thoughts of SMC, Dean Cansfield said he was very interested in our new college and very impressed with our campus. He recently held a meeting with the entire faculty and administrators to introduce himself.
We are confident that Dean Cansfield will function in his new position to the best of his capabilities, as his background of working with and assisting high school and college students will enable him.
Dean Jack Cansfield and sophomore Terry Harris confer over a catalog. Dean Cansfield's appointment as Dean of Students was approved recently by the Board of Trustees. He fills the vacancy created in December by the resignation of Donald Newport.
THE SOU 'WESTER Vol. 2, No. 8 SOUTHWESTERN MICHIGAN COLLEGE, DOWAGIAC, January 22, 1968
Freshman iniured in campus auto mishap ....................................
W auld you believe? The outlook isn't brilliant At SMC this week; The students are trying to break A five-month losing streak. They crammed and crammed and crammed And then they crammed some more; ' But it wasn't quite enough For what they have in store.
(We interrupt this article to bring you a special news bulletin from the Sou'wester news room: The SMC library has been swamped by frantic students in a last-ditch effort to escape annihilation at the hands ofthe SMC faculty. There is reportedly no vacant chair in the entire library. The librarians are pleading with the students to take pity of them and slow down a bit. Have mercy, mellow ones! - And now back to our regularly-scheduled article.) Now even though the mercury Has dipped to ten below, The students are working up a sweat Over facts they do not know.
(Bulletin: The vending machines in the Student Commons are suffering a major economic setback, as the usually bustling Commons is being boycotted by the entire student body. Is SMC to suffer economic collapse because its citizens are being overtaxed?) "Procrastination never pays," Quoth Mr. G., Amen But next semester, wait and see, They'll do it all again. They vow they'll study hard this time And work their fingers to the knuckle. But come Term 2 and where are they? Why, playing euchre and pinochle. The students are back to par As the cycle begins anew; And when the week of finals comes, The A's will be too few. Oh, somewhere the sun is shining, And somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Dowagiac, The students have struck out!
..............................................
Barbara Sherbino was injured in an accident January 10 at 1 p.m. when she failed to yield the right of way to a car driven by Sharon Poulson. The car driven by Sherbino had stopped at the exit of parking lot A and then proceeded into the path of the other vehicle.
Miss Sherbino reports that she was waiting for a car opposite her in parking lot B to turn east. When this car driven by Al Slaughter failed to turn, Miss Sherbino pulled out onto the college road, failing to see the oncoming Poulson car.
Miss Sherbino is a freshman from Niles, and Miss Poulson is a freshman from Paw Paw.
At impact Miss Sherbino was knocked from her car, and suffered multiple bruses to her head, neck, and knee.
Witnesses to the accident quickly summoned an ambulance, and then attempted to make Miss Sherbino as comfortable as possible until aid arrived. Shortly, students from the college's Practical Nursing class aided in comforting Miss Sherbino. She was later taken to Lee Memorial Hospital for observation and was released January 13.
Tom Brucks, ambulance attendent and also a student at Southwestern, happened upon the scene of the accident and aided in taking Miss Sherbino to the hospital. He later remarked "I was verr much impressed by the service offered the girl by the students and nurses."
The sheriff's office reported that no tickets were issued.
Yearbook reports progress The yearbook staff has now
completed the first step in the production of the 1968 "Spectrum." Chiefly through the efforts of the "Spectrum" business manager, John Kaniuga, sufficient funds have been raised to improve and enlarge the yearbook. The '68 "Spectrum" will have 46 additional pages and will feature color, a more complete coverage of SMC activities and clubs, and changes in the organization of the book.
To insure adequate and inter-
esting coverage, all club presidents should be sure to inform either the editor, Carol McKenzie, or the adviser, Mr. David Lightfoot, of all important club activities they wish to appear in the yearbook. Clubs must be officially recognized by February 1, 1968, to be covered by the yearbook. To become officially recognized, a club must fill out a Club Recognition Form, available at Mr. Doyle's office, and submit it to the Student Senate for approval.
The '68 Spectrum will be
published in August, 1968. This is being done so that .spring activities and graduation can be included in the book. Therefore to receive a. copy of th~ Spectrum, students must purchase a subscription before the sprl.ng semester ends. The "Spectrum" sells for $4., with a fifty-cent handling charge if the subscriber wishes to have the volume mailed to him. Subscrip. tions are available from Barb Berg, Linda Romig, Bob Pompey, John Haas, John Kaniuga, Liz Smith, and Carol McKenzie.
2 THE SOU'WESTER, January 22, 1968
Editorial:
A Continuing Salute Who said, "The Sou'wester spends too much time
knocking the students here?" We just did! . Everyone knows it is a tenet of journalism that un
pleasant ftf?rns make news and good ones do not. While trying to be "good" journalists, we have often become dogmatic in adhering to this code. Consequently, we have lost sight of the truly hard-working student who does his best for Southwestern.
In hopes of rectifying this mistake we will, in each issue, salute a student who we feel exhibits diligence and ambition. These students deserve just as much recognition as the "swearers" and "fire truck burners.''
The recent appointment of eight Southwestern students for Who's Who Among Students In American Junior Colleges is a recent case in point. After all, if a national organization can recognize some of the students here, why shouldn't their newspaper?
To the Editor:
Letters to the Editor you afraid to admit it." I am not afraid to sign my name to any article I have written. For the unfortunate students who felt I was ashamed of my name, it's
I wrote an article for the -view page last month and by fault of the publisher my name and Dian Brooks' remained unpublished. I received very harsh criticism for this error from some students. They felt that because our names were not below our articles, we were ashamed of what we said. One person's words were, ''If you believe you're right why are

