Varied activities to liigliliglit 
Armstrong's Homecoming Week 



by Dick Sanders 

Once again homecoming is 
upon us with all of its festive 
c^ality. The week of February 
18-24 has been set aside for 
the annual activities. 

The homecoming activities 
are actually kicked off at the 
yeariy Student- Faculty basket- 
ball game tonight (The stu- 
dents captured the first victory 
last year, 41—40 in an explo-

Ashmore ejected from the game

class. Student Coach Pat King, 
a senior, hopes to retire from 
his coadiing position with a 
2-0 mark.) The Students will 
lack a great deal of depth this 
year since they are fielding 
only eight players. King 
mentioned something about 
quality over quantity— the

President Ashmore delivers 
"State of College Address" 



by Sue jaye Punzel 

"Tiiere is every reason- 
able expectation that Ann- 
''rong will be accredited" 

cording to Dr. Henry L. 

hmore, president of Ann- 

ong State College. Address- 
ing members of the student 
body at a convocation Feb. 12, 
Ashmore gave what was 
' hbed his <*State of the Col- 

4e Address.*' 

Ashmore was introduced by 
Dr. James Rogers, Dean of 
Student Affairs, who announc- 
that the convocation was to 
ilitate communications by 
owing firsthand answers to 
^-stions of particular interest. 
D« scussin g accreditation , 
Ashmore recounted the various 
stages through which a college 
^ 'St pass before accreditation

\n^^ homecoming dance, 
"c^udmg the crowning of the 
•"ecoming queen, has become 
'»on at Armstrong. The 
'es will last until 1:00 



Friday 



the final committee of the 
Southern Association of Schools 
and Colleges will visit the 
campus to make its evaluation 
of the college. Should Arm- 
strong be approved in Decem- 
ber (as can be expected), the 
college will have received 
accreditation in the shortest 
time possible. 

Following this general ac- 
creditation by the Southern 
Association, Dr. Ashmore an- 
nounced that the college 
would actively seek profession- 
al accreditation. At present 
the nursing program has re- 
ceived tentative j accreditation 
nationally. 

"Growth creates real prob- 
lems," the Armstrong President 
continued because '*in many 
situations there is no right or 
wrong/' Ashmore said that 
decisions, therefore, must be 
made which are best for the 
institution and for the greatest 
number of students. 

The President discussed a 
number of issues of general 
interest including the reason 
for the delay in construction of 
the new Student Center, the 
plans for the fountain, and the 
development of the physical 
plant and grounds. 

Ashmore also commented 
that Armstrong is "almost a 
leader in the state'* in terms 
of student participation in 
college government. The 
faculty recently has examined 
areas where student participa- 
tion would be valuable. 

Following the address, he 
answered questions posed by 
the students concerning dorm- 
itories, graduation, and the 
future plans for an auditorium. 



Students and faculty collide 
in season's classic mismatch 



The 1968 student- faculty 
basketball game will be to- 
night, February 2Z in the 
Armstrong gymnasium. The 
contest is shaping up to be a 
real grudge match, with ten- 
sion mnning high among 
supporters of both teams. 
Students are hoping for another 
victory, and the faculty coach, 
Dr. Osmos Lanier, has circu- 
lated a propaganda sheet 
calling for faculty unity and 
accusing last year's student 
team of various atrocities. 

The student team, which 
will be led by pla>er-coach 
Pat King, will feature Tom 
Kelly, Artie Gallaher, Johnny 
Mamalakis, Malcolm Rich, 
Richie Kelleher, Carly Smith, 
Larry Thompson, and Millard 
Qark. Faculty members will 
be Coach Bob Backus, Coach 
Larry Tapp, Coach Bill 
Alexander, Dr. Roy Carroll, 
Mr, Dale Price, Dr. Cedric 
Stratton, Mr. John Duncan, Mr. 
Robert Patterson, Dr. Henry 
Ashmore, Dr. Robert Strozier, 
Mr. Bemard Com ask ey, and 
Dr. James Rogers. 



