Introduction 


INTRODUCTION 

The  history  of  the  students  of  the  Junior  College  of  Broward  County  to  1968,  Broward  Junior 
College  to  1975,  and  Broward  Community  College  to  1998  provides  a  diversified  kaleidoscope  of 
ideas,  thoughts  and  views  of  the  students  and  how  they  interacted  with  concerned  faculty, 
support  staff  and  administrators  who  provided  direction  and  leadership.  The  perspectives  and 
interpretations  of  how  the  students  dealt  with  their  campus  life,  student  organizations  and 
personnel  needs.  There  was  never  a  moment  when  the  students  failed  to  comprehend,  analyze 
and  express  themselves. 

The  life  of  the  students  as  it  changed  from  the  1960's  to  1998  reflects  everything  from  national 
issues  to  local  advertising.  Each  decade  had  its  own  high  and  low  points,  but  in  each  case  the 
students  tried  various  opinions  on  the  public  and  their  peers.  The  alternatives  were  fascinating  as 
the  institution  provided  a  laboratory  experiment  to  allow  the  students  to  try  different  methods. 
Their  approaches  are  worth  studying  as  the  students  changed  the  life  of  the  students  to  meet 
daily  needs  and  societal  factors. 

The  critical  thinking  that  the  students  exhibited  proved  they  were  in  partnership  with  the  college  to 
accomplish  more  than  academics,  athletics,  cultural  diversity  and  social  development.  Their 
changing  perspectives  ranged  from  "sharing  and  caring"  to  asking  "what  is  in  it  for  me?"  Their 
social  and  community  welfare  efforts  highlighted  each  decade,  the  difference  was  the  delivery 
systems. 

The  Junior  College  of  Broward  College  was  linked  with  the  Broward  County  School  Board. 
Broward  Junior  College  created  a  variety  of  sources  for  college  parallel,  professional  or  technical 
development.  Then  Broward  Community  College  showed  everything  from  life  rings  of  retention  to 
the  flexibility  necessary  for  future  burdens  or  opportunities.    The  institution  has  provided  a  true 


traffic  control  center  for  Broward  County  to  suit  needs  from  Camp  BCC  pre  teens  to  the  Speakers 
Bureau  seminars  in  retirement  condominiums. 

The  leadership  demonstrated  by  the  various  administrations  established  directions  in  each 
decade.  The  conceptualization  of  everything  from  new  programs  to  remedial  assistance  served 
the  community  with  a  wide  range  of  options.  All  of  these  different  approaches  were  vital  to  meet 
a  very  different  environment  as  Broward  County  moved  demographically  and  required  economic 
concerns  as  change  occurred. 


The  multi  campus  institution  provided  a  quasi  home  for  many  underprepared  traditional  high 
school  students  to  returning  traumatized  adult  learners  seeking  both  training  and  employment. 
The  advisement  and  counseling  aspects  could  be  found  from  Students  Affairs  to  minority 
mentoring.  The  warmth  experienced  by  those  students  gave  them  a  comfort  zone,  a  campus 
home  despite  the  commuter  image.  It  was  the  administrator,  faculty  or  staff  as  individuals  who 
made  retention  far  more  personable. 

The  international  flavor  where  travel  abroad  or  influx  of  students  from  over  150  nations  made 
Broward  Community  College,  the  place  to  be.  Never  were  so  many  countries  attracted  to  a  2 
year  institution.  There  was  also  ethnicity  constructed  in  the  fiber  of  our  college  that  allowed 
"cultural  diversity"  to  infiltrate  every  aspect  and  level.  The  best  part  of  this  collection  is  the 
students,  faculty,  staff  and  administration.  Their  ideas,  plans  and  work  are  highlighted  in  16 
topics  in  a  chronological  manner.  By  no  means  is  this  a  total  or  complete  collection.  The  interest 
was  to  enlighten  the  points  that  made  the  institution  change  while  affording  all  participants  past, 
present,  and  in  the  future  to  add  additional  components.  This  is  a  living  narrative  of  where  we 
were  why  we  needed  to  change,  and  how  we  managed  to  take  advantage  of  so  many 
opportunities. 


There  are  almost  83  volumes  of  student  newspapers,  yearbooks  and  scrapbooks  that  provided 
this  manuscript  with  the  detailed  highlights.  These  will  be  stored  in  the  Broward  Community 
College  Central  Campus  Library  as  the  basis  for  archival  history.  It  will  never  end  as  the  story 
lives  with  the  arrival  of  every  new  student,  the  activity  of  every  campus  event,  and  the 
achievements  of  each  organizations  or  college  program.  A 

This  is  a  chronological  index  to  campus  life,  student  organizations  and  the  results.  Whether 
positive  or  negative  the  results  have  caused  change.  In  the  decades  that  have  passed  the 
foundation  of  our  institution  has  always  been  the  people  involved.  Now  records  of  their 
challenges  to  accomplishments  will  allow  those  who  follow  to  build  on  what  we  did.

