I was always heavily in¬ volved in extracurricular activities. Lee Iacocoa From the desk of the editor. . . . The 1,734 four-year colleges all over the United States provide in- tellectual growth and development for the country’s future leaders. So, what is the difference in attend- ing a small or a large college? The educational curriculum is basically the same. The professor are as smart (or otherwise) as each other, depending on how much exposure they have had. However, a small college offers an opportunity that is often restricted at a big university. Many of my friends from big universities said that it is difficult to enter a club or organization. Often, the current leaders gang up to ensure the invincibility of their group and deny participation of others. Applications have to be submitted and you have to go through an orientation. Many of us fail to realize that this does not transpire at our small in¬ stitution. All that is required is a show of hands. The involvement and participation in the various clubs and organizations provide an in-depth development of leadership. Besides, getting involved provides the opportunity to live in the society, which is very essential in our cosmopolitan world. As consumers, we have to learn to be interdependent. From getting involved, we learn how to interact and delegate responsibilities. It is essential to realize that we have to collaborate with others to achieve our goals. We have to give our unyielding support at all times. So, let’s take advantage of the small campus of Park and get involved. GET INVOLVED 3 What are the advantages of attending a small college? They really make you think that you are a student attending a good college instead of a number in a big institution. Tom Stachowski Baltimore, Maryland People know who you are. Vve been to big colleges and there you are just a number. Pat Allen Kansas City, Missouri 4 GET INVOLVED r You receive more one-to-one help from your professors. Rhonda Conner Independence, Missouri The friendship and understanding among the students, the staff, and the faculty. Sharon Foster Lansing, Michigan Small colleges provide students with significant opportunities to become involved in activities that foster individual maturation. Small colleges provide a liberal arts education for a lifetime—one in step with today’s world. Small colleges provide high quality education to all kinds of students. Small colleges focus on the education of the undergraduate student. Small colleges emphasize values. Small colleges are financially and administratively efficient. At small colleges, leadership can make a difference. Small colleges offer curricula and a teaching environment with important advantages. Small colleges engender enormous commitment from their “families.” GET INVOLVED 5 Fidos Libor E � 1875 d Dear Stud ents: Get involved!

Blanton, a native of St. Louis, was graduated from University of Notre Dame with a major in English and earned a J.D. from the University of Missouri School of Law. He received his master of arts in English from Loyola University of Chicago and his Ph.D. in higher educa¬ tion administration from St. Louis University. Blanton came to Park in the summer of 1984 as Vice President Dean of Faculty and has held that position since. “I like the self-confidence students here develop. It could be the close interaction with the faculty,” Blanton said. Vice President for College Relations Charles J. “Chuck” Edwards is one of the two Park graduated vice presidents. Edwards received his bachelor’s degree at Park in 1942 and returned to Park in 1958 as Director of Alumni Relations. He left Park in 1968 “to give the first alumni president, Donald Mackenzie, a chance to develop the alumni program.” Edwards returned to Park in 1979 as Vice President for College Relations.

BOON SJANG NEE Latin culture brought to campus Christophe Samyn The Latin American Club spon- sored National Hispanic Week from Sat., Sept. 12 to Sat., Sept. 19. The various events included a trip to Barney Allis Plaza; Jose Martinez, the Royals’ third base coach spoke; a Hispanic buffet with a fashion show to follow; “Fiesta Latina,” a dance held in Herr House lounge; and finally, the entering of a float and costumes in the “Parkville Day” celebration. On Wednesday, Sept. 16, the club held a dinner and fashion show in the Commons. After dinner, several members exhibited their ethnic cos¬ tumes. Vince Carillo introduced each person and described where their costumes originated and where they were worn. Jose Martinez spoke to Park College students, faculty and staff on Thurs., Sept. 17. His general message was that you have to work to achieve your goals. He stated, “If you (just) wish, you are never going to accom¬ plish anything.” Martinez explained that he likes to have time to talk to people. Asked about the media and its distortation, Martinez said, “the press blows situations out of propor¬ tion.” Martinez continued by saying that in order to “get ahead” or better 12 HISPANIC WEEK ROB LARSEN Jose Martinez speaks to the Park community. themselves, people must make sacrifices. He said, “If you don’t make sacrifices, then you don’t deserve to move ahead.” Martinez said that he was happy to be the third base coach of the Kansas City Royals. “We can all benefit from experience. Someone is looking for you to make a mistake. We all make mistakes. I hope I don’t make too many,” Martinez said. The ceremony ended when Patty Diaz, the Latin American president, presented Jose Martinez with a Park College jacket, plaque and a mug. In addition to the dance that was held on Fri., Sept. 18, the final event was Sat., Sept. 19. The club entered their float and costumes in the “Parkville Days” parade. The club captured the first place trophy. Shortly after the parade, sponsor Vera Johnson said, “I couldn’t believe it, I asked the man to repeat it!” Johnson accepted the trophy and spread the news to the members of the club, who scurried to see the soccer game against Rockhurst.

