A recent study completed by Mrs. Maiy Brown, head librarian at Gulf Coast Junior, College, showed that student book circula­tion for the fall semester this year reached 6,021 as; compared to the number of 3,649 for the fall semes­ter last year.

In announcing findings of the study, Dr. Richard Morley, Gulf Coast president, said that the in­creased book circulation was a 60 per cent jump over the corres­ponding period last year.

Total book circulation last year was 7,422.

Pleased with the increased book ' 'culatlon on the part of Gulf

/ast students. Dr. Morley stated jaat the high figure was obtained despite the limited facilities of the temporary library building used this year.

The new Gulf Coast library, al­ready under construction, is ex­pected to be completed sometime next: summer and ready for oc­cupancy by next September.

The Gulf Coast library, which started operations in 1957 with only a few hundred volumes, now has more than 8,100 books In Its collections. It also receives more than 180 periodicals and seven dally newspapers.

library recently received sixty records from the Columbia Rec­ord Company. The majority of the records are classical.

There are two records of hit Broadway plays with the o.riginal cast. These are "Bye Bye Birdie" and "A Thurber Carnival."

An album of sacred music by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir; a record entitled "The Big News of '59", narrated by Walter Cron-Mte; one by the Don Cossacks, a famous Russian choir, and an album of Kurt Weill's American theatre songs, sung by Lotte Len-ya, are included also.

Tlie remaining .54 are classical. These include violin solos, string ensenbles, piano and symphony, operas and symphonies.

Almost all the well-known com-posfirs are represented as well as some of the less known. Bach, Rachmanninoff, Schubert Brahms, ,'Verdl and Brahms are the most frequently named artists in the collection.

cluded Miss Lorraine Peterson, president; Marvin Stukey, v i c e -president; Peggy Underwood, secretary; a n d Edith Renfroe, treasurer.

Sponsor for the group, members of which must maintain a 3.0 point academic record and be con­sidered worthy of membership by College faculty members, is Miss Martha Ann Heath, speech in-st:ractor.

In her talk too the group, .Mrs. M a r t i n sumraari:?ed the role of the thinking person and listed several factors which handicap thinking. These factors included faulty attitudes, inability to Identify the real problem, in­adequate appraisal of evidence, and failure to see the m a n y sides to a question.

In emphasizing the achieve­ments of the group, she illustrated ways in which they had already applied problem solving and indi­cated ways in which they m a y look forward to using these same procedures in further study.

Challenging the group of honor students, Mrs. Martin reminded them that the world of today places a premium on identifica­tion with exceUence. She stated

that Pill Theta Kappa member­ship would be a valuable asset to the student as he sought admission in the business or professional woiid.

Mrs. Martin charged the honor students to remember that m a n as a group is chaotic, that it takes only one sound mind to make a sound decision, and that the prime obhgation of all is to develop self and then to help to develop others.'

In conclusion, she stated, "If you follow the changing whims and -ivishes of others, you too 'will be chaotic. If you accept yourself and develop yourself, you will be serene, sound and strong."

Mrs. Martin ended by charging the students to "Be yourself. Be what you were created to be. Press forward. Only you can be you. Only you can do for the world what it has the right to ex­pect from you."

New Phi Theta Kappa members are:

Victoria Potts, Penny Bunnell, Evelyn Collins, Diane Gilbert, W. Marshall, Carolyn Holley, Tho­mas Tucker, Jean Fleming, Pat­ricia Finklea, Marj' Jane Fagot, Martha Edmiston, Lawrence J, Davis, Evelyn Jan Tew, and Anne MIddleton.

A campaign to establish a Re­sident Graduate Center under the Florida Institute of Continuing University Studies in Panama City is being launched this week with the distribution of a questionnaire designed to determine community interest Is such a project.

The suiwey to determine com­munity Interest is being handled under the supervision of the Edu­cation Committee of the B a y County-Panama City Chamber of Commerce.

If plans for the Resident Gradu­ate Center materialize, citizens of Bay County a n d surrounding areas wlU have the opportunity to work toward advanced degrees without leaving Panama Qty.

The advanced studies offered by the Center also would aid persons who have completed all available study at the junior college level and who are now aiming f o r bachelor's degrees, although t h e Graduate Center is designed pri­marily for graduate students.

