SPOKE 1973 Volume 4 Barton County Community Junior College Great Bend, Kansas 2 When we first began writing the copy for the introduction to this book, we asked the reader questions about how to present a true picture of the year on cam¬ pus. But we realized that our purpose was not to ask ques¬ tions, but rather to provide answers. Answers to what happens during two semes¬ ters. Answers to what kind of people attend this junior col¬ lege. Answers to what this place has to offer. In short, answers to what Barton County Community Junior College is. Presenting an accu¬ rate look at the college is no simple task. We run the risk of over-emphasizing one aspect or under-emphasizing another. All we can do is present our perspectives — a culmination of twelve staff members ' views. What follows is Barton County Community Junior College. As we see it. Much more than just a junior college, BCCJC is a school of myriad fields, interests, and people . . It is a place for studying the techniques of karate ... for demonstrating finesse with the cue stick . . . for main¬ taining one ' s physical condi¬ tion through participation in intramural events . . . for acquiring experience in broadcast communications . . . for receiving instruction in electrical skills to apply to a future career . . . 3 For many different purposes, students ascend to the hill . . . to attend musical con¬ certs ... to run miles upon miles to condition for athletic programs ... to express themselves through various art forms ... to deplete their finances at enrollment ... to regain those finances through the work-study program . . . to move around campus in any possible manner ... to perfect stage talents in drama classes . . . The college provides a bowl¬ ing league in which the avid sportsman can compete with fellow students ... a study skills center where lectures on tape and film are available at the touch of a dial ... a cam¬ pus patrol to protect the col¬ lege both day and night ... a General Education Develop¬ ment program for those seek¬ ing a high school diploma . . . a variation from the campus routine with the establishment of flag foot¬ ball ... a music depart¬ ment to develop instrumen¬ tal and vocal abilities ... a library with innumerable research materials . . . 8 The campus furnishes a vari¬ ety of facilities . . . hundreds of periodicals to keep abreast of current events ... a place to relax — around the fire¬ place, in oversized foam chairs, or wherever. . . up-to- date equipment to study the intricacies of chemistry ... a gathering place for students and faculty ... a multitude of recreational facilities to occupy students ' minds between classes ... a circle of modern, spacious buildings BCCJC is a fine arts audito¬ rium without permanent seats, lights, or curtains ... a time in life when frustrations cannot always be vented in a civilized manner ... a school to train those interested in the medical profession ... a col¬ lege complete with its boring and wearisome moments . . . a business school to educate the student in the clerical field . . . home of the Cou¬ gars like about a million other schools, but home of the Bar¬ ton Cougars — one in a mil¬ lion ... a bookstore featuring an array of textbooks, paper¬ backs, student supplies, and wearing apparel . . . 10 n It is a college where the func¬ tions of the biological world can be explored . . . where the student has the opportu¬ nity to study the familiar and not-so-familiar more thor¬ oughly . . . where active dis¬ cussion in the classroom is emphasized . . . where physi¬ cal education activities are conducted in modern facili¬ ties . . . where the student can face the elements of nature on a canoe expedition into the wilds of Canada . . . 13 14 It is a school that offers the student a place to walk, talk, and think . . . that investi¬ gates the complexities of an automobile engine . . . that stresses athletic participation and competition . . . that involves both the administra¬ tion and student body in cam¬ pus activities . . . that offers snacks and soft drinks at any time of day . . . that takes pride in the students who attend it . . . BCCJC ... a junior college like many oth¬ ers .. . but there ' s no other place like it. 15 17 Paddlers Embark in Canoes, Wrestle With Mother Nature As compact and central¬ ized as it is, the campus extended all the way into the Canadian wild¬ erness last summer during two canoe trips into the Northlands. Fif¬ teen students and faculty from Bar¬ ton County Community Junior Col¬ lege were divided among the two excursions, one in July and the other in August, sponsored by Mr. Paul Biays, professor of English and philosophy. For 12 days, the voyagers navigated the waters of Canada, battling the elements and receiving first-hand experience of crude liv¬ ing. Whether they liked it or not, the vagabonds from central Kansas lived off of the land, consuming dehydrated trail food, using open- air toilets, and bathing in whatever water was convenient. Regardless of the hardships and absence of luxur¬ ies, though, the two groups viewed a part of North America they might otherwise never have seen, and learned to cooperate with others in rugged, natural surroundings. And, as if that were not enough, the stu¬ dents received two hours of credit in Camp Craft and Canoeing I. 18 1. Two daring voyagers show off their keen sense of balance while navigating a Canadian lake. 2. )im Manning knows where his next meal is coming from as he casts his line into a northern lake. 3. Members of the canoe group take time to wallow in the clear, serene waters of the Canadian wilderness before returning to the plains of Kansas. 4. Mr. Paul Biays, sponsor for both canoe trips, converses with members of the group about the many interesting events of the expedi¬ tion. 5. Mark Emerson displays one of the few products of civilized man which helped him survive the 12-day ordeal. 6. Without the aid of a motor, lane Petrich, Mike Devore and Guy Ernstein find maneuvering a canoe to be exhausting but pleasurable. 19 Enrollment Lines Lengthen; Student Numbers Decline For freshmen it was a totally new experience; for sopho¬ mores it was another boring repeti¬ tion, but for everyone it was enroll¬ ment time. Surrounded by a mass of computer cards, schedule sheets, and general information booklets, students met with their advisers, hunted down necessary signatures, waited in endless lines and bought their textbooks, all within a matter of hours. Adding to the frustration of enrollment, tuition increased from six to eight dollars per credit hour to compensate for the rising costs of higher education. Final enrollment figures showed that BCCJC had 116 fewer students than first semester last year, a trend that appeared in most junior colleges across the state. 1. Mr. Ken Shaheen looks over the schedule sheets in an effort to work out the best possi¬ ble class lineup for Mike Keating. 2. Hoping that the classes they want have not closed, Steve Murray and Harold Samson exchange their schedule sheets for stacks of computer enrollment cards. 3. The cost of higher edu¬ cation is felt by several students as they pay their fees at the conclusion of the enrollment line, with the bill for textbooks yet to come. 4. After an afternoon of roaming from station to station, Kirby Conley stops at the financial aids table as Mrs. Virginia Bird makes sure his scholarship check is in order. Hopes, Jitters Accompany Fall Cheerleader Tryouts Last fall, thirteen girls performed for a panel of faculty, student senators, and student body members in tryouts for positions on the cheerleading squad. The feeling of nervous anticipation, an element that accompanies tryouts of any kind, hung heavy in the air as only six regulars and two alternates were selected from the entire group. The cheerleaders, once chosen, readied themselves for the upcoming basket¬ ball season, when they would exhibit their vocal attributes and gymnastic talents before the crowd at all games. 1. Three cheerleader hopefuls work at con¬ vincing the judges to vote for them during the pom-pom portion of the tryouts. 2. Wendy White applies all of her concentration and ability as she performs for the panel in her attempt to gain a cheerleading position. 3. Cathy Smith, a member of the judging panel, carefully evaluates a candidate for the cheerleading squad before marking her vote. Autumn Concert Features Burgundy Street Singers In an effort to provide more musical entertainment for the student body, the Senate sponsored the Burgundy Street Singers, a musi¬ cal group that originated at Kansas State University. Now nationally famous, the Singers represent the Anheuser-Busch Corporation in its advertisements and musical tours throughout the country. Held in the college gym¬ nasium, the concert was poorly attended, with an audience of less than 300. Regardless of the sparse turnout, however, the Burgundy Street Singers provided a variety of musical entertainment, ranging from explosive rock music, to nostalgic 1950 ' s tunes, to foot-stomping bluegrass. 1. Returning to the bygone era of leather jackets, ducktails, and bobby socks, the Bur¬ gundy Street Singers perform their rendition of Teen Angel. 2. Helping advertise the product which made them famous, one member of the group sings the often-heard theme song from Budweiser commercials. 3. Two Burgundy Street Singers display their musical abilities both vocally and instrumen- tally. 4. Despite a sparse audience, the Sing¬ ers provide another example of the talent that has brought them success. 22 Baby Fascinates Audience As Students Fill Union Floor Fall activities on campus commenced with a Student Senate- sponsored dance in the Student Union. Baby, a well-known band in the Midwest, provided the music for the event, as over 400 people converged on the portable dance floor. Some spent the entire evening dancing, some sat and just listened to the heavy rock sounds of the group, and others did both. Appearing for the first time at BCCJC, Baby performed as a kind of experiment to determine how well they would be received on a junior college campus. By the response to the group, Baby, should perform at junior colleges more often. 1. One musician deftly plucks the strings of his electric guitar as Bab ' makes its first appearance at the college. 2. The percussion¬ ist is only a blur of motion while he works out on his drums. 3. The union floor is wall- to-wall people as the sounds of Baby capti¬ vate the listening audience. 23 Students Elected to Senate; Record Number Cast Votes As the campus settled into the routine of first semester, elections were held to select eight additional students to serve on the Student Senate. In order for their names to appear on the ballot, the candidates were required to collect 50 signatures on their nominating petitions. Four freshmen, four at- large candidates and two Student Union advisers were chosen for pos¬ itions on the Senate, joining the six senators elected during second semester last year. Two hundred ninety-five students cast votes in the lobby of the student union, making it the largest turnout to vote for Student Senators in the four-year history of the college. � 1. Searching through the computer list, Nancy Kincaid looks for the name of another stu¬ dent wishing to vote. 2. After voting in the Senate elections, Karen Penka deposits her ballot in the box as Winona Schultz makes her selection. 3.

