THE SOU'WESTER Vol. 2, No.3 SOUTHWESTERN MICHIGAN COLLEGE, DOWAGIAC, MICHIGAN 49047 Oct. 16, 1967

Our go anywhere - do anything-photogrpaher recently took his trusty camera aloft to record this shot of SMC. There is no truth to the rumor that he fainted upon his return to earth.

SMC Bookstore

offers class rings Students of SMC may now

start ordering their college class rings. The rings, now on display, maybe ordered through Mrs. Fuessle in the book store.

There are three different typee of men's rings. The style is the same for all the rings, but there is a difference in the backing under the stone.

The most inexpensive of the three types is the style of ring that has no backing whatsoever. It costs $28.00 for a yellow gold setting. All rings cost $5.00 more for white gold.

The most popular men's ring to be ordered so far, is the style with a clear, plastic back­ing under the stone. This one runs $31.00 for the regular yellow gold setting.

The third type of ring has a solid gold backing. This style is more expensive because it is made of solid gold. The price of this man's ring is $34.00 for a yellow gold setting.

All girls' rings come with the plastic backing under the stone. Unlike the man's ring, these rings are tear-drop shap­ed, with a small stone in the center of the setting. The girl's rings cost $23.00 or $28.00, depending on the type of gold ordered.

There is a choice of 13 dif­ferent stones and either a smooth stone or a faceted one may be ordered. The smooth stones may have emblems or

---·····-- ·----

letters placed on them. Any. one who wants to have a par­ticular stone put in the setting, may do so, providing that the stone fits.

Rings may be ordered with three initials engraved inside the band, at no additional cost. To have more initials engraved, however, costs 10 cents more, per letter.

When ordering rings, a $5.00 deposit is required. After the order is sent in, there is a four week lapse before delivery. The rings are not sent to SMC or to the book store, but direct­ly to the purchaser's home. Upon delivery, the balance of the price, plus $1.00 for postage handling must be paid.

Officials report no news on theft

Dr. Nathan Ivey, president of the college, has reported to this paper that no lead has yet been reported to him concerning the recent theft from the vo­cational building.

Sheriff Robert Dool remarked that there are no definite leads at this time, but the depart­ment is in the process of in­vestigation.

While the theft is expected to be solved, replacements for all the stolen equipment has been ordered so that those depart­ments affected may continue operation.

Candidates for the Student Government offices were given an opportunity to express their views at last Tuesday's convoca­tion. Bob Hess plugs for student support.

Liston elected president As no surprise to anyone Jim Liston was elected president of

SMC's student government by students who voted Friday. Liston had been opposed by Terry O'Rielly, but he dropped out just weeks before the election for personal reasons.

Drama club plans

production

The new Drama Club's first production will be on Nov. 5, and will tie in with the show in the gallery beginning on that date.

"Hello Out 'There,u a one act play by William Saroyan, is being presented. It is the story of a roving migrant work­er who is falsely accused of rape. After imprisoned, he meets a young girl who cooks for the prisoners and becomes fascinated by her introverted personality. He finds out that the former ladY's husband in­tends to lynch him and he gives the girl all the money he had saved and tells her that no mat­ter what happens he will meet her in San Francisco. The irate husband shoots him and he can never meet her. -

It should prove to be a suc­cessful production, and we are proud of SMC' s first attempt at serious drama.

IM Board appointed

The 1967-1968 Intramural Board appointments have been announcetl by Ronald Gunn, Men's Intramural Director. Threee sophomores and one

• freshman will make up the im­portant ruling body.

Receiving appointments were Mark Grove, a psychology ma­jor who plans to transfer to the University of Michigan, Jer­ry Shields, a business major and physical education minor, who plans to transfer to Western Michigan, Bruce Watson, a busi­ness administration major, who plans to transfer to Western Michigan, and Tom Tuka, an aviation major who also plans to transfer to Western Michigan. The first three board members listed are sophomores while 'fuka is a freshman.

The intramural board serves primarily as an advisory body on matters of program and policy. The board members al­so serve as a judicial body in disputes that arrive in in­tramural activities. Another important task of the IM board is to promote activities that will provide financial aid and support for the intramural pro­gram.

In commenting about the IM board, Mr. Gunn said, " I feel that the board will be respon­sible to a great extent for de­termining the success of this year's intramural program. The members are all " doers" and hustlers and I think that they will do their best to give all of the Students of SMC a good program.''

