XXX li .l. .and political. Where ore fl t Thou, A better man than l once said that politics was a strife of interests masquerading as as contest of principles. And it is true, it seems, that politics is playing an increasingly important role in our lives these days. To some in our society, there appears to be a constant struggle for political power among those that be. To others the same tired faces keep cropping up mouthing the same inuendoesg content to rest on past laurels and having a propensity of saying nothing a great deal of the time. It used to be thought that students I 8 Year-old voters were content just going to school, studying for some suitable career, and perhaps swallowing an occasional goldfish or two. Nowadays it is nearly impossible to visit any campus that doesn't have its own group of political activists. Broward Community College is no exception. ln recent months various groups have sprung up and have matured into youth-oriented parties. The once defunct Young Republican Party and Young Democrat Party have once again appeared on campus, the form remaining essentially likes its pare organization and the latter evolvi into the Young Democrat Coalition third party has also made i appearance--the New Party. The N Party is composed of a small, b dedicated group of young people th desire more radical, faster chang than either of the established part: l l l are willing to accommodate. Each these parties have some of t idealistic radicalism that earmar youth. What is needed today is a mon concerned and involved student bod s t o By Steve Humphri . -,, l ll 'i Ql l ny groups, such as the Young iat is aware of what is happening ound them in their community and ie 'world at large. lt is time to iandon the academic secularism and impus cliches that have dominated stitutions of higher learning. Colleges id universities can no longer afford 1 be solely an intellectual recluse ir those that are content to banish iemselves from their fellow man. ho few have taken seriously the lvent of the eighteen year old ght-to-vote. Not only is this true for any of the powers-that-be, but with e newly enfranchised voters emselves. It is appalling to find that is is the case. There has been no 'ger increase of the voting ranks ice the female populace gained the iht with the passage of the 19th wendment. it simply, this single conglomerate of ople has the potential capability of ianging the entire political make-up this country on all fronts. Yet this, not ignored, is played down by any political experts throughout the tion. ver since the youth were given the 'ting privilege a few months ago, ere has been an active campaign roughout the United States to have is group register. mocrats, Young Republicans, League of Woman Voters, and other civic organizations have attempted to organize and lead the youthful voters. On campuses, student government associations often planned a voter registration drive to kick-off their years activities. ln Broward County there are a possible 23,000 eligible voters in the 18-21 year range. Of these, there are about 6,000- 7,000 actually registered. Of the rest, many haven't the time, others don't care, still others are unsure of themselves, and then there are those who believe that 18 is just too young an age to take on the responsibility of electing public officials and those responsibilities that are commiserate with adulthood. Many in this group believe that they can only vote in a presidential or national election. But it clearly states that they can vote in all elections and referendums, as long as the requirements are met. This lack of information is slowly being eradicated. The registration drive at BCC netted an additional 769 voters to the county books, the bulk of which fell in the 18-21 range. These young adults, along with those polled afterwards, remained basically within the two party system. Only a small precentage have gone with the splinter groupsg such as the New Party, Wallace's American Independent, and Independent. BCC students have on the most part gone Democrat. The aura of the Kennedy's, the McCarthy movement have given an impetus to the Democrats that will be difficult to overcome. The major problem for them will be in finding a person that can capture the imagination of the youth. It will be left up, not to the radical activists, who have also been in the minority, but to that student who epitomizes the American youth of today. The youth want change, they want improvement of life and life's standards. To realize their potential will mean more involvement than has been shown. Whether responsive officials are elected depends on the concern shown. Returns are only proportional to the effort supplied. But most important, it is up to youth to see that their vote is counted. They cannot be content to sit back and let the other guy make their decisions. If so, then this generation will slowly sink into the morass that engulfed past generations. The fruits of many peoples efforts have blossomed, it will be up to the newly enfranchised youth to see what benefits are reaped. Assitant Ed itor's Note: During the time of on-campus voter registration, 769 names were added to the rolls, the great bulk of these falling into the 18-20 year age bracket. The Democratic party gained 389 membersp Republicans, 244. Third and fourth party registrants, along with those claiming no party affiliation accounted for the remaining 36 newly lregistered voters. lt is believed that more students would have registered NP lno partyl if not for the fact that primary elections are open to only members of that particular party. The Young Democrat Coalition, under the leadership of June Hartwick, num- ber 20, twice as many as Steve Cutler's Young Republicans. Both organiza- tions have been reactivated only since Term I began. Cutler commented that the purpose of the club was to stimulate political interest and activity among young voters, and to make the young voter a conscientious voter. l-le conceeded however that one or two members may be strict party-liners, adding that As far as conservativism is defined today yes, as a group we are conservative. As far as the traditional definition of conservativism, no. Miss Hartwick stated that her group considers themselves rugged individuals who recognize that the TWO-party system is the basis for American politics and chose to allign themselves with the Democratic party. ff Q' 1 f f f 1 'Nl l3i..n.ti4rla.i. titties llciii sgutrii' ri slim .air , Mg' N T' If .4 J ttf! 1 , V . :leaf . 'Nl lf 1 There was a time when Economics was thought simply to be a course that accountants had to take and that it had something to do with graphs. And when one talked of The Economy, it was usually suffixed by size and referred to laundry detergent. The economy is big today, though lor least the subject of the economyl and students find themselves not only concerned with economics in general but their own specific situations. On a campus the type of BCC a myriad of financial problems plague students. One of the aforementioned graphs which is always very popular is the carving up of the consumer dollar, or in this case, the matriculation fee dollar. However, according to Hall Whaley, BCC comptroller lpronounced controllerl, it is a bit difficult to see exactly where the student's money goes. To begin with, the additional 34.50 that students paid with their fees this term goes to the state for scholarship distribution, rather than remaining within the school. Whaley believes that this is unfair to those who are paying out-of-state fees, since they are ineligible for these grants. He is also opposed to the fact that this additional fund has taken the place of a legislative appropriation. Certain auxilliaries of the college, for example, the bookstore, are self-sustaining and receive no appropriation. But how do students come up with money to pay the fees in the first T place? Out-of-state tuition has been mentioned and that provides as good a starting place as any. Mary Couture moved to Hollywood before her senior year in high school in order to care for her sick grandmother. Her parents, however, remained in Michigan. Term I marked Mary's fifth and final term at BCC, for all five terms she has paid out-of-state tuition because she is dependent on her parents who hold residence in Michigan. Miss Couture's parents do not contribute to her educatiion however. If she were to become an independent minor, she would be dropped from her parents insurance. Insurance for and independent minor is more costly than out-of-state tuition. Along with increased tuition, Mary, a music education major who has been a member of Chamber Choir since her first term here, has the additional expenses of applied music fees. Mary added that she and a brother who has recently graduated from college and pointed out that the cost of living is much higher in Michigan, where it snows much of the year. She feels that out-of-state tuition is necessary but that waivers should be permitted. It shouldn't matter that much where you're from. A psychology major who prefers to remain anonymous took night courses in addition to coming to school during the day because he registered too late. He registered late because he did not '1 ' ' bT!l-'3!R'L0l'Q'5'9!W4'T2-5 ' have the money to pay his fe including out-of-state tuition Anonymous was able to talk to I George Young, Dean of Stude Affairs who offered him a short te loan in order to pay the fees.

She also holds a part-time job as a cashier, with a take-home pay of approximately S40 a week. Chylene lives at home, and so at present does not have any room and board expenditures. But I pay for all my clothes, all my medical bills, and though I use my father's car, it doesn't run on water, she added. Besides the more obvious kinds of financial assistance lloans, grants, scholarships, waivers of feesl BCC also has developed a program of Cooperative Education, whereby the student works full time one semester and attends classes the next semester, alternating the two until graduation requirements are met. The benefits from the Co-Op program are many. There is the opportunity to make college education lReady? All together now...l relevant, a chance to discover if your major field is really what you want to dedicate your life tO. And there is money. Average wages for a student working in the co-op program are over 32.50 an hour and students can earn between S1500 and S2000 a year from co-op employers. Assistant Director of Cooperative Education William Dery stated that money was a major part of the attraction to most of those entering the program, but both he and Walter F. Thomason, director of the program, agreed that the financial aspects lose importance as the student continues. Although BCC's program is still too young to have any conclusive evidence, in a nation-wide study it was shown that two out of three cooperative education students remain with the same employer even after graduation, according to Thomason. The director also said that most of those enrolled in the work-study curriculum probably could get by on part-time jobs. Dery added, however, that this method is a good way to seperate jobs and school. However, across campus from the Cooperative Education Office is the Financial Aid Office. Approximately 1500 full time students, or about a quarter of the total enrollment of full-time students, receive some sort of economic assistance from this office, according to Mrs. Betty Cooper. Mrs. Cooper said that all Term l grants and scholarships were distributed. These numbered about the same as for the previous year, but there were more student applicants this time around. ln addition, all 130 on-campus workships and 160 off-campus workships were filled. These levels were unchanged, too. Short-term, interest-free loans are available to students who apply during the week their fees are due. All these loans are to be paid by April 1. In the fall term, the entire fund was distrubuted. Mrs. Cooper also noted that many loans were still available to full-time students who have been residents of Florida for at least two years. All applications must be co-signed, even those of married persons, Mrs. Cooper added. Payment of these loans begins after graduation at an interest rate of 4 percent. So there is some financial assistance to be had. But with the increased emphasis on college education, not only for the academically oriented but for those interested in technical fields, the present status of financial aid may seem to some to be merely tokenism. And even those who do get it are not guaranteed a free ride. It may be incongrous, notwithstanding all the talk of meaningless education and a somewhat reactionary cry for simpler times, there are still many who care enough about an education to finance it themselves. We may be evolving into a species that will thrive on three hours sleep a night. And there are still probably a surprising number of BCC students who for three days of the week find themselves driving on E in possession 27 cents. 0 Ralph Nader: Supercihze By Nancy Mixon l think one thing we've learned, even though we may not want to admit it, is that the sheer growth of our economy is solving fewer and fewer problems. Speaking to a group of three thousand students, faculty, and other community members on November 10, Ralph Nader conveyed his findings regarding the American economy, consumer protection, and environmental standards. The noted consumer advocates was introduced by SGA president, Larry Brannon, whose organization sponsored lVlr. Nader's ninety minute speech. Security police patroled the BCC gymnasium, while purses and bags were searched as additional safety measures. Speakers were operating outside for the benefit of those who were unable to enter the crowed building. Nader commented upon the unfair distribution of financial resources, citing crumbling cities, pollution of the environment, schools closing because of lack of revenue, and the high costs of medical care as examples of issues that are excluded from response to economic needs. He believes that Americans are too complacent about what occurs in the country and that many have a tendency to compare the American economy with those of foreign countries. However, he stated, we should only be compared with our own potential. We should be ashamed of oufselves for having such depressing problems in a country of unparalleled wealth and resourses and scientific and technological skills. There's no excuse for having 25,000,000 Americans live in a state of continual poverty and millions undernourished children , Nader added. He later stated, We must redefine democracy to meet new challenges and issues. The importance of the environmental crisis was outlined in three steps by lVlr. Nader. First, it creates a new level of perception from which pollution may be regarded, that is, as a form of destruction capable of generating epidemics. Pollution is a primary destroyer of private property from which it originates, in the form of corporations, plants, and mills. Second the environmental crisis m be considered systematically. Polluti is a part of the whole picture subj to no ecological barriers. Third promotes the effective organization citizens in an effort to combat problem. As Nader stated, Polluti can be controlled in two ways. 0 way is building more hospitals a providing more beds for the wheez l 1 l i i victims. The other way is to trace 1 problem and administer controls at 1 earliest point of commencement The consumer advocate descri The price is quite high, as is sho by its status as as health hazard wh often resuts in cancer and emphyse as well as genetic effects, for th who are subjected to prolon exposure to polluted areas necessitates far more controls than being used to combat the problem the cost of controlling pollution minimal in comparison to the pro of the corporations that are the ma polluters and the cost if pollution is stopped. Pollution is the cause of million worth of property dam annually. At this revelation, Na asked his audience Can we aff not to stop pollution? l 4 1 l I I ' I A Q . rl n l l .i ui , pollution as the price of progre 'v ii i ll ii I I ll Il i pposition to pollution control is und in intransigent corporate wer. Thus the polluters are iolating a federal law established in 99 which prohibits the dumping of ntaminants into navigable rivers. is law was not discovered until . T get around this onvenient regulation, many rporations have been provided with enses t pollute by the xon-Agnew administration. der described the nation s citizenry eing more concerned with ' kpockets and rocks thrown through ndows than about corporations that og our cities or pollute our water . ardless of the fact that several bills ncerning such problems as water Ilution and pesticides have been posed to the Congress, citizens union by wri ing to their resentatives believing that one er doesn t count. On the contrary, lder revealed a small group of :zen lobbyists effected the defeat of SST bill. The Consumer Class tion Bill which at the time of this lnting is pending before Congress, II allow an individual citizen to sue orporation on behalf of cooperating sumers of the same item about ich he has a complaint. This type legislation has become necessary as esult of the inability of the judicial tem to handle small complaints. ider is wholeheartedly in favor of bill. Furthermore, he believes that influence of a minority of ncerned citizens would insure its ,ssage. have often said , he declared, that ree thousand citizens around the untry devoting five hours of their 'ne can get any bill passed in the nate . ader suggested that citizenship ould be regarded as a fulltime ofession . It may be employed on e job as a means of consumer otection. Nader cited, as an ample the case of a General Motors nployee who was aware of a defect 2114 million Chevrolets that had n distributed to dealers across the tion. Unable to attain any response m the company executives, the n ll I 69 O 1 Q 0 l ! . iz S b ll l ii- eal' I'ElUl'lCI8l1t to BXDFESS Bn 3 t ' I l I ll 5 , ll ll l n I n ll Il 1 u concerned employee reported the problem to the proper authorities in Washington and the vehicles in question were immediately called in for repairs. ln regard to their role in today's society, Nader views students as a group of individuals that need to learn about citizenship through developing issues it feels to be of importance. The most expeditious type of learning , he stated, is learning that deals and stems from problems faced by students and implies that it is present in all phases of academic education because realistic elements of life are not included in the curricula. For example, students at schools such as MIT and California Tech emerge with minimal knowledge concerning pollution and its effects. They are, he stated, singularly unequipped to deal with the problems of pollution . These schools succumb to what industries want and direct their curricula toward fulfilling those requirements. For example, Ford Motor Company teaches the requisite tunnel vision so that the employees don't have the authority not the resources to go to work on safety problems. Instead, they work on higher compression ratios and making the fins curve in one year and out the next . Following Mr. Nader's completely extemporaneous speech, the consumer advocate responded to written inquiries submitted by members of the audience and, later, to questions posed by reporters at a press conference in the Seahorse Room. He was questioned regarding the recent corporate tax cut in relation to corporate profit, to which he replied, The Nixon-Agnew administration is not concerned about corporate profit, only about the next election . Mr. Nader was quizzed concerning his rumored candidacy for president on a third party ticket, He confirmed that he has repeatedly denied any such possibility to the advocates of his nomination, stating, You can't be on the side of the consumer and a politician at the same time . Nader explained that he is in favor of the U.S. space program because it shows what technology can do . Further--more, he would rather see the defense budget cut than the space program , which evoked a round of applause from the audience. In response to a question concerning the use of cleaner forms of energy to replace that which releases chemicals into the atmosphere Mr. Nader advocated solar energy and fission as possible solutions to the increasing problem of air pollution, but excluded atomic energy for its potentially dangerous effects . He also advocated a replacement for the internal combustion engine as a means of eliminating pollution from automobiles. There is more pollution contained in a ten mile area of stop and go traffic than there is in one hundred miles of high speed driving , he stated. When asked what type of automobile he would choose should he decide to buy one, Mr. Nader replied, l'm waiting for a car that will withstand impact at sixty miles per hour without injuries and that doesn't pollute. That car does not exist yet. Furthermore, he conjectured that fifteen million Americans could do without cars by making use of public transportation. Mr. Nader predicted that the Volkswagen bug will be phased out of import by 1975 because it will be unable to compete with the Japanese competition . Ralph Nader exposed his audience to a number of problems which are, and should be, of major concern to Americans. He believes in the power of the individual and of minority groups who are united in a common cause. ll I lf ten people cant change . .

Michael Smith Broward County is the fastest growing county in the world and Broward Community is the deadest campus that I have ever seen. This remark was made by Julian Bond when he came to our campus last year. complimentary, is it? Not very Nevertheless, this used to be true. Used to be true, because concerned students are organizing to put needed vitality into our school. This shot of life, which involves a number of organizations on campus, is being organized by the Committee on Environmental Concern, founded and directed by Jim Kearns, a dynamic young man with a new concept for school clubs. This new concept is one of working. A very fundamental idea, but one lacking in many clubs at BCC. After the initial brain work had been done, Jim went to three important figures on campus and told them that our college needed a group to do some research and activities in the enviromental field. After hearing him out, Dr. Adams, Dr. Young, and Bob Martin of Student Concern, gave him their OK, and pledged their support for the Environmental Committee. True to their word, the support from the administration since that time, has been tremendous. As of early November the committee had 150 members, composed of Students for Black Involvement, The Florida Engineering Society, and The Circle K. Other interested groups on campus are The Young Republicans and The New Democratic Coalition. In addition to these organizations, The Kiwanis Clubs of Fort Lauderdale have shown a great deal of interest and Jim has spoken to their members at a num- ber of luncheons around town. Concerning this new concept of work, I think that it is interesting to note that there has not been a full meeting of all the members of the committee as yet, however, one is expected soon. General meetings are only called as they are needed. Jim puts his feelings this way, You do not get results by sitting around drinking coffee and discussing Robert's Rules of Order. Sounds good, doesn't it? Well, there is a whole lot more than just idle talk there. At this time the Committee on Environmental Concern is working on four very meaningful projects. The first is in the form of a questionnaire that has been circulated in the black community. The questionnaire will help locate the exact location of wells that are known to be polluted, but are still being used for drinking water. Another project involves an investigation of the Florida Power and Light Co's. Port Everglades Plant. During the clear daylight hours this plant burns natural gas, which emits mostly steam back into the atmosphere, however, when the curtain of darkness falls, it is believed that FP8tL starts burning a fuel known as, bunker C . Bunker C is the very first refinement of what becomes diesel fuel, Jim explains, but is such garbage that it can't be used as motor fuel. It is this seemingly total lack of concern on the part of big business that the Committee on Enviromental Concern is attacking and hopes to correct. The fight will not stop there either, among other projects, the committee is investigating the cities of Plantation and Lauderhill and their reported practices of dumping raw sewage overflow into our once beautiful and once odorless canals. As for as the future is concerned, I think that Jim really has his work cut out for him. He told of his long range College, Community, and Criminal Justice 'lans call for continual reevaluation d adjustment so as to serve the ucational needs of all facets of the oward Community, the State, and e Nation consonant with the iIIege's purposes and its resources. ith this goal in mind, Broward :mmunity College made a giant step rvvard in developing and expanding ll ll . : resources , with the oundbreaking, November 8th, of the 'iminal Justice Institute. :noting the great importance that 2 institute will have on our mmunity and state, many elected d appointed officials as well as many v enforcement officers from 'rounding communities and our tion's capital, took time out of busy iedules to come to the iundbreaking. Along with these 'icerned men and women, there ne telegrams containing congratu- lations and pledges of support from President Nixon, director of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover, Gov. Reuben Askew and others. The Criminal Justice Institute has started the first of a three phase construction plan, which when finished should exceed one million dollars in building expenditures. Upon completion the first phase will hold a large student crime laboratory, a photographic darkroom, library, faculty and administrative offices, reception area, and restrooms. Phase two will be completed in 1973 and will provide facilities for physical training as well as a locker and shower room, conference and office space and more classrooms. The third and final phase will round out the institute with a firing range, larger classrooms for seminars, an expanded laboratory and a student lounge.

The Criminal Justice Institute is a first for the State of Florida, but it expresses just one more way in which Broward Community College is striving to become a working institution for all of Broward County. They have no way of knowing if there really is a bomb in the building or if it is a hoax. They run the risk of being blown to the four corners of the campus. ' Police Brutality! --Hogwash! Not at Broward Community College. Here at BCC we don't know the meaning of police brutality. Our campus policemen are gentle individuals, family men working for a living like most of us. Some of them, such as Officer Mandel, are working to put their children thru college. Occasionally, they have to be firm and give out a wellcleserved traffic ticket, but did you know that the dollar you so begrudgingly pay for the traffic fine goes into a scholarship fund to benefit YOU the student? Most people on campus only remember the tickets that they have received form the campus policemen. But when cars stall, who gives the battery a boost? -- The campus policemen. And when keys get locked in cars, who gets them out? -- the campus policemen. Perhaps our campus policemen are not stereotypes of Dick Tracy or do not handle extreme situations lsuch as bomb threatsl like policemen on TV do, but nevertheless they expose themselves to many dangers. There is CC Security: 'Dr n t' U9 It' of only one man on at night. lt can get quite lonely out here in the middle of the night. There was an ocassion on which the policeman on night duty had a heart attack. lt was five hours before anyone came to his aid. During bomb scares, these policemen enter deserted buildings searching for a bomb. They have no way of knowing if there really is a bomb in the building or if it is a hoax. They run the risk of being blown to the four corners of the campus. The big problem, which some people tag as ineptness on the part of the men, is that our campus police force is undermanned. There are eight men working under Chief Debroski. One is a part-timer and the other one is at the North Campus. These men are split into three shifts and they also have to patrol our grounds on Saturday and Sundays. Included in our policemen's duty is the job of patrolling Nova University at night in exchange for the use of their parking area by our students.

These men lack the :hority that policemen and guards other campusses have. They have weapons so that they cannot xtect themselves or us if an occasion use in which a weapon was zessary. is the general feeling among the men it if they are going to do a job of Jtecting our campus, they should be tter trained for the job. Although lny of the men are ex-police officers others feel that they could use the training. An example of one of the men who went for training is Schade Mullins. Mr. Mullins went for training at the police academy where he was given the same training that regular police officers go through. Mr. Mullins feels that now he's is much better able to serve our campus in the capacity of campus policeman. The members of the campus police force also feel that they should have more authority. If anyone on campus was being attacked by another UNI' TOP: BCC Security Department on the move again - during bomb scare. BO77'OM: Car 7a 7030atB lot, over. . . the chatter neverstops. Officer Pihokken was part of strict security for Ralph Nader's visin individual, the men on the force would be helpless because they cannot make an arrest. And, if the attacker was armed the campus policemen would have to make a fast retreat since none of them carry weapons. Regardless of these obstacles, our campus policemen are doing a great job in patrolling our grounds and protecting and helping us. The overall job of protection and tight security surrounding the Ralph Nader presentation that day was commendable indeed. And so to Julius Debroski, Jacob Mandel, Gilbert McKinnon, Schade Mullins, Jerry Pasquino, Stephen Pikhokken, Edward Rasche, Officer Welsh, and Officer Doane lNorth Campusl, congratulations for a job well done. l ni-43. f 1 1 f!

Handicapped these people certainly are, but there is still alot of life in those bodies, and it's being used to the fullest. Colleen Sharpe is a young lady on the go, yet she has never known what it is like to have a left arm. Colleen is a prefood and nutrition major, with a class load of 15 hours, which includes one hour physical education. As if this was not enough to keep a young woman busy, Miss Sharpe also spends 30 hours a week working at Memorial Hospital. While Colleen finds that the teachers and students at Broward Community College are nice to her, she has not made any lasting friendships. She tells me that this is mainly because people have to get to know her, and that, of course, takes time. As might be Even the mere act of opening a door is an everyday problem for rhe handicapped. expected, her friends at Broward are students she has known from her high school days at Hollywood Hills. Unlike some of us more fortunate students, Colleen could only think of one complaint with BCC, and I think that most of us will agree with her. She feels that at least a couple of the more popular walkways should be covered so that getting to class could be a little more conventent on some of those wet rainy days. Colleen has been counseled by the Vocational Rehabilitation Department of Broward County, and they are paying her school tuition, although she pays all her other expenses. While talking to Sally J. Chalstrom, a counselor for the Vocational Rehaibilitation Department, l found that there are many handicapped people in the South Florida area that won't let their handicap bog them down.

Taylor puts it, This is a ram for the student to develop a er concept of self, and this takes g effort on both sides. t handicapped students do make effort at BCC, and this full effort Jt into learning. This is probably brought out in the person of Jim ieidewend, who at 40 is getting his :ation while confined to a wheel '. Although Jim has been in the al chair since 1956, he has not had ill life and is one of the most 'esting men that I have ever talked A man that has spent fifteen of orty years sitting in a wheel chair then wants to go to college, what fou think? ust be said, however, that Jim has not always been so well motivated. After he was confined to a wheel chair and found that he was suffering from a birth defect, Jim worked as a telephone operator till he was laid off and then did office work for a small business firm. After that he found that the government would give him Social Security benefits for his handicap, and with no encouragement to get out and go to work, he lived off of his benefits for ten years. After moving to Broward County from Wisconsin he was sent to the Opportunity Center of Broward County by the Vocational Rehabilitation Department. I believe that it was there that Jim really found himself. With the full cooperation of the staff, he began helping some of the other clients that were going to the Opportunity Center. Jim explained it when he said, I get a personnal feeling of pride when I help someone. It was his friends on the staff that convinced him that he should go to college and study to be a professional counselor. And that is just what Jim is doing at BCC. Although Jim feels that too many students expect too much from college, he thinks that the students and faculty at BCC are first class. From what he has told me I could not agree with him more. My own experiences with him have shown me that Jim is his own man and likes to do things himself, but he is not so proud as not to accept help when it is needed. I found that in all of Jim's classes one of the students will make an extra set of their notes for him. This is necessary since he does not have the dexterity in his hands needed for writing. I thought to myself that the students at BCC really have it all together as Jim told me, ln addition to everything else I am very appreciative of the way the students have treated me and the help they have given me in my cIasswork. As far as the teachers go, Jim finds that they give plenty of cooperation as long as a little interest is shown. One of the people that Jim speaks most highly of is IVlr. Ray Gover, who has helped Jim immensely with expert counseling. Jim does have a complaint with Broward, but only because he has to cope with it every day he is at school. He finds his main problem is the dip in the walkway between the Library and the Hospitality Center. Getting down to the middle of the dip is no problem, but coming up can be very trying and almost impossible if there is a strong wind. One other problem that I have observed, and which Jim would not complain much about, is the one or more steps that sometimes have to be mounted to get into buildings or onto walkways. Jim would not complain about this because he still has some power in his legs and finds that if he turns his wheel chair around and pushes with his legs, he can manage the step. However, what about the students in wheel chairs that have no power in their legs? Let us start using some foresight for these people. The way the handicapped person is treated by his fellow students at BCC is something that we can all be proud of, but the responsibility does not stop there. We must see that new facilities are installed and that existing facilities are improved. This immediately brings to mind our new North Campus. With the question of what facilities, for handicapped students, have been incorporated into the architects drawings of the new campus, I went to Dr. Harry V. Smith, the Executive Dean of the North Campus. Taking time out of a busy schedule, Dr. Smith told me that the new campus has a one-story interim building, and the two-story building are connected on the second floor by a covered walk way in addition to having an outside elevator. Marked spots in the parking lot are also being provided. I hope that some further thought will be given to this important situation and that the blue prints will be diagnosted as to what is still lacking in the way of facilities for the handicapped. Through first hand observation it is my opinion that the handicapped student has a terriffic desire to live life like everyone else. To maintain themselves, when possible, raise families and assume their rightful place in American life. I consider myself very lucky to be going to a school where the students and teachers do what they can to help the handicapped students while still treating them as individuals, the same as you or I. o-op E ucation Puts And just how many times have you found yourself sitting in the midst of The Most Boring Classroom Lecture in the World, and asked yourself, what in the name of Floyd Christian am l doing here? Ahhh, this is just one of the countless trials and tribulations in the process of obtaining that ever-elusive college education. True, it often seems so futile to expend two, three, four or more years of continuous classroom study without ever truly applying that knowledge, getting out to where it's definitely at, or in layman's terms, a job. Well, surprise! BCC has had on its campus a program specially designed to give Q, the student, the opportunity to integrate your classroom study with practical work experience in whatever your major field happens to be. Such is the Cooperative Education Program at Broward. Students specializing in every area from aviation to technical education may apply for the Coop Program, and, in fact, the program covers every major field offered at BCC with the exceptions of the paramedical area, Hotel- Motel Management and Food Service Administration which sponsor their own work-study programs. If you are a full-time student with 12 classroom hours to your credit you One part of co-oping for Steve DeStephano Knowled e to Us may apply for the Cooperative Education Program. The only academic requirement is a 2.0 grade point average and good academic standing. If you enter the program you must plan to graduate from Broward while remaining in the Cooperative Program during your time on campus. The program of alternating terms of full-time study with terms of full- time work. lf you are a student you may apply to Cooperative Education just as soon as you have been accepted for enrollment by the College, although you do not receive a work assignment until you have completed one semester of school. You need not be specially trained to apply for the program, but instead interested in working in the field you plan to go into upon graduation. Take Steve. Steve DeStephano went through two long years of college training in business administration. However, his real interests lay in redio-television broadcasting, sports in particular. He had read a great deal of literature on the subject, but had considered it perhaps a bit too elusive and selective a field to pursue.

Established in 1906, program was initially limited to neering students. However, over years it has gradually broadened - ope to include every variety of ent. At Antioch University 5 oximately one half of the student y is involved in the Cooperative Education Program. Northeastern College in Boston has over 6500 students participating in CEP spread out over its seven campus colleges lEngineering, Business Administration, Liberal Arts, Education, Pharmacy, Nursing and Physical Education.l Not only do colleges themselves actively take part in Cooperative Education, but employees are also showing an increasing interest in the program. They, too, are in a position to benefit from CEP as well as the students. Through this program the employer is able to maintain an influx of new talent, while having the opportunity to be selective seeking students with the particular talents he needs, and thus, in this sense, serves as a recruiting device. The Ford Motor Corporation had nearly 700 students from 40 colleges in its original program. There are currently 277 Cooperative Education programs on college campuses all over the nation. The largest Coop Program in Florida is at the University of South Florida. Over 700 students are working on their respective work-study programs. Broward's program is the third largest in Florida involving approximately 100 students over a years time. At the moment there are 34 students involved in the actual working part of the program. During your working term as a Coop student you will be considered a full-time student even if no regular courses are taken. Upon completing your Cooperative assignment, three credit hours will be given to you in CWS 201, 202, or 203. Also during your working term, you will be required to pay only part-time fees for the appropriate CWS course. Another advantage of the Cooperative Program is that male students classified 2S by the Selective Service boards who are on Cooperative work assignments are not subject to military induction during this period since they are for all practical purposes full-time students. The aesthetic advantages of the Cooperative Education Program are numerous. Students find that their studies have greater meaning now that lj.- N l S J, s-unsung-. . ,gf- 2, QW' g A man of many talents, Asistant Director Mlliam Dery even aided Silver Sands photoyaphers covering this story. they can coordinate actual work experience with the classroom study. Actual work experience coupled with the classroom motivates the students with regular income-producing jobs to pay part of their college expenses. lt makes college study possible and also attractive to many qualified youths who probably could not otherwise afford college expenses. If you are interested in applying, obtain an Application for Cooperative Education Program form from one of the guidance counselors or trot on over to the Administration Building to the Coop department office and get one. Then, make an appointment with the Coop office to review your application with one of two coordinators of CEP at Broward, Walt Thomason or William Dery at this time, the coordinator will talk to you about your career plans in order to find for you the best possible coop- erative assignments. Cooperative Education is here for you, student. lt may and sometimes does take time to find an appropriate working position, but the CE people are persistent and concerned about Q.

Turn it off! Sound vaguely familiar? Well all over the country communities are finding an alternate answer to the situation described above. That answer is cable television, which promises to be the next major step, after radio and television in man's progressive drive toward the technological ultimate in modern communication. Cable TV is a system lnot a networkl for bringing in outside television programs to communities where reception of a good number of channels is limited. Thus if an area is fortunate to have a cable TV franchise, then the number of available channels expands greatly. Every channel on the dial can be ultilized. At the same time, because the programming is transmitted by cable a good proportion of faulty television reception such as snow, ghosts, flutter and interference is eliminated, bringing in rich color and sharp, clear images. No household antenna is required, therefore removing the need for another bothersome, unsightly necessity of normal television viewing. South Florida's very first operating cablevision franchise was granted in Plantation on October 28, 1969 to the giant TelePrompTer Cable TV Corporation. Heading the operation is Thomas Crusan, who has temporarily been located in a shopping center on West Broward Blvd. for a little over a year. He eventually plans to build a studio, office and warehouse at the same location when the need for expansion becomes mandatory. lnitiating a cable TV system in any area is a massive undertaking. ln the case of Plantation, the franchise had to be bid for and the purchase went to the highest bidder, which was TelePrompTer. A huge map of Plantation, 50-1 scale lwhich is of tremendous sizel, was drawn up in pieces, especially locating underground obstructions which would effect the laying of cables. This process took months. An engineer then laid out the electronics for the cable system. ln the meantime, Mr. Crusan and company began to search for a centralized spot which would be prime location for an antenna site. However because of Plantation's westward movement in the growing stages, no good land was found, so an antenna was constructed on a tall building which was tall enough to suit cable's purposes. At present, cables have been laid east of the turnpike and north of Broward Blvd. Plans to lay cables from Peters Rd. to Sunrise Blvd. and from US 441 to University Drive lPlantation's boundariesl are set, with a December, 1972 deadline. Any household in Plantation may subscribe to cable TV for 34.95 a month for the first outlet. Installation involves the laying of cables right to your home and the installation of a small device on the back of your television set, free of charge, that in no way involves any optional expensive equipment. Plantation cable started installation customers on November lst, and in a matter of a few weeks installed cables for 30 subscribers with a backlog of another 40 or so. The channel used on these sets is cable channel eight. Because the cable system is on t ground floor, and because ca television is truly a lg mediu lcatering to subscribersl a good de of local origination has been planm for the citizens of Plantation. T initial offerings included Plantati High School football games and Mia , Floridians pro basketball games.No and then local sports highlights th have been planned are covered. F instance a tennis tournament at Jack Gleason's lnverrary Country Club wil Chris Evert and Frank Froehling versi Laurie Fleming and Gardnar Mullo was filmed and offered to a handfl of pioneer viewers. Also in the offi in terms of local origination Plantation city council meetings, sto teletype news, all of which would offered on cable channel thr Channel eight is the public servl channel, offering announcements city functions and other news 1 public interest as well as the spo offerings. Channel nine is a weath channel. Since cable television originated m than 20 years ago, most of i I market reports, Associated Pr 5 1 il l' T lllllllf lV 'lhe lllerllls l 4 l l l 1 llrealesl leelhall Receiver households lwhich include a couple of million peoplel. It is known fact that at least 10'X1 of all television sets in the United States are hooked up to some sort of cable system. The Manhattan cable system has expanded to the point to where it now utilizes 27 channels. How's that for variety! Plantation cable is permitted one wild card channel according to certain state regulations that have been laid down. This wild card channel is any outside channel that is within 150 miles of the receiving antenna, 1 -1 U 4,1 T . I Fx .sf cable TV a co op student leams the tricks of the trade. and in Plantation's case the wild card channel is a Ft. Pierce station. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of cable television is what the future will bring. No one is certain just what direction cable TV will take, but one thing seems certain and that is that most television eventually will be cable television. The Plantation system is one of a number of systems which will be testing a two-way cable. In other words not only will the subscriber be able to receive, but he will also be able to transmit back to the station such extra services as a burglar alarm system, the automatic reading of electric meters and the like will be offered to subscribers perhaps within five years. A device has already been invented which would work similar to the telephone. lt is a key-operated box with pushbuttons similar to a telephone. Imagine yourself or your wife at home watching a special program on TV, say a camera in a supermarket sweeping down every aisle, pointing out priced goods and specials. You can stop the camera at any time from your chair to survey shelves. You've decided on a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a can of creamed asparagus. Now all you do is push up the correct code numbers on your buttons as they have been displayed on your screen and then sit back and wait for confirmation of your purchases. Sound futuristic? About as distant as, say, man on the moon ten years ago? Due to the success of communications satellites as a means of international transmission, the door seems to be ready to be swung open to a world of broadband communication via satellite and cable. ln fact, theoretically, it is possible to form a cable network sewing millions of people across the nation right now by use of earth satellites and microwave technology which involves transporting television signals over hundreds of miles distance. lVlan's future, culturally and educationally, seems destined to shaped to a certain degree by cable television. Communication is the key. Tune in. Turn on. Cable TV. Student Radio Show Brings College to Communi The college and the community: the two have been brought closer this term and much of the credit goes to BCC '72, the weekly radio program produced by Program Manager Bob Whalen, also a BCC student. The sound of soft rock accounts for most of the 60 minutes air time on Sunday mornings, from 10:30 to 11:30, on WSHE-FM, 103.5. The format also includes campus news and interviews with students. And too, WSHE is the only FM station playing rock music in that time slot. According to Mrs. Katherine Spanton, head of the Fladio-TV Department and faculty adviser for the program, BCC '72 is actually a revitalized version of a radio program which Whalen's brother headed two years ago while a student at BCC. After approaching Mrs. Spanton with the idea, Bob then talked with Gene Milner, manager of WSHE, who donated the time.

