Junior Joe Bambenek took time out to help paint portions of one of the residence halls. opening 5 (Page 6) Beyond any comparison LEAVING OUR MARK Beyond the high ACT scores, the countless hours of preparing for class and the misconception that we did not do anything but study, we still found ways to maintain our sanity. At surface level, this may be the perfect picture of a Northeast student, but beneath it all, were late night pizza deliveries, snowball fights and junk food binges during finals week. Beyond the residence hall hallways and visitation hours, students still managed to sneak in that special someone for a night of mashing or shacking. Beyond lake parties, SAB concerts and happy hours with infamous onion rings, we still had to do our laundry and eat PFM. Our parents arrived for Parent's Day, old friends came for homecoming and we saw it all... from a different surface. 6 student life (Page 7) Being artistically precise, freshman Amy Fischer carves a pumpkin in the quad during the annual pumpkin carving contest sponsored by SAB. photo by Kristine Werner STU. LIFE student life 7 (Page 8) DOGGING AROUND Students had a chance to let off steam before finals and socialize with friends before summer during Dog Days, NMSU's year-end celebration. An extended schedule and new events contributed to the week's success. The festivities began with the "Wild Video Dance Party", which took place in the Armory. The final event of this celebration was a day long carnival. With these two events and the numerous events that filled the rest of the eleven day Dog Days festival, this year's celebration set a new standard for years to come. "This year's Dog Days certainly had a positive outcome," junior David Nitz said. The Carnival on the Mall was one of the most attended functions of the celebration. Other popular events were "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and the Scavenger Hunt. Betsy Bingo, a new addition to the festival, gained a considerable amount of attention and support from the student body as well. The Dog Days Committee had to face scheduling conflicts with Greek Week. In order to accommodate both events, it was decided to combine the Greek Week and Dog Days Olympics for the first NMSU Olympics. "Because of a late Easter Break and the impending finals, neither group would have been able to operate their event without conflicting with the other," Dog Days chairman Russ Swain said. To keep the tradition of Greek Olymics, two brackets were made -- one for Greek contestants and the other for independents. The champions from each division then contended for the NMSU final. "It really gathered the entire campus together," junior Karen Haney said. Many people thought this year's Dog Days was the best organized and most complete it has been since its origin in 1986. The increased attendance and expanded schedule has set a precedent for Dog Days to come, Swain said. "Dog Days is the one last chance before the end of the year to have a good time with all of your friends in Kirksville," Swain said. Making its campus debut in a step show, local sorority Alpha Psi Omega shows off its talents. A stage located on McClain circle allowed such groups to showcase their talents. photo by Thom Kennedy Jeering at someone who just missed his face, junior Tim Parmeter braves the pie-in-the face booth.

The rides were part of the Dog Days carnival where students could participate in the diverse activities offered. It was rather ironic that at the end of Communication Week, Bad English came to perform to a sold out crowd in Pershing Arena. The concert began at 8:30 p. m. with Velvet Elvis warming up the crowd for the main attraction. This five member band played most of its original songs. John Waite and his four member band took the stage next. They pleased the crowd with their tremendous light show. The band started their performance with songs from their first album "Bad English". "The whole crowd got into the concert," senior Rob Laux said. "I think the band had a lot of fun with it, even with the small size crowd." The Student Activities Board hosted the concert. Junior Ted Triggs said the concert went better than planned both in operation and finance. The concert was the first one open to the public in thirteen years. "The fact that we opened the concert contributed to the sold out crowd," Triggs said. Once the concert was sold out, students went to great lengths to get tickets. A local radio station offered four backstage passes to the listener who would perform the craziest stunt. Freshman Kristi Howard won the contest when she faked an orgasm on the lawn in front of the station. "I was watching 'When Harry Met Sally' when I had the idea," Howard said. "I thought it would be an outrageous thing to do." Howard's ticket winning stunt was not the only unique twist to the concert. Bad English had some interesting menu choices in their contract and Professional Food Management had to provide the choices after contract negotiation. The band requested yellow Gatorade and Evian water be served along with all Pepsi products. They also asked that no broccoli be served on their vegetable tray. SAB treasurer Jane Yeckel said they came within $500 of breaking even on the concert. "This has been the best we have done," Yeckel said. "To us, this is a break-even."

The Bulldogs defeated Northwest Missouri State University (Maryville) for the Hickory Stick, Elaine Boosler joked around with a capacity crowd and students showed their athletic skills in the Homecoming Olympics. Kicking off the week, NMSU Live began on Monday with President Russell Warren and Coach Eric Holm commenting on the theme "Come Together". The Bulldogs were loudly cheered for their 7-1 record and their 12th seed in the nation. The Homecoming Olympics were held the next night in Kirk Gym. Events included the human amoeba and the six-legged race. "It's good," junior Sherri Daise said. "It gets everyone together and also helps the relations between Greeks and non-Greeks." Wednesday, students cast their votes for Homecoming candidates. King candidates were Larry Weber, Casey Kespohl, Maurice Eggleston and Matt Candrl. Queen candidates were Amy Ricker, Anne Blanke, Sarah Hartmann and Laurie Auer. Homecoming Chairman Jane Gargus was happy with voter turnout. "We had just over 1,000 people vote," Gargus said. Friday night Baldwin Hall was packed for the pep rally and coronation where Amy Ricker and Matt Candrl were crowned Homecoming Queen and King. "Everybody showed a lot of spirit," sophomore Sheila Poettgen said. "The skits were really good and the cheerleaders were excellent. This is definitely a good way to promote school spirit. After the pep rally, Poi Dog Pondering played their progressive sounds to a small crowd. "They were very proficient musicians," senior Gretchen Mueller said, "I wish more people would have supported them." The Bulldogs retained the Hickory Stick with their 33-31 victory over the Bearcats. By the time the week was over, many students found themselves having to catch up on rest. "I slept until 3 p.m. Sunday," junior Amy Enderle said. "I was so exhausted from all the events." -Lynn Brashears Not as easy as it sounds!

I'd definitely like to see more concerts like this." (Page 16) THE TEST OF TIME "Ch, ch, ch, changes, turn and face the changes," at least that is what David Bowie recommends. Even though it may not look like it on the surface, Kirksville has definitely undergone some changes. What students now consider a small, quiet town, was once the site of a Civil War battle. More than 150 people were killed and 300-400 were left wounded in the Battle of Kirksville. Because extra space was needed to care for the wounded, the Ivie Building was converted into a temporary hospital. Historical accounts recall that amputated limbs were tossed out the windows into the alley and were later disposed of. Today, Books and Things is housed in the building. Petite Three is not the only movie theater that has entertained Kirksville residents. The Princess Theater, now Sieren's Palace, attracted such famous actors as Jimmy Dickens and Ernest Tubbs. Admission in 1917 was 10 and 20 cents with war tax included. One look at the ceiling reveals the garnishments typical of theater in that day such as the embossed tin ceiling and elaborate moulding. Many Kirksville businesses have come and gone, but a few have managed to stick around through the years. Troester's men's clothing is one such store. Since 1915, the family has managed to stay in business even through rough economic times. "We've succeeded by staying with the times and moving ahead with the new fashion looks," John Troester said. "You have to listen to the customers and offer the clothing lines, service and quality they want." While some businesses struggle to stay in the black, others continue to expand. Hardee's opened its third location in Kirksville in October outnumbering Pizza Hut which has two locations. The changes in Kirksville businesses occur quickly. Within the last year, Ken's Pizza, Deliworks, Baskin Robbins and Bonanza closed their doors permanently while Athlete's Foot, Hardee's and Ponderosa came to town. Student patronage plays a large part in which businesses survive and which ones close their doors. "There is no question that the students at NMSU contribute greatly to the local economy," Rick Armstrong, executive director for the Kirksville Area Chamber of Commerce said. The new Hardees, located on Highway 63, offers the added attraction of a playground for the children. This became the third Hardees available to Kirksville residents. photo by Thom Kennedy After nearly seven decades, Troester's remains a popular place to buy men's clothing. After the drug store next door shut down, Troester's opened up the Top Shop which sells NMSU and Greek paraphernalia. The original store opened in 1922. 16 student life (Page 17) photo by Thom Kennedy Mister Jim's Inc. is now one of the men's clothing competitors in Kirksville. The store got its start through a former employee of Troester's. Along with other menfs clothing stores, Mister Jim's supplied male students with interview suits and tux rentals. photo by Thom Kennedy Books and Things sees much better times in the modern era. During the Civil War the building served as a makeshift hospital. Decorative, highly detailed relief work done in plaster adorns the ceiling and walls of Sieren's Palace. "Amputated limbs were tossed out of the windows of the Ivie Building into the neighboring buildings. " town history 17 (Page 18) Something in Store Although Kirksville did not have a mall, many stores carried NMSU paraphernalia. For these small businesses, Bulldog stuff meant big bucks. Students bought everything from Bulldog boxer shorts to purple and white bumper stickers. When some necessity was left at home, it was usually easy to find a replacement with NMSU logos and colors. If the soap started melting in the shower, there were bulldog soap dishes; or if toothbrushes were in the way, a bulldog toothbrush holder. Some students found the responsibility of carrying keys a problem, making NMSU keychains a big seller. "The first thing I had to buy was a keychain; they had a bunch, but this was my favorite - it's pretty cool, it has a bulldog on it," freshman Karl Sommerhauser said. Other practical items available included notebooks, folders, writing utensils, plastic cups, and a combination letter opener and ruler decorated with the NMSU seal. Though these were not useful to everyone, students still found it beneficial to have such things readily available not only for convenience but for school spirit. "I think it's great that we have a bookstore on campus that sells stuff you can use that also has something like the school colors or a bulldog on it," sophomore Kristine Neal said. Many students started an NMSU wardrobe after they saw a wide array of t-shirts, sweatshirts and boxer shorts. A new variety of colors was offered this year when stores began to sell sweatshirts in neons, earth tones and pastels. "The stores only used to have purple and white shirts, but now they're starting to get with it and make the NMSU stuff look really cool -- I really like the different colors," junior Jim Daher said. "At first I just wanted to support the school, but now they've got some hip stuff." School spirit manifested itself in many different ways. Some students displayed bumper stickers on their cars to let the public know they attended the Harvard of the Midwest, while others showed their spirit more privately, wearing bulldog nightwear. Some even brought a bit of NMSU home for the holidays with a bulldog Christmas tree ornament. Whatever their tastes or interests, students were able to show they were behind the bulldogs -- even with bulldog underwear. Taking time out on the mall, senior Doug Williams and junior Kim Hughes talk between classes. Students were often seen on campus wearing Bulldog jackets, t-shirts and sweatshirts. photo by Thom Kennedy Looking over the t-shirts in McClain Hall designed for an Alpha Sigma Gamma fundraiser, senior Michele Wallukait asks seniors Edna Pritchett and Tracy Nelson a few questions. Many organizations sold NMSU stuff to raise extra funds. 18 student life (Page 19) photo by Thom Kennedy Stuffed bears and bulldogs proclaim school spirit and await new homes. Students bought items such as these as gifts for family members and friends. The campus bookstore supplied many items with the Bulldog emblem emblazoned ... A license to show School spirit Personalized license plates were all the rage during the 80s. Now as the 90s begin, NMSU supporters were able to reveal part of their identity with NMSU license plates. The purple plates consist of a symbol of Kirk Memorial and a 5-digit code or personalized message, David Clithero, director of alumni development, said. Missouri state law made it possible to issue the plates for public and private uniyersities in order to raise funds for academic-related activities. "I think it is an excellent way to raise funds for higher education," freshman John Marcotte said. "It can only benefit our college system." Any member of the Alumni Association is eligible to purchase the plates after making a donation of $25 or more to the general scholarship fund. After the donation is made, the donor must receive an authorization card from the University. Then an application for personalized plates has to be filed with the department of motor vehicles. "I think it's stupid that you have to join the Alumni Association to get the plates," freshman Will Willis said. "They should be available to the general student body." As of October, 475 requests were made for the plates. The plates first appeared at the end of November. NORTHEAST Missouri State University Pricing campus apparel, junior Jennifer Schnell surveys the selection offered by the bookstore. Various paraphernalia could be purchased with the NMSU logo printed on them. license plates 19 (Page 20) photo by Thom Kennedy CALL ME CRAZY Picture this: A pile of dust balls that have accumulated under the remotest regions of your bed, the movie stubs from the past years to the latest flicks, and the chewing gum you chomped on to stay awake in algebra. Do any of these items sound like the basis for a collection? Probably not to Joe Average. But to some people, these things had the characteristics of an awesome collection. Some of the strange knickknacks that students and faculty cherished could be considered bizarre. Freshman Mark Harmon collected broken skateboards. Harmon had 10 of them, and his only criterion was that he had to break them himself. "The skateboards are too valuable to throw away," Harmon said. "I plan to hang them on my wall when I have enough." Freshman Sharon Sullivan began her greeting card collection when she was five years old. Since then, she has saved every greeting card she has received from holidays and birthdays. "The cards are something special from friends," Sullivan said, "they have a lot of memories that I couldn't throw away." Saving pens and markers that no longer work was sophomore Erin Lysaght's hobby. Her collection began in high school, and it now numbers more than 50. "I was too lazy to throw them away so I kept them," Lysaght said. Her interest in geography and history inclined Spanish instructor Jill Graffius to collect globes and historical maps with explorers' paths on them. Graffius has gathered 10 globes and 25 maps since beginning five years ago. Comic books were somewhat more common for collectors, but freshman Bill Trokey has collected them for eight years and now has more than 2, 000. Trokey's favorite comic was the "X-Men." Sophomore Jim Hohenbary kept pen cylinders after the ink ran out. Hohenbary started a year and a half ago and has accumulated 20 pen cylinders. Freshman Gayle Kinsey saved her baby teeth. "I couldn't throw them away so I put them in a box for safe keeping," Kinsey said. "When I become famous, then they can be displayed in a museum." The next time you clean under your bed or venture into your closet, do not toss out those mismatched socks full of holes, the Bart Simpson paraphernalia that once covered your walls or the finger painting in kindergarten that rivaled Van Gough. Hold onto them because you may have the beginning of a one-of-a-kind collection. photo by Lori Nix Displaying one of his longer ties. University designer Mark Schepker shows off his large collection of colorful ties. Schepker preferred a mix of outrageous and traditional styles to complement his collection. His collection was only one of many which were different. Freshman Elaine Joggerst carefully separates her M&M's, salvaging the green colored ones to increase her already vast stockpile. Many students admitted to collecting weird items. 20 student life (Page 21) photo by Ken Roth Forget collecting stamps, coins and baseball cards! Sophomore Jim Hohenbary displays a portion of his vast collection of pen cylinders.

" -freshman Gayle Kinsey strange collections 21 (Page 22) Return to Sender Despite the global effort to save the earth through recycling, one faction of society -- companies that send junk mail -- has not caught on to the craze. Junk mail is considered any mail the receiver does not want or like (with the exception of bills). "It is useless information," freshman Tony Knaack said. "I think it is stupid that we get put on computer mailing lists and start receiving tons of useless mail. I also think we are wasting valuable resources that could be helping our environment." According to a November 1990 article in the "Utne Reader," 62. 8 billion pieces of unsolicited mail are sent each year. Of that number, more than 12 billion are catalogs. In order to produce these catalogs, 74, 000 acres of forest are destroyed. Counting, to newspapers, magazines and other mail ads, the number of acres destroyed tops one million. The environmental impact of junk mail is not the only thing that disturbs students. The fact that it is not "important mail" bothers people waiting to receive mail from family and friends. "There are three of us in my room so they should just give us junk mail for one," freshman Chris Guinn said. "I wait for things from home, and when I see campus mail, I hate it because it's always something bad." Dobson Hall desk worker Kevin Hingle said all junk mail addressed to a specific student gets put in that person's mailbox. Mail addressed to the occupant or postal patron is placed in front of the hall desk and is rarely paid attention to by residents. Hingle finds it annoying that students not only don't take time to read their junk mail but many times throw it on the floor instead of recycling it. "It is a pain in the neck to put it in the mailbox if the person it is addressed to isn't even going to look at it," Hingle said. Students who take their junk mail back to their rooms have different ways of dealing with it. Some save it, while others try to pawn it off on their roommates. "When I get junk mail, I usually throw it away in the recycling box or I hide it in my roommates stuff," freshman James Adkins said. "I'll peek at it and if it is nothing worthwhile, I'll throw it away." But throwing it away won't make Ed McMahon or Publisher's Clearing House go away. Until students find a way to omit their names from the countless number of computerized lists that circulate each year, their mailboxes will continue to be stuffed with mail even less desirable than bills -- junk mail. Junk mail piles up quickly when students apply for credit cards and catalogs. Of the mail students received in the Residence Halls, a great percentage was junk mail. photo by Thom Kennedy Flyers adorn the windshields of most vehicles at one time or another. Not even campus parking lots were safe from junk mailers. Many drivers found them bothersome, although others, sighed with relief that the flyers were not tickets. (Page 23) THIS IS A DISH TOWEL CLUB Please send a new dish towel to the first name on the list below. Then only my name should be on the list. Move my name to the first place and put your name in the second place and pass out six letters. This is not a chain letter, it's just for fun. If you cannot do this within ten days, notify me because it isn't fair to those who do participate, A large manilla envelope will mail a towel nicely. You should receive 36 towels. Seldom does anyone drop out because we can all use dish towels. REMEMBER: 36 towels for the price of one. Chain letters are considered a form of junk mail by many students. Participating in chain letters increased the amount of wasted paper floating around. Letters like this one requesting dishtowels were often thrown away even though doing so was considered bad luck. photo by Thom Kennedy Standing in a pile of junk mail students have thrown on the floor, freshman Art Baldwin decides to add his mail to the pile. Sorting real mail from junk mail is junior Kelley Reeves. Most students threw away junk mail or pushed it off on their roommates. "I usually throw it away in the recycling box or else I hide it in my roommate's stuff." freshman James Adkins junk mail 23 (Page 24) Pop Me a Beer Ron Bacardi, Jack Daniels, the Gallo brothers, Bud Wiser, Hiram Walker and Mick Elob; all college students know these people either as friends, enemies or those they strictly avoid. Of course Ron, Jack and the crew are all kinds of alcohol. Alcohol plays a large role in a college students's life. Whether drinking a few, having friends that do or avoiding it, alcohol affects them. Students choose these potions as friends for a number of reasons. Some might enjoy the short- term effects, while others drink for social reasons. Still others depend on it to get them through their day to day activities. "I drink because it helps me have a good time," freshman Chris Terry said. "I also like the taste of it." Other students do not drink because they have seen alcohols effect or just do not like the taste of it, others see alcohol as something they do not want or need in their lives. "I don't really find any reason to drink because there are too many other things to find happiness in than alcohol," senior Richard Witzofsky said. "I don't drink very often, but when I do drink it's to get drunk." Although college is probably not every student's first encounter with alcohol, it is for many. Sophomore Brenda Goering said that the pressure to drink is not as great in college. "In high school there is more peer pressure, but in college people are more mature and they accept you for what you are," Goering said. Other students use alcohol as a stress reliever. "I think it (drinking) is of great assistance to one's college career," sophomore David Lenk said. "It's really the only escape a student has from their studies that is cheap, convenient and efficient." Seeing friends drink too much frightens some students. "As a sophomore in college, I am appalled by the amount of alcohol consumed by college students," Mike Dolan said. "It's frightening to think that some college students spend three nights of the week getting drunk." -Chris Geisert Sophomore Malea Payne and junior Karen Kaminski celebrate Payne's 21 birthday by hitting the bars.

(Page 26) Miles From Home You were stressed, bored, malnourished and out of clean underwear. What did you do? Packed up the car and went home for some rest and relaxation. Some students did not have that option. Students who were not from the tri-state area had to travel great distances to get to and from Kirksville which made it difficult for them to go home often. About 6 percent of NMSU students were from states outside of the Illinois, Iowa and Missouri region. An additional 3 percent were from different countries. So how did these students end up in Kirksville? The admissions office sent out an abundance of literature about Northeast to prospective students both in and out of the Midwest in an attempt to attract students from a variety of regions and backgrounds. Some students had family ties to Northeast. Freshman Neal Pepin, from Colorado Springs, Colo., learned about NMSU from his father. "My dad was taught by Northeast teachers and said that they were very good at what they did," Pepin said. Scholarship incentives enticed some students to attend Northeast. Sophomore Darrin Osborne, from Saginaw, Mich., was planning on attending Michigan State until Northeast offered him a President's Scholarship. "I got the scholarship, and the size is perfect with small classes," Osbourne said. "The people are friendly and it's a quality education." Sophomore Daniel Winston, from Houston, Texas, enjoyed being farther from his family. "It's nice to break away from parents, and it allows you to mature faster," Winston said.

In a "meat and potatoes" world, people who opt for veggies only are often left to use their hunting and gathering instincts to survive. Many vegetarians find that in Professional Food Management and Kirksville restaurants, the number of dishes without meat is limited. While some may say that vegetarianism is simply a trend, many students hold strong beliefs that prevent them from eating meat and other animal products. Reasons for becoming a vegetarian are very diverse. Some students are looking out for their health, while others are animal activists. Junior Barbara Halpenny quit eating meat out of respect for higher life forms. After two years as a vegetarian, the idea of eating meat began to repulse her, but health also played an important role. "I really began to feel healthier after I quit eating meat," Halpenny said. Freshman Gary Ruisinger echoed Halpenny's views. "Better safe than sorry," Ruisinger said. "I find it distasteful to eat other living things, and it's unhealthy too." Often times, omnivorous friends of vegetarians lack empathy. Sophomore Ann Eide said most of her friends tried to be considerate, but some just didn't understand. "I just wish people would understand that I have no desire to eat meat," Eide said. "It's repulsive." Elaine Joggerst, freshman, found some understanding, but also some disrespect because not everyone understood her motives. "My friends are pretty understanding, but dates are the worst!" Joggerst said. "They always think you're just being picky. Most people just don't see the purpose." Freshman Jamie Barger found PFM relatively adequate, yet saw room for improvement. "They should have more soups without meat and more fresh fruits," Barger said. PFM tries diligently to adequately feed all students, said manager Doug Schere. PFM is willing to change recipes and add new recipes recommended by students. "We try to provide a variety, with at least one hot vegetarian entree each day," Schere said. "Between the deli bar and the line, there should be a good selection." The search for a meat-free meal in Kirksville can be a long one. Most vegetarians agreed when all else failed, they could always order a meat-free pizza. -Charlotte Grider Mushrooms are one of the foods of choice for sophomore Ann Eide. Health and ethical concerns influenced Eide to quit eating meat five years ago. photo by Thom Kennedy When Professional Food Management doesn't serve vegetarian entrees, junior Barb Halpenny makes her own dinner. Many students found it necessary to resort to other types of food. Halpenny quit eating meat out of respect for higher life forms. 28 student life (Page 29) photo by Thom Kennedy Junior Debi Wolf makes a point to leave out the meat in her meals. Vegetarians made up a minority of eaters in the residence balls, yet PFM tried to incorporate vegetarian entrees on the daily menus. Sometimes a baked potato was the only item on the menu. Making a meal of the salad bar is nothing new for junior Tricia Westoff. Vegetarians often had a difficult time eating due to a lack of variety. photo by Thom Kennedy Junior Jill Harris added tofu to her grocery list when shopping to meet her body's protein requirements. "I just wish people would understand that I have no desire to eat meat, it's repulsive." -sophomore Ann Eide veggies 29 (Page 30) Last night, I bellied up to the bar, met a righteous dude and had a bitchin' time. Then we went to his crib and he asked me if I wanted to go surfin'. I said, "NOT!". Then he asked if I wanted to mash. I said, "Sure!" and we started sucking face. Before I knew it, we were doin' the nasty. It was hot and heavy. Afterwords, we bagged some Z's. In the morning, I saw his face and yacked. Realizing he was a geek, I ran all the way home. My dogs were barkin'. It was, without a doubt, the night from hell. While this story is a bit exaggerated, campus slang is not uncommon to Northeast students. In fact, it a part of student life that is also prevalent at other universities. "I went to the University of Alabama this summer and had a hard time understanding the different terminology of words," junior Greg Rideout said. Slang words vary from campus to campus. For example, the word "chillin'" at Northeast means to relax or to have a good time. The same word at the University of Alabama means to sleep or take a nap. "It's hard to understand people from other areas if you're used to one particular language," Rideout said. How did slang develop at NMSU? A large portion of the student body comes from Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Kansas. They bring their values and cultural backgrounds with them. Language barriers exist between students from the city and rural areas. Slang enables students to create a language of their own which both sides can easily understand. "Slang is language that you were brought up with as a little kid," senior James McCoy said. "It's a neighborhood language that only you and the peers you hang out with can understand." Slang is vital to man's success in communication. In order to communicate effectively, slang evolves so that people who come from different backgrounds can better understand each other. The next time you tell your roommate to chill because she is stressin' way too much and is about to have a cow about that hellish exam, you may want to change your language or she could be clueless. -Marc Carson 30 student life (Page 31) artwork by Rebecca Welge (Page 32) IMN Love The closest distance between two points is a straight line, and for some students, that line consists of miles of beaten highway and hundreds of yards of grey telephone wire. Long-distance relationships will be around, as long as two people hold a common interest and a mutual commitment to share in each other's lives. Senior Kim White was involved in a lengthy long-distance relationship that ended this semester. During the two and a half years it lasted, she would go home about every three weeks. "It's very challenging," White said. "You have to work twice as hard to make it work and then be able to cram three weeks of activity into a single weekend." Spending quality time with one's "significant other" is imperative to any relationship. One student found the balance between school and her boyfriend overwhelming. "I sacrificed my grades," senior Melinda Argo said. "Every other weekend my boyfriend would come down to visit or vice versa. I didn't do homework during those days and sometimes there just wasn't enough time during the week to get it done." Sacrifices can take many forms and for sophomore Lori Parrett, it has been peace of mind. "The hardest part is wondering what the other person is doing," Parrett said. "I go out on the weekends and I know he does the same, but you just have to believe that he feels the same way about you and then keep an open mind at all times. Senior Julie Salvia said she found it easier to have a long-distance relationship than one at school. Even though she knows of a few successful long-distance relationships, junior Jill Barbeau believes they are usually doomed from the start. "I'm totally against them," Barbeau said. "I've seen too many people lose respect for each other. This comes from not being able to talk about the problems that they personally have." Just what does it take to make a long-distance relationship work? "Work at it everyday," Parrett said. "It can work if there is trust." Kellie Fletcher Ah, the price of love! AT&T as well as many other long distance phone companies often benefit from long distance relationships. Some bills got so out of hand, students were unable to keep up with their payments each month. 32 student life (Page 33) Packing their things for the weekend, sophomores Barb Martin and Barb Kriegshauser prepare to see their boyfriends after the long ride home.

