Rats We come JSU Sty Friday, Sept. 4. marked

the end of Rat Week. The new freshmen have finally been broken in by the Rat chairmen Randy Knox and Bill Gold and participat- ing upper classmen.

The rats ' hats, which a r - r ied about 16 days late, were sold Monday, Aug. 31. Tues- day the freshmen were given the honor of being taught the 41ma Mater and various cheers behind the Leone Cole Auditorium at 7 o'clock by the cheerleaders.

The freshmen, in grat- itude, rose at 5 o'clock and r an down to the town-square.

Apparently a few ra t s had forgotten about their night- ly showers but they were able to persuade a few of the Greeks to turn a water hose on them. At the town square they cheered, sang, and competed in a make- out contest.

Thursday, the annual Rat Court was held. Most of JSU's delinquent r a t s were released without life sen- tences. Later a dating game was held and the r a t s were entertained by the March- ing Southerners and the Bal- ler inas.

Randy Knox explained, "The purpose of Rat Week was to instill school spir- i t and to make the fresh- men feel a part of this campus. The purpose of Rat Week and the intention of the r a t committee was not to intimidate o r harass the freshmen, but to get them interested and involved in1 school activities."

The r a t s will probably ag ree that Rat Week was a success and that they now feel a part of the great JSU campus.

Vol. 1 Jacksonville (Ala.) State University-September 8, 1970 No. 1

A number of sweeping changes - - ranging f rom academics to sports -- and a vast construction pro - gram greeted the estimat- ed 6,500 students who now attend Jacksonville State University.

Classes began Sept. 3, some two weeks ear l ie r than previous te rms. This en- ables students to take their final exams before school le t s out for Christmas hol- idays, and will allow an in- ter im semester to be held for the f i rs t time.

An expanded curriculum will be offered a s the r e - sult of several additions to the faculty.

Dr . Theron Montgom - ery , dean of the univer - sity, said at least 14 doct- ora te degree holders a r e expected to be added. This will permit a major in soc- iology to be offered on the undergraduate level, the master of a r t s in political science to be available in the fall of 1971, and numerous other new courses to be offered on both the grad- uate and undergraduate le- vels.

JSU's two newest pro- grams, the nursing and law enforcement schools, a r e also being strengthened.

Jax State will be the only college in the s tate to have the facilities to offer a de- gree in law enforcement once Albert Brewer School of Law Enforcement is completed. This fall, cours- e s in criminal law, intro- duction to law enforcement, and evidence are being sche- duled.

The nursing program will offer either the bachelor's d e g r ee o r registered nurse title.

The interim, o r "mini - mester" will be heldfollow- ing the second semester ,

, f rom May 10 - June 5 . This

pioneer program will be oriented toward the more c r e a tive and innovative courses with seminar - type i n s t r u c t i o n . S u m m e r school will be held a s us-

ual, allowing a student to earn a s many a s 52 semes- te r hours per calendar year .

JSU students enrolled in the midst of a $10 mil - lion building program - with another $2 million planned before the end of the year. A business ad- ministration building, lib- r a ry , and a high - r i s e gir ls dormitory a r e now being constructed.

To be constructed Jat- - e r this year will be the $1 million Albert B'r e we r School of Law Enforcement, and the $1 million Lur- leen B. Wallace School of Nursing.

Merrill Hall, the new business administ r a t i o n building, will be ready for occupancy within the next few weeks. Built at a cost of $2 . million, the ultra- modern structure will be open to the public on Sept. 13 for dedication ceremonies.

To be the tallest build- ing in Northeast Alabama, the l ibrary will be complet- ed by September of 1971. It will be 12 stories tall and will cost over $5 1/2 million.

Ivo Sparkman Hall, the g i r l s dormitory, will also be completed in the fall of 1971. This s tructure will be 10 s tor ies tall and will of- f e r spacious suite - type rooms for 240 co - eds. There is already a waiting l i s t for students who wish to reside in the dormitory.