Parkville Days Parkville Days always holds treasures for everyone. This year was no different. The crafts and nostalgia astounded most natives. The annual parade captivated young and old alike. Park College’s own Latin American Club won first prize for their float. Main Street was lined with craft and food booths. People crowded the streets and sidewalks to catch a glimpse of the parade and the Little Miss Parkville and Little Mr. Muscle contests. There was also a concert in English Landing Park where some of our fellow Parkites sold concessions. The main event on the campus that weekend, though, was the soccer game against Rockhurst. Unfortunately, it ended in defeat for the fighting Pirates. Still, all things considered Parkville Days can only be deemed a success.

R03 LARSEN Drug test, searches out Breckon tells forum The elimination of drug testing and unwarrented “illegal” searches of dorm rooms were announced by President Don Breckon at his first Presidential Student Forum. A former city mayor, the new president, however, warned stu¬ dents he will not tolerate any viola¬ tions of the shared values of the Park Community. The president stressed the im¬ portance the Park community should give to shared values upheld by the Mission Statement of the college, but added that he expected voluntary compliance with these values. “ looked the other way and pretended not to see , at a soccer meet yesterday , when a bottle of wine was discreetly moved under a blanket , but will not look the other way when intoxication oc¬ curs , or when alcohol use leads to violence . 99 President Breckon “The rights of the majority must supercede the rights of the individual,” Breckon said. “Students who disregard the rights of the majority should be prepared to suffer the consequences. “I would prefer not to suspend students as I have done this semes¬ ter. I would prefer not to press legal charges against students as 1 have done this semester. I would prefer not to ask the Parkville Police to patrol the campus as well as the city as I have done this semester. “I looked the other way and pretended not to see, at a soccer meet yesterday, when a bottle of wine was discreetly moved under a blanket, but I will not look the other way when intoxication occurs, or when alcohol use leads to violence.” Although the drug testing pro¬ vision has been eliminated, Breckon said he would institute severe penalties if drugs are sold or distributed on campus. “I’ve also ordered an end to what I consider to be illegal searches of dorm rooms, but I will ask for per¬ mission for a search warrant if need be,” Breckon said. IN HIS OPENING statement, Breckon apprised the students on the projects he, in consultation with other administrators, is initiating to reduce the cash flow problem, cut fixed costs and increase revenue. “Some of these are beginning to take effect,” Breckon said. “Some are painful, but are in the best in¬ terest of the college.” Breckon said he will be actively pursuing the recovery of $300,000 to $400,000 owed to the college in military and veteran accounts. New recruitment initiatives will focus on programs for people who have been out of school for five or more years. “Bigger is not better, bigger is cheaper,’’Breckon said. “A committee is working with the Senior Citizens Housing Projects in the area to look into discounts for senior citizens,” Breckon said.

PRESIDENT ' S STUDENT FORUM 17 DAVID JACOB A week of fun and excitement BOON SIANG Throughout the week of October 5-10, activities were held to celebrate Harvest Fest. Many, varied events were held in Thompson Commons, and some even outside. These events included apple bobbing, fruit relays, jello snarfing, the ice cream eating con¬ test and the soap box derby race. The final event was the Harvest Fest dance on October 10th at 7 p.m. The dinner dance was held at the Holiday Inn near the airport where it was held last year. A local band from Kansas City called ‘Myth’ play a variety of music ranging from the late 50s music to the present 80’s hits. The coronation was at 9 p.m. Male candidates were Michael Alvarado, Matt Hart, Cedric Kimes, and Mark Kulda. The female candidates were Martha Bingle, Krystal Bowie, Sondra Ellis, and Elizabeth Marchisello. Chosen King and Queen were Michael Alvarado and Elizabeth Marchisello. After Liz received flowers and a tiara and Mike accepted a medallion, the two swayed to the tune of “With or Without You,” by the Irish band U2. Last year’s queen, Inger Scherer, was present to congratulate the candidates and give her best wishes. The dinner dance was coordinated by the College Activities Board.