Of course you have because everyone has at least one pet peeve. "A pet peeve is someone's idiosyncrasy that gets on someone else's nerves," junior Angie Hutchins said. During the course of a day, pet peeves occur frequently. Whether it was asking stupid questions, leaving the door unlocked or the toilet seat up, pet peeves just add one more bit of stress to an already stressful lifestyle. Some unusual pet peeves include instructors that do not completely erase the chalkboard, not changing the toilet paper roll in the bathroom and not parking within the lines in the parking lot. Pet peeves can also include something a person does not like to do. Junior Christine Sherrod despises being late. Other students hate doing laundry and cleaning their rooms. "I get really impatient with people who continue to annoy me especially when they know it bugs me," senior Kim Gregg said. "It's just like something a brother or sister would do." Imagine sitting in class and the person behind you keeps hitting your chair with their foot or keeps whispering, talking and smacking their gum. "I just give them a dirty look and they get a clue," Gregg said. Students are not the only people with pet peeves. Pet peeves are universal and instructors have many of their own. "My biggest pet peeve at the moment is when students have last minute excuses," Mary Giovannini, instructor of business and accountancy said. Steven Allen, assistant professor of business and accountancy, gets annoyed when students do not use their common sense and rely on their calculators to solve problems. The next time you cringe when a teacher scrapes their fingernails across the chalkboard or their tie clashes, try not to let it bother you. Think about how crazy they get when a majority of the class fails a test, turns in assignments late or skips class and uses a weak excuse for not being there. -Amy Blanton Flipping through television channels is a pet peeve of many students. Senior Margaret Blouin annoys her roommates by monopolizing the television and constantly switching channels. photo by Thom Kennedy Friendly reminders are sometimes needed for those with short memories. Leaving the toilet seat up was one of students most mentioned pet peeves especially for most women students. 34 student life (Page 35) photo by Thom Kennedy Coming the end of the line and the roll of toilet paper runs out seems to grate on peoples nerves. Another bathroom/toilet paper pet peeve mentioned was having the roll of toilet paper on upside down. The correct way according to some students is to not have the paper against the wall. photo by Thom Kennedy When people do not want to be bothered a sign is used to let others know. Some people did not seem to read the signs and annoyed others. When in a hurry, people waiting to make a right turn on a red light seem to frustrate other drivers. photo by Thom Kennedy "I get really impatient with people who continue to annoy me especially when they know it bugs me," -senior Kim Gregg photo by Thom Kennedy (Page 36) DIFFERENT WORLDS When freshman Danielle Foster graduated from a St. Louis high school this summer, she looked forward to going away to Northeast and establishing her independence. The excitement of seeing her new room momentarily diminished when Foster, a black student, met her white roommate. "I was a little upset because I think this school should have told me this," Foster said. "It could have created problems." Shirley Schulze from admissions, pointed out that there are areas on housing contracts where students can request a minority roommate. As housing applications are received, they are matched to others with similar likes and dislikes as denoted on the applications. She said the procedure is similar to matching football or basketball players interested in living with someone who plays the same sport. "Unless they ask specifically for something like this, we try to avoid doing it," Schulze said. "We try to place everyone according to their wishes." Dobson Hall Director David Pyburn noted that most minority students prefer to live in an interracial environment. "The majority of minorities and international students (in Dobson Hall) don't even live with each other," Pyburn said. Pyburn could not remember any problems with an interracial environment, but Foster said some conflict is inevitable. "For some people, it would have been a lot harder to accept," Foster said. Foster is content with living in Ryle Hall. She decided to live with her roommate a second semester, and said they are good friends. "It was a little stiff at first, but we got to know each other and we got along fine," Foster said. For some students, interracial roommates is not and never has been an issue. Freshmen Ovetta Sampson, Julie Seeley and Lisa Lee have been living together in harmony since the beginning of the year. "It wasn't a problem," Sampson said. "I originally thought I had two white roommates, which was fine with me. I was excited to just have roommates. Seeley said, "It's actually been cool finding out about their culture." -Scott Brockelmeyer Senior Leslie Barnes and junior Stacie Reinholtz spent their time together but working on different activities. Barnes worked on studies while Reinholtz talked on the phone. photo by Thom Kennedy Freshmen roommates Ovetta Sampson, Julie Steeley and Lisa Lee enjoy each others company.

They were not your parents; they were hard instructors. Junior Joe Bambanek thought teachers were hard if they could not teach or they were unreasonably demanding. Alex Cavopol, assistant professor of physics, confirmed the students' definition of hard. The labeling of hard, he said, came from exams and the amount of homework assigned. Cavopol continued that only by doing can you learn. Nancy Lovelace, assistant professor of English, agreed. "I think the job of an educator is to challenge the students," she said. "The more that a teacher expects, the more students will do." James Edwards, associate professor of accounting, said he expects a lot from his students. "If the expectations aren't high, then (students are) not going to strive to reach that," Edwards said. Students were able to distinguish the difference between hard teachers and bad teachers. Heinz Woehlk, associate professor of English, said if he's excited about something, then he wants students to learn it. Werner Sublette, professor of economics, said his ultimate goal is to get the student interested in learning. "I believe that by being demanding and/or hard, you're going to challenge the student," Sublette said. Lovelace added, "I think we have a talented hard-working group of students that are being cheated if they're not being challenged." Another characteristic often equated with hard teachers is that they make you think. Sublette said he forces students to think. He said students not only need to know the material, they need to be able to apply it. In spite of the fact that some instructors are reputed to be hard, they still do not have trouble filling their classrooms. Sublette said most students have heard he is a hard instructor, but they still enroll in his class. -Kay Shelby Lecturing using a diagram on the chalkboard, Martin Erickson, assistant professor of math and computer science, explains a mathematical concept to his class.

Of the 2,400 tickets sold, around 400 were returned for a full refund. SAB resold about 60 of the returned tickets. Bad Company canceled their portion of the show due to an illness in the group. Damn Yankees, who took the stage single-handedly put on a one hour and 20 minute show. Rendina said the cancellation was unavoidable. "I think it was disappointing to people that Bad Company didn't make it, but it was a situation beyond anyone's control," Rendina said. Although there was initial disappointment due to the cancellation, some student comments were positive toward the Damn Yankees. "I heard that Damn Yankees actually gave a better concert in Kirksville than they did in St. Louis with Bad Company," senior Kathy Lewis said. While many students said they liked Ted Nugent's performance, junior Hilary Donaldson said she was fortunate enough to meet both Nugent and Tommy Shaw. "It was something of a lifetime and the thing that's ironic is that it happened in Kirksville," Donaldson said. "When you think about it, it's one thing if you're in a big city, but to have it happen in Kirksville?" Senior Ed Job said he did not think his ticket would have been worth the money initially. "I sold it back because I didn't want to pay $13 to see Damn Yankees and get only half of what I'd paid for," Job said. "I kind of wish I'd gone now because I heard it was pretty good." Senior Shelley Brown said after the Bad Company cancellation, she did not want to go. "The only reason I bought my ticket was to see Bad Company," Brown said.

We take what a reporter does for granted. From that stand point, her speech was interesting." -Wanye Yanda junior "I thought she was well informed and interesting.

('79) Traditions trends and trade offs Bettina Gregory Q Linda Ellerbee has called the Washington press corps the "Boys' Club." Have you ever encountered anything like that? A The "Boys' Club"?! Let me say that I have seen a great deal of progress. This is an industry where women are making great strides. There are more women anchoring, there are more women on the air. Those are the visible women. But what you don't see is the huge numbers of producers, editors, researchers. The point is that it is true the networks have made provision for women to get into the more physical slots and I've been on the forefront of seeing women, the first women, into the major Washington beats like the White House, like the Pentagon, like the State Department, that had previously been the bastions of male correspondents. I don't want to say that it's easy for women to get the tough assignments, I don't want to say that it's easy to get the best stories if you're lucky enough to get the assignment. But there has been enormous progress made. It's one of those things that's evolving. How has the success of CNN changed your job? Well, it hasn't changed my job. Only in that now we do much more live. All the networks do much more live coverage. What happens is that when there is a crisis we do many more special reports. That is obviously a direct result of competition from CNN, which has sort of like 'round the clock reports and if you just look at the coverage during this last month we've been doing special reports almost every day which probably we would not have done had we not had to compete against a news service which is on twenty-four hours a day. Do you have a favorite assignment? Well, I actually liked the royal wedding. Could you describe your educational background? First of all I do not hold myself up to be an educational model for anyone seeking to be in the news business. I didn't plan it. In this day and age I am a very, very strong defender of liberal arts education. I would have been an English major, but you see I ran away from college. I started at Smith College, I ran away because at that time ... I wanted very much to be in the theater. So I went to London and I went into a professional acting school. Following that, I worked for several years in reperatory theater. I got married the first time and I moved with my husband, who was Greek, to Greece. There was a wonderful college in Greece, which is now known as the American College of Greece. I ended up putting myself through school and I did a double major in English and psychology. They did not have a journalism or communications department. But one of the things that's very important to emphasize to anybody contemplating a career in journalism is right now it's very hard to get into this business without a degree in it. The point is that reporting is becoming increasingly specialized so that a background in economics, in political science, in pre-med, in science is extremely useful for anyone contemplating journalism. But if you want to be in the news business, the most important thing is to be able to write. You've got to have the basic skill. Why did you put yourself on a lecture tour? I spend my life talking into the eye of the camera. There is not a human reaction. It is very important for those of us, in particular in Washington, to try to get out and talk to some real people.

Julie Christopher freshman "I thought they were really entertaining. They seemed to relate well with their joking between songs." Michelle Arnold senior "It was awesome.

Jeff Collier freshman 44 lyceum (Page 45) Profile Group: River City Ramblers From: St. Louis What they are: A dixieland band which plays the riverboat music for the 1920s. When they got started: 1986 Take a ride down the river River City Ramblers Baldwin Auditorium echoed with memories from the past as the River City Ramblers continued the 1990-91 Lyceum series on Thursday, Sept. 20. The St. Louis-based sextet incorporated their brand of "pop dixie" with good old fashioned wit to the delight of a large crowd. Most of the songs they played reflected the type of music heard 70 years ago on old showboats that ran up and down the Mississippi River. The Ramblers opened the show with their rendition of "The Eyes of Texas", better known as "I've Been Working on the Railroad", and jumped into several other dixie land favorites like "Sweet Georgia Brown", "St. Louis Blues" and "Waitin for the Robert E. Lee". The Ramblers concert was the first time many students had the opportunity to hear this type of music in a live performance. "I have not heard any of that type of music before," junior Karl Baker said. "I thought they were very talented." The group evolved from a mutual desire to make this type of music available to all audiences. "The only reason we are together is to bring river boat music to people all over who might not have a chance to see it otherwise," Bob Ceccarini, trumpet player and Ramblers leader, said. An example of the Ramblers combining music and wit came from David "Red" Lehr, saxophone player, halfway into the second set. While playing his solo, Lehr walked off stage, to the front row and began serenading a female audience member with his rendition of "Tiger Eyes". Lehr is considered one of the world's finest jazz saxophone players. He has served as a featured soloist at the 1975 National Tuba Symposium and currently tours internationally. Many students appreciated the music because it gave them the opportunity to see a bit of Missouri history and learn more about their heritage. "I really liked them," sophomore Gina Kozup said. "It reminded me of some of the bands my family paid good money to see in Silver Dollar City." The members of The River City Ramblers are diverse musicians who hold many other jobs. Ceccarini has been the principal trumpet player with the St. Louis Municipal Opera Orchestra. He has toured with the international company of "A Chorus Line". Banjo player John Becker is a former music consultant with NBC television affiliate KSDK in St. Louis. He retired in order to devote all his time to performing with the Ramblers. Piano player Pat Joyce is a regular at the Mid-America Jazz Festival which is held annually in St. Louis. She devotes 40 to 50 hours per week for performances. Drummer Joe Buerger was a guest artist at the National Association of Jazz Educators convention and has performed with the St. Louis Philharmonic. He is also a contributing columnist to several music magazines and director of a college band. Clarinetist Scott Alberici has performed at many jazz festivals and has been compared to a young Benny Goodman. The River City Ramblers have been together for four years and play about 25 concerts a year at various schools and community events in Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa. The Ramblers taped a one hour special in October for the Public Broadcasting System in St. Louis. Next year, they are planning on recording an album. The group will tour Germany and Japan to spread the word of dixie to other parts of the world.

The opera won praise from many of the audience members. What we thought "I thought it was excellent. It doesn't seem to be very cultural around here, it (the lyceum series) helps give diversity to the campus."-Neal Banerjee freshman "It was really interesting to have exposure to a different culture at Northeast.

It gives me a chance to get the culture of the opera at the right price."-Chris Geisert junior "I thought the opera was really good. It was a little long, but I enjoyed it."-Nicole Artz freshman 46 lyceum (Page 47) Profile Group: Kansas City Lyric Opera From: Kansas City, Missouri What they are: A group that performs traditional operas in English for American audiences. When they started: The opera Elixir of Love was first performed in 1832. Notions for love potions K.C. Lyric Opera The Kansas City Lyric Opera performed "The Elixir of Love" as a part of the NMSU Lyceum Series fall season on Thursday, Oct. 11. The 8 p.m. performance at Baldwin Hall Auditorium drew a large audience of both students and faculty. The opera, written by Italian playwright Gaetano Donzetti in the span of only two weeks, was written in response to a challenge by the impression of the Canobbiana, a famous Milan opera house. Donzetti collaborated with librettist Felice Romani in an adaptation of an often-told tale that became the Elixir of Love. Donzetti's tale takes place in a small Italian village in the 18th century. The storyline revolves around the sale and use of a so-called "Elixir of Love," sold by the traveling quack, Dr. Dulcamara, played by baritone Dan Sullivan. This magical potion, which is really nothing but wine, is bought by the young peasant Nemorino, played by tenor John Daniecki, who hopes to win the love of the wealthy young landowner Adina. Nemorino's plans are foiled when Sgt. Belcore (David Small) asks for Adina's hand in marriage. The young Adina, played by Sharon Daniels, at first declines Belcore's advances, then complies when a shy Nemorino pays her no attention. In a fit of irrationality, Nemorino joins the army in order to buy a second dosage of Dr. Dulcamara's potion to win Adina's love. Donzetti's opera does, however, have a happy ending. Adina and Nemorino soon discover their love for each other and she buys back his army contract from Sgt. Belcore. The unfortunate Belcore is called away from the village, and Dr. Dulcamara sells his entire stock of love potion to the villagers. The Lyric Opera of Kansas City has performed famous operas in English for many years. The Company performs exclusively in English, using professional American artists, and is ranked among the best opera companies in the United States. "The Lyric Opera has always given good performances, and since they are in English, audiences do not have to be familiar with the plot to enjoy the operas," said Clay Dawson, associate professor of fine arts. The Lyric's English performances allow for a larger, more diverse audience to enjoy and understand many of the famous operas of the 18th and 19th century. The Elixir of Love is a mixture of comic situations and characters with the tenderest and most human of stories and circumstances. Sophomore Doyle Kelsey found that English performances are much more interesting than operas performed in their native languages. "Italian is a beautiful language," Kelsey said. "But it's a lot more enjoyable to listen to an opera where you can understand the plot without having to read the summary in the program." The Lyric Opera presents four performances of five different operas each year. The Lyric Opera has performed regularly as a part of the Lyceum Series at NMSU. During the 1989-90 season, the Lyric performed Daughter of the Regiment, which included several artists seen in The Elixir of Love. One such actress is Sharon Daniels. Daniels played the starring role of Adina. She has been performing principals roles with the Lyric Opera for 13 years. She has worked with the San Francisco Opera, New York City Opera, Kennedy Center and the Broadway revival of "The Most Happy Fella". Daniels' co-star, David Small, plays Belcore in the opera. He has performed parts in "La Boehme", "The Tales of Hoffman" and the "Yeoman of the Guard". "The Elixir of Love" was brought to the Lyceum Series with financial assistance from the Missouri Arts Council.

The string ensemble played in Baldwin Hall Auditorium on Oct. 16 for approximately 500 people. The program opened with Beethoven's Quartet in A Minor Op. 18 No. 5 and Stravinsky's Concerto for String Quartet. Audience members responded warmly to the opening performance and enthusiastically returned after intermission to listen to Brahm's Quartet in A Minor Op. 51 No. 2. The quartet put thought and consideration into each of the pieces they selected. "We chose this music because Beethoven is a wonderful artist," first-violinist Wanda Becker said. "For a string quartet it is very good material for innovation." Some audience members believed the music selections were enjoyable. "It was a very enjoyable experience," James Harmon, professor of fine arts, said. "I love all types of music, but small groups are often more enjoyable than larger performance groups." Senior Kurt Haas, member of the Lyceum Committee, also liked the quartet's music. "It was very high quality, an eclectic performance," Haas said. Quartet Seraphin consists of Wanda Becker, first violinist; Sara Pandolfi, violinist; Rose Martin, second violinist; and Mary Lou Gotman, cellist. The musicians said they found it difficult to play in Baldwin Hall Auditorium. "It is frightening and hard to play in a strange place," Gotman said. "But we make the best out of our situation." Quartet Seraphin proved they practiced Becker's words as poor acoustics did not hinder an innovative performance. "We had difficulty with the acoustics," Becker said. But the audience was very friendly." Despite the musicians' positive attitude about playing in Baldwin Auditorium, some NMSU faculty said they thought the quartet would have performed better under different circumstances. "It was a good performance, but I think they would've been better suited to a smaller hall," said William Fitzsimmons, professor of fine arts. The poor acoustics left some students with a weak impression of the quartet. "I thought for a string quartet it was too timid," sophomore Mary White said. "They would've improved the presentation if they'd been more lively." Quartet Seraphin, which was formed in 1983, performs classical music for mainly Midwest audiences. Since 1987 the quartet has performed a concert series in St. Louis, and will often perform at Midwest universities. All members of the quartet have extensive music training. Each has worked with groups such as the Winnipeg Symphony, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and the Richmond Symphony Orchestra. They have also made several individual accomplishments. Becker has worked with the Tibor Varga Chamber Orchestra in Germany, served as the principal violinist of the American Kantorei and was a recitalist on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Pandolfi has worked with the Opera Theatre of St. Louis, the American Katorei and has performed sixteen years with the Rarely Performed Music Ensemble. Martin has studied Shinichi Suzuki in Japan and serves as coordinator of the Suzuki program at the St. Louis Conservatory and School for the Arts. Gotman teaches cello and conducts the String Training Orchestra at the St. Louis Conservatory and School for the Arts. October 16, 1990 quartet seraphin 49 (Page 50) LYCEUM photo by Thom Kennedy Tapping their way across the stage in Baldwin Auditorium, Austin on Tap received mixed reviews. Some students thought the performance was monotonous and boring. What we thought "I thought it was a neat idea to bring tap dancers to NMSU, but they didn't have any facial expression that's why I didn't like it. I would have enjoyed it more if it was one style."-Amy Bargfrede freshman "It wasn't as interesting as it should have been to be in the lyceum series. They didn't seem to be very professional."-George Sundling sophomore "I think the idea of bringing another type of dance besides ballet is good, but I don't think Austin on Tap was the right group. They could dance, but they didn't know how to entertain."-Michelle Arnold senior "It was alright, it wasn't anything I'd see again. It got monotonous and I thought they could have put a lot of variation into it."-Renee Bleske freshman 50 lyceum (Page 51) Profile Group: Austin on Tap From: Austin, Texas What they are: A group of six women dedicated to preserving tap as an art form. When they began: 1982. Tap with a twist Austin on Tap The revival of tap dance made its way to Baldwin Hall Auditorium Oct. 29 as Austin on Tap performed to a large Lyceum Series audience. The dance troupe consists of six full-time dancers including the founder and choreographer of the troupe Debra Bray. The group tours the United States eight months out of each year. The dancers take traditional tap and add costumes and props that make their performances more like a smaller version of the Broadway musicals. The opening number of their Northeast performance was performed in jeans and the finale was danced to a western beat with cowboy hats and handkerchiefs. During their performance the troupe tapped to such favorites as "I Got Rhythm", "Bluesville" and "Tea for Two". They ended their performance with a tribute to Sammy Davis Jr. featuring his classic tap performance "Mr. Bojangles". Many students thought the performance was too long and monotonous. "I hated it because I was expecting a more professional group with more innovative moves and I just wasn't impressed," senior Cheri Laaker said. "I had seen them with the Hubbard Street Dancers a year ago and they were good then. They were like a side bar so when they were the leading act here, I expected them to be really good." The troupe was founded in 1982 by Bray. It started out as a group of part-time dancers. They performed for one entire summer at the old music hall in Gruene, Texas. Since then, they have gone on to perform across the United States from Washington, D. C. to Honlulu, Hawaii. Although traditional tap techniques are what most audiences expect to see from Austin on Tap, most are surprised to see that the dancers take the stage wearing high heels or tennis shoes with taps attached. In many of the cities that the dancers perform in, they conduct workshops to teach dance to people of all ages. The group conducts the workshops to spread the art of tap dancing and to let the public know that it is still in existence and is changing with the times as other forms of dance do. During the eight months the troupe travels, they endure many performances. "We have 60 performances each year on the road but, we also perform at least 40 shows in Austin." Bray said. While all the travel appears to be glamorous and exciting, members of the troupe admit it is not all fun and games. "One definite con to traveling would be the fact that our van broke down today on the way here," Bray said. "I guess you could just say that unexpected things like that make our performances on the road a little more difficult. Some pros of touring would be meeting so many different people along with forming closer friendships with the other dancers. The companionship is great." Because they are on the road so much, they have time to think about setting goals as a dance troupe. "Our short-term goal is to be performing the "Nutcracker" on tap this summer. Our long-term goal in general is to continue improving our technique." Bray received her bachelor's and master's degrees from West Texas State University. While there, she taught and choreographed several musicals. Troupe member Stephanie Dannelley studied dance at Southwest Texas State and was on a nationally ranked gymnastics team. Member Leesa Speck owned and operated her own dance studio. Donna Winters was a member of the Fort Wayne Jazz and Tap Company and has made several television commercials. Marcy Yardas began her professional career as a member of the Delia Stewart Jazz Company.

