Paul Biays, professor of Eng¬ lish and philosophy and canoe vet¬ eran of 16 years again served as the chief outfitter and guide. of 21 portages (hauling the five can¬ oes over land from one body of wa¬ ter to another) the explorers braved the elements in their search for ad¬ venture. Many of the portages en-_ countered were heavily laden with fallen logs and jutting rocks. After spending all but one day in Leaving Ellinwood, Kan. on July 31 the group headed north enroute to the Way of the Wilderness. Stocked with freeze-dried food the band of explorers set out looking for adventure on Canada ' s northern lakes. Faced with poor fishing and a total Canada, the weary travelers re¬ turned from their excursion August 12 with abounding memories of the Canadian wilderness. For their ef¬ forts each enrolled member re¬ ceived one hour of credit in Physical Education and one hour in Recreation. 34 1. Treacherous rivers presented many prob¬ lems for the water travelers with jutting logs and rocks. 2.

Newly appointed Student Senators, under the aus¬ pices of President Pam Harris, initiat¬ ed plans for an involvement filled year. In an effort to boost attendance at dances the senate sponsored several functions during the week instead of on weekends and accomplished their goal. In addition, senators sponsored a 1950 ' s bash and sold pizzas in the Student Union before a home basketball game, Seven sena¬ tors were also assigned to Faculty Committees that conducted a self- evaluation for the North Central Association of Colleges and Second¬ ary Schools. As the first semester came to a close 1. Senate Secretary Signe Pfannenstiel dili¬ gently records the official business of Student Senate. 2. Vice-president Kenny Sc hwamborn collects his thoughts before leading the sen¬ ate to a final vote. 3. Senators Dee Tiday and Tom Bartels relax during an important meet¬ ing. 4. Robert Rumble, dean of student serv¬ ices, presents his plan while Marshall Macy, director of the student union, ponders the measure. 5. Mary Riffel listens intently as sen¬ ate proposals are debated by fellow senators. 6. Marvin Neuschafer makes a point while Rex Barber and Gia Stalcup await further discussion. several senators became disinterest¬ ed as attendance at meetings fell. The condition worsened with the inactivity that the Christmas holidays brought. Marred by ineffective leadership during the second semester a small core of senators shouldered the burden and successfully set the wheels of student government churning. Although small, this group of senators performed their duties with tireless effort. During the spring semester senate sponsored the return of the blood- mobile, the renowned anthropolo¬ gist Richard Leakey as well as the Homecoming festivities and the In¬ augural Ball. In an effort to broaden the scope of on campus activities the Student Senate sponsored the rock band Blackberry Winter on Monday night, October first. The Senate felt that dances held during weekdays would increase attendance over the previously held weekend dances. The objective was realized as more than 200 students gathered to dance and listen to the sounds of the Topeka based rock band. Robert Rumble, dean of student services estimated that the attendance was one of the largest for a dance on campus. Week-nigh t activities became a trend during the fall months and were carried over into the remainder of the school year. The overwhelming success of the dance set the stage for an event filled year. Blackberry Winter Ushers in Year; Union Filled With Capacity Crowd One of several highlights occuring during the fall semester was the selection of the morale boosting cheerleaders. Tryouts took place for the 1973-74 season on the afternoon of September 26 in the gymnasium. Thirteen coeds opted for the eight positions left open by graduation. Pat Bauman, professor of physical education, again served as sponsor and instr uctor. Daily practices were scheduled at three o ' clock each afternoon. Long afternoon hours contributed to the overall perfection of their routines. Accenting the appearance of the squad were new uniforms consisting of light blue skirts and sweaters trimmed in yellow and orange. In addition to the newuniforms which the girls paid for individually, the older, traditional uniforms were also used. Throughout the BCCJC athletic season the cheerleading squad provided enthusiasm and spirit whether the athletes were competing at home or facing opposing foes on unfamiliar ground. Fall Tryouts Yield Cheerleaders; New Uniforms Accentuate Season Students Relive Nostalgic Era; Beboppers Hop to 50 ' s Rock On Halloween night BCCJC students embarked on a journey into the past. The event was a Student Sen¬ ate-sponsored 1950 ' s dance with The King Midas Rock and Roll Re¬ vival providing the music. Long pleated skirts, high ponytails, bobby socks, and saddle shoes were once again the style. Guys with rolled-up jeans, slicked-back hair, white T-shirts and socks were king. Nostalgia swept through the audi¬ ence as the beat of rock and roll music filled the Union. Among the activities for the evening were a number of contests related to the ' 50 ' s era. The bash began with a lip-synch contest. Pat McAtee and Larrv Bradford, professors of speech, were named winners with their imi¬ tation of the Ever-Lee Brothers. A chance to prove one ' s skill with a wad of bubble gum was also provid¬ ed. Amid chomping jaws, sticky faces, and messy hair, Brad Woody succeeded in blowing the biggest bubble. Of the contestants in the dance con¬ test, Kristi Parry and Steve Dobbs bebopped their way to first place. Awards were presented to those with the most original attire. Claudia Reiser, best-dressed girl; Tom Bar¬ tels, best-dressed guy; and Debbie Moeder and Dennis Gerstner, best- dressed couple, came outfitted in the true spirit of the evening. 