We visit them andget a “steal” of a lunch forFREE. But back in the earlydays of KC, the students did nothave these places to visit, eat orpray.In 1959, the area Churches ofChrist voted to build the firstBible chair at KC. In April of1960, the Wesley Foundationbought a house and converted itinto a Bible chair for Methodiststudents.The Baptist opened the BaptistStudent Center in Octoberof 1963. The $45,000 buildingcontained 14 rooms and 4,200square feet of floor space.Christ the King CatholicChurch offered the NewmanClub access to the Church Hall,so then four denominations wereteaching Bible classes at KC.The Baptist and the Catholicswere organized at KC fromalmost the beginning, but theseorganizations were clubs, notBible chairs.Fifty years ago the WesleyFoundation built a new building,on the corner of Broadway andNolen streets.All of the Bible chairs offerBible study, fellowship andactivities for interested studentsand faculty.The Church of Christ was the Þrst Bible Chair at KC.File Photo / THE FLARE

Thatdefeat cost the Lady Rangers a trip tothe NJCAA National Tournament.However, one key player from that58-46, championship game defeat,returned to the court this season withother plans. Sophomore Danyell Oliverscored 13 second-half points, helpingthe Lady Rangers hold off a late TVCCrally.Oliver, a member of last season’sRegion XIV All-Tournament team,scored a game-high 16 points for KC,which led 34-25 at halftime.Rashida Young chipped in 12 pointsand grabbed nine rebounds, includingthe game’s final rebound of a missedTrinity Valley free throw that wouldhave tied the game.Fresh from the thrilling upset victoryover Trinity Valley, theLady Ranger basketballteamappearedto maintain thatmomentum in the earlystages of Wednesday’shome game againstParis Junior College inMasters Gymnasium.KC raced out to a 17-4 lead over the LadyDragons. Camille Voitotnailed two 3-pointers late in the firsthalf, helping the Lady Rangers build a10-point halftime lead, 31-21.Unfortunately for KC, basketball hastwo halves, and PJC took advantage ofthe extra time on the clock. The LadyDragons stormed back with a 24-9 runto open the second half.PJC converted two consecutive “oldfashioned”three-point plays followingKC fouls to take a 43-37 lead with 12:44remaining on the clock.The Lady Rangers kept the game closeover the next few minutes. Oliver madeher second 3-pointer of the half with6:38 to go, tying the game, 47-47.The Lady Dragons responded,however, with a 14-3 run to close thegame, giving KC its third conferenceloss, 64-50.Oliver led all scorers with 18 points.Young scored eight points, while LilyAbreu added seven points for KC.The Lady Rangers play two gamesin Jacksonville against Lon MorrisCollege Jan. 16 and JacksonvilleCollege Jan. 23, before returning hometo play Blinn College Jan. 27.Ozarka Lady Ranger ClassicJan. 1-2, Masters GymnasiumJan. 1Tyler 83,Arkansas Baptist 74Jan. 2KILGORE 81,Collin County 72Rick Gray / THE FLAREJah-Leah Ellis eyes a passing lane during the LadyRangers’ 63-60 conference victory over arch-rival TylerJunior College Jan. 6 in Masters Gym.KILGORE 57, Ranger 49Lon Morris 78,Collin County 62Arkansas Baptist 91,Lon Morris 87Tyler 81, Ranger 59Rick Gray / THE FLARERashida Young lays the ball in the hoop during a homematchup with Paris Junior College.

KC slowly chipped awayat that lead and appeared togain momentum when PJC waswhistled for a technical foul with7:13 remaining in the game.Derron Hobbs stepped to the freethrow line and knocked down bothattempts, narrowing KC’s deficit tonine points.However, PJC’s defense limitedKC to six points in the final sevenminutes, eventually melting theclock for a 67-48 conference win.Dane Smith was the only Rangerto reach double figures in pointswith 10. Hobbs added nine, all freethrows, while Derian Shafer scoredeight points.Paris shot 51 percent fromthe floor, yet only converted oneight of the team’s 16 free throwattempts.

OPINIONTHEFLAREPAGETUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 20107Dr. BillHoldaKC PresidentNew Year’s WisdomRick Gray / THE FLAREMartinPessinkKCPD chiefHeidi Lybarger / THE FLARERené WileyAdministrative assistant tovice president of instructionI love to read quotes from othersbecause they are often inspiring tome. Below are some of those that Ireally like.The difference between winningand losing is quitting.The point of living, and of being anoptimist, is to be foolish enough tobelieve the best is yet to come.It’s not what is dealt you that’simportant. It’s how you play the handthat’s dealt you that’s important.Success is a journey not adestination.Advice for students as they enter 2010I realize that attendingcollege and doing well is very stressful. Onceyou finish college you will look back andsmile and realize that it was not nearly asdifficult as you thought.Try to begin your day with a clear focus, a purposeand a plan for the day.If you lose your way through the day, don’t ever be afraid to start over.You are not alone. Don’t ever give up!If class starts at nine and you getto campus at 8:50, you will not finda parking space and may end uphaving to walk some distance toclass. You will be late, aggravatedand feel rushed all day. Top this offwith a ticket for parking in the wrongspot and it just makes for a bad day!The start of the school semester is ahectic time, trying to find a parkingplace, finding your classes, makingconnections and so on. Reduceyour stress level bygetting an early starteach day. This way youwill not be rushed.Coming in early will allow you tofind a parking place and get to classon time. Giving yourself a few extraminutes will make sure you are morerelaxed and ready for the school day.Helen Shuler / THE FLAREThe best words of wisdom I can offer students as we begin anew semester are words that were once painted on the BSMwall. The beginning of the book of Proverbs is written like afather writing to his child as the child grows into adulthood.In Proverbs 3:5-6 it says“Trust in the Lordwith all your heart.Lean not on yourown understanding.In all your waysacknowledge Himand He will directyour paths.” Toseek to follow theways of God is thebest path and wisestwords I can think of.Rick Gray / THE FLAREShelly WebbBaptist StudentMinistry directorYour college schedule will be different from your high school schedule. Regular attendance andpreparation before each class are necessary in order to keep up with the material. If you areheavily involved in both academics and clubs, you will not have as much free time to hang outand socialize with friends, so be prepared for a very different schedule.Get to know at least one professor well each semester because you will eventually needreferences for summer internships, graduate school and employment.You will meet people who have different customs, beliefs, valuesand habits. Try to get along with everyone; it will make yourexperience much more enjoyable. Remember that learning takesplace both in and out of the classroom.Rick Gray / THE FLARELatane SpeerGovernment instructor,cheerleader sponsorThe new year is a chance for youto wipe the slate clean. Use thisopportunity to start off on the rightfoot in your new classes. Introduceyourself to your instructors andshow them that you’re interestedin what they have to say. Takeadvantage of KC’s small classsizes and don’t be afraid to askyour instructors for any extra help— that’s what they’re there for.Don’t let yourself get behind andactually read the textbooks — youbought them for a reason, and thatreason is not to collect dust underHeidi Lybarger / THE FLAREChristian KeittThe FlareExecutive editoryour bed. Also, get involved! College is muchmore than just going to class. This year, resolveto make the most of your academic experience at KC.Universalchord inTexas tunesWhen my college careerbegan two and a halfyears ago, I had neverlived outside of my hometown. I hadgone to school withthe same groupof people for 12years and was veryfamiliar with theirmusical tastes.I assumed thateveryone, at least inthe state of Texas,listened to the samemusic as my friendsand I.I thought thatASHLEY AUSTINMANAGINGEDITOReveryone knew of the few great Texascountry artists whose music wasseldom played on Houston radio, butwere known around town for playingat local fairs and rodeo shows. Iwas sure that they all adored thebig-name artists who made a yearlyappearance at the Houston LivestockShow and Rodeo. I assumed thateveryone else knew all of the slangterms used in the rap songs that weblasted from our car stereos when wewere trying to act cool.I was sadly mistaken.Upon moving to Austin for my firstyear of college, I quickly found thatthe country musicians I was proud toboast about having seen in concert,were common fixtures of the localmusic scene. My new classmateswere often bored with their old songs,having listened to them played overand over again on Austin radio.There, it was all about finding themost obscure musician in town andlistening to their songs on a CDthat had yet to be picked up by anylabel. Although some of my favoritesremained revere; newer, youngerartists were all the rage.I tried out the Austin brand ofmusic and found that I quicklyadapted to the scene. I loved sitting ina quaint coffeehouse, sipping a latteand listening to a new songwriter tryout his tunes using just his voice andan old acoustic guitar. Gone were