He comments on spring play Having a unique point of view on

the whole situation, I have many good comments about "Meanwhile, Back on the Couch." I think things went well from both backstage and front Friday night. Also, having attended a few rehearsals, I can say it has traveled a smooth road.

Opening night is considered "the big night," and this night was no exception. From day one, the acting was very good. Friday night it seemed each person had a few glow- ing moments with a few that stick out. Michael Koch, Misty Orban, Jim Menill, and Gloria Renz (Albert,

I also think special credit should go out to Brett Landon, (Roy,) who gave 100% before and on Friday night on both sides of the production. Lights and sound looked nice and sounded great. Doug Jones should be mentioned, covering on nights that I could not attend to help with the lights.

I have rarely seen a more superb performance.

I have only seen one other director as concerned and dedicated as Kay Mueller. In the short time she had, about a month, she put out a well-

rehearsed, well-prepared cast. It takes dedication to use one's own furniture on stage (the desk, for examde).

Hats off to all of the people back- stage opening night. As I stated earlier, lights went smoothly despite the out-of-date systerh. From ti6Eet- takers to make-up, things were well- manned. The set was started early, constructed, and perfected up to the last possible minute.

I have very few criticisms to offer. Being an actor, I think some lines

went a little fast. I also think lighting and sound cues were off at times by about a second or split second in places, such as at intermission and at the end. A few early lines got botched, but these actors covered incredibly well. These items were probably not noticed by the audience.

In conclusion, I would like to extend applause to anyone I left out. It will be a pleasure to work for and/ or with some of these people again.

Good luck to all going on to brighter things.

C A M P U S L I F E IRS From page 1Sunny Powers retires from DMACC Service. The Center in Kansas City

by KAROL J. HICKS Editor-In-Chief

Sunny Powers, who has helped hundreds of students earn their GED, taught numerous courses and was most recently director of the Boone Campus Learning Center, will be retiring after a 16 year stay at DMACC.

Powers began her career here at DMACC in the Learning Center, then located in the current part-time teachers office. Hired part-time, but with no contract, she initially was involved with people who wanted to earn their General Education Degree (GED). She was later granted a full- time contract.

In her second quarter at DMACC she taught English as a second language. Since she had a Master's Degree from ISU in English, English instructors would send their students to her for tutoring.

"My mother was a very good example for me. No matter how many times life knocked her down, she always said, 'Start over, don't give up' and I've tried to remember that. No one can take education away from you. You may lose everything else, but never that."

"Your attitude toward life is your ultimate freedom of choice. You can control how you meet anything that life throws at you," Powers added.

At one time or another, Powers has taught basic math, introductory algebra, English as a second language, study skills, developmen- tal reading, basic writing, writing skills review, Spanish, composition I and 11, intro to children's literature, humanities through the arts and speech.

A womanPowers tutored in algeb- ra years ago happened to call her recently from Arkansas. Powers recalled walking the woman step by step through all the proffered math courses. Now this woman designs kitchens for a living. She said that thanks to Powers, she earned a degree in design, and called to renew acquaintances. She expressed her gratitude to Powers for sticking with her.

Math and English were Powers' favorite subjects as a student, and remain her favorites to teach. She received her Bachelor's Degree in 1972 at Iowa State University, and upon graduating, was asked to join the faculty to teach English. Powers earned her Master's Degree in 1975.

Powers met her husband Rod. as college freshmen in Fort Collins, CO, while attending a Christian camp in Red Feather Lakes, CO. They married in his senior year of college.

The couple will be doing extensive traveling after he retires from 30 years of teaching business manage- ment at ISU in January of 1992.

One trip will be Australia and New Zealand, where son Mark lives with his wife. Mark has a music degree

and originally went to Australia to teach music, but ended up the Austra- lian Frisbee champion for four years. Toltoy (manufacturers of Frisbee) hired him as their representative, and he has been "down under" ever since.

Another trip will be to Bogota, Peru, to visit daughter Melody, her husband, and three children, includ- ing a set of twins. Melody and her husband have been missionaries there for the last 12 years.

Cleveland, Ohio will be another stop, to visit son Kit and his wife. Kit is a doctor and just beginning a four year fellowship in cardiology research at Case Western University.