42 1. Cuddlebug star Greg Reinhardt capti¬ vates swooning females with his rendition of Cuddle-buggin ' Baby. 2. Doug Rees seats his girl, Jane Heaton, in his hot ' 57 before leaving for the ' 50 ' s bash in the BCCJC Stu¬ dent Union. 3. Winning the lip-synch contest the Ever-Lee Brothers, portrayed by Pat Mc- Atee and Larry Bradford, receive their trophy from Evan Keenan, master of ceremonies. 4. Pam Harris, Jan Keating, and Lynette Petz bebop to the one-time hit tune Lollipop. 5. Tim Duncan keeps the beat going as the Cuddlebugs keep on rolling. Cougarettes Undergo Tribulations, Work to Overcome Inexperience Faced with the seemingly insurmountable problem of inexperience, the Barton County Cougarettes began the 1973 tennis season hopefully. Pat Bauman, professor of physical education, once again guided the Cougar netters in their quest for an unprecedented third state junior college championship. Starting slowly, the Cougar women were defeated with regularity. However, as the season progressed the squad improved and the zero- five dual meet record they compiled was not indicitive of their performance. Pat Bauman succintly stated, We started the season with four girls who didn ' t have much experience, and later in the season those very girls defeated the more experienced girls on other teams. Included in their record were second place finishes in their own Barton County Invitational and the Kansas State Junior College Women ' s Tennis Tournament. Individually Mary Lou Polzin paced her teammates with an outstanding 11-1 record which also included a first place finish in the singles division of the Kansas State Junior College Tournament held in Hutchinson October 15. Cougar Golfers Swing Into Action, Action Leading Conference End The Cougar golf squad ended the fall semester holding a three win and one loss record and leading the Kansas Jayhawk Junior Conference with an overall point total of ten. Individuals did not dominate the team as each player contributed equally to the success of the squad. Coach J.B. Webster attributed the cooperation to the ability of each individual to make up for the mental lapses experienced by fellow team members. In addition to hosting and winning their own invitational, the Cougars also won tournaments in Kansas City and Dodge City. Their only loss was a fourth place finish occuring at Neosho County Community College. The Cougars went into the winter lay-off hoping the excellent style of play would continue and lead them to the conference championship in the spring. Lack of participation dominated the intramural scene during the fall semester. Gary Tranbarger, coordinator of the intramural program, attributed the low level of participation to either apathy or failure to understand announcements concerning the program. The apathetic atmosphere began in football with only two teams existing and then switched to swimming as less than 20 students turned out for the swim meet. Basketball, however, seemed to demonstrate an upswing in participation with eight teams competing in a round-robin tournament. Barco bowling league also illustrated the trend toward more activity with 12 teams bowling every Tuesday night. Intramurals Short On rv Participation; B-Ball, Bowling % v Strong On Support ' • ¥  f — ! Students Donate Needed Blood; Fall Short of 110-Pint Quota The American Red Cross Bloodmo- bile visited the BCCJC campus on November 28 and again on March 28. Sponsored by Student Senate, the Bloodmobile was set up in the Physical Education Building on cam¬ pus. In an effort to encourage do¬ nors, a contest was held between all campus clubs with students donat¬ ing to the club of their choice. Do¬ nations were also made to specific needy people. Adding another dimension to inter¬ scholastic competition, contests were conducted between all area junior colleges and a trophy was awarded to the college donating the most blood. Although the trophy was lost in the fall, Barton County attempted to retrieve it in the spring. The quotas for this year were higher than those of any previous year, yet Barton County fell only nine pints short of the 110 pint quota for the fall. The number of willing donors turned down for medical reasons was quite large and considering this, the long range results were good. Nursing students aided the Red Cross in handling the donors as the flow of contributors remained steady during the morning hours. According to Sister Mary Ann Klein, director of nursing, the results were quite satisfying. 50 1. The outcome: a pint of blood for some needy person. 2. Annette Ridder and Linda Blide donate their time to keeping records of those who donate their blood. 3. The ordeal completed, Debbie Zeman spends a relaxing minute after donating blood. 4.

