CAMPUS UPDATE, November 21, 1979, Page 2 5 et Editorial Schools lack identification All schools, especially com- munity colleges, face the problem of ‘the lack of identification with the institution. Generally, students belong to a school only education- ally. They are not part of the school. Many times, students demonstrate a lack of loyalty, cohesiveness, and school spirit. - A community college aggravates the problem of a lack of identifica- tion. Many students attend school “from surrounding counties. The stud-- ent population consists of diverse ethnic and age groups. These factors do ‘not contribute to school unity. Of course, at a community col-~ lege like ACC it is impossible to achieve the identification that is present in a university. Yet there are pockets of unity at ACC. The Students residing in the Residence Hall are’ a microcosm themselves, the clubs bring together those who share common interests; student or- ganizations such as Campus Update, Earth, and Student Senate unite to achieve goals. Yet the most powerful magnetic force at ACC, isin the area of sports. For example the successful In- termural sports program, with the : iting flag football just se alike a sense of pride in ACC, as will the men’s and women’s bowl- ing leagues when they begin. The star attractions, though, are the ACC men’s and women’s basket- ball teams. These teams play to a “packed gymnasium while other com- munity colleges have more playing on the team than cheering in the Stands. The Lumberjacks and the Lum- berjills are the super-glue of ACC. Without them, there would be little identification at ACC. Yet, thanks to our excellent basketball teams, anyone can be proud to say “I at- tend school at ACC.”” Muscle contest scheduled Males and females will be flexing their biceps Monday, November 19 at 9:00 p.m. An Arm Wrestling con- test is scheduled to take place in _ the center section of the Residence Hall. Winners will receive $10.00 in prize money. Come on down and test your strength. The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa, ACC's honor society, is to recognize outstanding students and to give college students the incentive to achieve their goals. Members must rank high in moral character, leader- ship, and academic excellence. Becoming a member of Phi Theta Kappa is not easy. First, the advisor of the club recieves a list of all ACC students with a grade point average of 3.2 or better. He sends this list to all faculty members for approval or disapproval. Freshmen must be approved by at least three faculty members and sophomores by five to be eligible for membership. (If even one faculty member opposes a student's membership, that stud- ent is ineligible.) A letter is then < sent to each eligible student, invit- ing him to join Phi Theta Kappa. The student may choose not to join if he wishes. The students who decide to join attend a candlelight initiation cere- mony in the presence of family and friends, usually held in December. Here, they receive a certificate of membership from the National head Wee established to better prepare students at the Wurtsmith Air Force Branch of ACC for the business world by providing an environment for personal growth and develop- ment, and to encourage interaction between students and the business community. , 2 While the. emphasis of the club’s goals are directed toward the busi- hess student, the club is very inter- ested in having Law Enforcement Liberal Arts, Science, and Educa- tion students join its membership. The club membership believes that all occupations are a part of the business world. The club's history is brief, but its future is bright. The By-laws were signed one year ago in Sept- ember, 1978, and in that year, the club accomplished many things. The greatest accomplishment was the awarding of a scholarship for $100.00 to Kim Boswell for the Fall 1979. semester. The Business Club would like to make this a re- gular event every semester, and if enough funds can be raised, would Phi Theta Kappa recognizes students quarters, and become official mem- bers of Phi Theta Kappa. To retain membership, students must main- tain a 3.0 or better grade point aver- age. Various money-making activiti by the club help to finance initia- tion activities and an annual trip or tour. This year’s Phi Theta Kappa Pres- ident is Faye Donald and advisor is Dr. Richard Moreau. At the November 9, Phi Thetta Kappa meeting, club officers were appointed. These were John Garant as Vice President, and Cathy Mason as Treasurer. Planning began for the Decem- ber 9 initiation of new members at 7:00P.M. Fraternity members are urged to attend the November 30 meeting at 2:00 P.M. in the Learn- ing Skills Center to discuss the ar- rangements for initiation of these ACC students chosen the 1979 spring semester. Nominated students must notify Dr. Moreau by December 1, to participate in the Initiation ceremony. ships this year. Last year, the club sponsored the Readers’ Dinner Theatre which was a great success, and this, too, will become an annual affair. A Study and Learning Skills Workshop was first sponsored at Wurtsmith by the Business Club. Student response was such that it has now become a 5 week-1 credit class in College Survival Skills, The Business Club wants to continue being an effective student Organization, and to do so, it needs new faces, new ideas, and new chal- lenges. 1T NEEDS YOU! : Update accepts wishes Here’s your big chance to impress that special person you've been eye- ing in biology.