Vaughan Williams' Christmas Cantata Hodie, I This Dayl, again featur- ing Mr. Harrower. The Broward Sym- phony Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Jimmy Woodle, accompanied the choir. iMr. Cole sang the tenor solos, while Rebecca Langstroth was the soprano soloist.i This term the Concert Choir elected two officers to handle the various problems which invariably arise during the term. Monica Wilson served as President and Joe Accomando served as Vice-President. Miss Irene Horzepa was accompanist. Now for a look at the other half. Mr. Ted Wheeler directed the group known as College Singers. These forty-five singers comprise the other half of the original group. The College Singers' major concert of the term was held on December 7. They performed For Us A Child is Born by Bach. A small selection O1 orchestral instruments accompanied the choir. Mr. Wheeler hopes that the choir will perform more during Term ll, after becoming more established. Miss Sarah Phillips was accompanist for College Singers. College Singers is open to any BCC student who can competently sing a part. Each student has a short audition with Mr, Cole. During auditions? he commented, I listen for voice quality, range, placement ii.e. soprano, alto, tenor, or bassi, And sight singing ability. Next term, all students will register under College Singersg after the term begins, the group will again be divided into two smaller groups. Mr. Cole expects an increase in the number of students enrolling in College Singers during Term ll. He also stated the choirs will probably perform more during Term ll. So any of you students lurking in the hall of the Fine Arts Building between eleven and twelve o'clock on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays will hear the beautiful sounds of music, in stereo yet, as the singers continue to practice for Term ll's concerts. i , UU' , ' ' ,- - .5 ' 5...

True, the department can require that all students enrolled in music courses attend at least eight cultural events, but they cannot make the audience enjoy them. Only the performers can do that. And that is exactly what Dr. Thomas Cavendish and the Kammer Duo accomplished on two successful nights that saw the Lecture Theatre filled with SRO crowds, of both students and people outside the campus. Dr. Cavendish, director of BCC's Chamber Choir, opened the series of faculty recitals on September 24, accompanied by Byron E. Franklin at the piano. The baritone, singing in English and German in the first two sections, enchanted the audience. He completed the first half of the program with what was by far the most popular of the program, temporarily becoming Figaro to sing Largo al factorum from Rossini's The Barber of Seville. The second half of Cavendish's performance rounded out the international sampling. The French were represented by Debussy, Ravel, and Poulenc. Spanish folk songs by Manuel de Falla concluded the excellent program. Byron Franklin organ and music theory instructor at BCC appeared two weeks later with David Snively conductor of BCC s Symphonic Band on clarinet. Together they are the Kammer Duo. Again there was a capacity-plus audience on hand to enjoy the program which was on Octobe performed in New Yorks Ca Hall by the two. Composers from Brahms to Berg represented and that s quite a va There is still a mystery concern: composer of Meditation credit G. Kirkor a Russian. However is no other indication that the actually lived and in fact the R embassy denied his existance Franklin called for inform Russian composers have punishment in the past for A music that was considered western.

Our Jazz Trio, consisting of Jim Conti, on piano, Del Baroni on bass, and Bob Economou on drums, put on some thoroughly entertaining performances which can only be attributed to their obvious talent and blatant self-discipline. Lowell Little should be complimented on his excellent direction and guidance. His eighteen member ensemble performed to standing room only audiences and always provided some thorough entertainment inside the Lecture Theater. David Snively offered us a little class with his Symphonic Band, and another capacity crowd turned up to hear pianist Byron E. Franklin, Jr., and clarinetist Snively perform a smashing bit of chamber music in the Lecture Theater. A worthwhile contribution which cannot be overlooked. Considering the chronic identity crisis under which popular music is currently suffering we have really nowhere else to go but forward. Hopefully, BCC will take part in laying down the future path. x 4 hi. , M. Z '11 V Y 1lsv.,,,.. . I ws-' fm fu-.,,,, Yf f ,. .I , -flew.: ,N flag X'1's'www.,f,,v.N R .

He is sincere in what he is doing and nowadays, his newspaper has a circulation that rivals that of Time. Charges of selling out and copping out are thrown at Wenner every week and l imagine he laughs his way to the bank after each charge. He has proven that to be a success all one needs is to follow one's own instincts and possess a clear conscience. His magazine-newspaper format, combining music reviews, articles, and current news concerning new culture came at a time when we sorely needed an organ of information. By changing it and expanding it, Jann has kept it fresh and alive. Without an exception, rock newspapers are left of center. With the exception of those dedicated to sexual matters, such as Organ, most rock newpapers print revolutionary articles and many have risked a lot for W -1 su-NN publishing documents they consider important. Organ is a weird magazine. Most of its articles have to do with different aspects of sexuality, the stranger the better and usually with a tie-in rock music. I remember the article about Ron Banks, who was interviewed by Howard Pearlstein about his sudden descision to become Angela Douglas. Apparently, Ron got fed up being a guy, shot up some hormores and surprise, Angela Douglas and a magazine Organ, spread. Organ's material is often sordid and more often than not, directed at weirdos not rockers, even though the magazine claims to be a rock publication. I wish l knew what happened to Zygote. My friend Michael worked for them and sent me some copies about a year ago. They were the only ones who published my stories without revision or change. They naturally paid poorly but it was worth it because Zygote was quite excellent. I wrote Michael but apparently they had moved and I have not seen the newspaper around again. Crawdaddy was the first rock culture newspaper, as their logo clearly states. What the logo fails to mention is that the Crawdaddy, now on the market, is hardly the original. Crawdaddy was the brainchild of a very talented genius obsessed with rock and roll music, specially Beach Boys, by the name of Paul Williams. Paul, whom I had the pleasure of meeting a couple of years ago, was an innovator. He was the first to establish a rock newspaper in 1966 and the first to review records as an inegral part of his publication. His version of Crawdaddy was the most esoteric, abstract and hardeto-understand magazine. lt died when Paul decided to retire to a commune to write a book of criticisms, Outlaw Blues, which did not fare well enough to give him the opportunity to write another one. So far, in my opinion, Crawdaddy was the best. After Crawdaddy's premature death and Rolling Stone's sudden acceptance, all magazines were copies of either, though none quite as good as the two originals. One concept which failed miserably was the expensive, well-made Helen Gurley Brown experimental magazine, Eye. For those of you who did not have a chance to see it, Eye was far out. The best photos, the best writers, the very best coverage of the Beatles while they were in New York for Apple and of the Stone's trials. From Frank Zappa to the Nlonkees, most of the people who were involved with rock from 1968 to 1969 were featured in Eye and they were better portrayed in Eye than almost anywhere else. The color was great, it was a monthly and it was a combination of the best of Life, the best of Rolling Stone and just the right pinch of Seventeen to appeal to the chicks, a group that has always been ignored by the male oriented rock press. Chicks or no chicks, Eye folded after some ten editions which l dearly treasure, specially the spread on Cream and the beautiful cover which featured Lennon, all dressed in white and full hopes for Apple, which also proved to be a failure, somewhat. Eye is a very fond memory. Three more newspapers round up the newspaper side of rock press. Changes, Rock the new Crawdaddy, and Fusion could, at times, pass for twin brothers. Lacking the writers Rolling Stone attracts, these smaller newspapers have to rely heavily on articles and random interviews such as the Zappa interview Changes printed last March, which was outstanding. Changes is also a good one for analysis-type articles such as the Dylan pieces published last April, which made Dylan a more believable human being in my eyes. Chang the way, started in 1969 witl fantastic four partner that clar and catalogued all of Dylan s unrel material. That series was excel accurate and written in the clea most intelligent way Rock has not featured long revi its short history. Instead, they managed to capture some of the writers in the business and have tu out such gems as the Oc interview with Ringo Starr. Don Spain by Michael Watts, the inte was later expanded and publish the November edition of Circus has also featured some copyright laws protecting written by Gale Gross and Art Se which was printed May 24, 197 Fusion on the other hand is a waste. Fusion is boring, the fo changes with every issue, the dra are always the same and the pi are usually old. Most of the mag is made up of record reviews and seem to have been written by p with absolutely no knowledge, or of the music. In short, by all m avoid Fusion lt is over- I under-staffed, repetitious and a d bore 9O'X1 of the time The new Crawdaddy is by far the of these. lts style, though hardly original Crawdaddy s style, is -I concise, and highly entertaining.

The publications we ,scussed above can be classified as Ither and not be far from the truth. he publications we are about to cuss have to be definitely classified L magazines. he first of these rock and roll Iagazines has to be Hit Parader, the 'andaddy of all rock publications td, recently, one of the very lousiest. it Parader, under Richard Robinson, as a powerful magazine, full of great Iterviews and long investigative 'ticles. An early series on Chicago Iues is a piece of work I have easured until today. Today's Hit arader is a poor likeness of the Iagazine Richard and his beautiful ife Lisa used to put out. Today's Hit rader consists of some very idiotic ess releases and reviews written by bunch of 12 year olds. With color, the magazine has become a slick magazine and the price has been a loss of quality and loss of integrity on the part of the new editors. Rock and Roll is a funny monster. From Richard's Hit Parader, an excellent magazine, Hit Parader deteriorated into a rag while Hullabaloo, named after one of televisions worst mistakes in programming for kids, changed its name to Circus and became the best slick magazine since the defunct Eye. Circus is simply a fantastic magazine. Even as Hullabaloo, this magazine showed signs of being different. Their layout of the Stones' Beggar's Banquet was excellent as was their coverage of early Cream. Circus' format, color pictures, posters and extensive interviews, is by far the best in the category of magazines. Gerry Rothberg, Circus' editor, shies away from political controversy and this has kept Circus away from circulation trouble. Their news section, Our Back Pages, named after Dylan's song, comprises columns from all over the world to provide a complete coverage of all the happenings for that month. Circus also polls major radio stations in order to provide a comprehensive list of what the nation is listening to. What Circus lacks politically Cream more than makes up for. Cream is newer and Cream is Detroit, with all of Detroit's fighting spirit and all of Detroit's revolutionary balls. Cream has to be considered one notch under Circus, however. Frankly, it lacks coverage of what it earns its livelihood doing, namely rock and roll music. Cream has, more or less, abandoned rock coverage to concentrate on new culture as a whole with rock only as another facet rather than the main subject. Recent articles have been quite varied ranging from a rocking, socking story about the IVIC 5 to a story about the Soledad Brothers. The Soledad story was written as a play, and, strangely enough, it worked beautifully. My library, dating back to 1963, contains the above mentioned collections of Eye, all issues of Rolling Stones, and most of the other publications mentioned. I am sentimental about them. In my chosen profession, they are as useful as a library is to the English student. I can still remember being all choked up when Gloria Stavers, editor of 16, mailed me the copies of her magazine I was so badly lacking. I collect the acceptance letters from the magazines I have written for as well as the rejection slips. That I love rock and roll should be quite obvious. It has provided me with inspiration and has taught me more than forty schools about writing and about living in this world. It must have been written somewhere. I know I have heard it sung.

Wells has an unusual hobby: he likes to listen to sound tracks of films--musical and non-musical. He is especially interested in how the musi- cal background in a non-musical film aids in setting the mood and enables the viewer to build up toward a surprising or perhaps suspenseful action. There is the music of the chase, of love, of adventure, of peace, or tranquility. He feels that the films with no musical background to the sound track present a starkness that some might contend closely parallels human life. He points out that a few films, particularly those of Alfred Hitchcock, have dispensed with musical sound tracks on occasion so that the audience does not have the build-up to a climatic even t. The result is, of course, something of a shock to the viewer. Wells feels that the relationship of the musical sound track of a non-musical film, the story itself, and the events of the film, leads him to wonder what might be the sound track of human life. Certainly, he says. we are caught by surprise in a number of things that occur in our lives. lf there were a musical sound track, we would be built up emotionally and would not be so starkly shocked by those surprising events that from time to time occur in our lives. H The sound track of life, he states, is not for the ear but for the heart. He is convinced that the sound track of human life might well be Love in all its myriad forms. Love, like music, may assume a variety of moods. Wells firmly believes that love is the sound The sound track of life, he states, is not for the ear but for the heart. He is convinced that the sound track of human life might well be Love in all its myriad forms. , Ribs ' 5-. . .1 -. . ew w ',- , . ,., , ' ,jf 1.

Could you discuss the role of sophy in contemporary society? There are several directions in philosophy seems to have been t ntial upon contemporary ves, One is the rise of ntialism, which has had derable influence on the opment of psychology in recent giving rise to the emphasis on ivity sessions, or individual nunication with one another. One ie primary factors emphasized in mporary thought in all fields, in ion to philosophy, has been unlcation. This--it seems to as been a contemporary root phor on the basis of which all les are extended, It is used as the nation and key to understanding ost of the major contemporary ' dly, in social work the decline isintegration of the family is ently explained in terms of a down in communications The lled generation gap seems to be viewed in terms of another down in communication. This l in the view of some sociologists, ' what is called a systems breakg is where a new system of values pathies arise. They give rise to :cations that may appear l l l . 1 . 1 . l I l l, l . i f ecti i 4 V. I . .lems. l I . l l . completely meaningless--from within the system that was predominent previously. What C.P. Snow has called two cultures seems to me to exhibit a third problem in contemporary society, which expresses the idea that there is a breakdown in communication here. C.P. Snow emphasized the loss of communication between two major groups of leaders in the present time, namely the artists, or humanists, and the scientists. Each group is developing its own vocabulary, its own way of expressing ideas, its own set of concepts, to the point where the humanists and the scientists may be able to communicate only on the level of How is the weather? Fine. etc. A fourth breakdown of communication that seems to have arisen as a problem in contemporary society is the loss of understanding between theorists or technologists, and the practical individual. Each is failing to see clearly the role the other plays. A fifth partial breakdown, reflecting a loss of communication to some extent, is within the area of education. This is perhaps a by-product of the generation gap, in which student and teacher may well be speaking languages which are unfamiliar to each other. Young people have made much use of the word irrelevent charging various facets of the so-called establishment with emphasis on values that to the young are irrevelent. The expression now generation seems to emphasize a point that to me is important. That is, if we are speaking of now , many things that may well be very revelent in the present may be totally irrevelent in the future. At any rate, many of the problems which we are aware of in the present are related to-and explained in terms of--loss of communication or a breakdown of it. The resolution of many of these problems would have to be in the area of communication. There has been much emphasis in philosophy upon the analysis of language, using language in a broad sense that encompasses mathematics, as well as ordinary spoken-language systems. The contributions of philosophy in contemporary society in this regard are very great indeed, giving rise to emphasis upon the so-called modern math and perhaps instigating a movement that very likely will occur in the not too distant future--modern grammar. This seems to recognize the inadequacy of these contemporary tools of communication, that may well have lead to the various breakdown in communications, and in turn to many of the contemporary problems in our society. Not only is communication used as a device for explaining, understanding, and seeking to solve contemporary problems, but communication appears in all fields--including philosophy--as a basic idea that nature or reality is like a communication system. This is coupled with stress upon reality as a set of processes, thus giving rise to a process way of conceiving or viewing reality--whether the viewpoint be that of the biologist, the physicist, the sociologist, or pychologist, or the philosopher, For example, sense experience--which for many centuries was explained in terms of pictorial representation--now seems to be viewed as a stream of coded messages. Nlost of the special fields that have emerged during the 20th century have been very closely related to some aspect of communication. The improvement of channels of communication and the diverse nature of these channels, tends to make us view all aspects of nature-- including society and its psychological aspects as being basically one form of communication system or another. The use of communication as a key to understanding nature, as well as explaining the problems of society and the individual, seems to me to give rise to something of a paradox. That is, with this great emphasis upon the acquiring of skills in the spoken and written language systems. This seems to say that communication must be given a new and much more expanded meaning. McLuhan, of course, stresses the importance of the medium or the channel, claiming the process of communication far outweighs the importance of the message communicated. This stress upon communication as a necessary process, as an essential aspect of any reality, seems to me to rest upon a more basic necessary condition. Since communication requires a polar situation, two individuals lor groups of individualsl utilizing a given channel of communication, the necessary condition for communication to be preserved is for channels of communication to remain open. This requires an underlying condition of mutual respect, or love, if you will, between the two individuals or groups of individuals, who are utilizing the channels of communication to communicate with one another. lf the problems of society are indeed breakdowns of communication, it would seem that the unclogging of these channels of communication should be a primary emphasis on attacking these problems. Likewise, however, the breakdown of communication may to a large extent result in a loss of mutual respect between two users of those channels of communication. SS: Do you have a philosophy that today's student could follow? Wells: My answer would have to be a qualified no. lt seems that none of us can expect to find a ready-made system of philosophy that must develop--with aid, guidance and perhaps advice--a philosophy of our own. Certainly suggestions, models and examples can be given for personal study. What can't be done is to philosophize for someone else. The spirit of philosophy emphasizes that autonomy, both in ethics and in reasoning, most accepted, believed, and used in our own lives. By this l'm not trying to say that truth is relative to each individual but rather that x N--X i . wg 'li flu.. . ' . I S f : ff 3 truth--to function for an individual must be intimately recognized and accepted as such by the individual. There are a few things that would seem to be most basic in philosophy, as well as most important in the present time. These are expressed in varying ways to the young of the present, but are also found in philosophies of the past. lt seems that it is most important for any student in his own philosophy to rocognize the continuing need for opening channels of communication with his fellow man. The very least these open channels can do is to enable the student to understand better what his fellow humans believe and value, and to comprehend better what they do. At most, by maintaining open channels of communication, a student acquires a personal expansion of his own, plus a knowledge and wisdom that stems from hearing ideas and beliefs that he had not considered before. So for any philosophy there must be an openness concerning communication with other human beings. SS: ls there any particular philosopher that students today discuss and follow? Wells: There are certainly a number of philosophers, both contemporary and recent who have either directly or indirectly had a tremendous influence upon the student. The philosophers who are referred to as Hexistentialistsu seem to have had either a direct influence or an indirect one--through psychology, in particular--upon the student today. Students have always, as far as I know, been interested in psychological studies. Perhaps this has been primarily as an effort to understand themselves as well as others. In recent times the interest of students in psychology tends to focus more upon existential psychology, in which the individual's isolatedness--or natural alienation, if you will--is principally stressed. Such procedures as sensitivity sessions seem to be aimed at establishing and maintaining communication--though not necessarily verbal- with other people. This is an effort to overcome the naturally isolated egocentric predicament in which each individual finds himself! Also much has been written outstanding individuals inthe time concerning many of the issues of the day. These, too,l a considerable influence upon contemporary student. ln judgement, the writings of Ayn have had a considerable developing the attitudes philosophies of many students. Certainly the Playboy philos Hugh Hefner has had its ir well. Also those novelists who reflected various viewpoint in rightS fT10vement have had via articles and novels con influence upon young people. Those individuals who express viewpoints concerning the e the use of drugs have played some in the lives of many students. The writings, as well, of Marcuse have had their impact least certain areas upon students. These, I think, are a few of contemporary influences that affected today's students. More influences, and for this reason obvious ones, have certainly the view, if not the lives of the The philosophy of Marx, as I and adapted to the Soviet sys also as applied and adapted to Chinese condition, have certainly their impact on all people at present time--including studs have created, in part, many of stresses that exemplify life in present time. Finally, philosophers who influenced both Eff- ' .4 Q of Marxism and of the system, political, social and which give a emphasis ialthough not soi on pragmatism, have more influenced the lives of of today. What do you think of today's ents? sz It seems to me that today's 'ents feel much more stress, a h greater tension, than students in many previous years. Some t to ten years ago this tension or s was reserved to a great extent Uthe graduate student. The stresses l' by graduate students of a decade it seem to have extended their scope influence downward, now not only irting pressure upon the :ergraduate college student, but tt even upon high school students. my viewpoint this increasing stress s in part from the continuing twledge explosion. Certainly it mes less and less reasonable an ectation for a student to come ip close to mastering the knowledge .his time. Knowledge itself is a lplifying process. Our knowledge lcesses are simplifications of the ural processes and realities. if danger, of course, lies in lrsimplification. To many students leems that it should be possible to lplify all facets of contemporary imwledge to very simple sentences. For any philosophy there must be an openess concerning communication with other human beings. The problem becomes one of simplifying just as much as possible, but avoiding the oversimplification that leads to distortion and misunderstanding. Certainly it is not accomplishing nor improving the education of the student to provide him with oversimplified sentences that fail to convey accurate knowledge of the present time. Adding to the tensions of the expanding knowledge spectrum are international and national tension, the perhaps strong desire to escape from the heavy tensions that students feel, has played its part in creating or intensifying contemporary problems. l think the students at BCC are generally very good students. I do not mean by this that they are all exceptional students, but we dp have a number of these, and their number seems to be increasing in proportion, over the past ten years. I find that a number of students begin the study of philosophy with con- siderable background in general read- ing, not only of the philosophers, but of leaders in related fields. However, the number of such students is still relativally small. There is a temptation, it seems to me, that some students exhibit, resulting from a relatively recent shift in placement of responsibility in education, then we must recognize that there is a responsibility form each end of the communicated polarity. Taht is, the student has a responsibility in maintaining and contributing to the communicative process we call edcation. The teacher, on the other end, likewise has a responsibility of maintaining the channels of communication, the dialogue between himself and his students. Some years ago the responsibility seemed to be placed overwhelmingly upon the shoulders of the student. When a student failed in school it as the student's doing. This, I feel, was an inequitable assignment of responsibility for a failure. Yet in recent times it seems that we are tempted to move to the other view, namely that student failure is the result of teacher failure. This also seems to me to be an extreme positon that education cannot live with for very long. Responsibility may vary from situation to situation. At times l'm sure that ir is teacher failure that resulted in student failure. However to use this as a general formula of explaining student failure, namely teacher failure, provides some students with a justification that shiftl the responsibility from their own shoulders. ln my own view the responsibility in any case can only be determined after examining that particular case. In this l'm not trying to to excuse poor teaching and certainly not poor learning in relationship to the srudents. lt seems to me that his is merely providing the student with a way of avoiding learning with a clear conscience. If you ever do plan to go to Ireland as did history teacher Ralph Clark and his family on his sabbatical last year don't expect to find banshees and shallelaghs and little people under every rock. But do expect to find one of the most intoxicatingly friendly cultures in the world. lt's certainly not a big country being only half the size of Florida and having only four and a half million people. But Ireland makes up for lack of size in the fascination the land and people hold over its visitors. The first thing the Clarks lNlr. and Mrs., Son, Alex, and Daughter Carriel learned about the Irish people is that for the most part they still like Americans. Perhaps this is partly due to the fact that it seems every Irishman has some relative living in the United States, and says IVlrs. Clark, They all live in New Jersey as far as I can figure. Such terribly polite, friendly and marvelously mannered people seem such a rarity in our harshly real world, but that is not to say that there are a few baddies. Remarkable few, though. The Clarks stayed in a little town called Navan, the countytown of County Meath. Its about 26 miles north of Dublin, their big city. IDublin may only be about the size of Miami, but take into consideration that about half the phonebook is Dublin.I Navan is at the confluence of the Boyne River and the Blackwater River. The Boyne Valley is terribly Historic and the place is just polluted with ruins. About a mile down the road and just across the river is New Grange. lt's the largest passage grave in the world built about 4000 years ago probably by people from the Minoan civilization from the isle of Crete which was even before the Greek civilization Right outside of Navan is the Hill of Tara where all of the early Irish kings are interred and their great hall once stood there Slane a small town eight miles from the Clark s home is where St Patrick lit the fire on Pascal Eve in 435 A D Just a few miles outside of town the Battle of the Boyne was fought in which William of Orange trounced King James II The Clarks lived in a millhouse during their stay in Ireland It was difficult finding a house that they could rent or set as they say In fact the Navan house was one of three furnished ones available in all of Ireland with modern conveniences While in Ireland Mr Clark worked with the Irish Georgian Society He IS very expertise on the subject of Irish History Carrie and Alex continued their education In Irish schools and found it to be quite an experience Such courses as Irish language and elocution are typical The arts are stressed. Carrie especially enjoyed elocution where they had to learn such clever drills as creep to sleep teeny sheep. Eliza Doolittle move over! A student in an Irish school can get 100 s in every course he takes but if he cannot pass Irish he cannot go to college. The high schools go through the tenth grade where the student may either drop out enter a vocational school or he may take a test called h's inters and upon passing may finish his final two years of high school. The Irish refer to these two years as college. If you pass these two years you may then go on to a university with your leaving certificate . The schools are still segregated pretty much into male a female Almost all of the schools a Catholic run Carrie went to a Cathol school for nothingbecause all t schools are all supported by t taxpayers The actual conflict betvve Protestants and Catholics in Republic of Ireland Inot Norther Irelandl is almost nil There are so feelings of resentment but practlcall no outward reaction 956 of t republic is Catholic and they represe the working class for the most pa The Protestants however tend to b more affluent when considered as group Protestants in Ireland are call l Anglo Irish because of their historic and religious connections It is lronl because there are some Anglolrls who have been in Ireland since 110 Essentially what it all means is that II Ireland they are considered Engli and in England they are consider Irish Reason when Henry VIII spll from Rome most of the gentry ant upper class of Ireland had to becom Episcopalian IAnglicanI or they woule have lost their land. So when they dit convert it was more than likely fo political reasons. Lord Fingle and th Plundett family are Catholic but the are very few Catholic nobles todas because they were so persecuted an had to hide. They were not permitt to go to school in the British Isles bu instead had to go to France Spain a Italy. Very few hung through it. Sl today the discrimination against th Protestants in Ireland is subtle perhaps a little more obvious amon, the young people. Americans a considered neither Protestant nc Catholic but just American. I There is something very enigmat .Q about the Irish religious beliefs. Ther I ilrelanhz 4 istnrg mth n il ,l, Ilzxghti mth Qiluhs curious misture of early Christian anism and modern Christisanity. any of the old churches have fertility 'nbols and there are many Celtic sses with Romanesque twinges here there. The Irish are very erstitious. This is probably why :land is famous for its legend and yths. They love rituals. Some of the sh are to a certain extent ti-clerical. There is a slight pvement away from the church. The ichbishop of Dublin stated publicly at if any Irish used contraceptives birth control pills that would be a rse on them. Mrs. Clark went to a nman dentist shortly after and asked r opinion of what the archbishop d said about the pill. She said, I ink he's a senile old fool! And she as a good County Cork Catholic lone the best kindsl. What it all boils nwn to is that they have their faith, d they have the hierarchy. The urch in Ireland is connected with ltionalism and patriotism. However, :cause the hierarchy of the Catholic 1urch in Ireland has sided with the 'itish in past disputes between eland and England, many are not ippy with it. or a time the Clarks rented an Irish Jttage out in the County Clair. It was 'pically Irish, thatched roof and all. he first night they were there, they ere awaken by a funny noise outside ,ieir window. lt was a sort of HOWOMPI It turned out to be a herd f cows out in their yard eating grass. leland is a big dairy country. There le sheep, cows and pigs all over the lace. You can't drive fast on the Dads, because, not only are they very ivisty, but at any time you may turn corner and find yourself plowing ito 200 sheep being driven along the nad. It is honestly not too unusual to see herds of cattle being driven right through downtown Dublin. These farmers and a good percentage of the people are for the most part very poor. There is no running water out in the country. There are pumps along the road. Its a little like Jamaica north with ladies walking together to the pumps. The cottages they live in are very poor according to our standards. They survive though on subsistence farming. In other words, they don't have much cash, but they've got their lettuce, and they know how many chickens you have to keep to raise a family of four. They eat well but have few luxuries. One luxury all Irish indulge in though is sweets. It would seem that they spend half of their money on chocolate and candy. They are so poor in products especially that if you want a lamp you have to buy a lamp and plug separately and put it together yourself. The striking thing about 902 of lreland's consumer goods is that they are from England. The Irish are so inextricably united with England in a trading way that it would be impossible for them to go it alone. For instance, when England ioined the Common lVlarket, it was just accepted that Ireland would join the Common IVlarket. The tourist trade has dropped off considerably since the troubles in Northern Ireland, and that has hurt quite a bit. They have disliked the British and God knows that they've had 80 years to dislike them, yet they can't do without them. Its more or less a love-hate relationship. Many Irish work and live in England, and just come back. The Irish rarely entertain in their T RHVEL Have you ever wanted to just drop everything and go as fast and as far as possible: Even the most stolid of us have entertained such a notion at least once or twice in our lives, and following we have six people inot necessarily stolidl who did just that . . . dropped everything lsometimes quite literallyl and went.

G Q ' I w--57-1 x U ' 'Q -B-1... , L fu homes. All of the visiting and entertaining that is done goes on in the pubs. The pubs are not like swinging singles bars, but they more or less are like community centers. Admittedly the Irish drink an awful lot lnonstop you might sayl, but they don't drink the way we do. Much of the stigma of drinking is removed, and you simply might have a drink, or a jar as the Irish say, the way we might have a coffee break. They don't all get drunk lor jarred upl. It would not be uncommon, for instance, to go down to the pub say at 10:30 in the morning and see sweet little old ladies in their fifties and sixties with their cute little shopping bags and their perfect little hats on, sitting there having a littlejar while chatting. People go to the pubs from about 78 down to 15. There is also a very definite etiquette in the pubs. lf you offer to buy someone else a drink, it is completely understood that they will offer to buy you one. When you go into a neighborhood pub you are introduced around. You wouldn't go into a pub unless you knew the owner. And when Mrs. O'Connell introduces you around you shake hands with everybody. When you leave you shake hands with your hostess and thank her. On Sundays Mass is over at 12 0'clock, and the entire congregation ---sssshhooong! right to the pub. Then they close again at two for the holy hour. And you might see Lady Gwendolyn Hoggett-Egberry right in their with Patty. The dowdier and frumpier they are the richer they are. By right you are not supposed to drink until eighteen, but nobody pays too much attention to the law. One might get involved in a drunken brawl and get charged five pounds. And if you corne from a good family and its your first offense, they usually let you off. Rarely do you actually see police in Ireland much less a police car. They're sports mad. That is one thing you can say for the Irish. They love sports. The horse races go on all year long. In the EQ Times the sports follow the local and national news lwhich are one in the samel on pages two, three, four, and five. ln the wintertime, they have the steeplechase, and in the summer, flat racing. There are many, many race tracks all over Ireland, because they ' Mr. Uark visits favorite spots of typical Ireland. race on grass instead of asphalt. However the grass only holds up for a few days, so they move around to different tracks. The racing and betting in Ireland like drinking doesn't carry any of the stigma that it does here. Literally everybody goes to the races as there is no age limit. All betting is legal, in fact those who handle bets are in a perfectly legal and respected business. They are referred to as turf accountants rather than bookies. You can bet about eight different ways on the races, and it can all get rather complicated. Even little kids can bet on the horses. They have showing bets which are 126 each. Why infact I have it from a very reliable ten-year old that the bookies of Navan are much more considerate of their customers than elsewhere in Ireland. Hmmm. They all know the horses. They're like baseball stars here. However, they have no bowling. Double hmmm. One of the fascinating subjects of interest that lVlr. Clark found in Ireland were the follies. A folly is very difficult to define. They are sculpted masterpieces that were constructed during the starving times in Ireland that kept the workers busy, and served no useful purpose whatsoever. Really, though, every folly has its own story and sometimes its own purpose. One man had a folly constructed because he believed that after he died he would be reincarnated as a fox. So the folly resembled a fox's home and had all the comforts of a fox's home. Follies can be found all over Ireland. One of the most famous follies is at Castletown, the largest private home in Ireland. There are all kinds of weird stories about strange eccentrics having their own personal follies built. Fleming's Folly was built very, very high so that Fleming could climb it, and watch his son who was away at sea. The locals generally know the stories to each folly and will gladly tell them if you ask. Whether you go to Donegal where they make the carpets, Waterford where they make the glass or Balik where they make the pottery, Ireland is for all who wish to experience it. The Clarks have been to the Emerald Isle which is truly green all year round, and they have caught the fever. They will be back. How about you?

For those of us who do not know, it is an official leave of absence from teaching, usually lasting a year. During this time, the instructor receives half pay from the school. His only obligation while he is gone is that he better himself in some way, so that upon his return, he will be an even more valuable asset to teaching. Each person utilizes his sabbatical in a different manner: some go back to a university for further instructiong others do advanced research in their field. ln the case of lVlr. Albert Will, he chose to travel. lvlr, Will is a Botany instructor here at Broward Community College. His specialty is Tropical Horticulture and Tropical Botany, This is primarily the study of flowers, fruits, and ornamental plants of the tropics. Representing the University of Florida Agricultural Experiment Division, he traveled throughout the South Pacific, Indonesia, Asia, and Europe as a cooperate of their plant introduction program. lHe really did travel--his airline ticket alone was close to S2,000.l The main purpose of the trip was to study plant ecology and collect specimens of plants unknown to the United States. However, his journey turned out to be much more exciting than anyone had imagined. lVlr. Will made his first stop on this fantastic voyage at the British Honduras. There he spent ten days, traveling down the Balise River and collecting plants in the jungles. He did find one plant of significance--thi Baboon Cap, a small tree with ali edible yellow fruit. From the Honduras, he flew to Guatemala City,l and then on to Los Angeles for alll overnight stay. The next morning, hal took a 747 to Hawaii. A friend, whol met him at the airport, had arrangedl special room rates on beautiful Waikikll beach. lVlr. Will spent the following tenl days studying the tropical fruits,l visiting the Foster Botanic Gardens,t and being a typical sight-seer.l However, before he left, he did makel one important contribution: het instigated new seed-swapping I contacts between Hawaii, Australia,l and New Guinea. Now, these lands arel exchanging seeds from various exotic! plants in an effort to grow them in' their own country. l t I? V l I .-Q-, . , I My I l I liter Hawaii, he moved on to Papeete, l lihiti. This very lush, tropical island inas been spoiled by the tourists, icording to Mr. Will. lt is now so immercialized, that it has lost the tlendid atmosphere that it used to ve with the native Tahitians. At ie time, Tahiti possessed such a liautiful innocence that the famous augin spent many years painting the ndsome natives. However, lVlr. Will H I I itested to the fact that immercialism has not spoiled the llomen. Tahitian women are lrsolutely gorgeous. litile in Tahiti, Mt. Will had the llidance of Robert Brown, a native of lb island. Together they attended a 'ihitian Tamara, which is a feast f ewhat similar to the Hawaiian IV au. The food at such an event is ilquisite. The people begin by digging fhuge pit, which they line with hot ya rocks and then cover with leaves, ld surround it with vegetables, Padfruit, taro, and kasava.