Presently the board members are working out details for the big Student all Star-Faculty foot­ball game to be held on Oct. 21.

Upon news of his election Liston stated, "Now the easy part is over. The tough job will be getting the senate organized and doing the job it should. I'm sure I speak for the whole Stu­dent government when I say we'll try to do the best job we can."

The race for vice president was extremely close with Linda Rom.ig winning over Nancy Ser­vatius by a narrow margin. The vice presidential race was fought to the finish with the can­didates trying to out-do each oth­er with the extent of their pub­licity.

Neither candidate was elected chief justice since a tie for that office developed. A special run­off election will be held later to decide between Meiser and Cramer.

Of the election of officers Dr. Donald Newport stated that it was one of the closest races he has ever witnessed.

The reamlnded to the officers also ran unopposed. They are: Judy Powell, executive secre­tary, Ron Kahler, treasurer, and Sqzanne Gray, recorder.

Eleven so hom,lres and ei ht f es tors. They are by class: sopho­mores, Bruce Watson, Nancy Murray, Bob Hess, Pete Kauff­man, Jim Scheetz, John Hass, Mark Grove, Sue Cathcart, Dave Geegan, Ralph Clime, and Ernie Klug. Freshmen are: Annette Balr, Steve Crocker, Cindy Jones, Nancy Szlede, Barb Bon­ine, Holy Olds, Rick ,Butler, and Diana Wyant.

Less than half of the eligible student body voted in this elec­tion. Of the 545 full-time stu­dents at Southwestern only 266 cast votes. Observers at the bal­lot counting session were heard to remark that if more students had voted the chief justice race would not have resulted in a tie as it did.

The results of the elections were first announced to the stu­dents at a victory dance held Friday night at the Elks Club in Dowagiac. The winners were announced and they were then presented to the assembled stu­dents.

All star voting

Some dissatisfaction was ex­pressed Friday as to the early date for the selection of the IM football All Star squad. The in­tramural board explains that they waited as long as possible before holding the vote.

They have reasoned that the game must be played in decent weather and therefore the game must be played on Oct. 21 with Oct. 28 scheduled for milke­up date in ease of inclement weather.

The board understands that all IM footballers do not know ev­eryon'e capabilities, but they also realize that if they waited until the end of the season the weather may be too bad to play ln. Also the Dowagiac school system will not allow the field to be used if it is wet.

Jim Liston, Student Govern­ment President.

LMC crisis is avoided

The crisis that has kept the 2, 220 students from classes for more than a month has been submitted to binding arbitra. tion.

The Area Resources Improve­ment Council announced that both sides of the dispute had agreed to abide by the decision of the arbitration board. Mem .. bers of the panel include Elisha Grey II, chairman of the board of Whirpool Corporation, David Nurse, president of Heath Co., and Robert Hungate, general manager of the Hydraulics D1v1· sion of Bendix Corporation. All are members of the lrnJrove-ment councll. •

Had not a solution been reach­ed by today the fall semester would have been canceled and the students of LMC would have to seek their employment else· where.

The dispute which had closed the college centered around faculty demands for a master contract which would provide for faculty opinions on size of classes, length of school day, and dismissals. The LMC board offered individual contracts to the faculty, but they demanded a master contract.

If no decision hadbeenreach­ed by today on these issues, classes will open anyway, by faculty-board agreement.

The students of LMC played an important part in the strike when they staged an around-the­clock camp.ln in order to re­open negotiations. The students also requested the city officials of Benton Harbor and St. Jo­seph to try to bring the parties together.

Editorial

Do It, Students Yes, Siree The recent news from Lake Michigan College is a boon to all

harried students everywhere, and SMC students can certainly take example from our Berrien County collegues.

At LMC a fewinterestedstudentsconductedapeaceful demonstra­tion in order to end the deadlock that has kept them from classes since September 13. It has as of this writing (October 7) been nearly a month ai)d our poor brothers to the north have not had a single class meeting. Some students have been seeking their education elsewhere and the only course open to those who remained was to present their grievances to the parties concerned by a method that would point out their plight and yet present them in a favorable light. The method they selected did succeed in these objectives.

