In choosing Cowley as the starting place for your college career you have given yourself the opportunity to further your education in a very personalized way. While developing the fundamentals of your education you will encounter teachers who are truly interested in you, the student Most often those teachers will greet you by name in and out of school. It is a nice feeling to know someone cares about you, especially if you are far from home. Throughout the year there are memorable events that will make your first years in college special. Listed below is a small portion of my personal favorites. They ought to be placed on a calendar of the not to be missed events held throughout the year. Tiger Tube Week One of the funniest events to be held all year. This event is a great way to get acquainted with other students because it occurs during the first week of school. Tiger Tube is a round of hilarious games and contests all involving gigantic innertubes. The Tiger Tube Finale incorporates a river race and cook-out on the banks of the Arkansas River. SGA Halloween Dance There is no excuse for missing this dance. Everyone dresses up so start planning your costumes early. The best place to shop for that special outfit is the Salvation Army. Cowley ' s Family Day Oct. 10 marks one of the rare times when you are encouraged to bring your entire family to school for special events and entertainment. This is the perfect opportunity to see you teachers performing in the talent show. Arkalalah For those of you from out of town this is Ark City ' s special day. There is Queen Alalah, who is always a Cowley sophomore, an incredible three-hour parade down Main Street, an even better kiddie parade, pancake breakfasts, carnivals, and dances. Christmas Break A month off before second semester begins, need I say more? Homecoming Valentine Dance What a chance to see some of your friends dressed in something other than sweats. The decorations are incredible. Tigerama .One of the last events of the year. A celebration that combines a picnic dinner, games, and a dance for that last fling of the year. Choose your teams wisely for the games, the competition is stiff, and the games are outrageous. Honors Banquet Held the last week of classes, the Honors and Awards Banquet is an opportunity for the College and its instructors to give recognition to students for their outstanding performances during the year. You will be amazed at how the time flies and suddenly it is May and time to take your finals. The best advice I can give any student, is to become involved in events on campus. There are enough clubs, committees, staffs, and entertainment to provide something for everyone. This is a great way to meet new friends and develop your self esteem. The second-best advice I can give is to budget your time wisely. School is the main attraction here at Cowley, so do not spread yourself too thin. Pick a few things that you are truly interested in and do your best. Last of all, I urge you to listen. At times there are so many things going on at once that it is hard to keep up with it all. College is about so many things. Cowley is about a little more. by Julie Reed ON THE COVER-Tammy Wyant makes a splash at Tiger Tube week last year.

On behalf of the Trustees, Administrators, Faculty, and Staff, I welcome you to the 1987-1988 academic year at Cowley County Community College. You are the reason we exist. We care about you and are delighted that you are here. If we can help you in any way, please let us know. I encourage you to be involved in Cowley County Community College. You become involved by challenging your instructors in class, participating in activities and supporting all college functions. Please make this one of the most exciting years ever at CCCC. See you on campus! ! W yrnad SGA WELCOME Hi everybody, As Student Government Association President I would like to welcome you to Cowley County Community College. Our main objective this year is to link faculty and students in better communication while increasing participation in all college events. You can help us achieve that goal by attending our first meeting on September 24, 1987. With your input and support we can make this a really exciting year at Cowley. We have many exciting things planned for the 1987-88 school year. To kick it off right, the Student Government Association is sponsoring a Street Dance on August 24 at 8:30 p.m. following the Hay Ride and Cook-Out. The Street Dance will be a good opportunity to get acquainted and have a great time! See you at the dance, SGA President Pulse 3 DORMITORY LIFE Sharing more than just toothpaste For those who have never lived with anyone other than Dad, Mom, Sis, and Spot, campus living invites culture shock into once carefree lifestyles. Necessary survival tips help maintain stability in the lives of dorm residents. Room assignments With the exception of sophomores and those who have inside connections, most residents will be assigned a room and a roommate. The dorm managers try their best to match up people, but unfortun- ately none of them have ESP. It is best to just wait and see if roommates will get along. There are three classifications of roommates-immaculate, moderate, and slob. The luckiest are those who are matched with others like themselves. Any combination of moderate and other usually works also. Immaculate and slob are totally incompatible. This match has grounds for re-assignment. Keep in mind, too, that each room must share a bath. Furniture Each room has two wardrobes, two desks, two chairs, and two beds. The beds are super slim twins that must have a plastic cover kept on at all times. The fitted sheets are difficult to fit. The beds can convert into bunk beds if desired, leaving more room space. With a little ingenuity, residents can arrange their furniture pleasingly and yet space conscious. Mounting a bed on two desks is a popular alternative to bunk beds. Even placing a bed on two wardrobes can work, but this does not leave much sleeping space. One intriguing furniture arrangement was attempted last year by Nick Ballarini and Tom Ahrensmeyer. They built a maze out of their furniture. Unfortunately, Nick will not be returning this fall because he was lost in his room. Room decor Traditionally, posters and pictures adorn the cold barriers of each room. Dorm manager Dennis Mclntire suggests anyting within taste for interior design. Residents should be creative by using plants, milk crates, other furniture, paintings or orginal works of art. For those on a tight budget, shopping at a thrift store, lik e the Salvation Army, or a garage sale can achieve the desired look. Appliances School policy prohibits the use of microwave ovens, hot plates, or any other cooking device in the rooms. Refrigerators can be rented foi a small fee from the dorm managers. Televisions and VCRs are a necessity for the couch potato Each dorm has a television and beginning this year, cable television hook ups are in each room and residents can check out VCRs. Having a personal phone in i room can guarantee the right tc use it anytime. Some may feel it necessary to bring along the message record for those just in case opportunities. Entertainment One of the best features of living in the dorms is being in the center of the action. School activities are nearby as are friends and classes. Of course, televisions are located in each dormitory foil loafing enjoyment. Trivial Pursuit and pokei tournaments prove to be exciting and meeting new people is a good way to occupy time. by Andria Drognoski GIFT SHOP CRAFT SUPPLIES O CANDLES O CRYSTAL JEWELRY O BRIDAL REGISTRATION TOLE PAINTING CLASSES SUE HUFFMAN (316)442-0229 314 SOUTH SUMMIT ARKANSAS CITY.

Probably the first thing you ill be wondering, unless you ive been on one of Cowley ' s impus tours is, Where is the undry room? The laundry room is located i the basement of Nelson tudent Center, just go straight Dwn the steps off the main ibby and the laundry room is ie first door to your right Okay, so now you know how  get there, but what next? Get yourself a good supply of uarters. To wash a load of othes is 50 cents comparable the $1 charge at the local lundromats. To dry a load is a tere quarter, with the prices of ie laundromats being the same. ut, be prepared to dry your ;ans a couple of times unless ou don ' t mind draping them all :ross your room to let the jams and cuffs finish drying. Knowing how to sort your ' ash is a necessary first step, kvoid the sneaks. That is when ou put a red T-shirt in with fhite underwear and the red dye rom the shirt sneaks all over our new underwear. Second, wear a lot of sweats, tiey just about all wash well Dgether. And third, plan to do omework in the laundry room hile you are washing to avoid aundry hopping- when someone tuts their clothes in the dryer nd lets your clothes remain opping wet while they borrow your quarter. Being in the laundry room lso helps prevent your clothes rom walking off. This occurance has actually happened a couple of times. Can you believe it?!! Isn ' t giowing up and be- coming independent just loads of fun? For a number of freshmen, taking the laundry home to Mom is a viable alternative, especially when the trip means home-cooked food and the possibilty of a little extra cash flow. by Laura Moore and Brian Reed LOADED DOWN-Cowley sophomore Ralph Keener finds that a laundry basket can do double duty in aiding the effort to move into and out of the dormitory. Keener was one o f 100 students who used the laundry facilities on the lower level of the Nelson Dormitory. (Photo by Wayne Gottstine) Pulse POSITIVE ATTITUDES : Bob Juden For first time freshmen getting started on the right foot is a top priority. Student Life Director Bob Juden suggests getting involved in school. My advice to those people is to get active. That ' s the best way to meet people, he said. Because Cowley has activities designed for this purpose, new students will find much pressure taken off them. Through the nearly 20 clubs or organizations, students can interact with each other. The College presents two plays each year for those interested in being active on stage or in the audience. Intramural sports offer an opportunity for every student to compete and inter-collegiate sports add considerable action to the year. Jackie Wilson For the first time since the Nelson Student Center opened in 1984, there will be separate dorms for men and women at Cowley County Community College. Former Cowley graduate, and women ' s dorm manager, Jackie Wilson said, I think it ' s really ME TOO 91 CHILDREN ' S WEAR Clothing • Toys • Accessories Free Gill Wrapping Sizes: New Born- 14 Years Dorothy Burkhart; Owner | 4428373 1 32 116 S. Summit Arkansas ity 6 Survival guide ' 87 Juden ' s main goal this year is to help students get involved in school activities. Dorm residents cdan have a say in how things are run by participating in the Student Life Council and the Food Committee. These committees meet on a regular basis to discuss student concerns about life on campus and to organize programs and activities designed to help students know each other and adjust to life at Cowley. Juden has high expectations •for this year. I ' m just looking for a good year. by Andria Drognoski and Layne Moore fanatastic that we are putting all the girls in one dorm this year. I love it. It ' s tough your first year because it ' s difficult for 80 girls to come and live under the same roof, said Wilson. In order to make the transition easier for the girls, Wilson plans to stress unity and involvement, while providing a family-like environment. I ' m going to let them know that I care a lot for them, said Wilson. If they have any problems I ' m always here for them; my door is alway open. Wilson, who remains true to her school, has some advice for all the new students. You know, Wilson said smiling, Cowley is the place tobe! U T V D A by Julie Reed Student Life Staff members in upbeat mood for new year Dennis Mclntire Dennis Mclntire, who has been appointed resident manager of the New Dormitory should have his hands full the next two semsters. Dave Burroughs One of the new faces you may see around campus this year will be head baseball coach, Dave Burroughs. Burroughs, who will also oversee the intramurals program, accepted his position at Cowley for several reasons. I decided to come to Cowley for the opportunity it offered me, Burroughs said. College While most students will be getting settled in their classes. Mclntire will be juggling 40 student residents, approximately 24 baseball players and a new bride. Mclntire is no stranger to life in the dormitory. I just got out of a dorm situation myself so I know more or less what is going on, said Mclntire. I ' ve been around the students six years now in classes and while coaching so I think I can anticipate some of the students ' needs. The baseball season is a bright spot to Mclntire who says they are cautiously optimistic. We ' re starting to get excited about the season. We think we might have enough pitching and that is always the key to the season, he said. According to Mclntire the key to success at Cowley is involvement Get involved with something, Mclntire advised. I attended Cowley back in ' 82 and ' 83. In my first semester all I did was go to class and go home. I didn ' t know anybody and I even thought about quitting school. The second semester I played baseball and got involved that way, and I ' ve been here ever since. by Julie Reed coaching is one of the things I have always wanted to do. Burroughs also feels Cowley provides a better chance for a one-on-one relationship with the students. There are a lot of benefits to attending Cowley, said Buroughs. It ' s more personal. You don ' t get lost like you would at a larger university. Although Burroughs has some new events planned for the intramurals program it is obvious that baseball is his first love. Baseball is it, Burroughs exclaimed. We ' ll have a chance with a little hard work. Hard work is apparently an understatement We ' re going to put the players through the Bataan Death March for the first three or four weeks, Burroughs said. We ought to have a pretty decent team.

S. Scott Auditorium as the Lady Tigers open their 1987 volleyball season. From that time on, this building will be the focal point of Cowley athletic events. But Scott Auditorium will also house many other activities, such as dances, physical education classes, and special student productions. W. S. Scott Auditorium features the Tiger Booster Club Room, offices for the basketball coaches, and a fully equipped weight room. Galle-Johnson Hall The heart of CCCC is Galle-Johnson Hall. Everyone who attends Cowley visits to Galle-Johnson in order to register, consult counselors, or pay fees at the Business Office. The college president locates his office in G-J, along with the Financial Aid, Public Relations, and Atheletic Directors ' offices. However, most students know they should show up for class, and that makes Galle-Johnson Hall the place to be. The variety of classes meeting in this building ranges from Art Appreciation to Biology and Psychology. The instructors at CCCC keep regular hours in their office areas located throughout Galle-Johnson Hall, and the other campus buildings. Business Technology If the business courses are the reason you are at Cowley, then you will spend much of your time in the Business-Tech building. The accounting classes meet in Business Tech, along with the computer and office education classes. Galle-Johnson Hall is connected to the Business Tech building by the student lounge, a favorite student hangout. Nelson Student Center There is a new look this year at Nelson Student Center. The College Bookstore has moved from its previous basement location to a new, bigger facility on the main floor. The game room has also moved, and it is now in the former site of the dining hall. This has allowed more space for games and conversation areas. The new dining hall boasts a scenic view of part of the Cowley campus. A major part of Nelson Student Center is the dormitory. Housing is available for 80 students, and laundry facilities are located on the lower level of Nelson. Ireland Hall The Police Science and Cosmetology departments make their homes in Ireland Hall. Although Ireland Hall is one of the older buildings on campus, it is on the National Register of Historic Places, and its architecture is distinctive and unique to the Cowley campus. New Dormitory How new is the new dormitory? Well, if you have a good sense of smell, you might be able to detect a whiff of paint in the air. The New Dormitory opens its doors for the first time this fall, and many of the Cowley students are eager to be the first to occupy this facility. Housing is provided for 40 students in this building. The residents of the New Dorm have a television room on each of the second and third floors, and the resident manager has an apartment located on the ground level floor. The New Dormitory increases on-campus housing to over 120 ' student residents. by Mark Patrick Pulse QUARTERS A MAINSTAY OF COLLEGE LIFE They always stick close to- gether, usually two or three of them in a group. One will offer you a cold beverage to quench your thirst; one will display its wide selection of prepackaged , sugar- sweetened yummies for you to munch on; and the third will promise you an insulated cup full of hot chocolate or coffee. All they ask in return are quarters. This is the mainstay of their diet. As long as you put enough quarters in their thin, slotlike mouths, vending machines will provide you enough high-calorie, quick-energy snacks to get you through your next class. Knowing where to find the vending machines, and the quarters to feed them, can make getting that snack a lot easier. Vending machines are located in the Commons Area of the Business Technology Building, the recreation room of Nelson Student Center, on the lower level of Ireland Hall, in the Industrial Technology student lounge and in the faculty lounge in Galle-Johnson Hall. Available on campus are 7-Up, RC Cola, Cherry RC Cola, grape and orange flavored Nehi, and diet drinks, powdered donuts, corn chips, tortilla chips, potato chips, chocolate bars, packages of gum and bite-sized candies. There are also hot chocolate, without the whipped cream, and coffee with all the accessories. Aside from the food varie ty vending machines, there are a number of other places students can drop quarters into machines. Cowley students literally go through hundreds of dollars daily in quarters for vending machines. Most students use the pool tables, pinball machines, pop machines or pay phones, in addition to the trips to the washing machines and dryers in the dorms or the laundromat off campus. Whether you like it or ' not, you can ' t avoid being affected by vending machines and their quarter requirements. Supplying students with the coins to operate the machines has become a concern for a number of people on campus. I always keep a cup of coins in my room, said Jackie Wilson, dorm supervisor. The kids usually can get them there. ' Dennis Mclntire, supervisor of the new dormitory, can als be contacted in case of a quarte shortage. Bob Juden, director student life, and Ruene Gagi bookstore manager, can als help students make loose chang out of their bills. The refreshment window i the Nelson Student Cente allows student to purchase so drinks, hamburgers, and th infamous quarters. If it ' s more convenient, a vis to the Business Office or th Admissions Office for chang can be made as long as thei supply holds out. They sa Mondays, Wednesdays an Fridays are the busiest days fo students seeking change. If all else fails, the best plac to get quarters, is at one of thi local banks just a block or si from campus. by Michael Carmody UJara Different We ' re Docis at Home National Bank.

She says the tookstore will carry caps, ackets, t-shirts, sweatshirts, unning shorts, and even children ' s clothes. It ' s 110 percent improvement ind it ' s going to be a great Measure working here, Gage aid. Much of that improvement is n the size and location of the lew store. Instead of being buried underground on the lower level of the Nelson Dorm, the store occupies prime space on the first floor of the Nelson Student Center. Gage isn ' t the only one who sees the move as a positive change. The store is a great improvement over the old one, said Arlene Walker, clerk. There isn ' t the same feeling of claustrophobia and instead of hearing the toilets flush, there ' s piped-in Muzak. Being able to see light outside is so much nicer.

KANSAS 67005-0754 Pulse 11 MEDICAL TIPS Is there a doctor in the house? Students who are new to college life may find it hard to adjust. • This applies more to those living in the dormitories, and especially those from out of town, than to most other new students. Almost everyone who moves out of their home into an institutional environment such as that provided by a dormitory gets homesick. But what happens if an illness, more serious than homesickness, sets in? The common cold is easy enough to deal with. Time and patience will cure it. Flu? That ' s a little harder to handle. But the only thing you can do for it is take over-the-counter medications and relax. The 24-hour bug, the blahs, and other minor health glitches can be dealt with in a similar manner. But if you fall down the stairs and suddenly feel a sharp pain in your side, then what? I ' d be responsible to take them to the hospital, said Dennis Mclntire, supervisor of the new dormitory. But the pain of paying the emergency room bill could be greater than that of a cracked rib. It costs $67 just to see the emergency room doctor, and if treatment is necessary additional charges will be added to your bill. If it ' s not a bona fide emergency, visiting the Ark City Clinic on Radio Lane is probably a better solution. An office call there only runs about $25. If you have an appointment to see a doctor but can ' t find a way to get there, you have little to worry about. When someone has a doctor ' s appointment, we usually get them there, said Jackie Wilson, Nelson Dorm supervision According to Bob Juden, director of student life, In case of an accident, we do one of two things: find a ride or call an ambulance. If prescription drugs are needed there are several places in Ark City to get them. Within walking distance of the campus are three pharmacies, all located in the 200 South block of Summit Street: Petersen ' s Medicine Chest, Graves Self-Service Drug, and Taylor Drug. There are also pharmacies in Dillon ' s and Wal-Mart. If a visit to the doctor is in order, they are listed under Physicians and Surgeons in the Yellow Pages of the phone book. Ark City Memorial Hospital ' s emergency room phone number is 442-2500, and the number for the Ark City Clinic is 442-2100. And remember to dial 9 1 1 for serious accidents. by Michael Carmody 1 17 SOUTH SUMMIT STREET Arkansas City, Kansas 67005 (316)442-2410 Watch and CtocfCRepair Union State Bank Three convenient locations to serve you!!

On top of that you have not been able to check out material in the library because you do not have your student I.D. card. Is there a way to straighten out your mounting academic woes? One way to avoid any confusion about fees, drop deadlines, and financial aid coverage is to check your student catalog for information regarding these subjects. A summary of the t information follows. Students may add or drop classes without penalty during the first five days of school. Students who drop courses after the fifth day of classes will be required to pay 50 percent of the fees for any dropped course. All fees are due between Aug. 25 and Aug. 31, 1987. Any student who has not paid their fees in full by Sept. 23, will automatically be dropped from classes. In order for a student to be reinstated to his her classes all outstanding fees must be paid and signatures from all instructors must be turned over to the Registrar ' s Office. Oustanding fees also acme a late charge of $10 beginning Sept. 1. An additional fee of $5 will be added to all late fees for each month thereafter until the amount has been paid. If you have a problem paying fees on or before the due date, you should speak to Joycelyn Goff in the Business Office. If you have any questions I ' ll be glad to listen and try to help the student out the best I can. said Goff, Above all, let us know if you have a problem. According to Goff, grants-in-aid can also cause confusion. Financial aid has also caused some confusion. said Goff Students on scholarship often forget that there is a $5 per credit hour fee that must be paid by the student. Once your fees have been paid in full, you will need to obtain an identification card. The identification card will allow ' you free admission to all home games, plays, and concerts •along with discounts at some of the local merchants. Your identification card will also allow you to check out materials at the Renn Memorial Library. by Julie Reed andDenise Woods INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW Q: Where is the the Student I.D. Camera located? A: The I.D. Camera will be located in the Little Theater until the 20th day of clases. If the photographer is not available, ask for assistance in the Public Relations office. (Please note: All fees must be paid in full before you can receive your Student I.D. card.) Q: How do you purchase a meal ticket if you do not live in the dormitory?

