With a proud smile, former University President Charles McClain unveils the newly-named McClain Hall 
dedication plaque. The hall was formerly called the Administration/Humanities building, but was 
renamed to honor McClain for his 20 years of service to the University as president. The ceremony made 
a legendary change on campus as McClain left his mark on the university he worked so hard to bring into 
the limelight. (photo by Ray Jagger)

Legendary. One simple word summed it all up. From the news that plans were underway to find peace 
in the Middle Fast, to the thrill of victory for Olympic athletes Bonnie Blair, Paul Wylie and Kristie 
Yamaguchi, the year was filled with momentous events. Our world map was once again altered as the 
Soviet Union became the United Commonwealth of Soviet States, dealing Communism a swift blow.

While the Soviet states were finding their way, the United States was trying to get its economy on the 
right path. Although there were some attempts at economic reform, many Americans had to be pointed 
in the direction of the umemployment lines. Presidential candidates tried to appeal to the American 
people by promising to lead the way to a new America while George Bush portrayed himself as the only 
real economic savior.

Although we were inundated with news of the heated presidential elections, the year also proved to be 
a legendary battle between the sexes.

Legendary boxing champion Mike Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison for raping a Miss Black 
America beauty contestant in Indiana.

William Kennedy Smith, kin to the legendary Kennedy clan, was acquitted of his rape charges in Palm 
Beach, Fla. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas defended himself against law professor Anita Hill 
on charges of sexual impropriety. He was later, approved for court appointment by the Senate. 

Meanwhile, Northeast jumped on the bandwagon by mapping out a sexual harassment policy which 
encompassed definitions for both sexes.

Sex was on the minds of Americans as Magic Johnson announced he was HIV positive. Suddenly, "safe 
sex" became one of the year's catch phrases, while hundreds of celebrities rushed to fight for the cause.

And the fight continued against an increase of handgun violence. Students were gunned down in 
schools, restaurant patrons were gunned down in Texas and spouses were murdered for insurance 
money.

A different fight was intensified to save the environment. Everyone from rock stars to the common man 
reached out to do their part whether it be producing public service announcements or recycling soda 
cans.

Despite the fast changes in our world, American pop culture still hasn't changed much. Americans still 
swore Elvis was alive and we still didn't know who killed JFK, but the legends lived on...

Lifestyle
Mapping One Out

Like Columbus, Magellan and DeSoto, you faced uncharted territory when you first stepped foot on 
campus.

Suddenly, your lifestyle just didn't fit. How could all of your stuff possibly fit in that tiny room? Meals 
were served only at certain times?

Looking back, the adjustment didn't seem all that bad. Finally, you were able to put midnight curfews, 
borrowing the family truckster and hanging out with the high school crowd behind you. Now you lived 
the life you chose.

You've grown accustomed to the college lifestyle. Here it was O.K. to study until you dropped, to party 
until all hours of the night or to hang out with a small group of friends. You could live your life minute to 
minute or have the next four years planned in your handy-dandy daily planner. Whatever lifestyle you 
chose, only you could make the decision and only you could change your mind.

You were living it -- the college lifestyle. You weren't given any instructions or a map to follow. Instead, 
you explored on your own and devised your own plan.

Campus flares up
Homecoming sparks week of activity

The University got fired up about Homecoming 1991 and its theme "Light My Fire." From Oct. 21-27, 
events sparked the imagination of students, faculty and administrators.

"We were able to generate a lot of excitement this year," junior Eric Laverentz, Homecoming chair, said.

The week blazed to a start with a bonfire in the Centennial Hall parking lot, sponsored by SAB. The 
Golden Spike supplied the laughs with two comedians who performed at the kick-off celebration.

The SUB Alumni Room bustled with activity Wednesday when students voted for Homecoming royalty. 
Senior Craig Dooley, junior Chadd Lamason, and sophomores Todd Fitts, Greg Godi and Mark Saxon 
competed for king. Seniors Lori Colburn, Tonia Topliff and Susan Torrillo, and juniors Tina Burckhardt 
and Jamey Meneley vied for queen.

Students cast over 1,400 votes in the final election.

"We had more people than ever before," Laverentz said.

SAB presented Oliver Stone's movie The Doors Wednesday night in Baldwin Hall
Auditorium.

Thursday showcased a variety of Homecoming events. Events ranged from a volleyball tournament 
sponsored by the Accounting Club to Amnesty International's T-shirt auction. Students participated in 
the Wacky Olympics with events like the caterpillar race, the balloon toss and human bowling.

"I liked not only the variety of events, but also the fact that it didn't cost anything to watch most of 
them," freshman Ann Steffen said. "I think that's important for college students to have activities that 
are fun but don't run you broke."

The excitement mounted Friday with the pep rally in Baldwin Hall Auditorium. The NMSU Showgirls, the 
cheerleaders and the High Street Dancers kept spirits soaring. The top three organizations in the skit 
contest competed before a packed theater.

"A lot of hard work by the cheerleaders and the Showgirls brought the pep rally to life," sophomore 
Theresa Lange said.

The coronation took place at 6 p.m. Former Homecoming queens Nancy Morris Chambers, Angie Hamm, 
Tina Kruse, Debra Moore McCormack, Milly Dimmitt Rash and Amy

Homecoming loss fails to dampen party atmosphere

Ricker were presented before the ceremonies.

After all of the hoopla, Greg Godi and Tina Burckhardt were crowned king and queen.

"I was excited when I found out I won because I felt like I was representing not only Phi Kappa Tau, but 
also the football team," Godi said.

"For me, the most exciting things about winning were knowing that my family had driven to Kirksville 
because I was nominated and hearing my sorority sisters go wild when my name was announced," 
Burckhardt said.

Later Friday night, the "C'mon Baby Light My Fire" Homecoming dance was held in Rieger Armory. 
Dozens of couples scorched the dance floor until well past midnight.

Saturday began cold and drizzly, but that didn't dampen the spirits of the people who lined the streets 
for the Homecoming parade. The parade featured floats, cars and bands from all over northern 
Missouri.

"I think the parade was bigger this year than last year," sophomore Tricia Anderson said. "The people 
were really involved and I think it showed a lot of school spirit."

That afternoon, thousands of students and alumni packed Stokes Stadium for the football game against 
the Mules from Central Missouri State University (Warrensburg). The Bulldogs kicked off at 2 p.m. for 
what proved to be an tension-filled game. Even with the game going into overtime, the 'Dogs still 
sustained a 38-37 loss.

"The game was really exciting," freshman Teri Boyles said. "Coming from a small town, I had never been 
to a football game before."

The soccer team also played a big match on Saturday. They faired better than the football team, though, 
as they defeated the University of Missouri -Kansas City Kangaroos 3-2.

Saturday night, Rita Rudner, one of the nation's hottest comediennes, performed in Baldwin Hall 
Auditorium.

"Her act was funny, but it was a little bit short," freshman Paige Williams said. "She talked about 
marriage and men and how they won't cook unless it involves risk."

Perhaps the most unusual idea for a homecoming event this year was the "President for a Day" contest, 
sponsored by the Blanton-Nason Hall Senate. In a drastic example of role reversal, President Russell 
Warren traded his briefcase and wingtips for a backpack and tennis shoes. Freshman Scott Russell 
assumed Warren's job for a day.

"I learned a lot from the experience," Russell said. "In the morning, I met with various admissions 
officers who talked about their jobs and about the admissions process. That evening I attended an 
alumni social function in Kansas City."

Few events could match Homecoming 1991 for its energy and excitement. The unique theme and well-
planned events made it a homecoming that will burn in the memory of the University for years to come.

Spots rain on week
Weather doesn't dampen spring festival

See Spot. See Spot wag his tail at bystanders. See Spot raise money for the Adair County Humane 
Society. No, this wasn't reading material for a fluff class and it wasn't what your roommate said after her 
mind snapped during finals week.

"See Spot" was the theme of Dog Days, March 29-April 4. The theme came with a mascot, Spot, a puppy 
the committee adopted from the Humane Society. In a promotion called "See Spot Find a Home," 
students gave donations to enter the drawing to win Spot. The dog was given away during Late Night 
With Dobson Hall Saturday.

Dog Days Chairperson Cyndi Clamp said giving Spot away was something they planned early on.

"We got the idea to give away the dog at our very first meeting," Clamp said. "As soon as we came up 
with the theme, Julie Bridgman thought it would fun to give away an actual dog and we all thought it 
was a good idea."

The Dog Days committee might have had good ideas, but they couldn't stop the rain which all but 
destroyed Saturday's SAB carnival. Most of the booths closed early and all the rides were closed about 4 
p.m.

Many students expressed disappointment at the weather.

"I walked around at the carnival and saw a lot of the things they were supposed to be having," senior 
Jeff Grewe said. "It looked like it would have been a really good time for a lot of people if only it hadn't 
rained."

Clamp said other events which had to be cancelled because of weather included Volleyfest Sand 
Volleyball and Little Wheels, Big Tykes, a tricycle relay race.

But the rain couldn't dampen the week completely. Students and organizations attempted to move the 
fun indoors. About 15 organizations set up booths in Kirk Gym Sunday. They sold food, t-shirts and 
memorabilia advertising their organizations. Some organizations offered midway-style games like the 
ring toss.

Senior Laura Haynes-Henke said she enjoyed visiting the booths.

"We usually think of NMSU as a really small, homogenous campus," Haynes-Henke said. "Events like this 
give you a better idea of who's really here and what they repre-
sent. My only complaint is that there should have been more groups selling food because there wasn't 
much variety."

Clamp thought the most popular events were the Mis-Led pageant, Battle of the Bands and Late Night 
With Dobson Hall.

Junior Jenny Harper said she attended Mis-Led because it was a unique sight.

"Just picture all the types of men who walk this campus," Harper said. "Now picture them in makeup 
and high heels. Where else can you see a sight like that?"

Junior Gary Kellenberger, as Missionary, won first prize, a $50 scholarship. For the evening gown 
competition, Kellenberger strutted "her" stuff in a skin-tight, off-the shoulder, black gown. He 
completed the ensemble with fishnet stockings and black heels.

"The girls who live in my hallway talked me into entering the contest," Kellenberger said. "They also 
designed my costumes. I talked myself out of backing out and decided to just go out there and have 
fun."

Other students showcased their talents at Late Night With Dobson Hall, a variety show featuring 
everything from comedy to music, including the band Fractured Lime Convention.

"I think amateur performances like this one really do have something for everyone," sophomore Kevin 
Layton said. "Not only do you always get a few great acts, you inevitably get the ones so bad they set 
everyone laughing."

For those who preferred more music and less comedy, O.S.C.A.R. sponsored the second annual Battle of 
the Bands. Bands performing included The Bluedinis, The Happy Blades of Grass, Petting Zoo, The Iowa 
Pork Queens and Buzz Dino and the Voodoo.

Clamp said she was satisfied with the attendance at the events which weren't ruined by the weather.

"It's good that a lot of people took advantage of the events, especially with everyone so busy at this 
time of the semester," Clamp said. "I guess all of us on the committee would have liked to see even 
more participation, but all you can do is offer a variety of things, get the publicity out there and let 
people choose what fits their interests."

Acting Out
Student productions evoke laughter and awareness

The Mad Hatter took the student's arm and squealed, "These are the best seats in the house!" as he 
escorted him to the open seats beneath the cashier's window.

"Nope! Nope! Nope! These are the best seats in the house!" declared the March Hare as she grabbed 
the student's other arm and pulled him to a spot closer to the business office.

Anyone walking through the doors of McClain Hall on the evenings of Nov. 18-20 was fair game to the 
characters from Alice, an innovative student production by junior Julie Sharp.

"It tries to see what possibilities the theatre might have, as well as old themes articulated in new ways, 
or new themes that are, perhaps, very contemporary or of immediate concern to the audience," Lee 
Orchard, associate professor of dramatics, said.

Orchard considered Fascination of Need by senior Derek Donovan, innovative in many ways. The play, 
more typical of cinema than theatre, centered around UFOs.

"The idea came from a newspaper article about someone in Kansas who thought UFOs were going to 
come and take him to Heaven on Judgement Day," Donovan said.

Donovan said he wasn't interested in providing a lot of special effects because he wanted to stay with 
the text and away from trickery. The show was performed in the round, on a platform in the studio off 
Baldwin Hall's Little Theatre.

"What was interesting was his use of both classical and conventional techniques," Orchard said. "He had 
this green platform with patterns on it and funky lighting and music projected in the environment and 
that was about it. Yet, within that, he used Greek conventions of a chorus that would come on [stage] 
with stylized helmets on their heads. It was a really interesting wedding of new stagecraft with old 
conventions."

June Sullivan, assistant professor of communication, added another aspect to Orchard's definition.

"Rather than a new form of theatre, I think it's theatre that gets us to look at things in a new way -- a re-
examination of an old idea or 'nova theatre,"' Sullivan said.

Students had their own opinions about what was innovative in the performance realm. Junior Jennifer 
Forrest said she thought innovative student productions presented ideas in a new light.

"Many of the shows I am familiar with on this campus are presented for entertainment purposes," 
Forrest said. "The Unheard Voices show is asking for social change and is not purely for entertainment."

Senior Tim Naeglin, compiler, producer and director of Unheard Voices: The Writings of AIDS Patients 
also helped direct Relationships Are Hell. Naeglin said Unheard Voices was innovative for this university 
because it was asking the audience to change or enhance its opinion.

Perhaps taking an innovative approach to performance meant tilting common ideas. But just as Alice 
glimpsed through the looking glass, innovative student productions allowed their audience to glimpse 
alternative views through the realm of the theatre.

Band lights it up
Smithereens concert really smokes

The Smithereens entertained a crowd of about 500 people in Pershing Arena on Nov. 9. Richard X. 
Heyman warmed up the crowd. Despite the small audience, the intensity of the crowd remained high.

SAB selected the Smithereens after looking at other bands like Jesus Jones and Foreigner.

"We wanted to try a band that was geared more towards the college crowd rather than the whole 
community," SAB concert chairperson Thad Schuler said.

The total production cost about $24,000, and because of attendance, SAB lost $14,500. Some students 
think this was due to a lack of advertisement.

"I felt that SAB advertised the concert too late," junior Christine Rother said.

Schuler disagreed.

"There was a lot of stuff going on that weekend which may have resulted in the low concert ticket 
sales," Schuler said. "The ticket price may have been too high, or there may not have been enough 
publicity about the band from their record label."

Favorite songs the band performed included "Cigarette," during which lead singer Pat DiNizio lit up a 
cigarette and passed it around the audience. "Blood and Roses,"

"Top of the Pops," and "Girl Like You" also entertained the crowd.

"I thought the concert was excellent because they played a lot of their old material as well as their 
newer songs," senior Dirk Stallmann said. "It was a really good, solid performance, very energetic and it 
got the crowd motivated. This band deserves more support and recognition."

"I've liked the Smithereeens for a long time, and it was exciting to see them in Kirksville," sophomore 
Laura Jones said. "My favorite part of the show was when they played 'Cigarette'."

"The band was really enthusiastic for playing to such a small crowd," junior Matt Freeman said. "They 
were really interested and cared about the show and were not just going through the motions."

"The size of the crowd didn't even matter to me because those who were there were really hyped up 
and into the concert," sophomore Tanya Fiedler said.

The concert ended with a Beatles' medley which included "Yellow Submarine."

"The audience participation was great during the medley and it continued the involvement of the 
crowd," junior Lara Stutte said.

Local Bands
Providing the college sound from new wave to reggae

They probably weren't in it for the money. They didn't want to be world-famous. They didn't have 
videos to play on MTV. They might not even have played too well.

College bands had been a tradition on campuses for years. Musically inclined students, and even some 
not-so-musically inclined, formed bands to release their creative energy.

A laid back attitude typified many college bands. Drummer Jim Lehman found The Petting Zoo in a 
typical way.

"I answered an ad," Lehman said. "They posted it in Violette Hall. It said they wanted an alternative 
drummer. They were two guys in Nason Hall named Scott and Todd."

"Todd lived next door to me in Nason," junior Scott Ludtke said. "We met when I was carrying my guitar 
up the stairs one day and he was coming up carrying a bass."

For some bands, different musical styles could be a hindrance. Kirksville's only rap group, Free/Bass, got 
a lot of respect -- and a lot of headaches.

