Tabor College will have a new sport to add to its roster for the 2011-2012 year.

The executive team of Tabor College has passed the proposition to add a bowl-ing team to the campus’s available com-petitive sports.

“We have, for over six months, been talking about it because of what we’ve heard that a lot of high school students are interested in it,” said President Jules Glanzer. “It’s a real hot sport right now and there’s a lot of students who don’t get to continue on.”

Seventy-one schools in Kansas have bowling but very few colleges offer it. Baker University is the only school in the NAIA to offer the sport, according to Glanzer.

“There is a lack of colleges at the NAIA level that offer bowling,” Glanzer said. “If you are not a top bowler, you have no place to continue the sport.”

Some estimated benefits of having the sport: bowling students are normally more prepared for college with grade point averages around 3.2; bowling doesn’t require a large amount of money and bowling meets are on weekends so students won’t miss class.

“The season generally runs from Oc-tober through February, but the number of competitions as compared to most of the other sports is far less frequent,” said Vice President of Athletics Rusty Allen.

The team has some differing opinions in the student body. This seems connect-ed to how large the city was and how big their high school was.

“It’s a cool idea because you don’t

For many students, there just isn’t enough time in the semester.

Often, it can be difficult for students to get all the classes they need during the regular semester, especially if the students are going for more than one major, the classes are only offered every other year, or the stu-dent is trying to finish in less than four years.

A good solution for many of these students is taking online classes.

“Our summer online program allows students to attend Tabor College and ex-perience excellent education from their own location, on their own time,” said Adam Penner, director of enrollment management at Tabor College Wichita.

Summer School

At Tabor, it’s not what it used to beWichita branch of Tabor. The program began in 2007 when TC Wichita started having hybrid classes in their nursing pro-gram. In these classes, students met and did work both online and in classrooms.

The first fully online classes were of-fered in 2009. That same year, the school

started offering online classes over the sum-mer. This year, for the first time, the college is offering two sessions, enabling students to have a bigger variety when choosing summer courses.

Penner explained most online courses consist of synchronous and asynchronous learning methods.

Synchronous methods happen when students join in a live discussion or lec-

The selection process is fi-nally complete for the new Presi-dential Leadership Scholarship, a unique and unprecedented op-portunity for incoming freshman. Four scholars and two alternates were recently announced as the recipients of the renewable, non-stackable $16,000 scholarship, to begin this fall.

Those selected were Marissa

Hiett of Dinuba, Calif., Trenton Vogt of Claremore, Okla., Court-ney Erwin of Canyon, Texas, Ryan Jorgenson of Centen-nial, Colo., and alternates Katy Abramowich of Inverness, Fla., and Andrea Acker of Littleton, Colo.

The scholarship mission is to create a high capacity team of student leaders who will both influence the Hillsboro campus in a positive way and transition from college to society as game-changers in their chosen voca-

tion, said Linda Cantwell, vice president of enrollment manage-ment and marketing.

Candidates were required to have an ACT of 23 or above and a high-school GPA of 3.3 or above. They also submitted a general application, a resume demonstrating activities, ac-complishments and leadership experience, and specific essay responses. Once 18 finalists, or “fellows,” were determined, ap-plicants were also required to attend a final recognition and se-

For education students, the goal after graduation is to get a job teaching in a school.

However, in order to get a job, new teachers have to be licensed in the state they want to teach in.

Many colleges, including Tabor, can give out in-state licenses. However, they must first be accredited.

Accreditation is the process through which an education program is evaluated and given the authority to issue licenses to qualified students.

Although Tabor is currently accred-ited, the certification only lasts for certain number of years. Last week, the educa-tion department had to go through the evaluation process for re-accreditation.

Tabor is accredited by two similar or-ganizations. It receives state accreditation from the Kansas State Department of Ed-ucation. This is the organization that al-lows them to give Tabor students Kansas teaching licenses.

Tabor is also accredited by a national organization.

The National Council for Accredita-tion of Teacher Education, or NCATE, is a national standard that would prove Ta-bor has a high quality education program.

Although the NCATE accreditation won’t allow Tabor to hand out any extra licenses, it does prove that teachers grad-uating from Tabor have undergone rigor-

Photo by Brittany SchneiderSinging the gospelMembers of the newly formed student-led gospel choir, freshman Henry Kellumen, senior Josh Murphy, freshman Brian Mendoza, and freshman Aaron Annis rehearse on March 3. According to student leader freshman Hannah Evans, the new choral group will hopefully get the chance to travel in the future.

Each year the Tabor College choir goes on a tour over Spring Break.

Imagine if an opportunity would be presented to be a part of a gospel choir tour in the near future.

Those are the goals of junior Brandon Gooden and freshman Hannah Evans as they work to-gether to form Tabor College’s first gospel choir.

