Zimmerman talks Max Zimmerman, local insur- ance man, spoke to the members of Phi Beta Lambda, SCCJC business fraternity, Tuesday night, November 7. He spoke on insurance needs of people in the age group from 18 to 24 years old. According to Phi Beta Lambda sponsor, Mrs. Doralia Reynolds, t'Many college age people don't know what kind of insurance they should have, so this was an interesting talk. Class looks at crime Social Problems Class of SCC- JC discussed Crime and Law Enforcement on Channel 5, Oc- tober 18. This is part of the out- side class requirement and also allows the students to tell Lib- eral about local social probemsf' It is thought that the student sees things from a different per- spective than the average citi- zen, thus making it possibe for the community to learn and im- prove from the program.

Whatever the reasons behind President Nixon's ending the war, political or otherwise, he deserves the sincere grat- itude ot an entire America. An America who has made out- laws out ot their young who tled the country and the war. An America who, according to President Nixon, will not grant any amnesty, as it did to those who tied both World Wars, and Korea. According to Henry Kissinger, all the American troops will be out ot Vietnam within 60 days ot the signing ot the ceasefire agreement. Also all American POW's and MlA's will be released in the same time period. This includes civilian prisoners and those imprisoned in Cambodia and Laos. And therein lies a problem. North Vietnam says that the U.S. agreed to sign the papers Oct. 3I, and now the U.S. says the papers need some rewriting and that the U.S. may not sign it on the 3lst, as will North Vietnam. Also, President Thieu ot South Vietnam says th-ere will be no peace settlement unless he also signs it, and he does not like the treaty as it now stands. North Vietnam declares that the U.S. said Saigon would agree to the terms arrived at by Ha- noi and the U.S. One ot the maior points ot disagreement tor South Vittnam is that, according to the treaty, the land that is held by troops becomes the property ot that country. Since the war was tought in South Vietnam, it is only that country that will lose territory, and they donft like it. The issue ot Vietnam comes down to one day, October 3l. It is one ot the ugliest issues America has ever involved herself in, and the costliest since World War ll. This is the second guerilla war America has tought in the last 20 years. And as was true in Korea, is true in Viet- nam, there were no victories-only losers. The tamilies that were separated by it, those who died in it, those who were wounded in it, those who were prisoners in it, those who lost their country, and the countries themselves-South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and The United States ot America, all lost. lt is time to look back and see how we became involved and make sure we never make the same mistakes again. lt is a time tor reioicing, and a time tor mourning, and most ot all it is a time to stop and thank God. We did survive.-J. Howell. 43 The electronic piano lab in classroom J makes play- ing enioyable. Library news The Seward County Community Junior College Library is grow- ing with new books which have been arriving by cartons almost daily. The Library is open on Sun- day afternoon for the conveni- ence of college students. Mrs. Mary Anna Brown, Li- brarian, attended the Mountain Plains Library Convention at Omaha, Nebraska, November 8th through llth. Bridge class open The community services course in duplicate bridge is open for new students on Wednesday nights from 7 to 9:30 in the Se- ward County Community College student union building behind Epworth Hall. Persons who would like to join the class are invited to attend any Wednesday night session. They can register for the course at that time. Fee for the full-semester course is 520. Student participation At Seward County Community Junior College, the Stu- dent Government Association should not be iust another token organization which merely goes about its business. Since the SGA's business is the students at our college, it would seem logical that the students would take an interest in their Student Government Association. But the students don't take interest enough even to attend the Student Go- vernment Meetings! Why should students attend .SGA meetings? One big reason: it they really care about their school, they should care enough to tind out what goes on there, especially when it could concern them. The SGA meetings aren't exciting or entertaining. But students will tind they are interesting and informative. Students should come to these meetings to see and participate in the tunctions ot the Student Government Association because students are the SGA's primary inter- est, and they will be amazed at what the SGA does and can do for them. So, students, attend the SGA meetings on Tuesday nights at nine o'clock and show some interest and support tor your Student Government Association. It won't cost you much time and you might be able to make a valuable con- tribution to the meetings. The Student Government Associa- tion would appreciate your interest and attendance.

