The Panther volleyball team
propelled itseff back into the thick of
the 1988 Gateway Conference race
with a 5-15, 1541, 15-7, 15-5 victory
over preseason league favorite
Southwest Missouri last Friday, Oct.
28th. Southwest was the No. 10-
ranked team in the region and had
won ten straight matches before the
10ss at UNI. The Panthers defeated
Wichita State the following day, Oct.
29th, in a special Parent's Day mat-
chup, 15-9, 16-H, 15-10, to raise their
conference recbrd to 4-1. In a non-

of Missouri-Kansas City, 15-2, 15-3,
,15-7, to raise its overall record to 18-
9.
A good time was had by all at the St. Mary's Auction.
Board president Vida Wollrab
questioned Stole on how such a
leave would effect the changes
made to his English and science
classes. Stole responded that he
would continue to teach all his
English sections in the ma~
and that his schedule would be
altered so that his replacment
would teach all sections of science
in the afternoon.
In approving the leave, the
board was assured by Shay that
the replacement would be the
same person for the entire leave to
maintain continuity in the science
program, Shay also reminded the
board that the leave would be
without pay.
Shay recommended bids on a
new bus to the board but the item
was tabled until more information
could be gathered. Shay's recom-
mendation included an $18,200
chassis bid on a 5-speed Riverside
International and a $12,769 body
bid on a Bluebird from Schol Bus
Sales.
Bus driver Diane Musser asked
Shay why he was recommending a
5-speed rather than an automatic.
"I thought you were against a
5-speed," she stated.
Shay responded, "Cost." He
did go on to say that on the body
bid he went with a bid other than
the lowest due to quality. A
decision on a new bus will be made
at the Nov. 29 meeting.
A decision on soRball diamond
work was also tabled. Coach Tim
Dickey asked the Board, "Are you
planning on moving the diamond
or not?" Referring to his efforts to
upgrade the current field amidst
discussions of the construction of a
new diamond, Dickey asked the
hoard for clarification on its future
plans regarding the field.
After considerable discussion,
Shay suggested that Dickey, Pow-
ers, and baseball coach Jerry Ford
take part in developing an overall
plan for soRball and baseball
fields. The board will take up the
issue at its Febrauty meeting.
The possibility of a TV hook-up
program with Kirkwood Com-
munity College was discussed. At
an estimated cost of $I0-II,000,
the hook-up would possibly be able
to provide coursework for students
in Spanish, psychology, calculus,
and Russian. Teacher in-service
projects and evening adult educa-
tion courses could also be carried,
Shay told the board a receiving
tower would be the biggest prob-
lem and indicated that working
with the local cable company was a
possibility in bringing the hook-up
to Lone Tree.
The board approved additional