Editorial Note Dear Readers, When you ' re talking about education, there are many different things to consider. The classroom is the most important part of any college education, but there are outside influences that can also affect you while you are in school. Many times the momentum of those influences causes me to forget some of the most important reasons for attending college. During the interview sessions I had with some of the faculty and staff featured in the Personalized Education story on page 4, 1 was reminded of several things. First of all, Cowley is unique in that it provides you with a very personalized type of education. Secondly, most of the faculty and staff are more than willing to listen, and they are very aware of the students around them. What I have found at Cowley is that most of the time the faculty and staff are quick to pull me aside to find out what the problem is if I seem to floundering. This type of one-on-one relationship is something that I have never experienced in the course of my education. It has helped me to keep my head on straight when things have really gotten crazy s during the semester. College is also a good place to learn to budget your time. You should learn to make decisions that will affect your education and most likely the rest of your life. But it also a good place to learn about yourself . More than anything else, this college and its teachers have tried to teach me to know my limits and be responsible about what I hope to achieve in anything I undertake. I strongly encourage all the students to take advantage of what the faculty and staff have to offer you regarding instruction and advice. Dr. McAtee ' s philosophy of education is that teachers should impart information, but they should put feeling behind their teaching too. This happens at Cowley, but all to often the students fail to appreciate the instructors ' efforts. In the Personalized Education article, Linda Hargrove mentions that the best friends you make at Cowley may not be people your own age, they may be faculty or staff members or somebody you can learn a great deal from if you give them the chance to teach you. This is especially true for the new students. The faculty and staff can be more than teachers. They can be your friends. - ' ?

The game raised money to pay electric and heating bills for senior citizens during winter months. (Photo by Wayne Gottstine) Style is important to Dr. Patrick . McAtee, College president. The style McAtee is most concen with is not that of his clothes or his cai even his house. Cowley ' s new presiden proud of his own special style management. You ' ve got to be an effective mana if you ' re going to get a position sucli this, McAtee said. Management something that develops over the ye with experience. McAtee identifies different management styles which seen in the work force. There are those managers who xti want a great deal of control, he sa They want to control everything th; being done or said. They have a strong on the organization. McAtee ' s style of management considerably different. The opposite of that (style of m agement) is someone who delega responsibility, he said. That ' s wha like to do. I like to deleg; responsibility. McAtee finds there is a secret to | management success. You have to surround yourself w people who are good, he said. You ne to hire people who you really feel li ' mesh ' with your philosophy and style management. Those individuals that Cowley ' s n president is looking for must fit wit! this framework. I want people who are ' self-starte and who will take their own initiative get things done, he said. They will : goals for themselves and take pride what they do. McAtee admits that the hardest part fulfilling his goal is finding just the rig people he can work with. That ' s probably the most difficult p; of the job-to find those good people. Th( are a lot of people for jobs, but there £ very few good people for jobs, he said. McAtee says there will always be a ji for those few good people in the wo force. There will always be room f someone who is really good. It starts wi somebody who is very positive about lil They have a positive outlook, McAt Fall ' 87 They are not negative and do not plain. They are not always looking for s or excuses. McAtee has a name for people like I call them ' dirt-getters ' because they le ground running. That ' s the kind of le I like, he said. They feel they can mplish anything. They can set goals want, and attain them, look for people who have those quali- ibove people who have said they have nany years of experience, he said. If cher has taught for 15 years and has dead from the neck up, then he ' s not 2, to do me a lot of good. cAtee figures that type of instructor t do the students much good either. f this teacher ' s information passes lgh his notes and into the notes of the :nts without passing through the mind ther, then I don ' t care is he has had 20 years of experience, he ' s not doing me any good, he said. McAtee feels an obligation to his employees. Once you get these people, then you have an obligation to articulate the vision of where you want to go, he said. We need to come to grips with articulating what we ' re all about and where we should go. Deciding where to go is a decision he ' ll make by himself. McAtee says a good manager will include others in the decision-making process. A good manager gets input from the organization but, ultimately, he has to decide what we are going to do, he said. Once you articulate the vision, you hold people accountable. You measure whether we ' ve got that done. McAtee sees a good manager as a sup- port giver. I ' ll give them all the support they need to get the job done. I won ' t just give them a bunch of jobs to do and then not support them as far as getting it done. McAtee says a college president has an obligation to keep up with what is going on in the classroom. I think a president needs to know what is happening instructionally and about the quality of instructors he has. He needs to find out what their strengths are, too. McAtee does not want teachers to think that he is on a seek-and-destroy mission. I think we have an obligation to try to encourage and help them get whatever training they feel would help them-whether it be teaching techniques or particular subject matter. We have an obligation to get them that. BY KATHY GANN f The most important thing is when they get out and seek a job and get a job. That is when their real education takes place any way. 9 9 Dr. McAtee ' s philosophy of :ducation is just as important o him as his style of nanagement. Access to educational pportunity is a big part of ny philosophy, he said. I think we should do iverything possible to mcourage the masses to btain as much education as hey possibly can. McAtee says the voca- ional courses have been reated unjustly by some )eople. I think all education is valuable and should be treated is valuable. It should count ©wards something and should lpply toward something, he aid. Some people think that if i student is participating in something vocational or termed ' terminal ' (as opposed to transfer), that somehow it is something less than the transfer education. McAtee wants these stu- dents to stay in the College program. We should do everything we can to keep students in the process, he said. The most important thing is when they get out and seek a job and get a job. That is when their real education takes place anyway. McAtee identifies a prob- lem many students meet when they try to transfer their hours to some four-year colleges 6 r universities. I don ' t like the Ivory- towered philosophy of edu- cation that all the masses must come to the Mecca to take education, so that it can be blessed by the holy instructors, he said. According to McAtee, alternative teaching methods and techniques should be considered I think education can be in an office building, an industry, or a recreation center. It doesn ' t have to be on the holy land for it to be called education, he said. McAtee believes students can learn from each other. I don ' t think all the knowledge of the world is in the head of the teacher, he said. Students bring all kinds of experiences to the class- room. He thinks teachers should seek the untapped sources of their students. They should be able to explore their ideas, share those ideas, and have somebody respond to those ideas, he said. They don ' t want to just be filled up with information. McAtee thinks that teach- ers should be considerate of their students. Students like some humor and some enthusiasm so they will feel important, he said. McAtee says instructors are obligated to their students. A classroom should be exciting. If a teacher can ' t make his students feel the hour they are spending with him is the most exciting time in their lives, then they have no business being there, concluded McAtee. BY KATHY GANN Pulse Special people make PERSONALIZED EDUCATO a Cowley tradition At first glance, attending Cowley is no big deal, but those who have been around awhile have no difficulty citing reasons why Cowley is a good deal. Linda Hargrove, director of admissions, who graduated from Cowley in 1970, feels she made the best the decision when she chose Cowley. It was a great decision. I mean, I hated it. I hated the idea of having to come to school here, because I didn ' t want to. I came to Cowley because my Dad made me, said Hargrove. But it took me about two weeks to really.... well, I loved this school from the very beginning. Hargrove is quick to explain why the first years of college can be the key to a successful eduaction for many students. It (attending Cowley) is your first experience away from home and you ' re on your own, said Hargrove. People here at Cowley were friendly so it was a great beginning for me and Cowley kind of went to my heart after two years here. Linda Hargrove Michael Watters Mike Watters, department chairman of the natural and social sciences department, agrees with Hargrove about the importance of attending a community college for the first two years. I think students, especially in the area, ought to come to a community college because they can be an active part of the learning process whereas if they go to a larger school they ' re caught up in it rather than becoming a part of it, said Watters. Becoming a part of the educational process often means students need to feel like more than a number. Watters says a community college can offer that. I find they get more individual attention because of the small class size and the instructors are able to relate with them personally about their needs probably better than they would at the four-year schools, Watters added. Sharon Hill Sharon Hill, speech insh tor agrees with Waters out the importance of st skills in the learning proces A lot of people ar prepared to handle a four-; university and the out! influences that affect y studying. Here they rea right off that they have study, said Hill. Women ' s volleyball co Debbie Davis, who also i Cowley graduate, feels that of the most important thinj student needs to learn w attending Cowley responsibility. Debbie Davis They need to learn a lo responsibility. Learning I to manage their time is 4 F a I 1 ' 87 n thing because if they ' t, then they get so bogged -n and college isn ' t fun, Davis. College is some le best years of your life. lor new student it may be hard to conceive the jrence between a two-year a four-year college. Doug iter, art instructor at vley, found that the -year university was too 3rsonal. Doug Hunter m a good example, because as recruited to a four-year ersity and I found myself a fiber instead of an ividual, Hunter said, wley is the opposite, you come to Cowley and in e to four days you ' re settled The ratio is smaller, and pie are more friendly luse they know there aren ' t many people on campus, they ' re going to be idly. unter also feels the faculty staff here play a big part in cing the students feel fortable. They ' ll come up and ask • you are, and you won ' t see in a big school. The hers are very polite and r ' re responsive to what is ig on with you as an vidual, said Hunter, largrove also believes the ilty and staff here can be e than just teachers to the students here. The best friends you make may not be people your own age, they may be faculty members or staff members or somebody you can learn a great deal from if you give them the chance to teach you some things, said Hargrove. The best advice Hunter can give to new and old students alike is to become involved. Get involved constantly and don ' t be bashful, said Hunter. Go to the activities and try them out, do something you have never done before. Dennis Mclntire, new dorm nanager, agrees with Hun- ter on the importance of involvement at school. Dennis Mclntire It ' s easy to get involved here (at Cowley) because you ' re able to get to know everybody. Sure there are more activities at a four-year school, but you ' ll be able to do almost all the activities at Cowley. You wouldn ' t be able to do that at a four-year school. You wouldn ' t be able to keep your grades up, said Mclntire. Cowley graduate and secre- tary to the president Libby Palmer advises that the best way to meet people at Cowley is to take advantage of the many clubs and organizations on campus. Get involved here,you don ' t have to be involved in all the Libby Palmer organizations, but even one helps, said Palmer. Even for the older students, I think the TNT program is excellent and VICA has a good program for their students too. Hunter has discovered that the students are not the only ones to benefit from the time they spend at Cowley. The kids here are great. After a while they become one big happy family, they take care of each other. I get older, but it makes me feel young to be a round them, said Hunter. TTVl Hargrove, who graduated 1 -i from Cowley in 1967, is also young at heart. In fact he jokes that he was 13 years old when he graduated from Cowley. Hargrove returned to Cowley ' s campus in 1983 like several former Cowley graduates, and took a position in the Financial aid office. I had no hesitation about returning to the Cowley campus. In fact, I had wanted to return for a number of years and it was just a question of finding the position I was qualified to fill, said Hargrove. Hargrove, whose wife Linda also works at the college, feels comfortable about their working arrangement. It ' s great. You know, I can ' t recall when there ' s ever been really any kind of conflict, said Hargrove. We ' re used to being around each other, and we go recruiting together. I haven ' t seen any problem. The best advice Hargrove can give any student about college, concerns the academic impor- tance of the college years. First of all, I would like to say, take the classes seriously. I know during my college years I didn ' t take the studying as seriously as I should have and later on when I went looking for a job it really affected me, said Hargrove. Ed Hargrove When you start looking for a job, your past grades and performance in college are looked at and it ' s important. But you don ' t think about it at the time, but 10 years down the road you ' ll see where you could have done better. Another thing is to take advantage of the activities and opportunities to get involved and be a part of the college and it will be so much more meaningful to you. BY JULIE REED Pulse ANYTHING GOES Competition between families and students proved to be a lifesaver when inclement weather threatened to put a damper on Family Day activities If you have ever tried to pass a lifesaver on a toothpick, then you know part of the challenge of the Anything Goes competition during Cowley Family Day. Weather was a determining factor in deciding to hold the games. An oozing game of mud volleyball was cancelled due to unseasonably cold temperatures that dropped the thermometer to near freezing during the night. This sparked the idea of having an Anything Goes competition. We really didn ' t have much choice, said Linda Puntney, director of public relations and coordinator of the day. The mud volleyball pit was ready and the Ark City Fire Department watered it down after Larry Pike Construction donated their time to dig it for us. We had the ' Anything Goes ' competition as an alternate plan but we really didn ' t want to use it. As it turned out, the weather may have been a blessing because the other games were really fun. Shaving balloons with safety razors, whistling after eating a cracker, and trying to blow a bubble were some of the relays that nearly 200 people participated in or watched. But bad weather didn ' t stop the two-mile Fun Run which saw more than 30 runners taking off in a drizzle or the 9 a.m. golf tournament where 13 players donned hats, winter coats and gloves to go nine rounds in a scramble tournament. Also on the agenda for Family Day was a cutting from the play, Jackie Lantern ' s Halloween Revenge, and performances by the CowleyCo Singers and the College Jazz Band. Volleyball was an important part of the day as the Lady Tigers won a triangular tournament against Labette, Butler County, and Hesston. Parents and foster parents of team members were recognized 6 Fall ' 87 at the 2 p.m. game. At the evening presentation of the Crabtree Convocation, Mary McNulty and her father, Patrick, were named the Cowley Family of the Year. The selection was made by a committee of students, faculty and staff members who selected the McNulty family from more than 30 applicaitons. Finalists for the title included the families of Karen Aiken, Eulette Crockett, Julie Ott, and Denise and Becky Woods.

Visualizing I scene was second nature to her. I ' m at my desk here, she said peeri again into the bright lights. That fe lovely. Yes, she said decidedly. The play Eleanor: A Celebration not foreign to Toni Gillman, veter actress. Now, in its fourth season, t play was commissioned in 1984 on r 100th birthday, as a celebration of t great contributions Eleanor Roosevi made to this country. Gillman began her theatrical career the age on four, as to help support 1 family. I didn ' t decide it (to go into acting) all, the Depression did, recalled Gillma I probably would have gone to a fi girl ' s school, been totally spoiled by i mother and father, she imagined. My father was a concert violinist, ur the Depression came. During t Depression, they were not hiring cone violinists, they were closing do 1 symphony orchestras, so my mother a father had two talented little girls w could act at age four and six. We would have lost our home exec for something called HOLC, the Hoi Owner ' s Loan Corporation. We were ch actresses who worked impulsively a because of that work we were able to p off our HOLC, said Gillman. Theatre was not the only medii Gillman and her sister, Lucy, w involved in at a young age. We went into radio. We did so opera ' s and vaudeville and then I went Broadway at the age of 10 from Chicaj Chicago was my home, recalled Gillnru I went to Broadway to do my first pi and that was with Will Geer, gramps Fall ' 87 e Waltons. Jnlike other celebreties, Gillman ' s best luence was not with a brilliant starlet closer to home. [ think probably my grandmother was a at influence. Yes, my grandmother, said. Because she started teaching me gs, poems and recitations which were iular in those days. iillman ' s interest in the performing arts not fade with the Depression. ' My interest in the theatre just never led, she said. vlarriage for Gillman also came at an yage. [ was 20 years old when I married him r first husband) and working on adway. He was an orthopedic surgeon the county hospital. We had four dren and I would take time off when y were born to spend the time with n, but then right back to the theatre embered Gillman. .gain finances were the reason Gillman irned to the theatre. ' He (her first husband) was earning .50 a month as a resident at the county pital, so it was a good thing I was an ess and could support a family, she L jillman ' s first husband died later, after ing a heart attack. She eventually larried, only to loose another spouse. I married again and acquired four more dren, step-children, she recalled. And i my husband died. At this point, I had two kids in school so I went back work again. I went back to Los eles and it was there I met Gordon ' is. avis, writer and director of Eleanor: Celebration, has had a colorful jer that includes acting, producing, cting and writing a novel. He (Gordon Davis) started the first 24 ur, all-news station in Los Angeles, I used to listen to him doing editorials I thought he was very bright, very resting. He used to also watch me on vison and then finally a mutual friend oduced us and we became very good rids, recalled Gillman. ' he bond of this good friendship later ame a basis for matrimony. We really had not intended to marry, l our friendship became so great and we found that we had similar tastes in music, theatre, philosophy, life, children so we married, Gillman said. It was this marriage that convinced Gillman of Davis ' bravery. Gordon is the bravest man in the world, said Gillman. Any women who has had two husbands die of heart attacks - why would any man want to marry her? Most actresses divorce their husbands, I love mine to death, she said. Gillman ' s marriage to Davis enlarged her family even more. When I married Gordon I aquired two more children so I have 10 children. Six of them are step-children but they don ' t treat me like that because I ' m their real mother, said Gillman. Talent is often passed down through generations, but this is not always the case. No (none of my children are involved in the theatre.) I ' ve been asked that question before and people have said ' why aren ' t any of your four children in the theatre? ' and I ' ve given them a very fast answer: no talent, she said with a laugh. And that ' s an excellent reason for not being in the theatre if you have no talent. They have talents in their own way, they have children and other jobs that they do. Many times career choices can come between a couple but not with Gillman and Davis. Our careers meld together, we are both directors and actors, (Gordon was an actor). We understand the business. Neither of us ever thought we would ever marry someone in the business, said Gillman. Most actors and actresses retire to get away from the constant moving around and establish a home where they can live the rest of their lives. This would have been the case for Gillman and Davis, who had already retired to Minnesota, but the temptation of putting on Eleanor: A Celebration was new and strong. This is a whole new theatre to us. It ' s more than just doing this play, that ' s like the cherry on top of the sundae, it ' s the opportunity to do seminars and classes with students and community projects, Gillman said. It ' s also the opportunity to give young women in college a role model that isn ' t (Please continue to page 37) ALL OF THE NEWS WHEN YOU WANT IT!

The truck one of several major projects Hunter ' s tudents are undertaking this semester, ' hoto John Bernhardt) Department Paints the town Members of the Art department, along with help from the gen- eral public, painted a cement truck in early October. Greg Hinz, Robbie Haynes, and Greg Atkinson were the art students who worked on the project. We were contacted by the concrete company to do the painting, said Doug Hunter, art instructor. They have done this before up in Nebraska and it ' s very popular up there. Clay Fisher, the new owner of Haynes Concrete, called up the College at the beginning of the semester, asking if the art department would be interested in decorating one of the cement trucks. Hunter agreed. If he had not, Fisher had planned to ask the high school and middle school art departments to do the honors. The new paint job is not only an eye-catching illustration, but also is quite an advertisement for Cowley County Community College and Area Vocational Technical School. The design depicts a raging tiger leaping over the barrel of the cement mixer. The artists were free to paint on any part of the back half of the truck, which they did during a party thrown by Hunter and the art department. The paint for the colossal task is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill enamel by any means. It is a special acid-resistant, rust-preventative paint used on this type of machine because of the acid cleaners used to remove excess cement after a job. This particular extracurricular art exercise is not unusual for Cowley ' s art students. Some of my students are working on a thing for the Kansas Lions. The Lions Club of Kansas wants a new logo for their letterheads and envelopes and such, Hunter said. Also in the works are a sign for the Dexter Senior Citizens Center, designs for a Knights of Columbus Fun Run tee-shirt, and a mural for the wall of the Arkansas City Memorial Hospital ' s maternity ward. We ' re working with the hospital, and they ' re wanting us to go in and do some cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck, up in the maternity ward, and do them in baby style. The busy artists also are planning to paint the dugouts for Ark City High School ' s baseball team, as well as creating a sign for the new 5th Avenue Bike Shop. We get 20 or 30 requests a semester wanting us to do things, says Hunter. Right now we ' ve got 11 things going. In the past, Cowley students have been involved in such p rojects as the Lotus Blossom mural uptown near the Munson- Austin Agency, and as far as can be seen now, Hunter and his students ' involvement with community art will not end. BY MICHAEL CARMODY Pulse 11 Education and family life Although going to school together was probably not part of their marriage vows, three couples have made their marriages complete by sharing classes at Cowley. The three Cowley couples, John and Jolene Coupe, Frank and Margaret Hunter, and Tom and Georgia Robison, spend more time together than most married folks. They study together, take classes together, attend the same club meetings and have become each other ' s best friends. It ' s a way of life for which they are willing to sacrifice convenience. John and Jolene Coupe travel 35 miles to class everyday from Rock. Because of an injury, John has come back to school and he persuaded his wife to come with him. It ' s been fun and helpful for both of us going together, says Jolene. The Coupes have just come through a tragedy in their life-a fire that destroyed their home. After buying a new home in August, they are slowly putting the pieces back together. Frank and Margaret Hunter are second year Cowley students. They are active in school clubs, such as Phi Theta Kappa and the Traditional-Non-Tradi- tional Students. Recently, they both participated in a makeover done by the Cowley cosmetology department. Tom and Georgia Robison live in Ark City and have a quite large family. We have eight kids, eight grandkids, and three more due this winter, says Georgia. Unfortunately, they do not get to spend the time they would like to with their family. When the Robisons are not going to school, working, or studying, they are selling fire wood. Lately, they say they ' ve had trouble finding the time to take care of the wood. Tom and Georgia enjoy going to school together, because they understand each others frustrations. We share the good day and the bad day, Georgia said. These special couples have prepared diaries to share the joys and the hardsh of being married students.

