Page2 THE TIMBER-CRUISER Frid~ January 17, 1964 News " .· --~ Editor Speaks To ACC Class 1 EDITORIAL: "SPORTSMAN . OF TH:E YEAR" • During the current 'edition of Sports lllustrated, a weekly published magazine which highlights the sporting eventsofthe world, National Football League Commission- er Pete Rosselle received the Sportsman of the Year award for his outstanding achievements in the field of sports- manship. The article goes on to say that Mr. Rosselle is a true leader in the N. F. L. for he has succeeded at the job of commissioner where others have failed miserably. The article backs up many of the numerous reasons be- hind Rosselle's statements to the press and concludes that he is an outstanding sportsman - Pete Rosselle, Sportsman of the Year. Pete Rosselle deserved rio such award and should be labeled as the "poor" Sportsman of the Year. During 1963 he has constantly shown the people of the United States what his thoughtlessness, and over-all "bad character" can do to the field of athletics. His de- cisions have been distasteful a.nd have come at wrong times. It will be remembered that the honorable ( ?) Ros- selle was the man who, suspended two, all-pro selection, players of the N. F. L. for placing small bets on their own teams, but his decision to play the scheduled Sunday N. F. L. games after the recent death of our President, John F. Kennedy, is an act which should never be forgotten. With th.e American Football League postponing their en- tire schedule for the day, Commissioner Rosselle stated that the N. F. L. games would be played in order not to add confusion to the schedule and a loss of gate receipts from the championship game in early January. Is this sportsmanship? The words to describe a man such as Pete Rosselle · would indeed b.e hard to set down upon paper. His un- patriotic actions show the people of America his true char- acter. His greed for money overrules his mind. Is this a man who could justly be labeled America's "Sportsman ~!'fflt:~~ . ' ' .

Van Simaeys Saluted Begin Semester Correctly Upon entering the second semester it would be wise to know that the second se- mester is more difficult than the first. How? And in what ways? First of all, the second semester is shorter. With the semester being short- er, the student has less time with his studies and more time to worry. Secondly, the time and effort the individual will . put forth academically will de c r e as e tremendously with the influence of spring. When the snow begihs leav- ing and the temperature rises, the student's initia- tive is lowered. 1 The best advice to over- ride these coming con- flictions would be to get your grade average high in the beginning of the semester, so that at the end of the semester you need not struggle. Mr. Pn1111p Ricnards,/ editor and general mana~ ger of "The Alpena News" spoke to the Tuesday jour- nalism class in the ab- sence of Mr. Orr. Mr. Richards spoke on the function of a newspaper, which is to inform the pub- lic of events of world and community interest. A newspaper should have a pleasing appearance, be well written and accurate. Switching topics for a few moments Mr. Rich- ards told of his trip, with a group of Michigan news- papermen, to Washington, D.C., and a luncheon with the late President Kennedy. This topic gave the class some first-hand informa- tion on how Mr. Kennedy conducted such meetings with the public and some sidelights on the man him- self. The class was also given some statistics on our "race" with the Soviet · Union, which showed that in a great many areas there is no need for concern on the part of the United - D.L. States. In order to have Grand Hotel on Mack- inac Island has the world's longest porch. I The University of Detroit is the world's largest Cath- olic university.

P-oints of im.,,..- ___,_,._.. portance, such as the role of advertising, were stressed by the use of 1anecdotes. From Mr. Richards' talk, one could see the con- nection between our de- .1ties of our building superintendent Mr. Walter Van Simaeys have often gone unnoticed by many of us. However, his proficient work was recently brought to the at- tention of the public when, ,during our national tragedy, the American flag at Alpena Community Col- lege was flown at half-mast for the mourning period of thirty days. evergreens. ------~----- . mocracy and its new~- Following • the regula- tions standards, which Mt. Van Simaeys did very pro- foundly, the college flag was flown at half staff 24 hours a day while being illuminated by use of four spotlights. This was the only place in the entire city of Alpena where such a practice was strictly fol- lowed. Commenting upon this patriotic task, Mr. Van Simaeys stated he,.felt it only "civic and rightful" that he perform this duty. It must be said that not only is he a credit to A.C.C. but also an outstanding, patriotic .citizen of our country. . ---1 r ,. - ~ t }-1:s i ,r ~: :':t\ {-1~ ! ,,.,.,.,,,..1_~ffe ... , i ,i 'Ji-:;-•/?,, . r,·, ._.i· 'it"i!'tt 1l ,,,.":>"--'.'"',_if\-}~:--~~' ;; ;::-:-: ,<~:{} l:il'1, i' ""J'(·, ·- ~r.-; \\~/-~,;.flr::·/J' .. ;~, \ J_ -,_."!:>;'} :_? r~ ,, ",,' <~ /t:/j...,-' ' ',) _,: '-~-.::. . : , /;t~>:, I • • \I I ' ~?
