Quality, Not Quantity What's so good about a community college? Now that's a question which has been bouncing around for some time ·just begging to be answered. For those of us who have experienced the utter confusion in- herent in big university life, it is refreshing to note that there still remain a few educators and concerned individuals who are dedicated to quality rather than mass-production education. From this dedica- tion to quality education springs the community college which is far removed from the dehumanized world of the large university where, at tremendous cost, the student is mechanically educated. In the more relaxed atmosphere of the community college the student ha~ ample opportunity to determine, at a much reduced cost, whether Pr not he is actually college material and therefore capable of persuing additional, advanced education. At Alpena Community College the student-teacher ratio is such that it provides closer contact, thereby making education a much more personal and individual process. Further, there is more oppor- tunity to develop one's own unique personality, rather than being an anonymous member of a wandering flock of sheep known only to an impersonal computor as just another one of that seemingly endless accumulation of student numbers. . - Pardon me, but my prejudice is showing. . - David Hughes ' SOPHOMORE CLASS REPRESENTATIVES: Back row, left to right: Student Representa- tives, Joel Secrist, Dave Sparks; President, Doug Smith.

A few guys grouped around the Central Hall lounge area were argumg uver which of the Blizzard or Head skiis were better and the feasibility of using four, five or six buckle boots. Ten ski resorts around the state are now open for the season. ACC's Ski Club would be well advised to begin planning for their weekend trips. The annual "Snowball" will prove to be a most en- joyable evening. The Soph- omore Class has done an outstanding job in plans and preparations. This year, the location is the Grove on U.S. 2:~ North.

Instructor, who resigned from the fac- ulty of ACC last September, has been replaced by Mrs. Florence Adams. Mrs. Adams, who has had 18 years of secondary- . teaching experience in the Beaverton and Gladwin area, will be instructing humanities, English liter- ature, and philosophy at ACC. The new instructor said, "I enjoy teaching very much, and the cooperation at ACC is just marvelous." She also stated, "It really feels funny to get paid for doing something that I en- joy so much.-" Mrs. Lazorshak, who has been at ACC for two years, will make her permanent home in the Detroit area.
