TffB8WHtBWIIHiT ,T - °° M ™ a ' Freshmen enrollment holds steady Gasoline shortages and rising prices did not affect the total number of students at BCCC this year although there were reports of declining enrollments at many schools. This year ' s enrollment stretched to 1,938 from 1,894 a year ago. The number of students who commute long distances showed a decrease, and the largest contributor of stu- dents to BCCC was Butler county. Many students formed car pools or moved into El Dorado to save on the near $1 a gallon gas. Real freshmen wandered onto campus this year bringing with them good old fashioned high school spirit. Freshmen worked together with sophomores to raise the level of enthusiasm for the school. One such enthusiastic fresman was Mike Musick, who became one of the Grizzly mascots and charmed football crowds along with sophomore Tony Peak, an- other bear mascot. Angela Chitwood was the only fresh- man on the drill team. Candy Lay and Shannon Randall were freshmen cheerleaders. Freshman Bruce Shreiner was named assistant sports editor and freshman Cindy Schuler was entertainment editor on The Lantern. Early arrivals on the campus this year were all the freshmen who had to enroll in a mandatory course, Orientation 007. Students were required to visit with counselors at BCCC to learn about college and to get help in planning their careers. Peer counseling began this year with freshman Larry Owens becoming BCCC ' s first peer counselor. He worked on a one-to-one basis with the students. The campus welcomed a John Travolta lookalike — David Doyle, a wide-receiver for the Grizzly team. Da- vid roomed with a freshman football player, Mark Pen- nybacker, who many thought looked like Kent-the-Bar- bie Doll. Pennybacker was also named football homecomiing king. Freshman Karen Adams was named queen for the football homecoming. An all-school dance the first week of school honored the freshmen and helped them get acquainted. Other social events followed during the year.