"It sucks being the only rap act in Kirksville," James McBain, who does music for Free/Bass as DJ Grundo, 
said. "People say, 'You guys are so great,' but compared to what?"

"Rap just doesn't have a big following here," McBain said. "Most bands do cover versions of other 
people's stuff. With rap, you can't do other people's material. If people come to see you live, they want 
to see what you can do."

Free/Bass didn't perform as often as they wanted, partly because rap performance was so different 
from other live performances. Rap required an intricate mix of pre-recorded materials.

Other bands were more successful in finding places to play. Meg Weber, vocalist for the Happy Blades of 
Grass, talked about some of the ups and downs the band had at different venues.

"The first time we really played anywhere, we played Jack Ruby's with Aunt Gladys," Weber said. "But 
we had to help rent a P.A. for sound."

For payment, the two bands were allowed to split the night's cover charge. The Happy Blades of Grass 
hoped the money they made would help offset the cost of the P.A.

"We made 26 cents to split between the four of us," Weber said.

The band had better luck when they played the Blue Note in Columbia. In fact, the person who booked 
them at the Blue Note expressed interest in getting them other shows.

One Kirksville band even planned to tour out-of-state. Sticks and Stones, a Christian rock band, has 
already played in Kansas City, St. Louis and parts of Illinois.

"We are looking to do a tour of Texas for one or two weeks," Clint Harris, bassist for Sticks and Stones, 
said. "We mostly play churches because obviously the bars don't want you if you're a Christian band."

Despite this, Sticks and Stones achieved enough success to consider taking the plunge and going 
professional.

"This would be a full-time job," Harris said. "We'd get so much money a month, just like any other job. 
You can't have a regular job and tour. It's kind of scary when you think about it."

22 ~ Proposition B
 
(Page 23)

'B' not meant to be
Adair county wins, rest of state loses

We heard it around campus, in debates and passing comments. It was big. For many people, it became 
the biggest issue on campus. It was important. It gave students the chance to make a difference. It was 
Proposition B, an 87-page tax proposal for the state of Missouri and it failed almost two to one.

Proposition B would have generated $385 million through a 3/8 cent sales tax increase, a corporate tax 
increase and a 10 percent tax increase on tobacco products. The money would have gone to the public 
education system, including higher education. The proposal tied increased funding for higher education 
to reforms like smaller class sizes and limited administrative growth.

Students expressed concern that if the reforms could not be implemented, and the funding could not be 
found, the future of Missouri could be jeopardized.

"When you invest in education, you're really investing in the future," senior Sal Montalbano said.

From the early part of October until the referendum on Nov. 5, newspaper, television and radio ads ran 
throughout the state, both for and against the bill. The campus became a campaign headquarters for 
Proposition B. "Vote Yes on Prop B" appeared on bulletin boards, dormitory doors and walls. President 
Russell Warren urged students to vote "yes."

"The level of involvement was outstanding," senior Nikki Phillips said. "We showed Adair County what 
was possible with the student vote."

But not all students supported Proposition B. Some students thought corporate taxes should have been 
raised more, others thought Proposition B should have addressed problems besides education.

Students opposed to Proposition B made up the minority, though. The majority of students supported 
the proposal however they could. Students helped with voter registration, held forums and distributed 
information about the proposal to their parents.

On Nov. 5, all the effort by students and faculty proved successful, but only on the county level. 
Proposition B passed in only two of the 114 counties, Adair and Boone. Both counties contain state 
universities.

Many students had personal opinions about why Proposition B failed.

"I think it was too much, with all of the different facets of the bill, for the public to understand," Phillips 
said. "If we'd kept it simple, like just higher education, it would have passed."

Freshman Angela Harlan said most people didn't understand the proposal.

"There were too many details that people could not understand," Harlan said. "And then there's the 
lottery, the money was supposed to go to education. Where's it at?"

Sophomore Jim Gilley said fear of taxes caused the failure.

"Everyone is afraid of taxes now," Gilley said.

"People just don't want to pay higher taxes," junior Larry McFall said.

Whatever the reason for it, Proposition B's failure will affect the future of the University. The day after 
the vote, President Warren told an assembly of students and faculty that tuition must be increased.

"Proposition B was not about whether Northeast will receive additional funds. It must," Warren said.

Proposition B's failure means a tuition increase, but the increase will be drawn out over a period of 
years.

Warren also said financial aid must be increased so no student will be denied access to the quality of 
Northeast.

Warren began preparing for Proposition B's failure several weeks prior to the vote. With the help of 
Controller Judy Mullins and Jack Magruder, vice president for academic affairs, he began to study the 
possibility of a long-range financial plan for the University. Once the study is complete, new revenue 
sources can be sought to maintain the level of quality at Northeast.

The optimism Warren displayed helped improve the situation. Harlan said her outlook changed after 
Warren's speech.

"I was really worried about tuition increasing drastically next year," Harlan said.

The financial outlook for the University may have been hurt when Proposition B failed, but things might 
improve in the future. The Missouri General Assembly is considering other tax proposals and students 
may once again make a difference.

Help Line
Volunteers sacrifice time to help sexual assault victims

Two services at the University gave victims of sexual assault someone to turn to. The help line at Safety 
and Security and Violence Intervention Services offered assistance to victims and answered students' 
questions about sexual assault.

When students called the help line, an officer put them in touch with one of ten sexual assault officers 
or the police department. The sexual assault officers included six volunteer graduate counseling 
students and four paid officers.

"If they want us there, we'll be there," Officer Von Abbott said. "If they want the police there, we'll get 
that done too."

Kim LeBaron, director of shelter services at VIS, said 75 percent of the hotline volunteers were students.

Junior Diane Drake volunteered to answer the VIS hotline.

"I thought it might be something I would be interested in as a career," Drake said. "I wanted to get some 
hands-on experience before I made up my mind."

Junior Karen Ernst said she answered the hotline for one year because she thought it was a good cause.

"Today, I might be able to use some of the training I learned to really help somebody," Ernst said.

Lisa Sprague, director of Safety and Security, said the help line had not received any emergency calls as 
of fall midterm. They had answered four calls for information.

Sprague said a caller could obtain information on pertinent laws, available resources in the community, 
names of established counseling services and the disciplinary processes of both the University and the 
Kirksville Police Department.

Both Safety and Security and Violence Intervention Services provided students with sexual assault 
programs and informational sessions on campus.

Senior Kellie Fletcher said she would call the VIS hotline for information, but not for counseling or in an 
emergency situation.

"I'm not sure of the credentials of the people who answer the phone," Fletcher said. "I've never seen 
them posted anywhere. I'd rather go to a counseling service where I could look up the credentials of the 
people helping me."

Sprague said the Sexual Assault Task Committee devised the ideas for the help line and the sexual 
assault officers.

LeBaron said VIS mainly served people in the community. She said 90 percent of the clients resided in 
the area.

Ernst said she thought VIS served the community more than the students.

"I think people in [Kirksville's] type of economic situation would have more of these abuse type 
problems than college students," Ernst said.

Drake said she thought there would still be a need for the services of VIS in the community if the 
University did not exist, but a lot of volunteer help would be gone.

Hotline workers for both Safety and Security and VIS used only their first names to remain anonymous.

The Safety and Security help line could be reached at 627-HELP. The VIS hotline can be reached at 665-
1617.

the hotline at 665-1617. Although the safe house program claimed to provide confidentiality to those 
using it, a prominent sign in front of the house advertised its presence to passersby. This led many 
students to question the level of security offered to persons staying there, (photo by Shima Hayase)

(Page 27)

Legends live on
Zany campus myths endure time

A doorknob turned, footsteps echoed down the hallway, the elevator door opened and no one was 
inside.

Chalk it up to a visit by Joan, Centennial Hall's resident ghost.

The Centennial Hall ghost story was one of many legends which buzzed around campus and became part 
of the University's history. The ghost of Joan survived more than a decade of tale telling on campus.

"I lived in Centennial Hall for two years and never heard or saw anything resembling a ghost, but some 
of the residents said they did," senior Hilary Donaldson said.

Terry Smith, dean of the colleges, said he remembered the story of Joan's ghost.

"In the summer of 1976, a woman named Joan Escobar, she was from New York City, was a summer RA 
for us in Centennial and she was hit by a car," Smith said. "According to the story, she was sitting on a 
curb and a car ran up over the curb and killed her. There are some interesting sidelights to the story. 
There was a kind of love triangle involved and there was some question as to whether or not it was 
intentional or accidental, but nothing ever happened with it. Anyway, her ghost supposedly roams 
Centennial."

Senior Brian Bird said he was familiar with the ghost of Centennial Hall and had also heard ghost stories 
about Missouri Hall.

"Over Christmas Break a couple of years ago, the peer advisers had to stay in the hall and on several 
occasions had to chase the elevators that were going up and down and no one was in them," Bird said.

Smith said there was nothing to the stories about ghosts roaming Missouri or Ryle hall. But he said 
another popular ghost story on campus which involved Laughlin Hall, on the site of the library addition.

According to Smith, the ghost of Harry Laughlin supposedly wandered Laughlin Hall before it was tom 
down. Since the building was tom down, neither the ghost nor the story appeared to have resurfaced.

Ghost stories weren't the only legends to make the rounds on campus. Smith said the men of Missouri 
Hall made up their own theory about the bells in front of the hall. They named them the "Virgin Bells."

"It's hilarious," Smith said. "The fun the guys have with it is if a freshman woman virgin walks by the 
bells, one of them will start to ring. Of course, the odd part about it is that if you look at the bells, 
not one of them has a clapper."

Even the statue of Joseph Baldwin was the target of a campus legend. According to Smith, the statue fell 
victim to a prank during graduation one year.

"The story goes that during the graduation procession, of course, they stop and put a wreath by the 
statue of Joseph Baldwin," Smith said. "They always carefully check the statue and the area around 
Joseph Baldwin. Apparently years ago, some enterprising, prank-minded undergraduates the night 
before the graduation procession, got out on the Quad and somehow took a foot and a half iron rod and 
did a welding job. How should I say this, that Joe Baldwin was anatomically correct."

In addition to stories, campus sites were also famous. The gum tree and the sacred potato were two of 
these sites.

The gum tree got its start with a branch overhanging the Quad walkway. Someone put a piece of 
chewed gum on the branch, and someone else followed suit. Soon, the whole tree was covered.

Smith said the physical plant tried to clean the gum off.

"They cleaned the tree off and it wasn't two hours before the tree had more on it than it had before 
they took it all off," Smith said.

The sacred potato, a discolored, potatoshaped slab of sidewalk in front of Violette Hall, originated with a 
tree.

"I know in that oddly shaped space used to be a tree," Smith said. "Because people were always 
touching it or running into it, they could never get a tree to grow there, so they just covered that space," 
Smith said.

According to legend, walking on the sacred potato brings bad luck for your academic career. The only 
remedy is to walk across it backwards at midnight.

"I've always walked on it," senior Brian Roth said. "Of course, I got bad grades, so maybe there is 
something to it."

All kinds of stories have developed over the years and each added to the heritage of the University, 
leaving legends to echo down the halls of history.

Hit the Limit
Students charge on to pay costly consequences

For some students, it was an obsession: so tantalizing, so inviting, they just couldn't resist the charge. 
Literally.

Credit card mania swept college campuses each year as companies flooded students with offers. 
Students found credit card brochures stashed in newly boughten books from the Campus Bookstore, 
stuffed in their campus mailboxes and even stuck on their car windshields.

The endless sea of letters and pamphlets might look like typical junk mail, but credit card companies 
knew their strategies brought results. An informal survey of 100 students at the University showed an 
average of two credit cards per student.

Junior Tracy Knox said she has one credit card which she has used to buy everything from clothing to 
decorations for her parents' surprise 25th anniversary party. She said she attributed the prevalence of 
credit cards to the relative ease in applying for and receiving them.

"It's easier to obtain a credit card in school than when you're out of school," Knox said. "This is because 
of your credit history."

Other students said they used their credit cards for everything from beer to gasoline. Sophomore Connie 
Reinker had a credit card for a gas station which she used about once a week.

"I buy gasoline and anything to do with my car maintenance," Reinker said. "I only use it for that one 
thing."

The Roper College Track, Inc. said it was normal for college students to have a credit card. Their most 
recent survey, taken in 1990, found that two-thirds of the 7.4 million undergraduates in America used 
credit cards. This was an increase of 33 percent from the 1988 survey.

Many students said they used credit cards for emergency purposes such as taking a trip or making quick 
purchases.

Junior Andrea Beaty said she wished her Citicorp credit card could be used for more things.

"I buy stuff at Wal-Mart all the time," Beaty said. "But I can't use it for groceries because [grocery stores] 
don't take credit cards in Missouri. I wish they would because I would charge steaks."

The Roper survey showed students had approximately $60 billion in buying power and the buying trends 
of most college students were largely recreational.

Some students said they didn't like businesses which marketed credit cards on campus.

"I get really peeved at companies who send me credit card information," Beaty said. "I always get 
pamhlets in the bottom of the bookstore bag and letters sent to me at home. I already have one credit 
card and that is absolutely all I need. It really drives me crazy."

Other students said it was wisest to avoid the "hot deals" for credit cards altogether. Junior Pam 
Schroeder said the idea of having a credit card did not appeal to her.

"Basically I just don't have the money for them," Schroeder said. "My parents told me that if you can't 
pay for it on the spot, then you don't need one."

cash advances, but the high rates added up quickly, (photo by Dave Mullison)

Ghetto blasters

Booze, police and four foot chickens

What did The Koop, The Ghetto and The Hangar all have in common? Parties!

Information from fraternities, sororities, GDIs and the police indicated these were the best GDI party 
houses in Kirksville. The police could not suppply a list of the top five party houses, all they could say 
was they had broken up a couple of parties.

Although the police didn't usually have a problem with college parties, they would intervene if parties 
weren't kept under control, or more importantly, kept inside. One party the police mentioned was a 
little gathering of about 300 students at The Ghetto. The inhabitants boasted that in its first year as a 
party house, they had seen parties involving as many as 500 people.

Just what kind of wild and crazy animals live in The Ghetto? The answer might surprise you. Among the 
eleven students living in the house were two student senators, a cheerleader and the school mascot.

The Ghetto was on the corner of Jefferson and Fible. It was big enough to hold 150 of its closest 
friends...comfortably and the basement was great for dancing.

"We have a CD collection close to 300, guaranteed best music...and we recycle,"
sophomore Greg Cotton, Ghetto resident, said.

The residents of the house thought a party with about 50 to 100 people was optimal because it didn't 
attract the police and you could meet people.

"We're going for quality not quantity, to keep the cops away," Cotton said.

Senior Mike Hachmeister, one of the founders of The Ghetto, said it started in the 400 wing of Missouri 
Hall. The name came from the condition of their dorm rooms. Nothing worked, there were holes in the 
walls and everything was torn up.

Other popular party houses included The Hangar and The Koop.

The Hangar, at 515 E. Missouri, had close ties to The Ghetto.

"It's a cool place to hang out...lots of room, dancing and good music," senior Jim Eaton said.

The Koop was on the corner of Fible and Randolph and it got its name from a four and one-half foot 
chicken sitting in the middle of the living room.

"[The Koop] is nice and cozy," freshman Derek Phillips said.

Mainframes
Computers provide new medium for conversation

If you were tired of paying outrageous phone bills and you hated to write letters, computer services had 
just what you needed. It was called electronic mail and hundreds of students used it to keep in touch 
with friends and associates around the world.

Electronic mail, or e-mail, first appeared at the University a few years ago and every year it became 
more popular. During Freshman Week, for example, some professors instructed freshmen on the uses of 
the system.

Freshman Brian Wallace learned about e-mail during Freshman Week.

"My freshman seminar teacher told us to sign up on his e-mail address list so he could send us 
messages," Wallace said. "This way he could tell us if class was cancelled."

Paula Cochran, associate professor of communication disorders, avidly used the system for eight years. 
Cochran and her students had e-mail "pen pals" from the University of Virginia, with whom they shared 
findings about communication disorders and computers. Cochran also used the system to stay in touch 
with graduate students all over the United States.

"E-mail is a great resource for an institution that is geographically isolated," Cochrane said. "With e-mail, 
people express things they wouldn't normally say."

