Do you find yourself financially in trouble because of tutition, books, food and rent? Well, how would you like to go to school and have the gov- ernment pay for it? That ' s what I did I get paid $311 per month for going to school under the old GI bill. You say you like the idea and you ' re thinking of joining the military for the GI ben- efits? Well, before you go down and sign up, you should know that the ben- efits for veterans are no longer the same under the revised GI bill. Also there are many rules which civilans do not have to worry about. While attending school, you can not miss the same class twice in a row, you can ' t the same class twice in a row, you can ' t miss more than four days a sem- ester, and you must mantain a C average. Interview with Mr. Davis Ward who is working for the Veteran Adminis- tration in West Palm Beach. Q: Mr. Ward, what do you think of the revised GI bill? A: I do not believe that the re- vised bill will be as good as the old bill oecause under the old GI bill, if the veteran wanted to go to school, he could simply apply and recieve up to $311 per month. The amount he re- cieved depended on his schedule load. Now, under the revised bill, the vete- ran must pay approximately 1 3 of his schooling costs. That is to say, for every one dollar that he pays towards his schooling, the government will pay two dollars. However, there is a $225 • per month limit. r — ft P| - g V 1 ' a 1 i H r m ■ V After interviewing several people under both the old and revised GI bills, it seems that the old GI bill is more practical for today. But, since it is not in effect, if you are thinking about joining the military just for the ben- efits, be sure that you save enough money while you are in the service. That way, when you are discharged, you can start back to school without any delay. Barry Underwood

The second week of rehersals the actors had to go through the scenes without their scripts. They remem bered thier Hnes as well as they could. When they forgot a line they would ask thier director for that scene to help them out. If the actors were not in a particular scene, they went off to an- other place and studied their lines. They kept drilling themselves until they had them memorized to the best of thier ability. At this point the actors were really becomming comfortable with their characters. They started to form their personalities so they could portray them to the audience to pro- duce the right imput of emotion from them. Spring Awakening was about kids just beginning to be curious about sex. Unfortunately. Some got to curious for their own good. Kendal Smith portrays Sarah Brint a young girl.

Clubology 101 The Science Club has been one of the longest existing clubs here at J.C. and why not? For the past 14 years they have done almost everything you could imagine to do in the outdoors and this year will not be different. They plan to go canoeing down the Loxahatchee, starting at Indiantown, and at O ' leno State Park in the north- ern part of Florida and other places that are available and interesting. In one trip, the Science Club plans to go tubing down the Ichetucknee, then to a plantetarium, and finally to Seaworld in Orlando. On another trip towards the end of the year the Science Club has planned to go cave exploring and down the white water rapids in North Carolina and Tennessee, then on the way back from there they will be slop- ing at the Florida State Museum in Gainesville, just outside the University. The main goal of the Science Club is to try to involve as many students as possible with the outdoors life according to the advisor, Glen Mar- steller. The club which has about 70 members keep all activities open to all. About one-third of the people going on the canoe trips and other activities are not members; although it does not take much to be a member - only about $2.00 dues and participate in the meetings, activities and fund rai- sing events. If you are interested in an adventuresome study of science contact Mr. Marsteller. The campus radio station, WPBC, is back in the swing of things after it was shut down because of some com- plaints from students and lack of staff members near the end of the winter term last year. Mrs. Mathews, the station ' s advisor and Ms. Toni Ann Mistretta, program- ming director started the radio station up again in hopes they could have a broadcasting course here at the Junior College. It will be up to the students to prove it will be worth while to the staff , says Mrs. Mathews, who gradu- ated from the National Academy of Broadcasting in Washington. The radio station, which can be heard between 8:30 a.m. till 2:00 p.m. in the cafeteria, SAC lounge and on the patio, plays mainly rock and has