The questionnaire to determine community Interest In such a pro­ject Is being reprinted In full by the Panama City News-Herald, as well as being mailed out or other­wise distributed by the Chamber's Education Committee.

In addition, separate surveys will be made by personnel a n d education officials at Tyndall Air Force Base, the Navy Mine De­fense Laboratory, International Paper Company, Arizona Chemi­cal Company, and other groups which have a particular Interest In the establishment of a Resident Graduate Center in Panama Qty.

Purposes of the questionnaire ax'e to determine the need for the estabUshment of such a center In Panama City, to determine the extent of community interest, and to determine what courses should be offered when the program actually begins.

Bob Fiser, Education Com­mittee chairman and local busi­nessman, said this week t h a t Interested persons who fail to re­ceive a questionnaire may c l i p out and use the one being reprint­ed in the News-Herald.

Urging Interested persons to fill out the questionnaires and return them by mail to the Education Committee, Chamber of Com­merce, Panama City, Florida, Fiser added that additional ques­tionnaires may be obtained by contacting the Chamber.

The future of the Resident Graduate Center depends now on citizens of the community, he said.

The current survey climaxes several months of study and con­ferences among Chamber officials,

Enrollment at junior colleges In Florida has skyrocketed from 4,000 in 1957 to over 25,000 this year. Approximately 50,000 stu­dents attend four-year Institutions in the state.

For the past two years over one-third of Florida's graduating high school seniors have been en­rolling In junior colleges.

According to State School Super­intendent Thomas Bailey, the Sun­shine State leads the nation In junior college growth. The ulti­mate aim, Bailey says, is to place a Junior Callege within

Recent figures released by Ers­kine C. Key, registrar, show that approximately 40 out - of - county and eight out-of state students reg­istered for the current term, at Gulf Coast Junior College.

.Among the 11 different Florida counties represented, Gulf County had the majority with a total of 20 students registered.

Washington County had six stu­dents, Walton County had four. Fi'anklin County had three, and Broward County had two.

Counties represented by only one student were Madison, Gadsden, Jackson, Leon, Okaloosa, and Duval Counties.

leporf Shows College Pays Student M For Each Day

College graduates on the aver­age earn $240 lor each day spent attending classes, accordmg to a recent report by Dr. Frank S. Endlcott of Northwestern Uni­versity.

Dr. Endlcott stated that the U.S. Bureau of Census reports that the average college graduate earns over $175,000 more than a high school graduate in his Mfetlm.e; therefore, a student will earn ?44,000 for each year of college.

Dr, Endlcott then mamtains that the §44,000 more each year breaks down to 1240 a day spent in at­

tending classes, a point which is good to remember wh6n the temptation to cut class strikes students. In another vein of thought, Dr. Endlcott says that on the basis of these figures, the college pro­fessor wm add a total of $13,200,-000 to the earning' power of col-lege graduates during his 30 years evils of commiuiism'thanT'to ie^

By LAWRENCE MAHONEY Last May a precedent of wide

Impact was estabUshed when the Florida Legislature enacted a law making It mandatory for all Flori­da pubUc high schools to begin teaching In the fall of 1962 a six-week course on "Americanism -versus Communism.

The legislators laid the law down In unmistakable clarity: "The course shall lay particular emphasis upon the dangers of communism, the ways to fight communism, the evils of commu­nism, the fallacies of commu­nism, and the false doctrines of communism."

Going further: "The course. . . shall emphasize the free • enterprise - competitive economy of the United States of America as the one which produces higher wages, higher standards of living, greater personal freedom, and greater liberty than any other systcin of economics on the earth."

Florida, is the first state in the Nation to make by Law a communism course a requisite for high school students. A few other states have statues permitting or encouraging such courses. Many other states are closely observing the Florida experiment to deter­mine whether they want to enact such a law.

Florida educators, under the guidance of a 13 member advl-sory board, immediately began working to formulate such a course as called for in the legis­lative dhective. Soon they discov­ered tiiat it was, to say, the least, much easier to talk about the

expected, they have received the unsolicited advice of over a hun­dred individuals and, organiza­tions professing to know exactly what the course should be.

Questions yet unanswered for the educators are: What do you use for a textbook? To whom do you turn to as authorities on com­munism? What is essential and what can be left out of the course? How much help do teachers need, and what kind?

