There was a choice to make. Barb McMasters, an independent, was 
challenging Student Senate veteran David Clithero. A record number 
of voters, 30 percent, went to vote. McMasters won.

There was a choice to make. Petitions against a chemical waste deposit 
were circulating in the fall.

When we passed through the Union, Kirksville citizens asked us to sign. 
Some of us did.

There was a choice to make. For many of us, we faced our first chance to 
vote in a national election. Also, for the first time in years, a third-
party candidate was a serious contender for the presidency. On Nov. 4, 
however, John Anderson received only 7 percent of the popular vote. Ronald 
Reagan won an electoral landslide over incumbent President Jimmy Carter.

We had no choice in the matter. The rock group Poco pulled out of the 
1980 Homecoming concert after making a tentative agreement with the 
Student Activities Board. Student disappointment was high when SAB's 
efforts to replace them fell through.

We had no choice in the matter. President Jimmy Carter announced his 
decision to boycott the Moscow Olympics if Soviet troops did not pull 
out of Afghanistan. Some of us supported the president's stand while 
others felt sorry for the athletes who had trained for a lifetime but 
could not compete in the Olympics.

Student life

Choices are a part of our lives. We must decide between alternatives--
whether to go to college or get a job, to study or to party, to take 
12 hours or 18.

Choices are a part of our lives. Some opted for summer school. We chose 
between off-campus and on-campus housing when the University's solution 
to overcrowded rooms presented other problems. Choices are a part of our 
lives. But sometimes decisions were out of our hands. The method of 
choosing the Homecoming queen brought charges of discrimination 
against blacks.

We bought books at the bookstore with inflation on its way up, but could 
do nothing about high prices.

Whether the choices rested in our hands or were taken over by others, 
there were still decisions to make. it was the beginning of A LIFETIME 
OF CHOICES.

President McClain named former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes as 
graduation speaker and it became a Disputed call
by Jim Salter and Colleen Cook

Every graduation is filled with excitement, a sense of accomplishment 
and even sadness. Spring graduation had all of these plus an added 
element most graduations lack: controversy.

The controversy was about the man chosen to speak at the ceremony, 
former head football coach at Ohio State University, Woody Hayes.

In the same issue as the announcement naming Hayes as the speaker, the 
Index ran an editoral denouncing the choice. For the rest of the year, 
the editorial page of the Index was dominated with letters for and against 
the choice of Hayes as speaker.

Hayes had been fired in December of 1978 following an incident in which 
he punched a Clemson University player during the final minutes of the 
Gator Bowl in which Ohio State lost 17-15.

In the April 10 Index, President Charles McClain said several people were 
considered before Hayes was chosen. McClain said he was aware of the Gator 
Bowl incident but felt one mistake was not enough to keep Hayes from 
speaking. "How many chances is a man allowed in life?" he asked. "It will 
be a more exciting commencement than average."

After hearing Hayes speak, the opinions still differed.

Graduating senior Valerie Johnson said, "He was really terrible. I thought 
the choice of using him in the first place was inappropriate."

Johnson said the speech had a negative tone. "I didn't like the way he 
seemed to cut down today's women. The speech was very irrelevant and his 
whole speech seemed off the wall."

Graduating senior Paul Wernsman felt differently. "I thought he was the 
best speaker I've heard," he said. "There was a lot of criticism about 
him, but really, he is a hell of an educator and a great speaker."

Hayes is a 1935 graduate of Denison University, Granville, Ohio, where 
he majored in English and history. He was the head coach at Ohio State 
for 28 years, compiling a record of 205-61-10 and winning 13 Big Ten
 titles. He also coached the Buckeyes to two undefeated national 
championships in 1954 and 1968.

The day was memorable in other respects. Unlike last year when the 
temperature dipped into the 40s, graduation was held during warm, 
sunny weather.

"How many chances is a man allowed in life?"
-- President McClain

1980 spring commencement speaker Woody Hayes

Graduating senior Susie Gerstenkorn said, "It's a day I'll never forget. 
I can't explain the pride I felt knowing I was now a college graduate. 
All those long hours of study now seemed worth the trouble."

Most of the graduates were pleased with the ceremony. Johnson said, "It 
was a neat feeling, walking from Baldwin Hall to Stokes (Stadium) with 
everybody watching. You felt like you were in a parade."

Graduation was the last day many of the seniors would be in Kirksville. 
Some graduates were now faced with the task of looking for a job, while 
others already had one.

But they agreed the diploma was important. "It confirmed my last four 
years were well spent," Gerstenkorn said. ECHO

Summer School: 
Drought in job market
by Andie Norton 

If a person visited campus and saw students walking around, calling 
out greetings and going to classes, they would probably assume it 
was a normal semester.

This was the case last summer because of the unusual amount of 
students.

According to Dave Rector, director of Computer Services, during 
the past summer, there was a record high enrollment of 2,502 
students, whereas in previous years the average has been 
approximately 2,200.

The highest percentage of these students were graduate students 
working toward their master's degrees. However, Terry Taylor, 
director of admissions, said students enrolled in the summer 
sessions because of the state of the economy. Summer jobs were 
scarce.

"A lot of kids got jobs, but I couldn't get one and since I was a

Summer jobs were scarce

transfer student, I was behind in hours. So it gave me a chance to 
get caught up," Connie Dorothy, senior, said.

Barb Robertson, senior, said, "I wanted to work on my certification 
and get some classes out of the way so I wouldn't have such a heavy 
load my senior year." Besides getting a head start on the fall semester, 
some students picked other reasons.

Lisa Ryals, sophomore, said, "Well, I didn't have anything else to do."

A graduation fan -- The heat of the day did not diminish as the ceremony 
closed. Anita Staziak creates a breeze with her program. Staziak finished 
her degree by taking 11 hours during the summer.

Mark Kraber, senior, liked the faster pace. "It was a good chance to 
pick up some extra hours and the pace seemed faster so it seemed like 
the classes got through faster."

Summer school provided a quick way of advancement for Peggy Sue Walker, 
graduate student, of Revere.

She had been offered a job in counseling if she got her certification, 
so she enrolled in a 3-day workshop and a summer class to qualify for 
a temporary certification in guidance.

Some students, such as Mary Alice Donovan, senior, chose the summer 
session because of special offerings. "I wanted to take a class in 
the summer to get a particular teacher that doesn't usually teach it 
in the fall."

So whether it be economics, education or the uniqueness of last summer 
that brought these men and women to school for the summer months, it 
all adds up to one thing: 2,502 students. ECHO

History in a flash -- The threat of rain forced the summer graduation 
ceremony inside. Although the ceremony was in Pershing Arena, the 
procession was still held. Spectators wait to capture a picture of 
the graduates.

and music majors, perform at the summer graduation with the

Summer School: 
Too hot
by Carla Robinson 

Two new records were set this summer, practically in a row. On 
July 30, the mercury touched in at 105 degrees and on Aug. 1 
temperatures reached 103.

"It must have been 105 degrees and the humidity was so bad I 
thought I'd die," Jerri Harris, senior, said.

Readings in the upper 80s and lower 90s were the rule during 
the first week of July. The second week competed closely as 
temperatures leveled off in the upper 90s until finally the 
mercury was pushed to the lOO degree mark and above.

The sun then beat down on Kirksville for seven days, each day 
boasting temperatures of 97 and beyond.

For those who were able to go from air-conditioned homes to 
air-conditioned places of work and back, the heat was probably 
not a significant problem. For those attending school, 
unfortunately, the heat was a factor to be dealt with in 
a variety of ways.

of classes this year. Since Harris spent the hottest part of each 
day working in an air-conditioned office or attending classes which 
were also air-conditioned, the heat did not affect her as much as she 
noticed it did other students, she said. "I couldn't believe it was 
so hot," Harris recalled. "I tried not to spend much time in my room."

Another third-year summer student, Sue Albach, senior, said the heat 
did not affect her as much as it did other students, although for 
different reasons. "It (the heat) didn't bother me. We didn't have 
air-conditioning at home," Albach said.

Overall the heat tended to make students living in the residence halls 
more lethargic, resident assistant Dale Brewer said. Brewer noted that 
the students seemed to be more irritable than during a regular session.

Albach also noted fellow residents were rowdier and louder than normal.

Beating the heat began to be a way of life as students found places 
where they could study in comfort.

"I put off studying until the sun went down," Harris admitted. Others 
spent time in the cafeteria.

Albach said she got up earlier, about 4 a.m., to study. "It was cooler 
and quieter at that time."

Students would go to the main lounges to study, Brewer said. There were 
others in the lounge who wanted to relax. Finding a happy medium, where 
both groups could make use of the air-conditioned comfort was a problem.

Ron Gaber, director of housing, said the Housing Office did what it could 
by keeping the lounges as cold as possible.

Lounges were also used by students wishing to get a good night's sleep, 
Harris said. "I spent the hottest nights in my suitemate's room. She had 
air conditioning because of her health."

Housing, however, allowed students to have air conditioners for the first 
time this summer whether a health problem was the reason or not, Brewer 
said. "They paid $15 per summer session and the air conditioners were 
restricted to a limited level of power."

Although the summer has been noted for being the hottest since the 1930s, 
the students attending classes for the most part did not notice a difference 
in the course work.

Since most classes met in air-conditioned rooms, Harris said, there was 
no reason for instructors to lessen the work load.

Albach said some of her classes, ironically, were let out early because 
the rooms were so cold. "You never knew how to dress," she said. "If you 
dressed for the heat, you froze in your classrooms."

Leisure time was also affected by the heat. There were more people who 
made use of the pool, Albach said. The swimming pool has a capacity of 
lOO people. "We had people waiting in line for as long as 30 minutes 
just to get in. As soon as one person left, another would be allowed 
in," she said.

With temperatures reading in the upper 80s and 90s during the summer, 
finding ways of coping with the heat was a necessary preoccupation.

Summer School:
The shades of summer school
by Jenny Jeffries

When most students think of going to summer school, they think 
of three carefree months in a relaxed atmosphere, endless parties 
during hot summer nights and plenty of time soaking up the sun. 
To some, however, the realities of summer school turned out 
differently than they expected.

Barb Ryan, junior, said she had little time after working at a 
part-time job and doing homework every night.

By the time she finished what she had to do there was no time to 
go to the lake or anywhere else.

Boredom was a problem for Jan Parker, junior, who did not work 
and expected more activities during the summer. "In the regular 
semester you can put homework off without too many problems. 
With classes every day, there was homework every night."

Mark Morrissey, junior, like many students, had to work long hours 
in addition to attending classes so he could pay for tuition and 
fees.

Morrissey said, "I would definitely do it again to get some classes 
out of the way. During regular semesters it's not that big of a 
burden to drop a rough class if you've got those extra hours to 
lean back on."

On the other hand, Corie Kidd, junior, who had to work 40 hours a 
week, said she would not go back unless it was necessary for her to 
graduate. She thought it was too much of a grind to work until 
midnight and then have to get up for 8 a.m. classes.

Scott Zajac, sophomore, complained about classes that lasted two 
hours every day. They tended to be boring, he said. "It was harder 
than I expected and the teachers tried to cover all the material 
for 18 weeks in five weeks, instead of just skimming over it, which 
made school much too rushed." Despite these problems, Zajac plans 
to take classes again next summer, although he said he would only 
go for one session because he needed a summer break.

Morrissey also said he missed having a summer break. He felt the 
three weeks between the end of spring semester and the first summer 
session were not long enough to get much accomplished. Unlike most 
people, Morrissey thought classes were easier because the tests 
were closer together.

That made it easier to remember information, he said. The part of summer 
school he disliked most was the large amount of reading that was assigned.

In spite of the drawbacks, many students chose to pick up classes in the 
summer and put up with the academic and financial pressure, the heat and 
the boredom of college life in the summer ECHO

A matter of degrees

It is June. But instead of taking off for a vacation, you are 
going back to school for the summer vacation. What if you are 
married and do not live in Kirksville?

When Max Nunn of St. Charles came to work on his degree, his 
wife and his 16-year-old son stayed at home. He said, "My son 
went to summer school, and later they went to visit her folks 
in Texas."

Nunn attended both summer sessions and was away from home almost 
10 weeks. It is not unusual for the Nunns to be apart during the 
summer, Mrs. Nunn said. "One summer, I went to school and he went 
to visit his family in Oklahoma." In fact, contact between the 
Nunns was minimal. "She's not much of a hand to write," he said. 
"If she wants to contact someone, she calls them. And I didn't have 
much time to write." 

However, one weekend during the summer, Mrs. Nunn and Joshua, their 
son, came up to visit.

"I've met and studied with some very interesting people," Nunn said 
in reference to the Education Division staff. "I have really, really 
gained a lot of knowledge from working with these people. They're 
very exciting to work with."

Byron Yelverton of Louisiana (Mo.) also brought his family to Kirksville 
with him. His wife and two young daughters lived in the University-owned 
Campbell Apartments.

"I just don't think that she'd be as happy if I were away a week at a 
time, and I know the kids wouldn't be," Yelverton said. "I know I wouldn't 
be. I'd just hate to be up here and be away from her and the kids."

In 1979, Mrs. Yelverton accompanied her husband, but did not take classes 
because she was pregnant with their youngest child. Last summer, she took 
Psychology of the Exceptional Child in order to qualify for renewal of her 
teaching certificate. "I needed the course anyway, so we decided we both 
might as well go to school," Mrs. Yelverton said.

"It's obviously a good opportunity for her to take classes," Yelverton 
said. "But it was hard on her, taking classes and taking care of the 
kids."

The Yelvertons as well as Frank and Kathy Berlin of Brunswick, who also 
lived in Kirksville during the summer, went home on weekends to pick up 
the mail and mow the lawn.

Each family lived 120 miles from Kirksville.

The choice of Kirksville living was determined for the Berlins not only 
by the cost of gas, but by Mrs. Berlin's summer job in Kirksville.

Being close to campus was also an asset. "We spent a lot of time in the 
library." Berlin said.

Being close to campus was not important for Deanna Dunn of Memphis. Since 
she only lived a half-hour away, she sometimes postponed her trip home by 
stopping at the library.

Mrs. Dunn felt her studies benefited from her home life. "I can study 
better if I come home and do some things and then study."

The cost of gas, her light course load and her family tied her to her 
home. "I never even thought about living over there (Kirksville). All 
the times that I've gone to summer school, it's really never upset the 
pattern here at home," Mrs. Dunn said.

Whether it's separating for a period of weeks, changing locations or 
driving back and forth, married summer students find ways to cope with 
the temporary lifestyle they have chosen. ECHO

Although the Bulldogs won the game, controversy over the queen 
contest and lack of a concert made it
Half a homecoming

It was a very different Homecoming. It began as the coldest Homecoming 
day in years. Even though this was the 40th anniversary, there was no 
traditional concert, and a controversy arose over the selection of the 
Homecoming Queen and her court.

The lack of a Homecoming concert caused a good deal of concern and 
disappointment for many students. At first, the West Coast-based rock 
group Poco was scheduled to perform the annual concert. Then, on Oct. 3, 
the group's agent called and cancelled the booking, citing the reason to 
be a lack of other bookings in the Missouri area and personal conflicts 
within the group itself, junior Keith Schneider, Student Activities Board 
member in charge of concerts, said.

After that, he said, "We tried to find another group. It's hard to find 
someone with that big of name to play up here."

It was beginning to look like there would not be a concert at all. Then 
Rodney Dangerfield was offered $25,000 to do one show, more money than 
has ever been offered for a Homecoming concert, Vonnie Nichols, director 
of student activities, said. But that fell through also.

Had the concert taken place, there

was a possibility it could have been the first to be performed in Pershing 
Arena since the renovations. Before, the administration has been skeptical 
of allowing Pershing to be used because of accidental damage, especially 
to the new floors. "Nothing was settled yet, but the concert fell through 
(eliminating the issue)," Schneider said.

It was finally announced on Oct. 16, nine days before Homecoming, that 
there would be no concert.

Some students blamed SAB. Jenenne Davis, junior, said she held SAB responsible 
for disappointing the students. "They should have had the contract signed before 
advertising." Michele Talbot, freshman, said she was disappointed. "Homecoming 
is something you look forward to every year, but I don't blame SAB."

The next controversy began after the announcement of the Homecoming Queen 
candidates.

The five finalists for queen were selected for the second year by a panel 
consisting of an administrator, a faculty member, a student, a prominent 
member of the community and an alumnus, Nichols said.

Members of the Association of Black Collegians issued a protest against the 
selection process saying racial discrimination was involved.

Out of the 20 candidates running for queen, five were black, including 
Pam McDaniel, sophomore, who was elected queen. Wendy Tabron, senior, 
said equal representation was denied to the black students of the 
campus.

"We feel the blacks were not represented in Homecoming activities, nor have 
they been in the past," she said.

ABC circulated a petition in front of the Student Union Building in an 
effort to encourage students to protest the suspected discrimination.

A few days later, the protest was dropped. The withdrawal came after an 
assurance that no

Homecoming (cont.)

consideration of race was taken into account when interviewing the 
contestants, Karla Carver, senior and student chairman for the 
Homecoming candidate selection committee, said.

The protest withdrawal also followed a formal meeting of ABC where 
the issue was discussed and evaluated.

Support from the executive board was lacking and other members were 
not behind the protest issue, Karla Williams, senior and president 
of ABC, said.

On the Thursday of Homecoming week, McDaniel, sponsored by Sigma Sigma 
Sigma social sorority, was crowned. Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority candidate 
junior Sherry Doctorian; and Business Administration Club candidate senior 
Valerie McHargue were selected as McDaniel's attendants.

McDaniel is a former member of ABC and the daughter of a black mother and 
white father. She said she saw the queen selection as being fair to all 
contestants.

Residence halls were judged on Friday afternoon. The homecoming theme was 
"All That Jazz." RHA Decorations Chairman Stephanie Sayles said the halls 
were judged not only on theme but also on the basis of creativity, use of 
color and originality. Dobson Hall was awarded first place; Centennial Hall 
placed second. Grim Hall and Fair Apartments were disqualified from the 
competition because of a miscalculation in the totaling of the receipts for 
the decorations and a failure to turn the receipts in by the deadline.

An Oktoberfest, sponsored by the Horse and Rodeo Club, was held at the Rieger 
Armory Friday night.

The band Ferrari played to a crowd of 1,200 people, Mike Mullins, junior and 
Horse and Rodeo Club treasurer, said.

Parade-goers braved the chilly Saturday morning temperatures to line Franklin

The weather was also responsible for minimizing the number of people 
staying for the entire football game. But in spite of the cold, the 
Bulldogs defeated Northwest Missouri State University, Maryville, by 
a score of 14-10.

The weekend concluded with an SAB-sponsored dance Saturday night in 
the Activities Room of the SUB. Almost 500 people attended the dance 
at some point during the evening, senior Lynn Brockfeld, special events 
chairman for SAB, said.

The dance was much better attended than last year and Brockfeld attributed 
that to the lack of a concert. "There's always a night (during Homecoming) 
when there's not much to do." This year was certainly no exception.

In many ways Homecoming 1980 was like no other. To some it was disappointing; 
to others it was still Homecoming in spite of the absence of some of the 
traditional activities. Nichols said, "Everyone seemed to have a good time 
at the events that were scheduled." ECHO

Far East steps onto Baldwin stage

"An adventure in Chinese" was the theme for a colorful dance program 
performed by the Youth Goodwill Mission of the Republic of China, 
Taiwan. The student performers danced to Chinese songs representing 
their heritage and culture.

The tour was the Mission's sixth in the United States, but for most 
members, it was their first visit to America. The Mission consisted 
of 14 members selected from among 104 institutions in Taiwan. Most 
were not dance majors, but their common bond was a love of dance.

The first act of their performance to a full house in Baldwin Hall 
showed the roots of Chinese culture in Taiwan. With the prologue, 
"Life is a Beautiful Song," the students brought greetings to their 
American friends. "In the Marketplace" represented a traditional 
Chinese marketplace where a group of gypsies danced for the crowd. 
An acrobat performed stunts while two Kung Fu experts fought and a 
storyteller told a tale of two young lovers.

The second act showed early Chinese settlers in Taiwan. The students 
acted out the roles of their ancestors immigrating from the Chinese 
mainland 300 years ago. "Crossing the Black Water" was a dramatic and 
emotional dance. The use of a billowing white cloth created the effect 
of a turbulent sea, and pounding drums and screams produced an atmosphere 
of fear and danger. "the whistle of the train" depicted the progression 
into an industrialized nation. With two sticks as props, the performers 
created the image of a train chugging down the tracks.

The final piece, "A Celebration," featured flying red silk scarves which 
contrasted with the bright blue, orange and yellow costumes of the dancers. 
The Mission bade the audience farewell during this song. The audience, 
however, was reluctant to let them go. A standing ovation brought them back 
for an encore performance of a song in tribute to the Chinese flag. ECHO

Love conquers all -- In "Swallow, Oh Dear Swallow" the bride and bridegroom

By appearing 45 minutes late and failing to play his hit single 

Bishop fooled around and fell, in the eyes of the audience
by Carla Robinson

The crowd began to get impatient as the stage remained calm with no 
signs of the awaited singer. Forty-five minutes later, the star of 
the evening hurried on the stage, guitar in hand, to a burst of 
applause.

Spring concert held disappointment for many and surprise for a few. 
Baldwin Hall, with a capacity to seat 1,500, held less than 500 
people. This was a letdown to members of the Student Activities 
Board, Joe Belzer, freshman member of SAB, said.

The concert, however, was attended by an enthusiastic crowd. They 
applauded for three encores, but left disappointed when Elvin Bishop 
did not play his hit song, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love." Bishop 
said they did not play the song because the lead singer was no longer 
with the group. "After you play a song 10,000 times, it's like telling 
the same joke over and over again. It gets old," Bishop said.

Bishop started his career at the age of 17. "I noticed that all the 
professional singers had lots of girls around them, so I decided, heh, 
that's what I want to do," Bishop said. After 20 years in the business, 
he is looking forward to an even more rewarding future.

Bishop seemed somewhat modest regarding his musical talent. He does not 
label his style. "I play it, you tell me about it," he said. He is one 
performer who likes to perform among the crowd; therefore, Bishop did not 
like the set-up of Baldwin Auditorium. "It's too far away from the people," 
he said. Bishop likes seeing people's faces to get a feeling of togetherness

In an effort to achieve the mood he wanted, Bishop jumped from the stage, a 
smoking cigarette jammed between the tuning keys of his guitar. He mingled 
with the audience, who responded with enthusiasm.

Double strumming -- Stillwater guitarists Bobby Golden and Jimmy Hall 
concentrate on each other's rhythm as they highlight one of the solos 
used to cover for Elvin Bishop's late arrival. In addition to elaborate 
solos Stillwater used a voice box and audience participation to spice up 
their part of the concert.
 

(Page 27)

Backing it up -- In the middle of a stage littered with 
electronic equipment, Mike Causey, rhythm guitarist for 
Stillwater, solos on an unusual guitar.

A little more jamming -- Lacy Sebie sings the lead of 
Stillwater's songs and plays drums. Guitarist Jimmy Hall 
keeps the beat with his knee and head, swinging his hair 
in tempo with the song.

Some students did not like the way Bishop presented his songs. 
Steve Lamzik, sophomore, said he thought the performance was 
fake, a put-on. Joel Cruz, freshman, however, thought the concert 
was excellent.

Although Bishop was late, the lead-up band, Stillwater, managed to 
keep the mood of the audience with additional songs and extra long 
solos.

Stillwater's drummer, Lacy Sebie, expressed a little disappointment 
in the size of the audience. Stillwater is accustomed to performing 
for audiences of 1,500 or more. "But the audience was

"College audiences are more sophisticated . . . "

enthusiastic, and that is what counts. College audiences are more 
sophisticated. They sit back and observe the music, where at a 
nightclub people are more loose and get involved in the music," 
he said.

Each song that Stillwater presented reflected back on the group's 
unconscious theme, having a good time. "I Reserve the Right to be 
Crazy" and "Don't You Wanta Have a Good Time" set the mood for 
Stillwater's hit song, "Mindbender," which used voice boxes to give 
the effect of a talking guitar.

Stillwater began about eight years ago, Sebie said, and the members 
are all from the same area. After a try at college life, the group 
started a band, be said.

Bob Spearman, keyboard player for Stillwater, expressed an optimistic 
view of the future of rock and roll. Disco is going down with punk rock, 
Spearman said.

Stillwater has had eight or nine bookings with Bishop and they get along 
well, Sebie said. The first performer of the night, Michael Jordon, however, 
has had just one booking with the other two groups.

Jordon, from Chicago, Ill., coupled his guitar with harmonica pieces, 
achieving a down-home country style. The crowd was slow in response to 
songs such as "I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate," "Wet Dog 
Blues," and "How Could You Not Love a Guy Who Wrote a Song Like This," 
but eventually warmed up a little and were ready for the harder music 
of Stillwater and Elvin Bishop. ECHO

A natural scene
by Melanie Mendelson

Baldwin Hall was in all its barren glory when the American classic 
"Our Town" was presented.

Thornton Wilder designed the play without the aid of props or scenery, 
so the stage of the Little Theater was totally bare except for two 
tables and some chairs representing the households of the Webbs and 
the Gibbses.

The play portrayed life in a small town in the beginning of the 20th 
century, and revolved around the three most important phases of life: 
daily living in the first act, love and marriage in the second act, 
and death in the third act.

The most notable character in the play was the stage manager, portrayed 
by Jeff Strong, senior. His role was hard to define because it was so 
versatile. As a thread of continuity, he spoke to the audience when 
introducing the play, and yet he still remained in direct contact with 
the characters throughout all three acts.

The plot was both poignant and funny. It related to the crowd's experience. 
Audience members responded to George and Emily when they fell in love and 
were married. During the last scene, spectators were deeply moved by the 
role that death plays in everyone's life.

Steve Lamzik, sophomore, was captivated by "Our Town." "I loved it," he 
said. "The death scene was especially good. It changed my attitude toward 
death, and broadened my mind to living."

Most students were enthusiastic about the play's realism and the way it 
depicted life in a small town.

Playing house -- Seniors Deanna Swann and Luella Aubrey pantomime shelling 
beans during a scene from the play "Our Town." The actors used imaginary 
props throughout the play, relying on their actions for expression of 
ideas.

"I liked the play," said Bob Davidson, sophomore. "I thought the mime 
effects were pretty good. It was different from any play I'd ever seen, 
and it portrayed everyday life and the problems you face as life goes 
along."

Mitch Hamilton, junior, confessed that he did not like the play. "I didn't 
like it because I'd rather watch something that's not good for you and not 
socially acceptable," he explained. "In a general sense, it was realistic, 
but dead people don't talk back. I didn't really get a whole lot out of it 
because I watched it just to write a review on it." He was enrolled in 
Theater Appreciation. The review was an assignment.
 

(Page 29)

The bare stage technique and the use of mime effects for 
"Our Town" were a departure from traditional props and stage 
settings, and the actors felt it.

Luella Aubrey, senior, who played Mrs. Gibbs, said, "I started 
out cold turkey with mime but once I started thinking about the 
actions and everything, it was great."

"The play was hard to do because it's been done so much," Strong 
said. "It's extremely hard to do something new and interesting 
with an old play. The lines were easy, though. It was plain and 
simple language that everyone can understand."

Michael Collins, senior, who played Doc Gibbs, said, "The script 
makes the show. It's so well written that the play carries itself. 
We probably didn't come close to portraying the characters the way 
Wilder wrote it because each production is different."

Deanna Swan, senior, who played Mrs. Webb, said, "It's really hard 
for me to play age. I'm used to playing in roles my age and I found 
it hard to portray middle age."

"It's a gradual process," Strong added. "You have to let the 
characters grow."

Collins said, "You have to internalize how the character feels 
inside and act like that. The stage manager had the most 
difficult part."

"I had to talk to the audience and also be in the play relating 
to the characters," Strong said.

Julia Miller, sophomore, who played Emily Webb, said she had 
difficulty in the death scene of the play. "I had to let go of 
the physical world," She said. "In the last act, I had to be 
really serious, and feel what Emily was feeling."

Eric Lanham, sophomore, who portrayed George Gibbs, said, "I had 
to work on my character. It wasn't really hard to play George, but 
I had to get in touch with his feelings."

The cast noticed a diversity in the audience over the four nights 
they were on stage. "Every night it changed," said Aubrey. "Opening 
night was the best because everyone was psyched up about it."

"The older audience would probably react more to it than a younger 
crowd," Strong said. "They'd appreciate it more because it'd get to 
them.

But there was no barrier with the audience. The play was an indication 
of what life was really like. ECHO

Blossoms of Russia

On his death bed -- After his employers vacated the house, Fiers, 
the butler, played by freshman Jason Grubbe, lies near death in 
the final scene of the fall production "The Cherry Orchard."

Back when -- Reminiscing about the better days of the cherry orchard, 
Jason Grubbe as Fiers, Bill Lemen as Gayelf, and Keith Oliver as 
Pistchik are sorrowful over its end.

A touching scene -- Senior Mike Collins and Pat Harris, wife of J. G. 
Severns, director, discuss the Russia of their time and before in a 
scene from "Cherry Orchard." Harris played the lead in the play.

While the cast performs on stage, the tech crew gives a
Backstage performance
by Melanie Mendelson

The sound of applause thundered through the Little Theater. They 
stood backstage, knowing they helped produce the show, but realized 
the applause was not for them.

What most of the audience members did not realize was the number of 
people and effort it took to build the set, find props and prepare 
lighting techniques.

'"Bedroom Farce' had around 50 people who actively produced the 
show," Jim Severns, professor of dramatics and director, said.

"We have a technical director, a stage manager, a costume designer, 
a property master and people who work on the set for stage craft and 
designing classes."

Technical director John Whiting was in charge of the entire set. 
"I don't generally read the script at all when I design sets. A 
lot of details are given in the script, but I don't like to follow 
them. I get most of the ideas out of my head."

Whiting said he knew he had to build three bedrooms, so he and two 
interns finished the beds before Christmas vacation. One of the 
biggest problems a technical director faces is the limited space 
in the Little Theater. "We realized the low height, depth and width 
in the Little Theater and were able to work around it."

The technical crew had to start rehearsing as soon as the cast did. 
"The cast starts (rehearsing) on a bare stage," Severns said. "We 
like the actors to be separate from the tech crew. At (technical) 
rehearsals, we don't want to stop for the actors' problems."

Severns said they did have practice furniture before the set was 
complete. A special rehearsal, called dry tech, was held for the tech 
crew. "Dry tech is for operational problems like lights," Severns said, 
"We run through all the cues and try to get the timing just right. 
There's a simple board in the Little Theater and manual dexterity is 
required to operate it. Sometimes there's only a minute or two between 
cues. The operator has to be like a piano player."

A particular problem encountered in "Bedroom Farce" was the number 
of times the telephone was to ring before the actor picked it up.

"The operator runs blind," Severns said. "He was given a verbal cue 
and then counted to seven before he cut off the rings. Timing was 
very important."

Besides the set, costumes are

played by Deanna Swan, tries to help him up, hampered by the 
character's bad back.
 

(Page 31)

an important part of a production, the designer Nancy Goeke, graduate 
student, fit, dyed, and hemmed to prepare garments for the show

"I do pencil sketches of outfits and them to Doc (Severns) for approval," 
she said. "A lot of the costumes we already have down in the shop, so we 
dye them or redo them."

one bedspread, for example, was a sheet that was dyed and cut into scallops, 
Goeke said. "It was le to represent an older couple."

Before making the costumes, Groeke measures everyone. "I get a garment 
almost done and then fit it and see what else it needs."

Sometimes she ran into problems with a particular outfit, such as a blue 
dress that was supposed to be worn in the first act. "The dress was originally 
a cream color and I dyed it blue," Goeke said. "It was a loose weave and the 
material kept stretching. It stretched so much that she couldn't wear it and 
had to wear a gray pants suit instead of the dress."

Another triviality the audience may overlook is the use of props on stage. 
Props give the actors something to do with their hands, in addition to making 
the play more realistic. Props were bought and borrowed for the play.

Property mistress Donna Buck, sophomore, said her job involved a lot of running 
around and trying to assemble everything. "We have a lot of things in the property 
room," she said. "The stuff we don't have, we have to buy or borrow." Buck tried 
to buy materials as cheaply as possible because of a limited budget. "Most of the 
stuff was borrowed." The telephones in the show, for example, were borrowed from 
Southwestern Bell. An antique phone was worth $160, Buck said. "At night, we have 
to lock up things that are valuable."

A lamp in another room presented a problem because someone had to be hit with 
it during a fight scene in the second act. "We borrowed the lamp and had to 
glue styrofoam to the bottom and put layers of paint on it," Buck said.
"We had to make it look realistic but we didn't want anyone to get hurt."

Buck also had to pay attention to small details on stage. For instance, a 
magazine read on stage was supposed to be British, she said. "I looked all 
over, in the library and bookstores, but couldn't find a British magazine. 
Finally Doc found one at home and we used it."

Food on stage had to be prepared to look realistic. The script called for 
fish on toast in the second act. "It was lots of mayonnaise and beef spread 
on toast," Buck said.

Severns warned them to take small bits so the food would not interfere with 
their speech. "We put lots of mayonnaise on it to make it slide down easier," 
he said.

Between the set designers and the cast was the stage manager: the middleman 
between the actors, the tech crew and the director. Stage manager Greg Pauley, 
junior, said he had to attend every rehearsal and keep track of actors and 
properties. "I work with Doc a lot, and call cues for lights," he said.
"I sit in the house and call cues to the actors if they forget their lines 
or move out of the light. When the director's finished, it's the stage 
manager's show."

Severns had to go out of town one night and Pauley ran the rehearsal. 
"I think it prepares me to be a director," he said. I got a lot of 
experience working with people." ECHO

by Scott Collins

Vincent Price gracefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a 
crinkled napkin as he swallowed a bite of his hamburger. Price 
was remembering the time he was to perform at a college in a 
Midwestern town. It was during the 1960s and the president of 
the college warned him that one of two things could happen. 
Either no one would be there in protest, or everyone would be 
there in protest.

When he arrived at the auditorium, the seats were empty. Then, 
10 minutes before the start of the show, the entire student body 
converged on the building for a riot. He said students all over 
the United States had been protesting the Vietnam War.

Price, however, continued with the program as planned and by the 
end of the performance the whole audience was captivated. "There 
was no riot."

Price came to campus Sept. 23 and portrayed the Victorian English 
playwright Oscar Wilde. The one-man play was written by John Gay 
and portrayed Wilde giving a lecture to an audience in France toward 
the end of his life. Price has done the play in more than lOO cities. 
"The audience is what makes the play so good," he said.

"For 30 years I have been doing this (public speaking)," Price said. 
"I do it with a definite attitude that I am an American." He is as 
proud to be an American as Oscar Wilde was not to be an Englishman.

Roses and laurels -- Price waltzes onto stage to lengthy applause. 
The rose was tossed to a delighted spectator when Price made his 
final bow, leaving the audience still in a standing ovation.
 

(Page 33)

The Price of fame

Double deception -- The liquid Wilde believed to be liqueur was 
actually water. The audience took his reaction to be a joke on 
Kirksville's water and broke into cheers and applause.

Diversions and delights -- Wilde drifts off into a lengthy 
reminiscence of "dear, dear Bosey," his ex-lover. Bosey's 
father prosecuted Wilde for homosexuality and Wilde served 
a prison term.

During the past 30 years, Price has played in more than 350 
cities in the United States, yet he finds the Midwest, especially 
Missouri and Michigan, the most cordial.

His visit to Kirksville marked the fourth time he has performed or 
lectured here. His first visit was in 1960. Price said NMSU is better 
than most places where he performs. He called it a real joy. "The 
success is much a result of the student body and faculty that makes 
you feel welcome."

He noted that the center of a college town, like Kirksville, is the 
college.

Price said many young people today, especially college-age people, 
find it hard to believe that he is actually a comedian.

He said because of the roles he often played in his movies, people 
around the age of 20 think of him as a villain. It is for that reason 
Price wants to be remembered as a comedian. "Wit is probably the best 
thing in the world," he said.

Part of the secret to his success is being in front of the people. 
"What do you have to do to survive in the theater? You have to do 
everything." Because he believes appearances are so important, Price 
has appeared in more than 1,100 airings of the game show "Hollywood 
Squares."

Although he is 69, Vincent Price does not plan to slow down. "Retirement 
is the kiss of death. I saw my father who, when he had to retire, just 
retired and died."

One thing is certain -- Price doesn't keep up his hectic pace for money. 
"Money makes people lazy." 

Another motivation for continuing his work is that Price likes what he 
is doing. He said many of his old friends are becoming interested in 
touring the country as he does.

To Price, his greatest critic is each person in the audience. When the 
play was over and he left the theater, his first question was, "Did the 
people enjoy it?" ECHO

Fine arts feud 
by Talley Hohlfeld
 

(Page 35)

Outside Baldwin Hall, J. G. Severns, professor of drama, stopped 
and looked in the vents of the recently built casements. He 
straightened up and continued inside. "Do you think we ought to call 
Security about those casements?" he asked senior Kurt Henke. "I keep 
hearing scratches on the inside." Henke replied, "Naw, it's probably 
a music major." And they laughed.

"A lot of it is joking," Lori Lee said. Lee, a senior, played Irene 
Molloy in the fall production of "Hello, Dolly!" She was talking about 
the tension between the music and drama departments that becomes evident 
during any musical production. "It's there. People talk about it backstage. 
Each of them (people from both departments) will talk to me, and there're 
a lot of snide comments." Lee, a communication major, has been in several 
theater productions, takes voice lessons and is in NEMOs.

Another NEMO Singer, sophomore Robbie Gleason, said he could see the 
conflict between the two departments. Gleason played Cornelius Hackle 
in "Hello, Dolly!" Although Lee said the conflict had always been 
around, Gleason said a lot of it started with the 1979 opera, 
"La Boheme."

The opera was pre-cast with no open auditions. Gleason and Lee said 
they thought this stirred up a lot of conflict, as many people hoped 
to audition and felt it was unfair.

Open auditions were held for "Hello, Dolly!" Even during auditions, 
feuds were going on, Gleason said. Some people were cast on the basis 
of past performances. Those who have proven they are serious about 
performing are more likely to be given parts, Gleason said. "It's 
political. It isn't just talent. With some people it's talent.
But if everybody knows you, the advantage is unsaid."

In musicals, as opposed to opera or legitimate theater, directors look 
for "actors who sing," director Al Srnka said. Dale Jorgenson, Fine Arts 
Division head and musical director, expressed an identical opinion.

Srnka and Jorgenson chose the cast with the advice of Clay Dawson, 
assistant professor of music. Jorgenson said that during musical 
years the theater department carries more clout in casting.

"The departments fight back and forth: 'I want my singer,' 'I want 
my actor,"' senior Luella Aubrey said. Aubrey has been involved 
extensively in theater and has been in other musicals. In "Hello, 
Dolly!" she was a member of the chorus with a speaking part.

"When we get done (casting), it's our intention to be unanimous," 
Jorgenson said. "We have one or two (actors) that wouldn't have been 
my first choice. Actually, we swapped on one. Maybe the one I wanted 
was more voice; that's my area of specialty."

Srnka felt the exchange was not an over-the-board swap. "I don't think 
either of us felt compromised." Srnka said the final casting was better 
than if the exchange had not been made.

Severns, who has directed musicals and operas in the past, said, "Since 
in a sense there're two departments, we try to trade off and compromise 
so that we get a balance."

The reason for the balance is that it benefits "the morale of both 
departments," Severns said.

One factor directors consider in casting a show is the range of a 
character's song, Jorgenson and Srnka said. Gleason, Lee, Jorgenson 
and Srnka agreed that the parts of Irene Molloy and Cornelius Hackle 
were the most musically demanding, and that Dolly Levi and Horace Vander 
Gelder were the most demanding theatrically.

Directors are not the only ones working to balance the music and theater 
areas. Katie Batchelor, who played Dolly, said, "Every once in a while we 
had conflicts between doing it (singing) proper style and just doing it. 
Onstage I don't sing properly; that's not the way I should sing. It's 
musical comedy style; you can hear me, and you can understand the words, 
but it's not the way I should sing."

Lee said leaving formal singing style behind is the hardest problem for 
those who are not used to musical comedy style.

Gleason agreed. "You can't just sing. You have to put personality into 
the song and sell it."

Selling the song can be difficult. "They (those with only traditional 
music training) are not used to putting everything into it," Lee said. 
"You're not just performing for the audience, you're communicating with 
the audience." Moving around the stage and getting rid of inhibitions 
are tough adjustments for music people, Lee said.

Elegance -- With tight pursestrings and high expectations, Barnaby and 
Cornelius convince Minnie and Irene Molloy it is elegant to stroll to 
Harmonia Gardens.

Well, hello, Dolly! -- Sophomore Katie Batchelor, as Dolly Levi, wows the 
waiters in her gala appearance at the Harmonia Gardens.
 

(Page 36)

Feud (cont.)

"Singers are not used to singing and moving at the same time, 
whereas actors are used to talking and moving," Aubrey said.

But music students are not the only ones who have problems due 
to the emphasis they have been studying. Lee said those who have 
never sung with an orchestra before can have problems with the 
musical precision required.

"Too many times musicians do it strict rhythms, exactly. In acting 
you're taught to do it by interpretation. We've got actors and 
singers, and actors aren't trained to watch the conductor," Lee 
said.

Jorgenson said the precision of the orchestra rests on the conductor. 
"Sometimes they (actors on stage) will do something you hadn't planned 
on. The excitement will speed up a singer's delivery." In that case, 
the conductor must either speed his orchestra up or slow the singer 
down.

"Hello, Dolly!" was particularly difficult, Jorgenson said, because 
lines and actions are mixed in with the music so much.

Srnka said he did not feel it was a matter of mixing lines and music. 
But he said he would have liked more orchestra time to perfect "The 
Waiters' Gallop," a dance scene near the end of the show.

Jorgenson went to most practices, and Dmitri Feofanov, graduate student, 
played the piano for rehearsals.

Gleason said the orchestra had been to three rehearsals before the 
invitational dress rehearsals.

"I think that'll probably be the weakest part of the show. I can't 
even believe they're not here," he said on rehearsal. "We've been 
here for six weeks rehearsing the show. It's not too much to ask 
them to come seven in a row. It can't be too much to ask." The 
orchestra worked with the cast for a total of nine nights, including 
performances. On the first night that the orchestra was present to 
run

Serving cheers -- Junior Ray Twenter played a waiter at the Harmonia 
Gardens in "Hello, Dolly!" Later in the show the waiters performed a 
precision dance called "The Waiters' Gallop"

Hats off -- Immediately smitten with Irene Molloy, Cornelius

No rain on this parade -- Members of the chorus march by during the 
14th Street parade. Each person passed by three times after quick 
costume changes backstage.

through the entire play, things did not go particularly smoothly. 
The rehearsal for a show that ran just under two hours including 
intermission started at 8 p.m. and ended around 11 p.m.

Another problem stemmed from the actual production work that was 
involved. It became a joke that "the Fine Arts Division presents" 
the musical, Lee said. The directors mentioned at rehearsal that 
only the theater department was involved in the play; artists did 
not design, build or paint sets; musicians sang and played 
instruments, with limited help from the orchestra; but theater 
majors built sets, made costumes, applied makeup and handled 
costumes, set shifting and lighting, Lee said.

Part of the complexity of the areas of involvement could be explained 
by the scope of musical theater. "There is probably no art form more 
complex or difficult than musical theater,"Severns said. "It involves 
the coordination of a lot of art." ECHO

Hut one, hut two -- The fighting Bulldogs tried desperately to 
please the parents and fans at the Parents Day football game. 
Although they took an early lead, the Bulldogs lost.

Hot dog -- At the first Parents Day picnic, Robin Kampmann, admissions 
counselor, serves Janet Bachman, freshman Marsha Bachman's sister. In 
past years, residence halls have been open.

The crisp, almost autumn morning air greeted parents as they visited 
campus Sept. 20, Parents Day. Five hundred more parents and relatives 
attended this year than last year, which broke the previous year's 
record. An estimated 3,300 people, not including students, participated 
in the activities.

An outdoor picnic highlighted the day for many families while the 
football game was the main attraction for others. "The picnic was 
a unique idea. It was interesting to see how many parents turned 
out," Dorothy Nelson, parent of senior Anne Nelson from Fulton, 
said.

Neil Reisch from Hallsville said he enjoyed the picnic and the football 
game. The Reisches traveled 90 miles to visit their freshman daughter, 
Joan.

Proud parents traveled miles to see their children participate in college 
activities. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lahan from Quincy, Ill., came to see their 
daughter, Lynda Sullivan perform in the band. Sullivan, freshman, played 
in the woodwind section of the Showboat Gamblers Band that entertained 
during halftime and in an encore presentation following the game.

Sophomore Mahlon Barker also participated in the band at halftime. His 
father, Joe Barker, came to see his son, who does not get home because 
of the practices. Mahlon Barker is the fourth child in his family to 
attend college here.

Joan Ahern from Winnetka, Ill., and Ann Higgins from Wilmette, Ill., 
drove the 7 1/2 hours together. They arrived just in time to watch 
their sons, sophomores Dan Ahern and Peter Higgins, play against 
Tennessee Tech.

During the game the Bulldogs held the lead until the last of the fourth 
quarter when the opposing team scored three touchdowns in 10 minutes to 
end the game with a score of 28-20.

Despite all the attractions planned to draw parents to the campus, most 
parents said they just came to get the family together for a day.

Mr. and Mrs. Bill Shaunnessy traveled 300 miles from Boling Brook, Ill., 
to visit their daughter, sophomore Peggy Shaunnessy. When asked what he 
missed most about having his daughter away from home, Shaunnessy jokingly 
replied, "The high phone bills." On a more serious note he added, "I just 
miss her."

The Bradens from Troy visited their freshman daughter, Deb Braden. Glenn 
Braden said although Deb writes often and visits home, he still misses his 
daughter. "She was my gabber. She shares common interests with me and she's 
a good listener," he said.

Braden said he sensed a family atmosphere around campus. Everyone was 
quick to make newcomers feel at home, he said.

And so the atmosphere surrounding Parents Day lingered throughout the 
entire day, until the last station wagon, filled with people waving at 
a lonely figure, pulled away from the curb to begin the trip home. ECHO

Even though their degrees are more important to them than their 
musical skills, these professional musicians still find time to 
play a 
Part-time gig

"Testing . . . one, two, three. Testing . . . one, two, three." The 
speakers crackle as the lead singer for The Mystery Train taps on the 
microphone. Guitar players pluck the E string repeatedly to make sure 
it is in tune, while drummers hit the snare over and over to listen to 
the tone.

But when the tuning is finished, the crowd sits back and gets ready to 
listen to the country and western music of The Mystery Train.

Junior Steve Sartorius works with The Mystery Train. He spends about 
16-18 hours per week with the band; 10 hours of the time actually 
performing, and six to eight hours on the road. In addition to playing, 
Sartorius also works at Hardee's full time. Although he plays mostly for 
enjoyment, he said the music business can be fairly profitable. "The 
cheapest place we play is the Flamingo Bar (in Kirksville) where I, 
myself, make $35. Anywhere else we play, the band gets $200 to $250 a 
night unless it's out of town, and then we get $275. During holidays 
and on New Year's Eve, we get about $650, which is really pretty good 
when you consider there are only four people in the band."

The Mystery Train plays mostly country and western music with a smattering 
of older rock 'n' roll mixed in. "We play songs by Hank Williams, The Oak 
Ridge Boys, Willie Nelson, and Charlie Pride. Actually, we play a little 
bit by almost everyone," Sartorius said.

The band has played nearly every weekend since their formation in 1979. 
Sartorius said strange things can happen to break up a regular 
performance.

"For awhile, after I first started, everytime we played "Get Back" by 
the Beatles, a fight would break out, no matter where we were," Sartorius 
said. "After awhile, we decided not to include that particular song in the 
show anymore."

Sophomore Jeff Lesan is not a newcomer to the business. He has been 
playing in bands on and off for years. Although Lesan is now owner 
of a mobile disco called the Dolby Brothers, for the last three summers 
he was the lead singer in a band called Tucket.

"Tucket was a band you'd want to have at an outdoor party," Lesan said. 
"I had a microphone with a long cord and went out into the crowd. We were 
a rock 'n' roll band with lots of partying music."

First formed in 1978, the band called itself Traama, then changed its name 
to Horizon. "I wrote a song with the title, 'Horizon,'" Lesan said. "But 
then we changed the name to Tucket. When we played somewhere, we had to 
pronounce the name slowly so the audience wouldn't think we were cussing 
at them."

Lesan said Tucket played hard rock and added some partying songs from 
Chuck Berry or Boston. "We mostly played for $80 an hour," he said. 
"We were pretty popular around New Melle, a town near St. Charles, 
and we've played at rock festivals with crowds up to 5,000."

Lesan wants to continue with his career in music. "I want to get back 
in the business," he said. "I'm a big ham."

Most students who play in bands do it for recreation and some extra cash, 
but they are usually amateurs. Senior Dave Kebschull, however, played 
keyboards for a group called the American Dream, which consisted of 
professional musicians.

"We played mostly top 40 and some disco," he said. "We cost $1,000 a 
night, which is pretty expensive, but people were willing to pay."

Kebschull said the band played at the Top of the Tower, a revolving 
restaurant at the top of the Holiday Inn in Des Moines, Iowa; in 
Kansas City; and at Greek functions at the University of Missouri-
Columbia.

"We played only on weekends," he said. "I always had to go out of town 
because the group was based in Des Moines. So I'd get up early and leave 
and hope I'd make it there on time." Although they are temporarily 
disbanded, American Dream has future plans of cutting an album. "One 
guy from the band is now with America," he said. "Once a band reaches 
a certain point, they live, eat and drink. They don't have to do anything 
else."

Since Kebschull has married, he does not see much of a future in playing 
in a band. "I'll teach music and maybe write some," he said. "But if there's 
time and if it fits in, I'd try it again."

Rapid Transit, a newly formed band, is well established although they have 
been in existence for only a year and a half. Freshman Dennis Gregory, lead 
guitarist for the band, said they get from $300 to $350 a gig, playing at 
schools or the Armory. "Once we played inside a prison (the minimum security 
prison at Moberly) for the inmates," he said. "It was a benefit concert and 
the prisoners liked it real well."

Rapid Transit plays mostly southern rock, Kebschull said, with music from 
Lynard Skynard, Molly Hatchet or Bad Company. "It's best for a band to

their offers come in spurts. Sometimes they will be booked for 
two weeks and at other times, they have two weeks off.

Gregory has played guitar for four years and feels it 
is something that will always stay with him. "Once you	
start playing, you always will." ECHO

Table service
by John Guittar

Students short of money become bartenders, checkers, baggers, or 
sales clerks. But with the increased number of fastfood chains and 
restaurants, some students find themselves waitressing. Pennie Reynolds, 
senior, is one of them.

Reynolds works at the Gingham Inn approximately 25 hours a week. "I 
work because Financial Aids doesn't provide enough income for me to 
live off of," Reynolds said.

Reynolds has worked in restaurants in Lancaster and Kirksville since 
the age of 12. She worked at Pancake City and now works at the Gingham 
Inn.

"Pancake City was fun because it was run by Italians. The owner's wife 
didn't know what biscuits and gravy were until she came to the Midwest," 
she said.

The working conditions at the Gingham Inn are good. "It's clean and the 
food is good," Reynolds said.

Coffee and tea -- Since there are no customers to wait on, with the 
permission of her employers, senior Pennie Reynolds attempts to study. 
Reynolds has worked on and off at Gingham Inn for five years.

Her tips fluctuate from shift to shift. "You really can't tell how 
someone will tip," Reynolds said. "The most I've ever received from 
one tip is $10.

Senior Janelle Potts said, "I like the tips at Pizza Hut. The biggest 
tip I've ever received was $5. That's pretty good for Pizza Hut."

The job of a waitress can also have its downfalls. Late night hours, 
propositions, and drunk customers are some of the problems. "One time 
a table of 24 guys tried to walk out without paying. I guess they didn't 
think I'd see them," Reynolds said.

Potts said "Sometimes we're really busy and we (the waitresses) have 
head-on collisions. It's really bad when one of us is holding a pitcher 
of water. One (waitress) spilled a pizza on the floor. It was really 
hysterical because it stuck to the carpet. The poor people were still 
hungry."

Working can cause problems with classwork. "Weekends are usually the 
only time I have to study. When I worked at Pancake City one summer I 
worked from midnight to 4 a.m. every night and tried to attend summer 
school as well. I was 45 minutes late to class sometimes," Reynolds 
said.

Potts has late night study habits. "I have 17 hours of classes and work 
30-35 hours a week. I'm mostly a night person and stay up late hours, 
sometimes until 2 a.m.," she said.

Time spent as waitresses has helped Reynolds and Potts realize the 
differences in people. "I've never been shy because I have always had 
to speak to strangers," Reynolds said.

Potts, on the other hand is usually shy. "Being able to talk to people 
as a waitress has given me an excuse to hide behind, because I'm shy."

Potts and Reynolds have chosen to finance their college expenses with 
an occupation that is familiar to them. The pay and late night hours 
of a waitress may not always be worth the effort involved, but they 
have combined their student life with their employment and made it 
work. ECHO

All in a night's work
by Patricia Guile

Except for an occasional all-nighter when a student stays up to 
study for a big test, or when there is a good party that continues 
until early hours, most students make a point of working in some 
sleep during the night. Yet some students have jobs that end with 
the sun rising on the horizon instead of setting. Somehow they seem 
to enjoy the late hours in spite of the problems caused by college.

Jack Kelly, sophomore, has found that working two jobs for a total of 
60 hours a week as a cook at the Kirksville Manor Care Home and a 
personal nurse, plus taking 12 hours of classes, requires a strict 
time budget and careful consideration for his health.

Kelly said he averages about four or five hours of sleep each night. 
"I have an electronic alarm clock I turn all the way up and it won't 
turn off until I get up and flip it off. Sometimes it has gone for 
15-20 minutes before I wake up."

Karen and Nancy Wommack, junior and sophomore, are both Centennial 
Hall night hostesses, monitoring the front entrance of the hall from 
11 p.m. until 7 a.m. once a week. Their alarm clocks are set as far 
away from the bed as possible so they are forced out of bed to shut 
them off.

Karen Wommack said many night hostesses drink a lot of coffee, hot 
tea and hot chocolate to stay awake.

At about 2 a.m. the doorbell starts ringing frequently as residents 
start coming back from parties. About 3 a.m. it starts to slow up and 
get pretty boring. "I save the cleaning of the lounge until late so 
that it gives me something to keep me busy," she said.

"I drink lots of coffee while on night duty," Cindy Moore, junior 
part-time honor guard for Safety and Security, said. By the end of 
a night shift a person can get pretty full of caffeine, which makes 
sleep nearly impossible.

In order to stay awake Kelly has tried taking a caffeine pilled called 
Vivarin which, on the contrary, made him more tired than before. He 
avoids the quick-energy pickups such as candy bars and other high-sugar 
food products available. Instead he eats fresh fruits such as apples, 
oranges and bananas, claiming the natural sugar in them provides a good 
source of energy pickup.

In addition to eating fruits, he also takes stress pills twice a day to 
keep his body from becoming run down. They cause the vitamin level to 
increase "and give a rebuilding effect to the body," he said.

Being active on the job seems to keep a worker from falling asleep. Walking 
in the cool weather and talking to other guards keeps Moore awake during the 
night.

Night hostesses con their friends into sharing a pizza if they will stay 
for awhile and talk, Nancy Wommack said. Others play cards, roll up their 
hair and do all sorts of handcrafts such as crochet to pass the time.

At home Kelly has a kitchen timer when he sets for periods of 35-40 minutes, 
during which he studies. When the timer goes off he quits studying and does 
something else like listen to music or clean the apartment. "Studying for 
long periods of time tends to overload the brain and then nothing sticks," 
he said. Sometimes Kelly works on homework for an hour and a half, then 
sleeps for a half hour and repeats the procedure until he finishes his 
assignment.

Sleeping during the day seems to throw off the entire schedule, Moore said. 
If a student lives in a residence hall, sleeping until late afternoon means 
that breakfast and lunch are missed. "One must follow the cafeteria schedule 
or you're just out of luck."

In spite of the drawbacks of working late, it still has an appeal for some 
students. "Once you get into a schedule and have a routine, you get used to 
not sleeping so much. It's all in the mind," Kelly said. ECHO

A thousand hills, a thousand parties
by Rhonda Stolte

Thousand Hills State Park, north of Kirksville, has been the site 
of countless parties. Whether scheduled ahead of time or spur of 
the moment, lake parties are popular during the warmer months. 
Although most of the parties include alcoholic beverages, not all 
do.

Mike Barnett, freshman, said he had been to a party at the lake, 
but there hadn't been any alcohol. "It was just a group of friends 
that got together for no real reason. I was just walking down the 
hall when I saw a friend of mine who asked if I was busy, and that 
was that. It was really just a bunch of friends getting together for 
a good time." They spent most of their time swimming and canoeing.

Bill Buntin, freshman, said he, too, has been to a spur-of-the-moment 
party at the lake. "Everybody was invited. Just whoever you saw, you 
invited." As for intoxicating beverages, Buntin said, "Sure, some of 
the kids had beer, but that wasn't the reason for the party. The idea 
was just to go out, be with your friends, play Frisbee or whatever, 
and have a good time."

Other parties do include alcohol. "Just a bunch of my friends, we call 
ourselves The Rowdies, decided to go out and get drunk," Dennis Hayes, 
sophomore, said. "About an hour before we headed out to the lake, we 
started calling around telling people to meet us out there."

The lake also seems to be a favorite place for floor parties. Pam Backe, 
sophomore, Dianne Lagemann, sophomore, and Sherry Johnson, freshman, all 
said they had been to a floor party given by a floor in another hall. It 
was primarily a party between brother and sister floors although other 
people were invited also.

The park seems to be the place around the Kirksville area to gather for 
a party. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone occupied. ECHO

It's a shore thing -- With the sun blazing brightly, students hit the 
lake with a six-pack or two to soak up sun and suds. Planned or 
spontaneous, warm weather parties at the lake are popular.

High prices put both students and bookstore management 
In a bind
by Melanie Mendelson and Pat Guile

At the beginning of every semester students make a pilgrimage 
to the Student Union Bookstore to purchase school materials 
and textbooks. Inevitably the student discovers that his money 
is the most unstretchable substance on earth.

With the bookstore a seemingly perfect target for student emotions 
concerning prices, manager of the store may not be the most popular 
University position. Harry Baldwin, the bookstore's manager, said 
he sees the same cycle of reactions every semester and believes lack 
of student understanding is one of the frustrations of the job.

"We (the bookstore) are operating at the same percent of profit as we 
did 15 years ago." On the sale of textbooks, "we actually lose three 
to four percent" on each book sold.

"On about 75 percent of all the textbooks sold, there is the general 
markup of 20 percent," which is the publisher's suggested price 
increase, Baldwin said.

Budget director John Jepson said altogether it cost $478,000 to put 
books on the shelf. The bookstore's net sales for the 1979-80 fiscal 
year were $886,917. Of that, $569,810 was book sales. Jepson said. 
They pay seven percent more on books than on any other material.

The 20 percent markup is significantly lower than some universities 
that charge up to 40 percent on a textbook, Steve Milgrom, instructor 
of business, said.

Because of increases in raw materials such as paper, ink, and gas, 
prices are continually climbing, Baldwin said, The price of freight 
alone adds an additional three or four percent since the bookstore 
must pay freight both ways when books are not needed.

Jepson said the bookstore pays $8 for the average $10 textbook. "But 
freight also costs. They really pay about $8.40. There's only a $1.60 
mark-up if you take freight costs into consideration."

The limited storage area is another contributing factor to

Doling out dollars -- At the beginning of the spring semester, freshman 
Pat McAfee records the check he just wrote to the Campus Bookstore.

Browsing for books -- During the fall book-buying season,

instead of books for class.

pricing, Baldwin said. Since the bookstore's area is small, 
bulk buying is impossible. "The bookstore operates on the 
last-in, first-out method of pricing," he said.

Baldwin said it would not be fair, if a student purchased 
an item at a certain price and a few hours later the store 
put out items with the new higher prices on them. The student 
who bought the latter item would really feel cheated, he said.

Since the store staff is limited, it would be impossible to 
constantly reshelve items as they ran out, he said. "The 
average student thinks he's being ripped off, which is a 
normal reaction. All they see is that they are spending all 
their money."

However, Marilyn Romine, manager of the Chariton Bookstore, said 
that if a book went up in price, she would sell the book at that 
price until they ran out. "Then we'd sell it at the new cover price 
on the next shipment we got in."

Some students think the answer to high bookstore prices would be 
to order books from the local bookstore. Romine said the traditional 
mark-up suggested by the publishers is 20 percent. The Chariton 
Bookstore also buys the average textbook for $8.00 plus freight 
costs. "I would try to sell it for $10 but even that is hardly enough 
to cover expenses," she said. "Businesses get discounts from wholesalers 
on general interest and fiction books, but we buy textbooks from the 
publishers."

The Campus Bookstore is part of the auxiliary budget and is allocated 
some state funds which can not be exceeded if the business is to be 
successful, Baldwin said. It operates on the same principle as the 
residence halls, which are also included in the auxiliary budget.

The bookstore also pays rent to the University, and when all operating 
expenses are paid, "What's left over goes back into the general funds 
of the University and keeps student fees down in the long run," 
Baldwin said.

The bookstore's profits go to a general interest fund and also to 
building repairs. "The bookstore makes five percent profit, altogether," 
Jepson said. "That isn't good for today's high interest rates. Only 1/7 
of the profit comes from books." Profits also have to cover employee 
salaries, advertisements and phone calls. "The bookstore spent $105,531 
for employee salaries," Jepson said. "They aren't paid by the hour. 
Baldwin is also paid a salary. He doesn't work on commission, so he has 
no motivation to mark books higher."

Baldwin said, "We have to make our own way," which becomes even more 
difficult when state funds are being reduced this coming year.

There seems to be no answer for the continuous climbing prices of 
textbooks. Even paperbacks are expensive. "The average paperback has 
jumped a dollar in price over the last year," Romine said. "The freight 
cost is the main reason, and general inflation makes them go up, too."

Students have nowhere to turn to purchase textbooks at a lower price 
because inflation is overtaking everything.

"Right now (the bookstore) is making its own way -- if it wasn't you'd 
probably see the store leased out to a used book company. And if you 
think students have problems now, there would be less concern for the 
student. We do have the students interest in mind," Baldwin said.

Jepson's philosophy about business was based on supply and demand. "It's 
not how much money you make that's important." he said. "It's how much 
material you trade off." ECHO

V.I.P.s--Volunteers interested in politics

"I did it because our generation has to take the reins. Someone has 
to be involved," freshman Dennis Coons said about working for the 
Democratic party.

Coons started going door to door, working in the campaign office, 
passing out leaflets at factories and giving speeches at community 
colleges during the primaries. He was working specifically for the 
election of Representative Steve Gardner. Much of his campaigning 
was done in the vicinity of his hometown, St. Clair.

He also participated in the student debate on Oct. 29. Coons said 
that when the fall term started, he became very involved in politics, 
and showed it by working at the Democratic headquarters.

Coons became involved in politics in 1976 when he campaigned for his 
third cousin, the late Jerry Litton, a U. S. representative. Coons said 
he plans to continue his involvement in politics. "I'll probably be in 
it 'til the day I die."

campus in the fall and went to work for the Republican party. 
"I had studied economics some, and that helped me to decide to 
join the Republican party. I felt that their goals were much 
closer to mine."

Zajac worked for Charles Cannady, candidate for state representative, 
because he came to know him personally. "Even though he lost decisively, 
it was the best learning experience for me. Because of working closely 
with the campaign, I was able to see what makes it work. I also felt that 
if we had had a little more money and time, it would have been closer.

"The main reason I supported Reagan was economics. I don't think liberalism 
in and of itself is a bad thing, but the big spending programs and approaches 
they've taken are on the verge of completely destroying our economy," he said.

Zajac hopes to continue with his political involvement. "Since working on the 
campaign, I've become more interested in politics, especially on the local 
level. "I'd like to be a state representative back home, but that is far into 
the future."

Doug Ferguson, freshman, ran the student campaign for John Anderson, the 
independent candidate for president.

He found a few difficulties along the way. "I had to learn fast because 
time was short. Things did not start to get organized until the last week 
of September. I had waited long enough for someone else to start the 
bandwagon and decided that it was time for action."

Another problem Ferguson encountered was that his group could not use 
University facilities because they did not have a charter. "Vonnie Nichols 
(director of student activities) suggested that we contact one of the 
already established groups on campus. The political science club was kind 
enough to sponsor us," Ferguson said.

Ferguson chose Anderson because "his ideas conformed the most to mine, and 
he seemed to be the most progressive. He told you the way things are." 

Distributing pamphlets and setting up a table in the SUB were just a few 
things that Ferguson did. He also participated in a forum at Centennial Hall 
and was interviewed on KRXL-KIRX.

Ferguson said it is harder for a third party candidate to have a chance at 
winning. "The present laws are beneficial to the two major parties because 
they (the Democrats and Republicans) have been in power for a long time."

Ferguson did not know if Anderson would run again in 1984. "I think if he 
does run, he will have more time and he will be able to get more money. He 
should have done better had the bankers not canceled his loans. Without these, 
he got seven percent of the vote. With it, he might have done quite a bit 
better."

Even though the 1980 elections are over, the political involvement of these 
men continues. ECHO

Shifting landslides

The nation elected Ronald Reagan to be president, but according 
to a survey conducted by James Przybylski's public opinion class, 
University students would have re-elected incumbent Jimmy Carter. 
Results of the survey gave Carter 41 percent, Reagan 28 percent, 
John Anderson 16 percent. Eleven percent were undecided. Of the 
204 students participating in the survey, one out of five, or 20 
percent, reported they were not registered to vote.

The poll, taken on Oct. 31, was given to a systematic sample of 
students who were citizens. The 36 questions in the poll dealt with 
political issues and background information.

Przybylski, assistant professor of political science, said he was 
surprised at Reagan's margin of victory in the election. "Before 
the time of the election, I thought that Carter could pull it out," 
he said. "I view it as a rejection of the Carter administration. 
Despite the fact that a number of liberals went down, they did better 
than Carter did."

Sixty-six percent of the students polled considered themselves to be 
moderate while only 17 percent were conservative and 19 percent were 
liberal. "A lot of people have shifted from being liberal to centrists," 
Przybylski said.

Students who were Missouri residents were also asked for their choices 
in the state elections. In the poll, incumbent Senator Thomas Eagleton 
received 59 percent to Gene McNary's 27 percent. They also chose Christopher 
Bond to win, with 55 percent to Joseph Teasdale's 37 percent. Forty-one 
percent were in favor of Proposition 11 while 33 percent were against and 
11 percent remained undecided. Proposition 11 dealt with disposal sites for 
chemical and radioactive wastes in Missouri.

Students were also asked for their views on the Equal Rights Amendment. Of 
those polled, 40 percent were in favor of the ERA, 36 percent were against 
it and 25 percent were undecided. This is a shift from a 1977 poll which 
showed 60 percent in favor and 40 percent against. "In the past, it has been 
more favorable. The 'favorable' have moved to the 'don't know' but the 
opposition has not increased," Przybylski said.

About the national election, he said, "It was a reverse coattails. The Democrats 
were branded along with Carter." ECHO

Car strikes pedestrian

Janice Saffir, temporary instructor of piano, was struck by a car 
on the morning of Sept. 23. The accident occurred on Patterson Street 
between Ryle and Dobson halls. Saffir was struck by a car driven by 
senior Dana Moore. Moore told police she was having a hard time seeing 
because of the early morning sun, and the crosswalk appeared to be clear.
Saffir was put in the hospital where she was reported in serious condition. 
A survey sponsored by Alice Wiggins, chairperson of the Alternate. Lifestyles 
Committee of the Housing Office, was taken to count the number of cars that 
traveled Patterson Street everyday. After receiving the results, Kirksville 
City Manager John Pelzer submitted a proposal to the city council for a light 
at the crosswalk.

Rely causes TSS

Procter and Gamble's product, Rely tampons, was linked to toxic-shock 
syndrome. According to Time magazine, 28 deaths were caused by TSS in 
women using the tampons. Rely was the only tampon recalled because other 
tampons were not constructed from the same materials, Betty Hooper, an 
information officer at the Center for Disease Control, said. Rely tampons 
were included in the gift package given to women in residence halls at the 
beginning of the fall semester.

City installs stoplight

In a cost-sharing plan, the city of Kirksville and the University installed 
a stoplight over Franklin Street between the Student Union Building and 
Centennial Hall. Because the old stoplight was broken, students had been 
forced to wait to cross the street, or to dodge traffic. Students signed a 
petition circulated by the Residence Hall Association for a new stoplight. 
The petition brought the problem to the attention of the Kirksville City 
Council, which realized the hazard and proposed the plan. As a result, the 
light was installed.

Student arrested

In two reported incidents, freshman Terrell Arnold caused disturbances 
which led to his arrest, and eventual explusion.

His first alleged offense involved bank teller Clarence Cartwright. Police 
said Arnold began wandering around the Commerce Bank after trying to obtain 
a loan. When he was asked to leave, he struck Cartwright, who was later taken 
to Kirksville Osteopathic Health Center.

Arnold's second alleged offense occurred when police were called following 
Arnold's threat to a Quik Trip employee. Arnold allegedly assaulted the 
officer answering the call and was arrested.

Dean of Students Terry Smith served Arnold with a withdrawal slip while 
he was in Adair County Detention Center. Witnesses said Arnold flushed 
the papers down the toilet.

According to Adair County Sheriff Jim Kemp, Arnold was mentally unstable. 
He had been in and out of various hospitals and was regarded by police 
as dangerous.

After Arnold flushed the papers down the toilet, Kemp said, he had to be 
given a shot to calm him down before he could be transported. He was 
released into his parents' custody and hospitalized in St. Louis.

University thefts

The University was the victim of a number of thefts, including 
library thefts, the stealing of food service money and a 
bookstore burglary.

Pickler Memorial Library reported six purse thefts after students 
left their purses unattended for a few minutes while they went to 
look for books. On Dec. 18, $2,500 worth of audio-visual equipment 
was stolen from the music library.

The food service office in Centennial Hall was broken into and $35 
was taken. Some $10 in change was also taken from the Missouri and 
Ryle Hall offices.

The Campus Bookstore burglary marked the peak of the thefts. Russell 
Harrison, director of public services, discovered the break-in and 
reported it to Harry Baldwin, bookstore manager.

Baldwin said watches, rings, cameras, tape recorders and calculators 
were stolen. According to Baldwin, the bookstore had no insurance to 
cover the theft.

New burglar alarms were installed in the bookstore in an effort to 
prevent further burglaries.

Minority student office

Karry Sprague's resignation as a special services counselor seemed 
to signal the end of a minority students' office she wished to form. 
Sprague counseled more than lOO black students and thought the office 
was needed.

She said the administration's lack of action was a factor in her 
resignation.

The proposition was revived when the Association of Black Collegians 
protested discrimination in the Homecoming queen selection.

In November the proposal was made by ABC to the Student Senate. Dean 
of Students Terry Smith worked with the senators to draw up a preliminary 
draft for office operations.

Graduate student dies

Chi-Nung Kuo, graduate student, was killed in a two-car accident on 
Nov. 25. Kuo was making a left-hand turn onto Business 63 from LaHarpe 
Street when his station wagon was struck by a semi-trailer truck.

The Kirksville Police Department said Kuo's vision was impaired by ice 
on the side windows and windshield. No other injuries occurred.

Campus repairs

Repairs on campus included new steps in front of Pickler Memorial 
Library, the relocation of the Flame of Knowledge in front of Kirk
 Memorial, new entrances to Kirk Building and the Student Union 
Building. Brick inlays were delayed by winter weather.

Part of the construction, required by federal law for handicapped 
accessibility, may take up to two years to complete because state 
authorities do not have a clear idea of what must be accessible.

Snow shower -- The worst cold spell and first significant snowfall of 
the year hit in early February, but was followed by balmy spring 
weather.

Rape rumors

Although rumors of rape were circulating around campus, they were 
declared false by Safety and Security.

Skip McGuire, Safety and Security night officer, said reports of 
rape on Central Missouri State University's campus in Warrensburg 
may have been the cause for rumors on this campus.

A rape report was filed with the Johnson County Sheriffs Office in 
September. The report said that the rape was not on campus.

New phone system

In February a new telephone system was installed on campus, scheduled 
to become operational in March, according to Assistant to the 
President Kathy Raynes.

The Dimension 2000 system cost $100,000 to install and program.
It changed four-digit phone numbers to seven digits. Outside 
callers were no longer required to go through the University 
switchboard and the staff was reduced. Students could call collect 
long distance, although they could not dial direct.

Door stop -- A resident protesting bathroom renovations in men's 
halls posts his proposed plan of action. Students were upset 
because workmen began the renovations while people were living 
in the hall.

Waste chute -- A chute leading out of Dobson Hall's restroom carried 
debris out as workmen ripped up the facilities to enlarge them. Missouri 
Hall's restrooms were also renovated.

Dick Tracy -- After the bookstore burglary, criminal justice instructor 
Paul Wohlfeil photographs footprints. Security officer Jim Lykins and 
Deputy Charles Cooper aid in the investigation.

Off-campus survey

The Student Senate distributed an off-campus survey to determine 
whether a program was needed to help students with problems with 
their landlords. Of the 3,180 off-campus students surveyed, more 
than 200 responded.

Sophomore Carl Mueller, chairman of the inquiry committee, said 
their goals were to enforce the housing code, have periodical 
tenant-landlord discussions and provide a published guide to 
off-campus living.

The Student Senate made plans to form a Student Tenant Service 
Program to give students a chance to voice their concerns.

Hall renovations

Because of the new law requiring handicapped facilities in state 
universities, renovations began in Dobson and Missouri hall 
restrooms in February. Residents were angered by cold halls, 
noise and loss of bathrooms, and began throwing trash at the 
workers. Missouri Hall Director Chad Johnson said disciplinary 
action would be taken if another disturbance occurred.

Out of the running
by Tim Grim

The United Soviet Socialist Republic invaded Afghanistan late 
in 1979 and within a week, President Jimmy Carter announced to 
the United States Olympic Committee that the games would be 
postponed or cancelled unless the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan 
"within a month." The announcement upset some members of the 
Olympic team.

Senior Dan Futrell, track runner and Olympic hopeful, however, 
said he was

Pounding the pavement -- Olympic hopeful Dan Futrell, senior, 
still runs to keep in shape for dreams of the 1984 Olympics. 
Although he had to give up his chance for the 1980 Olympics, 
Futrell was not upset because he said his chances for a medal 
did not seem good.
 

(Page 59)

not upset with the President's decision because he was not 
running that hard.

For the absent American athletes, a European tour was developed 
to give them competition during the summer months.

"I could take it or leave it," Futrell said about the tour. "My 
passport didn't come in time for me to go, but I'm not disappointed.

"I was surprised to go as far as I did," Futrell said, "I went out in 
the semifinals of the Olympic trials but took third in the Amateur 
Athletic Union 800 meter and qualified for the team." The USOC intended 
to take the top three from AAU.

Futrell calls himself a retired athlete but is considering a comeback. 
He jogs every day but says if he decides to try for the 1984 Olympics 
he will not start training seriously until 1982. He said the 1980 
Olympics will not affect his consideration of the upcoming games. 
"It depends on if my job will allow the time to train. I have a wife 
now, and a child on the way," he said.

Futrell, who is young enough to have hopes for the 1984 Olympics, 
said, "Track has no professional status and Olympics are the top. 
It was real bad for the athletes that had been training for four 
years. Some were old enough that they won't be back in 1984. It 
was their last chance." ECHO

Uncle Sam's sign-up
by Robyne West 

"It was no biggie. You just go in, grab a card, fill it out, and 
hand it back in," Russell Hirner, freshman, described the procedure 
of registering for the Selective Service.

The Senate approved registration for the Selective Service on June 
12, 1980.

The bill, which requires 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds to register for 
the Selective Service, was met with mixed reactions. After the 
signing of the bill by President Jimmy Carter, anti-draft 
demonstrators were on the scene at some of the larger, metropolitan 
cities of the country, according to headlines of national newspapers.

The new registration law divided sign-ups into two sections. Men who 
were born in 1960 were required to register the week of July 21, and 
those born in 1961 registered the following week. The week of Jan. 5 
was set aside for the men born in 1962.

As of Jan. 1, 1981, all young men are to be required to register on or 
about their 18th birthday. Most men who registered during the summer 
registered at their home post offices. Neil Meyer, sophomore, registered 
at the local post office in Montgomery City, in July. He said it was a 
big decision for him to register. He explained that at first he told his 
parents he would never fight in a war. The more he thought about it, he 
said, the more he felt that if the draft were necessary to preserve the 
freedom America has achieved, then he "was damn proud to do it. I think 
it shows the rest of the world we are prepared to go to war."

Some men found that going with a friend helped cut down on the anxiety 
of the situation. Sophomore Doug Kleese registered at his home post office 
in Kenyon, Minn., with a friend. Kleese admitted that going with a friend 
relieved the tension. "We joked around."

Even though he went by himself, freshman Joel Haag knew there were others 
doing the same thing around the country. "It's all of us or none of us." 
Haag said he thought it was his duty to register. He was doing other 
business at the post office in his home town of Wilton, Iowa, and filled 
out his card. "I was worried at first, and still kinda am," he said, 
"especially with Reagan smartin' off to the Iranians." The incident he 
referred to was a December news report in which president-elect Ronald 
Reagan called the Iranians "barbarians."

There were plenty of others around the country who registered. According 
to the Sept. 5 edition of the New York Times, Selective Service Director 
Bernard D. Rostker said 3,593,187 men had signed up during the last two 
weeks of July. He said 87 percent of those eligible had signed up on time 
and 6 percent registered late. According to the July 27, 1980, issue of 
the Times, 2 percent of those eligible were not expected to register.

Even though 93 percent signed up, some registered with mixed feelings. 
Refusal to register is a felony that carries a maximum penalty of $10,000 
fine and five-year prison term.

Sophomore Jeff Goldammer said he had mixed feelings when he registered. 
He said he did not really agree with the draft. "When I signed up, I was 
worried if we were going to war."

Kleese said he felt obligated to register. He felt it was important to have 
people ready to go to war, but "I don't know if the draft is the right way 
to do it."

Freshman John Block said he felt like the draft was something required 
of him. "I don't like wars. I'm a peacemaker."

Some men signed up even though they would never be able to serve. 
Hirner said he could not be drafted due to medical reasons, but 
he would go if he were drafted. "It's my duty. If it was something 
stupid like Vietnam, I wouldn't go. But I would go over for an 
Iranian or Persian gulf deal." ECHO

Sign of the times -- The week of Jan. 5, sophomore Don Darron fills 
out an information packet to register for the Selective Service.

A LOOK BACK

"The acts of barbarism that were perpetrated on our people by Iran 
can never be condoned. These criminal acts ought to be condemned by 
by all law-abiding, decent people of the world. It has been an 
abominable circumstance that will never be forgotten. " Former 
President Jimmy Carter

On Jan. 20, after 444 days of captivity, the 52 American hostages 
were freed. Reactions changed from joy to anger, as the hostages 
told stories of physical pain and abuse by their captors.

"The human suffering we found was so deep and pervasive that I 
don't have the words to adequately describe it." James Sasser, 
one of three U.S. Senators to visit Cambodia

Millions of Cambodians died of malnutrition and suffered dysentery, 
tuberculosis and malaria. Since Communist forces took over, half of 
all Cambodians have died of starvation.

Allegiance -- Freshmen Laurie Parsons and Patti Ruskey hold the flag 
throughout the thanksgiving celebration held in honor of the former 
hostages.

"I've never seen anything like it. In the 1960s people got hurt 
because they got in the way. But in this riot, people have set 
out to kill white people." Psychologist Marvin Dunn, Florida 
International University

Rioting broke out in Miami after an all-white jury dismissed charges 
against four white policemen charged with fatally beating Arthur McDuffie, 
a black insurance executive. McDuffie was being arrested for speeding. 
In the three days of rioting, 15 people died, 400 were injured and $125 
million worth of property was destroyed.

"It's a nightmare. It's the most baffling case I've ever had anything 
to do with. " A police investigator in Atlanta, Ga.

During a 16-month period in Atlanta, 11 children were murdered and 
four were missing. The children, all age 15 or younger, were black, 
came from poor families and were all male except for two females. 
Mayor Maynard Jackson's request for donations brought together more 
than $151,000 in reward money.

Local radio and television stations sponsored ads in which celebrities
 warned children of dangers.

"I am prepared to offer my blood for the redemption and resurrection 
of El Salvador. If God accepts the sacrifice, I hope it will be a seed 
of liberty and a sign of hope." Archbishop Oscar Romero

A right-wing terriorist group's political violence in El Salvador 
left 9,000 people dead including several American citizens. In April 
1980, Romero and Father Cosme Sperzotto were assassinated while 
celebrating mass. Three American nuns and one worker were also 
murdered. The violence in El Salvador continued as the unstable 
government changed

Say a little prayer -- At the Ryle Hall celebration of the 
hostages' safe return, senior Joan Engelmann reads a passage 
from the book of Psalms.

Sign of the times -- Residents of second south Centennial Hall 
recognized the return of the former hostages by constructing 
a large banner welcoming them home.

"This is not the end of an era. The '80s are still going to be 
a beautiful time, and John believed in it." Yoko Ono, wife of 
slain musician John Lennon

On Dec. 8, Lennon, a former Beatle, was shot and killed outside 
of his apartment in New York City. Mark Chapman, a former mental 
hospital patient, was accused of the murder. The last album Lennon 
recorded with the Beatles was "Abbey Road," which was released 
in October 1969, but he continued writing and recording until 
1975. Returning to music in 1980, Lennon had just finished recording 
his last album, "Double Fantasy." It was a best-seller in record stores 
around the nation after his death.

"We don't want to change the socialist ownership of production, but we 
do want to be the real masters of the factories. We were promised that 
many times. We have now decided to demand it by strikes." Polish 
strike leader Lech Walesa

The Polish workers triumphed with Pope John Paul's signing of the 
document obliging the Communist Party to legalize independent unions 
and the right to strike in Poland. Many feared the threat of the Soviet 
Union sending in troops.

Death of a Star -- Former Beatle John Lennon's death saddened Beatle 
fans. A Centennial Hall cafeteria worker decorated his serving hat 
in honor of Lennon.

"You must all be native American Indians, because all the rest of 
us came later." Carter responding to boos from a Miami audience 
after he publicly thanked the state of Florida for helping Cuban 
refugees.

As 120,000 Cuban refugees poured into the United States they were 
not welcomed with open arms. One group of refugees seized six 
airliners and forced the pilots to fly back to Havana. More than 
half of the refugees remained in Florida.

"The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is the greatest threat to 
peace since the Second World War." Then-President Carter

The winter invasion of Afghanistan remained a secret to the world 
until after its completion. The news sent fear through the world 
and triggered Carter's decision to drop his advocacy of SALT II 
and his announcement that U.S. athletes would not travel to 
Moscow's summer Olympics.

Morning comes early for some and late for others. Either way 
Morning scheduling classes becomes part of a 
morning routine	
by Greg Jenkins

Bzzzz!

The alarm goes off. The half-asleep student arcs his arm in 
preparation for a silencing blow. After hitting everything 
but the clock twice, the student pokes his head out from 
under the pillow. The digital face reads 6:02.

Early classes drag many students out of bed. Tammy Williams, 
freshman, gets up at 6 a.m. on Monday and Wednesday because 
she has a 7:30 class. "The teacher in that class is one that 
I like. I could have taken it later, but the other class was 
already filled up," she said.

Ann Joplin, sophomore, gets up at 7 a.m. and has an 8:30 class 
on Tuesday and Thursday. Joplin said that she prefers having 
classes in the morning so that her afternoons are free for her 
to do whatever she wishes. Would she mind having a class before 
8:30? "I wouldn't mind, as long as it wasn't in the afternoon," 
Joplin said.

Mike Christner, junior, gets up at 7 a.m. on Monday and has an 8:30 
class. "On some days I could (sleep later) but then I would not have 
time for (classes). I have baseball practice on those days," Christner 
said.

As for the other students, getting up later is preferred. For example,
Don Hawkins, sophomore, does not get up until 10 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, 
and Friday. "If it was possible, I could take an earlier class," Hawkins 
said.

Another late riser is Jeff Bernard, junior. On Tuesday and Thursday, 11:10 
a.m. is when he gets up. "I like to sleep, and would not get up earlier 
unless there was an important class that I had to take," said Bernard.

Darell Lane, freshman, sleeps until noon on Wednesday. "I have a class in 
the afternoon, and I prefer to sleep until noon on that day, even if there 
was a morning class that I liked," Lane said.

But this dedicated student pushes aside his desire and need for sleep and 
winces each time the alarm goes off.

Finally silencing the alarm, he rolls out of bed, heads for the bathroom, 
glances at the calendar, and stops. It is Saturday. ECHO

Table for one -- Surrounded by empty tables, Dawn Young, freshman, eats 
breakfast at 7 a.m. in order to be on time for her 7:30 class.

Sun tunnel -- The sky in the east begins to glow as Paul Dubert, 
freshman, walks through the Science Hall walkway on his way to 
a 7:30 class.

The trip over is not the only transition international 
students make. Fitting into American life, they also face 
Going through customs
by Jeanette Lueders

Students from large cities must adjust to Kirksville's smaller 
size. Students from rural areas must adjust to Kirksville's 
increased activity. International students must adjust to 
everything.

Traveling from miles away, international students find getting used 
to Kirksville and the American culture requires some adjustment.

A large adjustment for some was getting used to the weather. "I didn't 
know how to dress," graduate Yik Pin Liang said. "I came from a warm 
climate (Malaysia) where it is 80 degrees all year around."

Freshman Mohammed Hussain from Bangladesh said the temperature does 
not usually go below 60 degrees there. When "I got to Kirksville, I 
had to buy coats and sweaters in preparation for winter." He had 
never seen snow before and was looking forward to it.

Another major adjustment was the food. "We are used to eating hot 
spicy food," Hussain said. Because he is a Moslem, he cannot eat 
pork. A Moslem's meat diet consists mainly of fish and beef.

Freshman Qusi Mahmoud from Jordan is also a Moslem. "I went home 
with my roommate to visit their farm. His mom asked me what my 
religion was. I told her if was Islam. She knew we were not to 
eat pork, so she fixed me a special dish. She said she liked 
people to be religious."

Mahmoud eats pork on occasion Shopping around -- T-shirts attract 
freshman business administration major Mee-Ying Ho as she browses 
in the campus book store. Mee-Ying, originally from Malaysia, 
currently lives in Blanton Hall.

China, reads over her studies in her room in Centennial Hall.

want.

because he is a liberal Moslem. "It is hard not to eat it when 
the dorm has ham and pork a lot," he said.

Most of the students said they did not experience any cultural shock 
because they had come in contact with Americans before. Sophomore 
Ismail Ali said he had lived in Saudi Arabia and worked with Americans.

Mahmoud also had exposure to Americans. He also lived in Eastern Saudi 
Arabia where there are American oil companies, and met some Americans.

Although he had been exposed to Americans, Mahmoud said when he first 
arrived in Kirksville he had trouble with the language. "When I first 
came here I could not even ask for water." He had two years of English 
instruction before coming to the United States, but was taught by a 
British instructor and was not familiar with the American accent. "It 
(the American accent) is very different from the British."

Senior Dariush Eghbali-Bazoft from Iran said, "I knew English, but not 
American English." He had an especially hard problem understanding 
American dialects.

Slang is another language problem international students must adjust 
to. Senior Pat Tan of Malaysia said, "The first year I was here, 
another international student who was a friend of mine came into my 
room one night and said that her American roommate was very funny. 
'She likes to hit everything.' 'What do you mean? I asked her." And 
the friend replied, "'They hit the sack, hit the books, hit the 
pillow . . .'"

Other adjustments were personal. "In our country, we do not take a 
shower naked," Hussain said. It was a real adjustment because he was 
used to wearing some type of covering when bathing.

Mahmoud said when he came to Kirksville he "expected to see Mrs. 
McKinney's office on the 14th floor of a tall building." (Fran 
McKinney is the international student advisor.) He also said when 
he tried to locate Kirksville on the map he could not find it.

Ali also said Kirksville was not as he expected. "It is a pretty 
small town. I thought the population would be in the vicinity of 
40,000." But he said he was not disappointed because he came here 
to study and the University is good.

"One thing I was scared of when I came to Kirksville was prejudice," 
Ali said. "I heard foreigners were not welcome here. I felt a distance 
at first, but not anymore. People are very friendly and cooperative."

Hussain said he had only been bothered once with this when he was in 
the cafeteria. "Someone tried to tell me I was eating pork, but I knew 
I wasn't."

Freshman Eyad Al-Jundi said, "There are no prejudices (here) I have 
felt in other places." He is a member of the Delta Chi fraternity. 
"They (fraternity members) treat me like other Americans. I feel 
like a brother," he said.

Al-Jundi said they kid him about being from the Middle East.

"One active said to me one time, 'Where is your camel?' and I 
answered 'Where is your buffalo?' We joke around all the time."

Although the students are continually adjusting, Al-Jundi said 
it was not so hard because, "It is very friendly here." ECHO

new wave washes over rock
by carla robinson

new wave style - teresa lock, sophomore, marty dmytrack, junior, and 
mickey aoun, sophomore, dressed as new wave musicians.
 

(Page 67)

New wave music is strong on the East Coast now and is moving fast into 
the Midwest. It is giving students an alternative to the traditional music 
tempos they are used to. "New wave is the child of punk rock," senior Tom 
Peponis said. Peponis attended Kent State at the time of the Vietnam conflict. 
At that time punk rock was developing as a form of retaliation against the 
government and its draft policies.

This type of music defies tradition as it has a fast, almost offbeat sound. 
Most new wave songs stick to the same beat. Usually this is in 3/4 time or 
very fast 4/4 time, freshman Rick Peppers, a long-time fan of new wave, said.

Marty Dmytrack, sophomore, said new wave is like disco but has more of an 
upbeat tempo. "It's back to the 60's with an '80s percussion, most agree."

Many have said new wave has a more intense, almost electrified mood to it. 
The constantly upbeat music builds throughout the song, always ending in 
a reaction of some sort from the song.

It's fun, vigorous and very powerful music," Dmytrack said.

"It's pulsating. It makes you tense. It can make you uptight," Dean Locke, 
a sophomore listener of new wave, said. "A student usually would not sit 
down to do homework with new wave music because of the driving beat," Locke 
said. Once, however, he rewrote an English paper while listening to a new 
wave album. He said he had only 30 minutes to rewrite a three-page paper. 
The tempo of the music had him writing faster and faster with nervous energy 
and he completed the paper in just 20 minutes.

Kurt Reslow, junior, is originally from the East Coast where punk rock and 
new wave music began. Reslow said the lyrics are "trying to get people not 
to take themselves so seriously."

Peponis said, "They take a different outlook on life." The group Devo, for 
example, is trying to convey the devolution of man, not so much with the 
lyrics but with the mechanical sound of music.

As with most styles of music, new wave has already diversified. Groups such 
as The Clash deal with political problems, leaning more toward the punk rock 
type of music. Elvis Costello's music is more personal. "It uses plays on words 
and is directed toward people in general," junior Larry Fiore said. Fiore is 
the KNEU disc jockey for the new wave show. He uses the name Kid Cole.

Reslow said the music shows good social values, poking fun at a society that 
is too caught up in itself.

New wave performers are not caught up with appearance or performance. "Attending 
a live performance of a new wave group would leave spectators amazed at the 
likeness between the recording and the actuality," Dmytrack said. Recordings of 
rock groups are touched up in the studio to perfect the sound, he said. When 
someone listens to the group live, they hear mistakes not on the recording. 
There is no way the group can sound the same as their recording. This often 
leaves fans disappointed.

New wave groups do not have this problem. In concert they sound exactly like 
their recordings. This identical sound is due to the fact that the groups "do 
not go to the expense of perfection," Dmytrack said.

Some believe new wave still has negative connotations attached to it from its 
affiliation with punk rock. "People are afraid of it; they think it's punk," 
Fiore said. "The radio industry is afraid to try it."

Locke said, "I defy anyone to listen to it and not find something fun in it."

Fiore stressed that it is necessary to "listen to it before you put it down. 
There are a lot of intelligent lyrics."

It has taken new wave music a long time to reach the charts because of negative 
feelings. Disco bumped punk rock (which soon turned to new wave) from the charts 
during the 1970s when punk was just beginning in the United States. The milder new 
wave music is getting its chance to prove itself in the 1980s as disco is dying out.

"New wave bands are playing because they like to play. It seems when bands get too 
popular, they start seeing dollar signs instead of their music," Reslow said.

I defy anyone to listen to it and not find something fun in it.' dean locke

The trend of new wave has spread quickly and quietly through the Midwest and most 
people do not even recognize that some of the songs they listen to on the top 40 
are in fact new wave music.

Songs such as "Is She Really Going Out With Him" and "Pop Muzik" are examples of 
two songs that can be heard on almost every radio station and are classified as 
new wave, albeit the mild type.

The Cars are a group with several albums out that feature new wave music, Dmytrack 
said. This group plays "clean music; they break it down." Other new wave groups that 
are becoming more popular include Split Enz and The B-52s. Billy Joel is at the top 
of the charts with music that has been called disco but is actually new wave.

"It's probably the best, real up-to-date music you could listen to," Dmytrack said.

"It's a fad and I'm caught up in it," Peponis said.

Perhaps it is just a fad that will pass in time. Perhaps the fans who ardently defend 
their choice of music now will soon lose interest and drift on to something else. 
Perhaps. But even then, if the obeservations of these fans are correct, new wave 
music will continue to be played for the enjoyment of those who play it.

Alpha Phi Omega, C. Sigma Phi Beddy Byes, D. Zeta Beta?

The answer is C., the Sigma Phi Beddy Byes. The Sigma Phi Beddy Byes 
are one of the unchartered clubs on campus which make up their own
names, organize their own membership drives, and plan their activities 
without the sanction of a University charter.

These distinctions include the use of Greek letters. For example, a group of
men in Missouri Hall call themselves the Sigma Phi Beddy Byes. "We were
coming home from pizza one day," said Terry DeJong, sophomore member of the
group. "Mark Ritchart just said, 'Let's call ourselves the Sigma Phi
Beddy Byes.'" And so they did.

Proudly wearing these letters, Ritchart talked about the origin of the
Beddy Byes. "After being rushed by different fraternities, I decided I
wanted a fun alternative that wouldn't take as much time. At first it 
was started as a joke but later became serious because it was so unique.

More signatures -- Sophomore Mary Bourneuf waits while Jim Seaman, senior, signs

letters, carry pledge books and hold rushing activities.

"After we all watched 'Animal House' one night, the idea of a fun fraternal 
brotherhood sounded more and more

appealing."

Some of their social events include Mountain Dew parties, road trips on bicycles 
and Frisbee football. One of the important requirements for membership is the 
mastering of Frisbee spinning. All members must own a Frisbee and potential members 
must have a trim and fit body. They are prejudiced against obese people.

DeJong and Ritchhart founded the club in the fall of 1979, during their freshman year. 
DeJong told potential members, "We're a fun organization with a relatively easy pledge 
season. Also, we don't drink any alcohol around each other because we like to stay 
straight when we're together. That makes us kind of unique."

Russ McLandsborough, sophomore, is the first official pledge of the Beddy-Byes. "I pledged 
because my friends had an organization that was something to play around with and I just 
wanted to have some fun. I guess it's a way of bringing home down here to school with me."

Also located in Missouri Hall, on the fourth floor, are the BIMBOs. Jim Seaman, senior 
and founding father of the organization in 1978, said that in his sophomore year he lived 
in a wing where he was surrounded by fraternity members with stickers on their doors.

He felt left out. "Everyone always called me Jimbo, so I decided to form an organization. 
There was no J in the Greek alphabet, though, so I just put a B in it and came up with 
BIMBOs."

Seaman established and organized the official Beta Iota Mu Beta Omega pledge season, which 
includes carrying a bonafide pledge book, earning merits and demerits, midnight marches, 
quizzes on the Greek alphabet and history, and the mastering certain sorority phone numbers. 
"In addition," Seaman said, "Hell Week shall last for a month and pledges are treated as hogs. 
They may be slapped, ridden, and forced to play in the mud." He said that BIMBO is special 
because "people go their own ways and we don't take ourselves seriously." He tried to make 
the rules "as crazy as I could."

Senior Dan Coffman said, "I pledged because it was the only wholesome release on campus. We 
do nothing rowdy, destructive or against University rules and structures. We do everything a 
chartered organization does with no worries of having a charter revoked"

Although they do not make use of any Greek letters, the group known as the LMLs considers 
themselves a true brotherhood. The Love Muscle Lounge is composed of approximately 11 
members.

Junior Tom Okruch said being an LML means "that someone will always be there to spill my 
guts to, drink a beer with or just to ask for help from." Okruch also said, "Everyone that 
knows us wants to be an LML. For us, humbleness is not a requirement."

Drew Phillips, junior, said, "To become a member of the Love Muscle Lounge you must be a 
sports fan, a partier and a general all-around really keen, swell guy." Okruch added, "It 
is required to be neater than all get out and you must learn to accept criticism 24 hours 
per day, on the average."

Founded two years ago by David Clithero, Rodney Gray and Sonny Wellborn, the group has 
expanded on campus, but as of now they are the first and only LML chapter in the country. 
They have no officers but meet about once a month at the Headquarters. Instead of having 
a house as fraternities do, they have their own lounge with an official LML crest over 
the door.

At Headquarters, as well as at various other places, members are referred to by their 
special club nicknames. These include such endearments as Squawkhead, Kruch-Dog, Spanky, 
Uncle David, Buddah, Bud Man, Caveman Nick and Gorper.

Their main social event of the year is the Christmas Extravaganza at the LML Headquarters. 
Last year they had an informal mixer with Sigma Sigma Sigma.

Although these socials are important to them, there are other things that are taken more 
seriously, such as the Front Row Club. This club is composed of Bulldog fans in LML who 
go to basketball games and sit behind the opposition's bench to harrass them, Brad Douglas, 
junior, said.

Phillips said, "Our behavior is loud, unruly and basically obnoxious." To add even more 
spirit they have their banner, which they proudly display at all sporting events.

Even with all of their LML activities members find time to be in such organizations as 
Missouri Hall Council, Blue Key, the varsity baseball team, Pershing Society, Student 
Senate, RHA, RA duties, other social fraternities, SPP and the newly organized Quad Squad. 
Such a record leaves no doubt that excessive bragging does occur. Phillips said, "We're the 
real thing," and was echoed by Brooks Nickles, senior, who said, "We're the best, We're 
number one!"

Although many people choose to join chartered clubs, some chose another route and decided 
to form their own organizations. Everyone finds their own niche on campus. ECHO

Full house 
Not even standing room only was left when a new policy cut back on 
residence hall renewals

Reservations
by Melanie Mendelson

Although an abundance of students lined up in Kirk Building to renew their 
housing contracts, they found there was not an abundance of rooms.

Definite steps were taken to avoid the 1979 problem of overcrowding, Bob Weith, 
assistant, housing director, said. "There were more students than there were rooms, 
and some decisions had to be made. It was a three-prong approach. First, we looked 
at grade point. Then, we looked at the number of female students as compared to 
males. We also looked at disciplinary records."

Eleven people were turned away because their grade point averages were below 2.0. 
This policy was made because "the University felt that students who constituted a 
2.0 or higher could be helped more than those who were not functioning as well 
academically," Weith said. The University has found that students with GPAs lower 
than a 2.0 drop out at a higher rate than those with a higher GPA.

Weith said they looked at the disciplinary records of the students. "The kind of 
students who were on hall probation are a poorer risk than those who hadn't been 
in trouble. They were suggested not to be given a room. We also looked at what 
point of time the students signed up."

When sign-up time was finished, 988 women and 625 men had renewed their contracts. 
That left room for 812 freshman women and 525 freshman men. Weith said the ratio 
of women to men on campus is 60 percent to 40 percent.

"We let the freshmen fill up the spaces that were available after upperclassmen 
finished renewing their contracts," Darlette Homan, Weith's secretary, said. 
However, there was still a waiting list of 160 students who had not been able 
to sign up.

"We have no way of knowing how many students had to move off campus," Weith said. 
"Those kinds of records aren't kept during sign-up.

"Everybody was given a chance to sign up, but there was no guarantee they'd get 
the rooms," Weith said.

"Of the 160 people on the waiting list, we either accommodated them before the 
summer ended or they decided not to return to campus and found their own 
housing."

Even with careful planning, Centennial Hall and Ryle Hall still had to convert 
double rooms to triple rooms. "We set aside 100 rooms, 50 in Ryle and 50 in 
Centennial to be turned into triples," Weith said. "But we only used 60 of 
them and 40 we did not need."

Turned away

A rise in enrollment and an increased retention rate among juniors and seniors 
resulted in a shortage of on-campus living facilities. Sophomore Lisa Webb was 
one of the students unable to return to on-campus housing this year.

At the end of each academic year, the Housing Office set up dates in which the 
students can sign up for on campus housing. They also set limits on the number 
of students who could renew their housing contracts. Webb said that when she and 
her friends went to sign up during their allotted time, "no one was over there." 
She found out later that day the sign-up to get a room was over. All available 
spaces had been filled.

"I heard that over 200 women didn't get a room, like us (Webb and her friends)," 
Webb said. When she and her friends realized that they probably would not be able 
to get a room in the residence halls, they weighed the alternatives. "Many of us 
considered transferring to another school," she said. "It was also pretty upsetting 
to have to call my parents and have to move off campus."

After a long search for an apartment, Webb said she has found a decent, clean 
apartment in a good
 

(Page 71)

location. "I was lucky enough to get a good outfit."

She said her friends were not so lucky. "My friends live in a pit. They're 
closer to campus, but the place is not worth the rent they are paying," she 
said. "The landlord has a take-it-or-leave-it type of attitude."

Webb thought the Student Senate should sent out letters to all "evicted" students 
informing them and offering help for the off-campus housing search. "They're smart 
enough to push us out, but you'd think they would be smart enough to help us."

Alternate set
by Jim Salter

"I'd rather live in a rat trap apartment than live by the ridiculous rules, eat 
the nauseous food, and put up with the asinine neighbors of the dorms," junior 
Brent Hudson said.

Many students echo Hudson's sentiments on the subject of moving off campus. 
Unfortunately, it is not always easy to find adequate off-campus housing
"We looked in the Kirksville paper, the Index and everything else, and
still couldn't find what we wanted," Hudson said. "Part of our trouble was 
that we had four guys that were going to live together." Another part of his 
trouble was a shortage of apartments.

For Hudson and his roommates, the Kirksville Chamber of Commerce provided the 
answer. "The Chamber of Commerce gave us a list of available apartments," Hudson 
said. "We ran them down until we found one that suited us." The apartment they 
found, located on West Scott Street, was perfect for Hudson, a member of Phi 
Lambda Chi fraternity. "It's just a short stagger from the Phi Lamb house,"
Hudson said.

Other students unable to get rooms in the residence halls were forced to move 
off campus. Several had trouble finding off-campus housing because of the rush 
to find apartments. For Hudson, the move off campus was well worth it.

"If a person wants to move off campus bad enough, he can find a way," Hudson said. 
"But that doesn't mean it is going to be easy." ECHO

Each year a new style catches on and students are 
Wearing it out
by Sondra Spencer 

Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, hospital surgeons and business women all 
helped to influence the fashion trends on campus this year.

Straight-leg and designer jeans, surgical suits and blazers were big 
clothing fads for 1981.

Calvin Klein, Jordache, Gloria Vanderbilt and Chic were among the biggest names 
in designer and straight-leg jeans. The names, sewn to the back pockets of the 
jeans, became symbols of status and, to some, envy.

Designer jeans are nice, sophomore Gretchen Rice said, "But they're so expensive. 
All you're really buying is the name. Who wants to spend that much money for a 
name?"

It is a lot of money for a name. Designer jeans range in price from $32 to $75, 
Herb Sieren, owner of Sieren's Palace, said.

"Some people are willing to pay the price. Others aren't. If you're lucky, you'll 
find them on sale somewhere."

Sophomore Deb Woodson was one of the lucky ones. She bought her Calvin Kleins when 
they were half price. "I bought these because they fit, and they were on sale.
I'll buy anything that's half price."

"...I realized that Brooke Shields is gorgeous in anything

Among the people willing to pay the price for designer jeans is one sophomore. She 
said she paid the high price for the designer jeans because, "I kept seeing the ads 
for Calvin Klein jeans that Brooke Shields does for TV and magazines. I kept hoping 
that if she could look that great in them, so could I. Well, I bought a pair. Then I 
realized that Brook Shields is gorgeous in anything."

Not everyone who owns a pair of designer jeans wears them or likes them. Cindy Titus, 
junior, said, "I have a pair of Calvin Kleins and I don't like the way they fit. They 
aren't worth the money."

Senior Susan Vornkahl said, "I don't agree. I like the way they fit because they fit 
better than regular Levi-type jeans. They're a status symbol and more feminine than 
regular jeans and they're comfortable." Designer jeans are kind of like saying when 
you care enough to buy the very best, you buy them and the price is insignificant, 
she said.

Comfort is one reason why surgical green scrub suits have also found their way to campus, 
sometimes by illegal means. Students found wearing one of the years's hottest fads say they
simply stole the suit from hospital shelves, had a friend who worked at the hospital get 
them for them or, in the case of a few students, bought the suits by legitimate means.

One student, who asked not to be identified, said, "I was visiting a friend in Grim-
Smith (Hospital), and on my way out I passed the supply room. The door was open, nobody 
was around, and there were rows and rows of surgical suits on the shelves. I figured they 
would never miss one, so I took a suit."

Rick Cox, junior, acquired his surgical suit in an honest way. He said his parents purchased 
an outfit for him as a Christmas present from a uniform outlet store in Urbandale, Iowa.

No one seems to know why the suits have become such a popular fashion trend, although the

price tags on a pair of men's designer jeans.

unidentified student said she thought the trend might have stemmed from 
television. "They look so comfortable in shows like 'All My Children' when 
Cliff Warner wears them or on 'Trapper John, M.D.' when Gonzo Gates wears 
them."

However the trend started, hospital staff members are not happy. Verneta Daniels, 
linen room manager for Grim-Smith, said, "Five or six dozen suits came up missing 
last year. We never really discovered where they went."

No matter how students obtain the suits, they wear them to a variety of places. Cox 
said he wears the suit mainly as pajamas, but "sometimes I wear it to class if I'm 
lazy."

Junior Rob Schultz said, "I'm notorious for wearing it to the roller rink."

The unidentified student said she usually wears her suit "to bum around in, but 
I've been known to wear it to class or even on dates."

Students all agree that they continue to wear the suits because they are so easy 
to take care of, and they are so comfortable.

Topping off the fashion trend were blazers. There was a noticeable increase in sales 
last year and this year, Sieren said.

Blazers, made in popular materials like linen, seersucker or corduroy, usually range 
in price from $48 to $100, Sieren said. The majority of those purchasing the blazers 
seem to be women concerned with their business appearance.

"I bought my blazers partly because I'm a business major, and I'll need the blazers 
to wear to work after I graduate. They're very professional-looking and give a 
business-like appearance," junior Cheryl Hash said.

Another major reason for buying the blazers is that "they dress up and coordinate 
an outfit," Rice said.

Blazers are also very practical, Vernkohl said. "In winter they help keep you warmer, 
and in spring they're all you need as a coat. They look really sharp."

The year has marked the time for some very different fashion trends. Clothes styles 
change from year to year; 1981 has seen an assortment of them. Next year promises to 
bring new fads and new trends in clothing as well. ECHO

Quantity vs. quality
Preparing food for hundreds of people requires a lot of time and materials 
by Melanie Mendelson

"It's common conversation to complain about the food, like talking about the weather," 
Pete Kalan, junior, said. He has worked in residence hall cafeterias for four years at 
various positions.

In October, it was rumored that several students saw meat boxes stacked outside Missouri 
Hall cafeteria which read "Grade D, but edible."

Bruce Harper, manager of American Food Management, said, "Letter grades are not put on meat. 
All meat has to have the United States seal of approval before it can be sent anywhere. The 
meat we get has the United States Department of Agriculture sticker on it which means it's 
wholesome and fit for human consumption." Harper said there are several grades for meat; 
the top choices are prime, choice and good.

"The University gets the step between choice and good, depending on the time of the year. 
Sometimes we get choice." The best time of year to buy meat is around Christmas, Harper 
said.

The boxes of hamburger the University receives have a label telling the ingredients. Ground 
beef hearts and soy protein go into the hamburger. "They (the meat companies) add the 
additives and sell it cheaper," Harper said. "We don't wait for a meat truck to turn over 
and then buy it for five cents a pound," he said.

Kalan said, "We get hot dogs and some lunch meat that is made out of turkey because turkey 
is the cheapest meat you can buy. But it tastes the same, so nobody ever really notices."

Vegetables, fruit and dairy products are familiar name brands. For example, AFM uses Kraft 
cheese and salad dressings. "The salad dressings are low calorie, which might give it a 
different taste," Kalan said.

"All dairy products are Grade A." Cafeterias get Frosty Acres margarine and Nugget and 
Continental vegetables. "I think the companies send us the same products they put on the 
shelves (in grocery stores)," Kalan said.

"Most of the food is made from scratch," he said. "For Salisbury steak, we mix hamburger 
meat, beef base (for flavor), eggs and celery." Beef base and chicken base are used for 
gravy, "just like you get at home with flour and water," Kalan said.

The cafeterias make their own dressing from dried bread, chicken base, celery and water 
and serve it under fully cooked processed chicken.

Employees work with two major handicaps, Kalan said -- time and budget.

Harper said, "We get $2.34 per day per student or $16 a week."

Last year's raise in housing costs did not all go to AFM. "AFM received some to give 
employee raises because minimum wage raised, and some to cover food and utility costs. 
We need to reach a balance between price versus what is served."

Dishwasher -- Mike Koritz, sophomore, cleans the vats used to mix food in Missouri Hall 
cafeteria. These vats, as well as huge mixers, are needed to handle ingredients in the 
quantities required.
 

(Page 75)

AFM plans menus eight weeks in advance. "Three location managers and 
I plan the menus," Harper said. "We look at past menus for color, texture 
and student acceptance. And we look at it from a price standpoint. On the 
nights we serve roast beef or ham, you can bet we'll serve a cheaper product 
to offset it."

Time hampers the cooks because there is so little time between breakfast, 
lunch and dinner, Kalan said. Some of the equipment is old and does not show 
adequate temperatures. "We don't use the grills to fry meat because that's not 
what they're designed for," he said. "So we bake the hamburgers.

They cook from the top down in 10-15 minutes." A 55-gallon kettle is used for 
boiled foods such as hot dogs and raw vegetables. The food is then placed in a 
food warmer next to the serving line, which keeps it hot until it is ready to 
be put out on the line.

"All the food should be hot when it is served," Harper said. "But students make 
a detour to get drinks, salads, fix their sandwiches or to say 'hi' to this or 
that friend, and their food is bound to be cooled off a little by the time they 
sit down to eat it."

Kalan said, "Everything on the line looks decent and tastes decent or we don't 
put it out." The cafeteria staff cooks huge quantities of food on a low budget, 
he said. "I don't care how good a cook you are, it's hard to season 55 gallons 
of food to perfection."

Although the same food is cooked in each residence hall cafeteria, tastes vary 
from hall to hall. "Different cooks have different tastes and have learned 
different ways to cook," Kalan said. "Missouri Hall serves the most food out 
of all the dorms because we feed the athletes. Ryle Hall has 300 more contracts 
than Missouri, but Missouri cooks more food. Athletes eat an incredible amount."

Kalan said leftovers are kept two days at the most. They are kept in a cooler, 
off the ground and wrapped in cellophane. Some leftovers are reheated but what is 
not eaten is thrown out. "Leftover hamburger might be ground into casserole or 
meatloaf," he said.

With such a large amount of food to prepare, the cooks must work at a fast pace. 
For this reason, some of the food may not cook all the way through or cook properly.

Residence hall food committees were formed to get student reactions or complaints 
about the food and report them back to AFM. The committees meet with Terry Smith, 
dean of students, and Ron Gabor, director of housing. They act as middlemen between 
AFM and the students.

Freshman Lynn Preisack, secretary of the Missouri Hall food committee, said they 
meet once a week. "Members have papers on their doors for residents to write their 
complaints on. They have to write which meal it was and the date," she said.

"If it is something that can be changed, we'll take it to AFM and see what can be 
done. A lot of students were complaining about having no scoops in the cereal. We 
told AFM about it and got the scoops," Preisack said.

Most of the complaints were too general. "There's nothing we can do then, because 
we have to have specifics," she said.

Freshman Dawn Bratcher, member of Ryle Hall food committee, said the main complaints 
they received were about the repetitiveness of meals. "For about a week, we were 
getting nothing but fish, fish, fish, for lunch and supper, three days in a row."

A misunderstanding between the University and AFM occurred when the menu was being 
planned. The committee approached the problem and it was remedied.

Other complaints they received were broken ice machines, cold food, menu changes 
and too much starch. "People were sick of eating noodles and potatoes," Bratcher 
said.

"Other schools like Drake or Mizzou only get one meal choice and Drake pays $4.00 
where we only pay $2.34. We've got some of the best food service in the area," she 
said.

Bratcher also said they tried to get rid of such rumors as Grade D meat and food 
poisoning. "One girl claimed she got food poisoning from eating spoiled cottage 
cheese. There's no way it can happen because when cottage cheese spoils, you can't 
even get near it." She said the food has improved a great deal since the beginning 
of the school year. "They used to put that gross pineapple sauce on the ham and 
nobody liked it. So we brought that up and they stopped putting it on."

The committee also brought up complaints about the meatloaf. "It looked really bad, 
with these little green things in it," Bratcher said.

"I think it's gotten better since we said something about it." Freshman Kay Sikes, 
chairman of Centennial Hall food committee, said they meet with the cafeteria manager, 
assistant manager and the cook. "They give us reasons why the food is so crummy," she 
said. "Like, the hamburger was bad because they weren't satisfied with the kind they 
were getting from the company. So they were switching around to find which was best. 
I think they found what they want now." Sykes said the University receives choice cuts 
of meat and poultry. "We might get chicken with a wing or a leg that's broken but it's 
still good," she said.

Although food committees cannot make a bigger budget for AFM to work with, or 
stretch time for the cooks, they can report student complaints and try to have 
action taken. Meanwhile, students continue to talk about the food and complain 
that it is not worth the money.

Harper said it is common for people to complain about institution food, at 
schools and hospitals alike. "If it isn't your wife's or your mother's 
cooking, it isn't worth swat." ECHO

The inside dope
about marijuana
by Sherry McGovern

The use of marijuana, a drug that is usually smoked to produce a feeling of 
euphoria, is illegal in Missouri. Its popularity and availability, however, 
are not hindered by this fact, at least not at this University.

Marijuana is usually available on campus, and many students are aware of it. 
One 21-year-old male, a senior, says he does not smoke the drug but has heard 
others talking about it openly on the way to classes. "It amazes me that they'd 
be so flagrant about using it," he said. Although others may smoke pot out of 
curiosity, the senior says he has never wanted to. "I don't see any need to," 
he says.

Other students, however, are not of that conviction. Another senior male, also 
21, says he used to smoke grass three to four times a week. He has cut back on 
his use of the drug, but says he still smokes "every once in a while, about once 
a month." The man claims he smoked so frequently because the people

more popular.
 

(Page 77)

he lived with were constantly smoking. "I never really bought it; I just 
kind of mooched." He estimated that an ounce of grass costs between $40 and 
$50. "That's another reason why I quit smoking so much -- I'm broke."

Purchasing the drug is not easy, he says. However, he does know of "any number 
of friends who should have it on hand." The senior is aware of the laws prohibiting 
the possession and sale of marijuana but says he has never thought about getting 
caught. "I would never sell or anything like that, and I've never had that much 
on me."

According to the "1978 Revised possession of marijuana in quantities of less than 
35 grams constitutes punishment by confinement in the county jail for a term of 
not more than one year, a fine of not more than $1,000 or both, in cases of a 
first offense.

A second offense is punishable by a jail term of not more than five years in a 
state institution, one year in a county jail or by a fine of not more than 
$1,000.

Confinement and fines may be awarded together, the statute reads. This penalty 
also applies to a first offense when the person is in possession of more than 
35 grams.

Kirksville Police Chief Wayne Martin says undercover agents work full time to 
monitor the traffic of marijuana and drugs in Kirksville. Since the "Operation 
Dawn" drug raid which occurred May 5, 1978, Martin says marijuana is not nearly 
as noticeable and is much harder to purchase than before the raid.

During "Operation Dawn," 33 persons were arrested for possession and sale of 
marijuana, small amounts of LSD and cocaine, and some barbituarates and 
amphetamines. Of the 33 arrested, some of them University students at the 
time, Martin says 90 percent received probation.

Although marijuana is available on compus, Martin says it is not isolated to 
the University. "As many people here in the community and locally are buying 
and selling as in the college." Martin says he is aware that marijuana is 
available in Kirksville. However, dealers are being very careful who they 
sell to because of the penalties involved. "The individual would have to 
know you well before they'd sell to you," Martin says. One junior male sells 
only to people he knows. "I never sell to strangers because the busts that 
have been happening, you can figure out that they're narcs." The student 
constantly worries about being caught selling, explaining that is the reason 
he keeps his business on a small scale.

He says he sells marijuana "mostly for money and the free drugs I get from it." 
Usually, he makes about 25 percent in profit. He deals with about a quarter to 
a half of a pound at a time.

One 20-year-old male student says as long as he is not selling or buying marijuana, 
he does not fear being caught with it. "The laws aren't that bad for possession of 
it." He prefers smoking marijuana to drinking alcohol for a number of reasons.

"Marijuana is not as bad for your body in the respect that it doesn't give you a 
beer gut, it doesn't get you sick if you have too much of it and it doesn't give 
you temporary impotence at the end of the night; in fact, it does the reverse," 
he says.

Some bad aspects of it, besides its being illegal, are the "munchies" he gets and 
the bad taste it leaves in his mouth. The bad aspects are not enough to keep him 
from smoking the drug, he says.

Generally, students, favor looser controls on marijuana which would make possession 
a misdemeanor rather than a felony, according to results obtained from a scientifically 
conducted poll made by students in James Przybylski's public a opinion class. Sixty 
percent favor a lesser penalty.

Although they favor less strict controls, only 10 percent of the 240 respondants in 
the survey feel the use of marijuana is never wrong, while 43 percent think smoking 
marijuana is only sometimes wrong.

One woman, a senior, feels smoking grass "is not all that great." She has never been 
in possession of any amount of it, but smoked it once at a friend's home. "I'd rather 
get drunk, I think, than smoke grass. I can't stand the way it smells, and taste it 
leaves in your mouth is horrible," she says.

Even though the substance is illegal, one senior male describes why he feels students 
smoke marijuana as readily as they do by saying, "It's an escape, I guess. It makes 
you forget about what's ailing you." ECHO

Water fall...
by Ron Pierceall

In the summer of 1980, rumors flew in Kirksville that a dead horse was in 
the water supply. Then there were rumors of fungus growing in it.

One of the concerns regarding the water was a report that some chemicals used 
in the city water plant contain cancer-causing agents. Don Sisson, waterworks 
supervisor with the Department of Natural Resources, said this point is still 
arguable. Studies have indicated that chlorine mixed with surface water can 
react to create a form of chloroform called trihalomethane, which is a known 
cancer-causing agent, he said.

The argument here is just how much chlorine must be mixed with surface 
water to form

Settling the matter -- After a water sample is taken from the plant outside it 
is divided into three graduated cylinders so quality tests can be performed.

...prospective mall
by Todd Eschmann

A man comes to town and says he wants to bolster the economy and improve commerce 
by bringing in millions of dollars in additional annual revenues. Of course, he is 
received warmly by the community.

Hardly.

Colin J. Powter, a successful shopping mall developer and president of CP and 
Associates, developers from Dallas, had been investigating the possibility of 
building a major enclosed shopping mall here.

In 1979, Powter optioned a 40-acre tract of land at the south junction of highways 
63 and 6 from the Kirksville Country Club for $800,000.

The only problem was that the land in question was zoned residential. Building a 
shopping mall on the site would require a re-zoning ordinance by the city. Re-zoning 
in Kirksville has often proved controversial, and this request was not an exception.

A group of downtown businessmen organized an attempt to head off the developer's efforts 
at a Kirksville Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing Nov. 12.

The downtown merchants had recently started an extensive downtown revitalization and 
improvement project with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in order 
to make downtown more attractive to consumers. The last thing the merchants wanted was 
someone to take the shopping dollars away from downtown.

Powter carefully outlined his proposals at the public hearing. He said that the mall, 
scheduled to open in early 1983, would have 50 stores including three department stores, 
a jewelry store, clothing and shoe stores, specialty stores, eating establishments, and 
possibly a multi-cinema movie theater.

He said the 300,000 square-foot structure would have 1,966 parking spaces and several 
businesses on the fringe area of the mall, including a family restaurant and a bank.

Powter said he guaranteed the mall would be "an attractive and exciting addition to 
Kirksville," mentioning custom landscaping and quality materials and construction.

He said Kirksville was losing millions of dollars annually to cities like Columbia, 
Quincy, Ill., and Ottumwa, Iowa, because those cities attract mall shoppers with 
attractive and modern facilities. He also said the city would profit heavily from the 
increased property and sales tax revenues the mall would generate.

The merchants hired local attorney Tom Oswald to speak on their behalf. The two men 
argued before the Commission for nearly three hours, with citizens quizzing the 
developer and the attorney throughout the evening.

Charles Krueger, vice chairman of the Commission, moved to postpone the hearing 
until Dec. 3 to allow each group to gather more information.

The atmosphere was noticeably different at the continuation of the hearing. The tide 
had turned on the downtown merchants as a local group, called "Shopping Mall -- Yes," 
had organized on the day after the first part of the hearing, and in three weeks received 
more than 2,000 letters and petition signatures in support of the mall. The letters and 
other materials, from 32 area towns, were presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission 
in large knapsacks.

The re-zoning ordinance passed on Dec. 3 with one dissenting vote from City Councilwoman 
Elizabeth Laughlin. Throngs of supporters rose to their feet, cheering in triumph, after 
the vote.

Final approval of the re-zoning request was given by the Kirksville City Council the 
following week, with Laughlin opposing the ordinance once again.

The mall's impact on the community remains to be seen, but some uninformed golfer may soon 
be surprised to see a shoe store on his favorite fairway. ECHO

trihalomethane.

Chlorine is used widely throughout the state of Missouri to disinfect water 
in city water facilities, and is about the only chemical that can adequately 
disinfect water. Sisson said chlorine must be used in a sufficient amount to 
run throughout the city water pipeline to prevent diseases that can be spread 
through water. He said that while trihalomethane is carcinogenic, studies are 
not reliable enough to conclude that this certain amount of surface water mixture 
does form trihalomethane.

Steve Decker, regional administrator with the Department of Natural Resources, 
has been working with the city of Kirksville giving recommendations about 
solutions to the problem water.

In late fall of 1978, the city and campus began experiencing taste and odor problems. 
The Kirksville City Council contracted a study of the problem. The study revealed that 
a bacteria growth rare for Missouri, called actimomycetes, was responsible for the taste 
and odor problems.

Decker said the organism is common for the southern states, but rare for Missouri. "It 
is more common in rivers than it is in lakes and as far as I know, it is the first 
extended problem in Missouri."

In the spring of 1981 a Water Task Force of 11 members was formed. Five of the members 
were science instructors at the University. Donald Kangas, associate professor of 
zoology, said the group's goals were to determine where the organism grows and to 
detect it in the filtering stages. "We are now in the process of collecting data 
concerning the problem." he said.

Kangas said when the problem first started, people might have thought the lake was 
turning over. "It usually happens in the fall when the lake brings nutrients up from 
the bottom."

The group is working through the process of elimination. "Men are making up a list of 
possible causes and going through it, eliminating some and following up on others. We 
haven't yet isolated exactly where the problem is."

Kangas said at first the problem looked simple, but upon further studies discovered 
that it was a complex problem. "We aren't sure yet how we're going to solve the 
problem. First we need to find the organism. Then we have to measure how many 
chemicals it produces.

"The study done on cancer was crude because they (the organisms) need to be put in 
cold environments and tested very quickly. This wasn't done, so possibly the results 
were too high," he said.

Despite numerous attempts to solve the water problem the situation still persists. 
The city has been updating and cleaning equipment at the Kirksville filtration plant 
in an effort to help eliminate the water problem.

City Manager John Pelzer said that despite the city's efforts, the changes have "had 
no noticeable effect on our situation, unfortunately." Pelzer said the city will 
continue to look for new ways to address the problem. ECHO

Graduating -- The sample taken from the tank outside is poured into graduated 
cylinders where the water is allowed to settle before testing.

A taste of country
by Pat Guile

How much are your green peppers?"
"Five for $1," came the reply.
"Got any green beans left?"
"Nope, sold them already."
"Okay, I'll take five of your peppers . . . sure wish there were some 
green beans left."

This is a typical conversation early each Saturday morning during the harvest 
season at the Farmers' Market, located in the parking lot behind the Kirksville 
Courthouse.

By 7 a.m., the early risers are already working. Four pick-up trucks and a couple 
of cars open up their trunks and unlatch the backs of their trucks to display a 
wide variety of fresh produce from farms and gardens in the surrounding communities.

Some owners place handmade posters listing their prices on their vehicles while 
others are able to keep prices straight in their heads. Small children help out 
by sorting out the money in the change boxes.

Once the goods are uncrated and arranged in proper order, the owners hop up on 
the beds of their pickups, or find a comfortable place on the bumper of their 
cars, and begin the Saturday ritual of selling.

It was only last year that the Farmers' Market began, Orrie Snook, member of 
the Kiwanis Club, said. Before the Farmers' Market was operating farmers did 
not have a place to sell their produce except from their homes, Snook said. 
Dick Keith and Charles Morse, members of the Kiwanis Club, came up with the 
idea. Snook said the Kiwanis Club worked with the city of Kirksville to get 
a specific place set up for the market.

Only two years old, the Farmers' Market is growing in popularity in this area. 
"I know of people who have planted gardens just to sell their produce here," 
Keith said.

The market is a chance for people from the community to buy and sell, and talk 
to neighbors and vendors.

Mrs. Burdette Holroyd of Kirksville came to the market with her husband all summer 
to sell produce. "Although a great many townspeople came, I would only say that 20 
percent of the buyers are students. This place hasn't gotten around to the students' 
attention yet, but given time, it will," Holroyd said.

Filling up a sack with okra (50 cents a pound) out of Holroyd's car is Ade Adeniji, 
graduate student. Adeniji has been taking advantage of the fresh produce since the 
market began last summer. "It really helps on the grocery bill. As an economics student 
I know that this is a good buy; I apply my economics. There is no need to bargain 
down a price," he said. "It's too cheap, and you know they won't cheat you."

Lela Hill, senior, agrees that prices are less expensive at the market. Tomatoes 
are 40 cents a pound; sometimes a grocery store will sell tomatoes at 80 cents a 
pound, she said. Also, tomatoes bought at a store are not ripe because they have 
to be picked when they are still green, she said.

Watermelons are also a pretty good buy. A person can pick up a small melon for 
$1, Hill said.

Some students think a few items are overpriced, such as 25 cents for a small 
cucumber, Amy Skilling, sophomore, said. Still, home-baked goods, which the 
Pennsylvania Dutch bring in large quantities to the market, are the best buys, 
she said.

Several people wait for the black painted station wagon, driven by a small 
Pennsylvania Dutch family,

Better than Mom's -- A faithful following waits as a Pennsylvania Dutch woman 
and her husband unload their baked goods. She usually sold out within two 
hours of their arrival.
 

(Page 81)

whose lifestyle is similiar to that of the Mennonites and Amish. Their 
baked goods (fresh breads, cookies, rolls and pies) are quickly bought by 
a group of faithful customers.

The only cost to the people selling their goods at the market is a $1 fee 
at the entrance of the parking lot. This money helps pay the cost for 
advertising the event, Keith said. "We foot the rest of the bill if we 
don't collect enough."

As with most vendors, Mrs. Lloyd Jackson and her husband of Bethel enjoy 
seeing their peaches sell (their last trip to the market they sold out 
in one hour). She also enjoys the atmosphere. "Everything sells good here.

This is our third trip this summer and we always sell out. My husband and 
I really like meeting strangers."

By 9:30 a.m., the sun begins to beat down on the parking lot while people 
are still moving from truck to truck, buying a few of everything.

Garden-fresh vegetables and fruit disappear quickly as the morning passes. 
Some vendors even pick their produce the morning they come to market. As 
Hill explained, "It's really handy; the farm comes to you." ECHO

If the price is right -- Ade Adeniji examines apples from the back of a farmer's 
truck. He and his young daughter were regular customers at the Farmers' Market.

A heavy decision -- Weighing a cantaloupe in each hand, Mike Farrell discusses 
prices with a g fruit salesman. Farrell and his two brothers often attended 
the market.

degree of the age
by Melanie Mendelson

Why would a woman with three children and three grandchildren want to return 
to school for a teaching degree in history? Why would a man with a bachelor's 
degree in graphic arts and industrial education want to take extra courses? And 
why would a Navy veteran of 22 years come back to college for a master's degree 
in industrial vocational technology?

Charles Baldwin, owner of Baldwins Biz Mart in Kirksville, received a bachelor's 
degree in industrial education and graphic arts 15 years ago. Although he is not 
pursuing another degree, he takes classes of special interest to him. "I took a 
class in first aid about three years ago," he said. "I'm now taking night classes 
in computer science and other refresher courses in this area."

Chris Page was in the Navy for 22 years and for the past 5 1/2 years has been a 
Navy recruiter in Kirksville. He is currently working for a master's degree in 
industrial vocational technology. The state has certified him in vocational 
technology as a substitute teacher because he received his two-year teaching 
degree in Navy schools for experience in electronics.

He attends school under the GI Bill and went to the second summer session. His 
course load includes 12 hours of freshman level courses and interest levels.

"I probably appreciate it even more because of my age. Right now I'm taking 
classes to get my master's, but I'm also waiting for an opening as a full-time 
electronics teacher in the area," Page said.

Lois Thorson, senior, originally from Trenton, rents a small apartment in Kirksville 
five days a week to attend classes. She goes home to her retired husband on weekends. 
After her three children had left home she decided to go back to school and started at 
Trenton Junior College where she received a junior college scholarship.

"I didn't do very well in high school," Thorson said, "so after my children were gone, 
I decided it would be a challenge to see if I could do it. I'm a senior now and will 
graduate in May with a B.S.E, in history." ECHO

Waste not, want not
by Scott Collins

MAHW, FATE and SOS might look like the beginnings of a car's license plate, 
but do not be fooled. MAHW is "Missourians Against Hazardous Waste," based 
in Macon. FATE is the local Kirksville group organized to fight hazardous 
waste, a committee called "For A Tranquil Environment." SOS is "Save Our 
State."

James Shaddy, associate professor of ecology, a FATE founder, became involved 
in the fight against hazardous waste in January 1979 when a local individual 
applied for a permit to operate a hazardous waste landfill north of Kirksville. 
Shaddy said that is when most of the local interest about hazardous waste 
started. "No one at that time knew much about hazardous waste. We had seen the 
tip of the iceberg in Love Canal," he said. (Love Canal is an area near Niagara 
Falls where residents had medical problems due to hazardous waste deposits.)

Shaddy said at that time the Department of Natural Resources, which issues the 
permits, was not required to hold open meetings and so the proceedings of issuing 
the permit were going on without public notice. Shaddy said the main thing the 
citizens' group accomplished was to bring the issue to public notice.

The DNR conducted a public hearing in February 1979 and about 400-600 people 
attended. Shaddy said there was overwhelming disapproval of the landfill, and 
the person who had applied for the permit withdrew the request.

He said the hazardous waste issue died down until March or April 1980 when it 
was noticed there had been a transferal of the property recorded on land deeds. 
The company that bought the land was Browning-Ferris Industries, the largest 
disposer of hazardous waste in the United States. BFI planned to construct a 
landfill on the property.

After trying several approaches to fight the landfill, Shaddy said the board of 
directors for FATE discovered the city of Kirksville was considering building a 
watershed on some of the land BFI wanted to use for a landfill. The city and 
FATE worked together to get the passage of a bond issue for $6 million to build 
the lake. The city would get additional water, and because of possible contamination 
by a landfill, FATE would be able to keep BFI from putting the landfill in.

"At this point in time we have won the battle locally," Shaddy said. Many areas are 
still fighting to keep hazardous waste out. In 1976, Congress passed the Resource 
and Recovery Act to deal with hazardous waste. Under the provisions of the law, 
which went into effect Nov. 19, 1980, the Environmental Protection Agency of the 
federal government controls hazardous waste rules. Each state has been authorized 
to pass and operate its own laws as long as those laws are equal to or stronger 
than laws passed by the federal government. When a state passes a law, it goes to 
the EPA for final approval.

The Missouri legislature passed a state law during a special session called by Gov. 
Joseph Teasdale. The EPA turned down the Missouri request because of holes in the 
wording of the bill which left several questions unanswered.

Shaddy said the state is currently in agreement with the EPA.

Maria Evans, senior biology major from Macon, said everything has ground to a halt 
because both sides are "waiting for the next blow." Evans worked with the MAHW group, 
organized to keep a landfill out of Macon County. While FATE has won its battle, MAHW 
is still fighting. She said there has been talk about the two groups merging to give 
both greater strength.

Evans said she became involved after she and four of the high school science teachers 
in Macon went to a public meeting at the Cox Community Hall just south of Macon. She 
said the concerned citizens needed help with the scientific aspects of the problem, so 
she and the science teachers offered their help.

"We are not the voice of NMSU speaking from pillars above," Evans said. "You can't go 
marching in with a pitchfork and demanding things of the governor. These people were 
wise in asking for help (from scientists)." She said she contacted Shaddy and Jack Magruder, 
professor of science, to help the Macon group.

Shaddy agreed the efforts of himself and others from the University were instrumental in 
keeping hazardous waste out of Kirksville. He said his biggest fear now is disposal 
companies will start looking for smaller communities that do not have the help of college 
professors and push the landfills in without any trouble. Shaddy said he is sure industry 
will be successful in locating hazardous waste landfills in Missouri.

Shaddy, Evans, Magruder and the Macon science teachers all helped the citizens' groups 
because, Evans said,"People have to turn somewhere." ECHO

have class...

Like mother, like son--Maureen Bain and her 4-year-old son Jered get ready 
to leave at the end of Bain's 12:30 class. Jered often accompanies his mother, 
to the delight of the classmates and the instructor, Dona Truitt.
 

(Page 87)

At 8:10 every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, junior Maureen Bain 
drops off her 4-year-old son, Jered, at nursery school. She reaches campus 
at 8:20, finds a parking place and is in class by 8:30. At 11:20 she leaves 
campus to pick up Jered at 11:30. Together they eat lunch and both head for 
a 12:30 class. At 5 p.m. they return to Moberly.

Commuting leaves little time for researching in the library, browsing at the 
Student Union bookstore or meeting other students, Bain said. It also detracts 
from her social life.

An elementary education major, Bain sometimes drives two and a half hours three 
times a week. She works part time Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and finds time 
to take care of her two children.

She has been working on her degree for 11 years and is determined to finish. "The 
older you get, the more you appreciate it," she said. "Kids don't realize how good 
they've got it, living in the dorm with Mom and Dad paying for it."

Junior Roger Henry of Macon is another commuter. Despite an hour-and-a-half trip to 
attend classes each day he is still able to work part time with the ambulance service. 
He does not like driving but says he has a greater sense of freedom than if he were to 
live in Kirksville.

He feels, however, the necessity to stay around his home to help care for his mother 
and grandmother who are ill.

Although she feels tied to her home, junior Barbara Ayers does not like commuting. 
"If it worked out I would prefer living in town, but my husband's shop is in 
Atlanta."

Ayers said commuting did not cut into her social life and might even have expanded 
it. "We went to see Vincent Price and every once in a while we see an occasional 
movie," she said.

Sometimes she feels uninformed about campus events. She tries to stay informed through 
other students, posters and the Index.

Ayers said she spends an hour and 15 minutes each weekday on the road. "It really 
wears out the car, but it's not that bad."

Junior Jon Beeler puts less wear on his car because he only spends 45 minutes on 
the road each weekday. The main reason he does not live in the dorm is because, 
for him, it is cheaper to live at home.

Beeler said he does not meet as many people, nor is his social life as active as 
it would have been had he lived in the dorm.

Even though commuting creates problems, those who commute find it is the most 
feasible solution. ECHO

Fantasies realized
by Lori Burch 

It finally opened. Construction plans began in 1978, construction equipment 
was delayed continually, and the mid-March goal was missed.

The new land of Oz actually opened July 10. It is owned by Bill Hosford, Terry 
Moore, and 10 stockholders. The Oz employs 18 workers, most of them students.
 

(Page 89)

The disco is divided into three sections, the Enchanted Forest, an area to relax 
and talk; Emerald City, where the dance floor and main bar are located; and the 
Wizard's Castle, where there is a deli, bar, and games area.

"We try to name everything pertaining to the story 'The Wizard of Oz,'" said 
Hosford. "Right now our bartenders are inventing different mixed drinks and 
naming them after the characters from the Oz. We also have a full service bar."

In addition to this full service bar the Oz has 80 different specials. Some of 
them are Wet Pants Night, where the beer is free until the first male goes to 
the bathroom; Homework Night every Monday and Tuesday, when students have to 
bring homework to get specials on drinks; and Bear Pitcher Night, when a pitcher 
of Hamms Beer is $1.50.

Dancing in a wonderland -- The sound system at the Oz blares forth as people dance 
to the music. The Oz became a fantasy land for students and townspeople as they 
enjoyed the original atmosphere and creative drinks.

On cue -- Concentrating on hitting the eight ball in the corner pocket, Kirksville 
resident Steve Dent prepares for victory. The pool room is in the Wizard's Castle 
of the Oz.

"We have a distributor come dressed up in the Hamms bear costume, and if someone 
dances with him they might get their picture in the T.V. Host," Hosford said.

The Oz opens at 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 6 p.m. on Saturdays and it closes 
at 1 a.m. On Friday and Saturday there is a dress code and a $1 cover charge.

Hosford, co-owner, said the Oz holds up to 325 people.

Dave Sweeney, senior, said, "I enjoy it. It's something I never expected to 
see in Kirksville."

Other students had the same thoughts about the Oz. Lynn Brockfeld, senior, said, 
"I thought it was very nice. I was impressed, and it was an excellent time."

Leroy Nunn, junior, said, "You have to be there to believe how nice it is." But 
if crowds, dancing and drinking are not appealing, one could go to the new theater.

Petite Twin manager Glenn Boner opened the new theaters May 23.

The number one theater can hold 222 people and number two can hold 198 
people. Boner said a third theater could be added and probably will be 
in the future. These theaters are the only theaters in the state of 
Missouri that are equipped with Dolby and Kentac sound systems.

Pat Cooney, senior, said, "I really like it, especially when you can get in 
for $1.50. The Kennedy and Petite are really competing now."

Dave Gillam, senior, said, "I like it a lot better than the Kennedy although 
it made the Kennedy straighten up. They aren't quite as bad now."

Others said almost the same thing. Jeff Burger, graduate student, said,
"It's nice to have a clean theater in Kirksville." ECHO

Not one but two-- The brightly lit Petite Twin theater took over much of 
the Kennedy's business. The theater became popular entertainment for 
students and townspeople alike after it opened last May.

Cowboy fever
by Jim Sears

It seems that whatever John Travolta does, the rest of the country follows. He 
turned the world on to disco with "Saturday Night Fever" and inspired the cowboy 
trend currently sweeping the nation with his latest movie "Urban Cowboy."

The fad has hit Kirksville with people wearing cowboy hats and listening to country 
and western music. It also inspired Rod Tucker to start a new tavern, named J.R.'s 
after the notorious J.R. Ewing on the TV series, "Dallas."

Tucker opened J.R.'s because he feels it will appeal to people of all ages and to 
those who like country and western music. "There isn't any place in Kirksville where 
you can get a good steak where the atmosphere is relaxed, and it's country and western, 
which at this time is as big as anything else," Tucker said. "There's really no place 
with the old style saloon atmosphere we've created."

J.R.'s attracts a variety of people. "I've seen college kids, very nicely dressed 
businessmen with their wives and just about everybody," Becky Strong, senior, and 
waitress at J.R.'s, said. Strong estimates that at least 30 percent of their business 
is college students, but overall the crowds are a mixture. "It appeals to high and 
low class. A person can get a 16-ounce draw of beer for 75 cents or a frozen strawberry 
daiquiri for $2.50," she said.

Junior Cathy Crawford, who attended opening ceremonies and three nights in its 
first week of business, said J.R.'s will continue to prosper and the cowboy trend 
will hang around. "Everybody's tired of the same old noise and not being able to 
sing along," Crawford said. "It's just another fad going." 

Strong classifies J.R.'s as "classy,
 

(Page 91)

but informal." Entertainment includes a country and western disc jockey, 
wide screen TV, pool, shuffleboard and dancing.

The interior brings to mind episodes of "Gunsmoke," and one can almost picture 
Miss Kitty and the gunslingers. "It has an original atmosphere. The layout is 
like something you would see in a western movie," Crawford said. She also likes 
J.R.'s because it can hold more people than other bars in town.

Tucker, who formerly co-owned Too Tall Tuck's, thinks country and western 
will be the strongest trend for the next 10 to 12 years. He also thinks J.R.'s 
will continue to fulfill the public's hankerin' for a place to enjoy a good 
shindig. At least until John Travolta comes out with another movie. ECHO

Ten gallons -- Kirksville cowgirls share a joke over the bar. Both are employees 
of J.R. 's. J.R. 's serves Texan sized beer for 75 cents a glass. The bar's 
atmosphere has made it a favorite for students.

Through the looking glass -- Although J.R.'s copies a western saloon, the bar is 
modernized and equipped with conveniences and popular drinks. Behind the bar, 
mirrors reflect customers.

Eating out

The Under the Water Tower Cafe was another addition to Kirksville during 
the summer. Located behind Ze Pizzeria, the cafe offers an outdoor atmosphere 
and wholesome food.

The cafe is unique in that all the food is homemade and does not have 
preservatives or additives. Three women who own the business would like 
the restaurant to be referred to as serving wholesome foods rather than 
natural foods. They said health foods might scare certain people away 
from the food.

The cafe, which was outside, featured live music on weekends, John Leeper, 
Kirksville resident, said. The owners hired local talent to entertain 
the customers.

Leeper went to eat at Under the Water Tower three times a week. "I'm into 
junk food, so I would go there to ease my conscience."

Teresa McMurdo, campus secretary, enjoyed the food. "I'm more of a meat and 
potatoes person, but the food there was good."

Another asset the cafe has is its atmosphere. "It's friendly and open," McMurdo 
said. "They (the owners) come by the table to see if everything is O.K. It's
 really a personnel atmosphere."

Sophomore Leah Hafemeister said eating outside and in the shade of trees was 
a unique atmosphere. "It was different eating there. It's not a typical 
restaurant."

The Under the Water Tower Cafe moved to Ze Pizzeria, which formerly was Lisa's 
Pizza, for the winter months. The owners planned to move the cafe back outside 
when the weather warmed up.

We have personal freedom of choice. During the course of the year, however, 
events such as the eruption of Mt. St. Helens reminded us that some things 
are beyond our control. No one voted to allow only 22 seniors for the honor

available.

His first play was written in iambic pentameter, the same style as 
Shakespeare's. And like Shakespeare, he began young. At the age of 
16, senior Riley Ellerbusch attempted his first masterpiece.

He began writing plays in junior high school. "I read 'Romeo and 
Juliet', and then I wrote what I thought was a Shakespearean play," 
Ellerbusch said.

He said the play was not a masterpiece and he put it away. He did not 
do any play writing for several years.

Ellerbusch began writing plays again in junior college, and it now 
occupies most of his time. "I'm always working. People see me staring 
but I'm either lost in thought or I'm watching people." Writers should 
be observers, he said. He gets many of his ideas from watching people.

His latest play is about a woman who has cancer, and how it affects her 
and her family. "It's loosely based on a lady I know. She asked me to 
write a happy story. It really isn't happy, but it is about coping with 
cancer and with life," Ellerbusch said.

Themes dealing with real life situations are in many of his plays. Ellerbusch 
finds his ideas in literature or his imagination. He said innocence, the loss 
of innocence, the American dream and situations in his own hometown appear in 
his writing. He grew up in the St. Louis area, but was born on a farm in Illinois. 
He remembers very little about the farm but said it has been the basis for some 
of his recent writing.

Preparation and hard work are important in any career. Ellerbusch constantly 
looks for criticism in an attempt to improve his skill. "I've taken playwriting 
seminars under Dr. Severns and I'll let almost anyone who will give me criticism 
read my plays if they are really interested."

J.G. Severns, professor of dramatics, finds Ellerbusch's plays promising. "His 
latest works have shown as much promise as the early plays of some writers that 
have become famous." He said that writing is like heaven. "Many are called but 
few are chosen." He thinks Ellerbusch's talent is very "exciting."

Ellerbusch also believes that practice makes perfect. He writes every day even if 
it is only for half an hour or it is "trash. I have written some good trash at 
times."

None of his plays have been published or produced, but they have been given readings, 
which is the first step. Ellerbusch has had plays read at contests sponsored by the 
Missouri Association of Playwrights, of which he is a member. During a reading, actors 
read the play, an audience watches and invited members of the association give 
criticism to the writer. Ellerbusch has also had readings at the American Collegiate 
Theater Festivals.

When he is writing plays, Ellerbusch rarely works on a deadline. He estimates that the 
actual writing time for a play is only a few weeks, thinking time is usually a couple 
of months, typing time is two weeks and rewrites may go on for years. Even when he thinks 
the work is good he may stall sending it to a publisher. "I'm lazy about sending things 
off. I'm a little chicken, too." ECHO

playwriting work

A mountain of trouble
by Brian Greif

On May 18 at 8:30 a.m. one of the greatest natural disasters to happen 
in the United States occurred.

Mount St. Helens, a once-dormant volcano, erupted with amazing force. The 
resulting explosion blew more than 2,000 feet off its top and north face.

Between May 18 and Aug. 15, the mountain erupted six times, blowing ash for 
hundreds of miles and causing serious problems in the northwest United States

The Midwest was separated from the destruction caused by the disaster. For two 
students living in the disaster area, it was reality.

Freshman Don Torbett and senior Pete Kalan lived near the volcano during the summer 
and witnessed the effects of the eruptions.

Kalan is from Renton, Wash., a suburb of Seattle. "When we went outside, the sky 
was pitch black to the south, and very clear to the north. At first we thought we 
were going to get a bad thunderstorm."

Torbett also thought the clouds of ash were thunder clouds. He was working in the 
Mount Hood River Valley at the time of the eruptions. "I got up about 9 o'clock 
that morning. Towards the Washington side of the state it was really dark and I 
thought it was going to rain. I heard about 10 o'clock that those clouds were 
coming from the mountain. We didn't hear the explosion because we were down in 
the river gorge and the shock wave passed right over the top of us."

The biggest problem caused by the eruption was the blanket of ash that covered 
many cities in the area. "People asked just about every day which way the wind 
was blowing, because they didn't want the ash to blow our way. We did get some 
ash, but not as much as other cities in the area."

Torbett said the people where he lived considered themselves lucky. "We didn't 
get very much ash because the wind never blew towards us. I went to Portland 
after one eruption. There were people wearing surgical masks to keep from 
breathing the ash. I saw people hosing down the sidewalks, and the street 
cleaners were working full time."

Kalan said on the way back to school he saw piles of ash as far away as Idaho. 
"It was funny to see tourists along the highways with their shovels scooping 
up ash as souvenirs."

The clean-up is still going on, and many places will show evidence of the eruption 
for years. Kalan said, "It was an awesome sight, something I'll never forget. I never 
dreamed that something could be that powerful."

Torbett said, "We used to drive up to this spot in the Columbia River Gorge where you 
could see the mountain on clear days. We went up there one clear day after the eruption 
to see the mountain and it was gone. The original explosion had blown that much of 
the mountain away."

Mount St. Helens is relatively quiet now. No great explosions have rocked the area or
 dumped piles of ash around the mountain since Aug. 15. This does not mean that the 
mountain's violence is over. Data collected by the University of Washington's Seismology 
Team indicates another eruption is imminent. ECHO

Thar she blows -- Although it was thought to be dormant, Mount St. Helens erupted on 
May 18, 1980, sending ashes as far away as lOO miles. An aerial view of the volcano 
from the west side of the mountain shows thick gray smoke clouding the once-blue 
skies of Washington. This photo was provided courtesy of Aerolift Photographers 
of Seattle, Wash.

The most crucial point of a college career is interviewing for the job, as 
almost any business instructor will say. No matter what the resume contains, 
the student must sell himself in a self-assured, confident manner to the 
prospective employer.

An interviewer from Texas Instruments and a former instructor of business here, 
Dave Gruennert, said a high percentage of University seniors are well-prepared 
for the interview when they go into it. Two senior accounting majors, Deb Bard 
and Jim Huffman, were interviewed by Gruennert.

Bard had two other interviews thoughout the year before the Texas Instruments 
interview. "The first one, I wasn't prepared at all," she said. After talking 
with an instructor about a class, he told her about a company that was 
interviewing at the placements office that day. He suggested she go for 
an interview.

Bard said she had only a revised Business Communications class resume to present 
at the interview.

After her first interview experience, Bard said, she was prepared for the second. 
She dressed up for it and went into the interview with a positive attitude about 
the job.

Huffman remembers his first interview. Since the firm that was interviewing, McGladrey 
Hendrickson & Co., had an office in his hometown, Huffman said, he felt prepared for 
the interview in terms of familiarity with the company.
company.

Prospects -- During Career Fair 1980 held in Pershing Gym, graduate assistant Hugh Emerson 
talks with Dr. Morris of the Des Moines, Iowa, School District. Emerson received his master's 
degree in chemistry and is now part of the Science Division's teaching staff. Emerson also 
received his undergraduate degrees here.

"Mostly we just talked about the training program and different locations where they 
have companies," he said.

The interview with Texas Instruments was different from previous interviews for both 
Huffman and Bard.

Gruennert emphasized the need to know something about the firm before interviewing 
with its representatives. During one interview, Gruennert was discussing various 
aspects of Texas Instruments. He mentioned their estimated projected sales for 
1981 as being $15 million. The student, having read an article on Texas Instruments 
two months previously, corrected him and said he thought it was just $10 million. 
The company had recently increased the sales estimate, Gruennert said.

"That impressed me." That student had taken the initiative to learn something about the 
business world.

Dan Buescher, senior business administration major, found out the importance of researching 
a company before the interview when Wal-Mart was interviewing on campus. "I went in feeling 
really good, but after a few

questions I felt really unprepared," he said. The questions asked 
were to find out where the student was headed in his career. Buescher 
said that he had not thought that far ahead and was at a disadvantage 
because of it.

Because of his interview with Wal-Mart, Buescher said he learned to be 
himself, research the company beforehand and explain himself carefully.

Buescher came in contact with another type of interview with Procter and 
Gamble. It was more "stress interviewing, asking for specifics," he said. 
The interviewees took a timed intensive test that asked hypothetical 
questions such as, "How would you handle an employee who consistently came 
to work late?"

The day after screening the applicant, Procter and Gamble called about 15 
of the applicants in to fill out an in-depth form. Then each applicant was 
interviewed by a panel of three people from Procter and Gamble.

This was the most intensive interview Buescher had ever been through. The 
interview helped him in future interviews to recall projects he had done 
in class that would serve as examples at an interview.

Buescher, as a veteran of eight interviews, suggested that the prospective 
interviewee research the company, write down any questions he might have to 
ask and above all to be himself in a professional way.

Gruennert also said the biggest mistake made is for the interviewee not to 
have a clear-cut idea of what his goals and aspirations are. "Don't try to 
snow the interviewer. You're going to get a job if you be yourself," he 
said.

Not having anything to say for oneself is another common mistake. "Talk as much 
as possible," Gruennert said. The interviewer's job is to make the applicants 
talk about themselves.

Although everyone might not be equal in classwork and grades, Gruennert said that 
everyone interviews at the same level. "The interview is the place for the student 
to express himself. Every company might be different, but Texas Instruments looks 
for the applicant who has innovation, achievement, goals for his life and who can 
accept the risks involved in the job."

Conference -- At Career Fair '80, Green City school supervisor Anthony Huff 
interviews senior Cheryl Auspurger.

Other than oral communication skills, writing skills are also important to the 
interviewer, Gruennert said.

The interview is the place to show those skills. By being prepared and doing a 
little homework about the firm before the interview, the college senior can go 
into the interview and prove that the last four years have made him ready for 
the job market. ECHO

"The committee is real selective; you can tell they take the job seriously," 
senior Patricia Wilsdorf said. "I am more honored by the fact that they only 
chose 22 students."

When the names of the people selected to be placed in "Who's Who Among Students in 
American Universities and Colleges" were announced, 22 seniors were honored and 55 
were disappointed. Out of a possible 47, the panel only filled 22 spots.

"It's not that everyone didn't deserve to get it, but some deserved it more than 
others. They had their criteria set up about who they wanted in," senior Greg Van 
Gorp said. "It didn't bother me too much. I don't live or die by being published." 
Van Gorp was not selected.

Senior Jim Huffman also said he was not too upset about not being selected. "I knew 
what they based their criteria on. I'm in quite a few organizations, but not as many 
as some."

The number of students allowed to be included in the book is determined by Who's Who 
according to the size of the school. With an enrollment of about 6,400 students, NMSU 
was allowed 47.

"We don't have to fill the quota and we never have," Vonnie Nichols, director of 
student activities and selection committee member, said.

Senior Randy Hultz echoed this by saying, "Just because a certain number can be 
chosen, it doesn't mean they should be." He also said some students he knows who 
were not accepted were upset they were not chosen, but Hultz, who was, said he did 
not think all 47 spaces should have been filled.

"It seemed like an awfully low number (of people accepted) but maybe fewer people 
applied," Lynn Brockfeld, senior, said. "I don't think it was advertised very well." 
Brockfeld, who will be listed, said she felt students were not informed very well 
about the point system used in judging.

The applications are reviewed by a committee of six members from the faculty and 
administration and given points. Nichols said points are given for scholarships, 
high grade point averages, participation in campus activities and leadership roles, 
honors and awards, community contributions, involvement in professional organizations, 
Greek activities, and interest groups. "The points are used as guidelines but we look 
at the person as a whole," Nichols said.

Students who apply must write a letter stating why they want to be listed in Who's Who. 
"The student's letter and the letter of recommendation are very important factors in 
selecting the students," Nichols said.

Hultz said, "It makes you just take a look at yourself and why you are worthy of being 
included in the book."

Those students who applied and were accepted feel honored. "It is a nice honor for the 
family and community," Wilsdorf said. "There were three from my county that made it so 
they did a front page spread in the newspaper and really made a big deal out of it."

The students said they got a lot of personal satisfaction from the honor but also hope 
it will help them in other ways. "I hope it will aid me in finding a job," Brockfeld 
said. I think the companies I'm applying to will take it into consideration."

Because the quota was less than half filled, many students were upset, but Nichols said, 
"The program emphasizes excellence, and we feel the students selected typify excellence."

With pen in hand -- Senior Randy Hultz was selected from 77 applicants to be listed in 
Who's Who. Only 22 received the honor.

Best seats in the house

Home Box Office can make a party exist in a person's own living room. Kirksville was 
introduced to HBO in the summer of 1979. After a week of free trial viewing, a customer 
could decide to purchase the service for $8.75 per month.

David Lascu, director of Dobson Hall, has people popping in and out of his apartment to 
watch HBO all the time. "My apartment is real small, but I had 30 people here once to 
watch 'Halloween,'" Lascu said.

"Everybody has a good time watching HBO. It gives them a break from studying, and it's a 
way to meet people," he said. "I particularly like to watch it because it's different 
from a TV program."

HBO does not have any interruptions and does not cut or edit its movies, Lascu said.

At a house in Kirksville, commonly known as Buckingham Palace, eight men have HBO. 
Usually five to 10 people come over twice a week to watch HBO with them.

"We don't have a lot of room, so it's really crowded and noisy," said junior Leroy 
Nunn, "but it's especially fun when 'Animal House,' 'Halloween' or the 'French 
Burlesque' is on, because everyone gets rowdy."

He said they usually have a party during or after a movie.

"It's a great convenience to have. You can even talk if you want, and you can't at 
the show," Nunn said.

Junior Christie Mercer has HBO in her apartment and likes to have people over to 
watch scary movies.

"We had around 10 to 12 people over to watch 'Halloween,'" Mercer said. "Everybody 
was hiding their faces and screaming, and one girl even left the room. The guys 
just laughed, though."

She also had people over during "Amityville Horror." "I think HBO is a great 
source of entertainment. I watch it around three times a week," she said. "It's 
a lot more fun, though, to have a bunch of friends over to watch it with me, 
especially scary ones."

Senior Mark Morrissey likes to have a party and then decide if everyone wants 
to watch HBO.

"We usually have people over once every two weeks. It's usually noisy and a lot 
of drinking going on," said Morrissey.

He said one of the wildest ones was during "Rocky II." It went over so well that 
he had people over again when the show was repeated.

"It's a great source to work parties around," he said.

Senior Debbie Baldwin also has HBO. "It's really fun to have a group of friends over 
to watch HBO, and I wish sororities and fraternities could have it for enjoyment."

Because HBO is limited to private homes only, fraternity houses are not allowed to 
subscribe.

One night, a fraternity house used a member's box to watch "Halloween." There were 
50 people watching, senior Lori Sportsman said. "All I can say is it was a blast. We 
all partied and got scared." ECHO

Hobo -- To senior Terry Shivley, visiting junior Becky Calvert, senior Becky Hartmann 
and junior Christy Mercer, HBO offers movies at low costs.

Showing Off

The Showboat Gamblers performed precision routines throughout the football 
season at each home game, and traveled with the Bulldogs to Springfield to 
perform in the halftime show of the game against the Southwest Missouri State 
Bears. Senior Jim Cowles also a band cheerleader, plays a solo during that 
performance. The band also performed in a guest spot at a high school band 
contest in Knoxville, Iowa.

Using her head

Since her childhood in Nigeria, senior Doris Anyadoh has been carrying things 
on her head. She began working in Ryle Hall Cafeteria in 1979, but took time 
off to have a baby. Anyadoh often carries her baby on her back and other 
loads on her head.

Dirty deed

With no other team members in sight, Scott Galvan, sophomore, and Chuck Hall, 
junior, members of Phi Kappa Theta, slide into the mud pit. With 14 teams 
competing in the tug-of-war, Alpha Gamma Rho ended up the winner in the men's 
division and the Rho Mates took the women's title. The two-day event had four 
entries in the women's division and 10 in the men's. The Phi Kaps did not place 
in the event.

In performance -- Sophomore Mark Williams coaxes cheers out of a men's 
basketball crowd at Pershing Arena. Williams performed at several home 
basketball games.

Halftime showoff

The last of the players have left the court. The Rhythmettes finish their 
performance. There is a slight lull and then the pep band strikes up the 
now-famous first chords of "Flying High," the theme from the movie "Rocky."

Suddenly, out of the crowd charges an eccentrically dressed man who thrills 
the spectators as he runs around the court. He wears various costumes, but 
almost always wears sunglasses, a stocking cap and a white cape.

He may leap the team bench, do one-armed push-ups or run around with his arms 
held high in the age-old sign of victory. Sometimes he ends his performance by 
dashing up the bleachers at full speed.

It has been another successful hype session presented by sophomore Mark Williams. 
His first appearance was in Baldwin Auditorium during the movie "Halloween," 
shown on Oct. 31.

Tracy Eubanks, freshman, was at the movie that night. "He ran across the floor and 
then slid. He also sang his own little song," she said.

Williams tries to make at least one appearance at all home games, each time in a 
different get-up. His cast of characters has included such greats as Joliet Jake 
of the Blue Brothers, Groucho Marx and a Samurai, as well as those he has made up 
on his own.

No matter what the get-up, the motive is always the same. "I like to have fun, and 
I like to make people laugh," Williams said. He says he knows what is and is not 
funny. "All you have to do is tell the truth and be realistic. The only ones that 
don't laugh at you then are the fools, and I don't care about them as long as I'm 
having fun."

If making people laugh is his main motive, he seems to be pretty successful. Junior 
Marta Zucca said, "I just saw him once at a basketball game. I thought it was pretty 
funny."

Laurie Parsons, freshman, said, "I thought it was cute. 'Rocky' was playing and 
it was neat."

Others feel he would do anything, even streak. Williams scoffed at this statement 
and said, "That's preposterous. I would never do anything like that. Only nuisances 
do that."

Freshman Frankie Demouth said she thought he really fired up the crowd.

The only complaint seems to be that his performance does not last long enough. "I 
think he should cheer more often. Usually you only see him at halftime."

Demouth agreed, "I thought they needed more halftime entertainment." Williams' 
ability to perform in front of others seems to be a natural trait. He has not 
taken any acting classes because they are just not funny enough. This man of a 
thousand disguises never plans his routines. "The ideas just hit me and--whammo--I 
do 'em. People never know what I'll do next. And the funny thing is, I don't know 
what I'll do next either."

As the band plays the last chords of Williams' and Sylvester Stallone's theme song, 
William once again disappears into the crowd.

The players come back on the court and the fans' attention is once more focused on 
the game. Williams will remain at large until the next home basketball game. ECHO

"I can't get a job, I'm not socially accepted, girls think I'm weird and my 
parents hate it," junior Mark Hlubeck said. Hlubeck wears his hair past his 
shoulders because "it makes people mad. It's more or less a protest against 
the conservative society we live in. Everyone conforms to the disco or the 
J.R. look."

Freshman Rick Peppers wears his hair long because he likes it. "God gave me hair 
to grow," he said. "If He wanted me to be bald, He wouldn't have given me hair. 
Besides, I don't want to look like everyone else in Kirksville. I want to be 
different."

Both Hlubeck and Peppers have run into problems because of their nonconformity. 
They discovered that people are not willing to accept them because they are 
different. "Everyone judges you on appearance," Hlubeck said. "They assume that 
because your hair is long, you're a drug addict.

People always ask me if I wanna get high because they assume I do. But pot has 
nothing to do with my having long hair. I might get a Mohawk or a crewcut just 
to make people mad." Peppers said, "I went to a fraternity party one time, and 
they wouldn't let me in just because of the way I looked." Hlubeck said he thought 
too many people are worried about their appearance. "People look at you like you're 
from a different planet," he said. "My girlfriend broke up with me because I had 
long hair. Too many people are worried about their hair.

"I think I got kicked off the football team because of my hair," he said. "I was 
a fast running back, so it had to be my hair. I don't think they should judge by 
appearance instead of playing ability. I felt the attitudes toward me."

Peppers and Hlubeck said they feel that long hair is a symbol of their freedom. 
"It's status," Hlubeck said. "I stand out in a crowd. People don't look at me 
like I'm cool, but they think I'm a freak."

Peppers said, "It proves I'm cool. If people don't like me because I have long 
hair, that's too bad."

Hlubeck said, "My attitudes are good because I'm out for what the person is like 
on the inside instead of what they look like. It's cool that people are prejudiced 
against me because I can level with other minorities."

Hlubeck said he never combs his hair so it looks like he has a permanent. "It 
depends on the shampoo you use," he said. "I never spend anything less than $10 
on a bottle of shampoo. And I never let a guy cut my hair. Girls cut a guy's hair 
so that it looks appealing to them, but guys screw it up."

Hlubeck said the last time he had short hair was in 1977. "I look better with long 
hair," he said. "If I went out for sports, I'd cut it to a point of practicality, 
but not because someone told me to." ECHO

Another minority -- Although long hair is out of style, junior Mark Hlubeck wears 
his hair long. He reads an Italian magazine he bought when visiting Europe

"Kids haven't changed," Bob Kiechlin, senior, said. Kiechlin should know. He spends 
three hours a day driving grade school children to and from school.

"I fall for the same things that I pulled on my bus driver 15 years ago. You know, 
stupid little things, like kids'll get on the bus and say, 'Guess what?' I'll say 
'What?' He'll say 'That's what!' and start laughing."

Kiechlin started driving for the Kirksville School District in 1979. 
Because this is his second year, Kiechlin said he knows the children 
on his route and they know what to expect from him. "They're a good 
bunch of kids, here," he said. "I've got them trained." 

Rick Mateer, senior, has been driving a school bus for three years. "Most of 
the time, they (the children) are pretty disciplined. In the afternoon, they 
get wound up because they're free from school. But I have a loud voice and 
it sounds pretty boisterous. So when I yell, they know I mean business," he said.

Establishing who the boss is was senior Rick Gordon's method of keeping children 
under control. "It takes a couple of days to convince them that they're not 
the boss," he said. "The little ones don't respond too well to reason, but 
if you yell at them, it does the job."

Senior Jerry Smith also drives a rural route with kindergarteners through sixth 
graders. His route has only 18 children, so he drives a van rather than a regular 
school bus. Smith likes all of his children but he said he cannot relate very well 
to the little ones who "get mouthy sometimes."

Smith said the main reason he does not have trouble is because 
the kids are all close to him and he knows what is going on. "I take 
them to McDonald's when they're really good and when they all have 
money," he said.

"They're all unique," Kiechlin said. "Some days, I might not be in a good mood 
and they can sense that, so they leave me alone. And if I think a kid's had a 
bad day at school, I don't give him a hard time, either."

The drivers enjoy the children. The smaller children are friendlier and they talk 
to Mateer. "There's two small boys that are just cuter than bug's eyes," he said. 
"I like them. It's fun to sit and talk to them. The smaller ones are funny."

Gordon also gets a kick out of the younger children. "They like to tell me what they 
did in school. They'll show me an A they are proud of, or a paper they made a good 
grade on. One little girl gave me a sheet of paper that elementary school kids use 
to print their alphabet. She had written 'Addresses and Phone Numbers' on the front 
of it. She gave it to me so I could keep my girlfriends' telephone numbers in it."

Junior Mike Holle has driven a bus for three years. He said, "The little ones 
sometimes give me things. They gave me their pictures and I pasted them up in 
the front of the bus."


All aboard -- As he steps into the bus, senior Bruce Borron gets ready to depart 
from Ophelia Parrish, the junior high school building on campus. Borron drives 
kindergarten through sixth grade on a rural route.

Big wheels (cont.)

Smith has a couple of favorite passengers on board. "We're not supposed to let 
the kids chew (tobacco) on the bus," he said. "But I let one older kid do it as 
long as he rolls down the window to spit.

"Some of the kids give me presents," he said. "One little boy gave me a hat for 
my birthday because when I wake up at 6 a.m., I don't feel like taking a shower." 
The hat hides his mussed hair.

Although Kiechlin gets along with the majority of the students, he said after one 
incident he had to write a misconduct report on a fourth grader. "He was excessively 
loud and rowdy and wouldn't stay put," he said. "He used unprintable language, bothered 
other kids and couldn't keep his hands to himself. Finally I turned him over to John 
Spainhower (the director of transportation) and let him handle it."

When Holle first started driving a bus in Kirksville, he was given a city route 
which he did not like. "On a city route, there're more kids, so you can't get to 
know them," he said. "The kids didn't respect anyone. They used bad language and 
fought, so I threw a couple of them off."

Gordon said bus drivers have to understand the children to get along with them. 
Gordon drives kindergarteners through high schoolers on a rural route. He said 
driving kids to and from school is more of a responsibility than teachers have. 
"Some teachers can't handle 30 kids in front of them," he said. "Bus drivers have 
66 kids in back of them, and it's dangerous. There's a lot of responsibility 
involved." ECHO

When the bell rings -- The schoolyard of Ophelia Parrish is quiet as junior Bernie 
Fennewald waits for the bell. At 3 p.m., the signal for a stampede is given as 
children run for the buses and the ride home.

Mouse lives in Missouri Hall. Tiger lives off campus. And both 
are aliases.

Freshman Mike Bryant explained how he was given his nickname, Mouse.

"At the beginning of the year my friends kidded me and told me I looked 
like one of those mice on a Christmas cartoon. From then on they just 
started calling me 'Mouse.'"

Bryant said he isn't offended by his nickname. "I don't get offended by much."

Not being on time is one characteristic of many college students, but no one 
else can claim the name of Pokey Joe (or P.J.) except sophomore Sharon Cramer.

"My freshman year two of my friends and I were supposed to go to a party.
They called me and I told them I'd be right over. I showed up 45 minutes 
later." Since then, Pokey Joe said, she is never late.

Freshman Patty Westermann said, "Two girls in our hall were trying out for 
Rhythmettes. Jane Wetzel and I called ourselves the Rhythmnotts. She called 
me Bernice and I called her Maxine or Max. A lot of our friends call us that, 
even guys." When asked if she got embarrassed about the names, Westermann said, 
"It depends where I am."

Sophomore Ron Romeo received his nickname during the summer when he wrote letters 
to his girlfriend.

"When I wrote her letters I never started with the usual "Hi." I started out with 
"Hi, Sweety" or something like that. She always started out the same old way. Then 
once she decided to be different and wrote "Hi, Tiger." My brother saw the letter 
as I was reading it and started joking me about it. He told some of our friends 
and a few of them started calling me Tiger."

The nickname C.C. has several meanings for junior Betsy Reimers, but she recalls 
the first real meaning.

"Once at a TKE party I was drinking Canadian Club whiskey. A few of the TKEs saw 
me and the next day they began calling me C.C., but I won't comment." ECHO

A mouse in the dorm -- Freshman Mike Bryant, otherwise known as "Mouse, " 
is not offended by his nickname, although he did not choose it.

Me and my turtle -- A stuffed turtle is a fitting mascot for Sharon "Pokey Joe" 
Cramer, sophomore. Cramer said she is never late, now.

Interstate trade

Travel is an attractive prospect, but few students have an opportunity 
to combine it with a college education. Even when the opportunity arises, 
it may be unaffordable.

The National Student Exchange offers students an opportunity to spend a 
semester at another university while paying tuition and fees here.

Keith Syberg, administrative assistant to the dean of students, said students 
have many reasons for exchanging. "Some students don't find precisely the 
courses they want to round out their degrees. Some want to go to California 
because it is a different culture, area and kind of people."

Junior Pat O'Brien spent the fall semester at the University of New Mexico at 
Albuquerque. He said he chose that university because of its Fine Arts program. 
"Some of my instructors had taken classes there. I think unconsciously they 
influenced my decision," O'Brien said.

Sophomore Jolein Paulding had another reason for choosing Montana State University 
at Bozeman. She and her father spent several days there about a year and a half ago. 
She thought she would enjoy going back. "I didn't even know it was on the list, but 
when I saw it, I put it as my first choice," she said.

Syberg said about 30 students applied in 1980, but only nine were accepted. The number 
of students accepted is limited because the University has to balance the number of 
students coming in and going out. This sometimes provides a problem because not as 
many people choose to come to Kirksville as to go to California, he said. Thirty-five 
states are involved in the program.

Applicants are screened by a four-member panel and are judged on the basis of a three-
page application, which includes an essay on why the exchange would benefit them. The 
program also requires that the applicants have a 2.5 GPA and are freshmen or sophomores. 
The panel also looks for students who would be good ambassadors for the University, 
Syberg said.

Students choose four universities and rank them according to preference. They do not 
always get their first choice. Program directors attend a conference in March in which 
they try to trade students, Syberg said.

Both O'Brien and Paulding got their first choice, but each had unique experiences. 
O'Brien found the Spanish influence in New Mexico dominant. "I didn't really learn 
Spanish but I did pick up different words by association," he said.

O'Brien said there was a big difference in the attitudes of individuals. "People were 
friendly once you got to know them," he said. "They won't look you directly in the eye 
unless they know you. It takes time."

Paulding said she also saw a difference in the people. "They were super friendly," 
she said. "They were the friendliest people I've ever met." The people seemed to 
move slower and be more easygoing, she said.

They do a lot more outdoors sports such as backpacking, hiking, and cross-country 
skiing, Paulding said. The Outdoor Recreation Center on campus organized weekend 
trips to nearby Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier National parks.

The students in Montana were a lot like those here, Paulding said. "They drive to 
the east entrance of Yellowstone, and there's a warm spot in the river. Everybody 
brings their beer and they have a party in the middle of the river. They called it 
hot potting, and it reminded me of the parties at the lake here," Paulding said.
She said they like to hot pot when it is snowing.

Skiing was also popular in New Mexico, O'Brien said. Since Albuquerque is the hot 
air balloon capital he was able to ride in one.

O'Brien noted one other big difference between New Mexico and Kirksville. "The water 
is really good there."

He said he was also interested to discover the president of Mexico was also taking 
classes at the University of New Mexico.

Both Paulding and O'Brien said the trip made them appreciate home. "While I was 
in New Mexico I received 141 letters from family and friends," O'Brien said. 
"It really made me appreciate the people who didn't forget."

Paulding said she looked forward to the letters and care packages from home.

"I learned a lot about myself and other people," Paulding said.

Syberg said he thought the program helps the University as much as the student. 
"Almost every student comes back with a better feeling about this school," he 
said. "They feel they get just as good an education here as anywhere." ECHO

When it comes to living, she believes Once is not enough
by Carla Robinson

"It was really a strange sensation. She said my foot wouldn't stop itching until 
I took my sock and shoe off to scratch it, and it was true," Rick Rostek, junior, 
said while describing his experience with hypnosis.

Rostek was hypnotized by Irene Hickman, a retired doctor of osteopathic medicine who 
taught at the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. While doing research in 
osteopathic schools, she arrived in Kirksville. Although she taught at KCOM for awhile, 
she still takes classes at the University.

Hickman became interested in hypnosis while working with psychosomatic illnesses. She 
and a friend once picked up a hypnosis handbook and regressed back to previous lifetimes. 
She now uses hypnosis as a tool for working with stresses, and believes everyone has 
lived previous lives. "If a person isn't good enough in one life, they get a chance to 
live another one," she said.

Junior Bruce Hansen went with two other people to Hickman's trailer for a session. "She 
was more or less a coach," Hansen said. "We hypnotized each other while she told us to 
relax and described what we should think of. She told us to think about the motion of 
the sea and floating in emptiness." Since it was his first time to be hypnotized, Hansen 
said he did not go under very far. "You get very relaxed, to the point where you really 
don't know what's happening," he said. "It's like when you're almost asleep, but not 
quite."

Hickman told them to remember back to their childhood when they were three years old. 
"Things would pop in and out," Hansen said. "I remembered a friend and I used to eat 
breakfast at each others' houses. Our mothers would both get up and fix breakfast, 
so we'd
 

(Page 131)

eat twice. It's little unimportant things that are in your memories but 
you just don't think about them."

Rostek said he remembered everything Hickman had said while he was under. 
"You don't come out of it and forget what happened. It's the power of 
suggestion that makes you feel and remember certain things." Hickman said, 
"There are so many misconceptions about hypnotism. Most people think they 
don't remember what they said when they come out of it, but that's not 
always true. Some people think it is the work of the devil, and some 
think it is the surrender of the will."

She recalled one woman who could not drink cold water. Hickman hypnotized 
her and said she discovered that in four previous lifetimes she suffered 
terrible drowning incidents.

"I don't just believe people lived past lifetimes, I know it," Hickman said. 
"Life is a continual learning process. We're always learning more and more. 
I am totally convinced that this is real. A lot of problems people have today 
result from past lifetimes."

She once hypnotized a white man who hated white people. She said she found out 
he was once an Indian scout and had been reborn in a white man's body.

Another man had trouble speaking without stuttering and had problems having 
a sexual relationship with a woman. Hickman said when she put him under 
hypnosis she discovered that in a previous lifetime he was hanged for 
sleeping with a married woman.

"We all return to life," Hickman said, "but we aren't always in our skins." 
Hickman said she regressed into a past life when she lived in Palestine during 
Jesus' time. "The children were being blessed by Jesus. But I just stood off by 
myself and hung on to my mother's skirt.

"There is a time of graduation," Hickman said. "Once we reach the goodness we 
want, we don't have to come back anymore." ECHO

as she counts backwards from 21. Before she reaches the number one the subject 
is usually under hypnosis.

Full schedule
by Melanie Mendelson

Bookworm -- Overloaded with classes as well as books, senior Chad Schatz took 
20 hours. He also student taught and worked several hours a week at the 
Kirksville Daily Express.
 

(Page 133)

Because of graduation requirements, some seniors must take an extreme 
overload to graduate.

Students must have a grade point average of 3.0 to take an overload, 
but "we're pretty liberal," Tom Churchwell, assistant to the dean of 
instruction, said. "We usually let them. But if a student takes 20 
hours or over, he must confer with Dean Krueger."

Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction, said, "There're not very many students 
who want to take 20 hours. I'd say about 20 a semester and they're almost 
always seniors."

Krueger said he looks at academic ability and previous grade point averages 
and listens to a student's reasons before he allows him to take extra hours. 
"The ones I feel comfortable with are the ones that are going to graduate in 
May."

Senior Chad Schatz was in this predicament and was forced to take an overload. 
He majored in business education, and worked toward a certification in mass 
communication and an area of concentration in business administration. In the 
fall, his class load added up to 20 hours. He also worked six hours a week for 
the Kirksville Daily Express. "I'm doing it (taking an overload) mostly to get 
closer to my certification in journalism," he said.

"Right now I'm doing my internship in journalism, student teaching for business 
education in Novinger and taking a methods course. I'm probably not supposed to 
be student teaching and taking a class at the same time, but I'm doing it anyway."

Senior Janis Loder packed her schedule with 20 hours because she decided to change 
her major. "I was majoring in psychology in my freshman and sophomore years," 
she said. "That really put me behind when I switched my major to music business."

Loder was also involved in NEMO Singers, which met every day for an hour, and the 
Ensemble, which met twice weekly. "Stuff like that kind of interferes with studying," 
she said.

Senior Marsha Curtis also needed extra hours to graduate. Curtis recently enrolled 
in an advanced ROTC course and overloaded with 20 hours so she could graduate. 
"There're a lot of extra activities we have to do for ROTC," she said.
"I'm also a member of the National Guard, and I have to work one weekend a month."
Schatz, Loder and Curtis all had to use their time to the fullest to fit studying in.

"I've got to utilize my time to the fullest. Even when I'm correcting papers, I'm always
thinking ahead about what I've got to do next," Schatz said.

However, Loder said she does not find time to study. "I make time," she said. "If 
you ask my roommates, they'll tell you I don't study at all. I have bookwork in 80 
percent of my classes, but nothing real strenuous. Term papers are a problem because 
I was doing them when I was a freshman and I hate doing them now."

Curtis said, "I turn off the radio and the TV and make myself study. I'm basically 
a crammer-type person, and I try to do homework all in one night."

These students are only three out of many who must overload their schedules in order 
to graduate. A typical day's routine might consist of five hours of sleep, six hours 
of classes, six hours of studying and three hours of extracurricular activities.

Students will go to far measures to get their degrees. Schatz, Loder and Curtis went 
to extremes with their overloads because they wanted to graduate in May, but they were 
not the only ones.

Churchwell summed up their feelings. "Students in their senior year can handle extra 
hours because they're more mature. When their goal is graduation, they're willing to 
get down to business." ECHO

Merrily go 'round

During recess at the Child Development Center, children swing on a gate. 
For the first time the Center was open all day. A head teacher at the 
Center, Michelle Henkel, said, "We give them a lot of free choice time 
and offer a variety of activities. We keep it as unstructured as possible 
for the young ones so they can develop at their own rate."

Television's favorite villain was shot and everyone wanted to know 
Whodunit?

At the end of the 1979-80 television season, someone shot J.R. Ewing 
on the television series, "Dallas." But who? That question was the 
subject for TV shows, game shows and contests, as well as being on 
the minds of every "Dallas" fan for the entire summer. However, they 
had to wait for several months to find out who the culprit was. 
During the agonizing wait, a "Who Shot J.R.?" contest was held, 
and a prize was given to a person who was correct. The hit song 
"Who Shot J.R." played on radios across the United States. And 
according to a poll in Us magazine, Larry Hagman, who played J.R., 
was the most photographed person in 1980.

The craze also hit campus and students placed bets with each other 
about who shot J.R.

Roommates Karen Havener, Jeri Lockett and Kathy Rackers, sophomores, made 
bets about who shot J.R. Rackers thought Alan Beam, a lawyer whom J.R. 
ruined, did it. "I wasn't real sure, but Alan Beam's alibi wasn't right. 
He said he was in Missouri at the time of the shooting and it didn't fit 
in with the plot."

Lockett suspected Miss Elbe, J.R.'s mother, because she was the least likely 
person to have done it. "I think she was mad at J.R. because he kicked Bobby 
(J.R.'s younger brother) out of the house. Bobby was her favorite son."

Havener said, "I suspected Kristin but I really didn't know for sure. Kristin 
seemed to have the best motive." Neither Lockett nor Rackers were on target 
in their guesses.

Senior Paul Schaffer, on the other hand, was positive that Kristin shot J.R.
"It was so obvious," he said. Kristin had a motive because J.R. threatened to 
have her arrested for prostitution.

Ironically, Kristin was J.R.'s secretary and mistress. She was also the sister 
of his wife, Sue Ellen, whom she framed.

In Schaffer's opinion, Kristin is "a witch. Since she's J.R.'s secretary, she 
knows people in high-up places and messes with their minds."

It turned out that Schaffer, and everyone else who thought Kristin shot J.R., 
was correct.

According to Time magazine, of the l00 million viewers in 57 countries, 61 
percent were tuned in to "Dallas" on Nov. 21, 1980, to watch the revealing 
of the criminal.

Although "Dallas" competed with the final performance of "Hello, Dolly!", the 
Bulldogs' first home basketball game and the Student Activities Board movie, 
"The Main Event," in Kirksville, most people in residence halls, apartments 
and fraternity houses had their televisions tuned in to "Dallas" to find out 
who shot J.R.

Sue Ellen was arrested for the shooting, but was released on bail.

Kristin admitted to the shooting, after being confronted by Sue Ellen. J.R. 
did not press charges against her because she was pregnant with his child. 
"J.R. does not want a Ewing baby born in jail because of the scandal it would 
cause," Schaffer said.

Lockett said, "At first Sue Ellen thought she did do it because she was an 
alcoholic and when she was drinking, she sometimes had blackouts. But her 
psychiatrist hypnotized her and found out she didn't do it."

Schaffer said, "J.R. would rather have his wife framed for the shooting than 
cause a scandal in the family. He got Sue Ellen out of jail, though, and sent 
Kristin to California with a promise of a fat check to her baby every month 
after it was born."

Although Kristin was the guilty party, almost everyone in "Dallas" had a motive 
to shoot J.R. (Some fans have expressed a desire to shoot him.)

"Bobby could have done it because J.R. kicked him out of the house," Schaffer 
said. "Cliff Barnes (a long time enemy) was cheated out of $500,000 a year by 
J.R." And still others thought it was Alan Beam or Miss Ellie.

Although the suspense is over, avid "Dallas" fans still tune in on Friday nights 
to watch the continuation of the prime time soap opera. Now the questions are: 
What will happen to Kristin's baby? Will J.R. ruin Bobby? Will J.R. ruin 
everybody? ECHO

The night everyone waited for -- In the second floor lounge of Centennial Hall, 
Tami Tharp and Jolene Stuck, both seniors, wait to find out who shot J.R. Ewing 
on "Dallas."

Nerve wrecking
by Anne Fleming

The test has begun and as you sit there making every possible effort 
to concentrate on the questions and their correct answers, the ominous, 
almost rhythmical click, click, click, click of a pen destroys all your 
powers of concentration. You are listening to your neighbor's nervous 
habit.

Robert Cowan, associate professor of psychology, said there are two 
viewpoints regarding the reason people develop these habits. "The first, 
known as the psychoanalytic theory, is that a person is subject to sexual 
fantasies which make him feel guilty, so he punishes himself by mutilating 
his body. This mutilation takes the form of biting his fingernails, for 
example," he said.

"In my opinion, the behaviorist theory is a better explanation. It contends 
that when people are anxious, they must do something to reduce or release the 
tension they have built up. To do so, they bite their fingernails, or wiggle, 
or pop their knuckles," he said.

Senior Sally Herleth said, "I notice people's nervous habits more when I'm taking 
a test because I'm nervous. I try to concentrate and can't." Wiggling her leg 
relieves the tension.

Lack of interest in what is happening can cause boredom, which also ends in 
tension. Senior Deb Thompson was reading a textbook and watching a soap opera, 
neither of which interested her. As she read, she realized she was wiggling her 
foot continuously. She said, "I do it because I don't have anything better to 
do. I'm bored."

Junior Cindy Brinkley also wiggles her leg because she's bored. "Other people's 
nervous habits really bug me," she said. "When I'm at home, my little brother 
always wiggles all over at the dinner table. The food nearly jumps off the 
table."

Another senior, Amy Ivy, said, "I wind my hair around my fingers because it gives 
my hands something to do." Nervous habits are annoying to junior Mary Goerne. 
"There's a girl in one of my classes who constantly plays with her hair. She 
always manages to sit right in front of me. It drives me nuts."

Sophomore Jane Wolcott is annoyed at teachers who pace back and forth. "I've sat 
in class and watched how many times they do it in a minute. It's sort of like 
watching a tennis match -- back and forth, back and forth."

Junior Becky Calvert was also annoyed by a teacher's nervous habits. "I had a 
business teacher who said 'uh' about 62 times in a five-minute period," she 
said. "He also pulled up his pants every five minutes. It drove me up the wall 
because at 7:30 in the morning I didn't feel like putting up with that. That's 
why I didn't go to class very often.

Some people are not bothered by others' nervous habits. Senior Homer Lambert 
said, "Nail-biting bothers me, but only when people I know do it because I 
pay more attention to them and I'm around them more. I want to say 'Will 
you cut that out?'" Lambert used to bite his fingernails when he was young 
and his mother would yell at him to stop. "That's why it bothers me when 
others do it," he said. "Usually, nervous habits don't bother me that much, 
though." ECHO

It's a twister -- Without thinking about it, sophomore Susan Schiefelbein twists 
her hair as she studies. People resort to nervous habits at times when they are 
nervous or bored.

That's a bite -- As she concentrates on her book, freshman Sharri Carroll chews her 
fingernails. Whether conscious of it or not, most students have some form of habit 
that annoys others.

Manning the doors doors
by John Guittar

It is five minutes after visitation hours are over and you are caught 
in Ryle Hall with your escort. The resident assistant writes you up and 
on your way out you see a man sitting in the lounge. You are now very 
perturbed and you turn to the RA and say, "I get written up and you have 
a guy in the lounge. What gives?"

This could very well be a scene in Ryle or Centennial hall, as this year 
both halls have a male night host. Freshman John Cronin and junior Glenn 
Zimmerman are two men who appear to break the rules every night they work.

It has always been an option that males could apply for the position, Pam 
Boersig, Ryle Hall director, said.

Cronin was the only male to apply for the position in Ryle Hall. "I needed 
a job, and wanted to stay on campus." He works from 1 to 6 a.m. on Saturdays. 
Cronin said his job is interesting. "Some of the girls who come in don't 
realize I'm a guy, because I usually have my nose buried in a book."

Zimmerman worked as a desk clerk in Centennial Hall last year and one night 
filled in for a night host who could not work. This year, Zimmerman is both 
a desk clerk and a night host. "Most people wonder how I got the job and why 
I can stay in the hall when other male visitors have to leave," he said.

Centennial Hall resident Jane Bischoff, senior, said one morning when she and 
her friends were returning from a trip to Ottumwa at about 5 a.m., "We were 
walking down the steps to go into the dorm when we saw this guy standing at 
the door. He let us in and ran. At first I thought it was a girl. Then we 
found it was a guy and that he was the night host."

Since Zimmerman works both at the desk and as night host, residents have learned 
to recognize him and are not surprised as they first were. "At first girls didn't 
expect to see a man let them in. Guys don't expect to see me either," he said.

There are mixed reactions about men working as night hosts. Junior Nancy Dintelman, 
president of Centennial Hall, said, "I have mixed emotions about it. Why have a guy 
as a night host when no other guys are allowed in the halls after hours? But then 
again, it's almost a good form of protection." Some of the duties of a night host

situation. " ECHO

Forecasting his future
by Greg Wiss

Pouring rain and four inches of snow may be an unwelcome sight, but not 
to Marty Dmytrack. He is a sophomore from Sunset Hills who enjoys 
forecasting the weather.

"Weathermen don't like sunny days," claims Dmytrack. "I enjoy severe weather 
a lot." Maybe it is not unusual for him to be a weatherman, but Dmytrack has 
no formal training in that field.

His interest in weather began when he was five years old. At that time he started 
predicting the weather to family members. Dmytrack waited a few years before making 
his first public forecast.

After reading meterology books, Dmytrack started making weather predictions for his 
high school radio station. This helped him land a position as weatherman at KNEU and 
"Campus View," where he gives daily and weekly forecasts.

What separates him from other weathermen is his method of prediction. He never uses 
the National Weather Service forecast, or any of their weather devices except a 
weather map. Although Dmytrack admits that a lot of forecasting is guesswork, he 
relies on memory and his knowledge of the weather to make his daily forecasts. He 
uses climatology, the study of past weather history, to make his predictions accurate. 
It is his memory which allows him to check the conditions in the morning and remember 
a day when similar conditions existed. He then studies the weather service map to find 
out where high and low pressure systems are located before releasing his forecast, 
which-- chances are--is an accurate one.

Unlike the National Weather Service, Dmytrack is not afraid to release his forecasts 
early. "I'm not worried about looking good or bad, because I'm just trying to predict 
the weather as accurately as I can," he said.

No one can predict the weather with lOO percent accuracy. Dmytrack recalls times 
when he predicted six to eight inches of snow and the next morning there was not 
a drop on the ground. "People tend to remember that one forecast you messed up on 
and forget about the two weeks straight when your forecasts were right on the money."

He hopes someday to become a professional weatherman. He spends more time watching 
and predicting the weather than he does watching or participating in sporting events. 
"My sport is weather, but it's also my career and profession at the same time," 
Dmytrack said.

Even though he may suffer a defeat by blowing a forecast, Dmytrack enjoys his sport 
very much. "There hasn't ever been a time when I didn't want to be a weatherman." ECHO

Tomorrow's forecast -- At KNEU, the campus radio station, sophomore Marty Dmytrack 
records his weather forecast. Although not a professional, Dmytrack predicts weather 
with amazing accuracy.

Weather man, weather map -- Carefully placing signs indicating cloudy skies on various 
parts of the U.S. map, Dmytrack prepares his forecast for "Campus View," the student 
TV news show.

The future in the palm of your hand
by Sondra Spencer
 

(Page 149)

Gardner

A soft thumb means an ability to make friends quickly. A firm thumb means 
reservation and difficulty in making friends.

Palm reading might tell a lot about a person. Some say it can predict the 
future, tell the past and reveal personality traits.

Shei-Whei Wang, a graduate student from Taiwan, said she possesses the 
ability to read palms. "Many people have come to me to have their palms 
read. Their future interests them."

Wang reads not only palms but also earlobes, eyebrows and chins. She said 
the shape and length of the earlobes tells "how well you treat your parents 
and if you make them worry. They also tell if you're a lucky person." The 
shape of the eyebrows tells how many children are in the family and how well 
a person concentrates on a problem. The chin is another indicator of how well 
one treats his parents. The configurations on the palms can change. Wang said, 
"What's read now may be different in six months. As your life changes so do 
your palms." She also said that the palms can tell the future, but the future 
is not definite because a person's life changes.

The face and palms, she said, "must always read each other. The face is important 
to read the future. It also tells if you are a lucky person or an unlucky person. 
The palms also are important for doing this."

Sophomore Diane Vogel said when she had her palm read she thought "it was kind of 
funny, but some of it applied. Some things you won't know until the future, but 
she seemed to know what she was talking about."

Janet Bradley, freshman, said, "Alice (Wang) is pretty neat. She was asking me if 
I worried a lot, and I do. She was also asking me if I had a lot of problems meeting 
boys and that's true too. I think it would be great to read people's future by 
reading palms."

Freshman Patty Westermann said, "I was shocked by what she had said. She said I had 
my first boyfriend when I was twelve or thirteen and that was true. She also said 
I worried a lot and that's true."

Wang said she learned palm reading when she was 15. She learned from books and a 
teacher with whom she learned and discussed the art. "My teacher was very smart. 
Many people came to him to have their futures read.

"My curiosity also caused me to learn, so I learned as much as I could of reading 
palms through books and my teacher," she said.

She believes in what she predicts. "What I indicate is very true." She said she is 
especially good at predicting when a person will be married because "I spent many 
years learning just that." ECHO

Wang learned the skill in Taiwan from an instructor, and practices regularly with 
interested students.

fresh crop of problems
 

(Page 151)

Changes are a major part of a person's life. A high school student 
entering the first year of college may find many responsibilities and 
differences.

Rookies found new study habits a switch from those of high school. 
Freshman Bill Koster said, "The amount I had to study (here) compared 
to the amount I did in my senior year was quite a change."

Teachers offered a challenge for freshman Sharon Landers. "It was hard 
to understand the instructors and their teaching methods," she said. 
"It was also hard to stay in band because at the beginning of the year 
I was out of shape. I'd never marched corps style before, and it's a lot 
tougher. I wore out easily, but I'm glad I stayed in because I love it."

A few new students had trouble finding their way around campus and wound up 
in the wrong classes.

Judy Carter, freshman, went to the wrong classes on the wrong day. "I'll 
never forget that. I felt so stupid. The instructor told the class that if 
any of us were in the wrong class to get up and leave, but I felt too dumb 
to even do that so I stayed." 

Freshman Judy Morrison found herself in an empty classroom the first week of 
school because she went on the wrong day. "I got up early thinking I was going 
at the right time," she said. "I found out it was the right time but the wrong 
day. I waited and waited and wondered why nobody showed up." 

Freshman Tracy Fletcher agreed it was hard to get used to new study habits 
and to finding her way around. "But I love the independence at school," she 
said. "I like being on my own." 

Koster said that a lot of responsibility was hard to adjust to. "Nobody told 
you what to do, so I had to find out everything on my own. I had to work out 
my own schedule and study without being told to. I had to get up on my own 
and go to classes and do the classwork. My mother used to be around to remind 
me to do everything or she made me do it, but now I have to do it without 
being told."

Landers said, "I do have a lot more independence. When I go home, my parents give 
me more freedom because they know I'm independent now. I really like not having 
deadlines because I have the freedom to operate on my own." Landers said although 
her parents still worry about her if she is out late, they do not say anything to 
her. "They know I can take care of myself now."

Another adjustment freshmen faced was eating. Mom's cooking proved to be tough 
competition for cafeteria food.

Koster said the food was tough to get used to but Landers said some of the food 
was basically good. "Home food is a lot better, but overall they don't do terribly 
bad job." she said. "They do have their off days. At high school you had no choice -- 
you ate or you starved. It's the same way here."

Some freshmen found it difficult to become accustomed to the size of the school, 
especially if they came from a small high school.

"It was pretty hard for me to get used to being around a lot of people because I 
graduated from a class of 28," Landers said.

Koster graduated from Danville, a high school of 200 students. "It's impersonal," 
he said. "At Danville, I knew everybody, and here, I don't know anyone. I feel like 
a small drop in a large bucket of water."

Loneliness was also a factor to students who did not have friends when they arrived. 
Freshman Ann DeRosear said, "I hated everything at first. I didn't like the school or 
college life. I hated homework and classes." DeRosear had been very involved in high 
school, and when she arrived at college she experienced a letdown. "I was very involved 
in high school, and here I'm not involved in anything. The only thing I liked was my 
roommate.

"At the beginning of the year, I was in an environment in which I knew very few people. 
It was hard to find friends to fill the gap of those I left behind. At first, I was very 
lonely, but eventually, I made new friends," DeRosear said.

Landers said, "I guess I wasn't really so much homesick as I was boyfriend sick, because 
I missed him so much."

Fletcher missed her parents. "I've really learned to appreciate my mom and dad and how 
much they've done for me. I miss them a lot."

Name, rank and number, please -- In the confusion of semester scheduling, upperclassmen 
check to make sure students do not sneak by out of turn. Freshmen pre-register on the 
last day and often find their classes closed.

The counselor is in -- Talking over a career choice, freshman counselor Elsie Gaber 
helps freshman Theresa Swan decide on a major. The choice of a major is one of the 
biggest problems that confronts each freshman.

Although DeRosear also felt separated from home, she said, "I finally figured out that 
I have to go (to college) so I might as well like it." ECHO

Ryle goes batty

The night creature spread his wings and flew through the unattended open door. 
Unobserved, he rested on the molding by the ceiling. Finally realizing he was 
trapped inside, he frantically tried to escape.

On the evening of Sept. 9, this small bat was spotted in the music lounge of 
Ryle Hall.

"I'd never come in contact with a bat before. It flew towards everybody and 
so fast. I was in shock before I was scared," Jerri Harris, senior, said.

In an attempt to get the bat out, five residents tried beating it with a broom. 
Apparently, the women received bewildered glances from people walking through 
the lounge. "It's funny to think about us running through the lounge chasing a 
fruit bat with a broom. Others tried to catch it in a bag. But that didn't work 
either," Lynn Chambers, graduate student, said.

Another method of attempting to catch the bat was to stand quietly. This was done 
so the bat would stay in one place, making it easier to catch. Senior Marie Walczak 
said, "Someone told us to turn off the lights so we could catch him. That was really 
funny to see people running around in the dark chasing after something they couldn't 
even see."

Nevertheless, some did not appreciate the bat's visit. Chambers said, "I'd have just 
as soon killed it." ECHO

Just hanging around -- This small, furry bat sees the world from a different view as 
he rests on an outside wall of the A/H Building on the same day Vincent Price visited 
campus.

The name is the same
by Carla Robinson

Within hours of the birth of each child, every parent must choose the name 
that the child will carry throughout his life. Some name their child after 
friends, relatives or saints.

If the child is a girl, she will probably change her last name when she 
marries. One woman's father took this into consideration. He named his 
first daughter Heidi so she could carry her last name throughout life. 
Junior Heidi Hidy's name was decided by her father when he was in high 
school. Realizing the determination of her husband, his wife agreed to 
the name.

Her relatives did not say much, Hidy said, but her grandmother did not 
like it.

Having a name like Heidi Hidy did not bother her until she entered school
"I didn't realize it wasn't common until then." From that time on she has 
suffered laughter and disbelief each time someone introduces her.

The first time Hidy recalls anyone disbelieving her name was during an English 
class in the eighth grade. "We had a substitute for English that day. It was 
after a holiday." As part of the classwork each student gave their name and 
told what they did over the vacation. The substitute received answers such as, 
"My name is George Washington and I crossed the Delaware over break." By the 
time Hidy stood up to tell about her vacation, the teacher was fed up with 
the smart-aleck responses.

As soon as Hidy said her name, the teacher told her to go to the principal's 
office.

During her Girl Scout years, Hidy told the troop leader her name. "She thought 
I was handicapped because I did not know my name."

Hidy finds confusion everywhere her name is said. Calling collect on a pay phone 
takes her 20 minutes longer than anyone else. "She'll (the operator) ask for my 
name and I'll say, 'Hidy.' Then she'll ask for my first name and I'll say, 'Heidi.' 
Then she'll say, 'No, honey, your first name.' I'll say, 'Heidi' and then she'll 
ask, 'Then what's your last name?' and so on."

In reaction to her name, people ask her, "Are you sure?" or, "How did you get a 
name like that?" Hidy said.

"I know when I tell people my name I'll get a reaction," Hidy said. Many people 
have enjoyed a laugh at her expense. She has an advantage, though: no one 
forgets her.

Hidy sees a funny possibility in the future. She says a cousin teases her that she 
will marry a man with the last name of Ho, such as Hawaiian singer Don Ho. "Could 
you imagine?" Hidy said. "My name would be Heidi Hidy Ho." 

Not everyone could handle a name that could be considered a joke. "I learned early 
to take life with a smile," Hidy said. "You have to be capable of laughing at 
yourself with other people." ECHO

Heidi says "Hi" -- During a pro lab session, junior Heidi Hidy breaks for a while 
to talk with a fellow student. Hidy, as an elementary education major, is required 
to take the methods class.

Give and take

For some, Christmas is the time of giving. Christmas can become a time 
of taking.

One sophomore stole his Christmas trees in 1979 with two other friends 
at Thousand Hills State Park. They cut the tops off of two larger trees, 
using one tree in their room and the other as the residence hall tree. 
"We had fun doing it. It was really a good time. I'd seen the trees out 
at the park before and thought they looked like good Christmas trees, so 
I decided to take them. The only hard part was walking through all the 
tall weeds," he said.

He and his friends cut the trees down in broad day light. They were armed 
with only a sharp hand saw and a quick getaway car.

The stolen tree proved to be a lot of fun after it was brought back to its 
new home in Missouri Hall. "It was really great because it brought our hall 
closer together," he said. "Everyone pitched in to help decorate. We had 
Skoal can decorations and popcorn chains. We even made an aluminum star to 
put on top. It was really a sharp tree and everybody was really proud of it. 
The only things we bought were the lights."

This year, Missouri Hall received $20 towards the purchase of a Christmas tree. 
As a result, this man and his friends could obtain their tree legally. ECHO

Oh Christmas tree -- Looking over Christmas trees at Harmon's I.G.A., juniors Chuck 
Clayton and Dan Zerbonia debate over prices. Prices for trees ran from $10 to $30.

A step in a new direction

Modern dance is a way of expressing body movements to music. As part of 
the one-credit class, Modern Dance, students practice in the women's gym 
in Pershing, fitting their steps together. Students are graded on their 
advancement in dance rather than their beginning level skills.

Students who take glasses and other items from the residence hall cafeterias 
may be biting the hand that feeds them. Bruce Harper, manager of American Food 
Management, said the money lost to pilferers is reflected in the quality of 
food served in the dorms.

Printed on a sign in Ryle Hall cafeteria is, "If you sit down and there are no 
salt and pepper shakers, try looking in your neighbor's room." Reminders, 
appeals, and threats of this type have been largely ineffective in curbing 
the number of dishes, glasses, and silverware that is stolen from the cafeterias 
each year.

Sophomore Ron Essenberg took four or five glasses from the cafeteria to replenish 
his dwindling supply. "They've got to expect to lose a few things when they're 
dealing with a lot of students. I just didn't consider the cost to AFM when I 
took the glasses."

Harper said that after the 1979-1980 school year ended, AFM spent $12,000 replenishing 
their necessary stock of dishes and silverware. He estimated that 35-45 percent of 
missing supplies were gone due to breakage. The rest could be attributed to pilferage, 
Harper said.

"We pay about 30 cents each for glasses, 25 cents each for silverware and $27.13 per 
dozen for bowls," Harper said.

At these prices, to stock up for this year, AFM ordered 5,000 glasses, 360 dozen spoons, 
360 dozen forks, 300 dozen knives and more, "All of which will be gone by next May 15," 
Harper said.

Harper said glasses are the most popular items to take from the cafeterias. Silverware is 
also a hot item to students who move into their first apartment and need to stock up on 
kitchen supplies.

Off-campus student, senior Ed Savoldi, said, "I took a few glasses, a bowl and some 
silverware. I didn't really think anyone would miss a few things."

Sophomore Gary Wright took more expensive items in addition to several glasses. He took 
a cafeteria tray "Getting the tray out was a major operation," he said. "I had to sneak 
it out under a trench coat. I'll try to remember to take the things back at the end of 
the year."

AFM receives only $2.34 a day per person on the room and board program Harper said. When 
the amount of loss due to breakage and pilferage goes up, it offsets the amount AFM receives 
for each person. Harper said without the large financial loss due to pilferage, AFM could 
provide two or three more specials such as steak night each year.

Although one student who takes two or three glasses and a spoon is not going to cause AFM 
to go bankrupt, it is the masses of students who take a fork here and a bowl there that 
bring about financial problems.

Sophomore Lauren Hewitt did not realize the cost to AFM when she took some silverware. 
"I was running low on silverware at home," she said. "I guess I wouldn't have taken it 
if I had known about the expense." ECHO

"I just didn't consider the cost to AFM when I took the glasses"
-- Ron Essenberg

Making life sweeter -- This is one student who has cafeteria items in her room. 
Many borrow items with the intention of returning them at the end of the year.

Two of a kind 
by Carla Robinson 

There is something unusual about Room 412 Dobson Hall. No matter when a 
person calls, if the phone is answered, Kurt is there.

It would seem that this man is a dull type, being in his room so much.
Whenever someone calls and asks for Kurt, the voice will always answer,
"This is he."

During the first week of school, Kurt stopped by to pick up his packet, 
which included forms to sign for a BEOG grant. After he had signed most 
of the forms and was halfway through reading the rest, he realized the 
packet and BEOG forms were his roommate's.

Both of the men are named Kurt. Now when people call, they call freshman 
Curt by his full name: Curtis, Kurt, the junior, said. This still is not 
the answer to all their problems.

Whether the Housing Office did it as a joke or whether it is a coincidence 
is unknown. The two are not related, but both are named Kurt (Curt) 
Clevenger. ECHO

Double take -- Junior Kurt Clevenger and freshman Curt Clevenger share berths 
on the wrestling team as well as a room in Dobson Hall. Although their weight 
classes are different, their phone number is the same.

After a long, strenuous day of going to classes, a student exits the halls 
of the University and wearily makes his way home. Slowly he climbs the stairs, 
walks down the hall, and opens his door as he prepares to relax from the many 
rigors of his day. Before unwinding, he goes straight to the calendar above his 
desk, fumbles for a pen and, with a sigh of relief, crosses off another day. For 
many students, making this little 'x' is a means of emotional survival.

Tom Grebel, freshman, said, "Crossing off the days give me motivation because I 
know I survived one more day. The rest of the week can't be that bad." 

Grebel started marking his calendar regularly this year and thinks that it has 
become a habit that helps him keep organized. He marks appointments, tests, 
vacations and other days that have "special significance." He said, "I do this 
mostly so I know how much time I can waste in between things."

In addition, Grebel sometimes marks his biorhythms, which he does not really 
believe in but does out of curiosity. "I only mark my good days. Psychologically 
it lifts me if I see I have a good day coming up," he said.

Other than those special days, the days he looks forward to most are weekends. 
Those days he does not mark off until Monday morning because he feels they go 
too fast if he does. Weekends that he really looks forward to are those when he 
goes home or goes to the bars in Iowa. He find himself counting down to the 
special days when he can forget school and classes and just relax and have a 
good time.

Senior Karla Carver said, "Counting down puts people in better moods. It reminds 
me that despite classes, homework and tests, I still have something to look forward 
to." Carver pledged Sigma Kappa sorority in the spring of 1979 and still has her 
countdown sheet to Spring Formal. She not only counted the days, but the exact number 
of hours, minutes and seconds.

"As soon as Christmas Formal is ended, a sign usually goes up on the chapter room door 
saying how many days it is until Spring Formal," she said. "In the middle of September, 
we had a sheet up telling how many days it was until summer vacation. It's a never-ending 
process." ECHO

Scripting his Success
by Jenny Jeffries

While most college students spend their time waiting to graduate so 
they can start fulfilling their dreams, junior Steve Paulding has 
already started making a dream come true.

Paulding said, "The dream of every theater major is to become famous." 
He made a definite step in the right direction. His big break came in 
May 1980. He submitted a screenplay, which he wrote, to Columbia Pictures, 
where it was accepted and is currently being evaluated.

The screenplay, "Someone to Look Forward To," is about a 21-year-old man 
whose parents have recently been killed and a young woman recently divorced. 
The man does his student teaching under her supervision, and the two develop 
a relationship. The third character, a third-grade boy, gets jealous of the 
man's relationship with his teacher.

The story is based on an idea that he got while he was driving. Since he was 
not always motivated to work, it took two years to complete. Paulding said he 
has an active imagination, and currently has about 10 other ideas for plays. 
"I'd like to start sorting them (the ideas) out and begin work on at least 
one of them."

"Someone to Look Forward To" is Paulding's first screenplay and he considers 
himself fortunate because Columbia has expressed so much interest in it.

A friend who read the script told Paulding to send it to the Writers' Guild. 
There it was assigned to an agent who submitted it to Columbia. Although he 
has not received any money, he has signed letters of release that deal with 
money, copyrights and liability.

Despite the fact that he has not received monetary rewards, Paulding has been 
given the chance for other opportunities that probably would not have happened 
before the screenplay. He was on KTVO after reporters came and interviewed him 
in his living room. When Columbia called him, they discussed possible stars who 
could play the roles in the movie. They suggested Jill Clayburgh for the part 
of the divorced teacher. She is one of his favorite actresses.

An interesting reward for his script was in the form of an invitation, which he 
accepted.This was to attend the Academy Awards March 30 as the guest of Paramount 
Pictures. He said he will get the royal treatment, complete with the traditional 
ride to the awards in the black limousine.

"I can't wait until the awards. Movies are my hobby. Well, I guess you could say 
they're more like an obsession with me. I'll drive to St. Louis, Dubuque (Iowa), 
Iowa City (Iowa), or Columbia to see a movie because I just can't wait until they 
come to Kirksville," he said.

Paulding, who worked at the Kennedy Theater for six years, used to sit and watch 
movies over and over again. He observed patterns which he said have helped him with 
his writing. "A lot of people would have been bored with that, but not me. I loved it."

Since he has been in college his work with movies has continued. He does all of the 
advertising and public relations for campus movies sponsored by Alpha Psi Omega 
honorary drama fraternity.

In addition, his obsession with movies and his dreams to become famous have brought 
one of his lifetime goals into sharper focus. "My ultimate goal, the biggie, is to 
win an Academy Award," Paulding said. ECHO

Friendly abduction
by Sondra Spencer

This year there has been an outbreak of kidnappings on campus. These 
are not typical kidnappings, although they often involve struggling, 
violence, screaming and protests.

As early as two, three or four in the morning it is not unusual to be 
roused by the sound of people pounding on doors or screaming as the 
kidnappers awaken their victim.

It is becoming a tradition, especially in Ryle Hall, to kidnap people on or 
around their birthdays. This involves waking the intended victim up and 
taking her out to Country Kitchen in her pajamas. Then the kidnappers and 
other friends sing "Happy Birthday" and give the honored guest a sweet roll 
with a candle on it, presents and breakfast.

Sophomore Teresa Willhite remembers her experience. "They warned me of it 
(the kidnapping) before it happened. They said it would be sometime within 
that week or ten days around my birthday, but it happened when I least 
expected it," she said.

Juniors Jenenne Davis, Marge Fichera and Debbie Votsmier were responsible for 
Willhite's kidnapping. Willhite said, "They came busting into the room and tried 
to drag me out of my (bunk) bed. I wedged one leg behind the bed and held on with 
my arm around the bedpost. I told them I wouldn't go without my robe."

They finally gave her the robe, but would not let her put it on. Then, they dragged 
her out into the hall. "I punched the RA (Davis)," she said, smiling.

"I tried to grab her arm, but I ended up knocking her glasses off and punching her 
right in the eye," Willhite said. Other injuries also occurred.

"I think she dislocated my arm," Votsmier said. "It was rather painful."

Next, they took her to the parking lot, Willhite said. "Once we got in the car they 
kept saying they were going to take me to the lake because they wanted to see me 
walk on water. I didn't know what they were talking about. Instead they took me 
out to theCountry Kitchen and started acting like they didn't even know me."

Davis said, "All we said was 'You really ought to put some clothes on next time you 
come out here."

Gale Jackson, freshman, remembers when she was kidnapped at two in the morning on her 
birthday. "They had been giving me trouble all day. When I had finally gotten to bed 
and was trying to sleep, the next thing I knew they were carrying me down the stairs," 
she said.

Sophomore Cecelia Roark and junior Barb Ryan said they had been planning the kidnapping 
for a couple of weeks. "She (Jackson) screamed all the way down the stairs. I think we 
woke everybody up," Roark said.

On the way out to the car they passed a Safety and Security patrol officer. In response 
to Jackson's pleas for help all he did was laugh, Ryan said.

On the way back from Country Kitchen, they ran into the same officer. Jackson said, 
"I yelled at him and asked him, 'Why didn't you help me? You're supposed to help 
people!' All he did was laugh and tell them (Roark and Ryan), 'Good job.'" 

Senior Jerri Harris said about her kidnapping, "That was bad. I didn't want to go. I 
kept telling them 'Ah, you guys, no. I don't want to go.' They took me out to Country 
Kitchen anyway, at 2 a.m. Then on the way back they stopped off by the fountain and 
threw me in. There I was sitting in the fountain and Safety and Security showed up 
and everybody else left. Safety and Security followed me all the way back to Ryle 
where everybody else was already back in bed. And there I was, freezing to death."

Harris said she thought the whole idea of kidnapping people was a take-off from weddings, 
when they kidnap the people on the night before the wedding.

Junior Cheryl Hash said, "RAs used to do it, and still do. It's a tradition for their 
initiation into the job."

After the kidnapping Willhite said, "It was an experience. I can't wait for one of 
their birthdays." ECHO

Grand entrance -- Kidnap victim Karen Turnbough enters Country Kitchens with the friends 
who initiated her into her duties as an RA. Part of the embarrassment of kidnapping 
is arriving in pajamas.

Helping hands -- Jenenne Davis, junior, helps Kris Macy, sophomore, into a robe 
before the group leaves for Country Kitchen. Kidnapping was popular in 
initiations and celebrating birthdays.

To the beat of a different strummer

Professional musician Michiko Kawashima, freshman, plays an instrument 
only women and blind men play.

Kawashima has been a professional musician since the age of 12. She first 
appeared on Japanese television at eight years old to perform with her 
instrument, the koto. The koto is an instrument made of pawlonia wood and 
is approximately six feet long and has 13 strings.

In Japan, it is a tradition that only women and blind men can play this 
instrument. "Women and blind men can make nice sounds," Kawashima said. 
"The blind men can't see the notation but their hearing is good."

She appeared on television and was heard on the radio in Japan. Sometimes 
she would perform with a group and sometimes by herself. She performed on 
educational T.V. and radio, and she performed twice a year in large public 
auditoriums.

As a child, Kawashima was urged to play the instrument by her parents.

She took lessons from four different professional musicians, one of whom would 
hit her hands when she made a mistake. "It made me feel bad, but he was right; 
I had made a mistake. He (the teacher) told me that if necessary I could cut 
off my sleeping time to practice." She was required to practice seven hours a 
day and she still does. "Sometimes, of course, I thought I would just change my 
mind about being a professional musician, but I tried not to think of it that way," 
Kawashima said. "My parents told me not to quit until you get a certificate (to 
play professionally). I didn't have time to play with my friends."

In order to become a professional, she had to audition before a musical association 
and receive a certificate from them.

Kawashima was previously a senior at Tokyo Artist's National University. A good friend 
had graduated from NMSU and recommended it to her.

She came to learn modern music, classical music and jazz, as well as to learn western 
music theory, history and technique. "It's very different from traditional Japanese 
music," she said.

Michelle Reinsch, junior, saw Kawashima perform during International Night. "I enjoyed 
the performance," she said. "The instrument gets a real high tune."

The instrument is delicate. Its strings are raised from the instrument with ivory 
bridges. Kawashima uses plastic strings to practice because the silk strings she 
performs with are expensive. The silk strings can only be used once because they 
stretch and break easily, she said. Therefore before each performance, she must 
replace the strings. "It takes me three hours to change the strings." 

Kawashima plans to play professionally in the United States after she receives her 
master's degree in music. She has performed in Hawaii, Guam, Europe, Australia and 
Africa. ECHO

All strung up -- Wearing three finger picks freshman Michiko Kawashima plucks her 
six-foot instrument, called a koto. Kawashima has played the koto since she was 
three years old, when she learned in her home, Tokyo, Japan.

What a thing to pick -- In her Centennial Hall room, freshman Michiko Kawashima 
plays a 13-string koto for relaxation and for her profession. She is a music 
major and plans to become a professional musician after graduation.

A study in culture
by Ellen Wand 

Imagine yourself thousands of miles from home, surrounded by an unknown 
culture and language. Adapting would be difficult, but three students, 
among others, did break the barrier.

Betty Schmidt, graduate student and director of Blanton-Nason Hall, went 
through the student exchange program offered by the University of Wisconsin 
at Stevens Point. "Studying abroad was a new experience plus a challenge," 
she said.

After completing her four-month trip abroad in December of 1979, she had 
toured a total of seven different countries in Europe. "When I went over, 
the only language I could speak was | Latin, and that's a language you can 
only apply rather than speak."

Even though the language barrier J existed, Schmidt found the people to be 
friendly and hospitable. "They I would invite us, complete strangers, into 
their homes."

Schmidt's theory on Italians proved to be right. "I had heard the Italian 
men were flirtish and aggressive, and they were. You could be walking down 
the street and if you were wearing shorts or had blond hair the men would 
actually poke you."

One of the most amazing differences Schmidt found was the number of years 
involved in the history. "The fact that some of the buildings you saw were 
built in 300 B.C. was something, because in America nothing is over 200 years 
old."

Freshman Dan Overpeck made his trip to Guatemala City, Guatemala, during the 
1979 summer vacation. He helped with construction at the Agua Viva (living 
water) Children's Orphanage.

After a hard day of work, Overpeck sometimes helped feed the younger babies. 
"I think the things I miss most of all are the kids and giving the babies 
their 11 p.m. feeding."

Overpeck expected the Guatemalans to be like the stereotype of Mexicans.
"I imagined the people eating tacos and taking siestas."

Even though Guatemalans did not consider tacos a product of their culture, 
corn, flour tortillas, beans and rice were popular. A common dessert was made 
from a banana and refried beans.

Since most Guatemalans have dark hair and skin, seeing a blond American was a 
new experience for them.

"The kids were amazed by my blond hair. Sometimes they would run up, touch it, 
and then run away," Overpeck said.

Lynne Preisack, freshman, was in France for two months. In March 1979, along 
with 50 other students, she went overseas through a program called Intercultural 
Student Experiences. "It was not really long enough to be as educational as I 
would have liked it to be. That's why I want to go back." 

Preisack had taken some French classes while in high school so she did not have 
as great a language problem as some. Two years of French instruction was a 
requirement for the trip. In addition, those who went signed a pledge to speak 
only French.

"Of course we made mistakes, but I think I learned more that way. When you learn 
French in a classroom it's in a more proper fashion," Preisack said.

She found the French to be openly affectionate. "The young people were more friendly 
towards each other, more open. They would kiss you on your cheek and then put their 
cheek out (to be kissed). It was a typical greeting. They touched each other a lot 
more than we do here."

In spite of differences, these students enjoyed their trips. Schmidt said, "They 
didn't question our values such as we question the foreigners who come here." ECHO

Worldly goods -- Freshman Lynne Preisack wears a T-shirt with French lettering and 
a French tourist attraction printed on it. Preisack stayed in France for two months 
in 1979.

Victim of violence

The car is parked under a bright streetlight in a residential area. Inside the 
car he roughly pushes her down again. As she struggles, he hits her. They wrestle 
some more and she is hit again and again. The horn is honked a few times. She is 
finally able to get out of the car, and yells "Fire." No one seems to hear and 
she is forced back into the car.

Over Christmas break, junior Cheryl A. Johnson of Kansas City was the victim of 
an assault. "It doesn't bother me to talk about it. I want people to be more 
careful. Learn how to protect yourself--male or female."

At a bar that evening, Johnson's boyfriend introduced the assailant as a friend 
of his. So when he needed a ride, she offered to take him to his house. He 
"seemed nice.

"It never occured to me that something could happen," she said. She remembers 
fending off advances he had made earlier, telling him about her boyfriend and 
that she was not interested. He had seemed to accept that.

The man directed her to an area of the city she was unfamiliar with. He was drunk 
and said he had popped a Quaalude, so when they finally arrived at a dead-end, 
Johnson became irritated.

He then directed her to a residential area and told her to pull over. That was where 
the assault took place, Johnson said. Afterwards, she made it to her boyfriend's 
house and was taken to the hospital.

Later, she was told her assailant had beaten two other women. "I thought that if I 
didn't do something, he might try it again, maybe to someone who was younger. And 
maybe his next victim wouldn't be as lucky as I was." She reported the beating to 
the police.

Johnson suffered two black eyes, a swollen lip and bruises. "I almost didn't come 
back. I thought people would laugh at my face, but I had a positive attitude toward 
school and my sorority. I though people would act differently toward me, but they 
didn't. People stuck by me, sympathized with me and encouraged me. I still think 
about it, but I don't want it to bother me.

"I can put it out of my mind during the day by being active, but I think about it 
at night. Things like, 'I could have done this,' He could have done that,' 'Will 
he come back again?"

Johnson had attended rape awareness programs earlier. "The things I learned popped 
into my mind, like 'Yell fire, not rape.'"

About her attacker, she said, "I don't hate him, I think he's sick. It happened; 
I'm alive; I can't bring myself to hate him. I hope he gets help. People have to 
realize that there are sick people out there. Everyone, especially women, should 
be more careful.

"I feel proud of myself and confident in me. I can do it. If I can survive this, I 
can get through anything." ECHO

Games people play
 

(Page 183)

The player rolls an eight-sided die. Ten hit points off. He groans, 
thinking his character doomed. But wait, his companion casts a ray of 
enfeeblement on the zombie that threatens to strangle the brave warrior. 
The zombie wilts away, and the fighter emerges triumphant.

This scenario is an example of the adventures experienced while playing 
the fad game, Dungeons and Dragons. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson wrote the 
first set of rules, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkein's popular "Lord of the Rings" 
trilogy. The game has grown in popularity during the last 10 years.

"It's a game of imagination and role playing," said freshman Doug Ferguson, 
who got involved with Dungeons and Dragons in high school. "The players can 
be any kind of characters they want to." The object of the game is to gain 
imaginary money or treasure.

A player known as the dungeon master is the referee of a make-believe world 
which he is allowed to create. "The dungeon master places us (the characters) 
in a particular location and we must decide where to go."

Dungeons and Dragons resurrects medieval tales, when men wore armor and fought 
monsters. Other characters the players can act out are magic users, halflings, 
monks or elves. Usually five or six players participate, and their characters 
must stay together as they go adventuring.

At bare minimum the game requires no board or playing pieces. "All you really 
need is a die, pencil, a piece of paper and your imagination," Ferguson said. 
More advanced players sometimes used one-inch figures for visualization. "I've 
been collecting and painting miniatures lately to use in the game, but they're 
not really necessary."

Players can be any character they wish, from a lawful magic user to a chaotic 
thief, depending on the roll of the die, which controls the game.

"The dungeon master creates the whole environment that the characters live in," 
Ferguson said. "He can put obstacles in their way, like sending monsters to 
attack or having a thief steal someone's money."

Senior Scott Thorne wanted to be a dungeon master because "I get a kick out of 
it," he said. Thorne has played Dungeons and Dragons for about a year and a half. 
"A dungeon master has to have a good imagination and be a good actor. I create 
the scenes that the characters live in, and a also act out all the characters 
they encounter."

Characters usually start out at an inn, which is their headquarters. For example, 
six players started out at an inn called the Bouncing Balrog, named after a balrog, 
or winged monster, which was posed on the mantle of the fireplace. From the inn, 
they made plans of quest for treasure.

The dungeon master creates a dungeon in each adventure where the

Little folks -- Painted miniature figures are used to represent characters on 
a graph sheet marking the terrain. These are optional to play the game.

Games (cont'd.)

characters hunt for treasure. They face danger in the form of balrogs, 
goblins, wolves or banshees, all played by the dungeon master.

Characters must defend themselves according to the various strengths and 
supplies they have rolled on the dice.

The players give their characters their own personalities, although the 
dice determines their physical traits.

Sophomore Cheryl McKearney rolled a human character she called Disco Tim. 
"Disco Tim really gets into music," she said. There was a jukebox at the 
Bouncing Balrog and he kept playing the song "Another Ore (One) Bites 
the Dust."

Although Disco Tim was a human character, freshman Jeff Legg rolled a 
character no one understands. He calls the character Triod the Terrible.
"We're not really sure what or who Triod is," he said. "He's about five 
feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. He's a slimy character, and nobody really 
trusts him. He's always sneaking up behind someone."

Thorne said, "When the characters are down in a dungeon, they never know what 
to expect. It's a lot of guesswork on their part. If they encounter a chest 
with articles of clothing, they try on each article with the hope of magic. 
A pair of boots might possess the ability to leap over tall mountains, but 
the characters might not discover the fact until they come upon a battle 
situation." 

Advanced players have their handbooks they consult for guidance: "The Dungeon 
Master's Guide," "The Player's Handbook" and "The Monster Manuel." Players 
abide by the basic rules but are free to use their imagination to determine 
their destiny.

"The game gets to be an obsession," Ferguson said. "Once you get involved in 
it, you get immersed deeper and deeper into your character. It's really a bummer 
when he gets killed." Ferguson's character, Bartas Butterfingers, was killed by 
an exploding wizard's book. "The wizard had inserted explosive runes in the book, 
and Bartas didn't even think about it. So he got killed and I had to roll another 
character."

The dungeon master is in charge of all of the characters' moves and the numerous 
scene changes they encounter. "In one game, I can play my own character plus the 
creatures the party comes in contact with," Thorne said. "There's a lot of details 
to keep in mind, so I take notes and listings, draw maps and take down the design 
of a village.

While the 20th century provides little opportunity for someone to kill a goblin or 
a wolf, Dungeons and Dragons offers the chance for anyone to decapitate a goblin or 
strike down a zombie. ECHO

Next move - Dungeon master Scott Thorne, junior, tells freshmen Doug Ferguson and 
Paul Camp the next situations they will encounter.

Crash course
by Chris Schlorke

Smashing up cars is not just a game kids play; for some students it is 
also a way to learn. The Emergency Medical Technician class had the 
chance to play demolition derby with partly demolished cars furnished 
by local merchants as part of an extrication seminar.

A mock accident involving three cars was staged in Violette Hall parking 
lot on Nov. 22 as part of the seminar. The "crash" and the rest of the 12 
hour seminar were put on by the three EMT instructors with the cooperation 
of the Kirksville police and fire departments, and the fire training 
division from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Rick Walker, a paramedic at the Kirksville Osteopathic Health Center and 
primary instructor of the EMT class, said the class was divided into three 
main groups for the demonstration: paramedics, extrication people, and 
victims.

Another EMT instructor and KOHC paramedic, Kent McNutt, said the seminar gave 
the students the chance to practice getting victims out of wrecks.

The students who worked as technicians in the exercise did everything from 
applying traction and putting on cervical collars to covering mock patients 
with aluminized blankets to protect them from burning metal.

"The purpose was to give them (students) the first-hand experience of freeing 
trapped people in as realistic a setting as possible," McNutt said.

Even though the situation was as much like an actual accident as possible, the 
setting was still under control. "We had the fire department

Crash course contd.

there because some of the cars still had gas in them and had to be hosed 
down. We turned one of the cars upside down, and placed the "victims" 
inside in different positions and the extrication people had to get them out." 

McNutt stressed the fact that extrication is removing the car from the patient 
instead of the patient from the car. The students acting as rescue workers used 
different tools to rip the cars apart, allowing the paramedics to crawl inside 
and administer aid to the patients, McNutt said.

Walker estimated the cost of one large tool kit, including hydraulic pumps, 
drills and high stress steel chains, to be more than $1,500.

Junior Robin Rhodes was the captain of a paramedic team during the mock 
accident. She said her class was shown how to remove windshields in one 
piece, to cut and bend steering wheels away from patients, to loosen 
jammed doors, to stabilize a car on its side and to get inside cars on 
their sides. "The most important thing I learned was to analyze the 
situation, remain calm and do the best you can working as fast as you 
can with equipment you have," she said.

Junior Kathy Schuman was also on the paramedic team. "The first thing they 
want to do is get a paramedic in the car to find out the seriousness of the 
accident and the conditions of the patients. If we had no way of getting in, 
the extrication crew would pop out a window and jam the front seat up out of 
the way so we could get in and stabilize the people."

Schuman described the situation in one of the vehicles. "The car had six victims. 
I got in and checked everyone's pulse. My job after getting inside was to decide 
who had to get out first. One guy in the front seat pretended to have a neck 
injury, so one of the medics applied traction and put on a cervical collar. But 
his neck was broken and he died."

The hardest part of being on a paramedic team is that everyone thinks he knows 
the best way to do things, Shuman said.

A member of an extrication team, sophomore Curtis Roof, said the extrication 
procedures were "entirely new to us." He said the class tore up six cars during 
the morning, leaving three for the mock accident in the afternoon.

Roof said his team cut a hole in the bottom of the overturned car and pulled the 
steering wheel out with a piece of equipment called a come-along. "There was one 
guy stuck up so far under the dash it looked like he'd almost had to have been in 
an accident to get there."

Some of the machines they used required a lot of strength, he said.

Roof also said it was hard to stand back and watch the medics work on the patients. 
"We wanted to jump in and help them because we were used to working together in 
class, but in this our job was to gain access to the patients and then let the 
paramedics treat the victims."

Instructors McNutt, Walker, and Steve Gasparovich acted as bystanders at the scene 
of an accident. McNutt said, "We gave the students a hard time as bystanders. People 
usually don't know what to do or what's going on but they want to help and end up 
hurting the patient. Sometimes it doesn't help to tell them you'll take it from 
here; they don't get the hint. Sometimes you have to be very firm to keep people 
who don't know what they're doing from messing things up." ECHO

Steve Vanderpol, fall semester graduate student majoring in industrial arts, 
works on the weight machine in Pershing Gym. This year, approximately 136 
graduate students received degrees as compared to last year's 96. Increased 
enrollment could be due to the economy or more extensive recruiting, said 
Lydia Inman, dean of graduate studies.

Returning to Kirksville after making it big in the art world, Bartel stages a

Comeback
 

(Page 195)

The Art Gallery in Baldwin Hall was filled with candelabra, vases 
and three-dimensional wall hangings.

Marvin Bartel, the creator of these works, was a former sculpting teacher 
who taught in the art department before leaving for Goshen, Ind., to 
continue his teaching career. He is now well established in the art world 
and his works were for sale in the Art Gallery.

Bartel is never thoroughly satisfied with his work. "My best piece has not 
been made yet," he said. "Every time I get through with one piece, I get a 
better idea for another one. When I make my best piece, well, that's when 
I'm through, because my artistic talent will be used up." ECHO

Handle with care -- Freshman Nancy Shaw takes a closer look at the set of 
containers that was part of the Marvin Bartel Art Exhibit All of the articles 
on display were three-dimensional.

Anyone home? -- Another unusual sculpture done by Marvin Bartel catches the 
interest of Tina Day, freshman. Bartel's art exhibit was shown on campus in 
November in the Art Gallery of Baldwin Hall.

Do re mi dog
by Carla Robinson

He was born and raised in Hawaii, and is retired. He has traveled the 
world over in a 747 jet airplane. He is of medium height for his kind 
and has bright, intelligent brown eyes. His hair is brown and does not 
hide his rather large ears.

Many people on campus know him, and many have attended classes with him. 
He does not takes classes for credit, but has audited Oceanography, Energy 
and Earth Science. E. C. Jones, assistant professor of science, finally 
kicked him out of Earth Science for snoring during a lecture.

It has been said that he is a snob and looks down his long nose at those of 
a lesser degree. He is of an impressive lineage.

Nearly every day he takes walks with Jones around campus. Although he does 
not get along well with other males, he has a liking for women.

Rabbit hunting used to be a favorite pasttime, but because he has grown older 
and his hunting companion died, he is not interested in hunting anymore.

Those who know him say he hates to be left alone, especially since the death 
of his close companion, a dachshund named Punky.

Many have enjoyed listening to him sing, which he does only when accompanied 
by Jones. He sings only one song, in an off-key tone. The melody is attention-
getting, but has no words.

It was discovered he could sing when he was six months old. When he was young 
he used to sing a lot; now he sings only when asked. Jones said that he 
especially likes singing to women, who in turn make a fuss over him. At 
other times he sings for emotional release.

His name is Brownie, and he is Jones' nine-year-old pedigreed beagle. ECHO

Academics

Student Lecture - for people who need help on a chemistry test,
sophomore Lisa Metz holds weekly tutoring sessions in Violette Hall 
individual and group tutoring is available to those who need it.

The choices were academic. We chose to take classes under administrators 
with little background in teaching, or lose necessary credit. When we 
had a problem with classes, we could turn to tutors for help or to 
advisers for advice. Independent speech became a center of controversy
when students in some divisions were not allowed to take it to fulfill 
the speech requirements. On the other hand, many expressed dissatisfaction 
at being required to attend Library Resources classes. Some of us chose 
classes for our own enjoyment while others chose careers either uncommon or not 
usually associated with their sex. Our choices ranged from learning a foreign 
language to getting to class on time. But whatever the decision, it was 
always AN INSTRUCTIVE CHOICE.

Student tutors
by Melanie Mendelson

Bare feet and open minds -- Laying her shoes aside and resting 
a stockinged foot on a desk, Lisa Metz points out a step in 
solving chemistry word problems. Metz is a pre-med/chemistry 
major who tutors weekly sessions in Science Hall.

Students can sit for hours with a textbook in front of them or 
listen intently to lectures, but they might not always comprehend 
the material.

Tutoring sessions and individual tutors are available in every academic 
field. Most tutors are fellow students.

Lisa Metz, sophomore, is paid through the Science Division to tutor Basic 
Chemistry I and II.

"It helps me to learn everything really well," Metz said. "I have to know 
the material well enough to explain it."

Metz tutors five to six hours a week and holds group study sessions in 
Science Hall, as well as helping students on a one-to-one basis.

"My regular study sessions have mostly the same people, and the class 
averages about 15," Metz said. "But one time, I had a session to study 
for a chemistry test and there were 35 people in it."

Junior Don Smith voluntarily tutors math majors and does not get paid for 
his services. "I tutor whomever's taking calculus," he said. "There's a 
tutor session set up in Violette Hall and the math fraternity, Kappa Mu 
Epsilon, volunteered me to help."

The Writing Skills Lab hired four tutors to help students with grammar, 
spelling and other writing problems. Liz Onik, junior, tutors an average 
of 14 students a week on a 10-hour work schedule. "I get a lot of experience 
because someday I'm going to be a teacher," she said. "I get insight into 
problems people have in writing and at the same time I improve my own writing.

"Pro-Lab students are referred to us a lot because of the writing test they 
have to take on the first day of class," Onik said. "But surprisingly, a lot 
of students also come in by themselves."

Tutors are either recommended by teachers or news travels by word of mouth. 
"I tutored a high school student in Algebra II," Smith said. "They heard I 
tutored and came to me. I just tell them what I know and they try to apply 
it." In chemistry and physics he helps students work out problems.

Metz's teachers refer students to
 

(Page 201)

her study sessions when they need extra help before a test. "The 
teacher announces study sessions and gives my name and phone number 
for the students. For individual students, we meet at whatever time 
is best for both of us."

Tutors are most valuable to freshmen who have not yet mastered basic 
skills.

"There are some students with the same problems, such as spelling," 
Onik said. "We're trying to set up a group session for common problems 
so we can reach more students at one time. It's mostly grammar that 
freshmen have problems with."

"Individual students who come to me have problems with the basic steps." 
Metz said, "Some have never had chemistry at all in high school and they 
need the little stuff explained to them that teachers don't cover in 
class."

Tutoring not only helps students | pass tests and classes, it helps the tutors 
themselves. Onik said the fact that tutors are helping other students increases 
their own abilities and "sense of awareness." ECHO

Problem solver -- Most of the students who attend the accounting tutor sessions 
have no previous experience in accounting. Kevin Pipkins, freshman, receives 
individualized help from Sheila McCartney, senior, during a session in Violette 
Hall.

Sneak preview

The choice: pick up six hours of electives approved by an adviser or 
get out of the classroom and take a few risks associated with any new 
job by doing an internship.

Even though the general bulletin states either option will fulfill the 
requirements for two-year secretarial, legal, medical and word processing 
majors, many students shun the easy elective route.

"When I found out that I could have an internship, I decided I would rather 
work," said secretarial major Cathy Dickinson, who interned in the Business 
Office during the spring. "It gives you the opportunity to see what it is 
like on the job. I really like it."

Making the transition from the classroom to the office experience is "what 
the internship is all about," Dora Bell Clark, coordinator of business and 
office education internships, said. "All of them are very anxious to do an 
internship, realizing that there is more practical experience."

During the spring semester, 30 students did office internships -- 11 medical, 
seven word processing, four legal and eight secretarial. This was Clark's 
first year as intern coordinator for all four groups.

In addition to placing the students in their temporary jobs, Clark required 
that they turn in weekly summaries of their observations, job duties and other 
activities. Job supervisors also read and signed these summaries.

Students worked a minimum of 15 hours a week for six hours of credit. Some of 
the interns were paid varying amounts by employers, and all worked with local 
companies. Delisa Cowley, a 1980 graduate and a medical assistant in the ears, 
nose and throat department at Laughlin Osteopathic Hospital, feels that

the on-the-job training was the most valuable part of her six-hour 
internship. "It is lOO percent different getting out and on the job. 
There are some alterations on things you can't do by the book. You are 
faced with problems and you have to figure them out the best way you 
know how."

On the personnel ladder, Cowley said a medical assistant is "one step below 
a licensed practical nurse. If you have as much on-the-job training, you can 
do as much as an LPN."

But the major advantage is that "you can always go back to secretarial work," 
Cowley said. "A nurse doesn't have the secretarial training we do. If jobs do 
get tight, I can always find some kind of secretarial job."

According to a follow-up study made in 1979 by the Business and Office Education 
curriculum committee, the internship was considered one of the three most valuable 
courses taken. Others were Medical Typewriting and Medical Secretarial Procedures.

Another 1980 graduate, Teresa McMurdo, supervises the word processing center in 
Violette Hall. McMurdo was the first graduate of the word processing program.

McMurdo said, "You know how data processing works with computers? Word processing 
is with automated typewriters. It makes revisions much easier. If they send you 
back a letter with one word changed, all you have to do is just change it (on the 
typewriter's memory) and play it back. You don't have to retype it all. It saves a 
lot of time and money." McMurdo said the job market looks good. "Most large companies 
(including Kirksville Osteopathic Health Center) have word processing centers now. 
Instead of having personal secretaries, they have a word processing center."

Of her spring 1981 internship with Kirksville attorney Vance Frick, Teresa Schneider 
said, "When you get out and hunt for a job, they want experience, and this is giving 
me a lot of experience."

Career-oriented internships are successful on both secondary and higher education levels. 
"I was in a program similar to this when I was in high school," Dickinson said, "and 
employers look at your work record. You get something from this you can't get in class."

Learning as handicapped
by Jan Parrot

Approaching the Student Union Building, the student in the wheelchair rolled 
herself up the ramp backwards. She had to go backwards in order to get into 
the door, which opened out. After five minutes of struggling she finally made 
it inside. She caught her breath, stood up and took the wheelchair out to the 
next student.

The Practicum I class is a course specializing in handicapped children. For 
two class periods special education majors simulated different handicaps by 
experimenting with equipment borrowed from nursing homes, funeral homes and 
the Red Cross. The equipment used included wheelchairs, and other specially 
designed devices and a hearing loss record.

The students experimented with wheelchairs. On the first day most of them soon 
discovered it was not as easy as it looked.

"You can't believe how hard it is to use one of those things (wheelchairs)," Kay 
DeGonia, senior, said. "It must have taken me five minutes to get up the ramp in 
front of the Administration/Humanities Building."

Barb DeMunck, temporary part-time assistant instructor, said, "Only one of the 
students made it into Violette Hall. Those doors are really heavy."

Connie Hayden, junior, said, "I think the thing that enlightened me most was the 
problems we had with the wheelchairs getting into the Student Union. You had to 
back in because the door swings out, not in. A wheelchair could very easily fall 
over sideways. It's very hazardous."

DeGonia said, "Even the little ledges in the parking lot in front of A/H are hard 
to go over."

One reason she felt the day was worthwhile was because "it made me see how our campus 
isn't well accommodated for the handicapped." Simulating the loss of a body part was 
another part of the course.

With two fingers taped together, some students attempted such chores as writing and 
buttoning. Another group had a wrist bandaged to the bicep to resemble a stump.

Margie Daly, freshman, experimented with the arm loss simulation. "It was really hard. 
You get to know what the handicapped go through because you can't use that arm. Even 
setting books down without dropping them is hard. You don't think of those things."

Daly also simulated blindness with a guide leading her around campus. "When I 
was simulating blindness, the girl guiding me knew what to do, but I still kept 
running into walls. Once, I almost walked into a classroom while it was in 
session. How embarrassing!" 

Some things she noticed were the expressions of people in the Union. "I don't know 
if they knew if we were simulating or not, but they'd look at us like 'What's wrong 
with you?'"

The hearing loss record "went over pretty well," DeGonia said. "The record portrayed 
different degrees of hearing loss by decibels. At one point everyone was sitting on 
the edge of their seats trying to hear if there was even anybody talking," she said.

Haydon said, "It was very frustrating when we could hear the sounds but not understand 
what was being said."

Leona Hill, junior, experimented with a head wand, a device constructed for the handicapped 
who have no control over their arms.

The wand is a headband that is worn around the forehead. A rod is connected perpendicularly 
at the center of the forehead. This enables pointing to written materials and typing.

"We use our arms and hands so much we don't think anything about it, but when you don't have 
them you find out just how difficult it is to communicate. We used the typewriter and that 
was a skill you really have to develop," Hill said.

Daly said it took a lot of coordination to guide the wand to the right typewriter keys.

The simulation experience showed the students how the handicapped cope with their disabilities. 
Karen Mears, junior, said she felt frustrated when no one attempted to help her. "People just 
stood there and stared at me and no one helped me while I was trying to get into Violette."

DeGonia said, "This is an area a lot of people don't know much about and people need to know. 
They don't realize what handicapped people have to go through to learn even simple tasks." ECHO

Major hobby 
by Patricia Tan

Music means more than a major to a group of students. This group takes music 
classes and participates in the marching band, NEMO Singers and instrumental 
groups.

Vicki Christensen, junior, said music will be a part of her career in one way 
or another. "I was originally going to major in music, but I found the market 
would be pretty limited." But with a business degree she could teach, perform 
or work in some aspect of the music industry, she said. "I can always branch 
out into music if I want to."

Christensen learned to play the clarinet and saxophone when she was 10. Her 
older sister was in a high school marching band, which is where Christensen's 
interest began. She said music takes a lot of time. "I had to cut out some of 
my band activities this year because my major is demanding," she said.

Another junior, accounting major Brian Fessler, began playing the trombone at 
age 10. He wanted to be different. "No one else played the trombone in my fifth 
grade class," he said.

Like Fessler, Julie Vogel, junior elementary education major, also wanted to be 
different. She, however, plays the violin, not the trombone. She played the 
violin and viola in high school.

"Music is a hobby, but it will also eventually help me in my major. I will be 
able to teach music to kids when I graduate," Vogel said. She is taking private 
lessons and is earning an hour credit from symphony orchestra. She does not find 
her music classes demanding but "sometimes I find it hard to practice on my own. 
I try to put in about five to six hours a week," she said.

Fessler plays in both marching and jazz band and hopes to continue playing in a 
small band after college. "Music really won't help my career, but it gives me 
another experience," he said.

Freshman Teralyn Clark takes private music lessons from Lewis Danfelt, professor 
of music. "It was my first real opportunity to take lessons," she said. However, 
she began playing the oboe and the flute when she was nine years old.

"It sort of runs in the family," she said. Clark has three older brothers and each 
plays a different instrument. She had thought about taking up music as a career but 
was struck by a case of stage fright. "I did not want to perform in front of people 
by myself."

Also from a musical family, junior Scott Reed plays the violin for fun. "My dad 
plays string instruments, my mom plays the piano and organ, and my sister Ann, a 
sophomore, sings and plays the piano," he said.

Three of Reed's 18 hours are devoted to music classes. These classes are symphony 
orchestra, string orchestra and private lessons, each at one credit apiece.

Practicing is not a problem for Reed. "I put in, average, one hour a day. It is like 
any other thing you do. Some people just don't have to put in much time, and some 
people have to. If I have a computer program to run, I just lay the violin aside. I 
enjoy playing the violin, but I chose math and computer science for its career 
opportunity," he said.

While some play stringed instruments and others play woodwinds, freshman Russell 
Hirner, an environmental science major, uses a different form of musical expression. 
"I sing," he said. "I love music and I love to sing."

Hirner is a member of NEMOs and the University chorus and men's choral. He also takes 
a voice class and was involved in the "Hello, Dolly!" chorus and the Baptist Student 
Union Choir.

Hirner said, "I told my mom I was going to go on singing, and I will. I hope to use my 
singing ability for more spiritual reasons when I graduate," he said.

Clark, Christensen and Reed are attending school with the aid of the Music Service 
Scholarship. Christensen said the scholarship is available to anyone who is willing 
to work hard in music but is not necessarily a music major.

"For me, music is not just an art. It helps me in other classes by releasing the 
pressure from other school work," Reed said. "I look forward to my music classes 
after my other classes. Music helps make college bearable." ECHO

The melody lingers -- After nine years of piano lessons, Sherri Swanson continues 
her training under substitute Dmitri Feofanov, pianist from Russia.

Tuning up -- Making sure her violin is perfectly tuned, junior Julia Vogel practices 
for orchestra. Although she is an elementary education major, Vogel spends five to 
six hours a week practicing the violin.

Back in the classroom 
by Scott Collins 

In the Army it is usually called double time. In the outside world it is 
often known as overtime. But in the world of education it is above and 
beyond the call of duty.

For Tom Shrout, director of external affairs, and three other administrators, 
many of their days throughout the week often start early and end late. Shrout, 
as well as Russ Harrison, director of public services; Terry Taylor, director 
of admissions, and Terry Smith, dean of students, is teaching a class in 
addition to carrying out other duties as an administrator.

Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction, said the University has had some problems 
filling positions in certain areas, particularly advertising and public relations 
classes, because of competition with private business. Individuals would rather 
practice their skill than teach it. He said the classes now being taught by the 
administrators would have been cancelled if the University had not found someone 
to teach them. In addition to Shrout, Harrison, Taylor, and Smith, Krueger said 
most of the division heads are also working in the classroom because they either 
feel they can or because they want to.

The classes currently being taught by Shrout, Harrison, and Cathy Dvorak will be 
filled by one person when the University is able to find someone to take the 
position. Krueger said applications were taken but professional journalism has 
proved more beneficial for applicants than teaching has.

Most of the people teaching the classes were asked to teach on short notice. Taylor 
was asked to teach in August of 1979, and even though the University has not required 
it, he has continued to teach through this year. Taylor, who has a master's degree in 
public administration, said, "It's good for the stodgy old administrator to get out of 
the office."

Shrout has enjoyed his time in the classroom also. He said being with the students has 
taken away some of the feeling of isolation he gets from being in an office all day. 
Teaching newswriting students has also helped him find some prospective employees who 
might be hired to work in the Public Relations Office in the future. Shrout has already 
hired one of his students to work with the University photographer.

Harrison is teaching a class in advertising. A 1955 graduate of NMSU, Harrison holds a 
degree in political science and also has taken journalism courses. He said the added 
duty of teaching has put some strain on him. "It means more hours of a night doing either 
Student Union work or preparing for class." Harrison said he often must make a decision 
about which is more important at the time. "Class is my number one priority," he said. 
"The kids deserve it."

Senior Kevin Harris, an advertising student, said Harrison offers some different input 
from what a regular teacher might have. "It's a new experience for both of us," Harris 
said. "It's like having a new teacher." Harris has liked some of the things Harrison 
has done in the class. Along with class projects, he has had local television and 
newspaper people speak to the class.

Tom Hillyer, senior, said, "It's interesting as a general overview. It gives you some 
idea about advertising" because the instructor has had firsthand experience.

Pat Guile, junior, said in the advertising class, "theories or graphics are not taught. 
That is half of advertising.

"I don't think administrators have enough time to devote to a class. There are too many 
responsibilities, and that distracts from time they can spend toward class," Guile said.

else what they know is quite a jump for most of the administrators. Shrout 
said that even though his expertise is in mass communication, he has found it 
different to transmit what he knows through oral communications. "It's a matter 
of giving an example and then illustrating it to make a point," he said.

Eldon Brewer, sophomore, said Shrout adds a lot of reality to the class. "Shrout 
lends a lot of personal experience to the class," he said.

Junior Teri Weatherby said, "He's got a lot of experience, but I don't think he's 
communicating enough of that experience. By giving more feedback on students' papers 
and discussing his own personal experiences more than the text, I think he could make 
Newswriting a really motivating experience."

Students in newswriting classes are given beats or certain areas to report on each week. 
Since one of the areas covered by students is in the Alumni Office, Shrout is interviewed 
each week by one of his own students. He said the situation is unique because he is 
teaching the student to interview and then becomes the interviewee.

Taylor said he has been enjoying the opportunity to get back in the classroom. He has 
found that teaching in his field has helped to keep him on top of public administration 
and the different changes taking place in administration. Taylor is not quite sure about 
his future in teaching. He said that even though he is enjoying it for now, he is not 
certain about a permanent job in the classroom. "Maybe in a couple of years."

While Taylor does not mind his temporary addition, Harrison said he did not want to 
remain in the class on a permanent basis. Harrison said, "It has been a refreshing 
experience," but added that he would not want to teach full time.

Past personal experiences have been one of the biggest assets of the administrators 
in the classroom, and after the fall semester they will all have one more experience 
to talk about: teaching. ECHO

Back in the saddle again
by Ellen Wand 

The days of relying on horses as a means of transportation have become history 
with the invention of the automobile. Horseback riding is now looked upon as a 
pleasurable hobby.

With horseback riding available as a one-hour P.E. course, many students are learning 
the equestrian art. Robin Findlay, a freshman enrolled in beginning horseback riding, 
said, "All the guys were making fun of me because I'm from St. Louis and I had never 
ridden a horse until I took this class." 

Beginners spend five hours in the classroom where they are instructed by Maurice Wade. 
He said, "I try and teach safety, psychology of the horse, health hints for the horse, 
and genetics." An emphasis is based on horse safety using film and slide aids. "We 
concentrate mostly on safety, not only for the rider, but also for the horse. The safety 
is important because many people have had bad experiences with horses because they didn't 
know how to handle them. With a bad experience you won't go back; we try to eliminate those 
bad experiences in the introduction of the class."

The students learn the process of horse care step by step as they advance from beginning to 
intermediate and then on to advanced classes. The intermediate class may be repeated until 
the student reaches the required level for the advanced class.

"I try to make it so they learn something no matter what level they are at," Jeannie 
Patterson said. Her parents' facilities, where she instructs riding, are equipped with 
an indoor and an outdoor arena.

"I don't ever let the kids ride if it is lightning or thundering or if there is a storm 
in the air," Patterson said. The indoor arena makes riding possible year around.

Many students have not had previous riding experience. Kevin Dunn, senior, said, "I've 
only ridden a few times when I was a little kid."

Riding time is made by arrangement, with no more than six students riding at a time. This 
enables the instructor to give the students more individualized pointers in order to improve 
their riding skills. Sophomore Amy Patterson said, "I just hope I can get better acquainted 
with a horse to build my confidence and just become a better rider."

Whatever the reason may be for learning this skill, it seems to be an enjoyable course. Who 
knows what source of transportation skyrocketing gas prices may lead us to? ECHO

Shadow pattern

Twenty-four women in bathing suits lined up in McKinney Center, striking various 
poses for a campus photographer. Although it looked like the swimsuit competition 
for the Miss Kirksville contest, it was actually a costume design class taught by 
Joyce Hearn, assistant professor of home economics.

The women have their picture taken at the beginning of the semester to make 
silhouettes of their body proportions. Hearn said, "They have silhouettes for 
their front and side views and they analyze their own figures by comparing 
them to the average young adult's and model's." 

Height and width are not measured by inches, but by head lengths. Karen 
Turnbough, sophomore, said, "We take the picture of our silhouettes and 
mark it from the top of our heads to our chin. We go all the way down and 
measure from our head to our feet and get our head lengths that way."
 

(Page 213)

Cut it out -- Nancy Blake, junior, starts the lengthy process of cutting 
out a welt pocket. The pocket resembles a bound buttonhole and is used on 
tailored garments only.

A pressing situation -- To create a crisp finished look, senior Becky Lay 
presses open the seams on the garment she is working on. Lay is a clothing 
and textiles retailing major.

The average length of a female is 7 1/2 heads and the average width from 
shoulder to shoulder is 1 1/2 heads.

The class helps students decide what clothes complement their figure or hide 
what they do not want people to see.

"We deal with the principles of planning a wardrobe for a particular figure 
type," Hearn said. "We learned art principles as they relate and how clothing 
can make a person seem taller or shorter. The high fashion model, for example,
 wears clothes that make her body seem elongated."

Kristy Fishback, sophomore, said, "I wear baggy pants because I have slim hips. 
I like tight-fitting ankles and big bulky sweaters. People with square shoulders 
have it made because they can wear just about anything."

Junior Patty Lake said, "I'm an average size in everything, so I really don't worry 
about what styles would suit me. I don't worry about dress lengths whereas a shorter 
person would have to wear theirs up or they'd look even smaller."

The class draws clothes on their silhouettes according to what would suit their bodies.

Fishback said, "The silhouettes are darkened so you can see the outline. It shows the 
curvature of the head and bustline and you can see if you've got one shoulder lower 
than the other or curvature of the spine."

Lake said, "I don't think the silhouette really gives an accurate picture because mine 
has my neck protruding and I know it doesn't do that. We take our profiles and draw the 
clothes on, like paper dolls." Seeing more than the outline on the silhouette helps.
Someone with a small bustline could wear double-breasted coats because the eye travels 
from button to button and makes it seem wider."

Turnbough said she put sporty outfits like blazers on her silhouette. "A lot of it depends 
on the coloring of a person," she said. "A person with a real fair complexion wouldn't want 
to wear pale pink. I buy mostly to preference but my thighs are sort of muscular, so I shy 
away from clothes that fit tight on the thighs. Baggy pants can hide big thighs because people 
don't know if it's the pants that are big or you."

Fishback said, "Some people have a big build, called yang, and others with a small build are 
called yen."

In today's world of fashion, people worry about their figures. They buy clothes that would 
look best on them. So if someone's worried about wide shoulders or big thighs, maybe they 
can take a tip from someone in the costume design class. "Black makes a person look thinner, 
vertical lines make you look taller." ECHO

The old American view that English is the only important language is fading 
as career responsibilities include communication with people of many nations.

French instructor Donna Crawford said students are recognizing the significant 
role foreign communications will play in the future.

"Politics and business seem to be areas most in need of the bilingual employee," 
Valerie Robbins, senior, said.

A business administration major, she studied Spanish and French and hopes to find 
a secretarial position in a large international firm. As businesses continue to 
expand in foreign countries, job openings for bilingual people will increase, she 
said.

Crawford said the use of foreign language is becoming beneficial to more and more 
careers. Learning another language is an excellent way to supplement major career 
training.

Foreign languages are also important for those wanting to work in the United States. 
Senior Richard White, an English major, hopes to continue in pre-law and would like

be a U. S. senator for California.

"There are many people in America today who need others who can communicate 
with them at a level of understanding that will not put them at a loss in our 
society," Robbins said. She referred to the Cuban and Hispanic population of 
the United States.

White said the U. S. has a deficit because of a shortage of businessmen

who can speak a foreign language. "Most foreign businessmen have mastered the 
English language and the usefulness of that ability can be seen in the successful 
marketing of foreign products in the U. S."

Susan Lobina, senior business major, became interested in learning new languages 
while traveling. "I simply enjoyed talking to people of different cultures and 
establishing rapport among strangers while in foreign countries."

French, Spanish, and Italian are the languages Lobina has studied. She hopes to find 
a position in international marketing, possibly importing and exporting.

Junior Sherry Doctorian, a political science major, is interested in foreign
service. She has studied Spanish and French. "Right now, my favorite place to 
work would be an American embassy in a French-speaking nation," she said.

"Employers will be looking for college graduates with a knowledge of more than 
one language in order to keep their business growing and expanding," Crawford 
said. ECHO

A required resource

"Ninety percent of the students don't want to take this class." The class Joyce 
Ann Jaillite, head reference librarian, is referring to is LIB 110, Library 
Resources.

Science, literature and math all give a student specific knowledge, but Library 
Resources allows the student to have knowledge on all subjects, Jaillite said.

The class allows open book tests and requires hands-on work in the library. "The 
purpose of the class is to expose the students to the library, not subject them 
to senseless memorization," Jaillite said.

Some students find it hard to see the value in the class. "I think it's the most 
boring class I've ever seen. It's worthless. You learn the library through just 
going there easier than through the class," Dennis McHenry, freshman, said.

Freshman Colleen Hogan said, "I already knew how to use the library very well. I 
don't see why I should take it, but it is necessary for many students. I think it 
should be an elective."

McHenry also said it is easier to learn through practical experience as far
 

(Page 217)

as the library is concerned. "They don't have classes on how to use 
Pershing Gym."

Sophomore Mike Morris said the class was a waste of time because "you have to 
go to that class when you could be taking a useful one. I can't see how library 
resources is going to help me once I graduate."

Some students feel they learned something valuable out of the class. Junior Cindy 
Ryan said although she had learned how to research for papers in high school, the 
class "expanded my knowledge of Pickler (Memorial Library). There is more research 
material there than in any other library I have ever researched in. In that way, 
it's a good course for us to take."

Jaillite said, "It helps the student who is now in school and also later when the 
student has left school. A student can develop the skill to learn. General education 
can be a life-long thing.

"I hope this makes the student feel comfortable in the world of information and 
that he will look at the library as a friend." ECHO

Searching and researching -- The Library Resources class requires students to use 
the card catalogs. Mary Mattaline, secretary of the reference library, looks up 
information for a student's classwork.

Where have you been lately?

The door silently opens and another tardy student slinks into the room, gently 
closing the door behind him. He creeps to the nearest chair, trying not to draw 
the attention of the entire class.

College students have found themselves in this position at one time or another 
as they slip into class 10, 15 or even 30 minutes late.

Sophomore Colleen Hogan said, "I am not late that often, but when I am it's 
because I was oversleeping, talking to friends or getting out of class late."

Freshman Tamye Shelton agreed. "I'm usually on time, but if I am late it's 
because I overslept."

For some students the extra few minutes of sleep would not be worth walking in 
during the middle of the period. For Bee Bokelman, sophomore, it is not worth 
the humiliation. "I'd probably die of embarrassment if I was ever late to class, 
because everyone would be looking at me." 

Other students are careful about being on time, as being late means they have to 
find out what they missed from someone else in the class.

Surprisingly enough, most students who generally make it to class on time are not 
bothered by those who do not.

"It doesn't bother me if someone is late, because I'm late occasionally myself," 
Hogan said.

Senior Patricia Freels said, "It doesn't bother me if anyone is late; I am always 
late myself. Believe me, you get used to it."

Judy Carter, freshman, said, "I don't care if anyone's late as long as they don't 
bother me."

One instructor, who did not want to be identified, commented that it did not upset 
him if a student was late because he felt it was the student's perogative.

Language and Literature instructor Vickie Amador feels being late shows a negative 
attitude. "Anyone can make a mistake and oversleep, or be held over later from 
another class," she said. "However, if it happens repeatedly, without any excuses 
given, it has to affect the student's grade. It indicates the student doesn't care 
enough to say something to the instructor and suggests irresponsibility." ECHO

Better late than never -- Dan Link, sophomore, shows up late for one of his law 
enforcement classes. When some students realize that they're late they simply 
do not go. Others, such as Link, go late.

Slipping in -- While the instructor, Paul Wohlfeil, talks to the class, freshman 
Nancy Thompson walks in late. Thompson, a child development major, is occasionally 
late to some of her other classes.

Terminal addition
by Mike Tucker

When the new academic computer was put on line in the fall, most students 
were unclear about the possible benefits of working out homework assignments 
at a video display terminal; the uncertainty has changed to some degree this 
year as more students were introduced to the system through homework.

One of the University's goals for the system is getting students who have not l
earned the basics of completing a computer program to use the system. An example 
of this is the group of 400 contemporary math students who completed a basic 
computer program in the spring.

"I found it (working with the computer) fascinating!" Diane Hart, junior nursing 
major, said. "I've decided that, if it fits into my science requirement, I would 
like to take the University's basic computer course next year."

The new IBM computer spurred students to learn more about operating a computer 
system. "We've added a lot of hopes and dreams with this computer," Darrell Krueger, 
dean of instruction, said. "I think every single student on campus will have some 
computer expertise."

Dale Woods, head of the Mathematics Division, shares that goal. Woods has worked to 
convince high schools throughout northern Missouri to invest in small computers for 
their students.

When the system is completed, students will have access to the computer from every 
division, Krueger said. The largest number of terminals is located in Violette Hall 
where the demand is greatest because of the Business and Math divisions. The system 
cost $300,000. Five years ago, it would have cost $1 million.

Data processing majors benefit a great deal from the new system.

Kevin Craven, freshman data processing major, said using the computer for classes other 
than math or business classes is not really any different.

How many hours a week does a data processing major spend at a terminal? "I might spend 
15 hours a week, but I usually spend about seven hours. It depends on how tough the 
programs are," he said.

Among the system's advantages, a terminal's video screen is mentioned the most often 
among students. "Information is right in front of you. It's easy to see where your 
mistakes are and it's easy to change them right away," Craven said.

"The thing I like about the new system is I don't have to use cards. In the old system, 
I had to take computer cards over to A/H (the Administration/Humanities Building), wait 
for someone to run my program and then I had to pick it up. The new system is better,"

Computerized room -- The new computer system allows larger numbers of students to use 
the computer. The screens eliminate the need for computer cards.

Enter -- With the new computer terminals it is often necessary to help 
fellow students. Sophomore Antoine Tabar watches to see what the computer 
will do.

Boob tube -- Looking over the screen, sophomore Kenneth Smith makes sure 
that the program he has keyed in is correct.

he said.

Including the part-time dialup terminals, the number of terminals available 
to students reached 54 in May, 1981, Gwen Watt of Computer Services said. 
The system can accommodate 70 terminals, and more can be added as demand 
increases.

The fine art of technology at the University advances toward ultra-efficiency 
with computers.

"We are living in a computer age and every educated person should have some 
knowledge of a computer," Woods said. ECHO

Trailing along
by Jeanette Lueders

Armed with one map, one pen, three partners and a few clues, 94 Military Science 
students hiked across the Thousand Hills State Park terrain. Searching for markers, 
they worked against time and 22 other teams, hoping to be the first to finish in the 
orienteering meet.

The meet, coordinated by the Spartan Club and the Military Science Division, was 
held Nov. 2.

Capt. David Mohnsen, instructor of Military Science, said the participants gained 25 
points toward the needed lOO points in the student involvement program for MS lOO. 
"The participation is on a voluntary basis," he said.

Spartan Club president Mark Linenbroker said each of the teams had four members. They 
were given a terrain map and compass points. "There were 10 points on the coursewhich 
were marked by red milk jugs," Linenbroker said. The milk jugs were tied in trees for 
easy sighting.

Mohnsen said the course covered almost 2.5 miles. The skills the students learned 
through orienteering included "using the compass, terrain navigating, reading maps, 
and negotiating a course once the points were determined," Mohnsen said.

Once the points were calculated, four teams left every two minutes, Linenbroker said. 
Each team was timed and given a maximum of two hours to complete the course. For every 
minute they came in late, a point was taken off. For each marker they found they received 
10 points. Each member of the team had to initial a card on the marker proving they were 
there, he said.

The course turned out to be more difficult than some expected. Junior Kathy Andrews said, 
"We didn't expect it to be that long. I'm out of shape. The course was really tough and 
extensive. I thought there would only be about five (markers). I was ready to drop."

Freshman Rusty Smith said, "It was up and down all the way. This was my first time for 
this and it will probably be my last."

Another freshman, Karla James, said, "I didn't figure it would be as hard as it was. The 
other three male team members took turns dragging me." She kept dropping behind otherwise.

Some of the teams ran into difficulties. Freshman Steve Spark said, "The ground was wet 
and the leaves were slippery. We kept sliding around."

Sophomore Gary Threlkeld said his group had difficulty finding one of the markers. They 
ran by it, but found it later.

Smith's team had problems because they were looking at the map the wrong way. "We don't 
know how we did it. Once we got the map straightened out we did pretty well," he said.

A few groups, in attempt to achieve good time, ran most of the way.

Ken Halterman, freshman, said his group, which came in third, ran most of the way.

His team member, Threlkeld, said, "We were going to just walk, but when we found the first 
three for four markers easily, we thought we would go for the time."

The first group to return finished with a time of one hour and 41 minutes. The last group 
returned close to three hours after they started.

In spite of the hard work, most agreed it was a fun experience. Andrews said it was worth 
it because the scenery at the lake was so nice.

Sophomore Don Darron said it was sort of fun being away from campus. "I don't get out into 
the woods very often. It's good to get away from campus life."

Another sophomore, Steve Greenwell, said he "would rather have been home watching football, 
but this was a good experience." ECHO

Take five -- After two hours of orienteering, the group rests weary muscles and tired legs. 
The program counted 25 points toward the participation program of Military Science classes.

To the point -- Looking for the red jugs that mark their reference point, freshmen Shelly 
Murton and Becky Weimer hike through the woods. They used a protractor to locate the 
points on their map.

Military Science Division for the orienteering exercise. Lori Robinson, 
freshman club member, carries the wood for the fire.

Standstill -- Looking for guidance, sophomore Tom Pemberton refers to his 
map of reference points. He earned 25 points for his Military Science 
class by participating in the exercise.

Breaking across sexual stereotypes, four upperclassmen try to prove that 
nursing is

Not for women only
by Talley Sue Hohlfeld

A 12-year-old girl and her mother, involved in a crash on the interstate, 
are rushed to a hospital. The mother is pronounced dead on arrival and the 
daughter is taken to emergency surgery. The nurse sees the girl, turns to 
the surgeon, and says, "I can't work on this patient. She's my daughter." 
How can this be?

In this hypothetical situation, the nurse is the girl's father. Just as women 
breaking into predominantly male fields have found prejudices that work for 
and against them, men doing the pioneering have run into similar problems. Out 
of 3 million nurses in America, 7,000 are male. And in the Nursing Division, 
four upperclassmen hope to join them.

"We were really afraid when we first started about just how the girls would accept 
us," Bill Carpenter, senior, said. But, the senior class is "just like a family."

Dale Brewer, a junior in the program, also found no prejudices. "The guys are made 
to feel they're worth something. They're not looked down upon. I feel like a big 
brother to some of the girls."

Although prejudice is low among nursing majors, Brewer has found some stereotyping 
outside the program. Brewer said people tend to regard him strangely at first. "They 
thought it was kind of funny, but once they got to know me, they got to think, 'Hey, 
the stereotype isn't what we thought.

The guy isn't a fag.' They had stereotyped a male nurse as a fem. You know what I mean."

Jeff Terrell, junior, guards against being accused of homosexuality. "I'm quick to 
point out that I have been in the service, I am married and I enjoy female 
companionship. Sometimes when people ask me why I am in nursing I will tell them, 
'Because I want to be surrounded by all those beautiful women!"'

Earlier in the year Terrell accompanied his next-door neighbor, to a ballgame in 
Salisbury. As he was watching the game, a stranger struck up a conversation and 
eventually asked Terrell what he was majoring in. "When I said 'nursing,' he 
immediately slid to the other end of the bench and resumed the conversation from 
there until he found out I had been in the military."

Terrell was once guilty of similar stereotyping, he Said. A high school friend, with 
whom he had worked as an orderly, went into nursing. "I considered him to be gay just 
because that was his choice."

For Terrell, nursing was the next best thing. He had hoped to be a physician's 
assistant, but legalities have limited that profession's range of duties. Nursing 
is better than medical school for Terrell because nurses spend more time with 
patients than doctors. "If the patient has a problem, I'll be the one that'll be
there to help him." Nurses spend about eight hours on a floor compared to the 
doctor's half-hour.

Carpenter said his parents had always stressed the importance of working in a field 
where there was a high demand for personnel. Hiring opportunities in nursing are 
high, especially for men.

Part of the reason for the demand for male nurse is the work load. Bruce Wheeler, 
senior, and Terrell, found when working on a routine floor they were given more 
duties than women nurses. They were assigned the same number of patients, but 
expected to help lift patients and equipment.

Wheeler, a licensed practical nurse, said that in his work on the surgical floor, 
when he was not scrubbed up, he was called to help prepare male patients for 
surgery.

While working in Macon at Samaritan Hospital, Carpenter found he was expected to 
work-with emergencies, drunks, and other difficult cases on the night shift.

"The nurses liked having a male around," he said.

This is not always the case. Sometimes male nurses are resented. "I've had trouble 
with some of the
 

(Page 225)

Older RNs on the staff, but once they get to know you, it's okay,"Carpenter said.

Nurses are not the only ones to resent the male nurse, Wheeler said. One 
doctor he worked with likes nurses to be female. "He calls them 'ladies.'" 
When Wheeler was called to the desk to go on rounds, "he would just kind of 
ignore me. It doesn't happen often."

Terrell thinks it may be easier for a physician to abuse a female nurse than 
a male one. "I've never had a physician holler at me, but I've seen him holler 
at a nurse," Terrell said. "You don't want to piss off another dude. He might 
knock your socks off."

Another misconception male nurses have to deal with involves being mistaken for 
physicians. "A lot of the patients think you're a doctor, especially the older 
patients. They expect doctor-type things instead of the nursing duties you have 
to perform. I go ahead and do what I'm there to do. I keep telling them I'm 
not a doctor," Wheeler said.

"Really," Carpenter said, "It's no different than a female going into a medical school." ECHO

Free advice: take it or leave it

What is something every student has but does not always use? An adviser.

According to Computer Services, there are 6,366 students enrolled, and 
437 full-time faculty members and four freshman counselors. This is a 
ratio of 12 students per adviser. This ratio is not uncommonly high 
until students and faculty members realize that teachers usually have 
a class load of three classes per semester. Thus, teachers may have 
problems counseling 12 students.

The overall campus average must be compared with division averages, however.

The number of students in the Science Division is 472 and faculty is 27. 
This ratio is close to the University average.

There are approximately 1,600 students to 37 faculty members in the Business 
Division, however, a ratio of 46 students to one faculty member. It was with 
this in mind that the Business Division hired two full-time academic advisers.

"These advisers took on all the incoming freshmen in the division and those 
students whose advisers did not return this year," Shirley Johnson, Business 
Division secretary, said. "The academic advisers handled from 175 to 200 
students apiece. Distribution of students among other faculty members is 
unequal and varies. It ranges from as few as 30 to as many as 50 students."

Other divisions are also in the same bind. Jim Lyons, head of the Social Science 
Division, said there were 30 advisers for 620 students, averaging out to 20 
students per faculty adviser.

With such a large number of students, problems in assigning students to advisers 
can result. For instance, in the Science Division, students are divided according 
to the number of advisers available in each major, and distribution depends on a 
major's popularity.

According to Dean Rosebery, head of the Science Division, "Advisers whose major 
is not popular may have virtually no students. Those with popular majors may 
advise a large number of students." 

If the number in a major becomes too large for the number of advisers, some 
students must be advised by a faculty member outside of the major. For example, 
in the fall there were two full-time mass communication instructors in the 
Language and Literature Division, and mass communication has the highest 
enrollment in that division.

Several mass communication students complained that their English professor 
advisers did not know enough about the communication field to advise them.

The same problem occurs in the Science Division. Many pre-medical


(Page 227)

students are advised by botanists instead of by zoologists or chemists, 
fields which directly relate to medicine and are often used by students as 
pathways to medical school.

In addition to possibly getting a faculty member with the wrong field for 
an adviser, there is also the problem of students who do not bother to talk 
with their advisers.

"I go in every semester after I've figured out my classes by myself and have 
him sign it (the permit to register). He looks it over, writes down what I'm 
taking and lets me leave," one junior said.

One student was embarrassed to admit that fall registration this year was the 
first time in three years he had gone to see his adviser. "I'd been forging his 
signature for three years. He was amused by the whole thing," he said.

This student, and many others, forge advisers' signatures for any of several 
reasons. This is not uncommon. "I remember when I first tried to register here," 
junior Tom Bloom said. "They told me at registration that I had to have my permit 
signed. I couldn't find my adviser, so I went up to one of the janitors in Science 
Hall and had him sign it."

Even professors get in on the act. Professor of English C.V. Huenemann remembered 
when the Language and Literature Division was still in Baldwin Hall. "I remember 
signing several students' slips as Washington Irving and then as Irving Washington. 
It got progressively worse from there. The worst thing was that all the permits went 
through."

One senior woman complained that sometimes advisers talk students into taking classes 
that they teach so there will be enough students to take the class.

"One teacher talked me into taking a medieval literature course because he thought it 
would do me some good. I hate the class, but I still like my adviser," she said.

Even though advisers sometimes cause problems for students, they can be good friends.

One senior said, "I remember earlier this year I had a pretty badly broken heart. I went 
in and cried on my adviser's shoulder, and he helped me get over it. He's been my good 
friend ever since. But, I still think he steers me wrong once in a while. I don't like 
some of the classes he wants me to take, but I suppose they're for my own good," she 
said.

Another student feels the same way about his adviser. "I can go in and talk to him about 
anything. He's really a good friend. I've asked him to do a reading in my wedding. But I 
still don't like all his advice." ECHO

Guiding the way -- Although many students do not find time to consult their advisers, 
some freshmen find them helpful. Freshman counselor Elsie Gaber helps freshman Theresa 
Swan plan her schedule.

Accident prone
by Jim Salter

"Becky's been raped, stabbed, hung, intentionally overdosed on drugs, hit by a 
car, shot in the head with a pistol several times, and has committed suicide," 
Paul Wohlfeil, temporary instructor in practical arts, said.

Becky is a mannequin.

The criminal justice department purchased her five years ago for demonstrations 
and instructional purposes. She is a 5'6" brunette with brown eyes, and resides 
in Wohlfeil's office in Laughlin Hall. "She's good company, but doesn't say much," 
Wohlfeil said.

Unlike most of her mannequin friends who spend the better part of their lives in 
store windows and showrooms, Becky is used when criminal justice students practice 
crime scene investigations and traffic accident investigations.

Her job is not easy. Senior Les Hahn said, "She's the most victimized person on campus."

"I remember her," criminal justice senior Kim Helton said. "She was riding a bike 
and was hit by a truck." Wohlfeil said, "We stage a fake accident involving an auto 
and a pedestrian behind Stokes (Stadium) using Becky as the victim."

From a distance it is not always easy to tell that Becky is a dummy. "Once, while 
we were staging the accident, a jogger ran to the scene to administer CPR," 
Wohlfeil said.

At other times, unsuspecting students witnessing the staged mishaps have called 
the Kirksville police or Safety and Security. "It can be pretty embarrassing when 
they pull up with their sirens blaring and their red lights on," Wohlfeil said.

The dummy does not have to be in an accident to be mistaken for a human. "Sometimes 
in Laughlin Hall I go around the corner and forget there's a mannequin sitting there," 
Hahn said. "I've seen a (security) guard scream quite loudly."

Becky was a nudist until last year when an instructor bought her a blue pant suit.

something to be desired, which is understandable after all she has been through. 
"I think she needs some plastic surgery," Wohlfeil said. "Maybe a nose job or 
something."

Becky may not be the most beautiful dummy around, but she is certainly one of 
the most helpful. "She's been a great help to the criminal justice program," 
Wohlfeil said.

Steve Michaels, junior criminal justice major, agrees. "It would be hard to find 
anybody who wants her job."

Sadly, Becky's days here may be numbered. "She's starting to fall apart," Wohfeil 
said.

Danger is so low and safety precautions are so high, this class is

Radiating confidence
by Brian Greif

Every week students dressed in lab aprons, rubber gloves- and safety 
glasses work with radioactive substances in radiology class.

To most people the mention of radio-activity brings forth visions of 
atomic bombs and mushroom clouds. However, the type of radiation dealt 
with in radiology class is far more mundane and, according to Robert 
Mason, assistant professor of science, far safer.

Mason explained that the purpose of the class is to teach students to 
use the radioactive isotopes for research in scientific fields such as 
chemistry, biology and medicine.

Isotopes are atoms which contain a higher-than-normal number of neutrons. 
These extra neutrons make isotopes chemically unstable. They tend to fall 
apart and give off radioactive particles in the process. Mason stressed 
that another goal of the class is to teach students how to use these 
isotopes safely.

"We use the radioactive material only when needed. We also stress that, if 
other methods are available, to use the alternatives and not the radioactive 
material," he said.

Because safety is such an important goal to Mason and his class, many 
precautions are taken.

All radioactive materials used in class experiments are kept in lead containers 
to prevent unnecessary exposure. Many of the isotopes used in the class give off 
gamma particles, a type of fairly high-energy radioactive particle, when they decay. 
These rays are unable to penetrate lead and cannot escape from the containers.

However, Mason said, gamma-emitting materials are seldom used. Most of the experiments 
done in class involve isotopes which emit lower-energy beta particles. This type of 
radiation is not strong enough to penetrate glass.

Another safety measure for the class involves the use of a fume hood which sucks vapors 
off from the isotope being handled and prevents inhalation of possibly toxic vapors. All 
students wear plastic surgical gloves on their hands and the isotopes are stored in trays 
lined with absorbent, waterproof paper. Mason said this facilitates the clean-up of 
materials.

However, even though the safety precautions in the lab are thorough, Mason's radiology 
students have mixed opinions about them.

Senior Randall Seaba said he enjoyed working with the isotopes and that he was not 
concerned about safety. "The samples aren't high in activity. We study different 
substances and work equations. We just do different experiments," he said.

Senior chemistry major Ruff Fleming wasn't worried about safety at all. "It's 
ridiculously boring," he said. "They (the science professors) won't allow any 
damage. There's no way you can get hurt.

"This class is like any other. The radioactive substances you work with will not 
penetrate the skin. If you ate it, it probably wouldn't hurt you." 

Graduate student Julie Oakman, who is working on a master's in biology, said, "It's 
really enlightening. I've learned to respect the materials and the class. It 
(radiology) definitely has its place in medical research." 

Though his students find the safety precautions satisfactory and perhaps a trifle 
excessive, Mason said he likes to stay on the safe side.

Each month the lab is checked and monitored for radiation. Mason also checks the 
lab periodically during the week for any problems that might occur. He believes 
there is no reason for students to worry about accidents in lab.

"Because of our method of experimentation and the small amounts of radioactive 
material used, there should be no problems," he said.

Even if outsiders might still be skeptical about the safety of the class, Mason 
is not. The record of the class is spotless.

"The class has been offered for 17 years," he said. "We haven't had any problems 
yet." ECHO

Playing the numbers -- A liquid scintillation counter measures the radioactive decay 
in the material Preston Swafford, sophomore, and Randy Seaba, senior, are testing. 
The material was prepared the same day.

Take the plunge -- Surgical gloves on hand, Russell Fleming, senior, makes a radioactive 
sample. Most radioactive materials used in the class have such low levels of radioactivity 
they would not pass through glass.

People ultimately pursue the areas of interest foremost in their lives," 
Susan Albach, senior, said in reference to her philosophy and religion major.

"For myself, the curiosity lies in the very gift of life itself, how others 
have understood it, and how their lives reflected that understanding," Albach 
explained.

Kitty Bendixen-Park chose philosophy and religion because she wanted to go on 
to graduate school to study the Old Testament and further her education in 
theology. She would like to teach in a seminary.

"Like anyone else, I was interested in the gift of life, and understanding it," 
Park said. "The aspects of existence puzzle everyone."

There are seven students in the

Heavy load -- Judging by their titles, these books seem to require a lot of heavy 
thinking. Although any major has an armload of books, each major requires a 
different set of titles.

talks with Kitty Bendixen-Park in his office in Laughlin Building. Park, a senior, 
is one of seven philosophy/religion majors.

philosophy/religion major.

Although job opportunities would seem almost nonexistent for such a 
small major, there are a number of employment areas open. The ministry, 
politics, law, parochial education, social work, and Christian education 
offer occupations in their line of study.

Albach's future plans for her major are to obtain a master's degree in 
theology from a Roman Catholic educational facility.

Essential to a philosophy/religion major are the language classes, Greek 
and Latin.

"Consistent problems in the head of the Language and Literature Division
are in getting Greek and Latin, languages essential for our studies." Park 
said. "The school can't make money off these courses because there are not 
enough people who will enroll, though through much hassle we have been able 
to get these classes."

Other students required to know Greek and Latin are medical students who must 
learn them before they can get into medical school, Park said.

Many people are ignorant of what philosophy and religion involves.

"Philosophical and religious questions have rooted, shaped and puzzled humankind 
since their origin," Albach said. "In western civilization, our evaluative nature 
makes philosophers of us all, regardless of whether or not we are aware of this 
consciously."

"Students often approach me and, upon finding out my major, ask me, 'What is 
religion?'" Park said. "As if I could, in one line, summarize thousands of 
years and concepts of religon!" ECHO

Stumbling block to learning
by Carla Robinson

"It's certainly not the money. It's a problem-solving sort of job," Dennis 
Hendrix, associate professor of special education, said. Nothing much is 
known about learning disabilities, his area of specialty. There is no apparent 
reason why children have learning disabilities.

L.D. children are placed in special, more individualized programs with the 
presumption that they are capable of normal achieving. They differ from the 
mentally retarded in that they have the potential to reach the normal level.

The main problem these children have is with reading, Lisa Schmitz, a 1980 
graduate in L.D., said. The reading problems then affect the children's 
other classes.

The problems, however, are numerous and varied, Hendrix said. No two children 
have the exact same problem.

One problem that senior Cathy Minor ran into during her practicum concerned the 
child's ability to understand abstract concepts. Minor said that a first grader 
could not understand the concept of above and below.

Another boy could not do multiplication. "His problem was remembering the steps," 
she said. Once he had a step-by-step procedure written down, he could do it.

Schmitz said that one child she encountered while student teaching was good at 
word call but could not comprehend what she had read. "You could read a story 
to her three times, ask her questions, and she wouldn't be able to answer. Then 
you could read the answer to her, ask the question again, and she still couldn't 
remember the answer."

Most students in the L.D. area would agree that motivation is a big factor in 
teaching these children. "They need to be motivated a lot," junior Karla Herbst, 
said. "They have a really short attention span."

Schmitz agreed that motivation is the hardest thing in teaching L.D. children. 
"Little kids love to learn. They're motivated just by going to school," she said. 
But L.D. children have failed so much that the learning process holds no interest 
for them.

It is difficult to determine the worth of an L.D. program. "It's hard to say whether 
it's doing good or not," Hendrix said. Experiments cannot be done on the children 
because two L.D. children never are exactly alike. "You can't take two L.D. kids 
exactly alike because they don't exist." There is no evidence that a child who is 
in an L.D. program and improves would not have improved if he had remained in a 
regular classroom.

In most cases the L.D. child doesn't make it to the normal level, Hendrix said. But, 
he said, "We're going on the assumption that the kid is being helped by being in the 
L.D. program, provided that the L.D. teacher is actually able to spend more time with 
the student than a regular teacher would."

Helping these students takes extra time, and the number of students per teacher must 
be small if the teacher is going to be able to check the behavior and increase the 
motivation of the students.

Schmitz recalled a case when the student's problem stemmed from behavior. The boy did 
not want to do anything but make jokes and look around the classroom. "He was someone 
highly influenced by seeing his progress in some form

he could understand." She said she made a chart at a certain place 
in the room where everyone could see and a mark was placed against him 
each time he misbehaved. Within a week, his progress was evident, she 
said.

The charting method usually works best with younger children, Schmitz 
said. Other methods must be used in dealing with older children.

"You have to try and tell them why you're doing this and why they need it,"
Herbst said. "You do something that interests them. The one kid was really 
good at art and drawing." After finding this interest Herbst incorporated 
it in his social studies, an area he had trouble with. "He got to use colored 
pencils so he wanted to make maps," she said.

Schmitz described another motivating technique used by her cooperating teacher 
where she student taught. Each child, she said, had a mouse with his name on it 
hanging from the ceiling. Each also had a piece of construction paper that looked 
like a piece of cheese. "They had holes punched in their cheese (when they 
completed something). When they had 10 holes in the cheese they were able to 
put it up with their mouse."

Hendrix said it is not that L.D. teacher needs all the skills of an elementary 
teacher, but that "different skills are needed in being an L.D. teacher and a 
regular teacher." Some believe, he said, that in order to be an L.D. teacher 
you must first have had experience in being a regular teacher.

Most of those who choose to become L.D. teachers over becoming regular classroom 
elementary teachers feel there is more gratification in teaching learning disabled 
children. "It's an investigation procedure," Hendrix said. That aspect appeals to 
some students.

Schmitz said that teachers of the learning disabled learn by experience, trial and 
error. "What works with one won't work with the next. You can't say one way is right 
There are no absolutes." Her reasons for going into learning disabilities reflect 
these statements. "I wanted to teach," she said, "but someone more of a challenge 
than a regular student -- someone who needed it." ECHO

Tailored to fit students' needs, independent speech is 
by Cheryl Conrad

Knocking knees, sweaty palms and butterflies in the stomach may be 
a problem when it comes time to give a speech. There is a way to 
avoid this uncomfortable situation -- LL 170, independent speech.

The independent speech course was first offered on an individualized 
basis in 1970 when Linnea Ratcliff, associate professor of speech, and 
Richard and Linda Heun, associate professors of speech, designed a new 
method of learning speech communication skills.

Linda Heun said the course is geared toward individual instruction rather 
than independent study. "There is a difference between the two."

The main philosophy surrounding the individualized speech approach is that 
no two students are alike. "Our students fit into three major categories; 
those who have a lot of communication skills, those with hardly any at all 
and those who are just independent learners," Linda Heun said.

"In this program we try to make learning the constant and time the

homework is done independently, exams are on the curriculum so that 
instructors can test the progress of each student.

Custom-made

variable," Richard Heun said. Students in the course use the Speech Communications 
Lab Center, which stresses the flexibility of learning devices, he said.

Students can learn through reading the textbook, or they have the option of working 
with another student. There are also cassette and videotapes available as alternatives 
to reading.

Heun recalled an incident in which a student commuted and worked as a traveling salesman. 
The student used the cassette tapes by listening to them as he drove from city to city. 
"I don't advise that to all students, but it worked for him," Richard Heun said.

Junior Karla Herbst said she took the course because "I didn't want to give speeches in 
front of the class. I wanted to take it individualized because you can do it on your own 
time and speed."

She said she completed the course three weeks before the semester ended.

Junior Ruth Howe also did not want to speak in front of a large group of people. "I 
liked the individual attention, and also the ability to work at my own pace."

She found out later that as a business major she was not to have taken independent 
speech.

Business majors are not to take the class because the business faculty feels experience 
is needed in speaking in front of people, Robert Dager, head of the Business Division, 
said. "They don't get that in an independent speech class."

The time variable is an advantage because the individual can determine his own pace. 
Ratcliff said approximately 10 percent of her students fulfill their grade goal, or 
complete the course, by mid-term. Richard Heun cited a record of five days.

Ratcliff said the center provides the biggest advantage to students. It is manned by 
work-study students from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. "Students can 
test all day long, and the lab is complete with all the needed equipment, like videotape 
players," she said.

Linda Heun is in favor of the program because it adapts to the student rather than forcing 
the student to adapt to the course. "Our program is competency-based. The students must make 
l00 percent in each of the areas of speech, and we help them do it. The individual grade is 
based on the number of units completed."

When asked how the independent course compares with the classroom approach, Ratcliff said she 
would teach the same areas she teaches now if she were in the classroom. "The difference lies 
in the approach rather than the content area. Each faculty member teaches his course the way 
he wants to."

Even though the Heuns' program slightly differs from Ratcliffs, both emphasize all aspects of 
speech communication, not just the ability to get up before a group and deliver a speech. ECHO

Dwindling dollars
by Doug Cowgill

Pondering the problem -- Hilburn Fishback and Ralph Shain discuss the budget. 
The board may have to raise student fees.

Talk it over -- During the open session of the Board of Regents meeting, observers 
discuss budget data. The meeting was closed in the afternoon.

In an institution of higher learning, who suffers when the funds are cut in a time 
of double-digit inflation? Who are the winners?

University President Charles McClain said there are no winners. The students are 
the losers because the University cannot employ more faculty. Faculty members also 
lose, because without increased salaries the University cannot keep up with the rate 
of inflation.

The cut referred to is the 10 percent cut in general education's current operating 
budget that Gov. Christopher Bond called for. In accordance with this, Bond recommended 
only $13,560,000 for NMSU from the Missouri general revenue funds for next year. The 
University requested $16,357,513. This is close to a $3 million difference.

The fiscal '82 total operating budget was for $21,244,147, which is a 17.2 percent 
increase over the current operating budget, McClain said. There were two sources of 
income for this budget.
 

(Page 239)

The first was the general revenue appropriation and the second source was 
University-generated income not appropriated directly. Student fees are part 
of this locally generated income.

According to John Jepson, budget director, there were three major priorities 
of the fiscal year '82 request. The first priority was $1,659,588 needed to 
maintain the same level of salary and staff benefits adjusted for inflation.

The second priority was educational equipment and expenses in which $569,940 
would be needed to handle inflationary increases.

"The first two just keep the status quo," Jepson said. The third priority was 
for new money to be used for institutional quality improvements. The amount 
requested was $943,693. In requesting program improvement funds, the University 
vowed to produce a larger number of seniors achieving a score above the 50th 
percentile on a senior exam and above the 50th percentile on the test of their 
major, Jepson said.

Overall, though, when it comes to spending the money, the University considers 
the budget as a whole. The major components, all of which are hurt when there 
is a cut, are divided into seven categories. The administration	regards 
instruction as a first priority; this includes academic divisions, teachers' 
salaries and equipment. Second is general support in which academic support, 
student services, intercollegiate athletics and institutional support (business 
offices) are included. General repair and maintenance of the physical plant make 
up the third component followed by utilities, libraries, student aid, research 
and public service.

Of these major components in the University budget, about 70 percent goes for 
salaries and benefits, McClain said.

One factor that plays a part in the size of NMSU's budget is the amount of student 
fees as compared to total education costs. "A master plan for higher education, 
approved March 10, 1979, set a goal that incidental fees for Missouri residents 
should equal approximately 20 percent of the cost of education," McClain said. 
NMSU is currently at 18 percent plus, the highest in Missouri.

Even though NMSU has the highest percentage, "We are the only school that didn't 
have a fee increase in fiscal '81," McClain said. The increases ranged from 6.7 
percent at Southwest Missouri State in Springfield to 22.7 percent at Central 
Missouri State in Cape Girardeau.

It is possible NMSU will have a fee increase next year, but hopefully it will not 
be greatly increased by the governor's proposed cut, McClain said. The students 
could lose in more ways than one. "If education is truly the first line of defense 
in a democracy, maybe there are no winners when there are cuts." ECHO

Model building -- A new industrial education addition model is displayed at the February 
meeting of the board. Additional funds were granted last year.

Discussion time -- At their monthly meeting, the board discusses current status of the 
budget. Meetings are taped in compliance with the Sunshine Law.

Scoring their goals
by Sherry McGovern

"Sometimes accomplishments are kind of hard to come by and progress tends to be 
made at a snail's pace," Lydia Inman, dean of graduate studies, said. Nevertheless, 
progress is made and the 1980-81 academic year proved that long-term administration 
goals and objectives were met.

In the office of the dean of graduate studies, Inman reported a 20 percent increase 
over the 1980 academic year in the number of graduate students enrolled during the 
year. She attributed the increase to the quality of instruction by faculty, the 
quality of the programs offered and the reasonable costs at which graduate students 
may continue their studies.

For Darrell Krueger, dean of instruction, the recruitment of 57 new faculty members 
and their integration into the existing faculty was a significant achievement for 
the year. At the same time, Krueger said, a long-term objective of keeping a quality 
faculty force at the University was maintained.

Krueger also noted the institution of a program improvements fund which is awarded to 
academic programs based on their increased accomplishments, measured in test scores. 
Performances of students in programs where funding is appropriated will be measured 
and funds will be awarded accordingly. "The program has been instituted and is working 
(for the first year)," Krueger said.

Dean of Students Terry Smith said the maturity of the Greek system on campus increased 
this year in comparison to past years. "It's been a long time coming," he said. With 
many Greek-related problems experienced during the 1979-80 year, Smith said no 
infractions of the adopted social, alcohol and hazing policies were reported this 
year.

Another long-term goal being achieved through the Dean of Students Office is that 
faculty members have begun working more closely with Student Services programs than 
they had in the past. Faculty members tended to consider the academic side of a 
college career more important than student-

oriented programs at a university. Smith said he sees a definite shift 
toward the middle where the two become equally important.

Dale Schatz, vice president, said an accomplishment seen from his office was 
that NMSU has received the highest levels of funding of any state university.
He attributes this achievement to the University's efforts to convince 
legislators that higher education is an investment rather than an expense.

Internally, Schatz said, the University functions on common objectives. When 
administration officials work together toward common goals, achievements and 
accomplishments come more readily. Shatz said, "I think it's a strength when 
you ask, 'who gets credit for that?' and you can't say who." ECHO

The players had no choice. Even before the school year started, the decision 
was made to play one of the toughest football schedules of any NCAA Division II 
team. The coach had no choice. The field hockey team suffered through a 3-14 
season largely due to the fact that she had only a limited number of players 
to choose from. The women's cross country team did not have enough players to 
compete as a team. The spectators chose. Stokes Stadium and Pershing Arena were 
packed for almost every football and basketball game as students and fans chose 
to support the Bulldogs. Hundreds of students also chose to participate in sports 
at the intramural level Whether the choices were or spectators, it was still A 
SPORTING CHOICE.

A-hunting we will go
by Jim Salter

There is a joke about John Cox among his friends. He would shoot himself 
if he was ever in season, they say.

"I love hunting," Cox, a junior, said. "I've been doing it since I was 10. 
It's a good way to get away."

Sophomore Brent Burris agreed. "I like getting out. Hunting is very relaxing 
and I like the challenge."

The wooded areas around Kirksville are ideal for hunting. A favorite spot for 
Cox and Burris is an area three miles northeast of Adair, about 15 minutes 
from campus.

On a Saturday morning in February, Cox and Burris sat in Cox's house preparing 
to go rabbit hunting. "Dress warm," Cox said. "It's cold and windy out there."

After making sure they had everything else, Burris remembered one important item. 
"I'd better take some toilet paper. Every time I get out there I have to go to 
the bathroom."

After stopping at Mateo to get shells, Cox and Burris headed for their spot in a 
borrowed four-wheel drive pickup. The truck was almost a necessity to drive on the 
slick snow-covered gravel road leading to their hunting grounds. But to Burris and 
Cox, the sport is worth the trouble.

"We'll shoot anything that moves, baby," Cox jokingly said. "I love to hunt ducks 
and geese the best, but I'll hunt anything."

But the game of the day was rabbits. As soon as the hunters got out of the truck, 
they split apart. "We're flushing them out," Burris said. "If we angle out they'll 
run out one way or another." 

Burris was right. Within minutes, a rabbit sprinted out from a group of bushes, 
running straight at Burris, who fired.

"Missed him.

"The bad thing is sometimes they scare the crap out of you," Burris said. "They wait 
until the last minute to run out and surprise you."

Another thing that can scare a hunter is simply other hunters. "You have to be 
careful," Cox said. "As long as you know where everybody's at, you're OK."

Burris fired once again. And again, and a third time. "Did you get him, Brent?" 
Cox asked. There was silence. "Maybe he shot himself."

But it was a rabbit rather than himself that Burris shot. Before Burris could put 
the rabbit in his pouch, Cox spotted another one. "Come down in the brush here a 
little bit and we'll corner him," Cox said. But this time the rabbit won the battle 
and escaped.

"It really doesn't matter to me if I get a shot or not when I go hunting, it's just 
getting out," Cox said.

As the action slowed down a bit, Burris had a chance to put the rabbit in his 
pouch, but it would no fit. "Pull his head off and let the blood drain out," 
Cox told him. "He should fit then."

One criticism of hunting is that it is cruel to animals. Cox disagrees. "When 
they are shot, they are usually killed instantly," he said. He added that he 
eats almost everything he kills.

As the hunters neared the pickup and the end of the hunt, there was one last 
target, a rabbit running across the road. Cox fired three shots. "I think I 
got him," he said.

He missed.

Burris summed up the day's hunt. "Sometimes you can waste a whole lot of shells." ECHO

The two wrestlers circle each other, looking for an opening and a chance to

packed, standing room only.

A Bulldog wrestling match? No. It is female mud wrestling, a popular spectator 
sport in Kirksville during the winter. Mud wrestling, held at the Oz on Thursday 
nights during February, and the Golden Spike's mechanical bull, have helped move 
sports in Kirksville from the gyms and fields to the bars.

The mechanical bull, known as El Toro, is more than a spectator sport. For $2, 
anyone can try their hand at it.

El Toro is set on a one to nine scale with one being the easiest and nine the 
most difficult. "I've got about 25 people who can handle it on a nine," Dennis 
Shultheiss, an employee in charge of running the bull, said.

"It's not as easy as it looks," junior Steve Michael said. "I rode it on a five 
and barely hung on."

Although Michael may have thought it looked easy, the mere sight of the bull is 
enough to scare some people. Junior Pat Campbell said it scared him. "It reminds 
me of my last date."

Riding the bull is not as simple as getting on and staying there.

No holds (cont.)

The person riding El Toro must hold on to the bull ring with one hand and 
keep the other hand up in the air. The rides last about 15 seconds unless 
the person grabs the bull with both hands or falls off onto the cushioned 
floor.

Technique is especially important during the bull-riding contests held 
occassionally at the Golden Spike. "We score according to regular rodeo 
style," Shultheiss said. "The better the contestant controls his body 
and kicks his legs, the higher his score."

Scoring was not as precise at the Oz's mud wrestling. The crowd's applause 
was a major factor in determining the winner, although judges did keep score.

The match started with both women, dressed only in one-piece swimming suits, 
on their knees in a small ring set up in the middle of the dance floor. The 
ring was full of fresh mud. The wrestler's goal was to take down her opponent.

After a takedown the referee stepped in and both women got back on their knees. 
There were three periods in each match, with four matches held in an evening. 
The contestants received $50 for competing, $100 if they won.

The money was the reason freshman Patricia Russell wrestled. "I need a new tennis 
racket," she said.

"It looked fun," freshman Teresa Terhune, another contestant, said. "I don't consider 
myself an exhibitionist but it looks like a good time."

There were various reasons for the popularity of mud wrestling: the sport, the party 
atmosphere and the female contestants. "It would be better without the bathing suits," 
sophomore Bruce Bottcher said. "I would like to mention that I'm willing to take on all 
comers."

Kevin Dodson, a senior who worked as a bartender at the Oz, said on the average almost 
600 people showed up for the contests. "I can't believe so many people come out for 
this." ECHO

Tennis is back at NMSU,"

Doug Swisher, junior, described the 1980 Bulldog record.

Tennis is back because the Bulldogs have suffered two disappointing 
seasons before: 2-15 in 1979 and 1-14 in 1978. This year the Dogs 
finished 10-9.

"We decided at the beginning of the season that a winning season would be 
our goal," Swisher said. "More time and practice to hit balls, and the 
fact that the Pershing Arena was not torn up made a big difference in our 
attitude." 

Swisher, who raised his own mark from 1-18 in 1979 to a team-leading 15-7 in 
1980, gave a lot of credit for the Bulldogs' performance to first-year coach 
Terry Taylor. "He was new, but after you got used to him you could tell he 
would make a good program." 

The highlight of the comeback season came when the Bulldogs beat a tough 
Northwest Missouri State University team 5-4, for the first time since 
1972.

The Dogs lost the first four matches. No. 5 player Kevin Witt, sophomore, 
lost his first set 1-6 but won 1-6, 6-1, 6-0. Swisher then won 6-3, 6-0 at 
the No. 6 spot.

The No. 1 doubles team, consisting of Jim Nieman, freshman, and Bryan Baum, 
senior, won 6-3, 6-1, and Tim Schneekloth, freshman, and Mike Schneekloth, 
sophomore, won 6-3, 6-2 at the No. 2 spot.

Andy Holdefer, freshman, and Witt, in the No. 3 spot, lost the first set 2-6, 
but came back to save the Dogs with scores of 6-3, 6-3.

The Bulldogs, however, were not as fortunate in the conference tournament, 
earning fourth place behind Southeast Missouri State, Central Missouri State, 
and Southwest Missouri State.

"The conference tournament was disheartening to us," Taylor said. "Victories in 
several key matches could have moved us up as high as second in the MIAA standings.

"We only lose Baum," Taylor said. "If I do some effective recruiting in the off-
season, we could be very competitive for the MIAA. I want to recruit three or four 
new prospects." ECHO

Depth and team spirit were visible from the net to the baseline during 
the course of the season for the women's tennis team.

"We had really good depth," Coach Sue Fisher said. She welcomed back five 
returning lettermen from an 8-3 squad the year before. Two seniors were 
lost, but the new coach said a promising crop of freshmen would help blend 
the 1981 season into a successful one.

The netters got off to a fast start by winning five straight dual matches.

At the Missouri Western Tournament the Bulldogs continued their winning ways, 
finishing first out of 11 teams. The women scored 24 points to outdistance 
runner-up Southwest Baptist's 21 points. Last year the Bulldogs finished 
third at the tournament.

Returning letter-winner Mary Short, sophomore, said, "Our true talent came out 
at the tournament. The competition was tough, but we pulled through and played 
well."

"I think we peaked at the Missouri Western Tournament when it should have been 
at the state tournament," Fisher said.

After the Missouri Western Tournament, the Bulldogs beat the University of Missouri - 
St. Louis, 6-3, and then suffered their only loss of the season, to Missouri Southern,
3-6.

Freshman Latricia Lanpher said that after the loss "everybody still stuck together 
and kept each other's spirits up. We had a good team effort all through the year."

At the MAIAW State Tournament, the team finished in fourth place out of eight teams, 
down from a second-place finish a year ago.

"At State, we had a tough draw," the first-year coach said. "We had to play Southwest 
Missouri (first place) or Missouri Southern (third place) in almost every first-round 
match, but we played well."

The Bulldogs had two flight champions, though. Freshman Tracy Einspanjer won at No. 3 
singles and freshman Christy Johnston and Einspanjer captured the No. 3 doubles crown.

Johnston and Einspanjer went on to the AIAW Region Six Tennis Championships in Springfield 
as a result of their first place finishes at State. Einspanjer finished second in the No. 
3 singles flight, and Johnston and Einspanjer also finished second at No. 3 doubles.

Fisher had hoped the women would be able to compete in the AIAW Division II National 
Tournament in Los Angeles, but said they didn't play enough matches during the regular 
season. She petitioned the national committee to no avail.

"The committee said many of the other individual petitioners had played 40 to 50 
matches. Our two women played only 15 matches," Fisher said.

"We should have gone," Johnston said, "because we lost only one match all year."

Fisher said during the season the whole team "was always fired up. We had a strong 
team. The talent was certainly there."

That talent was evident in the Bulldogs' records. The team went 6-1, and Fisher said 
individual records were "impressive."

The No. 1 singles player, junior Suzi Schanbacher, went 9-3 for the year, and Short 
went 6-4 at No. 2. Einspanjer finished at 14-1 in the No. 3 spot, and Lanpher was 9-4 
in the fourth position. Junior Angie Griffin played in the No. 5 spot and carved a
7-4 slate. Sophomore Karla Herbst had a 3-5 record at No. 6.

Schanbacher and Griffin formed the No. 1 doubles team and compiled an 8-3 record. 
Lanpher and Short went 3-3 at No. 2, and Johnston and Einspanjer were 14-1.

Fisher said with the depth on the team, she used other combinations in doubles and 
shuffled the lineup throughout the year. A blend of hard work and unity brought the 
team a successful year, she said. "They played hard together and also played well 
together. There was good team spirit." ECHO

The golf team placed higher than last year in every tournament, continuing 
its

Drive toward improvement
by Jim Salter

Golf Coach Bill Richerson may not be Jimmy the Greek, but his pre-season prediction 
of marked improvement for his golf team was right on target.

Richerson said the Bulldogs finished higher than last spring in every tournament, 
including the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championships. There 
they moved up to third from fourth in 1979. "I was quite pleased with the season 
and the results of the MIAA meet," Richerson said.

Kirksville's snowy February hurt the Dogs as they were forced to practice indoors 
while the other MIAA schools were practicing outdoors. "Not playing until March 
hurt because hitting practice balls cannot replace playing," Richerson said.

During spring break the golfers went to Texas to practice and work on their games. 
The trip definitely helped the team, freshman Rick Hercules said. "The trip not only 
gave us a chance to play but we got to know each other better and that gave us the 
team spirit."

The season began with the Lincoln Tournament at Jefferson City, where the 
Bulldogs finished fourth out of 14 teams. At the College Park Tournament, at 
Kansas City, the linksmen took 9th out of 19 teams. The Bulldogs finished 
second at the Culver-Stockton triangular and third at the Missouri Western 
Tournament in St. Joseph.

They finished the regular season with 12th place finishes at the Crossroads of 
America and Heart of America tournaments. In the only dual meet of the season, 
the Bulldogs lost a tight match to Culver-Stockton 303 to 306.

Hercules paced the linksmen with a season average of 77.7 for 18 holes. Senior 
Mark Hatala posted an 80.1 average. Other averages included freshman Mark Murphy's 
80.4, senior Doug Foote's 82.4, and sophomore Tim DeHert's 84.2.

The Bulldogs will lose only two players to graduation. Richerson said, "In order 
for us to improve and not backslide next season, we'll have to add a couple of 
recruits to a good returning nucleus." ECHO

Right on track

Before the start of the season the women's track team was considered a young 
but promising team. As the season came to an end they had already fulfilled 
their promise and were a serious contender for the state championship.

The Bulldogs finished second in the MAIAW state meet, losing to Southeast Missouri 
State University by eight points.

First-year Coach Ed Schneider was not surprised by the team's performance. "I knew 
we had a very talented group, a hard working group. We probably would have won the 
meet but we didn't have anyone entered in the pentathlon."

Freshman high jumper Lori Berquam agreed that the Dogs should have won. "We should 
have gotten first (in the state meet)," Berquam said. "I knew we had a lot of talent 
and wasn't surprised at all that we did so well." Freshman Tracey Rhodes agreed. "I 
thought we did pretty good, but we could have worked a little harder."

The women broke 12 school outdoor records during the season. "There were a lot of 
very good individual efforts," Berquam said. "For the amount of players we had out 
for the team, we did really well."

Schneider said the team's strength did not come from any one area. "Our team was very 
well balanced. We usually scored every event we entered," he said.

Junior Carol Humphries became the second Bulldog ever to compete in the 400-meter 
hurdles at the AIAW National Championships after winning the event in the AIAW 
Region VI Meet. Humphries turned in a time of 59.53 at the regional meet, a new 
school record. She was eliminated in the first round of national competition.

The Dogs' prospects for the next season look good. "We'll lose three quality 
distance runners from this year's team, but the nucleus for a good squad will 
return next season," Schneider said.

Fourteen letter winners are expected back next season. Three key performers in 
distance events next year will be junior Deb Anstey, freshman Benita Simmons, 
and freshman Vicki Kijewski.

Schneider expects several other record holders to return, including junior discus 
thrower Irma Dovin, freshman high jumper Joy Gregory, and freshman javelin thrower 
Hilda Haring.

"Generally speaking, we had a very good year," Schneider said. "I was very pleased 
with the overall attitude of the girls, and they trained hard. I was proud of them. 
They should all be proud of themselves." ECHO

Stretching it -- Freshman Hilda Haring loosens up before a workout at Stokes Stadium. 
Haring threw the javelin for the Bulldogs in 1980, but did not place during the 
conference meet in which the Dogs lost by eight points.

With a two-year championship in men's track and promising talent in women's track, 
both teams were

In the running

Second best
by Joe Stevenson

The third time was no charm for the Bulldogs as they lost their two-time Missouri 
Intercollegiate Athletic Association Outdoor Track Championship trophy to the 
Lincoln University Blue Tigers of Jefferson City by just five points.

The Bulldogs had beaten Lincoln by six points in the indoor meet earlier in the spring, 
but with more events in the outdoor meet. Lincoln's depth proved to be the decisive 
factor.

"We tried to do too much with too few," Coach Ken Gardner said.

Junior long and triple jumper Jim Driscoll agreed when he said, "We spread ourselves too 
thin."

Lincoln also seemed to have a psychological edge, as it was the last meet for their 
coach, Dwight Reed.

The situation coming into the last event of the meet was just the opposite of what it 
had been at the indoor two months earlier. Lincoln went into the last event, the mile 
relay, needing only to get first or second place to win the meet, while the Bulldogs 
had to take first and rely on someone else to beat Lincoln. But that was not to be. 
Lincoln's mile-relay team won the race and the Blue Tigers finished with 137 points, 
to the Bulldogs' 132.

"They were hot," Gardner said. "The better team on that particular day won the meet."

Senior weightman Mike Riley said, "I thought we were going to win it, but they just 
plain old beat us."

Freshman quarter-miler Ray Armstead said, "It (losing) hurt at the time, but we have 
to look onward." 

Onward does not look bad for the Dogs. They will lose three senior All-American sprinters: 
Sterling Bridges, Herb Damper and Riley. Returning, however are three sophomores who were 
conference champs as freshmen: Armstead in the 440, Darren Blair in the high jump and Alec 
Meinke in the shot put.

Armstead edged out Damper in the 400 meter at conference, running a 47.21 to Damper's 47.44.

Bridges turned in a time of 10.78 to win the lOO meter.

Saving the best for last

At first glance, the Bulldog women's softball season may look unspectacular, 
with a record of only 20-19 and only one game over .500. But first glances 
can be deceiving.

The unseeded Dogs won their first MAIAW state title in 1980, coming from 
behind to defeat Central Missouri State University 6-5 in the championship 
game of the state tournament.

"I was very proud of the women," Coach Mary Jo Murray said. "They seemed 
to have it all together at State, coming through with key hits and 
cutting down on errors."

Pitching proved to be the Bulldogs' strong point during the season. The 
pitching staff ended the season with an ERA of 1.70. All three hurlers 
had ERAs below 2.00. Freshman Joan Allison logged a 7-6 record with an ERA 
of 1.87. Junior Deb Thrasher led in wins with eight, and compiled an ERA 
of 1.92.

Sophomore pitcher Cindy loerger had the team's leading ERA of 1.15. She won 
five games and also lost five. She was sidelined for the last three weeks of 
the season with knee problems.

Murray expelled loerger from the team late in the campaign for disciplinary 
reasons.

A new twist -- She usually had a pinch hitter, so batting in the William Woods 
game was a change of pace for reserve infielder Julie Miller. Her season average 
was .200. The Dogs lost the first game of the double header 5-1 but won the 
second 5-0
 

(Page 261)

"She told me that she would probably transfer to another school," 
the coach said. The Dogs had a well-balanced attack. The team batting 
average rose to .273, 55 points higher than last year's .218.

Leading the women at the plate was sophomore Sheryl Arnold with a .391 
average. Arnold also led the team in hits (43), runs (30), runs batted 
in (22), and home runs (3). Senior Lori Adams Buatte contributed a .364 
average, along with 36 hits and 16 runs. Three other players also hit 
above .300.

The Bulldogs demonstrated an inability to win close games, losing eight by 
one run. Had the Dogs won those games, they would have finished 28-11 instead 
of 20-19. Murray attributed that to youth and inexperience. "We were a young 
team with only two seniors," Murray said.

The Bulldogs turned the tables in the MAIAW championships, winning the semifinal 
and final games by one run. The Dogs entered the state tournament unseeded, but 
surprised second-seeded Southeast Missouri State University 4-2 in the opening 
round.

After trouncing No. 3 seed Missouri Western 8-1, the Dogs beat Central Missouri 
State University 2-1 in the semifinal and 6-5 in the championship game.

The Bulldogs won two and lost two at the AIAW Region 6 Tournament held in Emporia, 
Kan., giving them a tie for fifth place in regional competition.

Although the campaign ended well for the Bulldogs, Murray looks for better things to 
come. "We should be stronger in 1981." ECHO

We were a young team with only two seniors -- Murray --

With the MIAA's worst team batting average, earned run average and 
fielding average, the baseball Bulldogs have

Nowhere to go but up 
by Joe Stevenson

It was a record-setting season for the baseball team in 1980, but the 
record set is not one the Bulldogs are likely to be proud of.

Losing the final 13 games of the season, they broke their own record with 
the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The old record set in 
1967 was 11 losses in a row. They finished this year with a 5-21 record.

The team batting average was .226. During the 13-game tailspin the Dogs 
scored three or more runs only once in a 23-6 loss to Wichita State 
University at Wichita, Kan. "We had no power and couldn't hit the 
long ball," Brad Douglas, junior, said.

The Dogs could muster only three home runs and five triples in the year 
compared to the opponents' seven and 12. They were shut out five times 
during the season.

"A lot of our trouble was our failure to get the leadoff batter on base. 
When we didn't do that, it took away our bunt, bunt and run, and hit and 
run opportunities," Douglas said.

Only one player, freshman reserve catcher Danny Bunch, batted over a .300 
mark; his average was .364.

Hitting was not the only weakness of the team. They also finished last in the 
MIAA in pitching and fielding. Their earned run average was 5.74 compared to 
the opponent's 2.45. The defense committed 56 errors to only 44 for the 
opposition.

"For the most part the defense wasn't that bad. It just seemed that there was a 
feeling on the team that somehow when we got into a key situation we would find 
a way to come out on the short end," junior right-hander Larry Lunsford said. As 
a result, they lost eight one-run games.

Waiting for the pitch -- "We were all in a good frame of mind and hungry for a 
win but lost anyway, " said junior Brad Douglas of the doubleheader with NWMSU.

Nowhere to go but up (cont.)

Pain in the mind -- Agony and defeat show on the face of junior Al Nipper 
after the loss to Northwest Missouri State University, 4-1. Tendonitis in 
his right shoulder forced him to miss his next start.

"The experience just was not on the team, and in crucial situations it 
showed," Douglas said. "Once we got into the losing streak, it became 
tough to do anything right."

Junior Al Nipper led the conference in strikeouts with 58 in only 54 2/3 
innings pitched. However, his earned run average ballooned from a nation-
leading 0.98 in 1979 to 3.76. His record was 2-5.

Sophomore left-hander Tom Okruch had the team-leading ERA with a 2.77 in 
12% innings.

Despite the poor ending in 1980, the players are looking forward to the 
1981 season. "We got some experience this year. We will all be a year 
older and should do all right,"Douglas said.

"We had a poor year but we gained experience and will be trying hard to 
correct our mistakes," Lunsford said. "I don't think there is any way we 
can't have a better team."

Split season 
by Greg Wiss and Jim Salter 

In most cases, a team that improved its record from 2-8 to 9-9-1 in one 
year would be pleased. Some Bulldog soccer players, however, were not 
impressed by the record.

"The teams we beat weren't very good," goalie Tom Brown, senior, said. 
"We should have done a lot better." 

"We didn't play too many competitive games," freshman Steve Naumann said. 
"We either played a team we knew we would beat or a team that we didn't 
have a chance against." In their nine wins, the Dogs outscored their 
opponents 51-3, while in their nine losses, the Bulldogs were beaten by 
a combined score of 36-8.

Second-year coach Jeff Wolfe said he thought the team was pleased with the 
season. "We set some high goals for ourselves this season, but everyone was 
pretty excited about the 9-9-1 record."

Several players said there was some dissension and apathy concerning the 
coaching staff, or the lack of one. "Coach Wolfe doesn't have any assistants 
at all," Brown said. "There's just not enough organization. He (Wolfe) has 
too much to do by himself."

Naumann said, "He's very inexperienced. For a college coach he's not 
experienced enough."

Junior Alvaro Azocar said, "He improved a lot over last year but he's got a 
lot to learn. At least he does his best. But a lot of players know more about 
soccer than he does. Some players may not return next year."

Freshman fullback Steve Brewer said he felt that Wolfe did a good job. "I was 
impressed (by Wolfe)," Brewer said.

Teamwork -- Four Bulldog soccer players scramble for the ball during a game here. 
They are, from left to right, Mike Schwartz, goalie Tom Brown, Doug Kleese and 
Salam Mobasher.

In search of a goal -- Following through on a shot to the goal is freshman Lance 
Spears. Spears was one of many new recruits playing for the Dogs in 1980.

Battling for the ball-- Ed Harlow, sophomore, tries to keep the ball away from a 
University of Missouri-Rolla player during a game at Stokes Stadium, where the 
Dogs play their home games.
 

(Page 267)

"He's got a good knowledge of what a team should be."

Wolfe said he thinks the key players will return in 1981.
"Everyone who makes up the good returning nucleus is 
planning on returning next year." Wolfe said.

As for his experience with soccer, Wolfe said he was player, 
coach and president of his soccer club at Central Missouri 
State. He has also been an assistant coach with the St. Louis 
Steamers, a professional indoor soccer team, and has worked 
with Southern Illinois University Coach Bob Guelker. SIU was 
the NCAA Division I national champion in 1979. "I think it 
would be hard to question my experience," Wolfe said.

This year's top three scorers were all newcomers to the team. 
Nauman, along with freshmen Salam Mobasher and Ian Thornton, 
paced the Dogs in that department. Nauman led the team with 22 
points (13 goals, nine assists) followed by Mobasher (10 goals, 
one assist) and Thornton (eight goals, three assists) with 11 
points each.

As goalkeeper, Brown allowed 36 goals while saving 87 shots and 
recording three shutouts. Freshman Jim Bauer had 31 saves, allowed 
eight goals, and finished the season with one shutout.

"It took a lot of hard work and conditioning to achieve this season's 
record," Wolfe said. "We really worked hard and just didn't let up, 
but if we want to get further we'll have to work even harder."

Wolfe expects a good season in 1981. "We want to play about the same 
type of schedule we did this year," Wolfe said. The coach said the 
Bulldogs should be nationally ranked in two or three years if they 
continue to improve as they did this year.

Some players might disagree, but Wolfe considered the year a successful 
one. "There were some disappointments in our schedule," Wolfe said, "But 
as a whole we had a heck of a good year." ECHO

Search for success

"It's the lack of experience that did us in," field hockey coach 
Jo Ann Weekley said. "A lot of the players that went out for the 
team had never played hockey before."

Experienced field hockey players are hard to come by in this area 
of the country. Weekley said there are no high school field hockey 
teams in the state of Iowa. There are none in northeast Missouri. 
"There are no area high schools that play the sport except in St. 
Louis, and everybody wants them (the St. Louis players)."

Sophomore goalie Joan Allison agreed that the Bulldogs need more 
experience. "A lot of our girls have never played before. This is 
not a good area (geographically) for field hockey,"
Allison said.

Despite their lack of experience, the Bulldogs started the season 
well, winning three of their first four games. "After that it was 
all downhill," Weekley said.

Along with their lack of experience, the Bulldogs' poor record can be 
partly attributed to the lack of Division II opponents, Weekley said. 
There are few National Collegiate Athletics Association Division II 
schools with field hockey teams in this area, so the Dogs end up 
playing several Division I teams. "We play a lot of tough competition," 
Weekley said.

A third factor working against the Bulldogs was a lack of depth. Weekley 
said there were only 14 women out for the team, and 11 of them started. 
"I could suit as many as 25," Weekley said.

Despite the season record, Weekley found some bright spots. "We played 
some tough games, particularly against the NCAA Division II national 
champions, Southwest Missouri State (the Dogs lost 3-0), and Northwestern, 
a Division I school (the Bulldogs lost, 4-1)," Weekley said.

Senior center forward Karen Brents led the team in scoring with seven goals. 
Junior forward Kelly Drury scored five goals for the Bulldogs. "I'm hoping 
Kelly and Geri Funke (junior forward) can pick up the scoring slack next 
year," Weekley said.

Weekley said she hopes to recruit some players with high school experience 
next year. "If we can get some experience and good play from our returning 
players next year, we'll be tough," Weekley said.

Even with all of this working against them, Weekley expected a better 
season. "I knew we were young and inexperienced, but I know we could 
have done better," Weekley said. "I wasn't happy with the season." ECHO

The team was plagued with injuries, and the winning streak the Dogs had 
hoped for was

On again, off again 
by Steve Looten

Entering the 1980 season, Bruce Craddock, head football coach, expected his 
team to do quite well. Most of his players were returning from the previous 
year, and a rugged schedule would prepare the Dogs to make a strong bid for 
the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association title.

But one thing that Craddock & Co. did not plan on was injuries. It is not 
uncommon for football players to become injured, but the Bulldogs suffered 
more than their share in 1980. The offensive line, the defensive line, the 
secondary and the offensive backfield all needed to be reconstructed during 
the course of the season. Nearly every starter was forced to miss at least 
one game.

All but one, that is. Eric Holm, senior wide receiver, played every game, 
and played them all well. By the time the season had been completed, Holm 
had rewritten the school and MIAA record books for pass receiving. His 74 
catches were a conference record, and his 900 yards receiving and eight 
touchdowns set University records. He was a unanimous choice for MIAA first 
team wide receiver, and was later named to the Associated Press Little 
All-America second team. He was the only player from either Missouri or 
Kansas to be named to a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 
I-AA, Division II or III, or National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics 
I or II first, second, or third team.

"Making the All-America team was the highest honor Eric could've received," 
Craddock said. "He overcame adversity to really make his presence felt on 
our team. Eric is a quality player."

The Bulldogs had trouble getting through the non-conference schedule, going 1-3 
against four larger opponents. In the opening game, the Dogs won the battle of 
statistics with the Akron University Zips, yet lost the game 31-7. Two weeks 
later the Dogs lost what may have been the most disappointing game of the season. 
With only ten minutes to play, the Bulldogs held a very commanding 20-7 lead over 
Tennessee Tech University. But to the amazement of the large Stokes Stadium crowd, 
Tennessee Tech exploded for three touchdowns and walked away with a 28-20 win.

After a victory over Western Illinois University and a loss to Eastern Illinois 
University, Craddock patched his team together and anxiously awaited the MIAA 
schedule. The Bulldogs appeared to be ready to

fulfill those pre-season dreams, and handed Southeast Missouri State 
University a 13-10 loss.

But from there the Dogs could only win every other week. They lost to 
Central Missouri State University, defeated Northwest Missouri State 
University, lost to Southwest Missouri State University, defeated 
Lincoln University and lost the league finale to MIAA champion, the 
University of Missouri-Rolla. After trailing by as many as 20 points, 
the Dogs lost 20-14.

Against Rolla, the Dogs found what may be the key to the future -- 
sophomore quarterback Bob Zumbahlen. He performed well in the second 
half and nearly led the Bulldogs to an upset of the undefeated Miners. 
The next week he picked up Most Valuable Player honors in the Bulldogs' 
17-14 win over Pittsburg State University in the Moila Shrine Classic 
game in St. Joseph.

"I thought we had a pretty successful year," Craddock said. "It could 
have been better. We lost a lot of close games."

Coming off a 5-6 season, the Dogs find themselves in just about the same 
situation as last year. They have nearly every player returning and will 
again face a very tough pre-season schedule. Next year they will have one 
characteristic they did not have last season, thanks to all the injuries.
Their starters, and even their backups, are experienced. That could make 
the difference and put the Dogs back on top of the MIAA. ECHO

Second string but not second-rate
by Jim Salter

Checking his weights -- Getting in shape for the 1981 season, sophomore Mike 
Morris adjusts the weights.

When Mike Morris was playing center and defensive end for his high school 
football team, the Centerville Big Red, he knew that he could play college 
football. He was 6'3" and still growing, and was heavily recruited.

Debbie Frazier, on the other hand, had few college scouts watching her and 
her Memphis, Mo., high basketball teammates. She did not have one college 
scholarship offer.

But both Morris and Frazier ended up in about the same situation here; they 
are both reserves on their respective varsity sports. And both contribute 
significantly to their team's success.

Morris, now a sophomore, came here in 1979. At first the competition surprised 
him. "When he first got here, he was withdrawn and a little hesitant," offensive 
line coach Rusty Dowling said. "He was a big kid, but I think he was a little in 
awe of the upperclassmen."

Still, Morris started on two of the specialty teams and saw enough playing time 
to earn a letter. Coach Dowling said Morris deserves partial credit for the success 
of 1979 All-American punter Bob Fletcher. "Without Morris' consistently perfect snaps 
from center, I don't know if Fletcher would have been an All-American," Dowling said.

Before the 1980 season, Morris had visions of starting. The coaching staff had moved 
him from center to defensive end. "I thought I could start at defensive end," Morris 
said. "I'm the right size for it and I was confident I had the talent."

But it was not to be. Because
 

(Page 275)

of numerous injuries to the offensive line, Morris was moved back 
to a reserve center role. "When you get moved around as much as I did, 
it's hard to learn all of the plays," Morris said. "It was a little 
discouraging to be working so hard and not start, but it just made me 
want it more."

Wanting it as he did, Morris decided the only way to earn that starting 
spot was to get in shape, specifically by lifting weights. "I can't believe 
how Mike goes at those weights," Dowling said. "Not only does he go to the 
required weight-lifting sessions, but he works on his own all the time. I 
think he really smells it."

Morris also thinks lifting weights will pay off. "When I came here, I weighed 
195 and could only squat 330 pounds," Morris said. Today, Morris weighs 220 
and can squat thrust 510 pounds, a team high.

Coach Dowling said Morris' main contribution to the team is his snapping 
ability. "He is the best long snapper I've ever seen at any college level."

Morris' snaps have been timed at .4 seconds, .1 second better than the pro 
football average. "It's definitely my best asset," Morris said.

"I feel that I ought to be starting next year," Morris said. "I know I've 
got a shot, and I'm working hard. We're going to be tough next year, and I 
want to be a major part of it."

Frazier knows all about working hard. When she went out for the women's 
basketball team here she ran a 9:30 mile. Fine, but one problem: to make 
the team, she had to run a 6:45 mile. "I didn't think there was any way 
I could do it," Frazier said.

Incredibly, Frazier, a freshman, finally did make it. "I've never seen 
anyone cut almost three minutes off a mile," head basketball coach Mary 
Jo Murray said.

Before she made the mile, Frazier quit the team once. But after thinking 
it over for a couple of days, she was back at it. "When she came back, 
she turned over a new leaf," Murray said. "After that I knew she could 
make it."

Murray had seen Frazier play at Memphis High School where she averaged 16 
points and 12 rebounds a game and was named all-conference. "I still wasn't 
sure if she had the talent to play college basketball," Murray said.

Coming to the University without a scholarship, Frazier decided to try to 
walk on. It was then Murray decided the talent was there; it was just a 
matter of getting her into shape. "She wasn't used to working hard because 
she didn't have to in high school," Murray said.

Frazier started the season on the junior varsity squad, usually playing 
forward. "I think forward is her best position," Murray said. After a 
rash of early season injuries hit the varsity team, however, the 5'10"
Frazier was moved up to the varsity as a center.

"Debbie is a little small to be playing center at a college level," Murray 
said, "but she makes up for her size with aggressive play. She doesn't score 
a lot of points, but she pulls down the rebounds and her aggressiveness is a 
plus for the entire team.

As her aggressiveness helps the team, Frazier feels the team is what makes her 
aggressive. "This team just keeps backing you up," she said. "There is no way 
you can get down on yourself. When you see all of these seniors going out and 
working so hard, you just have to be aggressive. They are incredible."

Spread throughout this campus there are hundreds of former all-conference athletes, 
probably even all-state athletes who cannot make the teams here. It is not as easy 
as it looks. As Morris said, "It takes a lot more work than I ever imagined." ECHO

At the line -- Freshman center Debbie Frazier stands at the free throw line during 
practice. Frazier was a walk-on here despite a brilliant high school career.

Just a little short

Short on people
by Jeanne Yakos

Last year they started with 12. This year they started with none.
Coach John Cochrane had no carryover from 1979 to start the cross country team.

Five women came to the rescue. One had come to play basketball, one was a 
junior college transfer, one came to play field hockey, and two were 
freshmen.

Each team must have five members to compete as a team. Because the women never 
all competed together at one time, they went for individual standings only.

Even though they had enough runners to qualify as a team in a meet, due to injuries 
and illness, the women never ran all five members at one time. "You are going to have 
injuries regardless of how you try to coach, because it's the nature of the sport," 
Cochrane said.

He felt the women ran well as a team against Western Illinois with four healthy 
competitors. After that, the women concentrated on individual abilities.

"At times it bothered us that we couldn't compete as a team," Marjorie Hobbs, freshman, 
said. "But we had a good time and hopefully next year we can compete."

Freshman Cindy Springman came across the line first at the state meet, beating a school 
record with 17:56 and taking the state title. She then went to the regional meet and 
qualified for the national meet, placing 10th. Springman avoided injuries all year, but 
in the national meet, 200 meters from the finish line and running in 8th place, her thigh 
bone broke from strain.

"The doctors feel like maybe she had a stress fracture, but her career is in limbo. 
After you break the femur bone, you never know what is going to happen," Cochrane 
said.

"My philosophy for next year is to find some distance runners," Cochrane said. "A prayer 
for good health and more than four runners wouldn't hurt either."

Breaking the tape -- Sophomore Todd Arnold crosses the finish line first for the Bulldogs 
in a cross country meet. Arnold was a standout for the Dogs, and was the only member of 
the team to reach the nationals.

Short on big wins 
by Jim Salter 

After a highly successful regular season, including a 6-0 record in dual meets, the 
Bulldog men's cross country team seemed to fall apart physically and mentally before 
the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championships, finishing fifth out 
of seven teams.

"I was disappointed with our finish at state," Coach Ed Schneider said. "I expected 
us to finish much higher than fifth."

Schneider attributed the team's late-season downfall to injuries. "We had quite a 
few injuries late in the year," Schneider said. "If everyone had been healthy, 
we would have done better." 

Some of the team members felt that the team went into the MIAA meet mentally unprepared. 
"The atmosphere just wasn't like that of the other teams," Todd Arnold, sophomore, said.

Sophomore Brian Hunsaker said, "We had a lack of concentration in big meets."

Schneider disagreed. "We were mentally prepared for every meet. The injuries hurt us, 
but we don't have any excuses for our performance. Everybody ran in the same place. 
We just got beat."

Arnold placed 12th overall at the state meet held at Southeast Missouri State University 
in Cape Girardeau. His time of 34:35 over the 10,000-meter course qualified him for the 
NCAA Division II Championships held in Kenosha, Wis. Arnold placed 116th out of 174 
runners in that meet.

Schneider said the team showed much improvement over last year. "Everyone that ran last 
year improved this year," Schneider said. Junior Norm Clark and Hunsaker were the most 
improved runners, Schneider said. Along with their 6-0 record in dual

the team during the season.

As for next season, Schneider sees even more improvement. "We have a good 
nucleus returning," Schneider said. "We will have a fairly large and 
experienced squad." The Bulldogs will lose only one senior, Dan Barton, 
next season.

Turnabout

What happens the year after a team loses a two-time All American? The 
Bulldog wrestlers posted the same record, but the wins and losses were 
reversed. Although the team dropped one place in the Missouri 
Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships, coach Mark Gervais 
still had faith in the wrestling squad.

The Bulldogs posted a 5-9 dual meet record this season after a 9-5 campaign 
last year. They placed fourth in the Nebraska-Omaha Invitational, third at 
the Graceland College Invitational, and ninth at the Southwest Missouri 
State Invitational.

The highlight of the Bulldogs' season may have been the Miner Classic wrestling 
tournament held at the University of Missouri-Rolla. The Dogs took first place 
at the competition, beating Rolla 30-15, Lincoln 50-3 and the University of 
Missouri-St. Louis 49-3.

The Bulldogs dropped to fourth place in the MIAA championships this year after 
a third place finish last season. "We did better than everyone thought we would 
at conference," Gervais said. Two of the Bulldog wrestlers placed high enough at 
the conference meet to advance to the nationals. Juniors Kurt Clevenger in the 
126-pound class and Whitney Conner in the 167-pound class captured second places 
at the MIAA championships in their respective divisions. Both wrestlers were 
seeded No. 1 in the conference meet.

DeHart placed third in the 177-pound class for the second year in a 
row at the MIAA championships. Sophomore Phil Malloy captured third 
in the 190 class at the conference meet. "We were upset at 118, but 
Phil Malloy did an outstanding job at 190," Gervais said.

Although the squad lost four starters, including Mike Duffy, the 
three-time MIAA champion, Gervais continued to have faith in his 
team. "It's a little distressing at times, but for the most part 
we had fairly good season," Gervais said.

Freshman Curtis Clevenger was not pleased with the season. "It could 
have been better," he said. "We should have won more but we had some 
bad breaks."

Freshman Jeff Bolin, who wrestled at 134 pounds, said, "The main thing 
that hurt us was the youngness of the team. Next year could be good if 
everybody comes out."

DeHart led the team in victories with a 21-7 record. "Tim was the only 
senior on the team and he did a good job of leading the team," Gervais 
said. Kurt Clevenger posted a 16-6 record, while Buddy Manusos, freshman, 
had a 15-10-1 mark wrestling at 118 and 126. Freshman Mike Brown had a 
14-13-1 record and Malloy finished at 14-13. Conner posted a 9-5 overall 
mark.

The 1981 Bulldog wrestling team posted a losing record, failed to win the 
conference championship, but they did gain valuable experience. With the 
season over, Gervais looks toward next season with high hopes. ECHO

Although they finished 13-14, Coach Murray and her players 
felt their record

Could have been better

Coming into the 1980-81 season, the women's basketball team had high 
hopes for an outstanding season. The team had four returning starters 
from the 17-10 team of the year before. That experience looked good 
coming into this year.

Midway through the regular season the team was just a couple of games 
above .500 and everyone expected things to get better. They got worse. 
Near the end of the season, the Bulldogs lost five games in a row and, 
despite winning their last two season games, ended the regular season 
below the .500 mark with a 13-14 record.

"We played very tough competition during the losing streak," Coach Mary 
Jo Murray said. "Even though they were good, we should have beat some 
of them."

The last loss in the streak was a 70-67 setback against nationally ranked 
Moberly Junior College. "I was happy with the way we played against 
Moberly," Murray said. "That game got us back on the winning track."

The fact that the Bulldogs were ever off the winning track was both a 
surprise and a disappointment to Murray, who expected more from the 
senior-laden team. "I think we should have done better, personally. 
We were up and down a lot, very inconsistent."

Two key injuries were one reason for that inconsistency. Senior Marlys 
Welker and freshman Lois Heeren were both expected to see a lot of 
playing time but both were injured early in the season. Murray said she 
tried to get a hardship waiver for

Welker so she can play next year. Welker has been a starter since she 
was a freshman.

Despite the injuries, the players felt the season could have been better. 
"I'm pretty disgusted with the way we played," sophomore Joni Williams 
said. "I don't think as a team we had it all together. We had the material 
but didn't use it at all."

One more reason for the Bulldog's sub-.500 record may have been a schedule 
spiced with several nationally ranked teams. "I purposely made the schedule 
tough because I thought with our experience we could handle it. I don't think 
it was too tough," Murray said.

Williams agreed. "The schedule was good and well-balanced. We should have beat 
several of the teams that beat us."

Although the Bulldogs will lose five seniors, Murray looks to next year with 
optimism for a couple of reasons, one being the junior varsity team's 8-2 
record. "We are fortunate to have such a good JV program," Murray said. "We 
are only allotted five scholarships so it is tough to get really good players 
capable of starting right out of high school. Our JV program allows players to 
work their way up."

Murray is also looking forward to next year for another reason. There is a 
possibility that women's sports here will join the MIAA next year along with 
the men. "It will be a big plus and give the girls more to shoot for," Murray 
said.

Leading scorers for the Bulldogs during the year were 6-1 junior center Carol 
Jarrard with nearly 19 points a game and senior forward Sharon Witthoft, who 
averaged 14 points a game. Jarrard also led the Bulldogs in rebounds with almost 
12 per game.

"Next year we'll build the team around Carol (Jarrard)," Murray said. "Laurie 
Littrell (freshman), will probably have a starting guard spot and the rest of 
the positions will be up for grabs." Murray's first priority while recruiting 
is to get some tall forwards and centers, postitions where the Dogs were almost 
always shorter than their opponents.

With very few returning seniors, it could be said that the lack of experience 
could hurt the Bulldogs next year. But as the team learned this year, do not 
overestimate experience. ECHO

Too close for comfort
by Mike Bronson

The cardiac kids.

It's too bad the NFL's Cleveland Browns used that nickname because it 
would fit the Bulldog men's basketball team perfectly. While improving 
the regular season record to 15-10, 15 of the 25 regular season games 
were decided by two points or less, or went into overtime.

Willard Sims, head coach, said, "I've never been associated with one 
(season) where we've had so many games that were decided by one or two 
points in overtimes, and I can never recall anything like it. It's been 
one of the strangest seasons that way I've ever seen."

After being in so many pressure situations, the team seems to have become 
accustomed to it.

Senior David Winslow said that close games do not really affect him anymore. 
"I've played enough games now that I don't have any pressure. There shouldn't 
be any pressure on me as a senior. I should have been through all that as a 
freshman, sophomore and junior."

Junior Johnnie Wesley said he felt the same way. "I feel good. I don't really 
feel any pressure. I am used to playing in pressure games. Pressure is not 
a problem for me."

Junior Chris Carlson said, "I never feel any pressure. I just get pumped up 
to play real hard."

Even a freshman player, Mark Campbell, has been through

(Page 287)

enough this season that he agreed. "You really don't notice the crowd. 
The intensity level is the big thing. It's a lot greater."

Close games were a different story when the team played in another building 
besides Pershing Arena. According to the Bulldog press guide, in the eight-
team MIAA, NMSU has the second-lowest seating capacity. Therefore, they 
generally play in front of larger crowds on the road.

Some games stand out as being more pressure-packed than others. Junior Leroy 
Carter, Wesley and Campbell agree that the Feb. 7 73-72 overtime loss at home 
against Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg, was the most pressure-
packed game of the year.

Junior Pat Burke said he felt the pressure the most during the Jan. 27 104-99 
double-time victory at home over Grand View, Iowa. "It was double-overtime and 
I was playing and I was at the line (free-throw line)."

Winslow said that he could not choose one game as being more pressured than the 
other games. We struggled to stay in the top four all year, so I think all of the 
ballgames we've played in have been important and all have had pressure."

With a season in which so many games are close, the players ride an emotional roller 
coaster. The players differ on which victory was the most satisfying one.

Winslow said the Quincy (Ill.) College game was the most satisfying because, "I hadn't 
beaten them since I started playing basketball as a sophomore in high school. They beat 
me three times in high school and three times since I've been up here. I mean Quincy High 
beat me three times and Quincy College beat me three times. When we went over there and 
beat them, I think that was the most satisfying victory of the year."

Carter could not decide on one particular game. "A couple of times I had some bad games 
and my teammates came through. Those would have to be the best for me."

The roller coaster goes into valleys also. But apparently there was one mutual low point 
of the season. Most players agreed that the most disappointing game of the year was the 
Feb. 7 loss to CMSU at Warrensburg.

Winslow said, "We felt like we had it when we went into overtime. That would have really 
put us in the thick of things as far as the

top two or three. Right after that one we just all had to gather 
up again and come back strong."

The loss was disappointing for Carter because, "I had fouled out 
and I was on the bench watching. There was nothing I could do."

The Bulldogs played nail-biters against nationally ranked teams such 
as CMSU and Western Illinois University, Macomb. Yet they also played 
close games against teams with .500 or below records, such as Southwest 
Missouri State University at Cape Girardeau.

Sims had a theory about this. "I think it's a question of experience and 
I think there's a lot more balance in basketball than there was in years 
past. Everybody's capable of getting five or six good ball players now, 
and as a result, games are going to be closer. I think our experience in 
playing in close ball games has allowed us to win quite a few more than 
we've lost. We've got a very young ball club and that's another factor 
that enters into it."

Carlson thought age was the main reason. "We're talented enough to beat the 
teams that are more experienced."

Winslow had another reason. "I think we take them for granted and let down. 
We always get up for the big teams. We have a tendency to let down and think 
we can beat them, but that's not always the case."

In a season such as this, fans generally sit up and take notice. When the local 
team wins more than it loses, and plays several close, exciting games, the fans 
come out.

Sims said the fan support during the 1980-81 season was "as good as any year 
we've had, except maybe two years ago when we won the league. This year it has 
been another player for us. They're really outstanding. Several of the big 
games we've won has a great deal to do with the fan situation."

Players do appreciate it. Winslow said, "I think it's really great when the 
crowd gets behind us like that."

Regardless of playing at home or away, the Bulldogs are used to pressure. 
The 1980-81 version was young, with only two graduating seniors: David 
Winslow and Kent Hackamack. A season like the one experienced by Northeast 
has to give confidence for returners next year. ECHO

The volleyball team will lose two players and is already saying

Wait 'til next year 
by Kathy Armentrout

With an overall record of 15-12-1, the women's volleyball team ended the 
season with the best record since the Bulldogs began intercollegiate 
volleyball in 1973.

Head coach Barb Mayhew said she considered the season successful despite 
their performance at the Missouri Association of Intercollegiate Athletics 
for Women state tournament. "The problem was we drew two of the top seeds 
and had to play them in the first round. We played good against them and it 
could have gone either way. We just didn't get the breaks."

Freshman Amy Fuller and junior Sheryl Arnold agreed. "We had to play Northwest 
(Missouri State University, No. 1 seed) first and got beat. Then we were down 
in the second match," Fuller said.

Arnold said the poor performances were due to pressure. "When we played 
the third match (against Southeast

Missouri State University) there was no pressure and we played l00 
percent better." The Bulldogs had already been eliminated from advancing 
in the tournament.

Mayhew said the team was also hurt by injuries. For two weeks during the 
season six players were out of action because of injury or illness. She 
also said several of their defeats came during this period. The team worked 
well together and she substituted frequently during the season. Fuller said 
she thought the team sometimes ran into difficulty in that area. "When we 
played as a unit very few teams could beat us. But when we were not 
concentrating and working together, then we got beat," Fuller said.

Mayhew is optimistic about the future. The young team will only lose senior 
Kay James and junior Marta Zucca, who has played out her eligibility. A player 
can only play a sport for four years in college. "We have some promising young 
players such as freshman hitter Tracy Ivanesky," Mayhew said. Both Zucca and 
Ivanesky were selected for the All-Tournament team at the state tournament.

Players are also looking forward to next season. "I think it was a successful 
season, but more of a successful season for next year," Arnold said. Fuller 
said the team gets better every year.

Arnold summed up the optimistic hopes for next season. "We should be the best 
next year and we're going to try for first in the state," Arnold said. ECHO

Final score
by Jim Salter

.493

That was the overall winning percentage for the 18 varsity sports during 
1980. The Bulldogs compiled a total record of 126 wins, 130 losses and two 
ties during the year (not including tournaments where more than two teams 
competed at once).

The sports world is one of statistics and numbers. There are certain magical 
numbers that every sport and player strives for. A .299 hitter is run-of-the-
mill, a .300 hitter, a star.

As for teams, the .500 mark is considered the point of respectability. According 
to that, the Dogs fell just short in 1980.

The Bulldog women fared better than the men. The women finished the year with a 
64-60-1 record (.516 winning percentage) compared to the men's 62-70-1 (.469).

The indoor teams enjoyed a more productive season than the outdoor sports. The 
indoor sports won 59, lost 48, and tied one game for a winning percentage of .551. 
The outdoor sports did not do so well, finishing the year with 67-82-1 (.427).

There were two undefeated teams.

The men's cross country team was 6-0 in dual meets, but only mustered a fifth-place 
finish in the conference meet.

The women's track team was also undefeated, finishing 1-0 in duals. The only 
team to win a conference championship was the women's basketball team, which 
compiled a 17-10 record.

Field hockey had the worst record of the varsity teams, ending the season with 
10 losses in a row to finish 3-14 (.177). The baseball team set a conference 
record by losing 13 games in a row. They ended the season with a .192 winning 
percentage

There were some positive notes, however. The volleyball team ended the season 
with its best record since 1973 at 15-12-1. The soccer team, in its second year 
of existence, finished right on the .500 mark with a record of 9-9-1. They were 
2-8-1 in 1979.

Aside from winning the Missouri Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for 
Women title, the softball team also won 20 games, which is more than any other 
varsity sport. A major reason for the success of the team was the pitching staff, 
which compiled an impressive 1.70 earned run average.

The two major sports generating the most interest and money are men's basketball 
and football. During 1979-1980 the men's basketball team was 12-14 (.462). That 
is well below its cumulative winning percentage. Since men's basketball was first 
played here in 1919, the overall record has been 726 wins and 503 losses for a 
winning percentage of .591. The roundballers enjoyed their best years in 1947 and 
1948, compiling records of 30-2 and 29-2, respectively.

The football team improved its record to 5-6 (it was 4-7 in '79). An improved passing 
attack was a major reason for the improvement. The Dogs, using three different 
quarterbacks, were second in the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 
passing, averaging 182 yards a game.

All-America wide receiver Eric Holm, senior, led the conference in receiving with 
74 catches for 900 yards and eight touchdowns. Teammate Greg Himmelman, sophomore, 
was second with 39 catches for 504 yards and one TD. The Bulldogs gained 3,007 yards 
or 1.7 miles in total offense. They gave up 3,218 yards, 1.8 miles. Who says that 
football is a game of inches?

The 5-6 mark brought the football team's overall record to 363-219-35, a winning 
percentage of .624 since football was first played here in 1900. Clearly, the 
University has a deep tradition in the two big sports.

There are an infinite number of figures and statistics for sports. Despite 
something of an off-year during 1980, the figures are good overall. And numbers 
do not lie. ECHO

Keeping their heads above water
by Kathy Armentrout

Checking the charts -- Head swimming coach Donovan Conley looks over 
his charts during a practice. Conley coached both men and women.

Though the men's swimming team record only improved from 4-3 to
5-4, the winning season was an unexpected surprise to Coach 
Donovan Conley.

"From the outlook at the beginning I expected to have a .400 season at 
best. They really surprised me," he said.

The team lost three key swimmers from last year and lacked team depth. 
"We had a pretty good season for the number of swimmers we had," junior 
Chuck Hall said. There were only eight swimmers and one diver out this 
year compared to 12 swimmers and three divers last year.

Early in the year the number was decreased further by ineligibility, 
illness and other commitments swimmers had. Junior Tom Reed and senior 
Dave Fraseur both joined the team after Christmas break. Reed had been 
academically ineligible during the fall semester and Fraseur was student 
teaching. Conley also said he "did not have a healthy team" early in the 
season. The team went to the first meet with only five swimmers.

"We knew our shortcoming was our lack of depth, so we had to make 
up for it by improving our quality. Basically that's what we did," 
Conley said.

In an effort to improve quality, maintain continuity and keep the 
swimmers in shape, the team took a trip to Florida over Christmas 
break. "If the swimmers go home we lose continuity. The trip was 
aimed at overcoming our lack of depth," he said. The team trained 
together while there.

The trip seemed to pay off; the team went 4-1 in dual meets during the 
spring semester. "We've been swimming really good lately," Hall said. 
"We've had better swims than last year with a lot fewer swimmers."

The season proved more favorable than expected. "We weren't expecting a 
winning season. A lot of swimmers didn't go out," freshman Matt Foss 
said.

"I feel good about the past year. The team was dedicated and their 
accomplishments speak for themselves," Conley said.

Conley also said he expects the men to have their best times of the year at 
the conference meet in March but he does not expect to win. "We know where 
we stand in the conference. We can only achieve our personal bests. Our first 
would be a fourth place," Conley said.

Regarding next year Conley said the outlook was "questionable." The team will lose 
two of its most outstanding swimmers because of graduation. There will be returning 
swimmers next year but depth will be a problem again. Conley said part of the problem 
is recruiting good swimmers.

Hall got to the heart of the problem. "With so few swimmers, you go out, 
swim your best and hope for the best." ECHO

Getting their feet wet 
by Kathy Armentrout

Before the season started, the goal of the women's swimming team was to have 
the first winning season since the sport began four years ago. They accomplished 
that goal by finishing 7-1 in dual competition and moving from a sixth-place 
finish in the Missouri Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women 
championships last year to a third-place finish this year.

"We had a great season. We were really happy," junior Laura Schaff said.

In the 1980 portion of the season the Bulldog swimmers posted a 2-0 dual mark 
and placed second in the Pioneer Relays at Grinnell, Iowa. "I don't think there 
was a better way we could've ended 1980," Coach Donovan Conley said.

At the start of the spring semester freshman Kathy Fasching joined the team. 
Conley said he expected her to make a definite contribution for the rest of 
the season and she proved a valuable asset in several victories in the spring. 
She also set two new pool records and swam on a record-breaking relay team. As 
a team the women broke eight school records during the season.

intensive workouts and new recruits. "We worked out more intensely. 
We lifted weights and had three morning workouts a week." She also said 
more freshmen joined the team and everyone got along well, which helped 
everyone to get their best times.

"It seems like we had everything together," junior Tammy Lubbert said "As 
a team we wanted what was best for the team.

Fasching was also happy with the season and the team's performance at State. 
"We really did good as a team. Performance-wise we were more confident than 
we have been," she said.

The team's biggest problem this year was lack of depth, especially in the area 
of diving. "We're a pretty small team. We need more depth, mostly divers," Schaff 
said. The lack of divers caused the team to compete without a diving squad at the 
Miracle Relays in Grinnell, Iowa, where they finished fourth. "We had the strongest 
swim team there," Conley said, "Unfortunately, without any divers that wasn't enough."

Streb also felt the shallow diving squad contributed to the loss to Central Missouri 
State University.

"The one team we lost to, we beat in the water, but they beat us with diving," Streb 
said.

Prospects for next season look good. The team will lose three seniors but recruitment 
for next year has already begun. The team expects to improve as the team and program 
develop. Schaff said, "We're building confidence as a team. If we go into a meet 
thinking we can win, it makes it easier to win." ECHO

Ready for the big time
by Ron Pierceall

The Rugby Club has been in existence for almost eight years, even 
though it is not a varsity sport. Because of this, it encounters 
problems that other varsity sports do not. The problems include 
popularity, scheduling, officiating, and even places to practice. 
The biggest problem is finances.

The Rugby Club has asked the University for help. Senior Dave McKinney, 
president of the club, said in 1979 the University accepted soccer as a 
varsity sport and gave it a budget of $5,000. At the same time, the Rugby 
Club was seeking admission to the varsity level while asking for a $500 
budget. The soccer team received its budget. The Rugby Club did not.

Breath saver -- Mark Unland, sophomore, uses a time-out to catch his breath 
while he waits to throw the ball in.

Line out -- Rugby Club players wait in a line-out for the ball to be thrown 
in after it has gone out of bounds. Throwing the ball in starts the game 
again.
 

(Page 299)

Ken Gardner, athletic director, said it was a question of which sport 
would do better as far as recruitment and student interest. He said, "We 
asked ourselves 'What will having a rugby team do for NMSU?'"

President Charles McClain said, "The sports budget has been stretched with 
the addition of women's sports and it was a matter of student interest. I 
think soccer is the future, but certainly rugby is in that class, too."

The Rugby Club has solved most of its problems by becoming an associate member 
of the Heart of America Rugby Union. The union guarantees officiating and makes 
scheduling a lot easier. But rugby is only now beginning to grow, which means 
that many schools do not have a rugby team.

The players pay their own travel expenses. The team has about 30 players, but 
only 15 are required on the field and no substitutions are allowed, barring 
injuries. So the whole team does not always go to the games, making more 
expenses for those who go.

McKinney said rugby has a lot to offer. He described the game as a gentleman's 
sport and said rugby does not have the injuries normally associated with football. 
McKinney believes that rugby "could draw a lot bigger crowd than football because 
the action is a lot more intense."

The popularity of the sport may help the team receive varsity status. And students 
realize the problems of the slow-growing popularity of rugby. Junior Brent Hudson 
said, "Rugby isn't the type of sport native to the area, so people are hesitant to 
accept it."

Junior Jorge Gallegos said if students were exposed to the sport, they would appreciate 
it. "It's a rough, clean sport. People don't understand the game. If they knew what was 
going on in the sport, they'd enjoy it."

Apparently, people in other areas of the United States are starting to accept the sport. 
McKinney said the sport is growing in the North and Midwest, in size as well as in 
popularity. Local popularity may be the only way to ease the financial crunch and may 
even help the Rugby Club compete on a varsity level, he said. ECHO

A shot in the dark

This University has a top-ranked team and few have heard of it.

The rifle team, which ranked 12th out of 96 schools in the state two 
years ago and sixth out of 78 last year, ranked fourth this year in a 
non-varsity meet.

Sgt. Preston Holmes, coach of the rifle team, blamed the University. 
"The reason we have no publicity is because the University refuses to 
fund us," Holmes said.

Until this year the rifle team was varsity, Holmes said. Due to budget 
cuts, however, one sport had to be dropped from varsity level, and the 
rifle team was given the axe, he said.

Still, the rifle team continued to compete. ROTC sponsored 75 percent of 
their activities, provided weapons, ammunitions and other equipment. The 
University continued to provide transportation and meals for the team 
members.

Despite the lack of recognition, team members continued to put out a lot of 
effort. "The team really works hard," Holmes said. "They lift weights to build 
the muscles to support the 20-pound guns. Holding those guns up for two hours 
at a time is not always easy."

Without varsity victories to shoot for, one goal of the rifle team was getting 
its National Rifle Association instructors license. This enables the team to 
teach Kirksville High School students the fundamentals of shooting firearms.

Holmes was not optimistic about the possibility of the team competing on a varsity 
level in the future. "No matter how much we win, the University will never re-admit 
us as a varsity sport on this campus."

The team members felt their sport was worth the trouble.

Senior Charles Cooper said, "We get no credit for winning except a pat on the back 
from the coach, but it is worth it to us. ECHO

Laying out -- The prone position that freshman Mark Lehde is in allows him to hold the 
rifle firmly to make a more accurate shot.

get his target in focus before shooting.

Crowd connection

U-G-L-Y 
You ain't got no alibi,
You're ugly.
Momma says you're ugly!

The cheerleading squad has a lot of basic cheers and a lot of cheers that 
take gymnastic skills. But their most popular cheers are the unique, off-
beat, sometimes off-color ones.

"Those cheers are usually started by the crowd or the band," Karen Turnbough, 
sophomore cheerleader, said. "We don't start those kind of cheers but if it 
will get the crowd involved, we pick it up."

Kevin Harris, senior and a member of the band, said, "We feel that the band 
is the biggest cheering organization on campus. It's a tradition for us to 
help the cheerleaders."

Freshman Brent Fadler, another band member, agrees. "I don't think people 
realize the time the band puts in for the music and the cheers," he said.

The band elects their own cheerleader for the football season. This year seniors 
Jim Cowles and Bob Long shared the responsibility.

"On those off-beat cheers, everything is spontaneous as far as we're concerned," 
sophomore cheerleader captain Pam McDaniel said. "The fraternities start a lot 
of them and then try to out-do each other. The crowd really enjoys them."

As popular as the off-beat type cheers are, the cheerleaders do not make up their 
own or practice them. "The administration doesn't think it's proper etiquette," 
McDaniel said. "It can show pretty bad sportsmanship. But if they're not overused, 
they can be fun."

Cheerleading itself is not all fun. The cheerleaders practice an hour and a half 
two days a week. During football season they practice during evenings also.

"It's pretty hard work," Mike Markus, senior, said, "but it's worth it. I just 
wish we had a little more incentive." 

There is not one dollar allotted for cheerleading scholarships here. Many cheerleaders 
are angry about this and about the fact that they receive no class credit for their 
work. "We could be better if we had a class and class time to work," McDaniel said.

Still, McDaniel is impressed with the squad. "I think NMSU cheerleaders have come a 
long way," McDaniel said. "I'm proud of our performance. I think we have gotten more 
involved and are doing a better job of bringing the crowd closer to the team."

With cheers like, "Apples, peaches, pears and eggs. Maryville players shave their legs," 
how can they fail? ECHO

Out of the money
by Talley Sue Hohlfeld

"I don't think that I'm asking for something that's unreasonable and 
that's not within his (Athletic Director Ken Gardner's) power to 
change," swimming coach Donovan Conley said.

Conley, who coaches both men's and women's swim teams, has a recruiting 
problem, he said. The men's team has no athletic scholarships, while the 
women's team has three.

Conley said he feels there is a direct correlation between scholarships and 
recruitment. "I'm finding no trouble recruiting girls that I feel to be very 
competitive within our conference on tuition (scholarships), although it is 
possible to get swimmers for the men's team to compete without scholarships."

Conley feels that although he can recruit men's team swimmers, the dedication 
that exists in scholarship players is missing on the team. "When you don't have 
them on scholarship, you don't have that kind of committment from them."

That lack of commitment will hurt the swim team evenutally, Conley said. "In 
the future, the women's program will move beyond the men's. I don't think that 
we (the men's team) will be able to effectively compete with other teams in the 
MIAA (Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association). The friction which may exist 
between the men's and women's teams will grow because of the improvements in the 
women's team."

Mark Mullin, assistant swim coach, said that friction does exist, although "it doesn't 
make bad blood."

Conley agreed that it has not been a large problem. "We've been able to handle it." 
But the morale

"I don't think that it's unreasonable for men and

Hard at work -- Athletic Director Ken Gardner concentrates on his duties. Three sets 
of rules cause scholarship inequities between men's and women's sports.

Taking note -- Looking over his notes, swim coach Donovan Conley works in his office.

(Page 305)

problem exists, he said, possibly strengthened by the fact that 
both teams share coaches and practice times.

"Some of the men feel, not exactly that they're being discriminated 
against, but they don't feel that they're being treated fairly. There's 
a feeling of jealousy, not toward the girls, but more toward the athletic 
department. The men want to have the same caliber team, and will blame 
it on the school program. It affects their whole attitude and outlook, 
the way they work."

Conley lays the blame for the lack of scholarship funds at the feet of 
the athletic director and the University. "If the University wants to 
take the responsibility of another sport (swimming started in the fall 
of 1977), then it's the University's responsibility to make sure that 
that sport is dealt with fairly within the athletic program and conference. 
Something needs to be done in the near future if the school wants a swimming 
program that can compete with the other schools in the conference." Conley 
said the responsibility for that action is the athletic director's. "I think 
it's the athletic director's job to see that there is a well-balanced program."

Gardner said the reason swimming and soccer have no scholarship funds is that 
both are relatively new to the program. (Soccer was added in the fall of 1979.) 
He had been distributing men's scholarship funds according to a fairly standard 
ratio. When the two sports were added, the ratio was upset and will take time to 
be reworked, he said.

"I can understand that to a certain extent," Conley said. "Gardner is in a dilemma." 
He said new developments in scholarship restriction by the MIAA have given him reason 
to think that swimming scholarships are possible despite Gardner's problems.

The MIAA allows a school to give scholarships totaling up to 68 times its cost for 
tuition, room, board and books. For this University, this would be a potential of 
$112,336. However, the University only uses 63 scholarships, a loss of $8,260.

The conference also dictates a maximum allowable amount for football and basketball. 
Just before the year started, the allowable maximum for football was increased five 
scholarships, and NMSU scholarships were increased by four.

Conley said he was under the impression that the MIAA had increased the allowable 
football scholarships by 10, which he thought would increase the total allowable 
amount also. "This is an area I can see for swimming to get in on it (the scholarship 
program)."

Gardner said, "We're limited in the men because the only way (to increase a sport's 
funds) is to take it away from another sport. I told the swimming coach, 'If you can 
find someone who won't mind giving up some of their scholarship money, I'd be happy 
to.'" Gardner has not redistributed funds himself because "I don't feel justified" 
in taking scholarship money away from another sport.

Football coach Bruce Craddock said, "It's a sad state of affairs to take away from 
one sport to give to another. You can't compare it between our guys at this school. 
It's who you're going against."

Craddock said the scholarship funding here, when compared to other schools in the 
conference, is low, even in football. All other schools in the conference have gone 
to 45 scholarships except the University of Missouri-Rolla, which subsidizes its funds 
with mining and engineering scholarships, Craddock said. "There's no way we can be 
competitive. That's the thing, for us to be competitive in all areas of sports." 
Administrative support is the most important solution, Craddock said. "The thing is, 
what kind of a football team do they want?"

The inequity in swimming scholarships is most evident when comparing men's and women's, 
Conley said. "I don't think that it's unreasonable for men and women to be equal. My 
understanding (of Title IX) is that men's and women's sports having similar programs 
are to be allocated similar funds."

Title IX, a government policy adopted to insure equality between men's and women's 
programs, requires a percentage-based split of funds. For the University, a 70-30 
split in athletes results in $44,138 for women. These funds, although less than half 
of what the men's funds are, are divided into 29 full scholarships and eight tuition 
scholarships. (The Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women only allows 
tuition and room and board to be included in scholarships -- no books.)

Men's funds are divided into 66 1/2 full scholarships and 14 tuition scholarships. 
(The MIAA allows tuition, room and board and books to be included in scholarships.)

The women's scholarships are divided among eight sports. The men's are divided among 
seven sports. However, the top two men's sports, football and basketball, take 51 
scholarships, leaving only 15 1/2 scholarships to be divided among five sports, not 
including swimming and soccer.

"Let's face it," Gardner said. "The two sports are football and basketball. The rest 
of them are extra sports. We cater to the community. We have to to a certain degree. 
We have tried to help everyone a little bit. We happen to be maybe the only school in 
the entire conference that has tried to help all the sports in men's sports."

Conley said, "I realize that swimming is not at the top of the sports program. But I 
don't think I'm asking for something that's unreasonable. Gardner has told me that 
there isn't much of a chance (for a quick solution). It's a touchy situation." ECHO

More than just a game
by Greg Wiss

Three, two, one. The buzzer sounds as the ball goes through the basket 
and the players go wild. This is not a Bulldog basketball game, but an 
intramural game where the competitiveness is just as fierce as a Missouri 
Intercollegiate Athletic Association game.

"The main goal of the intramural program is to provide opportunities for 
students and faculty to participate in various recreational sports, but 
the sports are definitely more competitive than recreational," Jack Bowen, 
director of intramurals, said.

"The total program is more competitive than we would like it to be," Bowen 
said. The intramural program consists of 34 activities for both men and 
women. Only 10 events are co-recreational.

"Basketball, softball and volleyball are the most popular sports, in that 
order," Bowen said. More than 90 teams participated in the basketball 
tournaments. "We always have a good turnout in these three events, but they 
tend to be very competitive each year," he said.

Junior Phil McNabb participated in all three events and agreed with Bowen. 
"Intramural basketball, softball and volleyball are always very competitive," 
McNabb said.

Team sports such as basketball or volleyball are divided into three divisions. 
The All-Sports Division consists of organizations on campus, mostly fraternities, 
who want to win the All-Sports Trophy. "This

division is highly competitive," Bowen said. Division B is composed of 
teams that are slightly less competitive than the teams in the All-Sports 
League The other division, for players even less competitive, is 
Division C.

Competition exists in all three divisions, because winning and being competitive 
is the biggest part of intramural sports on most levels, senior Craig Hartman said. 
He participated in softball in League A and in basketball in League B. "The 
competitiveness is just about the same in both leagues," Hartman said.

Injuries are always present in situations where players are competitive. Most of 
the injuries occur in the more competitive sports and leagues. "Any time you have 
people running and jumping you are going to have some really serious injuries," Bowen 
said. "We have been pretty lucky this year with no really serious injuries, except for 
a couple of incidents."

Intramurals may not be comparable to winning the MIAA conference, but the taste of 
victory is just as sweet, the competition just as fierce. ECHO

Dying to play
by Larry Fiore 

Your target: height: 5 feet, 8 inches; weight: 160 pounds; hair: black; 
eyes: blue; code name: Panda.

For players of the latest college craze, these statistics, plus their 
dart guns, are all they have when hunting down their target in a game 
called Killer.

Killer combines the excitement of a James Bond movie, the intelligence 
of a Sherlock Holmes novel and the luck of an Inspector Clouseau case. 
Its players do not sit around a board and play against each other face 
to face. It is instead, as one player put it, a "big game of tag."

Students here have recently begun their own game of Killer. Mark Lehde, 
one of the organizers of the game on campus, said, "The game pits an 
assassin, as the killer is called, against his target, which is the name 
of the player on his information sheet. Using only a dart gun, he has seven 
days in which to find his target and shoot him with the dart. The target is 
only safe in three places: his room, his place of employment and at the classes 
he attends. If the assassin is unsuccessful in eliminating his target within 
the time period, he is dropped out of the game. The

(Page 311)

last remaining assassin alive is the winner."

Lehde, a sophomore from St. Louis, said the game is extremely popular on 
the East and West coasts and is now spreading to the Midwest after starting 
at the University of Florida.

The students at that university, generally regarded as the headquarters for 
the game, have devised their own organization known as KAOS (Killer As 
Organized Sport). KAOS sends out the official rules of Killer to campuses 
across the country and even has its own constitution.

Lehde is not surprised at the number of people interested in the sport. He 
said it is the ultimate game of wits.

"Your fate is completely in your hands. It makes you aware of what's going on 
around you and how imaginative you can be. Half the fun is just trying to devise 
a way to kill your victim and get away with it."

Although Lehde does not take part in the actual playing of the game, he is in charge 
of assigning assassins their targets and of keeping a record of who is alive. He also 
kills assassins who do not meet their seven day deadline.

"Of course, I'd much rather be playing, but someone has to control the game, and since 
I was one of the organizers of Killer on campus, the job fell into my hands."

Actually, Lehde and three other students cooperated to bring KAOS to campus. Sophomore 
Scott Field said he and a friend read about it in Playboy magazine. "Dick Gardner and 
I were reading the article on it about the same time as Mark and his friend. It really 
was a coincidence that all four people decided at the same time to start a game here at 
school. Besides, we needed something to pass the time and Killer seemed to be a great 
idea."

A preliminary contest called Dorm Wars took place and consisted of two different groups 
openly facing each other with dart guns. The teams would chase each other throughout the 
dorm, running up and down the hallways, staircases and anything else that could be trod 
upon. It was, in Gardner's words, "an exhibition Killer."

The trial game of Killer started with 33 people and ended Feb. 19 after a gunfight in 
Missouri Hall. Mike King, freshman, gunned down Jean Henne, sophomore.

"I'm glad to see this game end because we've got to get ready for

the next one," Lehde said. The next game will include a revision of the rules, an entry 
fee of $2 and will be sponsored by Phi Kappa Theta social fraternity.

So far Killer has proved to be successful here, but Lehde and the others are quick to see 
what pitfalls might be in the way. "In a game where there is violence taking place, someone 
usually wants to put a stop to it," Lehde said. Fortunately, the players know enough not to 
take the game too seriously.

"Some people think it is childish to run around with dart guns and try to shoot each other.
In fact, some think we're practicing to be junior hit men, but I don't think it's any more 
of a problem than saying kids who play 'Risk' want to be Napoleon or Hitler and take over 
the world."

Lehde says the administration has been receptive to the game and has even allowed a score 
sheet to be posted on a bulletin board just inside the Administration/Humanities building. 
"The only trouble we had so far has been a few people in the dorms who look at us as some 
lunatic bunch. Already for the next game, though, we have about lOO people signed up." ECHO

Organizations

Sometimes we chose to express ourselves through organizations. By joining them, 
we gave up some of our individuality and were recognized in return. Sometimes 
choices were made for organizations. In order to receive a charter, the Muslim 
Student Association was forced to drop the stipulation in its constitution stating 
that active membership was open only to those of the Muslim religion. Some chose 
not to express themselves through organizations. After pledging a sorority or 
fraternity, a few found Greek life was not for them. Some chose to express themselves 
through organizations. Whether it was a group of three, such as the Ham Radio Club, 
or Alpha Phi Sigma, which took a pledge class of 126 in the fall, we still chose to 
become part of THE COMPOSITE CHOICE.

GAINing insight

After an outbreak of alcohol incidents in the 1980 academic year, an organization 
set out to educate members of the Greek system about the dangers of alcohol. This 
was the goal of the Greek Alcohol Interest Network.

Senior Karla Carver, GAIN president, said GAIN was started in November 1979 by the 
University administration.

"GAIN was not started because of any one single event. It was started mainly out 
of concern for alcohol abuse within the Greeks. Letters were sent to the fraternity 
and sorority presidents inviting them to send a representative to participate in 
GAIN," she said.

Junior JoEllen Johns, GAIN member, said she was asked to be a member of the group 
by her sorority. "I took the position, but I did not know what to expect. I am 
now very much

involved in the group. They educated out alcohol at first so we could try 
to educate others

I think the University has a genuine interest in GAIN. I do not think it was something 
started to make the University look good. the Greeks themselves reap all the benefits 
and publicity. I think GAIN is important to Greeks," she said.

Junior Cliff Millam said he volunteered for GAIN, but he did not have much interest at 
first, "I think GAIN will help give greeks a better and more proper image. We might not 
change things, but we can give it a try," he said.

GAIN's main program so far has been a drinking experiment during the spring of 1980. 
"We had some Greek men and women agree to a test on alcohol and its effect on 
reactions," Carver said.

Each member was tested on activities such as balance and visual depth perception before 
they drank, and then they were tested after each drink. Their performances before they 
drank were average because of lack of knowledge about the tests, and possibly because 
of apprehension. Charts were kept to follow the reactions of each participant.

The results showed that the participants' reactions became better after the first 
and second drink, but their performances worsened each drink after the third.
The experiment was filmed for further study.

Carver said the group is planning some new activities. One activity is a survey 
which quizzes a person on how much, how often, and for what reasons he drinks.
"This is given to see if there is a drinking problem on this campus. We are also 
planning a poster campaign with CAP -- Cork Alcohol Problems. This is the 
independents' alcohol interest network," she said.

They are also planning a program on the Wednesday of Greek Week to further educate 
Greeks.

Keith Syberg, administrative assistant to the dean of students and overseer of GAIN, 
said, "Our people gave a workshop at the University of Missouri-Columbia. We showed 
them our film on the drinking experiment and we told them the background of how we 
started. They were impressed by our program. GAIN is not a fixture at very many 
universities."

Former member Dave Ogden, senior, said GAIN had a lot to offer Greeks on responsible 
drinking. He also said GAIN was and still is hurt by a lack of publicity on campus 
and around Kirksville.

"GAIN needs to get the school officials involved in their programs. We held the drinking 
experiment, but we didn't seem to pursue any results. The group should also try to take 
in younger members so that they can come back and keep some continuity. I am basically 
satisfied with the actions of the group," Ogden said.

Sophomore Alpha Kappa Lambda member Tim Duggan, not a member of GAIN, said he learned 
about the group through his fraternity. "I think it is a good program but I don't think 
some people take GAIN as seriously as they should. I think they should advertise through 
the campus media instead of trying to give statistics.

Carver said that the overall value of GAIN is immeasurable She said GAIN can only inform 
Greeks. "We cannot make them listen or believe what we say."

Syberg summed up the goal of GAIN when he said, "We don't want to stop Greeks from 
drinking. We only want Greeks to know how to drink responsibly." ECHO

AKL wild life
by Carla Robinson

Midnight; midway between dusk and dawn. This hour may not signify anything 
to many at a fraternity party. At the Alpha Kappa Lambda house, if the mood 
is just right, an event takes place which might be referred to as an AKL 
trademark.

During the course of the night, if the party is good, a number of men are sure 
to get hyped up and begin rounding up other AKLs for what is fondly called 
ottering, junior AKL member Don Giltner said.

"The first time I saw it I thought someone was falling (down the stairs)," Giltner 
said. He soon learned his future AKL brothers were purposely sliding down the stairs 
on their bellies to end up in a pile at the foot of the stairs.

Mike Schwend, junior AKL, recalled the first time he witnessed the event. "I thought 
there was a fire or something." He was attending a rush party deciding which fraternity 
to pledge. "All these guys, all of a sudden, started rushing toward the stairway," 
Schwend said. After watching the otter, he said, "I thought, 'This is the frat for me.' 
Not just because of the ottering, but because it taught me a lot about the guys. They all 
get together and do things."

Generally the otter is done lying on the stomach. It begins at the six pack, a group of 
six bedrooms on the second floor. The group of AKLs begins its way down the first flight

toward the next flight of stairs to repeat the process.

Downstairs -- Paul Smith, senior, waits to let Brian Greif and 
graduate Paul Yates finish their otter.

Among them is the pyramid otter. The participants pile on top of 
one another in pyramid fashion and slide down the stairs.

Two types of backward otters are done. One is done lying on the back, 
feet first. The other is on the back also, only it is done head first. 
"The headfirst backward otter is pretty risky and not many try it," 
Giltner said.

Because there are risks involved in ottering, the AKLs do not use it as 
a competition, thereby avoiding would-be injuries. "It would be a 
dangerous sport," Schwend said.

A 1975 graduate, Paul Yates, recalled the time when Denny Loftus, a 1972 
graduate, tried to make a sport of ottering by trying to set a record. He 
paid for it.

Loftus said he could otter down the stairs faster than anyone. He took a 
flying leap and landed at the bottom of the stairway. "There's a picture 
with him holding his two front teeth," Yates said.

Giltner said the AKLs visited the AKLs of Normal College in Illinois. "Some 
of those AKLs had been here and seen the otter. They thought it was a good 
time also. In all about 50 AKLs of both chapters ottered down the stairs of 
the AKL house at Normal. It was pretty profitable," Giltner said. After the 
otter he found about $20 in change on the stairwell.

And then there was the "All Time Otter," Schwend's favorite otter memory. At 
Stokes Stadium during the 1978 Homecoming game, Schwend said the AKL alumni, 
actives and pledges ottered down the concrete steps of Stokes, from the top 
clear down to the bottom.

Giltner admits his parents think he is crazy for doing it. Most of his friends 
from home think it is funny. "It's just a way of us bonding together," he said. 
"It's generally considered good by other Greeks, although no other fraternity 
currently has an activity like it."

No one really knows just when the ottering tradition began. Sometime between 
1960 and 1970 there was an AKL party. As the evening progressed, a group of 
men began to discuss an idea. As the hands of the clock approached midnight, 
they bellied down the stairway . . . and the first otter was born. ECHO

Bedtime tales

Once upon a time there was a Phi Kappa Theta pledge class that had an 
idea unique to this campus. They sought to bring back the popularity of 
an act that nearly every child learns to reject during adolescence, and 
at the same time make a few bucks.

Despite having gone years without the nightly ritual of a bedtime story 
and good-night kiss, about 200 women signed up to re-enact that same 
process with one minor difference. The story-teller/kisser was not a 
father or mother figure one relates with such activities.

The Phi Kap fall pledge class made tucking in their money-making project 
and it turned out to be a success. The tucking service lasted four days 
from 8 to 11:50 p.m. Each tuck cost 50 cents and if the woman wanted a 
picture with her tucker, it was $1.

The money made was used for house improvements and pledge activities, junior 
Paul Vick, president of the fall pledge class, said.

"We didn't get up like we should

have," sophomore Rick Loudenback said. There could have been more 
women signed up if the pledges had publicized it more, he said.

Although the Phi Kaps are the first to bring tucking in to this campus, 
their idea came from a university in Iowa. Freshman Dave Miller suggested 
it after he had seen a similar project forecast on the news, Loudenback 
said.

"Everybody really thought it would go over well." Vick said. And judging 
by the reaction of the tuckers and tuckees, well was how it went.

"It was fun once the initial shock and embarrassment were over," junior 
Carrie Murphy said.

Murphy was signed up to be tucked in as a surprise birthday present from 
her freshman roommate, Lisa Bair. "I was mad. No one told me. I was dressed 
crummy and my hair was a mess," she said.

Bair signed herself up to be tucked in earlier in the same evening as Murphy. 
She had attended a dance in Ryle Hall, and was waiting for the time her tucker 
was to arrive. "Someone saw yellow pajama bottoms going up the stairs. I flew 
upstairs to get dressed. When he got there I had pajamas on," Bair said.

The pledges walked around the residence halls in pajamas carrying teddy bears. 
One night, in Centennial Hall, Vick and sophomore Dave Richardson were going 
to tuck a woman in when about "3,000 girls started following us. The whole 
bunch crammed into one room. We read the story with sound effects and 
everything," Vick said.

Loudenback said, "With that kind of reaction, we had a good time."

The tuckers encountered several women who were unaware they were to be tucked in. 
Senior Julie Burroughs was shocked when Loudenback came to her apartment with 
pajamas on. Her roommate had signed her up.

"No, I won't do it. I can't believe you did this to me," she said to her 
roommate. After being assured that the culprit was also to be tucked in, 
Burroughs accepted a lollipop and agreed to be tucked in.

Another time Loudenback said a woman slammed the door in his face. "I stood 
there and knocked on the door. Finally, the girl answered again and agreed 
to be tucked in."

Sophomore Pam Backe said of her surprise tucking, "It really surprised me but 
I liked it. It's fun. And it's an interesting experience, especially sharing 
a kiss with a stranger."

Whether the woman signed herself up or if her tucking came as a surprise, she 
still was read a story, given a lollipop and given the option of a kiss on the 
cheek or forehead.

The stories varied from Bugs Bunny to Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Some pledges 
brought their own books and had the women they tucked in sign them to keep as 
remembrances, Loudenback said.

Some women enjoyed the kiss more than the story. "It was a good time and I made 
Dave Miller kiss me. At first it was just a little kiss, but then I made him give 
me a big kiss. This is a great way to meet guys," freshman Leah Browning said.

Miller thought tucking was worth his while. "Some of the girls wore short, short 
nighties. When they did that, I about died. To tell the truth, I couldn't believe 
it."

The fraternity as a whole regarded tucking as a worthwhile project. "We plan to 
carry it on from pledge class to pledge class," Miller said. ECHO

Charter starters
by Jill Smith

They lack the comfort and security of a traditional fraternity house. 
The Greek letters on their shirts often take people by surprise because 
of their unfamiliarity. Their names are hardly known on campus.

Appropriately, they can be called the charter starters: groups of students 
who are trying to start new fraternities.

According to Mike Kacir, Interfraternity Council adviser, any group wishing 
to obtain a charter must do two things. "The first step is to petition the 
Student Senate for an interest group charter and then to petition to IFC to 
become registered as a colony."

A campus charter, as issued by the IFC, gives a fraternity official campus
recognition as a Greek organization and voting status at IFC meetings.

During the past school year, three new fraternities were started. Of the three, 
Sigma Phi Epsilon has been the most successful. The Sig Eps received colony 
status. Delta Upsilon could not swing the requirements for manpower and lost 
the colony status granted by the IFC. Phi Beta Sigma is an interest group 
which has yet to contact the IFC.

To help control growth, the IFC developed and adopted a new expansion policy. 
Kacir said the policy has been on a back burner for quite some time. The policy 
outlines expansion guidelines and also spells out privileges for fraternity 
colonies.

The policy will discourage future expansion and the charter starters confirmed 
that establishing a new fraternity is no easy job.

DELTA UPSILON

Delta Upsilon was formed two years ago when a group of students felt it was time 
for a new fraternity, junior Scott Burow, former president of the defunct colony, 
said.

The group petitioned the IFC,

received its vote of confidence and then obtained a temporary 
charter from the Student Senate under the name Alpha Delta Upsilon. 
On Oct. 3, 1979, DU was given official colony status by the IFC.

Lack of manpower was the biggest roadblock for the DUs. At the end of 
last spring, the group's membership totaled 22. When the University 
evaluated the colony's progress in October 1980, membership was only 
eight. "We've tried to build: we lost a lot of graduating, members and 
we lost some who were dissatisfied with the group's progress.

"DU standards for a national charter are tough. They require 50 members 
for a national charter. That's a bigger number than some of the active 
fraternities here. DU International has very high standards," Burrow 
said.

Another problem for the DUs was obtaining campus recognition. "The hardest 
thing to do is to get campus recognition, to build a name. We didn't have 
a lot of guys around to wear our letters," Burrow said.

SIGMA PHI EPSILON

On March 28 all the work involved with starting a new fraternity was to come 
to an end with the Sig Eps receiving their national charter and full charter 
status from the national organization.

All members who went through initiation would be considered the chapter's 
founding fathers, Sig Ep President Scott Zajac, sophomore, said.

Even though the Sig Eps would have a national charter, they would be considered 
a colony by campus standards. The IFC acknowledged them as a colony on Jan. 31.

Zajac said the Sig Eps have most of the rights and privileges of a chartered 
fraternity. They cannot, however, vote at the IFC meetings.

The IFC recognition was, as Zajac remembered, more of a relief than an excitement. 
"It took longer than we hoped, longer than people suggested."

Since their beginning in the fall of 1979, the Sig Eps have faced numerous roadblocks 
in the struggle to become officially recognized on campus.

Initially, when the Sig Eps discussed formation, they approached Dean of Students Terry 
Smith. Zajac remembered Smith's reaction. "He said he couldn't support us because of his 
commitment to IFC." (At the time, the IFC had a policy which permitted the existence of 
only one fraternity colony at a time. Because DU had already achieved colony status, 
Smith was committed to this policy.)

Junior Rick Streb, Sig Ep treasurer, said, "We could see his point, but at the same time 
it seemed unfair to us."

Streb said the Sig Eps originally wished to grow as an interest group and then later become 
recognized as a fraternity.

"Dean Smith brought our plan to IFC and to Mike Kacir. Supposedly, IFC voted (whether) to 
recognize us. They voted unanimously against us. They thought we were all wrong," he said.

Last spring the Sig Eps applied to the Student Senate for a temporary interest group charter 
under the name Students' Social Society. The charter was granted by the Student Senate 
president. "They were saying they were Sig Eps but calling themselves a different name. 
In a sense, if you're

going to be a fraternity you should act like a fraternity and 
operate under the IFC rules," senior D. W. Cole, 1979-80 Senate 
president, said.

Zajac said the Sig Eps never gave up. "It (opposition) brings 
us closer together."

Another setback for the Sig Eps involved an IFC division. "They 
(IFC) pressured the Panhellenic Council into not having mixers 
with us and to take our section out of their pledge books," 
Streb said.

He had mixed emotions over such action. "The action discouraged 
us. We had sorority mixers last year and they didn't give us any 
problems then. If we want to get together with a sorority there 
shouldn't be any campus formality preventing it."

Senior Don Dickerson, IFC president, said, "Panhell asks us to 
help enforce rules and we ask them to help us enforce rules. It's 
a two-way street."

Panhellenic Council President Anita Mullins, junior, said, "There 
are set steps to be recognized on campus. All of a sudden they 
appeared and had all the rights of a fraternity but no

charter. They were getting all the benefits of being Greek but not 
following policies."

Now that the Sig Eps are an official colony, problems with pledge books 
and mixers are past. As for the campus charter, the IFC policy requires 
that they wait a minimum of 18 months before petitioning for a campus 
charter.

With an active membership of 28 and a pledge class of 21, the Sig Eps are 
growing. "We expect to be one of the bigger fraternities on campus," 
Zajac said.

FUTURE EXPANSION

Will there be more charter starters in the future? IFC adviser Larry Nothnagel said 
there have been inquiries from several national fraternities. "That's quite common." 

Nothnagel believes expansion is a healthy process. "There's no question about it. 
Expansion makes our system stronger. Expansion ups the strength of Greeks on campus. 
It makes Greeks more influential."

Nothnagel said the Greek system is strong. "We've never had a chartered fraternity 
fold on this campus. Not many campuses in the nation can claim that."

With the adoption of the new IFC expansion policy the path ahead will be a lot clearer. 
But as Zajac said, "It's hard work." ECHO

Stepping out
by Ellen Wand

Marchdowns (sometimes called stepping) are common practice to all black Greek 
organizations on campus. "Marchdowns are a form of togetherness and tradition. 
They bring everyone closer together. But they are also a form of competition 
just like any other sport, only they are based on sound," junior Bill Buckner, 
president of Alpha Phi Alpha, said.

A form of competition is a way to interpret marchdowns.

State, local and national meets against fraternities, their little sis organizations 
and sororities are held. This year's first competition was sponsored by Omega Psi Phi 
during Homecoming. The marchdown which took place was in competition with surrounding 
areas. Letters announcing the marchdown were sent to chapters in area colleges and 
those responding to the letters were entered into the competition.

Delta Sigma Theta placed first in the sorority division, while the Alpha Angels took 
top place in the little sis division. The fraternities were defeated by an out-of-town 
chapter of Omega Psi Phi.

Besides being a form of competition, marching serves as a form of entertainment. "The 
audience enjoys it. When they hear that there is going to be a marchdown, it brings out 
a lot more people (to the dances)," Williams said. People enjoy watching the marchdowns 
and picking up new ideas for steps other organizations create.

Stepping (cont.)

Marchdowns have been passed on through history to the black organizations. 
Originally only fraternal groups used them, but through the years, sororities 
and little sis organizations chose to do as their brothers and take up the art 
of marching. Sophomore Jon Walton, member of Omega Psi Phi, said, "They have a 
more feminine style of marching, even though they imitate our steps."

Appearance is a very important factor in marching since part of the judging is 
based on uniformity. Outfits cannot be redundant and they must look sharp. 
June Shaw, member of the Omega Psi Phi Pearls, said, "They judge us on how 
we look just as much as the quality of our marching." Each organization 
chooses its own uniform, which could range from dog collars to handkerchiefs. 
Much money and effort is put into a uniform which will not be used again in 
competition.

Marching is considered to be a privilege, and pledges are not allowed to become 
active in marches until they become active. "The pledges like to march, even 
though we don't allow them to march while they are still pledging. Omega Psi 
Phi pledges use the marchdowns for the first time at the end of pledge season 
during hell night in their dog show." The dog show is a show given by the 
pledges to their brothers, Walton said.

Stepping has changed with time. Now each fraternity, sorority and little sis 
organization has a distinct style of its own. Williams, member of Omega Psi 
Phi, said, "We have a style of our own that everybody talks about, and we 
get nasty with it."

Junior Philamena Todd, member of Delta Sigma Theta, said, "They don't put 
any restriction in their marching. It is a free spirit type of march." 

Sophomore Ellen Dowell, Alpha Angel, said there is a much bigger distinction 
between fraternities and the styles that sororities and little sisses use. 
The women's style has more of a step to it, where as the men march more.

Another common difference found is that the men chant the songs but the women 
sing them. Marching is a very serious matter. "We mean what we say as well as 
it being a form of entertainment," Johnson said.

Through marchdowns the black organizations are coming together to share and 
compare a common interest and a unique way of expressing themselves. Todd 
said, "We try to portray the meaning of our organizations to the people 
through marching." ECHO

Part of the family
by Talley Sue Hohlfeld

Just as the Greek gods are myths, the Greek system is surrounded by 
myths. One of the most prominent is that little sisses are required 
to be girlfriends of fraternity members.

Not so. Senior Pat Jones, president of Tau Kappa Epsilon Little Sisses, 
estimates that only a small percentage of their little sisses are 
girlfriends of men in the fraternity.

Only three new Rho-Mates (Alpha Gamma Rho) are girlfriends of members. 
The spring pledge class numbered between 11 and 15.

are romantically involved with fraternity members.

The men prefer it that way. We try to make it not an organization of 
girlfriends because it hasn't worked well in the past," Delta Chi Little 
Sis Committee Chairman John Guittar, Junior, said.

Although the Omega Psi Phi Pearls started as a girlfriends' organization, 
coordinator Greg Henderson said, "It's just a coincidence that seven of the 
brothers' girlfriends came to school here. Since their boyfriends were in 
Omega it was only natural that they want to be a part of it. But most of them 
(the 29 members) joined just because they were interested in the fraternity.

Jones said although most TKE Little Sisses do not start as girlfriends, they 
easily become "maybe not girlfriends, but casual dates."

Guittar said, "I'm not going to say that guys don't date little sisses, because 
guys do. Little sisses make good dates.

"There's a pretty good respect between guys and girls; respect for each other's 
feelings," he said.

The pledge season for Omega Pearls, like most other little sis organizations, 
consisted of getting signatures of fraternity and little sis members. Henderson 
said this gave them a chance to get to know each other. "That's the unique thing 
bout it. There was nothing romantic about it. We're just real close."

Some auxiliary organizations are actually girlfriends-only organizations. Beta 
Babes, of Sigma Tau Gamma, are not recognized by the University or the local 
chapter. Sig Taus are quick to point out that the Babes are not a little sis 
organization. Karen Duel, senior, said, "They do stress it, but not to us."

Although the Sig Tau national organization provides for little sis organizations, 
each fraternity makes its own decision.

Beta Babes are self-organized. In order to be a Babe, a woman must be pinned, 
lavaliered, engaged or married to an active Sig Tau. But, Deul said, the women 
feel close to the fraternity as a whole. "I feel very close to the guys," she 
said. "A lot of us do feel that we're a part of the fraternity. It seems like 
there's nothing but respect for Beta Babes."

Family (cont.)

Phi Sigma Epsilon Gamma Girls is another girlfriends-only organization. 
However, they do allow special exceptions, president Heidi Hermesmeyer, 
senior, said.

Gamma Girls vote on those they want to be in the group (from women 
lavaliered, pinned or engaged to Phi Sigs) and then the fraternity 
members vote. Although officially recognized by the fraternity, the 
Gamma Girls are chartered only through the Phi Sigs.

The Sigma Phi Epsilon Little Sisses just recently got their University 
charter, president Kathy Heath, senior, said. "Our main purpose is to 
help them (the men of the fraternity) and we want girls who want to 
help."

Phi Kappa Theta Little Sisses feel the same way, president Rita McGee said. 
So much so, in fact, that when one member became highly inactive, she was 
asked by the fraternity to leave the organization. "She just didn't seem like 
she was as interested as

before," McGee said.

Their little sis charter requires that when a member misses a certain 
number of meetings her name is brought before the fraternity. The men 
than vote on whether or not to retain the little sis. "They did ask her 
to leave," McGee said.

"Most of the girls take it seriously," McGee said. "Unless the girls just 
aren't interested, they'll come and participate. This doesn't come up often 
at all."

It is also uncommon for Phi Kap Little Sisses to leave the organization 
voluntarily. "I think if anybody drops, it's just because they don't have 
the time anymore, and they don't feel they're giving the fraternity the 
time they want to."

Most of the time that little sisses give fraternities consists of helping with 
rush activities and hosting activities for the fraternity as a whole.

"Pearls are like cheerleaders to a football team like us," Henderson said. 
"They just help us to do things."

Cheering at intramural fraternity games and playing intramurals are part of regular 
little sis life. A year ago, Alpha Kappa Lambda Little Sisses started the Little Sis 
Olympics, and organizations compete twice yearly. 

Alpha Tau Omega started its little sis organization in spring 1981, John Wood, 
senior, said. "It's really nice to have a bunch of girls that are actively 
involved in the fraternity and show a lot of spirit. It's just heartlifting."

It may sound like a lot of work, but, McGee said, "I think most of the girls are 
happy with what they're doing."

Heath said, "The main contribution our little sisses give is simply to be there 
when the fraternity needs us. We enjoy being a part of them and helping them."

Little sisses "provide moral support" for Delta Chi, Guittar said. But that moral 
support goes both ways.

Jones said being a little sis meant having "someone who's there to help me out." It 
can provide "a male figure in your life who's not a boyfriend," she said.

Junior Marge Fichera, president of Rho-Mates, said, "It's like a family; it's really 
nice."

Guittar summed up the apparent feelings of fraternities and their little sisses. "It's 
just like having members of a family around. I think having little sisses makes 
fraternity life more like family life." ECHO

Leaving Greek life behind
by Sherry McGovern

So happy together -- New Tri Sig Sue Hardy receives congratulations and hugs 
from actives Cathy Van Hoecke and Charlene Perez. Hardy made it through the 
pledge season and became an active.

Technical difficulties -- When freshman Colleen Cross stepped up to the 
microphone to yell in, the PA system broke. After junior Cheryl Conrad 
and senior Penny Prange fixed it, Cross yelled in, Alpha Sigma Alpha.

In the fall of every year an enthusiastic crowd gathers in front of the 
steps of Kirk Memorial. Cheers, chants and yells bounce off Baldwin Hall 
on their way across campus at Yell In.

After the enthusiasm of pledging a sorority or fraternity dies down, pledges 
settle into the task of learning to be a Greek.

Although rush season involves an introduction to the Greek system, mistakes 
happen. Students pledge sororities or fraternities and find they do not want 
to continue.

When this happens, problems result. Based on the Greek system, pledging is 
serious; a pledge makes a life-long emotional commitment to an organization. 
Depledging, for whatever reason, is a touchy issue.

Fraternities and sororities want to retain pledges; mainly because of the bond 
that is created between actives and pledges. Honors and scholarships can be a 
big part of this. Fraternities' and sororities' reputations can be made by 
statistics.

One sophomore woman said she decided to pledge because her high school friends 
talked her into it. After following the pledge season nearly to the end, she 
depledged. "I didn't like it. It wasn't how I thought it should be. I didn't 
feel like I belonged. I had nervous ulcers because of the pressures," she 
said.

After quitting the organization, "I felt a lot better," she said. Although her 
grades and health improved after removing the strain of pledging, the woman still 
felt guilty, and there were some hard feelings. "I lost my friends," she said.

She is reluctant to talk about it because she feels neither the sorority nor herself 
was at fault. "I don't want to point a finger at anyone," she said.

Another woman, also a sophomore, said, "It just didn't fit my personality." Since 
she was an independent person, restrictions placed on her as a pledging member of 
a sorority caused her to be unhappy with the situation. "It wasn't right. My Christian 
morals were being challenged." She tried to steer herself one way and the sorority 
tried to steer her another. She could not compromise. The woman depledged after three 
weeks of belonging to the organization.

Vonnie Nichols, director of Student Activities, said emotions play a big

part in either pledging or depledging a sorority. Feelings of disappointment 
at quitting sometimes cause hard feelings.

A junior man, affiliated with a fraternity, decided after making his commitment 
to that organization that it was just not right. Brotherhood, the main objective 
for any fraternal organization, was lacking and members did not make him feel as 
if he belonged.

Initially, there were some hard feelings, he said. Presently, though, he is happy 
he quit. "The Greek system is not the problem. It's something within that fraternity 
that's lacking," he said. He decided to join another fraternity and some hard feelings 
did exist over the situation. He felt his former brothers regarded him as a traitor. 
He would rather not talk about it. "It's over; it's in the past," he said.

Worry over making grades, said Dave Clithero, pledge trainer for Delta Chi fraternity, 
is a big factor in remaining a pledge to a fraternity. "The guy may not be able to keep 
up his grades or maybe he didn't fit into the group." In either situation, the man feels 
bad when he has to depledge.

Steve Deters, senior pledge trainer for Alpha Kappa Lambda, said money is also a factor 
in deciding to depledge. "Sometimes the guy is just too embarrassed to admit he hasn't 
got the money to pledge." This can cause distress for the man when he realizes he may 
be in too deeply.

The touchiness of the depledging situation may be best attributed to the old adage that 
no one likes quitting. Unique to the depledging of a fraternity or sorority, as opposed 
to quitting a club or other organization, is the unity or brother/sisterhood of the 
organization. The closeness of the organization makes leaving it a delicate subject for 
both the individual and the organization. ECHO

Wanted: Greek booknappers

Only in college can one see women walking around with notebooks of 
various designs tied to their wrists. Like a lifeline these 5-by-7 
books accompany their owners everywhere. A sorority pledge lives 
in constant fear of losing her pledge book.

In an unwary moment she lays the book down to get a soda in the cafeteria. 
Her attention is focused on a friend, Seconds later the book is gone.

When a personal possession is stolen the victim rarely expects to see it again. 
This, however, does not apply to stolen pledge books.

A pledge book can be repossessed by gathering a group of sorority sisters or 
fraternity brothers and singing songs to the fraternity or sorority that has 
the pledge book.

When freshman Sonya Doctorian's pledge book was stolen, she said, "I was 
terribly upset. I cried because I only had my book for an hour. It had just 
been stressed what a responsibility my red book was."

Doctorian, an Alpha Sigma Alpha pledge, and her big sis went to eat supper 
in Missouri Hall cafeteria. Her book was stolen when she left the table to 
get something to drink.

"A couple of guys ran up and grabbed my book and ran out with it," she said. 
That night the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity called the Alpha chapter room 
and asked the women to come over and sing for the return of the book.

Freshman Ann Shelton's book was also stolen. "I Was in shock. I was stunned."

Her book was being signed by junior Phi Lambda Chi Gregg Burger. She turned her 
head and Burger snatched the pledge book from her hands.

"Stealing books sort of makes you feel like a pledge again," Burger said. "It gives 
the pledges and actives a chance to meet each other when they come to sing instead 
of waiting for a mixer."

Shelton said she learned a lesson from the experience. "Gregg and I had been friends 
for a long time. I trusted him. It made me feel so bad and I felt like I let the 
sorority down."

Most pledge books are stolen in fun, but others are stolen in spite. Freshman Delta Chi 
pledge Mike Blevins said his book was stolen from his room or was lost in the rest room.

The culprit called the Delta Chi house and told Blevins to meet him at the fire station. 
Blevins went, but whoever stole the book did not show up.

The next day the book was found in a box on the lawn of the Delta Chi house, burned.

"I never did find out who stole it but whomever the shadow is, I'd like to know," Blevins 
said. "I would have sung for it, but they kept it and burned it."

All agree the pledge book is important. Doctorian said the pledge book is a "sense of 
identity that is very special. My red book signifies it. Half of the fun would go out 
of pledge books (if they were not stolen)." ECHO

Circle of love

It was a Wednesday evening in Brewer Hall. As the sunlight faded into dusk, 
lights came on almost everywhere. The Delta Zeta wing of Brewer Hall remained 
dark, and the only sound was singing. The sorority held a ceremony in its 
chapter room, one flickering candle providing the only light as it was passed 
around the circle of women there.

Suddenly the candle was blown out, the lights were turned on, and there were 
screams of surprise as senior Jill Curry was surrounded and hugged by her 
sorority sisters.

Sororities across the country hold these traditional ceremonies, called 
candlelightings, as a way of announcing a pinning, lavaliering, engagement 
or marriage of a member. (Pinning is when a member of a fraternity gives a 
woman his fraternity pin. Lavaliering, similar to going steady, is when a 
fraternity man gives a woman a necklace with the fraternity's initials on it.)

Senior Cindy Hamilton, member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, said each ceremony 
is exciting because no one ever knows for sure who the ceremony is for. "We stand 
in a circle and hold hands and everybody's trying to guess who it is. Each time 
the candle is passed around the circle, it represents something different."

Hamilton said the first time the lighted candle is passed around the circle stands 
for good luck or friendship. "The second time is for being lavaliered, the third for 
pinned or promised, the fourth for engagement, the fifth stands for marriage, and 
the sixth stands for pregnancy," she said. "It really does bring us closer together. 
We have our arms around each other and we sing sorority songs. My candlelighting was 
exciting; everybody went crazy when they found out I was engaged," Hamilton said.

Curry explained how her candlelighting was set up. "I called a friend of mine who wasn't 
in the sorority and she called the chapter room to set up a day and time," she said. 
"All she had to say was the word 'candlelighting' and the time and place, and word gets 
around fast."

Curry said that just before the ceremony started everyone tried to guess who the 
candlelighting was for, but no one guessed it was her.

Senior Margaret Hyatt, member of Sigma Kappa sorority, agreed that the ceremonies 
are a surprise element for the sorority. "I had two candlelightings in one month," 
she said. "I was pinned and then engaged. When I was pinned, it was kind of expected, 
though no one was absolutely sure it was me. But when I became engaged so soon they 
were shocked -- nobody even suspected it could be me that time. I liked shocking them."

Alpha Sigma Alpha president Lori Clithero, sophomore, said she had a candlelighting 
last November. "I got engaged, and right after we told my parents, I called the 
sorority president and told her about it. Some girls go without telling anybody, 
but if it's an engagement we sometimes tell our closest sorority sister and she'll 
hold the ring during the ceremony," Clithero said. "When I blew out the candle, they 
about died! I'm just not the type to get engaged, so they never expected it to be me," 
she said.

"I had a candlelighting a

couple of years ago," senior Ruth Selby, Alpha Sigma Tau member, said. 
"Everybody tried to figure out who it was, and some of them thought it 
would be me, but I told them I would never go through a candlelighting.

"We went into the chapter room, turned out the lights, and formed a circle. 
The candle was going around fast, and I acted like I was going to keep on 
passing it. When the girl next to me tried to grab it, I blew it out. That 
was the fourth time around."

AST members have candlelightings for alumni during Homecoming and formals, 
Selby said. "The funniest thing we ever did was at an activation party. A 
girl who wasn't married blew the candle out the sixth time around, which 
stands for pregnancy. We were all shocked, but then she told us she did it 
for her sister, a married alumni who wasn't able to come to the party."

Candlelightings are a sorority tradition, and some agree they bring sorority 
members even closer. Hamilton said she thought everybody should have one. "I 
think it'd be neat for dorms to do it too, if they could get organized. It's 
a nice way of telling your closest friends all at once." ECHO

Growing pains
by Mike Bronson

Alpha Phi Sigma, an honorary scholastic fraternity, initiated 126 new members 
during the fall semester. More amazing is the fact that this pledge class 
increased Alpha Phi Sigma's membership by 1,000 percent.

Naturally, there is some bad that goes along with the good. APS is having 
attendance problems at meetings, APS president Debby Buenger, junior, said.

This problem is new to APS officers, and possible solutions to the problem 
have been discussed, senior Denise Howard, APS vice president, said. "Right 
now, we may send them (members who are not attending) a notice reminding them 
about the next meeting. If it still keeps up, we may ask them if they are 
serious about Alpha Phi Sigma," Howard said.

Apparently, part of the attendance problem is due to many members joining the 
fraternity so they can list it on their resumes when they graduate. Howard feels 
this is part of the problem, "especially since we had had some graduating seniors 
join."

Buenger said the fraternity is planning to increase its activities in the hope 
that more of the members will want to get involved.

Sophomore Susie Falk, a member of APS, attended meetings rarely.

"Nothing has really gotten started yet. We've been meeting for the sake 
of meeting only. Nothing has really been launched yet."

A meeting held on Jan. 26 lasted 10 minutes.

The fraternity's main activities are setting up speakers and programs to help 
members scholastically, sending out certificates of honor to all high school 
valedictorians and salutatorians in the northeast Missouri area, and selecting 
an outstanding teacher of the year.

This award was won last year by Eugene Croarkin, assistant professor of accounting.

Despite the attendance problem, the phenomenal growth of APS is an amazing success 
story. Buenger said, "In the past, it was our policy to advertise on campus and 
through word-of-mouth to recruit new members. But this semester, we sent out letters 
to all the people who were eligible to join. We obtained a list of eligible people 
from Dean Smith (Dean of Students Terry Smith)." APS member Jim Huffman, senior, came 
up with the idea of sending out the letters, Buenger said.

The only requirement to join APS is to have a grade point average of 3.0 or above for 
two consecutive semesters. That is the reason for the large number of letters sent out. 
Because of high postage costs, eligible members who lived off campus did not receive a 
letter, Buenger said.

After sending out the letters, Buenger said they hoped a group of 50-SO people would 
show up. What happened was beyond their wildest expectations. "The organizational 
meeting was held in one of the large corner rooms in Violette Hall. The next thing 
we knew, every chair was full. We had to bring benches in from the hall, and there 
were still people standing and sitting in the aisles. There were approximately 180 
people who attended. One hundred twenty-six joined."

The fraternity did not send out letters for the spring semester, Huffman said. He did 
not know if they would be sent next fall either. "I don't think we could stand another 
growth like that right away." ECHO

Just for the experience
by Talley Sue Hohlfeld

"This is not a clerk-typist job. This is not slave labor," Dean of Students 
Terry Smith said. It was not a job description; at least, not really. It was 
an experienceship description.

All 20 members of the freshman class of Pershing scholars are required to work 
10 hours a week for four years for a faculty or staff member. The Pershing 
Scholarship is a full ride that covers tuition, fees and room and board. Recipients 
are selected on the basis of scholarship and leadership.

The experiences the freshmen work on are select, Smith said. Faculty and staff 
submit requests for experienceships along with detailed job descriptions. "The 
guidelines that are provided the supervisors are very general," Smith said.

Experienceships are to be a significant growth experience, Smith said. For freshman 
Sherry Swanson, her fall experienceship in the office of Darrell Krueger, dean of 
instruction, was a disappointment. "I tried to start out real optimistic, but I got

tired of it," she said. Swanson's duties were to look at a printout of 
an attitude survey comparing student images of NMSU to their images of 
other universities, and analyze the data.

Then she wrote the information in paragraph form. "Mostly, I ranked them. 
It was really repetitious."

Swanson's spring experienceship also started optimistically, and she hopes 
to continue. Still working with Krueger, she is going through a computerized 
values assessment in order to evaluate its effectiveness. "Right now I feel 
good about it."

Freshman Kevin Krieg found a problem spending 10 hours each week at the Housing 
Office. "I think it's kind of a disadvantage because you have to schedule around 
it (the experienceship)." Krieg said he felt he had not gotten some classes he 
needed because he planned his spring schedule around it.

Pershing scholars, in addition to being required to keep a yearly 3.5 grade point 
average, are also required to be active in campus organizations and activities in 
order to renew their scholarships. "I found myself cutting back (on activities). 
I feel guilty, because they say 'Stay active,' and I can't do that and keep a 3.5," 
Krieg said.

Krieg's fall semester grade point was below 3.5, as was another Pershing scholar's, 
Krieg said. "We both blame the experienceship."

Swanson also felt the pressures. "I found it very difficult. With that and classes, 
it was hard to study."

Ten hours a week with Gary Sells, professor of psychology, transcribing graphs into 
computer programs did not sound like a lot to freshman Tony Koehler. "Ten hours a week 
for a four-year scholarship--I don't think that's bad."

Swanson said, "It seems like we already earned it by the things we did, and we continue 
to earn it by being involved. And then I sometimes feel guilty because if they're giving 
us all that money it seems like such a little thing."

Smith said, "No one else is given a full-ride scholarship with no strings attached." 
Higher expectations are placed on Pershing scholars because of the size of the 
scholarship, Smith said. As a way of compensation, a 3.5 GPA is required instead 
of the 3.75 required for Regents and President's scholarships.

Krieg said, "I think there's a little hate against it (the experienceship)." 

Swanson agreed. "I think that a lot of people are unhappy with it."

In fact, on Jan. 27, Smith met with the Pershing scholars to talk about the experienceship 
program. "The biggest concern, or the one most often mentioned, was the lack of a 
challenging experience. They expressed their wishes for something a little more 
sophisticated and challenging."

Smith said about half of the students expressed dissatisfaction with the program.

The program will change, Smith said, "since they're guinea pigs, since we're always 
evaluating." Smith said the program will not change drastically, but only minor 
adjustments will be made.

"I think it was a little too drastic at first," Krieg said.

He also said that although the experienceship requirement had been mentioned in a 
letter he received during the summer of 1980, "When we first came here I didn't 
really know I had to work 10 hours a week. It was kind of a shock."

Smith said the program was developed after publicity for the scholarship had gone 
out. Each scholarship finalist, when interviewed, was informed of the plan. Apparently, 
however, the idea was not clearly explained to everyone.

Swanson said, "I was a little confused about what it would be. I wasn't even sure of the 
hour requirement."

Despite the problems, Smith said he feels the experienceship program is worthwhile. "Now 
the challenge is to refine the experienceship program. It's just a matter of getting it 
to where I know it can be." ECHO

"Drum major -- is the band ready for competition?" This was a phrase heard 
by the 14 bands that participated in the marching band competition held 
Oct. 18, sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. The bands included high schools 
from Missouri and Iowa along with one junior high band.

"This isn't the first band competition offered on campus," said Dan Peterson, 
director of the Showboat Gamblers and faculty adviser of Phi Mu Alpha. However, 
this was the first year the Sinfonians sponsored a competition. They plan to 
make it a yearly event.

Most of the bands in the competition were small. Only one band, from Wentzville, 
competed in the 4A class. "I was impressed with the small bands," Michael Reiser, 
Sinfonian, said.

Phi Mu Alpha president Raydell Bradley was also impressed with the quality, and 
happy with number of bands particpating.

Hugh Emerson, Sinfonian, was one of about five hundred spectators who watched the 
competition. "I hope more bands will compete next year," he said. "It's good for 
recruiting."

This is just one of the Sinfonia's ways of promoting professional music in America, 
Bradley said.

"Another purpose of the competition was to provide an opportunity for bands to compete 
with bands of their own size, as well as getting fourteen bands exposed to our campus," 
Peterson said. Arranged by the Fine Arts Division, the event was a recruitment tool, 
also.

"We just hope that it was a fun day for everyone," he said. Denise Haberichter, Showboat 
Gamblers band member, said, "It's a good experience to play in a band." ECHO

"I am honored that they want me to perform for them. Meetings are every 
night but I like to keep busy and it really just steamrolls right along," 
Lunsford said.

"I'm going to graduate in May, and I'm going to miss NMSU. It's great. I 
love it," he said.

While Larry Lunsford keeps busy on campus, others are putting in their time, 
too. Barb McMasters, senior, is the president of Student Senate, a Purple 
Packer and a member of the Business Administration Club, Cardinal Key and 
Pi Omega Pi.

Karen Barkey, senior, is corresponding secretary for Delta Zeta, treasurer 
for Alpha Phi Sigma scholastic fraternity, secretary and treasurer for the 
Accounting Club, chairman of the Greek Development Club, and a member of 
Delta Sigma Pi, Alpha Sigma Gamma and Business Administration Club.

Another senior who is quite involved on campus is Lynn Brockfeld. She is rush 
chairman for Sigma Kappa, councilwoman for Student Senate, a Phi Kappa Theta 
Little Sis and a member of the Student Activities Board, Panhellenic Council, 
Young Republicans and the Student Independent Party.

"I enjoy each of them differently. Student Senate gives me confidence and a 
positive feeling towards the administration. The others help me make friends 
in my major and on campus," McMasters said.

Barkey said, "I think everybody should be involved on campus because it adds to 
a person's college life. It's neat meeting people and making new friends and 
keeping your old ones."

While Brockfeld feels it is important to be involved on campus besides taking 
classes, she said, "I find myself budgeting my time because I'm involved and 
it helps my grades. I know I have a certain amount of time, so I have to get 
it finished within that time."

McMasters said she used to be shy and introverted but becoming involved has 
been a motivator for her. "I have a positive feeling about the organizations 
and classes I am in. College is a chance in a lifetime." ECHO

Flocking to the polls
by Anna Fleming

An increase in voter turnout during the fall 1980 Student Senate elections was 
representative of an increased student awareness of student government on campus. 
The increase of 400 students over last fall's election made a turnout of 960. The 
huge growth could be attributed largely to the amount of publicity distributed by 
the candidates and their fellow party members.

D.W. Cole, 1979-1980 Student Senate president, said the spring election, however, 
showed an even higher turnout, ranking higher than the national average of student 
participation in student senate elections, with almost 30 percent of the students 
casting votes. The national average is 8 percent. More than three times that percentage, 
almost 2,000 students, voted in last spring's election, making it one of the best 
turnouts ever, he said.

The starting place for the candidates was one of the political parties on campus. 
Once nominated for candidacy by the members of either the Student Participation 
Party (SPP) or the Student Independent Party (SIP), the candidates depended on 
other members of their party for help

in saturating the campus with their names.

The parties served mainly as support organizations rather than concrete 
symbols of abstract beliefs, Larry Lunsford, SPP member, said. "There is 
no rivalry, really, between parties."

The most obvious instruments of campaign were the posters. These were placed 
in residence halls, classroom buildings and on trees around campus. Where there 
was one poster, there were several, each bearing the names of several candidates 
for the positions. "These posters were the responsibility of the individual 
candidates," Lunsford said.

Fliers, banners and buttons were other means of placing the candidates' names 
before the public. "They were frequently the result of party effort, but the 
individuals running for office often bear the financial burden of their 
production," Lunsford said.

The established pathways to the public, KNEU and the Index, were implemented. 
The chief drawback to the use of KNEU, Barb McMasters, Student Senate president, 
said, was "so few people get it, and if they do, they have to be listening at just 
the right time. Index ads have better results, but they usually come out a week 
before the elections." Timing played an important part in the effectiveness of 
candidate selling.

On election day, party members stopped students walking through the Student Union 
Building to remind them to vote. This proved to be an effective tactic because the 
voting was located on the third floor of the SUB.

Rhonda Allen, a sophomore candidate for Student Senate secretary, said, "The people 
don't even know there's an election. When you go door-to-door, people say, 'Sure 
I'll go vote.'"

Party officials seemed to feel that door-to-door campaigning added a personal 
aspect that was vital to the responsible selection of a candidate. "By meeting 
candidates face-to-face, students can sense the enthusiasm and willingness to 
work that is imperative to effective government," Lunsford said.

All this publicity and person-to-person campaigning, as well as personal acquaintance 
with the candidates, resulted in the record-breaking turnout. ECHO

dialing for dollars

The lobby of the McKinney Center was filled with ringing bells, talking people 
and clacking phones. Every once in a while, a receiver was replaced and a student 
would yell, "You should have heard what this one lady said!"

Tel-Alumni, a fund-raising project, was formed for the alumni scholarship program, 
to put money toward a general development fund. "The general development fund is 
for projects the University doesn't have money for," Les Dunseith, staff assistant 
in Public Relations and Alumni, said. "It may be invested or put in the bank. A 
percentage of it goes toward scholarships. Right now, the money doesn't have a 
specific purpose."

Organizations were pitted against each other in an attempt to encourage participation. 
Service organizations, Greek organizations and individuals volunteered their time and 
joined the confusion at the McKinney Center.

A coincidence that occurred involved the use of tables with white phones and tables with 
black phones. People at the tables with white phones always received the most pledges.

Delta Sigma Pi, a business fraternity, made the most money: $2,445 in pledges. Larry

president of DSP, said, "We had a good night, and a lot of people were home. 
Part of it was the enthusiasm of the organization because they really applied 
themselves."

Lunsford said 25-35 members volunteered to work, and the idea caught fire. "Since 
they're business majors, they're used to doing that sort of thing," he said.

Overall, alumni who were contacted pledged $54,218.

Students who participated in the project had some unusual experiences.

Sophomore Byonda Bokelman did not have much luck getting pledges, but she talked to 
some people who did not know what NMSU was. "There was one lady who said she's never 
heard of NMSU," she said. "When she came to school here, it was called 'the college." 
She said some people wanted to tell her their life stories. "One lady was talking about 
her divorce and her friend's divorces and who was separated. It was really weird." 

Bokelman only received $10 in pledges. "The $10 I got was from a recent graduate. 
Some people were downright rude and said, 'I don't have time to mess with this,' 
and hung up."

Other volunteers were luckier and received $50 pledges from several individuals. 
Sophomore Greg Geels received $400 in pledges and qualified for all-star 
competition. "I was really lucky because I was calling out-of-state people," he 
said. "They were really amazed to hear someone calling from Kirksville, so they 
were willing to listen." Geels called people in New Jersey, Arizona, Colorado, 
California and North Dakota. "People were scattered all over the place. One guy 
I talked to in North Dakota asked how the weather was here. I told him it was in 
the 30's but there was no snow. He said they were right in the middle of a 
snowstorm."

Geels said it was hard to start off at first, but after a while, he developed a 
pattern. "I talked to them for a minute to get them interested in what I was 
saying, before even mentioning what I was doing." He said he reached two doctors 
the first night and they each pledged $50 "without thinking twice about it.
I asked them if they'd donate something and they said, 'Yeah, sure!'"

Some companies make a policy of matching an employee's donation. "That's how some 
students made $100 or $150 in one night," Geels said.

Freshman Janet Bradley ran into people who flatly refused to pledge. "One person 
said he wouldn't pledge because he put himself through school and thought everyone 
else should, too," she said.

Bradley called a mixed age group throughout the Missouri area. She said older 
people pledged more because younger ones were just getting started and did not 
have enough money.

Some were cooperative and glad to give, while others gave her hard-luck stories. 
"One family said one of them was just getting out the hospital and another man was 
going on a business trip. They couldn't afford it. I had to call a Chinese family 
which was really bad because I couldn't understand what they said. I think his wife 
said he wasn't home or at least that's what I got out of it," she said.

Sophomore Liz Lukowski made a call to Arizona. She said out-of-state people pledged 
more. She received about $175 in pledges. "I called one house and a little boy answered 
the phone," she said. "I asked to speak to his mother and he yelled 'Mom,' right in my 
ear. It hurt!"

Freshman Jody Hindley had the unfortunate experience of calling two residences where 
the individuals were deceased. "The first one really shocked me because I didn't 
expect anyone to be dead," she, said. "When I asked to speak to the person, I was 
told, 'She's been dead for about a year.'"

Other than that, Hindley said, "I really had fun doing it. I made about $110."

Lunsford said, "People from out of state think it's really neat to hear from 
someone in Kirksville." ECHO

To recruit new members at the start of a new Meet me at the fair
year, organizations put out a call to students: 

Meet me at the fair

Books, lights, and booths decorated with streamers filled the Georgian 
Room in the Student Union Building on Sept. 18 as campus organizations 
and students participated in the annual Activities Fair.

The fair, sponsored by Cardinal Key women's service sorority, was held to 
give students exposure to all the various activities, clubs, and 
organizations on campus.

"I'd never come before. It's really well organized. I should have come my 
first two years," junior Jay Hemenway said.

Through the fair, many of the 63 organizations that had booths hoped to give 
students exposure to their organizations and to gain new members.

Graduate student Merrie Miller, member of Psi Chi, the national honorary psychology 
society, said, "Although we didn't get any new members per se, we did get exposure. 
People like to look and play with the gadgets." The club displayed electronic 
equipment.

"It's a good way to get pledges or just to meet people," junior Randy Cupp, member 
of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, said. "We've had a table for the 
past few years, mostly for information and publicity."

"It really contributes to getting new members," Doug Smith, sophomore member of the 
Horse and Rodeo Club, said. "Quite a few people showed an interest in the club. The 
fair allows people to get to know more about the club before they join it."

In addition to the organizations that sought to increase their membership, some 
organizations sought to inform the student body.

The Greek Alcohol Interest Network (GAIN) participated in the fair for the first 
time this year. They wanted to inform both Greeks and independents of the 
University's alcohol policies.

"We're here to show that the new Interfraternity Council's newest regulations are 
less strict," junior Frank Fischer said. "We want to improve the images of both 
the Greek organizations and the IFC, while also informing people of the alcohol 
policies."

KNEU, the campus radio station, provided further information for the public by 
broadcasting live from the fair. The broadcast included interviews with spokesmen 
for many of the clubs, and organizations.

"A lot of people didn't know

KNEU was around," senior Marsha Sundberg, news director of KNEU, said. 
"We had a big platform with all of our equipment on it. That attracted a 
lot of attention. I was really surprised with the turnout. The place was 
packed. We definitely got a lot of exposure."

A good turnout was important to all organizations, and it gave most organizations 
the exposure they wanted. Susan Paris, member of Cardinal Key, said, "I would guess 
at least a thousand" came to the fair. "I'd like to suggest a guest register next 
year." Two more clubs participated this year than last year. However, some of the 
organizations that participated last year did not return, but other organizations 
which did not show last year came this year, she said.