Matt Blotevogel, campus computer lab coordinator, said there were three ways to access electronic 
mail. First, students could use any mainframe terminal for e-mail. Second, students could access 
electronic mail through a personal computer connected through a PC network to the mainframe. Third, 
students could use microcomputers that were connected with a modem and telephone lines to send it.

Blotevogel said students could look up e-mail addresses on a directory at any given moment. Another 
utility, e-mail conferencing, allowed exchange of ideas about current events.

Besides using e-mail to communicate with other Northeast students, many students used it to keep in 
touch with friends at other universities. A letter to Ireland, which would take two weeks through postal 
service, took six hours with e-mail.

Junior Todd Sprehe preferred typing e-mail letters to writing letters and sending them through the mail.

"I have friends that go to school in Minnesota and Indiana who I like to write to," Sprehe said. "Using the 
e-mail system is quicker and easier than writing letters, and it's a lot more fun."

Some students used e-mail as a way to meet people. Freshman Bruce Malicoat and freshman Jenni Reed 
turned e-mail into an electronic dating service.

"During the first week of school, Bruce and I talked back and forth with e-mail for four hours straight," 
Reed said. "The next day we decided to meet each other face-to-face and we've been dating ever since."

E-mail might not have been a matchmaker for everyone, but it certainly could be a valuable academic 
and social tool. For students and faculty, e-mail could be a link to the outside world.

(Page 35)

Diversity of creed
Different religions abound on campus

If, as Karl Marx said, "Religion is the opiate of the people," there were many opportunities for students 
to get stoned. Religious experiences and dogmas abounded on campus.

While Christianity in its diffferent denominations was practiced most widely and with more structure 
than other religions, many students followed other belief systems and practices, often developing a 
personalized set of beliefs.

Organizations like the Newman Center, Campus Christian Fellowship, the Wesley House and the Baptist 
Student Union brought students of like denominations together for meetings, worship and just hanging 
out. Activities included Bible study, student visitation and social and sports events.

Graduate student Lisa Condra said she benefited from Campus Christian Fellowship.

"I'm glad I've had the opportunity to be a part of the Campus Christian Fellowship," Condra said. "It 
plays a large role in my life, and it's really helped me. I feel that since I've been in college, I've gotten to 
better define my religious ideas and beliefs."

While Christian students worshipped together in their student organizations, other students practiced 
less prominent religions.

Muslim students and faculty from both Northeast and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine met 
informally each Friday and every day during Ramadan, a period of fasting. Approximately 10 to 15 
students and six faculty members attended these informal meetings.

Many people associate religions and philosophies such as Taoism and Buddhism only with Eastern 
culture. However, these religions play an important role in the lives of many American students. Senior 
Michael Terry found Taoism to be most similar to his beliefs.

"I call myself a Taoist because when I read the Tao Te Ching, I found that someone who lived thousands 
of years ago thought similarly to me about life," Terry said. "I've always had a very mystical way of 
looking at the world and modern Christianity doesn't suit that very well. Taoism does."

Buddhism attracted senior Leif Hauser.

"I was raised Catholic, but I'm in pursuit of something more fulfilling," Hauser said. "There seems to be 
an attempt to reach a deeper spiritual level in Eastern religion, a recognition of the eternal nature of the 
spirit, as opposed to an external, transcendent being."

There are always some "opiates" that few dare to try. Discordianism is a pseudo-religion. They believe 
God exists and is a woman. This Woman is in charge of chaos, (which is a good thing) and bureaucracy. 
Junior Jack Holcomb has been an "experimenter" with Discordianism for two and a half years.

"In Discordianism, chaos and discord are signs that all is well. I like that," Holcomb said.

Other students chose not to use the word "religion" when describing their beliefs. A spiritual experience 
is often a better term. Junior Susannah Rieder considered her beliefs more spiritual than religious.

"I believe there's a higher power, not necessarily a person, or even a man person." Rieder said.

Rieder believes in the occult. She uses the Ouija Board, Tarot Cards and crystals. However, the occult in 
her life is not a strong role.

"I'll defend it. I don't take it lightly. I'm curious about it, but it doesn't rule my life," Reider said.

In spite of this mixed bag of beliefs, one must never forget that some people just said no to religion. 
People refused religion for a variety of reasons.

Sophomore Shayn Lowry was raised to be an atheist by her parents, who had both studied religion in 
college.

"I love to find out about religion, but I can't accept it," Lowry said. "I think this is it. We're born, we live 
this life and then we're six feet under. I control my own destiny, not anything else."

Junior Melissa Blagg said she was raised Baptist, but she classified her beliefs as agnostic.

"My father is a Baptist minister, so I was raised Baptist. I only bought it until I was a teenager. Then I 
realized what a crock it is."

There are probably more views of religion on campus than there are opiates. Concerning religious 
beliefs, one could say there's one for everyone.

Construction
Cumbersome renovations hamper anxious students

Hammers pounded, saws buzzed and drills whined throughout the campus as widespread renovations 
transformed the scenery. The Student Union Snack Bar became the most popular project with students.

A new look and name greeted customers at the snack bar in November. Mainstreet Market gave 
students a place to eat or just to hang out.

Students were impressed with the new atmosphere in the snack bar.

"What they've done with the snack bar is incredible," senior Greg Suckow said. "I remember when I was 
a freshman, the place was a dump, but now we can join the ranks of other colleges that have 'real' snack 
bars in their student union buildings."

Renovating the snack bar required a lot of work. The renovations were intended to brighten the 
atmosphere.

"The biggest problem with the old snack bar was getting the people in there, because it was very dark 
and dingy," Dennis Markeson, Director of Food Services, said.

Finally, the committee in charge of renovations decided to knock out the front wall of the snack bar.

"The decision to knock out the wall that stood between the snack bar and the outside world was a great 
idea," Terry Smith, dean of residential colleges, said. "It really lightens up the place."

Sidewalk construction around Ophelia Parrish also attracted attention. The work often closed sections of 
the sidewalks, creating an inconvenience for students with classes there.

"You have to stand there and figure out the best way to get to your classes," senior Leah Riesenhoover 
said. "It seems like they have a different part of the sidewalk closed every day."

"It's especially bad on rainy days and when I'm going from Ophelia Parrish to Baldwin Hall or the library," 
freshman Martha Wildberger said.

Construction work on the parking lot in front of Violette Hall also caused problems for students.

"I'm glad to see work getting done on campus, but we already have a parking problem," junior Jennifer 
Johnson said. "For the time being, this just makes things worse."

Library construction continued, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony tentatively scheduled for the fall.

"They've been doing work on it ever since I can remember," Johnson said. "I can't imagine what it's 
going to be like when it's done."

Just south of the library, workers began construction on the new clocktower. Some students enjoyed 
watching the work.

"I heard about the clocktower when they had just started digging the basement," freshman Jerry Wells 
said. "I'm going to watch the process until it's finished."

Renovation may have been a slow process, but some students were willing to withstand the 
inconvenience.

"Look at what happened with Mainstreet Market," Wells said. "All this construction is a pain right now, 
but it will improve the campus in the long run."

Book Buying Blues
Buying and selling creates hassles

Each semester students went from one hassle to another. As soon as they were finished with housing 
assignments and class schedules, they could worry about books.

The Campus Bookstore, operated under the franchise of Barnes and Noble Bookstores Inc. and Patty's 
University Bookstore, owned and operated by Patty and Brad Bolz, offered students two alternatives.

"Buying books is a pain," junior Quentin Miller said. "I really just want to get them, get out and not get 
taken to the cleaners."

Used books were the cheapest route for students. Students who shopped early were more likely to get 
the best deal.

"We're used books," Patty Bolz said. "I feel we have more used books and so we can give the students a 
better price."

The Campus Bookstore carried used books, but stocked more new books. Prices were concretely 
established by publishers.

"We can have better prices as a smaller, independent store because we have more suppliers and make 
price changes as we want," Patty Bolz said.

While Patty's concentrated on books, the Campus Bookstore carried everything from
school supplies to gift items.

"I can buy everything from a pen to a Christmas gift there," Miller said. "It makes me shop there often 
because it's so convenient."

The Campus Bookstore estimated students spend $150 to $200 on books each semester. At best, the 
books were worth 75 percent of their original value at the end of the semester.

"Selling your books is always a letdown because you pay all that money and you get like five dollars for a 
book," junior Malcom Ringo said. "If I wasn't so broke at the end of the semester, I wouldn't bother."

Bolz said business majors spent the most. History and art classes also cost a lot.

"As a business major, I spend about $200 on books, which gets expensive twice a year, not to mention if 
you do it four or five years," sophomore Dave Hein said. "I get more satisfaction out of just burning 
them then realizing how much money I lost."

Burning books might be an extreme reaction, but all students could do was hope for the best deal.

Study Time
Burning the midnight oil, students crack the books

It was 11 p.m. Sophomore Dan Regan had been playing spades since dinner. He had played well, but in 
only eight and a half hours, he had a calculus test. It covered five chapters and he hadn't studied.

"You know, it's really no big deal," Regan said. "I usually don't start studying until midnight anyway."

Senior Jera Bruce usually found herself in the same situation.

"I normally wait to start studying until ten o'clock and by the time I finish, it is about two o'clock in the 
morning," Bruce said.

Why did students wait until late to begin their studying?

"It seems like I can get a lot more done late at night," Regan said. "Anyway, Hogan's Heroes doesn't 
come on until four, so I need something to do."

Junior Scott Garner said he often had no choice.

"It isn't that I prefer to study late at night," Garner said. "It is just usually a consequence of my own 
procrastination."

Bruce said there are fewer distractions late at night.

"People usually quit calling me at around ten-thirty or eleven," Bruce said. "Most of the good television 
shows are off as well."

Late night studiers frequented Missouri Hall cafeteria. It was open to all students from 10 p.m. until 2 
a.m. However, if there was a demand, the night supervisor kept it open as late as 5 a.m.

According to Missouri Hall Manager Julian Caldwell, students often used the cafeteria to study.

"There's always more than thirty students a night who use it, and towards midterms and finals, there's 
upwards of a hundred people," Caldwell said.

Although Regan lived in Missouri Hall last year, he never used the cafeteria as a place to study because it 
was too quiet.

"I grew up with four brothers and sisters," Regan said. "There was always background noise. I have to 
have something like the radio or television on in order to study or I go insane."

Even though he habitually studied late at night, Garner said he tried to avoid the dreaded "all-nighter."

"Last semester I probably did about nine of them, one for every stats test I had and a few for finals, but 
all in all, I try to avoid them," Garner said.

Bruce also tended to pull all-nighters only on finals.

"I try to stay away from staying up all-night studying because it just makes me too tired," Bruce said.

Regan might be the exception to the rule.

"I have to do at least one all-nighter a week," Regan said. "I guess I just don't need as much sleep as 
other people."

But can students spend countless hours studying under the moonlight and still be successful?

"I actually do think that I do better work late at night," Regan said. "Last year, I didn't start any of my 
English papers before two o'clock in the morning and I got As on every one."

However, not all late-night studying ended happily.

"I stayed up all night playing Axis and Allies the day before a final," Garner said. "I ate breakfast and then 
studied for a few hours and then took the test. I didn't do too hot on that test."

Pancake City offers the only 24-hour alternative to late night studying for senior Scott Smith. Many 
students could be found at the local joint enjoying coffee and conversation while also doing homework.

waffles to steak, (photo by Thom Kennedy)

42 ~ Exercise
 
(Page 43)

Jumpin' around
Exercise great for health, relaxation

"Five, six, seven, eight. Come on, hang in there. Just a few more."

Students heard those words while they participated in various exercise programs, everything from lifting 
weights to aerobics. Yet their reasons for exercising varied.

Some students tried to make time in their busy schedules for exercise because it helped to enhance 
their natural skills.

"I have been dancing for 16 years and I did aerobics this year at the Thompson Center," freshman Holly 
Harris said. "I dance because I know I'm good at it and when I'm doing a good job it makes me feel 
good."

Junior Jeff Bragg said exercise helps him forget about things for a while and get relief from his problems.

"I lift weights about three times a week," Bragg said. "I would like to do it more, but my schedule won't 
allow it. Exercising clears my mind and sometimes I just work out to get relief from a problem."

Other students exercised for their health and because it helped them focus more on their classes.

"I work out with weights six days a week," senior Phil Cozzoni said. "I know if I exercise now I will be able 
to keep exercising well into my older years. It helps reduce stress and that makes it easier to 
concentrate in my classes."

Junior Michelle Prosperini said she lifts weights, runs and plays basketball when time permits.

"Sometimes I lift weights in Pershing," Prosperini said. "Exercising makes everything else better for me, 
including school. It's like a natural high. If I don't exercise, I feel like I'm missing something."

Some of the residence halls on campus provided exercise programs for their residents. The programs 
offered activities like aerobics and running.

Centennial Hall, Ryle Hall, Brewer Hall and Blanton-Nason Hall held aerobics classes three nights a week 
with five to 50 students attending.

Regina Maly, resident adviser for Towne House in Centennial Hall, said she started the program because 
she felt it was needed.

"I wanted to start the program because exercise is something that is needed," Maly said. "Everyone 
worked together, so we served as a support group to keep people going."

Freshman Jamie Schmidt taught aerobics in Centennial Hall during the fall. She said the program's 
popularity surprised her.

"When I started teaching, I expected maybe 10 or 12 people," Schmidt said. "Every week, the whole 
middle section of PFM was full."

Debbie Martin, hall director for Blanton-Nason, said they went one step further to encourage exercise.

"In addition to aerobics classes, we held body image programs to show students exercise is important 
and that they need to do it for the right reasons," Martin said.

Missouri Hall offered its residents a different type of program. The Missouri North Running Club 
continued for its second year.

"Students feel exercise is pretty important, so I wanted to get some of them together to run," Doug 
Eichholz, peer adviser in Missouri North Residential College, said. "That way they could meet other 
students who enjoyed running and do it on their own time if they had scheduling conflicts with other 
exercise programs."

William Richerson, division head of health and exercise science, said the division offered elective courses 
to students, including aerobics, swimming, weight training, tennis and racquetball.

"Our classes were normally always full, and if a student couldn't get in, I would see them come to 
Pershing to exercise on their own," Richerson said. "I believe students exercise because it relieves stress 
and it gives them a break from their classes and studying."

Debra Bemben, assistant professor of exercise science, said more students are using exercise facilities in 
Pershing.

"I saw walking becoming more popular with students, but racquetball might be a close second," Bemben 
said. "The racquetball courts always seemed to be full."

Bemben said she thought the increase in exercise among students was good.

"These are good signs that students are viewing exercise as an important part of life," Bemben said. 
"They would feel better now and later in life if they would start exercising."

Food Service
Unusual names for entrees and exotic tastes abound

To some, they were Professional Food Management. To others, they were Publicly Funded Masochism. 
Whatever students thought, one thing could be said: PFM was probably the most maligned organization 
on campus.

The PFM operation at Northeast was a major economic force at the University and in the Kirksville 
community. PFM employed 225 people to prepare meals for 2,583 diners per sitting.

"It's quite a few more than people think," Dennis Markeson, Director of Dining Services, said.

But if you walked into any of the three PFM cafeterias on campus, you could hear the complaints: the 
selection was poor, the food was greasy, the tomatoes were green, the noodles were overcooked, etc. 
On the other hand, where else could you sit down with a free copy of USA Today?

PFM dishes with unusual names and tastes abounded. Almost everyone had their favorite.

Sophomore Casey Kelch said she was mystified about the name of the ham and cheese sandwich served 
by PFM, the Northeast Sandwich.

"What do ham and cheddar cheese have to do with our school?" Kelch said.

Items like the Cadillac Burger seemed aptly named. Shouldn't something which contained that much 
beef and packed more calories than most of the world's citizens eat in a day be named after the car 
which represented American indulgence?

Junior Amy Massey said she was troubled by the Chuckwagon Burger.

"Just what's in those things anyway?" Massey said.

According to John Dahlman, Building Director for PFM's Missouri Hall cafeteria, the Chuckwagon Burger 
was simply "a breaded beef hamburger patty."

When asked about PFM's ingredients, both Dahlman and Markeson were open.

"I think students get a fair shake and we try to give them what they want," Markeson said. "If a student 
has a problem with something, come talk to us. If it doesn't get to us, how can we change it?"