It  required  almost  19  months  to  acquire  the  various  materials  donated  to  Broward  Community 
College.  From  newspapers  to  individual  organization  scrapbooks,  the  various  offices  and 
individuals  who  assisted  in  this  project  were  tremendous  in  their  efforts  to  contribute  to  our 
history. 

All  three  campuses  newspaper  offices  were  the  starting  point  during  the  summer  of  1996.  Jerry 
Elam  was  the  key  figure  for  the  overall  consolidated  newspaper  collection.  His  student  editors 
continue  in  his  very  large  footsteps.  Ann  Chishom  his  administrative  assistant  provided  so  much 
detail  from  Polaris  files  on  North  Campus.  Pat  Ellingham  assisted  with  the  efforts  to  revive  New 
Horizons  from  South  Campus.  Max  Hall's  foresight  in  the  late  1970's  provided  me  with  Venetian 
Crier  to  Phoenix  materials  of  the  1960's  and  1970's.  So,  the  fourth  estate  provided  over  26 
volumes  of  extremely  valuable  student  perspectives  in  the  writing  of  the  decades. 

Next  came  the  three  campus  Student  Activities  Offices.  Here  was  everything  from  Orientation 
flyers  to  F-Troop  scrapbooks.  The  most  valuable  collection  were  the  21  display  books  located  in 
a  sealed  room  in  Central  Campus,  Building  11  that  contained  the  only  copies  of  1960's  and 
1970's  copies  of  Intramural  Handbooks,  Student  Survival  Guides,  Movie  Brochures,  Orientation 
detailed  maps  and  systems  of  campus  programs,  and  those  materials  that  were  presented  to 
students  for  19  years  of  Student  Life  programming.  Former  F-Troop  Captain  and  current 
Hollywood  elementary  school  teacher  Mary  Waters  had  to  refurbish  several  due  to  climate 
damage.  Student  Life  Administrative  Assistant  Eleanor  Myers  was  especially  helpful  in  the 
identification  of  many  archival  works. 

Former  Broward  Junior  College  graduate  Penny  Mclsaacs  who  served  Student  Activities  for  12 
years  on  all  3  campus  location  as  well  as  program  director  of  Camp  BCC  had  been  a  very  active 
member  of  BJC  Greek  system  and  Intramurals  donated  many  books,  banners -and  memorabilia. 


Currently,  Penny  Mclsaacs  serves  BCC  as  the  Director  of  Collegewide  Student  Program  and 
Services.  She  will  be  in  charge  of  the  materials  and  how  they  can  be  utilized  to  show  the  current 
college  family  what  occurred  so  the  future  will  be  better  for  all  who  come  to  Broward  Community 
College. 

As  to  the  manuscript  the  typing,  revisions  and  development  would  not  have  been  possible  without 
the  assistance  of  Leith  Mazzochi  who  serves  as  the  secretary  for  Central  Campus  Social 
Sciences.  The  work  of  the  organization  was  on  going  for  18  months  and  Leith  donated  hundreds 
of  hours  to  this  cause. 

It  was  the  students  in  the  quest  to  acquire  an  education  that  really  provided  the  thoughts,  words 
and  decades  that  inspired  this  collection.  Without  their  constant  presence,  efforts  to  be  all  they 
culd  be,  and  the  challenges  that  they  provided  to  the  faculty,  staff  or  administration  there  would 
be  no  History  of  the  Perspectives  of  Students  at  the  Junior  College  of  Broward  Conty  or  Broward 
Community  College,  1960  to  1998. 

This  book  is  dedicated  to  all  those  faculty  members,  support  staff  and  college  administrators  who 
donated  the  countless  hours  of  volunteer  time  and  personal  resources  to  give  our  students  every 
chance.

PROBLEMS  (Challenges) 

BJC  Race  Relations  according  to  student,  Robert  Jackson  had  Negro  students  feeling  unease  in  all  white 
classes  for  first  time.  The  fact  that  50%  of  Negroes  preferred  BJC  over  all  Negro  colleges  did  not  stop  Negroes 
from  sitting  together  as  only  3%  of  population  at  JCBC. 

Rick  Barnard  felt  there  was  a  lack  of  friction  for  the  campus  was  not  affected  by  socio-economic  upheavals  or 
crusades. 

Student  Julie  Poole  regarded  the  overcrowded  parking  a  factor  that  would  bring  approval  of  the  President's 
Council  on  Physical  Fitness  because  of  daily  hikes.  Julius  Debroski,  the  campus  policeman  said  many  parking 
problems  can  be  solved  with  student  cooperation  as  300  spaces  in  west  parking  lot  were  never  used  for 
students  would  rather  park  in  violation  than  park  in  the  back.  The  parking  situation  is  a  case  study  in  confusion. 
The  safety  hazards  were  the  walking  students  and  numerous  holes.  A  "Rough  Road  Ahead"  was  suppose  to 
apply  to  the  class  work  at  a  college,  not  the  school  parking  lot.  Parking  tickets  were  responded  to  at  the 
business  office  in  48  hours  and  most  $5.00  fines  were  dismissed  with  a  warning.  The  automatic  fines  were 
given  for  no  decal,  speeding,  driving  on  walkway  or  reckless  driving. 

