The school year of 1977-78 will long be remembered as not only one of the most important years in Barton County Community College history, but also one of the best. Many new developments came into being. The new living centers were used for the first time, the beautiful new edition to the technical building was com¬ pleted, several new tennis courts were added and Camp C. R. Al¬ drich was purchased. These were but a few of the changes brought about in this year. But probably the most important one, for which you the student can take the credit, is that our enrollment reached an all time high. As of April 1, 1978, there were 2,173 (Staff photo) students enrolled. These figures reflected a full-time equivalency of 1,015 students. For all of these things, our beautiful campus, fine facilities, faculty and administra¬ tion, we can all be proud. And nothing could have been accom¬ plished without “YOU”, the stu¬ dent body of B.C.C.C. 18 (photo by Vickie Triplett) (Staff photo) 19 (photo by Vickie Triplett) Student Life 21 Humanities Offer Wide Variety Of Classes Interpersonal Communications offers a relaxed atmosphere on the B.C.C.C. campus as this photo points out (Staff photo) The vocal music program, headed by Prof. Ken Shaheen, is one of the most well respeci groups on campus.

It is headed by Prof. Paul Biays. Not only does the regular college schedule include classes in camping canoeing, but also the summer school schedule includes canoe trips to Minnesota Canada as well as back packing expeditions into the Rocky Mountains. More more students, both old young alike, are being drawn to Barton County Community College to take advantage of these unique offerings. Prof. Biays has led these excursions for the past seven years and hopes the program will be expanded to include more trips in the future.

(photo by Vickie Triplett) One of the most highly regard¬ ed programs on campus is that of nursing pre-med. Sister Eu¬ gene Andrews heads the school of nursing and is a very serious able leader. The students are able to gain on the job training in Cen¬ tral Kansas Medical Center. C.K.M.C. is one of the most well equipped hospitals in the state. The college is very proud of the reputation the medical program has gained over the past several years. Left - Elva Hamby adjusts a lamp as part of her duties at C.K.M.C.

Purchases Camp Aldrich One of the most important events of 1977-78 will most cer¬ tainly be the purchase of Camp C. R. Aldrich. Located near Cheyenne Bottoms just north of highway 156, the former Girl Scout camp was purchased through a grant from the Land Water Conservation Fund Pro¬ gram. The picturesque setting finds the rustic cedar buildings nestled in the rolling sand hills and unbroken grass lands. The many beautiful structures include a dining hall, lodges, cottage, bath house, swimming pool, rang¬ er’s home, etc. President Jimmie Downing worked many hours, as did the Board of Trustees, to se¬ cure this facility for the college. 31 Who’s Who At B.C.C.C. The 1977-78 edition of SPOKE marks the first attempt ever for a Who’s Who on the campus of B.C.C.C. The students shown and listed on these pages were nominated by teachers and were selected on the merit of both classroom and activ¬ ity participation. The students on these pages have excelled in one or more as¬ pects of this college. It is our most sin¬ cere hope to start a tradition that future SPOKE staffs will follow. We hope it will be a challenge for future students to strive for this honor, and we congratulate those who have accomplished it.

Under head coach Gordon Berry the ladies compiled a 13-6 season record. Among their accomplishments were two games in which they scored over 90 points (a season high of 99), five games of over 80 points, one of the state’s best de¬ fensive teams, and they gained the semi-finals of the league tour¬ nament at the season’s conclu¬ sion. The all freshman squad was led in scoring by Sharon Steimel with a 19.5 per game average and Bernice Stout with a 13.5 aver¬ age.

Under second year Coach Leon Cox, the Cougar nine finished the Fall baseball season with all-9 record and the Spring season ended at 24-12. This makes B.C.C.C. 73 and 47 in the two year reign of Coach Cox. Many records fell to the 77-78 squad as they tied for the most wins ever, along with tying for the best league finish ever, and they now hold the best winning percentage in the school’s baseball history. Individual records were too nu¬ merous to mention, but many su¬ perb performances were turned in at rejuvenated Veteran’s Park. 47 Cougars Spring Record BCCC 1 Oscar Rose, Ok. 2 BCCC 2 Ft.

