Editorials Model UN Goes Racism ? To Philadelphia Does S.C.C. have a racial problem? That’s a question not many students or teachers here at S.C.C. think about. I imagine the reason or reason(s) we seldom think of Racism here is because it simply just doesn’t exist, and if it does it’s hidden very well. Since I’ve been a student at S.C.C. there have been no violent acts of racism to the best of my knowledge. Students here are mainly concerned with getting an education. Everyone is just too busy achieving an education, so a childish thing such as racism doesn’t have time to be placed in the minds and hearts of S.C.C. students. So my words to the students: Keep up the good work, and let nothing interefere with your desires for an education. By: James “Perbie” Pierce To Eat or Not To Eat Fellow students of S.C.C. If you come to college with the idea of eating on the college campus, you are out of luck. The people who work in the lounge have been told not to change big bills. So if you come with only a five dollar bill, you will find it hard to eat. This reporter cannot understand this. Not that the workers are to blame; they are only doing their job. The canteen is here to serve us not us to serve them. By not giving change it will only cut down on the already small number of students that eat on the grounds. The Canteen may cost us less up front, but in the long run the students are paying far to much in inconvenience and time to make it justified. This reporter does not wish to sound irrational, but everyone doesn’t come to college with a billfold full of one’s and a pocket full of change. Terrence Carr Your Move! The see chess club is sponsored by Walter Mc Daniels. It consists of thirteen members. When asked about the future of the chess club, McDaniels said, “There is no limit on membership. Anyone can join, you don’t have to know how to play chess to join. We hold tutor classes in thelou geat each club meeting. We are currently planning t(> have a chess tournament each quarter. The winner will be given an attractive plaque.” All insterestod persons please contact Walter McDaniels, or a member of the SCC chess club. Neil Carter By: Ramona Hendon On November 4th through the 7th, a delegation from Southeastern Community College attended the Annual Model United Nations Conference at the University of Penn sylvania. The committee consisted of Mr. Alan Brownlee, Gail Stevens, Carolyn Davis, Michelle Conert, Kim Lanier, Kathy Mercer, and Walter Clark, and was fte only community college represented among 40-50 delegations, which in cluded such prestigous schools as Princeton, the University of Penn sylvania, Duquesne University, Georgetown University, and Smith College. The SCC delegation represented Belgium on 3 committees: the Economic and Social Council; the Political and Security Council; and the Legal Council. Within each committee certain topics were debated depending upon the area in question. Within the Economic and Social Council the primary subject was the Tran snational Corporation; hov.'ever the SCC delegation presented a resolution concerning the Energy Crisis, which was defeated by a mere one vote. The Political and Security Council’s at tention focused mainly upon the Palestinian Issue, while the Legal Council concentrated upon Human Rights and Armed Conflicts, and Terrorism. Our representatives put forth resolutions to each of the latter two committees; the resolutions were passed on to the plenary body, but were never brought to a vote. A definite indication of the success of the trip was the warm invitations for future participation in various functions. East Carolina University urged the SCC delegation to take part in their Model Security Council in March of this year, and, of course, plans are definitely being made to attend the Model UN which will be held in Philadelphia again next year. I’m sure I speak for the entire student body, faculty and staff of SCC, as well as myself, in extending my warm Bernard Brown Gets Position In Montana The odds against rolling a 12 and against rolling a 2 at dice are each 35 to 1. P'JNNS I The ancient Greeks believed the first lizard was a young man who dared to laugh at a goddess. Mr. Bernard Brown, the instructor of Forestry and Outdoor Recreation at SCC since August of 1973, is finishing up this teaching duties here this month. Before coming to this area, Bernard (he prefers that his students and friends use his first name) lived and taught in Southern Illinois University as a graduate research assistant in the department of Forestry. Bernard has chosen his future residence to be somewhere on the Flathead Indian Reser vation in Ronan, Mon tana . That area is a choice and unspoiled spot for nature lovers. He will be employed as a timber appraiser for the Bureau of Indian Affaire. The construction of the Bernard Brown Confidence Course was innitiated by the out- sdoorsman and is located behind the tennis courts on campus. It was designed to be a series of maneuvers such as scaling a 12V2 foot wall, a crawl through a collap sible birth canal, and a 250 foot zip wire slide. Mr. Brown leaves SCC with well wishes and fond memories, saying that he was enlightened and inspired by Columbus County’s social and educational conditions. Ricky Inman thanks and congratulations to Mr. Brownlee and the par ticipating students for working such long and difficult hours in order to achieve their success, and to wish them the very best of luck in all future en deavors. Mr. Brownlee would also like to express his appreciation to the SGA for their support, and also to the students, faculty and staff for their cooperation during the recent bake sales. Cookout Hotdogs, hotdogs, and more hotdogs! On December ninth the S.G.A. gave another hotdog roast. Due to the unpr^ictable weather of D^ember, a very cold and damp day was in order. Nevertheless, the students of S.C.C. came out in large numbers. Out of six hundred hotdogs, (Kily nine were left. Most of the eating was done on the inside, but this did not cut down on the fun. Leroy Gause, one of the members of the S.G.A., provided the students with a Disco. As Bob Priest and Fannie Moore slaved over the hotdogs, Jeannie Yarboro worked with the very cold drinks. There has been a hotdog roast at the start of each new quarter. After this quarter I am sure there viill be another one. The weather is sure to be better during the next cookout. So make plans to come out. Everything is free, all you need to do is, come and have FUN. Terrence Can- Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there. Any man accused of a crime these days needs a lawyer to advise him of his rights — especially if he’s guilty. Much knocking is done by those who don’t know how to ring the bell.
