(8) The main body of the code does not pro- vide for certification of special teachers in such areas as speech, school psychologists, school nurses, etc. The administrative regulations provide for this cer- tification and, in general, there is reference to the requirements of the agency responsi!ble for the special activity. It is hoped that the committee can do a sufficiently good job in holding hearings throughout the staite so tha,t the formal le- gal hearings of the State Board of Education will be little more than a formality wi,th all con- flicts reconciled before the State Board of Edlucaition holds iits hearings. Certification of teachers, as is iflhe case in any registration or licensing of a professional group, is a highly controversial matter. It affects people's sal- aries, their ri.glh!t to pursue an occupation, loyalty to a parti- cullar area of learning, and many other m:aitters close to the heart of teachers. The commit- tee has listened to many con- flicting ideas and over the per- iod of its work has tried to make the necesS'ary compro- mises and present a document that is the best that can be de- viised from 1!he point of view of meeting high standards in teach- er education. It is ex;pected tJhat ithe best people will be attract- ed to teachtng and that ultimat- ely the cop.sumers and tJhe stu- dents will' have even better teachers undier whom they will p 11....-i;uie t!..lJ.,eja- edwation. pro- grams th·an they've had under · the old code. Industry (Continued from Page 1 fields. Mr. Wilson indicated that mathematics, elrotJricity, hy- draulics, drafting, and the abil- ity to communicaite between fellow workers and administra- ,tors were requisites for a suc- cessful position in industry. The demand for a greater number of technicians is in- creasing rapidly. During illhis age of automation, industry needs individuals who are train- ed for specific job qualifica- tion. As indu·stry becomes more aware of the true value of a technician, who is a specialist; rt11ained by Community Colleges and other comparalble institu- tions, the full contribution of the technician will be magni- fied many times. As a result of a study by Gen- eral Electric, four pertinent recommendatiions concerning technical training were made. 1. Encourage industry to de- velop a more uniform under- standing of teclhnician's work. 2. Encourage more education- al institutions to develop the ,technical training clllTiculum. 3. Encourage the unity of all linstiltuiions engaged in the ed- ucaition of qualiiiied technicians. 4. Develop closer relation- ships between the faculties of technical training institutions and industry through activities such as seminars, temporary employment, tours, lectures and conferences to oromote a two- way communications f.or long- range planni:ng of curriculum. -Robert Ryan Girls Hear · Good Grooming Tips "Good grooming is a must for -everyone eSPeCiaily for college gh-1Js", was the main theme of the lecture recently giv,en to a ,group of girls at Alpena Oom- muniity College. Personal cleamliness is the foundatton for good grooming. In fact, the complaint voiced by many employers is that not eDJoU'gh girls are as cared'ufl. about •this as tJbey should be. Miss Paula Davison was used as tJhe model while the beauty technician demonstrated the proper techniques for applying cosmetics. She definitely ,stated that the object of weairing cosmetics is IDIOt to see how thickly you can llllpply it; but, ratJher, how skill- fully it may be used so that it Pickett's Pharmacy PIESCRIPTIOIS Lloyd Pickett, B.S. EL &-1635 Alpena, Michigan will not orove noticeable to others. In other words, use make-up so thait no one will know you are wearing it. It is not :necessary for .a girl to have an expensive wardrobe or to spend a laTge amoUillt of money on cosmetics to be attrac- tiv,e. However, there ar,e a number of smallJ. items which can add or detract greatly from a girl's ap. ipear,ance. For .iinstarroe, how maniy times have you seen an mdividrual 'who is dressed "f1t .to kill" bUJt is · chewiill'g gum as tJhough her life depended upon it? Or •how man,y girls have you noticed who walk or si,t as though they had never heard of the word "posture"? Little items, :such as dirty shoes, jangly 'bracelets, or ne- glected fingemiails spoil tlhe en- rtlire arppearanJCe of a person, so let's learn .to be neat. 'Ilhen, too, many indivtdru.als are attractive until they speak. A rasping drawl or a POOr use of grammar detracts from any giTl:'s personal aippearance. The lecture was informative to all and we note that it has ,been heeded by many girls. For instance, rouge is now be- ing worn, more eyebrows have ·been plucked and ,brushed, shoes have been polished, and girls apply shades of lipstick to maooh their fmgemaH oolish. ,Perhaps more will follow :J.n their footsteps in the future. -Eleanor & Kaye 'IllMBER CRUISER Tempo Whether by the favor or the frown of that illusive diety, Fate, I became the victim Qt one of those unique quirks in life which completely unbal- ances one's ratlionail th-0ug.111t. Last week I met ,an :honest rm.an. Not unlike an average twen- tieth century comp1'ex man, you could well imagine the incredi• bilty with which I treated the wthole unprecedented situation. Afer all, who would believe that in the year of Our Lord 1959 that such an antiquated animal actually existed. Now it is a well known con- cept of history that Abe Lincoln was an honest man - the last honest man - and for that mat- ter, the onlY officially honest man in history. In fact, there is a segment in society which ra• tionallY questions whether such a unique homo sapien ever eXist- ·- ed, or perhaps he lived so long ago that he has become the vic- tim of a IJ}Odern national epic. (Incidentally, I want to estab- :Lish right here that at the timl' of said event, I hadn't been "three sheets to the wind".) Well, at any rate one could certainly sympathize with my ,predicamellll:. I met the unfor-tunate chap at the corner of 23rd and State on his hands and knees pursu- ing an anit which was occupy- ing itself with the task of seek- ing a hole in the concrete side- walk into wihic,h it might escape. Being a very intellectual indi- vidual, as I am, I surveyed the humorous spectacle and decided to make a bit of sport of the poor chap. "What has the little fellow d-0ne?" I c,hanted. "Stolen your wallet?" 11he little man's ser• ioll'S eyes studied me md seemed to ,tolerate m,y ignorance only by the most pronounced effurt. "Jus' wan:n:al see one civilized critter 'afore they take me away," he said. Not having yet realized my true station in life, I attempted to. reimburse my pride by further bright sugges- tions. "And how would you a'l- leviate the trying world pro- blems and restore civilization to :iJts proper heirght?" I aslred. "Kill all the ants - least won't be haunted by tJhe critter's ._,atural instincts 'tord living wit one an 'annudder." Well, that's tJhe story. The little men with the nets carried him aiway from hls troubles on the sidewalk to a more padded security. You see - they don't believe in honest men, either. 'Dhe ant? Oh, we don't talk about ants anymore.

