The twice weekly classes will be broadcast on Channel 22. Two of these are listed below, as exploratory courses. Students must take a midsemester and final examination on campus. The seminars offered with the courses are optional. Three hours of college credit can be earned in each course. (Not one credit hour as stated in the schedule, page 30, in the description of Fundamentals of Biology.)

Descriptions of the new (courses can be found in the newt college catalog, which will be/ available sometime in May. The college also offers a change in its orientation courses for new students. The old Freshman Seminar has been replaced by four courses tailored to the special orientation needs of different kinds of students. These courses will be shorter, 8 weeks instead of the entire semester, but will still count for one semester hour of credit. Several exploratory courses are also offered this coming fall. Descriptions of these courses can * be found in the back of the fall 1977 class schedule recently out on campus, but not in the college catalog. Courses are offered in computer science, office studies, science and mathematics, philosophy, and English.

In office studies, XC081A - Filing Systems and Records (See COURSE, page 3) Photos by Joy A. Sperry Gary Morrison Philip Murphy Photo by Paul Carden Paulette Marsh PROFILES—ISSUES In order to present impartial information on the candidates, Excalibur developed a questionnaire for them to fill out. AH candidates were asked to supply background information and to answer three questions. They 5re: 1. In your opinion what are the three most important problems the student government should work on next year? 2. How would you attack these problems? 3. What student activities or programs would you like to develop at* Takoma Park? Candidates for President: Gary Morrison, majoring in Radiologic Technology, in third semester. Member of Volunteer Fire Dept,, Waterford, Pa.; Associate Advisor, Explorer Post 299;' Member of University of Maryland Veteran’s Club. 1. Maintain a high quality éducation at a reasonable cost. 2. Make sure the instructors give us what we pay for and nothing less. Make the students aware of complaint procedures and assist them in any way. Hold more campus activities, such as movies and mixers. By allowing beer and wine on campus there would be better attendance at after-school activities which are an important aspect of a well-rounded education. 3 .1 would like to see the formation of student interest groups (Tennis Club, Chess Club). With such groups we would have more student involvement. Apathy is, by far, the worst problem we are faced with at this time. Philip F. Murphy, majoring in Economics and Communications, fourth semester. Chairman of MC’s Commons Advisory Board (1976-77), Secretary Protein to the student government Executive Council, reporter and news editor of Excalibur, Sunday school teacher, participant in MC student orientation programs. 1. Oppose the County Executive’s proposal that the $2 per credit hour special fee be raised ta $4, increasing full-time student tuition $24 per semester. Alleviate the campus parking problem by supporting the purchase of the Wilson-Pontiac lot, making 250 parking spaces two blocks away available to MC students. Support obtaining a Speech and Drama building, where plays and theater productions can be carried out for the Takoma Park campus. 2. The above problems will be dealt with by the County Council during the May-June budget sessions. At these sessions, the student government must voice its support for money the college has requested for th? Speech and . Drama facility and the parking lot. Student government must also oppose tuition hikes. It is not honest to increase the amount students must pay for their education and justify it by calling it a “ special fee.” 3. An organized tutoring system for students who need help outside the classroom. Rebirth of the International Student Associ ation. A study of how students can be affected by faculty collective bargaining (student con cerns might be sacrificed at the bargaining table). The continua tion of the campus newspaper Its existence has been sporadic over the last three years. The ad vent of beer and wine at campus Program Council events. The , formation of interest groups such as tennis, Christian and swimming. Candidate for Vice President: Paulette Marsh, majoring Radiologic Technology, first semester. President of high school class in 1973, Jamaica, also president of the International Club. 1. Better parking fAcilities. Better student-teacher relationship. More up-to-date library books. Longer cafeteria hours. 2. With the help of the students, and the president of the student association, and also with the approval of the Dean. 3. I would like to develop an international student organization in which we all share our cultural views. Day Care Bake Sale May 9 Buying a goody from the Day Care Center Bake Sale will be doing more than just satisfying a grumbling tummy. The proceeds from the bake sale will go toward purchasing a swingset for the Day Care Center. The make-shift swingset the center now has is constructed on an old clothesline of rope and board. One of the swings recently broke While a child was using it. Anne Goldstein (teacher director) said that the best word to describe the swing set is “crummy” . “We should have something better than that, remarked Anne. The outdoor play equipment which the center has is “very inefficient” . If enough money is not raised for a swingset, some new tricycles will be purchased instead. Parents will be baking goodies for the bake sale but donations from students, staff and/or faculty will be very welcome. If anyone can donate a tricycle the center could certainly use one. The bake sale will be Monday, May 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the courtyard between the library and the Nursing Pavillion. Contributions can be brought to the courtyard between 10 and 2. Vote Today! Student government elections, are being held today and tomorrow. The voting table is located in the Commons, near the entrance to the cafeteria. The position of president is being contested by Philip F. Murphy and Gary Morrison. Paulette Marsh is running uncontested for vice president. There are no candidates for the positions of treasurer and secretary. Special elections will be held next fall to fill these vacancies. All students -- full-time, part-time, special, foreign - are eligible to vote. The only requirement is a valid, up-to-date, student I.D. card. The I.D. must have a “SPRING 1977” sticker. The stickers may be obtained in the Registrar’s office, Student Services Pavilion. Voting hours are: Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. In the elections last year, both the presidency and vice-presidency were uncontested, and only 52 votes were cast. According to Student President Mary Merriman, “ a larger turnout is hoped for and expected since this year there is a choice for president.” Increased Parking The Wilson-Pontiac lot, located on Fenton and King Sts., will be available for parking in -September, 1977, according to Dean Robert Wiley. Students and faculty using the lot will be charged 10, an hour, 25, for three hours, and 50, for all-day parking. Allday parking, five days per week, would cost approximately $75.00 a year per student, plus the $10.00 per year fee. The County Council stipulated a fee for the Wilson lot, citing the expense of the land, according to Dean Wiley. The college Board of Trustees protested the fee without success. Montgomery College is the only county government agency that must charge a parking fee, Wiley said. The Wilson lot, with space for more than 200 cars, will have a security officer on duty at all times. Parking will also be available at the Fenton Street garage, although the number of spaces there will be reduced (See PARKING, page 3)
