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.

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.

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.
