The Student Government, wit the help of dedicated members of the student body, was able to accomplish much that benefitted both the students and the college. As president of the Student Government Association for the 1969-1970 college year, I strongly believe that the Student govern- ment could not have accomplished anythingr without the hel of Students, faculty, an administrators w 0 were dee 1y involved in the problems and ideas whic arose during my term. I thank these people. I hope that in the future years there will be more of these eople who take a genuine interest in the co lege and in their fellow students. To the new president, Student Government members, and students of the college, I wish good luck and success in all their endeavors.

Circle K tthe college level service organization sponsored by Kiwanis Intere nationaD and the Keyettes of Luzerne County Community College conducted a Servicemenis Project designed to make those in the military feel closer to home. The clubs desired to show Luzerne County service men that people back home ap- preciate them and what they are doing. As a result, a monthly newsletter was sent to 250 local servicemen at stations around the rlobe concerninr news and practical in ormation of e Luzerne County area. Res Onses from all over the world indicated t e success of the project. Servicemen seemed particularly interested in the educational and occupational op- portunities awaiting them on their return to Luzerne County. The mailing list was complied through requests from parents and wives of Luzerne County servicemen and the help of Congressman Daniel J. F 100d. Shown, left, are members of the project committee as they discussed lans with George McCutcheon, Circle l2 advisor. Seated are Joan Miller, David Roberts, project chairman and vice president of Circle K, Cale Humenanski, project co-chairman. Standing, Fred Southern, publicity co-ordinator, Frank DeMasi, club president, and Barbara Jeffreys. circle k-keyettes gain international recognition Success of the Servicemenis Project can be measured in .two ways. First, the Luzerne County Community College Circle K received the Most Outstanding Single Service Award at the Pennsylvania State Circle K convention and com ietition. Coin- cidentally, this is the second year in a row that t e Community College garnered the coveted award. Last ear the Big Brother Big Sister Program won for the college t 6 Most Outstandmg Single Service Award. Considering the major colleges and um- versities also competing with service projects, the accomplish. ments of the Community College are truly outstanding. Recognition went beyond the state level when Congressman Daniel I. Flood notified the college that he would be leaving his Washington office to visit the Luzerne County Community Col- lege campus in order to congratulate ersonally Dr. Ferrell, Mr. McCutcheon, and club members for t eir achievement. With the uhlicity 'ven to the clubk' project in Kiwanis international pub ications, t e reputation and success of the colleges Circle K was thus worldwide. .Seated, David Roberts, Dr. Ferrell, Congressman Flood.

Klinkel was wounded in an heroic buth futile attempt to save a young schoolgirl from being murdered as she walked home from school. The college clubs set up a donation station at the entrance of the Main Col- lege building and staffed the table until enough money was collected to make a worthwhile monetary gift to Klinkel.

THE MINUTEMAN The Minuteman, a name rich in historical prestige, is the mascot of Luzerne County Community College Most notably, the name is used for the colleges athletic teams and competitive activities. Realistically; however, hminutemanb refers to many areas of collegiate endeavor. Alertness, preparation, and readiness for action are Characteristics of the Minuteman Which are emulated by those who have selected him as their symbolic emblem. The picture, left, is a photograph of a paint- ing done by a Luzerne County Community College student, Adrienne Vasil. The painting has been purchased by the college. 175 v.;-,y,v,...,-;, , .v ,A w m m M .1. . . . Litiwmx
