Hayden memorial loan established

Recently The Southwestern Michigan College Board of Trustees accepted a gift of over $1700 for the establishment of the Frederick R. Hayden Me­morial Sutdent Loan Fund. This initial sum was collected from among Hayden's many friends in the Cassopolis area. The loan program is the first and only student loan fund to date.

The loan fund is designed to provide short term financial as­sistance to SMC students. The college will administer the fund and the students will not be charged interest.

The loan fund was founded in memory of Frederick R. Hay­den, charter member of the SMC Board of Trustees who died last year. The presentation was made by Mrs. Frederick Hay­den, her son Bob, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hayden, parents of the late Mr. Hayden.

Dr. Nathan Ivey, president of the college, stated that contri­butions to be made by the Hay­den family will bring the total to $2000.

It was stated that, Mr. Hay­den was a highly respected busi­ness and community leader, a man who enjoyed people and his kindness and wholesome concern for others will be a lasting memory symbolized in the establishment of the Fred­erick R. Hayden Memorial Student Loan Fund."

SMC mascot to be choosen

Participation in extramural sports such as football, cross­country, and track has created a need for a team name and mascot. Students have spent a lot of time thinking of team names for intramural sports, but now a name is needed for our SMC extramural teams.

The student Senate set up a committee and suggestions box­es were put in each of the campus buildings. students who had suggestions were asked to submit them.

All the ideas were considered by the senate and the best ones were voted for. The list will next go to the Board of Trustees for their approval. The Board will return the approved list to the senate and the senate will be in charge of the vot­ing. All students will have a chance to vote for the best SMC mascot.

Young GOP in Lincoln

takes part Day fete

The Ca.ss CountyRepublicans staged their annual Lincoln Day Dinner at 7:00p.m., Monday, Feb. 12, at Diamond Harbor Inn in Cassopolis.

SMC' s Young Republicans, the CYR Club, participated in the program, the theme of which was youth involvement in poli-tics. Three area high school groups also participated in the program.

Eldon Ledman, County Chair­man, kicked off the ceremonies with a brief welcoming speech. He then introduced Ron "Gus" Kahler, president of theCYR's, who in turn introduced Larry Grosser, club advisor and Mas­ter of Ceremonies for the ban­quet. Mr. Grosser then intro­duced the Teen-Age Republicans (TAR) Club of Marcellus High School, who led in the Pledge of Allegiance. Following the invocation by the Rev. James D. Johnson of the United Church of Cassopolis, the steak dinner was s~rved.

2 THE SOU'WESTER, February 26, 1968

Editoral: Do we have a 'syndrome?' The unsigned letter in the last issued raised a question which

we fell deserves comment. The author of that letter suggested doubts as to the students' confidence. Never has any allegation toward Southwestern been more unfair.

From a. strictly entertainment aspect SMC does lack large and extrav~gant student activities, but it must be kept in mind that budgeted means and limited student participation have caused this, not the fact that we have only a short history.

In the field of administrative services SMC Ranks high. Under the leadership of experienced faculty and administrators all the necessary institutions have been established. The Student Services Committee, President's Round Table, and other organizations have paved the way for greater communication, a common problem last year.

Southwestern is also held in high esteem by the citizens of the area; citizens who voted a tax upon themselves to provide the facilities in which we learn. This is well demonstrated by the great many scholarships and gifts that were presented before the college even opened its doors.

Even though SMC is young it has undertaken some bold and imaginative projects which few colleges have tried. New courses in the liberal arts and vocational education programs as well as the projected museum are examples of this imagination.

Naturally there are some things which cannot be realized until time passes, such things as homecomings and alumni days. But we have to strain to think of too many more.

Doubles tourney held

The team of Bruce Baker and Jon Rivers won the IM Double Table Tennis Tournament by beating Jugo Munoz and Greg Lauver in the finals. Another faculty team, Bill Anderson and Dick Kingman captured third place.

3-Man entries due

The IM Office has announced that they will conduct a three man basketball tournament. The tourney will be a double elirni· nation affair and will begin Mon· day night, March 4. Students must organize their own teams. Full details can be found on the IM Bulletin Board.

