OTHER NEWS STORIES - Possible war encourages dialogue of peace in campus community - Civil Liberties Fall Under Attack in Pursuing Justice - SCC Student Senate discusses plans for future parking garage - News Briefs Here are some of the goings on reported in The Ebbtide for this week in... Teresa Peters Copy Editor 1973 The Ebbtide dedicated a page and a half to the wind-down of the Vietnam War. Staff writer Don Creery provided a Front Page opinion piece about granting amnesty to draft dodgers and military deserters. On Page 3, hearting-gripping anecdotes, like the following, were provided by veterans: "The initial shock of war had sapped my spirit," wrote Rich Todd. "I kept asking myself, why must man destroy to preserve?" In the same issue, another story detailed the student body legislature's debate over whether to find room in the general budget for the Veteran Club, and the University of Washington's Army ROTC program ran a recruiting advertisement, offering draft deferment while in school and a $100-per-month stipend. 1983 A substantial state budget deficit was forcing the legislature to consider cutting Shoreline Community College's budget by upwards of $200,000 to $400,000. SCC President Dr. Ronald Bell speculated that if the high-end cuts were made, all part-time faculty positions would have to be eliminated for spring quarter '83. On a more positive note, the Shoreline mens' basketball team laid waste to the Olympic Community College team, winning 104-51. On the back page of The Ebbtide, a death-row inmate from the state of Arizona advertised for a penpal through the Classifieds section. Also, a workshop for "Math Anxiety" was offered in the "On Campus" briefs column. 1993 The paper produced a two-page spread on Club Day, a daylong introduction to the extracurricular activities on campus. Among the many participants were the Archery and Fencing clubs, the Dental Hygiene Club, Art Force and the Worldly Philosophers and Dismal Scientists Society. Columnist Kevin Sam rebutted the rebuttal to a piece he'd written about leftist corruption. "Today's Egalitarian supporters all have an acute case of fascism," Kim wrote. Another article touted a four-week study tour at Trinity University in Ireland. Writer Tim Michael was impressed by the program's literary emphasis, as well as the school's proximity to the Guiness brewery. © 2003 Shoreline Community College™
