lt's in the air... Tiger Mania craze stalks campus l got it. I got it. . .What? It's in the ground. It's all around. . .What? Tiger spirit. Spirit was only part of what was going around at Cowley County Community College. From the first day of the fall semester to the last day of spring semester, there was a feeling permeating the campus which came to be known as Tiger Mania. Characterized by orange and black, Tiger mania was everywhere. Classrooms were filled with orange and black chairs, orange carpet covered the floor of the President's office, the common's area and the Student Center lounge. Students bought all the orange clothing Ark City had to offer. Students shared the big orange craze with faculty members as T-shirts and suits reflected Tiger Mania. W.S. Scott, dean of students, walked the halls in his black suit and orange and black tie. President Nelson and his family were never seen at a Tiger game without tiger-striped rugby sweaters. Students, like sophomore Karen Met- tling, carried their books in Tiger book sacks and band members adopted uniforms of CCCC T- shirts and orange wind breakers. Tiger Mania hats became an important part of the year and the people who wore them were important, too. Dan Walker, Ark City resident, added to Tiger Mania with his orange and black elephant gun which fired to record every Tiger touchdown. Two tiger mascots epitomized the craze. The six-foot mascot was a popular attraction for youngsters at athletic events and parades. Children cheered as the mascots twirled their tails and gyrated their hips to the rhythm of Tiger cheers. Perhaps the youngest of all the Tiger Mania fans was Cindy Lou Nelson, the year-old grand- daughter of President and Mrs. Nelson. This small bundle of Tiger fuzz was seen sitting on the lap of one of the older Nelsons at most athletic events. People, clothes ad colors saturated the cam- pus with Tiger Mania. It was in the air and every where. It was Tiger Mania. A ll f igf.2f ffZN QWLEF Dt ' 1' i FHIINTY