Although we recognize the right of faculty member to negotiate their differences with the Board of Trustees, we deplore the fact that no meaningful negotiations have been held for several weeks. The responsibility for this rests on the shoulders of both parties in the confllct, the Board and faculty of LMC alike.

The Lake Michigan students brought the spotlight on their situa­tion by the prudent use of an around-the-clock camp-in at the ad­ministration complex. This overt act in conjunction with aid from a state mediator has brought the warring parties together for talks which may foster an opening of classes.

This illustration of student power descends like a breath of fresh air on a fraternity of students who have been beleaguered by so many ill-guided collegiate movements.

We certainly hope both parties have reached a satisfactory solu­tion to the impasse and that classes are now in full swing.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor:

Robert Christensen's essay on the textbook shortage which appeared in the last issue of "The Sou'wester" was very timely, painfully t r u e, but slightly misleading. I have been dueling with assorted college bookstores as a student and as a faculty member for 17 years and have discovered one univer­sal fact. Ninety per cent of the textbook delay can be traced to the realm of the publisher. The other ten per cent can be credit­ed to the student who did not take the trouble to tell anyone that he did not have a book, to the faculty member who goofed his order and to the bookstore which mislaid the order in a ra.. tio of about 6:3:1 per cent. Most of SMC's textbook problem now lies with the publsher's distri­bution procedure and we are at his mercy.

As a faculty member with stu­dents who lack books, I have problems also. I can proceed as scheduled for the majority of the students who managed to se­cure, books, sympathize with the minority who did not and place my copy in the library on re­serve, or I can court disaster by trying to change the course syllabus in midstream and hope that the books arrive. Right now I am trying both.

In my capacity as an advisor to students who have a sec­ondary education curriculum in progress I destroyed some very reasonable estimates for book needs by unorthodox class elec­tion; anticipating full sections and schedules that would con­flict. My advisees still have sound programs, but the poor in. structors who received the overload had no reason..to sus­pect that it was coming and pre-

The Sou'wester welcomes all letters to the editor pro· vided they are in good taste. All letters must be signed, but the Sou'wester will not print the name on request. Letters may be addressed to: Editor, Sou'wester, Southwes t e r n Michigan College, Dowagiac.

pare for it. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I am glad that I did it just the same. SMC is still a little young for real ac­curate book purchasing on the first round.

I believe that Mr. Christen­sen is correct about the pre­registration in the future. Not only will it provide the book­store with a rough count on text needs, but it will facilitate scheduling of classes and sec­tions, eliminating conflicts and allocating rooms with adequate capacity to hold the whole class.

Sincerely, Richard T. Kingman

To The Editor: Hats off and a special tribute

to the unsung heroes of this past year's Student Senate. These people worked hard to make SMC aplacewherefaculty and students could work more productively and relax in a bet­ter atmosphere.

Since my acquaintance with the Student Senate in early July, I have seen that the blood and guts, day to\ day work has fall­en on the shoulders of a few very willing workers.

It is to this end that I would like to see these people re­ceive the praise that is due them. They have gone above and beyond the expectations that anyone has had of them.

They have committed them­selves to SMC; they have be-

"To Sir, With Love" has now ended a too short engagement at the Granada in South Bend.

. It seems as if the bad pictures drag on and on, while those I wouldn't mind seeing twice are gone before you know it. "To Sir, With Love" was one of those rare ones that can stand up to the return audience without putting them to sleep.

If ''Up the Down Staircase'' is concerned w i t h the evils of teaching, "To Sir" should swell the .ranks of the M.E.A. It's an extremely moving movie.

The entire picture had an in­credible amount of credibility. James Clavell should receive an Oscar for producing, directing and writing such a fine film. He should also be commended on a fine job of casting.

By NORM MELSER Enough cannot be said of Sid­ney Poitier. I have yet to be disappointed in any of his roles. In this case he brings to the screen a meaningful portrayal of a neophyte teacher w h o throws away the books in order to teach his students what life is like. He demanded respect from the students, and he got it from them.

Interpreting my last article one would form the opinion that I hate psychedilic music. It only seems this way because my con­cluding paragraph was cut off by the printer. It is true, however, that I like more realistic sounds like those put fort!l by such groups as TommyJamesand the Shondells, the Association, the Treineloes, and the Turtles.