Having only 16 members on the squad didn’t stop them from breaking six school re¬ cords and they also recorded six more records for newly estab¬ lished distances. Eight of the Cougar men qualified for the na¬ tional meet at Champagne, Illi¬ nois. Those who made it were Terry Bradshaw, Jeff Weaver, Craig Cushenbery, Mark Akers, Kevin Smith, Brent Lupton, Joel Light and Adrian Brautigam. 51 Track Team Sets Many School Records Adrian Brautigam broke the B.C.C.C. school record in the high hurdles and qualified for nationals (photo by Mike Conover) Brent Lupton, holder of the B.C.C.C. 400 meter hurdle record, Jeff Weaver, who set (or helped set) five new school records, relax before a meet (photo by Brad Gunn) 52 Jeff Weaver wins again and qualifies for the national tournament (photo by Mike Conover) All-American Craig Cushenbery has the determined look that helped him reach the nationals (photo by Brad Gunn) All-American Joel Light became the first Cougar in history to clear the celebrated 7’0” height (photo by Brad Gunn) Women’s Track Coach Ray Seib, Janelle Rogers, Robin Tittle, Cindy Habiger, Susan Stueve, Susan Skolaut, Kathy Kennedy, Brenda Klug (photo by Brad Gunn) Five Girls Qualify For The National Juco Meet The Barton County women’s track squad had what should be termed as a very satisfying and successful season. Seven women made up the squad with five of them qualifying for the National Junior College Athletic Associ¬ ation track meet at Champagne, Illinois. Individually, Janelle Rog¬ ers brought home the only gold from the Region Six meet at Man¬ hattan with a discus toss of 117’0”. Also going to nationals on a basis of their times during regular sea¬ son are Kathy Kennedy, Susan Skolaut, Sue Stueve, and Brenda Klug in the 400 meter relay. Kathy Kennedy in the open 400 meter dash. Susan Skolaut in the long jump and 200 meter dash. Also, participating this year was Cindy Habiger and Robin Tittle. 53 Susan Skolaut was outstanding in several events during the entire season for Coach Ray Seib’s Cougars (photo by Mike Conover) m Janelle Rogers puts every muscle into the discus throw during an early meet (photo by Mike Con¬ over) Left-Cindy Habiger, a two sport athlete, gets away another good toss of the shot (photo by Mike Con¬ over) Right-Susan Stueve stretches to cover as much ground as pos¬ sible during her jump (photo by Mike Con¬ over) Community Cooperation that the entire Barton County area backs the Cougars.

Morton will mg lie alone on the Super- dome carpet, of course. He will get a lest uf help from his friends, especially the defenders who so often turn die lull I civet to hun and set op his scoring strikes. Coach Red Miller’s defense is built around an incomparable set of four line¬ backers Torn Jackson, who gets my silic¬ as the NKL’s defensive player of the year, punctuales his nonstop jabbering at opjMinenls With ferocious tackles and timely interceptions, his teammates Randy Gradishar Joe Rizzo and Bob Swenson keep a slightly lower profile, except when they are trying to remote the heads 4 runners and would-be pass receivers In front of the linebackers. Jacksui- and Billy Thompson anchor a secondary that is very good al picking up thcjMi-c-es of brlmum-rcd opponents. The Broncos would also lie delighted to osii-pt the kind of aid fhev gut from zebras like Ed Marion, the hear! lines¬ man who missed an obvious fumble lost week and virtually handed Denver an important touchdown In fact, all Ion many N’KI. winners this season have I teen unfairly assisted liv lloundenng ofhcials. The sad troth is that two teams, Houston and Miami, were th-pnvi-d of playi.frpositions when officials missed a sideline call in one game and blew a fumble cal) in another. The rehra prole leui ha reached crisis proportions, ami NK1- authorities appear ill-equipped to ileal with the crisis It is very hard to osenome a problem while publicly pre¬ tending that it does mg exist The NKL has long contended that em¬ ployment of full-time prnfevsion.il offi¬ cials instead of weekend isart-tuners would lie pmhibitivflv extensive, and ose of television replays would la- incoti- c Incise and slow down the game. But this y ear, egregious errors seem to cry for one or liotli of those solutions. Unfortunatels . the NFI. seems inclined to stonewall on •his issue. One officiating crew, headed by referee Fred Silva, was responsible lor both of the biggest regular-season lagihes. Bui when the list ot officials was released for lost week’s Dallas-Minneso- ta championship game, one alternate was none other than Fred Silva. So much for the league ' s system of grading officials— or responding to criticism. Despite their gift touchdown from the zebras, however, the Broncos earned their place in the Super Bowl Even without that fluke score, they might well have beaten Oakland, the Raidt-ts made if close only hy scoring in the final min¬ utes. And rather than detracting from the Denver triumph, that final Oakland score brought .mt one iff die most signifi¬ cant assets of the Bronco team. OUIET DENOUEMENT When Ken Stabler hit the marvelous Dave Casper with the pass that made the score20to 17, three minutes remained in the game—and the stage seemed set for one of the miracle finishes thal Stabler has made routine in recent y ears. Every Oakland fan sensed the jsovMhditv the Raiders could stop Denver, get the lull back near midfield and let Stabler direct them to a tying field goal or a winning ESSES] COAL Deal Stick?