thedays of booming Southern rap overmy stereo speakers to try to fit in. Ibecame immersed in the rockabillystyle of the live music capital of theworld.Then I became a Rangerette, and offto Kilgore it was for me!As I have learned, depending onwho you are in East Texas, yourmusical tastes can vary dramatically.I’ve noticed that some cars drivingaround campus prefer to blast lowrap beats through big bass speakers,while others belt out the latest hitsof Nashville superstars. For somereason, the blend of musical cultureshere seems to be a perfect fit forme. In an hour’s drive I can be inNacogdoches, hanging out with theKevin Fowler Band and listening totheir rich Texas Country sounds live.I can go to Longview and two-stepat Graham’s to more mainstreamcountry, never missing a beat as themusic changes every other set toplay a blend of rock and hip-hop thatmy friends and I love to dance to. Itseems that no matter where I am, orwho I share my musical tastes with,here, I don’t have to adjust my musicstyle to fit in.Don’t get me wrong, I still love atrip to Austin to hear those bluesycoffeehouse tunes. After all, that iswhere most of my favorite artists gottheir start. I also can’t get enoughof my favorite dancehall at homein Houston where the DJ knows allof the songs that my boyfriend andI love to dance to. I still jam out tothe low rhythm of some H-town rapoccasionally, but I do it now becauseI like it, not because I’m trying toimpress anyone.However naive I was to believe thatthe musical culture in which I grewup was the same in other parts ofthe state, I am glad that I was wrong.The past two and a half years haveopened my eyes to different genresand tastes of the music industry.Texas is, by nature, a unique statein many ways. The same can besaid of the people who inhabit it.Texans have their own culture, theirown style and their own individualtastes in music. I am proud to be aTexan and proud to enjoy the musicthat I love.Ashley Austin is a sophomorecommunications major fromPasadena.The FlareVOL. 73 NO. 11 ■ TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 20102008 Sweepstakes Winner in Texas Intercollegiate Press Association and Texas Community College Journalism AssociationCopyright 2010, The Flare.

+PAGE8Resolving tokeep resolutionsNew Year’s resolutions– everyone makesthem, includingyour resident college survivalguide columnist. Yes, I made aNew Year’sresolution. Iwon’t revealit here, butI will do mybest to stickto it … Ithink.You see, inthe past, myNew Year’sresolutionshave fallenjust shortASHLEYAUSTINMANAGINGEDITORof my great expectations. Ivow to make a permanentchange in my day-to-day lifeand no matter how hard Itry, I just can’t seem to makemyself make the adjustment.From my experiences, I havelearned several lessons that Ithink may help many of yoube successful in keeping yourNew Year’s resolutions.First, be sure that yourresolution yields a realisticgoal or purpose. Accordingto polls conducted byGeneral Nutrition Centersand Quicken, more than 50percent of Americans vow tospend more time with familyand friends in 2010. However,most college students liveaway from home and moreoften than not do not have thefinancial means or time tovisit home frequently. Withstudies and extracurricularactivities, time is also arelevant issue. In this case,turn wanting to spend moretime with family into keepingin better communication withfamily members who youmay not be able to see often.Social networking sites, textmessaging, phone calls, e-mails and even handwrittenletters can all be great toolsto help you stay connectedthroughout the year.Keeping yourself on track tokeep up a lofty resolution canbe challenging. Try gettingyour friends involved to helpmotivate you to reach yourASHLEY’S COLLEGESURVIVAL GUIDEgoals in 2010. If you plan toboost your workout habitsthis year, enlist one friend,perhaps a roommate, to beyour partner. Keep each otherin check. If one of you beginsto stray from the plan, remindeach other of the commitmentyou made at the start of theyear to get fit. Although it isbetter to go it alone than tonot go at all, having backup isalways a great way to ensureyour goals are reached.Another way to keepyourself on track is to makeyour resolution specific.Saying that you want tolose weight is a broadgeneralization. It couldattribute to you losing severalpounds and then losing sightof your goal. Saying that youwant to lose 15 pounds before2011 gives you a specific markto aim for.Try writing down yourresolution and settingmarkers throughout theyear at which to checkyour progress. Settingsmaller goals which addup to complete your initialresolution before the closeof the year will help youmaintain a clear path toobtain your final result.No matter what yourresolution may be, make surethat it is something worthyour time and effort. Evenif you don’t quite achieve it,striving for a goal which willimprove your overall qualityof life can help you gainvaluable skills.I have found that patienceand perseverance are the keysto keeping your resolutions.Hopefully, I will be able tofollow my own advice andstick to my New Year’sresolution once and for allthis year.Ashley Austin is a sophomorecommunications major fromPasadena.+THE FLARE TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2010NEWSGlenda Derveloy / SPECIAL TO THE FLAREThis image by Glenda Derveloy, Henderson sophomore, was selected for Childhood: An International Photo Exhibition.