Representatives from ind1ls- try and management will speale in the near future on the acti- vities of the N.A.M .. and the mana:gerial class. -Clair Frantz November, 1959 Portable Typewriter Headquarters The Alpena Printing Studio has for many years offered .the largest and finest selection of portable type- writers available.

Phone: ELmwood 4-4107 Sit Down, Arise Lumberjacks This ar.ticle refers to m item published in the last issue of The Timber Cruiser, en.tirtJled "Arise" .in whicll the author vio- lently ~ttacks the present form of student govermnent at Al- pena Community College. It is my opinion that the author of the article is not very well ac- quainted with the .government of our student council. 'Dhe main :theme of this arti- cle was that the "little fellow" does not 'have any say in what is going to happen in the school. To this I say, of course he doesn't. After all, the meetings of the student council are only open to all studelllts and there are class representatives elect- ed ,by the class members. These Tepresentati'ves are glad to dis- cuss With any stu'den,t the work- 'ings of the council or any stu- dent problem. If rt.here is feel- ing expressed for or against an action, the reDTesentatives will see to it that something is done. I -believe that many of the students in thls school the ones who are .referred to in "Arise" as the "little fellows", are just too lazy to do anythiDJg about issues, thereby leaving all the work to the student government. If the student body is so dis- gusted wiith the present form of goveTilllllent, I would suggest thait they "Arise" and offer somet'hing constructive. -Bob Kurtz If we did but kn.ow how little same enjoy of the ,great thiings ith,a,t they oossess, there would not be much en<vy in· the world. F'r'iendships are fragile things, and :t"e<lu:ire as much care in, handling as any other fragMe and precious thing. (Continued from Page 3) Alpena's Charles Skiba had the baH and was about to ,sink a basket to trim the lead to four points. He thought he heard a referee's whistle as did nearly all the other olayers. Triwerse Cty's Buck Harvey heard no such thin1g. He took the ball and raced down the floor and •sank a itlw0-'Doint for his side. From there, Travers\! - City caught fire and steadily pulled away. Alpena was behind only nin:e points 70-61, with three mi,nutes •to .go. Moffit Leads Scoring Art Moffit, Traverse City's veteran ceniter, was ,the star per- former for the nlg!l}t. He sank six baJSkeis and six free throws for a high game total of 18. He also came of.f ,the boards with 15 rebounds. Moffit was not charg .. ed Wllth ·a foul. Three other teammates al,s,o figured in dou- ble digits. Jim Youker and Bol;) Woodrow coUJ1Jted 14 poi,nts and Harvey fn.iished with 13. For Alrpen>a, Kurtz was the scoring ll'"ll<lP.r wi>th 14 poio,ts..__.,, He 'had ,seven baskets, six in the second haJf. He milssed only five aittempts for a solid 55 per- centage. Zy,ble flipped in six baskets and a charity for 13 poiinrts. In tJhe second ha-lf, he connected on the first tJhree bas- ket attemvts and had a game total of six i,n 11 shots, also get- tin1g 55 vercenit. Hubert had 12 po1nts, six in each half. mg Gary Gullldei-son, six-five piv>ot c•ame off with seven re- bounds. Fouls proved costly to Alpena, losing 1ts two biggest men (Gun,. derson and Gary Ilsley). '!\he team totaled 26 personals, Tra- verse City was charged with six. From the floor, AJoena led in fielders, 30-26, but made only ,tlhiree free throws compared t6 24 for Traverse City. In the pre1im!i.niary game, Tra- verse City chail.ked up a 40-17 decision which inicluded a, 21-9 half.time lead. Aloena jUIIDped off to a 3-0 leiad in the c•_pemng '- minutes of play but trailed the rest of the way. Don Witt led the losers with five poinJts. Tra- verse City's Jerry Hamilton had 17.
