Lettermen launch ticket sales campaign The Lettermen's Club of Se- ward County Community College has launched its 1972 campaign to sell tickets for the approach- ing Sain-ts' basketball season. This year the Lettermen will be contacting as many people as possible in the Liberal area with the goal of filling the seats in Rindom Hall for every home game of the Seward County Sain-ts. Last year the Saints com- piled an impressive 15-8 season record and this year Head Coach Virgil Akins states that the team has what it takes to do even better. Tickets for the 1972-1973 sea- son will be sold before the sea- son starts as follows: An Extra Dividend Ticket will allow the holder to attend eight home games for only 56.00. Season tic- kets for reserved seats will go for S12 for 10 home games. The extra dividend tickets may be purchased from any member of the Lettermen's Club at Seward County Community College. The reserved seat season tickets must be purchased by contacting the Athletic Director's Office at 624- 6512. Coach Akins, who is also Ath- letic Director at SCCJC, empha- sized that, Even though the pur- chaser is buying a ticket for basketball games, he will be sup- porting all athletic teams at the college. The sports that these tic- kets sales will support are men's spring baseball, golf, tennis, and track, and women's volleyball and track, as well as basketball, Akins explained. Coach Akins further states, The outlook for all sports is bright for this year and we are looking forward to an outstanding year. The Saints basketball team has turned in surprising and im- pressive performance in the past three seasons. In the 1971 season they defeated the highly-ranked Hutchinson Community College team on Hutchinson's home court. Last year, the Saints handed Hutchinson another defeat before a standing-room-only crowd at Rindom Hall. This will be the last year that the college team will be sharing the facilities with the Liberal High School athletes. Next year, the Saints will be playing their home games in the gymnasium on the new college campus n-ow being constructed north of Liberal. As members of the Jayhawk Juco Conference fWestJ, the Saints will be meeting such teams as Garden City, Dodge City, Pratt, Barton County fGreat Bendb, Cowley County fArkan- sas Cityj, Butler County CEI Do- radoj, and Hutchinson. It's go- ing to be an interesting season, Coach Akins stated, and we're hoping that we can pack the house for every home game.

College foundation receives bequest A bequest of 524,208.25 from the estate of the late Launah H. My- ers has been received by the Se- ward County Community Junior College Development Foundation for the establishment of the Ola M. Vickers Memorial Scholarship Fund for valedictorians of high school graduating classes. A pioneer resident of Liberal, Miss Myers specified in her will that the scholarship be named in memory of her sister, the late Mrs. Ola M. Vickers. The will also states that the bequest will be invested and that the income will be used for scholarships in the amount of S250 per year for each recipient. Miss Myers died March 1, 1971. According to her will, Miss My- ers left three-tenths undivided interest of her estate to the col- lege development foundation. She stipulated that the foundation- be authorized to use its own discre- tion as to investments of the funds received from her estate. According to friends, she was a strong supporter of having a hometown college for Liberal and Seward County. The college development founda- tion operates as a corporation separate from the college but established by local people to gain funds for scholarships and loans for SCCJC students. Those romping, stomping, number one clebaters ot Seward County! Two Seward County Community Junior College debate students won the college a first-place tro- phy October 28 at Manhattan, the first first-place trophy won since the debate program was started at the college. This team, Martin Sizemore and Nikki Blevins, won the six preliminary rounds, the semi- finals and then went on to win the finals trophy in the amateur division in the 25th annual Kan- sas State University Novice De- bate Tournament at Manhattan. Seward County Community Junior College also won second place Sweepstakes honors. Helping win the second place Sweepstakes honors were Dennis Reed, Wichita, and Gloria Clay, Plains, with a 4-2 record and who tied for fourth place in novice di- visiong Dorsey Gentry, Hugoton, and Christina Hull, Liberal, 3-3, novice divisiong and Mike Bryan and Jim Reneau, Liberal, 2-4, amateur division. More than 100 students from 20 colleges and universities from Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri participated in the two-day tour- nament. Debating was in two divisions, novice and amateur. Novice de- baters included undergraduate students with less than two se- mesters previous debating ex- perience at the college level, while the amateur division was 45 restricted to those students with no previous debate experience at all. The 1972-73 debate topic is Resolved: that the federal gov- ernment should provide a ,pro- gram of comprehensive medical care to all United States citi- zens. Debate coach, Gene Clark, said of the tournament, This was our finest performance ever in de- bate tournaments in the history of our program and is indica- tive of the hard work and super- ior effort of the 1972-73 SCCJC debate squad. The next debate tournament will be Nov. 16-18 at Wichita State University.

