A.C.C.'s dele - gates, Denny Fuerst, Roger Phillips, Bruce Cash, Bev Meden and Judy Lamble, acted only as observers at this convention because of the fact that A.C .C. is not a member of the associa- tion. The purpose of this trip was to gain more infor- mation concerning the M.J.C.C.S.A. than had previously been known so that the Student Council could decide whether or not this association would be beneficial to our col- This aerial photograph clearly indicates the lack of a walkway connecting Central Hall, background, and Besse r Tech-{ical School, foreground. ,-.._~~r:be n,.aJ,n plirpose of this association is to help member colleges solve problems which are per- tinent to all Junior and Community Colleges such as: Teacher-Student Rela- tions, Judiciary Problems, Fraternities and Sorori- ties, Student Interest and Support, Social Codes, Stu- dent Government and Elec- tions and Communications and Publications.

Student Council This year's cheer- leaders were chosen by the Student Council because the turnout was so small that tryouts in front of the stu- dent body were considered a waste of time. Four fe- m ale members were picked and the council made it known that the school owned a cheerleading uniform for any male student who might be interested. The squad is headed by sophomore captain Karen Jorgenson from Cheboy- gan. Karen graduated from Cheboygan High School where she was a cheer- leader for four years. She is a physical education ma- jor and plans to make teaching her career. ReJ')resenting the Oscoda area is sophomore Kathryn Rick. Kathryn is on the ele- mentary teaching curricu- lum and plans to teach the first grade. As a member of the Student Council, she is an active person in school activities. Kathryn is a graduate of Oscoda High School. Another sophomore, Marilynn Hartnell is from Alpena. Marilynn, a physi- cal education major, plans to take up secondary teach- ing. She is a graduate of Alpena High School and is a past member of A.C.C.'s Student Council. Lone freshman -on the squad is Sylvia Stevens from Atlanta. Sylvia was a cheerleader for four years at Atlal.'lta High Besser Company On October 23, the Transcription 203 class, under the supervision of Mrs. Flora Stenzel, toured the Data Processing and Stenograph Departments of The Besser Company. Mr. Compeau and Mrs. McKay, employees of the company, officiated as guides, explaining the basic functions of the Data Pro- cessing Machines and their role in our modern Age of Automation. Among the various de- vices presented and dem- onstrated were: the key punch, the varifier, the sorter, and the program- ming boards used by IBM equipment. Machines ex- plained and discussed in the stenographic depart- ment included the teletype, t_eleprinter, zerox, thermofax and the grapho- type and addressograph. As the students are presently studying busi- ness machines and their uses, the tour proved ex- tremely interesting and profitable. - Janice LaLonde School. She is on a two year secretarial program here at A.C.C. The cheerleaders hope that the students will stand behind them in supporting the Lumberjacks, as it is tne fans who make the dif- ference in the game - not the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders are there to organize the cheers and not to make all the noise. On Sidewalks And Warning Lights On Wednesday, Novem- ber 6, 1963, the Student Council of Alpena Com- munity College, by unani- mous vote, went on record supporting a plan to con- struct a sidewalk between Central Hall and Besser Technical School and to in- stall warning lights and/ or caution signs at the crosswalks on Johnson Street. With the construc- tion of the Besser Techni- cal School, a definite need for these facilities has arisen. Alpena' s hazardous winter driving conditions indicate there is a high ·probability that someone may be injured while crossing Johnson Street. This person could be you! M~ny A. C.

Dennis Fuerst, Student Council President, re- ported that Dean Van Lare related, in a meeting with the Student Council repre".'" sentatives; that the oval driveway is intended main- ly for vehicular traffic. In th_e winter months when drifting snow covers the driveway, a single lane of traffic is not wide enough to accomodate both pedes- trians and vehicles. The aerial photograph clearly indicates that there is no walkway connecting Central Hall and the Besser Technical School. The students at A.C.C. appreciate our fine campus and the new technical school, but are these build- ings to exist as separate institutions or as a single closely - knit educational unit? Does it make sense that A.C.C. can have two, mil- lion dollar buildings and not be able to construct a sidewalk connecting them? We don't believe that it does. All endeavors to find out who is responsible for the lack of a sidewalk have been in vain. The Student Council feels that it is necessary for them to reflect the in- terest of the student body by demanding immediate action on this problem. If a sidewalk is not built pefore the arrival of win- ter, the Timber Cruiser has been advised that the administration plans to Continued on page 4
