duncan said the show,
presented on November 25 was
a Burt Reynolds special titled
"Let Me Go Home Again" and
was produced through Merv
Griffin Productions.
The show presented a
different side of Burt Reynolds;
not hos "glamour king" or the
"superstar" side, but rather the
human one.
Duncan was featured in an
interview with Merv Griffin, and
was given credit for his
discovery of "Burt", as he
fondly calls him.
"I was director of the plays at
that time, in 1956, and we were
doing a play called 'Outward
Bound'", explained Duncan. "I
saw Burt in my literature
class," and thought that he
would be perfect for the leadms
role."
Duncan then related how he
told Reynolds he wanted to stay
after class and do a "reading"
for him. Reynolds read the part
and was given the leading role,
that of a young alcoholic.
"Burt, you're going to be an
actor." Duncan had said back
then. It is a phrase remembered
by both of them now.
In the film also was footage
from a tribute to Duncans 25
years of teaching at JC, which
was attended by Reyholds along
with Mone Markham.
"Burt is a marvelous person,
a wonderful human being . . .a
very sensitive human being."
says Mr. Duncan.
He is also, obviously, a man'
appreciative of his first drama
coach, the man who started it
all, Watson B. Duncan III.
Wood" and power blasts of
steel and brass, the band played
right-on, but. . . •.■■■.<•.;■:■
The remainder of scheduled
performers were the Guitar
Ensemble! and other solo
guitarists! The large sound of
the Jazz Ensemble diminished
the solo artists performances.
It is my experience that
intricate guitar playing requires
an attentive ear to be
appreciated, while band music
does not. After the audience sat
back and allowed the bands
music to wash oyer them, ..they;
were not going to put forth the
r-Record Review —
effort required of listening to a
single suitar's inter-weaving
tones; it'Was too hard. Too bad,
because there was some
exceptional guitar playing
featured in the show.
The Jazz Ensemble stole the
show. In a way, it was sad.
How bravely the quiet-voiced
soloists strained, to combat the
silence which challenged their
virtuosity.
It was as if one personality,
loud and garrulous , held the
audience from the quiet and
poetic; f figure who silently
slipped away.
Wakeman Awakens
Jimmy Niel-
"Journey to The Centre Of The Earth" was recorded live in
concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Friday, Jaiiuary 18,
1974 with The London Symphony Orchestra and The English
Chamber Choir conducted by David Measham. The production was
narrated by David Hemmings.
Rick Wakemans' band, Journey, consist of Gary
Pickford.-Hopkins and Ashley Holt doing vocals and occasional
percussion, Mike Egan on giiitar, Roger Newell on bass, Barney
James on Drums, and silver-caped composer Wakeman on his
mound of keyboards.
"Journey To The Centre Of The Earth", put together in four
movements, is the story of three men who travel from Hamburg to
Iceland where they descend into the crater of an extinct volcano and
travel through a succession of caverns, caves, forests, and an ocean
to the center of the Earth.
During the course of their venture the explorers become trapped
in rock galleries, encounter a five-day storm, cautiously make their
way through a giant mushroom forest, and witness a tenifying
■battle between two sea monsters. Eventually they are expelled
back on the surface of the Earth by way of a volcano in the Far East.
Jules Verne's Science Fition fantasy 'Journey To The Centre Of
The Earth' provided the inspiration for Wakeman 's work.
As a whole, it is a strong and, well put together piece of music.
The way in which the musical themes are presented and later
re-appear in varying forms throughout the piece is very interesting.
Wakeman's synthesizer licks tend to be too repetitious and stick
to simpler major and minor keys, biit his mdividual style and magic
touch make it sound real fine. Rick Wakeman could be called,
"keyboard master of the major scale."
The narration of the journey is really_waht makes the album even
more unique. As the music^sets the moods, David Hemmings reads
each part of the story.
Of the movements, side two's 'the Battle' is the best and most
exciting selection. The narrator describes the frightening
appearance of two sea monsters and tells of their upcoming fight,
then the music takes off and leaves it to your imagination.
While listening you tend to forget that it is a live performance.
The original live tape was masterfully mixed with a 16-track mixer
by Wakeman himself.
Vocal Fireworks Fly
Where were you when the
Pacesetters performed? On
November 25 the Pacesetters,
JC's professional-type: perform-
ing troupe presented a free show
in the auditorium. The concert
was poorly attended by JC
students but the older populous
of our area showed the wisdom
of age, filling the 500 seats
available with contented liste-
ners.
The show was divided into
two parts and lasted over an
hour and a half. It was divided
also, into different sized
performing groups with solos,
duets, and full company
performances.
A couple of number's the
entire company performed
were, "Everyday People," and
"Save The Country."
Pacesetter Lewis Cutlip
performed a solo number,
"Measure the Valleys". Mr.
Cutlip has a fine voice and
delivered the song very well.
With all those good songs, it's
a shame more students weren't
there.
r—Featured Futures •
Pat Johnson presented a show
which contained something you
rarely hear anymore; songs with
lyrics, that have feeling, and
which move the listener.
This listener was surprised,
on hearing Paul William's
"Isn't That What Friends are
For," and pleased to hear
"Hurry Sundown", a wonder-
fully written song. Pat Johnson
sang beautifully in her rendition
of "Hurry Sundown," and was
joined by Debi Gregory for some
fine harmonizing in the Paul
Williams' tune. It pleased
everyone there.
Pacesetter Tony Marchese
gets an "a" for his expressive
and exuberant performance in
leading the song "Mississippi
Line." This was a group song
that closed the first half of the
program. The choreography of
that song and the closing song
"The Rock Island Line"
presented the viewers with a
visual and vocal fireworks
display.

her solo performance. Miss

To complete the program
there was a guitar duet, (Becky
Ruper and Sharon Kriik), a
Chinese love song, pleasingly
performed by Kowk Fai Wong
and another solo by Lewis
Cutlip. called "I Talk To the
Trees."
During the whole show the
singers were supplied with a
musical back-up by Pacesetters'
Debbie Jolly on piano, Howard
Cerce on bass guitar, Fermen
Fresno on electric lead guitar,
Sharon Kruk on drums, and
Tom Gushing who doubled on
piano, conga and bass. The
band also provided an instrum.-
mental interlude, performing
"Evil Ways", and "Love
Theme."
The remaining Pacesetters
who did not perform individual
solos but, performed well to
make up the large part of the
show, included Perry Stokes,
Richard Lane, Betsy Pryor,
Peggy Porter, Ed Esposito,
Oveta Jackson, Denny Schae-
ber, and Ronny Anderson.
The concert was the best, I
guess, anyone will ever see for
free. With the professional
level of performance presented
it was surprising that so few
students attended. There shall
be more shows by the
Pacesetters and this listener will
be there, listening. Where will
you be?

JC Students Glim pse Greatness
Outstanding, interesting, and
educational, best describes the
Music departments seminar
which featured classical guitar-
ist Charles Stein on Wednesday,
November 4.
Total silence reigned as Mr.
Stein began playing his first
number. Prelude No. 1 by
Villa-lobos.
Stein at age 22 is a graduate
of the Royal Conservatory of
London and has been playing the
guitar since he was eight years
old.
Continuing in the classical
style Stein captivated the
audience with Granados' Dance
No. 5.
His next number was the "E
Major-Suite by Bach. This was
followed by an interchange of
ideas about classical technique.
Stein spoke of his training in
posture and relaxation to relieve
tension while playing.
The audience was again
absorbed by the display of talent
by Stein as he performed
"Leyenda" by Issac Albehi.
Variations on Mozart's Magic
Flute by Fernando Sor was next
on the program. After the
applause died down Stein began
his final number by F,
Moreno-Torroba, the first
movement of Sonatina.
The audience overcome by
the outstanding performance
gave a deserving sta:nding
ovatioii to Stine, at the end of
the program
Stein while on tour here' will
be performing at Century

Leadership Lax
While watching the Pacers in action, the evidence shows this is
not the same club which was runner-up in the state tournament one
season ago.
Perhaps the calibre of 22 superstars like Keith Highsmith is
missing, but one is for certain, the Pacers need leadership.
JC Coach Robert Wright commented after the game Wednesday
Dec. 4 his freshman guards played "incredibly" but "it takes a
while to get things squared away."
The club is looking towardthe point guard, one of two freshman,
Mike Gibbs or Ron Cunningham, to set the offense.
On Wed. Dec. 4, the Pacers- were defeated in the last nine
seconds by Broward North 86-85 in an emotional contest. Yet, an
opportunity to score and win was present.
Each player and Coach Wright know now that a time out would
have enabled the ball to be inbounded at the time line.
Wright said, "I'd tell them to give it to Burns and let him shoot."
But, the time ran out on the clock.
Many of the players feel that William Hall, who has been out of
actionbecause of eligibility will now help the club. Donald Burns
commented, "He'll help us a whole lot."
Receiving two technical fouls in one ball game is not something
new to the Pacers. Captain Bill Brandon said, "Last year we had
beaucouptechnicalsicalled on us."
To have a winning combination, one or several of the
experienced players must take the initiative. The responsibility rest
not only on Captain Brandon but the rest of the club as well.
Wright echoed his thoughts. As of now, "We don't have
anybody."
The talent is present. The leadership must come forward.

North handed JC its third defeat
of the season Wed. Dec. 4, at
Miami-Dade South's Activities
Center.
Ike Miras canned a lay-up to
give the trotters an 86-85
victory and third place in the
annual Division IV Tip-off
Tournament before a sparse
crowd.
The Pacers' were up by nine
points mid-way through the
second half. A sldrmish.
erupted at the Trotter free
throw line with 7:37 to go and
the damage was felt by North as
the Pacers caught fire hitting
three straight field goals.
However, with victory seem-
ingly in their grasp. North
applied pressure to the Pacers
guards and whittled away at the
lead.
Outscored, 8-3 in the final

game," said Wright - "and
Poyastro got the results of it (the

After 4 hours of debate the SG
Senate decided to go along with
the Executive Board Evaluation
Committee's decision awarding
1 2 of 24 Senators honorariums.
Debate centered around who
should get the $50 honorarium.
Senators passed a Bill of
Appropriations late in October.
Article II of the bill asked that
an evaluation committee be set
up by the Executive Board to
determine which Senators
deserve the honorarium.
;/fr
1
,1
<{
The committee, which consis-
ted of Executive Board
members and Cabinet mem-
bers, had only the power to deny
an honorarium to a senator by a
two-thirds vote. Under this
system, 11 senators' honorar-
iums were voted down.
The Senate did not accept the
committee's report at that time,
and David Upshaw moved that
changes be made in the bill so
that all wenators would receive
the honorarium . Referring to
the bill (74-001), Senator
Upshaw said, "It was written in
all good faith and I think that all
Senators should get honorar-
iums."
Debate continued, somewhat
heatedly, as for what course to
take. The majority of the
senators indicated that honorar-
iums should be awarded, but
the proper way" to award them
was not agreed upon.
SG President Tory Buckley '
said that before any decision
was made on his part
concerning approval or vetoingi
the measure, he wanted to know
if his decision ' 'would bias any
person in here (the senate)
concerning the Executive Board
honorariums."
Senators continued debate on
the measmre. Only senators
Glynne Hughes and Bart
Cunningham offered negative
debate, both concurring that no
honorariums should be given.
Senator James Boger warned
the Senate, "If I don't get one,
y u
)-j
I'm not gonna be here next'
term."
As 4:30 p.m. arrived, too
many senators had left for a
quorum to be present, and the
meeting had to be ended by
Vice- President Ginchereau.
The Senate will not reconvene
until January 9, 1975.

VP Wants Change
By BRIAN E. CBOWIEY
News Editor
Editor's NOTE: Dolor Ginchereau is an energetic
and deeply concerned student. He truly cares
about the future of Student Government and
Palm Beach Junior College. In an effort to help
keep the students informed Ginchereau
consented to an informal interview. As SG
vice-president and Senate President, he has
proven to be a "natural resource" of talent and
ability.
BEACHCOMBER: What has Student
Government accomplished this year?
Ginchereau: "When talking about SG I'd like to
break it up into the Senate and the Executive
Board, and I'd like to take you way back to
August when the EB was invited to the faculty
assembly on August 12.
In that meeting, I outlined in a four minute
speech, what I felt are the major goals of SG.
These goals were to establish a rapport between
SG and the Administration and I really think that,
at least in this term, we've begun making great
strides toward that because anything we've gone
to them (administration) about we've been able
to talk freely and the administration has been
willing to talk to us. That is the first thing ^that
SG has accomplished.
Secondly we, the EB on behalf of Constance
Holmes and myself, with the cooperation of the
administration did reach a compromise, a plan
we felt was workable to have the library open the
last four Sundays of the Fall Term.
Our third major accomplishment is in the area
of the cabinet, last year I cannot recall SG having
as many as three or four in (cabinet members) at
one time as we do.
Also we're finally getting our judicial board
into operation and hopefully by the time the next
term starts we'll be ready to go with that.
So those are, I think, the major
accomplishments and now that we have gotten
the Questionaire Survey results we'll be setting
up the used book sale over in SAC 11 beginning
today. Ifthis works as I hope it will, that wOl be
another major accomplishment of SG.
Now when you speak of the senate, they have
not really, aimed in the direction I thought I would
like to have seen them aim this year and I'm
hoping that in the Winter Term things will begin
to develop. I think the last few resolutions
introduced could be substance for some
groundwork for things for the student body in the
future.
Overall SG has begun to do something. On the
surface it may not seem so, but I think if you
really examine what our goals were and what
we've tried to do, SG has begun to move.

Miss Wishing Weil Is Mister
First Man Ever To Win Contest
i
MARC BRESSLER
sponsored by the
Beachcomber, has
won the Wishing
Well contest.
i
During a special Executive
Board meeting Thursday, Dec-
ember 12, SG President^Iory S.
Buckley asked for a S500
honorarium for his work this
term.
"The president definitely has
done enough for the student
body to get $500," he declarea.
The consensus of the
committee was that the price
was too high.
"I think $450 is the minimum
he should receive," said
Senator James Soger.
A motion was made to set the
figure at S375. A vote was taken
and affirmed him that figure."
"I think I am worth many
many many times more,"
commented the President.
SG Treasurer David Lang
asked for $300 but only got
S250.
"If I weren't in SG I would be
making money working, " he
said. SG Vice President Dolor
Ginchereau was awarded $250
but would only accept $189.50.
"There is no way I'm taking
$250, it's too high," said
Ginchereau,
SG Secretary Constance
Holmes refused to take any
money. "I don't tiiink we
should receive any award,"
stated Holmes.

" Evening student, James (Jim)
Stevenson, one of the 215 JC
December graduates, comple-
ted his two year requirements in
a year and a half. He works full
time at Lionel Playwotid and
attends classes four nights a
week.
Jim has been accepted by
FAU to start in January. His
major is Social Psychology. He
will have to give up his daytime
job, but hopes to get into a
routine early that will permit
him to work.
According to Registrar May-
field, many of the 215 graduates
will participate in the Commen-
cement on May 7. Present'
Candidates, as well as_tlipse in
the spring, will receive ten
mvit^tions to the exercises.
Those who prefer to receive
their diploma early may pick
them up frqm Mr. Mayfield or it
will be mailed upon request.
There are presently 4474
students registered for the
winter term, and Evening
Co-ordinator Otis Harvey feels
sure this figure will increase
considerably after evening
registration Dec. 16 and 17 and
January 6 thru 9. This usually
offsets the number graduating.
Several of the group finishing
this term have been referred to
jobs through Job Placement
Center, however Miss Gwendo-
lyn Ferguson, counselor, re-
grets that she does not get a'*j.

Ecology Threat
The natural environment of Palm Beach Gardens has become a topic
of concern by members of the science department.
AsIc Grievance Committee To Help
Continued from pg 2
COMBER: What efforts have
been made by the Executive
Board to get to know the
students?
Ginchereau: First of all we
began by wearing name tags to
let the students know who we
are. If they want to stop us in
the halls or anyplace where we
are, they certainly should and I
hope they would. We've also
gone to classes, Constance and I
specifically, \yith the library
question and talked to students
about it. Also the Grievance
Committee in the Senate might
be able to help lis in this area by
setting up and allowing the
student body to come to them
and say what is on theirminds.
COMBER: Why has the EB
failed to set up a Judicial Board?
Ginchereau; I wouldn't say
we really failed, I understand
Tory (Buckley, SG president),
who would give up the
appointees, really talked to
students and tried to get
student's interested, and it just
didn't seem to be going over.
He talked to Larry Tuttle,
Criminal Justice Director and
the students in his (Tuttle's)
classes just didn't seem to be
interested, Perhaps I should
have taken the ball when it
wasn't getting done but I really
felt it was the president's (Tory
Buckley) responsibility to come
to the EB and say these are my
people I would like you to
approve. Then we'll go to the
senate and have them approve.
COMBER: What do you thmk
of the ability of the present
Senate?
Ginchereau : I think they have
capabilities of doing something
if they are really interested in
the Student Body. I think we
have some people within the
senate that are interested in the
student body and want to do
something. This is why I am
really hoping "and I'm going to
be pushing and I may have to do
re-organization in the senate to
get the senate's energies
together and push forward. The
senate has the ability to do
something and I don't think they
are a mediocre body like some
people do.
COMBER: Should the present
form of SG be dissolved ?
Ginchereau: I think we
certainly ought to investigate.
the possibility of restructuring
5G. The word dissolved bothers
nie. It sounds like you want to
do away with SG entirely and
have nothmg to replace it.
COMBER: What are the goals
for SG during the Winter Terra?
Ginchereau: I would like to
see election reform to keep the
foul-ups that happen in
September from happening
again. 1 would like to see action
on the activity hour because the
student body has expressed a
desire for one.
The senate should have
regular meetings with people
within the administration.
Senators should learn how the
budget is written for next term.
They don't seem to understand
the procedures the treasurer has
to go through to get money.
Finally I hope we have' more
resolutions concerning the
Student Body this year.

Plans for a new JC campus in
Palm Beach Gardens' will be
drawn soon. To date no
planning firm has been engaged
but a choice will be made in the
near future.
The site of the proposed
project lies south of PGA
Boulevard, next to the new
county court complex.
Mr. Richard Gross of the
Biology Dept. was asked for his
evaluation of the ecological
value of the land. He
accompanied a Beachcomber
reporter on a tour of the
proposed site.
After viewing the area first
hand, Gross reported that the
overall habitat of the area
consisted of typical pine
flatwoods with associated cy-
press. From the vegetation
present he concluded that the
land had not been overly
disturbed. Natural vegetation is
dominant in the area with only a
few exotic forms.
When the main campus in
Lake Worth was constructed,
good ecological planning was
unheard of. Bulldozers stripped
the native vegetation and the
land was drained and filled.
Today we have almost no
native vegetation on our main
campus. It has been replaced
by exotic types such as the
Melaleuca, which pose an
ecological threat to existing
native plant communities.
Botany classes must travel
miles on field trips to view
native vegetaition in its natural
state. Using proper conser-
vation principles it is possible to
create a showplace campus in
Palm Beach Gardens.
Be preserving some of the
vegetation already found there
and removing the exotics which
currently inhabit the area,
money could actually be saved.
Native vegetation requires no
watering or pruning or
maintenance of any kind. Exotic
plants would not have to be
purchased.
Science classes could utilize
preserved areas as outdoor
laboratories.
Space utilization is essential
when planning any large
complex such as a college
campus. Of necessity there
must be areas razed for parking
lots, buildings, and athletic
areas, but these could utilize
existingfeaturesoftheland. As
an example, on the property are
several large areas consisting
i4Jmost entirely of exotic
melaleuca trees and very few.
native plants. These areas
would lend themselves well to
parking lots or tennis courts.
Large expanses of saw palmetto
could be similarly used.
Buildings should be built up,
instead of out, in an effort to
further reduce the decimation of
the natural flora.
New Game Room located in the
North SAC lounge.
New Game At JC
JC has recently opened a
gameroom in the North SAC
Lounge. In the room are 2 pool
tables, 2 TV tennis machines, 2
pinball machines, and 1 air
hockey game. A jukebox is on
the way and two ping-pong
tables might be taken from the
school gym for the room.
The American Music Com-
pany rented the games to the
school. The company is to
receive 40% of the profits and
the remaining 60% is used to
pay for supervisors.
Student ID's or Library cards"
must be shown to the supervisor
before pool cues and air hockey
disks can be checked out.
Approximately 40 to 50
people are using the gameroom
daily. The hours are 8:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m.
JC had a gameroom a. few
years ago but it failed because
the equipment was being stolen
or broken. The supervisor is
supposed to keep an eye on the
place.
SG says "It looks like a big
success." "

Many Observe
Jewish Holiday
By BECKY MORSE
Staff Writer
The birth of Christ, better
known as Christmas to most
people, is celebrated annually
on December 25. Yet another
holiday is celebrated by the
people of the Jewish faith.
"Hanukkah", as the Jewish
holiday is known, is being
celebrated from sunset Decem-
ber 9 tili sundown on December
18. On the Hebrew calendar,
Hanukkah is observed on the
25th day of the month of Kislev.
Hanukah means the Feast of
Rededication. The history of the
holiday began when Alexander'
the Great, who conquered
Palestine, at his death left his
province to one of his generals. .
The Syrian King Antiochus
ruled over the Jews and ordered
them to put up statues of Greek
gods in the temple of
Jerusalem.
A few of the Jews cooperated
until this point, but no one
agreed to worship the Greek
gods and forfeit the observance
of their Sabbath. So, the Syrian
King and his soldiers destroyed
the temple of Jerusalem and
tried to force the Jewish people
to eat swine flesh, a forbidden
food of their beliefs.
Many faithful Jews were the
first to fight for the worship
rights of individuals and
religious groups.
The Jewish people led by an
old Jewish priest started the
rebellion against the Syrians
and after three years the Jewish
people conquered and drove the
Syrians from the land and the
temple. The temple was
cleaned and rebuilt, statues of
the Greek gods were broken and
the holy temple was rededicated
to God. So came the name - The
Feast of Rededication.
Usually, gifts are given only
to children, unlike the celebra-
tion of Christmas. The children .
receive very inexpensive gifts
the first seven nights and the
eighth night a surprise gift is
given.
Hanukkah also means the
Feast of Lights. When the
temple was ready for rededi-
cation the priests found only one
little container of oil. They used
this to light the great menorah
(a popular symbol of Judaism
that holds nine candles and
originated from the Eternal
Light which bums constantly in
all synagogues.) Afraid it would
not burn long they sent
messengers to swiftly bring-
more oil. However, the lights
burned eight days until the
messengers arrived. That is
why Hanukkah is celebrated
eight days and a candle is lit
every day for eight days and
afterwards blessings are re-
peated.
Have a Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year, and HAPPY
HANUKKAH!!
Chris f mas -AHolidoy For GiVing
Creative Presents Cherished
"I want," 'Tdlike," "I wish
I'd get," are all common
phrases heard around Christ-
mas.
Christmas has traditionally
become a time of the giving and
receiving of gifts, ever since the
magi brought the gold,
frankincense and myrrh to the
Christ Child.
However, sometimes this
poses a problem of what to buy
for whom. In a very
materialistic world there are
very few presents that stand out
as just the right one.
On answer is a home-crafter
present. Receiving a gift that is
hand made with a lot of time and
care goes beyond the gift itself.
It shows a deep care for the
person for whom the gift is
intended. Such a gift is likely to
stand out for it's individually
made and therefore cherished.
Such gifts can far outweight
numerous material things that
cost a lot of money but aren't
exactly what you want to give.
Creative presents, whether a
craft or such talented works as
poetry, stories and_^ songs,
exhibit talent and care.
The giving of Christmas gifts
shouldn't be thought of as a
joy rather than a chore, if we
were to return to the old fashion
ways of handmade gifts, each
present would be a joy an
individual expression of love.
After all, why is it that
parents cherish their children's
"Works of art" and handmade
cards? It's because they are
hand made. If you looked
through attics and old chests,
you're more likely to find the
handmade works of a child than
materialistic gifts. Handmade
gifts are made with care,
patience and love.
All these characteristics are
Gift Seekers Create Havoc
conveyed through gifts of a
handmade nature, and what
better gifts can we give at
Christmas and all year but the
gifts of care, patience, and love?

There has been a mass
invasion on shopping centers!
Everywhere there are gift-buy-
ing, shoplift-trying, childpuU-
ing, package-toting SHOP-
PERS.
Since no one can escapt the
major onslaught; the best one
can do is -escape alive.
The first danger is stampede.
Go to a shopping mall and you
become one of thousands of
people converging on merchan-
dise. A shopper can only make
it if he manages to get into the
right lane of traffic.
The next danger comes from
the big crowds; bumping. No,
not the dance. Doing this kind
of bump provokes a dirty look
from the ' 'bumpee' ' . Of course,
they think the "bumper" is
trying to pickpocket them.
Although bumping into
^someone is almost always
accidental, pickpockets and
purse thiefs probably have
banner days during the holiday
season. Shoplifters do, too, and
It's literally a crime the way they
operate. Keep a close eye on
that lady who uses an open
suitcase for a purse.
. A lot of husbands end up
sitting on benches while their
wives browse. But, a man
shopping is unique.
"She's about your size," "A
little bigger here, smaller
there". . .many men never think
to ask about sizes.
And, though the common cold
seems to be epidemic this time
of the year, multiple "sniffs"
can be heard from perfume
counters.
Shopping at Christmastime is
hectic, but it's part of the
season, Yes, it is beginning to
look a lot like Christmas. But,
don't take the time to see how
much. . .there are only eight
more shopping days until Dec.

Introduction
BY DEBBEB THOMPSON
Feature Editor
While December 25 is
traditionally noted as America's
greatest religions holiday of the
year, the majority of PBJG's
seventy fore'ign-ezchMige stn-
dents have something else in
mind when the term "Happy
Holidays" is used.
Altfaongh most Christians
celebrate Ciuistmas for the
same reason only in ii different
manner, the Middle East, Aaia^
and the Eastern coantries
worship in quite a different
manner.
Religions practices are sect-
divided, aod^ cannot be
classified into specific coantries^.
The main religions consist of
Hinduism, Buddhism, and the
Moslem, or Islamic i>eUef.
HINDUISM
Hinduism, the traditional religion of India,
began about 2500 B.C., and has about 408
mliion foUowers. Hindu's believe In a
supreme and absolute power called Brahman,
and feel that a man's soul most be reborn
again and agidn nntll It becpmes pure enough
to be united with him. In that state, men wiU
take part in perfection.
Patel Yogesh, a foreign exchange student
from India, explains their greatest religious
festival as being the ceibration of "the
people's salvation &om the evil King Rama."
"We call this celebration 'Diwaly, which
lasts for two days and is held in the first or
second week of November. Everyone cleans
theb homes, dresses In their best clothes, and
visits theh- neighbors," Yogesh explains.
Buildings are lit up with candles, the
townspeople celebrate with food and drink,
and presents are exchanged.
"This is also our New Year", he added,
"Eveiyone wishes each other "Sahnnbatak"
or Happy New Year. During the day we also
go to the temple, then at night firecrackers are
set off."
GOGESH PATEL, a native of
India, cites "Diwaiy" as his
greatest religions holiday.
Another important religion, which developed
from Hindblsm-, is the belief founded by Gautama
Buddha around 400 B.C.
Buddhism, represented by over 165 million
worshipers, encompasses ' the countries of
Burma, Cambodia, Ceylong, Laos, Thailand, and
Vietnam. Another form, the Mahayana
Buddhism, includes China, Korea, Mongolia' and
the. rest df Southeast Aisa.
"Buddha means "fully enlightened", or
"awakened one". The Buddhists, goal in life is
Nirvana, a state of complete peace and love.
Suksirislip Amorurut and Thavonpnsit
Banhan, foreign exchange students from
Thailand, explafai tiiehr Christmas holiday in this
way:
"Christmas In Thailand Is not the greatest
event of the year sfaice almost "^70% of the
population are Buddhists; nevertheless,
Christians in Thailand do celebrate Joyfully bi
many churches."

BUDDHISM
On Christmas eve, the Christians have their
party either at home or church. Following these
parties, which usually end up at midnight, the
church member visit each others home, and on
the mondng of December 25 they go to worship.
For most of the people of Thailand, though, the
greatest religious holiday is April 13, the day of
the New Year. The Boddlsts bum candles, sing
and dance, have parties, go to the temple in the
morning."
On April 13, 14 and IS, flie people gatiier to
tiirow water on each other . as a btrissing.
Traditionally, the water is thrown on the older
people, but the yonths often sway from the rules
and throw the water on each other" stated
Jesada Tankigthanongsuk, JC exchange student
and native Thai.
"In the northern part of Thailand, the people
place something old, such as an article of
clothing, in a river and let It wash away,
symbolizing tiiefr bad luck gotag away" he
added.
THE ISLAMIC
BELIEF
Moslems are peole who
practice the religion Islam,
preached by Mohammed In
600 A.D. The term Moslem
comes (torn an Arabic word
meaning "one who submits to
God."
The over 465 followers of tiie
Islamic belief come from the
Middle East, Nortii Africa,
Southeast Asia and Pakistan,
Malaysia and Indonesia.
Moslems celebrate many
events, the most important
being the mourning of the
death of Husaln, a grandson of
Mohammed In 661 A.D.
They also observe the
Ramadan, or fasting. During
the ninth mouth of the Moslem
year, they may not eat or drink
from dawn to sunset.
Travelers, the sick, nursing
mothers, and soldiers on the
march are exempt, but must
make up the days missed.
Moslems joyfully ' celebrate
the end of the fast in the
three-day celebration of the
Littie Bairam, or Festival of
the reiJdng.

Jovial "Santa's" visited the

Piously moving the Concert

Sharp, clear, and emotive

The two Santas, besides

in some clever skits. In the skits

fRecord Review
Zappa Is The Main Mother
Frank Zappa owns twenty
assorted guitars, hates the
establishment, cites weakneisses
in the system, doesn't trust
anyone, wears his hair long and
shaggy and heads the legendary
Mothers Of Invention rock
band.
The lyrics to his songs are
mostly clever satires about
people, places, and life as it is
seen through the eyes of Frank
Zappa. And, as he will openly
admit, he is a very good guitar
player. Would you buy an
album from this man?
The double LP' 'Roxy and
Elswhere' is a collection of real
strong live rock energy captured
from the Mothers U.S. tour
during the winter and apring of
this year. Unlike most live
albums by other rock artists, the
whole set consists entirely of
new songs.
Much of 'Roxy's' material
holds much commercial poten-
tial but will probably go
unnoticed as compared to lesser
vvorks by popular bands who get
that way strictly by maintaining
a friendly, favorable reputation
with the media. Frank Zappa
and the broadcast media are
longtime enemies, so don't
Jimmy Neil
expect to hear any of this album
or any other Mothers work given
fair air play on your local radio.
Songs like 'Penguin In
Bondage' and 'More Trouble
Every Day' are based primarily
on the blues scale, in straight
four/four time for the most part,
and include rock out guitar solos
by the master composer Zappa.
His fingers moye up and
down the fingerboard faster and
more efficient than any other
rock guitarist. His scale
patterns and runs boggle the
mind. His selection of notes is
highly creative making for a

The Mind Instrument
By Frank Smifhi
S Electronic music threatens to take over the music industry, but 1
e a more human musical process promises to keep man's hand in §
g creativity. =
More and more people hear electronic music everyday and S
they will hear more of it. This type of music is very efficient to S
produce because it eliminates the middle man, the performer. It S
goes directly, during it's conception, onto electronic tape. Put 1
the tape on a maphine, turn it on,, and there is the music 5
reproduced exactly as conceived. =
With they type of music, the sound of any mstrument can be S
reproduced and the music produced can be speeded up to create S
melody lines which could never be obtained from human 5
performances. 5
_ Unfortunately, it is this lack of human traces which deters 5
S "mechanical" music. Humans like to hear humans. S
S The few advantages, faster tone succession, endless variety of E
S sound forms, and an inhuman degree of efficiency, become S
5 disadvantages when we are looking for emotive effects, it is hard S.
S 10 affect humans with inhuman sounds. S
S Someday man will use music to serve as an extension of his s

Side two's 'Village of The
Sun' is a vocal piece about a
place where he used to live
where they used to raise
turkeys.
Immediately following are
two Instrumental s linked to-'
gether called 'Echidna's Arf'
and 'Don't You Ever Wash That
Thing?' which are the Record
Review album's best selections.
They include a hazzy trombone,
solo by Bruce Fowler, a jazzy
electric piano solo by George
Duke, a double drum solo by
Ralph Humphrey and Chester
Thompson, and a varying, very
different use of percussion
implements by Ruth Under-
wood.
Doing lead vocals and
performing on tenor sax and
tlute is the amazing and funny
Napolean Murphy Brock.
Bassist Tom Fowler is
responsible for the very funky
pulsating bass work throughout
the album.
The new live Mothers LP is a
fantastic contribution to the ever
-evolving world of modern rock
and will make an excellent
Christmas gift for that very
special someone in your life - or
just yourself.
Guitar classicist Charles Stein was one of the many performers
presented during the past few week's seminars.
Music Majors Meet
By BECKY MORSE
Staff Writer
An excellent show or talent was displayed by music majors in
the last music seminar of the term which was held Wednesday
December 11.
Music majors are required to perform in a seminar specializing
on a chosen instrument or doing a vocal.
Accompanied by Sharon Nelson on the piano Merja Poutianen
sang Beau Soir by Debussy to begin the program.
The seminar took an upbeat as Mike Poupard performed on
the snare drum, "Etude for Snare FDrum" by Tuthill. Which
was followed by a beautiful exhibition on the guitar by Tomothy
Doherty, who played a Spanish ballet "Romanz in E Minor".
Patti Dickenson then held the audiences . attention while she
performed on the cello.
Schuman's "Intermezzo" was dynamically played on the
piano by Nell Bell.
Betsy Pryor did na excellent rendition of ' 'Down by the Sally
Garden" and was accompanied by Sharon Nelson on the piano.
Daniel Stewart sang two numbers, "Die Forelle" by Schubert
and "This World" by Bernstein, accompanied by Miss Ruth
Ruggles, on piano.
Linda Cooper displayed an outstanding talent as she sang
"Tortorella" by Pietiaguia to the accompaniments of Miss
Ruggles.
Captivation of the audience was Craig Evans' desire, which he
accomplished with his rendition of the Third Movement of
Beethoven's "Pathetique Sonata" on the piano.
Miss Ruggles again accompanied on piano as Edward Esposito
sang two pieces "Widmung" by Schuman and "O Mistress
Mine" by Quilter.
Schubert's "Ave Maria" was done by Thomas Sye and
accompanied by Angela Moffet on the piano.
"Sonatina" by Hartley, was nicely performed by Nick Patsis
on the trumpet with Miss Ruggles accompaning. Katheryn
Koontz played the flute in "Poem" by Griffes and Denise O'Neil
played the violin for Mozart's G Major Concerto" accompanied
by Miss Ruggles to finish the program.
Mr. Sy Pryweller, director for the Concert Band and Jazz |
Ensemble, demonstrates his rhythmic expertise at the drums. |
and the Jazz Ensemble was SyS
Pryweller. i
The whole show roused theS
viewers spirits. "Merry g
Christmas" he said. i

Late last Thursday night as
the Beachcomber staff worked
diligently on producing that
week's paper.
Suddenly, there was a
rusding of wind, the pitter
patter of little hoofs atop the
office and a radiant red glow
about the JC grounds.
I knew at once it must be
Santa Claus or this was one of
the things that 30 cups of coffee
in one day will do to you. But
Santa Claus on Dec. 6?
Believe it or not, the door to
the office flung open and in
walked a couple of elves and this
big guy with a beard and a red
suit. Simple deduction told me
that this must be Santa Claus or
I had had one too many
Christmas spirits.
The following is a word for
word interview that I managed
to obtain from Santa when no
one else was in the office. It is a
pity they missed Santa.
'Comber: Well, Santa, what
news do you bring from the
North Pole?
Santa: Well, I have some good
news and some bad news. First
the bad news. The industrial
countries of the world are in an
economic recession.
'Comber: Well, Santa, what's
the good news?
Santa: Christmas is coming!
'Comber: Ho Ho Ho. What
brings you here this time of
December?
Santa; My reindeer and sleigh

Happy Holidays To The

Printers of

From The
Beachcomber Staff
Wishing ail my many friends
A Very Happy & Healthy New Year,
and an Extra Special
"Very Merry Christmas"
from your real friend
t Mike Dan
f Miami, Florida
thought I would just beat the
Christmas rush.
'Comber: Tell us Mr. Claus,
what is it like flying from rooftop
to rooftop delivering toys all
over the world. Could you
describe that sensation?
Santa: Well, I'd say it's a
natural high. Little Christmas
iiumor there. Ho, Ho.
'Comber: Ho, Ho try again.
Santa; Well, you could kind of
say that Christmas is my bag.
'Comber: Yes, I guess you
could, Santa. Those jokes Just
sleigh me. What Is the one
thing that you try never to forget
when packing?
Santa: Mistletoe. I never make
a trip without it. At my age, a
little artificial stimulus never
hurt anyone. When you're
immortal, you just kind of hit a
peak after 20 or 30 centuries.
Ah, but it's just a fad. Say, have
you ever had a mistletoe
cocktail?
'Comber: Mistletoe cocktail?
Santa: Yes. One drink and
you'll pucker up to anything
organic for a week? Old
Rudolph got into three of those
last Christmas.
'Comber: So that explains his
red nose.
Santa: No, he was born with
that. But, every time we flew
over a zoo he wanted to go down
and fill a giraffe's neck with
hickies.
'Comber: Santa, back to you.
Has the energy crisis affected
you and If so, what have you
done to fight it?
Santa: Yes, it has. I've cut my
reindeer down from eight to six
and if you've noticed, Rudolph's
nose is even dimmer.. But, I
may have a tough time
delivering toys in America this
year. My reindeer don't seem
to meet the E.P.A. pollution
control standards for 1974.
'Comber; I find It amazing that
someone actually lives at the
North Pole.
Santa: Oh, come on now, you
don't actually believe that.
Everyone knows that no one can
live at the North Pole.
'Comber: But, Mr. Claus, if you
don't live at the North Pole,
where do you make all those
toys?
Santa: Make all those toys I
You've got to be kidding. I
thought everyone knew I was a
middle man for Mattel.
'Comber; Well, Santa, just to
keep your Image up, how cold
does it get at the North Pole?
Santa: Let me put it this way. It
was so cold this morning that
when I got up I accidently
bumped into an end table and
my underwear shattered.
Pardon me, but I must be going.
You see, I've left my sleigh
double parked and the campus
police are depositing citations
all over it. That's right
Rudolph, eat them.,
'Comber: Well, Santa, It
certainly has been a pleasure
talking to you. I only wish
someone else could have been
here to see you. Yon certainly
are interesting and showed me
an entirely different side of you.
Santa: Oh really? Which side,
my left or my right? Well, it
was a pleasure for me also.
Merry Christmas to all - that's it
Rudolph, go for the book and
pencil, I'll go for the gun.

"Beatlemania. . .affects all
social classes and all levels of
intelligence. There has been
adulation before. . .but no one
has taken the national fancy as
have the Beatles," reported
Frederick Lewis in the New York
Times.
These words conclude the
astonishing effect the Beatles
have had on society.
As a group, the Beatles sold
well over 30 million records in
the United States, surpassing all
previous fightes. Besides being
considered the biggest act in the
history of show business, the
Beatles becanrie the. first
recording artists to have a
record become a milion seller
before its release!
Performing under the gui-
dance of their late manager
Brian Epstein, the Beatles
signed a recording contract that
vtfas to be followed by the
release of their first single,
"Love Me Do," in 1962. Selling
100,000 copies, make it the last
time a Beatle single sold less
than a half -million.
"She Loves You," released in
«f^
.?#.
Vintage Beatles ■ Ringo Starr, George Harrison, John Lennon and Paul McCartney [left to right,
flanking Ed Sullivan] as they appeared in their first American television appearance in 1964.
1963,, became their first
"English" million seller. It was
followed by the single, "Please
Paul, John, Ringo and George back in '64.
Please Me" and two albums
entitled, "With the Beatles,"
and "Introducing the Beatles."
They then released their first
million seller in the U.S.,
"Want to Hold Your Hand."
The Beatles first release on
the Capitol label, "Meet the
Beatles," was a huge success,
making it one of the largest
selling albums of all time.
There was no stopping them,
at this point. They were bound
to reach all heights of success.
As years passed, they
produced one million sellers
after another. The "consisten-
cy" in the song writing of
Lennon and McCartney was
probably the most influential
agent in the Beatles' success as
a group. Today .McCartney and
Lennon hold the distinction of
being the most successful song
writers in the world.
When the Beatles toured the
United States. In 1964 and 1965,
they proved that they were as
exciting in the flesh as on vinyl.
In their first television appea-
rance on the Ed Sullivan Show
in 1964 the Beatles were a huge
success.
From that time, "Beatles"
became a household word. Fan
clubs sprang up across the
civilized world while Beatle
Buttons, Wigs, Tea Shirts,
Nightgowns, Magazines, and
believe it or not, even Beatle
Nut Ice Cream were being sold
in large quantities.
The big question at that time
was "how long would this sheer
mania continue?" Most
thought that it was just a fad
that would die out in due time. .
little did they know!
To this very day Beatle music
is just as popular as it was when
it was released.

With Christmas break three
days away, an inner desire
among the JC baseball players
will be fulfilled. That desire is
to get back to full scale practice.
The Pacers open just three
days after the Winter Term
begins with the Ft. Lauderdale
Baseball School. The Friday,
Jan. to game at 7:30 p.m. is to
be played at the Texas Rangers
facilities in Pompano.
The first eleven games are
exhibition with the baseball
school, yet the Pacers will go all
out. according to Head Coach
Dusty Rhodes.
The players are on a running
program now to get in shape.
The personnel who will be in
town over Christmas break are
practicing everyday at 10 a.m. ■
Many battles will be staged
for starting positions, yet
Rhodes says he will use
everybody.
Mike Rowe, 6' 1" freshman
from West Palm Beach and'
Jerry Walter, 6' 3" sophomore
from Manitowic, Wise, two
power hitters, will battle for first
base.
Second base is wrapped up by
Glenn Rogers, a 5'8" hometown
freshman. Bob Benda, also
5' 8" has a good jump on
shortshop. He is a native of
North Palm Beach.
Dave Lang, a 5' 11"
sophomore from Waukegan, III.
who batted .290 last year, will
get a run for his money on third.
His competition is Tom
McCoilugh who "came in and
made it on his own" according
to Rhodes. McCoullgh lead the
club this fall in total hits.
The outfield is centered
around powerful Sam Testa.
Testa, a six footer from Lake
Worth had eight RBI's in two
games against Dade-North this
fall. Flanking Testa, left field,
is Bob Morrisey, a 5' 11"
sophomore from Howard Beach,
N.Y. In right field is Skip
Walker, a six footer from Palm
Reach Qardens.
Also seeing plenty of action
will be John Inglis, a S'll"
speedster from WPB. He has a
chance to break Tommy Clark's
stolen base record of 25.
The Florida State Jr. College
League uses the designated
hitter, and Rich Sorise will fill
the 197S Pacers Baseball team [from I to r] first row, Glenn Kogers [IS], Mark Rusinko [36], Bill Kirk ]38], John Ingles [2S],
Bob Morrisey [20], Dan Destout [21]., and Bob Benda [16]. The second row includes Terry Dreher [27], Kenny Rogers [23], Ed
Boyle [263, Dave Lang [18], Skip Walker [24], Rich Sorise [33] and Sam Testa [32]. The top row Includes Ed Fisher [29], Ross
Baumgarten [30], Tom McCuUough [17], Hod Jones [31], Jerry Walter [35], Andy McGaffigan [28], Julian Rodrignes [19], Mike
Rowe [34] and head coach Dusty Rhodes [22].
that position for the Pacers.
Rhodes' biggest headache
will be the catching position.
Bill Kirik, Dan. Destout and
Mark Rusinko all have a shot at
the starting post. "I got three
catchers and I couldn't even^tell
you who its going to be,"
explained Rhodes. . Of the 22
players, seven are pitchers.
Terry Deher, Ed Boyle, Ed
Fisher, Ross Bauymgarten, Rod
Jones, Andy McGaffin, and
Julian Rodriquiez will handle
the throwing chores this season.
"They are all starters, and all
relievers."
Rhodes went on to say, "This
year we have speed. We're
going to run. They :our.
opponents; are going to have to
make up their minds because
they're going to have to throw
us out. I don't believe in
defensive baseball. If that
catcher is going to be an
All-American, he's going to
have to do it every time."

"Man for man, I don't see anyone who can handle us. It's a
matter of us doing the job."
Those are the optimistic words of the Pacers' young, energetic
new head baseball coach. Dusty Rhodes.
Rhodes,* beginning his first season at the helm, will guide 22
ball players in 48 games this season.
: There is also a
strong possibility of
picking up a couple of
games when Rhodes
travels to the NCAA.

!jan. 2-5 in Washing-
ton, D.C. Northern
colleges travel to
Florida to tune up
during spring break,
and Rhodes hopes to
line up a few of them
while in the nation's
capital.
These are exhibition games for the Pacers, but Rhodes will
pull all of the strings. "I'm planning to use everybody I got, ant
we'll go all out."
Rhodes said of Fred Ferrai's school, "When we play them,
they'll have the younger guys from the major and minor leagues
that are getting ready for spring training.
"Last year they beat Dade-North, who were second in the
nation a couple of time. North had 11 or 12 players go on to four
year schools and a couple signed."
Looking toward the season, "Dade-North, South, Downtown,
and Browardwill be our competition."

Bowlers Cap
Fall Season
By AMY STRIMBU
Staff Writer
Trophies were awarded and
weeks of intramural bowling
were capped by a party held at
Corky's Pizza Wednesday.
Brian Richards and Sharon
Nelson received trophies for
high averages - Richards' was
177, Nelson's was 154.
Receiving trophies for high
series were Bill Brown and
Richards, high men's series,
586, and Donna Marotta, high
women's series, 525.
Jody Salzgeber got a trophy
for high women's game, 212,-
as did Kim Heinicka for the
men 227.
The teams in first place
were "The Ups and Downs,"
consisting of Salzgeber, Jan
Kisker, Margie Immel and
Ingrid Sainio. The men's
leading team was "The Best",
with Kent Knox, Richards,
awfiw:?
Huniberto Munoz and Larry
Wheeler. ;
The bowlers chipped in and
bought Coach Bell a plaque
-saying "Thanks" for helping
lo get the intramural bowling
into full swing for the fall
term.
Special to 'Comber
"There is something in intramurals for everyone."
This is the phrase which one hears coach Roy Bell state
repeatedly in description of his program.
There is also someone in intramurals from everywhere.
Take Kathy Wilk and Dawn Pastore, two different girls with
two different backgrounds, both members of the Intramural and
Recreation Board which governs the activities.
"1 like to work around sports," said Wilk, who helped
organize the I&R Bowling Tournament this fall.
Wilk, a freshman , took times and handled the statistics for the
track team at her alma mater. Twin Lakes High in West Palm
Beach.
The work on the I and R Board is a volunteer job for Wilk, who
will qualify for a paid position at the beginning of the winter
term. '
"We do lot of clerical work," said Wilk. "We have to keep
track of all the students who are participating in all of the sports
offered by the intramural program."
According to Wilk, this includes a running total of
participations to accurately decide how many people are active in
which of the varied programs.
Wilk is studying for an A.S. degree in Recreational '
Leadership, but has one other main ambition for a career.
"I would like to be a stewardess," said Wilk. "After I get my
degree here at JC, I would like to try to attend one of the training
schools around the country."
According to Wilk, the air training schools like their entrants
to get at least two years of college before registering for classes.
"Flying was something I always wanted to do," said Wilk.
Pastore was. almost a victim of her environment.
"When I was younger, all of the people in my neighborhood
lat were my own age were boys," she said. "Because I was
Iways around boys, I became very mterested in sports at an
early age."
After leaving her birthplace hi Hartford. Conn., Pastore moved
to Lake Wor^h, where she attended John I. Leonard High School.
At .Leonard, she was named the Most Valuable Womati
Athlete after her senior year.
Pastorfcservejd as president of the Girls' Athletic Associatiop
and took an active part m all the women's sports.
She also played irf-the annual GAA "powderpuff basketball
game" where he; team won in both her junior and senior years. '
Pastore is majoring in Physical Education, with hopes of
eventually becoming a teacher.;
"1 like sports and I like hei^^g people. I think I could teach
children something I know well - physical education."
Pastore is the student director of the intramural program, and
is m charge of all the somen's activities for I and R.

By BRIAN E.CROWLEY
Editor
General enrollment into Palm
Beach Junior College will be
limited for the first time in JC's
history. Economic pressures
are forchig the administration to
cap enrollment for Spring I and
Spring II semesters.
A recent cutback of $169,217
of ■ state funds coupled with
soaring enrollments in the
current winter term were cited
, as two of the main reasons for
the cutback by JC president Dr.
Harold Manor during an
emergency faculty meeting held
Wednesday, Jan. 15.
Dr. Manor told the faculty
less than 12,000 student
semester hours will remain to be
funded by the state this year
because of the enrollment
funding cap.
Last year over 12,000
semester hours were enrolled in
Spring I. If the same thing
happens this year, and it is
expected, then there would be
no money left for Spring II.'
"We will be forced to divide
our remaining funding between
the two terms, and to cut off
enrollment when we reach the
limit," Dr. Manor told his grim
audience.
He said students already
enrolled would be given
priority, and that if spaces
remained for new students they
would probably be served on a
date of application basis.
"Any enrollment cap ultimat-
ely limits the economic potential
of Florida," said Manor.
In addition to limiting
enrollment. Dr. Manor is
recommending a four day week
during the two spring terms and
a budget review to reduce
spending by $120,000. He
added that non-credit work-

PSI Has No Class
Teacher Is Student
By Muffy McClung .
Staff Writer
Courses of Personalized System of instruction (^P.S.T ) are
. . 111^ ;.cld ..1 the library at JC.
P.S.I, can be characterized as having no conventional
classroom. There is no set class time and .the student is
independent. The student may use the library facilities. He
is expected to organize his own time. A proctor and class
book are there for his use.
This system of study was introduced a decade ugo when
two professors. Dr. Fred Keller i^i Dr. Gil Sherman, were
invited by the government of '• ■ ■ : i' ■reate ii'^w n.etii>'ds of
instruction.
Mr. Rpnjamin Robeiis, who heads P.S.I, at JC says, "This
sy.Mcm .ii personali/ed iMStnicti< ' Is studi.nis a variety
of pro.yranis winch are frequi .> u available by more
traditioinil methods."'
Although there are no legal rcouirements Hv "ir iment in
P.S.I, -lasses in the traditional way, these col.. st > aio listed
on class print-out sheets. An option on enrolling at any time
for P.S.I, is given. Students enrolling later can get an add slip
from the registrar. Althougii the student may enroll at his
convenience, he is evpected to complete this u nrk by the end
of a 16 week semester.
There are two advantages for the student in P.S.I. The
system is a self-paced one. Exams are given indivi dually

Another .idvantage of P.S 1. is a silf-paced program, the

Although the technology and enterprise classi. . are not

There are seven courses iffered with personalized

South Eastern Florida.
P.S.I, is growing in popularity. Its metho'^s of study aro

Enrollment Record Set
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
• An all-time Winter term
record 7,410 students are now
enrolled at JC, according to
figures released by Registrar
Laurence Mayfield.
Though the current enroll-
ment is less than the Fall term
student population of 7,448,
Mayfield indicated that the drop
was less than the normal ten per
cent decrease between major
terms.
JC's 3,795 day students
outnumber the 3,615 evening
students, a reversal of the Fall
term when there were more
night enrolees.
"With the economic situation
as it is," commented Mayfield,
"more students are coming as
full-time day students. Before,
when they had jobs, they
worked during the day and came
to school at night."
Here is the current break-
down of students at JC's main
Lucy Stops Smoking
Air pollution and the
respiratory diseases it causes
were the topics presented by the
American Lung Association in
the Lucy Booth Jan. 15th.
David Baker and Sandra
Kessler, program administra-
tors for the Lung Association,
presided over the booth which is
occupied by various charitable
groups during the college year.
They offered information and
referral services for people
concerned about the effects of
air pollution.
Students who visited the
booth were interested in
3IIIIIIIIII
smoking, according to Kessler.
Kessler said- about 35 students
inquired about smoking and
how to quit.
Smoking, how to quit, and the
rights of non-smokers were the
subjects of a booth sponsored
last year by the ALA, acording
to Kessler.
Because of the high level of
campus interest about smoking,
Kessler proposed setting up a
free class discussion on the
subject and the rights of
non-smokers. The class would
be mediated once a week by a
JC professor.

Mayfield felt registration
went smoother than the Fall
term, primarily because of the
time factor. "For the Winter
term we started registration the
first week in November.
Therefore, the process is
scattered out over a longer
period of time," said Mayfield.
Emphasizing that drop/add
was lower than ever before,
Mayfield indicated that "most
of our classes are filled to
capacity."
Classes most in demand
included English 101, tennis,
self-defense, and chemistry.
"By and large, I think
everyone got about what they
wanted," said Mayfield.
No definite dates have been
set, but Mayfield expects
pre-scheduling for Spring I and
the Fall term to begin at the end
of March.

StudentsTo Vote On Amendments
By Joel Tanen
Staff Writer
The SG Senate Thursday agreed to hold the Special
Elections on Feb. 7th and 8th instead of Jan. 29th and 30th.
The student body is asked to vote on Constitutional
Amendments and three yes or no questions.
The questions are as follows: "Should athletics receive
one-third of your activity fee as presently is being done?
Should the SGA be abolished in its present form and be set up
as a student committee? Do you want a yearbook?"
Secretary of Elections Mark Graham said only one voting
machine will be used in the elections and under his^
supervision. .
The average number of votes for past elections sjjiEiEean the
140 range. SG plans to put posters around the campus and
publicize the elections in a newsletter to be printed "as often
as -possible;"
A resolution setting up a "Standing Rules" committee was
passed after short debate.
The resolution written by Senator Sam Putt gives the
committee power to receive all legislation before being
introduced on the Senate floor. By majority vote, the
committee can pigeonhole or send a bill to the floor.
Putt defended his resolution by saying the Senate can
accomplish "a minimum of twice as much work as we do
now."
Opposition came from Senator Robert Roberts.
"How will you be able to set up an agenda?," asked
Roberts.
"If we pass this thing we're just making another committee
when in fact we already have committees established now to
do what this committee is going to do," he argued.
The Senate passed, a resolution written by Senator Rob
Abrams asking that "Roberts Rules of Order, Revised
Newly", in paperback, replace "Parliamentary Law At a
Glance" for all SG officials.
Under the Constitution, SG is bound to "Roberts Rules of
Order."
"We're saving money. It doesn't have any discrepancies,"
said Abrams.
Senator Sue Keen was elected as the first female President
Pro Tem in JC history.
SG officials were surprised that Keen defeated three male
opponents. Her leadership ability was not questioned.
The Grievance Committee set up last term meets every
Thursday in the cafeteria, 11-12:00 noon. Students are
welcome to present their gripes to the committee.
Chairperson Rob Abrams, of the Constitutional
Amendments Revision Committee, said he is making
progress.
"We've been getting lots of constitutions everyday. We

does not anticipate a cut in the
Activity Fee Committee budget,
and blames a state ruling for the
reason cumulative averages
were not included in recently
mailed grade reports for the Fall

At the November meeting of
JC's Board of Trustees, the

charged on a three hour
graduating scale, with a S129
limit for 12 or more hours.
Under the new set-up, which
begins in Fall term, 1975,
students are to pay fees at a rate

Get Into FAU
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
Procedures for admission to Florida Atlantic University
may now be completed at the JC campus through the
cooperative efforts of the Student Personnel Department and
FAU's Admissions personnel.
Each Friday, FAU Admissions staff member Bill McCray is
available from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Guidance Center,
AD-l . JC students have the opportunity to make apointments
with McCray to discuss and complete admission procedures.
According to Marian C. McNeely, guidance counselor,
"FAU and JC personnel alike, feel this is another major
service designed to meet the needs of present and former JC
students,"
In a recent interview with the Beachcomber, FAU's
McCray outlined the current relationship between JC and
FAU, the nation's first successful upper division university.
Now 10 years old, FAU is specifically designed for the
junior college graduate or transfer student.
"The atmosphere is more condusive to learning than most
universities," comments McCray. "Everyone is at a point
where they know where they are going - what they want to
be,"
When FAU hosted a junior college day in the fall, few JC
students were in attendance. But with FAU's main campus
just 13 miles away, McCray hopes underclassmen will take an
afternoon off to experience the convenience of the Boca Raton
location.
FAU's student population of 6000 includes 888 JC
graduates. "There is not a measurable grade difference,"
explains McCray, "between JC graduates and students who
transfer from four-year universities."
Also on the plus side is that once you arrive at FAU, you are
probably going to remain and graduate. McCray points out
that FAU's success rate is "much greater compared to the
high atti-ition rate at Junior Colleges."
The JC-FAU relationship extends beyond simple
admissions procedures. JC's south campus is located at
Henderson School on the FAU campus, with students using
FAU's fVacilities and JC's instructors.
In return, FAU offers local students business and
educational courses at the Palm Beach Center on 45th Street
in West Palm Beach. Another extension of FAU is located in
Belle Glade.
Cooperation filters through both main campuses with
upper-division courses being offered at JC, with the reverse
in effect at FAU. Most of the co-sponsored courses are in the
science and engineering fields.
McCray takes the feeling of cooperation to heart when he
visits JC. Sincerely interested in the minority aspects of
education, McCray is "trying to establish good
communications between black organizations here ( JC's
Organization of Afro- American Affairs jand the Black Student
Union at FAU.
In his role as an admissions staff member, McCray says he
visits all 29 of the state's junior colleges at least twice a year,
with the majority of the time being spent at JC, Miami-Dade,
Broward, Indian River, and Edison.
McCray urges students to complete FAU applications
before the end of March to avoid any kind of "tentative"
admission. Unlike the University of Florida, which now
screens some junior college associate of arts degree
graduates, FAU automatically accepts any JC graduate.
Associate of Science degree grads must complete General
Education requirements before admission. Transfer students
are accepted with 60 semester hours and a 2.0 average.
Deans and teachers from all of FAU's academic areas are to
appear during "FAU Week," tentatively scheduled for Feb.
10-13 on the JC campus.
Scholarship Given
JC graduate, Michael Helton,
West Palm Beach, recently
received a University of Florida
Honors Scholarship for Junior
College Transfers.
Helton's scholarship was
announced in a communication
received by Dr. Harold C.
Manor, FBJC president, from I.
Douglas Turner, director of the
university's office for Student
Financial Affairs.
"Each year the University of
Florida is able to recognize a
select number of students who
have demonstrated outstanding
academic and leadership ability,
and Helton's performance has
placed him in this group, ' '
Turner said.
Helton will receive up to $450
for the academic year 1974-75,
the director added.
school year. Currently, the
committee, which allocates
funds for various student
activities, must project the
1975-76 enrollment since budget
requests for the organizations
are due before the end of the
Winter term.
Under the present system,
any student taking 18 hours only
must pay as much as a 12 hour
student. Under the new
program., an 18 hours student
must pay Sll for each hour
taken.
"1 would anticipate that
students would be more sincere
in choice of classes,"- said
Mayfield.
On another controversial
subject closely related to the
Registrar's office, Mayfield
attributed a state ruling as the
reason cumulative averages
were not included in recent
grade reports.
"The transcript form sent by
the state did not include address
space," explained Mayfield.
In previous semesters the
Registrar's staff could easily
mail transcripts by using
"window" envelopes. How-
ever, since the transcript itself
no longer includes space for an
address, this is impossible.
"We're not going to mail
transcripts out anymore, unless
we come back here and spend
extta time and money to put on
address labels," Mayfield
commented. Due to the school's
current economic condition,
Mayfield doubted that the
additional funds could be found.
All 27 junior colleges in
Florida are using the state's
transcript form. According to
Mayfield, "I don't know of any
other junior colleges that were
mailing transcripts."
Despite the mailing changes,
students may still obtain an
official transcript at the
Registrar's Office. The first two
copies are free, with a one dollar
fee for each transcript request
thereafter.

OAA Honors
King's Birthday
By Robin Kindle
Staff Writer
O.A.A. paid tribute to Dr.
Martin Luther King at a special
assembly on his 46th birthday
last Wednesday.
A. Thomas White, from the
Division of Community Servi-
ces, spoke during the assembly.
White said that the black man
is still concerned about
freedom, but he is steadily
moving toward this ideal.
To illustrate the fact that
"things are changin'g," he said
that Mississippi, once known for
its racial predjudice, has the
largest number of black political
leaders of any state.
He spoke of Martin Luther
King as a "servant of the
people" and a "prophet of
peace".
Bill Brandon gave King's
inspirational speech ' -I Have A
Dream". In it King talked of his
vision of a future with justice,
righteousness, peace and bro-
therhood among men no matter
what their skin color.
Other member of O.A.A.
gave stirring speeches about
King and several musical
selections were performed.
A film entitled "New Mood"
was shown.

to you.
ARIES: You got along well with
others this week. Accept
invitations and opportunities to
meet people. Direct your
conversation toward other
people instead of yourself.
TAURUS: Now is not the time
to try decpetions. People see

not what you'd like people to
believe.

People in charge think you have
potential and they are right.
Take advantage of opportuni-

SAGITTARIUS: Tlie memory of
a stupid thing you did some time
ago returns to haunt you. The
only remedy is to do something
smart to counteract it. Don't let
thoughtless remarks make
you anxious.
CAPRICORN: Money keeps
sliding through your fingers
your efforts to economize seem
fruitless. Don't give up things

Yes, Amnesty
Pompous County Commissiners have decided that they "do
not seek" to participate in this country's amnesty program.
The wisdom of this decision is' shortsighted and as ridiculous
as not wanting to participate in the prison system.
Disagreement with President Ford's amnesty program is
totally, irrelevantto the case of Albert Garguilo, who was fired
after only four days on the job, solely because he is a draft
evader. The important point to remember is that the program
was designed to help heal the wounds of the Vietnam war.
Many people do not agree with the methods of this
program, but we should not penalize those seeking amnesty
by denying them access to the bridge that has been built to
bring them back into society.
Gargiulo was trying to follow the guidelines his government
established, he did not create the rules. The question is not,
does the penalty fit the crime, but does the man have the right
to serve the sentence he has been given.
The "nation has sought peace in Vietnam, the Middle East,
and throughout the world; we must also being to seek peace
with ourselves here at home. Those seeking amnesty should
be given the opportunities that have been prescribed by the
Federal Government. Palm Beach County cannot keep the
Vietnam war aiiye because the only casualties now, can be
Americans.
Need New Sf or f
When an organization wants to communicate with its
audience, members go to the people, A good way to start the
new year would be this same action by SG.
Senators can only represent the students if they know how
the students feel. Individual senators have asked students to
give them their ideas. But more suggestions and grievances
would probably be voiced if students could easily converse
with senators.
We suggest that SG follow the example set by Lucy Booth
organizers. Their booths have been set up in areas where
students seem to conjugate and their messages seem to get
across to many students.
SG could set up at least two booths in two
student-populated areas. These centers should be staffed by
senators each day from 9:30 to 2:30. This way senators would
be readily available to hear from and talk to students.
Evening hours would also be established for the booths.
Evening students also contribute to the activity fund.
Booths like these would allow students to find out who their
elected representatives are. They would provide a way for
senators to earn their $50 honorariums and prompt interest in
SG.
It's a new year, a new term and a new chance for better
communication between SG and JC students. These booths
could also provide that communication.
Venture Out
Venture out into the creative, the imaginative and the
interesting. The JC student will find all three and more in the
Beachcomber's new section entitled Venture.
Venture Editor Frank Smith hopes to "provide avenues of
expressions", through the section. It will feature artistic
impressions and investigative reporting, among other things.
Venture, created from the merger of the 'Comber's
Feature and Entertainment sections, is intended to "affect
the reader and not merely inform him," according to Frank.
Creative writers interested in doing in-depth stories are
welcome to join the staff. Our Venture is your venture into
what we hope will be a rewarding experience.