Pulse 13 At Second Glance Cosmetology makeovers change Cowley ' s appearance A new school year demands a new look . Cowley sophomores Frank and Margaret Hunter, and freshmen Janine Bebo Valentine, and Rob Barcus, volunteered themselves as guinea pigs for the PULSE sponsered makeovers by the Cowley cosmetology department. It isn ' t hard to see that Rob Barcus needed his hair trimmed. The new cut that cosmo student Kandi Stover gave him, as you can see, allows him to be fashionable without all the hassles of a more complex style. Just wash and wear. Bebo Valentine, who hails from Chicago, used to hide herself under a favorite hat. Her stylist, Judy Sheppard, was able to see Bebo ' s potential. After her hair was deep conditioned, Bebo received a permanent and a cut. An accident with some chemicals bleached a blonde patch into her hair and the result was unique. Bebo loved it! When student cosmetologist Michele Johnson learned that she would be working on Frank Hunter, she became ecstatic. Johnson likes to makeover men. Men are much more flexible, she says. Frank had wore his grayed, ash brown hair in the same style for many years. Although he liked it, he was ready for a change. I wanted to change my outlook, confided Frank. k FINAL TOUCH-Cosmetology instructor, Cheryl McCully adds the final touch to tl new haircut student Kandi Stover styled for Rob Barcus during the cosmetolo markovers. (Photo by Julie Reed) Johnson altered his style only slightly. She cut in a square-back d.a., and feathered his bangs. He was now ready for a hair coloring. Reluctant to let go of his gray, Frank chose a natural wash of ash brown. The result? A man who looks, as well as feels, young at heart. Margaret Hunter was given the V.I.P. treatment during her makeover. She received a cut, a permanent, a hairstyling, a facial, and make-up. Having worn her hair waist length for years, Margaret was not ready to have it all cut off. Her stylist, Judy Sheppard, compromised by cutting bangs and feathering them. Sheppard also gave Margaret a perm, and a soothing facial. After the facial, Margaret was ready to get some makeup tips. Choosing a warm palette of browns and corals, Sheppard showed Margaret how to make herself glow. All these makeovers were performed by Cowley cosmetology students under total supervision of their instructors, Pat Mauzey and Cheryl McCully. Those interested in having makeovers done by the Cowley cosmo students can make appointments between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. bebo on the ROCKS-Janine Bebo vt tine models her new look after her visi BY ANDRIA DRONGOSKI ,he cosmetology department.

Well, believe it or not, a certain wood duck seen by physics instructor Kevin Pennington on his way into town persuaded him to teach in Ark City. I love to hunt and when I saw that wood duck as I was driving into town, I just knew if the College offered me a job, I ' d take it, said Pennington. But Pennington likes something more than duck hunting, and that ' s physics. Having to take general chemistry as a basic toward an archaeology major, he fell in love with the concepts of atoms and molecules, leading him to take a physics class. I was even more amazed with physics and ever since then, I ' ve been hooked. I love it, he said. Pennington continued his education at Coffeyville Community College and later at Pittsburg State University, getting a Bachelor of Science degree in 1979, a Master of Science degree in 1981 and a Specialist in Education degree just this last summer. He hasn ' t always been the student. He ' s also held a number of teaching positions. Including a Physics and Physical Science Laboratory instructor, a Graduate Assistant in Physics lecturer at Pittsburg State University, and most recently, at Northeastern Oklahoma University A M, an instructor of Physics and Engineering Science. Currently, teaching Introductory Algebra, Intermediate Algebra and Physics at Cowley. During his teaching career, Pennington has acquired a special gift with his ! • ' St ■ i ■ Mi; Fin amazed they pay me for this. - Kevin Pennington students. He ' s hilarious, but he ' s real interesting and real easy to learn from, said Felicia Cox, sophomore. Making class interesting and a little unpredictable is part of what makes his instruction enjoyable. He ' s fun, said Dawn Segrist, freshman. One day he broke a piece of chalk, so he threw it across the room and it hit the wall and everyone was laughing. According to some of the students, he ' s a crazy guy who simplifies things so that they can understand him. Jeff Shrivi sophomore, even goes as far as to comp; him with John Candy. He ' s a funny person, Shriver said. But what makes him so popular w his students? I love what I do and have fun myse thus it ' s easier for students, Penningt exclaimed. I ' m amazed they pay me 1 this. Pennington main goal this year be watching the students becoi enthusiastic about the sciences. There has been a lack of enthusia: about the sciences and I want to get i students excited again and show them h meaningful physics can be. Pennington has already begun to rea his goal for this year by organizing engineering and science club. I not only want to emphasize cl interpretation, but I also want the studei involved in clubs, so that people w similar interests can come and meet a we ' ll try to do some things that will enjoyable for them. Within the next few years Penning! will also try to develop a Pre-Engineeri course at Cowley for students who warn get the basic classes for engineering out the way before transferring to a four y college. No matter what Kevin Pennington 1 up his sleeves, one can always be assui that it will involve physics. I want my life to revolve arou physics, said Pennington, it ' s my life.

(Photo by John Bernhardt) Retirement often conjures up thoughts of a senior citizen sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair. But for the 525 members of the College ' s XYZ Club, retirement means X-tra Years of Zest. The XYZ Club is open to any person who is over the age of 55 or is fully retired. The only other requirement for membership is that the individual must have at some time been enrolled in any of the many courses offered to senior citizens at Cowley. These courses are offered through the Board of the Institute of Lifetime Learning which is a division of the College and a service of the National Retired Teachers Association and the American Association of Retired Persons. Mary Margaret Williams has been the program coordinator for the Institute since its inception in 1974. Previous to that, she was an instructor at Cowley. I worked at the college for 19 years and when I retired, the board (of Trustees) asked me if I would do something to organize a program for the senior citizens, said Williams. Williams found the new experience a challange. I had no experience whatsoever in working with senior citizens, Williams said. I had worked with younger students so I studied a lot of other groups and went to a lot of conferences the first year. When they enroll in the institute, they automatically become a m ember of the XYZ Club, she said. This gives them the privileges of the College-that is, with a pass which i: lifetime card, she added. This card allows them to go ir musicals, drama, basketball games, a other activities. In other words, they ha a lifetime pass to the college, Willia said. They can continue to use this ca even if they never attend another class Cowley, said Williams. There are other benefits for members XYZ, too. It also gives the privileges of the libn and student center, she added. There is no membership fee in XY The only cost to students is enrollment. There is a $2 enrollment fee at tf time, Williams said. If they pay th( $2, they can take any class or as ma classes as they want. The only time they would have to p extra is when they sign up for a gro tour. Williams has seen the number of si dents grow over the years. The first semester we had an enro ment of 25 students, but this semester have an enrollment of close to 15( Williams said. The instructors for the courses are pa very little, according to Williams. Our teachers are given a very sm stipend, she said. Actually, they a more or less volunteer. Not all of the instructors are from t College. Our teachers are interested citizens faculty members, said Williams. The Institute is always on the lookc for additional instructors. I would like to have an art teacher, added. We have a crafts teacher, t sketching and painting we do not have. Paul Stirnaman, instructor for Curre} World Affairs for the Institute, is excit about his new students. They come in very well prepared ai very eager to pick up on anything Stirnaman said. It is just a joy to tea them. They are so eager to learn. Stirnaman is pleased with the reactio he senses in his students too. They are very interested in what going on. They have very positi comments, he said. They want to kno more. I think they are learning a lot. 18 Fall ' 87 .PING HAND-A volunteer helps a member of the Institute of Lifetime Learning i a crafts project.

The ' 60s decade showed an increase in women attending colleges and universities, separate housing for male and female students was stricdy observed. But what lovely havoc arose in the 70s era when the word coed was placed before that notorious word dormitory . Since this option in college housing hit the scenes, higher education has never been the same. Here we are in the twilight years of the ' 80s and once again changes are taking place with the campus residences. Nelson Dorm has once again returned to the good ol ' days when young men and women were separately housed. Now let us not jump to the hasty opinion that a bunch of old fuddy-duddy prudes re-established this tradition, because actually the change was prompted due to THERE ' S NO PLACE LIKE HOME-Sopho Nelson Dorm into a home away from home (Photo by Jeff Krueger) student wishes. The change seems to be having a definite positive effect for both students and dorm managers. Returning sophomores who lived in the dorms last year appreciate the freedom of this return to tradition. We have a lot more peace and quiet now that the guys are out of here, it ' s just so much better for study time now, said sophomore Karen Clay. Another live-in sophomore is Brenda Hadden who has a practical reason for liking the new living situation. Now the guys aren ' t always in here hogging the phones, said Hadden. Sophomore girls are not the only ones who appreciate the change. The guys have good things to say about it as well. Wes Moore, who lives in ' Elwood Hall ' agrees with Clay. Yeah, it (the change) is O.K., said more Mary Dewell has converted her room ' to make college life more comforti Moore. One thing is that it sure is qui this year. Ben Pierce feels that the new w system has helped a great deal in enforcement of dorm rules and policies I think it was a very good idea, it i down on the sneaking of girls and g into rooms and really helps the d managers out, said Pierce. Freshman students who had viewed coed dorm on previous visits also seei accept the dorm situation as a posi one. For freshman Marcia Rinke it w happy change.

Wilson ' s open door does attract a lot of attention, especially since she happens to bake excellent chocolate chip cookies quite often. I kind of feel like a grandma since I ' m always making cookies for someone. No, more like a mom with 49 daughters and a few sons thrown in here and there, said Wilson. This family type atmosphere is not patented stricly in the girl ' s dorm. Elwood Hall has a cosy laid-back atmosphere as well. I see Dennis as the kind of guy you can go and talk to about your problems and he ' ll help you with them, he ' s kind of like a father figure to us, said Joel Kropp of his resident manager, Dennis Mclntire. Mclntire, who is not much older than many of the young men who live in his dorm sees his age as an advantage. I know what they are going through. Last fall I had classes and lived on campus at Kansas Weslyan, so I know what that aspect is, said Mclntire. Wedding bells rang for Mclntire and assisitant softball coach Merrie Pat Reynolds on Sept. 19. The couple lives in the new men ' s dorm in a suite complete with a tiny kitchen. We don ' t have as much privacy as a couple who lives on their own, said the new bride. We ' ll just have to learn to adapt to the kids. It never fails though, that every time we sit down to eat, somebody knocks on the door. It ' s just one big built-in family. If fuddy-duddies concocted this scam to keep the sexes separate, then it seems that those who live in the dorms have also adopted similar morals as well. In the good new days tradition is still holding its own. BY LAURA MOORE Solving Cowley ' s White Wall Dilemma turning small rooms into a home Mary Dewell, sophomore dorm resident has managed to turn her small corner of the campus into a cozy environment. I can ' t stand plain white walls, said Dewell, I want my room to be more than just a place to sleep. Dewell has decorated her room in a country-style manner, by adding simple touches like the sign above her door which reads Welcome Friends and the many candles placed around the room. When the country kitchen stuff came out, I really didn ' t care for it, but I love the dark wood, and old things. I love candles too, she said. Dewell has also brought things from home to make her room more pleasant such as a dust ruffle on her bed, and an OLD GLORY-Rock ' n Roll and the USA are two things that mean a lot to Dale Havens. Havens chose to decorate his room with musical instru- ments and the American flag to convey his personality. (Photo by Jeff Krueger) old sock monkey doll in a dark wood box. Some of this I just brought here instead of taking back home when I moved out of my apartment, it makes it look nice, she added. In contrast to the cozy atmosphere Dewell ' s room provides, is the unusually decorated room occupied by sophomore Dale Havens and freshman Cameron Topinke. This room is dominated by two electric guitars against a background of a United States flag with a Confederate flag super- imposed over it. : Decorating the walls, one will find Ozzy Osborne posters and other heavy metal musicians along side photographs of the space shuttle. I ' m a rock and roller. I was a lead singer for a local band, said Havens. The flag is there so no one accuses me of being commie. BY S. KAY BRUNNER Pulse 21 ABOUT TOWN What ' s going on?

Dorms get VCR ' s Expect to see Crocodile Dundee and Eddie Murphy at the Cowley County Com- munity College dorms this year. But do not expect to see them in the flesh; look for them on video tape. All three of the dorms on campus now have video tape players available for check- out by the residents. Students can take the video machines back to their rooms, and view tapes on their own television sets. Each dorm has one machine for its use. We thought that the video players would be nice to have around, said Bob Juden, director of student life. VCRs cost a lot of money, and now our stu- dents can use these machines in their rooms free of charge. The video players are checked-out from the resi- dent managers in each dorm. Also, the resident managers may plan some ev around the machines. Students are also en aged to get togethe groups and use the chines.

R. E. M. Reviewed File Under Fire are the directions printed on the latest album from R.E.M., and for good reason. Like fire, the songs on the album are unpredictable, scorch- ing, and harsh. Document, R.E.M. ' s fifth effort, is totally different from their albums of the past. Es- pecially the misunderstood Dead Letter Office, a half- hearted collection of B sides and cover tunes. Missing from Document are R.E.M. ' s vague, ambiguous, lyrics sung by Michael Stipe in a soft, flowing, almost crooning voice as well as Peter Buck ' s complex interweaving arpeggios. In their place are; straight, brutally frank observations, angry pleading, vioces, and rough edgy guitar work. Side one begins intensely with Finest Work Song and Welcome to the Occupation. These songs may represent R.E.M. ' s frustration with what American people expect out of life. The lyrics of the song, What we want and what we need has been confused... are firm attacks on the American dream. With the third song Exhuming McCarthy the pace is slackened, but not the scrutiny. Enemy sighted enemy met. I am addressing the real politic... , followers of chaos are out of trol... Both Exhuming McCarthy and Disturbance at Heron House are reminders of our political past and the danger of history repeating itself. The album resumes mo- mentum with Strange , a short statement on paranoia and It ' s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) . The latter is the history of the past three dec- ades as told by R.E.M. in a barrage of subjects ranging from Lenny Bruce to Leonard and Berstein to Breshnev. Side two offers more, musically, than it does lyrical- ly. The One I Love is a callous (dare I say) love song, R.E.M. ' s token Top 40 song, though it is interesting that the first letter of each word in the title spells toil. Fireplace is a depressing song. What more can be said? It does, however, con- tain a saxophone solo by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos. Lightnin Hopkins is a particularly rugged sounding song but has little if anything to do with the late Texas jazz blues guitarist it was titled after. King of Birds adds the sitar (or synthesized version of a sitar) to R.E.M. ' s reper- toire. It also contains some excellent voice over dub- bing. Oddfellows Local 151 is the last song on the album and probably R.E.M. ' s weirdest song to date. It asks the question Why do heathens rage behind the firehouse....? To put it simply Docu- ment is unmistakably R.E.M. , but suprisingly di- verse. It is a must for de- dicated R.E.M. listeners, but only a standby for those just discovering the band. Friendly Floss Friendship Bracelets are the current fashion rage and they can be seen in abundance on the Cowley- campus. Friendship pins, which were safety pins decorated with colored beads, have given way to the colored threads that are currently the appropriate gift for one friend to give another. These finely woven bands of floss can be made in a variety of ways. I know two ways to weave the bracelets, said Tonna Dunaway, freshman. Dun- away ' s interest in the bra- celets was sparked by a friend giving her a bracelet. Christi Baker made me one and I started making them right after that, said Dunaway. Troy Wahlborg, sopho- more, wears a purple and white bracelet. I got mine from Susan Thorson, said Wahlborg. She made me wear it. One of the special features of friendship bracelets is that they are made individually, which makes each one unique, just like friends.

(Photo by Wayne Gcttstine) ALL CELEBRATION estival attracts music lovers It is a rare occasion when you can get 9,000 people together in one spot and everyone has a good time. But for four days in September of each year, the organizers of the Walnut Valley Festival held in Winfield, like to think they can accomplish that feat. The event is known to many as The Bluegrass Festival , but its official name is the Walnut Valley Festival . This distinction has been made since many varieties of acoustic music are featured at the campground atmosphere of the Cowley County Fai rgrounds. Bluegrass music blends with country, folk, and blues musical styles at the Winfield site, in order to present something everyone can enjoy. Stan Dyck, Cowley social sciences instructor, says the festival draws an interesting crowd each year. It ' s a unique person who goes to the Winfield festival. It ' s similar to a 60s gathering that was a full celebration, said Dyck. This type of festival appeals to some out of the ordinary middle-age and young people. The official attendance figure was boosted iSTAQESLi to a crowd of 9,000 by the clear, bright weather that graced the area for the September weekend. Kelly Carver, public relations and development secretary at Cowley, has been around bluegrass music all her life. My grandpa taught me bluegrass songs when I was a little girl, said Carver. He used to sing them to me all the time. It ' s a special feeling to hear them again. Carver says she returns year after year not only to hear the music but also because she appreciates the atmosphere. As a matter of fact, she was an originator of one aspect of the festival. Back in ' 83 I made a banner for our campsite and hung it from the trees. The next year they held a campground contest for the best campsite decorations, said Carver. Dyck sums up his feelings for the festival the best. One of the best festivals in the country is just ten miles down the road, said Dyck. BY MARK PATRICK : BB M!d iTil A Balancing Act DISHING IT OUT-Kathy Gamble serves lunch to one student out of the 345 that through the breakfast, lunch, and diner line at Cowley ' s cafeteria. (Photo by Bernhardt) A dollar doesn ' t buy much these days, unless you spend it in the snack bar at the Nelson Student Center. At the snack bar $1 will not only buy a quarter pounder but more French fries than you ought to eat. For $2.25, a student or faculty member can get something in the cafeteria that is not always available at fast food resturants: a balanced meal. But complaints can always be made, even about menus with balanced meals. It isn ' t like my mother cooks, said Layne Moore, Arkansas City sopho- more. For others, the cafeteria is as good or better than home cooking. Catherine Craig, Tulsa sophomore, finds cafeteria food a good alternative to eating at home. It ' s better than what my mom cooked because I was lucky if she cooked one meal a week, she said. The food here is not that bad. Other students said they were just glad they didn ' t have to do the dishes. Keeping the meal prices reasonable means Food Service Manager Jim Nash has established rules to keep the costs down. One rule says drinking glasses cannot be brought into the cafeteria. We don ' t want the students or teachers to bring their own drinking cups because they fill them up and take them with them, he said. We don ' t want them to take ours out, either. This happened a lot last year. Making decisions and trying to second-guess the students is a constant battle for Nash. One of my biggest tasks is to try and figure out how many people will eat each meal, Nash said. He has figured out that he needs to have food ready for 90-100 students per meal every day of the week. Nash came to Cowley in February after working in the Neosho Cot Community College food service proj in Chanute. Like many housewives, one of his concerns is, what to do with all the overs? We refrigerate all the leftovers and are served at a later meal as an extra er choice, Nash said. Nash says the students have considei influence in the type of meals served.

I wish that we had put together an administrative team, said McAtee. As the evening progressed, so did some of the tube rollers and faculty to the annual watermelon feed and seed-spitting contest sponsored by the Student Government Association. By 7 p.m., witnesses were ready to decide who had the best wind power to propel those tiny, little seeds through the air. As the women stepped forward to take their turn, the crowd was caught up in a battle against the veteran seed-spitters. Coming out on top was Amy Semmler, but following in an oh-so-close batde was Peaches Harris.

On Wednesday, teams found themselves in the heat of competition with the Tube Relays. Each team used all six members to get to the finish line. Starting out with water balloons, the competition progressed to blindfolded wheelbarrow drivers who guided wheelbarrow-riders through an obstacle course. The first stop on the course had the participants eating crackers and then attempting to whistle. Riders then had to chew a piece of bubble gum and blow a large enough bubble to suit the judges. Finally after chewing their bubble gum which contained chunks of crackers and blowing large enough bubbles, teams raced to the finish line to win that stage of the events. For the water catching contest, all six members lined up with milk jugs in hand to be drenched with a powerful stream of ON THE ROPES-Team Spuds members Laura Moore, Joel Kropp, Merrie Pat Mclntire and Greg Atkinson show their stuff during tug-of-war competition.

