HA few of these include: bet- ter campus lighting for security pur- poses, the installation of building signs to better label the campus buildings and the addition of more sidewalks. In terms of specifics, the armory has been painted and the football stadium is scheduled for painting. The Dunn Center will also be finished with the inclusion of more landscaping. Printing services was moved to Ellington Hall where there is more space and thus, the center can offer a greater service to the campus. It was from Dr. Williams that a full understanding of how the unusually hard winter affected Austin Peay's bud- get can be gained. Williams commented, 'lDuring the winter months, Austin Peay was cut off entirely from natural gas, leaving the only alternative - fuel oil.

Education continues outsnde the Classroom, as promient lecturers speak at APSU Floyd Kephart Jr. well know political analyst Floyd Kephart Jr., welI-known politi- cal analyst, was the first representative of speakers sponsored by the visiting speakers and artists committee on campus. Kephart spoke to more than 500 Austin Peay students Tuesday, Oct. 26, predicting that Jimmy Carter would re- ceive 25-26 per cent of the eligible reg- istered voters on Nov. 12 and would become the next president of the Unit- ed States. 'lOn Jan. 15, 1976 only four per cent of the American public knew who Jim- my Carter was. Now some 10 months later, one-fourth of the eligible regis- tered voters will elect our next presi- dent, he added. Kephart feels that we are in an age of mediocrity and it is one of the faults of our system because everyth- ing moves to the center. ttThere is no question that President Gerald Ford is a mediocre candidate; he is not a great president and he may not even be a pretty good president. But hes not a bad president,f' re- marked Kephart. But on the other hand, Carter offers to the American people a chance for leadership. He may be another Roosevelt, but then again he may not be. One major difference between the two candidates, expressed the analyst, is that Ford expresses what he is against while Carter voices what he is for. . . . Carter offers to the American people a chance for leadership. Floyd Kephart Jr., Oct. 26, 1976
