And with Spring Come the New Fashions Besides tulips and daffodils, Spring always brings
a new fashion fever, as shown by Stark County Branch coeds who are discovering the new looks for '68. Betty Scott (far left) sports the new Bonnie & Clyde look in red, white and blue. The '30's flavor is achieved with a wood-trimmed, over-the-hip, sweater vest and pleated mini-skirt. Meg Blake (far right) is ready for a busy day on campus in her
brown body shirt with military accents and mini-cullotte skirt. Meg shows off accessories for an on-the-go coed which include a pink patent purse (center, left), perfect for those who travel light; the white felt Bonnie tarn, a perky topping for any outfit; and a beige leather safari bag with room for "necessities" and matching gloves trimmed with large zippers.

If you've noticed an unusual amount of tree climbing, flower^
throwing and rope jumping (as is the case of the two ADO pledges pictured here), do not be alarmed.
The campus has just passed a time cycle called Hell Week when Greek pledges are subjected to the commands (however asinine) of fraternity brothers and sisters.
• • • Two new officers were elected
at the last meeting if Sigma Chi Beta Sorority. They are Elaine Whiting, corresponding secretary, and Yolanda Kassay, treasurer.
• * * A Greek Council meeting was
held March 31. A committee was formed to or
ganize a handbook to be called "Go Greek" in order to promote a mutual Greek atmosphere.
It was decided that the president of each fraternity and sorority would draw up a constitution for the Greek Council and also will plan Greek Weekend, which is to be May 3-5.
The "Go Greek" campaign is underway and members of the Greek Council are working on a display which is to be set up in the showcase on the lower level. Edna Wong

Canton, Ohio
Volume 1, Number 3 April 17, 1968
By Annette Evans "I would say Martin King is the
real leader," stated Willie Pryor in the March 28th issue of Montage. Now Martin Luther King is dead. Members of the Montage staff have asked some Stark County Branch students for their reactions when they heard King had been assassinated.
'68 Event Planned September 9-13 is the tentative
date for the 1968 Freshman Orientation Program.
The student government, in cooperation with the Office of Student Affairs, will be handling the week-long program.
Designed to inform incoming freshmen about the Stark County Branch, the program will include mass lectures, group discussions, academic counseling, registration, and various social activities.
Any students interested in participating may apply in Room 216, the student government office.
Club Sponsors Choice 68 Apr. 24 Stark County Branch students
will vote April 24 in the National Collegiate Presidential Primary, CHOICE 68.
The primary is being coordinated on the campus by the Political Science Forum.
Voting will take place in the main lobby. The hours the polls will be open will be announced later by the Forum.
The names of approximately 11 candidates will be on the ballot, including Senators McCarthy and Kennedy, former Vice President Richard Nixon, New York's Governor Rockefeller and New York City's Mayor John Lindsay.
Students will also vote on a number of issues, including what military course the U. S. should follow in Viet Nam, what action the U. S. should take regarding the bombing of North Viet Nam, and what the country should do concerning domestic problems.
Members of t he Political Science

The production will be presented May 10-11 at 8 p. m. in the barn. Branch students are admitted free, non-students $1.00.
Forum organizing the primary here are Barb Tate, chairman, Schelie Dando, Gary Hammersley, Marlene Hays, John Kohl and Myrtle Rothwell.
The Forum, in conjunction with the Student Activities Board, will present syndicated columnist Sam Lubell in Lecture Hall 100 Friday, April 19.
Lubell To Speak Issues of the 1968 presidential
campaign will be discussed at 8:00 p. m. April 19 by Sam Lubell in Lecture Hall 100.
Lubell, political science writer, author and war correspondent, is a 1933 graduate of the School of Journalism at Columbia University. He was a Pulitzer Traveling Scholar in Europe in 1934.
In 1938, Lubell began writing for the Saturday Evening Post. During World War II, he worked with the Office of Facts and Figures and the Office of War Information.
Lubell began to report pre-election campaigns in 1952 by systematically interviewing voters in strategic voting areas. More than 100 newspapers were taking his articles in 1960.
By 1964, over 130 newspapers were using his syndicated column. In 1965, he began writing a new column called "The Battle for Your Mind." This column, which shows how public opinion methods are used to influence the public, is now read nationwide.
The lecture is free to Kent State University students.
Pledges Jump During 'Hell Week'
Students React to King Tragedy Michelle Adams: "It amazes me,
the ignorance of the man who did it, because it will just cause more trouble. It's a shame he preached non-violence and then was killed so violently."
John Arnold: "This is an unfortunate happening but I wasn't too surprised. If anything, the racial situation will become worse."
Randy Lemke: "It was a great setback for both the Negro and the white because Martin Luther King acted as a buffer between the races, as well as a great leader."
Shirley Bell Randy Lemke
Shirley Bell: "I feel a deep sense of sorrow and regret in regards to the death of a man who died for the benefits of all minority groups. Being a Negro, I personally feel that Rev. King died so that I and other members of other minority groups may be free. His works were so great that it leads me to believe his birthday should be celebrated nationally as those of famous and well-known white leaders, such as George Washington. I hope this is the end of assassinations in regard to civil rights and that this will be a great turning point for American citizens."
Gary Hammersley: "After King's death, people said 'Isn't this a sick country?' It wasn't the country that killed him, it was one man with a gun."
Art Show Set A sidewalk art show will be
sponsored by the Student Activities Board May 26.
The event is the first of i ts kind at the branch and will be open to all students.
Artwork of any type may be submitted — photographs, paintings, or sculpture. All paintings must be matted. All art must be labeled with the student's name and the price of the article if it is for sale.
Deadline for entries in Room 216 is May 13.
Randi Randell: "It has been so peaceful lately that it is kind of hard to imagine something like this is happening. It's pretty unreal but this is probably only the beginning."
Randi Randell Jim Wellock
Jim Wellock: "I think he's worked hard with the civil rights movement and with his death there's going to be a crisis this summer, especially if the assassin was a white man."
Lou Roth: "It was a real tragedy; something I never thought would happen. It's a shame it had to happen because he was a real leader."
Jane Emery: "Even though I didn't agree with everything he said and did, it was wrong for people to kill him just because his ideas were different from theirs."
Yolanda Kassay: "It looks bad for the U. S. because a country of our dignity is constantly under public criticism."
Denny White: "This will cause a lot more trouble and a great setback."
Paula Sullivan: "He was denied freedom to express what he believed. Not everyone agreed with what he stood for, but it didn't justify the taking of his life."
Bob Sullivan: "A tremendous loss to the American people, as a whole, which will not be fully realized until years in the future."
Joe Skvarenina: "King realized that violence is not the best means to the end and advocated a peaceful civil rights movement."
Henry Mc-Ghee: "I figure he was a great man and his life wasn't given in vain. He was truly a national hero. He didn't give his life just for the Negro. He helped make America a better place in wh
Henry McGhee h to live."