Some students smirked at the names of items on the PFM menu, for instance, the Alpine Shepherd's Pie. 
Just what was in this exotically named dish?

"It's meatloaf, covered with mashed potatoes and baked with gravy over the top," Dahlman said.

According to Dahlman, the same recipe could be found in old English cookbooks.

"We had a guy here a few years ago who had been in the Air Force and he says he ate it in Europe all the 
time," Dahlman said.

And how about Quaker Spaghetti? Well, it didn't contain oatmeal. It was actually a spaghetti casserole 
with the noodles and sauce mixed together.

Despite the moaning of thousands of students, it was unlikely Julia Child would come to Kirksville any 
time soon to whip up culinary delights. For better or for worse, PFM was here to stay.

Verdict sparks riot
Student protest remains peaceful

The verdict was in -- the cops were not guilty. The men and women of the jury in Simi Valley, Cal. agreed 
that four white Los Angeles police officers did not use excessive force when they beat black motorist 
Rodney King. The people of Los Angeles did not agree and many of them were angry.

On the night of April 30, Los Angeles exploded into violence. Rioters swarmed the streets in South 
Central L.A. Over the next week, the violence spread into suburban areas as looters stole property and 
set fire to stores and cars. Rioters pulled white motorists from their cars and beat them.

When it was all over, more than 50 people lay dead. Damage to more than 1,300 burned-out buildings 
approached $1 billion. The numbers were staggering, but they could not accurately describe the human 
suffering played out on television screens across the nation.

In Kirksville, there was no violence, but there was anger.

"I am from Los Angeles and when I found out about this mockery of justice, I thought it was pitiful," 
freshman Joshua Aldrich said.

Aldrich was not alone. May 1 turned into a night of demonstrations at the University. As Los Angeles 
continued to burn at the hands of rioters, candles burned in the hands of students around the SUB 
fountain. About 200 students gathered at the fountain to express outrage at the Rodney King verdict 
and to express frustration with the state of racial relations across the country.

Freshman Karen Wells helped to organize the demonstration. Wells said the idea for the demonstration 
came from a small group of students who saw the reports of violence in Los Angeles.

"We live in Centennial Hall and watching the Rodney King newscast, we saw a lot of people get mad 
really fast," Wells said. "We decided something should be done and it should be peaceful."

Sophomore Sean Stalling said he thought the demonstration was a good start, but that it wasn't enough.

"I see you getting angry about this, but this [racism] has happened every day for 400 years," Stalling 
said. "This is real life. This is a black man beaten by white cops. I say do something."

Many students took part in the demonstration to protest the subtle racism which they said existed on 
campus.

"What would give me hope is if when I walk past someone on this campus and I raise my eyes and I 
move my mouth to say hello, I get a hello back," freshman Nancy Johnson said.

A group of about 90 students marched from the fountain to University President Russell Warren's 
residence to demand greater racial diversity in the student body, faculty and administration. Warren 
was attending a meeting in Kansas City at the time and learned of the demonstration the following 
morning. Instead of Warren, the demonstrators met with Dale Schenewerk, executive assistant to the 
president.

Schenewerk said Safety and Security called him when the students began marching toward the 
president's house.

"They were a group of students who wanted to talk to somebody and wanted somebody to listen," 
Schenewerk said. "I was willing to be that person if they were willing to talk to me."

Schenewerk listened to student concerns for about 45 minutes before the students left the premises.

"There was not a clear, singly-focused concern or issue," Schenewerk said. "There were a number of 
concerns that were intertwined in that they dealt with diversity."

Some demonstrators were also confused as to the point of the demonstration.

"I don't understand what the central point is," freshman Jason Berry said. "Are we arguing judicial 
injustice or racial injustice?"

Though the rhetoric became volatile at times, the demonstration remained peaceful.

"The people who say a peaceful demonstration can't get anything done are as bad as the police," 
sophomore Chris Porter said. "What about Gandhi? He moved a nation."

After the demonstrators left Warren's residence, they marched to the police station. Kirksville Police 
Chief Dave Pingel met the demonstrators at the door of the station. Pingel invited the students in for a 
discussion about police brutality.

"As far as the police in the city of Kirksville,

~continued from page 47

I do not condone any brutality or any excessive use of force," Pingel said. "I do not tolerate any 
excessive use of force."

Pingel said he was concerned that the Rodney King incident had tarnished the reputation of law 
enforcement in general.

"I'm interested in the image this has cast on law enforcement," Pingel said. "I'd be crazy -- I'd be jobless 
if I wasn't."

Freshman Adam Marchand said he thought it was important for Pingel to address police brutality.

"I think we see police brutality as an institutionalized form of national malaise," Marchand said.

Pingel said he required his officers to adhere to strict procedures when using force.

"If you stick by sound, proven police practices and you review your force and your practices, then things 
are going to turn out all right," Pingel said.

After half an hour, the students left the police station. About thirty students showed up the next 
morning to stage a sit-in in McClain Hall. Warren had returned early from his meeting to address the 
students.

Schenewerk said he called Warren to inform him of the situation the morning after the initial 
demonstration.

"I called him Friday morning," Schenewerk said. "He expressed concern, but was relieved that the 
situation here was not like that in Warrensburg." (Similar demonstrations at Central Missouri State 
University had become violent.)

Warren said the University would try to address racial issues through a Commission on Community, 
which would include students, faculty and administrators.

"I cannot imagine it not addressing why there are not more African-American students here -- more 
minority faculty or administrators," Warren said.

Warren's comments drew sharp rebukes from students who said they did not think the commission 
would do enough.

"Don't attack me for trying to solve this," Warren said.

Sophomore Renee Devereux said she thought the students were just making Warren aware of their 
concerns.

"I don't think we came here to attack you, but to make sure this is addressed," Devereux said.

Warren discussed issues of racism and diversity with students for about an hour. Although students and 
administrators agreed that nothing was resolved, Warren made a commitment to keep open channels 
for dialogue and to investigate opportunities for addressing racial diversity on campus.

"We're not going to solve this today," Warren said. "But I hear you."

Students expressed hope that the demonstrations and the response of the University administration 
marked an opportunity for change.

"I don't think anyone's to blame, because this is a start," freshman Keisha Farmer said. "This is a 
wonderful spark, but it needs momentum. I think we're here to give this momentum."

Food, fish and fun
Students discover Kirksville stores

What do you do when everyone you know goes out of town for the weekend and you are stuck in 
Kirksville?

At night, you can go out partying, but what about those hours between dragging out of bed and dinner 
time? You could play a few hundred hands of spades, you could do your homework or you could spend 
an afternoon shopping in downtown Kirksville.

If you're new on campus or if you just don't get out much, you may not have realized Kirksville actually 
does have a downtown. In fact, downtown Kirksville has some unique places, like Gatsby's.

Gatsby's, a small shop which imports treats from around the world, is located at 117 W. Washington St. 
The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is the aroma of rich coffee beans, spiced tea and 
Swiss chocolate.

Proprietor Pam Hayes named her shop after the Great Gatsby, a romantic character created by F. Scott 
Fitzgerald.

"She likes the whole art-deco kind of elegance," manager Anne Basinski said.

Gatsby's started when Hayes began preparing gifts of unusual and hard-to-find treats. People began 
asking for her services, so in 1989 she opened a shop above Books-n-Things. In 1990, Gatsby's moved to 
its present location.

Basinski said students frequent Gatsby's, and their favorite items are the various coffees, which most 
other customers seem to prefer.

"I really liked the varieties of stuff and I didn't expect to find something like that on the Square," 
sophomore Lori Quigley said. "I was really surprised when I went in."

Freshman Tony Torres said he and his friends bought Gatsby's Christmas gift baskets for their parents.

"It's a really nice store," Torres said. "One of the things I found were some little cookies like my grandma 
makes which I'd never found anywhere else."

Just two doors down from Gatsby's is a pet store called Blue Water Paradise. The owner, Keith Wilson, 
said the store is a "hobby gone crazy." He said the animals are his pets until somebody buys them.

Wilson's pets include an African leopard tortoise with a shell about two feet in diameter, guinea pigs, 
mice, rabbits, ferrets, tarantulas, snakes and fish. The saltwater fish stand out as the most interesting. 
They range from a four-foot neon-green eel to lionfish with protruding, poison-filled arms.

"They have things that most people don't even carry," freshman Kari Morris said.

If tarantulas and snakes aren't for you, maybe Beard's Gallery is. Beard's Gallery, at 114 E. Washington 
St., occupies a building along with Beard's Decorating and Beard's Glass and Metal.

The gallery contains mostly contemporary prints and paintings, along with figurines and lamps.

"It gave me a sense of the Midwest," junior Dan Jordan said. "Through the regional artists displayed, I 
got a real sense of the Midwestern culture."

Burt Beard, a vice-president in the family-owned business, said Beard's focuses on quality.

"I've always heard that if you make one person happy, they will tell three or four people. If you make 
one person mad, they will tell everybody," Beard said.

If you like to just sit back and relax, the Selby House Tea Room might be for you. The tea room, a three-
story house next to Ron Pruitt's car lot, is open Tuesday through Saturday.

As the name suggests, the Selby House Tea Room serves tea and luncheon from 11 a.m. to noon. The 
glass-topped tables and elegant curtains contribute to the refined atmosphere of the establishment. A 
gift shop occupies another room of the house.

"Selby's offers a cozy atmosphere and excellent food," senior KrisAnn Pursley said. "It's a great place to 
go and relax with friends or family."

Mary White, who operates the tea room, hosts formal dinners and desserts as well.

About every six weeks, White hosts "Murder at Selby House," a series of whodunits cooked up by the 
Detective Club. Diners pay $20 each to be cast in roles of the mystery.

So if you're looking for a way to enjoy a weekend in Kirksville, look no further than downtown. If you can 
get past the boarded up buildings and unemployed farmers, a good time awaits you.

Wild Wheels
Cars reflect individual styles and personalities

From Alfa Romeos to Volkswagen vans, the variety of vehicles seen around campus seemed unlimited. 
Most students' cars fit into a fairly narrow range of makes, models and colors, but a few stood out as 
truly unique.

Junior Mike Esson, who drove a white 1969 Volkswagen van, said people kidded him about the 
stereotype of Volkswagen van owners.

"People think you have to be Mr. Partier because you own one," Esson said. "I'm not saying I don't like 
to party, but you're also not going to see six guys rolling out of it in a cloud of smoke."

"Vroom-vroom!" That was the sound freshman Jason Pinnell said his brown 1979 Fiat X1 /9 convertible 
made as it raced from one street to the next.

Pinnell said as much as he loved his car, it was not always as fun as it sounded.

"Sometimes it will be a nice day and I'll forget to put the hood back on at night," Pinnell said. "Then in 
the morning I'll go out to my car and everything will be wet. That's always pretty cool."

Freshman Eric Cargill, drove a red 1986 Yugo. Cargill said his car was unique because it still ran.

"My car's so weak," Cargill said. "My reverse doesn't work, my tires leak and when I drive over 55 miles 
an hour it starts to shake."

Freshman Becky Fehlig said her black, soft-top 1990 Jeep Wrangler may not be unusual, but what she 
did with it made it unique.

"Once a bunch of friends and I tried to break the world record for piling people in a jeep," Fehlig said. 
"We didn't actually know what the record was, but it was fun driving around saying we just broke it."

Fehlig said 11 people fit in the jeep in that adventure.

Senior Darren Millam drove a dark green 1972 Chevy Impala he called "Leviathan."

"Leviathan is the Hebrew word for whale," Millam said. "I named my car after a whale because it's 
huge."

Millam said his car was unusual because it contained more steel and less plastic than cars manufactured 
today. It also ran best on regular gas.

Senior Rob Jensen, who drove a black 1986 Honda CRX with tinted windows, said although he had seen 
some sharp classic Mustangs, an old Chevy Impala with polka-dots took the prize for most unusual car 
on campus.

"That's definitely the most outgoing car I've seen," Jensen said. "I don't know who owns it, but I can 
guarantee that person isn't shy about attention."

Senior Dave Quentin owned the polka-dot car, a 1972 Impala.

"My dad and I repaint the car every now and then," Quentin said. "This last time we decided to try 
something a little different, so we put on the polka-dots with big cardboard stencils."

Quentin said the polka-dots gave his car character.

"After all, it's one thing to drive an old beat-up car. It's another thing entirely to drive an old car with 
style," Quentin said.

United they stand
Greek traditions and parties abound

From the traditional to the bizarre, Greek Week presented a wide range of activities. Greek Week was 
April 6-12 with the theme "United We Stand."

The week began with a torch walk. To demonstrate their spirit during the walk, participants chanted 
support for their fraternities and sororities.

Greeks continued to show their enthusiasm during the opening ceremony in Kirk Gym. The ceremony 
featured a Hercules and Aphrodite contest, in which fraternity and sorority members crossed the stage 
in togas, attempting to gain applause. Phi Kappa Theta sophomore Mark Saxon won the Hercules 
contest and Alpha Sigma Alpha junior Angie Raimondo won the Aphrodite contest.

Senior Michelle Gruener, a Sigma Sigma Sigma member, said Monday's events were among the week's 
most popular.

"Coronation is always the biggest event," Gruener said. "The torchwalk and opening ceremony run a 
close second."

Other events included a comedy airband night, which took place Thursday at the Golden Spike and 
Wednesday's Greek Olympics. Greek Olympic events included an egg toss, a human sundae contest and 
a greased pig catching contest.

Senior Doug Mittelberg, a Pi Kappa Phi member, said the human ice cream sundae contest was his 
favorite event. Mittelberg said the event involved making a human pyramid and eating a half gallon of 
ice cream.

"The group that eats the ice cream the fastest wins," Mittelberg said. "It's a lot of fun and the guy on the 
top gets to eat the cherry."

Thursday's coronation was the best attended event of the week. Jim Wilcox, Alpha Kappa Lambda 
member, was named Greek Week king. Elaine Joggerst, a Delta Zeta member, was named queen.

In addition to officially scheduled activities, the week brought a variety of parties.

"We hosted an all-Greek party Monday night," Mittelberg said. "We all got hammered and we had a 
good time."

Although late semester stress caused low attendance at some events, Mittelberg said he thought the 
week was successful overall.

"What we try to do for Greek Week is forget it all and just be wild and crazy," Mittelberg. "If you judge 
the week by that standard, I'd say we were successful."

Lyceum Series
Admit One

From the Dixieland sounds of The River City Ramblers to the spiritual expression of the Dallas Black 
Dance Theatre group, students were admitted by the hundreds to Lyceum '92 as it served up its 
legendary mix of cultural events to the University and community. The legendary St. Louis Symphony 
Orchestra's performace was jeopardized when funding problems arose, but the show went on due to 
the dedication of the Lyceum Committee and some local donations. Despite small obstacles, the Lyceum 
Committee made some positive changes in their programming. A second performance of "A Christmas 
Carol" was added so more people could enjoy this Northeast tradition. This year's events entertained 
the audience in true Lyceum tradition by making them laugh, cry and enjoy themselves. Although a few 
changes will be made for next year's series, this Northeast legend will continue to live on.

Talented duo take same flight back to past

The Missouri Repertory Theatre performed Billy Bishop Goes to War Sept. 19 in Baldwin Hall 
Auditorium. Billy Bishop, the first of nine scheduled Lyceum Series events, was not exactly a typical play.

Michael Deep and Benjamin Evett, the only actors in the play, portrayed Bishop at different points in his 
life. Deep portrayed an older, more reflective Bishop, while Evett played a younger, more enthusiastic 
Bishop.

In addition to dramatizing Bishop's experiences as a young pilot in the British Royal Flying Corps during 
World War I, Evett portrayed all of the characters Bishop encountered during the war.

The versatility of the actors impressed the audience.

"The versatility shown by these two actors was incredible," freshman Amy Willard said. "The production 
covered such large periods of time in Bishop's life, yet I was able to sense the emotion that the 
characters were trying to express in every scene. The production as a whole was very impressive."

"I was especially impressed by Evett's ability to change roles," sophomore Erich Dieterich said. "At first 
the idea of one man playing all those parts was hard to accept, but by the end of the play, it just seemed right."

Just as the production presented changeable roles, it also presented fluctuating opinions on the war. 
The young Bishop saw war as glorious and honorable, but he learned through his experiences that it was 
also frightening and destructive.

