PTK Candy Cane Sale Finances Kansas Trip Omicron Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa was officially in- stalled at RCC in 1926. Its purpose is to promote high scho- lastic standards and provide activities for those within the organization. To be eligible for membership, students must be en- rolled in a transfer program, have a class load of at least 15 credits and maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.00. The chapter this year had about 25 members and met once or twice a month. This year was a busy one for the chapter's members. Dur- ing the year several students went with counselors to area high schools to answer questions about RCC. During Christ- mas they sold candy canes as a money making effort to spon- sor a convention trip to Kansas which some members at- tended in April. A weekend get-together with members of the Austin chapter was held injanuary. Ioanne Cordes was the president this year. Dr. Donald Ol- sen was the adviser. 4 f7ll5Tl!-EES 5- FIDE. 4 Buffmeup 7 Husefwo 3. wire Ln 5' Nm IO I-rg jane Henselin and Randy Van Alstinc sell candy canes to finance a con- vention trip to Kansas.

Intramurals: Opportunity for thletic Competition Intramurals are on outgrowth of Physical Education classes. They provide an opportunity to a large percentage of RCC students to participate in competitive activities within the college. Participants were those who did not have the skill, time or desire to be in intercollegiate athletics. Women's intramurals were coordinated by Mrs. Iulie Siem, while mens, and coed intramurals were coordinated by Mr. Ted Gunnarson. Mrs. Siem noted several trends apparent in womens' intramurals. Women showed more interest in coed intra- murals and also in intercollegiate intramural competition. Mr. Cunnarson saw a growing enthusiasm for menis hockey intramurals as more money was appropriated for ice times. A lob return foils a block in a volleyball game.
