These students had the chance to listen to and question authorities on topics that ranged from individual rights to political issues that affected the country. The program started in September of 1981. Moorhous wanted to present some¬ thing more interesting than lectures. Moorhous said, “I give credit to Business Mid-management instructor Don Yohon for suggesting the use of speakers in the classroom as he had done in his classes in the past. I thought, Why not?’” Moohous said not only did the speakers add interest, they also created an atmos¬ phere in which students could think about and debate controvertial issues. “Every- time they talk about abortion, the class discussion usually gets volatile. The pro¬ posed Equal Rights Admendment usually stirs discussion among my classes. Not once has all the students agreed with any one speaker on any one issue or fact.” Vicky Wood said, “I like them. It made me think a lot about different issues.” Mark George said, “It got his point across a lot easier than if he would just explain it. Other than that, it makes the class inter¬ esting.” Moorhous selected the speakers by finding those people in the state who were qualified to discuss either the pro or con of current issues. Fall speakers included Jack Barbour, a delegate to the Democra¬ tic National Convention; Melvin Erb, a federal tax protester; Bob Tucker, an op- poser of anti-religious cults. Speakers from Right to Life, Planned Parenthood, and the Equal Rights Amendment were also on the agenda. Jack Barbour explains his view on politics as Tom Moorhous looks on.

They lived at home, stayed in the living centers, or lived in apartments. The central location gave many the chance to live at home. Students who lived in Great Bend and the surrounding communities such as St. John, Hoisington, Ellinwood, and Claflin, could save money by living at home. Many of these students have estab¬ lished themselves in the community. They could continue working at the jobs they had during high school. Students living at home did not worry about extra expenses such as laundry, weekend meals, and gas money to go home. About 230 full time students stayed in the living center on campus. Those who came from farther away found the security and companionship available a definite benefit. They were more independent of their parents and yet did not have to worry about utility and food bills. Meals were available at the Student Union and the liv¬ ing centers provided a recreation area. Other students combined the advan¬ tages and disadvantages of living at home or the living centers by staying in apartments. These students enjoyed more privacy and fewer rules. They could choose what food they ate. They could vary their meal times. They could choose their roommates. However, they had to worry about utility bills and higher food bills. The living accomodations that were chosen by the students were as varied as the reasons why they attended college. Gordon Lashall loads his car to prepare for a trip home.

Or possibly it was the strange young architect, Christopher Wren. Let us not forget cranky old Mrs. Boyle or Major Metcalf on leave from the army. Suspicion also falls upon the pretty young foreigner, Miss Casewell and the stranded Italian, Mr. Paravicini. And De¬ tective Trotter has been assigned the task of finding the real murderer of Mrs. Lyon of Boston. It turns out that Mrs. Lyon was actually Mrs. Stanning who, along with her hus¬ band, was charged with criminal neglect in the death of one of three young children who the couple was taking care of. The murderer left a note explaining the murder of Mrs. Lyon was only the first, and below this message was a bar of the tune “Three Blind Mice.” The search for the other two victims was what “The Mouse Trap” by Agatha Christie centers around. Barton County Community College presented the play Nov. 8,9, and 10 at 8 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium. Freshmen cast members included Julie Rich, Eric Rogers, and David Brewer. Sophomores were Connie Sander, Amy Searls, and Trey Warnoff; and Barton Hoar, maintenance. Cast member out¬ side of campus was K.B. Bell. The suspense drama was one which definitely kept the audience on the edge of its seat. The plot moved along quickly with a new twist always popping up along the way. The audience was continually left wondering who the murderer was, and it was not until the last moment that every¬ thing fell into place and the question of “Whodunnit?” was answered. Though the set was limited to one room, it ws quite detailed. The addition of intricate lighting and sound along with characteristic costuming brought the en¬ tire production together into a smooth run¬ ning performance. The cast members, technical crew, and director Ed Kelly were all very exited about the production and they were pre¬ pared to do their best and give a memora¬ ble performance.