The use of shifting character roles to explore these themes intrigued Dietrich. Dietrich said he found the 
play entertaining and thought provoking.

"It was an enlightening experience," Dietrich said. "I enjoyed the interaction between the characters and 
also the interaction between the actors and the ideas that the play presented."

On the afternoon before the play, the cast and crew held a question and answer session for interested 
students and faculty. Evett also gave a talk entitled "An Actor Prepares."

"As a theater major, I really liked the question and answer session," Willard said. "I was impressed the 
cast took time to talk to the public and it helped me appreciate the performance even more. A lot of 
people don't realize how much work goes into a production, especially one as complex and unique as 
this one."

Bugs Bunny
Opera stirs students without Elmer Fudd

The effect of pop culture reared its ugly head at the Kansas City Lyric Opera's performance of The Barber 
of Seville Oct. 14 in Baldwin Hall Auditorium.

Gioachino Rossini, who wrote the music for The Barber of Seville over a hundred years ago, never 
suspected future generations would associate his music with the cartoon character Bugs Bunny. But 
when Figaro, the Barber of Seville, played by David Small, introduced himself in song, the audience 
began cackling.

The "Bugs Bunny music" affected students in different ways.

Senior Shannin Simmons said despite the unusual audience reaction, she enjoyed watching the opera.

"Although it is a comic opera, I'm sure the typical response to the Barber isn't hysterical laughter," 
Simmons said.

"I loved Figaro's introduction of himself, because I was familiar with it," senior John Moser said. "I liked 
hearing the real words behind the familiar tune."

Some students thought the Lyric Opera's version was better than Bugs Bunny's.

"I have to say the actual opera edged Bugs Bunny's version by a little bit--much less violent," junior 
Chuck Geary said.

Little violence actually occurred in this Italian opera sung in English. The conflict was not physical, rather, 
it was for Rosina's heart.

Any violence in this opera probably would have occurred before the show, in the quest for seats. The 
Lyric Opera drew such a crowd that the balconies were packed and some students watched from the 
aisles. A shortage of seats forced others to leave.

Senior Scott Smith was one of those forced to leave.

"I really wanted to see the opera, but we had to leave because it was so crowded," Smith said.

The seating situation didn't prevent junior Kevin Copley from appreciating the show.

"When we got there, the seating was really bad," Copley said. "We had to wait until the president's 
section was opened. The acting was great, but I was impressed with the interchangeable sets more than 
anything else."

Junior Reginald Guyse said he found his first opera interesting.

"This was my first opera, but luckily, I was with someone who knew a little bit about opera," Guyse said.

Junior Renee Archer had never seen an opera either.

"It was my first experience with the opera, but it was alright," Archer said. "It helped that the barber 
sang 'Figaro' in act one. It was a song that I knew, so I could get into it better."

Although most students left Baldwin Auditorium smiling, others weren't as pleased.
Graduate student Tom Canfield said he was disturbed by the accoustics.

"I was sitting a few rows behind the orchestra, so I couldn't hear the vocalists at all," Canfield said.

Another student did not care for the singing.

"I was critical of the opera," senior Dan Merkan said. "I didn't think the vocalists were the greatest, but 
maybe it was just Baldwin."

Overall, response to the sometimes called "greatest comic opera ever written" was good.

Singing to a full auditorium, Howard Wilkinson performs as Don Basilio in The Barber of Seville. The 
Kansas City Lyric Opera gave their performance on Oct. 14. Many students enjoyed the show, but could 
not help comparing the music with that of a Bugs Bunny cartoon when the Barber of Seville sang 
"Figaro." Since tickets were offered free of charge to students in the Student Activities Board office, 
Baldwin Hall Auditorium was filled to capacity for the performance, (photo submitted)

Ballet depicts 'rise and fall' epic

"A dancer should dance in a variety of roles, should have broad horizons. That's what makes a ballerina 
uninhibited."

That was Douglas Stewart's advice. Stewart danced with the Missouri State Ballet, which performed at 
the University Nov. 7.

The performance in Baldwin Hall Auditorium illustrated traditional acts and the modern dance Flowers, 
which tells the story of Janis Joplin's life, her rise to glory, her loneliness and escape to drugs, which led 
to her suicide in 1970.

The modernity of the act, more than the subject matter, required students to take an open-minded 
approach. This caused mixed reactions. To some students, Flowers made an emotional appeal; to 
others, it had no appeal at all.

"Flowers was brilliant," junior Laura Cruse said. "Usually high art appeals largely to the intellect and 
somewhat to the emotions. Flowers appealed strongly to both, but the emotional effect was 
overwhelming."

Jody Atkinson, who danced the part of Janis Joplin, said she wanted the audience to feel Joplin's 
emotions.

"The audience should be able to feel Janis's arrogance and vulnerability," Atkinson said. "When I'm in 
the role of Janis, I choose someone in the audience. If they're slouching in the beginning, I want them 
sitting up at the end."

Stewart portrayed a nameless character known to some as "death," and to others as "pusher" or "the 
man in black." Stewart said the audience should feel his character's hatred.

"My character is so full of hate that nothing matters," Stewart said. "The audience is supposed to feel 
that. They're supposed to be repulsed by him."

Stewart's role affected junior Kathy Steinbruegge.

"The gentleman in black was especially powerful," Steinbruegge said. "Although they didn't prepare the 
audience, I thought Flowers was great."

On the other hand, some students expressed dislike for Flowers.

"The ballet was just fine until Flowers," sophomore Julie Patterson said. "I wasn't prepared for it. I was 
thinking in classical terms, not modern artistic dance."

For audience members like Patterson who preferred classical dances, the repertoire contained 
traditional dances like "Donizetti Pas de Deux" from La Favorita, and "Grand Tarantella."

Reactions to the ballet covered both ends and the middle of the spectrum of diversity, as did the ballet 
itself.

Ramblin'
Show blends comedy, rhythm and blues

A taste of New Orleans came to Baldwin Hall Auditorium on Nov. 13. The River City Ramblers came to 
town, bringing with them a night of Dixieland, blues music and comedy.

The River City Ramblers are a group of six musicians with well-rounded musical backgrounds. They 
include Bob Ceccarini, trumpet player and group leader; "Red" Lehr, sousaphone; Pat Joyce, piano; John 
Becker, banjo; Scott Alberici, drums; and Joe Buerger, clarinet. Their act consisted of Dixieland and blues 
music combined with comedy that kept the audience entertained.

"I enjoyed the show," freshman Lynn Shaw said. "The whole thing was good. I'm a music major so I get 
credit for going, but I would have gone anyway because I heard they were worth it."

The River City Ramblers began their performance with Southern favorites "I've Been Working on the 
Railroad" and "The Wolverine Blues."

The mood dramatically changed with "The Tin Roof." Titled after the Tin Roof Saloon, the song creates 
the atmosphere of a bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The Ramblers kept the Louisiana spirit going 
with "The Bourbon Street Parade."

Alberici's clarinet solo of "It Had To Be You" from the movie "When Harry Met Sally" put the audience in 
a trance. Joyce's version of the Scott Joplin classic "Mapleleaf Rag" was a tremendous piano composition 
which blended with other piano pieces.

Roy Tanner, associate professor of music, was impressed by the River City Ramblers.

"These are some of the best musicians around," Tanner said.

"They are masters of their art and they blend together so well. The virtuosity of the sousaphone player 
and that of the piano player was tremendous."

The River City Ramblers rounded out their set with "St. Louis Blues," "Ain't Misbehavin'," and the classic 
"When the Saints Go Marching In."

The selection of songs and the talent of the musicians was enough reason for most people to go see this 
band, but some people had different reasons.

"I come to see events like these because I'm from a small town and I know I'll never get to see things like 
this again," junior Cindy Gunderson said.

Not all of the 900 people who attended the show were students and faculty.

"We try to get a variety for the Lyceum Series events, so we can attract a variety of people," Gilbert 
Kohlenberg, professor of history said. "We had a good turnout from the people of the town. We sold 
about eighty or ninety tickets to them. We were very pleased with the response from the audience. I 
think it went over very well."

Whatever the reason students came, it didn't take long for the River City Ramblers to gain their interest.

"I was supposed to go for a class, so I didn't really want to go at first," freshman Mike Brucher said. "I 
had originally planned on showing up to let my teacher know I was there and then sneaking out as soon 
as it started, but once they started playing I kind of got into it and the next thing I knew I was there for 
the whole time."

The River City Ramblers performed Nov. 13 to a large crowd in Baldwin Hall Auditorium. The group 
performed a unique combination of jazz, rhythm and blues. The band played such favorites as "It Had To 
Be You" from the movie "When Harry Met Sally" and Scott Joplin's classic "Mapleleaf Rag." The River 
City Ramblers' Dixieland style was a crowd pleaser with students, faculty and community members with 
over 900 people attending the show (photo submitted)

Holiday spirit and Tiny Tim, too

Although the Nebraska Caravan gave two performances of "A Christmas Carol" Nov. 23, students lined 
up outside Baldwin Hall Auditorium to snag the last 100 tickets.

Students began waiting in line at 1 p.m. for the 3 p.m. performance and at 6 p.m. for the 8 p.m. 
performance. Many students were turned away.

"I was disappointed that I didn't get to go, but they sold out Wednesday," junior Scott Ludtke said. "The 
early birds who camped out got the last tickets."

Every Christmas, people pack theaters and auditoriums across the United States hoping to catch the 
Christmas spirit.

"The ghosts were all scary, but Christmas future was the best," sophomore Mike Smith said. "I left in the 
Christmas spirit."

Other students enjoyed the realistic aspects of the play as well. Senior Jessica Bedard said she enjoyed 
the sets.

"The sets were the best," Bedard said. "They were very creative. The windows looked like real windows. 
You could see stuff coming through them. The fireplace looked like a real fireplace."

"I loved the special effects with the sets, like the way they changed the sets without you really knowing," 
junior Scott Tillman said. "It's hard to believe something that cool came to Kirksville."

Most students had seen "A Christmas Carol" before the performance at the University. Despite this, 
most students still enjoyed the performance and some preferred it to other performances they had 
seen.

"The moving bed, the snow falling from the ceiling, the sets in general made this a really good version of 
'A Christmas Carol'," freshman Steve Martin said.

"I liked this performance better than others I've seen because of the overall effect it left me with," junior 
Cathleen Edmiston said. "It was a holistically powerful performance. The sets, the acting ...everything 
was incredible!"

Not everyone was thrilled with the Nebraska Caravan performance, though.

"I didn't feel like seeing 'A Christmas Carol' again," senior Jeff Tapia said. "For one thing, I've seen it. For 
another thing, I can't stand the Christmas spirit, especially from people my own age."

For the most part, students seemed to think the performance was well worth the wait.

"It was wonderful," junior Jolene Thomas said. "I wish more people could have seen it...my parents and 
all my friends. I just loved it."

Uncertainty
Budget cut endangers symphony's show

The St. Louis Symphony played to a full house Jan. 15 in Baldwin Hall Auditorium. But what most people 
in the audience didn't know was the concert almost didn't happen. Financial problems for the concert's 
sponsor almost caused the concert to be cancelled.

Although the Missouri Arts Council received credit in the program notes for sponsoring the St. Louis 
Symphony's performance at the University, a cut in the council's touring budget forced them to scratch 
the concert. Consequently, the University had to come up with $18,780 from the Lyceum budget to fund 
the symphony's performance. This money, combined with grants from Union Electric, the Kirksville 
community and the symphony itself, enabled the St. Louis Symphony to come to Kirksville for the 27th 
consecutive year.

Although only a small orchestra rather than the entire symphony performed, most of the audience 
seemed to think the money was well spent. The symphony's repertoire included pieces by Ives, Mozart 
and Prokofiev. Overall, the audience reacted favorably to the concert. Mozart's Prague Symphony 
especially impressed the students.

"The symphony's interpretation of the Mozart was particularly compelling, although I tremendously 
enjoyed the performance as a whole," freshman Lori Brickey said.

Sophomore Kathryn Spomer said she also liked the Mozart piece the best.

"They did a great job, they always do, but the Mozart was my favorite," Spomer said.

Many of those who attended appreciated the Symphony's sensitivity to the audience and the music.

"The St. Louis Symphony had a smooth sound," sophomore Adam Marchand said. "They were 
contained, yet expressive."

Chett Breed, professor of English, was also affected by the orchestra's sensitivity.

"Hearing the small orchestra was very different from hearing the whole," Breed said. "They played with 
a different kind of responsiveness. The musicians reacted to the music and to each other, but it seemed 
appropriate -- live and beautiful."

Not all of the audience offered rave reviews, though. Accoustical problems detracted from the 
symphony's performance and some students found the musicians' style rather dull.

Senior Chris Bolen seemed disappointed with the symphony's performance.

"Maybe it was because I was sitting in the back, but I found the performance to be dry, dull and lifeless," 
Bolen said. "The conductor was the only one with any spontanaeity."

Some students were disappointed by the size of the orchestra.

"All I remember thinking was that it was smaller than I thought," junior Jenny Barnes said.

Despite these complaints, most students enjoyed the concert.

Junior Lindsey Smith's opinion suggests the overall audience reaction.

"It was a music for the masses sort of thing except the first piece, which had a dusty charm," Smith said. 
"Overall, they did a good job."

The Dallas Black Dance Theatre performed Jan. 28 in Baldwin Hall Auditorium. The company performed 
a mix of modern jazz, ethnic and spiritual works. The company performed four different segments of the 
program with each dealing with a unique aspect of African culture. This season marked the group's first 
visit to Northeast. (photo by Dave Mullison)

Dancers express black culture

The Dallas Black Dance Theatre put diversity on display Jan. 28 in Baldwin Hall Auditorium. Everything 
from gospel to modern rhythm and blues showed up on stage and the audience loved it.

"I thought it was more expressive than the usual programs," senior Julia Brinkley said. "I liked the blend 
between jazz and modern dance. It was fantastic."

Ann Williams, who founded the Dallas Black Dance Theatre in 1976, said its purpose was to "provide 
opportunities for minority students to learn how to dance."

"Dallas is the only major city in the United States where the primary professional dance services are 
provided by a predominantly black company," Williams said.

The performance in Baldwin included works by internationally known choreographers like Alvin Ailey 
and Milton Myers. The program consisted of four different parts, each representing a different aspect of 
the African-American culture.

The performance began with the pulsating sounds of "Obsession," a modern piece. The audience 
watched in eager anticipation as the dancers in flesh-colored costumes emerged under a field of blue 
lights. The vibrant, yet calm "Obsession" lasted for about fifteen minutes before the dancers moved into 
the very intense "Spiritual Suite."

"Spiritual Suite" was a moving tribute to the African-American heritage. The suite began with "Mary, 
Don't You Weep." Three dancers dressed in black performed the spiritual under a depiction of a stained 
glass window. The most captivating performance of the suite was Bridget Broxton's solo of "Nobody But 
Jesus." Broxton's solo conveyed a sense of isolation, while affirming the presence of the deity.

From "Spritual Suite," the dancers continued into "Deep Ellum Nites," a light-hearted and comical 
depiction of night life in the Dallas juke joints of the 1920s and 1930s. Jazz and blues songs like "Blind 
Man Blues," "I Got Your Man," and "I'm So Sad," contributed to the nightclub atmosphere.

The final performance of the evening was titled "Pacing." This ethnic piece used virtually the entire cast 
to create an African image. The program lasted for about an hour and the audience reacted well to it.

Dwyane Smith, of the admissions office, said the performance caught the essence of what black 
spirituality is all about.

"It was captivating...mesmerizing," Smith said. "I would enjoy it all over again."

Modern love
Rendition updates Shakesperian classic

Do you know what you get when you cross Al Pacino with Shakespeare?

Me neither. The Acting Company probably didn't either until they performed their rendition of 
Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Their version of the play erupted straight from the depths 
of post-modern culture, complete with a meta-play and impersonations of Marlon Brando and Al 
Pacino.

The Acting Company's twentieth national tour, directed by Zelda Fichandler and produced by Margot 
Harley, visited the University as part of the Lyceum Series on Feb. 26.

Many students enjoyed the performance.

"I thought it was great," freshman Kevin Mannion said. "I even laughed out loud and I didn't sleep at all."

Whether for good or ill, most students were struck by the modernity of the performance. Sophomore 
Chris Peters enjoyed the play primarily for its modern aspects.