The student- faculty game 
promises to be an exciting 
highlight to the homecoming 
activities. Each team will be 
supported by a squad of 
cheerleaders; an entertaining 
half-time show has been plan- 
ned. 



bench. 

Friday night will feature a 
dance and Saturday afternoon a 
parade before the festivities 
begin to culminate with a 
smorgasbord in (he Student 
Center (5:30-7:15) and the 
varsity basketball game 
against Georgia Southwestern 
at 8 P.M. in the Pirate gym. 

The Pirates, sporting a 
5-19 mark at press time with 
3 games left before the home- 
coming contest, could con- 
ceivably enter the final game 
with an 8-19 over- all record 
and a 5—6 conference record. 
Georgia Southwestern defeated 
the Bucs in Americus by some 
16 points last November but 
one can never tell about the 
ASC squad Billed as a 
**spoiler" from the outset of 
the season, Armstrong's small- 
er five have handed defeats to 
conference leader LaGrange 
and to highly favored Savannah 
State College. 

All in all, it looks to be a 
festive and ftin-filled three 
days that go into homecoming. 
Several individual trophies 
will be distributed at the 
varsity game on Saturday. The 
smargasbord is something new 
that Mr. Tom Nease thou^t up 
for the students for $1.50 per 
person (a very reasonable 
price!), one can eat as much 
as he desires from a very wide 
choice of foods. 



Faculty approves policy 
for organization housing 



A statement of policy con- 
cerning student off- campus 
meeting houses, specifically 
drafted regarding the housing 
of fraternities and sororities, 
was passed by the faculty at 
the faculty meeting of February 
6. The resolution is the result 
of research conducted during 
the fall quarter by the Student 
Activities Committee, acting 
in an advisory capacity. Dr. 
Francis Thome of the commit- 
tee submitted its recommenda- 
tions during the closing 
weeks of the fall quarter, and 
since then the draft has been 
before the faculty for study. 

The accepted statement of 



Shrubbery planned to 
end student shortcuts 



Mr. Richard Baker, Arm- 
strong State grounds super- 
intendent, said that thus far 
$3,100.00 have been spent on 
the landscaping. The money 
for the landscaping is coming 
from the sale of the buildings 
on the old campus. 

When asked about the 
walks that circumnaviagte to 
the various buildings, Baker 
said that if the walks were 
layed out according to desires 
of the students, they would 
look chaotic from the air. 
The planned walks, tfierefore, 
unify the campus. 

The landscaping proper is 
still in its infancy. The im- 
mediate plans call for 1500 
additional trees. There are 
plans to place trees in the 
parking lot to destroy the 
appearance of a landing field. 

Baker went on to say that 
the addition of cercis trees on 
either side of the student 
center would remove the threat 
of students trampling through 
the new shrubs. Baker said 



that although not wanting to 
place concrete posts and 
chains beside the approaches 
to the classroom and science 
buildings, he felt the only way 
to save the shmbs was to 
barn cade them from the stu- 
dents. 



policy ^'recognizes college 
students as responsible citi- 
zens. . .and as respected re- 
presentatives of the college.'' 
The document said that the 
students will be expected to 
behave according to the laws 
of nation, state, and commun- 
ity, and that any action which 
might cause embarrassment to 
the College will, of course, 
cause the College to be an 
interested party. In order to 
insure that the good reputation 
of the College shall not be 
seriously compromised, certain 
provisions exist in the pro- 
clamation. For instance, 
hazing is prohibited; the faculty 
sponsor or other approved 
adult must be on the premises 
at all meetings and social 
functions, and an updated 
copy of feill house rules must 
be submitted to the Student 
Activities Committee. Con- 
cerning financial responsibil- 
ity, *'an applicant organization 
must demonstrate financial 
competence to meet the re- 
current obligations of main- 
taining the premises they 
occupy." 




Students continue to ignore the sidewalks.

