' 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

' 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

Physical Future at P.B.J.C. ALLIED HEALTH BUILDING LM BEACH JUNIOR COLLEG MRS. FRANCIS R. HAND AlfiPERSON DISTRICT BOARD OF TRU : DR. HAROLD C. MANOR PRESIDENT • DR. EDWARD M. EISSEY PRESIDENT ELECT GINOCCHIO AND SPINA ARCHITECTS PLANNERS GERSCH BRAMUCHI GENERAL CONTRACTORS ALLIED HEALTH BUILDING 21 Construction of the New Allied Building is on schedule to be fully completed by May 1979. Cost of this unique building was going to be about one million six hundred thousand doll- ars, but they have already had to in- crease their budget by twenty thou- sand dollars over the beginning esti- mate. Within the one point six million do- llar budget they planned for more parking areas which will hold another seven hundred and sventy eight park- ing spaces. What this building will hopefully do is to increase the number of stu- dents enrolling in the nursing and occ- upational therapy fields. Dr. Tate and Mr. Schmeiderer hope that all these new facilities will allow students to be able to go on with futher deucation or jobs with better certifications. The building is constructed of con- crete and is three stories high, with many very new ideas of modern pl- anning. The designers of the Allied Building are Ginocchio and Spina from a West Palm Beach firm. When they designed this building, they thought of every need for the student going in- to the field of Nursing and occupation- al therapy and planned specially desig- ned classrooms for nursing labatories and occupational therapy siminar wor- kshop rooms. The designers also plan- ned and amphitheater with many fea- tures that will inable the disabled pers- on to join in on the lectures and other events within the theater. The Amphitheater is going to have ramps connecting the first floor with the second. The ramps also are saving on the budget because then it was un- necessary to install an elevator or steps. The amphitheater and nursing building are connecting to the technical build- ing by ramps. There were many reasons for the construction of this building. Vice President of Business Affairs, Mr. Tate, says that the increasing size of en- rollment in this specific type of class was the main reason. - Jon Flah