Track team shapes up Presently eight track men are working out in the fall track program with each workout pre- sently occurring at 7 a.m. Mon- day through Thursday. Coach Rausch is pleased with the pro- gress and the attitude of the en- tire group. This fall program, especially the weight program, will be valuable in the sprin-g,' Coach Rausch said. The season depends on how the four sopho- mores do - They have to come through for us to be better than average in the relays, he said. J Here is a brief run down on each team member: KEN ANDREWS - Kenn-y is a sophomore from Liberal major- ing in physical education. Ken is being counted on very much in the short sprint relays and possibly the half mile. JACKIE JOHNSON - Jackie is presently recovering from summer knee surgery and has just started to get some mobility. There is hope that Jackie will make a complete recovery and be a great asset to the team in the sprints and relays. Jackie is a sophomore also. JEFF MCAHREN - Jeff is probably the most versatile ath- lete in the track program parti- cipating in the javelin, long jump, and running on the sprint teams last year. Coach Rausch is hoping for a repeat on those events plus some quarter miles which could be Jeff's best event. GEORGE FISHER - George is from Liberal as are all the sophomores. He is being counted on in the sprints and possibly in the javelin. George did run 440's last year and Coach feels this might be a strong area for George. DAN EDMISSION - DAN is a newcomer to the track .pro- gram and is a sophomore. In high school Dan was a shot put- ter and will be counted on in this and the discus in the spring for the Saints. Dan also is very competitive and will be a, very valuable asset to the team. TERRY RIDDLE - Terry, as a freshman, looks like a great track prospect. Coach Rausch feels that Seward county is very lucky to have a person of his ability and potential. He moved from Pampa, Texas, where he ran on the mile relay and went to the Texas state track meet and ran 3:l8.6. Terry's personal best in this area was 49.2. Terry consistently ran in the 49 sec- onds all last year. DICK DAVIS - Dick is a freshman from Wahoo, Nebraska. Dick comes from a family of good athletes. His brother Jim plays defensive halfback for Eastern New Mexico University and is being highly sought by the pros. Dick is an all-around athletc particioaling in football, wrestling, basketball, and espe- cially track wnere he ran on the spirit team that went to the Nebraska state meet and as a high hurcller with a great per- sonal best of 14.6. Coach Rausch feels that again Seward County is especially fortunate to have an athlete of his caliber. DAN CYPRIT - Dan is an- other freshman who has great potential. Dan could be the main hopes and chances in the middle distance races this spring. A tremendous half miler and com- petitor, Dan's best race may be the mile. Dan has a super atti- tude and keeps the team in high spiritsduring 7 a.m. workouts. He is being counted on heavily to anchor the spirit medley relay and score points in half and the mile. Dan's another athlete for the Saints with great potential, and promise. Women's volleyball win for Seward The Seward Coun-ty Commun- ity College women's volleyball team, coached by Hazel Estes, took first place in a round robin tournament held Saturday, No- vember 11, in the small gymnas- i-um of Liberal High School. The Seward County team won over women's teams from Garden City Community College and Panhandle State College of Good- well, Oklahoma. The three teams entered play- ed each other twice. Against Garden City, SCCJC won first, 15-9, then 16-14, for the best two out of three games. Another match with Garden City saw Se- ward County winning 15-3 and 16-14. Against Panhandle State, SCCJC won 15-12, lost 5-15, then won 15-4. In the second match with Panhandle State, Seward County lost 7-15 and 12-15 after winning the first game 15-7. Seward County took first in overall wins, Garden City took second and Panhandle State's women took home third place. The Seward County Saints' wo- men's team is made up of Char- lene Ausmus, Forgan, Okla.g Cheri Hodges, Deborah Bond, Pam Fry, and Kiddie Pace, Lib- eralg Doneva Plunk, Turpin-, Ok- la.g June Brown, Claude, Texas, and Caecilia Winter, Marienthal, Kansas. ., it . .-. ix x X 4 . isa-.M Carolyn Madden learns by actual practice in the art of screen printing, as a project in Fashion Merchandising, Textiles class. 47 Saints are ready Going into their fourth season of action, the Seward County Saints appear ready for their opening game on November 20. The Saints will be meeting Frank Philips College of Borger, Texas, in Rindom Hall at 7:30. With three returning Lettermen from last year's team Coleman Crawford, Foster Young and Do- nell Brundidge, the team has been characterized as hard to beat. Head Basketball Coach Virgil Akins has expressed that he feels the three returning players have all matured and are more will- ing to work. The broad field of incoming freshmen players was explained by Coach Akins when he said that it was mainly be- cause of the lure of the new campus being built and ready for next year. The tactics to be used in the upcoming season have not been disclosed but Coach Akin-s has made mention that no two years in Junior College Basketball are alike, no matter how many re- turning players you have. Each player has changed some, the addition of new players, and the loss of old ones all affect the to- tal strategy of the game. Looking over this year's list of games to be played Coach Ak- ins has expressed the desire to once again meet Hutch JuCo. We have been the only Kansas team in the past two years to beat the Hutchinson team and they're out to get usf' said Coach Akin-s. However, Coach Akins did say, We are working on something special for when we once again meet the Hutch JuCo team. All in all, it looks like it's goin-g to be our best season ever , Coach Akins commented, and we're really looking for- ward to it. Class hears SKADAF The Social Problems Class of SCCJC had a panel on October 30 from SKADAF to discuss the problems of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse. The panel consisted of two alcoholics and one ex-addict. The class followed up on the panel discussion by visiting SKADAF on November 1, and touring their facility.