Guesf ediforial . . . HOW DO I FEEL? How clo I, a McGovern supporfer feel? Presenfly I feel like recifing fhe American's Creed of fhe Declarafion of Independence. Why? Because I feel sorf of lef down, nof by McGovern buf by fhe people I falk fo, people who insfrucf me, people I know, and people I don'f know. I even fhink l'haf's sfrange, buf fhaf parf of me I can'f change. Everyday 'lhe problems of life poinf al' every individual, buf, yef, who wanfs fo realize fhe disfrusf, pollufion, hunger, crime, greediness, inflafion, war, jobless, confrol groups, in- jusfice, welfare, faxes, preiudice, immoralify, lack of pafriof- ism, hafred, and furmoil - all moving away from God. Each of us asks why buf no answers. George McGovern had an- swers. Sure, he was a polifician, and he cIidn'f have every answer, buf he did have an answer fhaf fends fo cafch one's affenfion - money, fo be used for America. I believed in McGovern, and I supporfed him fully. I saw him furned away, and I feel sad. Several 'limes I have heard people say fhal' each pres- idency is really fhe same, yef fhey say fhaf McGovern's ideas are so differenf fhan anyfhing fhey've heard. I fell' 'lhaf we should fry somefhing differenf. For an ever changing coun- fry, America needed and sfill needs somefhing differenf from fhe way if's been going during fhe pasf four, eighf, six- feen, even fwenfy years. Did you ever wanf fo see fhe ad- vanfages of McGovern's ideas? They were really very logi- cal and would have worked, in my opinion. I never wanfecl fo admif fhaf George McGovern would lose, I never lef myself fhink if. ls fhaf wrong? I don'f 'Ihink so. If makes me wonder how many people who vofed for Nixon have ever been for anyone, any idea, any feam who was fhe predicfed loser. Some people iusf don'f wanf fo be differenf from public opinion. Okay, so whaf can I say? l'm nof going fo say 'lhal' l'm glad if furned ouf fhe way if did. Why should I give up and accepf defeaf? I am nof going fo sfop believing whaf I feel- 'rhaf I wanf fo see America's problems solved. lnsfead, l'm going fo confinue 'lo be a parf of fhe loyal opposifion hop- ing 'rhaf Richard Nixon will solve fhe problems illuminafed by fhe George McGovern campaign.

Write a leH'er If you have a problem both- ering you either about our country, state, county, city or school, why keep it to yourself? Express it in the Crusader. lf you believe your problem is really significant and you want your fellow students to know about it, write to the edi- tor and take it by room 322, Epworth. More than likely, you'll be reading your own little gripe in the next issue. 44 Try screen pr-infing The students in the Textile Class at SCCJC have started to experiment with different types of printing that are applied to fabrics today. The first class project was silk screening. Silk screening is design a process of producing a on fabric using stencils. Each student made six stencils of var- ious objects. A wooden frame was made to hold the fabric tightly. Color was poured into the frame, and was applied to the fabric by a wooden paddle that works the color back and forth into the fabric. A different stencil is required for each different color. Some designs required at least four different stencils. Various types of fabrics were used, each crea- ting a different reaction to the printing. According to Mrs. Van Sickle, the instructor, This project al- lows the students to become fa- miliar with what is involved with garments that have a label or a tag saying the design was produced by silkscreeningf' Spaniards book The Spanish Club met Novem- ber 2nd, to discuss money-mak- ing projects. It was decided that they would make Mexican cook- books and sell them. The cookbooks are now in the process of being assembled and should be ready to sell toward the first or middle of December. The cookbooks will make excel- lent Christmas gifts, according to club members. Also, the club is planning a dance with a band and Mexican dinner in January or February.