“President Glanzer called me in for a meeting; we were just talking and talking about putting a gospel choir together,” Evans said. “I saw something in his eye and I knew I was summoned to be a part of it.”

Campus pastor Wendell Loewen made an announcement to gauge interest but not much was expressed.

“I remember Wendell saying something about it,” Gooden said. “Soon after, Hannah Ev-ans also made an announcement and the more I heard about it the more it peaked my interest.”

When the idea of a gospel choir goes through the mind, many people imagine the soul and the energy of the perfor-mance.

“Gospel music is more out-spoken,” Gooden said. “You use a lot of energy during the music and clap your hands all the time.”

There are important factors in a gospel choir performance, ac-cording to Gooden, and they all

have to be executed well. “It’s about working together,”

Gooden said. “It’s not that we’re all together vocally, it’s that we’re all together spiritually.”

Evans has been in choir for much of her life and this is an opportunity that she wants to be a part of.

“Music has always been a big part of my life,” Evans said. “I want other people to experi-ence the joys that gospel music brings.”

New ministries are always welcome on college campuses

and Tabor falls in direct line with the idea.

“I see some students who are being shut off by some of the things Tabor provides,” Evans said. “I want to provide a new ministry opportunity that people could be apart of.”

When embarking on a new idea such as this, goals are a necessity and Gooden and Ev-ans have a few specific goals in mind.

“No matter what, we’re going to have to take baby steps with the process,” Gooden said. “At

this point I’d like to see us learn five to seven songs by the end of the semester.”

Chapel sessions meet twice a week and Gooden would also like to see the choir take advan-tage of that timeframe.

For Evans, she’d like to see the choir become an outreach opportunity.

“I’d love to be able to trav-el, probably not this year, but I think next year is a more realistic goal,” Evans said. “To be able to travel to churches and share this ministry would be a blessing.”

experience, articulate thinking and writing, interpersonal skills, and public speaking skills.

“These (students) have the potential to powerfully impact student culture,” Cantwell said. “Even a few more good student leaders could have a profound impact on a campus our size.”

This impact will be fostered through a four-year leadership laboratory. Although the specif-ics are still being designed, the scholars will travel with and shadow President Glanzer, meet with him monthly, participate in leadership excursions, blog, and engage in various networking experiences. Additionally, each scholar will be required to iden-tify an area of service or leader-ship on campus.

This leadership pool will in-crease yearly, as four new stu-dents will receive the PLS each year. And based on retention research, the chance of these scholars graduating from Tabor is strong.

“I am thrilled about the pro-gression of the Presidential Leadership Scholarship,” said Glanzer, who is especially pas-sionate about leadership devel-opment. “It has developed into something more than I first real-ized.”

“It definitely seems like it will make Tabor a more attrac-tive option for those students,” said junior Alyssa King, who went to Northwest High School in Wichita.

King knows what being at a school with bowling is like.

He adds that faculty mem-bers have commented that on-line classes let them re-evaluate learning objectives and chal-lenge them to create meaning-ful learning experiences in new ways, since the standard lecture format is not usually available.

Penner said that although online classes are an attractive option for many students, there are some disadvantages. Some students need the classroom en-vironment to succeed. They do

Students interested in taking an online class over the summer can register on Tabor’s Web site at www.tabor.edu/adult-gradu-ate/online-summer-courses. Be-fore registering, Tabor students will need to get approval from their academic adviser.

Although the Web site cur-rently shows last summer’s course, the site will be updated with the new courses within the next two weeks. Many of the classes offered are general edu-cation classes such English com-position 1 and 2, sociology, and psychology.

I saw that we had a bowling team at my school, I was a little sur-prised since it seems like such an obscure sport.”

Northwest has a student body of about 1,800 people.

“I think Tabor getting a bowl-ing team is an interesting idea,” King said. “I’m curious to see how many people would sign up. I can definitely see people hav-ing a lot of fun with it.”

About 20 major U.S. holi-days are celebrated each year including Christmas, Hallow-een, and even Martin Luther King Day. Besides those holi-days, there are thousands upon thousands of other holidays that we do not hear about near-ly as often.

National Sportsmanship Day kicked off the month on March 1. The holiday is in its 20th year of annual celebra-tions.

Dan Doyle presented the idea for this holiday in 1989, according to internation-alsport.com

Doyle did some research in the United States for six months and came to the con-clusion that there was not much notice be-ing taken about sportsmanship. He then created NSD in order to recognize athletes and teams across the nation for good sports-manship.

Sportsmanship calls athletes, coaches, and fans to act courteously to their oppo-nents. However, this can often be a diffi-cult task when a person feels wronged by another.

So, why bother trying if it can be such a hard thing to accomplish?

