Buildings and Grounds • ChuckSigler Team ' s Work Recognized For the Buildings and Grounds crew, getting the job done is a team effort. The crew works together to make sure that a lot of work which students take for granted is done and sometimes that ' s more of a job than they expect. School started Aug. 27, on Aug. 20, I still wasn ' t sure we would have everything ready, said. E.W. Shelton, director of buildings and grounds. But everyone was willing to work and we got finished, got the fur- niture moved in and everything was ready. Pitching in and working hard is what Shelton ' s crew is all about. There are 11 full-time employees on the crew and 1 1 student workers. Six custodians are responsible for minor repairs and for generally keeping the buildings clean. Nine others have specific building assignments and keep up the floors, walls, empty the trash, clean the restrooms and set up rooms for social functions. Two men maintain the exterior of the campus.

teacher as well as her love of reading and writing were the two most im- portant reasons for her to become an educator. For as long as I can remember, I ' ve loved reading and writing. When I learned to read, it seemed to me the greatest experience I had ever made. At 12, I started reading the books in the adult library, because I had read most of the books in the children ' s section and was eager for new books. I read novels like Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights without really understanding them. Reading is a first love for her and not being able to read is something she fears. I love reading so much, Darby continued, that I ' m afraid of aging and not being able to read any more. Another sad thought that often occurs to me is how sad it is that you can ' t read every book, -that there are good books you don ' t know about and you ' ll never read. Besides reading she likes sewing and cross stitching. The rest of my time, Darby said, I spend in the car taking my children somewhere. But I guess that ' s a problem every young mother has. by Bettina Heinz Rob Alexander • Tammy Wyant Alexander sets Goals Rob Alexander is shooting for a goal, besides the one on the court. ' We, the men ' s basketball team want to win the National Cham- pionship, but most importantly we want to play harder and with more pride and intensity than any of our opponents, Alexander said. As the new asssistant men ' s basketball coach, he will help the team to achieve its goal. Born in Ardmore, Okla., Alexander attended Altus High School in Altus, Okla. He graduated in 1978 receiving a basketball scholarship to Mid- western State in Oklahoma. Alexan- der then transferred to Murray State his sophomore year to play for Coach Ron Murphree. Alexander was the first All- Conference player I had. He was a very outstanding young man with a very good knowledge of the game, Murphree said. Alexander is a hard worker and very dedicated. He has all the qualities to be an outstanding coach. Deciding to pursue his education and basketball career, Alexander moved on to the University of Science and Arts in Oklahoma. During his stay there, he received many awards, one of which was the prestigious out- standing athletic scholar award for two consecutive years. As a college graduate, Alexander moved on to coaching and teaching at Carl Albert Junior College for two years. When Murphree ' s offer to work for him as assistant coach at CCCC came, he I think he (Murphree) is the best, to play and work for. His work is strict and disciplined, he pushes to the limit at all times. Rob Alexander readily accepted it because he knew Murphree from Murray State. I think he is the best, to play and work for. He works strict and disciplined. Murphree tends to make people better. The reason he is like this is because he cares about the players ' future, Alexander said. In addition to being the assissant men ' s basketball coach, Alexander is tennis coach, physical education and health instructor, admissions coun- selor and dorm director for Tiger Hall. 4rk.ii vis ( it A free press: Your key to freedom.

cuts grass, rakes leaves and watch the tress and landscaping for bag worms and diseases. In short, they take care of the outside appearance of the College. These regular duties keep the crew busy through the nine months of the academic year, but when summer comes and most people relax, their work really begins. Last summer, the College un- dertook 22 projects. Some of these were done by contractors with the buildings and grounds crew helping. They laid carpet in five areas around campus, put up new ceilings and lights in the lobby of the Aud- Gym and in Galle-Johnson Hall. An enclosure was built with lights and ceiling fans on the walkway at Business Technology. Six inches of in- sulation were added at the Bud Shelton, Director of Buildings and Grounds, and Phil Campbell, a member of the Buildings and Grounds crew repair the marquis on the Auditorium-Gymnasium. Damage was done to the building when a storm hit on July 4. Other repairs included replacing the capstone on the front of the building. Recreation Building, new boards were added on either side of the basketball goals and new emergency and exit lights were installed or up- dated. The July 4 storm brought more work to campus. Following the storm, a portion of the roof on the Aud . Gym had to be repaired and the crew was also responsible for the campus clean-up. The crew is a vital part of any event on campus. In addition to the normal demands made on them as College routine, they help out at Arkalalah and with the hundreds of activities scheduled on campus by the com- munity. In Renn Memorial Library, there could be a s many as five func- tions in one day in room 104 and 104A. The Recreation Building could have practices scheduled all day and a dance in the evening. The men enjoy their jobs and it shows in their work. I like my job, said Mike Crow, maintenance superintendent. There ' s a constant variety and it always changes. For Shelton, the attraction to the job has a lot to do with the people he works with. It was a very interesting summer. I learned a lot, but that ' s my theory of life, Shelton said. I thoroughly en- joy my job here. It ' s most rewarding because there ' s a good atmosphere, and I work with good people. cccc COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL , 1 I 308 East Central Ave. Arkansas City, Ks (316)442-6280 Hours: M-F 8:00-4:30 20% discount to Sr. Citizens CCCC Students Faculty JAN NITTIER S crt §fia College Jackets and Caps Sweats and Warmups Team Uniforms Fashion Sportswear Athletic Shoes Screen Printing and Trophies 226 North Summit 442-7425 Arkansas City 818 Main 221-0910 Winfield
