Panorama Sales Continue Through Last of January

Sales of Panorama will continue «ntil the Slist of January. After that time the number of books ordered from the publisher will be reduced to bring it in line with the number of orders we have taken from the students and fac­ulty. There will be few, it any> extra books to be sold.

Students who have not already purchased their copy are urged to contact either Florence Hatch­er, Bill Hutchison, or Howard Huseman and provide for their -copy now. Failure to insure an order at this time may well re­sult in disappointment next spring.

As a result of voting by both the day and evening divisions, the name finally selected for the first yearbook to be published by Gulf Coast College is Panorama.

Panorama won out by a fair margin of votes over the two al­ternates The Gull and The Dol­phin. Work was begun on a cov­er for the yearbook to incorpor­ate our new name, and Pan­orama's staff hopes to be aWe to turn one out that will please everyone. ,

Individual pictures were made Novembei 19, and while a fair participation by the students was observed, some classes fell, far short of having a complete rep­resentation

"Call Him A Sissy/' Says Champion Fisherman, Martin

One of Bay County's prorninent citizens, a national records hold­er, and soon to beoome a Satur­day Evening Post celebrity is Roy Martin, champion fisherman, who spoke in assembly Wednes­day November 19.

Mr. Martin, who calls himself a damn Yankee, being bom in Evansville, Indiana, hooked his audience with his one hour ques­tion and answer session on fish­ing both local and otherwise.

Fresh- and r-*lt water fish, from the speckled trout, bonefish shark, to red snapper, grouper devilfish and bass, received the query, "How do you catch them."

"Speckled trout," answered Mr. Martin, "are lazy fish, so use a lazy motion with them. Their fa­vorite color in lures is white."

Another topic put to the cham­pion who holds 19 fishing records was bonefish. "Some bonefish have been clocked at 40 mph off the Florida Keys in equatorial waters. They're impossible to eat

because of the twisted bone struc­ture. Last week the third bone­fish was caught in Panama City waters ."

"Call him a sissy and he'll show you he isn't," examplified Mr. Martin in describing what he con­siders the most sporting fish, the amberjack. "He's easy to get mad, just as some of us a r e . "

"Anything can be et if ya gotta" retorted Mr. Martin when asked about man's survival chances in the ocean. "Shark can only see 8 feet in front of them, so there is little chance of shark seeing you. However, he depends on vibrations to get his food. If you were to stir up the water you'd have two or three come to investigate and if you looked tasty enough he'd take a bi te ."

When asked What he thought about skin divers hitting sharks on the nose Mr. Martin stated that "you can paralize a shark by hitting him between the eyes,

P A G E TWO THE GULL'S CRY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1958

EDITORIALS U. S. MEANS US

In November during assembly period we were honored to have the Reverand, Dr . Evans of Los Angeles California.

Dr . Evans is the fortunate possessor of one of the finest speaking voices, keenest minds, and most dominent person­alities in his field.

His oratoric ability was reflected by the fact tha t h e ta lked for 44 minutes to an attentive audience of ordinarily rest less students.

What did he say? Spellbound by the sonority of his voice, captivated by his personal charm, most of his audience came away fefeling uplifted enUghtened, and totally unable to dis­cern any meaning e x c e p t , " U . S . means u s ! "

THANKSGIVING ' We all had a wondedrful brea ther from the toils and troubles of study and meditation over the Thanksgiving Holi­days .

Among the activities foremost on every vacat ioner ' s list was a little hunting and fishing for the men and possibly some radio and television or picnicing for the women, follow­ed by that juicy Thanksgiving turkey with dressing, cran­be r ry sauce and Pumpkin P i e !

I think we are all ready to settle back down to some honest-to-goodness scholastic work now. However, most of us cannot wait until the Christmas holidays ar r ive .

Many t imes, though, some of us forget just what these hohdays a re for and pay no attention to their meanings . For instance, the recent Veteran ' s ' Day holiday was ob­served by us all because we were out of school. But did

. many take the t ime to wonder why we have a day in com­memorat ion of the dead who died to protect us or the war heroes who were lucky enough to re turn?

