Delta College - Gnosis Yearbook (University Center, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 66 of the 1971 volume:

VICINAGE 1971 Delta College University Center, Michigan This book is for the Students of Delta by the Students of Delta P 2 This year’s Gnosis is divided into three different books. In case you don’t like the first two . . . Oh well, one out of three ain’t bad. 3 The courtyard is a toilet paperer’s and a dog’s paradise. It has trees and bushes all over the place! It even has a little stream running through it but unfortunately however, people and their rubber duckies are not allowed. Oh well, in spite of it all, you have to admit it’s nice to look at. (Especially the topless lawnmovers) 5 in mmmm The favorite pastime at Delta is sitting in the halls and watching the wierdos walk by. This is really great if you like to sit in the halls and watch wierdos walk by. By the way, when’s the last time you sat in a good hall and watched wierdos walk by? If you like to slop food all over the place and play cards where you aren’t suppose to, you’ll love our commons. It just takes your breath away to see the place so packed that even BAN won’t take the worry out of being close. For entertainment there’s always the juke box and watching the kids who clean off the tables suffer. It’s even a nice place for selling tickets, candy and yearbooks. 8 9 If you like peace and quiet while you’re comtemplating your navel or just wanting to sit around and stare at shelves of books, the Delta library is the place to be. You can pretend you’re a secret agent in the microfilm room, or a billionaire throwing your money away on book fines. They have neat little boo ths to hide in from your teachers while you’re skipping class and a balcony to drop rubber spiders on the people below. You feel really impor¬ tant as you flash your I.D. card in the librarians face and check out books, records, etc. etc. Of course, I suppose if you really want to, you can always go there, check out books and study. Delta’s administration is really something else . . . V 12 We won’t write anything. 14 SSOIOSHVS black is better THAN ANOTHER HUE, N THAT IT SCORNS TO BEAR ANOTHER HUE.

The biggest honor a faculty member can achieve is to be called up to “Walnut Acres” for a friendly visit. You even get to walk on their neat carpet. 16 It’s great fun to be a faculty mem¬ ber at Delta. You get to have your very own office and eat in the Colle¬ giate room. Mid-terms and finals (Alias Faculty Revenge Week) really makes the job worthwhile. Of course it’s always nice to get paid for teach¬ ing too, if you have nothing better to do.

