CCC President John Keyser was chosen as one of the top fifty community college leaders in the U.S. by a na tional study conducted by John Roueche and George Baker at the University of Texas in Austin. i “It’s not who they are that’s important, it’s what they do that’s important,” Roueche stated. Dr. Roueche explained that the study was started to iden tify what they call “Transfor mational Leaders.” These are college leaders who have had a significant impact on their institutions and the com munities they serve. “They’re a change-oriented administrator versus a status quo type administrator,” said Roueche.

He said the war corrupted, all branches of American life: the military, the news media, and the English language -- stressing the euphemistic Orwellian rhetoric that only served to mislead the public. “If I had done what I did in Russia (oppose the war) I would have been put in jail. In jail I could speak. Here. I’ve been ig nored,” he said. He stressed that “the soldiers were called upon to act in an un- American way.” McCarthy said that the United States will not get involved in another war like Vietnam for another 50 or 60 years because the public will not allow it. “Every president should have a ‘Grenada,’ ” he joked. “A week after the president is elected they can have soldiers invade Grenada and the president can feel that he has won a war.” McCarthy said the only positive things to come out of the Vietnam war was the War Powers Act and the 18-year-old vote.