How many thought of the suffering of the small band of Pi lgr ims who were thankful that they were still alive a t the harves t t ime?

Many lives were lost over the holiday because of some people who thought they should have a bigger share of Thanksgiving than anyone else. These a re the ones who drank while hunting or driving, the ones who thought tha t the speed laws did not apply to them.

Is this the way you thought? If so, you should be thank­ful that you were spared this t ime and determine not to be so ungrateful next holiday.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A school is made by the students who attend and not by

the n a m e of the school or the adminiistration or faculty. If a student attends a school he should take pride in it and should work for it in order to make a bet ter school.

It is a shame that of all the students in Gulf Coast Community College none are interested enough to take

<part in any of the activities in order to have a bet ter school. .

Most of the students think it smar t to m a k e wise-cracks about the faculty, administration, and those students who t ry . These a re of the lowest sort of humani ty . If you are not one of these this does not apply to you. But this reader has to be shown. Are you interested in showing me that I a m wrong? If so please a t tempt to do your pa r t a little bet ter .

One example of this apathy was on 16 December when decorations were being ar ranged for the Christmas Ball. Only two gentlemen showed up from the student body to do the decorating.

The excuse everyone seems to use is, "Well, I wasn ' t asked to he lp . " If you take pride in your school you shotdd not need to be asked to do what is your duty.

It is a shame that everyone wants to enjoy the priv­ileges of social activities but yet no one wants to foster these programs or help with ar rangements when one is planned.

In summary , I would like to ask if P a n a m a City could ever think of growing without some careful planning and manipulation on the pa r t of public-spirited individuals. If your answer is no, then how can you expect GCCC to ever amount to anything?

Best Sellers There are any parts of coUegs

life that are missed by the stu­dents due to lack of time and in­terest. Our library is no excep­tion.

Many of us fail to realize the importance of a library to which we can go to seek valuable in­formation. All of us can benefit from study of the boolEs in the library.

There seems to be some mis­understanding about library pol­icy. K is possible to re-check a book and save paying a fine. Many people do not seem to real­ize this from looking at the fine list posted in the student lounge.

Also of interest is the list of new books available to the read­er on the shelves. Often new books arrive and no one knows about them for a great period of time. We will try to keep you posted on some of the current selections and give you a brief summary of the book.

On the shelves now are the following recent books:

These are on the bestseller list. Affluent Society by John Gal-braith. Aku Aku by Thor Heyerdahl Anatomy of a Murder by Robert Traver Eisenhower; Captive Hero by Marquis Childs Inside Russia Today by John Gunther Masters of Deceit by J. Ed­gar Hoover Please Don't Eat the Daisies by Jean Kerr Winthrop Woman by Anya Seton

Some others on this list are on order and are as follows:

Dr. Shivago by Boris Pasternak (Nobel Prize Winner run out of Russia)

Mosby's War Reminiscenses by John S. Mosby (Gray Ghost).

On My Own by Eleanor Roose­velt.

The library has many fiction and non-fiction books available to suit nearly every taste in read­ing.

W<Mi't you stop by the library soon and discover the amount of material available to you in our library.

C!urrington, 20, a Navy machinists mate, expected multiple offspring, but..

"I like to fainted when they told me it was four."

The quadruplets were bom "Ries-day to his wife Mae, 22.

They already had three sons and a daughter ranging from 7 years to 20 months.

Her quads were two boys weigh­ing 4 pounds, 6 ounces each; an­other boy 4-11; and a daughter, 2-11. All were reported in excel­lent condition.

Multiple births are nothing new to Mrs. Currington.

She has 13 brothers and 12 sisters.

the newspaper staff bade adieu to Lavonne Conrad. Not only was she our stand-by and gal-Friday, she also gathered gossip for this column. Her job falls to the next rung on the ladder who has al­ways felt that the only gossip of any possible interest is that re garding either liquor, obscenity or both! That sort of thing is, of course, unprintable, so, in our own bird-like way we proceed to report what is mad, impetuous, and printable at 'ole GCCC.

