Choir
enrollment
high
TJC’s concert choir which now
has a record enrollment of over 70
members, plans several concerts
over the fall semester, according
to Larry Guess, director.
The concert choir will perform a
varied repertoire consisting of
rock and folk spirituals, choral
clasics, Christmas cantata, cur-
rently popular hits and other
music. The fall concert will be
Dec. 8 at 4 p.m.
In the spring semester, the
choir will travel to Los Angeles on
its annual spring tour. The choir
will also host the area high school
and junior high school choirs in a
one-day solo and ensemble festi-
val to be held on the TJC campus.
Tentative plans include devel-
opment of a choral camp to be
held on the TJC campus during
May at which time area choir
members will be invited to
participate in an all-area chorus.
The TJC Chamber Singers also
have many activities planned in
addition to their concert choir
activities. On September 20-21
the singers will attend a rehearsal
retreat to be held at a local
encampment.
In late November, the Chamber
Singers will travel to the Houston
area performing in local high
schools and churches. In the
spring, they will begin a recruit-
ing tour to every area high school.

Should draft evaders be grant-
ed amnesty? Action Line asked
several students and faculty
members this question and
received varied opinions on the
subject.
Monica Pajestka, Holland: “I
think they should be granted it
(amnesty) on certain conditions.
The only people I feel sorry for
are the people who went to
Vietnam and are handicapped
because of that. These people are
going to come back, and they’re
not handicapped so they’re going
to find a job.”
Frances Garmon, Health and
Physical Education: “I just think
that I know too many people who
are willing to serve in the armed
forces and, of course, there are
some who lost their lives and it
(amnesty) cheapens the fact that
they did their part.”
Brad Russell, Temple: “Not
just total amnesty but partial.
Like work in a hospital or some
other volunteer organization—
kind of earn their way back.”
Alan Hood, Temple: “Yes, I
think they should have amnesty
in all circumstances.”
Donna Bohac, Granger: “I
don’t think so, because I think
they should support their coun-
try and fight for it.”
John Navarette, Belton: “Yes,
if they are brought back and put
on some type of non-agressive
type job—because that is what
they don’t believe in in the first
place.
Patsy Supak, Granger: “I
think it should be granted
unconditionally because the war
was never officially declared.
On the birdge of Avignon,
you’re only a few miles from
the Palace of the Popes, a
Holiday Inn and the section
of France Van Gogh went
crazy over!

The 1974 yearbook, the Tem-
plar, may be picked up in the
journalism department on the
mezzanine in the ASU building.
The yearbook is “free” to those
who attended TJC during the
spring and fall semesters last
year.
Individual pictures for stu-
dents, faculty and staff for the
1974-75 TJC yearbook, the Tem-
pler, will be taken September
18-20, Sallie Aldridge, advisor to
student publications, has an-
nounced.
The black and white yearbook
pictures will cost $1.25. Persons
may purchase approximately 10
black and white billfold prints and
a package of color pictures at an
optional price of about $3.50. Two
poses will be taken, allowing the
person a choice.
The exact time and place for
having yearbook pictures made
will be posted at a later date.
Clubs make plans
for coming year
ly. The Baptist Student Union
has plans for many other activi-
ties throughout the school year.
The co-sponsors of BSU are Mrs.
Bobbie Jean Marshall and Mrs.
Amelia Turner.
The Business Administration
Club is mainly for students
interested in the field of business
administration. Mrs. Melva
Hobbs is chairman.
The Science and Social Science
clubs are offered for students
interested in any phase of the
sciences. Their chairmen are Pat
Simpson and Mrs. Mary Farrell.
The Newman Club is also a
church-oriented organization. It
fosters the spiritual, intellectual
and social interest of Catholic
students and all interested in
Catholicism. Neil Scott is spon-
sor.
People shouldn’t be forced to
fight a war that doesn’t concern
their country directly.”
David Grugger, Temple:
“Well, it was a moral issue for
many. I feel unconditional am-
nesty should be granted. They
left because they felt it was
morally wrong.”
Dr. H. C. Farrell, dean: “I am
very pleased with the stand that
President Ford has taken with
amnesty. I think it took a lot of
courage to go before the Ameri-
can Legion in Chicago and
express the opinion that he did.
Historically, we have always had
amnesty after a period of time. A
lot of people never would have
suggested it, but he did.”
Dr. Marvin R. Felder, presi-
dent: “I think Gerald Ford had a
good point when he said he was
following the precedents set by
Harry Truman and Abraham
Lincoln in permitting draft evad-
ers to work their way back into
society.”
Steve Wilson, Temple: “Yes, I
think it should. It’s not that they
didn’t want to fight the war; it’s
just that they didn’t think war is
right. It might have pulled them
out of college where they were
studying for a life’s vocation and
they may not have wanted to do
it.”
James Taylor, biology instruc-
tor: “Conditional amnesty—yes. I
think that President Ford is
correct in that they ought to
work their way back. The details
of working their way back should
be left up to the people in the
justice department and people in
-the military for those people who
are deserters.

President Gerald Ford signed a proclamation September 8 pardoning
Richard Nixon from all his Watergate dealings from January 20, 1969
to August 9, 1974, the day he resigned.
This is not fair! People who took orders from Nixon were put in jail,
so why should Nixon be set free? — he was the one who got everyone
involved in the first place.
The Republicans are in favor of the pardon, but the Democrats are
not. Poor people would have had to pay the supreme penalty for all the
mess Nixon got the United States in to, but because Nixon is rich, he
has gotten off.
President Ford feels that Nixon and his family have suffered enough,
but because Nixon has made other people suffer because of what he
has done, I feel that he should also have to “suffer” by serving a jail
sentence.
Perhaps our government has not improved with Nixon’s resignation
and Ford’s succession — it has decided that it is right to let criminals
go free because they have “suffered enough.”

With the fall term at Temple
Junior College underway, many
of the school clubs and organiza-
tions are making plans for the
coming year.
The Circle K club plans to
meet soon to elect officers for the
fall semester. Co-sponsors, Wel-
don Cannon and Mrs. Gwen Hauk
are planning activities much like
last year. Cannon said that this
club is mostly a service club and
most of the activities are for the
benefit of people in need of help.
The Rodeo Club affiliated with
the National Intercollegiate
Rodeo Association (NIRA), was
formed to promote the ideals of
the Old West. The club, sponsor-
ed by Johnny Rose, plans to have
another rodeo much like last
year’s.
The Baptist Student Union
started its activities early by
having a calendar of events for
the semester made into a small
pamphlet and having students
hand these out at registration.
The BSU also plans to have noon
luncheons for the students week-