I believe Jesus calls us to do so. Even if he never used the word “sportsmanship” in the Bible, he definitely called us to respect one another.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ challenges the crowd around him to resist the temptation of revenge.

“If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also,” Matthew 5:38-42 (NIV).

Often in sports, a player violates the rules or does something to agitate anoth-er. Instead of striking back, Jesus calls all

Christians to turn our cheeks. This does not necessarily

mean to let others step all over you. Christ still wants us to have self-respect but to also love and forgive those who hurt us.

After Jesus teaches about turning away from the urge to punish others for wrongdoing, he moves on to speak about loving your enemies.

Christ preaches in the whole passage of Matthew 5:43-48 that

we must do more than just love our neigh-bors. He calls his followers to love their en-emies.

“But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven,” Mat-thew 5:44 (NIV).

So, how exactly should we go about lov-ing our enemies?

Love does not have to be mushy or any kind of over-the-top romance. One of the many definitions of love on dictionary.com includes “affectionate concern for the well-being of others.”

I think this is a part of the idea of sports-manship. Many of us tend to get so caught up in the competition and pride of our own team that we forget what God has called us as Chris-tians to do.

Sportsmanship is a stretch from loving your enemies, but I think

practicing good sportsmanship can be a great way to show our love for others on the field or court no matter what sport we play or for what reason.

So, whether you consider your enemies to be the opponents, the referees, or even your own teammates, try to remember God’s mis-sion for his believers.

Sportsmanship as a mission

Once upon a time, there was a three page children’s story that was made into a 102 minute fea-ture film and, oddly enough, this nearly impossible task just does not make the cut.

Based on the old story of the Little Red Riding Hood, “Red Riding Hood” is a story of lust, mystical characters and the im-possibility of choosing between two hot actors, which is the only attribute that got them the job. Sound familiar? Here’s a hint: The director of Twilight, Cath-erine Hardwicke, is also the di-rector of this movie.

Certain aspects of the movie are amazing. The cinematogra-phy is beautiful, with the myriad of shots of a dense forest, and the idea of a love story being the fo-cus of the young girl’s treck to her grandmother’s house is fas-cinating.

Unfortunately, other aspects of the movie fall short.

The acting is awful. Amanda Seyfried plays the role of Valerie (Red Riding Hood), who is about the only redeeming actor in the film.

Although the fairy tale genre is generally meant for children, this rendition is not kid-friendly. Sexual tension is seen through-out.

The movie begins showing a young town hidden away in a mystical forest. A foreshadowing then begins of the love interest between Valerie and the bad boy. As Valerie becomes older, fam-ily politics and money-seeking mothers cause her to be caught in the middle of a horrible decision: who to choose?

The movie does have a cer-tain edge that keeps the audi-ence on the edge of their seat. As the movie begins to reach the climax, and after several people have met their mystic deaths, a certain twist finally begins to make the movie engaging.

Fortunately, the resolution of the movie ends as a fairy tale ending that the Grimm Brothers would be proud of.

For a romantic at heart, this movie will be satisfactory. For the action junkie, the movie might not be as pleasing.

Editorial

With the likely exception of the bowl-ing article, this month’s front page is a testament to Tabor’s commit-

ment and standard for excellent, available, and well-rounded education.

It is reassuring to see that our college—in addition to thriving in arts, athletics, missions and other student-led organizations—is dedi-cated to providing first-rate learning.

Regular accreditation of the Education De-partment is just the beginning. In addition to attentiveness to the physical classroom, Tabor also is continually committed to improving opportunities for education with availability of a variety of online classes, as well specifi-cally targeting strong student leaders for the student body. -DV

a high school coach to attend a combine at Reliant Stadium, the home of the Houston Texans

A combine is an event where high school prospects can compete in several different events to display athletic ability and football knowledge.

Events include anything from a 40-yard dash, throwing drills or testing vertical jumps.

Coach Mike Gardner was at the combine and contacted both guys following the event.

A few other schools contacted them but they felt like Tabor presented the best oppor-tunity.

Price had been contacted by a few other schools but ended up choosing Tabor be-cause of the persistence of Coach Billy Hick-

man. W y n n

joined Price at Tabor off of his ex-perience on his visit. He o r i g i n a l l y planned to attend Clark-Atlanta Uni-versity in Atlanta, Ga, but lost his scholarship after the coach was fired.

F o l l o w -ing a fresh-man sea-son, a lot of athletes go through a phase of w o n d e r i n g what their future holds.

“For me, I’d stick around lon-ger but my major will probably end up causing me to trans-fer,” Men-doza said. “I’d like to stay but my goal is to go into nursing so it’ll prob-ably take me

elsewhere.” For his high school teammate, things

started off a bit rough but the future looks bright.

