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.

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.

You and the S. G. A. By Phil Thornton, S.G.A. President Hello once again from your Student Government As- sociation. Once again we will report to you on some of our past activities and those yet to come. Also, we will share with you some possible helpful bits of information concern ing your future months of education here at SCCJC. On November ll the hayride concluding Sadie Haw- kins Week was held and, with the weather permitting, it turned out to be a well-lenioyed affair with several students in attendance. The pep rally held before the game on the l7th was a great success, with many cars participating in the caravan down Main Street. After the game, a party was held for the players and the students. ln spite of the terrible weather that evening, attendance was very good. On the 27th an- other post-game party was held with approximately 70 to 80 students attending through the evening. We have found that these parties are extremely popular with the students of SCCJC and for this reason we are going to continue to hold these parties in the Student Union. You will find that these gatherings provide excellent opportunities for meeting new people and old friends. And besides, free pool and music is provided. Dates of SCCJC students are also wel- come. Because of only light attendance at our movies this year, we will be forced to cancel our remaining featur-es. We do this in order to conserve funds for bands that will be hired for three of four spring danc-es. We feel the dances and parties will more than make up for the movies. On Monday, December I8, we invite you all to attend our final party from 7:30 to lO:00 p.m. Take a break from work, studies, and come to the Student Union where we will serve free donuts and hot chocolate. Here is a little advice to all college students who are in need of money to pay for books or any other school need. S.G.A. loans will again be available to all students in the spring term. Now there will be new and better terms on the loans to better serve the student. Contact the -Student Ser- vices office or any Student Government representative for further information about this service. Also, inquire about other financial aids that are available to you. There are several. Remember, the Student Services office is the place to go. We in the Student Government would like to thank all the club members on campus who recently expressed their views to the Student Government on a recent issue that they felt affected them directly. Although the help we could give them was somewhat limited by laws we were able to clear the air substantially. This is the kind of thing it take to have a strong Student Government organization. Recently, S.G.A. initiated a program in cooperation with the Athletic Department that allowed us to invite stu- dents, any students, from the surrounding area to see a Saints game free of charge. Also questions, if there are any, could be answered. This will not be a lecture. We would hope that the students will enioy themselves and spread the word back home. This is an attempt to make all the surround- ing area aware of SCCJC and what it has to otter. S.G.A. would like to thank the hard-working staff of The Crusader for the space they have allotted us in this pub- chance they have given lication. We greatly appreciate the us to present our views and beliefs to all the student body. students of SCCJC the Also, we would like to wish all the best of luck on the upcoming finals. Don't forget the finals party on the 8th. ln conclusion, Seasons Greetings from all of us to all of you, the students, faculty, and adminis- tration of SCCJC. 119 Job class holds The final session of this term's How to Get a Job and Keep it class was held Nov. 27 in the Kansas Avenue classroom building of Seward County Com- munity College, with Charles Brisendine of, the Citizens State Bank as the speaker. The next class will begin in January, accordin-g to Mrs. Odes- sa Lewis, instructor, with the time to be arranged. Anyone in- terested should call Mrs. Lewis at 624-5965 or the Adult Educa- tion office of the college, 624- 1151. Brisendine emphasized giving of yourself, serving others, stay- ing with the task, maintaining pride and dignity, studying to prepare yourself to fulfill your dream. He recalled his childhood in Liberal when he saw dust storms, money shortages and hardships, yet some people, including his father, stayed and shared their skills and abilities with others, helping to make Liberal a city we now enjoy. Brisendine said that the ef- forts, desires, hardship and mis- ery his father encountered, work- ing with a physical defect, re- vealed to him that it isn't the limbs that make a man, but the desire. He also drew on his experi- ences in the Marines where he lived and learned under discip- line that regardless of how dif- final session ficult the task, stay with it to rise above the conditions. Brisendine advised always keeping your sense of values, setting your own standards, and staying with them. He gave the example of Dr. George Washing- ton Carver, great world-renown- ed black scientist who many years ago in a visit to the White House had to use the servants entrance, yet kept his dignity because his confidence was in God. To keep a job you need to love the job and make it a better position than when you took it, Brisendine said. He encouraged the class and Mrs. Lewis to forever use their God-given abilities, to be taught and to learn, and to help some- one else who needs assistance and share with others, as the class has done. The Rev. V. L. Bobbs, Mrs. Lewis' pastor, commended her for her work, including church work of house-to-house Bible study, and his baptism of 15 members claiming Christ through her teaching and for her college work and love and concern for all people in their spiritual, ec- onomic and social welfare. Class members presented Mrs. Lewis a set of jewelry as a gift and committed themselves to future fellowship with one another.