Ed Sell keeps a watchful eye as a Red Cross nurse records his blood pressure. 51 IVCF For the first time in its three-year existence Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship became recognized as an official campus organization in the fall of 1973. IVCF was sponsored by Paul Biays and Louis Kottmann and its first semester president was John Sterling. The club met twice weekly to provide an hour of discussion, Bible study, and prayer for interested students. RADIOCLUB Radio Club, directed by officers Mark Pool, Don Appel, Mike Dougherty, Norman Langley, and sponsor Bill Ohlemeir, presented a play-by-play program of home basketball games broadcasted over KBJC, the college radio station. They also assisted in making radio announcements for the Kansas Association of Public Community Juniors Colleges. LAE Lambda Alpha Epsilon, local chapter of the national law enforcement fraternity, set its goals at providing a more professional image for its law enforcement members with emphasis placed on scholastics, according to Pat Reed, club president. Along with managing the concession stand during a home basketball game, LAE sponsored two speakers that lectured on gun maneuvers and safety. Other activities included UMOC — Ugliest Man On Campus contest in an effort to raise funds. Randy Feltis received the most money and was named Ugliest Man On Campus. VICA The BCCJC chapter of VICA, Vocational-Industrial Clubs of America, raised money by operating the concession stand during a home basketball game. They also sponsored Monty Widener at an auto skills contest in Salina. Widener was able to qualify for nationals at Wichita where he placed fourth. Campus Clubs Start New Year, Set Goals for Involved Season LIFE SCIENCES In an effort to become more aware of the human body as a functioning unit, the anatomy, physiology, and biology classes learned aspects of the three forms of life. From the human nervous system to the behavior patterns of the smallest living creatures, students studied the essence of life itself. FINE ARTS The BCCJC debate squad, composed of Sally Streck, Kathi Skolaut, Gwen Washington, and Randy Watson, compiled a 26 win 19 loss record in four tournaments for the 1973-74 season. The debators attended tournaments at Omaha and Kearney, Nebraska; Edmond, Oklahoma and Kansas City with the highlight of the season a third place finish by Streck and Skolaut at Central State University at Edmond, Oklahoma. APPLIED SCIENCE Students acquired skill in the fundamental operation of computers by practical applications of the computer to solve business and scientific problems. Initiating individual projects of their own and assisting the college administration, students worked to understand the operation of computers and their value to society. Students Endure Academic World, Gain Knowledge in Chosen Areas I winter Spring Numbers Reach Peak Enrollment Confronts Students; With Christmas long gone and the new year well settled, vacation days were over and it was time for spring enrollment. Snow and cold winds failed to deter students as enroll¬ ment figures reached the highest spring enrollment and the second highest overall enrollment in the history of the college. During January 10 and 11 a total of 1,082 students waited in endless lines to become BCCJC students. For the 438 enrolling freshmen it was a bit more familiar than last time and for the 306 sophomores it was just one more time. Of the students attending BCCJC 541 were daytime students, 444 were nighttime students, and 338 were special students. A major reason for the rise in enroll¬ ment was the Outreach Program, initiated at the start of fall semester. The program provided college cred¬ it classes taught off-campus to three counties outside of Barton and in¬ volved approximately 200 students. 58 JtfOk 2 1.