The symphony's performance is one of the highlights of the Lyceum season and was traditionally well attended. What we thought "I really like that kind of music, and I think my favorite part was when they played selections from the "Nutcracker"-Ellen Wood freshman "I always like going to I the St. Louis Symphony because I think it's neat to listen to my oboe teacher who plays in the symphony." -Cathy Dick junior "Probably my favorite thing about the whole symphony was the performance of "The Nutcracker". I thought the director was a good showman." -Megan Farley freshman "The whole thing was really great. The director gave a great performance. The thing that I like the most was when they did an encore. It was very memorable."-Heather Kemp freshman 52 lyceum (Page 53) Profile Group: St. Louis Symphony Orchestra From: St. Louis Special to Northeast: Made their 26th appearance. When they got started: 1879. Play it again St. Louis Symphony Northeast students welcomed the Grammy Award-winning St. Louis Symphony to campus on Dec. 12, marking the 26th time the group performed in Baldwin Hall Auditorium. The sold-out crowd of students, faculty and Kirksville residents anticipated a spectacular performance by the famous musical group. "I've seen the St. Louis Symphony before, and they always seem to present it well, but this time I was even more impressed." freshman Stephanie Smith said. "The music was good, but my favorite piece was the "Russian Overture" Many students make an extra effort each year to work their schedule around the symphony's performance. "I came to hear them last year," senior Kim Woerner said. "I try to hear them every year ... I enjoy the symphony and listening to music." The group played three classical pieces, conducted by Associate Conductor David Loebel. The performance was highlighted by Tchaikovsky's "Suite from the Nutcracker," a holiday favorite of both the audience and the Symphony. "The Nutcracker Suite" was first performed on March 19, 1892 in St. Petersburg, Russia with the composer conducting the piece. It was first performed by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra on February 3 and 4, 1911. "I thought the whole symphony was good, but my favorite part was" "The Nutcracker," junior Hilary Donaldson said. "I like it because of the Christmas music in it. The only thing that bothered me was the director. I thought he was too flamboyant and showy." Several other works were also included in the program. Faure's Suite from Pelleas and Melisande were written in slightly less than a month's time. Faure's work was premiered on June 21, 1898 at the Prince of Whales Theater in London. The symphony ended the evening with Mendelsshon's Symphony No. 5 in D major. Completed in 1830, the symphony, otherwise known as "Reformation", was first performed in Berlin on November 15, 1832. Some audience members were impressed with the emotion and intensity of "Suite from Pelleas and Melisande" and "Symphony No. 5 in D Major". William Fitzsimmons, professor of fine arts, said he enjoyed Faure's music, which he said was the best piece performed. The symphony was conducted this year by Associate Conductor David Loebel. He is music director of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra and leads several educational and regional performances. He first directed the symphony in the spring of 1989, performing works such as those produced by composers as part of the American Symphony Orchestra League's New Project. He also conducted several of the group's regional and special concerts and was assisting conductor for its tour of the eastern United States, Korea and Japan. Recognized as one of the best musical ensembles in the nation, the group is respected by both critics and audiences. After their sold-out performances at Carnegie Hall in January 1990, the New York Daily News printed that the symphony, "knows no superior in the country -- perhaps the world." The symphony took part in a three-week tour of the Far East in February 1990 under the direction of Conductor Leonard Slatkin. The symphony is celebrating its 111th season this year, making it the oldest in the nation. "I loved it," freshman Anna Schmerber said. "Especially the Nutcracker. Since there's no snow, it makes it feel like Christmas." December 12, 1990 st. louis symphony orchestra 53 (Page 54) LYCEUM photo by Lawrence C.

I've read the play and liked that they didn't cut any of the story out."- Jeremy Taylor freshman "I thought the show exemplified the tension between individuals and races and common life.

Production leaves message Master Harold The Asolo Theatre Company presented "Master Harold . . . and the Boys" to a crowded house in Baldwin Auditorium on Jan. 16 as part of the Lyceum Series. Asolo on tour is the main stage touring company of the Asolo Center for the Performing Arts located in Sarasota, Florida. Their presentation of "Master Harold . . . and the Boys" was the first stop to 28 cities in 14 states. "Master Harold . . . and the Boys" is a one-act play set in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The play takes place in St. George's Park Tea Room in the 1950s. The play centers around three main characters, Sam and Willy, two black men who work in the tea room and a young white boy who is the restaurant owner's son. The boy's name is Harold, or Hally, as he is affectionately nicknamed by Sam. Sam often steps in to take care of Harold when his alcoholic, physically disabled father cannot. Hally is distraught to learn that his father is returning from the hospital. As a result, Hally vents his anger toward Sam and Willy since he is not brave enough to tell his father how he really feels. In a wave of frustration and anger, Hally demands that Sam and Willy title him Master Harold, succumbing to the pressures of an unhappy family and a segregated society in which whites dominate. Sam informs Willy they can never go back home if he is forced to call him Master Harold. In the end, Hally decides to be called Master Harold and refuses Sam's friendship, even though he is the one person who truly cared about him. Jamie Brown served as guest director for the play. He has directed such works as "Eleemosynary" by Lee Blessing, and "The Cocktail Hour" by A. R. Gurney. Brown was recently recognized for his work at the Dock Street Theater in initiating performance for the hearing impaired. He is originally from Cleveland, Ohio, and did his early professional work at the Cleveland Play House. Jack Boslet played Hally. He recently graduated from the Florida State University/Asolo Conservatory in Sarasota, Florida, with a Master of Fine Arts in acting. Boslet recently appeared in "La Cage Aux Follies" at the Pittsburgh Playhouse. His film and television credits include "Dominick and Eugene" and "Command in Hell". Daryl Edwards played Sam. Edwards appeared in "A Perfect Diamond" in New York's Apple Corps Theatre. He also appeared in stage versions of "Of Mice and Men," "Ft. Apache," "The Bronx," and "Nothing Sacred." Willy was played by Todd Anthony-Jackson. He recently appeared in "Batting on the Dust Commander" at Company One in Hartford. He was cast in several Shakespeare productions including "As You Like It," "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Macbeth". He also had a stint in soap operas as Dooley Johnson on ABC's "Loving". Many students and faculty enjoyed the play because it covered a controversial topic unlike many of the other Lyceum Series events. One student appreciated the play because it dealt with an issue that is prominent in today's culture. "It was a powerful and potent performance which showed us the racial difficulties in South Africa," freshman Tara Kintz said. This particular production of "Master Harold . . . and the Boys" is part of a 10 and a half week tour that brings the Asolo Theatre Company to 28 cities in 14 states including Northeast Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia, New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Vermont, Wisconsin and Pennsyvania. The group then returned to their theatre in Sarasota, Florida.

The symphony played a two-hour concert for the Baldwin Auditorium audience. What we thought "I thought they were good, but not as good as the St. Louis Symphony. They did not play well known pieces, so I couldn't judge how good they were. "-Scott Lewis freshman "I really enjoyed the 17-year-old violinist- he was spectacular. The show itself seemed kind of long. Compared to the St. Louis Symphony, I did not like the Kansas City Symphony as well." "It was nice. I especially liked the guest violinist. I was very impressed by his performance. " -Aimee Grow freshman "The kid with the violin was excellent. I like classical music but I don't like to watch it too much. It put me to sleep- it was really relaxing. " -Stephanie Smith freshman 56 lyceum (Page 57) Profile Group: Kansas City Symphony From: Kansas City, Missouri Special to Northeast: The first piece of the performance was a world premiere by Hoag, "Cloud Tango." When they got started: 1983 Premieres prodigies & pieces K. C. Symphony Kirksville was the sight of a world premiere Jan. 31, as the Kansas City Symphony performed to a sold out crowd in Baldwin Hall Auditorium. The first piece performed by the symphony was listed in the program as "World Premiere." Before the piece began, Music Director and Conductor William McGlaughlin explained to the audience why the composer, Hoag, chose the title "Cloud Tango" for his piece. "This piece has an interesting shape," McGlaughlin said. "It has slow, murky instruments and all of a sudden, it's as if you see the clouds roll by." Following the piece, the composer took the stage to show his happiness over the performance of his piece. The symphony not only had a world premiere composition, but a special guest performer as well. Violinist Corey Cervosek was featured in the symphony's second selection, "Violin Concerto in D Major," which holds an interesting history. In March of 1878, Tchaikovsky was ending a relationship that almost killed him after he was separated from his wife. He later suffered a nervous collapse and the doctor suggested he stay away from his wife forever. In order to speed his healing process, he began writing. The result was two of his most notable works, the "Fourth Symphony" and his violin concerto. He took a mere 11 days to complete the initial sketches of the concerto and completed the score in another two weeks. Once the concerto was completed, Tchaikovsky dedicated his work to Leopold Auer, a famous Hungarian violinist and teacher. He asked Auer to perform the piece at its premiere and Auer refused. His refusal to perform it delayed the premier for two years. Critics consider the piece one of Tchaikovsky's freshest works because it is filled with an appealing melody. The work accurately reflects how it allowed Tchaikovsky to escape his emotional problems. Cervosek, a 17-year-old native Canadian, has had an extensive musical career in a short amount of time. At six years old, he began violin studies at the Canadian Royal Conservatory of Music. He went on to become the youngest graduate in the history of the conservatory at the age of 12. At 15 years old, he had earned a Bachelor of Science degree in music and mathematics from the University of Indiana. The next year, while most people his age were working toward a driver's license, Cervosek received his masters degrees in music and mathematics. He is now a few months away from completing his doctorate in music with a minor in mathematics. In the spring of 1989, Cervosek surprised the symphony with his musical maturity and his ability to behave like a typical teenager. Critics have described him as "assured," "astonishing" and "magnificent." "I thought most of their music jumped," freshman Mark Ryan said. "They were not as smooth as the St. Louis Symphony, it was more of a modern style. The 17-year-old played for about 50 minutes and was awesome. He was the highlight of the show." The symphony ended the evening with "Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major" by Prokofiev. He gathered material for his symphony during several years, but wrote the entire score in the summer of 1944. Within a month, the piece was introduced in Moscow by Prokofiev himself. "I liked it, but did not think they were as together as the St. Louis Symphony," sophomore Laurel Reed said. "I could have left after the 17-year-old and would have been better impressed. The second half was slower and not as impressionable." In its ninth season, the symphony has emerged as a true orchestral success story. When McGlaughlin was appointed music director, the symphony began an era of artistic growth and was once again gaining critical and audience acclaims.

Raspberry's speech coincided with the university's Communication Week and Black History Month. What we thought "He is very intelligent. He obviously is aware of what is going on in the world. I thought he was very diplomatic in answering the questions." George Waddle "I think that he made a I lot of good points that society doesn't think about because he is close to the issue being in Washington, D.C. I liked what he said about education."Becki Dunger "I was disappointed that he didn't talk about Comm Week. He completely ignored Comm Week, when communication majors had to attend."Kim Seidel sophomore "I agreed with a lot of things he said about the state of race relations in this country. He had a few unorthodox views, which he wasn't afraid to express."Dave Polk sophomore 58 lyceum (Page 59) Profile Speaker: William Raspberry From: Washington, D. C. Occupation: nationally syndicated journalist with a column that runs in 175 newspapers When he started: summer job as a sports writer while he was a college student Journalist reasons race William Raspberry Communication Week brought a nationally syndicated columnist to the Lyceum Series. William Rasberry spoke to a sparse crowd in Baldwin Hall on Feb. 20. The presentation was held during Black History Month and Rasberry used the opportunity to speak about Black issues. "I thought it was a great attempt to combine Black History Month, Communication Week and the Lyceum Series, but I don't know how well it related to Communication Week," sophomore Sally Cornelison said. Raspberry started his speech with a joke. "I can't impart much on black history in one night of non-credit," Raspberry said. "Look at how long we've been studying white history and what do we know?" The focus of Raspberry's speech was explained in its title "Current Day Topics". In it, he discussed racial diversities, especially those of blacks and whites. He said that when black students fail to feel socially accepted in a college setting, militancy begins to develop. This militancy places barriers between blacks and those outside their race. "We all need love, friends and acceptance, but feel it's demeaning to ask for it because of the possibility of being told 'no'," Raspberry said. Later, Raspberry related the campus protests of the 1960s to those of black students against white racism today. "Each group justifies itself and its pursuit of power," Raspberry said. "It's a socio-ethnic battle of group vs. group where there is personal and group anxiety but no one can talk about it." Raspberry said he thinks African Americans have found ways to use racism to their favor. They have learned that proving discrimination is a way of gaining concessions. If a black organization falls prey to inequities due to racial unfairness, he said, materialistic requests are granted as compensation. This is a never ending cycle of the races stepping on each other's toes, he added. Raspberry ended his speech by explaining that Black History Month is just as much for whites as it is for blacks. "Decent people must remove the barriers," he said. "We can either live together as brothers and sisters or perish together as fools." Following his speech, Raspberry took questions from the audience. Students asked questions ranging from the war to protests about education. "Although the auditorium was not packed, there was a good question session and the people who were there seemed extremely interested," Neil Raison, instructor of communication said. One student asked, "Will the whites that are here tonight be like their ancestors?" The student then stated that he agreed with his father who thought that before blacks and whites were allowed to integrate, blacks should have been more educated and allowed to increase their wealth. Raspberry said he was a big desegregationalist and a moderate intergrationalist. He said that assignment of children to schools based on color made no sense. He thinks it is ridiculous to bus a black child across town for the sole purpose of integration. Raspberry's column appears in 175 newspapers. He addresses current ideas and proposals for answers to social issues. He has had the opportunity to cover such news events as the Watts riots in 1965. This assignment brought him national recognition as the Capital Press Club's Journalist of the Year award. Raspberry received a Citation of Merit of Journalism from Lincoln University for distinction in improving human relations. He has received several Front Page Awards from the Washington/Baltimore Newspaper Guild.

At surface level we gained a new president. Underneath, he supported student views by hosting weekly student luncheons. While the new library was phased in, two academic divisions were phased out. Besides declaring a major, students were given the opportunity to declare an academic minor. Last year Northeast skimmed students bank accounts with a 15 percent tuition increase, this year they dove deeper into their pockets for another 12 percent. Beneath the surface, the money will be allocated to hall improvements, student wages and minority services. We took it all... at surface level. 60 academics (Page 61) Keeping up with current news, sophomore Chad Dorrance reads a newspaper in the new addition of Pickler Library.

ACADEMICS photo by Kristine Werner academics 61 (Page 62) The grand FINALE The 1990 commencement ceremonies offered several twists for graduating seniors and guests. For the first time in 35 years the May ceremony was moved indoors due to rain, while controversy surrounded the administration's choice for commencement speaker. The choice of Missouri General Attorney General William Webster as the May commencement speaker sparked protest among students. Webster is known as one who "gets things done", and was named to the Ten Most Feared Attorney Generals list in 1988. However, his extreme stand on abortion and his Supreme Court case, Missouri vs. Reproductive Health Services of St. Louis, was criticized. Senior Michael Stark, in his Index editorial column, stated that Webster's strong pro-life stance should not be ignored, and called for students to participate in a silent demonstration to show their disapproval of Webster's stand. The students demonstrated their protest by carrying coat hangers, and by wearing purple, which is the color of the Women's Suffrage Movement and Pro-Choice Movement. The protest was heard as Webster's address was greeted with a mixture of applause and boos. Although the August commencement ceremony was not as controversial as the May, the ceremony was special for two reasons. The ceremony was the first for President Russell Warren. Former president Charles McClain attended for the first time in more than 20 years as a guest speaker. After commencement the University held a ceremony renaming the administration/Humanities Building in McClain's honor. "This may be one of the most difficult days of my life," McClain said during his speech at the dedication ceremony. "To be a recipient of this honor is awesome." McClain will be recognized by those who knew him without the aid of a building named after him, but as new students enter this university, McClain Hall will serve as an introduction to the man who brought value-added to Northeast. -Lynne Brashears 62 academics (Page 63) say what?

Soccer and football players help move boxes and piles of suitcases. Clothes and furniture were scattered along the sidewalks next to parked cars. What looked like a relief sight after the predicted earthquake was only the beginning of Freshman Week. Some students were sad to say their goodbyes while others were glad to have some freedom. "I was ready to get away from authority and their rules," freshman Mark Ryan said. Once the students were settled in, they began their week of required classes. The classes were designed to help students adjust to college life and classes. "I liked the discipline day when I got to meet the people I will be spending a lot of time with," freshman Renee Devereux said. Not every student liked the classes. Some said they were a waste of time. They thought the homework was ridiculous and the week was too long. Students got a break from their homework during some of the relaxed activities after classes. A picnic at Red Barn Park was scheduled and two movies were shown. Even so, students still had time to explore the town and campus. "I got to know the campus which was beneficial," Devereux said. Freshmen got their first taste of value-added when they spent one whole day taking assessment tests. "What a waste of time and money," freshman Cristy Shaw said. "I wanted to be out in the sun." Playfair was one activity that many found fun and worthwhile. It gave them a chance to get to know their classmates through a series of crazy stunts and games. This year students did not have as many classmates to learn because the class is 300 students down from last year. Despite rumors that students opted for different schools, admissions officials said there were reasons for the smaller class. The University wanted to make the selection standards tougher. 64 academics (Page 65) photo by Thom Kennedy Taping footage for next year's Freshman Week video, students with an interest in media learn the basics of video production and editing.

This phrase can be heard often on Fridays, warm weather and the day before breaks but, those are not the only reasons students skip class. Students skip class to catch up on sleep, study for exams, socialize with friends or just because they too lazy to go. Most think they have a legitimate reason for skipping. Freshman Ralph Kendrick said he always has a reason for missing his classes. "I miss class when I'm going home and my ride leaves at the same time I have class, or when I need extra time to study," Kendrick said. Skipping is often noticed by instructors and many find ways to ensure their students will not skip class. Nancy Lovelace, assistant professor of English, is one such instructor. She gives frequent pop quizzes and reduces grades for continued absences. "I think this practice is fair," Lovelace said. "I warn my students about my rules and I stick to them." Barry Poyner, assistant professor of Speech Communication, was forced to adopt an attendance policy because so many students were skipping. The policy required students to explain to the class the reason for their absence and to ask for their classmates' forgiveness. "I regret having to adopt this policy," Poyner said. "It disturbs me when students take this alternative, especially when group work is involved, and I have to hear complaints from other students about a lack of attendance." Sophomore Missy Bushell disagrees with instructors who believe attendance policies are necessary. "I'm paying for the class, and the instructor gets paid regardless of whether I'm in class," Bushell said. "And, if I can do the work outside of class, I shouldn't be penalized for being absent. It's my choice." Lovelace argues that going to class is crucial to a student's understanding of the material. "Coming to class is incredibly important," Lovelace said. "A student can't sit at home and read a book and have the same understanding as he would if he came to class." - Stephanie Patton 66 academics (Page 67) photo by Thom Kennedy Watching soap operas is one reason students who could not arrange their schedules around them skipped class. Days of Our Lives was one of the most popular among students. photo by Thom Kennedy At this point, sleeping is more important than attending class for freshman Adrienne Rose. Taking time to catch up on sleep was one of the most common excuses for avoiding classes. Usually skipping class for sleep was not done on purpose - sometimes you just can not hear that alarm clock ringing in the morning. say what? Common excuses for missing class.

For senior Heidi Miller, this is about as late as she sleeps on any day of the week. Like most students, she has a busy schedule but, hers is worse because she also works full-time. Miller has attended Northeast for four and a half years and has paid most of her expenses by working. In the beginning, she had an athletic and an academic scholarship. She also got a job as a secretary on campus to help out with spending money. But, when she quit swimming, her remaining scholarship and part-time job were not enough to pay the bills. Her parents could not help. "I couldn't get a loan because my parents still claim me as a dependent, and the banks up in Omaha require a co-signer," Miller said. "They (my parents) would not co-sign for me." Working full-time has been an education in itself for most students in that situation. "I think that working while you go to school gives you a basis of responsibility that you're going to carry for the rest of your life," Miller said. "People who start working generally don't go back to school." Some working students are unlike Miller because choose to work for extra spending money. Senior John Behn works about 35 hours a week just to have extra money. "I like my job because I like to work," Behn said. Despite the long hours, especially on weekends, Behn said he had little trouble balancing school and work. "There's enough time for it all," Behn said. "I just do it while I'm not working." Walter Ryle, professor of social science, said working students sometimes budget their time better than those who do not work. "When students have more time on their hands, they might need to learn to budget their time better," Ryle said. He thinks instructors are usually sympathetic toward students who have jobs. "I would like to think there is a need for understanding when there are conflicts with things like scheduling," Ryle said. -- Chris Crawford 68 (Page 69) photo by Thom Kennedy photo by Thom Kennedy Graduate student Tammy Billerbeck works at the Ice House, while taking classes as well.

The history behind NEMO News, the campus' only television news show, is a little mysterious. In fact, no one can really say for sure when it actually began airing. Johnny Langley, assistant professor of communication, discovered tapes of old NEMO News broadcasts and decided to revive the show last December, using students in his advanced television class to fill many of the nearly 20 staff spots. When it all began was not the only mystery about NEMO News; sometimes finding the broadcast on TV was a mystery in itself. "NEMO news is on every other Thursday at six -- unless it's not," Langley said. The bi-weekly campus news show aired on cable Channel 2 and was viewed not only by students, but by Kirksville residents who have cable. Along with all the latest in hard-hitting campus news and sports, NEMO News offered a variety of feature segments including a regular movie review segment known as "Trapped in a VCR." Each broadcast, junior Mitchell Cross and his cast of thousands review a rental movie. From the reviews of "Easy Rider" to "Heathers," the boys trapped in the VCR did their best to live up to their motto: "If it costs more than a dollar, it's not worth watching." "It's kind of a fun way to see the news," senior Cheri Laaker, producer, said. "It's another medium for the campus." Besides having a lot of fun, the news staff was given the opportunity to get on-the-job experience. "I don't plan on having a career as a news anchor, but it can't hurt having something like that on your resume," senior Brian De Hass, anchor, said. The program also helped students realize the importance of deadlines and the basics of broadcast reporting. All the stories are written, filmed and edited by the students. But above all, the show tried to show the fun in everything. The staff took a very relaxed attitude toward their work, and they see NEMO News as unique and, at times, off the wall. Langley said, "If you don't have fun watching us, we're not doing our job." 70 academics (Page 71) photo by Thom Kennedy photo by Thom Kennedy Working the camera for the bi-weekly broadcast, seniors Susan Brown and Beth Kramer get hands on experience. Behind the scenes, work was as important as being in front of the camera. Students enrolled in television class work behind the scenes to make the broadcasts run smoothly. In the control booth, students could monitor the actions of the anchors and adjust the camera work from the control panel. Preparing their copy before going on the air, anchorman Brian DeHass and sports anchorwoman Kathy Lewis take a breather before the final taping. photo by Thom Kennedy say what?

The gallery was moved from the second floor of Baldwin Hall after an administrative decision to convert the former study hall to art gallery was made. Gallery Director Lori Korsmo said the new gallery is a vast improvement over the old gallery, which was covered in gold shag carpeting and had artificial lighting. The new gallery has higher ceilings, natural lighting and six white spacer walls used to display artwork. An opening celebration was held Sept. 10 at a reception held for Steve Shepard, one of two artists that made up the first exhibit. The selection process used for choosing shows was a tedious one, Korsmo said. "We have a selection process that starts in September for the following year," Korsmo said. "I advertise for artists to send exhibition proposals in the form of slides, portfolios or samples and then the art faculty decides who they think would be best." A student show was also held in April showcasing the best work of NMSU art students. "We choose a jury outside of the University to choose which works will be shown," Korsmo said. Students not only gained experience through studying exhibitions and having their work displayed in the gallery, but through working in the gallery. Sophomore Julie Wadie worked as Korsmo's assistant, giving her experience for her career. "I help run errands, install shows and set up receptions for the artists," Wadie said. Attendance at the gallery was up from last year because of the better location and atmosphere. "There was definitely a jump in attendance once people found out where the new gallery was," Wadie said. Students who visited frequently liked the improved gallery. "I go there all the time," freshman Amy Enderle said. "The atmosphere is hard to describe. It's neat when you walk in this big, open room and you feel so small." 72 academics (Page 73) photo by Thom Kennedy Critiquing an exhibit for class, freshman Lisa Settle steps up to take a closer look.

But what about the people who compile the tests and devote their lives to educating others? What qualities make a good value-added instructor? Students have very different views about what qualities make a good professor. These range from the Robin Williams character in "Dead Poet's Society" to the "Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?" mentality in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". Helping meet personal learning needs was just one quality students valued in a professor. "I think a good professor is one that caters not only to the majority, but also to the minority," sophomore Chip Tow said. Some courses required teachers to possess certain qualities or principles. Professors who teach courses that students need for general education requirements often have to go out on a limb to keep students interested. "I like a professor who is spontaneous and can be funny too," freshman Casey Neville said. Not every teacher can be Robin Williams, but those that lecture straight from a textbook rated low with students. "A good teacher doesn't lecture straight for the textbook," sophomore Shelly Wilson said. "They will give individual attention both during office hours and off hours." Many students think the attention given to students in and out of class is important. "A good professor should be easily accessible and willing to talk to students outside of class," junior Nikki Phillips said. Students preferred a professor who used an interesting style to deliver material. Professors who spoke in monotones and rarely made eye contact or changed their speaking style were often in danger of losing students' interest. Others find it important for a professor's enthusiasm about the material to show. "Good professors are enthusiastic about the subject and can convey that enthusiasm to the students," senior Charlene Drumm said. Perhaps the best thing a teacher can do is avoid patronizing students. One of the most hated qualities in a teacher is talking down to a class. 74 academics (Page 75) photo by Ken Roth photo by Thom Kennedy Taking time to speak with a student.

