Introduction Not so long ago at a far-away and exotic place called Florida State University, (Swamp-ville to its friends) fellow named Ginger Gardner wrote a little ditty entitled The Yearbook is Dead. Now oddly enough, Ginger was a yearbook editor and not quite the sort of guy you'd expect to hear saying that. But Ginger did and what he said bears a little mention. Ginger said something like: . . . the college yearbook that attempts to appeal to any specific element within the university, or a traditional association of elements, such as a senior class, the Greeks or the club system is hokey i.e., contrived. So consequently Ginger threw them all out and came out with an entirely new yearbook that encompassed a broader vision: he captured what happened at FSU from as many eyes as possible. A yearbook. Now PSC isn't FSU. Swampville is a hell of a lot bigger than PSC and it houses a much broader spectrum of students than we do. Also PSC is far more traditionally minded than FSU but we don't necessarily think that's bad. Although we admire what Ginger accomplished, we didn't want to run off and copy his book. At the same time we didn't want to remain stagnant and not do anything. So what we've done is start the Conning Tower off on a new evolutionary path. Where the path will eventually take us we do not presume to predict. We do like the FSU idea, but where the book will end up is anyones guess. We've cut a lot of what you might call fat from the book. In other words, we trimmed a lot of traditional sections that really didn't serve any purpose. Take the clubs for example. While we recognize that almost all of the orginizations serve their members, some serve the people of this college as a whole more than others. Therefore you’ll see fewer organizations in the book this year. The active ones you'll see. The rest of the book follows the same thesis. We sort of like the book, we hope you like it too. Not all of us like all of the book, but what what is a body to do? We're operating under the assumption that we'll probably giggle at this book in a few years, but that’s the risk you take when you set one time, on place down on paper. Ideas change, faces change, but this book is the way we see PSC, its people, our-sleves in 1976. Mary C. Marsis David A. Nesbitt

what we thought were impossible dreams are now being realized . . s PJ X H W tu w C 3 PJ G X m in PQ D m m M w E H Q. What do you particularly enjoy about this campus? A. Well, I like its friendliness and the fact that I can get to know personally a lot of the students. I'm disapointcd that I don't get to know more of them. I'm even getting to the point where I don't know all of the faculty instantly and have to go refresh my memory. At this point I can go on campus and recall what we had to do to fight for this building or to modify that one. What we thought were impossible dreams are now being realized, like our football team and tilings of that nature. I can relate to quite personally some of the evolution and changes that have taken place here. That's one of the things that I particularly enjoy; I can feel that maybe its made a difference that I've been around. Q. What sort of changes have you noticed in the students attitudes since you first came to PSC? A. I think while students have never been perfect there is now a disrespect for property that didn't used to be prevalent. This is something that one of the foricgn students in a discussion with me was appaulcd at. He was really bothered that students were given so much and thought so little of it, while we were fighting to give scholarships, student jobs and so forth to help them through college. The students themselves will allow their peers to take money out of their own pocket by condoning some of destruction and rip offs that we now have. As I said, things were never perfect, but we went for years at Rounds Hall with things pretty much wide open and suffering no losses. We went for years with the doors in Mary Lyons Hall being unlocked. It would have been a mok of rcspcctibility if you thought so little of your fellow students that you'd lock your door on them. Un-fortunatly this is no longer possible. 18
