There were more of us then ever before. People make the Cowley dif- ference. Cowley entered the high- technology era as com- puters aided academics. The women led the con- ference pack while the men had to do some struggling. Being part ofa club meant additional knowledge, career opportunities, and friendships. For an easy reference of who and what are where, check the index. A little extra time was just what was needed for the students of '84 Longest Year Rm W qPiEMQQRzA.1. LIERARY if fy Ig jf.

What's leap year? wmwvuu Oh, you know. That's when 5' 1' there's an extra day in February. It happens every four years. Yeah, now I remember. There are 29 days instead of 28. Why do they do that anyway'? lt has to do with the sun's rotation around the earth. It takes 36574 days to complete one revolution. Oh, I get it. they have to add that day so that the seasons will occur at the same time. Right! So what it really amounts to is this year is longer than the rest. Now do understand?

Arkalalah is one of the busiest times of the year for Arkan- sas City residents. iPhoto by Don Shrubshellj Th Longest Year provided extra time to meet goals It sure seemed like it was a busy year. There were so many things to do and it seemed like there was so little time to do them in. Yeah, and we started a week later than a lot of schools so we had some catching up to do. Especially in sports. When we started classes after Labor Day, the teams lost a whole week of practice. The volleyball team even had to play a scrimmage two days after school started. That was a real bummer and they ended up losing three out of those five games. The clubs were pretty busy getting new members initiated, too. That's right, because they had all those different conventions and IT'S OFFICIAL- Steve Arellano installs Jeff Hovey as district president during the Lear- dershlp Conference and presents him with a pin.

Everybody had to hurry. And all that homework we had. thought I would never keep up at times! I know what you mean. But iust think, the instructors had to grade all that homework. That's true. They were kept pretty busy, too. What was enrollment this year anyway? They said it was right around 2,000 give or take a few. The full time student count was the highest ever for Cowley. No wonder there was such a busy atmosphere at school this year With all there was to do and all those students, it's a good thing it was the longest year. introductionfct Th Longest Year Yeah, but if you looked around, Cowley wasn't the only place buzzing with activity. What do you mean by that? Well, take Ark City for example. During Arkalalah this town is really moving. People come from different areas and the stores have big sales. Everywhere you turn there's activity. Now I get it. Just like at Christmas time when everyone is bustin' to get their shopping done. Right. And on a larger scale we had the olympics this year. And also the Presidential campaigning and elections got started. I guess this was a pretty full year for everyone. Yeah, but it was the longest year so they had some extra time to get things done. 4!introduction CAMPUS CONVERSATION - Students like Sun- ny Day and Rodney Johnson found the library a good place for qulet relaxation to study. fPhoto by Don Shrubshelll GOOD STUFF - Hot dogs and beans were the main course for the watermelon feed that kicked off the year.

It Qin-f X is 'llkuw It's a Long Wa From Hom 1' summed up the feelings of foreign students as they joined campus life Being away from home for the first time can be difficult for anyone, but when the separation involves going to a different country, the break is even harder. Rima Carvalho, Cosmetology student from Kuwait, has been here since January of 1983. I miss my family and friends a lot but I do have a brother going to Oklahoma University, she said. Being near her brother was one reason Carvalho chose to attend Cowley. I wanted to be near my brother and this was the closest cosmetology school, she said. I also wanted the shortest course in Cosmetology and Cowley had it. Although Carvalho finished her cosmetology course, she stayed at Cowley to take business courses and 6!foreign students plans to find a iob upon completion. I want a degree in business and if I get a good iob, I will stay here for a while, she said. I do want to go home though, so it would be nicer if I could get a iob there. Mohammed Salih Doughramaii from Iraq, has been in the U.S. since August of 1981 and attended Ark City High School his senior year. I was to be drafted into the army for the war going on in Iraq so I came here to live with my grandmother, he said. Like Carvalho, Doughramaii also misses family and friends, but there was something else he missed too. I really miss the food, but it is too difficult to describe unless you can see what I'm talking about, he said. Doughramaii is a business ad- ministration maior with no immediate plans of returning home. I'm thinking of going to Wichita State University, he said. Maybe I'll return home in 10 or 15 years. Another foreign student from Sweden was Johan Skattner. He came to the U.S. in August and differed in that he had no relatives here. I came here to learn the language and study business and play tennis, he said. It has been my intention to go one year here and return to Sweden. There is one aspect of Sweden Skattner especially looks forward to returning to. I miss the sea. There's something special about going on a boat from one island to another, he said.

The festivities began with a change of pace as the traditional dance was moved to Thursday night. We added an extra day to Homecoming by changing the dance to Thursday evening, said W.S. Scott, director of guidance services and Student Government Association CSGAJ sponsor. We decided moving the dance was a good idea especially since most students go home for the weekend. The annual bonfire and pep rally, held on Friday evening, had 100 people in attendance to show their support for the football team and ioin in the hotdog-marshmellow roast. Everyone got fired up and really got into the spirit of things, said cheerleader Donna Grover. Everyone seemed to enioy them- selves. Saturday began with the college dorm door decorating contest and was followed by a luncheon spon- sored bythe college. Only four doors were decorated for the contest, two of which tied for first place, Scott said. JaNel Ed- wards-Piper Jackson and Ronna Adelhardt-Juana Wilson each won STO. Kick-off of the football game again- st Hutchinson was changed to af- Jacksonl Shrubshelll ternoon. Although Cowley lost to the Blue Dragons I4-6, the crowning of Kim Rayl during half time lifted spirits. Homecoming activities concluded with the talent show sponsored by the College Endowment Association. Three hundred people attended the show, making it the most successful Homecoming event. We had 12 fine acts perform with Ron Cole taking first place for the second consecutive year, said Gerry Huston, master of ceremonies. Judging by the crowd's enthusiasm, l'd say it was a total success.

N Long Shot Bets were placed as students enjoyed casino life Homecoming in Las Vegas , held in the Nelson Student Center, marked a change in the usual homecoming activities this year. A S1 donation, or as many 10 cent tickets as a person wanted, was the key to an evening of fun and relaxation as the College Dorm held casino night. Sam Floyd, head of the activities committee for the dorm, contributes the idea to a special com- mittee. This is the first year for the casino night. We chose a committee from the dorm to come up with some ideas on how to raise money and promote in- terest for the dorm and they came up with the Las Vegas angle, he said. No money was involved as far as the games went, everything was pur- chased or bets were placed using tickets bought with the dollar donation. There were seven different games that could be played. One could use the tickets to play ping pong, cards, or pool. If that didn't hold a person's interest, bets were placed on taped horse races that ran every 15 minutes or a lottery was held every 45 minutes. Entertainment was provided throughout the evening with recorded music and a video performance of Michael Jackson, imitated by fresh- man Melvin Potter. Food service Q 3.

George Caine, dorm supervisor, felt a new track needed to be em- ployed to promote interest and thinks the casino night accomplished this. Old traditions are fading. In the past, dances were held or there were horse shoe pitching contests but if we don't have something for them to do, students become bored and restless and spend their money recklessly, he said. I iust didn't like to see that happening. We care about the students and if we can provide good clean fun at little expense then I think it's up to us to do it. Freshman Donna Grover, helper for the evening, felt the casino night was a success. The place was really busy and everyone was walking around visiting with friends and having lots of fun, she said. Caine also viewed the evening as successful. We had a large turnout and all the prizes were given away, he said. The students who came and the students who worked had a lot of fun. The big winner with 386 tickets was Ronna Adelhardt. She received the main prize, which was a Sony Walk- man.

The event, Parents' Day, is not a new event in it- self: the way it was held was new. For the first time, it was held separately from Homecoming. According to W.S. Scott, director of guidance services, there are several reasons for this change. There was a general feeling among the two committees that the activities were detracting from each other, Scott said. Also, each of the events are quite a chore to put on singly, and putting them together was almost impossible. The day started with the registration of 120 parents. After this, parents were led on tours of the campus by student guides represen- ting the various clubs. Mike Friday, student guide, felt parents were im- pressed with certain aspects of the campus. Many of the parents were really impressed by ireland Hall in par- ticular, Friday said. They liked the up-to-date cosmetology facilities and the laboratory used by both the i2!parents day Medical Laboratory Technicians and law enforcement students. The parents were impressed by the restoration iob done to the Auditorium-Gymnasium. They liked the idea of renovating sound buildings instead of building com- pletely new facilities. The next part of Parents' Day was the chili feed held in the Nelson Student Center cafeteria. Ap- proximately 200 people were present, making it the biggest ever attended. The attendance of the Cowley- Coffeyville football game was the next item on the agenda for most of the parents. Here they had the option of being introduced to the crowd at half time and some 70 parents par- ticipated. They were then welcomed with a special cheer. The final segment of Parents' Day was the least attended. Only three couples showed up - the rest of the crowd consisted of the committee, said Peggy Paton, chair- man ofthe committee.

Stretching serpent-like from Wilson Park to Newman's the 96 entries entertained the more than 25,000 spectators for nearly three hours. Only minutes before dual aerial bombs sounded the blasts which signaled the start of the Saturday af- ternoon parade, spectators found themselves in the middle of a slow, cold drizzle that was to occur in- termittently for the entire parade. But the rain did little to dampen the spirits of the crowd or the five Cowley sophomore women who reigned as Queen Alalah finalists. Queen Deb- bie Blatchford and her court made the trip down Summit Street twice and gave those at the beginning of the parade a different look at the finalists as they ran to iump on a float. We were supposed to have a car waiting for us at Newman's but it didn't show up, said Staci Jimison, finalist. We knew we were supposed to be at the reviewing stand but without the car escort there was no way to get there. Finally, we got back to the starting point of the parade and ran a half block to iump on the Little Mr. and Miss Arkalalah float so it could take us to the reviewing stand. I was glad I had on a full dress because the girls who had on straight skirts really had a hard time run- ning. Although the parade was the climax of Arkalalah, the fall celebration started with the coronation on Friday night in the college's Auditorium-Gymnasium. The coronation was followed by en- tertainiment from the CowleyCo singers, under the direction of vocal music instructor Kenneth Judd. Several acts followed, including a gymnastic routine by Nicky Yocum, daughter of head football coach Bill Yocum. The coronation ball was highlighted by the Grand March featuring the queen and her court. Saturday morning began with the Kiwanis Pancake Feed, the marching band competition, the IO kilometers and the two-mile races and the street games. Cowley faculty, staff and students particpated in the events and police science students were on duty to aid in crowd control. We worked in the morning direc- ting the runners, said Blane Barker, police science student. I had to time them, too. Later, we had to man the barricades but we got a free meal at Brick's so we didn't mind. That night we checked the stores uptown, so it was full day for us. Cosmetology students also got in the act by running a foodstand at the parade. It was the first year we had tried this but it was pretty much a success. Next year it should be even better because then we won't have the ex- pense of the building, said Kim Mayfield, organizer of the foodstand. am-T-.sees so mfg-an o Q 4 on Q o can ae as in oe sea emanates save-muon Q g Q Q 9 ' R KALALAH ' Q O 5 9 Q 9 at it nf on n 9 in Q Q will s e ge-at Q 3 any sg aavy Q - AN EVENT T0 REMEMBER - M0m9l'llS UHOI' 'hit Ruthie Fields, Debbie Blatchford, Staci Jimison, Performers for the evening included the coronation, queen candidates Doreen Befort, qnd Kim 0'Dqnl9I enjoy the entertainment.