Work will begin within the next few m o n t h s ~ n a $300,- 000 center ior the Baptish

Campus Ministry. The Alabama Baptists will pay for the center, which will be built on campus.

Recent construction r r o - grams have expanded the campus to the point where a bus will be required fo r the f i r s t time this f a l l ' to transport students. The bus will make regular runs f rom the business adminis- tration building to other sections of the campus.

DR. COLE TO RETIRE

Dr. Houston Cole, 69, president of Jacksonville State University for the past 28 years, has announced his ret i re- ment effective June, 1971.

The announcement was made at afaculty m e e ting F riday, Aug. 28, and by a telegram to notify the board of trustees and Governor Albert Brewer.

"As f a r a s I am -concerned, the board of trustees i s f r ee to proceed with the task of selecting a successor," Cole said. He commented that he wanted no part of selecting the new president.

"After my ret i rement , I shall be on call, and without compensation, to serve the university whenever the op - portunity presents itself,'' the telegram said.

Cole, a native of For t Payne, graduated from Jackson- ville Normal School in the early 1930's. He earned a Master 's Degree and an honorary doctor of law at the University of Alabama and took further work at Columbia University and the University of Chicago.

He served a s Superintendent of Schools in the city of Guntersville and Tuscaloosa County and a s state director

DR. COLE

of Civil Defense before being named to lead Jacksonville State. He has also served a s moderator of a Sunday television panel show in Birmingham for several years.

Cole was appointed president of Jacksonville State Teacher's College in 1942 by the State Board of Educa- tion under Governor Frank Dixon. At that time the school had an enrollment of 199 and a campus of three build- ings.

To the students of Jacksonville State, Dr. Cole says: "For 28 years , i t has been my pleasure to work with- many fine student bodies at f i r s t Jacksonville State Teacher's College, Jacksonville State College, and now Jacksonville State University. It has been a thrill to s ee so many young ladies and gentlemen to come across the threshold of this institution and then go out to occupy important positions of service.

"It is a source of consolation to me a s I contemplati retirement to note that I can look back over these young men and women a s candles to cheer and sustain me.

"There will be no need for me around here after June 30 a s we will have dormitory and classrooms sufficient to s e rve the institution for the next ten years without addi- tional s tructures.

"I should be honored to see students at their con- venience during these next ten months of my tenure."

Rule Changes So f a r , women's liber-

For example, dormitories may be searched i f officials have evidence of a violation of dorp i tory rules . Girls living in dormitories now have a'"five minute grace" period before they a r e giv- en restriction.

This year back and side doors will be left open for the convenience of students moving and traveling. Rec-

Dean Jackson said the new ru les governing the gir ls living in dormitories came about after a s e r i e s of m e e t i n g s with delegates f rom each dorm. These g i r l s got samplings of changes the gir ls wanted and then they were discussed and voted upon.

EDITORIALS

Thom Simpson, Editor-in-Chief

Beer It is rather interesting to consider the news clipping from

The Jacksonville News which reported on Aug. 12, that the City Council voted unanimously, with one abstention, against the sale of beer in the city. The interesting points to ponder a r e simply these: F i rs t , the city of Jacksonville is having to revamp i ts present sewer system at the cost of $1.3 mil- lion; second, the city does not have the revenue to finance this project; third, as Ralph Johnson told the Council, beer is being consumed in Jacksonville; and fourth, the sale of beer in the city would provide a new source of revenue.

To repeat, the Council voted against the sa le uf beer. The rationale the city fathers employed to a r r ive at their decision is a rea l mystery. To confuse matters more, the Council voted to amend City Ordinance#72. The amend- ment to this ordinance raised the city sales tax from one per cent to two per cent. The increase in the sa les tax is "aimed to offset the city's cost of $1.3 million on their new sewer expansion program" reports the News. Could i t be that good economic opportunity does not make good legisla- tion?