Editor:
On behalf of Planned
Parenthood of the Palm Beach
area, 1 want to express our
appreciation to Palm Beach
Junior College and in particular
to Miss Helen Diedrich,
nurse-counselor, for inviting our
organization to be responsible
for the Lucy Booth and to
present what Planned Parent-
hood believes in and works
through in its local area
program.
We are also very pleased that
in the student work programs
sponsored through various
departments within JC, we will
be working closely with some of
the student body.
There is such a tremendous
need in our world today for
improvement upon the quality
of life as over against the
quantity, which in some areas
has already reached and even
gone beyond the limits.
The Lucy Booth and the work
of Miss Diedrich are both
greatly appreciated.
John D.Riley
Agrees Wiih Gross
Editor:
In regard to the article which
appeared in the Dec. 16 issue of
the Beachcomber concerning
th'ecological preservation of the
north campus, I wish to say I am
heartily in accord with Mr.
Richard Gross of the Biology
faculty.
Several y^ars ago, but not
before the recent ecological
awakening, I suggested to Dr.
Manor that the main campus be
preserved as much as possible
in its native state. By that time
not very much had been left of
natural conditions except the
areas along the margins of the
adjacent bodies of water.
The request also contained a
plea for the establishment of an
environmental impact commit-
tee to review future alterations
in the immediate environment.
The only response to this was
a reply stating that much money
had been spent to landscape the
campus and it would not be
permitted to return to its former
"jungle" state. No action
wnatsoever was taken regarding
the environmental impact com-
mittee.
While I fully realize that final
authority for any action rests
with the president, I also realize
no one is omniscient. A group
of persons who are profession-
ally trained or who have had
some nature experience could
certainly furnish counsel for
administrative decisions.
While at the time it was my
idea that the committee be
largely made up of Biology staff
members because of their
training, I have subsequently
come to realize that there are a
number of students on the
campus who have had consider-
able outdoor experience and
whose opinions would be
valuable.
It is my suggestion to SG that
they consider this matter. I am
certain that the Biology staff
here is only too willing to
support any efforts which will
save as much of natural
environment as possible on any
of our campuses.

Foolish
Behavior
Editor:
The morning behavior of
some JC students seems quite
ironic, if not foolish and
Unnecessary.
These students wake up with
reluctance to the ' annoying
sound of an alarm-clock or
radio. With great unconcern,
they wait until the last possible
moment to arise from their
beds, trying to catch one more
bit of wanted and needed sleep.
Then, with the same
disconcern and carelessness,
they take as much time as
possible to pet scattered books
See "LETTER" pg 9

Unfair
Editor
We are students at JC who
have just had the misfortune of
completing a MS 110 course.
The Math department decided
to have a little experiment.
Without advance warning to
students making our their
schedules last August, they
instigated a no-lecture, study-
out-of-a-workbook type course
with the instructor closel;,
resembling a babysitter. This,
of course, is not a comment on
the instructor's ability, just one
on the job he or she was allowed
to do.
Granted, there are some
students who can, and prefer to
work at their own pace but we
feel the large majority of
students would learn more with
lectures accompanying their
studies. The Math Learning
Center already has a program
set up whereby you can work at
your own pace and test when
you are ready. At the very least,
the students should have been
given a choice.
We feel that this arbitrary
action taken by the Math
department was extremely
unfair to the student. For most
of us, this was a required
course, and a stepping stone to
the MS 111 course. We were
also scheduled a special time for
our final exam and were warned
against not attending. This
interfered with our working
hours.
The whole terra barkened
back to high school study hall
days. What is to stop other
departments from instituting
the same kind of program? A
depressing thought for these
college students.

Discrimination in employment runs rampant "from ^ the
largest to the smallest business," according to Theordore A.
Bukowski, district director of the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission.
He reports that his district which includes Florida and the
Canal Zone, alone handles approximately 1,600 violation
cases yearly. He sayd his agency usually finds cause in about
fifty per cent of the cases. The complaints are generally
equally divided between race and sex discrimination.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 insures
anti-discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion,
national origin or sex. Hand in hand with the formation of the
Act W3s the establishment of the Equal Employment
Opportunities Commission.
The commission's job was to set up guidehnes for voluntary
compliance with this Act. It serves as a reporting agency,
receiving forms from every company with employees over 100
and outlining the number of minorities utilized in each of nine
job categories, from officers and managers through laborers.
Affirmative action plans have worked relatively well where
Negroes, Orientals, Spanish-speaking Americans and
American Indians are concerned. Women, however, haven't
fairSd as well in the quota system. They still remained in the
clerical and laborer categories as opposed to the maiiagerial
jobs that were opened up to the other minorities.
In 1973 Revised Order No. 4 was put out by the Department
of Labor. It states, among other things, that all government
contractors and subcontractors hire without regard to sex,
that employers who recruit must do so without regard to the
sex of an individual, and that there will be no distinction
based upon sex in employment and both sexes should have
equal acess to all training programs and affirmative action
programs.
This order has definitely made some difference in hiring
practices. Unfortunately, as stated by Mr. Bukowski, there
are still too many complaints of discrimination, and an untold
number of discriminatory practices going unreported.
If any student feels that she or he has been biasly treated,
get in touch with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission and the commission will investigate the validity
of your complaint. The only way to stop these practices, is to
report them.

King Remembered
By Regina Bryant
On Jan. 15, 1975, the members
of OAA sponsored a very
profocative and inspirational
program as a tribute to the 46th
birthday of Dr. Martin Luther
King.
If you were there you would
have enjoyed several selections
taken from the annuals of Negro
spirituals, sung by a ' few
Pacesetters.
Songs such as "Previous
Lord", "Every time I Feel The
Spirit", "How Shall I Rise,"
were also sung by individual
OAA members. The lyrics of
these spirituals really set the
harmony for the occasions from
the beginning to the end as the
entire audience joined in with
hand-clapping and feet-patting.
OAA invited Mr. A. Thomas
White, who is affiliated with the
Division of Community Servi-
ces. White has served the
public in many capacities. He
has been a drug abuse

■ When we think of Dr. King
we consider him a prophet of
peace, a servant of people. Not
only was Dr. King interested in
the advancement of black
people but he sought brother-
hood of all colors, nationalities
and creed. He said that racial
crisis is a world crisis.
In 1958 King urged Ameri-
cans not to be satisfied until
justice rolled like a river and
righteousness like a mighty
stream. Then again in 1967,
reality showed school segregat-
ion still a problem and equal
employment as a distant dream.
Guest
Column
Today we must ask ourselves,
"what is our future direction?"
Statistics show Mississippi as
having the largest number of
black political personnel.
However, total integration in
Boston is not a reality. Where
are we headed?
As members of a great
society, American must realize
that no man is an island, each
man's grief is grief to every
man. We need each other.
Each man is a brother.
It is necessary to realize that
there are many enemies
treading on the boundaries of
our country who would love to
see America divided because of
its resources. Do what you can
while you can because you are
not here forever. King spoke
while he could speak, marched
while he could march. What can
you do?
As a result of the many trials
and tribulations King encoun-
tered during his crusade, he
knew that one day mankind
would take his very life.
Nevertheless, he never deserted
his cause.
Yet, in the heart of King
dwelled a love so strong that he
. said, "If someone says
something about me, let it be
that 1 tried to help someone."
In other words, says that he
believed in non-violence as a
measure to the settlement of
injustice not violence which
destroys life.
The philosophies of King
teach us to be passive when it
comes to drawing a physical
sword but rather carry a
spiritual sword of love even
though we must express our
protest through noncooperation
or boycotts to awaken a sense of
moral shame in the opponent.
As White pointed out in his
speech to OAA, poorness does
not have a color. It is a common
factor that can capture any
human. The hope of a better
tomorrow lies in the hands of
our young Americans. They are
the ones who must carry on
those ideals of peace that men
like King lived and died for.
Americans must, through the
power of understanding and the
willingness of heart, apply first
aid to those negative principles
which have stagnated our
growth as an American
brotherhood.
And with total unity of spirit,
we must drive toward a better
day. Let freedom ring from
every hillside as we bring into
reality the collective dream and
vision of many forefathers of
America.

Prospects And Perspectives
By Frank Smith
Venture Editor
With an eye towards creative,
moving, and effective exper-
iences "VENTURE" begins.
Included in this section will be
graphics, artwork, and photo-
graphs which we feel are
emotive, along with articles of
interest, poetry, humor, and
pathos.
The center of interest for this
section will be people, their
endeavors, inter-reactions,
fellings, works, and express-
ions.
It is, for me, an exciting
undertaking.
Freedom of expression, free
speech, a free press, are all
rights guaranteed to us by the
constitution. This section will
flow with the freedom of the
artist.
Speaking, feelmg, seeing,
enjoying, enduring, these are
human traits. Living, loving,
wanting, learning, and sharing,
are all human enterprises. All
are human ventures.
Man ventures to act, and to
understand, thus this section's
title. It's ambitions to stirve to
make a brainchild grow, but I
am convinced that growth in
understanding is a sublime
achievement.
"VENTURE" is here to
reveal life and revel in living.
Whaf Abouf Food Stamps
By DEBBIE THOMPSON
Staff Writer
Spiraling inflation and rising food costs
have led us all to tightening our belts, but now
that we are down to the last notch, let's take a
realistic look at the situation.
Many of you, including married couples,
singles, and roommates, are saying to
yourself, "There's got to be a better way."
Well, according to Mrs. G. W. James, Region
Administrator for the Florida Food Stamp
Program, there is.
The program, she explains, "was created
by the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) in 1964, and has since
then spread across the United States and
Puerto Rico, aiding over 8,000 families in
Palm Beach County alone."
Under the direction of the Division of
Famikly Services, the USDA and the state
legislatures share the expense of the program.
At first, the thought of applying for food
stamps seems appalling and offensive to most
people, however, it's not as awkward as you'd
think.
The reactions I received upon visiting the
Family Services branch office in West Palm
Beach were not what I had expected. The
receptionist did not look at me condemningly
but was pleasant when I inquired about the
food stamp program.
Some of the first questions people ask are
"Who is eligible?" "How much are they
worth?", and "Where do I apply?"
According to Mrs. James, a friendly, and
personable administrator who seems tryly
interested and concerned about the program,
the applicant must live in the county where
applying, have cooking facilities, not exceed
the income or resource standards, and meet
the work registration requirement.
"The value of the stamps depends on the
household size," she went on, "and their cost
depends on the household's net income."
"The monthly net income is cash from any
source, and resources are such things as
savings accounts, U.S. Savings Bonds,
cash-on-hand, and property. The maximum
allowance is $1500, or $3000 when there is a
household of two or more persons, and one
members if over 60 years of age."
Applications can be obtained at the food
stamp offices at 310 Okeechobee Road, Delray
Beach, or Belle Glade. All applicants are
carefully screened and interviewed by
appointment and usually receive an
immediate decision, provided they bring the
needed information.
"When applying for food stamps," Mrs.
James remarked, "make sure to bring current
verification of expenses such as rent, utilities
bills, insurance, medical expenses, child care
and alimony payments."
"Also,*; she elaborated, "we must have
proof of income, including check stubs, bank
statements, Social Security, pensions and VA
benefits.
Standards for participation in the Food.
Stamp Program are the same for everyone
without regard to race, color, religious creed,
national origin or political beliefs.
Out of the 1101 applications reviewed in
November, only 54 were rejected.
Countywide, 8,235 households are receivmg
aid from the program.
For example, a person with an adjusted
income (gross income after deductions) of
$194 would be eligible for up to $46 m food
stamps. If his income exceeds the specified
amount, maJdng hime eligible for only $36
worth of stamps, he must pay the difference
before the stamps are issued to him.
Illustrated by Frank Smith
to another person, buy illegal , items with .
them, or ask- grocers to accept food stamps as
payment for old grocery bills."
When asked about the problem of robbery
and fraudulent use of the stamps, she said the
problem as being hard to evaluate, but noted
the stamps are transported in armored trucks,
and occasionally a grocer selling illegal items
to stamp-holders is reported.
In 1973, 12.3 million food stamps were
printed by the Treasure Department in
denominations of fifty-cent, one, two and five
dollars, good as cash in over 180,000 food
stores. ^
Because they are as good as money, food
stamps are widely sought for a variety of
criminal activities by recipients, government
employees, and supermarkets.
In 1970, at the height of its problems,
$876,000 in stamps were stolen through
burglary or armed robbery. Since that time,
though, officials have tightened their
procedures for handling stamps. They are
now kept in locked safes and federal
regulations also require strict accounting
procedures and independent reviews to make
misuse more difficult.
Mrs. James asks that those coming to
collect their stamps should not all rush in at
the beginning of each month, "by the 15th
there is little, if any wait at all."
Adthough admitting the value of the stamps
are not in keeping with the rising food costs,
Mrs. James has cited the Food Stamp
program as a helpful success.
"I think it will be around for quite some
.time," she concluded.
"The USDA has estimated that it costs at
least. $46 to provide a nutritional diet for one
person for one month," Mrs. James
explained. "Under this system, you know the
person is getting the food he needs, because if
only $35 in food stamps were released how
would we know if he was spending the
additional ten dollars on nutritional food?"
She pointed out the stamps can only be used
for edible commodities, therefore, you cannot
purchase alcholoic beverages, dog food, or
cleaning supplies with them.
"This way, we can make sure the people
with lower incomes have more buying
power." Mrs. James stated. "People
receiving stamps must never sell or give them

Modern Math
Con Be Fun
A large group of Palm Beach
Junior College students have
discovered that studying math
isn't as difficult as they once
thought.
At the Math Learning Center
at PBJC, students are offered a
combination of up-to-the-minute
math learning equipment,
self-instructional programmed
material, and individualized
attention, and have discovered
that math can be fun.
Jim Miller West Palm Beach
sophomore who took Math 101
expresses his opinion of the
Center;
"The instructors really care
how well their students do, and
they take the time to talk over
problems and try to help," he
said.
"And if a student plans to go
on to an upper level college or
university, the instructors'
counseling is very helpful," he
added.
The Math Learning Center,
established at PBJC in the
Winter Term of 1969, has
already served 4,000 students,
according to Richard Travis,
assistant chairman, Math De-
partment, who directs the
Center.
"We cover, a broad spectrum
from the simplest arithmetic
through Trigonometry," Travis
said.
MATH LEARNING CENTER • Palm Beach Junior College students are shown takhig a test in the
PBJC Math Learning Center where stadents ace offered a combination of ap-to-thermlnnte math
learning equipment, self-instructional programmed material and individoalijied attention, and
have found math can be fmi.
With the aid of overhead
projectors,, film strips, tape
recorders, movie projectors,
electronic calculators and mini-
computers, 286 students took a
wide range of courses during
the Fall Term.
Of these, 40 transferred from
conventional math courses to
the Learning Center and 150
additional students -volunteers
not taking courses for credit -
used the facilities in one way or
another, Travis pointed out.
The Math Learning Center is
open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m .
Monday through Friday and
from 6:30 - 10 p.m. Monday
through Thursday, evening.
The success of the
Learning Center is due in great
part to its flexibility in meeting
the needs of individual
students, and the effort and
interest of the instructors
involved.
Are Your Doodles Revealing?
By John Auchterlonie
Staff Writer
Examine your notebook
carefully. Full of drawings, and
meaningless scribble, right?
Now really look at them. Are
they pictures, or characters,
circles, or boxes, colored or
blank, or are they patterned or
repetitive? Now, if you haven't
guessed what I'm leading up to,
doodles are forms of unconsc-
ious expression.
,^-
Dr. Werner Wolff, professor
of Psychology at Bard College,
defines doodles as "diagrams of
the unconscious" graphic ex-
pressions that symbolize certain
association governing the
thoughts of doodlers.
Nevertheless, whether you
believe doodling has a psycho-
logical meaning or not, chances
are we all have doodled at one
time or the other. Heaven
knows, as one fellow student
told me, "after that last class I
never knew that I was so
artistically inclined."
Not being an excessive
doodler myself, I never realized
how many people doodle until I
made the grim mistake of
staring at everyone's notebook
and the papers of students
writing in class, while the
teacher was lecturing. Gasp, 1
was amazed to see a large
percent of people doodling.
. There are many different
categories for doodling. The
most prevalent that I have
observed are elaborate designs
and patterns. Generally the
equal use of angular and curved
shapes indicate a balanced
personality; coordinated black
and white areas are evidence of
administrative ability; Essen-
tially curved designs reveal an
outgoing warm imaginative and
a degree of artistic ability.
1 noticed the Venture page
editor Frank Smith madly
doodles fantastic designs and
figures in his spare time and
generally fits these traits.
Patterns are classified by the
consistency and type of doodle.
Gracefully drawn circles show
neatness, correctiveness , pre-
cision and balance. The most
convincing doodle I have seen
yet is the one from our editorial
assistant Jan Tuckwood who
JlJViruvVX>'nn''\yu,
draws circles, lines and
triangles in. a neat totempole-
like margin down the side of her
notebook as shown in the
division of this page.
.# 5t
Boxes can suggest practical-
ity, circles tend to show a warm,
gentle, affectionate doodler.
The types of circles vary from
slanted to scribbled and suggest
direction and serve as a degree
ranging from extroverted to
introverted feelings, depending
on the harshness of the lines. To
me, circles all over my notebook
usually indicate when my pen
has run out of ink during an
English composition. The heavy
' marks indicate a frustrated
attempt to get my pen working
again during an English final
exam.
Generally we tend to doodle
our own sex. This is accounted
for an unconscious self-portrait
of ourselves as we feel at the
time. Faces and figures
generally express our attitude
towards ourselves and the
opposite sex. Parts of the body
show a creative tendency, most
frequent of these are eyes and
mouths.
Trees, houses and ships are
the most psychologically reveal-
ing of doodles depending on
whether you draw little windows
on your house, a big tree or a
luxury liner as opposed to a
sailboat. Personally, I used to
get into medium size bushy'
trees, log cabins and the Nina,
Pinta"and Santa Maria. On
occasions, though, I did dta.v/
the Titanic. Simply because I
only had to draw half a ship.
Now here comes interesting
aspect of doodling. The
Beachcomber is holding a
doodles contest with the best
doodle being featured every
week. A winning doodle will be
selected each month and from
those, "doodle of the winter
term" will be chosen. The prize
for the winning doodler will be a
"T" shirt proclaiming his or her
appropriate title or a five dollar
art scholarship to the school of
your choice.
To bring in a doodle just
sneak up on an unsuspecting
doodler and get that doodle.
The doodle finder will be the
one who receives the award.
Name of doodler is not
necessary but would be
appreciated. The best way to
find a doodler is in those good
old one-and-a-half hour lecture
class. Simply look for someone
writing when no^'one else is
taking notes. Or if you just
happen to notice a drawing on
someone's notebook. All
submitted material will be
considered.
Simply dr6p by the Beach-
comber office and give your
name and doodle to any member
of the paper. Anyone is eligible.
Happy Doodling.

"The Man with the Golden

Bond films once contained. In
I he past, Bond could be craftv
and mischievous without be-
coming silly. And perhaps this
is due to the loss of the real
Bond himself, Sean Connery.
Connery took with him all forms
fo conviction and suave, leaving
ihc new Bond, Roger Mnore,
with a few faults.
In the film. Bond is pursuing
an assassin, Scaramanga, who
gets paid 'S] million for the use

because of its beauty. The plot
holds all of the same procedures

murders, and the women. " For
with all his changes. Bond
hasn't lost the desire for a
beautiful female.
Perhaps it is time for James

Student Housing --
A Necessity?
By BECKY MORSE
Staff Writer
Are dormitories practical for JC? Is there a need for
dormitories? Can the funds be obtained and is the land
available?
The practicality of dorms on'our campus could be debated
forever. With each term the practicality seems more obvious
and most definite as the school grows in size, The practicality
depends not only on the student but also the school.
Financially, could dormitories be furnished to fit the
studnets needs as living quarters condusive to comfort and
good study habits at cheaper rates than area apartments?
Would student prefer the dormitories over their own
apartments? What restriction enter in? Would there be
curfew and rooming and activity restrictions? These are just a
few of the possible limitations of dorm living. Would the
students accept or reject such regulations?
At some colleges meals are furnished as part of the
dormitory fee, but could this by possible and would the
students want to eat at designated times? Another possibility
would be small kitchenettes within each room to be used for
the preparation of personal meals, yet the cost of supplying
each room with the facilities could be outrageous.
The first practical problem that arises froni the school's
point of view might be whether or not the dormitories would
be financially worthwhile; or would maintenance and lack of
interest cause financial loss?
The question of demand is another factor. Does JC have
enough students who are presently living in apartments to
make the construction of a dormitory reasonable? This is a
vague possibility since JC is realtively a community college
with the majority of students commuting daily. Perhaps
though, if JC had living quarters it might appeal to more
students who strayed away because they were afraid housing
would be either hard to find or too expensive.
The land is available but funds for construction would be
hard to get, especially with the recent budget cuts.
Perhaps building rental apartments would be another route
to providing college living quarters. That is building
apartment on campus, and renting them to college students
just as independant apartment owners would do. The
students would be free of additional restrictions others thaii
those between landlord and tenant. This would eliminate the
normal dormitory curbs which many students so fiercly object
to and also would be advantageous to the students to be
located right on campus.
Although the outlook presently for college housing is dim,
serious consideration should be taken if the college is to
satisfy the needs of its students. ^

Teaching With A Floir - A Student Stimulus
BY FRANK SMITH
\ Venture Editor
Tfie teachers make the
course! A well known fact. But
what is it that a teacher does
that makes him such a good
techer? An answer may be
found by examining what the
different educators try to do
within the limits of their subject
to interest the students.
Mr. Watson B. Duncan III,
considered by maiiy an excellent
teacher, demonstrates this idea.
One point is that he impresses
on his own students is that his
course delves on "The best
thoughts of the best minds in
the world."
Mr. Duncan teaches Enlgish
Literature and believes within
his course content there is a
poem or a literary work thai will
specifically fit each pf his
students. This work that will fit
the individual, will become
"his" or "hers" because of the
personal effect it has on them.
Certainly if each student is
moved by something in the
course, they will praise the
teacher for bringing it to their
attention.
Mr. Edwin V. Pugh is a Social
Science teacher on our campus
who has been complimented by
many of the students he has
had, for his teaching methods.
What is it he does that
contributes to his success?
"I try to let the students work
through their majors," says Mr.
Pugh. " Almost every field of
study has a historical precedent.
Looking at history through the
students majors, keeps them
interested and involved."
Music students are encourag-
ed to do papers relating music to
historical periods or events.
Literary students can do reports
centering around history's
involvement with the writings of
the time.
Mr. Pugh also believes that
well known names in history are
more than merely names and
tries to put these "names"
across as people. This makes
them more real and helps the
students identify with them.
It begins to become apparent
that the better classes are those
that are presented with, a
consideration of the students
mterests.
In the Basic Studies courses it
is of primary importance that
each individual student be
allowed to work at his own level.
Foreign students, taking
English as a second language all
have a different level of
competency in English usage.
Mrs. Helen B. Darcey of the
basic studies department,
(another teacher, singled out as
"excellent") believes that the
most important thing about her
classes is the individual
consideration that it demands.
She also believes that the
reading skills her students ate
learning will effect them
throughout their lives and tries
to impress their belief upon
them.
The consistent factor common
within each of these courses,
and common to each of these
teachers is that the learning is
made to occur in such a way that
it personally affects a students.

JC 84-82
Burns Sizzles
In Overtime
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
Sparked by the sizzling shots
of Don Burns, who was benched
during regulation for not
shooting enough, the Pacers
dropped Broward Central 84-82
in overtime Wednesday night.
Burns took control of the
Pacers' offense in the five
minute overtime, scoring all five
field goals. The only other

Two of the most unsportsman-like basketball games took
place in the JC gym earlier this month. The most recent was
Jan. 6, against Atlantic, N.J. Community College.
"The game got completely out of hand. It was all uncalled
for."
Those were the angered words of Dr. Howard Reynolds,
PBJC athletic director, after the sloppily played game.
The Buccaneers, on a five game losing streak, created an
official's nightmare. Both clubs were physically battling
under the boards the entire night. After approximately 16
minutes of abuse, the fire ignited.
Richard Nelson or Victor Dubose of PBJC, threw a punch at
Atlantic CC players while retreating down court. Naturally as .
in FJCC games I have seen, both benches cleared.
Adding the kindle was the Buccaneers' scorekeeper,
running out from the official scorers' table with his chair in
hand, ready to let it fly. Consequently, for some unknown
reason, Dubose was tossed out of the ballgame.
Reflecting back on the incident and the entire season,
Reynolds said, "I don't like the way it is headed down here.
The game progressing as it is will explode in another two
years.
"FJCC basketball has no finese, it's all muscle."
Reynolds proposed a partial solution to the problem to Andy
Andrews, Athletic Director at Broward North.
"Andrews, who is in charge of the officials, must insist that
those officials keep the coaches on the bench."
Pacers coach Bob Wright commented, "If it is a decision
call by the official, I would voice my opinion and sit down,
"If the officials interpret the rules incorrectly, then it is my
duty to protest."
Reynolds retorted, "Though the officials are not good, I do
feel they are fair."
An attitude change is needed among the coaches also. "It
is a reflection of the coaching. If the coach, when he's 15
points ahead, (carries on like that naturally the kids will do
the same," said Reynolds.
Either the FJCC officials keep the game under control or
another Ohio State-Minnesota melee will soon erupt.
20 feet by Mike Gibbs to put the
Pacers ahead at half, 36-32.
JC erupted for 15 points in
their first ten possessions in the
second half. Aggressive play by
Mike Gibbs and Victor Dubose
led to easy buckets by Ron
Cunningham and William Hall
to up the Pacers' lead to 59-48
with 9:58 to go in the game.
A Vic Thomas jumper cut the
lead to 59-54, and Charlie
.Burrows put the Seahorses
ahead, 60-59, seconds later.
The Pacers were now in a
battle, and as Wright said later,
"We had to win."
Sam Fields of Broward
Central canned a jumper to knot
the score at 72-72 with 32
seconds left. JC's Gibbs missed
the initial free throw of a
one-and-one after which the
Seahorses, appearing disorgan-
ized could not get off a clean
shot in the final seconds.
Burns' shooting then led the
Pacers to their ninth victory in 13
encounters, and a 2-1 Division
IV record pending the outcome
of the Sat., Jan. 18 game
against Miami-Dade South.
Hall led the Pacers with 19
points with Poyastro cashing in
15 and Burns, 12. Thomas led
Broward Central with 19.
"It was not as important of a
win for us, said Wright, "as a
loss for them. It cuts their
momentum."

Tryouts were held for the
women's varsity tennis team
Jan. 7 - Jan. 10. Ten girls tried
out for the team, according to

In the first week, an
elimination tournament was
held to establish positions on

in regard to the team.'s
possibilities of winning the state
junior college championship.
Last year the team finished
third in the state behind
Marymount and Broward -Cen-
tral and had an overall record of
7-3 for the year. This year
Marymount has been promoted
to a senior division college
which means they won't be
competing in the same
tournament as JC.
Another reason for Quisen-
berry's optimism is the return of
Cindy Kitchell as well as last
years No. 1 player, Robin
Langridge.
Other members of the team
include Marina Polman Tvin,

Coaches Predict Eight
BY BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
Three coaches - Bob Stinnett of
Broward North, Chip Boes of
Miami-Dade Downtown, and JC'sBob
Wright - each gave the same answer
when asked recently which teams
should be favored to win Florida's
Division IV basketball race: all eight
of the divisions' teams.
Additionally, rather than just state
that all eight teams were tough, each
coach listed the names of each team.
In essence,' to get a true indication of
JC's Division IV chances we might
have to wait until the final game of the
season.
In fact, that's exactly , what
happened last year as the Pacers
outlasted two teams in a playoff for
second place and a spot in the state
playoffs, where JC was runner-up to
state champ and eventual national
second place team, Chipola.
Stinnett's Broward North Trotters
(20-6 last season) lost in the first round
of the state tourney to Chipola, but
with three starters returning, they
must be considered a leading prospect
to return as a state-tourney contender.
"We had three fireshmen and two
sophomores who had never been to a
state tournament of any kind, so we
were a little nervous last year,"
comments the youngish Stinnett, now
in his third year as Trotter coach.
Predictably, Stinnett sees a
two-three-or four-way tie for first
place in Division IV. "Our division
gets tougher every year," explains
Stinnett. "It's really hard to say what
the key to winning will be, you're
going to need a little luck and stay
away from bad breaks.
"Another key is keeping kids
eligible so they don't flunk out - and
injuries - you can't have injuries."
JC Athletic Director Dr. Howard
Reynolds can certainly sympathize
with Stinnett's comments on grades.
The Pacers were without center
William Hall until January, and
received a scare when high scormg
guard Donald Burns was nearly
declared ineligible for the final half of
the season.
As of this writing, JC and Broward
North, both recognized as power-
houses in the division, had each
recorded a home win against the
other. Ironically, while the Pacers
blew Broward out of JC's gym, the
Trotter's one-point win in the division
opener was the one that counts in the
standings.
Coaches make no bones about what
the goal of every Florida junior college
is: a trip to Hutchinson, Kansas, for
the national junior college tourna-
ment.
"Of course all of our kids feel we
can do it. . .bet we still have to go out
and prove it," explains Stinnett.
As he looks forward to a mid-season
final regular game with the Pacers,
Stinnett is impressed with Burns, Bill
Brandon, Gus Poyastro, and Victor
Dubose of JC. But he admits, "You
can't lose a player like (graduated
ail-American Keigh) Highsmith and
not be hurt."
Pacers Coach Bob Wright missed
Highsmith early in the season, as
freshmen guards Mike Gibbs and Ron
Cunninghair slowly gave momentum
to the Pacer offense. The loss of
Highsmith, as Wright continually
mentioned,, was seen most in the
category of leadership.
However, as of this writing, a
general team confidence was growing
due to more forceful rebounding and a
stronger bench, which allows for more
substitution and rested. players.
The Pacers' strongest effort to
dal;e, . in a recent encounter with Dade
Downtown, was against a team
labeled by its coach as "much
stronger than last year,"
The coach in question, Dade
Downtown's Chip Boes, expressed
different ideas on what might be the
key to winning the division. "A team
can't lose any games at home,"
relates Boes, "and must play at least
.500 on the road.

As ol January 25, the JC men's tennis team will begin their 1975
season. \nd Coach Harris McGirt feels "quite good" about it.
FLclmg that fall practice had been very advantagious, McGirt
sdid "There was a lot of team emphasis, even though it is an
nidnidudl sport." He anticipates a competitive season, with Miami
Dade Noith and South, and Edison Community College being
|icil!,ips the toughtest.
Ml {Jut has no challoenge matches, the ladder is picked prior to
each match. "We will have a lot of competition, all up and down the
hue ihis year," he says. "We are extremely pleased to have nine
£?ood phuers out for the team."
Of ilie nine there are only two returning players because of
i^iaduaiion. Roberto Rizo, a Venezuelan player, was No. 4 plus
Ml SiatL for last year's team. Also returning is Gary Ray, No. 6 last
vcai vith a 13-2 record.
.Siaitine this year is Norman Russell, from Kingston, Jamaica;
Ron Dicus, West Palm Beach; John McCarley, Newark, Del; Mickey
Nolcn, lupiter; Gary McBride, West Palm Beach; Mike Bachrach,
Wcsi Palm Beach and Charles Wadlington, Lake Worth.
Although last year's team was undefeated, McGirt doesn't expect
to be asjjn, nor does he really want to be. He believes that a team
docs not have to be undefeated to be ranked at the top.
During his ten years at JC, though, he has had 114 wins and 39
losses But, more important to McGirt is that in those ten years, 83
l)eic(.ni of his boys have gone on to higher institutions. Because of
this he sa/s, "I am a teacher first and a coach second."
Pacer Nine Chalks
Up First Win Of Season
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
"You feel so much better when you
win," commented a joyous Dusty
Rhodes after his Pacer nine
hand-cuffed the Ft. Lauderdale
Baseball school on just two hits,
enroute to a 7-3 victory Thursday
afternoon.
Thursday's game was a complete
turn around by the Pacers' pitchuig
staff. OnFriday, Jan. 10 in Pompano
Beach, they allowed 11 runs on 11 hits
by the same Philadelphia Phillies
funded school.
The four and five hitters, Jerry
Walters and Tom McCollough
respectively, went 3 for 4 to lead the
14 hit attack Thuyrsday.
JC's nine jumped on the Phillies'
pitching staff early in the first inning
as Glenn Rogers led off with a walk
and went to third on Skip Walker's hit
and run. Walters cracked a 2-run
single up the middle to put the Pacers
ahead to stay.
That inning saw JC pick up four
runs on four hits. They also picked up
one run in each of the second, third
and sixth innings.
Eddie Fisher, who came in and
relieved Ed Boyle in the fourth, picked
up the victory. The Facers now are 1-1
on the year pending results of Friday
night's game again with the Ft.
Lauderdale Baseball School.
- "I know we can hit, all I'm worried
about is if our pitching holds up,"
commented Rhodes.
This afternoon, Jan. 20, Fred
Ferrai's Phillies will make their
second appearance on the JC field.
The first pitch will be thrown at 3 p.m.

Golf, Classroom
Sim Talented
By Pete Clausen
Staff Writer
"Golf is only a game," says
Mike Sim as he misses a putt on
the 18th green and doses a
match. "But, it's nice to win."
Mike wins his share of golf
matches. He was the No. 1 man
on the JC golf team with a 75
average during the fall term.
His smooth swing and consis-
tent play could help the team to .
a state championship in May.
Mike is not only brilliant on
the golf course but in the
classroom as well. He carries a
3.5 average and won a scholastic
scholarship from the Exchange
Club at Forest Hill High School.
He will receive a 3goIf
scholarship for the upcoming
winter term.
Mike started playing golf
when he was seven years old but
did not really get inierested in it
until he played on the Conniston
Junior High team in the ninth'
grade.
He then played on the Forest
Hill High' team for three years
and received the most valuable
player award in his senior year.
He also added to his competitive
experience by playing in, and
winning, various junior golf
events.
Aside from hitting the ball
long and straight, there is
another reason that Mike scores
so well on the golf course.
"He is the best putter out
here," explains Pat Kelly,
another team member.
"I make my share," adds
Mike, "There's no use hitting a
putt if you're not trying to sink
it."
Sim is majoring in Math, but
he may change to Business
when he transfers at the end of
the winter terra. He hopes to
transfer somewhere in Florida
so he can play golf all year.
So if the putts drop and the
other team members play well,
Mike could very well be adding
state and national junior college
team trophies to his collection.
Then, NCAA competition, and
maybe even the pro tour.
Mike Sim who combines
his talents in the
classroom as well as the
golf course is slated to
lead the Pacers in '75.

Satellite Planning Continues
By WINNIE KNIGHTON
Staff Writer
JC Satellite Centers located at Belle Glade, Palm
Beach Gardens and Florida Atlantic University have
been growing rapidly and are filled to capacity and
beyond.
FAU Center is at present in best condition because
their students are permitted use of Henderson School
facilities that suffice for a while.
For a long time JC's Board of Trustees has been
making necessary preparations for permanent quarters
for the two other plants. JC's North Center is using
facilities at Palm Beach Gardens High School, which is
literally overcrowded.
Land has been purchased for apermanent North
Center site that faces PGA Boulevard west of AlA and
extends south to Money Road. According to Fred
Holling, assistant evening coordinator, this is only the
first step toward the final goal. -
The land for the Belle Glade Center was recently
secured through a swap of state-owned property for a
40-acre tract located in- the southwest center of Belle
Glade.
The Glades Center, which is located about 40 miles
west of the main campus, was opened in August, 1972,
offering day and evening classes. At present there are
six locations for the 55 credit courses being taught.
Dr. Cecil Conley has been executive dean there since
inception and has. always been optimistic about its
future. He state, "It will be good to get all the classes
together."
After securing the two sites, the board laboriously
compiled volumes for data for use by planners

UF Curtails Enrollment
f.v.v.v.%".%y

By ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Florida commiinity college
graduates are no longer
guaranteed admission into their
chosen program at the Univer-
sity of ' Florida because of
enrollment limits beginning
next fall.
Presidents of Florida's nine
state universities approved the
basics of enrollment limits last
November. UF was the only
state university with an
enrollment near the limit which
was proposed.
The Board of Regents will
discuss limiting enrollment at
all state universities in the next
few months.
The deans of UF's colleges
will regulate upper division
programs by limiting the
number of community college
transfer students admitted
while university college grad-
uates will be allowed to continue
in the program of their choice.
All community college grad-
uates are guaranteed admission
to a state university through an
articulation agreement between
community colleges and state
universities.
Since transfer students could
be admitted to similar programs
at other universities, UF deans
decided they could be turned
away from capped UF colleges
without violating the agree-
ment.
Paul J. Glynn, JC's Dean of
Student Personnel, advises the
JC student to be "the best
academic performer".
He emphasized that students;
should know what college th^y ,
plan to attend and the courses
that college requires for their
specific major. It is also very
important that students decide
what their m^or will be.
"As far as we're concerned,
transfer students should have
the same status as lower
division university students,"
Glynn said. "For every JC
student thajt's turned down,
we'll ask why.''
Glynn doesn't believe a
university will turn down a
transfer student completely, but
he may have difficulty getting
into the program of his choice.

Within a very short while students
will be fortunate enough to have a
new highway to commute to and
from classes at JC.
According to 1-95 Project Engineer
Jim Bitontl, in charge of the Forest
Hill Office, Department of Transpor-
tation, the Belvedere exit will be
open the last of February and other
exits will near completion during the
next eighteen months. This will
enable students to spend much less
time in traveling.
Near to the campus will be a
bridge ovei Lake Worth Road which
will be 23 feet long. This is designed
to relieve some of present traffic
congestion near us.
When the final phase of the work
is done, exits will be located at Tenth
Avenue North, Forest Hill Boule-
vard, Southern Boulevard, Okee-
chobee Boulevard, Belvedere Road
and to the south at Sixth St. and
Lantana Road.
In the picture above is shown a
house that once bordered Forest Hill
and has given way to the

Graduating students living in the
area will be able to commute to FAU
or Miami University via 1-95 within
eighteen months.

Receive Caps
By LORI HILLEBRAND
Staff Writer
With a deep sense of achievement, the
students of Dental Health Services ireceived their
caps in the 1975 ceremony Sunday, January 19,
held in the JC Auditorium.
With long-stemmed roses, symbolizing the
perfection, beauty, purity, and love that they
strive for hi the dental service, 37 girls fi;om the
Dental Hygiene class and 32 from Dental
Assisting marched into the auditorium.
After a speech on the history of the 13-year-old
program, Mrs. Lee Weisenborn discussed thie
significance of the ceremony, explaining that
they had reached the "climax of the initial
neophyte stage" and have shown that they are
willing to accept the responsibilities of their
work.
As the two groups finished, they recited their
oaths. The hygiene students swore to "render
health service to those who seek my
ministrations", while the dental assisting firls
promised to be enthusiastic, generous,
respectful, and to "walk on the sunny side of the
street".
Dr. James O'Bannon then spoke to the
students, reminding them that they most work
toward something beyond success; they must
strive for excellence through their work.
The ceremony was important to the girls, for
many relatives came firom allparts of Florida to
watch. As one girl put it as she stood to walk to
the front, "We probably won't shake like this
again until we go to take our State Boards."

Let Them Smoke
High school students from Boca Raton are requesting that a,
pilot program be started in their school which would set up an
area on school grounds for the students to smoke
cigarettes.
When first approached with this idea, officials ruled
against the proposal. One of the reasons the opponents cited
is a Florida statute that forbids the sale of cigarettes to
minors.
it is safe to assume that the law forbidding sale of tobacco
products to minors is, as a rule, ignoed by society as are a
myriad of other unenforceable laws.
It is meaningless to forbid high school students permission
to smoke on campus because they are doing it anyway and
enjoying it more. Approving the request for a student
smoking area will bring the students out of the restrooms,
alleys and locker rooms and into the open.
Too much time is wasted by deans and instructors trying to
enforce babble gum regulations. There are more than
enough problems on the high school campuses [drugs, race
etc.] to keep school officials busy.
Of course, giving the students their own smoking area is
also going to take away the fun of some teachers who enjoy
going to the bathroom just to find smokers, but it is time for
our human resources to be directed at the more pressing
problems of education.
Faculty Venture
In an attempt to introduce another side of the instructors of
JC, the Beachcomber has launched a series of Faculty Guest
Columns. A different faculty member is approached each
week and asked to write a 300 to 500 word column on a subject
of their choice.
The Comber would like to encourage students to send In
suggestions for faculty members to appear in the guest
column section.
Our first column is written by Mrs. Sallie Taylor, a highly
respected instructor of both Logic and English. Claiming to
be a much better editor than writer, she nevertheless
accepted our request to lead off our new series.
The 'Comber sincerely hopes our readers will come to look
forward to the new Faculty Guest Column. Next week's
column will be written by Dr. Bottosto.
■Guest Faculty Column-
Thank You Missing
This is the first in a series of Guest Faculty
Columns. Sallie Taylor is an English and Logic
instructor, who Js highly respected by the JC
community.
During the Depression of the '30's, a young
man at work one day talked on the phone to the
head of the stock room. He finished the
conversation with ' 'thank you" and hung up. His
supervisor, who was standing nearby, upbraided
him sharply for using his work time to say "thank
you."
Shortly afterwards, the young ma'h quit his job
at a time when jobs were scarce and said
privately to his family and friends that he would
not work for a company that forbade common
courtesy between and among people.
Today, in many ofQces and businesses,
courtesy, if not discouraged, is not fostered. The
officers on our Palm Beach Junior College
campus are no exception.
There are offices, not all thank heavens, where
students are handled very cavalierly. Students
receive the abrupt "no", the shrugged shoulder,
the elevated eyebrows treatment. And they
complain about the treatment. They complain in
significant numbers, numbers so significant that
we all should pause to ponder a( that students are
human beings who for that reason alone deserve
to be treated^ well and b( that students are
taxpaying,' tuition'' customers, who influence
PBJC's image fHtlje community.
It is time for all of us to examine our manners
for what is termed just ordinary common
courtesy. Excellent manners would not only set
the example of courtesy but would reduce human
frustration.
All of us ' - instructors, secretaries and
administrators - should take the time to say
"please," "thank you," "I'm sorry," "I'm
glad," "Please let me see your print out,"
"thank you for coming In to take care of the btll,"
"I'm sorry that the section is closed," "I'm glad
that we could make the change for you."
And we should smile honestly when we talk to
students. Even the enforced regulation is easier
for the student to take if the person in charge is
pleasant and concerned.
Now I know that, even when undeviating
courtesy is the goal, all of us will be abrupt at
times. We get harried, hurried, and hamstrung.
I was, I regret to say, abrupt to three students
recently. They approached me at a time when I
was overdue leaving the campus getting to an
appointment elsewehere. I was in a hurry. And
the grievous part is that there is never any way to
counteract the effect of one discourteous
encounter.
And because there is no way to counteract the
less than good treatment that we should accord
one another, all of us should scrutinize our ideas
of courtesy and our attitudes about people that
lead, or not, to a warm and pleasant manner.
Especially should the front-line people who first
communicate with prospective and entering
students be courteous.
We can and should lubricate this learning
institution.

OT Forming Is Slow Deparfmenf Nof To Blame
iDITOR: I
EDITOR:
The occupational therapy (OT) students of JC are in the
process of forming a service club on campus. However, the
procedure in becoming a club has been very slow.
The OT supporters presented their constitution and
necessary forms to the Student Activity Corhmittee on Nov. 7,
1974, and at present, they have only beeni^proved by the
Student Committee and still must go to the Faculty Senate.
After two and a half months, very little action has been
taken. Also, the dab has not Iiad any support from the
Beachcomlwr, even though tlie newspaper was infonned
alMut the club in Novemlter.
Occupational therapy is a health related program, offered
on an AS and AA basis at JC. "Occupational therapy is the
art and science of dkecting man's response to selected
activity to promote and maintain health, to prevent disability,
to evaluate behavior and to treat or train patients with
physical or psychosocial dysfunction." (American
Occupational Therapy Association, 1968.)
OT relates to the patient's everyday life and provides the
link between hospitalization and return to the community.
The main purpose of the OT club is to provide community
services to health care facilities. The membership is open to
any registered student at JC. The Fall semester officers are:
Mary Kavanaugh, presidnt; Chris Willey, vice president;
Vicki PoUyea, secretary-treasurer; and Jan Majerick,
historian.
The next meeting of the club will be Wednesday, Jan. 27,
at 2:30 p.m. in the Student Activity Center (SAC). The main
business is the election of Winter semester officers. All
interested students are welcome to attend.

Editor:
This is in response to a letter
from J. Michele Nottet,
Matthew Sherman, Joseph L.
Mahan, L. G. Davis and Linda
Lybarger regarding their ex-
perience in an MS 110 class this
past semester.
It is true that the Mathema-
tics Department was condacting
an experiment, using several
different texts and several
different teacliing approaches.
However, none of these
approaches was designed to be
a no-lecture, 8tudy-out>of-a-
worifbook type course, with the
instructor available only to
answer questions.
The particular class in which
these' students were enrolled
was not even intended to be
experimental. They were
scheduled to be using the
standard MS 110 text book with
traditional lectures, the work-
book to be used only as
■supplemental material. How-
ever the instructor took it upon
himself to initiate the no-lec-'
ture, jielf-study method, against
the better judgment of some
others in the department who
felt that thie workbook was not
designed to be used in this
manner.
The only part of the
experiment that this class was to
be involved in was the
departmental examination. The
time for the exam was
scheduled through the Dean of.
Instruction, by the Registrar, as
is the entire exam schedule.
Students are expected to take all
of their exams at the scheduled
times. Special arrangements
were made for students to
whom it was a severe handicap
to attend at the scheduled hour.
I feel it necessary to defend
the department against the
criticisms made by these
students, since the methods
used were not instituted by the
department, but by the
individual instructor. The
experimental methods used in
other sections comprised an
attempt t6 identify .the best
materials and the best methods
of getting information to
students to adequately prepare
them for MS HI.
In defense of the histructoi
Involved, I would like to say that
some students did like the
individual approach because
they could go faster and not wait
for the rest of the class, or In
some cases, they could spend
more time on certain topics.
However, any system of
hidlvidualized tastruction puts
more responsibility on the
student to complete the
required work in the allotted
time, and some students are not
mature enough to handle this
responsibility.
I would suggest that, in the
future, students who are
unhappy with a particular
course discuss the problem first
with the instructor involved,
then with the chairperson of the
department involved, before
indicting an entire department
or the whole school for one
pers6n's actions.

Chairperson, Mathematics

■51 Percent-
Raise Consciousness
J. Michele Notter-
Do you think part of your problems stem from being a
woman rather than your personality? Do you want to make
close friends? Are you prone to analyzing society? Well,
consciousness-raising groups are being formed in this area.
Consciousness-raising (C.R.) is the root of the women's
movement, and has been in use since 1968. It is the process
of moving from a limited view of our situation to a broader
one. The group analyzes their experience as women and what
the male-supremist culture we live in has done to our thinking
and concept of "woman". C.R. re-evaluates the definition of
"woman", casting out stereotyped sex roles and destructive
behavior through group support.
C. R. is a small, 5-15 women, leaderless group which meets
for regular discussion. A topic for each session is chosen;
dating, how you were treated as a child because you were
female, your mother, your father, schooling, politics, religion,
self-hate, etc. After each individual has given her testimony,
each contributes a common theme she has noticed and
possible connections are explored. The final step is discussion
of possible action which would remedy the situatio
This method of searching out experiences, as women,
creates an almost instant bond of sisterhood even in very
diverse groups. It quickly settles the talk down to a level of
intimate sharing in which each member can experience
acceptance and empathy. Idology and rhetoric are bypassed.
Instead of fractionalism and argument, a sense of
appreciation for the commanality within diversity is reched.
Based on a new understanding that most of our
unhappiness as women arises &om our social and political
status, personal solutions come to be seen as inadequate.
Self-blaming and helplessness are minimized and a readiness
for changing our behavior occurs. From the small group
comes encouragement to take a new stand, even when It
involves unpleastness.
If you are interested in becoming a part of a C.R. group,
please contact Lee Shield at 588-1549. She is forming groups
right now. Lee is also willing for form male C.R. groups for
those who wish to analyze the sex-role sterotyping and
brainwashing that men have received by growing up in our
culture.

From page one
Coordinate planning with city, county and
state roads and traffic engineering authorities
will be necessary to establish criteria for
transportation facilities. More consideration
will be given to the handicapped students than
was shown In planning of main campus.
Under site development study, it is still not
known how much of the natural environment
will be preserved. Requirements for field
areas, games and sport facilities will have to
be determined.
When master plans are submitted to Board
of Trustees, an estimate of cost will be given.
Although there are already some monies on
hand for this purpose, nothing can be used
from the general funds. It is anticipated that
funds will be available to start construction in
about six months.
Additional funding is being sought by the
state in attempting to sell higher education
bonds. When bond sales are completed, our
share of the proceeds will be $1,800,000. This
will be totally separated from general funds
for use on these projects.

Every Senator Collects $50
By JOEL TANEN
News Editor
The SG Senate passed a bill
Thursday giving a $50 honorar-
ium to all senators who did not
receive one last term.
Unless SG President Tory S.
Buckley vetos the bill it will
immediately go into effect.
Buckley has one week before
presenting this decision to the
Senate.
The dates of the SG Special
Elections have been changed to
February 6th and 7th instead of
the 8th and 9th. When the
Senate changed the dates two
weeks ago Thursday, they
overlooked the fact that the 8th
and 9th are a Friday and
Saturday.
Secretary of Productions Tony
Banks asked the Executive
Board Tuesday to reconsider his
$6,000 proposal to put on a
musical concert.
The Executive Board refused
to proposal because it was too
much money, The board did
accept a $2,500 proposal.
The concert could fall through
if Banks can't get the date set.
The two bands lined up for the
concert are Judd and PFM.
No contracts have been
signed for the concert.
"Things are still up in the
air,'-' said SG Vice Pcesident
Dolor Ginchereau.
According to Chairman James
Boger of the Appointments
Committee, five people have
been approved to hold office as
senators. They wIU be sworn in
at the next senate meeting. '
President Buckley has re-
commended the following peo-
ple for the Judicial Board;
James Cleare - Chief Justice,
Ray Sapyta, Brian Straub,
Hilliary Swengel, Wayne Soldo,
Ed Kiddle, and Larry Gore.
These recommendations must
be voted on by both the
Executive Board and the senate.
The senate passed a reolution
of "inquiry on the legality of
having beer and wine on a
community college campus at
social fiinctions, after class
functions."
A recent SG questionnaire
showed the m^orlty of JC
students want beer and wine on
campns.
The reolution, introduced by
Senator Rob Abrams, passed
without debate.

ExamininaThe
Circus Picture
ByMUFFYMCCLUNG
Staff Wriler/Photogiapher
Clowns! Clowns 1 Clowns I
The merriest, happiest, funniest
characters in a circus. Ringling
Brothers and Bamum & Bailey
brings the best boisterous
bums, tramps, white-face,
grotesque, and classic clowns to
town. The old saying, '"Just
downing around", holds true
for these people in life.
Clowning is a natural part of
their character.
Vince Manzo, a classic,
white-face clown, has been with
Ringling for three years. His
image as a clown is one of a
samll, innocent boy. Although
his true age is 21, he generates
this image with such ability that
it is easy to se it's a part of his
personality.
Vince claims, "You have to
keep your mind open. . .to
what's happening around you. I
can't create a character, it will
come as I perform."
When asked why he -joined
the circus, Vince ventured
quickly, "It was either this or
being sold to gypsies!"
Unlike most clowns, Vince
was motivated by the desire to
perform. "I wanted to be a
performer. I may go on and do
something else as a performer,
but the circus if the nicest place
to be in. It's fiin and the money
is good. It's all fantasy. I have
the flreedom to do what I want as
a clown."
The circus is a fast paced life
siyle. Good health, bountifol
energy and great stamina are
essential. "Yoa have to learn
how to pace yourself so you
don't water a lot of energy. Like
I should be sitting down right
now Instead of walking
around," says Vince in-between
acts.
Another white-face clown,
Anthony Cicchino (Chino), says,
"I always wanted to be a
clown." He wight eight years
old when he saw his first circus
and it was love at first sight.
Mark Buthman, also a classic
white-face, replys to the
question of why he wanted to be
a clown. ' 'It \vas an ambition, a
dream, something - to follow
after."
The only way to become a
clown for Ringling is to graduate
from their specialized Clown
College in Venice, Florida. On
the average, 1500 persons apply
and 50 are chosen to attend.
Our of that 50, maybe 20 will
graduate.
Clowns are not the only
characters that make a circus
what it is. Christo Stefanov, a
teeterboard artist, acrobat, and
gymnist for the Boitchanovi
Tetterboard Troupe has a four
year contract to complete with
Ringling. Christo has been in
circus life for 23 years. This is
his second time in the United
States.
'"Maybe I'll go back to
Bulgaria," he says. The circus
is work. It's all veddy busy."
Christo's English may not
have been "veddy" good but
his body language was par
excellance. His muscles were as
big as a curcul elephant and as
hard as the feats they
performed.
Ringling's show girls are
among the most beautiful and
talented from all over the- globe
Gina Schleicher, a show girl for
Ringling, got her start in a
school in California.
"I do neck spins, aerial ballet.
. .1 ride elephants and horses,
and I dance," she explained.
The youth of the circus if
represented by Barry Lappy, a
daredevil bicyclist with a proper
English accent. Barry caught
me off guard by tugging on my
sleeve and asking shyly.
"What's your name?" The
circus only magnifies his
charming personality.
How can one mention
Ringling Brothers and Bamum
& Bailey Circus without
equating it to Gonther Gebel-
Williams? He is incomparably j
"Lord of the Ring," as The New
York Times dubbed him.'
Charisma is his middle name.
Joan Tramontano, Director of
Public Relations for RingUng,
states, "Gunther is really
bivolved with his animals. He's
impossible to get to because he
spends most of his thne with
them."
Gunther amazes audiences
with his astounding display of
animal mastery, as he cou-
rageously puts a cageful of
fierce tigers through an
astounding array of tricks. No
One of the highlights of this
tiger presentation is a giant
swing holding Gunther and two
of his cats, swaying back and
forth in the cage, high above the
arena floor.
Gunther is signed up for a 5
year contract with Ringling.
Let's hope he signs up for
another 5 years!

The Circus Rouses Patriotism
ByLORIHELLEBRAND
Staff Writer
Perhaps it is the greatest
show on earth, for, the
Bicentennial Edition of the
Ringlmg Bros, and Bamum &
Bailey Circus did delight
"Children of ALL ages."
You could see it Monday
night at the final show. If you
watched their faces or saw them
laugh, you realized that they
were holding their breath with
excitement.
The circus is as American as
the Fourth of July. It is
remembered long past other
forms of entertaimnent. In one
circus performance there is a
combination of comedy, precis-
Ion, daring and an abundance of
color. The entertainers come
from afl over the world. It has
survived through war and
deprssidn, and still captures the
Interest of iniliions.
The Bicentennial Edition took
over a year of developing to
reach its present form. It is the
first entertainment enterprise to
celebrate the event.
The costumes of the special
edition deserve special atten-
tion. Over a year's work from
100 seamstresses and tailors put
together the hundreds of outfits
seen for only a few rninutes in
the show. Millions of red,
white, and blue sequins are
used for one elephant blanket,
along with hundreds of hand
sewn mirrors. Wide hoop-
skirts, ruffled shirts and jeweled
hats set the mood of the Early
American period.
Afte a wild call from Paul
Reveer, ' 'The Circus is coming! ,
The Circus is coming!" the
Greatest Show began. The
master of the animals, Gunther
Gebel--Williams, commanded
his tigers 4-n an exciting
performance, making them
seem more like kittens.
Among other spectacular
sights, there were dancing
horses, bike-riding chimps and
performing poodles. The art of
split-second dexterity was
demonstrated by the Sofia
Troupe from Bulgaria with
mid-air somersaults and tight-
rope gymnastics-minus the net -
by the Ternos.
But the majority of the show
was a salute to the 200th
anniversary of the United
States. The parades, the music
and the acts all revolved around
this salute. Children in the
audience were invited to march
in the parade, and rode in large
carts around the "big top"
"Hooray for the USA!" was
the theme of the last
performance, as the whole
Ringling Bros, family gathered
and . performed. Gnnther
Gebel-Williams roused the
elephants to a "standing"
ovation, while the animals and
other members paraded, spec-
tacularly arrayed.
For many at the moment, it
was the Greatest Show on
Earth, and a show that will be
remembered long past the 1976
Bicentennial celebration.

JC Sfudents Volunteer Aid
To Habilifafion Center
By BECKY MORSE
Staff Writer
On our campus there are
students' who are volunteering
their time and themselves to
helping others.
Fulfillment - that's a big word
that stretches far beyond it's
eleven letters. Life many times
if defines as the search for
fulfillment of one's self.
We strive to satisfy this
search through knowledge and
relationships with others and
often become exhausted in the
hunt but we go on searching.
Yet there are some people
who, without the help of others,
stumble in thefa- search because
of disabilities of many Idngss
physical, mental, emotional as
well as behavioral disorders that
can hinder their attempts for
fnlfilhnent.
There is a special kind of
fulfillment that can be derived
through helping others and the
first step has been taken.
The opportunity for you to
help is there, the place is the
Palm Beach Habilitation Center
on Congress across from JlC.
Students are needed to do
volunteer work with the center's
clients and help them to obtain
knowledge and learn how to
handle relationships with
others. As a volunteer, the
specific type of work will be
decided upon by a counselor and
will depend upon where help is
most needed.
In general, volunteers work
beside a client doing the same
work, hopefully giving the client
incentive to work faster, ignore
distractions and raise his
production levels. Volunteers
work with clients, not to look
over them, but to set an
example. They encourage the
Clients in their work and
relationships with those with
whome they work.
As part of Mrs. Eleanor
Salisbury's General Psychology
class her students have the
option to participate in the
volunteer program. But the
program is not limited to only
Mrs, Salisbury's students.
Anyone interested ay contact
Betty Dwyer, administrative
assistant, at 965-8500, ext. 48,
or other personnel at the center.
The center also has two
satellite centers, the Palm
Beach Habilitation Center at
Boca Raton and the Glades
Habilitation Center.
Some clients live at the Palm
Beach Center in the forty
available beds in the dormitory
residence.
Other living quarters are
available in the four residential
houses in the area which have
house parents and provides an
atmosphere close to that of
normal home life.
Still other clients come in

PBHC was opened in 1959 as
a division of the Palm Beach
County Association for Retarded
Children. Then, with commu-
nity help, the center moved in
1960 to its present location.
Since 1967, when the Center
separated from the Palm Beach
County Association for Retarded
Children, it has become a
non-profit, charitable organi-
zation.
Its purpose is to create
habilitative services to handi-
capped adults sixteen years of
age and older.
The programs at the
habilitation center are may.
Some are work evaluation,
personal adjustment training,
■behavior modification, counsel-
ing, academic training, social
survival skills, group therapy,
social and recreational pro-
grams and occupational skill
programs.
Job Placement and follow-up,
in which clients work at jobs in
the community, and the
Extended Employment, which
provides clients with employ-
ment withing the center through
work contracts with industries,
gives clients the needed feeling .

ience in working and relating to
others.
Dr. Samuel Bottosto, head of
the Social Science department,
Mrs. Salisbury, Mr. and Mrs.
Benedict who head PBHC,
along with their employees and
many other people have been
instrumental in establishing this
opportunity for JC students to
learn, to help, to be fulfilled and
to help fulfill the lives of
PBHC's clients.
The path has been paved, the
opportunity is there, the choice
is yours.

Streaking Saluted
By JOHN AUCHTERLONIE
When a student, in nothing
but his birthday suit, whizzed
across the Florida State
University campus last January,
he thought he had discovered
something new, streaking.
I feel it is my duty as an
investigative reporter to pay
tribute to this fad and its fellow
fops (people who participated in
fads) in its first anniversary.
The troth of the matter is,
streaking has been aronnd for
many centuries. It all started as
far back as 287 B.C. when
Archimedes discovered the
speclflcIawofgravHy. "When he
noticed the water level in his
bathtub rose when he sat in it,
he then ran through the street of
Sicily proclaiming his discovery.
Next came Lady Godiva in the
year of 1062 when she protested
against taxes imposed by her
husband, the Earl of Mercia.
She merely rode through the
street of Coventry, England, in
her altogether on a horse. Her
actions proved quite effective;
the Earl was so embarrassed
that he lowered the tax.
Streaking became dormant
for some time after, simply
because of lack of exposure
(pardon me) Any public acts of
nudity were shunned by the
media unless the pictures were
of pretty girls.
The late sixties brought about
another form of nudity when it
became customary for some
exhibitionist to dance around
nude at a rock concert. This was
originated at Woodstock. But
we cannot classify this as
streaking, merely as nude
dancing. Heavens knows, West
Palm Beach has been subjected
to many forms of outright naked
activity not classified as
streaking and there will
undoubtedly be more.
Soon Burt Reynolds was
doing his shy Cosmopolitan
pose, there were magazines
with nude pin-ups of European
males and Jackie Onassis with
nothing on but her snn^plasses,
photographed tiirongh a tele-
photo lens.
Unfortunately, these people
did not follow the proper
codifications of streaking. They
were sneakerless, maskless,
scarfless and hatless. They
didn't run for the pleasure of a
crowd.
All until the month of
January, 1974. Since then,
streaking has come and gone
and with it every record
conceivable has been set.
People claim the youngest
streak, highest streak, longest
streak, first streak, fastest, most
en mass and the list continues.
I would like to recognize these
people for their outstanding
effortts of baring the facts of
human nature and having just
plain old raw courage.
But one record remains
unwritten in the annals of
streaking, the first streaker of
1975. Happy Anniversary to
streaking.
Is Boredom The Culprit?
Only a few members in the relative age bracket of this
campus have lashed out against streaking, which is about the
same amount as those who have struck. So why did streaking
become extinct? Or for that matter, why did it even start?
Noted experts have been quoted on various opinions of
streaking. Some say it is healthy exercise, the desire to
become' a kid again, just good clean fun or people just
shedding their problems.
Streaking must be a comination of all these considerations
with one standing ut as on underlying motive.
Most authorities began to settle on the theory that
streaking is a form of escaping from the pressures of society,
or studies as in the case of college students. But what did the
students of 1974 have over the students of 1975? So far we
are fadless.
Maybe we just got bored of the whole thing. Or maybe we
just aren't frustrated enough. If you've seen one streaker
you've seen them all. With the way things are going today I
wouldn't bet my bottom dollar we haven't seen the tail end of
this situation yet.

Blind dates, I suppose, will always be the same. Always
there will be a bit of trepidation on the part of both parties
involved.
It seems that these dates have gained a reputation for
failure, and yet they still occur. The following conversation is
of that phenomena.
Malcolm: Hey man, you're gonna like the date I got ya 'cause
I know you like tall girls.
David: No, I hate tall girls.
Malcolm: Well, for a girl she's pretty tall, but actually she's
shorter than you.
David: That's good.
Malcolm: Also, she's studying Physics.
David: I hate smart girls.
Malcolm: Well, she's failing Physics, of course, I wouldn't set
you up witn someone you wouldn't like.
David: Then you got me a date with a sports-minded girl,
didn't you? I know you did 'cause you know how much I like
sports.
Malcolm: Sports? Oh! Yeahl She looks like she might have
played football.
David: Football!! She's not fat is she? You know how I can't
stand chubby girls!!
Malcolm: She played quarterback, how many fat
quarterbacks have you seen? Take my word for it, she's well
built.
David: I hope she's not too well built, I don't want all the
guys starin' at her all night.
Malcolm: She's well built for a quarterback, I mean,
David: Does she dook?
Malcolm: Do you like a girl that cooks?
David: Do I ever!
Malcolm: Does she ever!
And so, another poor unsuspecting couple is coupled.

Jinx Broken

By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
Though for the last two years,
Pompano Beach Municipal
Stadium has been a jinx to the
JC bseball team, the Pacers
clobbered Ft. Lauderdale 14-7 in
Pompano, Wednesday.
Head coach Dusty Rhodes
praised the hitting of Rich
Sorise, who had four RBI's, and
Glen Rogers, who walked six
times and scored five runs.
JC's defense only committed
one error during the nine-inning
contest. "We've got to get in
better shape, but overall I'm
satisfied with the team's
progress," commented Rhodes.
The Phillies won the National
Baseball Conference (NBC).
Championship last season, and
are funded by the Philadlephia
Phillies major league organi-
zation.
The Pacers scored one run in
the first, three in the second,
one in the third.
In the fifth, Dave Lang led off
with a base hit to left followed
by Dan De Stout's hit up the
middle. Lang was unsuccessful
in his attempt to go to third, as
he was thrown out from right
field.
Rogers walked, then advan-
ced to second on a passed ball.
Sam Testa lashed a shot to left,
scoring DeStout and Rogers.
Testa came home on a double by
Sorise.
"The pitching, which was one
of our raiajor concerns at the
beginning of the year, seems to
be coming aronnd," com-
mented Rhodes, "The mental

Turnovers
Defeat JC
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
"Indian River Community
College's defense caused our
turnovers," said Bob Wright,
JC head coach, after the 99 - 84
setback to the Pioneers
Wednesday night in Ft. Pierce.
The loss dropped the Pacers
to 3 - 2 in division play pending
the results of Saturday night's
contest at Mimai-Dade North.
Mike Leathersvood's Pioneers
shot a blistering 65% from the
field as Darryl Turner, a 6' 2"
guard from Alexandria, Va., hit
25 points at this leisure.
JC was outplayed, and they
simply "beat our tails,"
commented Wright.
With only 45 seconds gone,
Gerald Preston opened the
contest with a jumper wii'i only
45 seconds gone, am the
Pioneers never relinquished the
lead.
The inability for the Pacers to
control the ball and nunierous
turnovers padded Indian River's
lead. The half-time score
showed Palm Beach down by 11;
46 - 35.
Jim Flack, a 6' 6" freshman
sub from Long Island, N.Y.
scored a total of 17 points in the
second half for Indian River.
Exemplifying the disaster,
Don Burns of JC only
contributed 6 points. He
averages 14.0 per game.
Leatherwood commented ' '
the keys to the ballgame were
our zone defense and our ability
to rebound with them."
William Hall led JC with 12
rebounds and 18 points. Ron
Cunningham popped in 14 with
Gus Poyastro adding 12.
Poyastro, averaging 13.1
rebounds peir game, was held to
a five rebounds by the Pioneers.
Summing up the game
Wright explained, "They toolc
the ball ont or oar hands like
they owned us. ' We didn't
fight back." Pioneer coach
Leatherwood added, "TUs was
onr best ball game in a month."
"We were keyed up because
we had to win and we simply
outplayed them."
Next action for the Pacers is
Wednesday night against div-
ision leader Edison Community

Sports Life
Defense Lacking
Wherever the game of
basketball is played, the
philosophy is the same.
In order to win a basketball
game, two elements are
necessary. One is to put the ball
in the hoop, and the other is to
hold your opposition to the least
amount of points physically
possible.
Yet, the Pacers seem to score,
but not play defense. A prime
example is the Indian River
game last Wednesday when the
Pacers scored 84 points;
enought to win most games,
except when, the opposition
scores 99.
There is no excuse for a team
with the talent of Palm Beach to
let a baUclnb physically destroy
them and blow them off the
court.
On the season the Pacers are
ranked third in the state with
total offense, 90.0 per game, but
twentieth of defense.
Referring to the IRCC game,
Pacers coach Bob Wright said,
"I think we're still thinking in
the past. We still don't have
any get up and hustle. They
beat us to death."
One point is for certain, JC
Timothy L. Bray-
must improve on their 4-4 road
game record if they are to make
another appearance at the state
tournament at Stetson Univer-
sity in Deland next month.

