Gov. Brewer Reviews ROTC ; Gives Speech

Gov. Albert Brewer told the student bzdy April 18 dur- ing Governor's Day, he is aware of the "pressing needs for resources among all of our institutions of higher learning" in the state. He said he is hopeful the legislature, now in special session, will "find the means to provide a t rue quality education to each young person in this state."

C o m ~ l e t e with a 19 - nun LOW Turnout salute and nearly 1,500 sharp - stepping ROTC ca- dets, the governor and members of the legislature and the JSU Board of Trustees attended several functions while on the cam- pus.

Following his speech, Gov. Brewer congratulat- e d the first 35 law en- forcement officers to com- plete a course in the new Department of Law En- forcement at Jax State, which the governor auth- orized he re las t fall.

He also congratulat5d the honor students at Jax Srate, as 'fhe Student Gov- ernment Association com- bined their annual program with Governor's Day.

Gov. Brewer then at- tended h is f i r s t Board of Trustees meeting on campus and had lunch in the new $1.5 million Stu-

Daylight Savings Time went into effect Sunday, and o u r current Gem of the Hills, Faye Snow, turns the clock back one hour. (Those who were responsible for turning the clock back an hour evidently never had a 7:30 a.m. class, else they wouldn't have done such a thing.)

Watch Who You Blame On ~ p r i l - 9 , three boys entered the lobby of Curtiss Hall

to pick up their dates. They left Curtiss Hall with a paint- ing of Ada Curtiss valued at over $100.

The interesting point about this "prank" is that when the boys were apprehended, they were not Jax State stu- dents. Infact, a large number of "students" who have been picked up by the campus police this year a r e not students at all. According to Chief James Jackson, they a r e people who a r e visiting friends in the dorms, dating JSU girls, o r sometimes they have no connection with anyone on campus.

An interesting point, true, in that the responsibility for a large number of vandalism pranks begins to take on a new look. It still res ts with the students, but indirectly. Example: the three boys mentioned above were apprehend- ed as a result of several witnesses turningin their license number.

The System How many times have you heard someone say "you

just can't beat the system?" Some brave individuals have tried this task to no avail. Most people agree that it is very hard to change a set pattern o r arrangement. At the same time, they a r e ready to point out that although the system seems durable, i t can be improved.

Everybody has a scheme o r n,-thod that is suposedly "unbeatable." This is shown by te ctbooks that a r e under-' lined, sentences plotted out by dirferent color markers, o r certain paragraphs blocked of. for emphasis. Using a standard procedure is very small when compared to a business establishment that serves the p ~ b l i c . ~

No matter how good a plan may he, there i s continual room to improve any existing order. Whether the rou- tine works like clockwork o r is just considered a good prac- tice, the method employed should be put to close inspec- tion periodically in order to see if any shortcomings a r e present. Veryfew systems a r e considered "error free" and that applies to the most updated equipment. One as- pect that should be brought into focus (but is often for- gotten) is the human element. When the human aspect is brought into full view, one usually discovers that mis- takes do occur in the most "perfect systems."

It 's Just A Rumor While San Francisco doom - prophets a r e predicting

California's breaking up into the Pacific, JSU's own rumor machine has beenwarning of a "sudden subterranean placement" of the new Student Commons Building.

Based on the ser ies of delays in opening the 1.2 mil- lion dollar building, the rumors developed greater im- pact recently when five plate glass windows on the lower level buckled and cracked.

According to the director of the auxiliary services, state building inspectors have assured the school that the building i s not sinking.

The delay, said director Jesse E. Fain, was in in-- stalling the curtain partition that closes off the stair- well at 4:30 when the top - floor offices close. Somehow, he theorizes, people assumed the delay was because of faulty construction.

(A hot food grill was originally to be installed, but an architectural mistake has delayed this.)

As f a r as the windows cracking, said Fain, the build- ing inspectors a r e still trying to figure that out. They believe it was a combinationcof the glass being miscut and placed too tightly to allow for expansion. Acting on this is a noticable vibration from air conditioning vents under each window.

"But ," said Fain emphatically, "they're sure the build- ing isn't sinking!"

Dear Mr. Smith, I would like to pay tr i-

Johnny Newman who died of leukemia. I am quot- ing a short essay from a card I received at grad- uation last year. What Is A Man

To receive a diploma re- quires a great deal of know- ledge.

To become a man also requires a great deal of knowledge - - knowledge of a different sort.

To become a man, you must learn to give - - to give your understanding, love, kindness, sympathy, and forgiveness to your neighbor; your energy, ideas, purposes, plans and principles to your work; your time, inspiration, en- couragement, and devotion to your country; to give, a s Emerson put it, "the only true gift. . . a portion of thyself".

