Ireland Sutton, age seven, learned that if she put her thumb over the end of the plastic drinking straw, she really could jab it through a potato in one thrust. It's possible, explained one of Sterling College's biology majors, because of the captured air pressure built up in the straw. The SC biology majors spent the afternoon of February 13 at the Kansas Kids' Museum in Hutchinson teaching kids all sorts of science like this-and all through the use of potatoes.

Sterling College junior, Zach Goodrich, was named the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference "Player of the Week" after helping lead the Warriors to big wins over McPherson College and Ottawa University last week.

Goodrich, a 5'7 guard, averaged 31.0 ppg., 4.5 rrg, 4.0 assists and 3 steals last week in Sterling's two conference victories last week. Zach was 14/21 from behind the three point arc for 66%.

To say the Sterling College Debate and Forensics Team is "having a good season" is an understatement in Coach Ken Troyer's view. "Seeing that we have no seniors on the team this year, I am absolutely thrilled with our season," he said recently. "To have six qualified for the AFA nationals; a debate team ranked in the top two in the nation for most of the year; and four state championships-it's a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the SC students."