New state-of-the-art equipment was incorporated into Industrial Technology to expand and update the vocational programs. We are very fortunate to be up to date with industry, Charles White, machine shop instructor, said. ln the vocational-technical school, we are using the same machines that are being used in the working world. This year, a new computer aided drafting QCADD machine was pur- chased to supplement the depart- ment's computerized numerical con- trol milling machine. The CAD machine cost 517,000 and was able to figure distances, angles, the radius of a circle, and design blueprints. The CAD can draw and redraw blueprints, saving time from drawing them over again on the board, Everett Malan, drafting instructor, said. lt is affecting industry greatly because of the time it saves. High technology also struck the electronics department with the pur- chase of the Heathkit-1 Educational Robot KHERO-U. The instructional device was assembled in 80 hours by instructor Don Hughes. The abilities that HERO-1 can do Q.. ,pf , , ,wf are limited only to one's imagination, Hughes said. He was used for demonstration purposes and was used for various jobs such as patrolling the halls at night and for testing and building circuits. Changes were also brought about in the journalism department with the addition of the TRS 80 Model Ill com- puter. The computer, telephone modem and printer were used daily to produce student publications. We used the computer to set the copy and to edit it for the daily ROAR. Second semester we were able to in- terface with the Unified Typesetting System at the TRAVELER so we could generate all of our copy from the classroom, Linda Puntney, jour- nalism adviser said.i'With the micro- computer students were able to get a fairly realistic experience by com- posing their stories at the terminal and having them edited there. Aside from generating type for the publications, the computer kept an accurate record of finances and sub- scriptions and produced the monthly mailing labels for sending the CYCLE to about 750 people outside the college. in the data processing department, two new terminals were added to the lBMfSystem 34 computer. These computers were a much needed addition to they program. A Wrfamnfi-2..., Students were on the computers 80 percent of the time, Gerald An- derson, data processing instructor, said. It is important students get as much experience on computers as possible. It is estimated that by 1990 nine out of 10 office workers will be at a terminal and one out of three fac- tory workers will be also. Four new computers were in- corporated into the Learning Skills Lab to aid students in brushing up on skills or in learning new ones. The purpose of the two Apple Il E and two TRS 80 Model IV computers was to help the student in English, writing and math. The computers provided an alternative source for the students to work on whatever they needed, Elaine Brown, Learning Skills Lab developer said. Chris Vollweider, learning lab assistant, said the computers provided much needed progress in the lab. The computers brought about a phase of expansion for the lab, she said. The computers were a neat thing for the students as they gave them something new and interesting to work on.

For the second time in four years, a musical was selected and performed to an audience of 350 in three performances. Under the direction of Sharon Yar- brough and Kenneth Judd, Snoopy, based on the comic strip PEANUTS, proved a success despite several problems. We had an incorrect lighting hook up which caused the lights to burn out and that had to be fixed, Yarbrough said. Finding a Linus was also a problem. We had to try three times to get him. One had a iob conflict and the other quit school. It was after viewing the musical over the summer that Judd felt it was something Cowley could do. I liked it first of all because it was was a play that we could do in our limited facilities. Stage set up proved easy as the carpentry class was enlisted to make props. This simple aspect was con- tinued through with the costumes. l think the costumes would not have let the characters act. The actors and audience would have con- centrated more on appearance of the costume instead of the quality of the acting, Yarbrough said. So, no special make-up was used and actors appeared in brightly colored overalls. The best aspect of the play was that through all the difficlties, the cast still remained one of Yarbrough's favorites. They were real sweethearts. They were kind, nice, and they worked very hard, she said. They did what I 'GHING IT UP-One front row family enloys rwo-act comedy Snoopy.

The ordeal began Dec. 6 when the Board of Trustees called a special meeting to review the college's athletic program. The football program captured most of the at- tention as the Board discussed the 533,986.81 loss for the year. You look at this as a businessman and we've got a program that's losing us 330,000 a year and causing us some other problems and you look at it and what are you going to do with it, Trustee Dick Bonfy said. Poor quality of students and bad citizenship were cited as some of the other problems. What l'm interested in is seeing that the quality of student life is main- tained, said Steve McSpadden, Win- field board member. I wont to be sure we're attracting students who will fit into our student body. At the special meeting, College President Gwen Nelson outlined five alternatives facing the trustees: Ui maintain the current program C21 make significant improvements in the program: C35 de-emphasize winning, Q41 play only in-state students and Q51 drop a sport. Considerable discussion about playing all in-state students followed with board members questioning the feasibility of fielding a competitive in- state team in the Jayhawk Con- ference. The administration was charged with the responsibility of studying the question and bringing alternatives to the Board at the next regular meeting. If we want to be competitive, we're going to have to spend money. If we don't, we need to be honest with our community and do something else, Charles Kerr, Winfield trustee said. And something else was iust what they did. At the regular board meeting, Dec. 19, the trustees voted to drop the football program. The decision came in the middle of finals and as the semester closed, some football players packed up for good. - Not only did students leave, but head football coach, Bill Yocum, resigned to accept a position at Pratt Community College. In early February he accepted another position at New Mexico Highlands State College. Mixed reactions on campus were the result of the discontinuation of the program. As a football player, I hated to see it happen, said Tom Reed, Winfield sophomore. l think it's really going to be missed. Reed returned to Cowley for the second semester as did sophomore Rick Watkins. I think it was an especially bad deal for the freshmen because they had to leave to go somewhere that they could play football, he said. Some members of the community felt the program was thoughtlessly dismissed and began to rally to save it. With the Tiger Booster Club as the leader, petitions for reinstatement were circulated around town. The petitions were to be presented to the trustees in hopes they might consider rescinding their vote to drop the program. No petitions were presented at the Jan. 16 board meeting, however. In- stead, approximately 75 people at- tended the meeting to show the board their support or, in some cases, to express their disagreement with the decision. Angry CCCC sports enthusiast Dan Walker approached the trustees about their impulsive action and at- tacked Nelson calling the decision the Monday Night Massacre. Assistant coach George Caine and Yocum both questioned the board's action and defended the program. Can we afford to cast aside the most valuable educational program like a disposable lighter or maintain it like a classic automobile? Caine asked, pointing out the educational value of a football program. Yocum addressed the group and in- dicated surprise at the charges of bad citizenship. l'm not aware of anything that happened during the last three years that won't happen again in the future, he said. Supporting the trustees',decision were past trustees Ed Gilliland, who currently serves as president of the Endowment Association, Oscar Kim- mell, Walt David, Aubrey Foster, Lyle Eaton and Harold Walker. Walker also called for a Blue Ribbon Com- mittee to study the entire athletic program. According to Walker, the committee would be chaired by a per- son from outside the immediate area who would be salaried to conduct the study. After the audience had addressed the board, Nelson repeated his pledge to support and carry out the decisions of the board. l told them that l would do my best to implement any plan they approved and will continue to do so, the president said. And so, the longest year turned out to be the last, as the 57-year old Cowley football tradition became history.

You and I and our fellow Americans are forfeitingour future to the no-risk plight. We must once again be willing to take a riskin the development of alternativesources of energy, Frizzell said. I don't want to see America put all of her energy eggs in one basket. We have an in- finite appetite for energy and a finite amount of fossil fuels available, so the future depends on our finding alternative sources. Not only did students have the op- portunity to attend Frizzell's evening lecture, but they also had the chance to visit with him on campus. We had three scheduled sessions 22fcrabtree convocation for students to hear Frizzell speak and ask him questions during the day. I was pleased with the number of students who took advantage of the sessions, Stan Dyck, committee member, said. I think overall, Friz- zell was a very gracious speaker and he related well to the audience. He had something important and revelant to say, and that's what makes for a successful lecture series. Frizzell was brought to lecture on campus from funds made available by Jack and Mariorie Rine. The Crabtree series was established by the Rines as a tribute to the late Fred and LaRue Crabtree. The Rines are former Cowley students who appreciate their ex- periences here and want to provide a specialcultural experience for current students, faculty and staff, Lu Nelson, committee member, said. The committee selected Frizzell because members felt he could relate to the college and community. I think we were looking for someone who would be identifiable with Kansas and the people in Arkan- sas City as well as the students, Dyck said. Frizzell has been touring the coun- try and giving lectures on energy policy and law for the last seven years. I stress to my audiences that everyone can make a difference in the future of our country. I tell them the best way is to research and gain knowledge of energy, political and social issues, Frizzell said.

Historic Site Nam d ignites the interest of students, faculty, and staff A renovation of the Arkansas City downtown area began with the ad- dition of of decorative street lights and the replacement of sidewalks. The idea came out of the PRIDE committee huddle proiect, Mayor Bud shelton said. lt will be a good way to collect federal monies and to gain some tax breaks. As a result of the PRIDE Govern- mental Committee, headed by Collge President Gwen Nelson, a large por- tion of the downtown district was declared an historicaldistrict. The ad- ditional funds which were available because of that declaration enabled the city to begin revitalizing the business district. The main buildings included in the proiect were the Ran- ney-Davis building, the Elmo Hotel, the old Syndicate building, and two banks. Although work got underway, sub- stantial change was not expected un- til next year. The federal government has too many proiects this year, Shelton said. The elections and other gover- nment proiects have tied up the budget for this year. The idea of renovation originated from Guthrie, Oklahoma and other small towns that are making their downtown areas historical districts.

At about 10 p.m. the extensively remodeled Cafe D'Jour was ablaze from a fire starting on the main floor of the kitchen area. It took two hours of combined efforts by 40 firefighters from four different city departments to bring the fire under control. Even then many hours were spent on the scene watching for hot spots and pouring water onthe debris.

What once was an historical landmark of Winfield became a pile of ashes when demolition of the building began im- mediately to avoid accidents. Off- duty police officers were hired by in- surance companies because of the safety factors involved. When the front wall of the historical building had pushed in to the east firefighters feared it would affect the other walls. But the Cafe D'Jour was not the only building affected by the fire. Five other businesses-two clothing stores, a carpet store, a iewelry store, and a gift shop-all suffered heavy smoke damage. Perhaps the one bright spot in the whole episode was that no one was iniured. This was overshadowed by the fact that damages exceeded S5U0,000. Although the actual cause of the tire was not determined, samples sent off for study resulted in a suspicion of arson and a full-scale in- vestigation. iolence Mars Rezonin Issue as question becomes emotionally charged for county resi ents Although County zoning has been an issue far the last few years, emotions reached an all time high this year as county residents wrestled with the issues of zoning.

A panic swept the state with the misconception the consumers would be forced to pay for 94 percent of the power plant in one huge rate hike. The House was quick to pass a bill granting power to the Kansas Cor- poration Commission to regulate the Wolfe Creek plant. The Senate was not so quick to hand over that much authority and continued debating the issue. Should the bill pass, KCC would have the authority to exclude from rates any costs stemming from management imprudence, plant inefficiencies and so-called excess generating capacity- the ability to generate power not needed to meet customer demands. The proposal would also allow KCC to phase in rate increases and prohibit some finance carrying charges from being included in rates. Wolfe Creek supporters stressed the unwanted reliance on natural gas, saying the cost, efficiency and availability of the fuel is a liability. KG8.E, along with KCP8.L say any ex- cess power will be swallowed up within a few years because demands for power will rise while they quit relying on some of their old, natural gas-fueled power plants. For this reason, the utilities felt the bill for Wolfe Creek should be passed to the ratepayers. Ratepayers, however, did not agree with the companies. Newspapers across the state were bombarded with letters expressing pros and cons on Wolfe Creek. While some commended the attempt at alternate sources of energy, many of the public felt the plant was a bill they didn't want and couldn't afford to pay.