Chris  Murphy,  a  student,  stated  that  beauty  was  reflected  in  many  things,  but  not  by  the  appearance  of  our 
campus.  The  wind  blows  and  the  sand  becomes  a  torment  to  everyone.  All  the  buildings  with  the  exception  of 
the  Administration  Building  were  eye  sores.  JCBC  reluctance  to  pay  for  landscaping  as  current  landscaping 
costs  must  come  from  profits  from  the  book  store  and  student  center  vending  machines  according  to  Dr.  Harvey 
Oates,  Dean  of  Administration.  Any  club  or  organization  that  wanted  to  donate  trees  or  shrubs  should  see  Mr. 
Neil  Crispo. 

Jeanne  Cooney,  Vice  Chairman  of  Young  Republicans  supported  SGA  Candidates,  Greene  and  Swanson  for 
officers  to  led  the  SGA.  Cooney  criticized  the  newspaper  Venetian  Crier  for  their  criticisms  of  candidates  so  the 
paper  should  never  complain  again  of  dissention  and  the  ineffectiveness  of  the  SGA. 


January  28,  1966 

Ann  Bardsley,  Venetian  Crier  Cartoonist  described  the  Registration  Game,  an  adult  game  of  self  restraint. 

September  23,  1966 

Lack  of  care  for  the  "Student  Pit"  (cafeteria)  with  its  lack  of  chairs  and  tables  created-rnany  problems  as 
well  as  the  price  of  ice-cream. 

Dr.  Jack  Taylor  is  proposing  "wait  and  see"  as  the  Quarter  Semester  was  proposed  for  all  State  Universities 
that  were  on  the  system  while  the  community  colleges  were  on  Trimester.  Acting  President  Taylor  believed 
the  longer  the  learning  period  the  better  the  retention  ability,  so  this  concept  goes  to  School  Board  of 
Broward  County. 

October  6,  1966 

Student  parking  spaces  numbered  1 ,800  for  almost  5,000  students  while  the  350  faculty  members  had  348 
spaces. 

October  14, 1966 

Admission  released  population  statistics  that  showed  at  the  start  of  year:  2,838  students  with  993  for  an 
Associate  of  Art,  825  for  an  Associate  of  Science  and  356  for  specific  certificate  programs. 

November  18, 1966 

Junior  collegians  are  poorly  prepared  as  junior  colleges  are  just  too  easy  as  students  need  a  year  of 
growing  up  and  should  complete  this  hurdle  as  soon  as  possible.  The  junior  college  instructors  teaches 
down  to  his  students,  grades  on  a  "curve",  and  are  spoon  feeding  rather  than  the  proper  rate  of  teaching 
speed  and  level. 

January  20,  1967 

The  library  needs  to  add  400  to  500  books  a  month  to  obtain  their  goal  of  50,000  books,  but  Grady  Drake, 
Director  of  Library  Services,  states  there  is  a  grave  and  crucial  situation  on  available  shelving.  Books  now 
numbered  26,000  which  is  half  of  what  is  required  for  JCBC  collegiate  usage.

Post  game  dance  attended  by  only  six  students  which  meant  cost  of  $16.33  per  person  for  band  Reasons 
played  for  only  45  minutes. 

Alan  Rent  wrote  about  PIT  (Student  Center)  as  a  retaliation  weapon  for  editors  of  Crier,  Silver  Sands  and 
Community  College  Calling  were  saying  nasty  and  wicked  things  about  their  food.  The  retaliation  included 
an  obstacle  course  of  garbage  cans  to  spread  germs  as  they  were  unsanitary. 

January  27,  1967 

The  "Road  to  Wisdom"  better  known  as  State  Road  84  which  handles  more  than  half  of  the  JCBC 
population  has  been  scene  of  numerous  accidents  and  needs  to  be  four  lanes  for  safety. 

March  3,  1967

ATHLETICS,  INTERCOLLEGIATE  ATHLETICS 

The  Junior  College  of  Broward  County  developed  an  Athletic  Program  at  Stranahan  High  School  in  the  early 
1960's  in  both  basketball  and  baseball,  not  exactly  gender  equity  but  a  woman's  golf  and  tennis  team  was  added 
to  offset  the  existing  men's  teams.  It  took  a  great  deal  of  effort  to  get  the  School  Board  to  approve  Intercollegiate 
Athletics  with  the  original  intention  that  only  Broward  County  students  would  be  taken  as  athletes  at  JCBC. 