The air is damp and muddy water seeps through your shoes. As you cautiously proceed into this foreign atmosphere, you observe small, black bats perched above your head, hibernating. This experience was not uncommon to Assistant Professor of Earth Science AI Copley's speleology class. Speleology is the science of exploring caves. Students in the class learned how to explore a cave, how to approach animals in the cave and basic survival techniques used in caving. Everyone must attend three of seven cave exploration trips offered. Students who attended the trips said one thing that attracted them to spelunking was the element of danger. "We found some very small passageways that were actually 'rooms' -- they were barely big enough to squeeze through," senior Sean Jensen said. "The thrill of being a quarter mile back in a cave and knowing that you only have one or two sources of light gives it an element of danger." On each expedition the spelunkers arranged their own transportation and paid all expenses such as food and entry fees to public caves. Several of the trips required camping gear, but there were times when even the best gear did not help. "At one point we ran into bats, but Dr. Copley told us not to shine our lights on them because it would interrupt their hibernation cycle," junior Meg Weber said. "In our second cave, there was a narrow passageway covered by water. It turned out there was about three inches of water, and a couple feet of mud -- it went up to our thighs, but we slogged through to the other side." Class members were graded on attendance at the speleology sessions and completion of a final exam or project. Students enrolled in speleology came from a wide range of majors even though the class was Physics 598. Business Administration major Duandre Allen took the course because he heard it was fun. "It was just one of those things that you do while you're in school," Allen said. 76 academics (Page 77) photo by Albert Copley Trying to get a better view, Jim Van Dyke of the Department of Natural Resources explains this rock formation to the class.

This year, students got the opportunity to expand their career possibilities by declaring an academic minor. Most students have not declared a minor because they are only offered through the 1990-91 course catalog. To freshmen and sophomores this program will be important. "It's a big, long process, and everything is not available yet, but it is a great idea and hopefully real soon everyone will have a minor," sophomore Liz Hinsch said. But students near graduation, see it differently. "I really wish I had a choice on having a minor," senior Connie Bagwell commented. "I was an accounting major but I switched to Marketing. The accounting classes I took were in vain. It would have helped to have them on my transcript so people know I have a background in it. It's a shame to not have such an important program until now." Minors that students choose from are varied, including most major subjects. If a minor is not offered now, remember the program is just starting. Throughout the next several years, new courses will be added. To obtain the new minor program, a sub-committee of the undergraduate council organized a petition. The petition had to be passed first by the undergraduate committee and next by the faculty senate. After being approved by both factions it was signed by Darrel Krueger, Vice President for Academic Affairs. Then on May 2, 1989 President Charles J. McClain signed the proposal making academic minors part of the NMSU program. One of the most attractive qualities about minors was the addition of them to student transcripts. With the diversified education received from both a major and a minor, it greatly enhanced a student's chances for employment or admission to graduate school. "I like the fact that students commit themselves to minors, it offers them another important field in their lives," Professor of English Connie Holt Jones said. "It also frees up electives, and in that way they can truly have a liberal arts education." 78 academics (Page 79) say what? What's the best place to study on this campus?

For some individuals, the stress of an academic lifestyle was increased by a physical disability. One such student is Dennis Miller, a broadcast journalism major who is blind. He obtained tape recorded versions of all his textbooks. When those were unavailable, he had to hire a reader since the university neither funds nor provides this service. Karen Hirsch, an Assistant Professor of the Division of Education, experienced difficulty getting around on campus because of a walking disability. For convenience, her office is located on the first floor of Violette Hall. "The location of my office sometimes makes me feel isolated from the other members of my division," Hirsch commented, "and there's really no other option since there's no elevator in Violette Hall." Inspired by her experiences, Hirsch wanted to help others deal with their disabilities. She organized a special interest group for the disabled on campus. In the past, she was one of the strongest supporters for establishing a disability services office. "Just as there are special offices for minorities and international students, I have always believed that there should be one for the disabled," Hirsch explained. The concern for the disabled has grown throughout the campus. In the past, Northeast was known as the only state university without a disability services center but this year, Jordan Davis was hired as the official university coordinator for disability services. In addition to hiring Davis, the university took other steps to assist disabled students. For those who have severe vision impairments, the university is in the process of installing a reading magnification system. Two of the Fair Apartments have been adapted to make them fully accessible to the physically disabled. "We'd really like to make the campus more accessible," Smith said. "But it's a question of time and money. It's a slow process, and we need more money from the state if we're going to make it work." 80 academics (Page 81) photo by Thom Kennedy Junior Chris Hill utilizes senses other than sight to make his way around campus.

Its founders have been accused of sexism and male bashing. Since its beginning in the spring of 1990, the Women's Center has been faced with controversy and criticism from both men and women. The center was founded by Ryle Hall Director Lynn Freeman and NMSU alumnae Michelle Reichert. "We both attended colleges where they had one," Freeman said. "We decided it was time for Northeast to have one so we researched it, drew up a proposal and presented it to Dean (of Students) Terry Smith." The center offers much more than just the rape information and violence intervention services often associated with it. "We don't want to focus on rape," Freeman said. "It's such a negative issue. The center offers educational forums and an educational resource center for students that focuses on women and their contributions to various fields." Many students have the misconception that the center is just for women, but men are also involved. Senior Terry Shaw is one of the center's volunteers. Shaw said there were several things that attracted him to working at the center. Male faculty members are also involved. Professor Bob Mielke takes part in the faculty advisory board for the center. Mielke considers himself a feminist. "Actually, I'm a post-feminist," Mielke said. "I don't believe in gender distinctions. Gender categories are social, artificial categories that we put people into. My role here at NMSU is that of a strategic feminist -- to help this university go from pre-feminist to feminist." Mielke believes the Women's Center should be a rich, multi-purpose facility and should not be thought of simply as a rape crisis center. "We do need a women's center," freshman Jenny Harmon said. "We need resources and information about things like birth control and rape. If the guys really want a Men's Center, they should have it. The sexes are different and have different needs." 82 academics (Page 83) Making use of the Center's resources, freshman Sheri Brinser does some reading.

Cheating on tests, quizzes or turning in homework late are ways students demonstrate how they had "more important" things to do than study. Although most do not like to admit it, many people have cheated at least once during their school years. Cheating is a two-edged sword. The reward for successfully gleaning somebody else's hard work is a decent grade. The downside, however, was probably best expressed by the reaction of a teacher in ancient Greece to his student caught cheating on a philosophy exam. His crime: he had pinned a brief summary of Socratean philosophy inside the front of his toga. His punishment was to chant, "Asking 'Why?' is not that hard to remember," one hundred times, then to drink hemlock. Punishments have slacked off a bit since then, but people still take necessary precautions to ensure personal safety whenever cheating. "A lot of people that cheat do so out of panic, but while they make up a cheat sheet, they actually can learn some of the information they're writing down," freshman Robin Mahon said. Cheat sheets are not the only way students cheat on exams. Placing answers in a calculator case is a popular way of cheating on math exams. For other tests, students have gone to the extremes of placing a piece of paper with answers written on it in their class ring, writing the answers on a gum wrapper, or pinning the answers to the inside of a sweater or tie. Students have different opinions about their peers that cheat. "I think cheaters are people without a lot of self-confidence," senior Alan Francis said. Instructors have developed ways of helping these students gain more confidence. During tests, they pace the isles, watch for wandering eyes and check the floors for any stray notebooks or papers. Some instructors have even produced handouts detailing their cheating policy. Cheating has been around for a long time. For these students, who get caught the age old adage applies, "Those who cheat only cheat themselves." -- Ann Hinch 84 academics (Page 85) Some students and professors consider test files a form of cheating. Junior Marygold Madrigal checked the Delta Zeta test file for help on an upcoming exam. Using a cheat sheet is one of the most popular ways students cheat. Some went to the extreme and wrote answers on anything from skirt hems to baseball caps. However, some professors allowed at least one sheet of notes during an exam, in this instance Junior Kathy Arnold crammed as much writing as possible to help during the exam. Sophomore Dante Nethery copies sophomore Jason Rak's notes in their World Literature class. While this was not considered cheating, many eyes could be seen wandering during test periods. say what? What was the most creative way you have cheated or seen someone cheat?

While this group is more visible among the general student population, there are several other instrumental organizations that exist on campus. The band department at Northeast is made up of six different groups that perform a wide variety of musical styles, from the classics to pop to jazz. Under the direction of Dan Peterson , several of the bands have received national honors and recognition. The largest band organization at Northeast is the Gamblers Marching Band, a group of about 150 students who perform at home football games as well as traveling to high school festivals to entertain and recruit students. "I saw the Gamblers perform at Busch Stadium when I was in high school and I was so impressed that I looked closer at Northeast as my college choice," freshman Patrick O'Brien said. The Symphonic Band, an ensemble of about 80 members, performs many concerts both on and off campus during the year. The group plays a wide array of music arranged for full band performance. In addition to the marching and symphonic bands, Northeast has two bands that are more specialized in their focus and audience. The 55 member Wind Symphony is a group of woodwind, brass and percussion players at Northeast. The Wind Symphony has won recognition from the Music Educators National Conference and the College Band Directors National Association for their talent. Northeast also has a Jazz Ensemble that is made up of three groups, each containing twenty players. The first group consists of the most experienced musicians while the other two are made up of intermediate and beginning players. In addition to the other musical groups on campus, there are two orchestras. The Symphony Orchestra and the String Orchestra perform a wide variety of classical music. -Keith Hall 86 academics (Page 87) photo by Thom Kennedy Stepping in time are members of the marching band.

The Writing Center is the campus counseling and tutoring service that helps students improve and build their writing skills. "The Writing Center is a support system for those students who find themselves in an English course but, are not an English major," Chett Breed assistant professor of English said. Breed recommends his students visit the center for consultation before their papers are due. The center offers three specific services for students and faculty. The first of the three is one-to- one consultation. Any student or faculty member may be assigned a personal consultant if they wish. They will meet with this consultant once a week to develop and improve their writing skills. The second service the center offers is a walk-in consultation. This allows a troubled writer to receive immediate assistance on an assignment. The last service is providing workshops for students and faculty who want more practical training and knowledge. "We try to help students with their writing," Writing Center Consultant Stephanie Williams said. "People can bring in their writings whenever they are ready to get help." During the last two years, the Writing Center has operated as a multi-level system to form a whole learning community. Peer readers make up the first level. They assist in writing across the curriculum. "The peer readers examine several assignments during the semester and make comments," Writing Center Director Mary Lou Woehlk said. "The student then revises the paper and turns the revision in to the teacher." The upper levels consist of writing consultants and administrators that help peer readers and run the center. "The program ultimately helps everyone, and there are still some things we'd like to do," Woehlk said. "There is a concern at the University for good writing." 88 academics (Page 89) photo by Thom Kennedy Looking up some files in the writing center, worker Andrea Hardy prepares for her next client.

The campus tours, part of the Feb. 22 Board of Governors meeting, was just one of several plans the Board had to use more student input in reaching decisions. Senators escorted the members through the residence halls and around campus to catch a glimpse of student life. They even got a taste of PFM. Senate President Jeff Milke said the senators were appreciative of the opportunity to voice student concerns. "It's always a positive thing when the board is so open to student input," Milke said. "It helps bring the board to the university community and helps them make better informed decisions." Meeting with senators was not the only way the Board worked to learn about student needs. During the search for the president, they took information gathered from student surveys and forums into account. Although students were a main concern of the board, they had other business to cover this year including the appointments of three new members. Thomas Shrout, executive director for the St. Louis Citizens for Modern Transit, James Moulder, chairman emeritus for Booker Associates, Inc. and William North, director and shareholder of Shughart, Thomson and Kilroy, P. C. were all named to the Board. Questions began to surface after a Dec. 15 meeting when the board recommended the university cut the Divisions of Industrial Science and Family Sciences. The cut was a result of enrollment in the programs. Faculty involved said the Board handled the situation properly.

Now Northeast's 48-year-old president laughs when he recalls that aspiration. Warren, who was born in Baltimore, Md., and raised in Richmond, Va., had plans as an undergraduate to study accounting, become a CPA, get a degree in law and practice tax law. That dream fell through when he discovered he did not enjoy accounting. Instead, he specialized in anti-trust economics and became a teacher. Since then, he has never regretted it. The lifestyle of a teacher appealed to him, and he felt he could do a better job than many of his teachers who didn't seem to care about what they were teaching. "It's a wonderful career," he said. "My only problem is there are two careers I love -- teaching and administration." Up until now he always managed to combine the two. Even as acting president one year at James Madison University, he taught. He also intended to teach at Northeast, but now is not sure if that will ever be possible, except perhaps during the summer. A self-proclaimed introvert, he said he treasures his time alone in the stately brick President's Mansion on the corner of Normal and Halliburton. There he spends time reading biographies and playing piano. The owner of a '67 Corvette Stingray, he also reads about old cars and is looking into purchasing another one, perhaps a convertible. The last five years, he has attended the National Car Show in Hershey, Penn. Although Warren feels accepted by the campus and the community, he said he likes to travel and generally does not stick around on the weekends, unless he needs to attend official University functions. "It's hard for me to be a normal person in this town," he said. "It's hard for people to see me as a regular person, so I think it would be lonely if I spent weekend after weekend here." He also plans a trip either abroad or to a beach area every year. If he ever sells his house in Virginia, he wants to buy a beach house in Kiawah, S.C., just south of Charleston, to escape to every month or two. While Warren does not enjoy Kirksville's cold winter climate, he is not looking for work on the sunny beaches of Florida. He plans on staying at Northeast until he retires. "This is the kind of presidency, in my view, that one settles into because there is a lot of work to be done here, but there are a lot of good things already," he said. "There's until I retire's worth of work here, but it is good work because there's until I retire's worth of reward here." But although Warren may not regret never becoming fire chief, he does miss teaching. "I might retire relatively young, at 58 or 60, buy a nice place on the beach somewhere, go to a local college, wherever that is, and offer to teach part-time, cheap " -Missy Gilbert 92 academics (Page 93) New president relates genuine concern Northeast may in fact be the Harvard of the Midwest. But new President Russell Warren has bigger plans for the University. His goal is to make Northeast the best public undergraduate university in the nation. Warren replaced Interim President Robert Dager July 1, following a year-long presidential search that began when Charles McClain resigned to become the Commissioner of Higher Education for Missouri. McClain, who was president for 19 years, is credited with instituting the value-added assessment program here and raising academic standards to an unprecedented high. Like McClain, Warren wants to continue improving academics at the University. But right now, he is more concerned with improving student affairs, food service, housing and athletic programs. He said the University's future depends on rounding out the institution. "I don't think you get better just by driving up ACT scores," Warren said. "I think it's a place, though, where in every nook and cranny on this campus learning is taking place - in fraternities and sororities, on the football field, in the dining halls - and I think it's going to be a place where every student feels a sense of community and of responsibility for every other student." To help gauge student views and needs, Warren hosted weekly luncheons at his house to discuss campus issues. When students returned for the spring semester, they found the snack bar being renovated and a help desk being instituted to assist students in solving problems. Warren said the biggest challenge he faces at the University is getting students and faculty more involved on campus. "The greatest challenge is to create a sense of community, where people are going to be insular, more committed to excelling personally to the highest level but also committed to helping others," he said. He classified students here as bright, outgoing and interested in a wide variety of issues, yet insecure. He said part of this insecurity is due to the fact that the university is a first generation success story and not yet comfortable with success. "We probably brag about ACT scores too much," he said. "If you go in homes of first generation success story people, there are a whole lot of plaques on the wall. The Kennedy's don't have plaques on the wall. If you go to Harvard, they're not talking ACT scores." True success will be achieved when every person on campus becomes "president," he said. "What a president is, is someone who is responsible for everything and takes that responsibility seriously," he said. "My view is that the janitor on this floor can be president of McClain Hall and will be the second he decides he's going to take a real sense of pride in this hall and be sure that it's first class. And if he sees something that's not in his job description, he addresses it." "We will be the best place in the country the second every student, every staff member and every faculty member decides to be president of their area." -Missy Gilbert photo by Thom Kennedy Relaxing during some free time.

This question is just one of the many students and faculty asked library workers after its renovation. The latest addition to Pickler Memorial Library was added in 1967. In the summer of 1986, Laughlin building was torn down and the ground was broken for the newest addition on August 7, 1987. Following Thanksgiving break, people could finally step foot into the library addition which was called Phase I. Phase II is the complete renovation of the old part of the building. When finished, this will resemble the new section. First reactions to the improvements in the library were positive. "I like the new improvements a lot," sophomore Nickie Behrens said. "Whenever I used to walk into the old library, I felt like I was entering a morgue," she said. The books are also placed in an easier arrangement with A-E on the second floor and F-Z on the third floor. Another first is an elevator, surrounded by a glassed-in circular staircase. "It's definitely more appealing, I'm more apt to go there to study," senior Julie Bauer said. "However, it's been in construction for so long and now that it looks cool, I'm leaving." Other new additions to the library bring comfort and study together. High back chairs and couches are available for students. Also, there are many single desks available for students who want privacy. "In the old part of the library, it wasn't comfortable enough to study, but now I go more often," freshman Erin O'Brien said. Other visual changes are the various new locations of the offices, and the addition of trees planted on the first floor. Library workers welcomed the new addition. "I'm ready for the (final) move, the reference area has been in two locations since Thanksgiving," Head Reference Librarian Karen McClaskey said. "This is only temporary, there will still be one more gigantic move in about two years before we are completely finished." -Kris Siena 94 academics (Page 95) photo by Thom Kennedy Skylights and trees give the new section of the library a much different atmosphere than the older portion. Students also enjoyed the spaciousness of the new addition. photo by Thom Kennedy To get this view of the library and the new addition, one only needs to take a stroll across the walkway connecting McClain Hall and Baldwin Hall. The new part of the library gave students a more comfortable setting in which to work. The library's new addition brings a bit of modern architecture to campus. The addition was a two and a half year project which opened just prior to Christmas vacation. photo by Thom Kennedy say what? What is the most memorable experience you have had taking a class?

In another time; another era, this might have passed relatively unnoticed. In 1991, however, this simple mechanical movement in Washington, D.C announced rather quietly the rejection of United Nations peace terms by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and the beginning of what some people term collectively "another Viet Nam." The conflict had been brewing for months, ever since Hussein's troops invaded the small oil- producing nation of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. President George Bush had troops from the U.S. stationed in Saudi Arabia not long thereafter, with all intentions to take force to liberate Kuwait, if necessary. The U.N. set January 15 as the day for Iraqi troops to withdraw from Kuwait, and Bush seconded it by threatening to activate our forces in air raids against their country. On January 16, at nearly 7 p.m. D.C. time, he gave the go-ahead that "the liberation of Kuwait has begun." On Saturday, February 23, after the noon deadline for Hussein to begin withdrawing his ground forces from the tiny nation had passed, Bush announced later in the day that Allied ground forces had been activated as well -- the Allies consisting of the U.S., Britain, Saudi Arabia, and France, with the assistance of Turkey for use of ground bases. When classes resumed in August, students started to express their diverse opinions about possible military action. Yellow ribbons were displayed on campus trees, and various campus organizations presented forums on the war. The College Republicans supported the possibility of war in their "Speak Out!" forum in October while World Peace Group showed their opposition with a candlelight vigil. Letter-writing campaigns by NMSU students and others across the country forced the Department of Defense in January to actually limit the amount of mail which could be sent to overseas. President Bush wrote a letter to more than 500 U.S. universities and colleges, explaining his actions and trying to justify them to the most opposed of readers. Some students still disagreed. "I don't think it's moral, and really, I just think it's a chance for President Bush to try to alleviate his stigma as a whimp," freshman Ovetta Sampson said. "I believe that America should stop trying to impose their imperialistic ideals on the Middle East, because it only makes it easier for them to resent us as a great political power, and it makes them have a greater tendency to hate us as a nation." The issues surrounding the war have forced some students to change their opinion on the situation. "At first I couldn't believe that we were actually over there, but in retrospect, I think it's a good idea," junior Mike Schaeffer said. "Hussein is such a powerful, charismatic leader, and his people are behind him -- I think he needs to be stopped before he gets a lot of power, and I'm glad we're over there." Hussein did get stopped on Feb. 27 when his troops pulled out of Kuwait. Bush informed the American public that the U.S. had defeated Hussein and their goal would now be to get him ousted from office and bring the troops home. - Ann M.

Now what are you going to do with it? Are you going to continue accumulating waste and destroying the environment or are you going to do something about it? Face it, as America's future the burden lies in our hands to fix what ourparents and grandparents unknowlingly ruined. Within the last two decades, researchers have been warning Earthlings about the condition of the planet. Fortunately, some students are listening. The people across the nation that are concerned with the environment has resulted in landfill regulations and recycling laws in many areas, a reduction in the packaging of fast-food products and more growth and consumption of organically grown foods. Northeast students were directly involved with environmental awareness through several campus organizations. Greens, an environmental and political organization founded on grassroots democracy and the Organization of Students Concerned About Resources worked to increase public awareness of environmental problems and urged the university to use more recycled paper products. "The biggest thing we've done is campus recycling," junior Lauren Reinhold said. "We started the recycling program on campus and worked on getting the University to take it over, which they have." Greens and OSCAR also sent representatives form their groups Catalyst, an environmental conference in Champaign-Urbana. "After attending Catalyst, it lifts you up for you're not always sure if other people believe in your cause," sophomore Sherry Teerlinck said. "But when you're with 7,000 other people that agree with you, it's pretty cool to exchange views on how to go about it." In spite of these additional activities, many students felt that environmental issues were overshadowed by the war. "The media has been almost entirely focused on the war," sophomore Andrea Fortier said. "The environment should be an important issue -- even more so now, with the war." "I think the war has made feelings toward the environment stronger," freshman Robert Spaulding said. "More people are concerned about the war's effects on the environment, especially with all of the oil fires and Hussein's oil spill in the gulf." Although at times, it seems like interest in environmental problems is universal, some students consider themselves unaffected by such issues. "I'm going to be dead by the time anything happens anyway," sophomore Jeff Otto said. In spite of the almost exclusive war coverage in the media and occasional apathy, public awareness was still an important issue, and across the country, the environmental movement continued. The attention of the public could not be entirely refocused on any subject, even the war. - Charlotte Grider lOO environment (Page 101) At the NEMO Recylcing center, a large cage holds empty aluminium cans.