Such was the case of the Cabbage Patch dolls. These lovable dolls became the craze of both the young and old across the state. The creation of Xavier Roberts, the Cabbage Patch dolls first originated in Cleveland, GA, as soft sculpture dolls designed by Roberts at his studio called 'Babyland General' four years ago. They sold from S100 to S200 each depending on the amount of detail. The main attraction of the doll was the fact that when it was purchased, it was also adopted making the buyer a parent. The demand was so tremen- dous that Roberts made a deal with Coleco Industries to mass produce the dolls making the dolls more af- fordable, selling for 330. Stores that sold out their stock of the dolls were unable to get more un- til spring. Many children who had their hearts set on a Cabbage Patch doll for Christmas were undoubtly disappointed in Santa Claus as 1983 will be remembered as the year of the Cabbage Patch drought. Pre-releas reduces overcrowded p In Kansas, as in many states, a pressing problem threatened to ex- plode at the cost of both lives and property. The problem was the over- crowding of prisons. Gov. John Carlin recognized the problem and he, with the cooperation of legislature, instantly reacted with stop-gap measures. Part of this measure included the opening of pre- release centers in Winfield and Topeka at the cost of 51.6 million. At the time the legislation was passed, Kansas was only IO short of having its prison population reach it's capacity of 3,800. The centers, which will house non- dangerous inmates who are within 90 days of being released from a Kansas penal institution, are designed to re- orient inmates with the outside world so they would be less likely to return to prison. The prison-release center in Win- field is to be located in the unused facilities at the Winfield State Hospital. The facility will house 144 inmates with a 16-man work crew that arrived in late February from Hutchinson. The first inmate is to arrive on June 16.

CHECK IT OUT-Many officials inspected the vacant buildings at Winfield State Hospital to voice suggestions for its conversion to a minimum security pre-release center. iPhoto by Don Shrubshellj tom line of the Kansas Plan is higher teacher salaries. The goal is to get Kansas teachers to national average in three years - a modest proposal that doesn't seem to be getting very far in the legislature, he said. Teachers' salaries are not adequate and we have to find a solution to this before we make much progress in education. Another aspect of the Kansas Plan dealt with better preparation and cer- tification for potential teachers. This called for testing of teachers, and required a certain grade point before entering education, and once they start teaching, an internship period, Buinger said. Internship is different than student teaching. They will actually be hired and receive a salary but they will be supervised by a teacher and an administrator for the purpose of proving teachers abilities and ultimately determining whether they should remain in the teaching profession. The third problem addressed in the Kansas Plan was in-service education. This is currently one of the big con- troversies facing the profession. It in- volves improving the training studen- ts receive before they go out and teach, Buinger said. I feel colleges are doing a much better iob with this. Teachers need a strong background in their subiect areas. The importance of these points was stressed by the fact that Kansas is en- tering a period of shortage of teachers. I feel this is one concern, that students in college are not opting to enter education in sufficiant numbers to meet the demand. Marginal people will be hired in this period and become teachers of the future, Buinger said. lt creates an on-going problem. The bottom line is, if you have sufficiant salary, you'll attract capable young people. current events!27 national news national news national news national news national news national news Day After prompts student concern On November 20, ABC aired a movie that depicted the horrors of a nuclear war. The Day After may very well be the most controversial film of the year as the public became aware of a no-win nuclear situation. Kansans especially became aware of the movie with the filming location in Lawrence. I had always thought of Kansas as a small state of no great importance except for those who lived here, sophomore Lisa Kahrs said. lt was kind of scary seeing that whole movie of destruction taking place in this state. It didn't leave much room for hope as far as I'm concerned. For science instructor William Forrest, the movie was not as traumatic as it could have been. It really didn't tell me anything new, he said. ln fact, I believe if a nuclear war actually occurred it would be much more severe than the movie showed us. The question of survival was one asked frequently after the premiere. l can't believe all those people would have lived in an actual war, student Tracy Wahlemier said. The way some of those people suffered was realistic and tragic but I think it was for effect and in real life more people would have died sooner. 'KNEE' ericans as Winners take medals nn events never before dominated by US When the 1984 Winter Olympics came to a close in Sarajevo, Yugoslovia, the United States team looked back atthe results with satisfaction. Even though the U.S. did not quite meet their goal of-winning 12 medals as they did in 1980, the American team emerged winners in events usually dominated by the powerful Swiss and Austrian alpine teams. They won five medals in the alpine events, three of which were gold. This was considered a record since the U.S. had never won this many medals, or gold medals at one time. Phil and Steve Mahre, Colorado twins, finished first and second in the men's downhill race. This also was a first-time event for the U.S. Califor- nian Bill Johnson who was awarded a gold medal in the Olymic downhill as well. The women swept first and second in a skiing event for the U.S. team with the giant slalom race. Debbie Armstrong captured the gold medal by beating out teammate Christen Cooper who grabbed the silver. The remaining medals captured by the U.S. team were won on the ice. Scott Hamilton won the gold medal in men's figure skating while Rosalyn Summers won a silver in women's figure skating. The brother-sister pair of Kitty and Peter Carruthers cap- tured the silver in pairs figure skating to bring the total of medals to eight. 28fcurrent events In the Public's Eye Although Michael Jackson has spent 20 of his last 25 years as a per- former, it was not until last year that his success as a soloist was un- disputed. Switching from station to station on the radio gave proof of his success as songs Billie Jean, Beat lt, That Girl is Mine, Human Nature, P.Y.T. lPretty Young Thingl, Wanna Be Starting Somethin,' and the title track to this record-breaking album Thriller. For the first time in history, seven songs on the same album hit the number one position on pop char- ts, causing the public to iokingly com- ment the title of the album should be 'Greatests Hits' rather than 'Thriller.' Prior to the Grammies, Jackson received even more publicity during MANY MICHAELS - Melvin Potter was Cowley's own Michael Jackson, performing at Talent Shows and Casslno Night. Potter was lust one of thousands who imitated the superstar. L banon Fighting Continues as Marines are bombed and twelve hundred withdrawn from mission Pvt. Ricky Neubecker, Arkansas City citizen, survived the bombing of the U.S. Marine headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon. The bombing, which occured October 23, resulted in the deaths of 241 American marines. Neubecker, now located at North Carolina Marine base, narrowly missed the bulk of the conflict. His mother, Karen Neubecker, recalled details of the event. Ricky was located three-fourths of a mile from the airport, she said. Five days before the bombing he was in the sick bay of the now demolished compound. Neubecker sent tapes home telling of the living conditions in Beirut. He said that the bunkers were in- fested with rats, snakes, and water drainage, his mother said. Most all the food was freeze dried and coffee was considered a luxury available only on certain occasions. The bombing was especially trying for the Neubeckers. lt was Ricky's 22 birthday the day the bombing occured, Neubecker said. The waiting was the worst part. We didn't know if he was alive or not and I thank God for bringing him back. The nightmare was began in the summer of T982 when Israel invaded Lebanon with the goal of ousting the Palestinian Liberation Organization CPLOJ. The fighting moved into Beirut, occupying most of the city. Israel suc- ceeded in removing the PLO, but the invasion created a continual political instability. The United States and three other nations sent troops to Beirut in hopes of facilitating a peaceful solution to the Lebanese political crises. Marines continued their peace-keeping mission for one year until their ef- forts were repaid bythe bombing. lt was a relief to many when President Reagan announced the withdrawal of 1,200-1,300 U.S. Marines from the war-torn country. Although rumored as a political move on Reagan's part, the marines were immediately placed in ships offshore. Eighty trainers remained to help develop the Lebanese army and ap- proximately 200 Marines to guard the embassy.

Although the star was delcared fit, a portion of his hair was burned and he later required cosmetic surgery. Jackson fans began showing their enthusiasm for his music through imitation. Sequined gloves were don- ned and videos were studied in at- tempts to learn Jackson's fancv foot- work. Melvin Potter, CCCC's own Michael Jackson, participated in the homecoming talent show. Although judges didn't think him worthy of an award, the crowd expressed their love for Jackson's music and Potter's imitation as girls screamed and ap- plause filled the Auditorium- Gymnasium.

The team effort of President Gwen Nelson, Dean of Students Jack Beadles, Dean of Administration Sid Regnier, and Dean of Instruction A.F. Buffo, was witnessed every Tuesday during cabinet meetings in which many subiects were openly discussed and later presented to the Board of Trustees. While not at meetings, members were busy with other responsibilities. Beadles' activities included being director of athletics and ad- ministering college policies. Basically, I administer, coor- dinate, and direct activities of various kinds, such as counseling, acedemic advisement, and student Iife, he said. But with such an excellent staff, I should turn it around and say I'm their helper because as ad- ministrator I see that they carry out Regnier, who also serves as treasurer to the Board of Trustees, is responsible for business services, such as budgeting, disbursing, and accounting. In addition, he provides supervision of all classified per- sonnel, and supervision of the buildings, grounds, and office ser- vices. This year administration had two new proiects they began which required work from Regnier's depart- ment. The big proiect we have going is the demolition of the old high school, Regnier said. For the sum- mer, we're working on a small theatre for use by humanities depart- ment and college. But these proiects were just a part of everyday duties. The biggest challenge we had before us was the raising of revenue and financing for the college, Regnier said. It's a challenge every year to raise money wisely and keep costs low for taxpayers. Added to the administrative body was Ed Hargrove as administrative assistant. I served as clerk to Board of Trustees as well as assistant to Dr. Nelson, which included surveys, reports, and other administrative matters, Hargrove said. Completing the administrative team is Buffo, who also serves as director of vocational industrial technology and chairman of the Academic Affairs Council. Most of the work involved is keeping in contact with the com- munity, businesses, and industry, Buffo said. As dean of instruction, I worked with all instructors in the im- provement of instruction. Buffo felt one of the biggest con- cerns was staying on top of computer advancements. Time was spent reviewing and evaluating programs to see what needed to be done to keep us in the high-tech era with up-to-date com- puters and programs, Buffo said.

Q f -W t it Board Leads College in computers, facilities attention Trying to meet the public's demand for a better education system was one of the problems the Board of Trustees faced throughout the year. Our focus in the next two or three years will be trying to upgrade the quality of instruction, said college President and chief executive of the board Gwen Nelson. The public has demanded that all institutions do their part to improve a failing educational system. Along with this problem, the Board had to deal with the area of high technology, primarily computers. We need to move as fast as possible into the hi-tech area so we can meet the challenge of the era, Nelson said. Although Nelson felt the school had a lot of areas that needed com- puters to fully prepare the students for the work world, he felt Cowley had an edge over most community colleges in the state. Cowley was one of the first two or three community colleges in the state to offer a degree in computer scien- ce, Nelson said. We have had the program for T5 years, while most schools have iust recently begun their computer programs. Even though the Board considered computers essential, they were careful not to let them replace in- structors. l am seeing many of the same ideas surrounding computers in the 1980's that people held about television in the 1950's in that television could replace teachers, Nelson said. We don't want to lose sight that we are people and people need to be taught by people. Joe McFall, chairman of the Board, agrees that these are important areas, but he felt there were other pressing issues that faced the Board. The question of what to do with the old high school was very im- portant. We signed a contract with a construction company to tear down all but the east end, he said. We really don't know yet whether it will be used for classrooms or possibly student housing.