"I liked the play although the acting wasn't that good," Peters said. "They did a good job modernizing it, 
which made it particularly enjoyable," Peters said.

Senior Scott Smith compared A Midsummer Night's Dream with other Lyceum events.

"I like to go to artistic productions, but after a while it gets stuffy, especially if you've seen a given 
performance, like the St. Louis Symphony, several times before," Smith said. "But this performance was 
interesting and refreshing because it was so modem. I especially liked the AI Pacino impersonations."

While modernity may have been the performance's saving grace for some students, others found it 
disagreeable. Sophomore Jeff Rohrick thought the script writers went overboard.

"I went that evening to be entertained and I was," Rohrick said. "But I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it. 
I'm glad someone was trying something new and it might have worked if they would have kept it under 
control."

Freshman Jon Herbert said he was appalled by the performance.

"I went to the show excited about seeing a Shakespeare comedy," Herbert said. "What I saw 
disappointed me, to say the least. The audience should have known what to expect."

Senior Derek Donovan was especially disappointed by an apparent lack of attention to the original 
context of the play.

"This was the worst Lyceum event we've had," Donovan said. "There was so much potential and it was 
wasted. They were a group of very talented, but very misguided people."

Junior Patrick Finney also challenged some of the interpretations in the play, although he liked it overall.

"I liked the sexuality because it's sexuality that Shakespeare put there and is usually glossed over," 
Finney said. "But I would have done some interpretative things differently. However, that wasn't a fault 
in the production."

Although opinions of The Acting Company's performance differed, nearly everyone agreed that the 
show was entertaining and funny. Due to the fact that midterms were rapidly approaching, everyone 
needed a dose of "the best medicine."

Members of the Amabile Piano Quartet, a lively and energetic act, pose with their instruments. The 
quartet performed a variety of classical numbers at Northeast, such as Brahms, Beethoven and 
Schubert. They brought life to musical masters of days gone by. The Amabile Quartet was the last 
performance of the '91-'92 Lyceum Series. The end of the season also marked the end of Gilbert 
Kohlenberg's career as the Lyceum committee chairman, (photo submitted)

Quartet enlivens classical tunes

The performance by the Amabile Quartet March 9 marked the end of the Lyceum Series season and the 
end of an era. Gilbert Kohlenberg relenquished his position as chairman of the Lyceum Committee after 
30 years of service. Jim Shaddy, professor of ecology, will succeed Kohlenberg.

"I feel it is a privilege to be able to step into this role," Shaddy said. "The whole thing excites me. Dr. 
Kohlenberg and the committee have done a wonderful job in bringing in a variety of performances and I 
look forward to this as an opportunity to continue their job."

Shaddy said he would try to organize the Lyceum Series much as Kohlenberg did.

The all-female quartet's performance in Baldwin Hall Auditorium featured a repertoire of mostly 
classical music. The audience heard pieces by composers like Brahms, Beethoven and Schubert.

"I thought the selection of music was wonderful," senior Erin Conway said. "The pieces were not so 
obscure that they were inaccessible or unheard of for people who aren't classical music enthusiasts, yet 
they weren't the same generic pieces that everyone has heard a thousand times, either."

Junior Jennifer Kelly did not share Conway's enthusiasm for the Amabile Quartet or for the Lyceum 
Series in general.

"I don't think the committee does a very good job of picking the events," Kelly said. "I think the Quartet 
is a good example because they played the same tired pieces that they force on people in high school."

Conway said the Lyceum committee does well in choosing events which appeal to a wide variety of 
people.

"I think the hardest part of their job is choosing events," Conway said. "We have some people on this 
campus who are cultured and know a lot about the arts and others who don't know a lot about music or 
drama and go to the performances because they want to learn more."

Freshman Alan Perkins said he thought music enthusiasts and the general public alike were able to enjoy 
the Amabile Quartet.

"I'm a music buff and I've played the piano for twelve years," Perkins said. "I was glad the Quartet 
performed familiar works because it made them more accessible to everyone."

In general, audience reaction to the Quartet seemed positive.

"They brought new dimension to good material," Conway said. "That's what a quality performance 
should do."

Academics
Volume of Knowledge

While Northeast's innovative academic program put us on the map, it was the hard work and dedication 
of the students and faculty that kept us there.

Time after time, we proved that a liberal-arts university located in a small Midwestern town could have 
a vast volume of knowledge and culture to share. From an award-winning College Bowl team, to a 
professor recognized as the best in the state, Northeast students and faculty demonstrated they had 
what it took to perform in and out of the classroom.

But beyond the award-winners and finely mapped out plans was the real force behind Northeast's 
academic success -- the sense of community. Students and faculty worked together to share ideas, to 
praise and to offer constructive criticism. Together, we worked through unknown territory to become 
more familiar. Sure, the map kept changing, we sometimes lost our way or chose a new course; but it 
kept getting better. Through discussion, debate, sharing new findings and digging for answers, we knew 
we had a legend in the making.

After a year-long process of nominations, evaluations and observations, Candy Young, associate 
professor of political science, was named Educator of the Year.

Young received her award at the April 22 banquet, which was held in the SUB Georgian Room. When her 
name was called, Young received a standing ovation from those in attendance. Both the award and the 
applause showed the gratitude and respect Young earned from her students.

"Not only is she a good teacher, she's also very personable," junior Sabrena Boulware said. "She's willing 
to help you with whatever you need."

Young has a bachelors degree from Columbia College (Mo.). She also holds masters and doctorate 
degrees from the University of Missouri--Columbia.

Young said one of the best things about winning the award was talking to the students who nominated 
her at the banquet.

"Ultimately, the students are the ones responsible for the award," Young said. "I was glad they were 
there so I could share my gratitude with them."

Describing her philosophy of teaching, Young said she wanted students to be able to analyze and 
interact with materials.

"I want to take them beyond simple memorization of facts," Young said. "After reading a text, they 
should be able to figure out not only what is stated, but also what is implied. Then I try to help them 
understand what that information means to society."

To help students interact with materials, Young emphasized class discussions and writing projects.

"I would describe my courses as writing intensive," Young said. "I think of writing as an interaction 
between the student and the material and a dialogue between the professor and the student. Writing is 
the way to make sense out of things."

This was the fourth year for the award. A selection committee composed of two representatives from 
Alpha Phi Sigma, Pershing Society, Phi Eta Sigma and Student Senate decided the recipient.

The decision was made through a five-step process. In the fall, the committee accepted nominations. 
Faculty members then accepted the nominations and wrote responses to several questions about their 
educational philosophies. On the basis of the student nominations and faculty responses, 12 semi-
finalists were chosen.

All of the semi-finalists' students filled out evaluations. This process helped the committee choose six 
finalists. Committee members then sat in on the finalists' classes to observe them at work. The final step 
was selecting and announcing the recipient.

Young said knowing the selection process made the award more meaningful.

"I was honored even to be among the group of professors considered for the award," Young said. "I have 
a lot of respect for them as well for the committee members who put so much time into the selection 
process."

After only four years at a small town university, most professors were starting to take their place among 
faculty. They might be experimenting with lesson plans or teaching techniques, but they usually weren't 
winning national recognition.

Professor Dean Van Galen was not like most professors. Van Galen was named NMSU's Educator of the 
Year in 1989 and has since capped his achievements by being named a finalist for national Professor of 
the Year. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education chose Van Galen from a list of 439 
entries from 47 states, representing some 337 institutions.

With such honors behind him, Van Galen should be basking in the glory, right? Wrong.

"Obviously, I'm honored and excited, although I have to admit I really do not enjoy the publicity," Van 
Galen said. "There are many outstanding educators on this campus, and being singled out is an awkward 
feeling."

Although Van Galen did not like the publicity, his credentials justified his acclamation from CASE.

After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with a B.S. in 
chemistry and a minor in mathematics, Van Galen went on to attain his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry 
from Kansas State University.

The year before coming to NMSU, Van Galen served his post-doctoral fellowship at the University of 
California -- Berkeley.

While Van Galen teaches mainly classes for chemistry majors, like Basic and General Chemistry, 
Quantitative and Instrumental Analysis, and Freshman Seminar, he seems quite popular with the 
students.

"He's got a really good rapport with his students and he's really thorough," senior Brian Bird said. "He's 
one of those instructors that you're not afraid to go to if you have a question. Dr. Van Galen explains 
things so you can understand them and if you don't, he makes sure you do."

Besides the hours spent with students, Van Galen donated his time to various campus committees and 
organizations, gave presentations, attended conferences and published writings in numerous journals 
across the United States.

"Basically, he puts a lot of time into what he does," junior Eric Bohannan said. "You can't not like the 
guy. He's just a genuinely good person."

Van Galen said he thought his "human side" was what students liked best.

"I try to share the excitement I have for science and education in general and I enjoy getting to know the 
students," Van Galen said. "I think there is a very important 'human side' of teaching that is hard to 
describe but is very fundamental."

With all he had accomplished in four years, what would Van Galen do next?

"He can just sit back on his laurels now, because there's no contest for educator of the universe," 
Bohannan said.

(Page 73)

In a world filled with cliches and generalizations, one might have imagined graduating seniors reflecting 
on their college careers and anticipating their futures. But many spring graduates pondered more 
immediate matters like stifling heat and mispronunciation of their names.

This year's May 9 ceremony was the 122nd spring commencement. More than 900 students received 
bachelors, masters and specialists degrees.

"The heat was unbearable during the entire ceremony," graduating senior Jim McGowin said. "We were 
all sitting together in those long robes with the sun beating right down on us."

A change in the traditional format of the ceremony created additional discomfort for some. This was the 
first spring commencement at which the names of all the graduates were read.

"Until I attended the actual ceremony, I thought reading the names was a great idea," junior Melissa 
Tompkins said. "But they totally slaughtered some of my friends' names. If I was them, I'd rather not 
have my name read at all than have it mangled."

Some students disagreed. They thought reading the names made the ceremony more personal and 
memorable.

"It's like taking a moment to recognize everything you've done to get your degree," junior Sabrena 
Boulware said. "I think the names should always be read."

McGowin thought reading the names was a good idea. Yet he thought the process
would be more organized in the future.

"It was a little disorganized and probably could have been handled better," McGowin said. "But I think 
it's a good idea for all the graduates to be recognized. I also like it that they read the names quickly, so 
that it didn't make the ceremony unbearably long."

Alphonso Jackson, executive director of the Dallas Housing Authority, delivered the keynote address. 
Jackson received a bachelors degree in political science from Northeast in 1968 and a masters degree in 
education administration in 1969. He served on the Regional Selection Panel for the White House 
Fellowship program and was a member of President Bush's National Commission on America's Urban 
Families.

"I was very impressed with his speech," McGowin said. "He used a lot of anecdotes. His stories held my 
attention and also helped me see how what he said could be applied to the real world. He had a lot of 
experience to back up his views."

Some students, however, were unmoved by Jackson's address.

"I think he meant to inspirational," Tompkins said. "But he came off as overzealous and trite. I really 
didn't get much out of it."

Some graduates might have been dissatisfied by speeches, commencement procedures or the weather, 
but they emerged satisfied with their accomplishments and ready for the real world.

The tie was snug around Mark's neck as nervous sweat rolled down his face.
Mark was about to sample the real world of internships.

Like Mark, many college students invested their time and money in internships to gain professional 
insight.

"The decision to participate in an internship program must be well thought out," Mariella Mecozzi-
Marshall, Career Placement Center specialist, said. "Students must ask themselves about the type of 
experience they want, the ability to pay attention for intern credit and the need for paid work."

Once a student decided to pursue an internship, ways to locate them varied as much as the types of 
internship experiences.

Senior Kristine Werner decided to gain experience in the newspaper business when she was a freshman.

"I wrote letters to all the newspapers in my hometown," Wemer said. "I was hired for the summer when 
I was a freshman and was paid for two summers and worked for pay and internship credits last 
summer."

While Werner stayed at home and completed her internship, senior Joe Bambenek decided to intern at 
a nuclear plant in Finland.

"I worked at a nuclear plant in Minnesota for two summers and the Finnish plant asked them to send a 
student over for the summer," Bambenek said. "My main duty was checking valves to get information 
for their database."

Students who wanted to intern for credit had to work with the University and meet different 
requirements.

Wemer said she first had to meet GPA requirements, then fill out an application and turn in a work 
supervisor form listing the intern's responsibilities before she could enroll for credits.

To receive the actual credits, Werner said she had to turn in a daily work journal and write a paper 
addressing different aspects of her experience.

On the other side, students had to pay full tuition cost for credits. They had to decide if the experience 
would be worth it.

Although there were many questions to be considered and requirements to be met, most students and 
faculty felt internships were worth the effort and cost.

"Internships definitely help students reach their career goals," Jim Edwards, associate professor of 
business and accounting, said. "Company representatives are given the chance to look at interns for 
future employment."

Werner said her summer internships taught her almost everything she needed to know about 
newspaper production.

"If I had to put together a newspaper I would be able to do it," Werner said. "My internship will help me 
with my career goals in a number of ways."

Internship work was valuable and beneficial, but students had to consider their priorities and resources 
before making a final decision to intern.

76 ~ President Warren
 
(Page 77)

After a full year at NMSU, President Russell Warren seems to know where he wants to go as president. 
Since he arrived on campus in August 1990, Warren has pursued goals like understanding the 
University's students and needs, establishing a development office and reaching out to the Kirksville 
community.

Warren said he felt his first year was a period of adjustment for the University because of his arrival, but 
now he said he feels established and on steadier footing.

Warren coped with a lot of the adjustment by holding student luncheons at his home to get to know the 
student body. He also attended more than 20 alumni receptions all over the country and helped along 
various renovations including Mainstreet Market.

"Every year I ask myself, 'Am I having a good time? Am I making a contribution?' And I also have to look 
at faculty, students and the board and try to judge whether they're still pleased with me, " Warren said.

Not only did Warren accomplish his initial goals, he also created a new set of priorities which include 
developing a better sense of community on campus.

"This has always been a positive university," Warren said. "But I'm not yet sure we have a university 
where everyone is mutually supportive of each other."

Warren said the quality of life outside the classroom is extremely important to any university and should 
never be overlooked.

"In my view, we have a great academic program and everything else ought to be at that terrific level," 
Warren said.

Many students think President Warren did a good job in his first year achieving his goals and setting 
promising priorities.

"Most administrators say they're going to do something and then they don't," sophomore Hope Bunn 
said. "He's doing what he says and he seems like he's trying really hard. I think his goals are worthwhile."

"President Warren's outlook has brought a new life to the University," senior Melissa Kerber. "Now 
other students, as well as myself, feel we have a chance to make our ideas known. That's what I think 
the goal of a liberal arts university should be."

When Warren was not busy resolving complicated issues, he enjoyed recreational activities like: 
vacationing in his South Carolina beach condominium, reading, playing golf, throwing small parties, 
driving his red '67 Corvette and playing the piano.

Many students were surprised by this. Apparently, they had their own ideas about what presidents do in 
their spare time.

Junior Chris Grotewiel said he thought the president put on disguises and crashed fraternity parties.

Junior Chris Vander Pluym said he thought Warren got into bar room brawls at TP's Office.

President Warren said although there are social limitations to the job, he doesn't feel it is a great 
deprivation.

78 ~ Blow-Off Classes
 
(Page 79)

When you were leafing through the catalog of classes for next semester, you might stop and wondered, 
"Northeast offers a class in THAT? That's cheesy!"

The cheese in this case was commonly referred to as a "blow-off class." Translation: this course was not 
as academically challenging as most.

So what did students consider blow-off classes?

"Bowling and billiards would be pretty easy," alumnus Martin Yoakum said. "I mean, you wouldn't have 
to study for it or anything."

Other courses cited as easy A's included Basic Approach to the Arts, Use of Library Resources and certain 
classes in the Health and Exercise Science Division.

"Basic Approach to the Arts is easy," freshman Michelle Robbins said. "You don't have to know any of it 
to pass. I'm living proof of that."

"I thought that Use of Library Resources was a blow-off," junior Trish Yoakum said. "You have to know 
how to use the library in order to go to school here and if you have any questions you can just ask 
somebody, like the librarian."

Some health and exercise science electives were singled out as blow-off classes.

"Those one-hour aerobics classes are a waste of time and effort," senior Jill Kozup said.