Charles Wadlington, high
ranking Lake Worth tennis
player, has decided to play
tennis at JC this season.
Transferring from Murray
State University, where he
finished last year with a 16-9
record, he will be In competition
for the JC No. 1 spot. Originaty
from Lake Worth, Wadlington
returned here "because of the

pleased to welcome Charles to
the team. We believe he will be
able to help us to another good
tennis year at the college."
Wadlington represented Lake
Worth High School in the 1973
Florida Doubles Championship
as part of the No. 1 doubles
team with Chappie Brown. He
was ranked No. 10 in the state in
his junior year, and his team
finished No. 5 during his senior
year.
Wadlington anticipates a
good season with the team.
"Everybody is good, and
everybody I know fights." He
said, "If everybody puts out in
the matches we will go
undefeated - and win state."

Amendments At Stake
In Voting Thursday
Marc
Second Time Around
By ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Constitutional amendments
and three yes or no questions
will be brought before the
student body in an SG special
election to be held Thursday and
Friday.
Amendments to be voted on
were introduced last year, but
according to SG Vice President
Dolor Ginchereau, the former
vice president Nicki Phillips, did
not go through the correct
procedures for their adoption.
The first amendment states
that students _ may not "con-
currently hold office in two or
more separate branches of
Student Government".
Ginqhereau believes this
amendment Is necessary so that
students will have more time to
dedicate to one of the branches,
and thus do a better job.
Laws, appropriations and
regulations will be passed by
the majority of the Senate
present and voting, instead of
the entire majority as it is at
present. This is provided for in
the second amendment.
Another amendment states
that ' 'any Senator or Executive
Board member removed from
office for failure to attend
meetings shall not be barred
from becoming a candidate in
following student body elect-
ions."
At present, only Senators and
not Executive Board members

Budget Presentaf Ions Expected Tuesday
By PHILIP NEUBAUER
StaffWriter
JC's Activity Fee Committee met
Tuesday, Jan. 28, with emphasis on the
expenditures of the organizations on
campus.
Activity representatives presented
written accounts of what their
organizations had spent by the time of
the meeting on Tuesday.
Oral budget presentations, Which
include miscellaneous information on
the organizations, begin at the Feb, 11
meeting.
Student Government President Tory
S. Buckley proposed, in the form of a
motion, that lots be drawn as to
determine the position of which the oral
presentations would be given. The
motion was passed and lots were drawn
with the music organizations first, the
Beachcomber second, assemblies third,
athletics fourth, Student Government
fifth, Galleon sixth, Media seventh,
Forensics eighth, and the I & R Board
ninth.
After the draw, Walker "Graham,
adviser of Media, agreed to change his
seventh position with Music.
Il was then proposed, in a form of a
motion, that speeches not exceed a
maximum of 30 minutes. The motion
was passed by a vote of 11-0.

Ginchereau believes that the
next amendment would be
"good for the school". It would
chainge the campaign time for
elections from one week to two
weeks. With more time,
candidates could speak, cam-
paigns would be more competi-
tive and students could get mOre
involved and make a better
choice, Ginchereau explained.
A two-thirds vote for
impeachment is provided for in
another amendment. Gincher-
eau said this amendment sets
guidelines for impeachment.
The 'last amendment reads:
"Amendments to the Constitu-
tion: Proposed by a two-thirds
vote of the;Student Body Senate
present and voting and ratified
by two-thirds of the student
body voting".
At present the words
"present and voting" are not
included in this section of the
Constitution; instead an amen-
dment is adopted by two-thirds
of the entire senate and student
body instead of only those
voting.
Amendments are written by
the Coiistitutional Amendments
Committee. They are intro-
duced to the Senate and debated
on. If the Senate vote is
affirmative the amendment
goes to the Student Activity
Committee. If they feel it
should be adopted it is then
taken tp Student Government
and elections are held. ..
According to Ginchfereau,
these elections are being held
now instead of April to avoid a
long, complicated ballot, and so
that SG might get started on the
amendments now.
Also included on the ballots
will be three yes or no
questions, as follows: "Should
athletics receive one-third of the
activity fee as presently is being
done? Should SGA be abolished
in its present form and be set up
as a student committee? Do'you
want a yearbook?"
Odas Arant, advisor to the
Galleon, said the question
pertaining to the yearbook is
"immaterial to me, I'm not
alarmed by it.
"If students want a yearbook
they should come over and work
on it," he said.
The Galleon has been having
difficulties getting enough staff
members. Arant' said he'll
accept anyone who wants to
work on the staff, provided
he's had high school experience
or has an active interest which
could help.
Arant thinks it iinfair that the
Galleon was singled out.
"If they vote on one activity,
why not vote on all of them? ' ' he
said.

CLEP: Advance, But Pay For It
ByMUFFYMCCLUNG
Staff Writer
i Now is the best time for
■people on campus to take the
College-Level Examination Pro-
igram (CLEP).
CLEP is a national program of
credit-by-examination, spon-
sored by the College Entrance
Examination Board that offers
student the opportunity to
obtain recognition for college-
level achievement. Intensive
reading, on-the-job experience,
adult school or correspondence
courses, television or taped
courses-any of these may have
prepared you to earn college
credit.
No matter where or how you
set an education, you can take-
CLEP tests. If the results are
acceptable to your college, you
will receive credit.
Many colleges encourage
students to take CLEP tests for
Technical
DUncuffies
Plague WRAP
ByJOELTANEN
News Editor
JC's campus radio station,
WRAP, has been off the air for
several .weeks due to technical
difficulties.
Joan Francis, assistant man-
ager, sai^' Tuesday that WRAP
could be back on the air in two
or three weeks. She said the
control board is being redesig-
ned by two technicians.
Too much power has been
running through the amplifiers,
and as a« result two amps have
been blown-up in the last ^ear.
The technicians, Doug Reich
and Glenn Powell, are working
to alleviate that problem and to
assure WRAP a smoother-
broadcasting system.
The control hoard also needs
a "limiter" device that controls
the volume between WRAP'S
two turntables. When a cut
(recprd) first comes on, the
limiter will smooth out the
jbount! so it won't sound like a
bonib is exploding. ',
The control b«>ard needs other
parts that most be ordered
through Radio Shack or
La&jfette Electronics. . Foor
parts have arrived, but two of
them were the wrong ones. The
limlter has not been ordered as
of yet.
WRAP could presently
broadcast, but because of past
complaints about the high level
and distorted sound, they ^re
reluctant to do so.
"We had no way of knowing
how loud we were, playing,"
commented Francis.
WRAP hopes to be on the air
soon and receive a good
reputation. They Will only
broadcast in the north end'of the
JC cafeteria, allowing those
students insisting on studying in
the cafe' to do so in the south
end.
"That's not the place to
study," said WRAP disc jockey
Jim Walker.
According to WRAP Manager
Dave Drnmniond, JC President
Dr. Harold C. Manor and Dean
Elizabeth Davey gave WRAP
permission to move their station
from SP-1 to SAC Lonnge-8
where Circle K presently
operates.
credit in subjects they already
have mastered. People of all
ages interested in pursuing a
college education have reduced
the cost of time and money by
successfully completing SLEP
tests.
The services of the program
are also available to people
asked to take the tests by an
employer, a professional licens-
ing . or certifying agency, or
other groups that recognize
college eqoivelency on the basis
of satisfacotry CLEP scores.
You may take the tests solely for
your own information.
CLEP is divided in two areas
of examination,, general and
subject. The general exams are
one hour objective tests that
measure achievement in the
liberal arts, english composi-
tion, humanities, math, natural-
sciences, social sciences and'
history. Subject exams narrow
down to specific college courses
such as: Freshman English,
Microbiology and Western
Civilization.
Inflation has hit CLEP exams
and the fees have gone up a
comparative $5.00. One test is
$20.00, two tests are $30.00,
and three to five tests are
$40.00. An enthasiastic student
can ran up an $80.00 biU with
nine tests.
J.C.'s testing director, Don-
ald W. Cook, relays, "I would
like the students to have a little
more realistic ideas of their
money."
Florida universities and
colleges won't award credit to
person's getting a score lower
than the 50th percentile, on any
one CLEP exam. Mr. Cook
implies that usually when a
student has ranked in the 350th
percentile or above on his 12th
grade placement test, he has a
good chance of passing the
CLEP." In individual subjects
(English, math) a 75th percen-
tile or above in the FTGT shows
a good chance for passing the
SLEP in that subject.
February 13th and March
13th are the two best times to
take CLEP. Testing usually
starts in the spring, allowing
teim to receive test results and
academic -advising.
The testing center at JC is
located in the Administration
Building, room five.

Gameroom A "Very Good Success"
ByMUFFYMCCLUNG
Staff Writer
SG's game room, in the SAC Lounge,
is now equipped with two pool tables, a .
T.V., three pui ball machines, computer
ping pong, air hockey and a juke box.
Fees for usage are minimal; a quarter a
game.
Contrasting with the game room set
op two years ago^ SG Vice President
Dolor Glncherean comments "by
observation, it's coming along. . .the
students seem to be using it. It looks ^
be a very good success."
B'ecause of delinquent damage to the
previous game room, six supervisors
have been hired to keep an eye on
activities.
The equipment is rented from Florida
Music Company, which receives forty
percent of any money made in the game
room, SG gets sixty percent of that
quarter you drop in the pin ball
machine.
Karen Ovlasuk, senate secretary,
observes thai so far, "We're about
breaking even." Supervisors must be
paid first. Ovlasuk implied that any
profits may go into junior college
scholarship funds. At, this time, ij: is
still speculation.
Senate Gets Something ForNothing
ByJOELTANEN
News Editor
The Student Government
Senate overrode President Tory
S. Buckley's veto on a bill
concerning special senate app-
ropriations, Thursday.
The bill passed by the senate
last week would give a $50
honorarium to all senators not
receiving it after the Fall term.
The senate 'figured if one gets
paid, all get paid.
It was clear Buckley dis-
agreed, for one week after
passing the bill, he vetoed it.
"I don't believe in giving
somebody something for noth-
ing," said .
Last term the senate set up an
"evaluation committee" to
determine which senators de-
serve an honorarium. The
committee did what they were
caUed on to do and voted on
each senator separately.
With three negative votes
against a senator being
necessary to take away an
honorarium, ten of twenty-four
senators did not get the money.
Senator Rob Abrams, however,
received over $120 dollars.
The Senate was not pleased
with the committee decision and.
reacted by passing the "special
senate appropriation" bill last
week.
Now that Buckley's veto has
been overridden, those ten
senators will get paid.
"I'll pass it on to Dave Lang
(SG Treasurer) .to get out the
checks," said Vice President
Dolor Ginchereau.
When asked if the evaluation
committee should be abolished.
Buckley said, "It's up to the
senate."

Blame Used Books
Publishers Inflate Prices
By SAM PUTT
Staff Writer
Do you feel ripped-off by the
campus bookstore? Many
students do, and have started a
Student Government used
bookstore which operates in a
rent-free college location with
unpaid help.
At SG, students can deliver
their used books and hope to get
about 75% of their new cost if
and when their books are sold.
Alternately, the campus
bookstore buys back textbooks
for cash, giving 50% of the new
purchase price, selling them for
75'/3 of the new price. If the
book is not sold, they take the
loss, not asking for funds from
the Student Acitivity Fund to
make up deficits.
An in-depth investigation of
book sales reveals that the
campus bookstore is not a
captive gold mine operated by a
money-hungry college, as is
frequently supposed.
In fact, current text books
may be purchased from any
bookstore that chooses to stock
them.
Few of these stores, however,
opt for' handling these texts for
the very human reason that they
cannot compete with the low
prices charged by our campus
bookstore.
Bookstores in general, receive
20% or less off. the publisher's
list price, that is, the price at
which our bookstore sells books
to us. As any business m^'or
knows, this mark-up will seldom
cover the operating costs of a
small business, no matter how
careftiUy run.
To further compound the
situation, our campus bookstore
pays five percent of its gross
receipts to the college general
fund, where it is charged
against the cost of utilities, rent
and maintenance services.
The remainder of the gross
profit goes for labor, book
transportation, (publishers
don't pay this) and incidental
services.
In addition, many govern-
'Gomber
Analysis
ment publications are sold at
cost to students, with the
bookstore absorbing transpor-
tation and handling costs.
Then where do .these
exorgitant prices come from?
Assume that three years ago a
publisher issued a Math 101
textbook. It was well received
and sold 20,000 copies.
The second, j^ear, in spite of
massive sales efforts, the
textbook sold only 15,000
copies.
This year, although few of the
original buyers switched to
other textbooks, only 6,000
copies are sold.
Feedback from instructors
assures the publisher that this
text is still popular, instructors
and students are well satisfied,
and that a thriving used-book
market for this text has
developed.
This market, however, is well
supplied by students who don't
need the book after finishing
Math 101,
The anxious publisher, sales
falling, profit dwindling, print-
ing presses idle, is in a
quandary. What can be done tp '
hypo sales and pay his mounting
bills?
Aha, red-blooded American
ingenuity finally solves the
problem! Bring out a new,
improved, sleek, fluorescent,
tangerine, space-age Math 101
text, with built-in toothpick
holder [Pat. Fend.] that makes
the old, tired Math 101 text
suddenly obsolete and also out
of print.
Naturally these improve-
ments are costly, so up goes the
price.
Sales on the Math 101 text
(again boom, bills get paid,
printers whistle while they
work, and everybody's happy!
Aren't you?

JCGrads Rate High
By JAMES CLEARE
Staff Writer
HovV do JC students compare
to students enrolled in univer-
sities?
Mrs. Mildred Whatley, dir-
ector of institutional research at
JC, says studients at JC are "as
well prepared as other students
or even more prepared" in some
areas.
Mr. Robert Moss, dean of
men, feels that students
attending JC "are a couple of
years older and that is a factor in
the maturity."
It was also stated by Dean
Moss that the academic
coonseling received is more
systematic and unified. This
imlfication Is achieved through
the use of the Academic
Counselor's Advisory Manual.
Cooperation between the
junior and upper division
colleges has led to the
establishment of a junior college
liason officer on upper division
college campuses. As Dean
Moss says, this makes it easier
for the student to get through
the snarls of "red tape'-' which
they sometimes get entangled
in.
If you are a person who must
be convinced by statistics or
numbers, here are the statistics.
Students attending JC that
transfer prior to receiving 90"
quarter hours may expect, on
the average, a grade point'
average (6PA) of 2.53. This

GPA is equivalent to those at
other junior colleges which
transfer students into the state
university system (SUS).
Students that remain at JC for
90 quarter hours or more will,
on the average, receive a GPA
of 2.44, which is .14 lower than
the GPA of the other junior
colleges which transfer students
into the SUS.
It should be noted (as the
chart will show) that JC
students, when they have
transferred to an upper division
college, more often than not,
will be slightly abovathe norm.
Dean Moss attributed the
above normal adhievements of
JC students to the college
program where they "gain a
better understanding of what
they wmt to do after two years
of much variety and general
education reqnbements."
Dean Moss also feels that
students attending JC will be
better prepared for the
."transfer shock" that some
students encounter when going
from a lower to upper division
college.

Sheriff Prevents
Release Success
If Sheriff William Heditman had his way, he might decide to lock
up prisoner rehabilitation and throw away the key.
■ That sounds a little drastic, but Heidtman has put a lid on the
county's prisoner work-release program. By that action he's also
put a lid on rehabilitation. It's a good idea that a subcommittee of
area legislators has been named to look into this matter.
Many disputes have arisen over the work-release program.
Public Safety Director Richard Lopez has accused the sheriff of
killing the program (Heidtman can veto any inmate application to
the program - he's denied all applications since November).
Frank Messersmith, the sheriff's administrative assistant, has
retaliated, saying that Heidtman "has nothing against
work-release" and hasn't approved applications because of lack of
worthy applicants.
Whatever the arguments, prisoner rehabilitation has suffered.
The county's work-release program is virtually inoperative now, and
that*s too bad.
Work-release is not dangerous - none of 115 prisoners has
committed a crime while in the program. It's a good program and it
makes sense. Only stockade prisoners convicted of a misdemeanor
can participate. They are given the chance to support their families
by working regular jobs by day; they return to the stockade at night
and on weekends. The program also benefits taxpayers because
these jnmates contribute to the expense of their imprisonment.
Since Heidtman can determine who goes on work-release, he has
definitely done a lot to hinder the program.
The power to veto any inmate application should not belong to the
sheriff. A proposed bill presented to the legislative delegation
concerns this. The bill separates law enforcement from corrections
by transferring this power to the sentencing judge and the state
Ptobation and Parole Commission.
The legislative delegation can do this area and the work-release
program a service if its subcommittee can find some answers to this
problem and the disputes surrounding it.

EDITORIAL
Ballot Misleads
"I'll ground and burn the Beachcomber!"
shouted Tory Buckley, SG President, during an
interview with Buckley, Dolor Ginchereau, and
Constance Holmes of the Executive Board.
What had the president so excited was his
inability to justify satisfactorily to the
Beachcomber why the question "Should
Athletics receive approximately 1/3 (one third) of
the Student Activity Fee as it presently does?" is
on the upcoming straw ballot.
It is unfair to single out one organization for
scrutiny when there might be inquiries made
about other activities on campus. Other
questions should be included on the ballot such
as, "Does the Beachcomber deserve to receive
8% of your activity fee," and "Does Student
Government deserve to receive 25% of your
activity fee?"
The Beachcomber does not question the right
of student government to present issues to the
student body. It is the one-sided, unexplained,
loaded quetion we strongly object too. SG has
failed to explain that this question was put on the
ballot for the private use of Tory Buckley.
Students should be told that the results of the
upcoming election will be presented to the
Activity Fees Committee which is currently in
session for the purpose of allocating monies for
student organizations during the 75-76 school
year.
The committee is meeting not just to review.
the budgets of the Athletic Department, but also
the Beachcomber, Student Government and
other organizations.
To misuse the trust of the student body is an
intolerable offense; students being given the
opportunity to judge one organization must be
given the same opportunity to judge all other
activities.
Buckley's outburst has helped to prove that his
immature leadership is a threat to all
organizations on this campus. Unfortunately he
has chosen the Athletic Department for his
personal vendetta and judging by his caution to
the Beachcomber in the same interview "Just
you don't make any mistakes," we can guess
who's next on his list.
We urge the SG Senate to keep a closer watch
on the activity of the SG president because what
he does is a reflection on the entire student body
of JC.

By DR. SAMUEL BOTTOSTO

America's most important
continuing task is to maintain a
climate of freedom in which the
individual can flouish.
This is the acid test of a
successful democratic govern-
ment. Since the United States is
the most complex political
structure ever to seek to manage
its affairs by the democratic
process - and because the
position the United States holds
in the world is so influential -
the success of this democratic
experiment is vital not only to
the United States but also to the
whole world.
Further, the political necessity
for the fullest, m. it competent
and most continuous education
should be obvious. When any
citizen, for whatever reason, is
deprived of this development, if
is a denial of one of his
unalienable rights.
Contrary to popular belief,
the passion of most Americans
is not politics, • baseball or
football. It is education, which
is now our biggest industry.
Once considered the privilege of
only the wealthy, the ^volution
of the American ideal of free
public education for all has been
closely bound to the develop-
ment of the nation itself. Our
educational history reflects the
American conviction that an
educated population is essential
to an effective democracy, to
freedom and to economic
growth.
Probably pever before in
history has there been a period
when greater emphasis was
focused on education. How-
ever, much discussion, debate
and spending proceed without
basic knowledge of what is
happening.
There is perhaps nothing that
has happened in education in
the past half century that can
surpass the recent flowering of
the uniquely American junior -
community college.
Education today has a new
dimension to help students find
their way into career programs
in which they can succeed.
Junior/community colleges are
that new dimension, and there
are some 960 now in America,
28 located in Florida. I like to
call these junior colleges the
colleges of the people, by the
people and for the people.
Truly, they are the colleges of
democracy.
Florida's oldest public junior
college is our own Palm Beach
Junior College, which came into
existence in 1933. Its low cost to
students, proximity to those it is
designed to serve, flexible
administrative arirangements,
strong counseling- services and
varied education programs suit
the needs of the times.
At a time when the nation's
public institutions of higher
education are experiencing
soaring enrollments, pervaisve
economic dislocations and other
pressures are forcing state
boards of education to make
decisions that would limit
college enrollments and keep
the cost of funding school
programs in line with declining
state revenues.
This action can only bring
further economic reverses to our
nation, and will lead to the
creation of an attitude of
defeatism or failure in terms of
implementing the American
ideal of equal opportunity for
education.
Education, has always been
considered the chief means of
social and economic betterment,
fostering in a free society the
widest and fullest development
of its human resources.
It seems to me that the State
of Florida, through its governor
and Cabinet Board of Educa-
tion, should examine its
priorities and make those
recommendations which recog-
nize the vital role played by
public education in the
development of a state's
economis potential and in the
improvement of the quality of
living of its people.
No less a decision should be
expected of leadership at the
highest levels of state govern-
ment at this critical time!

Manor Speaks On Issues
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
The president of Palm Beach
Junior College - the man who
has held that position since
1958-recently offered an inter-
esting opinion on what he likes
best about this college.
"The " mixture of the mature
student and the younger student
is very helpful to both," said Dr.
Harold C. Manor, as he lifted a
slight smile. "It's a wholesome
kind of thing."
Seated close to this reporter,
rather than behind the majestic,
larger- than- Student-' Govern
ment-size desk containing a
mountain of papers, JC's
President Manor recently opin-
ionized on a variety of subjects
of interest to the JC community.
During an hour-long inter-
view. Manor:
*said he would not favor a
combination faculty-student se-
nate.
*praised this year's Student
Government as one of the best
in recent years, primarily
because "they have acted on the
needs of the students."
*coramented that he could not
accept beer and wine on campus
under any circumstances, sugg-
esting that, when necessary,
students "find appropriate
places off campus."
*discounted rumors that he
was forced out as chairman of
the Faculty Senate. The
president said he would have
taken the issue to the Board of
Trustees if he wanted to remain.
*termed the Pacers' chances
as "excellent" to win the state
basketball championship.'
Manor, who retires in three
years, hopes JC can "continue
to keep up with the needs of the
people of Palm Beach County."
According to Manor, the
development of JC's satellite
campuses is the key to serving
their needs.
Herewith are Manor's res-
ponses to other Beachcomber
questions:
'COMBER: What do yu feel has
been your most important
accomplishment since you
became JC's president?
MANOR! The broadening of
the program to include a wide
variety of specialized opportun-
ities has been the biggest
accomplishment. Also, we have
expanded the services of the
college throughout the county. I
feel I've played a part in all this,
but I don't think one individual
can take the credit for
doing all these things.
'COIMBER: Has this college
turned out the way you
envisioned it when you assumed
the JC presidency?
MANOR; When I took over as
president I had no doubt that JC
would grow - and it has grown.
I'm very pleased that as it grew
it remained a good institution
academically. I think JC is
respected throughout the- coun-
try for its academic program, its
faculty and for the quality of
academic work that it does.
'COMBER: Do you plan to take
any action to preserve as much
as possible of the natural
environment of JC's branch
campuses presently being
planned?
MANOR; The planners will
have this in mind. We own very
small amounts of acreage, and
our utilization of th'at acreage
has to be *ery high, There will
be as many as 5,500 full-time
equivalent students on the
North (Palm Beach Gardens)
campus. This means every
available acre which does not
have a building on it will be in
parking space or just a little bit a
lawn. We are all ecology
minded, but we have a job to do
with a limited amount of ground
surface to do it on. If in the
development of these centers
we can do both, I think that's
fine. But our main task is going
to be to provide the facilities
that are needed.
'COlMBER; You have now
warned teachers of the
possibility of limited enroD-
ments for the spring terms, and
in a similar action the University
of Florida will no longer
"automatically" admit a stu-
dent with an A. A. degree. Do
these actions go against the
state's philosophy of its colleges
being "open?"
MANOR: Oh yes, they certainly
do. I'm unalterably opposed to
limitations on enrollments. I
believe it is in the best interests
of the state to provide training
and education for the people at
all levels. As an example of this
principle, in the 1940's the
United States Chamber of
Commerce was opposed to the
idaof veterans receiving money
to go to college. Later they
changed their opinion and found
that World War II veterans who
used the G.I, Bill returned more
to the government in income
taxes, than was ever spent on
the G.l. Bill, by virture of
increasing their earning power.
In the same sense, the potential
of Florida is going to be
enhanced by whatever we can
do in education. Florida
furnishes parks, beaches and
bike paths for people who come
to Florida. However, there are
people who would rather take
some sort of an intellectual
experiepce than go to the beach
or ride down a bicycle path.
'C0JVIB4;R: Do you feel it is
necessary for teachers to be
organized in a union t« secure
benefits and salary increases?
MANOR: No, I don't. I think
we have operated here over a
period of years in the framework
of cpllegiality. Consistently we
have had one of the highest
salary schedules in the state and
an excellent program of fringe,
benefits. I see no reason why we
would operate any better
interposing other groups in
between the lines of communi-
cation.
'COMBER: There is the
complaint that many teachers
are becoming apathetic. . .for
example, the Circle K club has
not been able to obtain a faculty
advisor for over a year. Is there
any appreciable " teacher
apathy" on campus?
MANOR: Teachers, rather than
being apathetic, are much more
aware as to the value of their
time. At one time it was
generally understood that all
teachers took part in extra-curr-
icular activities. But now, we
have far more teachers than we
do extra-curricular activities.
We're facing a time where those
people who are somewhat
interested are disenchanted
with some experiences that
they've had with student
groups. They're also very much
aware that not everybody does
this, so ' 'why should I"? That's
not apathy - it's just a different
set of circumstances. It
represents just a little in the way
many people approach society.
And I don't know that it's a
matter of apathy.
'COMBER. Conversely, Dr.
Manor, does it concern you
when only two percent of the
student body votes in an
election for Student Govern-
ment?
MANOR; Yes, surely.
'COMBER: Do you attribute
this also to changes in society?
MANOR: I think it represents
some change. I believe our
student body ranges a little
wider in interests and age than
it did at one time. Also, since
we are more of a metropolitan
type of college, the students do
not necessarily center all their
interests on campus. Many
students have valid, very close,
very active and effective
relationships with people and
groups and organizations off
campus. So I don't feel that
everyone feels their world
revolves around issues taking
place on campus outside of
class. The indication on the part
of these people is not apathy,
it's just an indication that this
phase of student life on campus
is not very vital to them.
'COMBER With budget cuts
upcoming, how much are
student activities liable to
suffer?
MANOR: Well, the board went
•ahead and approved a one dollar
activity fee. When we get down
to a pinch, there are some
things that the students might
voluntarily not do, if it meant
curtailment of something else
that they felt is more important
here. However, that is neither
here nor there right now since
students will continue to
manage those funds as long as
;^9X^^^9x^X
Dr. Manor Shares
a laugli with board
chairman Ed Eissey,
at riglit.
the board maintains this policy.
Under the policy, we have no
idea . as to what amount of
money will be collected. It was
our estimate that we might not
collect as much money from
fees, and also the Student
Government might not collect as
much money by virtue of the
new fee arrangement.
'COMBER Do you think
grants-in-aids ■ will ever bie
offered to involved students
other than athletes?
MANOR: All grants, even
athletic, should come from
people interested in the
community. I find it very
difficult to subscribe to the .'
philosophy of the college talcing
from one student to give to
another. I don't feel the college
should give any grants.
'COMBER: Are you also
opposed to honorariums?
MANOR: Many of the thing?
students are doing for honorar-
iums are part of a learning
experience. If, in reality, the
student really needs the money
there should be a program
whereby scholarships can be
given. I'm not sure everyone
who receives an honorarium is
working for the opportunity - it
may be they're working for the
honorarium. Ithinktheideaof the
honorarium is that it should be
considered more of a scholar-
ship grant, rather than a gifti
However, I don't believe that
any of these funds for
honorariums ought to come
from one student to give to
another.

Looking IntoTjAAystic

Horoscopes, handwriting analysis and
Chinese fortune cookies have for years
been heralded as popular methods for
forecasting the future. But, undoubtedly
more questions have been raised about
palmistry than any other fate prediction
techniqi^e.
Most often, the inquiries raised
include, "What is palmistry?" "How are
palms read?" and "Are the practitioners
really legitimate?"

Acronyms are the latest form of nuttiness. Acronyms are the
letters that stand for the long, inflated name of an organization or
cause - -NATO, UNICEF and NAACP are examples.
But acronyms have' gone beyond their functional purpose of
shortening official names to take up less space. They now must give
a clue to the "personalities" of the group or cause they represent.
Thus we have NOW, the impatient acronym of the National
Organization for Women. They is CHOW, the Cooking Haters of
the World, and SEX, for Sensual Expression to Excesses. And, of
course, there's WIN (Whip Inflation Now, which some wit turned
upside down to become NIM, or Nation of Indigent Malcontents.
■ Suspicion has arisen that groups are now being fdrmed simply so
that their names will fit the catchy little acronyms somebody
thought up at the Women's Auxiliary meeting.
There will be JEANS, for Juvenile Eccentrics and Nature
Kentucky). There wiU be GRUMP (Grouch Reactionaries Utter
Mournful Predictions) and its "rival organization DRUMP, which
stands for Don't Remind Us of Moral Principles. Many people
belong to DRUMP without even knowing it. It sure is an action
group.
People will, give speeches for SOAPBOX (Stamp Out All
Politicians By Oratory Xplosion), and be attracted to the melodious
CLANK of the Chain and lock Association of North Kansas, Those
with vampiristic inclinations can join BLOOD, the Bela Xugosi
Offertory Organizational Drive.
Members will carry signs, have televised demonstrations and
make bombastic speeches, all for the sake of an inspirting acronym.
Who could deny TRUTH (Take Revenge on Unscrupulous Tadpole
Hunters), or wish to obstruct JUSTICE (Join Up to Stop Traitorous
Interference with the Chinese Embassy or resist PRIDE (Prime
Rate Increases Defy Explanation)?
The problem is that it's difficult to fit words to the letters of an
acronym. One should here contemplate the plight of the ladies'
glass garden-making group who chose TERRARIUM as they
acronym. The best they could come up with was Tangible Evidence
that Roses Rot in A Rainy Indoor Urn, Murphy, and now they're
stuck with damp urns full of tangibly rotting roses, Murphy.
Things are even now getting out of hand. Lately I ran across a
proposition for the formation of FRANK SMITH, an organization
dedicated to the care and welfare of our Venture Editor. This .
acronym stands for Freaked-out Runner And Nonsensical Knave;
Suggests Many Insane Things. COLLEGE is rumored to stand for-
Collection Of Layoffs Looking for Education- Getting Exasperated.
As for BEACHCOMBER - nobody dares suggest what that might
.represent.

In an effort to answer these questions,
as a public service to the campus, the
Venture: editor decidedd that I should
uncover the truth behind this mysterious
business. And the best way to do that, of
course, would be to visit a few palmists
myself.
Brave as I might be, this is not what I
had in mind when I said I wanted to be an
investigative reporter.
Since there are numerous palmists in
the area, I thought the fairest way to
choose the lucky ones would be to check
the Classified Ads. Scanning the
"personals" section, I came upon two
options. Madame Ann on Lake Worth
Road or Madam Rose on Southern
Boulevard. For an interesting,
cross-section, I decided to take them
both.
I telephoned the latter and attained an
appointment for 4:00 that afternoon. .

So far, I had not been told anything
that I didn't already know. In fact, she
didn't even tell me anything that I did
know. While striving to remain objective,
I tried to decide if the adventure had
really been worth the money, I
approached rny next encounter with
trepidation, anticipation and a guilty
conscience. Perhaps there really was
something to the palm reading
enterprise. I decided to take heart and
get as much as I could out of this next
meeting.
Unfortunately, Madame' Rose did not
raise me from the gallows of skepticism.
In fact, I was even more disenchanted
than when 1 started. Not only did she
seem bored and uninterested, but she
asked me for the money before she even
looked at my palm. It cost me eight
dollars to find out that I was destined to
live until I was 73, would have three
children and receive a letter of good news
in two weeks. Letter, letter, whose got
the letter?
Concerning my problems, she offered a
simple, if not artless solution. "Do not
worry," was all she said.
I did, however, find out from her that
palmistry was an occult science, and
different lines in the hand denote
character and one's future fate. She
didn't seem too excited about divulging
the secrets of her trade.
"I am gifted," she said, "although
many people who are not try to read
palms anyway."
She added that no one, not even
herself, could read their own palm.
"It was not meant to be," she warned.
When I asked her if she was very bu.sy
this time of the year, she said she had hei
regular customers, and agreed that an
occasional curious weirdo like" me would
come to visit every once in a while.
.Sensing she was becoming bored with
such trivial conversation, I decided to
depart.
Resolving that the only fair way to
conclude my investigation would be
including a modern method of
forecasting, I paid a visit to one of those
combination weight-fortune machines.
Jtjst to see how its prediction correlated
with the events of the day, I deposited a
penny and hoped for the best.
"Be wary of cunning individuals," it
read;. "This is not one of your more

What's a ploy? Running out
of gas. A ploy is a maneuver to
maneuver yourself closer to
someone.
Whar are other ploys?
Taking an easily frightened
girl to see "The Exorcist".
Turning your air conditioning
on with your knee while, driving
to view the submarine races.
Taking out the seat belt on the
passenger side of your car so
that you have to share one.
Inviting your girl to a
midnight come-as-you-are party
and neglectmg to call anyone
else.
Buying a corsage for a
strapless gown.
As you can see, a ploy is
useful in developing inter-per-
sonal relationships; it also helps
in making out. To further
explain this phenomena, more
examples;
A psychological ploy is to say
"Please do^'t tickle me."
A more common type ploy?
Demonstrate how a boa
constrictor subdues his prey.
While these are ploys that
boys employ, girls do it, too.
A lot of female ploys are
designed to show off anatomical
highlights: dropping pencils,
forgetting bras, things like that.
I've heard that a fad is to cut
holes in one's clothing to show
off interesting tattoos.
A patented female ploy is to
retie, a tie, or, pretend to
"drown" around the life
guards.
Getting back to boy ploys; a
good strategem is to tell your
girl that you're going to take up
dress making, and then produce
a tape measure.
You could accidentally pur-
chase tickets to "I Am Curious
Yellow", if you are curious, but
yellow, and think that it would
help.
But seriously, ploys can be
annoying, so I'm going to "Hey!

Daredevils With Tradition ;
Spinning Life Of Skill
I plan to get more girls into the drome . . .
Muffy McClung Ptioto
For twenty-eight years, some
times as much as twelve times a
day, Sonny Pelican puts his life
on the line as he rides -his
motorcycle. "What's so
dangerous about riding a
motorcycle?" you ask. But on
the 90 degree wall of a 12-fpot
high wooden cylinder^ Did you
know that Sonny is the only
owner of a Suzuki with 3100
miles on it, sideways?
At age 11 Sonny was the
youngest person to tide the Wall
of Death and now at 42 he is the
world's oldest practicing "Mot-
ordromist.". I was curious to
find the "how and why" story
behind the wall of death. Here I
talk to Sonny Pelican, owner of
the Wall of Death Motordrom,
and daredevil.
Beachcomber: Tell Me
Sonny, How did you start riding
the Wail of Death?
Sonny: My mother and father
were raotordromists. It was a
family tradition. I did trapeze
work until I was drafter. When I
entered the service I weighed
124 pounds, when discharged I
weighed 210. My extra weight
prevented performing on the
rapeze, so I started motodrora-
g again.
Beachcomber: Approximat-
K how dangerous is your
tifessittn?
Sonny: We average about
one fall per week. The
motorcycles travel at approxi-
mately 40 m.p.h. When you
fall, the bike will always hit you
twice, once when you fall

siaff writer and photographer for . the
Beachcomber. That makes her ineligible for the

gear. Naturally this doodle suggests a person with
anistic ability, outgoing warm, tastful and creative.
She must be highly original and at least a
nonconformist. I've seen a lot of doodles around
but ue need more in the office so lets get doodling.
Vou could be the winner..
straight off the wall and once
when it spins around the
motordrom, this is the most
dangerous time of the fall.
Most common lightweight
motorcycles can be used on the
wall with slight modifications to
the bike, usually in the way of
tires. We used to use go-carts,
they're .easier to ride but are
extremely dangerous in an
accident. The steering wheel is
apt to poke a hole in you. The
bikes we use here are Suzuki,
Indian and Kawasaki. I do all of
my stunt riding on the Indian
because . of its low center of
gravity.
Beachcomber: Are there any
tricks to keep you from falUng?
Sonny: Definitely not. You
simply have to combine skill,
ability and coordination. You
have to be in good physical and
■ mental shape. One mistake and
you can endanger your life as
well as the lives of others. This
drom is the smallest of its kind.
When I started there were 72 of
them, now there are 12. The
bigger they are the easier they
are to ride. The smaller the
drom the less chance you have
of recovering from a mistake.
Most accidents are caused by
the spectators rather than by
rider or mechanical failure.
People drop cokes, purses or
whatever by accident for one
reason or the other into the
drom during a performance.
Once this happens there is little
chance for the rider to recover
from hitting a wet spot or an
object and the result is an
accident. We warn them, but. .
Beachcomber: What's your
stand, being a daredevil, on
what people would commonly
stereotype a motordromest.
Sonny: Sure there are a few
people who will say I'm crazy.
I've been in this profession for
28 years because I love it. All
five of my brothers have rode.
They, along with my mother and
father, retired from this
business safely. I couldn't bear
to see my motordrom stored
away in a farn. Once a friend of
mine and myself went up and
down the midway, asking
people of all different ethnic
backgrounds, as far as we could
tell, if they had seen the
motorcycle show, if not, why?
My associate came back a few
days later with an 18 page
report with some really funny
answers to our questions. Some
people said the whole show was
a put on that we had glue on the
tiers of the motorcycles. Some
said there were ropes going
firom a pole in the middle of the
drom to the rider, a surprising
amount said the bikes ran on
tracks of some sort and one guy
said that the whole thing was
done with mirrors. How can I
ride on a wall with a motorcycle
under intense vibration and "g"
forces and not have control of
my faculties} It would be
suicide. There are no tricks
what soever. If one of us makes
a mistake, then he pays for it.
Beachcomber; How many
people are there hi your act and
what does it consist of?
Sonny: First Ron Howser, a
local boy from Lake Worth, goes
on the wall just for a warmup for
the crowd and a test for the
track. He's just learned to ride
this week and can do a very little
but he has been a real natural
and will continue on with us in
the show.
Next comes Wanda McGraw
Gibson, a real enthusiastic
newcomer to the profession.
When she turned 18 and wanted
to learn how to ride in the drom.
We cleared it with her parents
first and she really caught on
fast. First she learned how to
ride a go-kart when we used
them, then she moved up to
motorcycles. Now "Wandadoes
dips and dives and can go
double with me on t^e wall.

dives also. Sometimes we
alternate who comes out first or
goes double. Then I come out
and do my stunts.
I try to put on a different show
using different machines or
whatever every year. I'm really
glad Wanda has shown interest
and come along the way she
had. I plan to get more girls into
the drom and am willing to
teach any girl over 18 to ride on
the wall.
Beachcomber: What are your
future plans in motordroming?
Sonny:? I need to- get more
girls, that's what my plans are
for a new show. I'm also going
to build a new drom. The one I
have is 25 years old. Building a
drom isn't easy, you know.
They have to be built a special
way, it's an old family secret
you know. The wood you use
must be No. 1 Fern and that's
not easy to come by at lumber
yards, especially with today's
prices.
Beachcomber: Have you ever
been in any movies?
Sonny:; Three. The biggest
one was called "Carnival".
Most people get me confused
with my brother though, who
played in "Roustabout" with
Elvis.
Beachcomber: In closing,
what do you think of Evil
Kneivel?
Sonny: I like him no matter
what. He is a true performer
and I have met him before. He
is totally committed and I do
think that he will jump the
Snake River Canyon again but
this time for free, for the public.
I'm sorry that I did not have
time to speak to the other three
performers, but time was the
culprit.
Sonny and his crew are a very
fulfilled group of dedicated
professionals. They are
easygoing and extremely inter-
esting to talk to. Believe me, if
you think you're not getting
your money's worth at the fair
on a show or ride, the Wall of
Death daredevils will give you a
20 minute show that's more
than your 75 cents worth!

JC Water Sports Need Expanding
By BECKY MORSE
Staff Writer
Physical fitness is synonymous
with good health and can be
achieved through eating the
proper foods and exercise.
We all have been taught good
nutrition in our schools and at
home. Good nutrition is
generally agreed upon and
followed by most American
families.
However, exercise comes
through many forms of
recreation, all beneficial both
physically and mentally.
Here at JC there exists a large
variety of recreational programs
through the P.E. Department
but it still could be greatly
expanded, especially in the area
ofwater related sports. But first
we need water, a safe, clean
supply of water which is
adequate for instructional pur-
poses.
Mr. Roy Bell, instructor of
existing water related recreation
at JC, feels an olymic pool on
campus would be a very definite
recreational value to students.
With an adequate number of
stations many different classes
could be taught at the same
time.
Aside from the usual levels of
swimming there are many,
many other activities to be
taught in a pool: scuba diving,
springboard diving, water polo,
water ballet, water basketball,
innertube basketball, skish
(bait-casting) and underwater
photography.
The pool would be available
for recreation between classes
and for parties. A pool would
provide students trained as life
guards to work at the pool and
the maintenance could be taken

Taurus Distracted
Flick Mager —
PISCES: Money becomes one
of your major worries. You even
get nervous when a friend is
extravagant . You could lose a
significant sum - fortunately,
this trend reverses itself in
weeks to come.
ARIES: Someone youre
attracted to reveals his or her
true attitude toward you. It
could be a startling revelation.
Remember past experience and
act accordingly.
TAURUS: Stick with the
course of action your experience
has proved to be the right one.
A distracting new situation is
less attractive than it looks.
Your old course is, for once, the
best.
GEMINI: An authority figure
who had your respect begins to
lose it. Get all the facts before
you completely revise your
opinion. Someone could be
telling you tall stories.
CANCER: You tend to take a
superior attitude toward some-
one you view as inferior. Watch
out - he or she could take
offense! Tolerance is the key
word this week.
LEO: A puzzling personal

new facts come to light. A loss
and two gains, one having to do

participate in activities. Join in

LIBRA: Your health could
give you problems, particularly

No one seems to want to be

have things explained to you
before you undertake them.
Refuse to allow youself to be

care' of by students also.
The idea of a pool is not new
to JC. A pool was in the
planning when JC first came to
its present location.
Our neighboring college,
Indian River Community Col-
lege (which has a smaller
enrollment , is building its
second pool.
Pools are expensive and Bell
estimates that a good teaching
pool would cost the college
$400,000, But as Mr. Hartman,
instructor of Biology and
ecology states, "If you save one
life, the pool would be worth' it.
You can't measure life in dollars
and cents."
In this area, especially where
water is so accessible, it is
surprising the number of people
who cannot swim. A pool on
campus for swimming instruct-
ion may just teach one student
to swim and save his life.
At present, beginning swim-
ming intermediate swimming
and senior lifesaving are part of
the physical education curricu-
lum, But students must travel
to the Lake Worth Racquet Club
Pool and pay a fee of $17 to the
school which is in turn paid to
the club as a temporary
membership fee for those
students enrolled.
If JC had a poo!, a competitive
swimming and diving team
would have an area to practice
and compete - another recreat-
ional benefit.
As exercise is essential to
good health, any water sport is
an invigorating exercise of great
physical and mental proport-
ions.
Donut Shop Typical Muldaur
ByLORIHILLEBRAND
Staff Writer
When Maria Muldaur sang
about a "Midnight at the
Oasis" she secured herself
firmly into the music world.
"Of all the pop/rock/folk
heroines of recent years, Maria
is the most fascinating." says
Nat Hentoff, Cosmopolitan
reporter. As a very involved fan
from Maria's hometown, Hent-
off describes her as "liquidly
sensuous, with a temperament
of quicksilver,"
Maria is perhaps the most
diversified female vocalist
today. She sings rock, and
blues, and jazz, and folk with a
swinging beat which can be
gentle, suggestive, and highly
sensitive, then turn around and
smack you right in the face. She
doesn't like ."high-wattage, low
mentality" music, that she says
is like a "wierd sideshow".
Born about 30 years ago,
Maria grew up in Greenwich
Village, where she was
surrounded with music. Sunday
afternoons were spent in
Washington Square Park, lis-
tening to the blues, mandolin
players, folk singers and
bluegrass. Bob Dylan was doing
apprentice work in Gerde's Folk
City.
After absorbing all this, she
married singer Geoff Muldaur
and joined his band. Six years
later the marriage broke up and
Maria was out on her own. She
soon released her first album,
"Maria Muldaur." The album
sold over a million dollars worth
of copies.
Her second is now out,
"Waitress is a Donut shop",
and is typically Maria.
Listening from cut to cut, she
bounces from happy to sad,
light to dark.
Maria is now working on
improving her musical know-
ledge since she realizes how
unstable fame is. She is
determined not to be caught "in
an image". As she told
interviewers, "I want to test
whether this success comes
from people's impression of me
as a foxy chick or whether the
music can reach people, no
matter what I look like."

Athletic Question Spurs Debate
JCStudents
To Decide
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
On Febcuaiy 6 and 7, JC
students are being asked to cast
a straw ballot by the Student
Government. One question
deals with the amount of money
appropriated by the Activity Fee
cemWtttoe to athletics.
Students are asked to vote
whether or not they approve of
athletics receiving approximat-
ely one-third of the student
activity fee as it presently does.
Also, SG is inquiring, by the
poll, whether or not the students
favor increasing or decreasing
the proportions of the athletic
departments percent of the
activity fee.
This action by the SG is only a
questionnaire . . Dolor Gincher-
eau, "vice president of SG,
stated, "This is a straw ballot on
what the student body is
thinking.
"It's food for thought," he
said.
"The results of the ballot will
be presented to the Executive
3oard (of SG)," said Tory S.
jckley, president of SG, "then

See Page 12
Students voted in the 1965-66
school year to give $5.00 of
the $15.00 activity fee to
athletics. This week
students voice theu opinion
as to the continuation of that
allocation.
enough of the studeftt activity
fee, Buckley said, "No comment
at the moment."
Dr. Howard Reynolds, JC
athletic director, commented,
"the total amount of money
available next year will be
considerably: less."
Next year the student pays
$11.00 per semester hour and no
activity fee is charged.
Reynolds continued, "$1.00 of
that $11.00 goes toward the
activity fee."
The structure is the only
difference.
Percentage wise, the best the
athletic department could get
from the student activity fee is
33 . percent, according to
Reynolds. "This year we are
Retting 34 or 35 percent.
Reynolds said that approxi-
mately $145,000 was appropria-
ted to the Activity Fee
Committee for the 1974-75
school year. Speculating the
cutbacks, Reynolds believes
that figure could drop to
$115,000 for the 1975-76 school
years..
JC Basketball Coach Bob
Wright posed the question,
"How else are you going to get
your money?"
Reynolds echoes, /'Certainly
not from gate receipts." JC
collected $1200 last year from
tickets to basketball games.
"Asking and getting comm-
unity scholarships Is two
different things."
]Dr. Harold C. Manor,
president of PBJG, commented,
"Athletics is not an inexpensive
activity to carry on. I think more
scholarships from the comrhu-
nity are possible."
Manor doesn't think that
there are any other ways
athletics can be funded, other
than throu#i admissions.
The students tacked on the
*c 00 additional money in the
1965-66 school year to support
an .athletic program. ■
Dave Lang is involved in both
athletics and SG. "I'm going to
do everything in my power to
„et the students out to vote.
Then •we'il just have to wait and
see," said Lang.
"There Is »** doubt about It,
*he athlete's are gohig to try and
fi students to vote for them.
® *q will endorse athletics."
Sports Life
Fund Cuts Hurt Program
- Timothy L. Bray
The question of how athletics
is funded comes up every year,
and it seems to cause more
headaches than it's worth.
Dr. Reynolds even commen-
ted recently . that it takes too
much time and paper work for
the benefits. After all, he has to
run a program.
Yet with the economic
conditions of our country,
everything intruding athletics is
to be cut drastically.
Speculating only, athletics at JC
could be cut as much as S14,000.
SG Treasurer and baseball
player Dave Lang commented,
"Tory (Buckley) can't see why
the students should pay for the
athlete's scholarships."
Even though Bob Wright, JC
basketball coach, is pro athletic,
he has the best answer. "How
else are you going to get your
■MONEY?"
From the baseball diamond,
Dusty Rhodes commented, "A
lot of kids come to college to
learn a trade. It's not unfair at
all. Activities are here for the
students."
After all. Dusty, this just
happens, to be the athlete's
particular trade.
Other junior colleges in this
state have appropriated up to 60
percent of their activity fee
towards athletics.
Echoing my thoughts, Wright
said "Athletics has given more
exposure than any other event
or activity to this campus. More
people in the community know
about the athletic department
than any other event."
Dr. Manor, the Board of
Trustees and the entire
administration must have felt
that the athletic program is
important or they would never
have had it in the first place.
Wright concluded bluntly,
"This program must go first
class or forget it."

JC Loses Two
By TOM BOWLING
Staff Writer
"We should have won the first game, and there were no excuses
for losing the second game," Dusty Rhodes replied after his
Pacers baseball team lost a donbleheader to the Fort Lauderdale
Baseball School, 5-2, 6-4, January 24, ta Pompano.
In the first game. Fort Lauderdale scored three runs in the
second inning and jumped to a 3-0 lead. The key hit in the inning
was an RBI double by Darryl Jones, who is reportedly going to
play Triple A baseball in the spring.
The Phillies added another run in the third frame to extend their
lead to 4-0. .
The Pacers finally managed a couple runs across the plate In the
last inning. Dave Lang led the spurt with a single. With two outs,
Glenn Rogers came through witii a base hit. John Inglts then
ripped a run-scoring single to left. Sam Testa, a fine pro prospect,
singled in the Pacers' final run.
Once again, the Pacers showed a balanced hitting attack, as
nine players collected hits.
Ray Nygard was the winning pitcher for the Phillies, as he
gained his third straight victory over the JC team.
The Pacers got their bats banging in a hurry in the second game
as they erupted for three runs in the first inning.
Tom McColIough started the rally by reachhig base by an error
of the shortstop. Mike Rowe then sent a two-ont single to right,
which scored a run. Norman Holzapfel followed with an RBI
single. A base knock by Kenny Rogers accounted for the Pacers'
third run.
Fort Lauderdale was able to whittle away at JC's lead until the
Phils finally went ahead to stay. Fort Lauderdale scored a run in
the second, two in the third, two in the fourth and one in the fifth,
to take a 6-3 lead.
The Pacers managed to score a run in the sixth inning when
Testa doubled home Ken Rogers.
JC collected ten hits off the Phillies' pitching staff. Rogers led
the barrage with three hits. Testa and Rowe each added two hits.
Next action will be this afternoon Feb. 3, on the JC diamond, at
3:30 p.m.

Bob Wright's Pacers
basketball team held off a
late rally by Edison Com-
munity College Wednesday
night to claim an 88-83
victory.
It was the eleventh victory
in 17 starts this year and tied
the Pacers for second place
in Division IV, pending the
results of Saturday night's
contest against Broward
North.
JC combined an improved
defense and excellent scor-
ing by Ron Cunningham,
Gus Poyastro, and Don
Burns to knock off the
division leaders.
With the Pacer guards
providing the scoring, JC
rocketed to a 12-0 lead early
in the first half. Finally
Edison's Greg Brinson drop-
ped in a "cheap" jumper and
the Buccaneers were on the
scoreboard.
Mid-way through the half,
the Pacers, up by as many as
18 points, were plagued by
fouls and turnovers and
Edison spurted to close the
gap to 12 points at the
half-time intermission.
Edison made their final
move of the night with 8:42
left in the ballgame. A
technical foul called on
Buccaneers Adams ignited

off 12 straight points.
The entire game was
played right on the line with
1:50 seconds to go in the
game as the Buccaneers
inched within two points ol
the Pacers, 83-

However, Poyastro exten-
ded his 6'6" frame to tip in a
key bucket, and Cunningham
scored two free throws when
he was intentionally fouled
on a fly pattern to give the
Pacers the must win.
Edison averaged 90.6
points per game on the
season and 77.6 defensively.
Bill Brandon said, "We
held them to 29 points in the
first half."
Wright echoed, "They can
shoot though - 66 percent in
the second half."
Cunningham led all scor-
ers with 20, followed by
Poyastro's 17andBurtis' 16.
Poyastro and William Hall
each had 9 rebounds,
"We're now taking one
game at a time, not thinking
about the state tourna-
ments," said Wright.
"Hall's responsibility was
to hold (Len) Sanders to 10
points and 10 rebounds, and
he did just that.
"When we played the way
we were supposed to play,
we were in charge of the
situation.
According to Wright, the
only reason he seemed
subdued on the bench was
not his fault at all.
"We had the same two
officials at Miami-Dade
North last Saturday.
Sometimes you have to scout
(he officials more than the
teams."
The next action for the JC
basketball team is Wednes-
day night at Miami-Dade

Lack Of Communication
Buckley Had A Choice . . .
By ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Student Giivernment special elections
were postponed last week because no
voting machines arrived Thursday
iiKirniiig.
It was the third time dates were
clianged for the election, featuring
constitutional amendments and three
yes or no questions. SG now plans to
hold the elections February 17, 18 and
19.
SG Vice President Dolor Ginchereau
explained the problem at the Senate
meeting last Thursday.
"Something beyond oui- control went
wrong," he explained. "We assumed
Jackie Winchester [County Supervisor
of Elections] had all the necessary
information, meaning the ballot and
letter requesting the voting machines.
We learned this morning this was not
so."
Secretary of Elections Mark Graham
was supposed to see that Winchester
Destroys SG Election
received this information.
Ginchereau said he was going to
"take the election into my hands" and
contact Winchester immediately.
"I extend apologies to the student
body," lie said. "We're hoping to have
the elections next week."
Supervisor of Elections Winchester
said she did not receive a written
request for the voting machines, but
that someone from JC made an oral
request about a month ago. He was told
he must make a written request with the
information to be put on the ballot
included.
"We never heard anything more,"
she said.
Secretary of Elections Mark Graham
said he mailed the request for the
machines "sometime last month".
"Either it didn't get there or some
clerical error was made," he suggested.
When asked if he had a copy of the
letter, he said he did not.
"It didn't occur to me at the time,"
he said. "It didn't seem that serious.
There was no real hurry in this straw
ballot election," Graham added.
Graham has neglected to check his
SG mailbox which has become
overloaded with papers.
SG President Tory Buckley said he"
"instructed the Secretary of Elections to
make a written request to the
Supervisor of Elections," and was told
it was taken care of.
When asked If it was customary to
have a copy of such a letter he said,
"Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.
I didn't think it was pertinent to have it
in my hand. I took his work for it."
SG officers discovered around 9:00
Thursday morning that the machines
were not coming. Posters which had
been put up the night before
announcing the election were taken
down.
Although a printed ballot could have
been used, Buckley decided not to
because "it's much easier to do it by
machine and its safer," Buckley said.

Secretary of the Army Howard (Bo)
Callaway, spoke to a group of high
school and college administrators,
February 3, in the JC Food Services
Building.
Callaway was here to promote Project
AHEAD (Army Help for Education and
Development). The program is
designed to permit an army recruit to
enroll in a college of his choice at the
same time he enlists in the Army,
"Project AHEAD will help the Army
to have a ready, well-disciplined,
trained service, through the cooperation
of a number of quality colleges in each
community," Callaway said.
The army pays 75 per cent of the fees
for courses taken in the service. Project
AHEAD 'was developed 18 months ago
and has 800 colleges participating
throughout the country. JC is the first
college in southeast Florida to
participate in the new program.
"This program will give high school
graduates an opportunity to continue
their education and gain maturity while
getting paid for their army job,"
Callaway added, "We're aiming this
program at the top of the high school
class, the valedictorian, and the top
students, the quality market."
"A high school senior can sign up
now with delayed entry into the army,
and come in after graduation,"
continued Callaway. "The soldier. is
more likely to know what he wants to do
with his life after his enlistment is up,
and will be a far more valuable citizen
tor the rest of his life."

JC Students Join Uncle Sam
By WINNIE KNIGHTON
Staff Writer
Seven JC students have
answered "Uncle Sam's" plea
for enlistees in the volunteer
Army. Something new with this
branch of the service is Project
Ahead which offers students an
opportunity to continue their
college education while serving
actively.
No matter where (hey are
sent, the student-soldiers are
provided with academic coun-
seling and may transfer
approved course work to the
"home college". JC was the
first such school in Southeastern
Florida to have students sign up
for this project.
1 he t\\o women and five men
enlistees from here are
Margaret A. Milligan, 18; Joan
Hubacek, 22; James Shore, 18;
Michael Mourer, 18; Norman
Wright, 21; Simmuel Small. 19;
and Fant Walker, 20.
The group was accompanied
by Capt. William Porter, area
commander for recruiting, and
SFC Joe J. Bladin, army
recruiter, both from the West
Palm Beach office.
Those participating in this
arrangement will receive 75-100
percent of the tuition for
courses, and when he or she
gets out of the service, they will
be eligible for the G.l. I^an,
according to Capt. Porter.
Miss Milligan iias signed up

sta\' in at least three years. She
has completed one semester at

Ex-Senator Terry Brisson
Maxwell: Maintain
Normal Enrollment
By BRIAN CROWLEY
Editor
Students may be denied enrollnient for the first time in JC's
history. The state has ordered a budget cut of $169,000 and £)]•
Harold C. Manor, president of JC, has proposed limited enrollment
for the Spring I and Spring II terms.
" At a time like this , with high unemployment, to limit enrollment
at the college is the worst possible strategy. We should maintain
normal enrollment and encourage additional enrollment," states
Alan Maxwell a member of the United Faculty of PBJC.
Maxwell is deeply concerned about the effects of the budget cut
and questions the validity of JC's fiscal "emergency". Claiming
that $169,000 represents only 2% of the total budget, "It Is peanuts,
we started out with a budget of $7 million and we have never spent
100% of our budget in the past" said Majtwell.

Clubs At JC On Decline
Ny ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Clubs at JC are in a crisis because few students and
faculty members want to become involved. Why is this
happening and what is causing it? Answers to these
questions differ.
There was a time at JC when clubs and activities
thrived and students had a choice of 42 different clubs.
There was something for everyone, from square
dancing clubs to sport car clubs.
Activities included water skiing, college picnics,
dances, softball and basketball games between clubs,
and faculty tug of wars.
Paul J. Glynn, Dean of Student-Personnel, beUeves
there has been a gradual decline in dabs within the
past five or six years. He cites lack of faculty
involvement and lack of student interest as prime
causes.
"This is not an individual problem," Glynn said.
"It's a nationwide problem of higher education."
He sees this decline in groups outside of schools,
including church groups and Kiwanis clubs. He said
that educators and psychologists throughout the
country are trying to find out why.
"People are less inclined to go to. groups than
before," he commented. "This is. too bad because
thejgjs so much to gain in a group. People have an
opportunity to explore their interests further.
"I think the problem in school clubs goes way back to
the student uprisings of the 60's," Glynn said. "One
element was not happy and they turned off many
professional people.
"This SG has done more toward solving this problem
than>those of the past few years," Glynn commented.
"They've tried to get the facnl^ involved by sending
letters to them abont becoming advisors. There has
been a fair response," he added.
Glynn is optimistic about the future and believes
activities are going to come back because students will
want them back.
President of Circle K, Jerry Kreucher, cited student
apathy, lack of faculty advisors, and lack of good
publicity as reasons for the decline of clubs.
"The Administration should take a more positive
attitude," Kreucher said. "Clubs don't have enough
liberties and must go through a lot of hassles to get
things done."
Kreucher said an activity period scheduled in the
middle of the day would help club membership, since
many students live far away and don't want to drive all
the way back at night.
Lack of student interest and lack of publicity are the
two biggest problems, according to Chi Sig President
Daniel Lentz.