Student Services is the part of this institution that meets the needs of students, Counselor Forest Smith said. This includes counseling, scheduling, finanicial aids, in- tramural programs, housing, recruiting, Career Information Cen- ter, andthe book store. Besides these programs, something newwas incorporated. It's called Kansas Careers and is on micro computers, Smith said. A student can take a list of his own in- terests and abilities and apply them to 300 careers in Kansas which com- prises 95 percent of the work force. Along with Smith, W.S. Scott, direc- tor of guidance services, had a variety of separate iobs, but a maiority of their time was spent enrolling students. The first time anyone enrolls, it's through here, Smith said. So this is where a student gets his start - and hopefully, it's in the right direction. Also a big part of Student Services was Student Life, directed by Virgil Watson, and Admissions, directed by Linda Hargrove. Hargrove's office was in charge of recruiting, which involved visiting 25 36!student services area high schools and attending I3 career days to encourage students to attend Cowley. The most recent member to ioin Student Services was Ed Hargrove, director of financial aids. With 55 per- cent of the students receiving some type of aid, Hargrove found his first year a busy one. I enioyed my iob because it kept me busy and I was able to help students, he said. Plus, it was a nice change from my previous iob. Hargrove's previous job as recreation therapist at Winfield State Hospital may not sound the some as financial aids, but it provided a background for the iob. I felt similarities qualified me in that I had to relate to people, he said. Also, in constructing the recreational program there, I dealt in finances, planning, and records, which could be used as background for this iob. Like all parts of Student Services, the iob had it's rewards. I enjoyed helping students who needed it, Hargrove siad. We helped them meet needs to get an education they might not otherwise afford. y - - I I y I Lisa Kahrs .. M . 5.22 ,fs 4l N. li -4.

Q 'N of ff LATE AGAIN - Students often over slept and lust couldn't make It to classes. Ol course, they always had a number of execuses on hand. Not only did students make excuses for being ab- sent, but they also came up with some very ln- terestlng ones for uncompleted assignments. iPhoto by Don Shrubshelll Ed Brown-Wellington Pot Brown-Ark City Ron Buckland-Jamestown Jodie Buechner-Arlr City Lee Bunch-Ark City Joan Burghardt-Belle Plaine Roger Burghardt-Belle Ploine Jerry Burns-Wichita Dorla Coll-Ark City Kerrie Coll-Ark City Swamped . .l.,. 7 with excuses , QUE, W0 BELEEE Teacherswere swamped with a variety ot believable and un- believable excuses as students created their own reasons for being absent or for not having assignments completed. The doctors must be cleaning up in this town, English instructor Margaret Wheeler said. That may have been so, iudging from the apparently poor state of lhealth Cowley students confessed to. According to speech instructor Sharon Yarbrough, more than a few of her .students had a close brush with im- fmortality. That excuse seemed to be the fmost popular, she said. They're on ltheir death bed, then you see them ,tuptown later, playing. And the madness went on. Family M. pets weren't even spared. l One guy told me his cat had kit- tens, Doug Hunter, art instructor, said. He had to stay home and make sure they didn't die. Nor were grandparents exempt from occasional involuntary ser- vitude. Every year you get the person who had six grandmothers who died in the same semester, Yarbrough said. And if you didn't know by now, the student body was plagued with problems. Whether it was a lack of transportation or lack of money, major problems scarred many on the instructors' attendence books. Some of them think your're dumb enough to believe the excuses they give you, Yarbrough said. Like the guy who calls and says his car won't start, and he lives in the dorm. At least he's got a car. Some E TI-IIS... students didn't have that, or the money to pay for the classes. A couple ot my students had out- standing debts with the school, Wheeler said. Of course, they couldn't come to class, because of the blue cards in the office. That was drastic. Then again, some guys had the money and the time to chuck school altogether for a day and indulge in their hobbies. Wheeler garnered credit for being on the receiving end of the best excuse in this category. A couple of young men in one of my classes told me they had to go out to the firing range and shoot their guns, she said.

J, I is, K F by Ron Trevinoi J ronlance qivGhn1s1ANg:E With all the problems students face when leaving home for the first time to attend college, perhaps the most difficult and expensive is having to leave behind a girlfriend or boyfriend. Melita Bacon, Ark City sophomore, felt the distance between her and her boyfriend was harder on him than her. Because I was attending college and involved in activities and had lots of friends, I was kept pretty busy. But my boyfriend only had his iob so it was harder on him, she said. But other than that we didn't have any problems other than missing each other a lot. But on giving it some thought, Bacon found there did exist one other problem - money. Phone bills and gas bills were really expensive. Especially before basketball season started because I would go up to see him every weekend, Bacon said. Considering Bacon was a student with very little expense money, it left her boyfriend covering the costs. My boyfriend would pay for most of the gas when I went up there and since I couldn't really afford it, he called me rather than me call him, she said. But I guess that's a price you have to pay and I think it was worth it. Another Cowley student, Debbie Stewart, used the separation as a trial basis of a lasting relationship. My boyfriend was attending Oklahoma State University but I didn't go because of the money, she said. So we thought if we could be separated from each other during school we would know that we had a stronger relationship. students!55 Martha Seiwert-Conway Springs Mark Schneider-Ark City Tomi Schneidewind-Ark City Richard Schnug-Riverdale Beverly Scott-Wellington James Seale-Ark City Mike Seidel-Ark City Michael Shaxiks-Ark City Moe Shivers-Belle Plaine Don Shrubshell-Ark City Alan Shuckman-Wichita Cindy Sims-Wellington Johann Skattner-Sweden Bettie Smith-Cedar Vale Joan Smith-Maryland Robert Snlvely-New Salem Diana Sodousky-Ark City Tony Sparks-Ark Clty Dale Spencer-Winfield Stephen Sprowls-Ark Clty David Stanley-Ark City Mary St.Clalr-Newton Mike Steiner-Winfield Kurt Stolter-Little River Debbie Stewart-Winfield Corol Stone-Wichita Shlroll Stow-Wlnllold Danny Stroud-Wichita Sbfstudents W NN NG IS LOSIN 'hen dieting, nutrition are combined Diets are important. Indeed good health and a balanced diet go hand in hand. But for some, calorie intake is greater than energy output. That is why home economics in- structor Carol Hobaugh-Maudlin's home economics class was required to learn the facts about nutrition. As part of the curriculum, she had her class study various fad diets. To familiarize students with proper nutrition Hobaugh-Maudlin had them look at their own diets first. I tell them to check their diets to see if they're getting the right vitamins and minerals, she said. For a well-balanced diet, you've got to have foods from the four basic food groups. Even though many people know about good nutrition, some still neglect a proper diet. As a result they become overweight and turn to quick-loss, fad diets for help. As part of her home economics class curriculum, Hobaugh-Maudlin has her students study fad diets. I had each of them take a diet and analyze it to see if all the nutrien- tslthat were supposed to be in themj were really in there, she said. I also gave them a checklist to see who backs it and who is making all the money. The students even had to do some physics to complete the proiect. We did an exercise in energy con- servation, she said. The students wrote down what they ate, what they did, and how many calories it took to keep their level of activity.

No, why? It was one big class-over 40 students and that's good sized for Cowley. I'll say. But a lot of the classes were like that. They've had to split the math classes for the last two years now-not to mention the overflowing business and vo-tech areas. Do you suppose students were glad it was the longest year where classes were concerned? I bet the teachers took advantage of the extra time so the students probably did, too. Besides, with computers in so many programs there was more to teach and the longest year gave instructors time for that.

You have the right to remain silent. It will only hurt for a second. These were common phrases heard while passing Ireland Hall where the Department of Sevice Technology was located. The department consisted of the cosmetology program, the law enforcement program, and the medical lab technician program. The law enforcement program, which was the largest of the three, of- fered a variance of degrees for people interested in law en- forcement. The area of corrections was one where Hatfield was expecting a growth in the number of maiors. Out of approximately 35 law en- forcement maiors, we only have one or two corrections maiors, he said, but due to the opening of the pre- release program in Winfield, I expect to have a greater influx of them. The medical lab technician program was one program that no longer had to worry about enrollment. The administration cut our program from the curriculum, said director Janice Richardson. All we will do next year is finish up this year's freshmen. A small enrollment caused the MLT cancellation. We started with ten freshmen first semester, but due to various reasons only five students started the second semester, Richardson said. Ten is about our capacity due to the amount of equipment and space that is avaiIable. But despite the cancellation, the MLT department remained one of the top programs as far as iob placement goes. Last year we had a placement of I00 percent and overall probably 99 percent of the students get iobs, Richardson said. With 25 students, the cosmetology program was in no danger of can- cellation. ln fact, its worries were iust the opposite. I am very concerned about having enough room to house our program if the number of students increases, instructor Pat Mauzey said. We have a capacity of 25 students and that number is the number of students we have now. Although the number of students was at capacity, Mauzey said she was disappointed in the number of people who came to the department for ser- vices. l wanted to see a larger amount of people coming in for skin, hair, and nail services, Mauzey said. People still haven't realized we moved from our old location last year.

Instructors saw marked iumps in enrollment in mathematics and chemistry courses and additional sec- tions of math were added to relieve the load. Department chairman Mike Wat- ters attributed the enrollment iump in his chemistry courses to a change in attitude. I think that over the past few years, people are taking chemistry as a learning experience for jobs, in- stead of taking it as a requirement for graduation, Watters said. Watters taught all of the chemistry courses but admitted that Chemistry II was a favorite. I enjoy teaching it because I get to know the students. We begin to start thinking chemistry instead of going through the motions. In Chemistry II it begins to be a two-way conversation where I ask the questions because I know they'll have the answers and I enjoy that a lot more, he said. The high enrollment in the chemistry courses wasn't anticipated. We had a very large enrollment in ., wt. .wr summer chemistry classes and I think the size of the classes during the regular year was a surprise to me and to the administration, he said. Math instructors Phil Buechner and Linda Guyot also saw more students in their classes. We taught more classes in the spring than ever before, Buechner said. And there are math courses of- fered that we don't teach. Some math is being taught in the Industrial Technology and the Business Technology buildings but we're not related with those classes. Statistics, which was usually taught on an appointment basis, was also of- fered on Tuesdays and was taught by part time instructor David Steinmetz, Jr.. Buechner attributed the size of the classes to the role he believed math played in other programs. I feel math was supportive ofa lot of programs, that's why so many people have to take it, Buechner said.