“I’ve grown to come to grips with Tabor,” Kellumen said. “At first I wasn’t sure if I could do this but the people here are cool and I’ve made so many friends.”

Wynn is currently taking the semester off and seeing what his future holds and isn’t ruling out a return to Tabor.

“I hope to get better at football and put a winning record together,” Price said. “I also want to grow closer in my faith and build on it.”

Why did you come to Tabor College? Answers tend to vary from family rea-

sons, faith, sports, scholarship money, or just to try something different.

For guys like Alton Price, Kevin Wynn, Brian Mendoza and Henry Kellumen, an-swers were mixed but for each of them it was football that ultimately brought them all to Tabor College.

It’s sometimes hard to come from a dras-tically different background to small town America but these guys had the benefit of having someone close to home along for the journey.

Brian Mendoza and Henry Kellumen were high school team-mates at Lamar High School in Houston, Texas. Al-ton Price and Kevin Wynn played togeth-er at Woodland High School in Stockbr idge , Ga.

C o m i n g from such drastic back-grounds can cause a little culture shock.

“Brian had already come for a visit and told me it was small,” Kel-lumen said. “I didn’t un-derstand how small it really was.”

Similar cir-c u m s t a n c e s occurred for Price and Wynn.

“I came on campus and it just looked dead,” Price said. “It looked like school and football were the only things I’d ever get to do.”

“AP (Alton Price) had told me how small it was,” Wynn said. “I came on campus and just kept asking myself what did I get myself into.”

When comparing large cities to small towns there are obvious differences but some stick out more than others.

“I was with (admissions counselor) Jeff Harms,” Mendoza said. “He showed me downtown and it looked like a big strip mall.”

For Mendoza and Kellumen, they both wanted to play football but National Signing Day had passed and they were left wondering about the possibilities.

Java Jays has officially reopened. It is under the new management of Emily Friesen. With new

management comes new hours as well as new staff and new items. The hours of operation for this semester are Sunday, Mon-

day, Tuesday and Thursday nights from 8:30 through 11:30. On Wednesday, they open later at 10:00 and stay open until 11:30.

Java Jays is also open during two mornings. Those mornings are Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 to 9:30.

For this semester there is a staff of seven baristas. Also working for Java Jays is Tadz Jarosz, who is the business manager, and Ted McFarland, who is the graphic design specialist.

Each staff member has been trained and knows how to make each drink taste great every time. The staff has also been trained to have great service.

Friesen loves to work with her “amazing” staff. She likes that they are so helpful and that they are always up

to trying new things. The staff also will do whatever needs to be done.

“Plus they all make amazing drinks!” said Friesen. One of the favorite drinks is the fruit smoothie. Smoothies are

just one item on the new menu at Java Jays, and there are several different flavors.

“London Fogs are very popular, Ear Grey tea with vanilla and steamed milk,” said Friesen when talking about popular drinks.

The menu provides both cold and warm beverages for the cos-tumer.

“Ice cream is back” said Friesen. She suggests ordering Recess Explosion, Mocha Winter or Da-

vid Crowder. Java Jays has gotten new equipment and they are planning on

getting more.They have already received two new blenders, and they are go-

ing to order a new espresso machine and bean grinder.Students can use their JayCard to pay for their drinks. Each

student has a $25 declining balance on their card, and the workers at Java Jays are helpful in letting students know how much money they have on their card after the order is made.

The drinks range in price from $1.25 to $3.00.Just like in the cafeteria, students are encouraged to leave Java

Jays a comment. Leave a comment, and help them improve Java Jays.

Friesen would like for students to “get on into Java Jays and en-joy a wonderful drink made by a great staff with amazing service.”

Tabor’s prolific professors write books, essaysYou see them at the front of class-

rooms, sitting in chapel and sometimes randomly in the cafeteria. However, you might not know that you can also see your professors on the shelves of book-stores.

Many of the faculty members here at Tabor College have had their works pub-lished whether as books, articles or even poetry.

Richard Kyle, a professor in the His-tory Department, has had nine books published and has a tenth one in the works. He has also had 89 articles pub-lished in different forms of reference books as well as church magazines. His main theme is religious history.

“My favorite work was probably ‘The Last Days are Here Again: A History of the End Times’,” said Kyle. This book teaches about the failed prophecies by the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Other publications by Kyle include “The Christian Commonwealth: John Knox’s Vision for Scotland,” “The Re-ligious Fringe: A History of Alternative Religions in America,” “Evangelicalism: an Americanized Christianity,” and oth-ers.

Kyle also co-authored the book (with Dale Johnson) “John Knox: An Introduc-tion to His Life and Works.” This was Kyle’s ninth published book. His tenth book will be “Apocalyptic Fever,” which is almost completed.

