Historical author runs museum
By Greg Glass
"My primary interest is on historical
writing," said Stanley
Hamper, SMC museum
director and author.
"Wilderness
Survi val," Hamper' s only
finished book, was
written in 1963, and
is in
its
third
printing.
Hamper
published the book
himself,
since no
publisher wou]d divide the royalties
to his liking. "Wilderness
Survival,"
deals with what to do
if stranded in an
unfamiliar area, and
Hamper
recommends
that hunters, hikers,
and canoers read the
book.
The book has
been advertised in
magazines:"Field and
Stream",
"Michigan
Outdoors", and "Boy
Scout
Magazine".
Parts of his book
have been reviewed
on "Michigan Outdoors"
and another
television program.
"Civil War Times
Magazine," has published an article
written by Hamper on
segments of another
of his books, "The
Blue Rise," which is
still in
form.
manuscript
"The Blue Rise," is
a book on the life
of , Hamper's
great
grandfather who was
a
tugboat captain
in the Union navy.
The book covers a
short period of the
Civil War, particularly the battle of
Vicksburg, which his
great
grandfather,
Charles "Heck" Gulick,
took part in. Gulick
died after the war in
1868, of malaria.
The title "The Blue
Rise," Hamper said,
has nothing to do
with the color of the
uniforms, but it is
about a clear blue
~ise in the water of
the Mississippi which
the navy prefers over
a muddy rise
for
navigation."
Hamper is writing
another book entitled
"Archeology
for
Children."
His research has yielded
enough material for
several other books
which he has
put
aside temporarily.

many items being shown in the first of three
museum exhibits this year.

L~Amityvi lie II'
rates three
By Don Smith, Jr.
If you would like to see a good scary
movie, don't go see "Amityville II: The
Possession."
A nice attempt is made to
make this film scary, but the story just
doesn't deliver, unless the viewer happens
to be under the age of ten.
story is not bad although the dialogue in
the first third of the film is so atrocious
that it is laughable.
The acting is all right, but the stars
don't have too much to do, because the film
centers on the boy and the priest.
The
stars include James Olson as the priest,
Burt Young as the boy's father, and Moses
Gunn as the detective.
The first movie, "The Amityville Horror,"
was a far better movie than this one.
In
fact, I suggest you catch the first one on·
its return trip to cable TV. As for "Amityvilly II," I am not recommending it for
children, and I don't think I can recommend
it for adult viewing either.
On a scale
of 1 to 10, I am going to give it a 3.
Student Services plans
fun for students
"Amityville II" is a film whose story
takes place before events in the previous
film, "The Amityville Horror." "Amityville
II" is therefore a pre-sequel or "prequel"
to coin a new word.
The story concerns the Montenelli family
as they move into an ordinary house,
the
same house that the Lutzes from the first
film moved into two years later.
Right
from the very beginning, despite the ordinary house,
it looks like things are
going to be a little different.
After getting settled, the Montenellies
experience all kinds of strange going-ons
such as tables that fall over, crayons that
write on walls, mirrors that consistently
fall, and a voice that comes over the oldest boy's walkman tape recorder telling him
to kill his parents.

Another event is

"Alien"
will be shown at 2

According to critics,
"Alien" is intelligent, stylish, and

"Alien" is

SMC's musical groups offer a lot
By Don Smith, Jr.
Like go o d
oldfashioned rock-androll music ?
What
about middle of the
road?
Or popular?
Or even upbeat jazz?
If so, you might find
thatSMC'sJazz Band,
Chamber Si ng ers and
Concert Ch oir have a

The band is curre ntly under the directi on of J avid S.
Mester,
i :1 s t ructor
of music, !·~is '.;.awaka,
Ind. He is also the
director of t :.e Chamber Singers a nd the

Mester s t a:ed, "My
goal
for

jazz
band this semester
is to have them become used to playing
together and to solidify
the
total
group effort.
The
band has a Christmas
concert to perform
for yet, as well as
a concert outside of
school in December.
Next semester we will
be playing more cone e rt s
out s i de o f

Next semester, the
Chamber Singers will
be going on the road,
too. Mester is putting together a half
hour show
of pop
music for the singers
to perform. The new
name of the Chamber
Singers is SMC Show
Choir.
This new approach
is . reminiscent of the
music shows that are
performed ~n theme
parks
like
Cedar
Point and Opryland U.
S.A. The group will
consist of ten singers, four membe1·s of
a backup band·, and
Mester.
"The SMC Show Choir

and use

choreography," said
Mester.
"The Concert Choir

Tutoring program needs tutors
Have some time to
give to help someone?
Here's you r chanQe
as SMC's
:utoring
program needs tutors
now.
Any student
who
has taken a particular course if he received an "A" or a
"B" can tut or for
that course.
Or, a
student who is doing
well in a current
course can be a tutor
for that course.
The Student Services office is the
place to apply to be
a tutor. First, the
student will be in-
terviewed
and his
G.P.A.
checked to
determine his placement
as
a tutor.
Additionally,
the
instructor
may be
consulted.
Once the student
is accepted as a tutor, the hours he
will tutor a student
can be arranged by
those two persons.
Usually those
who
need the services of
a tutor will have to
try to meet with the
tutor when he
is
available.
Now that the time
is scheduled,
the
tutor and the student
can locate a room to
use with the help of
student
services.
Or, the tutor
and
his student can decide upon the best
location for their
lessons.
Also the
tutor can decide how
many hours he will
tutor a week, but at
least two hours a
week is desirable.
RussEll
Knapp,
coordinator,
said
that students should
welcome the opportunity to tutor as they
will receive a commendation on their
permanent file, they
will learn more about
the subject by teac
ing it, and they wi
earn money if th
choose to charge
fee.
Any financi
arrangements are b
tween the tutor a
hiE student and a
in no way arrang
by the school.
The service offer
by Student Servic
is a referral servi
which determines t
capability of
t
tutors, coordinat
room use, and serv
as a clearing hou
for initial conta
between tutor
