Last semester, sophomore Stan Pearson, with the assistance of Diane Wetzel, created a four-foot wide, six foot high ceramic mural, which now hangs on a wall near the English department. "There was no way I could take it home," Stan said.

"It weighs a couple of hundred pounds so it will stay here in the school." Stan and Diane did the mural for an art class. "For me, it was like a far-out dream come true," Stan said. "We plan on dong a whole lot more. I know the (school) library wants one. Who knows.

Maybe we'll turn this school into an art museum." ELLSWORTH- The Willing Workers Society of Ellsworth recently celebrated its 75th anniversary. The society was started in February of 1906 to assist Sunday School workers and to promote sociability among neighbors in the Ash Creek and Thomas townships. The group's first charitable project was to purchase a cow for the Ossie Caldwell family which lost all their possessions in a tornado, according to Bessie Boggs, Ellsworth, the oldest member of the group who joined in 1923. Mrs. Chester Turner is the the only charter member of the group still living although she no longer is a member.

The society now has 28 members including five third- generation members. fr -tT -k HUTCHINSON- Watercolor paintings by artist Mal- leta Forsberg of rural Lindsborg are on display in the Hutchinson Community College Art Building during the month of February.

Bob Dickinson Simmental presidency to Gorham man GORHAM Bob Dickinson of rural Gorham was elected president of the American Simmental Association during the association's 13th annual convention in Denver, Colo. Dickinson, who owns and operates Dickinson Simmentals, a family-run operation about 10 miles north of Gorham in eastern Ellis County, succeeds Albert West III of San Antonio, Texas.

Dickinson is a strong advocate of performance testing and has chaired the important ASA Performance Committee for the past four years. He served as ASA vice president during 1980 and was treasurer in 1979. He is a graduate of Kansas State University and served as president of the Kansas Simmental Association in 1974-75. In 1975, Dickinson was honored by the Kansas Wildlife Federation as the "State Soil Conservationist of the Year." Dickinson and his wife, Jan, and their four children take an active part in the running of their family farm where they raise some 300 head of Sim- mentals. Plans for alcohol plant are expanded ST.

FRANCIS A favorable economic study has increased hopes for an alcohol plant in Northwest Kansas. Agri Food and Fuel Cooperative, a St. Francis-based, farmer-owned cooperative, has received a favorable site specific economic study for a 22 million gallon per year plant and has started expanding its membership for a larger 35 million gallon plant. The cooperative includes members generally within a 100-mile radius of St. Francis in Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska.

The site for the alcohol plant will not be determined until the membership is complete and the cooperative examines which locations will be most profitable for the members. The cooperative plans a mid-summer groundbreaking for construction and utilization of members' 1982 grains in mid-1983. The decision to expand to a 35 million gallon plant was based on analyses which demonstrated a higher rate of profitability as well as more flexibility against the market fluctuations or grain and product prices. "Our members could receive a price for grain averaging substantially more than the market price per bushel over the 10 years of plant operation, depending on current market values of our primary products, fuel alcohol and distiller's dried grains and solubles," said Rodney Shay, president of the cooperative board from St. Francis, about the study done by the Arthur D.

Little Inc. consulting firm of Cambridge, Mass. AFFC has over 390 members who have pledged approximately 4.5 million bushels of grain. Fourteen million bushels a year would be required for a 35 million gallon operation and the cooperative plans to reach 65 percent of that, or 9.1 million bushels.
