Mem- bers of the club took an opinion poll in the Student Union on stu- dent attitudes and opinions of the Indian. They also have a collection of Indian artifacts on display on the second floor of Epworth Hall. In addition to this, they are selling candles made by the men- tally retarded. A percentage of the money made on this project will be used by the Psychology Club for field trips to the Cen- tral State Institute in Edmund and to the institute at Fort Sup- ply, sometime in March. The rest of the money received from Rodney Riech, Maxine Swearin- gen, Billie White, and George Wilcox. Returning members are: Gail Crafton, President, Cathy Glenn, Vice-President, Randy Verble, Secretaryg Marla Nix, Treasurerg Charles Collins, S.G.A.

Fees are 31.00 a year, and membership is open to all stu- dents. For their meetings, they of- ten have films and guest speak- ers. In the past, they have had a hypnotist give a lecture and demonstration on hypnosis. They also have sponsored a Halloween party, and a Christmas scaven- ger hunt. This semester, they are plan- ning on a field trip to the South- west Guidance Center or to the alcoholism and drug abuse foun- dation. Science Club is active at SCCJC Science Club is not a national or statewide organ-ization for scientific investigation designed around experimentation, but an interest clubg one in which ex- periences are shared. Science Club has sponsored a turkey shoot, rummage sales and bake sales to raise money for excursions to different parts of the country. Last year they went through parts of Colorado and New Mexico on a camping trip built around the geology of that area. This year, they are thinking about going to Missouri or Arkansas to view some of the caves in that area. They have also talked about raising enough money to take a short trip to Palo Duro Canyon in Texas, near Amarillo. At the beginning of fall semes- ter and the last of spring se- mester, Science Club has a pic- nic for all members. Their meetings are set up in such a way that attendance at Science Club meetings will not interfere with any other school activity. The club meets once a week, every other Tuesday morning, at the Golden Derrick, for break- fast at 6:30 a.m., and on the other Tuesdays, they meet at 9:00 p.m. in room C of the classroom building. On March 10, Science Club is planning to go to the Hays Mu- seumg then, in April, they plan to have a guest speaker who will lecture and show slides on the nervous system. Psychology Club is invited, and anyone else who is interested. Science Club will be sponsor- ing another rummage sale this spring, and a trap shoot at the Plains Gun Club in order to raise funds for their trips. Any- one interested in joining the club or attending meetings of interest is welcome. The club is not set up primarily for Science Majors, but for everyone. 69 13 new members thers, Larry Howard, Ronda Hubbard, Becky Strange, and Kay Stoddard. Phi Theta Kappa is a national organization with local chapters in colleges all over the United States. SCCJC's own Chi Alpha Chapter is now serving as Sec- retary for the statewide organ- ization of chapters. Mrs. Pauline Toland and four members went to the state convention at Hutch- inson on February 23 and 24. Every year each local chap- ter participates in Phi Theta Kappa's study program. This year Chi Alpha is studying the visual arts, music, and literature. Membership in the local chap- ter of Phi Theta Kappa is based solely on the student's scholas- tic honors and citizenship, and in order to be eligible to enter, a student must be carrying or must have completed at least 15 credit hours while main-taining a 3.35 or better grade point av- erage. After completing thirty hours, a student attaining a 3.25 or better grade point average is eligible. Board re-employs The Board of Trustees of Se- ward County Community College Tuesday night, Feb. 13, accepted a recommendation that the cur- rent faculty be re-employed for another year, with minor chang- es in responsibilities. Dr. Dale Gibson, president, re- ported on the recent meeting of the Board-Faculty Committee and stated the committee was functioning satisfactorily. A eom- mittee from the Board meets periodically with the faculty welfare committee. Dr. Gibson also reported that he had met recently with the high school athletes here, coach- es and athletic director, in con- nection with athletes from Lib- eral