In effect, they have built ifire on the top and bottom of their This process has the effect of a 'Iessure cooker, and a whole feast is ibily prepared and ready to eat in one ly' I liter spending the day with Bob's mily, lVlr. Will resumed his travels by ilading for Bora Bora. This primitive land was recently spotlighted by a ational Geographic Special on levision. Mr. Will toured Bora Bora I one of the island's 21 automobiles, ii its only road, which runs around lie perimeter of the island. I I He next stop for our traveling lptanist was American Samoa. He iinained there just one day, as the vices at the only hotel on the island ere outrageous. Some people staying the hotel suggested that he go on Western Samoa, a small dependent country of only two ands. After arranging this detour on S airline ticket, Mr. Will boarded a vposite: costume making for Balinese ncers and mask pointing in New Guinea,- 'p.' hand grating coffee in Java: Middle: Iage chief on Savii in Western Samoa,- 'lf0I7l.' local market in Central Java. I I H l-I id s K I 'N a DC-3 to Western Samoa. These small aircraft do not have pressurized cabins, and it is therefore necessary to fly at low altitudes. Out of curiosity, Mr. Will was periodically checking his altimeter to see at what elevation they were flying. lHe must always carry an altimeter to check elevations when collecting plants.l Sitting next to him was a Samoan, who soon became quite intrigued with the behavior of his neighbor. Naturally, the native had never seen an altimeter. This prompted a conversation lthe Samoans speak a halting Englishl, and by the time they had landed in Apia, Western Samoa, lVlr. Will had received an invitation to attend a threeday feast at the village of his Samoan friend. The native had been in American Samoa buying supplies for this banquet, in particular, he had purchased canned salmon, a great delicacy in the eyes of the natives. Mr. Will accompanied his friend, who was a talking chief of his village, to the island of Savai'i. This turned out to be one of the most interesting highlights of his journey. The Samoans possess a culture that has somehow remained comparatively untouched by the outside world. Mr. Will commented that he had never seen a happier group of people anywhere on this trip. These are what we call the underprivileged, backwards nations. Well, they don't need help. Leave them alone and they'll be far better off. The Samoan way of life is very simple. They do not work, their whole day is spent gathering and preparing food. They have adapted a style of communal living, helping each other build homes, sharing food, etc., and therefore they have no need for money. The people live in open-sided tale lhousesl that have a thatched roof supported by poles. When it rains or the sun is too bright, they roll down plaited palm leaf blinds. Most Samoans wear the traditional lava-lava, a 6 ft. piece of cloth wrapped around the waist like a skirt. Some women also wear hand-made blouses with their lava-lava. Throughout the entire trip, lVlr. Will always lived with the natives, ate local food, and obeyed their respected customs. ln Western Samoa, he made no exception. He wore a lava-lava, and ate all that was given him at the ensuing three-day feast. During his stay at Savai'i, many interesting things happened to Mr. Will. Perhaps the most flattering were the two proposals of marriage he received from the chief's daughters. However, the other Samoans proved equally intriguing. Faleao, the talking-chief that brought Mr. Will to the island, was in his estimation, the best con man I have ever met in my life. Before I left, I had to buy a couple of lava-lavas, one of which he got, plus he conned me out of a pipe, a tobacco pouch, and some tobacco. The people, on the whole, were warm, friendly, and quite fascinating. Mr. Will made a contribution to the Samoans as well. One morning he awoke to find the big chief moaning in misery, due to large boils all over his back. This chief was in his seventies, and being very proud, he had refused to go to the hospital for help. Nlr. Will had some salve with him, which he convinced the chief to rub into the boils. This alleviated most of the pain. The chief was very grateful, and to show his appreciation, he officially made Mr. Will his son. This is a great honor-- only being elected chief of the village could have been higher. In recent times, there has been only one white man to receive the tribute of chiefdom, and he was a Peace Corps worker. Indeed, Mr. Will was presented with one of the most gracious honors the Samoans had to offer. Next country on the agenda for our busy ecologist was Australia. This was a major point of collection for Nlr. Will, as he spent five weeks with a friend of his in Cairns, North Queensland. His friend, who was a famous taxonomist, identified all the plants lVlr. Will sent back from the jungles. The Cairns' Botanic Gardens supplied guides for these excursions into the wilderness. All in all, Mr. Will felt that this was a very successful part of his journey. He was able to send back thirty to forty plants to the United States, most of which are now growing heartily at the University Florida Agricultural Experime Station in Davie. These species, whi are new to tropical Florida, have excellent chance of surviving an becoming an accepted part- of o landscape. Numerous plants which a native to North Queensland, Australi are already commonly used ornamentals here in Florida, such a the weeping bottle brush, t malaluka, and the Oueenslan umbrella tree. Australian plants hav such a high success rate in the Stat because Australia is as close to th United States as you can get. The soil l climate, and rainfall are very similar t what we have here. Deciding that he had completed all hi work in Australia, Mr. Will obtain a 30-day visa for New Guinea. First he toured Port Morrisby, spending fiv days in the local marketplaces a nearby mountains. Then he went t Lai, his home base for the next f weeks. New Guinea is an impenatrable mountainous island. The foliage IS extremely dense, and many times th only way through the jungle is to walkl up the stream beds. Due to the density! of the jungle, New Guinea has remained a primitive, isolated land fort centuries. The jungles are loaded wit l native tribes that are still hostile they're cannibals, headhunters. -1 matter what the government says, andl they say there aren't any such trib left, I saw some quite fresh skull sitting outside the entrances to variousi huts in the jungle villages. From New Guinea, Mr. Will traveled tcl various areas in search of unusuai plants. In what little jungle was left ir' Bali, lVlr. Will did some collecting. He then took a plane to Bogor, where he gave lectures to the biological staff ot the University and Bogor Botanic Gardens. The director of the Gardens: being quite pleased with lVlr. Willi asked for his help in designing thv National Flower Garden 81 Culture Center to be built in Djakarta.

He then headed for Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, where he spent I week collecting in the jungles. However, another project now awaited 'llr. Will, so he was off to a rendezvous 'fith a friend of his in Bankok, . hailand. The agricultural center in ,lorth Thai had long been trying to row apples without success. They felt hat perhaps they were too close to he equator for apples lN lat 17ol, yet hey desperately wanted a crop the hill ribes could grow instead of opium.

Will had ieen apples growing in Java, which is is close to the equator as Thailand, so lie outlined their successful 'apple-growing operation for the Thais. ie also got them a contact in Java, o that if they ran into any difficulties, they would have someone to help. Because he was so instrumental in this broject, lVlr. Will has received an lnvitation from the Thai government to return at their expense when the lapple program has been instated. Our botanist again was recipient of a great honor. l s v l l l i lT0p.' Against an impressive background, natives of North Java tend their daily task of weeding the rice paddies.

Fabrice Ziolkowski's big adventure, if you will, began the night of one of the big concerts here at BCC. He met a friend of his who was going to Europe, they got to talking, she told him about how much it would cost, he told his father who was intrigued by the idea, and who paid his way over. We went the cheap-o way by Bahama Airways. He said, From Miami to Nassau, from Nassau to Luxembourg, which is almost right in the middle of Europe, between France, Belgium, Germany .... it's a very small place more like a Canton than a country. He stayed there two days waiting for a friend, and when he arrived, they began hitchhiking to France, going to the place where Fabrice's mother once lived, a 160 mile hitchhike. We made pretty good time. Fabrice admits, we started about eleven, and got there around six at night, but the next day was horrible. We did about ten kilometers in about four hours, and we walked seven of those. All in all, Fabrice spent forty-five days in Europe and visted France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, and England. His last two weeks were spent in London, which was his favorite spot. Everyone's so free .... He said, Here there's too many hang-ups. You can walk there at night without being afraid of getting hit on the head .... you can't do that in New York. London's dingy as hell, but there's always something to do. Theatres, movies, concerts---you never get bored. You look in the paper and there's about fifty movies playing, and plays. We saw Waiting for Godot, The Menagerie: Waterloo, and A Traffic Convert. All of those only cost us about a dollar each, and like Waiting for Godot was playing at the Young Vic Theatre, and we saw Sir Laurence Olivier, so it wasn't shoddy entertainment. Compare that to here, people, where you can't get into raunchy horror flick at the drive-in for less than a dollar-fifty. over...according to American standards that is. Wages are lower there, so it all works out. He said. A hotel will cost from three to four dollars a night, and food can be a dollar to a dollar-fifty if you really want to splurge. The most expensive place was Amsterdam, because of all the tourists. Girls? lt depends on the country whether they date or not. Like in Italy, all the girls are dynamite. They always manage to fix themselves up nice, no matter what the occasion, always very well dressed. They're always chaperoned too. English Girls? In England they spend a lot of time on studies. They date a lot, but not as much. Getting around is a big problem. lt's expensive to own a car. What about dating activities? A European Trave -Student Styl lot different. You do things like youl go dancing---waltzes. lt's okay in larger! cities, because there's much to do, bu in smaller towns, you've got to hav a car to get anywhere. He was very impressed with the' European educational system. Coming out of high school over there is like coming out BCC. He said, I came here from Canada five and a half years ago, where I went to a French private school. When I was in eighth grade I had eleven subjects---History French Literature, Geography, Nlath English Gym, Drawing, Music, Latin French--I used to go to school from the morning to five at night. And when you're a senior in highl school, you learn things like Aristotle e Philosophy---really high class stuff. When I came here, I thought it wasl a party. l'm two years ahead, because of it. I'Il be eighteen when I graduate from here. I think that's why Europeans are so much more mature. The parents look upon the kids more as people than' kids. They recognize that they'rei human at a much earlier age than they do here, so obviously, the kids mature a lot earlier than they do here. Europe seems to be a lot more: culturally minded than America-- Likel movies...in America, who ever heard ofl 'Wild Strawberries'? You go see thingsl like lVl.A.S.H. :fl I as ii ,5 ,l .I l .

The people pay a tax so there's no advertisements. The programs start at four in the morning and go to eleven at night or so. They have to present a lot of high class stuff. You get programs there that would be on Channel 2 here. Are people friendlier in Europe? It depends. Like in France, some can be real friendly, some of them can be pretty grouchy. In England, everyone is friendly. They help you if you don't know where you are...ln Amsterdam they're really friendly too. In Switzerland--they're more like the French. tomb.

Steve's forty-hour marathon drive across the country had taken me only five hours. Flying saved time, but I would have liked to see more than mere glimpses of the land passing far below me. As dusk fell, Julie and I boarded a two-engine prop plane for the final stretch of the journey. Durango appeared suddenly as a few scattered lights in the middle of wide-open country. lt's amazing that a pilot can find an airport at night that consists of only one runway and a small onestory building. Most of the other passengers were also Institute bound. We rode the remaining steep and winding eleven miles to Ft. Lewis college by bus, while gazing down upon the lights of Durango. lt's strange to see snow in June, but it was all a part of the environmental walk which followed Sunday morning seminars. This field experience was a bus trip into the mountains to compare the types of vegetation found at three different altitudes. When we reached snow-covered Molas Pass laltitude-10,000'l, students from all over the country hurried off the buses to take a closer look. It was one of the first experiences that brought us closer together. The bus trip to Mesa Verde National Park the next day was unforgettable. We covered miles of hairpin curves along the edges of sheer cliffs that overlooked paintings and dropped into oblivion. We sat in a stone amphitheatre and heard about the Pueblo Indians and the cliff dwellings that had been their homes. The largest of these, the Cliff Palace, is located in the park. lt is a sprawling, multi-storied adobe structure of 123 rooms. Nestled beneath an overhanging cliff, it is well-preserved. What surprised me most was that I had stood on the overhanging cliff earlier, unaware that the Cliff Palace was located right below me. After the Tuesday morning seminars, we rode to the Southern Utes Reser- vation. We learned from one of the Utes that while the tribe has a genuine desire to adapt to tvventieth-century living, they are a people proud of their Indian heritage. They showed us sev- eral dances, and we didn't leave until we had taken part in a dance. Institute Early Wednesday morning, we met at the railroad station to board the only narrow gauge train in the U.S. We were bound for Silverton, an isolated mining town about fifty miles from l n .Il i. I Durango. The trip took four hours, and was worth every minute. The tracks ran along the swiftly-running Animas River, often only a frothing mass of rapids hundreds of feet below. There were waterfalls, avalanche tracks, snowcapped mountains, abandoned mines, and a lot of friendly people. Most impressive was the undisturbed wilderness. I captured as much of the paradise as l could on film, but not without paying a small penalty. In my picture-taking enthusiasm, I rode on the platforms between the cars, and returned to Durango covered with soot. A mud slide cancelled the archaelogical dig schdeuled for Thursday. The alternate plans for a trip to a power plant didn't seem too appealing to the four people from South Florida. We made our own alternate plans. At 6:00 the next morning, we stole to the parking lot in the semi-darkness. Assuring ourselves that we had left undetected, we set out in high spirits. Our first stop was at the Four Corners National Monument, which is the meeting place of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. After a long 'l ft li Ki ry. l fl ill ,t W. t 'l t I l ,it xi it I I l l I I l ide through the Painted Desert, we eached the Grand Canyon's South im. The San Francisco Mountain ange stood out in the distance. Given nother day or two, our tour of the est would have also included alifornia. ords alone cannot describe the rand Canyon. Pascal once wrote that an is a minute insect in relation to he universe. As I stood on the edge f the Canyon, I realized just what an nsignificant being man is. At the same ime, I appreciated the frightening randeur of that massive sculpture. Its eauty is translated into a feeling. s we drove along the winding South im road, beams of the late afternoon unlight descended through pine ranches, enhancing the vivid orange Ioring of the canyon walls. he towering rocks of Monument alley stood out sharply against a usky sky. A full moon rose over the esolate land, creating an eeriness that ccompanied us during the long drive ack to Durango. We returned wearily enty hours after the excursion to he Grand Canyon had begun. ur stay in Durango was also ighlighted by such speakers as Dr. shley Montagu, Dr. Robert W. Baird, irector at Harlem Haven House, Dr. ollo May, and Dr. Richard Beidleman f the American Institute of Biological ciences. Each spoke of some aspect of ecology, the theme of the Institute. Every person who attended the Institute brought a different part of the country, and was willing to share it with others. We learned a lot from other people, and friendships developed from a sense of sharing a good experience. Many faces will never be seen again, but will long be remembered as part of the Honors Institute. They are intermingled with memories of bus rides, a melodrama, Durango the Cliff Palace, and the train trip to Silverton. The distance between coasts is great, and there is still a lot of natural beauty between them that man has not destroyed. The week in Durango brought the coasts closer together and the land became our own. Sieve Humphries Cruising across the U.S. of A. in a sky- blue Maverick, touching a gross of states in as many days. America, of purpled majesties and fruited plains? Perhaps. America the beautiful? Well, it depends on where one looks. Beauty can be found in both the land and the people. Each have their startling variances and each compliments the other. Crossing this country via the southern route enables one to see a wide variety of landscape and people, from the orange fields of palmy Florida to the delta flats of the Mississippi, to the vast rolling hills of Texas, dotted with mantis-like oil pumps, to the snowy peaks of Colorado. One is struck not only by the countryside, but also by the people who live on it. The deep south Georgia sheriff, the dirt-poor black Louisiana farmer, the drawling Texan, and the sun-darkened mountaineer of the sky-country. All make up a part of the country. It is impossible to describe the look of ecstatic delight written on the face of a Mississippian girl who sees snow for the first time..the joyous laugh of uninhibited pleasure of being splattered by a chorus of snowballs. Nor can words match the awe that wells in the heart of a New York City boy that gazes on the immensity of openness instead of the steel canyons and concrete rivers. The Colorado night brings the stars within finger's touch...a myriad of lights that silhouettes the green sheathed mountains. The supremity of love between a man and woman is unrivaled when shared beneath a canopy of pine-scented boughs. It is haloed by the Colorado night with its dashes of lights that brighten the dark sky. And for those who traversed the Painted Desert for a glimpse at the fabled hole in the ground that some call the Grand Canyon, there can be nothing more disquieting than realizing the vastness of it all, and the oldness of those rainbow-streaked canyons. Humanity is humbled and glorified. The Phi Theta Kappa Honors Institute brought together such people. Young adults from around the country came to learn, and each gained some new experience in life, Tacoma, Washington, Biloxi, Mississippi, New York City, New York, Elizabethtown, North Carolina, Dallas, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, are but a few of the places brought together. Interactions and friendships began at once. Places, experiences, were all shared by these select few. That is not to say that they are an exception. This is the rule among people, expecially of youth. Eagerness to experience, to devour the new, all are keynotes. For me, it is hard to relate the genuine conradeships that were born those brief crisp June days in the mountains of Colorado. Old people, young people, famous people, and those not-so-famous joined together as one foratime, Perhaps it is like making love, there is interest stimulated, an intermingling of personalities, and a climatic program of experiences, with the after thought that maybe it can be recaptured permanently. It left me with one thought. America is not the land of the free nor the home of the brave. America is people bonded together by land, land that has given them a feeling of oneness. Undoubtedly, there will be those who cannot treat all men equally, who are jealous of what they have, but each has a bit of this oneness within, waiting .... If in doubt, go cruising. 1 We -' .V ' gbgtgzw . M: , v V , - .. V 'lingo f a -Zag K.

According to Frank Pinzino, a sophomore at BCC, it's driving, visiting, touring, hitchhiking, sightseeing, camping, hiking, roughing it in a van, spending as little money as possible and working at Yellowstone National Park. Frank and his chick, Deb, left Hollywood April 30, after final exams, with their only obligation to be at Yellowstone June 11. In West Palm they picked up Carol, who was also going to work at Yellowstone at Mammoth Hot Springs. At Ocala National Park, they camped, hiked, canoed and did some diving before beginning their four month tour of the U.S. The next week was devoted to visiting old friends at Catholic University in Washington, D.C.5 John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland: his father was transferred to Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, near the Poconos, Loyola University, Chicago, where Frank used to attend. Milwaukee, University of Wisconsin, Lacrosse State University in Wisconsin, where they camped overlooking the Mississippi Valley and finally to Yellowstone. By this time Yellowstone was covered with about 15 inches of snow and ice. The mountains everywhere were the most beautiful l'd seen anywhere so far, reminised Frank. Frank got a job, which consisted of driving a supply and linen truck around the park to different locations. This enabled him free time to hike and see friends. The best job l ever had! The other workers in the park were the most fantastic gathering of beautiful people from all over the U.S. We made so many friendships, stated Frank. Recreation included hiking, mountain climbing Iclimbed seven mountainsl, camping, trout fishing, scenic drives, the usual consumption of sightseeing attractions, such as Old Faithful, Yellowstone Falls, Grand Canyon, Hot Springs, geyser basins, swimming and HAPPINESS IS WORKING AT YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK BCC Student Frank Pinzino's Four Month Marathon As Told to Silver Sands' Writer Barbara Gravbeal occasionally heading into small Montana towns for a glance at city life. As far as food was concerned, there was no need for restaurants. They used a Coleman stove while on the road, and a campfire whenever possible. Water could be found almost anywhere. The streams and rivers were ice cold and clean. They preferred their food to that of the cafeteria. A couple of times they thumbed to Grand Teton National Park. Over 22 of its peaks are over 10,000 feet in elevation. They're the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen. The other workers in the park were the most fantastic gathering of beautiful people from all over the U. S. They then took off four days to go to California, over the Rockies, past Great Salt Lake, the Bonneville Salt Flats, the Sierras, Sacramento Valley, on to San Francisco. ln San Fran, the neatest city, according to Frank, they took in the Golden Gate Park, Golden Gate Bridge, Telegraph Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Haight-Ashbury, Mill Valley, the Japanese Tea Gardens, rode the cable cars and hiked along the rocky coast. The travel bug bit again and Frank quit his job to see more. He covered old favorite spots and places he'd missed in Yellowstone. Then he trucked on to South Dakota, where he saw the Black Hills, which were unreal g Mt. Rushmore, an amazing masterpiece , Custer State Park, wildlife everywhere , and the Badlands, which were so unique and beautiful . Back to Yellowstone l You just couldn't tear yourself away frolm there, it was so much a part of you. l Frank then thumbed to Glacier National Park in Montana. He backpacked over 50 miles. The scenery all around was beautiful. One trail crossed over a dozen glaciers. Frank recalled snow skiing with his boots. One final good-bye to Yellowstone and friends. Once again, the Grand Tetons were visited, where they did about 30 miles in a couple of days. Then they drove to Rocky Mountain Park in Colorado, where they hiked and drove around. There they had very well conducted naturalist programs commented Frank. After leaving the park, they stopped at the University of Colorado in Boulder to look around. lt was a beautiful campus . On to Denver for four days, where they visited and toured the Mint, conservatory, Cherry Creek Reservation, Capital Building and Larimer Square, with all the old time shops. Back on the road again, but this time the destination was home the long way. Stops were Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago and the suburbs, where Frank has relatives and old friends, back to Vvilkesbarre to see his father and rest for a change, Staten Island to visit Deb's relatives and take in Manhatten, Brooklyn Bridge and of course took the Staten Island ferry. The trusty van then chugged along the Hudson River upstate into the Catskills, where they stayed with friends and enjoyed the trees and hills, which were everywhere. We found straight people out west, except the cowboys, who tended to be more liberal than the mid-vmesterners and the Sou therners. T ' 1 1 All that was left unaccomplished n ' , was the drive home.

How's everything John? Fine, Jody and I are leaving tonight. Can we give you a lift as far as Oklahoma City? Can you be ready by six? Wow! Of course! See you then. That's how my trip started. I have known John Whitton for years, and I knew the trip was going to be a success. Packing three pairs of pants, five shirts, towel, soap, razor, 13 rolls of film, telephoto lens, pen and paper in a borrowed suitcase, grabbing my camera and filling my green field-jacket pockets with pleasantries, I was ready to go. I almost forgot that one does need money for such an adventure. Somehow I had managed to save S140 over the last year. After saying quick goodbyes, we were off. For a few hours we discussed our llast year at Broward, then the hypnotizing effect that driving at l70MPH up Florida's turnpike has on one s psyche took over. All of a sudden lone finds himself thinking about ihimself in relation to our times, such as poverty. I did a term paper on the Job Corps which brought to the surface that where a person is, is not solely a function of his own design. My own situation was a confirmation of that fact. and Back Again We had been driving for what seemed like years, looking at the countryside. When is the South going to wake up? It was now afternoon and we were in Montgomery, Ala.: on the back window of the car in front of us was a Peace Sign. A smile came to our faces. It had somehow made it through the RED mud that is typical of the South. Oddly enough, we came to some road construction ahead. We were ready to stop for the night when we spotted the KOA campgrounds, a clean, friendly and cheap place to stop. It offers pool, showers, food to you, water and electricity for your van. Q.

I turned on the radio to see if there was something besides the deep country sound that had plagued me everytime I had traveled in the South. Progress iwho am I to sayi has been made, James Taylor's voice in, lf You Need A Friend could be heard. A smile came over our faces again, a smile that is the result of elation over knowing that our generation was starting to have an effect. After taking hot showers and eating dinner cooked outdoors, we found ourselves very relaxed. Earlier I had noticed California plates on a car in the campsite next to ours. I walked over and asked if they had any spare matches, which opened up the conversation between fellow travelers. He was a mechanical engineer who had worked at and had gone to Cape Kennedy to see what the communitive effort of thousands of other people like himself could do if they had a goal. I smile again, telling of our destinations and relating what I saw of Appollo 14. It was getting late so we said good night. My sleeping bag ll thank John for havings lots of camping geari was laid out on top of the table. I slipped into its womb, keeping my head out to look at the stars, and floated off somewhere to a very nice part of my mind. Good Morning. What would you like for breakfast? How does french toast with butterand syrup, bacon, orange juice, and coffee sound? Served in an . . . ll ll exquisite, natural surroundings. Yes, that sounds fine. Another day off to an excellent start. There is something about traveling that makes it seem so natural. One becomes aware of the constantly changing situation that he is in all the time. Perhaps because vision plays a major role in relaying information to the brain, the number of thoughts that a person has seems to increase. After driving most of the day, we found ourselves in Jefferson Davis Park, Memphis, Tenn., sitting on a cannon used in the Civil War overlooking the Mississippi River. We guessed that the reason for the cannon being in such a peaceful place was to make one appreciate the quietness. Or perhaps it was to represent the fact that many people are ready to die for what they believe in. As it started to rain, we left. can We drove across the Mississippi into Arkansas, finally stopping at another KOA. We ate sandwiches, climbed into our sleeping bags on the floor of the van, and fell asleep to the sound of pouring rain and accompanying thunder. When we woke up, it was still raining, but it was a lot colder. We decided to skip breakfast and just start driving so we could be in Oklahoma City by late afternoon. Traveling is becoming more enjoyable because of the increased number of efficient roadside parks. We stopped at such a park for our last meal before parting on Interstate 20 in Oklahoma. We found hot and cold running water, clean picnic areas, and a complete tourist information center. We arrived in Oklahoma City at three saying, See you back in Florida, we parted. There I was in Oklahoma City standing beside I-35 going south on a Wednesday afternoon looking at thirty cars going by every minute. I had tapped a large LA on my suitcase. Two guys stopped in a VW and gave me a ride to the western part of town. I stood there for about 45 minutes before the first car pulled over. I started to open the door, but as I did, I noticed that he didn'thave any pants on and he was really turned on about something. Flash! This was like war becoming a reality. You always hear about it but when it became a reality for me, something clicked in my head. I said no thanks, that I would catch a ride with somebody else. About five minutes later a very straight looking couple in a VW van stopped. I no sooner got in than they offered food, wine, and smoke. I was surprised because people usually aren't that friendly to people they don't know. After all having refreshments, putting on a tape lMoody Blues- To our ChiIdren's Children l, and seeing the sun set in the west, we started the usual questions and as usual got different answers. How else can one have a candid conversation that usually lasts for several hours with a person who, because of the diversity of society, will probably have different field of interest? Keith described himself as a rising executive who could do the society more good where he was than anywhere else. He was traveling to a commune in Colorado bringing canned food, a little money and some mescaline for the religious services. A few minutes before 12PM we parted in Amarillo, Texas. This was the time perhaps most disappointing for the crosscountry hitchhiker. Not very many people will pick up a hitchhiker late at night on a deserted stretch of road. To make matters worse it started raining. Fortunately there was an overpass for me to stand under. There were several times when I thought my watch had stopped because time was going so slowly, Semi trucks were going by at 70MPH. I became so bored that I had to do something so I started to recite thefirst 27Imes of Parad1seLost 0 mans first disobedience so out through the rainy night air N before was I so glad I had memorlz something . . u . rr s . . . mu . . . I Ag! . I Finally three guys in a black +I stopped. I climbed in and the af thing I knew I was in Arizona. I ? been able to sleep all the way. I wx really tired. The owner of the car, man about 55, was on his way fi Phoenix. He had picked up if Marines hitchhiking to San Diego. T 'I ride ended almost as abruptly as it h f started. Just putting out my thu - ' not even getting the chance to find of what town I was in. A '60 Ford wi a U-haul trailer overflowing with w Q furniture stopped, and after heari that Flagstaff was their destinationf' jumped in. He as 19 and she 215 they had thei ll I two year old daughter with them Their child was strange... she look in to your eyes as if she kn something you didnt. They had! twenty dollars to their name, whethenlj they picked me up because they wereli hoping for a little help, i don't knowdi Whatever the reason, I was good forg a tank of gas and lunch. Q I N Q Q X ., I I V f.. -M sag I Flagstaff, Arizona, is a mountain townil with big pine trees, clean air, and IUSIII! the right temperature. I wondered! about a lot of things when I asked aj myself why I didn't live in a place likeli that. When they let me out I wasi! thirteen hours away from my goal-at friend's house in Burbank, California.: This time I had to wait about 30Il minutes before a 1971 BMW stopped.l1 This was going to be a fortunate ride. 1' Don Cohen had just graduated from the University of Arizona at Tuscon. I He had received the BMW as ai graduation present and was taking ai j, ll il I I I ip to LA via the Grand Canyon. He ad just spent three days at the Jttom of the Canyon, he sadly told ue that air pollution was a problem iere. Because it is a basin and they ad built a powerplant in the wrong lace and the smoke was collecting in ie Caynon. We discussed College and 'ietnam all the way to LA while rinking wine and eating cheese I was Jprised to find out that his car could ruise at 80 and still had lots left for lassingg the best lart was that it got l3MPG. Getting a ride from Don was ornuate because he was driving to Dallas to visit his parents in two reeks, the same time I was planning an starting back. After reaching my Iestination in Burbank, we exchanged nhone numbers where we could be eached and shook hands goodbye. llac's house, my residence for my stay n California is located in the foothills af the LA mountains where one can :ee the smog of the city build up with ts brown shroud. Nhile I was in California, I wanted to lisit Big Sur. I had passed through in 66 but I wanted to take a closer look this time. Mac and I started early one norning in his car. As soon as we turned north on the Pacific Coast wy. hikers could be seen with ckpacks waiting for their turn to be iven a lift. We stopped and gave two ikers a ride. Both were going to Big ur: one was a writer from Canada, the ther a student from New York City. fter passing hundreds of people on he roadsides defying description, we arrived at Big Sur. It was late afternoon so we decided to tour Big Sur National Park, leaving off those two hikers who wanted to go farther north and picking up two others. The park was completely full, the atmosphere was one of rock, country or your own music if you played a guitar or a tamberine. As we passed some longhairs playing with frisbees, one offered grams of hash, S10 in a carnival barker voice. The park was going to close at 6PM to all people who didn't have camping permit we couldn't buy one because the camp was full, so we left. Heading north on the Highway, we stopped at a restaurantgeneral store and our hikers left us once again. We just happened to meet two girls from Boston who were looking for their ride back to San Francisco. Somebody suggested buying some wine and going to this mountain top with a view of miles. We all agreed and pooling our money, we bought a 1!2 gallon of Rose. Going up this winding dirt road to the top of this mountain was an experience for me. After finally reaching the top we stopped, pulled outa blanket, sat down and started drinking and talking. That afternoon and that evening was the high point of the trip in that it was the precipitation of a goal set while I was in Vietnam-being on a mountain top with people that one can relate to and also being in excellent mental and physical health with the future looking bright. The elation of being in that situation is still a motivating factor in my life. We came down las all things must dol and began stopping at every park and campsite trying to find a place to stay. It proved fruitless so we ended up sleeping in the car on the side of the road. Waking up early because of cold and our cramps we went to the River Inn for breakfast. If you are ever in Big Sur, go there for breakfast...you'll have one of the most fantastic experiences of your life. Big Sur, a place one dislikes leaving but one must. Saying goodbye to the girls, we headed back to Burbank. The two weeks in Calif. went so quickly. I was preparing to start on my way back to Florida when Don phoned asking if I still wanted that ride to Dallas. It was hard to beleive my luck would be so good, but it was. In twenty-two hours we were in Dallas. I gave Don S10 of the S15 I had left. I spent the night at his parent's house. ln the morning I thanked his parents and Don drove me to eastern Dallas. I had my thumb out again. Another VW van pulled over. It contained one lead guitarist and two roadies lgirls thattravel with bandsl who had just finished a tour with Leon Russell. His destination was Shreavport, La., the two girls were headed for Atlanta. Riding through La., listening to Bob Dylan's voice coming over the airways saying, Everybody must get stoned. was again an indication of a changing South. After being dropped off in Shreavport, the three of us caught a ride with a truckdriver going just west of Atlanta. Arriving at 6am, we were dropped off at a cafe. We had breakfast and then started for Atlanta again. A marine on his way to Beaufort, S.C. gave usaride to Atlanta where I was invited to spend the night but the part of town that the girls lived in was what I would call hazardous. After taking a shower, I looked around and found bullet holes everywhere. When the people came over with the guns and said that there was going to be a shoot out that night, I thought they were kidding. When the Atlanta police came over and wanted to know about the shooting last night, I left. At six in the evening, I walked from her house to I753 having good luck I was home at ten the next moming. Having set out with definite questions to answer such as what is the distance between what we think and what we do? What effect has music had on our generation? What has our generation contributed? And where Am I? Hitchhiking last Summer was so rewarding. Not only in the people I met but it gave me a chance to look at myself, my condition, my friends and view them in comparison to other people and situations allowing myself a more objective viewpoint of my goals, situation and ideals. 4, '53 ,s Q v Q Philosophy? f, e, ,. ,X Try lt- You'll Like -lt.'