Featuring a Snack Bar as well as a Cafeteria, the Union sustains stu¬ dents throughout the day. Contain¬ ing an excellent bookstore and a number of large meeting rooms, the Union ' s facilities are used by outside organizations several times each month. As was originally planned, the Union is financed by revenue bonds. All fees, rentals, and service charges acquired by the Union building are paid by the bond-holders and in return, all Union income is promised to the bond-holders. The average annual income of the Union, including the government subsidies, is $97,772.03. At its present rate, the Student Union will have paid for itself by the year 2001 — only 27 years from now. 1.

Held in the Fine Arts building, the rally attracted some 100 participants from Kansas and six surrounding states. IVCF also sponsored the appearance of Honeytree, a Christian folk writer and singer, who presented a number of meaningful songs and interesting stories. SIGMA SOCIETY At a get-acquainted party to start the year, Sigma Society president Sally Koogle outlined the purpose of the club as a service organization to both the college and the community. The sorority busily aided the Cougar Boosters by selling tickets at home basketball games. They also assisted the Great Bend Soroptimist Club, sponsors of Sigma, with their annual chili supper. STUDENT NEWSPAPER For 13 students, campus life at BCCJC revolved around room 105 of the Student Union. In that office, long, frustrating hours were spent producing the student newspaper, the INTERROBANG. The newspaper staff began the year with much uncertainty and confusion. With few returning journalists and little experience from new members, the staff was unsure as to the direction of the Interrobang — if it could get off the ground at all. But it did get off the ground, and by the time classes resumed after semester break, the Interrobang staff had established its style and organization, and was able to produce a bi-weekly publication that encompassed much of the news happening at BCCJC. It was a year of experiences, though discouragement often outweighed gratification. But despite myriad complications, the student journalists built the Interrobang to what many felt to be one of the finest community college publications in the state. Winter Season Includes Activities; Club Members Prove Dedication Struggle to Maintain Superior Quality Individuals Pursue Personal Interests, BUSINESS Familiarizing themselves with the operations of various types of office machines, students spent seemingly endless hours learning the intricacies of Secretarial Science. After studying the fundamental principles of Accounting, students faced the ultimate test of their ability as they struggled to complete their practice sets before finals. Completing the spectrum, students explored the underlying principles of the economy as well as the practices of big business through their Economics classes. HUMANITIES From the theories of psychology to the application of sociology in a Big Brother-Big Sister program, students learned behavioral patterns of the individual as well as those cultural factors which affect behavior. By means of their English and Literature classes, students discovered the complexities of composition and developed a deeper appreciation of written material. In an even finer area, music students worked with principles of sightsinging and harmony to further increase their musical ability. APPLIED SCIENCE Spending a day riding in local police cars, students from Criminal Justice classes gained firsthand experience of police routine. Skill and precision become a necessity in welding as well as in drafting courses as students attempted to complete individual projects. Whether learning the FCC rules and regulations governing air traffic or the complexities of operating varied types of machinery, much time must be devoted to out-of-class work. T7 Cougar Kittens Produce Spirit; Courteous Actions Set Example Sponsored by Dick Nagy, basketball coach, and Vaughn Brown, director of the computer center, a group of 12 girls were organized and called the “Cougar Kittens. The purpose of the group was to generate enthu¬ siasm and school spirit on the cam¬ pus and in the community. Adding color to the games, the girls wore uniforms consisting of orange pantsuits which they had made themselves. To finance the outfits, a bake sale was held in October. Duties they performed at the games included keeping a sense of organi¬ zation, selling tickets, and providing instructions to visiting fans and offi¬ cials. In addition, they furnished cokes to the team, the cheerleaders, the press, and helped keep statistics. The Kittens also assisted in activities other than basketball. These includ¬ ed helping with the March of Dimes Walkathon, track meets, graduation, and showing prospective athletes the campus. 1.