SCOPE (Student Caucus on Political Events), an organization new to BCCJC, sponsored a voter registration drive to recruit first-time voters and those re-registering. The political organization registered 60 prospective voters during the two- day drive. SCOPE also mailed ques¬ tionnaires to citizens throughout Barton County to achieve a consen¬ sus of how people in the area would vote. A mock election was then conducted in the Student Union, with over 300 students and faculty participating in the voting. Results of the election corre¬ sponded with most voting trends among citizens in the county, state and nation. Down to the last min¬ utes of the 1972 campaign, SCOPE was involved, sponsoring an election-night party in the union, providing election returns, live entertainment, door prizes and booths for all political parties to dis¬ tribute material. 1. Considering the choices for various offices, Lana Rich concentrates on voting during the pre-election activities. 2. After registering to vote, Phil Burhenn and Kathy Watkins study the maps of their hometowns to find in what ward and precinct they live. 3. Mrs. Alma Deutsch and Mrs. Signe Pfannenstiel, faculty secretaries, receive ballots and instructions from SCOPE members before casting their votes in the mock election. 25 Cougarettes Exhibit Power, Nab Second Straight Title Compiling an overall sea¬ son record of six wins, one tie, and one loss, the BCCJC Cougarettes of Miss Pat Bauman stunned all oppo¬ sition as they snared an unprece¬ dented second state junior college championship. Pat Cadena proved to be the mainstay of the Cougar squad as she nabbed the state junior college number one singles title. Marla O ' Brien backed Pat up as the num¬ ber two singles player for the Cou¬ gars. The duo of Cadena and O ' Brien also combined to win the state championship doubles compe¬ tition. Plans for the future may look a little dim with only one returning letterman, but as Miss Bauman put it, I ' ll be out recruit¬ ing. 1. Sturdy Pat Cadena awaits a blistering serve. 2.