The basic themes of man's existence would not exist without the real, physical life of man, the actual interplay between man and the outside world. Language is the bridge between idea and expression, being at once idea and expression, not the fully completed physical being or the absolutely intangible nonphysical conception. Creativity translates, transforms, the one into the otherp as a finished work can initiate an idea, so does the artist's idea culminate in an actual product. The artist is constantly recording his philosophy -- his reactions to the stimuli he receives from the total environment. In his constant exploration of new styles, of new selves, the artist parallels the loften unconsciousl thought processes of all men. For one's identity is constantly in flux, sometimes to a smaller or larger degree, but always changing. But why restrict oneself to the term, the rigid definition, identity? The individual formulates his definition of self--as Identity. lt is a closed system, and effort to freeze and finalize the self. The goal is maturity and self knowledgeg but the terms are unrealistic. Why not acceptance of self--as Realityu? Work with an open system, a loose structure-for existance itself is, after all, a loose structure, Self, as Reality--an integration of the known, the unknown, the weak, the strong--all points of one's personality, acceptance of the Whole. For man has the responsibility to be free. The Bible says, Thou mayest inherit the kingdom of Heaven. This Heaven may be literal or figurativeg for now, l see earthly heaven as freedom. Freedom is not accomplished through loss of inhibition and discipline, renouncing of material possessions, or hedonism. Freedom is achieved only through long periods of effort, each accomplishment the result of the combination of an intelligence able to grasp the situation, and the bravery to act. The truly mature individual seeks freedom to act, not to avoid. .....Or sol see it. A friend of mine calls each person's philosophy their own particular insanity. Yes, personal philosophy is one's effort to impose and artificial and biased structure of one's own upon life. But this is how man thinks, and ultimately, acts-- inposing his personal symbolism upon an objective reality he can never fully grasp. But man keeps on striving to grasp life more fully-to develop his control of the physical environment, of the gal environment, to the fullest. The effort to understand, and the beliefs formed therefrom, are the essence of Man at grips with Reality. And they are also the basic elements of sanity. So call these few random selections from the ideas of this human being my own personal sanity. Ruben Betancourt's At first glance, this human being appears a happy one. His eyes are clear and bright. His life seems to be in order. He looks and is spoken of as a man with a brilliant future. A happy, satisfied young man, friendly and with more friends than he would care to count. That happy man is me and sometimes I wish the facade were a better portrait of what truly resides inside. I have suffered and seen more than the average man my age. I had and then I lost everything, including my father, for a time, when I was younger. That my life has straightened out and order of a disorderly kind rules it, is a monument to my father's character and a constant reminder that whatever I should be, I owe him. My father's values, however reluctant I am to accept them, are my values. By inculcation, rather than forced learning, and by example, rather than brute force, my father has formed my values and my way of thinking. His example forms the guide I should follow on the road to becoming an honest, hardworking man like him. If family and work constitute happiness, then I guess my father is a happy man. The hurt that pervades my heart is the fact that dad and I have never been able to see each other. We walk together, rap together, life together has been a blessing for both of us, but we have never quite accepted each other's life style. He loves me with his life and the frustration of his life has been his incapability to make me into something that resembled him more closely. I love him dearly and my anguish has been possessing a free mind that prevents me from accepting Portrait of a Young Man As an Old Man A Searching Man what my father sees as my image. We have tried and we try to see each other's point of view, but thirty years is a monumental obstacle. We have our love for each other, our future to think of and the willingness, which I have found lacking in so many, to try and understand each other. His philosophy of life is basically my own, a little more realistic, a bit more weatherbeaten, a little less happy, a bit more conservative and earthbound perhaps, but basically the same. We both try to do good, amend wrongs, set our example for our different peer groups. We try, within our boundaries to make people happy and allow ourselves the priceless little moments of togetherness with those we love. I wake up each morning, open up my imaginery book and pretend to write wrongs that are ever so hard to fix Sometimes my book is full of spring' A poem for a start, two lines of love that rhyme so perfectly that they wil stand the cruelest of tests: time. Al poem and a rose, a heart to mold anc mend to suit my heart, a love to worli for, another day to remember. Thesei days I sleep in love, gently wrapp whatever reason, that she can make: sense out of my life, something I known I can not do. I look forward to poem days. They are few and far between. They constitutei the side of my life people see, theys make up the balance and then inspiration. They come so seldom. Writing is my life. I write like mo people think. l love like most peoplel talk. I very often cry. I have grown . . . A Happy Man in it something valid. My book has nothing written on it, the future pages past ones erase are blank, the themselves. To me each day is a new page, to be written only by me, in this seemingly endless book. My book sometimes is filled with lies, cheating, twisting an unsuspecting arm in order to get my way, breaking a heart. These days I sleep by myself, thinking about amends to make, thinking of fixing to see writing as yet another climax and a page filled with me somewhat. resembles what I want my child to bei never quite asked for, yet forever welcome into my heart, loved and cared for like no other child. Love influences my writing more than' anything else. I fall in love as often' as most people breathe. Only once I was really hurt by love and it amazes: 54 , 1 I ..5 around someone who pretends, for: l 1 I I I I l I! e how it carries on. Her name was nn and God knows I loved her. For while she was my only future and he complete fulfillment of all my reams. Our love itself was like a ream. It fills hundreds of pages in my ook. I try to erase it but Ann's love ills my heart. he pressures, the constant I can'ts he deadlines and the ego trips drove her away from me. She went seeking new, easier, more uncomplicated life. inspiration that has never failed me, even in moments of total, fustrating darkness. His way of life, his looks, the very way he walks, I imitate. His example, however eratic, immoral and illegal, has been my example. If ever I become something worthwhile in a large scale, the credit will have to go to both dad and John. These two men, one who l know only too well and the other who I know hardly anything about, have helped mold my life in more ways than either will ever know. Ann's love also helped give me the push of confidence I needed at a point in my life when that push was the very thing my life was badly lacking. Her love for me made me a more complete man and my love for her made me a more compassionate man, a quality I Love influences my writing more than anything else. l fall in love She walked out of my life into a Greyhound bus one very early hot summer morning and I have not seen her again. Ann left behind a man who will never truly love again, afraid of being hurt. Music has ruled my life since the day a man named John Lennon whispered something about holding my hand. Lennon is my idol, a man I love without reservations, a light of have always lacked. She tried to love me, a man quite impossible to love, and if it failed, the fault resides in me. I read alot, though seldom what I write. That I detest. One can do so much better if one reads what one writes after the passing of time. I can also risk loosing the immediacy of the experience by correcting my original thoughts. That faded piece of paper holds that very important moment better than this new crisp one ever could. I can honestly say that I have tried to do my best. I have failed a lot of times. The times I have succeeded shine like fresh dew on yellow roses in a field, lit by the merciful sun, forever saying thanks to a thing they do not understand for its life giving blessing. It is these few good deeds I hope the world will judge my stay within it by. Yet man makes his own rules and I have made my own rules throughout my short life. I have enjoyed success beyond my wildest dreams. I have tasted defeat so bitter, I have cried over things as intangible as love. My life has been a balancing of defeat and success and my philosophy has always been one of acceptance. I thank God for defeat as much as for the success he has sent me, perhaps much more for the first than for the latter. And so, my life's philosophy, requested by a friend, written by a man who is unsure he has a life left, much less a philosophy to guide it. Life for us starts with graduations, wives and kiddies. I hope for none, my interests have taken me beyond such as often as most people breath. things. So far, life has been a series of ups and downs, blows from each side and a long, arduous preparation for more. I have rehearsed success and I have suffered losses. If I have had a measure of happiness and success, then I will be happy rereading this in twenty years. I know l will never be satisfied. It is hard to unravel tvventy-one years of living in some five pages. It is harder to think about the hard times and think you can balance them with good ones. Live and let live is a stupid, selfish philosophy. I believe in living and helping others live. I guess behind the facade is really a happy man, frustrated in his search for happiness, and happy with continuing the search. Far from perfect, but getting better. For lack of anything to do, this happy man goes on , trying to make sense of a world that, to him, has never made much sense. We actually found one! Silver Sands managed to procure a real live, flesh and blood romanticist to round out our student philosophy section. Madame L lfor you-know-whatl, a student right here at BCC is a big fan of the Carpenters vocal group, collects those smile buttons and is a top-notch babysitter. She smiles enough for all of us and is always ready, willing and able to inject her optimistic two cents into even the most somber discussions. What more could we ask? And ask we did! SS: So you say you're a romanticist. Tell me all about it. Ml. Well, I think that life is... SS: A bowl of cherries? ML: No, I don't. Not anymore. It's not a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich with mustard and chocolate milkshakes and burger whoppers. lt's just isn't. SS: Ugh. what then. ML: lt's nice. lt's good. You were put here to live, and you should make the best of it all of the time. Everyday I try to drain as much out of that day as I can. I don't always, but I try. SUNSHI E AND SHADOWS: Two Sides To Every Bump PI' SS: And other people? ML: People in general are not really the dastardly no-goods that we often think they are. I think people are naturally a warm-hearted friendly bunch. At least they are over here. I don't know about anywhere else but here, where I am. SS: People are intrinsically good. ML: Yeah. People I meet daily aren't out to knife me in the back. A lot of people think that everybody they know and everybody they meet one of these days is going to knife them in the back and it just isn't so. Infact most of the people I know would go out of their way to help you. SS: Hmm. But what causes pernicious behavior in some individuals? Better yet, what makes some people rotten? ML: l'm not sure. People who live bad lives, people who are greedy never have any good in their lives. They're lonely. They have nothing. I feel sorry for people like that. I have great sympathy for people like that, because they have no capacity to give. And if you can't give you can't take, because no one else is willing to give to Q: But really, I think people are the way they are because of their homelife. Like, I had it really good, and I think that's why l trust people so much. There's always been a very warm and trusting atmosphere in my house. Love, understanding and friendship. You know. SS: A beautiful thought. But what about the bad things. ML: Well, for every one bad thing in this world, there are fifteen good things to come out of it. Right now in my life the major bad thing was when my boyfriend broke up with me. That was two months ago. Out of that l've learned to accept the fact that things don't last forever and changes come and go. And like I said before life isn't bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. You've got to learn to face things matter-of-factly. But I think you can still dream a little. You can still justify in your own mind, maybe it'lI last forever, not lt has to last I ji I I I I 1 l I ji 'I fl fe I I I I I I? I lv I fl I I ,. rever, It's perfect. Nothing is rfect. : , Nothing gold must stay. Do you ave any definite opinions on love? L: Isarcasticallyl Yes, I have a efinite opinion on love. Inot rcasticallyl It's beautifull lt really ls. don't care if anyone says Oh wow. ere she goes getting corny again. I sed to think that there was only one ve in your life, the kind when you ll in love and get married. You only 'ver love one person in your life. But t:'m finding out otherwise. For the flirst 'ilerson you fall in love with there s a pecial place forever and ever and ever lwlfld always in your heart. But you're I apable of loving again and in a better Lay, because your first love is iust a ream, With your second love you're ore capable of looking for the bad lnd avoiding it. You're much more Dractical. Iss: Do you mean practical in an deological sense or practical in a romantic sense? VIL: In a romantic sense. People say you don't get married for love nymore. I don t believe that. I think ost of the people today are getting married because they're in love, not oecause the girI's pregnant or because 'hey need a sex partner. But nowadays ecause of all the social pressures you ave to look at it materialistically. oes he have enough money for an partment? Can he hold a job? Maybe long time ago that didn't matter so I uch. Everyone would say, They're 'in love, and let it go at that. l SS: Social pressures? ML: People say, You can't love this person. You're too young. But I i strongly believe that kids anywhere at all, and I dongt care how old they are, are capable of loving someone strongly. You can't put an age limit on love. It might be an immature, basic , physical kind of love, but it matures with age. I don't think people should laugh at it. SS: Pretty idealistic, don't you think? ML: I think if you're meant to be together, sort of a predestination sort of thing, you'll be there. lf you grow up apart, you form your ideas away from each other, and this works better than if you grow up together, go together, see each other constantly where you give and take ideas, but you're not really forming your own. SS: In other words, for the maturing process to occur, one must expose oneself to the attitudes of the peer group? Ipregnant pausel NIL: Yeah. SS: Don't you feel that you're looking at the world through rose-colored glasses? ML: I do. People are basically good. I trust everybody. I think I could go up to anybody on the street and just by talking to him make friends with him. I really trust people, and I think that by trusting them you can install in them the capacity for them to trust you. I think thats the answer to our worId's problems. Not all of this political mish-mash. SS: A little while ago you mentioned your bumps. Tell me about yout bumps. ML: lgigglel OK. Well, I think of life as one long line. Along the way you have these little bumps. If they go up they're good bumps, and they represent all of the good things that happen in your life. As you go on, the line goes on, bumping along. Your goal in life is a great big giant bump. For each person this bump represents something different. To me it would be to see all of the people I love happy. My children to be grown up, safe in their own homes, without having to worry about people blowing them up and wars and things like that. My parents safe and happy, and my friends also. SS: Are there any bumps that go down? ML: The bumps that go down are the bad things in your life, But there aren't that many, and they bounce right back. Let's say you've got four big bumps going up. They're good bumps . . . you must think I'm crazy! SS: No, no. Go on. ML: OK, Well, all of a sudden you get a bump going down. That's a bad bump, and it represents something bad happening to you, like your boyfriend breaking up with you or somebody in your family dying. But almost always after every bad bump, there are some big good bumps which make the bad bumps seem less bad. lt's like one of those machines that measure earthquakes . . .an encephalogram? . SS: Seismograph. ML: Yeah, and all the bumps that go down are bad. They would be the earthquakes. . .that's all. . . That's my life in a series of bumps! SS: Cute. A little strange, but cute. Why are young people today turning on to Christ? What are Christian coffee-houses doing springing up in towns all over the United States? Why was Jesus Christ Sugrstar such a hit on Broadway? What is a Jesus ll Freak? Just what is the Jesus Revolution? These are questions I hear everyday, everyplace from everybody. What is the Jesus Revolution? To me, the Jesus Revolution is the most important event that has happened this century. Now, that is a very strong statement. What about WWI and Il, Communism, the Cold War, Vietnam, the rise of the U.S. as the dominant world power, the space program, landing on the moon, aren't thesejust as important, you might ask? These are events of earthshaking importance all directly or indirectly leading to the world situation today. But if these are the causes, where is the solution? I say the Jesus Revolution is that solution. Here is a non-denominational, non-national, non-ideological movement to bring peace not only to the world, but to everyone on the face of the Earth. If our nations can't solve the world problems, then the people must. The Jesus Revolution is a movement primarily within the youth of America to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior. The aim of this movement is to spread the word of Jesus to any and all who wish to hear it, no matter where. By spreading the word my hope would be to unite all Christians in their faith and to help bring others to the peace of being a Christian. Once we accept the aims of any movement or idea we must find out who the people are who spread and form it. In the case of the Jesus Revolution these are the Jesus People. These are the followers of the word of Jesus Christ. Jesus Freaks are the most vocal, visible and well-known Jesus People. I have heard people speak of Jesus Freaks as fanatic people who are so involved in their preachings that they lose sight of their goals. To me this is a narrow one-sided approach to these people. Granted, many Jesus Freaks are trying to build followers for themselves, are trying to use their faith as a crutch to place their problems on the shoulders of others, and many followers follow just for the sake of having a direction to turn. But in any movement, no matter how good or important the ideas are, people will always pervert the principles of the The as devised for man by God. v In my eyes many Jesus Freaks are people who have found themselves in Christianity. Many Jesus Freaks are ex-alchoholics, junkies, pushers, and? thieves. Jesus had such a remarkable influence in their lives that they devote much, if not all of their lives to Jesus. Making a Fool Of Yourself F r Jesus By Bob Gordon movement. How can you tell the good from the bad or misguided Christians? If you speak to a true Christian his faith will always brand him as a Christian. True Christian faith is feeling or belief that comes from deep within, it has an overwhelming urge to show or convince others that the way of true Christian brotherhood is the most glorious form of happiness ever One of our greatest problems today is drug addiction. I have seen and known by experience that by turning to Christ even drug addiction is no longer a problem. lf you come to Christ no matter how sick, depressed, or burdened you might be, he will lift the load from your shoulders. A basic premise of the Jesus movement is the miracles that are happening everyday, everywhere around us. These miracles I 'range from the.simple personal miracle 'of knowing Christ to drug addiction CUTE. HI have used the expression of Being ISaved . To many this is an elusive term. What is Being Saved ? To me, being saved was the most fantastic experience of my life. Being Saved simply means accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior, just believing that he died nearly two thousand years ago just solcould have eternal life. I have heard the question Just how do you accept Jesus as your savior? .To this question there is no stock answer. For me, it happened in June. I had been involved with a group of Christians for a week or so. I had seen a tremendous sense of well-being, of inner peace within these people. I tried to accept them but somehow I felt I was outside looking in. They invited me to attend a weekend camping trip to Palm Beach with them, so I accepted. I will never forget those four days for the rest of my life. Before then, I had look at Christians as Bible-toting, Scripture- reading people who didn't know anything about having fun. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I enjoyed myself the ,first couple of days, we played football, swam, enjoyed ourselves, but still I didn't enjoy it as much as they did. That Sunday night we went to a small meeting-house in the park we lwere staying at. One of the young gpeople gave a sermon, we sang hymns, jand had our Church service. The linvitation to decide for Christ came, Ibut I still held back. After the service jwas over the young people drew chairs :into a circle and some began to give ftheir testimony of Christianity. iSuddenly I got the feeling God wanted lme to speak. Speak in front of these people and make a fool of myseIf,MJ ml I said to myself. stan I couIdn't resist this urge. So I decided to speak, I had no idea on what or why at all. l began to tell of how I lived, what I thought, and suddenly, a spot of warm feeling began within me almost as though my heart opened. Then I made the statement I had never j dreamed of saying--I had realized that Jesus was the most important thing in my life. When I realized this I had a sense of well-being equal to no other feeling I have ever experienced--a truly eternal high. I To me these people I just spoke of and others like them are the most important people in the Jesus Revolution. They are the Straight People, people just like you and me having in common the wish to witness the love of Christ to all who want and need it. These people are the backbone of the Jesus Revolution, the people who run the coffee-houses, hold Bible-study classes, run youth groups, and teach others the word of Christ. We live in a complex world today and we experience many varied pressures, those of work, school, home and the pressure of being successful today. With women's lib, ecology, the peace movement, political campaigns, and the many other movements being organized today we are asked to devote our time to the service of others. To me this is very good as long as you are in a condition to do it. By in the condition to do it I mean you must take care of your own personal life first. The Jesus Revolution is a movement that will give you the chance to have eternal life, and that is about the best care you can give to yourself. If you read the Bible at all, you will see the conditions prior to rapture of the Church are rapidly being fulfilled. The rapture of the Church is the time when all Christians are lifted from the earth. This rapture precedes the coming of the Anti-Christ and his dominion of the earth. The anti-Christ is the Devil's Jesus sent to confuse the people of the earth and preach the word of Satan. According to Biblical prophecy, three events must precede the rapture and from the beginning of the first to the rapture will entail no more than one generation or in the Bible--forty years. These events are the return of Israel as a nation, for Israel to regain Jerusalem, and for the Temple of Jerusalem to be rebuilt. Israel became a nation in 1948. During the 1967 war, between Israel and the United Arab republic, Israel regained control of two-thirds of the city of Jerusalem. So two-thirds of the prophecy has been fulfilled leaving only the rebuilding of the temple. The Israeli government has actively given its approval to the rebuilding. The only barrier between the Israelis and their Temple is the Moslem mosque known as the Flock. This mosque now stands on the hill where the Temple has traditionally been built. All Christians in the world are looking for a natural or man- made disaster that will destory this moslem mosque. The forty year span from the beginning to the rapture will end in 1988, so all followers of Jesus Christ are looking eagerly to his coming any day. My purpose in writing this article was to acquaint people with the Jesus Revolution and to attempt to have them look at themselves. If anyone has a problem, burden, or sorrow, if they have no idea where to turn to, if they drink or take drugs to escape from the problems of today, look to Jesus, he is waiting for the chance to help you, all you have to do is ask. If you feel the need and wish to contact other Christians to help you, call me: Bob Gordon, at 565-7650 my home number, or visit the New Hope Youth Group at the First Baptist Church of Oakland Park.

Good theatreg the important thing. Good theatre, The Importance of Being Earnest. Ted Geiger was the stage manager for the drama departments major offering Term lg Miss M. is Miss Mildred Mullikin, drama area leader, was the director for the production. And Oscar Wilde's The lmportance of Being Earnest was the production. I only saw the entire play once as a member of the audience. At other times I was in the workshop area, trying not to be in the way and attempting to take pictures with a 'IQQ 16'- 'U' 13 s xt . 'JM Q 54121 ,', 3ig',i flash attachment lcalled a strobel that simply would not flash. I did, however, manage to set it off three times in my face. l the first, with the help of Connie Scott.l Briefly, in order to avoid the detailed prosaic outlining into which summaries tend to deteriorate, the play is a love story spiked with satiric comment falling within range of most anything between celibacy and society, sight gags, and lines that are simply funny. A non-existent n'er-do-well brother plays an important part as far as plot goes, also. But if one were to plan a seating arrangement after the final curtain, the following match ups would result: Worthing lTed Pasternackl and Gwendolyn, lDebbie McDonaldl, Algy's cousin: Algy lNormand Godfroyl, Worthing's friend, and Cecily lRusselyn Downsl, Worthing's wardg Miss Prism, lShirley Martinezl Cecily's governess, and Reverend Chausable lMaurice Hyneslgwith Lane lMarc Paonessal and Merriman lGuy Shannerl servingg and Lady Bracknell lConnie Scottl looking on, quite shocked and quite disgusted. Lady Bracknell: Do not speak unkindly of society - only people who can't get into it do that. Backstage, in the workshop area, is where things happen, the scene behind the scene where a production is tied together. And anyone who is willing can be a part of it. Both cast and additional crew members were on hand to help the set construction crew. The first dress rehearsal was a good time for discovering a variety of last minute problems, and that's the time to do it. Several men's costumes didn't l l 'it correctly and Miss McDonald ieemed to border a state of being more ncumbered than ornamented by the r ses on her gown. These were easy T correct, as was the case of Normand odfroy's costume. ln the actual lerformances he entered Act ll poking cocky rather than almost llownish. lso in that act was the tea scene, the hearsal performance of which caused iss M. to comment, lt's obvious you ieople don't drink tea in the fternoon. For the public it came off ilithout a hitch. nd too, the lights did not just happen come down on a scene and the usic happen to come on for awhile lntil the next act began. These spects, along with the closing of the urtain, were coordinated, counted own, and rehearsed. They were, in hort, an important part of the Verformance. lllgernon: All women become like heir mothers, thats their tragedy. No van does - thats his. 'ed Geiger strode backstage, pocket latch in hand, reminding the actors lot to make their entrances until he ued them, but it seemed more pquirement and habit than actual lecessity. x stage manager's job is more than hat of simply chief furniture mover. lle is responsible for seeing that all lecessary personnel, including the lirectors, are present at rehearsals.

At ine time, three simultaneously, and me or two people explaining the ules as they went along. Which eminded me of the night l learned to :lay 500 Rummy - supposedly. Shirley Martinez, making her debut performance as Miss Prism, did not spend much time in the workshop area, but stayed in a separate room going over her lines. lt may or may not have been necessary, but that she was a success was undeniable, playing the delicate governess, she and Maurice Hynes were given an excited ovation as they made their first exit. Richard Rose, technical director for the play, and Paul, whose last name l still don't know, deserve a special word of thanks for their much-needed help regarding photography. This reporter had small backstage triumphs, not only can I load a camera fairly competantly but can rewind film with the best of 'em. Miss Prism: l am not in favor of changing good people into bad people at a momentfs notice. Backstage there was small talk, and card games, and almost everyone at sometime breaking in to British dialect, but there was also an awareness of the audience, as the single microphone behind the proscenium carried the sound back to the workshop and up to the control booth. At the third performance, those coming off stage kept mainly to themselves until Miss M. reminded Normand that You've got another condominium. They're an older audience. They'll enjoy themselves but they just won't react. The night before many of the quiet audience had come backstage to congratulate the cast after the final act. The audience did come alive during the second act and it was said that when Russelyn Downs and Debbie McDonald left the stage to an exuberant audience they were in tears. But it is difficult to say that if they were happier than Assistant Director Stephanie Rudakiewicz. Stephanie cares. It was in her conversation when she talked and in her face when she listened or watched from the control room. She was involved, consummated. Empathy is a popular word, and one that fits her. But when you come right down to it, Stephanie cared. Miss Prism: Your celibacy presents a permanent public temptation. Forgive the cliche, but a wave of anticipation did indeed fill the room when Connie Scott came in with the news that a reviewer, who shall here remain nameless, had arrived. ln everyone's eye there was a sort of unspoken pact, Well, let's do it up right.

As for the performance itself, it was simply excellent, although excellence does not come simply. Pasternack and Godfroy were cocky, conniving, commiserating, disconsolate, and wonderfully comedic. Miss Scott was delightfully worldly and properly astonished that anyone would arrange for their own marriage. Miss Downs was a young, exasperated Cecily: Miss McDonald, a mature, sophisticated Gwendolyn and their scenes were memorable. Shanner and Paonessa, in relatively small roles, won acceptance through their characterizations. There seemed to be an electrical communication between audience and players, who performed with a quiet joy which was received and intensified by the audience. It was that kind of a night - not fully describable. The cast and crew of The Importance of Being Earnest had done their jobs well. To Greek . . . i .1 , I I I I L.: j j I If I l,l,i...n If l'il 1' ilflf F71 f - DANCE W J l j .1-. J i ' ' I or not to Greek! To deny that there is definite anti-Greek sentiments among students of BCC is ludicrous, to ignore the problem is more so. There exists preconceptions that are very often misconceptions. There must be more to Greek organizations than beer blasts, more even than knowing that X sorortiy did blah-blah-blah and X1 fraternity did blah-blah-blah and that together they went caroling. Probably the most frequent argument against Greeks is that they are cliqueconscious and that all they do is have parties. While it has been offered that college freshman join fraternities because they belonged to service clubs in high school, Greek organizations have been described as grown-up service clubs that don't give any service. Greeks have also been accused of having a false set of standards and of restricting dating to only fellow Greeks or to those of certain houses. ln addition it has been noted that posters which appear at rush time offering loyalty, brotherhood, friendship, sisterhood, memories and other sterling qualities seem to be a bit misleading, to be advertising organized friendship. The final argument concerns fees and dues: they are thought to border the exorbitant. And the leer shall be first... IQ l regard to economics, most fraterniti i and sororities require a S20 rush f l and S5 per month dues. Additiona monies are usually raised throug 5 projects. Q l ,j l ' l II , 'l l I Nidj of the Delta Gamma Phi sorori noted that Everybody hangs out I their own group. In any group th members are going to be closer to eac other DG Phi raises money by selling Krispy Kreme donuts at gas stations, hotels, and other spots. ln addition, they hold car washes and rummage sales. These funds pay for a great deal of the J expense of parties, which are generally closed to independents. I The sisters as a group supported and contributed to Phi Theta Kappasf Thankgiving food drive and have ll worked on a project with an EIks.l lodge. Nidj said that very few: independents organize themselves forl action on a specific project. She added that she decided td pledges' DG Phi after moving from New York, since she knew no one in the school. She feels that she can now cope better, with her problems. But she does notl think she will pledge a sorority aftervl transferring. l Peter Clayton, pledge master of Sigmas Psi Delta, stated quite emphatically that We are very cliquey. lt is thee closeness that tends to promotei brotherhood and a sense of honestyi among the brothers. Arguing the stigma of organized' friendship, Clayton said that the: relationships made in a fraternity arei made to last a lifetime. Sigma Psi Delta parties are usually. given for a purpose and have a theme. Picnics are usually closed to' independents, but depending on thet purpose, for example, if it is to raiser money, parties may be open. Clayton added that very few pledgesl are rejected by the fraternity and thatl they are not exclusive organizations. Pledges like us. lt doesn't matter' whether we like them. ledge President Stephen Wolf noted hat pledges as a smaller group, could ore easily get acquainted. Sigma Alpha Pi brother who prefers 0 remain anonymous said that rush ees are dispursed through the Greek ouncil and most of this money is used oward the spring festival. e added that parties are often open o all students but that SAP is active other ways.

Asked to comment on this l ituation, Anonymous said that it l epends on the sister, He plans to pledge a fraternity when he transfers. lFrom Alpha Theta Chi another 'brother who wishes to withhold his 'name stated that dating is never limited and that the pledge period is not as terrible as it is sometimes rumored to be. Sharing that feeling on pledging is Sandy Missback, Iota pledge vice president of the Beta Epsilon Phi sorority. She adds that pledging is really a lot of fun, you make it what . ll you want it to be. The slogan of Beta Epsilon Phi is The greatest gift is the gift of Friendship, but Sandy said that one thing that really bothered her was the conflict between sororities during pledging and school activities. She added, however, that there was no animosity involved, only competition. BE Phi Treasurer, Cindi Johnson, said that parties are held with no set schedule. Once a month there is a perty which all Greeks attend, this costs each organization approximately 325. BE Phi's annual skating party in December is open to all students, but slumber parties are closed to independents. Picnics may also be open, depending on their function. Beta Epsilon Phi sponsors a Korean orpham. At Christmas the sisters went caroling at a nursing home and visited a children's hospital with toys. Sue Long, a Delta Chi pledge, states that she is joining a sorority because of the service and activity aspects and in order to make new friends. She feels that the sisters of Delta Chi care. Martina Bowley of Alpha Delta also became a Greek in order to meet people. She feels that in Alpha Delta she has 30 best friends, 'people you can tell anything to and know it won't get any further. Martina added that she chose this sorority because the sisters are much closer. There is more than friendship between sisters because you've been through more with a sister. You might step on a friend a little bit to further your own interest, but you wouldn't do it to a sister. ln pledging you learn that someone else is more important. Conceding that others might think that Greeks are clique-y, Martina herself doesn't see it. And there are no requirements on whom one may date. Though not planning to transfer to a four-year institution, she does not believe that she would necessarily pledge a sorority if she did, since living in a dormitory would afford the opportunity to make friends. Noting that the popularity of the Greek organization is on the decline, Martina added that it runs in a cycle. And the Greeks shall rise again.

Not only do students commute to and from class, rather than reside on campus, but many have recently moved into the area, and so, therefore, have not even a highschool clique with which to hang out. Also, it is perhaps easier to allign a group of persons who share the relationship derived from belonging to a fraternity or sorority in order to reach a certain goal. There remain arguments for both sides. There remains something to think about. For both sides. Hand Across the Sea BCC's Central Campus Lecture Theatre was a busy placethroughout Term l. The Importance of Being Earnest played to sell-out crowds for all performances. Both faculty and student concerts were enjoyed by SRO audiences. And, though it was perhaps a surprise to many, the international Foreign Language Organization llFLOl filled the house with wall-to-wall people. The cause for this gathering was a musical variety production, Hands Across the Sea. Under faculty advisor Lisa Ruden, IFLO hopes to acquaint students with the cultures of foreign lands and to become a source of information concerning travel. The program, which took place on the day of Project Survival laffectionately abbreviated Plant Dayl, presented music and dance, and a monologue on a German beer blast. Opening the show was a group of students performing Latin American music. It was the debut of these foreign-born students as a single performing entity. Frederic H. Curry, BCC language instructor, then gave a talk lwhich promised to be boring and was notl on Munchen's Oktoberfest which is held for 16 inebriated days in September. Dr. Thomas Cavendish, director of the Chamber Choir, with Byron E. Franklin at the piano, performed three songs in foreign tongues. They were Die Post by Schubert, Cancion by Manuel de Falla, and Chanson a Boire, a drinking song by Maurice Ravel. Mr. Franklin, with David Snively ldirector of BCC's Symphonic Bandl had played New York's Carnegie Hall just a few weeks previous. Rounding out the program were scenes from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, which employs foreign dance, presented by The Imperial Studios of Ballet of Fort Lauderdale. Mrs Ruth Petrinovic, artistic director and owner of the studios, presented the commentary. Dance segments included Chocolate lSpanish Flamencol, Trepak lRussian folkl,Bon Bans lFrench Balletl, and a X5 X, , 1 A x its X R X .

Hand Across the Gulf Between Men Do you want to help a fourth grader learn to read, teach a retarded kid to wash his hands, fight pollution, build a parrish house, or inform draft eligible students of their military rights and obligations? You can do all of these with Student Concern. Student Concern is a state-wide program of volunteer student activities coordinated through the office of Mrs. Athalie Range, secretary of the state's Department of Opportunity. At BCC, Student Concern was reactivated under the leadership of Bob Martin. Operating from his cubby hole in the Hospitality Center, Bob tries to offer a project for ever interest. Brains and talent are not bequeathed to students upon graduation from BCC, the students have something to offer now. Nlost students want to help their fellow man but feel that they lack those means. We try to provide those means.

Student Concern tutors are offering Broward County children a helping hand toward being able to take advantage of all that the public schools have to offer. In return, they are receiving love and friendship. lVlany tutors feel that they are getting the better half of the bargain. Dennis Foster heads Selective Student Information, a service offered by Student Concern to the students of the college. Dennis is a member of Broward People For Peace. Both Hawk and Dove are spoken in the Student Concern Office. Enlistment information as well as deferment information is offered. Dennis invites all interested people to come to the Student Concern office. Among other programs Student Concern offers are the Sundial Aide Program, Suspension Bridge, Day Care Center Assistants Group, Captivated Child Care Center Help, Volunteer Juvenile Probation and both Boy and Girl Scouts. ln most cases Student Concern can offer a volunteer a project that corresponds with his major, thereby providing him with valuable practical experience before graduation. ln any case, Student Concern promises that the volunteer won't be bored. Student Concern also handles many short projects during the semester. Among the successful ones were the UNICEF label drive, the pollution information sheet and an old clothing drive. lf you are not already a member of Student Concern, we invite you to discover a new Vista lpardon the punl and perhaps change your life. v A Tl- 4 Believe it or not ....

Some of these changes include additions of new personnel. BCC's newly appointed Dean of Academic Affairs, Horace Hartsell, is one of these additions. Dean Hartsell is a very unique individual who impresses everyone with his friendly nature and yet commands an air of confidence and sincere interest in his position. Hartsell was born in Haynesville, Louisiana and grew up on a cattle ranch. After graduating from high school in 1954, he attended Freed-Hardeman College for two years and also Stephen F. Austin State College for a year on a speech and debate scholarship. After sewing a hitch in the Marine Corp he transferred into the teacher education program at the University of Florida, where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts in speech, English, and journalism. While teaching at Lake Wales High School, he began working on his master's degree at Florida Atlantic University. Before coming to BCC, Hartsell was a member of the FAU faculty. He went to FAU as Director of Student Placement and later moved into the dean's office in the College of Education as assistant dean for one year. l feel the atmosphere at BCC is one in which the best interests of the student is the Hrst consideration. I have always been involved with student government. While I was at FAU, I was the faculty graduate representative for the students, he said. I feel it is important to maintain a good rapport between the faculty, administration and students. When l first visited BCC, I was impressed by the philosophy of the faculty and the general attitude of the college personnel, and I was particularly impressed by the attitude of the students, he added. I feel the atmosphere at BCC is one in which the best interest of the students is the first consideration, he explained, this feeling of individualism is not always possible at a four-year institution. The philosophy of a four-year university and a two-year community college differ in that a professor in a university teaches a subject, whereas, an instructor in a community college teaches students, said Hartsell. The faculty at BCC seems to be dedicated to helping the student and, in turn, serving the needs of the community and county. I shall work to continue to develop programs on the central campus and in the various locations where off campus courses are being offered that will be an extension of this philosophy, said Hartsell.

Livermon views his position as a tremendously exciting challenge to set up a new and diversified program that will serve the needs of all the BCC students. I want to involve students more in the program, said Livermon. lnvolvement seems to the be key note in Livermon's life. Livermon grew up in Martinsville, Virginia. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts at Emory and Henry College. He also attended East Carolina University and completed his masters degree at Appalachian State University in North Carolina in 1969. He was hired three years ago as an instructor in audio-visual education in the Graphic Arts department here at BCC. When the BCC Caravan program was initiated, Livermon was given the responsibility for that program. The BCC Caravan is a mobile unit that travels around the various area schools and shopping centers to inform the public about BCC and to recruit new students. A great deal of effort is being made to instigate a program that the students can enjoy and to establish a program with which, hopefully, most students can identify, said Livermon. There are many new ideas that Livermon would like to see at BCC. I hope to eventually set up a program that can be used to earn college credit through work within the student activities program, he said. In October several members of the faculty and approximately twenty BCC students attended a leadership conference near Naples, that was comprised of representatives from Miami-Dade North and South, university of Miami and acc. The conference was held to gain enthusiasm and insight and to generally establish a feeling of how different colleges or universities could work to help students relate to their peers, fellow students and society, said Livermon. They are really attempting an outstanding program at Miami-Dade North and South, he explained. We hope to incorporate some of their ideas at BCC. Getting to know the students and what they want is a very important aspect of my job and I shall work to organize the most enjoyable and diversified program that I can for the benefit of an ofthe students, he said.