The consensus of the male population at the event was that the greatest part of the water catch was the unexpected wet t-shirt contest provided at the end of each round of spraying. The River Race on the final day of competition was cancelled because of the height and swiftness of the river. Instead, Dave Burroughs, director of recreation and Burroughs assistant, Mark Patrick put together a series of relays and events to complete the competition. I get so nervous during relays. It drives me crazy, said Susan Thorson, a member of the Staff Infection team. Looking back on ea ch team ' s efforts made it easy to see improvements that could have changed their chances for winning. It wasn ' t too bad, but we could have done better, said freshman Tiger team member Cameron Topinke. After the final events of beer can bowling and tug-of-war, the final team standings were announced by Patrick. Final team standings were: Fat City, a veteran first-place team with 25 points; the River Rats and team Spuds tied for second with 23 points. In fourth place were the Tigers with 20 points, the Phil Campbell team came in fifth place with 18 points, and the Best in sixth place with 17 points. In seventh place was Staff Infection with a whopping 16 points. Meeting new people and getting in- volved isn ' t always easy, but activities early in the year are geared for making those adjustment as easy as possible. For some, like Kevin Sisney, freshman, it worked. I was unsure about coming to Cowley at first, but once I arrived I found people to be friendly and that college life was definitely going to be different than high school., said Sisney.

Jackie Lantern ' s Halloween Revenge was a first for Sharon Hill, director.who had never done a Halloween play.

(Photo by Jeff Krueger) AUTOMOTIVE ENTHUSIASl . nitque cars are the apple of Charlie White ' s eye Charlie White, chairman of the Department of Industrial Technology, first became interested in cars at about the age of seven. His father owned a body shop where wrecked autos were rebuilt, and young Charlie soon found himself immersed in the automated world of cars. While still in high school, White rebuilt a 1950 four-door Mercury using parts from 10 similar junked cars. It had different fenders, three different doors, quarter panels, everything, said White. Since then, White has restored or partially restored more vehicles than he can name. I enjoy fiddling with them (the cars), but I ' ve only completed one that I know of, White said. Before I comp leted all the others, somebody bought them. Among White ' s restoration projects have been several classic Thunderbird retractables. It was one of those Thunderbirds that White had the chance to completely restore. He had originally planned to drive the finished product for awhile, but while he was working on the Thunderbird, someone offered to buy the car when the restoration was completed. Some guy bought it over the phone, sight unseen, said White. At present, White, who is also the machine shop instructor, is not restoring anything. White has just finished with the current apple of his automotively-enthusiastic a beautiful, black 1933 Dodge Brotl four-door Town Sedan. It is an astonishingly large car today ' s standards, completely dwarfii Dodge Omni sitting in his shop.

Members of the club worked at the Last Run car show Sept. 26-27 and over the two days took tickets, made sure no unauthorized cars entered the show area, and helped clean up Paris Park where the show was held. In the week following the show, Marcy Patrick, secretary to the industrial technology department, estimated the club ' s coffers had swelled about $1500. The show itself was the biggest ever, drawing over 700 entries from across the United States. Automobiles weren ' t the only things that got into the action. Pickup trucks and dune buggies made an appearance over the weekend, too. There were prizes given for best interior, best truck, best unfinished, best original, and best in show, and all the winners were exceptionlly beautiful pieces of automotive art.

Evidence of that pride is in their work and in the Lawn of the Week award received by the College twice in the last year. Duties of being a Sod Squad member include mowing grass, trimming trees and hedges, planting flowers, and the list goes on. Jerry Hewitt, chief of the Sod Squad, works with full time employee Somse Sengvixay and part time student workers Mark Buechner and David Regnier. Hewitt has been at Cowley for the last seven years, while Sengvixay has been here for the past five. Buechner and Regnier were on the summer maintenance crew, so they were given the opportunity to work during the school year. The Sod Squad is on a tight budget of approximately $6,000-$ 10,000 for the fiscal year. This budget is used to buy seed, fertilizer, plants and trees. Prior to purchasing anything or doing work other than day to day operations, Hewitt has to get approval. This approval must come from S id Regnier, Dean of Administraton, and Bud Shelton, Director of Buildings and Grounds. Sid Regnier decides on what we need. I turn in the requests and he runs the money, said Hewitt. There is also a replacement fund. This is used in the situation where some piece of machinery breaks, then new equipment may be bought from this fund. Once again, Hewitt has to turn in the requests. It ' s sort of like Christmas. I might get what I ask for and I might not, said Hewitt. There used to be a shed, where the new parking lot is located, for some of the mowing machines. But now all the equipment is in one small building behind Ireland Hall. We are supposed to be getting a new maintenance and shipping building. It has been talked about for the last three years, said Hewitt. Hewitt is not the only one who looks forward to a facility the group can work out of. A new maintenance building would make working here a lot easier, said Sengvixay, but it ' s still a nice place to work here and I like the people. Liking to be around people has its advantages, but one of the most important aspects of any job is personal satisfaction. I like to see the campus develop because of the work I do here, said Hewitt. It ' s more than a job, it ' s like a hobby. Over the last two years approximately 200 trees and shrubs have been planted. Some of the more noticeable work done around the campus is the landscaping around the new dorm. That was a challenge! We tried to plant fescue grass but it wouldn ' t grow. So we sodded the lawn, said Hewitt. One of the Squad ' s newest tasks is Li t try y iraa fixing up the newly acquired prop behind the Business Technology buil The College just bought the property fall but plans for it are still unknown. Buechner, who has been working or house, likes his job because he can his own hours. I like this kind of work. I also e seeing the campus look better and bet said Buechner. According to Shelton, keeping grounds nice is an important aspec Cowley County Community College, encourages students and visitors to ke that way. In general, the better we can keep grounds looking, the more pride stud will take in Cowley, said Shelton.

Gillman once met Eleanor Roosevelt, when Roosevelt was a guest speaker on a television and Gillman was a panelist. She still cherishs the memory. I remember the time I met her and she asked me how I was and I think that was the First time anyone ever asked me how I was and really wanted to know, said Gillman.

Coaching does not start and end with stretching muscles, but rather with stretching an athlete ' s mind to push herself to reach her own potential. Debbie Davis, head volleyball coach, has set such a goal for her team. To attain her goal, Davis has set up a heavy practice agenda. There is a 10-minute warm up every practice and then the girls either do laps around the W.S. Scott Auditorium, take in the stairs, or do laps around the gym floor. After this, it is on to passing and bumping the ball and working on drills. Come on girls, stretch it out... Get those sets... Way to go... shouts Davis as a practice is underway. According to Davis, many of the games this year will be nip-and-tuck because there are so many fresh teams this season. The Lady Tigers have already been through one such nip-and-tuck game at the Hutchinson Tournament. We beat out Barton there, said Davis, and they were the Region VI champs last year. The winners of the Hutchinson Tournament, however, were the girls from Cloud County Community College. Cloud is one of the few Kansas teams this year with a mainly sophomore team, which means that Cloud is going to be the team to beat this season. Another tournament the girls are going to have to really concentrate their energies for is the Fort Hays tournament. We ' ll go against 10 teams, all of which are four-year schools. I like to let the players get some exposure for recruiting and so they can compare with players at larger colleges, said Davis. Getting the girls prepared for their matches is a busy job. Davis has an assistant coach, Tracy Juden, to help her with the training. Juden played volleyball at Southwestern College in Winfield for four years and was the assistant coach there in 1986. The program here is so much better than at Southwestern, and Debbie has more knowledge of volleyball than the coach there had, said Juden. Juden is not the only one who feels positively about Davis. The team feels that Davis is really trying to help them reach their potential. Freshman player Janell Calhoun, a strong power hitter from Wichita, said of Davis, She ' s a lot better than my high school coach, she really works transition more than a high school c( does. Another new member to the squa Dawn Segrist who agrees with Calh I like Deb ' s style for a lot of reasons, of them is because she is easy to get a with as a friend, but also it is eas} respect her as a coach. Getting respect out of her girls is difficult for Davis, she ' s one coach really knows her sport. I ' ve been coaching now for ten ye this is my fourth year at Cowley. Last year Davis was co-coach v Linda Hargrove, who will be dedicatj more time to the ladies ' basketball tea this year. Going back to just one head coach i placed more pressure directly on Da shoulders. There is the pressure to win, to rec well, just lots of little things, said Da - The past record for the team is 1 percent wins. Their batting average excellent, so there is a pressure to keep such a winning level. There ' s that pressi just to go out and win. To keep the team on a winning lev Davis and Juden coordinate drills for 38 Fall 87 ■MM OFF-Debbie Davis squares off at the net during women ' s volleyball practice to demonstrate a play for her team.

I no longer have to be a cheerleader for my team, just a coach. Davis does not mind yelling a little for her team, not with the season so far. I ' m proud of this team, for a dominantly freshman team, they are doing real well, I really wasn ' t expecting such a good team, but these girls have talent, and are very competitive with the determination to make it happen, she said. It ' s not just the coach who feels the team will be a strong one, but the player ' s themselves. Returning sophomore Peaches Harris feels the team is doing great,. With such positive opinions from her players, and with the number of wins the Lady Tigers have nipped-and-tucked then- way, it looks as if Davis and the squad may be on their way to having a teriffic season. BY LAURA MOORE Pulse 39 r Facing tough opposition, THE FIGHTING TIGERS go6-6 in the fall season ' With the schedule we had when the fall season started, I said if we went 6 and 6 1 would be satisfied. -Hargrove After an exciting season, Cowley ' s Lady Tigers soared to the top of the Region VI charts with a 6-6 record. Heading into the fall season the Tigers had high expectations, the kind of expectations that usually characterize a former championship team. Those expectations coupled with the experience gained the previous two years, allowed this year ' s seven sophomores and six freshmen to roll to an impressive 6-0 record for region competition. The Lady Tigers got off to a slow start but as the season progressed they established themselves as one of the most dominating teams in the fight for the division title. When the fall season started I was a little worried about our outfield, we had some players returning and I didn ' t know how fast the new people would fit in. The 1987 fall season began with an upset for the Tigers when WSU walked off the field with four victories, (6-4, 8-0, 5-2, and 8-6). The only other loses of the season were to Trenton, MO 3-4 and OSU 6-0, Hargrove said. Women ' s softball coach Ed Hargrove, who was dubbed Physical Ed by his team, felt his team played well against OSU. Out of the games we lost, I thought we played real well against Oklahoma State. We got beat 6-0 but they are considered the best team in the ' Big Eight ' this year. I felt we played a real solid game and didn ' t make any errors, we just couldn ' t hit their pitching, said Hargrove.

The Lady Tigers continued to ll tough as they went on to beat defending champions, HutchirH Community College. The Hutchinson game was a big because we were playing the defem Region VI champions. We had to w establish our own superiority, Hargrove. The Tigers ended their season wi 10-1 blow-out against Johnson Co Community College. The Tigers will take a couple of wi off before beginning their off-se;j workouts. In the off-season we ' ll do s weightlifting and some condition ' Mainly this time will be spent improj individually, said Hargrove. Hargrove was pleased with performance of his girls this fall. This is probably the best hitting 1 Cowley has had, said Hargrove, j pitching is stronger this year than in 1 past and our defense is above averagi feel real good about our pitching, I Hargrove. Hargrove is optimistic about his te|ij potential for the spring season, and njJ of that optimism is due to the pitcltt| staff. 40 Fall ' 87 - ulie Ott is a sophmore and I think the of experience has made her a lot better ler. Monica Coultis is as good as any lable pitcher in the Wichita area, ina Lipton could step in as a third ler without any problem. I ' m sure 1 have more pitching depth than any r team in the region, Hargrove said. Allowing the fall season, Hargrove d it easy to assess his team ' s ability.

ALL WELCOME Pulse 41 From the Royals to Cowley DAVE BURROUGHS Plays the All- American game Being the baseball coach and the College ' s recreation director, Dave Burroughs has grown to like the closenesss of the students and their cooperation. The one-to-one relation I get to have with the kids seems to make my job worthwhile, said Burroughs. But the opportunity to improve my level of coaching as head coach is what I like about Cowley. Burroughs played baseball in his high school at Ketchum, OK and made the All-State team. After graduating in 1975, he was drafted by the Kansas City Royals. Starting in the minor leagues, Burroughs played catcher in hopes of moving up into the major leagues. The best part of being a Royal was practicing and playing with such people as Willie Wilson, U.L. Washington and Del Murphy, said Burroughs. Burroughs caught up with bad luck when he tore a muscle in his leg from the wear and tear of catching. He had to have surgery on it and missed the last two weeks of the season. It was great getting paid for playing ball and playing the other minor league teams, Burroughs said. Burroughs went to college after playing ball with the Royals. In the spring, he decided to play ball with the Oakland A ' s. I was upset because I just couldn ' t play due of my knee injury. But I had always wanted to play pro-ball. I fulfilled that dream, said Burroughs. Burroughs started working as a scout for the Philadelphia Phillies. His brother had been drafted by the Phillies and his influence helped him get the job. Burroughs met Darrin Daulton, Phillies player and Arkansas City native, who later would be his connection to Cowley. Being a scout was too demanding for me, so I devoted all my time to school, Burroughs said. In 1979, Burroughs recieved his associates degree from Bacone in Muskogee, OK. Transferring to Northeastern in Tahlequah, Burroughs received 22 hours credit toward his masters degree. Burroughs and his wife, Beckie, met while in college and were married. On Nov. 5, 1987, their first child is due to arrive and Burroughs is hoping for a boy. Burroughs had never heard about Cowley until Dave Daulton, father of Darrin Daulton, of the Phillies and prominant businessman of Arkansas (j mentioned the job to him. I applied and received the job. I really impressed with the school itse said Burroughs. Burroughs enjoys being in charge ot intramurals program but would like to more involvement from the students. I want to keep the program on the 1 it ' s been, but I want more kids to take in the activities, Burroughs said. Having the job as head coach of Cowley baseball team adds additk responsibilities. We ' re improving, but it ' s a 1 day-by-day process, said Burroughs s That ' s why I ' m in the business. His career goal is to turn the base | program around at Cowley Couj Community College. But his dream iM be a head coach at a Division 1 schj The biggest goal for Burroughs, howe is to take care of his family. My biggest goal is to meet the n(J of my family, said Burroughs.

I never intended to be one, but most paper junkies will tell you that. People who are organized are great as long as they keep it to them- selves. The neat ones are always trying to get me organized. My mother, who has alphabetized spice racks and precision folded sheets, bought me a book for Christmas one year titled, The Side-Tracked Home Executive. This book was supposed to cure any messy person of their problems for life. I promptly lost it. I guess I wasn ' t cut out to be a home executive, side-tracked or otherwise. A messy person does not fit into the slob category, they just always seem to have loose pieces of paper everywhere. A good-intentioned friend of mine sat me down one day and made a list of all the things I needed to do to become organized. I lost the list two days later, and found it when I cleaned up my room. By then all the things were done (cleaning my room was at the top of the list). I stuffed the list in my junk drawer with all the other lists tliat I make. I take them out and read them for motivational therapy sometimes on the off-chance that I have accidently completed something on one of my To-Do lists. One of my favorite pastimes is driving organized people crazy. This is an unintentional hobby at best, but sometimes I really do a number on a neat one. The other day I was talking to one of those people as I was flipping through a notebook, looking for some test notes. The neat one told me about his system for keeping his class notes straight. He has a different colored notebook for every class. Economics was blue, English was red, etc. I didn ' t want to upset him by confessing that I had tried the same system, but I lost the notebooks periodically, so I just grabbed whatever was handy. For a messy person, one big notebook is easier to keep track oftlian several smaller ones, even if they glow in the dark and spurt fire. I then explained my system, as it was, to the neat one. I said I kept several different types of notebooks around and just used whichever one suited me that day. This made studying twice the challenge it should be, but it definitely added interest to my classes. Yesterday, the neat one confessed to me that he had tried my system out, and that I was right, it certainly made things interesting. He also added tliat he was totally confused and it appeared that it would be a week before he got everything straightened out. There he goes again. A messy person would just buy a new notebook. □ (Duf ' V Y ABOUT THE COVER-Susan Rush-Johnston takes off during her first year as a student counselor at Cowley.

Our students did all the planning for the event and they wanted to prepare the meal themselves. Jorita Crane, PTK secretary, was pleased the meal was well received. We wanted something that was more traditional, more home grown. During lunch, Cowley ' s jazz band played the native music of America.

Gonna ' find out what Cowley needs that is NICE. With Christmas approaching at a furious pace, we have all stopped to make our list of all the things we wish to see that fat, old man in the plush, red suit brings us. In a recent survey, Cowley ' s faculty and staff made it clear what they wanted from Santa for the College. With wishes ranging from exotic flights to scholarship money for students, each entry came straight from the heart. For Pat Lawson, director of the College Endowment Association, knowing what she wanted the College to have for Christmas was easy. Scholarship donations! she said. There are many persons who could make a better life for themsleves given the opportunity to improve their skills and receive training to make the most of their talents. I would like a great number of people to contribute to the Scholarship Fund to help deserving students fulfill their ambitions, Lawson said. Coming from the head administrative office, President Patrick McAtee wished for all the employees of Cowley to have a positive, caring attitude toward each other and toward all the programs at the College. Showing the true Christmas spirit of giving, Libby Palmer ' s wish was not just for something that would benefit solely herself. The only thing that comes to mind as I am in this office is for Santa to bring the President and me a new look for our offices, and a year ' s supply of M M ' s for the candy jar, Palmer said. Another request for others came from the music department. Leonard Barnhill, instrumental music instructor, would like to see $15,000 spent on Cultural Arts Concert Series that would bring top-notch professional musicians to campus for clinics and concerts. From the counseling center and Susan Rush-Johnston came a wish for an Adult Resource Center or expansion of the current Learning Resources Center to provide more resource materials, more room an d another staff member. The more students we help to succeed at Cowley, the better our reputation and retention rates will be, she said. Because the campus is beginning to grow and expand, the following request came from Industrial Tech and Service Tech (Ireland Hall). For Industrial Tech secretary Marcy Patrick, she would like to see the College get a swimming pool or a golf cart for her to drive up to the main building. Cosmetology instructor Pat Mauzey would like to see a new bus with bathroom facilities on board. Think she had a Greyhound in mind? Also coming in from the cosmetology program was a wish from Cheryl McCully for a copying machine to be put in Ireland Hall. Bob Boggs ' wish wouldn ' t cost Santa any money but it might be pretty difficult to package and wrap. Boggs wishes for commit ment from the student body to back the I-Tech chapter of VICA during their money making projects. One of VICA ' s money makers is to be involved and help with the Last Run Car Show that is held annually. Also, to see the College help to make the 1988 Last Run Car Show bigger and better than ever before.

Students bussle toward classes with nary a mention of the chiming or the building itself. For social science instrucor Paul Stirnaman the building is special. During a recent poll of the faculty and staff, Stirnaman said his Christmas Wish for the College was to complete the renovation of Ireland Hall. Ireland Hall is the most atractive building we have on campus, said Stirnaman. We need the space, and the building is in an excellent location. In 1982 the bottom two floors of the building were renovated and now houses the police science and cosmetology programs and the Special Projects office. Renovation ideas for the upper floors have varied from a fine arts depart- ment to a museum-type classroom setting. We have kept a lot of the original things from the class- rooms and the school itself with hopes that one day we will be able to have an ' old time classroom ' setting, said E.W. Shelton, building and grounds superintendent As for Paul Stirnaman, the man behind the wish, seeing the finished renovation of Ireland Hall would be the best Christmas present for Cowley. As for Christmas spirit and his belief in Santa, Stirnaman says, ' BAH! HUMBUG! ' □ BY BRIAN REED Pulse th « ABC s of Uhristmas Welcome to the ABC ' s of Christmas.

There is no truth to the rumor that Kringle will be signing an $11 million contract with a nationally known overnight delivery service to establish Antler Express.