Newsflash, a bell has been in­stalled by the student-faculty ad­visory committee.

Also among the things that we don't have is a TEAM. Every­body knows that a shool just ain't swinging without a TEAM. How else do you get athletic heros and suspension by the NCAA?

Among the things we do have is Wednesday Assembly which meets every Friday at 10:15. Oc­casionally we have fun at assem­bly, more often we have speak­ers.

We also have a glee club, or Chorale, and they are going to haVe a concert Thursday, Decem­ber 18. Outside of sounding like the proverbial band of angels, they will be wearing brand spank­ing new uniforms which deserve comment. The boys are ok, but the girls? Well, baby you know what I like!

On Pupil Assignment

Some State School Integration Planned to Boost Florida Law

TALLAHASSEE — State and county officials have started talking about the possibilities of jsome integration in Florida's pub­lic schools to strengthen the state inipil assignment law.

But they disagreed at a closed meeting at the governor's man­sion Tuesday on how to proceed.

School officials from five coun-t ies- 'Dade, Pa lm Beach, Hills' ftorough, Broward and Pinellas— met with Gov. LeRoy Collins, Atty. Gen. Richard W. Ervin, State School Supt Thomas D. Bailey and Asst, Atty. Gen. Ralph Odum who handles the state's racial suits.

Gov. GoUins said in a statement tBat the group came here at the invitation of Judge L. L. Fabisin-ski of Pensacola, chairman of the Governor's Advisory Commission on Race Relations.

Odum and Collins said recently that if Florida's pupU assignment law is to hold up legally there must be some integration. Suits to gain admission to white schools

have been brought by Negroes in Dade, Palm Beach and Hills­borough counties.

Collins' statement said "the pur­pose of the meeting was to have an informal discussion of the ad­ministration of and the strengthen­ing of the pupil assignment law in the counties represented. • "Information regarding recent court decisions and conditions in each of these counties was ex­changed.

"It was recognized that under the terms of the law each county is responsible for its local admin­istration, but all present felt that some good could and did come about by a frank general discus­sion of individual local circum­stances."

The U. S. Supreme Court held recently that Alabama's school placement law, which is similar to Florida's pupil assignment law, was valid on its face, but that whether it would hold up eventu-al'^' would depend upon its appli­cation.

Increasing Game Population November 15 began another

Bunting season. Hunters from many areas were eagerly antici­pating the first break of day. They were camped on the banks o f rivers, sleeping in houseboats, •rowded in cars and a few over­anxious hunters didn't sleep a t all. Finally day broke, the weath­e r was perfect, the wind was still, but the silence was broken by the roar of guns. In the Apalach-icola Area you couldn't count to ten before a gun would blast away. It sounded like a miniature war fought with small a rms. Ac­cording to the Board of Conserva­tion, an estimated six thousand . squirrels and thirty turkeys were killed on opening day along in the Apalachicola National Forest. T h e Board of Conservation in

our area is doing a marvelous job of replenishing our game sup­ply. The, overall game population is increasing and shall continue to do so as long as we have laWs regulating one day's bag limit. These laws a re rigidly enforced a s witnessed by an unlicensed hunter of our school who was fined although he had no game in his possession. 5

I h e days following opening day

quieted off somewhat, giving the squirrels a break and a chance to retire to the dense and secluded part of the swamp. This retiring and the fact that the wind blew steadily over the Thanksgiving weekend resulted, for the most of us, in a gameless Thanksgiving hunt.

The remainder of the season, weather permitting, should be more successful for most hunt­ers. According to the Board of Conservation, and despite the slaughter on opening day, there is still a plentiful supply of game to be taken.

Evans Speaks On Effects Of Tomorrow

"How does tOmonrow effect you?" asked Dr. Louis H. Evans, nationally famous minister who is the summer pastor to Presi­dent Eisenhower and ' a former All State and Coriference end in basketball.

"Your theory about tomorrow will do much to make or break you," he stated. Before giving his theory on the question, Dr. Evans expounded on other contemporary theories.

