Assembly Wednesday, Oct. 31, was a very interesting and informative one.

Their purpose was to present the issues in the presidential campaign, trying to get students interested in voting.

First speaker, Charles Mc- Kay, stated that he wished to speak of the "primary issues to Alabama. I n the last three and a half years, t h e e has been a record of broken prom- ises", some of which he named as the TVA and the fann pro- @=. F$2 spoke of the Repub- lican slogan-"peacc, progress and prosperity. We have no peace, no progress, and wages have gpne up, but prices have gone up more." In referring to Charles W i 1 s o n's statement. "What is good for General Motors is good for the nation," McKay replied, "What is good for the common people in this country is what is good for the whole country."

Jacksonville's junior a n d freshman classes sponsored the' biggest entertainment on cam- pus t h i s semester. During October, the most appropriate festival was a Spooky Hallowe- en Carnival, and the name of this event was "Village Fair":

The carnival was the best and biggest one in the history of carnivals at , Jacksonville State College. ' ,

This event took place on Qc- tober 30, in the basement of Bibb Graves Hall. Jt filled every room on that floor.

Included in this entertiin- ment were games, such as, bingo, apple ljobbhg, cake walking, and many others. Grand prizes were given such as lamps, jewerly, cosmetics, stationery, and many other nice gifts. These gifts or prizes were donated by the merchants of Anniston, Gadsden, Piedmont, and Jacksonville..

Also, there was an exciting and bre~th-taking "house of horrors" which was a special feature of the festival.

Of course, no carnival would be complete ,without a fortune teller; evwone wanted to know what their future pro- mised and what their grades would be in certain courses.

One item that everyone was interested in after the fun and excitement was the concession stand. Many su~prises awaited everyone a t tkh booth.

The junior and freshman classes deserve a hearty well- done for their work and efforts. May your dance be even more of a success.

NALE SMITH

The most outstanding thing you remehber when you think of Billy Nale is his likeable, coatagious personality. He has gained numerous friends on the JacksonviUe campus by just being Billy.

A 21-year-old senior, Billy graduated fmm Hokes Bluff High School and came to Jack- sonville in 1953. When he graduates he will Carry with him a succesdi recorQ in one . ~ f the qost difficult, courses a v a i l a b l ~ math? major and physics minor.

Billy partkipates in intra- mural sports, Is a . first lieu@- ant in hig BOTC unit, and was elected reporter of the science ' club. An' active member of gaptist Student 'Unioh, he is now serving rrs =nda~( school representative for this organi- zation.

Last May the student body elected Billy Nale as vice- president, a position which he is now ably filling Recently he was appointed Chaplain of SGA, and on tog of aLl his &her honors, BiUy is a member of "WhQ's Who in American Col- leges' and' Umversities."

Our "veep'' stands 5' ll", weights 170 pbunds, and has brown hair and blue eyes. His hobbies? Probably the most important outside interest in Billy's life is a certain sopho- more girl, Shelby Thomas, with whom he has been frequently seen since school began!

Myrna Masters is thrilliid' about her role in "Picpic". She makes a lovely le ding lady. t Wedding bells have been ringing again. This time they were for Mary Ann Milam and J o b Hughes.

One of the cutest and stead- iest couples on. the campus Is Ann Cole and Joe Anglin.

Even though they a m ' 9 . twins, don't you think Way- mond Sheppard and Ralph Payne look alike

Lf you haven't heard Desma Thrasher sing and play the piano, you have a treat in store. Crawford says he can't hear what she is playing, be- cause he is too busy listening to the keys that are out of tune.

Donna Griffin and Nancy Chhstnut are always singing, "When My Dreamboat Comes Home." They are referring to their steadies,i who are in school at Southern Union Col- lege and the University.

Any tjme you hear Elyis Presley singing, you can bet'it is coming from Delores Haynes and Lynette Gilbreath's room. Peggy PresWtt likes him so much that she has papered her room with his pictures.

January, Helen has two majors, - S p a n i s h and mathe- matics. Her prinor is French Just by this you can tell that languages are a favorite with Helen.

Anyone who knows Helen can tell you her one and only pastime is The International House. Helen has been a mem- ber of the International House ever' since her freshman year at Jacksonville. She is now -wing as student president. - - Her job is to preside over all programs; make speeches for the different organizations of Alabama, along with many other duties of a president. Helen i s not only active as stu- dent president, she participates in all the song and dance groups which the International Eouse takes part in. Her job in t h e International House is mostly organizing.

Along with being active, in the International House, Helen has been a member of the Science Club, a very a&ve member of the Westminister Fellowship, and just recently was chosen to be one of the honored few to be named to "Who's Who In American Uni- versities and Colleges." She is a member of Alpha Mu Gamma in which she served as president last year, and treasurer the year before.

Being as active as Helen Smith is, you Would ask your- self what sort of grades does a girl like this .make. The answe-11 "A's" except for a few "B's". She was chosen valedictorian of her high school senior class just to prove this. Least year Helen avo taught an algebra class.

