tions. The Swingers will perform

such songs as "Greenback Dollar," " M a m e , " and "Walk Right In."

Admission is free to all.

Coin-Run Zerox To Be In Library

To help students prepare research material, a Zerox coin-operated copy machine will be installed in the library. Dr. Richard Morley, president of the college, expgcts the machine to arrive next week.

Rental for the machine is approximately 85 dollars per month. The college expects to meet this cost from the students who pay 10 cents per copy.

John Crisman, commissioner of Student Welfare, suggested the idea of such a machine to Dr. Morley during a meeting

of the President's Think-Tank Committee on Friday, March 15.

Approving of the idea. Dr. Morley brought the suggestion before the Deans' Council on the following T u e s d a y . The Council recommended installing the machine.

Budgets To Be Determined

FSU's Gpkana To Perform By New Percentage System Florida State University's fa

Spoifeored by t h e Lyceum Commission of Gulf Coast's Stu

Although the gymkana provides a host of acts, the basic purpose of the annual show is to provide physical education Students an opportunity to ex-

(See GYMKANA, Page 6)

Budget requests for the 1969-70 school year are now being reviewed.

The only request that has been approved is that of the athletics department. They will receive 33 per cent of the $44,362 total, or about $14,639.

Dan Smith, student activities director, said, "We are trying to establish a percentage system rather than a system based

primarily on the reaction of SGA to particular budget proposals. Each group will be assigned a percentage according to the percentage received last year and the job done with respect to the college as a whole."

Money for the budget is taken from student matriculation fees (15 per cent of the total fees) and various events such as basketball games.

Budget requests are submitted to SGA. The SGA president trims the requests to fit one budget. His recommendations are then reviewed by the SGA Senate and the Dean's Council.

John Johnson, SGA president, said, " I know cuts are made that the people who made the requests^ don't feel shoidd be made, but since the leqaeds

European Tourers To Carry World Lit College Credit

A "Meet The People" educational travel program designed for Panama Citians who want to take a three-week jaunt to Burope this summer received added backing recently when college officials announced that college credit could be arranged for students.

Students who want to make the trip and obtain coUegie credit at the same time may do Ko by signing up for English 201, "World Literature," under

James Brooks, chairaian of the College's Language Arts Division.

The course, already offered under the college curriculum, will p r o v i d e three semester hours college credit for those students who desire it.

Brooks, who was named by a Student Government committee as Gulf Coast's "outstanding teacher" last year, is a former air force officer who has spent many years in Europe and who

Efforts To Modify Grievances Taken

Donald Dixon wrote his letter in reply to the Gull's Cry editorial in the March 26 edition. It was in this Point of View that the drafters of a petition which called for the right to discuss pertinent issues in class, were labeled "rebels looking for a cause."

This article suggested that the petition was the result of a few students who accepted rumors as fact and began a crusade for academic freedom.

Although Dixon claims the label "rebels looking for a cause" was "immediately" stuck upon, the petitions's drafters, the editorial was the result of three weeks of research done by three Gull's Cry reporters. These staff members began digging into the academic freedom issue with open minds. Significantly, all three reporters came to the same conclusion.

According to the evidence found by these reporters, teachers are not hindered in their classroom discussions. If they had cared to look, the petition's drafters probably could have found the same evidence.

Instead of researching to find both sides of the teacher crisis, the students mounted up and rode off on a crusade. Because of this eagerness to fight for an issue which they had not studied, the petition's drafters seemed deserving of the label, "rebels looking for a cause."

As Dixon points out, other grievances became attached to the petition crusade. However, the petition itself dealt only with academic freedom; the more legitimate gripes were added on, as politicians say, as "coat tail r iders ." Ironically, these secondary issues seem more vital than the primary one.

Negro history does appear slighted in social science courses. However, this neglected appears due more to a lack of good classroom materials than to any discrimination by college authorities.

According to Robert C. Latham, chairman of the Social Sciences Division, plans for increased discussions on Negro contributions to history and politics are being laid. An entire course in Negro history was considered; but college authorities decided more students would benefit if black history was incorporated into regular social science classes.