Chances are you didn't because the great earthquake of 1990 never happened. Thanks to Iben Browning, millions of dollars were spent on hotel reservations, T-shirts and souvenirs of the quake's biggest star, New Madrid, Mo. Monday, Dec. 3, E-day as some called it, came and went with anticipation growing. Thousands of people in the midwest were waiting to see what Dec. 4 would bring. Would it be just another day, or would it mark the destruction of such cities in St. Louis, Memphis and Tennesse. Tuesday, Dec. 4 was the day Browning, a New Mexico climatologist, had predicted for the day of the big quake. Based on research and analysis of the gravitational pull of the sun and moon, Browning concluded that Dec. 4 was the day the New Madrid Fault would be recognized world- wide. That day came and went, still no earthquake. By Wednesday, Dec. 5, most people decided that Browning's prediction was not going to become reality, but the realization was too late for the citizens of New Madrid. Homes were abandoned and shops and schools were closed. The people of New Madrid were not the only ones taking the prediction seriously. The Missouri National Guard held maneuvers in southern Missouri that week along with hundreds of reporters and adventure seekers who flocked to New Madrid and surrounding areas to get the story of the trembler first hand. Northeast students also prepared for the quake. A seminar on "Earthquake Etiquette" was presented in Centennial Hall. Stan East, vice chairman of the Local Emergency Planning Committee, spoke to students about preventing earthquake injuries. Students in residence halls received information about preparing for the earthquake. Many seismologists worried that the announcement of Browning's prediction, which they thought was incorrect, would cause the public to panic. For the most part, it did. Even though scientists denounced the prediction as unscientific, it was noted that a large-scale quake in the future is not an impossibility. Still, the science of prediction has not been perfected so all New Madrid can do is wait. - Greg Persinger ENVIRONMENT earthquake 101 (Page 102) CENSORSHIP As a communication Week presentation, former Rollins Stone editor Dave Marsh speaks out about music censorship. Thom Kennedy 102 censorship (Page 103) Hear the words "2 Live Crew" and you immediately, "censorship". This group has shown America that a little censorship isn't going to get them down. The group received a bad rap for being as nasty as they wanted to be, but, they sold a record number of albums. "2 Live Crew weren't the only ones who were censored. Pop icon Madonna's video "Justify My Love" was censored by MTV, an organization most people consider liberal. Some students think that censorship of music is acceptable. "I think they (2 Live Crew) are obscene and I'm offended by their lyrics," senior Rhonda Layton said. "I won't listen to them because I think they're disgusting. They have the freedom to play what they want and I think people should have that choice. My choice is I don't want to hear their music." Censorship has been a highly debated issue in political circles and Northeast was thrust in the middle of it after it was announced that university policy suggested no vocal, public demonstrations on the Mall because it obstructed the flow of traffic and posed a nuisance to the university community. Outraged at what they thought was a violation of their first amendment rights, some students took matters into their own hands. "Signs were posted on the Mall deeming it a "No Opinion Zone by order of the university". The nation was at war and students were about the wage their own with administration." The issue of music censorship was brought directly to campus during Communication Week. Dave Marsh, former Rolling Stone editor and music critic and concerned Jefferson City parent Steve Smith debated the censorship issue in the Snack Bar. "Nobody is in favor of censorship," Marsh said. "I've never met a censor who's in favor of censorship. That word is not used by anybody and everybody's agenda is just child welfare. Yet we hear that one of the problems with rock is the fascination with the occult." Marsh pointed out that Satinism is protected under the First Amendment just like other religions and that if parents are concerned about what music their child is listening to, they should talk to them. Some students agreed. "First Amendment rights provide for freedom of speech," sophomore Brian Lee said. "A person should be able to say what they want without anyone censoring what they play. They can say it's obscene without labeling it as obscene. Smith said he became involved with the music issue because he has been working with teenagers from a religious standpoint for five to six years. "It is something that has bothered me working with the teenagers, when I started looking at what some of the musicians were saying," Smith said. "Some of the nonchalant attitudes by the teenagers over the things that were being said, so I got involved. Too often, I think that people look at music as entertainment only and that's not necessarily the case." "I think the opening remarks were interesting, but the questioning was lame because there were people speaking without stating a point and they were rambling on," junior Shawn Oliver said. censorship 103 (Page 104) You graduate in May. finally, your dreams of a great job, new car and new start are coming true. Welcome to reality. The job market isn't that great and it's harder to get a loan. Didn't you remember? The United States is in a recession and you're smack in the middle of it. A recession is an economic slow down of production output. In other words, a recession is when consumers are afraid to spend. "It's a scary thought that our economic system is based on fear by the consumer," senior Jim Hall said. When the recession started, consumers began to buy less which caused retailers to buy less from producers. Producers were manufacturing less, causing large-scale layoffs of employees who are, in the economic circle, consumers. We have all heard that the recession is here, but what factors created it? The recession did not just happen overnight. There were leading indicators that had economists predicting the problem before it began. America's unstable money supply, layoff rates and net change in inventories on hand were all warning signs. One major factor contributing to the recession was the downfall of Savings and Loan institutions. These institutions freely loaned money at low interest rates and received no payments back on the loans. Ironically, this economic mess that President Bush is trying to get the country out of, is widely blamed on his son, Neil. Most S and L's that were hurting to stay afloat before the breakout of war, experienced more problems as the war progressed. Locally, Community Federal Savings and Loan, went under and Boatmen's Bank took over their accounts. This left many students with questions about their checking accounts, savings accounts and loans. "I'm a little upset they haven't sent me any information about the takeover," sophomore Michelle Schubert said. "It's kind of odd that they didn't." With interest rates low, the Federal Reserve hoped that consumers would again feel safe spending. The lower rates made big ticket items more excessible to consumers. This, economists hoped, would help get the country out of the recession. The first area which was affected by the recession was construction. Consumers found it difficult to obtain loans for home purchases. This lack of construction was just the beginning of a vicious circle that continued to dig Americans into a deeper hole. The Gulf War played a large role in the recession. Some thought the war's quick resolution would help the economy because consumers would no longer be afraid to buy. "With a quick resolution in the Gulf, consumers confidence will return, Seymour Patterson, associate professor of economics said." "The United States will increase spending to rebuild losses from the war, and the rebuilding of Kuwait will create more jobs." Students at Northeast will bear the brunt of the recession next year. Enrollment and housing fees will be increasing as a direct result of the recession. - Sean King 104 economy (Page 105) After weeks of deliberations, Food Barn workers decided to strike to protest the loss of benefits and pay reduction the company struggles. Thom Kennedy ECONOMY economy (Page 106) It happened in Florida it happened at Mizzou, it happened at campuses across the nation, and despite what information is released to the public, it happened at Northeast. Campus assault and the release of crime statistics has been a hot topic on campuses across the nation. Both male and female students are demanding to know just how safe their campus' are and what the administrations are doing to make them more safe. The issue is so hot, that it has led the editor of the Southwest Missouri State University newspaper, The Standard, to file suit against the administration to get the records released. In times past, it was thought that violence only occurred on big campuses, not a small town like Kirksville. But, students began to wise-up to the reality of campus assault after a series of assaults against Northeast women were publicized. Until the attack, violence in general was not discussed much on campus. Even as the reports came out through word of mouth and several Index articles, there was still strong denial from the administration that the incidents occurred. The denials were justified by allegations that no assaults were reported and that the Kirksville Police Department and prosecuting attorney would release information as they saw fit. In response to what they saw as an administrative policy of silence, several flyers were placed around campus, sent to administrators involved and even distributed at Parents' Day activities. The flyers displayed a "poem" put together by a group of students calling themselves "The Memebers of the Guerilla Poetry Society". The poem in part states: "All that's left to us is word of mouth and bathroom walls, So we will plaster rapists' names across the toilet stalls. And we'll keep a list of party houses, bars and frats Where are friends are raped. We'll keep our own stats." In a Sept. 27 Index article, Dean of Students Terry Smith called the poem libelous because it criticized Prosecutor Tom Hensley and Smith's comments regarding rape. The first stanza of the poem that mentions writing on bathroom stalls was not just a suggestion. Second Floor Baldwin Hall had several bathroom stalls that became billboards for students frustrations about rape. Although it was hard to get straight answers from the administration on the issue, more and more emphasis was placed on campus safety. After national attention focused on the murders of Florida college students living in campus housing, universities across the nation were evaluating their system and Northeast was no exception. One of President Russell Warren's first duties was to address the issue of campus safety with a task force on issues of sexual assault headed by Professor of Communications Linn Ratcliff. The task force published its findings on Feb. 15. Finally statistics were released, aid to victims was addressed and a university policy was suggested. Although some questions were still unanswered, students' voices were being heard. - Erica Phillippe 106 Campus assualts (Page 107) Locking her door sophomore Tina Klein is precautions against theft.

On the surface, these are words people equate with racism. Racism isn't just degrading names, it comes from something deeper. Racism is a direct result of our history, our present environment and our ability to accept diversity. Although some students have never seen a racial incident on campus, racism exists. If you don't believe it does, just ask some of the minority and foreign students on campus. Junior Alisa Green became concerned with racial issues on campus when she noticed the door on her residence hall was sporting the letter "C" next to her room number. Green believes the letter was used to designate "colored" rooms when the hall was first built. "Everybody gave me a reason why the 'C's' were there , some people tried to explain that they were to mark Brewer as the "C" building, Blanton was 'A' and Nason was 'B'. If that's the case, why are there no other letters on any of the other rooms?" Green asked. Terry Smith, dean of the colleges, said the letters never did stand for anything but the "C" building. "I knew I wanted those letters down," Green said. "I tried to follow a systematic approach. I am not trying to cause trouble, I am just asking that they not take issues so lightly." Not all racial incidents center around blacks and whites. Senior Daphne Chang, who came to Northeast from Taiwan last year, said she has seen American students make fun of foreign students. "People think you are below normal IQ because you can't express their language perfectly," Chang said. "Just think-- a person who can't even communicate -- how much they suffer. At this time people need help, not a joke." What do white students think of the accusations against them? Some are angered by what they see as reverse discrimination. "Reverse discrimination is tearing us apart," former student Ann Carter wrote in the Nov. 15 issue of the Index. "If a white minority group were to organize, advertise and have its own homecoming dance, sparks would fly. Why then, if they are so very riled up about equality and desegregation, do those such as ABC have their own separate, but equal activities?" "Minorities, when you're talking about race, can and do discriminate against the more dominant group," said C. Ray Barrow, associate professor of social science. "What you tend not to find is minorities who discriminate in any significant fashion." Affirmative action and minority scholarships have come under fire as giving minorities unfair advantages. With smaller issues within the larger scope of racism, will things ever change? Dwanyne Smith director of minority services thinks it can and will. "It will have to start from what we teach our students not only from here (Northeast), but way back from grade school on up ... that's how things are going to change," Smith said. - Dirk Stallman and Missy Gilbert 108 black/white greeks (Page 109) Acceptance of all races is something the men of Orea Posse learn by working together.

The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, a group founded in 1970 was dedicated to changing laws relating to the cultivation and use of marijuana. The group spent its second year on campus fighting for what they consider a right. "NORML isn't just for pot smokers," Freshman Brenda Jossen said. "We seek to raise awareness about alternative uses of the hemp plant. More people have died from alcohol and cigarettes than have died from marijuana." While the national organization has dedicated itself to the repeal of laws relating to the use and growth of marijuana, the local chapter focuses on educating people about marijuana use through the presentation of pamphlets and films. This year, the group presented the films "Reefer Madness" and "Hemp for Victory". They also supported the national organization during its work in Alaska to keep the state's liberal marijuana laws, even though the effort failed and the use or growth of the drug was once again made a state offense. Although the group has had to face accusations and negative comments from some students and faculty, they have encountered no widespread opposition to their stance or their activities. "NORML is still not too popular on campus, but I think drugs are an issue that America is going to take a look at in the future," junior Mike Schaefer said. "Americans spend $968 million per year on marijuana, but the costs in enforcing marijuana laws and keeping people in prison are much higher. Even many prominent conservatives like William F. Buckley are calling for the decriminalization of marijuana." NORML does not limit its scope only to the consumption of marijuana for recreational purposes. While the group realizes that people will use marijuana as a drug, NORML seeks to educate people about the plant's other uses. According to NORML literature, marijuana in the form of hemp has many useful purposes for society that include textiles and fuel. The stalks of the plant can be used for paper, paint and plastics. The plant also has medical purposes such as the relief of pain and the treatment of glaucoma. The group thinks these uses for the plant are often overlooked because of the stigma attached to it.

Having roommates, being away from home, developing good study habits and adjusting to Kirksville can be overwhelming. But, one group of students face extra obstacles when they come to college. Students labeled non-traditional are those who are over the age of 24 pursuing undergraduate degrees. Freshman Kim Smoot, a non-traditional student, had to find time for both her classes and her family, which includes a husband and two children. "The biggest problem I had was finding time to study," Smoot said. Aside from the changes their families must make, many non-traditional students find the adjustment from career to college a difficult one. "I was away from school for seven years," sophomore Lori Smith said. "At first, I had a hard time getting used to studying again because I was so used to working a job." Smoot said the majority of faculty and students have been helpful in making the adjustment, but she has encountered a few people who are hostile toward older students. "I've had a few professors that don't seem to like dealing with non-traditionals, but I've been surprised overall by how nice everyone has been," Smoot said. Some non-traditional students find their age gives them an advantage over other students. Because she is older, Smith thinks she has developed more self-confidence than many of her peers. "I'm not as shy about participating in class as I was when I was younger," Smith said. "I also think I'm more motivated. So many people go to school because their parents want them to, or because they don't know what else to do. I had to make a conscious decision to return to school." Non-traditional students also find it easier to relate to their professors. "Because I am a few years older than most other freshmen, I have a more realistic view of my instructors," Smoot said. "I am not as scared to talk to them, and it's easier for me to see them as human beings who are there to help me learn because I am closer to their age." Compared to the rest of the campus population, the number of non-traditional students is relatively small. There are 81 men and lOO women full-time, non-traditional students over the age of 24. Among part-time students there are 42 men and 77 women. Throwing pottery on the wheel, juniors Laura Schoonover and Velda Dougherty, complete a project for Advanced Ceramics.

Memories Collected to show Walking past Kirk Memorial, one might have thought is was an old Greek temple. No sacrifices were made there, but the sight of a lamp shade made of human skin caused some people to think twice. No, the lamp shade was not some demented nursing student's final project. In actuality, this is one of the many items that could be seen in the E. M. Violette Museum, located on the ground floor of Kirk Memorial. The lamp shade, a relic brought back from World War II was only one of the many interesting items, located in the museum. "The doors are always locked," senior Laura Leigh Heaton said. "That's probably why most people don't see it." Tours were by appointment only. Once arranged, the tour began with a 1901 painting of the University. "You can see Normal Pond, and the old shoe factory where the physical plant is today," Tour Guide Odessa Ofstad said. E. M. Violette, founder of the museum, used his own resources to acquire many of the original items in the museum. The oldest of these items include a newsletter written by Samuel Clemens, a medieval looking dentistry outfit, and a table at which Eleanor Roosevelt once ate." "There are so many things about the history of the school," Heaton said. "I would probably have graduated and never known about it." In addition to artifacts of the school's history, many articles of clothing, weapons, and farm implements are on display. "We rely almost solely on donations to keep the collection growing," Ofstad said. "Many of the pieces have been donated by the residents of the community." A large portion of the museum is comprised of items from the Civil War, World War I and World War II. Among the items is a Nazi banner, donated by Dean of Students Terry Smith. "I feel the museum provides a unique place for students to learn about the University and the Kirksville area," senior Stuart Lindemann said. "I really found the reliques interesting." A piece of Hitler's marble desk, Nazi uniforms and banners can be seen; reminders of a dark time in history. Not all is grim in the museum. An extensive collection of paperweights is displayed. In addition, items donated by foreign exchange students depicting their native dress customs are featured. "It is a shame that so few students are aware of it," Lindemann said. "I think if more people would go to visit it."

It is spring, the weather is warm, the sun is shining. You need a tan and some rest and relaxation. Thousand Hills Lake is just ten minutes away and calling your name. You put on your swim suit, dig out the suntan oil and find your sunglasses. Just as you pack up your bags and head out the door, you suddenly remember you do not have a car. For most Northeast students, being without a car is no big deal. Kirksville is small, campus is small enough that you can walk to every building in less than ten minutes and plenty of people have cars and can offer a ride. Although parents think it is easy to find a ride when you need one, students realize it can sometimes turn into a chore. "One time, I just took her (a friend's) keys," freshman Jill Gregory said. She said she had looked for a ride but could not find one. Freshman April Robinson said the worst thing she ever did to get somewhere she needed to go was walk to Wal-Mart. Only 2,692 students have cars registered with Safety and Security, leaving more than 3,000 students either without cars or without parking stickers. Those who do not have cars experience times when they wish they did have one. "I always wish I had a car when it's time for me to go home," freshman Shanna McCrea said. Others said they needed a car, but had to do without either because their parents did not think it was necessary or because of the high cost of gas and maintenance. "I either have to walk, borrow a car, motorcycle or have my girlfriend drive me," junior Chris Jansen said. Robinson said she needs a car when she has to run errands because it would be easier and less time consuming to just get up and go. One of the biggest problems students without cars have to face is working around a friend's schedule to get a ride somewhere. Sometimes, the driver does not want to wait until classes are out, leaving the rider in a bind. Although most students agreed it is nice to have a car, some students with cars said it was not as great as it seemed. "The worst part about having a car would be having to make car payments," Jansen said. Sophomore Michelle Schubert said, "I hate having my car get dirty in Centennial parking lot because then I have to clean it." Car payments and keeping a car clean are only a few of the things drivers have to do. Lack of parking, keeping up on repairs and having to constantly haul friends around is enough to drive a student with a car crazy. Many students think a car is really unnecessary, but some argue. "I think you definitely need a car because Kirksville is not big, but if you want something in the middle of the night, you need a car to get there," Schubert said. The next time someone asks you for a ride or refuses to take you on your errands, think about what you are doing. It is just as bad being in the other guy's shoes (or wheels).

Dreaded sudzing dirty laudry It happens every break. Your ride pulls into the driveway and your parents come running to greet you. They tell you how glad they are to see you with a big hug. All is at peace in your world, you are home and mom and dad are happy -- until you begin to unload your dirty laundry and haul it into the house with hopes that mom will feel sorry for you and wash, fold and iron it by the time classes resume. While this story does sound extreme, it is very typical for college students. Laundry is usually the least of a Northeast student's worries and the pile in their residence hall rooms and apartments show it. Students often leave their laundry chores to the last possible minute. Many have specific guidelines that tell them when it is time to do laundry. "I know it's time to do my laundry when I run out of wash cloths," sophomore Ken Smith said. Others wait until the last possible minute. "When I don't have any underwear or socks left, I know it's time," senior Brian Bird said. It is not hard to tell when a classmate had hit the end of their wardrobe. Some sure signs that a friend needs to do laundry is when they begin to wear their clothes inside out, wear dress clothes for a week or mention the need to go to Wal-Mart for new underwear. "When the clothes on them today look better than they did yesterday, then you know it's time for them to do laundry," junior Mitchell Cross said. "I don't know if anyone noticed, but last semester, I wore the same clothes all during finals week." Some students find themselves following their mother's laundry habits while others cannot figure out just how she does it. "I use different detergent and I sort my clothes differently," freshman Casa Grende said. "I never know what to wash with what and what temperature to set and what to set it at," Bird said. The small number of washers and dryers in the residence halls can be frustrating to laundry procrastinators. When students fail to remove their laundry when it is finished, others take matters into their own hands. "Sometimes people take clothes out of the machine and will either fold them or leave them in a great big wad on top of the machine," sophomore Bobbie Hartlzer. Students living in the residence halls are at an advantage because they have laundry facilities readily available, while those off campus have to pack up for the laundromat. "I have a washer and dryer now, but last year I'd always forget something like soap or dryer sheets when I had to go to the laundry mat," Bird said. Having time to get it done is not the only problem students face when it comes to laundry. Not knowing how to sort clothes, remove stains or prevent shrinkage is sometimes a problem for students doing their laundry for the first time.

You know, when you had a part-time job in high school and could buy new clothes and spend money going out with friends on the weekends? Sometimes even mom and dad footed the bill. Well, times have changed and the country is in a recession. Where does that leave college students? Often saving every spare dime to pay the rising costs of tuition, housing and books. Holidays such as birthdays and Christmas used to be joyous occasions to get the things you wanted. Now they are the perfect opportunity to get that new coat, pots and pans or new blanket you have been needing. Whether you want to admit it or not, most students are forced to become penny pinchers at some point in their college careers. There are many things students do to save money. Some eat macaroni and cheese for days on end. Usually, clipping coupons or limiting money spent on the weekends are common ways to save a few cents, but some students go to extremes. "The silliest thing I did to save money was steal toilet paper," freshman Angie Raimando said. Some students found their money-saving efforts got ridiculous when it ended up costing them more money than they saved. Junior Kristin Rossberg, thought she was saving money by not buying a parking sticker, but wound up paying more than the cost of a sticker in parking tickets. Sometimes, when a student mentions they are saving money, others get wrong ideas. Calling someone Scrooge or telling them they squeak when they walk gives saving money a negative connotation. This negativity coupled with the lengths some people go to save money, makes some think penny-pinching is crazy. "I once saw someone buy a pair of 59 cent thongs at Wal-Mart and have someone say they were cheaper at K-Mart, and that person took them back," Raimondo said. Some students have even pushed off their money-saving habits on friends or relatives. "I know someone who gave a friend generic Kleenex for a birthday present," freshman Karen Heitzman said. Freshman Andrea Brooks said, "You know someone is cheap when they bring coupons for a date." Even when money is tight and the future holds a bleak outlook, there are some things students would never do in order to save money. "I would never borrow to save money because I don't like being in debt," junior Julie Ingrassia said. Some students have things they would never give up just to save money. "I would never give up cream cheese," Brooks said. Heitzman would never eat PFM every night just to save money. Despite all their money - saving efforts, there are still some areas that students would like to save more money. "I wish I could save more money driving back and forth from home," freshman Jennifer Harris. Springer thought along the lines of many Northeast students -- she wants to save more money on college costs. GRADS penny pinching 159 (Page 160) Jennifer Kotsch, jr. William Koupman, so.

Recreational games serve many purposes for those who play them. They help reduce stress, channel energy, serve as a great way to socialize and are just plain fun. One of the more popular games for students to play is Nintendo, but some students find its cost keeps them from being able to play it. "We like to play darts because Nintendo cartridges cost too much," senior Bart Woodson said. "Besides, it takes more skill and patience to be good at throwing them." Aside from their entertainment and skill-building values, Woodson and his friends find them an educational tool as well. "We pick our stocks for our investment class by pinning the Wall Street Journal to the dartboard, and then throwing the darts to pick our stocks," senior Dan Clevidence said. "Now that's what four years of value-added education will do for you." Students often get caught up in the game craze of the moment such as trivial pursuit and pictionary. "I like Pictionary because it's a lot of fun watching your friends draw stupid things," junior Angie Higgins said. "Some of the dumbest things come out of your mouth when you're trying to guess what it is." Some Pictionary buffs like it because it is different from other board games. "Most people I know can't draw very well, and they really make fools of themselves," junior Kimberly Haugh said. Some game players find their secret desires pull them toward playing such games as Monopoly. "I like Monopoly because I like to be the banker," senior Mark Jacobs said. "It's a great feeling of power to handle all that money." While manufactured games can be fun, some students like to use their creative abilities to create games of their own centering around alcohol. Of the many drinking games students play, Quarters is one of the more traditional drinking games, but "Three-man" is quickly becoming the most popular. "Three-man is a fun game because people can jump in and out of the game without disrupting it," senior Jeff Johnston said. The only thing needed to play is a pair of dice, alcohol, someone to explain the rules and someone to be three-man. Even though Three-man is popular, other drinking games can be just as entertaining. "I like to play "I Never" because it's the best way to find out dirt on my friends," senior Barb Menkhausen said. "It does have its drawbacks, but it's too much fun to bust people." Drinking games are popular partly because they help get a party moving. "My roommate and I usually have a pre-party, so drinking games are good to play to get everyone in a partying mood," Johnston said.

Some traditions never die In an age of savings and loan scandals, drug addiction and war, it looks like there are few people today's youth can look up to, but heroes still exist. When people think of heroes, figures such as John Wayne and Superman come to mind, but times have changed and the heroes of today are very different from Clark Kent. Assistant Professor of Communication, Eric Gander said choosing heroes is nothing new. The Greek society was pulled together by such heroic figures and Odysseus. Some of the biggest heroes of 1990 were a group of green, sewer-dwelling, pizza eaters known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. At first, kids were drawn to the turtles' ability to fight, but as they later proved, they could also sing. During their national tour, the turtles spread the word to America's youth that fighting solved nothing and things should instead, be discussed. The cartoon characters caused such a stir among younger audiences that a group of youngsters had to be stopped from descending into sewers and copying the turtles vigilante-like actions. "The younger audience can relate to the actions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because they are modern-age heroes, with modern values," senior Scot Mitchell said. "I don't think many college students went (to see the movie) because they admire the turtles or what they stand for." While the crowds at the showing of the movie were not sell-outs, they did bring in audiences of thousands. The Ninja Turtles are not the only example of a modern day hero with modern values. In 1989, the film Batman was released, and became a smash hit. It was very popular among young adults. While these comic book characters abound in the mass media, some students see heroic qualities in real people. "My hero, or a person I admire is Maya Angelou because she does not hold the whole human race responsible for the problems she has faced," senior Amy Graham said. Events or qualities are other things students use to determine what they consider heroes. "I think that a hero is someone who is quietly honest..., courageous and responsible," sophomore Neal Clark said. "I have a brother who is in the Navy and has served in the Persian Gulf. To me he is a hero." Everyone has a different idea of what a hero should be. Some emulate their professors. Others admire those who have made specific accomplishments in their lifetime such as Neil Armstrong's landing on the moon. Heroes not only serve as someone to look up to, but they make our own goals seem a little more tangible. It is always easier to accomplish something once we see it can be done. -Mike Blumenkemper GRADS underclassmen 175 (Page 176) Finding a quiet study area, freshman Karen Mosher and Jonathan Simmons study together in Centennial Lounge.

Carla Stephens, fr. friends inseperable despite college It has been said that the friends you make in college will be your friends for life, but some students have braved high school, junior high and even grade school together. Eventually, they managed to make it to Northeast together. Juniors Mike James and Dave Sprick first met when they went to Rosary High School together in St. Louis. "I first met Mike when we were freshmen in high school," Sprick said. "We started to hang out and eventually became best friends by the end of high school. We even roomed together our freshman year of college." Sometimes living together in college after being best friends in high school can cause a friendship to crumble because the people involved do not know what to expect from living together, but Sprick and James made the transition with few problems. "Dave and I didn't have a problem with living together," James said. "Because we hung out so much in high school, living together wasn't much different. We even joined the same fraternity." Some friendships formed before high school. Juniors Michelle Sharpless and Kristin Rossberg have know each other since their junior high days. "We've known each other since the 8th grade," Rossberg said. "We would be together at school, and then go out after school and hang around together the rest of the day. I'm surprised we never got sick of each other." Although they have shared many good times together they have also had to deal with some bad times. "I remember one time in high school when Michelle and I were at a party and it got so packed that the cops came to bust it up," Rossberg said. "They took us down to the police station and we had to call my mom. I didn't get into a whole lot of trouble, but Michelle was grounded for a long time." It may seem like high school was years ago, but a few rare Northeast students have managed to remain friends through puberty, crushes, and their first love. Seniors Angie Howard and Lisa Tull first met in the first grade, strangely enough, they have not outgrown their friendship. In fact, they have even remained roommates for all four years of college. "I remember moving in (our freshman year). We planned the whole room together and our parents came to help us," Howard said. "They were fussing around with everything all day and when they left, we just turned to each other and said 'They're gone!'." Even though their friendship has survived four years college, they have had their ups and downs. "We get on each other's nerves, but it was much worse at first. We're never mad for long," Tull said. After facing the bad times, the pair remind themselves of the good times that have kept their friendship going. "We had a lot of fun in high school," Tull said. "I especially remember the band trips and speech trips we took." -Jeff Sohn GRADS friends 183 (Page 184) Showing off his talents, George Winston plays a tune on his guitar during a Lyceum.