attending other community colleges. The college board vot- ed to offer all assistance possi- ble. Gibson also reported on the out-reach programs offered by community colleges in Western Kansas and states that repre- I SCCJC clowns Cowley County SCCJC had little problem in polishing off cellar-dwelling Cowley County 69-56 to run its league record to 6-4, Saturday, Feb. 17. They didn't have to put out much effort to get past Cowley County. The Saints missed their first 12 shots from the field, or else they would have broken the game open much sooner. The cold shooting, 31 for 92, continued much of the game but Seward won the game on simply overmatching the Tigers on ta- lent. The Saints threw four double figure scorers at Cowley, Dale Doll 17 points, Coleman Craw- ford 15, Mike Williams 12 and Stan Vaughn 10. From a 30-26 halftime lead the Saints outscoredlCowley 8-2 at the start of the second half to open a 38-28 lead. The Tigers never got closer than six points after that. Head Coach Virgil Akins play- ed his reserves the final minutes of the game. faculty for 73-74 sentatives of the various schools will soon draw up areas te be serviced by each college. The president also expressed the college's concern to cooper- ate in relieving a parking prob- lem involving students brought to the college's attention by Po- lice Chief Robert Morrissey. Merchants between Fifth and Sixth on North Kansas had com- plained at a recent city com- mission meeting that students were taking all the parking pos- itions for long periods during the business day. Dr. Gibson said the college has requested that students, fa- culty and staff not park on the west side of Kansas in this block. Dr. Gibson gave a feasibility report on a plan for remodeling Epworth into a college dormi- tory to provide 107 beds in the first phase of the program in- volving only the new wing. The plan is under study, but it is hoped the dormitory can be available next year.

Soinis defeat Dodge City February 1 The Big Green zipped past the Dodge City Conqs and onto an 84-75 Western Division victory Tuesday, Feb. 13, before a small gathering which came out to watch the important conference contest in Rindom Hall after it had been postponed from Janu- ary 27 by the weather. Seward County countered with a strong scoring night by Donnel Brundidge, Coleman Crawford and Mike Williams. Brundidge bagged 26, Williams had 20 and Crawford 18. The trio also paved the way for SCCJC's lopsided 65-49 re- bounding advantage. Crawford hit the boards as though his life depended on it and hauled off 20 caroms. Williams picked off 18 missed shots and Brundidge 16. With the Saints not operating from their offense or getting penetration Dodge City took the Soinis score Hutch bul' lose 97-90 Hutch's Dragons averted a third straight upset loss at the hands of the Seward County Saints with nifty outside shoot- ing down the stretch to rack up a tough 97-90 decision in Rindom Hall Friday night, Feb. 9. The Western Division leader, and the 11th ranked juco quin- tet in the nation, trailed' the spunky Big Green 75-69 with 7:53 left in the game. The lead, which came on con- secutive baskets by Curt White, Dale Doll and Foster Young on a follow shot to break a 69-69 standoff, seemed to wake up the Dragons. Seward County put up a good battle. They held the upper hand most of the night and fought the war of the boards almost on even keel with the taller Dra- gons. The Saints led by as many as six points twice in the first half and settled for a 43-39 advan- tage at intermission. Donnell Brundidge got the first bucket of the second half as the lead went back to six. Hutch went ahead 50-49 and turned the game into an old-fashioned tug-of-War until the Saints spurt .put them on top by six. But Hutchinson reeled off eight straight points to go out in front 81-79. Brundidge tied it one last time at 81-81 with 4:03 remaining in the contest. Then 6-9 Rudy Jackson, who'll be playing for Wichita State next year, put in a turn around jumper on the baseline. SewCo came down, shot once, missed with Hutch rebounding. Kenny Joe Love converted a three- point play to make it 86-81 with 3:30 left. Brundidge got two points back on a pair of freebies before Hutch put in five unanswered points to take charge of the game 97-83 with 2:31 left. SCCJC never got closer than four points. Young scores high as Soinis down Foster Young waited until his final