Library Resources Hey, do you know anything about that library? la- mented a new JC student. I went in there today and did not know where to look for anything. So goes the sad story of a student who didn ' t ask any of the helpful librarians, headed by Mr. Wiley Douglass, for assistance. JC ' s Library Learning Resource Center (LLRC) contains a wealth of information. If the student would just ask, everyone is glad to help them, comments Faculty Service Librarian Mr. Roberts. After all, that ' s what we ' re here for, he cheerfully added. One thing that many students seem to miss is the first floor audio visual (AV) and fundamental learning lab sec- tions. Non-book information, as science, literature, or art background is located here. Slides, tapes, and records can also assist a student as additional material to his text study. The card catalogue on the third floor will help you locate this visua l or audio material as wedl as the catalogue avail- able on the first floor itself. The student needs a place to find just about anything, cited Mr. Roberts. He is referring to the micro-film hold- ings of the New York Times , the collection of which was begun in 1851. Also on film are selected periodicals in general demand, as psychology, economics, communications, or language jouimals. The Readers ' Guide to Periodical Literature , located on the second floor, tells about editors, authors, titles, and article subjects in at least 120 magazines in popular circu- lation. After you have found your selection, you can discover if it ' s loose, bound, or of film and then proceed to locate your article. When in doubt, ask a librarian. To assist you with material on the reference floor are Mrs. Penelope Brown, Mrs. Erma Hardy, and Mrs. Joyce St. Bernard. A new addition is Mrs. Neumann. Besides the other materials already mentioned, the li- brary also contains an amazing variety of encyclopedias. Subjects covered include religion, social science, or even philosophy. Interesting enough, the encyclopedia of baseball is frequently used where records of plays, games and scores can be found. A vertical file in alphabetical order on the third floor contains items like clips of current interest. They ' re not in permanent form but present a readily available form of reference. Students and faculty alike can request books to be stocked here in the library. Watson B. Duncan made sure that we have a superb Shakespearean reference section. People come from other colleges just to use it, he re- vealed. Along with the various aspects of reference and lit- erature the LLRC offers an area for quiet study. Equip- ment to aid you with your homework is also available for student use, as the eight typewriters located on both the second and third floors. We ' re in a position to help the student, reassured k Mr. Roberts, who then added, He won ' t be scorned if h justs asks for direction! JOHN CHILDERS

Retirees Retirees have more fun! And they obtain some of that fun by being enrolled in a variety of classes at PBJC. Age does not deter the process of learning. One retiree with a bubbling personality is Polly Apfel. She says art keeps her mind alert and keeps her from get- ting lonesome. I ' m not a sitter or a knitter or one for idle gossip, and painting helps me to relax, relates Polly. Her secret is a simple one, Keep busy when growing older. You need an ' ego satisfaction ' or you will become lost. Another interesting retiree is John V. Fair. Graduating three years ago from PBJC with a degree in business admin- istration, John, at that time, was an admirer of Watson B. Duncan III. Since then, he has dreamed of sculpting a bust of Mr. Duncan. This leads to a new study of des- ign and ceramics. He hopes to someday see his dream come true, when he can successfully sculpt such a bust. The plague that he plans to attach to this bust will read, He makes words come to life. Unquestionably, PBJC ' s most colorful retiree is Harold MCCann, now pushing 71. A purchasing agent for 37 years and quite conventional, he was reborn by a strong interest in Transcedental Meditation. Now called ' the oldest hippie on the Gold Coast ' , Harold ' s new-found love of art inspired a trip to Greece, Italy and Turkey to see some of what he studied in class, i- AUDREY DEVENEY Harold McCann, ' the Oldest Hippie on the Gold Coast ' c ' ' •■ l o John V.
