Barbara Sherbino was injured in an accident January 10 at 1 p.m. when she failed to yield the right of way to a car driven by Sharon Poulson. The car driven by Sherbino had stopped at the exit of parking lot A and then proceeded into the path of the other vehicle.

Miss Sherbino reports that she was waiting for a car op­posite her in parking lot B to turn east. When this car driven by Al Slaughter failed to turn, Miss Sherbino pulled out onto the college road, failing to see the oncoming Poulson car.

Miss Sherbino is a freshman from Niles, and Miss Poulson is a freshman from Paw Paw.

2 THE SOU'WESTER, January 22, 1968

Editorial:

A Continuing Salute Who said, "The Sou'wester spends too much time

knocking the students here?" We just did! . Everyone knows it is a tenet of journalism that un­

pleasant ftf?rns make news and good ones do not. While trying to be "good" journalists, we have often become dogmatic in adhering to this code. Consequently, we have lost sight of the truly hard-working student who does his best for Southwestern.

In hopes of rectifying this mistake we will, in each issue, salute a student who we feel exhibits diligence and ambition. These students deserve just as much recogni­tion as the "swearers" and "fire truck burners.''

The recent appointment of eight Southwestern students for Who's Who Among Students In American Junior Col­leges is a recent case in point. After all, if a national organization can recognize some of the students here, why shouldn't their newspaper?

To the Editor:

Letters to the Editor you afraid to admit it." I am not afraid to sign my name to any article I have written. For the unfortunate students who felt I was ashamed of my name, it's

I wrote an article for the -view page last month and by fault of the publisher my name and Dian Brooks' remained un­published. I received very harsh criticism for this error from some students. They felt that because our names were not below our articles, we were ashamed of what we said. One person's words were, ''If you believe you're right why are

The Bible, or how John

Huston saved Hollywood

By PAUL HANSON

Any movie based on a well­known book already has one strike against it: ''The Bible" had two. I venture to say that few members of the audience were surprised when Eve was created from A darn's rib. Some wonderful photography helped prevent boredom in this se­quence. Of course it didn't hurt that Adam and Eve were as naked as the day they were born.

The Ark sequence was in­teresting since I have always wolldered how Noah and his brood felt on that 960 hour journey. But never for onemo­ment did I fear that they would not land safely on Mount Ararat. I was rather disappointed when they did. This sequence was the most interesting, and it lasted the longest of the film. Huston's original plans were to put the entire Bible on film. But this notion was slightly amended when he ran into scenes like the ark. For those who are keeping score, he succeeded in fUm­ing only one half of one of the sixty-six books of the Bible. This l/132 of the whole took nearly four hours.

history featured Gallery exhibit

From January 2 to January 19 the SMC art gallery featur­ed an exhibition of paintings presented by the Michigan Bell Telephone Company. The paint­ings were commissioned by the telephone company to recreate some of the significant events in the rich and colorful history of Michigan. Robert A. Thorn from · Birmingham, Michigan, was the artist selected to por­tray these events. He was as­sisted by the historian, Pro­fessor F. Clever Bald from the

University of Michigan. The paintings are designed to

portray a pictorial history of Michigan. The first of the se­ries of 26 works depicts several mastodons which entered Mich­igan in about 10,000 B.C. after the last of the four great glac­iers had retreated to the North.

_The subject matter of the next 25 paintings progresses through Michigan's past and includes pictures of Michigan Indians, the massacre at M 1chilirnack­inac, the Detroit fire of 1805,

the Lewis Cass expedition, the discovery of important Michi­gan resources, the first capital building at Lansing, the world seaport of Detroit, and other scenes from past as well as contemporary Michigan. The exhibition is a continuing se­ries and other works will be add~d to the collection to keep it updated.

The works are distributed free of charge by the Michi­g a n Historical Commission through the John M. Munson

Music Box By Norm Meiser

The Doors are deflnltely a psychedelic rock group. I ad­mit that their sound is good and their instruments mesh quite well together which relays somewhat of an adventure in listening. However, after see­ing them on the Jonathan Win­ter' s Show and what I have heard about the QQQrs, I con­sider them as one of the "sick· edelic" groups. Their show­manship is terrible! The worst display of showmanship is that of the lead singer, Jim Mor­rison. At the end of the first song he weakly withered to the floor like he couldn't withstand it anymore.

A couple of weeks ago one of Chicago's better known disc j9ckeys revealed that at a re­cent concert Morrison was yell­ing and cussing out a four­letter word which was notprop­er, especially during perform­ance at a public concert. At Cleveland during another stage show, Morrison wiggled and wallowed around on the floor like a groggy grimy snake.

The ~ are nothing else but animals, or as I heard a comedian once say, "They look like Jane, act like Tarzan, and smell like Cheta." However Jim Morrison, the lead singer, has more ugly, regurgitating, ani· mal characteristics than any of the other members of the band.