Daughter Cindy. and her children, live in theBoone area, so the Powers' don't have far to go to visit with her.

Son Rick lives in Lima, Peru, with his wife and daughter. He is finishing up a two yearcontract of teaching ata mission school, and plans to return to the U.S. in July of this year.

Sunny has been a busy lady through the years. She has been a member of a ladies trio for 30 years in her church, and also sings in the choir. She is very involved in church work. especially with international students. She is involved in an adop- tion program with four Indonnesian students, and has them over for supper occasionally.

The Boone Campus Learning Center employees and Doris Wick- man from the book store are planning a retirement reception for June 11. More details will be available in the near future, but were not available at presstime.

Jinny Silberhorn, who will be taking Sunny Powers' place in the Learning Center said, "It will be nearly impossible to replace Sunny. She is an exceptional woman, very versified, diplomatic, and know-ledgeable in many subjects. She has alwaysrelated well with the students.

employs approximately 4,000 fuli- time and 2,000 seasonal employees. Always in need of new employees, a system of employee rewards is used to recognize outstanding employees.

The tour began with the issuance of I.D. badges. Security is tight in the 10-acre building. After a brief welcome from the head of public affairs, thegroup was guided through the building by two IRS employees.

One of the first points was to clear up a misconception many taxpayers may have. Each tax return is handled by many people at the center, not just one. Each return is assigned a code number which makes it possible to locate a return anywhere in the process.

Tax returns can be located to with- in one minute of where it is in the building.

Layout of the building does not allow a tour to follow the route a return takes on its journey through the center. The overall effect, though, was of efficiency and organization.

Although long and tiring, the trip was described as "well worthwhile."

A final note for all of the environ- mentalists out there. All envelopes received by the IRS are saved for recycling. Returns are saved for future reference.

C A M P U S L I F E Rotaract has busy spring

by KAROL J. HICKS Editor-In-Chief

The Boone Campus Rotaract Club has been busy this semester. They visited River Valley Residence, led a springtime campus clean-up, held a bake sale, and helped the city of Boone plant trees for the annual Johnny Appleseed project.

On Thursday, April 4, members of the Rotaract Club drove out to the River Valley Residence to visit with the pwple who live there. They p l a y ed Win, Lose or Draw, made friend-ship bracelets and danced, before having a snack with many of the residents.

The club also went around the campus picking up paper, bottles, cans and other trash from the grounds. Each person helping waq given a trash bag to fill, and many filled more than one. Students could help year-round by using the trash bins which are strategically placed by the front and rear doors of the building.

Rotaract also held a bake sale on Friday, April 12, to raise money for the scholarship fund. Each year the club tries to award two $100.00 scho-larships to local students. The bake sale was the club's effort to raise enough money for these scholar-ships, and it was a huge success rais-

' ing over $200.00.

The Johnny Appleseed project had a few participants this year, also. The aim was to plant 500 trees in areas around the city and many turned out to aid with delivering the trees,plant-ing them, spreading mulch and watering.

The Rotaract Club does not meet in the summer, but will start up again in the fall with election of officers at the first two meetings. The club is always looking for new members, so if you car) participate at all in this service organization, they'd be happy to have you. Just contact Lee McNair, advisor, or any Rotaract member for more information.

Sociology classes visit the River Valley Residential Services by CURT BLASKEY

Staff Writer When you hear about the River

Valley Residential Services, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

Wednesday-Thursday, April 3-4, 55 of Mr. McNair's sociology students found out exactly what the River Valley Residential Services was during a field trip to the facility.

The River Valley Residential Service is a non-profit organization located just south of Ridgeport in northern Boone County.

It is a place for pwple with mental retardation and mental illness, but it works to give the residents a chance to live by themselves through aprog-ram called the Transitional Living Program. This program we found out allows the residents to live by them-

by CURT BLASKEY Staff Writer

The Lady Bears have started the 1991 softball season with some tough competition. They remain winless at presstime.

In the first game of a doubleheader against Kirkwood, the Lady Bears could not get the bats going as they faced a tough team, which did not allow a hit or a run. Final score: 18-0.