One handicap to increase studies of racial problems, says Latham, is that publishers have only recently begun to print textbooks with more discussions of civil rights. Next year, a new textbook will be used in United States history classes. This new book deals more with later civil rights developments and contempora ry Negro problems than the current text does.

Instructors in the social sciences, says Latham, are encouraged to present full discussions on Negro problems. To help plan for future courses, any stucent with suggestions for improving the social sciences is encouraged to talk with Latham.

No one should merely sit back and hope that improvements will be made. Students should inform college authorities of issues which they are vitally interested in. However, crusading for rights which students already have seems to be an unnecessary waste of time and energy.

LETTER TO EDITOR

Student Airs Grievances

By DONALD DIXON

During the last few weeks there has been a great deal of criticism on campus pertaining to a petition that was drawn up and signed by a group of concerned students who felt that the only way to solve our problems at Gulf Coast was to bring them into the open.

Immediately, t h e s e people were labeled as "rebels-looking for a cause" with a small group of allied Negro students who also had similar grievances. This "rebel" tag Is not at all true. These students, who comprise about 10 per cent of the student body, felt that there was a need for change and sought to have these changes brought out Into the open through legal means, a petition.

Pei-haps we Americans have forgotten that this great country

of ours was founded by a so-called bunch of "rebels looking for a course."

The Negro students at Gulf Coast have legistimate gripes which if aren't brought into the opfen. will, in the future, result in more than just a petition or a meeting with the college president. It is time that we as students start taking greater interest in which the student body wants and take these measures into consideration.-

Gulf Coast is a community junior college and the community does have a big hand in it; but we are the students, black and white. We are the ones who attend this college to obtain an education. While in the process of getting an education, we have the right to affirm what we think is right and rebutt what we think is wrong

The first amendment to the

constitution of the US. gives us citizens the right to petition. Whether the petition was based oni rumors or not does not give anyone the right to condemn it as an act of violence.

The teacher crisis was a part of the petition drawn up by the students, but it was just one of the grievances presented by these people. There are many other grievances which relate to discussion of pertinent issues in class. For example, the Negro students feel that Negro history, which has practically been deleted from our text books, should be inserted into class discussions.

Perhaps some good may come out of these expressed grievances. However, are we students merely going to sit back, like v.'e've done in the past, and hope that the outcome will be good?

(j\A[s Cry Sees Dynamic College By RICHARD TONYAN

From the vantage point of a typewriter, it has been fairly easy for the Gull's Cry editor and staff to look out at the changes made during this school year. From last August until this issue, the paper had tried to report and interpret these campus developements to the student body.

These changes have come about in communications, student government, campus activities, and other facets of school life.

Communications, according to such people as the presidentelect of the Student Government Association, are not as effective as they should be. Impro^'ing this situation has been a major project at the school.

Dr. Richard Morley, college president, f o r m e d the President's Think Tank Committee to better communications between student leaders, faculty, and administrators. The committee it made up of the presidents of SGA, Phi Theta Kappa, Sophomore c l a s s , and Freshman class; the editor of the Gull's Cry, five assistant professors, the director of Student Activities, and the director of Public Relations

These people met with Dr. Morley in the Pullman coach once a month. In an unstructured forum, they discussed plans for the college's growth.

^Established means of communications, the Gull's Cry, the Panorama, and the Faculty and Student Criers, have been combined into a single unit, the Communications Center. Temporarily housed In the Business Building, the Center features a new offset press which prints the Criers and other communiques for the campus.

Joining the Communications Center next year in the electronics lab will be WGCC, the campus radio station. Since its first broadcast on Feb. 24, WGCC has presented music and nevs'S to the student body.

To coordinate t h e various means of communications, Lester Morley, brother of the President, came here from San Jua-cinto, Texas. F o r m a l l y the chairman of San Juacinto College's Printing and Publishing

Technology Department, Morley has been made the dean of Technical and Specialized Education. Besides managing the technical aspects of communications, Morley develops course programs for vocational education.

One specialized course was the Law Enforcement Class. Lasting from Oct. 28 until the end of the Fall Semester, the course gave 800 hours of instruction to state, county, and city law officers. Tullis Ester-ling, Bay County undersheriff, and Tom McAuley, Panama City police chief, coordinated the program.