Council

Votes Dry (E d i t o r 's Note: Taken

f rom The Jacksonville News, Aug. 12)

The Jacksonville C i t y Council in an Aug. 11 meet- ing voted against legaliz- ing the sale of beer in the town.

In the July 28 meeting, the council received one petition holding some 500 signatures in favor of the sa le of beer, and a second petition containing about the same number of signatures of persons against such sa les .

The petition in favor of beer sa les was presented by Ralph Johnson, who told the council, "It is a fact that beer is being consumed in Jacksonville, s o why not make something off it?" He further stated that the taxes collected on such sales would go far in helping fi- nance any new projects which may ar i se in the fu- ture. ,-

The second petition was presented by Clayton Young, who told the council that his petition was beidg backed by a number of ministers and church people in Jackson- ville.

After discussing the peti- tions, the council agreed to delay action on the matter.

The matter was reopened in Tuesday's meeting by Jack McNabb, a backer of the pro-beer petition. "I feel that the city is missing a bet," said McNabb in r e - gard to the sa le of beer. "Any time you miss a su re f i r e way of collecting reve- nue for the city i s , in my opinion, a sign of bad man- agement."

A motion was brought to vote that the sale of beer be legalized in Jacksonville. All councilmen voted against the motion with the exception of Councilman Theodore Fox, who abstained. Also at the meeting the council voted to amend Ordinance Num- ber 72 which was passed in the last meeting of the council. The ordinance calls for an increase in city s a l e s tax from one per cent to two per cent.

The tax increase, which is aimed to offset the city's cost of $1.3 million on their new sewer expansion pro- gram, was to take effect on Aug. 1. However, the ord- inance was amended so that i t became effective on Sept. 1.

THE STATE OF THE CAMPUS An Interview With SGA President Salter

by David Royal

The subject of this f i r s t Features section i s the s tate of the school. To a s - certain just what that condi- tion is , the Chanticleer in- terviewed SGA president lensa alter. G l e n i s a senior f rom Birmingham, originally f rom Memphis, Tenn., and graduated f rom Minor High School. He i s enrolled -in A d v a n c e d R O T C , a member of S c a b b a r d and B l a d e and a mem- b e r ofthe P e r s i a n Rifles. His major i s b u s i n e s s D. ~ o y a l and minor is econo- mics and political science. His plans for the future include graduating, enter - ing the service, and earn- ing a master 's degree. The interview, itself was Con- ducted a s a question and answer session.

The f i r s t question was in respect to the responsive- ness of the SGA to student demands in the past and in the coming year . Glen answered that, in the past, the SGA had, in his opin- ion, been as responsive a s possible to the needs of a majority of students. He stated that the SGA has always tried to plan ahead of the students for more

long range benefits, while remaining flexible to COV-

e r short - range needs. As f o r present respon - civeness, he pointed out the r e - zoning that has been ca r r i ed out and busingfacil- i t i es which a r e available to students who have c lasses in the new business adminis- tration building.

On the question of what actual power i s contained by the SGA, Salter replied that i t has the power grant- e d to i t by the new constitu- tion a s well a s financial resources of approximate- ly $25,000 per year .

The basic difference be- tween the old constitution and the new one a s stated by Glen i s the completion of a more detailed judicial section for the' campus. It gives the stu- dent a two - court system to utilize. If a student should disagree with the decision handed down by the f i r s t court, he can ca r ry his case to a higher court. (Ed. Note - - A complete ac- count of this system can be found in the new constitu- tion.)

In answer to the question of what a r e the basic causes of student' unrest throughout the country, Salter replied that, in his opinion, the main cause was a lack of com- munication between the gen- erations. This, he went on to say, was as much the fault of parents a s that of the student.

His reason for there being l e s s violence on the JSU campus than at others throughout the country i s that students here have in mind that, in a democracy, change i s made by due process . Students here , therefore, a r e more inclined to go through channels to a i r their gr iev- ances. He felt that this was good because i t not only s p a r e s damages and r i sk s of injury, but a lso brings about better and more effective settlements.