SG Execs Approve Judges
By WINNIE KNIGHTON
Staff Writer
Eficers of Student Government now meet each
>day at 12:05 PM in the north SAC.
t the February. 2 meeting Tory S. Buckley, SG
ident, reported on the FJCSGA (Florida Junior
ege Student Government Association) Presidents'
iting held in Gainesville during weekend of January
i. Primary purpose of this session was to discuss
projects that individual districts have undertaken and to
and to make plans for the spring convention.
Indicia] board appointees were unanimously approved
as follows: James Cleare, Chief Justice, Larry Gore, Ed
Riddle, Kay Sapyta, Brian Stranb, Wayne Saldo, and
-y Swengel. This names were then sent to the
itments Committee of the Senate for interviewing,
hich a report wiU'be sent back to the Senate. This
then votes to accept or reject.
President Buckley announced that JC's campus radio
station, WRAP is working hard to get back on the air,
and SG has been requested to finance the purchase of
four new speakers for the cafeteria. It has been
determined that present equipment in that area is too
badly worn to regulate properly. Action will be taken on
this matter after more information is secured from
WRAP.
Aproposal to purchase two turntables and covers for the
SG sound system was tabled pending further discussion
with Dean Tate. This equipment would cost $155.85 and
would complete the sound system needed during movie
intermissions and other social activities.
Approval of $2,500 for Winter Frolics Concert
scheduled for February 16 was reconsidered and by
special action it was withdrawn. Buckley added he was

C. Manor, and if Manor approves, will then ask the
Board for further aition.
said. "If there isn't .interest within a club there won't
be interest without it.
"People are lazy and not willing to work for
something," he explained. "I think dope had a lot to
do with it. It breeds disinterest."
Lentz believes that clubs should work together for
change and suggested an Inter-Club Committee.
Lt. Commander of Chi Sig, Jim Miller, said people do
not want to get involved, clubs don't have the support
of the school, there's trouble with advertisement, and
there are too many rules and regulations.
Walker Graham, Advisor to the college literary
magazine, Media, believes many clubs will eventuafly
disappear. He spoke of apathy and indifference, and
added that many students must work, leaving little time
for activities.
The Science Club is not having problmes with
membership - in fact it is steadily mcreasing.
The club is "interesting and enjoyable for the
members," according to advisor Richard H. Gross.
He said that years ago there were not as many
vocational programs at JC and clubs correlated with
academic interests. The Science Club still does.
SG Vice Preesldent Dolor Ginchereau said he is
anxious to see the activity hour reinstated. He also
suggested a "release time of some kind" for advisors ,
so they can devote more time to clubs.
"Unless something is done, clubs at JC will die,"
Ginchereau said.
Ginchereau Sorry
For Election Goof
Student Government Vice President Dolor
Ginchereau apologized^ the student body and senate
Thursday about ttie toul-up on the special elections.
"I'm sorry it happened. I had no control over it, and
I'm going to do my best to correct it," he said.
SG President Tory S. Buckley vetoed a bill of
appropriations concerning JC tennis courts.
Buckley feels a committee should be established to
implement the bill and will take a lot of work to do so.
The bill 74-003 would give absolute priority of court
use to JC students showing an I.D. card. Non-students
would pay SI. 00 per hour or 50 cents if accompanied by
a student.
Referring to the election, Ginchereau added, "It's in
my hand now and I want that known."
Cafe Prices Reasonable
ByPHILNECBAUER
Staff Writer
In this day of skyrocketing food
prices, the JC cafeteria prices are
still reasonable.
According to Jay MacLees,
cafeteria manager 17 items on the
menu have remained the same price,
while one of the items has dropped
three cents and three other items
have dropped five cents since the
1972-73 school year. Many items
have been added since that time. It
used to take two pages to list the
items on the menu and now it takes
almost four, notes MacLees,
The snack bar is open bom 7 to 9
p.m. Monday through Thursday for
the night students. Ninety-five
percent of the night business comes
from the Criminal Justice Depart-
ment.
The snack bar is not open during
the day because, according to
MacLees, two lines are sufficient for
the business the cafeteria handles.
However, in the morning around 9
AM the line does get long as many
people come in for coffee. The
opening of the snack bar would not
help alleviate this problem as there
are no facilities at the snack bar to
serve coffee. When the situation
gets too bad, not only is the case
register used but also a lady at the
end of the line with a cash box to take
money.
MacLees comments that when It
comes to cleanliness, two women
and a young man are stationed on
the floor to pick up trays and clean
tables and then at noon a man comes
in to mop and do other assorted
cleaning duties.
In regard to the theft problem,
MacLees says, "trays aren't much of
a problem but we just can't keep
silverware."
Abrams Clarifies
Student Government Senator Rob Abrams who has
been working on the revision of the SG constitutuion
since the 1974 fall term said Thursday he is making
progress,
• Abrams has received constitutions from Hawaii to
Harvard but said the substance of some of them was
"king of mediocre". He said some of the 30
constitutions received were not as "exciting and
involved" as he expected.
During the fall term Abrams said the JC constitution
needed more defined articles of impeachment, and
feels he now has valuable information concerning that.
The SG executive board may set up an ad hoc
committee in lieu of the Constitutional Revisions
Committee.
Return To Chaos
One might wonder why precautions were not taken
for the election after last semester's fiasco. SG officers
could not give satisfactory answers.
Gross violations of election rules highlighted the fall
elecdons.
Graham postponed the Fall elections because of
. some candidates' withdrawals, only to find that this
was unconstitutional:
Other violations included;
■"Students were cajoled into voting.
"■Students could vote without using ID cards.
*No posters were used to notify a time change in
voting.
Booths were manned by oidy one student on several
occasions, and in one mstance a poll worker was mside
a booth without anyone around the registration table.

responsibility of the present elections, although this
responsibility should rest -with the Secretary of

Would sailing classes at JC

Reynolds stated that one time
water skiing classes were
offered at the college until the
Palm Beach County Health
Department ruled Lake Os-
borne's water unfit for human

Officials at the Health
Department stated that they
could not encourage swimming
in any of South Florida's

portions of drainage systems, as
in the case of Lake Osborne .
Cdliform bacteria levels,
which are used as an indicator of
fecal contamination, soar in
Lake Osborne following every

biologists say drainage canals
carry agricultural runoffs such
as dairy farm wastes into Lake
Osborne after they are swelled
by rain.
Housing developments, they
said, surrounding the lake and
Uning the canals which drain
tato it, are also to blame for
polluting the water. Fertilizers
and pesticides are washed into
the water from area lawns.
Health Department, officials
said they did not anticipate Lake
Osborne being declared safe for
switnming anytime in the near
future.
Dr. Reynolds said the
physical education department
"would like to reinstate courses
involving local water activities, "
but added that "JC could not

went to the poll, there was no poll. Somebody goofed.
Secretary of Elections, Marc Graham, says he notified the
Paim Beach County Supervisor of Elections about the need for
an election booth. The Beachcomber contacted the County
Supervisor and we were told that no correspondence had been
received.
Last Fall Marc Graham was responsible for another election
disaster. His inability to conduct an election is
overwhelmingly^bvious. His "I don't care" attitude that he
expressed tcfhe Beachcomber is frightening coming from a
government official.
Tory S. Buckley appointed Graham and must also share the
blame. The Beachcomber recommends that Marc Graham be
removed from his position as Secretary of Elections. Buckley
should make an effort to apologize to the student body for the
election foul-ups, and make a greater effort to appoint people
willing to do the job to his cabinet.
Education Key
State Stability
Education is the key to social progress and welfare. It is the
key that opens the doors of economic stability, racial
harmony, electoral responsibility and social awareness-.
Unfortunately, the fiscal officials of this state have decided to
change the locks.
by .-cutting the budgets of education they have jeopardized
the welfare of the most important hidustry of this state, and
it's not tourists.
Monies given to education are an investment into {he future
of this state that will yield the highest of dividends, an
enlightened and informed electorate.
To deprive schools and colleges of the necessary funding,
deprives the students of a quality education. Overcrowded
classrooms, overworked mstructors and a shortage of
educational equipment can only result in poorly trained
citizens.
Education should have the highest priority in this and every
state. The attitude that schools must depend on the state is
outdated, by now legislators must realize that between the
state and the school system there is an interdependency.
When the welfare of education falters, so does the welfare
of the state. Monies invested in education are more than
reinvested by the higher paid, intelligent graduate.
Legislators must change their priorities, education miist
keep the keys that have so successfully opened the doors of
social awareness. There is still much mote work that must be'
done.
Reform Needed
JC students have a common need - an effective Student
Government. Perhaps a Common Cause could help meet that
need.
A Common Cause Commission, that is; a group fashioned
after the national citizens' organization.
The national Common Cause group fights political
corruption, holds senators and representatives accountable
between elections and strives for congressional reforem.
A similar commission could be formed here. Members of
this group would study the functions of SG. What gets
accomplished at senate meetings? Are senators really
attempting to fill the needs of students? Questions like these
could be looked into and answered by this group. '
Such a Common Cause organization should not threaten
SG, but strengthen it. By challenging present SG methods
and giving suggestion for improvement, this group would
help prompt a more effective SG.

Tyros,Dunghill,
Muckraking?
Editor:
The Beachcomber has finally
earned enough recognition to be
placed upon the dunghill of
ftivolous scandal sheets. The
amazing tyros who are at the
helm of the Beachcomber are
attaining success at brainwash-
ing the student body with a
one-sided, biased approach of
reporting the news. These
novices have learned their
propoganda techniques well.
I realize that this group of
fledglings are only testing their
wings, but caution and
discretion is recommended, lest
they fall.
I attach very little importance
to the opinions of journalists.
They only gain influence by the
facts they make known and the
turn they give to them. Thus,
they sometimes manage to
mislead public opinion about a
man or measure.
Everything which is a
question of opinion is perfectly
free. But when a paper prints
distortions, untruths, sham and
reverts to muckraking and
mudslinging, the paper degen-
erates into a scandal sheet of
libellous gossip.

Editor:
The Beachcomber has reac-
hed a new low. In your editorial
"Ballopt Misleads", your dis-
tortion of conversation, unre-
searched leads aiid contradic-
tory logic is apparent and
abhorrent even to the unseaso-
ned reader.
True, you did say something
about the upcoming straw poll.;
you mentioned the questions,
but failed to print the complete
questions. You also adamantly
reported that you feel it "unfair
to single out one organization
for scrutiny when there might
be inquiries made about other
own opinion and, apparently, so
does the Beachcomber editor.
Nonetheless, SG is in the
midst of a number of projects
which are consuming a majority
of our time. Concentration is
being spent on an equitable
disbursement of the Student
Activity Fee and securing
adequate representation before
the District Board of Trustees.
Our work is intended to make
college life more equitable and
pleasant. These projects
directly affect all the students. I
believe that SG, which is the
sole legal reprsentative of the
students, accurately reflects the
will and needs of the student
body.
As in the past, SG will,
continue to offer a variety of
activities including movies,
coffee houses,, underwriting
community entertainment and
other special events.
SG is a viable and
instrumental voice in defenduig
the student point of view. We
are, however, only as strong as
those who support us. SG is,
above all, alive and well on
campus. ., .and working its
damnedest to serve the student
body.

Board Meetings Are Fiery
ByBILLHUTCHINS
Staff Writer
Several important topics of
discussion arose during the
meetings of JC's Board of
Trustees in November, Decem-
ber and January. Among them
were sferious accusations made
by the former superintendent of
grounds and landscaping.
Fees Considered
Continued From Pg. 1
reo.-nt meeting. Among points to be considered are: cost of
program, students' interest, constructive service to student body,
activities presented by the organiztion, purpose of activity, values
relating to philosophy, learning processes, on and off campus public
relations, scope of service, reflection on JC comparison to last
year's expenditures) and other details to be included in individual
presentations.
Each delegate will have up to thirty minutes for "pleading" his
cause. This limit may be waived if necessary. Discussion and
members' questions will be Included In the allotted sessions.
Each organization has a member and a faculty sponsor. It is
optional as to which will be their spokesman.
Monies in this fund are derived by assessing every day and night
student that register for credit courses at JC. It is controlled by
District Board of Trustees and broken down into various groups as
this controlling body decides.
At the November meeting,
biology instructor Alan Maxwell
explained that JC lab instructors
are required to teach more
hours than other instructors and
proposed an equilization of
teaching loads.
Trustees agreed to analyze
the situation should the Faculty
Senate file a report.
Also in Novermber, the
trustees approved a revision of a
policy involving Temporary
Duty Elsewhere.
According to JC President Dr.
Harold C. Manor, "In the past,
teachers applying for profess-
ional leave would have to wait
while thier requests were
transferred through Temporary
Duty Elsewhere."
Under the new arrangement
teachers may now apply for
professional leave directly
through Temporary Duty Else-
where because it now "directly
benefits the college or some
phase of the college program.'"

Superintendent of Grounds
and Landscaping Lloyd Gard-
ner, whose termination Decem-
ber 2 was verified by the board,
was stopped from addressing
the Iroard when board attorney
Richard Burke stated that it was
his opinion that Gardner was
violating board policy.
' Board rules require that
persons bringing "derogatory"
charges against anyone must
bring the charges in writing,
supported by affidavits, a week
prior to the meeting.
Deca Tries

Gardner's attorney, Joseph'
Vassallo, and Peter Panrose, an
attorney in the audience, both
took the stand successively to
argue in defense of Gardner,
but were each ruled out of order
by Burk.
The trustees later voted to
hire the firm of Hellmuth,
Obata, and Kassabaum to
develop master plans for the
Glades Campus and the North
(Palm Beach Gardens) Campus.
In January, Gardner returned
before the board to protest
"falsification of a time card" oh
Nov. 20, 1974.
Gardner also asked a series of
questions, some of which
seemed to alledge other
"criminal improprieties" in the
operation of the physical plant.
JC President Manor was
directed by Board Chairman Dr.
Edward Eissey to conduct a
thorough and complete investi-
^tion and to Teport back to the
board.

Marijuana Experience Studi
By DEBBIE THOMPSON
Staff Writer
At a time when demands for
reduced penalties and legali-
zation of marijuana are pitted
against new evidence linking
the drug to both mental and
physical disorders, the obvious
question becomes even more
complex; "What's worse -
marijuana or the laws that bust
you for it?"
In 1972, former President
Richard Nixon was quoted as
saying, "I am against legalizing
marijuana. Even if the
commission recommends it, I
will not follow that recommen-
dation."
The Presidential Commission
on Marijuana and Drug Abuse
did exactly that. In their first
report, made public in 1972, the
team unanimously recommen-
ded a "discouragement policy"
toward the drug. Better luiown
as the Shafer Report, the
committee stated, "We feel that
the private use of marijuana in
one's own home should not have
the stigma of crimminaliza-
tion."
The report also noted that
marijuana had demonstrated no
harm in their experiments,
aside for emotional instability
and psyc/iologicaJ dependence
in heavy users.
"Any psycoactive drug is
potentially harmful to the
individual depending on the
potency, frequency and de-
pendence," reported Raymond
P. Shafer, chairman of the
committee. "Marijuana is no
exception. Our studies supplied
no support to the belief that it
leads to violence while under its
influence. In fact, marijuana
may have an inhibiting effect on
aggressive impulses."
We did find, however, that it
causes users to proceed to
higher drugs, including heroin.
Anyone who uses marijuana or a
similar drug is more likely to
experiment with stronger
ones."
Shafer concluded "The com-
mittee recommends that long
term scientific research be
made. We do not think our
findings are complete and final -
they are just the basis."
Indeed, the committee was
right. On May 9,. 1974 the
Senate Subcommittee in Inter-
nal Security embarked, on a
series of hearings on the
marijuana-hashish epidemic-
hearing which would lead to
terrifying revelations about the
so-called "evil-week".
For the purpose of these
hearinigs, the subcommittee
brought together more than a
score of top-ranking medical
researchers and scientists from
six countries, and according to
former senator Edward Gurney,
chairman of the committee,
"the most distinguished panel
of experts on cannabis. . .ever
assembled at a single gather-
ing."
"On the basis of the attention
our hearings have already
received," Gurney noted, "I
believe that these hearings have
succeeded in completely shat-
tering the widespread belief
that the scientific community
looks iipon marijuana as a
relatively harmless drug."
"As I have pointed out,"
Gurney stated, "the epidemic
spread of marijuana and hashish
use has been made possible,
and even encouraged, by
widespread publicity given to
the statemtns of scientists and
lay spokesmen advocating a
more tolerant attitude toward
marijuana, and by the near
blackout of scientific writings
pointing to serious adverse
consequences."
Collectively, their testimony
pointed to the following
findings: First, that marijuana
reduces DNA synthesis thus
impeding the process of cellular
reproduction; second, that,
smoked even in small amounts,
it results in broken and
malformed chromosomes, which
opens up the possibility of
abnormal births or ■ genetic
mutations.
Third, that chronic marijuana
smoking results in a severe
reduction in male hormone
levels and sperm fount; fourth,
that a marijuana alone, or
combined with cigarette smoke,
damages lung tissues far more
rapidly than cigarette smoke
alone.
Reports show there is
evidence .of irreversible brain
damage after several years of
chronic exposure; and that even
single exposures to large doses
can lead to psychotic episodes,
while chronic use leads to
paranoid symptoms and serious
and persistant deterioration in
mental functioning.
Marijuana is a complex toxic
substance, whose principal
psychoactive component is
THC -tetrahydro cannabinol.
This substance is intensely
soluble in fat, which gives it the
ability to penetrate into all parts
of the body, including the brain,
ovary, testes, and the fetus.
This characteristic means that it
tends to persist in the human
body for long periods of time
after exposure, and accumulates
with repeated exposures.
One of the principal areas of
accumulation is the human
brain. This has been
established with radioactively
tagged. THC.
The report went on to say that
relating to its toxicity and
accumulation tendencies, regu-
lar marijuana use for a year or
two may result in irreversible
brain damage. In clincial
observation, brilliant young
people who went on prolonged
marijuana binges were not able
to recapture the same level of
mental competence they had
displayed before coming chronic
users.
In a study of 51 marijuana
smokers who averaged three
'joints' a week for four years,
the production of the immune
cella-the T-lymthocytes in the
blood was 41 percent less than
in nonsmokers.
A spokesman for the Masters
and Johnson Research Founda-
tion reported thaf'in a group of
20 males aged 18 to 28 who used
marijuana at least four times a
week for a minimum of six
months, the principal male sex
hormone, testosterone, was
found to be approximately 44
percent lower than for the
control group of men that had
never used the drug."

The final course has five more hours of dual flight and ten hours
of solo flying time. Instructors are paid S7.00 an hour for on the
ground instruction and S24.00 an hour for flying. For a total of 25
hours dual flying time at 524.00 an hour comes to S600.00, ground
instruction is a total of three hours at S7.00 an hour comes to S21
making the total cost S62I.00 with the added cost of books which are
approximately S15.00 would give a total minunum cost of S636.00 to
obtain a pilots license and meet FAA (Federal Aviation Association)
requirements. Some people would need more flying rime and
ground instruction to master fljing this would cause a raise in the
price. .

The most common type of private planes are Cessna, Piper, and
Beechcraft all which come in smgle and multi-engme styles.
These planes hold on the average four hours of fuel
approximately 21 miles per gallon at S.65 per gallon.
Milian said people are not flying as much for the sport of it during
the energy crisis but people still are using private planes for
practical means of transportation.
Flying does get you to your destination faster than an automobile
but is it cheaper?
A Crisis Line
Who's solving problems nowadays? One 24-hour service
offered by the county is called Crisis line. The organization is
a referral group for people who need answsers to confusing
social problems and invite troubled individuals to call them.
Crisis Line is a non-profit, volunteer, 24-hour, no obligation
referral group. The volunteer work 4 hours each and are
trained in a sixteen session program for recognition and
referral of social problems to local clincis and services in the
county. , Neurosis, drug addiction, phychosis, veneral
disease, divorce, and suicide are all prime topics of
discussion.
Bill Brooks, Executive Director of Crisis Lme, says that
volunteers are trained for active listening, they are instructed
not to give advice and the solution is to let the caller explain
his or her problem until they can make a realistic decision.
Sign up for a training program for volunteer will be at the
Crisis Line Volunteer Trainuig Center at 909 Fem Street on
March 10. The program will run for 8 weeks and meet everj-
Monday and Wednesday evening.
Crisis Line receives 3,500 phone calls a month, most of
them between 4 p.m. and 2 a.m. each day.
Crisis Line is county-wide and can be reached in Boca
Raton at 426-2244, Belle Glade at 996-3008, and at West
Palm, Reiviera, and Palm Beach at 832-4111.
Another program affiliated with Crisis Line is the Sunshine
Service, which calls you. This service calls mostly elderly
people by request of the person's relatives or the person.
This service provides companionship, and serves as a check
on the person who is often unattended and isolated. This
service may be reached by contacting the Crisis Lme office.
The program, was started in 1971 by clmtcal psychologist
Dr. Robert K. Alsofrom for people of any age with a problem
to have a confidential source of reference.

Bars Breed Body Language
By MUFFY MCCLUNG
Staff Writer
Deodorized, sanitized, gro-
omed and manicured, Ms.
With-it, chic, chick strolls into
Big Daddy's Lounge where she
is assured to be "never alone"
or rather, never left alone.
Body language goes hand in
hand with bars like The Wild
Side, Peter Dinkles, O'Haia's
and The Brick Balloon, where
you practically suffocate for lack
of air.D
Non-verbal communication
can be convenient, humorous,
and fun. It's fun to see how
people will react in "tight"
situations.
How does a girl squeeze
between ten men glued to the
bar in order to wet her whistle?
I have found "the dive" method
to be a ludicrous success
without suggesting a ploy. With
arms stretched out in front, a
girl can dive for a rare glimpse
of the padded bar's edge.
When she gets her drink, she
can either wait for a space to
clear and zip out, or drink it at
the bar while being jossled by
jokers, or stretch up and tip-toe
sideways like a crab with drink
You're Addicted
ByFUCKMAGER
Staff Writer
Bet you a year's supply of whatever* that you're addicted.
Drug addicts have been in the media so much that people groan at
the very mention of them. They think of the Mad Junkie, eyes
bulging, mutilated arms, constricted with rubber tubing.
Or they remember what they've heard about the within-the-law
addicts - the devotees of before-dinner martinis, a.m. coffee and
aspirin. Suddenly fat old Uncle Carl with his breakfast beer became
an addict - and in the family, yet.
The current trend is to include nearly every habit and pleasure
under the heading "addiction." Addiction can be loosely defined as
dependence on anything not essential to life that relieves anxiety by
its use and causes discomfort when it isn't there.
And by that definition, we are all addicts.
For instance, there is the Rock Nut, to which group this writer
belongs. A true rock addict wakes to his radio alarm tuned to )iis
favorite progressive FM station and drives to school or work
listening to the same. At home he's itchy and uneasy until the
stereo warms up. He scratches up extra money so he can attend the
local weekend concert.
Certain kinds of food, often with no observable value as
nourishment, grab hold of some people and won't let them go. One
girl clomps sullenly into the drug store and belligerently orders an
ice-cream sundae. Within minutes of eating that sundae she is all
smiles and ready to face the rest of the day. An overloaded, smelly
pizza gives the same kind of lift to other people.
Perhaps the most insidious, widespread addiction is that of
women to makeup. It starts so innocently. An older sister or
mother persuades the unsuspecting 13-year-old to try "just a little
mascara". She does, and decides it makes her look better, thus
lifting her spirits. By the time she's fifteen she's hooked on hard
stuff - blusher, lipstick, foundation, green and blue eyeshadow.
Outside the house she feels unprotected and uncomfortable without
her makeup, even though she probably looks better without it. This
habit becomes increasingly severe with age.
What helps you through the day? Are you wretched without your
daily dose of Debussy? Do you feel lost in the morningtintil y oifflnd
your faded jeans? Face it,--<friendl - you're an addict.

in hand, or dive back out and
into her drink. I prefer diving
in, " chugging my drink, and
diving out.
Of course, people go to bars
for the very good reason of body
contact. A liberal frame of mind
while diving for a drink at The
Brick Balloon is a must. No
matter how much manuevering
a girl does, sooner or later she'll
brush up against someone
unintentionally.
The odd thing about close
contact in a public pub is that
most people tend to ignore what
you're doing. I've gotten away
with three hot foots at
O'Harra's, In case you're
uninformed a hot foot is the
subtle joke of lighting a match
;%-^
^
under an unsuspecting pod.
The covenient uses of body
language are naturally those
movements employed to pick up
intriguing types of people.
Before using your own non-ver-
bal expressions, try testing
these tips for the types around
you.
The girl using body language
in the corner with her hands
clasped behind her head is
saying silently, "I'm avail-
able."
For the liberal girl who picks
up on guys, do your prowling
openly, don't dive for drinks,
and talk to the dude with
thumbs in his pockets.
Never pick up "the bored
spectator". That's the guy or
girl who slouches over his or her
drink, and peers out at everyone
with shifty eyes. Also beware of
"the inebriated meditator" who
contemplates the jokes on the
napkins and holds his chin in
hand. He's too far gone to
boogie even if he is cute.
Approach anyone who holds
their cigarette with the palm up.
That's a good sign that he or
she is a willing suspect.
Hard to get subjects of bar
breeds are those who hold their
hands in their lap or on the bar.
These people have things well
under control and in fact are
experiencing inner tranquility.
They won't be responsive at
first, but it's a challenge for the
more venturous viper.
A sure catch is the person
with hands held in back. These
soft sould cannot defent
themselves from amorous tigers
and tigresses.
Patient men will appreciate
the girl who stands with hands
on hips. Ms. Libbers will not,
however, enjoy the company of
a man who does the same.
These strong willed people are
authoritive in nature, and very
self assured.
When things get hectic and
hot foots are not appreciated,
use your own body language for
carousing in bars. If you're
female, cross your legs towards
that fascinating man next to
you. Even if those gorgeous
limbs are encased in jeans he'll
pick up the hint and buy you a
drink. If such subtle expression
eludes you, there are plenty of
alternatives, not to be confused
with a Frank Smith ploy. Fidget
with your empty glass, eat the
ice cubes and lick the rim. After
this noticeable behavior pick up
a cigarette and "hunt" for your
matches.
The best communicating
device I have found is to forget
social forays, find my voice and
ask one of severaj questions. If
he's a well dressed older man,
smile and enquire, "Will you
buy me a drink?" To the tight
wads, the ones clenching their
empty fists, ask, "May I buy
you a drink? ' ' My favorite fad is
to question, "Can you do the
bump?" which of course is the
body language of boogie that
needs no explanation.

Brandon Leads By Example
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
In 1973 Bill Brandon was a
senior basketball player for
Chamberlain High School in
Twinsberg, Ohio. His team
compiled a 20-2 record but lost
in the district finals of the state
tournament.
In 1974 Bill Brandon decided
he would "get to play more at a
junior college than a four-year
university," so he became a
freshman basketball player for
Palm Beach Junior College in
Lake Worth, Florida.
His team compiled a 22-7
record but lost in the state
championship game by three
points.
The 6'3" guard-forward is
captain of the 1975 Pacers and is
again on a team in contention
for state laurels. But with about
a month remaining before the
state tournament, Brandon
admits, "We haven't put it
together yet.
"We've been living on last
year's reputation," says the
poised Pacer leader. "We're
not as hungry as last year. This
year, since we're looked upon as
the top dog, we sometimes get
the notion we don't have to play
as hard."
Earlier in the season some
observers felt the loss of
graduated Ail-American Keith
Highsmith's leadership was a
factor in some of the Paeers'
losses.
"I can't make the players
play," laments Brandon. "At
the college level everybody has
to decide for themselves."
Brandon believes his role is to
set an example by "being in the
eyes of the players what they're
supposed to-be - to show people
I'm giving 110 percent in
everything"
Giving his 100-plus percent,
Brandon has averaged in double
figures, while providing a
steadying influence near the
end of contests in which the
Pacers have blown big leads - a
recurring situation Brandon
thinks could be avoided.
JC's defense must become
more aggressive, especially in
controlling the big IS-point
leads the Pacer offense had
proven it can attain, according
to Brandon. "We haven't been
sure enough of ourselves to
gamble and help out one
another," he savs.
Two other factors hindering
JC's climb in the Division IV
standings have been away
games and referees.
His team, having lost - three
out of four away games in
league play, to this . point,
Brandon comments, "Home
advantages are more psychol-
ogical than anything, else since
most teams draw small crowds.
"People have just become
accustomed to belieiving that
when you play at home you're
supposed to win."
And on referees, the
presenters of frequent Pacer
technicals, big Bill contends
that the referees do not have
enough control of the game.
Brandon has concluded they are
"very inconsistent."
' 'They let one player talk back
and will call a 'T' on another for
doing the same thing. Half the
times I've been called for a
technical I was just asking the
ref who a foul was on."
Recently JC Athletic Director
Dr. Howard Reynolds suggested
that coaches show more
restraint when complaining on
decision to combat a related

Sorise Hits No. I
As Pacers Lose
By TIMOTHY BRAY
Sports Editor
Rich Sorise may have hit the first homerun of the season for the
Pacers last Monday afternoon, but he would rather have had the
victory.
The Ft. Lauderdale Baseball School went two up on the exhibition
season with JC as they took advantage of six unearned runs for a
12-5 win.
JC jumped to a 3-0 lead early in the first inning as Glenn Rogers
had a solid basehit to centerfield, and went to third as Sam Testa
reached first on an error. Then, Sorise hit Gary Kleker's first pitch
over the leftfleld fence.
After tight-roping a double down the leftfldd line in the third.
Testa scored on a passed ball. The Pacers also picked up another
run in the fifth.
Howver, the big inning for the Phillies was the sixth. Fred
Ferrai's club picked up six unearned runs on just three hits.
Mike Papa, the Phillies' rightfielder, added two insurance runs in
the seventh as he pulled a Ross Baumgarten fasti all over the
leftfield fence.
Julian Rodreguez started for the Pacers on the mov id and was
relieved by Baumgarden in the sixth inning.
Phil Neurone commented that Rodriguez' slider "is his best
pitch."
The Ft. Lauderdale Basebnall School was originated in 1967 and
is the only baseball school of its kind in Florida,
"Basically, we get ballplayers ftom all over the country for one or
more weeks to get inspired for a scholarship or play pro ball," said
Ferrai, the school's manager and founder.
"We're affiliated with the Phillies because I'm a scout."
When asked about the Pacers' chances in the division, Neurone
said, "They're a good hitting ballclub, and they've got an excellent
chance."
Ferrai has been most impressed with the Pacers' nucleus.
"Dusty Rhodes has done a real fine job. They'll hold their own."
The Phillies invade the main campus diamond today, Feb. 10, at
3:00 p.m. for an exhibition game.

scored on a power move and the
Pacers were never denied.

by five and six points
throughout the first half. Burns
hit a 25 foot jumper at the
buzzer to give the Pacers a 50-39
half time lead.
Brandon and Burns collected
successive buckets as JC
extended their lead to 10 points
midway through the .second
half.
Due to the aggressive
defense, Mike Gibbs, William
Hall, and Burns picked up their
fourth foul in the later part of
the game.
Chip Boes' club then started
taking the ball to the hoop and
chipped away at the Pacers
lead.
Barracuda guard Glenn Mon-
roe hit a field goal with 9 left to
pull them within four points,
67-64.
But, the Pacers answered
with a lunging assist by Burns
on a Brandon bucket.
Victor Dubose checked in with
Burns at the 1:26 mark- and hit
two field goals for a 92-75.
"When we called time out
with about 11/2 minutes left
and put Burns one-on-one, the
ball game was over," stated an
overjoyed Wright in the locker
room after the win.
Three other players scored in
double digits behind Burns and
Brandon. Richard Nelson sank
17, with Gibbs acrobatically
hitting for 11. Victor Dubose hit
five quick goals as a substitute.
"We hit eight free throws in
the last minute," said Wright.
The Pacers were 15 for 19 for
the night from the charity line.
Palm Beach's record is 14-6
overall, and 6-3 in conference
play pending the results of last
Saturday night's contest at John
F. Kennedy Health Center on
the Dade-South campus,
Brandon summed up the
entire \yeek by saying, "What

By PHILIP NEUBAUER

The JC women's golf team is having trouble getting off the first
tee. Five girls were on the team during the fall term but two of them
quit to play Softball this terra, according to Howard Reynolds, JC
athletic director.
If JC is unable to have a complete team, then the girls will play as
individuals representing JC. The girls really want to play and
therefore should have the opportunity, comments Reynolds.
The girls include Colleen Walker, from nearby John I Leonard
High School, whom Reynclds rates as an extremely, good golfer.
Linda Moore, from Atlantic High School in Delray, is also a fine
golfer according to Reynolds. The third member is Sarah Marsh,
also from Atlantic, whom Reynolds says has a lot of potential. The
first match is the University of Miami Invitational scheduled for
Februaiy 24 and 25.

protect us." argues Brandon.
The "technical" situation was
discussed in the Pacers'
locker-room before the Wed-
nesday, January 29, home game
with Edison Community Coll-
ege.
JC Coach Bob Wright knew
that the referees that particular
night were quick when it came
to calling technicals, so he
cautioned the team to remain on
the bench and practice silence.
After the 88-83 victory, in
which no Pacer technicals were
called, Brandon was removing
his red and blue striped
tknee-high socks, which are worn
because he couldn't find any
other color in that length.
Turning to Coach Wright,
Brandon boasted, "1 sure kept
my boys. quiet tonight. Coach"!
"You sure did, Bill," said
Wright with a grin.

Rogers: Improve Health
ByJOELTANEN
News Editor
Congressman Paul Rogers
(Dem.-West Palm Beach) was
guest speaker on the Confer-
ence on Aging Seminar held
Tuesday in the JC Food Services
Building.
Rogers, who has served 11
terms in Congress and five
years as chairman of the House
Public Health and Environment
Snb-coniinittee, spoke with
enthusiasm on "Scope of Health
Care Legislation for the Aged."
Congressman Rogers feels
hospital personnel should work
as a team.
He said nursing will have to
take greater responsibility in
heahh care delivery.
"There is a shortage of
manpower, and all our studies
have indicated that."
Rogers stressed the possibil-
ity of nutrition being taught in
medical school, and said no
doctor he ever visited asked
questions concerning nutritional
food value.
He said nursing homes are.
most expensive in health care.
"We've got to have greater
emphasis on home care rather
than the old approach we used
of putting them [aged] in
institutions."
He feels the quality of nursing
homes needs to be upgraded
throughout the nation.
"We need help, desperately,
for health in this nation," he
added.
"We need help desperately," says Rogers.

Presentations began Tuesday at the Activity Fee Committee
meeting, as Advisor Walker Graham of the "Media" and student
Frank Smith outlined their needs for the ensuing year.Examples of
students' works which had been published in previous editions were
read, and a question-answer session followed.
Graham noted that Media is the only outlet for literary minded
students to have original material printed and bound into
permanent book form,
SG Vice President Dolor Ginchereau, Assemblies representative,
asked if student response had increased since budget was raised
about two years ago. Graham stated figures that reflected an
increase of 100% in number of articles submitted for evaluation.
This prompted the question of how offerings are selected for
publication since space is limited in the Media.
After it was explained that an editorial board decides important
matter of screening, SG Senator Rob Abraras, asked who serves on
such a board, Volunteers are used in choosing articles for
publication and all material is numbered to encourage fairness,
according to Graham.
This literary magazine has won top awards in eight categories in
competition wrth other colleges in its class. Media does not
anticipate a need for increasing percentage of fees unless
enrollment drops, which automatically decreases amount of monies
available under this system. A larger book or added color however,
would increase cost of production. They distributed 3,000 copies last
year at approximate overhead of 60c each.
Next group questioned by the committee was the Beachcomber.
Advisor Charles McCreight and Editor Brian E. Crowley, were hi
accord on issnes presented. It is their consensus that the printed
page reaches more of the student popnlus than any other channel.
Crowley mentioned three primary areas covered in the 'Comber
as: publication, public relations and service to student body. He also
stressed that over the years the paper has captured over twenty
state and national awards for its superiority.
When questioned about advertising McCreight answered, "Our
ad policy was sstftW sksd under the former structure of District
Board ot Trustees and when this body was reorganized h notified
any affected parties of policy changes. The 'Comber has never
received any such notice from the board.
"A large percentage of the ad money is used to increase number
of printed pages and give honorariums to students on the staff," he
said. Student ads are discounted but receive same consideration as

Mid-Term Mailing Ceases

Mid-term grade slips for each
class are to be distributed to JC

passed by the Faculty Senate on

By handing out grade cards,
instead of mailing them, 5750 in

"There's nothing new cr
different in this procedure," he
said. "It's a cvminwn pranict- in
some colleges."
The Facuhv Senate originally
discussed posting grades by
Social Security number, but this
idea was rejected because of an
inadequate number of buileiis
boards and the possibisity that
dissatisfied students might tear
down the grades.

Students Made New Systems
By MR. DALE WASBURN
Director of Data Processing
All students at JC are familiar
ivitii tlie On-Line Registration
System, but very few know tfiat
the entire system was designed
and programmed by former JC
students.
It has been a tremendous
accomplishment for these young
men and women to have
designed such a complete and
sophisticated system. At the
present time colleges from
various parts of the United
States are contacting our school
about using the registration
system, and our young people
are being recognized as
autliorities in this area.
The computerized registra-
tion system that they have
EDITORIAL
Is Unisex World
Goal Of ERA?
Women can never be lilce men! That rather obvious
understatement is the backbone of the Anti-Equal Rights
Amendment movement in this state.
It'sall becoming very boring. The "Anti" threaten us with a
unisex world in which alf distinctions between men and women will
be outlawed. Both sexes will be forced to share the same
bathrooms, clothes and foxholes. Families will be destroyed by
working mothers and homosexual weddings will be the new "big
business" of the future.
Scare tactics like these are heard every day and unfortunately all
they do is cloud the real issues of the Equal Rights Amendments.
No constitutional amendment has ever been passed without
controversy. Alt have required Judicial interpretation.
ERA can only be strengthened by judicial interpretation. The idea
that the judiciary would permit joint bathroom facilities is
ridiculous.
Reasonable study of the ERA demonstrates benefits that may be
realized by both men and women; (such as widowers being
permitted to collect tfieir wives social security benefits which they
cannot do now).
ERA is long overdue. Women in this state should be given the
same opportunities as men in all aspects of life. Florida legislators
have already missed the opportunity to be a leader in the growth of
this amendment, but it is not to late to hitch a ride.
"Cvxiito^^^'^ ^"^"^^
ci
designed incorporates many of
the latest concepts used in the
computer field. The system has
been designed so that the IBM
computer can perform' several
taslis simultaneously. While
students are being scheduled,
the college business department
is using video terminals to
process daily financial transac-
tions. Student programs and
other operations can be
performed at the same time
also.
Not only have our former
students made a contribution tc
the computer fitld, they have
provided suggestions as to how
oiir courses should be taught,
which over the years have been
incorporated into the curricu-
lum. Essentially the students'
suggestions have made the
laboratory experience simulate,
as much as possible, actual job
experience. Because the Data
Processing students have such
experience, some of the
advanced students are hired as
student assistants in our
programming area.
One of the more important
satisfactions of teaching is to
see the success which your
students obtain as they proceed
in their careers. Students may
not always appreciate the
methods their teacher may
employ in order to get the
necessary results required to
achieve success, but after they
enter into the business
community, they readily under-
stand why our curriculum
emphasizes real job experience.
I consider my department's
success to be equally attributed
to rny co-workers as well as my
students.
Clubs Upswinging
5 1 Percent
Editor:
The time of being an
individual is slowly becoming
■'not in," Clubs of social nature
are on the upswing, contrary to
a recent article on Feb. 10
entitled "Clubs At JC On
Decline."
There are clubs being formed
ntnv w hich are relevant, such as
the new Hospitality Club in the
Hotel and Restaurant Manage-
ment Program. This club has
m er 30 charter members.
Chi Sig fraternity has 10
pledges in this wmter term. This
is seven more than the past five
years.
The key word in our opinion is
"relevance." If students do not
want to panicipate or show up at
baseball games today, why
should we continue to fund
them?
Just for the heck of it,
Debating ERA
J. Michele NoHer-
imagine today that students
might prefer to parachute from
an airplane or maybe some old
interest like water skiing, which
has declined, may be rekindled.
We see activities being
crammed down students'
throats. It's like taxation
without representation. Clubs
and sports which are no longer
relevant continue to justify their
existence because they have
always been here. Examples are
the baseball team, sailing club,
SG, concerts, etc. They use
inflation as an excuse to ask for
additional funding and thus
waste valuable student funds,
SG has the responsibility of
flndmg out what is a waste of
money, what students want,
how many activities are no
longer relevant and then fight
for the students through proper
Board of Trustees.
This, I believe, is a concern of
many students. Once SG and
clubs are relevant many more
students will participate.
Self-interested survival has
become the norm of student
activities when requesting
funding. If clubs, organizations
and SG fee! they are responsive
to student needs they have a
role to fulfill.
In the past clubs competed for
SG representation. They felt a
part of the overall picture of
extra-curricular activities. It is
only because of traditions and
antiquated attitudes, bogged
down in old fashioned bureau-
cracy that JC clubs might be
'mistakenly tagged "on the
decline."

The Equal Rights Amendment will soon reappear before
the Florida Legislature. In conjunction with this, Edwin Pugh,
a social science instructor, brought this issue before JC
students.
Elsie Leviton, the representative from the League of
Women Voters, stated that we are wasting 51 per cent of our
nation's human resources by allowing discriminatory laws
and practices to continue. One-third of the female work force
are heads of families who are earning far less than their male
counterparts.
Zinna Mailer, the representative for the Citizens Coalition
to Defeat ERA, stated that ERA is undefined, dangerous and
unnecessary. Ms. Mailer felt that the ERA would force
women to contribute 50 per cent of a household's income, lift
the ban on homosexual marriages and destroy the practice of
separate toilet and shower facilities.
The ERA reads, "Equality of rights under the law shall not
be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on
account of sex."
According to the National Association of Women Lawyers,
"ERA is necessary because women have never been accorded
legal status as persons or guaranteed equal protection of the
law under the fifth and fourteenth amendments."
And, according to the Senate Judiciary Committee, "...
sex discrimination is still more the nde than the exception.
Much [discrimination] is attributable to governmental action
both in maintaining archaic discriminatory laws and in
perpetuating discriminatory practices in employment,
education and other areas . . . that a majority of our
population should be subjected to the indignities and
limitations of second class citizenship is a fundamental affront
to personal human liberty."
The ERA will invalidate all discriminatory laws that pertain
to men and women. It will not affect any social relationships
between adults. It will not make drafting of women automatic;
Congress already has the power to draft women. The ERA, in
itself, cannot be said to affect anything absolutely, other than
sexist laws. Test cases will decide what other impact ERA
might have.
Thirty-three states have passed ERA, five more are
needed. Susan B. Anthony wrote this amendment
approximately 75 years ago. At the time she remarked, "Men
- their rights and nothing more; women - their rights and
nothing less."
We will pass this amendment eventually.

Instructor Roy Bell, head of
Intramural Board, uses the ad
service of the 'Comber
extensively. He had this to say
about paying for student ads:
"First of all, the use of
advertising provides training. I
believe that paying for ads is
comparable to paying admission
to basketball games.
"It also gives organizations
an opportunity to control what is
printed and likewise gives
newspaper power to control
unfavorable ads. This is a very
good method of communication
with students, and I definitely
do not feel it is misuse of the
student activity fee. We should
not be forced to rely wholly on
the news, as it would soon
became no more than a bulletin
board."
Both evening and day
students are writers and
photographers for the student
paper. It is a learning process
for them and comes under
classification of workshop. This
means that the school is
reimbursed for some of the
overhead expenses incurred by
this activity.
Student Government Presi-
dent Tory S. Buckley, proposed
a motion to continue evaluation
of the 'Comber when it
reconvenes at 1:30 p.m.
tomorrow. This motion being
carried brought the session to a

We are living in the most
picture-conscious age the world has
ever known I
The photography profession is barely
a century old, yet pictures are by far the
most powerful force in the world of
communications today. Many wonder
why making pictures has suddenly
become "the" thing to do.
"There is a growing interest in the
arts in general," explains Mr. Patrick
Slatery, JC's young, energetic Art
instructor. "Young people today are not
concerned with just "making it;" they
want to be both happy with themselves
and successful at the same time."
" Also, ' ' he added, "more parents are
letting their kids make up their own
minds.'-'
According to Slatery, there are two
types of students, written and visually
orientated ones.
"Some people are more comfortable
with words while others use their visual
facilities and their designing talents to
do what they like best," he said.

Frankly Speaking
Science Fiction Lives
— Frank Snnith
. "Do you think that science fiction is very interesting?" David
"Interesting!?!" Malcolm exclaimed, "certainly it's
interesting!" Jules Verne captured the minds and imaginations of
millions of readers with books like, "20,000 Leagues Under The
Sea," "Around The World In 80 Days" and others in which he
made accurate predictions of the future.
"Like what," queried David.
"He predicted guided missiles, TV telephones, motion pictures
submarines and helicopters!" Malcolm stated emphatically.
Is that all?" David questioned snidely.
"Not really." Answered Malcolm just as snidely, "He also
predicted prefabricated mass housing, synthetic materials, air
pollution, and climate control. He did this predicting way back in
the late 1800's!!" "
"Wow," exclaimed David.
"Looking deeper into predictions, H.G. Wells was another
technological prophet, " said Malcolm .
"Oh yeah?" encouraged David.
Certainly. Here, let me read from this book . . ." started
Malcolm.
"What book?" interrupted David.
" . . 'The World Set Free"' continued Malcolm, "Wells writes,
'Nothing would have been more obvious to the people of the early
twentieth century than the rapidity with which war was becoming
impossible. And as certainly they did not see it. They did not see it
until the atomic bombs burst in their fumbling hands."'
"Golly, that nice writing," said David. "What was that written,
1950?"
"No, it was written in 1914!" said Malcolm.
"1914!? That's before atomic bombs were invented!
Interesting," stated David.
"I thought you'd think so." suggested Malcolm. "Why this
sudden interest in science fiction anyway?" asked Malcolm.
"They're starting a club," said David.
"What club?" asked Malcolm.
"A club John Ellis is trying to start, it's gonna have people get
together, writers, artists to examine and create science fiction
scenes, it will be a workshop and club combined and may even put
out a magazine ..."
"Who's John Ellis?" asked Malcohn.
"He's a writer, he's published a novel, and writes for magazines,
he's really good and he's trying to start this club . . ." babbled
David.
"What's his phone number, do you know?" asked Malcolm.
"Um . . . 832-9852," said David. "Why?"
"Well, I've got this idea for a science fiction prediction," said
Malcolm.
"What's that?" asked David.

Aien Depend On Tower Control For Safety
controllers do not keep planes in
proper sequence this can cause
delays, confusion and accidents.
Still other controllers are busy
with aircraft in the general
vicinity keeping them at a safe
altitude and on a correct path as
not to interfere with other
aircraft. Within this job all
controllers must be aware of
conditions such as sky condi-
tion, visibility, wind, tempera-
ture and altimeter reading to .
inform pilots of such conditions
which might interfere with the
aircraft.
All of the tower controllers
help aid in unusual situations
such as search and rescue
operations, helping disoriented .
pilots, talking down a person
who is forced to fly an aircraft
due to an emergency as well as
keeping a check on overdue
flights.
Air Traffic Controllers are
constantly busy and their jobs
are very hectic ones. A medical
report has shown that air traffic
controllers have a very high
ulcer rate caused by the extreme
tension. Essential decisions are
being made every minute,
decisions that could mean the
loss of many lives if they prove
to be incorrect. 1 he knowledge
of this alone is a heavy burden
upon controllers.
Supervisor Ray Schulze
speaks of the individuals own
responsibilities, "Each position
is demanding in its own self
because of the importance of the
job and the accompaning
decisions."
The basic beginning pay rate
is approximately $10,000 a year
and can reach to $23,000 a year
or more in an upper level job in
a busier airport. Controller Ed
Gray remarked "Career ad-
vancements are just unlimited
to anyone who has the desire to
move on and up."
Palm Beach International
Airport Tower is a government
organization run under FAA
(Federal Aviation Association)
standards, therefore, controllers
retire with government pen-
sions. As in any job, experience
is of great aid. This experience
is usually obtained in the
military, however experience is
not a requirement and is waived
with two years of college and a
civil service qualification exam.
Further training required of
applicants with and without
experience. Oklahoma City is a
training center which provides
radar and non-radar training.
Non-radar training is essenti-
al because of the many airport
facilities which do not have
radar and the possibility of
radar failure. Then applicants
go on to a tower for on the job
control tower training.
I witnessed while in the tower
the cooperation of the control-
lers with the Coast Guard in
rescue operations for an aircraft
reported to have caught on fire
and crashed in the waters o£f
Stuart and within the hour the
sole passenger the pilot was
rescued. Situations like this are
just part of the duties of a
controller.
Just watching the various
aircraft and listening to
communications between con-
trollers and pilots is an
experience in itself. Controllers
have a language all their own
and decipering it is an art.
Amid the murmurings and
tension all the controllers
manage to keep this from
exposing itself in disputes with
others in the tower.
Controller Ed Gray when
asked if his job was a challenge
to him he replied with
enthusiasm, "I think it's the
best job in the world."

The tower Is Impressive from
without and from within. The
view outside is geometric, the
view from inside is 360
degrees of vantage point
vision. This important facility
houses important workers.

Dubious Calls ZonkJC
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Staff Writer
A questionable backcourt violation gave Miami-Dade
South the adrenalin and momentum to squeak past
Palm Beach in Miami last Wednesday night, 92-90.
JC Coach Bob Wright, down by two at the time,
exclaimed, "We put the big D on them and were
penalized."
With 27 seconds showing on the clock, the Jaguars
put the ball in play. JC trapped Isaac Coats near the ten
second line when one official called a backcourt
violation.
At the outset, Dade-South Head Coach Stan Evans,
protested. Eighteen seconds remained on the
scoreboard clock, and after a large conference with the
timer the officials reversed their decision.
After the defeat, Dr. Howard Reynolds, JC athletic
director, pointed out, "The timer has no prerogative to
call a ten second, five second, or a three second
violation."
"They [the officials] actually gave them twenty

Tennis Pro Aids
JC'sNetters
ByLORIHILLEBRAND
Staff Writer
The men's tennis team got a little help from a pro last Thursday,
when they went to Mead Raquette Club to see head pro Fred
Fleming.
Coach Harris McGirt, member of the club, asked Fleming for the
time, and considers him "one of the foremost teaching pros in the
nation." McGirt felt that it would be an asset for the team to learn
another strategy instead of knowing only one, "especially from
someone as reknown as Fleming."
The team first received a one-hour lecture from Fleming on the
psychology of the game, and tournament play. They then worked on
drills he set up, such as forehand and serving drills, for 40 minutes.
Then Fleming video-taped them in action on the court, and there
was a period of critical analysis of their play on the tapes.
"It was very much a success," said McGirt. "We enjoyed
ourselves." He felt that it was good to be in the atmosphere of the
club, to give the team "a little different slant on things."
McGirt felt appreciative toward Reming, saying that one lesson
with him was usually $20 or $30 an hour. He noted Fleming as being
"a tremendous asset to the community."

seconds to get the ball across the line," commented
Wright.
JC jumped to a 10-4 lead but the Jaguars went ahead
for the first time on a Dave Rollins jumper with the
J5i38 left in the first half.
The lead changed hands six times in 13 minutes.
Palm Beach held on to a 48-47 half time lead with a
short jumper by Poyastro.
The Pacers came out red hot in the second half,
building an eleven point lead with approximately six
minutes to go in the game.
Yet, the Jaguars outscored JC 23-10 down the
stretch.
This was "typical of all the ballgames this year,"
commented Reynolds. "We build a lead and cannot
retain it.
"We played well enough to win," said Wright, "as
the scorebook shows." The Pacers hit five more field
goals, and grabbed 28 more rebounds than
Dade-South.
The Pacers had five men in double figures. Bill
Brandon cashed in 20; Don Burns, 16; Mike Gibbs, 14;
and Gus Poyastro and Victor Dubose with 12 each.
Coats, Webster and Tatum were all over 20 for
Dade-South.
Reflecting on the inability to play team ball, Wright
said, "They're a bunch of individuals and they'll be
individuals till the day they die."
The Pacers have won one away game in the division,
out-classing Miami-Dade Downtown.
Continuing to discuss the last 18 second, Wright
commented dejectedly, "They [officials] are supposed
tn be honest and everything ...
"Everytime we touch somebody we get called for a
foul.
"What are you going to do?"
The Pacers make their final regular season
appearance at home tonight, Feb. 17, against
Miami-Dade North. Tip-off is 7:30 p.m. with students

"We can only improve," said
a dejected Pat Kelly, after the
Pacer golf team shot a first
round 313 that left them in sixth
place in the Valencia Invitation-
al Golf Tournament at Orlando.
Unfortunately, the team shot
the same 313 total the second
round and finished seventh out
of twelve teams.
The first round was played
over the tight Orange Tree C.C.
course. Mike Sim, the number
one player for the Pacers, tied
for the first round lead with a
72.
Sim started the second round
with a seven on the par five 1st
hole, then got back into the lead
, before hitting out-of-bounds and
taking a seven on the par four
13th. He then three putted on
seventeen and ended up with a
76 for a 148 total.
Sim finished in a four way tie
for second and lost to a birdie on
the first hole for the second
place trophy.

I One Side Of Williams |
California Angels skipper
Dick Williams poses to baseball
fans as a very controversial
manager.
Yet there is another side to
the man who won the World
Series twice as the pilot of the
Oakland A's.
Williams is a determined and
dedicated professional manager
trying to get the maximum
amount of talent from his
players.
A Riviera Beach resident in
the off season, Williams
recently took part in a baseball
clinic at MacArthur Field
sponsored by the MacArthur
Field Baseball Association.
Williams' baseball philosophy
goes back to the Dodgers, one of
two teams that dominated
baseball in the 1950's.
"Baseball is the finest
professional sport," commented
Williams. "If you're trying to
win something, such as the
series, you got to bear down all
the way."

Staff Writer
Dusty Rhodes, coach of the
Pacers' baseball team, is
anxious for the start of the 1975
Junior College baseball season.
"I want to win every game
and win the National Cham-
pionship. This would be
achieving something that no one
has ever accomplished before,"
replied an optimistic Rhodes.
"If we come in second place, we
might as well finish last. We
have the talent to win in all,"
slated Rhodes.
.The Pacers play nearly a 50
game schedule with colleges as
far as New York coming to play
them. On April 10, Rhodes'
team plays one of the finest
teams in the entire country, the
University of Miami.
JC is one of seven teams
which represent the Division IV
conference. The six other teams
in the division are Miami-Dade
North, Miami-Dade South,
Miami-Dade Downtown, Bro-
ward, Indian River and Edison.
"Dade North and Dade South
are the teams to beat in our
division," said Rhodes. "Dade
North has won the division more
than anyone else, so if I had to
narrow it down to one team I
guess it would be them," he
answered.
"But don't be mistaken, man
for man we , have more , good
hitters than anyone else and I
really believe we're going to
take the division," replied the
confident coach.
The Facers are going to play
each game very offensive
minded. "For the first five or six
inwings, we're going to run as
much as possible and score as
many runs as possible," Rhodes
commented. "Indian River and
Edison have a couple of good
catchers, but other than that, I
don't see any reason why we
won't be able to steal a lot of
. bases," he said.
"Pitching is probably our
main concern. It was progress-
ing pretty well until last week's
game against Fort Lauderdale,"
said Rhodes. (Pacers lost, 12-5)
Rhodes explained that he
probably won't use any set 3 or
4 man starting rotation.
"We have seven pitchers and
ail of them will be used to start
and relieve," he stated.
The Pacers' opening Division
IV game is slated for -February
21 , at Broward.
manager of the Oakland A's,
brought the hard-nosed mana-
ger to the West Coast. Within
two years the A's went from
fourth to first place in the
American League West and won
the World Series defeating the
much favored Cincinnati Reds.
"In pro ball, you're supposed
(0 go by the book. I have been in
baseball 23 years and I have
never seen that book.
"You must manage by your
own convictions. To improve
your ballclub, stressing funda-
mentals is essential. ' '
Referring to the American
League Western Division,
Williams envisions a good battle
for the flag.
"Since Catfish (Jim Hunter)
switched to the East, we'll
(Angels) be contenders." He
also implied that the A's would
not dominate the division as in
the past four years.
Sporting a mustache and a
floral print shirt, Williams
continued, "Last year (Charles
0.) Finley and I had our little
difficulties." Williams resigned
as manager, but Finley legally
blocked him in his bid to
manage the New York Yankees.
Naturally, the Yanks needed a
manager at the beginning of the
season, not six months later, so
they gave up Williams' contract
and hired Bill Virdon.
Williams, in the long run, sat
out of baseball for the six
months, then signed a three and
one half year, 5350,000 contract
with the troubled California
Angels.
Dick Williams, manager of the California Angels, won the
World Series twice as the pilot of the Oakland A's. He is a
winter resident of Riviera Beach.
Late last year, Jim Hunter
was traded by the Oakland A's
to New York for approximately
3.7 million dollars. Williams
coached "Catfish" for four
years.
"You've heard of the coimtry ■
folks going to the city. Well, the
city slickers went to the country.

given him that much money."

it will fizzle out sooner or later.
"There is a move towards

good instruction from Eddie
Stankey at South Alabama.
Eventually baseball is going to
come to this."
Williams manages in the
American League which used
the Designated Hitter.
"The DH rule has its good
points and bad points. The DH
will keep the Tommy Davis*, the
Al Kaline's, the Tony Oliva's,
the Frank Robinson's around a
little longer."

Trustees Turn Bock United Faculty
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
JC's Board of Trustees, dealing with issues of vital
importance to both students and faculty, placed a cap
on enrollments for the first time in JC history at the
Feb. 19 meeting.
A large group of faculty were present at the meeting,
which saw the board take no action on a request from
the United Facnlfy of Palm Beach Junior College that it
become the sole bargaining agent for a imit to
represent non-administrative {acuity.
In other action, the board:
♦approved a list of laboratory fees to be charged for
117 classes beginning in the Fall term.
"■ instructed board attorney Richard Burk to
investigate the possibility of permitting the president of
the Student Government Association to become a
member of the board. In a presentation to the board,

According to Social Science
Department Chairman Dr.
Samuel Bottosto, the IDA has
been at JC for at least 15 years,
although it has been called by
other names.
"The procedure used was
fraught with controversy," he
explained, "and the award
created ill win and professional
jealousy."
Bottosto said he hated to see
the demise of IDA. He
suggested that student groups
on campus could honor notable
teachers with awards.
"I think it's fcmd of sad, " said
Math Department Chairman
Mrs. Ruth Wing, "but I see

At the Jan. 23 Department

the form for evaluation of the

"The form is not adequate
and hard to fill out," said Mrs.

An enrollment cap of 14,000

Campbell Favors Lottery

State Representative Gene Campbell (D-Ha) answered questions
for teachers taking the FAU "Seminar in the Social Sciences"
course held at JC in CJ-2 Tuesday, Feb. 19.
Teachers asked questions concerning the college enrollment cap.
CampbeD said he had no specific answer to the problem, however,
saggesting that when funds come from TaQaluisBee (hey be
allocated properly.
Rationalizing, he said the state legislature lost 240 million dollars
in the last five months.
"If we lost 240 million dollars in income in five months, I see us
losing five or six hundred million dollars next year , ' ' said Campbell.
He said Florida has been relying on tourism and doubts many
tourists will come down next ye;ar.
He asked teachers to support him so his suggested state lottery
and off track betting amendment can get to a referendum.
Campbell does not believe in gambling and said he only gambled
twice.
His amendment would outlaw pari-mutual betting, including
horse and greyhound racing and Jai Alai. He doesn't want it to
pass; it's just to point out that a lottery would not be the first
permitted gambling in the state.
The referendum needs a three-fiifths vote of both houses to pass.
terms usually goes down
approximately 10 per cent from
fall attendance, but this year's
did not. In addition, more
students are coming to school
than usual. This means that in
order to stay within this year's
projected FTE guidelines,
springterm's enrollment will be
limited.
"We don't want to take extra
students and jeopardize what
we do with them when we get
them," Manor said.
He added that he does not
think the state should set a cap
on funds.'
"But then, their income isn't
as good as it was, so it's hard to
condemn them if there are not
enough funds," he said.
Manor .attributed much of the
problem to the current recess-
ion.
"People are coming to school
because they can't get jobs," he
explained.
Dean of Academic Affaurs Dr.
Paul W. Graham worked with
department chairmen to decide
what courses would be offered
this spring.
According to Social Science
Department Chairman Dr.
Samuel Bottosto, courses offer-
ed in social science this spring
will be "essentially general
education courses."
Fourteen social science cour-
ses will be offered this spring in
comparison to 25 offered last
spring.

Mrs. Ruth Wing said the math
department has cut course
offerings for this spring to 50
per cent of last year's, she added
that some departments have
had to cut back even more.

Student Government President' Tory
Buckley read Senator James Rogers'
resignation Thursday during a senate
meeting.
Boger, a member of SG for three and one half
semester, chairman and member of several
committees, carries 22 hours yielding a 60
class hour week, a 7 hour a night job, and
doesn't feel he can handle it anymore.
He said his GPA is slipping into an
undesireable range and by resigning he will
have no bad feelings toward anyone.
"I'm not going to sacrifice myself
personally for the student body," he said.
"It's one thing or the other, I'm a student
first," he added.
Buckley asked the senate not to accept
Bogers' resignation because he feels Boger is
an asset to SG.
"The more we can influence him to stay
here the better off this senate and Student
Government is going to be," said Buckley.
Senator Boger is a representative on the
Student Activity Fee Committee, but if his
resignation becomes final Buckley recom-
mends Senator J. Michele Notter to replace
him.
Vice President Dolor Ginchereau rejected
the resignation until he gets a chance to talk to
Boger.
Senator Bart Cunningham has been doing
research on student ID cards and had a
representative from Polaroid Camera give a
demonstration on a machine that takes a
picture, puts it on a card, then lamenates it.
The machine can be rented for $40 a month or
purchased for S1990.
There is a possibility the machine may be
purchased if the card size fits the card punch
in the JC library.
The IDCards would cost 67 cents each to
make and may cost students $1. A decision
has not been made on purchasing the card
maker.
Near the end of the meeting Senator Rob
Abrams told the Senate that committees have
to get better organized and wants senators to
relate more with each other. He asked
senators to talk to students, write down their
comments and report back to senators.
Abrams said most of all, the press needs to
be more cooperative with SG. He feels the
Beachcomber has not been representing the
campus and should "get down to work and
promote activities."
Senator Abrams also urged the senate to
become involved with the state-wide
convention, FJCSGA. He said seantors could
talk to other college SGA members and see
what problems they encounter.

reinstate Gardner to his former position as
Grounds Superintendent, or to clarify the
reasons for his dismissal.
Undoubtedly the most emotional disucssion
of the meeting concerned the Unity Faculty
(UF) motion for recognition.
In failing to take action, Eissey saM the
board was confused over the. role io be
played by the Florida Education Association
and the American Federation of teachers.
The trustees also contended that faculty
members not wishing to join a union should
have an opportunity to cast a secret ballot; so
while taking no action, they urged an election
be held.
"It's a delaying tactic," growled UF
member Glen Martsteller, foIIowUig the
meeting. The JC biology hsstmctor said he
expects an election to foe held within the next
six weekends.
Marsteller reiterated that the provisions of
the collective bargaining law had been
carefully followed, so that the board could
verify the majority position without
identification of individuals and without the
necesssity of an election.

Assemblies advisor Madge Royce was not
present and SG Vice President Dolor
Ginchereau gave a breakdown of the. group's
plans. .
This activity contributes to the culture of the
student body by bringing in outstanding
personalities in various areas to supplement
classroom subjects. Every department on
campus is contacted to submit suggestions for
this purpose. In the past, according to
Ginchereau, response has been very good to
these requests and speakers have been invited
accordingly.
One problem to be solved is policy of
admitting outside residents who monopolize
the discussion period, thus depriving students
of utilizing the limited time allowed by guest
celebrities. Several suggestions were made
on how this could be accomplished without
completely restricting community attendance.
Location and time schedules- of these
gatherings seem to play an inportant role in
attendance. Friday was cited as the most

SG President Tory Buckley
appeared Feb. 19 before the
PB JC District Board of Trustees
to request the board to study the
feasibility of placing SG
presidents on the board.
"I'm often finstrated in my
capacity as Student Government
president, especially when the
red tape and boxeaucracy of this
college Inhibits and often
prohibits my obligation to my
constitaents - the over 7,000
students correntiy enrolled,"
began Buckley.
"When I receive the board's
agendas and background mat-
erial past the dbadllne date to
get on the agenda, it really
doesn't give me and the rest of
Student Government an oppor-
tunity to express the students'
point of view."
Expressing his concern over
the lack of student input in the
board's decisions, Buckley
informed the board of numerous
states which have provided,
either by excutive- order or
legislation, formal student input
into college and university
administrative and policy decis-
ions. Buckley pomted out that
"ample precedent has been set
nationwide" to investigate the
feasibility of the proposal.
Board chairperson Dr. Ed-
ward Eissey told Buckley that
the SG president was always
welcome to speak on issues
which are on the board's
agendas and directly affect the
students.

Vofers Favor Galleon,
Split Over Athletics
s
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
Students favor the continu-
ation of Galleon, the college
yearbook, favor Student Gov-
ernment in its present form and
are somewhat divided concern-
ing the proportion Athletics
receives from the Student
Activity Fe^, according to
figures released exclusively by
SG following thft recent special
elections.
Approximately five per cent,
305 students, voted hi the
elections, which were held
during day and night classes
Feb. 17, 18 and 19.
In addition to straw ballot
questions, four amendments to
the SG Constitution were
ratified by the necessary
two-thirds of students voting,
while two amendments were
narrowly defeated.
Postponed twice, once be-
cause of a misinterpretation of
dates, and for a second time
when there was a "breakdown
in communications" between
SG and County Supervisor of
Elections, Jackie Winchester,
over delivery of voting mach-
ines, the elections this time
appeared to go on without a
hitch.
However, two questionable

Visits JC
Michele Kelly, therapist at

ter, Flagler Avenue, will

This guest panelist is well
qualified through traming and
degree from the University of
Florida. She has been employed
at the New York State Mental
Institution and also New Jersey
State Mental Hospital prior to
her present position.
Group E of the evening health

dinner at Manero's Restaurant
last Tuesday evening during a
preplanning session with her for
their program. Those attending
were Ulian Belote, Bob Day,
Jim Brand, Jonnie Lee and
Winnie Knighton.
decisions, one by the Beach-
comber and the other by SG may
have had some effect on the
totals:
The Beachcomber, in an
issue appearing the day
elections began, failed to place
any mention or notice of the
elections in the newspaper.
STUDENT Government
placed a piece of masking tape
over the total voting calculator
during the afternoon of the final
voting day and refused, after
the election ended, this reporter
from witnessing the tallying of ■
results.
Commenting on the 'Com-
ber's actions, SG President Tory
S. Buckley said, "I believe that
the Beachcomber was irrespon-
sible hi its neglect to publicize a
campus-wide election which has
obviously stirred a lot of
excitement. Yes, somebody
blew it."
According to Brian E.
Crowley, editor-in-chief of the
Beachcomber,, his decision was
"not to publicize" the election
because of his uncertainty that it
would be held.
"Past experience had shown
that SG would caU an election,
publicize it, and then fail to have
it," said Crowley.
The editor added, "However,
in retrospect, I do feel that it
was an error in judgement on
the part of the editor."
SG Vice-President Dolor
Ginchereau had announced, at
an SG Senate meeting on the
day of the 'Comber deadline,
that the election would be held
on time.
Concerning the tape over the
voting counter, ' Buckley com-
mented, "I believe that the
actual number of people voting
is as much a part of the election
results as the specific results
are.
"An oversight allowed the
public counter to be uncovered
on the first two days of die
election. Once the mistake was
realized, steps were taken to
correct it," he concluded.
Concerning the tallying,
Buckley, in a written statement
released through Secretary of
Publications Steve Getz, said
the results were released
immediately following the tally
and the machine was "openfor
public inspection."
In previous elections, repor-
ters were free to witness
tallying.
By a 173-113 margin,
Muffy McClung Photo
Columnist Jack Anderson spoke to JC students Friday.
"Gerald Ford would make a very fme neighbor ^le said.
students favored continuation of ■
the Galleon. Marilyn Cabezas,
representative of the Galleon on
the Student Activity Fee
Committee, believes the vote
reflets the people who would
like to see a yearbook on
campus.
Ms. Cabezas said the
question should have been
worded similarly to the final
ballot question, "Do you favor
SG in its present form?" She
also would have favored
sub-questions concerning stu- -
dent photos, written copy on
organizations, color photogra-
phy and the willingness of
students to participate in the
publication.
According to Galleon advisor
Odas Arant, "All activities
should have been on the ballot.
I don't think one group of
students should single any one
out. This is a prejudiced way of
Uihdting - the way they [SG]
tiiemselves think - not the way
everybody thinks."
However, Arant also noted
that it was SG's "prerogative"
to include the question.
On the Athletics question,
151 students voted "no" and
142 favored Athletics receiving
"approximately one third of the
Student ActivUy Fee as it
presently does."
On a follow-up question, 110
favored increasing the propor-
tion while 137 said the
proportion should be decreased.
According to Buckley, the 46
voters abstaining on the second
Athletics question should be
acknowledged as favoring the
proportion to remain the same.
According to JC atheltic
Director Dr. Howard Reynolds,
"the whole thing was a farce.
The intent of the elections was
good, but the way it was
handled was ridicidous."
Reynolds echoed Arant' s
opinion that all activities should
have been included and had
reservations as to the exact
wording of the questions.
Additionally, he said 305
voters was not enough to give a
true indication to how the
student boyd feels.
"Everyone knows you're not
going to get enough people out
to vote to truly represent the
student body," commented
Reynolds.
Reynolds is already preparing
to defend Athletics in the
Activity Fee Committee.
Begingning with statement to
the effect that otiier colleges
allocate 50-60 percent of activity
fees to Athletics (JC allocates 33
percent], Reynolds intends to
substantiate that "more people
are active in Athletics than any
other activity on campus.'!
In response to Reynolds'
criticism of the elections, SG
President Buckley said "the
straw ballot questions were
intended to serve as an
unofficial sampling of student
opinion."
The final straw ballot
question, "Do you favor SG in
its present form?" drew a
response of 163-yes, 114-no.
"I believe we will proceed
with the Ad Hoc Committee on
Student Government Reform
and keep researching other
methods of representing stu-
dents, " commented Buckley.