'Cl Hui- I I 7 raxnces lgehignz agen? 012111 me gdnrinf' I5 I The precise throaty voice of Frances Pedigo, English instructor, begins a reading of the Canterbury Tales in what Chaucer merrily calIed, my lighte English at our Buehler Planetarium, for a special show on the skies of Chaucer's day. We are on a trip ..... from London to Canterbury. Every Pedigo English Literature class is a trip, a happening, a serendipity adventure back into time. Agreed that Beowulf in Old English is not exactly bedside reading, students still can feel its power and excitement as she reads it to them. As someone who excelled in comedy in her college drama days, Dr. Pedigo is aware of the bubbly good humor of Chaucer and can convey this cheerfulness to her class. As she tells it, ln my college drama days I was an also ran and my sister was the star. She participated in comedy skits, and wonders if she made the audience laugh--at her or with her. At any rate, her unexpected dry humor livens many an English Lit session. There, she is the star. Students who must support themselves, or are otherwise bogged down with responsibilities, will appreciate Frances Pedigo's efforts to complete school. She says, I had the most mixed up college that anyone ever heard of. Not having any great fortune behind me, l taught school and went to college summers. It took three summers to make me a freshman. Then, after enrolling at Stetson, she found her hard-earned summer credits not acceptable. So once again she was a genuine freshman. Dr. Pedigo admits that, I was the only student in the freshman class at Stetson who knew the second grade reader by heart. After completing the freshman year she I I I Il I ll I I ent back for another term, but was Iled home to stay because of family lness. More teaching, then up to lorida State, then Florida State ollege of Women, to earn her achelor of Arts Degree. college she was in student vernment very briefly. She didn't ave time to go out and campaign for lective office, but she was president f a Pan Hellenic organization. Just ke many students at Broward, she ould get into various things and then ave to back out, because with all the ork she was doing, it was not ssible to continue with the top ffice. After a long spell of teaching e entered the University of North arolina at Chapel Hill to work for her aster's degree. I didn't make Phi 'eta Kappa but I was close, she alled, I never went to a campus here they had it until graduate hool, but I made the equivalent of . Then when she had received her asters, she went on to take more ourses in graduate school,and soon und there were enough credits ccumulated for a doctorate. Those tlere the days when no pre-planning ir counseling services were available. llks Dr. Pedigo explains it, There must ie some character notion about all his, because I never planned for a Ph. D.: I simply COmpIeted enough :ourses, passed all the tests, and got t. What I did was to learn the school catalogue by heart and if they told me I couldn't do this or that, l'd say, 'see iere' ...... and make my point. lated to be a classics major in Latin nd Greek, she felt that might take too ong. So she decided on English as a major since she had more courses in :hat than any other subject. She had :ix years of Latin but was unable to :it Greek into her busy schedule. .There were several courses in Old and Vliddle English to get through in addition to courses on Beowulf, Chaucer and Middle English Literature. For a girl growing up in depression times, from a large family and with very little money, spunky Dr. Pedigo finally made it. Whereas students generally favor contemporary literature, Dr. Pedigo prefers the classics, She says, l like the oldest literature the best and would rather read Homer and Virgil and the very classical things, and know them throughly as they open the key to everything else. She reads the contemporary literature too, but feels we should remember that literature is somewhat static--it doesn't move forward. Dr. Pedigo emphatically believes that, Nobody has been better than Homer. In science the very latest is considered the very best and in literature it's quite the contrary. However, when she reads other works No one is going to teach you literature, you are going to discover it. she reads everything the author wrote. She has been through all of Proust, there and back, reading his small things as well as the big--also Henry James, Faulkner and Hemingway. lt is not her impression that one book tells the story. Many students have been undecided whether they should study English literature before American and we asked Dr. Pedigo about this. I don't know. she replied, I'm such a believer in the fact that everybody has to choose these things for himself. l'm not a classic major, I majored in American literature but it was in the area of literary criticism that I was dealing with, about writers who wrote about all world literature. I don't like to make such a fetish about English or American literature, it's like calling a woman a good woman poet, she is either a poet or she isn't, she's not this or that. Literature is either good English, Latin, or American or it isn't. I don't think you can put it in categories. That's for the convenience of the press. In the world there are readers and non-readers everyone must find his or her own way. Dr. Pedigo stresses that there is no particular route to take to become a good reader of literture, She prefers going back and studying early literature, but emphasizes that this is her way, and not necessarily the way all readers function. Students who like to read should simply read a book through in one sitting if possible. Don't read a chapter, a scene or a piece--read it all. Each time you read you will gain more experience, and will understand better. Her students are encouraged to sit around in a circle in class and take turns reading whatever work is being discussed interspersed with sharp and witty commentary from the instructor. No one is going to teach you literature, Dr. Pedigo states, you are going to discover it. l think the love of literature should develop within a person, and without it he's lost. Dr. Pedigo has never lost her faith in the younger generation, not now or when she was younger. She feels they are perhaps reading less, are more distracted, more active. They have faults and GREAT virtues. Dr. Pedigo believes the English Composition courses lOl and 102, are the most practical that anyone could imagine. Unless a student has come from a good prep school or its equivalent, they have not learned how to put a paper together. All their lives long, they will have to make reports in business--as well as other occupations. She firmly reminds students that if you can't write a decent-looking paper, one in which the English has been mastered somewhat, and you don't know how to write a sentence, then you're truly handicapped. All those English 101 and 102 papers is a bit of a drag for teachers too--they have to grade them. Dr. Pedigo says she spends half her time at home grading papers. Occasionally the pressure is relieved by watching sports events on television-- Saturday quarterbackingf' she calls it. A cheer leader in school, she used to sit right in front of the band and watch the games from there. Since she didn't go deaf from this practice, she learned the plays quite thoroughly. This gracious little lady from the South, who can follow sports events--and even relate them sometimes to literature--is admired by students and colleagues alike, for her good sportsmanship and spirit. Anyone who has seen Dr. Pedigo walking around on campus with a purposeful stride, back straight, head high, can believe she gets things done. A large carryall bag filled with books is draped over her arm and in the other a folder of graded English papers, complete with comments and suggestions that are always positive, never negative. Back in the classroom she shares her books with the students, a thoughtful gesture which is much appreciated. At times she is slightly irritated by the starkness of the classroom, feeling that literature should be taught in an atmosphere that is cozy and friendly, with perhaps a round table for students to sit and face each other for reading aloud and discussions. Some comfortable chairs, panelled walls, some books, would complete the picture. Always doing nice things for students and others, she might get her way and such a room could materialize here on campus. Doing nice things for people comes naturally to Frances Pedigo. There was the time long ago when she was walking in Washington Square in New York and an ice cream vendor asked her to mind his cart for a few minutes. When a customer appeared she was distressed to find that she didn't know how much to charge for the ice cream. More recently trying to find a birthday gift for a sister who had been ill and now recovered, she hit upon the idea of obtaining tickets to the first public performance at the new John F. Kennedy Center in Washington. She wasn't bothered by the fact that such tickets were hard to get. Instead the Kennedy Center called her from Washington confirming the reservations to lbsen's A Doll's House, and warmly extended a welcome. Always the good story teller like the Chaucer she knows so well, she will tell a great yarn to get a point across to her students. Kindly, lovingly, tenderly lbut firmlyl she guides her students through the required course of study. When they have finished the course they will never forget what they have learned--nor will they forget Frances Pedigo.

Preparation for this year began in July with the announcement of this year's topic: resolved that the gathering and utilization of information by government agencies in their investigation of criminal or subversive activities by United States citizens should significantly be curtailed. Al Orosa, a member of this years team said, Anytime you tackle a resolution in such a wide scope as this year's topic, it requires a great deal of intrical research. Research seems to be on of Broward's strong points. Many long hours are spent in libraries on and off campus. The debate team consisting of Luke Cermola, Ken Cooper, Dave Fitzgerald, Gary Forman, Pat Heeny, Jerry Hoffman, Maurice Hynes, Fred Jefferies, Al Orosa, Bob Pedrazes, Jan Schenosky, 84 Eric Weinstien spend close to twenty hours a week just reading books and typing quotes from them. Then they spend many more hours in class going through practice rounds. Even though this is an integral part of debate, it still requires the ability of combining research with speaking ability, logic, analysis, and most important, reasoning. Many of the qualities are characteristic of the individual, however, the other factors must be taught. To attend to these intricate details, BCC is fortunate to have at its disposal two highly capable debate coaches. Don Nichols, a graduate of Temple University, and William Strickland, who graduated from the University of Arkansas. Together these gentlemen have moulded a raw debate squad into one of the most powerful debate teams in the nation among small colleges. Our goal is to be the first junior college to qualify for the regional elimination tournament for the national senior college debate tournament, said Nichols. It all adds up to an exciting and enriching experience for all those students who participate in the program. -- -,- - - - - z g -. , ,f - - , - ....-, ,A .T. -V. .. . .,.. .- N- - -z,-41.5- ,,.,, 2--. ... :-- ,-, u Ls-. - .. .- - . -- .. -0- ..'--f A --'g - -.i.c ' 1, N WN- nv, Q. .gif , .

What does it offer its members? With what achievements can it be accredited? Why are the XGls regarded as warmongers and militaristic by independent veterans and other students? A panel consisting of several members of the Veterans Club and several independent veterans responded to these and other inquiries in a discussion organized for the purpose of clarifying the misconceptions surrounding the image of the XGI club in the eyes of the student body. Four primary functions were outlined by President Larry Nagelbush as the purposes for which the Veterans Club is in existence. First and foremost, the XGls are organized with the intention of aiding the veteran in his readjustment to civilian life, he stated. The common background shared by all who obtain membership in the club provides an understanding reception for the si-. -. H 1--..k,-.,4 .-in --1-u..-,. iff-- 'kb-. .. .l Who and Why recently discharged veteran, who confronts a society which is totally different from that to which he has become accustomed. His outlook is of a militaristic nature and he reacts according to the rules of his former society, wherein lies the need to impress others around him by describing the conflict from which he has just returned. Functioning as a rescue squad, the XGls approach the new veteran on campus and invite him to join them at their table in the Hospitality Center. As first Vice-President Harold Gannon stated, Sure, we have to listen to these guys. But, then we tell them, 'Look, these people don't care how many people you shot or how many times you were shot at. Let's talk about who's gonna win the faculty football gamem. Along with psychological readjustment for the returning veteran, the club incorporates in its program a tutoring service for any member in need of academic assistance outside of class. There is also the advantage obtaining guidance from the members who are aware of pr individuals to refer the student vet to for financial and acadl advisement. The Veterans Club has access to current information concerning the GI program and the process through which members may receive benefits. The XGls use their influence as a club to accomplish what an individual alone probably couIdn't, stated Veterans Club member Buddy Clark. The organization recently procured a 32000.00 short term loan, granted by Dr. Adams, to compensate for dilatory checks from the government. School activities rank as a second function of the Veterans Club. Regular participation in intramural sports and the annual Fall Festival are among the contributions of the XGIs to the student activities program. The XGls are active in the community affairs of Broward County and have Q9 ff l i l splayed their civic responsibility on lieral occasions recently. They have lcompanied a group of children from le Head Start program to the Miami Eaquarium and plan another tcursion of the same type for the kristmas holidays. Basketball games, th the awarding of trophies, for riderprivileged children, as well as lippet show and a visit from the bunny for the pediatric patients at lantation General, Hollywood lemorial, and Broward General bspitals on Easter Sunday, are among ie activities that have been sponsored If the vets. l srhaps their most commendable act i service was the XGls donation of ood in the summer of 1971 to an ght-year-old Miramar girl with a rare in-..., blood disease. This received public recognition and prompted a letter of commendation from President Adams praising the concern the Vets have shown for children and youth of this area . Considered by Nagelbush to be least important, the social activities of the Veterans Club are, nevertheless, an essential part of the complete services provided for its membership. The majority of the XGls are several years older than the average student on campus and have developed different outlooks from those of their academic peers. Thus, they rely upon their common background as a basis of social contact, extending beyond the home and academic lives and serving, as one XGI stated, as a social outlet Buddy Clark, member of the Veterans Club, expounded views conceming purposes and functions of the organization. in which the vet may relax and let himself go . Occasional forms of relaxation include parties and picnics, the latter usually including the wives and families of those members who are married. Competition sports, such as basketball and football, are among the favorite activities in which the members participate. Contrary to the policy of most collegiate organizations, there are no commitments made by members when they join the XGls, the belief being that the necessary commitments were made while the veterans were in the service. For example, relatively few demands are made upon the members in regard to participation in club activities. The attitude, lf you can't make it, don't worry about it. May you can come next time , gives the impression of a relaxed atmosphere within the club, rather than a perpetual battle for the accumulation of merit points. Nlonthly dues of three dollars are collected from each member for the privilege of taking advantage of the activities and services offered by the Vets Club and for use in the activities which they sponsor. The Veterans Club has no policy of discrimination in regard to sex, race, or creed. One need only be a veteran of the armed services with an honorable discharge to qualify for membership. The most effective example of their diverse backgrounds was illustrated by a poster used to attract the attention of the new vets on campus. It read, Our president is a Jew, our first vice-president is a redneck, our second vice-president is a Catholic, our secretary is a hippy, and our treasurer is a conservative . Concerning the resignation of a club veterans member, the panel of questioned felt that it is an individual decision resulting from a desire to fulfill needs and wants by means other than those offered by the Veterans Club. No club, not even ours, can help everybody , was Buddy Clark's ,AN-A i evaluation of the situation. The independents, however, maintained that walking up to the XGI table in the Hospitality Center is parallel to stepping into the military world once again. The veterans responded by denying the relevance of any such atmosphere by upholding that there is an element of the Veterans Club which is composed of new members who are still in the process of readiusting, to the extent of creating the image of a militaristic outlook. Diversity is one of the dominant elements of the XGI Club. Various topics, ranging from draft dodgers to the role of the Veterans Club in relation to the student body, may provoke controversy between club members. Gannon's statement, l just don't like draft dodgers , compelled Buddy Clark to announce, I like draft dodgers. I think anybody who can get out of the service should get out of the service. An if I ever counseled anybody and l could think of a way T 1 'ff - ' .J- if to tell that person how not to get drafted, I would do ir . Another member of the club stated, Pm very ami-xcl. Idon't think they represent the true student body, but only a small majority , wherein lies a controversy within the XGls in regard to the role of the club as a part of the student body. One thing which is stressed at the beginning of each term of orientation, stated Nagelbush, is that there is no political affiliation within the Vets Club, although members may also participate in the Young Democrats or Young Republicans activities. As an example of this political independence, President Nagelbush cited the current problem of procuring a permanent location for the club's annual New Years party. We can have any VFW or any American Legion Hall that we so choose, but their provision is that we provide them with members. We refuse to become associated with any Independent veterans listen and respond to Veterans Club members as they compare the philosophies of the two groups. political organization whatsoever, because we're so diverse in our opinions. We concentrate more on school and community functions than on social activities , he stated. The XGIs are not organized for military purposes, but for the benefit of themselves in their readjustment to civilian society and for the purpose of sewing their college and community. They are representatives of the student body as a whole only within the concept of the general image of the college that they promote to the community. They are representatives of themselves within a group of people with a common background. They are diverse, yet unified in the achievement of the primary goals of their organization. In the words of President Larry Nagelbush, A lot of guys lvetsl assume the Veterans Club is an organization in remembrance of the military, which it isn't. The only thing we have in common is that we're veterans .

So does every male. But I have a special interest in them, to me they are more than just bodies. When I first started at B.C.C., I was amazed at the sight of all those girls walking around campus. I sat in front of the library and watched them walk by, and I knew at once that this is where it's at. They all were friendlier than the girls in my high school, and besides, there were more shapes and forms than I could ever ask for. I began to wonder why I had spent all those days cutting school and girl-watching down in Miami, when B.C.C. was just around the corner. l've always enjoyed studying girl's physiques. As I remember, my first grade teacher needed a little work on her buttocks, and my junior high school Principal could have used a bust development course. You see, to me a body is more than a sex object: each shape has a unique artistic form that should be molded to its highest degree of excellence. When I watch a girl, I look at her calf muscles, her arms, and lof coursel all the other essential areas. The beautiful movement of each muscle reminds me of a perfect machine. This completely flips me out. My favorite muscle machine is the leg, and recently there have been some masterpieces around B.C.C. This semester a lot of calves have come into sight for us leg freaks, legs in perfect muscle tone, with shapely calves and firm thighs. Many were spiced with additional features, like a healthy tan or a soft texture. I have also seen a few disasters around campus, such as hairy legs, horse legs, stick legs, and those with the texture of sandpaper. I even saw one girl with long, oily, dark hair sticking out of her fide io eorge. e lilzeo y orange flourescent panty hose. If that wasn't bad enough, the next week I saw a really nice looking girl with a beautiful torso, but with legs that were anything but attractive. She had somehow neglected them, those legs belonged on Baby Huey. Honestly, sometimes it's enough to make a leg freak eat the school lunch. A lot of times, when I see a girl who needs help, I go over and offer my services. In the case of Baby Huey legs, I did just that. Unfortunately, she ignored me, and walked away thinking that I was a pervert. It would have been so simple, for her to do a few exercises to firm up her legs. I wanted to suggest toe raises, leg lifts, and a little bicycling. There are many girls at B.C.C. who could use this sort of help. Today it is hard to tell what a girl looks like, because so many of them wear jeans. Jeans can be very misleading. Often a female who looks dilectible in informal clothes puts on a bathing suit and: BOING! Instant midriff bulge! It usually takes a girl with a good physique to wear a short mini or a vanishing bikini, so most girls stick with the hide-it philosophy. However, most girls with body problems can be helped, especially a certain potential, and they owe it to their bodies to keep fit. This is where I do my thing. If a girl is sincere, I am more than willing to devote a generous amount of my time into helping her get into shape. For instance, last summer I met Norma, who wanted to lose excess weight land believe me, she had plenty of itll After a two and a half month training period, with a good diet and vigorous exercise, she had lost 35 big ones lpounds.l Not only that, but she was in fine muscle tone. She still needs to lose an inch on her hips to have her perfect shape lfor each individual, this is different, due to bone structure, height, etc.l However, in Norma's case, I did more than just improve her figure. I convinced her to girlo boclaeo while they are so young. Everyone change her hairstyle, and she boug ' some outfits to show off her n shape. Now she has confidence herself and has become somewh ' more outgoing. This is one example an all around make-over program.

What the letters Q stand for are health, physical education and rec- reation. The HPR department, under the leadership of R. L. Landers, who is in his ninth year at BCC, has progressed considerably over the years, and diver- sified to the point that now such courses as casting and angling, horse- manship, and skeet and trap shooting are offered along with the traditional offerings which include bowling, golf, and tennis. VWth a staff of intelligent and dedicated instructors whose main concern is the physical and mental well-being of students at Broward, our Physical Education program is one of the very best around. Ask any student! Unaimed Defense-lleiu Slule ui living WHAP! BANG! CRASH! ZOWIE! Like something out of an old James Bond movie, the twenty-odd females dubiously watch their stalwart instructor demonstrate on a fellow student. ...and this is handthrow number l, he states with an impish grin as he expertly twists the girl's wrist and sends her flying to the ground. ...Handthrow number 2, he chortles gleefully after the baffled girl climbs back to her feet. He grabs her wrist, gives a sharp pull downward and sends her reeling. HO. K., Ladies -- practice, he calls, as the girl victim collapses in a corner. Of course, I am being quite facetious. Although the class is primarily one of defense, no one in the class has ever been hurt, either by an instructor or another student. Haven't you ever wished you could fell a bully with one well placed karate chop? Haven't you entertained marvelous daydreams where you, Sylvia Bumberstein, and James Bond effortlessly waded through the evil lackeys of Dr. Njet, felling them right and left with expertly placed hits and throws? Haven't you ever been envious of Captain Kirk as he leaps at some Gorblat from the Planet Hegis-Org and kicks him in the face and throws him over his left shoulder? Well, lVlr. Porterfield's class in unarmed defense won't make you into a secret agent, but it will allow you to walk down a dark street with far less trepidation that you might otherwise have experienced, and give you at least a fighting chance should you be apprehended on a deserted stretch of road. The techniques are purely defensive ...nearly everyone relies 7 . ' if on an attacker for consummation. For example, there is the bar and hammer lock which one uses when someone tak a swing at him. The techniques have two main categories---come-along an throws. Comealong are just that---techniques one uses whe one wishes to move someone---to take a bully to a policeman or to hold a burglar till help comes, ll MIGHT try to hol on to a burglar--RIGHT ON!!!l And throws, well, they ne little explanation. Most of them are designed to throw an attacker to the ground so you, the victim, can take flight, or temporarily disable him. I say him because our class is all female, though there is a class for males also, where slightly different techniques are learned. Different techniques, because women usually must worry about defending themselves from an attacker almost twice her size, weight, and strength. Along with the throws and defense techniques, one learn common-sense rules of safety, both at home and in car. One learns how to secure his home against a burglarp what to do if you're ever caught out on a deserted stretch of road with your car dead. What to do when you're living by yourself and you hear someone moving around in the next room. What to do if someone leaps out of a dark alley and grabs you But if you are thinking of joining the class so you won't have to do exercises--forget it. Mr. Porterfield starts each class with five minutes of warm-ups and five minutes of exercises. These are designed to get one physically fit, I imagine so one can defend themselves with greater alacrity against a three hundred pound purse snatcher .... lt's a pity though, that lVlr. Spock s famous nerve-pinch was lost in the Annals of Star Trek history ..... Oh well,--anyone for come-alongs? N :.,.- HN' 'H i 1 Yi: is by far the most demanding of the competitive sports today. Every day the grapplers have to go a rigorous 3 hour work out of running, exercise, and drills lfor example, taking your opponent down to he matl which are done over and over again. day before a scheduled match, the Coach holds wrestle-offs and in each weight class, the men challenge each to determine who will wrestle the next day. There are 0 weight classes beginning with 118 lbs. and running through nlimitedg sometimes there are as many as three of four men each weight class trying to make the first squad.

The whole purpose of Intramurals, according to Thomas Burke, head of the program, is to encourage within the school for non-varsity players. This is the where enthusiasm counts more than talent, and just everyones enthusiasm can find its favorite stomping in the wide variety of events scheduled during the academic year. The Intramural program is divided into two main team and individual sports. Those that are run on a ' basis are basketball, football, softball, volleyball, and track. In addition, numerous individual sports are ' golf, bowling, table tennis, fencing, archery, weight handball, paddleball, tennis, cross country, and pool as well as men may participate in most events and all are encouraged to enter the competition. Coach emphasized that, if you don t see your sport, come In talk to us about it. One year we even had a chess in Intramurals.

For the frat teams, a point system has been established, Each event carries a certain weitght in points, ranging from 120-150, and at the end of the year these points are added for a grand total. The team that has accumulated the highest score is given a replica of The President's Intramural Trophy. If a fraternity wins this overall award for three years in a row, then they get to keep the impressive President's Trophy itself. For clubs, a similar point set-up exists. However, the clubs are considered a different category, and the highest-scoring team wins a special Club Trophy, rather than competing with the fraternities for the President's Intramural Trophy. This year should prove an exciting one in the way of competition. For the past two years, Omega Chi has recieved first place, and if they accumulate the most points in 1971-72 they will be able to keep the Intramural Trophy. Surely, this provides the incentive needed for tough competition among the various teams. They are already fighting it out with an immense amount of energy and enthusiasm. Who's going to come out on top? It could be you-why not test your talents at your favorite Intramural sport and see? l'm going to--because l won't get turned away this time. 1 4. - f -f.-75' ix If Dean Young had only known when they asked his okay for slave day . . .

She loved to dance, to laugh. Yet somehow, it was always her innocence that touched people. For Nancy life was just beginning to unfold, she was a child who awoke each morning to a world of new found joy. She saw everything through those wondrous, wide eyes of hers. Those of us who loved her know one thing for certain, wherever Nancy is now, it must be beautiful, for Nancy was beauty itself. fm 4 V x I-'P' NlW'+3Gf'v Al I ff f'-W if? 'Nm fx A A dream has come true for the many administrators, faculty, staff members, students and citizens who longed to bring low cost educational opportunities closer to the people of Broward County. For these are the people who make the college, and they were awarded for their efforts on Thursday, February 24, 1972, when the official dedication ceremonies for the North Campus of Broward Community College took place. l ri l a We Welcome You, North Campus 1 BCC's own Symphonic Band, under the leadership of David Snively, set the mood with their concert while distinguished guests, including many North and Central Campus students arrived. Students from the Central Campus and North Campus worked together to set up displays for the various student organizations in hope of informing new North Campus students of the opportunities available for student involvement and possibly - f Ye' yr ji ' af f Z .

Samuels was proud to be' a part of the group to bring7 educational services in centers accessible to the entire county. He has, witnessed the growth and development? of BCC, Then called Junior College of Broward County, BCC began 12 years ago with 700 students and has increased 12-fold. ln the past four, years alone, BCC enrollment has increased 80'Z,, with an expected enrollment of 25,000 within the 1 I l l l l decade. According to Samuels, the,L college offers many carefully! developed programs of study forti students of various backgrounds and? abilities. ' BCC Foundation, then recognized the Alumni Association. Joyce Hartman of the association of which she is honored to be the first president. The Executive Dean of the North Campus, Dr. Harry Smith, introduced North Campus Student Board Chairman, Kathy Loper, and Vice-Chairman, Rob lVlason, both of whom represented the student body. Both students were recognized as members of the charter student body. All students who had enrolled in any of the courses offered on the North Campus during its charter year of 1971-72 received this document. The keynote address was given by the Director of the Division of Community College, Dr. Lee Henderson. He stated that BCC is the Dr. Harry Smith offers support - from a cfstance - to Ron Mason. l i l Albert Robertson, the Director of the ii 1+ spoke about the objectives and goals . . l l l mseventh college in Florida to expand to multi-campus operation. The ommunity college campus is a place f operation not of confinement. The ommunity colleges of Florida pioneered this idea and now serve one-third of a million students. According to Henderson, the community college reaches out to the people. As an example, he mentioned BCC's own effort: Nlan and His Environment, a program of study shown on television for the home viewers and has 1800 enrolled for credit. The quality of how well the community college serves its purposes depends on these four requirements: lll the student's motivation to learng l2l teachers to channel this motivation, l3l the availability of resources, and l4l the evaluation of students and institution to see how well these requirements are being accomplished. BCC is a supermarket of ideas that is a service to all citizens of Broward County. The program continued with the traditional ribbon cutting designating the official opening of the new buildings. A symbolic tree was planted by Smokey the Bear, student representatives and Dr. Harry Smith. While refreshments were being served to the public, an English style debate, which requires audience participation, resolved the assertion that 24-hour visitation should be allowed at all public college and university dormitories. Comments were thrashed back and forth between the members of the BCC Debate Team and the audience for more than an hour. The Central Campus students bowed to the victorious North Campus students who won all the intercampus athletic events scheduled except the women's golf match. The North men's golf team won seven matches to the Central's five. Zachary Bentley, of North Campus, held first place, with Bruce Bernard, of the Central Campus, coming in second. In the women's golf competition, the Friendly sports competition kicked off NC dedication i Okay! lM1o took the arrows?'i Central team beat the North, five matches to one. Individually, Gay Nlarsh, of the North Campus, placed first, with Debbie Fischi, from Central placing second. Average scores for the archery competition led the North to another triumph. With averages of 172 to 76, the women of the North came in tops. Gay Marsh and Caron Nairon, both from North Campus placed first and second respectively. Although the men archers from Central tried hard, they still sang the song of defeat when the averages favored the North. The Central's 188.6 lost to the 205.6 of the North. Individually, Don Burns lNorthl was first, and Rick Fitzsimmons lCentrall was second. Not meaning to add insult to injury, the North Campus again defeated the Central Campus in two tug-a-war attempts. Big Brother Central may be keeping a watchful eye on the new North Campus, but after this display of fine sportsmanship on the behalf of the North, it appears that they are doing all right! IFS Great! Agree Faculty Hello, North Campus! It's great to have you in our family. Your recent addition has brought vitality to BCC. New students, new buildings, new ideas abound. But, did you realize that everything you represent is not totally new? The majority of North Campus faculty members are veterans of the Central Campus. Have you ever wondered how they adjusted to their new home, how they feel about you? Mr. Campbell, head of the Communications Department, remembers the transition to North Campus with realism. We started Term I, 1971 in a makeshift condition: we held classes in a building that was never intended for such. We even had to install shielding material above the walls so that students would not be confused by instructions coming over the walls from adjoining classrooms. Now, in the second term, we have two beautiful buildings and the instructional facilities are such that the faculty may take considerable pride in them. All of our telephone lines in the first term were hooked into the downtown switchboard. We now have our own switchboard and internal phone directory. lnstructor's offices in the old building were makeshift cubbyholes. Now each instructor has a sizeable private office, with outside exposure through large picture windows. Weeds and sand around our buildings have been replaced with grassy lawns. As we grow in functional capability, the rough edges have been smoothed away from our day-today routine, and we work toward becoming the ultimate in educational institutions. The hardships of beginning a new campus were greatly eased by the spirit of cooperation exhibited by the faculty and staff. Many North Campus departments consisted of just one person, and most of these people did double duty for other functions that were not adequately covered. There was, and still remains, a dedication above and beyond duty. Mr. Campbell it was not unusual to moving furniture or the insuring that facilities and available. The remarked that see instructors business staff were open librarian has doubled as an audio-visual specialist. The one man counseling-student services staff has been available to students at all hours. Indeed, the attitude of helpfulness and spirit of enthusiasn on the part of all North Campus personnel has been a source of pride to all. History instructor Ralph Clark also recalls the beginning days of North Campus. lt was a little hectic at first. However, he feels the new campus has given us the chance to start experimenting, lt's an opportunity to build while avoiding the mistakes of our past experience. By a visit to the Pompano campus, it is evident that it has a lot to offer. For example, as Mrs. Neda Hill, English instructor, pointed out, the atmosphere is definitely lovelier. There is a congeniality among both the students and faculty, you truly feel like one big happy family. Clark remarked that he, too, felt the North Campus had high spirit and morale. Everybody knows everybody. It's by Candice Ross small, informal. And North Campus is where students are not numbers. Perhaps all this is due to the exciting architectural set-up of the school. The buildings are linked together, and the faculty offices are surrounded by the student classrooms. Accessibility is a plus according to Clark. Just what will the future be like for the North Campus? Campbell predicts it as rosy. Our interest in student government, publications, and all student functions is on the rise. i look fonzvard to a real student center, to a fully developed Speech and Foreign Language program, to a complete spectrum of English offerings, and to a Reading Laboratory. Along with our Physical Education Faculty, I look forward to athletic demonstrations and contests for this campus -- as well as to a modern gymnasium to hold them. Along with the nuclei of other divisions, I look forward to full programs in mathematics, science, arts, technical education, and to all of the functions and courses normal and appropriate to a community college. Mrs. Hill also sees the future as bright. The students are so enthusiastic, and I've been generally impressed with their abilities. There is bound to be an increase in participation in student activities. The campus is definitely growing in all ways, moving on to meet the demands of the community. lt's interesting and exciting to face the challenges of this growth. And, as Clark says, Though we enjoy it here while it is small, we are determined to keep it as enjoyable when BCC North Campus is big. ...and Students at North Campu ...T ggi 6 .

Such enthusiasm is typical of the students at our Pompano branch of B.C.C. This big, happy family seems to truly enjoy itself while learning. The reasons for this apparent success are varied, although North Campus offers a number of positive qualities which appeal to all. Such comments as, you can always find a place to park, and its so casual, small and comfortable, show that the New Campus definitely possesses those rare assets which benefit the majority of the students. Betty Fulling, freshman, feels that she wouldn't be going to college at all if it weren't for North Campus. I don't have the time to drive to the Central Campus. and I was self-conscious about being an older student. North Campus is very convenient, and I think because of its smallness it's friendlier. I enjoy hanging around campus here. Other students have expressed similar ideas. They tend to feel more a part of a whole , a special group of cooperating individuals. They take pride in going to B.C.C. and have interest in their classes. Many think that this has resulted in a very satisfactory teacher-student relationship. They feel free to drop in and see their instructors at any time for help or just to chat. Everybody knows everybody. On the whole, North Campus seems a utopian institute of knowledge. However, even paradise can have its flaws. Students still find fault with some of their instructors. According to freshman Martha Wininger, the administration does not screen part-time teachers well enough. There should be a better system of evaluation before some of these people are hired. Many of the other complaints from the student body originate with the construction of the new buildings. Although the majority of the students find them architecturally exciting, there are some difficulties which must be overcome. As Mrs. Fulling points out, the large glass picture windows are often distracting. It's hard to concentrate with all that goes on outside. There is also the common complaint about the temperature in the classrooms. The thermostat is set at 650, making it wise to bring a sweater. lt is evident that the problems of North Campus are far from insurmountable. In fact, they are minor in comparison to the overall image. As one student commented, we have a few bugs to be ironed out, but all in all I enjoy going to North Campus. Its a lot better than the campus of the big ivy league college which I attended my freshman year. I've learned more from my courses here, and I've definitely enjoyed the campus life. What else needs to be said? elebrate Life Our Town was the major production presented by the BCC Drama Department for Term ll. Performed April 4-8, it was directed by George Cavanagh who said he had waited a long time to direct this, his favorite, play. The play, written by Thornton Wilder, is unique in its purpose and manner of presentation. It attempts to find a value above all price for the smallest events of our lives. EmiIy's joys and griefs over lessons and birthday presents are small, everyday events of value in this play. Our Town is set in Grover's Corners, New Hampshire and the action takes place on specific days between 1901 and 1913. It portrays the routine daily life, and daily important events, in the lives of George Gibbs, lplayed by Calvin Gloverl, Emily Webb, lNina Coheni, and their families. Their respective parents were played by lVlidred lVluIIikin, George Dunlevy, and Constance Scott and Wayne Rogers.. Each act centers around a scene of family life in which is introduced such colorful characters as thier milkman, the constable, and the paper boy -- casual conviences. Cohesiveness is attained through the narration, and general helpfulness, of the Stage Manager, portrayed by Larry Ellis. Act I shows a complete day in the town and particularly in the Webb and Gibbs households at a time when George and Emily are still growing up. The two remaining acts present both family and street scenes in relation to the courtship and subsequent marriage of George and Emily, and Emily's premature death. Although specific dates, places and characters are given, it is apparent as soon as the play begins that it is life itself rather than individual lives that is being enacted. Life is being presented rather than represented. The people, the characters, and the time ln are the All, the Everywhere, and the Always. The real genius of Our Town is in Wilder's success in making the ordinary interesting and in portraying intrinsic value. Our Town is therefore a type of religious festival celebrating life. This life is the simplest and least pretentious one can imagine. Wilder succeeds in achieving a literary masterpiece by using the materials of human nature to present the eternal and universal residing in the human mind.

Eta PUTMMSM ,l 'N' E Drama Department a Wizard by Julie Townsend This term's Children's Theater production, under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Ullivari, proved to be another success for the Broward Community College drama department. The lfWzard of Oz, L. Frank Baum's classic for children of all ages, is a musical fantasy that takes Dorothy and her dog, Toto, through an imaginary fairyland. They are running away from home when a storm hits their farm and Dorothy is injured. She is unconscious for 'several days and during this time she dreams about her adventures in the fanciful fairyland of Oz. Dorothy and Toto encounter many baffling experiences before they finally return home to Kansas. They go from place to place seeking help. The Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow become their close friends and go with them on their journey to see the wonderful Wizard of Oz. The good Witch readily helps Dorothy by giving her the magical shoes that protect her from the Wicked Witch. After facing many frightening difficulties, they finally arrive at the palace of the Wizard, who instructs Dorothy and her friends to bring him the hat of the Wicked Witch. They meet his demand and he grants them their individual wishes. As more than 50 presentations were given of the Wizard of Oz, two performers rehearsed each role so that alternates were available. Norman Godfrey and Glen Ellington aptly portrayed the Wizard. Dorothy, played by Sylvia Reed and Pamela Barth, also showed good acting ability on the part of both performers. The part of Toto, portrayed by Peter Kesterson and Diane Woodle, was cleverly done. The other characters in the presentations were Aunt Em lPat Harris and Debra McDonaldl, the Wicked Witch lStephanie Rudakiewiz and Lisa Tatocianl, the Scarecrow lDavid Novak and Ted Geigerl, the Tin Man iBiIl Linnel, the Cowardly Lion lGar Hoganl, the Gatekeeper lLouis Dudichl, Melanie iFredi DeGraffenreidt and Candace Pariseaul, Glinda lSuzie Linius and Michelle Longendelpherl, and the musician lGlenn Ellingtonl. Along with these, such characters as the Munchkins, the Monkey King, the Gates, and the Trees were also well portrayed. The casts displayed outstanding acting ability and deserve special recognition for their excellent performances. The scenery, including lighting and props, was simple yet quite effective in producing the proper setting for the play. ln addition, the creative effects of the make-up used by the casts completed the aura of fantasy which distinguished the Wizard of Oz from any other production of its kind. The play was presented in the Lecture Theater February 16-20. lt was later performed at area elementary schools on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tom Harman, stage manager of Children's Theater productions, has attempted this experiment in the hope that more children will have an opportunity to see and appreciate BCC's excellent adaptation of the classical Wizard of Oz'f Left: Normand J.

Student Recitals . .. Think of the functions you have attended this year in the Central Campus Lecture Theater. Production by the Drama Department, concerts by the musical organizations, ecology seminars, an appearance by Hubert Humphrey and more. Including student recitals. The recitals serve as more than simply an occasion for students of music to get practical experience in performing. They afford the opportunity for students who would not ordinarily attend the music department's night concerts because of jobs or other obligations to experience live musical performance in the afternoon. An that which is far removed, in more ways than one, from the entertainment in the Hospitality Center. Presented three afternoons a term, these recitals give students enrolled in applied music courses lpiano, voice, guitar lessons, etc.l the opportunity to solo. And while the participants are overwhelmingly music majors, there is the possibility of those studying music asa minorarea to perform also. However, just as the participants are music students so is the audience to a very great extent. This term performances on the piano were most frequent at the recitals, numbering 19. Singers and classical guitarists followed, with eight and five respectively. However, while students performances in the Lecture Theatre numbered three, there was also a special student organ recital given at Park Temple United Methodist Church. Participating that day were Sandy Moss, Shirley Hass, Karen Holt, Marge Freeman, Tom Sutter, and Celia Bagwell. Featured performers during the campus recitals included lin order of appearancel Joe Accomando, Jeff Preston, Steve Gilbert, Marianna Dickerson, Tim Kunselman, Bruce Mason, Kathy Patrick, Marc Gaspard, Theodore Welding, James Stansbury, Yolanda Norberg, Barbara Kapke and Larry Kohlman. Also, John W. Todd, David Skantar, Christie Dahmen, Barbara Black, Rita Caudle, Karen Reichert, Richard Hatton, Nancy Nielson, and William Paul Monsour. Those appearing more than once were Calvin Glover, Barbara Geller, Kathy Clayton, Mike Dacher, Barbara Smith, Monica Wilson, Larry Linet, Sarah Philips, Irene Horzepa and Karen Holt iwho was also called upon to accompany other performersl. Peggy Keller, Gayle McClintock, Irene Horzepa, Tom Sutter, George Kovach and Steve Rider were others who assisted in the often overlooked job of accompanying.

