THE POLEMIC April 25, 1973 ,_freshmen Impressions of A.C.C. by M,~li$fa Schirmflr While many of us would like the chance to expre?s our impressions of ACC, we nev- er •Si~n'I to be able to. The following freshmin had this chance when they were 4sktd what their impression of ACC was. Even though they were lacking in re- sponse, we were able to find some who Wiri willing to co-operate. I hope next yeijr the freshmen will show more enthu- si<1sm if asked for their impressions. Some of the impressions are as follows: ~eff Q_a¥,)s: Nice place to visit and I wish I didn't live here. JjlJ) i¥fell: I think ACC is one of the fin- est institutions of higher learning in the NorthiaStirn United States. Not often is a college with learning standards as high as ACC and quality of teachers combined • in Oflf location. Many people take ACC for granted, but I think everyone should be honest and admit that they are proud to be a part of this fantasitc community colle!J_e. Harry Qross: I like the teachers and I m<1de alot of friends while living in the dorm . Bob Gouin: It's an overgrown high school. Ben Si.J: The education itself is fair. The administration is all right. I don't like the dorm, but here I met a lot of cool friends. The food didn't meet my standards, be- cause I'm Oriental. Arthur Bennett: No comment. Steve Antoine: Just like any other junior ' colleges, it has it's advantages and disad v.-ntages. I just haven't found it's advan- Continued next column Planetarium Focuses On "Message from Mariner" The Planetarium focuses on the SKY THEATRE, with "9,999,998,027 B.C.": now until May 13, and "Message from Mar- iner": May 20 - June 24.

John Bester: Some improvements in clas- ses that transfer could be made, and the dorm students could show a little more in- terest in the dorm. Sharon Schwartz: I'm just down on it right now. Seriously, I like it. Tom Brinkman: I think it should be wiped off the map. Charles Walton: ACC is a nice place to visit, but I guess I have to live here. Also, it could be better for the blacks. Neal Marquess: I think ACC is a very _nice college if you're determined and you're really planning on getting your studies. But I think the instructors and administrators could be a little bit better. ... or there should be a few adjustments made. Jeff Thompson: ACC is an end with no means. Norman Baker: The school and the ad- ministration are all right, but the dorm stinks. Terry Cubic: Nice place to go to school and visit, but I wouldn't want to live here. Lou Dubey: It's not bad, for where it's at. Maryanne Wojda: The people I've met and most of my experiences have made ACC worthwhile. Earl Dunn: I can't really say much about this junior college, because I don't know what to expect, because I've never been to college before. ACC, in my opinion, needs a little more recreation, a()d with recrea- tion, the dorm will be a better place to live. MSU Student Help Underpaid (CPS) -- Students empro9e-d b9 M i&i- gan State University receive an average of $1 per hour less than non-student employ- ees performing the same job according to an unreleased study by a state official in Michigan. But any change in the present pol icy must be _ recommended by the school's placement bureau and then passed on to the board of trustees for final approval. A university official claimed it was very difficult to compare the wages of regular employees and student employees. He says the only way comparitive grades of work for regular and student employees can be matched up is through careful analysis of thick books containing hun- dreds of job descriptions. •••••• HAMBURGER DRIVE-IN, STATE ST.