On the suggestion or ap- pointing a student commit- tee to devote itself ent i re- ly to r ace relations on campus, Salter replied that, a t present, there a r e no needs for such a committee.

He felt that racial problems do not exist on campus, and any that might come up could best be handled by personnel in the administration. He did say, however, that for a cam- pus with such problems, he would favor such a commit-

tee. As to whether tradition

should dictate policy in a college, Glen stated that the administration should de - cide school ~ o l i c y .

In r e f e r e i ce to the poll - taken las t spr ing on the abolishment of compulsory ROTC, Salter said that the vote was inaccurate and unrepresentative. The r ea - sons given for this view - point were that a number

that car ' t be adjusted "on shor t notice.''

And Dr. David Mathews, president of the Uni - versi ty of Alabama, Tus - caloosa campus, said he thought students were a1 - ready finding enough time outside their college hours to work in political cam - paigns .

Sen. Percy sent out let- te I-s to major college

of . unqualified students voted in the election and that a minority of students actually voted. Those un- qualified students, he ex- plained, were female stu- dents and male students who fo r legitimate reasons, were not required to schedule ROTC. Salter commented that he had talked to several of these sfudents and there- fore felt that he was justi- fied in making such a state- ment.

About the financial situa- tion of the SGA for the coming year , Glen said that he could foresee no difficul- t ies whatsoever. In defend- ing this statement, Glen r e - f e r r ed to various means of procuring money which the SGA has . Specific ones mentioned a r e juke boxes, rental of re f r igera tors , and the new Allied Arts fro- gram. In addition to this is the money received f rom the activities fee and the will- ingness of the administra- tion to help the SGA through smal l difficulties.

When asked why the stu- dent approved increase in the activities fee failed to go

-into effect, Glen s tated that there were three basic r ea - sons: (1) There were too few students who actually voted to make the vote truly representat ive of the cam- pus. (2) The board of - presidents dcluSS t h e country urging considera- tion for the plan, one back- e r s s.:-ly might help quell campus unrest .

Sinc2 such r ece s se s a r e out of the rea lm of con - gressi,or.al action, t h e sen- ator 's plan comes only a s a suggestion.

Several colleges and uni- vers i t i es already plan r e -

c e s se s including Prince- ton which p1ar.s to take a two - week break.

1 rus tees wants to keep Jacksonville the lowest cost- ing four-year collegeiri the s ta te . (3) The governor wants to hold the cost of education down to as low as possible.

To r a i s e more money for entertainment, an Allied Ar t s Program was s e t up. Under this program, stu- dents can purchase a card entitling them to attend free a l l SGA sponsored enter- tainment during the semes- t e r . The cost of those cards , Salter reported, i s $6 to $10.

Salter stated that the main objectives of his ad- ministration will be (1) to maintain and continue pro- g r ams now in effect. (2) bring more enter tainmeii~ to the campus. (3) create a student - teacher curricu- lum committee to de - velop recommendations for curriculum at Jackson - ville. Glen s t ressed the fact that the committee would only make recommen- dations. He said that the final decisions on cur- riculum a r e and should be made by the administra- tion. Students, in his opin- ion, may advise but should not have the power to dictate curr iculum.

In fulfillment of a cam- paign promise to the stu- dents, Glen has se t up office hours . Those hours will ap- pear in The Chanticleer as soon a s they a r e released.

Class time lost i s to be recovered by advancing the s t a r t of c lasses one week o r eliminating T h a n ksgiving holidays, staying in session an additional three days pr ior to Christmas o r sche- duling c lasses on Saturdays.

Alabama college pres - idents indicated no ground- swell of student backing for the plan, due in large part perhaps to the absence bf any major statewide cam - paign this fall.

OUTLOOK: THE GRIDIRON Excitement paces athletic competition. A game without

excitement o r thri l ls i s just dull. This year's Gamecock effort should lack no measure of excitement.