In addition to the personal instruction, students had the opportunity to use the four new micro-computers that were added to the lab. f Xff, ,fs-.. X Center Knowledge Powerhouse as students take advantage of note-worthy services and materials Fifty percent more students took advantage of services offered by the Learning Resources Center KLRCJ this year, according to Director Betty Mar- tin. The usage of the library was ex- panded by the extension of hours. More people stdyed longer because they knew we weren't going to close at four and not reopen until seven, Martin said. We averaged 100 students during the day and about 50 at night, which was about double the number we've had in the past. We really haven't changed any services- we lust expanded them. Four computers in the Learning Skills Lab made a marked con- tribution to the opportunities available to students. We purchased two new TRS 80's and two Apple lI's for the lab. Com- puters are great motivaters. They make the drill work a lot more painless and with their immediate feedback students were able to cover 66fresources center more material in less time, said Elaine Brown, lab director. Not only did students in freshman English classes use the computers, but students from other curricula utilized the equipment as well. We have software for the Fresh- man English classes and develop- mental reading classes. We have sup- plements to Rapid Reading and for class assignments like Physics, Physical Science, Chemistry, and Calculus, Chris Vollweider, learning skills lab assistant, said. Some students and even instructors brought in their own software. Ann Beadles had her students use the numeric data system while the Ag program used the Visacalc program. I kept statistics on the number of students who used the computers and first semester we had 281. We had 74 students who checked out materials on business, math, and vocabulary courses. According to Vollweider, the in- troduction of computers to the lab made CowIey's lab unique. It was the next phase we needed to update the lab. We are very for- tunate to have four computers because most labs don't even have one. We are planning to keep up with the current educational trends as much as possible, Vollweider said. The Media Center, under the direc- tion of Carriaso McGilbro, also upgraded its services. We had,two more instructors who taped their lectures which helped to accommodate more students. In ad- dition to our 22,500 volumes upstairs, we added a number ofrinstructional integrated filmstrips and video cassettes because we believed non- print material was iust as important as the print material, Martin said.

N . b - Life Success 74' ,. , Teaching Everyday in Social Sciences means looking at past to prepare for the future While most courses involve the teaching of direct subiect matter, the social science department was based onthe concept of everyday living. The social science instructors tried to force students to deal with the world around them, said Stan Dyck, philsophy, and government in- structor. The subiects we taught weren't as vague as some of the other courses. Jim Meisner, psychology instructor, repeated the practical importance of the social science department. Our area teaches less technical subjects that offer information and education that can be applied to life, and yet it is a science that has a great deal of work behind it. Since this department is of maior importance, the instructors tried to use various techniques of getting the point across. I tried to research my subject area beyond what the text did, Dyck said. I tried to gear my discussion in a way that provoked questions and therefore stimulated thouaht. Several types of learning methods were used to instruct. I tried to use aids that would stimulate as many senses as possible, Miesner said. The more interest that was generated, the more the students learned. Robert Lawson, department chair- man, believed there were three ways of communicating with the students. Students learn along three main lines: eyes, ears, and mouth, he said. Some students learn better when you talk to them, some learn by seeing the subject matter and others by a combination of the two. An addition to the programs of many instructors was that of recor- ding the class for later use in the library, which became quite popular. Some of our students work 30 to 40 hours a week and find they have to miss class occasionally, Meisner said. Sometimes it's unavoidable to miss a class and these tapes are a good way for these people to keep caught up. Although Miesner feels that the teaching in his department was adequate, there was one thing he hoped to improve. l want to teach more ideas and concepts that deal with the future reather than the past, he said. When my students' lives change in I0 or 20 years, I want them to know how to deal with the maior changes that may occur. JoAnn Mclemore social science!69 il -high Paperwork large classes cause extra work load for instructors Along with the ususal English and speech classes in the Humanities department, there was a new course offered to students with the in- clination to write. This is the first time in several years that Creative Writing has been offered because we don't have the in- structors available to offer it full time, Margaret Wheeler, instructor and department chairperson said. The class is pretty fair in size with I4 students and we hope to put out a literary magazine at the end of the semester. Although the English and speech classes deal with some form of writing, according to Wheeler it dif- fers from the creative writing course. We deal with expression and free writing from a creative stand point, Wheeler said. We don't worry so much about the structural part although the final product will be structured. Sophomore Chris Zerener found the class to be one of her favorites. Creative writing was a very un- structured class in the aspect that we didn't use a text book or emphasize sentence structure. Once a week we lust sat for about IO minutes and wrote what came to mind, she said. Not only did Humanities gain a course, they gained in enrollment, and along with that the problems a REVIEW, REVIEW - English Lit.

With approximately 30 students in each class, we cannot get through as many speeches as we should, in- structor Sharon Yarbrough said. Elaine Brown, English instructor, noticed problems due to higher enrollment. When I have a lot of students, there are a lot of papers to grade, she said. You simply cannot teach a writing class without having students write. You end up with mountains of papers, and the pressure gets to you after a while. Although it was more difficult to reach the goals of their classes, the teachers steered clear of the ob- stacles and did the best they could to meet the goals they had set. My main goal is to teach people to not be so frightened of speaking in situations where they are not ab- solutely familiar with the people, Yarbrough said. Brown's main goal was concerned with the student improvement. In my classes I tried to inspire my students to write well and read critically, Brown said. My long-term goal for a semester is for students to write considerably better than when they first came into my class, she said. I JoAnn McLemore W , .. . . if ix.. f, 1, sw... ,vo My r. .

First semester enrollment in art classes was down but by second semester Art Appreciation, Painting, and Ceramics were overflowing. l usually try to keep the classes at about 20 but second semester we had 24 in Art Appreciation and in Ceramics and 22 in Painting, Doug Hunter, art instructor, said. First semester we offered Textiles and Fibers, and Art Methods and I think 'here iust aren't as many people in- terested in taking those classes. With only three art maiors enrolled, most of the students who took art classes were fulfilling basic requirements or the classes for fun. Even though most of my students are not art maiors, they take the classes for pleasure, Hunter said. According to Hunter, a real effort was made to offer students techniques and proiects to keep them interested and to give them the most current information available. I'm always introducing new ideas from the media we work with, Hun- ter said. I move with the times to keep up with whatever is current. Second semester we worked with computer art and photo realism. We blew up photographic negatives and painted them so the final product looked exactly like the photo, com- plete with reflections and tonal qualities. Art courses also offered an alter- native for students who needed a fine arts requirement but didn't think music was their thing. A lot of poeple get into art classes because of the cultural side of it, Hunter said. Those who are not musically inclined can join an art class and it gives them a chance to work with their hands and to do something creative. Those who were musically inclined found performing opportunities available through both the in- strumental and vocal programs. Both the choir and the band averaged three concerts per semester and smaller performing groups made appearances at civic functions and for Arkalalah, traditionally the largest city-wide celebration. CowleyCo Singers, a select vocal ensemble formed two years ago by vocal instructor Kenneth Judd, became one of the most sought-after performing groups. Between November and January the I2 vocalists and one accompanist qot in nearly a dozen performances in addition to the corcerts performed at the college. For Juid, that was more than enough. We could be busy performing all of the time so we have to limit what we do. Normally don't accept weekend engagements because I think it's im- portant for the group so be kept free then, Judd said. Judd also directed the choir and taught vocal music lessons, a iob he said he enioyed because of the ,lat Z students. I like the caliber of student I get to work with, he said. Music people are special. You don't have people in- volved because they are required, all of the music students want to be there. Instrumental music instructor Phil Whitney faced an enrollment deficit in his first year at the college but he was able to augment the performing groups by opening it up to the com- munity Hired during the middle of August, Whitney had no time to recruit students for the program and the lack of personnel had an impact on the program. There was no real attempt to recruit instrumental music students last year, Judd said. Whitney was working under difficult circumstances at best and its iust hard to pusi together a group when there are so few people.' Whitney was able to add to his limited enrollment by appealing to outside groups. We had eight enrolled in stage band and eight in concert band, Whitney said. Several people have participated throughout the com- munity and we've called on students from the high school several times, too. In addition to handling the concert and stage band, Whitney also taught Jazz, Folk, and Rock, private lessons. and Music Appreciation.

For Chris Zerener, editor of the monthly paper the Cycle, workshops helped supply her with ideas. I attended o workshop at K-State over the summer and I also went to the National Convention in Chicago in November, she said. I found both of them to be very helpful in giving me ideas on how to change the look of the paper. Although the changes were subtle, they did exist. We changed the nameplate slightly, and we also changed the type of stories, Zerener said. We tried to make them more issue- oriented so the students could have more input. While the Cycle emphasized feature stories, the daily paper, Roar, centered on covering day to day cam pus activities I think it was important that the students knew what activities oc cured on campus so they could get in volved, associate editor Teresa Reeves said. I also believe the paper provided a system of communication for the students. The biggest change in the iour- nalism department was the in- stallation of the TRS-80 computer used for typesetting, preparing mailing labels and producing the student telephone directory. With the computer was a phone modem to transmit the copy directly to Gilland's Publishing Co., said Staci Jimison, Roar editor. lt was a new experience and it caused many frustrating days, but it also saved us a lot of time and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The third publication, the year- book, also experienced changes. We tried to steer away from the traditional black and orange cover this year. We picked a cover material that was new to the factory this year and I felt it was effective, editor Lisa Kahrs said Our theme was also unique Since leap year happens once every four years, it seemed ap- propriate to call the book The Longest Year Gs 'N-N STAFF WRITERS - Students like Dale-Ann Wilson experienced many re-writes as the staff publications strived to be accurate and concise.

Although these students made up approximately 60 percent of the enrollment, they had a deceiving FTE of 198. Our FTE ffull time equivalencyj was 998 with the day time students making up 800 of that number, Coun- selor Forest Smith said. It takes 15 hours to equal one FTE and many of the students only took one class. That means it took several students to be counted as one FTE. The night students were as diverse in their reasons for taking classes as they werefn the types of classes they took. According to coordinator Conrad Jimison, there were three reasons most students chose to take these classes. The biggest reason was to gain new skills to either keep the iob they had or to make themselves em- ployable, he said. To continue an education or to upgrade the education they already had was a popular reason to take classes but some of the students took classes lust technology areas were as popular with the night students as they were with the day students. There was a lot of interest in both computers and any information processing classes, Jimison said. But there was less interest in the leisure-time classes. There is however, enough interest in such classes to keep offering them. One advantage to night classes was the ever-changing selections. We offered a varied selection of classes to meet the needs of the dif- ferent students, Jimison said. The class offerings are continually cycling and changing. Many continuing education studen- ts approached their classes with a much more serious attitude after ex- periencing life. The continuing ed students have been out in the real world and know what it takes to get by, Smith said. They were there to learn, not goof off. 11 Kent Koehler continuing education!77 Business Enrollm nt Boom causes impact as instructors adjust for class sizes A 'boom' in enrollment swept all phases of the business department. Business is where the action is. l think that's why my business management classes have ex- perienced such a dramatic increase in enrollment. We had to split In- troduction to Business and Human Relations into two sections and a couple of my other classes were filled to capacity, Bob Brennaman, in- structor, said. Brennaman said to spice up his classes he invited community business leaders in to speak and took his students on business oriented field trips. While enrollment was also high in accounting, there was only one class in particular that set a record high. My Principles of Accounting had the largest enrollment ever. My other classes weren't up that much from last year. They usually had between I2 and T6 students which is a good size for an accounting course, Joe lssaacson, instructor said. nv' TAP, T - Denise assignmen make certain that it's In the Productio yping class, students For Gerald Anderson, data processing instructor, the IO percent increased enrollment presented a few problems, but they weren't anything he couldn't solve. I had a large enrollment in all my classes. My biggest class was ln- troduction to Data Processing. I had 42 students enrolled and although my classroom was set up for only 38. lf all 42 showed up, I just dragged in four more chairs, he said. I also set up a lab schedule to alleviate problems. The students were only allowed to come in at their scheduled time. This system worked pretty well because it gave all students the opportunity to use the terminals. For most students, getting a job was the main reason for enrolling in data processing. Most of the students were enrolled in the one-year program. They selected this program because it gave them the opportunity to find im- mediate employment and it also eliminated having to take subiects 7 ?f fill- , . on a practice et and progressed at tlgir rate. lPh9.to'b'pPiper Jackson, --- sc of Q' 78fdata processing-business ,. x, 21 DATA PROCESSING FEVER - The program in- creased I0 percent in enrollment which presen- ted a few problems, but none that couldn't be solved.