With only $250;0O left in the
Science Club budget, members
voted Wednesday, Feb. 12 on
ways of raising more money.
Richard Gross, an advisor of
the club, suggested that if the
members were interested he
would supply the paint and pay
the club $50.00 to paint the
exterior of his house. Gross
estimated tiiat with about 10
people the job could be
completed in 2-3 hours as it was
last year when members painted
a similar house.
Other fund-raising topics
discussed include the possible
sale of eight track tapes, a bake
sale, and a car wash.
SG Vice President Dolor
Ginchereau, volunteered to look
into the possibility of selling the
tapes and report back to the
club.

EDITORIAL
Faculty Senate
Must Investigate
Occasionally the Beachcomber "goofs" and fails to publish
a campus event. Remembering that we are all amateurs
striving for professionalism, the 'Comber tries each week to "■
learn from past experiences. Our goal is to give the campus
the best possible coverage.
Giving everyone the. best possible coverage is not an easy
task. It requires the cooperation of everyone involved. When
an organization thwarts our attempts, it is discouraging.
When the Student Government does, it is frightening.
During the recent election, SG officials placed masking
tape over the "PUBLIC" counter on the election booth. The
tape was placed there on the last day of the voting. Why? SG
would not give a staisfactory answer.
On the evening the election ended, the Beachcomber sent a
reporter to observe the counting of the ballots. SG closed the
door and denied the reporter access. Why was the count
taken in secret, especially when the results concerned student
monies? Why was no disinterested third party allowed to
witness the count? Is this a violation of the "Government in
the Sunshine LaW', money is involved.
The Beachcomber tried to get questions about these
matters answered but first we were required to submit our
questions in writing (the editor later held an uncooperative
verbal interview).
It is frightening to us that SG would try to thwart
Beachcomber attempts to keep readers informed of SG
actions.
As a result, we must call upon the Faculty Senate to
investigatge the conduct of the SG election. The Senate
should determine whether or not the election was legally or
ethically violated and take proper steps to insure that future
elections are conducted in the best student interest.
Bullet Ban Needs
Studenf Support
Outlaw handguns and criminals will take over the streets.
The nation's shorelines will be endangered by foreign
aggressors taking advantage of our weakened defenses. Ban
the handgun and the lives of all freedom loving Americans
will be jeopardy.
Scare tactics like these are used frequently by state and
national pro-gun lobfaiests (particular the National Ritie
Association). They have repeatedly thwarted the attempts ito
regulate the sale of handguns despite figures that show
handguns kill thousands of American every year.
Now, Susan Sullivan, a housewife in Winnetka, 111. is trying
a new approach. Instead of banning the gun, she proposes to
ban the bullet. Mrs. Sullivan maintains that bullets are
obviously dangerous objects that should be controlled by tlje
Federal Hazardous Substances Act.
She has asked the consumer Product Safety Commission in
Washington, B.C. to restrict the sale of bullets to military,
police security guards and licenses pistol clubs.
It's a fantastic idea that should receive everyone's support.
Handguns have killed and maimed too many Americans. As
Mrs. Sullivan said, how can they talk about bicycles and
medicine cabinets and pins being dangerous and not bullets?
The loudest sound a gun should make is the click of its
empty chamber. How many crimes of passion would not have
happened if that had been the sound they heard.
Perhaps no one has said it better than the Sullivan
campaign slogan, "We need bullets like we need a hole in the
head."

An HonestGrossism
By RICHARD GROSS
Biology Instifuctoc
At the end of my tests I like to include a
quotation or two that I think students might
find interesting. To capture their attention I
entitle this section of the test ' '-'GROSSISM"
These poems, one-liners and famous quotes
are designed to stimulate thoughts that might
not have evolved simply from the test itself. I
like to leave the student with something I
found to be amusing, provocative, or timely.
Here are a few typical Grossisms:
' 'Not till we are lost to do we begin to
find ourselves" Thoreau
"Lonely East winds cried
Past the condominiums. . .
Searching for the trees. ' ' Regina E. Jolly
"It is the top ofthe ninth inning. Man, always
a threat at the plate, has been hitting nature
hard. It is important to remember, however,
that nature bats last." Paul Ehrlich.
"A person can make the same mistakes for
years, and call it experience. " Author
Unknown
' 'Truth never did his master shame" Chaucer
"If you visit an American city,
You will find it very prety.
Just two things of which you must beware:
Don't drink the water and don't breath
theair."TomLehrer
The quotes are selected to correlate with the
topics of the course, or are simply "words of
wisdom". I have a large body of material to
select from and never have had trouble
finding appropriate material. The only
problem I was having was trying to select a
"Grossism" for my final exams. I felt it
should be something personal to leave with
the students, many of which I would be seeing
for the last time. It should be advise that
would be useful no matter what occupation the
student would be entering. It should be
original.
Below is the final Grossism:
"Above all else, guard your honor. It is one
ofthe possessions you have; a quality which
transcends the everyday average existence
common to most humans. Honor cannot be
stolen, broken,' killed, or borrowed. It is
controlled by one person - you. Property can
be taken, pride broken, character maligned,
spirit warped, body harmed; but honor can
only be lost consciously by the possessor."
I hope that all of my students and anyone
else that reads this quote agrees with the
principles and wouldapply them in their lives.
I hope that I never read about one of my
students involved in a Watergate.
I hope I never hear one of my students
categorically accepting the fact that certain
abuses in government are a "necessary evil".
I hope I never number among my friends
and colleagues people who misrepresent
issues, twist facts, and pervert truth in an
effort to accomplish goals that they
naturally think are the only appropriate
ones. I am reminded of the following quote
from Don Quixote, pt. V: "Truth may be
stretched; but not broken, and always gets
above falsehood, as oil does above water."
If we are to be truly human let us guard
those things that separate us from the
"creatures ofthe fields. ' ' Let us be honorable
in all endeavors.
Student Offers SG Assistance
Editor;
This letter is in regard to the
recent "goof" in the Student
Government election It appears
to me that the current secretary
of elections. Marc Graham, is
not accurately fulfilling his
duties as secretary, or "super-
visor' ' , of PBJC's elections. As
you well know, this was not the
first time that this has
happened. (Please regard this
as my personal opinion and it
does not reflect in any way upon
Mrs. Jackie Winchester or her
office.)
I am currently employed as a
deptuy registrar at the Palm
Beach County Supervisor of
Electipns office as well as being
a full-time student at PBJC.
Being that 1 have held this
position for the past three and
one-half years, I feel that I do
have a knowledge of elections
and election procedures. I
would be more than willing to
offer my services, assistance
and knowledge to the Student
Government as well as to the
students of PBJC.
Thank you and please do not
hesitate to let me know if I can
be of service. My home phone
number is 832-9966; my office
phone is 655-5200, ext. 221.

Who Is Supreme On Court?
By SAM PUTT
Staff Writer
Do you believe in signs? Here
is what Chief of Security. Grant
J. B artels says about this one:
"PBJC students not in class do
not have prioi-ity of tennis court
use."
This means that if youwant to
play tennis at PBJC on a
weekend or school holiday, even
though you pay a Student
Activity fee, you have ho more
right to do so than a non-student-
who pays nothing.
Recently, a biU was introda-
ced in the S.G. Senate to give
students priority in use' of the

Energy Action
Takes Hold
ByBnXHUTCHINS
Staff Writer
Various JC Departments are
attempting to minimize un-
necessary electrical expendi-
tures.
Director of the physical plant,
Claude Edwards, reported
employees of his department
are "doing all we can" in an
effort to conserve energy on
campus. He explained that the
central plant which operates
campus air-conditioning is
being shut down on weekends.
This action should save JC as
much as $500 a weekend in
electrical expenses, estimated
Edwards.

incandescent bulbs, have been

"can't be implemented", etc.
After a moderate amount of
debate, with the ; Executive
Department using its influence,
the senate voted Ui recommit
this biU.
How can so many senators
switch their votes so quickly?
The reason may lie, at least
partially, in a little known fact.
S.G. senators receive $50 per
semester, but the Executive
Board has the power to deny
this money Xo any senator whose
record it considers unsatisfac-
tory.
In spite of this "Sword of
Damocles" over their heads, a

few brave senators, among
them senators Ronald Bukley,
Paul Sapp and Carl Hensley,
voted against recommitting the
biU.
The most telling , argument
advanced against this bill is that
since the college is publicly
owned, the public should have
free use of the tennis courts.
A student remarked, upon
hearing this statement, "If the
recreational facilities of this
school are freejo the public, and
we have to pay to use them, we
should get our money back."
Corrects English Deficiencies
Are reading and writing
difficulties holdmg you back
from better grades? Are you
having trouble comprehending
material because you lack some
of the basics? Or do you just
wish you could communicate
easier and more effectively?
Perhaps you should look into
the Basic Studies Department.
Comprised of eight teachers,
the department attempts to help
students having particular
trouble in some aspect of
reading, writing, or speaking.
Courses are similar to the
comparable regular English
courses, except emphasis is
placed on either reading,
writing, or both. They are
designed to review skills of
commnnication. Class size is
limited to twenty students, for
more individual help and
instruction.
Also offered are courses for
non-native speakers of English.
Based on a test given by Mr.
William Wilson of that
department, a recommendation
is made as tp what level of
Freshman Communication the
student should begin.
If the results show insufficient
knowledge of English, then the
student is advised to take EH
113. This course deals with
English as a second language
which the student only receives
institutional credit for.
Roundjng out the department
is a speech class and phonics for
the elementary teacher.
Through individual work with
a teacher present for questions,
the student can improve his
skills in reading, writing,
listening and speaking.

Budget Problems
Plague Edwards
ByJOELTANEN
Staff Writer
Physical Plant Director Cla-
ude Edwards said Feb. 12 he
had adequate funds now but
doesn't know "how we're going
to budget next year".
He estimated this year's
budget at around $600,000 but
could not give an accurate
figure.
"We're very close to being
out of money, but I don't forsee
any problems," he said during
an interview.
Edwards said he is more
optimistic now about the budget
than he was a few weeks ago,
but wished the Florida Legisla-
ture would supply more money
for maintainence.
"To have more money than is
absolutely necessary to do a Job,
I kind of wonder if a person
doesn't get a little free with it,"
Edwards commented.
He said the electric bill
including fuel adjustment for
PBJC cost nearly $200,000 a
year. That money comes &om
his budget. Edwards has been
working at JC seven years, and
would like to see a swimitning
pool on campus but wonders
where the money will come
&om. He said there are many
places at JC tliat need addltlonai
walkways, such as the area
betHreen the Auditorium and the
Hnmanitles Building, where
students constantly waUc across
the grass. Many of the existiBg
walkways are "temporary" and
were built according to the
master plan.
Edwards plans to fertilize
only once this year instead of
twice as he has in the past
because of soaring prices.
There are 22 custodians
working for Edwards and he
says that is adequate personnel
to do the job. He said he has
plenty of applicants, but not too
many people like to work the
third shift which starts at 10:00
p.m.
Edwards is not surprised at
the trash left by students ui the
parking lots because he says it
exists in every society.

Katherine McCleary was qhastised and locked
in her basement in 1917 when she was discovered
smoking a cigarette. Imagine- the reaction had
she strolled up to one of the better-looking men of
the day, given him the eye and remarked, "I like
your bod!"
Yes, the times are changing. Gone are the
days when admiration of the male species labeled
one as crude and unladylike. Girl Watchers are
doing a double-take, somewhat surprised to find
their gaze returned.
Women the world oyer are finally admitting to
their oldest and favorite pastime-Man Watching^
Some of them have even gone as far as forming
an organization ' 'devoted to the study of the male
physique."
"Bottoms are tops; slim, trim ones are what
people notice," reports Suzy Mallery, president
of Man Watchers, Inc. "It's about time men
became sex symbols too."
Although associated with the Women's
Liberation Movement, local supporters know
little if anything at all about the San Diego based
group. The group claims nearly 1,000 card
carrying members. Participants bestow cards to
men they feel are "Well worth watching."
A survey of club members showed worhen
prefer long but neatly trimmed hair on their
mates. Chest and facial hair are preferred, states
Ms. Mallery, who considers herself the
"World's Foremost Authority" on Man
Watching.
"The buttocks are noticed most," she
revealed, "but the chest, hands and posture are
also admired."
The group's status is equally split among
married and single members, with the
middle-aged members most enthusiastic about
the club's philosophy.
1975 has been proclaimed as International
Women's Year, and Man Watchers, Inc, 10 Most
Beautiful men of 1974 include Burt Reynolds,
Alan Alda, Jack Nicholson, John Newcombe,
Cleavon Little, Robert Redford, Larry Csonka, Al
Pacino, Casey Tibbs and Bobby Riggs. Grounds
jor selection ranged from "killer smile and cobra
eyes" to "traditionally handsome in the classic
style."
Rule No. 1 of the organization is not to Jeer,
gawk or stare. Also, Man Watching should be
done without the recipient noticmg.
Some, however, feel this is sneaky and
deceitful and prefer to make themselves known.
The medium between the two is the average
female who simply prefers to gaze upon the finei-
things in life.
So men, when you're checking out the chicks at
the beach, don't be surprised to find it's you
putting on the show. Yes, the times they are

PISCES: People who have
opposed you for a long time will
be taken off guard if you decide
to join rather than fight. You
could win your case just by
surprising them.
ARIES! Indecision besets you.
Every problem has two
solutions, both seeming equally
practical. Take a new approach
rather than relying on past
experience. .
TAURUS: You help someone
with a problem that had him
stumped. He won't forgef the
favor. Neither will anyone who
knows about it - you may receive
other requests for aid.
GEMINI: You meet entertain-
ing people and have a good time
generally. There is a respite
from emotional pressure and
work demands.
CANCER: A member of the
opposite sex makes a very direct
statement to you. The
impression you give in return is
important. Resond positively,
LEO: Be cautious about starting
something new - small efforts
you make now can mushroom.
People hang their hats on what
you may consider casual
remarks.
VIRGO: Your talents are
recognized and sought after.
However, you're suffering from
a lazy streak that becomes even
more troublesome next week.
Fight it.
LIBRA: Don't back down from
an opponent or you'll lost your
advantage for good. Stick to
your opinions. Keep on the way
you've been going.
SCORPIO: Apparently simple
situations have complicated
facets you didn't notice at first.
Be aware that nothing is static,
and few things can be counted
on.
SAGITTARIUS: This week
uncovers a tendency toward
wishful thinking. You need to
see that 4tt all your need will
turn brass to gold. Face facts
and fight self-deception.
CAPRICORN: This is a week for
the unexpected. A surprise
comes by phone or in the mail.
Avoid committing yourself to
someone's service.
AQUARIUS: The aggravation
and annoyance that have been
building for some time come to a
head this week. It seems like
the last straw, but an upswing in
fortune is coming. Keep your
cool and wait it out.

With this in mind I wentoff, accompanied by a relative visiting from

Space Mountain appropriately named, reches far into space the
top of the structure can be seen from any where in the Magic

We were prepared for a long wait but evidently advertising had
drawn an unusually large crowd. Walt Disney tour guides infomred
us the wait would be approximately an hour or hour and a half.
While waiting we passed the time reading the numerous warning
signs scattered around the surrounding premises. The sign stated
any person with a heart condition, or motion sickness, or any
physical limitations should no go on this trip. Further warning
stated that pregnant women and young children should also avoid
this attraction.
As my companion and I neared the building a verbal warning was
issued that any items not a part of our body should be secured.

grin, straw hat, dungarees, and Red Ball,
high-top sneakers, pack a picnic lunch, bring a
blanket and head for Foxfire Festival which has
nothing to do with foxes or fires, but rather
pioneer togetherness.

of frontier freebies, ' bees that quilt [quilting

musket making, equestrian skills and
moonshining gives everyone a chance to kick up
their heels and smile.
Holly Carter Stern, a former New York Fashion
model, is serving as coordinator for the festival.
"The primary focus of the event," explains
Holly, "will be on that period in our nation's

Get back to the simpler times and revisit the
past of an American Heritage!
Do you know who you are?
You do? Well, prove it!
Recently in the SAC game
room, riffling through my wallet
to locate my student ID, I
discovered that I carry with me
no fewer than eleven pieces of
, official identification. These
include essentials like ray
driver's license, school library
card and Social Security, as well
as such exotic items as a Mickey
Mouse Grand Prix Racer card
from Disney World, a Beach-
comber press car and a plastic
square somebody gave me,
bearing the plaintive affirma-
tion:
I Am a Human Being. Do Not
Spindle, Fold, or Mutilate.
Really. Well, I suppose it
could be useful sometime. If
I'm approached by some
evil-looking dude with spindl-
ing, folding and mutilation in
his bloodshot eyes, all I have to.
do is whip out that card and he
will, of course, immediately
back off.
Nobody could argue with the
practical purpose of BD cards.
Until every person knows every
other person, proof will always
be required that someone is
whom he claims to be.
But why the overabundance
of cards and certificates
assuring everyone that Harold
Schmuck is a member of this
club and that, can pass through
this top-secret entrance and eat ■
at that select dining spot? Can
it be that all those pieces of
cardboard have come to weigh
more than the person carrying
them? They're seriously
reassuring the world - and
maybe their owner - that he
really is a person, just as my
Human Being certificate does

There may come a time when
people's identities will be
embodied in little wallet-sized
oblongs of paper. Harold, the
student, arrives at his apart-
ment tired from a day of school
and work. He's met at the door
with the gruff demand( "Hand
over your ID,"'
"But it's only me," he
protests ungrammatically.
"Hand over your card with
the number on it, Mac . You
could be anybody." Harold's
roommate of two years
examines the card suspiciously,
yells back into the apartment.
"It's olfay, he's got Harold's
card. Come on in, old buddy."
It's even conceivable that
anyone could take over
another's identity by making off
with his ID card. Suppose that
he or she presents himself at
Harold's door and is duly
admitted. "Why Harold, how
you've changed," exclaims his
roommate. "You used to be tall
and blond. Now you're short
and brunette - and where'd you
get that figure?
"Let me check you card.
Let's see 135 - 54- 0348. Yeah,
it's Harold all right."
The possessor of Harold's ID
would proceed to take over
Harold's job, home, paramour,
and whatever else he owns,
while Harold wanders the
streets, identifiless,' weakly
protesting.
"But Pm Harold Schmuch! I
work here. You know mel"
"Oh yeah?" comes the konic
response. "Prove it!" And he
can't.

and a quarter hours in the midday sun. Inside, we walked for a
ways on a ramp surrouned by RCA exhibits before reaching the
typical maze line to wait for our "rocket sled".
Afte our ride the term sled seemed very inappropriate because of
its usual association with a vehicle which one can control and a trip
which one etyoys.
While making our way slowly to the position of importance, the
long awaited, much anticipated "trip", we watched above our
heads a scene similar to that in plantariums a dark sky with stars,
comets and metorites which appeared to barely miss the illuminated
"rocket sleds" which were on roller coaster tracks far above our
heads.
Finally we were seated in our "rocket sled" the sled consists of
two seating areas one in front of the other, each seat holding two
passengers. A gentleman sat in the first seat by himself and there
was no way I was going to sit in the other seat by myself having
observed the resemblence of Space Mountain to a roller coaster,
(my motto is fear nothing but fear itself and roller coasters), so I was
joined by my friend. Again we were surrounded by exhibits of
RCA's plans for the future which shortly after I wasn't so sure I had
one. Then a type of flashing blue light appeared and we had
blast-off.
Having convinced myself that it would be over soon I refrained
from my desire to scream, then our "rocket sled" having reached
the peaic of Space Mountain headed straight down, so much for my
composure the seat belt which upon loading had so carelessly been
strapped around ray waist would have held another passenger
which I became aware of on the trip down, it was only my death grip
on the vehicle that kept me from "walking" in space. I hoped that
once reaching the bottom the trip would be over yet again I found
myself high up in Space Mountain and after a few
law-of-giavity-defying turns we plunged once again straight down
this time 1 was a little more prepared having and even firmer grip on
the loose seat belt yet this did not make the dive downward any less
shocking to my system, yet at last the "trip" was over.
In this room in which we were unloaded were many benches filled
with persons who reminded me of people in a hospital emergency
room.
My visitor and I stumbled out of our "rocket sled" under the
direction of a RCA employee instructing us to "hurry, hurry,
please!"
Finding no empty seats we stepped onto a ramp which resembled
a conveyor belt and it was a good thing because I do not think I
could have walked a step further this "conveyor belt" moved my
cousin and I on to more exhibits of RCA's plans for the future, I
labeled this a recovery room because if any one in line for the Space
Mountain had seen the way we looked afier journeying in Space
Mountain I tend to think the lines would have been heading the
other way.
It was not until after my death defying experience I realized the
full implication of the warning signs and what was meant by.
physical limitations.
Anyone who isn't faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful
than a locomotive or able to leap tall building in a single bound
shouldn't venture uito the Space Mountain.
Perhaps Space Mountain would be a fitting qualification test for
NASA astronauts but otherwise I could not find any use for it myself
except perhaps as RCA's answer to overpopulation.
However, if roller coasters are inviting to you or you have a death
wish similar to Evel Knieveles or perhaps are feeling super human
the Space Mountain may be for you, as for me I'll stick with the
jungle cruise and its animated lions.

Inspecting Your Car
By JOHN AUCHTERLONIE
News Editor
Introdnction: Did you know
that you lived in one of the
roughtest vehicle inspection
states in the country?
If you've been through
inspection lately you may have
already sensed this. Neverthe-
less while recently inspecting a
car for fellow staff writer,
Debbie Thompson, I was given
the chance to examine the
procedures of vehicle inspec-
tion.
The circumstances . were
perfect, i was equipped with a
1971 Volkswagen that had
gradually nickled and dimed
itself to inoperability. The
insurance was in one person's
name, the title in another's and
Debbie's husband was the
auto's proud owner.
The car had already failed
inspection once and was now
overdue for reinspection. Figur-
ing that I would definitely run
into some type of extreme
difficulty and expose the
inspection system for what it
was, I headed for the first
inspection station 1 could find.
The car had failed at
Lantana's station and since the
ticket was overdue I would' be
fined $1.00 plus the $3.00
inspection fee. But, I would be
able to be reinspected at any
station.
The station on Belvedere
Road was the lucky location.
There I spoke to Supervisor
Norman Williams. He has been
in the vehicle inspection
nrogram since it started in Palm
Bech County seven years ago.
Before the inspection: After I
picked the so-called "test
vehicle" up from a repair shop,
1 cruised down Okeechobee
Blvd. completely forgetful of
Debbie's last words, "Be
careful now, the brakes are bad.
You have to kinda catch them."
At that moment a rather
elderly gentleman, driving an
aged car of some unknown make
with an out-of-state license
plate,. was changing lanes right
next to me, only into my lane.
"I'll beep the horn," thought
I. After a futile number of tries
I suddenly realized that along
with four broken fingers the
horn did not work. The
footbrake was now mashed all
the way to the floorboard, but
the car was not even showing
signs of slowing downl Aggg!
This is no way to have my first
accident. Fortunately, the old
dude saw me in time just before
I passed out because of lack of
oxygen from holding my breath.
At the Station: When you
first drive up to the station there
is a booth you are required to
stop at. There you are asked to
show the insurance card that the
car is under. Vehicle
registration is not mandatory
but it helps.
Then you proceed to the
waiting . area of an assigned
inspection bay. There I was
directed up onto the metal
platform inside the bay where 1
was greeted and the directional
signals, headlights, exhaust,
horn and windshield wipers
were checked. Eventually I
knew that I would have to test
the brakes here also.
The windshield wipers failed
and, by some stroke of luck, the
horn worked but the brakes
proved to be a different story. It
did not matter how many times
the inspector was willing to let
me try to pass the test; the only
way I could stop was to pull the
emergency hand brake, which
didn't even register a 15 for the
front brakes on the brake scale.
I "was directed to move up to
the front of the garage where I
had to pay the $4.00 and another
inspector checked out the front
end of the car.
Talking to supervisor Will-
iams I found that vehicle
inspection is required by the
state but is a service of the
county.
The stations are open from
8:30 to 5:30 every day except
Saturday and Sunday. Most
stations service nearly seven
thousands autos of any type or
make each month; most in the
latter parts of the month. They
check approximately 100 cars a
day. Forty percent of the cars
monthly are rejects.
Williams stated that cars that
fail, and have to come back,
hinder the rapidity of the
station, and that means longer
lines.
Williams says he carries a
personal policy, "Pass it if you
can. I try to look for the good
things tc pass on a car."
According to Williams most
Northerners are amazed at the
rigidity of our system.
Since the insurance card I
showed Williams was not rnine I
asked him if a false insurance
card would make a difference
and what could happen to me.
Nothing would happen as long
as the insurance is registered to
that of the person who's paying.
The insurance is checked in
Tallahassee and if it's a forgery
or expiration is detectd the
owner is notified.
What would happen if I were

If one cannot imagine a
reason for life, why not die? I
am contemplting suicide.
Some suicides may be merely
for curiosity's sake. One minute
somebody is wondering, "What
is there to death?" and the next
minute he knows.
There are, say psychologists,
four different kinds of attemp-
_ ted suicide: those who seriously
want to die and succeed in their
attempt, those who don't really
want to die and so fail to kill
themselves, those who want to
die but are unsuccessful, and
finally those who don't really
expect to die but much to their
surprise, do so.
I am contemplating suicide.
Suicide might be Just a
murderer who can't find a
victim.
The reason I am speaking of
the phenomena is because the
.evidence of self-murder is
increasing. As it increases in
the future there will be more
and more need to understand
suicide. I do not fully
understand it, which is why I
contemplate about it.
Because of the fact that it will
increase to epidemic propor-
tions in future years, I urge you
to think about it, not personally,
but ta a sort of general way.

to pass inspection but then be
involved in an accident
immediately afterward because
of a faulty inspection ' item.
Nothing, the state is legally not
liable. We are a checking
service not a guarantee.
Williams pointed out that to
make inspection easier on
everyone, people should check
their car before coming in, do
not wait until the last day of the
month to get inspected and (if
your car fails; keep the pink
receipt in the car until you
return within the 30 day time
period?

Maybe it was the one third that

Inflation. The problem is
getting worse every day and JC
hasn't become immune to the
situation. The Athletic
Department is having its share
of the problem, yet they have an
idea they believe will save them
money.
"One of our biggest prob-
lems," says JC Athletic Director
Dr. Howard Reynolds, "is
transportadon. The cost goes
up every year." With the
inflation problem and the fund
cutting, the department will be
hurt a great deal, he says.

On Wednesday, Feb. 26, I
went to L'auderhill to watch
President Gerald Ford, Joe
DiMaggio, Evel Kneivel and
others try their hands at playing
golf. The event was the
Pro-Celebrity portion of the
5260,000 Jackie Gleason Inver-
rary Classic.
I arrived at approximately
12S45 and, after fighting
through the large throng
assembled at the first tee, I
made an attempt to watch the
most popalar group of the day
tee oft. The fivesome consisted
of Ford; comedian Bob Hope;
the great one himself, Jackie
Gleason; pro Jack Nicklaus and
Elliot Kahn of Great Neck, New
York, who paid $10,000 to play
in this prestigious group.
It was extremely hard to see
the President tee off because
there were thousands of secret
service men, photographers and
other assorted people standing
in my way.
I didn't feel like fighting the
large crowd that was following
the President so I decided to
find a green where there
weren't too many people and
watch the players come up.

After looking for approximately
fifteen minutes I saw that the
fifteenth green had the best
vantage point. There was only
about forty people around the
green and I saw a pretty good
spot to sit.
J had been there only a few
minutes when I spotted Arnold
Palmer playing the hole with
Miami Dolphin head coach Don
Shula. Pahner hit a nice shot
into the green but it trickled
about five feet over the back and
he had to chip it. Wouldn't you
know, he would chip it in for his
birdie.
It wasn't much later that Evel
Kneivel was teeing off on the
eleventh, which runs parallel to
the fifteenth. Before he teed off
Kneivel asked a man in the
gallery to bet $100 that he could
hit the ball past two that were
already hit by members of the
group. These were about 250 .
yards down the fairway. After
the man declined to bet, the
renowned daredevil promptly
knocked it past the two balls.
After watching Kneivel, 1
went back to the fifteenth and
watched baseball great Joe
DiMaggio play.
Then, at the eleventh,
comedian Flip Wilson teed off.
He was quite a crowd pleaser
with his many witticisms.
After watching two more
groups tee off, I saw a large
group gathered at the tenth
green and I knew it had to be the
President and his' group. So, I
decided to stay and watch the

President tee off since I had a
good spot to see him.
He hit a real nice drive of
about 240 yards down the right
side of the fairway.
About this time Knievel was
coming up the fifteenth and so I
went over to see him again. He
was somewhat disturbed over
some construction noise in the
background and yelled for the
men to "shut up".
According to Leonard Tho-
mpson, the pro of the fivesome,
Knievel had been doing that
type of thing all day. Thompson
went on to say "He's been
trying to jump the crowd all
day." With that although there
were still many groups on the
course my tired feet and I went
toward the shuttle bus, to the
parking lot and then back home.
At the present time, the
department is required to use
commercial methods to obtain
transportation. And by law they
are thus required to receive bids
for the prices they will be
charged. But this year, only
Clem Guider has offered a bid
on rental cars, and Turfway was
the only bidder for busses. And
realizing this, they can continue
- to raise prices without compti-
tition, "It is cheaper to walk in
off the street to rent a station
wagon," says Reynolds, "but
by law we must use bids."
In 1971 it cost $9 a day, 8
cents a mile, with a discount.
Today it costs $17 a day, 15
cents a mile, with no dlscoimt
given. Now, a .golfer tennis
team is able to fit fairly
comfortably into one wagon, but
a baseball or basketball team,
along with cheerleaders, re-
quires at least three cars.
Which is a total of $141, not
including gas.
• Since this price has risen so
much, teams have turned to
busses, because they are
somewhat cheaper. But
Reynolds has anticipated trans-
portation costs to be a minimum
of $10,000.
. Which leads right to the
solution. Considering that it
would cost approximately S5000
for the school to purchase a van,
wouldn't it help eliminate
transportation costs? According
to Reynolds, it would. "The
only way to help the financial
problems is to purdiase , a van, "
Reynolds says. He says it is an
obvious way to cut costs, and we

need to "be more realistic."
But seeing the other side, Dr.
Harold Manor, president of JC,
says, "I don't thmk it is more
economical. Owning vans Is
expensive." Dr. Manor was
referring to hoashtg the vans
and then maintaining them,
saying that when yon rent them,
someone else pays for their
insurance, their maintenance,
and theb housing.
Reynolds, however has noti-
ced that many other schools
have them, "It seems to me
that every college in the state
has its own vehicles, all the
others are doing it, it must be
cheaper to do this."
Again Dr. Manor disagrees,
saying that those schools had
been given the vans. " If they
were donated by some athletic
supportive group, he then feels
that It would be more
economical. Or if the athletic
department would bay the vaas
themselves, not the school.
Reynolds hopes that if his
request is fulfilled, he would be
able to purchase two vans this
year and the following year,
another. He realizes that the
vans would not always be
enough to fit every need, but
they would alleviate a lot of the
expense. But with Dr. Manor's
belief that they would not be
economical, the chances took
slim.

Select Two All-Conference
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
Pacers sophomore basketball
players Gus PoyastrO and Don
Burns were selected by the
Division IV coaches this past
week for all-conference honors.
Burns and Poyastro also
represented Palm Beach in the
North-South all-star game
Saturday night March. 1 at the
Florida Junior College State
Tournament at Deland.
"I think this is a good
opportunity for our boys," said
JC Athletic Director Howard
Reynolds. "They are both
sophomores and several college
coaches saw them play in the
game."
The Pacers did not quite make
it down the road to the state
tourney. Feb. 19, they lost in
overtime at Edison Community
College in Fort Myers, 106-103.
Poyastro missed a 10-foot
jumper and Vic Dubose missed
asn uncontested tip-in which
should have won the ball game
for the Pacers.
The Edison game was
reminiscent of the total season,
said head soach Bob Wright.
"Turnovers at key points, and
other occnrrances showed that
the time ran out before we could
do anything.
"Overall, at times the boys
were exceptional, and at other
times, not so exception."
Wright continued that the
club never came together at any
point in the season. "Nobody
on the floor took charge when
the leadership was needed."
Ron Cunningham, the Pacers
freshman guard, had some food

Time slowly passes by and
our friendly volunteer I & R
Board member tries desperately
to string a bow in the archery
equipment room. Finally after
IS minutes of strain, Ed
Richards says "I finally figured
it out, by a miracle!"
"I'm an expert at this, you're
right."
Richards, a 20 year-old
graduate of Miami Springs High
School, is the only male member
of the Intramural and Recrea-
tional Board.
"I volunteered because it is a
necessity that a man be on the
board. It is not appropriate for
the girls, of which there are
three, to handle all the load."
The six foot bushy bearded
Health-Education major said, •
"P.E. goes hand in hand with
studying. As Aristotle said,
healthy body creates a healthy
mind.
Personally, I do better in class
because I exercise. I feel
better."
As to high school and college
gym classes, Richards feels tbatt

after Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the

The Pacers have scored five

pending results of the action
which took place Friday and
Saturday against Indian River.
"Our pitching is hoidfaig up

weekend. But if yon don't score

simple as that," Rhodes said.
Rhodes feels one problem is
the pacers need to run more.
Kenny Robers, Bob Benda,
Glenn Rogers and John Ingles
are. all to see more action.
JC is 0-2 in conference play

Jimmy Connors has been
accused of being a cocky kid
from Illinois trying to make ends
meet in the big leagues of
tennis. Yet, the fact remains,
Jimmy Connors is proving to the
world he's No. 1.
Connors, with girlfriend Chris
Evert in the stands, recently no
less than "ripped up" the field
at Boca West to capture the
$25,000 Boca West International
Tennis Tournament.
I felt Connors' strong point
was not Ms serve. Don't get me
wrong, Connors consistently
serves strong and deep to the
comers. Bat, after that, initial
thrust of his Wilson T3000 is the
strong part of his game.
Sometimes it seems as if the
tennis baJI had eyes for the open
conrt.
The Illinois native commen-
ted, "The younger players of
IPA (International Players
Association) are the future of
tennis. I'd like to see it open
tennis."
Referring to his style of play,
Connors says, "They say tennis
is a gentlemen's sport. That's
not t3nae. My attitude, and
tilings I do on the court, that's

herself.
"I still need to improve my

Spring Scheduling Begins March 1 7
By WINNIE KNIGHTON
Staff Writer
Interest is mounting among
students concerning actions of
the committee that decides the
fate of dollars that are assessed
for student affairs.
Presentations have been
completed by Media, the
Beachcomber, and Assemblies.
Activities representative Dol-
or Ginchereau is interested in
students' suggestions for out-
standing speakers they would
prefer to visit JC.
Two requests for rulings by
the District Board of Trustees
for matters in question will be
forthcoming next week, accord-
ing to moderator, Dean Paul
Glynn.
Rulings are needed on the
number of representatives
Student Government is allowed
on the committee. They now
have four attending while other
groups only have one vote each.
Another clarification being
considered by the board is the
legality of the 'Comber to have
commercial ads in the school
newspaper.
At last Tuesday's meeting.
Dr. Howard Reynolds, athletic
director, explained how a
portion of the student's money
is spent for the purpose of
paying professional athletes to
attend JC. He also stressed that
about 25 students per day
engage actively in other phases
of the program. Presently
$49,000 is budgeted from
student funds for male athletics
and they have 42 on
scholarships. $8, 100 is given to
women's activities.
Long registration lines, as seen in past years, are predicted
for next Monday as JC students straggle not to be left out of
Spring I classes.
Trustees Initiate Lab Fees
ByJOELTANEN

In an effort to gain revenue,
JC's Board of Trustees
approved a list of Laboratory
fees to be charged at the

The Board expects to get
$36,000 from the fees if the
enrollment stays the same.

in Fla. state funded colleges pay
approximately 18 per cent of the
total cost of education.
Dean Paul Glynn said the
"package plan" of $129.50 for
18 to 19 semester hours tuition
will no longer be used. He said
students may pay up to S190.
Without the plan $30 would
be lost for each class dropped.

According to a bill introduced by Senator Rob Abrams, and
passed by the senate Thursday, senators no longer will
receive honorariums or special privileges.
The bill asks the original honorarium bill passed in the fall
term to be recinded. It has been determined that senators
shouldn't get money for working on SG.
"They (honorariums) are a rip-off especially for night
students who don't benefit from the Student Activity Fee,"
said Senator Carl Hensley.

Dean G. Tony Tate said JC
has always had lab fees

He couldn't think of any other
sources of revenue off hand.

Mayfield Sees
Enforced Limit
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
JC Registrar Laurence May-
field announced Thursday the
revised schedule for Spring
term registration and because of
a new 14,000 semester load limit
on classes, the schedule is more
complex than ever before.
Registration is to be comple-
ted one semester at a time:
Spring I [March 17-21], Spring
II [June 2-5]. Registration for
Fall term is to be held April 7-18
as previously scheduled.
JC's Board of Trustees
agreed at the February trustee
meeting to a nine-step priority
list for ■ students wishing to
register. Students at each step
are to be given an opportunity to
enroll in available classes before
the registration proceeds to the
next step.
Registration for Spring I
begins Monday, March 17 when
grads with completed forms
signed by the department head
or advisor may register during
the day.
March 18 and 19 are
scheduling days for currently
enrolled residents, veterans and
those in college grant programs.
Currently enrolled and cur-
rent out-of-state students regis-
ter March 20, and March 21 is
the day for currently enrolled
local and currently enrolled
foreign students.
"I don't think we are going to
get past the second priority,"
comments Registrar Mayfield.
He adds that while May 9 is
scheduled as the day for new
student registration, "We've
been discouraging anyone
making new student applica-
tions for Spring I or II."
Information on available
classes can be obtained from
faculty, advisors and depart-
ment heads. According to
Mayfield, "the vast majority of
the 14,000 student hours are
located in the Spring I
schedule."
Anticipating one of the
"hardest registrations we've
ever had," Mayfield estimates a
student enrollment of approxi-
mately 3,500 compared to the
4,966 that registered for spring
terms in 1974.
WRAP Returns With New Studio
JAY KRAVITZ PHOTO
WRAP Assistant Manager Joan Francis enjoys privacy and
comfort of new studio.
By BRUCE MOOSE
Associate Editor
JC's long troubled campus radio station,
WRAP, returned to the air March 3 after an
absence of more than two months.
The long layoff was necessitated by
wrap's decision to move the program studio
from the Student Publications Building to an
inner office in North SAC, adjacent to the new
SG gameroom.
Explaining the move, WRAP Manager
Dave Dnunmond comments., "We feel we
need two rooms - a room of considerable size
for the news department, planning, and
scheduling; and a room or studio where the
disc jockey can be practically by himself when
doing a show."
By switching the functions of two rooms
where WRAP already was located,
Drummond feels the station has solved the
problem of floor space.
WRAP presently broadcasts in the north
end of the cafeteria near the snack line, in the
SAC Lounge (Monday-Wednesday-Friday),
and to the SAC Patio.
' 'We want to go on AM or FM frequency,"
relates Dnunmond. "We could legally go on
the air and broadcast over a mile-wide radius.
People in parking lots and offices could turn
the station on - also there could be speakers at
the Business and Humanities patios locked
info the frequency."
Drummond encourages all interested
students to apply for positions as disc jockeys
and news staff. Concerning the formation of
the news staff, the WRAP manager adds,
"We don't want to be just background
music."
WRAP'S "troubles" have ineluded
blown-up amplifiers, manager resignations,
Student Government efforts to control album
selection, many student complaints over
quality and quantity of sound, mix-ups oyer
purchase orders for new equipment and
frequent halts and delays to the broadcast,
schedule.
Drummond feels the days of WRAP'S
"troubles" are over.
"If we can develop a steady flow of student
response to the station, I think we will really
make it this year," says Drummond.
"As for next year's WRAP staff, what
we've left them Is very solid - 1 don't think it
will go up in puffs of smoke."

Court An Irony
Every semester when students go to the finance office to pay their
fees, included in the price tag is a sum of money (usually around
$15.00) for "activity fees". Theoretically, payment of this fee
entitles students to unlimited access to student functions and
facilities.
Unfortunately, students are not getting what they pay for.
According to signs posted on the JC tennis courts "students have
priority" in the use of the courts. In practice this is not true.
Evenings and weekends, "John Q. Public" completely dominates
the tennis area.
The argument for this is that as taxpayers they have every right to
unobstructed use of our tennis courts. An attempt to charge
non-students $1.00 was unanimously passed by the senate and then
vetoed by the SG Executive Board.
As taxpayers, "Mr. Public" has as much right to free use of the
tennis courts as he has to free use of the turnpike, toll bridges and
downtown parking.
The ultimate irony, as noted in an article last week, is that the
students must pay for what the public gets for free. Student
Government has the chance to correct this obvious injustice and we
urge them to take prompt action to amend this situation.
SG Deserves Credit
Student Government has made many errors in the past, and
when they have the Beachcomber has reported them. One of
their major errors was the passage of a poorly written
"Honorarium Bill" last Fall.
Editorially the Beachcomber strongly opposed the Senate
Honorarium structure. However, the Senate now deserves to
be congratulated. Realizing that they had an unworkable
situation, SG at their last meeting rescinded the Honorarium
Bill.
The Beachcomber would like to encourage both the Student
Government Senate and Executive Board to continue this
type of refreshingly constructive self-examination.
He C/or/f/es Tennis Bill
Editors
Regarding the article written
by Sam Putt concerning the
tennis courts, it seems a few
clarifications are in order.
First, Mr. Putt fails to
mention that he was a senator at
the time the tennis bill went
through the senate. He, in fact,
introduced the bill. This should
explain why he was upset over
the recommitting of "his" bill.
It seems Mr. Putt didn't try
very hard to get an explanation
as to why the bill was vetoed.
SG President Tory Buckley
pointed out that the bill was
very loose, with no time being
set for playing hours. Further,
the bill states "PBJC students
are to have absolute priority of
court use upon showing current
PBJC student I.D. card."
How, Mr. Putt, could this be
implemented when the tennis
team wanted to practice (they
have absolute priority)? It is
obvious Mr. Putt didn't
research this bill to the proper
extent. Like other good ideas
introduced to the senate, it died
because of inadequate research.
Mr. Putt claims the senators
are afraid to defy the Executive
Board for fear we wlH not get
our honorariums. This is totally
absurd, in fact there is a move
afoot to abolish senate honorar-
iums.
I feel Mr. Putt will become a
very well respected writer on
your staff. He has the typical
"Beachcomber" flair for writing
totally one-sided stories dero-
gatory to SG.
The truth never hurts, so how
about writing some truthful
articles!

Editor:
This letter is in response to
your editorial that supports the
recently-proposed bullet ban.
Please don't insult your
readers' intelligence with state-
ments that form a smokescreen
and cloud the real issue in a
controversy. Lack of valid
communication is one of the
most blatant problems in our
society today and the commer-
cial mass media's economic
structure can't allow its
reporters much headway in
solving this problem.
However, if you do plan on
making journalism a career, our
present situation indicates that
you will have to approach your
responsibilities to the public
Support Amazing
Editor:
In response to the Feb. 17
editorial on ERA, I am
continually amazed at the
distortions of those supporting
ERA.
It should be clear that the
issue is not "homosexuality".
It is merely that in legalizing
"homosexuality", we officially
change our society to a
heterosexual-homosexual socie-
ty. Common sense then follows
to acknowledge that this "new"
society is to be advocated in all
of our educational, cultural,
social,, business and govern-
mental institutions.
The issue is not one-sex
toilets. It is merely that ERA
has not been defined, as the
editorial acknowledges. Frank-
ly, it should insult one's
intelligence to be asked to buy a
"pig-in-a-poke". Unlike the
editor, the average citizen does
not imbue five men on the
Supreme Court with omnipotent
powers of good judgement. I

The Beaciicomber is a member of the Associated College Press and Florida Ainior College Press Association
would suggest a cursory review
of judicial findings.
Perhaps if the "reasonable
study of ERA" noted in the
editorial, had been applied to
the 5th and the 14th
Amendments, it would have
been apparent that unjust
discrimination can be better
handled, with less delay. We
are already assured that women
are given the same opportunity
as men in all aspects of life, as
the editorial notes, but ERA
seeks to include those aspects
that involve biological, physio-
logical and psychological differ-
ences between men and women.
ERA is really very simple - it
is unnecessary to guarantee
"equal pay and equal opportu-
nity" - it has not been defined -
it will affect non- .governmental
action, and it will take away
states rights.
Furthermore, interpretations
of ERA by various state
supreme courts under state
ERA'S really leave little doubt
that the wording of the
amendment requires an "abso-
lute ban". Any one of these
reasons should be enough to ask
Congress to come up with a
better job;
Zena R. Mehlen
with a perspective and an acute
awareness that will far surpass
the majority of that being
exhibited by the media today.
Our entire nation is grossly
neglecting the real issues and
we are communicating about
"brush fires". It's about time
we all started to wake up.
I personally don't own a gun
and belong to no organization,
gun club or otherwise. But the
way things are going, I can
foresee the day when I'll buy a
gun for self protection.
If you're afraid I'll blow my
foot off, then urge an annual
safety course for gun owners. If
you're afraid I'll commit a crime
of passion, then promote family
church attendance. But if you
are as concerned about the
.growing crime problem as I am,
then we better get out act
together if we are going to
improve the situation. It's
going to take a Herculean job of
communication and education.
If you would like further
elaboration than space here
permits, I'll be more than glad
to point you in the right
direction. But in the meantime,
please don't infringe upon my
right to own a gun for self
protection, if and when 1 deem it
necessary, unless you are
willing to expend an unlimited
amount of energy toward
slowing down the rapidly
growing crime rate.

Hensleyt I thought it was
lime someone who has been an
evening student like I have for a
couple of years should represent
the evening students. During
the recent elections I was able to
persuade SG officials to open
the voting machines three
instead of the proposed two
days and to move them to the
vending machine area of the BA
building. The result?
Approximately one third of the
total votes cast were those of
evening students.
Beachcomber: What do you
think about the tape over the
Public counter on the voting
booth?
Hensley: 1 was quite
depressed to learn of this matter
and am strictly opposed to this
type of election supervision.
Beachcomber: What is your
opinion on honorariums and the
student activity fee?
Hensley; I feel that anyone
affiliated with SG should not
receive a dime. SG should be a
voluntary organization for the
students. I feel the entire
problem lies in the evaluation of
the honorariums. The answer
lies in restoring the power back
to the senate for a better
representation of the student
activity fee. Right now, the
executive branch of SG has too
much control over SG expendi-
tures.

COLUMNIST'S NOTE: The following column was written by
Maria Pico. She is a member of the Commission on the Status
of Women which has become newly active on the PBJC
campus.
Two PBJC commissions acting with one purpose have
been established in order to research and to aid in the
elimination of sexism on campus.
The Faculty Senate has established a "Commission on the
Status of Women" with Trinette Robinson as chairperson,
and a group of students have fvormulated an "Ad Hoc
Committee" with Dr. Richard Yinger as advisory.
On Feb. 17, the two groups met in an effort to determine
the purpose and establish the goals of the commissions. Our
niain purpose will be to search out and destroy discrimination
on the basis of sex.
We are now investigating the Athletics Department
because the college has been neglectant in the responsibility
of offering equal opportunity to women as well as men.
We question why women are not granted athletic
scholarships when thirty six are currently being offered to
men? Also they are receiving $47,400 this year from the
student activity fee, of which only $8,100 was appropriated for
women's athletics. The number of intramurals for women
was dropped this year with badminton and volleyball no
longer offered. j -. in ■ <:i;
The commission meets regularly on Mondays at Z:M in as

your opinion on student use of

He attributed the txumout to
the lack of publicity, however he

As he spoke, a slide show was

The speech was presented as
a favor to Phi Theta Kappa

"I predict no one will do an

It's Sculpture
By DEBBIE THOMPSON
Staff Writer
George Jenkings, creator of the one-man show of works
presently on exhibit in the humanities building, says he
incorporates "space, movement and the time element" in all
of his sculptures.
Using stainless steel, marble and a variety of other
'natural' materials, Jenkings has produced a variety of
pieces, including "Space Mirror II," a kinetic outdoor
sculpture that "turns with the wind" and "Nova", a
permanent artifact of JC which can be seen at the east end of
the humanities building.
"Nova is a non-representative, unique, and original form of
sculpture," Jenkins explained. "It incorporates space, the
Integral part of creating dimension."
Jenkings works sell for thousands of dollars, and although
the materials he uses are not scarce, they are becoming
harder to obtain.
According to the silver-haired, bearded sculptor, stainless
steel is hard to get, and the price of marbel is skyrocketing.
"The Southeastern United States has some excellent
regions where marbles such as Tennessee Pink and Georgia
Redarein abundance. The materials are a lot less expensive if
you go after them yourself, ' ' he stated, explaining that he and
his wife have made several trip to the quarries.
When asked how a dull piece of stone could be transformed
into an elaborate work of art, Jenkings noted, "I try to teach
my students to visualize form in the rough material whether it
be wood or marble."
Various blades are used to cut the rocks, Jenkings
explained. Pointers chisel out the basic flgure, and then the
bush hammer is used to obtain a resemblance of the flnished
form. After the piece is roughly filed, rasps are used to obtain
the smooth fmish. The steel comes from the mills in its
form and must be skillfully sanded to obtain its mirror-like
image.
After five years as the head of the Art Department at Palm
Beach Day School, Jenkings was invited to become the
sculpture instructor at the Norton Gallery and School of Art.
He has taught for seven years and is presently critiquing
workshops for the school. His work can be seen in the
Permanent Collection of Norton Gallery and the Society of
The Four Arts Sculpture Competition at the NewYorkCultural
Center.
Jenkings exhibit can be viewed today through March 28 in
the college gallery, which is open to the public from 8 a.m. to
10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For Bored Students
-Frank Smith
There are tricks to survival in
any environment. If people can
exist at the North Pole or in the
Sahara Desert you can survive a
boring class. Youjusthave tobe
prepared.
The most prevalent form of
surviving boring classes is by
not attending them. This
method is frowned upon by the
faculty; not the entire faculty,
usually just the faculty who's
classes you are missing.
(You have to understand that
teachers are human too, and you
can give them great feelings of
inadequacy by skipping their
classes.) Of course, avoiding
boredom in this way could be
hazardous to your grade point
average.
No, that is not the answer.
What you need is a survival kit
made expressly for bored
students. If ever a kit like this is
made it should contain:
A hard bound volume of
cross-word puzzles the size of
the student's text.
A pen who's end is a
peppermint stick, (or some
other flavor)
Dark glasses and a hidden-
neck brace for sleeping without
lowering one's head.
For Mora! support, a pair of
glasses with lenses which
distort a person's figure (your
instructor's) like the circus' hall

For excitement, put a copy of
"Playboy" or "Playgirl" in a
person's desk before class and
see if they explain it, hide it or
get caught with it. (For more
excitement, do the same thing
with a raccoon in a brown bag).
To keep a worried look on

The Gospel Mellowphonics, a local singing
ensemble, will present two concerts at FAU
March 16 as part of a special fund-raising
campaign called "Operation Poland."
The singers recently received an invitation
from the Polish government to participate in a
summer musical tour of Poland as "Ambassadors
for Friendship." The government has offered to
pay all the expenses except on half of the air fare
and miscellaneous items. Therefore, the
Mellowphonics need to raise about $6,300.
"The purpose of the 'Friendship Ambassa-
dors' program is to help the world learn about
America through young people using the
universal langauage of music," says Victor Gent,
director of the Mellowphonics. "We feel that
through our music we will reflect pride upon
ourselves and our community."
Other action around the county includes:
March 12: Thomas Jefferson, bv Fawn M.
Brodie. will be the topic of the " Adventure in
Learning, 1975 book review lecture presented
March 12 by Watson B. Duncan, III, chairman of
the Palm Beach Junior College Communications
Department. The biography, a study on
Jefferson's inner life, will be reviewed at the
First National Bank in Palm Beach at 3:30 p.m.
The lecture series benefits JC's scholarship
program.
March 14: Student Government presents the
movies "Henry V" and "Julius Caesar" The
movies will be shown in the SAC building,
beginning at 8:00 p.m. with an introduction by
Watson B. Dunca, III.
March 24: The civic opera, "Hansel and

Ann's School in West Palm Beach. The
Pacesetters appear in concert at the Golden
Lakes Condominium in West Palm Beach, March
15 at 8:00 p.m.
It could be
stopping someone for a light
out. . .a headlight out, a tail
light out. It could be to give a
written warning, or a traffic
citation. Or it could be
investigating an accident. All
these things are considered a
contact. You can't patrol mile
after mile after mile and not see
something."
A trooper is forced to make
many decisions. While on
Belvedere Koaa in pursuit of a
car that had been clocked at 50
mph in a 35 mph zone, Kelly
noticed a jeep severely cut off
another vehicle. The decision
was to pull over the jeep, which
was closer and would probably
endanger more lives. The
popular belief that troopers can
be "talked" out of tickets by
mentioning a relative or friend
in the law enforcement
profession is a falsehood. This
woman just happened to
mention that her husband was a
deputy sheriff, but the result
was the same, a ticket for
improper change of- lane or
course.
Next, a small accident
brought us to die Palm Beach
Kennel Club parking lot. There
were no injuries and under SlOG
damage done to each car.
Because of this a short accident
form was filled out and no
warnings or dckets were given
due to uncontrollable circum-
stances.
During the evening hours, a
very serious time for accidents,
Kelly gave a written warning for
improper stopping in the
median. The vehicle to which
he gave the warning might
easily have been involved in a
serious accident if another
vehicle failed to see the car.
The following event of the day
sent chills down my spine. We
were traveling on 1-95 when
Kelly saw a car traveling in and
out of traffic. He signaled the
car to pull over, which it did
very abruptly. Kelly approac-
hed the car with a light and
asked for the gentleman's
driver's licenise, which he
presented. Kelly returned to
the car and stated he felt as if he
knew the driver of the car. A
license check provided nothing
to calm Kelly's apparent
uneasiness, the reason for my
nervousness. Trooper Kelly
gave the gentleman a ticket for
failure to stay in a singular lane
and we continued on.
A Toyota was traveling on
Military Trail with its bright
lights blinding other traffic.
Kelly pulled the car over,
informed the driver about her
lights, and the car went on.
The final incident of the day
found us again on 'Belvedere.
The vascat unit clocked a truck
at 49 mph in a 3S mph zone. In
pursuit it became apparent that
the driver was drunk. Kelly
pulled the vehicle over on
Congress and had the gentle-
man get out of his vehicle and
asked him for his license which
the driver could not produce.
Kelly told him he was under
arrest for DWI (driving while
intoxicated) and proceeded to
read him his rights. He
informed him of his right to
take or refuse a breathalizer test
to determine the alcohol content
of his blood. Kelly then called
for a wrecker. After the wrecker
arrived, the gentleman was
taken to the Highway Patrol
Station for the breath test which
he had consented to. Another
trooper at the station repeated
the drivers rights and began the
test. The results of the test
showed the alcoholic content of
his blood was two and one half
times the legal limit.
It was now midnight, time for
Trooper Kelly to go home. But
his job was not over, he now had
to take the man down to the
county jail. Before leaving the
station both Kelly and the other
trooper unsuccessfully attemp-
ted to get the gentleman to call
someone to post bail so he
wouldn't spend the night in jail.
Just before entermg the jaD
the gentleman turned to me and
said he knew Kelly was only
doing his job, that Kelly was a
"nice guy."
I cannot convey the things I
came to realize while seeing the
job of a state trooper from the
inside looking out.

I After two weeks of evaluation an in-depth
I study amongst the many doodles in my drawer
I (I don't have a desk yet) this week's winner is
I very difficult to determine. The rules state
s that the person turning in the doodle is
I eligible for the title. This week's doodle,
I however, had no one's name on it.
I Through careful detective work I found the
I name of the person who had entered this entry
I [it -Has written on the envelope which
I contained the doodle in the first place].
The doodle was created by Brent Brooks, an
art major, it was turned in by way of a sealed,
labeled, and dated envelope, (That's efficient
doodle submission) by Mona Nichols.
Mona says that Brent's notebook is filled
with drawing of the same type. Whether
Brent was trying to draw texture or just
playing around is debatable because the
reverse side of this doodle contained art notes,
the true doodle test.
This doodle shows amibiton, aggressive-
ness, and a logical, original mind. Further
analysis shows the doodle to show that Brent
is able to see relationships of objects, facts,
and is generally a meticulus, careful person.

Eight Return For
Softball Chomps
With eight returning lettermen who had a batting average of .301
or higher, Coach Bobbie Knowles is very optimistic about tliis years
Softball season which gets under way Thursday against Florida
Bible College at 1 p.m. on the Pacers home field in Boynton Beach.
"We play at Pence Park in Boynton because our field is not quite
ready, h's located on Fifth Ave. South," commented Knowles.
The experienced eight helped JC to win the JFCC Women's
Softball State Champtionship last year, at the city complex in St.
Petersburg.
Knowles, in her third consecutive year as head mentor, said,
"Dade-South and North are always tough," in respect to the
contenders on JC's schedule. "Dade-South has a tremendous
program for women and naturally they will attract the top athletes."
"La^t year our strong point was oiar hitting. We had a team
batting average of over .300. At this point, this year, our defense is
our strong point," continued Knowles.
Joyce Tinall, who plays right field, has the highest batting
average last year, .410. Dede Clayton, also an outfielder, led the
club in home runs and had a batting average of .396.
Denise Winnett, who sCored the 34 runs to lead the club, is at first
base. Etta Bivens tallied 29 Runs Batted In (RBI's) in last years

Also returning as sophomores are second-basemen Sue
Pennington, third-basemen Dawn Pastore, center-fielder Monice

Pocers Vs. Falcons Friday
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
Division leading Miami Dade
North invades the main campus
diamond of JC Friday, March
14, tor a 3:30 contest.
Demie Mamieri's club, which
is 6-0 in conference play,
tangles with the Pacers, who
sport a 3-3 league mark. JC
head coach Dusty Rhodes says
of the Falcons, They are a good,
solid club. Mainieri's buUt a
program for many years. They
do everything pr¥tty tough.
"If we go out and get
aggressive like we were in the
fall, we'll stay in with them,"
continued Rhodes.
In the most recent conference
action, the Pacers split a
, doubleheader to Edison in Fort
Meyers, losing 4-3 in 10 innings
and winning 7-6 in 11 innings.
Rhodes firmly believes that they
were the "worst team we have
played as of yet.'
JC has had problems scoring
runs in key situation throughout
the year. In the first game,
Palm Beach had a chance to
score on a squeeze play in the
ninth inning. But, a runner yrns
thrown out at third base.
Rhodes pointed out that
errors also contributed to the
first loss, especially in key
points in the game. With two
outs in the tenth, and Edison
runners on first and second,
Sam Testa lost a routine pop fly
in the sun. Consequently a run
scored, ending the ballgame.
Seven errors contributed to
the near loss in the second
game, but the Pacers held on to
win in 11 innings, 7-6.
"I don't Want to make
excuses, but we can't back up
our pitching." said Rhodes.
Ross Baumgarten threw 10
innings of good solid baseball in
the first game. He lost out to
Eddie Pierce who went the
distance for Edison. Julian
Rodriguez pitched nine innings
of the second game.
Losing three out of four on the
road, Rhodes said, "Mentally,
we don't get up for these
games. Every outfielder had an
error, ' '
Perhaps it was an adjustment
to the ball park or the side-show
of faking three busses to get the
team over to Fort Myers and
return them to West Palm
Beach. But Rhodes says, "A
good ball club doesn't make
excuses."
Glenn Rogers, who is leading
the team in most department,
had four hits; a triple, double,
and two singles. Dave Lang
collected three hits and Bob
Morrisey had two in the first
game.
The Pacers hosted the
University of Buffalo on
Saturday and Sunday, March 8 -
9. Rhodes commented
optimistically beforehand, "I
think things will turn around."

Golfers Take
Second Place
By PETE CLAUSEN
Staff Writer
The Pacer golf team brought home the second place trophy firom a
strong field of thirteen teams at the Indian River C.C. Invitational in
Lake Placid.
Brevard won the tournament, their second win in a row, with a
607 total but Palm Beach was only four shots back at 611.
Defending national champion Broward finished a distant sixth at
621.
Brevard's Sam Trehan was the medalist with 69-73-142. Mike
Sim of the Pacers received the third place trophy for his 73-74-147
effort. The Pacers' Jim Henry received nine golf balls for his share
of sixth pl«;e on rounds of 75-77-152. Pat Kelly won three golf balls
for an 11th place tie at 154 with rounds of 78-76.
Oiher Pacer scores included: Gregg Clatworthy, 80-78-158; Brad
Milam, 81-86-167; and Frank LaRose 86-89-175.
Coach Ray Daugherty explained that even though this is the
team's best finish of the year, it is not their best score.
*'TWs is only our average score," he explains. "I'm sure it wUI
not hold up in the state tournament, and only the top two teams in
the state go to the nationals."
Coach Daugherty is preparing a rigid practice schedule for the
golfers and adds, "we have as good a chance to win state as anyone
else,"
JC's five top golfers will compete in the Palmetto Invitational,
March 13-14, in Miami.

Remember the last time you
went to a baseball game to rile
and harass the umpires?
Some parents go to every
degree to see their 11-year-old
sons play Little League and get
the best and most breaks.
According to the fans, the
"umps," glasses and all, can't
make a call or even find home
plate.
How do the umpires solve the
problem?
Ask for professional advice.
The MacArthur Athletic Assoc-
iation umpires recently did and
received a great deal of
pointers.
National League umpire John
Kibler and American League
umpire Jerry Neudecker drop-
ped by a recent BasebaO Clinic
at the MiUtary Trail-Gun Club
Road complex.
Among other reasons, 1 had
' never actually interviewed a
major league umpire, so I
high-tailed myself out to the
complex for an exclusive
interview.
John Kibler has worked in the
National League for ten years,
including the 1971 World
Series, an AU-Star game and the
play-offs.
Kibler will tune up in the
Grapefruit League in Arizona
this spring as he has moved
from his residence in West Palm
Beach to California.
"They expect you to report to
spring training ready to go,"
commented Kibler.
The only schooling a major -
league umpire receives during
the season is what Kibler refers
to as the "rule book at night and
a game every day."
The only difference between
the umpiring of the two leagues
is where the umpires work
behind the plate and on the base
pads.
' 'The American League works
over the catcher's head. We
[National] work beiiind the
catcher's shoulder depending if
the batter is right or left
handed. This allows as to get a
better look at the outside
comer," said the veteran from
upstate New York.
"I work behind the plate*
where I feel comfortable,"
commented Neudecker. "There
are not two umpires that are
identical."
"I might take more than
somebody else," Neudecker
said about the harassment from
mangers. "You're dealing with
human beings and personali-
ties."
Neudecker continued, "I
don't need as much work behind
the plate in spring training. The
timing on the bases requires
the work."
The eleven year veteran of the
National League said he is to
work approximately 23 days of
spring training and then begin
the 162 game season in April.
"Over-all it's easier to umpire
in the major leagues. Naturally,
the good players aren't going to
make errors."
John Kibler and Jerry
Neudecker enlightened me with
plenty of information on how to
call a man safe or out but, I will
not always agree.