Another professor of history, Wil-liam Kostlevy, has also published works about history.

“I’m a historian,” said Kostlevy. “Writing books keeps me interested in questions I’m asking. It’s helping my teaching.”

Kostlevy has had five books pub-lished, several chapters and some col-lected essays.

His books, “Holy Jumpers: Evan-gelicals and Radicals in Progressive Era America” and “Historical Dictionary of the Holiness Movement” are his most re-cent publications.

Though a Communications professor, Aleen Ratzlaff has also had her share of publications in the history genre.

Ratzlaff received her doctorate at the University of Florida in 2001. Her pub-lications first started with her writing for her dissertation.

“My focus was on media history with a focus on the 19th century,” said Rat-zlaff. “It was the core of my disserta-tion.”

Flying through the airwaves of county radio station 100.5 and 97.1 recently has been the familiar voice of Drake Mallard.

Perhaps the name isn’t familiar. But the voice should be. On campus, it is more commonly heard in the class-room or on the musical stage—the voice of Carson Stutzman.

The senior from Beaver Crossing, Neb., has been working for 100.5 The Wolf and its sister station, 97.1 Bob FM for over a year. What began as a communica-tions internship has turned into an enjoyable hobby and an opportunity to make valuable connections.

“I didn’t think I wanted to stay in it, but I do now,” Stuzman said. “I enjoy getting to go to concerts, meet people and doing things I wouldn’t get to do otherwise.”

These opportunities have included promotions, which require him to travel and call in to various businesses in the area, concerts, and DJing, which generally includes prerecorded messages about giveaways, song transitions and the weather. While attending concerts, Stuzman has either met or seen several bands such as Cross Canadian Ragweed, Bon Jovi, and Jake Owen.

Depending on where he goes, he has two name tags, one for his given name and one for his alias from the station. Using a false name is common at the station. For Stutzman, it separates his work life from his personal life, and also allows him the creative freedom to portray the character of someone else.

Jordan Giffinreporter

As a member of several academic conferences, Ratzlaff has submitted sev-eral journals which are peer reviewed and then decided upon by a committee for publication.

Ratzlaff has three chapters published in the book “Seeking a Voice: Images of Race and Gender in the 19th Century.”

“The book is about journalism during the Civil War and post-Civil War; Post reconstruction,” said Ratzlaff.

Ratzlaff has also had several book reviews published in academic jour-nals such as “Journalism History” and “American Journalism.”

There are other professors who have had their works published, whether as a book, in a book or for journals.

Professor Shin-hee Chin published a book of her artwork entitled “The Hu-man Family.”

Dr. Deborah Penner was the editor of a recently published devotional book, “A Tradition of Transformation: Tabor Col-lege Devotional Book.” This book was published in October 2009.

Dr. Doug Miller has published a com-mentary on Ecclesiastes in the “Believ-ers Church Bible Commentary” series.

Dr. Max Terman, professor emeritus, also has a few publications as well as Professor Wendell Loewen.

Hadduck authors poetry for journals

Kevin Had-duck, from the Student Success Office, is another faculty mem-ber whose writ-ten works were found worthy of being published in several differ-ent journals.

However, his publications are unique to the other faculty members because his publications were of poetry.

“I have published about 90 poems in about two dozen journals,” said Had-duck.

Some of these journals include Lull-water Review, Wisconsin Review, South Dakota Review, Plainsongs, The Chris-tian Century, Christianity and Literature, and others.

Hadduck says he finds much of his inspiration in “the natural imagery of Kansas.” His poems deal with “a vari-ety of themes—theology, friendship, and loss especially.”

Radio DJ’s voice a familiar one tostudents at Tabor

“I don’t have anything to go by but my imagination,” he said. “For those who I know who I am, I get a little bit of grief. But for those who don’t know, it’s a lot of fun because I can play with it a little bit, and make people think I’m someone I’m not. I create someone who the audience will put a face to.”

That face has the first and last name of a duck. The idea for Drake Mallard stemmed from his love of hunting and fish-ing. A drake is a male mallard and is a somewhat common first name.

“I thought it was the coolest thing to have an alias,” he said.

Just as his name is altered, his voice sounds different broadcast than what he hears himself saying.

“It’s weird to hear your true voice,” he said. “You

think, ‘that’s how I really sound?’”His voice isn’t the only unfamiliar sound coming from

his radio speakers. “(Before beginning my internship), I hated coun-

try music,” he said. “But after being there, it grew on me. Now I listen to it more often than not.”

After graduating in May, Stutzman doesn’t plan on working broadcast full time, but would prefer to do it part time to make extra money. He would recommend his ex-perience to anyone looking for a future in broadcasting.

