The Short Long Of It The year for comfort Nostalgic preoccupation with the Bicentennial has affected campus clothes and hair styles. Natural fabrics in rich earthy colors dominate the scene. If you look like you ' ve slept in your clothes you ' re with it. Corduroy slacks and denim jeans, topped by plaid or madras shirts all compare for a unisex look. Midcalf, soft, clinging dresses perched atop skyscraper clogs offer a sharp contrast, in increasing numbers. There is a marked decrease in blondes and the extra long hair seems tc be going out of style. Brunettes with shoulder blade lengths of hair is the order of the day for women, and men have gone in strong for collar length hair cuts. With the advent of cooler weather corduroy slacks will gain and an updated version of the poncho is back, stronger than ever. Amodified western influence exerts a subtle influence on much of our campus attire. Three piece suits, so prevalent in upper level univer- sities, have not arrived here. The year is still young and we may yet see them arrive on our fashion scene after winter and the cool weather arrives. This is the year for comfort teamed with practicality as a dominant theme for both hair styles and clothes. We have reached into the past and adopted from many eras to create a new-old blend.. .a fashion look, all our own.i GUNDA CALDWELL Cool weather scene

STUDENT LIFE Traditions Whatever happened to school tradition? In bygone years at JC, many traditions upheld by the older students gave a welcome feeling to the new freshmen. The beanies , dinks , or freshman caps in the green and gold school colors were worn by the freshmen during orientation week along with a placard around their neck. Throughout the year, each club and organization gave a formal dance financed by the SGA. These formal dances and beach parties could be attended almost every week with faculty involvement in many of these activities. See- ing each other in this informal atmosphere helped students and faculty improve classroom attitudes. Christmas time brought a whirlwind of activity as the Art Department and SGA decorated the campus with Christmas trees. Decorated by the students, the trees were given to children ' s homes, nursing homes, etc., when the Christmas vacation began. The Music Department sent out caroling groups, and the various clubs sponsored grab bag Christmas parties. Also, during the holidays, one of the organizations gave a student alumni dance. Traditions seemed to die somewhat, however, as JC be- came a community college, offering more non-degree and vocational programs. But along with the green and gold re- main the memories of days past. MARY HIEGEL Campus Sound • The music that you hear in the cafeteria and the SAC patio is brought to you by the dedicated staff of WPBC, JC ' s very own radio station, located in the Student Ac- tivity Center. WPBC broadcasts from 8:00 am to 2:30 pm, bringing the students both news and a variety of musical sets. Most of the records are donated by students, with some new releases coming from Colombia Recording Studios. WPBC is better equipped to please you, its audience, than in years past. This year they have added two Russco turntables and a Russco studio mix-board, pruchased with a percentage of the Student Activity Fee. In the future, WPBC looks forward to updating more of its equipment and expanding to a full broadcasting program on the FM educational band. They hope to generate more student interest in the broadcasting media on campus, which could lead to a degree in broadcasting at JC. Station manager Jim Klein and DJ ' s Ray Borgerson, Mike Arnold, Bob Doame, Maurice Gaffney, Denny Hayward, Scott Des Ilets, Tim Johnson, and Sue Robins strive to make their broadcasts both entertaining and informative in a professional manner. They invite all JC students to drop by and see how their money has contributed to the operation of the station. WPBC earnestly solicits the support of the student bod and the selections they would like to hear. As assistant manager Ray Borgerson puts it, We want the students to stop over and make a request. Your request might be just what someone else wants to hear. 4 RICK COYLE

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