A proposed chemistry curriculum change
has many students up in arms, according to
pre-med student Kay Stoutenbaugh.
Inorganic chemistry is the series of courses
to be involved in the change. Presently the
program consists of CY 101, CY 102, and CY
103.
At the next meeting of the curriculum
committee, a proposal is expected to be made
10 change inorganic chemistry to a two
semester system, CY 101 and CY 102.
"The material now covered in one will then
have to be covered in two," said Chemistry'

the March 6, 1975 Faculty
Affairs Committee meeting to
"investigate the Student Gov-
ernment Association. The
investigation to include, but not
be limited to, elections and
honorarium."
The proposal was referred to
the Student Activities Commit-
tee with instructions for the
committee to report its findings
directly to the Faculty Senate no
later than April 10.
During the week following the
March 6, meeting, it was
discovered that a student
government senator was chair-
man of the Student Activities
Committee. Questions were
raised as to the propriety of a
student chairing a faculty
committee.
At the Faculty Senate
meeting, senators were infor-
med of another discrepancy;
only one of two students had
been appointed to the commit-
tee and possibly in violatiori of
proper procedure.
Unanimously the senate voted
10 investigate the structure of
the Student Activity Committee.
A motion was then made to take
the investigation of Student
Government away from the
Student Activhy Committee and
appoint an Ad Hoc committee to
the task.
The investigation into Student
Government was prompted by
investigative reporting by the
Beachcomber and discoveries of
possible mishandling of SG
finances, elections and honor- ^
ariums. The reporting resulted
in last week's Beachcomber
editorial requesting an investi-
gation by the Faculty Senate.
Budget Funds
In Question
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
JC's Student Government is
in financial trouble. This
conclusion follows a Beachcom-
ber study of the SG Budget.
which shows only S6, 412.73
remaining from an original sum
of S37, 131.61.
The current budget figures
are from SG Treasurer Dave
Lang's last report, dated
January 26, 1975. Lang, in a
recent 'Comber interview,
claims he must submit budget
reports only by order of the
Executive Board of SG.
Unexplained are several
instances concerning question-
able use of the budget.
Um^m
.'AV-'X-AV.
Arioilysis
One case concerns Phi Theta
Kappa, which was budgeted
$700 in,, the' 1973-1974 school
year. This year it was SG's
policy to cut any social activity
funds from club budgets,
meaning that most club budgets
would probably fall.
This year, Phi Theta Kappa is
getting $3,250 as opposed to the
S700 received the previous year.
The next instance concerns
the more than S213 that has
been expended for the Tele-
phone and Telegraph Account.
No records have been kept by
SG concerning these calls.
According to Buckley, use of the
telephone must be approved by
an executive board member.
Yet Buckley is unable to verify
who made what call, where or
why.
The SG president said he
could not produce any definitive
records to account for the S213
SG phone bill.
In a related matter, it is
interesting to note that SG has

"Data" Now A Career I /
By JIM ASH
Staff Writer
Have you ever considered a
career in data processing? Do
you know what jobs are
available in the computer field?
Are you aware that PBJC has
some of the best computet
equipment in the entire
country?
If you answered no to the
above, don't feel you are
neglectfully ill-informed. The
fault lies not with the student,
but with present educational
policies. However, before going
into that aspect, you should
know a little about the
department.
With constantly changing
curriculum due to new innovat-
ions, the department offers
courses which relate to the real
world. Graduates have a good
chance of getting a job and
opportunities will increase as
the field continues to grow and
expand.
The department's facilities
aretheenvy of the state. Where
as most colleges are fortunate to
have even one computer for lab
work, PBJC has three.
Students in the area have a
unique opportunity in southern
Florida in regards to computer
training. PBJC and Florida
Atlantic have cooperated to set
up a four year degree program.
Depending on your goals, a
student can train for Jobs
ranging from operator or
programmer to systems and
management.
In this technological age, the
computer's importance has
increased rapidly, and will ,
continue to at an ever increasing
. rate.
Within twenty years the
computer will revolutionize
teaching and education. People
in the business world come in
contact with computer systems
every day. Why then don't the
majority of students right here
on campus hardly even know the
department exists?
In a recent interview with Mr.
Washburn, chairman of the
department, I received signi-
ficant enlightment on the
problem. He cited an "archaic
educational system" as the core
of the problem. 'Vocational
courses are still considered
"specialized" and not general
education. Therefore, if a
student feels he may be
interested in the computer field.
"JC has one of the top ranked computer systems in the
nation," says Computer Science chairman Dale Washburn
Ipictured ri^t] Vocational courses are still considered
"specialized" and not general education. Concepts of
general education should be broadened. Students in this area
have a unique opportunity in regards to computer training.
he must risk valuable credit
hours by taking a course that
could not be used towards other
degrees.
When asked how the problem
could be solved, Mr. Washburn
advocated that the "concepts of
general education should be
broadened." By making a
computer course an optional
general education requirement,
a student will not be penalized if
he/she takes the course and
elects not to pursue that field.
It seems obvious that a
change in policy is needed.
Students must be given the
opportunity to investigate a
wide range of areas. It's time to
re-evaluate the system, taking
into account new technological
trends, and putting general
education into a proper
perspective.

not spent one dime on written
correspondence though there is
SlOO in the Freight and Postage
Account. Written correspon-
dence is considerably more
economical than phone calls,
but it does require pre-plann-
ing.
Another significant SG ex-
penditure, the $56.89 spent as
Petty Cash, also goes unrepor-
ted. According to Lang, there
are no records telling where the
money went to, even though it
was all given out in sums of less
than $10.
The only recorded Petty Cash
Voucher is the S7.50 alloted for
connector wire. What happened
to the rest of the money?
Neither Lang nor Buckley have
records.
Finally, honorariums of such
amounts as S375, S250, and
S189 have been allocated from
the SG Budget to executive
board members. The four
members of the executive board
vote on each others honorarium
amounts.
There is no ceiling on the
amount an executive board
member may receive, though,
through tradition, the highest
any executive in previous years
had received was $189.50, the
cost of books and tuition.
In the Fall term Buckley
asked for SSOO, saying he was
"worth many, many, many
times morer" However, the SG
president only received $375, or
the sum of the S15 Activity Fee
paid by 25 students.
Any changes to the SG
Budget will probably have to be
implemented without the use of
an accurate set of records.
More specifically, the files of
the SG treasurer appear to be in
general disarray. When
questioned on a specific money
allocation. Treasurer Lang
madly leafs through his files for
the answer.
While the files are kept by
account number, within each
account there appears to be no
organization. As. an example,

Do you think the current ID
cards for JC students are a
farce? Currently, two senators,
Bart Cunningham and Bill
Penney are researching the ID
card situation.
They have pooled many
opinions from students and
faculty alike on changing the ID
cards. So far the answers have
been positive but they are
concerned for more student
opinion.
Here are the current facts:
Present ID cards are a farce as
far as valid identification is
concerned. Names can be
written in and they will not pass
or hold up at the auditorium or
in the wash. They cost the
administration about S200 a
semester.
Meanwhile, the library says it
cost them $800 at 10 cents a
piece for their cards. That
makes two cards you have to
keep in your wallet although
either one may be used to check
out a book.

tea) in a file and had not been
recorded by Lang.
No one in Student Govern-
ment has made sure these files
are specifically itemized, not
only by account, but by specific
item .
Past years appear even
worse. The 1973-74 file is in
utter chaos, with items
randomly thrown in from the
previous three years. Again, no
one in SG has had these files
updated, scrapped, or screened.
The misrepresentation and
niisreporting of the SG Budget
reaches its apex when one looks
at the final item on the budget:
"Note: Club allocations
$10,315.00."
While SG is responsible for
club budgets, the official SG
budget does not list the
expenditures from clubs.
According to. Lang, clubs have
thus far only spent about
one-third of their allotted
motiies.
Can we expect a mad rush by
clubs to use up the remaining
funds? For that matter, just
how much of the funds remain?
Maybe it doesn't matter. It's
only $10,315 of the money
dished out by the students each
term.
There are many other areas of
financial waste and ineptness
and the following are just a few:
* Printing. . .only $147.95 left
from an original $600.
*Educational and Office
Supplies. . .$82.20 remains from
$500.
*Other Materials and Supp-
lies. . .SG is $16.41 in the hole
after an original allocation of
$1,275.
*Scholarships and Waivers. .
.the original $500 is still on
hand, but $1,200 is needed to-
pay four $300 SG service
scholarships.
*Furniture and Equipment. .
.only $18.61 remains from an
original' $3,895.20.
*No money remains in the
S3S0 Buildings and Fixed
Equipment budget.

JC Students Musf Make Choice
Art Or

Cliemisfry Classes
Do you like music or art? You have to take
an appreciation course in one of them. Unlike
some junior colleges you have a choice here.
A state articulation agreement specifies
^vhat general education courses students must
,ake.
The agreement has been revised several
'imes by junior college academic deans and
representatives of universities, and now
courses which were once
unacceptable.
An example of one of the modifications in
the new agreement is that "D's" in junior
colleges were not transferrable to uper
division of universities while they were
transferable for lower division university
students. Through the new agreement,
"D's" are now transferrable for junior college
students as well.
Assistant Dean of Students Robert C. Moss
said the agreement "sets guidelines, assures
a certain common preparation in all student's
backgrounds, and tries to keep things under
control so student won't take only courses in
their major subject area."
Many students wonder why they must take
courses which have nothing to do with their
major subject and they feel they willnot need
later in life.
According to Moss, "It is an educator's
responsibility to provide students with a

CORRECTION! Last Week in the 'Comber feature article on
SENATOR F. CARL HENSLEY, we incorrectly stated that he
was the chairman of the Palm Beach County Democratic
Executive Committee. Mr. Hensely is a publically elected
representative to the D.E.C. but is not the chairman. He is,
however, chairman of the Senate Resolutions Committee and
chairman of the Commission on Education at his church.
Carl informs us that the chairman of the county D.E.D. is the

general education and at least a smattering in
most subject areas."
Humanities is one of the subjects covered in
the agreement.
Some junior colleges offer one course which
covers music, art, and literature; while the
PBJC student must take literature and has a
choice between art or music appreciation.
When asked if JC might offer a course
which covers both art and music. Moss said
"there would be a terrible problem deciding
what part of each coiirse to cut in order to
make room for the other.
"Our way gives students an option they
otherwise would not have," he continued. "It
gives the student an opportunity to build on
his particular interest.
"Once again it goes back to the old questioii
'what should be in the general education
package?','* he explained. "That question
has never really been answered."

change occurs, according to
Stoutenbaugh. Students who
are presently involved in the
three course program would
have to have special transition
"parallel" courses to avoid a
gap in their chemistry program,
she said.
Some students support the
suggested change because it
will allow them to fulfill the
inorganic chemistry require-
ments in only two semesters.
This takes less time and will cost
less money, now that tuition
costs are determined by the
number of credit hours.
Truchelut explained the
chemistry department's view
was that the present system
should be retained. He said that
because of recently . announced
fund cut-backs, it may be
difficult to offer transition
courses to satisfy the needs of
students already taking part in
the three semester program.
Another problem arises when
labs are considered. Under the
existing system, 101 has no lab
but 102 and 103 have
corresponding labs. Presum-

JC for the first time.
Arnold is a real pig with reddish brown hair and is pledging
as a Chi Sig Fraternity member. Arnold belongs to SG
Senator Walt Davis who said-Arriold is the Chi Sig mascot
In order to become a "brother" of Chi Sig you must be
invited. According to Chi Sig Commander (President) Danny
(Shorty) Lentz, the club is doing great with 32 members of the
brotherhood. He attributes the success to his updating of
pledge requirements ia the Chi Sig constitution.
Chi Sig has planned a social function for April 12. It is their
First Annual Luau and tickets go on sale March 17. Lentz said
live entertainment is coming down from Las Vegas.
Chi Sig has been at JC for 15 years and according to Lentz
is ilie only fraiernhy left on campus. The club built the
wishing well at JC and does many public services. Some of
ihem are: food drives for the local drug rehabilitation center,
a sand box for the child Day Care Center, and helping-
Muscular Dystrophy children.

Pink Booklet Turns Ms. Blue
J. MicheleNotter
GIRLS! Would you rather marry an
insurance salesman or an executive? To find
ihe answer, take the "Strong Vocational
Interest Test for Women". . .in a pink
booklet, of course.
I decided to take a series of vocational
interests tests that are available to students at
the Testing Center, ADS. I felt sure that the
results would be biased toward typically
female occupations but hoped that I would
gain some unknown insight into my interests.
Three tests make up the vocational interest
tests. The first is the "Occupational Interest
Inventory". It tries to identify major interest
areas, regardless of sex.
The second is the "Kuder Occupational
Interest Survey." This test compares a
person with other individuals, but divides the
results up into male and female categories.
The third is the "Strong Vocational Interest
Test"(SVIT)and compares a person of one
gender with other individuals of the same
gender.
I finally received the results of my test and
got the results of the same series from a friend
of mine, Cindy Taylor.
Cindy is fairly strong in math and science
while I am not. However, the results of her
tests, along with mine, suggested typically
female occupations.
For Cindy: Dietician, Home Economics
Teacher and Home Demo Agent.
For me: YWCA Staff Member, English
.Teacher, Social Worker and Medic. Cindy and
I also showed interest in the following
occupations; Librarian, Dean of Women, and
Occupational Therapist.
There were a few recommendations which
were not normally female dominated fields
such as an Army Officer ana a Lawyer. It was
surprising to me that Cindy and I scored in the
same major interest areas considering our
various interests and strong points.
The tests were disappointing because of the
stereotyping involved. The Kuder and
Occupational Interest tests were a lot fairer
than the SVIT test. The questions in the latter
were particularly outrageous.
Although I didn't have the opportunity, I
sincerely doubt that the male's test booklet
contained the questions, "Would you rather
be a husband or have a career?" "Would you
rather be a househusband or a housekeeper
for a wealthy family?" Both questions were
in the women's booklet.
One of the most interesting results of the
tests were the motivation scores. A person
can score from to 99; 50 through 99 is
equated with a professional occupation as
opposed to a technical one.
Cindy scored a 90 and I scored a 98. With a
motivation score like that, Cindy should have
had physician at the top of her list of
recommended occupations and I should have
liad architecture at the top of mine.
Donald W. Cook, who counseled me on the
results of my test, was sympathetic to my
complaints and took them into consideration
when counseling me. He said that the only
test that hadn't been updated was the SVIT
test. All three tests, from my viewpoint, could
have used an analysis of the inherent sexism
in their questions and job recommendations.
The tests are productive to a degree, but
females, as well as males, should be aware of
their limitations when considering their
recommendations.
Cancelled Zeppelin Concert
Hassles Ticket Holders
First, it looked good. Then it
looked bad. And for awhile it
looked like Led Zeppelin concert
licket-liolders would have to kiss
ihcir ten-dollar bills good-by.
Now\ months after the concert
was canceled, it looks like those'
bills will be refunded. At least
that's what concert promoters
have announced.
No one. especially ticket-hol-
ders, would be willing to bet
much on their word. But,
Connecticut Concerts promoters
say thing's will work out this
lime. And after March 19,
ticket refunds are supposed to
be available at outlets where the
tickets were purchased.
Tickets purchased by mail will
also be refunded.
When an anticipated rock
concert is cancelled, it is
unfonunaie, Biit it's irrespon-
sible business practice, at the
very least, to let red tape hold
up ticket refunds. That's what
happened here.
Finding any merit in incidents
like this is difficult. But, if
anything, they should make
concert fans wary of promoters
and promises.
People will pay a price to hear
groups like Led Zeppelin.
Promoter hassles shouldn't add
to the cost of such entertain-
ment.

JC Finoncial Aid Office
Yes, You Con Receive Aid
By ROBIN PETERSON
Staff Writer
As most of us know, getting
an education doesn't come
cheaply. JC offers many
alternatives in the financial aid
and scholarship area.
There are usually require-
ments to be met before being
able to cash in on a scholarship.
You must have 1) , financial
need, and 2) a decent grade
point average (GPA). These
days most of us meet the first
requirement easily. The second
requirement usually means a
2.0 GPA or better. Not so easy,
eh?
The first place to apply would
be at the Financial Aid Office in
AD-2. Mr. Leon Warner, the
director, said that he "would

p.m.
JC President Harold C.
Manor gave a welcoming
address "A Global View of
Rcology" was the topic
prc-^sented by Scott Herrick,
Field Director of American
Friends Service Committee.
At 10:30 fia-. Samuel Bottosto,
chairman of the Social Science
dept. and Dr. Kichard Yinger,
Social Science Instructor mo-
derated the first panel discuss-
ion on the "Role of the Social
Sciences in Ecology," from the
Biologist's Perspective. Parti-
cipating in the discussion was
Bob Berg of Pine Jog
Environmental Science Center.
His subject was "Ecology in
Palm Beach County". JC
Biology Department Head
Marty Hartman also presented
"A General Systems View".
Another panel on same
subject involved Alan Craig of
the Florida Atlantic University
Geography Department and
James Nicholas, from FAU's
Department of Economies.
Moderators for this session
were Michael Schwartz, Dean,
College of Social Science, FAU
and Maurice Anderson, Depar-
tment of Sociology, Palm Beach
Atlantic College.
Afternoon program opened
with keynote address by Colonel
Clinton Effinger, Palm Beach
County Planning Commission.
A thirty minute discussion and
reaction period followed.
The final order of the day was ,

like people who need aid to
come in." He emphasized the
fact that, "All aid that we give is
based only on need." There is a
form in his office that must be
filled out by July 1 for you to be
considered for aid. The only
other requirement is that the
applicant be a full time student
with a minimum of 2.0 GPA with
no failing grades.
Mr. Warner stresses getting
the application in early. "Any
money provided would be the
difference between the amount
the applicant is able to pay and
the cost to go to school."
Loans, scholarships, and
participation in the Federal
workstudy program are obtain-
able through the Financial Aid
Office. The work-study
program is available to any full
time student who demonstrates
need, whh an average of 40 - 50
students working on campus at
$2 an hour. They work in such
areas as the Registrar's office,
library, maintenance, data
processing, audio-visual', as lab
assistants, and in the phys. ed.
department.
According to Mr. Warner, "If
you haven't attended college
before April of 1973 you are
eligible for the Basic Educational
Opportunity Grants (BEOG)
program. These are based on
need, not grades." The
maximum is $1,200, amount
being based on educational
costs minus family contribution.
Mr. Leon Warner
He added that another
possible source for a nursing
students scholarship would be
through Sister Josephine Wat-
ers at St. Mary's Hospital. The
state of Florida also has about

Committee Views SG
ByWmmKNlCMrOti
Staff Writer
Last Tuesday's meeting of the
Student Activity Committee
meeting centered around needs
of Student Government.
Some of the points most
widely discussed were handling
of telephone expenses, mileage
for trips, petty cash, equipment,
honorariums, clubs, social
functions and scholarships.
It was pointed out that this
group received $37,000 last year
and has spent most of the
amount budgeted.
At the meeting tomorrow,
explanations will continue on
Student Government Publica-
tions and other questions that
arise from the floor.
Student Government is re-
presented by four delegates,
which constituted one-half of
attendance at last week's
session. Other groups who have
only one vote have asked the
District Board of Trustees to
re-examine this situation. Also
referred to the Board was legal
ruling on the Beachcomber
selling ads in the school
newspaper.
Dean Robert Moss will
officiate - as moderator in
absence of Dean Paul Glynn at
tomorrow's function of this
group.

Versatile Frank Smith is looking forward to another

machine that will make
laminated type cards like a
driver's license that may be
used as a library card, student
identification, valid ID any-
where and a duplicate picture to
be put in the student file to
substitute for the one you
already have to produce at
registration.
The price of the machine is
SI, 990. The price of the film is
54,000 for 8,000 pictures or
roughly 56-67 cents per card.
The problem arises as to
where the money is going to
come from. Cunningham and
Penney - are opposed to any
increase to be passed on to the
student. But if it were, it would
be about 75 - SI. 00 for the card
which would last the student for
two semesters.
At this moment a clearer
definition of prices and duration
dates are being researched.
What Cunningham and Penney
are concerned with is student
opinion and cost to the student.
They are currently scheduled
for an appointment with Dr.
Manor about opinions and
formalities.
Next week the 'Comber will
report in-depth on this issue.
Students having opinions on this
subject should write or contact
any SG senator, Bart Cunning-
ham or Bill Penney.

said to Shakespeare, "Hey Bill,
let's go down to the common's.
They're gonna overthrow the
king ! "
Shakespeare did not have
time to pursue such heroics but
he did speak, in reflection,
"Uneasy lies the head that
wears a crown" (Later he put
the line into "King Henry The
Fourth")
Or in another case, Einstein
didn't really set out to end world
War II, he wasn't a doer, but he
mumbled something about E
equalling MC 2 which eventu-
ally did the job.
On the other hand it's kind of
fortunate that there are doers
AND thinkers. If Columbus
merely thought about going
around the world, where would
we be?
It's also fortunate that
Alexander Bell. . .wait a
minute, my phone's ringing. .
.wrong number, where was I?
Uh. . .wait a minute, phone's
ringing. . . wrong number, now
where was I,? Qh yes,
Alexander. . .Hold it a minute!

That strange: phenomena that occurs
in South Florida every year is nearly
upon us. Soon they will be coming -
they'll come .in swarms, they'll come in
droves, invading our fair cities and
having no mercy on our beaches.
"Who are these beasts?" you ask
yourselves, too terrified to question
aloud.
Once easily recognizable by their
alma mater sweat shirts, off-beat
bathing suits and all over ghostly
appearances, the "Northern Animal"
(also known as "College-Student-On-
Spnng-Break") had a new image,
blending in unusually well with the
melting-pot typicalness of the Fort
Lauderdale Strip.
In fact, fear of the group has
diminished, and closer observation of
the species reveals a richer, deeper and
darker tan than that of many native
Floridians.
It is doubtful one could hide his envy

Reading is a problem for some people and there are many resons.
Reading in some form is a necessity, not only in school but life in
general.
The facts of illiteracy are shocking. Right to Read, a program
aimed in abolishing illiteracy, accumulated these facts in 1974.
Approximately twenty-six million Americans, children and adults,
are illiterate. The Right to Read program considers reading "the
single most important skill for coping with life in a technical
. society."
Would you believe that even at college level reading is a
problem? It is. That's why there is a special center for reading on
campus. Many students who scored below the 25th percentile on
the twelfth grade placement test in reading are required to take the
reading course as a prerequisite to English. Some students
voluntarily come in to improve their skills.
Students who enter the program take a standardized test to
evaluate their existing reading skills. As disturbing as it may be,
some students score below the seventh grade reading level.
In an article entitled "Teen-aged Nonreader; Is There a Solution
to the Problerh?" which appeared in the September 1974 issue of
Education Digest, the author R. B. Shumnan wrote, "Reading
disabilities consitute one of the most perplexing and far-reaching
problems in secondary education today."
Mrs. Witherspoon, an instructor in the reading program on
campus, stated that the two most common problems students have
in reading are comprehension- and vocabulary.
Reading Program Head Dr. Bosworth said that there are a large
variety of reasons for student reading disabilhies.
Though many reasons exist, it is apparent that the American
school system is playing a large part. How could an effective school
system send large numbers of students through the twelfth grade
Mrs. Witherspoon
Dr. Bosworth
and hand them a diploma when some can't even read past a seventh
grade level? Isn t it time attention was given to this area of neglect
in our school system? *
JC's doing something about it and that's a beginning.

VD On The Rise
You'll lose your hair, lose your mind, itll cripple you and
make you blind, you'U die long before your time if you don't
watch out. Watch out!
ByKATHY LIZOTTE
Staff Writer
Eight out of 12 people, ranging
from tlie age of 12 to 24 years old
have, or have had that well-known
affliction called venereal disease.
Which is not to say that you have it,
but you might.
Venereal disease is a topic that
hardly anyone wants to talk about,
but this disease can lead to sterility,
blindness, crippling, insanity and
even death. It is now very
wide-spread and it is time we started
talking about it.
This disease, spreads from person
to person as a result of intimate
bodily contact. There are several
different kinds each with its own
symptoms and complications.
There must be bodily contact,
intimate or sexual in nature, for the
spread of this disease. The old
notion that it can be obtained by
shaking hands, off doorknobs, or
drinking glasses is not true.
Once you've had the disease you
are not immune to it.
The incidence of venereal disease
is on the increase. Every year it
kills, cripples, and seriously
endangers the physical and mental
well-being of millions of people. It
strikes at the rate of four victims a
minute.
The two big VD diseases are
gonorrhea and syphilis. Gonorrhea
signs appear within three to five
days after exposure to an infected
person. In men, the infected parts
iich, and pain is experienced during
urination. Women are seldom aware
of the infection in the early stages
because of the physical make-up of
their body and they usually are not
aware of it until the later stages.
The first signs of syphilis occur as
a sore (called a chancre) which
appears two ,to six weeks affer
exposure to the infected person. This
sore is painless and will disappear
without treatment. This does not
mean yoti are cured, it means you
are infected somewhere beneath the
surface.
The second stage of this disease
begins about six months after the
chancre. The symptoms are
baldness, sore throat, rashes on the
body,' fever and headaches. Even
these will disappear without
treatment. The next time you will be
aware of the disease it will bring
symptoms such as a crippling of the
nervous system, syphilitic insanity,
heart disease and death.
These diseases can only be
diagnosed properly by a physician,
he is also the only one who can treat
the disease for you. YOU CANNOT
TREAT YOUSELF! Besides,
there's a cheaper way. The free
venereal disease clinic in our county
is located at .826 Evernia Street,
West Palm Beach. Their phone
number is 832-8561. You probably
don't need to call them right now,
but you might.
Jackson Seeks Scholarship
To Floridians, "O.J." stands
for orange juice.
To UCLA and Buffalo Bills
fans, it's O.J. Simpson.
But to the students and
faculty at Palm Beach Junior
College, "O.J.." is Oveta
Jackson, the slender, attractive
president of OAA (Organization
for Alfro-American Affairs),
vice president of the Concert
Choir and member of the PBJC
Pacesetters.
"I was brought up in a
mtisical environment; my mot-
her plays the piano and sings,
and my cousin is a concert
pianist," says Oveta, the
daughter of the Robert Lee
Jacksons of Boynton Beach.
The singer studied piano for
eight years.
Runner-up in the Miss Palm
Beach County Pageant last year,
Oveta received the talent award
for her rendition of "Love Is
Where You Find It," and won a
S400 scholarship.
"My main reason for entering
again this year is for the
scholarship money offered,"
she explains.
"No one who enters loses,
even if the only thing gained is
experience," she adds.
The OAA officer has been
active in the club's activities,
taking part in the programs of
both the Odum - an African
festival presented last fall - and
the Martin Luther King
Commemoration in January.
The singer is one of five PBJC
students chosen for the
All-State Junior College Chorus
this year.
Oveta will graduate from
PBJC in Spring I, and plans to
go on to Howard University,
Washington, D.C. where she
will major in voice and will later
work toward a Master's Degree
in Vocal Performance.
She will be following in the
footsteps of her instructor, Mrs.
Pat Johnson, who also attended
Howard.
"Mrs. Johnson is a great
mujsician and a beautiful
person," the student declares.
' 'I've learned so much in such
a comparatively short time,
performing with the Paceset-
ters, with Mrs. Johnson not only
directing, but singing with us,"
Oveta continues.
Oveta Jackson is a silky-smooth
stylist moving up.
Concert Review
Dolly Parton
Steals Show
By DEBBIE WILLLAMS
Special Guest Writer
When the Country Shindig Family Show came to
the West Palm Beach Auditorium, the show was
sensational.
With artists such as Tgm T. Hall, Billy "Crash"
Craddock and Hank Williams, Jr., it couldn't have
been anything but good.
But it was Dolly Parton who lifted the show from
the level of good to great.
Dolly opened her segment of the show singing
"Joshua", after her brother. Randy Parton headed
"The Traveling Family Band" in several numbers.
As she stood on stage, cameras came alive, and
many people rushed forward to snap close-up shots
of her. After "Joshua", she went into an array of
exceptionally beautiful songs, including "The Coast
of Many Colors," "My Tennessee Mountain
Home," a medley of other female vocalist's hits,
"Jolene," "I Will Always Love You," and her most
recent single, "The Bargain Store."
One of the highlights of her show was when she
sang "Me And Little Andy," another of her many
compositions. Her accompaniment for this number
was one guitar, which she played herself. The
song's impact was tremendous. It is unrecorded as
of yet, but she plans to record it in the future. It
should be released as a single So that it can receive
ihe recognition it deserves.
In talking with Dolly backstage, 1 learned that she
spends approximately one third of each year on the
road. This alone tells someihing of the dedication
thai she shows .to her fans.
She is known as the female sex symbol fo country
music. This appears to be an advantage. It,
however, could easily prove distracting with those
male listeners who might become more concerned
with her outward appearance than with the talent
she has to offer.
Dolly told me that she doen't look at herself as a
sex symbol and doesn't promote that image,
although she does try to look as good as she can.
Her desire is for people to know her from ' 'the inside
out, not from the outside in."
"It makes me feel good if people, you know, pay
me compliments. Then, I feel like all that primping
wasn't in vain," she added with a laugh that range
with warmth and freindliness.
Dolly has won an impressive list of awards. She
and Portor Wagoner won the CMA award for "Duet
of theVear" a total of three years in a row. She has
also won awards for some of the songs she has
written, and has been named "female vocalist of the
year" by various magazines, such as "Billboard"
and "Cashbox".
After asking her what she thought of a career in
acting, I found that she has been offered parts in
movies, but that she doesn't feel she has talent in
thai area. On the other hand, she says that she has
given thought to someday doing a comedy, or
writing the story of her life and maybe playing that
pan.
As for being country, she had this to say, "I'm
really proud to be country. I'm proud to say that 1
am, because 1 'm a country person. 1 would like
my music to be accepted by all people and just let it
be Dolly Parton music. But, if anybody asks me my
title, 1 would always say country"
1 left her, feeling as though I had just had a visit
with an old friend.
Gefting Out Of Hand
By FLICK MAGER
Staff Writer
Be prepared to abandon your
arc to the pigeons. Safety
regulations, like everything else
itiday, are getting out of hand.
Ralph Nader and his followers
spent years condemning the
Corvair as "unsafe at any
speed" and instituting laws that
now require all cars to have
devices that scream, threaten,
and shout obscenities when you
forget to fasten your safety belts
Of take the key out of the
Ignition.
The Naderites are crusading
jgain. In the news not long ago
appeared an article concerning a
new safety gadget that may
soon be required on all cars.
It's based on the sound
reasoning that intoxicated
drivers cause a large percentage
of highway accidents. A small
electronic device with a
luimbered keyboard connects to
ilic car's ignition. Before a
driver can start his car he must
punch out a combination of
numbers on the device.
Supposedly, a person too drunk
or stoned to drive can't
remember the combination and
wouldn't have the coodination to
punch it correctly if he did.
Assume that this device
becomes standard equipment on
all vehicles. Thousands of
frustrated drunks will be
prevented from driving. Yet the
accident rate will probably
continue to rise.
It will only be a matter of time
before the Naderites go after

inoihcr cause of accidents: sex.
Admitiedly, the greatest a-
moum of this takes place after
ilic car is parked and therefore
poses no threat to traffic. Still,
nobody knows how often
, collisions have occurred as the
result of a driver taking his eyes
off the road once too often to
kiss his girlfriend.
Naderite lobbyists, perceiving
at once the seriousness of the
problem, will persuade Con-
gress to pass a law forbidding
men and women to ride in the
same front seat together. In
cases where this would not be
feasible, a Plexiglas barrier
would be required between
driver and passenger.
Yet, despite the absence of
drunk or overly amorous driver,
the aiccident toll still soars.
Obviously some solution must
be found before American
exterminates itself on the
highways.
Gallant Naderites, working
feverishly day and night on the
problem, come up with a
siariline conclusion: the prime
cause of car accidents is people!
In every recorded accident at
least one human being was
involved!
Within weeks legislation will
prohibit all people from driving
curs. Anyone caught surreptit-
iously starting a car will receive
a stiff fine. Anyone actually
driving an automobile must be
sentenced to prison.
Immediately the accident toll
will drop to almost nothing,
Garages can be converted into
extra bedrooms, and cars will
appear in backyards every-
where, filled with flowers and
.surrounded by rock gardens.
The nation will sigh with
relief - until the new laws come
out requiring safety belts,
hitching-post alarms, and roll
bars for (he family horse-and—
buggy.

Pacers Smash Rivals
BY LORI HILLEBRAND
Staff Writer
The men's tennis team aced Miami Dade South
Tuesday at home, with a score of 7-0.
Charels Wadlington, playing Da|de South's No.
1 man Milt Eichner, won 6-2, 6-0.' It looked as if
he might have more of a fight after he lost the
first game by scoring only once, but he then won
the next three games. It was a neck and neck
race in the fifth fame, with each opponent edging
toward .the finish, leaving Eichner the winner.
However, Wadlington never let him get ahead
in the reminader of the match, gaining three
games to give him the first set, and then winning
six consecutive games to take the second set.
Roberto Rizo also won his match, although a
spectator commented that Ri^o "seemed afraid
of the net", playingbackin the court the majority
of the time, and "also seemed to be down
mentally," Rizo finished 6-2, 6-4.
Gary Ray, playing in place of Norman Russell
who arrived late, outplayed his opponent Arnie
Mansur with a score of 6-1, 6-3. Pete Pulitzer
had a little more work to do in beating Jorge
Isaac, 7-S, 6-1.
John McCarley defeated George Simmon in a
tie-breaker, scoring 6-1, 7-6, 5-4. Simmon
commented that they "didn't get going until the
middle of the second set; he crunched me in the
first set.
Wadlington and Rizo were the champions of
their doubles competition with a score of 6-1, 6-2.
Pulitzer and McCarley also won, 6-2, 6-1.
The team also smashed Indian River
Community College Thursday, 7-0.
Wadlington overpowered Robert Dunn, 6-3,
6-2, and Rizo defeated Robin Roberts with the
same score. This win leaves Rizo undefeated so
far, with a 7-0 record.
Ray also won with the score of 6-3, 6-2, and
Pulitzer broke trend, winning 7-5, 6-1. McCarley
had a tougher race, but outplayed Ray DeCuba
3-6, 6-3, 6-2;
Wadlington and Rizo won in doubles action,
6-7, 6-2, 6-0. Pulitzer and McCarley defeated
Moore and Cunningham 6-4, 6-2.
According to Coach McGirty the keys to the
victory were "balance, scoring, and depth" in
the game. The team's overall record if S-2, but
5-0 in the division.
The team lost to Florida International
University Friday, 8-1, and gave Yale a close
match Sunday, but lost 4-5.
The team is matched against Miami Dade
North Tuesday, and McGirt feels that it will be
"the toughest match of the season", Dade North
being "very strong".

After talking to Roberto Rizo,
I realize that there is something

Roberto who is warm, and
humbly sensitive about what I
have to say about him.
When asked about his
personal goals for the season, it
was with hesitancy that he

wants the men's tennis team to

to win the state championship at
the No. 2 position. Yet his
motives are purely team-orien-
Softball Champs
Take First Win
Florida Bible College of
Hollywood was outmanned last
Thursday at Pence park in
Boynton Beach by the defending
state Softball champs, Palm
Beach, 38-1.
"I didn't expect much
because it's their first year,"
said Pacers Coach Bobbie
Knowles.
Dede Clayton capped the
sixth inning with a grand slam
homer and drove in at least five
runs during the game.
Earlyn Praett went S for 6,
and Dawn Pastore hit four
singles.
"we averaged 12 runs per
game last year. This will give
them confidence so they know
where they stand, but they have
a long way to go," said
Knowles.
The Pacers accepted an
invitation to the University of
South Florida Invitational April
12. Knowles commented that
only two JC's in the state.

tated, saying that in past years
"there have been a lot of second
and third places" won by JC,
and he feels the team can take
first place this year.
Rizo says that there is no
strategy involved in his playing
the No. 2 spot, "Coach thinks I
should play because I have a
chance to win at No. 2." He
mentioned that there are no
challenge matches between the
team members, that it is Coach
McGirt 's priority to choose who
will play what position, yet they
do not use a system where in
tougher matches the top players
would be seeded in lower
positions to insure ^ win, saying
"maybe the other coach would
think that way too."
Rizo's basic strategy in a
match consists of trying to keep
the ball in play, and then
placing the ball, "I do not hit
hard, I try to keep the ball in
play and let the other guy make
the errors." His goal is
"consistency," and putting his
opponent on the defense.
Roberto was recently elected
captain of the team, and is
happy with their improvement.
He does feel, however, that
there needs to be "more team
thinking, we need to think as a
team."
Just prior to the Florida
International University match,
Roberto was tied with Charles
Wadlington for the team's Tiger
Award, and award given to the
member of the team with the
least amount of losses at the end
of the season. Because of the

Timothy L. Broy-
By talking with managers,
players, other sprots writers,
and fans of baseball in South
Florida, I have deducted spring
(raining is essential.
The prirhary goal of a major
league manager is to comply a
winning combination in which
tie can rely on the balance of the
season,
Atlanta Braves manager
Clyde King, who after taking
over the Braves last season
rompiled a 38-25 record, said,
"We use spring training games
10 look over some of the younger
players. Then with about ten
games left we'll start playing
the players we expect to use on
opening day."
Nicknamed the "Comet", the
former National League pitcher
and now starting his first full
season at the Braves helm went
on to say, "We're going to win
period," and that his team did
later that day, 2-1 over the
Texas Rangers in the last of the
ninth.
Major League players have
many mixed emotions about the
Grapefruit season.
Los Angels Dodgers left
fielder Bill Buckner, who had
the club's longest hitting streak
17 games, last season, com-
mented, "Spring training does-
n't prove too much, especially
this year. The starters that are
going to play, are going to
play!" Buckner lead r the
National League champs at the
plate finishing with a .314
average.
Cincinnati Red utility infiel-
der Darrel Chaney says his
"goal is to get in shape."
Chaney, who's value to the Reds
is with his glove, commented,
"It's tough to adjust between
third, second and short,
especially when you don't play
everyday. ' '
Texas Ranger pitcher Bill
Hands, acquired from the
Minnesota Twins in September,
pei^onally feels that spribag
training is Just to "get In shape
and woric on timing. He also
emphasized a club must work on
a great positive mental attitude,
which he feels (he Rangers have
incorporated.
Ms. Bobbie Knowles, Physical Education and
Softball coach at JC, was elected chairman of
Girls and Women's Sports of the iSouthem
District of the American Association of
Health, Physical Education and Recreation.
"/ come to camp at 194
and by August I'm at
210 '•'
-BillPlummer
"It seems to me that the
newcomers, college kids and
rookies, don't know the
fundamentals of the game,"
said Cesar Geronimo, the
Cincinnati Reds developing
centerfielder. "That is what
Sparky (Anderson, Cincinnati
manager) has us working on the
most."
There is one Reds player,
although he comes into camp in
shape, will b« ont-of-shiqpe
before August rolls aroaiid. BiU
Plummber has the frnstrating
job of playing behind Johnny
Bench,
"I come in camp at 194 and by
August, after I've sat all season,
I'm at 210. It happensevery
year. I don't particularly like to
play behind Bench, but there's
nothing I can do," said
Plummer.
Other than the teams,
sweating and working hard,
Florida also prospers during the.
spring training months. Loyal
fans come from the cold, rainy,
down-right terrible weather in
the North to the 80 degree
temperatures and the warm
sunshine.
Some owners reportedly want
to cut the Grapefruit season in
half. But to the residence of
Florida, they would rather eat
their's whole.

Remember Maid Marian
holding hands with Robin
Hood? He was an archery
e.xpert and students participating
in JC intramurals can be too.
In JC's tournament, a student
gets eight arrows from 30, 40
and 50 yards out. He shoots a
total of 32 arrows for a
maximum score of 288 per
round. There are nine rounds
for each man.
Some essential equipment is
needed and is available from the
intramural department.
Bows vary in weight by the
number of pounds of effort that
is necessary to pull the
bowstring back. If when you pull
the string back the arrow is
almost at its end and the bow
feels right, it is the correct
weight for you. The bowstrings
are usually made of fine thread
dacron and vary in length,
strength and stretch. . They
usually have a marked nocking
point for accepting the nock of
the arrow.
Arrows must be of _ the same
stiffness and resiliency of the
shaft. Target arrows vary from
24 to 28 inches in length. Most
arrows now have plastic
feathers.
To shoot an arrow, stand at a
right angle with the target.
Pull the string back all the way
until it is almost to your face and
judge your distance by aiming
higher than the target and let
Now that you're prepared,
imagine yourself back in the
I6tli century when archery was
being phased out of warfare and
more and more contests began
to spring up. Go out to the
range and take advantage of a
sport that is free (paid for by

In its present form the Student Government
Association of Palm Beach Junior College should be
abolished. Within the framework of the SGA
constitution, misrepresentation, mishandling and
abuse of power have been able to thrive.
SGA does not adequately meet the needs of this
student body. The senate is a powerless unit which has
reduced itself to a meaningless debating society. The
Judiciary, watchdog of student government, was not
even appointed until late February and has not yet
convened this school year. Therefore, no one has been
able to discharge the crucial judicial responsibility of
deciding "if and when one department is interfering
with, or infringing upon the duties and powers of
another (SO constitution)."
Without a strong senate, the effect of having no
judiciary has left JC with an unchecked one-branch
government. , .the Executive Board.
Editorial
Unfortunately, most of the students and faculty
couldn't care less about student government as has
been demonstrated by the low voter turn-out. . But the
fact retnains that this year SG was handed, ft-orn
student-paid money, $37,000,
Out of the 61 people that are supposed to be in SG,
only four, the Executive Board members control the
entire $37,000 (the board does give the senate a $1,500
"special request fund,") The four Executive Board
members can do almost anything they want with this
money. The senate and judiciary have absolutely no
power to allocate theSe monies.
Investigations have revealed that the handling of SG
finances has been questionable. But this is only one of
many reasons why the present SG structure _cannot
work. Here are some others;

^Looming Center Limits Space
By BILL HUTCHINS
Staff Writer
Although there are presently
51 children on a waiting list to
attend the Center for Early
Learning in the fall, Ms.
Kathleen Bowser, director of
the center, estimated that there
would be only six openings.
"Many children who are
presently enrolled at the center
will continue there in the fall,"
explained Ms. Bowser. Unable
to take more than 22 children
because of classroom space
regulations, many parent-stu-
dents at JC will not be able to
utilize the Montessori learning
facility.
Biidget cuts "have hit us like
everyone else," said Ms.
Bowser as she showed this
reporter the trampled condition
of the center's lawns.
The children have a small
amount of paved space on which
. to use their wheeled tricycle and
related toys, she explained.
Upon reaching the edge of this
patio they ride out across the
grass in their play area. This
has eroded the grass consider-
ably leaving exposed soil in
places.
Recently, Chi-Sig, a JC
fraternity, lined the sandbox
with plastic and put in dean
vrfiite sand for the youngsters to
play in.
Her dream being a much
larger, expanded facility, Ms,
Bowser stated that at least one
furid-raising activity had been
surprisingly successful. A
children's "walkathon" staged
last year brought in about $200
for the center. A sc -d

for the near future.

Spring I Pre-registration continued through Friday despite
predicitions that the over 8,000 student semester hours available
wopld be gobbled up by Wednesday.
Following a priority list, registration was open to grads Monday,
cufrently enrolled residents, veterans, and those on college grants
Tuesday, out-of-state current students Thursday, and Friday for
foreign students.
According to Assistant Registrar Charles G. Graham, most
genera! education courses were filled to capacity Tuesday
afternoon.
Tuesday was also the day for the longest registration lines, which
often stretched to the east end of the Social Science Building.
In response to complaints that students were cutting into lines,
Graham said the registration staff was too overloaded to monitor the
situation. Graham suggested that Student Government or some
other organization control the lines at the next registration.
However, Graham was generally pleased with student response.
"Under the circumstances," said Graham, "they were
exceptional,"
Some courses, especially those in the Physical Education
Department, were waived, though the student would have to take a
course for the similar amount of credit. Graham noted that a larger
amount of students were able to switch over to other required
courses when sections closed.
As of the close of registration Wednesday, 7,121 semester hours
had been scheduled by 1663 students. Thus far, only 392 students
have paid fees, which are due Thursday, March 27. If not paid, a
student's classes are cancelled.
Regular Spring I Registration is to go on as scheduled May 6-9
with the same priority list in effect. Graham expects several general
education courses to be open as the result of students not paying
fees.

SG Senate Urges
Pool Construction
ByJOELTANEN
Staff Writer
The Student Government
Senate Thursday passed a
resolution, to petition JC
students for construction of a
swimming pool.
The resolution introduced by
President Pro Temp Sue Keen
states JC students are being
deprived of academic and
athletic resources because JC
has no swimming facilities.
Keen says the petition is only
to get student opinion and use
their support to present to the
board of trustees. She said the
pool was discussed three years
ago but nothing was done about
it.
"Funds are not available and
it's not feasable at this time" to
build a pool, commented
Senator James Cox.
Alex Bellas and John
McPhilomy were sworn in the
senate Thursday. Bellas
immediately used his senatorial
power saying JC students
presently use the pool at the
Lake Wonh Raquet Club and
feels money can be spent for
better things. He said JC needs

Emergency
Food Aid
By RENEE ANDERSON
Staff Writer
Peter Fahy discussed the
matter of the South County
Emergency Food Program last
Tuesday at the S.G. executive
board meeting.
This organiztion is coinposed
of people who are working for
the county, state welfare, and
other related agencies. Their
main objective is to distribute
food stamps and clothing to the
south county workers who are
eligible for food stamps but
aren't receiving any.
Fahy explained the reason for
many of these people not
receiving their share is due to
governmental red tape. This
organization is not only for
migrant workers but for all
people who are in this situation.
SG has offered their support
in helping to publicize and
organize drop off points for food
stuff. But Fahy still is in
desperate need of clubs and
organizations who will help him
support his cause both finan-
cially and time wise.

Bellas, JC has to rent a vehicle
every time an organization goes

$12 Per Credit Hour
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
By unanimous decisions, the PBJC District
Board of Trustees authorized an increase of fees
and set up Student Admission Priorities for the
Fall term 1975, Wednesday night.
Because of the action taken, JC students are to
pay $12.00 per credit hour as a resident, and
S27.00 as a non-resident of the State of Florida.
Dr. Harold C. Manor, president of JC
commented pertaining to the 1975-76 budget, "If
the legislature appropriates at least as much as
we received this year prior to the reduction; if the
Full Time Equivalent (FTE) assigned is no more
than 5200; and if the salaries required to staff the
secions now being scheduled by department are
in the amounts that we have projected, we
believe that we can prepare a very conservative
budget for the 1975-76 year."
He also stated that it did not appear that it will
be necessary to terminate any faculty or freeze
salaries.
Because of the cap of students, the Board
passed priorities for admission to PBJC.

They will meet and recommend to the Board
"what is in the best interest of the college."
Then the Board will meet in special session to
hear recommendations for consideration from the
three appointed board members.
Vice-President Mrs. Tinetted Robinson stated
the case for the United Faculty. They are
demanding to be "recognized as the exclusive
bargaining agent at PBJC."
Attorney Burke also stated that Tory Buckley,

The Board accepted retirements of JC
Registrar Laurence H. Mayfield, and Leon B.
Warner effective June 30, 1975.
Mayfield has been with PBJC since 1958, first
serving as a guidance counselor and psychology
instructor. He became Evening Registrar in 1959
and was appointed Registrar in 1968.
He is a native of Mulvane, Kansas and earned
his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Kansas State
University.
Leon B. Warner, 67, Director of Financial Aid,
also retiring as of June 30, 1975, Warner, who
received his B.A. from Union College,
Schenectedy, New York, has been a faculty
member for 12 years.

For the past few months Student Government
Senators Bart Cunningham and Bill Penney have
been researching the feasibility of PBJC
endorsing a new student ID card system.
At the February 27, SG senate meeting,
Cunningham had a representative from Polaroid
Camera demonstrate a machine that takes a
student's picture, duplicates it, then laminates it
on a card along with the student's criteria.
If purchased, the machine will cost $1990 and
the film for 8000 students pictures including the
duplicate (total 1600 pictures) to be kept on file
will cost S4,000. The price per card is
approximately 67 cents and should sell for one
dollar.
The two senators want SG to purchase the
machine and film. According to Penney the
machine would pay for itself during the first term
of use. If leased, a $40 charge per month on a
yearly basis are the conditions of contract.
Cunningham plans to send the future profits to
the JC administration.
"I feel our main job was to introduce this thing
and not to research it from top to bottom," said
Cunningham.
With the picture ID's, Security could quickly
identify students from non-students. The card
size fit the embrossing machines in the JC library
and would be used as library cards as well as for
identification. The card serves as admission to
assemblies and eliminates students from
borrowing JC ID's to pass as a JC student.
Penney doesn't want the administration to over
charge and cheat the student body, but feels SG
shouldn't be a watchdog either.
"Why should we set the guidelines" asked
Penney.
Cunningham and Penney plan to talk with JC
President Dr. Harold C. Manor and present a
complete outline. If Manor buys the deal and SG
purchases the machine and film, ID card
operations will begin in the 1975 fall term.

The ninth annual conference
of the Southeastern Florida
Social Science Association was
held in the SAC Lounge at 9:30
on Friday, March 14. The title
of the conference was "The Role
of the Social Sciences in
Ecology."
According to Dr. Richard
Yinger, program chairman and
organizer from PBJC's social
science department, "The goals
of this conference are to show
the importance of the Social
Sciences in the study of ecology
and to encourage the social
scientist to take an active role in
ecology.
The first speaker was Mr.
Marty Hartman, from the
biology department of PBJC,
discussing "A Global View of
Ecology." Mr. Hartman
discussed overpopulation and
depletion of resources that man
is not replacing.
The second speaker was Mr.
Bob Bergen, from the Pine Jog
Environmental Science Center,
who spoke about ecology locally.
He suggested that, "Maybe we
should suspend population
growth in South Florida until we
can determine what our capacity
is."
Scott Herrick, field director of
the American Friends Service
Committee gave a speech on the
universal view of ecology, "Is
there intelligent life on earth?"
Survival he feels is a race
between awareness and catas-

Senator's 4-Year College Plan
By ROBIN PETERSEN
Staff Writer
Is PBJC to become a four year university? If
SG senator Carl Hensley has his way, this idea
may become a reality.
, ■ : Acicording to Hensley, "It is my own idea in
response to the education cutbacks. Students are
forced into community colleges and it is expected
that many graduating seniors and possibly many
JC transferees won't be accepted (by upper level
universities)."
"PBJC includes Martin, Okeechobee, P.B.
County, and surrounding areas. West Palm
Beach is accepted as being the population center
and should be the educational center also." He
pointed out that the educational opportunities of
a four year state supported university are scarce.
The closest is the USF in Tampa-. The "University
of Miami is private while FIU and FAU are upper
divisional only.
Hensley remarked, "A degree from a large
state supported school puts more credibility to
your degree than one from a small school such as
FAU. „ J
Hensley, in researching the subject, talked to
Dr. Manor and Dean Tate: He reported that they
are opposed to it. Dr. Manor thought that the
upper divisional universities serve many
surrounding areas and continues the lower
divisional programs. It is Hensley's feeling that,
"FAU is designed to serve Broward and Palm
Beach County, but Boca Raton is in the southern
tip of the county and is inconvenient to commute
to."
Another point that Dr. Manor brought out
against the state supported four year college
locally is that we already have an extension of
FAU at 45th St. in West Palm and in Stuart.
Hensley feels that, "This is a start in the right
direction. Since it is a new program, many
classes are unavailable." Also, the televised
teaching used for many classes on 45th Street is
not as effective and beneficial for students as
with an instructor.
Dr. Manor was also concerned with the idea
that it would cost too many tax dollars • to
establish another four year university.
Hensley counters "It would be a good
investment to meet the educational needs of the
community. Our county has a large expected
population growth." ; -
Where would the additional land come from to
build the dorms and other facilities? Hensley
feels that we could encourage the county to
donate John Prince Park which surrounds JC on
two sides, "John Prince Park is closed at night,
therefore the county is not getting full use of the
park anyway.
"We don't have a four year college in this
county. The county school board operates under '
an 8 mil cap (a mil is a tax term - one mil is worth
approximately S2.5 million). This is unfair to the
residents of PBC, the richest county in Florida
tax wise. We are supporting education in the less
affluent counties. We are not getting a fair
return on our money on the university level either
because we don't have a four year state
supported university any closer than Tampa."

that all budget estimates must
be submitted to Dean Tate by

based on percentages or money
from last year's figures.
Amendments would be in order

buting to students.
Also the selection of an editor

*Of the 20 undersecretaries in the Executive Cabinet, none have
been appointed as called for in the constitution. Therefore, the
advisory department, with the exception of five cabinet officers, is
non-existent.
♦Mishandling of SG elections has become routine. During the
last election the possibility exists that the Florida "Sunshine Law"
was violated. This and other matters are under^investigation by the
Faculty Senate.
*The present constitution and election laws are a joke. They are
poorly written and riddled with loopholes, vagueness and
ambiguities.
*SG has isolated itself from the student. The constitution calls for
student body assemblies conducted fay SG; none have been called.
Invitations to write open letters to the students, in the
Beachcomber, have been ignored. The SG newsletter, although
encouraging, is not enough.
The inability of SG to function as the governing body of JC is
obvious. However, it is no longer useful to simply criticize SG. It is
time to change it.
The current system of student government should be abolished.
One alternative to it could be to establish^ Faculty Senate Standing
Committee.
This committee would be composed of 12 students, elected by the
student body each fall. The 12 students would elect their own
chairman.- Within the committee, subcommittees would be
established to handle various governing affairs and to report to the
committee.
The Faculty Senate, by a two-thirds vote, could veto committee
action. In turn the committee, by two-thirds vote, could appeal a
senate ruling to the District Board of Trustees, whose decision
would be final.
The Faculty Senate would be required to review all committee
action, particulary the disbursement of monies. One major
advantage of this system is that it would encourage students and
faculty to work together.
Student Government, some of whose members have expressed a
lesire to change to some type of committee system, must
mmediately cancel the upcoming election.
Dr. Harold C. Manor, JC president, should immediately appoint
n Ad Hoc committee composed of students and faculty to explore
he plan. The Ad Hoc committee should be instructed to report its
findings and methods of implementation to Dr. Manor and to the
students, no later than April 18, 1975. Then immediate action must
be taken to enforce the new plan by the '75 fall term.
h is important to point out that the new structure proposed is only
a framework. But certain elements must be an integral part of any
new plan.
Any new structure must be small, the present 61 people Fs too
many. Provisions must be made for reviews by professional people.
Student monies must be safeguarded. Above all, it must work for
the benefit of all students.
Money Goes Funny
Last year 14 people from Phi Theta Kappa went to a convention.
At that time the Executive Board of SG granted them $700.00 to
meet convention expenses.
This year 32 people have signed up to go to the National Phi Theta
Kappa convention to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Not all
of these people are expected to go (at the last convention meeting
only 18 showed up).
Phi Theta Kappa claims an enrollment of over 200, however only
30 are considered active (at the Benjamin Franklin speech they
sponsored, only 6 members went).
Because of this overwhelming interest in Phi Theta Kappa, the
SG Executive Board granted the 32 members $3,0(X).00 for
convention expenses.
In review, last year 14 people went to convention and received
$700.00. This year 32 people are wg&ed up to tta Jwd thev lw»e

It is no secret that the State of

made about budget priorities
and policy changes in light of a
drastic revenue shortfall. The
facts are essentially these:

Editor:
The article of March 17,
entitled "Budget • Funds in

erroneous. You have charged

Your retraction of these

general revenue of $2,325
billion, an increase of $250
million over the 1974 academic
year.
*The Division of Community
Colleges was appropriated $146
million of this total. Since the
fall of 1974, the projected state
revenue has fallen far behind
and revenue collections will be
in the $2. to S2.1 billion range.
*To accommodate this short-
fall the total state surplus of
$105 million has been commit-
ted, certain building projects
deleted, and state agencies
subjected to a 3.3% reduction in
anticipated expenditures. For
the state community colleges
this has resulted in a reduction
for this academic year of
approximately $5 million.
*The projections of revenue
for the 1975 academic year- are
unstable, but are unlikely to be
substantially greater than this
year's.
To avoid unconscious serious
damage to programs, it is
important that state budget
policy makers have the best
possible information and m-
sight. Stringent times present
an opportunity for major reform
in budgetary and program
priorities and for improvements
in the efficiency of governmen-
tal services.
The 3.3% reduction applied
across the board is an abdication
of policy responsibility and
strikes at the important and
marginal, the efficient and
inefficient, with equal force.
This is a time to make inroads
against inefficiency, waste, and
unnecessary programs. In some
areas, we need a 100% cutback,
not a 3.3% cut; and, in other
areas, such as student financial
aid, significant increases are
required.
In setting higher education
budget policies, the state has
not adequately consulted with
and solicited the opinions of the
primary consumers of the
service, namely, the students.
The policy-makers for higher
education institutions can rio
longer be indifferent to your
views. The best thinking of all
citizens is particularly important
at this time.
Therefore, I am requesting
and urging that you send me
any ideas and suggestions for
budget deletions or reductions,
shifts of emphasis, or realloca-
" tion of responsibilities, which
will have a minimum effect upon
program quality.
In the next few weeks the
Senate Education and Ways and
Means Committees will finish
preliminary budget hearings
and enter a second phase of
detailed review prior to final
budget decisions. I would like
to hear from you - individually,
or by groups - as soon as
possible.
Your letters should cite
specific examples, names,
program titles, where possible
account numbers, and other
sources for follow up of more
detailed information. If we are
going to proceed along these
lines, we will need facts, and not
just idle rumors or fanciful
bitching. Since these letters
and communications will consti-
tute public records, should you
feel compelled not to reveal your
identity, be sure and provide
specific information and data on
your ideas, with references.
Address your ideas to: Senator
D. Robert Graham, Chairman,
Senate Education Committee,
14420 Northwest 60th Avenue,
Miami Lakes, Florida 33014.
I promise you that all of the
suggestions and proposals I
receive from you will be
acknowledged, duly considered,
and wherever possible, imple-
mented by incorporation within
the legislative appropriations
bill or separate legislation.
I urge you to participate in
this process. Thank you for your
assistance.

findings and methods of implementation to Dr. Manor and to the
students, no later than April 18, 1975. Then immediate action must
be taken to enforce the new plan by the '75 fall term.
It is important to point out that the new structure proposed is only
a framework. But certain elements must be an integral part of any
new plan.
. Any new structure must be small, the present 61 people fs too
many. Provisions must be made for reviews by professional people.
Student monies must be safeguarded. Above all, it must work for
the benefit of all students.
Money Goes Funny
Last year 14 people from Phi Theta Kappa went to a convention.
At that time the Executive Board of SG granted them $700.00 to
meet convention expenses.
This year 32 people have signed up to go to the National Phi Theta
Kappa convention to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Not all
of these people are expected to go (at the last convention meeting
only 18 showed up).
Phi Theta Kappa claims an enrollment of over 200, however only
30 are considered active (at the Benjamin Franklin speech they
sponsored, only 6 members went).
Because of this overwhelming interest in Phi Theta Kappa, the
SG Executive Board granted the 32 members $3,000.00 for
convention expenses.
In review, last year 14 people went to convention and received
$700.00. This year 32 pe^e are tuaed up to g,a mi4 tk«y Wye

Senator Needs Students
To: Students, Florida Commu-
nity colleges
From: Senator D. Robert
Graham, Chairman, Senate
Education Committee.
It is no secret that the State of
Florida faces a difficult fiscal
year. Hard decision must be
made about budget priorities
and policy changes in light of a
drastic revenue shortfall. The
facts are essentially these:
*The total operating budgets
for state government for the
current academic year were
predicated on an assumed state
Lang Protests
Editor:
The article of March 17,
entitled "Budget .Funds in
Question", is fallacious and
erroneous. You have charged
not only myself but the
professional staff of this college.
Your retraction of these
statements and insinuations,
replaced by accurate accounts of
the entire story, is a necessity.
Furthermore, if you wish to
insult the integrity of members
of SG and employees of the
Board of Trustees please do so
with hard core facts and not
personally conceived inuendos.
David L. Lang

Editor:
.1 would like to take this
opportunity to commend Rob
Abrams and Bob Tnttle for their
awareness and quick action on
the curriculum committee.
They were successful in
passing a motion to table the
change in the current chemistry
program for the coming year.
It's great to see our SG m

general revenue of $2,325
billion, an increase of $250
million over the 1974 academic
year.
*The Division of Community
Colleges was appropriated $146
million of this total. Since the
fall of 1974, the projected state
revenue has fallen far behind
and revenue collections will be
in the $2. to $2.1 billion range.
*To accommodate this short-
fall the total state surplus of
$105 million has been commit-
ted, certain building projects
deleted, and state agencies
subjected to a 3.3% reduction in
anticipated expenditures. For
the state community colleges
this has resulted in a reduction
for this academic year of
approximately S5 million.
*The projections of revenue
for the 1975 academic year- are
unstable, but are unlikely to be
substantially greater than this
year's.
To avoid unconscious serious
damage to programs, it is
important that state budget
policy makers have the best
possible information and in-
sight. Stringent times present
an opportunity for major reform
in budgetary and program
priorities and for improvements
in the efficiency of governmen-
tal services.
The 3.3% reduction applied
across the board is an abdication
of policy responsibility and
strikes at the important and
marginal, the efficient and
inefficient, with equal force.
This is a time to make inroads
against inefficiency, waste, and
unnecessary programs. In some
areas, we need a 100% cutback,
not a 3.3% cut; and, in other
areas, such as student financial
aid, significant increases are
required.
In setting higher education
budget policies, the state has
not adequately consulted with
and solicited the opinions of the
primary consumers of the
service, namely, the students.
The policy-makers for higher
education institutions can rio
longer be indifferent to your
views. The best thinking of all
citizens is particularly important
at this time.
Therefore, I am requesting
and urging that you send me
any ideas and suggestions for
budget deletions or reductions,
shifts of emphasis, or realloca-
" tion of responsibilities, which
will have a minimum effect upon
program quality.
In the next few weeks the
Senate Education and Ways and
Means Committees will finish
preliminary budget hearings
and enter a second phase of
detailed review prior to final
budget decisions. I would like
to hear from you - individually,
or by groups - as soon as
possible.
Your letters should cite
specific examples, names,
program titles, where possible
account numbers, and other
sources for follow up of more
detailed information. If we are
going to proceed along these
lines, we will need facts, and not
just idle rumors or fanciful
bitching. Since these letters
and communications will consti-
tute public records, should you
feel compelled not to reveal your
identity, be sure and provide
specific information and data on
your ideas, with references.
Address your ideas to: Senator
D. Robert Graham, Chairman,
Senate Education Committee,
14420 Northwest 60th Avenue.
Miami Lakes, Florida 33014.
I promise you that all of the
suggestions and proposals I
receive from you will be
acknowledged, duly considered,
and wherever possible, imple-
mented by incorporation within
the legislative appropriations
bill or separate legislation.
I urge you to participate in
this process. Thank you for your
assistance.

