I worked as an assistant under my father for four years and received my instructor ' s license in 1972. To renew my instructor ' s license I have to receive 60 hours of professional training and 40 hours of advanced hairstyling every licen- sing period. I am also required to hold a Bachelor of Science degree and I am now working on a Bachelor of Science degree in Vocational Education, Mauzey said. Mauzey doesn ' t mind all the hours of training invloved because she enjoys the rewards of the job. The thing I like best about it, I guess, is the rewards that come later, after students have graduated and have gone out and gotten jobs and are successful, she said. Another rewarding aspect of the job for Mauzey is people. This profession is the second profession where you get to touch people. The first is doctors, they heal, cosmetologists can change people ' s personalities and make them feel better about them- selves. by Michelle Bair ' DMMUN TY IFED£RAL Sav ngs 625 N.

Cosmetology Students learn beauty magic in... A day in the life of a Cowley person usually starts with a pretty scary ex- periences glance in the mirror. Cosmetology students are anxious to make that first glance in the morning a little easier. Part of their training to make people look better includes hands-on experience, and their rates for the service are com- petitive. Regular rates for haircuts, per- ms, shampoos, manicures and everything else are about half the cost of a public salon. Senior citizens receive a 20 percent discount, as do Cowley students who bring along their I.D. card. Vice President of the College and Dean of Administration Sid Regnier has been getting his hair cut by the Cosmotology students ever since they moved into their current building, and he seems to like it. I really enjoy going over there. First of all I ' ve never been to a barber that many times in my life anyway. My dad cut my hair for 16 years and through a lot of other years I ' ve had friends who cut my hair. I enjoy going over and visiting with the studen- ts and it gives me the opportunity to observe the program. I think it probably makes the students more nervous than it does me. One of the students that we had a few years ago really caused some excitement when I ' d come over. I enjoy it. I ' ve always had good haircuts. According to Pat Mauzey, in- structor, there ' s no reason to be hesitant about letting a student cut your hair. ' They have to perform at a certain level before they are allowed to work in the lab. The only thing they don ' t have is the ex- perience behind them, ' she said. It takes 10 months to go through Cosmetology School, which translates into 1500 clock hours. All cosmetology students punch a time clock every day, and Mauzey says they soon learn to be punctual. Students complete eight weeks, or 320 hours of training before they are allowed to work on clients. It takes a lot of time on both the studen- ts ' and teacher ' s part, ' said Mauzey. Cheryl McCully is also a supervisor for the department. She is kept busy doing grading, office work, and spending a great amount of her time in the lab overseeing LOOKING GOOD-College Vice-President Sid Regnier i a regular patron of the cosmotology school.

In the lab the students have a variety of supervision that can intervene at any time. Fifty per- cent of a student ' s grade comes from his or her performance in the lab. Mauzey says a lot of the students ' lear- ning, from watching her demonstrate and then doing the task themselves. Students also spend time working on slip-ons, man- nequin heads, which they style, color an( perm. They are graded on the work they di on the slip-ons. If, for any reason, patrons are nc satisfied with the services received, n charge is made. Regnier has a very positive attitude about the Cosomotology depart merit. „ , „ . if Well, it s a good program. really encourage all our student and staff to go over there.

Tiger Tube Week Win or lose, we ' ll have fun -Jeff Turner 7 « ' 7iy i ' pti tcU What can you do with a six-foot diameter rubber donut? You can ' t eat it, unless you hap- pen to be a goat. You can ' t dunk it in a cup of milk, unless you drink out of a tank. But, if you are a Cowley County .Community College student you could have rolled, pushed and sat on it throughout Tiger Tube Week. Twenty-four students on six teams competed in three nights of events. Members of Janine Wells ' team were Beth Nilles, Tammy Wyant, Rob Weaver, Brian Ed- wards, and Robert Burton. Steve Bratcher ' s team consisted of Ron- nie Gaither, Jeff Turner, Pat Bet- zen, Cathy Betzen, and Brenda Hadden. Julie Unruh ' s teammates were Susan Oliphant, Kim Marx, Alan Daniel, Troy Juden, and John Buckle. Members of Julie Reeds ' s team were Travis Masterson, Mary Dewell, Tracy Masterson, Nick Ballarini, and Cat Craig. The teams competed in the Tiger Tube Roll Monday evening. Brat- cher ' s team broke the College record for the longest roll, to take first place in that event. In spite of their win, there were some tense moments for the team members. When it (the tube) started boun- cing, I thought for sure that it was a gonner, said Turner, a Bratcher team member. Following the roll event, the traditional SGA Watermelon Feed and seed-spitting contest was held at Wilson Park. Relays dominated the events on Wednesday night. The relays in- cluded the Milk Jug race, a Blind Man ' s race, and Tiger Tube rolling. Giving directions while seated in a wheelbarrow to a blindfolded pilot, and bowling with an inner tube made the events even more challenging. Catching sprays of water blasted by a fire hose into milk jugs proved to be more a test of wit than skill. I just stood behind the line of people, and caught the drips run- ning off of their shorts, said Laura Moore freshman alternate on the Reed team. Drawing the crowds on the last night of Tiger Tube Week was the River Race. Pushing and pulling the inner tubes down the Arkansas River, tied the score between the Unruh and Bratcher teams. Organizer of the week, Bob Juden, intramurals director, decided to break the tie with an arm wrestling contest. Somebody had mentioned it earlier that day in case of a tie, said Juden. The additional competition was almost more than the team could handle. The two male contestants were Troy Juden of the Unruh team and Gaither of the Bratcher team. Race. My legs hurt, my arms hurt, basically, I ached all over, Gaither said. After Juden won the male arm wrestling, it was up to the females to decide a victory, or another tie. With pressure mounting, Pat Bet- zen, of the Bratcher team, and Marx o f the Unruh team were chosen. Because they had little arm wrestling experience, female con- testants had mixed emotions con- cerning the additinal competiton. I was embarrassed that they picked me, remembered Marx. Julie could have done it as well as I could. Winning the arm wrestling mat- ches, Marx and Juden placed the Unruh team in first place. Due to the nice turnout this year, Tiger Tubes will be held again next year, Bob Juden said. It ' s a fun way to get acquainted with each other at the beginning of the year. Concluding that you can ' t eat a six-foot diameter rubber donut, the teams, spectators, and two stray dogs enjoyed chowing down at the wiener roast which followed the River Race. In a way the wiener roast became an event all by itself by having to dodge soap bubbles blown by Reed and Moore. About 75 people were at the wiener roast, Juden said. It was a great way to wrap up the week. I wore myself out on the River by Denise Woods Beauty with brawn Kim Marx and Pat Betzen battle it out in a tie-breaking arm wrestling mat- ch. The tie was between the Bratchsr team and the Unruh team, who won. (Photo by Wayne Gottttlne) r dm h lam i 7!» 3K. w ' y •»». K 0 Tjl m ' s vVj A jm ■ ■ ' ' Sfc