The Turtles, for example, not only have a real sound, but they are 100 per cent them on rec­ord as well as in concerts. They don't use studio musicians or constantly redub tape, unless they can honestly duplicate itin person. If a group performs on their own record, they w i 1 1 sound like their own record when performing live.

The Turtles are the only ma­jor recording group on the White

· Whale label. They and their rec­ord company have to depend up­on each other. Since this is the situation, it is somewhat of an initiative to hold each other up.

Originally, the Turtles were known as the Crossfires. Their first record after White Whale signed them was ''It Ain 't Me Babe,"

This group has definitely made the grade. The Turtles are fast with hit records and have gained world fame, second on to the Beach Boys in European popularity. Even with losing their rhythm guitarist, T i m Tucker, the Turtles will still be successful.

This fall the fast-moving Tur­. tles will appear 1n the Smother · Brothers, Jerry Lewis, and

Carol Burnett Shows. Novem-

come involved in a total educa­tional experience; they have beaten the oft heralded "stu­dent apathy" that plagues all college students at some time or ' another. This is what real students and real people are made of.

These are the people that we the students and faculty of SMC owe a tremendous tribute to.

Hats off and congratulations to - Linda Romig, Carol Mc­Kenzie, Judy Powell, Ronald Kahler, Shirley Wolfe, Nancy Murray, B u t c h King, Jerry Shields, Kathy Bromley, Nina Babcock, Clarence Cramer and John Haas.

! The Beaten Path \ { By Robert Christensen ~

Student Government elections are almost completed. The election roster is completely filled, with only three candidates running un­opposed. Superficially, everything seems to be progressing smooth­ly. But two weeks ago, on Sept. 29, the situation was not quite so picturesque.

September 29 was the last day for applications for candidacy to be submitted. As of 8 a.m. that morning, only 12 persons had an­nounced their candidacy for the 26 Student Government positions. Fourteen positions still remained to be filled before a complete slate could even be offered.

Several concerned students immediately took action. All day they haunted the Commons, waylaying any and all likely-looking students. They pleaded, they cajoled, they begged - and finally applications began coming in. By 5 o'clock that afternoon, 46 stu­dents had filed for candidacy and the election process could finally get underway.

And so, in the midst of a merry mess, we are now electing our Student Government officials. This is the body that represents the students. This is the best organ through which student opinions can be voiced and corresponding actions taken. And what kind of people do we have to select these officials from? A few dedicated hard­workers , a few potential leaders, and many bewildered students who have only a vague idea of what the Student Government really is.

This creates a hopeless situation for the electorate. How are they supposed to select an efficient Student Government? How can they possibly discern the sincere candidates from those who are only running because " everybody's doing it?" The electors are forced to rely on campaign posters and the impression they form from one-minute campaign speeches. In all likelihood, it will all work out well in the end. The newly-elected officials may be will­ing to perform their duties efficiently and sincerely. But isn't it a sad beginning?

The fault does not lie with the candidates who finally did run or the students who talked them into it. They acted in good faith, choosing the only available solution to the problem ... The entire student body is to blame. Plenty of complaints have been voiced and published about the so-called "inactive' ' student government. But when the opportunity finally presents itself to remedy the situ­ation, what happens? Nothing! In reality, it seems that the com­plainers are the very ones who are too apathetic to do anything but complain. They could never find time to attend a senate meeting; they could never request a copy of the minutes to see what the sen­ate has done; they are too busy to run for office. But, brother, can they complain!

News Roundup Students view riot area

If learning through experi­ences can be achieved, it cer­tain was attained by the Ameri­can Studies·:~tudents who took a two-<iay field trip to Detroit on Sept. 29 and 30. Those that went on the trip, faculty included, found that they got much more than a field trip; they got an in­sight into people' s lives and the problems surrounding t h e s e people. What is more, one pur­pose of the American Studies Program was fulfilled.

esting to note that many of the buildings that had ' 'Soul Broth­er" written on them were spar­ed of the fire bombs, and that none of the churches in the area were harmed. It seemed almost ironic that whole blocks would be burned out, yet r ight around the corner it was as if nothing at all had taken place. If one had not know about the riots, it would be eauy to sus­pect an atomic war attack.

SMC seeks accreditation

SMC is now in the process of working toward accredita­tion by the North Central Ac­creditation Association. This is an important achievement for all new educational institutions. Accreditation signifies that the institution has achieved certain basic standards and is offer­ing high-quality curriculums.