A survey of the student

that the layout of sidewalks

was: 

'^Walking between the pave-

between classes.** Only a few 
faculty members have been

When asked why, one of these

Of the many alternatives 
available, the United States 
chose a policy of restraint in 
reacting to the recent Pueblo 
incident. But what might have 
happened had not cooler heads 
prevailed? The Inkwell com- 
puter found a probnbility for 
the following senes of events: 
January 24: After consulta- 
tion with legal advisers, the 
governor of Alabama declared 
th;it a state of war existed be- 
tween Red China and the 
Soverei©! JState cof Alabama. 
Due to the se»i<nisness of the 
occasion, a state- wide ban on 
dancing was announced. 

Jcinuarv 25: In a strongly 
worded statement (**Cool it!*') 
the State Department pointed 
out that a state's declaration 
of war was forbidden bv the 
Constitution 

January 26: The top aide of 
the Alabama governor denounc- 
ed the authors of the Constitu- 
tion us a bunch of **pseudo- 
intel lectuals." 

January 27: Anticipating 
Chinese na\al activit\ in the 
Gulf of Mexico, the Montgomeiy 
War office issued a call for a 
watchdog committee of a hund- 
red thousand citizens. The 
volunteers were to patrol 
Alabama's sixty- mile coastline 

January 28: The national 
»d;ovomment seemed completely 
divided. Hawks demanding that 



Alabama abide by the Constitu- 
tion, advocated mining Mobile 
harbor despite the presence of 
foreign ships. 

January 29: In a brilliant 
political gambit calculated to 
confuse the U.S. even more, 
China offered to surrender to 
Alabama. 

January 30: A contingent of 
state troopers arrived in Pek- 
ing just as a mistake in a 
Chinese atomic test wiped out 
the entire Communist Party. 

January 31: Under great 
pressure from government of- 
ficials eager to keep China in 
American hands, tl-ie Supreme 
Court mled on the Alabama 
case. Since the U.S. had never 
recognized Communist China, 
said the Court, China did not 
exist, so that Alabama had 
broken no law in declaring war 
and could govern China just 
as she gpverned Selma or 
Binningham. 

February 1: ''Impeach Earl 
Warren'* signs sprang up in 
China.

my reason for walking on 
th e gras s. ' ' 

The newly planted shrubs are 
yet to suffer from this student 
attitude, but die beds them- 
selves are firrnlv packed by 
the heel: shortcuvters. 
Several studcni^. have suggest- 
ted that Spanish bayDnets and 
cudzue by planted among the 
other plants as a means of 
protecting them. If diis is 
done, the students feel the 
shrubbery will *'hold its own. " 

As concerning the choice 
of plants, the students inter- 
viewed were generally unhappy 
with the * 'hodge-podge U'hen 
asked what plants they did 
like, the students mainly 
favored the low- lying full 
shrubs and ivy. 

Concern was expressed by 
several students that Arm- 
strong could ill afford to spend 
large sums of money on beauti- 
fication. One student accused 
the college of ''crying out for 
accreditation while spending 
money on useless foil age. " 
"Beau tifi cation,** said the 
student, "could come later. 
The sad landscaping and side- 
walk layout only point out the 
Dutch red bams with pillars."* 



Sean O'Casey's Juno and 
the Paycock will be presented 
tonight, Friday, and Saturday 
at 8:00 p.m. in the Jenkin 
Auditorium. 

The play, by one of I 
land's greatest playwrights, 
set in tlie tumioil following the 
establishment of the Irish Free 
State. Ireland had long stnig- 
gled for independence, but the 
violence of the Easter Uprising 
in 1916 led to a limited form of 
independence within the 
British Empire. Many of the 
Irish, however, were not satis- 
fied with this Free State - 
they wanted complete inde- 
pendence. As a result, bitter 
civil strife broke out among the 
Irish as Free- Stater fought Die- 
hard, and brother kill ed brother. 

Within this atmosphere of 
terror, hate, and grandiloquent 
gestures of bravery. Sean 
O' Casey developed some of the 
most memorable characters in 
modem drama, and produced a 
play that is a unique blend of 
comedy ^nd tragedy. Juno and 
the Paycock is not just a funny 
play or a sad play, but a bril- 
liant testimony to the stupidity 
of man and the ultimate glory 
i>l -nankind 

Juno and the Paycock is a 
play which should not 
missed.