They are at¬ tracted to the college for various reasons. Athletic programs, scholarship programs and the good scholastic reputation of BCCC beckoned students from other states and other countries. Andre Harris from Grand Rapids, Michigan said he had heard about the ex¬ cellent basketball program at BCCC. When he was approached by recrutiers, he was eagar to see the college. He said the social life in a rural Kansas community was different for him. He was accustomed to the fast paced city life, large buildings and great numbers of people. He said farming is an occupation here, whereas in Grand Rapids it is more of a hobby. “The values here are about the same. Everyone wants to achieve,” Harris said. Hung Nguyen from Vietnam came to this area to be with his family. He said, “Everyone is real nice. I feel they are very warm and friendly.” Because he wanted to be close to his parents Ahmad Ahmadullah from Af- gahnistan moved to Great Bend. He said he liked BCCC because it was a small col¬ lege where he could learn more and it was not too expensive. Students who come from all areas of the United States and from other coun¬ tries make attending college an experi¬ ence to be remembered.

(Photo by Candy Reneau) Job po e prob¬ lem Many college students throughout the nation find it necessary to hold part-time jobs to afford their education. However, sometimes that job poses new and unex¬ pected problems. Students find them¬ selves sacrificing their time, grades or so¬ cial life to pull in that extra money. Then they must evaluate all the aspects and set their priorities. Some students have been working while they were in high school. Others faced the job market for the first time when they made their decision to attend college. Many parents encourage this, feeling that working produces maturity and independence. Many students that work outside the classroom still have time to get involved in campus groups and activities and still keep their grades at a satisfactory level. Others must constantly struggle with this situation. Not all students face this problem. Work-study jobs, various scholarships and performance awards are tailored to fit the students’ schedules. Some employ¬ ers also understand that college should come first. But there is always the dilema of which is more important, money, grades, activities or personal time for self. Ideally grades are more important how¬ ever, there would often be no grades or activities to worry about, without money. To compound the problem some stu¬ dents feel the necessity to work at more than one job to make ends meet. It is hard to be a student and and employee, how¬ ever many found no other solution. These students push themselves onward and dedicate themselves to both areas of their college life. Working in the student-job program, Leslie Carlton runs errands in the Administration Building.

(Photo by Darren Demel) Part ta hion till current The year’s styles simply imitated the fashions of the past six decades. The early eighties reflected the “Roar¬ ing’ 20s.” Dropped waistlines, long beads and textured hose with sleeveless dresses were a few examples. Because of the depression the “Dirty ’30s brought about more conservatively styled clothing. Veiled hats, gloves, and tailored dresses worn then were marks for the ' 80s women executives and high fash¬ ion models. The fashionable women of the “Fight¬ ing ’40s” wearing skirts above the knees to show off the pump shoes compared to the well dressed woman of the ‘80s. Sequims and rhinestones on party clothes were accepted as well in the ‘80s as they premired in the forties. Of the many different fashions of the “Nifty ‘50s“ many remained throughout the early and middle ‘80s, according the Sandy Essmiller, fashion merchandising instructor. If a person were to describe a young lady who wore skirts and sweaters, or saddle shoes and bobby socks for ca¬ sual wear; and wore straight skirts for semi-formal occasions; or wore a ruffly strapless formal with a hoop for a prom, he may have described the young lady of the‘50’sor‘80’s. One difference between the ‘50’s and ‘80’s girl was the ‘60’s influence. The re¬ bellious students changed girl’s dress codes. Pant suits, more approp- riate than dresses, became acceptable. Later, denim was used to make pant suits which evolved into the ever-popular jeans and jean jackets. Therefore from the ‘60s through the ‘80’s jeans were an accepted girl’s dress code. Jackie Kennedy, the era’s trendsetter, became famous for box suits and pill box hats as have become popular twenty years later. The ‘70’s, which brought about the working woman look, emphasized the mix and match separates. According to Essmiller, mini skirts and the layered look, imitated those of the seventies.