Mom quietly peered out the window while Dad was deep in concentration determinedly able to study the map, take in all of the signs, and keep the car out of the ditch all by himself (there was no way he was going to let HER get him lost again.) We hit Kansas City, Mom turned around. “Girls! We’re almost there. Here, take these handi-wipes and freshen up,” she said in a hoarse voice (too much yelling at the girls, you know.) She threw away her own used handi-wipe as she turned back to the front, pulled down the viser mirror, and pulled out a big, red tube of lipstick. A sign! Park College 1 mile! Christy couldn’t have been happier if it had said, “Welcome to Paradise!” Anticipation conquered her. Christy broke out in a cold sweat. What if it’s awful?! In a last minute panic she imagined how Parkville and th e college might be. First, knowing it was close to the historic Santa Fe Trail, she envi¬ sioned Parkville to be an old western town from a John Wayne movie. Right behind Big Bob’s Saloon would be a half dozen big, old, dusty buildings; off to the side would be a big wooden sign with the name “Park College” burnt into it. No, it can’t be like that! Next, she imagined a small, but very modern town of which Park College was an extension. Every¬ thing was immaculate and looked “just right.” The neat wooden buildings were varnished with “just the right” stain, the people walked, talked, and dressed “just right,” and the sidewalks were so clean one could eat off of them. But, luckily, perfect is impossible. Then, her mind created a picture of Parkville as the bad side of Kansas 24 BOON SIANG LEE .T it CAT t f s J ' ■ S ' V- r ■t . ' • V ‘ i ! • Mi k Christy Schaschl City. She saw saggy brown build¬ ings with paint peeling off the sides, every window that wasn’t boarded up had a crack in it, and the whole two blocks of Main Street looked like they had missed their spring and fall cleaning for the last 50 years or so. Park College, she imagined, was a block behind Main Street. It had bigger buildings but was in the same condition. Most of the trees had been cut down and sold, and ragged children from the town wandered on to the campus hoping a generous college student would give them something to eat. These nightmares vanished as the real college came into view. “Oh, honey, look!” croaked Mom, “Isn’t it beautiful?!” Christy was just breathless. The campus sloped upward in levels with quaint brick and limestone build¬ ings nestled into the hills and a sprinkling of trees to make it com¬ fortable. A forest surrounded the campus like a mother’s protective arm around her child. The cute little town lay at the base of the campus. Released from all of her fears, Christy sat back in awe as Dad cranked the wheel around and to the right, and the car nosed its way up the side of the hill. The car stopped in front of a red brick monumental building. Here it is. . .Hawley Hall! They all got out, tired, relieved, and content, taking in the beautiful scenery, except Dad who looked like he’s just completed his final exams, but even he was able to relax after taking a minute to look around. An RA came down and met them with a smile, “Hi! Welcome to Park College! If you back your car up to that door, it will be easier to unload. I will meet you on the third floor!” They all grabbed a bundle and ascended the stairs to find their RA and a cozy little room with a warm smiling roommate Christy was sure she’d grow to love. From that day forward, through tours and introductions, impressions only got better. And, even the tears from “good-byes” to Mom, Dad and Jeanne couldn’t dampen Christy’s high expectations for a wonderful year at Park College. The Power of Freedom “1 used to follow, Ya, that’s true. Buut, my followin’ days are over, Now, I just gotta follow through.” Lou Graham No other words can detail the search for freedom throughout my life. I want to control my life, and here at Park College I am able to do just that. The freedom I exercise here influences me to where I can decide my friends, maybe my career, but most certainly, my life. The power of the freedom I have utilized here is greater than any other controlling factor which I might have experienced earlier. Because of the many freedoms I have at Park, I am sometimes forced to make decisions between alter¬ natives. For example, I could include studying or going to a party. In the week before a test, I feel that I have to study, and partying would be out of the picture. But after that test, I don’t think I would be stopped from going “out on the town.” This is only one conflict that I may encounter. Others might be participating in sports, who to choose as friends or foes, how much effort to put into schoolwork, going to a school function, who to dine with, watching television or cleaning my room and anything else I might do throughout the day or night. Adam Smith, a great philosopher and economist, spoke only truth when saying, “Man has control.” There is no other controlling factor for man in a free society, but there might be some guidance from an external factor. This leads to something else that he introduced, the concept of the “Invisible Hand.” He explains this an an outside factor which might guide us to using our freedom wisely. This might not have been too clear, so I can symbolize Park College as being an “Invisible Hand.” I can live my life here as free as 1 choose, but certain restrictions apply so I can use my freedom more wisely. Upon first arriving at Park College, I was advised on the rules of living in the dorm. Some of the restrictions I didn’t agree with, but I knew they existed to keep me out of trouble and to protect the rights of others who might agree with the rules. Other examples might be the restriction of wearing written profanities on tee- shirts, and anything else which might do me more harm than good while attending college. The power of freedom has always been a big influ¬ ence in my life, and by what I have written so far, it’s easy to see that here at Park College, I can express my freedom fully. After high school, I had the choice of making a career path for myself. I chose to enlist with the United States Navy, one of the biggest mistakes in my life, but still a choice I made. The word freedom was no longer in my vocabulary, and if freedom ever did exist, I couldn’t use it for the extent I wanted. Everything I did had to be in accordance with military regulations, on or off duty. I was trained and taught, their way, in many fields of expertise. After moving up in rank to a supervisory position, I still had no freedom. I now had to act and teach a certain way, their way, in order to set the examples for my subordinates. The Navy wasn’t an “Invisible Hand,” it was a steel arm, unbreakable. If one desired to test it, the consequences could be severe. To end my horrifying experience, I violated the rules and was severly prosecuted. It was quite the price to “pay the piper,” but it was my opportunity for freedom. I knew what I wanted, and would do anything I could to get it. But even today, I feel the aftermath of that choice I made in my life. Arriving at Park and being part of the community has let the best of my freedom It can be seen that there is a choice of freedoms, it just depends upon the person and how he she is willing to utilize it. Arriving at Park and being part of the community has let the best of my freedom show. I can be “me” for the first time in a long time, and no one can change that but me. There is only so much time in a day, a week and in a lifetime. Using my freedom wisely now can lead to a happy life ahead. It’s up to me if I want control of my life and to be an individual and here at Park College is the place to show it.

