1 989-90 school year

Two years of hard work, put in by faculty and staff at Cowley, came to an end in November of 1989, with a visit from the North Central Association evaluation team.

It was the team's job to evaluate the College and announce the time period before the next evaluation. Following the exit interview Nov. 15, the College was given

10-years before another team will visit the campus. The team's recommendation was reviewed and received final approval from the NCA Commission in March. Anticipation of the NCA visit actually began in 1987 when the NCA self-study task committees, made up of Cowley faculty and staff, began compiling information for the College's Plan ofAction and Self Study. Those documents were submitted to the Commission of Insti- tutions of Higher Education in January of 1988 and were approved.

Cowley County Community College has experienced many changes during the past year - changes that are not only beneficial to students, staff and faculty, but to the community as well. We are proud of the accomplishments of the past year and hope that the 1990-91 school year brings many more positive challenges for the administration.

Winds of Change Blow Through Athletics

Coaching, facilities changes give athletic department new look

In Cowley's athletic department, 1992-93 can best be described as the year of changes. Two head basketball coaches, five assistant coaches and a trainer were hired during that period. And toward the end of the academic year, coaches moved into new offices located on the lower level of W.S. Scott Auditorium. First-year Athletic Director Larry Tuma began filling vacated positions in the spring of 1993. He started with the head basketball coaches.

Mark Nelson, assistant coach at Butler County Community College since 1989, became Cowley's men's head coach, and DeAnn Craft, the top assistant for Wichita State University's women's team, became Cowley's women's head coach.

Ben Cleveland hadn't been caught off guard this badly in the 34 years he coached and taught at Cowley. The day was July 30, 1994, and Cleveland had no idea what was going on.

"I guess I was naive," Cleveland told The Arkansas City Traveler. "I never thought anything would get under my nose." Cleveland's wife Irene, his best friends and a few of his former players pulled off the ultimate surprise with a retirement party and reunion all in one. Cleveland coached Cowley's football team from 1960 to 1977. His teams won 79 games during that span, and two of his teams - the 1962 and 1972 squads - were ranked in the top 15. The 1972 squad finished ranked 13th in the nation. Prior to the reunion, friends and former players were asked to share their fondest memories of coach Cleveland. Following are some CCCC President Pat McAtee presents Ben Cleveland with a plaque for his outstanding: excerpts from a scrapbook supplied service to the college and community for 34 years as his wife Irene looks on. by Irene Cleveland: Ray D.

It Was Another Successful Year for the Orange and Black Tigers

Several new faces joined the Tiger athletic department during the 1993- 94 season, including two new head coaches. DeAnn Craft took over as head women's basketball coach and Mark Nelson was named head men's coach. Craft guided the Lady Tigers to the school's fourth-best season ever, a 25-7 overall record, 11-3 in the Jayhawk Conference East. Teresa Cotton and Georgiana Geleriu earned second-team all-Region VI honors and first-team all-Jayhawk Conference laurels. Cotton, a freshman from St. Louis, Alio., averaged nearly 17 points per game, while Geleriu, a freshman from Romania, averaged 12 points per game.

ne of the marks of a quality institution is how well its students 1 measure up to their academic peers. True, Cowley County «n 1 Community College and Area Vocational-Technical School recruits excellent students. But it has to go beyond that in order for those students to reach their maximum potential.

That is why we take so much pride in our team of faculty. Year- in and year-out a good number of them are honored nationally with

Teaching Excellence awards at the National Institute for Staff and

Organizational Development in Austin, Texas. They share what they're doing here at Cowley with their colleagues at the national level.

You can look to the quality instruction as a big reason Cowley has had four of the last five outstanding students named in the nt s?itj j Kansas Association of Community Colleges. Four of the last five.

That's pretty impressive when you consider there are nearly 60,000 community college students in Kansas.

The 1994-95 academic year was a special one at Cowley for a variety of reasons. Five of our faculty members received national teaching awards, 14 presented at NISOD, and three students captured either top state or high national awards for their hard work and dedication in and out of the classroom.

And our commitment to providing the highest quality facilities continues. The Brown Center for Arts, Sciences and Technology opened for classes in August 1994.

We have done a lot of great things at Cowley, but so much still needs to be done. Cowley has had a reputation for being aggressive in its quest to be the best, and that will continue. Our commitment to our customers — both internal and external — will remain at the forefront of our decisions as we position the college for the 21st century. Our students have high academic standards. That's evident by J all the state and national recognition they receive. I challenge the next group of students to maintain those lofty goals and to work hard to achieve them.

Walker attended cultural, social and athletic events in which students were involved. If a decision adversely affected Cowley students, Walker was quick to vote it down during Board meetings.