Helen loves anything that has to do wibh Spanish. She speaks Spanish very fluently. She spent two weeks in Cuba after she graduated from high school, and two years ago she spent almost all summer in Cuba W t i n g her roommate. She loves Latin music and classical music. Also she love3 any type of highly seasoned food.

Helen has a great love of reading, public speaking, phi- losophy and p s y c h o l o g y . Traveling is also very dear to her heart, m d someday she hopes to do a good bit of it. After graduation, or as soon

as possible Helen hopes to be- gin work ,on her Master's De- gree. She hopes to either study in Mexico or Spain. Helen would like to do some sort of international relations work. I'm sure everyone hould agree that she could do a splendid ji?b of this too. <'Studying S~anish literature", Helen says, "would be her major in gradu- ate work."

Helen says that if she were a crusader she would reform the educational system of the United States also.

Helen Smith is very weU liked among her fellow-class- mates and truly among the international @dents. I'm sure that the whole student body of Jacksonville State Cpllege will admit tihit no other gjrl b more deserving of the Collegian Spotlight of the Month.

School Spirit Low. By Kay Kirklarid

Jacksonville' students ! m a t -has happened to our school spirit? Are all of us afraid to y e a k out, act up, and let everybody know that Jacksonville is very much alive? At times i t has been actually pathetic to watch the crowd at pep rallim and football games. Half the stu- dents seem to be simply waiting and listening for some- thing to hapmn, unwilling to help make i t happen. The college team and cheerleaders exhibit just about all the H e in evi&nce a t football games. I am sure it must be very exasperatingftrying to lead a group of people in yells of enthusiasm who just sit and act as though the cheerleaders are there to put on a show for the football, audience.

This is not the only way in which we are' failing to support our school. Only one assembly has been held dur- ing this term, and attendance was good-but almost dl of the audience were freahmen who are requ@ed to attend anmay. I doubt that half the upper-dassmen were present. How can we expect ,to make our college better with each year unless we upper-classmen set the example for freshmen to follow? There is, for example, the incident of ra t caps-freshmen initiation. Here is something new which can prove a colorful and interesting part of a Jacksonville student's college life, and this first year might have ben a triumphant success. But, again, sophomores, .juniors, and seniors failed to show the rlght attittfdes, and instead of ending climatically, the "rat" season slowly -faded out.

The chapel program, a college projeet which we could end this yaw, k barely showing any progress at d l .

How can we, as individual students remedy' this &ithation?-h many ways! How* many organizations do you belong to? How hard ha? you worked to make the organization to which you belong successfuI? All the classes have had meetings .at least once, rlt believe. Did you attend your class meeting? Got any ideas $br $ a g * some situation on Jacksonville camp& better, or addirig something new? Have you bothered to 1Bt your i d a s be known to the right people? That is what our' SGA is for-to make our campus the best for you. Use your student government representatives ! There is another way you can hir your views. The C~fIe&;jl!~;vitegq.;rmd will gladly print contsrudive letters from stu&nts:.&flkr . all this paper is for your benefit.

Kid stuff, you ~ay--all this fuss about school spirit I You've h e a d the same thing preached over and over. Well, why don't we do something about it? You are a part of Jacksonville State C o l l e g ~ s big a part as anyone else. Try putting yourself into your campus life, and just see how much more your college will mean to you.

I DARE YOU!

Did You Promise? Election time seems to be a time of promises; Take

any student who is runqing tor a class office and mk him what he plans to do and you can,get every promise in t he book. But, election time is soon over and gone for another year.

A look at the people who got elected shows that they are proud to have won and have the title and their pictures in the papers. I t if3 indeed a great honor. Or. it was once upon a tirne.

Every class officer, dormitory officer k d organiza- tion officer who falls down o the job lowers the honor

I? a little lower than i t has bee before. A good indication of whether or not an officer is

doing a good job is usualljr apparent during homecoming. Many classes and dormitories failed to enter floats in the homecoming parade. As a result the parade was mall . Thanks to organizers such as Scabbard and. Blade, E.S.'U., C.A.P., Kappa Delta Pi, and, the Science Club and perhaps two or three other organizations the parade wasn't a flop. The dormitories, the classes, and several large organizations on the campus failed to enter any flats at all.

The trouble-simply this ; the class officers whowefe elected to be the leaders failed to lead. The sde responsi- bility falls on their shoulders. They may not like i t &is way, but yet they asked for responsibilty when they ran for office and now that they have it they don't seem to be able t o handb it.

' Officers, take notice of the job you are doing, and reform before you find the year gone and nothing accam- &shed.

Now for some praise where i t is due. A few and only a very few organizations are do in^ great work on the

As f a r a s game strategy is concerned the Gamecocks have two strikes against them to begin with. Both of them are strickly psychological. In the first place none of the players are any too happy about playing this one away from home-regardless of what happened here last year. Secondly, Florence like most other teams, plays best on her own home soil. Florence has already ex- pressed more than just a natural desire t o win this one. Those boys love to mess us up like a fox does a hen's nest. I haven't ever talked to Coach Self - matter of fact I don't even know him.
