The Printed News 15 Mr. Johnathan Koontz is the supervisor of publications here at Palm Beach Junior College. The Publications include the news bureau and the print- shop. When Mr. Koontz first came to the college both the printshop and news bureau were working seperate, but with his help they are now together. The news bureau is designed to help the students, faculty, and the com- munity. When a story or article comes to the attention of the news bureau they contact the Palm Beach Times, Palm Beach Post Times, Miami Hearld and among others, our school news- paper the Beachcomber. They do and will work with student organizations. They wish that people woud talk to them while in the planning stages, so they can help gice all the support they can. Some of the classes here at Palm Beach Junior College may have never MR. KOONTZ AT THE NEWS BUREAU MS. LINN IRS. YUORA LESTER AND MRS. LORAINE KENT Started if it was not for the news bureau influencing both the community and the students. The printshop is designed to help clubs, organizations, staff and faculty only. The staff which includes printshop supervisor Loraine Kent, the Chairperson Mr. Koontz, lay out artist Ruth Lafferty, printing technician Yuoria bester, and the student assistant Darlene McClendon, has helped the college in many ways. They have printed all appli- catins, the student handbooks, which they printed 10,000 copies and put it together by hand, as well as the supli- ment to the school catalog, the directory, and tests for teachers, plus too many other items too numerous to mention. They are now working on a photo directory of the faculty, staff, and administration. T his year the printshop has just purchased a new AB Dick press. The press that has been used by the printshop is now in the Art Department. The new AB Dick press allows them to increase their work and offer more color printing. Without the help of both the printshop and news bur- eau the college would not be as recoginzed as we are but by their communication effort a continue rapport ex- sists between us and the community.

KB« J.C • Diagnosis Apathy is a serious disease that afflicts the majority of the students here at Palm Beach Junior College. Apathy is lack of emotion, lack of interest; indifference. This disease is contagious and spreads to all of the student body and faculty. No laboratory tests are required, the disease is visible. It eats away at the student body. In order to have a well balanced and complete body; in- volvement must be experienced by the student body and faculty. Dr. Eissey a former student of Palm Beach Junior College can see a tremendous lack of involvement and interest in student activities with the current enrollment. If a good dose of Pacer Spirit could be injected into the student body, enthusiam would spring up everywhere!! Student involvement can become the life-line of the college. There need not be a disease named APATHY! It can be wiped out by Pacer Spirit. This disease can be cured! There is someone that cares; Dr. Eissey is very interested in you as a student; and what you think, and how you feel. Althogh he will occasinally call you a bum! He listens to the students and he wants your input, as well as the particapation of faculty staff and his administration. He wants the students to know who the President is rather than just a name There are people interested in what we think, why we think it, they are anxious to meet with us and hope to establish programs and activities that can meet our needs. -X- Debbie Johns 0Wcf DR.

The Sports Connection Intramural sports programs are one of the oldest organized forms of sports in American colleges and univ- ersities. The early programs were the result of student leaders wishing to participate in leisure-time athletic act- ivities of their own choosing. The In- tramural and Recreation Board spon- sor all intrfmural activities on the campus at PBJC. The board receives it ' s financing from a share of the act- ivity fee paid by the students. INTRAMURAL OBJECTIVES Intramural objectives are realistic goals, based on the phylosophies, ne- eds, and capabilities of individuals and institutions, that the directors of the programs and the players seek to reach. Intramurals at J.C. is a pro- gram for the students and of the stu- dents. The main and only objective is to provide fun and recreational for all the students. Activities are plan- ned by the I R Board on the needs of the students. sasjgajtagigsiwir TKwnr n. a a
