l Buckaroos, urban cowboys and down home country boys enjoy he Chuckwagon Hoedown brought out buckaroos and urban cowboys from Florida to California as well as the down home country boys from Kansas. Sponsored by the Dorm Council and American Food Management, the festivities included a western barbecue, mechanical bull riding, calf roping and horse shoe pitching.. Prizes for the various events were pro- vided by Coca Cola Bottling Company and the college admissions staff. These prizes ranged from ice chests to T-shirts. The track team took first place in overall team events. The prize for their efforts was a Sunkist patio umbrella, donated by Coca Cola Bottling Company. Blaine Crocker, sophomore, won the steer roping event and the calf tie-down. Darryl Lynch, sophomore, won first place in the mechanical bull riding.

The Dorm Council decided on a western theme for its first event of the year. We were trying to get away from the traditional dances, said Buddy Rhodes, Dorm Council treasurer, it's time for new things, he added. This was an experiment as we didn't know how it would go over with such a diverse group of students, Dave Peyton said. Everything turned out fine and everyone said they enjoyed themselves. Some of these kids had never even seen a mechanical bull, much less ridden one, Peyton said. I'd say it went over real well. According to Shurlene Mitchell, freshman from Liberal, the highlight of the evening was watching all those guys from New York and Chicago trying to do the Cotton-eyed joe.

Eff. 1 Y. New location leads to new name snack bar, SGA gave away 310 Buster Bars, which were pur- chased at a discount from the local Dairy Queen. Food Service Manager Dave Peyton hoped that the new Buster Bar would serve as more than just a place to eat. I'd like students to see this as a place where they can relax, socialize and even play cards if they want to, Peyton said. The snack bar utilized daily specials, at a cost of 51.89, to encourage the students to eat there. Every Wednesday we serve Mexican food as our special, Peyton said. It seems to be the kids' favorite. Among other items included on the menu were Bronc Burgers, Big George Burgers, cold sandwiches and the usual side dishes of french fries or potato chips. On the lighter side, the Buster Bar also pro- vided a soup and salad bar. The snack bar moved from its previous location in the Student Center to the Penka Building. According to Peyton, it was not an easy move. It means a lot more work for me, but the central campus location is more convenient for the students and faculty, Peyton said. 4, . This location allows students to purchase a quick snack or drink between classes and the food is more nutritious than the products offered in the vending machines, Peyton explained. To further accommodate the students, Peyton extended the hours to include Sunday even- ings, since the cafeteria served only breakfast and lunch on that day. ' Many students in the dorms don't have transporta- tion to get to a third meal on Sunday if they want one, so this will really benefit those students, Peyton said.