“I started filing papers, and a year later emceeing and doing concerts,” he said. “Make that

connection and work at it.”Stutzman, or Drake, rather, can be heard Saturdays on

100.5 or live at witchitawolf.com.

The Tabor College baseball team continued its early season tear as it knocked off nationally ranked William Jewell on March 3, with a 7-3 victory in the first game and 11-0 in the second.

The Bluejays got the opportu-nity to play yet another nationally ranked opponent, York College, in a two-day doubleheader at the home field of the Wichita State University Shockers.

On March 4, senior Brent McKinnon picked up the com-plete game victory in game one while giving up three unearned runs and striking out two.

Offensively, junior Adam Mc-Cormick paced the Bluejays go-ing two for three from the plate while knocking in four runs.

Men tear through early season play

The softball season is already a month in. After a rough start to the season, the Lady Bluejays have started to come around. Sit-ting at a record of 5-9 they are starting to piece it together.

“We aren’t the same team we were in the fall,” freshman Kyleen Condon said, “Everyone has improved. We are a young team, but that will only make us better.”

The team was able to beat the York Panthers in a two-game set on March 7. The Lady Jays have also won against Briar Cliff Uni-versity and Central Christian Col-lege. Both of these wins came in the Friends University tourna-ment on March 4 and 5.

The Lady Bluejays competed in the McPherson College Tour-nament on March 11 and 12. The weekend consisted of five games, three on Saturday and two on Sun-day. The Lady Bluejays saw some good competition while playing

In game two, junior Jon Mur-ray was charged with five un-earned runs that led to a 5-2 loss.

York pitching stymied the Bluejay bats, giving up only two hits.

Tabor was on fire in the sec-ond day, pulling out two victories with the scores of 8-2 and 5-0.

The Bluejays were supported by solid pitching performances from sophomore Brian Kowal in game one and senior Tyler Fen-ton following in game two with a complete game shutout.

Sophomore Koby Temple went four for five on the day with four runs driven in.

The University of Sioux Falls came calling on March 11, and the Bluejays came away with two one-run victories.

Tabor struck early in the first game with a seven-run, bottom of

the first and never trailed the rest of the game.

In game two it took two extra innings, but Koby Temple struck once again with a walk-off home run to give the Bluejays a sweep for the day.

On March 12, Tabor was swept for the first time of the season at the hands of Iowa Wesleyan.

Game one lasted 13 innings with Iowa Wesleyan tallying two in the 13th on the way to a 4-2 victory.

In game two, Iowa Wesleyan won again 7-6.

Tabor travels to Manhattan to take on Manhattan Christian in a doubleheader on Tuesday, March 15, with first pitch at 1:00 p.m.

nationally ranked MidAmerica Nazarene University, who is cur-rently ranked 22nd, and Morning-side College, who received votes to be in the top 25.

Friday, March 11, was a tough day for the Lady BlueJays. They played three games and were un-able to come away with a victory. The team played against Grace-land University in game one, Rogers State University in game two and they wrapped up the day against MidAmerica Nazarene.

In game one on Saturday, March. 12, the team continued their dominance of Central Chris-tian College by defeating them for the second time in as many tries in this young season. In game number two the Lady Blue-jays played a tough game against Morningside, which ended un-successfully for the Jays.

The Lady Bluejays travelled to play two games against Hillsdale Free Baptist College on Mar. 15, and will compete in the Sterling College Tournament on March 18 and 19.

The men’s and women’s track teams had a strong meet in McPherson Saturday, with 12 top three individual or relay teams finishes.

Among them placing first was Tessa Siebert in the women’s 800, Erin Flam-ing in the women’s 3K steeplechase, Em-ily Post in high jump, Jasmine Peggese in Hammer and Yvonne Brubacher in pole vault, who set a new school record at 10 feet.

“Overall, I was very pleased with the outcome of the meet for both the men and women’s teams,” said head coach Dave Kroeker. “It’s a starting point from which

we will build and improve over the rest of the season.

Participating schools included McPher-son College, Ottawa University, Dodge City Community College, Cloud County Community College, Hutchinson Commu-nity College, Bethel College and Bethany College.

The meet was the first outdoor meet, which is typically the focus of the team’s efforts. Although indoor meets give the athletes a chance to get out of the practice routine and compete, they work to peak their performance for the outdoor season, specifically the KCAC meet in May.

In early March, Jesmine Peggese com-peted in the NAIA Indoor National Meet in

Ohio in the 20 pound weight throw.“Competing at nationals was exciting

and scary for me,” Peggese. “I have never competed at such a high championship be-fore so I was really nervous.”

Since beginning practice in January, the biggest obstacles the teams have faced are sickness and injury. And although Kroeker notes the significant improvements on the men’s team from last year, the women’s team is notable smaller this season.