Cougars Start Season Strongly; Build Impressive Holiday Mark The beginning of the fifth Barton County basketball season was sig¬ naled October 15 as long practice hours were once again initiated. Cougar Coach Dick Nagy along with Assistant Coach Jack Bowman began the tedious task of conditioning a squad blessed with only two sopho¬ mores. Coaches Nagy and Bowman instilled the squad with the neces¬ sary ingredients needed to achieve a berth in the Region Six playoffs later in March. Starting quickly the Cougars jumped into the winning column by defeat¬ ing their first three out of four non¬ league opponents, including a sec¬ ond place finish in the Cowley County Classic. Turning their attention to the fifth annual Cougar Classic the Cougars sharpened their claws and reeled off three straight victories to nab the round robin championship for the second time in three years. Before semester break the Cougars faced four opponents which includ¬ ed two conference tests on oppos¬ ing floors. The Cougars defeated both conference foes in addition to smothering Colby Junior College at home and succumbing to the Kansas State Junior Varsity at Kansas State. During the Christmas holidays the Cougars held an impressive overall record of eight wins and two losses and were undefeated in conference action with two victories. 68 1.

In conjunction with Valentine ' s Day, Homecoming festivities were appro¬ priately centered around the Queen of Hearts theme. Ellin- wood sophomore Mary Riffle was crowned as the fourth Homecoming queen during cermonies preceding the game with the Pratt Community College Beavers. Five finalists were selected from a field of 14 coeds nominated by var¬ ious campus organizations. The field Homecoming Festivities Unique; Hearts Theme Provides Mood was narrowed by the basketball squad when they designated the five finalists. The queen was chosen during an all school election which preceded Homecoming activities by a week. The Student Union was decorated in suitable fashion with hearts and oth¬ er traditional Valentine trimmings. A dance followed the game with Dr. Feelgood providing the music. 1.

Four of the six games they dropped were conference games which endangered their chances for a Region Six playoff berth. Attendance and support, however, did not flounder as loyal fans faithfully cheered the Cougars out of what seemed to be a mid-season slump. A rough schedule that included seven of ten games slated to be played on opposing floors promised to be a nemesis for the squad. It became evident, however, that the Cougars would not go down without a fight as they managed to defeat three of seven road opponents. These victories included two out of three wins in the Cloud County Classic in addition to a conference defeat over Pratt on the road. The Courgars avenged an earlier loss to St. John ' s in front of a home crowd before dropping three straight conference games. Two of those defeats were by margins of one point each. Included in those narrow defeats was a controversial loss to the Seward County Saints in which an Ike Harper lay-up was not allowed because neither official saw the play. The obvious field goal became the difference in the same as Barton County lost by a mere one point. During the mid-season slump the Cougars overall record slipped to 12-8 while their conference record stood at three and three. It became apparent that the last eight conference games would be crucial if a regional play-off berth was to be attained. Long, tiring and often frustrating hours characterized practice sessions as the team toiled to overcome the apparent slump. Cougars Endure Mid-Season Slump; Road Schedule Becomes Nemesis Inclement winter weather forced intramural activity inside as bowling, swimming and basketball dominated the winter intramural scene. Barco bowling league featured 12 teams with the Bud Man capturing the overall team championship. The league also offered awards for high ten and high thirty for both men and women in addition to the most improved average for men and women. The heated indoor Olympic size swimming pool offered competition and comfort from the prevalent chilling winds. Three new records were established as a result of outstanding performance turned in by Stan Bieker and Charma Shiroky. Bieker set records in the 25 yard bre ast stroke and side stroke while Shiroky established a new record in the womens 25 yard breast stroke. Other medal winners included Roy Wynne, Kelley McCulley and Steve Glenn. Intense competition characterized the intramural basketball scene as four of the nine teams fought each other tenaciously. Competition was carried into the spring to decide the champion. Other activities included free throw contest for men and women. Donald Atkinson won the mens division for the second year in a row while Jackie Laudick was designated the women ' s champion.