Highlight of the chamber choir's tour was performing for a crowd of over 2500 at Disney World Cinderella, You Don't Know What Y u Missedlw., alt was lVlonday, lVlarch 20, at the lmreasonable hour of 4:30 a.m. that Chamber Choir assembled at the BCC Fine Arts building. There we stood, rubbing our eyes, wondering if the seven hour bus trip that lay ahead ould relieve our exhaustion. owever, even the thought of a monotonous bus ride could not uelch our excitement and nthusiasm. Traveling with us to share ur experiences were the locally enowned Renaissance instrumental roup,S0me Other Time, and a jazz oup of BCC students, The Trio. Dr. homas H. Cavendish, our director, looked toward the coming trip with an aura of optimism. Thankfully, it was lconveyed to us. We arrived in Jacksonville about noon. Florida Junior College extended nerous hospitality in providing lunch or us. lVlost of us were tired, having found no comfort in the bus seats. We performed under bright white lights in our formal attire. The combination of lights and exhaustion did not lend a helping hand to our concert, though it did go reasonably well. The small audience appreciated us and we took pride in our rather good accomplishment. Gainesville was the next stop. Here we stayed at the Ponderosa lVIoter Lodge. Strangely enough, most of us spent our long awaited freedom sleeping off the day's trials. Everyone seemed thankful for a decent bed and a solid eight hours of sleep. Tuesday provided interesting fare. We left Gainesville for the next stop, Orlando. Here we ate lunch and gave an informal concert at Valencia Community College. The stage was highly unusual. We performed in a rotunda, with a balcony above us. The acoustics were marvelous and the reception was just as fine. The people we met were unbelievably friendly. They made us feel warm, rather than a mechanical act for the amusement of the moment. Piling once again into the bus that afternoon, we wondered how Charlie, our bus driver was taking our excursions. He seemed to be in far better shape than most of us would ever be. His good humor helped us maintain our sanity on the bus rides. It was on to Cocoa Beach and the night's lodgings. Parties and hilarity highlighted our stay at Howard Johnson's in Cocoa Beach. The hall at Brevard Community College, where we sang in formal attire on Wednesday, was breathtaking. The stage was complete with orchestra pit and mechanical acoustical shells. The seats were plush and the second floor balcony lent the feeling of a close theatre. Colored lights highlighted our outfits, and the audience warmed to our music. The experience was fantastic. Most of us were sorry to leave the beautiful theatre, but it was back on the bus to Orlando, for the next day would bring the trip to its long awaited spectacular finish -- our final engagement at fabulous Walt Disney World. That night we stayed at the Ramada lnn in Orlando. We dressed for dinner, and had a night of swinging excitement. Each member of the group had a choice of attending a variety of parties, or enjoying a leisurely swim in the pool. Those who wanted to, made their own degree of indivisualistic chaos. My roommate Kathy Patrick and I chose sleep as the best outlet, thinking of the coming day of footvvork at Walt Disney World. Thursday brought the excitement to a head. We entered Disney World as guests of the generous management and were given five attractions gratis. The high point of the day came at 2:30 p.m. when we set up our equipment in front of CinderelIa's castle and sang our popular numbers. An audience of 2500 people was quite a change from the small theatre groups we had played to for the first part of the tour. The expanse was not to be believed, but the trusty public address system carried us throughout the park. 1 if 4' lt was 5:30 p.m. when we boarded the bus for the final ride. There was regret and gladness going through us. We were happy to be getting home, but we looked nostalgically back at the four days and nights we spent together, learning about each other and sharing with those who heard us, our common bond -- music.

WW65 WI fi OJMIUNIW 'Community Involvement has been a :ey phrase around BCC for the past :ouple of years. A great number of eople were made aware of it when roward Junior College was renamed roward Community College in 1970. But l wonder how many students ealize that the idea of getting the :ommunity to participate in college activities isn t really a new one. The eed for the idea was planted during he first years of the college' s life and 1as grown with it. Dne person who has helped expand ind develop community participation Jimmy O. Woodle, Chairman of the ivision of Fine Arts and head of the usic Department. Voodle came to BCC in 1963 to start ln instrumental program, That year hree students were enrolled in the 'ourse entitled l nstrumental nsemble. The following year a small rchestra accompanied the musical roduction, Finianfs Rainbow. The orchestra grew when Woodle nvited members of the community to lay with the group. lts name was -hanged to Broward Community ollege Orchestra. Since that time the 'rchestra's rolls have been about 5071 :ommunity members and 5O'X1 itudents, primarily music majors, who eceive one credit hour for playing. rom the Broward Community ollege Orchestra evolved the Broward ymphony Orchestra which today oasts approximately 60 members. ow in addition to accompanying CC musicalsiThe King and I and The ound of Music in the recent pastl the rchestra plays four or five concerts year. But what do the students think f playing music with the adults? ls he atmosphere and discipline at ehearsals different from those, for example, of the BCC Jazz Ensemble? Well, the majority of students interviewed said that they did, infact, enjoy playing with adult members from the community. Barbara Kapke, a music education major who plays trumpet in Broward Symphony Orchestra, BCC's Jazz Ensemble and Symphonic Band, feels that there is much less of a competitive feeling in orchestra than in the other groups iwhich are composed almost entirely of students.l iBCC's Symphonic Band, under the direction of David Snively, does not include a string section, Broward Symphony Orchestra does.l Barbara pointed out that the nonstudents are here for their own pleasure. lVlusic education major David Durand, who also plays trumpet ip all three BCC groups, agreed: they re here because they like to play. Everyone agreed that the orchestra's discipline is better than that of the students groups. Stated flutist Dickerson, The discipline is Marianna better than it would be if they were by Monica Wilson all kids. Larry Kohlman, another trumpeter in the three instrumental organizations, feels that while they are not as much fun as the other rehearsals, more is accomplished. Larry made another interesting point during the interview. He feels that there is a need for community members in the orchestra since they play the instruments most students don't like to play. Woodle furthered the idea of community involvement several years ago by initiating the Annual Concerto Contest. Previously, when the orchestra wanted to play a particular concerto l would ask a student to learn it, the director stated. But three years ago, for more variety and to get more students interested Woodle decided to hold open auditions in a concerto COl'l'lIESt. This year's winners, chosen from five who auditioned, were Kathy Gattuso and Ernest Liotti. Also featured was Barbara Kapke who soloed on the piccolo trumpet for J.S. 'R 'R Hn Bach's Brandenburg Concerto. It was necessary to rent the trumpet from a New York firm last November specifically for the March concert. Kathy is a 13 year old student at Plantation Middle School. She has studied piano 10 years, most recently with Gerald Snyder. For the concerto concert she played the first movement of Bach's Piano Concerto in D Minor. Annual Concerto Contest . . . to get more students interested Ernest, 17, is a student at Stranahan High School. He has studied piano for only three years, all under Woodle. The concert audience at the Central Campus Lecture Theater heard Ernest preform the third movement from IVlozart's Concerto No. 20 in D Minor. All of the orchestra members interviewed said they enjoyed preforming with Kathy and Ernest. The most frequent comment was those two are really good. Likewise, the two pianists were very excited about playing with the group. Last year Kathy played with the Hollywood Philharmonic, while this was Ernest's first performance with a full orchestra. Woodle stated that he was very pleased with the concerto concert which drew one of the largest crouds of the year. lt seems that there was wall-to-wall people in the Lecture Theater, which again leads to another point. The director stated that there is a definite need for a new auditorium. Both the music and the drama departments have found the present Lecture Theater less than fully adequate at times. Hopefully BCC will add a new auditorium in the near future so more people can enjoy the upcoming Broward Symphony Orchestra concerts.

But it was almost rtainly something new for Lerybody - and perhaps that's more portant. lt, by the Way, was me 1971-72 Bcc .rtist Series. hile the first programs did not draw large an attendance as desired, with .lery event the Parker Playhouse udiences became larger. Darlene Jilliams, director of the Cultural tffairs Office, explains that this was ,ue to the poor publicity for the iitial performances because of ontractual misunderstanding. 'lrs. Williams added that a spokesman rom the University of Miami has tated that it usually takes three years or a program of this type to reach he level BCC's has attained in only -ne season. 'wo of the five programs took place luring Term l: Metropolitan Opera oprano Phyllis Curtin, and a special llhristmas Concert of music by Ralph laughan Williams laughan-Willaimsl. lsometimes spelled nd while, as Mrs. Williams stated, the born in order to rtist Series was ulfill purposes 3 and 4 as listed in the zollege catalog lthat is, to provide rograms for students which will nrich their personal lives and to serve s an educational and cultural center :or South Floridal, three of the rograms had the direct effect of ringing students closer to some utstanding figures in the music orld. The Christmas program was ne of these. 'potlighted for the evening was bass- aritone Peter Harrower, who has ppeared with opera companies across the nation and who was awarded back-to- back Fulbright scholarships to study in Europe. Rebecca Langstroth, a l97l cum laud graduate of the University of Miami School of Music, handled the soprano solos. But BCC was more than ably represented by Thomas J. Cole, director of the BCC Concert Choir, who completed the featured trio, the Concert Choir itself: and the Broward Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Jimmy Woodle, Chairman of the Fine Arts Division. The Gregg Smith Singers came to Parker Playhouse for the first program of Term ll, but Gregg Smith himself came to BCC's Central Campus and acted as guest conductor during a Chamber Choir rehearsal, directing The Coolinu from Samuel Barber's Reincamations. The emphasis that afternoon was on dynamics and diction, and those who attended the concert Sunday night heard an outstanding example of both from a group that represented only half of his entire ensemble lthe appearance in Fort Lauderdale was part of an abbreviated tourl. Outstanding performances that evening included Michael Hennagin's The House On The Hill a musical arrangement of five poems by Edwin Arlington Robinson which featured baritone Bruce Fifer lwho possesses a fantastic rangelg The Cat Duet from caocchmo Rossini's Sins of My old Age, and Aesopfs Fables, a group of little operas by Gregg Smith. Three Sacred Concerti and Psalm 127 by Heinrich Schutz were given new dimensions when performed by what the director calls spread singing. This newest Gregg Smith innovation calls for the singers to be positioned not only on stage but throughout the auditorium to give stereophonic lor quadrophonicl sound to live presentations. Pianist Gina Bachauer gave a powerful and extremely well-received performance featuring the impressionistic Gaspard de la Nult by Maurice Ravel, Also interesting to note was the lighting which her husband had designed. Rather than having the stage bathed in light with the audience in darkness, there was a single rather dim spot on the performer and the house lights remained lit throughout the performance. The day following her concert Miss Bachauer gave a master class in the Central Campus Lecture Theater involving BCC student Sarah Phillips and the winners of the Concerto flnrlrlmu 7 Darlene Williams Makes CAO Vital T BCC by Julie Calsi i Tucked away neatly between the offices of Cooperative Education and the Student Government Association in the Administration building is the Cultural Affairs Office. A small office from which big things are coming, especially when one considers the initial purpose of its inception. On November l6, l97l, the Board of Trustees voted that the position of Coordinator of Cultural Affairs be established, primarily for the purpose of promoting the Artist Series. This was ll days after the first program. Shortly thereafter Darlene Williams filled the position. According to Mrs. Williams, the main reason for the lag in publicity was a contractual disagreement. Last spring the college had made a verbal agreement with the management of Parker Playhouse, while at the same time signing contracts with the performers. Then the playhouse management changed and BCC was left without a contract, without an agreement, and without the certainty that there really would be an Artist Series -- and when all these things came about it was too late for an extended promotional campaign for the opening program. But in less than a year Mrs. Williams has made the Cultural Affairs Office a vital force on campus. She has initiated the Edu-Cultural Calendar which gives a monthly survey of not only events of the Fine Arts Division, but seminars leverything from cooking to fire sciencel, sports activities, planetarium shows, movies, and Hospitality Center entertainment. Mrs. Williams brings to BCC experience of work within the community and as a personnel manager with Jordan Marsh. Bhe says of her job, It's new for me. lm delighted with my position.

What is even more striking is tha1 outside of New York there were only! 250 performances in i964-65, yet 2836 in l970- 7l. That represents an increase of 700'Xs in the number of performances, while attendance increased 6002. And what may be even more surprising, in the realm of classical programs, ballet and contemporary dance scored at the top in both general and student attendance. ji f gg.,-ygt,k1'f:.':'T-Wy NW 3 .'-- -uuxiu i , If W: Janet Curry makes plans for K-ettes. X ' a l K Q, Circle K, K-ettes Keep Identities by Julie Calsi Circle K may be going co-ed, but rest assured, Separatists, that K-ettes will not be dissolved. Circle K is the international collegiate men's service club, founded by the Kiwanis brothers in l939 and sponsored by them ever since. K-ettes is the female equivalent, though a relatively new organization and sponsored by Circle K. And while it may be unusual, most of them involved enjoy the separate-but-equal status. Bruce Snipes, District Secretary, states that Kiwanis Club feels Circle K is a men's organization and should stay that way. And the women agree. Under the present system both groups may work together land often havei, and yet can still carry on individual projects. They have collaborated on the Share the Treats program at Halloween and on taking a group of underprivileged children to Disney World. Also, while Circle K was helping to coordinate the movement of trees for Project Survival lor Plant Dayi K-ettes were serving refreshments to the planters. ln addition the girls have visited and decorated Memorial Hospital for holidays and at Christmas provided a migrant family with gifts and dinner for a week. They also assisted in the Elks carnival for crippled children, and were named the Nlost Valuable Service Club in the Community by that organization. Under Past-President Dick Russell, the BCC chapter of Circle K was chosen as the number one group in the state. Bob Morici succeeds Russell, with Stan Weedon taking on the duties of vice president and secretary. Rick Diaz is treasurer. Derry Rogers is the new president of K-ettes, Janet Curry, vice presidentg Anne lVlcDonald, secretary, and Diane Saxton, treasurer. Although several of the girls were asked to pledge sororities, they declined, although this is certainly not to say that the service organizations have no purely social gatherings. Members put in a minimum of lO service hours a month, and as one put it, lf things on campus need to be done, they come to us. That may include anything from tutoring to planting trees, cleaning to ushering. Anyone interested in becoming a member can join either of these organizations, their tables are next to the Student Activities Office on the east side of the Hospitality Center. ft' Campaigning for student government ofHces evoked an enthusiastic response from some students. However, only 924, a minority of the student body, cast their ballots in the Spring elections. 'he month of October, 1971, was iecoming a drag. North Campus vasn't hitting on a damn thing. l iurried to my eight o'clock class, l noticed a sign posted on the bulletin noard. There wasn't anything unusual ibout the sign. lt was white with vords written in black magic marker. I'he interesting part was the words, of zoursez Trip to Naples, 6 students, Jct. 15-17, sign up in Counselor's Jffice. Naturally l jumped at the Jpportunity, to have a little fun. l had io idea what the trip was about - all l :new was that l wanted to break the nonotony of October. After boarding the bus at Central Campus, l soon became acquainted with my North Campus peers. We all seemed to hit it off tremendously well. Three hours passed and we finally arrived at our destination, Flamuda Ranche, in Naples. After checking into our rooms,dinner was served. During dinner we were informed of our activities for the weekend. The activities were a series of mental excercises, fun and er-hum. As that trite old expression goes, all good things must come to an end. Well, our weekend came to an end. l could see this was the beginning of a super EW FCDRMULA GCDVER E I ITIATED BY TUDE TS ' CDRTH CAMPU By Charles Carter North Campus. Six students attended the Student Leadership Workshop from North Campus: Glenn Sylvia, Geny Cottam, Bert Straub, Jessica Beadles, Jay Miller and me. Together we decided that it was about time to start a student government. A few other students joined the bandwagon and decided that it was time to start a student organization. The main thing was to get an activity started -------- and fast. Through gossip we heard that many students were leaving North Campus for Central due to lack of activities. We also needed more student participation which we were definitely lacking. We decided on a happening to introduce our campus to the community, supply food for the migrant workers of South Florida, and increase student participation. There was a tremendous turn out of 400 students when Coventry, the folk-rock group, entertained at our North Campus happening l am proud to write that we accomplished two of our goals. lTwo out of three isn't bad.l We were still lacking student participation. Guess what? We recruited about seven new members. We decided to give the tentative organization a name: The Student Coordinating Committee. Ron Mason was named chairman. Time was running out. The year was almost over. We realized that we needed an official government, so elections were scheduled for January. We also realized that on other campuses the student bodies were getting into the Christmas spirit-- but not on the North Campus. So, the committee was given money to decorate the school and throw a Christmas party to end the year with a bang... Time was running out fast. Elections were right around the corner. The student Coordinating Committee were wracking their brains, The problem: how to run an election. After thinking it over, we decided to call on our faculty members for advice. The results: the making of a board. Elected into office were Kathy Loper, chairmang Ron Nlason, vice chairman, Glenn Sylvia, treasurer, Gerry Cottam, secretaryg Jere Jacobs and Charles Carter, historians. Also elected were nine board members. So diary, as you can see, the year will be recorded as a good one for North Campus. And with the members we have now, we know the North Campus will be at its best in 1972-73. YUUNH Vllllll llllllllll Illllllllllllll ll by Julie Calsi Jane Carroll encourages the newly enfranchllsed to exercise their voting power. Elephants. Lots of elephants. . , .the bookends, the stapler, miscellaneous objects, and the pink pinata suspended in the corner: elephants. They are one of the most unique features of the office of Jane C. Carroll, supervisor of elections in Broward County. Although she notes that she is the first Republican to hold that position in over four decades, Mrs. Carroll also explained that her collection of elephants started long before she held any partisan interest. But in addition to being wife, mother, and elected official, the supervisor is also a student of Broward Community College enrolled in a Monday night Business Law course. Mrs. Carroll has been an English and reading instructor at the junior high school level and is currently completing the requirements to renew her certificate. Periodically it is necessary to earn six college credits which may be put toward a degree. During Term l took a course in Business Administration. But beyond the presense of elephants in an office that is otherwise pretty much what one would expect lmaps, flags, Florida statutesl there is something else that one remembers. And that is the willingness of the woman to talk with visitors landfor interviewersl even without a scheduled E ' - , 'A tl Ll appointment. Mrs. Carroll noted that the newly enfranchised voters have registered Democratic at a ratio of almost 2:1, and stated that The two-party system is here to stay. lEdward Fl.

King deserves to be a legend by Dennis Wechter B. B. King is indeed a living legend and trying to concretely describe a legend is like explaining God to an athiest. lf you know anything about B.B. King, then you know he is not just a blues guitarist, but he is Q blues guitarist, He has been labeled everything from the greatest blues guitarist in the world to the father of the blues . There is, however, much more to the legend than most people realize. This somewhat overnight success lovernight in that he has been well-known for only a few yearsl is the result of many years of diligent work. For example, when l asked B.B. how long he had been playing the guitar, he replied: l've been trying for 25 years, l don't think anybody can ever really learn all about playing the guitar. Then, there is the question of professionals. B.B. doesn't consider himself truly well-known yet although he and his group spend 12 months a year on the road. We've just started to play places that we've never played before. He feels that he needs more exposure, on television for example. We've appeared on TV a few times, but we still haven't been able to play the way we want to. l asked B.B. if we have lost some of the true meaning of blues today. The basic feeling of blues is still around, he said. Blues can be heard in almost all types of music and is common in the styles of quite a few well known guitarists. One example of this is Eric Clapton, who remarked that B.B. King was like his father as far as music was concerned. According to B.B. at his last jam with Clapton, he told me that as a kid he used to listen to the sounds of B.B. King. Recently, B.B. was on tour with the Rolling Stones in Europe, and he said that he was able to relate to them as very professional musicians. That had to be the ultimate in jam sessions. As far as the audiences are concerned, B.B. feels that they are the same wherever he plays. The audiences in Vegas are the same as they are anywhere else. B.B. plans to release some new albums soon. We just keep recording, and they keep making records. B.B. is very happy with the recording techniques of today's studios and will be recording in New York, Nashville, and Atlanta. Sounds like quite a bit of work and success for one man. But this man, as l mentioned before, is a legend in his own time, and one that l think everybody will agree deserves to be a legend. B.B. King is . . . The King of the Blues . Silver Sands: On campus for a student recital, two community residents peruse Silver Sands. a C h a n C e As BCC's yearbook-magazine, Silver Sands is published each term excluding summer sessions. lt strives to present life on campus and in the community through feature articles and photo essays. Since 1966, Silver Sands has adopted the concept of the yearbook-magazine. One of the primary advantages of this idea is that it allows the freedom to employ the basic fundamentals of journalism along with a greater degree of creativity than is generally found in a yearbook. Mrs. Betty Owen, who is also advisor to the Silver Sands staff, stated, We should be proud of the fact that Silver Sands is a forerunner of the type of publication campuses around the country are adopting today, realizing that the traditional yearbook is dead. However, she continued, l think Silver Sands has a problem in that a few people have to do a lot of work to produce a magazine. As both are sponsored by the college and are, therefore, student activities, Pan Ku and Silver Sands are open to all students enrolled at BCC. Mrs. Owen encourages any student who is interested in working on either magazine staff to drop by the Publications Office in the east parking lot. I feel that education is so much more than the classroom, she declared.

His experience on the staffs of the Hollywood Sun-Tattler and the Fort Lauderdale News make him an invaluable asset to both his students and to the Phoenix. Hall commented, I think that, compared to what it lthe Phoenixl was when I came here, it has grown considerably. Most people on the staff have a sense of direction and a purpose. They know what their aims are as far as journalism is concerned. One idea he upholds strongly, however, is that students, just like everyone else, have the right to make mistakes.

Another new addition is a phonograph record which features, according to Nlrs.

There seems to be a growing interest in creative expression, stated Mrs. Owen. This is reflected by the number of poets and artists working on the magazine.

I'he officers of the Alumni Association eel the purpose of the Alumni Xssociation is to provide a medium hrough which the alumni can recreate ir continue social, cultural and academic experiences at Broward Iommunity College. These experiences with the college tend to create a better life through a network of effects that evidence themselves over the years. The various resources and services that are offered through the college can influence the lives of all those connected with BCC. BCC is constantly revising their educational programs and attempting innovative programs to serve the entire community. One of these new programs is Out Reach . Through this program BCC is installing learning situations anywhere around the county that there is a need and desire for any course offered at the college. Classes are being held in condominiums, recreation halls, business locations, and any appropriate place where a group of people have a desire to enrich their Alumni Gfficers ALUMNI PRESIDENT Joyce Hartman Connolly, alumni president, graduated from Broward Community College in 1971. At BCC she was a member of Phi Theta Kappa, the national honorary scholastic society, a member of Delta Psi Omega, the national dramatic societyp appointed to Whois Who in Junior Collegesg and a staff writer for the BCC newspaper and Pan Ku and Silver Sands, the college magazines. She is currently a pre-law student at Florida Atlantic University and is planning to attend the University of Miami Law School.

He has been with the First Bank of Plantation for four and a half years and is currently a Vice-President of the bank. He is active in the Plantation Rotary Club. At the present time he is working with Davie Rotary trying to organize a BCC Rotary for the students currently enrolled. He is married and has one daughter. lives in any field. The spirit of fellowship and being associated with BCC can lead to both spiritual and cultural experiences that can enhance the lives of everyone connected with the college. Every semester numerous musical concerts and plays are offered by the Fine Arts and Drama Departments. We feel that not only the community should derive benefit from these performances but particularly the alumni, since they have at some time been an active segment at BCC and should be aware of the many activities that are being offered. Therefore, the main objective of the new officers of the Alumni Association will be to keep the alumni informed about the many activities and developments at Broward Community College. ALUMNI SECRETARY-TREASURER Camille Lowry Nasbe, the new secretary-treasurer of the association, graduated from Broward Community College in 1971.

T Dear Alumni: Broward Communitv College began just over a decade ago, and today it is recognized as one of the finest community colleges in the nation. From an initial enrollment of 70l students and a faculty of 48, it has since grown to almost 9,000 students, a faculty and staff of over 485, and a modern multicampus operation. During the past decade alone, over 40,000 Broward County students from all walks of life have been registered --- many as part-time students seeking only to fulfill a particular educational need or to participate in cultural and enrichment programs. 0f those seeking a degree objective, over 5,000 have received their diplomas. Today many of these former students are now entering, or have already established themselves, in the mainstream of community activities and the business and professional services of our rapidly growing County. As a result of interest expressed by a number of these Alumni who now wish to assist the College in its future growth and development and to serve the succeeding generations of students, the Alumni Association of Broward Community College has been established. we welcome this new organization and extend to each of you a cordial invitation to become associated once again with our great and growing College family --- for as a student or a citizen, it is still yggr College.

Having learned to ead at an early age, he found that he ianted to experience all the things which he was reading about'-in other iordshto be the greatest of historical iums. This interest led him to study mguages in high school, in the hope hat this would help pave the way for ventual world travel, with ipportunities to meet and rap with 1any people. Yet he married right fter high school, and says that as a esult he got realistic very quickly. Ie went to work and to junior college t night. Later he transferred to the lniversity of South Florida, still majoring in languages. While there he forked as a waiter and also unloaded ihiskey from boxcars.

He went to college at night to keep himself intellectually active. In 1968 when Florida Tech opened he changed his work shift to nights and went to school in the daytime. About this time he decided that languages were a bit too narrow so he looked for a field that was broader in career potential to which he could apply his background. Jarnagin was very interested in pyschology but it turned him off because of its emphasis on individual behavior as opposed to man as a social being. He decided that sociology was a better choice because he feels that by using sociological perspectives we can approach people with the intention of understanding on an individual basis. lt's very easy to get into a mental rut but by so doing you deny yourself the chance to more fully experience life. Try leaving yourself open. The names of his children reflect his Irish ancestry. There are two boys, lan, 75 Sean, 35 and one girl, Erin, 6. His wife Cheryl is Italian. Jarnagin wants to initiate a sociological organization for interested BCC students. He would like it to be an application of sociology to areas which are revelent for and important to the students. Any student who would like to participate should get in touch with Ron Jarnagin over at the Sociology Department. 'l f you I ' l Jill Smith Looks to Prevent Problems One of the most positive aspects in the process of attaining a college education is the broad practical experience which many instructors bring to their classes. This may be true in all fields, but is particularly evident in BCC's Psychology Department. Jill Smith, teaching at BCC as part of her internship under the National Academy of Science and the Commission on Human Resources and Advanced Education, will receive her Ph.D. by December or March. Originally in pre-med, Miss Smith switched her major with the intent of becoming a clinical psychologist. She later worked at Tuft s Institute in New England where, as she greatly simplifies it, she trailed the pediatric psychologist around all day.' Although she has most recently Man was originally adapted to live in harmony with nature worked in the neuropsychology department of Lakeville Hospital in Massachusetts, Ms. Smith is concentrating on becoming a school psychologist, a more preventative discipline. While she does not believe that there is any single cause for the stress that plagues many people today because there are so many determinants of your behavior, Miss Smith adds, I do think one problem is man's own technology. Man was originally adapted to live in harmony with nature. Miss Smith states that she is not as active in the ecology movement as she had been but believes that if you want to get anything accomplished, do it through people. One way is simply writing letters to urge legislation on important issues. want to get anything accomplished, do it through people. .s -A . - - I . -4, . i -x ,A She points out that there is a brow haze hovering over South Florida and that we are lucky to have the ocea breezes lbut adds that in the subwa tunnels of New York there is 20 times, ll the acceptable amount of carbo monoxidel. ,L f l i I I II q I .f I l 1 Q . f by Julie Calsi i .l. I v,! Il ,ft Miss Smith admits to becoming mor interested in the educational aspec of psychology and would like to see special programs established fora special classes, although a two yearll college is limited by upper divisionl' schools in what it may offer. Labor-management relations and current social movements are discovered to be explicable with psychological principals of behavior. Psychology takes a flying leap off the Lashley Jumping Stand and into a student's daily existance in a Jill Smith class. l Xu ? 1. 'Zu '1.Lv.91i,l5rlLi.5.'. i l i Walker Restructures Classroom Situation by Ted Turnbull lf one were to waik into room C208, Dr. Walker's combination office and .psychology lab, they would perhaps ,see Dr. Walker at his desk going over a list of test questions submitted by one of his 21 student assistants, or sitting with a group of students lwho don't have to be therel explaining the iprocedure of reinforcement to get a rat to press the bar for a food pellet, or holding a meeting of his assistants to discuss a reading assignment in The Control of Human Behavior, or what to do on Garbage Day. ,Garbage Day, lWhat is that?l It is a regularly scheduled break in lecture so that the student assistant can take his group to the library to look up in the Psychological Abstracts a topic of interest, or to the psychology lab to check their depth perception, or response time to different colors andlor intensities of light, or to the Hospitality Center to observe and discuss behavior in the light of principles covered in lecture. To Dr. Walker, Garbage Day, psychology lab, field trips, open seminars and student assistants mean student involvement li.e. getting students involved in their own educationl. Letting the student know what he is getting into before he gets his degree is part of what I consider to be a quality education. :'The psychology lab, although in need of more equipment, gives the student experience at being a psychologist.

Dr. Walker supervises the psychology lab, i l I i l l in practicing the principles of behavior on laboratory rats, other students, or anyone willing and available. This will make him a better student when he transfers to a senior institution and is called upon to demonstrate such principles as shaping or the effect of different reinforcement schedules. Shaping is rewarding a response similar to the desired behavior. Reinforcing correct responses at variable intervals is more effective than reinforcing every correct response. Assistants are students that have taken at least one of Dr. Walker's psychology courses, which means that they have been observed for at least four months, but usually more, and that they show interest and a willingness to work a little harder to improve the quality of education for their fellow students. They do this by reducing the student-teacher ratio from 90:1 to 9:l, They have already mastered the concepts being lectured by Walker and, therefore, can answer most of the questions put to them by their assigned students. They also make up test questions, take roll, administer quizzes, grade all tests, and each must perform some type of experiment using the laboratory rats. The testing procedure is different from that used in most other classes at BCC, in that three out of four class days are used for testing because students are asked to verbalize several of their written answers. When not in class the assistants are usually in the psychology laboratory giving make-up tests, performing experiments, grading tests, discussing assignments, listening to Dr. Walker talk about graduate school, and sometimes they even play a game of chess. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons all assistants and Dr. Walker get together to discuss reading assignments and any problems that may have arisen since New teaching techniques designed to improve the quality of large claxroom education are a success according to Dr Walker This IS the second term that these techniques have been used at BCC The technfques are still controversial because they call for a restructuring f the classroom situation Succex or faflure of a new charge Therefore let us look at Dr Walker Wllllam R Walker was born December 20 7938 In New York Clty He attended public schools In New York Fort Lauderdale and Detroit before his enlistment ln the US Navy After his discharge he attended Palm Beach Junror College Then he transferred to the University of Florrda to become research assistant to Dr Wllse B Webb who was doing research on the behavioral effects of amphetamlnes on rats and conditioned sleep ln dogs using morphine NDEA fellowship to continue his studies at the University of MISISSIDPI Attafnmg hrs MA ln 7967 and contlnurng hrs studies for one more year he became an assistant professor In the Department of Psychology at Georgia Southern College After two years of mstructrng IH the area of General mychology Experimental Psychology Social Psychology Theories and Systems Statistics and doing research he fulfilled the doctorate requirements and was awarded the PhD ln 7970 by the University of Mrsslsslppr Dr Walker wanting the proper children and being a sailing enthusiast decided that Fort Lauderdale and BCC were the places he wanted to live and teach He has been a member of the BCC faculty since then and IS currently holding classes In General Advanced General and Applied Psychology ' o ' ' . program often depends on whofs in Graduating in 1954 he awarded 3 environment for his wife and two the last meeting This meeting also functions as a free period where questions like, What is the role of psychology in education? pop up. To which walker replied, Part of psychoIogy's role is to make education easier. Since 1920 psychology has been dealing with the principles by which organisms learng we have literally millions of pieces of information dealing with how organisms learn. Education has been slow in using these principles. l used to sit in psychology courses in graduate school learning about these principles of learning under a traditional technique of teaching and wonder WHY. l now believe that we possess the techniques not only to improve the quality of education, but, can teach more in a shorter period of time only if these techniques are ultima. Two more aspects of Dr. Walker's psychology classes are field trips and Wednesday night seminars that are designed to bring the student into involved behavior trip to for the Most of contact with people who are in different aspects of changes. Recently a field Sunland, a state institution mentally deficient, was held. the inmates can do little more than breathe when they first arrive at Sunland. Many of these patients once considered incapable of being educated, are now clothing and feeding themselves, walking, talking, and some even master simple work assignments as a result of using the Q I Walker's favorite recreation - sailing. same principles of behavior modification that are being lectured in class at BCC. After the field trip, tvvo psychologists from Sunland were guest speakers at one of the Wednesday night seminars. They brought their own video tape to illustrate to the class exactly how certain principles of behavior modification were used to teach language skills to the mentally deficient. At another Wednesday night seminar Ken Engles, the trainer from Ocean World, explained how he uses these same principles to train his porpoises Barring physical injury, the only reason one of my animals fails to learn a desired trick is due to my teaching technique, not his ability. When the animals fail to perform it means l failed to perform. Dr. Walker, often goes sailing with his assistants who have the time for an afternoon of talking shop, relaxing, swimming and just socializing with other people vvho have similar interests. On one such occasion he stated what he believed to be the role of education. All education is technical education. lt is technical in the sense that educators want their students to acquire certain skills. The skills acquired, of course, depend on the field the student has chosen to study. At the college level, the purpose of education should be two-fold. First, particular content should be ansmitted to the student by guiding s reading lan assumption is required: at the student has acquired reading illsl. Second, and more important, e student must be given the skills to swer his own questions. he greatest gift a man can have is not swers to questions, but the means answer his own changing questions d a feeling of comfort even though me questions go unanswered. The rther a student goes in education, e more he will realize that answers e fewer and fewer until he reaches e point where no person can answer rtain questions for him. t this point he must ask the question f the world around him by whatever leans he can rather than depend on thers for his answers. He is now -arching, not doing re-search. For, at Pais point where no person has the i swer, there is nothing to re-search. ,lv 4 T . .

Many replies get an immediate recognition, but throw an answer like Respiratory Therapy at them and about 801, of the people will frown and ask, What's that? Respiratory Therapy is an allied health field which specializes in the treatment, management, control, and care of patients with deficiencies and disorders associated with the process of breathing. These patients range from newborn infants to the very old. Nlan can survive without food for uses of medical gases, oicygen-administering apparatus, humidification, aerosols, positive pressure ventilation, chest physiotherapy, cardiopulmonary resusitation, and mechanical airways. There are also many fascinating aspects of Respiratory Therapy. Have you ever been in a hospital when a Code Blue or a Code 99 was announced? These are special emergency calls given when a person has a cardiac or respiratory arrest. Immediately, the Respiratory Therapy team, along with some doctors and nurses, react to this life-threatening situation with amazing speed and iw weeks, without water for days, but without oxygen, it takes between four to six minutes for the brain to deteriorate and nine minutes for the cardiac arrest. The Respiratory Therapist and Technicians are trained specialists who aid the physician in restoring the heart-lung system to normal function and to assure adequate ventilation. This therapy is used primarily in the treatment of heart and lung ailments, such as cardiac failure, asthma, emphysema, cerebral thrombosis, drowning, hemmorage, and shock. These specialists are experts in the theraputic accuracy. The call for help is answered with competent , and medical personnel functioning their best capacity--for a person's ll is at stake. lt is really a rewardi experience when a near-dead persor revived and reaches out to you in feeling of helplessness.

