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.

Political Action Organization Initiates Election Activities The political air accom¬ panying the 1972 general election found its way onto the campus last fall. 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