The Doors music is success­fully average and their show­manship is definitely poor, which means they comprise a group of drugged, distorted, vacuous, vegetables.

Michigan Historical Fund. Some of the works included in the ex­hibition have been shown at sev­eral important events, including the 1967 Canadian Exposition.

If Southwestern had an all star band, this would be it. The boys all play in addition to full-time studies. Bruce Pipke, Mike Whelan, Mike Smith, Val Dicerto, and Randy Miller are waiting for their amps while the girls, Shirley Wolfe, Peggy Hess, Ann Verbeckmoes, Eyelyn Denz, and Kimi Koga, are waiting for a dance.

Five SMCers claim band m em bersh ip

Gone are the days when being In a band meant marching in parades or playing In concert on Sundays. Gone also are the swing bands of the Thirties In which the biggest sound came from the horns.

Now the typical band Is made up of four, five, or more play­ers all of the tender age of 18 or 19, and the main sound comes from the guitars and drums. Add to this an organ, harmonica, and one or more singers, and the band Is com­plete. It seems that no col· lege campus is complete with· out a few of these Individuals, and SMC has flve of them.

Mike Whelan is now with the Delian League. He plays bass guitar and sometimes lead or rhythm guitar. Mike is from Sister Lakes and has played guitar for five of his 18 years. He is a freshman and is en­rolled In the liberal arts pro­gram.

and formerly of D e t r o i t, specializes In playing lead and rhythm guitar and singing, but he also plays the organ and harmonica. He is more or less of a loner now, but he has been with The lnnsmen from Detroit, and the Bondsmen from Buch­anan.

Mike Smith is from Elkhart and is presently with The Counts. Although he is lead singer for the group he also plays lead or · rhythm guitar. He is also a freshman and is 18 years old.

Bruce Pipke is with the Traces of 'lime and is from South Bend. He plays rhythm guitar and sometimes organ or bass guitar. He has played guitar for four years and is 19 years old.

Randy Miller is 19 years old and plays drums with The Counts. He is also from Elk­hart and is enrolled in the lib­eral arts program. He has play. ed drums for three years.

One of the main goals of any group is to cut a record and have it end up a hit. After a group has played at enough plac­es and has become well enough known, they might try to make a record.

SPN's hold varied events By MISS M. MILLER, S.P.N.

As the student nurses got into the full swing of college life, they served as hostesses to the open house of the new Vo-Tech Building. Election of officers of the Student Nurses Assn. were held and results were: President: Miss V. Le­Roy; VIce-President: Miss K. Boozer; Secretary: Miss J. Pa­gels; and Treasurer: Mrs. M. Hunsburger.

A Project taken by the S.N.A. will be the raising of funds to charter a bus for a trip to Uni­versity of Michigan's hospital upon their Invitation to do so this spring.

For the Christmas holidays, tray favors for the three af· filiated hospitals were made. As other special events occur, the student nurses will be in­volved in more activities.

As for classes, the S.P.N.'s went into orientation of "On­Duty" clinical training after completing one month lab duty. A special lecture on the new coronary care unit being com­pleted at Memorial Hospital, Dowagiac was given by David L. Comstock, M.D. The students also heard Dr. Comstock lec­ture about Blood Pressure and the Essentials of Specialized Equipment. Mr. Edw. Darr came to the Nursing Department and gave a lecture on the ear and abnormalities . associated with the hearing mechanism. Mr. Darr is of Darr & Assc. which perform work in the fields of hearing and prosthetic hear­Ing.

A surprise luncheon was giv­en for Mrs. E. Rivers, R.N. on her birthday. The food was prepared by the students; a well balanced meal was served. Mrs. Rivers is the Nutrition Instructor.

For Christmas, the S.P.N's and the Faculty of the Applied Sciences had luncheon the 20th of December. The buffet was prepared by the nursing instruc­tors and those that attended the ' affair were very thankful to be invited.

As the end of the semester ends soon; great anticipation of the results of exams. For a student nurse this is the one

Student Salute: Linda Romig

Miss Linda Romig, a sopho· more, is a girl whose enthus­iasm, vitaltiy, and determina­tion have contributed greatly io SMC. In addition to maintain· ing an impressive Grade Point Average, Linda's V"~ied inter· ests have led her to become an integral part of many ac. tivities at Southwestern.

As a freshman, Linda was secretary of the Student Ad· visory Council. In this way, she helped 1n intiatlng many of SMC' s first student policies and in setting up the student Government. Currently, Linda is serving as secr etary of the Young Republican club, activi· ties editor of the '68 Spectrum and secretary to the nursing staff. Linda's primary concern, howevar, centers around her present office as Vlce-Presi· dent of the Student Government. In this capacity, she functions as President of the Student Senate and is deeply involved

Linda graduated as Valedlc· torian of Marcellus HighSchool and isnowresidinginDowaglac. At SMC she is an English ma­jor 1n a secondary education curriculum, and is planning to transfer to Western Michigan University. Yet her future plans are by no means deflnate.