1960  to  1963  was  a  difficult  time  to  secure  coaches  for  JCBC  athletic  programs.  High  school  coaches  had  to  take 
pay  cuts  to  approximately  .35  cents  an  hour  to  take  over  these  duties  of  JCBC  coaches.  The  junior  college  went 
to  junior  high  schools  for  the  staff.  Rex  Brumley  and  R.L.  Landers  and  other  early  coaches  secured  to  start  an 
intercollegiate  program  at  JCBC.  Harry  Cruz,  the  Stranahan  High  School  Athletic  Director,  was  the  most 
beneficial  factor  for  the  first  five  years  of  athletics  at  the  JCBC  providing  both  practice  time,  game  time,  and 
facilities  to  be  shared  with  his  high  school  teams. 

The  search  for  coaches  continued  with  the  first  major  coach  to  change  from  Fort  Lauderdale  high  school  to  the 
JCBC  was  Leroy  Wheat  in  1964-65  who  agreed  to  take  over  the  baseball  program  that  was  about  to  move  to  an 
on-campus  field.  Women's  tennis  and  golf  were  already  at  the  school,  but  courts  and  golf  courses  was  used  at 
other  locations  as  the  campus  lacked  those  physical  facilities. 

1965  was  the  best  year  for  JCBC  teams  as  both  the  men's  basketball  and  men's  baseball  made  it  to  the  State 
Junior  College  Tournament.  The  women's  tennis  and  golf  teams  were  nationally  recognized  and  rated.  School 
spirit  had  to  be  greatly  developed  and  pushed  by  administrators,  faculty  members,  the  Venetian  Crier,  Student 
Government,  the  Service  Clubs  and  the  Athletic  staff.  JCBC  students  were  in  a  commuter  mode  for  after  leaving 
campus  they  did  not  to  return  for  any  events  except  for  a  couple  of  large  dances  or  the  Lyceum  concerts  put  on 
every  year. 

Miami  Dade  the  largest  rival  in  JCBC's  history  provided  the  most  excitement.  Indian  River  and  Palm  Beach  didn't 
have  the  same  intenseness.  JCBC  was  used  as  a  door  mat  by  Miami  Dade  teams  in  the  beginning,  as  they 
fielded  far  more  powerful  teams  and  ran  up  scores  to  embarrass  coaches  teams  and  the  college.  This  accounts 


< 


for  the  turnover  in  the  coaches  except  with  the  acquisition  of  Leroy  Wheat  for  Baseball,  Clinton  Morris  for  Men's 
Basketball,  Elaine  Gavigan  for  Women's  Tennis,  and  Jane  Erickson  for  Women's  Golf.  The  JCBC  was  ready  to 
start  an  athletic  program  headed  by  Athletic  Director  Rex  Brumley  and  Assistant  Athletic  Director  Will  Gifford. 
Assisting  in  all  sports  was  R.L.  Landers  who  was  named  assistant  coach  for  everything  from  basketball  to 
women's  golf.  Though  small  in  numbers,  the  Athletic  Department  began  its  rise  by  making  allegiances  with 
different  student  organizations. 

The  Venetian  Crier  gave  the  teams  excellent  support  as  did  the  Silver  Sands  Yearbook.  It  was  the  student  body 
that  needed  the  most  attention  for  when  faculty  members  announced  games  in  classes  people  showed  up 
especially  when  the  faculty  members  made  it  either  mandatory  or  for  credit.  The  problem  with  the  student  body 
was  they  didn't  read.  Most  Community  college  students  were  interested  in  getting  to  the  beach  or  to  their  jobs. 
JCBC  students  lacked  school  pride.  Each  year,  a  school  prep  rally  sponsored  by  the  Student  Government 
Association  featured  a  bon  fire,  the  cheerleaders,  the  team,  a  band,  and  a  follow  up  social  event.  Normally  a 
dance  called  the  School  Pride  Dance  was  held  in  October  or  November  prior  to  the  beginning  of  Men's 
Basketball  seasons  at  the  JCBC. 

In  1965-66,  the  construction  of  Maye  Gymnasium  or  Building  10  on  Central  Campus  improved  the  spirit,  the 
recruiting  and  the  amount  of  participation.  The  coaches  added  an  intramural  athletic  program  that  was  started  by 
Jane  Erickson  and  Wil  Gifford.  This  provided  for  Tuesday  and  Thursday  afternoon  Intramural  Athletics  including 
flag  football,  Softball,  basketball,  volleyball,  badminton  and  archery  held  behind  the  gymnasium  on  a  coral  hard 
field. 

There  was  hope  that  the  promotion  of  Intramurals  would  increase  the  number  of  students  attending  intercollegiate 
events.  The  administration  was  asked  to  help  secure  support  from  the  community  with  advertisement,  but  the 
main  emphasis  was  the  Student  Body  with  only  the  faculty  holding  the  key  to  that  source.  When  the  faculty 
pushed  a  game,  Stranahan's  Gym  was  completely  packed  from  wall  to  wall  and  from  bottom  to  top  with  more 
than  a  thousand  students  watching  a  basketball  game.  When  not,  it  would  be  difficult  to  see  more  than  one 
hundred  people,  counting  the  parents  and  the  players  themselves. 


