Oil Vital To College Butler County Community Col- lege, founded in 1928, was born in the shadow of the oil industry and has lived in its shadow. When the school moved to its present location in 1964, the col- lege faced Skelly refinery which has since become Getty Refinery. Another refinery, formerly Fina and now owned by Pester, also is in El Dorado. These industries have provided financial support to the school by providing employment to many parents of the students, provid- ing employment for the students themselves, and by making avail- able tax monies for the college. In 1916, drilling for oil started in El Dorado and Towanda. From then on wells were drilled all around Butler County. Butler was named among the first five oil producing counties in Kansas in 1965, fifty years after the first well was drilled. Refineries and networks of pipeline were built during 1916- 1918. This year, once again many new wells are being drilled in Butler County, with the oil short- age forcing the price of crude up- wards, to $40 per barrel. i i!h

People: Work, Play College life at BCCC offers many options: all work, no play; all play, no work (not recommended); some work, some play (recommended); and variations of the aforementioned. Most full time on-campus students manage to accomplish both work and play and enjoy both. Varsity sports and intramural sports get many people involved in playing, but others make watching these sports part of their playing. Other involvement in sports playing includes being a member of the pep band, leading yells, and performing on the drill team. Sooner or later all students when they finish their class work end up at the Student Union which is the center for play on the campus. Here they eat, shop, visit, and watch TV.