His first love was technical education. He spent many years Albert Bacastow Jr. teaching vocational agriculture after graduating from Kansas State

University. He had his own real estate business in Arkansas City and had worked at The Home National Bank in its agriculture loan department.

Technical education was so much a part of Walker's life that

Cowley named the Harold B. Walker Industrial Technology building in his honor in 1993.

"His whole life was committed to the institution," McAtee said. "He had seen the overall growth and development of this institution."

McAtee said the stability Walker gave the Board of Trustees was crucial.

"Harold just wasn't a participant at the meetings, he was a long-term stable foundation of the board," McAtee said.

Brown C enter ready lor classes during 1994-V3 academic year

everal years ago a group of people at Cowley County Community College and Area Vocational-Technical School had

a vision that one day the college and community would share a

beautiful building that would enhance the cultural and educational

opportunities for citizens of south-central Kansas and northern

Oklahoma. On Nov. 30, 1992, that vision became a reality.

Two years later, students, faculty, staff and members of the community began using the Brown Center for Arts, Sciences and

Technology. Classrooms were ready to use in time for the fall

semester in August 1994. Meanwhile, workers finished the exterior work on the theater portion of the building.

While the 1994 fall semester drew to a close, plans were made

to dedicate the multi-purpose room. On Dec. 1, 1994, the Earle N.

Wright Community Room and Gallery was dedicated in the pres-

ence of hundreds of people. Bea Wright, wife of the late Earle N. Wright, accepted a plaque during the dedication. The college also

honored Bill Docking and named the new dormitory on Fifth Street the William R. Docking Dormitory, and the dorm on Fourth Street the Kirke W. Dale Dormitory.

Work inside the Brown Center continued. Outside, a special

dedication took place May 6, 1995. The flagpole, provided by the

Class of 1953 from Arkansas City High School, was dedicated to all students who attended ACHS between 1923 and 1982. Many of the 1953 high school graduates became 1955 graduates of the college.

The Brown Center was a busy building during the 1994-95

academic year, despite the fact that the theater portion was not com-

pleted. Seven classrooms are located on the lower level, and each

can accommodate as many as 40 students. The Social Science and

Humanities divisions also are located in the building. Each is

equipped with a conference room and work area. The college's

interactive television network also is located in the building on the

upper level, as well as the art and vocal and instrumental music programs.

Several community functions took place in the Wright

Community Room during the spring 1 995 semester. Artwork from

a variety of artists also was displayed during that time, including a

faculty art show organized by Doug Hunter.

im Gottlob of Arkansas City was named Outstanding Student

.of the Year during the annual "Celebration of Excellence"

awards banquet in April 1995 at the college. Gottlob, a sophomore elementary education major, was cho-

sen from a field of eight who had been named students of the month

throughout the academic year. Gottlob was named student of the month for January 1995.

"I am really shocked and really excited about it," said Gottlob,

who is considered an outstanding role model by her peers. "This

means a lot to me. I feel I've worked real hard for this award."

More than 100 Cowley students were honored at the banquet,

attended by nearly 300 people. Awards were presented to students

involved in clubs, organizations and activities. Dr. Patrick J.

McAtee, Cowley president, served as master of ceremonies.

Gottlob is the daughter of Darrell and the late Jerre Gottlob.

Her list of accomplishments is extensive. Besides serving Cowley's student body as president of the

Student Government Association, Gottlob is secretary of Kansas

Association of Community Colleges, is a Student Ambassador, the

campus coordinator for Service Learning Central, is a member of the Student Affairs Committee, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Awareness Council, Phi Theta Kappa, Concert Choir, and C.C.

Singers. Other honors she has received at Cowley include the Dean's Honor Roll, Who's Who Among Students of American Junior Colleges and she was named an All-American Scholar. Dean of Students Maggie Picking presented Gottlob with the award.

"My brother (Brett) won this award when he was here,"

Gottlob said. "He won so many awards and always kind of rubbed

it in."

Gottlob has followed in the footsteps of her brother and her

sister Kristy, both of whom graduated from Cowley. Kim said

Cowley always was the college for her.

"I didn't think about anywhere else," Gottlob said. "My whole

family went here. The whole time I knew I was going here." In February, Gottlob was chosen as one of the five homecom-

ing queen candidates and also was a Queen Alalah candidate last

October. She said being active at Cowley was crucial to becoming

a successful, well-rounded student.

"Last year I tried to get more involved," she said. "And this

year I've gotten to know more people a lot better. This award is

something I will always take with me."

Gottlob carries a 3.52 grade-point average and is studying to

become a second-grade teacher. This spring she has spent time at

Jefferson Elementary School where her mother used to teach,

observing the second-grade teachers there.
