l8ffall play It was a Long Tim since a musical had been presented As the curtain was raised for the fall play, a new aspect was added - music. 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.

We've Come a Long Way into high-tech era with installment of computers Computers became an integral part of campus life as new equipment was added to all phases of Cowley's curriculum. 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.