The committee set up to formu­late the course has recently pub­lished a 62 page teacher's guide which outlines the teacher's ap­proach to the subject, contains a list of 50 publications to be used as reference or outside reading, and enumerates the main points to be covered in the course.

In charge of the project Is Dr. Fred Turner, a West Floridlan and the state's textbook chief.

Turner says, "We believe the approach to communism is all-Important In any high school course. It isn't enough Just to compare or contrast the Russian system with ours, for that could lead to a distorted picture. What we must have is a critical analy­sis of the nature of communism, similar to that of a scientist who examines a poison in order to offset Its ilTeffect."

I am certainly not a proponent of war, but to compare the Ill-fated League of Nations and the events following its downfall to the United Nations and the p.res-ent world situation would be a decided misrepresentation of the global scene.

You said yourself in the editorial tliat the IJ.N. is much stronger than the League was; yet, it is still, not .solving any dynamic world problems; jior is It making any earth shaking strides toward world peace.

Has the U.N. stopped war or

of the United States so the Com­munists can continue global ag­gression, even creeping in through our own back door? What about continued Commuaist aggression In Europe; in Hm-igary?

The U.S. couldn't: keep the Com­munists from taKuig tills defense­less country in 195S due to its ob­ligations to the U.'N. Charter, yet the U.N, did nothi.ng to stop the Communist takeover.

There are many other cases also, where the U.N. .has proved Its uselessness; the war In Korea, the war In the Congo (It sent In troops but didn't stop a war), tlie Viet Nam hot spot, and the ex­tended war in Algeria.

These are facts, not just mere allegations.

One who warns of chauvenism.

emotional frenzy, should possibly heed his own warning and back up his declarations with facts in­stead of trite demagoguery which appeals to the emotions of irra­tional thinking pei'sons not "re­sponsible citizens of the 20th cen" hiry." NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST

Student Paper At Pennsylvania Given Suspension

PHILADELPHLV — The Dally Pennsyh'anian, the student news­paper of the University of Penn­sylvania, was suspended indefi­nitely yesterday. The paper is 77 years old.

The suspension order was sent by Robert Longley, dean of men, to the editor In cMef, MeMn Gold-stein* and read, "Until further notice pubhcation and distribution of the Dally Pennsylvanlan is sus­pended." Goldstein said Longley had refused' to give any explana­tion when questioned about the suspension.

Longley said by telephone, how­ever, that the suspension had been ordered because of "Irresponsible reporting since last April and dis* tasteful material culminating with a parody on a women's student body publication last Thursday."

Goldstein said the student groups backing Longley's, action were not representative of the stu­dent body.

(Reprinted from "The Publish­er's Auxiliary/' March 10, 1962).

The five objectives for the anti-communism course, as set by the teacher's guide are as follows.

-Develop a greater appreciation of the American heritage, demo­cratic process, freedom of oppor­tunity, enterprise under law, and the will to preserve freedom.

-Understand what the threat of commimism means to the' free­dom of Americans. •Achieve- a thorough under-, standing of the natures and evils of communism.

-Obtain the factual picture of communism In all aspects,

-Become awarf' cf ^he ,groi?r!dp upon which the free people of the world have condem.Red com­munism.

A conservative Representative from Jacksonville, Rep. George George Stallings, made a pubHc statement soon after the guide appeared: "I don't want to leave the student confused about social­ism. I want you to trace this thing from the first seeds of socialism into communism, and make It clear that, if you practice It long enough socialism will join into communism. I t should be all through this course."

Dr. Turner dissuaded Staffings by pointing out that socialism is a course of study witliln Itself and by stating that "there was pres­sure on us to paint the socialists and the communists \vlth the same brush. They overlook the fact that Mayor Willy Brandt of Berlin is one of Europe's leading soclaHsts and, at the same time, one of Europe's leading anti-communists."

"̂ rhe teacher's guide calls no names but etherise pulls no punches about extremist organi­zations.

It states; "Individuals and or-' ganizations who use the commu­nist label for everyone and every organization they do not hke, do damage in the battie against com­munism."

"The fact that communism is conspiratorial does not Justify the adoption of Its tactics to cope with the problem,"

In our opinion, the basic idea enveloping such a course is justi­fiably good. Certainly, yoU cannot fight your enemy if you cannot recognize him, understand his tac­tics, and have a working compre-heiKlon of his ultimate aim.

