Cert1f1ed communlty Coach students li Holton Alderman MA Mississippi State University Cooperative Education, Director 1 Robert Anderson Could Mr Joe Gilliland and Mr Dick Myers be demonstrating that teachers aren't always serious? BS Sf- Cl0Ud State College Professional Pilot Coach Atkinson remembers-fact or fiction? Did you ever go to a baseball game where you were un- certain which way the score would go? It could be Mr. Atkinson still doesn't understand, but here is his situation. One of our team members was a switch hitter who usually batted left-handed since the pitchers were usually right-handed. Late in the season we were tied 1-1 going into the last of the ninth. As our switch hitter came up to bat the opposition replaced the right-handed pitcher with a left- handed pitcher. At the same time our switch hitter moved to the other side of the batter's box. The pitcher delivered, the batter connected, and a long drive was sent out through center field. Our switch hitter, apparently dis- oriented, ran to third, headed for second, first, and finally home, arriving the same time the ball did. The umpire signaled 'safe' and our switch hitter untied the score. We lost, 0-I. 123

Accepting title as dean encompasses a responsibility con- cerned with everyday campus life. Rather than to dictate the students' lives. a dean makes decisions in lieu of his train- ing and experience and based on belief and trust in the stu- dents. He must question each issue as the students might. Howard Monnett, Dean of Liberal Arts Concerning a correlation between a lack of student enroll- ment and quantity and quality of subjects Dean Monnett as- sures us, A lack of student enrollment definitely affects the quantity of academic subjects offered.. A scarcity of students limits the number and variety of subjects offered simply be- cause of a lack of people to take the courses. The quality of instruction in an academic subject is 'to be found in the teach- ing ability of the instructor and not in the number of stu- dents. One possiblity offered as an explanation for Cochise's slow enrollment increase is the ACT entrance requirement. In re- gard to this Dean Corkery feels the exam has achieved its pur- pose in the past but now with individual counselors available it is not worth the expense, time and trouble it demands of the high school senior. He agrees there is no connection between the ACT and the quality ofthe student body. There is no doubt Dean McClanahan has been approached repeatedly about social opportunities for vocational students. Dean McClanahan answers, Cochise's occupational pro- grams include definite attempts to provide a broad range of educational and social experiences. Only two of the 14 current programs fNursing and Aviationj are highly structured with technical course work due to limited time and licensure re- quirements. Roughly 40fZn of each program's curriculum is in liberal arts. The occupational student can participate ac- tively in campus life if he so desires. Two of the last three student presidents have been occupational students. college community I,-P Al lot to give 1 W! ffiryxzmczw .

Mr. Mel Engelstad, wanted for commercials Maybe there's some value in TV commercials after all. Mr. Mel Engelstad, business teacher, reminisces, From my office between classes one day, I could hear mixed voices and laughter in the adjoining classroomg but I didn't pay any particular attention. Upon walking out and joining the assemblage of stu- dents, there was a noticeable lessening of conversation and laughter, to the point of unbelievable silence ema- nating from sagging, open mouths. Then came the explanation! Students, turned sleuths for thejob at hand, were trying to pinpoint the one among them whose presence was so profusely filling the atmos- phere with fragrant oriental perfume. A chorus of voices accused, 'Mr. Engelstad, YOU'RE the onel' Imagine my surprise, just a few drops out of the latest bottle of menis cologne that morning, and now the much- publicized 'Hai Karate' Cologne of TV fame was being re-enacted in real life. college community W 4 . 57. 7 at ' fa C 'L 1' Larry Christiansen Marcheta Corriveau MS Utah State University BS-BA University of Denver History Medical Records, Business