Arriving at the Mayor's Com­mittee for Human Resources Development building, the SMC group found a very cooperative Mr. Ralph Rosenfelt, who in a short two hours explained what he could about the riots, the slum areas, and the Urban Re­newal Centers. He also gave the visitors plenty of time to ask questions, so the time spent in the library researching, was worth the effort.

When the bus reached the slum area, it was easy to see why the people rioted out of discontentment. Some of the houses didn't look fit for ani­mals to live in. much less peo­ple, and for the first time, the students w e r e understanding what the textbooks, magazines, newspapers, and professors had been talking about ... poverty. The Urban Renewal Centers were a " sight for sore eyes" as the group headed back to the ho­tel.

government in action on their recent trip to the urben renewal .. and state NAACP Convention in Detroit.

It is important to emphasize that new institutions of higher learning, like SMC, do not ob­tain accredited status at their inception. This, however, does not in any way infringe the transferability of credits earn­ed at SMC.

According to Mr.. Anderson, Assistant to the President, SMC is fulfilling its requirements at record pace. ''Many community colleges do not even attempt to become accredited this early," stated Mr. Anderson.

Departments announce

proposed changes Several requirements have al­

ready been completed. In May, 1967, a Status Study was pre­pared by the faculty and submit­ted to the North Central Asso­ciation. This study, which eval­uated and explained the many aspects of SMC' s educational program was approved without reservation by North Central. Institutional data forms are now being completed which will up­date the Status study.

After a quick lunch at the Mayor's building, a bus tour was taken, headed by Mr. Her­ceg, assistant to Mr. Rosen­felt. During this tour, the stu­dents and faculty were exposed to the viciousness of the July riots and the remains of what used to be big furniture and de­partment stores. It was inter-

After a short rest and leisure­ly supper, individual members set out with prepared question­naires to interview as many NAACP convention members as time permitted, to find out how various Negroes felt about sev­eral important current issues.

The Business Department has announced plans to submit sev­eral new programs and courses to the Curriculum and Instruc­tion Committee of the faculty.

One major change will be in the data processing program. It is presently offered as only an in­troductory course, but future plans are to enlarge it to a com­plete data processing program involving many different areas.

The present Cooperative stu­dent-employer program will be changed slightly. Sfudents of marketing and sales will no longer be required to partici­pate in the program. A new as­pect of Co-op will be a course in the observation of businesses. It will give the student an oppor­tunity to observe and note dif­ferent people doing different jobs. Once a week the class will meet and discuss observations.

Personnel report

Thursday, Oct. 5, the per­sonnel classes attended a dis­cussion on the '' Urban Revolu­tion.' ' The recent riots and disruptions. in our nation's cities forrri~d the basis of the discussion.

The student panel was made up of Jan Harris, James Hol­laway and Ron Dlol. All three are American Studies students and have recently been to De­troit to study the riot-torn areas.

The faculty members of the panel were Mr. William An­derson, assistant to the presi­dent and teacher in the social studies area. and Mr. Darrell staat, who teaches English and American literature.

The two guest speakers were Dr. John Wllllams and Mr.Nel­son Cummings. Dr. WUliams, who is a history professor at Notre Dame University, dis­cussed the historical back­ground of the Urban Revolution. He made the statement that city disruptions were common in our nation even in colonial times, and that many disruptions were worse than those that took place this sum mer. Mr. Cumming dis­cussed the current problems and possible solutions to them. He said that the problem cannot be solved bymoneybecause that would only be treating the re­sults of the problem and not the cause. Only by treating the cause can the problem be solved.

SMC hosts Kim from Japan

It was during Orientation that Dr. Newport mentioned that SMC is a mixture of people from different cities, counties, states and countries. One of SMC' s international figurines is Kim Koga. from Japan.

Although new to Southwest­ern, Kim has lived in the Unit­ed States close to two and a half years. After leaving Japan, Kim attended the University of Michigan, where she took basic Engllsh courses.

Kim will either complete her degree at Western Michigan University or at Indiana state. Eventually, Kim hopes to go back to Japan to teach.

