Montgomery County Community College was represented
in Washington D.C. by John
Crowley, president of Student
Government, and by Dr. Jack
Worthington, Dean of Student
Affairs, at the third annual
"Presidents to Presidents"
conference, held at toe Washington Hilton Hotel October 1,
2, and 3.
According to President
Crowley, the theme and general
feeling   of  the   speakers   and
To Be Offered
is spring
"Film Making - D170" will
be a new addition to the list of
classes students will find when
they register for next semester.
The three credit course, scheduled for Monday nights, will be
taught by Mr. Jon Dunn. Enrollment in the class is going
to be limited to 15.
Mr. Dunn, instructor for the
class, has an international
reputation as a film-maker. He
has held classes at Moravian
C oliege; Parkview School, Shipley School, and lectured in
Canada and Japan. He was a
student of Marshall McLufaan
in the field of "Mixed Media."
Mr. Jerry Annunziato, Associate. Professor of English, who
was instrumental in the formation of the course, briefly remarked, "It is unfortunate that
the enrollment must be limited
due to the lack of equipment,
but the college is happy to provide this course, and hopefully
open work in mixed media to
new dimensions." Mr. Annun-
ziato felt that Montco is extremely lucky to have procured
an instructor of such international renown.
The course hopes to instruct
students in the operation of
super 8 camera equipment, film
production, and editing and cutting techniques. When asked
about the goals of the class, Mr.
Dunn stated, "The idea is to
understand the philosophy of
Alms, the psychological effects,
who are you, what are you, and
what is film-making? People
have been conditioned to think.
the only way to learn is by
reading, and yet television is
actually a better source and in
many eases an easier way to
learn. We are going to explore
television and films because
they have not reached their full
potential."
Any student who has an interest in this course should try
to see Mr. Annunziato before
registration.
delegates was that the power of
the government must be removed from Washington and returned to the local community,
with greater participation and
leadership from young people.
The conference, sponsored by
the National Association of Student Governments, was attended
by representatives of over 500
colleges and universities. The
purpose of this conference was
to bring together Student Government leaders and administrators of colleges all over the
United States, for the discussion
of contemporary issues, aided
by a spectrum of views from
renowned speakers and delegates.
The program included talks
-by delegates such as Senator
Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota,
who spoke on youth opportunities and the eighteen-year-old
vote. Senator Fred Harris of
Oklahoma reacted on contemporary issues. In his address,
he supported more "youthpower". His nomination was also
announced as a contender for
Democratic candidate for
President. Representative
Peter McClosky of California
was also announced as a challenger to Nixon for the Republican Presidential nomination.
He cited the need for honesty
in government, and he noted
President Nixon's achievements and failures while in
office.
Other speakers on the agenda
included George Romney,
Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development; William Ruckle-
shaws, Director of the Environmental Protection Agency; John
Ehrlichman, Assistant to the
President for Domestic Affairs;   and Elliot Richardson,

Student Stabbed,
Assailant Escapes
Montco student John West was
stabbed in the arm by an unidentified youth at 2p.m. Thursday, October 7, as he sat in his
car on West Seventh avenue
near Fayette street.
The assailant disappeared
into College Hall. A search by
police, however, failed to produce a suspect.
Sergeant Pagliari of the Con-
shohocken Police Dept., who
answered the call, theorized
that the assailant was not a
student since eye-witnesses
were unable to identify him.
An investigation is continuing,
but Pagliari stated little hope
remains that the suspect will
be apprehended.
West was taken to Montgomery Hospital and released in
good coalition after treatment.
