Finch visits ICIC campus c ...IH Bnace Strickland, Melissa Thornton, and Rochelle Johnson question Finch. Governor Cliff Finch and seven mem- bers of his staff hosted student day at JCJC on December 7 before a well repre- sented student body. The Governor made himself available to all students who had questions about state govern- ment. After arriving an hour late by helicop- ter, Governor Finch proceeded to the conference room for a reception and a question and answer period with the stu- dents. Approximately l0O students and faculty members attended the meeting. Governor Finch was faced with questions concerning nuclear waste, the death pen- alty, teacher salaries, ERA, and the CETA program. When asked about nuclear waste being dumped in Mississippi the Governor rep- lied that no nuclear waste would be dumped in Mississippi and Mississippi would not be the dumping ground for the rest of the world. Concerning the death penalty, Finch commented that he was for it. Finch said he was not for the death penalty in all major crimes but only in exceptional cases. After 45 minutes of questioning, the Governor met with several students on a one-to-one basis. Each student had a chance of private discussion with the Governor. The Governor ended the day with a tour of the JCJC campus before depart- ing for Jackson by helicopter. .sr -nr-Mr' -J. 1 ts T W? W. H.