(Photo by Jim Hadley) Beauty Rcademy provide ervice The Academy of Beauty has been serving the community of Great Bend since 1965 ana a part of Barton County Community College since 1978. During the 1984-85 school year, Instructor Ruby Brown and the stu¬ dents decided it was time to update the academy a bit by changing the name to the Department of Cos¬ metology. The Department of Cosmetology offers sev¬ eral services to the com¬ munity as well as to the BCCC students. Among these sevices are hair¬ cuts, facials, manicures, pedicures, and many other beauty services. There are only 29 cos¬ metology schools in the state of Kansas. This col¬ lege ' s Department of Cos¬ metology is one of only nine that are associated with a college or vo-tech in Kansas. Since the department has been associated with BCCC, Brown said,“(The department has) con¬ tinued to grow and is well recommended throughout the state.” Cosmetology student cuts Mary Hooper ' s hair as she trains to be a beautician.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.” The year 1984 did not turn out exactly how George Orwell foresaw in 1946, when he wrote the book “Nineteen- eighty-four.” The year was a year for Americans to feel good. There were many firsts in the “good old US of A.” Jesse Jackson became the first black man to run for President, as Gerldine Fer¬ raro took her place as the first woman to run on a major party ticket. Baby Fae made history as the world watched her three-week struggle for life with a baboon heart. Likewise, Bill Schroeder became the first successful re¬ cipient of an artif icial heart. The Russians boycotted the Olympics in Los Angeles giving the US the chance to win a record 63 gold medals and gross a $150 million profit during the games. A jet powered back-pack gave Bruce McCandless the chance to dance with the stars as he took the first free flight in space. Big Brother and the Thought Police cer¬ tainly had it wrong, ’84’s motto should have been: understanding is peace, indi¬ viduality is freedom, intelligence is strength. A newly formed group on campus is the Dan¬ celine. Some of the members include Sunni Ellis, Julie Kratzler, Teresa Eiland, Karla Leiker, Cheryl Schneider, Margo Reents, and Michelle Ragsdale. New carpet in the Union was one of the many changes in the Union during the Fall Semester. 18 News Change come to campu As the academic year of 1984-85 ended and students were saying goodbye to the college and friends, there were also several staff members that were saying their last goodbyes. Jean Haffner, admissions counselor and women’s volleyball coach resigned her position of three years with a record of 119 wins and 19 losses. Coach Jerry Mul¬ len resigned as men’s head basketball coach, as Charlie Sprott resigned as men’s assistant basketball coach. Head track and cross country coach, John Webb also resigned his position after leading both the men’s and women’s teams to claim conference titles. Linda Webb, sociology instructor, and Dave Robins, director of admissions also resigned their positions. Dan Wall of Coffeyville was hired as Head Basketball Coach to replace Mullen and Dan McGovern signed on to be As¬ sistant Basketball Coach to replace Sprott. Mike Warren was the new Baseball Coach and Sports Information Director. The Student Union got a well deserved face lift during the first semester. All new carpet was installed and a new “scramble system” was introduced into the food ser¬ vice program. Added features included a sliced meat deli, two salad bars, hard ice cream and a drink “gazebo. The Board of Directors approved the proposed addition to the Fine Arts Build¬ ing. They also approved the construction of a maintenance building.

News 19 “Oliver” bring tuui t to compu If Charles Dickens were alive today, he would be extremely pleased with the 1985 Barton County Community College Spring Musical, “Oliver.” “Oliver” was the musical version of Die- ken’s classic novel, Oliver Twist. It was set in the streets of London during the In¬ dustrial Revolution. The young orphan, Oliver Twist, moved from place to place looking for a place where he felt wanted and loved and while doing so, he became involved in many misadventures. The cast was made up of more than 50 people from Great Bend as well as sur¬ rounding communities. The lead role of Oliver belonged to Tim Schwab. He did a superb job in his singing as well as his act¬ ing. He was onstage during most of the production but never failed to keep his poise and composure. His performance as the poor orphan was very believeable. Schwab brought the character to life and watching him left you wanting to see more. Bob Allford, as always, played his char¬ acter with great finesse. He portrayed the domineering Mr. Bumble so well, one al¬ most forgot the situation was not real. Gerald Facklam created the delightful Fagin. His light-hearted an tics made Fagin a lovable crook. The conniving Artful Dodger was played by Robin Opie. His profes¬ sionalism and depth made the Dodger’s whimiscal personality stand out. The evil Bill Sikes was created by Ron Harders. His performance created much of the suspense and excitement through¬ out the musical. Pam Ryan played the abused woman, Nancy. Her performance put a lump in the throat and brought out the sorrow of the scene. Production coordinator and music di¬ rector was Kenneth Shaheen, stage di¬ rector and design was Edward Kelly, or¬ chestra conductor was J.B. Webster, and choreographer was Karyl Morrison. These people had put much time and ef¬ fort to put “Oliver” together. The job they had done as a group and individually was to be commended and respected. “Oliver” was enhanced by the many lighting, stage, and sound effects. The personnel in these departments worked long hours and gave the stage the look of London. These effects added to the stage set up which was designed to exemplify freedom on the top and bondage on the bottom. Director Ed Kelly gives stage directions to actr Pam Ryan atoneofthe many rehearsals. As the first production number ends, the workhouse boys sing, “Food, Glorious Food.” 20 Oliver Oliver, played by Tim Schwab, asks for more food from Mr. Bumble, played by Bob Alford, after the work house boys are feed. Oliver, played by Tim Schwab, is being invited to meet the friends of the Artfu I Dodger, played by Robin Opie.