A diet deficient in Vitamin C will lead to scurvy. Most people when they are suffering with a cold take aspirin to reduce the discomfort and fever.

And if you have transferred to BCC from a four-year institution, you have had relatively few of your opinions aired. According to Ray Gover, resident counselor in the hospitality Center and therefore one of the most accessible counselors, some students return to a two-year college because the social life at a university may have prevented them from doing as well as they might have otherwise. Gover continued that others have come to BCC because they are from the area or have visited Fort Lauderdale and prefer this climate. ln addition, there are more work opportunities in Broward County during the season than in other parts of the state, or the country. The counseler states that one of the most frequently heard comments is that the students have never had such good instructors. At most four-year universities, graduate students teach some classes: at BCC all instructors in university-parallel programs have at me -. - 5 5. Q Ni JJ l gy' ' G 'l 5'-c , 'if-.. , s , 1 .

I are here during the major semesters credit BCC with another plus: the lack I Of obvious Freshman-Sophomore 'l 1 Junior-Senior distinctions. l Jack Hayward, studying for a career in radio-TV production, attended Troy State University in Alabama for a period of a'year and a half about four years ago. Alabama is so backward in its school system that 12 hours wouldn't transfer here, he stated. Born in Miami, Jack lived in Tallahassee where he met his wife who is a graduate of Florida State University. She is from South Broward, and Jack has been at BCC since December. He said he wanted to get my grade-point average back up and added, l have a completely different attitude now: I like school. Before I just went. Jack also credits BCC with having a lot of good instructors. He plans to transfer to Temple University next year, but adds, I miss the woods: I'm a country guy' and it's not real country around here. Barbara Kapke, a music education major, attended the University of Hartford lConnecticutl for two years beginning in 1965 as a nonmatriculated student. She entered BCC in August, 1970. UH is comprised of Hartford College and the Hartt Conservatory of Music resident counselor, Hay Goven i l A T1 3 5 ,l it is at the' latter that Barbara She stated that there is a rapport between students and in the music department here is due, at least in part, to the sizes of the two schools. She however, that her trumpet was a good influence even he was busy furthering his own career. addition, Barbara called BCC's evaluation of teachers at the of each term a waste of time, rt, and paper. She explained that re are few teachers she feels alified to evaluate, since in taking uired courses the student often es not know enough about the ject to begin with in order to Iuate what has been accomplished the end of the term. As long as as at Hartford we never had it, continued. eatre major Glen Ellington attended orida State University from ptember, 1969 to June, 1971. He t after his grades dropped because 1 was doing a lot in theater and n t go to class.

His experiences have led him to believe that all registrar's offices give you the run-around. At FSU l was told that l could only return with an A.A. degree. Glen added that the people that were most helpful to him in going through the channels of registration at BCC were Glen Rose and Malcolm Black in the registrar's office, Mrs. Aurelia A. Wagner in counseling, and Dr. George Young, Dean of Student Affairs. GIen's first problems in transferring occurred when his transcript could not be transported from the registrar's office to the counseling offices, a matter of one flight of stairs in the Student Services building. Later he was told to write a letter to the Academic Standards Committee telling them why l can make it here when I couldn't make it there. 1 Barbara Kapke, at practice, cites a better rapport at BCC. 53 - Teacher evaluations: waste oi time, effort, and a Glen, one of the more opinionated of transferees, added that the only areas comparison he could make between the two schools would have to be based on the drama departments, the SGA, and the general academic atmosphere, which Broward doesn't have. He noted that FSU is production oriented with the emphasis on the business side of show business. In Tallahassee those working for Ph.Ds. or Master of Fine Art degrees get most of the major roles and for the student there is no time for explanations, according to Ellington. Acting suffers tremendously here. . .techltechnical theater, lighting, costuming, set design and construction, etc.l is overemphasizedf' he continued. People here are well-rounded: the integration is better. The best word for the SGA Ellington . in . ii li 1 feels, is unobtrusive. It hasnt affected me. l have no idea what they're doing. At Fsu Glen and his brother were active in the Center for Participatory Education because they were the two overt tarot readers on campus. Facilities and equipment were provided for students to give classes that were not ordinarily offered. The most noted of these courses in the SGA-sponsored program was that given in revolution. Said Ellington, he taught it from the view of 'I don't advocate revolution in America but if you wanted to do it, here's how. ' ak Sk QF At a college the type of BCC, there are many different people, of many different backgrounds and many different experiences. Because of this each holds a slightly different point of view, shaded by the clouds of one's own experiences. And at times one can see all the better because of the clouds. But remember also that one man's Utopia is another mans hell. Glen Ellington calls SGA unobtrusive ll 'he Landscape Technology Program is sting its spell over an ever-increasing umber of students at BCC. ln this lepartment, there are many students rom various segments of the 'zommunity with a common interest ivho are demonstrating that this two .fear program is a vital educational -:oncept of the future. Jllr. Dudley Palmer, head of the i andscape Technology Program T onsiders it avery realistic and practical pproach to a career in a lucrative eld. The students are people who re about our environment and are working to better it now. During the time they are involved in the program, hese students come to realize that no after which phase of this expanding .ndustry they decide to make their reer, they will not only benefit hemselves, but society as well. erein lies the most important thing: he Landscape Technology Program ands for something that is basically sential to all people. lt teaches individuals how they can onstructively avert environmental tastrophe and reverse the trend of egradation of our surroundings. The goal of the program can be expressed in the works of Joseph Joubert: We have received the world as an inheritance. None of us has the right to damage it - and everyone has the duty to leave it in an improved condition. The students in the Program are doing what they enjoy and display an enthusiastic esprit de corps. ln the very beginning courses, they are taught to recognize that plants are providers of energy to the world's living organisms ' man and all animals and even non-green plants. Their efforts have started right here on the BCC campus. They have received favorable cooperation, as witnessed during Plant Day and Project Survival in the Fall of 1971. Negative comments are sometimes heard from people who claim that the importance of the ocean, the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom has been overstressed and that the possible consequences of the problems encountered have been greatly exaggerated. There are always skeptics, but the experts, though disagreeing on how and when the ultimate extinction of the human race will come about, agree on one thing: Something must be done now in order to change the timetable of destruction. The students in the Landscape Technology Program are planning to do something about these problems by taking advantage of the many opportunities that are available in the planting, growing and marketing of ornamental plants, as well as applying the art of landscaping to balance function with beauty of form. For example, in this program one can learn how to utilize certain plant materials to fit the various needs of man, thereby, improving his environment. Besides being aesthetic, shrubs and trees help to purify the air, abate noise, stabilize soil, and clarify water. ln the course of study at BCC, the students learn how plants can help to provide privacy and how many exotic, tropical fruits can be grown in yards right here in southern Florida. They also can learn how to control the numerous insects and diseases which are capable of destroying these plants. lnevitably, one learns to appreciate and become an astutue observer of the potential and actual beauty of the plant kingdom.

On April 22, lFLO presented its first annual Awards Banquet in the Hospitality Center. Lisa Ruden, faculty sponsor of the organization, opened the evening affair with a warm welcome to the 250 persons in attendance, nearly 100 more than had been anticipated. Despite the large crowd one and all were treated to a dinner with an international flavor. Le cuicine francais consisted of boeuf a la mode,' das Essen deutsch was kartoffel salat und knackwurstp and la comida espanola was composed of arroz y frnoles. Streussel kuchen was served for dessert. Coffee and tea were provided as beverages. The chef par excellence was George Poprowski, a German instructor at BCC. He planned and prepared the menu with the assistance of lVIme. Paulette Cuvillier and Fred Curry, also ranslahon by Nancy Nlixon BCC language instructors. Following the buffet dinner, awards were presented to the outstanding language students of 1971-72 by Jarrett Pharr, acting chairman of the Nlodern Foreign Language Department. One notable student was chosen from each level of German, French, and Spanish. From those the top student of each language was selected, John Bauman lGermanl, Nancy Carta lFrenchl, and Judy Holmes lSpanishl. Nancy Carta was chosen Outstanding Foreign Language Student of BCC 1971-72. ln addition, Lisa Ruden received a special award from her colleagues in the lvlodern Foreign Language Department for her outstanding work as advisor to IFLO. Alvaro Gonzalez, president of IFLO, also received an award for his service to the organization. After the awards ceremony, the audience relaxed and enjoyed songs and dances from around the world. , su .1 - Rewarding in all languages, the plaques reflect BCC students' scholarship.

Why a duck would make the long trip is still a mystery, yet that single duck was the center of a small drama and quite a bit of inquiry. lt began on March 29 when three eggs appeared in the nest. At that time the resident drama people were tempted to dismiss the little addition as an April Fool's Day joke. However, two weeks later I6 eggs had been laid. Meanwhile, department secretary Mrs. Lillian Lennox had started making trips to the campus on weekends to feed the mother. Also, a great network of inquiry had been set in motion. The call went to Larry Ellis lStage Manager in Our fe Duck Dilemma for Who's eot the ciears? J byiuiiecai Townlwho works in the library, asking for any information on the incubation period for ducks. A phone call to the Humane Society, originally concerning Miss Mildred MuIIikin's duck lwhich had a broken Iegl resulted in a reference to the Bird Woman of Fort Lauderdale for the foster parents of Drama Duck. A subsequent semi-reprimand came from the Bird Woman who sent a directive that the duck should be fed chicken mash and baby cereal, or dog food.

Mr. Gandy was going to bring in one or tvvo of his duck's eggs which he knew to be fertilized in order that Drama Duck would not be disappointed. On Thursday, May I7, two ducklings - the only two to be hatched - saw the light of day over BCC. As the few members of the foster family who were present at the time stood admiring, Chief of BCC Security Julius Debroski drove up in an official white patrol car. And over the hum of the finely tuned motor, Debroski, in a voice more reminescent of Joe Friday than Walt Disney, stated, I just got a call the eggs hatched.

Psycho-Cybernetics is the art of communication, how to stand up under stress. Maltz believes that one should achieve success as a A method of freezing will be perfected in the forseeable future that will preserve people and bring them back to life. So says Paul Kent, editor of the magazine Immortality, and proponent of cryonic suspension. Kent claims it is possible right now to halt all further deterioration of the body after death by controlled freezing, done with dry ice and storage in liquid nitrogen. Not everything is known in this area but he feels it is better to preserve imperfectly rather than let the body rot. The first man to be frozen was a psychology professor, Dr. James Bedford. A book was written about this event, We Froze the First Man by Robert F. Nelson. A young man of 24 and 12 others have been frozen. The Cryonics Society, which is forming a chapter in South Florida, professional human being before we can be successful professionals. He spells out success as follows: Reach your plateau on your own terms, be a mistake breaker. Be successful as a person first. lf you reach 652 of your goal then you are a professional human being. Don't be 10 inches small, be 10 feet tall. Be A Professionol l-lumon Being On Your Own Terms by Mary Edling believes that if civilization continues to advance, future scientists should be able to restore the frozen patient to full productive life. This would be done by repairing the causes of the original functional failure, replacing non-functional organs, reversing any freezing damage, and providing desirable rejuvenation. Cryonics will offer the only present alternative to physical annihilation. Immortality is costly in that the whole operation runs around 38,500 plus S700 a year until sometime in the future when all the various health problems are solved. One can take out an insurance policy whose funds will be supplied by shrewd investments. To illustrate his talk, Kent presented a film which detailed the procedure and a successful question and answer period followed. S Sense of direction. A goal has meaning only if it incorporates other people. We must understand the people around us. Anatole France says, It is better to understand a little than misunderstand a lot. U Means you, the professional human being. C Courage, which is not what you have yourself but what you do for others. You are a child of God, you came into this world to succeed. C Compassion--which is the basis for all morality and must be given to another person. E Esteemg have self respect. You must respect yourself before you can respect anyone else. If you don't hate yourself, you've won. Put your integrity on the line for someone you don't even know. S Sense of direction, self confidence. Recall your past successes instead of past failures. S Self Acceptance: be yourself, win, lose, or draw. ' l A1-..i -Q' V , Stanwood Cobb took time out from relaxing on the beach to address a receptive BCC audience. I 0 o I A . I V9 A I1 I V9 - I' l l The stage was the campus lecture itheater, the character, a vulnerable iman who spoke with a wisdom beyond lhis 92 earthly years, perhaps the lwisdom of the ancients, which has :been the subject of his life long search land study. iStanwood Cobb, author, educator, :world renowned public speaker came fto address BCC students in early March of this'year, at the invitation lof Mary Wallace, faculty advisor to the lcampus Baha'i club. Mr. Cobb has lbeen a leading exponent of the Baha'i iFaith since his meeting with 'Abdul gsaha, then leader of the Baha'i Faith, 'in Syria, in the early years of this century. l Following a short introduction by Broward student Gary Burns, Nlr. Cobb addressed the assembly on a variety of subjects touching on the areas of education, world peace, world government, and religion. He showed particular relation to the Baha'i Faith and the Chinese religions and philosophies, which have been the basis of many of his books. Stanwood Cobb was born in Newton, lVlass. in 1881. He studied at Dartmouth where he received his A.B. degree and later received his A.M. from Harvard in 1910. In 1918 he was instrumental in forming the Progressive Education Association for which he has served as both president and executive secretary. He has written more than 26 volumes on the subjects of religion, education and philosophy as well as several volumes of poetry. He served for a time as editor of the Baha'i Magazineandwas one of the co-founders of the Progressive Education Nlagazine. IVlr. Cobb taught for two years at Robert College, Istanbul and another by Richard Leicht two years in Europe before returning to the United States. He was a member of the faculties at St. John's College, Annapolis, the Asheville School for Boys and the U.S. Naval Academy. Notable among his books are his Wu Ming Fu series on Chinese philosophy, his Islamic Contributions to Civilzation, which brought him a personal letter of thanks from King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, and his Radiant Living, a study of happy and successful living through the Bahai teachings. Many of Stanwood Cobb's books which have been out of print for a number of years are being reprinted by Avalon Press. A list of these can be obtained by writing to Avalon Press, P. O. Box 9941, Washington, D. C. i - - . y Ministers Challenge Misconceptions , About HOITIOSBXUZIS To most BCC students and faculty members homosexuality is at best an unsolved riddle. To the two visiting ministers who spoke here this semester, homosexuality is a total environment in which they are completely submerged. The purpose of their speech was to educate, and in so doing, eradicate some of the misconceptions concerning the homosexual's role in todays urban society. Up until two or three years ago, most homosexuals were forced to lead dual lives, and today many homosexuals still live in fear of the dreaded exposure that could lead to complete social and financial ruination. However, the times they are a-changing and according to our guest lecturers, the Reverend Brad Wilson and the Reverend Ted Calloway, both of the Miami Metropolitan Church of God, the times will continue to change. The popular term meted out to homosexuals crusading to right the wrongs is Gay Libber . But in reality, the struggle is much more real than the 'C. K quasi-humorous moniker implies. For example, in California, a state once considered liberal, a person who chooses to show his affection for a consenting adult of the same sex must register with the police as a practicing homosexual . The legislation responsible for the registration was enacted ostensibly to protect homosexuals from shakedowns, extortion, blackmail, and redneck violence. But in reality, only gives the police a place to start an investigation of any sex crimes committed in the area. As do their heterosexual counterparts, most homosexuals find child molesters, drag queens, and other obnoxious homosexuals unpleasant and embarassing nuisances. Todays homosexual is a proud and productive member of society and would like nothing more than to see the swishing limpwristed homosexual image changed to one of an otherwise normal adult male exercising his sexual preference in the privacy of his home. For those homosexuals who have difficulty in accepting the stigma placed upon them, Revs. Wilson and Calloway and their workers at the Metropolitan Church of God provide a place where homosexuals can come to find advice, friendship, and most important, a sense of belonging in a society in which they are often meant to feel they do not belong. Revs. Callovwy and lMlson discussed homosexuality. UBE As the helicopters descended upon BCC soil, the crowd anxiously leaned forward to catch a glimpse of the antici- pated arrival. lVlurmurs like, H That looks like him in there! and l think l see him! could be heard above the noise of the whirling propellors. Several men, obviously members of the press, emerged carrying cameras and briefcases. Finally, Hubert Humphrey stepped out of the larger and more elaborate aircraft and was immediately swamped with greetings from members of the campus community. The senator from Minnesota and Democratic presidential candidate was escorted to the Lecture Theater by Lee Jones, faculty sponsor of the Young Democrats of BCC. There, he was introduced to a packed crowd, which Humphrey greeted by offering his congratulations and best wishes to our growing college. 'N-.. RT Speaking to BCC students only one week before the Florida presidential primary, the candidate addressed himself to the conditions and needs of this state. lNote: Humphrey later placed second in the primary with 18? of the popular vote.l Florida is one state, he submitted, that demonstrates what society is really like. Nevertheless, Humphrey continued, The North seems to be in the South and the South seems to be in the North of the state. He believes that the increasing population, high rate of urban growth, and a large rural section make Florida a reflection of the many American lifestyles. What are we going to do about social structure in America? he asked his audience. What kind of country do you want? What kind of life do you want? Humphrey vehemently opposed the belief that the social and governmental structures should be abandoned and new systems adopted. There's nothing instant except death, tea, and coffee, he stated. You must have perseverance and tenacity to make a system work. The presidential candidate added that there are presently no plans for molding the future of the United States. Thus, he has designated planning the proper use of resources and making committmentsn as his campaign platform. Among the major issues which Humphrey feels are in need of attention is poverty, particularly in rural areas, where he claims the problem is greatest. He maintains that some action should be taken to prevent rural development banks from charging such high rates of interest that rural landowners are unable to achieve a sufficient degree of financial security. This is one factor, he added, which is contributing heavily to rapid urban growth. l 63 Another important issue, and one which he feels will play a major role in the '72 campaign, is the condition of the American economy. While inflation can be disastrous if uncontrolled, deflation is definitely worse than moderate inflation. ln order to curb the rise of inflation, he stated, l think we're going to have to have wage price controls on big business. When asked what his solution to the Vietnam War would be if he is elected, Humphrey replied, End it . A burst of applause filled the theater. How does he propose to enact his decision? I First, l'd set a time when we re going rr all unexpected calm on american campuses... by Nancy Mixon Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. is currently the Schweitzer Profemor of Humanities at City University of New York. The son of a pioneer social historian, he was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1917 and was graduated summa cum laude from Harvard in 1938 with a doctorate in civil law. Schlesinger became a professor of history at Harvard in 1946. The noted professor and historian was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for literature twice, in 1945 for his work entitled The Age of Jackson and in 1965 for The Crisis of the Old Order. In addition, he has authored to be out and then say, 'That's it, we're withdrawing.' l'm not about to be the kind of public official who will send young men into that mess. Amnesty, Humphrey believes, is a serious matter and should be granted only to those who have earned it. A period of repatriation should be required of young men who have chosen to leave the country rather than obey its draft laws. He proposes that working in the ranks of VISTA, the Peace Corps, the Teacher Corps, or another branch of civil service would satisfy their obligation to the country. After about thirty minutes of open discussion with the audience, 5 Humphrey informed the assembl that he must leave immediately for: scheduled radio interview. lnquirin Will you forgive me?, he w whisked away to a section of t faculty offices where his intervi V with a WAVS newsman was conduct by telephone. The engagement complet Humphrey emerged and was on again greeted by a crowd of we wishers who had remained to see hi depart. He shook a few more hand' and answered a few more questioi before climbing aboard the waiti I helicopter. Waving to the crowd, Humphrey ascended high into the sky ll leaving each student to determine hi' A , , own evaluation of one of today s mo dynamic politicians. Schlesinger questioned by student. such titles as The Coming of the New Deal, The Politics of Hope, A Thousand Days: JFK in the White House, The Bitter Heritage, and Vietnam and the American Democracy. Along with serving as special assistant to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, Schlesinger aided Adlai Stevenson during his bids for the presidency 1952 and 1956. He is presently chairman of Americans for Democra tic: Action. Schlesingers appearance on campus: was sponsored by the Youngl Democrats of BCC. The theme of hisi politically-oriented speech was: directed primarily toward the news voters in the 18 to 21 age group. l I The twenty-sixth amendment is more than something that's been tacked on to the end of the Constitution. it is a very genuine opportunity to do something. As l go from my own university and iander about on other campuses, l ote the general feeling that an nexpected calm has settled upon American campuses, the man behind he podium began. Vith the dress and mannerisms of a ypical college professor, Schlesinger poke of the effective exclusion of he young from the system , which, h effect, has denied them the lopportunity to take any part in Iecisions which were likely to letermine their destinies . Such 'procedural grievances , he believes, iave been substantially improved by ,he passage of the twenty-sixth imendment and the work of the cGovern reform commission of the emocratic Party, 'The twentyesixth amendment is more :han something that's been tacked onto the end of the Constitution. lt ,s a very genuine opportunity to do something, he stated. The more young people who register and take dvantage of the twenty-sixth mendment, the more chance you will ave to make a difference as far as politics and our future are concerned. s a result of the latest amendment o the Constitution, Schlesinger ointed out, 11 million voters under he age of 21 have been added to the electorate. ln addition, he supported the activities of the lVlcGovern reform commission for two primary reasons. First, the commission intends to enable the ordinary voter to take a much more active and effective part tin governmentl than he has been able to in advance. Second, it proposes a halt to discrimination in choosing convention delegates. At the 1968 Democratic convention, Schlesinger recounted, only 13? of the delegates were women, 5WD were black, and none were under the age of thirty . The former presidential advisor attacked the Nixon administration in several areas, with particular emphasis on the President's foreign and domestic policies. Four more years of the Nixon administration would be a national catastrophe, he insisted. lt is abundantly clear that President Nixon has no plans for ending the war, no intention of ending the war. He has simply changed its character. He has reduced ground forces, but increased air forces. lnstead of having any plan for peace in Vietnam, he only has a plan for arming and financing a satellite government in Saigon. lNote: These statements were made several days prior to President Nixon's announcement of secret peace negotiations with the North Vietnamese.l lVlr. Schlesinger has never believed that the Vietnam War was not going to be an issue in the 1972 campaign , He referred to the President's Vietnam policy as a ghastly failure , but expressed even greater disagreement with the administration's position in January's lndia-Pakistan conflict, stating, lf realism had been the basis of our foreign policy, we would have supported India and Bangladesh . He also spoke in opposition to the secrecy which surrounded the administration's support of Pakistan. The general balance of his foreign policy has been unfortunate, Schlesinger continued, although Nixon must be given full credit for his trip to Chine. He later added, The reasons the Chinese want Nixon to come are very simple. There are forty-nine of them the forty-nine Soviet satellites. The Chinese cannot afford to let the Nixon trip fail. Furthermore, he condemned the President's domesticpolicy, pointing out the current trend of high unemployment and high inflation. Economic growth,per se, is not all that wonderful, A bellowing gross national byproducts. Unless we restrain the revages of technology, we will betray nature and wreck the patterns of our lives. As a historian, lVlr. Schlesinger established the criteria which he feels to be necessary qualifications for the leadership that will be elected in 1972. . . . Credibility: We must elect men who can be counted executive government of secrecy, as in administrations. on to run the without abuse the last two . . . An instinct for Instinct for foreign foreign affairs: affairs without experience and knowledge is much better than experience and knowledge without the instinct. . . . A concern with domestic issues: Concern with what living in America is in human terms. Arthur Schlesinger spoke with the knowledge, insight, and experience of one who has been an eyewitness on the political front for several decades. He urged his young audience to support a candidate who is committed to changing our country as a means of having some hand in the democratic process during the November presidential elections. sponsored b he America Association of University Professor iAAUPl and SGA featured fiv speakers from among the ranks o BCCs faculty and staff Selected b the student body they were provided the opportunity to extend beyond th boundaries of classroom discussio and to expound their views on th topic they personally feel to be th most relevant issue in todays societ l'. 920l'ge yOu!

Dr. Young is active in such a group. The groupls objective is to help the student understand why he uses drugs, rather than simply to cure him of chemical drug addiction. The main reason for drug abuse, Dr. Young submitted, is a lack of happiness in one's life. l've never talked with a druggie who had a happy home experience, he stated. Doing grass with other people is a communication network for young people who are searching for ha iness.

He received his masters degree from Appalachian State University in North Carolina and has been at BCC for three years. As a species, we exhibit an overwhelming preoccupation with our hair and, more sadly, in our latest years, with the lack of it, he began his talk. From the earliest times of which there is any record, hair-its length, texture, color, growth, and loss - has exerted a strange fascination on the human race. It has woven its way into myth and magic, folklore and legend. Livermon illustrated his discussion on the subject of men's hair with a series 64 peola e are affair! fo ma e waved, afraiclf Lee Jones was the fourth in the series of Dynarelevance speakers. An instructor at BCC for two years, Jones holds a masters degree in sociology. His program consisted of a videotape, compiled by him and a group of his sociology students, on the problem of busing school children in Broward County. He began the presentation by reminding his audience that the recent Florida presidential primary was captured by George Wallace, basically because of his stand on the busing issue. ln addition, Jones stated the straw vote on forced busing in Florida revealed 77M of the electorate against it. Thus, he was prompted to speak with member of the community in order to find out how they are affected by busing. Jones and his group of students chose two local high schools where they hoped to interview administrators, teachers, and students. The first was Plantation High, originally and all-white high school. Two teachers, one black and one white, responded to the question, How has busing affected you in your profession? The first, a black instructor, stated that she feels busing is very necessary to achieve racially balanced schools and she is not suffering any difficulties because of it. The second, a white instructor, insisted that people must be willing to sacrifice personal freedoms, such as that of sending their children to whichever school they choose, so that we can provide equal educational opportunity for blacks and whites. Since he has always taught in integrated schools, busing has not affected him, he stated. The black student questioned is not bothered by the fact that she's bused a long distance because, she stated, I've always been in integrated schools. On the contrary, the white president of a service club sees a definite disadvantage for the black students who live so far from campus that they are unable to return after school hours to participate in school activities. Principal William Hanes was also concerned with the problems that commuting after school hours involves. He insists that it is now more difficult to provide equal opportunities. Students that are bused to school in the morning and must leave immediately after school, for example, are unable to receive help UI ominance over wea er dex. -606 Auermon slides. He began with a diagram of ir structure within the skin. ln dition, his comparison of human ir to chimpanzee hair revealed the ly difference to be that the ape's is nger and thicker. n through the ages, man's hair has mr: a sign of strength, verility, and iasculinity.