Jj ' jSsj T Gerald Ford Keynotes Festivities; Campus Assumes Political Mood Months of planning and millions of man hours were culminated April 13 when Vice President Gerald R. Ford visited Barton County Community College for a fund-raising dinner sponsored by Barton County Repub¬ licans. Ford was appearing in behalf of Kansas Senator Robert Dole and Representative Keith Sebelius and his visit marked the first for a Vice President to a community college. The omniscient figure of Secret Service men became the hallmark of the Ford visit as they were present weeks in advance to prepare plans to secure the campus. Ford was orig¬ inally scheduled to speak in Great Bend but through the efforts of Dr. Paul Hines and Senator Dold his appearance was changed to the ju¬ nior college. Strict precautions to protect the Vice President became reality as plans became finalized for Ford ' s appearance. Rainy weather kept anxious Repub¬ licans waiting for Ford to appear at the reception held in the Student Union. Reception tickets sold for $50 a person and the union was filled to capacity for the event. The Vice President appeared approximately one hour late and, surrounded by Secret Service, strolled through the union greeting supporters. Spend¬ ing a minimum of time at the recep¬ tion the Vice Presidential entourage quickly moved to the confines of the library where members of the press corps awaited the beginning of a brief press conference. 78 1. Members of the press corps, including five student journalists from BCCJC, await the ar¬ rival of the Vice Presidential party. 2. Standing to be recognized, one press member ques¬ tions the Vice President about his religious beliefs. 3. Bomb squad specialists check cam¬ eras and tape recorders for possible foreign objects. 4.

Flanked by Senator Dole and Congressman Sebelius, Vice President Ford fields another question. 79 Ford Arouses Enthusiastic Crowd, Speaks Amid Chicken and Cheers While Vice President Ford was greet¬ ed by local Barton County Republi¬ cans and conversing with members of the press, there was another ele¬ ment who anxiously awaited the Vice Presidential party. They waited in the 2,500 seat college gymnasium, and to make their wait a bit more pleasant they ate chicken, Western Kansas Style. Because of the delay in arrival the people were ready to lis¬ ten to the words of their Vice Presi¬ dent when he appeared surrounded by a wall of Secret Service men. Kansas Senator Bob Dole and Con¬ gressman Keith Sebelius provided the necessary introductions and Ford rose to a standing ovation of thunderous applause. Ford ' s 20- minute speech was centered around the importance of the small busi¬ nessman and the farmer in today ' s modern economy. Ffe also spoke of the energy crisis and the importance of maintaining the two-party system of American government. The Vice President talked of the na¬ tional matter of the impeachment of President Richard Nixon. Ford char¬ acterized the President as being, in good health both mentally and physically and in my opinion on the basis of all the evidence I can see, he ' s innocent of all the charges that have been made. The partisan crowd illustrated their approval with another standing ovation.

The ceremony took place at 3:00 in the campus gymnasium. Preceding the ceremony, freshman nursing students performed a skit which presented a comical outlook of the nursing faculty. Featured speaker for the event was Sherman Nystrom, professor of biology. There was a large crowd of friends and relatives on hand to share in the relief, happiness, and excitement felt by the graduates. They all joined together following the ceremony to enjoy the refreshments being served and the thrill of attaining a long, sought-after goal. 1.

Four teams jockeyed for position while the Hutchinson Blue Dragons sat cozily atop the Western Jayhawk Junior Conference. The Cougars were in the thick of the battle much of the time in an effort to secure the coveted play-off berth. The outlook looked somewhat hopeful until Barton County payed a visit to Hutchinson Community Col¬ lege. The Cougars were able to keep Hutchinson super star Teko Wynder bottled up the entire first half as the lead changed hands numerous times. The Blue Dragons rallied in the second half to defeat Barton County 81-67. Back in front of the home crowd the Cougars rallied to defeat Cowley County and Pratt to boost their re¬ gional hopes. Traveling to Seward County, the Cougars dropped a nar¬ row contest by two points and be¬ fore they could recover Dodge City defeated them on their own home floor. The stage was again set for a crucial game as Hutchinson came to town. With 17 minutes left in the game the Cougars were down by 16 points and Hutchinson threatened a romp. The Cougars fought steadily back until they had chipped the lead to four with :47 seconds left. It proved to be too little too late as the Cougars lost not only the game but the regional berth. Sophomore Ike Harper fittingly ended the season by setting the all- time scoring record for a single game as well as career total points. Teammate Clair Oleen also grabbed a school record when he snared 25 rebounds during the Dodge City game. 1. A quiet Cougar bench watches the last minutes of the Garden City game. 2.