It was a fast way for them to learn a trade, so they could go out and make some money. A maiority of these students couldn't afford to go to school for two, three, or four years, so the one-yar program provided the ideal solution, Anderson said. State-of-the-art equipment, like the IBM Systemf34 and the micro- computers provided students the op- portunity to receive valuable training for careers as computer personnel. Everyone is interested in finding out about computers and learning how to operate them. Computers have become an integral part of everyone's life, Anderson said. The Department of Labor says that the future is in computers. They predict that two out of three office workers and one out of two factory workers will be using computer terminals by l99O.

Right now we are trying to come up with an inter-face cable that would link us directly to the machine shop, drafting instructor Evert Malan said. Then we could print up ci drawing and send it directly to a machine shop computer for computer aided manufacturing lCAMl. Although the CADXCAM process was not in full operation this year, drafting students still made use ofthe state-of-the-art CAD machine. Students received instruction on the computer after they learned drafting 'basics and Malan believed it gave his instruction an extra dimension. lt is very accurate, upto iOO0th of an inch, and there is no way a student can be that accurate, Malan said. It is much faster because it eliminates the trigonometry and other math for the student so they can concentrate onthe design. Carpentry instructor Ben Cleveland found instances where a computer could prove helpful with his classes. There are not too many places, ex- cept cabinet making, that we could use computers and that wouldn't have been practical since we only build one set of cabinets a year, Cleveland said. I think the need for computers would come if a student decided to be a contractor and go to a four-year school. This is not to say that carpentry students were not made familiar with the computer. We emphasized when and where they should and could be used so students knew how to get information through computers, Cleveland said. The carpentry students con- centrated on learning their skill well enough to complete a house in the Boyer Heights addition east of town. This was the fifth, and last, house car- pentry students built in that sub- division and, according to Cleveland, new land would have to be sought for a the next construction site. Several new features were added to the house this year. We added a duct-work fireplace to heat the entire house. There are fans to move the heat and this is a com- pletely separate system from the cen- tral heating, Cleveland said. We also added a solar hot water system where the sun heats the water and saves about S20 monthly on the elec- trical bill.

One problem faced in the class was trying to learn the new things and maintain the old. iPhoto by Ron Trevinol UNDER IT All - Instructor Robert Boggs assists Norman Johnson in the adlustment of a breukline. Auto mechanics bought a front wheel drive car this year and had to learn everything about it from suspension to steering. iPhoto by Ron Trevinol li for students in welding, auto-mechanics areas High technology seemed to be the new ear mark of the '80s, but for auto mechanics and welding the term was nothing new. We're always updating our program and we've got this high technology coming on, said Robert Justice, welding instructor. But it's really not new to welding, and the automotive industry has been using computers for years. Auto mechanics instructor Robert Boggs echoed this statement. The class is not unfamiliar with computers and what they do, he said. Ninty-nine percent of all automobiles have some type of com- puter in them. Nevertheless, the auto mechanics program had no computers. We don't have any at this time but we hope to purchase a computer analyzer for engine, fuel, and elec- trical work. Equipment of the automotive industry is computerized 82fauto mechanics-welding because of speed and accuracy, Boggs said. A lot of figures go into an automobile and the computer can aid with this but in our trade, a com- puter does not replace the technician. Because of the complexity of the trades, it was essential that both welding and auto mechanics students knew all the basics first. ' Welding is a pretty complex trade and people are going to have to be better educated. They become technicians not just workers, Justice said. 'So when they leave here they know the basics but they realize they are no way near done. So we em- phasize teaching the basics and com- bine it with technology. Teaching basics was also an aim of auto mechanics but one that gets more difficult as time goes on. Every year is different because cars change and there is something new to teach each year. But you still Old I-lat have to keep learning about the cars from 20-30 years ago because they are still around. An example of this problem oc- curred this year as a new car was boughtfor class. This year we added front wheel drive to the program and had to cover all the different aspects of it-like suspension and steering, Boggs said. So if we add the front wheel drive, what do we cutout? But the advantages of having iob opportunities outweighed the problems of either the welding or auto mechanics curricula. lt's a wide open field and it's up to the person what he wants to do, Justice said. The local economy is slow but I've seen them come and go so that doesn't mean anything. We've come a long way and opportunities a-reinnum-bera-ble. - -V - Lisa Kahrs IT SPARKLES - Emphasizing the basics Is im- portant to all industrial tech instructors and welding was no exception.

N . , W wi f f f ,V , . ,f griculture Computing Skill offer extra dimension to i Although the agriculture program experienced a slight decrease in enrollment, the advancements they made with computers improved the overall effectiveness ofthe program. According to Larry Schwintz, in- structor, enrollment didn't increase because ofthe state ot the economy. I think you can attribute enrollment to economic times. No one thing was to blame--iust a com- bination ot things, Schwintz said. Agriculture was hit pretty hard. The emphasis in the classes took on a new direction as instructors added computer application to their presen- tations. We began looking at computers in the classrooms and how we can use them to our benefit, Schwintz said. Computers have had a big impact on the campus and the whole business area for that matter and we need to Agri-Business program and career potential keep up to date within each program. Computer-aided farming ottered a myriad of possibilities to agriculture students. One of the places we used com- puters was in record keeping and ac- counting, Schwintz said. They itar- mersl have to keep records like all businesses do even if it's not quite the same inventory. The computers were also used as a time-saving device that allowed students to spend more time with ac- tual class work. Agriculture itself uses a lot of numbers and a computer can act as a number cruncher and as a decision- making aid, Schwintz said. This allows students to spend more time on the decisions they are 'going to make rather than the actual adding, subtracting, multiplying and Another ot the unique aspects of the agriculture program was a work- block program which allowed studen- ts to leave campus for eight weeks to work in agriculture-related areas. In- structors believed that aspect of the program was essential because it gave students practical experience and they found that computer in- struction was important in assuring that students were well prepared for the work-block experience. One ot our goals was to provide a student with tools to survive in the world of agriculture or the world of work, this was one of the things he needed, Schwintz said. A lot of the students on work block were working with computers. Lisa Kahrs agriculture!85 Electronic Equipment robot, computers add new dimension to courses While machine shop began to ex- pond their program to computer machinery, the electronics program strived to learn the maintenance of computers. Second semester marked the first time the computer was actually in- corporated in the Machine Shop program and instructor Charles White felt it was a success. Almost 100 percent of the students showed a great deal of interest, he said. They appeared to be enioying themselves because any spare time was spent working programs. Electronics' biggest change was the addition ofa robot built from a Heath Kit by instructor Don Hughes. We're implementing Hero frobotj more and more in the classes as a means of practical application of cir- cuits, Hughes said. It took me 80 hours to build it and it will probably take me a year to learn to run it, so we are continually learning. Although the machine shop has been using computers in the classroom, White is currently working on a way to bring the computer to the shop. Our first priority is to tie in the CAD Ccomputer aided draftingj NOT A TOY - The electronics' robot is a good way for students Randy Parkes and Chet Logue to understand how circuits operate.

This will allow the drafting department to feed material directly to the machinery. The electronics program also has plans for the future by incorporating a course in Introduction to Robot. Eventually the maiority of the in- dustry will be run by robots and we need to know howto maintain them, Hughes said. Everything has gone computer so we try to add more and more, even though we don't have an actual course yet. Although the opportunities for electronic students are great, Hughes feels there are a couple of deterrents. Our enrollment was about average this year and one problem with this is the fact that the whole fir- st semester ofthe program is devoted entirely to math, he said. Job op- portunity is unlimited but lab placement is hard in this area. To stay in the field you almost have to leave Ark City because it is very limited in its need for an electrical technician.

Tiger players Ben Anderson, Pat Bullocks, Terrence Green, Alan Schuckman, and Chris West received all-conference honorable mention honors. Quarterbacks Terry Goodloe and Darrin Rohr led the Tigers to a fifth place finish in the conference in passing with an average of 126.67 yards per game. Individually, Goodloe averaged 31.7 yards per toss and Rohr averaged 33.3 yards per pass. Coach Bill Yocum was pleased the Tigers were able to gain some recognition in undoubtly the toughest conference race he'd ever seen. We gained valuable lessons and experience during the season. The conference didn't have any weak sister teams and it was full of sur- prises. Dodge City was picked to finish seventh in the conference, but they ended up undefeated. he said. It iust goes to show you that hard work and determination pays off for a team and enables them to win. After losing seven conference games, the Tigers obtained its first and only conference win against Gar- den City inthe season finale. Garden City was definitely the best game we played all season. We executed very well and our difense did an outstanding job. We should've beat Hutchinson and Fort Scott but we lust didn't play well as a team, Yocum said. Too many individuals and not enough team effort were the maior downfalls for the Tigers. We had a good team and we were a lot better than our record showed. But we lust didn't have a winning season, because we didn't display a total team effort, George Dugan, uick uard,said.

Following a season that gave the Tigers a slight edge over the Red Ravens, the tied as co-champions with coffeyvilleplayoffs for Region VI berth in the Region VI championship game The hopes of a sixth consecutive, undisputed Eastern Division Jayhawk Conference championship were dashed when the Lady Tigers fell to Coffeyville 76-62 and shared the championship with their arch-rivals. We didn'twant the Eastern Division playoff for the first time in six years, Linda Hargrove, head coach, said. We iust never molded into a team that could get production from everyone. We weren't as consistent as we needed to be to win a cham- pionship. The Tigers had won the cham- pionship since the conference was formed and they had defeated Cof- feyville during regular season play, but during the playoff game fell behind by as much as 20 points and could never recover the winning edge long enough to take the game. But the season was one of highlights. The Lady Tigers compiled a I7-8 overall record and 15-3 in con- ference play. According to Hargrove, it was a season to be proud of. Our biggest highlight overall was repeating as winners of the con- ference title, even if we did share it 94 fwomens basketball with CoffeyviIle, she said. Probably the single biggest highlight was beating Hutch at Hutch and beating Crowder when we played them the second time. Even though the team didn't ad- vance as far as Hargrove would have liked, she believed the ability was there. This year's team didn't have the depth last year's did and last year's team came together better at the end of the season, she said, but the teams were very close in talent. That talent was recognized as Cheryl Pfalzgraf was selected as an All-Region VI player and Juana Wilson and Debbie Flood were selec- ted as honorable mention All-Region Vl. Even though three players were singled out for their action on the court, Hargrove felt the sophomores and their team experience helped make the season successful. We had a good group of sophomores who provided us with ex- perience at every position, she said. Our inside game developed into an integral part of our game plan as the season progressed. Hargrove had mixed emotions about the season. lt was a successful, yet disap- pointing season, she said. We won a lot of games but we also had a lot of individual inconsistencies. The team just lacked the drive it needed to be really successful. Kent Koehler ., We were G ,.,,,, , , A y c l o s e k n i t 6 2 ' V- ::5ff g r o u p .