Communism, as It stands today, Is our enemy, and Florida's youth, along with the rest of the nation's youth, will be the :lnherltors of the struggle known as the cold war.

Tiiere is a gi-ave lack of under­standing of even our own' system in students who have reached col­lege. And most of them "know" one thing about communism-they think It's bad.

They don't know why it's bad, but through quick glances at newspapers and periodicals and haphazard listening to radio and television broadcasts, they have twisted misconceptions about the "Bad" enemy that their nation is struggling against.

However, such a course a s cal­led for by the anti-communism course law Avill, In the long run, prove inadequate. For ane thing, the course as called for In the law is only six-weks long.

An adequate understanding of both the American system and the communist system can be achiev­ed only through strong emphasis on a broad field of social studies.

Let high school students be taught two years of .American History; require two years of World History; emphasize civics and geography courses; Introduce political science Into the high schools; develop an adequate pro­gram of extracuiTlcular activities in the social studies field; and, above all, encourage free discus­sion and wide reading to all stu­dents.

A six-week Indoctrination is not the answer.

Another major reason why this plan is questionable Is that never before has any State L a w spelled out so explicitly what will be taught to every student in the classroom.

If the state legislature can say exactly how anti-communism Is' to be taught, will it :oot someday be Just as explicit about the teach­ing of American History, World History, and economics and, per­haps later, all the other subjects Offered In the curriculum?

This law needs a second look-through, both from the standpoint of educational effectiveness and the age-old question of academic freedom.

A six-weeks course can only produce a twisted Idea of the sub­ject for high school students. It can be said that a t\wsted idea is just as invaluable as a blank con­ception of a subject.

By-MIKE MAHONEY All over the nation people are

evaluating Kennedy and the Ken­nedy administration as a whole. While it is probably best to wait until after the entire four year term to give a complete evalua­tion of the administration, it is in­teresting to note the feelings of the public at this time.

Opinions range from the gross­ly derogatory to the extremely laudatory, but the general con­census Is that Kennedy has done an adequate Job and has perhaps gro%vn in office to the point where the remaining three years of his term are sure to show a marked improvement ui his executive abilities.

The opinions expressed below are from a cross section of Gulf Coast Junior College students who were asked how they would rate Kennedy, at this time, as a presi­dent.

.Diane Gilbert, sophomore; "The TCennedy administration has Drought a new youth, hfe, and vigor to the \1Tiite House and the American political scene. . Al­though I think Mrs. Kennedy has received moi'e publicity than is her due, she has greatly increased the economic Importance of Amer­ican fashion designers."

John Mann, freshman; "Com­pared with the Eisenhower admin­istration I think Kennedy has done a better job than Ike In the length of time he has been In of­fice. I think he's accomplished quite a bit in his first year."

Carolyn Holley, freshman; "I feel that President Kennedy has

against communism. This is due to increased public awarene.ss; a direct contrast to the apathy of the Eisenhower administration. I feel that Kennedy handled the Berlin situation very adequately."

Kay Locke, sophomore; He's done the best that he could. Ac­tually the policies that Kennedy has advocated are possibly the result of pohtical pressures and not those of his own choosing. One must remember that he rep-I'esents the entire TX)pulation and must act accordingly; not Just for the benefit of a few people now, but In terms of long range bene­fits."

Johnnv Cooley, freshman; "I think JFK has fulfilled his duty in a way commendable to Ms party. I also think he could have made a few decisions with a more foreslghted outlook, espe­cially in the fields of forei.gn af­fairs and segregation, where his decisions could' have been better.

Tom Stansley, sophomore; He's done a fair job standing up to Russia, but we don't hear much about his unemployment program. What happened? Although unable to vote, I would not east my vote for Kennedy for a second term. I don't approve of some of the appointments he has made to his cabinet, and I especially don't ap­prove of Bob Kennedy's appoint­ment to the office of Attorney General,"

Aubrey Littleton, freshman; "I think that Kennedy has done a very good job with the situation as it was before he took office. He has taken a firm .stand on scv-

done a more than adequate job | eral issues of foreign pohcy for

think that the United States will benefit very much ' from the Kennedy administration."