In the midst of these challenges, the team still makes a point to pray before ev-ery practice.

Senior Tessa Siebert said she enjoys this inclusion of prayer.

“It is a great way to get everyone to-

gether before we begin and a reminder to give all the glory to God even in practice,” she said.

Kroeker thinks this spiritual component is what sets the team apart from all the oth-ers. It goes along with 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, which is printed on the back of their shirts: “Run (jump, or throw) in such a way as to get . . . a crown that lasts forever.”

According or Peggese, the team also has a special knack for hard work and a perse-vering attitude.

“I’m more than happy to be able to say I’m part of their team,” she said.

The next meet will be the Southwestern Invitational at Winfield, Kan., on March 17.

The Bluejays won that game with a nail-biter ending of 26.24. The men’s team eventually tied for third in the KCAC.This was Dechant’s last season for Tabor. The men’s team will return the rest of its players next season. “He won’t be able to be replaced right away, but we are trying to fill his spot and hopefully our experience can fill in what he brought to the table,” coach Micah Ratzlaff said.

Tabor tennis players made for good competition at the Bethel Invitational March 11-12.

The event was held at Hesston College for men’s teams and at Bethel College and Newton High School for women’s.

There were five different brackets in the tournament, A through E.

This meet held a focus on indi-vidual players rather than school teams as a whole.

Players who made it to the semi-finals on Friday in their own bracket include sophomores Jer-emy Reiswig, Jake Brucks and Sam Brucks and freshmen Kelyn Vix and Tyler Dort for men’s and seniors Amanda Gayer and Ka-tie Chlumsky and junior Brynne Mitchell for women’s.

Vix, Sam Brucks and Chlum-sky won their championship brackets.

Reiswig, Jake Brucks and Gayer made it to the finals in their brackets but lost.

Dort and Reiswig won the championship C bracket for dou-bles.

Valle and Sam Brucks made it to the championship D bracket fi-nals but lost.

“I’m excited about the re-sults,” Michael Hagan, head ten-nis coach, said. “I think it shows the potential we have in confer-ence.”

Hagan shows confidence in the outcome of this season as a

whole.“So far, we’re doing really

well,” he said. Since the team consists of

more players this season com-pared to last, students have been challenged to push themselves to improve in order to achieve and maintain their spots.

“As a team, I feel like we’re having good team bonding and challenging each other,” Gayer said.

Despite the competitive vibe on both teams, Hagan said he agrees that the team, as a whole, is working together nicely.

“Our team chemistry is unbe-lievable,” he said.

He claimed this year’s team has some of the strongest bonds within it than any other team he has coached in past years.

“The overall effort this week-end was great,” Hagan said about tennis players at the Bethel Invi-tational.

Bethel’s women’s tennis team is favored to win conference for this season.

But three Tabor girls defeated Bethel in matches last weekend.

According to Hagan, these victories were positive results over Tabor’s opposing team.

“I truly feel both teams have a chance to place in the top three in conference this year,” Hagan said.

Tabor students will get a chance to cheer on tennis champs at their first home match Thurs-day March 17 against Hesston College.

Members of the tennis team (top: senior Amanda Gayer; bottom: freshman Kelyn Vix; right: sophomore David Sim-met) compete at the Bethel Invitation March 11 and 12.

The Tabor College men’s and women’s basketball seasons have come to a close.

Men“This was probably our most success-

ful year,” said men’s coach Micah Ratzlaff. “It’s a step forward to be picked seventh in conference and finishing second.”

The Bluejays ended their season with 18 wins and 11 losses, and 11 wins 7 losses in conference play. The men held first for a stretch in time but ended in a three-way tie for second. The Sterling Warriors went on to be no. 1 in the conference and beat Tabor in the semifinals.

“It’s hard to believe,” Ratzlaff said.Tabor shared the number two slot with

McPherson and Bethany.A lot can be said about plain, old bad

timing. Over the course of the season, four players had a person in their family pass away.

“During a two-week span three grand-parents passed away,” Ratzlaff said. “One player was gone for a week, one for two day and another didn’t go home.”

The future of the team, however, looks bright. The team will lose only one player to graduation: Damoun Dechant, first team

all-conference, all-defensive team.“He won’t be able to be replaced right

away, but we are trying to fill his spot and hopefully our experience can fill in what he brought to the table,” Ratzlaff said. “We have good work ethic.

WomenThe Lady Jays finished the season with

11 wins and 18 losses.In conference, they won eight games

and lost 10.“The season was rough at times because

we suffered from what seemed like a nev-er-ending series of injuries and setbacks,” said junior Sarah Wyckoff.

The Lady Jays lost to Kansas Wesleyan in the conference quarterfinals.

“We learned how to be resilient,” said Wyckoff. “That was a really important part about this season.”