Hopefully our About Town section I will help keep you abreast of local happenings and inform yyou about new areas of interest in Cowley County and the surrounding areas. To help keep you informed, the Pulse would like to encourage you to submit ideas and nformation you may have, that might be included in future sections of About Town. Outdoor Beauty Natural beauty is in abun- dance throughout Cowley County, but it may not be more accessible than it is at the Cnaplin Nature Center. Over 200 acres of wood- lands, prairies, and streams are open to the public to explore free of charge. Small groups or organi- zations may prefer guided tours, which can be arranged with the CNC ' s director, Gerald Wiens. Winter is a neat time to come out here, said Jan Wiens, Gerald ' s wife and partner at the nature center. A great time is after a fresh snow - lots of animal tracks can be seen, and the leaves are off the trees, which means that you can see deeper in to the woods. Although cooler tempera- tures might discourage potential visitors this time of the year, Wiens said that this should not be a factor in determining the time of an expedition. Most of the trails and nature hikes are down between the hills, in wooded valleys, said Wiens. Wiens also stated that early evening, as the sun is setting, is a super time to visit the Chaplin facility. Nocturnal animals begin to move then, said Wiens. The Chaplin Nature Center is under development by the Wichita Audubon Society, and is located five miles northwest of Ark City. A brochure detailing all of the programs and facilities available at the CNC can be obtained at the Ark City Chamber of Commerce offices, or Gerald Wiens can be contacted at 442-7227 during normal business hours. With flora and fauna virtually packed on the CNC grounds, one visit per season may not be enough to witness all of the outdoor beauty. Activities Plus Do you know what the Ark City Recreation Center has to offer? There are numerous facilities available on site that everyone may not know about. Charles Dow is the director of the local rec center, and he lists several activities that can be indulged in on the premises at 225 East 5th St. We have a well-equipped physical fitness room, that has a Universal weight set, free weights, a treadmill, a stationary cycle, and even a sauna, said Dow. The physical fitness room is the only facility at the rec center that is not free to the public. A membership to the room is $10 a month for an individual, or $15 a month for a family. Aerobics and square dance classes are often offered in a room at the A.C. Rec. Center that is set aside for just such activities. A quick call to the offices at the rec center will tell you schedules for those meetings. The rec building itself is dominated by the gymna- sium, which provides the floor for nighttime volleyball and basketball leagues. But on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, the gym floor is open to anyone wantinj shoot baskets indoors. Safety floor mats provided in the wrestl room, as this facility designed for local grapp high school age and belc The Ark City Recrea Center even offers mee and banquet rooms, wl can be booked thro Dow and his staff. The phone number of rec center is 442 - 5040 also important to remenr that the building is o seven days a week, most importantly, is free public use.

Iced Blues In the past we have been treated to denim that has been bleached, burned, ripped, torn, faded, and frayed. Amazingly enough, the fashion industry wasn ' t satisfied with all that rough treatment, and this season has introduced a new look for those old blue jeans. The look on campus this semster can be found in your basic blue jeans, with a special twist. The look is called frosted or acid- washed denim that come in every shade of blue. This frosted denim has been seen in everything from jean jackets to skirts and pants. One of the best points about this new treatment is that it leaves the denim soft and supple. That means no more breaking in period for those stiff new jeans. The new frosted denims have that comfortable feel- ing of your oldest jeans, without all the washing and waiting. Brands to look for include Levis, Lees, Guess, along with some of the lesser known brands. Basic blue jeans have never been so cool.

Secondhand News What comes to mind when you think of pawn shops? Maybe a visit to one of the local pawnbrokers will lead you to reevaluate your thinking, or may even lead you to some merchandise that you did not know that you needed. Cash Town Pawn Shop at 511 N Summit boasts quality goods at reasonable prices. If you are in the market for a boat, car, or rider lawnmower at a decent price, this is the place to go. Cash Town also offers a wide variety of jewelry, watches, guns, and antiques. If you find yourself in a bind for cash, Cash Town ' s motto is We loan more for less According to their yellow- pages ad, they offer fast confidential loans at low interest rates . Another pawnshop found in Ark City is Sheldon ' s Pawnshop located at Madison and A Street. Sheldon ' s offers a large variety of goods some of which are quite unique. Aside from the acoustic guitars, camera equipment, and jewelry, Sheldon ' s once boasted a hairball that had been removed from a cow ' s stomach. Someone had taken the time to shellac this oddity and mount it in a wooden box. The employees at both pawn shops may also be helpful in locating ' hard to find ' items that you may have been hunting for. Both Sheldon ' s and Cash Town know their business when it comes to firearms, and both offer a wide variety of guns so these might be good places to check out if you are interested in collecting unusual or antique firearms. Sheldon ' s and Cash Town are good places to keep in mind if you are in need of ready cash, or if you are in the market to buy quality secondhand goods at reasonable prices. □ Opinions c THUMBS UP to the Cowley County Community College custodial staff for the great job they have been doing around the campus, whether it be in their daily routines, or helping out at special events. THUMBS DOWN to the library for it ' s limited access due to the early closing hours during the week, and limited access on the weekends. Cowley is a campus with a great deal of non-traditional students who work day jobs, and may need evening hours or weekends to use the library ' s resources. □ Compiled by: Mark Patrick and Julie Reed. Pulse 17 Letting The Public Vote Nobody could agree on how many people attended the coronation of Queen Alalah LVI, but all agreed that this was the largest crowd the crowning had seen in years. Peggy Paton, member of the Cowley County Community College Arkalalah Committee, gave the most conservative of the numbers. We counted 886 ballots, Paton said. There were some people who wentto the coronation without voting, but the majority of them did vote, she continued. Some voters were so anxious to have their votes be. counted that they came an hour and a haL tarly to avoid the rush. Paton feels Jiat opening the voting to the public was an asset to this year ' s coronation. Letting the public vote has been a definite pulling part, she said. This is more people attending the coronation than I have ever seen. Judy Gray and Dr. David Ross were co-chairpersons of the coronation and program. Ross was generous with his estimation of the crowd at Friday ' s activities. The W.S. Scott Auditorium holds 2200 PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT-Dr. Patrick McAtee, CCCC President, casts his vote for C Alalah LVI at the W.S. Scott Auditorium Oct. 30th, 1987. McAtee was one of 868 to their ballots in the new voting system which allowed everyone attending the coronatk vote. (Photo by Kathy Gann) people when completely full, he said. I think saying that 1 ,500 people were there is conservative. Many of those in attendance were glad they could have a say in the outcome. Mary Ann Hooley, wife of the master of ceremonies, was glad to have the chance to participate. I think it (opening the voting to everyone) gives more people a chance to vote, she said. Brian Reed, CCCC student, found the evening doubly exciting. Besides casting his vote, Reed was also an escort for Miss Dewell. I love the new system. I think it is great, Reed said. It ' s letting the community get more involved. It is more fair to the queens because not everybody knew the candidates. Lee Porter, local businessman, saic got more excited as the evening contini I was looking at the long line; people waiting to get in, Porter said really went well. The enthusiasm in community is great. You won ' t see this many people ; normal event, Porter added. Steve Gilliland, another local busirfo owner, thought the change was needed. I like this way much better beca there is more input from more people, ' said. It used to be ' rigged ' before. Not all those in attendance agreed the new voting system. Some of the past title holders did like the idea of the uninformed pu deciding who would wear the crown.

Cox ' s mother and other family members were in the audience when Felicia ' s name was called. I was so excited, Cox ' s mother said. It was a proud moment for her mother. Cox is majoring in liberal arts. After graduation in the spring, she plans to transfer to cosmetology school. Shannon Lowery was named first runner-up to Cox. Lowery ' s activities include the Spirit Squad, the Tiger Action Club, SGA, the Library Council, and Phi Theta Kappa. After graudation, she will attend The Wichita State University, majoring in accounting.

I don ' t know how they decide who to vote for, Buss said. Diane (Huffman) Sparks, 1966 Queen Alalah, was a little more optimistic than the others. I think it is good to let the public vote, she said. The only problem I see is that a girl who is not from Arkansas City will not have the support that local girls will have. Rick Kriech was in attendance because his daughter ' s fifth grade class was singing during the coronation. We don ' t know any of the girls, he admitted. It probably is not fair if you don ' t know any of the girls, he continued. We voted, but we probably should not have-to be fair, he concluded. □ B Y KATHY GANN 218 South Summit Arkansas City, Kansas 67005 442-3310 Pulse 19 Rising to New Heights Susan Rush-Johnston ' s story is that of a typical non-traditional student. She started college right out of high school, dropped out to marry, and returned to college after her children entered school. I tried college right out of high school, but I bombed, she said. I was getting married and it didn ' t matter. After my third child, I was kind of bored with the housewife routine, there wasn ' t enough to do, and it wasn ' t very stimulating. She admits she is not satisfied with staying at home. I ' m not the homemaker type. I know people who are, and I ' m just awed. I walk into their house and I ' m awed. I ' m awed at the way they handle domesticity, she said. I think it ' s a career, but it wasn ' t a career for me. I went back to school, and started out as an art major. Rush-Johnston ' s children didn ' t seem to mind that she was attending college while they were growing up. I remember they said I wasn ' t boring like so many of their friends ' mothers. I was fun. I feel that came out of my theories of child rearing, Rush-Johnston said. That theory is based on the belief that children need room to grow just like anything else. A little benign neglect never hurt anybody. Draw your lines, but draw them way out, you ' ve got to give the child enough room to grow, said Rush-Johnston. It ' s like with a plant. If you make the pot too small you kill the roots and the plant dies. You ' ve got to give them a big enough pot for their roots to grow. Rush-Johnston summed up her philosophy on child rearing quite simply. Make as few rules as possible and enforce those rules. Rush-Johnston ' s busy schedule did not keep her so occupied that she could not take time out to spend with her children. I never said ' no ' just because I didn ' t want to say ' yes ' , she said. If they came to me and said, ' Mom, I want to spend the night at so and so ' s house, ' well, that ' s not unreasonable. I said ' fine. ' Big m -3 A little beni r neglect never hur anybody -Susai Rush-Johnstoi I t i i hairy deal. A low-key approach to life has he her deal with everyday worries. I don ' t make a big deal about a 1 things. On the things I am strict al I ' m strict, she said. The rest of the I don ' t worry about. There a lot of things on a day-to-day basis that I don ' t worry about. Rush-Johnston keeps everythin perspective by keeping things light, includes being a bit of a practical joke When things start getting real seric feel this temendous need to lighten it Rush-Johnson said. I hate things v they get so heavy that everyone arrrrhhhhh I hate that. When things get hectic, she has a old standbys handy to remedy situation. I just gather some confetti and get my spritzer and ..., said Rush- Johns! She feels that part of her success is down-to-earth personality. Oh yes, I have been called the E Mother. An eclectic in her music ta Rush-Johnston also likes to garden, read. She enjoys outdoor activities canoeing, sailing, horseback riding, riding in hot air balloons. Rush-Johnston ' s first experience hot air ballon rides came in Octobe this year when she won a hot air ball ride at the KACC State convention. Although she was not present v, they drew her name from the hopper, showed little alarm over the ascent. I was out buying pantyhose, becau didn ' t want to be around a bunch strangers with a run in my pantyho said Rush-Johnston. When I found that I had won, I said, ' Well, gee, tl nice. ' I don ' t think it really hit me i i later. The experience of the hot air ball [i ride was something Rush-Johnston foil hard to put into words, but with a wis ' J expression she explained. The take-off was just.. .well, you i kind of floated along the ground for a i seconds, and then you just floated a li higher each time, she said. Sudde you were up there, rising and it wailj gradual that it gave me the opportunity 20 Christmas ' 87 3 BUSINESS-Counselor, Susan Rush-Johnston exchanges information with William nbaugh, Director of Admissions at Southwestern College. (Photo by Julie Reed) i things and just ease into it. sh-Johnston had expected the ascent similar to an airplane take-off, but ' as pleasantly surprised. : ' s nothing like taking off in an ine. A plane scares me because you i fast, she said. I expected those kinds of feelings in the balloon but sn ' t like that at all. It was so gentle. s so quiet up there that I could hear barking all over Great Bend, and I i even pick out different places where were barking. r e also had a flock of Franklin gulls iderneath the basket about a 100 feet v us. That was really weird to be up his balloon with birds flying •neath you. hey traveled northeast over Barton ity Community College and enne Bottoms, veered east and then i. n hour later I ended up a mile or two )f Great Bend. It was wonderful, she ven landing was an experience she l ' t want to forget. e landed the same way we took off, and easy. It was a perfect stand up ng, she said. It wasn ' t anything like ected. It was awesome. ;ing back on the ground didn ' t mean the experience was over. They had a little ceremony when we landed. We had to kneel down and they said the Ballonist Prayer, then you had to bend down and pick up a cup (of soda) with your teeth and drink it, she said. According to the ceremony rules, if you do not finish your drink they will pour champagne over your head. Usually they have you drink cham- pagne, but I don ' t drink, so I had soda instead, she said. I ' m sure glad it wasn ' t champagne, because I never would have been able to finish it. Winning the balloon ride was a first for Rush-Johnston. I ' ve never won anything like this before, she said. The things I usually win are like free drinks at McDonald ' s. Attending the KACC Convention was also a first for her. I had never been to KACC. This was my first experience with that organization and I just went to check it out, she said. Checking out new experiences is what Rush-Johnston likes. She says it makes her easier to live with. I ' m a much more pleasant person when I have things in my life to stimulate me, she said. □ BY JULIE REED Pulse 21 Larry +Terry A + How one family ' s cooperation really adds up Over the years, Cowley has estab- lished a large family of students. Larry Sandifar, Sr., and his two sons have enlarged that family by including their own. Sandifar, Sr., Winfield, along with his sons Larry Jr., and Terry are currently taking classes at Cowley and are enrolled together in college algebra. It helps with my brother and dad in there (college algebra) because we can work things out together and if we come up with different answers we can work it out and see why, said Sandifar, Jr. College algebra is not an easy class to tackle, but with help anything is possible. I couldn ' t get through college algebra, I didn ' t think, said Sandifar, Sr. I ' m a writer, a creative type, he said. I ' ve got all my English classes, business communications, industrial , psychology and all but you have to have college algebra to get a degree. Admittedly, it has been a while since Sandifar, Sr., has taken algebra. The last time I ' d had algebra was when I was a freshman in high school and not only did I not remember but things have advanced tremendously, said Sandifar, Sr. Since college algebra was the only class Sandifar needed to complete his associates degee in business management, he was delighted when his two sons decided to enroll in it. When they had to take it I said there is my chance to get through it because I ' ll wear them out if I have to, said Sandifar, Sr. Their help enabled me to survive that first test and after that, it ' s really been easy. Going back to school after a few years is always tough and Sandifar, Jr., doubted that his dad would ever get the opportunity to finish his degree. I wasn ' t sure he ' d ever get the chance to go to back, said Sandifar, Jr. I knew he always wanted to go back but wasn ' t sure he ' d get the chance. I definitely wasn ' t sure he ' d pick the time that we went to college to go back to school. Getting that chance might seem to cramp some children ' s styles but not in this case. I like it (having his dad in college with him) because a lot of times we don ' t understand things. said Terry Sandifar. We can work on it together and work it out so it makes it a little bit easier. Education runs in the Sandifar family. My dad and brother are college professors so education has always been important to my family. I ' ll probably be taking classes until I ' m 50, said Sandifar, Sr. Sandifar, Sr., may want to take classes now, but at one time in his life he decided school was not for him. I quit school my senior year, he said. I was just bored with it so I got a job in industrialization and personnel manage- ment. This decision did not sit well with his mother. FAMILY FACTORS ADD UP-Working together in their college algebra class, Terry, Larry Sr., and Larry Sandifar Jr. try to grasp an algebraic concept. (Photo by John Bernhardt) My parents were divorced so I d( think my dad ever found out but my m about died, he recalled. It broke heart because school came very easy me, I never brought home a book whole time I was in high school. Shortly after he got his new job he into a problem. They (his employer) kept after m go to college and they were going to for me to go, Sandifar, Sr., said. W it was kind of tough for me to explain them why I couldn ' t go because I had them I had my high school diploma had to hurry back and get my GEE soon as I was old enough and then I into writing books and nobody e asked. 22 Christmas ' 87 idifar, Sr., works as a tax consultant, consultant, and writes books on real ; and financing for Prentice- Hall. it witten six books and am about to my seventh, Sandifar, Sr., said. I written the largest directory of ig institutions in the country and my Dook is an update to that. iving a night job he enjoyed and a 3f a challenge in school might have andifar, Sr., away from college at but it made him realize what was rtant for his children. had no challenge, no reason to be ; to high school, recalled Sandifar, I was working nights and I was g more fun with the guys I was ing with. In four years of high school I never once went to a football game, basketball game, baseball game or dance, he said. I learned from that. I didn ' t let the boys work in high school and kept them involved in activities that made school fun. To give them a reason to go everyday. Sandifar, Sr., bases his work in his home as a way to be closer to his family. I ' ve got about 40 feet to go to get to work everyday, my hours are my own so that ' s the fun part, said Sandifar, Sr. I ' m very selfish with my time. I want to spend it with my family, he said. I wanted to go to their ball games and activities and the way to do that is not to be tied to a time clock. The family Sandifar says is so important in his life was recently enlarged. I have one granddaughter. Larry has a daughter, Whitney, who is eight months old, Sandifar, Sr. said. I ' m able to work and play with the granddaughter whenever they bring her over to for us to babysit. Sandifar, Jr., hopes to transfer to Brown University in Rhode Island but hasn ' t decided on a major. I ' m not really sure what I will end up doing, I either want to go to law school or become a teacher and coach, Sandifar, Jr. said. He ' s a step up on coaching since he is presently coaching junior high basketball in Burden. Sandifar, Jr. ' s wife, LeAnn is also enrolled in classes with her husband. We have sociology and a night class together which helps because we can study together, Sandifar, Jr. said. Wedding bells are about to ring for Terry Sandifar. I ' m engaged but we probably won ' t get married until March, he said. Marriage isn ' t the only thing in his plans. He wants to transfer to a school in Indiana to play basketball and work toward a law degree. I want to play basketball in Indiana, my uncle coaches down there, Sandifar said. Raising a good family and learning by his own mistakes has made Sandifar, Sr., more aware of what school is all about. College is learning to think, learning to interact with people. But if you work, there are a lot of activities you can ' t participate in and then going to college becomes just another place to go, rather than acting as a strong influence on your life, said Sandifar, Sr. Sandifar feels good about the investment his family has made in the College. I ' ve been really impressed with Cowley, particularly the quality of the professors and the quality of the courses, Sandifar, Sr. said. When you go to a community college, a lot of times you think of it as an extension of high school but it ' s not. You have to really work for your grades. □ BY KRISTI ADAMS Pulse 23 Art Keeps Turner Young What I tried to put on His face was that one moment when the human came out in Him, when He gave into all the hate, like He had kind of a leer in His eyes. Like it would have been just as easy not to go through with it, but that ' s what He came here for . -Greg Turner That simple, yet so detailed state- ment describes a painting of Christ on the cross that had been standing by the art room downstairs in Galle-Johnson Hall. The painting was done by Cowley student Greg Turner. Turner isn ' t just an ordinary student taking an art class though. Turner hopes to get a B.A. in art and later plans to be an art instructor. One way to reach his goal is spending about six hours a day in the art room. It takes a lot of work to be a good artist, but I like it, and it fits in with my schedule, Turner said. To be a good artist, you have to believe in yourself first. Everytime you put something on MEANINGFUL MASTERPIECE- Greg Turner poses here with his personal masterpk painting portraying the crucifixion of Christ. Turner hopes to someday teach others wl has learned about art. (Photo by Jeff Krueger) canvas it ' s like putting your guts out there for everyone to see, he said. His interest in art became apparent at an early age. I just began when I was about four years old, and I would let a piece of string dangle to the ground, and then I tried to create designs by moving the string. It was like a game I would play for hours, Turner said. Next came the copying of newspaper cartoons. Talent starts out on the little things, Turner said. His parents encouraged his creativity. My dad was real creative and he always stressed to me not to copy, but to be an individual, Turner said. Turner also had others who influenced him. The works of Van Gogh and Salvador Dali influenced his style. More important, some art teachers got him on his way. I had two excellent art teachers my junior and senior years of high school who helped me get art scholarships although I screwed them up, Turner said. I didn ' t leave high school with a good esteem, he said. Turner attended El Camina, a ja college, for a few weeks before drop out. It was the time of the Vietnam and his draft number was low.

He has really improved since he has been here. I think he will be a good artist, Hunter said. Turner said everything just fell into place. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time, Turner said. Turner has done several paintings since he has enrolled. His favorite one though is one where he has painted a cactus in full bloom. Art stands out in a clump, like a family unit, and then it blooms. And when a family unit is in bloom, it is doing fine, Turner said. The atmosphere helps him to relax and to paint more easily, Turner said.He likes to paint when he is listening to rock music. Rock is a creative medium. That ' s why it stays around, he said. His taste of music includes rock and a little of Hank Williams Sr. But Turner probably doesn ' t have much time to listen. His four daughters and a job at Wal-Mart keep him busy. My girls love it because I ' m an artist, he said. Turner is not the only one in his family who has talent. I ' d say three out of four of them show real talent, and the other one is not showing much attention to it, he said.

