Dr. Adams considers this job ideal for him. He worked at Florida State University for several years while completing requirements for his Mas- ter's and Doctor,s1Degrees. He was the Assistant Dean of Men and As- sistant Professor of Education at F.S.U. through 1964. In 1965 he was appointed the Superintendent of Pub- lic Schools for Charlotte County. This was the first time he was in a public school system. The theories of educa- tion that he had studied for so long now had to be put to use. Dr. Adams has confidence in the students of junior colleges. The stu- dents who go on to other universities have done very well scholastically. One of the hazards of administra- tion work is loss of contact with stu- dents. Dr. Adams hopes to have more contact after the initial adjustment period of his job. When he was the Assistant Dean of Men at F.S.U. he taught an education class to keep in touch with the students. Dr. Adams feels that the junior college can offer a superior quality of education. There aren't any graduate students here working on degrees. The instructors all have master's. Adams said that Broward junior Col- lege can afford to be very selective and intends to be. Fort Lauderdale is an ideal spot because of its climate ind location. One of the advantages of the junior college is its tie with the community. The college is in a position to serve because the students are living off campus and are involved in the activi- ties of the community. B. C. is continually expanding. It will have a capacity of 12 to 13 thousand students. The Multiple Pur- pose Learning Services Building has just been completed. The college now moves on to phase five of the plans. Dr. Adams seemed happy about the plans to landscape the entire campus and was sure the faculty and students would share his joy. XVhen the campus reaches 70 to SOP? of its capacity, a new campus 0 ..4 site will be built. The site is at Co- conut Creek, west of Pompano Beach. It will probably service five to six thousand students. The general edu- cation courses will be the same. It is not known what technical courses will be taught. Perhaps it will work out better if some technical courses are taught at just one site, he feels. Dr. Adams was pleased about the small turnover in faculty this year. Because of unusual conditions exist- ing on campus last year there was quite a large turnover. This year only nine instructors are leaving, seven to pursue higher degrees. A slight in- crease in student enrollment is ex- pected in the fall so a few more teachers wil be hired. ff' YT' DR. HUGH ADAMS, B. J. C. President Dr. Adams said that he did not an- ticipate any changes in administra- tive positions. Because of a new gov- erning system that goes into effect july l. some titles may vary. This new system will put the junior col- lege under the jurisdiction of one Board of Trustees. Dr. Adams was vice chairman of the Covernor's Commission for Qual- ity Education and Coordinator for the Executive Staff for the Commis- sion. He said that the state of Florida needs unity in their educational sys- tem. The term system needs to be set to avoid confusion in credit trans- fer and time differences. Dr. Adams would like to see unified standards set up and recognized statewide.

It's What's appening POSTER CRAVE A full-sized Greyhound bus, weigh- ing ten pounds and seven ounces, pulled up in front of Radio City Music Hall in New York. This is an example of the poster craze that is showing up all over the country. The poster described above, which is 36 feet long, was limited in printing to 200 editions and each copy costs 835. Every major city in the U. S. has a poster store. Some stores even use the ceiling as a display. such as the Print Mint in San Francisco which sells up to 800 posters a day. Posters are found almost every- where. They are seen in hippie pads, stores, family rooms, and even in executive boardrooms. Pictures on the posters include the most popular Peter Fonda astride a motocycle taken from his film YVild Angels. Posters are used for many purposes. One, a conglomeration of faces rang- ing from Marilyn Monroe, to the old Beatlesf, to Shirley Temple, was used for the new Beatles, the :'Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Bandi' album. A billboard ad- vertisement for Arrow shorts has a large poster of Pamela Tiffin. Some other pictures on posters are of a large Chiquita bananag Peter, Paul, and Maryg Robert Mitchumg psychedelic designsg words and de- signs combinedg Napoleon Bonaparteg a nose shot of jimmy Duranteg Twiggyg Charlie Chapling Mao Se Tungg Fidel Castrog Betty Grableg and many more. As many would wonder now, can one tell if the sidewalk artist has taken a pencil to the posters or not? 4 Mm X 55552 2355 35521 ' A'MW 'w ..-+1-i 'i'Kfi .f'1nx - -... .- .. .
