INew Policy
In an effort to publish all the
happenings on campus of
student interest and concern, the
Collegiate is requesting that
each organization elect a
representative to the Collegiate
staff. Please elect one member
of your organization to report
any activities that you would like
published and think are of
student concern. We are doing
this to element any situations in
which your organization has
participated or held some ac
tivity that you feel should be
published but is not because the
staff members have not heard or
been informed about it. The
stand taken is that the respon
sibility of getting articles
concerning your organization
turned into the paper for
publication is left up to you.
Therefore, please elect a
reliable member to represent
your organization and make
your achievements known to us.
New Faculty
One of the new professors this
year at A.C., is Mr. Oertling. Mr.
Oertling is originally from New
Orleans and attended college at
LSU at New Orleans. He did his
graduate work at the University
of Michigan and has an MA in
scene design and a BA in acting.
Mr. Oertling learned on AC
through Mr. Crouch while
working with him at the Lost
Colony on the Outer Banks of
North Carolina. Mr. Crouch will
only be absent for one year to
continue his studies and Mr.
Oertling is filling in for him this
year. After Mr. Oertling finishes
here he said that he has no
definite plans as of yet, but he
would like to pursue a
professional theater career in
North Carolina because North
Carolina is one of the best states
for theater work.

EditorComment
When I was elected editor of your newspaper last
year, many students approached me with several
requests for improvements in the Collegiate. I looked
into these requests and have found many reasons for
their absence.
An example was the type of paper used for the
newspaper. Personally I was ready to switch to
newsprint until I found that newsprint for our size copy
is unattainable and does not take to an offset press. So
why not have a larger paper? We do have a limited
budget. Presently one four-page issue of the Collegiate
will cost $192. Besides this factor, there is another factor
even larger. As I told the freshmen at orientation, I
would like to involve all 1,750 students in the Collegiate,
but a staff of five students cannot express the ideas and
views of 1,750 students.
That is where the majority of organizations stand on
campus. Everyone is willing to give an opinion but not
many are willing to work for the changes for which their
opinion calls. If you have an opinion or idea for change, I
will gladly work on it with you. We have all heard the
saying that ‘anything worth changing is worth working
for’. That’s all that I am asking.

(Continued From Page One)
students will receive grants
averaging $500. By law, full-time
undergraduate students are
eligible to receive up to $1,500 a
year with reduced amounts
available to half-time students.
States have wide latitude in
determining which students and
institutions will be eligible to
participate. However, the State
definitions of “substantial
financial need” for student
eligibility are subject to annual
approval by the U.S. Com
missioner of Education. ^
Each state is required to
designate a single agency to
manage the SSIG program.
Since there are no automatic
funding renewals, applications
will be updated on a yearly
basis.
The Federal funding an
nounced today includes awards
to 41 States with student
assistance programs already in
operation and reserved awards
to nine additional States, con
tingent upon their meeting all
legal qualification requirements
by March 31, 1975.
Nearly $1 million of the total
SSIG appropriation is available
for later reallotment to States
which have qualified for the
funds. This is the amount that
has been relinquished by seven
States and territories which
either do not plan to participate
in the program during the
current year, or could not
provide matching funds for their
basic allotments.
as follows:
A( Excellence in teaching.
The primary purpose of the
award is to reward and en
courage good teaching.
b) Concern for Students. The
good teacher does have a
genuine concern for the students
he teaches.
c) A continuing interest in
scholarship.
d) Good preparation. This
means that, in most instances
though perhaps not in all, the
recipient will hold the terminal
degree appropriate to his own
field.
e) Involvement in the life of
the college and community.

Nixon Is Gone
Inflation Is Not
Richard Nixon is gone. Gone, too, supposedly, arethf
corrupt policies and graft once a part of the execute
branch of government. Gerald Ford is the head of thi'
ship of state now. Once again, the press does not haw
Dick Nixon to kick around. The stories will now be or
Ford’s economic summit and Kissinger’s Cyprian af
fairs.
But Ford and Kissinger are of secondary nature
here. There remains an unanswered question: Should
Nixon be further prosectued? Was his resignatinn
punishment enough?
No doubt Nixon was a shrewd politician. Also without
doubt, there was an air of corruption in his ad
ministration, dating back as far as 1972. Of course
Nixon is to be held responsible for the actions of his
subordinates. His re-election was very much tarnished
by the ungoverned actions of Haldeman and Erlichraan.
However, Nixon accomplished a few good things in
his rule, also. For one thing, he kept most of the male
members of this college’s classes of ’76 and ’77 out of
Viet Nam. Through Nixon’s expertice in foreign affairs
the United States is beginning to open trade and travel
relations with the Communist nations. He made a start,
small indeed, on cleaning up the environment. His
economic policies were not effective, yet he made the
best effort at controlling the inflationary trends since
the depression.
Admittedly, Nixon wasn’t the best domestic
president this nation ever had, but now that he is out of
office, should he be prosecuted? When the 1975 en
cyclopedias come out, they will read, “Richard M.
Nixon, 37th president of the United States. He was the
only man ever to resign as President of the United
States ...” Is this not enough? Already Nixon owes a
tremendous amount of back taxes (does he not?). His
very name will be abused for generations to come. No
one will remember he got good ole USA out of Viet Nam,
when John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson could not.
All around the nation, people are praising the Con
stitution for starting the impeachment process
automatically. But will someone please cut it off? Sure,
the Congress voted to end the proceedings, but the
people of this nation are still after him. Even the press
has ended its assault on Nixon, but the people are blood
thirsty.
What good can come out of further pursuit of justice?
Taxes will leave Nixon in terrible financial state. He
already has a marred Presidential record. Will sending
him to prison do any good? Will it buy the groceries, will
it pay the faculty’s salary? Will it make the people of
this state feel better to know the man is behind bars?
What thanks is this for at least four years of noble work?
The people have seen Richard Nixon humble himself
and leave the scene to Gerald Ford. Maybe, just maybe,
if everyone would leave Nixon to his thoughts, the nation
could get together and defeat the real domestic issue of
inflation.
It Looks Like A New Ball Game