Student  apathy  is  not  new  at  JCBC  for  the  lackadaisical  approach,  the  student  turnouts,  very  poor  coverage  by 
the  Sun-Sentinel  and  Sun  Tattler  provided  almost  no  real  knowledge  of  what  was  going  on  for  the  then  Venetian 
Crier  came  out  on  a  monthly  basis.  There  was  no  school  marquis,  bulletin  boards,  banners  or  signs  allowed  to  be 
put  up.  The  cheerleaders  did  the  best  they  could.  Dave  Fitzgerald,  Editor  of  the  Venetian  Crier  and  the  first  male 
Cheerleader  on  the  JCBC  cheerleading  squad  put  it  best,  school  spirit  was  lacking  except  for  those  who  showed 
up  for  the  games.  In  his  editorials  in  1966,  he  reminded  everyone  that  less  then  one  percent  of  the  4,500 
students  showed  up  to  take  advantage  of  any  Student  Activities. 

Athletics  in  the  mid-1 960's  added  four  new  sports:  cross-country  with  Will  Gifford,  Women's  Softball,  Men's 
Tennis,  and  Men's  Golf  under  Coach  Bud  Marcy  made  it  look  like  JCBC  was  growing  very  fast.  The  total  budget 
for  Athletics  at  that  time  was  $12,800.00.  The  coaches  salaries  were  paid  by  the  administration.  The  students' 
athletes  insurance  and  scholarships  were  paid  for  by  the  students'  fees  that  were  taken  by  the  administration  out 
of  other  areas.  The  lack  of  a  trainer,  managers,  and  score  keepers  were  overcome  with  a  special  fee  established 
to  pay  for  officiating  that  included  not  just  the  referees  or  umpires,  but  the  score  keepers  and  time  keepers  who 
turned  out  to  be  the  coaches  from  the  other  sports  as  no  one  else  would  take  the  job. 

1969  was  a  good  year,  Greg  "The  Fox"  Samuels  arrived  at  BJC.  The  future  Hall  of  Fame  from  South  Broward 
High  School  was  the  most  exciting  thing  every  to  hit  the  campus.  He  brought  an  extra  100  to  200  people  a  night 
to  watch  the  basketball  games.  Some  nights,  he  scored  only  50  points,  but  was  exciting  to  watch.  He  would  go  on 
to  Florida  State  and  later  become  a  very  excellent  High  School  Coach  at  Hallandale.  The  athletes  at  JCBC  and 
then  BJC  never  really  got  much  publicity  from  the  local  newspapers  and  that  constantly  hurt  the  athletic 
articulation  between  high  schools  and  the  JCBC.  The  high  school  coaches  said,  "Why  go  to  the  JCBC?  You  are 
not  going  to  get  any  exposure."  It  was  something  that  would  hurt  recruitment  in  the  1960's,  1970's,  1980's  and 
1990's  at  the  college.  This  would  be  one  of  the  principal  functions  for  the  downfall  of  Intercollegiate  Athletics. 

The  1970's  brought  in  a  full  range  of  sports  with  eleven  intercollegiate  sports  being  held  on  Central  Campus. 
Inside  and  outside  the  gym.  Getting  a  golf  course  was  the  hardest  thing  but  luckily  one  of  the  golfers  father  was 
the  manager  of  Cooper  Colony  and  allowed  the  golf  program  for  men  and  women  to  have  a  place  to  practice.  We 

were  still  trying  to  develop  other  sports.  The  construction  of  the  Aquatic  Center  would  bring  Men  and  Women 

3 


Swimming  to  the  roster  of  intercollegiate  sports  in  the  1970's.  The  part-time  coaches  were  the  most  difficult  to 
understand  coming  in  at  4:00  p.m.  practice  leaving  at  6:00  p.m.  that  was  the  main  problem  of  the  1970's.  The 
effect  of  this  factor  would  affect  the  student  athletes  academic  success  which  eventually  would  contribute  to  the 
demise  of  Athletics.  Student  athletes  were  not  treated  as  students  first  by  these  part-time  coaches.  The  student 
athletes  academic  study  development  was  not  always  checked.  The  coach  did  his  own  recruiting  and  very  few 
coaches  had  any  assistance.  None  had  managers  and  only  a  part-time  trainer  was  hired  from  the  Sea  Horse  Tip 
Off  Club  that  started  the  1970's. 

