Aibritton
to pursue
participation
Richard Aibritton newly elected
president of the Student
Government Association at Gulf
Coast is concerned witFi student
involvement in campus affairs.
" S t u d e n t Government's
major purpost here is to serve
the studeints and it can only
operate Effectively and efficiently with the active support of the
student body.
1 feel that for the new students
at Gulf Coast this is their school
now and they should participate
. in Student Government which
plays a Major role at Gulf Coast
not only in dealing with the
students but also with the
administration as far as policy
making is concerned," stated
Aibritton.
He stressed that elections for
the seats of co-commissioners
are upcoming Sept. 17-18.
There are 20 positions vacant to
be held exclusively be freshmen
and the elected officers will
work in conjunction with the
commissioners in the planning
of campus functions.
In speaking of the upcoming
election Aibritton said,"For a
fieshman to hold a co-commissioners seat is good training for a
major office in next year's SGA
and it's excellent experience in
preparing for life in general."
SGA has a number of
tentative plans which are being
hindered from finalization because of the vacant co-commissioners seats which constitute a
lack of manpower on the
planning committee.
It has however set up several
activities for the upcoming
semester.
One of the top priorities is the
"Dollars for Scholars" auction
to be held on campus Nov. 9.
Items donated by students
"Extreme lack of enthusiasm"
t« "interesting competition"
has been evident in campaigners for co-commissioner posts
and Commissioner of Social
Affairs, according .,ta-a xecent
spot-ckeck survey.
"All SGA commission posts
are still filled" (minus Social
Affairs) according to Dean
Catherine Nix, adviser to
student government, is aplus in
our direction."
A political rally for all
qualified candidates will be held
September 16 with elections
scheduled for September 17 and
18.
A full senate should begin
sessions the 19th.
GCCC's 'Standards' raised
Accompanied by a group of students, GCCC
President Dr. Richard Morley made a ceremonial
assault on one of the mountains of earth created
by excavation of the Learning Resources Center
(LRC) foundation recently.
As shown above. Dr. Morley carried the new
Commodore standard is scheduled to be raised
which for the first time at 11:00 a.m. today on the
Administration Building flag pole.
According to its designer, Mr. Joe Ashbrook of
the Technology Department, the flag represents
the pride and spirit of the Gulf Coast College
community. The LRC is similarly a symbol of
continuing efforts to raise the standard of
educational opportunities at Gulf Coast.
As a laison between students
and faculty, the Public Affairs
office was instituted last year
with anothe constitutional revision dropping the freshmen and
sophmore presidential post.
"Hot Dog Day," a co-sponsored event with the Athletic
division, kicked off 5GA plans
for semester.
Other plans include a "coffee
house" run by SGA and the
"Dollars for Scholars Auction"
which will be held all day on a
Saturday with all money taken
in going toward the "Foundation Fund" for student scholarships.
SGA solicits suggestions from
all s t u d e n t s through the
suggestion box, located in the
Student Center, and by going to
your Senators at Large.
$80,000 is available to the
students from the student fees
which is divided among the
various commissions. Sudents

Editorial
Pallor of apathy
lifting from campus
A fresh school year is upon us, and the cloud of apathy which has
been enshrouding the Gulf Coast campus in past years seems to be
slowly lifting.
Students appear to be more concerned of what goes on around
them and are getting involved in more and more activities.
The activities themselves look to be going more smoothly, and the
participants seem to possess a true diligence and conscientiousness
which has not been so apparent in the past years.
This is the first„time in three years and only the third time in the
last six years that Gulf Coast has had a returning SGA president.
SGA is beginning the year with a full slate of executive officers
with only the freshmen positions remaining vacant and elections for
those are slated for Sept. 17 and 18.
A cookout was held on campus recently which experienced an
exceptional turnout, quite the opposite of some of the disasters
which plagued the campus last year.
In walking across the campus one feels an air of friendliness and
hopeful expectation of what the year will hold, rather than that of
dread and scorn which seemed to be the prevailing attitudes in past
years.
So it seems that Gulf Coast is finally emerging from its apathetic
past undaunted, ready for a fresh beginning; one in which the
studepts get involved in the activities on campus, which is what this
school has needed for quite some time.
However, although the prospects for the future look bright at this
time, GJilf Coast does not have the dormitories and campus life of a
four-year university.
It is therefore highly susceptable to apathy and the "don't get
involved, let the other gUy do it" syndrome.
Because of this, students are going to have to stay active and stay
concerned about what is 'going on at Gulf Coast or the cloud of
apathy may once more.'^Jwer to enshroud the campus, simply
because not enough peo'ple cared to keep it away.

The case of the reluctont juror
Last Friday I returned home
to find an important looking
letter from Bay County Sheriff
Tullis Easterling.
While debating on throvving it
away, opening it, or putting it
in the mailbox and hoping it
would disappear, I tried to think
of why Mr. Easterling would be
writing me a letter.
1 finally decided to open it;
and out popped a small, very
formal looking letter.
Jiiry summons!
I had to appear in Circuit
Court Room 204 on Tuesday
afternoon.
When first walking into Room
204, it doesn't seem like the
Perry Mason-or Owen Marshalltype courtroom. It looks like a
big informal gathering with
Judge Spear presiding. Circuit
Court Clerk Bruce Collings, a
court reporter, court stenographer, and three bailiffs. State
Attorney Leo Jones was also
present.
After handing my summons
to Collins, 1 took a seat in the
section reserved for prospective
jurors.
Roll was taken and
Judge Spear then explained the
judicial and court procedure to
us.
"Jury duty is an obligation to
your country," stated Spear.
"It is a duty designated to you

Students may ^iew the
program at home on Tuesday or
Thursday evening from
5:30-6:00 or at GutfCoast in the
Quiet Lounge on Wednesday
evening from 6:30-7:00.
Following the Wednesday
night telecast the students have
a most enlightening discussion.
The Students are only
required to come on campus
twice, for a mid-term test and a
final exam.
"I took the class to fulfill a
physical science requirement,
but now the course means a lot
more to me. I fully recommend
it," states one member of the
class who is a full-time student
and father.
"I don't feel it's a crip course
but that's okay, I'm getting a lot
out of it," said another member.
More than half the class is
over the age of 30, with almost
twice as many guys as gals.
Part-time and full-time students
are equally divided.

swearing me in.
Here I was, the youngest
juror in the court room, and
perhaps I would have a hand in
deciding the course of a
person's life. It hit me how
inexperienced I was compared
to everyone else.
All these
jurors were older and wiser,
they had probably been in more
contact with courtrooms and
trials. They would probably
make much better judges.
On second thought though,
youth can sometimes see and
understand situations other
people might not be able to.
As J o n e s repeated his
question, I realized that I was
just to young to be deciding the
course of another person's life.
I followed other jurors up to
Judge Spear to explain different
situations. Some of us were
excused and some of us w^re
not.

When my turn came,
explained that I was a Gulf
Coast student during the day.
I was dismissed, my jury duty
was finished-for the present.

avoid this responsibility if at all
possible."
We were then sworn in as
jurors.
Judge Spear told us that we
would serve in his circuit court
for a week, if not chosen for the
Grand Jury for an upcoming
case. People on the Grand Jury
would serve for six months.
Then Jones asked us questions such as: " A r e you all U.S.
citizens registered to vote in Bay
County?" "Over 18?" "Do you
have all yeur rights as a
citizen?" "Have you been
convicted of any crime?"
After properly answering
these and other questions, he
asked us the big one:
"Is there any reason, physical
disability or otherwise, that
would stop you from serving on
this jury?"
With this statement, I turned
and looked at all the jurors
around me. 1 realized that 1 was
the youngest juror in the room.
Suddenly I realized the amount.

works at the NavaL Coastal

students, either needing the
hours or taking the class out of
curiosity and interest in their
environment.
Sixteen students signed up
for the class, but Dr. Capraro,
who is co-ordinating the
program, feels confident that
more will register in the spring.
Those 16 are enthusiastic and
many of them intend to do
somthing to improve their

a second part. Ecology 102.
This years student Government is headed by myself. Richard
Aibritton and Vice President Mimi Manning. My associate and I"
have planned an ambitious year for Student Government
Association and Gulf Coast Community College. Foremost on
the Student Government Association agenda is a "Dollars for
Scholars" auction which will be held on Saturday November 9.
The proceeds from this auction will be used for scholarships for
deserving students here at Gulf Coast Community College. We
strongly encourage student participation and support of this
auction so it will be a success.
The Student'Government Assoidiation Office, which is now
located in the upstairs section of the student center, will be open
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 a.m. til 12 a.m. Soley
for the purpose of taking care of the students needs, whether it
be information needed or personal problems.
In addition the Student Government Association members are
always at the disposal of the students. The Student Government
Association are your elected representatives.* Please utilize
them.

Broadcast Journalism facilities at Gulf Coast have
progressed from a small room
above the student center, to
what Charlie Wooten, Director
of Electronic Media, describes
as, "the best equipped public
radio station in Florida and the
southeast."
The new station, broadcasting
at 90.7FM, is scheduled to go on
the air Oct. 1.
According to Wooten, the
station will change its call letter
toWKGC, if approved by the
Federal Communications. Commission, and will broadcast at a
power of 10 watts, to a 15 mile
radius of the college.
J,he call letters had to be
changed because a Coast Guard
ship in Mississippi already has
the former WGCC letters,
explained Wooten.
Not only have studio facilities
been advanced, but great
strides have been made in
program planning as well.
Wooten commented
that.

format has been changed this
year to include 40-50 per cent

Commodores blend experience with new talent
Gulf Coast will sport five
returning veterans on their
basketball roster to add their
experience to the enthusiasm «f
this years recruits.
They have seen and know the
pressure the recruits will be
confronted with; they have been
ill games won in the last three
seconds; they have been
acquainted with defeat in the
last hopeful moments; they have
seen the pro prospects college
has to offer; they have been in
the drivers seat and thrown in
the back seat. In short, they
have been there.
Jerry Samuels- 6 5 " forward
from Kentucky, finished the
1973-74 campaign with an 11.6
ppg. avg. and 10.7 rebounds.
Jerry's awesome size and ability
to jump made him especially
tough on the boards and earned
him the leading rebounder for
the 1974 season.
Mark Malesick- The smooth
sailing, 6' 4 " forward out of
Mingo Jet., Ohio turned in a 9.1
ppg avg. and 7.5 rebounds last
season.
Grady Rogers-Rogers played
in reserve a big part of last
season, but made his presence
felt when he did play. Grady
had a 7.3 ppg. avg. and 3
rebounds per game for the
Commodores. If Grady starts a
few games for the Commodores
this season, he may well
complete what he started in
1974.
Dennis Newell-Newell the
hot-shot guard from Birmingham Ala. saw much action last
year for the Commodores and
averaged 8 points a game and
2.1 rebounds. The opposition
will have their hands full
containing his patent long range
set shot.
Gary Speights- the "sliark "
as he is called of Port St. Joe
came into his own last season
finishing with 4.3 ppg. and 4.4
rebounds. The latter part of the
season the Commodores got
considerable help from Speights
on the boards.
These are the experienced
men for this season and with
their calibre and strong recruits.
Gulf Coast may be the power to
watch in 1974-75.
Clayton Johnson has spent all
summer recruiting for the
1974-75 season and has selected
a squad of medium size but one
with good depth.
Starting with the big man
there is 6'8" Charles Slappey
from Plains, Georgia.
Slappey averaged 33 points a
game and 16 rebounds for two
years consecutively. He "is a
man of few words and endless
action
From the "Heart of Dixie"
comes the 6'6" whiz kid, Robert
Page.
Page averaging 22 points,a
game and 14 rebounds. He was
voted All County and Regional
three consecutive years and was
also voted All Tennessee Valley
Conference and All State two
years in a row. Seeing him in
action is believing him.
Johnson took a trip to
Tuscaloosa to meet 6 ' 5 " Danny
Duncan.
Column
Name your game,your pricel
How about it sports fans,
Where's your attention focused
these days?
Have you decided to make
sports your career? If so, then
don't be discouraged;
who
knows, you may be the one to
break Hank Aaron's home run
record. Records are made to be
broken, you know.
It may be you who will be the
youngest player to break into
the professional Basketball
world.
Look at 6'U" Moses Malone,
the talk of the sports world.
Malone, a senior just out of
high school has signed a
contract with the Utah Stars for
over a million dollars. Malone
will receive $125,000 a year for 4
years, $25,000 for signing,
$25,000 for reporting to the
Stars training camp, and
$60,000 to attend college.
Malone is only 19 years-old
(how about you?). Maybe you
don't like basketball or can't
play, but for that kind of money
I am willing to bet you 'd give it
a good try.
Maybe Malone didn't attend
the University of Maryland as
he planned, but what would you
have done if you were Moses?
That'a the question I asked
some Gulf Coast students and
these are their responses: "That
kind of chance is one in a
lifetime"; "No doubt, the
pro's"; "Money, Money,
Money"; "Moses should think
of more experience"; and even
"Moses should hold out for
more money."
well, now I am asking you, what
would you do?
Don't think basketball is the
only sport youngsters get into.
As you well know Guld Coast is
known for turning out pro
baseballers.
Look at last
season's ace Scott McGlamory
and standout Dave Drevnak.
And let us not forget the
honorable Mr. Don Sutton.
No task is too tough says the
18-year-old professional baseball player Robin Yount, the
youth of baseball.
What about the 14-year-old
Jorge Lebron only in the 9th
grade, and already in the pro
baseball ranks.
Maybe you're the type that
likes to hop over the net after a
victory, in that case look at the
young Miss Chris Evert, only
19-years-old; or even her fiance
Jimmy Conners, only 22 years of
age. These two are well off and
loving it- and each other.
Maybe your limelight is
between the uprights of a
goal-post. Well, we have two
leagues now, and from the
looks of it, the NFL will soon be
in competition with the marineslooking for a few good men!
But maybe your style is in the
ring behind a pair of gloves. If
so, be sure to watch the bout
Sept. 24th between the champions. All and Foreman.
If after that you still think
boxing is your field you'd better
start chopping down the
redwoods.
Or maybe it just could be you
are another red, white, and blue
star-striped Evel Knievel. Since
this article was written before
his jump, you will be able to tell
,me whether or not you would
like to be where he is now
(either a filthy rich celebrity, or
a dead man leaving a widow and
kids.)
Well, what ever turns you on.
You know 1 think I'll turn pro, so
don't you be left out!
Duncan was voted All State
All Star, and prpp All American.
He averaged 15 points a game
and 13 rebounds. The only limit
that can be placed on Danny is
the "sky".
There are also those who just
like to try out for the team.
They are known as "walk o n s " .
The biggest walk on so far is
Gerald Dawson, a 6'8" eager
from Waterbury, Vermont witha
per game average of 14 points.
While on tour Johnson also
picked a few guards and utility
men.
Ray Ricks, the 6-foot All
South, Prep All American, and
All Stater averaged 22 points
and 15.8 rebounds per game.
David "Dabo" Johnson of
Birmingham, Alabama averaged 28 points a game and was
also voted All State and All
County.
Conroy Williams has been the
talk of the campus due to his
performance in practice.
Conroy made All State and All
American.
Eddie Slappey, a 5*10" guard
from Plains Georgia averaged
15 points a game, was voted All
District, All Regional, and All
State. Eddie is also the current
title holder in the mile run it the
state of Georgia, for high school
students.
Coach Johnson has also found
talent at home, like former
Rutherford star. Rick Bringger.
Bringger is a 6'4" leaper
averaging 15.3 points a game
andJO rebounds.
And Ronnie Blue, a free
throw specialist wb.« played for
ih9 Bay High Toranadoes,
wlicre he averaged 11' points a
game.
Rounding out the freshmen,
Lamar Jackson, a 5'9" hustling
ball thief is Coach Johnson
hopeful defcn.sc man. Jackson is
originally from New York.
Ciiarlei is strength,
Eddie has speed
To provide this year's team with essential speed and strength.
Coach Clayton Johnson has recruited two of Georgia's top
blue-chippers"the Slappey cousins.
Charles Slappey, a 6'8" center is expected to provide the
Commodores with the aggressive rebounding power.
This big man carries with him the potential of becoming the
school's leading rebounder. He also carries the weight of 203 lbs
and that in itself is an automatic "get down" sign to any
opponent,
In high school, Charles averaged 33 points a game. He is
rebounding average was 16 per game.
Charles says that his favorite shot is "from the corner".
Posing an even greater threat to Division 1 opponents will be
Charles' cousin, Eddie.
Eddie Slappey, a 5'10" point guard could possibly be the man
to fill the reigns held last season by Alfred Graham.
Averaging 15 points a game, and with his superior
ball-handling techniques, Eddie could become the floor leader.
His talent in assisting may prove very useful.
The Slappey cousins, Charles and Eddie
With a combination of this nature, the cousins may prove to be
unbeatable.

Aibritton feels that the
student body needs to get
together and become involved in
compus activities.
"I think that because we are
not built along the systems of a
university witli dorms and such,
people tend not ot stay on
campus for any period of time.
"My feelings are that we
need a different atmosphere,
one parallel with the universities, with students getting
involved." he said.
SGA is going to strive toward
creating more active campus life
by scheduling quality entertainment and educational programs."
Aibritton stressed, "We hope
to get support from all students
on campus. We are here to
serve them and we welcome all
suggestions and complaints."

student transportation.
Buses will provide students
with transportation to and from
Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka
with several stops along the
route to the Gulf Coast campus.
This service has been under

the idea has become a reality.
It provides students with the

avoid the hassle of driving and
the cost of gasoline.
