A tribute ta Jahn F. Kennedy Taken from the December 18, 1963, is.me of The Timber-Cruiser.

Kennedy, had died from wounds inflicted by the assassin. Either of the wounds , the throat or the head, could have been the fatal one. The nation went into a pe- riod of mourning.

His images, which reflected his physical fitness, his poise, and his ever present love of man, are to be honored and fought for by us, the people whom he loved. Any tribute, contribution, gift, or dedication would be meaningless if we forget the ide- als for which he fought so justly and so hard during his short term. As we live each day, it is only fitting and proper that we preserve this, the Kennedy im- age. ous minded with his immense schedule and duties of office, he had the personality of laughter and wit within him. We have lost a great man, but we must not loose his ideals and ways. We, as citizens and builders of tomorrow, must strive ahead using the founda- tion he has laid for us. The achievements he has left behind must not be forgotten for he has laid the path for the future. Let not his tribute fall from within our grasp.

Well, there's a lot of tasks one can accom- plish with a toothbrush, including spreading peanut but- ter on crackers. It took the combination of thoughts and tools of one small travelling group to invent this use. Someone packed peanut butter and crackers in their suit- case. The desire to eat among . the group instigated the presen- tation of food. However, the conventional tool for spreading peanut butter on crackers was not readily available. (They for- got to pack a knife.) Therefore, they resolved to use a handy little device called a finger. That got to be a sticky situation. Then someone sug- gested the hostess dip the crackers in the jar of peanut butter. The smooth textured pea- nut buttf!r began to take on a new appearance. At last some- one decided that all they really needed was an inanimate stiff instrument so another member of the party dug out their toothbrush and voila! It worked. Learning often takes place in groups which is why the Consortium 8 was set up. Com- munity colleges decided that if they periodically congregated to discuss common problems, the probability for a solution to evolve out of the discussion was very high. On Friday, April 6, Laura Hodgson, Noel Skiba, Beth Anderson, Terri Grant, Mary Kelley, Paul Meyers, Bill Faitel, Chuck Romanick, Tom Kane, and Henry Valli, representing Alpena Community College, met on the Northwestern Thankslorthe apples.

Among the list was student government. During the student govern- ment session, members discovered that some of the col- leges call it a student council and some call it a student senate. They both have the same basic responsibilities. They also The ref ore, they resolved to use a handy little device called afinggr . .. discovered that each student government is set up slightly different. For example, West Shore Community College has a vice-president of finances which is basically the same as a treasurer. All colleges in attendance wrestle with student apathy. They questioned the effective- ness of the introduction a new student receives to their college. President of Alpena Community College Student Senate Paul Meyers pointed out, "During ori- entation, most students don't know what's going on and by the time they know what is go- ing on, they are a sophomore." A brainstorming session took place among the group in an effort to improve orientation and increase student interest. Last year at Mid-Michigan Community College, during ori- entation, a video tape was shown of the previous year's student government. This visual aid im- proved student interest because they were presented an -image rather than an unimpressive name. It was suggested that the student newspaper interview each candidate with a picture accom- panying it. This, too, would introduce the students to their campus. Another measure was taken towards grasping student interest by the student govern- ment advisor at Mid-Michigan Community College. He chal- lenged students working the polls to get 300 students to vote. After being challenged they gathered 307. The group also discussed environmental problems. ACC and West Shore Community College have no central plac~ for students to gather which inhibits student unity. An activ- ity during the day is more difficult to plan and present when students are scattered. Student government mem- bers are not exempt from the crime of student apathy. Some members have a tendency to skip student geovernment meet- ings. The active student representatives showed consid- erable concern. Debo Atoyebi, a foreign student from Nigeria, Africa, said, "If you are not going to show up to a meeting, give a member a call. 11 A vote by proxy system for important matters when the representative found it impossible to attend was also suggested. The community college representatives departed to their respective institutions with tested and newborn ideas to apply towards future campus harmony. 11F'IVE STAR" QUALITY SERVICE AWARD DEALER, 0 LOUIS MOTOR SALES, INC.
