Campus Update December 16,1981 Page 2 Editorial Page It has become clear that the decision to separate Alpena Community College from the Alpena K-12 schools was one that benefited the college in a way that wasn’t apparent at the time. The Alpena Public Schools and its financial problems are separate from the college, yet have taken their toll on the entire community. It may become apparent in’ the future that even though the college is separate from the other schools, , it may suffer in other ways. Certainly the extensive news coverage by all of the major news networks about the Alpena school dilemma wouldn't have left a positive view of the community to any person con- sidering moving here to attend college or for any reason. The passage of the millage solved one of the problems and opened the schools but the scars left behind will last for some time. The appar- ent hostility between those in favor of millage and those against is split- ting this community in half. Though elections are over, the hostility is still very apparent. The question of busing has been left up to the courts. It’s disheartening to see that we need the court system to tell us what is right for the community. : Alpena Community College may be separate from the K-12 school system, but it is not a separate part of this community; it thrives only if this community thrives. It is the students of ACC who must do anything and everything possible to pull this community back together, for the town’s sake as well as for the college. Alpena is not a bad town, nor are the people heartless. The last half of the word community spells out what this town needs: unity! It’s time we joined together for the good of this city and its educa- tional opportunities. Many of us received our education in this city’s schools and know how they rank in quality. Isn't it time that we, as college students at ACC, show the rest of the community that it’s time to unite for one cause, saving the dignity and pride that comes with be- ~ inga citizen of Alpena, ‘Michigan? f SAGINAW VALLEY STATE COLLEGE IN ALPENA y Winter 1982 Wanuary 11 - April 26 MONDAY 6:00 - 9:00 PM BUS 321 ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION The study of formal organizations and adminis- trative processes necessary for organizational effectiveness.

Though.this may seem a lit- tle hard, | believe there is probably poetic justice in there somewhere. At least there probably is. There- fore, I’ve written a poem. Due to popular demands, : Comes the return of the final exams. Oh why did it take us so long, To learn we're in classes where we don’t belong. Maybe students wouldn‘t be so mean and surly, I they'd start to study a little bit early. You can bet it doesn’t pay, To read ten chapters ina day. There are multiple choice, true/ false, and computer dot tests, But teachers who like Sen are really quite pests. On most of these there are ways to | cheat, “But essays, boy, they are tough to beat. All lis term papers are coming oe get started or you'll never get through. The teachers told you at the start of the year, You better pick a topic or they'll kiek in your rear. They’ll never believe that you weren't stable, Spending all those hours at the pool table. And even though euchre’s a won-- derful game, When you fail the test you’ll know who to blame. Cramming and repetition are good methods of study, Though for an A, sit behind a smart buddy. Some teachers don't give exams which is fine with me, But those that do should be put out to sea. | hope this poem comes out after exams, ~ lf I’m graded for this \'ll be inajam. | don't want this poem to end up uneven, so “Honor the Light Brigade, Noble Six Hundred.” PREDICTIONS FOR 1982. by Malcolm Hohiman Never before~ have Americans. expressed such deep rooted fear in the face of the coming year. 1982 holds more mysteries than we can ~ imagine. In trying times like these, the entire world must be prepared to seize every opportunity that can work to their advantage. In order to” accomplish this, we must have up to the minute information; better yet, beyond the present informa- tion. Here in an Update exclusive are ten major events that will shape our lives in 1982. 1. The Pacific Ocean will sink into California following a UFO sighting in Boulder, Colorado. 2. Ed Teckman, Update editor, will accept a post on the Alpena school board. Though his views will be considered ultra-radical, his pro- grams will instigate reforms with fantastic results. 3. The, S.T. Crapo will collide with an iceburg just north of Port Huron and be subsequently hijacked by Lybian commandoes. Before U.S. forces can intercept, however, the freighter will disappear in the Ber- muda Triangle. 4. Designer jeans will lose their popularity after the new wave band DEVO wear them during a surprise appearance on “Hill Street Blues’’. Less than six weeks later, a well Known actress-model will undergo intensive psychotherapy in a semi- cessful attempt to overcome aes psychosis brought upon by the “Devo incident’. 5. A now unknown leader will rule the world, with Posen becoming the “Qmnicapitol’’. 6. The Rev..