The  Sea  Horse  Tip  Off  Club  from  the  ten  apartments  rented  from  Dr.  John  Gaul  in  Davie  to  different  fundraising 
events  in  the  early  1970's  was  the  best  booster  organization  in  the  history  of  JCBC/BJC.  It  proved  that  resources 
were  necessary  to  keep  students  and  was  more  than  just  apartments,  tutors,  or  meal  money.  Actual  meal  money 
was  forbidden  by  NJCAA  Rules,  but  meal  tickets  were  established  with  the  ARA  Food  Service  for  three  meals  a 
day  for  the  student  athletes  up  until  1973.  After  1973,  food  was  cut  back  and  meals  were  reduced  as  students 
thought  it  was  more  important  to  have  books  given  in  place  of  the  meals.  The  mid  1970's  saw  some  great 
success.  Men's  Golf  went  all  the  way  with  four  consecutive  years  our  team  was  in  the  top  five  of  nation  and  even 
won  the  championship.  Men's  golf  under  Bud  Marcy  proved  to  be  a  very  viable  force  for  universities  came  to 
secure  golfers.  One  particular  squad  in  the  1970's  had  four  of  their  golfers  turn  pro  and  BJC  got  a  good  reputation 
for  that.  Coach  Morris  retired  from  Men's  Basketball  so  a  line  of  coaches  from  Randy  Everly  to  Hal  Blitman 
started  until  BJC  became  multi-campus  and  added  other  sports  teams.  In  the  mid  1970's,  the  Men's  Baseball 
team  got  their  first  four  major  leaguers  into  major  league  rosters  and  baseball  at  BJC  became  finally  evident  to 
the  local  newspapers  who  started  to  write  stories  when  BJC  got  students  into  the  major  leagues.  It  was 
extremely  difficult  without  an  Sports  Information  Director  and  with  an  athletic  director  who  used  only  one  finger  to 
hunt  and  peck.  It  was  difficult  to  get  stories  published. 

Scholarships  became  the  major  issue,  coaches  started  asking  for  students  from  outside  Broward  County.  The 

coaches  asked  for  an  increase  in  the  scholarship  funds  to  include  at  least  one  out-of-state  and  two  out-of-county 

athletes  for  each  sport.  This  argument  raged  with  the  administration  which  felt  that  BJC  should  continue  recruiting 

from  local  high  schools.  The  athletic  directors  and  the  coaches  won  the  argument  going  against  the  local  students 

and  started  to  recruit  outside  of  Broward  County  and  outside  the  State  of  Florida.  This  did  not  improve  Athletics' 

4 


( 


! 


position  in  the  county  with  the  high  schools  so  another  failure  by  BJC  Athletics  would  lead  to  very  poor  Broward 
Athletic  relations  for  the  future. 

This  major  problem  caused  us  a  great  deal  of  regret.  BCC  would  see  less  information  given  to  us  by  local  high 
school  coaches.  The  number  of  high  schools  increased  from  3  to  7  to  28  and  yet  BCC  was  never  mentioned  by 
most  of  the  coaches.  The  articulation  for  Athletics  was  a  very  important  loss  to  BCC  Athletics. 

The  second  campus  in  the  mid  1970's  developed  their  own  athletic  teams  so  now  there  were  the  Trotters  of  North 
Campus  against  the  Sea  Horses  of  Central  Campus.  The  funding  pie  was  cut  thinner,  uniforms  had  to  last  an 
extra  year,  assistant  coaches  would  be  volunteers  only,  and  books  were  checked  in  and  out  by  athletic  directors 
not  returned  to  the  bookstore  unless  they  lost  some  of  their  value  or  were  misplaced  in  the  process.  The  1970's 
developed  a  very  competitive  schedule  in  the  seventh  division  with  two  teams  per  sport  further  cutting  down  the 
quality  of  the  BJC  teams.  We  found  ourselves  in  a  position  where  we  had  to  rely  on  out-of-county  and  out-of- 
state  athletes.  Coaches  tried  to  network  at  national  conventions  and  state  athletic  counsels  looking  for  other 
good  athletes  no  matter  what  their  grades  which  brought  another  major  problem  into  BJC.  In  the  1970's, 
academic  eligibility  became  a  standard  established  by  the  NJCAA  with  BJC.  The  response  by  the  part-time 
coaches  was  not  good.  The  full-time  coaches  knew  well  what  they  had  to  do  but  now,  we  were  down  to  just  two 
full-time  coaches,  one  on  North  and  one  on  Central  Campus.  They  were  faculty  members  in  the  day  time  and 
coaches  at  night  time.  Another  weakness  of  BJC  was  their  coaches  who  weren't  there  during  the  day  to  help  the 
student  athletes.  These  coaches  didn't  encourage  the  student  study  halls,  see  them  as  student  athletes  only  as 
athletes,  or  help  them  with  registration.  The  turnover  rate  became  alarming  in  the  late  1970's.  By  eligibility 
standards,  we  lost  more  than  we  kept,  as  high  as  13  to  15  a  semester  disturbing  the  administration. 