In the second game of the double- header, Liz Miover went 2 for 3 and Jacquie Hughes went 1 for 3 with a double. Final: 12-0.

Next up was Creston. Karla Lilly rapped a two-run double in the bottom of the fifth for the Lady Bears only runs. Final: 18-2.

In the second game, Nicola Turner had a two-run single and Jennifer Reedholm had a RBI single as the Lady Bears scored all their runs in the bottom of the fourth. Final: 6-3.

Through eight games, the Lady Bears have a team batting average of .192, however they sport a very good fielding percentage of 343.

Rape is not just a four letter word by K A R O L J. H I C K S

Editor-In-Chief

Rape is not a pretty word, but it was the topic of discussion in Dr. W. Robert Taylor's human sexuality and gender roles class the first and second weeks of April. The word itself cannot be said without a mental image of some sort.

A video on the subject was seen on two consecutive days in Taylor's class. It was an emotion-laden film for his students to watch, and conjured up all sorts of forgotten feelings for me.

In the video, four rape victims met face to face with four convicted rapists, and shared with them their thoughts, fears, and anger. It was uncomfortable for all of them, at some time or other. But they did meet, and as each woman told her individual story, tension mounted on the screen.

Some laughter from across the room during the presentation sent me into the halls of DMACC, shaking uncontrollably. T h e obnoxious giggles came from a few male students who apparently thought that the subject was a humerous one. I did not.

Those four women bore their souls to the viewing audience, with few reservations about the content of their accusations. Attacks on the male perpetrators were safe, since they were all in a protected (and protective) atmosphere. The victims could finally express their anger to these men who were found guilty of the crime.

The women said they would NEVER get over the shock of the event, the shame they felt, or the hatred now ingrained within their souls. They informed the convicted rapists just how they felt at the time of their attacks, and at the present time.

They also told the men how they will never recover nor forget. I am writing this article to reinforce what those women said.

It is almost 30 years to the day, back in 1961, that I was forced into a car, a t knifepoint, and horribly raped and sodomized by four men. I was 15-years-old a t the time, and left for dead when they were through with me.

My story starts out innocently enough. On the night of the rape, I was simply walking in a part of town

THE SHELL by PAT GREEN

One day As I walked along the beach Alone and feeling sorry for myself I saw a shell I lifted it to my ear Hoping to hear the answer to all my problem But I heard only the sea Disappointed and angry I tossed the shell aside and walked on Yet, I kept thinking about what I had heard And I walked back to the shell And lifted it once more to my ear And what I heard amazed me Such a lovely, lonely sound I brushed the sand from the shell And brilliant colors shone through This is how I must see myself For who I am, Not who I want to be And to realize my own strengths and weaknesses But most of all Not to expect more from myself than I am able to give.

C A M P U S L I F E Center staff attends class

Six members of the Learning Center have just completed a 30 hour class on cooperative learning techniques.

Cooperative learning is a method of classroom instruction that uses small groups who work together, ensuring that all members of the group thoroughly understand the assigned material and that all, as a group, "sink or swim."

Much of the course was spent learning and perfecting ways to use this method in the classroom.

Sandie Krause, Jan Larson, Jeanne Roth, JoAnn Santage, Jinny Silber-horn and Sally Tanner took the class, along with instructors from DMACC's other Learning Centers and alternative schools.

DMACC students take a campus visit to U of I

by CURT BLASKEY Staff Writer

On Friday, April 5th, George Silberhorn, director of student services, Sharon Blaskey, secretary, and six DMACC students loaded up a van at 8:30 a.m. and journeyed to the University of Iowa.

Arriving at 11:W a.m., first on the agenda was a visit with a transfer admissions representative.

At noon, the prospective students were dismissed to partake in the local food fair.

The true campus tour began after lunch.

The tour itself ended at approxi-mately 2:30 that afternoon and was followed by the sorrowful journey back.

DMACC student Brian VerHelst noted, "The trip was very interesting, especially the scenery."

Fellow student Willie Jackson said, "1 thought the trip was okay and worthwhile. Although 1would have liked to stay and challenge the locals to a rousing game of five on five."