William Davie, sophomore; "The first year of office is al­ways one of the most difficult. At this time of his presidential ten­ure, Kennedy Is popularly be­hoved to have performed ade­quately; especially well under the conditions through which he has served. Certainly it is evident that- the forceful, djaiamic person­ality which Kennedy has carried to the White House has greatly enhanced national prestige."

Jan Tew, freshman: "He has at least kept our country In ex­istence for one more year."

Christine Owen, sophomore; " I think Kennedy has done an ex­cellent job during his first year in the Presidency. He has met with the heads of foreign coun­tries and he has displayed the diplomacy that has characterized America for centuries."

Pete Smith, freshman; *T think the Kennedy administration has done a fine job dealing with the continuation of atmospheric test­ing because this puts the Russians in a spot where only they can stop our testing by agreeing to international inspections and dis­armament."

Johnny Cope, sophomore; "Sr far I think Kennedy is doing fine job of leading our counti Personally I am glad that w have a younger, more energetic president for a change. Although Kennedy Is younger than any.of our preceding presidents, I still feel that he is old enough to make wise decisions and gain world-

as president. President Kennedy has returned the office of Presi­dent to a key position in deter­mining national policies. I feeU that his versatility In world af­fairs has made this possible,"

Johnny Gray, freshman; "I feel that Kennedy has done a veiy good job so far, especially in the stand he has taken against the John Birch society. I congratu­late him on making this stand and heartily approve of it- myself."

Lanelle Keebler, freshman; "I think that as President he has done a great job in keeping the United States at peace, so far. I feel that his appointment of Robert Kennedy as Attorney Gen­eral was not altogether wise at the time. I 'm not saying that Bob can't do an adequate job, but ttie relationship factor' looks bad in the public eye."

Vernon Kendrick, freshman; "Kennedy has done the best that could be done by anyone at this time. Prosperity has increased and we have a better stand

which I admire him greatly, I mde respect for us ."

Dean M'Urphy To Take Part n JC Meet HtUTy N, Murphy, dean at

Gulf Coast Junior College, re­cently accepted an Invitation to appear In the fix'st annual Con­ference for Junioor College Student Personnel Workers, scheduled to be held June 22. 23 at Florida State University,

Dean Murphy was asked to .pre­sent Ms view of cri'tical issues in regard to junior college ad­missions at the -state-wide meet­ing, as well as serve as a resoOTce person during the two-day meet­ing.

The invitation was extended to Dean Murphy by Dr. Melvone Draheim Hardee, coordlnatoi" of student personnel se.rvices at Florida State University.

The Gulf CoHsl Junioi' (''ollegej C;ommodores, a yo-.yo team that bounced from greatness to .medi­ocrity ail year, closed out their 1961-62 tiasketball season in the same fashion which they had dis­played for four long months.

They .romped to a 99-66 victory over Central Florida Junior CoL lege February 8 in 1:he first of a five game home series, but. lost the next .four in as thrilling a series of basketball encounters as ever viewed in Panama City,

Typically, however, the Commo-do:res then rendered their worst petformance of the year February 27 in Tallahassee against the Flor­ida State University Freshmen as they were clobbered to the tune of 96-49.

.Enterliig the Florida Junior Col­lege Basketball Tournament held at St Pelersburg March 1 - 3. the (Commodores bounced back up the yo-yo string by meeting the top-ranking squad in the 12-team league, playing them to a stand­still, and finally dropping a 72-62 decision.

It was the te.nth game of the year which the Commodores had dropped by ten points or less.

Four .such defeats came in the last four home games of the year. The Conuiiodores were beaten 77-74 by Florida Military College, 98-89 by Chipola Junior College. 77-72 by Pensacola Junior College, and 78-70 by the FSU Frosh, re­spectively.

All were heartbreaker'S, but the (liipola clash was a grave-digger. Up for the match, the (Commo­dores took an early lead, played inspirational t>all th.roughout the game, liad a 17-poi:nt lead with less than two minutes left to play

. . . and blew it. Commodore fans still don't like

to talk about it, for Chipola Jun­ior College then went into an over­time period and walked up with the final 96-89 victory.

It was a blow that might have completely destroyed a squad of weaker men than wore the Com­modore uniform this year, but the GCJC cagers gave home-town fans two more doses of exciting basketball before the curtain clos­ed on the year's home games.

