It was literally a storehouse of memories. Today the attic has gone the way of the horse and shay and the Stanley Steame-r, the bustle and hoop skirt. Not unlike the bygones of yesterdayour days, today, too will make up the past. We appreciate the work of the Kekiongan staff to provide us some memories fo�r tomorrow. And if people continue to be the changing kind that we have been in years past, we shall have our share of laughs and pleasant recollections when we flip through the Kekiongan pages in some tomorrow. Indiana Tech has be�e n fortunate that perso�ns making history today-the likes of Christopher Kraft, Wernher von Braun and others-were participants on our campus. The 1967 Kekiongan will be a rich storehouse of memo,ries regardless where we find it-in an attic, a trunk in the basement, o�n the shelf of our den or library, or at Tech when we return for a Silver Anniversary in 1992. � � Mr. C.

The development of the ability to Think is paramount. The proje<t method of instruction is used in the laboratory which is equipped with standard pilot plant apparatus such as stills, evaporators, filter presses, and mass and energy transfer units. The curriculum covers basic sciences, engineering sciences, applied science and general subjects, which gives a broad foundation enabling the student to be employed in design, operatio~ns, sales, teaching, and research.

It has always been concerned with proiects of both public and private nature that effect the social and economic life of the people. Originally, Civil Engineering was concerned with the construction of bridges, and rood building which are still major areas in the civil engineering field. In the last half-century, additional areas have been added to the field of civil engineering, such as wa.t er supply, waste disposal, city planning, and traffic engineering. There are of importance for the public health and welfare. � � ftl 0 ~ o Oo ~ " : ~ ~ ~ l-R: Charles Kitchen; Peter Sorenson; Earl Devlin; Dr. Eugene Klingler, Chairman; John Whitney; Richard Dermer; Abdou Abou -Antoune; Gordon Johnson. ectrica � neer1ng An advanced electrical engineering laboratory. � Electrical Engineering encompasses many and varied fields.

This year with one exception the team was composed of people who were strictly track enthusiasts. The season was a rewarding one with Tech Mike Fitch winning the Grace Invitational and doing well in their conference meets. Next year a strong nucleus will be back and hope can be seen for the future. � I eDTllS � Under the leadership of the new coach, Bob Gerhart, the tennis team of Tech for 1966 made a ftne showing. With Dave Crosse leading the way early in the season, the team got off to a roaring start. As the season progressed other members pooled their efforts and the team finish ed with a good record. The future looks bright with returning lettermen to add experience to the squad. Freshmen are the difference between a losing season and a winning one so a good turnout in the fall is essential.

Sixteen wins and six losses was the record and the majority of the losses were to schools of higher conference affiliation and larger attendance. Tech won the City College Tourney and made a fine showing in the West Carolina Holiday Tournament. In the N.A.I.A. District playoffs one point kept the Warriors from going on to the higher playoffs. With only three members of this years varsity graduating there will be a strong nucleus for next years team.