On Rows of Empty Seats By Yolanda Carbone
It's a shame that students at the Stark County Branch are throwing their money away. The spring cultural series which is sponsored by the S.A.B. and the Office of Student Affairs is paid for with student fees. Surprising then, isn't it, that the attendance is so poor?
Previously, students have complained about the lack of activities and college atmosphere at the Branch. So something was done to alleviate this situation—a very diversified program was set up and opened free of charge to all students.
Obviously, the students here feel they have all the culture they need. They don't want to waste their time going to such trivial events.
But maybe, if given half a chance, these programs would not be so trivial. They might be rather enlightening and maybe even entertaining.
The next program on April 19 will feature Sam Lubell, political science writer, author, correspondent, who will discuss 1968 presidential campaign issues. There is nothing trivial or uninteresting about that.
Even if a student is not politically oriented, he owes it to himself to be aware and informed of what's going on in his world. The students should give the programs a chance before they are condemned forever.
Good Luck, Ronnie! We would like to extend congratulations to Stark Branch student
Ronnie Harris who recently won his third and fourth national boxing titles. On March 20, he won his first 132-pound Golden Gloves championship in Salt Lake City, Utah. A few days later, Harris took his third consecutive AAU 132-pound title in a tourney at Maumee, Ohio.
Now it's on to the Olympic trials September 5-8 in Toledo. We join with the Branch student body in wishing him continued success, and we hope to see him in the Summer Olympics in Mexico City.
Letters to the Editor Editor:
In the March 28th issue of Montage, one of your columnists, Yo-landa Carbone, wrote an article suggesting at least one way that administration - student dialogue could be improved—by an open forum.
In response to this student's request, Mr. Jack D. Morehart, director of the Stark County Branch, has set aside Tuesday, April 23, at 3:00 p. m. for such a forum. Mr. Morehart will be available in Lecture Room 100 and will certainly welcome any student questions.
Sincerely, Warner D. Mendenhall Director of Student Affairs Stark County Branch

MONTAGE staffer Carolyn Miller interviewed Archie Moore and John Carradine, two participants in the Stark County Branch spring concert - lecture series. Here are their comments.
Moore What is the primary cause of
juvenile delinquency? According to Archie Moore, it
is disrespect. Moore, former world's light-
heavyweight boxing champion, is director of the National ABC (Any Boy Can) Program. He spoke at a press conference Saturday, March 30, before his discussion on juvenile delinquency in Lecture Hall 100.
"Disrespect," Moore said, "is a thing as tiny as a mustard Moore
Editor: We are Christians! We are to
imitate Christ, follow His example, live a Christ-like life. But how often do you see crowds gather to wait through the night for the doors of churches to open, as they did during George Day sales?
We call ourselves Christians but what are we trying to do? Maybe disown God. Maybe from our actions we are trying to tell Him, "We need you only in case of a national emergency: otherwise, we love money and bargains it buys."
Can we call ourselves Christians when we are trying to prove God is needed only in an emergency?
Whatever we are proving, we must remember we are Christians.