JASON’S LIGHT By Les Bradley Joined in Unity at your heaven on earth We give flickering life to a simple stick of wax. Wind rushes spitefully to the flame’s base as do the perils of life to a man’s vibrance. Our cold, altruistic hands subdue the brisk rushes of air representing God’s unseen guidance to man, in times of need. Mercilessly, a gush of uncontrolled ivind festers (overfeeds) the fire just as strong situations test our stability and attempt to overcome our existence. The candle may be out, but not gone. We merely slip it into our warm, protected pocket as God takes a conquered man’s soul into his beloved kingdom. Both Man and Candle live on in memory.

Dance The big, bad Zorro (Mike Alvarado) m - Senate sponsors day of protest The PPCSA Senate is taking Park College on a one-day flash¬ back to the era of social protests of the sixties, while giving students a chance to land a pie in the face of someone they dislike. A Freedom of Protest Day and a pie-in-the-face contest will high¬ light Freedom Week to be held from Nov. 9 to 13. According to PCSA President Scoop Phillips, all students, staff and faculty will be allowed Friday Nov. 12 to protest “anything on campus in whatever manner they see fit, within fhe rules of the col¬ lege and the law.” The complete rules and details for the protest day will be released today. The voting for the pie-in-the-face contest will take place Monday Nov. 9 through Thursday Nov. 12 in Student Activities, and in the Upper Commons during meal hours. “Students will vote by dropping nickels in the provided jars,” Phillips said. “The lucky winner will receive his pie during lunch Friday.” Cash prizes will be awarded to the winner of an essay contest to be held from Monday Nov. 9 to Thursday Nov. 12. The subject and other details of the contest will be released today. The convocation time (11 a.m.) on Wednesday Nov. 11 will be devoted to a special Flag Raising Ceremony, and a memorial service for Park Veterans at the Flag Pole. “There will be a costumed skit, readings, and laying of a wreath,” Phillips said. “Lt. Col. Robert DAVID JACOB DAVID JACOB Guess who? It’s Donna Rekittke! DAVID JAC Martinache will appear as a guest speaker. “There will be all-night movies Saturday Nov. 14. Schedules and location will be posted in the galley Monday.” The concept behind Freedom Week, according to Phillips, “is to get us to stop and think about the freedoms that we have and concern ourselves with ways to protect it. “It is to celebrate freedom, to remember those who fought and died for our freedom. Part of the reason for the selection of this week is that Veterans’ Day is on the 11th. It is also because this year is the bi¬ centennial of the constitution.” David Jacob S. L.

Christmas is a time of love and joy. It means visiting relatives you have not seen for a year, giving and receiving gifts. Of course, there is also food, companionship, and presents. The common consensus of Christmas at Park is a time to work and earn money for the spring semester, books, entertainment, and gifts for friends and relatives. It is a time for earning and trying not to spend as much or more than you earn. Three out of every four students I talked with were planning to work over the winter interim. Where? They worked at a variety of places, from Stanford and Sons Comedy House to Footlockes. Why not a month off from school, relax, kick back, and eat. How boring? Get a job. Whether you hate it or like it, it’s something to do. Keep busy during the holidays. Hustle! Bustle! Still, Christmas is a wonderful time, with or without work. The spirit is everywhere. The shopping malls are glowing with shoppers, ornaments, and lights. Even Park College flickered with Christmas. There was a beautiful billboard display at the entrance which was supported by artistic contributions from many offices: Admissions, the Nursing Program, the Inter¬ national Club, Student Activities, and many more. The Residence Halls were decorated with lights, Budweiser Christmas trees, wrapping paper, et cetera, left over from the Christmas decoration competition before the semester ended. There were some students, mostly international, left on campus during the holidays. There was a scrumptious meal in the Meetin’ House on Christmas Day prepared by Francis, Joe, June, Pam, and other students left behind. It consisted of food so good everyone had to force themselves to stop eating! Red snapper, venison, chicken, ham, and more, all spiced exactly by our expert student chefs. It was a meal unknown at Park, a rarity, something special. After eating, the students were led upstairs to find their individualized stockings and ornaments lining the stair. The tree was crowded underneath with packages: blankets, notebooks, handkerchiefs, and more. There was a distinct cheerfulness on the home campus on Christmas Day. Of course, most, if not all, of the students left on campus worked for the college over the break. Kenny Khoo and Benson Owere worked for Physical Plant; Mike Zorn and Dave Hall ran the Galley once in awhile for the students’ sake. Melinda Tellmetang and Geraldine Rengiil slaved in the commons while Boon Siang Lee and I lazed in a boiling Narva’s office to ensure this publication got out to you on time.

The Religious Life Department exists to meet the needs and desires of the students and staff at Park. X ' e have a program and activities but these can always be adjusted, changed, increased or decreased as the Park Family has need. Primarily we are here to be the sounding boards for any of you who wish to talk about good times, bad times, accomplishments or disappointments. As an extention of our department we sponsor student chaplains on all floors of the residence halls. These students have had some training, especially in listening skills, to help those residing in their respective halls. They are there to help. Christian Fellowship is an organization of concerned students under the leadership of their president, Tyler Crowell, who band together to foster and promote Christian activities on campus. These people too are an extension of our office and we support them in all their activities. This group is open to all the student body and invite your ideas and participation. They enjoy good fun, as they had on their hayride, or hard work, as they exhibited in their service auction. The student chaplains plan and present devotions for the whole student body, as well as any staff and faculty who might want to join us, on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 in the Upper Mectin’ House. We have had varied activities at this time and enjoy the relationship we are able to build together. On Sunday evenings we provide an opportunity for a very informal worship and sharing together under the banner of Contemporary Christian Ministry. This has been under the leadership of Randy Condit with our support and assistance. We sponsor a non-denominational church service each Sunday morning while school is in session. This semester, we have invited people from our campus to share with you their beliefs and their concerns. We will have an unusual opportunity to know and better understand these people that we see every day in their campus responsibilities as they share the beliefs that shape their lives.

The banquet included chicken wings, fresh vegetables, and a variety of cold cuts. Shortly after dinner, Flight, a local band from Platte Woods played a variety of songs. However, their main emphasis was classical rock. The band was chosen by CAB’s 12 members. One of the CAB members heard the band previously and suggested Flight to the other members. “I heard them (Flight) before, and I liked them,” said Sher i Enloe, Director of CAB. Despite some criticism, Enloe con¬ tinued to say, “There were very few complaints made. You cannot please everyone. Most people liked the dance. The turnout rate was great.” According to Enloe, 155 tickets were sold.

Awards Convocation. The awards to students, faculty and others are too numerous to ensconce herein, but the following are highlights. The most prestigious honor bestowed at the ceremony was The Outstanding Parkite Award. Also called the Parker Memorial Fund Awards, they are for the male and female student who best exemplify the ideal of Park College. Endow¬ ed by Dr. Elliot F. Parker in memory of his parents Albert George and Jessie Bewly Parker, this year’s awards went to Elizabeth Marchisello and Mark Kulda. The Patrick J.L. Zwingle Park College Student Award was created to pay tribute to the outstanding faculty member as voted by the Park student body. Dr. Stephen Fried was this year’s recipient. The Dr. William C. Pivonka Chemistry Award - inaugurated by Elizabeth Marchisello, went to Pamela Hill and Saleh Elahmad. To recognize Park family members, the Park College Stu¬ dent Association awarded the Park Family Award to Jackie King and Frank Walker. The “Rookie of the Year” award went to Sarah Morgan. Class Outstanding Students were: Christy Schaschl and Myles Perry freshmen; Mary DeGuire, Mathew Chigiyal, and Rick Tibbot, sophomores; Pam Mayfield and F.G. “Scoop” Phillips, juniors and non¬ graduating seniors. Senate also awarded new honors. Betty Thoresen Turner received the Outstanding Con¬ tribution by an Alumnus Award, J. Mark Noe received the Outstan¬ ding Contribution by a Faculty or Staff Member Award, and Patrick Allen and Scoop Phillips were cor¬ ecipients of the Outstanding Con- 60 HONORS CONVOCATION tribution by a Student Award. Park’s motto is Fides Et Labor, faith and work, and accordingly a new award was created to honor the Student Employee of the Year. The recipient of the first award was Rhonda Adams. Presedential awards were the culmination of the ceremony. The Presedential Award for Longevi¬ ty and Service to Park College was awarded to staff member Jo Anne Saunders. For a graduating male and female student who demonstrated outstanding talent in the classroom and the athletic field, the Scholarship Athletic Award went to Genesia Livingston and Mark Kulda. Albert Dusing received the Special Award from the Park College faculty for being the faculty marshal.

The event, co¬ sponsored by the Black Student Union and Christian Fellowship was shortened by a raft of last minute cancellations by some of the acts. Nevertheless, the pro¬ gram, under the directorship of Sharon Brooks, provided a delightful Sunday afternoon diversion. M. C. John Trozzolo in¬ troduced a variety of acts, with vocal performances predominating. The program opened with a gospel number, “Tomorrow”, by Carmella Cooper, Sharon Brooks, and Janice Gray. Min¬ dy White performed the song, “Father’s Eyes”, a capella. “Sunshine” was the piece selected by Francine Fields in a stunning performance. Janice Gray presented her expected quality performance with a gospel medley. Clarinda Creighton was the only faculty staff person to ap¬ pear. Her gospel presentation surprised many in the audience, who were unaware of Clarin- da’s magnificent voice. Dance routines were also presented. An off-campus group, Just Who We Are, got the audience moving in their seats with an e nergetic routine. Yvonne Wyatt, Joyce Crayton, and Gwen Elliot, known as Just Fresh, also got things hopping. A group known as Posse Two presented a lively number with a military flavor and dedicated it to the ROTC. Vince Carillo gave a vocal tribute to the group Led Zeplin. I’m not certain his performance was as he intended it, but the audience was entertained none-the-less. Cash prizes were given to the three winners, selected by a three-person panel from off- campus. The winners were: Francine Fields, first; Just Fresh, second; and Just Who We Are, third. It would have been nice if all of the acts had been able to show, but the quality of the acts that did perform made up for any lack of numbers.

As well as the two disciplines of Hunt Seat and Stock Seat, we offer classes in hands- on training of young horses, stable management, and academic studies of psychology, nutrition, anatomy, etc. The Stock Seat team provides a great diversification in people, their hobbies, and their backgrounds. Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, and Iowa are some states represented, and the breed variations include Apaloosa, Paint and Quarter Horse. Student interest varies from pleasure riding, racing, barrel rabing, 4-H, and national level breed shows. Junior Diane Arnold qualified for the World Apaloosa Show and Freshman Cathy Huddleston showed at the Kansas State Fair. Members of the Hunt Seat team include people from Kansas, Ohio, Missouri, New York, and New Jersey. Their interests vary from showing hunters and jumpers to Dressage and the Three-Day Event. Last fall Sophomore Debbie Dobbins took first place in the Leavenworth Hunter Trials. Bunny Rodina took fifth and Julie Lynch came in fourth. Senior Tom Davenport and Junior T. J. Weaver both won first place ribbons and plaques at the IHSA show in Kentucky. The Hunt Seat team also participated in the Fort Leavenworth Fox Hunt several times this year. Both teams really pulled together this year and attended shows in Olathe, Leavenworth, Topeka and two Intercollegiate Horse Show Association shows in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Kentucky show was attended by 18 team members and coacher. Sarah Runyon (Stock) and Dee Mana (Hunt) brought home 32 ribbons. The Tennessee show was at¬ tended by 8 team members and hunt coach Dee Mana reaped 16 ribbons, the Park College Riding Council pro¬ duced a successful horse show of its own this spring at the stables. The Equine Center is directed by Jo Ann High and the instructor coaches are Dee Mana (Hunt) and Sarah Runyon (Stock). Were proud of our team!