Sumitra Heinert (Geography) 17 Having a shop and a dental assistance lab in the same building is very useful. If you’re in shop and your ma¬ chine starts giving you a hard time, you just get someone from the dental lab to come over with their teeth and bite it for you. They may even lend you some Dental Floss to escape out of the window with. I don’t know how strong dental floss is, but don’t worry, the shop is on the ground floor. 20 21 If you drive to Delta, you some¬ times know it is a bit difficult to find a parking place. So you drive around and around the campus looking for a spot to park until your engine falls out. To handle this situation, Delta has an auto tech center to revitalize the poor car. Invalid autos doomed forever are not accepted because we just don’t run that kind of a place. The guys would be 80 years old before they graduated from the program and in this business it’s essential that you make a quick get away before the owner gets back. Typing and taking X-rays may not be the most excit¬ ing things in the world but they’re certainly two of the more safer activities. At least if you get mad you can swear at the machine and it can’t wash your mouth out with soap. Neat huh? m® fetstl . • ■-di ■0, mm mW 0mm h Delta’s own television station WUCM fights air pollution by trying to keep trash off the air and showing good educational pro¬ grams. By the looks of the Neil- son ratings, some people prefer trash . . . 26 But, WUCM keeps on plugging away, with such programs as Rap, The French Chef, Junta, and various specials. Someday we may even get to see Bullwinkle reruns if we’re good! 29 ■ In case you weren’t wondering, these are pictures of the language lab and the planetarium. Instead of telling you which is which and spoiling your fun, we won’t tell you a thing. So if you’re at Delta sometime and think you’re listen¬ ing to a tape and see a few star formations come flying over, you’d better leave or stop drink¬ ing and smoking. We recommend the former. When you don’t have anything better to do, it’s always nice to take a stroll down to Delta’s one and only bookstore and look at the neat pictures on the paperbacks. Wow!! The friend¬ ly staff is there to help you find such items as an XL Delta T- Shirt for your mother for Christmas, records to play and run up the electricity bill, and get well cards to send to someone who’s not even sick! You can get almost anything you want at the Delta Bookstore. Of course, it always helps if you have money. Oh well . . . 33 Meanwhile back at the kitchen, the loyal food service staff of Delta College fights the never ending battle of the stomach. Here the staff takes time out from its hectic activities (such as break¬ ing dishes, having water fights, frustrat¬ ing the supervisors, sneaking soggy french fries from the lunch line, and lis¬ tening to complaints of upset stomachs from the dorm kids) to pose for our camera man. Stop by the snack bar sometime and order one of our own scrumptious Delta Burgers. P.S. Bring your own alka seltzer. 34 The action place to be at Delta Col¬ lege (except for the bathrooms) has def¬ initely got to be the lounge. Everybody gets together and . . . Sits around and sits around and sits around and sits around and sits around and sits around and sits around. 39 40 If you thought bathroom walls were in vogue, you haven’t seen our college council room. It’s enough to give you a bunion in your gall bladder. It’s a nice place to have meetings and sleep too. What more could you ask for except maybe a pair of dark glasses. Sometimes the Delta Colli giate isn’t always what you’d expect from a junior college newspaper, but the staff keeps trying. In between typing stories, doing layouts, and getting ulcers about deadlines, and wondering why they can’t put dirty words (who’s to judge) in the newspaper, the staff finds time for such things as playing games of marble soc¬ cer, painting anything in sight, collecting old bottles, tree branches, and dirty plates, and just sitting around trying to figure out why they ever joined the staff in the first place. 42 43 The Delta College wom¬ en’s volleyball team watches in amazement as a 498 lb. sparrow flys over head pre¬ paring to lay a big white egg. While the team is out trying to catch the egg, the cheerleaders are busy lead¬ ing the throngs of fans in a rousing cheer of “We want an omelet.” Despite its great attempt to make a come back in the final moments of the play the sparrow lost with a score of 2 for the bird and 6 for the women. 45 tTTz. + -SB -, - - — « • ' Z • «mk - r v « « ■« - i : : 5 ;: •.:.. « � ' « l « .: ' ' , «i . .. � « « ? • is. ., ...

Radicals go around in jnny costumes and beat up balls. It’s really ex¬ iting. They kick them and hit them and throw hem and even bounce them on the floor. Of ourse this violence can not be tolerated openly o to be able to get away with it, the guys join le basketball team and soccer team to make it 11 look legal. Of course now and then, an op- osing team member is kicked to show that lere is no prejudice.

The attempt failed when the ancient ruins of 14,000 empty bottles of Boone’s Farm were uncovered from their resting place and digging operations had to be halted. m ' srrrrr’ (LOWER LEFT) “Oh, oh, I think my deodorant just wore off again.” (TOP LEFT) “If one more person calls and trys to sell me an out of order tele¬ phone, I’m gonna but it!

She is a second year student in Delta College ' s Secretarial Program. AN ACCENT ON YOUTH This is fast becoming a nation of young people. In fact, very shortly half the population of the United States will be under twenty- five. At Dow Corning, as with many other companies across the country, the younger generation is playing an important role in the com¬ pany ' s activities. Why? Because there ' s a lot of truth in that old saying about there being no substitute for experience -- and that ' s exactly what young people are getting today so that they can grow into the .responsible leaders we will look to for guidance in the years to come. Work-study programs are one way that young people are getting that experience. At Dow Corning, co-op students have jobs in laboratories, production, engineering and offices.

As I worked on it I tried to keep you in mind and have as many students as possible included. You also deserve the truth about Delta, so through the amusing copy of the Vicinage, many actualities around Delta are described. This is an unconventional style for a yearbook, but if the book would have told the facts in a straight fashion, the copy would not have been acceptable. As a last thought, I hope that next year there is not a year¬ book, because it is awfully hard to work on a book for the students knowing that the student body does not care. If any of you did care the vibs sure- did not come this way. So now, I will bid you farewell, and hope that by the Fall Semester of ”71” you will have your heads together. Up against the wall.