The Bible, or how John
Huston saved Hollywood
By PAUL HANSON
Any movie based on a wellknown book already has one strike against it: ''The Bible" had two. I venture to say that few members of the audience were surprised when Eve was created from A darn's rib. Some wonderful photography helped prevent boredom in this sequence. Of course it didn't hurt that Adam and Eve were as naked as the day they were born.
The Ark sequence was interesting since I have always wolldered how Noah and his brood felt on that 960 hour journey. But never for onemoment did I fear that they would not land safely on Mount Ararat. I was rather disappointed when they did. This sequence was the most interesting, and it lasted the longest of the film. Huston's original plans were to put the entire Bible on film. But this notion was slightly amended when he ran into scenes like the ark. For those who are keeping score, he succeeded in fUming only one half of one of the sixty-six books of the Bible. This l/132 of the whole took nearly four hours.

history featured Gallery exhibit
From January 2 to January 19 the SMC art gallery featured an exhibition of paintings presented by the Michigan Bell Telephone Company. The paintings were commissioned by the telephone company to recreate some of the significant events in the rich and colorful history of Michigan. Robert A. Thorn from · Birmingham, Michigan, was the artist selected to portray these events. He was assisted by the historian, Professor F. Clever Bald from the
University of Michigan. The paintings are designed to
portray a pictorial history of Michigan. The first of the series of 26 works depicts several mastodons which entered Michigan in about 10,000 B.C. after the last of the four great glaciers had retreated to the North.
_The subject matter of the next 25 paintings progresses through Michigan's past and includes pictures of Michigan Indians, the massacre at M 1chilirnackinac, the Detroit fire of 1805,

the Lewis Cass expedition, the discovery of important Michigan resources, the first capital building at Lansing, the world seaport of Detroit, and other scenes from past as well as contemporary Michigan. The exhibition is a continuing series and other works will be add~d to the collection to keep it updated.
The works are distributed free of charge by the Michig a n Historical Commission through the John M. Munson
Music Box By Norm Meiser
The Doors are deflnltely a psychedelic rock group. I admit that their sound is good and their instruments mesh quite well together which relays somewhat of an adventure in listening. However, after seeing them on the Jonathan Winter' s Show and what I have heard about the QQQrs, I consider them as one of the "sick· edelic" groups. Their showmanship is terrible! The worst display of showmanship is that of the lead singer, Jim Morrison. At the end of the first song he weakly withered to the floor like he couldn't withstand it anymore.
A couple of weeks ago one of Chicago's better known disc j9ckeys revealed that at a recent concert Morrison was yelling and cussing out a fourletter word which was notproper, especially during performance at a public concert. At Cleveland during another stage show, Morrison wiggled and wallowed around on the floor like a groggy grimy snake.
The ~ are nothing else but animals, or as I heard a comedian once say, "They look like Jane, act like Tarzan, and smell like Cheta." However Jim Morrison, the lead singer, has more ugly, regurgitating, ani· mal characteristics than any of the other members of the band.
The Doors music is successfully average and their showmanship is definitely poor, which means they comprise a group of drugged, distorted, vacuous, vegetables.
Michigan Historical Fund. Some of the works included in the exhibition have been shown at several important events, including the 1967 Canadian Exposition.