Ron Murphree The sport: basketball. The game plan: to win. The coaches ' objectives: to get the players to perform from the heart. The bottom line with these guys, said assistant coach Rob Alexander, is what ' s in their hearts. All of the ingredients are there, it ' s just up to them to pull it out and play well. Both head coach Ron Murphree and Alexander feel the talent is there, they just need to get the men to be consistent. Last year ' s team was a very young one, but they really pulled together well at the end of the season with seven back-to-back wins. This year we have some maturity, and the difference should be greater than how we started last season. Right now, it ' s essentially the same, said Murphree. The 1987-88 men ' s basketball team is a conglomeration of methodically chosen quality athletes. This year there are nine players from Kansas, and five out-of-state picks. When recruiting time rolls around each year, Murphree relies heavily on contacts from other coaches. When you have been in coaching as long as I have, you get to be friends with coaches from all over. I respect some of their judgements and some I don ' t, s Murphree. But contacts are not the only way Tiger team gets its players. We belong to two major coll recruiting groups, one based Pennsylvania and the other out of Louis, said Murphree. High school visits and scouting gar are also determing factors to get qua! athletes to come to Cowley. Go to th high school and watch a game. I guess Cowley just had what I wan in a college, and Murphree is a good co, to learn from, said Mike Armst sophomore team leader. I try to recruit Wichita very heav each year. It ' s a vital spot for us sii their population is over 280, 0i Year-in-year-out, Wichita produces so of the best athletes, said Murphree. Once the team was established i practices started, it became apparent tl Murphree and Alexander had chosen we] We should be a real good team if y go by the fact that as you get older y get better. But really it is out of : hands. They have the talent, it ' s just up the players now whether they want to out play their best and win, j Murphree. Murphree has high hopes that the te will come together and be a strc adversary. Some of the teams that will be toi ones to beat are going to Seminole, OK, St. Gregory ' s, a jun college in Oklahoma, Barton Couri Butler and Highland College, s Murphree. November 6 and 7 opened the seas with the Tiger Classic. The Tigers b Kansas Weslyean 91-81, but lost 90-93 St. Greggory ' s in an exciting overti; game.

Murphree, head coach at Cowley County Community College, wanted the 57 star of the West High Pioneers. Reggie ' s extremely quick and has geat leadership abilities, said Murphree, I knew that he would be good for Cowley ' s program. Reggie Thompson Knowing that recruiters were in the stands added tension to Thompson ' s game, but it was tension he was more than willing to handle. I guess I felt pretty proud to know that they were out there in the stands watching me play, said Thompson. At first it was just Murphree, but then Alexander started coming from time to time. I wanted a scholarship. If I hadn ' t gotten one, I ' d have still tried to go, (to college) but I wanted to play ball. Trying to go on without a basketball scholarship probably would not have been too difficult for Thompson, since he has a high acedemic level. I graduated in the top 20 percent of my class at West and made the honor roll my whole senior year. I had offers for some aid and grants because of my grades, but when I found out that Cowley was serious, I decided that I still wanted to play basketball. Thompson was encouraged by his mother and step-father to continue his education. My mom works as a secretary at WSU and my dad works at Beech, neither one of them has a college degree, and I ' m an only kid, so they really wanted for me to go on to college, but they never pressured me. The choice was up to me. College is a stepping stone in the course Thompson has set for himself. I ' m majoring in Business Administration and I hope that I can work for a major corporation someday. Murphree says Thompson has a sure shot at success. He ' ll be successful in life, said Murphree, He sets his goals and goes after them. He ' s what I call a 24-hour athlete-someone who ' s a leader both on and off the court. □ BY LAURA MOORE FIRST NATIONAL BANK i li ■ II 1 if t OF WINFIELD JPi-IlflI: ' ' |Bll ; MemberFDIC ffVj, lift .MAIN BANK 900 MAIN. 221 1 650 .SOUTH MOTOR BANK 1421 MAIN. • EAST MOTOR BANK 1905 CENTRAL.

Wx.:i 909 North Summit Arkansas City, Kansas (316)442-7610 Pulse 29 V-Balh AMxing Set The women ' s volleyball season is over at Cowley. The last ball has been served and the last pow- er spike has been rammed down the throats of the opponents. But for head coach Debbie Davis, it is time to review the year and evaluate the team ' s performance. We started out really strong, Davis said. We surprised a lot of people because we were very young. But the early strength wasn ' t destined to last. When ' Peaches ' Harris, (sophomore) got hurt, it was kind of a downer for us, Davis said. It took us clear through October to get out of the lull of not playing well. The situation improved markedly by the time the squad played their last game in the Region VI playoffs in early November. We got a lot better by the end of the season, but I still don ' t feel like we were playing up to what we were earlier in the year, Davis said. When Cowley improved, so did their opponents and that, coupled with the youth of the Lady Tigers, made the season tougher, too. Most of the time, 90 percent of our team were freshmen on the floor, Davis said, and then a lot of other teams got their act together and got a lot better, too. Youth may have made Davis ' first season as the head volleyball coach a little more difficult, but she ' s optimistic about next year ' s season. We have a good core to build around for next year because we have eight girls who will be returning, Davis said. And Davis had nothing but good to say about those returners. Marcia Rinke came through this year just super, Davis said. With about three weeks left in the season we moved her to middle blocker and she did an excellent job. She ' s a good jumper, a hard worker and you have to be that to be a middle blocker. Another surprise for Davis was Jeanette Sission, Council Grove freshman. I knew Jeanette was going to be a good setter, Davis said. She is turning out to be an excellent setter. Sisson has other qualities Davis likes, too. She is really quick and she always gets the ball, Davis said. The ball never hits the floor. Davis says that kind of play makes her optimistic. When you have highlights like that, it really makes you look forward to next year, she said. Janell Calhoun appears to be a good prospect for Davis ' team, too. Janell will be one of the dominant hitters, but she was off this year. Hopefully, we ' ll get some consistency from her next year and she ' ll be a consistently hard hitter. Davis is still looking for one middle blocker, two more hitters and two more setters for next year ' s team. If you don ' t have more than two or three setters, and someone gets hurt, you ' re in trouble, Davis said. I like to keep the setters to about three. Davis looks forward to next year, but she ' s satisfied with her team ' s performance this year. Overall, it was a good season, she said. We beat a lot of people who we had not beaten for a long time, and we placed fourth out of eight teams in the Region VI Tournament. That was good for as inexperienced as our team was. Both the first and second place teams started five sophomore and one freshman. According to Davis, Cowley volleyball FROM THE BENCH-Varied expressions cross the faces of Cowley volleyball players as they observe the action of their teammates on the court. (Photo by Jeff Krueger) players don ' t quit playing when they le this school. The majority, 60-75 percent of players go on to four-year schools, Da said, and a good percentage of them I continue to play. Volleyball isn ' t the only thing Da tries to teach her team. Academics is the one thing we re; stress at Cowley, she said. Yi academics come first because once girls are through with college, they m than likely won ' t go on to p professional ball. Statistics show one I of 10,000 high school male athletes mjj it to the professional ranks, and th diluted way down for women becaij professional ranks just aren ' t there jl women. □ B Y KATHY GAN 30 Christmas 87 Peaches Harris P EACHES HARRIS NO. 1 layer tops in Region VI Roe Tondyia Peaches Harris, a sophomore, was named the num- ber one volleyball player in Region VI compe- tition at the Regional Tour- nament in Kansas City, Nov. 7. Each volleyball coach in the region nominates players from their team that they ' d like to have considered for the all-region squad, said Linda Hargrove Region VI director. I completed the ballot, mailed it out to the coaches, and then every coach in the region voted for six players, not on their own team, Hargrove said. The top six vote-getters are on the first team and the second six vote-getters are on the second team. Harris, as the top vote-getter, will have her name submitted as this region ' s nominee for All-American. The next high vote getter who is on the Region VI championship team is submitted for All-American honors, too, Hargrove said. Announcement of the All-American squad will be made at the national volleyball tournament. □ BY KATHYGANN i Pulse 31 (Art-Continued from page 25) Still, he too tries to encourage his daughters. Doug has even let me bring the youngest one in a couple of times to class. And that gets her more excited about art, he said. Turner said he ' d like to see more students taking art classes at Cowley. To stimulate interest in art classes, the art students have a Starving Artist Sale around Christmas time down in the art department. We ' ll have prices on some of the art work, and we ' ll probably have some donuts and coffee, Hunter said. It should be a fun event, Turner said. All in all, Turner thoroughly enjoys the college experience. Yet he wishes he could have had it earlier. It would have been a lot easier. But school keeps me informed with what ' s going on with young people, he said. But with art, it always keeps you young.

The Homecoming Dance drew over 250 people v danced to the sounds of KQAM after the men ' s basketball game. (Photo Brian Reed) By the Friday night Talent Show, Homecoming festivities were well underway. Layne Moore dominated the show with his first place piano solo. Terese Simpson captured second place with her vocal solo and Lisa Allen took third place with her vocal solo. The scene at the Recreation Building on Saturday morning was chaotic due to the many decorations waiting to be assembled for the dance that was to follow the games. I helped decorate last year, but this year it went a lot faster because there were more people helping, said sophomore Cat Craig. I think the pizza really got them motivated. According to Linda Puntney, director of public relations, nearly $600 was spent on decorations. I ' d say we averaged 25 people helping out, said Puntney. We worked for seven hours so that ' s 175 man hours we put into getting it all ready. Included among the decorations were silver and blue streamers twisting to form a ceiling, walls made of silver plastic and a walkway created by silver and blue balloons. With all the silver stars and glitter everywhere, it really seemed like a wonderland, said Craig. With the decorations completed, students then attended the Allen vs. Cowley Homecoming games. The teams gave the home crowd their money ' s worth by pulling out a 73- 46 win for the ladies and an 87-80 win for the men. Coach Ron Murphree ' s game plan was to play with intensity for 40 minutes and to have a lead in the last five minutes of play. The team accomplished that, with sophomores Tyrone Baldwin scoring 27 points, Ben Pierce sinking 23, Terry Swinson with 11 and Kevin Durham bucketing 9 points. At halftime of the mens game, the 1987 Homecoming King and Queen Troy Gin-ens and Beth Nilles crowned the 1988 Homecoming King and Queen Tracy Masterson and Mary Dewell. Their homecoming court consistec queen candidates, Julie Ott, Julie Re Kathy Gann and Shannon Lowrey escoi by king candidates Mike Sparks, Rej Thompson, Mark Patrick and Rot Tieperman respectively. It was the neatest honor being crow queen. It took a minute to sink in beca it all happened so fast, said Dewell. Masterson shared the same feelings Dewell. I couldn ' t walk for a second, Shani Lowery had to nudge me to get me move, I was so surprised, 1 Masterson. Kyle Cerfman, DJ of Power 104 Ra( estimated that appoximately 250 peo were at the dance.

Pulse DEBBIE WILLIAMS Her secret to success is taking life one day at a time Amid the accummulated clutter of mail, laundry, and literature sits Deb- bie Williams. The large ruby ring she nervously twists around her finger belies her July birthday. Williams is a Cancer; sensi- tive, sentimental, with strong feelings toward motherhood and security. A single parent and non- Spring ' 88 traditional student, Williams has followed a winding road to arrive at her current place in life. A hearing loss when she was young caused Williams to be billed as a slow learner in school. The misdiagnosis eventually ground her education to a halt in the eighth grade. I had dropped out of school. I made straight Fs all through school, and I wasn ' t doing too much except raising kids and being Susie Homemaker, said Williams. That ' s a fine occupation. That ' s a job all in itself, raising kids is fun and a challenge but I just wanted more and needed more. But there were those who said she did not need anything more. 1 I had low self-esteem. 1 1 been told my whole life ttt wasn ' t very smart, and I shl just accept it.

It has really n a long hard fight. Today I ' 41. I was 35 when I really started on trying to put me ither, she said. Enrolling in college courses a little bit at a time, Williams is now classified as a fulltime student with a 3.60 GPA. Her grade point is an accomplishment Williams is proud of, considering she was once labeled as retarded . Going back to school is kind of like adolescence and meno- pause at the same time, Williams said. At first being around the younger students, I felt really stupid. I thought they had just come out of high school, and they were really smart. When Williams got to know some of the students, her point of view changed dramatically. I have gotten close to several of the students and I have a great relationship with them, said Williams. In fact I think they have kind of adopted me like a ' mom ' and I ' m having a real good time with them. Williams feels one of the secrets to her success is taking one day at a time. I ' m keeping my grades up, I just kept studying and putting one foot in front of the other, she said. You find out that a lot of things are painful and hurt a lot, and not every day is a success, Williams said. Williams feels when you experience pain and problems in life and you have to really struggle to get where you ' re going, you have a greater appreciation for who you are and what you are and what you become, and where you ' re going. My past experiences have made my education the most valuable thing I have going for me today. Because I know what life is like when you don ' t have it, she said. I ' m having a great time with my life now. Q BY JULIE REED Complete financial service under 1 roof. If s at Home. Home National Bank Main Bank 126 S.Summit Arkansas City 442-4040 Drive-Ins 601 N.

(Photo by De Aldridge) Back in a small room behind the teacher ' s lounge, sits a quiet, but important man to the College. A man whose job it is to keep the buildings in shape. Mike Crow repairs anything from furnaces to light bulbs. Crow came to Cowley in 1980 with the intent of finding a job, and that he did. In 1982 he became supervisor of maintenance and buildings. And although he has three custodians to help him out, he ' s always in demand. I ' m stretched thin because I ' m basically it, Crow said of his job. Crow is used to being busy, though. Married with three children isn ' t all fun and play, and it keeps Crow on the go. There ' s always something to do, he said. But he ' s also glad he has that family. They are the most important thing in my life, Crow said. Crow presently coordinates projects every day with superintendent of buildings and grounds, Bud Shelton. They have already accomplished building a dressing room for athletic officials in the W.S. Scott Auditorium, painting different rooms, putting new locks on the doors in the girls ' dormitory and replacing windows in Galle-Johnson Hall. Mike ' s doing the College a super job and I am relying on him more and more, said Shelton. Crow is a man with hobbies. When he ' s not working on his house or car, he is either hunting, fishing, or taking pictures. But his greatest talent is mechanical work. I wasn ' t really taught how to be a mechanic, it ' s just been an ability of mine, Crow said. This ability led him to a 10-ycar career. Working a little with his father-in-law, Crow picked up more skills a mechanic. But being a mechanic isn ' t what C wanted to do all his life. I needed something more, he sai don ' t even like to work on my own th now. And even though Crow ' s present jo the College involves some median work, he doesn ' t mind. I love what I do, said Crow. Shelton agrees. His dedication to this institution i; extreme, he said. He also gets to meet new people si his job includes the upkeep of the dorn It ' s always interesting, said C| Cowley is a great place to work. □ BY TONYA RUDOLP Spring •8 8 IGHING TOGETHER-Mike Crow and Jerry Hewitt discuss their daily routine in their office, located on the bottom floor of e-Johnson Hall.

He is a very successful man and quite affable to work with. One of McAtee ' s first projects was to estasblish an outreach center in Mulvane.

The Inauguration was first at the College since 1968 and brought representatives from the iversity of Kansas, Pittsburg State University, Fort Hays State University, Jthwestern College, and Butler County Community College. In addition to the uguration, the College also dedicated the new dormitory on Fourth Street and itral Avenue. (Photo by Julie Reed) Board members saw the Center as an important step for the College. One of the most significant things we have done this year was opening the attendance center in Mulvane, said Harold Walker. The Center enabled so many more people to further their education. Walker also saw program growth as significant progress. I ' d say another big item on our agenda this year was the re-establishment of a program at the Winfield State Hospital, the Nurse ' s Aid Program and the LPN program we have with Butler County now. Those are highlights of the year because they will have a long-term effect and be very, very beneficial to the College in the long run, said Walker. A fourth project undertaken by the Board of Trustees, was the construction of a central receiving building. The building will be used as a place for maintenance to keep their tools, work on engines, and as a storage unit for supplies and shipments. We ' ve needed such a place for a long time, said Curless, board member. We have just kept putting it off because of the cost to work on such a project. But now, we have it at a cost where we feel we can work with it. We have really needed it for a long time. We ' ve got stuff scattered everywhere; a garage here, a rented storage place there. It is time for a central location. The receiving building will be located on Third Street, south of the Library. There are two vacant lots, there with a house in between them, owned by the College. The house will be removed, and if all goes as planned, the new building will be ready by fall. □ BY LAURA MOORE Pulse 11 s nderson - Judd Gerald Anderson-Business Bob Brennaman-Business Leonard Barnhill-Music Elaine Brown-English Phil Buechner-Math Sue Darby-English Debbie Davis-Health Stan Dyck-Social Science Linda Hargrove-Admissions Connie Harper-Art Don Hastings-Biology Sharon Hill-Speech Carol Hobaugh-Maudlin -Nutrition Economics Don Hughes-Electronics Doug Hunter-Art Joe Isaacson-Accounting Conrad Jimison-Con.

We tried to base this semester ' s course offerings on the needs that were voiced in the September survey she said. Hours of planning are required to make the night schedule run smoothly. It takes a lot of early planning because the schedule goes to the printers so early, she said. After the schedule is made, people still come up the week before classes are to start and say, ' I really need this class, ' but then it is too late. Being able to identify these needs is essential to planning the schedules. We really need to identify the needs about a semester in advance, Maudlin said. Through the survey, Maudlin found a great need for a science class. Our night anatomy physiology class is full, she said. The popularity of the anatomy class has been attributed to the addition of a new LPN program through Cowley. Cowley is going into an LPN program with Butler County, she said. I am sure this is the reason for the science classes filling so quickly. Maudlin wants to fill the needs of workers in Cowley ' s service area. Many workers need courses to upgrade their skills, Maudlin said. Several industries are working to get their non- readers into our reading lab so they can advance. Communication skills are a concern of area workers. I ' m here every evening for the first two to three weeks of the semester to take late enrollments, accept fees, and acquire books for those students who can not go to the bookstore during regular business hours, she said. We just want to meet the needs of our service area, Maudlin said.Q BY KATHYGANN Pulse 13 B ridges - Mclntire Lisa Kahrs FINDS YOUTH AN ASSE TO BUILDING A SQUAD Twenty-one year old cheerleading sponsor Lisa Kahrs has filled in for three women on maternity this year. Now, she finds herself in the same position. In September, the Kahrs are expecting their first baby. I sat in too many pregnant seats, Kahrs said. This was a wonderful surprise for me and my husband. Kahrs feels this pregnancy will not interfere with her sponsorship of the spirit squad and she does not expect to take maternity leave. Kahrs says there is not enough spirit from the student body at Cowley for the sports programs, but she intends to make some changes to raise spirit. Kahrs has been recruiting cheerleaders from local high schools so she can have a squad put together by April 1 . Because male yell leaders will be added to the squad this fall, a new weight requirement of 120 pounds for the women will be strictly enforced. Kahrs ' experiences as a cheerleader and Cowley pompon member qualify her for the position of cheerleading sponsor. Kahrs also feels her age does not hinder her ability to gain respect from the girls on her squad. Carla Carter, a member of Kahrs ' sc agrees with her coach. Because she is younger, we can r to her better. She has helped us a Carter said. Kahrs has definite ideas on what it t to create a quality squad.

That ' s how one might see Mark Buechner and his new bride, Raina Peterson Buechner. But in the 3uechner ' s case, this isn ' t true for this newlywed couple. Mark, a full time student, and his wife each hold down two jobs and still find time to spend with one another. Buechner, currently carrying 13 hours, is working toward a major in pre-cngineering. Besides attending classes and doing homework, Mark works two jobs and still finds time for his new marriage. Buechner was married to Raina Peterson on Oct. 10, 1987, and together, they are beating the odds against a ' young marriage ' with both spouses working outside of the home. Buechner is working at Cowley as a grounds-crewman and at Wal-Mart as a sales clerk. Starting at Wal-Mart in March of 1987, he finds his job as a cashier sales clerk fulfilling. I enjoy working at Wal-Mart mainly because of the people, said Buechner. He enjoys his job at the College but, at periods like late fall, there is not quite as much to do as there is in the summer. Buechner started working two summers ago for the grounds crew at Cowley, and worked this summer as well. His summer job however, carried over into the semester and will continue in the spring. For Mark, classes have been a great start for him. He enjoys the ones he has w his father, math instructor Phil Buechr Mark doesn ' t feel any conflict in tak his dad ' s courses. I just look at taking classes from dac being, well, an advantage because if I e need help with anything I can call or over and talk to him, said Buechner. Having his wife working DMRA FUSS during the day and direct the choir at First Baptist Church as I second job, Mark feels that having wife working is alright. She has a good job at DMRA and lil directing the choir at church. Besid she ' s probably making more than I an joked Buechner. After Cowley, Buechner is looki forward to attending an in-state colle where he will complete a major computer engineering. I use the computerized scanners Wal-Mart, and someday I would like to able to know how to fix them, laugh Buechner. □ B Y BRIAN REE 16 Spring ' 88 Borror - Dunaway MILY CONFERENCE-Mark Buechner d his dad Phil Buechner, math tructor, catch a moment in between isses to talk.

