October 31, 1973 POLEMIC Page 5 * * * * Continued from page one * * * * The Campus Activities Board This committee works through the S.A.O. to bring the activities to the students and faculty on campus. Members include: Tim Wright, Linda Lane and Bill Skiba. The Intramural Committee This committee helps set up intramural programs and also helps to officiate. Members include: Laura Warren, Dennis Szcgerowski, and Anne Swan. The Curriculum Review Committee The review of present A.C.C. classes and programs are evaluated in this committee and judged as to whether or not they are adequate for student needs and wants on cam- pus. Members include: Robert Voigt Jr., and Bob Atkinson. Evaluation Committee The job of this committee is to evaluate the college teachers and faculty of A.C.C. on a student basis. Members include: Shiela Alpers, and John Sliss. Budget Review Board The duties of this committee are to review this year's budget and vote to see what amounts the various school programs are allowed to receive. Members include: Ernie Beauregard, Stephan Szucs, Michael Centala, and Kathleen Rose. Judicial Review Board The Judicial Review Board is the most recent committee formed within the Student Government. It is that committee formed to insure that students involved in disciplinary action have a fair trial that involves a representation from the entire college community. Members of this committee include: John Sliss, Bill McDowell, Ed Miller, Mike Centala, and Robert Voigt Hr. as student members and then the committee is requred to have three faculty members present and one non-teaching administrator present. In talking with President Bob he revealed that this is his first year in working with the Student Government. He has always been on the outside looking in, and for this reason, he signed up for a position in the Student Government ruling body. Bob hopes to be a part of and help influence the decisions that are reached on campus that involve the total student body. He urges any interested students to attend the Student Govern- ment meetings and "get involved" by voicing their opinions and adding their suggestions. With total student involvement, the A.C.C. campus could be more of what the students want it to be!

Student Killed During Pledging (CPS) A student at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA died of multiple head injuries after jumping from a moving car during a September fraternity prank. Mitch Fishkin, 19, a pledge for Le- high's Delta Phi fraternity, was being driven to woods near the University late in the evening with the intention that he be forced to walk back, when the incident occurred. A fraternity brother described Fish- kin as a dare-devil type person, "well liked by everybody," who felt "he could pull off 'The Great Escape' from the brothers' car." One of the peOple in the car re- ported that after Fishkin jumped "we stopped, made a U turn and came back. We al I got out and saw that he was in bad shape." A passing police car was flagged down and a call for an ambulance was made over his radio. Fishkin died an hour later at 1 :40 in a local hospital. After a complete investigation by the police department and the District Attor- ney's office, officials concluded the in- cident was an accident and no criminal charges were pressed. _ A V[ewer Speaks Out by Dennis Styma Chris Swansen gave a performance on his Moog Synthesizer this October 1 at the A.H.S. Auditorium. This performance was part of the S.A.O. (Student Activities Office) Program which is a part of the entertainment provided to the A.C.C. students. The type of music played was not the traditional kind of thing that one ordin- arily hears on the radio. All of the sounds were mechanically synthesized through the use of a 16-track record ing machine. Mr. Swansen presented many different and varied types of music, ranging from Billie Ho liday Blues to Blood Sweat and Tears Jazz, to an experimental thing com- posed solely for the synthesizer called Music from Studio W.A .T.T. He also sele.cted freely from the work of Bach and other classical composers, and closed the concert with an Edgar Winter-ish rock and roll p iece. A ll in all, it was a rather enjoyab le con- cert, in that it was a more than unusua l departure from current popular music . Let's hope that future mus ic wil l be as exciting and enjoyab le as the music this concert proved to exh ibit. Virgin Population Remains Same (CPS) Indiana Psychologist Elizabeth Mo- oney says reports of a sexual revolution on college campuses are probably exag- gerated. She believes students entering college now may just as likely be virgins as students of a generation ago. Dismissing the idea that there is a sexual revolution on campus, Mooney said reports of sexual permissiveness are getting a lot of attention while the "good news" of chastity has gone unnoticed. Pressure Decides Princeton, NJ (CPS) Encouragement from parents and friends appears to be the greatest influence on a college senior's decision to go on to graduate school, reports Educational Testing Service (ETS) in a study titled, The Graduates. ETS surveyed almost 21,000 students who were seniors in 94 colleges in 1971 to find out their career plans, values and ideals. About 50 percent of the students planning on graduate or professional school reported that pers1,Jasion from parents, friend, and relatives was a major factor in their decisions. Only one in four in this group said a college guidance counselor played a decisive role. Only one in ten said talks with a recruiter from a graduate school were strongly influential. HYSTEROSCOPYINVENTED (CPS) A new method for female steri- lization has been developed that requires no incision and takes only three or four minutes to perform, according to a re- cent report in the Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association. Under the new procedure, called hys- s=-teroseopy, -the physician- s·impty distends the womb and inserts a flex ible fiberop- tic "telescope" to visualize the fallopian tubes and admit a probe to sever the tubes which carry eggs from the ovaries to the womb.