regular season game as a Seward County Saint to really erupt. His offensive efforts couldn't have come at a better time. With Young scoring 31 points, including the final 11, the Seward County Saints roared from be- hind to cinch a third place tie by trimming the Dodge City Conqs 71-67 Saturday, March 3. Young was simply super as he led the Saints back from an 11- point deficit in the final nine minutes. On the verge of elimination, despite displaying an extremely spirited performance, the Saints hit a cold spell and the Conqs 53-42 with the game. The Saints then Dodge City 14-3 over the next five minutes with Young's driv- ing layup shot tying the game at 56-all with 4:15 to play. Brad Pagenkopf sank three straight baskets to keep the Conqs on top. DC's last lead was 63-60 with 2:13 left. Seward County took the lead when Young picked up a loose rebound and put it back in from eight-feet away. Twenty-three seconds la- ter, he was on the scoring end fell behind 9:06 left in outscored early lead of the game, 7-2, and led throughout the first half. The score was tied only once 28-28 with 3:49 left, and the Saints never led. The Conqs led at intermission 40-38. Dodge City got the first four points of the second half to scoot out to a 44-38 advantage. The Conquistadors still led 50- 44 on a short jump shot by Mel- vin Coleman with 15:19 left in the period when the Saints be- gin to jell. Dodge scored only one field goal over the next five minutes to Seward County would either force a turnover or limit DC to one missed shot. Seward finally took the lead 54-52 on a jump shot by Curt White. He added another one before fouling out with 11:17 left in the game. The big three, Brundidge, Williams plus Doll put in field goals as the Saints opened up a 64-56 lead. Dodge City made one final bid to overhaul the Saints when they trimmed the lead down- to two points twice, 66-64 and 68-66, but. buckets by Brundidge and Wil- liams again raised the margin to six. The Conqs were behead- ed. Seward County put up a sea- son high of 99 shots with 36 finding the ran-ge for 36.2 per- cent. Not good but better than Dodge's 35.7 on 30 out of 84. From the line the Saints were 15 of 21 while DC dropped in 12 of 18 chances. The Conqs did lead in turnovers 20-14. Garden stops Saints 77-50 al' GCCC The Seward County Saints lost to Garden City 77-50, Tuesday, Feb. 27 at Garden. Previously, Garden lost by 16 points in Rindom Hall C96-803 but won in a 27-point rout Feb. 27. The Big Green played a fair- ly good first half. They jumped out in front 4-0 and 6-2 in the early going, and led 22-21 with 4:59 to go before intermission. They were down only 32-30 at the break. In the last half, Seward Coun- ty collapsed. They were out- scored 45-20. Cold shooting hampered the offense at the offset, and when the de- Garden the ball wouldn't drop, fense also fell apart. City riddled the Saints on the fast break, or by hitting a man wide open underneath. At one point in the mess, the Busters had outscored the Saints 30-6. Sew'Co made only three field goals in 14 minutes. The official book didn't have a Saint scoring in double fig- uresg however, Seward County statistics recorded Dale Doll with 11 points on 5 of 11 from the field and 1 for 2 at the line. The Saints made only 23 of 82 attempts for 28 per cent, con- nected on just 4 of 11 free throw attempts, and made 19 turnovers. Dodge for 3rd in Conference of a Donnel Brundidge to Mike Williams to Young fast break which put the Saints ahead 64-63 with 1:15 left in the game. Dodge City turned the ball over with 1:01 remaining with Youngs driving layup giving SCCJC a 66-63 advantage with 48 seconds to go. He was fouled on the shot and converted the free throw to make it 67-63. However, the Conqs, who fin- ish in a sixth place tie with Garden City, didn't give up easy. Pagenkopf again hit to cut the deficit two, 67-65, with 27 sec- onds left. The key play came when the 68 Saints had trouble getting the ball down court with the Conqs kicking it out of bounds. Seward played it in from the side at Dodge City's end of the court. Young broke fullJlength with Brundidge's long-distance pass, from out of bounds, finding his teammate all alone underneath his own bucket for an easy two points. Young completed his heroics and cinched the Saints initial playoff berth after four years of trying by makin-g both ends of a one-and-one with three seconds remaining.