From one o ' clock on a Sunday afternoon until six o ' clock the next morning, the Union was the scene of a variety of talents, performed before a continual audi¬ ence and broadcast live over KVGB radio for the listening public. Every¬ thing from karate demonstrations to bedtime stories were included in the marathon ' s activities. Mrs. Jean Berscheidt, pro¬ fessor of speech and drama, directed the marathon, with over 400 people helping to make the effort possible. Although only a little more than $4,000 was raised, the Players were pleased with the total collected from their endeavor. 1.

Approximately 80 individuals participated on 8 foot¬ ball teams and 4 softball teams. As the fall semester con¬ tinued, basketball and volleyball teams were formed, and Barco bowling league competition began. When the semester ended, partici¬ pants awaited the continuation of intramural sports during second semester. 30 1. Professor Gary Tranbarger uses a hip fake in hopes to out maneuver an opponent. 2.

Whatever his major, the student could select from a smorgasbord of courses to lay the groundwork for his educa¬ tion before moving on to more detailed study at a larger college or university. The junior college was fully accredited with all state col¬ leges in Kansas, so the student would be assured that the classes he enrolled in at BCCJC would transfer to other colleges. 1. After a trying chemistry experiment, Elva Huslig washes the lab equipment. 2. Mary Steiner finds beginning guitar class a chal¬ lenge. 3.