Our 5-23 record would've been much better if we could've wiped the slate clean and started the season over. Coach Gilmore helped each and every one of us to mature into good players so naturally, we're sad to see him go, forward Robert Wilks said. We've stuck it out through thick and thin and I think we're winners. We learned to believe in each other. Gilmore said the major stumbling block this season was a series of almost games. I'm disappointed with the way the season went. We played so many close games, but were never able to get over the hump, he said. I think, When we lost the tight ones, the players began doubting themselves. Sophomore Bruce Washington said lack of team unity hindered the Tigers this year. It was fun, but a real long season. I think we started playing better toward the end, but still never pulled together, he said. We had too many individuals and not enough team- work. A team plays much better as a whole. Despite the dismal record, Gilmore felt the were several highlights to the season. I think two of the highpoints of the season were our one-pointvictories over Butler and Fort Scott. It sure was nice to win a couple of the close ones, Gilmore said. Also, I'm happy that we were able to win our last home game against Neosho. That contest was mainly a matter of pride for the kids. Since we were out of the playoffs completely. I thought the way the kids went ahead and played hard anyway demonstrated a great deal of character. Gilmore felt the best game of the season was played against Kansas City on the Tigers' home court. It was our highest offensive outing and it was the only time the whole bench scored, hesaid. Gilmore credited Eddy LyDay as being the most consistent player. I think it's great that Eddy was named to the all-star team. Eddy exerted a great amount of effort in his playing. He averaged I8 points a game and there wasn't hardly a purer shooter in the conference, Gilmore said. The Tigers tied with Fort Scott for last place in the Jayhawk Conference race with a 3-II record.

According to SGA President Mike Friday, student participation at the movie was much better than at the dances. There were four times as many people at the movie than at the last dance we had, he said. We had alot of good response. But the movie was not the begin- ning of the homecoming festivities. They began at half-time of the men's game when Debbie Flood was crowned Winter Homecoming Queen. I crowned her and Sam Floyd ISGA vice-presidentl presented her with a bouquet of roses. Three cheerleaders, handed out gifts to the queen's court and then pinned cour- sages on them, Friday said. Then Debbie and her court were escorted off the floor by their fathers. Flood found the honor to be unex- pected. I was so surprised. I couldn't believe it, she said. I had just finished playing the ballgame and I didn't have much time to get ready. I was in such a hurry, I didn't have time to think about what would happen on- ce I got out there. Traditionally, the queen would reign over the dance, but Flood wasn't disapppointed about missing the occasion. I could understand it since homecoming was on a Wednesday rather than a Saturday. The dance would get over much later than a movie and we did have school the next day, she said. PIus, if it had been on a Saturday, a lot of students would have rather gone home, mein- cluded. - Friday found himself being ap- proached several times during the game in regards to the dance. A lot of people questioned me at the game asking me what time the dance was and where was it going to be, he said. But it didn't even com- pare with the response we had at the movie. But there was disappointment ex- pressed by SGA representative Darla Call although she concedes the movie was more popular. It breaks tradition but at least there was participation, Call said. No one was going to the dances so we needed to try something. Friday felt it was the equipment that made this movie so much more popular than the ones SGA had at- tempted to show monthly. We rented a big screen and hooked up Carriasco's stereo to it, he said. It had more of a theatre at- mospheref' Lisa Kahrs DOUBLE CONGRATULATIONS - SGA officers Mike Friday and Sam Floyd place the traditional kiss on Queen Debbie FIood's cheeck after presenting her with flowers and crown.

V ROUGH PLAY - On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, B0 men and women competed ln the intramural basketball program.

According to coordinator Russ Gilmore, the intramural program was started for several reasons. lt allowed students to get involved in extra-curricular activities and helped them to get to know more students, he said. Intramurals was also a way for the competitors to exercise, Of the three sports offered, volleyball, football, and basketball, the most popular was basketball. Approximately 85-90 people par- ticipated in basketball compared to 50 in football and 25 in volleyball, Gilmore said. I guess the reason for lOO!intramurals this was that everyone thought they could play basketball. Due to the loss of the football players, the intramurals took on a new perspective second semester. The teams were more evenly mat- ched and there was less trouble among the competitors, Gilmore said. They were doing more of what the intramural program was designed for, just going out and having a good time. The number of students par- ticpating in football was at about the same level as in recent years, but the volleyball program was below average. Fifty was about average for the last few years for football, but volleyball never really got off the ground, Gilmore said. The main problem with volleyball was that it started when students were more concerned with other activities that were going on. Even though intramurals were designed for students, the faculty and staff took advantage of the program to sharpen their skills against the students. Enough were involved to form one basketball team and have participants on another. The faculty participation gave the students a chance to get back at their teachers and the teachers a chance to show their stuff to the students, Gilmore said. l think most of the students would agree something would be missing from the program without faculty participation.

Women's softball and basketball teams boasted better than 3.0 grade point averages, and the tennis team followed closely with a near 3.0 grade point average. Cowley loses very few athletes due to grade deficiency, said Jack Beadles, athletic director. Although it's an individual matter, most of the coaches require their players turn in periodic grade report cards. Conference and institution policies required that athletes maintain at least a 1.5 grade point average and be enrolled in a minimum of I0 credit hours per semester. While most coaches kept tab on their athletes' grades, women's volleyball and basketball coach Linda Hargrove didn't see grades as a problem for her squads. I mention very little about grades. It's kind of an unwritten rule between me and the players that they must keep their grades up, she said. They know it's part of their respon- sibility and they know if they screw up in the classroom, I won't bail them out. So, I haven't had any problems with players losing their eligibility. Football coach Bill Yocum did keep track of his team members' grades. We strived to help the student achieve academic success. I required the IDIGYGTS to turn in a report on their grades and their attendance to me once a month. According to Ken Michel, football center, having time to be good in a sport and having time to be good in class was alla matter of priority. I had 15 hours of classes during football season. It was kind of rough to get home from practice every night at 5:30, eat, go watch football films and then go back home to study. Although football was important to me, my education was equally im- portant, the freshman said. Volleyball and basketball starter Juana Wilson echoed Michel's sen- timent. I didn't have any conflicts between sports and studies. I had ample time to get my work done. If it didn't get done during class, I had to make time by cutting my leisure time down, Wilson said. Sometimes the athletes found they ended up studying in strange places. It's hard to keep caught up, especially in subiects like algebra which requires a lot of homework, she said. I spent a lot of time studying on the road and bet- ween matches.

Traditionally sponsoring activities such as the beeffwatermelon feed, fall and winter homecomings, Tigerama, and monthly movies, this year's SGA changed the agenda. We showed movies the first few months of school but nobody showed, so we couldn't see any sense in con- tinuing them, SGA President Mike Friday said. We did back the dorm with the casino night and other ac- tivities they had. One maior change SGA made was to cancel the winter homecoming dance and replace it with a movie. Normally the dance would start at IO p.m. but we began instead with a music video followed by a movie of the students' choice by setting a voting booth up, Friday said. This was not something that will definitely become tradition-we iust thought we would try it. Although attendance was not satisfactory to SGA officers, it was up from the previous year. The turnout to the extra-curricular activities was better this year, Friday said. As compared to last year the college has mellowed out. There were a lot of problems with Tiger Hall and the dorm but now lack of interest and participation has cut down necessary iobs of student govern- ment. But there was one SGA function, perhaps the main one, that remained strong. SGA is here for students. It's the direct line of communication from the administration to the students and students to administration, Friday said. Many times the students feel they cannot go directly to the ad- ministration with a problem or con- cern and we are here to fill that gap.

We held the South Central Leader- ship Conference here first semester. This conference encompassed a huge area of the state and brought the ot- ficers from surrounding colleges to Cowley, Charles White, sponsor, said. We had two students elected as district officers. Jeff Hovey was elec- ted president and Ronnie Neises was elected vice-president. Besides having two students elec- ted as district officers, including Hoveyasstate president, the in- dustrial technology division of VICA participated in several fund raising events. We sold chances on a S250 scholarship which could be used to cover any expenses at CCCC, White said. John Posey, an auto mechanics student, ended up with the scholar- ship. We more than covered the cost of the scholarship and made a fair profit. Cosmetology VICA was also very active in fund-raising activities with their Mexican food stand bringing in 7 most of the money. We made approximately S450 profit from the stand. But we spent S400 to have the carpentry class build a booth for our use later on, Pat Mauzey, co-smetology instructor and Cosmetology VICA sponsor said. We also made S100 from the bake sales which we gave to a VICA member whose house had burned down. Even though the industrial technology division of VICA was more active in leadership conferences and seminars, Cosmetology VICA students attended some of the functions. We all went to the South Central Leadership Conference that the in- dustrial technology division of VICA hosted and our first semester president Brian Reed and Rima Car- valho attended a conference as visitors so they could report back to the other members, Mauzey said. VICA, which tried to become stronger and more involved in com- munity interests, also taught its mem- bers the importance ofthe individual. VICA teaches you to have dignity about what you do even though it loc- cupationl may not be as prestigious as others, Carvalho said.

Cold- well led most of the discussions, while the rest of the time was reser- ved to plan special events, Phil Buechner, sponsor said. 'On Thur- sday evenings we met at my home. This was a time when both students and faculty members gave their per- sonal testimonies. Buechner said the primary ob- jective of CIA was to provide students an opportunity for student fellowship on campus. We don't preach, we just help students' faith to blossom and ITOXCIA FCA Aside from the bi-weekly meetings, members had the chance to participate in a couple of retreats at Rock Springs. The first one we attended was af- filiated with FCA. lt was a real treat for the students because they had the opportunity to listen to Olympic track star, Madeline Manning Mims, Buechner said. We also participated in the Campus Crusade. Ron Ralston, a key-note speaker, delivered a deep and Bible-oriented message for students at the session. Another highlight for the CIA group was former Cowley student Mark Austin'sspecial presentation. It was an enjoyable experience for the group. Mark performed his magic show, and then presented his slide show which dealt with his summer ' V . - the slide presentation, Mark gave the group his personal testimony, Buechner said. FCA differed from CIA only in the aspect that it was centered precisely on athletes and their needs. The major difference between the two clubs is in their function. FCA's function was to provide varsity athletes a chance for fellowship, while CIA was directed more at non,- athletes, said Ben Cleveland, FCA sponsor. In the spring, FCA initiated a new project. The jog-a-thon served as a way for FCA members to make money for their own treasury and to lend their finacial support to the Kan- sas state office.

PBL. an extension of Future Business Leaders of America, offered students an extra-dimension as they considered careers in the business world. We tried to develop leadership abilities through various activities, sponsor Mary Wilson said. Among these were money-making proiects, field trips. and attending leadership conferences on a national, state, and regional levelfl PBL experienced a drop in mem- bership from 20 to 15, the lowest in several years. But the membership was active. Over half attended the State Leadership Conference in Lawerence. Like other clubs on campus, PBL remained busy with money-making protects. Our biggest money-making proiect was the one we held at Christ- mas. Wilson said. We raffled off a turkey and all the trimmings. That project netted the club S125 which they used to send students to the Leadership Conference and state competition in Lawrence where two members took top honors. Pam Lunak, sophomore, received first place in Data Processing ll, third place in Economics and third place in Accounting II, Kyndol Randall took third place in the Miss Business Executive competition. For Lunak the highlight of the con- ference was not her first place win but an instructional speaker she heard there. We heard a speaker on megatren- ds and that was interesting. He talked about all the possible social changes for the future and it gave you a lot to think about, Lunak said. Making money to attend con- ventions was also one ofthe aims of the PTK chapter.

PTK ended the year with 35 members and a number of money- making prolects geared to helping seven students attend the national convention in Washington and to aiding in the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. The restoration protect was designated by the national group as the service prolect of the year and local members sold flowers and weeds, wrapping paper and held bake sales to raise the money for their portion of the contribution. lPl1oto by Gary Collinsj PHI THETA KAPPA - FRONT ROW: Tlsha Driskill, Marilyn Reeves, David Smith, Kim Rayl, Sheana Godwin, JoAnn Mclemore.