Blues,” an Elvis guitar, a scarf he wore during a San Antonio concert and an array of lip¬ sticks from a 1950s Presley line: Heart¬ break Hotel pink. Hound Dog orange and Tutti Frutti red. My favorite item.” says Mrs. Brown, “is a block of wood that EK ' is busted in karate practice himself. He autographed it for me.” The king is dead, hut only in the flesh. While the hurst of public interest that followed Presley’s death last August may be waning, thousands of diehard fans like Jean Brown consider the singer ENTERTAINMENT in. Professional Elvis imitators now number in the hundreds, ranging from Alan Meyer, 28, who grossed nearly $1 million last year, mostly in Las Vegas, to Chicago ' s Rick Saucedo, 22, whose lip curl may be the best in the business. Exclusive Rights: Shortly after Presley’s death, his manager, Col. Tom Parker, made an agreement with Factors Etc., Inc., giving it exclusive rights to produce and market all Elvis memorabilia. “I didn ' t even like Elvis’s music,” says Factors president Harry Ccissler, hut I was a fan of Colonel Parker. He’s the king of promoters. I’m the king of merchandisers. It was only natural we got togeth¬ er.” RCA Corp.. which sold more than 500 million Pres- Model of ley records before his death, will not release sales figures since then but last week reported record corpora¬ tion profits for the fourth quarter, spurred by “extraordinary posthumous demand for Presley’s records. For Elvis zealots, no item is too trivial. Ceissler has already brought his Elvis line to shows in Memphis and Chicago and now plans to tour nationwide. Fans Parks statue are offered the chance to peruse items ranging from 15-cent buhhle-gum packs to solid-gold $850 medallions—or to opt for such middle-range exotica as Elvis Christmas-tree ornaments, Elvis dollar bills ($3.50 apiece). Elvis wristwatches, gold-plated Elvis belt buckles and gold- plated replicas of the singer’s army dog tag. Ceissler says he turns down ideas he thinks are duds or in had taste.” He gave the no-no. for example, to a com¬ pany that wanted to market an Elvis air freshener. “You’re going to see the Elvis market move away from the junk stuff entirely.” he says, adding that negotia¬ tions are under way for a line of Elvis clothes and cosmetics. “Maybe we ' ll have ' Hound Dog’ after-shave lotion or ‘Love Me Tender’ perfume.” Civic do-gooders are also getting in on the act. The Memphis Development Foundation has commis¬ sioned sculptor Eric Parks to design a 25-foot statue death has spawned a do-it-your¬ self boomlet. Martha Hickin- botham. 31, came to the Mem¬ phis show from tiny Thayer, Mo., to sell the quilt she wove using Presley family likenesses as sections. Ceissler thought so much of the idea that he plans to market her design in an Elvis quilt kit. “Goodness,” says Mrs. Hickinbothain, “he says we may even branch into sheets, pillow cases and window curtains.” In Memphis, over the Jan. 7-8 weekend that would have been Pres¬ ley’s 43rd birthday, small- timers were out in force. Billy Smith. 34. a first —— r cousin of Presley ' s who recently moved out of bis trailer behind Elvis’s • - mansion, Graceland, took bids on such items as a pair of Elvis’s shoes, a white braided belt and a pair of his sunglasses. Meanwhile, Kenny Dwain. owner of Elvis Presley Boulevard Souve¬ nirs. stood in front of his display of Presley’s old bed, guitar and horsehlan- ket, and stoutly defended the traffic in memories. “All these people here want something,” he explained. “What are they going to do if they can’t get it? Elvis is a saint, and these are his relics.” ‘idolizing Him ' : Andy Kem would agree The 25-year-old president of Elvis Un¬ limited, a 10,000-member fan club based in Houston, Kem began collecting Elvis memorabilia in his teens. Beginning in 1969, when his mother took him to Las Vegas to watch Presley perform, Kem saw him at every opportunity. “At first it was idolizing him,” says Kem. “Then it was thinking maybe I could be like that—his life-style and his money, his personal charisma.” Now, Kern has at least a piece of the mystique. His hobby has turned into a business, and he traffics full-time in Elvis jewelry, records, post¬ ers and carrying cases. Dizzying as the whole business has become, it has inspired heights—or depths—of ingenuity. Three small-time speculators who put up $5,000 for an acre of land that once belonged to Presley near Horn Lake, Miss., now dream of grossing in excess of $60 mil¬ lion—which is what you get by selling off 6,272,640 square inches at $10 an inch. —TONY SCHWARTZ with 97 Closing In closing, we have tried to create a yearbook that both students staff alike will enjoy.