Until recently the Student Government Association has not, in the opinion of the Gull's Cry, adequately represented the student body. Now, however, important changes have been made in SGA's structure and outlook.

Constitutional amendments have been passed which open up Association officios to students with low grade-point averages. The duties of the vice-president and president have been sliifted. The president can now act as an advisor and sound out student opinions.

A new commission opened up in the senate. The new post, commission of Student Organizations, was created to coordinate the activities of recognized

campus organizations.

The first commissioner of Student Organizations will be a member of the newest club on c a m p u s , the Veterans Club. Since its formation in December, the club has sponsored the winner of two beauty contests, placed a member in the SGA senate, and produced an extremely well attended on-campus event, an oyster-shucking and eating contest.

One development in the college may have hindered club activities. For this semester, t h e class schedules were changed to eliminate full class loads on Fridays.

With h o u r and 15 minute c l a s s e s on Monday, through Thursday and 3 hour time blocks on Friday, there was no time for an activity period. Sev-e r a 1 organizations, including SGA and Phi Theta Kappa, have attacked the present schedule and urged the return of an activities period.

This list of 1968-69 campus developments is incomplete. To adequately review all changes which have taken place would require at least as many copy inches as there are in this entire issue.

This college isn't stagnate. The school is constantly changing and every development tries to better the college for the student.

No Curfew For FSU Coeds TAXJ^AHASSEE, A p r i l 3—

Florida State University women students living in University housing, with the exception of freshmen, will h a v e self-regulated curfew hours beginning in the fall quarter, the University announced today.

Seniors are presently the o ly undergraduate women granted self-regulated hours.

Also as of September, 1969, women students of junior standing or above or over 31 years of age will no longer be required to live In University or other supervised h o u s i n g . Juniors presently are required to reside in University housing.

Administrative approval was granted for the changes in regu

lations on the recoirimendations of Florida State's Student Senate, the subcommittee on housing of the Special Presidential Committee on Student Affairs, and a survey of women's rules at other universities by the Office of Student Affairs.

Night clerks will be hired to staff the dormitories during the late hours for the security of dormitory residents.

Dean of Women Katherine Hoffman said, "The new regulations represent a move toward more responsibility for students in governing their own lives, and brings Florida State closer to customs at most other large coeducational universities."

Program director for WGCC, the new campus radio station, is a job that will carry for the first time a student assistant's wage equal to his tuitions next year. The p r o g r a m director must work at least five hours a week to qualify for the position

of the present staff members will be here for the 1970 semesters. More students are urgently needed to work on the Gull's Cry and Parjorama.

Four positions on the staff, Gull's Cry editor, Panorama editor, photogr-.pher, and business manager, are considered student assistant jobs. These four students get a waiver of each semester's tuition • Fall and spring - as remuneration.

Working on publications is perhaps the most worthwhile and effective way for a student to get to know his college. A staff member will become acquainted with everyone on campus from the maintenance crew to the. president. As he goes from assignment to assignment, a Gull's Cry and Panorama reporter can learn about his fellow student's n e e d s , recrea

tions, and persona:lities. Journalism majors are not the

only students who can find a place on the publications staff. Anyone who is interested in creative writing might find his works improving as he practices the c l e a r , hard-hitting style of newspapers and magai-zines.

One of the most vital positions on the staff is the photographer. If a student uses a camera either as a career or hobby, he can find enjoyment in his work for the Gull's Cry and Panorama.

Besides writers and photographers, other career-minded students can fill useful positions on the staff. Students interested in accounting could become the business or circulation managers.

A student with artistic talent could enjoy himself as the publications' Ilkistrator. A girl planning to be a secretary could find worthwhile practice as the staff typist or stenographer.

None of the duties oh the publications staff are easy. Stti-dents should plan to spend at least two hours a day working on this one-isemester hour course. However, no one will find that he is wasting his time. Working for Gull's Cry and Panorama isn't like surfing on a v.'arm summer's day, but it sure beats polishing a lonely chair in the Student Center.

tors of this reniarkable family. Many photos are in color, and they, along with those in black and white, as well as the well-chogen \^ords niake a fitting memorial to the kennedys' who have made an indelible impres-

, sion upon this country and the world.

