College celebrates 65th year with ' one to grow on ' theme At 65, Cowley County Com- munity College and Area Vocational-Technical School is doing anything but retiring. As a matter of fact, when educational opportunities are considered this fall, more than 2,000 students will agree that an education at Cowley will give them an edge... one they can grow on. CCCC-AVTS is a far cry from the institution that was foun- ded in August of 1922. By Sep- tember 11 of that year, 58 students-40 women and 18 men-enrolled for classes that were held in four rooms of the newly completed high school building. Today, the campus boasts a 19-acre campus, 10 buildings and a new dormitory ?hat should be ready for oc- cupancy before the end of the institution ' s 65th anniversary year. The student body has changed considerably, too. Back in 1922, the students were principally recent high school graduates. Today, the fastest growing student age group is between 30-39 years of age. There are still plenty of recent high school graduates around. As a mat- ter of fact there were more 18- 20 year olds on campus last semester than any other age group but the 30-39 year old category appears to be cat- ching up. That change in our student body means that the College is offering updating of job skills and retraining to people already on the job, as well as initial skills training and tran- sfer programs for the traditional student. It means that at 65 the College is ser- ving its community better than ever. The College, like the coun- try, has been through some rough times. During the war years the enrollment dropped markedly. In 1944 the class consisted of 18 women, who wore white caps and gowns as they might have done in an al girls school. The class of 194J had only nine graduates. Little did they know that three generations later the graduating classes woulc number over 200. The College has learned tc adapt to the rough times, too During the war years when the full time student population decreased, night classes were started to ac- comodate the part-time students with jobs. Today thei night classes, through thei Continuing Education program, account for about 50 percent of the College ' s enrollment head count. Currently, the College recognizes the problems of the economy and the needs of the community. That ' s why grants and scholarships have been designed especially for the displaced worker and those in farm related oc- cupations. ! 2000 1500 1000 a — E 500 Cowley County Community College even year enrollment since inception First year continuing ed students in total Cumulative CCCC graduates - CM CO 4 Celebration PULSE Survival Guide

Who ya gonna call? by David Mdntire It ' s a cool October morning. As you rush down the dorm step, you trip on your size 10s and get to know the stairs and landing up close and per- sonal. While assessing the damage to your frame and that stunning ensemble you jumped into not minutes before, you notice your left ankle has swollen to the size of a large, very large, grapefruit and is the color of Smurfette ' s nose. As a popular movie of a few years back asked, Whatcha gonna do? If you ' re not a native of Arkansas City, this could be a sticky situation. A survival list of numbers is included here to help you out. First is 911. This one numer will get the police, fire depart- ment, or ambulance in just three digits. It ' s for emergency situations only so calling 911 to complain about that parking ticket you got last December wouldn ' t be advised. There are numbers for that, too. Those numbers, 442-3344 for the police department, 442- 2324 for the Fire Department, and 442-1410 for an ambulance are manned 24 hours a day, and if the dispatcher can ' t an- swer your question, they can connect you to someone who can help. If you need medical attention but the situation isn ' t pressing enough to call on 911, one of the places to go would be Arkansas City Memorial Hospital which is located at 1st Street and Birch Avenue. The phone number is 442-2500, and the emergency exit is located on the south side of the building. If what you have is the snif- fles or a dull ache or lumbago, any of a number of physicians will ' cure ' you in exchange for some of your (or mom and (Continued on page 14) Us EASY ENROLLMENT Susan Rush-Johnston enrolls three for either day or night classes at largest enrollments the College has freshmen college students.
