,-'R' R- una.- r -1 iw . Q . X. Another winter sport that had noth- g to do with snow or ice was bowling. .ny students enjoyed this relatively :xpensive activity, and parking lots re often full at area lanes. Again, m classes were offered for beginners d semi-pros alike. After the winter months, because of E clear, scenic Finger Lakes dotting , region, many students became avid immers and water skiers. Out of the lakes Owasco was the closest to the lege, and Owasco Park provided a ritic spot for picnics as well as water xrts. Pedel-pushers were another com- in sight along the streets of Auburn. :ycles came in all colors, sizes, and 'ietiesg but those most often seen re the ten-speed type. The quick- fting gears made riding a lot easier, though coming up Genessee Street hill was difficult at any speed, The sport attracted many area cyclists, and their enthusiasm varied from a spin around the block to a 20-mile hike. Summer means green grass, flowers, and little kids with skateboards, right? Well, yes, but these surf-boards on wheels are no longer limited to the young, just the young at heart. The toy was first introduced in the 1950's but soon fell from popularity because of safety factors. The '70's, however, brought a more flexible wheel that turned in all directions. Thus, skate- boarding became a major industry as kids of all ages began to try it. Still relatively dangerous, the boards are supposed to be used with helmets and padding. As for the hills, Auburn pro- vided them all. ON TOP OF Mount Washington, Anne Phillips stops to rub some oil on her aching fcct. This climb was part ofthe New Hampshire trip taken by the group, the Explorer Post. ON HIS WAY TO another strike, Tim Brennan tallys up a score of 153. He said that this was definately one of his better days since he usually averages about 110. Another summer attraction, tennis, was offered as a school sport, but again there were many enthusiasts not on the team. A few years ago it became one of the most popular activities in the country, consequently, open courts were often hard to find. So that's what the fans did when they weren't cheering for the Spartans. There were many more informal sports with special interests in such things as mountain climbing, hang gliding, horse- back riding, and scuba diving. The di- versity was almost as great as the num- ber of students. However, whether they were indoor, outdoor, winter, spring, summer, or fall activities, they all brought excitement to accent the year. Fans

THE FIRST OF MANY CHANGES. Sue Kuncio, Coordinator of student services takes a sneak preview of the learning center. Space was allotted downstairs in the college library, and the total cost for equipping the center was approximately S15,000. It was a year of movement, change, and transition. The new administration stirred us out of habits and defied a few traditions. Walls were going up and coming down as we moved to new rooms and accepted new titles. For awhile no one knew who was doing what or where anything was. But de- spite the many changes, or perhaps be- cause of them, we were able to keep giving the high quality education and service that the students and com- munity have come to expect. New courses were added in the fields of math, psychology, and computer science, with a dramatic increase in the number of non-credit mini-courses of- fered at night. Many of us faculty be- came a part of Cayuga County Com- munity College's lecture series, travel- ing to various organizations and schools to lecture in our fields. We watched sadly as some familiar faces left but gladly accepted the new teachers as an integral part of our system. Faculty Divider 73