Music Box By Norm Meiser

In recent weeks a new style and sound was introduced on the charts with the sweet strings of Paul Mauriats' Orchestra. His beautiful melody '' Love is Blue" has climbed to the num­ber one spot very rapidly. It has become so popular that musicians such as the Johnny Mann Singers and Al Martino have created their own vocal versions of Mauriats' most re­cent composition.

Paul Mauriat is a knowledg· able French arranger and corn­poser. For eight years he wrote music for singer Charles Azna­vour. In the past few years he has been the director of the orchestra at the well known Paris music hall L'Olympia.

Mauriat has a style of his own. He assembles together sounds of classical, jazz, and rock-and-roll into a tlnaltmique product which is matched by none. Paul Mauriat has drawn a different design in the music "pop" business of which many other orchestras are trying to copy, such as the Soleful strings. Although Mr. Maurlats' music has been somewhat limit­ed to the adults, he has re­cently popularized and display­ed himself to the younger set as well. I am positive that his current composition "Love is Blue'' will become a classic and never be forgotten. Mauriat has a very interesting way of combining music and he will have many more successfUl ar­rangements and compositions. This fine, fresh, French com­poser has flung himself into the popular music industry where he will stay.

Camelot By Paul Hanson

The film version of this mu­sical by the Messers. Lerner and Lowe is as extravagant as $15 million and the genius of Jack L. Warner could possibly make it. While formulated to follow the lead of the stage play, the flick sets its own precedent for the Round Table. Arthur's castle has been burnished to its highest luster yet.

Warner conceived of "Carne­lot" as a follow-up to his Aca· derny A ward winning "My Fair Lady," In doing this he stress­ed bold concepts and revolution­arey interpretations. The theme of the sets and decorations fol­lowed no stereotype of the Ar­thurian leg_end. John Truscott designed costumes to suggest an entirely new setting for the ledgendary Camelot. Warner casted an entirely new court to inhabit his $2,500,000 sets. No one from the Broadway presen­tation was used in the film.

By far the biggest surprise of the film was Vanessa Red­grave's portrayal of Guenevere. It was a surprise for I had only seen Miss Redgrave in "Blow­up." She seemed to assume a new poise. She WAS the queen of "Camelot."

Richard Harris was an ex­cellant choice for Arthur. As he said himself, "I was des­tined to play it." He has the brooding ternperrnent and ques­tioning nature to be King Arthur as his table cracks. Of no less­er importance is that Harris has an excellent voice, so nec­essary in a musical of such stature.

A disappointment to fans of Robert Goulet is that Sir Lance­lot is remarkably played by Franco Nero. Although Italian, he is more French than Goulet was, but just as romantic.

Of course the primary ele­ment of"Carnelot" is the score. It couldn't have sounded better. While a stage play presents something of the live perform­ance and excitrnent, a movie sound tract is so technically perfect it just has to sound wonderfully lush. However, sev­eral enjoyable songs were drop­ped, but the story-line ran along smoothly without them.

But the greatest impression carne from the entire visual effect. Expert cinematography and 70rnrn. film provide an al­most breathtaking experience. The audience was literally wisk­ed back 13 centuries.

I saw "Camelot" in the huge Warner Theater in Washington. When the film was over and the audience was leaving the theat­er I accidentally caused quite a sensation by asking the usher what city I was in. I was that taken up by the film.

Won, but lost Andrew Jackson did not be­

come president in 1824 even though he had the most elec­toral votes. No candidate had a majority, so the election went to the House ofRepresentatives, which voted by states. Henry Clay threw his support to John Quincy Adams, who won the presidency with the votes of 13 states.

Civil War Now Studied in Depth

On April 15, 1961, President Lincoln issued his call for 75,000 volunteers to suppress the rebellious confederates. A similar call went out several weeks ago; however, this time the situation was sornewho different for a southern born President named Ivey was urging unionist minded Michiganders to volunteer. Just as their forefathers, they responded enthusiastically, as over fifty students enrolled in a new Continuing Education course entitled "Michigan's Role in the Civil War."