Playoff lost Coffeyville's Red Ravens de- feated the Seward County Saints 80-58 points Monday afternoon, March 5, in the opening game of the Region VI playoffs at Hutch- inson. The Saints, who made the playoffs only by the skin of their teeth after Head Coach Virgil Akins won a coin flip over But- ler County Sunday, didnit have the heavy guns to stay with the Ravens who earned a spot in the postseason action by winning the eastern division. Coffeyville downed 34 of 60 shots from the field for 56.6 per- cent to the Saints 26 for 67 or 38.8 per cent. Seward County, which finishes its season with a final record of 11-14, was never really in the game against Coffeyville. The Ravens were ahead 28-12 with 5:12 remaining before in- termission when the Saints put on a spurt, behind the shooting of sophomores Donell Brundidge and Foster Young, to close it to 36-30 by the break. The second half began with Coffeyvilleis Don Turnetine and Dale Doll exchanging baskets before the Ravens reeled off six straight points, and then contin- ued to widen the margin. Charles Evans, 6-4 Red Raven forward, led his team in both scoring and rebounding with 21 points and nine caroms. Lanard Reid pocketed 17 and Turnetine 14. Brundidge, who picked up four fouls in the first half, collected his fifth with 15:33 left in the game. He fouled out with 10 points, all coming in the first 20 minutes. Foster Young fin- ished as the Saints high point man with 15 while Mike Wil- liams had 14. Saints 'fall to The Barton County Cougars handed the Seward County Saints a smahing 90-56 setback in a key western division game, Mon- day Feb. 19 at Great Bend. The Cougars did the bombing in their last home game of the season. Things began poorly for the Saints. After the first 10 minutes of play they were trailing 18-4, The candidates . . and the Queen and her court 'U' 1 I Homecoming Queen is Teresa Taber Saturday night, Feb. 24, was a night of pageantry for the Se- ward County Saints at Rindom Hall. Eleven beautiful girls were escorted through the hushed crowd to the stage to await the announcement of the Homecom- ing Queen and her court. It was a night for the Saints to say hello to a new queen, and to say goodbye forever to Rindom Hall as their home court. There was time for sentiment after the game at the home- coming dance, but in the pre- game ceremonies, one thought was shared by everyone, Who will be Queen? The announcer, Gene Clark, seemed indifferent to the crowd's feelings of impatience as he read the list of winners. Marci Lee was announced as second runner up. Tying for first run- ner up were Susan Carlile and Debbie Batt. Finally, the announcement of the new queen was made: Teresa Taber graciously took her place as SCCJC's second homecoming queen. Pratt defeated 88-75 It was the last game for three Seward County sophomores in Rindom Hall, but it was a pair of freshmen who led the way for the Saints to dispose of the Pratt Beavers 88-75 in Rindom Hall Saturday, Feb. 24. The Homecoming game drew almost a full house. The crowd watched a first half defensive duel which emerg- ed into an offensive slugfest the final 20 minutes. The final game in Rindom Hall saw sophs Donnel Brundidge, Coleman Crawford and Foster Young ending their home ca- freers. However, the 2nd half free-for-all was led by frosh Curt White and Dale Doll. White finished with 26 points and Doll put in 20. The Saints mustered the up- per hand at intermission 33-30. Pratt scored the first four points of the second half to signal the battle to begin. The lead exchanged hands 12 times and the score was tied four, the last at 67-67, before the Saints took the lead for good 75-74 with 3:32 left in the game. Enroute to taking charge, the Big Green had to overcome a six-point Pratt advantage mid- way in the session. Once SCCJC got the lead, Pratt cooled off while the Saints remained hot. The Beavers then got desperate and began gunning from anywhere, and everywhere, in an attempt to get back in the game. Instead, the shots missed and Seward County pulled away to smash the Beavers' playoff hopes. In the final 3:23, Seward County outscored Pratt 15-1 to avenge a loss at Pratt. Barton County 90-56 in major setback had made only 1 of 10 shots from the field and had made five turnovers. However, the Saints struck back. Foster Young coverted a rare four-point play to chip the lead down to six, 20-14. Later, Curt White's tipin reduced the margin down to four 24-20. Twice in the final 3:30 the fightin' Saints pulled to within thrcc points, 29-26, and 31-28, before the Cougars broke into a 39-30 intermission lead. After the Saints got the first two points of the second half, Barton County pulled away for good. SCCJC was never closer than seven the final 20 minutes. With 15 minutes left in the game, the Cougars put on a spurt which outscored SCCJC 15-2 over the next seven minutes 70 to open up a 63-40 advantage with 8:52 left in the game. The Saints were drowned in free throws. While SCCJC put in 8 of 10 attempts Barton County had 32 chances and con- verted on 24. The only Scoring punch the Big Green could muster was White who was the only Saint to reach double figures with 16 points.
