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. Here is a brief run down on each team member: KEN ANDREWS - Kenny 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:I8.6. 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 parlicioating 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 an-chor 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 County 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.

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.

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'5 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 us, 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.

week. End-of-the-semester pep talk Well, here it is, just right at the end of the first semes- ter, and everyone is ready to move on to the next. For be- ginning freshmen, it's been an exciting four months: for re- turning veterans, it's been a continuation of the educational pursuits they initiated somewhere back in time - before the present semester. This is the time of year when people start having warm thoughts about Christmas, and the chance to start over in another year - more or less a reiuvenation, if you will. And look at what is happening at Seward County Community College. The little school in far Southwestern Kansas is gradually coming of age. A new campus is taking shape north of town. The Saints' basketball team is smoothing out the rough spots and getting into winning condition. More and more students are attending Seward County, becoming loyal Saints, working with a pioneer spirit to get SCCJC off to the right start, toward becoming the best community college in Kansas. The students and faculty and staff of Seward County Community College have a lot to be proud of. We went through an evaluation visit from North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges this fall. lt appears that we received a very favorable rating, from initial comments. Last year, SCCJC received full accreditation from the Kan- sas State Department of Education. We're moving on. No other college in Kansas is as unique as Seward County. We are doing things that other schools haven't thought of yet. Like offering degrees in coniunction with the Liberal Area Vocational Technical School. Like doing away with the F grade and placing an X grade on a student's transcript instead. Like involving the students on all of the college committees. Like having women in intercollegiate sports, Trustees review North Central visit The November meeting of the College Trustees included a re- view of the visit of the North Central examining team in Oc- tober and quick disposal of a number of items of routine bus- iness. Trustees of Seward County Community College also looked ahead to their 2 p.m. bid open- ing on November 28 on con- struction of the activities center and swimming pool. This will be phase two of the bulding plans for the campus now' under con- struction. A three-building complex for phase one is well underway on the campus site north of Liberal. Trustees heard of administra- tion plans for a regular review of the insurance program, a re- port on how out-of-district tui- tion is coming in from other counties, and voted to have a board committee review and up- date the board's policy hand- book. The board also renewed its recognition of the Faculty As- sociation of the college for neg- otiation purposes. The request for recognition was endorsed un- animously by the 31 faculty members. Dr. Dale Gibson, college pres- ident, distributed to trustees a written report of oral comments made by the North Central ex- amining team in their exit in- terview after their three-day visit here. He explained that within six weeks the team would file a written report. This report and the findings of the team will play a large role in the college successfully com- pleting the final steps in gain- ing full North Central accredi- tation. Dr. Gibson's written report listed areas of strength in which the team praised the college here, and areas of concern for corrective action before the North Central hearing in Chicago next spring for a hearing. FINAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE December 18 thru December 21, 1972 NOTE: Regular classes will not meet during final examation competing with other colleges just as our men do. As we get ready to go into I973, Seward County Com- munity College is emerging from the fledgling stage and ap- proaching the level of an outstanding institution of higher education. And it couldn't have been done without people. The people who are students here. The people who are instruc- tors. The people who help to run the administrative and physical facets of this college. And the people who pay taxes in Seward County and show in so many ways that they believe we have the best school any small city in the midwestern United States could want. So, Merry Christmas! And, Happy New Year! And, come back in I973 and help make that part of the history of SCCJC even better. Mrs. Brown, librarian, is Leader Mrs. O. D.
