Page iO POLEMIC A.C.C. Hosts M .A.C.R.O. Some 200 members of the Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (MAC RAO), gathered on our campus Monday and Tuesday, (November 5-6) for their annual state conference. Alpena Community College was coor- dinator for the activities which included a lunch and banquet at the Civic Center on Monday, and workshop sessions on A.C.C.'s campus Monday and Tuesday. MACRAO President Herschel L. Wal- lace of the Dearborn branch, University of Michigan, presided over the meetings with Douglas Wooley, of U. of M's. Ann Arbor campus taking over the presidency at the close of the conference. Austin Buchanan, director of admis- sions at Central Michigan University, delivered the keynote address entitled: Where to from Here?--lt's a Whole New Ball Game. Buchanan, with 16-plus years of exper- ience as the Central Michigan Director of admissions, discussed the role of the salesman-educator (admissions counselor) and the necessity to continue to act as an educational counselor. During the course of the two-day conference, there were 14 presentations, workshops and informational exchanges. These were held in Natural Resource Center, Besser Technical Center and Van Lare Hall. Many MACRAO members were bused around campus. Our college president, Dr. Herbert Stoutenburg, was a past president of MAC RAO A.C.C.'s registrar, Henry V. Valli, was the local arrangements chair- man. Richard Counsellor, Frank McCourt, Dean Souden, Owen Whitkopf, Louis Baca, Gary Lawrence, Jack Randall, and Betty Owen, all members of A.C.C.'s campus family, attended workshops dur- ing the conference. M.A.C.R.A.O. officials in action 'A took at-Your Cave A night at the cave ... Open from 7-12 midnight every night, the "Cave" is run under the SAO office and is operated by the Phi Sigma Beta Fraternity. Activities at the "Cave" this year include the SAO movie series which averages over eighty people per movie. Also some Sorotity and Fraternity meet- ings have been held there. Any club or or- ganization which would like to hold their meetings at the "Cave" should get in touch with the SAO office. The "Cave's" interior is very unique. Sand colored walls with a black ceiling set off by red print carpet and red burlap drapes. The fur".iture is rough, varnished wood. On the floor are large fur-covered cushions. The "Cave" has attracted college stu- dents who want a place to study, a place to meet friends, or just a place to go. A Dozen Reasons Why A.C.C. . IS Great I What does the number 12 mean to an Alpena Community College Student? Probably nothing at all, bi.it it's not the mere number 12 that we are dealing with here, it is the word organization which consists of 12 letters. Now I must pro- ceed to tell you why the word organiza- tion is an important one. Of course the number 12 pops up again, for there are 12 organizations, or clubs in operation on the college campus. To be more specific, the 12 organiza- tions are: Alpah Psi Omicron (Sorority), Phi Sigma Beta (Fraternity), Circle K, Golden Z, Vets Club, Law Enforcement Club, Forrestry Club, Ski Club, Fisheries Club, Chess Club, Phi Theta Kappa, and Cheerleaders. Recently I did some lengthly digging and came up with what I hope to be an accurate description of each: The Fraternity and Sorority are two social clubs that strive for "sisterhood" and "brotherhood" respectively. A close relationship between each member is dev- eloped, and through this a shaping of the chuckwagons, chips and pop. The "Cave's" sound system is currently being redone. Near future plans include the remodeling of a storage area into a conference room. Also a pool table will be added. Hungry? asks Rich Lambert November 1973 personality. Each ot these groups aid the community in various ways. Vets Club, is a service organization for veterans only, as the name implies. They sponsor vari- ous activities for the benefit of the com- munity. Golden Z, sponsored by the Zonta Club is a service organization whose goal is to serve the school, com- munity, and world. They do this by stag- ing events as the annual Snowball Dance, and Thunder Bay Classics. Circle K, spon- sored by the Kiwanis Club, does much the same as the Golden Z. Phi fheta Kap- pa, is an honorary fraternity that pro- motes scholarship and academic interest in the student body. Ski Club, Chess Club, Law Enforcemem: Club, Forrestry Club, Fisheries Club, and the Cheerleaders, are social clubs where members join with others who have the same interests in common. These clubs also have various activities which they sponsor. Each and everyone of these clubs in some way makes a contribution to the school and community, and without them aspects of Alpena Community College would certainly be missing! Sam Cuts Disc (CPS)--Senator Sam Ervin will release a phonograph record in time for Christmas. The Senate Watergate Committee chair- man has recorded a non-Watergate collec- tions, court cases, poetry, and talks on the Bible. Ervin also recites the words from Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and Pete Seeger's "If I Had A Hammer". The record, cut in the library of Ervin's North Carolina home includes the inter- ruptions of doorbell-ringing friends and neighbors and passing cars. According to Ervin's press secretary, Hall Smith, Ervin has not yet signed a con- tract with Columbia Records, which will produce the album. All royalties will be donated to an unspecified charity.