It ' s tough, but I ' ve been known to take on more than I can handle, said Dickinson. Apparently, she ' s having no difficulty handling motherhood eventhough it has made a big difference in her life. Eight-month old Sarah has initiated changes in both Jessica and Charles ' lives. We planned to have kids, but we were going to wait until I finished school. It just didn ' t work out that way, she said. This change of plans did not sit well with Dickinson ' s parents. They weren ' t happy at first but now they don ' t think much of it. They have a granddaughter and they ' re happy as long as I ' m happy, she said. Going to school has caused no con- flicts in the Dickinson ' s marriage. He ' s all for it and wants me to go to school, said Dickinson. It works out because my husband works nights and takes care of Sarah during the day while I go to school. I take care of her at night while he is at work. Dickinson attends Cowley on an instrumental music grant-in-aid and plays in band and jazz band. She ' s an excellent bass clarinet player though her tenor sax is a little bit weaker, said Leonard Barnhill, band director. She ' s never played the level of jazz band music that we ' re trying to play, so she ' s not real familiar with the style but is improving. Dickinson ' s interest in music started in third grade and her musical versatility was a determining factor that helped I receive the grant. I got her name from her band direc and I sent her some information, si Barnhill. She sent it back saying s played several different instrumen primarily bass clarinet and tenor sax jazz band. I needed a person who coi play in both bands. While having a student with children not a new thing for Barnhill, Dickins and her daughter have added a new twisl practices and performances. We have an extra member in ba occasionally when she brings her daugh along but that ' s what happens, S£ Barnhill. I ' ve never had anyone brii kids to practice, some have brought th i to basketball games, but never practice. Because Dickinson ' s husband wor nights, she often brings Sarah to jazz ba performances at home basketball games. She goes to the games, even though makes me have to do a juggling act, si Dickinson. Other band members enjoy having Sai at the games. I really don ' t mind her bringing I baby because she is fun to play with, s;( Susan Thorson, freshman. □ BY KRISTI ADAM Kevin Durham Robert Dye, Jr. Stacy Eaton Sarah Emrick Myra Estep George Farris Tammy Farris Jim Fields Jason Fisher Tim Flying Out Liza Foote Tina Foster Kathy Gann Rob Glenn 18 Spring ' 88 I Goodson - Isaacs Bill Goodson Joel Goyer Pat Gray Tracy Grayum Charles Griesel Jim Griffin Scott Gurnee Lori Ann Gustin Brenda Hadden Heather Hampton Eric Harris Gregg Harsh Gale Hauser Dale Havens Darcy Heaton Julie Hess Aaron Hines Greg Hinz David Holler Chris Holmes Malia Holt Teresa Hopper Kevin Hottinger John Hunkins Frank Hunter Margaret Hunter Donna Ing Mary Irvin Tim Isaacs Pulse 19 a arvis - Lonneke Jeff Jarvis Mike Jarvis Gina Johnson Glenn Johnson Heidi Jordan Mary Jo Jurey Kim Kalbfleisch Sandy Keene Ralph Keener Karen Kelley Janet Kennedy Jeff Kindt Peggy Kindt Cenda King Eric King Karen King Richard King, Jr. John Kralik, Jr. Joel Kropp Jeff Krueger Eric Kurtz Tammy Lambert Marianne Lange Randy Lassley Karen Lawson Charlotte Lee Jeff Leggett Bethellen LeGrand Valerie Leon Doug Lietzke Sabrina Lipton Michelle Loewe Kathy Long Erin Lonneke 20 Spring ' 88 Lowery - McAfee Shannon Lowery Tony Lubbers Marty Mackey Mike Mahlandt Bob Mapel Julie March Anna Marczynski Steve Marr Sharon Martin Shelly Maskrid Denise Massey Tracy Masterson Harvey Mathews Tim McAfee ROCKIN ' REG N A MUSGROVE Keeps those around her in the spirit of things Cutting into the core of Regina Musgrove one would see that her main goal is being involved and supporting those around her.

It was a big change coming from Florida, but was a great decision because the people here are nice, said Musgrove. The athletic program and the coaches here really seem to motivate me.

That distance away from home is not as depressing for Rivera as the weekends here at Cowley. Cowley is an all right school except for on the weekends when everyone goes back to their hometowns, said Rivera. Rivera was raised in a suburb of Lajas, Puerto Rico, a town larger than Arkansas City. It is a nice place to grow up in. The ocean is only 15 minutes from my home. The people are nice, said Rivera. Christmas vacation however was spent not at Cowley but in Lajas. Rivera was welcomed home by his mother, younger brother, and grandparents. He ' s proud his family is of middle class standards which are highly regarded in Puerto Rico. His father is in the Army and stationed in the United States. I wanted to live with my father who was stationed in Junction City, so I decided to move there when I was 15, Rivera said. The only English he knew was the ABC ' S and numbers. Rivera had to learn English at Junction City High School when he enrolled as a sophomore. In Puerto Rico, we speak a Spanish that is a little different than Mexico ' s. I never thought, as a kid, I would have to learn English, said Rivera. While at Junction City High School, Rivera played football and was in the Army Junior ROTC. It was his father ' s influence which helped him decide to join. It was fun because I was in charge of my Junior ROTC group. We had to wear a uniform to school once a week, and met in class everyday, said Rivera. Rivera played basebal l in the American Legion league and the junior league during his summers. But he played baseball in Puerto Rico first. I started playing ball in front of house while I was growing up. We u: a board and a rubber ball for equipment, was more fun than going to the fields ; playing, Rivera said. At the age of 9, Rivera started play in the summer leagues until he movec the U.S. He won 10 trophies during I time and was voted MVP the last th years he lived there. Leaving behind his hometown glc Rivera made his move to Junction C and played baseball in the U.S. sumn leagues. In the American Legion Leagt he recieved the MVP award. I had the second best batting average the American Legion League my sen! year with an average of .444. I was a the leader with 48 RBIs and I had ni home runs, said Rivera. At one of his games in Junction Ci the Philadelphia Phillies scouts came watch him play. They told D 1 Burroughs, former Phillies player and Ik baseball coach for Cowley, about River, Cowley heard of me through Phillie scouts. The Phillies wanted to how well I could do playing college bj The scouts are coming back this spring! see how I ' m doing and maybe even sij me up, Rivera said.

Scott chose Cowley because of its location and its automotive department. I like Cowley because it ' s close to home and it has the highest ranking automotive department in the state, Scott said. Scott also commended Cowley for its friendly atmosphere. It ' s nice to walk around and just talk to anybody because everybody knows you, he said. He became involved in VICA last year and is now president of the local VICA chapter. This involvement has led him to the Region IV Leadership Conference in Columbus, Neb., held Oct. 14 - 18, where he learned how to fulfill VICA responsibilities. From there, he attended the Rock Springs VICA Leadership Conference held at Junction City, where he was elected South Central Distirct President and State vice-president. His involvement also includes intra- mural sports and working weekends on his DISPLAYING THE COLORS-Randy Scott represented VICA at the Presidential Inauguration by carrying the American Flag. (Photo by Julie Reed) work study job to keep up the new dorm. In addition to his College activities, Scott holds down a full time job at Wheeler ' s IGA, during the week. I never have any free time to myself, but I like to keep busy, he said. Family support had also helped him. My dad is happy to see me do something and he ' s supported me the most in more ways than one, he said. Scott ' s plans include transferring to Pittsburg State University to continue studying to be an automotive technician. He also plans on joining VICA there, because he says he ' s realized what VICA can do for him. If you put on a job application that you held a VICA state or national office, then the employer will hire you because industry knows what a person who is part of VICA can do. Leadership is a big part of VICA and industry needs leadership. Scott chose an automotive career be- cause he genuinely enjoys the work. It came easy for me and there ' s so many possibilities in job positions, he said. One position he ' d like to have would allow him to share his attraction to the field with others. I ' d love to teach automotives in high school and also be a track and football coach, he said. □ BY TONYA RUDOLPH Pulse 27 s nook - Thorson Kay Snook Mike Sparks Lexy Spencer Brett Stone Carol Stone Sean Stone Cyd Stout Kathryn Stowell Terry Swinson Tresia Ternes Gerard Thibodeau Kevin Thompson Reggie Thompson Susan Thorson MAKING MUSIC THURBER Tunes into the future of her marriage and career At one time or another we all catch ourselves singing in the shower. For Michelle Thurber, singing means more than the sudsing. Thurber has been singing all her life. When I was a little kid, I loved to sing, said Thurber. I guess though, it really started in junior high school. I sang a song for our school program and got a lot of praise. From then on Thurber took her singing seriously. Thurber sang in musicals in high school, but received most of her experience while attending Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. She was one of the Singing Patriots. It was a good experience, Thurber said. I sang in many churches all over the country. After spending a whole summer traveling and singing, I had racked up a lot of experience. Here, Thurber has other things in mind besides singing. She plans on working after toward a degree in psychology leaving Cowley. On Feb. 7, Thurber wed John Morris, a senior at Southwestern College. She will be completing the spring and summer sessions here at Cowley. Michelle and John hope to go to Strausburg, Germany, where she can work on her bachelors degree. They would like to go to China for another year to study psychology and the culture and language of the country. After returning to the United States their plans call for her husband to enter graduate school and she will finish her degree. When Thurber is not in school, the Winfield native works at the Winfield State Hospital.

In addition to this grueling schedule, were performances at 12 home Dasketball games In addition to the Spring tour iuring second semester, plans were made for a Jazz Concert guest performer.

We ' ve tackled some serious issues this year. There have been some serious and ambitious stories, said Pruitt. Pruitt saw handling issues as the duty of the publication. I think it ' s the duty of a newspaper to keep things stirred up. I think it ' s important for the students to write serious stories while they ' re students rather than having to face them for the first time out in the real world. Another goal Pruitt set I the Cycle staff was for paper to be one of the forerr community college newspat. in the state.

SGA sponsored a commu- nity service project and organized student activities and dances. Our canned food drive helped many needy people in the community during the holidays, Reed said. We also adopted three families, providing them with food and Christmas presents. Mary Dewell, SGA presi- dent feels that member support and an active student body have helped make this year a success. We sponsored a street dance, Halloween party, a Christmas dance and the Homecoming Dance all with a great turnout, said Dewell. To keep the students informed about campus activities, SGA recently purchased information signs for the College to display daily events. Besides in-school functions like dances and elections, there have been a state covention in Great Bend, and quarterly meetings in Wichita to attend. Now that the year is coming to a close, SGA is planning their last fling, Tigerama ' 88. Tigerama is our last big event of the year, said Dewell. We plan to have a picnic, dance, and team competition games. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to organize their teams now in order to prepare for the stiff competition. Sponsors for SGA are Carriasco McGilbra and Forest Smith. □ l-TECH VICA-FRONT ROW: (seated) Lonnie Scobee, Becky Hewitt, Brian Kieffer, Greg Pickle, Rich Horst, Margaret Watkins.

Pulse 37 MEN ' S BASKETBALL For Coach Ron Murphree, the name of the game is recruiting If you want to talk basketball, go to the gymnasium and find Coach Ron Murphree. Murphree will take you into his office, lean back in his chair, prop his feet up on the desk and light up a cigar. Then he ' ll eng age you in a detailed discussion of basketball, ranging from the role of sophomore players to out-of-state recruiting. We ' re looking at helping our sophomores move on. They need to help Cowley first, then there will be time to look at other schools, said Murphree. The sophomore players agree with their coach. A lot of schools are recruiting me, but I want to get things finished here at Cowley and then decide where to go next year, said Tyrone Baldwin, Once the team has finished the season, other sophomores hope to be on their way to Division 1 schools. Several schools have contacted me, said Ben Pierce. I wouldn ' t mind going back to the Chicago area. The task at hand for Murphree is to recruit players to replace departing sophomores. Murphree has definite opinions about the type of player he wants to wear the Cowley uniform. We need talented players because we play in a talented conference, said Murphree. When we recruit we rule out selfish players. We want role players. When it comes to recruiting athletes for the Tigers, Murphree does not differentiate between being athletic director and being basketball coach. Integrity is important to me whether or not I am athletic director, said Murphree. ™ v - ' ■ - ' • m TALKIN ' BASKETBALL-With his cigar lit, Ron Murphree talks on the phone toother coaches, reporters, schools interested in CCCC ' s transferring sophomores, and recruiting for the Tigers.

The fact they ' ve played college level ball here for two years and about 60 ball games at the junior college level is a big plus when they go to the university, said Hargrove. Most universities don ' t recruit junior college players unless they want them to step in and usually start. They don ' t recruit junior college players to sit on the bench or to be role players. The bonds between the players and Hargrove extend beyond the time they spend at Cowley. I still get Christmas cards and Valentine cards 10 to 16 years after I ' ve worked with them, said Hargrove. I don ' t think they think of me as just a coach, I think they think of me as a friend. They can talk to me about problems they have, said Hargrove. Hargrove has been head women ' s basketball coach for 16 years and in that time she ' s posted a 298 and 98 record. Currently, she works with her sister and assisstant Debbie Davis.

In fact, it was the last time Isaacson would ever step into a classroom. His ordeal began with a routine CAT scan, but an accident occured which left Isaacson in a coma. He died Feb. 11, one week after his last day at Cowley. He began his college career in 1963 at Northeastern State College in Tahlequah, Okla., where he received his bachelor ' s degree in Business Administration. Later, he received his master ' s degree in Business Administration from Emporia State University. He also had advanced studies from Wichita State University, Emporia State University and Kansas University. Before coming to Cowley, Isaacson was a teacher at Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, an accountant and auditor, an accounting instructor at Kearney State College, and a realtor. Isaacson began teaching economics at Cowley in 1974. But he was best known as the accounting instructor. He was a person who students liked very well, said Richard Tredway, chairman of the Department of Business and Service Technology. Isaacson wasn ' t just well liked, he was respected, too. Besides being a generally super nice man, he was a good instructor, said sophomore Myra Estep. Isaacson ' s commitment to education and to Cowley went beyond the class- room. He was president of the Arkansas City Teachers ' Credit Union, a past president of the College Education Association, and in 1986 his colleagues recognized him with the highest honor the College bestows on its instructors when they named him the Master Teacher of the year. Students recognized his success was the result of a genuine concern for those he taught. He was a teacher who cared and he helped you, said Lisa Thompson, sophomore. He not only was a teacher, but a friend and colleague. We came the same year (1974) and we spent a great deal of time together, Bob Brennaman, business manager instructor.

It seems they are trying to get back in shape after hibernating all winter with two-for-one pizzas and leftover Girl Scout cookies. Now I don ' t mind a little exercise, but I draw the line at the strange and varied diets my friends have unearthed (in some cases literally) in an effort to slim down. One person I know fasts every Monday, and subsists the other six days of the week on goats milk, tofu, and soybean chili. He tries to offset malnutrition by ingesting vast quantities of vitamins with a big glass of carrot or aloe vera juice. Another friend of mine drinks some type of powder mixed with milk three times a day. I don ' t think she realizes there are the same amount of calories and vitamins in a bowl of Sugar Frosted Flakes as there is in her one glass of wonder diet. Now honestly, which would you rather have? Another friend has been on one of the prepared meal reduction programs that allow so many meals each week. She confessed to me the other day that she had a good six-week surplus of dinners alone but she was afraid to eat them because they might find out about it. One friend ' s diet consists of a series of carefully constructed Dieting Rules. Two of these rules include: food eaten on the way to or from the table does not have any calories in it, and cold mexican food contains absolutely no calories. The same goes for cold pizza. My favorite dieting hint however, came from Liz Taylor. She suggested putting a picture of her, in her Goodyear days, on your refrigerator to give you incentive and willpower. How thoughtful. Honestly, eating healthy is fine by me, and I really do my best to eat right and keep the junk food to a minimum, but if I start to feel on the weighty side, I have devised the perfect diet for me. I just feed the dog a can of Alpo-Lite, and we both feel much better for it. □ Wfc W ABOUT THE COVER-This issue is a celebration of the close of the school year and the arrival of summer just around the corner.

If our job is to train students who are going to survive in today ' s society, it ' s a necessity they be taught about computers, Schwintz said. The significance of computers in American society has pro- moted changes in Cowley cur- riculum. When we started our com- puter program six or seven years ago, computer instruc- tion was fairly new to jun- ior colleges, Schwintz said. Schwintz has seen Cowley ' s computer program grow in that short amount of time. Cowley only had the Main Frame and four personal compu- ters on Campus seven years ago, but now we have 115 to 120 computers, he said. Some might find the birth of the computer program a big problem to overcome but not Schwintz. I look at it as a challenge to operate in what I call the ' Sunrise ' where new things are happening, Schwintz said. Schwintz never finds the computer programs boring. In some areas of education, like history, you know the outcome of the Civil War will never change, but with computers, what you learn today is outdated tomorrow, Schwintz said. Schwintz has kept abreast of the newest concepts for computers. I have gone to workshops to keep up with what is going on, he said. Keeping up with the changes has apparently paid off. In recognition of his contributions to computer education, Schwintz and 14 other agriculture instructors were invited to Chicago to represent their respective states at a viewing of marketing videos. The 15 instructors spent several days viewing and editing the videos on marketing of agriculture products. These videos deal with marketing and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Schwintz said. Schwintz knew about the CME, but until March had never visited it and that was an opportunity he looked forward to. The reality matched his expectations. It is exciting to see all th e trading going on, Schwintz said. It can get really wild with cattle futures being traded in one pit, wheat futures traded in another, and foreign currency traded in still another. Even gold and silver are traded at the CME. The : atmosphere is definitely wild and crazy on (Please continue on page 34) Puis Beating the odds GAIL RUSH succeeds in life with a positive attitude It is an unusually warm day in February so she decides to walk the long way around Galle-Johnson Hall to Renn Memorial Library. She momentarily pauses before leaving to call ahead for someone to let her in. As she cautiously makes her way around the block, her thoughts are on an impending interview not on the disfiguring skin disease that has deprived her of so much and yet given her incentive to bec ome the most she can be. I was tired of being at home and I wanted to get my GED, said 24-year old Gail Rush . That ' s why she chose to come to Cowley in 1984. The desire to get her GED was fueled by faculty members who believed she could do more. I didn ' t know there was that much work in it. I was really motivated very slowly and Mrs. Eaton worked with me so I ' ve changed a lot, said Rush. Two years later she recieved her GED and began taking regular classes at a slow pace. I ' m taking part time classes because it ' s hard for me to take a full course, said Rush. Rush, along with her younger sister Robyn, suffer from Epidermolysis Bullosa, which means the affected person lacks their third layer of skin. This disease is characterized by cycles of blistering and open sores which become scars. These continuous cycles lead to the fusion of the fingers and toes as well as immobilization of the arms and legs, leaving the victim with club-like hands and feet. Before either daughter was born the Rush ' s knew there was a possibility their children might have the disease. After Gail was born, the doctors said there was a remote possibility that a second child could be born with the disease, but that it was highly unlikely. I believe we ' re the only family in the United States with two children who have the disease, said Sandy Rush, Gail ' s mother. This disorder also proves to be painful. The girls don ' t move without pain, said Gail ' s mother. The hardest part is to watch them hurt. Pain is something Rush has lived with all her life. A simple scraped knee could Sometimes I felt like giving up, but I didn ' t because my family was with me. -Gail Rush cost her her life. This has prompted parents to take precautionary measures That ' s one of the reasons we h always tried to keep the girls at h when they were younger because if fall and get hurt very badly-like breal the skin they could die before we get t to the hospital, said Sandy Rush. Her parents precautionary measi were for her own good but they prov some lonely experiences. It (growing up) was sort of lones because I couldn ' t be with the other and do the activities like they do school, said Rush. I had school mai at home because they were afraid that kids wouldn ' t understand that they coul run into us. So, we had to study home. For a very short time, Rush attem public school at the middle school le but found the expectations to be high. At school, they expected us to be with everyone else and we couldn ' t han a full day of school because sometimes would be sick, said Rush. Along with the hardships of miss out on so much, Rush also had to end the seemingly harmless teasing by 1 peers. They were afraid they ' d get the dise; or they ' d tease us and say that we w burned and stuff like that, recalled Rus; Tough times might make most peo give up their goals but through the lc and support of her family, Rush k trying. Sometimes I felt like giving up bi didn ' t because my family was with me i I figured it had to get better instead worse, she said. Graduation ' 8 8 (hough Rush has weathered difficult she has had happy times as well, hen I got my GED that made me happy, she said. Being TNT ' s tentative to SGA and being able to school and have friends, have been igh points for me. 100I is important to Rush and like one else, she wonders how she is in her class. i doing fine but sometimes I wonder ise I ' m not really skilled in some of hings I ' m doing. I realize that ' s ise I didn ' t have the opportunity to learn them at home, said Rush. Although she lacks important background information in many subjects, she ' s catching up. The teachers here understand I didn ' t have much at home for background and they ' re coping with that and helping me to understand, she said. After having Rush in class, Chris Vollweider has only positive things to say about her attitude. I ' ve never heard her say one negative thing, said Vollweider. She ' s a very cheerful young lady. She ' s an inspiration because she doesn ' t let her limitations stop her. Being the first of two children with the same disease, it is only natural that the older one helps the younger to understand and cope. I try to give Robyn courage because she is trying to get her GED and she doesn ' t have very much self esteem, said Rush. I try to help but sometimes she feels that maybe I know more than she does and I ' m trying to show her that I ' m not real smart and that she can be as smart (Please continue on page 34) ERCOMING THE ODDS-Gail Rush, who is afflicted with Epidermolysis Bullosa has been able to overcome her disease and sue an education at Cowley.

