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.

The Dowagiac TAR's then took the stage and sang folk songs. They began with the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," following with "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," "This Land is Your Land,'' and "If I Had A Hammer." The audience joined in on "This Land is Your Land."

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

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.

instead of the mile, he captured tenth among 25 runners and over all looks like the SMC Track Club's best miler this early in the season.
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:
