THE ONE TO WATCH
Observations

The Focal Point

With one hand on reality and one in the unknown, we kept our eyes moving.

All the time, we wondered if we would ever become a part of all the teeming activity and 
manage to make friends, handle what money we had left over from the onslaught of early 
semester bills, become friends with our roommates and emerge from everything ready to find 
a job and walk with confidence.

Slowly, but with increasing assurance, we began learning how to work with the system 
and how to make it better. We voted in elections. We persuaded the administration that 
the food service needed serious reevaluation. And we continued observing our surroundings 
as we strove to improve them.

Even if we did not always see the widest scope, we became aware of its ramifications. 
Those unfamiliar with the term "value-added" began to feel its effects as higher grades 
became harder to attain. The result was a national award for innovation in education 
from the Association for the Advancement of State Colleges and Universities.

Those who had not heard about the extremes of weather in Northeast Missouri first found 
themselves desperately searching for some semblance of a breeze throughout the record-breaking 
summer heat. And just as the outdoors became palatable, we found ourselves wondering which 
box held winter clothes when temperatures plunged beyond the boundaries of withstandable cold.

Some of what we saw was beyond our immediate reach. We were horrified to hear of the 
intentional downing of a Korean airliner and the suicide bombing of the peacekeepers in 
Lebanon. But shock hit closer to home when a male student mysteriously slipped into a coma 
in Violette Hall, spurring the community to respond with generosity.

We wondered if we would see what others expected to. In the year of Big Brother and his 
omniscient eye, we learned a foolproof way to study for a comprehensive final, asked the 
person with the great smile for a Friday night date and maybe even got a part-time job, all 
without having to look over our shoulders. We lived in fear, not of government surveillance, 
but of getting the proper classes and getting up in time to eat breakfast.

Some events were on too divergent and massive a scale for us to comprehend. Others were too 
immediate in time and vicinity to ignore. The composite of events and individuals set us, as 
an entity, apart as THE ONE TO WATCH.

A student's everyday existence is filled with a variety of impressions that impact 
simultaneously in an ongoing mental shuffle.

Our eyes are everywhere at once and although we actually take in more than we see, 
everything that comprises student life makes every day THE ONE TO WATCH.

Students made the difference in some aspects of everyday life. To the delight of hall 
residents, Professional Food Management, Inc., replaced American rood Management, 
providing on-campus diners with new choices.

The popular vote overstepped party boundaries when senior Kevin Smith became the first 
Independent candidate to become president of Student Senate.

Two residence halls opted for a new system of government that increased the number of 
decision-makers and decreased apathy, and two halls saw the result of several accidents, 
petitions and surveys when the crosswalk at Patterson Street was completed in. time for 
classtime traffic.

Constancy struck a balance as students upheld traditions. Friends who waved goodbye at 
graduation returned in the all to celebrate Homecoming. And though an elegant restaurant 
and Music Television came to Kirksville, students continued to appreciate Friday night 
movies, University Players productions, and parties down the street.

And though there was grumbling about laundry, lost keys to find, snow to trudge through 
and books to buy, there was also plenty to smile about-a hard-earned A on that difficult 
paper and the thoughtfulness of a friend.

With stylish stage antics, Juice Newton drew the crowd Into the act 
by LAURIE WHITE

When Juice Newton took to the stage for her concert performance in Baldwin Hall 
April 27, the glow of the illuminated stage seemed to take on a heightened energy 
as she answered the audience's anticipatory cheers with an enthusiastic welcome.

Brandishing a black guitar, Newton proceeded to give a show which was as unexpectedly 
fun as her shocking pink dress and chrome yellow boots.

Indeed the consensus indicated that Juice Newton was "The Sweetest Thing" to the crowd 
that filled Baldwin to 80 percent capacity for the SAB-sponsored show.

"I expected more country, but I was happy that she included all different types of 
music," sophomore Karen Kettler said.

"She put on a really good show; it seems like she was really up for it," junior Annie 
Ruyle said.

"I didn't know many of her songs, but after the concert I started to like all of them. 
I hope we'll have more concerts like this," junior Ramiro Reque said.

"I thought it (the concert) was very good. There were a lot of songs that were popular 
that I didn't realize she did that she did a good job on," junior Janice Kestner said.

"The crowd really liked it," junior Karen Gordy, SAB concert chairperson, said. "I think 
if people knew how good it was going to be, we would've had more lines at the door."

Newton and her band, consisting of her partner Otha Young on guitar, Jim Lang on piano, 
Michael Huey on drums, Johnny Pierce on bass and Chuck Martin on guitar, performed such 
hits as "Angel of the Morning," "Break It to Me Gently," "Heart of Night," and "The 
Sweetest Thing."

"Since we do a variety of material, we can change our set from night to night. We can play 
to different rooms and give a variety of fans a variety of music," Newton said. "This show, 
we played everything, meaning we didn't delete any of the more rock and roll material, whereas 
we would in some places because we felt that the student body or whoever came in were more 
broad-minded."

A Virginia native, Newton said she began singing 15 years ago in church and high school choirs 
and has had no professional voice training. She classifies her style as "country-pop, and I 
also do rock and roll material. I think it's very contemporary, actually. I don't see a lot 
of restrictions; I don't do jazz or R&B, but other than that, we incorporate a lot of styles 
into what we do."

Newton and her band generally tour about seven months out of the year and had been on the road 
about a month before her Kirksville appearance. "You have to learn to adjust to being on the 
road -- how to pack well and to be normal away from home and realize it's not just a three or 
four-day trip, it's six or seven weeks each time. You have to learn to maintain some sort of 
normal footing, such as going bowling, writing your letters, calling to get your messages. If 
you let everything go, when you come home, you don't live there anymore."

While on the road, Newton said she and the band run, play racquetball and go horseback riding. 
"It's pretty easy to keep fit on the road," she said.

Newton said she plays a lot of schools in the U.S. and Canada, "generally during the spring 
and fall. The non-campus audience is more rowdy, actually. I think at some campuses they want 
to keep it (the show) a little more subdued. In the big halls, people have no restrictions. 
They're a little more aggressive."

The concert was "one of the smoothest shows I've worked; it went real well," Jim LeGrand, 
Baldwin Hall auditorium director, said. "It wasn't any worse than bringing in the Saint 
Louis Symphony or the Kansas City Ballet. We didn't have to make any exceptions that we 
would have to do for any school function like Lyceum."

The Newton entourage was "a very professional group. I didn't see any snags at all in terms 
of production. I have worked with concerts that were a lot harder," Vonnie Nichols, director 
of student activities, said.

LeGrand said he had had some concern about possible difficulties like having to search people 
for tape recorders or having to deal with people rushing the stage, but "we had few problems," 
he said.

The audience didn't seem to have any problem at all as they shouted out requests and clapped 
with approval as the first few notes of a familiar song filtered through the auditorium. 
Throughout, Newton tossed her long hair about flirtatiously, dancing to the rhythm of the 
crowd's applause. From the plaintive vocal of "Break It to Me Gently," to the rambunctious 
unaccompanied rendition of Ricky Nelson's "It's Late," Newton and her band seemed to be 
having as enjoyable an evening as the audience they were entertaining.

"We feel that the audience likes to participate. We have a good time when we work; that's 
one of the reasons we do it," Newton said,

From the garden to the hearth, a new 
by MARY JO SCHMIDT

At first glance, the cafeterias seemed like entirely different places. But wait a minute. 
There's the conveyor belt, same place as it was last year. And the soda pop and drink 
machines haven't changed location. There are still long lines on special nights and 
everyone claps when a tray is dropped.

But then again, there was something different about the cafeterias this year. They seemed 
to have obtained an aura of sophistication over the summer. Huge plants decorated the 
floors and hung from the ceiling. New red counter tops brightened up the areas around 
the cereal and drinks. Wooden signs attracted students to receive their entree from 
"The Hearthstone" or their salads from "Garden Pickins", and the day the soft-serve 
ice cream machines were introduced, students flocked to get their share.

So went the debut of Professional Food Service Management, Inc. (PFM). When the company 
came to the cafeterias in the summer, a new atmosphere and a determination to provide 
students with quality food and service came also.

Students greeted PFM with mixed reactions, but they did comment on the increase in quality 
compared to the American Food Service Management (AFM), which served the cafeterias from 
1976 to spring 1983.

The University made the switch after evaluating AFM's service and comparing bids between 
the two companies. "We didn't have serious reservations with AFM, but decided we should 
look around. We had the same food service for seven years and decided to look to see if 
we could find something better," Terry Smith, dean of students, said.

There are some things that cannot be reduced to writing or have a price tag affixed to 
them, like presentation of food, effectiveness of management and sanitation, John Jepson, 
university coordinator of food service, said. "AFM was doing a good job, but we felt this 
company (PFM) had a lot more to offer for close to the same price.

"Last year we were served by AFM, and the food was really poor. But when I came back this 
year, I was very shocked and also very pleased," said junior Angela Hobbs. "PFM is still 
better than AFM, but the margin is closing."

"I think that there is extensive room for improvement. Some of the food is not too bad, 
but steak nights could definitely be improved. I can see right through my steak," freshman 
Mike McMeley said.

Dan Kratz, campus food service director, said that it is impossible to please everyone.
"What we do is try to please the majority of students. We strive to serve the highest quality 
of food possible to make sure that the students are satisfied."

Junior Terri Reames is not totally satisfied. "The desserts aren't near as good as last year, 
with the possible exception of the banana splits," Reames said. "Maybe the food is better, 
but the choices are still the same. There is not an amazing difference." But Reames noticed 
one big difference between the two services. "One thing I really like is that they have meat 
at every breakfast. When we had AFM, we only had meat for breakfast every other day. If you 
didn't go to breakfast very early, you didn't get meat at all."

Other improvements include PFM's full breakfast on Saturday compared to AFM's continental 
breakfast, four dessert choices instead of three, and three lunch and dinner entrees 
instead of two, Jepson said.

Freshman Carol Behlmann said she felt the need for better consistency of food. "It's sometimes 
good and sometimes not. It's never all good."

Kratz admitted that the combinations need reworking. "Right now we are getting adjusted and 
trying to determine what goes over best with the students."

"We also have food service committees which are made up of students elected by students in 
their respective residence halls, and we meet with them once a week

meal. Students often had to wait in line for entrees and soft-serve ice cream.

to discuss problems," said Kratz.

In addition, PFM employs two quality controllers who monitor the food service in all halls, 
Jepson said. "Their job is to make sure that what's on the menu is prepared and prepared 
consistently throughout the halls," Jepson said.

Freshman Paul McWhorter feels the food choices are adequate. "The food is okay. I've had 
better, but I've also had worse. There is always enough to pick from, and I can always 
find something to eat."

"The food tastes better this year," said sophomore Dee Dee Dodds. "The only thing I don't like is 
that they serve the same thing over and over."

Kratz said that it finally comes down to the fact that the food service would never be able to 
please everyone at all times.

"We can only strive to keep serving the highest quality food, which we do," said Kratz. "We 
purchase and will continue to purchase only the best quality food. No one has ever questioned 
the quality of the food we serve."

PFM operates on the basic philosophy that they are professionals in food service, Kratz said. 
They believe that quality food and quality service must be provided at all times, he said.

Kratz said that the company serves approximately 100 campuses throughout the country. The 
food service strives to satisfy one major need -- to provide a personalized food-service tailored 
specifically to the needs of each campus community, he said.

"So far, it seems to have been a positive decision. If they (PFM) make a mistake, they try to 
acknowledge it and not let it happen again," Jepson said.

Conrad an opportunity to create their favorite salad.

Chain reaction campaign Election makes history

Independence was the key word in the spring Student Senate elections as junior Kevin 
Smith, running independently, won the senate presidential race.

"I think we got a lot of students to vote that usually don't vote," Smith said. He ran 
an unobtrusive campaign, relying mainly on word of mouth to publicize his candidacy. 
"I campaigned through friends who campaigned through friends," he said. "It was just 
kind of a chain reaction, and I think it worked."

Smith is the first candidate in the history of the Student Senate or its predecessor, 
the Student Council, to be elected without the backing of a political party.

Smith said he chose to run independently because he saw no real differences between the 
two political parties. "By choosing to run independently, it forces the parties to become 
more structured. It will make them sit down with their ideas and carry through with them."

Smith said the parties serve only one purpose. "The parties are nothing more than a way 
of getting people elected." 

Smith pulled out a slim 29-vote victory over junior Joe Lightfoot, Bulldog party candidate. 

NMS 'You' party candidate junior Cathi Newcomb, followed closely. The NMS 'You' Party, 
however, success fully combined a new party name, a new approach and some new faces to 
capture 17 of the 28 seats. "The name (Student Participation Party) was worn out," senior 
Terry Beckler, NMS 'You' party president, said. "It is impersonal." The name change sparked 
both interest and questions about the party, he said.

"We wanted the party to have an image that related to the University and the students," 
Newcomb said.

As part of that image, the party decided not to develop a platform of issues. Instead, the 
candidates ran on a platform of listening to and being a voice for students. "We want to be 
your voice," Newcomb said. "We want to represent you as a student."

Junior Jim Sharrock ran on the NMS 'You' party ticket and was elected vice-president. He also 
said listening was the most important focus of the party's campaign. "I think Student Senate 
needs to be listening more to what students are saying."

Rather than new faces and a fresh outlook, the Bulldog party relied on senate working experience. 
On its executive slate, the party had about 10 years of working experience, senior Tim Boozan, 
president of the Bulldog Party, said.

"An experienced Student Senate will have made many of the contacts and know the channels to 
use to even get started," Lightfoot said. "Experienced senators have a better feel for what the 
students need."

The Bulldog Party candidates said the party and its platform were good support for the 
campaign. "The party is a vehicle to get students elected," Lightfoot said.

"We have a lot of togetherness," freshman Mary Ann McMasters, the only member of the 
Bulldog executive slate elected, said. "You don't run as yourself, you run as a party." 
McMasters was elected secretary.

Both Smith and the Bulldog Party had certain issues they felt Student Senate should address and 
both said the work of the senate was not done within the limits of the weekly meetings. "The 
senate meeting is an hour to an hour-and-a-half every week. It is unrealistic to think that 
is all senate does," Smith said.

"So many things we (Student Senate) try, nobody ever knows we try," McMasters said.

Both parties and Smith were concerned that senate members be aware of proper channels and 
methods of effective committee work. "The solutions are not always known." They have to be researched 
and go through senate," Smith said.

A REFRESHING DRINK, provided by Cardinal Key member senior Sandy Armstrong, gives junior 
Jim Sharrock a break from campaigning for the NMS 'YOU' party outside the Union.
 
(Page 15)

During an open debate between Smith and the executive slate officers of each party, 
the candidates were given an opportunity to discuss issues posed by students. The 
candidates discussed their views on the implementation of a Quiet Week, off-campus 
housing, the University ban on posters promoting alcohol, and residence hall 
visitation. Smith said all of the issues are conditional on what happens during 
the year. "It isn't a finite list, but some of the concerns that need to be 
addressed," he said.

In the fall election students reinforced the positive reaction to independent 
candidates. Only one senate seat was won by a candidate not backed by a party, 
but five students ran for one of the 10 available seats. Sophomore Tracy 
Griesenauer, running independently, beat senior Michelle Yost, also an independent, 
by 50 votes in a four-person race for councilwoman.

Griesenauer said she thought candidates running independently may have been successful 
because students do not think the parties serve a useful purpose.

"I think it's because students are probably tired of all these political things. They 
think it's kind of a joke so they just say, 'Well, I'll vote for this independent 
candidate'," she said.

Griesenauer said she also found running independently easier than running on a party 
ticket. "I didn't have to worry about party function things," she said. "I could just 
put up my posters."

Newcomb said the NMS 'YOU' party is very supportive of its candidates. "The NMS 'YOU' 
party supports its members rather than the members supporting the party," she said. 
"We're people-oriented rather than party-oriented."

It is good moral support to know during a campaign that others are also out trying to 
help you while you are campaigning, McMasters said.

However, Smith said the quality of students now attending the University has contributed 
to the higher number of students running and winning independently. "I think there is 
some correlation between the value-added program and the quality of students we're getting 
at Northeast. Perhaps they are better students; therefore, they get out and vote." He said 
this is a change from the past when the most active students were Greek and tended to vote 
in blocks for candidates.

"Because of the type of students, they are trying to vote for the best students and are not 
intimidated by parties or anything else," Smith said.

ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, freshman Annette Carron and junior Vince Rice avoid sore feet by

The last walk through campus leads the way to New paths 
by JENNY JEFFRIES
 
(Page 17)

Graduation in 1983 marked a simultaneous end and beginning for approximately 1,370 students 
who received diplomas in spring and summer ceremonies.

Both commencements were highlighted by speakers who offered the classes views from the 
outside world. Missouri Attorney General John Ashcroft spoke to the spring graduates. Ashcroft, a native 
of Springfield, graduated from Yale University in 1964 with a history degree. He received his 
law degree in 1967 from the University of Chicago. After teaching business law and working in 
private law practice, Ashcroft was appointed attorney general in 1975. He ran for attorney 
general in 1976 and was elected to a second term in 1980.

Alumnus Irving Waldman was the featured speaker for summer commencement. Waldman 
came to the University from the East, returning there upon his graduation in 1954. A staff radiologist at 
North Miami (Florida) Hospital for 17 years, Waldman also taught radiology at Miami area 
colleges and hospitals.

As the spring semester dwindled into the last few days before graduation, Tom Churchwell, 
assistant to the dean of instruction, told the graduating class at commencement practice 
that the day they had been working and waiting years for was near and not to do anything 
to spoil it.

The 932 members of the Class of 1983 must have listened because the day that marked the 
end of their educations at this university was a good one. Not perfect, but really very 
good.

For most of the graduates meeting that Friday in Baldwin Hall, 8:30 came too early after 
a late night on Thursday. But, as Churchwell pointed out, this was it -- the end result of 
four years of the best times and the hardest work -- and no one wanted to spoil it.

The official start of the big day, the processional from Baldwin Hall to Stokes Stadium, 
finally began after questions of whether a chance of rain would force the ceremony indoors. 
However, it did not rain, and with the announcement that the ceremony would be held 
outdoors, the graduates gave a cheer and began the walk through campus which would be their last.

Along with the traditional elements of a commencement like accomplishment, anticipation and 
a tremendous amount of pride, there were many feelings of sadness shared by members of the 
processional. Four important years were over.

It was the last time to walk this path as a student, the last time to wave to Joe Baldwin 
and the last time to really be a part of campus. From now on, that relationship would be 
past tense. And yet, for most, the future was still one of uncertainty.

So, delicately balanced between what was and what would be, the soon-to-be graduates 
walked. Not only past Joe Baldwin and the rest of campus, but past their home of four years, their 
teachers, friends ... past what would soon be their pasts.

The walk to Stokes Stadium was a windy one. One that was filled with a sense of remembering, 
but also with a sense of the present, even if it was only long enough to concentrate on keeping 
mortarboards straight on heads in the blustery wind.

Finally, the winding black ribbon of graduates took their seats, ending the last walk through 
campus and signaling the start of the ceremony. The speaker that day was Missouri Attorney 
General John Ashcroft, and, as with most lectures, many students' minds were elsewhere. 
Foremost was the thought that separation was near, that friends seated on both sides were leaving and 
the time to break away had come.

Despite the seriousness of the occasion, the day was not was not without its comic relief. Many 
people were amused by the speaker's determined struggle to be heard above the wind, the 
efforts to hold onto resisting hats, the platform guests' efforts to keep the flowers from blowing off 
the stage and the attempts to straighten out the order of diplomas that had blown over, 
throwing the alphabetical order of master's degree candidates into chaos.

With smiles and tears, the ceremony came to an end and the recessional began. But it really 
wasn't a walk. Not structured like the processional. Not a walk with a friend and not a walk 
back to campus. Instead, it was a time for the graduates to be on their own to say goodbye to 
friends and look for families, to say goodbye to college and to search out careers, to say 
goodbye to the past and move on to the future.

For the first presentation by the Residence Hall Players Bye bye means hello 
by LISA BURGER

His presence was acknowledged by the screams and moans of hysterical girls. As he sauntered 
onto the stage, the lights caught the gleam of his white sequined suit. When his rich baritone 
voice belted out, "Oh, give me one last kiss, ain't never felt like this," the teeny-boppers, 
one by one, began to faint.

In the Residence Hall Player's debut musical "Bye, Bye Birdie," last spring, it was time for 
singer-idol Conrad Birdie (sophomore Bill Zuspann) to go into the Army. As a last attempt to 
gain fame and recognition for Conrad, his manager Albert (freshman Travis Laws) and Albert's 
girlfriend Rose (junior Rachael Gibbons) selected at random one of Birdie's fans, on whom 
Birdie bestowed his last kiss before entering the service.

The plot also involved a love affair between Albert and Rose, which was complicated by Albert's 
cheek-pinching, over-protective mother, Mae (freshman Cathy McLaughlin).

The Residence Hall Players, the first group of its kind on campus, was the brainchild of Dave 
Lascu, director of Dobson Hall. The idea came to Lascu in the fall of 1982 as a result of his 
exposure to a residence hall theater group while he was an undergraduate at Central Michigan 
University.

One of the main reasons for initiating a group such as the RH Players was that "it offered some 
new alternatives to residents. It was an educational experience from exactly beginning to end," 
Lascu said.

Not only was the play educational, but for most cast and crew it was a totally new experience to 
sing, act, and dance in a production that consisted solely of hall residents who were mainly 
non-music and non-theater majors.

Laws said, "The best thing about the whole production was that it eliminated the political 
presence and the intimidation that people often feel toward trying out for a musical when they aren't 
drama or music majors." Junior Julie Luetkenhaus, who portrayed the chosen teeny-bopper fan, Kim 
McAfee, had similar feelings. "I never felt overwhelmed by the talent. No one was more important than 
anyone else."

"We had no trouble getting people interested in performing," Lascu said. Perhaps the most 
unique aspect about the production was that it was totally residence hall oriented: all cast, crew, and 
orchestra members lived in the halls.

Doing a musical such as this for the first time presented many problems. Lascu said, "One of the 
first problems was getting the musical scores. They didn't arrive in time and this caused us to 
use tape recordings of some of the numbers. Also, we needed money and support from the 
residence halls. We put in requests for funding to the hall councils and at first some of them were 
skeptical, but I think if they saw the production, they'd know their money was well spent."

Rehearsals and set construction may have also posed problems to the residents of Ryle Hall, 
where the main lounge was used both for rehearsals and the actual production. The pounding 
of nails, screaming from teenage girls rehearsing, and the tune "We Love You, Conrad" were 
often heard throughout the hall.

Lascu hopes to alleviate this problem in the future. "The next time we do it, rehearsals 
will go on outside the halls so we don't disturb the residents. There was a problem with 
the set, too, because students could only set up the stage when they had time." 

Junior Randy Lee, who played Kim McAfee's brother, Randolph, thought "it was remarkable that 
everyone learned where to be, because the stage was built only one week before the 
performance." 

Another feature of the musical was that it was performed directly in Ryle's main lounge. "It 
was a challenge to convert the lounge into a little theater," Lascu said. Lee said presenting 
the show in the lounge "gave it a more personal atmosphere. In one scene, Conrad walked out 
and sang directly to the girls in the audience."

"I enjoyed the stage set-up," Laws said, "because the place looked like there were more people 
in the audience than it would have if it were put on in Baldwin. Plus, the audience was closer 
to the stage and this brought the acting down to the audience's level and made it more 
personalized." Laws also thought that "this contributed to the audience not being offended by 
the use of the tapes instead of live music because the show didn't try to be a Broadway 
musical."

But Luetkenhaus said, "The stage was small for some of the things we wanted to do. If it was 
bigger, we could've done a lot more dancing."

Lascu is planning on doing future productions, especially because "Bye, Bye Birdie" was, in 
his eyes, a success. "The entire cast was very supportive of each other. They really worked 
as one group, and that's why I think it went off so well."

"One of the most positive things about the rehearsals was that other cast members helped you 
out with your lines. It was nice to have back-ups like that," Luetkenhaus said.

Laws said he is "looking forward to the next RH Players production because the Fine Arts 
division only offered a musical every other year. We'll have to take it one year at a time, 
though. Organization is hard when working on a first production. But, next time we'll know 
what to do and what not to do."

One thing Lascu would like to do differently is to have the show in March and also possibly 
do some fund raising. The players organized in the fall and planned on producing a variety 
show in the spring to raise money.

"Another alternative to pursue in the future is that hopefully it will become a totally 
student-run production," Lascu said. That idea is a very real possibility, considering 
the effect that "Bye, Bye Birdie" had on cast members. "It was great seeing the students 
satisfaction in doing a good job and accomplishing such a program."

Near the closing of the musical, the teenage girls sadly waved to Conrad Birdie as he left 
for the Army. It was also bye-bye to the RH Players first production.

Chilled to the toga

Everyone dreams of a white Christmas during December. But snow on the final day of Greek 
Week, after the official start of spring, was an unexpected addition to festivities.

"It seemed pretty strange because it's not usually that cold," junior Cindy Cassady, Alpha 
Sigma Alpha member, said of the March weather.

Although the chilly weather cooled participation during the weekend Olympics, campus Greek 
organizations managed a spirited turnout for their annual spring celebration during Greek 
Week '83.

The coronation of the king and queen was the first event of the week. Sophomore Lori 
Petersma, member of Sigma Sigma Sigma, was crowned queen, and junior Jay Van Roekel, member of Phi 
Sigma Epsilon, was named king.

Awards were also presented at the coronation ceremony. Senior Katie Steele, member of Tri-Sig, 
recieved the Outstanding Greek Woman Award. Freshman Tracy Griesenaur, Tri-Sig, and junior 
Julie Moore, Delta Zeta, received Panhellenic scholarships.

Senior Carl Mueller of Sigma Tau Gamma, received the Henry M. Boucher award. Junior Jim 
Prewitt, member of Pi Kappa Phi, was the first runner-up and senior Jeff Menz, Delta Chi, 
was second runner-up.

"The award is to show appreciation for the service these men have shown, not only in their 
fraternities, but also to the campus," Mike Kacir, Interfraternity Council adviser, said.

The next night, March 22, the torch walk was led by King Van Roekel and Queen Petersma from 
the eternal flame to each fraternity house, then to Pershing Arena where the East-West basketball 
game was played.

The East team, consisting of members from Pi Kap, Sig Tau, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Sig, and Tau 
Kappa Epsilon defeated the West team with members from Alpha Kappa Lambda, Phi Lambda 
Chi, Delta Chi, Alpha Gamma Rho, and Alpha Tau Omega by a score of 53-52.

A wine and cheese party was held at the Sig Ep house March 23. "Faculty, administration, 
organization advisers and the presidents and vice presidents of the organizations were invited," senior Gary 
Lykins, co-chairman of Greek Week, said.

"It was a first time thing and we weren't exactly sure how it would go over. There were a lot of 
people and they weren't sure what they were supposed to do. We needed some type of 
program so the faculty could interact with the Greeks. There needed to be a purpose for the program," Lykins 
said.

Variety Night, held March 24, was a chance for the fraternity and sorority members to show off 
and have a little fun doing various skits. Phi Kap took first place, Alpha Phi Alpha took second, and 
AKL third.

Carnival '83 was held in Ophelia Parrish Building on March 25 and raised $300 for muscular 
dystrophy. "The Carnival gave a chance for campus organizations to make money for themselves 
and to donate money to muscular dystrophy," Lykins said.

The Olympics, held March 26, were the final event of Greek Week festivities. Despite Kirksville's 
version of "White Christmas" in March, the Greeks celebrated in traditional fashion with a keg 
toss, a pudding eating contest, a car cram, and a soda chug.

No one seemed overly surprised when they saw the white flakes that morning. The snow was 
"nice; (it was) uncontrollable and didn't hinder much," junior Bruce Schonhoff, AKL member, said. The 
day began with a few intermittent flurries that developed into snowflakes as big as golf balls 
pelting the Olympics' participants at Stokes Stadium.

"The snow caused the cancellation of the chariot race and the bathing suit contest," Lykins 
said. "Every other event went on as planned."

Phi Kap took first in the Olympics and first overall, with 425 of a possible 515 points. Pi 
Kap and AKL tied for second in the overall standings with 393 points. Tri-Sig took first place 
among the sororities with 435 points. DZ followed with 425 and ASA with 418, Susan Blair, 
sophomore Greek Week co-chairman said.

"Winners are decided by the total points accumulated from the events of the entire week. 
Everyone receives points for participating in Variety Night and the Olympics," Lykins said. 
"Substantially more points are given to the organizations that place in the events."

Point totals notwithstanding, Greek Week gave fraternity and sorority members a chance to 
strengthen the ties within their own organizations and promote unity throughout the whole 
Greek system as well, Schonhoff said.

"It's important for all the fraternities and sororities to get together and have a good time," 
freshman Matt Stelter, Phi Kap member, said

HOMECOMING

Bulldog Magic

It is fall's greatly welcomed annual romp - a time when alumni return to reminisce and 
students close the doore if only for a weekend, to the studious frame of mind. it is an 
anticipated riot of activity - careful preparations for a dance, float vaguely taking 
shape, intricate football strategies, the dazzling smile of the queen and the right color 
flower for your date. And all of it is the magic of homecoming...

HOMECOMING

Memorable events, reappearing alumni
mystically create part of the show

Homecoming 1983 appropriately set the stage for the reappearance of alumni with the 
theme of "Bulldog Magic." Along with the usual honor classes, (this year 1933, 1943,
1958,and 1973) 19 former homecoming queens helped put the emphasis of this year's 
Homecoming on the alumni.

"That just somehow or another made it special," Vonnie Nichols, director of student 
activities, said. She said she sensed a more mature approach to Homecoming. "I was 
able to see a lot of students interacting with alumni this year," she said. "I had 
the feeling that this was a more sedate Homecoming. Everywhere I went, I saw more of 
the people dressed up."

Preparation for the event began last spring with the selection of the theme. Plans were 
also in motion during the summer and continued after classes started when meetings were 
held with campus organizations, said Cindy Mueller, Student Senate homecoming committee 
chairman.

With the wave of a wand, Homecoming week got off the ground Monday with a bonfire and 
performance by the cheerleaders. Held on the intramural tug-of-war field, attendance was 
low for the event that lasted less than 30 minutes.

Freshman Luke Whiston said he was disappointed with the bonfire. "I guess I was expecting 
a party, more or less," he said.

The next night was definitely a night of magic featuring senior Darryl Nitsch in "My City 
of Magic." During the hour show of comedy and magic, Nitsch performed several tricks used 
by professional magicians. He has been performing for eight years and has performed on 
campus before.

"I've always had it in the back of my mind to be a professional magician, but at this point 
it's just a serious hobby," he said.

Wednesday night's powder puff football game sponsored by the Residence Hall Association 
found the team from Ryle, Blanton - Nason, and Grim Halls mystifying the team from Centennial 
Hall and Camp bell and Fair Apartments by the score of 12-6.

"I think it was the best game I've played in since I've been here," graduate student Leigh 
Lewis, vice president of RHA, said. "Both teams scored in the first quarter. It was the most 
competitive game in a long time."

RHA also showed Homecoming spirit by sponsoring a hall decoration contest. Centennial won 
the first place trophy, Dobson second, and Grim third.

Friday's pep rally featured skits, the introduction of the former queens, and the suspense-
filled coronation.

Senior Lynne Preisack was crowned Homecoming queen by 1982 queen, junior Karen 
Lindbloom, at the pep rally and coronation on Friday night.

"I couldn't believe it," Preisack said. "There were three girls living in the

residence halls, and one who was greek. it scattered the votes so that it was hard to 
pick who would win."

the four finalists were chosen by student vote prior to homecoming, and then they were voted 
on again thursday of homecoming. third runner-up was junior Tracy Dreessen (sponsored by 
women for green expansion). second runner-up was sophomore Tracey Griesenauer (Sigma Sigma 
Sigma), and first runner-up was senior Julie Luetkenhaus (Dobson Hall). Preisack was sponsored by Pi Kappa 
Phi fraternity.

winners of the skits presented at the pep rally were sigma phi epsilon, sigma tau gamma, and 
sigma sigma sigma, first to third respectively.

highlighting the weekend was the return of 19 former queens, including martha decker blair, 
who wore the first homecoming crown in 1939. the women were introduced during the 
coronation ceremony and the football game.

"we though brining them back would be a good activity for coronation," David Clithero, staff 
assistant for alumni development said.

Shirley Wares Mach, homecoming queen 1954, said she enjoyed coming back. "it's just 
marvelous!" she said.

Pam Mcdaniel, 1980 queen said, "I think the alumni turnout has helped (homecoming) a lot. 
and, as far as the weather, its superior.

and it was with temperatures slightly on the cool side, the parade got underway saturday 
morning.

the only thing that was bad was we had some enteries show up late which delayed the parade." 
senior jim prewit, blue key president said. blue key honor fraternity coordinates parade 
festivities each year. "as far as i know thats the largest parade in NMSU history," he said. 
Phi lambda chi fraternity won first in the float competition for the the 10th consecutive 
year. the baptist student union took second and adair county 4-H placed third.

Blair said that the parades have changed somewhat since the year she was chosed to reign 
over homecoming.

"I think there were 17 floates-horse powered," she laughed. one part of homecoming that 
probably brought back memories for Blair was the football game against the Mules of Central Missouri 
State. Warrensburg beat kirksville in 1939 and homecoming 1983 turned out to be a repeat 
performance as the mules beat the bulldogs (who had nothing up their sleeves) by the score of 31-13.

along with numerous alumni functions and get togethers, constellation II, a laser light rock 
show sponsored by the student activities board, helped wrap up homecoming weekend. the 
absence of a concert featuring a live band and an armory dance might have disappointed some, Nichols 
said.

"It's almost impossible to get a band for that (homecoming) time period," she said. as for the 
armory dance , she said new policies for using the armory made arragements too difficult and 
expensive for campus organizations. the armory now requires renters to hire their own 
surveillance personnel, purchase three different liquor licenses and pay for cleaning services, 
which the armory hires, Nichols said.

however, a dance was held in kirk gym friday night of homecoming, and admission was free. "I 
think it was well-attended," Nichols said. senior Karen Gordy, station manager of KNEU campus radio 
which provided music for the dance, agreed. 

"It was a great crowd," Gordy said. "i'd say there were approximately 500 people there. the 
atmosphere was right for a good time."

freshman Nancy Mooreman said she was expecting more from homecoming. "It was different 
from high shcool because I expected a formal type of dance, so it was kind of disappointing."

at least a few other students echoed these sentiments also. "this year there wasn't any 
participation." freshman Mike Bunnell said. freshman Bill Walton said he noticed a lack of interest, too. 
"I just think that people should be a little more fired up," he said. Perhaps freshman Louis Cohn
pinpointed the problem when he said, "it seemed like everyone took homecoming literally; they went home 
instead of staying up here."

despite disappointment in the absence of a formal dance, Moorman said she enjoyed some of 
the festivities. "I loved the parade and had fun at the game even though we lost."

Mueller said, "I've only been to one other homecoming before this and I thought it (this 
homecoming) went pretty good. we had a lot of campus organizations that were really 
enthused about it."

whether illusionary or not, those who were involved in homecoming activities appeared to enjoy 
it while some felt less delighted and amazed as their magical expectations drifted away. homecoming 
only lasts a week, but the magic of memories renewed remains.

open your mouth and say aaahh to Quality health care 
by SALLY TROUTMAN

The student awakes, shutting off an intruding alarm. Mouth like cotton, he swallows 
dryly as the cutting sensation in his throat causes his ears to ache. Slowly, he 
opens his eyes. To him, classes are the least of his worries.

After dressing robotically, he staggeringly makes his way to the building less than a 
city block away.

Once inside, the student finds an atmosphere like no other on campus. Gazing around the 
room, he sees other students, some resembling the sickly image he saw in his mirror that 
morning. He signs in and pulls out two dollar bills that usually go for midday munchies. 
He takes a seat and dumbly begins to thumb through a magazine until his name is called.

Relief is what he seeks, fast relief at a painless price. And he's only one of many. Some 
days find 50 to 60 students making their way to the Student Health Clinic housed in 
McKinney Center.

After the resignation of Dr. John Biggerstaff (who had worked at the clinic since 1952) at 
the end of the 1983 spring semester, the University began looking for a replacement to 
assume the director position.

Dr. Howard Hunt, head of general practice at Kirksville Osteopathic Health Center, was 
selected as Biggerstaff's replacement.

"They couldn't find someone immediately ... and we (KOHC) were right here available," 
Hunt said. The University contracted with KOHC and the Kirksville College of Osteopathic 
Medicine. Under this arrangement, Dr. Hunt works as clinic director while still holding 
his post at KOHC.

"I think we (KCOM and the University) should share more things together, and this is a very 
good way to start," Hunt said.

To insure professional health care, KCOM interns or University nursing students are not 
allowed to practice in the Student Health Clinic. The staff at the clinic consists of two 
registered nurses, one licensed practical nurse, a lab technician and Hunt. Receptionist 
positions are filled by work-study and institutional students. "The staff here is just 
outstanding," Hunt said.

Hunt said he anticipated no major policy changes in the operation of the clinic from 
previous years. However some students said they had noticed a difference in procedures 
whether they were planned or not.

"Last year you saw nurses, and sometimes that was it," junior Rick Kohler said. "The 
doctor is more available."

"This year, you have to see a doctor, and there's always a doctor there," senior Janice 
Toedebusch said.

Students go to the clinic for a variety of health problems, but Hunt said colds, sore 
throats and headaches are the most common. "A lot of people have allergies, too," he 
said.

Senior Julie Jamison said she receives an allergy shot once a month. She said that because 
it is on a regular basis, the usual $2 charge is cut to $1. The Student Health Clinic also 
sets aside certain days and times for giving flu shots free to students and staff.

Unlike some other state-supported colleges in Missouri, the University is still able to 
offer an on-campus health care facility at a reasonable price to its students. A physical 
examination form, student identification card and $2 can buy the student an examination 
and prescribed medicine if needed.

In past years, clinic procedures were questioned. Even so, students rarely complained that 
the facility was costly, hard to get to or not needed.

Senior Lisa Winger said she has had her doubts about the clinic's operation but feels that 
the clinic has improved.

"I think this new doctor is going to help it a lot," she said. "I've got my confidence back."

Hunt said he has set some goals for himself and the clinic, two of which are to offer programs 
in preventive medicine and "to continue to provide high quality care to the students at a price 
they can afford."

Perhaps Kohler best summed up the attitude of most students who go to the clinic when he 
said, "It's like the SAB card; it's the best buy on campus for $10. It's (the clinic) the best $2 
investment on campus."

Now leaving the building with a sprightly step, the student builds up a genuine anticipation 
for his afternoon class. Maybe he has found that reassurance from professionals and trust in 
their advice and care is the best medicine

Return performance 
Shooting Star Quality
by LAURIE WHITE

There are some things, like a blind date, that are good just once. But when it comes to 
concerts, it seems students like the situation even better the second time around.

Such was the case with Shooting Star. Originally from Kansas City, the group played to a 
small but warmly accepting audience in Kirksville in the fall of 1981. But after two more 
albums and a nationwide tour with Kansas, their return engagement on October 28 was 
anything but placid. Showmanship, camaraderie and the blistering white light from a five-pointed
star (which later was accidentally attacked by the flying tympani sticks of pajama-clad lead singer 
Gary West) were the order of the evening.

While on tour, the band plays material that "pretty much covers all albums," Charles Waltz, 
keyboardist and violinist, said, "Because of the nature of our career, over the past three 
or four years, we've had our special songs that have done well in specific cities, but we've 
never had one hit. So when we put together our set, we have to give just about everything we 
have attention. "

Shooting Star has been together about six years and was "pieced together slowly," Waltz said. 
"We started playing in high school ... and have gone so much farther than I ever really 
expected," lead guitarist Van McLain said. The band's latest album, "Burning", was released 
this summer and is doing "fair" on the charts, McLain said. "Our first album actually sold 
the most."

It was songs from that self-titled first album and the second album "Hang On For Your Life" that 
got the crowd out of their seats and dancing with upraised arms. The crowd acknowledged with 
frenzied cheers such songs as "Tonight", "Break Out", "Hollywood" and "Last Chance." 
Throughout the set, Shooting Star kept in touch with the audience as Waltz serenaded the front row with 
violin solos and McLain gave would-be lead guitarists in the front row a moment in the limelight when 
he offered them a few free strums.

The members of Shooting Star said they had looked forward to their second Kirksville show. 
"This is a great place to play," McLain said. "In a larger hall, you don't have the intimacy," Waltz said.

And although less than half of Baldwin Hall was filled, audience response gave the illusion of a 
fullhouse. "i thought it was great," senior Chris Harrod said. "I was there when I was a 
sophomore and they put on just as good a show as last time."

"I thought they were fantastic; I hadn't heard them before I came here," junior Dave Krieg said.

"I thought it was good. I knew more songs than I thought I would. The guy in back (bassist-in-
black Ron Verlin) really stood out," sophomore Stephanie Green said.

Student Activities Board, which sponsored the concert, sold around 700 tickets, senior Karen 
Gordy, concert chairman, said. "They put on such a good show that I was disappointed that more of the 
student body didn't support us. I think it was one of the best concerts we've had since I've been here," 
Gordy said.

"LAST CHANCE" gives Charles Waltz and Van McLain an opportunity to do some vocalizing.

(Page 33)

Grasping the brass handle and stepping through the door of Minn's Cuisine may create 
the illusion of stepping out of Kirksville and stepping into one's own world of high 
society dining.

"We want people to be proud to stay in Kirksville," said Julie Minn, who, along with her 
husband Wen, owns the restaurant featuring French cuisine, waiters in coat and tie and an 
atmosphere of class.

Coming to Kirksville in the late 1960's as international students from Taiwan, Wen and Julie 
Minn were concerned enough with putting food on their own table, much less anyone else's.

"We came here with very little money," Julie Minn said. "We made from this community; now 
we want to give something back. We feel like we owe Kirksville people something."

Before the opening of Minn's Cuisine on July 20, the Minns were into their 11th year of a 
thriving business at their Chinese restaurant, Minn's Tea House, which they still run. Julie' 
Minn said the Tea House is a favorite place to bring out-of-town guests for students and 
Kirksville residents.

"When we first came to open a Chinese restaurant here, people thought we were crazy. We 
worked very hard to make it as good as possible," she said.

So why open a new restaurant which just happens to be north of Old Towne Square, walking 
distance from the Tea House? And why French?

"The Tea House was doing good," Julie Minn said, but they still heard of a lot of people going 
elsewhere for elegant dining. She said that although the menu features French favorites such as 
escargot and imported wine, it all just happens to be food she and her husband like. "I would 
say it's kind of continental," she said, "kind of combined French and Chinese."

The new restaurant features not only a dining area decorated appropriately with fine 
upholstery, dim lights and soft music, but also a small adjoining bar accented in brass.
A Wurlitzer upright piano complete with microphone and sound system sits alongside the bar
for "anybody to play and celebrate," Wen Minn said.

Although the supper prices may not coincide with most student's budgets, the Minns are hoping 
that students will find the Cuisine a refreshing change from fast food places. "A change of 
atmosphere was really nice," sophomore Sherri White said.

"Kirksville needed a place like this where you could dress up and take your date for dinner," 
senior Mark Anderson said. "It's kind of nice to dress nice for work, too." Anderson is a waiter 
for Minn's Cuisine.

Whether the community will be able to support this unique restaurant is yet to be seen, but the 
Minns say they are willing to be patient.

"Any business is going to take time to build," Julie Minn said. "It doesn't matter how many 
people walk into the restaurant. We want everyone that goes out to be happy." 

AT THE THRESHOLD of Kirksville's newest touch of class, freshman Rich Smith and senior Mia 
Jazo enter the inviting atmosphere of Minn's Cuisine.

Only time will tell the value Of our house 
by MARY JO SCHMIDT

Only a few students get to do everything. No one else has a chance to get involved.

Anywhere else these statements might be accepted as true -- but not in Centennial and 
Dobson Halls.

Student involvement plays a major role in residence hall life. Halls are constantly 
trying to achieve the highest level of participation from their residents. Two of the 
larger residence halls on campus, Centennial and Dobson, feel that they have overcome 
some of the major barriers affecting student involvement. They use a method known as 
the "house system."

The house system, which basically increases the number of representatives per wing in 
a hall, is not unique to this campus.

Dave Lascu, director of Dobson Hall, said that the house system is used all over the 
country. "We designed ours to fit the specific needs of our own university. The concepts 
we use are similar to those used elsewhere, but we use the house system in a way that is 
unique to our university."

Ron Gaber, director of residence life, is a firm believer of the house system. "I feel 
that eventually the house system will be implemented into all of the major halls on 
campus."

The remaining halls on campus are using the hall council system, used previously by 
Centennial and Dobson, in which each wing is represented by two students. However, 
unlike the hall council system, the house system doubles the amount of representatives 
per wing, therefore allowing more students to get involved and voice their opinions.

In the house system, each house (wing) has its own government made up of a president, 
vice president, secretary-treasurer and an activities chairperson.

"There are eight wings in Dobson, which amounts to 32 representatives right there. People 
not serving as officers can serve on committees that deal with sports, food, hall 
improvements, snack bar and career consulting. This adds up to approximately 40 more 
people. Plus there are four executive officers for the entire hall. In the end there are 
about 120 people making policy and funding decisions, as opposed to 20 in the previous 
system. Obviously the students are better represented," Lascu said.

Lascu said that in the hall council system, only 20 people were making the decisions for 
the 400 residents of Dobson Hall. "There was a definite decrease in student involvement. 
Previously, all of the decision-making was thrust on only a few students."

Anne Dougherty, Centennial Hall director, observed similar differences between the hall 
council system and the house system. "The major difference is, first of all, the sheer 
number of students active in the house system. There is much more student participation. 
Secondly, there is more division of responsibilities. There are many more duties delegated 
in the system," Dougherty said.

"There are already 50 people signed up to serve on the committees, which are totally volunteer. 
I've also noticed that more people than usual are attending the wing meetings," Dougherty said.

In addition to the four officers on each wing, there are also four officers who represent the 
whole hall. This means that there are many more officer positions available to students. Half 
of the officers are elected in the spring and half in the fall, to give freshmen a chance to 
get involved.

"The president gears all direction to his house and the vice president acts as a liaison -- a 
correspondent who attends the senate meetings and reports what he has

learned to representatives of the house meetings. The secretary-treasurer takes care of 
the minutes and handles the budget. Although there are many separate units in the house 
system, there is still just one checking account for the whole hall. Finally, there is 
the activities chairperson, who is responsible for organizing programs for his respective 
house," Lascu said.

Senior Randy Lee serves as president of Dobson Hall Senate and is extremely satisfied with 
the new house system. "I feel really positive about it. It is a well-put-together program 
and so many people have become involved. More people than ever before are attending the 
committee meetings, which is definitely a change for the better. There is just a better 
response overall," Lee said.

Sophomore Denise Thraen, president of Fourth South House in Centennial Hall, favors the 
house system. "Things are going pretty good so far. We're a little disorganized because 
we have to have so many committee members, and the response is overwhelming. But I like 
the house system. It makes it easier to get to know everyone on your floor," Thraen said.

Dave Suddarth, vice-president of Dobson's First North House, also finds the house system 
to be working well. "So far everything seems to be going great. Right now we're in the 
process of finding a name for our house. It has to be named after a famous person from 
Missouri or a teacher or staff member who was involved with the University in the past, 
but who is now deceased," Suddarth said.

One of the houses in Centennial, Fifth North, named their house after Onley Bondurant, the 
editor of the first yearbook.

An interesting name is Dobson's Fourth South House, Disney House, which was chosen to honor 
the famous Missourian Walt Disney.

Lascu said that each house voted on a name and had it approved through the University to make 
sure discretion was used in choosing the name.

So, if the house system is so superior, why have only two halls on campus implemented the 
program?

Meg Wynn, director of Blanton-Nason Hall, is not opposed to the system, but feels it just isn't 
feasible for that hall. "Although the house system seems to be working in Centennial and 
Dobson, you have to take into consideration that they are larger halls. Blanton-Nason has only 260 
residents, and hall council is just as effective as a house system would be. I'm not saying 
that the house system doesn't work. I just can't see the need for it here," Wynn said.

Steve Wingert, Missouri Hall director, said, "Right now we just haven't looked into the house 
system. We feel here at Missouri Hall that our system of government works just fine."

"We haven't proposed the system yet, but we are planning to put it before hall council 
sometime during the semester. Right now the hall council system is effective. It has its 
disadvantages, but it also has its advantages," Lynn Zanitsch, director of Ryle Hall, said.

Darlene Baker, assistant director of Ryle, feels that the house system would be a wise 
investment for Ryle. "It would be an advantage to have more students involved. Right now we're 
waiting for evaluations from the halls that are using the system so we can examine the pros and 
cons of such a system. However, we are looking into such a system," Baker said.

their schedules at the scheduling program on Disney Wing in Dobson Hall.

Preparation and participation formed a Road tour on two wheels
by ANNETTE VAN DORIN

Growing interest in biking on campus and in the community culminated in 
the fall with the inception of a bicycle road race, the first in Kirkville's 
history.

The Tour de Kirksville Bicycle Race and Ride was held on October 23 as a fund 
raiser for United Cerebral Palsy. The twenty-nine participants received a break 
from a week of rain but faced 50 degree temperatures for the 20 kilometer (12.4 
mile) race, which began and ended at KCOM's Thompson Center.

Joe Rogers of Kirksville was the first to cross the finish line, completing the 
race in 38 minutes, 39 seconds.

The race was coordinated by Dr. Rich Cenedella, professor and chairman of the 
biochemistry department at KCOM, along with his wife, Andi, who has been in 
charge of UCP's telephone campaign for the past five years. Mike Phillips, owner 
of Mike the Bike, a Kirksville bicycle store, and other area businesses also 
helped sponsor the race.

Participants were awarded first, second and third prizes in four age categories 
ranging from 18 to over 50. Many of the riders were husband and wife teams or 
family groups, many of which were more interested in riding than racing. "We 
bicycle quite often, but this is the first race. We're really more out for the 
ride," said Barb Kristoffersen of Lancaster. She and her husband were riding 
together.

Rogers said more people are interested in touring. "There just isn't the opportunity 
for that (racing) around here. You have to go to a bigger area."

One person who was in it for the race was senior Sara Bjerk, who was the first woman 
to finish, winning the women's 18-28 division. Although the roads were rough, Bjerk 
said she really liked the race and would like to see it held at least twice a year, 
possibly in better weather. She was pleased with her win but hopes to do better next 
time. "I wish I would've started sprinting earlier," she said.

Another student who came in a winner was senior Kelly Beers, who placed first in the 
men's 18-28 division.

In addition to the ride, bikers got together to discuss the latest in bicycle technology 
and compare bike brands and styles. The Kristoffersens rode bicycles equipped with 
computerized wheel sensors, which featured indicators for mileage, speed, time of ride, 
top and average speeds as well as a stop watch.

"We'll probably do it again in the spring before the students leave. That's our hope," 
Cenedella said. "We're going to find out what we did wrong this time and do it right 
next time."

Bikers interested in touring also had the opportunity to take part in Sunday afternoon 
tours organized by John Settlage, assistant professor of science. The group gathered at 
the fountain on the Mall and determined the distance and destination of each ride based 
on the desires of the riders.

Settlage said that the group had been doing this sort of thing for several years. "Maybe 
there'll be enough interest to get a bike club going," he said. Settlage, his wife, and 
son were participants in the Tour de Kirksville as well.

Settlage was also involved in a bike ride for credit project held in May 1983. Over forty 
people participated. The group rode between state parks in the area doing environmental 
research in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources.

Evidence of student interest in biking could be seen by the crowded bike racks outside every 
building on campus. "There's more people getting into it (biking) with $200 and $300 bikes. 
There's a lot of people who are getting into more equipment," sophomore Kirsten Houtman 
said.

Houtman was very involved in biking when she was in high school. She is a member of the Quad 
Cities (Iowa-Ill.) bike club which has more than 700 members. "I mainly like the people," she 
said. "Also, you can do it (biking) leisurely or strenuously."

"I mainly tour. I've tried racing but I didn't really like it," Houtman said. She owns two 
bikes but doesn't do much biking in Kirksville. "I can't afford to have my bike stolen," she 
said. Houtman said she plans to bring her bike to school next year when she will be living 
off campus.

Revenge of the bat 
Romance and playful deception were the high notes
by JODI CARLSON

Any major theatrical production requires hours of rehearsal time, but an opera is even 
more challenging because it incorporates singing, acting, dancing, orchestral music and 
extensive scenery and costuming.

"Undertaking an opera is a major enterprise," James Severns, professor of dramatics and 
director of the fall performance of "Die Fledermaus," said. "There's probably nothing in 
art, certainly not theater, that's more complex than doing musical theatre."

"Die Fledermaus," (literally, "The Bat") by Johann Strauss, was selected by a staff 
committee from the Division of Fine Arts the previous spring semester. Auditions were 
held in early October for the principal parts, and the chorus was selected later in the 
month. Once roles were assigned, the work began for the opera's singers.

"The singing demands in most operas require very specialized training and very specialized 
voices," Severns said. For musicals, "you can sort of, in a sense, bring somebody reasonably 
talented off the street and train them to do a decent job within a few weeks, but you can't 
do this with opera; it requires years of vocal training," he said.

Graduate student Janis Lovell, who played Rosalinda Eisenstein, said vocal endurance was 
important. "It doesn't take that long to learn the notes and the rhythms, but what you have 
to be concerned with is consistency," she said.

In some operas, a principal might sing for a total of 40-50 minutes. In comparison, lead 
singers for "Die Fledermaus" averaged around 30 minutes. "It's a good opera for younger 
singers because . . . although the singing is full of operatic demands, it's not as intensive 
as some operas. That is, the singers don't sing as long," Severns said.

Junior Scott Wheatley, who played Gabriel Eisenstein, explained the complexity of performing 
an operatic role. "Most of the cast were singers but we had to learn to dance and act besides 
just singing because opera involves many facets of the fine arts," he said.

Lovell said, "I literally dropped everything else. You just try to get it (the character and 
the songs) into your voice more and more and more so that by the time you reach the 
performance you don't have to think about technique, you can think about the character and the emotion 
and just go with it. That's the ideal place you want to be by the time the performance comes 
around."

Besides singing, the elements of dance and orchestration required exacting work in order to 
insure a smooth overall performance. Choreographer AI Srnka, assistant professor of speech, 
estimated that 20-25 hours of work were put in on dancing alone.

"Two to three minutes of dance takes a great amount of time to choreograph; it all has to be 
created. It's not like learning a play (in which) the words are written down," Srnka said.

After the University Orchestra performed their fall concert, they moved into the auditorium to 
get the singers accustomed to having more than a piano for accompaniment. During this time 
the 
orchestra ran through the music, then with the singers, and finally in the pit for the last few 
nights of rehearsal.

Being in the orchestra is a "patience-taxing role," Dale Jorgenson, orchestra conductor, said. 
"When you first come into the pit (at rehearsals), there's lots of adjustments that have to be 
made in the lighting, blocking, the stage machinery, or 'let's run that over,' and all they do 
is sit there and wait."

In addition to the performance side of the opera, elaborate sets and costumes had to be 
designed and constructed before the performers could sing and dance through Vienna.

"The scenic and costume demands (in most operas) are extensive -- three, four sets, often quite 
different, intended to be spectacular plus historical costumes, not only for a handful of 
principals but also for a large singing and dance chorus," Severns said.

John Whiting, assistant professor of drama and set and lighting designer, began work on the set 
designs last summer and finalized them soon after school started.

Because the design process was finished, "instead of the normal five weeks for the opera, we 
worked on it probably eight, close to 10 weeks," Whiting said.

The entire set had to be finished by the time the final rehearsals were scheduled. "By the time 
we got the stage, it was 10 or 11 days before the show," he said. "And back that up. Three days 
before you put on the show, you'd better be in rehearsals, right? And when you're in rehearsals, 
you'd better have everything finished."

The amount of time allowed for set construction on the stage also included arranging the 
lighting. "We're talking 120, 130 (lighting) instruments," he said. "We probably went through two, three 
thousand feet of cable."

Providing costumes to fit the period of this opera was another challenge. Graduate student 
Nancy Goeke, costume designer, also began her work early in the fall semester. She sketched the 
costumes and chose appropriate fabrics from those in stock. Then she matched pattern pieces for each 
part of the costume, made adaptations and built from there.

"A lot of her (Rosalinda's) costumes were odds and ends to begin with," Goeke said, "but the 
materials were so rich that the costumes looked great."

"Die Fledermaus" required a lot of time by all those involved. "It's kind of hard to guess the 
human hours that go into it," Jorgenson said, "but if we had to pay union scale, we couldn't 
afford it."

Wheatley said, "It seemed like we lived and breathed opera for six weeks

NMSU Live

The stage was set. The facade of an old brick building served as a backdrop. The aura 
was one of a dark city street corner right down to the dim lighting and the flourescent 
graffitti under the fire escape.

Live! From Kirksville! It's NMSU!

In the tradition of Saturday Night Live, the Student Activities Board sponsored the first 
"NMSU Live" of the year, November 20, to show off campus talent.

"One of our goals this year was to get more variety and some new faces," senior Kay Holeman, 
"NMSU Live" chairperson said. "We were really pleased with the turnout."

Senior Darryl Nitsch emceed the event. "It (NMSU Live) gives people like myself a chance to 
perform, a chance to be stars on campus," he said.

Holeman was pleased with the large audience. "We want high attendance because it's so much 
fun. I think everybody liked the acts."

Concerning the ultimate success of the production, Holeman stressed all of the work involved 
in pre-show preparation. "I don't know if some people realize how much work all of this is," 
she said.

In addition to the usual posters, SAB's publicity committee tried such attention-grabbefs as 
closed-circuit video and sandwich board promotions for "NMSU Live", Holeman said. "We 
depend a lot on publicity," she said.

Holeman said she had to schedule the Activities Room in the Student Union Building for a tryout 
when relatively few activities were happening on campus so people who wanted to could try 
out. She then made sure there were no conflicts with the night of the show. "The biggest and 
hardest day is the day of the show," Holeman said, when sound, equipment, tables and the "NMSU Live" 
backdrop all are set up, and later, taken down. "On that day, we (the "NMSU Live" committee) 
rely on a lot of volunteers (from SAB)," she said.

The audience that evening was treated to a program of diverse talent, including "X Chanj," a 
band comprised totally of freshmen men.

"We're all musicians and we love to play," Mike Hellebusch, lead guitarist, said. The band 
appeared in "NMSU Live" in order to "gel out and make people happy," Hellebusch said.

Sophomore Gary Weble performed with his guitar. One of his songs, "Mud," was self-composed 
and he told the audience that it would never "be a hit because it's not about sex, drugs 
on violence."

for the campus to get to know us, because those are the people who will try out next 
year."

"I really like the swing choir. Those guys were really good," freshman Steve Seager said.

Freshman Kenny Kehner, who accompanied two of the evening's acts, said he enjoyed the show 
but thought there could have been more variety. "I would like to have seen a couple of 
comedians and more original songs," he said.

"It was a great show," sophomore Mary Nowlan, SAB member, said. "We had a lot of variety."

For a play on the time of Walt Whitman, the University Players painted a 
Portrait on the life of the man
by LISA CROSSWHITE

Literature students who are acquainted with the writer Walt Whitman may have heard him 
described as both impulsive and exotic, but also composed and secretive. Whitman was no 
ordinary man, thus a play based on his life would be no ordinary story. Proving this 
theory was a task the cast and crew of "A Whitman Portrait" had, and a difficult one it 
was.

It was difficult because "all of the characters were always on stage. Nothing much went 
on backstage," said freshman Gretchen Claggett, who portrayed The Woman. "It (the script) 
consisted of mostly poetry, which is difficult, and the blocking was very abstract."

The play had two themes which were based on the poetry and life of Whitman. The theme of 
the first act was "Youth and the Civil War" and the second act's theme was "Take My Leave, 
America." "The play had no plot," said Claggett.

The University Players' production of "A Whitman Portrait" differed somewhat from the original 
script. Director AI Srnka, assistant professor of speech, added six characters to the original 
four. The sparse scenery consisted of one set with three panels, on which 300-400 different 
slides depicting people and events in and during Whitman's life were projected. "This was done 
to give more people a chance to perform. The projected slides were used so that the focus 
would be on the characters and their actions," Claggett said.

Freshman Ross Walden, assistant stage manager, said, "The most difficult thing about 
the show was pulling it all together at the end, coordinating the timing of the actors 
with the slides and other technicalities. Technically, it was the most difficult show 
I've ever seen."

Aside from rehearsals and erecting the set, the actors in the play had additional 
individual work finding the mood of what Whitman was feeling, characterizing that 
feeling and practicing timing the flow of poetry involved in the production.

Clagget said, "I did research and analyzed the script which taught me to apply technique 
and that is very important. Focus, attention and motivation were more important in this 
play than in a regular play."

Walden agreed "It consisted of a lot of oral interpretation. The timing was difficult, 
especially because it consisted of three-quarters poetry."

Claggett perhaps summed up the unusual feeling of the play for the cast. " 'A Whitman 
Portrait' was something completely different than anything I've ever done," she said.

DYING WORDS of poet Walt Whitman create a somber mood in "A Whitman Portrait." Poetry
for the scene was taken from Whitman's "Leaves of Grass."

CONTEMPLATION of the future concludes the University Players' presentation of "A Whitman 
Portrait." The play was quite different from most University Players productions.

FROZEN in time, the cast of "A Whitman Portrait" waits to assume their characters. Junior 
Randy Bame (standing), as Walt Whitman, reflects on the plight of immigrants to America.

From Reaganomics and religion to 
Student polls show a
by TERRY

The days of liberal university students may be over if the results of the 1983 NMSU 
Student Survey are any indication.

University students have traditionally been considered liberal in the political 
spectrum. However, according to the survey, this is no longer true. The socially 
liberal student of the turbulent 1960s has gradually been replaced by today's 
conservative, right-of-center student.

Although the majority of University students (42 percent) claim affiliation with 
neither the Democratic nor Republican parties, the Republicans number 31 percent 
and the Democrats 27 percent among students who claim an affiliation.

Party affiliation was just one of 65 questions appearing on the NMSU Student Survey 
conducted by the fall public opinion and pressure groups class. The survey was 
administered in late October and early November to 509 randomly selected students. 
The sample universe included all University students attempting four or more hours 
during the fall semester. Every tenth student on the alphabetical list of qualified 
students was selected for the survey. Those students were then contacted by a member 
of the public opinion class, and the survey was administered.

The final sample consisted of 56 percent women and 44 percent men. White students 
outnumbered black students 95 percent to 4 percent. On-campus students made up 58 
percent of the sample compared to 42 percent off-campus. Another factor was class 
status. The sample consisted of 31 percent freshmen, 27 percent sophomores, 19 percent 
juniors, 20 percent seniors and three percent graduate students.

James Przybylski, assistant professor of political science and instructor of the public 
opinion class, said the survey has been conducted the last ten years. Most of the questions 
are changed each year to determine student opinion on the major local and national issues 
dominating political debate. Other questions, such as party affiliation, race, sex and 
religious background have been kept constant.

"At one time students were substantially Democratic,'' Przybylski said. "There has been 
a drift to becoming conservative in the last five years." 

Examples of the new conservative stands are most apparent in the domestic social issues, 
Przybylski said. Before 1982, the opinion survey reflected strong support for the Equal 
Rights Amendment. Since 1982, he said, student opinion of the ERA has changed. University 
students are now expressing slight opposition to ERA.

In response to this year's question, "Do you favor another attempt to ratify the Equal 
Rights Amendment?", 23 percent said they favor another attempt, 56 percent said they do 
not favor another attempt of ratification, and 21 percent said they do not care. Also a 
long the lines of equal rights was the question, "Do you feel that the present laws against 
sex discrimination are adequate?" Again, the response was a conservative one; 63 percent 
said the present sex discrimination laws are adequate while only 37 percent said the laws 
are not adequate.

The increasingly conservative ideologies of NMSU students was reflected most in their support 
for Ronald Reagan's presidency, Przybylski said. Four questions on the survey featured a 
hypothetical ballot for the 1984 election. In each con test, Reagan was pitted against a 
Democratic candidate as well as the Independent candidate John Anderson. Subjects were 
asked to choose the candidate they would vote for in each match-up. In contest 1, Reagan and 
Anderson faced Walter Mondale as the Democratic nominee. Reagan received 58 percent support, 
Mondale was given 31 percent, and Anderson received 11 percent.

Contest 2 offered Sen John Glenn as the Democratic nominee. Glenn received more support 
than Mondale but still lacked the support given to Reagan. Subjects were 53 percent in favor of 
Reagan, 34 percent in favor of Glenn, and 13 percent favored Anderson.

Jesse Jackson was the Democratic nominee in Contest 3. In this hypothetical
election, Reagan received 66 percent support, Jackson 15 percent and Anderson 
19 percent.

Contest 4 included Sen. Edward Kennedy as the Democratic candidate. Reagan was chosen by 
54 percent of the subjects, Kennedy 30 percent, and Anderson 16 percent.

Reagan's support among University students is a result of satisfaction with his performance 
as president and his policies on education, senior and public opinion class member David 
Thompson said. "Since this year is an election year, the most important question is 
Reagan's job

performance. The opinion poll results clearly indicate that President Reagan has more 
support among college students than people think."

Reagans popularity may be attributed to the unifying effect that the invasion of Grenada 
and the bombing of the American Marines in Lebanon had on the nation, Przybylski said. 
"Reagan was perhaps riding higher than he might have been because it was right after 
Grenada. His popularity did shoot up."

The invasion of Grenada and bombing of Marines in Beirut took place one-fourth of the way 
into the poll, Przybylski said.

Senior Dennis Coons, president of the campus Young Democrats and member of the public 
opinion class, said the results of the survey are not representative of national opinion. He said 
students here come from a more conservative background than the national average. The 
overrepresentation of freshman and sophomore students and underrepresentation of 
upperclassmen distorted the results, Coons said. "Older students tend to be more liberal than 
the younger students."

Coons said the Democrats will fare better in the official 1984 election. The campus black 
population is well under the national average which will give more support to the Democratic 
nominee, he said.

Przybylski said the results are quite representative of the national opinion. "Students here 
tend to be perhaps a little more conservative than average, but not too far off."

Subjects gave less conservative answers to questions concerning foreign policy, specifically 
defense, Przybylski said.

In answer to the question, "How do you feel about a mutually verifiable nuclear freeze between 
the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.?", 42 percent said they strongly support a nuclear arms freeze, 26 
percent somewhat support a freeze, 22 percent were neutral, six percent somewhat oppose a 
freeze, and only four percent strongly oppose.

"It surprised me, considering how conservative students are, that there was a very strong 
support for a nuclear freeze. I thought there would be more opposition to it than there was," Przybylski 
said. "Even Republican students supported the freeze."

Distinct gender gaps between men and women were present in two questions on the survey, 
Przybylski said.

The question, "How do you feel about the amount of money the United States is spending on 
defense?", created a significant gender gap in the responses. Twenty-two percent of the men answered 
that the United States does not spend enough on defense, while only 10 percent of the women 
had the same response. The United States spends too much money on defense was the answer 
of 42 percent of the women and only 26 percent of the men surveyed.

"Women tend to believe too much is being spent on defense. Men tend toward the response 
that just the right amount is being spent," Przybylski said.

Another gender gap appeared from the answers to the question, "What is your overall 
impression of Ronald Reagan's job performance as president?"

The overall impressions of both sexes were 12 percent very favorable of Reagan's performance, 
40 percent favorable, 24 percent neutral, 19 percent unfavorable, and only five percent very 
unfavorable.

"Both sexes were positive toward Reagan, but females were less positive than males," Przybylski 
said.

Many people believe that Reagan's lack of support among women is due to the ERA, Przybylski 
said. Studies have shown that men may be more supportive of the ERA than women. "So, one 
wonders that maybe it's Reagan's pro-defense policies that are having a big impact," he said.

University issues were also included on the survey.

One question was, "How do you feel about the beer poster policy on campus?" Ten percent of 
the subjects supported the policy, 54 percent opposed the policy, 11 percent said they do not 
care and 25 percent said they were unaware of the issue. The policy implemented by the 
administration in the spring of 1983 banning beer logos on promotional posters was lifted in 
February and replaced with a non-restrictive, no-stamping provision.

Another popular campus issue appeared in the question, "Many students do not know or have 
little knowledge of NMSU's new "value-added" policy. What is your understanding of the "value-
added" program?" A thorough knowledge of the program was expressed by only seven percent of the subjects, 
30 percent had some knowledge, 19 percent had very little knowledge and 44 percent had no knowledge 
at all.

Co-ed housing has been a popular question in the survey the past few years. Przybylski said. This 
year's question concerning co-ed housing was: "What type of residence hall arrangement would 
you prefer to live in?"

"The idea of residence halls being co-ed has always been supported," Przybylski said. This year's 
response was no exception. Forty-six percent of the subjects preferred co-ed housing, 22 
percent preferred single-sex housing, and 32 percent had no preference

POTHOLES are taxing in more ways than one. Students with cars, as well as permanent 
residents, must purchase city stickers. This was a controversial topic among students.

She shut the door to her room, cranking the volume of the miniscule tape player slung 
casually from the purposely ripped shoulder of her purple sweatshirt. With Michael 
Jackson singing "Beat It" just for her, she imitates a video dance step on her way to

swig from a can of caffeine-free cola.

From music to clothing, students were attuned to anything that added an edge to the 
familiar. The obvious source of some lifestyle influences came from popular entertainment. 
The record industry, which received a boost from such million-selling acts as the Police 
and Culture Club enjoyed visual reinforcement from cable's Music Television and movies, 
both of which served as a driving influence in fashion and fads.

And it was to celluloid that the fashion-conscious turned for inspiration. Jennifer Beals 
made rips and tears, once subject to embarrassment, socially acceptable in "Flashdance." 
If one couldn't bring herself to willfully destroy a perfectly decent top, she could find 
one at the nearest shopping mall ready-made.

A Japanese influence prevailed in many styles of clothing. One could rarely step into the 
neighborhood Mall or even a favorite Kirksville clothing store without noticing the 
prevalence of softened, earthy colors paired with the contrast of angular, highly 
architectural construction.

Urban looks came to the forefront. The glamour of rhinestones and the slick sheen of 
metal became ornaments of choice either on the clothing itself or accenting it as large, 
heavy jewelry.

On campus, however, most students turned to updated, refined classics, done either in 
traditional argyles or Modern art graphics. "It seems like everyone this year had duck 
shoes and mid-thigh winter jackets," junior Michele Lewis said, "and it

seems more people are wearing suits, blazers and skirts." Men, too, cared more about 
their apperance. "I see a lot of guys dressing sharper; it gives them a positive 
attitude and makes them look more mature," freshman Gust Zangriles said.

Some people seemed to be more concerned with finding a signature style than complying 
with a group norm. Some preferred to let their lifestyle determine their selection of 
clothing. Serious joggers were seen zooming down the sidewalk in sharply styled, 
neon-bright "activewear" as well as the standard worn grays, but serious sitters 
continued to adapt the active look for studying or watching television. "I think 
people prefer more casual clothes if they have early classes. People don't dress up; 
they wear jeans because they sit around," Lewis said.

Even so, students were not averse to "puttin' on the ritz" when the occasion so 
demanded. Women could choose from black done up in everything from the traditional 
little dress to an enveloping jumpsuit. And often before picking up his date for 
an intimate splurge of a dinner at Minn's Cuisine, a man was likely to step out 
in a muted tweed sportcoat over tailored slacks. Not quite so fancy, maybe? Perhaps, 
then, men and women both took well to pinstriped jeans, slip-on sneakers and classic 
Shetland sweaters for an evening of parties.

Fashion went beyond clothing, but reinforced an overall image of attractiveness. TV 
dinner manufacturers replaced congealed sections of meatloaf with reduced-calorie 
gourment veal parmesan on a plastic plate. Model Christie Brinkley joined the ranks 
of celebrities who parlayed beauty and exercise secrets in best selling books. And 
Cab bage Patch Kids, dolls the public thought were ugly enough to be cute, kept 
would-be Santas in a frenzy and helped give retailers their best Christmas in years.

Some of these trends crossed the line from fad to fashion after they passed muster 
from fashion leaders. On this campus, "outgoing people seem to know what new fashions 
are. They're more aware," Zangriles said.

"People from rural communities react in a shocked manner to fads and fashions. People 
in urban areas are more receptive because they see them more often," Lewis said.

Many times, what was fashionable was defined by individual preference rather than group 
approval. For example, the Salvation Army became an inexpensive source of vintage fashion 
that somehow made the whole wardrobe look new and gave the wearer a signature style. But 
wherever the influence came from, students knew there were options other than conformity. 
"It's good to break away from the norm and be different for awhile," Zangriles said

FOOTWEAR MENAGERIE is modeled by fashion-conscious hall residents. Animal slippers 
were popular also kept students' toes toasty during the winter.

Campus-wide renovations provide the handicapped with Easy access to facilities 
by LAURIE BARNES

Think of the last time you took a step into the south entrance of Baldwin Hall, Pickler 
Memorial Library, or the west entrance to Violette Hall. If your memory fails you, then 
maybe you did not take any steps.

The steps have been replaced with ramps that inconspicuously incline to the entrance of 
those buildings and other buildings on campus.

The ramps are just a small part of the University's renovation efforts to comply with a 
federal law that went into effect in June 1980. The law stated that all campuses must 
adhere to certain accessibility requirements to buildings and classrooms in order to make 
all programs available to handicapped students.

It was because of that law that Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction, appointed a committee 
in the fall of 1978 to draw up plans to determine the needs of the handicapped and their 
accessibility.

At that time only the Administration/Humanities Building met the standards. In 1977, when 
A/H was constructed, building codes and a concern for people with special needs were taken 
into consideration.

Special features were built into A/H to accommodate the handicapped, especially those 
requiring the use of wheelchairs, Doug Winicker, campus planner, said. The ramp on first 
floor was designed to allow access to the elevator which provided accessibility to all 
three floors.

Other special features, Winicker said, are the wider doorways, lowered wall telephones and 
drinking fountains, and the special door handles. The L-shaped door handles were installed 
so that people with physical limitations could open doors with a slight movement of the arm 
or hand.

All major academic buildings now have first floor access, Winicker said. With each renovation 
to campus buildings, handicapped facilities have been included. Ramps now allow access to 
Baldwin Hall, Barnett Hall, Science Hall, Violette Hall, Pickler Memorial Library and Kirk 
Building Restroom facilities are also geared for handicapped access in all of these buildings 
except for Kirk and that is in the process of being remedied. Winicker said work on the 
restrooms in that building was to begin in February in order to make it handicap accessible.

Freshman Steve Lund, who requires the use of a wheelchair, said the ramps in A/H enable him 
to get all of his classes. He said he especially likes the ramp built to the west side of the 
Student Union Building, "At the beginning of the semester, I had to go out into the highway 
(Franklin Street) to get down to the bookstore," he said.

Susan Jackson, assistant professor of nursing, also appreciates the installation of the ramp 
to the basement floor of the Union. "You never stop and think about it, until you're in a 
wheelchair or some kind of cart like this, about where you can and cannot go," she said. 
Jackson is able to walk with a cane, but requires the use of a special cart to get around 
campus.

Although the University has made considerable progress to accommodate the physically 
disabled, some obstacles remain. Some students see the need for upper level access to 
classrooms.

Seniors Judy Carter and Theresa Gordon both said an elevator is needed in Violette Hall for 
second-floor access.

"It's so easy for us (students) to walk up stairs, but the handicapped, in wheelchairs, are 
unable to use the stairs," Gordon said. Carter said the elevator would help others as well, 
such as the eldderly or those people with heart conditions.

Lund also sees the need for an elevator in Violette. He said he wanted to take a photography 
course, but did not because the photography lab is located on the second floor.

Winicker said some of the labs on campus, while not readily accessible, could be moved to 
accomodate the special needs of the student. Classes have, in the past, been relocated for 
student and/or instructor accessibility.

As for living facilities for the handicapped, only one residence hall, Missouri, is considered 
handicap accessible by code. Fair Apartments, although not accessible by code, have also served 
as living quarters for handicapped students. Missouri Hall was made accessible because of its 
central location in relation to other major buildings on campus, Winicker said.

Future renovations are to include the installation of elevators to Violette and Baldwin. 
Renovations to the Science Hall scheduled to begin this summer will include an elevator, 
Winicker said.

The University has come a long way to meet the needs of its special people. The present 
and future accommodations will not only benefit the handicapped students on campus, but 
also the elderly and other visitors who are inconvenienced in some way. The moving of 
campus equipment from one building to another will be made easier, Winicker said,

A BETTER APPROACH for Susan Jackson, assistant professor of nursing, is a wide ramp that 
gives easy access to the Student Union and mall area.

a 9:30 am class, rehearsal from 11 a.m. until the late evening and only one day off 
a week do no add up to a picture of glamour and excitement But combine these factors 
with travel, applause, an ambition and a love for their work, and all the sacrifice is 
worth it to the members of the Kansas City Ballet.

From the early morning ballet class to the time when Tom Bolander, director, dismisses 
the dancers, their lives revolve around the ballet. Such strict demands leave little 
time for socializing. Company dancer Brian Staihr said, "We have a social life but 
because of the demands of our careers we have to cut back a lot."

Staihr and other company dancers Jody Anderson and Brian McGinness all seem to enjoy 
the travelling that goes along with their careers. Travelling gives them a

chance to meet new people and to perform in different parts of the country, 
they said.

on tuesday, feb. 7, the company presented its first lecture demonstration of 
the season at baldwin hall auditorium. the lecture demonstrations are a regular 
part of the company's tour with the goal of increasing student understanding of 
dance technique and terminology.

with each lecture a history of ballet is incorporated with demonstration of 
steps and techniques as performed by members of the company.

freshman Alison White attended the lecture demonstration and thought the session 
was helpful to point out facts about ballet she was unaware of. "I never thought 
about the men having to be more athletic and the women having to be more graceful," 
she said of the difference between male and female dancing.

the lecture demonstration was not the only helpful performance put on by the company. 
a ballet workshop was held prior to the monday evening performance. ballet mistress 
Uni Kai, along with one of the professional dancers, demonstrated basic ballet positions.

more that 25 women attended the workshop. senior Jolein Paulding said the workshop 
was a helpful review for most of the women. it was beneficial to have a professional 
instructor present and a professional dancer to demonstrate correct movements she 
said.

senior Lynne Preisack said the ballet mistress was extremely patient with all of 
the women. "I was really impressed that she took the time to work with those of us 
who enjoy dancing, but have not had the formal training.

Regina Lindhorst, university instructor of dance, said the variety in the programs 
gave the students and opportunity to see the classical and more modern style of ballet.

the sheer love of dance, determination and lots of hard work gave dancers their 
reward - the chance to perform before and show off their artistic ability, Anderson 
said.

both Staihr and Anderson agreed that performing was the key and that the audience 
can reflect on the dancers' performance.

the three dancers also agreed that performing for university students helped the 
company, as a whole, to perform better. anderson said, "university students are more 
enthusiastic about us. when you hear a lot of applause and response from the audience, 
it gives you much more of a 'high.' you know the audience is enjoying the performance 
or at least hope they are."

applause greeted the dancers as they performed for a near-capacity crowd in baldwin 
hall auditorium. the company brought professional dance to the university under the 
sponsorship of the lyceum series.

for some students this ballet was their first live ballet production. junior angela 
robinson was one of those students attending a ballet for the first time.

for Robinson the experience was a favorable one. "it's something you can look back on 
all your life." Robinson said she planned to attend other ballets if she had the opportunity.

whether the kansas city ballet was performing before a large audience or a chose few, 
their "company" seemed to be well received.

Personality, decor and special menus provide diners with

That hard-earned paycheck just came in, signaling the time for a meal out. Besides the 
traditional fare of hamburgers and pizza, three new restaurants offered the community 
something a bit different.

Tutor's Deli, which opened in January, is located two blocks from campus. Co-owner Gary 
Moore said student business is "not like what we expected."

Moore said there has been big student demand for "build your own" sandwiches, so he decided 
to put them on the menu in hopes of attracting more students. "The sandwiches are starting 
to bring 'em in," he said.

In addition to a new sandwich menu, Moore said the deli is planning on staying open later. 
"A lot of students don't get out till 10 or 11, what with studying and all," he said.

Moore said the deli's hot case, which features broasted chicken and a variety of hot foods, 
is popular with students because it allows them to get a "homecooked meal."

Senior Laura Kean has been eating regularly at Tutor's since it opened. "It's like what I get 
at home; it's not like fast food," Kean said. "I think it's great."

Later, Tutor's began broadening its appeal by offering beer and establishing a food-and-drink 
"Happy Hour Special." 

Moore also planned to advertise with coupons to bring in student business. "We're ready to try 
anything," he said. "We want everybody's business -- it's just a matter of learning what they 
want." 

Original Jack's restaurant and lounge also opened in January in the renovated Travelers Hotel 
at 301 W. Washington, offering the town an atmosphere of relaxed elegance. "It's a very nice, 
quite place," Laurie Schmidt, general manager, said. "You'd come to relax, enjoy yourself and 
have a good time."

The restaurant features dim lighting, wall-to-wall carpeting, plants, candles, genuine linen 
and full-place settings. Schmidt said the quality of the food is tantamount to that of the 
decor. "Our food is wonderful; you can't find better," she said. The chefs specialize in 
French dishes, barbecues, prime rib, steaks and seafoods, and flaming desserts.

PINBALL WIZARD junior Barb Wakefield plays at Tutor's Deli. The deli attracted students because 
of its closeness to campus and its menu of homecooked meals.

"As far as students, it's the place to go when you want to impress someone," 
Schmidt said.

Too Tall Tuck's, a restaurant and bar destroyed by fire in January 1983, was 
scheduled to reopen as Too Tall Tuck's Two in March.

Carrying on the tradition of the original Too Tail's, Too Tail's Two will operate 
under the slogan, "Where The Drinks Are Too Tall and The Food Is Too Much." The 
Mexican soups and sandwiches, daily specials made from scratch, and generous drinks 
that were popular with the students and community will again be offered. Eventually, 
the restaurant would like to install a salad bar, deli manager Phoebe Throndson said.

The new restaurant, built at the same location as the old one at 220 N. Elson, has the 
same basic look and image with a lot of brass and oak wood for a "fancy, but easy-going 
atmosphere," Throndson said.

Daytime manager Stacy Jones said the crowds usually differ with the time of day, with 
business people coming in for lunch and students in the evening for drinks. Throndson 
said Too Tail's will attract a certain type of crowd because of it's atmosphere -- "KCOM 
people and probably an older group of people," she said.

Both women anticipated an enthusiastic response to the new restaurant because the old one 
was so popular. "I've heard how everyone misses it; it's going to be a neat place again," 
Throndson said.

Senior Jeff Suttlage looked forward to the reopening. "I like the decor," he said. "I also 
like the large-size drinks. I'll have to check it out and see how much it changed."

When Too Tail's Too opened with fanfare during the second week of March, students were as 
much a part as the anticipatory crowd standing patiently in line to step in as anyone else.
Reviews were mixed, but the indication was that Too Tails' Two will be as popular as its 
predecessor.

"I liked it; it had a good atmosphere," freshman Scott Achterberg siad. "You didn't have to 
dance; you could just sit around."

Students who were familiar with the original were generally satisfied with the return of 
Too Tall's. "It's a lot different but still a great time,;; senior Kevin Rockhold said. 
"I didn't like the 50's music as well as the old (former music)," he said.

Senior Barb Becker said she was "glad to see it back in town," but that she "really liked 
it better before. It's different, but maybe because of the crowds."

Although it "looks pretty much the same," Senior Jay Sturms said, "I think the new one's 
a lot better."

TALLER EVERY DAY, Too Tall Two's construction progresses steadily on the original site. 
The decor of the new building recaptured the original atmosphere.

Library, office, hall occupants forced to pack in Up to capacity 
by SALLY TROUTMAN

It's not a new problem, but it began to get in the way of the University's quest for 
quality education.

"There is a point when you can put too many people in a building," Ron Gaber, director 
of Residence Life, said. The word overcrowding may sound too strong for housing and 
building space conditions, but at one time, students had to be housed in hotels or 
meeting rooms in residence halls when the rooms in the halls were full.

"We found that those people weren't making it to the sophomore level," Gaber said. 
"There was an enormous dropout rate of 75 percent."

So two years ago, compact triple rooms were introduced -- 120 of them, all in the women's 
residence halls. But this year only a little over half of those rooms were at maximum 
capacity. Lynn Zanitsch, director of Ryle Hall said, "The big problem tends to be a 
lack of private space."

Freshman Rita Hiscocks lived in a compact triple during the fall semester. She and her 
roommates all requested double rooms, she said. "All of us were really ticked off, but 
none of us wanted to move out because the location was nice and no one wanted to move 
so we tolerated it for a semester." One roommate moved into the adjoining room and 
Hiscocks said all of the women "got along better" with the new arrangement.

Many offices housed in buildings that have or could have dormitory-size rooms constructed 
in them were moved. The ROTC division which occupied first floor Nason Hall and the Career 
Planning and Placement Center, which had offices in Blanton Hall were two instances in which 
relocation to other campus facilities was made. And, future plans for developing the bottom 
floor of Blanton Hall are another idea in the making.

"We've maximized the use of our facilities," Gaber said. "We've really tried hard."

"We need to refine the spaces -- quality-wise," Doug Winicker, campus planner, said. Winicker 
said the renovations to be done in Science Hall, Kirk Building and the Student Union Building 
are being done for better use of the space each building has.

"The square footage of this campus is enough," Winicker said. "Our goal is to in

tensify the quality of the environment and enrich it. You either use what you 
have or replace it."

Winicker said there has been talk of building more apartment-type buildings, but 
the expense of such a project is something the University can't afford.

"The building cost is the easy part," Winicker said. He said the upkeep after that 
wouldn't be.

The Administration/Humanities Building, built in 1976 is the newest building on 
campus (with the exception of the new addition on Barnett Hall). Winicker said he 
doesn't foresee any new expansions (except for the library) in the near future.

With admission standards raised and enrollment holding steady at 7,000, quality use 
of what the University already has is the concept that rings throughout. The numbers 
game helps Winicker and other campus administrators foresee the needs for space.

"Some class numbers are too large to do the best job of teaching we want to do," Darrell 
Krueger, dean of instruction, said. He said that in general, the University was working 
at capacity, but every phase of every part of the University is not at its capacity 
simultaneously.

"In a sense it's over capacity because if we were to have a better faculty/student ratio 
I'm quite sure that we would give more individualized attention to students and then we 
would have greater value added," Krueger said.

President Charles McClain said he thought it would be "unwise to physically expand now." 
Instead, he said the University has concentrated on "expanding our academic education 
reputation."

Quality control, both mental and physical, is what the University strives for. As McClain 
said, "All eyes are on us. We're one of the few schools putting itself on the line, and it 
takes a lot of courage." With that in mind, the University had to take new approaches and 
adopt philosophies to deal with the persistent problem of busting at the seams. 

A HALL-FULL line snakes from the lobby of A/H to the registration tunnel. A one-to-two-hour 
wait was a common experience during pre-registration.

Loss of student interest in RHA events prompt pause for reflection and

Once associated mainly with social activities, the Residence Hall Association 
attempted to become more needs-oriented this year.

RHA wants to be aware of what residents want and need. Junior Sharon Weiner, 
RHA National Communications Coordinator, said that the organization has changed 
from social activities to an inquiry group.

Along with trying to get a new identity, RHA had several problems, the most 
publicized of which was the cancellation of the RHA Football Relay.

The first problem encountered with the relay was finding a sponsor. The two 
previous relays had been sponsored by Busch beer. This year, however, a new 
poster policy had been put into effect prohibiting the use of any beer or 
liquor logos on any posters for campus sponsored activities.

"It was the poster policy" freshman Sherry Frazier, RHA treasurer, said. "They 
(Busch) wouldn't do it without their name on the T-shirts and poster. We didn't 
feel we could ask Busch to do it with them getting no credit."

After 7-Up said it would sponsor the event, the money 7-Up was allowed to give 
in sponsorship was not as much as expected, sophomore Melanie McCulley,

social activity sponsored by RHA was the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

RHA president, said.

RHA also had trouble getting enough people to participate in the run. Weiner attributed 
this lack of participation to several things. "First of all, it was a bad weekend. It 
just happened that most of them (runners) went home that weekend or had other plans or 
homework," she said.

Weiner also said that the sign-up tables for the relay had been moved from in front of 
the residence hall cafeterias to the Student Union building. She said that most of the 
people who go into the SUB live off campus, and the run was designed for those living 
in the halls.

Another project that RHA had trouble with was Alcohol Awareness Week. Response to this 
program was not as good as was expected.

"The nature of the programs was not what the students wanted to hear," Weiner said. She 
also said that the presentations were good, but that they did not interest the residents.

The reorganization was an attempt to focus RHA efforts on students' changing interests, 
McCulley said. "They can get social life off-campus, so the halls are getting away from 
social activities and focusing on their studies. For example, the halls bought computers 
instead of putting the money elsewhere," McCulley said.

McCulley doesn't deny that RHA did have some problems in student participation, but she 
feels the problem led to a productive re-evaluation of the organization. "If gone smoothly, 
we had all the internal change," she said.

Weiner said elimination and addition of RHA events and programs helped enforce the group's 
focus. "We rewrote the constitution, we're going to have a need assessment survey, we went 
to a conference this past summer and we are only keeping one event of RHA week, Mr. 
University," Weiner said.

The needs assessment survey is to gather information from hall residents about their opinions 
on residence hall living, Weiner said.

"I think RHA is a pretty good program except that the main problem is that they can't get 
residents involved. In effect that is because of the value-added policy, because people have 
to study more and that takes away from leisure time," junior Deborah Dollens said. "Maybe they 
could plan less activities, but put more emphasis on the ones they do plan. That way, people 
could plan around the activities."

"I think we have done more this year than we did last year. It's just that it's been in different 
areas," she said.

NOTABLE EVENTS are put to paper by freshman Rod Rogers, RHA representative, after a 
meeting. RHA 
made a change from social programs to study-related ones.

FINISHING TOUCHES for the Welcome Back Dance, sponsored by RHA, are applied by

SUPERNATURAL HOUSING is offered at a house on South Osteopathy Street. Occupants claim 
that ever since its construction, the house has been haunted.

FORTIFIED against the mundane, the castle provides its tenants with an alternative to 
ordinary apartment living. The house is divided into three apartments.

A CONVERTED CHURCH now houses residents of four apartments on Filmore Street. The 
building still contains its original stained-glass windows and color scheme.

Not your traditional roost
by SCOTT CHOVANEC

One decision made by many students, especially upperclassmen, is to move off campus into 
a house or an apartment. But how many of us would move into a castle or a haunted house, 
or even a church?

"I like living in the castle," junior Nancy Hall said. "It's like a commune, and we're 
all like a little family."

The castle, as it is known, is one of the oldest houses in Kirksville. Constructed in the 
early part of the century, it still stands at 502 S. Franklin.

The castle has been renovated into three apartments. Recently, a hair styling studio opened 
in the building and every now and then customers go in the wrong door.

"Sometimes people will walk in the front door and immediately they will be surprised when they 
don't see barber's chairs," senior Lisa Crates said. "It's pretty funny to see the expressions 
on their faces. We tell them that the shop is around the corner."

Along with the amusing times, living in the castle can have its drawbacks as well.

"It's hard to have private parties because people walking by hear the music, or see the other 
people standing on the porch, and they immediately think it's an open invitation," junior Janet 
Nicholson said. "I think some people don't realize that this is our house, and not just some 
place to go and drink beer."

The address 905 S. Osteopathy sounds like any other house address. But what is not typical 
about this house is the suspicion that humans are not the only occupants.

"I was walking up the stairs going to my bedroom, and as I was walking, I thought I saw a 
person standing at the top of the stairs with their arms extended," senior Ed Larson said. 
"It sort of freaked me out; I blinked my eyes, and they had vanished." 

The house, some claim, is haunted by spirits from the netherworld. Stories claim that ever 
since the house was constructed, bad things have happened.

"There was a husband and wife that used to live here a long time ago," sophomore Drew 
Maddox said. "The wife was pregnant, and one day the husband pulled out a shot gun and killed the 
wife and baby. After he killed them, he turned the gun on himself."

In a separate incident that supposedly happened exactly one year later, a teenage girl 
overdosed on drugs and was not found for about a month.

"People say the house is haunted, but don't believe in ghosts," senior Scott Carroll said. "I've 
lived here for three years, and I haven't had any scares. I like this house because it's big and 
it's pretty close to campus. The trees in front give it a warm feeling, and it's quiet," Carroll 
said.

If a castle or a haunted house sound like too wild a place to live, then what about the quietness 
and serenity of a church, or what used to be a church?

The address 502 E. Filmore used to be a church, but today there are four apartments where 
people once worshipped.

"The church was renovated in 1970, and the owners decided to turn the church into a money-
making investment," graduate student Billy Knock said. "I knew friends who used to live here,
and when they said that an apartment was available, I jumped at the chance."

The original color of the church remains the same along with its stained glass windows. Renting 
an apartment is not easy and all potential tenants are screened to see that no "crazy" or "wild 
ones" will move in and destroy the place.

"The landlord is very selective about who he rents to," Knock said. "He doesn't want anything 
damaged or broken because of a party or a fight or something. Everyone in the building knows 
each other, and we sort of look out for the other guy, "Knock said.

Vandalism spurs 'floor plan'
by TERRI REAMES

Along with test scores, enrollment figures and overall standards, vandalism figures in 
the halls also experienced an increase.

According to a study done by Bob Weith, assistant director of Residence Life, vandalism 
costs more than doubled this year in comparison with last year but were relatively normal 
compared to the 1980 and 1981 academic years.

"The problem on campus this year was an isolated one," Weith said. "Most of the major 
incidents of vandalism occurred in Missouri Hall where the greatest number of freshmen, 
male residents reside."

The removal and burning of two bathroom doors, a lounge table being thrown out a fifth 
floor window and the flooding of a bathroom in the hall were a few of the "major" 
incidences Weith was referring to. "Most of the vandalism is caused by people coming in 
late at night drunk. If they're in a bad mood, they take it out on the hall. Some people 
do it because everybody else does it," freshman Robert Norton, Missouri Hall resident, 
said.

Other major incidences of vandalism in the halls include a broken lamp in Centennial Hall, 
a broken glass door in Brewer Hall, broken windows in Blanton-Nason Hall, a chair stolen 
from Ryle Hall lounge and a hole punched in a wall in Dobson Hall. This vandalism amounted 
to $1,582 in damages.

"Vandalism is demoralizing and frustrating," Weith said. It reflects on the attitudes of 
society today, he said.

"In a way, the continued vandalism in our hall was good," Steve Wingert, director of Missouri 
Hall, said. "It eventually frustrated residents enough to raise their awareness levels. It 
made them more helpful in wanting to catch the vandals."

Missouri Hall Government drew up sanctions to be taken in the case of continued vandalism. 
The sanctions were made in an attempt to make residents get actively involved in stopping 
vandalism, Wingert said. Hall bulletin boards and floor meetings also stressed the point, 
he said.

"Vandalism in Dobson Hall was not as great as it has been in the past," Dave Lascu, director 
of Dobson Hall, said.

This year Dobson Hall changed its floors from "wings" to "houses." This created a greater 
feeling of community and sense of home, Lascu said.

"Environment affects people a lot," Lascu said. "A positive environment brings out positive 
actions and feelings in people."

Positioning of the rooms the resident assistants occupied in Dobson Hall made them highly 
accessible and may have also lowered vandalism in the hall Lascu said.

In Centennial, this idea of positive environment was echoed, resulting in incidents of vandalism 
to the hall. Anne Dougherty, director of Centennial Hall, said.

"We had a higher incident of vandalism on weekends in connection with a higher number of 
visitors to the dorm," Dougherty said.

"When they (visitors) depreciate our living environment it causes resentment among our 
residents towards outsiders," she said.

The women in Centennial were informed about vandalism and its effect on them. They were 
helpful in controlling it, Dougherty said.

Lynn Zanitsch, director of Ryle Hall, said she was fortunate to live in a women's hall. "Because 
men are physically more capable, there tends to be more destruction in their (male) halls," 
Zanitsch said.

Ruth Myers, director of Grim Hall, attributes the high awareness levels of Grim Hall residents to 
low vandalism.

"The girls here are very much aware of what the money needed to cover vandalism costs could 
be used for when there is no vandalism," Myers said.

In the past Grim Hall has bought exercise equipment and a microwave oven from the vandalism 
money it has saved, she said.

In comparison to Missouri Hall, which has the highest amount of vandalism along with the most 
freshman men residents, Grim, which had 75 percent freshmen or new residents had the lowest 
amount of vandalism on campus.

Some reasons were given for the higher percentage of vandalism this year.

"It could be due to the value-added program putting more pressure on the students," Wingert 
said. "Then they (students) use vandalism as a way of letting out frustrations.

"However, I have also heard a lot of freshmen complaining about boredom," Wingert said. 
"They said their general ed classes weren't challenging."

Another factor attributed to vandalism levels involved hall staff and how vandalism had been 
dealt with in the past, Weith said. Vandalism also seens to correlate with alcohol consumption, 
he said.

"The key to vandalism lies at the student level," Weith said. "RAs and other staff members are 
knights in shining armor but students are the solution to vandalism."

Like clockwork, stress begins 
Prior to midterm and finals week students begin to assess a semester's work
by JOE PEREZ

Only minutes remain as the class finishes the exam. Some students shift their pens 
into high gear, writing all bits of information that comes to mind. Other students 
pause, unable to recall the correct answer. The instructor now calls for all exams. 
Students exit the classroom, some leaving with somber expressions. Bad performance 
on exams for many students may lead to feeling of tenseness and worry. It is 
sometimes the start of stress.

According to Ray Klinginsmith, general counsel, college students nationwide may experience 
more stress now because of the upgrade in academic standards. Klinginsmith said advanced 
technology and the increase of college students are also reasons why a student may be under 
greater stress.

"Before there was a relaxation in academic standards. Now everyone wants to succeed," he 
said.

Throughout campus, one often hears that value added philosophy hasn't created a lot of stress 
for students. "It's misunderstood. It's a measure of students progress. It recognizes weaknesses 
of academic programs. No one is under pressure to do well. It is up to each individual," 
Klinginsmith said.

Jack Reiske, professor of education, said the boost in academic standards is not the main reason 
why students may feel more stress now. Reiske believes many students may initiate the stress 
upon themselves. "I feel they're are a number of students who experience stress because they have 
no well-defined goals. Whatever stress they're experiencing is because of lack of effort. It's 
self-induced," Reiske said.

Reiske said some students often experience stress because work accumulates. "When there is 
last minute efforts, things pile up, then there is stress. A student should give studying a
40-hour work week," he said.

Sophomore Susan Tuley said, "My academic schedule is harder. There is more work. Once in a 
while I'll feel burdened with homework, but I realize if I want an education, it's something 
I have to do." Sometimes I feel swamped under. There's a lot of pressure with tests. Students 
have to study more than before because it's harder now. It's always like an uphill climb," soph. 
Sue O'Rourke said.

The University offers some types of counseling to students through Testing Services, Freshman 
Counseling, Residence Life, plus vocational counseling through the Career Planning and 
Placement Center, the psychology department and the Student Health Clinic.

Some feel the services need to be offered in a centralized location. "There would be more 
continuity. Students would be more comfortable in approaching the situation. Sometimes it
may be difficult for students to know where to go," David Lascu, director of Dobson Hall, said.

Elsie Gaber, freshman counselor, said two weeks before midterm and finals week are common 
times when students become stress latent. "It's a high time to assess their semester of how 
things are going. They have some concrete performance through the first test or major assignment 
of how they're doing," Gaber said.

Gaber said when counseling students, the most common stress problem concerns time 
management, priorities, and being inadequately prepared for the first exam of a class. 
"Stress is always a factor in college. Every student who is stressed-out may seem to think
it's due to value added," Gaber said. "When you begin to identify reasons outside yourself 
for a problem then you're not really identifying a problem. In order to change, you have to 
look inside yourself and look how you can change the situation."

Whether there is more stress now than in the past is debatable, but psychologists believe it has 
become more pervasive. Only recently was stress placed in the medical vocabulary because 
before there was not an acceptable definition of the concept.

Sal Costa, professor of psychology, said stress is the accumulation of frustrations and anxieties 
that are difficult to cope with and difficult to resolve.

"The only stress I see now is based on grade competition. Students are now becoming aware of 
the fact that in order to secure a good job and a good education, they're going to put forth more 
effort into studying and that creates stress," Costa said.

Costa said the psychology department assists many students who may experience stress 
because of academics. The department offers free counseling and hypnosis. Most students
who utilize the services seek help to concentrate better in order for more productive studying.

Psychologists recommend a number of ways to cope with stress, including having control of 
one's life, support from friends, a positive and flexible attitude and regular exercise. 
Costa believes doing things that helps one relax will help one release stress.

Lascu said resident assistants serve as an informal type of counseling assistance for students. 
"The RAs are available at all times. If they can't handle a problem they'll refer it to me. We 
keep an eye on students and their health. If we see something might be wrong, we'll meet with 
them." Lascu said.

PRESSING PROBLEMS seem smaller when shared with someone. Freshman Joyce Long talks with 
counselor Robin Lukefahr about dealing with everyday stress.

contrary opinions cause students to Straddle the fence

As indigenous to student's life as group assignments, early morning classes, soap 
operas and road trips is value added. Understood by some, questioned by others, 
value added as an academic innovation managed to draw mixed reactions from students.

Some thought value added was a bright thought that was misdirected. "I think it's a 
good idea, but since I've already been here for two years, it's kind of late to try 
to push value added on upperclassmen. For incoming freshmen, I think it's a good idea," 
junior David Ball said.

Sophomore Lisa Clark said she thought value added could take students' feelings into 
greater consideration. "They're (administration) using the parts they want to use, 
like the harder curriculum, but they're not taking into consideration the voice of 
the students," she said.

By constructively using such tools as the student opinion surveys, value added could 
be applied like it's supposed to be applied, Clark said. "There'd be more opinions of 
students of how campus can be changed," she said.

One student spoke out on value added through his pen. "I have nothing against value 
added," junior Dewayne Whiteside said. "My cartoons are kind of a viewpoint, kind of 
a sarcastic thing I do for humor." 

Whiteside's cartoons satirizing value added appeared in the Index, but he said, "I'm 
not trying to be pro or con. I don't represent anybody."

A collective student's voice was heard in the Value-Added Club. The 19 member group had 
no dues or presiding officers. "Our club feels that officers are not needed, for we want 
everyone to feel that they are on the same level, and a hierarchical situation tends to 
deter the desired atmosphere," sophomore Brian Kean said.

"Social development" is an important aspect of value added to the Value-Added Club. "As 
the value-added concept develops the social as well as the academic facets of the student, 
we promote extra-curricular activities to enhance academic growth," freshman James Peavler 
said.

Some students are not aware of the value-added concept and thus are unable to judge the 
effect it's had on thier lives. "It doesn't affect me," sophomore Wally Sparks said. "I 
really don't know much about it."

"I guess it's a good idea, but I haven't heard a whole lot about it," freshman Ken Johnson 
said. "I don't think it has affected me personally."

"I think it's to help improve the quality of the education I'm getting here," freshman Susan 
Reilly said. "I'm studying more now." Although aware of the concept, Ball said it hadn't really 
affected his life. "It seems like this year we have more stuff to turn in, but I don't know 
if that's value added," he said.

"It does seem harder to make the grade this year if you don't study more," Clark said.

Value added hasn't made a change in her lifestyle, but freshman Marjeanna Pitts said, "I 
think it will probably make a difference in education level and quality."

Value added continues to be integrated into the University's academic program, but Whiteside 
said, "I haven't heard anything positive myself because no one really knows what it is. People 
think it's something to lower their GPA." 

SATIRIST junior Dewayne Whiteside was a cartoonist for the Index. Whiteside's cartoons were a 
playful poke at value added, and not meant to put the concept down.

'The Dance'

"Classical yet contemporary, figurative but also abstract," is how sculptor Larry Young 
classified his work displayed during a show in Baldwin Hall's art gallery and on campus. 
The show, which opened Sept. 7 and closed Sept. 23, featured 15 bronze	pieces and one 
of marble.

Young learned the foundry process of casting bronze while in the Navy. He incorporated this 
knowledge into his study of basic sculpture skills while attending Columbia (Mo.) College.

Prices for Young's work range from $ 1,500 for an 18-inch sculpture to $25,000 to $35,000 for 
a 6-foot sculpture.

The Soviet Union was slow to reveal facts concerning the downing of Korean Airliner 
007 and the continued no-shows of President Yuri Andropov at key events.

On September 1, a Korean Airlines Boeing 747 was shot down over the Sea of Japan by two 
heat seeking missiles fired by a Soviet pursuit plane. All 269 people on board were killed.

The Soviet government would not admit that they had shot the plane until six days after the 
incident. The admittance was made by Soviet officials less than one hour after the United 
Nations Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick presented tapes of the Soviet pilot's radio conversations 
to the U.N. Security Council. The Kremlin insisted that the passenger craft had entered Soviet 
airspace and was a spy plane. Soviet Ambassador Oleg A. Troyanovsky said that the plane's 
crossing into Soviet territory was a preplanned violation. He also said that Soviet pilots 
tried unsuccessfully to establish contact with the aircraft three times before firing and that 
the 747 was flying without lights, a sign of an intelligence mission.

On the tape, the Soviet pilot referred three times to the fact that the plane's lights were on. 
The pilot also said that he fired cannon bursts six minutes before firing the two missiles. 
Korean Airlines officials said that there was no warning.

President Ronald Reagan demanded an apology from the Soviet Union. He also wanted 
restitution and suggested retaliatory measures that would retain economic and 
diplomatic relations with that country.

Illness has kept Soviet President Yuri Andropov from his office since August 18.

Andropov was diagnosed as having diabetic nephropathy, a degenerative kidney disease.

Moscow tried to gloss over Andropov's seclusion, but the illness prevented Andropov from 
presiding at meetings of the Communist Party Central Committee and the Supreme Soviet, the 
country's parliament.

Andropov's continued absence caused speculation that he would not be able to remain in office. 
Even so, he showed no signs of stepping down.

Parents' Day

The 32nd annual Parents' Day on Sept. 17, drew more than 4,000 friends and relatives of 
students. Although this year's event marked a lower attendance than last year, the number of 
families attending was up from 1,069 last year to 1,197 this year, Vonnie Nichols, director
of student activities, said.

The day's events included a general assembly where President Charles McClain and Student 
Senate president Kevin Smith were the guest speakers, as well as the traditional picnic held 
in Red Barn Park.

Stokes Stadium was packed to the hilt for the Bulldog-Minnesota Duluth football match, and 
fans were rewarded with a 20-19 squeaker.

Parents were also invited to attend open house in the residence halls and meet with University 
faculty members and administrators.

The day's activities wound to a close with a hypnotist show performed by George Vaugh 
Lowther. The program was sponsored by the Student Activities Board.

Although Andropov's life expectancy was allegedly limited to no more than two years, 
Soviet television announced endorsements for his re-election to the Soviet presidency in 
March. Andropov had been nominated by 20 Soviet electoral districts.

Because the Soviet government had been so secretive about Andropov, it came as a big 
surprise to the Soviet people and the rest of the world when Andropov died on February 
9 as a result of a complex case of kidney failure. Succeeding him as head of the Soviet 
party was Konstantin Chernenko, who had also been in the running for the post when 
Andropov's predecessor, Leonid Breszhnev, died in 1982.

Diaries

What was first thought to be the journalistic find of the post-World War II years was 
revealed to be nothing more than an elaborate hoax. The West German photo-weekly Stern 
declared on April 22 that it had in its possession 62 volumes of Adolf Hitler's supposed 
long-secret diaries. The magazine planned to publish the diaries in a series and had even 
sold the publishing rights to other publications. Only after chemical tests showed that 
the diaries were made of materials invented after World War II did Stern admit that the 
diaries were forgeries.

Crosswalk

Because of the persistance of the University community, Patterson Street now has a traffic 
light between Dobson and Ryle Halls.

The crosswalk has four new overhead stoplights, two for eastbound traffic and two for 
westbound. The stoplight also has a "walk don't walk" indicator and a push-button control.

Installation of the signal was completed the first week of school in the fall. Several 
serious accidents had previously occurred at the crosswalk, and as a result, a committee 
of students, administration and faculty had been working to obtain crosswalk facilities. 
Committee members counted people and cars that used the crosswalk and showed that it was 
one of the most busy in the city.

Some students did not like waiting for the light to change, preferring the stop sign which 
always made the motorist stop. Others felt the lights insured a smoother flow of vehicle 
traffic.

AGAINST the light, junior Ger-vase Ndoko crosses Patterson Street crosswalk between Dobson 
and Ryle Halls.

Peace keepers found themselves in war-like situations following U.S. involvement in Lebanon 
and Grenada.

Early on the morning of Oct. 23, a building on the edge of the Beirut International Airport 
that housed 200 sleeping United States Marines was decimated by a truck containing an 
estimated 2,000 pounds of explosives.

Sent to Lebanon by President Ronald Reagan more as a precautionary measure than for actual 
combat, the 1,600 Marines were part of a multi-national peace-keeping force established to 
maintain stability in a nation troubled by political and religious strife.

The suicide bombing was carried out by fanatic religious rebels seeking to gain control of 
the Lebanese government. The rebels drove a truck containing dynamite through the Marine 
compound, ramming into the four-story building. The resulting explosion killed over 147 
Marines and injured over 60.

In response to the bombing, Reagan said, "I know there are no words to express our outrage 
and the outrage of all Americans at this despicable act. But I think we should all recognize 
that these deeds make so evident the bestial nature of those who would assume power if they 
could have their way and drive us out of that area."

In the months after the bombing, some members of Congress stepped up their efforts to get the 
Americans removed from the war-torn region. Their efforts paid off when President Reagan 
started troop removal maneuvers from Lebanon in
 
(Page 68)

Peacekeepers continued

February. But opponents felt the move had the potential to weaken the influence of 
American foreign policy because it might be interpreted as failure to take a stand 
in the crisis.

Conflict continued in the war-torn region after the Marines left, but several leaders 
of opposing factions met in Switzerland in March to discuss peaceful alternatives to 
the situation.

The Index interviewed several students about their views on U.S. intervention in Lebanon. 
"I don't know if we should really be there or not. I just hope it doesn't escalate into 
another Vietnam. It's not really our war; I don't see the point," senior Teri Coleman said.

A bloody overthrow of the semi-socialist government on the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada 
prompted President Ronald Reagan to dispatch an order-keeping force consisting of 2,000 
United States Marines there in the last week of October. Reagan administration officials 
said the Marines were sent to insure the safety of about 1,000 Americans on the island, most 
of whom were medical students.

Termed Operation Urgent Fury, the Marines flushed out both rebels and their leader, General 
Hudson Austin. Rather than being outraged at the intervention, most Grenadians seemed happy 
to see the Americans.

The Marines returned home with no casualties after helping to establish democratic rule on 
the island.

Baltimore strip

Construction of a three-lane highway on U.S. Highway 63 (Baltimore Street) caused lines of 
congested traffic and angry motorists as traffic slowed to a crawl.

The construction began last May and was scheduled to be completed at the end of this June. 
Much of the construction involved moving water lines along the highway in order for the 
widening to take place.

The construction will make possible a third lane to be designated as a turning lane and allow 
for the continuation of Baltimore as a three-lane road.

Student protest

In protest of American involvement in Lebanon, freshman Cathy Faulkner planned a peaceful 
protest march to take place Nov. 7 from the Student Union Building to Old Towne Square. About 70 people 
agreed to march with her, but many withdrew due to parental pressure, fear of antagonism or 
change of viewpoint. Nonetheless, Faulkner and three others marched, carrying signs proclaiming "One 
death is too many; 229 is ridiculous;" "Peacekeeping?" and "Bring them home."

Nabil Mohammad Alghalith, senior from Jordan, was one of the participants. "We shouldn't lose 
men's lives for nothing," he said.

Later that week, Faulkner posted signs asking students their views of Lebanon, hoping to gain 
supporters as well as learn more about opposing opinions. She said she received about 20 calls.

Faulkner said she thought it was important to stage the protest because Reagan's claim that 
American presence promoted human rights contradicted what actually occurred there.

"Just because we are having problems in a foreign country, some people will have negative 
feelings for all foreigners," Faulkner said.

Jackson/Goodman

Thanks to the help of Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson, Lt. Robert O. 
Goodman, Jr. made it home safely in January.

Goodman, a Navy flyer who was shot down by Syrian anti-aircraft planes over Lebanon, 
was held captive for a month.

Jackson traveled on a self-appointed pilgrimage to Syria, negotiated with the Palestine 
Liberation Organization spokesmen and eventually secured Goodman's release following a 
meeting with Syrian President Hafez Assad.

The Reagan Administration did not interfere in the negotiations for fear of injuring 
Jackson's credibility with the Syrians.

Goodman, accompanied by Jackson, flew home to the United States after what seemed a 
no-strings-attached agreement with the Syrians. President Reagan thanked Jackson on 
nationwide television for his effort in retrieving the young black officer.

Goodman's release helped ease tensions between the U.S. and Syria and earned Jackson some 
points in his quest for the Democratic nomination.

Jackson is not the first black to run for the presidency. (Rep. Shirley Chisolm of New York 
ran in 1972). Jackson's leading contenders for the nomination include former vice-president 
Walter Mondale and former astronaut John Glenn.

Weekenders

Competition was tense when 400 high school students visited campus to take the examination 
for President's Distinguished and Honorary Scholarships on the weekend of October 1-2.

The University awarded a total of 10 scholarships. The top two scorers on the exam received 
President's Distinguished Scholarships, which cover full tuition, fees and room and board.

The main purpose of the weekend was to recruite potential students and inform them about the 
University.

Weekend.

Winter in Sarajevo ushered in the Olympics and brought the reality closer for the summer 
host -- the U.S. Expectations heightened with the chance to see world-wide competition.

The 1984 Winter Olympics held February 7-9 in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, gave high hopes to 
U.S. athletes.

The United States Olympic team received improved training, which resulted in fine-tuned 
athletes. The U.S. was pegged to win twice as many medals as it did in Lake Placid in 1980.

The predictions fell through, however. The American team won only eight medals -- four gold 
and four silver. And those medals came slow for the Unites States Olympic team as many 
thought they would never see sight of gold, silver or bronze.

A disappointment was the U.S. hockey team. The fabled "miracle of 1980" failed to repeat 
itself. The U.S. didn't win a medal and the gold medalists were the top-seeded Soviets.

While U.S. tourists waved their flags after the last game, Coach Lou Vairo reported the 
team was crushed. "They're just sitting there crying."

Mark Kumpel, who scored the goal against the Czechs, said, "It means nothing, but it was 
the greatest goal of my life. We've been treated like heroes for six months. I still feel 
like a hero."

A blizzard that killed 40 people in Austria, Italy and Switzerland stopped skiing competition 
for two days.

U.S. alpine skiers Phil and Steve Mahre won gold and silver medals in their events.

Downhill skier Bill Johnson won a gold medal and Debbie Armstrong won the gold in women's 
downhill.

Three-time world champion Scott Hamilton won the gold medal in men's figure skating and 
Rosalynn Sumners won the silver medal in women's figure skating.

It was the adopted sister-brother team of Peter and Kitty Caruthers that lit the eyes of 
the U.S. crowds and TV audiences. They took the silver medal in pairs figure skating as 
their program ended with a spontanious sibling-shared hug.

The year saw many firsts for all in America, especially for black Americans who 
continued to make history. Closer to home an innovative educational program at the 
University was among the events receiving recognition.

Barney Clark

Barney Clark, the first plastic heart recipient, died 112 days after his December 
1, 1982 heart surgery.

The 62-year old dentist from Des Moines, Iowa died from a combination of illnesses. 
The heart itself was in good condition when he died.

Miss America

The 56th Miss America was also a first. Vanessa Williams, a 20 year old Syracuse 
University junior, is the first black woman to win the title. She was one of four 
black contestants in the pageant and won the swimsuit and talent portions.

Astronauts

There was nothing unique about the launching of the space shuttle Challenger in 
June. Nothing, that is, except for the fact that the shuttle carried the first 
American woman astronaut into space.

Sally K. Ride, a physicist spent six days in space.

In August, NASA launched another Challenger shuttle. This time, however, there were 
three more firsts: a nighttime launch, a nighttime landing and a black astronaut 
among the crew. Air Force Lt. Colonel Guion Bluford became the first of the four 
blacks in the astronaut program to enter space.

King holiday

Congress voted to add another paid federal holiday to the calendar starting in 1986. 
The third Monday in January will be set aside to honor the birth of Dr. Martin Luther 
King, Jr. and his work with the civil rights movement.

A lot of controversy surrounded the passage of the bill. Congressmen were concerned 
about allegations that King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference which he 
headed, had been affiliated with the Communist Party.

The FBA had investigated the charges in the 1960's, but no evidence was found to support 
the accusations.

Funding lacks for library

Plans for renovating and adding on to Pickler Memorial Library have come to a stand still 
after a bond issue, which would have given the University money for the project, was 
defeated.

The library project was second on the Missouri legislature's priority list for higher education 
money. It was dropped from the list, however, when the funds were given to the University of 
Missouri -- St. Louis for a science building.

Tom Shrout, director of external relations, went to Jefferson City to lobby for the funds. 
"The legislators had disagreement about the amount of money being spent in parts of the 
state. I think they were concerned that St. Louis wasn't getting a fair amount of it," 
Shrout said.

Doug Winicker, campus planner, said "We don't ask for things we don't need. (Losing the 
funds) has potential for weakening our prgrams...

George Hartje, director of libraries, said the addition was planned for the east side of 
the Pickler Memorial Library, and would have added 50,000 square feet of floor space. The 
plans were to remodel the old section, then add on to it, making a one-unit building. 
Hartje said all the reference books and periodicals would have been together on the first 
floor, and all the books on the second and third floors.

Hartje said, "The architects approached it like a whole new building. They said, "How can 
we make the best use of space now?"

Lack of space is the most immediate problem with the current library Winicker said study 
space is being sacrificed to put more book shelves in. "We have an immediate problem and 
we have found a temporary solution. (Sacrificing study space) is bound to have a negative 
effect in the long run," he said.

Freshman Vicki Klein said "If you really want to study, you have to go to the third 
floor;... I think they should get rid of some of the older books -- maybe put some of them 
on microfilm so people will have room to study.

Hartje said the library staff is trying to create space by putting seven shelves on book 
case sections that usually hold six shelves. "When we put the shelves closer together, We 
have to lay some of the larger volumes down. That can be pretty hard on the spines," he 
said.

"We're still working on that," Hartje said. "If we don't build, the automated library becomes 
more needed. If we had to store books to save space, we would have to go through the card 
catalog and mark the cards of all the books that were stored. That would be very time consuming and 
expensive." Winicker said, "We're getting by for now, but the problem will continue 
to exist. There is a general need in all areas all over the state and the money isn't 
being made available to any of them."

JFK

The 20th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy brought back memories of 
the tragic day in Dallas as well as reflections on the president's 1,000 day term.

The event sparked extensive media coverage throughout the country. In Newsweek, Americans 
from all walks of life related what they were doing when they heard the news that Kennedy 
was shot.

What Americans seem to remember about the man was the charismatic aura he gave the 
presidency, and even today, many wonder what it would've been like if he had lived.

AT&T split

Ma Bell's monopoly came to an end on New Year's Day as AT&T split up into eight separate 
companies. Through the break-up, AT&T relinquished control of 22 regional companies, 
which were reorganized into the eight companies which have use of AT&T's equipment.

While the break-up opened up the phone lines for competition, with MCI being the biggest 
so far, rates have increased and are predicted to soar 500 percent in the next 10 years.

Another change involves billing. Customers should receive up to 3 different phone bills -- 
long distance, local service and equipment.

AASCU award

The Value Added Model of Assessment was awarded the G. Theodore Mitau Award for 
Excellence and Innovation in Education by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.

President Charles McClain, other University administrators and the Board of Regents traveled 
to San Diego to accept the award at AASCU's annual meeting.

The University shares the award with Cleveland State University's Alternative Education 
Program. This was the first step in aiding the University to attain national acclaim for 
the value-added program.

Federal aid

A federal law was passed requiring all colleges and universities to set academic standards 
for students receiving financial aid.

The satisfactory academic progress law requires schools to set a minimum number of hours a 
full-time student must pass each semester, a minimum grade point average and a maximum 
number of semesters a student may receive financial aid.

The University is already meeting these requirements, with exception of the minimum GPA, 
which will be set by next fall.

OLD NEWS IS BAD NEWS FOR Pickler Memorial Library. Freshman Steve Ward faces stacks of 
past editions.

The state continues to ask us for requests, so we'll just continue to request the money. In the 
meantime, we'll keep cramming things in. We've had to wait for money before; I guess we can 
wait for this."

McClain nominated

President Charles McClain is among 100 candidates considered for the position of University of 
Missouri system president.

The four-step selection process will narrow the number of candidates, and a new president will 
be chosen by the Board of Curators around August 1.

The retiring president of four university campuses at Columbia, Kansas City, Rolla and St. Louis 
is James Olson.

McClain said encouragement from friends and his desire to make changes in Missouri education 
are what led him to accept the nomination.

"I feel there are certain educational issues that I would address, being in the arena, that 
possibly would not see the light of day coming from a state university," McClain said.

Regarding his chances, McClain said, "It's a long shot. There will be many fine, well-qualified 
people in the process."

PROMINENT PRESIDENT Charles McClain was nominated for president of the University of 
Missouri school system.

State money for program

The value-added concept has received a lot of attention from several audiences. One of the 
most significant outcomes of the concept's implementation has been the state's recognition of the 
University's goals for academic excellence. Gov. Christopher Bond requested an additional 
$519,569 for Northeast in his 1985 fiscal year budget proposal. In addition to the 3.8 
percent increase for all state institutions. Funding increases for higher education are rare 
since most are undergoing cuts.

Sig Tau initiation

Hazing and liquor codes were violated by the Alpha chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity at 
Southeast Missouri State University (Cape Giradeau) in February.

The charter for the chapter was revoked and members were forced to cover their Greek letters 
on their house. They were also forbidden to sponsor fraternity functions, or to rush and pledge.

Junior Chuck Scalise, president of the local Sigma Tau Gamma chapter, said the incident 
wouldn't affect the reputation of the NMSU (Beta) chapter. However, it did provide an opportunity for 
local fraternity members to show their brotherhood.

Five members from the Beta Chapter traveled to Moberly to initiate 11 students from the SEMO 
chapter because the Alpha chapter couldn't initiate its fall pledges.

Greg Rumpf, director of the Central Region of Sigma Tau Gamma said the Beta chapter should 
get positive recognition for its fellow fraternity members in a time of need.

the race for the white house

The 1984 presidential campaign is on its way with several candidates taking the 
lead.

The Iowa Caucus, on February 20, had Walter Mondale as the winner, getting 48 out 
of 50 delegates' votes.

Candy Young, assistant professor of political science, foresees a Reagan/Mondale 
race.

The other Democratic candidates don't really have a chance since Mondale's in the 
limelight. "Unless they're are any skeletons in the closet, Mondale will be the 
Democratic candidate," she said.

Some of the issues Young says will be of importance are economics, Lebanon, Soviet 
relations, the deficit and defense spending.

"Mondale will just be hoping something bad happens to make Reagan look bad," Young said.

The economy and the Lebanon situation are what Young thinks will hurt the Reagan campaign.

Reagan is taking a pragmatist point of view now instead of his 1980 conservative view, 
Young said.

"He'll cater to the conservatives but it will just be a lot of talk and no action," 
Young said.

"We'll also hear a lot oabout Carter/ Mondale from Reagan because he knows Carter is 
unpopular," Young said.

The candidates were visible to University students and faculty very early in the race. 
Ashcroft spoke at the spring 1983 commencement exercises, while Merrell attended the 
value added recognition banquet and answered questions at the Education Forum. McNary 
also visited campus and talked with students in residence hall cafeterias.

The primaries and caucuses in the spring proved that Mondale did not have the nomination 
"in the bag."The Iowa caucuses showed the emergence of U.S. Sen. Gary Hart from Colorado as 
a viable contender. Hart went on a winning spree by beating Mondale in the New England states' 
primaries, which caused restlessness within the seemingly confident and secure Mondale 
campaign organization. The Rev. Jesse Jackson also became a more visible candidate. 
Although he was considered the dark horse candidate and didn't stand a very good chance 
of winning the nomination, Jackson could take delegate votes away from Hart or Mondale.

Hart remained somewhat of a mystery to reporters and the public during his campaign. 
Often accused of imitating John F. Kennedy, Hart also had problems when it was 
discovered that there was a discrepancy about his age and his real last name. But 
the public didn't seem willing to just hand the nomintion over to Mondale and they 
received Hart well. Hart campaigned hard to gain support from the Democrats and 
stressed a "fresh" approach to govern problems.

Over the far extremes of the state, including our own Northeast stomping ground, some 
candidates were more visible in the early stages of the

governor's contest

The race for Missouri governor is an unusual one this year. Incumbent Governor Christopher 
Bond isn't among the five candidates running.

Candidates are Democrats Lieutenant Governor Kenneth Rothman, Senator Norman Merrell and 
State Treasurer Mel Carnahan.

Republican candidates are Jean McNary, St. Louis County Supervisor and State Attorney 
General John Ashcroft.

Jim Przybylski, associate professor of political sciences, said it's still early in the 
race for the candidates to be announcing their positions on issues since the primaries 
aren't until August.

"There's not much of a race yet, but the common knowledge is that the Republicans have 
the advantage in Missouri. The race will be fairly close between Ashcroft and McNary."

On the democratic side, Przybylski thinks Rothman has the advantage since he's from St. 
Louis. Merrell and Carnahan are from rural Missouri and will have to get the majority of 
the rural populations' vote to overcome Rothman's urban advantage.

LAST LECTURE for spring graduates was given by Missouri attorney general John Ashcroft, 
candidate for governor.

Recreation complex

The addition of five new softball fields built to fit national standards is only the 
first phase of a proposed $2.3 million outdoor park and recreational complex. The 
Kirksville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board presented the plans and the cost of the 
facility to the City Council, which unanimously voted to proceed with the project.

The 80-acre complex is to be located between U.S. 63 and Lincoln Road. The facility would 
be built in phases over a seven-year period. The amount of contruction each year would 
depend on the amount of state and federal funding the city receives.

Upon completion, the facility would include the softball fields, two adult and two junior 
soccer fields, four tennis courts, exercise stations, a bike and exercise trail, four 
basketball courts, five picnic shelters, a small lake, a concession-restroom building, 
three playgrounds, five gazebos, a shelter house patio, picnic tables, park benches, 
barbeque grills, bike racks and a fountain with a flower garden.

According to the National Parks and Recreation Association, a town Kirksville's size 
should have 11 softball fields and nine picnic shelters. The city currently fulfills 
only 22 percent of the needs of the community in outdoor recreational facilities. The 
city expects to raise that figure to 46 percent with the seven-year project.

The cost of the first phase of the project would be about $387,000. The city has applied 
for grants totalling $214,000. If the city receives both grants, construction of the first 
phase of the project will begin this fall. If only one grant is received then construction 
would not begin until next spring because the city would have to cover the additional cost. 
The city will be notified in July of the amount received.

Shooting

Students were startled to hear the sound of gunshots echoing across campus on January 25.

The shots were the result of an incident on Riggen Street behind Centennial Hall. Bill 
Hoffman, 33, armed with two guns, fired on his estranged wife and another man at the 
couple's home.

Becky Hoffman, 29, and Dan Regagnon, 30, had gone to the Hoffman house to pick up some 
clothing for her children.

Centennial Hall residents could hear as police tried to talk Hoffman out of the house. 
Hoffman was later found in the house after shooting himself in the head. He suffered a 
wound in the leg also. The couple was in the process of getting a divorce.

Hearing

Charges of police brutality against Kirksville policeman Lane Eitel were cleared by 
City Manager Bill Galletly and a review board of four members of the Kirksville Police 
Department January 26.

The charges were filed following an incident on December 2.

Frick's written complaint stated that Eitel had grabbed Bruce in a private area while 
conducting a pat-down search causing Bruce undue pain.

Polygraph tests taken by Bruce and Eitel confirmed they were both telling the truth.

The decision to clear Eitel of the charges came after a review of 254 pages of testimony. 
The review board found that Eitel "conducted himself according to recommended and/or 
acceptable patrol procedures."

Kennedy closing

Frozen steam pipes and broken water pipes forced the closing of the Kennedy Theatre following 
Christmas break.

Glenn Boner, owner and manager of the theater, said business was usually slow during cold 
weather and he wasn't concerned that his business would suffer greatly because of the 
closing. However, students felt the effect of the closing when they looked for reduced 
rate movies. The Kennedy was popular for showing late weekend movies at a discount rate.

"We had a lot of water damage. The old steam and water pipes must be replaced before we 
can open again," Boner said.

Standing water damaged the lobby, the auditorium and the apartments below the theater. 
Plaster needed replacing on some ceiling areas.

In the winter of 1982, similar problems occurred when the boiler malfunctioned. Boner said 
it was not properly repaired. He believed that the faulty repairs the previous winter 
contributed to this winter's pipe breakage. Reopening was scheduled for April.

United Way

The United Way fundraising drive surpassed its goal of $15,000 and ran at 114% for the 
on-campus activities.

The campus activities are just a subdivision of the Adair County United Way. The entire 
drive set a goal of $107,000.

The campus division was set up in two stages. The first part was staged September 6-23. 
This was the advanced drive, which raised 45% of the $15,000 goal.

During the advanced drive, volunteers solicited people who had donated $100 or more the 
previous year.

The second phase began Homecoming week and ran until October 21.

This phase was more of an all out effort to raise funds.

Students left donations in collecting cans at residence halls and in the library.

Volunteers also stood collecting funds at the football games.

Another big fundraiser was the candy sale in the Student Union Building. A campus employee 
donated candy to be sold with all proceeds going to the drive.

Delta Chi and Schwartz Brothers Distributing sponsored a benefit run. The run extended four 
miles with the winners receiving trophies. A registration fee was charged to raise the funds.

Several students participated in a food fast. Students who ate on campus could skip a meal 
and Professional Food Management would donate that money to the United Way.

Many of the other student organizations donated either their time or money to the fund. All 
of them made the campaign a success.

Longer zip

In an attempt to save money, the U.S. Postal Service introduced a nine digit zip code system.

The zip plus four is not intended to be used immediately. It is for businesses, banks, utility 
companies and other companies with large numbers of bills or letters. This includes the 
University.

The new system of four new numbers provides additional information that permits machines to 
sort letters automatically.

The University has been assigned the new addition of -- 0828 to Kirksville's zip code of 63501 for 
business use.

Non-Greeks in Brewer Hall

This fall, eight non-Greeks were placed in Brewer Hall -- a hall traditionally reserved 
for sorority members.

Many of the rooms in Brewer were not filled at the beginning of the semester and since 
there was a large freshman class, Residence Life took advantage of the space.

Although the situation was intended to be temporary, some non-Greeks chose to stay at 
Brewer, rather than moving to the other non-Greek halls.

Senior Renee Burton, who lived on the third floor with Delta Zetas, said, "I like living 
in Brewer just fine. I've gotten to know a lot of Greek girls. It's not like they won't 
even acknowledge we're here. You just have to be willing to get to know them."

Junior Dawn Bratcher, a member of Alpha Sigma Tau, said, "I'm not really hung up on who's 
Greek and who's not. I didn't move up here to segregate myself from people."

Bratcher said she, her roommate and their non-Greek suitemates do a lot of things together. 
"We've ordered out for pizza together and go to eat in the cafeteria when it works out. We 
take a lot of interest in each other's lives."

MIXED SISTERHOOD for Delta Zeta junior Sheila Miller and non-Greek senior Renee Burton 
develops in Brewer Hall.

Nason heat

Residents of Nason and Brewer experienced some inconvenience in the fall when their heat 
was not turned on as soon as the heat in other halls.

Ron Gaber, director of Residence Life, said contractors worked on the installation of the 
new heating system from "the day we closed Brewer Hall in May," Gaber said. New piping had 
to be run through all the rooms in Brewer and Nason halls.

Junior Katherine Cumings and sophomore Amy Owca said the lack of heat had not bothered 
them.

Senior Tami Johnson said the lack of heat was "sort of an inconvenience."

Gene Schneider, physical plant director, said the residents handled the situation well. 
Schneider said the physical plant office didn't receive complaints.

If the need for immediate heat had arisen, Residence Life would have considered using 
portable heaters.

The sunday sales laws - blue laws

The Pamida and Wal-Mart stores in Kirksville received a reprimand in the form of a warning 
for having opened for privileged customers on Sunday, Dec. 11.

The Sunday sales-law (the Blue Lay) prohibits the opening of stores in most counties in Missouri.

Pamida and Wal-Mart were in violation of the Sunday sales law when they opened for privileged 
customers on Sunday in December, Harry Farr, prosecuting attorney, said.

Gary Jones, manager of Pamida, said he thought there would be no violation of the law since the 
store was open only to customers with a special invitation. Paul Owens, manager of Wal-Mart, 
said he allowed his store's opening for the same reason.

Jones said, "I'm very much in favor of the Blue Law, personally. I think it should be kept in 
effect."

The first thing many people think of when they hear the term "Blue Law" is the banning of most 
liquor purchases on Sunday. Junior Aaron Crews said, "I think they're outdated. You drink beer 
on Sunday anyway. They might as well sell it."

The Blue Law issue was very controversial one in metropolitan areas, but it also spread to more 
rural areas, in such incidents as the Wal-Mart and Pamida store openings. Junior Lisa 
Countryman said, "I think they should be able to be open on Sunday to get business from college 
students who have classes during the week and to give them something to do on

BLUE LAW BLUES created problems for the Wal-Mart store. A violation occurred when it opened 
on
 
(Page 75)

Sunday."

According to the Dictionary of American History, Blue Laws have been in existence in 
America since colonial times. A minister's account of laws in Connecticut was printed 
on blue paper in London in 1781. This became the basis for the name "Blue Law."

"We opened to give our employees a chance to shop with their families," Gary Jones, 
manager of Pamida, said.

The Pamida store was not open to the general public that day but only to selected 
customers (relative to employees) who had received written invitations, Jones said.

This kind of procedure is done at all Pamidas nation wide, which, except for the two 
stores in Missouri, are located in states with no Sunday sales law, Jones said.

"We had a good turn out (of customers) that day," Jones said.

The response from customers at Wal-Mart was good that day also, Paul Owens, Wal-Mart 
manager, said. However, Owens declined any more comments about the incident.

A second Sunday opening for either store would result in a fine, managers said.

In 1979, the state legislature passed a bill giving each county the right to repeat the 
Sunday sales law.

The Kirksville Jaycees collected signatures on a petition in an attempt to get a proposition 
on the April ballot exempting Adair County from the law.

Although, the proposition failed, if it had passed it would have allowed the local merchants 
(who wanted to) to open on Sundays.

A total of 14 counties and the downtown area of St. Louis have repealed the Sunday sales law.

Statistics and polling

Enrollment figures

Spring enrollment figures remained approximately the same as last year's, indicating an 
increased retention rate. Figures showed a slight increase from 6,434 to 6,449 students.

Dave Rector, director of computer services, said that a 1 percent increase is expected for 
next fall, which would raise enrollment to approximately 7,060. Rector expected the figures 
for transfer students, freshmen and graduates to stay about the same, but expected the 
increase to show in the figures of returning sophomores, juniors and seniors. The higher 
retention rate was due to the University's attracting higher quality students, he said.

The University denied entrance to more students this year than ever before because of the 
applicant's failure to meet the University's tougher admission standards. The University 
also had the highest enrollment of international students of all Missouri Universities. 
Quality education and affordability bring more international students here than to any 
other institution in Missouri, Fran McKinney, international student adviser, said. 
International students are required by U.S. law to pass certain tests before enrolling 
in U. S. universities.

Registration fee

A new pre-registration policy requires students to make a $ 15 down-payment before 
registering instead of the $60 they paid in the past.

The rest of the first installment will be due during the first week of classes next fall.

This fee insures students that their classes will be held for them. If students decide 
not to return, they can receive a refund.

Students (on campus and off) were asked to pay by mail to avoid having to stand in line. 
This new policy was implemented in an attempt to put an end to long lines and short tempers.

The pre-registration policy gives the University a better indication of the students who 
have decided not to attend in the fail.

This policy is similar to the pre-payment policy that Residence Life uses to indicate how 
many students are planning on returning to the halls in the fall.

The new system was explained to students in letters sent directly to them at their local 
addresses.

Freshman Steve Whiteson said, "At least now you can wait till you're in class before paying 
(the rest of the first installment). Lee Myers, registrar, said, "It is a change, an attempt 
to make things better for everyone concerned."

CPA examination

University students received the highest rate of success nationally among students taking 
the Certified Public Accountant examination.

About 85 percent of the University who took the CPA exam in November, 1982, passed, which 
gave the University the highest composite average in the nation.

The high percentage of passing students was due not only to students and faculty, but also to 
a CPA review class offered on campus. The totals in the analysis included the results from 
candidates in 36 states. Included in the analysis were 12 participants from the University.

Walkway construction continued year-round

Construction on campus continued year-round and resulted in editorial cartoons and 
inconvenience to students and faculty.

The sidewalk between McKinney Center and Kirk Building was torn up in the fall and 
was not completed until March. Mud lined the sidewalks in front of Missouri and 
Brewer Halls as trucks roared through with construction materials. A cartoon in the 
Index by junior Dewayne Whiteside quipped "Seven men die during sidewalk construction 
at NMSU ... of old age."

Student Ambassadors also complained that the sidewalk construction didn't help present 
a very orderly picture of the campus to visitors and it caused the Ambassadors to take 
detours while showing the campus.

Melody Mann, junior Student Ambassador felt the upheavel of sidewalks did affect the tour 
she gave for visiting students. "The problem was that it was really inconvenient to walk 
around. I saw no purpose in why they tore it up again."

"I always had to explain why there was construction and it always made the tour longer," 
Mann said.

Segments of sidewalk were replaced around the Quad and in front of Baldwin Hall in the 
fall. However, this construction didn't take as long and didn't concern a major 
thoroughfare like the sidewalk between Kirk and the McKinney center which served as a 
link between the residence halls and many of the academic buildings most travelled upon.

ROADBLOCK of sidewalk construction reroutes campus traffic as 8onny Johnson and Bob 
Zimmerman work on the project.

Hosts of international students

The International Club sponsored the host family program again this year. Last year, 
Student Senate played a major role in the project. Rashid Malik, president of 
International Club, said he initiated the project while serving as Student Senate 
secretary in 1982. This year he said he felt Senate was passive about minority students.

The host family program involves finding places for the international students to stay 
over the holiday and breaks when the residence halls are closed.

Malik said the purpose of the project is to promote international peace because "when 
we (international students) go back home, we can act as unofficial ambassadors for the 
U.S. and convey the goodwill of the American people."

Malik said knowledge from books about American people and their culture is not enough. 
"We need to learn from interaction," Malik said.

Barnett Hall

The agriculture addition completed last spring on Barnett Hall received recognition for 
its unique architectural design. The American Institute of Architectural presented an 
award of merit for Distinguished Architectural Design to the St. Louis firm of Ittner 
and Bowersox, Inc. designers of the building.

NIGHT VIEW of Barnett Hall shows the award-winning architectural design of the newly 
completed addition.

Third floor fall

A student fell from a third floor window in the Blanton/ Nason breezeway in December. 
Freshman Annette Budde had been sitting on the window ledge when the glass broke as few 
witnesses looked on and promply called for an ambulance.

Her injuries included a broken left knee cap, concussion, contusions to the brain, a 
dislocated toe and gashes to the forehead and right knee. She was taken to Kirksville 
Osteopathic Hospital where she underwent surgery for the broken knee.

Budde returned to school later in the semester.

Calculators

Two University students accused of stealing two calculators from the Bank of Kirksville 
on November 4, were put on two years unsupervised probation.

Senior David Granneman and junior Darren Courville gained entrance to the bank through a 
door that had been locked but not properly shut.

But the students pleaded guilty without a trial and were given suspended impositions of 
sentence. If each man completes his probationary period without problems, he will have 
no record.

Lawsuit

Jeff Fishel was awarded $8600 after an Illinois jury found that the University did not 
fulfill the terms of an oral contract to give fishel a full-ride scholarship for the 
1982 football season.

In 1982, Fishel received a statement of athletic aid saying that he would only receive 
$960 for out-of-state tuition. The University decided not to seek a retrial because of 
the expense involved, the possibilities of losing the case once it got to court and a 
slow chance for a retrial to be awarded.

Power outage 

When an underground cable supplying electrical power to Laughlin Hall went out on the night 
of February 13, it rendered the building useless for all practical purposes. Classes and 
campus media were relocated in different buildings for two days. Replacement wiring had to 
be obtained from out of town because the circuitry was so old that nothing could be found 
locally. Power was restored shortly after 10 p.m. on February 15.

Statistics and polling

Retention task force

The Task Force on Student Persistence was organized to investigate why students choose not 
to continue their education at NMSU.

The task force, started last November, narrowed the problem down to three components.

The first was assistance with class schedules. Some students had trouble getting all the 
information they needed to make out schedules. Because of changing requirements, advisers 
often did not have up-to-date information. It is thought that more instruction on advising 
should be given to new faculty members.

The second component was that students wanted better places to go where they were between 
majors. One suggestion was that students changing majors could use freshman counseling as 
a way-station or the Career Planning and Placement Center.

More personal counseling was the final component. This involves helping people with 
temporary coping problems. It was suggested that a personal counseling service be 
made available to students who may need someone to talk to other than friends.

Terry Smith, dean of students, said that keeping students at the University lies not so much 
in the program development for the students here, but with enrolling students who are more 
likely to finish out their educations.

Smith said that although the three areas mentioned would help students, they would not 
necessarily contribute to the University's primary goal, which is "student learning."

Residence halls

A new policy was implemented concerning third-year resident assistants.

Any R.A. returning for his third year had to have a 3.0 G.P.A. and move to another hall. 
They are asked to work some hours in the Residence Life Office and are encouraged to take 
care of some of the discipline problems pertaining to the halls on their own.

Grim Hall led the residence halls in the highest G.P.A. of 3.11 last fall, while G.P.A.'s 
for most of the rest of the residence halls fell.

The G.P.A. of quiet wings/halls were higher than the other wing/halls.

The residence halls accomodated 47% more students than they had room for this year.

One speculated reason is that fewer students had moved off campus, transferred or went home.

In previous years, students had been temporarily housed in hotels, motels and hall lounges. 
This year every effort was made to prevent this situation from occurring, including moving 
non-Greeks into Brewer Hall.

Females were found to have higher G.P.A than the males and there was a gradual increase from 
the freshman to senior level.

The first Residence Hall achievement awards were presented in the spring. The $500 award is 
given to the students who have contributed a lot of their time and talents to the Residence 
Hall Life. The recipients were junior Sharon Weiner and Dave Haden. Weiner was on 
Blanton/Nason's Hall Council and was a member of the National Communications Council for 
the Residence Hall Association.

Haden was vice president of Dobson Hall Council, on various hall committees and was Dobson 
Hall's Chairman for Tel-Alumni.

Cablecom introduced Music television to Kirksville and watching videos became the 
popular past time. Entertainers could be visual in an audible business.

Music TV

"I want my MTV!", the advertising slogan for Music Television, echoed through the country 
in 1983. MTV came to Kirksville's cable system in September. MTV launched new groups like 
Eurhythmies, Stray Cats and Men At Work, and firmly established artists like David Bowie 
and Billy Joel as video stars. Some videos, like Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield," 
made social statements. Others, like Michael Jackson's "Thriller" were nominated for 
awards. In 1983, MTV came to the forefront as a mover in the music industry.

The residence halls did not offer MTV in the lounge.

Boy George

Androgyny was a successful attention-getter for at least two up and coming rock stars: 
Culture Club's Boy George and Annie Lennox of Eurhythmies. Lennox sported a blazing 
orange crewcut, and Boy George wore corn-row braids reminiscent of Bo Derek in "10." 
Lennox, who is quite beautiful in a wig, cut her hair and began wearing men's clothing 
to gain attention. Boy George, on the other hand, has been wearing makeup and women's 
clothes since he was a teenager. Whatever the reasons may be, Culture Club and Eurhythmies 
were two of this year's most popular groups.

Thriller

Michael Jackson was really hot this year. His album "Thriller" was the hottest of the year, 
being the largest selling album of all time, with over 23 million copies sold. There were a 
record seven singles released from the LP. Jackson received 12 Grammy nominations, including 
one in the short film category for his "Thriller" video. And, during the filming of a Pepsi 
commercial, a spark from a special effect lit in Jackson's hair. He was hospitalized overnight 
for second and third degree burns. Since , Jackson has underwent cosmetic plastic surgery for 
scars on the back of his head.

Eddie Rabbitt

The Fourth of July celebration at Rainbow Basin fizzled a bit, although the performances of 
Eddie Rabbitt, Charly McClain and the Ozark Mountain Daredevils didn't. The size of the crowd 
fizzled, too, with only a few of the expected 10,000 attending. The weather sizzled into a hot 
humid day. Problems seemed never-ending. The costs of production was substantially 
overbudget. The previous night's rain made driving treacherous for the heavy equipmentladen 
trucks, and set-up was slow. Eddie Rabbitt was several hours late and the crowd got hot, 
sunburned and tired of waiting. Rain fell periodically, and the spirit of the whole day was 
dampened by misfortune.

Ed McCollum, senior, said "I thought the concert itself was great but the organization behind 
it wasn't very well put together. They (the sponsors) didn't seem to know how to set up from 
one group to the next."

St. Louis alumni banquet

More than 150 guests attended the alumni banquet held at the Airport Marriott in St. Louis 
County on February 22. Invitations were sent to all known alumni living in the St. Louis 
area.

The University was pleased with the response the banquet got. "It was tremendous, the crowd 
was great and people were excited about it," David Clithero, staff assistant for alumni 
development, said.

The reception was held to show the concern the University has for former students. "We want 
to show them that we are interested in them and show them what is happening at Northeast. 
Not everyone can come back for Homecoming, so we try to bring a little of the school to them," 
Clithero said.

University president Charles McClain headed the speaking while the Franklin Street Players 
provided the entertainment.

Kim Gidley, sophomore Franklin Street Player said, "They (the alumni) all seemed to be having 
a good time. There was a lot of younger alumni I was surprised to see. I also saw some 
ex-Franklin Street Players."

"We also sang Rich McKinney's (Franklin Street director) version of the National Anthem for 
the NMSU-Universiity of Missouri-St. Louis," Gidley said.

One serious topic discussed was that of value added. "Our main objective was to showcase the 
value-added program. We showed them the movie on value-added and discussed it with them," 
Clithero said.

The idea of a reception was tried a few years back, but the response was not great. This 
was the first time that entertainment was provided.

The University is planning on having more such receptions in the future.

"We are trying to go to areas where a lot of alumni are located. We try to plan around other 
events,' said Clithero.

This reception was planned before the Bulldog basketball game against the University of 
Missouri-St. Louis 

Clithero feels that the receptions can help the University in recruiting. "Our alumni help 
us greatly in recruiting and by showing our interest, they will be willing to help us more. 
It sure can not hurt us in any way." The University is currently working on future holiday 
alumni receptions in Kansas City and Des Moines.

"We want to show them that we are interested in them and show them what is happening at 
Northeast."

'Day After'

Albert Einstein said, "I don't know how we're going to fight World War III, but I know 
how we'll fight World War IV -- with sticks and stones."

Some 30-50 million Americans probably agreed with Einstein, after watching "The Day After," 
ABC's portrayal of a nuclear devastation of Kansas City and the surrounding area.

The movie was viewed at the campus Newman Center as well as at the Wesley House. 
Residence hall TV lounges were also packed full.

The two hour and 15 minute movie, which put viewers in the middle of a community before, 
during and after a nuclear attack, stirred heated discussions

"My first thought was, 'What can I do to keep that from happening?' " sophomore Deane 
Johnson said.

Father Les Neimeyer, director of Newman Center, said, "It is important for us to be aware of 
this issue in our lives rather than allow it to numb our psyche."

"The Day After," by confronting people with the perils of nuclear war, perhaps allowed them 
to come to terms with their own fears.

"Frankly, the movie made me think," said sophomore Pat Tyree, "and by doing that, it scared 
me."

A PROPHETIC PORTRAYAL of the aftermath of a nuclear bomb blast is reminiscent of the 
controversial "The Day After."

A presidential candidate was portrayed as a hero, computers were checked against hackers, 
death drew old college buddies together and dance movies became the craze. And once again 
students proved when the parents are away the kids will play.

"War Games"

Summer sensation "War Games" was about the ultimate computer game -- thermonuclear war. 
A teenage computer whiz accidentally plugged his home computer into the national defense 
computer system, innocently began playing the game and unwittingly launched real Soviet 
missiles. The boy is arrested and only he realized that the computer continued the game 
automatically. He finally stumped the computer and stops the game on the brink of disaster.

"The Big Chill"

What would happen if the old gang got together for a weekend fifteen years from now? "The 
Big Chill" explored the possibilities of one such reunion when one group member died and the 
remainder gathered for his funeral. The group compared plans they had made with the people they had 
become. The sound track was smoothly woven into the movie, and helped the action move along swiftly. 
The movie's actions were relevant to college students, and made one wonder "What if...?"

"The Right Stuff"

The movie "The Right Stuff" couldn't have come at a more opportune time for presidential 
candidate John Glenn. It sold heroes, real life American heroes, in the form of Glenn and 
the six other astronauts in the Mercury program. The picture began when Chuck Yeager broke 
the sound barrier and followed the astronauts into outer space. The timing of the movie may 
be a powerful campaign instrument if indeed, Glenn had the "right stuff" to be president.

"Flashdance"

Working by day in a steel mill, then fulfilling fantasies at night by dancing her heart out 
brought Jennifer Beals fame for her role in the smash hit movie "Flashdance." Actually, 
dancer Marine Jahan did all the fancy moves, but Beals made ripped sweatshirt clothing 
famous. The movie produced hit songs like the title track by Irene Cara "Flashdance (What 
A Feeling) and the song which accompanied the frenzied dance, "Maniac," by Michael Sembello. 
It also brought body-bending breakdancing into the spotlight in one of the hottest movies 
of the year.

"Risky Business"

The plot of "Risky Business" could have been any teenage boy's fantasy. With his parents out 
of town, the Porsche in the garage, and beer in the refrigerator, Joel (Tom Cruise) is free 
to indulge his wildest dreams. And he does. He meets a high-class prostitute and ends up as 
a pimp, running the business from his home. A madcap rush to clean up entails before his 
parents return, and he's left with only memories of his risky escapade.

Cotton Patch Gospel

COUNTRY CLAN members gather in a scene in "Cotton Patch Gospel", which put the life of 
Christ into a modern setting.

The Student Activities Board presented its third annual dinner production in the Georgian 
Room on January 18 and 19. "Cotton Patch Gospel," a rendering of the life of Jesus Christ, 
asked the question, "What if Christ had been born in Gainesville, Georgia, in contemporary 
times?"

The plot included such modern adaptations as Christ and his family traveling to a Bible 
convention in Atlanta and Christ recruiting disciples from men in contemporary occupations 
like a lawyer, an Internal Revenue Service tax collector and a doctor.

The members of Franklin Street, a 30-member singing and acting group, performed the numerous 
roles for the show, often having to learn the parts of different characters. Since they all 
wore similar costumes of blue jeans and western shirts, the audience had to keep up with the 
story to distinguish between the different characters. The small scale stage also required 
imagination and versatility to represent the scenes of the story.

Sophomore Kim Gidley said, "I thought the thought (putting Jesus in Southern Georgia) 
behind it was neat. It made you think how it would be if Jesus came here."

Pianist

Dmitry Feofanov, a Russian born pianist and NMSU graduate, presented a concert in Baldwin 
Hall Auditorium in January 24. Feofanov's performance featured selections like "prelude 
and Fugue in B-flat Minor" by J. S. Bach and "Forest Murmurs, Concert Etude" by Franz 
Liszt. Feofanov earned a master's degree in music from the University. He now teaches at 
the University of Kentucky and has plans to do a doctoral performance at the University 
of Texas. Feofanov immigrated from Russia in 1978.

Symphony

Lyceum Series presented the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in concert on October 20. The 
symphony has performed here ever year since the 1961-62 academic year. The 101-member 
orchestra was conducted by Catherine Comet, Exxon/Arts Endowment Conductor. The orchestra 
performed three selections: "Violin Concerto No. 2" by Wieniawski, "Overture to 'La Forza del Destino'"
by Verdi and Prefofiev's "Symphony No. 5." The symphony performs about 240 concerts annually.

Extreme seasonal changes let students experience the effects of old man weather

The Kirksville weather can always be depended upon for extremes and surprises.

As students, faculty and administration made their way through the 10 weeks of summer 
session, the temperatures hovered around the 90- and 100-degree mark. Defense against the 
oppressive heat became a game of comfort survial. Several changes of clothes, a shortage 
of fans and pre-planned travel routes to hit as many air conditioned buildings as possible 
were all practiced strategies. The swelter continued through the start of fall semester 
in August and into October.

By November, the mercury found the lower regions of the thermometer, and the temperatures 
told the campus that winter was not far away. Kirksville received about 19 inches of snow, 
but the most memorable winter statistics were the record-low temperatures and wind chill 
factors. In mid-December, there was a two week period of sub-zero morning lows, and the 
week before Christmas, record lows were set for five nights in a row. Estimated wind 
chills came in at -75.

Kirksville experienced some relief in February as temperatures climbed to heights high 
in the 60s. The unusually warm weather was a long-needed reminder that spring was not 
far away, but winter weather appeared once again with ice storms in March.

Former aerospace engineer holds audience spellbound with the Secret experiences of a spy
by LISA FITZGERALD

A predominately male audience scattered into Baldwin Hall Auditorium in groups of twos and 
threes with an occasional loner thrown in for emphasis. They sat there talking quietly, 
but many kept looking over their shoulders as if they could feel the icy fingers of 
someone watching them. The imaginings, though unfounded, may have been caused by the 
reason the students were there; they had come to see Peter James, former Central 
Intelligence Agency agent, present a lecture called "Russia's Secret Doomsday Weapons: 
World War III and You!"

When James walked into the room the expectations of a cloak and dagger, James Bond figure 
were immediately dashed. Instead of a black tuxedo, complete with bulging gun holster under 
the left arm, James wore a conservative blue suit and dark tie. It was something one would 
expect a local banker to wear.

And instead of a whispering voice meant to convey secrets to co-agents, James' voice was 
slightly nasal, as if he had a cold. He seemed much too real to be a spy.

Only his face could give him some claim to looking like a Hollywood-created spy. James had 
a dark drooping mustache which, if one used one's imagination, could have made him look 
slightly sinister.

Whether or not he looked like a spy, James' topics were serious, thought-provoking ones for 
many students.

He covered aspects of American foreign policy and the nuclear arms race in explicit detail 
drawing on his years with the CIA as a source of information. Some of his proposals were 
controversial and opened new avenues of thought.

James said his career with the CIA began almost as an accident while he was working as an 
aerospace engineer for Pratt Whitney Aircraft in Florida in 1965. James had attended a 
conference in Greece as part of his regular job. While there, he met several Soviet 
scientists who later turned out to be important men in the Soviet government. The CIA 
approached James after he returned to the United States and asked him to turn his talents 
to their benefit. The basic plan was for James to continue his regular job and with it as 
a cover, continue meeting scientists and diplomats from foreign countries to "pick their 
brains" for new technological developments, particularly in the area of the space program 
and nuclear weaponry.

"There was no way I was going to say no when the CIA came to me," James said. "I jumped 
right in."

And for many years James helped the CIA, doing all the things they asked him to do, namely 
talking to all the right people. He said that since he was still legally an employee of the 
firm in Florida and did not receive payment from the CIA, he never had to sign what is called 
a "secret oath." If he had done so, he would have been unable to lecture about his work. Nor 
would he have been able to author Soviet Conquest from Space and The Air Force Mafia, the 
two books that created so much controversy for him later in his career.

Eventually, because of harrassment by Air Force men, James was dismissed from both his job 
at the Florida firm and his job with the CIA.

But James said he saw no reason to stop gathering data just because he no longer gave it to 
the CIA.

"If I go overseas, to Cuba or Guatemala ...and I find out something I think you ought to 
know, I'm going to tell you," he said. The only difference is that now he reports directly 
to the public through his books, magazine and newspaper articles and lectures.

James said there are some areas of his former job he cannot talk about, especially in the 
area of technological developments. "There are legitimate secrets that must be kept," he 
said. But he said almost anything political is "fair game."

One of the issues James saw as "fair game" was the nuclear arms race between the Soviet 
Union and the United States. "If you (the public) don't get involved there's a good chance 
you won't be able to fulfill your personal career ambitions," he said.

James suggested several steps that could be taken to prevent a nuclear holocaust. He said 
the United States should refuse to deal with the Soviet Union on any level -- military, 
social, or economic -- to let them know how serious the United States is about the nuclear 
situation. He said he thinks the Soviet Union would follow the U.S. plans then because 
they would realize it is the most logical and humane path to follow.

James said with his lectures he is closing the information gap between what the government 
is actually doing and what the public is aware of. "There is usually up to a 10-year gap 
between what is going on behind closed doors and what you, as the American public, are 
actually allowed to know," he said.

Freshman Jeff Preisack said, "I was surprised at the frankness of Peter James and very 
pleased with his performance."

Junior Stan Dinges said, "I went to the show looking for flaws in it but I couldn't find any."

James was not sworn to secrecy because he was not paid by the CIA.

McBail, waterbed races and other fund raisers for the YMCA become Exercises in cooperation 
by MIKE ODNEAL

If the letters YMCA were mentioned to the average everyday Kirksville resident or student, 
almost undoubtedly the immediate response would be "new building." The thought of a new 
Adair County YMCA facility has filled the minds and imaginations of many different people 
who hope to see this dream come true. This hopeful group included members of the University, 
and several students and organizations joined in the fundraising activities needed to make 
the new YMCA a reality.

Three Greek organizations participated in "McBail," the fundraising event that held well-
known local citizens "in custody" at McDonalds until sufficient funds were raised by others 
for their release. All money raised went to the YMCA.

Sophomore Jeff Mehlenbacher, corresponding secretary of Sigma Tau Gamma, said that for his 
fraternity the involvement started for somewhat personal reasons.

"My father is a member of the YMCA board, and he got a subpoena to go to McBail that 
weekend, and we wanted to know if there was any way we (Sig Tau) could help, so I approached 
the fraternity about it, and they thought it was a good idea," Mehlenbacher said.

Sig Tau then decided to join together with Sigma Sigma Sigma in order to "raise bail." 
"We went out together and kind of paired up boy-girl, boy-girl and went around to 
different houses around town. We were only out about an hour, but we collected over 
a hundred dollars." Mehlenbacher said.

"It was a good chance to help the YMCA," junior Ann Bernard, president of Sigma Sigma 
Sigma said. Together, Tri Sig and Sig Tau raised a total of $114.

Alpha Sigma Alpha faced the task of "freeing" the friend of one member and the mother 
of another. Deciding to get together and help out, the sorority raised $105 to benefit 
the Y and to "set free" their loved ones. The final amount raised by "McBail" was $4,100.

In addition to "McBail," the University community was involved in other fundraising 
activities benefiting the Y, such as a benefit performance of the play "A Flea in Her 
Ear" and a payroll deduction plan for faculty and staff members. The Division of Home 
Economics, with KRXL, planned a fashion show for March 18. Joyce Hearn, professor of 
home economics, said clothing and textile retailing majors were the primary coordinators 
of the event, which included students as models and the merchandise of seventeen 
Kirksville stores, and 180 people volumteered their time. The event earned $1,002 
for the YMCA fund.

In the midst of all the fundraising, there was time for fun in the process. In waterbed 
races at Rainbow Basin, which raised a total of $500, a six-person team from Student 
Senate spent a chilly Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. having a good time to help the 
Y. "The main reason I did it was to have fun," junior Mandy McCarty said. "We were there 
the whole day, but it was worth it because it was for a good cause." Senior Shelli Gray 
had similar feelings about the event. "The community and community businesses have 
donated to the University, so I felt that I could donate some of my time back into the 
community," Gray said. "The Y is part of the community and the University is part of the 
community, so what's good for the community is good for the students."

Obviously, once the new YMCA facility is built, the student population of Kirksville will 
be able to enjoy its benefits. Judging from all the enthusiasm and money being poured into 
making the YMCA fund drive a success, many people are anxiously awaiting the realization of 
the YMCA dream. "We'd like to begin construction in the middle of summer," Barb Mayhew, 
YMCA executive director, said.

ON THE 'Y' to recovery, the temporary YMCA is a bridge between the old building which burned 
down, and the new one, on which construction was planned to begin in the summer.

The Added Factor

We look at the college experience as many things--social opportunity and personal 
development, for example. But as our professors and parents tell us, and as we know, 
our reason for being here is to learn. We are here to prepare for the future--to become
 proficient in skills with which we plan to construct our lives.

Establishing high standards pushes us to put in our best efforts and keeps the 
University's academic policy THE ONE TO WATCH.

Those who thought college would be only a more expensive version of high school 
were in for more than a small surprise. Value added, a concept devised by President 
Charles McClain to measure student growth from the time of arrival until departure 
with diploma in hand, became a term that was applauded for its contribution to 
education and damned by some for restricting the number of higher grades. Because 
of the data obtained from testing in all areas, administration targeted weak areas 
and promoted the strong ones.

Although the meaning of value added was hard to set down in a concrete definition, 
students and faculty felt its reverberations. Sophomore and senior tests to measure 
progress in both general education and the major field became mandatory. Admissions 
standards tightened, requiring Higher test scores and class placements of incoming 
freshmen. Computer blocks were installed in residence halls. Students and faculty 
worked together to review programs in consideration of impending reaccredation by 
the North Central Association of the Commission on Institutes of Higher Learning.

Appreciated or not, value added became as much a part of our education as new books. 
Perhaps only when we realized we would someday be leaving the University did we see 
the impact it had on us as we plugged through our daily assignments.

The concept of value added has taken shape and has caught the eyes of not only students, 
faculty and the community, but education evaluators. The program is a culmination of years' 
work and comes as a Timely assessment 
BY MICHELLE YOST

Value added. Students have become increasingly aware of this revolutionary program at 
Northeast. They may already know that value added is a university's efforts to provide 
a statistically significant positive change in a student's knowledge, attitudes, values 
and thinking skills as revealed in two measurements. The first contrasts the student's 
change from the first year to that of the senior year. The second contrasts the student 
in relation to students throughout the country. What students may not know is what some 
of the outcomes of the program have been.

In November 1983, the University was awarded the G. Theodore Mitau Award for Excellence 
and innovation in Education by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. 
This award is the highest honor granted by AASCU. University President Charles McClain 
received the award on the University's behalf, at AASCU's annual meeting in San Diego.

Northeast shares the honor with Cleveland State University's Alternative Education Program, 
but two winners does not make the award less prestigious.

Allan Ostar, president of the AASCU Board of Directors, said, "Although the programs are 
very different, the subcommittee feels that both are truly outstanding and merit this honor. 
It also seems very appropriate to honor two programs that demonstrate innovative approaches 
of two ongoing concerns of all AASCU institutions; quality education and public service."

What does winning the Mitau Award mean for Northeast? McClain said the recognition means a 
lot to not only students attending the University now, but to Northeasts's alumni and future 
students.

When Gov. Christopher Bond released his budget proposal for the 1985 fiscal year, he 
recommended each institution in the state for a 3.8 percent increase over each of this 
year's appropriation, with the exception of Northeast. Bond requested an additional 
$519,569 added to the University for its Value Added Model of Assessment in addition 
to the statewide increase. At a time when state funding for higher education is being 
drastically cut back, the Governor's recommendation encourages the University.

Value added was also recognized in a feature in the Feb. 15 edition of the St. Louis 
Globe-Democrat. McClain said such exposure is healthy for the program and hopes such 
recognition will hold the University to maintaining the program and its standards of 
excellence.

"I hope it will seal the University's commitment to it (value added), McClain said. 
"With the present economy, it would be tempting to lower standards to concentrate on 
numbers."

Gov. Bond's proposal reinforces McClain's idea that additional funding enables the 
University to concentrate on quality rather than only the quantity of students.

For alumni, the national recognition of the value added program may mean better jobs 
in the highly-competitive market-place.

"Some companies admit that they rank universities and pay beginning employees on the 
basis of that rank. Once we have documented proof of the quality of our graduates on 
a national level, we can sit down with any employer and have valid proof that shows 
why we should be ranked higher," McClain said. "This concept is very valuable to our 
prospective graduates and those graduates upwardly mobile in their careers."

The University also has proof of the quality of graduates it produces. Accounting 
students had the highest passing percentage nationwide for undergraduate students 
on all four parts of the Uniform Certified Public Accountant examination in November 
1982. Northeast also had the highest

composite average on all four parts.

For prospective students the value added program ensures an academic degree of integrity. 
With raised admission standards and higher expectations for students enrolled at Northeast, 
prospective students can earn a degree of pride by attending the University.

But what about current students? A survey conducted by the public opinion class during the 
1983 fall semester, revealed that 44 percent of the students surveyed had no knowledge about 
the value-added program. Of the students who had thorough, some or very little knowledge 
about the program, only 18 percent said the value-added approach had increased their knowledge and 
made classes more beneficial. Thirty-seven percent said the program merely made getting good 
grades more difficult.

"I think that surely teachers have become aware of value-added ... and I don't think they're 
just making the classes harder, I think they're smarter than that -- but they are trying to 
add value," junior. Angela Harpe said.

The survey also revealed that the majority of students surveyed had noticed areas in which 
the administration has achieved higher standards. Students were aware of the raised criteria 
to earn good grades, limiting the number of good grades given and more homework in classes. 
Only six percent thought no effect had been shown.

"My first year (in college), I didn't study and got by, but now my homework has tripled. I 
spend five hours a night studying for my classes," junior Scott Ewing said. "Teachers in my 
classes now put more emphasis on notes and reading ... so you get more information."

Junior Susan Plassmeyer said she noticed less "busywork" in classes but was not sure whether 
that trend should be attributed to value-added or the progression from 100- and 200-level 
courses to upper-level courses. Plassmeyer did, however, notice the impact of value added 
in student activities. "Students in campus organizations are more conscious of academic 
programs," Plassmeyer said. "More people are starting to say 'no' -- I'm saying 'no'."

Junior Kelly Palmer said he has noticed that the amount of classwork had definitely increased 
since he began college. "During the past three semesters, I have seen people study more than 
in the first year-and-a-half I was here," he said.

Although students are aware of the increased workload, some people still do the minimum 
amount of work for the maximum grade and end up cheating themselves. "The more work you do the 
more you'll get out of it," he said.

As a result of the greater need to study, Palmer said he had cut down on what few leisure 
activities he busied himself with, because he said if he didn't, "my schoolwork would suffer."

Kay Clapp, director of Center 303, which helps students with study problems and other related 
academic skills, said, "Students are finding it much more difficult to go to college than high 
school."

The outcomes of the value-added program point out the improvement of academics. The 
program is being used this year in the University's accreditation process. Every 10 years, 
application must be made to the North Central Association to become reaccredited. To
 
(Page 89)

be accredited, an institution must meet four criteria: possess a clear and publicly-stated 
purpose which is consistent with its proclaimed mission and appropriate for an institution 
of higher education; organized adequate human, financial and physical resources into 
educational and other programs to accomplish its purpose; accomplish its purpose; and 
continue to accomplish its purpose.

In its application for reaccreditation, the University is conducting a self-study based on 
the value-added program. The outlined study consists of six major points, using value added 
as a means to prove the University meets the criteria of the North Central Association.

In the first part of the study, value added in education will be discussed, explaining the 
purpose, background and functional components of the program.

The second discussion centers around the correlation between the value added program and 
the mission of the University, and the third, the function of the program in the organization 
of educational resources.

Hearing the consequences 
by MICHELLE YOST

Student Senate made an effort to clarify the value-added concept to students by hosting 
value-added hearings throughout January and February.

"The Senate, through student input, thought the hearings were the best way to go about it 
(clarifying value-added)," Chuck Woods, co-chairman of the Senate's value added hearing 
committee, said. "We did research on value added but couldn't make recommendations about 
the program to students and administration until we delved into it."

The committee randomly asked faculty members to participate at particular hearings, 
attempting to represent the six major academic divisions and the administration. Senate 
committee members composed numerous questions to ask the faculty panel during the hearings.

The student panel, composed of eight members, had senate representatives as well as members 
of organizations and students in particular majors.

"We went into The whole thing blind," Woods said. It started with a subcommittee in Senate, 
and we determined this arrangement was the best way to approach it."

"We're trying to help ourselves get a better education," said Sharon Weiner, co-chairman of the 
committee.

During the first hearing, Jack Magruder, professor of science, and Robert Dager, head of the 
Division of Business, both said the negative attitudes toward value added by students was the 
result of ignorance about the program. "They don't understand it's learning," Dager said.

Administrators spoke and answered questions at the second hearing, responding to questions 
on what value added did for the University. Dale Schatz, vice president, said value added provides 
a way to allow graduates the ability to compete on the national level, adding that marketing a 
particular image is not enough. "Good public relations are more than just saying we're good. We 
need a way to prove it," Schatz said.

Thomas Shrout, director of external affairs, said the University's image, through the value-added 
program, provided statistical evidence to back up that image.

Terry Smith, dean of students, told the student panel members that value-added measures 
should not be blamed for less participation in extra extracurricular activities. He said 
students should structure their free time.

In another hearing, Gordon Richardson, professor of education, discussed the raising of 
requirements in the teacher education program. Students interested in the teaching program 
must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75. Richardson said the reason for 
this standard is to attract quality students in the teaching field.

Despite poor turnout at the series of hearings, Woods said he thought those who attended 
gained a greater knowledge of what value added is.

"If 10 to 15 percent more students know what it (value added) is we'll be successful." Woods 
said.

Assessment and

The fourth discussion in the study will point out the program's advantages in assessing 
effectiveness at the post-secondary education level. Here the study will reveal statistical 
outcomes of the approach in support of the program's effectiveness.

The fifth chapter will show the program's relation to the future trends of higher education, 
illustrated by the unique adaptability of the program to changing needs in higher education. 
Finally, the value added program and its challenge for the future will be explored by studying 
the University's commitment to the approach as well as the program's commitment to its 
students.

More than 120 administrators faculty and students have been working on the self-study since 
February 1983. The individual committees work under the discretion of a 19-member steering 
committee, chaired by Jack Magruder, professor of science.

the value added program to gain accreditation in their specific areas. The University is 
currently accredited by the Missouri State Board of Nursing, the National Council for 
Accreditation of Teacher Education, the National Association of School Psychologists, the 
National Asssociation of Schools of Music, the National League of Nursing, the American 
Veterinary Medicine Association and the American Home Economics Association.

The receipt of statewide and national recognition in form of awards, additional funding 
and the accreditation process is a big step for the University. The City of Kirksville, 
however, also exhibited its pride in the University's success by honoring McClain and 
consequently, the administration, faculty, staff and students, at a banquet in December. 
More than 350 members of the University and Kirksville community attended the banquet 
sponsored by the Kirksville Chamber of Commerce.

Alvina Britz, past president of the Chamber of Commerce, said its members felt McClain, 
the administration, faculty, staff and students deserved recognition from the community.

"We believe it was a way to recognize the importance of NMSU to the community," Britz said. 
"The business community should know what value added is."

In addition to addresses by various members of the chamber of commerce and McClan, the 
seven-minute version of the award winning value added film was shown during the banquet.

Two films on the Value Added Model of Assessment were produced in the fall. The shorter 
film won an Award of Excellence from the Council for the Advancement and Support of 
Education. Tom Shrout, director of external relations, said the films were produced by 
Technisonic film and recording studio in St. Louis. The seven-minute videotape was produced 
to show at the Mitau Award acceptance in San Diego. Shrout said the University decided that 
since they were making the shorter film they would produce a longer one. The 16 minute tape 
contains information on value added but also informs viewers about the University itself, 
making it an image-builder. The cost for the two videotapes was absorbed by the Development 
Fund.

In addition to the films, the University also wrote a book on the program. Ostar asked 
McClain to furnish the Association with the contents of the publication, offering to 
publish and market the book to other institutions that wanted to know more about the 
approach. A seven-member committee compiled the publication during the fall semester.

The book provides a detailed description of the Value Added Model of Assessment at this 
University, including case studies, charts and graphs which support the program's 
effectiveness.

With the recognition, additional funding and other outcomes received of value added, 
students may think the program has done all it can. The Value Added Model of Assessment, 
however, is a plan that continues, adapting constantly to the changing needs of individual 
students and higher education as a whole. As Magruder said during one Student Senate value 
added hearing, "The whole program is not set in concrete. There is room for making changes. 
I would never view value added as 'we have arrived.'

As the governing body of the University, the Board of Regents is responsible for, among 
other things, making budget requests to the state and in turn, determining where that 
money goes.

It is through the value-added program that attention is drawn toward the need for such 
things as more instructors or new equipment. By using the value-added model, the 
University can statistically support its requests for additional personnel or resources.

In the budget request for the 1985 fiscal year, for example, the value-added program has 
provided statistical evidence that hiring eight additional faculty members "will allow for 
reasonable student-teacher ratios with a consequent increase in personalized attention and 
instructional followup."

Dale Schatz, university vice-president, said the Board shows support of the value-added 
program other than monetary. "They (the Board) often take action by resolutions which 
commend divisions on success," Schatz said. "In

that way, they build morale."

The success some divisions experience is partly the result of the Board's trust and 
respect for the integrity of the faculty members and division heads.

"It seems to me that in every university, there exists a distribution of tastes and 
responsibilities," Charles McClain, president, said. "And I think that as long as 
there is mutual respect and trust between the faculty and administration, we'll all 
be successful. I think there is a great sensitivity from the Board and myself toward 
the faculty." McClain said.

The sensitivity McClain refers to is exemplified by such proposals as the President's 
recent presentation of an early retirement plan to benefit faculty. In his February 
newsletter, McClain said, "Should this plan or a version of it be adopted, it would 
be the best in Missouri and perhaps the best in the nation." 

Schatz said the Board members exhibit support of the value-added program by their 
attempts to stay informed about the progression of the program "There's not a 
meeting held that we don't discuss value added," Schatz said. 

Besides discussions on value added in Board meetings, some Regents have triggered the 
topic in discussions within organizations outside the University. Robert Fenlon, Board 
secretary, invited McClain to speak to the Kiwanis Club in Fenlon's home town of Mexico. 
Fenlon said he invited the president to allow Kiwanis to get better-acquainted with the 
University. McClain was accompanied by Thomas Shrout, director of external relations, 
and Ray Jagger, campus photographer, who presented a slide show on the University.

"I'm darn proud of the University for being in the forefront of it (education)," Fenlon 
said. "The state university system serves this area ... and they (Kiwanis) need to become 
more familiar with their regional university."

Fenlon said that by reading the Index, he noticed the controversy of the value-added 
program among students. Fenlon also said students in his area seemed to be drawn more 
frequently to Southwest Missouri State University (Springfield) and Central Missouri 
State University (Warrenburg). Fenlon said he thought a more familar acquaintance with 
Northeast would be beneficial to the University.

"The club members received it (information) well," Fenlon said. "They could see it 
(value added) had a significant impact on the value of your education."

"With value added, if we're among the top in the nation in a particular area, we know 
that, and if we aren't, that's even more important because we know we need to pump up 
the programs involved to improve them," Fenlon said.

With the Board of Regents behind the value-added program both financially and morally, 
the chances for its success are far improved. Even more, the Board's support blazes the 
trail for faculty, staff and students to give their support to the program.

At the recognition banquet for the University, sponsored by the Kirksville Chamber of 
Commerce, Hilburn Fishback, president of the Board of Regents, compared the value-added 
program with the World Series, the Super Bowl or the Olympics. Fishback said that winning 
the G. Theodore Mitau Award for Innovation and Change in Education, is "like winning the 
World Series, only this time there were 357 teams involved rather than 24."

It all began with a memo 
by KEITH GREENWOOD

The term "value added" evokes both positive and negative reactions from the students and 
staff of the University. Value added has become the subject of jokes and editorial cartoons, 
as well as national recognition. The one person largely responsible for initiating the 
concept at the University is President Charles McClain. In 1975, McClain sent a note to 
dean of instruction Darrell Krueger suggesting that value added was going to be a "concept 
of the future" and the administration should get the "program in place in order to be a 
leader." Nearly 10 years later, the effects of the Value Added Model of Assessment are being 
felt among students, faculty and the community. In an interview in February, McClain talked 
about the history of value added and his perceptions of its future.

ECHO: What was your first contact with value added?

McClain: My early exposure to the term grew out of my study of economics and taxation. Value 
added is a fairly common tax in Europe. Essentially, it's taxing a product or a process for 
a raw material every time something is done to increase the value. For example, we would take 
a shot of lead and if we turned that into something that has more material value because of 
the labor that went into the process then we tax that new product. Unlike the American system 
of taxation where we pay sales tax on a car at the time we buy it; in Europe, the products in 
that car would have been taxed five to ten times. That was the genesis of my usage of the term 
value added. In effect, students are the raw material. We take actions in the educational 
process to increase their value, and thus, value added.

ECHO: How was the program brought here?

McClain: We just simply started it. Of course, as you know, it is a very simple model. It isn't 
anything complex at all. It's the process that is complex, the process of getting educational 
results. That complex process is mastered by the students and faculty. It isn't anything the 
administration has done that is great and wonderful. The wonderful part about the value-added 
program is the willingness of the faculty to accept the challenge of saying, "We're going to 
try to be sure that Northeast graduates are competitive on national examinations."

ECHO: What has been your role in coordinating this for the University?

McClain: I think that my role has been to present the vision of what can happen to the 
University as a result of the implementation of this plan. Additionally, my role is to create 
a climate at the university in which the faculty members feel very secure in their positions 
and know that administrators are not going to use test data capriciously, that we are not going 
to use test data to intimidate and we are not going to do some of these things that might occur 
at other campuses. Our style is one of trying to create a climate of confidence and one of mutual 
trust and respect. Every time a budget announcement or revenue shortfall announcement comes out 
of Jefferson City, I don't get up on the stage and tell the faculty that we may have to go into 
layoffs if we don't get more money or we may have to dismiss people. That isn't my style of 
administration.

ECHO: How long has the program been going on?

McClain: We actually started testing early in '72 or '73, on a voluntary basis, but we did not 
have a total model.

ECHO: Who was involved in setting up the planning to tailor it to the University? Was there a 
committee or group involved in that?

McClain: The answer is no. Of course, we didn't know the size of this child at the time it was 
born. We didn't quite know whether it would work. We were admittedly launching it with great 
hopes and dreams, but we had no proof it could be done. I think the pivotal questions were 
whether or not it would work and could we get division head support and faculty support. 
Decisions that relate to the curriculm and academic matters are usually left in the hands 
of the faculty. That's why we, of course, did not have an external body trying to impose 
this on the faculty. We said simply that if we cannot persuade the faculty that it's a good 
idea, we can't do it. If it is a sound idea, it'll fly because ideas have lives of their own.

ECHO: In the past ten years how has the concept grown and evolved?

McClain: What has probably happened in the last two years, as I put it from time to time, is 
it has crystallized. By crystallized 1 mean the students are now aware of it. I think we've seen 
that take place this year with the Mitau Award probably being the final culmination, in a sense, of 
public recognition of the achievement of the University through value added. To summarize how it has 
evolved, now every senior has to take the examination. When it began it was on a voluntary basis. 
Every sophomore now has to take an examination because if he or she doesn't, he or she cannot enroll 
at the junior year.

ECHO: What's it like now when you go to Jefferson City to lobby for the University Budget?

McClain: We've had a much different climate in Jefferson City the last couple of years. When 
the program was launched it seemed to me that people want to know that they're getting 
something for their money. In the past, presidents have tried to say, "Quality education is what we want 
more money for." No one was ever able to define it. All the time we were being vague and 
ambiguous about defining quality education. Law schools were still requiring the LSAT and the medical 
schools were still requiring the GMAT for entrance. It seemed to me that we could go to the legislature 
and show them that our students were scoring above the national level on these various kinds of 
measurements. It's very helpful for me to go to Jefferson City and say we did a study, and of 
our November 1982 accounting students taking the CPA examination, we had the highest 
percentage of passing rate in the state. The faculty looked further and we had the highest passing 
percentage rate in the nation. The legislature likes that because in Missouri, we are 47th or 48th in the 
amount of per capita support for education. We may be 50th now. We may have hit the bottom. 
They (the legislature) get so weary of listening to gloom and doom even though they know we are a 
low tax state and they know some of these realities, but they get so sick of people being pessimistic. 
And when some one brings recognition to the state, they sit up and take notice.

ECHO: Where is this program going to go in the future? Will it become widespread nationwide?

McClain: The word's not out yet. This is a big nation and the amount of stimuli that people have is so

program. McClain assumed his office in 1970.

great that it takes a lot of time for the word to get out. I get a letter a day wanting more information.

ECHO: What is your role going to be in the future of this concept?

McClain: My dream is that our faculty will become advisers to their counterpart disciplines 
at the other universities. I don't see myself spreading the gospel and being away from 
campus. I want to continue my role as a visible president on a small campus where students 
and faculty and administrators can know each other.

ECHO: Your travels to speak about value added would then decrease?

McClain: I would do that on a very selective basis. It's clear to me I could be gone a day 
or two days a week. I don't think one can be away from his campus all the time and have any 
kind of collegiality. By collegiality I mean that it's not a "we they" relationship. It's 
not the faculty versus the administrators and the administrators versus the faculty.

ECHO: The concept seems so simple, comparing test scores from when a student comes in to 
when he goes out and comparing them to nationals to determine how much value has been 
added to a person's knowledge. Why is it such a new program?

McClain: I marvel at the same question. We have always used comprehensive examinations at 
the qraduate level. We never abandoned that. I really don't know why we didn't protect the 
integrity of the undergraduate degree. Maybe there was a feeling in the early days when 
undergraduate education was very selective in that it was not necessary to protect the 
integrity of the undergraduate degree to the same extent it is today. Now 45 to 50 percent 
of high school graduates go on to post-secondary education. And whenever too many students 
are thrown into the academy who really don't care about learning, who are there simply to 
get a degree and a job and could care less about education and achievement and who want a 
credential, then I think that imposes a new requirement on us. That new requirement is to 
make sure that either they are achieving or they are not going to get a degree from this 
university. Maybe that's why we didn't launch a similar program earilier.

Concern for students make part of deans' job an Academic upgrade 
by JIM GAZZOLO

At this University, faculty members like to be a part of the academic team. They are 
also interested in helping the individual student. This can best be seen by looking 
at the administrative level.

Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction, is a big part of that administration. Krueger 
came to the University in 1971 as an associate professor of political science. He 
became the dean of instruction in 1973.

Krueger is very happy with the raise of standards the University has had. The major 
advancement has been in direct result of the value-added program now being used, he 
said.

"We were always looking to improve the University on academic levels. Value added just 
helped us to set the agenda," Krueger said.

The program was started back in 1974, when the University began to research the idea. 
Research began with the senior tests. From there the University continued the research 
with sophomore tests, questionnaires, and also by looking at grade point averages.

Since then, the University has seen an increase in the test scores. "Test scores in math 
went up first and then the social science scores went up," said Krueger. The scores of 
non-teaching majors has been on the rise also. Another fact that shows the program has 
been working is that 54% of Northeast students test above the national mean of these 
tests. "We are better than most institutions," Krueger said.

Krueger feels that the information learned can be both helpful and damaging. "The research 
can be negative if the program is defined narrowly, but it is positive if looked at as the 
overall and is very useful if used right," he said.

So far the University is pleased with the effect the program has had. "Value added has 
helped the University become what we want it to be," Krueger added. He does not feel 
that the job is over yet. "We cannot be satisfied. We need to strengthen the entire 
University," he said.

Another administration member who is concerned with the students is Dean of Students 
Terry Smith. Smith's activities are closely related to the students. "I'm responsible 
for what happens to the students outside the classroom," Smith said. "In some ways I 
am a go-between from student to faculty," he added.

Smith feels that the value-added program has been helpful for the University. "I think 
that the program has had a profound effect on the University. First, it tells people 
that we are interested in academics, and second, that we want quality rather than 
quantity," Smith said.

The University feels that the extra work load will be of benefit to the students. "Students 
must remember that a party lasts a few hours, a semester lasts a few weeks, but transcripts 
last a lifetime," Smith added.

The budgeting of time seems to have an effect on student grades. Studies by the University 
have shown that people who are busy and have to budget their time do better in class. "We 
have found that athletes do better during their season than in their off-season where they 
would have more time," Smith said.

The latest member to join the deans staff is Ruth Towne, interim dean of graduate studies. 
Towne had been with the University for 31 years and received her new position last August.

Towne realizes that it will take some time for her to get adjusted to the position. "I'm 
still feeling my way around and I will proceed with caution," she said.

Towne's major function is to preside over the graduate council. "I try to give the council 
leadership and direction."

Since taking over her position Towne has established four major adhoc committees. These 
committees have been set up in order to work for specific purposes.

Towne said the graduate program at the University has not differed much over the years. 
"The program has had little change as compared to the rest of the school. My major goal 
is to raise standards in the graduate program in order to agree with the value-added 
program," she said.

Towne is looking into a change in both the admissions and policies of the graduate program 
here. "I don't think the admissions standards are high enough for today," she said. She 
would like to see more emphasis put on the national tests rather than on GPA for ad 
missions. She feels that the University is starting to head in that direction.

Towne also wants to see some change in the procedures of the graduate program. She would 
like to set up more programs like workshops and internships for graduate students. The 
only problem is knowing just how much help such programs are to the students "We need to 
look at how much indepen dent studies help the students after college," Towne said.

THE NEWEST ADDITION to the dean staff, Dean of Graduate Studies Ruth Towne keeps a busy 
schedule. Towne divides her time between teaching and duties as dean.

Changes in policy follow changes
by LISA FITZGERALD

Members of Faculty Senate spent many meetings and many hours debating policy that will 
make the University a better learning experience for students. Math requirements, a new 
foreign language, freshmen and sophomore tests, admission standards and an accounting/data 
processing certificate program were all part of the changing face of academic policy.

One change that will affect about half of the student population is the addition of Math 
156, College Algebra, as a replacement for two math classes, Math 176, and Math 164. Math 
176, Math Analysis, will be dropped from the curriculum completely. Lanny Morley, head of 
the Division of Mathematics, said there are a few sections of it still scheduled for the 
fall semester of 1984, but it will eventually be phased out.

Math 164, Contemporary Math, will be dropped from the general education curriculum. Morley 
said as soon as students who entered the University under a catalog stating that Math 164 
fulfilled the general education requirement for math have finished their degrees, the class 
will no longer be part of the general education program. Some sections of Contemprary Math 
will be taught but only as an elective class.

College Algebra, which will be the general education requirement, will be a more advanced 
class than Contemporary Math. Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction, said, "(Math) 164 was 
a great course for people who already had a good background in mathematics."

The implementation of college algebra into the general education curriculum will place more 
of a demand on the Math Lab, Morley said. "We plan to make it available at several more times 
and will include tutors for College Algebra," he said.

Krueger said the algebra class will be introduced because the University feels that students 
need to have more math skills. "It has to do with what you believe should be included in a 
college education," he said.

Another change which will affect all incoming freshmen beginning with the 1985 spring 
semester is a stricter admission standard. Resident freshmen will need to rank in the upper 
60 percent in both class rank and test scores. Test scores from American College Test (ACT), 
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), and the Missouri School and College Ability Test (MSCAT) are used 
for admissions tests.

Non-resident freshmen will need to rank in the upper half of their graduating classes and 
achieve scores at or about the 50th percentile and the ACT or SAT.

Faculty Senate members voted to raise the standards because they said "a more selective 
admission policy would reaffirm (the University's) commitment to quality education."

Krueger said that since a large portion of the cost of education here is borne by Missouri 
residents, in-state students should have greater access to the University. Therefore, the 
admission standards for non-residents are slightly higher than for residents. This allows 
approximately 10 percent more students from Missouri to be eligible for admission.

According to the old admission standards residents are given favorable consideration if 
they rank in the upper two-thirds in both class rank and test scores. Favorable consideration 
is given to non-residents ranking in the upper half of their classes and at the 40th percentile 
or above on the ACT or SAT.

Freshmen and sophomore tests, which have been voluntary, were made mandatory, Krueger 
said. "Previous to the bill (that changed the policy), it was a voluntary thing. We asked people 
to come and take it and we got large participation of freshmen and a little less from 
sophomores. We felt that it was time we required it (the test)."

Krueger said there are two main reasons why the University conducts these tests. First, the 
test help measure the influence of the University on students. Second, they show instructors 
where students are weak so they can be advised properly.

Krueger said when the test was not required, the University generally had a participation 
rate of about 95 percent from freshmen and about 80 percent from sophomores. With the new 
requirement that the students take the test, the University hopes to raise these rates to 
nearly 100 percent.

Students will be disenrolled for failing to take the required test for their level, but 
Krueger said the University is working into the disenrollment gradually.

The free add/drop period was shortened to five days. Krueger said instructors felt students 
were changing too many classes, even into the second week of school. The new add/drop period 
makes it more difficult, and more expensive, for students to continue

changing courses as the semester progresses.

Krueger said the change will aid instructors in getting their courses operating 
smoothly. They will know which students are in their courses earlier, and they 
will not be forced to repeat large portions of the course material for those 
students who added the class late.

Course changes, was implemented in the Division of Business. Robert Dager, head 
of the Division of Business, said the two-year accounting/data processing certificate 
program is being dropped. "A two-year program like that is vocational in nature," he 
said. The program was originally intended to prepare students in those fields to go 
out and And jobs in either accounting or data processing. Dager said that both fields 
generally require a four-year degree to obtain positions now.

Only about 12 percent of the students enrolled in the certificate program graduated 
from it, and Dager said part of the reason for dropping it was lack of interest. He 
said many students in the program became aware that a certificate might be inadequate 
for them to obtain the positions they wanted. Many of them branched out into other 
areas of the accounting or data processing programs, he said.

Krueger said all of these academic policy changes reflect the University's efforts to 
bring its policies into line with its aspirations. He said the University is trying to 
change the gap between where their academic standards and opportunities actually are, 
and where they are according to policy

Evaluators review the past to see the future with A look into the mirror 
by LANA EXLINE

Students and faculty members are working together on reports to prepare for the Unviersity's 
re-accreditation evaluation this fall.

The reports will be included in a self-study that uses students' American College Tests scores, 
sophomore and senior test scores, student satisfaction and graduate students, student surveys, 
and other information, to gauge the effectiveness of the University's purposes and programs.

Committee chairperson Candy Young said, "We have been determining whether or not NMSU is 
educating students and helping them develop essential skills, as well as their own, self-growth
and cultural awareness.

An evaluation team made up of fellow members of the North Central Association of the 
Commission in Institutes of Higher Learning will review the reports. They may suggest changes in the 
University's programs that would make them more effective, and will recommend whether the 
University should be re-accredited or not. The University was accredited in March 1928, and 
has never been denied re-accreditation.

According to the Commission's handbook of accreditation, evaluation is based on four criteria: 
the institution has clear and publicly stated purposes, which must be consistent with its stated 
mission, and appropriate to a post-secondary level institution; the institution has organized 
human, financial and physical resources to help accomplish its purposes, and, the institution 
can continue to accomplish its purposes.

Subcommittee chairperson Walter Ryle said, ''Accreditation is very important. A school that 
doesn't get accreditation is a pretty sorry institution. It's a black mark against them." 

Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction said, "(If an institution is not accredited) graduate 
studies don't transfer as well, and a degree isn't as meaningful."

The University is basing its application for re-accreditation on the value-

added concept. Krueger said, "We want to show our best side in the study, and we think it's 
shown through the value-added model."

Jack Magruder, chairman of the committee, said value added will have a tremendous influence 
in the reaccreditation process because effectiveness of the university's programs is one of 
the measured criteria. "We will be able to point that team to measure effectiveness in a way 
that will just surprise them," he said.

Four committees and 15 subcommittees were formed to study how the value-added concept is 
helping the University meet the criteria set by the Commission.

Magruder, said that every faculty member was invited to participate as part of the committee. 
"Its not required, but it's a beautiful opportunity to learn about the university.

Being a member of the committee is a professional commitment just as other university 
committees such as Faculty senate are. Magruder said. "Faculty members are not employed to 
teach classes only. This isn't an extra thing, it's a responsibility. No one had to serve, 
and not more than two or three faculty members turned it down and they did so for very good reasons." 

Students were asked to serve as resource people on committees. They helped faculty members, 
collected data and represented the students' point of view. Students also helped write case 
studies on specific divisions and programs which showed that the value-added concept is 
working at the University.

Junior Sharon Weiner served on a sub-committee that studied the University's stated purposes. 
"We took what we thought were good ideas and divided up the work. Then, when we met the 
next time, we would go over what we had gotten, and revise anything we needed to," Weiner said. 
"I felt perfectly comfortable with the faculty members even when I didn't agree with them. I 
respected their position in the University, and they let me know my opinions were valuable, 
too."

Senior Shawn Eckerle served on a committee that studied whether the University is 
accomplishing its purposes. "(Working on the committee) helped me see that there are 
a lot of faculty members out there that really care about the University and the students, 
and are really trying to make value added work. I think the administration should be commended," 
Eckerle said.

Students who worked on the committees gained insight into how the University operates, what 
its policies and missions are, and how the value-added concept is helping the faculty and 
administrators accomplish these missions.

Senior Rashid Malik served on a committee that studied the University's faculty and 
instructional resources. "I think the self-study is very productive toward the 
development of the college as a whole," Malik said. "The whole can't exist without 
the part, and each part is becoming more valuable."

Krueger said, "I have seen one of the reports so far. It looks very good. (The evaluation 
team) (will probably) be astonished with the value-added concept.

After the evaulation team visits the University in November, the team will send its 
recommendation and the self-study to the Commission's executive board, where the final 
decision will be made. University administrators expect to receive copies of the decision 
in spring 1985.

Evaluators turn the tables 
The results of recommendations could be a weeding out of week programs
by KEITH GREENWOOD

The state Coordinating Board of Higher Education is doing to the University what the 
University has been doing to its students.

The board launched a five-year program this year to evaluate all the programs at state-
supported colleges and universities. When the results are in, the board will recommend 
dropping weak programs on some campuses if they are being handled better on another 
campus or the program is just no good. The board is also trying to find programs that should be 
strengthened and what the individual universities' needs are.

Each year, 20 percent of a university's total programs will be evaluated. The board picks 
some of the programs for statewide review and the rest are left for each university to 
determine. This year, the board chose the agriculture, computer science and secondary 
education programs as the programs to be reviewed on each campus that has them. The 
Division of Language and Literature, the Division of Fine Arts, and the Division of 
Nursing were designated by the University to be reviewed also.

When the programs to be reviewed have been picked, a statewide review committee with two 
members from each campus is formed. Standardized forms for reporting the data are then 
sent to each university with a due date for having the reports done. This year the reports 
were due March 30.

After the faculty and administrators fill out the forms and the report is compiled, the 
information is sent back to the committee. Consultants from out of state are hired to 
study the data and draw conclusions. The committee studies those conclusions and makes 
recommendations to the academic affairs committee of the coordinating board. Those 
recommendations are passed on to the entire board in time for consideration in the next 
budget proposals. A report in made every year during the five-year program.

Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction, said some confusion developed about the term program. 
The board is looking at specific programs within a division while the University is 
considering entire divisions.

"We weren't quite sure how much we were supposed to look at," Krueger said. "Their term and 
our term don't mean the same thing. We tend to consider the whole division."

The University reviews each division on its own every year. The reasons are much the same 
as those of the coordinating board; to determine which programs are weak, and should be 
cut what equipment needs the University is going to face and what areas should be watched 
in the coming year. The process is not new to the faculty.

"If you ask the faculty they'll say "We aren't doing anything different for the state 
review," Ed Carpenter, head of the Division of Language and Literature, said. "We've 
been doing this same thing every year."

The coordinating board will not actually tell a university to cut or strengthen certain 
programs. Krueger said that will be controlled through the budget process.

Each year the board reviews budget requests from each university and develops a total 
budget proposal to be broken down among the various universities. That proposal is sent 
to the governor for approval or revision. The general Assembly votes on the budget and 
then the governor gives it final approval or vetoes it.

After the statewide committee makes its recommendations to the coordinating board, the 
board will look at what has been recommended for each university. The results of this 
year's evaluation will affect the budget for the 1985-86 school year. Krueger said if 
a recommendation was made to drop a program, the University will get less money. If a 
program should be strengthened, the university will get more money. The money available 
because a program should be cut will cover the extra money needed to strenghen a program 
so the total budget for all the universities will probably stay about the same.

Unique classroom experiences give students break from books in a Departure from the
by MARK GANDY

Some classes, if not many, may seem typical in nature. Attending classes can become routine 
when one listens to an instructor lecture two or three times a week, reads assignments, takes 
tests and writes a term paper. But some instructors found ways for students to apply what they 
learned through more unusual assignments.

One class which called for an unusual assignment was a music appreciation class. The 
assignment was to write a piece of music two or three minutes in length. Students 
created the melody without using any standard instruments.

"They were mostly percussive effects," Gordon Robson, assistant professor of music, said. 
"Some banged on bottles with different amounts of water in them. There was another group that 
banged shoes on a table."

Robson said he found that the students who produced different pitches by sticking pieces of 
cardboard in six different fans to be the most unique.

Junior Dave Rathke, one of the performers playing the fans, said he was skeptical when he 
started working on the assignment. "I thought it was stupid at first, but then I realized 
the assignment strengthened our imagination," he said.

Rathke said he did not want to be like everybody else, banging bottles on tables. "I just wanted 
to produce something that was creative," he said.

Robson said his class stresses listening to music rather than composing. He said the assignment 
was devised so the class would experience music in different perspectives other than the 
listening.

"The assignment itself was to get at the creative aspect of music as the
 
(Page 105)

routine

composer," he said. "I knew that most of the students wouldn't experience it otherwise."

Robson said that he belived the assignment fulfilled the objectives. Robson found from 
a questionnaire that students preferred the unusual assignment over the typical reading 
assignments followed by a test.

Another class that pulled students away from the books and into the "real world" as Linn 
Ratcliff, associate professor of speech, put it was an organizational and professonal 
communication class.

Students were grouped in teams to select a business or campus organization. The teams then 
analyzed the communication within the organization.

The teams achieved this by use of questionnaires, employee interviews, and a sociogram which 
shows who spoke to whom within an organization. The teams then interpreted the data and 
made an assessment of the communication flow within the organization.

The final step was to make recommendations to the organization. This could be through 
suggesting a change in structure or recommending the training of certain personnel.

Ratcliff said some of the organizations that have been audited by the teams have found the 
recommendations very valuable and that the assignment gives the students a chance to learn 
from an area other than a text learn from an area other than a text book.

"This assignment put students into a setting that will be similar to one they find when they 
get out into the professional world," Ratcliff said.

"I definitely learned more actually being out in the field reading about organizational 
communication," junior Carol Thomassen, said. "This experience will also look good on a 
resume."

Most instructors believe that learning is by doing. Not only do these two classes follow 
this method of education, but the unusual assignment took the students away from the 
typical class calling for reading and testing into an experience that developed both the 
practical and creative aspects of the imagination.

Higher requirements for examinations make some courses A test of endurance 
by JODI CARLSON

In the package of things that can be associated with schools, test-taking is one area 
that is not foreign to students.

"Northeast is not unique in requiring testing and standardized tests. Most universities 
require one or two tests," Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction, said. "We might be a 
little unique in how we conceptualize the means of testing."

Besides the sophomore and senior tests which all students take, some divisions have 
implemented further testing to assess student abilities in division-related as well 
as basic skill areas.

The Division of Health, Physical Education and Recreation requires its students to 
score at certain percentiles on reading and writing tests and demonstrate competencies 
in analysis and teaching courses.

In these courses, competency testing covers the areas of performance of skills, knowledge 
and analysis. An average of these three test scores results in a competency score for the 
class. Students must score at or above the 75th percentile; failure to do this results in 
an incomplete grade for the course.

"The incomplete means that we're (the division) going to provide special tutoring help for 
them (the students)," William Richerson, division head, said. "That either because of the 
nature of the subject matter or because of the size of the class, the teacher wasn't able 
to give them what we felt was essential material for them to be an effective teacher and 
performer in that activity."

Students with incompletes have one semester to work on improving their weak areas with the 
help of an instructor or upperclassman. They retake the test and receive the grade for the 
course if they meet the competency requirement. If they do not meet the requirement, they 
are not allowed to continue in the program.

In addition, a cardiovascular resuscitation proficiency and a fitness competency are 
required. Regarding the latter, Richerson said, "The fitness competency is strictly 
because we think they (the students) project a certain image as the physical education 
teacher" and "that they are good role models." This assessment looks at muscular 
strength and endurance, cardio-vascular endurance, flexibility and percent body fat. 
Work can be done in the Human Performance Lab to improve any deficiencies.

The division also requires a senior seminar course in which students must again demonstrate 
all skill competencies, except reading and writing, but at an average at the 85th percentile 
with no individual score below 75 percent. "We don't want it to get to the point where one 
strength overcompensates for a weakness," he said.

The 1983 graduating class was the first class to complete four years under this competency 
system.

A first is also being seen by this year's freshman science majors. The Division of Science 
has started assessing incoming students on their reading, writing, math and chemistry skills 
through a series of four tests, the division is able to tailor a recommended sequence of 
science courses.

"One of our major concerns has been that our beginning science students are not often 
strong enough in math and chemistry to master our beginning level courses, particularly 
chemistry," David Hanks, professor of microbiology, said. "Our attrition rate was so high 
for those courses that we wondered what we could do to assist the students to either prepare 
them for these classes or assist them to complete the course successfully."

The final decision is left up to each student, but most follow the divison's recommended 
sequence, Hanks said.

Freshman Ellen Barry said, I thought it (the test) was (helpful) because by taking it they 
(the faculty) could tell where you needed to start out."

Freshman Dana Wendhausesn, "They (the tests) helped me in choosing what classes I took. I 
scored fairly high in math." Consequently, she and her adviser decided Elementary Functions 
would be the best course choice. "Calculus, I know would have been too hard and Math Analysis 
would have been a review."

Assessment takes a different turn in the Division of Military Science. Skills are evaluated 
through a leadership assessment program. Sophomore students are put through four different 
situations in the Military Science 200 course.

"They (the students) role play, essentially," Paul Spivey, assistant professor of military 
science, said. The situations involved acting as resident assistant in two different instances, 
a residence hall director and a substitute for division head.

Twelve dimensions or skills are evaluated through these situations: oral communication, oral 
presentation, written communication, initiative, organizing, delegation, administrative conrol, 
problem analysis, judgement and decisiveness.

Each student is rated and must make at least an average score to pass. If weakness are 
indicated, students receive guidance for improvement for military science instructors.

Preparation for military roles after college constitutes the importance of this assessment. 
"We deal with leadership and management," Spivey said. "A commissioned officer starts off as 
a leader and manager; this is their training program here at the University."

"It (the assessment) showed to me how you can go so far by just being mentally prepared," 
senior Jeff Bailey said.

All this testing ties in with the value-added concept which uses test data to evaluate 
programs and the University. Each division is responsible for its own curriculum and 
testing.

"We think in these kinds of things (assessment testing) that are so closely tied to the 
majors -- what you make your students achieve -- (the faculty are) the ones who should 
control it," Krueger said.

INTERNATIONAL ISSUES are the topic of discussion for Model U.N. members juniors Connie 
Ziegler, Troy Cardona and George White and senior Tim Bickhaus.

DETAILED DISCUSSION between juniors Troy Cardona and George White settles last minute 
details for the Midwest Model United Nations in St. Louis.

Eight students on campus spend seven to ten hours a week thinking like Africans. These 
students are delegates representing the African nation of Chad for the Midwest Model 
United Nations.

"We have to get rid of our American values and pretend we're that country," senior 
delegate Sam Frank said.

The Model U.N., held in St. Louis from February 22-26, is sponsored by the University 
of Missouri -- St. Louis. Other schools in the Midwest participate as delegates from 
other nations.

Returning as a delegate for the third year in a row, junior Connie Ziegler, a transfer 
student from Jefferson College in Hillsboro, described the Model U.N. as "a simulation 
of the real United Nations." Senior delegate Tim Bickhaus said it was a chance to go 
through the U.N. processes by actually doing them.

In preparation for the Model U.N., the students are expected to do the researching and 
writing of resolutions on their own. Their adviser is Stuart Vorkink, associate professor 
of political science.

"Dr. Vorkink does the administrative work. The research is left up to us. If

we're unsure about Chad on an issue, we go to him for help," Ziegler said.

"He's not there to be parental guidance. He's there to guide us and evaluate us," 
Bickhaus said.

The delegates spend up to ten hours a week doing research on Chad. They use resources 
like the "New York Times," the "United Nations Chronicle," and other periodicals. They 
also keep in touch with congressmen. Ziegler said their responsibility is to keep up 
with whats going on in the world.

The delegates divide into committees which research sepcific areas. The Political/Security 
committee researches cross-border intervention and the rights of the native people. The 
Legal committee researches the Law of the Sea and reviews the U.N. charter. The 
Economic/Financial committee researches international debts and refugee assistance and 
the Special Political committee researches topics like unilateral defense and peace of 
outer space.

The delegates said an important issue in Chad is the conflict with Libya. The country is 
engaged in a civil war, trying to gain independence. The Chadian delegates worked closely 
with delegates from France, on whom Chad is dependent.

"We should support France. As far as specific issues are concerned, we'll take the lead 
from what France does," Bickhaus said.

The Model U.N. is carried out in the same way the real U.N. is. The delegates from the 
schools meet in their various committees, discuss world problems and write resolutions 
which will be debated in the general assembly. All the nations meet together on the last 
day and pass or throw out resolutions.

Bickhaus said it was important to form coalitions with other countries in order to get 
your resolutions passed.

"Sometimes it's kind of a shouting match," Ziegler said.

The students said they got involved with the Model U.N. to learn more about the U.N. 
system and other countries. "It's a way of learning more about the organization and 
its purpose," Frank said.

Bickhaus, who was named the head delegate when junior David Thompson left to do an 
internship in Jefferson City, said the main objective of the U.N. is to "create order 
in our planet. Whether we realize it or not, we can have a lot fewer wars with the U.N." 
Some frustration arises knowing that nothing the U.N. resolves can be enforced, he said.

"I'm looking forward to it. Most of the guys can really speak well. You can't be afraid 
in this situation," Ziegler said.

Ziegler said more people at a university this large should get involved. "We started out 
with about 26 interested people but it ended up with just eight." She said, people dropped 
because delegates must pay their own way and hotel room.

The students enroll in the Midwest Model United Nations under SS 554 and can take up to 
three hours of credit or can take it for no credit, as Ziegler is doing.

"I hope I have learned from it after three years," Ziegler said

Business industry salaries prompt

At a time when emphasis is being placed on the academic quality of students, the Division 
of Business is making sure the University does not lose its best instructors.

Robert Dager, head of the division, faculty members, the alumni office and university 
administrators are cooperating to create a special fund which will enable the University 
to compete with larger universities and the business industry for upper level faculty.

"Business salaries in general are competitive (with other universities) below the doctorate 
degree. They are not competitive with business and industry," Dager said. The fund is being 
set up to retain present faculty members as they increase their credentials and to expand 
the faculty by adding outstanding people from the business field, Dager said.

"We need to look at alternatives to meet the needs of salaries for the business faculty," 
Dager said. Larger universities are able to offer higher salaries to faculty members who 
have their doctorates because

they have outside sources such as private endowments.

In 1981 most full-time professors at NMSU made $27,740. Only one had a higher salary 
of $30,000. This position was held by Ollin Drennan who is the Reiger-Black Distinguished 
Professor of Physics and Natural Science, a position established by the University.

Salaries at NMSU were comparable to those offered at Northwest Missouri State University 
and the 1980 national average for public institutions which was $28,800. However, at the 
University of Missouri-Columbia, professors were making up to $82,000. Most UMC professors 
made salaries of more than $30,000. Competition from corporations and industry is even 
greater.

"I think (the project) is very important. It's a must if we want to keep highly qualified 
accounting faculty," said Eugene Croarkin, associate professor of accounting.

The goal of the Annual Giving Capital Campaign for the Division of Business Endowment Fund 
is -to raise $300,000 by Aug. 1. An advisory committee made up of alumni, who are now 
corporate executives and Certified Public Accountant partners, will develop a corporate 
campaign for contributions toward an endowment fund.

Dager said he would like to receive $230,000 from corporations and foundations. In addition, 
he would like to find one individual or corporation to contribute $100,000 to provide for an 
endowed chair similar in status to the position held by Drennan. An additional $71,000 was 
expected to come from the Tel-Alumni campaign held in October and November.

The Tel-Alumni calling effort was coordinated by Michael Reiser, instructor of business 
administration, and senior Jeff Goldammer. They initiated two seminars designed "to help 
educate callers on the reasons for the fund drive and how to make calls," Dager said. The 
faculty members, students and business-related organizations who called were only able to 
raise approximately $30,000 in pledges. Dager said this was because nearly one-third of the 
business alumni they had hoped to reach could not be contacted.

The difference between the expected and actual figures will be made up by foundations and 
corporations, Dager said. An advisory council was formed to develop ideas and strategies 
to achieve the division's goals.

"I think it's a good idea. You can't blame people for going where the money is," said junior 
Laurie Seay, an accounting major.

The program is also receiving support from the administration. Letters encouraging prospective 
supporters were sent out by President Charles McClain.

"I think' it is the best way to go," said Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction. "The important 
thing is to support all the faculty to the degree that we can."

Krueger also said that the project is not isolated to the business division. He said that other 
divisions within the University should and will begin fund raising activities in the future

Lights flashed on and off. Various whirring sounds filtered from obscure places in the 
huge complex of metal and glass. The only human inhabitant of this antiseptic environment 
was either a deranged, power-hungry scientist or a maladjusted egghead with unkempt hair 
and plastic-rimmed glasses. Depending on his moral persuasion, he usually either solved a 
crime or committed one.

This was the Hollywood version of the world of computers, circa 1950. In the decades since 
then, computers have become smaller, more powerful and available, and understandable to the 
general public. They are not just used to solve crimes or complex chemical formulas; they 
figure and print our paychecks and our bills, turn our lights on and off and know us by more 
sets of numbers than we care to think about.

This computer boom has prompted many institutions of learning to initiate programs designed 
to equip students with the computer skills they will need to survive in the world of the 
twenty-first century. In response to the demands of a computerized world, the University has 
begun several programs to give students and faculty the inside edge.

Many students are not interested in becoming computer programmers as a profession, but 
rather want to simply learn more about computers and how they work. Others have computer 
classes and find that they cannot get on to university terminals whenever they want.

In response to the demand for computers, the Residence Life and Computer Services offices 
assessed the needs of students in residence halls. The result was the establishment of 
computer clusters in the halls. The clusters included terminals, software programs and 
printers, as well as other computer accessories. The numbers of residents in the hall 
determined that hall's allocation of computers and equipment.

Freshman Jill Foster said she was pleased with the installation of the clusters in Ryle Hal. 
"I think it's a good idea. It gives a person that hasn't learned a chance to play around on 
them. I like to tinker around on them because they fascinate me," Foster said. Foster said 
she wanted to learn more about computers and eventually buy her own for personal use.

Another part of the purchase plan of the Residence Life and Computer Services was computer 
packages for individual rental. The Commodore computers were ordered from the same 
company as the units for the clusters, Systems Plus Inc. However, while almost all of the 
equipment for the clusters arrived, none of the individual computers were shipped. Ron Gaber 
director of residence life, said the company would be contacted on the matter, and the decision 
might be made to order the computers from another company.

Once the word "computers" brought to mind images of robots and Flash Gordon-like space 
travel. But now, this mid-wife of futuristic fantasy has found its place not only in corporate 
headquarters and homes, but in many aspects of college life.

The basic computer system used at the University is the International Business Machines 
(IBM) 4331-2 with approximately 45 connecting terminals and video displays throughout 
campus, including Violette Hall, Science Hall and Pickler Memorial Library. Students and 
faculty may use these terminals by typing in proper identification codes and passwords.

The rest of the computer network is comprised of a Burroughs system, which houses confidential 
information and a self-contained Commodore microcomputer. "The microcomputers are used heavily 
by the students in the Introduction to Data Processing classes as opposed to the more advanced 
IBM system," said Gwen Watt, academic computing specialist with Computer Services.

As a free service, Watt has been teaching classes for interested faculty members on uses of 
computer in education. Watt said she explains the basic functions and takes the classes 
through simple programs and into script and word processing, explaining the various computer 
languages.

Watt said she has been teaching the class for three years and the response each time has far 
exceeded the facilities. The room in which she holds the class has only 15 terminals. Under 
such limitations, she said she has simply increased the number of classes. Watt said the main 
purpose behind the course is to give instructors the same kind of computer familiarity, or 
literacy, that more and more students are achieving.

Susan Jackson, temporary assistant instructor of nursing, said the increased use of computers 
was inevitable. She said one of the major advantages she found from the use of computers in 
teaching was the ability to keep track of student progress. Jackson said nursing students are 
required to complete a computer program, so it was necessary for her to be computer literate.

Another faculty member attending the class, Linda Henderson, temporary assistant instructor 
of nursing, said that the hardest part about using the computers was simply sitting down 
and becoming acquainted with the terminal and the information, or software, it uses

The rental cost was arbitrarily set, Gaber said. "The reason we charge is not to make 
money. It (the rental fee) works basically as a user fee that we wanted to make appealing 
to students." The same system would cost $ 1,500 if purchased, he said.

Where the money will go has not yet been decided, Gaber said. "I would imagine it would 
go for computer maintenance and help pay labor expenses," he said.

Computers were made available on a first-come, first-served basis. After a renter paid 
the fee, a student trained in the installation of the computers connected the terminal 
in the renter's room.

Securing the computer clusters and individual computers from theft was a major consideration 
in the establishment of the residence hall systems, Gaber said. All computers were linked by 
a heavy chain and the presence of a night host or hostess in the large women's residence halls 
provided a good measure of safety, he said. The University also evaluated the security of the 
locks on the computer room doors and discussed the installation of motion detectors with 
alarms. "It would take quite a bit to walk off with that equipment," Gaber said.

Each student was held responsible for the security of his or her rented computer equipment, 
Gaber said. In addition, the rented equipment could not be taken out of the student's room.

Gaber said that any of the 30 terminals that were not rented by students would be added to 
the computer clusters. Also, if response to the computers was positive, the Residence Life 
office would prepare to purchase a variety of additional computers in succeeding years, he 
said. "It helps to have more of a demand than a supply."

As another alternative to crowded campus terminals, some students opted to bring their 
computer from home or buy their own, rather than renting. With a modem, students hooked 
up with the University system to do class assignments.

Junior Ellen Imoehl used her Commodore 64 to work on programs in her computer science 
major. Although she had to disassemble the computer after each use to open up space in 
her room Imoehl said it was still better than waiting for time on the busy University 
terminals. Imoehl said that she used her computer about 15-20 hours per week for class 
work and personal use.

Junior Don Henderson also said he used his Commodore 64 to augment his computer science 
major. "I haven't learned that much about microcomputers in computer class, so I'm using 
my equipment for that," he said.

Henderson said friends in the basic computer class used his computer to test their programs.

While in high school, freshman Jim Sehnert learned to use his computer to store class notes 
and other information. Sehnert said he used his equipment six to eight hours per week to 
help him study and memorize class notes.

home is where the hardware is as sophomore darren courville types in a basic 
program on sophomore jeff cassmeyer's terminal.

The above scene is fictional, but with the recent popularity of such films as "War 
Games," in which a young computer enthusiast breaks into the computer system of his 
local high school and changes his grades with the touch of a key, the possibility of 
such high-tech hijinks becomes very obvious.

In reality, however, the chance of some disgruntled student gaining access to such 
confidential items as grades or financial records is virtually impossible, David 
Rector, director of computer services, said.

The University's IBM system maintains academic programs, such as student programs for 
classes, study skill programs, language programs and even games. These can be called 
up free of charge to anyone with access to the University system through campus terminals 
or phone lines.

The Burroughs system, on the other hand, contains material such as who owes what to the 
University, who is registered in which classes, and grade information. Only certain people 
know the required identification numbers and passwords to gain access to the Burroughs 
system and even then only specific terminals can perform certain tasks.

For instance, Rector said, only the Registrar's Office can handle changes in student 
grades or class schedules, the Business Office can handle financial changes and Housing 
can handle housing changes. The other Burroughs terminals can be used to call up and 
examine this stored information but cannot change anything on the computer. This cuts 
down the number of people who can add or subract specific information from files. The 
offices where these terminals are located tend to be heavily used and since this computer 
system can not be broken into via phone lines it would be next to impossible for an 
unauthorized person to tap into.

In the unlikely chance that someone did get into one of these offices after hours and 
was clever enough to discover the correct passwords with intent to change information, 
he or she would learn that this information had been removed from the computer's memory 
until business hours next day. This is done so the system can process information requests 
made during the day.

For added security, auditors visit the University at least once a year to examine the 
entire system, check passwords and look for possible tampering. To date, there has not 
been a single case of anyone even attempting to break into the Burroughs system, Rector 
said.

A recent incident at Central Missouri State University (Warrensburg) where a student 
broke into the computer system points out the wisdom of maintaining a dual computer 
system. CMSU's system allows students to phone in to their academic programs. These 
programs and administrative programs, which contain such information as grades, can 
communicate with each other, meaning someone connected to the academic programs could 
conceivably gain access to the administrative programs if he or she figured out the 
proper passwords.

Rector said there are positive aspects to having two compatible computer systems which 
can exchange information, but just as much security is gained by having two separate 
systems.

The University has maintained this two-computer system since 1973, but the current IBM 
system, which is University property, has only been in use since June 1980. The Burroughs 
system has been leased since June 1982, Rector said

With Russian comes a challenge

Eyes try to adapt to new letters, ears and voices to new sounds. Minds strain to put 
words and letters together in logical sentences. At last, relief comes: the instructor 
smiles and says  --"enough torture!" An unfamiliar alphabet, unusual word order and 
difficult pronunciation make Russian, the newest foreign language course, a challenge 
for students.

"You learn a lot of self-discipline in that class, that's for sure," freshman Tamera Morse 
said. Morse said the most difficult part of the course was "the first week, walking into it 
cold, to a different alphabet and all."

Senior Mike McClaskey said the different alphabet was part of the attraction of the course 
for him. "It was a language I had never had before. It was challenging," McClaskey said.

The Russian alphabet is based on a form of Greek used in the ninth century. According to 
the Encyclopedia Brittanica, its inventor, thought to be St. Cyril, developed the 40-letter 
alphabet in that century for Slavic-speaking peoples of the Eastern Orthodox faith. The 
alphabet has gone through several changes since that time and now contains 32 letters.

Russian is the third most spoken language in the world, after English and Chinese. "We should 
really know the language that is spoken by one of the two largest political forces in the world," 
said Greg Richter, assistant professor of foreign language and instructor of the Russian course.

President Charles McClain said, "It gives us a terribly important advantage if we have a number 
of people who know Russian." Along with the obvious political advantage, people in business, 
science and other areas can benefit from the knowledge of Russian, McClain said.

Morse said she is learning Russian to augment her political science major and to give her a 
better understanding of the Russian people and culture.

Richter, who himself speaks six languages, was stimulated to start learning Russian while in 
high school in San Francisco. His interest in Russian was piqued after discovering his 
great-grandfather's diary, which was written in Russian. His teaching method seems to 
successfully combine humor and curiosity. "He keeps the class going by putting funny 
and different phrases together for us to learn," freshman Cathy Patterson said.

With 15 students, none of whom had had Russian in high school, Richter said he could pace 
himself to the class' needs. "In class, I'm very spontaneous but try not to be too fast," 
he said. "I try to keep 80 percent of my teaching in the Russian language, but if students 
get stuck I let them ask questions in English."

Richter said he was pleased with the student response to Russian. "I haven't had any real 
problems with students cutting class; everyone that didn't drop is really interested in 
learning the language," he said. The students that did drop the class felt they could not 
handle Russian with their classload, he said. "You need a certain amount of time to commit 
to the class if you intend to do well," Richter said.

Elementary Russian I was added after regular spring registration for fall courses and 
Elementary Russian II was offered during the spring semester. "There's no intermediate 
class yet; I'm waiting to see what happens by next year," Richter said.

ed by tough breaks
by JIM BROWN

The plan for the 1983 edition of Bulldog football was to "repeat the old with the new." 
The "new" was there in first-year head coach Jack Ball, but the winning ways of a year 
ago were not.

According to Murphy's Law, as the Bulldogs found out time and again through the season, 
whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Injuries, unrest and the adjustment to a new system 
plagued the two-year Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association Champions from the 
opening kickoff to the final gun, from which emerged a disappointing 4-7 season and a 
second place MIAA finish.

The Bulldogs lost a heart-breaker in the opening game to the University of Nebraska-Omaha. 
The ball was at the UNO five yard line on the last play of the game. Senior quarterback Tom 
Hayes connected with senior receiver Rich Otte as time ran out for an apparent touchdown, 
but Otte was ruled out-of-bounds when he caught the ball and the Bulldogs lost their first 
game of the season, a tough 7-12 verdict. "Our biggest problem at Omaha was a lack of 
execution," Ball said. "From the 20 to the five we were great, but when we got down there 
they stuffed us."

The Bulldogs traveled to the University of South Dakota -- Vermillion for the second game. 
That second week on the road turned no better results as the Coyotes came away with a 9-42 
win over the Dogs. "I think our downfall, offensively, was a combination of things -- play 
selection and mental mistakes," junior splitend John Busby said. "It only takes one out of 
11 players to make a mistake, and this confuses the other players. No one person made the 
mistakes consistently, but as a team we did."

The Bulldogs came home in

Tough breaks crush

the third contest of the season to play the University of Minnesota -- Duluth. This time 
they were able to make some lights work on their side of the scoreboard.

Combining the passing of Hayes and the receiving of Otte and senior Mark Egofske, the 
Bulldogs gained 80 yards in the final 2:17 of the game to take a 20-19 Parents' Day 
victory. "I was just thinking that if we could execute our two-minute offense, we could 
do it," Hayes said, "I knew we could get down there; it was just a matter of getting it 
in the end zone."

"I wouldn't trade our kids for their kids for victory or any sum of money," were the 
sentiments echoed by Ball following a 9-42 defeat at the hands of Eastern Illinois 
University-Charleston the next week. The Panters used a stiff passing attack to bury 
the Dogs, dropping their record to 1-3.

The Bulldogs lost their fourth game of the season, when Pat Veselik of Northern Michigan 
University kicked a 22-yard field goal with 26 seconds left in the game, to lift NMU to a 
16-19 win. It was a seesaw battle until NMU moved the ball down the field and deep into 
Bulldog territory where, on fourth and goal to go, Veselik provided the margin of victory 
with his fourth field goal of the afternoon. The Bulldogs were able to move the ball back 
into field goal position, but the attempt of 39 yards by senior kicker Jack Calvert was 
short as time ran out. "We were flawless offensively in the first half and made all of 
our mistakes in the second," Ball said.

Going to Cape Girardeau to face Southeast Missouri State University -- Cape Girardeau the 
next week would seem to be an easy task for the Dogs. However, the team had only had one 
victory at Southeast in the last 11 years, and this game proved to be another typical 
MIAA battle.

At Southeast the Bulldogs discovered a couple of things; namely, senior running back Art 
Addison and sophomore place-kicker Brad Schrader. Addison was the leading rusher for the 
day and Schrader set new University and MIAA records for field goals in one game with four. 
The Bulldogs took a 25-17 lead with 1:14 to go in the game and had the ball back with 
an interception by senior defensive end Dave Paxson. Southeast scored again seven plays 
later, but the Bulldogs held on for a 25-23 victory.

Homecoming was in October; alumni were in town and the parade was festive. But it was 
Central Missouri State university -- Warrensburg who rained on the Bulldogs' parade to 
the tune of a 13-31 loss.

It looked like the Bulldogs would send the Homecoming crowd away happy in the early going 
as they scored on a run by Addison to take a 7-0 lead.

From there on out it was Central Missouri as they took advantage of numerous breaks and 
ripped off 24 unanswered points and another seven following an Addison touchdown run. 
"We beat ourselves," senior Mark McLeod said.

The next Bulldog game renewed an old battle with Northwest Missouri State University -- 
Maryville. Addison gained 134 yards in the 49th renewel of the traditional contest and 
the Bulldogs came away with a 27-21 victory over the Bearcats.

After an idle week, the Bulldogs took on Lincoln University (Jefferson City) at home. Lincoln 
proved to be no problem as the Bulldogs won 42-6. Addison continued to impress Bulldog 
coaches and fans as he ran for 117 yards on 13 carries and two touchdowns. Having spent most 
of his college career watching others run the ball, Addison got his chance at Southeast and made 
the best of it. "I don't feel bitter about it (not playing)," Addison said. "My family and 
friends are more upset about it. I'm just glad about this year."

The final MIAA contest of the year came when the Bulldogs played the University of Missouri 
-- Rolla. The big news of the week didn't come on Saturday, but Friday night before the game. 
Seniors Paul Eckhoff, Kimo McDermott, Paxson and juniors Paul Nusbaum and Scott Cummings 
were suspended from the team for breaking training rules.

Saturday's game wasn't much better news, as the Bulldogs lost a tough 14-9 decision to the 
Miners on a fourth down touchdown pass with 2:22 remaining in the game.

The Bulldogs traveled to Springfield to play Southwest Missouri State University in the final 
game of the season, without the services of the suspended players. The Bulldogs lost the finale 
to Southwest, 14-17.

Several players were recognized by the MIAA for their efforts during the season. First team 
honors on offense went to Hayes, Otte and senior Mike Yancey.

Defensive honors were given to McLeod and senior Roosevelt Goliday, and for the third time 
in a row, Hayes was named MIAA Player of the Year.

So the 1983 season is in the books. A disappointing season to be sure, but for those who are 
quick to point fingers and say that the season was a total loss and that the 1983 edition for 
the Bulldogs didn't live up to their expectations, perhaps the answer can be found in the words 
of Teddy Roosevelt. "It is not the critic that counts. Not the man who points out

Mascot makeover 
From the inside out, he is all new

The Bulldog mascot has a new look inside and out.

Junior Kirk Tjernagel is in his first year as the team mascot. "I try to spark enthusiasm. 
I don't try to take away from the game," said Tjernagel, a co-captain of the cheerleading 
squad.

He says he tries to keep the crowd involved, play with little kids and makes sure everyone 
has a good time. Tjernagel performs his antics in a new bulldog costume. It is similar to 
the old costume except for a slightly different headpiece design.

The crowds have responded well to Tjernagel. "You see a lot of laughter," he said. It is 
important to keep the crowd in the game, especially during the lulls in action, he said.

Tjernagel has been cheering for two years. He had no previous experience but is continually 
learning and teaching himself new moves. He said he would like to develop motions for the 
mascot that the audience could easily identify and associate with a specific meaning.

"I think the Bulldog is great for little kids," junior Marlene Nehring said. "It keeps them 
from being antsy. It's an ultimate thrill for them if he comes to talk to them."

Because Tjernagel serves as a link between players and spectators, he cannot be reserved. "I 
try to be as crazy as possible out there," he said. "People like that."

FRIENDLY BEASTS Bulldog mascot junior Kirk Tjernagel and the Central Missouri State University 
Mules' mascot Jeff Harris greet each other and clown around for the spectators at the 
homecoming game. A new mascot suit gave the Bulldog a fresh look.

One of his muscular arms held the small of her back, the other held her left ankle.

She arched her back, letting her hair fall, and stretched her pointed toe toward the rafters of 
Pershing Arena. Muscles were taut for ten seconds and as she jumped to the floor, bouncing, 
smiling and clapping, the crowd roared and cheered its approval.

This is but one of the acrobatic stunts showcased by the cheerleaders at athletic events. Having 
cheerleaders "helps keep the energy up. They help keep people yelling so the team knows that 
they aren't out there alone. They serve as entertainment when the game gets dead," junior Marlene 
Nehring, said.

This year's squad added a few changes to their bag of tricks to help keep fans enthusiastic and 
to support the Bulldogs. After a one-year trial, the cheerleading program switched from 
separate squads for football and basketball back to one squad for both seasons as it had been in 
the past. The separate squad arrangement required too much transition time in the middle of the year. 
"We had to start over too many times," senior co-captain Denise Johnston, said.

"I think that's (one squad) a better idea. It's easier to work with the same people," said 
freshman cheerleader Christine Coleman. "It's more consistent."

The size of the squad also changed. In the past there were 14 regularly performing members on 
the squad. Now the regular squad consists of

12 members -- six male and six female. Two alternate positions were created to provide 
trained replacements when regular members could not perform.

"We had problems with people not coming back after the summer, losing them to grades or 
various other reasons," Jane Davis, squad adviser, said. She said bringing new people in 
to learn the routines was hard on both the new people and the squad. "The whole squad 
starts from scratch when you start a new person," she said.

The alternates are required to attend all practices and know everything the other squad 
members know. They must be able to take any position on the squad if necessary. "The 
alternates are really the work-horses of the squad," Davis said.

Davis says the plan is working well. "We can be a little stricter," she said. Weight, 
strength and practice attendance requirements are easier to enforce. If a regular squad 
member is late or misses practice without an excuse, he or she can be replaced by an 
alternate. "They know they're not irreplaceable. We have two people waiting in the 
wings," Davis said.

Requirements for squad members include full-time student status, a maintained grade point 
average of 2.25 and mandatory summer camp attendance.

To help ensure the safety of all squad members, special weight and strength requirements are 
strictly enforced. Each member is responsible for his or her partner's safety. Davis said the 
125 pound weight maximum for women was a definite "safety factor. "It's not for cosmetic 
reasons at all," she said. The women are checked every week because a few extra pounds can be 
very noticeable and affect the entire squad in routines which require balance such as pyramids, 
Davis said.

For the first time the women's basketball team has their own cheerleading squad. Coach Tarry 
Parrish and former cheerleader junior Karen Turnbough organized the five member squad. 
"We're starting from scratch and working our way up," Turnbough said. Turnbough said Parrish, 
who is new to the women's team, is very enthusiastic, feels good about the team and wanted to help 
generate some support for them. Parrish said cheerleaders added a lot to women's games. "They get 
the fans involved," she said.

"We had one cheer that went well. The crowd was pretty quiet but they weren't used to us. 
Once we get used to each other, we'll be fine," freshman Jean Sackett, women's cheerleader.

BETWEEN CHEERS, cheerleaders freshmen Kelly Frier and Jean Sackett watch the action taking 
place on the court.

Former athletes honored with Fame for life
by MICHAEL TOMPKINS and KARMAN WITTRY

fame is an elusive, short-lived quality for most athletes. high school school careers 
are short-lived and soon forgotten. College careers are exciting but the four years of 
glory fade quickly. But for 13 former University athletes, memories of past glory came 
back during induction ceremonies of the charter members into the Athletic Hall of Fame.

The September induction and banquet ceremony served not only to honor the inductees, but 
to unite them as former comrades. They were recognized in pre-game activities at the home 
game against Northern Michigan.

The plaques presented to each inductee included the purpose of the award. "For achieving 
greatness in athletics; for building sportsmanship, character and competitive spirit; for 
elevating the team above self; and for being an example of those valuable and noble lessons 
of life that are so skillfully taught on the field of competition..."

The members were chosen by the selection committee for athletic accomplishments and 
successes.

Four former athletes were selected for their performances during the 1920's. James Chevalier 
lettered in football from 1924-1927. He was a second team All-MIAA end twice, as well as first 
all-conference selection in 1927. In 1927, he was also Bulldog team captain. After graduation, 
Chevalier continued his sports career as football coach at Moberly Junior College.

Levi Craig was also named twice to the All-MIAA football team. In 1927 he led the MIAA in 
scoring. Football was not his only area of accomplishment. In basketball, Craig was selected 
to the all-conference team in 1926-27 and was captain of that team. As a member of the track 
team, he set a state high jump record with a leap of 6-2. Craig's later athletic accomplishments 
included coaching at various high schools throughout Missouri.

Orval Craig lettered four years in football and basketball and earned all-conference honors 
three times in each sport. He was also an All-State, All-American end as well as captain of 
the 1928 All-MIAA football team.

William "Wirt" Downing played Bulldog football between 1926-30 and earned allconference 
recognition twice. During his 16 years as coach at East St. Louis (III.) High School, he 
compiled a 144-18-7 record. He also guided track teams to 15 conference and 17 district 
championships. In 1977 Downing was inducted into the Illinois Football Coach's Hall of Fame.

Four other former athletes from the 1930's were selected for the Hall of Fame. Carl Noble 
attended the University from 1932-36. He lettered four years in football and basketball and 
three in baseball. He was twice named to the All-Conference, All-State team. In 1935, he was 
All-American and received the Stickler Cup, which is awarded to a student athlete possessing 
the qualities of scholarship, citizenship and leadership. Noble's later career included being 
a member of the Bulldog staff.

Jack Robinson was also an All-State, All-American football player. He was a four-year letterman 
from 1931-34 and earned All-MIAA honors three times. In track, he competed as a weight event 
performer. Robinson's athletic career continued after graduation when he signed to play 
professional football for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He later played for the Chicago Cardinals 
and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In 1934, Arnold Embree served with Robinson as football co-captain. He, too, was an All-State 
selection and twice received All-American laurels. He was a four-year letter winner in football 
and received MIAA recognition all four years. Embree also participated in baseball for the 
Bulldogs. His later career included coaching at Missouri Military Academy Central High School 
in St. Joseph.

Frederick Schwengel was named All-MIAA tackle twice and was an All-American in 1930. As a 
four year leader on the track team, he participated in shot, discus, quarter mile run and 
the 22-yard dash. As captain of the team in 1930, Schwengel led the Bulldogs to their first MIAA 
championship. At the MIAA meet, he beat Olympic decathlon performer Vernon Kennedy. His later 
athletic career included coaching at Kirksville and Shelbina high schools.

Among the coaches who were inducted into the Hall of Fame was James Dougherty. As a 
student, he lettered four years in football between 1928-31. He also received letters 
in basketball and track as well as the Stickler Cup. His coaching career began as a 
graduate assistant for the Bulldog football team and continued at several Missouri 
high schools. He returned to coach Bulldog football from 1946-50, and in 1962 was 
appointed as the first full-time athletic director for the University. He held that 
position until 1974.

Don Faurot was football coach for nine seasons, beginning in 1926. During that time, his teams 
were MIAA champions seven times and compiled an overall record of 63-13-3. His final three years 
saw the start of a 27-game winning streak that extended into the 1935 season, a year after he left the 
University. Successful Bulldog basketball, track and baseball teams can also be added to the list 
of Faurot's accomplishments. After leaving the University, he served as an athletic director at 
the University of Missouri.

Kenneth Gardner is another Hall of Famer who has held both playing and coaching positions. He 
was an All-Conference football player in the 1940s, received All-American honors and was selected 
to play in the Missouri-Kansas All-Star game. He also received three letters for track. Upon 
graduation, Gardner coached at Marceline High School where his 1949 team was conference cochampion. In 
1951, he returned to his alma mater to serve as assistant coach for the football and basketball teams and 
as coach for cross-country and track. His track teams won 19 MIAA indoor championships and 15 
conference outdoor titles. Gardner advanced to his current position of athletic director in 1974.

Bulldog athletes-turned-coaches is Boyd King. He won 11 letters in football, 
basketball and baseball between 1932-36. After graduation, he coached at 
Pittsfield, III., and Hannibal. He served as assistant basketball coach at the 
University of North Carolina and as head coach at the U.S. Naval School in 
Norfolk, Va. during World War II. Afterwards, he was appointed head coach of 
Bulldog basketball and held that position for 25 years. King's teams compiled 
a cumulative record of 380-199 and were conference champions seven times. In 
1970-71, he was named District Coach of the Year by the National Association 
of Basketball Coaches. King was also named a recipient of a merit award for 
distinguished services from the NABC.

Maurice "Red" Wade attended the University of Missouri and the University of 
Tulsa in the early 1940s. During this time, he was an All-American. Wade coached 
football at Central High in St. Joseph before becoming the University's head 
football coach in 1951. His teams chalked a cumulative record of 99-41-2 and 
were MIAA champions eight times. His 1961 team won the Mineral Water Bowl Game 
in Excelsior Springs. This was the first time a Bulldog squad had appeared in 
post-season competition. Wade's 16-year tenure was the longest ever for any 
Bulldog football coach.

None of these men, who had dedicated large portions of their lives to athletics,

Young players, low pre-season rank offset by new talent as Stars Shine Amid Defeats
by STEVE HESTON

It took about three minutes for fans to discover what type of basketball the Bulldogs 
would play this season. Junior college transfer Milous Meadows, junior set the stage 
for excitement by picking off a pass in the Norwegian National game, cruising down 
court and slamdunking in his first two points as a Bulldog.

It took quite a bit longer for the Bulldogs to overcome the loss of four starters and 
their top reserve from the 1982-83 team that went 14-15 on their way to a fifth place 
finish in the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

In the pre-season meeting, league coaches picked the Bulldogs to finish dead last in 
the MIAA. Coach Willard Sims warned his peers not to take the team too lightly at the 
meeting, then lead his crew to a 80-74 upset win over the University of Missouri in 
their league opener at Rolla. The Bulldogs went 15-14 on their way to the MIAA fourth-
place playoff finish.

Sims said the pre-season selection was something he used to motivate his team early in 
the season. "I think being picked last paid off early and late in the tail end of the 
season," he said. "We were disappointed that we didn't finish higher than we did, but 
it was still good to make the playoffs."

Meadows was instrumental in the Bulldog's season, as we were two other junior college 
transfers, junior forwards Clay Burton and Greg Gordon.

While Meadows handled the excitement end of the season with his fancy style, senior Mark 
Campbell played the role of "old reliable" most of the season.

"Mark and Milous really were our leaders," Sims said. "With Mark being a senior, he took 
charge when we needed it. We didn't really consider him a scorer, but he scored well for 
us, and he did a good job of moving the ball for us and getting some clutchbaskets.

Campbell closed out a successful bulldog career by averaging 13 points in his final (1100) 
for his carrer), and compiling a four-year total of 520 assists.

concerning his final season as a bulldog, campbell said, "I wanted to go out a little bit 
better than we did, but it helped for next year that these guys got together to play."

"I'm happy I came here and got to play; Coach Sims showed a lot of confidence in me," 
Campbell said. "I'm glad I got to go somewhere where they're concerned with academics, 
which will help me out in the future."

A victory at home over SEM-SU and two big wins over UMR paved the way to the fourth place
spot in the league and a berth in the MIAA post-season tournament. The league opener was 
in Rolla, and it was followed by an upset of SEMSU in Pershing Arena that put the Bulldogs 
at 2-0 in the league. Eyebrows began raising around the MIAA at that point, and Sims didn't 
mind a bit.

"When we beat Rolla and Cape early, I'm sure there was some concern among other coaches, 
and at the tail end of the season, too, when we had a chance to finish third," Sims said.

While the headliners were Meadows, Campbell, Gordon and Burton, there were some encouraging 
signs of development inside for the Bulldogs, in the form of freshmen center Erik Hansen and 
junior center forward Warren Halverson.

Hansen spent much of the first half of the season recovering from the mental effects of a 
virus that kept him out his entire first year. He had a strong second half of the season to 
give the Bulldogs some muscle on the boards.

Halverson had been somewhat disappointing in his first two years on campus. the 6'6" star 
out of van buren (iowa) high school was touted as one of the best talents recruited here since 
the winslow/wesley days of the late '70s.

Halverson said although he didn't play well at the beginning of the season, he began reaching his 
potential after christmas. "i spent time working on thinkgs the team needed and it all came

together."

The season was one of inconsistency for the team, Halverson said. "When we played 
well, we played really well, and when we didn't, we really didn't. (But) I thought 
we were comparable to everyone we played."

The Bulldogs drew the dubious assignment of trying to knock off CMSU (who eventually 
landed in the final eight teams in the country) in Warrensburg in the opening round 
of the play offs, and despite a brilliant career-ending effort by Campbell, the regular 
season closed with the Bulldogs losing 70-57. Sims, however, has reason to be excited 
about the next year's season. Four starters return and Sims has newcomer Jerry Puryear 
raring to go.

"We'll be okay next year, but Central and Northwest have a lot of people coming back, 
too," Sims said. "We're looking for a point guard and a couple of big guys for next 
year now."

"Other conference teams gave us a lot of respect," Meadows said. "We can play with the 
good teams when we want to, but you have to be ready to play 40 minutes of ball and lots 
of times we only played about 30. We need to have eight players that can flat out play."

Disappointing record hides near wins, but provides players with Lessons on court action 
by MIKE CUNNINGHAM

After what Coach Tarry Parrish called "a learning situation," the Bulldog women's 
basketball team looks optimistically to next year.

Parrish finished her first season as women's head basketball coach with a disappointing 
5-20 overall record and a last place 1-11 finish in the Missouri intercollegiate Athletic 
Association.

"We lost a lot of ballgames, but we didn't lose by a large margin. We lost a lot of 
ballgames by three points, by five points, by ten points. I don't think the record 
really shows the competition we were able to play at the end of the year," Parrish 
said. "We made remarkable progress, but it doesn't show that in the record."

At one point during the season, the Bulldogs were 5-6 but were winless in their last 14 
outings. Freshman Jackie Thornburg said, "We got into a losing slump and it was hard to 
get out of it."

Thornburg said youth also hampered the team. "We had a really young team, but we started 
playing better as a team as the year went by. Every game we got better."

Parrish said the play of freshmen Tami Billerbeck and Thornburg were bright spots of the 
Bulldogs. "Jackie and Tami progressed well during the season. I expect them to do good 
things for NMSC! in the future." 

Several times during the season the team was close to winning games, but couldn't seem to get 
the bucket at the crucial time. "I think we just got a little bit scared when we saw that we 
were close and when we needed to stick the ball in the hole we were taking good shots. They 
just didn't fall."

The leading scorer and re-bounder for the women was Suzie Miller, a 6-0 junior who posted 
a 12.8 point average and an 8.5 rebound mark.

Guard Angie Brown, a four year veteran, finished her career with 465 points, 285 assists 
and 312 rebounds. She played in 93 career games.

Returning next year are juniors Mary Allan, Smith, Lori Janes and Miller; sophomores Karla 
Ponder, Carey Boleach and freshmen Jeannette Cleven, Lucia Brown, Thornburg and Billerbeck.

Parrish said she will be recruiting for a point guard, among others. "We are looking both 
at the junior college and at the high school level," she said. "I look for skill, the 
outside shooting and the ball handling, as well as the aggressiveness. Next year we want 
to be a more aggressive team."

"We need four or five good kids, who will be able to step right in and play, making the 
others work harder," Parrish said.

"Our definite goal is to compete in the MIAA. I felt we competed this year. It didn't show 
we competed in the win-loss column," she said.

Thornburg, looking optimistically to next season, said, "We have a year under our belts
playing together and Coach Parrish has another year's experience."

Winning records, national qualifiers are part of the success that is only
by CHRIS

Winning seasons and firsts for national qualifiers highlighted the men's and women's swim 
teams this season.

"I got pretty much what I wanted out of the season," Mark Mullin, head coach, said. "Both 
teams had winning records, we set numerous team records throughout the season, and we 
qualified several individuals for nationals." This was Mullin's third year as head coach.

The men's team, with a 5-3 dual mark and a first place finish in the Toilet Bowl Relays, 
qualified senior Matt Foss for the NCAA Division II Nationat Meet at Hofstra University 
(Long Island, N.Y.). Bulldog divers have competed in previous NCAA meets, but Foss was the 
first male swimmer to qualify for the national meet. His time of 1:45.71 in the 200-yard 
freestyle earned him 28th place.

"It was great, because it (nationals) was my goal for two years," Foss said. "I don't think 
I would've made nationals if I hadn't had good people to swim against in practice."

The women's team had a dual record of 8-1, losing only to Western Illinois University (Macomb), 
a Division I school, and placed first in the Toilet Bowl, Pioneer and Miracle Relays. In 
addition, sophomore Lori Cline and freshman Sherri

Haas and Shelly Kester qualified for the national meet.

Haas and Kester were the first female divers to qualify for nationals. Hass finished 
33rd in the 1-meter and 28th in the 3-meter event, behind Kester, who was 23rd.

Kester said of the national meet, "I was petrified ... the divers were excellent."

Kester said her goal for next year is to qualify for nationals on both boards and perhaps 
make all-American. She has only been diving for a year.

This was Cline's second trip to the NCAA, where she just missed all-American honors with 
her 15th place finish in the 200-yard butterfly. (The top 12 are all-American recipients). 
Her time of 2:11.97 was also a new school record. Cline also participated in the 100-yard 
butterfly and finished 32nd with a time of 1:10.43.

Five school records were set by the men's team. The 400-yard medley relay team of freshmen 
Rob Ring and Shawn LePorte and sophomores Matt Winger and Curt Wehrman bettered the 
1981 record with a time of 3:50.31. Foss set records in the 200-yard freestyle (1:44.38), 
500-yard freestyle (4:46.19) and 1000-yard freestyle (10:23.5). Winter erased last year's 
mark of :59.00 in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of :57.23.

Women's records in the freestyle were set by freshman Colette Salm in the 50-yard with a time 
of :26.10 and junior Kim Green in the 200 (2:00.4) and 500-yard (5:15.1). In the butterfly, 
Cline clocked 1:00.68 in the 100-yard and 2:11.97 in the 200-yard. In the individual medley, 
freshman Jodi Wilson set a record in the 200-yard with a time of 2:17.44 and Cline, in the 
400-yard, had a time of 4:49.96.

Records were set in all women's free relay events. In the 200-yard, the team of freshman Cheryl 
Hunter, junior Dee McClarnan, Salm and Green clocked 1:46.17. The 400-yard team of Green, 
Hunter, Salm and Wilson had a time of 3:48.84. In the 800-yard, Cline, Green, Hunter and Wilson had a 
time of 8:09.7

Mullin said his goals for next year include sending more people to nationals, breaking as many 
team records as possible and continuing to have winning seasons. He said he would like to bring 
the numbers up on the men's team by heavy recuritment.

"I've enjoyed this team more than any other team I've had. I think because they seemed to be 
harder workers and more serious about the sport," Mullin said. "It was a team that had an 
outstanding personality and accomplished a lot throughout the season. A number of individuals 
just made outstanding improvements. We had a really good end of the season, with a lot of 
drops in times. It's very encouraging to have these people coming back next year to compete 
again for us, because I think they're going to be better than they ever were," he said,

Best season since 1980 Squad succeeds despite trials of Wrestling 
by TRACY

To some, the wrestling squad didn't seem to have much going for it. But despite 
their youth and lack of wrestlers, the Bulldogs finished with the best dual 
record since 1980.

The Bulldogs ended with a 6-11 dual record, fourth place at the Missouri Intercollegiate 
Athletic Association Championships, and a sixth place finish at the National Collegiate 
Athletic Association Division II Midwest Regional meet.

"I didn't think we'd win many meets, but it turned out to be one of the best seasons since 
1980," sophomore Roger Osweiler said.

Although their season developed successfully, the Bulldogs went into a two month slump 
beginning with their first competition of the season. The Drake University (Des Moines), 
Iowa Relay Festival began their record of 1-4. "It kind of put a damper on the season," 
Don Frazier, assistant coach, said.

Those in a bad starting position, but Dave Harms, head coach, said the schools competing 
at the tournament were tough. "It (losing at Drake) kind of put us behind the eight ball. 
I didn't feel bad because the teams were either in the class above us or ranked in our 
class."

The Bulldogs wrestled top competition most of the season. They finished second at the 
Monmouth (Illinois) Invitational behind Augustana College (Rock Island, Illinois), who 
was ranked first in NCAA Division III. "All in all I thought we wrestled really tough 
competition all year long," Harms said.

A problem that plagues many wrestling squads is injuries. But a main setback for the 
Bulldogs was a lack of wrestlers. Nine wrestlers competed during the main part of the 
season; ten men composing an entire team. "Anytime you've only got nine wrestlers it 
makes workouts hard because you wrestle the same people and do the same moves. There's 
no variety," Frazier said.

Junior Jerry Becker, who competed at the regional meet, also thought the lack of wrestlers 
hurt during practices. "At the end of the season, everyone was dreading practice because 
we always wrestled the same guys."

Harms thought the Bulldogs wrestled inconsistently throughout the season. "The inconsistency 
is what killed us. They've got to start believing they can beat someone regardless of their 
record."

Four Bulldog wrestlers competed at the Regional meet. Osweiler at 118 pounds, junior Guy 
Frazier at 190 pounds and senior Mike Yancey at heavyweight each captured third place titles.

Becker competed at regionals but did not place. He broke the university record for the most 
point in a single match with 37 at Simpson College (Indianola, Iowa).

The Bulldogs lose only one wrestler, senior captain Duane Brucker, and look forward to a 
successful 1984-1985 season. "If we can keep continuity in the program between the coaches 
and the wrestlers, we'll do pretty good," Harms said. "We're starting our third year together 
and that will be a big plus."

"Last year, it was like . . . close, but no cigar. This year we were a lot more 
serious." The words of sophomore setter Julie Canull, as she compared the 1982 
volleyball season of 5-24 to this year's 30-15-7 and the University record for 
most wins in a single season, sum up the sentiment shared by those participating 
in the	1983 volleyball program. "Experience and maturity helped this season over 
 last," senior hitter Tracy Ivanesky said.

The Bulldogs chalked up victories that proved threatening to the Missouri Intercollegiate 
Athletic Association conference title. Winning their own Parent's Day tournament they 
placed no less than 3rd in the other four tournaments in which they competed.

With a year under her belt, coach Sue Rubesh said she saw the need for a more disciplined 
training program and wasted no time in trying out her new game plan. "The first week of 
practice made a big difference," Rubesh said. "It was hard. We had three practices a day."

"I think she (Rubesh) put more confidence in us as players by setting high standards 
of achievement," Ivanesky said. "We played a higher caliber of ball this year." 

"It was basically the same team out there this year," junior all-around Karin Keeney 
said. "We have talent, but there were times when we were out-talented and had to work 
together as a team."

The high points for the team came at season's end. "The biggest highlight was when we 
played Southeast (Missouri State University-Cape

Giardeau) Friday and Saturday at the conference championships," Rubesh said. "Friday was 
the best we played all year. The girls had been working for conference, and they finally 
put it together when it really mattered."

Despite their effort and early season victories over CMSU, the Bulldogs ended with second 
place in the MIAA Conference Championships which were held in Pershing Arena.

Rubesh said beginning the season with winning ways contributed to future successes. "We 
started off winning and that made the team see that we weren't an easy win. In conference, 
we beat Central and that made the other teams look at us."

Ivanesky said, "She (Rubesh) asked a lot from us and when we knew we could do it, we asked 
more of ourselves." Rubesh allowed players to incorporate their own techniques with her 
approval, Ivanesky said.

Several individuals gained honors during the Bulldogs' comeback year. Junior all around 
Maggie Egofske, Keeney, and Ivanesky were each selected as MIAA Player of the Week. Chosen 
to the first conference team was Ivanesky, and Egofske and Canull were chosen to the second 
all-conference team. Ivanesky was chosen the Bulldog's Most Valuable Player at season's end.

"It's good to go out on a good note, to do well as a team and personally," Ivanesky said. 
Ivanesky was also nominated for All-American honors.

There is an evident cycle in past volleyball seasons -- good year, bad year, good year ... 
But optimism reigns over the staff and players. "We're only losing one person (Ivanesky)," 
Rubesh said. "You can't replace Tracy, but I think it looks good for next season. And, I 
have another year of experience behind me."

The prospects for next year's edition of the Bulldog volleyball team look good especially 
because of the experience of the returning players and the competence of the younger team 
members, Ivanesky said.

Keeney also sees a bright future for the Bulldogs. "With a couple of recruits and the experience 
we have, we should be strong next year.

Encouraging wins put teams on The track of improvement 
By TRACY DREESSEN

Improvement became a main force within the men's outdoor and indoor track seasons 
during the Spring.

Six bulldog runners competed at the National Collegiate Athletic Association outdoor 
meet in 1983, placing the team 24th out of 60 teams. The Bulldogs also placed third 
in the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association outdoor meet.

"The key in any sport is the willingness to work," men's coach Ed Schneider said. 
"Overall the team kept working hard and competing hard. As the season went on, they 
kept getting better and stronger."

Competitors at the NCAA outdoor meet, held at Southeast Missouri State University 
(Cape Girardeau), included all-American senior Freddy Thompson in the triple jump. 
Thompson finished fifth with an effort of 51-6.5. Senior Darren Blair finished eighth 
in the triple jump with 50-8.75. Blair also took the MIAA Conference title in the triple 
jump with an effort of 50-6.25.

Another Bulldog competition at Nationals and an MIAA champion was senior Alec Meinke, 
who placed seventh in the shot put at nationals with a throw of 58.5 His MIAA 
championship throw was 56-9.5

Sophomore Trent Cuthbert competed in the 100-meter dash at the National meet, placing 
ninth in the steeplechase at national, but did not place. Senior Todd Arnold was a 
nonplacing competitor at nationals in the 5,000-meter run for the bulldogs.

Although they didn't finish high in the MIAA, Arnold thought the outdoor season was a 
good one for the Bulldogs. "We didn't have a powerful team, but we were pretty 
respectable. We had some good performances."

The Bulldogs kept their third place finish in the 1984 Indoor MIAA Championships, behind 
Southeast and Northwest Missouri State Missouri University (Maryville).

"We did quite a bit better than I had hoped," Schneider said. "For the most part it was our 
best team effort of the season. We competed as well as we could have on that particular day."

Many Bulldogs had their best performance of the season at the MIAA indoor meet and 
Schneider said that added up to the points they needed for their success. "We scored 
more at conference than I thought we were capable of. We scored in every event. A lot 
of them had their best performance or were close to their best."

Schneider himself was among the award winners for the 1984 indoor season, being named 
MIAA Track Coach of the Year. Thompson was named MIAA Track Athlete of the Week for his 
performance at the University of Northern Iowa (Cedar Falls) open Meet in the triple jump. 
Freshman Bill Dorsam set a school indoor record in the 60-yard high hurdles with a time of 7.26.

Sophomore Tim Brown thought the Bulldog's indoor season went well, but thinks there was a 
lack of field event strength. "Everybody did good, only we weren't strong as a team. We didn't really 
have the field event people this year, which hurt us pointwise."

After a slow start during the 1983 indoor season, the women's 1983 outdoor season surprised 
the team and the MIAA by taking the Conference championship.

"It kind of came as a shock," senior Marlene Frahm said. "It came down to the last race. We 
had to win that to win the meet."

And they did just that. The final event was the mile relay, composed of seniors Nancy Witte 
and Jenifer Rumley, junior Jill Bonnstetter and sophomore Teri Gipple. "Everyone is supposed 
to peak at conference; everybody tries a little harder then," Frahm said.

Along with their conference title, the women set thirteen individual and relay records during 
the 1983 outdoor season. Included in the record holders were Frahm in the shot put, javelin 
and discus and senior Cindy Trickey in the 3,000-meter run adn the 5,000-meter run.

The women also competed in seven events at the NCAA National Outdoor Meet, placeing 45th 
overall. Junior Dorothy Copper placed tenth in the shot put, in front of Frahm who placed 
12th. Frahm also competed in the discus and javelin, but did not place in either event.

Trickey placed 16th in the 10,000-meter run for the Bulldogs at nationals, while senior 
Linda Mericle placed ninth in the 400-meter hurdles. Mericle also competed in the 100-meter 
hurdles, but did not place. Other place finishers for the women at Nationals included the 
4x100-meter relay, composed of Witte, senior Myrna Moore, Mericle and junior Libbi Chezum, 
which placed 13th.

Moore competed at nationals but did not place in her events, the 100-meter hurdles and the 
long jump. Junior Lisa Moats also competed in the long jump, but did not place.

Women's coach John Cochrane says the low placing at nationals was due to the women's 
emotional high at the conference meet. "It was the first year we had really gotten it 
together outdoors. We weren't really prepared to go to nationals," he said.

Cochrane was named MIAA Coach of the Year for the 1983 season, and was named the 1982-83 
Women's Coach of the Year by the Missouri Track and Cross Country Coaches Associations for 
Division I, II and III colleges.

The strength for the women returned during 1984 indoor season, with eleven women returning. 
They placed second in the MIAA Indoor Conference Meet, and qualified three women for the NCAA 
Outdoor Meet.

Cochrane said the conference meet was a success. "We were a strong, strong second. I really 
felt we had a chance to win. I'm satisfied because we had a good meet and everyone ran well."

With returning lettermen, good marks

Come out ahead

On paper, they were good. On the course, they proved to be even better.

The men's cross country team, with all its 1982 lettermen returning, won its first Missouri 
Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship since 1968. The Bulldogs placed third at 
the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II Great Lakes Regional meet, 
qualifying the team for the NCAA national meet, where they took 17th place.

"I think we had an excellent season. It was a great group to work with and one of the best 
since cross country was started here (in 1957)," coach Ed Schneider said. "The guys improved 
tremendously, and many of them had their personal best times this season."

Although the men made it to nationals, illness and a time spread during their last two meets 
hurt performance. "We'd been going so long. It (the season) was the longest any of us had 
ever seen. We really didn't know how to train for those couple extra weeks," senior Bryan 
Trickey said.

Bulldogs completing their eligibility include seniors Todd Arnold, Bryan Trickey and Tommy 
Hill. "They work hard, and by seeing them, the rest of us want to work harder. They're the 
kind of guys who don't have to say much to be leaders," sophomore Ron Barnett said.

A disappointing aspect of nationals for the men was their placement. They expected to finish 
in the top five. "When we went into the race we knew we should finish about fifth," Arnold 
said. "We had beaten Southeast Missouri (State University -- Cape Girardeau) twice, at 
conference and regionals, and they got seventh. We should have placed around them."

The women's cross country team also finished its season with good marks. They finished third 
in the MIAA and fourth in the NCAA Division II Regionals. "We had the best group of finishes 
we'd ever won. We ran well as a team," coach John Cochrane said. "Unfortunately, we didn't 
run well in our last

in the long run

two meets (conference and regionals) which were the ones that really counted."

The women found when they returned from regionals that they had been ranked 11th in 
the national poll. A third place finish in the regional meet would have given them a 
good chance for a bid to nationals.

"We did very well in all of our meets. When we got up to regionals, that's when the 
competition just got tougher," freshman Kristin Schurter said.

Although the women are losing two of their top two runners, seniors Cindy Trickey and 
Vicki Kijewski, the outlook for 1984 looks favorable.

"Everyone improved immensely this season, and if we can recruit some quality people, 
we should be very competitive again next season," Cochrane said.

The men's team also looks forward to favorable prospects for 1984. Schneider said, 
"They've had a taste of success, and hopefully that'll motivate them to remain the 
hardworking group they've been."

Encouraged by enthusiastic fans, soccer players upset UMSL and become a Championship 
team at the final
by TRACY DREESSEN

The silence was thick. The little conversation heard in the locker room was quiet. They 
knew there was a crowd waiting, a big crowd. They came down the hallway and out onto the 
lighted field. Then the game began.

Soccer coach John Guffey was glad to see impartial referees on the field. As they played, 
the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) team was surprised. "They thought we were just 
another team they were going to walk all over," Guffey said. But the Bulldogs were ready.

UMSL hadn't been defeated by a Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association team in three 
consecutive seasons. When the final whistle blew after a 110-minute game with overtime, the 
score was Bulldogs -- 3, UMSL -- 2.

"We decided it didn't matter what had happened before this season. This was the only game 
that counted," Guffey said. This sentiment was echoed throughout the team. "We had been 
defeated by UMSL for three years. To beat them was something else," senior Alex Ajraz said.

At the UMSL game, played in St. Louis, the Bulldog's crowd, which was larger than UMSL's, 
was larger than at any home game. "The fans were screamin' and yellin'," freshman Jeff 
Babb said.

The UMSL game brought the Bulldogs out of a five game slump. "It (winning against UMSL) 
turned our whole season around. After that our season went 8-1-1. It was nice," junior Dan Hogan said. 
The Bulldogs finished their fourth varsity season with a 10-6-2 record and a tie for first place 
in the MIAA conference with UMSL. After the win against UMSL, the Bulldogs scored 23 goals 
while allowing only seven.

After leading the Bulldogs to a co-championship in the conference, Guffey was selected as the 
National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II Midwest Region Coach of the Year for the 
second consecutive season. "The honor is a tribute to the players and their hard work. They 
were very coachable, and when you have a good group that's willing to work, coaching is much more 
satisfying," Guffey said. He was also selected as the MIAA Conference Coach of the year for 
the second year in a row.

Tied in the MIAA for most overall points was freshman Steve Schlichtig. Schlichtig was also 
included among the Four Bulldogs named MIAA Players of the Week. The four included Schlichtig, 
senior Greg LaVallee, sophomore Stan Dippel and sophomore Dan Basler. Dippel was also selected 
as Bulldog's Soccer Player of the Year.

Because of their conference tie with UMSL, the Bulldogs had a chance at a spot in national 
competition, but lost the bid to UMSL. "We found out the day before that they (national 
selection committee) were considering us to go, but they didn't call. It was a let down, 
but it was neat to get that far," Basler said.

"These guys were trying to go nationals," Guffey said. "Now they know what it's like to 
almost make it."

After a winning season, Guffey will not return to coach the

"Our schedule was one of the best in the country. We have gained respect in the Midwest for 
soccer,'' he said

Not playing as a varsity team doesn't hinder 
by HEATHER BRUCE

When most women participate in a collegiate sport, one of their individual goals is 
often attaining a varsity letter. This is not the case for women who play soccer. 
None of them will receive a letter. Not because they are not good enough, but because 
letters are only given to varsity athletes.

The University does not fund a women's varsity soccer team, but that has not stopped 
women who have organized NMSU's Women's Soccer Club.

"We've been working on a women's soccer team since they (the University) dropped women's 
field hockey in the spring of '82," senior player Sara Bjerk said.

"We had 36 women at the initial organizational meeting this fall. Now we have 20 to 23 
girls that are really committed and practice six to eight hours a week," Bjerk said.

That commitment led to competition outside the University. "We've traveled to UMSL 
(University of Missouri -- St. Louis), and we're going to Northwest (Missouri State 
University). We're also trying for Luther College (Decorah, Iowa) and K.U. (University 
of Kansas Lawrence), coach senior Lori Berquam, said.

The season spans from mid-September through November, Berquam said, "We will be a team 
in intramurals in November."

Women's kick at soccer

The women show their determination through practicing, playing games and frequently 
visiting Kenneth Gardner, athletic director. "Sara has been very persistent," Gardner 
said, regarding Bjerk's meetings with him on creating a University sponsored women's 
soccer team. "I'm trying to help them," Gardner said. "They've (the team) invited me 
to their club soccer matches. I'm trying to at least help out with transportation."

Transportation is one of the many problems prohibiting University sponsorship. 
"Where I'm going to have problems is in the cost," Gardner said. The athletic 
budget is decided on each spring for the next academic year, he said.

Costs that would be incurred include the hiring of a coach (since no faculty member 
has shown interest), equipment and traveling expenses. "I can't take money from 
another program," Gardner explained.

"When I go to the administration with the idea, they say, 'What will the program do 
for NMSU? Will it bring students?' And right now, women's soccer is just beginning 
to spread to the smaller communities," Gardner said.

The lack of a conference for women's soccer is the source of another problem. The only 
Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) conference women's soccer teams 
are the University of Missouri -- Rolla and the University of Missouri -- St. Louis. 
Unfortunately, it takes four of the seven MIAA schools to create a conference, Gardner 
said. "What I fear is trying to get a decent schedule. It would be better if we had a 
conference. It ignites interest." 

Though the picture may seem bleak, Gardner does express an optimistic view. "I think 
it'll (women's soccer) be the next sport we add. I would hope we could start it next 
year, in the fall of 1984."

Gardner sees women's soccer as being a beneficial addition to the University's athletic 
program. "If soccer has been so good for men, why wouldn't it be good for women? Men's 
soccer has done so well; they could play double-headers together."

Despite the lack of a paid coach, their own equipment, and traveling expenses, the women 
seem to maintain a positive attitude. "It (the future of the team) looks the best it ever 
has," Bjerk said. Cooperation from team members as well as outside sources kept them going, 
she said.

One of those men who helped is freshman Mark Murphy, who joined the NMSU soccer team 
this season. A native of England and active in soccer at home, Murphy thinks women's 
soccer is a good idea.

"If there is enough enthusiasm between the girls, which there is, and they want to play, 
that's good enough reason to start a program," Murphy said.

"The sport (soccer) is taking off here in America. If there is a boy's program, there 
should be one for girls," Murphy said.

Whatever the outcome, Bjerk said "Even if we don't get a varsity team, we will probably 
still play organized games.

By showing such tenacity to the sport, it doesn't look like the lack of varsity letters 
will stand in the way of NMSU Women's Soccer Club.

MOVEMENT DOWNFIELD brings junior Becky Mitchell closer to the goal. The women practiced 
six to eight hours a week.

Prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries

Turn the training wheels 
by KEITH GREENWOOD

for 87 years the University has had intercollegiate athletics.

Since just before the fall semester, the University has had a nationally certified 
athletic trainer.

Rex Sharp is the first nationally certified trainer on the staff since intercollegiate 
sports started in 1897 with the Kirksville Normal School baseball team playing the team 
from the American College of Osteopathy (now the Kirksville College of Osteopathic 
Medicine). Until his appointment last August students and coaches had taken care of 
the various training duties. Head baseball coach Sam Nugent had been the trainer for 
the last 22 years.

There are no regulations requiring schools to have certified trainers on the staff, but 
Ken Gardner, athletic director, started requesting a trainer in 1974. "I thought we were 
very liable," he said. A lack of money and other budget requests kept that request from 
becoming a reality until last summer.

"There was a lot of work to do when I first started. The administration has been very 
cooperative so far, but it's just a start," Sharp said. Many aspects of athletic training 
had been ignored before he got here, Sharp said. In the past, the training consisted mostly 
of taping an injury and trying to get the athlete back into action as soon as possible. Sharp 
said there are three parts to training. "First is to prevent injuries by making up padding, 
taping, etc. Second is the treatment of injuries. You want to get the athlete back quickly 
and strong. Third is rehabilitation to make the injured area as strong or stronger than 
before."

Sharp arrived on campus August 1 and got the chance to put his skills to use immediately. 
He said he did about 1100 treatments in the first two weeks.

"This year has been a rare year," Sharp said. "We've had six knee operations in football. 
That's very unusual. The most common injuries are muscle strains and there were several 
shoulder separations."

Sharp said a lot of injuries occurred in the early preseason because athletes didn't stay 
in shape over the summer.

Certification still does not allow a trainer to medically treat an injury. Legally, all a 
certified trainer can do is evaluate the injury to determine how serious it is and then 
recommend what kind of treatment should be sought. Treatment could range from a visit to 
the family doctor to going to an emergency room.

However, certification requires a knowledge of various parts of the body and what kinds of 
exercises to use in treatment and rehabilitation of injured area to rebuild strength. Because 
of his knowledge, Sharp is able to develop specific exercise programs for specific athletes 
and injuries.

Sharp was also hired to train athletes and teach student trainers. He has the time to spend 
with individual athletes that Nugent did not have because of other duties. Those two factors 
combined have made athletes and coaches very happy with Sharp.

Junior Darryl Levy injured his knee playing football. "He (Sharp) took really good care of me. 
Right away he had me on treatment and I was back before I thought I would be," Levy said.

Senior Theresa Myers works with Sharp as a student trainer. "There is a big difference because 
Rex has time to devote to all sports and give individuals emphasis."

"We had a couple of cross country runners this fall who got hurt and he managed to keep them 
right on training," John Cochrane, women's track coach, said. Cochrane said Nugent did a good 
job but had too many duties as a trainer and coach to be able to set up programs and give 
athletes individual supervision the way Sharp can. "It's nice to have somebody there that's 
fulltime," Cochrane said.

As a result of having a certified trainer on the staff, Gardner and Sharp both want to see a 
program that will eventually produce athletic trainers. Gardner, however, doesn't think the 
trainers would be certified. "They'll have to log a lot of time to go through that. We hope 
to have a course here eventually where we can put out trainers," Gardner said.

Sharp has a different goal for a trainer education program here. "I want to start a first-rate 
program within two years," Sharp said. The University now has the capabilities to turn out 
trainers in an internship program. To be certified in that kind of program, a potential trainer 
has to take classes and log 1800 hours of training work under the supervision of a certified 
trainer. Once hours are completed the student trainer is eligible to take a two-part national 
examination in order to be certified by the National Athletic Trainer's Association. The first 
part is a written test. The second part is a practical test which requires the student to 
actually demonstrate competency in evaluating injuries and taping.

If a program is set up to certify trainers, the NATA only requires 800 hours of training work 
for certification. "Right now we have to educate interested people about what classes to take 
and the sequence to take them in," Sharp said

'Slammers' slip at key moments

At one time, the "Slammers of Sam" had hopes for a conference championship. But as the 
Bulldogs progressed through their season, chances at the conference title began to look grim.

One of the main problems of the 1983 season was losing leads late in the game. The Bulldogs 
lost seven games by one run. Getting key runs during final innings was another weak spot. "Many of 
the guys compiled good stats, but at key moments in those games we just couldn't come up with 
the big hit," junior Rick Resh said.

"We just kind of fell apart under pressure. We didn't play to our potential," sophomore Steve 
Riley said.

For their spring trip, the Bulldogs traveled to Texas for a 10-day series of 12 games. Although 
they posted a 5-7 tour record, Coach Sam Nugent, instructor of physical education, said the men 
improved with each game. "We had a good trip. By the end of the stay our hitting, pitching, and 
fielding had improved. We left Texas as an improved ballclub," Nugent said.

Highlighting the season was the Iowa State University doubleheader. The Bulldogs traveled to 
Iowa and swept two games from the Cyclones. "We hit home runs, had timely hitting, and pitching 
was on top. We also had some outstanding defensive plays. We did have it all together," junior Bob 
Coons said.

Resh was an outstanding player for the Bulldogs, breaking 10 existing records and tying three. 
Resh's single season records include most runs scored, most runs batted in, most home runs, 
most total bases, most at bats, most games played, and highest slugging average. Resh broke one 
single game record for the most hits with five. Resh's career records include most home runs, most 
RBI's, most total bases, and most runs scored.

Resh was the unanimous choice for the 1983 Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association team 
and was selected to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II All-Midwest Region 
Second Team along with senior Randy Mikel. Mikel was picked Most Valuable Player and Outstanding 
Senior by his teammates. Mikel made just three errors in 33 games, giving him a fielding average of 
.978. Senior Todd Burns was voted 1983 Most Inspirational Player by his teammates.

Although the 1983 season was bleak for the Bulldogs, Nugent feels they have a strong offense 
for 1984. "I think we'll be short on pitching but defense and offense should improve from last year 
with offense being our strong point," Nugent said,

Early predictions fail for women's softball, Season of hard work falls short of

The 1983 Bulldog softball team closed its season without gaining a spot in the top 
four teams at the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division II Championships, 
but after two consecutive fourth place finishes, they remained strong in defense and 
had a solid season.

"Although we were disappointed that we didn't advance to the final four of the national 
tournament for the third straight time, we nevertheless had a good season," Mary Jo Murray, 
softball coach, said.

In order to qualify for the tournament, the team has to be ranked in the top ten of the 
division. The Bulldogs were ranked seventh in pre-season polls, and with a 1982 season 
record of 24-10 and a high finish in the NCAA finals, they were considered a major threat 
within the division.

Carol McFee, senior outfielder, was named to the first team of the 1983 NCAA Division II 
All-American women's softball team. Renee Harper, junior catcher, and Brenda Jefferson, 
freshman pitch-er, were second team All-Americans. Harper was also chosen Most Valuable 
Player in the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association for the 1983 season.

Jefferson was the toughest pitcher, Murray said. Jefferson was selected to the 1983 
All-MIAA team after recording a 10-3 mark and a 0.38 earned run average in 81.3 innings. 
Junior Jennifer Wagner helped the pitching effort with a 7-3 record and a 0.97 ERA.

Freshman Trish Kongable led the mound staff in strikeouts with 76 in approximately 58 
innings. She posted a 1.17 ERA. Senior Joan Allison trailed Kongable with a 3-1 record 
and an ERA of 1.25.

The Bulldog offense charted a .269 team batting average, up from their 1982 mark of .245. 
Four batters hit above a .280: Harper (.368), McFee (.342), senior Hilda Haring (.298), 
and senior Holly Shipman (.292). Bulldog gloves racked up a .967 average, with sophomore 
Kristy Johnson fielding a perfect 1.000.

Home games for Bulldogs were rare during previous seasons because the field was in such poor 
condition. The team could not host tournaments because the old field did not meet tournament 
requirements.

"We had the option of hosting the conference championships this year, but Coach Gardner 
(Athletic Director Kenneth Gardner) turned it down, Mcfee said. "If the field was farther 
along we might have been able to have it (the conference championships) this year."

Consistency and teamwork led the Bulldogs to the 1983 Division II playoffs, but a lack

of consistency failed to get them placed. ''I thought the 1983 team was my best 
at Northeast. Until the regional, we didn't experience a slump at any time during 
the season, But we just couldn't score runs in the regional," Murray said. The 
Bulldogs lost two successive 0-1 games to Northwest Missouri State and Stephen 
F. Austin College and were eliminated.

Had it not been for one incident, the Bulldogs might have placed higher than third 
in the Missouri Western Tournament. The team forfeited the game against Kearney 
when Murray walked on the field to question a possible interference call on a 
Kearney base runner in the third inning. When Murray failed to leave the field 
after a warning, an umpire threw her out of the game.

"I couldn't believe it when he said the game would be forfeited," she said.

Murray did not return to coach the Lady Bulldogs this year. She accepted a position 
at Northeast Louisiana University (MONROE) to coach volleyball and softball.

Murray's replacement is Tarry Parrish from Kirkwood Community College (Cedar Rapids, 
Iowa). Parrish coached the Kirkwood women's softball team to a 19-19 record and a 
fourth place finish in the National Junior College Athletic Association Championship 
during her three years with Kirkwood.

Although there are only four returning Bulldogs, for the 1984 season, Coach Parrish is 
confident in their ability. The two returning pitchers, Jefferson and Kongable, are "very 
capable or handling the ball," Parrish said. The returning players also include freshman 
Tammi Reed and junior Maggie Egofske. Parrish has picked a theme of "conditioning and 
discipline" for the 1984 season. "We'll be tough," she said

Championship drive as a
by TRACY DREESSEN

Silence fell upon the crowd at the tee-off. Cheers rose as the tiny white 
speck sailed down the fairway.

This could be a scene from any golf tournament, but crowds at Bulldog meets 
could be classified as rare, Bill Richerson, golf coach and head of the 
Division of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, said. "They (the 
players) are surprised to see spectators most of the time. It is a team 
sport, but they compete individually. We continue to reinforce the idea 
that every stroke counts," he said.

Although there are hardly any spectators cheering the golf Bulldogs on, that 
didn't hamper their 1983 performance.

The Bulldogs placed second in the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association 
(MIAA) conference championships for the second consecutive year, yet the team was 
still disappointed, Richerson said. "We were the favorites going in, and we expected 
to win it when we went there. We just didn't play well the second day."

That end note, however, was not indicative of the season. The Bulldogs began with a 
first place finish in the Lincoln University Tournament. Southwest Missouri State 
University (Springfield) was one of 10 teams in the tournament that provided tough 
competition for the Bulldogs. "It was the first time in years that we beat them 
(Southwest)," Richerson said.

In addition the team sent one golfer, senior Rick Hercules, to the National Collegiate 
Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II meet in California, Va. In order for the entire 
team to have gone to the meet, the Bulldogs would have had to win the conference meet. 
"We were lucky enough to get a player picked at large. Really, it's an honor. He (Hercules) 
deserved the opportunity after a fine career at NMSU," Richerson said.

Hercules, who was named to the MIAA All-Conference team in 1980, 1982 and 1983, was the 
first Bulldog golfer participating in the national meet since 1976 when the entire 
line-up was selected to go. He came in second at the MIAA conference tournament. Senior 
Cory Scott was another top Bulldog golfer, finishing sixth at the MIAA meet and 
participating with Hercules in the MIAA conference meet. "I only play the ones who'll 
do well, and Cory consistently played well," Richerson said.

The Bulldogs had four returning lettermen for the fall 1983 and spring 1984 season, as 
well as several new faces. One addition is freshman Gary

Zimmerman. "He (Zimmerman) may be our best golfer for the spring," Richerson said.

The team added two tournaments to their fall record. The First was an exciting first 
place finish at the Central Missouri State University (Warrensburg) Fall Golf 
Tournament. The total winning team score was 295 strokes, one of the lowest team scores 
in years. "Our team score was the best one-day total I can ever recall a Northeast team 
shooting, at least since I've been here. We showed a lot of maturity and good team 
balance," Richerson said.

Another team victory won at the CMSU meet was a rivalry victory. "We got some revenge 
when we beat them on their home course this fall. That's something you usually don't 
do," junior Steve Sanders said. CMSU beat the Bulldogs by a slim margin at the spring 
conference meet.

The William Jewell Golf Invitational was the second of two meets during the fall. The 
Bulldogs placed fourth and finished their fall season on an encouraging note. "We 
haven't lost to any Division II schools yet (this season). We've got a good chance to 
go to nationals (in the spring)," sophomore Mike Grensing said.

Sophomore Vance Lesseig is optimistic about the team's chances during the spring season. 
"We'd like to go to nationals; I guess that's our ultimate goal," he said. "Our strongest 
point is our consistency; there's no one player that stands above the rest, like last year. 
Everyone's pretty even," he said.

Richerson agreed that the spring season looks promising. "We'll return a pretty decent 
nucleus next year from the 1983 team. If we can pick up a couple of good incoming freshmen, 
we'll be competitive next spring."

After a team wins the conference championship and places in the top 10 nationally one might 
think they've reached their potential. Not so with the men's tennis team.

The 1983 team won the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic	Association conference championship 
for the third straight year and went on to the National Collegiate Athletic Association 
Division II tournament, with two of the players	becoming All-Americans in the process, in 
both singles and doubles play.

The two All-Americans were junior Carlos Norton	who finished the season ranked 14th, 
and senior Brian Campbell, who finished 19th. The two All-Americans also teamed up to finish 
in the top 10 in doubles competition. Also competing in the NCAA Division II individual	
tournament were seniors Kevin Kickham and Roberto Norton.

The entire team was one of eight invited to the national team tournament, losing in the 
first round to Southern Illinois University (Edwardsville), the eventual national champions. 
"I was very pleased that we were chosen as one of the eight to go on to the national 
tournament," coach Doug Swisher said. ''It was a goal we set at the beginning of the 
year, and we attained it." The Bulldogs ended their season with a 18-5 dual record.

"We all knew we were on the fringe, and a loss here and there could keep us out of nationals, 
so we just took it one meet at a time. What was great was knowing that if a player or two had 
bad days, someone else would come through. If it was close near the end we knew we would 
win. Our doubles combinations would consistently pull us through," Swisher said.

Swisher was MIAA Coach of recognition of season.

The women's tennis team also had a winning season, starting with new coach Dara Callahan. 
"Dara made us more of a team because she stressed the team over the individual," sophomore Lori 
Davis said.

With a largely inexperienced team, they finished the year with a dual record of 3-2 and 
a third place finish at the MIAA conference championships.

Several outstanding season records were posted by the women. Davis finished the season 
with a perfect 12-0 record and a first place finish in conference singles. The Bulldogs 
had four women finish second at the conference meet, including sophomore Kanista Zuniga, 
sophomore Lori Harrison, and freshman Cindy Streb.

"The year was all right, especially when you consider the lack of experience on the team. 
We just wanted to improve on last year's finish, and we did," junior Carol Veatch said.

The experienced freshmen are expected to provide a real plus next season. Veatch, who won't 
be playing due to student teaching demands, said, "We're returning people with a lot of 
playing time. The depth will depend on recruiting, but up front we're going to be really 
strong."

Summer brings out the animals
by MICHELLE YOST

Most people don't know what a Hodag or a Kinkajou is, but after the last few years, more 
and more people are getting an idea.

A Hodag is a hairy animal with short legs, pointed tail, spiny back and large fangs. 
Legend has it that the creature eats only white bulldogs and then only on Sundays.

In Kirksville, Hodags walk on two legs, wear softball gloves and swing bats. These 
domesticated Hodags play slowpitch softball in the Kirksville Men's City League.

In 1979, several faculty and staff members showed an interest in playing softball. 
But the team needed a mascot, and since all athletic team mascots are tigers or 
bears or eagles, the team looked for something more unique.

Ron Gaber, director of residence life, had played for Hodag recreational teams at 
Ball State (Ind.) Unversity. A native of Rhinelander, Wis., Gaber had grown up 
with the legendary Hodag as a town mascot.

The Hodags are also unique because they have a board of directors. The board consists 
of the "foun-ders" of the team: Gaber, Mike Kacir, director of testing services and 
Bob Weith, assistant director of residence life.

"We (the board) basically make decisions about the personnel on the team," Gaber said. 
"It also establishes some people to make some decisions about team philosophy."

The only real criteria for team membership is that players be students, faculty members 
or administrators. Not having too many members from any one faction of the University 
community is one of the things the board tries to avoid. The idea behind the Hodags is 
"to give a chance for faculty, staff and administrators to interact outside of the work 
environment," Gaber said.

Gaber also said the building up of the team occurred because the team members worked 
together. But the social aspect is another important facet of the team. "I think it's 
one of the biggest social activities in the campus community during the summer," Gaber 
said.

Most Hodag team members agree that although they enjoy winning, they are on the field 
for fun.

"It's a good release to relax and relate to the University's administration," Dave Lascu, 
director of Dobson Hall, said. Lascu said he probably would not play softball if the Hodags 
did not exist. Although he considers himself competitive, Lascu plays for fun.

Les Dunseith, former staff assistant in public relations, began playing for the Hodags 
while he was still a student. "My first year, I was intimidated because I played with 
faculty and administrators. But I got used to them and they accepted me," Dunseith said.

Dunseith said the combination of younger and older people on the same team helped "bridge" 
the generation gap and "humanize" the administration. "One thing about the Hodags is that 
it opens up communication between the University and the community," Dunseith said.

Weith agreed. "One of the neat Hodag effects is being able to see people who usually sit 
behind desks with ties on ... screwing up fly balls and making bad base judgments," he said.

Terry Smith, dean of students, said in playing for the Hodags, "We rediscover the boy in us." 
Smith, who usually plays center field, said the Hodag mascot was a good idea.

"There's a kind of fun spirit it (the mascot) generates," Smith said.

Terry Taylor, director of admissions, said the team generates camaraderie. "Hodagism is 
steeped in tradition," he said, "and there's a lot of harmony on the team."

Taylor said the team liked to have fun but "deep down, our team is really competitive."

The female equivalent of the Hodags, the Kinkajous, began in a similar way to the Hodags, 
but had more difficulty getting started. Elsie Gaber, freshman counselor, said when several 
women first discussed the possibility of starting a slowpitch softball team, there was no 
women's league in Kirksville. But during the summer of 1982, enough teams showed interest 
to form a league. This team, too, wanted a unique mascot. After some research, the women 
chose the Kinkajou.

A Kinkajou is a small monkey found in Central and South America. It is nocturnal, lives in 
trees and has large eyes.

"We wanted to choose something that described us," Gaber said, "so we chose the Kinkajou."

GRIM DETERMINATION shows on the face of Terry Taylor, director of admissions, as he steps 
into forceful contact with the ball.
 
(Page 159)

The Kinkajous also have a board of directors, which serve the same purpose as the 
Hodag board. The team's rules for membership is similiar to the Hodags', allowing 
students, faculty/staff and wives of faculty/staff to join.

Irma Beets, supervisor of printing services, said she plays for the team for the 
sociability, friendship and exercise. "Good sportsmanship is probably the most 
important commodity all of us (Kinkajous) have," Beets said.

All members of the Kinkajous share the common objective of fun. "Playing for the 
Kinkajous was a way to have fun and recreation at the same time," Gaber said.

The only student on the team is senior Brenda Clark. "I like to play because it's 
good exercise," Clark said. "I play with the Kinkajous because it's fun."

Kim Wright, staff assistant in publications design, did her undergraduate work at 
Arizona State University (Tempe) where she was on a softball scholarship. "After 
playing competitive ball, it's nice playing for the Kinkajous," Wright said.

Wright likes the atmosphere of the team. "Everybody's attitude was to go out and do 
our best, but still have a good time."

So from among the names so often heard -- Bulldogs, Tigers, Hawkeyes -- emerge two more 
names that sports fans can get excited about -- Hodags and Kinkajous.

Popularity of basketball puts it at top of players'

the fans wait anxiously for their favorite game to begin. They start applauding as each team 
comes onto the court. The referee throws the ball into the air and another game of intramural 
basketball has begun.

Basketball is only one of the 30 events that is offered as an intramural. Some of these include 
softball, volleyball, racquetball, golf and soccer, which was new this year.

Jack Bowen, assistant professor of physical education, and director of intramurals said, 
"Intramurals provide an opportunity for them (the students) to participate in a wholesome 
activity that is organized according to their times and needs."

Sophomore Brad Abernathy played intramural basketball for the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. 
"I think it was well organized," Abernathy said. "It was also a good opportunity to have 
a break from studying."

"It breaks up the monotony of having to study continuously every night,' freshman Laura 
Gramelspacher said. "Plus it introduced me to new people." Gramelspacher participated in 
volleyball, water volleyball and basketball.

Sophomore Mike Wood said, "Intramurals are great as far as I am concerned. It gives the 
person a chance to relieve tension and have a whole lot of fun. Somebody doesn't have to 
be great to participate. The main thing is to have fun."

Intramurals are open to all students, staff and faculty. Anyone who is able to form a 
team is allowed to participate. The only exception is for letter earners in certain 
sports. People are not allowed to compete in an event in which they have lettered unless 
they have not been active in it for at least one year.

Basketball is the most popular intramural sport. Bowen, said that there are as many as 500 
people involved, including spectators. There are 12 games played each night the gym is 
available, and each game involves 25 people. Each basket-

Athletic alternatives

ball team is comprised of 10 players plus referees, officials, and time and scorekeepers.

The budget for this year's intramural program was $46,775, Of this money, $34,176 went 
to personnel service, $6,000 to temporary part-time assistant instructors, $413 to 
equipment purchase and repair, and $6,186 to institutional expenses. Included under 
institutional expenses are recreational supplies such as balls, bats and jerseys.

Intramurals employ 40 people. These people fill such positions as those of secretary and 
game official. Junior Michelle Langley works as an intramural secretary. "I do a little 
bit of everything," Langley said.

In addition to intramurals, students in the residence halls have other options. The 
residence halls offer sports activities such as basketball, volleyball and other 
sports-related activities.

Hall sports give the residents a chance to participate in various types of organized 
recreation at no cost. Missouri Hall resident assistant junior Matt Pollock said, "On 
my floor I have excellent participation. Most of them the residents) respond pretty 
well. A lot depends on the sport."

Resident assistants report a high rate of participation in the intramural program, 
whether that participation is as a player or as an enthusiastic spectator.

Sophomore Steve McKinzie, Dobson Hall resident assistant, said, "Usually there are a 
lot of people that show up to the different games. They help to relieve presure and 
offer an alternative to studying."

Many of the hall sports take place in the Kirk Gym. Junior Eric White is in charge of 
scheduling games in the Kirk Gym. "The residence halls use it mostly," White said. 
"They use it Sunday through Thursday for their group and hall tournaments."

There is also a free play period for all students from 1 to 5 p.m. during the weekdays. 
"It (the gym) is in use from 1 to 11 p.m. just about every evening of the week," White 
said.

In some women's halls, aerobics are offered. Blanton-Nason director Meg Wynn said, "At 
aerobice some weeks we have about 40 people each night." Also popular with the residents 
are weights and the weight rooms. Pollock said, "We've got a weight room you can check 
out (keys to) at the hall desk. That is a very popular thing -- so popular that the desk 
workers get tired of checking it out."

Freshman Bill Dorsam played football for Dobson Hall. "It's a lot of fun," Dorsam said. 
"It's a good way to meet people on the floor and kind of get to know the other people a 
little better."

Organized hall sports enable anyone in the residence halls to participate. "Even some of 
the people who can't play very well come out and give it a try," McKinzie said.

Bowen has no immediate plans to change the sports offered by intramurals. "We try not to 
surprise the students by changing things. Students know what we have and look forward to 
it," he said

Perhaps only alluded to on the surface, everyone we knew owned at least one distinctive 
characteristic. A student from Japan communicated to a different culture through his 
drawing pad. Other students painted their faces purple to encourage spirit during 
basketball games.

While striving for individuality, people also engaged in collective efforts, whether it 
was living in one of the smaller residence halls, racing for equality, counseling 
minorities or showing younger students how to construct a sentence and figure invoices.

Students who were in many ways like us departed from the pattern by flying airplanes, 
stripping burlesque-style for a feverish crowd or earning perfect grade point averages. 
Others took to more conventional occupations such as housecleaning, typing tests, 
playing the piano, or selling coupon books.

The outrage of the diversion or the urge to conform mattered little. The overriding 
factors took everyone into consideration, whether they were conspicuous or 
unobtrusive.

JAPANESE STUDENT CONQUERS THE BARRIERS OF A DIFFERENT COUNTRY BY CREATING 
A blend of post and present cultures
by STEVE WILLIS

Anxiety and uncertainty usually accompany a student's move from high school to college. 
New problems arise -- problems which the student must solve on his own.

The move for an international student is even greater. New language and customs must be 
met head-on. One Japanese student, junior Naoki Takao, has taken the challenge and is 
determined to make college a cultural, as well as an academic, learning experience.

Origami (Japanese paper folding) birds hang on a mobile and sit on Takao's bookcase above 
an "I Love NMSU'' bumpersticker. Another adheres to the case containing his Yamaha 
saxophone, an instrument he has only recently begun learning to play.

The wall beside Takao's bed is covered with drawings of cartoonlike football players, fantasy 
creatures and many clippings of his art that have appeared in the Index. Takao said he became 
interested in drawing from comic books, and has drawn as a hobby for 15 years. He also drew 
covers for a Japanese health magazine for over a year.

Sophomore Mary Nowlan met Takao on a plane on her way back to the United States. Nowlan 
was returning from an exchange program with Tokyo's Hosei University, one of NMSU's sister 
schools. Takao was coming to the University with a group of Japanese exchange students, although he 
was not part of the exchange program. Nowlan had planned a trip to Colorado and decided to invite 
a Japanese student along. "When I went to Japan, the Japanese people treated me very well and 
did a lot for me," Nowlan said. "I wanted to give a Japanese student some of the opportunities 
I had. He (Takao) was such a unique person that I asked him (to go to Colorado) on the plane 
back to the U.S. The Japanese people have a way of making you feel special and close and you 
just trust them."

Nowlan said that she was somewhat protective of Takao during their first few days in Colorado. 
However, she soon learned that this was not necessary. "Naoki adjusted so well that he really 
didn't need me," Nowlan said.

Takao, a transfer student from Hosei University, is an English major and said he eventually 
wants to return to Japan and teach English in a junior high or high school. Takao's father 
is a professor at Hosei and taught many University summer exchange students about Japanese 
religion and culture. Takao studied English for 10 years in Japan, but said that the language 
is still very difficult for him. Listening to popular music supplements Takao's learning. "If 
I find a song I like, I try to pronounce the words," Takao said.

College life at Hosei is quite different from here, Takao said. There are no dormitories, so 
most students have a long train ride to the university. Takao said he rode a train for two 
hours to get to school.

Although living in a residence hall was a new experience for him, he said he had no trouble 
adjusting.

Takao said there are fewer students in his classes here than there were at Hosei. "The 
atmosphere of the classes is pretty good compared to Japan," Takao said.

"PLACE YOUR BETS," junior Naoki Takao tells players junior Jim Cherrington, freshmen 
Jim Bates and Jeff Johnson and sophomore Tim Brooks.

ENTREPRENEURS START BUSINESS TO LET OTHERS SEND ALL-OCCASION GREETINGS THAT ARE 
Stripped to the bare necessities
by ANNETTE VAN DORIN

After getting his first job as a male stripper, sophomore Chris Teno says he hopes to 
continue in the profession.

Teno performed for the residents of the First South wing in Ryle Hall at their Christmas 
party. Teno's roommate, junior Skip Eddy, suggested Teno after overhearing junior resident 
assistant Karen Schwartze mention she wanted to find a male stripper for the party. "I'm 
the one who talked him into it. He said it was one of his fantasies," Eddy said.

"It was a funny idea that just grew into a funny happening," Schwartze said. "I'm glad he 
was sensitive to the crowd. People were surprised that he was there."

The show went well for both performer and audience. "They (the girls) loved it. He loved it," 
Eddy said. Teno began dressed in shirt, tie and jeans and stripped down to bikini briefs.

"It was different. Everybody was just in a crazy mood. It was fun," freshman Ellen Johnson 
said. However, Johnson said she didn't think she would ever go to see professionals perform. 
"It's not what I'd really like to do. I didn't get into it that much."

"I thought he had a lot of nerve to do it. It was a lot of fun," freshman Tricia Woodhouse 
said.

"It got a lot of people to our wing meeting," said sophomore Tami Peck. "There were even 
residents there from other wings," she said.

Teno said he enjoyed the act so much he would like to continue. With Teno as performer and 
Eddy as manager, the pair hopes to get into strip-o-grams for birthdays and other occasions. 
Teno said he got the idea from the TV show, "Real People." For a fee of $5-10 Teno will strip 
and sing "Happy Birthday" to the strip-o-gram recipient.

"I wish I could get with a show," Teno said. He said he had heard of one in Ottumwa, Iowa, 
that was very popular. "You would not believe how much you can raise. It's good money," 
Teno said. Teno received $10 for his performance at Ryle Hall and has had a couple of 
people ask him about doing it again.

The money and the fun are two reasons Eddy and Teno have talked about starting their own 
business. "We're thinking about going into the bar business after we get out of school," 
Eddy said.

Teno said he did not practice before his show. He went mostly from what he had seen on 
TV or had heard about other strippers. However, he did have a similar experience last 
year at Ryle Hall. After a party, wearing only his underwear, Teno streaked through Ryle. 
"I ran into the hall director and she chased me around the hall.

ONE STEP CLOSER to the finale of his striptease act, sophomore Chris Teno removes his 
shirt. Teno performed at First South Ryle's Christmas party.

TAKE IT OFF! First South Ryle Hall residents urge stripper sophomore Chris Teno. Junior 
Chris Pribyl gets tied up in the excitement of the action.

WELCOMING STUDENTS TO SCHOOL, BSU HELPS QUENCH THIRST OF THOSE Seeking a 
temporary form of relief

In search of heat relief, senior Lea Wilhelm obtains a cup of cool refreshment from freshman 
Laura Yeager at the Baptist Student Union soft drink stand. Members of the group gave away 
the drinks at the start of the fall semester in front of the Administration/Humanities Building.

The purpose of the stand, an idea that had been used with success by BSUs statewide, was to 
make students on campus aware of the BSU. Temperatures that week were high, but junior BSU 
member Ruth Miller said, "We had a great time meeting co-workers and people that came by."

WITH SUMMER CAME FIRST TASTE	OF College pie

Preparing for his first college experience, freshman Joe Don Harrell registers with Chester 
Brock and receives information concerning his day of orientation. In the heat of the summer, 
students filled the Student Onion, looking around, trying to soak up the activity and 
surroundings of college life. For new students, summer orientation was their first introduction 
to the campus environment. "Summer orientation gives students a chance to get involved with 
University life before they actually have to be here for classes, and it lets them know that 
they are a part of the student body," junior Mark Peper said. Peper was the coordinator for 
the Students Helping Students (SHS) leaders, which was a group of upperclass students who 
helped with orientation.

COUPON BOOK SOLD AS Big deals

As senior Kevin Pipkins and sophomore John Pipkins wait for more customers, senior Bob 
Ripplinger completes his purchase of a Business Administration Club coupon book. BAC sold 
the coupon books at the beginning of the school year for $2 to offer students discounts 
from local merchants. "We sold 998 books this semester, which is better than last year," 
junior Karen Kettler, BAC president, said. With 75 members, BAC cited an "increase in 
participation," Kettler said. BAC took part in such activities as bake sales, picnics 
and a trip to Kansas City, Missouri, where the club toured the Board of Trade and the 
Federal Reserve. The club is open to all business administration and accounting majors 
who are interested in working with peers that have similar career objectives.

FLEXIBLE HOURS SET TO FIT STUDENT, FACULTY WISHES MAKE SOME LATE CLASSES EARLIER
Sunset ushers, evening learners

While most of us are trying to decide what to have for supper or watching the 6 p.m. news, 
there are other students on their way to a night class. Night classes meet once a week for 
3 hours, usually from 7 to 10 p.m., but some instructors have seen disadvantages to this 
time and have changed it.

Stuart Vorkink, associate professor of political science, held a class from 6 to 9 p.m. on 
Tuesdays. Vorkink noted some personal advantages to this time. "Getting out early, I can 
spend more time with my family. My kids go to bed before ten." Other advantages he sees are 
for his students who have to commute long distances. "Traveling at night can be dangerous 
the later it gets. When we finish at nine, they can be on the road sooner." As for the 
students' reactions to the earlier time, Vorkink said, "I think it's a very individual 
thing, different schedules; some may like to get finished early while others may need 
more time between classes."

Graduate student Janet Canole, who is in the class, said, "Well, it's nice to get out at 
a decent hour; I'm not nearly as tired. It's inconvenient for people who work though, say 
8 to 5, to only have an hour before they have to be on campus."

Linnea Ratcliff, associate professor of speech, suggested to her night class that the meeting 
time be moved from 7 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The time was good for her because it fit her personal 
schedule and a lot of students indicated it was good for them, she said.

"It was a happenstance kind of thing and I think most of the students liked it," Ratcliff said.

The night classes of Dr. Viola Martin, associate professor of education, were both scheduled 
to meet from 7 to 10 p.m., but now meet from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. "The students voted and that's 
what they wanted," Martin said. "I don't feel the seven o'clock convening hour should be 
tampered with, but the availability of rooms during the evening is ideal for this if it's 
what the students want to do."

Junior Amy Watt said, "The three hours still drag on and on, but we like meeting earlier 
because we get out earlier. I like it because I don't have a long break between classes 
this way."

Night classes, whatever the time, aren't for everyone. But they don't necessarily have to 
be inflexible in the scheduled time slots they are given. If teachers and students want to 
cooperate, preferable time, convenient for most, is worked out. 

AS DUSK ARRIVES, senior Nora McNeil and freshman Melissa Thomas go to a 5:30 p.m. class. 
Many classes were moved up from the usual 7 to 10 p.m. time slot.

ADVENTURE-SEEKERS LEAVE TOWN IN SEARCH OF RELIEF BUT HOW DO THEY SPELL IT? 
ROAD TRIP

The residence hall parking lot remains full all week, but when the weekends roll around, 
the parking spots begin to open up. Everyone knows at least some people go home every 
weekend. But maybe not everyone goes home.

Where do they go? On a road trip!

In late October, seniors Janet Nicholson and Jeff Vandevender and juniors Nancy Hall and 
Craig Miller along with freshman Melissa Fryre tripped out to Colorado for a weekend. Hall 
and Vandevender had worked at the YMCA of the Rockies last summer, Hall said.

A quality that road trips are noted for is their spontaneity. "I had to find someone to 
work for me about 5 minutes before we left," Hall said. "That was the only problem."

Road trips have several attractive aspects to them. "It was cheap. The entire trip only 
cost $25 per person," Vandevender said. "And it sure beats staying in Kirksville for 
the weekend."

"It was good to see a lot of old friends last summer, but mostly I wanted to see my 
girlfriend," Vandevender said.

A road trip does not have to go as far as Colorado to be a good time. "It was a spur 
of the moment thing," junior Jeff Terrell, said. "We decided, Hey, Kirksville is boring.
Let's go to Ottumwa (Iowa)."

Terrell, juniors Mike Stroh and Mike Newton, senior Don Frazier, and sophomore Mark 
Turnbeaugh only encountered one problem on the trip. Terrell explained, "No one had 
a car so we called everyone we could think of, until we found someone to lend us his 
car. And we were off."

Junior Matt Gottschalk, who lives in Ottumwa, had gone home for the weekend. "Jeff 
called me and said, 'We're coming to see ya',", Gottschalk said. "So I had to give 
my mom a kinda short notice that there would be five extra people staying the night."

Terrell said that there was a major advantage to taking the 60-mile road trip, "We 
were all legal to drink in Iowa, so we bought a 12-pack of Budweiser and went to 
Matt's house," Terrell said. "Then we went with Matt and Buzz (junior Doug Gulbronson) 
to patronize all the bars that we could."

Gottschalk said, "My mom came through with a pot of hot coffee for us the next morning."

Although the road trip taken by senior Barb Becker and fellow Delta Sigma Pi members 
sophomores Jay Taylor, Bill Dichiser, Rob Hultz, senior Colleen Ritchie and graduate 
student Kevin Rockhold was as spontaneous as any moment of madness, the group set out 
with two specific objectives:	"to get out of Kirksville and to get a stereo for Delta 
Sigma Pi, ' ' Becker said. Becker said Dichiser navigated and found a shortcut from 
looking at the map. The shortcut turned out to be a dirt road on which a headlight 
was shattered. "The dust was so bad I couldn't even see the road,'' Becker said.

Upon reaching their destination, Iowa's Quad Cities, the travelers went to the bars in 
Davenport and Becker, a Missourian said she got teased for buying an authentic Iowa 
Hawkeye t-shirt.

Before hitting the road for the return trip to Kirksville the next morning, though, 
the group took it easy and slept late, Becker said. "Jay's mom fed us mega food," she 
said. "It was fun." 

RETURN TRIP unloading is no fun for junior Cindi Pippin, sophomore Tonya Reed and 
freshman Dawn Crum who took to the road for a weekend in Rushville, III.

OFFERING THEIR SPARE TIME AND ABILITIES AS SWIMMERS, STUDENTS AND INSTRUCTORS FIND 
SUCCESS IN A
Pool of aquatic lessons for children 
by RONI DANNER

Many students find part time jobs or do volunteer work, but few spend their time in more 
rewarding ways than the student instructors of children's swim class.

The swim program is a community service provided by the University Natatorium. The classes 
are open for children ages 5 to 17. The swimmers meet for one hour a week, 10 weeks during 
the semester, and also during the summer.

Mark Mullin, instructor of aquatics and Natatorium director, said, "The program could have 
over lOO children involved, but we try to keep the enrollment down, and the quality of the 
lessons high." The average class size is around eight children to an instructor. Low 
enrollment is to encourage more personal relationships between the swimmers and the 
instructors, Mullin said. "More attention accelerates the children's learning," he said.

Mullin said he hopes to expand the program if increased interest and number of innstructors 
allows. But he plans to keep the groups small for quality lessons.

The instructors for the program are assistant swim instructors and university students. The 
instructors are required to be Red Cross approved with a Water Safety Instructor 
certification.

Student instructors are enthusiastic about the program, and would like to see it expand. Junior 
Dee McClarnan said, "I think more people need to know about it."

Sophomore Pat Glenn, a student instructor said, "Everyone should learn how to swim at a young 
age."

Sophomore Michelle Walker, enjoys her work. She said she feels good about teaching children 
how to control a situation that at first frightens them.

Walker said the biggest problem does not come from the children, but from their parents. "A 
parent's attitude is impressed upon their children; if a parent has a fear of water the child 
has a hard time dealing with his or her own fear ... it takes patience like any job with kids," 
Walker said.

Taking a child who is afraid to even get into the water and developing his confidence enough 
to have him diving off the board is the most rewarding experience, Walker said.

The student instructors do not seem to have many problems in dealing with younger children 
rather than their college peers. Walker said, "It's fun -- kind of a fantasy. With kids you 
can act like a kid yourself." 

STUDENT SWIMMER Seth Thomas starts lessons at an early age as instructor sophomore 
Michelle Walker keeps his back straight. Classes were offered to students aged 1-to-17.

ENTHUSIASTIC INSTRUCTOR, senior Shon Thompson, helps student swimmer Mary Brocher 
learn good floating techniques at a lesson in the Natatorium. The lessons lasted 
10 weeks.

PARADOXICAL SHADOWS OF POSSIBLE POLITICAL REALM; BOOK PROVOKES THOUGHTS AND 
WARNS OF A
Conformist life with Big Brother 
by TERRY DUNSEITH

Imagine yourself living in a nation where the slogan of the controlling government party is: 
WAR IS PEACE; FREEDOM IS SLAVERY; IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

These seemingly abstract phrases are actually undisputable party truths. It is impossible to 
negate any aspect of this political slogan without reverting to common sense. Only common 
sensical arguments about the rights of man can defend against such statements. A person with 
the basic understanding of the distinction between war and peace, freedom and slavery, and 
ignorance and strength can easily discredit the slogan as being nonsense.

But what happens when men are denied the right to experience peace, freedom and knowledge? 
The only information available concerning man's existence as an individual has been reshaped 
to neatly conform to the party's ideology. Common sense can no longer be used as an argument 
against party philosophy because it no longer exists in man's repertoire of ideas.

If man loses the privilege of thinking for himself and allows his government to think and act 
for him, society will consist of a multitude of robotic citizens carefully scrutinized by an 
over protective, yet impersonal, leadership. George Orwell warns us of this possible evil in 
his classic novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" in which residents of the totalitarian state of 
Oceania are subjected to constant surveillance by a restrictive government headed by the 
party leader Big Brother.

Today's advanced communications equipment makes much of what Orwell imagined a 
possibility. In "Nineteen Eighty-Four" a minor bureaucrat named Winston Smith 
works at the Oceania Ministry of Truth rewriting news to conform to party ideology. 
At work and at home he and all Party members are observed by two-way telescreens. Privacy 
has been abolished for all party members. An increased feeling of paranoia is instilled 
within party members by posters everywhere proclaiming BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.

Love relationships between men and women are not allowed by Big Brother. All procreation will 
soon be carried on solely through artificial insemination.

Unfortunately for Smith, he commits a heinous crime against Big Brother. "Down with Big 
Brother" crosses his mind and he is arrested for committing a thought crime. In addition, 
he and his secret sexual partner Julia are convicted of breaking the celibacy law. 
They are both taken to the Ministry of Love by the thought Police to be tortured. Subjected 
to their worst fears by their interrogators, they each beg to have their punishment inflicted 
on the other. This mutual betrayal eliminates all feelings of love and compassion between them, 
thus insuring their status as good party members.

Now that 1984 has come, people of all nations and social statuses are looking closely at their 
world to determine where reality ends and Orwell's warnings begin, including students.

Junior Rich Jackson said many of Orwell's warnings are now possible.

Many readers have mistaken Orwell's book, which was first published in June 1949, as a 
prediction of things to come rather than a warning of what man must prevent to combat 
misuse of governmental technology.

"The book was really interesting and thought-provoking. It was creative and could say a lot 
about society (and) could be taken as a warning. No one can predict the future, but it has a lot of 
ideas," Janette Burklund, freshman, said.

Freshman Mike Smith said some of the actions of the U.S. government can be paralleled to the 
government of Big Brother. "There's censorship going on in our government. The FBI taps 
phones -- that's being watched. There are a lot of regulations. Some parts in the book you 
can see happening in society."

Orwell's book should prove to be the most popular book of 1984.

More than selling copies, the book is creating an awareness and evaluation of individual 
freedoms and government restrictions throughout the world. Academic seminars, television 
documentaries, magazine and newspaper articles, and private discussions are examining 1984 
as Orwell's year

FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE, QUIET SETTING PROMPT MANY
TO EXPERIENCE SMALL HALL LIVING THAT IS
The next best thing to being at home
by JOE PEREZ

The typical image of the campus barracks is two beds, two bureaus, two desks, two chairs and 
two students compacted is a small room in a five-story brick dormitory. This style is by no means 
extinct, but neither is it no longer a model. Life in smaller residence halls is becoming more 
attractive to students who are finding one main advantage to that style of living: close 
encounters.

The larger residence halls on campus occupy between 500 and 700 residents each. Blanton-
Nason, Brewer and Grim Hall each house less than 120 residents who feel the smaller 
population provides a more quiet, friendly and homey atmosphere.

Sophomore Jill Morrison, Blanton Hall resident, said, "Being in a smaller hall, you get better 
relations. You'll know more of your neighbors and will see them quite a bit. There's a 
relationship of everyone knowing each other on every floor which you wouldn't get in 
Centennial or Ryle."

Grim Hall offers a quiet study atmosphere for 66 women, the least number of residents in any 
residence hall on campus. Senior Lou Wilkinson said, "It's a lot quieter here because the 
guidelines are enforced, which makes it better for me to study here because it's not an 
inconvenience for me to hunt for a quiet place to study."

Grim Hall director Ruth Myers said the smaller setting may not be everyone's cup of tea. "It's 
like living in a small town where everyone knows each other or living in a larger town where 
there's not that personal contact. You have to chose which you like," Myers said.

Sophomore Michelle Schmidt, Brewer Hall resident assistant, said because Brewer is a sorority 
hall, the atmosphere is different than any other hall.

Myers believes the smaller sized residence halls provide just as many programs and activities for 
their residents as the larger halls. She said there are misconceptions of the smaller halls as just 
being a quiet and study environment.

Ron Gaber, director of residence life, said there are advantages and disadvantages to both types 
of halls. "It's not a one way street. Many may feel the smaller hall living is the only way to go, 
but larger hall residents would say, 'I wouldn't go there.' It's a matter of personal preference," 
Gaber said

AN AFTERNOON SNACK and a good conversation is shared by sophomores Laurie Martin and 
Beth Nelson, Blanton Hall residents.

TEMPORARY REFUGE is sought by sophomores Trish Chipley, Brenda Jefferson and Lisa Clark in 
Blanton lounge following a full day of classes.

EVEN THOUGH SHE DOES NOT DO WINDOWS
PHI KAPS SAY JODY JOHNSON IS
Especially maid for the job

While many college women have trouble keeping their own rooms clean, one student has the 
job of cleaning up after seven men.

Once a week, junior Jody Johnson cleaned three kitchens, two living rooms and the bathrooms 
in a two-story house occupied by seven members of the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. Cleaning 
usually took about three hours, she said. "I clean the whole house except the bedrooms."

Having a housekeeper didn't seem like a farfetched idea to the men. "It's unusual, but it 
shouldn't be. More people should do it," Secrest said.

The men hired Johnson because "the house is always a wreck," junior Scott Secrest said. 
"Nobody cleans it."

Johnson, who used to clean the Alpha Kappa Lambda house, got the job when a co-worker of 
her room mate mentioned he needed a maid. She says she got along well with her employers. 
"They're good guys."

The men seemed to enjoy the idea of having a housekeeper, and one who is a student at that. 
"When I tell them we have a maid, people think it's an old lady who does it for a living," junior 
Scott Secrest said.

Johnson enjoys her job because it gives her a chance to meet lots of people who visited the 
house while she was there. "It doesn't feel like work," she said.

LAUNDRY-DAY work of junior Jody Johnson, maid for the Phi Kappa Theta house, is inspected by 
senior Vince Rice and junior Scott Secrest.

WARMING UP
FOR
Equal rights

A good warmup is a key element to competitive performance. Freshman Kristen Schurter strains 
her muscles in a leg stretch before the Equality Walk-Run, sponsored by the Kirksville chapter of 
the National Organization for Women in October. Schurter, a member of the women's cross 
country team, was one of about 30 participants, which included males and females from the 
University and the community. "There were a couple of guys from the cross country team and 
men from town who had done them (races) before," Schurter said.

The race was combination five kilometer racewalk and 10 kilometer run, the first such event 
held in Kirksville. Schurter said she ran six miles finishing with a time of 43 minutes.

Olympic medalist Larry Young of Kirksville demonstrated racewalking to the participants before 
the start of the race.

CENTENNIAL RESIDENTS SAW RENOVATIONS AND
ATMOSPHERE CHANGES IN
Lounge decor and color scheme
by KARMAN WITTRY

Residents of Centennial Hall were met at the door this fall not only by resident assistants and 
friends, but also by a brand-new main lounge.

Planning for the renovation began three or four years ago and originally included only new 
carpet, drapes and re-upholstered furniture, Ron Gaber, director of residence life, said. 
However, renovations were delayed a year because the initial architect discontinued the work 
he had begun and the committment he had made with the University in terms of planning the 
renovation, Gaber said.

But for Centennial Hall residents, the change was worth waiting for. Anne Dougherty, Centennial 
Hall director said, "It gets more use; there are always people down there."

"It's more inviting," sophomore Tami Carlson said.

One reason for the increased usage is a different atmosphere, part of which is new, modular 
furniture. Aside from being comfortable, the arrangement encourages more group interaction. 
The semicircular high-backed maroon modules are like "a room within a room," Gaber said, and 
the lounge's tables allow students to study together without bothering those in the quiet 
lounge.

The origin of the orange modules, which are a part of the beige, maroon and pink color scheme, 
was the subject of many rumors. One rumor was that they were a part of value added and that 
the University was striving for consistency by making the lounge chairs the same color as the 
desks in the Administration/Humanities Building. Another rumor was that someone had simply 
given the University a good deal because the chairs were an unusual color.

Despite initial shock, most Centennial women got used to the sight. "At first I thought they were 
kind of dorky, but it doesn't bother me now," senior Barbara Stanley said.

In order to maintain the new lounge, new rules were established. No eating, drinking or smoking 
is allowed. Although this is a change from past lounge policy, there have been no problems 
enforcing the new regulations, said Dougherty. In fact, the women are glad that their new 
lounge will be protected. "It will stay nicer longer," Stanley said.

PLUSH COMFORT and privacy within a semi-circle of chairs provide a study environment for 
sophomore Regina Niemann and freshman Kris Mitchell.

HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND, PILOT EASES TENSIONS
AND ALTHOUGH IT IS A COSTLY HABIT, HE HAS
An undying fascination with flying
by KIM POOLE

Junior Dan Greenwell is a member of Delta Sigma Pi, Blue Key, and the Accounting Club, but he 
has a habit, and a very expensive one at that.

During the weekend, Greenwell spends his time announcing at a Monroe City radio station to 
support his habit -- flying airplanes.

"I was always interested in flying, even when I was a little kid," Greenwell said. "Airplanes have 
always fascinated me."

Greenwell got his pilot's license in September of 1982. "I decided, 'well I'm going to do it' (get 
the license), and that's how I started," he said. He started taking lessons between his freshman 
and sophomore year in college.

To be a pilot, a person must be over 16, take 20 hours of instruction with a flight instructor, have 
20 hours of solo flight, and be able to perform different maneuvers such as landings and 
takeoffs.

Greenwell began flight training in Macon and finished in Hannibal. "Everyone could do it if they 
really wanted to. It is not just limited to a few," Greenwell said.

The only disadvantage Greenwell sees in having a pilot's license is the cost. Greenwell is a 
member of the Macon Flying Club and rents his planes through them. It costs approximately $34 
an hour to fly at the Fowler Memorial Airport in Macon, and $20 an hour as a member of the 
flying club.

Greenwell feels there are many advantages to flying. "It just kind of takes you away from 
everything. You're really not associated with what goes on down below. It is just you alone in 
the air, and it is really relaxing," he said. "It's a tension reliever, and I really enjoy it."

Greenwell has no fear of crashing. He said, "Even if the motor would quit I feel that I would have 
total control, and I could still land it without being hurt at all if there was a decent place to 
land."

Because he does not have 20/20 vision, Greenwell cannot be a pilot with the commercial 
airlines. He would, however, like to continue his flight training.

During school, Greenwell still tries to get in a couple hours of flight time a month. If it were not 
so expensive, he said he would like to fly a lot more.

Greenwell feels that everyone has the ability to get a pilot's license. "Don't let the initial cost 
scare you away," he said, "Because it is expensive, I had to sacrifice a lot just to get my license. I 
love it (flying) and just the pleasure I get out of it myself is the immediate satisfaction."

PAGEANT PARTICIPANTS STAND IN THE SPOTLIGHT
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM
The woman behind the women
by HEATHER BRUCE

They come on stage dressed in ornate gowns with smiles abounding, knowing all eyes are on 
them. They are the pageant contestants. And the road to that stage was not one created by 
themselves, but with the help of friends, relatives, coaches and especially what contestants 
might call the "woman behind the women."

Ginjo Reed, executive director of the Miss Kirksville Pageant, has held that place in many 
university contestants' memories.

A 28-year veteran of pageant management, Reed started the Miss Kirksville Pageant in 1970 
under the sponsorship of the Kirksville Jaycees. "I'm awfully proud that I'm the one who got this 
(the pageant) started in Kirksville. I really feel it is the number one local pageant in Missouri and 
I'm not bragging on Ginjo," Reed said.

It's the women she works with that brag about Reed. "She puts her whole heart and soul into 
the pageant," Teresa Wood, graduate student and the 1983 Miss Kirksville, said.

What she does put into the pageant is a lot of work and time before the contest takes place. 
Reed instructs the women in make-up, hair styling, clothes, proper walking and interviews. "We 
go through every phase of the competition," Reed said.

After Wood's crowning in January 1983, she and Reed began to prepare for the Miss Missouri 
contest in Mexico, Mo. in July. Reed began taking Wood to pageants every weekend until the 
end of school. At the start of summer Wood moved in with Reed to begin her rigorous daily 
schedule.

"First I moved her in with me. Then we tried to tone-up her body, work on her walk, buy her 
wardrobe (two gowns, a bathing suit and an interview outfit). Then we got a lot of sun for a 
good tan. I just tried to prepare her in all phases for a beautiful and talented girl."

Wood feels she got more than a slimmer frame and an informed mind from Reed's workouts. 
"The things she taught me weren't just for the pageant, they were for the rest of my life. She 
showed me a lot of self-discipline and tried to help me to be the best I could be," Wood said.

Wood is not Reed's first, nor her last title holder. Reed has guided many women to the Miss 
Kirksville title and stayed with them throughout the Miss Missouri Pageant. She not only works 
with Miss Kirksvilles, but with anyone that comes to her for help with pageant preparation.

Her work has paid off as three of her contestants went on to become Miss Missouri, another she 
coached became Miss Illinois. "I had two of my girls (Miss Missouri and Miss Illinois) up on stage 
in Atlantic City at the same time. That was probably the most exciting time I've had in a 
pageant," Reed said.

She credits more than just a dazzling smile and great talent to winning the crown. "It's a girl that 
goes in without fear of others, giving it all she's got within her. She's got to know that she's out 
there to compete with herself and no one else."

Reed's next task is preparing the reigning Miss Kirksville, senior Kelly Jo Scantlin for the Miss 
Missouri pageant in " August. Like Wood, Scantlin will travel with Reed to various pageants 
across the state to give her a better knowledge of the expectations of a queen, Reed said.

Reed feels things might be a little different for Scantlin. "Kelly's different. Her talent is different. 
A lot of people don't like that type of talent. She will definitely stand out," Reed said. Scantlin 
will perform a dramatic reading from Maxwell Anderson's "Mary Queen of Scots" for the talent 
portion of the competition.

Reed doesn't seem to worry too much about that aspect of the contest. "I tell my girls: 'You get 
that talent and I'll do the rest'."

Reed will no doubt influence Scantlin's performance in Mexico. She'll watch the walk, hem the 
dresses, trim her figure, broaden her mind and polish her smile until another in the long line of 
'Ginjo's Girls' walks across the stage with a little more confidence than she might have had 
before she met up with the 'woman behind the women.'

A CROWN and bouquet of roses are traditional prizes for the winner of the Miss Kirksville 
pageant. Senior Kelly Jo Scantlin, receives hers with a smile.

WITH OPEN ARMS, graduate student Teresa Wood, Miss Kirksville 1983, congratulates senior 
Zina Pickens on being selected Miss Congeniality.

DEEP IN THOUGHT, AI Srnka, assistant professor of speech, and Ginjo Reed, pageant executive 
director, critique a contestant's talent.

PLAYER PEPS
CROWDS	WITH
Crazy cheers

The action off the field can occasionally grab as much attention as the action on the field. Junior 
John Meyers, snare drummer, uses his visor as a handy drumstick holder in order to free his 
hands during the game. Some sections of the band had their own cheers and a few band 
members like Meyers took to wearing their instruments. During the football games, a sort of 
competition emerged between sections to see which could be the most entertaining. The band 
also provided support for the cheerleaders and usually drew from their own repetoire of group 
cheers.

One of the cheerleaders, junior Denise Terranova, said, "They (the band members) helped the 
cheerleaders get the crowd into the game." Terranova said the band was cooperative, and 
waited until the cheerleaders had finished to perform their own unique brand of cheers.

RED CROSS WORKERS
CO-SPONSOR
Donor drives

A Red Cross attendant carefully inserts a catheter into the arm of freshman Lorie Comstock 
during a campus blood drive. Cardinal Key and Blue Key, as well as ROTC, sponsored blood 
drives which were held in the Student Union Building as a service to the Red Cross.

Sophomore Kathy Benjamin, donor, said, "I did it originally because of extra credit points for 
military science. I was scared, but I'm glad I did it and I'll do it again." Senior Sarah Matches, 
Cardinal Key blood drive chairman, said Blue Key and Cardinal Key each select a member to 
coordinate blood drive activities, with members of both groups volunteering their assistance to 
Red Cross personnel on the day of the drive. She also said student response to the drives is 
usually good. "NMSU is a really good source (of blood) for Adair County," she said.

TOAD, CHOPPER, GUT - QUESTIONABLE NICKNAMES,
BUT TERMS OF ENDEARMENT DO NOT HURT IF
Namecalling is just for the fun of it

"Given names" are presented at birth, but some people choose to abandon them and take on a 
more descriptive pseudonym. However, some "nicknames" are given rather than chosen.

Randy Erickson, sophomore, acquired the nickname of Toad from the men of third north Dobson 
Hall last year, he said.

"I started jumping over people and they started calling me Toad," Erickson, a Bulldog 
cheerleader, said.

Toad usually makes his attempts with his jumpees standing straight up and has a personal 
record of sorts. "I've jumped six at a time," Toad said.

But, every Toad that goes up comes down "At Theta Psi someone told me to jump and I fell 
down," he said.

Judging by the descriptive quality of such nicknames, it should be possible to guess what a 
person with the nickname Chopper would be like.

This nickname fits into the category where a situation prompts a new name, and that name 
sticks to the person through life.

"It was in sixth grade in my geography class" senior Theresa Chambers said. "We had rulers and 
kept hitting them against the desk. The teacher said, 'Whoever keeps chopping the desk, stop 
it'." From that moment on Chambers was dubbed Chopper. "I'm more used to it than Theresa," 
she said.

She may not mind, but her parents do. "They don't like it. My mom hates it. When people call 
and ask, 'Is Chops there?,' she'll say, 'Yes, Theresa is here'."

Another nickname holder on campus has a problem with people thinging he got the name for 
reasons other than the real one.

Senior Jim "Gut" Gazzolo says that people often think the name Gut refers to the abundance of 
body weight, but the actual story involves a child's interpretation of Gazzolo's name.

"A friend of mine heard a little kid down the street mispronounce my name," he said. The friend 
then shortened the mispronounced version of Gazzolo to Gut. This name has stuck since the 
fifth grade.

Gazzolo said people who know him are used to his unusual nickname. "They are used to it; they 
don't really have an opinion about it," " he said.

"People always ask me why other people call me Gut," he said. "Some people say, 'Gut, what's a 
Gut?' "

Although the name is familiar to his friends, Gazzolo said there are circumstances when he 
prefers to be known by his given name. "Generally, I like to be called Gut better but under 
certain situations, I like to be called Jim," he said. "It depends on the situation."

Gazzolo's parents do not mind. "A lot of my friends refer to my mom and dad as Mama and 
Papa Gut," Gazzolo said

"GUTSY" BALLPLAYER senior Jim 'Gut' Gazzolo, talks with senior Kevin Johnson. The nickname 
has extended to his parents, "Mama and Papa Gut".

A DARING FEAT is attempted by sophomore Randy Erickson as he jumps over five "jump-ees." 
The antic gave him the nickname "Toad."

WITH ADDITIONAL PARTICIPANTS IN AID PROGRAM,
STUDENTS AND FACULTY WORK TOGETHER AND FIND 
Assistance on both sides of the desk
by LISA KIRKPATRICK

There is a group of students on campus who in the past three years have increased in size from 
seventeen to over lOO. This group of students is known as Students In Service.

Students In Service are hired to work in the divisions and various offices on campus. Katie 
Steele, associate director of admissions, said the SIS program is used as a recruitment tool by 
the University. The students who are offered jobs in the SIS program are usually in-coming 
freshmen who score academically high in school and who also show a need for financial 
assistance. "Because of their academic abilities, we thought that this was a student that we 
would like to have on our campus, and we offered them the institutional assistance through 'the 
SIS program," Steele said.

The SIS program started in 1982 with 17 students. The next year there were forty students and 
this year there were over 100, Steele said. To be considered for the program a student must 
have a combined class rank and test score percentage of 170 or above. Steele said this is the 
same type of student who is currently receiving the President's Honorary Scholarship.

When students get their letters of application the summer before they come to college, they are 
asked to rank job choices "We try to honor their list of rank order and we also try to place them 
by their academic major," Steele said.

SIS students are required to work at least 7 1/2 hours a week at their jobs. Sophomore Tonja 
Morgan, who works for the Division of Social Science, said she works up to 12 hours per week. 
She works 8 1/2 hours for the SIS program and devotes the rest of her time for the division. 
"They tell you how many hours to work and how many they can afford," Morgan said.

Freshman Julia McNabb, who works in the Fine Arts division, said she works the 7 1/2 hours 
only. "Any hours that I work over goes to the next semester."

What kinds of things do the SIS students do on the job? Morgan said she does everything from 
typing tests to taking dictation. "It keeps me up on my shorthand and typing speed," she said. As 
a business education/business administration major, Morgan said the job helps her to see what 
being a teacher is like from figuring test scores and typing tests.

Steele said the program tries to let the students do something more academic jobs. "Basically, 
we try to have them do something a little bit more academic than some institutional jobs. But 
because of the large numbers and the jobs that need to be filled, we have them working in the 
library, for instance. Filing books may not seem academic, but it's something that needs to be 
done, and that may be where an SIS student is working," Steele said.

Sophomore Kathy Stuart, who also works for the Division of Social Science, said she does 
whatever the instructors tell her to do. "I enjoy the work experiences. I'm really glad for the 
opportunity," Stuart said.

WITH PAST DEMANDS KEEPING UP WITH PRESENT,
FRESHMAN'S MUSICAL INTEREST HAS LED TO 
Harmonies in key aspects of life
by DANA EDGAR

Freshman Kenny Kehner knows his way around a piano.

A native of Union, Mo., Kehner began playing the piano at age four, and by the time he turned 
six, his grandmother was teaching him the notes.

"My grandmother influenced me a lot, although it did take a long time before I really became 
serious about it," Kehner said.

As a musician, Kehner was much in demand during high school. He accompanied the concert 
choir, and sang the lead tenor role in "South Pacific" and "Sound of Music," was in All-State 
Choir his senior year and won a number one rating three years in a row at the State Music 
Festival. "I got stuck with a lot of things; I just couldn't say no," he said.

Now that he's in college, Kehner, a Pershing scholar, is continuing his musical involvement. He is 
a member of the Jazz Band, the Franklin Street Swing Choir and various instrumental and vocal 
solos. Even after spending this amount of time facing the piano, Kehner manages to get in 12-16 
hours a week of practice. "It can drive you crazy sometimes," he said.

Kehner even finds time to play approximately six hours a week at Minn's Cuisine. "I work under 
less pressure there. The music is simpler and more relaxing," he said.

Janice Saffir, instructor of piano, said, "Kenny is an exceptionally talented student ... he enjoys 
and performs classical and jazz playing, which is a very unusual combination." "My very favorite, 
though, is jazz ... I can express myself," Kehner said.

Kehner said he feels he needs to develop more technical skill and improve in total concentration 
in his performing. "Hopefully that will come in time," he said, "You can't let mistakes bother 
you."

In Kehner's spare time, he likes to listen to music or practice the piano. "I like to be with my 
friends when I can or just foolin' around," Kehner said.

"Kenny is very talented. He definitely has his head on his shoulders," Clay Dawson, associate 
professor of music, said.

Right now, Kehner has no definite plans for the future. "I'm going to play anything and 
everything until I decide what I really want to do," Kehner said.

PIANO MAN, freshman Kenny Kehner practices in the band room and (inset) an instructor's 
office in Baldwin Hall. Kehner spends 12-16 hours each week in practice.

DESPITE SMALL SPACE, ACTIVITIES FAIR'
LET STUDENTS
Come 'join the parade'

Students did not have to wait until Homecoming this year to see a parade. Even with limited 
space, Cardinal Key, an honorary service sorority, managed to conduct their own parade in the 
Georgian Room of the Student Union.

"Join the Parade" was the theme for the 14th Annual Activities Fair held Sept. 22. Fifty campus 
organizations set up booths which were staffed by members who provided information to 
interested students. Many organizations decorated their booths in a festive manner to illustrate 
the theme.

The fair, co-sponsored by Cardinal Key and Student Activities, "provides a good representation 
of organizations on campus," said junior Ruth Miller, co-chairwoman of the fair for Cardinal Key.

The word "activity" aptly described the fair. Aside from the continuous shuffling of students 
from booth to booth, members of Cardinal Key added to the activities with a booth-decoration 
contest and door prizes.

The winning booth, sponsored by the Baptist Student Union, resembled a parade float. 
Members of the BSU further illustratred the fair's carnival atmosphere by handing out brightly 
colored balloons.

Recruiting new members was the primary purpose behind organizational participation in the 
fair. But instead of sitting behind their booths waiting for students to come to them, some 
organizations took center stage and demonstrated a particular activity of their organization.

The Society for Creative Anachronisms demonstrated medieval dueling and dancing. Members 
of the Horse and Rodeo Club demonstrated their roping skills on surrogated wooden steers, and 
the members of the Baptist Student Union sang "A Common Love." Freshman Sofia Jimenez of 
the International Club also entertained onlookers as she performed a Columbian folk dance.

"I think it's (the fair) especially helpful for freshmen who are looking for something to get 
involved in," Miller said.

JAPANESE STUDENTS SHARE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR
LANGUAGE TO TEACH AMERICAN PEERS IN A
Classroom of new perspectives
by KATHLEEN ARMENTROUT

Everyone needs a little help once in a while. Foreign students often have more difficulty than 
others, but in at least one University course Japanese students have a distinct advantage.

Five Japanese students are sharing their knowledge with the students in the University's new 
Japanese language and culture program.

Curiosity first brought junior Naoki Takao in to observe the class, and other Japanese students 
also began attending the class. "I think it's interesting. I think I know my culture and language, 
and it is interesting to see it from an opposite side," Takao said.

"I think several (of the Japanese students) are interested in becoming English teachers, and are 
interested in how a language is being taught," Michael Lewis, assistant professor of history and 
instructor of the course, said. He said he also thinks the Japanese students have a genuine 
interest in helping the American students.

"I really want to help," Takao said. The Japanese students probably provided the most help with 
pronunciation, he said. Since Lewis also believes this is one of the biggest advantages the 
Japanese students can offer, he made only one firm rule about the tutoring sessions between 
the native Japanese and the Americans. Only Japanese may be spoken; absolutely no English is 
allowed.

"Although in the beginning they (American students) will have limited vocabulary, it will force 
students to expand their vocabulary," Lewis said. In the tutoring sessions the students continue 
practicing the lessons they have been learning in class. Sophomore Kerry Malzner had no 
background in Japanese before she enrolled in the class but plans to participate in the exchange 
program with Hosei University in Tokyo during the summer.

Sophomore Sara Dejoode also plans to go to Japan on the summer exchange. "At first it will be 
hard speaking only Japanese. We don't know much vocabulary, but it will be good in the long 
run," she said.

The Japanese students can get a better idea of American perceptions of their home. "Sometimes 
we take for granted something others find strange or curious," Takao said. Americans are 
sometimes fascinated by a detail which he would never think about, he said.

"They (the Japanese students) get insight into what Americans see as Japanese culture," Lewis 
said. "It's unique for them to see it from an American perspective." In addition American 
students get feed-back from the Japanese students about the information they receive in class. 
The Japanese students can contribute to discussions on Japanese culture and offer opinions on 
the differences and similarities between traditional culture and modern Japanese thinking.

"It gives us a firsthand glance (at Japanese culture)," Malzner said. "Just because it says it in a 
book, doesn't mean much. They give us a modern view, a student view.'

FOREIGN EXCHANGE of words occurs between seniors Naoki Takao and Kyoko Tomita and 
freshman Bill Newburry following a weekly tutoring session.

JAPANESE PROS, senior Kyoko Tomita and Miko Yamada talk with students in the Japanese III 
class. The tutors stressed correct pronunciation.

RHA WEEK HOSTS
DAYS OF
Wacky ways

As part of the combination Ryle/Missouri Hall team, freshmen Tami Peck and Suzanne Jones 
attempt to tunnel a garden hose through their clothes in the Wacky Olympics held during the 
1983 Residence Hall Association Week last spring.

Similar wild and crazy antics were typical of the Wacky Olympics, which were held in Kirk Gym 
instead of Red Barn Park because of rain. The Centennial/Dobson Hall team won the hose race 
and Centennial Hall took first place overall in the week's events..

FROM ACROBAT TO CHEERLEADER
STUDENT	PERFORMS WITH
The greatest of ease
by SALLY TROUTMAN

Back-springing the length of the court or performing aerial ballet without a net, junior Denise 
Terranova appears to do it with the greatest of ease. Terranova, now a Bulldog cheerleader, had 
an interest in gymnastics when she was young. But she did not anticipate using her ability in the 
circus.

Terranova and her family, natives of Milwaukee, Wise., weren't a circus family -- at least not 
until her older brother Doug decided the circus was for him. Terranova said her brother had 
worked in a zoo and found he held an interest in animals.

"He had wanted to be a vet but didn't like the thought of putting animals to sleep, so he ran off 
and joined the circus," she said.

In the summer of 1980, Terranova's brother suggested that his employer, Carden and Johnson 
International Circus, based in Willard, Mo., consider his sister as a performer in the aerial ballet.

To prepare for the aerial ballet, Terranova set up a trapeze in the family garage and practiced 
daily. "Within a week, they told me I could go up for the show," she said.

Terranova said she made about $75 a day with the circus and that "the more acts you do, the 
more money you get."

"I wouldn't want it to be a lifetime," she said. "But if I had the opportunity to perform again I 
would."

WORK-OUT. Junior Denise Terranova exercises in her aerobics class. Terranova is known for 
cheerleader backflips, but few know of her circus history.

GRADUATE'S INVOLVEMENT IN ACTIVITIES AND
INTEREST IN PEOPLE ALLOW HIM TO SPEND
Majority of time with minority

Dwyane Smith is putting skills that he has been working on all his life to work as the University's 
new minority counselor.

Smith was hired by the University in the spring after graduating with a degree in psychology in 
the fall.

"My main responsibilities are to assist minority students in all facets of their college life and to 
recruit minority students to the University," Smith said.

Smith helps students work out academic, career and other problems. For example, he helps 
students solve roommate or teacher problems and study difficulties.

Smith also acts as recruiter for minority students. "A certain percentage of my time is spent out 
in the field at various high schools in St. Louis, Kansas City and the Chicago area, so I get some 
traveling in there too," Smith said.

Coming from a family of seven, Smith learned to work and get along with people at an early age.

During his high school years he learned to deal with many different kinds of people because he 
was involved in a variety of clubs from football to the pep club to drama.

While attending the University, Smith continued his involvement with people. He was president 
of the Association of Black Collegians, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha social service fraternity, a 
member of the Interfraternity Council, a member of the Psychology Club, and a member of the 
Bulldog Party. He also helped found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored 
People (NAACP) on campus and acted as the organization's first president.

"He has an uncanny way of relating to just about anyone because of his background and 
because he has been involved in so much," senior Bill Baker said.

Senior Diedre Henderson said, "He helped me write my resume and told me to write to 
companies now before I graduate."

Smith said he feels that one of the main advantages of his new job is that he is getting paid for 
something he has been doing all his life -- counseling.

Smith said because he was a student in the fall, it has been easier for him to relate to the 
students and their problems.

"I feel really comfortable with the students and they feel comfortable with me," Smith said. "If a 
student is having academic problems, they feel more at ease telling me that they just didn't 
study than they would someone else."

Baker said, "I feel that he'll be a great asset to minority students because of his age and his 
ability to understand the pressures that the students go through."

CONSULTATION is part of the job of Dwyane Smith, minority counselor. Junior Valerie Holt 
receives advice from Smith who began his job in the spring.

SPOT FOR PRANKS:
FOUNTAIN IS A 
Big splash

A cool splash in the fountain beside the Student Union gives seniors Rosie Drebes and Sue 
Hickey a refreshing break from classes and a chance to talk and catch up on homework. The 
fountain was the focal point of the Union's mall and a popular gathering place for students, 
especially during hot days. Some students even got a surprise dip in the water from practical-
jokester friends. Junior Katie Hession, a student in the summer Japanese language and culture 
program, said the urge to throw someone into the fountain became too strong to resist. "One 
day, we just kinda decided, 'What the heck'?" Hession said. The result was an unexpected bath 
for one of the students. The fountain itself sometimes fell victim to anonymous practical jokers. 
A tall head of bubbles on the water was the evidence of detergent-toting vandals.

INSTRUCTING TEACHERS ON TENNIS TIPS,
HE SPORTS A
Racket-swinging business

When students seek advice and instruction, they go to a faculty member. But who do faculty 
members go to for advice and instruction? Ironically, in one case, a student.

The name of the game is tennis and the student is senior Brian Campbell, tennis professional. 
Campbell was hired through the office of President Charles McClain to provide faculty members 
with free tennis instruction.

Mary Jo White, instructor of music, said she had always wanted to learn tennis. "Brian is an 
excellent teacher," she said. "He is very patient and really seems to enjoy the game."

"A sense of humor is important for a tennis pro," Campbell said. The first thing he said he tries 
to do is make his students feel at ease. Although body movements and reactions are important 
in tennis, Campbell said he is mainly concerned with establishing a consistency of play in the 
faculty member-turned-student. "It's what makes tennis fun -- to hit the ball over the net as 
many times as possible," he said.

Campbell has been playing tennis for 10 years and is ranked 19th nationally in singles and 
seventh in doubles, with partner Carlos Norton, by the NCAA. Campbell is a transfer student 
from Pierce College, a junior college in Woodland Hills, Ca. Campbell has taught tennis in 
Woodland Hills during the summer and is currently teaching at the Thompson Campus Center, a 
recreational facility connected with the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine.

A business administration major, Campbell said he is optimistic about his future. After 
graduating, Campbell is going to play the tennis circuit in Europe "I want to stay there for at 
least a year," he said.

Campbell said he would decide his future career plans after evaluating his performance in 
Europe. If he is not satisfied with that performance, he said he would then go into the business 
world.

Campbell said he knows there are gambles in pursuing a tennis career. "There are risks of 
uncertainty," he said. "I'll have to do what I want to do while I have the opportunity to do it," he 
said,

Division of Language and Literature, a pointer on her grip.

SHADES OF SPIRIT
SPIRIT ARE
On display

Extraordinary basketball fans, senior Frank Evans and freshman Bill Walton back the Bulldogs in 
an unusual way. The Second North Missouri Hall residents donned purple and white warpaint 
and ridiculous hats in an effort to raise crowd spirit. "We got the idea from the bigger 
universities, and we did it to get the crowd going," said Evans. "I think we timed it just right, 
because three other floors from Missouri Hall started coming dressed differently." From the 
middle of January the purple-faced fans showed up at all the home games. Other fans had 
definite reactions to the colorful masquerade. "A lot of people think what we're doing is stupid 
and are not afraid to tell me so," Evans said. "The majority of people think it's neat. You can't 
please everyone." Evans said that the group plans to continue their cheerleading antics. "We are 
even thinking of taking the act on the road," Evans said.

CAREER CLASS
HELPS BUILD
Senior skills

Job opportunities for liberal arts majors is the topic of a video tape for the senior seminar for 
social science majors. Robert Cowan, associate professor of psychology, loads the tape as Chris 
Snyder, Marianne Rogers and Pat Rish watch. The three hour-credit semester course 
emphasized interview and resume-writing skills and tips on civil service exams, senior tests and 
placement papers. James Lyons, head of the Division of Social Science, said the course was 
added in response to indications that there was a need for more career preparation skills.

STUDENT TEACHERS, WHETHER LIVING AWAY FROM HOME
OR COMMUTING, ENJOY THE FREEDOM TO DO
Exactly what they always wanted

The walk from a student's residence hall to class may seem like only a step outside the back 
door, but the classroom is a little farther away for those continuing their education as student 
teachers. Many choose to student teach at a high school in their hometown while others choose 
to stay in Kirksville and commute to a school in the area. In either situation, students believe the 
experience gained from student teaching is worth the distance.

Graduate student Sheila Cochenour was a student teacher at Parkway South High School in St. 
Louis. Cochenour chose that location because she wanted to teach at a larger school, and live in 
an apartment. She had a roommate who was also a student teacher. "It was like I was on my 
own. It was the ideal setting because we were able to talk about our experiences of teaching," 
she said.

Many prefer to student teach at a school which is close to Kirksville. However, many are 
assigned to a school outside Kirksville.

Senior Stan Small, math education major, commuted to Bloomfield, Ia. Small said the 90-minute 
drive, five days a week, for eight weeks was worth every mile. "The experience made me certain 
that teaching is definitely what I want to do," Small said. "I'm glad I had the opportunity. I 
wouldn't want to go without that experience."

For senior Jay Van Roekel, industrial education major, commuting to Centerville, Ia., was a good 
experience. "The idea of waking up and going to something you really like makes the whole day 
bright."

Student teaching at Centerville Junior High involved an eight hour day for Van Roekel. Van 
Roekel taught four classes including a general woods class. "That was my baby there," Van 
Roekel said. "We designed projects, worked with tools and did finishing on projects."

Van Roekel said his student teaching experience was a valuable indication of his future career.

"With student teaching you really find out what areas you are good at and need to brush up on. 
I found out that teaching really involves a lot of work. There's an unbelievable amount of hours 
you can put into it," Van Roekel said. 

CAREFUL PLANNING by senior Jay Van Roekel is necessary as he prepares for his student 
teaching experience, which was during part of the fall semester.

WITH DEDICATION AND INTEREST IN
CAMPUS ACTIVITIES AND CLASSES
4.0 seniors still booking
by TOM STEMMLER

Students with four-point grade point averages supposedly never venture forth from home 
except to go to class or the library. Although this is a notion many students have, it is also one 
that four graduating seniors have spent four years dispelling.

Mary Hanley said dedication is one of the most important qualities necessary to make perfect 
GPA. "It's consistency and dedication. You have to be dedicated,'' Hanley said.

Besides maintaining her four-point, Sherri Swanson is a member of Nemo Singers, Franklin 
Street, the Wesley Foundation and the Pershing Society. She also teaches piano.

"I really am busy in a lot of other things. I don't just sit in my room with my head in a book," 
Swanson said.

When Shawn Eckerle said that he put in the "supreme effort'' he was not talking just about his 
studies. He was chancellor for Delta Sigma Pi, Blue Key Honor Society secretary, a member of 
Pershing Society and Business Administration Club, and a committee member of several other 
organizations.

Keith Greenwood, said he considers his involvement with media on campus and in town as just 
part of being in college.

Greenwood, a part-time disc jockey at KTUF, darkroom technician at ECHO and president of the 
Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, said, "I don't consider my jobs at the ECHO 
and at KTUF work, I consider them classwork, because I'm in them for the experience."

POISED for the pass, senior Shawn Eckerle stands ready for action on the court. Eckerle 
maintained a 4.0 GPA despite many extra-curicular activities.

OVERCOMING INJURIES AND LACK OF FORMAL INSTRUCTION
WATER SKIIER TURNS PRO AND
Creates a big splash at Sea World
by KEITH GREENWOOD

Most people are familiar with the feeling of being "up a creek without a paddle," but how many 
people know the feeling of being on a lake with just a paddle -- being pulled behind a boat?

Senior Mark Ritchhart, a professional water skier, has experienced that feeling many times.

Ritchhart skied for the first time seven years ago at the age of 15. His first attempt was not very 
encouraging. "I didn't like it. It was cold." But he tried the next weekend and made it up on the 
skies on his first try.

Ritchhart taught himself to do most of the tricks he knows.

"I didn't have any instruction on how to do those tricks, and I got banged up a lot trying to learn 
them," Ritchhart said. "I made it a lot harder than it actually was."

The people at the shows were impressed with what Ritchhart had accomplished on his own, and 
four summers ago he got a job skiing in a show on Lake of the Ozarks. He skied there for two 
summers but was injured both summers and couldn't finish either season. Part of his next 
summer was spent teaching skiing at a camp in Maine.

Ritchhart's big break came early in 1983 when he tried out for the skier training program at Sea 
World in Orlando, Fla.

"I tried out and they told me that I could be in the program, but that I really didn't need to. I was 
good enough to ski in the show without going through the training program," he said. "They 
didn't have an opening right away, but then one turned up in the show in Ohio, so I was sent 
there to ski for the summer."

Dan Stewart, supervisor of Sea World's Ohio water show, said he was "very impressed with 
Mark as a skier." He also said Ritchhart helped the show. "We all work very closely together in 
Ohio. Mark made everyone's job a lot easier and more enjoyable."

Skiers at Sea World normally ski two summers before they get offered full-time positions, but 
Ritchhart had a job waiting for him in Florida when he graduated in December.

Ritchhart eventually wants to own a health spa on a lake, so he can still ski. But before he does 
that he wants to win the national title in trick skiing and be able to ski in the biggest show in the 
country. "I've always tried to be the best at whatever I do," he said

LEADERSHIP, SCHOLARSHIP AND PHYSICAL ABILITIES
PLACE STUDENT MARINE IN
The ranks of outstanding recruits
by TRACY DREESSEN

The thought of U.S. Marine Corps Officers Candidate School might make one think of boot camp 
-- rigorous workouts with push-ups galore, and enough school work for two good students. But 
one student, senior Rick Grabowski, worked hard enough to finish in the top five of his class.

When he started, Grabowski knew of the hard work. He had gone through basic camp in the 
enlisted U.S. Marine Corps and had continued for four years. During the 10-week course at 
Quantico, Va., last summer, Grabowski took a variety of subjects. There were courses in physical 
fitness, infantry skills, land navigation, military customs and courtesy, and a writing course.

Special recognition is given to the candidate who demonstrates outstanding traits as a leader. 
The United States Marine Corps' Commandants' Award began in 1957 to recognize those 
candidates at OCS in the areas of leadership, academics and physical fitness.

"When I got there, I just wanted to get through it," Grabowski said "About halfway through, I 
saw I had a chance for the award. It made me work harder. My prior experience in the service 
helped out quite a bit." 

Grabowski ranked as the highest recruit with an overall score of 98.14 percent. He also had the 
highest overall score in the leadership and academics categories. "They (the five recipients) 
aren't ranked together, but if they were Rick would be the number one man in the nation out of 
all five," Captain Clem Matylinski, a U.S. Marine Corps said.

A DISLIKE FOR TYPICAL FEMALE-ORIENTED CLASSES INFLUENCES
INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY MAJOR TO PROVE THAT
Woman's place can be in the shop
by STEVE WILLIS

She's a minority but that's all right with her. For senior Denise Bowman, being the only woman 
in most of her major classes is nothing strange. Nor is it a problem for her.

Bowman, whose major is industrial technology with an electricity/electronics option, said her 
attitude toward being the only woman in her class has changed since her freshman year. "At 
first, I thought I had something to prove," she said. However, she said she has grown to feel a 
great deal of camaraderie with the men in her classes.

There are even some humorous aspects to Bowman's experiences as the minority. "I'll walk into 
a room the first day with all those guys in there, and... silence," she said.

Also, Bowman said she was amused by reactions of the men in her classes when they realized 
they had said something "unfit" for a woman to hear. "I think it's kind of funny myself. 
Sometimes I think it intimidates the guys and the teachers more," Bowman said.

Her interest in electronics came about in a rather unique way. When she was in junior high 
school, she said, she correctly answered a question her father had in his electronic class. Her 
curiosity influenced her to enroll in an electronics course in her vocational school. Satisfaction 
from the course and encouragement from her instructor helped her to make the decision to 
major in electronics.

Bowman said she never was interested in "traditional" female-oriented classes in high school. "I 
hated home ec. in high school," Bowman said.

After graduation, Bowman said she hopes to go to a large city and work as an electronics 
technician or field representative for a major corporation. The move from a male-dominated 
occupation holds no fear for Bowman. "I don't see any really big problem," Bowman said. "It will 
take a while to establish myself. Now I think the situation is calming down, and it's not so much 
a novelty for a woman to be working in this field."

MAN AND MACHINES has an exception to the rule -- senior Denise Bowman. Bowman was the 
only woman in most of her industrial technology classes.

FINE TUNING requires the attention of senior Denise Bowman as she works on a project for a 
class in her chosen field.

PART-TIME TEACHING GIVES
GRADUATES TO EXPERIENCE
Pace and place
by MARK GANDY

How would you like going to a class only to learn that the instructor is fresh out of college and is 
about your own age?

Graduate students Teresa Wood, Sandra Armstrong, Vicki Kijewski and Randy Mikel, are all 
teachers and students.

"I consider teaching as one of my classes," Wood said. "I prepare for my teaching classes just 
like I do my graduate classes."

"Last semester, I spent hours and hours making up a test. I never thought I spent more time 
making a test than studying for a test. This semester, I hope teaching will be easier," Armstrong 
said.

"Sometimes, I find myself putting in 10 to 12 hour days and then not having enough time to 
study," Mikel said. TPTAIs and graduate students have found that teaching classes in which 
friends are students can pose some unusual situations.

"One of my ex-students asked me on a date earlier this semester," Armstrong said.

"At first it was hard teaching students that I had classes with as an undergraduate," Kijewski 
said.

"I had a few friends in my classes and they still look at me as a fellow student," Mikel said.

TPTAIs and graduate assistants are considered part of the faculty. However, these graduates are 
also taught by some of their fellow faculty members.

On the other hand, Wood said she does not have a problem being both a teacher and a student 
at the same time.

"I have found it amazing that my teachers have the same amount of respect for being their 
fellow colleagues and their students at the same time," Wood said.

Despite the conflict that can occur as a teacher-student, overall, TPTAIs believe that they are 
greatly benefitting from their teaching experiences.

"I like working with students that want to learn because they are paying money to learn," Mikel 
said. "This is unlike high school, because when I was student teaching, some students could have 
cared less in what I was trying to teach."

"I like the idea of showing my superintendent that I have had teaching experience other than 
student teaching," Kijewski said

AGENDA for a speech contest is discussed by William Corbin, former visiting associate professor, 
and Fred Ochs, temporary part-time assistant instructor.

PART-TIME INSTRUCTOR ACTS THE PART
THROUGH	NUCLEAR	DISASTERS AND
'Mississippi' trials
by LISA CROSSWHITE

WITH A CRITICAL GLANCE, Patricia Severns, temporary part-time instructor, works as executive 
director for a Travellers Community Theatre play.

"The Day After," a controversial television film broadcast November 20, dealt with the subject of 
nuclear war. Many feelings motivated millions to watch the film. But James Severns, professor 
of dramatics, watched it "to see my wife beg for food."

Patricia Harris Severns, temporary part-time instructor, was cast in the production as a woman 
who begs for food for her children after her hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, is destroyed by a 
nuclear blast. Originally, the scene she was in had her speaking a few lines, but ABC shortened 
the movie by more than two hours, and the footage she was on was left lying on the cutting 
room floor. Seconds of the scene, however, were included in the final version of the film; Mrs. 
Severns was among those in a crowd seizing a food wagon.

"I've been acting for over thirty years," Mrs. Severns said. "My career went through a lull when 
my children were growing up and I'm only now re-starting it." She also teaches speech courses 
at the University.

"I usually hit regional theater auditions," she said. "And my agent sends me up for 
advertisements (commercials). I don't belong to Screen Actors Guild or Equity (actors' unions) 
and when you belong to a union the auditions open up for you. You have to remember, for 
every ten auditions you go to, you may get one job."

"I did get one call from an agent that wasn't an ad; it was a guest appearance on the "The 
Mississippi" (television series)."

"The role in "The Mississippi" came quickly and she had to go out of town for the filming," Dr. 
Severns said. "She had agreed to babysit our two-year-old grandson, it was Homecoming, and 
we had a houseful of people. I had to care for everyone while she ran off to make a movie!"

"The fun part was calling him and saying, 'Honey, business is going to run longer. Do you mind 
taking care of things for a while longer?'" Mrs. Severns said

PANTY RAIDS, CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS AND
TWELVE YEARS AS CAMPUS MOM
Director has guided growth
by MARY JO SCHMIDT

She has encountered everything from streakers to panty raids. She has been thrown into the 
showers by a bunch of rowdy young men in Missouri Hall. She has survived this and much more, 
yet her only comment was, "It was fun."

Ruth Myers, affectionately known as "Mom Myers" during her years at Missouri Hall, plans to 
retire after this year at the age of 66. Myers has been with the University for 12 years. She was 
first hired in 1972 and served as assistant head resident in Missouri Hall until 1977. She then 
became director of Grim Hall.

Myers, originally from Packwood, Iowa, decided to come here when her husband passed away. 
"I knew I had to make a living somehow, so when the job opening came up, I took it," she said.

Ron Gaber, director of residence life, said that Grim was an athletic hall in 1976, the year before 
Myers became director. "There was not much left of the hall after that year," said Gaber, "but 
through the efforts of Mrs. Myers, the physical conditions improved immensely."

"It was a mess," Myers said. "We had to completely redo the place. We replaced the carpet and 
curtains, fixed the doors that wouldn't shut, and purchased our first washer and dryer. It was a 
step-by-step yearly improvement. We are still making improvements to this day."

Myers said that people just don't realize how nice the hall is now. "We take it for granted," she 
said, "but it wasn't always this way. Nobody could understand how horrible it looked. I'm really 
proud of it now." 

Grim Hall houses only women, provides a quiet study environment, contains the highest grade 
point average of any other hall, and has the highest rate of program attendance.

Junior Dee Dee Dodds has lived in Grim for three years. "A lot of people think Mrs. Myers is 
strict, but I don't," she said. "She does make sure the rules are followed. She's caring about 
students and helps us with our problems. She knows more about us than we think. I really like 
her."

Junior Donna Hoaglin has known Myers for two years. "I like to play cards with her. I think she's 
strict sometimes, but she'll stick up for

for anybody who lives here.''

"I think she tries to be harder than she really is,'' junior Marty Brown said. "She's friendly and 
helpful with problems. She's like anyone else's grandma."

"The person that has something negative to say about her is probably the person who did't take 
the time to go and talk with her,'' Gaber said.

She has many things to keep her busy after retirement. Her room is filled with numerous 
buttons she has collected, as well as macrame and other crafts she has done herself. She 
collects antiques and enjoys walking, bicycling and reading.

Gaber said that Myers provides good perspective for students because she's been here long 
enough to see the changes that have taken place. "Her perspective is valuable," he said. "It's a 
resource we'll all miss."

"Nobody realizes the changes I've seen," Myers said. "For example, we used to have no 
intervisitation, and we used to check the rooms once a week to make sure they were clean. I've 
found that every year is a different year."

Myers said she had a lot of good experiences at Missouri Hall before moving to Grim. "It was 
fun," she said. "I remember when I was an RA in Missouri Hall. The boys were making a lot of 
noise, so I went to see what was the matter. When I got to the end of the hall, I found a boy 
standing there with only a blanket around him. 'Mom Myers,' he said, 'they won't let me in.' 
There were about 20 boys inside the room, and one of them shouted, 'What's the password?' I 
said, 'Mrs. Myers.' I can still hear that boy saying, "Oh my God, that's good enough for me!' I've 
laughed over that for years," said Myers.

Myers has no definite plans on what she will do after retirement. "I'm still deciding where to 
live," she said. "I do know that I'm ready to quit. Last year I just wasn't ready, but now I think it's 
about time to look out for Mrs. Myers for a change."

"I'm going to write a book on all the funny things that have happened and all of the changes in 
the University," Myers said. "That's one of my goals after retirement."

Myers said that her retirement will definitely be a change in her life, because she has been so 
used to living around people for 12 years. "It will be an adjustment," she said.

"I'm going to have a lot of good memories. I'm very satisfied with establishing a study hall and 
making it a success. I'm proud of it ... I'm very proud of it."

UNIVERSITY PERSONNEL COMPETE FOR
FUN AND EXERCISE IN
Court action pursuits
by MIKE ODNEAL

The early Saturday sun casts long streaks of warm light across the worn, creaky floorboards of 
Kirk Gym. It's 7:30 in the morning, but even at this young hour the old gym echoes with the 
sounds of bouncing basketballs, rattling backboards, and squeaking tennis shoes. The players 
that get up this early have got to be dedicated to their sport, because 7:30 on Saturday morning 
does not exist in the conscious lives of most students.

Yet this group of dedicated basketball players is not students at all, but members of the 
University's faculty and administration. Every Saturday morning, bright and early, these men 
leave their business suits in the closet, don their shorts, sweat socks and T-shirts and head to 
Kirk Gym for their own fast-paced brand of hard-nosed basketball.

"It's become almost a ritual," said Terry Smith, dean of students a Saturday morning regular 
since 1974. In addition to Smith, other regular players include Greg Wright, staff assistant in 
public relations and index adviser; Werner Sublette, associate professor of economics; Bob 
Weith, assistant director of housing; and Stuart Vorkink, associate professor of political science.

Vorkink is given the credit for starting the Saturday morning games several years ago. "In 1973, 
Dean (of Instruction, Darrell) Krueger and I got together regularly to play one-on-one. Then, in 
1974, Terry and Werner joined us. Over the years, we've had a group of about 30 different 
players," Vorkink said.

"It's my only regular chance for exercise all week, to get out from behind the desk. People have 
a tendency to sleep away Saturdays. This (playing basketball) starts my day out early. Then I can 
go home and get some more work done," Wright said.

"I like the camaraderie and competitiveness," Sublette said. "Everyone goes all out."

So, every Saturday morning, Kirk Gym echoes with the sounds of hustling feet and enthusiastic 
yells. After an hour and a half of intense play, the sweat and sore feet signal the game's end. The 
tired players abandon the creaky wooden floorboards and once again Kirk Gym is silent in the 
early morning sun.

TIME OUT is taken by Terry Smith, Dean of Students, during the weekly Saturday morning 
basketball game. The games have been a tradition since 1974.

"IN PLAY,"Werner Sublette, assistant professor of economics, pushes past Terry Smith, Dean of 
Students. 8ublette's son, Jay, watches in anticipation.

ACTIVE AIDE
PART OF THE
Power Sect
by GARY GLASFORD

For some people, setting and attaining goals provokes feelings of fear and intimidation. But not 
in Kathy Rieck.

As assistant to President Charles McClain, Rieck's job has evolved from a strictly secretarial 
position to one of wide administrative influence. But as a 1973 graduate of the University with a 
degree in business education, Rieck said she was ready to accept a teaching position.

"At that time teaching seemed to be the way to go," Rieck said. "I did not want to teach but I 
accepted the degree. I like a lot of activity and would be bored with a routine job."

After she graduated, however, Tom Rodgers, then assistant to President McClain, hired Rieck for 
a secretarial position. He immediately began training her for the position he knew he was about 
to leave.

Although she keeps a low profile, her job involves more than handling correspondence. She has 
been hostess to" many of the school's celebrity guests, helped in the final selection of head 
football coach Jack Ball, and was instrumental in coordinating the telephone system when it was 
installed in 1981. She also works closely with the Board of Regents. "When I'm out of town, 
she's responsible for the continuity of decisions that need to be reached immediately," McClain 
said

DETAILS of a project are discussed by President Charles McClain and Kathy Rieck. Rieck has 
played a vital role in many campus decisions.

The Group Process

In the constant search for our own identity, we often seek to equate ourselves with others who

Without looking too extensively, students were able to find at least one organization in which 
they were comfortable.

Those wanting to explore different social opportunities looked into the Greek way of life, while 
those searching for another perspective on religion found a home with one of the campus 
ministries.

Groups gave people a chance to learn about the latest trends in government or honor a slain 
civil rights leader. Group members bucked broncos in rodeos, raised money for charity, drug 
each other through the mud in tug-of-war competitions and called alumni for donations.

Whether the organization existed for the exclusive interest of its members or for the benefit of 
others, the ramifications of their policies were felt beyond the University community. Groups 
were not allowed to use the product logos of local beer distributors that sponsored campus 
activities on posters. Nervous area high school girls obtained a little more confidence as a result 
of a group-sponsored pageant.

Individuals defined the organizations, but often, organizations shaped the individuals. Being 
aware of the myriad of choices allowed students to distinguish achievement from potential.

At first glance, it seemed very innocent -- just a poster advertising an organization's activity. A 
beer distributor was co-sponsoring the event; in return, it got its logo on the poster. However, a 
rule that prohibited the use of the logo created a wave of controversy and spurred both student 
groups and administration into action.

Poster policy stamped out

Last spring, the Board of Regents changed the poster policy, adding the provision that "posters 
must not directly or indirectly promote the sale, use, distribution, or possession of alcoholic 
beverages or narcotic drugs."

Reactions to the new policy plunged the University deep in controversy.

The first intimations of a problem arose when the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils had 
to block out a Miller Beer reference on their posters leaving Seven-Up the only announced 
sponsor of Greek Week activities last spring.

Delta Chi put on a skit during that week ridiculing the beer poster policy, senior Mike Lipper, 
chairman last year of Delta Chi's community service committee, said. At the time, however, he 
said his group had only heard rumors about the policy. It was the next week, when Delta Sigma 
Pi was not allowed to put up its Coors Run posters, that the fraternity learned the policy was not 
a joke.

The professional business fraternity sponsors a yearly run for cystic fibrosis in cooperation with 
the local Coors Beer distributor.

The University's failure to publicize the change or notify any of the campus organizations 
disturbed members of Delta Sigma Pi.

"That ticked us off more than anything," senior Colleen Ritchie, last year's Deltasig community 
service chairwoman, said.

The posters were identical to those used the previous year before except for the change of date 
and time.

"We thought it (getting the posters stamped) was a matter of routine," Ritchie said. "Then we 
were told we couldn't put the posters up with Coors name on them. I wish we had been told 
before we had several hundred posters printed up." Ritchie said the lack of on-campus publicity 
hurt participation in the event.

By mid-April, the University was getting statewide publicity about the issue. An article appeared 
in the Kansas City Times in which instructor of mass communication Jim King claimed the policy 
violated students' First Amendment rights and Dean of Students Terry Smith was quoted, "If 
somebody wants to take me to court to decide it, fine."

The Student Senate appointed a special committee to study the problem and attempt to work 
out a compromise between student organizations and the administration.

During October elections, the senate took a poll of student opinion on the policy. The results 
showing 72 percent of students responding opposed to the policy were presented to Dean 
Smith.

Smith was neither impressed with nor concerned by the results, said senior Tony Klote, 
chairman of the Student Senate poster policy committee. Klote said, Smith refused to discuss 
the matter further. Smith said he had given the press and the senate ample explanations for the 
policy change and he was tired of retracing the same ground.

In the meantime, student service organizations were having difficulty finding sponsors for 
community service activities.

Many organizations complained to the senate committee that beer distributors no longer 
wanted to sponsor activities if they could not get publicity for doing so. Other sponsors were not 
willing or able to match the funding beer distributors had provided.

Delta Chi asked Pepsi to sponsor its United Way Run but was unable to guarantee Pepsi a 
minimum of 100 runners. Schwartz Brothers agreed to sponsor the run, but the name "Old 
Milwaukee" could appear only on posters put up in town.

"We marked over the name two times and the Student Activities Office still refused to stamp 
the posters. We finally had to cut the name out of the posters to satisfy them and they (the 
posters) really looked scruffy," Lipper said.

Delta Chi's anger was fueled by the fact that only one week before an off-campus group had 
been allowed to put up posters advertising the Atlas 10,000 Meter Run sponsored by Pabst with 
the beer distributors merely marked over, Lipper said.

The campus chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi drafted a 
resolution calling on the administration to rescind the policy. Senior Keith Greenwood, 
president, said the Society was concerned about possible violations of the First Amendment 
because the policy referred only to a select group of products. The matter appeared to be a 
stand-off between the students and the administration until January when several things 
happened in rapid succession.

First, the Index printed an article saying the senate had contacted the American Civil Liberties 
Union and the ACLU had offered its assistance

to any student or student group that wanted to legally challenge the plicy.

Third senior Kevin Smith, third senate president, requested a meeting between University 
administrators and senate representatives to discuss a number of concerns including the beer 
poster policy.

At this meeting, McClain suggested that the University budget funds for Organizations' 
community service activities and let the senate distribute the money. He announced he 
personally would like the policy of stamping posters abolished and the attention of students and 
administrators focused on the problem of commercialism on campus instead of whether the 
posters had to be approved before they could be put on campus. Three days later the Dean of 
Students gave McClain a list of recommendations for changes in the poster policy.

Within two weeks, Klote was given a copy of a new proposed posting policy for presentation to 
the senate. The proposed policy deleted any provision for stamping of posters, dropped the 
reference to alcoholic beverages and narcotic drugs and changed the punishment for violation 
of the posting policy from loss of posting privileges to progressive disciplinary action against 
offending organizations. It also deleted provisions that posters on division office or residence 
hall bulletin boards must be approved by the appropriate office.

Klote said he thought the administration decided to drop the beer poster issue upon realizing 
the policy was not having the intended result: the curtailment of competition between beer 
distributors on campus. Although distributors were not sponsoring as many organizations' 
events, they were spending the same amount of money in other ways to reach students.

Jerry Smith was quite candid in admitting the change was occasioned by the administration's 
concern the issue would end up in court.

"You want something really, really, really hon-est?" he said. "The issue was so trivial compared 
to the other priorities of this institutution that it wasn't worth continuing the fight. Certainly it 
wasn't worth escalating the fight into a potential lawsuit."

"When the students simply said, 'We are not going to give up on this issue,' we said, 'Fine'. We 
will change it because we've got lots more important things to do. We don't want to be wasting 
our energy on it and you shouldn't be wasting any more of yours either."

The deletion of the stamping provision came as a complete surprise to the senate. Klote said 
that no one had ever requested stamping be abolished. The committee was seeking only 
permission allowing indirect advertising of beer or beer distributors by announcing their 
sponsorship of campus related activities.

"We were between a rock and a hard place and we were willing to compromise. They came out 
and changed the whole ball of wax."

"I think it came directly from President McClain," Klote said. McClain had announced publicly 
that "stamping of posters is archaic and probably should be abolished."

The Dean of Students and the senate agreed the acid test for the new policy will come during 
the Student Senate elections, historically a time when people have put posters everywhere on 
campus.

"I would suspect that if there aren't any significant problems, we'll just make this a permanent 
policy," Smith said. "There is a possibility we could return to the poster policy as it was, if it gets 
like it was a year-and-a-half ago. Then there might be a re-evaluation of the laissez-faire policy."

For a month in the fall, students and faculty phoned home for money. Only it was not their 
home. Or their money. It was, instead, a nationwide canvass of alumni. The result was a step in 
preparing the university to meet the demands of the 21st century.

Long-distance fund assistance
by MARY JO SCHMIDT

"Hi! This is Kristy Jones. I'm a student volunteer at NMSC! and I'm calling about the Tel-Alumni 
Project. Are you familiar with Tel-Alumni?"

This year was the fourth year of Operation 1990, which is the University's endeavor to form an 
endowment fund of $2 million by the year 1990. Tel-Alumni, which took place from Oct. 23 to 
Nov. 17, is the annual fund-raiser in which student volunteers call alumni and ask for donations 
to the fund.

The money raised is to be divided into several areas of need. Part of the money is to go toward a 
variety of work-scholarship programs for students and research stipends as well as other 
student scholarships.

Another portion of the money is targeted toward faculty research and development to ensure 
that the best teachers are retained for academic programs.

The final portion of money is to be set aside for unrestricted use as part of the general 
University fund to be used wherever the need is greatest.

Currently, because of past alumni support, the development fund has grown to $950,000. 
Operation 1990 set its fourth year goal at $83,000. The Tel-Alumni portion of the goal netted 
$73,650, and the addition of $31,000 raised in an advance drive overwhelmingly met the fund 
drive goal. "We sent a mailing out in late July and early August offering an Alumni Directory to 
everyone who donated $15," David Clithero, staff assistant for Alumni Development, said.

The directory is an address listing of everyone who graduated as far back as the records go -- 
about 1867. Names are listed according to alphabetical order, according to year of graduation, 
or according to the person's geographical location.

"A donation of $10 was requested for subscription to the Nemoscope, an alumni magazine 
issued four times a year," Clithero said. "The material in the magazine is a lot like the Index. 
Timely issues such as Homecoming are included."

Much of the success of the Tel-Alumni project depended not only on the alumni, but on the 
individual student callers and the groups they represented.

Clithero said that those people who purchased the magazine or directory were not called back.

During the first week of the project, organizations from the divisions of Business, Home 
Economics and Fine Arts called alumni to seek pledges. The second week, service organizations 
called, and the third week, Greek organizations called. During the fourth week, which was 
designated All-Star week, the top five out of 30 individual callers and the top four  out of six 
organizations were determined.

On the last night of the project, the top 30 individual callers competed for the top five prize-
winning positions.

"All of these students were those who have raised $200 and up," Clithero, said

"About 40 students were eligible to compete, but only 30 could make it." 

Senior Joe Lightfoot was an individual competitor in All-Star Week.

"The phone calls went extremely well, overall. Everyone encounters problems with potential 
alumni, but you have to try them all," Lightfoot said. "You'll encounter those that don't want to 
give, and also those that do want to give. Those that do want to give make it all worthwhile." 

Sophomore Mary Ann McMasters had similar feelings. "It's always going to happen. People are 
going to hang up on you. One lady I called hung up on me right when I told her where I was 
from," she said. "But other people are really nice and want to know what's going on at the 
University. They are the ones that make up for all the others."

"People just like to talk," sophomore Chuck Woods said, "This is my fourth time calling people, 
and I've noticed that a lot of the older people like to hear about the University. They can't 
believe there's 7,000 students now."

Senior Greg Brown also felt that talking to alumni before asking for a pledge is the best 
approach. "You have to approach them sincerely," he said.

"Don't go straight for the wallet. If you make them feel comfortable and tell them about the 
University before giving the sales pitch they're likely to be much more receptive." 

CALLING CARDS for alumni are sorted by Michael Reiser, instructor of business administration, 
during Tel Alumni Division of Business week.

Value added used to be a term tossed around by University administrators, with no concrete 
meaning to most students. But as it grew from philosophy to practice, it took shape and made a 
place for itself in the reality of academic life. Yet that was not the full extent of its influence. 
Value added also meant a new way of looking at one's social life.

The (grade) point of no return
by KAREN GORDY

The term value-added no longer has vague connotations that once puzzled students. Both 
students as individuals and those involved in organizations are beginning to feel the effects of 
the program.

"With the greater emphasis on grades, it's more different for members to pursue academics and 
organizations with the same intensity as in the past. Generally if they're (students) not happy 
with their grade point averages, they'll spend more time studying. I think the change makes 
good grades more meaningful," Vonnie Nichols, director of student activities, said.

"I don't think people have dropped out (of student Ambassadors) because of value-added, 
because it is more like a class. It only takes about an hour a week. But I think its the only 
organization I'm in that I can say that about," senior Tony Klote, Student Ambassadors president 
said.

Student Senate president, senior Kevin Smith, said that several people have resigned from the 
Student Senate this year because of time constraints and class loads.

"I thought it was commendable that they were the caliber of people who would resign if they 
were concerned that they weren't doing as much as they wanted to for Student Senate," he 
said.

"Our (Sigma Tau Gamma), grade point has gone down, but we're working on it. I don't know if 
value-added is a direct cause, but school is tougher since the value-added program began. It's 
harder to get an A, but it's just as easy to get a D," junior Chuck Scalise, Sigma Tau Gamma 
president, said. Scalise said that Sig Taus have the highest minimum grade point requirement 
(2.4) for membership of all social fraternities. Each year, over $2500 is donated by Sig Tau 
alumni for scholarship.

Many organizations have incentive programs to help members keep their grade point averages 
up.

Delta Zeta has a "study buddy" system where pledges and actives with the same major study 
together. They also keep a chart on which members record good grades received on tests and 
projects, senior Lisa Heath, Delta Zeta president, said.

The Association of Black Collegians offers student tutoring match-ups at the beginning of each 
semester. "We make our own list of tutors, and check the ones in the residence halls and A/H," 
sophomore Marcia Thomas, ABC president, said.

Value added seems to have effected the number of people pledging fraternities and sororities. 
Fall 1983's rush was the smallest ever, probably because of new policies put into effect by 
Panhellenic and Interfraternity Councils, said Nichols.

Only 62 women pledged sororities in fall 1983's pledge season, compared to 94 in fall 1982. The 
number of men who signed up to pledge a fraternity was down from 213 in fall 1982 to 149 in 
fall 1983.

The Panhellenic Council's new regulations require a 2.5 grade point average for eligibility to 
pledge. Prior to the institution of the new policy, a 2.0 GPA was required.

"The new rush program gives the fraternities better information about the people interested in 
pledging," senior John Bell, IFC president, said.

IFC's new policy includes two informational assemblies at the beginning of formal rush, and a 
new registration process. Interested men must pay a fee to sign up for formal rush. They receive 
registration cards and are required to sign academic waivers which make a print-out containing 
ACT scores, high school GPA, class rank and University GPA (if one exists) available to fraternity 
presidents and rush chairmen.

"Because of the new (IFC) policy and value added, spring pledge classes will become larger, and 
fall classes smaller. That's the opposite of what it's been in the past," Bell said.

Panhellenic Council president junior Suzanne Blair said she feels that the new policy will be 
beneficial for sororities.

"By raising the standards, rush will bring in a different type of girl -- one who's more conscious 
of her grades. I think it will make sororities put in more scholastic programs to emphasize 
studying more," Blair said.

Through an evening of fun, international students share
World Views
by PHIL ADAMS

At a time when conflicts between neighboring countries fill the news, members of 31 different 
nations came together on campus Nov. 17th to share a bond of commonality and friendship. 
They brought examples of traditional dress, handmade art and other displays from their 
respective cultures to the 50th Annual International Night, held in the Georgian Room of the 
Student Union.

Several hundred people took in colorful displays from 23 countries and a talent show in which 
members from 11 nations sang, danced and recited poetry from countries as diverse as 
Bangladesh, Japan, Chile and Taiwan.

Organized and presented entirely by 65 members and friends of the International Students Club, 
the night's theme was "Love is Getting Stronger and the World is Getting Smaller." Forty-eight 
students performed a variety of acts from a	demonstration of Tae Kwon Do from Korea and 
Calypso folk songs to exotic Chinese and Latin folk dances, although the most moving part of the 
show was a song composed and performed especially for senior Eduardo Hurtado, the Chilean 
student who collapsed Oct. 31 in Violette Hall and was hospitalized.

One of ISC's sponsors, E. C. Jones, visiting assistant professor of science and one of the 
participants in the talent show, said, "The biggest job (for the evening) was organizing the 
entertainment." But those who attended appreciated the effort made. Kirksville resident Irene 
Hickman said this was the third year she's attended International Night and that it gets better 
each year. Another Kirksville resident, Rose Parmley, an NMSU alumna, said, "This is the fifth 
year I've been. It (the show) seems to improve every time with more visual aids and films."

Rashid Malik, ISC president, said he hopes everyone will come to a better understanding of just 
what an "international student is through these types of activities. "International students aren't 
just people with dark skin running around. Americans are international students, too," he said.

SPICE OF LIFE from South America is presented by freshman Sofia Jimenez at International 
Night. Jimenez performed a dance from her native Colombia.

Student nurses 
administer doses of
Health information

What is the future for nurses? Dr. Elsie Simms, head of the Division of Nursing, said nurses 
should "anticipate and act" upon the future needs in the field of nursing. This is what student 
nurses did during their week of activities from October 17-21.

Senior nursing major Marta Burrow said, "SNA week is a promotional week for Student Nurses 
Association, advertising that we are here as a resource for the community and campus if we are 
needed."

Our goal is to promote the concept of health and maintenance to the community and campus," 
said senior Joni Holloway.

Freshman Beth Mackey said SNA week is beneficial. "It gives the student nurses the opportunity 
to make the campus and the community aware of their enthusiasm about nursing."

"Every year we try to get more things to do. The main thing is get the people involved within the 
university and the community," said junior Jodi Miezio.

October 17 was the first night of the two-night course offered in cardio-pulmonary 
resuscitation. Burrow, one of the instructors of the course, said, "We've had an overwhelming 
response for CPR courses." There were 26 people enrolled in the class. However, many 
interested in the course could not take it because of lack of instructors and space in the classes.

Miezio said she feels CPR classes will become a semester activity that would provide an 
opportunity for freshman nursing students who are mainly enrolled in general education 
courses to become more involved in the health services.

The third annual Health Service Career Day was held Thursday. Forty-five recruiters from health 
services came and talked to students as future prospective employees.

During SNA week, student nurses tried to make everyone aware that student nurses were ready 
to be of service not only to the campus but also to people in the community. Burrow said, "This 
is the most successful week we've ever had."

NEMO Singers 
usher Christmas 
in with candlelight,
Story and song

The last few weeks of fall semester brought the usual term papers and final pressures. But the 
NEMO Singers brought Christmas spirit to campus in their 18th annual Christmas Candlelight 
Concert on Dec. 11 and again on Dec. 13.

The audience assembled in Baldwin Hall Auditorium first heard a prelude of carols performed by 
the Brass Choir. Then the house lights dimmed and the audience sat in quiet anticipation of the 
performance to follow.

As if on cue, the music started and the choir members began to march out from the sides of the 
stage. The darkness of the auditorium was slowly filled with the warmth of candlelight. As the 
candle-bearing caravan paraded through the aisles, they sang a medley of carols.

The curtain rose slowly, revealing a set adorned in blue lights. Its backdrop featured trumpeting 
angels and elaborate candelabras on each side of the choir platforms.

"The opening of the concert was very overwhelming and it really set the mood for a final choral 
performance," Thelma Johnson, Kirksville resident, said.

The concert, combining traditional Christmas carols with classical and newer selections, featured 
a narration of the Christmas story by Kathleen Dawson, instructor of music education, and Dr. 
Dale Jorgenson, head of the Division of Fine Arts. The music was "really a mix, but it all went 
with the story," freshman Lisa Crosswhite said.

The 63-member choir began working on some of the material for the concert at the beginning of 
the semester. They worked one hour a day during their classtime; no extra rehearsals were 
necessary to put the production together.

"It (the concert) is a lot of work and a lot of worry, but it's gratifying for them (the singers) to 
experience something so special," Clay Dawson said.

"This is the NEMO Singers Christmas gift to the college and community. It kind of hides the 
commercialization of Christmas. It is what we do best, and we want to do it for someone else," 
Dawson said.

Spartans sponsor 
contest, and make deer
Run for it

"We have to hunt deer because if we don't, they'll become overpopulated and starve to 
death."-- Ethan Allen, junior

Deer hunting, on campus? Hardly -- but Spartans did gain recognition by promoting a hunting 
contest on November 12-20, which was open to the campus and in accordance with Missouri 
hunting regulations.

Approximately 56 people took part in the competition. "Spartans were not trying to make a 
profit on the contest, but used the event to gain recognition on campus," graduate student 
Sharon Jones, treasurer, said.

Senior Ethan Allen, winner of the contest, received a $50 savings bond for getting a deer that 
weighed in, field dressed, at 195 pounds. "I love deer and wild animals but at the same time it 
doesn't bother me to hunt them," Allen said.

Although deer hunting is thought to be a cruel sport by some, Allen said it is a necessary part of 
the conservation process. "We have to hunt deer because if we don't they'll become 
overpopulated and die from starvation and disease," Allen said.

Because of a lack of acorns in the woods, this year deer were forced to use harvest fields and 
orchards as sources of food. "This year there are relatively few acorns in the woods -- the white 
oak trees apparently produced none or almost none," Allen said. "When there are few acorns on 
the ground, deer usually look to crops for food. Hunters this season should have concentrated 
more on harvest fields, orchards or other sources of food."

Spartans was started as an outdoor recreation club. In the past, the group has sponsored 
activities such as boating, canoeing, backpacking and rappelling. The club chose the deer hunt 
project because most of its members are hunters, Jones said.

"I think it (the contest) let people know who we are and the activities we like to do," Jones said. 
"With all the participation and feedback we received, this has added more ideas and 
encouragement on having another deer hunt next year."

Equipment problems cause
Issue that never was
by CHRIS SONDAG

Things did not change much for the Index staff. We are still in the oldest building on campus, still 
faced 7 a.m. deadlines on Thursdays, and still dealt with equipment problems. But it took an 
issue that did not get printed to make the administration aware of some of these problems and 
take the first steps toward remedying them.

Senior Terry Dunseith, assistant editor, said the quality of the equipment has been steadily 
decreasing in the three years that he had been on the staff. He said there had been no service 
contracts with the equipment companies so the staff tried to fix the equipment although they 
had not been trained to do so. However, Dunseith said the biggest factor contributing to 
equipment deterioration was that the room it is located in is not conducive to proper operation 
of electronic equipment. "The room is very damp and temperatures fluctuate from extreme 
heat to extreme cold," he said.

"The equipment is very environmentally sensitive," Terry Smith dean of students, said. "If we do 
get new equipment we're going to have to move it somewhere else."

Greg Wright, Index adviser said this year a limited amount of the budget was allocated for 
equipment purchase and repair, although he later learned it was possible to apply for 
emergency funds.

Smith, who is in charge of the Student Services department, which approves the Index budget 
said he had not been made aware of how seriously deteriorated the equipment was until the 
night everything broke down at the same time.

The week of Dec. 8, it became apparent the equipment would not be fixed on time to meet the 
paper's 7 a.m. Thursday deadline.

The staff then decided to extend their deadline an extra day. "One of the biggest reasons we 
decided to go ahead and publish is we really needed a December issue since we hadn't had one 
since Thanksgiving," senior Jodi Carlson, editor in chief, said.

Carlson and Wright drove to Brookfield Thursday afternoon to use typesetting equipment there. 
When they returned, equipment in the Publication Office had been fixed, but the Index staff was 
not be able to use it until a student recruitment newspaper had finished.  "Campus" was also 
facing a Friday deadline and had priority over the Index for using the equipment.

At 2:30 a.m. Dec. 9, when it became apparent "Campus" would not be finished until later that 
morning, Carlson and Dunseith decided not to publish the paper.

"It just wasn't worth it to stay up yet another whole night for this issue," Carlson said. "We also 
figured that maybe something would finally be done if we took a stand and said we can't 
compensate anymore for equipment."

Friday morning Carlson and Dunseith met with Smith to let him know why the staff decided not 
to go ahead and print the paper. Smith said he went over to Laughlin and saw that the paper 
was "about 85 percent done." Smith said he thought the staff could have tried to print the paper 
on Monday, although much of the news in it would not be current.

Wright said, "I think it was the kind of event that brought the problem to the attention of people 
who could help us out as far as supporting us and providing us with students to work on the 
staff."

Student assistance 
in national politics are
Essential strategies

In an election year, the main concern of student voters is usually education. Two campus groups 
plan to work to see that their particular presidential candidate has more than the opposition's 
share of student votes.

John Austin, the Missouri coordinator for Democratic candidate Walter Mondale's presidential 
campaign, said that university students here do care. Austin said, "The NMSU Young Democrats 
are more active than most other students around Missouri. The other clubs tend to be lethargic, 
but the club here has a good strong core."

Senior Dennis Coons, president of the university local chapter of Young Democrats said that the 
club would be working hard for Mondale's campaign. He said "Our main concern is the 
presidential caucus in Iowa on April 18th."

The Young Democrats travel four times a year to various functions around the state such as 
Democratic Days in Hannibal. The students raise money for candidates by auctioning off political 
memorabilia that is donated by members of the Democratic party.

The Young Democrats also work with the College Republicans to help students participate in 
general elections. The two clubs provide absentee ballots, stamps and envelopes for the 
students. In 1982 over lOO students used this opportunity to vote.

Education is going to be a vital issue in the '84 campaign, Austin said, and Coons feels that this is 
the reason why many students support Mondale. Coons said, "We were severely affected by 
Reagan's cutbacks on education. The Young Democrats weren't as active in politics in 1980. Now 
we're getting more active and supporting Mondale because he supports the students."

Coons is confident that Mondale will win the nomination and election. He said, "It will be a 
tough race but if certain factors such as foreign relations and economy don't change before the 
election, he will win. Mondale has the most experience of all the Democratic candidates and the 
leadership skills to run the country."

The campus chapter of the College Republicans are not planning to be as active as the Young 
Democrats in the presidential campaign.

Freshman Guy Scott, president, said their efforts would mostly consist of "passing out literature 
and wearing buttons." 

Scott predicted that Reagan would definitely win the election although it would be a close race.

There is also a possibility of a debate between the Young Democrats and the College 
Republicans before the November general election.

Junior Susan Plassmeyer, a member of College Republicans, said that the group would spend 
more time helping the national and statewide candidates than the local candidates simply 
because the students are more interested in them.

Senior Tim Bickhaus, another member of the College Republicans, said the group would be 
setting up booths outside the cafeterias and asking students to fill out surveys about their 
political ideologies.

Bickhaus said he was trying to get speakers to come to campus and address interested students. 
Gene McNary and John Ashcroft, candidates for governor, were possible speakers.

Bickhaus said he is looking forward to a debate between the College Republicans and the Young 
Democrats. He said the debate held before the 1980 election was very successful,

CAMPAIGN PLANS for the Iowa caucases are explained by senior Dennis Coons to the Young 
Democrats. The group aided the campaign of Walter Mondale.

Medieval roleplayers help create
Living history
by PATTY LAMB

An anachronism is the representation of some thing, action, or event as existing or occurring at 
a time other than its proper time. The Society for Creative Anachronisms is an organization 
dedicated to the selective recreation of the Middle Ages for educational and recreational 
purposes. It is an eighteen-year-old, world-wide, nonprofit corporation.

The local chapter, the Thousand Hills Shire in the principality of Calontir in the middle Kingdom, 
was started two years ago by a group of Dungeons and Dragons players who decided it would be 
more fun to act out their fantasies than to roleplay in their minds or with pencil and paper. 
Current members are attracted either out of an interest in the arts and crafts of the period or 
the enjoyment of fantasy role-playing.

The only requirements for membership are an interest in the Middle Ages and a willingness to 
dress in period costume. The local chapter presently has about 40 members.

Each member also has a persona. Senior Mark Counts is Lord Grainswadir du Lac, the shire 
Seneschal (similar to president), and a fifteenth century druid. Senior Robin Waggoneris his wife, 
Lady Lorriette due Lac, the shire Mistress of the Arts, and a French Catholic of the same century.

Many members flesh out their personae with extensive researh and fighters especially become 
very involved with their alter-egos.

"People have built biographies of themselves and it's to the depth where they put on the 
costume and...it's no longer Keith Richardson; its Lorell of Shrewsbury," Mark Counts said. 
"Most of the people in the Society we associate with outside our own local group do not know 
him as Keith; they know him (only) as Lorell."

A persona may be European, African, or East Asian from the period extending from A.D. 600 to 
1650. This includes characters from Vikings to early American pilgrims.

Every effort is made to ensure authenticity in the recreation of personae, arts, sciences, 
costumes, and food. Selective recreation, however, allows the Society to omit such things as 
plagues, rats, famines, and, usually, peasants.

Members dress approximately for the period in which their personae live. Counts and Waggoner 
both wear basic tunic styled robes because, Counts said, "Calvin Kleins were not in vogue."

Probably the most visible element of the Society on campus is the fighters. They give 
demonstrations at various University functions and can frequently be seen practicing on the 
Quadrangle. The weapons used are authentic in appearance only, being made out of rattan and 
wrapped with a soft spongy material to ensure the safety of combatants. "We do not duplicate 
the weapons exactly," Counts said. "If we did that, we would kill too many people." Other than 
that, the battles are real, not choreographed demonstrations. Fighters are honor-bound to die 
or surrender if they receive a blow or thrust which would have been lethal or incapacitating if 
delivered with a real weapon.

Society members give demonstrations of medieval costumes, dances, armor-making, and other 
arts and sciences at high schools and especially arranged fairs and tourneys.

When the Society first formed on campus, members were subject to a lot of stares and not 
infrequent cat calls, Richardson said. But as members continued to be "out and about," students 
gradually became desensitized to the strangeness of their garb and now show interest in the 
Society's activities and demonstrations

A change of tune
by LAURIE BARNES

Since its inception in 1974, KNEU, the campus radio station, has taken one strong step forward 
to every two steps backward.

Equipment, money, management, and a definition of the actual function of KNFU seem to be 
some of the problems that stood in the way of the station's stride.

This academic year, KNEU took another step in the form of an internal reorganization. This 
reorganization was aimed at the staff structure which eliminated the station manager and 
program director positions.

The decision to reorganize the staff structure left students involved with KNEU, "in the dark," 
senior Karen Gordy, former station manager said.

Edwin Carpenter, head of the Division of Language and Literature, said the decision was not 
meant to offend those students operating the station but to provide KNEU with direction and 
stability.

The station had been operating for two years without a permanent adviser and he said he felt 
the students were not receiving proper supervision for a learning experience. "KNEU is first and 
foremost a lab," he said.

This fall however, Patricia Robinson, instructor of mass communication, was hired, and, under 
the authority of Carpenter, began working with the station so that it would better fulfill the 
needs of the students in the radio classes and radio practicums, she said.

In order to fulfill those student needs, Robinson said a reorganization of KNEU's staff was 
necessary. "I am technically the general manager of that station. I make the programing 
decisions, the hiring and firing decisions and policy decisions."

Carpenter said the positions of station manager and program director were not phased out 
completely. He said once the positions were defined, they may be returned to the KNEu 
executive staff.

Sophomore Kerry Knox, one of the three KNEU salaried employees, said he was confused about 
some of the circumstances involving the staff structure. "I felt there was a lack of 
communication between the executive staff and the adviser," he said.

Gordy said, "I do feel that if I had had more feedback I could have done a better job. I was a 
student, learning, and as such, I feel that feedback would have helped me."

Senior Jeff Bailey, former KNEU program director, said there were pre-planning problems 
involving station operations that he felt were never solved. He said the job descriptions were 
not clear, which caused a communication problem to evolve between the staff and the adviser. 
Because of the lack of communication, Bailey said, "A lot of guesswork was involved and 
mistakes were made by the staff."

To define KNEU as a "real" radio station would be a misconception because the station was not 
available for people who just wanted to do a radio show. "It's here for students to learn, in the 
radio class, how to run equipment and learn how to be on the air," Robinson said

CORRECT QUOTES are a priority for KNEU news director senior Joe Perez. Perez's position was 
not eliminated in the station's reorganization.

Campus organizations 
join others to give assistance in a
Gift from the heart

There are always stories in the news that tell about people helping people. "This is the way 
people are," Fran McKinney, international student adviser, said. "People tend to join causes if 
they are needed. They like to lend a helping hand."

This seems to be the case with senior Eduardo Hurtado. While walking in Violette Hall after 
class, he collapsed from what doctors say was lack of oxygen to the brain. If it were not for quick 
action by junior Joe Curry, a student that was passing by, his knowledge of CPR and the quick 
arrival of paramedics, Hurtado could have died.

Immediately, Vera Piper and Ruth Bradshaw, instructors of foreign language, started a fund 
drive to help his family with the high bills. Piper said, "We started by talking to students, and 
sent letters to faculty members and organizations. We also contacted businesses in the 
community. The response was overwhelming.''

Bradshaw said, "The students' response has been heartwarming. With so much unrest in the 
world, students still go all out to help someone from a foreign country. It gives you a warm 
feeling."

Many clubs have had bake sales for him. The French Club had a coffee house with the proceeds 
going to Hurtado. The Spanish Club has had two bake sales with all the proceeds going to his 
fund. "On international night, there was even a special table for donations," Rashid Malik, 
President of the International Club, said.

McKinney said, "Donations seem to be coming from all over. We've even had people from his 
hometown in Chile raising money. Many Many are ex-students from Northeast."

"The International Club donated $150 out of the club's fund, which is not that big of a club. 
People kept raising bids on how much to give when we were talking about it," Malik said. Even 
churches become part of the drive. Mary Immaculate Catholic Church in town helped and even a 
church from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, sent money.

On January 19, Hurtado's parents, Gabriela and Eduardo Hurtado, visited the University to pick 
up $3000 in campus and community contributions. The couple came from Chile to transfer 
Hurtado from the University of Missouri Medical Center, where he had been a patient, to a 
hospital in his native country.

"The fund drive is very refreshing. It has opened the eyes of many of the international students. 
They wonder what would happen if something like this had happened to them," Malik said,

GENUINE CONCERN shows on the face of senior Michelle Yost as she interviews the parents of 
Eduardo Hurtado. A check was presented to Hurtado's family.

Experienced player tells about
The political game
by PATTY LAMB

"In politics, it is not enough to have a position; you must know how the game is played. Honest 
men for honest purposes play it the same way as dishonest men for dishonest purposes."

These were observations of Roger Morris in two speeches titled "The 1984 Election: Will the 
Loyal Opposition Please Stand CIp" and "Inside the Reagan Administration: Foreign Policy and 
Bureaucratic Politics." His October appearance was sponsored by the Political Science Club.

Morris served in the U.S. Foreign Service and as a senior staff member of the National Security 
Council under Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, where he worked closely with 
Henry Kissinger. In 1970, Morris resigned over the invasion of Cambodia.

Morris stressed the importance of looking beyond the surface of events to discover what is 
really going on. "Appearances are deceptive," he said. To understand foreign policy decisions, 
"you must become cynical and sophisticated."

One example, he said, of the "shell game" played in Washington involves leaks about CIA 
activities in Central America. The "Washington Post" blamed these leaks on staff members of 
the House and Senate Intelligence committees studying CIA budget requests. These leaks were 
extremely damaging to CIA operations in Central America. As a result, there was considerable 
talk about curbing the power of such oversight committees. Morris said when one realizes the 
leaked information was of such a nature that it could only have come from the CIA itself, 
however, another perspective appears.

Morris said the CIA created the scenario purposely in an attempt to curb the power of its 
adversaries in Congress and thereby gain a freer hand in conducting its affairs.

Much of the nation's foreign policy is actually determined by such internal jockeying for 
position, he said. But foreign policy is not mysterious, or some abstract science; it is the same 
kind of politics practiced at every level of government.

Members of the Political Science Club were pleased with the size of the audience and the 
question and answer periods which followed each session.

Sophomore Charlene Harrison, vice president, said Dr. Morris' remarks sparked some lively 
debate in several of her social science classes. Senior Rashid Malik, president, said, "It was a 
good opportunity to learn what is going on inside and outside various aspects of the American 
government and then learn how to analyze what is going on." 

THE POLITICAL GAME of the 1984 elections and other issues are approached with personal 
insight by Roger Morris, a former White House staff member.

ROTC program
helps potential leaders
Take command
by LISA FITZGERALD

A general held his ragged troops together through a bitter winter at Valley Forge. A counselor at 
the local Crisis Center convinced a distraught woman not to commit suicide. A plant manager 
developed a new production method and persuaded employees it was better than the old 
method.

These people, and others like them, have something about them that makes others want to and 
follow them, want to believe in them. That something is leadership.

The ROTC program on campus is working with students to help them define what qualities make 
a leader and how those qualities can be strengthened. Capt. Paul Spivey, assistant
professor of military science, said a course called Perspectives in Leadership II was designed to 
assess the leadership potential of students.

Four simulations involve scheduling a number of time-consuming conflicting obligations, 
counseling a student in a residence hall, dealing with a discussion in a leaderless group and 
taking care of a residence hall when the hall director and head resident assistant are absent. All 
of these exercises take place in the context of a university setting and they deal with common 
situations on campus.

The simulations test different areas, each test focusing on only a few critical skills. These skills 
are those the United States Army has determined to be desirable in a leader. Spivey said large 
corporations do similar evaluations on management trainee, which cost several thousand 
dollars to complete.

Junior Ann Bernard participated in the leadership assessment. She said, "You learn a lot of 
things about yourself, mainly that you can do about anything if you try."

Bernard said the counseling simulation was particularly useful to her because she is going to 
become a nurse. The counseling skills she learned will aid her on a daily basis on the job, she 
said.

Junior Scott Hoenshel, a resident assistant in Dobson Hall, said the counseling exercise were also 
useful to him because of his position in the residence hall. Hoenshel took the leadership 
assessment course in the fall.

"We started this (leadership assessment program) last year," Spivey said. "We can all take credit 
for it. We were looking for something new to help our program, make it a little more 
interesting."

Spivey said the program is beneficial to students in many areas, not just those in military 
science. The qualities of leadership which are evaluated can be applied to many situations in 
business and other fields. Once a student has completed the program, he has a good idea of 
where he is weak and where he is strong, he said. Senior Jeff Bailey said, "It (the assessment 
program) wasn't presented in a soldier's manner. It was presented in a manager's manner." 
Leadership is a difficult thing to define and the qualities which create a leader require time and 
training to develop. ROTC is helping students do just that.

AT ATTENTION for inspection, ROTC students are examined by capt. Nicholas Mikus with the 
assistance of senior Lisa Winger in the Ophelia Parrish.

Preparations have
Medicinal purposes

Students preparing for professional schools are usually a dedicated group. They have to be. The 
training is hard, the hours of study are long and the competition is fierce.

For the pre-professional student, the hard classes and long hours are just obstacles to be 
overcome on their way to a career which is both rewarding and interesting.

"It's our field of interest," said pre-medical technology sophomore Melody Blakeley. "We're 
willing to do the work needed by taking a lot of science classes with a lot of Laboratory."

Becoming involved in the pre-professional clubs on campus is one way in which students can 
prepare for their professional schooling, as well as their careers. Guest speakers are perhaps the 
most popular means of orientating students. Senior Scott Tanner, member of the Pre-
Osteopathic Club, said speakers "help you get in (to med school) because they inform you of the 
processes."

Senior Lee Shettle, president of the Pre-Osteopathic Club, said, "At the beginning of the year, 
the dean of admissions at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine comes and tells us what the 
admissions committee looks at, including GPA, medical college aptitude test scores and 
references from an undergraduate professor here and an osteopathic physician."

Members of the Pre-Veterinary Club gain hands-on experience through volunteering at Town 
and Country Veterinary in Kirksville. Sophomore John Seiler said the volunteer work "gives us 
experience working with veterinarians and this helps us when we go to apply for vet school." 

For members of the Pre-Medical Technology Club, the one semester seminars required in each 
of their three years in the program are beneficial in various ways. Sophomore Paula Lewis said, 
"Many NMSU graduates return and give seminars on different aspects of the career; they speak 
on what to expect at med-tech school and recommend what classes to take."

Lewis said, "The three-year students do a lot of tutoring within the club. People try to help each 
other out." 

Studying takes up the majority of pre-professional students' time; however it's necessary in 
order to prepare for the obstacle of getting into medical, veterinary or med-tech school. The 
hardest things about being in such a major, Tanner said, are "the tensions and pressures of 
competing. Every time you get a lower grade than someone else in the class, it lessens your 
chance to get into med school."

DEDICATED Pre-Osteopathic students seniors Scott Tanner and Patricia Bell study cells in 
histology lab. Competition was fierce among pre-professionals.

With song and ceremony, 
students and faculty gather in
Tribute to a dream
by LISA BURGER

Shadows flickered off the wall as the choir proceeded into the room bearing candles. The flames 
seemed to symbolize a burning desire among those in attendance to keep a dream alive.

The dream belonged to slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but that dream is also 
shared by many students and faculty, who gathered on a wintry January evening to pay tribute 
to King.

The Association of Black Collegians (ABC) sponsored the ceremony and Unique Ensemble, a 
University gospel choir, conducted the candlelit processional and provided musical numbers to 
honor Dr. King.

The ceremony provided a means of making students more aware of ABC. Sophomore Angela 
Scales, secretary of ABC and coordinator of the service, said, "It enabled students to see just 
what ABC is all about. We are interested in not only servicing black students on campus, but also 
making them more aware and appreciative of their heritage."

The Reverend Chris Jackson, director of the Baptist Student Union at Lincoln University in 
Jefferson City, was the guest speaker. Jackson spoke of the three characteristics prevalent of 
King's life: inspiration, dedication, and actualization.

Organizing the memorial service posed no problems for ABC, Dwyane Smith, minority adviser, 
said. "The only thing we were concerned about was the turnout.

"I was really enthused by it. I felt very pleased that students took time out to come. It shows 
they do care about Dr. King," Smith said.

Perhaps the highlight of the memorial service came when Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech 
was played and a picture of the leader was projected on a screen. Smith said, "Not many people 
have heard the speech in its entirety and I think it struck a chord within the audience."

"I felt emotionally uplifted and I felt a sense of reverence for his memory," Scales said. "So many 
students were young when he was assassinated. Through this program we were able to see 
exactly what he stood for and to realize that without his dedication and work, we wouldn't be 
here today."

The service for Dr. King was not only a tribute to him, but was also a way that ABC could help to 
inform others of King's achievements. "King was an outstanding person; he accomplished a lot," 
Smith said. "Our theme is that struggle continues. Even though Dr. King did a lot for us, there's 
still a lot more to be done." For ABC and the many students and faculty who attended the 
service, the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. still lives on. 

TESTIMONIAL in song is offered by the Unique Ensemble during a ceremony by the Association 
of Black Collegians to honor Martin Luther King, Jr.

Name something that
students do on a weeknight
to raise money for local charity:
Play the feud

As the audience waited, the "Spirited Spartans" and the Student Council for Exceptional Children 
prepared for the contest. A hush fell over the crowd as Eric Holm, instructor of physical 
education and master of ceremonies for the first half of the evening, introduced himself and the 
contestants and went on to explain the rules.

First question -- "Name something students keep in their dorm refrigerator." The Spartans 
answered, won the right to play and the fourth annual Campus Feud was under way.

Campus Feud is sponsored by the Speech Pathology Organization to raise funds for a selected 
charity. Sophomore Renee Taylor, president of SPO, said this year's charity was the Learning 
Center for Handicapped Citizens, located in Kirksville. Approximately $300 was raised for the 
center.

Prizes donated by local merchants were awarded to the winning teams. Taylor said that before 
the feud was held, SPO members "walked around asking different businesses to donate prizes; 
they (the businesses) said they would help us out with what they could." Most of the businesses 
had already heard of the fund-raiser and were very cooperative, Taylor said.