" ^ h e pessimist says there is nothing we can do," explained Dr. Evans. "The world is^ on a tobaggon slide. The only thing we can do is to throw out cinders to slow it up. .

Optimist goes to the other ex­treme with the theory that man 's improvement is an inevitability. There is nothing inevitable about progress," Dr. Evans warned. Another school of thought sub­scribed to is the oscillation the­ory which holds that civilization swings back and forth like a pen-fiulum, first experiencing an up­ward swing, followed by the downward swing toward war ."

Some believe that education of the intellect is the answer but these nave been proven wrong by the fact that crime is on the in-

; crease. "We are bankrupt eth­ically, and secular education is not enough. The only way the educational theory can work is provided it includes the matur­ation of tlie spirit of man ."

The military theory has not worked because it has not taken away man's intention to destroy, but only holds . the nations in check through the threat of force.

The only possible solution brought forth by Dr. Evans is "regeneration which is Christi­anity. Human hearts must be changed, and this is done on an individual basis. Do you love what you should love, Do you hate what you should hate? Are the combustibles of war in your hear t?

Peace will not be made in the White House but in your heart. U. S. means us. I t 's up to you, each of you, to be a guardian of tomorrow."

Dr. Evans concluded his ad-diiess with an expression of con­fidence in the young people who must build a better world tomor­row.

The speaker was introduced by the Rev. Richard Scoggins, pas­tor of Wallace Memorial Presby­terian Church where Dr. Evans conclud€,'d series of sermons.

New 49-State Flag Design Expected Soon

WASHINGTON i j -The de­sign of the new 49-star flag is expected to be announced by Pres­ident Eisenhower late this month or early in January.

Alaska has until Christmas to certify its Nov 25 election, of state ol'icials and the President soon thereafter will issue a proc­lamation formally making this a 49-state nation.

White House news secretary, J ames C. Hagerty, said the ex­ecutive order setting forth the new flag design will be issued at the same time.

Hagerty said the committee of government officials appointed to recommend the new design has not lost sight of the possibility Hawaii may be admitted to state­hood soon, making a 50th star necessary.

This would seem to rule out any 7x7 combination of 49 stars.

Hagerty has said approximately 1,900 suggested designs have been submitted by all sorts of groups ranging from schools to veterans organizations, but he has declined to say how many of these pro­posals are under active consider­ation.

There has been no suggestion that the traditional red and white stripes and the field of stars be abandoned.

The committee passing on the proposals is composed of the sec­retaries of state, defense and treasury and the chairman of the Fine Arts Commission.

There has been no established flag, although 25 changes have been made in the 181 years since the Continental Congress first adopted a resolution providing for the original 13-state flag.

The last change was in 1912 when President William Howard Taft approved the present 48-star design after Arizona and New Mexico joined the Union.

During the last summer several members of the Circle K gave speeches at various civic clubs of the city in a "Get Out And Vote" campaign.

Sodety Needs Awareness, ^ Says Dickenson

"Todays society sails for pe*-pie who have an awareness and understanding of the happenings around tis. We need people of this caliber stated Reverend E . . Rob­ert Dickerson pastor of Forest Park Methodist Church, in a re­cent talk in assembly in Novem­ber.

In his talk Rev. Dickerson pointed out three things- of which

-one must become aware if he wishes to understand these im-Tortant factors of life.

"We must come to grips with ife and face it realistically," he

stressed. "Life is a great battle, the stakes being life and death, rhe trend nowadays is to shirk ndividual responsibility, but we

must be aware that the person showing stamina will win."

In speaking on this subject Rev. Dickerson poirited out the role of education. "It teaches us to discipline ourselves, creates stamina, and encourages a stronger will."

"You and I must be motivated by high ideals," he further stress­ed. "I t is a tragedy when some­one is motivated by material things, for there is something greater than material success."

"We must realize that we are not better than our character, therfore we should strive to ac­quire a depth of character, and morals ," explained Rev. Dicker-son. "We need convictions wljjch we would be ready to die for; we need a life purposefully ded­icated to God and to service of fellow man.