Oliver 21 Coronation ceremony high light Homecoming The Barton County Community Col¬ lege Student Senate planned several activities during homecoming week. Among these were nooner Steve Gip¬ son, a comedian cartoonist and a freet- hrow contest. Ending the week was a dance on Friday night (Feb. 22), featur¬ ing KHOK’s Scott Donovan, and the crowning of the king and queen during the Feb. 23 game against Butler County Communtiy College. The candidates were chosen by a panel of faculty members and the stu¬ dent senate during a interview session eariler in the week. Queen Vicki Dinkel and King John Heier were crowned prior to the men’s victory over the Butler Grizzlies.

Homecoming 23 Drama department pre ent ‘Diary offlnneFranh The spring play presented by the Bar¬ ton County Community College Drama Department was one which touched any¬ one who saw it. “The Diary of Anne Frank” is the story of one young Jewish girl’s struggle to sur- vivie as her family, along with another family, goes into hiding to escape the per¬ secution of the Jews by Hitler. The play was chronicled through daily entries which Anne made in her diary. Every scene portrayed the entrapment and anguish that these families must have felt but the sense of love and to¬ getherness that was between them was evident. Julie Rich played the role of Anne. She did a superb job in her performance of the young girl going through adolescence while in hiding. Rich said she had to learn how to act a lot yonger. She also said, “I had a very closed in feeling and a sense of what these people must have gone through. Anne quite believably came to life through Rich. David Brewer succeeded in his por¬ trayal of Peter Van Daan. He had no trouble in expressing what this moody and confused young man went through while in hiding. Brewer said, “This part al¬ lows me to expand because of the sudden mood changes from sad to happy.” Bre¬ wer did a fine job in this role. Connie Sander portayed every detail of Mrs. Van Daan with refinement. The char¬ acter is one of many changes, but Sander distinctly showed her every emotion. San¬ der said she enjoyed this as her final role at BCCC because that character is so ver¬ satile. She said, “Mrs. Van Daan has a lot of different feelings. She is fluttery but strong. I really feel the entrapment she felt.” This was one of the more contrasting roles and Sander gave a great perfor¬ mance. Mr. and Mrs. Frank could not have been more accurately portrayed that they were by Robert Feldt and P.K. Duncan. These roles were enhanced by the accents used by these actors consistently throughout the play. The pain and joy that they went through while hiding was exemplified per¬ fectly by them. The set, constructed by play production and stagecraft, was set up to show the grayness, doom and dreariness of how the people lived. It was designed to in¬ spire a closed in feeling and it succeeded. Anne (Julie Rich), Margot (Toni Dort), Mrs. Frank (P. K. Duncan), Mr. Frank (Robert Feldt), Mrs. Van Daan (Connie Sander), Mr. Van Daan (Randy Schmidt) and Mr. Dussel (Eric Rogers) drink a toast to welcome Dussel into their hiding place. Mr. Frank (Feldt) and Mrs. Van Daan (Sander) manage to find some humor in their depressing situa¬ tion.