"Shampoo", an "effervescent"
flick that is overrated with tones
of pornography.
Warren Beatty, a single
swinger and Hollywood hair-
dresser, does more undressing
than hairdressing.
GoldieHawn does a mediocre
job of acting as the traditional
dumb blond. The only good
thing to be said about Hawn is
her superb facial expressions.
Julie Christie puts a dampter
on the whole movie, and her
sexual excursions with Beatty in
public go over like a lead kite.
The humor is there, but the
viewer is dragged painfully
through bad acting, a nothing
plot based on Beatty's attempt
to open his own salon, slow

Khaki CrazeCreates Cynicism
f I
i I
ByFUCKMAGER
Staff Writer
Ever wonder what will get
recycled next?
You probably thought manu-
facturers and advertisers were
left holding the faded blue
duffel bag when the denim craze
came apart at the seams, but no
chance. The people who brought
you recycled blue jeans made
into everything from patchwork
jackets and handbags to faded
roilet seats, radios and car
seatcovers, have come up with a
new gimmick:- old khaki.
MADEMOISELLE maga
zinc's" latest issue features
olive-drab khaki (as used in
army fatigues) made into
raincoats jackets and assorted
other cute items. Although
olive drab is a color to make the
livliest complexion look raiide-
wed the magazine predicts it
will be "the color" in years to
come, as denim blue used to be.
Just as people scrambled to
buy up worn-out, scungey jeans,
they will now race to attics and
Army-Navy stores to acquire
every existing scrap of well-
worn khaki.
But eventually this phase,
too, will die out, mostly because
the khaki will be used up. There
are very few things left to seize
upon and recycle.
Paper bags are a possibility,
of course, but they wouldn't
hold up too well in a drenching
rain. Worn out carpet has the
necessary scruffiness, but
could not be- comfortable as
halter tops or tailored suits.
No, the best bet for the next
recycled madness is old
underwear. What could ■ be
more ecologically virtuous than
reuing these untapped re-
sources?
The possibilities are endless.
The more faded, stained, and
motheaten the underwear, the
better. Long Johns can be cut
down into tank tops and
revealing bikinis. Old padded
bras make great knee warmers.
Other items can be torn apart
and patched into great-looking
pants, upholstery and bed-
spreads.
"Once the trend beings there'll
be no stopping it. Better Homes
and Gardens will run pictures of
entire family rooms redecorated

Sooner or later the supply of
undergarments is bound to give
out, though, and- then the
trend-setters will really be
stuck. Maybe someone could
work up a neat little deal with
fig leaves.
f Frankly Speaking
Man Will Change
Frank Smith
Natural selection is an
interesting topic so I naturally
selected it for discussion.
Natural selection states that
desirable traits will contribute to
a specie's continuance. This is a
theory of evolution.
What I know of the
regeneration of desirable traits
makes me form certain
conclusions. There will always
be women as beautiful as Sophia
Loren Reproduction in those
cases are highly desirable.
People have often thought to
try and influence genetic
offspring by attemtping to breed
with exceptional people. In one
case, a beautiful lady proposed
marriage to a great writer
anticipating a child of her looks
and his intelligence. The writer
wrote his refusal saying he was
afraid the child may happen to
have his looks and her .brains.
Evolutionists have tried to
predict the future development
of man arid a popular concept is
that future man will possess a
six fingered hand. (Be one heck
of a pianist!)
It used to be environment
controlled what members of the
human species would survive to
reproduce. It's true today, in a
strange way.
Future man will have quicker
reflexes. People with slower
reflexes will die in auto
accidents.
Future man will be more wary
and cautious, modern techno-
logy holds many traps for the
foolish. One of these traps is
called war.
The people of the future will
have a greater resistance to
poisons. Pollution will week out
the weaker individuals.
Since technology allows
people to live with weaker teeth
through dentistry, and allows
them to live with weaker eyes
with .glasses, and provides with
hearing devices hearing deffic-
iencies, dental, optical and
auditory ailments will become
more numerous.
The future holds, more
emphasis on idle, thought than
action so more people should
read my column.

Rod Jones, a 6' 4" native of
Lexington Ky., threw the first
no-hitter in the history of PBJC
Thursday, with a 4-0 win over
St. Francis. College of Brooklyn,

were by errors."
Jones says he has the left side
of the infield to thank for
salvaging his nine hitless
innings with 10 put-outs. Bob
Benda, the Pacers 5' 8"-
shortstop, dove to catch a line
shot in the fifth to save the game
for Jones. Benda and Dave
Lang, the Pacers third-baseman
each had five put-outs.
JC picked up a run in the sixth
as Glenn Rogers hit a single up
the middle and eventually
scored on a passed ball.
In the eighth, Rogers again
got on base with a walk. He
stole second and went to third
on an overthrow by the St.
Francis catcher. Same Testa
ripped a single to score Rogers.
After St. Francis issued a
walk to Mike Rowe, Skip Walker
hit a tightrope double down the
left field and drove in Testa and
Rowe to cap the Pacers scoring.
JC needs four' wins to better
the 8-5 mark, which is their best
conference record. They also
need only six more wins to

One of the dominating factors
to the success of the JC baseball
team in the early part of the

Glenn is a fine fielder,

better, last year's overall
record.
Rhodes attributes the early
success with a balanced,
experienced club.
"The key word in 1975 is
experience. All our players this
year, whether returning from
last year or freshman, have had
good baseball experience and
lots of it.
"We have the best ball club
we have ever had," continued
Rhodes, "We looked tough at
Downtown (Miami Dade)."
The Pacers sweeped a double
header last Tuesday, March 11,
in Miami, 3-2, 3-1. Before
Tuesday JC had never beat ,
Downtown.
Referring to the 15-6, 1-0
losses to Miami-Dade North,
Sam Testa, who is leading the
club in stolen bases (9), said,
"The pitchers just took the
apple Friday. Saturday, it was
just a freak play. A ball hit up
the middle that hit the bag. If
the ball had not hit the bag, they
would never have scored."
"We're one of the few teams
■ that can beat them."
Commenting on Tuesday's
games, Testa says, "everyone's
relaxing after playing the No. 1
team in the nation (Miami-Dade
North)."
In the Buffalo University
series, Dave Lang broke a five
year record. Lang hit .safely
eight consecutive times/ splitt-
ing the record set by Richard
Dwyer in 1970.
Eddie Fisher pushed his
record to 2-0 with the 12-0
shutout of Newark College of
Engineering Wednesday, Mar.

Rhodes commented, "All we

Walter Alston calls Perez one

RBI's, and in 1974, 34. "I don't

The JC Women's Tennis
Team currently has a record of
S2-3 and one of the reasons for
this achievement is the play of
the No. 3 player, Marina
Polman Tuin.
Polman Tuin who is a foreign
exchange student from Holland
has the best individual record
\vith a 12-2 mark and was
seeded third in the No. 3 singles
in the recent FJCC Womens
Tennis Tournament on the Palm
Beach courts.
She is majoring in foreign
Ltnguages at JC and physical
tiierap) in Holland. Siie is 19
vears old and has been playing
tennis for eight years.
In regard to winning Polman
Tuin says, "I would rather win
for the team than myself." She
went on to say that she had no
real strategy and would just
return the serve with no
placement.
She now is able to hit the ball
cross court and is working on
placement.
Polman Tuin states, "I like
playing singles when I'm
winning but I like playing
doubles. Janet (Fabiani) and I
play really well together.
"The gTrls in Holland are
stronger than the girls are
here." The difference in tennis
in Holland and tennis here is
"they don't have scholarships
and teams in schools there and
they do here." comments
Polman Tuin.
Inquiring about the lifestyle
in Holland Polman Tuin assured
me there are windmills and
tulips but the people don't walk
around in wooden shoes and
there isn't a little boy with his
finger in the dike.

"Tight AAoney" Plagues
JC Basketball House
By ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
JC's out-of-state basketball
players are provided with a
place to live as part of a
scholarship program begun four
years ago. They call this place
'the basketball house.'
Flayers have complained
about the condition of the
house, where six are now living.
They say they've been plagued
by plumbing problems, a broken
stove which they fixed them-
selves, a broken air conditioner,
a broken heater and locks that
can easily be picked. Plumbing
problems forced them to use the
restroom at John Prince Park for
several weeks.
"I'm sure other teams have
better facilities," commented
JC Pacer Richard Nelson.
According to Athletic Director
Dr. Howard Reynolds, a few
teams do have better facilities.
For example, Indian River
Community College recently
bought two motels for their
out-of-state athletes and are
negotiating for a third. He said
PBJC doesn't have the money
for that.
"The situation is getting
tougher and tougher," he said.
"Money is getting tighter. We
try to find the best place with
the money we have and make
life as tolerable for them as we
can."
Money was not the only
problem in finding a place
according to Reynolds.
"Many landlords didn't want
to rent to them," he said. "They

maintain the house, the constant nickel and diming has decreased

just don't want to rent to young
people."
Basketball Coach Bob Wright
said he visits the house often,
has worked on the plumbing
himself, and cleaned and
painted the house.
"We do the best we can for
them," he said. "We take what
finances we have and go as far
as we can. "

Student Government Executive Board ' elections are
April 14-17, and three voting machines will be open today and
night students.
In past elections only two machines have been available to
voters. The three machines are to be located outside the
administration building, cafe, and the business patio.
SG supervisor of elections, Theresa LaFore expects up to 1200
students at the polls. The average number of votes in past SG
elections is 300. Election times are 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and
6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Running for office are: Pres., Jim Cox, Kim Jones, Randy
Simler; V.Pres., Ron Bukley, Sue Keen; Sec, Lynn Kalber;
Treas., Tom McCulIough, and Paul Sapp. An assembly to hear
their speeches is planned for April 11 at 9:50 a.m. in the JC
auditorium.
During the last SG election a Beachcomber reporter was not
allowed to witness the machine counts. SG is not underHa. state
law which says anyone can witness the counts.
"It's up to the individual school or organization to make up
their own law," said LePore.
According to LePore, P.B. County Supervisor of Elections
Jackie Winchester suggested that a member of the press
witness the counts to eliminate accusations about foul play.
LePore got in touch with all PBJC clubs and organizations
trying to get poll workers.
"I hate to say it, but I haven't had any response from any of
them so far, " she commented.
Reynolds explained that a
certain amount of money is
allocated to each sport and the
coach spends it according to his
discretion, deciding how much
should go to scholarships,
equipment and trips.
The basketball scholarship
program provides $25 a week,
$12.50 , in meal tickets and
$12.50 in cash, for most of the
out-of-state players. Some have
complained that this is not
enough money, and it isn't
possible to eat three square
meals a day on that amount.

51 Percent-
Athletes Taking Over
■J.MicheleNotter-
Has anyone been watching
the Athletic Department? Last
year (1973-74) two athletes ran
and were elected for president
and vice-president of Student
Government. Last year Athletics
was urged, by the Student
Senate, to take the women's
athletic programs under their
department and budget money
for their activities, which they
eventually did.
This year (1975-76) an
Athletic Committee offered a
resolution to the Faculty Senate
to restructure the Student
Activity Fee Committee (SAFC).
The Faculty Senate passed the
resolution. If approved by the
Board of Trustees, the new
SAFC will be comprised of three
faculty members appointed by
the Faculty Senate, four
students: one apiece from
Communications, Humanities,
Student Government and Ath-
letics. A permanent chairperson
will be appointed by Dr. Manor
and all will have equal voting
power.
On March 26, the Athletic
Department announced that it
would offer eight scholarships to
women's sports. Each scholar-
ship will pay tuition for one
term. Foiir will go to tennis and
four to Softball. (The women's
Softball team came in first in the ,
state last year). Currently, the
men's scholarships are on a two
or four term basis, paying more
than tuition.

Music Department
Edlforial Negates Student Rights
Dear Editor,
I would like to respond to the
Beachcomber editorial, "Now Is
The Time For Change." The
editorial stated that Student
Government is not doing an
effective job in the state it is
now in.
While this may or may not be
true, 1 firmly reject the
suggestion offered by the
Beachcomber that a Faculty
Senate Standing Committee be
instituted.
In essence, the 12 students
and chairperson who make up
the student committee would be
directly under the thumb of the
Faculty Senate in all matters.
How long has it taken college
students to gain their rights in
the educational system? We still
don't have enough say-so in our
curriculum or on the Board of
Trustees. We are not children
who need to be lead by
"professional people."
1 wonder why the Beach-
comber would endorse such a
policy. Is SG, and the Student
Activity Fee Committee (SAFC)
asking too many questions
about the other organizations on
campus?
The Beachcomber suggestion
comes at a time when the
Faculty Senate has just voted to
restructure the SAFC. If this
resolution (which was offered by
the Athletic Department) is
approved by the Board of
Trustees, the SAFC will be
comprised of 4 faculty members
and 4 students.
The only conclusion that I can
reach about these two actions,
both of which if approved, take
power away from the students
(who are represented by SG and
SAFC) and put it into the hands
of Dr. Manor and the Faculty
Senate is that SG and SAFC
have been asking too many
questions about Beachcomber
and Athletic organization and
funding. The instructors involv-
ed in these programs would gain
the perpetuation of their
programs through the additional
power of the Faculty Senate.
Michele Notter
Student Government has just
held the filing for their
Executive Board. Two athletes
filed, one for vice-president,
who was disqualified, and Tom
McCuUough for treasurer.
All of these actions follow in
the wake of SG and private
actions directed at a possible
re-evaluation of the athletic
Department's programs and
funding.
The resolution on the Student
Activity. Fee Committee was
offered after Student Govern-
ment sponsored a straw ballot.
One question on the ballot asked
whether Athletics should re-
ceive approximately one-third of
the Student Activity Fee as it
presently does. In favor: 142;
opposed: 151.
Also, students were asked if
they favor an increase (110 did)
or a decrease (137 did).
Obviously, the persons res-
ponding were divided.
And then, there were the two
athletes who filed for SG
positions who would, if elected,
help to appoint the individuals
to the current Student Activity
Fee Committee. This committee
allocates all the funds to the
various organizations on cam-
pus including Athletics.
Immediately before the Ath-
letic Department annouonced
the women's scholarships, two
incidences occurred.
The first occurred on the
evening of March 19 when a
Florida Flasher was placed in
the middle of the baseball field
and a sign was placed on home
plate saying "Sisters unite, Join
the fight for equal rights, No
student funds for discrimina-
tion, Castrate the sexist dogs in
the Administration."
The second incident was the
writing of a resolution to SG by
Kimberly Jones, stating in
essence that the Athletic
Department was in possible
violation, because they did not
offer comparable benefits (to
women) in the Athletic
Department, of Title IX of the
Educational Amendments of
1972. If found in violation, this
would terminate all federal
funds to PBJC.
It seems that the Athletic
Department is trying to appease
critics by token scholarships to
women.
It is also trying to insure the
perpetuation of the depart-
ment's funding by restructuring
the Student Activity Fee
Committee away from SG to
faculty members. Currently the
SAFC is made up solely of
students.
It would also appear that
athletes are trying to become
active in SG, possibly as a
controiing factor.

Slater, Womans First AtJC

■i
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
Taking advantage of the Ifegality of recruiting
women athletes, Palm Beach recently signed
Athlantic High School's premier softball player,
JoAnn Slater.
Having played all of the infield positions. Slater
lead the Eagles to the Suncoast Conference
Championship defeating John I. Leonard two out
of three games this past season.
She hopes to enroll in the Dental Hygiene school
at JC, but in the meantime she is taking courses in
the college's dual enrollment program.
"I always played around with a bat and a whiffle
ball when Iwas little," commented JoAnn, "My
first organized experience came in the seventh
grade in Delray. ' '
Her high school coach Sharon Whittelsey, a
former JC student recommended her und Reynolds
followed up on the talented female, who's batting
average was .564.
Upon receiving one of the half scholarships Jo
Ann said, "This gives more of an opportunity for
everyone else. Instead of picking the select couple,
everyone gets a chance . "
"Giving out scholarships to women has been
always legal," said Athletic Director Dr. Howard
Reynolds, "but now the Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) says
its legal to recruit women."
As of now, Palm Beach has not received any
funds for women's scholarships, so Reynolds has
taken from each of the four men's sports in order to
provide for the three women's intercollegiate
teams - softball, golf and tennis.

Senate Supports Seat Money
By JOEL TANEN
Staff Writer
The Student Government
Senate and the Women For
Office Workers (WOWS) both
support recent proposals to
cushion JC auditorium seats.
WOWS were the first to
contribute to a fund to get the
seats padded.
At the March 27 Senate
meeting, a motion was made
and seconded to support the
proposal.
Phi Rho Phi, the honorary
speech fraternity, has a goal to
cushion the 500 seats. JC
Clerk-typist Marian Gladding
and switchboard operator Mary
Powell donated a $110 check
towards the project.
"We are pleased to donate to
the auditorium seat fund, and
hope others will follow suit, so
that before long, there will be
enough money collected to
replace all the seats," com-
mented Powell.
SG President Tory Buckley
wants people to get off their
"appethetic ass" and get
something done at JC. He said
it's hard to sit on auditorium
seats for more than ten minutes.
Hash seat costs approximately
$40 each to cover.

Tight Money
Continued From Pg 1
According to Reynolds, the amount each player will receive is
stated in his contract, so he knows before he signs it what he is
getting. The money was not meant to cover all their meals, he
added.
JC's present "basketball house" has been used for three years.
The lease will soon be up and no definite plans for next year has
been made.
"With enrollment caps we will have more difficulty getting
out-of-state kids in school," Reynolds explained. "We're not sure
what will happen next year. It's a tough situation. ' '

this to the rising cost of
transportation, labor, energy,
and equipment. . .However ,
Albert Rees of the Stability'
Council says "everyone will
claim he's not responsible and
each will have a convincing
story to tell."
Instead of trying to pinpoint
the blame or complaining, why
not do something about it?
The first and most valuable
tip is "Comparative Shopping,"
Look for food sales in the
Thursday newspaper, decide
what you want to buy before you
go to the store, and look for
"specials" not in the food ads.
Compare prices for different
brands and grades of foods.
Remember, that many food
chain stores sell their own
brands of economy canned
foods, etc., at comparable
quality and a much lower cost
than nationally advertised
brands. Unfortunately, food
shopping in West Palm Beach is
slightly more expensive than in
most Florida cities, therefore,
only makes matters worse. Wise
shopping is a must.
You may have been wonder-
ing, though, which retail store
in this a'ea offers the best
values. iPublix, Winn-Dixie, or
Pantry Pride?
In aii effort to answer this
question, identical shopping
lists were taken containing the
most commonly-bought goods
were into these three major
supermarkets. The price check-
ing was all done on the same
day, April 2, and although most
of the brands were the same,
each store had their own
individual specials for that
particular day.
Pantry Pride fared the best,
although each store had their
share of values. As you can note
by the chart, no one store was
surprisingly cheaper or more
expensive than the other.
-Frankly Speaking
We Are Alike
It happened one day in an
instant, like the click of an inner
switch. One minute he was who
he was , then he changed.
It was like a flame that had
come to life, "They're all just
like me!" he declared to
himself.
He smiled at the passers-by,
who smiled back. It pleased him
to please: them with his smile.
"Happiness in others brings
happiness to me, and the
opposite is also true, maybe."
Satisfied with his analogue, he
said again, "They're just like
me."
It seems that people con-

stantly refer to the world from
their own perspective, not
realizing that others peer at the
world through different ones.
Continuing on, the young
man came to the shore. Down on
the beach was a stranger
standing alone, until, of course,
he was standing along side her.
"I have the desire to ... " he
began.
"I have the desire ..." she
began at the same time, and
then they both stopped.
Communication is strange in
that the more you know of the
person you're speaking to, the
less words you have to use.
An observer to their meeting
stepped towards them and
began to ask, "Are you two . .
"Married? , . . no." they
answered, "We're just ..."
"Qose?" he suggested.
' * Yes ' ' they answered.
All three of them smiled as if
to say that love is grand, and
that they understand.
But the girl understood that
their meeting meant there was
love in herself for the one she
met.
It seems that people con-
stantly refer to the world from
their own perspectives, not
realizing that others peer
through different ones. "They'-
re just like me." is the thought.
Concerning repricing, it is
Publix's policy to wait until the
item is sold out before
introducing it on the shelves at a
higher price, while Pantry Pride
declined comment. Each store
agreed that prices were set by
state controls and their main
offices, with their busiest
shopping days being Fridays
and Saturdays.
As noted by the chart, no one
store was drastically cheaper or
more expensive than the other.
Therefore, there's only one
thing you can do. Plan your
meals, prepare more of them at
home, economize and PRAY!
No, frustration will get you
nowhere!

In today's society people have
become weight conscious to an
extreme. People spend thou-
sands, perhaps millions, of
dollars each year to lose fat -'
often euphemistically labeled
"chubby" and "pleasingly
plump."
The most disturbing thing to
me is listening to anyone who is
a size 5-13 talk about how fat
they are. If a size 5-13 is fat,
where does that leave me?

Yet society does not help by
stereo-typing all fat people as
over-eaters with an ice cream
soda in one hand, cake in the
other and a bowl of candy in
front of them speedily disap-
pearing. There are many other
reasons people become fat.
Often times fat can restrict a
person's activity because of the
overwhelming feelings of self
consciousness. Fat people many
times choose not to get involved
for fear of embarrassment and
ridicule by other people who do
not understand their feelings of
anxiety. This can cause a fat
person to avoid all social
activities. Feelings of self-con-
sciousness need to be overcome.

founder, Robert DeCormier,
Under his direction the
Singers present a new concept
in concert entertainment. Their
aim is to recreate the cultures of
many lands through all artistic
means. Variety is the keynote of
programs with songs from
England, Scotland, Ireland,
Norway, Russia, Poland, French
Canada, Africa and the West

The concerts of the DeCorm-
ier Singers have been hailed as
a unique experience.
Although the show was billed
as The Guitar Ensemble's show,
it was Robin Plitt and Mrs. Pat
Johnson who entered the
spotlights eye and came out
with the ovations of the crowd.
Mrs. Pat Johnson, accom-
panied by lleana Lavastide
performed in the show held
April 2 in the J.C. auditorium.
She did a work by that brilliant
Brazilian composer Hector
Villa-Lobos. Mrs. Johnson's
voice carried the number into an
impressive vocal display.
Robin Plitt, composer/song
writer, stole the show from a
group of talented guitarists.
Performing as a duet with Shelly
Gladey. Plitt presented three
songs "Behind Your Eyes,"
"Back To You," and "Daffodil.
The "Daffodil" song has been

Pacers Finish Second
JC Girls Ace Field
By PHILIP NEUBAUER
Staff Writer
"I played steady," says
Marina Polman Tuin of her
recent first place finish in the
No. 3 Singles in the Woman's
State Junior College Tennis
Tournament held on the JC
courts, March 20-22.
Polman Tuin was one of three
JC girls to make it to the finals.
The other two were the No. 1
player, Robin Langridge, who
was unseeded and Hillary Cove,
who was seeded second in the
No. 6 singles.
Polman Tuin had little trouble
reaching the finals. After
drawing a bye in the first round
she beat Honie Shapiro of
Miami Dade-South 6-1, 6-1 in
the second round. In the
semi-finals Polman Tuin took
less than an hour to defeat
Broward Central's Debbie
Deluccia whom she regarded as
her toughest opponent, 6-1, 6-1.
In the finals Polman Tuin
disposed of Indian River's
Sharon Karst 6-1, 6-0.
Maria regards her service and
forehand to be the strong points
of her game.
Commenting on the question
of being nervious, Polman Tuin
says, "I wasn't. I expected to
lose, so I just stayed free."
Langridge also had little
trouble reaching the finals.
After drawing a bye in the first
round, she defeated Edison's
Karen Stratten, 7-6, 6-2 in the
second round. In the semi-finals
Hillary Cove (left) and Janet Fiabiani (right) help pace JC to
second place in the recent FJCC womens tennis championship.

Ideas Stimulated
At l&R Seminars
ByJANTUCKWOOD
Editorial Assistant
Ideas which may be imple-
mented in JC's intramural
program were introduced at the
National Intramural Associa-
tion's 26th Annual Convention.
The convention, held in New
Orleans . two weeks ago, was
attended by JC's Intramural
Director Roy Bell, Mr. Melvin
Edgerton, Assistant Intramural
Director Kathy Wilk, and 1 & S.
Board members Amy Strimbu
and Ed Richards.
All five thought the conven-
tion was beneficial. They
attended seminars and heard
about new programs initiated by
other schools.
"One of the schools did a
take-off on the Super Stars (an
event where individuals com-
pete in numerous sports) and
we're thinking about something
like that," Edgerton said.
Another program described
was a mock rodeo. "The only
animals used were a calf and a
goat, " Richards explained.
Also introduced were a
weight-lifting event and an arm
wrestling tournament.
"I think variations like these
in the program could help our
school," Richards added. "I
feel different programs from the
norm would create more student
interest and offer an opportunity
for students to participate in
things they otherwise might not
have a chance to."
Edgerton said a lot of schools
are using films to promote their
programs and mentioned the
possibility of an intramural
promoting commercial at JC.
The commercial could be shown
before SG movies, for example,
to advertise intramurals.
"We learned a lot about new
twists in intramurals," Strimbu
said. She added that she and
Wilk attended a seminar on the
role of women in intramurals
which was "very interestinE."
"We got the feel of what's
going on on other campuses,
what's working in other schools
and their problems , " he said.
Langridge defeated Debi Mortis
of Broward North 6-2, 6-3
and in the finals Langridge was
on the losing end of a 6-1, 6-3
decision to St. Petersburg's
JannieNillsen.
Throughout the match, the
referee called an abundant
amount of foot faults on both
players. In regard to the foot
faults, Langrdige said, "They
tore me up. My serve was
tentative and I double faulted."
Langridge continued, "My
strength is my backhand. I
prefer a backhand and also
enjoy playing the net. "
Cove, who drew a bye in the
first round and defeated Sharon
Lazzaro of Miami-Dade North
6-1, 6-2 in the second and in the
semi-finals, Cove defeated Pam
Cox 7-6, 6-4; in the finals Cove
lost to Broward Central's Ketty
Molina, the number one seed in
the No. 6 singles.
Cove fels her key to getting to
the finals was "being consistent
and keeping the ball in play. "
She had a season record of
14-2 plans to play for the team
next year if she gets into the
Dental Hygiene program.
The No. 2 doubles team of
Polman Tuin and Janet Fabiani
was the only team from a JC to
reach the finals. After a close
victory in the second round of
0-6, 6-2, 7-6 over Kathy Watkins
and Shapiro, they cruised into
the finals with a 6-0, 6-1 victory
over Kathy and Laurie Beem of
St. Petersburg. In the finals
Polman Tuin and Fabiani lost to
the No. 1 seeds Karen Sieferd
and Deluccia 6-2, 6-1 of Broward
Central.
In the overall team standings,
Broward Central placed first in
the tourney with 29 points,
followed by JC with 17V2 points
and Broward North in third.
Langridge comments,
"Second isn't bad."

Continued From Pg 3
"We have taken money from the existing programs to bring the
women's programs up to the level of the men's. We don't want to
do anything to the expenses of the mens program. We have
worked hard to bring them to where they are today," continued
Reynolds.
According to Reynolds' plan, the women are to be given one full
scholarship from each of the men's programs. The baseball team
now have 17; basketball, 11; and 5 each for golf and tennis.
JoAnn is joining a winning tradition at JC, despite the resources
for funds. Currently, the Pacers hold a 10-2 record with both losses
handed down from Miami Dade-South.
The most recent split with Dade-South was April 2, a 4-2 win in
the opener and a 6-5 loss in the night-cap. Dede Clayton lead the
girls with a double and 2 RBI's.
The girls played at the Dade-South Invitational over the
weekend, and were seeded third behind Flagler College and
Dade-South.
Coach Bobbie Knowles commented that Dade-South has had
consistent good defense. "This doubleheader shows me we got
it," continued Knowles, "it's just a matter of putting it all
together. "

Sports Life
By TIMOTHY L. BKAY
Sports Editor
"I'm pulling out all of the
stops, we've got to put on a
charge," said Pacer baseball
coach Dusty Rhodes as he paced
in front of his club at a recent
team meeting.
Palm Beach has the seventh
best record in the state, 24-8,
and are ranked No. 10 in the
weekly coaches poll. But, in the
conference, JC must continue to
win to have a mathematical
chance for the state tournament.
Quality NotQuantity Deemed Essential
Florida is heaven, or perhaps a haven, for northern colleges to
get in shape for their upcoming seasons during spring break. But,
being too much of a good sport is not going to produce quality
aihletes.
Recently, Palm Beach's baseball team played 15 games in 10
days, three in one day! Granted the exposure to different teams is
good for the ball club, but it is not necessary, nor is it right to be a
guinea pig for experimentation. Semi-miraculistically, Coach
Dusty Rhodes' diamond nine won 12 out of 15.
Athletic Director Dr. Howard Reynolds said, "I gave Dusty
permission to play three games in one day because he had crossed
his wires. Two teams were scheduled to play us at the same time.
"Physically they are capable of playing that many games,"
conlinued JC's athletic director, "But mentally they can't
perform. Remember, they are going to school, also."
Arguing that the experience is necessary, utility-infielder Jerry
Wallers commented, "I think it's everyone on this team's goal to
flay pro ball."
"Yeh, this is what we're down here for," added ace southpaw
Koss Baumgarten.
PacersOptimisticFor
Win In Golf Tourney
Timothy L. Bray
Even the major league clubs do not schedule more than nine
games per week during the peak of their season.
While speaking with Dr. Reynolds, he told me that a meeting
has been scheduled after the season with Rhodes. One of the top
priorities is better organization of the schedule; and one
recommendation will be not more than one doubleheader per
week.
A key example of allthe week's games catching up with the
Pacers, is the 6-3 loss to Broward Central, Saturday, March 29.
(Incidentally, BC went on to defeat the defending national
champs, Miami Dade-North, 11-7 Wednesday night.)
A couple of mental errors could have gotten JC out of an inning
before the damage was completed. Scott Harvey blasted a
three-run homer in the fourth off Pacer pitcher Eddie Fisher. BC
also got msurance in the sixth ftom Rod Spooner's two-run double.
"There is no excuse to not getting up for a converence game,"
said Walters. "All physical things should be wiped out."
An old cliche is the only appropriate phrase to explain these past
few weeks: "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him
drink."
Whh a 9-7 conference record,
JC is third behind front running
Miami Dade-North and Miami
Dade-South.
In the most recent action,
JC handed Indian River
Community College two defeats
Tuesday, 5-1 and 6-3. Lead by
the hitting- of Rich Sorise and
Bob Bends, the Pacers bats
racked IRCC for 22 hits.
Sorise, who recently has been
in a slight slump, finally showed
signs of last year's form. He had
five RBI's while Bob Benda
collected five hits.
"When one guy gets down
the others come around and
start hitting.
"Many times we've had the
door open, but we did a little
choke job on it," explained
Rhodes.
Basically, he summed up the
challenge in one sentence. "We
have to go out and win them
all."

The home course advantage
should play a big role with the
other teams having to adjust to

always hard to make adjust-

Registration Policy :
First Come-First Serve
By BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
"Courses could get in short
supply," commented JC Reg-
istrar Laurence Mayfield Thurs-
day, concerning Fall term
pre-scheduling, which began
April 7 and concludes at noon,
Friday, April 18.
As of noon, Thursday, April
10, Mayfield estimated that
1700 students had pre-reg-
Biered, with only 18 sections
being closed to that point.
Mayfield predicts, however,
that close to 4000 students will
pre-register by the end of this
seek. In contra«it to recent
spring term pre-registrations,
no long lines have appeared and
students thus far have been able
to register without unnecessary
delays.
The computer has broken
down once during the current
registration, though it was out
of service only 30 minutes.
Generally, however, the regis-
trar is pleased with the work of
the often maligned device, and
compliments the very capable
work of Jeff Hunter and Paul
Bunnell, students in JC's
Computer Science Department.
Registration next fall for new
students should be open to all
Florida residents, according to
Mayfield. A recently passed JC
Board of Trustee policy requires
new out-of-state students to be
in the top half of thejr
graduating class.
Incoming foreign students
must have at least a 400 score on
the Test of English Language
Efficiency.
Chh-chating students in line to register.
Recently completed Spring 1
pre-registration results indicate
that 1,668, or close to 90 per
cent of the students who
registered paid fees, while 192
schedules were cancelled for
students* failure to register.
Regular Spring 1 registration
is scheduled May 6 and is to be
held on a first-come, first-serve
basis. Approximately 80
reactivated students have been
accepted and are to register at
that time. Regular studentS'are
eligible, but no longer have
priority.
Students registering May 6
may be able to latch on to some
General Education courses
because of the 192 cancelled
schedules. An average of three
positions . are open in "most
General Education Sections.

Staff Writer
The Arch Ball, Phi Lo's
traditional formal dance, will be
held Saturday April 19.
The dance is free for JC
students and open to the
faculty.
This year, SG is funding $600
for the dance. The money will
go toward renting the American
Legion Hall for the dance,
decorations, food and the rock
band, Triad.
Refreshments will include
sandwiches, hor d'oeuvres, and
punch.
Students should wear formal
attire - a coat and tie for the
guys and long dresses for the
girls.
They call this dance the Arch
Ball because of a tradition in
which Phi Lo members and their
escorts walked through a
decorated arch as the president
announced their names.
This year's Arch Ball will be
held at the American Legion
Hall on J Street in Lake Worth,
from 9:00 to 1:00.
"This dance is for the
students, since they pay for it
through the activity fee," said

Technocrats Future Bright
is
By ROBIN PETERSEN
Staff Writer
The engineering department
one for which no general
education courses are required.
Mr. Jennings Rader, depart-
tnent chairman, recognizes this
and therefore is able to gear the
courses to the student who
wants to be there.
The options for the engineer-
ing technology major are many.
There is the AA college parallel
program, the 2 year AS degree,
or one of the certificate
programs.
The AA program for general
engineering is heavy in science,
math, and drawing with the
general education require
ments. The building construct-
ion major is parallel to the
University of Florida's building
construction program. There is
also an A. A. degree for
industrial arts teachers.
According to Mr. Rader,
"The A.S. program is becoming
more popular, because it is
highly specialized. The student
can go out and get a good
paying job without a 4 year
education. However, the A.S.
degree is not a closed door. You
can go on to get a 4 year
education with the last 2 years
stressing the match, science,
and managerial studies,"
The A. A. program trains one
to be a technician and is
designed to be completed here
at JC. There are many A.S.
degrees, including aerospace
technology, building construct-
ion management, fire science,
air conditioning and refrigerat-
ion, and land surveying.
Building construction manage-
ment is a new program that is in ,
its first year at JC, It's aimed at
the small subcontractor who
wants to improve in his trade
and who can come to the classes
that are all held at night. The
program covers taxes, small
business management, and
construction law,
A new program not even in
the catalog is that of bldg.
inspection. The professional
building inspectors asked for
this program to help upgrade
their personel and keep them
abreast of the new laws and
regulations that are coming out,
due to the bldg. boom.
There are also certificate
programs in air conditioning
and refrigeration, drafting, and
surveying aids. In addition, the
engineering technology depart-
ment runs numerous non-credit
workshops that are done on
request.
Speaking of the future of
engineering and the engineer-
ing technologies, Mr. Rader

The reason for selecting
Philadelphia as the city for the
Bieentennial Convention was
desig;ned to allow delegates who

campaign offices ample time to
make individual and group visits
lo the many historical shrines
such as Philadelphia Museum of

Independence Hall, and others.
The convention started off
^pril 3rd with an innvocation of
fjation^il Representatives and a
guest appearance of Benjamin

group listened to many thought
provoking speeches from the
delegates ninning for 75-765

DUTY TO
Migrant Farmers AtJ.C.
By JOHN AUCHTERLONIE
News Editor
Diana Lyons, Florida Boycott
Director for Cesar Chavez'
United F-arm Workers of
America, was on campus today
trying to interest PBJC student
in working full time with the
Farm Workers Union this
summer.
Ms. Lyons, a migrant farm
worker from California, has
been in Florida since early 1972,
organizing farm workers in the
state and consumer support for
the UFW's boycotts of grapes,
lettuce and Gallo wines.
She and her husband, also a
former migrant worker, and the
Union's State Director, are
trying to recruit a full time staff
of 50 to 100 people from the
colleges and universities in
Florida, and offer the students
the same "strikers wages" as
Cesar Chavez and all of the
UFW organizers are paid - S5.00
a week spending money, room
and board, plus the satisfaction
of organizing solutions to the
myriad of problems faced by the
farm workers who feed us all,
Fred Ross, a former associate
of Saul Alibsky, and the man
who taught Cesar Chavez to
organize, will be in Florida in
late May and early June to train
the summer volunteers, accord-
ing to Ms. Lyons. She hopes to
interview and meet with all
interested students on campus
on Wednesday, April 16,
between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. in
Conference Room 4 of the
Criminal Justice Building, and
have the training sessions
planned by then.
The student staff would be
working in field offices among
farm workers, and in the cities
organizing consumers to sup-
port the farm workers efforts to
better their own lot by giving up
non VFW grape, lettuce and
Gallo wines (including Boones
Farm, Spanada, Madria Madria
Sangria, and all wines bottled in
Modesto, California). All
interested persons are asked to
see Ms. Lyons on April 16, '
between 9 and 2,. in CJ4.
Diana Lyons encourages farm workers.
Engineering Dept. Chairman Jennings Rader
commented, "The future in the
field is one of enormous
opportunity for 'technocrats'.
Somebody has to keep society
progressing. There are periodic
slumps but job opportunities in
these areas are the best avilable
anywhere. ' '
Mr. Rader pointed out a
problem that engineers have.
"Engineers divorce themselves
from politics. Technology got us
into the environmental mess
we're into today and is the only
thing that can get us out.
Engineers should take a more
realistic view of society and its
people."
The equipment in^ JC's
engineering technology depart-
ment is top-notch. There is
$250,000 worth of equipment
with "there is not much more
we could ask for in our
programs."
Mr. Rader stressed that "our
doors are wide open to female
students because there is a
large demand for women in
engineering and engineering
related fields. If anyone wants
information ■, please come over
and ask about our programs or
call ext. 225, There are many
good paying jobs in this
occupational area."

Askew Threatens
Open-Door Education
Governor Askew has endangered the survival of the "open-
door" policy of Palm Beach Junior College. Next year you or
someone you know may be denied admission to JC or any other
community college in this state.
In 1970-71 the amount appropriated by the legislature to cover the
cost of educating one full-time equivalent (FTE) student was $904.
In 1974-75 the figure was raised to $1,050 per student.
This year, in order to help the colleges fight inflation. Askew has
recommended a budget cutback reducing the figure to $955 per
student.
It would seem obvious to the most casual observer that with
inflation averaging 8% per year and enrollments skyrocketing
cutbacks in funding are not needed. You don't fix a broken leg by
amputation.
Apparently education is not very high on the priority list of the
governor. It should be. Education is the backbone of an
enlightened electorate, as such it must be protected.
Every student, teacher, administrator and concerned citizen
should immediately write the legislators and remind them that
education must be at the top of the list of priorities.
In addition, faculty and student senates should take all possible
actions to protect the community college system.
Strong and immediate response is imperative to the survival of
the "open door" policy so that you, or your children will be able to
enjoy the benefits of education in the future.
ERA Support
Long Overdue
We've said it before and now, as the Equal Rights Amendment
faces the Florida Legislature, it's time to say it again. The ERA is
long overdue and should be passed in this state.
By the time this editorial is read, the House will have voted on the
ERA. If passed, Florida may be added to the list of states (34) which
support the ERA. If passed, only three more states need to ratify
the ERA to make it part of the U.S. Constitution.
The House vote is the culmination of years of lobbying for and
against the ERA. Endless debate, even a threatened citrus strike if
Florida fails to pass ERA have proceeded it.
How the vote went was not known at press time. Hopefully,
Florida has joined the states supporting ERA. If not, perhaps the
vote on it will go to the public, as has been proposed.
At any rate, as we've said before, the ERA is long overdue.

Honest Student
Is Mystery
Editor;
On Wednesday, April 2nd an honest male student turned in to the
registrar's office a red and white billfold he had found on the
parking lot near the library. A young lady in the registrar's office
called me, verified identification and returned my billfold.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to this student who
did not wait to identify himself. I would also like to meet and speak
with him personally.

Philo Claims 'Comber Biased
Editor;
It has come to my attention
ihai ill the past two years 1 have
auended PBJC that the
Beachcomber is very biased on
its opinions of fraternities and
sororities and also does not even
aiienipi to publish articles
concerning ilieiii. Even when
they themselves asked to have
tlicni pui ill.
Just recently, Chi Sig has
been mentioned . but only
This Years 'Comber
Among The Best
Editor:
I would like to convey my
appreciation to two of your
Beachcomber staff writers;
namely Jim Ash and Muffy
McClung, both of whom did an
outstanding job on articles
written concerning our depart-
ment-
1 found both articles to be
especially well-written accurate
and newsworthy. They are to be
complimented on their skill in
writing.
During their interviews, I was
very impressed with their
mannerisms and the way they
conducted themselves in gat-
hering the information.
I consider this year's
Beachcomber among the finest
ever produced at this college.
Dale W. Washburn
Director of Data Processing
Registration Lost
Equal Rights
Editor;
We would like to take this opportunity to respond to the article of
March 24.
By unanimous decision, we, the new foreign students, seem to
have the best solutions. There are even more reasons to be judging
your statements.
The first thing 1 do when 1 got a book on the Constitution of the
United States is go to the index to see whether it has the work
"equal". But it is not there.
It is evident that equal rights have not yet been applied to this
campus on the day of registration.
Paul Watts
because it sent a letter to the
editor replying to the article on
the decreasing membership in
social clubs.
1 have refrained from
expressing my opinion until now
but 1 can no longer leave this
school without expressing the
"other" side.
Not once has the sorority been
asked its opinion on the
decreasing membership or lack
of interest. Not once has the
sorority been asked if it's
sponsoring anything or asked
about its pledging.
To me, you have been giving
a very one-sided view which is
not fair, but the Beachcomber
appears one-sided on a lot of its
views.
To give a few examples:
About rush - both years we
were talked to and had pictures
laken but to my knowledge no
articles were written.-
Philo sponsored Arch Ball last
year as it does most every year.
About four or ' five lines were
written, but nothing we asked
for.
The article written this term
on decreasing membership of
social clubs - only Chi Sig's
opinion was asked
1 gave an article on Arch Ball
fur this year to be printed, h
was not . Did it ever occur to you
that lack of publicity may be one .
of our problems? If people knew
what we were doing, maybe
they would become interested.
1 would appreciate it if the
Beachcomber would look into
both sides of the situation
before expressing its views.

-No Secretary-
Unfortunately only one per
son is running for the office of
Secretary. Even more unfor-
tunate is the fact that the only
person who filed, Lynn Kalber,
is unqualified.
A former Beachcomber "fea-
ture" editor, and later member
of the business section, she
proved incapable of leadership
and unable to make firm
decisions. Her performance
record demonstrated an inabil-
ity to start a project and see it
through to the end.
For these reasons, students
gre urged NOT to vote for a
secretary candidate. This would
force a new election in the fall,
vvhen people more qualified to
do the job, could compete for
(jie office. No vote is the best
v'Ote for secretary.

President: Gox Is Experienced
Endorsements are never easy, particularly when more than one h
candidate is qualified. SG president endorsements a're no ||
exception. The Editorial Board of the Beachcomber believes that ^
both James Cox and Kimberly Jones would malce good SG ^
presidents. However by one vote ofthe board the Beachcomber has ^
decided to endorse James Cox. S
The most impressive item of Cox's platform is his desire to give |j
the SG senate power to allocate student monies. Throughout the |^
year, the Beachcomber has vigorously opposed the' present financial '^,
system of SGA. Jones also indicated a desire to increase senate '^
participation but only by allowing them to approve expenditure of K
over SI ,000. ^
Jones* proposal would not effectively remove the present financial
problems of SGA, Most expenditures would be in amounts of less ^
than $1,000 and the senate must have the right to enforce student fe
opinion on these smaller allocations. After all this has been the root »
of most of SGA's governmental problems. S
Cox favors a combined student-faculty senate which would be a "^^
tremendous step in the duection of more competent student
government. It would improve iramensly the working relationships
of students and faculty.
It is a tough choice but the Beachcomber encourages students to §
exercise their rights and vote for James Cox for president. ^
Veep: Bukley Listens
'^ "SGA should represent the student body more closely," Ron
:l Bukley says. This conviction, coupled with many recommendations
S^to improve SG, makes Bukley the Beachcomber choice for SG
1^ vice-president.
fi, Bukley is presently serving as an SG senator. He intends to make
?|the Senate a more viable body and encourage student participation
:^ in SG and other activities if he should become a member of the
5| Executive Board.
'^ He also believes there "should be a better means of hearing and
^1 responding to the needs of the students" and intends to work on
gjthis problem.
'^i After discussions with Bukley, we have found him to have firm
i ideas, views we feel are beneficial to the students and leadership
i qualities. His opponent Sue Keen, an SG senator, also'has many
I qualifications but we feel Bukley will be a stronger vice-president.
■fHe has ideas and the determination to implement them.
I As an SG senator, Ron Bukley has worked for the student. As SG
;^ vice-president, he will have a better chance to do that job.
SG Candidate Survey
PRESIDENT
Jim Kimberly
Cox Jones
1. Should the SG president be an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees?
2. Has the Administration adequately responded to the needs of the students?
3. Would you favor a combined student-faculty senate?
4. Do you favor giving the power to aUocate monies to the Senate, with the Exc- ^^^
cutive Board having veto power?
5 Would you favor reinstatement of the noon activity hour?
6. Should reporters be allowed to witness election result tabulations?
7. Are you in favor of the present Executive Board policy of the press submiting
questions in advance?
Treasurer: Sopp Worthy^
%
The Beachcomber endorses Paul Sapp for the position of SG'
; treasurer.
Though there is no meaningful choice in this election, since Sapp
.tj'' is running unopposed, he seems to have the interest needed in this
key position.
Sapp indicates that he will make official reports whenever
necessary and will spend as many hours as are needed at his job.
He cites problems in communication between SG arid the student
and also feels there is a conflict between the school newspaper and
SG. These are two things he intends to work on when he becomes
an Executive Board member.
Money is something especially endeared in this time of cutbacks.
Needless to say, the office of treasurer is a very importapt one. It
requires a dedicated person.
Sapp faces no competition in this race but he will have his work
cut out for him if elected treasurer. We think he can handle it.

AAusical Puppets Perform
If you can carry a tune and
'/lay a middling game of
ririg-around-the-rosy, you be-
long with the DeCormier
Singers.
They blasted into the PBJC
auditorium on April 8th with all
the vitality and laughter of a
wake. The Singer, six men and
seven women, have strong,
musical voices but their
performance lacks style and
interest.
Their program of varied
international and American folk
songs could have created
ever-changing moods in the
audience. Instead, every song
sounded like the last, in
monotonous Muzak-like succ-
ession. Even the Negro
spirituals were without depth
^ and flavor. "Sixteen Tons" and
"Camptown Races" delivered
th a blend of sweet, ladylike
)ranos and deliberate, unen-
isiastic tenor and bass were
II. silly.
The Singers are not dancers.
i besi that can be said is that
y kept moving, but then so
ues the checkout line at
^'inn-Dixie. Sometimes they
luffled back and forth, in and
it: usually they simply joined
|..ands and skipped in a circle,
occasionally bumping into each
other.
Their expressions alternated
between grim determination
and forced gaiety, as though
someone had ordered them to
get out there and enjoy
themselves or die. Once in a
while they'd forget themselves
and crack a smile. "We really
feel silly up here," they seemed
to be saying. Usually they
looked pained, and worried.
Maybe they were being shipped
back to Russia the next
morning.
Flick Mager'
Kagtime is cheerful, lovely
old-time music. Not to the
Decormier Singers. Their reser-
ved, dispirited, absent-pminded
rendition of Scott Joplin's
"Goin' Around" (ring-around
the-rosey again; slowed down
the time and left only the rags.
"Pineapple Rag" was a
pineapple drag.
The solos were better. Each
Singer by himself or herself has
a fine voice. On Singer was a
touching Unrequited Lover as
she sang "Go Way from My
Window."
It's a shame that the Singers,
who can create considerable
volume and pleasing harmony
with their voices, should have
trapped themsleves in a stage
performance as self-conscious
and uninspired as a junior high
school concert.
The Decormier Singers have
produced several albums.
Perhaps "they should stick with
recording and leave the stage
severely alone.

Music Fvival Planned
Phoenix strums up thousands of

listeners a tnie Blue Grass
sound. Full of imagination,
Phoenix always attracts a

By FRANK SMITH
Venture Editor
Bring a blanket to spread on the ground. Bring a smile to spread
around, The Bluegrass, Fender Grass Festival is coming.
Phoenix, the popular three man band will be appearing, along
with "Swamp Fox" plus John Westbrook and Dan Piller, Don
Dunaway, Charlie Robertson, Nathan Boldgett, the Casey Jones
Band and Harmony Grits.
There will be a lot of beer, (48 kegs).
There will also be a lot of food, with a barbecue extending from 2
p.m. to 5 p.m. The musical festivities however, will extend from 1
p.m. to 11 p,m.
A coffeehouse is to be held in the cafeteria April 18th to provide
students with a glimpse of talent slated for the April 20th Festival.
Everybody knows Phoenix is good, and that they should be the
highlight of the evening for most.
I, however, plan to be listening intently to John Westbook.
Westbrook is a song writer/performer of great promise whose lyrics
have pleased the many crowds to which he played. The former
poet-laureatte of Florida Atlantic University performs with Dan
Piller.
Performers are coming from all over to play at the Festival. Don
Dunaway, from Atlanta, is another singer/song-writer who is on the
agenda. Having written songs of the Civil War with touching
accuracy, Dunaway is a performer to look for.
When you go to the festival, hsten for "The Buzzard". You'll
hear that song come from Charlie Robertson. An honest to goodness
real person who just happens to play guitar and sing excpetionally
well. ,,
Robertson, lam gold, "is a legend in mars." With "Swamp Fox
and "Harmony Grits" providing some witty bluegrass, foot
stompin' music, the festival should be lively with a lot of hand
clapping, eating, drinking and crowd milling.
Student Government is underwriting 400 tickets to this concert.
Tickets can be purchased for 2 dollars at the bookstore.
Tickets will cost $5 at the gate. For food, beer, and all these
performers, it could very well be a bargain.
People Exceptlona
On Being Tall
sPREItfER-

In a rare expressive moment, a caJypse number is led by
a DeCk>nniei- Singer.
Tall people have more problems than most of us can
imagine. Do you realize that if a tall person wants to buy a
jump rope, he has to buy two so he can tie them together?
A tall prson has to pratically be a contortionist in order to
get a drink from a water fountain. If you're tall, and
accustomed to getting drunk, you'd better make sure you
don't forget low doorways.
Short people can't always relate to the tall person. I
once fell in love with a boy who was 6'6". Unknown to
him, 1 cound out everything I could about him. The fact
that I was 14 inches shorter than him didn't deter me.
With my courage up, and my heart on my sleeve, I went to
introduce myself.
Longingly, my eyes looked up to see the face of his
majestic person. His eyes met mine and our gaze locked. I
trembled as he smiled, and then his lips parted and he said
" Hi. " Nearly put me thru the floor, his breath was so bad .
To make matters worse, I had a kink in my neck for a
whole week. |.
In elementary school tall kids were treated unfairly
Whenever the class went anywhere, all the kids had to line
up in size order. The short kids always got to everything
before their taller classmates. Remeber the cliche, "Pick
on someone your own size!" Well the tall kid never had a
chance. The shorter kid could incite and antagonize the
taller kid, but if the tall student retaliated, he was called a
bully.
Bicycles are not made large enough for tall people,
They get hunched over reaching the handlebars and suffer
bruised knees.
Compact cars are quite uncomfortable for tall people.
Curvature of the spine is a prerequisite. Leg cramps and
neck cramps are common casualities.
Because many clothing manufacturers design clothing
with the average person in mind, some tall people have to
spend a large amount of money to have their clothing
custom made.
Tall people should not feel inferior just because they
have a few more inches than most people. After all, tall
people are very important. If it weren't for them this
article would never have been written. By the way, how's
the weather up there?

Have you ever walked into a clothing store and tried on a
pair of jeans only to discover that if you had a 10 inch
platform on they'd look just right? If this has happened to
you, you're not alone. Not only are you not alone, you're
also not very tall.
Grocery stores discriminate against the short person.
They always put your favorite munchy on the top shelf,
and no matter how much you stretch, you just can't reach
it. With much embarrasment, you ask the stockboy to get
it down for you. He snickers and asks you if you forgot
your box.
Short people are restricted in certain employment areas.
An aspiring model may be beautiful, voloptuous, and
sexy, yet still be told to hang it up. When was the last time
you saw a 4'10" model.
Dating can be a hassle for the short guy. He finally gets
up the courage to call that girl he has a crush on. Romance
begins to bloom. She's speechless as he tells her that he's
a Pre-Med major, Phi Theta Cappa, super athlete who's on
the Tennis, Wrestling, and Baseball teams. She's
impressed when she learns he drives a 1975 Porsche. And
then she asks the million dollar question, "How tall are
you?" The climax quickly drops as he mumbles, "Five
feet." Thinking she didn't hear right she asks, "Five foot
what?" No response.
Cars are fashioned for the normal person. 1 have a friend
who has to sit on three cushions just to see out the window,
and that's not to mention the problem she has reaching the
gas pedal.
Restaurants can be a source of embarrassment for short
people. Consider a nice quiet booth for two, with
comfortable cushioned seats. Great for the normal person,
but once the short person sits down he finds his chin
resting on the table, and sadly discovers that he is looking
at his date through his water glass.
Short people should take notice of a very old
complimentary saying* "It is better to be sweet small and
than tall and cast a shadow.

Summer Job Market Weakening
Employment Prospective Pessimistic
By DEBBIE THOMPSON
Staff Writer
As the end of the term nears,
many students are making plans
as to how they will spend then-
summer months. A few will
attend the Spring sessions,
some will vacation, and still
others will see how long they
can get away with doing
nothing. The vast majority,
however, will look upon this
time with frustration and defeat
as they unsuccessfully pursue
some form of summer employ-
ment.
Almost 40,000 students bet-
ween the ages of 14 and 21 will
be available for work in Palm
Beach County in June.
Although not all of them will be
looking for work, the ones who
are will have to compete with
recession, cut budgets, and
unemployed adults.
Last month, President Ford
asked Congress for $412 to fund
a youth employment program
this summer. The special
appropriation would be used to
finance 760,000 nine-week
summer jobs for "economically
disadvantaged persons" bet-
ween the ages of 14 and 21.
Those lucky enough to be hired
by one of the 403 "prime
sponsors" mainly city, county
and state agencies - will work up
to 26 hours a week at the new
minimum wage of "$2.10 an
hour."
r Featured Futures
In Palm Beach County, the
Community Action Council will
have almost $600,000 in federal
funds to hire 750 youths with a
great economic need if the
County Commission approves a
proposal from the Manpower
Advisory Council. Even then,
jobs will have to be created
within the municipalities since
this and other plans are still
pending.
According to Robert M.
Douglas, manager of the West
Palm Beach branch office of the
Florida State Employment
Service, "The summer outlook
will not be as good a^ it has in
the past, but then, the entire
labor market picture is not as
good as before."
"There seems to be some
improvement in the situation,
however. The number of job
openings we've had since last
winter seems to be increasing,
•but who knows how long this
will last?"
Douglas noted that after
Easter when the tourists go
home, there are never enough
jobs to go around, "even in the
best of economic conditions."
He also pointed out that the
major job source this summer
will probably be fill-in positions
for vacationing secretaries,
Libra In Tune
•Flick Mager-
PISCES: Someone is likely to be unexpectedly candid. Control your
impulse to kick him in the teeth. What he's saying could be
valuable feedback.
ASIES: Expect some disillusionment in the personal department.
All it means is that you're seeing things more clearly. Maturity will
help you deal with the disappointment without hurting anyone.'
TAURUS: Attempts will be made to change your mind for you.
Resist them. Be .yourself. If someone doesn't like it, spit in his eye.
GEMINI: You insight is sharper than usual. It's a good time to
check over your own accumulating problems, and perhaps consider
another person. Pressure lessens this week, but wUl rebuild later
this month.
CANCER: You can talk your way out of anythmg. Don't be afraid ot
commit yourself. Take a step you've been thinking of, but haven't
had the courage to carry thgouh.
LEO: Leos are honorable people - you'll be an ideal person to
confide m. Other may sense this. You have numerous offers of
good will.
VIRGO: You discover why some things haven't been going well,
and what to do about them. You should become more confident
a^uf the direction your life is taking you.
LIBRA: Stay m tune with your body. It has a tendency to resent

reception i.sts and typists. But
these too, require a skill.
Employers, likewise, are not
very encouraging. Once a prime
source for summertime, full-
time or part-time work, the
larger retail department stores
around town all seem to be
adhereing to the same policy.
"Although we usually expect
business to increase around
Mother's Day and the beginning
of May, we'll only be hiring a
limited amount of additional
help," reports William Thomas,
personnel manager for Penny's
in the Palm Beach Mall.
"This area is very low in its
turnover rate. After tourist
season is over and the need for
additional help is reduced, most
retail stores just give their
present help addition hours.
New people need to be
trained and orientated before
they begin work; whereas
present employees are already
familiar with their jobs and
usually welcome the extra
hours."
One alternative to unemploy-
ment is JC's Job Bank, an
up-to-the minute job placement
service located on the first floor
of the library in the Career
Information and Study Center.
This new electronic equip-
ment available to present and
former JC students, includes a
list of available jobs in Broward,
St. Lucie and Palm Beach
County.
According to Miss Gwendolyn
Ferguson, Firector of Place-
ment, the Florida State
Employment Service (FSES)
sends her updated list of
available jobs on a plastic micro
fiche card every day. The card
is inserted in the Micro-Fiche
Readers, whereby students can
scan the list of job openings.
"Most of the FSES jobs
offered are for full-time
positions, however, and most
students are seeking part-time
employment," Miss Ferguson
noted.
After conducting interviews
with interested job seekers to
determine what wort of position
he wants. Miss Ferguson makes
sure he is qualified and also
asks for a preference in case his
first choice has already been
filled.
"The available positions are
grouped into four occupational
titles," she explained. "The
iirst is professional, technical
and managerial. The second, or
clerical and sales group includes
typists, secretaries, stock clerks
and cashiers."
"The next division is service
occupations such as maids,
waitresses, lifeguards, hair-
dressers, aids and other service
orientated jobs; and the last
group includes skills and
manual occupations. Jobs
under this category includes
farm workers, laborers and
mechanics."
The micro fiche also lists job
descriptions, hours, qualifica-
tions, pay, and fringe benefits.
"Because the new equipment
has been at JC for a relatively
short time, not too many
students have heard about this
service and consequently, few
ha:ve taken advantage of it,"
Miss Ferguson said.
Besides positions offered
through FSES, the office also
receives job offers directly fi'om
employers.
"Not as many local employers
call the JC Placement Office
since the economic situation has
tightened," Miss Ferguson
said, "but we do get several
calls each week, mostly offering
part-time employment.
"We're hopeful that more
people will make use of our Job
Placement service when they
discover what we have to offer, ' '
she concluded.
Whatever alternative you
decide to choose, early planning
is a must, unless you plan to be
one of the thousands of jobless
youths contributing to the
crowds atbeachesand parks this
summer. But then, what's so
bad about that?

Pitchers Find Control
Ross Baunigarten looks puzzled after throwing a pitch against
Dade-South. Photo by Putt.
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
"Our defense has moved
from 19 to 4 in the state stats' '
explained JC Head Baseball
coach Dusty Rhodes, "and in
turn the pitchers have a lot more
confidence."
That confidence, Rhodes
explained, has boosted the
Pacers to a 26-8 record, second
best in the State of Florida.
Ironically, the club is not ranked
among the top 10, which is
headed by Tuesday night's
opponent Miami-Dade-North.
Headlining the pitching
department is the 0.92 ERA of
freshman Julian Rodriguez and
the 1.20 ERA of Illinois native
Ross Baunigarten,
Rodriguez summerizes the
difference between fall and
winter in one word, control. "I
threw a lot of batting practice in
January, and now my curve is
breaking and the fastball is
humming," said the lanky
right-hander.
Baunigarten commented,
"I'm throwing more curves. In
the fall, I got in the havit of
throwing fastballs and that's
when I get hit. I've got better
confidence in my curve in key
situation.
"The trick against a good
team, like Dade-North, is keep
mixing up the pitches,"
continued Baumgarten.
Catcher Danny DeStout says,
"Julian is using his head. He's
come around with his control
and curve ball. Sometimes he
relies on his fastball to
overpower people, so that's
when I start flashing the
curve."
Baumgarten feels DeStout is
on the same wave length with
him on which pitch to throw. "I
don't shake his signs off more
than five times per game, ' ' says
the southpaw.
JC travels to Miami Dade-
North tomorrow night for a 7:30
p.m. contest. Baumgarten and
Rodiiguez are scheduled to
pitch the key two game series.
The Pacers can finish no less
than gourth in Division IV. But,
as Coach Rhodes re-iterates
frequently, "we just have to go
out and win them all."
All of the players feel they
have more confidence now than
back in January and Rodriguez
summerized, "If you say you're
going to win, you'd be surprised
how many times you're going to
win."
JC Signs Lake Worth Star
By TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
Thomas Taylor, the Palm
Beach Post's All- Area Player of
the Year, has signed a
scholarship to play basketball
lor JC.
Also signing Wednesday was
Jerry McAdoo, a 6' guard who
played for Lake Worth High
School in the 1973-74 school
year.
"Taylor is my idea of the type
of player I'd like to have on my
ball club," explained Forest Hill
coach Warcecer Jakes recently
to the Post's Chuck Otterson.
' ■ He looked like a man
playing a boy's game,"
commented Boca Raton coach
Doug Reid.
Taylor averaged 207 points
per game and 15.0 rebounds.
and led Lake Worth to a 20-8
record this season.
These are the first Lake
Worth players to be given
scholarships in many years, and
will set the trend for the JC
athletic department. That trend
is to go after the local players
first.
Taylor chose JC because the
quality of education and
basketball. One of his assets is
determination on and off the
court, emphasized Pacer coach
Bob Wright.
The "distant cousin" of Bob
McAdoo, who plays - for the
NBA's Buffalo Braves, is "Little
Mac." Wright describes
"Mac", as a "take charge
guy-"
Wright continued, "Don't
underestimate him, because he
can leap."
McAdoo, added, "Yeh, I'm 6'
and can dunk the basketball."
Of both players Wright feels.
"They know what basketball is
all about. They have come up
through a good system, and this
is what we are looking for.
Thomas can do the job with his
jumping ability and his speed.
Both are good students. With
the guys we got back, they'll fit
right in the program."
The athletic department has a
lotted six more scholarships to
the basketball program. Wright
is recruiting in the area as well
as in Kentucky, Michigan,
Virginia and South Carolina.

"I played my best ever," said
Pat Kelly after his recent victory
in the championship flight of the
Vic Bass Memorial Golf
Tournament, Sunday, April 6.
Kelly, a freshman on the JC
golf team shot a sizzling 3 under
par total of 69 on the par 782
West Palm Beach County Qub

nearest competitor by three
strokes. Kelly commented, "I
wanted to do my best, and
whatever happened, happen-

The proceeds from the
tournament are to benefit JC
and Florida Atlantic University.
Bass was a golf pro at Lake
Worth Country Club and a golf
equipment representative until
his death m 1972.
It was estimated that over
$3,000 was collected for the

Letter To The Editor
Continued From Pg 4
Phllo does exist and has done
more than people know. I would
hope to see, before I graduate
this term, more acknowlege-
inent of Philo and its activities.
That's the least that could be
done after almost two years of
apparent non-existence.
Also, instead of constantly
seeking attacks on clubs,
Student Government, athletics,
etc.. why not write articles on
what they are trying to do to
help the student body and its
be
social life. This would
something worth reading.
Jeanne FIe«nor
EDITOR'S NOTE: Currently,
according to Philo president
Jeanne Fleenor, there are only
10 active members in the club.
This obviously demonstrates a
lack of student interest in Philo.
However, we did do a story
about them for the last issue,
but because of a lack of space
we were unable to use it until
this week.

ram Celebration
by JAN TUCKWOOD
Editorial Assistant
Two JC students were married in the SAC Lounge April 14. They
spoke no vows, instead they kneh before their guests who blessed
them by sprinkling water on their hands.
This traditional Thai ceremony united Paul Ratanaprasith and
Judy Newton in marriage. It was part of a New Year celebration
program presented by Thai students at JC. They are celebrating
Thailand's water festival year, Songkran.
Before the ceremony, Jesada Tankigthanongsuk described the
Thai wedding. The bride and groom kneel, he said, as each of their
honorable guests drips water from a shell over the couple's hands to
give a blessing. The water from their hands flows into baskets of
flowers. ■
JC President Dr. Harold Manor led the line of faculty members,
students and finally the bride's family. The couple were married
when the line passed; in Thailand they would also go to a Budhist
temple the next day to be blessed by the monks.
"The wedding was held to show Thai culture because the Thai
wedding is very different from the American," Marianne Budi, a
program coordinator said.
Paul, a pre-med major and three-time karate champion in his
native Thailand, and law enforcement student Judy, were alsp
married in an American ceremony.
"We're very happy^ we think it (the Thai ceremony) was
beautiful," the bride's mother, Mrs. Charles Newton, said;
Afterwards, guests were invited to sample Thai food. The lunch
included papaya salad, curry, larp (a ground beef dish served with
rice), boiled eggs and coconut cake and candy.
Thai songs, Thai dancing and Thai boxing were also part of the
Songkran program, intended to acquaint JC students with the Thai
culture.
The procession, lead by Dr. Manor, poured water over the hands of the newlyweds who knelt before
baskelsof flowers. PhotobyPutt

Mayfield Retires
by BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
Commencement for graduat-
ing students is one of Registrar
Laurence Mayfield's favorite
days. "It always means success
for a lot of students," says
Mayfield.
Laughing, he adds, "Also, it
means we're near the end of the
year for this office."
When the registrar's office
closes this year, Mayfield's
career, which includes 17 years
of service to JC, also closes.
Retiring June 30, Mayfield
has served JC since 1958 as a
guidance counselor, psychology
instructor, evening registrar
and since 1968 as registrar.
Under Mayfield's direction
the registrar's office has grown
as the school has grown. Calling
it a "team effort all the way,"
Mayfield recalls that while it
once took a student two weeks to
register, "now they do it
between classes."
The 62-year-old Kansas State
University graduate credits .the
"on-line system" for the
improved registration, but
admits that his job has meant
much more.
"My most difficult task is to
call students and tell them they
can't graduate," comments
Mayfield.
Most of the registrar's
memories, however, are pleas-
and ones. "Over the years I've
tried to help students in any way
1 can. I've bought them shoes
and clothes, found them friends
and helped them get loans,"
says Mayfield.
In turn, the students have
given something back - which to
Mayfield means they've im-
proved themselves. "Under the
current law most are adults,
meaning they are responsible
for their actions." he explains.
Laurence H. Mayfield
"They want to be treated like
adults and they act that way."
"Students are better prepar-
ed now than anytime in the last
30 years. They know what they
want to do and how to do it. ' '
Mayfield, who admits that
coming to JC in 1958 after
working in Kansas junior
colleges was "one of the turning
points in my life." feels that he
came to JC "during the real
growth period of the junior
college."
With recent enrollment cuts
Mayfield is not discouraged and
calls it a "temporary thing." He
adds, "I just can't picture a
state as fine as Florida not
supporting education as in the
past."