The stu¬ dent had the choice of enrolling in a terminal program, such as nursing and secretarial science, in which study is completed in two years, or a transfer program, where his tran¬ script is sent on to another school when he leaves BCCJC. The variety of curriculum was not restricted to daytime courses, as the evening division offered something from nearly every department, in addition to general education development and adult basic education classes. 34 1.

This year several departments experimented with relaxed, less-structured classes where the student could learn at his own rate and according to his capa¬ bilities. While vocational-technical courses instructed students in valua¬ ble experience that would be applied in future occupations, sci¬ ence courses utilized the latest equipment for students to research the biological and physical worlds. 1.

Devoting three hours weekly to perfect drills and routines, the cheerleaders helped promote spirit and support for the team. But their participation was not limited to the sidelines of Athletic Teams the basketball court, for the girls managed all pep assemblies and designed posters displayed at games. Sponsored by Pat Bauman, professor of physical education, the girls encouraged the Cougars in all competition. 38 1.

Hoping to field a contend¬ ing team, Nagy and assistant coach Jack Bowman concocted a team that seemed most competitive. The only ingredient lacking was Nagy ' s phi¬ losophy, to be added October 12, the opening day of basketball. Blending pride with the intense desire to win, Nagy built an extremely dedicated team. After winning their opening game against Colby, Barton County looked to even greater foes. Before the second semester began, the Cougars had tied for first place in their own round-robin tournament, tied for first at the Cloud County tourna¬ ment, and dropped three straight at the Northeastern Oklahoma Classic in Miami, Oklahoma. During this period, the Cougars played three teams then ranked in the top ten of community college basketball and managed to defeat the then third- ranked Hutchinson Junior College Blue Dragons in two overtimes, 95- 94. As the season progressed Nagy developed this group of five lettermen and five freshmen into one complete unit. Emphasizing character and a never-say-die atti¬ tude, Coaches Nagy and Bowman moved the Cougars along the road of success and a 10-7 first semester record. 40 1.

The Cougars showed that when the chips were down they could win the important games. Defeating Garden City, Seward County, Cowley County and Pratt the team earned second place in the conference and a spot in the Region VI tournament After beating St. John ' s and Coffeyville, Barton County got another chance at Hutchinson in the Region VI finals. In a re-play of the previous year ' s final game, the Cougars lost to Hutchinson, but earned the respect of all the fans at the Sports Arena. 42 1.

Homecoming Spirit Prevails Despite Cougar Defeat Many colleges have had homecoming festivities for decades, but at BCCJC homecoming became a tradition only this year. Prior to the basketball game between Barton and Butler County, Karen Penka was crowned the second homecoming queen. Earlier in the week, she was elected by the student body from the six candidates who were chosen from a field of thirteen nominees by the basketball players. Following the game, Fyre, a rock band from the Empo¬ ria area, played at the dance in the student union. 44 1.

Despite what some critics termed an inactive govern¬ ing body, Senate instituted a num¬ ber of services, including the estab¬ lishment of a student complaint center open daily during the first semester and an open lunch period which allowed students and faculty to better use the campus cafeteria. Although the major objective of the Senate has always been to serve as a voice for the stu¬ dent body, this year emphasis was placed on improving communica¬ tion lines with the administration and faculty. Special meetings between Senate and faculty mem¬ bers resulted in a new relationship between the two groups. A limited budget pre¬ vented the Senate from accomplish¬ ing all of their goals, but the organi¬ zation managed to provide the stu¬ dent body with dances and con¬ certs, including such musical groups as Baby, Sugar Loaf, and Bur¬ gundy Street Singers. 1.

Their achievement was the third in as many semesters. The Interrobang, pub¬ lished bi-weekly by the BCCJC Press, involved the efforts of twelve students, who squeezed in time between classes and often worked long into the night to produce a pub¬ li cation which not only reported the news happening on campus, but interpreted current issues on the local, national and international level, as well. 50 1.

