CAMPUS UPDATE, October 24, 1979, Page 2 Editorial ACC future depends on autonomy The November 6 election on the K-12/College separation proves to be an important issue for area voters. Until about 1950, community col- leges through out the United States could only be organized by K-12 school districts. Every state enacted legislation after that period permit- ting colleges to form their own dis- tricts. Of the 10 Michigan colleges that have separated from the K-12 . district system, every one has grown in facilities, student enrollment, and services to the community. It is now obvious that ACC needs: a separate board to discuss its own policies. As of now, everything is channeled through the K-12 board for autnorization. This process puts unnecessary burden on both parties, and) takes up time needed by the K-12 for concentration on matters concerning them. ACC receives 1.5 mills in local taxes for operation. If the election for college independance is success- ful, there will be no tax increase. Furthermore, there will be no de- crease in taxes if the proposal is voted down. Juror judges local art exhibits The Jesse Besser Museum, Alpena, Michigan invites all artists living in the eleven county area of northeast Michigan to submit. work for the 1979 Annual Northeast Michigan Artist Juried Exhibit and Sale to be held Nov. 4-Dec. 16,1979.

Meet Lila Apsey, Jo DeCaire, Linda Hunt, Gerald © Karsten, and Barb Sumner, student tutors. They didn’t just walk off “the street to be student tutors. They come highly recommended by the instructors in the fields that the tutors have agreed to work in. 2 In my conversations with each ‘tutor, | asked why students shy a- ‘way from the L.S.C. The Obvious answer is that everyone that does- n’t come in is getting A’s. Right: Wrong. ‘Some students don’t real- ize they need help or are ashamed to admit they do.” said Jo DeCaire. She ‘tutors Biology, English, and Reading, while pursuing her own goals in the Medical Field. Barb Sumner capsulized the topic with the word “attitude”, most of it bad, on the students’ part, which pre- vents them from coming in and ex- ploring their full human potential. The most senior of the tutors is Lila Apsey, an alumnus of A.C.C. : with a degree in Art, who has re- turned to study Secretarial Science. Along with coordinating the pro- grams of instruction at the L.S.C., she tutors Reading and Writing. Tut-| oring for her is. rewarding when grateful students walk out with a greater understanding of the mater- ial in question. Accounting students should ad- dress their problems to Linda Hunt, whose own interests are in Account- ‘ing. She explained the Contract sy- stem of tutoring: If you need exten- sive help in a subject you may set up regular meetings seek help guarantee his or her availability. The tutor establishes a two way com- munication link with the student's instructor so progress may be mor- itored by the instructor and the in- structor may advise the tutor about important points that should be stressed. This communication aids the tutor and benefits the student. Gerald Karsten studies Data pro- cessing and tutors math. He real- izes that in any subject, when you have exhausted the instructors for an answer, then he says, “a fresh approach to a problem is always helpful, “because every instructor or tutor has a ‘pet’ way of present- ing difficult material.’”” But alas, there are only five tu- tors in a limited number of fields, and these five are seeking other students that would appreciete get- ting a humble hourly wage for help- ing other students. If you are pro- ficient in the Maths or Sciences, the . has a rewarding place for pose is to raise money for field trips, the Trooper Larry Forreider Mem- orial, Scholarship Fund, and and e- quipment which may be needed by the club. The club recently pur- chased furniture for the Law En- forcement office with funds raised by painting seven cabins at a resort near Black River, and contributed $1000 to the Forreider Scholarship Fund. Future fund raisers include a disco dance on November 2 at the armory, and a record raffle. Club members will sell tickets for the raf- ‘fle drawing to be held on Wednes- day, November 7, when several re- eord albums will be given away. in on the This year's Law Enforcement President; Robert Stone, Vice-Pres- dent; Marylou Nofthrop, Secret- ary; Lorraine Domke, Treasure; and Mr. Herman Bordewyk, Advisor.
