the Lumberjack Editorial Millage effect The upcoming millage decision for ACC is vital to the schools future. This is not an exaggeration. Yet many of _ ACC'_'s students see1n disconcerte_Q at the votes outcome. Worse, some students seem to resent the ACC's millage drive. claiming it to be "pushy". The push to get students registered is indeed extensive, perhaps unprecedented at ACC. Even· rides have been offered to the Secretary of State's office. But many students continue to resist getting involved. This is another example of the ever-present student apathy at ACC. However, in this situation, unlike most others._ this apathy is a real threat to the college. Should the millage be defeated, the school will be forced into measures that decrease the value of this institution, both to the stu- dents and the community. Are those students who don't care aware of the potential program cuts? The possible tuition increases? What they don't know will certainly hurt them. After all, if the millage is defeated, we, the students, will be the ones most affected. It is to our mutual benefit to make a united effort to pass the millage. If we don't, if we fail to get behind our school, especially now, when the students of this college could decide the vot_e, we will be sending a message. It will say that raising tuition rates is okay by us. Cutting course selections is fine. The vote that will decide how this college operates next semester is approaching. As students, we will only be hurting ourselves if we ignore our responsibilities. The time has come for the apathy to stop. Vote. Lunatic continued plished through the proper channels.

It is published bi-monthly, September through May - except during vacations and examination periods - by the students of Alpena Com- munity College, Alpena, Michigan. AU ar- ticles published are the sole responsibility of the author(s), and the opinions expressed in such articles do not necessarily express the -;,iews of the ediwrs, the advisor, or the ad- ministration of Alpena Community College. The Lumberjack is printed by the Alpena News. ,. Student Activity Board approval. The SAB did grant Sefton permission to further investigate his plan, but did not grant him permission to - pay for blueprints to be made. Sefton has not paid for these blueprints to be made, and now with his disappear- ance, the new person who will take over has to deal with this problem. The last thing that Sefton has left undone was the _ organization of Casino Night to be held on March 13, 1987. Sefton had some of the paper- work done, .and tentative reservations had been made with Holiday Inn and Quality Bingo Supply, but the job wasn't finished. Sefton told the Senate that everything was done, . but investigation into this matter shows there are still many items not confirmed which will have to be handled by the Senate, putting extra work on everyone . . Sefton left the position with merely a note stating that he was going to Kentucky and he wanted NiGk Barraco, a fellow lunatic, to be in charge of the Casino Night. Barraco said that Sefton has dr'opped an extra burden on him and that i_t was extremely 11 March 1987 Letter - W AFB recognition Mr. Jeff Shelby, Editor Dear Jeff, February 24, 1987 It has been a concern of mine for sometime that the coverage given by _the Lumbeijack to WAFB news has been minimal at best. The article regarding the smoking policy in the February 18, 1987 issue prompts this letter to you. The smoking policy in .the Education Center at W AFB was not instituted by the Air Force. It came about as a result of the complaints of a group of students to the Air Force. It is unfor- -tunate that your reporter chose to omit this very important sen- tence from her article. As to the "billowing smoke" and the "growing resentment among students", I feel these _. are both gross exaggerations by your reporter as we have only two (2) smoking employees in the building that I know of, and the only resentment that has been expressed to this office has been by your reporter. I hardly feel that her own personal dislike for this policy warrants such an artic.le. I would like to see expanded coverage of W AFB news in future editions of The Lumberjack. While we do not have the sports events or dances to report, we do have a number of topics that are more deserving of coverage by your paper than the personal feelings of your reporter reg·arding our smoking policy in this building. Do you, or your readers, know that we have approximately l /3 of the total headcount of the college down here at Wurtsmith? Do you know that we will soon be opening our Science Lab? Do you know we have a _ Data Processing Lab? How many of y0ur readers know that our pro- grams down here amount to a lvt more than just "some classes at Wurtsmith?" If any of these topics have been given coverage lately, forgive me. I have no way of knowing because we never even receive The Lumberjack. How did I happen to get a copy this week? I feel that it's time to quit treating those of us at the Wurt- smith Center as "second-class citizens." We are just as much a part of the .wllege as those attending the main campus. Higher quality coverage of WAFB news will be greatly appreciated. Editor's response The Lumberjack is a news- paper which everything_ but the actual printing is done by the students of the journalism class held at Besser Technical Center. We do not student who (Wurtsmith or consider any attends ACC in Alpena) a .second class citizen. We are a student publication, how- inconsiderate. Rich LaMay, Senate Presi- dent, stated "Sefton had big goals. He looked at the final product, but didn't follow the proper procedures to achieve the fin a! product." When contacted, Rick Sefton said," The Lumberjack would be in big trouble if the)- -printed anything!" This Wl;IS _Sefton's only comment. Sincerely, Nancy Reinhart, Secretary WAFB Center (Ext. 295) ever, and can only r.:!i I on student participation to main- tain coverage of any and all parts of the college. Since the percentage of journalism stu- dents who attend the campus at Wurtsmith is less than the total, we can not possibly give "1/3" coverage to. the base. We do try to feature one story per issue. Concerning the smoking issue, thank you for your let- ter. We agree 'that the article was editorial in nature and should not have been granted front page. We understand Chuck Wiesen wrote a letter concerning the same issue, although we have not received it. _Please . accept our apology for the oversight. Approximately · 200 copies per printed issue are d-istribut- page· 2 Workshops .continued McCourt, Director of Career Planning and Placement Services, deals with the job search strategies and general job outlooks, the ser- vices available at ACC for pro- spective graduates, and also two computers in the placement office, SIGI and Discover, which help with career decisions. Feys, Placement Coordinator, helps with the filling out of credenti-al forms, assists in writing resumes, and maintains an active placement office. Jerry Doyle, Director of Human Resources, Besser Co. helps with the workshop by going over resume forms and informing students what employers are look- ing for in an employee. Nancy Green, Manager of Ad- ministration at Fletcher Paper Co., will talk about . how on~ should prepare for an interview and · discuss problems that many face when going for an interview - which is how to prepare, what to wear, and also, what to expect. Bruce Cummings, Personnel Manager at Abitibi-Price Co., is on hand to discuss how to survive the interview and aspects of star- ting a new job, such as how to make a good impression on one's· new employer. _ All in all if someone needs help in the area of job searching and placement, this workshop will give helpfµl strategies in each category and should be attended. Senate continued all set for Friday, March 13, at 8-1 2 pm at the Holidome. They are looking for people to run the event. All that is need- ed is -an ACC student ID to enter. Brian Husky, an enternainer and musician will be featured at the Holidome on Tuesday, March 31, from 7-9 pm and this event will be open to the public.