To become a man you must learn to think - - to think for yourself, weigh- ing the evidence, seeking the truth, and then build- ing your life upon that truth; to develop a maturity with- out losing the simplicity of boyhood; to be able to real- ize that, "as a man think- eth in his heart, so is he".

To become a man you must learn to meet fail- ure--to resolve that iq you fail, you fail while ttying to succeed; to realize that you can't always control what happens to you, but

member that as -long as you keep your faith in God and in yourself, noth- ing can permanently defeat you.

To become a man you must learn to be a friend --to go more than halfway (with your fellowmen; to practice the companion - ship of silence as well as the magic of words that build, help, and encourage; to realize that the way to acquire a man's friend- ship is to be a friend to him.

To become a man you must learn to be humble --to create with humility, knowing that behind your

I read with interest your February 24,1969 Chanti - cleer. I refer particul- arly to your articles on Jax basketball.

The honoring of Coach Tom Roberson does our hearts out here in South Africa, real good.

As you know Coach Tom was out here in South Af- r ica last year with the Alabama Conference Inter- C o 1 1 e g i a te Basketball Team.

Everybody who was fort- unate enough to come in contact with Coach Tom, found him to be one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet, always willing to talk basketball and with all (See LETTERS, Page 3)

Cleveland Amory of New York, nationally syndicated columnist, critic and social historian, chats with Ann Briscoe (center) and Mary Ann Bellamy, right, both from Gadsden. Miss Briscoe is president of the Eng- lish Club and Miss Bellarny is president-elect. The JSU English Club sponsored Amory's trip.

Cleveland Amory Talks On Ills Of Television

Emphasizing the extent television has penetrated into the American home, Cleveland Amory told students and faculty here Tuesday night, April 15, that by the time a child reaches his 16th birthday, he will have spent 21,000 hours watching TV.

Amory, nationally syn- dicated columnist, critic, and social historian, cen- tered his speech on "Tele- vision, the Medium Med- ium."

Critical on umost ev- e r y phase of television, he blasted everything from sports broadcasting to commerCflal interrup - tions during the middle of news reports.

"If a f ree - for - all breaks out in a football game, the camera auto - matically focuses on the goal, Goodyear blimp, o r a passing plane while the sportscaster comments on the good spiri t of theplay- ers," Amory remarked.

With all i ts faults, Am- ory said television has occupied a place in our l ives which rivals the school, home and church. "In short, TV has raised i t s f i rs t generation, and they a r e now trying to dis- tinguish between fact and fantasy."

Amory blames the TV executives for poor pro-

# < grams. Someday, some bright television executive will realize that TV is be- '

ing programed not for the

mass, h t for the brass," he predicted.

Ironically, Amory said next seaon's programs will have less violence in them --but i t will be replaced by more sex.

"Television has a tre- mendous responsibility be- yond that of the theatre," he said. "It (TV) is a guest in your home and has ob- ligations not to offend you 'or use bad taste."

The power of the three major networks is enor- mous, according to Am- ory, who has worked for all of them. "They can elect anyone in the country by twisting the news," he said and added that J. P. Mor- gan was a "Boy Scout" when compared to today's TV executives.

The New Yorker fore- saw a new role for educa- tional TV networks. "They should have the last word in what's going on in the world today . . . i t should be the young people's med- ium, but i t isn't."

He said the two worst shows in TV today a re " D a r k S h a d o w s " and "Let's Make A Deal.'' The best thing Amory has been on the "mother - box" recently was "Mark Twain Tonight."

On another subject, the witty columnist declared that news programs should never lower themselves by doing advertisements.

His visit was sponsored by the JSU English Club.

Pell Says Gamecocks Will Have Good Team

Coach Charlie Pell, head football coach, be- lieves his f i rs t team at JSU will "be a good one, but whether it's good enough to win against folks like Troy, Florence, and Livingston, I don't know."

With that Pell summed up a brief review of spring training and sent some 30 newspaper writers and radio and TV men off to For t McClellan for the third annual Jax State P r e s s Golf Tournament.

In his brief talk with the newsmen, Pell also told newsmen a let ter from. the doctors in Gadsden said the autopsy on John- ny Newman could find nothing to connect his death witla football.

"Individually, I think we've come a jillion miles," said Pell. "But a s a team, we still have a long way to go. A long way. But these kids a r e starting to act like they love football. We had a great scrimmage Satur- day, and the spiri t of the kids is just wonderful.

"I think that spirit is

what has kept us going more than anything else."

Pell singled out JSU's linebackers a$ "proba- bly our strongest point. We have six we think can play. Ricky Weems, from out at Wellborn, is probably the best one; and Gary Godfrey is probably the second best. But God- frey, overall, is probably our best football player.

"We also have two re- ceivers we think can play

- .

with anybody in Bobby Munhall and Tony Ham- monds. Munhall is a little boy, but he just does ev- erything well. Hammonds is a big 6-4 transfer from Wyoming.