Students Explore Historical Material, Give New Vitality to Ancient Theories ARTS AND SCIENCES Learning the properties of heat, sound, matter, and energy and applying these principles to daily life filled the time of many Physics, Chemistry and Physical Science students. Unleashing some energy of their own, students participated in many sports. From intramural basketball to swimming, bowling, or weight training, students found ways to stay healthy. Whether simply acquainting themselves with fundamental mathematical concepts or adding still more to what they already knew, many hours were spent untangling boggled minds. Unveiling their creative material, Ceramics and Painting students shared their work with others in their spring art exhibit. SOCIAL SCIENCES Through the various history classes offered, students gained insight into events of the past and the effects of those events on the future. By studying present political activities and applying them to the democratic system, Political Science classes explored the essence of the governing system. By means of their Anthropology courses, students surveyed various cultures and their customs. In an effort to comprehend some of the basic concepts, theories, and truths prevalant today, students of Philosophy pondered the original teachings of many ancient philosophers as well as the modern interpretations of those teachings. Senate Sponsors Inaugural Ball; New President Featured Guest With the approach of finals and hot summer months drawing near, Stu¬ dent Senate held its final dance, In¬ augural Ball, on April 20. The annual ball was held to install and honor the newly elected Stu¬ dent Senate president, Carlton Spencer. The semi-formal affair began with singing entertainment by Jane Hea¬ ton, Bonnie Laughlin, and Dave Hal- bower, Music for the dance was provided by the group “Smoke Ring. In addition to dancing, many stu¬ dents occupied themselves with games of pool, ping-pong, and foos- ball. The snack bar furnished free drinks for the crowd in attendance. Presentation of speeches was post¬ poned until halfway through the dance in an effort to reach a larger crowd. Speeches were given by Spencer, out-going president Kenny Schwamborn, and a number of oth¬ er active senate members. 88 1.

Before the surfacing project the track had been used only for practice by the Cougar track squad as home track meets were held at the local high school track. A tartan surface may later be installed if funds become available but until that time the track sports a rubberized asphalt surface for all track and field events. The Cougar squad lacked depth but not desire during the 1974 spring track season. Showing strength in the sprints as well as the field events the squad improved immensely from the showing made by last years team. The squad never finished lower than fourth in conference meets and was always in reach of their opponents. One new school record was established by Lorraine freshman Terry Lank with a time of 14.7 in the high hurdles. This time smashed the old record of 15.8 set by Jan Voth in 1972. Other top point getters included dashmen Willie Reed and Doug Panning as well as shot putter Rick Carter. Lank and Panning both qualified for competition in the National Indoor and Outdoor track meets. Coach Jack Bowman summed up the season stating, The squad was small in numbers, but they were always willing to go the extra mile for the team and the coach. The outlook for next spring seems bright as Bowman also said, We ' ve got a good group of frosh coming back for 1975. As winter blossomed into spring outdoor activities began to reappear on the intramural scene. In addition to basketball, which featured a one- on-one tournament, slow-pitch softball attracted enough students for a four team league. The intramural basketball season came down to the wire as Forp (Prof spelled backwards) captured first with a win-loss record of nine and three. The Jocks placed second with an eight and four record followed by the Caveliers and the Bissell Bailers with identical seven and four records. The James Gang placed fifth with a five and five record while the Aces were last with a zero and ten count. The Aces were good natured losers as they won the league Sportsmanship Award. For the first time in the history of the intramural program a one-on-one tournament was held. Danny Aves emerged as the champion as he defeated Kent Tutak 30 to 26 in the finals. The Bissell Bailers nabbed first place in the softball league with an undefeated eight win record. The Softballers placed second with a four and four record while Forp could manage only a three win and four loss record which was good enough for third. The Village Drunks lived up to their name as they placed last winning only one game and losing six. Spring Attracts Intramural Activity; Leagues Produce Intense Rivalry ft vt Novice Team Exceeds Expectations, Holds Promise for Future Endeavors After two years of planning and in¬ tramural competition, the women ' s track team began its first season of full inter-collegiate competition. Boasting a roster of only ten partici¬ pants, the squad competed in seven full-scale coed junior college meets. Starting out the season with an abundance of inexperience, the BCCJC women ' s track squad prog¬ ressed to a fourth place finish in both their own invitational as well as the Butler County Invitational. Total¬ ing 17 points in their own invitation¬ al and ten points during the Butler County Invitational, the Cougar team surprised many by scoring at all. Pat Bauman, women ' s track coach, felt that the squad made a very good start considering their inexperience and should be able to use this to their advantage in the future. 2 1.

