m tm The spirit of ' 76 is among the students and faculty of JC. After submitting several appUcations, JC was chosen as the Bicentennial campus from this area. Selections were made from various learning institutions throughout the state. Mr. Edwin Pugh, chairman of JC ' s Bicentennial activities, stated that the fact of JC being the oldest junior college in Florida, was a definite factor in the decision. JC unveils many plans for cele brating the upcoming Bicentenn- ial. Plans on the drawing board include a video-taped oral history program. We want to recognize people who we feel have made contributions to history. JC marked the beginning of the Bi- centinnial activities on October 8 when students formed a 76 in the Sunshine Patio. The first major event was Armis- tice Day which was held on Nov 11 in the Flagler Museum. An illustrative talk was given be re- tired British Admiral, Sir AUestaire Ewing. Ewing is the head of the English-speaking union which means a great deal to JC ' s campus. This union is responsible for pro- viding scholarships for people in order to allow them to study in Europe. Although 1976 represents the Bicentenial, it also signifies the approach of the Florida presiden- tial preferential primary. It is the hope of Mr. Pugh that people as- piring to the presidency will speak to students on campus. Ronald Reagan is being considered as a possible speaker. According to Mr. Pugh, all Democrats and Re pubUcans will be in great demand as spokesman. Also, says Pugh, if there is a third party candidate we ' ll go afte them faster than anyone else. This|p will hopefully prompt others aspir- ing to the presidency to appear on campus. Shirley Chisholm, Sena- tor Hubert Humphrey, and Senator 16