Young as he was, 7 months, he could speak five languages, dance, sing and laugh at his own jokes. His name is Topo, and he is a robot owned by Scott McCoy, computer instructor. Topo was designed and built by An- drobot Inc. of San Jose, California and was the world’s first personalized robot. He resembles a three foot man in a white tuxedo. Although Topo does quite well enter¬ taining, he was originally designed for much more. Limited only to the extent to his programer, Topo is able to do house¬ hold tasks such as vacuuming, and answering the door. Topo may be programmed through either the Commodore 64 or any of the Apple II line. The programs are typed into acomputer and then relayed to an infrared sending device. He may recieve the in¬ frared beams from as far away as 50 feet. Topo can “do anything provided you spend the time and energy to program him.” McCoy said. Lisa Herrman, business office secretary, plays her saxaphone in an orchestra practice. Orche tra cele¬ brate Bach ' birthday Under the direction of J. B. Webster, the orchestra performed in a concert on May 6. The first half of the concert cele¬ brated the 300th birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach. Dr. D. L. Jones donated the use of his harpsichord, which he built, to give the selections authenticity. The orchestra also accompanied the theater department musical, “Oliver,” in the fall. J. B.

Debbie Warren became the new sponsor and yell leaders were added to the squad. Veil leaders are not commonly found on the teams of community colleges. BCCC was lucky enough to have four such men, Anthony Catalano, David Santa Cruz, Joe Trujillo an d Mark Owen. These men were a definite asset to the cheerleading squad. They en¬ abled them to perform lifts, pyramids and stunts. The squad performed during the basketball games.

They have made plans to travel to the out-of -town basketball games and to dance at the men’s national tournament next year. Warren said,“I feel very proud of the girls and their accomplishments. They worked very hard and were willing to come in to work on routines outside of scheduled class time.” Marcia Musgrove performs a routine for the danceline during half-time of a basketball game.

Dance Line 31 Cor ba h fail to rai e fund The Data Processing Club made several at¬ tempts to raise money during the year. One pro¬ ject was a car bash. Although well advertised on campus the turnout was poor and only $7 was raised. One project that was successful for the club was the sale of survival kits. Letters were sent to the parents of students who lived on campus, inform¬ ing them of the contents. The kits contained snack foods, pop, fruit and soups donated by local mer¬ chants. The kits were distributed during finals week. This was the second year for the sale of the kits as a money making project for the club. 32 Computer Club Political Science Instructor, Tom Moorhous takes the first swing at his car which he donated to the Datra Processing Club for their car bash.

DECR win ot national com¬ petition According to Don Yohon, sponsor of Distributive Education Clubs of America, the club assisted in the development of future business leaders in marketing and management. DECA sent 13 members to the national convention in San Fran¬ cisco, where the group won a first-place trophy, two second-place trophies and 19 medallions for individual performances. Marcie Ferris won the first-place trophy as best in the nation in the food marketing competition.

Some of the students on the staff were not journalism majors. But this gave the staff a good representation from the total campus on which to base the news cover¬ age. Jeff Shelar, psychology major, has writ¬ ten some articles for the Interrobang. “It helps my English skills and gives me dif¬ ferent perspective on dealing with the public as I would be after becoming a psy¬ chologist.” Dana Dockter, editor, designed a new flag for the newspaper. The old flag used a type that looked like computer print out and the class felt it was hard to read.

The students worked hard to meet all of the deadlines.“We have a well-organized, close-knit staff. Since this is my first year at Barton County Community College, I was pleased to find experienced people on staff who were willing to work hard to meet our deadlines,” Lanara Luthi adviser said. The class tried new ways to make the yearbook more appealing to students. In¬ stead of going through the book with a theme, the staff voted on using a graphic theme, which used the cover and page design to unite the book. The yearbook also displays a unique headline typeface throughout, a more expensive cover, and copy in the book includes more features than usual.

LAE members spent several days in the town riding with the department. According to LAE member Scott King, “the city has just finished building a million dollar complex. It was really neat. Lakewood has one of the finest police departments in the United States.” Karate Institute instructor Wayman Johnson visited the class frequently. Self de¬ fense, without the use of guns, was consid¬ ered to be a priority. Hand cuffing tech¬ niques, night stick handling and karate were just a few of the subjects studied. Officers for Lambda Alpha Epsilon were Sponsor Gary Pedigo, President James Mil¬ ler, Vice President Brad Patzner, Secretary- Treasurer Becci Davis and Stuco Represen¬ tative Cheryl Schneider.