If Southwestern had an all star band, this would be it. The boys all play in addition to full-time studies. Bruce Pipke, Mike Whelan, Mike Smith, Val Dicerto, and Randy Miller are waiting for their amps while the girls, Shirley Wolfe, Peggy Hess, Ann Verbeckmoes, Eyelyn Denz, and Kimi Koga, are waiting for a dance.
Five SMCers claim band m em bersh ip
Gone are the days when being In a band meant marching in parades or playing In concert on Sundays. Gone also are the swing bands of the Thirties In which the biggest sound came from the horns.
Now the typical band Is made up of four, five, or more players all of the tender age of 18 or 19, and the main sound comes from the guitars and drums. Add to this an organ, harmonica, and one or more singers, and the band Is complete. It seems that no col· lege campus is complete with· out a few of these Individuals, and SMC has flve of them.
Mike Whelan is now with the Delian League. He plays bass guitar and sometimes lead or rhythm guitar. Mike is from Sister Lakes and has played guitar for five of his 18 years. He is a freshman and is enrolled In the liberal arts program.

and formerly of D e t r o i t, specializes In playing lead and rhythm guitar and singing, but he also plays the organ and harmonica. He is more or less of a loner now, but he has been with The lnnsmen from Detroit, and the Bondsmen from Buchanan.
Mike Smith is from Elkhart and is presently with The Counts. Although he is lead singer for the group he also plays lead or · rhythm guitar. He is also a freshman and is 18 years old.
Bruce Pipke is with the Traces of 'lime and is from South Bend. He plays rhythm guitar and sometimes organ or bass guitar. He has played guitar for four years and is 19 years old.
Randy Miller is 19 years old and plays drums with The Counts. He is also from Elkhart and is enrolled in the liberal arts program. He has play. ed drums for three years.
One of the main goals of any group is to cut a record and have it end up a hit. After a group has played at enough places and has become well enough known, they might try to make a record.
SPN's hold varied events By MISS M. MILLER, S.P.N.
As the student nurses got into the full swing of college life, they served as hostesses to the open house of the new Vo-Tech Building. Election of officers of the Student Nurses Assn. were held and results were: President: Miss V. LeRoy; VIce-President: Miss K. Boozer; Secretary: Miss J. Pagels; and Treasurer: Mrs. M. Hunsburger.
A Project taken by the S.N.A. will be the raising of funds to charter a bus for a trip to University of Michigan's hospital upon their Invitation to do so this spring.
For the Christmas holidays, tray favors for the three af· filiated hospitals were made. As other special events occur, the student nurses will be involved in more activities.
As for classes, the S.P.N.'s went into orientation of "OnDuty" clinical training after completing one month lab duty. A special lecture on the new coronary care unit being completed at Memorial Hospital, Dowagiac was given by David L. Comstock, M.D. The students also heard Dr. Comstock lecture about Blood Pressure and the Essentials of Specialized Equipment. Mr. Edw. Darr came to the Nursing Department and gave a lecture on the ear and abnormalities . associated with the hearing mechanism. Mr. Darr is of Darr & Assc. which perform work in the fields of hearing and prosthetic hearIng.
A surprise luncheon was given for Mrs. E. Rivers, R.N. on her birthday. The food was prepared by the students; a well balanced meal was served. Mrs. Rivers is the Nutrition Instructor.
For Christmas, the S.P.N's and the Faculty of the Applied Sciences had luncheon the 20th of December. The buffet was prepared by the nursing instructors and those that attended the ' affair were very thankful to be invited.
As the end of the semester ends soon; great anticipation of the results of exams. For a student nurse this is the one

Student Salute: Linda Romig
Miss Linda Romig, a sopho· more, is a girl whose enthusiasm, vitaltiy, and determination have contributed greatly io SMC. In addition to maintain· ing an impressive Grade Point Average, Linda's V"~ied inter· ests have led her to become an integral part of many ac. tivities at Southwestern.
As a freshman, Linda was secretary of the Student Ad· visory Council. In this way, she helped 1n intiatlng many of SMC' s first student policies and in setting up the student Government. Currently, Linda is serving as secr etary of the Young Republican club, activi· ties editor of the '68 Spectrum and secretary to the nursing staff. Linda's primary concern, howevar, centers around her present office as Vlce-Presi· dent of the Student Government.
