They have provisional or permanent teaching certificates granted by the State Board of Education after completion of a bachelor's degree program The request has been formally presented to the Battle Creek School District administration which operates the center for area students un al further with Jump, who is out of town this week. Any administration agreement to the request would have to be tentative, pending ratification by the board of education before it could become effective. If the administration and board do not consent, or if another meeting isn't held within a "reasonable time," Nicholson said the BCEA would petition for a hearing WHY WAIT? ORDER NOW!

Their certificates are granted for one year and then must be renewed every three years, Miller added. Sometimes termed "nonprofessional" or "nondegree" personnel, these teachers currently negotiate their salaries and contracts individually with Clifford Jump, center director. Besides some of the vocational center teachers, the BCEA also represents about 520 teachers and other instructional personnel in the Battle Creek School District who have provisional or permanent teaching certificates. The BCEA first presented i representation request during negotiations in 1969 with the Battle Creek Board of Education, said Robert Nicholson, BCEA executive director. Since it has not yet been approved through the negotiations route, the BCEA resubmitted a formal request this fall, Nicholson added.

He said two informal discussion meetings on the proposal have been held this fall between BCEA officials and district administrators, including Supt. Harry R.

I never excelled athletically as a youngster I was only 135 pounds and, for that matter, the school I went to played sports for fun. "But once I was a big man in school; I won $112 on Derby race when I was a senior in high school. Broun, who recently purchased a castle in southern Ireland to convert to a hotel, is busy travelling the country covering sports spectacles, running two recording companies, and doing CBS news coverage. He had a good word for Battle Creek. "I was here in 1938.

The town doesn't seem to have changed much I think, from these days, that's to its think it is silly that a youngster's marble tournament be given news coverage on the same basis that the Super Bowl might. "But consider the pressure on an 11-year-old marble player in world championship competition. The shot he makes with that wet, slippery, round piece of glass, over some damp clay, may determine whether or not he wins a $5,000 scholarship. "I think that pressure on an 11-year-old is as great as the pressure a mature professional athlete endures." Broun, a Swarthmore graduate where he was numijer six man on the table tennis team contends sports do not build character. "Sports reveal character," he says.

"And I enjoy writing of sports because, I think, madness the fierce devotion to succeed competitively is essential to greatness; and I write of people who are interesting and not necessarily those whom I like B.C. CENTRAL HIGH SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ST. PHILIP HIGH SCHOOL LAKEVIEW HIGH SCHOOL HARPER CREEK HIGH SCHOOL PENNFIELD HIGH SCHOOL AND ALL OTHER SCHOOLS One of Broun's favorite athletes is Joe Namath, oft-injured quarterback with the faltering New York Jets. "Namath is a purity in sports. Of course he is in the news as much off-field as on.

But he isn't pretentious; he has great desire and he's the type of quarterback unlike some who, when the team is losing miserably in the late stages of the game, will still try to win and not throw those short passes that some quarterbacks throw with the idea of keeping their statistics good taking precedence over the team's winning." The former sportswriter lor the New York Star contends that sports figures are either "comic" or "tragic." "Muhammed Ali has spontaneous if unpredictable humor; Pete Reiser, former centerfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers, was one of those door-die athletes. He cut his career short by running into stadium walls chasing fly-balls; Mickey Mantle played ball swathed in bandages and By TOM MILSOM Legally, there may not be a Heywood Hale Broun, noted sportswriter, CBS news commentator, and one-time actor. "My father was a famous man, a famous writer, and a great sportsman. My grand-IE a was also a great sportsman. I was named after him and became Heywood Broun, III.

"A few years of following in the footsteps or being expected to of these men was frustrating. So I took it on myself to call myself Heywood 'Hale' Broun the 'Hale' is'" my mother's maiden name." His initiative in changing his name as a youth may have set a pattern of the unusual, the sometimes-forgotten, and the little-publicized events of which he mokes interesting news. Broun, speaking to a concert-lecture series audience Tuesday night in the Campus Theatre at Kellogg Community College, said, "Sports are. sports. People sometimes by the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC).

i After hearing all parties in- volved, he explained, MERC would determine whether the additional vocational center teachers are eligible for representation by the BCEA. If thet determination is Nicholson continued, MERC would decide who would be eligible to vote in a representation election and would call such an election. There appears to be precedent for the BCEA request. Nicholson said temporarily certified vocational teachers are represented by a Michi-g a Education Association unit at the Lenawee Vocational-Technical Center in Adrian. Noting that more than half of the center's teaching staff here is comprised of the temporarily certified instructors, Miller said, "There has never been a sufficient supply of to choose from.