While it may be hard to see some of them doing anything else, many members of the faculty had other jobs before coming here. Jack Hart, assistant professor of communications, said his job as Assistant East Coast Director for Arista Records gave him many experiences to pass on to students. "My experiences there were real relevant to what I teach now," Hart said. "I can teach them public relations and talk to them about how it works in the real world with real people." Hart said he was able to meet many people through his job that became personal friends, including the late Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joan Jett, and the members of ZZ Top. Another example is Scott Fouch, assistant professor of accounting, who worked for the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse in St. Louis. Fouch said he uses his experiences from that job to help teach students. "Hopefully, I use my experiences there in every class," Fouch said. Johnny Langley, assistant professor of communications, was once a state and district court judge in Alabama and said there are benefits to being a teacher. "I think it helps you stay young," Langley said. "You have to stay up and always be creative." If the jobs the teachers had were so interesting, why did they decide to leave them and come here? Fouch said the decision was an easy one for him. "Dr. Dager called me up and made me an offer I couldn't refuse," Fouch said. "Also, I liked St. Louis, but I didn't want to live there because it was too big and Kirksville is a nice size." Hart said he made the decision because of some of the advantages it had to offer. "There are times when you have to make choices, and Kenneth Burke said that choice can be tragic, but I think that's only if you make the wrong one," Hart said. "There are advantages to each choice, but one of them with this job is that I know how much I'll be making next year and that's helpful." Some of the teachers said the hardest part of the choice did not involve changing jobs. "It wasn't really hard to make the transition," Fouch said. "It was harder going from there (Price Waterhouse) back to school." Even though they had interesting jobs before, all of the teachers agreed that there is one thing the others could not offer. "It's nice to be able to influence students and get them excited about a topic," Fouch said. Langley said he feels a certain responsibility as a teacher. "As a student, I knew that some of my professors had never been in a newsroom in their lives," Langley said. "My students should know that with me, it's not out of a book, I've been there and can tell them what it's like." -Tony Hawley GRADS instructor's past jobs 191 (Page 192) Talking with senior Heather McKeever, Karen Cannon of the Public Relations office scans a form.

The 'Dogs dominated the expanded MIAA tourney finishing 27 strikes ahead of second-place Pittsburg State (Kan.). Four new teams were at the conference tournament for a total of eight. "Every year it gets more difficult to win," Coach Bill Richerson said. "l was very proud of the team. They played well mentally and physically and really wanted to be conference champs." All-American Dan Mulhearn outplayed everyone to win the MIAA individual title. Junior Sqott Sandfort placed fourth while senior Tim Albers tied for eighth. Both Mulhearn and Sandfort received all-district accolades. "With three of us in the top ten, I believe it was more of a team effort this year than in previous years," Sandfort said. The squad had to work through a midseason slump but pulled together to defend their conference title. "We came together at the right time," junior Shannon Hosick said. '[It's nice to be a part of a winning tradition." At the NCAA Division II tourney, the squad placed a disappointing 17th after finishing 14th in 1989. "It was a very challenging course and Dan had a bad round," Richerson said. "I really felt Dan could have been in the top five at nationals." Despite the disappointing tie for 55th place, Mulhearn enjoyed a distinguished career during his four years as a Bulldog golfer. He was 17th in last year's national championship, was a MIAA first-place medalist twice and collected All-District honors three times. The 'Dogs experienced something new last spring as they teamed up with the Lady Bulldogs golf squad in the first Co-Ed Collegiate Golf Tournament in Springfield (Mo.). Overall, Richerson said his team had good chemistry and senior leadership in Mulhearn and Albers. "They made the other members play well," Richerson said. "When your players play up to their capabilities and beyond, that is very satisfying to a coach." Richerson received MIAA and All-District Coach of the Year honors for the spring 1990 season. -Kathy Lewis photo by Ray Jagger Practicing his swing for an upcoming tournament, senior Tim Albers, hopes to make it to the NCAA Division II Championship Tournament.

(Page 199) Getting into the swing of things Striving team uni-tee When the Lady Bulldog golf team started playing the 1990 season, the team had one goal - to qualify for nationals. The team placed fifth in the 1990 Women's National Golf Coach's Association Tournament in Amherst, Mass. The leading player for the Bulldogs, senior D'Anne Gross, won fifth place with a final tournament score of 244, the highest score ever for an NMSU player in the Women's NGCA championship. She also earned All-American honors for the second straight year. "D'Anne is extremely competitive," Coach Sam Lesseig said, "Once she made up her mind, she kept that." Sophomore Mary O'Connor placed 24th with an average of 87.6, followed by freshmen Nicole Barth, Karin Moore and Brenda Morris. "We played fairly successful scoring very close to what we did the previous year," Lesseig said. "It was challenging to the freshmen to perform well at first, but they did." Just before the national tournament, O'Connor stretched the ligament in her right ankle and was unable to walk without crutches. Lesseig said team unity was necessary for success. "Golf is a very funny sport," dogs, senior D Anne Gross, won Lesseig said. "It requires a person to play for themselves, but at the same time, it requires them to play as a whole team," he said. photo by Roy Jagger Concentration is the key to any swing for senior D'Anne Gross. Gross played at the leading position for the team and made all-American honors for a second consecutive season. During the fall season she was a three-time medalist, including National Championships, placing seventh. Her spring average was 82.7, and her fall average was 81.

Curves thrown their way With only one senior and a new coach, the young Bulldog softball team had several challenges to overcome going into the 1990 season. Landing three members on the all-conference list and posting a 17-18 record to finish just one game below .500 was great, said Coach Dan Zimmer. Freshman catcher Vicki Dennington was named to the MIAA second team, while junior Trish Horn and freshman Anne Moe earned honorable mentions. "I was pleased with the season, considering our pitching statistics were at the bottom of the MIAA," Zimmer said. "It was not an individual pitcher, but it was just that our team ERA wasn't low enough. But one game under .500 was good, considering our pitching." In his first season as coach of the Lady Bulldogs, Zimmer was unsure how to pull together the team into the unified group they woould have to be to succeed. "Not knowing any of the players or what they could do; not knowing their softball skills or knowing them as people, I didn't know where to put them in the lineup or how to treat them," Zimmer said. Zimmer enjoyed the season and noticed few differences between male and female athletes. "I enjoyed working with the girls," Zimmer said. "Not to sound sexist, but I found out that you try to treat them the same as you would working with a guy. There's not that much difference between men and women. They're all just athletes." Dennington said unity was the key to the team's success. "As a team, we grew closer and that helps for next year," Dennington said. "It is so important for a team to get along. Coach Zimmer kept us going. There were times when he was angry but he would always crack us up." Despite some tough losses and rough days, the Lady 'Dogs met their team goal of playing tough as a team and having a good time competing, said Zimmer. "Pitching was our weakest point, without a doubt," Zimmer said. "Our youth was not as big of a factor. We concentrated on working together and team unity. We were learning about each other." Horn felt the team's inexperience hurt the squad at first, but was less of a factor as the season progressed. "I basically think we were a very young team," Horn said. "By the end, we were playing well." Dennington felt the team's hitting also hurt the team. "Our hitting as a team wasn't that great" Dennington said. "We went in spurts." Two conference opponents provided both the high and low points for the season. One of the Lady 'Dogs best games came in an extra-innings win against Northwest Missouri State University (Maryville). "That victory over Northwest was probably our best all season," Zimmer said. "It was a come- from-behind win, where we tied it up in the final inning to send it into extra-innings. It went nine innings but, we finally won." Junior Sheila Means said that injuries put a damper on the season. "It was disappointing because we had a lot of talent," Means said. "But injuries hurt us in the long run. It (the season) was really fun, but with our talent we should have played better." Despite the bad weather, cold hitting and fielding streaks plagued the Lady 'Dogs all season. Horn said the team has a lot to look forward to next season. "It was a learning experience," Horn said. "I think that we had our bad and our high points, but overall it was a good experience." 200 sports (Page 201) Covering all bases Softball Overall Record 17-18 West Florida 0-1 West Florida 2-3 Southwest State (Minn.) 6-0 Southwest State (Minn.) 6-4 Saginaw Valley 1-3 Saginaw Valley 2-7 Saginaw Valley 5-6 Quincy College (Ill.) 2-1 Quincy College (Ill.) 0-2 Culver-Stockton 4-1 Culver-Stockton 11-0 Central Missouri State 6-1 Lincoln University 6-4 College of St. Mary 1-10 Oklahoma Baptist 4-3 Grand View College 2-1 Pittsburg State (Kan.) 0-7 Central Missouri State 7-5 Missouri Southern St. College 5-6 Lincoln University 5-6 Central Missouri State 9-2 Missouri Western St. College 0-1 Northwest Missouri State 10-1 Washburn University (Kan.) 0-7 Washburn University (Kan.) 0-3 Oklahoma City University 0-5 Northwest Missouri State 6-5 William Jewell 10-7 Washburn University (Kan.) 1-8 Missouri Western St. College 1-4 Quincy College (Ill.) 5-1 Quincy College (Ill.) 4-0 Southwest Baptist University 2-1 Missouri Southern St. College 0-7 Central Missouri State 0-2 photo by Lori Nix Cutting off the path to home plate and positioning herself to make the tag is freshman Vicki Dennington.

Horn, a returning letter winner and co-captain, made the all-MIAA team for the third year in a row, earning an honorable mention. She helped lead the team to a 17-18 record. "Trisha led by example," Lillygren said. "She is not outspoken, but has high ideals for what should be done." Head Coach Dan Zimmer gave Horn praise. "We could not do without her more than anyone else on the team," Zimmer said. "She does her job and gets about her business. As a team player, her nice and positive attitude really helps the team." photo by Dan Zimmer Front row: Tricia Lillygren, Dawn Bohnenstiehl. Vicki Dennington, Shelly Frazier. Julie Bastin.

Tucker performed well offensively for the Dogs, with a .262 batting average and 11 runs batted in. The team ended the season 12-26. Chad Kerr led the inning off with a single and stole second. He eventually came around and scored putting the Bulldogs ahead. They were only three outs away from upsetting the fourth ranked team in the nation, Northwest Missouri State University. However, in the top half of the seventh, Northwest came back and tied the game to eventually win in the ninth inning by a score of 7-6. This game could easily be branded as a typical Northeast baseball game. The team finished the year with a 12-26 record and of those 26 losses, eleven of them were by one run. "Last year proved that we can play with the best," rightfielder Chad Kerr said. "Last year showed a lot of people that we are competitive and not really a bad team." There were many fine individual performances on the team during the season. Senior Darin Koch had a good season with a .291 batting average and led the team in doubles, walks and runs. Kerr also had a good year with a .305 batting average. He set a new school record for stolen bases, stealing 16 by the end of the season. One of the strongest performances on the team came from freshman Todd Schmitt. Schmitt played catcher, first baseman and designated hitter to lead the team in five offensive categories: home runs, runs batted in, hits, slugging percentage and batting average. Schmitt was one of three NMSU players who received recognition on the 1990 MIAA allconference list. Schmitt was on the second team as the utility player and Koch and Kerr received honorable mention. Schmitt said it was exciting to be named to the team but he would rather have a winning season. "All the awards in the world don't mean much when your team only wins a third of its games," Schmitt said. First year coach, Kirby Cannon, was fairly pleased with his team's performance, despite the fact they had a losing record. "When I took over as coach, so many people told me that I would be lucky to win three or four games, so I guess I'm kind of happy to win as many as we did," Cannon said. Cannon said he does not like to lose and expects his team to improve next year. "With the team having lost only a few players, the quality of the returning players and the newcomers which have arrived on the scene, I expect this team to be extremely successful," Cannon said. -Greg Orcar 202 sports (Page 203) Reaching for Home Baseball Overall Record 12-26 Henderson State (Ark.) 5-6 Arkansas Tech. 6-7 Arkansas Tech. 5-8 Central Arkansas 4-5 Central Arkansas 1-6 Southwest Baptist 6-11 Southwest Baptist 12-11 School of Ozarks 4-5 School of Ozarks 5-7 Lincoln University 7-0 Lincoln University 14-3 Missouri-Rolla 13-9 Missouri-Rolla 5-4 Quincy College (Ill.) 3-6 Quincy College (Ill.) 4-5 Central Missouri State 5-10 Central Missouri State 1-16 Northwest Missouri State 6-7 Northwest Missouri State 6-27 Missouri Western 3-4 Missouri Western 5-2 Washburn University (Kan.) 1-15 Washburn University (Kan.) 3-5 Culver-Stockton 6-7 Culver-Stockton 8-2 University of Missouri 0-10 Central Missouri State 1-5 Central Missouri State 3-10 Quincy College (Ill.) 1-5 Quincy College (Ill.) 4-5 Northwest Missouri State 2-3 Northwest Missouri State 3-4 Missouri Western 2-1 Missouri Western 8-4 Culver-Stockton 10-0 Culver-Stockton 6-0 Washburn University (Kan.) 9-10 Washburn University (Kan.) 3-7 An opposing baserunner slides safely into first as sophomore first baseman Mike Sundet waits for the ball. photo by Ray Jagger Charlie Gavin was one of Northeast's top pitchers last year. Gavin led the team in complete games (5), innings pitched (47), strikeouts (26) and was also tied for the team lead in wins (3) and games started (8). "He's one of our most consistent pitchers," said outfielder Chad Kerr. "We could always count on Charlie to keep us close," said Kerr. "Charlie was a key team leader," said pitcher Ed Martinson. "He set a good example for the other guys with a good work ethic and he also was always encouraging the other players to do their best," said Martinson. Gavin is a senior mathematics major from Peoria, Illinois where he attended Spalding Institute High School. Gavin is also the punter for the team. photo by Ray Jagger With complete concentration, sophomore Jeff Riggenbach prepares to swing. Of the 26 losses, eleven of them were by one run.

Willing played the number one seed in singles and doubles matches and finished with 7-11 and 6-10 records respectively. A tough schedule and an inexperienced team led to a 5-12 dual record for the men's tennis team. The squad played the 1990 season with only one senior and one junior, having lost their top four players from the 1989 campaign. Despite the disappointing record, many positives came out of the season. "With all the new players we had, we spent some time just getting adjusted to the college game," head coach Ramiro Azcui said. "This was almost like training. Our mentality was to work harder and gain experience for the 1991 season. By the end of the year though, we were beating peoples weren't supposed to." The Bulldogs started off the year slow by going 0-5 in duals, losing four of those matches by a score of 4-5. Freshman Todd Willing led the Bulldogs in singles competition with a 12-6 mark at No. 4 singles. Older brother Timmer Willing played the No. 1 singles spot and finished at 7-11. His senior campaign typified the ups and downs experienced by the team. "I was really inconsistent," Willing said. "I would play well and beat a really good player and then turn around and lose to a nobody the next day." Willing lost his final match in the MIAA tournament to a player who went on to nationals. Willing had defeated that player a week earlier. The men's team ended the year on a good note, finishing third in the MlAA tournament. A mark equaling the 1989 finish. "The team gelled together towards the end and we're all good friends so that helped," freshman Oliver Nussbaum said. "The experience should help for next year." "I was satisfied with our year," Azcui said. "We had a hard time getting started but the guys kept battling and refused to give up." -Mike Easdale 204 sports (Page 205) Game set match Men's Tennis Overall Record 5-12 Texas A & I 4-5 Incarnate Word (Texas) 4-5 St. Mary's (Texas) 4-5 Texas Lutheran 4-5 Baker University (Kan.) 1-8 Missouri (Columbia) 6-2 Creighton University (Neb.) 2-6 Missouri-Kansas City 2-7 Central College (Iowa) 9-0 St. Ambrose (Iowa) 1-8 Culver-Stockton 8-1 William Jewell 8-1 Graceland (Iowa) 1-7 Missouri-St. Louis 9-0 Northwest Missouri 1-8 Washburn University 0-6 Southwest Baptist 1-8 MIAA Tournament Third Closing in on the ball, sophomore Jay Selkirk keeps the ball in sight as he prepares for the volley. photo by Lori Nix As a freshman, Todd Willing was one of the only players on the men's tennis team to compile a .500 or better record of 13-6 at fourth seed. "He showed not only to himself, but to the whole team that he is a tough competitor," Head Coach Ramiro Azcui said. "With the years of experience he stands to gain in upcoming years, he will only get better and better." Azcui feels that Todd is an all-around exemplary individual. "As an individual player he is a very hard working man," Azcui said. "He never complains and always does what he's told. His talent carries him in whatever he does, both on the court and off. He always tries to do the best he can." photo by Ray Jagger Front Row: Trainer Erin Toot. Geoff Selkirk. Oliver Nussbaum, Jay Selkirk, Todd Willing, Adam Cleary Row 2: Steve Bell.

It was the Lady Bulldogs' first year under Ramiro Azcui, who guided them to an overall record of 16-6, improving from 12-10 during 1989. "I thought it went excellent for being my first year," Azcui said. "It was the start of a new era for us as a nationally-ranked team." Sophomore Chris Murphy said the team felt the transition went well. "He (Azcui) made the transition smooth for us as well as for him, so that helped us to be successful," Murphy said. Another highlight for the team was when junior Bertha Hernandez became the first women's tennis player from NMSU to participate in the NCAA Division II Championships. "It was great to be able to go to nationals," Hernandez said. "I was really proud to be the first one form the University to go. The team's results helped me a lot because when they select people to go to nationals, they look at what you did and then how the team did" Hernandez finished the season with in 18-5 record at the No. 1 singles spot and was one of only 32 players to be selected to play in the tournament. "It was a highlight of the season to have someone on the team go to nationals," Azcui said. "It let people know that Northeast exists in tennis." -Tony Hawley photo by Lori Nix Giving it her all, senior Diane Karl, works on improving her backhand.

"There's no other lady that works harder than Betty," Head Coach Ramiro Azcui said. "She always stays and does extra work. Sometimes we stay 30-40 minutes after regular practice and work one on one." According to Azcui, Hernandez's hard work never ended. "She always wants to improve and is never happy with her performance," Azcui said. "She really decided she wanted to do the best she could, and even though she went to nationals, I still don't think she's reached her highest potential."

Hayward qualified for the National Outdoor Division II Championships in the discus, shot put and hammer, taking third in the discus and fourth in the shot put. The outdoor track season proved successful for both the men's and women's teams with the men qualifying four and the women three for the national meet. "It was really exciting to have four individuals go and all four of them qualify as all-Americans," Men's Head Coach Ed Schneider said. "We wound up sixteenth as a team based on the points those individuals scored. The only team that beat us from our conference was Southeast Missouri." Seniors Rich Hayward and Mark Collier, and juniors Steve Danner and Matt Candrl were the national qualifiers. Danner and Candrl placed fifth and seveneth in the decathlon, while Collier placed seventh in the shot put. Hayward qualified in the discus, slot and hammer, placing third in the discus and fourth in the shot put. "I was happy to qualify in three events," Hayward said. "Plus I learned a lot. Especially how hard it compete in three events. It's draining both mentally and physically." The women's team qualified Senior Kerry Knepper (10,000 maters), and juniors Stacy Roberds (High jump) and Saundra Hester (400 meter-hurdles). Hester captured first, Knepper second and Roberts seventh. These standings gave the girls their highest placing finish ever at tenth place. "Being my first outdoor national appearance, I wasn't really happy with my performance," Roberts said. "One of my biggest goals was to get all-American honors and I did that, but it's kind of hard to feel good about that when you don't do as well as you thought you could." Both teams succeeded in the MIAA Outdoor Championships with a fourth place for the men and third for the women. "We had hoped to be competitive for the outdoor championships since we'd won the indoor," Women's Head Coach John Cochrane said. "We had a pretty good meet but we lacked in the field events with only 16 of the some 150 points coming from that area." Schneider felt the MIAA Championship was the season highlight for his team. "Our goal is to always do well at conference and hopefully win," Schneider said. "I really felt that every individual that competed at the meet gave it a 100 percent effort. It was really exciting to see them run, jump, and throw at peak levels." -Traci Weaver 208 sports (Page 209) Picking up the pace photo by Lori Nix Members of the women's track team utilize the football field for warmups.

"She had a lot to do with us being competitive just because of her attitude," Cochrane said. "Kaestner was restricted by injuries in previous years, but still kept up the competitive attitude. She's very dedicated and gave 100 percent even when she didn't feel like it," junior Tonja Begman said. "She knew what she wanted and would work as hard as she had to get it." Kaestner played a key role as a team player too. "She'd do anything possible to help the team," junior Marsha Perkins said. photo by Lori Nix Being careful to stretch out before running, junior Saundra Hester placed first in national competition in the 400 hurdles. In the MIAA, she placed second in the 440-yard dash and fourth in the 60-yard hurdles indoors and second in the 400-meters, third in the 400-meter hurdles and fifth in the 110-meter hurdles at the outdoor championships. outdoor track 209 (Page 210) photo by Ray Jagger Front row: Kipp Chillag, Pat Zerwig, Glenn Jacobs, Chris Cannon, Lynn Mergen, Dan Paic.

History in the making taking The football team turned what was supposed to be a rebuilding year into a dream season, finishing 9-2 and making the NCAA Division II playoffs for only the second time in school history. The season began with a new coach and the team on MIAA probation for cash payments made to players during the 1989 season. The team was then rocked when junior defensive end Derringer Cade collapsed and died during a mid season game. But the team used these adverse circumstances as a springboard to prove the preseason prognosticators wrong. After dropping the season opener to Pittsburg State University (Kan.) 64-30 on Nov. 1, the Bulldogs won nine straight games to charge into post-season play. Following the opening loss, Northeast came home to face the University of Missouri-Rolla. After falling behind 17-14 at half-time, the 'Dogs stormed back to tie the game and won it on a 15- yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Jeff Frost to sophomore wide receiver Marcus McCoy with 29 seconds left. The defense was the key to the Bulldogs victory over Washburn University (Topeka, Kan.) the next week, with a 44-17 victory. The next game saw the Bulldogs travel to Bolivar, Mo. to face Southwest Baptist University. Northeast was leading 13-3 with 4:31 remaining in the game when Cade collapsed on the sideline and died about an hour later at Citizens Memorial Hospital in Bolivar after attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. An autopsy performed at General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital listed the cause of death as idiomatic hypertropic cardiomyopathy, an uncommon heart condition that causes a thickening of wall muscles in the heart between the left and right ventricles. Head Coach Eric Holm said the impact Cade made off the field was just as big as the one he made on it. "He never had a cross word to say to anyone," Holm said. "He had respect for everyone, and people like that tend to stand out." Despite the feeling of loss, the team voted to play the next week in a Parent's Day encounter with Missouri Southern State College (Joplin), and tamed the Lions 25-3. The victory moved the 'Dogs record to 4-1 going into an encounter with Central Missouri State University (Columbus, Ohio). Northeast scored 22 points in the fourth quarter, including 15 in the last five minutes, to pull off a miraculous 43-42 victory. The team avoided any signs of a letdown the next week, trouncing Southeast Missouri State University (Cape Girardeau) 26-7. The Bulldogs then came home for a Homecoming game against Northwest Missouri State University (Maryville). Frost shredded the Bearcat defense for 301 yards and four touchdowns in a thrilling 34-41 win. The 'Dogs used a stellar team defensive game to shut out Missouri Western State College (St. Joseph) 21-0 the next week. Northeast closed out the regular season with a 13-3 victory over Central Missouri State University (Warrensburg). The win clinched them a spot in post-season play for the first time since 1982. Their first-round opponent was a familiar one, though. The Bulldogs had to return to Pittsburg State, where they lost the season opener 64-30. The players and coaches expressed confidence on their chances going into the game, but Pitt State embarrassed the Bulldogs 59-3. Despite the loss, the season was a big success, as the 'Dogs were ranked ninth in the final Division II poll, and placed 15 players on the 1990 All-MIAA team, including five on the first team.