In the first. Gulf Coast went up against Pensacola Junior College, number one team in the Northern Division of the Junior College loop, swapped- • leads-" with' them throughout, and finally lost, 77-72.

Pensacola Coach Lou Gregory got so disgi'tsted at one point that he walked off the court after un­successfully t:ryihg to take his team with Mm.

After dropping another dose en­counter, this time to the FSU Frosh, the GCJC cagers traveled to Tallahassee for a retura match on February 27. ' FSU clobbered them 96-49.

Commodore Coach Roland Vines got so disgusted witb his charges that he later refused to release any .statistics on the tilt, saying "it was only a practice game and nobody wants to know about it."

Their last defeat left the Com­modores with a five-won, 13-lost record for regular season play. Even so, It was a good enough mark to entitle them to a berth in the Florida Junior College play­off Mach 1-3. ,

The bottom-ranked team in the '. tourney, the Commodores went up

agau.ist the top - .ranking team, Dade County Junior CoUege, in what everyone but Gulf Coast fig­ured was a losing cause.

Quite typically again, Gulf Coast started slow and was be­iiind 45-27 at half time. Quite typi­cally also, they c:ame charging back in the second half to close the gap to 64-60 in the waning minutes before Dade County put on the pressure and ended with a 72-62 victory.

Buddy Ward, the Commodores' big gun the past two years, led his mates for a final time by tal­lying 17 points. Joe MrKlnney Mt for 15 and Vince Tharpe scored .11 pointSv.-".r̂ ^

Dade County was beaten in the final game of the junior college tourney by St. Leo Junior College —- a team the Commodores, had previously beaten during' the reg­ular season by a 72-71 scoi'e.

Ward, a Commodore star from start to finish, ended the season with a total of 356 points in 18 games, the last FSU clash not counted. It gave him a season's average of 19.8 points per tilt, and ranked Mm third in individual scoring In the overall confei'ence.

His 355 points this year, when added to the 445 points he scored last year in 23 games, gives him a two-year total of more than 800 points — a record that might stand for many years,

TralHng Ward in scoring tMs year were Joe McKlnney, who had 224 points In 17 games for an average of 13.2; Larry Godwin, who had 180 points in 18 games for a 10.0 average; Vice Tharpe, who had 153 points in 11 .games for a 9.0 average; and Bobby Bur­kett, who totaled 119 points In 18 games for a 6.6 average.

Nationa

Contest Open For One of our students, here on this

campus, could be the next Na­tional College Queen, an annual event sponsored throughout the nation.

The annual search is on to select and to honor "the nation's most outstanding college girl". She will be intelligent, attractive, and will typify collegiate women throughout America. She will re­ceive a trip to Europe as one of her prizes, as well as win an auto­mobile, a diamond ring, and many other awards.

All undergraduate girls, from freshmen through and includmg seniors, are eligible. You merely apply for a free entry blank. For seven years, other colleges and uMverslties across the nation have won honors by having their candidates compete.

Judging is based on each girl's scholastic accomphshments as well as her appearance. Regional winners will receive a trip to New York'City, where the 1962 Nation­al College ^ueen Pageant will be held In June.

The entire Pageant will be a highhght of the "New York Is A Summer Festival" celebration, sponsored by the New York Con­vention and Visitors Bureau.

To enter, stop m at Armstrong's Jewelry located orf Harrison Ave. and ask for a free Artcarved en­try blank. Classmates can also nominate a girl as a candidate. Nominations are often made by fraternities, sororltes and campus club groups.

This competition to choose a National College Queen Is not just a "beauty contest". Only .50 per cent of the judging is on attrac­tiveness, charm and personality. Equally Important will be the stu­dent's academic record, her cam­pus activities, her hobbles and community service.

The current National College Queen Is Miss Patricia Weaver, a Junior at Wilson College tn Cham-bersburg, Pennsylvania. During the 1961 Pageant, Bonnie Jean Scafer from the University of Cincinnati placed second. Marsha Lynn Thompson from Montana State College was thhd.

Other Regional Winners, who traveled to New York City and competed in the National Finals, came from the University of Miami, Umversity of Oregon, Weber College, High Point Col­lege, University of Wlscons:ln, University of Missouri, Univer­sity of Oklahoma and the Univer­sity of Southern California.