Comments like this met with opposition from health and exercise science majors.

"There are no easy classes," senior Lorel King said. "People outside this major don't realize that we've 
got to take classes like physiology and anatomy."

So how did an instructor feel when her class has been designated a blow-off or just plain cheesy?

Regina Lindhorst taught ballroom dancing and jazz exercise dance. Lindhorst said classes that were not 
mentally taxing could be important.

"Every class doesn't have to be academically taxing to be enriching," Lindhorst said. "There's more to the 
world than book knowledge."

Lindhorst also believed her classes were beneficial to relaxing the brain.

"The brain needs a break from academics and physical exercise classes let the brain relax," Lindhorst 
said. "All of the mental aspects of learning don't do you any good if you aren't healthy and in shape to 
use them."

Eleanor Ellebracht taught Use of Library Resources. She admitted she did not see the class as 
challenging, but she pointed out its practicality.

"I think it is one of the most useful classes a student can take," Ellebracht said. "The class may be easy in 
itself, but we're constantly seeing people who have trouble using the library."

So the next time you labeled a class a blow-off, keep in mind you couldn't judge a book by its cover and 
you couldn't judge a class by its title.

80 ~ Board of Governors
 
(Page 81)

The Board of Governors approved major changes at the University during the academic year, while 
facing changes of its own. The Board voted in favor of developing a new co-ed housing policy, 
implementing a conflict of interest policy and increasing tuition. At the same time, it faced a new 
student representative and the prospect of a faculty representative.

In January, Missouri Governor John Ashcroft appointed freshman Phil Christofferson to replace senior 
Nikki Phillips as student representative to the Board of Governors. Phillips' two-year term expired in 
December. Christofferson was among three finalists chosen by a student selection committee to be 
interviewed by Ashcroft.

"I was very happy to be asked to serve in this capacity," Christofferson said.

Although Christofferson's appointment came after the Board's decision on co-ed housing and the 
conflict of interest policy, the new student representative did have the opportunity to represent student 
opinion on the tuition increase.

Christofferson said the decision to raise tuition came about with little debate.

"There wasn't a lot of debate because everyone knew it was coming," Christofferson said. "It was just 
kind of a resigned sigh."

Still, the Board did not want future tuition increases to be as large as this one.
"In a sense they were saying, 'It's OK this time, let's just not do it again,"' Christofferson said.

In March, the Board of Governors reviewed a decision by President Russell Warren to cut stipends for 
internships and undergraduate research. Christofferson said he tried to express the concern many 
students felt about the cuts.

"I said there were students who were concerned about the cuts and the Board was really receptive to 
this," Christofferson said. "They really listened to what I had to say."

The Board of Governors did not decide on the cuts immediately, but referred the issue to a committee 
for further study.

Whether to cut internship and research stipends was just one of the tough decisions the Board would 
have to face in the near future. The failure of Proposition B in November left the University with the 
prospect of hard financial times. In addition, the Board of Governors might face changes in its 
membership.

A proposal introduced by State Representative Doug Harpool would increase Board membership from 
nine to eleven. The new members, a faculty representative and a second out-of-state member, would 
not have votes. Currently, the out-of-state representative and the student representative are non-voting 
members.

Christofferson said regardless of any changes, he would continue to actively voice student concerns.

"I will pretty much just say what I think the students want to say," Christofferson said.

82 ~ Residence Halls vs. Residential Colleges
 
(Page 83)

As they contemplated their housing arrangements, incoming freshmen had to choose between living in 
a residence hall or residential college. Although residence halls provided a broader range of social 
programs, residential colleges offered greater intereaction with professors.

Missouri and Ryle Halls housed the residential colleges. Each was divided into two colleges and a 
professor directed each college.

Joyce Hearn, associate professor of family sciences, said interaction between students and professors 
was an integral part of the residential college system.

"We want to bridge the gap between the learning environment and the social environment," Hearn said.

Julian Caldwell, Missouri Hall director, said the small student-to-staff ratio was one advantage of the 
residential colleges.

"In the colleges, we try to have one peer adviser for every 20 to 25 students," Caldwell said. "In the halls, 
it's more like 35 or 45 students for every resident adviser."

Sophomore Angi Hardan said she preferred living in Centennial Hall to living in Ryle Hall.

"I've lived in both and I liked Centennial better," Hardan said. "The Ryle staff was nosey. The ones in 
Centennial stayed out of your business unless you were causing trouble."

Caldwell said peer advisers were encouraged to show concern for their residents.
"They serve as role models," Caldwell said. "They also advise students concerning their academic habits. 
That's their primary purpose."

Doug Daubert, Dobson Hall director, said RAs in the traditional residence halls emphasized social 
development.

"We have a lot more social programs than the colleges do," Daubert said. "We try to help students take 
time out of their studies and get involved."

The residential college system offered many interdisciplinary classes. Hearn said she was excited about 
the variety offered.

"With interdisciplinary courses, we try to make connections between divisions, and between the 
classroom and the real world," Hearn said.

Hearn said she hoped residential college courses would become a larger part of the curriculum in the 
future.

"I'd like to see students be able to use them to fulfill core requirements," Hearn said. "Right now, they 
can be substituted for core courses only in certain cases."

Daubert said he hoped residents of traditional halls would take advantage of courses.

"I'd like to think the halls and colleges help each other out," Daubert said. "People from all over campus 
and people from off-campus take residential college classes. In the same way, when there's a program 
or discussion on a social issue in Dobson, we'd like to see everyone come and give their input."

84 ~ Graduate Teaching Research Assistants
 
(Page 85)

Most students study for tests, prepare for classes and do research. But some students had extra 
responsibilities: answering questions, grading papers, giving tests and preparing lesson plans. They were 
graduate teaching research assistants.

Rob Pontious, a GTRA for the Division of Fine Arts, said he directed and selected the repertoire for the 
Chamber Singers, served as assistant director of the University Chorus and the NEMO Singers and gave 
voice lessons to twelve students. He did this work in addition to taking eleven hours of graduate classes.

"Between classes and everything else, it keeps me busy," Pontious said.

Pontious said he taught vocal music for a year before starting graduate school.

"The nice thing about when I was teaching public school was I could come home at night and I was 
done," Pontious said. "I didn't have any studying to do, any practicing to do. Now when I go home, I can 
start working on the things I need to work on."

Pontious said being a teacher also taught him how to study.

"Since I was a teacher, I know how to study now, which I didn't know when I was an undergrad," 
Pontious said. "I saw things in my students which I didn't like...their habits, their laziness and how they 
wouldn't prepare. Now I know how to be a student."

Jeff Mueller, GTRA for the Division of Business and Accountancy, said his Principles of Accounting 
students paid attention, asked questions and visited his office.

"They want to learn," Mueller said. "There's a certain amount of pressure, especially when students ask 
questions."

In addition to teaching a three-hour accounting class, Mueller said he was enrolled in nine hours of 
classes.

Rita Andrus, GTRA for the Division of Language and Literature, said she was also busy with teaching and 
classes.

"I feel harried," Andrus said. "It's hard to have a life."

Andrus said having her office in Ryle Residential College helped her students.

"The students don't have to track me down all over campus," Andrus said. "I teach in a conference 
room. It's a nice room. It has a special karma."

Andrus said she would like to go into the Peace Corps or get a doctorate.

"I'm still looking for my calling," Andrus said.

Mueller said he planned to work as a certified public accountant.

"I want to see what the business world is like," Mueller said. "If I like it, I'll probably stay in. I'd like to 
work for a few years then get a PhD."

Pontious said he would like a college teaching position which would allow him to work on a doctorate 
degree in the summer and gain experience during the year.

"I would like to work on my doctorate, but I need to go out and teach some more because I've only 
taught for one year," Pontious said. "I feel I need to teach more."

86 ~ Undergraduate Research Stipends
 
(Page 87)

Undergraduate research stipends provided funding for approximately lOO students each year. In March, 
however, President Warren announced the stipends would be eliminated after the 1992 summer 
semester.

Lynn Gillette, associate vice president for academic affairs, said eliminating the stipends would not alter 
the quality or quantity of undergraduate research done.

"I don't think cutting the stipends will hurt the quality of research one iota," Gillette said. "If anything, 
the quality will improve."

Gillette said eliminating the stipends would encourage students with a genuine interest in their work to 
do research.

"If a student is doing research just because he or she wants money, I would suggest he or she get a part-
time job instead," Gillette said. "Anyone who is really excited about their work will engage in research 
for the sake of learning and contributing something to the scholarly community."

For most students doing research, stipends were not the primary source of financial aid. They received 
an average of $1,700 in other scholarship money. Yet Jack Magruder, vice president of academic affairs, 
said only some undergraduate research stipends were paid for by the University. Magruder felt singling 
out certain type of students or research was discriminatory to other students and other departments.

"We're committed to undergraduate research stipends and internships because they add to the quality 
of the student and to this university," Magruder said. "But we can't justify picking one group over 
another to receive money."

Dean Van Galen, assistant professor of chemistry, disagreed. Van Galen said he did extensive research 
with students and found the stipends helpful.

"I've always thought the stipends were an excellent use of University money," Van Galen said. "They 
enabled students who couldn't do research otherwise to get involved."

Van Galen said summer research would suffer most from the cuts.

"A lot of students can't get their scholarships applied to summer tuition," Van Galen said.

Senior Susan Smith also opposed the cuts.

"Even if you're really excited about doing research, you still have to get by somehow," Smith said. "Not 
having stipends means the wealthy can still do research, but needy students can't."

Van Galen said he would try to help students get paid for their undergraduate research.

"Faculty can pay them from their research grants or help them find grants from other sources," Van 
Galen said. "I'm sorry to see the stipends go, but this shouldn't mean the end of research at Northeast."

88 ~ Published Faculty
 
(Page 89)

Publish or perish. At some universities, faculty members were expected or even required to have their 
research published in the leading journals of their field. If they did not, their chances of receiving tenure 
or even keeping their jobs might have been in jeopardy.

At Northeast, several faculty members had their works published, but some said pressure to publish 
came not from the University, but from other sources.

"Most of the faculty who publish do so because there is something they want to express," Shirley 
Morahan, associate professor of English, said. "I do think newer faculty feel that if they don't publish, 
they're in trouble."

Devoting time to both research and teaching may sound like a heavy load, but many professors said 
doing both was important.

"Most of the things we do are things that arise from teaching," Jerry Mayhew, professor of exercise 
science, said. "We end up doing things that, in turn, feed information back to the class."

Bob Mielke, assistant professor of English, agreed with Mayhew.

"Research and teaching go hand in hand," Mielke said. "They're a dialectic, they shouldn't be 
separated."

Inspirations for topics and subjects came from many different areas. One example was Mielke's book, 
Tickling the Dragon's Tail: American Nuclear Culture. The book, scheduled for release on the 50th 
anniversary of the first American nuclear tests, had been an idea in Mielke's mind since the Cuban 
Missile Crisis in 1962.

One of the most prolific faculty publishers was Marlow Ediger, professor of education. Ediger had over 
1500 articles published on six continents in several languages. But even Ediger sometimes had difficulty 
getting published.

"I had one article turned down seven times and I was ready to give up on that article," Ediger said. "I 
sent it in an eighth time to The Instructor magazine. They even published the title on the cover of the 
journal."

Professors often found it easier to write or do research when they were on sabbatical from the 
University.

"When I went on sabbatical, I got seven chapters of a mystery novel completed," Morahan said. "That 
was four years ago, and I've been too busy since then to get back to it. I would like to have time to do 
other writing than academic, so I have to do it on the side."

While some professors thought students missed out on educational opportunities when a professor was 
pressured to do research, Mielke said he thought it might actually help the student.

"The good teacher is the one who is able to bring in the fresh stuff they are thinking about and writing 
about, rather than reading off the note cards from something they did 10 years ago," Mielke said.

Although the University claimed to promote active learning, many students found themselves enduring 
boring lectures. However, by planning their course schedules properly, students could escape these 
lectures for something more inspiring.

Albert Copley, assistant profesor of earth science, taught Directed Field Studies --speleology, a cave 
exploration course. All class members had to spend three weekends exploring caves. During these 
weekends, they also went camping and canoeing.

"I let them know what to expect right away," Copley said. "The caves are very cold and wet and it's easy 
to get hurt."

For those preferring a warmer climate, June Sullivan, assistant professor of communication, taught 
Critical Perspectives on Performance. Ten class members traveled to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

Junior Gregory Orear said the class studied carnivalization theories. During the Mardi Gras trip, they 
experienced carnivalization firsthand.

"During a carnival, all of society's values are reversed," Orear said. "The profane becomes sacred and the 
sacred becomes profane. You can only understand carnivalization if you experience it yourself."

While in New Orleans, Orear said he literally exposed himself to Cajun culture.

"My most memorable experience was when I flashed two middle-aged nymphos for beads," Orear said.

Orear said parade bystanders often displayed signs urging people to expose
themselves. For those that responded, the bystanders tossed colored beads.

While Orear was unzipping his pants in New Orleans, some Basic Aviation students were fastening their 
seat belts for takeoff.

Mark Thompson, a commercial pilot, taught Basic Aviation. Although lectures and tests were an integral 
part of the course, Thompson sometimes tooks students with him on his flights.

"When I fly out of St. Louis or Kansas City, I try to get permission to take an interested student or two 
with me," Thompson said.

Basic Aviation's popularity soared to new heights this year. About 38 people, including President 
Warren, enrolled in the Thursday evening class. Several local high school students also attended.

Inspired by their Basic Aviation experiences, Thompson and some of his students wanted to organize an 
aviation club. They hoped to buy an airplane which could be used to demonstrate flight principles to 
future students.

"Our funds are limited, so it wouldn't be a plane that could be flown," Thompson said. "But we could use 
it to show the different parts of an airplane and their functions."

Those who lacked extra room in their schedules could only escape endless lectures by daydreaming. But 
for those with spare time and a sense of adventure, other options were available.

92 ~ Dean of the Colleges and Dean of Student Affairs
 
(Page 93)

Thanks to some administrative shuffling, Terry Smith was named full-time dean of the colleges last 
August.

Smith served as both dean of the colleges and dean of students last year.

Vonnie Nichols, who served as acting dean of students while Smith was in England, was named acting 
dean of student affairs.

Both Smith and Nichols said they were happy with their new positions.

Smith said he could now devote all of his energy to the residential colleges.

"Last year when I was both dean of the colleges and dean of students, I was only able to devote about a 
third of my time to being dean of the colleges," Smith said. "Now I can devote all of my time and energy 
to improving our residential college programs."

Originally, Nichols was going to be dean of student affairs until Dean Smith returned. However, when 
Smith was named dean of colleges she was asked to stay on as dean of student affairs for the time 
being.

"When Dr. Warren asked me to stay on as dean of student affairs, I had to think about it for a while," 
Nichols said. "I had previously been the head of Residential Living and I knew this job had a lot more 
responsibililty with it."

Smith said the decision to be dean of the colleges was a joint decison between him and President Russell 
Warren.

"Last year we had some consultants from other universities come in and the one thing they told us was 
that we had a great residential college program that wasn't meeting its full potential," Smith said. "Dr. 
Warren and I felt the only way we could improve our residential college program was to have a full-time 
dean of the colleges."

Smith said while he was in England he studied their residential college systems. He said he hoped to 
incorporate some of the things he learned in England. Smith hoped to promote more interaction 
between faculty and students within the four residential colleges.

"We have the potential to have one of the best residential college programs in the nation," Smith said.

Smith said he has also enjoyed having more contact with students this year.

"When my office was in McClain Hall, it was hard for me to have a lot of contact with students," Smith 
said.

Smith said with his office in Ryle Hall, he was able to have more one-on-one contact with students and 
to see them in their living environment.

Nichols said she was concerned about not having any previous experience to manage the job. However, 
she said she had other positions in which she didn't have any previous experience and she was able to 
adapt quickly to the new environment. Nichols didn't know how long she would remain as dean of 
student affairs. As for now, she welcomed the challenge and the change of pace.

All the news that was fit to print -- and some that wasn't. That's what Northeast students heard as they 
were inundated by the media.

President Bush turned up the volume on his message that he could pull the country out of a recession 
while Bill Clinton, Paul Tsongas and Jerry Brown tried to put their hands over his mouth.

