Cooper finds Copy Center work anything but repetitious

Mrs . Betty Cooper, had no idea three years ago that she would be up toherelbows in inkevery day and enjoy it.

"Ihad no interest inprinting," she said,"butmy husband, Fred, worked in thebusgarage and Iwasoffered a job here."

After three days of training by a sales representative, Mrs.Cooper was on her own.

Her first project was to run 10,000 copies of a bus flier. According to Mrs Cooper, things did not go as planned

The machine jammed and groaned. Lines ofink covered the copy, obliterating thewords

"I had 10 masters wrapped around the rollers and Ididn't know it," she said."Ididn't know what tolookfor at the time."

According to copy center workers, the office'smost unusual incident occurred when anemployee failed to secure thepaper guards in the collator

"The papers ran through thepress into the collator and out the other side,"they said "Woebeunto anyone who came inthedoor They ended up picking paper outof their teeth."

At its inception, thecopy center had only one press and twoemployees

Three years later, there are three full-time staff members, two workstudy employees, two off-set addressograph machines,acollator, aphotocopy machine, a folder, an electric knife and two electricstaplers

According toMrs.Cooper,theadditional machinery has greatly increased the center's production capacity.

"In the beginning we did 200,000 copies per month," she said. "Wenow average350,000per month but 400,000 was our all-time high."

In themidst of hectic activity during a wrestlingpractice, Coach BobBonheim calmlygoes about his responsibilities. Bonheim was voted WrestlingCoach of the Year in the NCCAA.

Following the 1978 season, Coach Dowling wasselected by theChurchman's All-American committee as small college coach ofthe year for his efforts and success at "building a young program into prominence."