Cougar Linksters Step into Spring, Place Second in Conference Action After finishing a sizzling fall season on the golf links which ended in a first place standing in the confer¬ ence, the Cougar golf squad eyed the upcoming spring competition with high hopes of a conference championship. The squad held a one-point advantage over Seward County and a two point edge over Coffeyville, needing only to place ahead oMhose two teams to clinch the championship. Both opposing squads placed themselves in conten¬ tion early in the spring season by grabbing important points at the Independence tourney. Prior to the Independence tourna¬ ment the golfers skidded to a sixth place finish at Pratt and fell one stroke short of first place at El Dora¬ do. The sterling play present in the fall season seemed destined to obliv¬ With just two remaining tourna¬ ments left and the conference championship still in doubt the squad began to feel the mounting pressure. A poor fourth place finish at Seward County further jeopard¬ ized the Cougar ' s chances. At the final tournament in Hutchinson the golfers could manage only a fifth place finish as they placed second in the conference to the Seward Coun¬ ty Saints. Kevin Brown tied for first place medalist at the tournament. Regional golf competition took place May second and third in Hutchinson with the Cougars vying for a berth in national competition. The squad finished eighth place despite shooting their best total of the season. Kevin Brown again tied for first place medalist with a 45 hole total of 195 to lead his teammatess. ion and the squad struggled vainly to recapture their form. 96 1.

Along with regular meetings, Sigma presented the school with three hair-dryers and two linen tablecloths to be used on campus. They also contributed $10 to the United Fund, Heart Association, Cancer Fund, Helpline, and March of Dimes. RADIO CLUB Radio Club held its Spring Awards Banquet March 29,1974, featuring speaker Bill Clark, manager of KCKT TV. During the ceremony Phil Grossardt was named Most Promising Student Broadcaster and Larry Buel was awarded for his work on the play-by-play program. LAE Lambda Alpha Epsilon held its annual awards banquet May 3,1974, to recognize LAE individual and group achievements. Gary Wise received the academic award, while Pat Reed was named LAE ' s outstanding graduating sophomore. Recognition was also given to a number of students for high ratings in collegiate firing contests. STUDENT YEARBOOK Inexperience, uncertainty and frustration combined to plague the 1974 SPOKE staff with seemingly insurmountable problems. Because of the termination of the journalism program the future of the yearbook was uncertain. Recruiting and maintaining a competent staff became the ultimate problem of the uncertain start. Students came and went, much to the dismay of the dedicated staff which strove to make the SPOKE something special. Deadlines began piling up and those students that cared fought to create a book that was unique. Discouragement mounted as students were forced to work into the summer months to meet the important final deadlines. Satisfaction was not to be known until the following fall when the SPOKE would be distributed for all to judge. Spring Fever Induces Club Action; Campus Served in Various Ways Inclement Weather Delays Speaker Short Ceremony Delights Students Because of the absence of a speaker, the graduation ceremony for 1974 was surprisingly short. Bob Dole, who was to address the graduating class, was delayed because of bad weather. The students, however, heard an improvised speech by Dr. Paul Hines, college president. Another unique aspect of gradua¬ tion was the music. Instead of the usual Pomp and Circumstance, the students and faculty marched in to Gigue, by Teleman, a duet for organ and trumpet, performed by Paula Hollembeak, organist, and Marc Webster trumpet. Presenting the Associate degrees to the students meeting the require¬ ments were the members of the Board of Trustees, Dean Wells, chairman, Tillman Ochs, secretary, Robert Hilgendorf, Robert Keenan, and Richard McGrath, assisted by Dr. Hines. I. The graduating class of 1974 stands while R. J. Gotschall, pastor at the First United Meth¬ odist Church in Hoisington, delivers the invo¬ cation. 2. Larry Branch makes final adjust¬ ments. 3.