Other organizations involved for the first time were the National Student Exchange 
and the Career Placement Center.

"The Activities Fair is good to have because students can become aware of on- and 
off-campus organizations," freshman Randy Peper said.

"There were a lot of people," junior Bob Berridge, who represented the United Campus 
Ministries, said. "The fair is nice; it's a chance for us to let students know we're

On-the-job homework
by Tammy Ostrander

A unique class is offered to a select group of people. A prerequisite for this class 
is that each student must be a resident assistant.

RA class meets for two hours a week for eight weeks. During the eight weeks the RAs go 
on field trips, meet people and develop leadership and assertiveness skills.

The class helps the resident assistants "have more of a knowledge of the areas they are 
concerned with, to develop confidence, and identify their skill," Karen Cappello, class 
instructor and Centennial Hall director, said.

Each resident assistant must give two programs during a semester. The RAs must find out 
the interests and needs of their wings and then find a speaker who will present the 
program. Reference sheets are handed out to them and they learn how to plan a program 
in class.

The class works with actual problems as well as theoretical ones. The RAs discuss their 
problems with each other and come up with collective solutions. In this way the RAs "get 
a lot of ideas from each other and develop a sense of community," Cappello said.

"RA class doesn't solve every problem, but it does give you a better shot at handling the 
problems you do face," said Dan Buescher, senior.

Fighting and vandalism are strong in men's residence halls and the class helped him deal 
with these problems, Buescher said. For Diana Vogel, sophomore, one of the best things 
about the class is "being with other RAs and realizing that you're not alone."

Even though RAs stand together, they are encouraged to think for themselves. "Whenever you 
state your point of view, you are asked to tell why you feel that way," Vogel said. Because 
of this, she feels she understands herself better.

What do the RAs think of the class? "You learn things that you can incorporate into your 
life," Buescher said. "Everyone should be able to take a course like this." ECHO

Men of Dobson and Missouri peep under the 
by Melanie Mendelson 

In the dark of their rooms, four men station themselves by the windows, armed 
with a pair of binoculars. At the sign of movement in the residence hall across 
from them they become alert.

They are not hit men, spies or ex-cons; they are the local Peeping Toms.

Men on the southwest sides of Missouri and Dobson Halls are within viewing 
distance of the north sides of Brewer and Ryle Halls. With a pair of binoculars, 
they can see clearly into the rooms if the shades are not pulled.

Freshman Matt Wilhelm, Missouri Hall resident, has two pairs of binoculars. 
"The ones that leave their shades up seem like they want us to see them, 
so we look. I guess you'd

call it a show, with lots of panty flashes. Some undress in front of 
the window," he said.

Wilhelm said he brought his binoculars to school because he thought he 
would need them for football games, "but when I got up here and found 
out what room I had, I knew it was a good idea."

Most Peeping Toms find looking into women's rooms a good way to relieve 
boredom.

Wilhelm said he does not look unless other people are in his room, and 
then they clue each other in on what is happening. "It's just for fun," 
he said. "It's a lot of laughs."

Phil Harrison, sophomore, said, "I didn't have anything else to do. Some 
girls forget to pull their shades so we'd see them walking around in their 
nighties and stuff like that."

Freshman Bernie Ryan said, "I'd wake up in the morning and have some extra 
time before classes. I didn't have anything else to do."

Both Ryan and sophomore Mark Ray think fall is the best time of year to watch 
because women leave their windows open in warmer weather.

"They're really naive in the beginning of the year when the weather's warm," 
Ray said. "They leave their windows up all the way and run around in their 
rooms in bras and underwear. They don't catch on at first but toward the 
middle of the year they figure out it's a good idea to pull the shades."

"They leave their bathroom windows open," Ryan said. "Did you know you can 
see right through a fan when it's spinning?"

The times peepers pick to tune in their vision varies from room to room.

Ryan said the best time is in the morning when women are getting ready for 
class, but Harrison said it is better from 11 p.m. to midnight. Ray said, 
"Friday and Saturday nights between 8 and 9 p.m. are best because that's 
when girls are getting dressed for parties."

Ryan said, "If any guy had the opportunity (to look) I'd like to hear him 
say he'd turn his head. Some of the things I've seen are not printable. I've 
seen one girl with a yellow tatoo on her chest. I couldn't see too clearly, 
but it could have been a rose or a butterfly."

Wilhelm said, "It's not really a turn-on, but if there is something going on, 
it's a trip.

"A lot of them know we're looking at them and every once in a while, we get an 
anonymous phone call from someone who's looking at us, too," he said. "It goes 
both ways. Everyone wants to see something." ECHO

A brief episode
by Dave Johnson

"We want silk, we want silk." Women in residence halls rush to the window to 
see a group of lOO to 200 men chanting loudly in unison. One yell of, "Panty 
raid," and excitement sweeps through the halls. Freshmen find themselves in 
another strange situation.

Few rituals succeed in breaking the monotony of residence hall life as completely 
as a panty raid.

For a freshman woman, a first time encounter with a panty raid can be a frightening 
and confusing experience. More often, though, the women find the raids a distraction 
from homework and dorm room blues.

Freshman Fannie Bowdish said the first panty raid on her hall this year was exciting. 
"Some of the men actually came into the dorm and began screaming up and down the halls. 
The RAs were yelling at the men, and the girls were peeping out their doors to see what 
was going on." The raid "really broke the boredom." She locked her own door just in case 
the raiders actually tried to get into her room.

Freshman Terri Johnston said, "I love them. They're lots of fun." Johnston said she has 
also been on a jock raid this year. Jock raids are the feminine answer to panty raids.

Freshman Jayne Johnson also experienced a panty raid for the first time fall semester. 
She thought the raid was simply "funny." Johnson also admitted that she could probably 
be persuaded to join in a jock raid of a men's residence hall.

Not all women on campus are in favor of the raids. Freshman Mary Andrews thinks panty 
raids are "dumb. You'd think these guys had better things to do than run around yelling 
'We want silk,'" Andrews said.

Sharing Andrews' opinion is freshman Francie Dollens. Dollens said she does not think 
panty raids are such a big deal. "Only one person on my entire floor threw panties out 
her window." Dollens also mentioned that the $5 fine for opening screens on residence 
hall windows was a discouragement for many women from letting the silk fly.

Freshmen women may not agree on whether panty raids are exciting or just childish games, 
but most seem to agree with the viewpoint of freshman Kelly Allen, who found that the best 
way she could describe a panty raid was "different." ECHO

In support of panty raids -- Panty raids are usually male-initiated, but the women instigated 
this jock raid, and Beth Harmon, freshman, comes out the victor. Afterward, Harmon called the 
owner, and even met him once, but nothing developed.

Close encounters
by Robyne West

Learning to love, whether it is caring for others or developing a healthy 
self love, can be important in the lives of college students today. Some 
students are developing these emotions by attending Christ Encounters where 
they learn how to love each other, themselves and Christ in a single weekend.

Christ Encounter, which originated at Newman Center in October 1978, "is a group 
dynamic based on scriptural ideas. It's not a group therapy," the Rev.

and Peggy Merrifield wait for activities to begin.

John Prenger, Catholic campus chaplain and Newman Center director, 
said.

He said the Christ Encounter is unique to this university and has its 
roots in Cursillo, a Catholic adult retreat program which means "little 
course" (of Christianity) in Spanish, and in Teens Encounter Christ, a 
program for high school students. "It's almost like the idea dropped out 
of the sky," Prenger said.

As he was talking to a married couple at a wedding in July 1978, they came 
up with the idea of planning a guided Christian experience weekend for 
college students. Then he talked with some students to get their ideas.

Prenger said a maximum of 25 may attend the retreat. Each encounter also 
requires a team of 10 who have attended a retreat before. Prenger said 
there is a high rate of returns, so they are starting to develop a back-up 
list in case some of the team members cannot make it.

Sophomore Larry Davis said he first heard about Christ Encounters because he 
attended Newman Center activities. He said he learned to be thankful for the 
things he has after attending the retreat. As a team member, he continued his 
learning experience. He had to give a talk on friendship and while he was 
studying, he said he realized that all of Christ's people are in the same boat, 
and when a problem arises, they can go to each other.

Learning to serve others is what junior Elaine Kausch gained from serving on an 
encounter team. She said she learned what it meant to serve through preparing 
talks. "It helped me grow more with myself and God," she said.

Glenn Zimmerman, junior, also learned a lot from preparing talks while serving on 
a team. "I was aware of things in my own life and I was giving them to others."

Learning to work as a family was what most of those who attended the retreat 
learned. Senior Deb Brockschmidt said she learned that encouragement in walking 
with Christ comes from "a sense of family. You're not alone. You're with other 
Christians. We're here to help each other."

Prenger said one of the best ways to teach is through the element of surprise. 
That is why those who attend Christ Encounters are not allowed to discuss a lot 
of what happens with outsiders. "There is something

more...

Encounters (cont.)

alluring about it," he said.
"There are a lot of neat little twists and turns. It kind of shows 
something about life."

Prenger said some of the most memorable experiences happen "out of 
the blue."

He did clarify that although there was some secrecy, the retreat is 
not trying to play with anyone's mind. "We're serving up things and 
letting the people decide for themselves. We're not looking for 
forced reactions."

Zimmerman said he was not caught up into a lot of emotion during the 
retreat and that the learning did not hit him right away. He learned 
the most from talking to other students and hearing their views. "I, 
as an individual, have specific responsibilities to Christ in following 
Him. He is singling out each one of us to do a specific thing."

Retreaters do not have to belong to the Newman Center or be of the Catholic 
faith. Brockschmidt said she went with four of her friends from the Lutheran 
Student Movement.

Senior Dave Lagemann said one of the greatest advantages of watching this 
fellowship was to be serving on a team. "On a team, you can see from the 
outside. You can see how the encounter affects a person's life." 

Senior Clara Nicollet enjoyed the fellowship time, also. "I like the fraternity 
between people and the time spent praying and singing. I especially enjoyed 
friendship among the different churches."

This fellowship time happens about five times a year. Prenger said an encounter 
lasts from early Friday evening until about 2 p.m. Sunday. "It's kept at these 
times so people have time to study."

The price of the retreat is $12 to pay for food. He said they have not turned 
anyone away, though, if they could not afford to pay. He also said the University 
helps out with food if those who attended have meal stickers.

Through all the surprises, talks and fellowships, love is given first priority. 
What did Nicolett think was the most important thing she learned? "To love 
people." ECHO

One man radio band
by Kathy Armentrout

Membership in the smallest club on campus plunged to an all time low with a 50 
percent decrease from last year. The Student Amateur Radio Club dropped from 
two members to one.

Maria Evans, senior, club president, vice president, secretary and treasurer 
explained the drop by saying, "My boyfriend was a member last year and isn't 
back this year." She said they expect to recruit new members spring semester 
after a workshop on amateur radio.

Robert Peavler, professor of physics and one of the club advisers said, "An 
operator's license is not necessary to belong to the club." Until the workshop, 
Evans keeps her eyes open for the short antennas that amateur radio operators 
use.

The club has been in existence since 1965 but because it is a special interest 
group, membership was always small. It is so small, in fact, the Student Activities 
Office did not know it existed. During the registration of groups in the fall, Evans 
had to take a copy of the club's charter to the office to prove its existence.

Even with a membership of one the University considers the club an active organization. 
Vonnie Nichols, director of student activities, said, "The University stipulates no 
required membership levels because some organizations appeal to a limited special 
interest group but still have a positive effect on campus." Nichols also said a 
charter can be suspended for inactivity but organizations are given every opportunity 
to prove they are still active.

Though it is difficult to hold activities, the club does participate in nation-wide 
programs. Each year members take part in the Simulated Emergency Test with other 
operators in Adair County.

Sometimes the emergencies are a bit bizarre. "We used to have a man who would report 
a purple sub surfacing in a farm pond somewhere outside Kirksville. You have to respond 
as though it was real," Evans said.

The club can also provide free message service almost anywhere in the world. Evans has 
spoken to people in all 50 states and in about 50 foreign countries.

A student at the University of Helsinki in Finland was a favorite contact. "Everybody 
goes home on the weekends and they have bad food there, too!" Evans said.

As in many other organizations, finances occasionally create a problem. The Amateur 
Radio Club found a way of solving the problem. "We set dues at whatever our costs will 
be and if we need money during the year, we have a special interest fund," Evans said. 
The club takes advantage of all money sources. Even the sponsors pay.

Amateur radio can be an expensive hobby, though. Most of the club's equipment has been 
donated, but it recently purchased a new antenna.

Few people realize that what looks like a miniature ladder outside Science Hall actually 
holds the antenna. "I was operating in the club room when I saw this guy laughing and 
talking about this little ladder. So when he reached for it I gave him a good jolt of 
electricity to stop him from pulling it down. He yelled a lot but he didn't get my 
antenna," Evans said.

Although the Student Amateur Radio Club survived a 50 percent member cut and is the 
smallest organization on campus, Evans does not mind. With only one member, the club 
does not have conflicts of interest. Most motions pass unanimously. ECHO

Spreading the word

"We are not here to convert people to our religion. We are here to serve the 
campus and community and promote a better understanding of Islam," sophomore 
Mohammed Ali, secretary of the Muslim Student Association, said. The organization 
is the second non-Christian religious organization granted a charter, and the 
charter was not granted immediately.

A motion to grant MSA a temporary charter was tabled at the Jan. 21 meeting of the 
Student Senate due to a discrepancy in a compliance form signed by the adviser and 
president of the association, and the actual constitution, senior Sherry McGovern, 
Senate Chartering Committee chairman, said.

"Their original constitution was so impressive we did not find the mistake in the 
membership requirements at first," she said. The compliance form states that no 
person shall be denied membership in the organization because of religion, race, 
color, or national origin. The constitution of the Association stated that active 
membership was only open to Muslim students and that associate membership was open 
to those interested in the religion. "The association was really receptive to the 
needed change and understood. They were just unaware that they were discriminating," 
McGovern said.

The Association struck the associate membership clause from its constitution and 
received its temporary charter from the Senate on Jan. 29.

The organizing of the Association, which is a chapter of the Muslim Student Association 
in the United States and Canada, began approximately a year ago. There are a good number 
of Muslim students on this campus, Ali said. He said there were 40-60 interested members 
at their first meeting. "We felt we needed to organize to celebrate our special festivals," 
freshman Abdur Malik, vice president from Dacca, Bangladesh, said. "On Friday afternoons we 
meet to offer a prayer," he said. "Now that we are organized we can keep Muslim and non-Muslim 
students better informed."

"To make the Islamic religion better understood is the purpose of the Muslim Student 
Association," graduate student Adel

Elnashar, president from Elfaydum, Egypt, said.

Because of the hostage crisis many Americans have a negative view toward 
Islam. Iran did not follow the true Islam faith, Ali said.

"Considering world politics, we wanted to promote the positive side of Islam," 
graduate student Linda Kolocotronis said. She has been a practicing Muslim since 
August of 1980. "I studied Islam and the Holy Koran for about two years," she 
said.

A mystical experience influenced her to become a practicing member of the 
religion, she said. An oath is made in Arabic to another Muslim. Translated 
it says "I confess that there is no God but God, and I confess that Mohammed 
is a prophet of God," Kolocotronis said.

To promote understanding the MSA has planned several activities. Arabic lessons, 
speakers from the MSA in the United States and Canada, athletic events and fund 
raisers are some of the activities.

The MSA will have its temporary charter for one year. After this time period the 
charter will be reviewed by the Student Senate. If it is determined the organization 
has enough interest and is complying with University rules, it will be granted a 
permanent charter. ECHO

Student Association revised its constitution and was officially recognized.

The nature of the sport makes rodeo participants

Rough riders
by Talley Sue Hohlfeld

"Everybody gets to eat a little dirt eventually," Leon Watson, sophomore, 
said. He is a member of the Horse and Rodeo Club, and has been a rodeo 
contestant for several years.

The most common way to get off a horse in rodeo is to fall off. If the cowboy 
is lucky, he won't get hurt.

The club president, sophomore Jim White, has extended an elbow and broken an arm. 
He broke his arm when a horse he was riding fell. "Everybody gets hurt. Most guys 
expect a broken arm."

Freshman Derek Knowler, vice president, was also hurt. During the summer, at an 
Iowa Rodeo Cowboy Association rodeo in Gilbert, Iowa, Knowler was thrown. "I just 
got up and

Real life -- Sophomore Doug Smith was disqualified from the Columbia 
competition because he failed to mark his horse out and because he 
accidently slapped his horse. Smith was thrown and hurt his back

I got hoofs across the back of my head. They caught me right behind the 
jaw, and tore all the skin right off." He also received a slight 
concussion.

"Most riders take a lot of punishment," he said. "If you're in time with the 
horse, he's not going to take you. You take some pretty good abuse." Bareback 
riders have been known to have one arm longer than the other because of the 
strain put on the riding arm.

During the Columbia rodeo Doug Smith, sophomore, was thrown from his horse and 
collided with a fence. "I had come out of the bucking chute, and I marked my 
horse and was in a straight bucking pattern." His weight was thrown a little 
to the right, and the horse started moving in that direction.

He saw the fence in front of him and thought he was getting close. "I started 
hitting my head on posts, and the fence and everything. I said, 'It's time to 
get off.'"

Watson's most severe injury has been badly sprained ankles. "I got throwed and 
landed on my feet crooked. I have bad ankles anyway from football injuries." He 
admits rodeo is a dangerous sport. "I watched a guy get killed once. They say 
rodeo's one of the roughest sports, but what do you consider rough? I've played 
football, too. I've been hurt worse at that than doing rodeo."

White thinks "a lotta desire and a lotta try" are necessary to be a rodeo cowboy. 
"If you don't have a lot of desire for rodeo, you get throwed off the first few 
times. You want to quit."

If Smith has been hurt, why does he continue? "I figure you only go around once. 
It's just like saying, 'Hey, I can do it.' I've always ridden horses, but they've 
always been tame."

Watson finds a unique relationship between the animal and the man. "When you go out 
there it's you and the horse, or you and the bull, or you and the calf, or you and 
that steer. It's kind of a natural sport. Cattle and horses have been my life. It's 
hard for me to be cooped up in a room."

There is a lot of brain work involved in rodeo. Watson said, "I guess what's going 
through your mind when you're sitting on that chute is beating that horse. Not in 
the sense of torture, but in academics. You want to out think him."

The competition also challenges White. "It's man against animal, and competing against 
the next man. It's kind of a three way thing.

"When you draw that good horse you want her to do just the best she can, so you can do 
the best you can. You want it tough all the time.

"As far as horses go, and bulls, too, all they are is an athlete, so in essence that's 
all they live for," White said.

Horses had the edge a few years ago, Knowler said. A change in equipment for the bareback 
rider has changed that by giving the rider a better chance to stay on. "It's more horse 
against cowboy than cowboy against horse. I would say the horses and cowboys are about 
evenly matched," he said.

Because of the risks of injury, cowboys need a certain mental characteristic, Knowler 
said. "You need to be a little bit low on marbles. It's all part of it.

Watson agreed. "You gotta be a little crazy." Does he qualify? "I guess it's in me to 
eat some dirt." ECHO

Beginners' luck

During the fall of 1980, the Echo staff met only one of their 
16 self-imposed weekly deadlines.

Editor in chief Talley Hohlfeld, junior, said this was because 
of the inexperience of the writers, photographers and editorial 
staff.

Few members of the staff had previous college yearbook experience. 
In spite of this, Hohlfeld said, "I think we've learned a lot from 
each other." But it was not easy according to some of the staff 
members.

Sports editor Jim Salter, junior, said that when he first began working, 
he "didn't have a clue as to what to do."

Another new staff member, managing editor Patty Sinak, junior, said that 
her answer to the problem of inexperience was "just ask a lot of 
questions."

Of the few who did have college yearbook experience was layout editor Brad 
Hatton, sophomore. He was a general staff member for the 1980 Echo. He said 
it was hard for editors who have a staff that is entirely rookies. "Sometimes 
it's easier to just do it yourself than to take the time to show someone else 
how to do it."

Salter and junior Melanie Mendelson, feature editor, also agreed that there were 
times when it was easier for them to write stories themselves than to try to find 
writers to take them. Mendelson said she had a problem getting writers to turn their 
stories in on time.

During the fall semester, Mendelson said, she "had to pick writers out of the sky."
During the spring semester, both she and Salter used writers from the Feature Writing 
class. They said this proved to be effective. Hatton also had a hard time getting 
layout staffers to come work.

Because of their inexperience, some of the staff members said they had to learn the 
hard way. "I learned the hard way, by making a lot of mistakes," Mendelson said. The 
problem of writers turning

in stories late put the entire staff behind.

In spite of the lack of staff, a printer's deadline was never missed. "Journalists 
treat deadlines as sacred," senior Jeanette Lueders, copy editor, said. "We took the 
printer's deadlines very seriously, even though we missed Talley's."

Hohlfeld said they often missed the personal deadlines they set. As a result, a new 
system was devised, demanding five spreads, or ten pages, to be completed each night. 
The old system demanded 20 spreads a week, all of which were attempted in one night.

Salter said the new system was better for him than the old one because "things are not 
put off until Wednesday nights."

Hatton said that under the new system, "we just stay in Laughlin Building until we get 
it done."

This involved the layout staff staying until 4 a.m. sometimes, he said. It had been that 
way since the beginning of the spring semester and would continue until spring break, when 
the final spreads were sent to the printers, Hatton said.

Hohlfeld said that she knew the late hours were "hard on the staff," but she saw no 
alternative. She said the old system could have worked if they could have stuck to it 
earlier, but they could not. So the new system was more practical, she said.

Assistant feature editor Carla Robinson, junior, said the system paid off. "We finally 
learned to work together. It shows because we were able to complete the last half of the 
book in one month while it took us four months to do the first half."

In spite of the difficulties, Hohlfeld said that working this year has been fun and "a 
learning experience for all of the staff.

"The Echo will be different because of the newness of the staff who have ideas to contribute 
that have never been used before. Just because we're inexperienced, doesn't mean we're not 
good." ECHO

Rated DOM
by Cindi Slightom

The Delta Omicron Mu (Dirty Old Men) fraternity is 11 years old this year: 
11 years of parties that would make the gang of "Animal House" seem like the 
Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Eleven years of repulsive remarks and obnoxious 
behavior. And 11 years of turning out some of NMSU's and KCOM's most successful 
graduates.

"Most of our alums are either doctors or teachers," Elizabeth Clark, graduate 
student and vice president of the organization, said. "I've seen people that 
were really surprised when they found out that so-and-so was a DOM."

The fraternity was the brainchild of eight Vietnam veterans who came to school 
after the war. Not feeling comfortable with other freshmen, they formed the 
group out of convenience. The practicality of buying an entire keg among buddies 
seemed cheaper than getting drunk downtown.

In 1975, the DOWs were expected to go through the same pledge program and initiation 
ceremony as the men. Then, in the spring of 1977, the two organizations merged. Since 
that time women have served in every office except sergeant-at-arms. Graduate student 
Marcy Thomas, who has been a DOW for 6 1/2 years, is now serving her first term as 
president.

The fraternity is chartered by the state as a non-profit organization, but is not 
recognized by the University. Clark said they have never applied for a charter from 
the University because of its regulations. As alumnus Dale Burton said, "The college 
has not yet conformed to our rules."

Vietnam veterans still form a large part of the membership, so the parties generally 
draw an older crowd. An eye catcher in the living room is a genuine combat helmet -- 
chrome plated. Clark explained that it is a DOM tradition for the actives to challenge 
the pledges to a helmet chug (drinking out of the helmet). This makes the group rowdy 
enough to follow it with three or four DOM specialty songs such as, "God Bless My 
Underwear."

The reason for the fraternity's success in remaining active is simple. Alumni of the 
organization keep in close touch with the chapter and are sent newsletters four times 
a year. "That's one reason the organization has kept going so long," Clark said.

For the reunion festivities over Labor Day weekend, more than 25 alumni were present, 
including 1970 graduate Sam Ross. He is now a practicing doctor of osteopathy in Kansas 
City. "I try to make it back as often as possible, just for the fun, you know?" he said.

The DOM pledge season is lenient compared with other fraternities. Pledges are required 
to carry a beer tab with them at all times during the

eight-week pledge season. They meet once a week with the pledge trainer 
and organize money-making projects to finance their pledge project. The 
helmet was a project of the 1975 pledge class, all Vietnam vets.

The Kirksville DOM chapter is the only one. In 1977 an alumnus transferred 
to Warrensburg and tried to form a new chapter. The group came to Kirksville 
for their initiation ceremony but has since disbanded. "But as far as I know, 
we're the only chartered fraternity that allows women members," Clark said.

The DOMs pride themselves on their reputation for wild parties -- a reputation 
which seems well deserved. A typical DOM party features lewd behavior, moon 
shots and filthy language. For special occasions the deer on the wall wears 
a necktie.

DOMs are also known for their offbeat awards and memorabilia. An old hinged 
door, 1 1/2 feet by 2 feet, covered with names, hangs on the living room wall. 
It is the Door Award. It seems that years ago some DOMs were walking down an 
alley after being in a few bars. One DOM saw the door, which led to a coal 
chute, liked it and took it with him to the next bar. There he was insulted 
by a woman and immediately handed her the door. She thanked him and asked what 
it was for. "For being the biggest bitch on the block," he said. Since then the 
door award has been given to anyone who deserves it.

"The reason we know the story of the Door Award is that it's written up in the 
fraternity history," Clark said.

"Most of our awards die off in a year or two. Since most of them are like a 
you-had-to-be-there type thing," Clark said.

Few sorority women or freshman women ever visit the house, Clark said. But 
some women from Sigma Kappa, Alpha Sigma Tau and Delta Zeta are active DOWs. 
Lee Ann Howard, 1979 graduate, of Alpha Sigma Alpha was made an honorary DOW 
when she was under 21, too young to pledge.

"Honoraries are really hard to come by," Clark said. There are four honorary 
DOMs now. The honor is only given to people who have been extra helpful to the 
organization and have reasons why they cannot pledge.

The group with practically no reason for existence except pleasure might outlast 
some of the other organizations on campus. And will those who are here now come 
back later? For sure. "After all," said graduate Larry Gorsh, "once a DOM -- 
always a DOM." ECHO

A matter of opinion
by Mike Bronson

"The now-playing production of "Hello, Dolly!" is, to put it mildly, a 
disappointment." These were the words of assistant editor Cindi Slightom, 
junior, whose review appeared in the Nov. 20, 1980, issue of the Index. 
She was later criticized.

Sophomore Katie Batchelor played Dolly Gallagher Levi, and Slightom wrote 
that she "lacks pizazz, color and the singing ability the role desperately 
needs."

Sophomore Bill Lemen played Horace Vandergelder, and Slightom questioned 
his singing ability also. The final paragraph read, "Another musical was 
definitely overdue on this campus, but this production is not enough to 
fill the need.

Even though Slightom wrote positive statements about the musical, especially 
about the performances of sophomore Robbie Gleason and senior Lori Lee, three 
rebuttals were written to the Index. One letter questioned Slightom's intentions. 
In the Dec. 4, 1980, issue, junior Mark Spangler wrote, "The story was in fact 
a direct slam and an insult . . ."

Another letter in the same edition questioned her credibility. "(The play) was 
unfairly critiqued," Mary McWilliams, temporary part time assistant instructor 
in language and literature, wrote.

The third letter in the Dec. 11, 1980, Index questioned her responsibility. "A 
reviewer can be objective and honest, and use form constructively, but only if 
he has background ... in the medium he is critiquing. If he does not, then the 
review becomes the worst example of irresponsible journalism," Clay Dawson, 
assistant professor of music, wrote.

Slightom said she was justified in writing the review the way she did. As a result 
of the letters to the editor, she said, "I was hurt, I felt the community would 
know what I was doing. It was a review, just like you would read in the New York 
Times. By no means did I mean to attack those people personally."

Index editor in chief Robyne West, senior, worte an article in the Dec. 11, 1980, 
issue in which she tried "to put the thing in perspective." She wrote that a review 
is simply the author's opinion, something to which he is entitled. "The whole idea 
(of the editorial page) is to give viewpoints and ideas. Our concept of journalism 
is that it isn't just for us (the Index staff). Anyone can write in."

The Index staff had a reaction to the letters to the editor. "To me it was a big unity 
thing. Everyone up here (at the Index office) knows their journalistic rights," West 
said.

Some of West's friends were involved in the "Hello, Dolly!" production, but "none of 
them held it against me," she said.

Yet the people to whom the criticism was directed felt differently. Batchelor was quite 
upset by Slightom's review. "I cried. I was really hurt. That was my baby. I spent hours 
and hours. It made me feel, 'Why do anything if you're going to be picked apart?' Al Srnka 
(assistant professor of speech and director of "Hello, Dolly!") told me that if it wasn't 
true, then disregard it. I think it was unnecessary. Maybe it could have been (published) 
after the play. It made me sick."

Lemen was not upset by the review of his performance, but he was not happy, either. 
"I felt that it had been up to par. I think the review was

justified in a lot of respects. The wording was not too good. They really weren't 
too negative towards me." 

However, Lemen said the impression most people got was that Slightom "had an axe 
to grind, the way she went at it."

Slightom said the writers of the rebuttals "took my review completely out of 
context," and she did not think the review would cause the controversy it did.

But Batchelor and Lemen still think the review was unjustified because "Hello, 
Dolly!" was educational theater.

"It's a learning experience. The stage is here for education," Batchelor said.

Although the "Hello, Dolly!" review appeared on the editorial page, many editorials 
are ill-received by readers. West said she has received a lot of verbal feedback on 
Index editorials from people who knew she was editor.

Whether or not the "Hello, Dolly!" review was justified depends mostly on which side 
of the fence the reader is on. Lemen does not think all campus reviews should be 
positive, but they should, as he put it, "tell it like it is." ECHO

The show goes on
by Chris Schlorke

In the fast-paced world of broadcasting, change is everywhere. A change for 
students involved in the broadcasting world on campus is that the staff 
changes drastically.

But the biggest hole in the "Campus View" staff could be the departure of 
assistant professor of mass communication Al Edyvean at the end of the 
spring semester. At the end of February, the University had not found 
anyone to replace him. The question of how Edyvean's departure will 
affect the future of "Campus View" remains unanswered.

When Edyvean created the news show two years ago, he started with seven 
students, and a lot of ideas. Since then the show has expanded to become 
an approximately 20-student operation. The weekly news show is aired 
Fridays in the

lobby of the Administration/Humanities Building and the Student Union 
Building for one semester.

But senior Chris Putnam, who was a cameraman for "Campus View" during the 
fall semester, does not believe production will shut down when Edyvean 
leaves. "Hopefully they'll get someone who's well qualified and can adjust 
to a campus environment," he said. "If we get someone with creative ideas 
who is willing to push and work for improvement, the students will stay 
motivated. But it's going to be difficult to find someone as outgoing as 
Al -- someone willing to put in the time."

Senior Kathy Harvey, switcher, said "Campus View" will survive. "The way 
I see it, we have enough people who want to keep it going. They're interested 
enough to want to learn more. There are a lot of people who caught on fast 
this semester who would be able to work on it next year.

"I think it's going to keep on going because of the interest. If people are 
interested they're going to demand it, and in the years I've been here I've 
seen the interest grow tremendously," Harvey said.

The "Campus View" staff in general seems to agree that, adviser or no adviser, 
they are not going to let the show die. "The students who have worked to make 
'Campus View' don't want all their efforts wasted," Putnam said.

Junior Gary Pagliai, a member of the crew, said, "I think that we'll be able to 
carry on without him, but we definitely need someone to take his place to advise 
us."

Putnam said, "The quality of the show in the future depends on who they get to 
replace him. If we get a person who's well-qualified it'll be good. We've had Al 
for two-and-a-half years and we learned a lot from him. I'm not saying he's an oil 
well run dry, because he's constantly coming up with improvements for "Campus View." 
But if we get a well-qualified replacement it'll be good to get someone else's fresh 
ideas."

Edyvean has doubts about finding a replacement. "Nobody wants to teach radio and T.V. 
because there's more money in working in the fields themselves. And you need experience 
to be able to teach these courses. The old saying 'Those who can, do; those who can't, 
teach,' isn't true in this area. There are a lot of skills involved in my area and you 
have to have them or you can't teach it."

Edyvean said that with "Campus View," the majority of students involved leave each year 
and incoming students need a lot of leadership. "They need somebody to do most of the 
coordinating until they get three or four weeks into the semester and they can handle 
it on their own," he said. "That kind of coordination isn't going to come easily from 
a faculty person who hasn't been through it before.

"The University is very much behind trying to keep it ('Campus View'), but I think 
they're going to have to make really sure the person they hire understands what's 
involved with that kind of a job. It's not just coming in and teaching television. 
It's a real extra-curricular kind of project, unless they hire somebody else to 
just do the extra-curricular."

Until someone is hired to replace Edyvean, however, the problem will not be one of 
expanding but of keeping "Campus View" going after this semester. As Edyvean put it, 
"The future of 'Campus View' depends on whether someone wants to spend between eight 
and 10 hours of his time per week doing it." ECHO

News spectrums
by Jim Sharrock

"I think experience is the best way to learn. You can't learn to be a 
good broadcaster by just sitting in a class," Ellen Wand, sophomore 
newscaster, said. "You can get the basics from a book but you don't 
know what it is really like until you go out and try it."

KNEU, the campus radio station, provides a chance for just that.

To make KNEU a true-to-life learning experience, it needs to be run by 
students in the manner of a professional radio station.

"The radio station belongs to the students, and I took it away from them 
when I came here to put it together, but now I have given it back to them. 
It is their boat. If it sinks, it sinks because of their lack of interest," 
adviser Al Edyvean said.

Changes begun in the news department last year were continued this year.

objective was getting the news organized. This year we are striving for 
quality," senior Kathy Harvey, station manager, said.

Senior Marsha Sundberg, news director, said the quality has improved. "Last 
year we were doing PSAs (Public Service Announcements) during news because 
we didn't have anything else. Also, we now have 22 people on the news staff 
whereas last semester we only had 14."

This year KNEU has a specific news format that leads off with national news 
followed by sports, local and campus news and finishes with weather. National 
news comes from the Associated Press wire in the library. "We pick three or 
four stories from there and rewrite them," Wand said.

"Campus and local news is gathered from the Newswriting, Introduction to 
Broadcasting and Broadcasting I classes. The newscasters are supposed to 
bring in a story also," Sundberg said. Occasionally there is a taped 
interview to add to the newscast.

In order to improve their newscasts, staff members are critiqued on each of 
their shows. "They tape each show and critique themselves. Then they turn 
their tape in to me and I critique it," Sundberg said.

Throughout the semester, Sundberg expects the staff "to improve as far as 
overall sound, getting rid of nervousness, and in the writing of their 
stories."

For the fall semester senior Jeanne Yakos did the sports by herself. But for 
the spring semester, 11 new people were added to the staff. "We used to have 
one person who did all of the sports. Now we have one person who reads it, 
but several turn in stories to him. We really have a sports team now," 
Harvey said.

The sports portion of the news is produced by the team under sports director 
Dean Watson, sophomore.

An added feature of the sports department this year was live broadcasts of the 
home football and men's and women's basketball games. Interviews with the coaches 
were also on the air. It all began "with taking a tape recorder to the basketball 
games in February 1980. Now we have the Maxi-tel, a form of remote board that has 
a telephone on it," Edyvean said.

Edyvean said he feels that within two years "the radio station will be 10 times as 
important as it is today. Each year the number of mass comm majors increases, so it 
is going to be a lot more competitive to obtain positions on the radio. The people 
at the top will be there because they are good. In turn more people will be listening 
to and depending on KNEU." ECHO

Grave doubts
by Tisha Kincaid

It is midnight. Through the misty glow of moonlight comes piercing silence 
coupled only with a chill of damp spring air. The army of illuminated grave 
markers stands cold and hard, casting shadows upon the earth.

Suddenly the crunch of car tires biting into gravel splits the silence. The 
car comes to a stop and five people get out. Carefully they pick their way 
through the silent stones.

After they reach a designated spot, one member bends down and picks up a small 
black box. Falling back into line, they quickly thread their way back and get 
in the car. They drive away.

Grave robbers? An occult group? Worshipers of the dead? No, just a group of 
students doing another assignment for temporary instructor of psychology Sal 
Costa's parapsychology class.

Senior Lynn Brockfeld said the class was divided into groups, each doing a 
project. "Ours was to take a tape recorder out to a graveyard at night and 
leave it for 10 minutes."

Parapsychology, according to "Parapsychology" by Rhine and Pratt, is a subdivision 
of psychology. It began with interest aroused by reports of spontaneous human 
experiences and events that were said to be psychic.

"When you say 'parapsychology,' people think it's mixed with the occult. It's not. 
It's a hardcore science," Costa said.

There are two main branches of parapsychology: extrasensory perception and psychokinesis.
Rhine and Pratt define ESP as "knowledge acquired in a special way." These special ways 
include telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and spiritualism.

According to Rhine and Pratt, spiritualism is the belief in the existence of a world of 
nonphysical personalities able to communicate with the living through living persons, or 
in the case of this group, a tape recorder.

Brockfeld's group took two tape recordings, one from Forest Cemetery on Osteopathy Street 
and one from a cemetery on a country road.

"On the one from Osteopathy, we heard a knocking noise. That could have been anything," 
she said.

Brockfeld said the only other unusual thing on the Forest Cemetery tape was a truck going 
past. "It was strange because we never heard it continue by. It was just stopped."

Costa related an incident that happened on a grave tape taken two years ago. "We listened 
to this tape on a small recorder and didn't hear anything," he said. However, when the 
student played the tape on his quadrasonic stereo the results were different.

"He distinctly heard the name Helga called, and then the words 'help me.' It really freaked 
the kid out," Costa said.

Karen Deul, senior, said her group

also recorded graveyards. "The only thing we got was lots of wind."

But Deul remembers a tape played in class when there was something more. 
"Towards the end of the tape we heard a definite rhythmic pattern." She 
said it seemed almost as if it was planned not to start until the end of 
the tape. Costa said the class discussed the validity of such experiments 
in great detail. "Experiments done in this area are now using high-geared 
equipment."

Brockfeld said the only thing received from the country cemetery tape was a 
bad case of the shakes. "It was midnight, and it was spooky."

When asked if she or any other class members believed in spiritualism, 
Brockfeld said, "We really didn't believe we'd get anything. We were 
all pretty skeptical."

Costa said he encouraged students to keep an open mind about all areas 
dealt with in the course. "We don't want anyone to think we're conjuring 
up hexes or the like."

Are there past lives trying to get in touch? Can we contact those beyond? 
Deul said, "After seeing, talking about and hearing about this stuff, I 
have to wonder." ECHO

Windfall weathers low readership

Such sudden fortune: 
wind's gift of crisp, ripened fruit 
fallen at our feet.

The above poem is taken from Windfall, the campus literary magazine 
published twice yearly.

Although the magazine has been in existence for five years, it has 
relatively few readers. Senior Riley Ellerbusch, Windfall's production 
editor, attributes this to students' disinterest in an amateur literary 
publication. "They (the students) don't consider it as entertainment," he 
said. "Those who do read it complain that only staff members are published."

Junior Linda Trimmer, Windfall staff member, said most students who are 
interested in Windfall are those who have had a friend who has submitted, 
or are the ones who feel they can do better than what has been published. 
"If they submit, they are automatically more interested because they enjoy 
reading other works by students they compete with," she said.

In spite of a low readership on campus, Windfall does have loyal followers. 
"Since we started 5 years ago, the number of people submitting has increased 
by 30 percent each semester," Shirley Morahan, Windfall adviser, said. "Sixty 
percent of the people published are new writers." Nancy Kiger, assistant 
professor in education, has submitted three poems which were published. "It's 
one of the nicest things that has ever happened to me," Kiger said. "It's a 
nice feeling for people like me who are closet writers because we stand a 
chance of being published."

Kiger said she overheard some students talking about her poems. "It shows that 
students do read it," she said. "The magazine is well-done, and is a fantastic 
experience for the staff in making editorial decisions."

In the five years Windfall has been on campus, 141 writers have been published. 
"Twenty-five percent of the student writers are English majors, 10 percent science, 
5 percent art, 5 percent business and 5 percent theater," Morahan said. "Of faculty 
members, 35 percent were in the social science division, 27 percent in English, 12 
percent in art and elementary education." Windfall has no University funding, but 
exists solely on donations from friends and from those who buy the magazine. "We 
could not support Windfall just on what it costs. The cost of publication is $279, 
and even if we sold them all, it would only bring in $175," Morahan said.

Windfall began in 1976 when a group of faculty and students founded it in order 
to encourage literary publication.

Windfall encourages both students and faculty to submit poetry or prose. "We select 
the stories by a blind jury process," Ellerbush said. "The names are blacked out on 
the copies and the staff reads them and we vote on the ones we

Choice of candidates: debatable

The crowded room was filled with murmurings. Microphones were set up 
and checked as photographers found vantage points. Notes were briefly 
reskimmed and courses of action discussed. The Republican and Democratic 
student representatives held their debate Oct. 29, the night after President 
Carter and soon-to-be-president-elect Ronald Reagan debated.

This was not casual or quickly organized. Local political leaders, attorneys, 
teachers, and former State Representative Gail Novinger were among the 60 people 
gathered in the Alumni Room. "The 1980 Great Debate" was how junior Kent Eitel, 
Political Science Club president, described it.

The debate was delayed by disagreements over the guidelines, but after these were 
settled, the debate began.

Eitel said the debate was held to highlight party platforms and issues facing voters. 
But this was not entirely the case. An inkling of what was to come surfaced in the 
opening remarks. The Republicans said of the Democratic nominee, "In 1976, candidate 
Carter promised he would do something about inflation. Well, he did. Since his election, 
inflation rose 7 percent.

he would do something about high interest rates. Well, he did. During 
his presidency, interest rates climbed from 8 percent to 20 percent.

"Can Americans afford any more of Jimmy Carter's promises? If ever there 
was a time for a change in the leadership of this nation, that time is 
now."

The Democrats responded with a defense of the president's policies. "We 
live in a time when effective policy requires an understanding of the web 
of competing values and interests which exist in our country. We must 
forego simplistic answers for long term solutions for our problems.

"Most of these problems we inherited. Eight years of Republican politics 
left this nation weak, unrespected and deeply divided.

"Today, because of the Democratic partnership, we are a stronger nation.

"And so this party looks to the future with determination and confidence. 
We have been and will remain the party of all Americans." Topics ranged 
from the volunteer army to ERA, from abortion to unemployment and from 
American productivity to foreign affairs. The Republicans criticized Carter 
and the Democratic Congress. The Democrats responded by defending their 
policies and saying that Republican presidents laid the groundwork for 
these problems.

John Anderson's name was not mentioned. Doug Ferguson, freshman and leader 
of the Anderson forces, said they were not involved because this was to be 
a debate on party platforms. As it turned out, "we wish we had been in."

Who gained the most, Carter or Reagan? Diane Indrysek, a junior who leans 
Republican, said she "got to know the issues and got a clearer understanding 
of the candidates, but I didn't change my mind."

Liddy Lister, a freshman Democrat, said, "I got a better view of the platform 
differences, even though my vote stayed with Carter."

There was only a week until elections and the national debates were finished as 
voters departed from the NMS "1980 Great Debate."

Fingerspelling -- During the song practice session, Terri Bock talks with Waneta 
Carriker. Her finger sign stands for the letter "O."

Sign me a song
by Brent McBride

The audience enjoyed every beat of the song. The soloist was a little flat 
and the piano was out of tune, but the audience applauded and did not mind. 
No one minded because no one in the audience could hear.

What the deaf and hearing audience applauded was the beauty of music 
communicated through a singer's hands by sign language.

"It's not hard to learn," Susan Veach, freshman Sign Language Club member, 
said. "When you see someone really good at it, it looks really hard. But 
it's not."

Musical performances are some of the activities that help members of the 
Sign Language Club accomplish their goal of promoting awareness of the
deaf and sign language, while developing their ability to sign.

The club began meeting in the fall of 1979 with about a half-dozen members 
and was granted a University charter in January 1980. Since then the club 
has grown to 15 members, with attendance at meetings reaching 25.

Senior Colleen Ritter, program chairman, said club members range in ability 
from beginners to advanced signers who are fairly fluent. The club is open 
to hearing-impaired people and residents of Kirksville. She said the -club 
is willing to teach sign language to anyone who is interested, whether or 
not they have experience.

Many of the members of the club are graduates of the beginning sign language 
course taught by Nancy Hendrix, temporary instructor of special programs and 
sponsor of the club. She said the class teaches finger spelling and counting 
and equips students with a vocabulary of about 200 signs. A separate course 
in finger spelling was also offered this year. Both courses are electives 
worth one credit hour.

Hendrix said the club helps fulfill the need for an intermediate sign language 
class. Signing skills are sharpened at meetings when members communicate 
verbally and visually

simultaneously, to the best of their ability.

That experience has helped Waneta Carriker, senior and secretary of 
the club, improve her signing skills. "When you get in front of a 
group you go blank," she said. "It helped me to get better."

Charlotte Van Wye, freshman, who is herself hearing-impaired, would like 
to see more people participate in either the sign language classes or the 
club. "They'll both be beneficial someday in your life," she said. "It's 
really beneficial not only just for yourself, but for everyone else who's 
around you."

Sign language is especially important to Van Wye, because there is a 
possiblity it may become her primary means of communication.

A desire to learn another medium of communication was the reason Kathy 
Monson, sophomore, became involved in the club. "I thought I'd be able 
to communicate with people better," she said. "It's really neat that a 
person can communicate without saying one word."

That wordless communication is described in the lines of a song performed 
by the Sign Language Club titled "I Hear Your Hand:"

Give me your hands and learn my language. ECHO

Handling it

Coping with college life can be a difficulty in itself. Functioning with 
a hearing impairment increases the difficulty. That is the challenge facing 
freshman Susan Veach and sophomore Charlotte Van Wye.

Although both Veach and Van Wye can hear well enough to communicate, both have 
turned to learning sign language as a precaution against the uncertain future. 
"If anything ever happens to my right ear I might have to depend on it (sign 
language)," Veach said. She is deaf in her left ear.

"My hearing may last long, but I don't know," Van Wye said. "It may someday 
get to the point that there's no hearing aid that can help."

Two of the most powerful hearing aids manufactured, which Van Wye wears behind 
her ears, compensate for the 70 percent hearing loss in her left ear and 90 
percent hearing loss in her right ear. Without the hearing aids, she can hear 
only very close or extremely high-frequency noises, Van Wye said.

Her loss of hearing has created a problem when using tape recorders in secretarial 
courses because she cannot pick up certain sounds without reading lips. But teachers 
have been helpful, and she only has trouble hearing lectures in large classrooms. 
"I haven't had that much of a problem," Van Wye said. "Some people didn't even know 
that I was wearing hearing aids."

The most frustrating problem Van Wye has encountered was using the telephones in the 
residence hall where she lived for four months her freshman year. "You feel so isolated 
from the other world," she said.

A hearing impaired person must wear a hearing aid with a telephone control, which must 
be adjusted each time the person uses the phone. A special receiver provided by the 
telephone company helped minimize the problem.

Veach is learning to contend with many of these same problems in her first year of 
college. "In one of my classes my instructor talks to the blackboard and his book," 
Veach said. "I depend a lot on lip reading, so I have a problem in that class. But 
I have a suitemate in the same class who takes notes."

Both Veach and Van Wye have learned to cope with college life. Van Wye has grown from 
the experience of attending college with a handicap. "When I first started college I 
was bashful," Van Wye said. "Once I got to know people, I felt freer about going to 
school. I'm not bashful now." ECHO

Hand-delivered message -- The smooth motion of Coleen Ritter and Terri Bock's hands 
form the word "sharing. " With sign language a message may be sent using less time 
than the spoken word.

Special day
by Kathy Armentrout and Cathy Wright

His beautiful balloon -- Junior Ann O'Shea entertains a child during the 
Special Olympics. Sigma Sigma Sigma members helped as entertainers.

"Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." This was 
the motto of the Special Olympics held on Feb. 7. Children from the Kirksville 
and Columbia areas competed in team basketball, running, dribbling and shooting, 
and cheerleading.

The event is sponsored annually by the Student Council for Exceptional Children, 
and volunteers from sororities and fraternities act as referees, escorts, award 
presenters and entertainers.

Delta Zeta member Margaret Howell, junior, said she had enjoyed working with 
children during her practicum at the Kirksville Osteopathic Health Center's 
Diagnostic Clinic, so when she heard about the Olympics she volunteered. 
Howell, a therapeutic education major, escorted small groups of children 
to the contest areas in Pershing Arena. "I had a really good time. I love 
working with them," she said.

Freshman Alpha Kappa Lambda member Garry Alcorn volunteered to referee some 
of the basketball games. He said it was a little difficult at times because 
he had to let some fouls slide by that he would not have in a regular game, 
but it was a good experience. Alcorn said in one of the games he officiated, 
all of the members of one team were deaf.

Cardinal Key was in charge of presenting ribbons to the award winners. Members 
Stacy Cooley, senior, and Kim Silvers, junior, both felt it was a great 
experience.

"The kids were so affectionate. They get so excited when they get an award," 
Silvers said.

Sigma Sigma Sigma members dressed up as clowns to entertain the children. "It 
was great to see their expressions when they saw us," freshman Charlene Perez 
said.

Sue Hardy, freshman, said, "They would hug us and not want us to go."

SCEC president Barb Anderson, senior, said it was a great chance for the kids 
to get together to compete and cheer each other on, but most of the volunteers 
said they had more fun than the children.

"It was great. The best," Silvers said. ECHO

Although giving blood is routine to veterans, first-time donors fear a

Pain in the vein

As the blood donors arrived at the Red Cross bloodmobile, "Will it hurt?" was 
the main question on their minds. There was plenty of time for them to either 
calm their harried nerves or agitate themselves further. A number of steps had 
to be followed before the actual donation.

First the donor filled out information forms concerning his background and 
health. For example, if the donor had taken any medication his blood would 
not be accepted. Next, the donor's temperature and blood pressure were taken. 
These had to be normal for the blood to be accepted. The blood test followed. 
"For me, the worst part is the blood test," senior Barb Anderson said. "I hate 
having my finger pricked."

If the donor passed the tests, he qualified to donate blood. This might or might 
not have been welcome news. "I was scared at first, and as I went through each of 
the tests, I became more scared. I was kind of hoping that they'd come up with a 
reason why I could not give, but they didn't, and I went through with it," freshman
Terry Swan said.

The donor then was directed to a cot where he lay in a semi-reclining position. 
The nurse swabbed the donor's arm, gave him a rubber ball to squeeze to keep the 
flow of blood flowing smoothly, and inserted the needle. Most donors have agreed 
that the needle does not really hurt, but it is an unpleasant sensation. "I've 
given a lot of blood, and it is a relatively painless experience," Tim Agan, 
senior, said. "It's just a little prick. It doesn't hurt."

After the donation was completed and the needle removed, the donor was escorted 
over to the canteen, where refreshments were provided. After a 20-minute waiting 
period, the donors were allowed to leave.

Most donors thought that the first time was the worst. "It gets easier every time," 
Ellen Haegele, senior, said. "I was tense the first time."

Agan agreed. "It's kind of like taking a fish off of a hook. After the first time it 
doesn't bother me at all."

Those who were nervous about donating could rest assured that professionals were taking 
the blood. The Red Cross provided the nurses and equipment for the blood drives.

Although few donors had unpleasant reactions, the sponsors of the blood drive were 
instructed what to do in such a case. Swan explained, "I started to get really sick, 
so they had me lie down until I got over it."

Anderson had a similar experience. "I nearly fainted twice and they made me lie down 
and put wet cloths on my face. Then I was fine."

Many donors were terrified about giving blood. But Swan was able to overcome this 
because "the nurse was great. She explained everything to me, so I knew what was 
going on. Then I wasn't as scared."

Haegele said, "They have done this hundreds of times before. When they (the Red 
Cross) arrive, they just take over. They are very good about calming scared people."

Rest and relaxation -- Freshman Chris Koff waits for a nurse to take a pint of his 
blood. The blood drive was a joint effort of Cardinal Key and Blue Key.

How many in your party?
by Dave Johnson

A new policy concerning Rieger Armory parties went into effect in the fall of 
1980, and some students feel it has solved more than one problem. In the past, 
there was never a limit to the number of parties a campus organization could 
hold in the Armory, said National Guard Technician Terry Jarvis. He is in charge 
of rentals. As the popularity of Armory parties rose, so did the number of parties. 
During the 1979-1980 school year, a total of ten Armory parties were sponsored by 
campus organizations, all of them held on a Friday or Saturday night.

Jarvis said some off-campus organizations felt the University groups were monopolizing 
the Armory on the weekends. So the Armory Advisory Board developed a new policy limiting 
the number of Armory parties any campus organization could hold to two per calendar year. 
This policy became effective at the beginning of the 1980 fall semester.

Although the new policy limits the number of parties this year, not all students think 
it is a bad idea. Vets Club President Sam Guzzo, junior, feels that the popularity of 
Armory parties began to fall in the spring of 1980 because of the high number held 
during the year. The Vets Club sponsored six parties of its own.

The Delta Chi social fraternity president, senior Tim Rector, said there were so many 
parties at the Armory last year, people were getting bored with them. "It was getting 
so there was one every other week," he said. The Delta Chi sponsored two parties during 
the 1979-1980 school year.

He thinks the new policy will prevent people from becoming bored with the parties by 
limiting the number available.

According to Guzzo, the popularity downfall can be seen in the attendance records of 
last year's Armory parties compared to this year.

The average attendance of the Vets Club sponsored Armory parties held last year was 
1,000, Guzzo said. Attendance ranged from 500 to 1,500. He also said the parties held 
in the fall of 1979 were attended better than those in the spring of 1980, indicating 
a decline in popularity as the year went on.

Last year's average of 1,000 can be compared to the attendance of 700 at the only Armory 
party the Vets Club sponsored in the fall of 1980.

Rector said the Armory party Delta Chi sponsored in the fall of 1980 was poorly attended.

Guzzo said this showed that student boredom with the parties continued into this year. 
He feels the new policy, designed to help the community, will also solve the problem 
now facing Armory parties. "If we keep up the present number of parties, popularity 
will go up."

The Horse and Rodeo Club sponsored an Armory party this year during the fall semester. 
Jim White, president of the Horse and Rodeo Club, said although some people may have 
become bored with the parties, they remain a profitable venture.

White said 1,500 people attended the club's party, and the club made a good profit. He 
said attendance at their party was probably higher because it occurred during Homecoming 
weekend, but they were "ready to do it again." This is the first year the Horse and Rodeo 
Club has sponsored an Armory party.

Junior JoEllen Johns said she does not attend Armory parties any more because fights often 
occur, and because of the beer on the floor.

Junior Sue Iman also said she stopped going to the parties because they were "too rowdy." 
She said there were too many conflicts between college students and people from town.

resident who has worked as Armory janitor since 1979. He said he could see 
no changes in attendance or any other aspect of the parties over the period he 
has been working there.

People have always been allowed to bring alcohol into the building as long as 
it was not in a glass container, he said. Fights and rowdiness have always 
been kept to a minimum. According to Smith, the Armory parties are just as 
popular as they ever were.

If the popularity of the Armory party really did start a downfall last year, 
the new policy change may succeed in keeping the Armory party a special 
event. ECHO

A couple of pointers -- At the Vets Club ticket booth, juniors George Taylor, 
Sam Guzzo (club president) and Terry Koertel sell tickets. The club sells 
tickets in the Student Union Building also.

Chug-a-lug -- Armory parties are popular events, and on the party nights the

Indian winter

Although it is not officially spring, freshmen Debbie Gaunt and Mickey Talbot and 
junior Scott Anderson sit beside a dry fountain to enjoy the February sun. Weather 
fluctuated from 60 degrees to a snow-filled sky and back to 50 degrees. The fountain 
is drained in November and left barren until April when it is again turned on, 
signifying spring and warmer weather.

Little coach in a big league

An avid spectator of men's basketball, 10-year-old Aaron Pitney keeps his eye on 
all the action on the court. Pitney, the son of Coach Ben Pitney, was the ball 
boy for the Bulldogs. At the game against Northwest Missouri State, Pitney yells 
at the players about their defense. His brother Boyd is a player for the team.

choice review
 

(Page 413)

We made the choices. Sometimes the choice was not important and sometimes it was. 
Decisions ranged from what we wanted on our pizza to who we wanted to lead our country.

There is a season-- The pods of the locust tree on the north side of the library sketch 
a geometric design against a Kirksville sky.

Looking up--During a soccer game, sophomore David Gregory glances at the scoreboard 
to see how close the score is.	

Upside down--The Quadrangle becomes a popular place to study for graduate student Chanya 
Wongdraivet when spring comes to Kirskville. 
 

(Page 414)

The long and winding road--As warmer weather approaches, junior Charles Cooper a
nd sophomore Jim Harlan stroll to Missouri Hall.

Proper perspective--Focusing in on a target, freshman June Shaw counts her score. 
Shaw goes to the rifle range to practice for the rifle class.	

We made the choice. Sometimes we chose not to do anything. Although it was a small number, 
seven percent of those required did not register for the Selective Service. Others did not 
vote because they felt none of the candidates were qualified.

Dark shadows--The afternoon sun produces a maze-like effect as it shines through the railing 
on the concrete mall of the Student Union Building.

Choices in time

We made the choices. But this is a continuo process. College life prompts us 
to make our own decisions. We have to make our own schedules, budget our own 
time and money, and choose a career. Whether or not we are happy with the 
results, it will always be A TIME FOR CHOICES.

yearbook has an important job. It must take an objective look at the 
school year, forgetting any biases. It must not gloss over the events of 
the school year; a yearbook is not accurate if it ignores that which has 
a negative connotation, just as it is inaccurate if it ignores that which 
is good. Often it is the only source of memories unaltered by time.

We have tried to find those things which made this year stand out; those 
events, people and issues which did not happen the same way in any other 
year. Each person has his own memories, but we have tried to find a broad 
selection and still fit it in 416 pages.

It's a difficult job: one that no person is qualified to do by himself. 
But I had help.

HI I Jeanette, Melanie and Carla brought ideas from a lot of different 
perspectives: Greek, residence hall, off-campus, etc.

Kathy Armentrout, an Echo gold-star staffer in the fall, became a member 
of the graveyard crew (Kathy, Brad, Steve and myself). Her enthusiasm and 
loyalty gave us all a lift.

Brad's eye for design and his uncomplaining loyalty were major factors in 
the quality and completion of the 1981 Echo. Matt and Steve were working 
graveyard shift long before they were offered a position. Stuart's sharp 
eye brought us some of our best pictures, and Carl devoted much time and 
effort to his job.

Another Echo gold-star staffer and a gold-star roommate, Cathy Wright was 
a constant source of help and encouragement, not just to me, but to the 
entire staff.

Jim appeared late in the season to take the position of sports editor, and 
proved to be a valuable staffer.

Patty, the Echo's first true managing editor, was almost the single most 
important factor in meeting January and February deadlines.

Last but definitely not least, already my mentor for her editorship of the 
1980 book, Nancy was always ready to help us evaluate our work and improve 
it.
 
Because of these people's dedication and ideas, this yearbook is complete 
and, we think, good. It will be tough to match the award-winning status of 
the 1980 Echo, but we like our book. We hope you do, too.

To all concerned:
In December of 1980, I, Guy David Johnson, submitted to the 1980/31 
Northeast Missouri State University yearbook staff a feature story 
concerning student pilferage of cafeteria property.

In this feature, I falsely accused Ron Essenberg of taking four or five 
glasses from Missouri Hall cafeteria. I also used his name to credit 
quotes which he did not make.

There is no truth to any part of the article which involves Ron Essenberg. 
These falsifications were not included maliciously, but as a very 
irresponsible act commited by myself, Guy David Johnson, under deadline 
pressure. The yearbook editors and staff which printed the article in the 
Echo were in no way aware of the falsehoods contained in the article.

For what it is worth, I extend my sincerest apologies to Ron Essenberg 
for any damages which might result from this article.

As a journalist and a friend of Ron's, I am deeply ashamed of what 
I have done.

Sincerely,
Guy David Johnson