The  opening  of  the  Teaching,  Auditorium,  Gymnasium  (TAG)  building,  later  known  as  The  OMNI  was  suppose  to 
bring  a  combination  of  intercollegiate  athletics,  cultural  events,  and  intramurals  to  the  students  of  the  North 
Campus.  The  rivalry  for  practice  time  became  an  almost  immediate  curse  on  the  multiple  purpose  building,  as 
community  groups,  opera  groups,  musical  symphonies,  volleyball  and  basketball  competed  for  the  same  space 
same  time  of  day  so  scheduling  became  the  manager's  nightmare.   For  the  Athletic  Director  in  charge,  an  easy 

going  man  Alton  Andrews  who  would  make  it  work  and  to  his  credit  a  program  that  maybe  didn't  equal  Central

Campus'  in  size,  definitely  equaled  it  in  quality.  The  Trotters  and  Sea  Horses,  in  the  late  1970's  would  cause 
provost,  administrators,  and  faculty  members  to  journey  from  campus  to  campus  to  see  the  competition,  but 
without  the  students.  The  Cheerleaders  were  disbanded  because  of  a  sexual  preference  discrepancy  and  that 
was  not  necessary  at  the  time.  The  full-time  coaches  were  hired  away  by  other  schools  from  North  Campus.  Bob 
Stenett  was  replaced  by  Carlton  Byrd.  The  basketball  program  under  Byrd,  took  off  as  this  player  who  made  good 
at  Florida  State  brought  BJC  a  good  recruiting  class  so  North  Campus  actually  beat  the  Central  Campus  in  Men's 
Basketball.  Women's  Basketball  seemed  to  be  about  even. 

It  was  the  court  sports  where  Central  Campus  dominated  .Women's  Tennis,  Elaine  Gavigan  was  replaced  by 
Tom  Burke  and  a  dynasty  would  be  formed  for  more  than  two  decades.  The  men's  golf  coach  left  so  Coach 
Landers  got  pressed  into  another  new  job.  BJC's  softball  teams  were  mediocre  and  having  two  in  one  county 
definitely  did  not  recruit  enough  good  players  for  both.  Men's  and  Women's  swimming  with  the  new  aquatic 
center  was  a  scene  of  constant  practice,  club  sports,  pee  wee  instruction  and  camp.  Camp  BCC  would  bring  the 
swimming  pool  to  a  full-time  use,  not  on  a  year  round  basis,  but  a  need  for  a  bigger  swimming  program. 
Thousands  of  kids  would  go  through  the  pool,  which  was  finally  closed  for  afternoon  swim  as  the  charge  of  fifty 
cents  a  day  was  not  deemed  enough  or  a  reason  to  keep  the  pool  open  for  the  kids  of  Davie  to  use  it.  The  BJC 
students  showed  no  interest  as  they  scurried  off  to  work,  so  the  college  saw  the  aquatic  complex  become  one  for 
competition,  club  sports,  intramural  sports,  but  mostly  intercollegiate  sports.  At  that  time,  there  were  many  Junior 
College  Swim  teams  just  in  South  Florida  so  the  swim  meets,  not  two  just  teams,  but  three  or  four  teams  would 
be  competing  in  different  events.  Unfortunately,  Lee  Wheat  resigned  for  his  health  reason  from  baseball.  BJC  and 
BCC  went  through  a  series  of  three  baseball  coaches,  not  the  teachers  or  any  major  leaguer  like  Wheat.  Our 
baseball  program  became  secondary  with  lack  of  assistant  coaches  hurt  the  program.  So  one  was  added.  Well  if 
Baseball  can  have  one,  why  can't  Basketball  have  one,  so  one  was  added  for  Men's  Basketball,  well  if  Men's 
Basketball  can  have  one  why  can't  Women's  Basketball  have  one  and  one  was  added,  and  so  it  went  through 
every  area.  The  payroll  was  absorbed  by  the  college.  The  scholarships  were  absorbed  by  the  college.  The 
insurance  and  needed  help  programs  were  absorbed  by  the  college  and  that  made  athletics  doable.  This  led  to  a 
credibility  issue  or  cost  factor  that  would  be  another  cause  for  the  demise  of  athletics.

The  1980's  brought  a  severe  decline  in  student  enrollment.  When  a  panic  set  in  among  the  college  administration, 
financial  exigency  was  practiced  with  thirteen  full-time  personnel  let  go  and  the  athletic  programs  be  consolidated 
meaning  one  sport  per  college,  not  per  campus.  Just  as  the  new  South  Campus  got  started  the  Flyers  were 
dropped  from  the  sports  that  were  scheduled  for  South  Campus.  The  cutback  or  mergers  found  the  provost  and 
campus  administrators  fighting  to  keep  as  many  as  possible.  Women's  Volleyball,  Men's  Basketball,  Men's 
Tennis,  Men's  Golf  and  for  awhile  Women's  Softball  were  on  North  Campus.  Softball  would  be  moved  to  Central 
Campus  which  also  kept  Women's  Basketball,  Women's  Tennis,  Men  and  Women's  Swimming,  Men's  Baseball. 
We  lost  a  lot,  we  saved  $1 8,000,  but  the  added  to  the  decline  of  athletics. 