KSUSCB Weightlifters on Team Ron DeGregorio and Regis DeVenanzio plus two main campus
weightlifters will make up the team representing KSU in the NCAA weightlifting championships at Michigan State University May 10-11.
Ron, a third quarter junior at Kent State University Stark County, and Regis, a second quarter freshman who recently returned from Viet Nam, have been in dozens of contests in the Ohio area.
Ron, who lifts in the 165-pound class, has won first place in the Senior Lake Erie weightlifting championship and first place in the Junior Ohio weightlifting championship.
Regis has taken six first places, including first in the Junior Ohio and second in the Senior Lake Erie. Regis lifts in the 181-pound weight class and holds the Ohio-West Virginia Y.M.C.A. record in the snatch.
Meets Planned April 30, Kent State University
Stark County Branch will host a tennis and golf meet with KSU Ashtabula and will visit Ashtabula for return matches May 16.
Four tennis players and six golfers to represent Stark County will be determined this month.
In addition, Robert Kistler, HPE coordinator, announces an all-school swim meet will be held April 20 at Canton Jewish Community Center. Persons may enter by contacting Mr. Kistler in 102.
seed. It runs parallel with the smaller seed of marijuana. They both grow at an alarming rate in the same direction."
Disrespect begins in the home and continues in the churches and schools. Youngsters must be given moral and spiritual values to recognize right from wrong and learn respect. The ABC Program teaches such values, Moore said.
In the ABC Program, moral, spiritual and physical self-defense for the young is taught in alphabetical stages.
Carradine "I have guest-starred on just
about every television show except Batman."
These words, spoken by John Carradine, described his varied career which includes acting in the theatre, movies, television and opera; producing and directing and lecturing at college campuses. He appeared at the Stark County Branch Friday, March 8.
Type cast as a "nasty heavy" in his first film, Mr. Carradine has since widened his scope to star in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" on Broadway, tour six months with "J.B.," star in the musical "Oliver" in Illinois and appear in scores of films in-' eluding "Grapes of Wrath" and "Jesse James."
Mr. Carradine has been in the theatre 43 years and in movies 41 years. He has appeared in 374 films and 179 plays. He was out
of films from 1945-53, during which time he starred in eight B r o a d w a y plays.
This is his third season of college lectures. The first was 18 years ago. He is planning to
to continue his college lectures every spring.
Mr. Carradine entered show business as a scenic designer for Cecil B. DeMille, but he never actually designed any sets.
"You had to be an architect to work for DeMille," Mr. Carradine said. "I was an artist — a portrait artist — and a sculptor. I was a good draftsman, but I was not an architect."
Mr. Carradine is married and has seven sons, one of whom is an actor who starred in "Shane."
His permanent home is in Ox-nard, Calif., with his "front yard the Pacific Ocean." He spends much of his time sailing his 26-foot boat and occasionally sculpturing.

"All the ingredients to motivate," Moore said, "to change attitudes, to fortify all those youngsters who are not motivated to reach out and hitch to a star are included in the program."
The ABC Program is for all boys, Moore contended. It reaches the inner core of the city where Boy Scouts cannot. Through the program, the great potential that is in every child can surface. If a child wants to do something about himself, then he can be helped out of the ghetto. "Any boy can, if he wants to."
The ABC Program was begun in Vallejo, Calif., in 1965 in the midst of the original Watts riots.
There are 40 b oys at Vallejo between 8 and 15. In addition, there is a branch in San Diego and 10 planned this summer in Milwaukee. Moore is training adults to take over the Milwaukee branches this summer. The kind of people he needs, Moore declared, must be enthusiastic about youngsters and enthusiastic about their country.
"The U. S. is a great house with many rooms and wings. In the
basement live the forgotten people. If we do not allow these boys and girls in the ghetto to dream and utilize their potential and surface it, we are not allowing America to reach its full potential," Moore said.
It is up to all adults, Moore continued, to provide jobs with security and guaranteed advancement for the youths in the "poverty pockets" of the city.
Prevention of juvenile delinquency with youth centers and boys' clubs is many times cheaper than the cure, Moore pointed out. Each person pays between $15,000 and $25,000 in his lifetime for prisons when 7 in 10 boys will return to crime. This is compared to $3,000 i n a lifetime spent to put a boy" in ABC or similar programs and "set his foot right."
"This is the biggest fight of my life," Moore declared. "If I can make a boy feel important, feel part of something good, be proud of what he is and who he is, then I have accomplished something. This program is not the absolute answer, but it is, I think, a step in the right direction."

It's All in the Hand! Terry Hand tells us he will be the instructor of a class in Okinawian
karate here. Interested students (it's co-ed) should sign up in the main office. The course is non-credit and a small fee will be charged.
A pointer on the course: Any instructor will tell you that the most important thing in karate is a good Hand!
Question Department "I was very nearly run over in the parking lot by a speeding
car. Is anything being done to enforce the posted 15-m.p.h. speed limit?" Rather Fed-Up Sophomore.
We took this question to Director of Business Affairs Dale Wearstler, who answered, "Plans for security protection, including policing of the parking lot and drives, have been submitted to the Division of University Branches for approval. Action will be taken as soon as permission is granted."
