' Bout Ya South Bound ? Palm Beach Junior College is grow- ing every day. The Student Advisory Board is accomplishing many activities this year with their new chairperson Susan Macleod. The Welcome Pic- nic sponsored by SAB on October 6th was a huge success. Many activi- ties are planned for the future such as entertainment for senior citizens at a convelescent home at Thanksgiving, a Night In The Rat and much more. SAB has hired someone to distribute coffee to the night classes. They also set up a scholarship fund for co-op stu- dents. They will give six scholarships; three to full time students, two to part time, and one for dual enrolled stu- dents. South Center students are able to use Florida Atlantic University facil- ities with the use of their student ID card, such as gameroom, Ratskeller, pool, library, bookstore, tennis courts and dormitories. Intermural sports at the South Center has got under way with what looks like a fun season. Flag Football team is under the direction of Dan Terhune and Leonard Bruton. Last year ' s super season is about to be top- ped. A basketball team will be organ- ized for winter term and softball for spring term. Co-ed water polo and volleyball will also be a part of the sports activities. The newest addition to PBJC is another administration trailer which makes a total of three trailers for the faculty and staff. As Boca Raton con- tinues to grow, so must the South Cen- ter and they are doing a fine job of it. f; Cheryl Gerow ■iir V PALM BEACH JUMOR COLLEGE - t

' Bout Ya North Bound? Palm Beach Junior College North has several active and growing organ- izations, as well as, the prospect of a new North Campus. The first of these is the Student Activities Committee, whose major function is the allocation of funds to all other clubs and organizations. They also provide discounts, performances, scholarships, and specail interest act- ivities for P.B.J.C. North students. Another active organization is the Alpha Gamma Sigma Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. Although the chapter has been in existence for less than a year, they were among three chapters who applied for outstanding chapter at the 1978 State Convention held in St. Augustine. They did not receive the award, however, they were commend- ed for their acomplishments. Among these were carwashes, a political picnic, a self-defence seminar, a recycling project, and painting signs identifying the site of the New North Campus. They have also attended the State and National convention, Leader- ship Conference, and honors Institute. There will soon be a New North Campus on P.G.A. Blvd. in Palm Beach Gardens, construction is expected to begin next year. It will offer more ideal facilities and add unity to our student body. In addition, the North Campus will be forming a Business Club open to all business-minded students attending P. B.J.C. North. The Business Club already has approximately twenty in- terested members. ;{: Pamela McDaniel

' Bout Ya Glades Bound? The family of Palm Beach Junior College in the Glades Campus is exhibiting a Natural Closeness as we continue to savor our beautiful surroundings. The pride we feel is revealed in the upkeep of our building. According to Dr. Cecil Conely Glages Provost, the interior and exterior of the campus is respected by all students, therefore the building will remain in excellent condition. Our new building is so well equiped that we have every- thing to help improve our educational system and our annual enrollment. As a student at P.B.J.C. I believe that we have some of the best teachers in the State of Florida. This has been proved by our enrollment, which has doubled since our teachers have shown what they can do with the right equipement, and space. P.B.J.C. is not only for the students, but for many individuals from the community who wish to use our facilities with the permission and supervision of auth- orized personel to better themselves. The students became involved through the S.G.A. attendance for the first general assembly was overwheling. We voted unanimously for $10,000 of the student activity fees to be contributed with matching funds from the Coll- ege for construction of Tennis and Handball courts This will enhance our auditorium which will be under construc- tion soon. For entertainment, the S.G.A. will be showing a number campus for concerts in the near future. Also the S.G.A. will sponser field trips, convention, and floats for parades. The S.G.A. is run by Clarence Anthony, Vice President Greig Lluthvellen, Corresponding Secretary Pedro Orta. And other exectutive members. These students and past students of Palm Beach Junior College who have given their time for the student body are to be commended. They have done a suberb job to make this brand new building a place to be proud of. All of us have worked hard, the students, staff and teachers. They boosted our morales when we low and helped us through many trials and trib- ulations. -X- Pedro Orta
