G., Hospital Corps- man 3rd class, USN, posthumously, as a corpsman with a U.S. Marine helicopter squadron in the Republic Vietnam on the night ,of 22 Jun 1966. Petty Officer Creed was aboard the lead helicopter ~ on a medical evacuation mission seven miles north of Quang Tri when the aircraft landed in the midst of a fierce battle. Many Viet- namese troops lay wounded. Creed leaped onto the battlefield to organize the evacuation of the more seriously wounded, and loaded 10 casualties before boarding himself. On the 2nd trip into the battle area, he again left the helicopter, despite intense small arms fire and mortars in the zone, and loaded the rescue aircraft with ten mo'J:e wounded. He was killed before complete evacuation could _be aco;>mplished. Official Navy publication. "Meanwhile, American and Vietnamese soldiers' lives, and -far ·more_numerous Vietnamese civilian lives, are being taken day by day, and the whole of Vietnam, North and South, is being pro- gressively devastated. This is a terrible sin to have on one's con- science. It is human sacrifice to a false god - the god of national- ism." Arnold Toynbee. .•• and soon another surnme1' U'ill be upon m.

THE TIMBER-CRUISER The Question of God Discussed The question of all questions was asked at a large class of interested students in an open dis- cussion of Humanities, "Why do I need a God?' This question plus many more was asked of Reverend Saulsbury of the Trinity Episcopal Church and Father Miller of St. Bernard Church. What brought about these questions, which have plagued man for centuries? Well, it seems that Religion and the Modern Mind by Stace, which the Human- ities Class has been study- ing for quite a length of time, set many people won- dering and thinking of their God. In order to find some answers to these searching questions, class leader of the day, Terry Schmoldt, thought the most logical answer would be to engage two clergymen; namely, a protestant minister and a catholic priest to voice the beliefs of their particular denomination. The discussion started with the introduction of Reverend Saulsbury and. Father Miller. Reverend Saulsbury first gave a short summary of his idea of Religion and the Modern Mind and how they are Feally one and not separate. Then the discussion had an un,g,cheduled interruption, Wh Fme diseussion leader was - trying to talk, by a visiting teacher, ·which was granted in not trying to hold anyone against his will. Next, Father Miller stated his standing to a certain degree, then turned the disucssion into a ques- tion and answer period. Once again the ball was carried by the visiting teacher with the question, "Why do I need a God when I am great just the way I am?" This question, which leads into Existentialism and could be a class in itself, was expected by this visiting teacher to be an- swered in a few short min- utes by Reverend Saulsbury, Father Miller and Mrs. Mancuso. This question, which took almost the rest of the time, was gone over lightly much to the sighs, grunts and groans of the visiting teacher. This discussion was then brought to a close with the feeling in the air of just barely scratching the surface. A nice try and congratu- lations should be given to Mrs. Mancuso and her class for attempting to come up with an answer to such a complex question.

KEITH TITUS FINDS TIME FOR MANY THINGS Besides judging the ACC debate team, being mod- erator of the weekly "WACC" program, and speech instructor at ACC, Keith Titus somehow finds time for approximately 15 hours a week as director of the Alpena Civic Thea- ter. How he finds time for all these activities (while acting in or working behind the stage in all produc- tions), is a well kept secret. Over the past year there have been 5 productions at the Civic Theater includ- ing: "Everybody Loves Opel", "Death of A Sales- man", "God's Trom- Not Guilty (Continued from Page One) of reasonable doubt. The main actors were Jim Allyn and Mark Heint- zelman, and the other members of the cast truly held the play together. The comments that this reporter heard were to the effect that the play was well worth seeing. Director for the play was Jim Allyn. Buy U. S.

Of his experience, Mr. Titus had this to say: "The first year is always diffi- cult.

Through his endless work, Mr. Titus has de- manded the respect and ad- miration of his community, his colleagues and his stu- dents. ACC Class Is Making Survey The Community Recrea- tion Class at ACC is taking a survey to determine whether or not the city recreation program in Al- pena needs to be improved, If the survey is success- ful it will give the class the opinions of people from the junior high school level all the way up to . the elderly citizens of Alpena. Each class member has been given 30 question- naires in which 12 ques- tions pertaining to city rec- reation have been printed. The cl.ass members are to go from doo'"r-to-door in Alpena and have the people whom they contact answer these questions.