In order to reach their destination, the club members purchased their plane tickets and Phi Theta Kappa covered the cost of the hotel and registration fees for the group through various fundraising projects and concession stand proceeds. Thirteen members of PTK including three members from the new alumni chapter at Southwestern in Winfield accompanied Jim Miesner, PTK club sponsor, to the convention. Once there, they attended national meetings and state caucuses where national and local issues were discussed. Dinner banquets featuring speakers Nancy Kassebaum and Jeanne Kirkpatrick were the big draw every evening. And later on, dances featuring live bands and recorded music and doorprizes got everyone aquainted. During Nancy Landon-Kassenbaum ' s address, Sheila Whyde, PTK state president, presented Kassenbaum with a t-shirt bearing the PTK Kansas state motto Brains of the Plains designed by Hutchinson County Community College.

GOES T In between meetings and elections, the group was able to squeeze in visits to some of Washington D.C. ' s most popular historical monuments. The Metro (Washington D.C. ' s subway system) made getting around easy, said Miesner. You could go almost anywhere for about 80 cents. Tours included the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, The Vietnam Memorial, and the Smithsonian Institute which houses 14 museums with a total collection of over 100 million pieces. Approximately one percent of all the items are displayed at any given time. Between the 14 members, they covered the Museums of Natural History and American History, the zoo, art museum, Aerospace Center, and the Victorian Gardens.

Pulse Making a gray educatioi A look at the changes in today ' s art classrooms. STW So you want to be a teacher, eh? Those planning to major in primary education have all heard that comment from their counselor. They also know that one course they ' ll be taking to complete their degree requirements is Art Methods. The class deals with students becoming elementary school teachers, said art instructor Doug Hunter. It gives students a chance to really get prepared for being teachers. There are three basic parts to the art methods course, plan, practice, and present. The kids are working now on developing simple art projects to put in their art notebooks and on their games project, said Hunter. I ' m really big on the notebook, I try GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS-Doug Hunter and Gregg Atkinson plan interesting design for Atkinson ' s Easter project. (Photo by John Bernhardt to get them checked each week to make sure the kids are adding new ideas for art projects. When these guys transfer on to another college to finish their education, these notebooks are really going to come in handy, students who go on to Southwestern in Winfield will find themselves well prepared for their next two years, said Hunter. Students enrolled in the class take their notebooks seriously. I haven ' t decided yet what my major is going to be, but I want to leave the field of education open, said sophomore Gregg Atkinson. I ' m getting my notebook ready so if I decide to go into the teaching profession, I ' ll be ready to go to work with the kids. Part of the course final is the completion of an educational game can be used in the classroom. I ' ve got one group of kids thi suggested to, the idea of a Kansas gai and they have really gone to town on said Hunter. I just hope, said Mike Sparks, I we can get it finished, because I think can really do something with the game. If the kids get it done, I am hop that we can get it copyrighted. Stude will be required to have Kansas histt before too long, and this game if they i do it, would be a teriffic educational ti for classrooms all over the state. Tl could really make some money if tl wanted to, said Hunter. The third part of the couse is t 10 Graduation ' 8 8 ft T WAITING FOR MR.

The school does not have a special art instructor, so it ' s up the the regular classroom teacher to come up with the projects, said Hunter. If you are going into teaching or just thinking about it, this is o ne super strong opportunity to get in there with the children and find out what it is really going to be like, said Hunter. You can really add some color into the classroom if you want to. □ BY LAURA MOORE .fFlMSPC ME TOO CHILDREN ' S WEAR Children ' s Wear Clothing - Toys - Accessories Free Gift Wrapping Sizes: New Born - 14 Years Dorothy Burkhart Owner Bring in this magazine and receive a 15% discount off the total non-sale items. 116 South Summit Arkansas City 442-8373 Pulse 11 DREAM DATE For Carla Carter and Johnny Velasquez, $500 bought an evening they won ' t soon forget. I couldn ' t believe it was happening to me. I was so happy, said Carter. Carter and Velasquez ' s date began at 12:30 p.m. on March 30 with a facial and manicure for Carla from Cowley ' s Cosmetology Department. After her beauty treatment, she eceived a dozen long stemmed oses, a corsage and boutonniere of peach roses from McCool ' s Flowers. The couple chauffered from Nelson Student Center to Strother Field in a white limousine courtesy of Rindt-Erdman Funeral Home and driven by Harold Lake. From Strother Field, the couple was flown in a Cessna 421 twin-engine airplane to Ponca City, by Mel Current owner and president of Current Aircraft. This was an unforgettable part of the evening because it was the first time either had flown. I was so nervous when we took off, said Carter. But her white-knuckled grip on the seat soon wore off and she was able to enjoy the beautiful view of Kansas below her. I think the plane ride was the best part of the whole thing, said Velasquez. But the plane ride was only the beginning of this dream date. Upon arrival at Ponca City, the couple was chauffered by Tracy Masterson in a 1968 red Mustang convertible to Kaw Lake for what was to be romantic sailing on the lake. But the day was too windy to sail, so Curt Freeland, Ark City city manager, took the couple for a substitute speedboat ride. After boating, Carter and Velasquez were chauffered, to the Marland Mansion where they took a leisurely stroll around the spacious grounds. After their walk, they reti to the Congressional Sui the Conference Center gourmet dinner catered by Shadoin of American 1 Management.

Pulse 19 WEEKEND HIGH The planes were lined in seemingly endless rows resembling soldiers standing at attention. Each wheel was precisely centered in the three-foot-square yellow box pilots are required to maneuver into before leaving the plane. My heart pounded as I dreamed of taking off and no one held me back. Visions of flying seemed even clearer as I looked at the multi-million dollar planes blocked with 25 cent wood chunks at the wheels. Seeing the F-4s and the F-16s gave me the same thrill it had since I was a child, and die planes ' avaricious look of power left me chomping at the bit. What ' s a journalism student doing at drill weekend? asked a guardsman. It was a question I was asked all weekend. My mission for the weekend of March 4-5 was to learn exactly what the Reservists do in the Air National Guard. The 184th Tactical Fighter Group took me under their wings to educate me about the Guard. Reservists serve their country, make money, and enjoy themselves without being on active duty. A reserve weekend goes something like this. March 4, 1988 6:00 It was dark when I woke to get ready to go to McConnel Air Force Base (MAFB). I asked myself why I was up this early instead of asleep. 6:40 I started driving but had to stop for doughnuts since I was not accustomed to waking up this early. I was excited! I didn ' t know what was going to happen, but I was looking forward to it. 7:10 As I drove, it started to snow. This really bummed me out because I ' was afraid the plans would be ruined. 7:40 I arrived at MAFB and went through the battle of finding a parking place. The congestion in the lot reminded me of Towne West during the Christmas season. I made my way into the recruiting office to meet Master Sgt. Mains and Staff Sgt. Swibold who coordinated my weekend. 8:00 First I saw the Tactical Control Flight Building. The radar systems are kept there to help track the enemy as well as know the location of planes in the sky. 8:30 The next stop was the Engine Shop where millions of dollars are spent in parts and over-hauls to keep the en- gines in top condition. It was hard for me to imagine that a part the size of a quarter could cost $25,000. 9:10 Next on my list was the Hush House. Here planes are tested after major engine work has been finished. The Hush House quiets the noise of the planes that at full throttle produces an after burner. Seeing the after burner sent a series of shock waves through my body. The intake of the plane formed a suction that made me feel I would be swallowed into the engines. 11:00 It was time for lunch in tl Chow Hall. This is comparable to oi cafeteria in every way except it wj crowded where ours is not. The food wasn ' t great, but it wasn ' t bad as they show on TV war movies. 12:15 Trying to digest my dinner, I £ to Operations. This is where pilots mal their strategic plans. I learned how the pilots eject from F- and F-16 seats in emergencies. It onl takes two seconds to be ejected. 1:15 My next adventure was trying o pilots ' headgear. Putting on the helmet was awkwan especially when I had to hook up th oxygen mask that had a built i microphone. Once the mask was place, a flow of 100 percent oxygej started. Breathing deeply, the rush of pur oxygen made the helmet feel like a brick The microphone picked up my breathinj and sounded like a horror film soundtrac 20 Graduation ' 8 8 _L ' ER UP-Preparing an F-4 for flight, Crew Chief Tony Allmond performs last nute checks, from filling the plane with fuel to checking the bolts and flaps on wings. (Photo by Rob Glenn) PRACTICE PILOT-Rob Glenn can not hide his delight after trying out his flying skills in the flight simulator. playing in my head. 1:45 Still in the Operations Building, I went to the Flight Simulator. This is a cockpit pilots practice in before they go up. It ' s like flying a plane, but never leaving the ground. A keyboard control behind the simulator can make it malfunction. In training situations, pilots are faced with complications that could happen in the air. For the first time in my life, I was in the pilot ' s seat flying, even if only in the simulator. I was nervous about flying. It seemed so realistic and I was afraid of crashing, but I never did. I felt like I was flying, at least the guages told me I was. The windows on the cockpit were covered so I couldn ' t see out. The day I would get to fly a plane seemed more realistic than ever. 3:00 To finish my day, I went to Job Control and the Maintenance Hanger. Job Control knows where every F-4 and F-16 is located, whether in flight, on ground, or being worked on. This is a highly controlled area to keep spies from entering. If an intruder forced his way in, classified information could be found. Minor mechanical repairs are made in the Maintenance Hanger. Each hanger holds eight planes depending on size and the work being done. I felt like I was in a huge gymnasium, except planes took the place of bleachers. The planes seemed larger when indoors. 3:45 At the recruiting office I received orders for Sunday. I was anxious to return t o learn more about the Guard. March 5, 1988 10:00 I arrived at MAFB and my first stop of the day was the Clinic. Minor emergencies, blood tests, and physicals are performed here. Ironically, the Clinic has more injuries from the Chow Hall, such as cuts and burns, than from anywhere else. 11:00 My next stop was the Supplies (Please continue to page 25) Pulse 21 When the sun burns bright and you ' re looking for something to spice up those long summer days stop by your local variety stores for a look at what ' s hot for summer fun in ' 88.

Swibold took me back to the Recruiting office where I received a certificate stating I was a Guardsman for a Day. I wished the weekend would have lasted longer because I was having so much fun. It was much better then sitting in my dorm room with nothing to do. 4:30 In the lounge, I took it easy with the guardsmen before heading home. The Flight Line impressed me the most because I got to deal with the planes. I was there to help them into the air. I felt as though I really was a part of the Guard. I have always wanted to fly and this experience confirmed it. □ BY ROB GLENN FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WINFIELD Member F D I C .MAIN BANK 900 MAIN. 221 1 650 ' SOUTH MOTOR BANK 1421 MAIN. • EAST MOTOR BANK 1905 CENTRAL.

The tigers bring back only three players from last year. Mike Sparks, Jim Barnthouse and Randy Lassley all have shown good leadership for us, said head coach Dave Burroughs. The sophomores also realize what ' s expected of them. He does expect more of us as leaders since we ' ve been here longer, said Mike Sparks. The Tigers, however, have some advantages from being a young team. We ' re at an even point by being a young team, said Brian Bush. We ' ll be a much better team next year because we ' ll have more experience, said Doug Lietzke. Experience is also being gained by head coach Dave Burroughs. Burroughs began coaching at Cowley this year and had a 6-5-1 fall season record. He ' s one of the best coaches I ' ve had, said Luis Rivera. He ' s handled everything well for a first year coach and he got us on track, said Bush. According to Sparks, the change of coaches has been an improvement. He ' s a hundred percent better than last year. He knows what he ' s doing. Burroughs previously had coached two years at Bacone Juinor College in Muskogee, Oklahoma, posting bothe winning seasons. He has also coached seven to eight years of summer baseball. Burroughs is not only thought of as a coach, but as a friend too. He ' s more than a coach, he ' s also a friend, said Rivera. He can be a nice guy, but tough when he needs to be. He ' s expected a lot out of us because he ' s been with us all the way, said Bush. He set goals for us. One goal did come true for the team thanks to the support of others. In the fall, the team held a whiffle ball marathon Tigers gain momentum with a new team and new coaches SWING INTO ACTION-Dallas Jones gets a hit off of Hutchinson while teammates J.D.

After 100 innings whiffle ball, the team had raised enoi money from local businesses $ supporters to buy new uniforms that tl needed. I think the uniforms add class CCCC ' s baseball program and to school, said Dallas Jones. They ' re good uniforms, said B$ l Mapel. The team also bought new blajji Cowley jackets. But according to coach Burroughs, I uniform doesn ' t always make the team. In baseball you need timing, rhytl and continuity, he said. Timing, however, wasn ' t on the Tigi side at the beginning of the season, j the action the team saw was cancellati reports due to bad weather. As a rest; Cowley started out the season slower th! usual. We did start out slow, but we ' alright, said Burroughs. Baseball is filled with peak: ai 28 Graduation ' 8 8 ileys and sometimes when we tried to ! over the hump, we ' d hit a wet spot and je down again. The team has a good outlook though. We ' ve got a good team, we just need get our stuff together and the season 111 be good, said Sparks. We ' re showing good improvement, jded Jody Sherwood. Burroughs praised the performances of lr Tiger players. Mike Butler and Mike Sparks are ing a good job with pitching, he said. Kike Parker and Randy Lassley are o doing a great job both on defense and : ' ense. The team attributes most of their ility to the coaching staff. The coaches are experienced and it pws, said Mapel. With experience to back up good aching, Cowley baseball will continue kbuild on the good base it has built. □ Y TONYA RUDOLPH HURLING A FAST ONE-Jody Sherwood lobs a fast ball past a Hutchinson player during the first game of a double-header on March 25.

(Photo by Debbie Aldridge) RIVAL MATES What happens when team rivals become teammates? It ' s a situation the women ' s softball team has faced all year long. According to Ed Hargrove, head coach, they ' ve learned to cope with it well. The neat thing about this year ' s team is that they all are from Wichita and the surrounding area and most of them were rivals at one time, he said. Although the rivalry may have caused tension at the beginning of the academic year, it didn ' t last long. It was hard at first because I remember some of the girls as being tough to play against in high school, said Julie Ott, sophomore pitcher. But after getting know them, everything worked out. Freshman Sabrina Lipton said she I the tension most at the first practice. I was hesitant about it (playing w rivals) at first because some calls that w made against me in high school, involv some of our current team members. I now I ' ve gotten to know the other te; members and they ' re fun, Lipton said. The earlier rivalries between te; members haven ' t hampered the Tige performance this year. At press time t squad boasts an 11-3 overall record, 6-0 the Conference and 7-0 in Region | Important wins came over Allen Cour and Johnsdn County, both tou opponents and arch rivals. The Johnson County victory w especially sweet because of a controven surrounding the competition from 1; year. Last year we run-ruled them when th were ranked tenth in the nation, sa Hargrove. They walked off the field ai later filed a protest letter saying th feared for the safety of their team membe because of our rowdy fans and thd complained the umpire missed a call. Their luck was to be no better this ye 1 The Tigers downed them in a doub header 11-3 and 13-5. It was great, Hargrove said. They hi been told they would finish the gam regardless of what happened and I had ask some fans to cheer only posith things because they were coming down c them pretty hard. It was a good win f us. Hargrove says one reason the wins ai especailly sweet this year is because tl squad has overcome their earlier rivalries. We ' re probably a stronger team no because they were first rivals, he sai Once they overcame disliking each othe because they had played as high schoc opponents, they really became close kni They still kid each other about being fror different schools but there ' s a definite prid in being from the Wichita area, bein team leaders and pulling together for th same goals. □ BY S.

(Photo by John rnhardt) It ' s fun for me because when you teach professionally you become involved with one person or a group of kids. -Larry Grose, Tennis Coach Is there a better job for an ol ' tennis bum than being a tennis coach? According to Larry Grose, head tennis coach, the an- swer is unequivocally No. Grose, a former tennis standout for Ark City High School, has taught tennis professionally for 1 1 years. But coaching the sport is a different ball game. I taught a lot of tennis camps in Illinois and Oklahoma, he said, but it (coaching) is a new situation for me because I have never been involved in the team concept. Grose says he ' s enjoying coaching the Tigers. It ' s fun for me because when you teach professionally, you become involved with one person or a group of kids. You are working more in terms of stroke development and game development rather than in taking a team from here to there, he said. Grose has seven men on his first tennis team. Six of them were recruited by last year ' s coach Rob Alexander. Brian Shaw, Arkansas City sophomore, walked on at semester to play for Grose and that ' s an addition Grose likes to talk about. Shaw has surfaced as our number one player, he said. Mark Beal (Wichita freshman) has the number two position and the number three, four and five spots are still a toss-up. One of the guys will win one day and the next day another will win. Grose is glad he has time in this season to recruit for the 1988-89 squad. When they hired me for the job in February, one of the primary reasons they hired me early instead of waiting until school was out, was to allow me to get some kids in here for next year, he said. When Grose was hired the College also decided to add a women ' s program for the 1988-89 season and that has presented him a few problems. I ' m having all kinds of trouble with the women ' s program because in Kansas the women play in the fall and their season is already over, he said. Many of the girls I (Please turn to page 34) VE Pulse 33 (RUSH-Continued from page 7) as she wants to be. For the past three years, Rush has wished for a car but has yet to get one because of the expense and the possibility of injury if she is in an accident. But this hasn ' t stopped her from setting other goals. Someday I want to graduate from here and I ' d like to work somewhere part-time or live in an apartment with somebody, she said. As for a special someone in Rush ' s life, she smiled her child-like grin and said, I haven ' t got anyone right now but I ' m hoping someday their will be. (TENNIS-Continued from page 33) have contacted have already made a decision where they will be going next fall, but I have found some good prospects. Grose ' s recruiting philosophy is one of community spirit. We are inviting all the Cowley County kids to play at Cowley, Grose said. I ' ve sent out packets to all the Winfield and Arkansas City seniors to invite them to our program. Grose is committed to considering local talent first. When I interviewed for the job, Dr. McAtee asked me what my philosophy was and what I wanted to do with the program. I said I wanted to take care of the local kids first and then go out and seek some other Kansas kids, Grose said. I ' ve ohn D. Seitz, D.D.S. (General Dentistry) £ 2522 N.

It can get better as I get older, but I ' m not ever going to get rid of it. If I think about the sores in a way that I ' m never going to get better, people aren ' t going to like me, she said. I just think about the everyday things everybody else thinks about. I only think about my skin disease when I have to deal with it in everyday situations but I don ' t just sit at home and sulk about it because it ' s not going to do any good. □ BY KRIST I ADAMS focused all my efforts in the state and have not made any contacts outside Kansas. One plus for Cowley ' s recruiting program is the availability of inside tennis courts. We have access to the indoor courts in the Agri-Business Building, Grose said. The squad uses the indoor courts in the Agri-Business Building and that assures the players practice time in inclement weather. Members of this year ' s squad include: Brian Shaw, Arkansas City , sophomore; Mark Beal, Wichita freshman; Jim Brown, Wichita sophomore; David Colquhoun, Arkansas City freshman; Rich Kautz, Conway Springs freshman; Joel Kropp, Winfield sophomore; and Eric Kurtz, Winfield freshman. □ BY K A T H Y G A N N MID KANSAS FEDERAL (M 442-6700 MID KANSAS FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION 125 N.