Under the direction of Mary Lou Appel, editor, staff members worked year-round to put together a book which reported the 1972-73 school year at BCCJC. The Spoke staff attended several workshops and exchanged books with other colleges to gather ideas for their own publication. Once the general organization of the yearbook was planned, the staff members began the task of making photo assignments, drawing page layouts, and writing copy. Their job did not end when school dismissed for the sum¬ mer, however, as they yet had to worry about meeting final deadlines, proofreading the pages sent from the publishing company, and distribut¬ ing the yearbooks during the 1973 fall enrollment. 1. |an Osborne, organizations editor, gets more ideas for club pages. 2.

Some organizations were involved with raising money. Psy¬ chology Club, Campus Gold, and Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship combined to sponsor a Shamrocks for Dystrophy drive in March in which contributions went to help the muscular dystrophy campaign. Radio Club sponsored a record sale in which many of radio station KBJC ' s albums were sold at bargain prices.

Repre¬ sentatives from several state colleges and universities visited the campus to aid transfer students in planning courses for next year and pre-enroll- ing for the fall semester. In late May, most stu¬ dents ' minds were occupied with thoughts of final exams. Students started studying in hopes of making up for time wasted during the semes¬ ter. But even though three days of finals were upcoming, campus organizations still found time for par¬ ties, banquets, and other activities to close the year. 1.

With some that ster¬ eotype may hold true, but not with 22 BCCJC students. Because of their involvement in both college and community activities, they were cho¬ sen as entries in the 1972-73 edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges. Selection for Who ' s Who was based upon scholarship, participation in academic and extra¬ curricular activities, citizenship, and service to the college. The students were nominated by BCCJC adminis¬ tration and faculty. 66 1. Lenora Prather, Susan Patton, and Gary Zorn browse through magazines in the college library. 2. Using her creative talents, Norma Ward works on a project for ceramics class. 3.

They aided in a nation-wide muscu¬ lar dystrophy drive and participated in the annual state Inter-Varsity retreat for college students at Rock Springs, Kansas. IVCF sponsored several concerts and speakers, including Charlie McPheeters and the Nebraska Christian College Choir.

The organization works to better understand the various aspects of psy¬ chology. 71 Students Participate in Dig, Excavate Human Skeletons When ten human skele¬ tons were discovered southeast of Great Bend in early spring, the anthropology and science depart¬ ments at BCCJC devoted many long and exhausting hours excavating the site and analyzing the bones. The diggings were turned over to David Martin, professor of anthropology, and Sherman Nystrom, professor of biological sciences, after the graves were uncovered by the flooding Wet Walnut Creek. They headed a volunteer force which weathered the wind and cold to remove the skeletons from the grounds. Once uncovered, they were transferred to the college, where stu¬ dents undertook the tedious and time-consuming chore of cleaning and analyzing the skeletal remains. 1. Seven of the ten bodies lie in their original position as buried over 100 years ago. 2. The excavators work rapidly to remove the skele¬ tons as the overflowing Walnut Creek washes away the bank. 3.

Gary Tranbarger, pro¬ fessor of physical education, again coordinated the vastly expanded program. The program was open to any student who was a non-par- ticipant in varsity athletics. Fea¬ tured sports were men ' s football, fall and spring basketball, fall ten¬ nis, fall and spring softball. Women also competed in the sports as well as several freethrow contests. Approximately 330 stu¬ dents participated in the fall and spring intramural programs. Of these students an estimated 150 participated in the spring program. 74 1.

Sponsored by the Interrobang edito¬ rial staff, the honor was awarded to a coed once a month during the school year, and her picture was featured in the student newspaper. At the end of second semester the Interrobang staff reviewed the ten selections and chose Wendy White Cougar Kitten of the Year.

Things we never expected. But they happened, and unfortunately for BCCJC, they weren ' t all good. This year ' s SPOKE has been devoted almost entirely to the positive aspects of the college. The achieve¬ ments of individuals and organizations deserved recog¬ nition, and we hope we gave them enough. But there was another side of the story which also needs to be mentioned. A side which doesn ' t look so good. Bad things hap¬ pened like faculty dismissals, curriculum cutbacks, and stu¬ dent unconcern. Enrollment started declining and money became very tight. The list goes on. And so this final page is devoted to the bad things that have happened this year, because they, like the good, affected every student, professor, and administrator on this campus. Good things and bad things. This is Barton County Community Junior Col¬ lege — as we have seen it. 144