Courses dealing with Civil War history are commonplace on university campuses but one that deals strictly with Michi­gan's role is rather unique. SMC's course is intended to ex­amine the involvement and con­tributions of Michigan soldiers and regiments in the war of re­bellion. Since no credit is given for the course, students are spared the usual requirements of assignments and examina­tions and need only sit back and relax - and occasionally dodge a stray bullet. The course is unique in still another re­spect for it consists of six lec­tures, each presented by a dif· ferent lecturer. Since Michi­gan historiography lacks any­thing approaching a definitive description of Michigan's Civ· il War participation, much of the material presented is non­available in published form and has resulted from extensive re­search.

The opening salvo was de­livered by Dr. Frederick D. Williams, Associate Professor of History at Michigan State University. Professor WUliarns who is a hightly regarded Civil War scholar, recently edited and published the Civil War letters of General James A. Garfield. Williams set the stage for examining Michigan's con· tributions to the war effort by describing the economic, poli­tical and social scene in the Wolverine State on the eve of Civil War. In appraising the significance of the War, Dr. Wil­liams concluded that it made "America safe for democracy and democracy safe for Amer­ica."

The second lecture was pre­sented by Mr. Robert Schultz, Procurement Manager of the Whirlpool Corporation in Ben­ton Harbor. His subject, the 19th Michigan Volunteer Infan­try Regiment, was of consider-

able local interest since the unit was organized in Dowagiac and its ranks were filled with Southwestern Michigan men. Extensive research has taken Schultz over many of the same routes, encampments and bat­tlefields experienced by the 19th Michigan. Mr. Schultz is a mem­ber of the Chicago Civil War Round Table.

F orthcorning lectures promise more of the same exciting and vivid recollection of Michigan men in blue. During the next session Mr. John Gillette will discuss the contributions of the 12th Michigan Infantry which was raised at Niles. Mr. Fil­lette is Vice President of the First National Bank of South­western Michigan, a member of the Michigan Civil War Cen­tennial Commission and is cur­rently writing a history of"his" regiment.

Mr. Merritt Long of Niles, brings up the 24th Michigan, next in the order of battle, as he recounts the military ex­ploits of Michigan's most re­nowned Civil War unit. Mr. Long, the owner of Long's Flor­ist and Greenhouses in Niles, is a member of the Mishawaka Civil War Round Table.

The fifth presentation fea­tures Mr. Lewis Capek, Vice President of Du-Wel Aluminum Products of Bangor, discussing the tools of war. This meeting of the class· should be a special treat since Mr. Capek has one of the finest personal collec­tions of Civil War weapons in the state. Mr. Capek will pre­sent his lecture in fUll Civil War uniform and will demon· strate h o w accouterments were worn. He also plans to bring along a representative sampling of Civil War muskets, hand guns and sabers.

The Apartment:

No student should be without one By EVELYN DENZ

The apa'rtment: no college student should be without one.

This article is dedicated to those college students who either by necessity or choice have left the nest and ventured to make a home of their own, the apartment.

It has been said that home is where you hang your hat. Well it seems that it is also where you throw your coat and your sweater and your gym clothes and your notebook and your dirty socks. It makes you won­der how 5 or 6 seemingly tidy people can make such a mess.

It's the cleaning and main­taining the necessities of the apartment that requires the most cooperation between the room mates. If someones clothes are strewn carelessly on the floor and furniture, step carefully around them. If you should step on them try shaking the footprint off or making it bigger so no one will know that it was you that did it.

Renting an apartment can mean many new experiences like oat meal for supper, paying rent, and rationed toilet paper. Since money presents the main problem, it seems the best way to keep the landlord (alias Simon Legree) away from the door is to share the rent with as many others as the Department of Health will allow.

Groceries, or the lack of them, present still another problem. Once they're. bought, all three of them, they have to be cooked. Of course pre­paring the food is not so much of a problem for girls since they possess natural talent in this area. But what about the boy who has never been in a kitchen? How do you cook a T.V. dinner if you can't work the oven?

Nothing is nicer than to be surrounded by friends, but try living with them. After moving in, instant distrust and greed arises. Soon everything is labeled, food, records, study

areas and clothes. Hiding places become scarce as each seeks to keep their own supply of candy, peanut butter, and any­thing else of value. The best way to survive is to be original :tnd practical in finding hiding places, but remember, ice ~ream does not keep under the t>ed and don't hide bread under the sofa cushions.

Ah yes. There is nothing lUite like apartment living 3xcept home maybe.