THE BIGHT PEOPLE, by Stephen Birmingham, analyzes the social establishment in America in a book that is liberally illustrated with examples and anecdotes that are both witty and wise. It's canvas ranges from Newi England to Palm Beach and from New York to Palni Springs. Names like Vanderbilt, Pulitzer, Zan_-uck. Shields, Topping, and Flagler make the book read like a "Who's Who of Who To Know." Birmingham's book is a lexicon also of fascinating expressions, such as "To gingerbread," "fashionable upstart," and "in-suranceland."

For those readers who enjoy reading memoirs, NBC-News Commentator Chet Huntley has written a lyrical, sometime witty, sometime dramatic account of his early years in the Far Northwest state of Montana. Included in his book THE GENEROUS YEARS is an account of how he announced the play-by-play action of the World Series to crowds waiting in the railroad station as it came over the telegraph key.

McKuen lovers will be rushing but for the American chanson-nier's newest collection LONESOME CITIES, which follows a theme—the lonely search for being and love—similar to that in his first two collections. The thin book is divided into several sections, each bearing an appropriate heading. Some of the titles are: "Prologue: The At't of Catching Trains," "San Francisco," "Paris," "Cheyenne," "Notes from a Letter to Ellen," and "Thirteen Songs."

The title ' song is illustrative of the theme and tone of the collection:

There's a few more lonesome cities

That I'd like to see while the wine of wandering

is still inside of me. There's a few more pretty

women that I'd like to know, a bridge or two I'd like to

cross, a few more coats to sow. Maybe when I've done it all, seen all there is to see, I'll find out I still cannot run away from me. But as long as trains keep

runnin'

a restless man I'll be, and there're a few mor^ lone-

sonjejiities that I've yet to see.

i The readers who were spellbound by Pierre BouUe's povels — and the movies based upon them— the Bridge Over the River Kwai and Planet of Apes, will probably want to make a special effort to read his newest work, THE PHOTOGRAPHiEB, a short, tightly written story of a top-flight professional news photographer whose war injury limits his career to doing studio portraits until an opportunity to get the pictures of a lifetime, come his way if he will help in a mysterious task that taxes his idea of right and wrong.

Finally, for those parents on campus who have small chil

dren, there is a book that should have special appeal, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF. CHILDREN'S ART, by Rhoda Kellogg and ScQtt Odell. Liberally illustrated wjlji children's drawings and paintings — many in color — at progressive stages in their lives, the book is a pleasure to look at. The skillfully written text is sensitively and imaginatively related to the illustrations, com-

• plementing rather than decorating.

General Dwight D. Eisenhow-'er admirers will want to read or reread five books by the deceased American soldier-statesman: Crusade in Europe, Mandate for Change, Waging the Peace, At Ease, and, his last. In Review, a pictorial autobiography.

Players Say Coach Shows

favori t ism B y J I M K I M B R E L

Rumors flew a few weeks ago in the Social Science Division. The past two weeks, they have jflown concerning the athletic department. And they have the nasty tones of "favoritism."

Recently, a Gulf Coast baseball player returned to his Pennsylvania home. The reason's he gave for leaving included personal humility, unequal opportunity, and fctvoritism. These charges were leveled at baseba.Il coach Bill Frazier.

TTie player told this reporter, "I t 's hard to come from all-star to all-bum. If T had blown my chance, I would have sat on the bench and never said a word. But, I never had a chance, even to be lousy. I told Prazier that he didn't give me a fair chance and he didn't deny it. Then, before the entire team, h e said I wasn't going to play, no matter how poorly the regular at my position played."

Frazier also had been charged, by more than one person, of having favorites. These players played regardless.

" I 'm not going to beg Frazer for anything," said the player who returned home. " I think I have enough ability and I think I showed enough in practice merit my starting. I think that I could have helped the team more than the regular because at the time lie wasn't playing well."

When presented with these charges, Frazier said, " I know the player had been unhappy here since last September, when I talked him out of leaving then. As for the charge of not having a fair chance, if that be the case, no one got a fair chance."

