THE CLARION Southeastern Community College May 1966 Page Two Zeller Gives Candid View Of First Year At SCC Gary Zeller, Humanities in structor at SCC will be leaving in June of this year. Here are some of his comments and opinions concerning the year he has spent here. Q. Why have you decided to leave SCC? A. There comes a time In everyone’s life for a change or a chance to better himself. I feel that this time has come for me. After a few weeks vacation with friends in Arkansas and a short visit at home in Pennsylvania, I plan to work on a Ph.D. inSyste- metlc Muciscology at the Uni versity of Wisconsin. After this, I plan to teach. Q. Do you feel that you have benefitted from your year here, A, Yes, I do. Anyone who has an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new Institution is very lucky. This Is a once in a lifetime chance. You start with nothing and watch growth and im provements take place. Some times they are so slow that you can’t see them. Q. What do you feel is im portant In a student if he wants to really get ahead in school? A. Students should get ex cited about somathing,.. a book, an idea, or almost anything. That’s what is most lacking here. Q. What is your overall atti tude concerning the students at SCC? A, They are terribly unsophis ticated. Most of them don’t have any sense of what it moans to be a responsible college student. They think they’re still In high school where they got through each grade by merely occupying a seat for twelve years. Q. And you attitude toward the faculty? A. Tne faculty here Is the finest group I’ve ever worked with In my life. I respect them all for their intellectual capa bilities and for the way they’ve responded to trying situations that are always numerous In a first year school. Q. Let’s not leave out the administration. Do you have any thing to say here? A. The administration has been as cooperative as possible. Some of the problems that we blame on them are really problems that see Enrollment To Double In ‘66’ Gary Zeller, professor of humanities, has resigned from the faculty in order to work on a Phd at the University of Wis consin. must be worked out with time. As with all new schools, we are experiencing “growing pains”. Q. How about a short state ment concerning your philosophy of life? A. Well. . .1 guess that I’d say-don’t ever do anything that you don’t want to do, or that you don’t enjoy doing. Q. Is there anything else you’d like to say that we haven’t covered? A. I have great faith in the col lege. It already has made a great influence in the area. I very much hate to leave because of friends I’ve made. Climivte-wise, it’s great here. The nearness of the beaches adds to Its charm. The music in this part of the state could stand a great deal of improvement. Already there is a hard-working core of workers In Whiteville who make up the Fine Arts Committee. They are working to Improve all of the cultural fields. I feel that public schools, grade 1-6, will soon have a comprehensive music pro gram with music in the classroom dally. Selective (Oon.tinued From Fag’s 1) will be allowed to take it only once. He must score 70 or bet ter for the test score to be con sidered for draft deferment. If he scores less than 70 he is con sidered as eligible for the draft. A freshman in the upper half of his class and a sophomore in the upper 2/3 of his class may be deferred regardless of the test score. For a freshman in the lower half of his class and a sophomore in the lower 1/3 of his class, however, the test score is what 'wdll determine whether or not he will be deferred. Grigsby Receives NSF Math Award Charles E. Grigsby, math pro fessor at Southeastern has re ceived a National Science Foun dation award to study at the University of Georgia this sum mer. He, along with twenty-five other professors in the nation, was selected for this study, Mr. Grigsby will receive fifteen quarter hours g^raduate credit upon completion of this course. The study will include several maths which will be centered around calculus. SOUTHEASTERN POMMUNITY COLLEGE mporary location ■i Physical science professor Sid Smith University of Georgia. will study next year at the Smith To Earn Phd At Ga. Opportunity To Form Clubs Ross Exhibits 9 Paintings At Show In Jacksonville “The estimated enrollment for Southeastern next year Is five hundred full-time students and two hundred part-time students,” said Dr, Warren Land, President of the College, “In order to accom-nodate this Increase, the faculty will have to be doubled.” Because we are In a temporary location and the room here Is limited, many problems are arising and will continue to do so, until we move to the new campus. Already changes are being made so that a few of the problems can be avoided. The library will be moved over to the student lounge and the PML will be moved to where the present library is now located. The PMli building will be used for part of the nursing program beginning here next year. Other difficulties are parking and the arrangement of class schedules. Dr. Land said that there are three possible solutions concerning class scheduling. First, and most advantageous, would be an extension of the school day. Classes would begin at 8:30 and continue until 5:30. Second, is to have more night classes and last is tohaveathird campus. He also mentioned that there may be Saturday classes if conflicts develop. There is no solution, as of yet, for the parking situation at the college. Any one with a workable answer is asked to voice his opinion