There  was  no  real  rivalry  after  that.  There  was  no  athletic  articulation  agreements  with  the  Broward  high  schools 
so  we  lost  more  and  more  recruits  to  the  counties  on  either  side  of  us.  Dade  County  recruited  more  Softball 
players  out  of  Broward  County  than  Broward  did.  The  problem  was  what  we  had  done  before  for  the  lack  of 
media  coverage  caused  high  school  coaches  to  tell  their  athletes  look  elsewhere.  The  lack  of  full-time  coaches 
and  concern  for  the  student  athletes  turned  off  a  lot  of  the  Broward  County  coaches  in  even  suggesting  to  the 
parents  at  their  high  school  that  their  kids  come  to  Broward  Community  College.  The  difficulty  with  funding  was 
severe.  The  Student  Activities  Board  scrutinizing  the  budget  that  had  now  grown  from  the  original  $12,800.00  to 
$56,000.00  was  hit  with  several  interesting  concepts,  "Why  don't  you  take  care  of  the  insurance?,  why  don't  you 
hire  a  SID?"  Others  outside  of  Athletes  were  developing  concern  of  accountability  as  well  as  increasing  cost 
demands. 

The  new  athletic  program  of  the  1990's  saw  a  great  deal  of  competition  between  campuses  to  try  to  maintain  at 
least  one  the  intercollegiate  sport,  something  that  the  campus  administration  could  claim  as  an  enhancement.  It 
was  a  far  cry  from  the  1960's  and  1970's  when  the  Junior  College  of  Broward  County  was  seen  as  the  feeder 
system  recipient  of  the  local  high  schools.  This  caused  a  great  deal  of  concern  as  the  need  for  new  athletes  took 
us  to  a  different  level.  The  colleges  in  the  southern  conference  started  to  recruit  out-of-state  and  out-of-country 
athletes,  real  blue  chippers  to  raise  the  competitive  level  of  their  teams.  This  cost  JCBC,  BJC,  and  finally  BCC  a 
higher  level  of  commitment  not  only  did  scholarships  triple  for  the  amount  of  in-state  scholarships  cost  increasing, 
but  now  we  were  expected  to  provide  apartments  and  meals.    There  was  no  account,  no  funds,  no  so-called 


( 


booster  operation,  or  scholarship  raising  organizations  that  could  meet  the  need  of  the  students  that  would  come 
from  outside  of  the  United  States. 

Getting  publicity  in  South  Florida  was  extremely  difficult,  no  matter  how  competent  the  SID.  BCC  was  competing 
against  the  teams  of  the  National  Football  League,  the  National  Basketball  League,  the  National  Baseball  League, 
and  the  National  Hockey  League.  These  national  leagues  took  the  front,  second,  third  and  fourth  pages  away 
from  BCC  leaving  only  small  spaces  between  the  high  school  competition  where  BCC  could  be  recognized. 
Some  of  our  brightest  stars,  their  greatest  achievements,  our  biggest  upsets  and  national  events  received  not  a 
single  line  as  the  newspapers  saw  BCC  as  just  a  stopping  gap  to  be  used  as  they  saw  fit  to  fill  up  their  sport 
pages  after  national  interest. 

New  Intercollegiate  Athletics  after  1997  is  not  going  to  be  met  as  teams  are  going  to  become  victims  of  financial 
exigency.  Teams  with  national  rankings  will  be  sacrificed  because  we  just  don't  have  the  funds  to  take  care  of 
those  teams  that  are  no  longer  sanctioned.  Playing  an  intercollegiate  schedule  against  universities  and  four 
colleges  is  not  considered  by  the  junior  college  system  as  one  of  adequacy,  and  they  feel  the  competition  should 
be  Community  College  based.  The  problem  with  Broward  is,  we  have  lost  that  competitive  edge,  that  support 
from  the  community,  the  support  from  the  Student  Body,  the  support  from  the  administration,  now  what  remains 
is  a  Broward  Community  College  athletic  base  that  will  have  a  little  bit  of  show  for  the  students.  A  justification  to 
say,  "We  still  have  a  sport",  but  we  will  lose  more  teams,  in  1996  it  was  4  teams  ,  in  1997  "Who  knows"  Athletics 
in  Broward  Community  College  is  going  away.  Few  things  that  are  different  so  this  is  not  going  to  be  easy, 
athletics  will  be  a  challenge.

to  Miami  Dade's  greatness.  We  are  the  only  team  that  can  stop  them  and  we  think  we  can  do  this.  A  good

Miami  Dade  Falcons  fell  to  the  underdog  Broward  Seahorses.  Miami  had  18  straight  victories  and  national 
recognition  that  Coach  Morris  used  at  his  halftime  pep  speech  to  slow  down  the  game  and  not  try  to  run  with 
Miami,  just  fight  them  under  the  baskets  and  wait  for  the  good  shot.  Four  Falcons  fouled  out  giving  JCBC  the