Shelter's 4,000th Adopted Cat Gets the Royal Treatment
On Tuesday, a black-and-white kitten was amazed to find herself the center of attention as the Friends of Felines animal shelter in Salem, Ore., celebrated its 4,000th cat adoption.
Princess, a frisky black-and-white kitten, had a rough start in life. A shelter volunteer found her alone, the last of a group of littermates being given away by a person outside a local supermarket.
The volunteer brought her to the shelter, and Shelter Director of Operations Jeanie Sloan fostered the tiny bundle of fluff for two months.
"She was too small to adopt out at the time, so I kept her until she was old enough to get all her vaccines and be spayed," Sloan said. "I find that my house is now a lot quieter at night. I guess I always knew she was a special kitten."
Once Princess was ready for adoption, Sloan brought her back to the shelter, where she lived a fairly ordinary life until the Hernandez family arrived last Friday and started looking at cats.
The staff and volunteers could barely contain their excitement because they knew an auspicious moment was near.
Once the family settled on Princess, the staff rang bells, applauded and began their celebration.
The four-month old kitten wasn't the only one shocked by all the noise and commotion. Jesus and Heather Hernandez and their 5-year-old daughter Linda weren't sure what the big deal was, either. But once the shelter staff told them that Princess was the shelter's 4,000th adoption, they adjusted quickly -- especially when they heard about the prizes they'd won, including a $20 gift card to South Salem Pet Supply.
"We didn't have any idea of what was going on," Heather Hernandez said. "But we knew she was right for our family, and so it was meant to be."
The Hernandezes also learned that the Willamette Valley Animal Hospital was sponsoring adoptions last week, and instead of paying $75 or more, they paid $25 to adopt Princess with the animal hospital picking up the other $50 of the fee.
On Tuesday, Princess and her entourage returned to the shelter for the cat's well-deserved publicity.
The royally named feline's humble origins showed in her discomfort with all the attention. Despite having been showered with a carpeted cat perch, a deluxe cat carrier, a litter box and litter, and lots of food, toys and treats, her eyes and head darted side to side constantly, and she settled down only when she was in Linda's arms.
"[Princess is] full of energy and loves to play with Linda and [her three brothers]," Heather Hernandez said. "When Linda isn't chasing Princess, the cat's chasing her. And when Linda lays down, the cat will come and lay down, too. She has really made herself at home with us."
As Princess and the Hernandez family prepared to leave, Sloan mentioned that the shelter hoped to find forever homes for another 1,000 cats in 2011 so that they could shower another cat's family with attention next year.
"We hope to be celebrating 5,000 adoptions around the same time next year," Sloan said.
Jesus Hernandez, who said Princess is the family's only pet, said, "Let us know when you get close, and we'll pick her up a sister."

How can I get my husband to help with the baby?
My husband wasn't much help during my pregnancy. He said he felt out of the loop since I was the one carrying our child, but he promised that after the baby was born he wouldn't make me do everything on my own. Well, our baby is nearly a month old and my husband isn't helping me at all. I don't think I even want to be with him anymore because I've done everything but get pregnant on my own. What should I do?