If one of our students wins Re­gional honors, she will spend an exciting week in Manhattan. She wUl see Broadway shows, go backstage to meet the stars, visit the United Nations, tour Radio City Music Hall, enjoy luncheons at the Stork Club, Rockefeller Center, and will appear on tele­vision.

It's -easy to enter this contest. Nothing to buy. No slogans to write. The National Colle,ge Queen Pageant is sponsored by several leading companies, as their annual salute to outstanding

college students and present more than $5,000 in prises. For example;

The nesst National Collegt̂ Queen will win a trip to Europe, Austin Healey Sprite sports car, Westinghouse portable appllanceis for her future home and either an Evening Star $500 diamond ring or pendant by Artcarved, a name beloved by brides and brides-to-be for over a century.

In the field of fashions, the prizes will last throughout her worrying about stockings. She will receive a ten year supply of Berkshix-e hosiery! She also wins a complete wardrobe of suits, dresses and sportswear.

To higlillght her appearance, the National College Queen will receive tips on good grooming from the TonI (Company. They will also present her w.ith a full year's supply of beauty and hair care products made by TonI.

Circle-K Inter Given Citizen

Circle K International, one of whose clubs serves the campus of Gulf Coast Junior'College, has been a,warded the George Wash­ington Honor Medal for Its col­lege campus citizenship program in 1961, it was announced this week by Robert Griffin,

This is the second consecutive year that Circle K Inte:rnational has been honored by the Free­doms Foundation.

Specifically, Circle K's work In promoting active citizenship by participating in service projects on the campus was singled out for praise by the Freedoms Foim-dation.

A Freedoms Foundation award enjoys the same prestige and sig­nificance in the community serv­ice field that the "Oscar" does in the motion picture Industry and the "Emmy" in the television

world. Though Circle K International

is a relatively new organization, now in its seventh year, it al­ready numbers more than 7,500 members on about 385 college campuses in the United States and Canada.

Circle K Is the fastest gro\\_ service organization on college campuses. Seventy-five new clubs were chartered during 1961.

Circle K is a service club spon­sored by a local Kiwanis club which voluntarily assumes the leadersMp responsibilities in its respective college and host com­munity.

Scholastic attainment will be considered but Is secondary to need, motivation and citizenship, the spokesman said.

Interested students should apply by mail to "The Woman's Club ScholarsMp Committee, In care of Bay County Public Library, 411 Jenks Avenue, Panama C i t v, Florida."

AU applications must be re­ceived by May 5, 1962, and In his letter, the applicant should I.-.K-piain Ms reasons for wanting to

If a. nation .succumbs in its struggle for the rights of mankind, then it was probably found weigh­ing too lightly in the scales of destiny to justify its good fortune of being allowed to continue on this mortal globe. For if a man is not ready or able to fight for his existence, righteous Provi-. dence has already decreed his doom. The world is not Intended for cowardly nations.

TALKS ON MATH

By MIEE MAHONEY On Friday, March 23, in the

Science Lecture Hall, members of Gulf Coast Jumor College's Stu­dent Educational Association, as well as many faculty members and interested students, heard Robert R. Tinney, head of the Division of Math and Science at GCJC, speak on mathematics.

Tinney spoke on the tremendous .Importance of math In the world today. He stressed the fact that many people have misconceptions about raatheraatics, believing that math is unchangmg, always dull and dry, non - humamstic, a science, and not at ail practical.

Tinney pointed out that math Is indeed constantly changing as new methods and ideas are being brought to fight. He also stated that math Is in a class of its own, apart from the sciences, and proved without doubt that math need not be dull by the use of clever illustrations of mathemati­cal principles.

The typical mathematician to­day, as described by Tinney, has a master's or doctor's degree, earns anywhere from five thou­sand to twenty thousand dollars a year, depending on Ms degrees, and usually does his major crea­tive work between the ages of twenty to thirty-five years.

Tinney spoke of the two major fields of mathematics; pure math­ematics, in wMch the .mathema­tician Is working on the frontier of math mthout regard to utility or practibillty of Ms work, and applied mathematics, such as engineering, architecture, and construction work.

Tinney also dealt briefly with some of the uncommon and new types of math such as topolog.y fpositional analysis), non-Euclid­ian geometry, probability, and