It was a season of highlughts for the men's soccer team, as they achieved on their dreams. Posting a 13-4-1. record and earning 10th place in the final NCAA Division II national rankings, the Bulldogs topped off the best season in school history by gaining a berth in the NCAA Division II national tournament. The season of highlights was slightly overshadowed by the final game, the tournament match-up between the 'Dogs and the Pioneers of Oakland University (Mich.) on Nov. 11. Despite the freezing temperature and snow in Michigan, the 'Dogs battled to a 1-1 overtime tie with Oakland. The 'Dogs trailed at the half, but senior Pat Rhode scored with 17 minutes left in regulation time to tie the contest. The 'Dogs and Pioneers then played two 15 minute overtime periods, after which the score was still tied. A winner was determined to advance to the second round, on a 10 penalty kick shootout, with each team taking five shots. NMSU lost 4-1 in the shootout, with only freshman Dave Roberts converting on the free kicks. Oakland was credited with team goal for winning the shootout, giving them the win and berth in the second round. Looking back over the season, senior Corey Waters thinks that the tournament game will be what he and the team remember most about the season. "I'll always remember (the team) I making it to the tournament Waters said. "It was a well- played game, about as good as you could ask for. It was almost a perfect game. But it was a bad way to end the playoff game with the shootout." Head Coach Dave Poggi thought the situation and the reality of being in the tournament affected the team's performance during the game. "The realization for the team was that post-season play was something that we'd had all kinds of preconceived ideas about and that it was an abstract thought for us was also a key factor," Poggi said. "Actually being there, the way the game was played reinforced those ideas. For the first part of the game we were playing like we were watching the game on TV, not knowing what to expect." At the beginning of the season, Poggi felt the team had a number of obstacles to overcome to achieve a successful season. "There was the big question of a potential lack of goal scoring, due to the graduation of (all-time leading scorers) Sean Marlowe and Quinn Ross," Poggi said. "We were looking at a lot of new and untested faces defensively, and we were lacking in overall team speed and we were facing, undoubtedly, one of the toughest Division II schedules in the country. Obviously, we were able to overcome these things, and for the players who graduate and for those who return, this season will be an experience they will never forget." Waters felt the team pulled together, both on and off the field, to achieve their success and overcome the obstacles. "We (the team) were pretty close off the field," Waters said. "It helped a lot, we got along really well, and we pulled together." This was the fifth-consecutive winning season for the 'dogs, and the team posted the best record in school history, surpassing the 14-6-1 finish in 1987. Poggi will have some big shoes to fill, as five seniors ended their careers in 1990. Brian Taylor finished his career with 31 goals, placing him third on the list of career scorers. Pat Rhode was named to the all-Midwest, all-American team for the second consecutive year. Also named to the all-Midwest team was junior goalkeeper Stefan Wall, as he added to the list of school records he holds. Wall broke both the single season and career records for shutouts. He had eight shutouts, bringing his career total to 22. Joining Rhode and Wall on the all-Midwest lists were junior Claus Olsen and sophomore Matt Presley, who led the 'Dogs in scoring with six goals and two assists. -M.L.

"He was one of our captains, so he kind of had to act as a balancing act for the team," Poggi said. "Anytime you have a team of very talented people, they tend to become very individualistic and Brian kind of bridged that for us." Vahlkamp's overall attitude was described very positively by Poggi. "He had a level headed approach to not only the season, but to the sport as well," Poggi said. "At the same time he was able to keep it all in the perspective of a college student. His personality as well as his efforts will really be missed with his graduation." photo by Kristine Werner Freshman midfielder Mark Lichfield heads this shot a way from a defender.

The Lady 'Dogs were challenged all season by a host of nationally-ranked opponents. They posted several triumphs in 1990, including a 2-0 victory over nationally-ranked Metropolitan State (Colo.) and a thrashing of Division I opponent, Louisville. The losses were tough, but they came at the hands of some of the top teams in NCAA women's soccer, including Barry (Fla.), last year's national champion, Xavier, a ranked Division I opponent, and Quincy (Ill.), a long-time NMSU rival. "I think the toughest loss to take was the Xavier game," sophomore Kathy Corson said. "It was a tough game and they won on a goal we scored for them. We could have beaten them." Losing to Quincy was the loss that stuck in head coach Alvaro Duran's mind most. "They were a team that were even with us," Duran said. "They scored just too many goals and really beat us." Also hindering the team were a host of untimely injuries, which kept Some of the top performers in the lineup, on the sidelines for most of the season. "Having a lot of injuries was one of the most frustrating things for the team," Duran said. "Not being able to have a full team hurt, and it may have played a real role in the final record." Despite all that was against them, the Lady 'Dogs performed well, climbing as high as 10th in the NCAA Division II national rankings during the season. "I don't think the injuries hurt as much," Corson said. "We had a lot of bench players who came in and played very well. I think what hurt us most was that we did a lot of traveling and although we played better on the road than we have, we really struggled at home, which is something that we didn't do last year." Three seniors ended their careers in 1990. Senior forwards Christi Phoebus, Shawna Putnam and Stacy Erickson were key players during their careers with the 'Dogs. Putnam was a threetime All- American regional selection and was named to the first team in 1989. Erickson was hampered most of the season with a knee injury, while Phoebus started 14 games and served as a tricaptain for the 1990 squad. "They brought the program up," Duran said. "They were the starters in the program's turnaround. We owe them a lot and their time and effort are appreciated. They serve as a good example for anyone who is starting from the bottom and building a program up." The Lady 'Dogs played one of the toughest schedules in Division II soccer but Duran and Corson think that gives next season a bright outlook. "I thought it was better to play better teams," Corson said. "That's the only way to make improvements. It will really help this coming year when we play teams equal to us in strength." Several top players will return next fall, including Corson, 1990s leading scorer. Also returning will be sophomore goalkeeper Janet Larson. Several promising freshmen will be hoping to improve on their debut seasons, including Richele Landa, who was second in team scoring, Susana Mendoza and Amy Mangles. "They (the team) gained a lot of experience with this schedule that will pay off in the long run," Duran said. "The team was young, mostly freshmen and sophomores, playing the most competitive teams in the nation. If nothing else, we gained a lot of experience and developed respect for those teams." Although the women's soccer team looks to face some of the same tough competitors next season, Duran feels their experiences this year will benefit them. -M.L.

"Her experience of being a student athlete is a big asset to the whole program," Duran said. "Performance wise, she's definitely one of our leaders in the pack." Duran complimented Elliott as an athlete and as a friend. "She's a friend to everyone," Duran said. "She's also a top athlete.

The squad posted an unprecedented 34-10 over-all record and a third-place tie at the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championships. The Lady 'Dog's third-place tie proved the conference wrong after coaches picked Northeast to finish eighth in the preseason poll. "We knew we were a better team than that," Head Coach Debbie Masten said. "We had the talent and the belief that we could beat anyone." Strong leadership and a secret weapon were keys to the Lady Bulldog's winning three tournaments, Masten said. "Freshman Satoko Miaymae was a pleasant surprise and the senior leadership really showed," Masten said. The season was full of highlights despite the team being plagued by injuries and even having a minor traffic accident on the a Denver tournament. Five Lady Bulldogs earned some type of All-MIAA honors. Senior setter Nancy Hoerner landed on the first-team all-conference list, while sophomore middle hitter Anne Moe and freshman litter Miyamae made the second team. Receiving honorable mention laurels were senior hitter Anne Bloom junior middle hitter Ann Goliday and junior hitter Shelley Picha. "We got a taste for success that was contagious," Bloom said. "We had fun and Bell (Miyame) helped a lot and we had good freshmen." Miyamae, a native of Osaka, Japan, played on the 1984 and 1988 Japanese Olympic teams. She was also chosen as the MIAA Freshman of the Year. Miyamae was named conference Player of the Week during the season, along with Hoerner and Picha. "It was a great year to remember," Hoerner said. "We had a lot of team unity and confidence. It will be hard to leave." In tight situations, the team was able to pull through with help from the non-starters. "We had some players come through and play some key roles," Masten said. "Felicia Sutton was able to take over for an injured Ann Goliday. Dawn Ricketts came in and played when Bell was hurt and did a great job." The Lady Bulldogs started the year off strong hoping to gain steam heading into the conference championships. At mid-season, the squad was on a 13 game winning streak. The streak was halted, however, by a tough Southwestern Texas team. The loss was only their fourth and Lady 'Dogs were able to get back on track and defeat their next four opponents. Going into the MIAA Championship, the squad was the fourth seed and hoped to improve on last season's dismal seventh-place finish. The Lady Bulldogs were able to defeat Washburn for the third time in the season but lost to last year's champion Central Missouri State University who went on to win the event. The Lady 'Dogs were the first team in eight years to win a game from Central in the conference championships. Looking toward next season, Masten said she has crucial leadership spots to fill with the vacancies left by Bloom and Hoerner. Overall, she said the squad will have another great year. "We should contend for the top spot in the conference and we're looking to break into the top 20 in the nation," Masten said. -Kathy Lewis photo by Kristine Wemer Sophomore Anne Moe and senior Anne Bloom attempt to block a defenders spike, while Freshman Satoko Miyamae waits for the ball.

"She kept the team motivated and together," Masten said. "Her experience through the years led us to conference this year." Masten was quick to point out that Nancy's family was always a mainstay for the entire team. "She not only gave to the team, but her parents did as well," Masten said. "Her parents were so important that we probably couldn't have played had they not been in the stands." "Every year that I lose a senior, I don't think I'll ever be able to replace that individual, and Nancy is one of those people."

Schneider said many of the runners lad their best races at the end of the season. "I really thought they made tremendous progress," Schneider said. "We started out kind of slow, but just seemed to get better each meet. I was really pleased with the way the team competed all the way through." The team's highlights this year were their 2nd place showing at the MlAA Conference meet and their 3rd place finish at the regional meet. They missed qualifying for nationals by one place. "The team did well overall," Schneider said. "They kept improving throughout the season." Schneider cited the runners' attitudes as a major contributing factor in the team's success. "Thie athletes never got discouraged," Schneider said. "They always worked hard and made themselves into a tough team." It takes a special kind of person to be able to dedicate himself to the time and effort it takes to be a successful cross-country runner. The runners had to train hard over the summer in order to be prepared for the tough season ahead. "We had a good season," senior Stan Johnson said. "We had hoped to do a little better than we dig, but we had a young team, so I think they'll improve next year. They're hoping to get some good recruits next year." The team's mileage ranged from 75-80 miles a week at the beginning of the season, to 55-60 miles a week as the more important races drew nearer. The runners often had to run in both the morning and the evening. "Early in the season, most of us were expecting the hard work ahead, mostly because we were used to it," Johnson said. "We knew we had to come into the season in pretty good shape. We were all hoping to have a good season, so we worked hard during the summer, too." Schneider said Johnson and junior Rob Jensen stood out as team leaders. Jensen was the team's number one runner for most of the season. The team not only excelled athletically but academically as well, Schneider said. "It takes a lot of discipline to be successful in a sport like cross country," Schneider said. "That training and competition sometimes carries over in life and into academics as well. They were very strong in that area and I think that is just as important as it is to win competitions and have a good season." -Mitch Ellis & T.

"He came into the season in great shape and the tougher the competition got, the tougher he ran," Schneider said. Jensen's role to the team was one of a very hard working individual, according to Schneider. "Basically, we could really count on him," Schneider said. "He's very dependable. A type of individual you'd like to have 20 more just like him on the team." Cross country runners not only work hard during the season, but in the summer months as well. "The really dedicated ones look for reasons to run and he's that type of individual," Schneider said.

"We went to more difficult than we had in the past. Consequently, we didn't win quite as much as we normally might have," Cochrane said. "Overall, we probably accomplished more than we have in the past." Cochrane said there were many factors that contributed to the team's performance. This year's team had many returning veterans fend quite a few very talented runers. Cochrane said all the runners were well trained. Not only did the team members have the time pressures often placed on athletes, they also had to deal with the school, money and relationship problems that every students faces, Cochrane said. These problems can take their toll on athletic performance. "I think it's (managing) pretty hard," sophomore Amy Zoll said. "But I've managed my time all through high school so I'm pretty used to it. At first it's difficult being away from your parents and home, and them not telling you to 'do your homework, do your homework!'. I've gained a better perspective of how much time I need to spend on each class, and it's certainly gotten easier." Despite these obstacles, the team was able to accomplish quite a lit. They finished second at the conference and regional meets. Several runners received individual honors. Senior Kerry Knepper and sophomores Rhonda Ruden and Christy Rackers were named all conference team members. Knepper and Rogers were also named to the all-regional team. Cochrane said he was particularly pleased with Rackers and junior Debbie Bries performances' because they showed a great improvement over last season. "My season turned out much better than I'd anticipated," Rackers said. "The training I did over the summer really helped out. Also by having experience and knowing the team and what it's like to run in the meets made it much better." "The return of several players next year is one factor that should improve next year's season and strengthen the team as a whole," Cochrane said. "Teamwise, I just hope everyone works really hard over the summer because that's where it counts. You can't catch up if you don't," Ruden said. -Mitch Ellis & T.

Knepper, in fact, is the only woman All-American cross country runner in the history of our school. "She's been a very hard worker and tough competitor over her career here at Northeast," Head Coach John Cochrane said. In all her years as a cross country runner at Northeast, she qualified in the top five of the conference meet four years running. Knepper's role on the team was one of much leadership. "She's been without a doubt a leader all the way through," Cochrane said. "She's grown as a runner here also." women's cross country 221 (Page 222) out of the cellar For the first time in five years, the men's basketball team finished out of the conference cellar and into the playoffs. Despite being picked to finish 11th in the pre-season poll, the Bulldogs rallied from early conference losses to pull out a Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association playoff bid. The 'Dogs, who ended the regular season one game below .500 at 13-14, finished 8th in the league, earning them the final slot in the tournament. Tie season marked the team's best finish since the 1985-86 season when they finished 12-15 and 4th in the conference. The 'Dogs lost that tournament contest to Southwest Baptist, 67-55 Held Coach Willard Sims said the experience was a key factor in the team's success. "The last three years the league has been tougher," Sims said. "The admissions standards have been tough on us. But this year, we've got kids who have played three or four years together as a team and that has been a big difference. We just have more experience." The year was highlighted by senior forward Steve Schieppe becoming the all-time leading scorer for the Bulldogs. Schieppe, who charted (add total career points) points, became the all-time leading scorer with the first basket against Missouri Western in St. Joseph on Jan. 9. Schieppe was concerned more with the game than with the record setting basket. "It was on my mind," Schieppe said. "But I went there to get it over with. It was good to get it out of the way on the first bucket, then I could concentrate on the game." Schieppe closed his career with six school records to his credit, including scoring, career field goals, single-season three-point field goals attempted and single-game three-point field goals made. For his efforts, Schieppe was named to the MIAA second team. Despite all the records, Schieppe never considered himself a real team leader. "I tried to lead by example, by playing well," Schieppe said. "By the time you reach this level, a player should be able to get himself up for a game. I never got very excited, or did a lot of the high fives or other stuff. I tried to be a leader by just playing well, and hopefully that helped (the rest of the team) play better." Looking back on the season, the 'Dogs struggled early on, dropping two key conference games to Missouri-St. Louis, 72-64, and to Missouri Southern, 78-66, in Pershing Arena. "Those losses were really hard to take," Sims said. "We just weren't playing well." But the toughest loss for the team was a 76-74 rematch with Missouri Western at home. The Griffons came to Kirksville ranked second in the NCAA Division II national poll with a 14 game winning streak, but the Bulldogs could taste an upset, and came out tough holding a 43-33 halftime lead. Western battled back, trading the lead with the 'Dogs three times, before putting in a jump shot with four seconds on the clock to win, after running almost 20 seconds off the clock on a questionable play. "Against Western, we knew they were a good team," Schieppe said. "We got more confidence after playing (them) so close. But to lose the way we did on a questionable play, had to be the toughest loss to take." Senior guards Tim Parmeter and Rodney Chilton also capped off their careers. Junior guards Justin Matthews and Boyd Printy earned all-MIAA honorable mention honors, but Schieppe said the team will remember one thing. "Making the playoffs, that has to be the best memory," Schieppe said. - M. L.

Schieppe left NMSU owning six records: career scoring, career field goals, single-season three point field goals, single-season three-point field goals attempted, and single-game three-point field goals made. "He's just one of the types of individuals you'd like to recruit a whole team of," Head Coach Willard Sims said. "He's been a four year starter and letter winner for us. He's had an outstanding career with us and has been an exemplary individual both off and on the court." Sims said Schieppe was very active and instrumental in backing the team and keeping it together. mens basketball 223 (Page 224) Over 500 at last It was a bitter-sweet ending to the 1990-91 Lady Bulldog basketball campaign. Playoff hopes came and went but a 16-10 record remained. For the first time in 10 years, the 'Dogs finished with a winning record. "It was a great tribute to the seniors who helped turn the program around," Head Coach Lois Heeren said. "I was excited for them to be able to end their careers on a successful note." But it was an even greater tribute to Heeren, who finished only her second season as head coach for the Lady Bulldogs. Heeren took a 2-25 team and lead them to a 12-13 record last season and just missed a playoff berth. This year, the Lady Bulldogs started off 7-2 and fought their way to the MIAA post season playoffs only to be knocked out by Missouri-Rolla in the first round. Rilla handed the Lady 'Dogs their worst defeat of the year, 72-52. NMSU tied for fourth in the MIAA after being picked in the preseason poll to finish 10th. "It was very disappointing and frustrating because we were a better team than what we displayed on the floor," Heeren said. "But you have to look back at the year as a whole and it was a great season overall." That game marked the final Lady Bulldog appearance for five players. Senior Angie Gum finished a stellar career at the top of the conference scoring list for the second year in a row. She holds six NMSU records and is third among all-time point producers. Gum was a 1990-91 CoSIDA/ GTE District 7 all-academic, All-American selection. She capped off her career by making the All-Conference first team. Gum chose the Washburn contest as a season highlight. "Beating Washburn really stood out for me because it was the first time that we'd beaten them," Gum said. "It was really a big thrill. As far as next year goes, I think they'll be strong contenders." Senior Felicia Sutton also made the MIAA first team and holds three school records. Sutton is the all-time leading rebounder and second in scoring and steals. Sutton lead the league in rebounding for two seasons. "We pulled together as a unit and played the best ball we'd ever played," Sutton said. "I hope that will reflect on the freshmen." Senior Susan Theroff was named to the MIAA honorable- mention squad. Theroff holds eight records including most points scored in a game at 37, and is the all-time assists leader. "After being ranked so low in pre-season, we sort of had a mission," Theroff said. "And tying for fourth, I think we gained respect." Also graduating with strong career performances are seniors Mindy Norris and Brenda Reiling. Reiling is second in career field goal average. Returning to next season's squad will be MIAA honorable-mention Shelley Picha and junior Kathy Russett, along with two strong freshman, Robin Serocke and Teresa Wood. Heeren said she is looking for speed and height in the recruiting trail. "I have to fill every spot since we lost a senior from each one," Heeren said. "I'm looking for quick outside shooters." -Kathy Lewis photo by Kristine Wemer Jumping high in the air, senior Felicia Sutton pulls down a rebound during a home game against Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats on Feb. 6. 224 women's basketball (Page 225) A newer coach, veteran players Women's Basketball Overall Record 16-11 University of Nebraska (Omaha) 79-90 Peru State (Neb.) 77-65 Mount Mercy 92-88 Southern Illinois-Edwardsville 87-77 St. Ambrose (Iowa) 87-83 Quincy College (Ill.) 89-77 Culver-Stockton 103-84 College California-Stanislaus 83-82 California-Davis 61-79 California-Sacramento 96-98 Missouri Western 75-76 Missouri-St. Louis 109-105 Northwest Missouri 79-72 Missouri Southern 86-70 Missouri-Rolla 56-63 Central Missouri 74-79 Lincoln University 99-90 Missouri Western 81-76 Washburn University 71-88 Pittsburg State (Kan.) 77-78 Northwest Missouri 88-71 Southeast Missouri 82-95 Central Missouri 83-94 Lincoln University 97-71 Washburn University (Kan.) 91-84 Southwest Baptist 58-56 Missouri-Rolla 52-72 photo by Ray Jagger Front row: Kim Hardisty, Robin Serocke, Dara Scharf, Christi Saddler, Kathy Russett, Shelley Picha.

Head Coach Lois Heeren described senior Angie Gum as a very unselfish individual with tremendous dedication. "She's a player that would rather give a good pass to someone that would lead to a basket, than take the shot herself," Heeren said. "She would rather give the glory to someone else." Heeren said that Gum was a "work-aholic." "Angie was always trying to make herself better, and she's one of the reasons for our being so successful this year and for our turnaround last year." Gum was the player that Heeren would turn to in pressure situations. "Although she was a quiet individual, she was always willing to help," Heeren said. "A very dedicated and self-motivated individual."

Head Coach Chuck Arabas points out that the men's team will Continue to struggle until they receive scholarship funding. "Our men's team has struggled forever and I assume they will until we get some financing," Arabas said. 'I'm very proud of them as far as their swimming goes." Arabas said the team stuck together despite the dismal sounding 0-8 dual record. "Our team cohesion is very good, regardless of our circumstances," Arabas said. Since the University has no funding available to potential recruits they have to, in a sense, take what they can get. "They're swimming as fast as they can," Arabas said. "It's hard to get kids to swim at Northeast. We have nothing to offer but a great program, and the usual decision for a swim recruit is to go where the money is." The no-funding problem is quite apparent to the coaching staff, and therefore, they work toward building better swimmers from average swimmers. "If you look at the fact of where we take kids who can't compete when they come to us, to a point where they can, that's something," Arabas said. "It shows that we can develop swimmers. If you lave the money to get them to your school, you'll have a good program as far as wins and losses are concerned." The squads 0-8 dual record can say much more beneath the surface. "We have a young team, but we're building," Arabas said. "We're starting to get much more competitive against the heavily financed Division I programs." One strong swimmer seems to highlight the NMSU squad. Senior Dan Bollini was the team's spark throughout the season, and made a trip to the NCAA Division II Championships and took fifth in the 50-yard freestyle. "He's extremely talented," Arabas said. "He's the kind of swimmer we need to recruit. He's definitely been a boost to our team in most aspects." Bollini holds numerous school records for his swimming efforts. Arabas said Bollini's character is as strong as his talents. "I really like Dan being on our team because he's Dan," Arabas said. "His times and races are very exciting to watch, but they run second to his personality." The team gelled together at the Midwest Championships, Feb. 21-23, in Indianapolis, Ind. The men's relay team shattered several school records at this competition: 200 free relay (1:28.24), 200 medley relay (1:26.67), 400 free relay (3:12.37). Bollini broke records in the 100 freestyle (46.74), the 50 freestyle (21.22), and in the 100 butterfly (53.44). Junior Chris Williams broke the record in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:02.80. "They did extremely well and had lifetime bests almost all the way across the team," Arabas said. With performances like this, Arabas knows that scholarships don't mean a thing unless you can develop swimmers. "It (money deficiency) doesn't mean we can't develop the team," Arabas said. "They're all juniors, and I think we can turn things around. We're going up against some powerhouse teams with great recruiting programs. We make good swimmers at Northeast. As far as wins and losses, I almost have to ignore them." Sophomore Russ Woody agrees with Arabas. "We were up against a lot of Division I schools, but we gave them a run for their money," Woody said. "I don't think the records show anything." Arabas says the team instead focuses on where they start, how hard they work, where they go, and what kind of behavior they have. Looking at it that way, Arabas says the team receives four stars for their efforts and triumphs. -Traci Weaver photo by Thom Kennedy Diving into the competition, senior Jeff Hall participates in a relay.

Hall just missed breaking the school record in the lOO meter breast stroke. "He really became kind of a team leader," Head Coach Chuck Arabas said. "Jeff really did much better than anyone would have expected him to do when he came in as a freshman. Having missed the record by a little bit is kind of unfortunate, but to come close was something as well." Arabas cited Hall's attitude as very good. "He added a great deal of humor to the team and seemed to fit into every group," Arabas said. "He's very well rounded, very easy going. He's very humorous and looks at life from the light side." mens swimming 227 (Page 228) A new rules makes waves Early in the swimming season, Northeast Missouri State University swimmers had to have home meets rescheduled due to the pool not meeting a new NCAA ruling. The new ruling required four feet of water at the starting blocks. "I think it effected them pretty well psychologically," Head Chuck Arabas said. "It was a negative effect to us and something they all had to deal with." Despite all the turmoil of rescheduling, the women's swim team was able to pick up a couple of dual wins. The new rule was set forth for safety purposes, according to Arabas. "It's a move going on all over the country," Arabas said. "We knew about it for a couple of years and we were trying to fit that into our budget, but the move was so quick." The Lady 'Dogs also had to work around a few empty positions after squad members fell from the roster. "We had a couple of people drop off of the team," Arabas said. "As far as the individuals that remained, we did as well as expected those drops definitely affected us as far as wins and losses are concerned, and made a significant difference in depth. Those spots were eventually filled, but it takes a full year to work them into the program." Although the player losses didn't help with the 2-5 dual record, Arabas said the losses aren't uncommon. "I don't think it's too unnatural Arabas said. "They have to practice for three hours a day and that's very taxing. It's not too totally unusual for this sport. All of those players stayed in contact, but the number of hours they had to put in were too great for them." The Lady 'Dogs record can yet be attributed to one more factor, and that is the absence of divers on the squad. "We didn't have any divers and haven't for the last three years because we had the boards taken out for safety reasons," Arabas said. "It wasn't until this year that we got new ones, and in every meet we were giving up 26-32 points. You're never going to be able to make up that many points." Arabas said it is pretty unlikely they'll win meets until they do get a diving program, but that didn't stop them at the Midwest Championships in Indianapolis, Ind. The squad finished a strong second behind Eastern Illinois. "I was very excited about it," Arabas said. "Almost everybody did a lifetime best and everybody worked hard to get there. We did exactly what we wanted and a little bit more." Sophomore Shannon Thompson broke school records in the 50 and lOO freestyle events to pace the team. Arabas is looking for improvements in next years squad. - Traci Weaver photo by Thom Kennedy Watching and conversing about teammates, freshman Robin Mahon and sophomore Jamey Menely show their support.