Another attainment that will soon be realized, acording to Ms. Bowser, is practice units in the public

Ad Hoc Investigates
Committee Reports
by BRIAN E. CROWLEY
Editor
The "Ad Hoc" committee investigating SG has reported their
findings and recommendations. The following are excerpts from
their reports
Honoraria: There is nothing in the constitution or the by-laws of
the S.G.A. which prohibits the payment of honoraria to student
government personnel. In fact, tradition has been to pay these
people honoraria.
Control over honoraria is maintained by the S.G.A. advisors and
the finance office. The honoraria paid this past Fall term were
approved by the advisors and by the finance office.
Recommendation: It is unrealistic to believe that the electees will
foster and maintain a viable organization without some
compensation. Therefore, "honoraria" should be a budgeted item
of S.G.A. to be awarded according to a merit scale of participation
and achievement.
Elections: Three charges were investigated: 1) the elections were
not held at the originally scheduled time; 2) that the "public"
counter on the machine was covered with masking tape; 3) that the
press was denied access to the room where the vote tabulating was
carried out. The investigation showed that the S.G.A. secretary of
election (who was immediately relieved of his duties and replaced
by another secretary) forgot or neglected to obtain a voting machine
from the County.
It was not resolved as to whether the "public" counter meant that
it was a counter of voters open to public view or whether it was
merely a counter of voters. An opinion from Ms. Winchester,
commissioner of elections for P.B. County stated that this counter
need not be open to public view. And third, the room in which the
votes were tabulated was small, necessitating a restricted
admittance. However, there was a window to the room through
%vhich interested spectators cvould view the tabulation.
Recommendations: In future an assistant secretary of elections be
apppointed who, together with secretary will assume the duty of
providing sufficient machines for all elections.
That nothing be covered or;hidden on the voting machines; that
nothing be done in or near the polling place or places that would
cast the least shadow of doubt with respect to ,the honesty of the"
elections; that the tabulation of the "votes be done in an area targe
enough to accommodate at least six persons other than those who
are tabulating, but only those who are appointed as tabulators will
have access to the machines; that at least one faculty advisor be
present during the tabulations as a witness; that at least one
disinterested party be appointed as a tabulator.
Warner To Leave In June,
"Career Very Rewarding"
by ROBIN KINDLE
Staff Writer
Leon B. Warner, Director of Financial Aid at JC,
will retire June 30, 1975 after 12 years here.
Warner has worked in education for 39 years and
has been in guidance for 25 years. He helped
organize the Monroe County Guidance Counselor's
Association and served as its president.
He also taught history and was Director of
Guidance for the Centralized School System,
Fairport, New York and later became an acting
principal.
After one year here as a guidance counselor he
became the Director of Financial Aid.
Warner's job includes administering all financial
assistance to students through basic grants, loans
and scholarships, and trying to evaluate students
needs through financial statements.
Financial assistance at JC has improved since
Warner has been here. According to Warner, over
half a million dollars in aid have been administered
this year, compared to 'about S20,000 when he
began the job. Last year 1,388 JC students were
assisted and this year the number will be greater.
Warner has added many state and federal aid
programs. The Federal Basic Opportunity Grant
has more than doubled. State student assistance
grants, work-study program, federal loan
programs, and federal grants have been added.
Warner has the same staff as when he started,
his secretary, who has been "overworked."
His career began as a teacher. Because he was
interested in student problems, he became a senior
advisor. He "went into guidance to help
students."
"You get a great deal of satisfaction knowing
you've been able to help someone get an
education. It can also be very frustrating," he
added. "We can't help everyone because of
inadequate facilities and funds."
He said he would like to see "additional
personnel in the financial aid office and more
computerization of financial aid services."
Warner's career has brought him many happy
memories. One example is a successful local coach
who was provided with financial aid through
Warner's efforts.
"He probably would not have succeeded without
the assistance," Warner said.
Contented, Warner says his career has been
"very rewarding."

Coed Found
I Shot In Home
Penny Kirchen, 21 year old
coed at JC, of 444 Los Altos
Road, Palm Springs, was found
shot to death in her home on
April 15.
Miss Kirchen was found on
the bedrom floor by an off duty
sheriff's deputy who lives near
the woman's house. He was
apparently concerned when she
did not leave for school at the
usual time.
Authorities say the death
appears to be suicide but added,
the possibility of foul play has
not been ruled out. Neighbors
claim that there was a loud
argument prior to the girl's
body being found at her house.
Authorities say that Miss
Kirchen lived alone at home
during the time of her death but
indicated that at one time she
had shared the house with
another woman. Miss Kirchen
has been living at the house for
two years since her parents
were divorced.
Miss Kirchen was taken to
Dorsey Funeral Home at 3225 S.
Congress Ave. in Lake Worth.
Police say an autopsy has been
ordered.

OurChoice
Every student should vote for KIMBERLY JONES for SG
president in the upcoming run-off election. Although she was not
our first choice during the primary election, frankly, after the
election speeches, some members of the Editorial Board had second,
thoughts.
The most serious area of disagreement the Comber has with the
Jones platform is her proposal to allow senate approval of
expenditures ofSl.OOO. The figure should be lower.
On the plus side, Jones is a hard worker and thorough researcher
(as she proved with the Title IX controversy). She has indicated a
strong desire to work for the students of JC, and we believe her.
Most important of all is that she wants to get involved in campus
activities. This campus desperately needs an SG president who can
revitalize campus life and demonstrate the leadership we have long
been lacking.
Election Run Well
Last weeks primary election of SG officers was one of the best
conducted elections in recent SG history. The credit must go to
Secretary of Elections Theresa LePore, who put in many long hours
making the election work.
With the exception of too few poll workers (students just wouldn't
help) the balloting went off without a hitch.
There was no masking tape covering the public counters and the
press was permitted to witness the tabulations. The counting was
done quickly and accurately with the results submitted to the press
within minutes.
The entire election was a model of cooperation, dedication and
ability not often found in elections of this tyipe.
Congratulations Theresa LePore for an outstanding job. The
Bechcomber looks forward to working with you in the future.
AmendmentsToo Late
in a highly commendable effort, SG has proposed six full pages of
constitutional amendments. Many of these proposed a,mendments
are long overdue and if passed could add immeasureably to a strong
and vital Student Government.
However, there 3s one major problem, the senate has only one
session left. It is impossible to adequately study and debate six full
pages of amendments in one brief session. Even if the first and
second reading of the proposals are'waived,the senate still could not
give sufficient time to exploring all the ramifications that any new
amendment to the constitution is liable to contain.
In spite of this, there is a move afoot to ramrod these
amendments through the senate for immediate passage. This would
be a grave injustice to the student body.
Enough tinie must be allowed to present the new items to the
student body so that it might have the opportunity to peruse the
amendments and give input to the senate.
It would be futile for the senate to approve these amendments
now. They must be approved by the Student Activity Committee
and a student referendum. There is simply not enough time left this
semester to accomplish all this.
Again, SG should be commended for this tremendous step
forward, but don't ruin' it.- Table these amendments uhtil the Fall
term When there wilf'be eUoiigh* time" for grope'r procedure and
de-bate to take effect. .' ' ' * -'-■".-

Reverberations
Wrap ''Offensive"
Editor:
I was sitting in the cafeteria
last week when one of the
WRAP disc jockeys chose to
announce some facts about
breast cancer.
He proceeded to enlighten his
audience by saying that the
majority of cases of breast
cancer are discovered by women
themselves. He then made some
very snide remarks, implying
that these women had been
fondling their own breasts at the
time of the discovery. The
laughter of another male could
be heard in the background.
As a woman, I found this
broadcast extremely offensive,
derogatory and downgrading.
Because of the serious nature
of breast cancer, doctors have
encouraged women to make
self-examinations, Contrary to
Kalber Responds
Editor and Beachcoiriber Edit-
orial Board:
Unfortunately the Beach-
comber has once again
overstepped its limits. This is in
response to the article "No
Secretary' ' in the issue of April
14,1975.
I have never seen a story so
cruelly written and so utterly
deceiving. The article hit low
and was intended for one
purpose - to hurt. It seemed a
totally personal opinion, and
from what I've been told by
various members of the
'Comber's editorial board, the-
motion to write this was not
favored (even though the motion,
11
must have been carried in order
for the article to appear.).
To write false material is bad
in the first place, but to use a
student "voice" for personal
revenge is even worse.
In response to the material in
the article - it was entirely false
and anyone who is so interested
can Ibok at any records of mine.
I have nothing to hide and my
conscience is clear. I only hope
it is the same for the writer of
the article.
Fortunately, I don't think this
article was tekn seriously. I am
sure your readers have the
sense to be on guard about an

There : is no ombudsman to
intervene on behalf of the
students with the bureaucracy.
Counselors are really tools for
administrators, despite the
professional ideology of couns-

complain to if his teacher is
incompetent, lazy or racist?
A stiident must accommodate
himself to the situation or rebel,'
silently, by dropping out of
school or by turning in poor

alarms, for the system has no

the students of PBJC. When
students accuse teachers of
violations they may as well talk

the feelings of those "boys"
from WRAP, breast cancer is no
laughing matter.
It is not only a physical
trauma but a psychological one
as well. Why? Because men
have always considered a
woman's lareasts as very
important parts of her anatomy
and because of this, women feel
inadequate after breast surgery.
WRAP disc jockeys should
think about what they're saying
before they make such insulting
remarks, The opinion of one
idiot probably does not fairly
represent theopinions of all the
WRAP staff, but if this is an
example of the kind of trash
WRAP is going to broadcast,
they have no busines on the air.

Walkathon Donors Thanked
Editor:
1 would like to thank all students, staff and faculty who supported
our second annual Children's Walkathon. We also appreciate the
publicity provided by the Beachcomber.
All pledges are not yet .in but we estimate that they will total
between $260 and $300. Added to a $500 gift from an anonymous
donor, we will have the beginning of a building fund.
This is open for donations. If you would like to make a donation or
know someone who would like to, please contact us at the Center for

Presidential Aspirations Lie Ahead
by BRUCE MOORE
Associate Editor
Tory Buckley wants to be
president. Don't be alarmed.
The soon-to-be-retiring Student
Government president isn't
starting a late write-in cam-
paign.
But he still wants to be
president; that is. President of
the United States.
"It's not a dream to me,"
said Buckley as he was ending
an interview with the 'Comber
concerning his year as SG
president. "It's at the top where
you can affect changes that
really need to be made in areas
like ecology and big business.
"1 feel within myself enough
ideas to make the country a
much better place," pledged
Buckley.
However, in his present job,
lias he made JC a better place?
Tory Buckley thinks so.
According to Buckley his major
accomplishment was halting an
Administration proposal that

Instructor
Acknowledged
Charles R. McCreight, journ-
alism instructor and advisor to
the Beachcomber, was honored
by the 'Comber Editorial Board
April 17.
Brian E. Crowley, editor-in-
chief, presented McCreight a
plaque on behalf of the board. It
>?vas inscribed "for the time and
advice you gave us whenever we
needed it."
McCreight has been the
advisor to the 'Comber for
almost 13 years. During this
time he has never dictated to
nor censored the Beachcomber.
In areas of questions, he points
out the alternatives available.
According to Crowley, "he is
always there when you need
him. 1 know of no other
instructor on this campus that
puts in as many hours with
students as he does."
would have stipulated no set
amount for student activity fees
in the tuition structure.
Other major achievements
during the year included,
underwriting of concerts, the
purchase of marquees to keep
students informed and a
revitalization of the SG
Gameroom.
In some areas, however, the
SG executive was less than
satisfied and he made . com-
ments concerning the Adminis-
tration, teachers and the
Beachcomber.
In reference to a recent
statement he made at an
election assembly about stu-
dents keeping "out from under
the thumls of the Administra-
tion," Buckley added, "If we
don't get involved it will " hap-
pen."
SG's president supports
legislation currently in the state
legislature that would keep
teachers from getting a tenure
contract until their fifth year,
with an evaluation every two or
thee years afterward.
"If these people aren't any
good, by gosh, let's get rid of
them," said Buckley, who feels
that JC's instructor evaluation
by students should be given
more clout.
Perhaps most upsetting to
Buckley during his term of office
were Beachcomber stories
which were "subjective and not
objective.
"The 'Comber treated SG
very unfairly," said Buckley.
Complaining that stories "took
a stance against SG from the
start," the SG officer urged the
newspaper to get "both sides of
the story" in future efforts.
Buckley also charged Beach-
comber Editor-in-Chief Brian E.
Crowley of "alienating more'
people than making friends,"
and complained about the
"sarcastic tone" in Crowley's
voice during conversations
between the two student
leaders.

In contrast to past elections, votes were counted in full view of
press and public in the North SAC Lounge following the end of the
election Thursday night.
SG officials LePore, Tory Buckley, Dolor Ginchereau, Steve Getz,
and advisors Ann Steckler and Daniel Hendrix each filled out tally
sheets, which went into SG files immediately following
announcement of the results by Getz, SG secretary of publications.
Following the election defeated presidential candidate James Cox

LaPore Thanks Students
Continued From Pg 4
I would also like to thank those students who bothered to get off of
their apathetic asses and vote. To those who didn't, 1 feel sorry for
them because it's their money also that's going to be used by
S.G.A.
Now that that's over with, 1 wish to extend my thanks to the social
and service clubs of PBJC for NOTHING. Wheii 1 first started ;is
supervisor, I was under the impression that the clubs would at least
give some help during election time as far as poll workers go.
However, the only cooperation 1 received was from Circle-K,
Chi-Sig and Philo and 1 really appreciated it.
All I can say is that 1 have enjoyed being supervisor of elections
for SGA and JC and I sincerely . hope that the next supervisor
receives more help and cooperation than 1 did! Xheresa LePore

In short, the official structure of PBJC is primarily an
authoritarian bureaucracy that shapes students according to
regulations. Most students learn to cope with the system. But while
they do so, they may not be learning practices that are consistent
with democratic principles and ideals.
Perhaps the administration might undertake a critical self-study
to learn if it is truly accomplishing its purposes and is fully meeting
the needs of its clients here at PBJC. It could turn to its student
clients and to the community it serves for advice, rather than act on
guard. A teacher must always be a student, than a teacher.

discussion lead from land
donations to the Glades campus,
a presentation on discrimination
of womans athletics and the call
of chairman of the board, Dr.
Edward Eissey's resignation by
board member Mrs. Harry L.
Anstead.
SG, led by president Tory
Buckley and vice president
Dolor Ginchereau, made a
strong presentation on discrim-
ination against womans athlet-
ics. The board referred the
matter to its student activity
committee.
Finally, at the end of the
meeting Mrs. Anstead called for
Dr. Eissey's resignment on the
grounds of a conflict of interests
to a Vice president position that
he is rumored to be seeking
Eissey replied a resignment
would be so for any member of
the board if an application had
been submitted from them. "At

application has been submitted

Providing perhaps the best
show to hit the JC Auditorium

played to a crowd of over 500
spectators. They were preceded
by an excellent high school
band, the Okemos H.S. Jazz

was a silence expectant of some
brilliant playing. The JC Jazz

amuse myself.
I was quite amused one day
when Stan the landlord, ran to

He ran up the stairs to run me

In another incident 1 heard
that a girl was particularly well
built so, naturally, I looked her
up to look her over!
And once I heard of an
inspired General who decided to
lead a revolution, in other
words, he took over the take
over.

humming "Norwegian Wood",
good melody. Wondering if Mr.
Musto would ever get here 1 was
tempted to give it all up and go
home, but the paper said . . .
I started whistling the
"Maple Leaf Rag" wishmg that
the Band had played the tune,
my favorite, earlier.
With nothing else to do 1
started thinking about the
shows which were destined to
come to the auditorium in the
future.
Phi Ro Pi headed by Eugene
Lancaster, and KarenMoore are
planning a musical-variety type
show to play at the auditorium
May 8th and 9th. Musical
numbers to be presented
include the "Money" song from
the play "Cabaret", "Magic To
Do" from "Pippin" and "If 1
Were A Rich Man" from
"Fiddler On The Roof." The
songs and production numbers
will be used to separate five
scenerios of varying colors,
drama, comedy, pathos, written
by Neil Simon. The Show is
going to be free to students and
should be a good one. Lancaster
and Moore are noted for their
successful endeavors.
But even before that show the
Pacesetters are scheduled to
play at the auditorium Wednes-
day, April 23 at 8 p.m. The
Pacesetters are the show that
you don't want to miss. Always
exciting, providing variations on
the theme of beauty, the
Pacesetters are my personal
favorite group at this school.
The auditorium suddenly took
on an eery feeling . . .
The Pacesetter, dynamic singers
8;00p.m.
something was about to happen.
Pow, enter the Fezwick
Moonfish! Who? the Feswick
Moonfish, 15 players dedicated
to presenting a sharp and viable
show to the Civic Center in
Boynton Beach, Saturday, May
3 at 6 p.m. The show is shaping
up well and several of the
plajens have come to the
auditorium at this late hour to
practice, practice, practice.
Headed by David Batho and
Glenn Powell, the Moonfish
slide through the entrance
number with shadowy grace . . .
"Mr. Musto ..." no answer.
The players leave. The
auditorium is an interesting
place. To think that Monday,
April 21 at 8:15 p.m. Mr. Gross
will lead the Concert Orchestra
through their annual Spring
concert. Featuring Classical and
Semi-classical selections the
concert will include works by
composers by Gluck, and Haydn
plus selections from Oliver by
Bart. It will be a free concert.
It is dark and cold now. The
with professional polish are to entertain in the auditorium April 23 at
large room is filled with the
faintest of eehos from "The
Suncatcher.s" that the Jazz
Band had performed earlier.
Goodband.
The sun came up and warmed
the auditorium seat and 1 woke
up (1 had fallen asleep while
waiting).
It wa.s around 9:30 a.m. and 1
was still waiting.
At 11:00 a.m. 1 was still there.
At 12:00 a.m. things started
to happen, people were rushing
here and there to get the stage
ready for something. Then, at
12:30 p.m. the JC Jazz Band
was back again! Playing
Norwegian Wood just as 1
remembered it with its
cascading flowing movement, I
rubbed the sleep from my eyes
and the band was playing The
The Beer Sti Told
Dregs From Kegs Will WJe Your Legs
Suncatcher again, much to my
pleasure. Filled with tempo
changes, subtle variations and
forcefully rendered by a
formidable set of five trumpets.
Pleasure.
And Finally, Mr. Art Musto,
ventriloquist. I sat up in my
chair.
There he was talking and yet
not talking. Singing all three
parts of a trio's song. Mr. Musto
is a pretty good singer, he's a
better comic, and an even belter
ventriloquist. 1 was impressed.
For having waited so long to see
him perform it had to be a
fantastic performance to im-
press me at that point.
The whole show was recorded
by (he AV center so future
students can see what they
missed.
Ail that was needed now was'
to hear "Maple Leaf Bag" and
true to excellent form, the Jazz
band came through, they played
the "Rag" and there were
maple leave notes flying all over
the auditorium.

It is bottled, bootlegged and bought. It's kegged, canned and
craved. But never before has any beverage been worshipped, loved
or held ill higher esteem than 'The Almighty Beer. '
Americans, it seems, are the best at this. While malt beverages
have been consumed in a normal fashion throughout Europe and
Asia for centuries, beer drinkers in the United States have let it
become one of the most influential aspects of our society.
Wherever man is found, so is beer. It is consumed for
refreshment purposes, for party purposeis, and a drink at a main
meal. One of President Ford's Secret Service men was even recently
spotted loading 40 cases of Coors beer aboard an Air Force cargo
plane "by standing order of the White House." When will all this
madness end?!
While it is only recently beer has hit the all-time popularity it is
enjoying today, it had its beginning as long as seven thousand years
ago. Ale was the Egyptian's great national beverage, and according
to their mythology, the gods Osiris and Isis invented brewing.
Beer-making in the Middle Ages was art, with almost every
monastry having its own brewhouse. Greeks learned brewing from
Egyptians and malt beverages have been produced continuously in
Europe ever since.
This was only the beginning of the ludicrous love affair which was
destined to last for centuries.
During the early explorations of America, beer was taken in the
place of water because water stagnated too easily .
How convenient. Also, it was on the floor of a Baltimore brewery
that the flag was sewn which flew over Fort McHenry and inspired
the writing of the "Star Spangled Banner." Now all of you beer
drinkers can not only get drunk, but also feel a bit patriotic every
time you open a can of brew.
The United States is the largest beer producer in the world. The
'Big Four' includes Anheuser-Busch, Schlitz, Pabst and Coors.
Anheuser-Busch is credited with over 20 per cent of the total U.S.
and two per cent of the total world production. However, even with
such impressive statistics, though, America is ranked only tenth in
consumption. . ' •
If this is so, why then do those who DO indulge in the practice do
so with such ridiculous feverilshness? And what is it about this
popular beverage that turns good men bad and makes babbling

Good-Bye, Henry
by PETE CLAUSEN
Staff Writer
There was only enough air to sustain a human life for a few minutes, but Henry knew it would be plenty
and Chuck didn't even seem concerned.
Chuck was going on a trip but he didn't know it. Even then Henry was working out the final
arrangements for the trip.
Chuck would be going to live with Henry's parents in Los Angeles. But he was not even taking a
suitcase!
The mailman would be coming soon so Henry had to hurry. He went to his desk and took out eight
air-mai! stamps. Next he went to the kitchen and picked out a small tupperware and then went into his
room where Chuck was sleeping.
"Chuck," he said, "it's about time to go." Chuck did nbt seem enthused and he did not reply. Just
then the mailman knocked on the door. It was he who would be making the final arrangements for the
trip.
Henry and Chuck went into the kitchen and then came out. Henry handed the mailman the tupperware
and the stamps. "Take good care of Chuck, " he said.
The mailman left and Henry knew that he would not see his pet caterpiller again until summer
vacation.
Where Has Gone The Novel Twisf?
by FLICK MAGER
Staff Writer
If you feel you've lost your
mind, it's a good time to write a
best-seller.
Novels used to make actual
sense. Their plots tied up loose
ends. Their characters were
either good or bad. Good people
were rewarded, bad ones
punished.
In today's novel, however,
you must have certain things.
There is at least one
madly-energetic sex scene, the
more imaginative the better.
The characters are a piebald
assortment of ethnic groups.
Migrant workers and Vietnam-
ese orphans should be included
if possible - they're timely.
Main characters should fall
roughly into one of the following
categories:
1. An evangelist who,
disgusted with God's failure to
call down lightnings at his
request, is trying to Find
Himself on Madison Avenue.
2. A once-dedicated business-
man who, disillusioned with his
company's materialism, tosses
away his briefcase and goes on a
Quest to Find Himself.
3. A misunderstood girl driven
out of her home by un-cool
parents, trying to Find Herself
in every bed in the nation.
4. A Puritanically-repressed
husband who leaves his
social-climber wife to find a
'New 'Identity in the wilds of
the Pactific Northwest.
5. A lonely college dropout who
roams about spreading youthful
insight and VD. He Finds
Himself with a girl he meets.-
she finds herself, too -- in
trouble.
In addition, the modern novel
has its complement of unfaithful
husbands, cynical 14-year-old
chicks Out 'On Their Own,
traumatic, wrenching self-dis-
coveries, and lots of remarks
about society's evils. Senior
citizens are popular inclusions,
too.
The novel I plan to write is
bound to make money. It will
star a one-time Jewish business-
man out to Find Himself on the
way to the Pacific Northwest.
His tattered clothes and
anti-society remarks attract a
misunderstood Chinese college
girl who is Finding Herself
BETWEEN BEDS. She joins
him on his quest. Meanwhile, a
repressed Black husband leaves
his wife to clamber socially
while he heads toward the
Pacific. A lonely but insightful
half-Indian dropout heading

Class "Types"
Studied
by BECKY MORSE
Staff Writer
Stereotyping of individuals
into groups normally is a
practice which I despise but for
the fun of it, with all seriousness
aside, 1 have listed some
common "types".
Built-in-alarm student -
wakes up automatically at the
end of class.
Sleeping stare student -
sleeps with eyes open fixed on
instructor.
Rip Van Winkle student -
slept all through high school and
may never wake up.
Weak-hearted student -
always absent on the day of
tests.
Future secretary student -
attempt to impress instructor by
taking dictation .
Study hall student - sits in
class studying for the test - in
his next class.
Friendly student - goes to
class solely to socialize with
friends.
Kisser or con -artist - bends
over backwards to please
instructors, including laughing
at bad jokes, and frequent office
visits for "talks".
Then there are students like
me, the nature lover student -
ptefers looking out the windows
at birds, trees, anything but the
instructor.

frequently of important dates --
memory is likely to be somewhat

turned to your advantage, but
revealing that you heard it could
spoil everything.
Gemini: According to your
plotted cycle, this should be a
peak week for you. Make plans
now and follow them through in
the next three weeks if possible.
Cancer: Moon-children have a
distinct tendency to jump to
conclusions, particularly right
now. Don't let a snap judgment
throw you. Think h through
before you decide on action.
Leo: Someone you know well is
bout to do something startling.
Be aware of this and don't
overreact.
Virgo! A thoughtless remark or
joke could snowball into an
important engagement. Since
this week has a positive aspect,
the result is likely to be
gratifying.
Libra: Music will pay an
important part in this week's
events. It may be a concert you ■
attend, a tune you hum or an
instrument you play, but it can
be put to favorable use.
Scorpio: Risks you take are
almost certain to turn out
against you. Someone you
thought of as a friend does not
have your best interests in
mind. However, the post office
holds a good surprise for you.
Sagittarius: This week holds
promises and threats in every
direction. It is definitely not
the time to become involved
personally. Remain aloof. If
you're in a position to make
investments, do it now.
Capricbm: This will be a very
trying week, but things appear
more hopeful in coming months.
Try to keep away from any
endeavor which seems unlikely
to succeed. Be careful, you may
be accident-prone.

Only four minor league
baseball teams operated in the
black during the 1974 season.
One of those distinguished four
is the West Palm Beach Expos,
owned by Fred Whitacre.
Whitacre believes that "It's
marginal. I'm not making any
money, but I'm happy," Only
last Wednesday night Whitacre
was reassured that baseball can
thrive in West Palm as 6400 plus
people saw the Expos rout Ft.
Lauderdale in their home-open-
er.
Whitacre explains that the
Montreal farm system attracts
the fans to the park. "It's hard
to promise people another
pennant but it's easy to promise
them another good team,
because of the Montreal farm
system.

close the season today, with
their match against Broward
Community College in Cocoa

over their last match. Charles
Wadlington overrode Peterson,
6-1, 6-3, while Rizo gained

outplayed Horowitz 6-4, 6-2.
In the doubles matches,

ered Peterson and Beecroft 6-2,
6-1. Russell and Ray won .
Schaetell and Horowtiz 6-3, 6-4.
After the match with Miami
Dade-North, the team hindered
their chances in the Florida
State Tournament because of
the loss. Cocah Harris McGirt
feels that in the State
Tournament the team "will be
in the top five, if not, the top
three." Miami Dade-North had
beaten them twice, and
remained undefeated. They are
now No. 1 in the state.
The team is ranked in the
official statistics as fifth in the
state. Charles Wadlington is
ranked No. 2 in the No. 1 singles
position, with a 7-0 record, as of

we hit the ball out of the park.
That's only to our advantage."
West Palm Beach is the only
Class A team representing the
Montreal Expos this year. This
emans that a prospect of the
Expos will play in Wst Palm
Beach. Whitacre says, "Two
- keys to this club are hustle and
Gordie (Gordon MacKenzie -
field manager). Gordie makes
sure they play hard. This
reflects the Expos training camp
which is Hke no other camp in
baseball. It's a boot camp."
Fred Whitacre is known for
being a great promotional man.
This year, with the co-operation
of local merchants, the Expos
have 68 "nights" ranging from
Booster Button Night to
Condominium Night to WHAT
Radio Night.
"The difficuhy of a promotion
depends upon the merchant to
push it. Use their advertising
moneys. Sometimes the night
doesn't come off and it is
usually the fault of the dealer."
The Expos are on a nine game
road trip. West Palm Bcachis to

Gallagher Speaks
Sports Offers More
by PHILIP NEUBAUER
Staff Writer
"1 can't think of anything I'd rather do," says Jim Gallagher
referring to his job. Jim Gallagher is the sports director for WPEC
Channel 12 in West Palm Beach. Gallagher was recently on campus
to speak to JC's Advanced Reporting Class.
Gallagher answered questions ranging from his job to Howard
Cosell. He commented that since he was into sports that hehad the
opportunity to do sports broadcasting and that started liim on his
way. Gallagher noted that there were only two things they ask for
when he applied for a job, "a resume and a tape." He says,
"Broadcasting football games on television is easier than the radio
because you have to tell more of what is going on . "
In regard to "Humble Howard", Gallagher notes, "Cosell
opened things up in broadcasting. He's one of the first to be
critical and hang in there. ' '
Gallagher feels to many teams make the playoffs in American
Basketball Association and the National Hockey League. A total of
38 teams participate in the play-offs. Gallagher proposes the
leagues limit their playoffs to a best of 3 series.

Mistakes Plague JC
In Dade-North Loss
by TIMOTHY L. BRAY
Sports Editor
"You just don't make mistakes against our
ballclub," said Miami Dade-North baseball coach
Demie Maineri after his club, capitalizing on JC
errors, exploded to a 14-3 victory Wednesday
night.
JC jumped to a 2-0 lead scoring a single run in
each of the first 2 innings, before the roof caved in.
Tom McCullough scored Glenn Rogers in the
first. Bob Benda collected an RBI in the second off
winning pitcher Bill Nelson, scoring Skip Walker.
In the bottom of the fourth, ETade-North errupted
like turning on a light switch. Julian Rodriquez,
racked by 7 runs, was relieved by Eddie Fisher,
who allowed 2 more runs. Over-all, Dade-North
collected 9 runs, 6 hits and the Pacers committed 1
costly error.
Forest Hill grad Dave Adiemy led the assault
with a double and Andy Hill connected for a triple.
Pacer coach Dusty Rhodes felt after the 3-0 loss
to the Falcons on Tuesday night that his club could
defeat them on Wednesday night.
"Someday I'm going to beat them and it will be
in the near future.
"It seems like we make more mental mistakes
against Dade-North than against every other team
we've played," said the disappointed coach. JC
committed 5 errors in the 2 game series.
Tuesday night Ross Baumgarten impressed the
crowd striking out 12, but losing the game 3-0. The
Falcons picked up single runs in the second, fifth
and seventh with RBI's generated predominately
from the bottom of the order.
JC threatened in the second when Skip Walker
reached third base on a passed ball and John Inglis
walked. But they were left stranded when the
Falcon's Kevin Neroni struck out Dave Lang.
The Pacers record dropped to 11-9 in conference
and 27-10 overall. The club travels to Miami
Dade-South to conclude the season Saturday to
play the Jaguars in a 12 noon double-header.

BEACHCOAABERi edition
For the students and faculty
of JC the 74/ 75 school year has
been a memorable one. In this
Special Edition, the Beach-
comber has attempted to
capture some of the highlights
of the year and present them in
such a way that it will enhance
your memory and enjoyment.
Special Edition is divided into
three sections. The first covers
many of the interesting news
events that have taken place
this year.The second is a review
of past Venture stories and
musical and artistic happenings
on the campus. The last
segment captures athletics and
intramurals at their best and
worst.
Overall it has been a
satisfying year for the Beach-
comber. Our Venture and Sports
sections have continued to grow
and improve. The News
department has constantly
worked to keep up with the
news. Mistakes? There have
been some, but from them we
think we have learned .
Editorially, the Beachcomber
EDITORIAL 1
has fought for change and in
many ways has won. For the
first time the Faculty Senate
investigated Student Govern-
ment . and ■ made specific
recommendations for improve-
ment. Financially, SG has taken
steps to protect the handling of
monies. SG elections started out
as a comedy of errors and have
progressed to nearly perfectly
conducted elections. Significant
changes, in battles led by the-
Beachcomber, have been made.
Winter term SG senators
should be congratulated. Many
of the new seantdrs worked hard
to make the student government
once again belong to the
students. The Beachcomber
islooking forward to working
with them in the future.
The editors and staff of the
'Comber would like to extend
thanks to all the students and
faculty of JC for helping us
throughout the year. VVe would
like to give particular thanks to
Charles R. McCreight, 'Comber
advisor, who has given us
countless hours of time and
deeply appreciated advice.

Clubs
Clubs were active at JC throughout the year in a variety of
ways. Though membership in most clubs was at an all-time
low, those students who cared made their time and hard work
count.
On pages four and five of this special edition are highlights
of club activities in the 1974-1975 school year.
O.A.A.
The O.A.A., Black Service Organization of Afro American
Affairs donated a library on Black culture and its
contributions to society. The library is located in room 83.
Other activities of the year included a special assembly to
honor Dr. Martin Luther King.
Science Club Launches Trips
The Science Club started the year with a primitive canoe
run starting near River Bend Trailer Park and ending in
Jonathan Dickinson Park. Mr. Gross also conducted field
trips and nature hikes.
Sales

Club
Besides sales and Market-
ing, the Sales and Marketing

canned good drive and blo.od

First Man Ever To Win Contest
Newman Club Helpful
Sponsoring parties and food drops for migrant children
were main concerns with the Newman Center this year. Also
an Easter egg hunt and various other activities highlighted
the clubs projects.
For the first time in the
history of the contest a man
has been selected as the
winner of the Wishmg Well
contest.
Marc Bressler, editor-in-
chief of the Beachcomber
was declared the winner
Wednesday, December 11,
over a mixed slate of male
and female candidates.
This year was the first
time that men had entered
the previously all-girl contest
Four men had entered the
contest which 'included
Glynne Hughes, Frank
Smith, Tory Buckley, Anna
Marie Fredell, Cynthia
Campbell, Sandi Pooley,
Constance Holmes, and Lin

Voting took place in front
of the Finance Office, and
students could vote by
placing money in containers
specified for each candidate.
Money donated to this
contest goes to the Early
Childhood Development
Center.

Foreign students brought
many new customs and faces
to JC. Some participated in
sports, service clubs, honor
societies and even got
married. The students held a
banquet at the end of the
winter term which was
followed by the marriage of
Judy Newton and Fansak
Ratanapasith, Thailand style
at the end of the Winter term
held in honor of the start of
the new year in Thailand.
Early Learning Center Expands
Although the Early Learning Center had to turn back many
JC parents,,the reason being lack of space, they did expand
a play area for the children donated by the Chi-Sig fraternity.
Also a childrens walkathon was held to raise .money. The
center uses the. Montissori method of teaching which
emphasizes training olthe senses and guidance rather than
rigid control of the childs activity so as to encourage
self-education.
PhiRoPi
The acting organization on
campus helped out in speach
tournaments, readers theat-
er and pushed to . get new
seats in the auditorium. With
donations from SG and other
organizations FRP may see
its goal. Also members were
involved in the fall term play,
The Sign in Sidney Brunstins
Window.
Political Union
The political union this year was active in many areas of
social concern bringing in speakers to lecture to students. In
the elections in the fall term, Jerry Thomas, gubernatorial
candidate, James Sebesta and many other candidates were
invited to a Folorgy. Also speakers from ERA were featured
in the SAC lounge.
Dental
Sorority
The Dental Hygiene Sor-
ority received their, caps in
the nearly packed jC
auditorium in January. With
long stemmed roses,, sym-
bolizing the perfection,
beauty, purity, and love that
they .strive for in the dental
service, 37 girls from the
dental hygiene class and, 32
from dental assisting march-
ed into the auditorium.

Phi-Lo, the womans s.oror-
ity, planned a 50's dance .in
the fall term along with
various other clubs on
campus. They also held their
traditional Ajch Ball. They
call this dance the Arch Ball
because of a tradition in
which Phi Lo members and
their escorts walked through

Fine Entertainment
The JC music department had ja very successful year. The
Concert Choir recently ended their Spring Program on a high
note with a near flawless showing of blended tonality. The
Concert Choir was headed by Mrs. Pat Johnson.
The Jazz Band was. a hot group of musicians who
lerformed on several occasions with excellent taste and
virtuosity. The Jazz Band was. directed by Mr. Sy Pryweller.
Another pleasing part of this years performing groups was
he Concert Orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Gross, the
'^"Sestra managed many fine moments of movement during
shows.
er groups who's work was. exceptional were the
rt Band, the always lively Pacesetters and the Guitar
ibles.
d for individual outstanding performances are: Denise

Farese of the Jazz Band and Karen Bunner of the
rt Choir.
Coffeehouse
Through the Fall and Winter
terms various "Coffeehouses"
were held in the school's
cafeteria. The Coffeehouse
performers were a dedicated
group of good artists, willing to
play for the reward of applause.
Among contributing artists
were: Robin Plitt, Tim
Dougherty, Kimberly Jones
and the Casey Jones . Band,
Dave Farese, Dale Steinmetz,
and Louanne Moseley. There
were many more just as good
which made the shows just that
much better.
The Coffeehouses were
organized by Student Govern-
ment.
Seminars Swing
Very often, on Wednesdays, the Music
Department had a seminar for it's students.
Very often it was this reporters pleasure to
attend and report upon the happenings there.
The seminars were instructional .while
often entertaining. They provided a place for
beginning musicians to first perform for their
peers. They provided for a place for the
facuhy mthin the Humanities department to
play pieces of music to demonstrate proper
presentation, showmanship, and stage
presence.

What it . became . however, was merely
informative and light writing. Which is
good, perhaps. There, seems, to be a trend
at the present time for writing that can

In this section we have delved upon such
varied topics as Marijuana use^suicide, old
age, hum.an endeavors, community
reports, consumer reports, humor,
venereal diseases, and science.
We've delved in doodles.
We've discussed the _rides . at

There has been stories on inter-personal

Afhletes Prosper
In 1974-75 Season
by PHILIP NEUBAUER and TIMOTHY L. BRAY
JC's athletic depaqrtment is concluding its finest and most
prosperous year. Dr. Howard Reynolds, athletic director, h9.s
guided the department's clubs to winning seasons, despite
the cutbacks initiated at the beginning of winter term.
Despite some poor team finishes, the infant JC
cross-country^ team improved steadily through-out the
season. Don Edgar and Ed Everett, two transfer runners,
lead the Pacers which included top performances in the Pacer
Invitational and the IRC CInvite.
In 1974, JC's basketball teaift compiled a record of 22-7
and in 1975 everyone feh this was the year for the Pacers to
capture the state basketball championship.
Looking at reality, the ingredients were prevelent but a fist
full of leadership was lacking, according to Coach Bob
Wright. Two-thirds of JC's eight losses which were less than
5 points apiece. The Pacers were out-played in the final 10
minutes of each game. -
"Turnovers at key points, and other occurrences showed
that the time ran out before we could do anything. Over-all at
times the boys were exceptional, and at other times not so
exceptional," said Wright. Continued Page 10
The "Turkey Trot" in November was just one of
the many successful activities of thel&R Board.
Other Intramural activities included bowling, one-
on-one basketball, putting and pool-
Kathy Wilk, Dawn Pastore, Amy Strimbu and Ed

SG Plans For Fall
By BRUCE MOORE
News Editor
Student Government's re-
cently initiated 1975-1976 Exec-
utive Board has announced the
formation of the Leadership and
Service Committee in an effort
to fill SG's 61 positions when the
Fall term begins.
SG President Randy Simler
said the purpose of the
committee is to find students
interested in SG work and then
channel them to the proper SG
appointment committees.

Trustees
At least 20 applications have
been received by Governor
Reubin Askew's office for the
three vacant positions on JC's
District Board of Trustees.
In an interview with the
Beachcomber Thursday, Ms.
Jane Love, Appointments Sec-
retary to Governor Askew, said
the governor would not make a
decision on his appointments
until at least Thursday, June 12.
"Two or three applications
have come in even today (June
S)," said Ms. Love, indicating
that the field could possibly
exceed 25 applicants by the time
Askew makes his choices.
Positions to be filled include
those of Maynard C. Hamblin
and Susan Anstead, whose
terms expired May 31. The
trustees replacing Hamblin and
Anstead are to serve four-year
terms to May 31, 1979.
Dr. Edward Eissey, who has
served as chairman of the board
for the 1974-1975 session,
stepped down from his post in
order to be considered as
vice-president of JC's North
Campus, a position he accepted
at May's trustee meeting.
Eissey's replacement on the
board is to serve a two-year
term ending May 31 , 1977.
Trustees Mrs. Homer Hand
and Dr. Robert Smith are to
conclude their terms in office
May 31, 1977 and May 31, 1978
respectively.

Spring Regisfration Slows
Evening Registrar Charles Graham announced
Thursday the latest enrollment figures for JC's
Spring 11 term. According to Graham, 750
students have enrolled for classes Spring II, with
450 and 300 attending day and evening classes,
respectively.
The current Spring II totals are not final due to
a planned re-opening of registration for one day,
June 24.
Because of an enrollment cap, which was
necessitated due to a state budget cut, the 1975
totals do not ihatch up to those of 1974 when 1813
students, 794-day and 1019-night, enrolled.
Regarding Fall term registration Graham
explains that the 2750 who have registered thus
far is "about normal" for a Fall term.
However, Graham, who replaces retiring
Lawrence Mayfield as JC's registrar June 30,
notes a sharp rise in new student applications,

committee, which thus far only
includes SG Secretary Lynn
Kalber. According to Bukely,
the committee is to expand to
five persons near the end of the
summer terms.
Letters from the Leadership
and' Service Committee have
been sent to all JC department
heads asking them to refer
students capable and interested
in various areas of SG
participation,
Bukely 's committee is also
planning presentations for the
annual freshman orientation in
August. Bukely anticipates
problems in filling SG's 20
Undersecretaries, which have b
een ' ' historically understaffed , ' '
but is hopeful of seeing 30-35
students run for the 24 vacant
SG Senate positions in the fall.
Whh three executive board
meetings completed and an-
other scheduled for Thursday,
June 17, 12-noon, in SG's
offices, Simler said his main
emphasis has been to build
toward a cohesive and fully-
staffed student government.
SG's president plans to
conduct orientations for all SG
personnel in the fall'. Explained
will be the purpose of SG as well
as long and short term projects.

work in the Winter term .
According to Simler, "Very
early next fall we're going to
submit guidelines for senate
honorariums." Though the
guidelines have not as yet been
established in a proposal the SG
executive anticipates the foll-
owing areas to be included:
♦attendance at meetings
♦participation in meetings
♦work outside the senate
♦committee participation

body. The senate will know
what's expected of them and
this may also stimulate
interest."
In other SG news Dean Robert

Congrats To SG
Involvement. That key work "involvement" was at the root of
what plagued JC's Student Government Association during the
past year.
Involvement in SG was a problem as 20 undersecretaries were
never appointed, a judicial board did not become formulated
until well into the Winter term and the SG Senate sufferred from
constant turnover.
What resulted was a one-branch, executive board-dominated
student government which often went unchecked.
With the initiation just a month ago of new executive board
members Randy Simler, Ron Bukely, Lynn Kalber and Paul
Sapp, a new word has been added to the SG vocabulary;
involvement.
Formation of the Leadership and Service Committee, an ad hoc
group formed by President Simler, should go a long way toward
securing a more viable and active student government.
Through the committee's efforts SG can become an
organization of more vitality and diversity. Simler's plans to
conduct personal interviews and hold an orientation with all SG
personnel in the fall is also encouraging.
The Beachcomber welcomes the new executive board with
anticipation of the coming school year being a time when all
students work together in the betterment of our college.
JC Activity Dormant
Spring, traditionally a time of new life, comes to JC a little
differently. There are considerably fewer students enrolled in
Spring I than were enrolled in the Winter term, giving this term
a toned down atmosphere rather than one of excitement.
'iTie halls and cafeteria are emptier, Student Government is not
active and the Beachcomber is not a familiar sight on Monday
mornings. The latter was true, that is, until this week.
In the continuing effort to keep you informed, we present this
newspaper. It is a mini-Comber in a sense, only four pages long.
It is also somewhat of a testing ground for new ideas.
■ You may notice some changes from the usual Beachcomber
format in this issue and the issue next week. Some changes may
be permanent, some will not be. All are results of our hope to
constantly improve the newspaper-
With this in mind, we give you this Spring I issue of the
Beachcomber. While things are not typical for JC in the spring,
there are new ideas presented here.

Noah built his ark, shepherds gathered their
flocks and the Morton Salt girl made ready her
umbrella, but Palm Beach County residents still
find themselves unprepared as summer shQwers
continue to take them by surprise.
People have rnixed emotions on rain. Some say
it's all washed up. Others believe it's the
Hfeblood of our existence. True, precipitation
does offer valuable nutrition to the plants on
which we live, ~but rnost admit the daily
droppings do little more than give a temporary
green tint to South Florida's glamorous
sandspur-sawgrass landscaping.
For four months, a drought was threatening as
area lakes and canals dried up like prunes. Then
suddenly, May Day bloomed and so did the
rainclouds.
Although several tornadoes, funnel clouds and
a three to four inch downpour were reported in
the coastal areas of Palm Beach County last
week, the precipitation count at the airport for
that outburst totaled a measlv 23-hundreths of an
inch. Normal rainfall for this time of year is 18.18
inches, but the . official weather station has
reported only 10 inches so far this year.
Some people like rain. They play in it. They
stand under a roof gutter and give themselves a
rainwater-roofcrud beauty treatment shampoo.
And they swear the unpredictable showers do not
interfere with their daily pains. As they say,
"Just listen to the weather reports. You'll know
wlTatto-expect-. " i
Others can't help feeling a bit skeptical,
however, as they water -ski through the puddles
of Lake Worth on a 10-speed, all the while
hearing on their portable radio, "Thirty percent
chance of rain today, a bee-utiful day for the
beach!"
There's only one way to win. When in doubt,
heed the advice of the great book Babylonian
Talmud: Berachoth: "If it rains in the morning,
Ass-driver, mil up ihy sack and retire to sleep."

JC Scholarships
By Philip Neobaner
Sports Editor
The Board of Trustees recently approved a 65 per cent
^ increase in athletic scholarship money for the 1975-76 school
year.
The board authorized $39,166 for the scholarship fund based
on 42 grants-in-aid for men and a possibility of 24 for women.
This is an increase from $23,828 during the 1974-75 season which
included 42 scholarships for men and none for women.
With the scholarship boost Athletic Director Dr. Howard
Reynolds took little time in signing three women to the women's
tennis team.
Reynolds signed two women from last year's team, Susan
Atherley and Marina Polman Tuin, both from Atlantis.
The third signer was Vicki B eggs, Glenn Ridge, who recently
received the female scholar-athlete award at Cardinal Newman's
annual sports dinner.
"We're trying to build a quality women's program at JC and
the signing of three tennis players the caliber of Susan, Marina
and Vikki will put us on the right road. ' ' comments Reynolds.
Vikki could probably play on our men's team if she wanted to
because she's good enough." added Reynolds.
In regard to the scholarships, Polman Tuin commented, "I
think it's a good thing to have women's scholarships because we
practice as hard as the men do. "
"Ifeel that if we do the same work we should be treated the
same," noted Atherley.
This year, the women will be starting practice in the fall term.
In the past the women haven't started practice until later in the
year.
In men's tennis, Jim Harris of Forest Hill High School in West
Palm Beach, will be playing for JC next year.
Harris was signed in the effort to offset the loss of his No. 1 , 2,
and 5 player from this year's 17-4 team, thu-d best in the state.
Harris, who played No. 1 for Forest Hill, has a sound all-round
game which took him to the conference championship and the
finals in the district championship this year.
JC baseball coach Dusty Rhodes is continuing signing top area
prospects. Recently signed was Harold Steadman and Donald
Shields from Lake Worth High School.
"We lost our outfield to graduation this year, and these two
will go a long way toward replacing some good players,"
commented Rhodes.
Also signed was Forest Hill High School's Bob Charron and
Nick Maniotis.
Charron, a pitcher, had 125 strike-outs in 83 innings for Forest
Hill this past season.
Maniotis is a fine all round ball player and one of the leading
hitters for the team.
Another signee was Eric Keller from Lake Worth High School.
Keller, who played third base, had the top batting average for
the Trojans this season with .292. Keller was awarded the Dick
Brown Memorial Scholarship as the most dedicated player at
Lake Worth High.
Athletic Director Dr. Howard Reynolds recently signed the first three women tennis players
in the history of JC. Pictured from left are: Susan Atherlet, Vikki Beggs, Reynolds and Mar-
ina Polman Tuin.

By BRUCE MOORE
News Editor
"Students have developed
the idea that simply because
they want something they're
going to get it," said a relaxed
Robert Moss as he pondered his
recent appointment as advisor
to Student Government.
Moss, whose life is complica-
ted enough as JC's Dean of
Students-Men, was appointed
to the advisory post a month ago
by Vice-President of Student
Affahs Paul J. Glynn and now
works out of an office adjacent
to the North SAC Lounge .
For several years Ms. Marian
McNeely served as SG advisor
until last year when three JC
instructors were appointed as
co-advisors.
Now Moss finds himself
replacing all three, though he is
not sure why he got h. "Since 1
was not directly involved with it
(SG), I'm not really sure," said
Moss. Glynn, who authorized
the change, was out of town and
could not be reached for
comment.
Dean Moss sees his new role
being that of an "ombudsman"
between SG and members of the
faculty, administration, and
Board of Trustees.
"Advisor means ADVISOR,"
he reiterated. "SG officers are
elected and must perform the
• •
duties. I'm here to provide
assistance and be an all-purpose
go-between who helps to cut red
tape where it's difficult to cut.".
SG's advisor admitted that
the first weeks on the job have
been difficult since he as well as
the new executive board was

JC Improves Health
Disabled Access
Mention of a grant application to the State of
j^lorida to make Palm Beach Junior College
^^mpus buildings more accessible to disabled
students was included in a 1974-75 Health
|ervices Report to the PBJC administration.
"In an effort to eliminate barriers for disabled
students, the application calls for elevators in all
Strapns buildings, pressurized entrance doors,
^od level thresholds," Miss Helen Diedrich,
director of Health Services, explains.
"As yet. we have not received rejection or
cceptance of the grant application," the director
^dds.
Another grant application, submitted to
initiate a seminar for instructors and counselors
to increase their knowledge and understanding of
problems of the disabled, was rejected but will be
reworked for next year, according to Miss
Diedrich.
Thirty-eight "Handicapped Parking" spaces
were assigned to disabled PBJC students in the
past year, and a special telephone at wheelchair
height was installed outside the Finance Office.
The arrival, in July 1974, of a new college
nurse, Mrs, Mary Cannon, LPN, and an increase
by 400, of visits to the Health Clinic - from 1522 to
1922 during the past year was also reported by
Miss Diedrich.

It's Playboy
Vs. Parents
That favorite of the JC student--the Playboy magazine-is
smut. It's the land of thing parents, banded together in
anti-pomography groups, have made the news fighting.
Actually, Playboy magazines, with covers "exposed" to all
eyes in convenience stores, are just one thing anti-smut groups
are battling. Major attacks have been made on adult bookstores
and these citizens have appeared en masse before the county
commission and city councils to voice their beliefs.
And their voices have been heard; they've generated concern
among area adult bookstore owners. Last week, Riviera Beach
councilmen voted not to renew the license of one bookstore and
refused to grant one to another. These decisions came at a time
of strong pressure from this group and could have resulted from
it.
Some headway has been made and this is surely not the last
we'll hear from this group (a big anti-pornography movement
■ comes around about once a year). But, brown paper wrappers
now conceal many of those Playboys in question, and the ranting
and raving has gone too far. More importantly, this group is
toying with something dangerous: censorship.
Certainly, one can't argue with parents who want to protect
their children from the evils of Playboy. But, when protection
gets to the point of censorship, it's another story. Adult
bookstores, no matter what type material they sell, would be
censored if told they could not sell it .
This group says "the people are up in arms" against smut.
But, who defines what pornography is? Who mterprets the
freedoms of the first amendment? Even the Supreme Court could
not do a sufficient job when these questions were brought to it.
And, who are the people "up in arms" against porn? The
group is guUty of hasty generalization; there is no evidence that a
majority of county citizens are disturbed about this situation .
Most people don't patronize adult bookstores, most don't
enjoy pornography. Therefore, most probably are not up in arms
about a situation that doesn't directly affect them. Some are
probably amused at the fuss made by this anti-smut movement.
Whatever the general feeling, the group has to re-examine its
auns- protection or censorsliip?
Dropping Unfair
You've never attended your Spring I class. And now, at the
end of the term, you filially get around to getting your drop
slip...
It's a convenient process but students who've done this forget
something very important-they deprived another student the
opportunity to attend a class.
It's too late to warn against this, now we can just criticize
students who registered for a class and never attended it.
Especially m Spring I, where every class seat was in demand,
this practive symbolized waste and, worse, it's unfair.

Application For BSD Due July 3 1
The University of West Florida is requesting
assistance in dispensing information concerning
the availability of the Black Student Union
Scholarship for 1975-76 academic year. The Black
Student Union Scholarship Application deadline
is July 31, 1975.
1. The BSU Scholarship is S720 per academic
year ($240 per quarter).
2. Any award covers an academic year and is
renewable provided the recipient continues to
qualify.
3. Funds are disbursed quarterly.
4. Students must submit a UWF General
Financial Aid Application and demonstrate need
through an approved financial statement.
5. Three letters of recommendation are
required.
6. The students must also be a Black from the
south.
Brochures describing the BSU Scholarship are
available in the Financial Aids Office - AD-2.
BEOG Grants Still Open
Students who are depending on the BEOG
money to prevent cancellation of their fall term
sciiedule on July 7th, must bring their BEOG
SER and their class schedule to the financial aids
office (AD-2) before July 7th.
The payment schedule for the fall term BEOG
Grants is not finalized as of now, but is expected
to closely parallel last year's. Student eligibility
for the coming academic year has been extended
to three-quarter and half-time students. This is
one reason why there has been a delay in
determining the payment schedule.
Students who have not applied for a BEOG
Grant may still do so.

Galleon
Redesigned;
V5 Ed ''Unique"
By BRUCE MOORE
News Editor
The Galleon is gone.
That's the latest word from yearbook advisor
>-^is .^rant, who indicated to the Beachcomber
Jit rteek a series of major changes, including a
:j(ne change, are in store for JC's college
,:itbook.
According to Arant, the 1974-1975 edition of
^.e yearbook, yet unnamed, should be ready for
fiimbution late in the Spring II semester.
The yearbook staff intends to drop such
•raditional items as teacher pictures,
iepartmental highlights and academic news.
"We vt'ill stick to student involved things
'liher than just their education," commented
'jam. The advisor also noted that individual
i'udent pictures, previously planned for the
;titbook, are not to be included due to the few
r.udents that took advantage of the opportunity.
less than 50 student pictures were taken
fating the winter terra and Arant lamented, "I
!3i in the yearbook office several days but there
iis just no demand for student pictures.
"A good percentage of students wouldn't let
iiStake their pictures at all," he said concerning
Galleon efforts to snap photos of JC students in
Lie cafeteria.
Change that led to the demise of the Galleon
began in mid-February when Student
feemnient conducted a straw ballot which
isked students various questions, including one
solving the continuation of the Galleon.
By a 173-113 margin, students favored
B.ntinuation of the Galleon though a yearbook
representative on the Student Activity Fee
Committee, Marilyn Gabezas, indicated at the
time that changes in the structure still might be
made.
By approving changes previously mentioned in
the makeup of the yearbook the Fee Committee
was able to slice the 1975-1976 yearbook budget
from 13 to six percent of the student budget.
With work still continuing on the current
yearbook the staff decided to go ahead and
incorporate next year's proposed changes into
this year's yearbook.
These rapid changes in plans let to the
dropping of the "Galleon" title. "We haven't
gotten a consensus on a new name yet," laughed
Arant, who added that the changes being
planned are not unusual.
"Hundreds of colleges have done about the
same thing. The traditional yearbook is a thing of
the past at most schools."
Another reason for beginning the changes a
year ahead of time if the saving of approximately
half of the current budget, money which is to be
used for the purchase of a computerized
typesetting machine.
Cost of a typesetting machine is about $15,000
and with the money saved this year along with
Galleon funds accumulated over past years Arant
feels the equipment could be bought "within one
to two year.
"Depending on how interested Student
Government is we could even get it sooner," the
advisor explained.
Arant also mentioned the possibility of other
publications on campus, including the
Beachcomber and Media, JC's literary magazine,
also benefiting from use of the typesetter.
JC Budget Snags
in Legislature
JC's '75-'76 budget, approved in May, was snagged by the
Conference Committee of the Legislature which recommended to
the Governor that no salary increases or annual increments be
paid to JC teachers.
Inthier recommendation of community college appropriations,
jjie committee stated:
"provided, however, that no employee shall receive a merit
[jjcrease or any other salai^ adjustment except in the case of a
promotion; provided, that the department of administration may
jppfove salary adjustments upon request of the department of
education under emergency circumstances."
^t the present moment the District Board of Trustees will have
no other alternative but to modify its budget in accordance with
legislative mandate.
lite administrators of community colleges from, all over
pjoiida have responded vehemently.
Some teacher organizations have discussed the possibility of a
court suit to determine the legality of the provision. There has
gjjo been some discussion regarding a possible gubernatorial
veto-
'fjowever, it was clear that the legislative intent was to show
.^^ community college personnel next year should be
jjnbursed at the same level as this past year.
m general , however, the intent was that there will be no salary
. ^easesof any kind.

SG Advisor Robert Moss
Opt in) ism
Moss's
Outlook
From page 1
Moss said the awards are "not designed to
compensate, just to be a token of appreciation."
The SG advisor intends to strongly- urge the
jBxecutives of SG to "clearly identify before the
twA the conditions jmd dollar -^amounts" for
various honorariums.
"We must establish in the beginning what
amounts should be and what you have to do to get
it," said Moss, who disagreed with the system
whereby honorariums are voted on at the end of a
semester. _ „
"Even if done in the best of faith you leave
yourself open to criticism," he added.
Summing up the problems of the past year
when communications between-SG and the press
were tangled, the advisor called the situation
"kid stuff" and blamed an "I can do it better
than you can" attitude.
However,' Moss is "optimistic" concerning the
coming school year and proclaimed, "If all of the
students had as much interest as the current
executive board, we'd have a much better
Student Government.".
Moss also is not optimistic concerning SG's
chances of filling the organizations' 61 positions.
"We'll get about the same interest as in the
past," he said.
"It has nothing to do with the intent of the
executive board. It's a problem with government
in general. Until something affects them directly,
people won 't get involved. ' '
On honorariums, an issue that often led to
dissention within SG's ranks in the past year.

Getting Out Of Hand
BETH SLATERY PHOTO
By FLICK AAAGER
Looking Back Is On Right Track
Do you yeam for the days of
your grandfather? Are you
stricken with Bicentennial
fever? Does watching the
Waltons fill you with desire for
the good old days before you
were bom'O
Almost everybody seems to
be afflicted with a weird disease
known as Nostalgia. Its
symptoms include an itch to own
anything old, outworn, or
rumored to have been slept in
by George Washington. Victims
of more advanced cases have
written thousands of articles
concerning the purity and
decency of Revolutionary War
/
days, the Victorian period, the
1930's. The worst cases of this
disease appear to exist in the
government, where they're
jockeying for a rerun of the
Great Depression.
■ Every town has its comple-
ment of antique shops and
secondhand stores, and, they are
all doing good business. Still, if
all the spinning wheels,
brass-rail bedsteads and chine
commodes for sale are of
genuinely colonial make, the
original colonists would have
had to have spent every spare
minute producing them. They
wouldn't have had time for a
revolution.
Every department store is
filled with imitation-oak, eag-
le-encrested towels, dinner
plates, wastebaskets and show-
er curtains. Patchwork quilt
toilet seats and Victorian-style
waterbeds are hot items.
(Not to mention the popularity
of the Waltons, a family whose
total income of about thirty
cents a week does not prevent
them from having brotherliness,
a large house, plenty of food and
a horde of good old-fashioned
brats.)
Come to think of it, those
people collecting old coal
stoves, oil lamps and buggy
whips may be on the right track.
They must know something
about the energy situation that
other people haven't found out.
It won't be long oeiore the
modern home will not be
complete without cleverly old-
style inconveniences. The kit-
chen will contain a hand-hewn
oak refrigerator and rugged
split-rail dishwasher. A gaso-
line-powered horse-and buggy
will occupy the garage. Clothes
will be scrubbed on an
automatic washboard (the
deluxe model features a plastic
washerwoman). The family will
watch silent movies on a
padded, horsehair-stuffed, tas-
seled TV set in a living room lit
dimly by electric lamps
guaranteed to flicker and give
off black smoke. Time will be
kept by an electronic digital
sundial. And the bathroom will
be an exact replica of an
outhouse, complete with half-
moon and a Sears and Roebuef!
catalog.
Climate Control Chaotic
There you sit, trying not to
move. That glacial feeling has
overcome you once more,
leaving you motionless on your
treacherous perch. Too frozen
atid lightened to budge, lest its
cruel, gripping components
penetrate your spine, you
wonder how much longer you
can stand the agony. Only
twenty minutes left.
You eye the hourglass
suspiciously - is it in need of
repair or is time really standing
still? But alas, the hands have
reached their designated station
and you are Free, Free, Freel
How did you ever get caught
in such a precarious situation?
Were you attacked by Eskimos,
given the third degree, or
kidnapped by the Good Humor
man and held captive in his
Icecream-mobile? Unfortunate-
ly, neither. It's the startling
realization of Sprin I classes.
For those of you who think
summer sessions are not that
bad. YOU'RE WRONG!
"Books! 'tis a dull and
endless strife.. .come forth
Into the life of things, let
Nature be your teacher." -
William Wordsworth 1798
The concept sounds delici-
ously inviting at first - only six
weeks for a whole semester's
worth of credit - but the horrors
become evident all too soon.
in the windowless classrooms of
the BA building.
Things start to look up a bit on
Tuesday as the SS Aircontrol
pulls into a Caribbean port.
For those of you who think
summer sessions aren't oil
that bad YOU'RE WRONG I
A personal survey revealed
two major factors which
contribute to antipathy: climate
and seating.
A week of summer school is
comparable to a global tour.
JC's air conditioning system is
turned off on weekends and as a
result, Monday mornmg stu-
dents find themselves in
Tanzania being pressure cooked
whose balmy breezes entice the
travelers to close their eyes and
dream of better things.
Wednesdays express excursion
rounds the_ tip of Greenland,
depositing frost in your
literature book, and by
Thursday the North Pole has
frozen your flip-flops and the
concrete ink in your pen no
longer writes first time, every
time-.
Inevitably, the last day of the
week is spent at a beach in your
home port unthawing from your
chilling experience. TGIF!
Perhaps this is a bit of an
exaggeration. According to
Edward Cassidy of the Physical
Plant, "We can't satisfy
everyone."
According to Cassidy, "The
air conditioning system is run 24
hours a day, except on
weekends. As a result, it takes
awhile to cool off the entire
campus on Monday mornings."
Thermostatic control, he
added, is determined by the
outside temperature, with 74
degrees being normal.
"But then, there is no set
temperature that we go by, so
while one person complains of
the cold, someone else says he's
sweating to death . "
The second horror of summer
sessions is seating. What does
American Seating have against
students anyway? After sitting
in the same place for two hours,
it sometimes takes you awhile to
unwind and be able to move
again. It seems just as easy to
buy a comfortable chair than it
does to purchase a punishing
perch. Either it's piercing your
spine, grinding your knees on
the desktop, or contorting yont
body into an unrecognizable
jumble. But then, this isn't a
luxury condominium, it it?
Whether you be sweltering,
shivering, or convalescing from
a back injury, there is one
consolation - JC uses squeez-
ably-soft Charmin bathroom
tissues.