"Bubba Long has been moved to fullback, and that hasn't slowed him up one bit. Herby Wien- tjes is a fine little run- ner at tailback. He's just a little boy, but he's go a 400 heart.

"We also think we're in good shape at quarter- back. Doc Lett is back a s a sophomore, we have Mike Kelley, a transfer from Auburn who will be a sophomore, and then there's Phil1 Lee from Saks who will be a fresh- man this fall. They're young, but theyall have a lot of potential ."

Jax Comeback Falls Short; HC Wins 64

Jacksonville State Uni - with the loss. v e r s i t ~ could not n ~ u s t e r Craig Edge rapped out the effort to Overcome a a home run to pace the ~untingdon ~ o l & iead Gamecocks at the plate here last Monday after- while Gary Ledbetter fol- noon, and the Jaxmen lost, lowed up withtwo singles. 6-5.

The Gameccks had a brieflead over the visitors, 2-1 after three innings, but H u n t i n g don pushed across three runs in the fourth stanza and two in the fifth, and Jacksonville could never overcome the margin.

T h e Jaxmen brought home two tallies in the sixth, and one in the bot- tom of the seventh. but

Getting one single each were Bill Ashley, Jer - r y Brasseale, Tony Cog- gins, Ken Adams and Lowell Tew.

Abbott and Greg paced the victors with two sing- l e s each.

In the past few weeks there has been a shift in the ~acksoni i l le State 'backfield. Herby Wientjes, left, has moved in to Bubba Long's old position at running back. Long is now the starting fullback. Coach P a l had high praise for both of the players in last week's practices.

Backfield Shifts If spring performances

mean anything, and us- ually this is a fine mea- suring stick, Herby Wie- ntjes should make quite a debut at Jax State this fall.

"The Louisville Kid" was around all las t fall but a 160 - pound freshman's chances of getting in play- ing time behind the finest halfback at Jax in several years was like a fat tac- kle trying to catch a sprint champion. Bubba Long played almost every min- ute last season and Herby m o s t l y w a t c h e d and learned.

This spring, however, i t is a different story for the Louisville, Ky., na- tive, especially since Long has been shifted to fullback.

Wient jes, running on the f i r s t team all spring, has peeled off 221 yards on 55 carr ies in J a x State's f i rs t three scrim- mages fo r a 4.02 aver- age. In the process he scored four touchdowns. Only Long, with 306 yards

on 34 carries, has rushed for more yards.,

And while his running has been the eye - catch- ing part of H e r b y ' s spring antics, his block- ing has been his key asset, : according to Jax coach-' a '3 -0.

"He has more deter- mination to be a winning football player than any back on the squad and his blocking has been just tremendous," offen- sive coach Ron Haushal- t e r said of the little scoot- e r last week.

Wient jes' only bright moment last season came a ga i n s t University of Tennessee at Martin when he teamed with Long to lead a second half charge that upset the Vols, 16-12. Filling in at fullback for injured Mike i i t t le , Herby turned in several long runs to set up threepecond half field goals.

For the season his net total showed 108 yards on 19 attempts for a 5.6 aver-

age and one touchdown. The Gamecocks con-

tinued their spring drills las t week with emphasis on the kicking game.

Linksmen Lead ACC

J a c k s o n ville State's golf team reeled off their eighth victory of the season against only two losses by blasting Hunt- ingdon College here at the Anniston Country Club las t Monday afternoon.

Medalist honors went to Thomas Howard with a score of 71 while Larry Blackmon shot a 72, Tom- my Carter a 73, and Rob- e r t Purdy a 75.

The Gamecocks lead the Alabama Collegiate Conference with a 7-2 record. This is the most v i c t o r i e s Jacksonville has ever won in golf in a single season. - -

l ax State Track Program Looks To Bright Future The present doesn't look

too bright for the Jack- aonville State Track Team, but the future should hold some surprises for JSU opponents.

The team was ahead go- ing into the final two events with Berry College last Wednesday, but came up on the short end of the score 80-65.

The future, however, looks bright. Construction of an all-weather track will begin next year. A cross - country program will be initiated next fall, which should strengthen the team immensely. And

- probably most important Coach Seldon Daniels is actively recruiting new prospects.

The Students Commons

The Student Commons Building has been open only a little over a month, yet most students made the move from the old "grab" s o smoothly nothinglooks really out of place. The card games, pool games, and ping pong games still seem to continue without interruption on the f irst floor. The second floor study lounge presents a sharp contrast, though, to the point that one coed pictur- ed below appears to have been overcome by the quiet- ude. The third floor houses several offices including those of the SGA. The girl pictured bottom - right claims to be the secretary for out - goingvice - president Roger Killian. "He forces me to wait on him hand and foot," she said in explanation of her lack of shoes.
