wealth of achievements Some would think a small university out in the middle of the Kansas heartland would be unimposlng, unimpressive and w ' ' out much merit outside its own confines. In other circumstances this might be true, but not at Fort Hays State University. Although we boast a smaller enrollment than some of our sister schools, our achievements are numerous. It would be remiss to discuss FHSU achievements without consideration of our sports teams. Although they are only a small part of the total picture, they have brought us much glory. The men ' s basketball team ' s two national championships and general record of excellent playing rank at the top of this impressive list. The football team with its winning season, the volleyball team which deserved to go to nationals but was shortchanged, the women ' s basketball team who came oh so close to a chance at the national title and ail of the other athletes who portray sportsmanship and dedication bring honor and respect to FHSU. In the world of academics a major archeological find in northwest Kansas can be credited to our programs. Our high academic standards produce many fine educators, business people, sociologists, nurses, accountants and agriculturists who will go forth to accomplish great feats. Not to be forgotten are the artistic and humanistic accomplishments wrought from this institution. The theater productions, art exhibits and musical productions not only bestow an expanded horizon upon those who take the opportunity to view them, but provide the university with another example of our significance as an institution of higher education. It is natural to cite past students and their achievements. Harder, perhaps, is imagining the future accomplishments of this year ' s students, but these achievements are one of the subtle differences future students will distinguish us by. - Denise Riedel Famous for his expressive mannerisms during games, Tiger basketball men ' s coach. Bill Morse, displays emotion during a game. Morse has led the team to two national championships. Although the team was edged out of the national tournament this year by Emporia State University, they still compiled an impressive 25-9 record, (photos by Monty Davis) 6 - Opening
