THE POLEMIC September 1972 -~Pa~g~e~2--~-------------------__;~;;..;..:T:.:.:.:.:.:::_ ________________________ _ Polemic Editorifll Lack of communication strikes again at ACC. It never ceases to amaze me how such a small school as ours can bungle a simple thing like setting up a meeting time and place for a speaker. On September 11, our Secretary of State, Mr. Richard Austin, was to speak to the general public in the lecture hall (room 150) of the Natural Resources Building. There were reports flying around that he was going to speak at the Civic Center (Masonic Temple) and at Van Lare Hall. Evidently no directions were given to even Mr. Austin as he said that he had trouble finding out where he was to speak. As it turned out there· were approxi- mately 40 people present to hear the dis- cussion. More than that small number would probably have made it if there would have been a better and sooner an- nouncement through the media. The day Outreach Gets Vets A program recently has been started at Al- pena Community College which deals ex- clusively with veterans of the armed forces. This is the Veteran Outreach Program. Their prime goal is to advise eligible veter- ans as to how they can benefit through college, with the assistance of the Veter- ans Educational Benefit Plan (G.I. Bill). Who is eligible? Any veteran with 181 consecutive days of service is entitled to aid. The vet has eight years starting from the day of his discharge, to take advan- tage of these educational benefits. Chris Dagner, Thomas Gilberston, Gary Lawrence, Kenneth EJagner, and Glen Bet- zoldt have spearheaded the program which has enrolled 62 new vets for this fall sem- ester. before the speaker is scheduled is not the time to be making corrections. Also, the number of people present brings up another matter. There were only a few people from the community, several'stu- dents, two administrators, and no faculty members present. This does not say much for the people of ACC. Mr. Austin opened up with a general dis- cussion and debate. He spoke on a var- iety of subjects from the McGovern nom- ination to No-fault insurance. Mr. Austin as an excellent speaker, fielded all ques- tions readily and stood up for his own be- I iefs and those of the Democratic Party. He may have stepped on a couple of peo- ples' toes in answering or not answering some of the questions, but under the cir- cumstances did impress me even as he apologized for possibly being rude to some. I'm just sorry that more people were not there to listen to the discussion. Although the program is centralized at A.C.C., trips have been made to Atlanta, East Tawas, Rogers City, Lewiston, Osco- da, Ossineke, Pontiac, and Posen to pub- 1 icize the Outreach Program. Anyone desiring to obtain more informa- tion can do so by visiting the Outreach Office which is found next to the Busi- ness Office in Van Lare Hall. GOLDEN Z MEETS The ACC Golden Z Club, a young wom- ens' service group sponsored by the Zon- ta Club of Alpena, met Wednesday, Sep- tember 7, at 9:00 at the Student Center. At this first meeting, the officers for 1972- 1973 were introduced.

New lil,rarr in New 81i1'i1g Big event this month seems to be mov- ing in the library from the old location in Van Lare Hall. Mr. Hartwick, the Librar- ian, is busy getting equipment into place. Looks like an enormous job, but will real- ly be nice when they are all moved in. The library is on the second floor of the new science building which is behind Besser Technical Building. It is open now from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. for study and limited use. There are approximately 20,000 books, and 271 periodicals includ- ing magazines and newspapers. There are also records, tapes, slides, and film strips. Soon they will have a self-service photo copying serviceatthe nominal cost of ten cents per page. When the library is finally organized there should be seating for about eighty students. There are three full time staff members and thirteen students working in the li- brary. All are working hard to get it in order after the move from Van Lare Hall. The Besser Tech Librarywas alsomoved and combined with that from Van Lare. Mrs. Grimes, who was the librarian in Bes- ser Tech, is now the cataloger in the new librarv. Intramural Program Gets Muddy Start Student Government Acts Appointment of officers plus discus- sions on a college pub, Judiciary Board, and suggestion box highlighted the second Student Government meeting of the year. Government President Chris Dagner ap- - pointed Audrey Voight secretary, Jane Szczukowski treasurer, and Charlie Um- phrey political coordinator. Other mem- bers of the Council include Ken Dagner, vice-president; Craig Kus and Rudy Feldt, sophomore representatives; and Kathy Rose and Laurie Datema, freshman rep- resentatives. Discussion was held regarding the cre- ation of a college pub. Empty space in the basement of the Student Center was sug- gested as a possible location. Mr. Dag- ner declared that a committee made up of Student Government members would be formed to further explore the matter. The concept of a Judiciary Board was introduced into discussion. This Board would function as a "student court" and would, stated Mr. Dagner, "have the authority to expel any student it found guilty of conduct detrimental to the in- terests of the student government at the college. Such findings would be based on specific charges and would at all times reflect the individual's right to defense." A copy of the by-laws of a student court from another college was submitted as a guideline. Ken Dagner was placed in charge of setting up a suggestion/problem-solving box to be located in Van Lare Hall. The Student Government will meet twice a month, and each meeting will be called by the President. Have something to sell? Need extra money? Get rid of those extra articles laying around.

ACC Has New Phone System One of several changes at ACC this year is the new phone system. It has been ini- tiated to provide greater efficiency and ease in dealing with phone calls. At the center of this new system is a switchboard, housed in the Business Office at Van Lare Hall.