PTK was an invitation-only club recognizing and honoring students who achieved a high level of academic prowess. The requirements included having a 3.5 grade point average, being a full-time student, and working toward a degree or cer- tificate. The 35 members kept busy at- tending conferences.

BSU held a number of dances and social events for the entire campus during the year. Organized in 1969 by College President Gwen Nelson, the club was designed to allow black students to retain self identity and work towards communicating with whites. We hope BSU did iust as well or better than in previous years with this goal, Gerry Doc Huston, club president said. We wanted to try to help out the community and to stress the unity of blacks and whites. TAC was also united in their goal to provide support to athletes. lt's always fun to cheer, even if we lose sometimes, because we know we put out an effort, Mary St. Clair, club president said. I wanted to get everybody involved because l'm an athlete and I know what it means to have someone cheer for you. The cancellation of football af- fected the membership of both clubs. BSU sponsored activites ranging from a bake sale to a car wash to a watermelon feed to the talent show and to a number of dances following college events. The talent show was the most suc- cessful. We had a good variety of talent and a good crowd, Huston said. The money we've accumulated through fund raising was used to pay previous debts. For the first time, BSU is ahead with no money owed. We've even managed to put some aside for next year. TAC members were busy all year long making spirit signs, sponsoring the bonfire, Valentine grams and spirit week. l Dale-Ann Wilson TAC-BSUXI I5 Il IN THE LIMELIGHT - Karon Taylor and Sam Floyd modal tho nowoxf fashions In formal wear.

Until last year, KHESS produced an exclusive Bridal Affair, but this changed to enable other spring fashions to be modeled as well as bridal attire. Nineteen students modeled all types of clothing including spor- tswear, casual wear, and formal at- tire from nearly a dozen area mer- chants. The event proved to be not only fun, but also profitable. We cleared S121 after all the bills were paid, sponsor Carol Hobaugh- Maudlin said. The money was spent on our trip to the state convention at Topeka. At the convention students at- tended a variety of seminars which dealt with several areas of home economics. They centered their talks on topics that were within seven different fields, Maudlin said. A few were consumerism, interior design, and appliances. Maudlin felt the convention proved useful to her as well as students. Students were able to broaden their knowledge on the availabilities in the career world, she said. l really enjoyed the state-wide con- ference because it was an excellent way for me to gain ideas on teaching skills. Open to all students on campus, KHESS offered benefits other than in- volvement and participation. Our activities required planning and coordinating and I feel this developed student- responsibility, Maudlin said.. - I JoAnn McLemore CENTER OF ATTENTION - Tlger Basketball player Sean Myers escorts Dorl Withers on stage.

This was a very busy year and we iust didn't get to do as many things as we usually do. We iust weren't able to get things rolling early enough. We only took two trips this year. We toured the Kirkpatrick Center in Oklahoma City and the Wichita Om- nisphere, Bill Forrest, SEC sponsor, said. Aside from the tours, the 12 SEC members had the opportunity to view movies during their bi-weekly meetings. We watched science related movies like 'Restless Continents,' 'Careers in Engineering and NASA films,' Forrest said. We also at- tended-a lecture by Dr. Craig Wheeler at Southwestern College. He's an astronomer and he talked about black holes and strange, unusual creatures that inhabit the universe. Forrest said even though it was somewhat a slow year, the club was able to achieve its maior obiective. We basically try to promote in- terest in science and show that scien- ce doesn't have to be confined to the classroom. I really believe we achieved this much, he said. The Agri-Business Club also was a victim of a faltering start. We didn't have the finances to take any extended trips. We did, however, tour the New Era Mill, Ark Valley Feed Lot and a number of Cowley County's farmers were suc- cessful in a particular area, Larry Schwintz, sponsor, said. Schwintz said the maior highlight of the year was the South Central District Crops Contest which was co- sponsored bythe club. Our members along with Ark City High School's FFA set up and ran the contest. It was a big success because we had a record 80 participants, Sch- wintz said. The organization is open to all students enrolled in the agri-business curriculum. The purpose is to develop leadership abilities in the agri-supply industry and in community activities. The program is affiliated with sales and management organizations on the state and national level, Sch- wintz said. The 20 members alternated working concessions during the last half of the basketball season. We used the money raised to finance our pizza party at the end of the year. Also, the money helped to buy Cowley County caps for all the in- coming freshmen. Overall I thought the year was pretty much average and we had fair participation from the students, -Schwintz said. Chris Zerener ag business sciencefi I9 reative Activities overing all aspects of their field, the Drama Club and Society for Collegiate Journalists lSCJl at- tempted to understand career goals. On a two-day field trip, five SCJ members visited Josten's Yearbook Company, Topeka Capitol Journal, Smith and Yehle Advertising Agency in Kansas City, MO, and KMBC Since every member of the club is a journaliam major, I thought it was important they learn something about every aspect of the field, sponsor Linda Puntney said. Even if it's an area they are not going in to, they should at least be aware of it. Freshman JoAnn McLemore, ad- vertising manager for Cowley publications, discovered there was a lot more to advertising than she realized. I went in there thinking I'd get a few pointers on how to sell ads but I was wrong. I was impressed with the organization and work involved with just one client, she said. It opened my eyes to a part of advertising I wasn't familiar with. For journalism education major Gary Collins, every aspect of the trip proved useful. I enjoyed the whole trip because I plan on teaching journalism and it helped my to realize what a wide area the word journalism en- compasses, he said. The drama club members were also made aware of different aspects of their field through the plays they per- formed. This year we did a musical for the first time in several years. This was something different than what they were used to, sponsor Sharon Yar- brough said. Then our spring play SOCIETY FOR COLLEGIATE JOURNALISTS - FRONT ROW: Linda Puntney, sponsor, JoAnn Mclamora, Chrls Zaronar. BACK ROW: Staci Jlmison, Gary Colllns, Llsa Kahrs. lPhato by Gary Colllnsl was a comedy - that's what everyone seems to enjoy the most. The drama club took on a new project this year that called for a dif- ferent type of acting. We did a Tales for Tots second semester that was geared for preschoolers, Yarbrough said. The script was not professional, not very long, and the language level was at two, three, and four-year olds rather than an adult audience. It provided variety for the kids. According to Yarbrough, the plays were the only variety the club mem- bers received. Our plays were our major goals for the year. After spending eight hard weeks on the play, they don't want to do anything else, she said. But we consider the plays to be major accomplishments. SCJ had two occassions during the year to not only meet journalists of high standing but also have their own publications judged. Members at- tended the national convention of the Associated Collegiate Press in Chicago where they heard top jour- nalists speak in instructional sessions. In the Spring they attended the Kansas Association of Journalism Advisers in Wichita where they also competed with journalism students from the other Kansas community colleges. We always enjoy attending jour- nalism workshops and conventions, Puntney said. There's such a wealth of material to learn and every ex- perience will make the students bet- ter journalists.

But one club, Circle- K, spent their year helping others. According to Circle-K sponsor Carriasco McGilbra, the club faced problems at the beginning of the year. Our president got sick and was out of school for quite a while. She ended up quitting-school so we had to start all over again, he said. lt resulted in a loss of members also. We only had .10 members this year. I DECA also experienced a decrease in membership but sponsor Robert Brennaman contributed this to students being more concerned with work. We have about IO members but 'we were not all that active this year. The students were all pretty well in- volved in work and not as willing to a negative thing - it's something that runs in cycles depending on outside factors. This year I think it had a lotto do with the economy. DECA did find time to attend con- test and take field trips. We did go to state and national contest in the spring. This covered salemanship, human relations, ad- vertising, and other business related topics, Brennaman said. Earlier in the year we went to a trade fair in Kansas City and an advertising agen- cy in Wichita. The McCormic- Armstrong Agency proved very wor- thwhile. They talked about the ad- vertising promotion of instant-cook food like frozen dinners. Circle-K also managed a couple of trips during the year. We sent a couple of members to Colorado in November. That con- vention was geared to share ideas with other groups and organize plans for the rest of the year, McGilbra spring convention where they elect new regional officers. They campaign and organize andthe whole bit while they're there. While at Cowley, Circle-K kept themselves busy helping others. We helped with the Jerry Lewis Telethon by manning the phones and we provided services for the Red Cross when they came to Ark City, McGilbra said. We also provided meals on wheels for the elderly and helped the Kiwanis Club with the pan- cake feed during Arkalalah. DECA concentrated more on student relations with the community. lf the students are in a business- related club, they learn parlimentary procedures, Brennaman said. The club aids in forming group iden- tification and being able to go out in the community and learn they have a voice in what happens. 1-2? .J it Lisa Kahrs 'X 4 N1 X . rr' CIRCLE K CLUB MEMBERS - Carrlasco McGlIbra, sponsor, Kelth Middleton.

The Agri-Business club, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America QVICAJ, and the Student National Education Association CSNEAJ were among the clubs that catered to the students' needs. According to Steve Arellano, machine and tool technology major, VICA was successful in meeting its goal of providing an insight into the world of work. lt's kind of like a union where everybody works together, he said. It showed us how to cooperate with everyone from the draftsman to the machinist to get the iob done right.

Most of the time this was accomplished by placing the student with someone already working in the student's field of study. SNEA started that program this year and according to Danice Clover, it worked well. They tried to set you up with a per- son in your exact field in the com- munity so you could see first hand what your iob will be like, she said. I felt the program was helpful in helping me decide on my career. Not all clubs with internship programs set the student up with someone outside the organization. Activities selected by the club often provided a real work experience. The running of the concession stand taught us howto properly run a business, Linda Groene, Agri-business club member said. It taught us how to buy and sell profitably. Some of the clubs competed state wide with other clubs to determine the best students. VICA member Steve Arellano was named one of the best machinist students in the state and he was happy for the op- portunities the local club gave him.

' 1 .M 1? - sw , ,, Y N 2 Th Longest Year brings activities and events to satisfy students Boy, that was some year wasn't it? I'll say. The fall enrollment was the largest ever, football was can- celled, we got all those computers for the classes, Melvin Potter brought Michael Jackson to lite at Cowley, and the basketball coach and the dean of students resigned. Things happened pretty fast. I agree. I was sorry to see football go but some good things did happen as a result of that action. Like the unemployment scholarships and the neat lackets given to all the students on grants-in-aid. There were so many activities and things to do that with all the homework, classes, and working part-time, I hardly had any time to myself. , Yeah, and you're lust thinking about the stuff that happened here. Remember all the controversy about i3Ofclosing Wolfe Creek, and the splash that Hart made in the presidential campaign? Sure, how could you miss it. There were times when there wasn't anything else on television except the presidential campaign. Hey, remem- ber when Laura returned to General Hospital and then left again with Luke? Oh, forget soap operas. What about Sugar Ray Leonard returning to the ring after a two-year retirement. And the Olympic coverage made some good TV time, too. You know, I really didn't get to watch much television because there was so much other stuff going on and things like the free SGA movies were deals that you iust couldn't refuse if you had any spare time. Yeah, there was more than enough to fill all of your time, even if it was THE LONGEST YEAR. 5-f J . . f .. if!-L., , . . . kfivgg ing! ,gm Q K-I V H l.. - eq K 1: 'D il 1' 5' T' fivilf- l ..