You ladies knew what these men were like when you had sex with them. You thought a baby would make him change and it didn't. Nice job picking a jerk to be the father of your children. He'll turn your daughters into house maids and your sons into lazy, sexist slobs.posted 07/15/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Wow, my husband loves helping out. He's even taking off a week (he decided to move it up to two now) from work to be with me. When my daughter was born, I wasn't sure what kind of dad he'd be, I knew he'd be a good dad but I never guessed he'd be the type to want to do so much. He never complained about changing diapers and would even march her into the men's room to change her. He didn't care, he was proud to be a dad! The only problem is that I felt terrible, like I was being lazy or something. he'd get up at night and walk her to sleep, or he'd get up with her in the morning so I could sleep in. At first I loved it, then I felt like I wasn't doing my part. Now with our second due any day now, he's so excited to be a first time dad all over again. He wants to do so much with our daughter (to make her feel special since she's getting a brother) and he wants to do so much with our son.posted 09/19/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I want my bf/babydaddy out of my apartment. He has done nothing for me but lie, cheat and stress me out these last 7 months of pregnancy. I lost my job due to the fact that I was pregnant and never got any kind of support from him. Now I'm on unemployment, still supporting myself and doing everything for myself. He does nothing to help me out. He comes home with beer every evening and sits in front of the computer till 2-3am. I really want him out of my life. Just worthless!posted 08/07/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
wow! this topic started in 2001 and still strong and going until 2008. there is a guy who said 'We don't tend to offer to help directly with the baby and the housework, in the same way that you don't offer to rebuild the car's transmission. ' i just want to ask one question. how often do you work on the rebuild of car's transmission. and how often do you cook, do dishes, laundry and other housework. ' ha ha ha probably once in 6 months and the other DAILY!!! ya men do the work 8 to 5.. ok ok i heard it ...even 7 to 10.. but still ur job ends there.. and there is a lot of dignity in there. even though moms stay home ...are available 24/7 for the baby.. and work also intermittently ( go pick the baby whenever he/she fusses) is still 'a no help situation'... common guys... when so many people say it .. i think you guys should all be punished...posted 05/12/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
good luck it seems that most men are selfish and dont really care what we feel or go through. i too have a 1 month old and my husband too didnt help me during my pregnancy at all and now he only looks after the baby or changes his diaper cuz i ask him to but otherwise he wont. he gets home hes to tired he wants to sleep and eat. while i work too i have to cook clean feed and take care of my son. on his free time he leaves or spends his time online or watching the sports channel. ive talked to him tons of times about it and he just says ill help he does for a week then goes back to his routine. unfortunately men wont learn until u leave them but they know that now with a child its not so easy jus like saying it. jus hang in there and pray so he could change or your going to have to do the change urself.posted 05/15/2010 by geminiillusion83
What if your husband doesn't work (never has), doesn't help much with the children (a little: diapers and getting them dressed for school), doesn't grocery shop, prepare dinners, or do housework (aside from occasionally empty the dishwasher and pick up toys)? What if he doesn't do the things to maintain the house like mowing or fixing things? I should dump him, right? He says it's too hard for a man to take care of two children (I have the kids in daycare full time). They are 3 and 5 years old. He says girls are more difficult for men to take care of then boys. I'm getting skrewed aren't I? Or should I just "hang in there?"posted 05/26/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
EVERYBODY STOP!!!!! Here is a great idea for all of you, just stop doing everything! Take care of your children for sure, but let your husband live in filth for a while and I am willing to bet he starts complaining about how the house looks. At that point, let him know that you are a team and you cant take on the entire load by yourself. Set aside time on the weekend to get the house back in order, then start in with the little ones. First step would be to make a bottle and hand your hubby the baby, the bottle and a burp rag! It is amazing what a man will do if you just ask. They have no idea what we want unless we tell them, and what better way than to just put it right in their laps! Most importantly, make sure they know how much you appreciate the help, men love to feel needed. Good luck to you all and take charge...dont leave your husbands, they just need a little nudge in the right directionposted 01/08/2008 by Benets mom
I'm talking about men like me who step up to the plate and provide for the family, and embrace fatherhood. If we're gonna be fathers, then you all have to step up to the plate and BE MOTHERS. Ask yourself exactly what does it mean to be a mother? Did you really want to do it - raise a family that is? Being a parent is hard work!! But fathers and mothers do have different roles imho, look in the history of our species civilization and also in the animal kingdom and you see that its only been the past 20-30 years or so that men have even been expected to do the types of things you all are talking about. And that goes both ways, our sons grandfather was not allowed by his wife to handle the baby, and now he is loving being able to cultivate a relationship with our son. These are different times no doubt, but please think a bit about what it really means to you to fullfill your parental obligations.posted 10/29/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

GREENVILLE, SC (CBS) - Groundbreaking legislation in Illinois is making it possible for adoptees over the age of 21 to get a copy of their original birth certificate. Supporters of the law say it's as a big step toward reuniting some families. But critics describe it as troublesome.
Fifty years ago Cletus Lynch found a photo in a drawer in his mother's dresser. He was 11 living with his mother in a one bedroom apartment in Illinois at the time. He was stunned when she told him the girl in the picture was his sister.
Lynch searched for his sister all his adult life; Barbara Mapes knew she was adopted and always felt, for no particular reason, that she had a brother. She says, "I think I have an older brother out there. Someday I'm going to be walking down a street or in an airport and I'd see a guy who looks just like me well."
Mapes was raised by adoptive parents 35 miles away from her brother and birth mom in Illinois but because of privacy laws those 35 miles might as well have been 3,500. Mapes says, "I always felt like the corner foundation piece of that puzzle has always been missing."
Traditionally, in cases of adoption, birth certificates are sealed. After the adoption, a new certificate is issued with the adoptive parents' name on it. Cletus says, "Everywhere you went you got a brick wall, privacy rules HIPA rules I had contacted the hospital and they couldn't give us any information."
In 2010 the Illinois state legislature changed the law making it possible for adoptees over the age of 21 to get a copy of their original birth certificate. When Barbara Mapes got her 61-year-old birth certificate she was stunned to see she had a sibling. She says, "It was that sibling that I was interested in cause I just felt like I had a big brother I don't know I never thought I about a sister or anything I just thought I had a big brother out there all these years."
Illinois state representative Sara Feigenholtz wrote the bill. She says, "I passed this law because I felt the pain and was approached by many other adoptees who had no idea how to get any information. A lot of adoptive parents who had children who were adopted wanted to get medical information about the children they adopted people who wanted to reconnect to get life saving medical information were unable to do anything and why?"
Critics of the Illinois law and similar bills around the country say that sealed records protect the biological parents -- and that this change constitutes an invasion of their privacy.
Adam Pertman is the executive director of the adoption institute. He says, "What people are concerned about i think is the knock on the door. That someone who doesn't want intrusion on their lives is suddenly going to have to have a relationship with a child they relinquish."
Mapes says it's a question of her right to know the truth. She says, "I guess I'm speaking on behalf of all the adoptees out there that don't know anything and it's an unknown factor of our lives I certainly feel like I need to know."