This festival involved community college choirs from Colby, Hutchinson, Garden City, Seward County, McCook, Neb. along with BCCC. Each college sang choral arrangements for the other par¬ ticipating schools. They were then critiqued by a choral clinician, Dr. Cecil Riney from Friends University in Wichita. All the schools then joined together as a massed choir and re¬ hearsed four selections together, conducted by Dr. Riney. Shaheen said he thought the festival was a good opportunity for his choir to ses what type of material other colleges were using and how they were performing it. Choir tudent Senate provide octivitie The Student Senate provided many activities for the college. They sponsored magicians, comedians and bands for nooners. Steve Gipson, a cartoonist from Atlanta, Ga. entertained the stu¬ dents and faculty with drawings and comic patter. Kevin and Cindy Spencer, professional magicians from Lyn- chbyrd, Va. amazed and delighted a large audience during their show. Before performing the Spencers spoke to BCCC occupa¬ tional therapy students and showed them actual tricks that could be used with disabled patients. Using sarcastic humor, card tricks and juggling, Pat Hazell enter¬ tained the lunch-time audience during anooner in the fall. Early in the fall, the Student Senate sponsored “The Rave,” a British-styled band who performed many songs originally recorded by the Beatles. The Student Senate scheduled activities for Fall Fest, with an apple bobbing contest and a dance for the Spring Fling. They coor¬ dinated Homecoming activities in conjunction with Winter Fest. This included men’s and women’s leg contests, a gelatin eating contest and free-throw contest. Several dances were scheduled by the Student Senate which in¬ cluded: an all school dance at the beginning of the fall semester, a Haloween dance at Chapter II and a Chr istmas dance in De¬ cember.

The students were divided into two groups, the food committee and the activity group. he group had about the food was taken to the AFS by the committee and solutions for problems were discussed. The activity group was involved in organizing activities for students living in the dorms. Two midnight skates were held during the spring semester. Housing Coordinator, Jerry Ney, said,“It was the most highly attended student housing sponsored event of the year.” Another outstanding event was the spirit contest held during basketball season. Groups of not more than ten people competed for prizes. First prize winners received a prime rib dinner and a movie for each member of the group. Second prize win¬ ners received all the pizza they could eat from local pizza restaurants. The individual prize winner was awarded a $20 gift cer¬ tificate from a local clothing store. The judges based their decisions on best costumes, most enthusiasm throughout the game, best banner or poster and originality. The organization also bought a new foosball table for the commons building and a new pool table for the Student Union.

Residential Housing Assistants 53 in 54 Division Page bports Top athletic program developed Administration plus Commitment plus Community equaled Success for the Bar¬ ton County Community College athletic program. Also, getting quality athletes rather than quantity made a difference. According to Jerry Mullen, athletic di¬ rector, the administration took pride in choosing one of the best coaching staffs in the nation among community colleges. Within the staff of ten coaches, BCCC produced an unbelieveable winning tradi¬ tion each year. Raymond Bechard, assistant women’s basketball coach and tennis coach be¬ lieved there was terrific harmony within the coaching staff itself. He said the ad¬ ministration made a total commitment in choosing the coaching staff in all areas, “That’s what made the BCCC athletic pro¬ gram widely known,” Bechard said. Although to the naked eye, the compo¬ sition of all community colleges was the same, relationships between coaches and players make BCCC unique. “It’s not the facilities because everyone has classrooms and gyms but it was the energetic coaching staffs that had the most to do with. Most of the assistant coaches were young and not far out of college so therefore I felt they could relate to the needs and wants of these athletes,” said Charlie Sprott, assistant men’s bas¬ ketball coach. Commiting themselves to provide the best programs was of special concern. Mullen attributed the program’s success to the unique situation there among the coaches. “I know I have the best coaching staff in the nation in the community col¬ lege ranks. I wouldn’t trade them for any¬ thing,” Mullen said. An active community also helped BCCC achieve success. The community was very supportive of the Cougar’s events, as were the faculty and adminis¬ tration. A great student body helped tre¬ mendously in every sport. Since many of the on-campus students were athletes, all were very supportive and had concern for each other and in this way, there was har¬ mony withing the student body. Division Pag« Sports 55 Intramural pro¬ vide recreation Intramural sports was a big thing at Bar¬ ton County Community College. There were so many activities to get involved in such as basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, flag football, bowling, chess, back gammon, and pool. A sports trivia quiz was also offered. These types of activities unified the students as well as the faculty. Mary Massey ran the program with the help of five students refereeing, keeping score and being aids to the teams or people participating. The number of par¬ ticipants grew as the year progressed. It also gave the students, administration, and faculty a chance to enjoy themselves and to experience different things. But most of all it was exciting! Kim Jarvis lays it up for two against Cynthia Or¬ nelas. Intramurals Brad Schmidt participated in the intramural pool tourney.