Photos by Boon Siang Lee Park College Track and Field Coach Dave McCalley will eager¬ ly talk to you about his athletes. But, you’ve got to pry for a good while before you can get him to say a word about himself, or his input into their success. While others look at their ac¬ complishments and are satisfied, McCalley keeps stepping forward without looking back. After being hired as head track and field and cross country coach last July, McCalley was named assistant athletic director at Park College last week. He will juggle both duties beginning June 1, his first official day as assistant A.D. The post is a new one for Park College, and is designed to bring more pro¬ ductivity and organization to the athletic offices. “I’m certain we can make a dif¬ ference in the athletic programs,” McCalley vowed. ‘‘With this new set-up (Ben and I) will be able to do the extra things that will set us leges.” McCalley came to Park College in the Fall of 1979 from Oak Park High School, where he racewalked to numerous all-time national age- group records. He was an All- American indoors in 1980, and was listed by THE TRACK and FIELD NEWS as one of the potential Olympians in the 20K walk for the Moscow Olympic Games that summer. A foot injury ended the Olympic dream and the racewalking career. From there McCalley earned a full music scholarship to the University of Missouri, and started the Kansas City Blazers Track Club for area youths. Six years later he plays the trumpet in a local orchestra (his wife Theresa plays the French Horn) and his KC Blazers have won over 30 National Championships, set 14 National Records, and have totaled over 80 national medals. As a coach, McCalley’s often si st si 0! t( H tl Ik at d si ei hi ki at tii bi at ol 01 72 TRACK shatters stereotypes. He prefers ‘Dave’ over ‘Coach’, drives a red sports car loaded with shot-puts, starting blocks, stopwatches and shoes, and deals with each athlete on a person-to-person not general- to-private basis, his athletes say. His approach sets him apart from the authoritarian. At track meets, McCalley dresses in jeans, Nike’s and a civilian jacket, leaving no in¬ dicating that he is even a coach; he simply lets his athletes perform. He doesn’t yell, jump around or boast. Communication with the athlete is more meaningful and less emotional, and when ‘Dave’ tells his athletes ‘good effort’ they know he means it and a bit more. Dave McCalley doesn’t waste anything. He doesn’t waste words, time or effort. These qualities have brought him success after success, and their dividends will soon pay off for Park College; McCalley only steps forward. Stephen Hunter TRACK 73 Cagers end season winless. . . It’s a dubious honor that nobody wants, but somebody has to have it. The Park College men’s basketball team is, as most people know, off to a terrible start. What most people don’t know is the 27-game losing streak the Pirates are in the middle of is the longest consecutive losing skid among all four-year colleges in the nation. The last time Park won a basketball game was on Feb. 7, 1987, when they beat Westminster College. Park was suddenly thrust into the limelight when the University of Dallas (Texas) beat John Brown University snapping a losing streak that had stretched out over 86 games. Dallas Times-Herald reporter Steve Schoenfeld, who hails from Overland Park, Kans., did some research and found out Park’s streak would inherit the crown. Ironically, the closest Park has been to winning a game was against the same John Brown team that University of Dallas beat. Park played at John Brown’s tourney Nov. 14 and lost 102-99. It was the most points the Pirates have scored all season and the lowest number of points they have lost by. The statistic that smarts the team most is their average margin of loss. Park scores an average of 71 points per game, but their opponents average 101 points on offense a game, meaning the Pirates lose by an average of 30 points every game. Another stab in the back is Park’s Dunkel rating. The Dunkel ratings are statistical ratings that compare basketball teams based on win-loss record, margin of victory, and strength of schedule. The actual computer process of determining the Dunkel rating is still held top secret by the family-run service in Florida. Top NCAA schools have Dunkels in the upper 70s or lower 80s. NAIA District 16 leader, William Jewell College, ranked eighth in the nation, has a Dunkel in the low 50s. Park’s rating was 1.0, the lowest Dunkel assigns to teams. Only seven other schools in the nation have 1.0 Dunkels. “That’s the lowest ranking we give out,” Dick Dunkel told Kansas City Times reporter Bill Richardson. “Mathematically, it could be lower, but we don’t like to bother giving a minus rating.” The ratings can be used to compare two teams by subtracting the smaller Dunkel from the larger with the difference being the forecasted margin of victory. Park’s women’s team has a Dunkel that hovers around 20.0, meaning theoretically, that if the women’s team were to play the men’s team, the Lady Pirates would win by 19 points. “Park had a 15.5 rating last year and has steadily deteriorated this season,” said Dunkel. The deterioration is smaller this week, however as Dunkel granted the Pirates a 2.0, putting them firmly in last place in District 16, still more than 10 rating points behind the next to last team. “I’d hate to second guess the Dunkels,” said Head Coach Will Swoffer. “The ratings are being heavily criticized. William Jewell goes down in the Dunkel, but they’ve lost only one game. Drury lost to Jewell, but keeps going up.” Part of the Pirates’ blame can be put on the size of the team. Park’s roster contains just eight names, six of them freshmen. The two non¬ freshmen, senior Cedric Times and junior Anthony Walker, have