Page 4 Letter To The Editor Dear Editor, In order to recognize those students who have contributed the most to improving South eastern Community College I suggest that each year two students be given honorable men- ion by the President oi the col lege at the graduation exercises.. I further recommend that an entry be made on each student’s college record identifying him or her as the recipient of this award. In my opinion this would create more interest among the student body. The least it could do would be to recognize those two stu dents who deserve honorable mention. Each member of the adminis tration and the faculty would have the opportunity to nominate one student. All nominees would be voted on by the administration and the faculty. This process of selection woiQd help to prevent this program from becoming a popularity contest among the stu dent body. Sincerely, William Horne Dear Editor, Debra Dene Barnes, Miss America of 1968 in my opinion reflects in an eloquent manner, America’s best. She is fully qualified to represent the young ladies of this great country. I am very grateful for having the opportunity to be among the many citizens of this area who got to know her better. Some how this short acquaintance has renewed my faith in the Ameri can people and our way of life. The selection of Miss Barnes to represent the ideal young ladles of our land reflects credit upon those judges and all others who participated in the Miss America Pageant. She Is truly our ideal. . A fter hearing and reading about so many demonstrations, riots, and draft card burnings it was a pleasure and a refreshing mo ment in our local history to have Miss Barnes here for a while. In my opinion Horace Whit ley, mayor of Whitevllle ex pressed best the feeling of most citizens in this area when he said “this key that I present to you, . .not only opens the door of our city but also to our hearts.” Sincerely William Horne Dear Editor: I would like to take this oppor tunity to congratulate our stu dents on their fine sunmrf af SCC's first two athletic events tnis year. Compared to last year, it was outstanding! My •basketball players had nothing but praise for fine support given them. The boys told me that it certainly was great to play before a crowd that acted as if It really did care whether we won or lost, I hope you, the students, will continue to show the spirit and enthusiasm that was shown in the first soccer and basketball games. Sincerely, Coach Nance ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦•% t The Rams' ^ LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS 0 m AMP m \.^CXOI?e.5 A1AY AMNUTE ok two fast TKe hJOOh/ Our Boys In Vietnam Somewhere in a deserted, dark, clammy place Is a boy who once thought of lace Sitting around camp polishing boots Thinking of home when he wore his Sunday suit Reading a letter from his wife to be And praying that she he soon will see Tramping through muddy swamps and rice fields And thinking of Mom and all those home cooked meals Talking with your friend when he gets struck in the head And then suddenly realizing that he is dead Crawling and praying in the ditches of Vietnam Hoping you’ll be dead before captured by Viet-Cong These are the many hardships suffered by our boys They learn by this time that they are not playing with toys Being mature and acdepting these problem:; With everyone’s help we might just solve them The Other Side For Women Only By Richard Hayes Editorials Phi Theta Kappa In Trouble? Phi Theta Kappa is suffering from the same problem that it had last year—lack of support. Recently an initia tion was planned. Not one guest put in an appearance. Due to this lack of enthusiasm, the initiation was put orr. This year the members of Phi Theta Kappa are greatly concerned about this problem. Omicron Mu Chapter of see has accept^ a bid to host the State Convention this year Approximately 15 junior colleges are expected to send delegates. Under these circumstances, the mem bers’ concern is justified. The chapter members took on this project because they wanted to. It is being done for the benefit of SCC and as a service to fellow Phi Theta Kappa Chapters. South eastern will receive much publicity because of this event. We of Phi Theta Kappa fear that this publicity niay not be good. If this convention is supported by SCC like the chapter is, Phi Theta Kappa is in trouble! Phi Theta Kappa presentely his six members. It is logical that we will need the support and help of our fel low students, the faculty, and administration. Will we get it Some faculty members and Mr. Comer have volun teered their services but what about the students. For instance, the barbeque held on Oct. 25 was very disap- DOinting . The majority of the money made cme from . the faculty not the students. This was planned for your benefit as well as ours. At present Phi Theta Kappa has $100 in the treasury. Approximately $500 will be needed for this convention. The other $400 needed must come from activities the club sponsors at the college. This convention will be as successful as Southeastern makes it. A lot of work will go into tius endeavor. Southeastern will reap the benefits of this project for years to come. Scholasticism should be important to any college. Let’s stop this lack of enthusiasm and get the ball rolhng for SCC’s Phi Theta Kappa. The members are giving their time to making this convention very beneficial to SCC How about giving them a little of your time and support by making their fund raising activities success ful? Support Phi Theta Kappa! Phi Theta Kappa sup ports SCC and its aims! Dear Sam Slanders, I am very i4)set about my daughter. She lets strange men come to her apartment, even though she knows things like that upset me. What can I have her do to ease my mind? Mom Dear Mom, Have her go to his apartment next time. Then let his mother worry. Dear Sam Slanders, I'm flunking out because I can not think of anything but girls. I can’t get my mind off of them. How can I stay in college with this problem? • worried Students Dear Stud, Change your major to mathe matics. you must have a great aptitude for figures. Few Seem Interested In Grasping Knowledge Congratulations Students! Congratulations to the students of SCC! The wonder ful attendance at the Bencini-Lee concert was very com mendable. It proved that SCC has adopted a new “school spirt” for the coming academic year. The reception following the concert was also well at tended. This was a wonderful opportunity for students, faculty, and the general public to meet the performing artists personally. All who attended were very pleased with the reception. Bencini and Lee were very impressed by the students that they met. The warm reception that they received was very heart-warming to the duo pianists. To those of you who attended the concert-thanks and congratulations from the Student Government Associa tion, Fine Arts Committee, and all others who made this concert possible. We sincerely hope to see the rest of the student body at the next concert on February 7. You may be missing more than you realize! Ask those who attended the Bencini-Lee concert and reception! The attendence at this concert has shown what South- eastern’s students can do when they want to. It is sin cerely hoped that this was just the beginning of a “year of support” for all of SCC’s student activities. ♦ ♦ 4k i:- Horn Edltor-ln-Chlef . . .

To its adherents, it offers power and freedom, and hope. But it may give growing imcertainty, fear, and chaos. It can destroy as surely as an M-1, explode the mind, confront the ego with its own aimlessness. . , , , x ^ ^ In knowledge, there is the power to heal or devastate to comfort or to maim. Through knowled^ we may complete the perfection of man, or glaze the suiroce of Earth with death. But these are only the uses of knowledge, its pro duct in pragmatic terms. , , , j • In search of knowledge, Descarte stayed thrw da>^ m an oven, Faustus gave his soul to the devil. Men have starved, men have gone mad on the trail of Imowledge. This same commodity is so easily acquired on a college campus, yet so few students seem interest^ in grasping for it. Immune to its lure, they attend classes, receive grades, study and sometimes even learn, but they are un aware of the power, danger, and beauty of what they are assimilating. Groaning, they memorize their texts. Yawning, they accept the most precious treasure of man .... Paul Allen Emblem-Where Are You Southeastern has begun its third year of operatwn without an official school emblem! Concern over this problem has been expressed recently. The time has come for Southeastem’s students to make a decision as to what tvpe of emblem they desire. Every college should have an official emblem and slo gan. Why doesn’t SCC have them? No one has taken the time to design an emblem or think up a ^ogan. Southeastern has enough talented people who could easi ly undertake this project. The time has come for this to be done; SCC should not go through another year with out an emblem or slogan! The Rams’ Horn staff extends an invitation to all stu dents of see to submit ideas for a slogan and designs for nn emblem. It would be nice to have a school seal on thn«!e degrees “future graduates of SCC”! Our college is in desnerate need of your help in this matter! All those of you who have ideas PLEASE HELP!