Students participated in many different sports such as baseball, tennis, softball and volleyball. There were various tournaments held during both semesters. A pool tourna¬ ment was the highlight for many students. It featured a field of 20 individual players and ten doubles teams. A table tennis tournament was also an activity available to the students. Mary Massey, coordinator of intramur¬ als, and her staff of four students helped with all of these activities. They strived to schedule sports that interested students who lived on or off campus. Sharon Geist tries for a double play against oppo¬ nent Nancy Kuhn. Mike Owens, playing for the Barco Bombers, warms up his pitching arm for the championship game against the Short Stopps.

Trainer accompany athlete Trainers had a very important role in athletics. Ken Henderson and his students worked closely with the athletes and coaching staff. Not only did they work the games but the practices as well. They taped ankles and administered ice and heat to injuries. Sometimes this included taking the athletes to and from the doctor. Most of the athletes attending BCCC were not from Barton County so it was up to the training staff to see that the appointments were made and kept. The trainer helped these student athletes make prog¬ ress and also helped them to maintain a sense of security by giving them both physical and emo¬ tional support. 60 Trainers Brad McMillen applies ultrasound to Cougar basketball player Romey Anderson.

Sports information director Mike Warren and his assistant Robert Campbell. Variou dutie Keep port information taffbu y. Sports Information Director is not just another fancy title. Mike Warren, in his first year as Barton County Community College’s Sports Information Director has many responsibilities placed upon him and his staff. Among the tasks Warren must perform are the planning and coordinating all sporting publica¬ tions of BCCC. These include brochures, pro¬ grams, calendars, and a composite schedule of all sporting events. Statistics are also another re¬ sponsibility of Warren and his staff. Statistics must be kept of all events, and then filed for further re¬ ference. The Sports Information Director is also in charge of writing weekly news releases concern¬ ing the signing of athletes, upcoming sports events, and results of the events. These releases are sent to BCCC faculty, the parents of athletes, BCCC booster club members, regional directors, and the media (local and athletes’ home towns). Games and events at BCCC place even more responsibility on Warren. During these games, Warren is in charge of crowd and traffic control, coordinating security, and administering to the needs of game officials, visiting coaches and teams, and press box management. Yet another item on Warren’s list of things to do, filing information questionnaires on all BCCC athletes, which may be used by the media or by college recruits. Warren said the hardest part of being the sports information director is “making sure BCCC is in the public eye, not just local and state, but also na¬ tionally because our athletes come from all over the country.” Warren said,“one thing that makes it easier is that we have teams that are nationally ranked and it is more enjoyable covering a winner as opposed to covering a loser.” Helping Warren perform his duties is freshman Robert Campbell of Hoisington. Campbell covers an assigned sporting event and writes releases for that event.

To go along with their sixth place finish, Shannon Ridgeway, a Topeka freshman, was named to the All- American team by the Collegiate Volleyball Coaches Association. Coach Jean Haffner, in her third year at BCCC, was named District Four Volleyball Coach of the Year. “I’m really proud of all my players. They fought to the very end, Haffner said. She also noted that no other teams played as many freshman as the Cougars. It was the first time the BCCC netters had gone to the national tournament in the school’s history. Score!

Doug Blevins started the fall schedule off slowly before be¬ coming the team leader in the spring. He led the Cougars at every meet in the second half of the season with the exception of the Hutchinson meet. The Johnson County meet was one of the best meets for BCCC as a team. The Cougars recorded a score under 500 for the second time during the season with a 492 total. Steve Neeland was also instrumental to the success of the BCCC linksters. He was consistently the Cougar’s number two golfer. He scored totals of 124 on 27 hole golf courses regularly.

