THE POLEMIC, October 28, 1976, Page 4 . · L.e·t1ter From Student Se-nate By Kraig Knorr _ The Student Senate recently conducted a poll to obtain attitudes from students and faculty con- cerning the addition of a juke box to Van Lare Hall snack bar. Included in that survey was a space assigned for comments. The purpose of this ar- ticle is to provide feedback on a few of those stud- ent comments. Student: "I thought we were going to eliminate the pool table." Student Senate President: . There never were any . comments concerning the elimination of the pool table; not from the Student Senate. The amount of students who use the pool table is qu-ite a con- siderable amount! If you want it removed, draw up a petition, circulate it, and submit the signa- tures to us. Student: "Coat racks and more tables and chairs would be a great addition." President: The Senate is currently working on this suggestion. The possibility of these additions will - be greater when the Student Senate has a budget a n d ·v O t e f to work with! Student: "Couldn't the money be spent more wisely?" President: There is no expenditure of money. The company installing the juke box would take 50% of the profits with the other half being absorbed . by the Student Senate. to build the lpenaarea alpena 356·22-41 oss1neke posen ALPENA AREA: 3RD & CHISHOLM/MILLER & OLDFIELD . . . 2ND&RIPLEY/US23N.&W.LONG LK.RO./M-23&BAGLEYST. •. ..

Mr. Bob Jones and Mrs. c ·athy Spjgelmyre Greater !Interest in · Grap/hie Arts By Mike , Anderson Bob Jones, Graphic Arts instructor at ACC told the POLEMIC there has been a greater interest in the graphic arts in recent years. Mr. Jones attributes the new interest to the fact that more people are discovering what the graphic arts involve, and many see the field as a potential vocation. Not only is there a greater number of people en- tering the world of the graphic arts, but an increas- ingly larger number of the students Mr. Jones teaches are women. There are usually as many female re- presentatives as male. Mr. Jones said, "Some of my best students have been women." Graphic Arts, a visual form of artistic representa- tion, attracts not only the person who has a desire to learn a skill, but also the person who is or wants to be a creative individua1-;-able to perform many skills. Besides the greater interest in the Graphic Arts, there is now greater "elbow rbom" as a result of a new addition which was mad~ reai;jy for use for this new school year. Workers from the Concrete Tech- nology class began work on a· new wall last spring which would enclose an area of the receiving dock for the Besser Tech. Building. This enclosed area was then opened up into the Graphic Arts shop which gave the shop an additional 210 sq. ft. "We are very happy to have the additional space because it makes the shop a much safer place and gives the students more room to work," said Mr. Jones. "It made it possible to utilize the space we already had to our greatest advantage." Mr. Jones also said he is very grateful to all those who were responsible for the construction of the new wall. The Graphic Arts at ACC is a shared-time prog- ram whereby Alpena High and ACC can take ad~an- tage of the available shop and equipment. Mr. Jones shares the shop and its facilities with Mrs. Cathy Spigelmyre who teaches extended day classes for hig.h school students for the outlying school districts: #; 5 Rogers City, Alcona, Atlanta, Posen, and Hillman. ~ -·- ~ :~= i M~.