each scored 411 points in the 23 games so far this season for an average of 17.9 points per game, w ' hich ranks both in the top fifteen scorers in Missouri District 16. They are “two of the best guards in the district,” according to Swoffer, whose job has been rumored to be in jeopardy after winning just three games since he took over the reins of the men’s team from former Athletic and Ad- 74 MEN’S BASKETBALL missions Director Randy Farris. One addition many fans may not have noticed at home games recently was Major R. D. Mallams, assistant professor of Military Science sitting on Park’s bench. Mallams is an athletic afficionado and former coaching colleague of Swoffer’s when they worked together at Liberty High School. Mallams coached girl’s basketball while Swoffer led the girl’s volleyball team. “I wanted some more details and (Major Mallams) supplied it,” said Swoffer. “But, there’s a rumor that’s been coming back to me that people think I’m leaving.” Hearing those stories doesn’t bother him however. “I worked for the city of Indepen- dence (Missouri) for 20 years and I heard that rumor every day.” “I feel (despite their record) the team has potential,” said Mallams. “One of the things that impressed me about Park was that the president has a dream to get it on its feet. Well, if you look at Coach Swoffer with his recruits, he has a plan. He’s a very positive individual.” “I tune negative things out,” said Swoffer, who has degrees in public administration, fire safety and physical education. “I sort out what I think is going to be helpful and throw the rest out. When I hear criticism about if they were in the same situation as me, I think ‘well it may be correct for them,’ but I have to weigh the situation to see if it’s cor¬ rect for me. And if a team member comes to me, I weigh it heavily.” Despite the team’s record, despite the criticism, despite the somewhat negative publicity, Swoffer still maintains that winning isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. “My house is a trophy case from wall-to-wall,” he said. “My ego is not one where I have to be on top anymore. There are other things besides winning. The character building and the—for lack of a better word—‘stick-to-it-ness’ are what’s there. It’s perseverance. The fact that a person has competed, done their best and knows it ...is more impor¬ tant than coming away with a win. When you get a win, it’s like icing on a cake—the cake is great, but the ic¬ ing’s better. Unfortunately, society places so much em phasis on winning, we fall into a trap of making excuses.” Swoffer offers no excuses, instead he sings praises. “The kids on this basketball team have grown tremendously,” Swoffer said. “There isn’t a day that has gone by that I can’t brag. Even other coaches tell me how tough we are. I ask other coaches what team would we be compared with so we could schedule easier teams. They say ‘you’ve got a tough team’ and ‘there aren’t any easy teams in the NAIA, period.” Swoffer said he is trying to schedule district leader William Jewell sometime before Thanksgiving, but the agreement is now just in . . .and coach resigns. After guiding the men’s basketball team through a winless season, Head Coach and Athletic Director Will Swoffer resigned after spending two years at Park. Through a press release, Swoffer said he resigned in the best interests of all involved. Swoffer’s career coaching record here was 3-48. His Pirates still hold the longest current losing streak among the nation’s colleges—31 games. The new athletic director will be chosen from among Park’s current coaches. “I met with the coaches and we discussed the situation,” said Presi¬ dent Breckon. “The transition will be the smoothest if we assigned an internal person to fill the position. We’ll select a present coach and reassign them (Swoffer’s) duties.” MEN’S BASKETBALL 75 preliminary stages. “We’ve got talent,” the coach added. “Once we’ve got experience under our belts, we’ll do better.” “I feel this team has potential,” said Mallams. “They’ve made large strides in improvement.” Mallams indicated he has been working with the younger players on fundamentals, while Swoffer works on the offense and the defense. “I’m hoping by next year to turn it around,” said Swoffer. “We’re going to get positive recognition. Most of the guys have implied that they’ll be back next year. That shows me the character of the players. Everybody wants to be on the bandwagon of a winner, but when a kid wants to come to Park to help build a winner, that kid is special.” One thing that would be beneficial, according to the coach, is increasing the number of students. “Our biggest problem is the number of students,” said Swoffer. “Although, the administration hasn’t given me a problem in getting things that were justified, anytime you try to compete with someone there’s problems. Their justification is just as important as mine.” A new gymnasium would probably help. “I know it would bring in more students,” said Swoffer. “Coaches bring recruits here and for soccer and track (our facilities) can compete, but when volleyball and basketball bring in recruits, it’s a culture shock. Some 1A high schools have better facilities.” Park bids farewell to Coach Swoffer. “In the two years I’ve been here, though, I’ve learned to appreciate the campus,” the coach said. “The student body here is great and I really enjoy being here. A number of my recruits say this is a friendly campus—a real plus for what we’ve got here.” Mark Kulda 76 MEN’S BASKETBALL The last leap for Cedric Kimes as he finishes his career at Park, both as a basketball player and student. “Hey! we are on the same team.” Freshman Arthur Brooks and Stan Willis jump for the ball. 78 MEN ' S BASKETBALL A Lady Cat goes airborne to pass Julie Feely.