This year six masters of ceremonies were asked to participate instead of only one, as in previous 
year. Taylor said this was done to draw crowds from different areas of the university. With Eric 
Holm, SPO hoped he would draw sports-oriented participants and spectators.

Twenty teams participated in this year's feud, from all areas on cam pus. Senior Dale Linneman, 
Blue Key team member, said, "I thought it was a lot of fun." Senior John Mohan, member of the 
Lambda Chi Alpha team said, "It was a good time for a good cause; I think it was a good idea to 
make money."

A trophy was awarded to the top scorers, while other prizes included cash gift certificates, pizzas 
and coupons.

Wonder what the answer was to the question, "Name something students keep in their dorm 
refrigerator?" The top answer from the students surveyed was beer

Students and teachers 
quiz legislators to gain 
insight on politics in the
Education arena
by TRACY DREESSEN

When educators graduate from college, should they be required to take a competency test? Has 
Proposition C helped funds in the State Legislature? Why is desegregation happening in St. 
Louis? Will merit pay for teachers ever come into effect in Missouri?

These were the main topics for discussion at the forum, "Education Tomorrow from a 
Legislator's Perspective," between Missouri state legislators and future teachers.
The forum, sponsored in January by the Education Division and the Association for Childhood 
Education International (ACEI), was planned in-late October. "We thought we needed to be 
more informed about what happens in the legislature and how their decisions affect education," 
senior Jean Loughman, vice president of ACEI, said.

Speakers at the forum included state Senator David Doctorian and Norman Merrell and state 
Representative Nathan Walker, Robert Fowler and Harry Hill. The speakers were chosen 
because of the geographic region they represent, most of the regions being near Kirksville, 
Elizabeth Evans, assistant professor of education and ACEI adviser, said.

Members of ACEI were in charge of arrangements for the forum, from calling legislators to 
reserving the Alumni Room in the Student Union Building, where the forum was held. "I thought 
we had a real good turnout," senior Julie Belt, president of ACEI, said. "I thought, too, that the 
legislators answered our questions well. As successful as it was, we may plan another one in the 
future." 

Walker also thought this type of forum was important. "It is helpful not only from my point of 
view as a legislator to see what the students are concerned with, but also for them (future 
teachers) to see how we, the legislature, work. These type of things are important." 

The legislators pointed out that communication between themselves and educators can be 
accomplished through professional organizations like the Missouri School Teachers Association 
and the National Education Association. A handwritten letter to state	representatives or 
senators is also an effective way to voice opinions, Walker said.

"It was just an opportunity for students to ask questions and get to know about the legislature. 
It gave future teachers a chance to see how the people that make laws that affect us feel," 
Kathy Wright, a member of ACEI, said

DIRECT AND TO THE POINT, state Rep. Nathan Walker answers a question during the Education 
Forum presentation in the Student Union Building.

Fund-raising for facilities 
to house rodeo animals demands
No horsing around
by SCOTT CHOVANEC

The members wear yellow and black jackets. Most own cowboy hats, and some even chew 
tobacco. Their majors range from business administration to animal science, but one interest all 
these people share is their love of horses. The Horse and Rodeo Club received their charter in 
1979, and has been gaining in popularity ever since.

"We're an organization of people who like to ride and care for horses," senior and club secretary 
Sue McGee said. "Our members are interested in all facets of horsing, rodeo, and show."

There are approximately 40 students in the club. Unlike other chartered organizations on 
campus, the H and R club is not a heavy financial burden on the pockets of it's members; yearly 
dues are $5. The only other requirement is full-time student status.

"I've always been interested in horses," junior and club president Kevin Flood said. ''I really like 
bulls and the idea of riding interested me. We've had horses around my house since I was little."

The H and R Club meets bi-weekly to discuss various events ranging from state wide rodeos to 
fundraising projects. The members get together during the week to practice rope and riding 
skills. Since most of the people own their own horses, their largest problem is finding a stable to 
house the animals. There are no facilities on campus.

"A lot of us have to take our horses back and forth from home,'' sophomore Clinton Douglass 
said. ''Hopefully, some day in the future we can build facilities on campus. We'd like to start up a 
stallion service market, and possibly a horse judging team." 

The H and R Club is not founded by the university, so when club members travel to compete in 
events, they must pay their own way.

"We do everything from cooking chili suppers to hay rides in order to raise money for traveling 
and generaI expenses," adviser Pat Comerford said. Comerford is an instructor of animal 
science, and she has been the club's adviser since its birth.

"Our advisor helps us a great deal," Douglass said. ''She is always there when we need her."

Among the rodeo events are bull-riding, roping calves, and the showing of horses.

"Eventually we'd like to build an arena and house rodeo horses here on campus," sophomore 
Donna Higbee said. ''We've come a long way, and we're optimistic about the future."

Veterans' benefits
by LANA EXLINE

Veteran's Club is a small organization on campus, but its members are striving to make it more 
visible through community and campus service projects, and by working to recruit new 
members.

Veteran's Club was started in 1966 as a support group to help veterans make the transition from 
military life to civilian life.

"The club was originally for the war-time vet, because when they came onto campus, they didn't 
know what they wanted to do," senior Tisha Kincaid said. "The ones that are here now are more 
serious; they have to make the grades to keep their veteran's benefits, so they think they don't 
have time for a club and its activities."

Senior Rush Templeton, bookkeeper said, "Most of our members are not the traditional 18-year-
old college freshmen. Our members are older, and a lot of them have families. And, of course, 
we have all had similar experiences with military life."

Kincaid said, "Hearing these guys talk, any vet would remember those experiences they all had, 
and it's something to build a friendship on. When they come back later, they always remember 
the Vet's Club. We have a long alumni list."

One of the club's campus projects is holding a book exchange every semester. The club charges 
15 percent of the selling price to sort, display, and sell students' hooks. When the sale is over, 
students come back and collect their money.

"It's not always beneficial to us, but it's beneficial to the students, because they can get more 
for their books from us than they can from the bookstores," Kincaid said. "If any students don't 
pick up their money -- and a lot of them don't -- we pick a charity to donate it to. We don't feel 
like we can keep the money, because it really belongs to the students."

Veteran's Club also donates money to the Student Senate emergency loan fund, which aids 
students needing a short-term loan.

Veteran's Club organized several community projects including the first city-wide Veteran's Day 
celebration in November. Members joined the local chapters of the American Legion, the 
Veteran's of Foreign Wars and the University's ROTC in flag-raising ceremonies, both on and off 
campus.

The club also makes donations to the Kirksville Crisis Line. The Crisis Line is operated from 10 
p.m.-2 a.m. daily, and takes calls from people who are trying to deal with drug or alcohol 
addiction, suicide attempts or threats, rape, and child and spouse abuse.

Members are currently attempting to build club membership. They have compiled a list of all 
University veterans, and are trying to contact them.

"We get a list of all the veterans on campus, and we try to contact them all personally," Kincaid 
said. "We tell them about the club and ask them to join."

Ron Reckrodt, president, said, "The club is not strictly for vets. We have social members, too ... I 
think people have the idea that only vets can join."

Templeton said, "We're trying to change our image on campus. I think people have an idea that 
all we do is party. We're really a lot more than that, though. We're here to help other veterans."

BOOKSELLERS, junior David Cavin and senior Duong Dung fill out forms to sell their used books

Social and academic 
involvement is a reason for
Going Greek
by SCOTT CHOVANEC

Every year, thousands of men and women enter various colleges and universities throughout 
the nation. The one common goal that each individual strives for is a degree. But along with the 
academics, many students become involved with outside clubs and organizations. Joining a 
Greek organization is One alternative for students, fraternities provide an individual with an 
opportunity to meet people and learn things about life that cannot be taught in a classroom.

"Most of the pledges we get are freshmen who are away from home and on their own for the 
first time in their lives," senior Jeff Kengott, rush chairman from Tau Kappa Epsilon said, '"he 
Greek system allows a person to find out who they are. Our members compete in I-M 
(intramural) sports, we promote fund-raising drives, and of course there's the social 
entertainment aspect."

"We put posters up to let students know what's going on with the fraternity and when they can 
sign up," senior Mike Lipper, rush chairman for Delta Chi said. "We're trying to give the Greeks a 
different name. We don't want potential pledges to think that all fraternities are good for is 
chasing women and drinking beer. There's more to it than that."

With so many fraternities to choose from, how does the student decide which one is best for 
him?

"We encourage all new students to shop around," sophomore Randy Bailey, rush chairman for 
Phi Kappa Theta said. "We tell them to go to all the frats, learn all they can about the fraternity, 
and then choose the one they would fit in best with."

Pledging a fraternity is not just a "sign-up and you're in" process. It requires the student to meet 
various academic, social, and financial obligations. Fraternities can pledge first semester 
freshmen as long as the fraternity is not on probation. This means the overall fraternity grade 
point average must be at least 2.0. If the fraternity is on academic probation, then the potential 
pledge must have at least 15 hours, and a minimum GPA of 2.2.

"Not everyone who wants to pledge gets in," junior Marty Cox, rush chairman for Alpha Kappa 
Lambda said. "We see how their academics are, how they get along with the other members, 
and if they can afford to pledge.

Whether a person decides to join a fraternity or not is a metter of individual choice. One fact is 
certain: fraternities are some of the many aspects of the college experience.

"I love it," junior Jeff Cook, rush chairman for Sigma Tau Gamma, said. "It was one of the best 
decisions I've made since coming to college." 

PARTY-GOERS freshmen David Sparks, Mike Plant and Phil Murtin discuss the events of the 
evening. The men were recruits at the Pi Kappa Phi rush party.

Organizing 
Junior Miss show 
helped Tri Sigs become
Pageant pros
by JOHN MOHAN

When the stage lights shone on the dazed smiles of 15 teenage girls, members of Sigma Sigma 
Sigma sorority breathed happy sighs of relief from the wings. The Tri Sigs took on the 
responsibility of sponsoring the Northeast Missouri's Junior Miss Pageant in October.

In the past, the Student Ambassadors had run the program, but Katie Steele, associate director 
of admissions and executive director of the pageant, said, "we needed to find a better 
controlled group and the sorority wanted to do it."

The problem many ambassadors had was lack of time, Steele said. ''The ambassadors are a large 
group that meets just once a month and they are involved in many other organizations which 
gave them little time to do such a big job. The sorority, since it's such a close group, made it 
more feasible."

Senior Lori Waggoner, a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma, said, "We were glad to get the 
opportunity to run the pageant. In the past some of our girls (sorority members) were involved, 
and when they were looking for a sponsor, they helped us decide to take it on."

"There was a lot of work involved. We had to do everything from recruiting contestants and 
judges to writing the programs and getting ads for the program," Waggoner said. 

Sponsoring the pageant was good for the sorority, Steele said. "I'm glad they decided to do it. 
They got the chance to make some money, plus they got to meet a lot of people and they 
learned a lot. It was a lot of work but it was also fun. We had a few mistakes, but we learned a 
lot from them and went on. Overall, the pageant went just great. The contestants and parents 
were very pleased and that's the most important thing."

Sigma Sigma Sigma is planning to run the pageant again next year. Steele said, "That is good; the 
pageant will run much smoother next year. We've made mistakes that we won't make anymore, 
and staying with the same sponsor year after year will it make that much better."

Much hard work 
went into the new 
house; now Sig Taus are
Proud to call it home
by KATHY UNDERWOOD

Rumor has it that most college students are poor and always broke. So if that is true, how did 
the oldest fraternity on campus manage to construct a new franternity house which cost over 
$100,000?

"It was almost impossible organizing the effort to obtain the funds. It was also difficult trying to 
get a consensus on what the alumni wanted because everyone seemed to have their own 
ideas," senior Greg Brown, president of Sigma Tau Gamma, said.

Once everything was agreed upon, construction began in May and throughout the summer, and 
members of the fraternity donated their services until the house was finished in August.

"It took a lot of work from everyone to build the house. I lived in the old house but the new 
house is special and we take a lot of pride in it," senior Joe Lightfoot said.

The new Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity house is next to their old house on South Davis Street. 
The large split-level, brick house has 14 rooms which includes a kitchen, a reception room and 
12 bedrooms for the 24 men who live in the house. Senior Mike Buote	said, "I lived with 23 
guys	and there's always someone around. I lived in the old house for two years and now the 
new house. It brings you a lot closer being around them all the time. It's like a family."

The final cost for building the house was approximately $100,000. A large benefactor of the 
university, Durwood Dewitt, contributed $25,000. Other funds were received from the pledges 
and contributions

CULINARY DELIGHTS are prepared by junior Mike Sargent in the kitchen of the new $100,000, 
14-room Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity house.

from alumni and families and fraternity.

Gooch Construction Company of Kirksville, which built the house, was not solely responsible for 
the final product. "The entire chapter wasn't able to help, but a group of us painted the entire 
inside of the house, stained and varnished baseboards, insulated the house and seeded the 
yard.'' Brown said.

Residents set and enforced rules for the new house. The reception room is considered a quiet 
studying area and no food or drink is allowed in the room. There are also quiet hours which 
extend from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and until 1 a.m. on weekends. Four floor managers 
make sure rules are observed.

"We have fules because this is new facility and we want to keep it. nice for as long as we can. 
That's why we won't allow social parties in the house.'' Brown said.

Eventually, the fraternity plans have three buildings on its property, junior Chuck Scalise said. An 
addition will house a library, dining and kitchen facilities and several additional bedrooms. The 
fraternity will also employ a housemother for the new house after the addition is built, Scalise 
said, and will ultimately be the home of 40 members.

Plans are also in motion to build a recreation facility within five years. The older Sig Tau house 
will be torn down at that time, Scalise said.

The original plan called for a more elaborate house than the one that was built, Scalise said. 
"We wanted it now instead of waiting for more money for a bigger facility,'' he said.

Although the final cost of the project is estimated to cost about $250,000, the men are "very 
happy with what we have now. The best advantage is not that we are more attractive to rushees 
(or that) it looks nice. The best advantage is that we've got guys in the fraternity living together 
and learning about brotherhood,'' Scalise said.

Rho-mates 
go for the gold in Olympics
Little Sis style
by DIEDRE HENDERSON

It was a day of defeat for some, and a day of victory for others. But for all, the common bond 
during the Little Sis Olympics, sponsored by the Sigma Phi Epsilon Golden Hearts October 29th, 
was sportsmanship combined with fun. "I thought it was pretty neat. We were just out for a 
good time," junior Sandra Munden, Alpha Gamma Rho-Mate, said.

The overall winners were the Rho-Mates, who scored a top 70 points. Second place with a score 
of 63 points was tied by both the Tau Kappa Epsilon Little Sisses and the Alpha Kappa Lambda 
Little Sisses, but was awarded to the AKL Little Sisses because more fraternity members were 
present. Sophomore Patty Jennett, Phi Lambda Chi Dame, said the Olympics were competitive 
but fun. The games ranged from a car cram to a tug-of-war to a JELL-O eating contest to 
volleyball.

The purpose of the Olympics, senior Shelli Gray, Sigma Phi Epsilon Golden Heart said, was to 
promote good relationships between the groups. "The purpose was to help encourage good 
sportsmanship and to get everyone together for a fun type of competition."

Several participants said the Olympics ran smoother this year as compared to the previous 
years. ''It was more organized, had more fun events and more participation," junior Sherry Pike, 
Rho-Mate, said.

Support from fraternities made the Olympics more exciting, Gray said. "I was very pleased with 
the turnout. Most of our audience consisted of frat guys," Gray said. Such support also gave the 
little sisses incentive to try harder. "I think the support from the guys made a big difference 
because they (little sisses) knew that there was someone behind them cheering them on," 
senior Jim Sharrock, Delta Chi member, said.

The Best Little Sis award, awarded during the Olympics, was given to junior Lori Kain, Golden 
Heart. "I was kind of surprised; it was really neat," Kain said. Second place was awarded to 
senior Sherry Johnson, TKE little sis. The candidate with the most money in her name won the 
award. The purpose of this award was to get more awareness among fraternities. "Guys voted 
ona candidate, but the main purpose was to make them more aware of the Olympics and to get 
them psyched for the Olympics," Gray said. "The money we raised was mainly used for Olympic 
activities," Kain said.

Ribbons were awarded to the winners of each event, with trophies given to the overall winners. 
But the Olympics were not just awards. Munden said the Olympics helped her to get more 
acquainted with other little sister organizations. "I thought I really got to meet a lot of girls that I 
might not have known before," said Pike. "It was a good time!" 

A PULL-OFF pits the Phi Sigma Epsilon Gamma Girls against another team of little sisses in a tug-
of-war at the Little Sis Olympics in October.

Fraternities rent facilities 
to provide students with a
Good place to party
by JIM GAZZOLO

For rent: One large room with bar and dance floor. Good location, easy to clean.

This could be a hypothetical ad offering fraternity-owned facilities, a service provided by two 
University-chartered fraternities -- Tau Kappa Epsilon and Delta Chi. Groups and organizations 
rent the places for fund raising events, the most common being an "open party" which allows 
anyone to pay and gain admittance.

The two most popular places to hold such events are the large TKE barn and Delta Chi's smaller 
Kimble's Place. Both places see extensive use by groups other than the owners.

Before a group may rent the TKE barn, it has to abide by rules, one of which is to sign a contract. 
"The contract is for our own protection and makes the groups liable for any accidents," senior 
Mike Groer, TKE president, said.

The barn costs $150 for one night, plus a deposit to cover any damage.

"The amount of the deposit varies depending on the organization renting the barn. If they have 
a reputation for being rowdy, it will be higher," Groer said. The deposit is returned after the 
barn has been cleaned and all damages have been repaired, he said.

Having the barn to rent helps the TKEs in getting new members and being noticed. Still, the 
money brought in is a major advantage to renting, Groer said. "The money we make goes to 
paying bills and house improvements. The only problem is the liability factor we sometimes 
have," he said.

The biggest renter of the TKE Barn is the Rugby Club, which has about 10 to 15 parties a year 
there, most of which are on Thursday nights. "Thursdays are good nights because most people 
go home for the weekends and don't have much to do on Fridays," senior Kyle Lacy, Rugby Club 
treasurer, said.

Rugby has had parties in both the barn and Kimble's. They use the barn because it is easier to 
clean up, Lacy said.

Kimble's may not seem to get the attention of the TKE barn, but it is almost as busy. The real 
difference in the two is the distance from campus. Kimble's is located next to the Delta Chi 
house about one mile off campus.

Kimble's costs $75 for a weeknight and $85 for weekends. There is also a $110 deposit for the 
rental. "We check for damages and make sure the place is cleaned up before they get their 
deposit back," senior Larry Custer, Delta Chi vice president, said.

The renting group rents out the hall from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. and must provide its own stereo and 
people to work both behind the bar and at the door.

Delta Chi likes having Kimble's for more than just the money. "It's a good place to have a party 
and keep the house from being tom apart," Custer said.

Custer said he did not think that there were any real disadvantages in having Kimble's. However, 
he said he does not feel that it helps in recruiting for the fraternity. "Most people who rent it 
out are already in an organization and don't look at us," Custer said.

Perhaps the people who benefit the most from the open parties are the independent students. 
"I like them because they give me a chance to meet new people, and it's a good place to go," 
sophomore Dean Thatcher said

Primary goals 
for sorority are 
scholarship and service;
Size is secondary
by LAURIE BARNES

They are small in number but big in heart in their dedication, determination and service. They 
are the young women of Zeta Zeta chapter of Delta Sigma Theta.

Seniors Anna O'Neal, Susan Turner, Vanita Richardson, June Shaw, and sophomores Tammie 
Green, Alisa Harrison and Arlicia Mathis are the members of Delta Sigma Theta service sorority.

On the national level Delta Sigma Theta has more than 100,000 members who represent the 
largest membership of all black Greek Letter organizations. Yet the Zeta Zeta chapter is one of 
the smallest service organiztions on campus.

O'Neal, president of the chapter, said the small number is an advantage but also a disadvantage.

"Our communication is a lot better because we have so few members and it's a lot easier to get 
things accomplished (in that respect). There are a lot of channels to go through," she said.

"You get the word out fast, because there's such a small number. A lot of responsibility is placed 
on you to get things done," O'Neal said.

Turner said she feels a disadvantage with the small number is that the sorority does not have a 
lot of money to fund the service projects or the few social functions.

To pledge Delta Sigma Theta, women must have a 2.5 grade point average and an accumulative 
of 24 semester hours. The 2.5 grade requirement is higher than the majority of sororities on 
campus which require only a 2.0 grade point average.

The various service projects Zeta Zeta was involved with this year included the Crop Walk which 
was held in the fall and the Special Olympics and the Diabetes Screening Clinic held in the spring. 
To fulfill the fourth and final requirement for their service projects, Zeta Zeta planned to visit a 
Kirksville nursing home.

Aside from their service obligations, the sorority has one other obligation in order to survive as a 
chapter, and that is to attract new members. A formal interest party is
held at the beginning of each semester and are open to all women on campus. "There are no 
color barriers," Richardson said.

GROUP DECISIONS are considered by Arlicia Mathis (so), Anna O'Neal (sr), Susan Turner (sr), and 
Tammie Green (so) of Delta Sigma Theta.

Greek triple crown
by RICHARD MASON

A large part of the activity at the University revolves around fraternities and sororities -- the 
Greek system. Not a week goes by without some Greek-sponsored event. Whether it be one of 
the many parties, fund drives, contests, or organizational planning sessions, Greeks always have 
something going on.

Given this volume and variety of activities, some form of overall regulation is needed to stem 
the chaos. That is the purpose of the three Greek governing councils; the Inter Fraternity 
Council, the Panhellenic Council and the Inter-Greek Council.

These three organizations established the rules and policies which most Greek organizations 
must observe. Each council has a different domain of controls, but all of them have as their 
common purpose the improvement of fraternity and sorority life.

"The academic standards policy has the greatest impact on the fraternities," Gary Lykins, IFC 
adviser, said.

IFC's academics policy started this year and can affect fraternities and their members financially, 
through IFC scholarship money which is awarded to the top four scholars in each fraternity. 
Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi Kappa Phi were the only fraternities that qualified for the scholarship 
money by being. above their base mean average of five semester GPAs for two semesters.

"The academics policy can be rewarding for fraternities and it can also be punitive," Lykins said.

Tau Kappa Epsilon was put on academic probation for fall because of being .1 below their base 
mean for two semesters. This kept TKE from accepting first semester freshman pledges.

Another IFC policy is an expansion policy in which colonies that seek charters on campus are 
provided support and recommendations from IFC. Three colonies that sought charters were 
Kappa Alpha Psi, Lambda Chi Alpha, and Phi Beta Sigma.

Panhellenic has a new scholarship policy similar to IFC's which will take effect next spring.

Panhellenic rush policy raised its GPA requirements from a 2.0 to a 2.5 cumulative in order for 
women to pledge. "This policy was set by a need for raising Greek grades," junior Suzanne Blair, 
Panhellenic president, said.

Inter-Greek Council is made up of both boards IFC and Panhellenic. They coordinate activities 
that concern both councils. Activities include Greek Week, Greek Development, and service 
projects.

Each fraternity and sorority voices its ideas through each council via representatives. The 
representatives communicate back and forth with their own council and organizations. This is 
how they vote and this is how their ideas become policy.

"Greek Council does not set policy," said senior John Bell, IFC president. "We have our own 
policies and Panhellenic has theirs."

IFC and Panhellenic govern these bodies with these policies simply because it is what these 
organizations want them to do.

New 'kids' in town
by KATHY UNDERWOOD

Before reacting to situations in our lives, there are advantages and disadvantages that must be 
considered. Gamma Phi Delta, formerly Women for Greek Expansion, debated for more than 
one year before changing its name and forming the University's only local sorority rather than 
seeking a national charter.

"I'm very happy about the charter and new name. The more we looked at nationals, we found a 
lot more advantages being local," sophomore Lori Robertson, Gamma Phi Delta vice president, 
said.

Gamma Phi Delta is the first and only chapter of the organization. "Since we are the only ones, 
we can't go to other universities to visit other chapters. That's the only disadvantage I see," 
junior Kristine Jones, president, said.

"We're now recognized by the University and we can be involved in other activities on campus. 
People see our Greek letters and that will help us out a lot," Robertson said.

The sorority's name was picked from the concensus of members. They picked Gamma Phi Delta 
from a list of five sets of Greek letters and checked to make sure the letters did not belong to a 
national sorority.

Gamma Phi Delta is a social, scholastic and service sorority. They have held mixers with campus 
fraternities and have plans to cooperate with other organizations.

"We've been asked to participate in Greek Week so the Greek community is accepting us. The 
fraternities are happy with our changes, and we haven't heard any bad static," Robertson said.

Gammi Phi Delta is planning and working on becoming well-known on campus. "We're a close 
knit group working for the same thing," junior Linda Logan said

First, second or third place -- everyone is a winner in the Special Olympics.

"It's a program in which individuals, who have been classified as unable to compete, are given 
the opportunity to compete against other athletes of their own level, and experience what its 
like to compete and win," Jody Crandall, area coordinator for Special Olympics, said.

The events were restructured over the years for the safety of the athletes. In April 1982, 
eligibility requirements changed. Athletes now have to have an I.Q. of 70 or more and be at 
least eight years old.

Special Olympics attempts to normalize pressure in competition and provides encouragement. 
Sophomore volunteer Jill Zuber, a member of Sigma Kappa sorority, said, "It's really neat to see 
so many people helping.

"It's a very gratifying experience. Some of the kids don't realize that there are others with the 
same disability. This is an opportunity for the 4 kids to be with others like themselves," Crandall 
said.

Senior Becky Drebenstadt, president of Student Council for Exceptional Children, said the 
Olympics is the biggest event that the organization sponsors. "This is a great thing for us 
because we're an organization that's supposed to be working with special children," she said.

Olympic rewards

The council spent a lot of time organizing the event. "We were in charge of getting the gym 
reserved, getting the equipment set out, and we went around to sponsors to donate food. We 
also sent letters to organizations asking them to ask members to chaperone the kids," 
Drebenstadt said.

Each volunteer student chaperoned one Special Olympics athlete and Drebenstadt said this was 
the first year that SCEC members didn't chaperone children. "We had a really good turnout (of 
volunteers) from campus organizations this year. There weren't enough kids for all the 
chaperones," she said.

The Special Olympics is also the national philanthropic for Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority. Junior 
Sherry Hendren, president of the sorority, said, "Special Olympics is what we raise money for; 
we always get involved when it comes to campus." When Hendren went to the Olympics, all the 
kids had been assigned chaperones, so she helped those students that already had kids. 
Hendren said that students "really got to know the kids." "It was rewarding, just helping 
somebody out. You get self-satisfaction out of it," she said.

Freshman Randy Howell, a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, said, "It's a good feeling helping the 
less fortunate; we're always glad to do it."

Though student volunteers felt they gained from the experience, the real reward belonged to 
the Special Olympics athletes.

"It's a great thing because the kids get really excited for it. I don't think they get much of a 
chance to get out and do this sort of thing," Drebenstadt said.

Special Olympics was created and sponsored by the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. foundation in 1968. 
The purpose of the Olympics is to contribute to the physical, social and psychological 
development of the disabled individual.

In April 1980, President Charles McClain signed a proclamation declaring April 8-11 as Handicap 
Awareness Week. "Various organizations have provided their special talent to assist in the 
operation of Special Olympics," McClain Special Olympics is an international program with a 
director in each state. Areas in each state are divided according to population and athletes 
compete in their own area. The University is located in area two with 14 counties.

There are two paid area coordinators in Missouri; everything except state level is on a volunteer 
basis. A campus coordinator is assigned for each region or Olympic event.

Crandall said, "For some athletes, this is an opportunity to socialize and it provides the kids a 
chance for independence."

Full ride
by LISA BURGER

Each spring around 50 high school students visit the University to be interviewed for what Terry 
Smith, dean of students, called "the premiere scholarship" offered to incoming freshmen.

Various factors give the John J. Pershing scholarship prestige. The scholarship covers full tuition, 
fees and room and board and is renewable for four years if the student maintains a 3.5 grade 
point average and successfully completes an experienceship each year through the junior year.

But perhaps the distinguishing factor that sets the Pershing scholarship apart from the rest is the 
type of competition involved. Only 15 students each year are awarded the scholarship; thus the 
total selection process must be thorough. In addition to the general scholarship application, 
which includes reports of test scores, class rank, transcripts and recommendation letters, 
applicants are required to write short essays on a famous person they admire and the qualities 
they possess that make them superior to other applicants.

The next step, the interview, is not as intimidating as one might think. Smith said, "When we 
interview students we want to know what makes them tick. We want to know 'Are they the type 
of person who will do well at Northeast?' " Freshman Bill Newburry said, "I remember I was 
terrified at first, and it gradually got worse. But once the interview started I felt calmer. They 
(the inter-viewers) made me feel that they wanted me to be at ease because it's important in 
the interview process for them to see how students act naturally. This helped, because I felt I 
could answer questions without being really nervous."

Candidates were asked various questions like, "If you could travel across the country in a car, 
who would you travel with and why?" and "Could a woman become president since they're so 
emotional?" or "If you were given a million dollars to give to someone else, who would you give 
it to and why?") Sophomore Mikel Ross said the interview made him keep on his toes. "They're 
very probing. To me, it was a challenge to come back and give good responses. It was more a 
spirited discussion, especially because we got into some political issues."

Following the panel interview, candidates are evaluated by Pershing scholars. Smith said the 
Pershing scholars "find out a lot that we don't. They don't have any preconceptions (about the 
candidate); they allow the students to build their own case."

Office. Pershing Scholars receive a full ride scholarship.

After a slow start, 
women's ensemble gets
All jazzed up
by KEITH GREENWOOD

The instruments are the same. The music sounds the same. But something about this university 
jazz ensemble stands out.

All 18 musicians are women.

The Women's Jazz Ensemble was organized last fall after three years of trying to round up 
enough interested women to play. Band leader Cynthia Price, temporary part-time assistant 
instructor of clarinet, music theory and music appreciation, said the band was not formed as a 
response to the all-male Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia band.

"A bunch of close girls decided it would be fun to play together," she said. "They tried to get it 
organized in previous years, but there was never enough people."

There were so many women interested in playing in the band this year that auditions had to be 
held. The band was picked, but women who did not qualify were still encouraged to participate. 
Price said they fill in for members when they have to miss a rehearsal and they can always sit in 
with the band.

The women wanted campus-wide involvement in the ensemble. Auditions were not limited 
strictly to music majors and several non-music majors play in the band. Sophomore Bonnie Viles, 
trombone, said four of the five women in her section are non-music majors.

The one thing that all the women do have in common is the desire to play. ''We're just wanting 
to play mainly," Viles said. ''A lot of people wanted to play but didn't make jazz band or don't 
have time during the day." The band rehearses one night a week.

"I had no time during the day, but I wanted to play," senior Julinda Dixon, trumpet, said. "I also 
had the chance to play trumpet in this band."

Freshman Jenny Keating, drums, also joined the group for the chance to play. Women drummers 
are not common in university bands. Keating is the only one this year which puts her in the 
spotlight.

"People look at me strange if I walk across campus with my sticks, but I'm pretty much accepted 
around here," she said. ''I don't really care which band I play in, just so I get to play."

The band had no bass player this here. The women are hoping to find an incoming freshman 
who plays bass for next year. Price said if no bass player is found an electric bass piano will cover 
the part.

The long-range future depends on the number of women musicians who come into the 
university, but that is not a factor in keeping the group together next year.

"Everyone will be back next year but a trombone player," Viles said.

Tournament wins 
support theory that
team interdependence is
Not debatable
by LAURIE WHITE

They spoke with feeling -- the interpreters of poetry and drama, the satirical after-dinner 
speakers and the prepared-in-a-flash extemporaneous speakers. And when the competition at 
Simpson College came down to the last word, they were members of the first place team. It was 
the first time the Forensics Team, also called the Speech and Debate Team, won an individual 
events competition at an interscholastic tournament.

The team competed in an individual events competition at Simpson College at Indianola, Iowa, 
Feb. 11 and took first place in sweepstakes over Iowa State University and the University of 
Northern Iowa. Forensics coach Nancy Goulden, instructor of speech, said she was told last year 
that the team had never won sweepstakes for individual events.

In order to win sweepstakes, individuals compete through two rounds of preliminary 
competition. The top six speakers then go into a final round. Points are won for the school by 
placing in preliminary rounds, for being selected to participate in finals and by the results of 
finals, Goulden said. "Sweepstakes are the result of the sum of how individual team members 
have done. The more good people you have participating, the better the chances are for 
winning the sweeps," she said.

Goulden said that one reason the team won was because at least one person advanced to the 
finals in every event the school was entered in. "It's not a matter of having a few stars. A variety 
of people do a variety of things. Even if (a person's) final rank may be fifth or sixth, that may be 
out of 25 or 30 people, and they may have gotten some first places in preliminary 
competitions."

Goulden said forensics encompasses the team activity of debate and such individual events as 
impromptu speaking, prose and dramatic interpretation and persuasive and informative 
speaking. Some tournaments are just individual events, some are just debate and some are 
both, she said.

In sweepstakes, "judging is very subjective; it has to be. We get as prepared as possible," 
Goulden said. "I see the sweeps as being a confirmation that Northeast has arrived as a viable 
competitor and that our team is respected by other colleges and universities," she said.

Senior Michael O'Gorman, who placed fourth in poetry interpretation and second in 
extemporaneous speaking said that a team effort was necessary for first place finish. "The fact 
that a lot of us broke into finals -- it was really a team effort -- make the sweepstakes so 
rewarding," he said.

"I hope that winning the sweeps will show the administration that "Yes, there is a forensics 
team' " freshman Kris Yuenger said

Concessions give 
business faternity
Experience to go

"Two Pepsi's, one popcorn, and one nacho,'' or "I want a Mountain Dew" -- these were familiar 
call concession workers heard at the home basketball and football games.

Delta Sigma Pi, the professional business fraternity, was in charge of all concessions at the 
games.

"It's like running a small business," said sophomore Karen Schark, a member of Delta Sigma Pi.

The group orders all the food and sometimes has a hard time estimating the amount of soda, 
popcorn and other goodies to buy. Senior Paul Camp, chairman of the concession committee of 
Delta Sigma Pi said, "It depends on what game it is and who it's against. We order more food 
and have more workers when there's a parent's day, Homecoming, or when a big rival comes."

Delta Sigma Pi made $5,500 last year from the concessions. They planned to make even more in 
1984 because of high school playoffs and some junior college games. Sophomore Mary Ann 
McMasters said, "We're making more money this year also because we're more organized." 
Camp said prices in the concession stand haven't changed in three years, but the quality of the 
food and services has gotten better this year. "We've tried to pay more attention to quality this 
year. We're not pre-pouring soda and only giving out fresh popcorn, for example."

The money the group makes in the concession stand goes into the general fund of the business 
fraternity. It is used for such activities as initiation banquets and Parents Day functions.

Delta Sigma Pi has handled the concessions for four years. It was previously handled by 
American Food Management. The group submits a bid to the University every year for the 
contract to run the concessions. Other organizations have submitted bids to run the 
concessions, but as Camp said, "It would have to be a substantially lower bid to take it away 
from us. We keep bettering our performance and increasing profits so that probably really helps 
us to keep the contract."

"Our experience allows us to make a profit every year without raising prices," sophomore Greg 
Stuhlman said.

Delta Sigma Pi members enjoy the money they receive from the concessions, but they also learn 
from the experience and have fun at the same time.

"Working with the concession stand gives the challenge of learning how a real business works,'' 
Stuhlman said.

"Of course it's hard work, but it is also a lot of fun. How many concession stands did you see 
where people will be jamming to Michael Jackson with a mop while cleaning up?" senior 
Cavidan Yilmazdalay said

ALL WORK AND NO FUN is not the case for Delta Sigma Pi members seniors Keith Hufendick and 
Kelly Gregory as they work the concession stand.

In honorary organizations 
time spent on service is a
Charity investment
by SCOTT CHOVANEC

For the young, there are the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, little league and made-up clubs with special 
meanings.

If a person is an upperclass college student and has shown excellence in academics, he is 
qualified to join one of several honorary organizations on campus. Such organizations require a 
minimum grade point average of at least 2.75 to 3.0. Members devote themselves to stressing 
the imporrance of academics and service. Examples of the kinds of work these organizations do 
are sponsoring the blood drives, muscular dystrophy runs, publishing phone directories, and 
Special Olympics, to name a few.

"I joined Cardinal Key because it sounded like a really different organization," senior Julie 
Moore, president, said. "We strive to help people in their lives through charitable projects. It's 
gratifying when you actually see results of your efforts," Moore said. "If one person is saved 
because of the blood we gathered, then it's all worth it."

The philosophies of these clubs are similar, yet different. But each one's goals and objectives 
share a common denominator -- helping others.

Some honoraries sponsor activities in a particular academic area. "We promote the use of 
mathematics in everyday life," senior Sandy Nelson, Kappa Mu Epsilon math honorary president, 
said. "We're trying to get the average person to rely more heavily on math because it can 
simplify life. Too many people are illiterate in math, and this is why the quality of education has 
decreased in our country," Nelson said.

Dues for honorary organizations range from $3 to $5 per semester. The student must also pay a 
onetime induction fee to the national chapter, which usually ranges from $20 to $25. Members 
may receive a pin, a plastic card, or a certificate showing membership. Some clubs have Greek-
lettered names, while others do not.

"Whether an organization has a Greek name or not is meaningless," senior Joel Haag, Alpha Phi 
Sigma vice president, Said. "Names just date back to when the chapter was founded; it was just 
a matter of preference. Many of the honorary clubs work hand in hand," Haag said.

The honorary organizations also serve as a recruiting device for the university. Many of these 
clubs travel to high schools promoting college life and the importance of academics.

"We take pride in the fact that our work is seen by other people, and not only by the college 
community," senior Jim Prewitt, Blue Key member, said

A match of wits

Eight tense people lean forward in their seats, listening intently. The silence in the room is 
broken only by one calm voice. Suddenly, a buzzing noise quiets the voice. Seven people 
concentrate, three hoping the the answer given will be correct, and four (on the opposing 
team), struggling to remember the answer, in case it's not, as one person attempts to answer 
the question asked. Extreme concentration, frustration and elation are parts of the game in Blue 
Key's Campus Bowl.

Campus Bowl pits two teams sponsored by campus organizations against each other 
scholastically. A Blue Key member acts as host, senior Mike Regan, first vice president of Blue 
Key, said.

The quiz questions, which come from the areas of history, social science, athletics, language and 
literature, science, business, geography, fine arts and trivia, were gathered by Blue Key 
members who began planning for the activity immediately after Christmas break.

The team with the most points at the end of each round won. Through the process of 
elimination, an overall winner is determined. The first place trophy was given to the Student 
Activities Board this year, ending Delta Chi's four year reign as champions of the Bowl. Sigma 
Tau Gamma and Delta Chi fraternities were awarded the second and third place trophies, 
respectively.

Also, All-Star awards were given to freshman Ric Brockmeier, senior Dean Blakely, senior Dennis 
Coons and junior Chuck Scalise for having gathered the most individual points.

Nineteen campus organizations paid a fee of $15 to have their teams participate. The money 
made from the Campus Bowl was donated to charity, Regan said.

The National Blue Key Fraternity has sponsored Campus Bowls since the middle 1960's and will 
continue to do so in the future, Regan said.

"We also have a scholar quiz similar to the Campus Bowl for area high school students each 
year,'' he said.

The organization also stresses responsibility. Each officer in the fraternity was given a project to 
organize, Regan said.

''Being a member helped me broaden my horizons and become a more responsible individual," 
senior Joel Haag said, Membership is based on the qualifications of scholarship, interest and 
affiliation with school activities, personality and moral standing. It is also limited to men having 
at least sixty hours of credit and a grade point average of 3.0.

"Through Blue Key, I met people and got involved," junior Lee Viorel said. "It was a growing 
experience."

Stuck on SAB
by KARMAN WITTRY

The scene occurred each Friday night. Trying to be nonchalant without looking overly 
subversive, two friends would meet furtively in front of Baldwin Hall's crowded auditorium. 
Unobvious to everyone caught in the first post-show crunch, the two assumed cool stances. 
Then one walked away and the other walked, thanks to the friend's favor, into the auditorium 
for the second show. It was movies two for the price of one, but the Student Activities Board, 
which issued the card, saw no bargain in card-sharing. This year SAB decided to use a system 
using stickers, which adhere to the front of student IDs, to identify students who had rightfully 
paid for the privilege of the discount pass.

The cards had been shared in the past, but last year the problem became especially apparent, 
sophomore Susan Plassmeyer, SAB treasurer, said.

The change meant that students could no longer use the card to see weekly movies provided 
free to cardholders and then pass it to a friend who could use it.

Some members of SAB were against changing to stickers. They were not sure the stickers would 
stay on the IDs. The cards had also been good advertising for the Board since a movie schedule 
was printed on the back. Movie schedules are now printed on a separate card.

However, once the Board did vote and receive approval to use the stickers, the change proved 
to be beneficial. "It's been excellent," Plassmeyer said.

Last year, a total of 1,278 cards were sold for both semesters. By late November, almost 1,400 
stickers had been sold. Plassmeyer projected that sales from both semesters would total at 
about 1,500 stickers.

The added income makes it possible for SAB to sponsor more quality activities. "Every little bit 
counts," said senior Karen Gordy, concert chairperson for SAB.

This had been one of the major problems with the card-sharing method. Since fewer students 
bought cards, SAB received less money, and therefore, had limited funds with which to sponsor 
events. "They were cheating themselves," Plassmeyer said.

"If SAB gets more money then they can get more activities and better movies and concerts," 
said sophomore Ed Nobles.

The stickers are easier to replace than the cards, Plassmeyer said. Last year, if a card was lost or 
destroyed, the holder had to pay $10. Because the sticker is part of the ID, if it is lost, SAB can 
replace the sticker for a $2 fee. "The stickers may have cost more, but they've probably saved 
students money because they can get a replacement and they couldn't do that in the past," 
Plassmeyer said.

The only problem with the stickers arose early in the fall semester when the print began to rub 
off them. Lamination was supposed to prevent the print from wearing away. However, 
Plassmeyer said a lack of communication between the Board and the supplier had resulted in a 
shipment of unlaminated stickers being issued. The old faded ID stickers were replaced with 
laminated ones at no cost to the holders.

Sophomore Debby Renfrow thought the stickers were better than the cards. "You don't have to 
carry two things around," she said.

Minor problems 
are easy to repair:
If things go wrong, 
bring in the crew

Some hall residents struggle with a broken window shade in their rooms all year while others 
wrestle with screens that come off hinges. And the task of fixing everything up belongs to the 
projects crew, a new team of student maintenance personnel.

The projects crew is a team of seven students trained to do minor repairs in the residence halls. 
They work together with the hall directors, resident assistants and residents. Sophomore Chris 
Hare, crew member, said, ''When I first began in September, I didn't know how to repair certain 
things. But now I know how to do a lot of things. I still get funny looks from guys when I'm in a 
tool belt," she said.

Senior Jeff Wright, also a member of the crew, had problems at first, too. ''In the beginning of 
the year, I wasn't sure how to do some things. But after a couple of months and getting the 
same work orders over and over, I know how to fix most things. There's only so much you can fix 
in a hall," he said.

80 percent of all repairs in the residence halls are now done by the projects crew. The two major 
repairs that are not included are plumbing and electrical problems.

Tim Forshey, projects crew supervisor, said, "Students are more desirable than professional 
help. The skills they develop can always be used later in life." 

Forshey was hired by Residence Life at the beginning of the summer to start the projects 
department. All repairs were previously done by physical plant personnel, but the projects crew 
now alleviates some pressure from that department.

As the department grows	Forshey has one ultimate goal for the student crew. ''We need 
to make the program preventive in nature. We must prevent problems before they occur in the 
residence halls," Forshey said

Inservice days provide opportunity for
Boosts in morale
by LISA KIRKPATRICK

One may think the hardest part of being a resident assistant is getting the job. But the thing that 
concerns most RAs is learning how to be a good RA.

An RA was not just born with the many talents he or she has for listening to personal or 
scholastic problems, or for coming up with possible solutions. RAs go through what are called in-
service days to help them learn how to become effective at their jobs.

At these in-service meetings, RAs get together with the residence life staff and the hall directors. 
Bob Weith, assistant director of residence life, said these in-service days are held about every 
five to six weeks. He stressed three main points why these days are important for RAs.

First, he said they teach RAs about awareness and about sensitizing people. These skills help the 
RA in dealing with minorities and with the various problems that students sometimes come to 
them for help. If an RA does not know of a solution to a problem, he or she will know of people 
who can be referred for help.

Second, Weith said the in-service days help the RAs develop confidence. He described RAs as 
"the frontline people" and said they need to have confidence when dealing with so many 
students.

Third, Weith said that inservice days were meant to teach RAs communication skills. 
"Confidence makes the job easier and it makes the RAs more competent," Weith said.

Weith said RAs are picking up good life skills and are more adjusted to life. Sophomore Steve 
McKinzie, Dobson Hall RA, said the greatest thing that being an RA has taught him is maturity. 
"I'm learning how to deal with people, not really on a psychological basis, but we're learning 
how different people are affected by different things." McKinzie said in-service training teaches 
not only how to be an RA but about outside things, like writing resumes and having successful 
job interviews.

Both McKinzie and junior Peggy Hemann, Centennial Hall RA, said what helps their morale the 
most is listening to second-year RAs tell about their experiences. "They don't just tell you all the 
good parts or all the bad parts about it (being an RA), they tell you both sides," McKinzie said.

Hemann said the in-service days help her to learn what being an RA is all about. "The second-
year RAs help you think of ways to start good ideas. They kind of tell you from experience the 
things you have to learn the hard way."

Both McKinzie and Hemann said they would like to be RAs. "This first year is a learning process. 
After knowing all about it, maybe it won't be easier, but there will be different experiences and 
problems," McKinzie said,

A feast was laid for recognition and honor of
Resident scholars
by MARY JO SCHMIDT

Students living in the residence halls and earning a grade point average of at least 3.5 were 
honored at the Second Annual Residence Hall Academic Recognition Banquet in February.

About 250 out of 360 eligible students attended the banquet held in the Georgian Room of the 
Student Union Building.

Ron Gaber, director of residence life, said that because the University emphasizes academic 
achievement and high admission standards, residence halls are always looking for projects to 
facilitate this.

"We came to the realization that we really don't reward people who do well," Gaber said. "We 
reward the athletes and the scholars, so we thought it was about time to honor the students 
who exemplify what our University truly stands for."

Gaber said the banquet cost about $2100 in addition to the credit received on meal stickers. "It 
really isn't a lot when you consider that we did this banquet for 260 people; it would cost the 
same amount to put one football player on the field.''

The invocation for the evening was given by Bob Weith, assistant director fo residence life, and 
was followed by an introduction of guests by emcee Dave Lascu, director of Dobson Hall. All 
division heads attended the banquet and were recognized. University President Charles McClain 
addressed the group, and a videotape on value-added was shown. Terry Smith, Dean of 
students, awarded certificates to 38 students with a 4.0 grade point average. 

"BRAIN BANQUET" honors freshmen Carol Kriegshauser, Dana Kelly, Becky Widmer, Christy 
Hart, and other hall residents with a 3.5 or above grade point average.

Scholarly feast

Freshman Kevin Schulke said he enjoyed the banquet. "I think it's important to have these 
banquets," Schulke said. "It's nice being recognized by the University, and it's nice to know I'm 
among some 30 to 40 people with 4.0 grade point averages and am being honored for my 3.5."

"I was invited to the banquet last year, but I didn't go," junior Sarah Zimmerman said. "I'm glad I 
went this year because it was worth going to. I really enjoyed it and I enjoyed meeting people I 
had never met before."

Gaber spoke during the banquet about the impact of residence hall environment on academic 
performance. "Students living in residence halls have always demonstrated higher grade point 
averages," Gaber said. "Usually, the contributors to making good grades are the quiet floors and 
wings, the programs such as the tutor program or talks on test taking skills or stress 
management, and also the peer pressure that is created among students in residence halls."

"I thought the banquet was really nice," freshman Ginny Reading said. "The dinner was 
excellent. I was honored to be invited and I was glad I went."

Sophomore Jim Morgan also enjoyed the banquet. "I thought it was nice that Residence Life 
took the time to recognize students for their academic achievements."

Gaber said that the recognition banquet will continue to be held in the future. "I thought the 
banquet was even better than last year because of the great representation by all the division 
heads. There was definitely an improvement over last year."

"Next year we will consider working for a theme for the banquet, and we will also try to arrange 
for different speakers," Gaber said. "We will definitely continue to have the banquet."

IN RECOGNITION academic achievement, Dean Terry Smith presents a certificate to freshman 
Michael Chalk, one of 38 residents honored for 4.0 average.

Song bearers of faith
by SALLY TROUTMAN

Whistles, cheers and standing ovations accompanied the enthusiastic applause from the 
audience, a much larger audience than the year before. The ages of those attending ranged 
from about five to 85 -- not a typical crowd for a rock concert. But then again, this was not a 
typical concert.

Truth is a professional group comprised of about 20 vocal and instrumental musicians, all of 
whom have on thing in common: the desire to share their faith.

The driving beat of songs like "Second to None" and "True Love" appealed to today's younger 
crowd while old favorites like "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" served as the link to the older 
generation. The common tie for both is the message in the music, and Truth seems to have a 
knack for bringing the two together.

"We really haven't had a lot of success down through the years," Roger Breland, founder and 
director of the group for 13 years, said, "but last year we had a hit at number one."

That number one hit on the Christian charts, "Jesus Never Fails," may only be the beginning as 
the group's recently recorded "Sing Unto Him" climbed its ways up the charts of contemporary 
Christian radio stations across the country. Last year was the first time Truth came to campus; 
the performance was sponsored by the Baptist Student Union. One year between appearances 
allowed word to spread about Truth and also gave other local religious organizations a chance to 
join in sponsorship of the performance. This year the Campus Christian Fellowship, Lutheran 
Student House, Wesley House, Newman

Center, United Campus Ministries and the First Presbyterian Church joined the BSU in 
advertising efforts for Truth.

Sophomore Bonnie Viles said although she didn't get to see Truth last year, she had heard them 
in rehearsal and knew they were good. This year she went to the concert.

"Everybody I talked to was so fired up about the concert," she said. "The music was great, and 
all the personal testimonies were good, too."

Besides turning out potential hits, Truth performs on campuses, churches across the country 
and even jails, Breland said.

"I'm not bragging about all the things we can do," he said. "The only thing that's worth bragging 
about in this world is Jesus." 

PRAISE THROUGH SONG, Joni Kehrns and Paul Lynch of TRUTH perform in Baldwin Hall 
Auditorium. Kehrns and Lynch were two of the of the twenty member group.

From a single campus ministry, a crusade grows to embrace the world to strengthen
Religious Outlooks

About 30 University students, along with approximately 20,000 other students, increased Kansas 
City's population for a few days in late December. The occasion was KC 83, an international 
conference sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ International.

For some Kirksville students, the trip was expensive and most had to give up time with family, 
friends and the chance to be alone. As a result, expectations were high. Junior Scott Cuidon said, 
"I want to come away with a deeper commitment to prayer and I want to learn how to more 
effectively make a mark for Christ in any environment.''

KC 83 was the realization of one man's prayers -- the president and founder of Campus Crusade 
for Christ, Bill Bright. "Bringing the life-challenging message of Jesus Christ to the colleges and 
universities of America is the most critical need of our nation. If we can reach the campuses for 
Christ today, we will have reached the leaders of our nation tomorrow,'' Bright said.

After 33 years, Campus Crusade for Christ has expanded into a worldwide organization. It began 
in 1950 with two staff persons in one country and has grown to 16,000 people in 151 countries. 
The result of one man's vision to see the world reached for Christ, beginning with college 
students, was the establishment of the Campus Crusade for Christ ministry on campuses across 
the nation. Since its foundation at UCLA, Campus Crusade has blossomed from a mere campus 
ministry to more than 16 different, worldwide ministries, such as the traveling illusionist Andre 
Kole and the overseas Agape.

Bright said he's not surprised at the growth of Campus Crusade but that, "we've only begun to 
see what God is going to do. I believe God will multiply this ministry a hundred-fold. It's bounties 
are His doing."

The first evening students crowded into Bartle Hall in downtown Kansas City. The welcome 
included a short video message from the President of the United States. In it, Ronald Reagan 
thanked the collegians for bonding together for the cause of Christ. "The future of our nation 
ultimately rested in the hands of God," Reagan said.

Each morning of the week-long conference, students studied one of four biblical characters who 
had made an impact in their societies. These times were led by Dr. Howard Hendricks, a 
professor of Christian education at Dallas Theological Seminary. Besides this full-time job, he is 
the Bible teacher and chaplain for the Dallas Cowboys and has written eight books.

The second evening, Dr. Billy raham spoke to the students of America. Graham is an 
internationally known evangelist who has spoken to millions in live audiences and television 
crusades. However, in his message to college students, Graham said that "the whole human 
race is suffering from a spiritual disease that only Christ and His Gospel can meet."

The rest of the evening speakers conveyed a similar attitude about the Christian life. To them it 
was not a playground, but battlefield. Among the speakers was Elizabeth Elliot, a popular 
Christian writer. At the conference she relayed the many struggles she had gone through in her 
life as a missionary. Finally, Josh McDowell gave an overwhelming address. McDowell is a 
traveling lecturer with campus Crusade who visited the University just last year. However, at KC 
83, McDowell put forth an emotional cry to the college students of America. He implored them 
to get involved; to stop following a crowd and dare to be different.

Throughout the course of the week students attended their choice of elective seminars. The 
talks covered a wide variety of topics from how to be an influence in the Greek system to 
Christian world views on political freedom. In addition, students attended training seminars and 
learned everything from sharing their faith to disciplining other Christians. Finally, students got 
to put their knowledge to work. On December 30, all 20,000 students went out into the inner 
city and surrounding suburbs. Some students visited the poor with a Christmas cheer food 
basket. Others surveyed business and community leaders. Still others visited door to door and 
replaced smoke alarm batteries. If a person was interested, students talked about their 
relationship with Christ and explained how they too could experience his love and forgiveness.

For many University students, the conference was more than a "good time." Instead, it was a life 
changer. Sophomore Tammi Reed said she was "really challenged" and that she learned a lot 
about her personal relationship with God.

Freshman Rich Smith said he gained a "real conviction to tell others about Christ. Also, I realize I 
need to look to know what God wants me to do, not just sit there and expect Him to zap me!"

As the year came to a close, so did the conference. Yet, for the students attending KC 83, the 
New Year was celebrated in an out of the ordinary way. Instead of the usual clatter and bang, 
these students prayed in the New Year. To them, it was only a matter of time until the college 
students of America came together to decide that the world would be different

CLOSE QUARTERS in Kansas City's Bartle Hall are witness to the crowd at KC 83. The conference 
was sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ International.

A BOOK REVIEW briefly occupies the attention of sophomore Tammi Reed at the KC 83 
Bookstore. Reed was one of 30 university students at the conference.

Fire in the night is observed by passersby seniors Sherri Reichert and Mary Monzyk as the 
Eternal Flame burns in front of Kirk Memorial during Homecoming Week. The flame is a rare 
sight on campus; it is only lighted on occcasions such as homecoming and graduation. The 
physical plant was in charge of the flame, which was ignited from underground. During Greek 
Week, the flame is used to ignite a torch for the torch walk, which unites fraternities and 
sororities in a walk to a basketball game.

A rappeling hobby provides freshman Bruce Bishop with 10 extra credit points in his Military 
Science 200 class. A group of approximately 200 students went to Columbia on a Saturday 
morning to rappel from a 200-foot hill. The trip was an all day affari which culminated in an 
afternoon picnic. Military science students were also offered opportunities to sharpen their 
mountaineering, camping, and canoeing skills through trips.

Zwicki

A canine friend greets students entering the Administration/ Humanities Building and gets a pat 
of the head from a student. Stray animals frolicked on the quadrangle or around the Student 
Union Building. The quad, with its trees, wide-open area and--for the dogs--squirrels, was an 
especially favorite spot for animal antics. Animals even found their way into buildings, whether 
to get away from the extreme weather conditions or just to explore what college life was like on 
the inside. Classes were interrupted for passage of the canine interlopers, who never seemed to 
mind the crowded classrooms. The animals never lacked for attention because students were 
often eager to give a dog a pat or a friendly scratch behind the ears.

THE ONE TO WATCH
Significant Impressions

Even when our goals are clearly delineated, our sights are not always clearly established. Many 
times we hone in on small nondescript details of life rather than the broad perspective.

We watch things move as we make our own motion, unknowingly shaping an entity, making the 
University THE ONE TO WATCH.

NON-STOP ROCK from the Greg Kihn Band fills Baldwin Auditorium at the St. Patrick's weekend 
concert.

WARMLY  WELCOMED sunshine covets freshman Sherrie Kina as she takes a break in the man to 
enjoy the outdoors.

THE COMFORTS OF HOME surround sophomore Bill Barge as he reviews material for at exam in 
his Dobson Hall room.

We constantly strove to maintain clarity of view, whether the vantage point was from one of 
influence or just one of opinion.

Through hearings sponsored by Student Senate, we had the opportunity to learn about all facets 
of value added. We learned that a small fee and a different procedure were powerful enough to 
cure long lines at preregistration time. And some things, like Lyceum tickets, were even free.

We continued to make our collective voice loud enough to be heard and adamant enough to be 
listened to. As tension and the possibility of a lawsuit rose concerning the poster policy 
outlawing beer logos on campus posters, the administration decided to drop the prohibitive 
measures and adopt a laissez-faire, nostamping provision. And we raced waterbeds and became 
fashionable, all for the benefit of a new Adair County YMCA.

Whether questioning new degree requirements or releasing energy by rocking out to the Greg 
Kihn Band's spring concert, we remained in the forefront--setting precedents, tinkering with 
innovative ideas and watching, always watching.

A CHEERING SECTION headed by senior Mark Hempen looks on as their fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi 
plays intramural basketball.