Kim was born in Japan and raised in Kobe. The city of Kobe has a population of one mllllon people and it is on the same island as Tokyo. Kim's father owns a printing busi­ness. Kim has one younger sister. Prior to coming to the United States, Kim attended an Engllsh school for two years.

f.!ursing program new quarters

•

'" There are 18 girls in the

Practical Nursing class for the first semester of this year. These students, after com· pleting the program, will have acquired the knowledge, skills, ablllties, and attitudes that are necessary for giving direct care to ill patients of all ages and will be llcensed to assist a physician or professionalnurse with care of acutely 111 patients.

The course is for one year and provides a broad exposure to the theory and practice of Practical Nursing. Students must first fill out the college appllcation form and must be ac­cepted by SMC. Then all their school records and G .E .D. exam

scores are considered and a personal interview is made. All applicants must be between l?lf2 -55 and have a physical examina.tlon and 3 personal ref­erences. After November 1, 1967, a high school diploma or its equivalent will be required by Michigan state Law. If every~ thing turns out satisfactorily then the student is admitted to the program and can remain as long as a C average is maintained.

The courses for the first semester make up 19 hours of courses such as anatomy, medical ethics, nursing fUnda­mentals, nutrition, and many others including PersonnellOl.

The official uniforms for S.M.C.'s student nurses have been selected. The uniforms worn by student nurses are indicative of the school they attend and each school has its own design. The uniform includes a dress, cap, and a pin. SMC' s uniform Is a pink pin stripe dress with a white blouse and white shoes and hose. The pin is designed after the school emblem ana is in green and gold. The cap, which is awarded at the end of the first semester is white and has the emblem on the side.

The student Nurses will start their hospital work on Oct. 10, and will be working in the Lee Memorial Hos­pital of Dowagiac, the Cass County Hospital, and the Lake­view Community Hospital of Paw Paw. The work in the hospitals is to provide the student nurses with practical experience in nursing and it also gives them a chance to explore all the different fields of nursing.

DONALD SHERIDAN

Mr. Donald Sheridan, a new faculty member at SMC this year, has come to us from Graceland College in Iowa. He taught at the four-year liberal arts institution for three years after receiving his master's degree in creative writing at the University of Guanajouto in Guanajouto, Mexico. He did his undergraduate studies at Carth­age College formerly in Illinois, now in Kenosha. Wisconsin. A f. ter receiving a bachelor's de­gree in Arts (majoring in Eng­lish) at the small Lutheran af­filiated school, he studied for a year at the Northwestern Luth­eran Theological Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His purpose in attending the semin· ary was to fulfill his convic­tions that the layman should learn about and experience his religion at a greater level than the surface study of the Bible (or whatever work that religion is based upon). After these first five years of school, he joined the Army and was in the Army Security Agency, stationed just outside Boston. Mr. Sheridan was disappointed because ofthe Army's denial of travel, so he worked for awhile in sales pro­motion to save money for his ·graduate studies. He then trav­eled to Guanajouto with his new wife and there met with in­teresting people and studies. Mr. Sheridan's poetry instruc­tor had known Edna St. Vincent Millay, James Thurber, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude stein;· and Sterling Dickinson, among oth­ers and shared his memoirs with his studetns.

When confronted with the ques­tion of differing student's at­titudes in a foreign university, Mr. Sheridan replied that the students were about the same but that the school's atmosphere was more continental.

Last summer Mr. Sheridan worked in the government pro­gram, " Upward Bound." The program involves students from the high school sophomore level on up and helps these students with college aptitude become in­terested in _college and higher

~--·························~·· learning. Many of the youngpeo ple were from culturally depriv­ed, financially stressed homes, and some were not, but had no motivation for higher learning. Mr. Sheridan's group was very successful and had the high re­sults of 75 to 80 per cent of the students becoming in­terested in college.

This semster Mr. Sheridan is teaching speech, Honors Eng­lish, and composition. He hopes next semester to offer Thea­ter Appreciation, English Liter­ature, and creative writing and a creative writing workshop at night for adult education. He is also the drama coach pro-tem and hopes to get SMC'ers in­terested in a drama club. ' ' It is very desirable to get drama off the ground because of the opportunity for student expres­sion, to bring recognition to the school, and to bring satisfaction to the community. The people now will be doing the spade work." Mr. Sheridan has had professional and amateur dra­matic experience in Shake­spearean plays, in The Rain­maker, Wonderful Town, and many others. He has appeared at Lakes Region Playhouse in Laconie, New Hampshire, and Des Moines Community Play­house, in Des Moines, Iowa.

