Cowley College - Tiger Daze Yearbook (Arkansas City, KS)

We decided to come out with the magazine on Parents. Family Day because the PULSE tries to tie all kin- ds of college events together in one publication. We pick events to cover that con- cern students, faculty and staff and although we concentrate mainly on campus, we plan on covering com- munity and national events, too. With the Star Wars story, we picked up a current national issue. In dealing with national issues, we want to report on Cowley reactions to them. As a magazine, the Pulse wants to report on everything that affects the lives of the students. A new event, Tiger Tubes Week was brought to campus. It was three days of fun thought up by Bob Juden, director of intramurals. Our cover shows Joey Wilson, sophomore and Pam Bahe, freshman finishing up the river race. Considering the size of Cowley, there are a number of cultural events for students. One of the biggest cultural programs on campus is the annual Crabtree Convocation. Thanks to a fund established by AAarjorie and Jack Rine in memory of her parents, Fred and LaRue Crab- tree, students and the community have the opportunity to be exposed to quality speakers and cultural programs each year. Tonight, the fourth Cra btree Con- vocation will highlight Paren- ts. Family Day. Featuring Ken Richerts in Mark Twain on Tour, the program is a Cowley celebration of the year Twain would have been 1 50. Take your time going through the magazine. We hope you ' ll enjoy it and that you ' ll get to know the people as well as we have gotten to know them. We look forward to knowing your reaction to the PULSE and any kind of response you might have will be ap- preciated. 12 Ken Richters, an Italian looking German, Irish actor, has been touring with a unique production for eight years. Richters ' portrayal of Mark Twain heads off the Crabtree Con- vocation, an annual cultural event at Cowley. Steven Spielberg, despite his parents ' beliefs, entertained a fascination for motion pictures and television as a child. From home movies to the silver screen, Spielberg delights audiences with his creative twists to stories. 19 One of three new instructors, Rob Alexander also is the new assistant coach for the men ' s basketball team.

Crabtree Convocation • John Dalton CRABTREE BRINGS TWAIN At 8 p.m. tonight Ark Citians and the families of Cowley County Com- munity College students will see Mark Twain come to life before their eyes. Ken Richters and his portrayal of Mark Twain in Mark Twain on Tour, comes to the Galle-Johnson Little Theater as the fourth annual Crabtree Convocation. Richters, a young Italian looking German. Irish actor, has been touring with this unique production for eight years. Before that he spent nearly three years researching the public and private life of Twain. Since 1978, Mark Twain on Tour has been the toast of legitimate theaters across the United States and Canada. Using Twain ' s words and sub- stituting some local names, Richters pokes fun at almost anyone. Most of all, his publicity material says, he wants his audience to laugh and have a great time. Richters started doing Twain almost out of desperation. He had done television, commercials, episodes and movies. But even with all the areas he was willing to work in, he was still actually working only about one week out of the month. Performing is not new to Richters. He started in the late 1960s as a featured dancer with the Simsburg Summer Theater. Television viewers may recognize him from his ap- pearances on Love Boat, made-for- television movies, and commercials for Coca-Cola, General Electric and Sears. He has even done some of the commercials as Twain.