Even after battling a serious shoulder injury her senior year, Kathy Yeisley worked harder than ever to better herself and her team. "That's an extremely difficult thing for a senior," Head Coach Chuck Arabas said. "She was really a potential national qualifier and then to have that injury occur." Arabas said Yeisley was a very good role model. "Her work ethic was very high," Arabas said. "Her injuries and illnesses were probably due to her working so hard. She really wants to work too hard sometimes and doesn't have the natural ability to back off when she needs to." Arabas said Yeisley (co-captain) continued to train hard after her injury and really came through. womens swimming 229 (Page 230) A measure of success Some say the success of the track season is measured by the place-finish of the team in the conference meet. By that measure, the Northeast Missouri State University men's and women's track teams did not fare well in the 1990-91 season. The women were unable to defend their conference championship from the 1989-90 season, and fell to third place. The men fell another notch to sixth. Another measure of success is the number of athletes that are selected to participate in the national championships. Seniors Stacy Roberts, Saundra Mester, and Stephanie White, and sophomore Rhonda Ruden were all selected to participate in the NCAA Division II Championship held in South Dakota. Only White was new to the experience, Hester and Roberts were already All-Americans and Ruden qualified as a freshman. Hester and Ruden competed in the 100-meter dash and the 800-yard run respectively but didn't place. Roberts placed ninth in the high jump and White took eighth if the triple jump. In addition to Hester, Roberts, White and Ruden, junior Debbie Bries, in the 800-meter run and sophomore Tricia Rogers in the mile and 3,000-meter runs, surpassed the provisional standards for the national meet individually, but lid not make the cut. Hester, Ruden, senior Tonja Begeman, and sophomore Dawn Miller combined to meet the standard in the 4x400-meter relay. Though they met the standards for these events, none of these athletes were selected to participate in the national championships. Hester and Ruden were doubleevent individual qualifiers, but were only selected for one event. In addition to national qualifications, several NMSU indoor records were broken by the women. White, Hester, Ruden, and Rogers all reset individual records while the 4x400-meter relay team of Hester, Ruden, Begeman and Miller broke the old school record. Hester and Ruden both set two school records this season. For the men, juniors Chadd Lamason and Rob Jensen, met the requirements in the triple jump and mile run, respectively, but weren't selected for the NCAA Division II Championship fields. At the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association Indoor Championships, the women finished third in the eight-team field, and the men finished sixth. The only individual champion of the MIAA this season for Northeast was White in the triple jump. White turned in a record-setting 38 ft. leap to take her first MIAA title. The top finisher for the men was sophomore Kevin Long, in the 1,000-yard run. Other highlights of the 1990-91 indoor track season for the Lady Bulldogs included winning three of four scored meets. In all of those meets, the women won more than half of the individual events. Additional highlights for the men include a first-place finish in the 3,000-meter run at the University of Missouri for sophomore Dave Killeen, and a second-place finish for Jensen at the University of Iowa in the mile run. To sum up for the women, Coach John Cochrane commented on the season. "We had a pretty good indoor season," Cochrane said. "When we look back in time, it won't be that bad. In the last two or three years, we have gotten used to doing well. We just weren't on during the meet that mattered. When you get to the conference indoor meet, you'd like to be on." Senior Matt Candrl believes that the team could have done better if there had been more team members. "The fact that we didn't have a full squad played a definite role in how we placed as a team," Candrl said. - Ken Clayton photo by Kristine Werner Pacing himself for maximum endurance, sophomore Kevin Long records his time per lap.

"We started off kind of struggling due to the fact that we didn't know if we were going to have a program," Head Coach Dave Schutter said. With that question put to rest, the 'Dogs were able to finish the season with a respectable 8-11 record "Overall we competed well," Schutter said. "I felt we should have had four or five guys qualify for Nationals, but I'm still happy with how the season went." Among the season highlights was a National qualifying berth, by sophomore Aaron Berns, the first by a Northeast wrestler since the 1982-83 season. Berns said the National meet was like no other meet he had been in all season. "The meet was big," Berns said. "It was very formal, kind of like a show I was very nervous my first match." A loss in the third round, his second of the meet, eliminated any hope Berns had of being an All- American. Other season highlights included freshman Irving Ward setting a school record for the most individual wins, 37, in a season. Sophomore Bryant Gaines said ha saw a big difference in this year's squad compared to last years. "The team was more hungry than last year," Gaines said. "It might have been because we were oiler or maybe it was the coaching but overall we were motivated to be the best." The 'Dogs had six wrestlers finish the season with 20 or more wins, tying the school record set by last year's squad. Gaines and sophomore Scott Johnson finished the season with 25 wins each, while Berns finished with 22. Sophomore Jeff Courtright, with 21 wins, joined Ward as the sixth, to tie last years record. Schutter gave out awards to the team at the end of the season. The Most Valuable Award went to Ward, as did the Most Take-Downs Award and the Out- standing Freshman Award. The captains for the 1990-91 season were senior Eric Ashby, sophomore Justin Naumovitz, Berns and Gaines. The Mental Attitude Award went to Ward, as did the Most Outstanding Sophomore Award. The Most Outstanding Senior Award went to Ashby and the Most Outstanding Junior Award went to Beth Winbinger, the first woman to compete in the history of Bulldog wrestling. Other honors included the Most Improved Award given to freshman Curt Krause, and the Most Pins Award given to Naumovitz. Schutter said to look out for the 'Dogs in the future. "Look for next season to be about the same," Schutter said. "We're definitely going to give it a shot at placing at Nationals two or three years down the road. Our sophomore squad was real tough this year and we're hoping to build upon that in the years to come." photo by Kristine Wemer Practicing moves, sophomore Scott Johnson and freshman Irving Ward (back) prepare for an upcoming meet.

The team as a whole suffered because of so many injured players. Head Coach Dave Schutter talks of senior Eric Ashby as a team leader and motivator. "He's a senior and you should get credit for what you finish in life, not for just what you start," Schutter said. "Eric hung in there for Northeast during the rough years and I think that's a real credit to him. He brought the sport along when it was questionable." Ashby was a bit hard on himself at times. "He's a perfectionist," Schutter said. "He could let up on the mental toughness he has towards himself and create some stress-free work for himself." Ashby will return to NMSU next year as Schutter's student assistant, and has already helped in the recruiting process this season. wrestling 233 (Page 234) Changing the pace Beneath the time constraints, stress and academic demands having more than 100 organizations on campus, made Kirksville a little more bearable.

On the surface, you were a group of people getting together for a few laughs, but you dug deeper to make important community and campus contributions. Beneath the long, drawn out meetings, you got something accomplished -- your way. At surface level you were all club members, beneath the surface you found your best friends. You had fun, served a purpose and helped the needy.

What many people may not have known was more than 20 Greek organizations on campus devoted much of their time and energy to philanthropies. Each Greek organization had a national philanthropy ranging from the American Heart Association to Gauladet University for the speech and hearing impaired. In addition to their national philanthropy, they also conducted several community philanthropy projects, including the Greek Week philanthropy Transitional Care, a home for alcohol and drug treatment therapy. Members of Greek organizations considered charity their most significant opportunity to foster good community relations. "When you can prove Greeks do something good for the society, you accomplish a lot with the community," senior Karen Spoede said. Sophomore Chuck Green, believed philanthropy efforts were a responsibility all Greeks shared. "We, as a group, should help improve our community," Green said. Most groups chose local philanthropy projects according to need and what the members felt was important. "Several of our members are involved with women-focused organizations and we felt raising funds for Violence Intervention would be a good idea," senior Rebecca Welge said. In order to get greater chapter participation, philanthropy chairpersons often tried to think of activities which would be fun, while raising substantial amounts of money. During the past academic year Greeks walked twenty miles in their underwear, camped on the mall, teeter-tottered on the square and danced until they dropped. Charities gave support, as well as received help from campus Greek life. The individual members themselves got satisfaction in knowing they had provided help and made someone's life better. "We want our members to leave their fraternity experience in college with an appreciation of the abilities they have been blessed with," said sophomore Scott Breedlove. -Jon O'Dell (Page 256) on the flip SIDE Barbecuing techniques pay off for senior Beth Wigger and junior Brian Gill at the Alpha Phi Omega picnic.

The club sponsored a voluntary income tax service each spring to assist students and community members in filling out the dreaded forms. Every member was required to work at least one four-hour shift. Members received training before working their shifts. The club also helped its members by bringing speakers from different accounting firms to talk about their experiences in the working world. Members also planned many social activities during the year, such as parties and picnics. Membership required students to be accounting majors, to have completed intermediate accounting class and worked one four-hour shift at an income tax service for other students and community members. 256 organizations (Page 257) Professional chemistry fraternity Alpha Chi Sigma strove to advance chemistry as a science and as a profession. They also strove to help its members achieve their goals. Members tutored students each week and sponsored chemistry-related activities on campus. The group also adopted a highway and sponsored a haunted house with Circle K to benefit the Red Cross. Membership was open to students interested in chemistry. Friendship, leadership and service were the three goals of the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. Anyone seeking these three qualities could join Alpha Phi Omega without fear of being rejected. This fraternity was based on the principles of the Boy Scouts. The officers of the chapter led the group in completing its many service projects. Members of Alpha Phi Omega participated in a number of service activities for the community. These included the Kirksville City-Wide Cleanup for the United Cerebal Palsy, volunteer work at Twin Pines Nursing Home, and helping the Optimist Club decorate Kirksville for Christmas. An annual event included helping prepare for the Boy Scout summer camp. Members provided help for cleaning, building and painting. One favorite annual event sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega was a Halloween party for economically disadvantaged children.

By inviting sophomores with a minimum 3.25 GPA to apply for membership, the organization strove to recognize students who set and achieved high scholastic standards. The group, whose motto was "service to mankind," tried to become more active this year on campus. They achieved this through various service projects. Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorary dramatics fraternity, honored students in the theater department for achieving excellence in acting and technical skills. Students qualified for membership by both acting and working backstage in a certain number of dramatic performances. The group met only once a year, to initiate new members. Last year was the first year the fraternity reactivated its charter. The group is now in the process of reorganizing itself. 258 organizations (Page 259) Alpha Psi Omega social service sorority was a group which was affiliated with the Boy Scouts. They used the same cardinal rules as the Boy Scouts and helped boys earn merit badges needed to become Eagle Scouts. Other services included a Halloween party for deprived children, a highway clean-up project and cleaning an area to be a park. Each member was required to study five hours a week to help achieve the 2.5 GPA which was needed to become an active member. Alpha Sigma Gamma assembled University women to develop leadership skills, promote friendship and provide services to better humanity. Members worked with national and local organizations and the University to service in any capacity needed. Members were selected each semester and had to go through a pledge season. Pledges had to obtain signatures from active members and work service hours before they were inducted into the service sorority. They held a bowl-a-thon to raise money for United Cerebal Palsy, co-sponsored a blood drive and worked the phones for the Muscular Distrophy Telethon. Their group also worked with the Humane Society, the Salvation Army and several local churches. A formal dance was held at the end of the pledge season to welcome new members. Members needed a genuine desire to participate in philanthropy projects and must be in good academic standing with the University.

The group sponsored seminars on campus every two or three weeks. Guest lecturers from graduate schools, industries and government agencies spoke on chemical research. The organization also provided students with information about joining the national society and made members aware of opportunities available after graduation. Anyone with a strong interest in chemistry could join. The American Marketing Association was an organization on campus which did research for different campus organizations. They were in charge of doing advertisements or promotions. AMA planned projects with Kirksville Savings and Loan and AHEC at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. This organization helped build an environment which helped meet students who were involved in the same courses and major as the students in the association. 260 organizations (Page 261) The American National Spap Oop Society was a group of students who wished to promote supersurrealistic poetry by sponsoring professional and social poetry activities. In order to join, students had to write one poem, four lines in length in which the first two lines had identical noun phrases and the third line was total nonsense. The fourth line was a variation of the first two lines. The group got together every two weeks to read and discuss their poems. The Apartment Complex Government, associated with the Inter-Residence Hall Council, concerned itself with the interaction of apartment residents. The group met once each week to discuss problems within the apartments and possible solutions. Members also discussed ways to make the apartments more livable. As one of its activities, ACG worked to put together an open house to show students what the apartments were like for interested students. The Artistic Students of Baldwin was made up of students interested in displaying the visual arts. The group sponsored a student art show in the fall and also entered a national art competition. Members took trips to the St. Louis and Kansas City Art Museums. They also went to Chicago to experience the culture of the city and see the European painting show presented in the city's art museum.

Members attended lectures, tutored students, entered programming contests and displays. They discussed different aspects of computer science including hardware, software and various programs. Each spring, they held a contest for high school students as well as conducting a food drive. The Association of Black Collegians served as a voice of concern for black students. The group promoted racial awareness and stressed academics. The group also worked to give its members a sense of their black heritage and identity. They addressed public issues and concerns. The group co-sponsored events with Student Senate and the Student Activities Board, including poet and author Nikki Giovanni and the Miss Associated Black Collegian contest. 262 organizations (Page 263) The Baldwin Cycling Society worked to promote safe and organized cycling throughout Kirksville and the college community. The organization was chartered for the first time last year and helped cyclists meet one another and made cycling more visible on campus. One of the group's biggest activities was to take part in the Earth Day celebration by sponsoring a bike ride. All funds were donated to the World Wildlife Fund. They also planned several other rides. The Baptist Student Union acted as a ministry to University students and faculty who were interested in growing in their faith. Besides meeting weekly, the group held special fellowship days once a month. Other programs included working regularly with area churches raking leaves and doing outreach programs. Members also took time just to have fun together. Whether playing volleyball or going to the Homecoming parade, students strengthened their relationship with God. The goal of the Baptist Student Union was to show how Christ was real in their lives and could be in other student's lives as well. In October, they recognized World Hunger Day by sponsoring a meal in which six students sat at each table, with one person receiving a good meal and the rest receiving rice. Ministry chairperson David Cook said the purpose of the meal was to see how the students at each table would react to the situation.

They sponsored speakers, assisted with science seminars and offered biology tutoring. Anyone interested in biology could be an associate member. However, active members were required to complete 45 hours and maintain a 3.0 GPA. The Blackjack Pistol and Rifle Team, a varsity sports team, shot in competitions against other schools across the state and around the country. The five active members usually met three times a week to practice at a local gun shop. They competed as both individuals and as a team. The team worked with the Boy Scouts and the National Guard, giving and receiving shooting tips. Last year, the group had the largest winning percentage on campus of campus varsity sports. 264 organizations (Page 265) The Black Law Students Association served as a support group for black students pursuing careers in the field of law. The organization sponsored various forums and colloquiums dealing with subjects such as power and politics. Members also brought minority students to campus twice a year and traveled to various law schools in the state to gain knowledge about their law program. Through its activities, the group strove to create a better awareness of African- American lawyers. Blanton/Nason Hall Senate strove to help pull hall members together. The senate sponsored activities such as an ice cream social and a pumpkin carving contest for residents. Alcohol Awareness Week was one of the many programs they helped to sponsor. Because the co-ed hall's senate members were usually upperclassmen involved in other campus organizations, the senate gave them a chance to work with people and allowed them to pool ideas from other groups. Blue Key National Honor Fraternity helped its members gain leadership skills through service and through their motto "serving I live." The organization decided which campus events they would like to sponsor each year and each member was required to head at least one project during the year. Among the services the fraternity provided was the Blue Key student/faculty directory, maintaining the student travel board and chairing the Homecoming float competition.

Each sorority elected one member to the senate to manage its chapter room and living arrangements. Senate members also planned hall activities such as Finals Fling, collecting soda cans to raise money, recruiting workers for the hall desk and a paint-the-basement party. Meetings were held twice a month to plan hall activities. The Business Administration Club was designed to help get business students together to learn more about how to adjust to the business world. Each of the bimonthly meetings featured a speaker from a different school or company. The club conducted fundraisers and philanthropies, including assisting with the Special Olympics. Club members submitted applications to work with President Russell Warren for a day to see how the administration works. 266 organizations (Page 267) Campus Christian Fellowship was a non-denominational Christian organization which provided students with opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth. Members participated in Bible studies, visited the prison in Moberly and helped lead area church services. They also took time to socialize and participate in intramural sports. The group's objective was to help members not only know Christ better and grow personally, but to grow in their faith as well. Campus Crusade for Christ was an inter-denominational Christian organization. They focused on growth and understanding God. The organization was for those students who wished to enhance their relationship with God and Christ. The group worked to spread the word about various church programs and served as a resource to students in order to spread the word of God to those who showed some curiosity in seeking or building their spiritual self. Many students who wished to become involved in the community became involved in Campus Volunteers. This program provided Kirksville area children with "big brothers" and "big sisters" from the University. Volunteers met with their adopted brother or sister once a week on a personal basis and the entire group met once a month for a social. The program not only provided area youth with role models and friends, but helped them feel more important.

They represented the top one percent of students living on campus. During the fall semester, they had one meeting and a banquet. During the spring semester, they sent applications to eligible students and conducted the reviewing process. Students were selected based on their activities, GPA and work in Residential Living. NEMO news was a student-run news program which was produced by the University's Television and Advanced Television class. Students developed, wrote, filmed, produced and edited their own stories. The program was centered around feature stories, rather than the hard news covered by other campus media. NEMO News gave stories from the perspective of students, to students, by students. Students involved said it was more credible since it was run by students. 286 organizations (Page 287) The NEMO Singers, a highly selective choir, sang a wide array of choral music which spanned four centuries. The group also had to learn songs in French, German and Latin. This year's choir was the largest in NMSU history with 70 members. Students had to audition to become part of the group. As part of a class, the group practiced for an hour each day. The singers sang mostly A cappella, but they also occasionally sang to jazz, brass or piano accompaniment. The singers performed both on campus and around the state. The group's first performance of the year was at Parent's Day. Members also performed two Christmas concerts and held a spring concert. The group's only fundraiser was Pancake Day, which was held before the first Christmas concert. The singers raised money for the group's spring tour of Kansas City high schools. Singers also performed with high school honor choirs. Clay Dawson directed the choir for the last time. Newman Center offered many resources for students of all denominations. The center had a homey atmosphere and was a place to relax and get away from stress. The center sponsored stress relief parties, ping pong games and aerobics classes. Catholic mass was also held at the center three times a week. For students wishing to convert to the Catholic faith, the center offered Rights of Christian Initiation for Adults classes and confirmation classes.

In addition to their performance hours, they performed two shows a year. This year's performances included "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Tis the Season". Bulls Rugby was a privately funded club which promoted sportsmanship through a hardhitting and physically fatiguing sport. In play, rugby looks like a combination of football and soccer where backward passing, forward ball carrying and punt style kicking were the means of scoring. The other half of the game involved the clashing of seven men who grunted their way to ball possession. The club has existed for more than ten years and is open to all students. The Ryle Senate consisted of ten representatives, one from each house and two representatives-at-large. The president, secretary and treasurer were elected in the spring.

SAB showed 38 movies and sponsored 40 other events which included excursions, dances and music on the Mall. For a yearly $10 SAB sticker, students could enter most activities for free or at a reduced price. SAB also sponsored a spring concert and was responsible for bringing Damn Yankees to campus. Students applied to be a SAB member. Remember the tour conducted before deciding to enroll at Northeast? More than likely, a Student Ambassador was responsible for the tour. These students were busiest during October and November answering students* questions, but occasionally students requested an April tour. Student Ambassadors also assisted the four Saturday visiting days, entrance testing exams and campus orientation. The group was comprised of approximately 100 volunteer students. 298 organizations (Page 299) Student Ambassadors provided a necessary service while showing their positive attitude and pride for the University. Due to the large number of volunteers, Student Ambassadors only met twice each year. The group conducted a fall meeting for orientation and a spring meeting to induct new members. Members kept in contact through newsletters and posted messages in the Admissions Office. Students were chosen by an application process in March. The Student Council for Exceptional Children worked with handicapped and mentally dysfunctional children to gain valuable knowledge about these special children. Members were involved with the Special Olympics and also helped tutor students in their classes. Working in elementary and secondary schools was a useful experience to these education majors. Members regarded their work as giving them a lot of personal satisfaction from their experiences. The Student Leadership Council consisted of one representative resident adviser or peer adviser from each hall staff. The council worked to improve current conditions and to continue the ongoing training process for the RAs and PAs. They established unification by planning hay rides, parties, dances and attending leadership conferences. The organization built leadership strengths and skills while providing a stress reliever for busy RAs and PAs.

The Student Missouri Teachers' Association provided students with personal and professional growth, better leadership skills and information on the ethics of teaching. These objectives gave structure for their meetings, which often consisted of guest speakers. First-year interns came to speak on possible problems which might be encountered on the job. The future teachers also attended the Missouri State Teachers' Association convention in Kansas City. 300 organizations (Page 301) The Student Nurses Association was a group designed to provide experience in the health care field. Student nurses aided the Red Cross by helping to check blood pressure and temperatures at campus blood drives. Around Christmas, the group sent care packages and support letters to medical assistants in the Persian Gulf. Yet at home, they sponsored a child through K mart. Fundraising included selling medical equipment and Homecoming buttons. Student Senate, a group of 35 members and several additional committees, worked to serve the student body in a variety of ways. Successful ideas which benefited students were a weekend travel exchange program, landlord lists giving a variety of open apartments and a renovated information center in the Student Union Building to provide visitors and students with campus information. Senate also sponsored Sexual Awareness Week and Alcohol Awareness Week. Students To Aid Recruitment was an organization funded through the Admissions Office. S.T.A.R.'s purpose was to call accepted high school students and congratulate them on their achievement. They would also answer students' questions and give an overview of NMSU. Volunteers for the job applied through an application and interview process. Weekly a group of 10 -12 volunteers called students all over the country to extend a personal welcome from NMSU.

Assistant Hall Directors were responsible for helping the director and the administration of the hall desk and its workers. Resident advisers gave support and counseling to their 35-65 residents. RAs organized hall programs and house activities. Requirements for being an RA included sufficient grades, campus activity and two interviews. The Unique Ensemble gospel choir promoted Christ by witnessing through song. Although the group approached music from a historical black gospel style, no regard was given to denomination or race. The choir sang in area churches. The group hosted a church service on Sundays, and members attended state-wide gospel choir workshops. The ensemble raised money by receiving money for singing engagements and collecting dues. 302 organizations (Page 303) The University Players functioned as a social organization for students interested in theater. The group sponsored a film club, which showed six movies during the year. The money raised from the showings helped sponsor an annual trip. Members produced and ushered the Baldwin Auditorium shows on campus. The group also held a banquet at the end of the year. Although anyone could join, the organization's main purpose was to get students involved in theater. Members of the University Ushers had a chance to show school spirit by volunteering their services at Lyceum Series events. The ushers collected tickets for the events and seated audience members who had reserved seats. The group met only once at the beginning of the year to discuss its duties and responsibilities. Volunteers were accepted by application. By volunteering, students had the opportunity to see performances they might not have otherwise attended. The Wesley House functioned as a Christian presence for NMSU and KCOM students. Although the organization was sponsored and supported by the United Methodist Church, its membership consisted of individuals in various denominations. The group offered weekly Bible studies and worship services. They also sponsored an outreach program for other churches. The Wesley House offered students a place to study and participate in social activities.

The Young Democrats worked as a mechanism to supply volunteers for Democratic political campaigns during the fall semester. Students aided Steve Danner in his successful senatorial campaign by making phone calls, going door-to-door and mailing fliers. The group's main project was targeting voters on campus. In the past, the group has traveled to political demonstrations, participated in state and regional meetings and sponsored elections. The World Peace Group represented what it considered to be the alternative viewpoint on campus -- that of peace as a legitimate alternative to war. The group protested the war in the Persian Gulf by sponsoring a peace march and a panel discussion about the war. The group's theme song was "Imagine" by John Lennon. Students had a tye-dye party, worked with the Greens and planned "Give Peace a Dance." Members met every other Wednesday. 304 organizations (Page 305) photo by Thom Kennedy Answering questions on Operation Desert Storm, LTC Ralph Cupelli participates in a panel discussion.