With one year left on the team, Wyckoff is excited for what the future will bring.

“The future of the Tabor College wom-en’s basketball program is one that is full of potential and a desire for excellence,” she said. “To look ahead is an exciting en-deavor.

“At the end we had something inside of ourselves that was more significant than a trophy.”

Tabor College women’s basketball head coach, Shawn Winter, submitted his resignation recently to vice president of athletics, Rusty Allen.

Winter had served the past four years as head coach of the women’s basketball team and had compiled a 39-79 record. He also served Tabor College as an assistant coach of the women’s basketball team for four years, two years as an assistant base-ball coach and two years as an admissions counselor.

“Coach Winter’s attention to detail, work ethic and Chris-tian character surfaced in every life circumstance I observed him in,” Allen said. “He genuinely cared for the people around him whether peers, players or family. We appreciate his work at Tabor and wish him, and his wife Karly, God’s best in the future.”

You can get into the action by learning to shoot a bow and ar-row or be taught the techniques of knife throwing.

Many different artisans and vendors are there to add the medi-eval experience.

Food vendors are there as well; I suggest the dragon scales in the peasant sauce.

Be ready to don your tunic and cornet because costumes make the experience that much more enjoy-able.

In college, spring is met with both excitement and trepidation.

While underclassmen are look-ing forward to summer break and a three-month break from home-work, seniors are faced with the terrifying question, “What now?”

For many seniors, life after graduation is full of questions. Where do I want to work? How do I get a job? Where will I live? How will I pay off my student loans?

Kevin Hadduck, director of student success and career servic-es at Tabor, has some suggestions.

“Tip number one is, if they are concerned about how to write a good resume or cover letter, to come see me,” he said.

Hadduck said he has already been helping many students with their resumes. He encourages stu-dents to bring a rough draft and he’ll go over it with them.

Hadduck said he can also give students tips on how to interview effectively.

The student success office, lo-cated in the library, also serves as the career services office.

One of the opportunities com-ing out of career services for stu-dents is a career planning seminar to be held the last quarter of this semester. The seminar will meet once a week for seven weeks and can be taken for one hour of credit.

At the heart of the seminar is

Heather DeckertFeatures editor

an informational interview as-signment. Hadduck explained that this assignment gives students a change to explore a career field in depth. It includes researching the career as well as an interview with a professional in the field.

“It’s an interview about a ca-reer, not for a job,” he explained.

Hadduck added that the Ca-reer Services Web site has a lot of good information for interested seniors. The site has many links for other Web sites that will help students get a better understand-ing of what different careers in-volve, what kind of positions are available, what kind of a pay scale students can expect, as well as geographic information on where jobs are available.

There are also links to services such as CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com, which provide in-formation on job openings. Local job openings can also be found on Tabor’s College Career Network, found at http://blogs.tabor.edu/jobsblog.

“I think the best thing for se-niors to do well before graduation is to get on the internet and search for anything that might help them understand the career field,” Had-duck said.

Other tips Hadduck has for seniors includes talking to people they know, including professors.

“Talk to professors who are teaching in that field and can give them good direction,” he said. “If you’re a business student, for heaven’s sake, talk to a business professor.”

1. Try to get personal interviews. Don’t depend on only applying online. (http://andychan.blogs.wfu. edu)

2. Don’t take a job you’ll hate, but be willing to take a job that’s not your dream job. (http://andychan. blogs.wfu.edu)

ous testing and passed. This recognition helps the students get jobs.

“Most states recognize that when you have NCATE accreditation, you met those rigorous standards,” said Dr. Donna Bagley, who serves as professor and chair of the edu-cation department, as well as the director of graduate teacher education.

Over March 6-9, a team of eight people, five from NCATE, and three from the state, visited Tabor to evaluate the school’s program. While they were here, they talked to faculty, administration, stu-dents, student teachers and public school faculty.

“They talk to practically anyone associated with student education,” Bagley said.

After the evaluation visit, it can take up to a year, before the final word is given.

In order to prepare for the evaluation, Bagley had to

write a report and submit it to the organization. The report was reviewed and then sent back to her with the commit-tee’s interpretation, to which Bagley had to respond.

“We’re trying to present our material in an organized man-ner,” she said.

Bagley said getting every-thing ready was a good op-portunity for her to see how everyone else works.

“I think we’re doing a fan-tastic job,” she said. “We have an excellent faculty.”

Although Bagley has a great team of education pro-fessors, she can’t help feeling nervous when accreditation time rolls around.

“I always get butterflies in my stomach when it comes around,” she said.

Now that the evaluat-ing team has come and gone, though, Bagley can once again relax. Before they left, the team gave her their prelimi-nary report.

“It went great,” she said. “They said we met all the stan-dards.”
