This fall there were 600,000 high school students without teachers. The teacher strikes have hurt the Great Society where it hurts the most, its youth. Many critics feel the high school instructors have a duty to fulfill to their country an~ also feel these respected members of our communities are breaking the law which prohibit strikes by public employees. The students are being used and harmed in a problem they can do nothing about. However, the striking teachers have a real and legitimate reason for such drastic conduct. According to the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, the average in- come of all families in the United States is $5_, 737, about the same as a high school teacher's income. However, the medium income of all families where the head of the family has completed 4 years of college is $9,264, a far cry from the teacher's pay. The school instructor's salary is comparable to the. average head of the family which has completed 1 to 3 years of high school. The blame shouldn't be placed on the teachers, but upon their employers, the voters and tax payers, who have been underpaying their public employees for years.

It is written to keep the students informed and up-to-date on people and activities. This reporter had the opportunity to interview a few members of the 19- 67 freshman class; the largest ever to attendACC. Don Foster, 18, from Melvindale, Michigan, was so enthused about attending ACC that he came to Alpena a week early. Staying with a couple of sophomores that week and sleeping on a rock hard floor didn't seem to discourage Don, although his back had reverb- erations. Don evaluates ACC as having a good outside ap- pearance -and an even bet- ter internal structure. out pledging SIGMA PHI ZETA Fraternity, which holds his interest. The varsity baseball team is- looking with anti- cipation to Don's~ spring turnout. At the present time, Mr. Foster is a dishwash- er in the Student Center cafeteria. Let's hope Don continues to climb the lad- der of success. One of the more attract- ive girls walking through the halls at ACC is Nora Minchew, eighteen and one-h.~lf years old, from a familiar city to resi- dents of Alpena, Oscoda. Nora wears her blond -hair in a short style and the easiest way to recog- nize her is by looking for quite wide-oval sunglasses covering her beautiful bright blu.e eyes. Nora, who_is on the EIP program, feels at home at (Continued· on Page 4) Friday, September 29, 1967 ROBERT E. DOMINIC A.C.C.'s new chemistry instructor, Robert E.