Frazier went on to say that the player didn't show him enough in practice to merit playing. "All I had to go was his past record and you don't play ball on past records."

However, some players disagreed with Frazier on that point. Said one player, " I think he played well enough to start at least half of the t ime."

"Maybe it 's superstition on my part but I never break up a winning line-up. At that time we were on a winning streak and I wasn't going to break that up to please a disgruntled player. It wasn't a case of favoritism, it was just superstition."

It isn't fair to let a player with ability linger on the bench due to a personality Conflict. With all due respect to Frazier 's ability to judge talent, perhaps he should have listened to the opinions of his players. They felt the player should have played, . . . at least every once in a while.

Toes Twice With Manatee Carroll Voted

Year

BY JIM KIMBKEL After a disastrous South Flori

da road trip, wheresthe pitchers must have thought it was Pearl Harbor over again, the Gulf Coast Junior College baseball teani returned horhe.

The; team was bombed twice by Manatee.

Coach Bill Frazier said of the defeats, "We rap into a pretty good ball club« I don't think we were mentally ready for Manatee. I think some of our freshmen were a little nervous because Manatee was number two in the nation last year."

"I think we gave them the first game," said Frazier, referring to a number of errors made by the team, "and we didn't hit the ball at all."

"In the second game we knocked their ace, Robin Flake, out of the box and he's supposed to be one of the best in the nation. But on, that day, they could have beat anyone."

The team returned home to take two out of three from Wisconsin State and sweep an easy double header from Pensacola Junior College.

Frazier had glowing praise lor his plthcing staff. "We have gotten route-going performances the past few days. And, we are going t6 need pitching this week because we have six conference games in lour days."

The team gets started on that tough schedule with a day-night doubleheader with Chipola in Marianna. The Commodores defeated the Indians twice earlier this year.

Frazier liad stated that he wasn't totally satisfied with the team's hitting. But the team blasted PJG 10-0 and 11-1, with plenty of hittittg.

The team's leading bitters average wise are right-fielder Bill Cameron and second baseman Ron Helton.

Basketball coach Jack Jackson announced this week that Gulf Coast has signed Port St. Joe all-state basketball star David Langston to a scholarship

The 6'1", 155-pound Langston led the Port St. Joe Sharks to the state class B championship this past season. An all-purpose ballplayer, he was a stand out at scoring and rebounding, plus overall play.

Although Langston played forward in high school, Jackson said he would play the aU-statieir at guard.

He said, "W* think we have got an outstanding ball player in Langston. I can't say whether oi* not he Will 6e a starter next year. We have got $ome good guards coming back. But we signed him to play ball tor as . "

The signing ended oyer two! weeks of speculation that Liangston would sigh with the Commodores.

Only Two Bachelors

After rookie lefthander Jon Warden was taken in the American League expansion draft, the rtetroit Tigers were left with only two bachelors—Earl Wilson a;nd Daryi Patterson.

1968-'69 BASKETBALL Award winners at the annual basketball banquet Friday night included players David Jones (top photo, with Joe Tom King, president ot the Gulf Coast Athletic Association), Kermit Perkins (middle photo) and Bob Carroll (bottom photo, with Dr. Richard Morley, president of the college). Carroll was voted the most valuable player, while Jones was singled out for outstanding sportsmanship and also elected team captain for the 1969-70 season. Perkins received votes as most valuable player as well as the award for best defense. Also receiving votes in the most valuable player category were Dan Joyner and Earl Hill. Others receiving awards were Alex Home, best free throw shooter; John Geddis, best field goal shooter; Joyner, best reboun-der; Hill, most improved; Buck Caylor, best academic record; Perkins, most assists; and Carroll, 110 per cent record.

Better Communications, More Action

Keynotes O f President's Program By JUDY CAMMON

"Communication is m y busin e s s , " is the slogan of Ron Johnson, newly elected Student

" Government Association President.

"My main concern is the lack of communication on c a m p u s , " says Johnson. "No one seems to ever know when Items of importance come u p . "

Johnson hopes to correct this di lemma by letting the students know what is going on and also by building s tudents ' interest in these activities.