NEW DELHI: The former U.S. President, Jimmy Carter, who has consistently opposed the invasion of Iraq, said on Friday that American troops should be pulled out of the West Asian nation in one year. However, he pointed out that the Bush administration had so far presented no timetable for any withdrawal.
Mr. Carter, who last visited India as President in January 1978, also expressed opposition to the Indo-U.S. civilian nuclear understanding, suggesting that New Delhi should accede to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Taking questions at a press interaction, Mr. Carter, who is a nuclear engineer by training, said he had read with great interest a recent statement made by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the civilian nuclear deal.
Given that the Prime Minister had stated there should be no deviation from the July 2005 joint statement and the possibility that the U.S. Congress would draft its own law on the issue, Mr. Carter said if that took place then he didn't know what might happen to the deal.
Mr. Carter, however, emphasised that he was speaking as a private citizen. "I'm not here to get India to change its position [on the nuclear deal]," he said.
He will travel later to Mumbai to witness the construction of houses for the poor by an American voluntary organisation and visit parts of India hit by the tsunami in 2004.
Mr. Carter said that Iraq had interrupted what Washington was trying to do in Afghanistan the rooting out of the Al-Qaeda presence.
Supporting a "wall" being built between the U.S. Government and religious organisations, he said he wasn't happy with the links that had been built between these two entities in the past five years.
Calling for a major international conference on Iraq, which must include American touch-me-nots like Iran and Syria, he said the country could be rebuilt after the U.S. withdrew its control.
Asked what lesson the U.S. could learn from the invasion, he said America must understand that it could not impose its system of governance on others.
While regretting the North Korean decision to test a nuclear weapon, Mr. Carter, who mediated between Washington and Pyongyang back in 1994, said that direct talks should be held between the two sides to address the latest crisis. He wanted the U.S. to extend an assurance to North Korea that Washington would not launch a military attack if Pyongyang remained peaceful. Charging that North Korea was an isolated, paranoid State, Mr. Carter said it had formidable military capabilities.

OverviewTurkey Point Campground is situated on Melvern Lake on the eastern edge of the Flint Hills of Kansas. Visitors enjoy the area's wide range of recreational activities, including boating, fishing, hiking and hunting.
Natural Features:
The Flint Hills represent America's last expanse of intact tallgrass prairie, made up of big bluestem, switchgrass and Indian grass. The rolling hills on the south side of the lake are wooded, and the campground has scattered trees and some shade.
Melvern Lake impounds nearly 7,000 acres of water on the upper reaches of the Marais des Cygnes River Valley. Boating and swimming are popular activities on the lake.
The campground offers two group camps. One offers a group campsite with basic amenities, a pit privy, and a shelter with a grill, water, and electricity.
Activities and Amenities
Know Before You GoOperation of any vehicle that is not properly licensed is prohibited at Melvern Lake. This includes golf carts, motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, motorized skateboards, electric bicycles, or any other vehicle typically designed for off road or recreational use.
In 2011, it was discovered that Melvern Lake had been infested with zebra mussels. The Zebra mussel is an invasive species in the U.S. and Kansas has adopted new laws to help to alleviate this problem. It is extremely important to keep your vessels clean and drained dry of any water collected while boating in infested waters to avoid spreading this nuisance species.