through the SGA. Mrs. Carla Ross, former SCC student, had nine paintings on exhibit April 30 - May 1 at the Home Federal Savings Art Show, in Jacksonville, North Carolina. They were originals, consisting of still life and abstracts. Carla said that if all her oaint- ings were sold, they would bring about $500.00. She also did portrait work while at the show ing. She has had over eight years of art instruction. Her last year of study was spent at ECC, “I am planning to return to SCC in the fall to continue my studies,” said Carla. She will major in art. Student Lounge Becomes Library In order to better accommodate next year’s increased student en rollment, Southeastern’s library is being moved Into the building presently used as the student lounge. There are now five thousand volumes and a great number of m.agazlnes in the library. An additional ten thousand books are also on order for use next year. “These books will allow the students the opportunity to read the preserved knowledge of man,” said Ray Dunmire, li brarian. At present. Southeastern Com munity College has only one active organization, the student Government Association, but the student body now has an oppor tunity to expand Its Interests through the formation of clubs. In an interview with David Coleman, Vice President of the SGA, the following information was given for club organization. In order to organize a club, students must present a petition slg^ned by fifteen interested per sons and one faculty adviser who will accept responsibility and provide leadership for the club. All petitions for proposed clubs must be in accordance with the constitution of SCCs Student Government Association. “Interference with any regu larly scheduled college functions or classes will not be allowed,” said Coleman. He also indicated that clubs will be under the guidance of the SGA and must conform to the standards set up in Article I, section 7 of the student government constitution. Suggested clubs are photog raphy, literary, dramatics, de bating, Young Christians, sci ence, business, and political. Sidney P. Smith, Physical Sci ence instructor, has resigned from Southeastern Community College, effective June 1, Inorder that he may help compile data on the evaluation of teachers within the state of Georgia. Mr, Smith, with a team of ten professors, will be working on this program sponsored by the Federal Government. The pro gram will be headed by Joseph C. Bledsoe, Professor of Educa tion at the University of Georgia. In return for the research done on this program, Mr, Smith will receive his Ph. D. plus a grant of $4,400. Ml*. Sm.'th expressed that he had enjoyed working with the administration and the students at S.C.C. and that he would miss his friends. He feels that a Ph. D. Is needed in order that he may be a better instructor. His wife, Patty Smith, plans to continue teaching business at S.C.C. next year. Many of Mr. Smith’s students have expressed that he has been an encouragement to them. Steve Fonvielle summarized their ideas when he said, “By being under Mr. Smith’s instruction, I have been able to grasp rays of hope, and have come to know, to feel, and to see in action, those high and lasting qualities that best represent a person of integrity and a heart of gold.” Exam Schedule THURSDAY, MAY 19 9:00-11:00 EH 103 (Gym) Pearson EH 103 (201) McCraw T-BUS 371 (Aud) Danmire ELN 124V (MB)Muslck AUTO 123V (MB) Mercer 1:00- 3:00 T-BUS 315 (205) P.

The new library will be larger and have more space for tables and new equipment such as film pro jectors, records, and closed service. The library is now in the pro cess of changing from the Dewey D'3cim;il system to the Library of Congress system. Mr. Dun- mire feels that this new system will enable the students to find the books they wish without any trouble. “Finding material is one of the greatest difficulties of col lege students,” said Mr. Dun- mire. He feels that students should do a great deal of research on their own, and that a library should be able to furnish them with their needed materials, “The library is an Important asset to education, and education is the greatest gift for achieving a fulfilling life,” he added. Final exams for nl^t classes will be held on the last class meeting during the week beginning Monday, May 23, Adult Education Open To Students Did you know that any student at Southeastern is eligible to enroll in an Adult Education class? As students of SCC you meet all the eligibility requirements to enroll in any General Adult Education class, "That’s nice,” you say, “but what can I get out of such a class?” Well, that’s up to you. You may enroll in any of the courses now in session or any that will be started — or, and this is perhaps more Im portant to us as students — if^ could get ten people Interested in attending a course either at night or during the day, in almost any subject area, we can have an organized class or a nine hour sem.'.nar. For example, suppose you could get ten people intere^ed in attending a course in philoso phy or psychology or just plain discussion groups, or maybe graphology, or maybe Great Books discussion, or speech - - the subjects may be of your own choosing and are unlimited. The rules that apply to or ganizing a General Adult class for the public in general also apply to us. Think about it. Perhaps we can enter Into some general Information type or en- rlchmsnt classes In General Adult Education. Tom Barrett Director of Adult Education at SCC, Is your contact for in formation in this area.