Mr .. Sheridan is an avid read­er, enjoys hunting and fishing, but lists raising beef cattle and quarterhorses as his hobbies. Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan live in Dowagiac, but hope to move to the country and stick around Southwestern for awhile. We're very glad to have them here.

SMC plans new buildings

Four new building projects are in the planning stage for further educational facilities at Southwestern. One of them is another wing on the just-com­pleted Applied Science Center; it would house the vocational­technical education programs and be 16,000 square feet in area. Business, drafting tech­nology, and other new vocation­al education programs would al­so be located there. A health and physical education building is also being planned; this instruc­tional facility would eliminate the rental of the armory, and would enable the entire student body to meet in one large area. A student union with food serv­ice, bookstore, lounge and study areas, and senate and publica­tions offices is a third building planned for our campus. Fourth­ly, an administrative-counsel­ing unit is needed. Administra­tive officials, counselors, and general offices will be situated there.

The four buildings would en­able the spaces now used for faculty offices, and commons to be used for classroom facili­ties and would increase coun-

Club organization­rules

The word from Mr. Doyle's office is that anyone who wants to organize a club must fill out an application to register the club. This must be done before the club will be formally rec­ognized. As of now, one club on campus has followed this procedure.

According to schedule, Mrs. Larry Grosser, wife of the well-known Director of the Institute of American Studies, presented SMC with a new member for its class of 1986. The new beauty was born Wednes­day, Oct. 4 atBronsonHos­pital in Kalamazoo. The new tax deduction was de­signed a Jodi Lynn, and is welcomed at home byasis­ter Denise. The proud papa, relieved of sympathy pains, can be recognized by his broad grin and cigar stuffed pockets. Huzzahs andabra­zos to the proud parents from the Sou'wester staff for a job well done!

seling programs. This is very important to a junior college with an open-door policy be­cause of the wider range of in­terests and abilities charac­teristic of more diversified stU­dents. The technical and health and physical education instruc­tional facilities would receive top priority; the bid for ad­ministrative offices was turn~ down last year, and there is ac­tually no prec~dent for a sep­arate student union. Very few junior colleges do have such facilities.

Our application for a match­ing 50 per cent went to the Bu­reau of Higher Education on Sept. 1, from there the pro­posal goes to the Bureau of the Budget, and comes under legis­lative action next spring. It may be as late as May that SMC will learn its answer to the appro­priation bill.

Under this plan, the com­munity would raise 50 per cent of the building cost and the state would match that amount. Southwestern does have money left in the Building and Site fund which can be applied toward our local share.

Miss Wentz has noted with pleasure a great influx of stu­dents using the library and its fac111tles. More new books have come in and are ready to be used.

Artists head for Chicago

Approximately 60 SMCers from the art classes will travel to Chicago Oct. 27 for a one day field trip. The Chicago Art Institute will be the main point of focus for the art apprec. and drawing classes of the college.

other points of interest on the itinerary include the controver­sial Picasso sculpture in the Civic Center and a trip to a newly opened pop art gallery on the near north side.

The classes expect to leave the campus about 9 a.m. and should return about 7 p.m.

• true. He was chosen Ferris' most valuable player in 1966 and also elected to the college allstate team that same year. Students don't despair maybe we can get a few Green Bay Pack­ers to enroll before the game.

This is Mr. Rivers first year in teaching and SMC seems to be living up to his expectations. He likes the informal relation­ship between student and teach­er and he feels the students at SMC act more like adults than at most community colleges. Mr. Rivers feels SMC is pro­gressing along good lines and he is proud to be a part of the school, to help it grow and to grow with it. He hopes the young people feel proud to have such a good school in their com­munity and he feels the students and parents should take an ac­tive part in the affairs of the school to help it grow.

Nepstad heads money aid

Dr. Newport, Dean of Stu­dents, has assigned financial aid responsibility to Mr. Donald Nepstad, psychology and so­ciology instructor.

Financial aid simply means help in securing money to get

scholarships, students who wish to obtain scholarships, students who need loans, and students who have questions about schol­arship assistance at colleges . they will be transferring to, should talk with Mr. Nepstad in his office, 316F.