Johnson says, "Eve ry activity tha t the student does or does not attend, he has paid for at least in par t by tuition. Fifteen per cent of his tuition goes to the student activity fund. Therefore, the student should know about these activities since he has a l ready paid fo r : them."

Another a r ea that Johnson would lilse to see changed is the amount of interest the students have in SGA itself.

He feels that every student should voice his opinion to, or

become a par t ot student government .

Johnson strongly urges students, "SGA is your govern-memt . You should t ry to run it. I t ' s your right, i t 's your freedom, and it 's your responsibility. "There is a g rea t need for everyone to participate in SGA,"

Johnson feels that before now the association has been looked upon as a governing body only.

"However ," he says, " i t has an additional responsibility. It has the responsibility of informing, interesting, a n d gett ing each individual to become active or at least have a voice in SGA.

" S G A has this added responsi-b i 1 i t y confronting it continuously. It must s t imulate each student to fight for his or he r fights. It has to teach the students that SGA is their government and, therefore, is working completely for their well being ."

Johnson says " I feel that through a bet ter planned pro-

Little Schoolhouse

Nears Realization The dream of college presi

dent Dr. Richard Morley for a "little red schoolhouse" is Hearing realization.

The schoolhouse, vvliich would be located south of the Kailroad Museum facing west, would provide a child care c«nter for preschool children of parents attending the college.

In addition to this service, it would encourage parents to return to school, knowing that their children would be well taken care of.

The schoolhouse w o u Id be equipped with play-classrooms, nursery, restrooms, kitchen, dining area, and a first aid room staffed by someone trained in child care.

The building will probably be 30 feet wide by approximately 50 feet long, with a small porch on the front. There will be several entrances and exits to meet all safety rulings. Parents will be able to drive alongside the building so that their disembarking children will not have to cross a busj' street.

Decor wU follow th* theme of "Little Red Schoolhouse" in carpeting, draperies, wallpaper, and paneling.

Four-season air-conditioning wiU be included for year-round comfort.

Only one problem remains:

A building is needed before the "little red schoolhoase" can become a reality and the fulfull-ment of Dr. Morley's di~eam.

By TOMMY CARB Dan Smith, stjdent activities

director, is vitally interested in young people and works hard at his job.

Before coming to Gulf Coast, Smith worked in the Illinois YMCA program for six years as g e n e r a l secretary at Ed-wardsville, program director and acting executive director at Granite City.

In addition to his YMCA duties. Smith ran complete programs of community recreation, informal education, a n d self-improvement. He coached all sports and ran a 36-team youth league.

He also ran youth in government, a three-day legislature for young people, did much initial work in starting economic opportunity programs, was active in Community Chest and United Fund, and served as a Boy Scouts committeeman and a Rotary Club board member.

Smith also worked with the do-ordinated Yout. Agency, a custodial and probation agency for pre-deliquent kids.

—In September of 1966 Smith accepted a fellowship at the University of Florida, where he hearned about the junior college program and became interested iu education as a career.

"I figured if the fellowship didn't work out, It would be a nice Florida vacation."

"The YMCA is a young rhan's job and it demands a lot of you. I couldn't see myself going at that pace all my life," Smith added "I wanted to get out of administration. I had gone as far in the Y as I could go without taking on a lot of burdens and responsibilities I wasn't constitutionally prepared for. I'm a worrier and the administrator in my mind must be one who can go home and forget it."

As Smith sees his job here, it covers three general areas; advisor to SGA, g e n e r a l coordination and assistance in the club program, and promotion of school spirit.

"Three groups make up the college, the administration, the faculty, and the students as rep-

resented by SGA, and I don't see any of these as being more influential than the others.

"The reason SGA ha<s not been accepted in this partnership is because it has not shown its potential, it has not been particularly eloquent in articulating the students' thoughts.

"I see this as natural because students are learners at the things aidministrators and faculty are hired for, and it's my j o b to help develop these things."

Smith feels that his job with the club program involves a loose supervisory relationship, providing information, securing club help, and encouraging useful projects.

Promoting School spirit, as Smith sees it, is assisting SGA and clubs to provide social activities, to promote and present a good program of aesthetic and cultural activity, to encourage support for the teams, and to foster a felling of good will on campus.
