GK - 'P' -5-., ifwfx Health Services: FRONT: Doris Wayne BACK: Dolores Treveal, Shirley Vargason HORSES AND STUDENTS involved in the co1lege's equitation program often developed real affection for each other. Sophomore Ann Kubinsky is a physical education major and loves horseback riding, which is one of the best physical activities available. The equitation classes were taught by Coach Carol Brewer and Coach Roberta Dobbertin. DISCUSSING with Chuck Stevesky the pos- sibility of a new field house are Registrar Martin Wisniewski and Coach James Cran- field. Although the proposal was passed by the Board of Trustees, Governor Carey's '78 budget shot down all hope. own fitness levels. In addition, Coach's jokes became an expected part of the curriculum. For example, did you hear the one about the boy who every morning went out to the barn and lifted his calf? Well, every day the calf got bigger and bigger and finally the boy was lifting several hundred pounds. And that's no bull! But no matter what kind of shape a person was in, virtually no one made it through the year without some kind of sickness. Whether it was January snif- fles, incoming wisdom teeth, or a touch of Russian flu, the college pro- vided a health service to get us back in top condition. Located on the first floor of the main building, trained nurses, including Dolores Treveal and Jean Gauthier, were available to treat minor illnesses or injuries. Students with headaches or colds could pick up free aspirin, cold medicine, or kleenex. A college physi- cian came twice during the week, and special appointments could be made for other times if a student wasn't abailable during the doctor's hours. In addition to these services, a family planning representative came to the school one a week, providing free ad- vice and information on birth control. For those who were interested in a health career, the college offered an extensive program in nursing. Classes were held at the school, with numerous clinical laboratories given at the hospi- tal. Considered by many students to be one of the college's most challeng- ing curriculums, the extensive training gave students a busy schedule. In conclusion, the Physical Educa- tion and Health Departments worked together to give students a better understanding of physical fitness. Whether taking classes as a major, be- coming involved just for the fun of it, or seeking outside help and advice, stu- dents were given unlimited opportuni- ties to improve their health.

here was a mad craze for physical fitness, and worries popped up over everything from headaches to obesity. This grow- ing general interest in fitness was re- flected in the college curriculums as new courses were offered and old ones expanded. Through the combined tal- ents of the Physical Education and Health Departments, gym classes, health classes, and nursing classes showed the way to a healthier, hap- pier body . The physical education courses were designed to provide each student with a well-rounded program. All entering freshmen took part in activities of soc- cer, bowling, golf, tennis, volleyball, badminton, basketball, archery, soft- ball, hockey, equitation, paddleball, squash, gymnastics, swimming, wres- tling, jogging, or judo. In one of the popular classes, ten- nis, the students first learned how to handle a racket by shaking hands with it. From there he or she progressed to the basic swings and follow-throughsg learning how to hit, serve, and smash the ball across the net. Those involved in coaching the players were Professor Carol Brewer, Professor Roberta Dob- bertin, Instructor Linda Rooker, and Chairman Charles Steveskey. Another sport, bowling, was lots of fun but also caused much pain at timesg from a ball in the gutter to a sprained finger, because it got stuck in the little holes. Using the local Cayuga Lanes Bowling Alley, the students practiced the proper steps of approach and re- lease and learned how to score for themselves. Before an athlete could perform a breath-taking feat such as a full, twist- ing back somersault, he or she had to develop body control and ease of movement. After mastering the basics, the student then went on to develop a routine such as those used in competi- tion. For men, the routines were based on muscular strength and endurance. The women's routines emphasized both grace and ease of movement. Finally, a new course offered was Fitness, Theory, and Application. Taught by Professor James Cranfield, the class had students measuring their HealthfPhysical Education S39 Healthy and ,Having It IN THE TENSE SUSPENSE of the Morris- ville game, basketball coach Rex Parcells cautions his offense. A '74 graduate of Cayuga County Community College, Mr. Parcells took over this year for Terry O'Con- nor, who accepted an appointment at Har- vard. Mr. O'Cormor left a five-year legacy of winning teams, and Coach Parcells is deter- mined to keep up the tradition. One of the top ten basketball scorers in the history of the college, Rex Parcells' name still appears above the courts on the gym wall.

The Theater. Telecom. and Au- dio-Visual Departments all played an integral part of life at CCCC. Not only did the Theater and Telecom Depart- ments offer interesting courses. but they were also concerned with ntany extra curricula activities as well. The Drama Department offered SCAPIN by Moliere as its fall show. produced in the intimate theater fash- ion. lt was well received here on cam- pus and the cast was invited to go to the New York State Theater Festival in Oswego. There it won tive awards. including an acting award. three hon- orable mentions. and a special citation. As part of the International Studies Program offered in early January. drama students went to London. Eng- land. for two weeks with Alan Sch- neider, the head of drama at Julliard. While in London, the students saw twelve to fifteen plays and met with actors, producers. directors and play- wrights. The tentative spring produc- tion of THE PHILANTHROPIST was written by Hampton Young. who met with the class in London. Drama courses were offered on a rotating basis. Dan Labeille stressed that these courses were not just for drama majors. They were useful to liberal arts students in that the students became more aware and more critical as audience members. The productions also were open to everyone. In addition. the Telecom Depart- ment was intricately linked with the campus radio and television stations. At the stations the students did the programming. providing a mixture of entertainment. sports. news. and pub- WHILE CORRECTING a typing CITOI.
