XKKJUIiOKS North Campus The North Campus opened in August of 1976 with 1055 students. This fall of 1977, we have increased by 250 students and 1500 semester hours. The numbers are expected to continue growing due to these benefits of the North Campus: more individual student attention, conveni- ence in transportation, and a general closeness often unique to small col- leges. As well as new students, we have three new instructors: Joan Young, Communications; Alan Johnston, Psy- chology; and Ardata Ferguson, English Reading Specialist, a position new to the North Campus. We also have a new counselor, Mr. Jenkins, who is available primarily to J.C. North Even- ing students. Some positive changes will accomp- any our recent growth. An outdoor patio with tables, umbrellas, and shrub- bery will be added soon. Assemblies on topics ranging from the problems of child abuse to musical entertain- ment are being scheduled. In addition, the North Campus Phi Theta Kappans are planning to open their own chapter separate from the main campus in November. When it is initiated, there will be approx- imately fifty members. Eventually, a new North Campus as large as the main campus will be built on PGA Blvd. in Palm Beach Gardens. In the Meantime, we ' ll enjoy What we have; getting bigger and better. Marilyn D. Robson

SPOKI ' S Co-ed Palm Beach Junior College offers a wide variety of co-ed sports with some of the finest instructors to help you with the many aspects of the games. The student will be instructed on the theory, terminology, and application of the rules along with the strategy, skills, and techniques of the sport. The co-ed program also emphasizes the humerous goof-ups and side splitting antics that synonymous when male and female confront each other in sports. There are many co-ed sports offered such as tennis, badmintton, archery, golf, gymnastics, self-defence, and volley ball, just to name a few. When students see the many excellent co-ed sports offered they should real- ize the amount of fun he she can have laughing and participating in all the humerous mistakes and antics that accompany the learning of the rules and techniques of the sport. For the sports oriented person, P.B.J.C. ' s co- ed program offers many interesting challenges to be met and conquered. When the not so oriented person gets involved, that is when all kinds of funny incidents occur. Students who consider themselves in this category should be aware that they will not be put on public display, but should beable to laugh and learn by their mistakes. The student may ask what can be so funny about co-ed sports, after all its suppossed to an ideal learning sit- uation with different views and abili- ties from the opposite sex. But when the person does participate in one of the programs offered he she will qui- ckly become aware that they are in for a hilarious time. Events such as massive divits in the driving range and wildly hit golf balls flying into oblivion. Minor hurts and sprains may happen though they the- mselves are not funny, the method they were obtained was. Such as running away from a birage of stray arrows, or when Mr. Sport gets swat- ted in the eye because she didn ' t like the way he was assisting her with her tennis swing . The self-defense program also offers a valuable lesson in self and pro- perty protection, while providing one of the most humerous windows to observe student actions. Little girls dumping big guys on their bottoms and big guys falling for all the cute little girls. Students should not be alarmed by flying objects: grass, balls, people, rackets or anything else avail- able to throw when someone has one of those days . There is one con- solation; if a student never grasps the sport, he she will still benefit from the exercise, in retrieving all the things that were thrown in a moment of frustration. Coach Roy Bell has a humerous ob- servation about co-ed sports. It seems he says that the men will regress to little boys and act silly and over- protect the women when involved in a co-ed sport. On the other hand, when both are Involved in a team sport, the guys offer very little con- sideration to the ladies. So if you want a learning experience and a side splitting look at human nature, try a co-ed sport. Lenny Nichols