However, he was unable P speak with anyone there because he pared, the principal of Dillard High lChool didn't want his students from lillard answering such controversial ilestions as questions about busing. peaking with the School Board's ead of Transportation. Jones learned tat the total number of students eing bused to schools in the county wnually has increased from 16,712 in 961 to 34,509 in 1971. This increase compounded by the tremendous 'owth in South Florida's population uring the past decade. lt was kind of amazing to me that Mongoloid hair will stretch 2021 to 30'X, before breaking. The durability of human hair is another one of its startling qualities, as is shown by that which was discovered in the tomb of Rameses ll of Egypt. Although it is over 3,000 years old, the hair found has not yet completely decayed. Several freaks of nature have resulted from excessive and unnatural growths of hair on the human body. ln late nineteenth century Russia, a man called Jeffizen became known as Lion Man because his entire head was covered with hair. Annie Jones Elliot, born in Virginia in 1863, had a moustache at birth and a full-grown beard by the age of two. 77 - ee joneri we didn't get more cooperation from the school board, Jones admitted. He attributed this to paranoia in education which seems to be running rampant in the secondary schools and the school board. People are afraid to make any waves, afraid to make any statements, afraid to do anything because they're afraid they'lI get into trouble. I think it's about time somebody made some statements. After the videotaped presentation Jones submitted that the two alternatives which go along with the busing issue from which Americans have to choose are assimilation of raced or a pluralistic society. The group of blacks and whites assembled engaged in an informal exchange of ideas on the busing issue which was interesting and enlightening to all. To illustrate the change in men's hairstyles, Livermon showed examples such as the Neanderthal man, Rameses ll, Lorenzi the Magnificent l155O ADl. Spaniard of 1640, Rudolph Valentino l1920'sl, and more recently, Elvis Presley and Ringo Starr. As an aspect of our changing culture, Livermon remarked that it is no longer thought effiminate for a man to have a hairstyle created for him. However, the similarity between men's and women's hairstyles has made them almost indistinguishable from one another. Nonetheless, he continued, man will go on responding to the fascination of hair and using its power, sexually and socially, as he has always done. l l..:1 1' X 'es ' us'-12' -A i l 4i..fAe uhimafe afmodp ere ia fke afmoalp wi in WAZCL you can faifv Frank Branca, psychology instructor at BCC, was the last scheduled speaker in the Dynarelevance Lecture Series. We questioned Branca concerning his personal views on the effectiveness of the series. Dynarelevance is a good idea, but something has gone wrong somewhere, he stated. His capsuled opinion reflects the conclusion that many people have drawn since the program began. Although he was singularly pleased when chosen as a speaker and feels that the others selected are dynamic and relevant people, he termed the program itself a farce. Those people who come are mostly those who feel an obligation to come, he insisted. The audience has generally been comprised of the other four speakers in the series, the sponsor from the American Association of University Professors, other faculty members, and members of the student press. The problem, he seels, may be lack of publicity or lack of interest on the part of the student body. Rather than speak before the small group which invariably attends, Branca would prefer the informal atmosphere of the rap sessions previously conducted by the Social Science department, which allow the student the opportunity to interact with the instructor on an equal basis. Among his greatest rewards as a college instructor is to engage in debate with a student and for both parties to emergy enlightened by for both parties to emerge enlightened by the other. I like for people to attack Branca's ideas, Branca declared. Another reason why the Dynarelevance series was stifled, he suggested, could be because people are afraid to explore controversial topics. DYNARELEVANCE SHOULD BE A PUTTlNG TOGETHER OF MANY DlSClPLlNES PCLHL 6l'Cll'lCa Branca is keenly interested in the different aspects of the educational process which are to a large degree the basis of his work in the classroom and the psychology lab. He is also concerned with the effectiveness of BCC's attempts to provide the student with the necessary background to transfer to a four-year institution. Unlike many of his peers, Branca feels that the ultimate academic atmosphere is the atmosphere in which you can fail. When you do so, he stated, you're saying a lot more than just failing. You're also saying that you tried and you learned why you went wrong. Thus, Branca cannot understand why a general admission of failure is not made in regard to the Dynarelevance Lecture Series and a new type of program established. This might be achieved, he suggested, by limiting the area -of discussion to one topic which would be approached by five speakers from the standpoint of five disciplines - sociology, psychology, religion, politics, and economics, for instance. What Dynarelevance should be, he stated, is a putting together of many disciplines so that the sum is greater than the separate parts. On April 13, Frank Branca conducted an informal discussion in which he and several members of the faculty spoke of the lack of academic freedom that they feel has permeated the college. The group concluded mat rap sessions which allow the students and faculty to interact and communicate their ideas are a more relevant expansion of BCC is curriculm. Spiritualism IS I see that you will be married two times in your life. You will have four children and one of those will be a boy who will become a most influential man in the government around the age of tvventy-seven. You will hear of an illness in your family, however, the person will recover and live to be quite old, I said to her, sounding and feeling like a gypsy fortune-teller. All my life I have had the ability to know what was going to happen to people before the events occur. This can be a very disturbing situation, particularly when there is a death in the future. I have had dreams all of my life that I might be in a certain place or a series of events would occur, then later that same situation would happen exactly as I had seen it in my dream. This ability is not uniquely related to me, since my sister has the Same HbiIiIv.Various relatives in my family can forsee the future. Although I can not quite understand why it happens, I can only say it does seem quite natural at times. Frankly, I can not say exactly how I am able to foretell the future, past or present. However, the fact remains I can. All my life I have been able to practically read the minds of many people and have attempted many experiments in telepathy both sending and receiving. Many people will say to me, I don't believe in psychic ability, and yet if I question them they will usually admit that at some time or another, they have had incidents where they have had a feeling that something was going to happen, or perhaps the phone would ring and they knew who it was before they answered it. Or perhaps they dreamt something and then it would later happen. But ironically, they do not accept these happenings as psychic phenomena. When actually they are, only in a small degree. It should be clear from what I have said that I believe, as do most parapsychologists, that everyone possesses psychic ability to some extent and that some persons have highly developed abilities. Many people refer to this ability as a sixth sense . Psychic ability can be expanded and developed through deep and concentrated meditation. Psychic meditation differs from ordinary meditation in that it aims to free the mind of tension, in effect freeing one's mind from self. There are many books on the market about psychic meditation for those who are interested in expanding their minds capacity and achieving peace of mind. The attainment of an understanding of one's self should be the goal of everyone. When I am concentrating on a particular person to give them a reading lmost psychics refer to a session with a client as a reading I. I merely free my mind of any thoughts whatsoever, then wait until thoughts concerning the client begin. During a reading, I am not aware of any spirit nor do I hear any voices, and I have never seen any apparitions. I seem to somehow know that what I am telling the client is the truth and the words seem to be merely thoughts that suddenly come to me either about the past, present, or future, by Joyce Connolly The only requirement necessary to do a reading is the proper clearing of my mind .or what I liken to refer to as opening my mind . One major problem seems to lie in respect to dates. When numbers come to me, I am not always sure if it is for instance 5 hours, 5 days, 5 weeks, or even 5 months. This seems to be true with all psychics. This article is not intended to convince anyone that there is a psychic world but to relate what it is like to be a psychic and to perhaps explain some information about the subject. Psychic gifts and the use of those gifts are most difficult to explain and even more difficult to understand if you have never had any personal experience with a person who is gifted. Just recently l have been giving demonstrations of my ability. For instance, during the Christmas holidays while the professional football games were being played, I had some fun with a fellow student. When the Baltimore Colts played the Miami Dolphins I made a bet with the young man and took the Dolphins as my team. Naturally I knew that they would win. Later when the Dolphins the Cowboys of Dallas, Texas, played I took the Cowboys since I knew they would win. After I won I did not accept the money since it is never proper to use a gift to get money that is not needed. It is difficult to explain to many people why a person should not misuse their ability. It has been proven that those who misuse their ability lose it. There are many different types of psychics. There are mediums lwho ot Satanism prefer to be called sensitives ,l clairvoyants, lalso known as readers i , faith healers, prophets, palmists, and areas such as telepathy, ESP in general and various other things dealing with metaphysics. Over the years I have been in contact with many persons who possess only one gift and some that possess many gifts. Some can perform psychometry , which is a practice whereby one holds an object and relates any information that can be communicated through the article pertaining to the owner. There are people who can see auras or colors that the body omits that are invisible to most people. At the present time many advances are being made in all of the areas of psychic phenomena. Our government has been attempting to set up research groups to study the subject thoroughly. Private concerns here in Florida are working on testing groups on their ability to sense colors blindfolded. Many of the leading universities such as Duke University and many others have set up groups. Some of these experiments include telepathetically-induced dreams. In those experiments the subject is awakened periodically during the night and asked to recount his dreams, while several other subjects are concentrating during the sleeping subject's dream periods. Experiments are being conducted on mediums while they are in trances to check the emission of alpha brain waves that they release while concentrating. There has been a suggestion that ESP has a close relationship to emission of alpha brain waves. Tests are being performed and training is being established to allow a person to increase the emission of alpha brain waves. Although the tests have not been completedja great deal of data is being compiled that is most encouraging. The human brain is probably the most fantastic area that science has yet to understand. Scientists agree that the average person uses only U10 of his brain capacity. The capabilities of the mind are astounding to many and yet so easily accepted by those of us who realize the possibilities and use of these abilities. In the Fort Lauderdale area, there are several groups that are working to further the advances in the psychic area. For those adventuresome people who are interested in watching a sensitive at work, I would suggest a visit to the Fort Lauderdale Women's Club at Broward Boulevard and Andrews Avenue any Sunday Night. There services are conducted by Rev. Jewel Williams, a sensitive, and many psychics attend church there. The church is called the Church of the Universal Master. The life of a psychic is unusually exciting and also very depressing. Mainly because, when I meet people I can tell instantly what they are thinking about me and if they like me or not. Many times l close my mind and try not to read their minds. Once people discover that you are a psychic they are usually either afraid, delighted, or sometimes ridicule you. Perhaps to many people anything related to the mysterious unknown is appealing, but for my part I can say I feel that I have a closer understanding of the universe and feel much closer to the goodness and love that God, or a divine power of goodness, has set forth for us to grasp for complete happiness. There are two forces at work in this universe. One of positive force lor goodnessl and one force of negative lor evill force. That which is detrimental to life is negative and destroys and that which grows or reproduces life is positive. Knowing this, l choose to emit love and happiness to everything that l come in contact with, hopefully, that I in turn will receive positive vibrations of goodness to enhance my life. CHRIST taught us to love one another and seek happiness with our fellowman- is this not the same feeling that I have related to you in this article? Positive thinking to build and goodness and love can produce happiness for everyone if people will only realize that there is so much power in thought , I realize that I have only touched on the various gifts of the psychic and I have been attempting to show that these gifts should be used for the betterment of mankind. The power of the mind can be the most powerful instrument of peace and goodwill for all mankind if we work toward the proper developement of the mind and thought transference. This could be a much happier world, if everyone would think positively to build love and regeneration instead of destruction. 7 Outside, the words read Fort Lauderdale Women's Club. The meeting that is taking place inside the building is quite different from a women's club meeting though. As you enter, the lights are dim and a red hue seems to settle over the room like a mist. The lights are low and red because the spirits do not like to work in brightly illuminated rooms. Yes, spirits for this is a meeting of a spiritualist church, The Church Of The Universal Master. A short, white-haired woman, rather stout, sat wheezing and coughing and playing a piano. A small gathering of about fifty people sat singing a hymn about healing something or other. As I quietly attempted to find a seat in the back of the room, I was conscious of several people staring at me. However, l tried to ignore them and sat down to collect my thoughts. Following several hymns, a short, skinny man of rather olive complexion, came from behind the pulpit and lit a series of candles that surrounded a picture of Jesus. After completing his task, he led the gathering in a prayer. Then he summoned someone in the back of the room to bring up the healing box thus beginning the healing portion of the evening's service. I was completely enthralled and watched closely as he walked over to the man and took the box. l suddenly realized that my hands were moist and my heart was beating rapidly as he moved back to the center of the altar. He began reciting a verse from the Bible about the power of the Holy Spirt and healing. Then igniting the papers on which the people had written messages about sickness and problems both physical and mental, he dropped the papers into a large iron pot situated near the pulpit. As the flames engulfed the papers, he said, As we commit these problems to the others, we know that already, HE has solved them, and that God answers each and every prayer. Turning, he walked back to the pulpit and introduced the medium that was to speak and related the topic of her sermon, the gifts of God mentioned in the Bible. Good evening, she said. Whereupon the people responded, ll . ll Good evening. My this is a lovely sight, seeing all of you this evening, the medium said smiling. Looking around the room she began her sermon. After the sermon, the medium called for the basket with the messages. As the people had entered the room, they had written questions on a small piece of note paper. After folding it twice they placed their initials on both sides of the paper, and put the notes into a small straw basket near the door. Reaching into the basket, the medium pulled out a note and called out the initials A.R.W. A slim, attractive, middleaged woman across the room raised her hand to acknowledge the note as hers. I feel that your question has to do with something you have lost, said the medium. Am l correct? Yes, said the woman. You have lost some very important keys, have you not? she continued. Yes, said the woman. The keys are in a sweater hanging in a closet in a hall in your home. You will find the keys in the pocket of the green sweater, stated the medium. The woman thanked her and the medium drew out another paper. B.A.K. she said. An elderly woman in the back of the room raised her hand. Before l answer your questions, l want to tell you, there is someone standing close to you tonight. He says his name is Arthur. Do you know who I mean? she asked the woman. Startled the woman jumped slightly in her chair and l could see her face as she began to weep softly when she said, Yes. Arthur's my departed son. :The medium nodded, then said, Arthur is very concerned about his Mary. He asks that l tell you to go and get her, since only you can help the child. I don't know where the child isp the family moved after my son's death, said the woman vainly. He says that they are in Macon, Georgia. If you call the grandmother there you can find out where they I Have A Message For You . . 3' by Joyce Connolly live, said the medium. l'll go there. Thank you very much, said the woman. Tell Arthur I love him, said the woman. He can hear you my dear, and he says he loves you also, said the medium. At that time, I had no way of knowing if the statements of the medium were correct or not and sat wondering about everything as I heard my initials called. J.H. she Saad. Raising my hand, she looked at me and after a few moments she said, I see a tall, thin man with black hair behind you, He says he is your father. Yes, I said as tears filled my eyes and I felt like a chill was suddenly streaming over my body as she continued. He says to tell you that he is very happy with what you have accomplished and to continue, and that he is particularly happy about what is going to happen to you in July, do you understand she asked? lVly father always wanted me to go to collegeg in fact, I am graduating in July, I explained. He's nodding his head, yes, that is what he meant. He says to tell you to tell your sister he sends his love to all of you, the medium replied. With tears in my eyes, I thanked her for the message. Although she did not answer my question totally, which was Do you know where my father is today? She gave me much more information than was possible for her unless it was through some sort of spiritual communication. Questions began running through my mind. How did she know my father was dead? did she know what he looked How like? This was the first time I had ever been any in the church so she didn't have previous knowledge about me. Also, how did she know about what was going to happen in July? l really must concede, that such knowledge and ability is marvelous and suggestive of a capacity in man not bound by accepted principals of time and space. To say that man survives physical death or to provide an answer to the eternal question, Does man live after death as we know it? , is a fact which would be of utmost interest to all mankind. The idea that man survies physical death, that some part of man is immortal, profoundly effects the lives of those who have such beliefs. Orthodox religions promise their followers everlasting life, but they frown on the spiritual church and the manifestation such spirits that claim to have been former mortals, indeed anything that has to do with spiritualism. Spiritualism has been condemned as satan worship and dealing with evil spirits of the devil by most of the major churchs. But for the most part, people who are gifted, such as those with ESP, telepathy, clairvoyance, or mediumship are in reality seeking a closer understanding as to why God gave them a spiritual gift and a closer communion with Him. There were messages from numerous other spirits who claimed a desire to communicate with the people in the room. the little woman at the medium said, I have a you tonight, Sara. Your sister, Joyce, is here, and she wants me not to worry so much. Turning to piano, the message for to tell you Your time is not yet come and you have much more work to do yet. Thank you, dear, said Sara. And now friends, I am growing tired, so I must stop for tonight. If I have not answered your questions, please come back next Sunday night and I will answer them then. Good night and God be with you. Slowly, she turned and descended the steps from the altar. The mystery of natural phenomena has puzzled man since early times. After years of endless research, some tales remain unanswered. What lingers is a legend for man to challenge in his own mind. One perhaps obscure legend is that of the Brown Moutain Lights in the Blue Ridge Moutains of western North Carolina. The lights seem to roam around the mountain, which seems to be solid mass of cranberry granit, almost every night. They form near the foot of the mountains and go up in many directions, reaching the top in three to five seconds. In 1771, Gerard William de Braha, a German engineer, first recorded the mysterious lights. He concluded that the mountain emits nitreous vapors which are born by the winds and when the laden winds meet each other the niter inflames, sulphurates and deteriorates. ' l Roaming Mystery Cn A Mountain In the first U.S. Geological Survey investigation in 1913, it was concluded that the lights were locomotives' headlights from the Catawba Valley, south of the mountain. In 1916, the great flood flushed the valley knocking out the railroad bridges and keeping locomotives inactive for weeks. Roads and power lines were down. The lights appeared as usual, leaving it apparent that they could not be reflections from locomotives or auto headlights. Early settlers believed that the lights were the spirits of Cherokee and Catawba warriors slain in a battle on the mountain long ago. Cherokees reported the lights as far back as the 1200's. A great battle was fought between the Catawba Indians and their tribes. They believed that the lights were lndian maidens' spirits searching for their husbands and sweethearts who had died in battle. by Barbara Graybeal The best description of the lights is that the lights are a troop of candle bearing ghosts who are destined to march forever back and forth across the moutain . At some points, the lights seem larger, resembling balls of fire from roman candles. Some expand and burst high like and explosion. Dr. W.J. Humphries of the US Weather Bureau in 1919 investigated and reported that the lights were similar to those of the Andes lights of South America. Dr. Herbert Lyman reported the lights to the American Nleteorologist Society in 1941 as a manifestation of the Andes light. A second report by the Geodetic Survey said that the lights are due to the marsh gasses forming spontaneous combustion. The report ruled out the possibility that the lights were from fox fires or reflections of mountain moonshine stills. Some scientists believe that the lights are a mirage: some,that through some atmospheric condition they are a reflection of lights from Lenoir, Hickory and other area towns. But the lights were seen clearly before the Civil War, long before electricity. Paul Rose, who led an expedition in 1965, reported that he thought the lights were from outer space. He recalled seeing them by the hundreds: seeing four of them fighting: clocking one at 75mph, circling a seven-mile radiusg and that they were definitely radioactive, having been checked out with a geiger counter. He felt that the lights were severely guided by some type of intelligence. Rose quit approaching the lights because he said he got the word from above to leave them alone. In 1961, a song was written by Scott Wiseman, which tells one of the light legends: Way out on old Linville Mountain, Where the bear and the catamount reigh, There a strange, ghostly light can be seen every night, Which no scientist nor hunter can explain. In the days of the old covered wagons, When they camped on the flat for the nightg With the stars growing dim on the high gorge rim, They would watch for the BROWN MOUNTAIN LIGHT Long years ago a southern planter came hunting in this wild land alone, And here, so they say, the hunter lost his way, and never returned to his home. His old trusty slave brought a lantern, And searched, but in vain, day and night,' Now the old slave is gone, but his spirit wanders on, And the lantern still casts its light. High, on the mountain, and down in the canyon below, lt shines like the crown of an angel, And fades as the mists come and go,' Way over yonder, Night after night until dawn, A faithful old slave, come back from his grave, ls searching, For his master whos long, long gone. Ralph Lael, a resident about two miles from Brown Mountain, made his own investigation in 1962 and wrote a booklet, including his account, on the lights. The information l'll convey is from his booklet. Lael's plan was to go to the source of the lights to see if he could come in contact with them. He cut a trail to Wild Cat Knob, marking it as he went. He was very fearful of the native rattlesnakes and cooperheads. lt took several days to trim the trail. In his first encounter, he saw the lights form and disintegrate into a flat rock that appeared to be two acres in area. One ball of light moved away, as if it had intelligence, when his flashlight came on. On one night, the light touched Lael's body. He felt a strange vibration. He asked the light if he should follow and the light stoppedg should he go back, and it moved up and downg should he come back and trim around the rock, and it moved up and downg should he bring someone, it moved back and forth. Lael went back and the light beckoned him to follow it, as it disappeared into the rock. A door opened and he entered a room, eight foot square, crystal clear quartz and filled with a glowing gas. A voice talked to him, through a machine, and told him that they had picked him to tell the fate of the earth. It said that man was created on another planet, Pewan, which our ancestors destroyed. lWe call the waste of it the asteroidsl. The voice said that the lights survived on Pethine gas. Also that they lived on Venus, which is completely surrounded by water vapor about 150 miles above its surface. According to the voice, our world was a Venus until the deluge in the time of Noah when the earth tilted on its axis and almost destroyed all life. lt reported that they had been on earth for 500 years to prevent man from destroying this planet Earth, They will restore it to its former axis and destroy man, restoring the vapor cover and enabling them to live here. lt then told Lael to come back. Lael went back and the leader asked him to contact TV stations, newspapers and announce that he had discovered the source of the lights' two veins of ore, one iron and one sulphurg water from a swamp on the mountain contacts the ore causing a gas to form under mica schists and pressure to build up. This shoots up in the air. Lael's reward was that if man was to be destroyed, he and seven others would be taken to Venus. Later Larfl journeyed to Venus, in a special compartment equipped with air. He said that he had complete confidence in the lights. He stayed a few days with men from the former planet Pewan. He ate food, scientifically produced by rearrangement of molecules. He viewed man on earth on a screen. He was shown, on a picture wall, pictures made by radar, how man destroyed Pewan. He met other Pewamans, hundreds of years old, including Noah, the same one that is recorded with the disasterous flood. Lael closed his booklet by saying that there were many things he saw and heard that he could not reveal because of his obligation to the Brown Mountain Lights. He hoped that those reading his account would have brotherly love for the people of this earth and the whole universeg and that he contributed something to the preservation of mankind on this planet. The latter report may seem far out or exaggerated, depending upon your mind and imagination. The message made me aware of man's situation and pace of destruction, however great. l have witnessed the lights numbers of times since my childhood. My amazement never ceases. All the legends and stories l've read and heard gives me no definite answer and so l just wonder. After all...who knows? pf 15 ,t gl. 5-N3 rtrmifi-' Hare Krishna Members Explain Universal rerr Consciousness During .,afg'w, I 4 .LC V .t xx. ' - . A- .sf Q. , . f ve, . l . - , f '7 'K', .

Freedom to worship in any chosen faith and to invite others to follow a doctrine are regarded by Americans as sacred rights. We at BCC had an opportunity to become acquainted with a very unique religious group this term. lt is formally known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. lts members call it the Hare Krishna Movement. The basic concept of this worldwide community of followers is one of complete God, or Krishna, consciousness and servitude to the Creator. According to Hare Krishna belief, the Son of God or Bhagavad-gita las the holy scriptures were originally called in Sanskritl was written by God more than 5,000 years ago and described in the Vedic literature, the oldest sacred works of India. When people failed to follow the prescribed laws, it is believed, God sent Buddha and Jesus, among others, as His representatives to convert the world to the science of God consciousness. The doctrine of Hare Krishna has been passed through an unbroken chain of spiritual masters. The international Society was founded by the current spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who presented his faith to Western culture in 1966. Visiting from their temple in Coconut Grove, members of ISKCON approached BCC students between classes or on their way to lunch. They distributed issues of Godhead, the magazine of the Hare Krishna Movement, lasking a donation of 256 of each person who took onel and cards which read, You are cordially Campus Visit by Nancy Mixon invited to attend the joyful Festival and sumptuous Feast which will be held each Sunday at 4:00 P.M. Curiosity is a natural reaction when one encounters a group of six young men displaying quite uncommon appearance and dress. Their heads were completely shaven, except for one long, ponytail-style lock of' hair braided from the crown. Very simple garb, consisting of sheets draped and fitted, adorned their bodies and their greeting to one and all was, Hare Krishna! Engaging in conversation with these individuals is an interesting experience, to say the least. They are more than willing to talk about themselves and what motivated them to join the Movement, but they are particularay enthusiastic about their religion and how it influences their lives. According to one member, people ,,, M w M ' it QW' 'J become interested in Hare Krishna for four primary reasons. First, they are distressed and full of anxiety, which motivates them to search for relief from their material lives. They may be in need of something material yet quite essential, such as a place to stay or food to eat, and be compelled to join the Krishna community. The inquisitiveness of those who are searching for their identities may lead them to seek God in the I-lare Krishna Movement. Finally, the desire to establish a meaningful relationship with God motivates many to turn an abstract concept of His image into a realized truth. All of these reasons, along with being totally fed up with the world , are the characteristics generally claimed by most full-fledged Hare Krishna members. Most members in America are under the age of thirty and were converted to the Movement by choice. Some are children whose parents are raising them as Krishna followers. Older people seem much less eager to adopt a philosophy so different from those to which they have become accustomed. The concept of Krishna Consciousness is highly unique in that it is non-sectarian. As one member stated, someone in another country lives under the same sun. Thus, all people were created by one Supreme Lord, Krishna followers believe. The spirit-soul is said to be eternal, wherein lies their belief in transmigration of the soul. The essence of the Hare Krishna Movement is to develop love of God in all people through the methods of bhakti-yoga ldevotionl under the direction of a bona fide spiritual master. Persons may retain their stations in life while engaged in the service of God, rather than adopting the community as do some members. Reading the works of the Movement and chanting its creed are means of understanding and reaping the benefits of its philosophy. Hare Krishna members believe that chanting the names of God will relieve all of the anxieties of material life, whether it be during devotional periods or in the course of daily life. Thus, it is never uncommon to hear a member chanting, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare . Everything that Hare Krishna members own is considered to be God's first before their own and everything that they do is for Him. Religious ceremonies, or Artika, characterize .. - -1-- v- Members of the Krishna faith discussed re- ligion with BCC students and invited them to attend weekly Coconut Grave festival. this belief. Consisting of traditional Krishna hymns, chants, and offerings of food to the deity, these activities last from four to five hours each day. The weekly feast held each Sunday is a 40 course meal composed strictly of natural foods prepared in many forms by the members. They consume only natural foods, as it is believed their food is used first by God and then by their own bodies. Their diet consists of fruits, vegetables, sugar, milk, and grains, all of which must be uncooked. Foods such as meat, fish, eggs, cokes, bread, and mushrooms are forbidden under dietary laws. The ISKCON operates an incense company which supplies the members with their food and skin oils, in addition to selling incense on a commercial basis. All profits are contributed to the Hare Krishna fund for use in service to God. Male followers of the Movement are not required to shave their heads, nor are they under any obligation to dress in the Indian style displayed by our campus visitors. Many, however, feel that practicality is more important than fashion when it comes to appearance. Abstinence from drinking, smoking, and drug abuse is requested of Hare Krishna followers. ln addition, premarital sex is prohibited within the community. Members willingly accept these regulations, as it is believed that they have found something much better in God consciousness. Members of the ISKCON feel that their enthusiasm and appearance of sublime happiness sell both their magazines and their ideas. One member estimated that approximately 50?-1 of the people that they approach on street corners or on college campuses such as BCC buy their magazine primarily to satisfy their curiosity. But if they read it sincerely, they have to become interested, he insisted. Most other people, he believes, are either not interested or are unable to cope with the heavy philosophy it reveals. The majority of those members present- however, agreed that their greatest selling factor is their obvious contentment within themselves. As one young man stated, You can sit under a tree all day if you're completely happy and know yourself. Chanting the Hare Krishna creed and developing love of God among the peoples of the world is their way of attaining a state of complete happiness. ' ern man does not believe in iracles. He expects a scientific planation before he accepts the henticity of anything. Man has ffed at the miraculous events picted in the Scriptures, and until ented with scientific evidence he ill continue to doubt the factuality such Biblical phenomena. rcheological excavations have duced evidence that makes such iblical miracles historical facts. he following are just a few of the II . ll . 'lany mlcracles which have been rought to light by archeological ndings. l dedicate this article to the 1quisitive mind of modern seudo-scientific Homo sapiens. 'he Ten PIagues which God -vrought upon Egypt when the Igyptians made slaves of the Jews Eve puzzled countless followers of e Biblical narratives. Many hilologists have called attention to he fact that the first nine plagues are V iblical Miracle, Historical Fact by Alicia Stem natural phenomena of Egyptian geographical location. Of course, their intensification at the time of Jewish bondage made them seem like punishments from Heaven. The plagues follow in sequence the seasonal changes in Egypt. Plague number 1'f..all waters that were in the river were turned to blood. And the fish that were in the river diedg and the river was foul, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river, and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt lExodus 7l. This account in the Scriptures describes the very low tides of the Nile River just before it begins to rise in June. At that time the river looks red because of the red clay bottom at that specific place lon different sections the river has blue clay and white clay.l The shallowness of the water caused the fish to die and the area surrounding the river was permeated with bad odors eminating from the dead fish. ln Exodus 8, we encounter the second plague: frogs. Seven days after the first plague, the river brought forth innumerable frogs, which covered the land. ln July, when the river is flooding over, frogs are plentiful in Egypt, and in some years the area is overrun by frogs. Lice, flies, murrain of cattle la type of infection found only in canlel,and boils are the third through the sixth plagues which fell upon the Egyptians. These plagues are still predominant in modern Egypt. Because of poor plumbing, housing, and sanitation facilities, such pests as lice and flies, and such pestilences as murrain of cattle and boils, still plague the Egyptians. Today there are intensive investigations being conducted as to the causes of Egyptian boil epidemics which are found to be spread by flies. A very grieveous hail , the seventh plague, must have occured in January, for that is the time when the barley 3 . . . all waters that were in the river turned to blood And the fish that were in the river died' and the river was foul and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river,' and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. lExodus 7l and the flax are in bloom. ...the flax and the barley were smitten, for the barley was in the ear, and flax was in bloom. But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten, for they were not Il grown up iExodus 9l. Hail occurs as part of a thunderstorm and, therefore, in warm weather when a raindrop is caught in the squall cloud and carried high enough, it becomes snow, and when it comes down it is covered with water. lf the raindrop is caught up again it freezes, until finally it falls to the ground in the form of hail. Egypt and Florida are on the same latitude so that the climates and metereological conditions of both countries are similar. Hail is not a common occurance in Florida, but it is not unheard of either. Locusts, the eighth plague described in Exodus 10, may be observed in Egypt today. Because of the geographic location of Egypt the locust is brought in by an east wind and carried away by a west wind, as depicted in the Biblical accounts. Locusts resemble grasshoppers, but have shorter antennae. Some locusts have migratory habits and they destroy grains and vegetation in many parts of the world. At the time of the locust invasion of Egypt, the Egyptians had already experienced several upsets, so that by this time the damage to their crops and their way of living was disastrous. Every year Egypt has hot sandstorms called Hamsin or Khamaseen. These sandstorms sometimes do last for three days such as the Biblical one did. The only phenomena that can be compared to the Egyptian sandstorms is the thick London fog. So much sand is blown around during such sandstorms that the light of day is dimmed bringing darkness upon the land of Egypt such as was the ninth plague in Exodus 10. Although the tenth plague, death to all firstaborri, including Pharaoh's son iExodus 11l does not fall in the category of natural phenomena, there is still the possibility that it did occur. Scholars have discovered that Amenhotep ll, the Pharaoh at the time of the exodus, was not succeeded by his first born son. lt is the belief of such scholars that the Pharaoh's first-born son met with an untimely death. Of course the death of newborn babies and small children was very common until the beginning of the twentieth century. Our modern drugs and medical facilities were not known in the days of the Pharaohs. Today, infant mortality is still high in some of the poorer countries and in those countries which are isolated from civilization. The narrative of the crossing of the Red Sea is believed by Bible scholars to be quite accurate. Through the hard work of building the pyramids, the Jews were better fit physically to withstand the ravages of the plagues. The Egyptians had slaves to do all the hard workg therefore, they had grov'n physically soft and apathetic. ln the confusion that beset the Egyptians because of the plagues, the Jews saw an opportunity to escape from their Egyptian bondage. Their escape route was across the Red Sea. According to archeologists the Hebrews crossed the Red Sea between Lake Timsah and the Bitter Lakes where the waters were very shallow before the building of the Suez Canal. When the Egyptians attempted to pursue the Hebrews across the Red Sea a strong east wind lExodus 14l blew the waters toward the shallow part and drowned the Egyptians. The Hebrews marched towards the Promised Land , led by Moses. They were hungry, God allowed manna to rain from heaven to serve them as bread. ...it appeared on the ground every morning together with the dewp it looked like coriander seeds, whitish and globular, it was compared to bdelium and had a honey-like tastep when baked it tasted like oil-cakes. It could not be kept overnight,..and it evaporated when the sun was high. iExodus 16 and Numbers 6-9l There is a substance in the Sinai Peninsula which fits the description of manna. lt is called tamarisk. The tamarisk tree has a sweet honeylike sap which forms small, white grains which fall on the ground. When the sun goes up the grains evaporate. The grains of the tamarisk taste like honey. Arabs and monks of the Sinai Peninsula boil and strain the tamarisk's grains and use it on their unleavened bread like butter. lVlanna or tamarisk is sold to tourists by the monks of the Sinai llllonastery. The Bible is full of passages which to the uninformed seem like miracles. The writers of the Bible wanted those passages interpreted in such a way as to put the fear of God in the reader. The Scriptures served as a watchdog, because through the fear of God people would behave in manners not harmful to those around them. The Bible has served its purpose, but for our scientific days we need a new guide for living which will be accepted by modern man. 1 i 1 lA' IX SPORTS S 'E . 99 S 1 Lillian Wise Linda Mackey se t X warm and ffzeers V ' W d ' 9 Verna Williams M .ff 'ith the incredible weather we in lorida enjoy, it's no wonder that tdoor sports recieve such a high gree of participation. At the top of e list of outdoor sports we will robably find golf. his season we have added two new members to our golf team. The two iembers are, Rick Hmielewski, who 'aduated from Plantation High chool, and Ren Morris, who raduated fro Shattuck High School in linnesota. lith the new additions, Bud Marsee, Elf coach, hopes to keep us within e top five teams in the state. lf we lay up to our potential, Marsee said, we would probably place third in the tate behind Dade-North and Schools thot win build o good reputation. Dade-South. We did quite well during the first half of the season, finishing second at the University of Florida Invitational, third at the Bonaventure Invitational, and fourth at the Hollywood Lakes lnvitataional. Winning is definitely good for the team's morale, but even more, it adds to the quality of the team, According to Marsee, schools that win build a good reputation, and that attracts better players. This is definitely important to a good golf team, and ours is no exception. Coach Marsee is satisfied with the conditions under which the team plays. But, since BCC doesn't have its own golf course, the team practices at Bonaventure Country Club and plays all its home games there. lt also participates in one of the Country Club's invitational meets.

Faribault, Minnesota S-I-o-w-I-g Cthat's the way the ball bouncesl Something new has been added to this year's men's tennis team, Fred Curry, a language instructor at BCC who replaced Jim Chin as the tennis coach. When I asked Curry why he accepted the job, he said, They wanted somebody who would accept the job and at the same time someone who could play tennis. Curry played tennis at the University of Florida on a scholarship. He is presently trying to get some scholarships for his team members. The boys put out a lot of time, said Curry, and they should get scholarships. They could be studying and getting better grades instead, so it is a sacrifice. Curry rates our team as fourth in the state and says that they lack experience but they make up for it in attitudes and fighting spirit. Attitudes are definitely important to the sport of tennis, and Curry has strong attitudes about his team. He calls tennis the gentIeman's sport and says that you can get as much exercise on a court in one hour, as you can on a golf course in a whole day. Curry loves to play tennis, loves coaching it, and most of all cares about what happens to his team. Being a good coach, Curry sees the bad points of the team and the bad points of the school as well. As far as our tennis courts and equipment are concerned, we are in big trouble. One of the biggest problems facing the team now concerns the backdrops for the courts. These are the dark canvas coverings that line the fence of the courts, whose purpose is to enable the tennis player to see the ball clearly. They provide a dark background so that when the player looks across at his opponent, he does not find himself staring at the parking lot. At BCC these back-drops were blown down and destroyed, and according to Curry, the HPR department says that they don't have enough money to replace them. The cost would be around S1,000. Curry says that it is impossible for his team to play without them: That would be adding insult to injury, and l won't do it. In addition to these new problems, there are some very old problems. For instance, the courts, Curry said, are made of the same material as Davie Road and are far below minimum standard conditions. We need better courts. In the long run it is costing us more money to play on these courts than it would to surface them. It costs us money in equipment such as tennis shoes, balls, rackets, etc., and the colors are so bad that after awhile the balls start to look exactly like the courts. According to Curry, our courts are in poorer condition than most others in the area and definitely hinder the players' abilities. The bounce here is much slower, said Curry, and we lost our last tournament because we were caught off guard and did not expect the ball to bounce so fa Whenever another team comes here play, they constantly protest abo' the conditions. The approximate co to resurface each court is S100 b Curry feels that it is more than wor it. College tennis is serious busine and if you want to participate in t sport, and you want a good team, th you've got to pay for it. Turning to tennis as a profession sport, one of the key issues today the confrontation between the pr and the amateurs. Curry feels th today the amateurs want to play t pros. We are getting away from t separation that we used to have in th sport. This seems like a stran situation, because it doesn't qui seem fair to the amateur. Curry feel. however, that this is what th amateurs have been waiting for. T only difference that I can see , th coach said, is that if a pro wins gets S50,000, but if an amateur win. he gets a 35.00 cup. I don't think th this is fair, but the amateurs want t play and beat the pros just for the wil and the competition. Current members of the tennis tea in their ranking order lthey move u in rank by defeating each otherl are Pitti Fiorio Clay Owen Sondra Fiorio Joe Granak Tom Citrin Mark Sandler I spent an afternoon watching thes boys play, and from where I sat, the looked pretty good. There wa definitely a problem with the court, but the boys continued to play on.l There is something prestigous about having a tennis team, expecially if i1 is good. BCC has the potential for 5 great team and hopefully will supporl them by providing the propen facilities. . took Chris Evert to lend a boost x tennis in South Florida and now ur women's tennis team is doing the me for Broward. ccording to Elaine Gavigan, coach of e women's team, there are several ons why tennis is so popular in dm Florida. i think chris Even has ne more locally for the sport than yone else, said Coach Gavigan. he has helped to stir interest among e young girls. Also, tennis can be layed year round because of the imate. The general public has been posed to it more through the use of Ievision and the pros are making big ney in tennis. hese reasons have helped to :rengthen the women's tennis team at cc. we finished third in the state The Women's Tennis Team among junior colleges last year, said Coach GBIQBD, and we will probably finish the same this year. There is, however, one important difference this year, according to the coach. We have a much stronger team. We have three good new freshman and good returning players. Usually, a team will have one or two good players and the rest will be weak, said Coach Gavigan, but on our team, we have a lot of depth. This simply means that each member of the team has the capability to become number one. One problem facing the sport falls within the area of tournaments. Where do you separate the professionals from the amateurs? According to the women's coach, WimbIeton used to be for amateurs Debbie Ackley Karen Bozicevic 'K' Julie Castillo Olivia Dixon Terri Lambert -K- Lynn Osbaldeston Siri Rudd only, now it's open. The US Open has always been a pro-am tournament All we really have left for amateurs is the Wightman Cup tournament. Tennis, by the way, is not a sport of the Summer Olympics, and Coach Gavigan feels that it very soon will be. As far as the sport at BCC is concerned, there are several improvements needed. At present, the only plans for the tennis courts are to light them so that we can have more classes. Coach Gavigan does not feel that this is enough. We need to re-surface all of the courts, but what we really need is about twelve more new courts. Despite the problems being faced because of lack of sufficient facilities, it is obvious that tennis is growing in popularity among students at BCC. WN in i .hiya , ,.sti.n.e. Oh, the advantages . . of lunior College Baseball in South Florida There are definite advantages to playing baseball in Florida. For one thing the climate allows for year-round enjoyment of the sport. For this reason and others, baseball at BCC ranks high. According to baseball coach Leroy Wheat, junior colleges have a definite advantage over four year institutions in many respects. Junior colleges can give scholarships to baseball playeizs while four year institutions cannot. Also, boys can be drafted into the pros from a junior college while they cannot from a four year college, lunless they are 21, or out of school for at least four monthsl. Wheat has one more reason for preferring junior colleges, I feel if a boy attends a junior college, then he at least has made an investment, and if he doesn't get drafted to the pros, he will probably continue on to a four year institution. It now appears that more four year institutions are requesting their applicants to attend a junior college if they are going out to the junior colleges for baseball. The feeling is the same amoung scouts who are going to the junior colleges for most of their material. According to Wheat, only one or two boys on the team will be drafted directly into the majorsg the other eight out of ten will be going to senior institutions. Since the statistics of ratings arouni the state are not available until the em of the season, Wheat doesn't knov the standings of the teams. Howeve he feels that BCC will finish high oi the rating chart. This is probably th-l most important thing to the basebal team as a whole. The better team tha you have, the more respect around thi state you will recieve and that is vert important in attracting students fron out-of-state high schools. Most boyi like to come to Florida to play ball,' said Wheat, because they can plat more games, and have a better chanel to improve and get picked by a scout.' Alone m the dugout a tense moment for the coach. Practice for the team starts right after Labor Day, and the boys work three hours a day except on weekends. This is an advantage over northern schools which have to wait until the weather is right. As the spring rolls around, many northern schools travel to Florida to play ball in order to give their players some good practice for the up-coming season. This is good for BCC because we get to play teams from around the country. For example, this season the team will play Boston University, Eastern Illinois University, South Georgia University, University of New Haven, and Spring Arbor, Michigan. This will further give the scouts a chance to look us over. There are definite advantages to playing baseball in Florida, and one of the greatest that a baseball player has here in South Florida is Broward Community College. ,. bl.-.F P-Dial 4-q 'lefvisf wif .,.. ,asw- V .Liu if-r. Could u .EQ Rally Improve BCC Bushetbull The BCC Basketball team finished its season with seven wins and fourteen losses. According to Coach Clinton Morris, lt's the poorest season l've ever seen and l've been here eight years. However, Morris continued, l'm quite optimistic about next season. We've been doing well for the past few years. This season we were off a bit. Morris believes that BCC has the material for a good team, but it needs student support. There is no kind of athletic event that can create interest and excitement without support from the school newspaper, SGA, student activities office, etc. We need a totally involved student body. Having been a student here for the past two years, I can agree with Morris' statements. For example, when was the last time we had a pep rally for a basketball game - or for any other sporting event? When was the last time we had a dance after a basketball game? Sound a bit like high school? Well, what's wrong with that? lt might be a better idea than having a band come to the hospitality center to play for a group of students who care more about what they are eating than what the band is playing. of ha: W' .Jv ' J 1-4- One problem which confronted Morris was that, Most of the best players in the county were recruited to schools that could offer more than we could. Morris thinks that these boys got a better scholarship wherever they went. We can't offer a full scholarship to our players but some of the other colleges can. Next season the basketball team will once again hit the court. If we expect the team to do well, then let's get out and support it. There's nothing wrong with a little team spiritg.it is not out of fashion. Who knows, maybe we'll all find out that the gym isn't there just for night time concerts. At this point, l wish Coach Morris and the team all the luck in the world. .-- 'Q Game Point Average H. L.

Last year, there was a gymnastics club, but that is small stuff compared to a full team with competition. Last year, said King, there was only one junior college with a gymnastics team. This year there are three: lVliami-Dade North, lVliami-Dade South, and Broward. We are looking for a tremendous amount of growth throughout the next year. Recruitment for this year's team did not start until the end of August and there was almost no budget for the team. Considering these facts, it is a wonder that there was a team at all, winning or losing. Some, if not most of the credit must go to Coach Larry King, who accepted the assignment of putting together a gymnastics team containing some able bodied men in two months. We had to work with the existing boys, said King, which gave us almost no depth at all. King feels, however, that gymnastics as a sport has grown tremendously in the past three years due to the help of area schools as well as the county itself. Coach King is a graduate of the University of Southwest Lousiana where he was captain of the gymnastics team. Four years as a gymnastics coach has convinced him that Gymnastics will only be strong where the coach is qualified. This sport is very demanding and quality coaching is very important. King looks forward to next season's team, and feels that it will take help from all concerned to make a gymnastics team work. lt usually takes a year to work out a routine for competition, and next season will depend upon the recruiting program as well as the returning members. The season's team members are as follows: Quiet Sport In The Gym David Defkin ------ ------- S tranahan Ken Johnson ------- ------ S tranahan John Landstedt ------------ Stranahan Mark Stendts ------ ------- A mhf-HST Mike Nlanahan -------------- Stranahan Kevin Montagnino -------- lVlcArthur Michael Test ----------------- Stranahan Six events are judged in a gymnastics meet: Floor Exercise, Side Horse, Still Rings, Long Horse Vaults, Parallel Bars, Horizontal lhighl Bar. Each event is judged in three areas: the difficulty of the move, the execution of the move, and the combination of moves. There is a seventh category alsog it is called All around. This means that one person must perform all events, all the way through. To qualify for the Olympics, one must be an All Around candidate. Gymnastics is an extremely rough sport to participate in and an even tougher one to win. According to King, The United States has not won a gold medal in gymnastics since World War li. This is because, King stared, Gymnastics is basically a European sport, and America has always been weak in gymnastics competition. l-lll together now- l,2,3... 16953 K2 raduation ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE: Patricia L.
