New Degrees Several important matters were acted on at the Oct. 20th meeting of the Board of Trustees of Southwestern College, including the establish- ment of several new degrees to be offered at SC, further exploration of the proposed merger with other colleges, and a tuition increase. The board acted to continue the present Bach- elor of Arts and Bachelor of Music degrees and to establish three new degrees. They are Bache- lor of Science, Bachelor of Business Administra- tion and Bachelor of Philosophy. These new degrees will assist in relating the programs of the college to the needs of the students. President Ruthenberg discussed the merger proposals that have been suggested with the College of Emporia and Kansas Wesleyan Uni- versity. The Board voted to support the action taken by the Executive Committee and President Ruthenberg in exploring the possibilities of a merger with location in Winfield. The Board voted to raise tuition $100 per year, bringing the annual figure to $1,500. It was pointed out that this increase will not affect the tuition rate for current students at Southwestern. Of the 19 private colleges and universities in the State of Kansas, Southwestern ranks as one of the lowest in tuition costs. Another Graduate ltl've got to believe in something to be able to sell it e and that's easy with Southwestern Col- Iegef claims Rick Johnson, the newest addition to the admissions department at Southwestern. Johnson, a 1969 graduate of Southwestern, began November 1st as a college representative in the admissions department. He is presently working the western one-third of the state of Kansas. He will also be working in the Colorado area later. After receiving a BA. degree in biology from SC in 1969, Johnson attended the School of Theology at Boston University. He transferred to the School of Education and received his Master of Education degree in Counseling in 1971. Before joining the staff at Southwestern he had been supervisor of counseling at North Cottage Program in Boston, a program for alcoholic men. llAtter my work at North Cottage, Johnson recalled, I was ready to work with the younger population more my own age. I wanted to get into college work. President Ruthenberg con- tacted me and I decided that the position at Southwestern was just what I wanted? Johnson is married to the former Rita Webster, a 1970 home econOmics graduate at SC. Curren+ Even+s Rick Johnson

Changes Several changes in faculty were announced last month. David Williams, instructor in voice, will leave Southwestern at the end of the current academic year. His contract was not renewed, but this was strictly a matter of student-faoulty ratio in the music department, Dr. Earl Dungan will be leaving the education department. He resigned his position after accepting a job in Topeka on the State Board of Accreditation. The new head of the education department will be Lewis Gilbreath, formerly Dean of Students. Millie Warren will take over as the new Dean of Students. She is the only female dean of students in the State, and one of the few in the country. These changes became effective January lst, 1973. S.AA. The Student Activities Association was busy thru the months of October, November and December in bringing some outstanding enter- tainment to the campus. Not to be included in this list was lkJohn Manning who gave the col- lege students a lesson in how to earn a quick buck without having to work for it. Hired to play for at least two and one half hours Manning and his back-up group llWhite Dog played exactly tour short songs, fiddled around with equipment and proceeded to take a break all in the first hour of the show. During the next hour John changed into a snazzy outfit tsupposedly to indi- cate that he was a real superstari, fiddled around with some more equipment and played psycho- logical games with the audience. Between the fun and games HWhite Dog tespecially the lead guitarist and the pianist-flutisti played some pretty decent musics The concert itself had a split kind of reception - either you liked it or you didn't. There was no in between. Finally, this edi- tor would like to take the opportunity to quell the all but dead rumors that the drummer for l'White Dog was formerly the drummer for the famous Dave Clark Five Group. This, folks, was impossi- ble because the drummer for the D C. Five was none other than Mr Dave Clark himself, The gentleman on the drums was not Dave Clark. 1 don't know who he was. Also included on the SAA slate were two very good rock, dance bands a HEverybodyls Every- thing', and HBlackberry Winter? The students in attendance enjoyed the music of both groups. Last but not least was the enchanting movie ltThe Ballad of Cable HogueH starring Jason Robards, Jr. The film was about a man who faces death, life, the desert, and his God, all with style and equanimity. Most everyone was sur- prised about the quality of the film and a few felt that it was the best ever presented at this col- lege. We hope 8AA continues its line perform- ance. Earl Dungan
