March 1,1968 THE WORD Page 3 What Time Is It ? Campus Clocks Confusion Goes Back To Architects It must seem a little strange to outsiders coming on campus the difficulty in finding out the correct time. It is also exasper- ating to those on campus to have to rely on watches for the time; especially if you don't wear one. Last year the campus clocks worked correctly. The problem started last August when the li- brary opened. It was discovered that the new clocks were on the wrong frequency from the rest of the campus clocks due to a wrong part in the clocks. The clocks are from Simplex in Syra- cuse and very \up-to-date\ in their functioning. All the clocks are plugged into a main clock, which corrects the others twice a day. Also in the late summer Ni- agara Mohawk Power Corpora- tion did a major power change- over on campus; they increased the voltage extensively. After this was done, a mistake was found. There was a phase inverse which made certain parts of the campus electrical system work in reverse. Niagara Mohawk re- turned to fix this problem. Since that time the clocks have been functioning incorrectly. No one really knows what the prob- lem is: That is whether the wrong part caused the trouble, or the short period of time that there was a reverse phase. The prob- lem is that the clocks are re- ceiving messages for corrections from some outside source on the same frequency, other than the \main clock.\ This is what causes them to suddenly begin to go ahead. ^ At this time the problem has been put back into the hands of the architects, Parker-Soper, to be handled. Until this problem can be worked out, the campus clocks will function \out of order.\ Spring Dedication Still Being Planned The dedication of Phase II in Jefferson Community College's construction program will be Sunday, May 19, at 2 p.m. John G. Phillips, head of the planning committee for the occasion, said that it will be an Open House, Parents' Day, and Dedication combined. The ceremonies were originally scheduled for October; however, neither building was complete at that time. The gym- nasium, in which the dedication was to be held, was without a floor, and was not enclosed. These factors, plus the possi- bility of inclement weather, led to the postponement. Mr. Phillips said the main speaker for the occasion would be Philip Fortune. Mr. Fortune was the first chairman of the Board of Trustees at Jefferson Community College, and the for- mer manager, and later president of the local division of The New York Air Brake Company. Since that company's merge with Gen- eral Signal Corporation, he has been chairman of the executive committee of that corporation. Other than the announcement of the date, and the selection of the principal speaker, other plans for the dedication are still in the formylative stage. Phase n includes the new library and the student center. The new facilities housed in these attractive buildings and in such a scenic setting provide the students with a greater oppor- tunity to realize the motto of the State University: \Let Each Be- come All He Is Capable of Being.\ Calendar Confusion Take- a look at the academic calendar for the 1968 Spring Semester in the college catalog and in the Student Handbook, book and you'll probably wonder what's up. ; The dates in the catalog for recess and final exams don't agree. The catalog states Spring Recess begins Thursday, April 11, and classes resume Monday, April 15. It also states finals are May 20 to May 24. The handbook dates Spring Recess from April 5 to April 15. Finals are from May 27 to May 31. Which do you believe? Actually the Student Handbook is correct and we have ten days Spring Recess instead of five! We also have finals a week later than stated in the catalog. Students (cont'd from page 1) Howard and Carol A. Howard, both of Antwerp. Also, Kenrick E. Howard, Alexandria Bay; James R.

Jenkins, The (Hermitage, Mo.) Index. Faculty Hoopsters Impressive The faculty aces of the court have compiled a fantastic record of four wins and only one defeat. The JCC Professors, ledby iron- men Jim Jerome and Jerry Wet- terhahn, outscored their op- ponents with a slow brand of hus- tle and dazzling (or confusing) play. Jerome and Wetterhahn played in all five games, aver- aging 13.4 and 6.8 points respec- tively. Rene Valentine was the top scorer, averaging 14.6 in three games. But the Profs could never have succeeded without the speed, skill, and rebounding of \Frenchy\ Curtin, who donated 49 points in four games. The first faculty encounter found the Clayton Merchants vis- iting the JCC gym between semesters. Valentine was high scorer (20) as the Merchants went down to defeat, 57-48. But the fac- ulty hoopsters were hard-up until Curtin arrived late in the first half. From there on Clayton had no chance. Ron Bush paced the faculty in two consecutive games. Bush hit the bucket for 25 points as the State Police were unable to con- tain the over-powering display of talent of the faculty. The score was 62 to 48, but a few of our in- structors received bruises along with the glory of victory. Everybody thought that the fac- ulty would be easy prey for the Newman Club, and it looked that way until late in the game. In the last minute of play, the faculty tied the score, and won it in the last seconds, 67-65. Bush con- tributed 17 points in the effort. Jerome was high with 27. The teachers finally went down to defeat at the hands of the Wat- ertown Lawyers, 62-51. Butare- turn match found the faculty back on the winning road, Wetterhahn leading the way with 14 points. A third game between the two teams is upcoming.

CISGA MEETING HELD On Wednesday, February 7th, the third CISGA meeting of the year was held at Onondaga Community College. A week end meeting to plan the State Convention was arranged. It will be co-sponsored by Jefferson Community College and Canton A.T.C. Each college in Region II was given a job to do at the state convention. Quite a bit of time was devoted to discussion of common campus problems dealing with student apathy, student council, and communication. The impor- tance of Freshman Orientation was stressed in maintaining school spirit. NEWMAN CLUB Newman Club is continuing its weekly meetings at Trinity church this semester and invites all interested students. On Saturday, Feb- ruary 17th, about 30 members of Newman Club took out the 40 children at St. Patrick's Children's Home. The students took the children to see the movie \Jungle Book\ and then out for pizza. A reminder: Every Sunday night a folk mass is held for the campus students at McAulev Hall. MISS THOUSAND ISLANDS Preliminaries for the 1968 Miss Thousand Islands Contest will be March 30. Prizes will include scholarships, trophies, gift certificates and other gifts. College -contestants include Donna Dancause, Diana Burrows and Michele Martin. Connie Sprague, a campus secretary, is coordinating the program for the Jefferson Community college entrants. CHORUS Many may not be aware that JCC has a chorus. It is a small group but members enjoy get-togethers and activities. It meets.every Tues- day at 4:00 to practice under the direction of Miss Meri Gabbert. A business meeting is held on the second Tuesday of each month in Mrs. Goodness' office. Due to a conflict between Drama Club and Chorus, the chorus lost Mr. LaPierre as advisor, but in the process gained Mrs. Goodness and Mr. Baker. The chorus is now in the pro- cess of starting a music library and recently submitted a budget for next year. The chorus welcomes new members at any time and is always interested in new faces and ideas. WHO'S WHO?
