Welcome, Class Of '72 Welcome, Freshman Class, to the third largest (in enrollment) institute of higher learning in Alabama, but the best (numbers aren't everything) university in the South. Now that you have survived registration and almost a week of classes, it is time you become familiar with the Chanticleer. The Chanticleer is the official JSU student newspaper and is published every other Monday at no cost to the students. We hope you (and your 4,000 upperclassmen) will read the Chanticleer, and what's more, we want you to contact us when you have news of interest. Our office is located upstairs in Hammond Hall, in case you ever need us. We welcome all suggestions and invite you to ex- press yourself in our letters to the editor section. L JS The Bookstores The Chanticleer does not endorse or solicit business for any of the three bookstores in Jacksonville. It's your money, spend it where you please. It's just that during the past few semesters, several complaints have been registered against bookstores in general, so we set out to make a study to filter out rumors from facts. We were not asked by an official of JSU or bookstore rep- resentative to make the study, and all three bookstores Stamped, Spindled and Mut i lated welcomed the study. --LJS Fact Or Fiction Broke Your Many so - called influential persons on campus have [From My Point boasted they have a great deal of bearing on how students .:.