Cougar women • win Region IV oft- ball title The Barton County Community College women’s softball team had a successful season despite a difficult schedule. Be¬ sides the regularly scheduled community college games, several four-year shcools were played including Kansas University, Kansas State University, Emporia State University and Nebraska University. This tough schedule prepared the Cougar women for postseason play at the Region VI tournament which was played at BCCC in May. BCCC was not the top seed of this tour¬ nament but the team won five straight games to claim the title for the second straight year. This tournament win allowed the Cougar women to qualify for the sectional tournament at Miami, Okla. later in May.

These changes were appli cable to the incoming freshmen for the fall 1984 semester. Three programs which take two years or 64 hours to complete include: As¬ sociate of Applied Science, Associate of Arts, and Associate of General Studies. A certificate program is an option that is also open to the students. The Associate of Applied Science de¬ gree requires the completion of 64 credit hours. These hours do not necessarily have to include general education class¬ es. By the third semester a specific pro¬ gram of courses must be approved by the department, signed by the student’s ad¬ viser and filed in the adviser’s office. To earn an Associate of Arts degree the students must complete 64 credit hours. Of these 64 credits 31 must be from the general education areas which include: humanities, social sciences, oral com¬ munications, written communications, lab science, mathematics and physical edu¬ cation (an activity course). To receive the Associate of General Studies degree the student must com¬ plete 64 credit hours. These hours can be any of the student’s choosing. A Certificate of Completion will be awarded to students who sucessfully complete a program at less than the As¬ sociate Degree level. This Certificate Pro¬ gram allows the student to enter the job market after the program is completed. Approved programs are ones that are developed by student with the approval of the student’s adviser. These programs are designed to meet the requirements for graduation.

To most people it does not mean much, but from one hacker to another it means, ’’let’s go play Hackey Sack.’ The game may be played with as many people as desired. The players, known as hackers, stand in a circle and pass the small, lightweight ball, known as a hackey sack, to one another. The rules which govern the activity are few. Hackey Sack is more of a pastime activity than a competitive sport. It pro¬ vides a good way to interact within a group. In recent years, the game has become quite popular at BCCC. This may be because of the ability for mass bodies of students to participate. It also provides the means for excursions, an¬ xiety and stress to be release phys¬ ically without actually having to partici¬ pate in competitive contact sports. Lumpkins, Tonya Lynch, Elizabeth Lyon, Jana Maneth, David Mauler, Sandra Maurath, Michelle McDaniel, Ruth McGlinn.Kim McJunken, Scott Nathan Feldt, Matt Finn and Andy Gabbart take a break between classes to play hackey sack, a popular game on campus.

Could you please send me some cookies and other snacks so I ' ll have someth...” But at BCCC there was no need to write this letter. The Data Processing Club of Barton County Community College got the message across for students. Accord¬ ing to club president, Darrell Eiland, they sent letters and forms to all the parents of housing residents. The par¬ ents were able to purchase survival kits for their son or daughter attending BCCC. The kits were filled with a vari¬ ety of snacks and “goodies” just like mom would send. Eiland said the kit was not just junk food but also contained nutritional foods like instant soup or cocoa. The survival kits were a money mak¬ ing project for the club. Eiland said they got the idea when they heard of a club at Kansas State University using it. They received donations from Coke, Pepsi, Dillons, and other companies to supply the kits. Eiland said it saved them a lot of money since they did not have to buy everything.

The smaller of the two categories were those things not related to the school. They included jobs, family life, hobbies, and involvement in religious and civic groups. However, these activitues were influenced by time demanded by the school and knowledge and philosophy taught by the school. The larger catagory was one of ac¬ tivities directly related to the school. They included classes, social life, sports, study time, and college club activities. This yearbook is devoted to, for the most part, things directly related to the school. A segment, however, is devoted to subjects not directly related to the school, yet influenced by, the school. While the yearbook staff did most of the work on this publication, they wish to ex¬ press their gratitiude to those non-staff members who contributed to the book. Special thanks go to the Interrobang staff writers who contributed some of the copy in the book, to the Communications Office who answered many questions concern¬ ing the school and to Brad Gillispie who contributed photographs and time to the book. The library serves as the hub of the campus. All spokes, or paths lead to the library, a place to go for study, research, or just relax by reading current periodicals.