Early indications of the JSU gridiron pointed toward defensive team, the kind coaches love and fans deplore. As training progresses, however, i t seems that color may have seeped in via the offense. Returning quarter- back Doc Lett, white shoes, shaggy hair, and all may be a part of what is needed to spark some excitement.

Lett can and does throw the football and fans like to s ee open aerial football (ala Joe Willie). With Lett teamed up with Little All American possibility Mike Munhall, former basketball s ta r David Robinson, and receiver Bobby- Marcum perhaps thrills-are in s tore on the gridiron.

Football, being a s com- pletely unpredictableas i t is, I hazard the prediction that Jax State could well have a "Cinderella'' team on hand. The defense is there and the offense could develop into DOC Lett a dream.

The Gamecocks are young, only seven seniors , but some of the youth has experience and all have high hopes for the fall season. Some key losses must be filled, Bubba Long, Jackie Clark, Tony Ingram, Randy Hatfield, Billy Henderson, but there i s one child born to ca r ry on and Coach Charlie Pell should be able to find the needed replacements.

To venture a prediction, this season could go from 5-4 to 7-2 to 9-0, depend- ing on how good this "Cin- derella" fairy godmother happens to be.

Looking into the near fu- ture one must s ee Sam- ford's Bulldogs at Sam- ford. There would be no way to disregard the Bir- mingham clan a s a definite threat. Perhaps the proof in the pudding will be whether the JSU offense can penetrate the Samford ele- ven. It could be that play- ing on Birmingham sod could be SU's biggest ad- vantage.

Last season's ~ o s t Val- Gary Godfrey uable Player for JSU, Gary Godfrey, wil l be back at linebacker this season w i t h a hankerin' to run the ball. It's not real ly very surprising that Godfrey racked up three TD's in seven ca r r i e s las t season to lead the nation's linebackers in scoring because his prep ca ree r saw use as a fullback and la te r a begin- ning as a running back at Kansas State: A two way MVP, take another couple of those Charley Pel13

Everything always seems to be "bigger and better than last year." It appears that the inside line for this year's pigskin campaign may be just that.

Take for instance the defensive line, where Jimmy Mor- rison (190), Gene Preskitt (198), and David Radford (205) play end, and Sam Johnson (230) and George Por ter (243) s ta r t a t tackle. There's also Tim Cahoon (225), M i k e Mehurg (230), Ron Beauchan (224)' and several large fresh- men.

Coach Pell probably is most satisfied with his line- backers. These possess such well known players a s las t year's MVP, Gary Godfrey (210), Ricky Weems (205), Scotty Marcum (190), and Charley McRoberts (215). J im Martin at 198 and James Knox at 205 were trying to break in this group during spring drills.

The offensive line won't blow away in the wind with Bruce Nichols (240), Henry Hobbs (2001, and Wayne Carrol l (230) at tackles. The guards Te r ry Collins, Alan Paseur, and Mike Cundiff average about 210. With centers Jimmy Champion and John Chaney and tight ,end David Robinson al l around 220 the old story about small Jaxfootball teams may be ready fo r the circular file.

sume duties a s full - time athletic t rainer at Jack- sonville State University this fall. He is the f i r s t full - time athletic t rainer in the history of the school.

"We feel fortunate to get such an outstanding young man to help keep our ath- ' le tes in playing condition," Hopper, athletic director, said. "He will be a great asse t to our program, since .in the past, we have had only a student trainer."

"That's where I became interested in being a trainer," Jackson offered. "My high school coach encouraged it , and I really became more interested as I got more involved."

Jackson went on to Eastern Kentucky University in Rich- mond where he received a scholarship for three years a s a student trainer, and the fourth year was hired a s the assistant trainer. Last year , he served as full- t ime trainer at Eastern.

Jackson enrolled at East- e r n a s a pre - med stu - dent, but when the training 'scholarship came open, he decided to switch fields. He went on to graduate in May of 1970, with a major in physical education.