B&H offer new films

CHICAGO - "The new gen­eration of film audience is de­manding a new kind of film." With these words, the Bell & Howell Company, long a pioneer in the motion picture industry, announced its entry into the field of short-film dis­tribution to the college market.

"We are interested," said Bell & Howell president Peter G. Peterson, "infilmasexpres­sion, not product. These films are called experimental, under­ground, documentary, art. While all may not be brilliant or enduring, they are interest­ing, provocative, challenging."

Bell & Howell has arranged the films into 90-minute pro­grams in what is entitled its Art & Document collection. Pro­gram titles include Canadian Underground, Protest & Poli­tics, Historical Underground, International Underground, Ani­mation & Abstraction, The Scene, California Underground and The Teenage Underground.

According to a company spokesman, programs from the Art & Document collectionhave been shown at a select number of colleges and universities such as the University of Illi­nois, University of Hartford, Notre Dame and Colorado Col­lege and have been extremely well received by the hundreds of student and faculty viewers.

BASKETBALL LEAGUE STANDINGS

Thursday afternoon, Feb. 8, the SMC Track Clqb partici­pated in an invitational track meet held at Eastern Michi­gan University, Ypsilanti, Mich­igan.

There were approximately fifteen colleges represented. CQmpetition ranged from the junior college level represent­ed by SMC and Flint, to the larger four year universities such as Eastern, Wayne State and Western.

Although there was no actual team competition between the schools, the meet did provide Coach Ron Gunn with some evi­dence with which to measure the future capabilities of the Track Club.

One standout was the high jumping capabilities of Jim Evans who was able to clear the bar at 6 ft. 4 in. This enabled Evans to capture fourth place against the universities involved.

Aaron Wares showed the pos­sibility of becoming a strong contender for SMC in the mile run. Although he competed in the three mile run at Eastern

Friday, Feb. 16, the newly formed Golf Club had its first meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to organize all of the members and establish definite goals. The sponsor of the club, John Doyle, has taken the responsibility of organiza­tion and establishment. And he has secured the acceptance of the club through the Student Senate.

The purpose of the club is to engage in intercollegiate competition with colleges main­ly on the junior college level. Doyle is planning six to eight matches for this spring while already securing definite com­petition between SMC and Mus­kegon, Kellogg, Schoolcraft, and Glen oaks.

Until the weather improves the club is forced to practice inside using the armory gym. When the weather breaks prac­tice will be either at the Hamp. shire or Indian lake golf courses.

Nat N leks looks like the Track Club's best sprinter, and when backed up by steve Crocker, Jerry Ertman, and Garry Back­man there exists a strong 880 yard relay team. This team was able to place in the meet taking a fourth place with a time of 1 minute and 37 seconds.

Although they did not place, the mile relay team has strong possibilities and are earnestly working for a trip to the Drake Relays this spring. The team at present is composed of Bruce Watson, StevePotokar, Bill Val­entine, and Jim Evans with a possible shakedown and substi­tuting of runners, for as yet it is still too early in the season to tell exactly the structure of the team.

The next track meet is a junior college invitational scheduled on Saturday, March 2, at the Ferris State College Fieldhouse, Big Rapids.

and is based on the ability of the golfer. Doyle, who will act as coach and sponsor, is select­ing the members, and he en­courages those students on cam­pus who are proficient golfers to apply for membership in the club.

Currently the club has a full membership, however, Doyle pointed out that there are open­ings in the club if the pros­pective member's ability ex­ceeds that of a weaker member.

The current members are: Dave Nelson, Phil Bohling, John Kaniuga, Chuck Eminger, Mike Hand, George Verberg, Doug Melvin, Ron Mathews, Bob Hess, and Pete Kauffman.

The SMC Intramural Board, in remaining consistent with their policy of minimizing the importance of extrinsic a wards, has announced that champion­ship performers in IM events will receive attractive award certificates for their accom­plishments.

The board decided against giving more expensive awards, such as trophies or medals, for several reasons. First, the board members feel that the primary motive for participa­tion in IM sports is for the joy and gratification of play­ing the game. Also, they feel that such personal benefits as improved physical, social, mental, and emotional fitness are more valued by the player. And the board feels that the IM monies can be put to bet­ter use than for purchasing expensive awards:
