The \All enchantments die; only cowards die with them.\ Charles Morgan Volume 2 — Number 5 Jefferson Community College, Watertown, New York March 1,1968 Where Walk McGrath Realizes Danger Although the road leading into Jefferson Community College is a pleasant, scenic approach, it is also hazardous for the pedestrian student. Because there are no sidewalks leading into the college the pedestrian commuter must walk along the shoulder of the road. Here he is constantly in danger of being struck by a passing automobile. The danger increases when adverse weather conditions make the roads slippery or icy. Snow may tempt the pedestrian to try walking in the middle of the road where he has to dodge incoming and out- going cars. Loaded down with books he is apt to become care- less - when a motorist thought- lessly exceeds the speed limit for one reason or another their com- bined carelessness may cause a serious accident. The inherent dangers of this situation have been brought to the attention of John P. McGrath. Dean of Administration. He said, Ex-Student Convicted Of Stealing ID Cards A former Jefferson Community College student has admitted stealing identification cards from the college and selling them to minors who sought to use them as proof of age to buy alcoholic beverages. Kevin R. Larkin, 19, of 86 Spring Street, Adams, was fined $250 and received a suspended six months jail sentence. Larkin, a laborer, pleaded guilty to a petit larceny charge before town of Watertown Justice Frederick T. Jones. Authorities said the youth's parents paid the fine. The youth was arrestedby Dep- uty Sheriff Eugene G. Piddockand Adams Village Policeman John Burns. Deputy Piddock said Larkin stole eight I. D. cards at the college last September and sold seven of them for $2 each to underage youths in the Adams section who wanted to use the cards as proof of age when buying alcoholic drinks. Piddock said Larkin was a student at the col- lege at the time, but has since dropped out. Deputy Piddock said officials at the college had cooperated fully in the investigation of the case. in an interview, that the admin- istration had discussed the prob- lem but that it had reached no decision concerning the building of a sidewalk. One reason for no action seems to have been that the question arose whether such a sidewalk should follow the road- way or whether it should lead through the grove adjacent to the road. Mr. McGrath said further that he thought the construction of such a sidewalk was a good idea. He added that before any action could be taken the approval of the ad- ministration would be necessary. This would be followed by the drawing up of plans, the submis- sion for bids, the possible re- quest for an appropriation to cover the expense of the project and the actual construction. He pointed out that such details would take time and that it would be some time before the actual side- walk could be constructed. In the meantime all motorists should keep in mind that there are pedestrians using this road, and the pedestrian should remember that he is in an extremely dan- gerous position. By exercising caution any accident may be pre- vented while work proceeds to re- move the cause of the hazard. 35 Students Share $2,500 1 In Awards The Jefferson County Commu- nity College Scholarship corpor- ation has awarded spring sem- ester scholarships valued at $2,500 to 35 students at Jefferson Community college.