The American people met in volume to greet the Iran hostages in style while Magic Johnson tuned us in 
to the AIDS epidemic. American manufacturers tried to pump up their sales by making noise over 
foreign made products as "Japan bashing" became a buzzword.

Although we tried, we could not turn down the volume on the many stories of scandal and gossip. 
Congress bounced an unforeseen volume of checks, Geraldo turned the world on to his supposed 
conquests and Bill Clinton allegedly turned down the draft and turned on Gennifer Flowers.

Through all this information, we had to sort, decipher and decode, one thing became clear -- more is not 
necessarily better.

Making a Legend

Babe Ruth, Bo Jackson and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Like these sports legends, Northeast athletes displayed 
the athletic excellence to make others stand up and take notice.

You might not have known the names or faces of our athletes in the making, but that didn't stop them 
from remaining dedicated to their sport. You see, these athletes were used to going on little recognition, 
but that was about to change.
One by one they left their mark on the University community.

Whether it was as the Athlete of the Week, the team star or the one who always stood on the sidelines 
and supported the team, they all came out winners.

To them, victory wasn't the factor that drove them to continue, it was the game, the comaraderie and 
the sense of accomplishment they got from knowing they did their best.

With each run, kick, spike and save, they found a place in the history books in hopes that one day they 
would be remembered as Northeast's finest -- our own sports legends.

Overcoming slump with late-season surge

Adversity filled the 1991 Bulldog football season. Starting quarterback Chris Livingstone transferred from 
Mizzou and was completely new to the Bulldog offense. The defense was inexperienced with as many as 
nine freshmen and sophomores playing at times.

The 'Dogs also started the year off with three straight road games, including one against then number 
two ranked Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

To make matters worse, the 'Dogs lost five of their first six games. It looked like this would certainly be a 
season to forget.

"At that point, I would have to say we probably started to get really frustrated,"
Head Coach Eric Holm said.

But, luckily, the Bulldogs overcame these obstacles. They went on to win four out of their last five games 
and finished in a tie for third place in the MIAA conference with a record of 5-4.

"After those losses, we put it all behind us," sophomore linebacker Robby Flannagan said. "We started 
to correct things week by week. We knew we couldn't dwell on them."

Junior tailback Chad Guthrie said he believes a change in the offensive scheme helped turn things 
around.

"In the beginning of the season, we were throwing the ball way too much," Guthrie said. "We were 
expecting Chris [Livingstone] to be able to throw for two to three hundred yards a game. Since this was 
his first year with the team, he couldn't do it. We started to run the ball more and then our defense 
could stay off the field and we started winning."

And run they did, primarily with Guthrie, who set a school and MIAA conference record for single season 
rushing with 1,649 yards. He also tied the school and conference record for touchdowns in a season with 
20.

"Chad had a good year the year before," Holm said. "So we knew he had the talent. It just took us a 
while to figure out how to use it."

Although the Bulldog coaches were able to use Guthrie's talent, they weren't able to stop the opponents 
from scoring. The Bulldog defense surrendered 361 points for an average of almost 33 points a game.

"It seemed like every game we wouldn't get things clicking until the second half," Flannagan said.

"They would frequently score early on us and would make big plays on our inexperienced secondary."

Flannagan also notes that the loss of the 1990 seniors really hurt the team, especially the defense.

"The seniors last year [1990] really made a huge impact, which is why we went so far," Flannagan said. 
"All of a sudden, they were gone and people who had little college experience like myself had to step in 
and do the job."

Lack of experience shouldn't affect the 'Dogs next year. They are losing twelve seniors, but only four of 
them were starters.

"We are definitely losing some good players," Holm said. "But that happens every year and I do think we 
will be able to replace most of them."

Because of the large number of returning players, the 'Dogs are excited about the team's chances.

"I am very optimistic about next year," Flannagan said. "I think our offense and defense will gel and we 
are really going to make people take notice."

"I really think its limitless," Guthrie said. "I can see no reason why we shouldn't have one of the best 
teams in the nation."

Losing key games costs tournament spot

Before the season even began, the men's soccer team knew that a long road lay ahead if they wanted to 
return to the NCAA national tournament.

Head Coach Dave Poggi lost his entire starting lineup in the backfield to graduation. Still, he hoped a 
small group of experienced players could lead a young and largely untested roster back to a tournament 
appearance. But before the season even began, injuries took their toll, leaving the Bulldogs without 
some of their top players and putting the youthful roster to the test.

Early in the season, the 'Dogs struggled with one of the toughest road schedules in the country, which 
sapped their strength and confidence. Playing some of the top ranked soccer teams in the country, the 
'Dogs were below .500 at one point in the season, something which hadn't happened to the 'Dogs in 
several years.

"It is always harder to win on the road," Poggi said. "Unfortunately, because of our location and the 
geographical makeup of our region, many top regional opponents won't travel here to play us, which is 
lucky for them because we went undefeated at home."

Despite their win-loss record, the 'Dogs performed impressively against some of the top competition in 
the nation. Northeast went 1-3-1 against the ranked teams, but two of the three losses were by a single 
goal, with the other loss coming in overtime to Florida Institute of Technology, the 1991 national 
champion.

"Our first loss, against our regional rival Oakland [Mich.], was our toughest loss," senior goalkeeper 
Stefan Wall said. "We expected to win and we should've, but we ended up giving up a goal late in the 
game. It was a definite turning point in the season."

The 'Dogs faced all of their nationally ranked opponents on the road, including a three-week, five game 
road series. The 'Dogs came home for one game in October, but that game was no respite as the 'Dogs 
took on NAIA powerhouse Rockhurst (Ill.), beating the Hawks 3-1.

"I thought that our 3-1 win over Rockhurst, when they were ranked number one in the NAIA and 
undefeated and our 2-2 tie with UMSL when they were ranked number one [in NCAA Division II] and 
undefeated were our best games the entire season," Poggi said.

The 'Dogs finished strong, sweeping the final four games, but the late victories were not enough as the 
national tournament selection committee passed them by.

"[The road schedule] hurt us. We didn't get the results we needed," Wall said. "That early slump, despite 
our surge at the end wasn't good enough to get us into the tournament."

NMSU finished the season with a 10-5-1 record and ranked 15th in the NCAA Division national poll.

Four Bulldog players made the all-Midwest soccer team. Wall received his third consecutive all-Midwest 
honor and was named to the academic All-American list for the third year. Junior forward Matt Presley 
led the team in scoring and moved up to sixth on the all-time career scoring list. Sophomore Mark 
Lichfield and freshman Tim Dunne were also named to the Midwest team.

"We overcame some early obstacles in both opponents and injuries to finish out again as one of the top 
teams in the Midwest as well as the nation," Poggi said.

Kicking the season off with new direction

"We were glad to be able to play tougher competition. We looked at [the schedule] as a way to improve 
and I think we came away better because of the competition."
~Junior Amy Martin

The Lady Bulldogs soccer team started their season in a new direction. Head Coach Stephanie Gabbert 
took on her first head coaching job just three weeks before the season began.

Despite the late start on the season, junior forward Amy Martin thought Gabbert was just what the 
team needed to face the challenging season ahead.

"Everybody came in with a positive attitude. We knew a change had to be made and were ready for 
someone to come in," Martin said. "Our pre-season [practice] was great and everybody was really fired 
up. Even though Coach Gabbert found out at the last minute [about the job], she did a good job and 
came in and got us going. Everybody responded really well to her."

Senior back Pam Workman agreed with Martin's assessment.

"She explained things to us more clearly and she was more organized with our practices," Workman 
said. "I guess with every new coach there's always adjustments to be made, but everything went pretty 
smoothly."

But the Lady 'Dogs still had to play against a tough schedule, with several of their games on the road. 
The Lady 'Dogs experienced mixed results, but Martin felt that the experience was valuable.

"We were glad to be able to play tougher competition," Martin said. "I think the confidence was there, 
although we did have a slump midway through the season which brought our confidence down. We 
looked at [the schedule] as a way to improve and I think we came away better because of the 
competition."

Despite finishing the season with a 6-8-2 record, the Lady 'Dogs made an appearance in the NCAA 
Division II national poll for the first time in two years. They also defeated nationally ranked St. Joseph's 
(Indiana) and fought two other ranked opponents, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and Missouri-St. Louis, 
to deadlock games.

Workman said those two ties were important for the team.

"When we tied UMSL and SIU, that was an important step for us," Workman said. "Both teams were 
ranked ahead of us and it moved us up in the national rankings. It showed we were just as good as the 
top teams in the region, if not better."

But the Lady 'Dogs took some tough losses, including a loss to regional rival Quincy College (Illinois).

"The Quincy loss was hard, because they are also in our region and a top ranked team in the region," 
Workman said. "If we could have beaten them, we'd have been number two or three in the region. They 
also beat us bad last year and we wanted to get back at them, but we didn't."

Three players, junior forward Kathy Corson, the team's leading scorer with eight goals and two assists, 
sophomore mid-fielder Susana Mendoza and sophomore back Shelley Landa earned all-regional honors.

The '91 campaign also marked the end of four seniors' careers: Anne Elliott, Pam Workman, Maggie 
Froelich and Susan Kyle.

Overall, Martin felt the season, despite the record, will have an important effect on next year.

"Everybody was happy with [Gabbert]," Martin said. "Even though she brought in new things for us to 
work on in the pre-season which we had to hurry to try to adjust to, we improved overall and stepped 
up a level in our play."

Defeating obstacles en route to success

The Lady Bulldog volleyball team overcame a serious injury in their first match of the season to finish 
third in the MIAA. The squad had a 28-16 record overall.

The Lady Bulldogs got off to a rough start, losing to Morningside University at the University of 
Nebraska-Omaha tournament. To add insult to injury, returning sophomore Satako Miyamae tore her 
Achilles tendon, sidelining her for the rest of the season.

Head Coach Deb Masten was optimistic that after a six-month rehabilitation, Miyamae will be back on 
the court next season.

"The surprise of her [Miyamae's] injury threw the whole team off in the beginning," junior Anne Moe 
said. "But I think we bounced back really well."

Miyamae's injury forced Masten to add some inexperienced freshmen to the lineup.
"The freshmen had an effect at first because everything was not in sync, but after a few games 
everything started to gel," Moe said.

In the pre-season coaches' poll, the Lady 'Dogs were picked to place only seventh this season, after 
finishing third the previous year.

"I knew we would end up doing a lot better than that," Masten said.

The Lady 'Dogs did do better, placing third again this season. Several team members also took individual 
honors.

Senior Felicia Sutton placed all-conference first team and was ranked eighth in the nation in blocking. 
Neely Forbes won Freshman of the Year for outside hitting, fifth nationwide for service aces, and 
seventh for digs. Forbes was also named to the all-conference first team and the all-state fifth team.

"We had a really good supportive crowd this year. I only wish we could have had more home games so 
we could have shown them more."
~Junior Anne Moe

"I was shocked," Forbes said. "I had no idea that I had done that well. I didn't go into the season saying 
that I had to do so much per game. It really took me by surprise."

Junior Anne Moe also received honors, placing tenth in the nation for service aces.

According to Masten, team leadership and fan support were key ingredients to the success of the team 
this year. Masten said seniors Sutton and Shelley Picha really led the team.

Forbes said Sutton's leadership showed through at the first match of the MIA A conference against 
Missouri Western.

"In the first match we really performed poorly and Felicia was really upset," Forbes said. "She did not 
want to come all this way to embarrass not only herself, but the whole team. Before the second match 
started, Felicia went around to the team and got everyone fired up and going. We went on to win the 
game."

Masten and Moe both agreed the support of their fans helped the team this season.
"We had a really good supportive crowd this year. I only wish we could have played more home games 
so we could have shown them some more," Moe said.

Next year will be a tough year for the Lady Bulldogs. The team's entire front line will be graduating and 
many team members do not have much court experience. Even with these losses, the team remains 
confident.

"Volleyball is growing by leaps and bounds," Masten said. "It is becoming a much more popular sport 
and there will be new people to take the place of those who are going to be leaving us."

Surviving a season of rebuilding a tradition

With only one returning squad member, the 1991 Bulldog cross country team went through a season of 
readjustment and rebuilding.

"When you have that kind of inexperience, it really hurts your squad," Head Coach Ed Schneider said. 
"The freshmen ran well, it is just that you can't expect freshmen to run as well as juniors and seniors."

Junior Scott Beattie was the only returning squad member from the 1990 team.

"In some ways, it was a frustrating year," Beattie said. "But it wasn't a deserved frustration."

"Scott did a really good job for us," Schneider said. "He really provided us with the leadership we so 
desperately needed and he was also our top runner for most of the season."

Schneider said he was impressed with the performance of some of the freshmen.

"Thad Bartram and Chad Jansen really did well this year," Schneider said. "In the beginning of the year, I 
think they may have been just a little intimidated. However, towards the end of the year, they really 
came through for us when we needed them."

Intimidated or not, Beattie still thought the freshmen did well.

"I remember when I was a freshman and I was just terrible," Beattie said. "So I looked at our freshmen 
and I was really impressed with the job they did."

"I guess in the beginning I was a little intimidated," Bartram said. "Performing at the college level is so 
much more competitive than it ever was in high school."

The 'Dogs finished the season with a disappointing performance at the Great Lakes Regional. The squad 
finished 13 out of a 22 team field. Thad Bartram was the team's top finisher, placing 46th.

"We were pretty disappointed with our performance there," Beattie said. "Almost everyone had a bad 
race that day. And running on snow and ice certainly didn't help us any."

Despite the off-season, the Bulldogs expect to be competitive again.

"Undoubtedly we are going to be a lot better next year," Schneider said. "We'll be getting back our top 
runner of 1990, Rob Jensen. We are also expecting Dave Killeen and Mark Hogan to be back after sitting 
the year out and I'm sure they'll help the team out."

Beattie emphasized the importance of the return of Jensen, Hogan and Killeen, and the difference a 
little experience will make with the freshmen.

"They are going to be so much better next year," Beattie said. "The only way you get better at cross 
country is through experience and next year they will have some."

Coach Schneider said the squad is excited about next year.

"The guys have been talking about next year," Schneider said. "They do have the potential to be really 
good. However, they are going to have to train hard over the summer and stay healthy when the season 
rolls around."

"Next year, we really think we can go to nationals," Bartram said. "However, we know that in order to 
do that we will have to win regionals and we know that will be extremely difficult."

"This year was a frustrating year," Beattie said. "But we have a really strong tradition here of having 
excellent cross country teams and you can bet we are going to do all we can to be one of the best again 
next year."

Striding to be the best, not one of the rest

The Lady Bulldog cross country team entered the 1991 season optimistic that they would once again 
enjoy another successful season.

As the season progressed, it appeared they would realize their hopes. The Lady 'Dogs finished first at the 
Dick Buxton Invitational (Indianola, Iowa), second at the Cougar Classic (Edwardsville, Ill.) and Miner 
Invitational (Rolla) and first at the Missouri Southern Invitational (Joplin).

Next the Lady Bulldogs moved on to the MIAA conference championship (Joplin), hoping they would win 
their first conference championship in school history. But the team finished in second place, a mere five 
points away from the first place team, Pittsburg State (Kan.).

After the setback, the Lady Bulldogs lost confidence and placed a disappointing fifth at the Great Lakes 
Regional (Edwardsville, Ill.).

"All in all, I would have to say it was a pretty disappointing finish to a pretty good year for us," senior 
Debbie Bries said.

Junior Rhonda Ruden put the team's performance in a different perspective.
"It's not as much where we finished but how well the team ran," Ruden said.

Unfortunately, though, the team didn't run too well.

"A couple of our people didn't have too good of races," said Head Coach John Cochrane. "We were really 
affected by the conditions which didn't help us any."

"I really don't know what happened," said Ruden. "We just didn't perform as well as we thought we 
would."

Despite the disappointing finish, the Bulldog team did have a successful season. They were ranked in the 
top twenty MIAA divisional rankings for the sixth straight year.

"Even though we suffered a disappointing finish, we still had a pretty good year," Cochrane said. "I know 
we ended up doing a lot better than most people thought we would do."

Four players, Ruden, Bries, senior Michelle Coleman and junior Lisa Dillin, gained all-conference honors 
for the Bulldogs.

The 1991 season also marked the end of two seniors' careers, Coleman and Bries.

"We are definitely going to miss them," said Cochrane. "They had good years like many seniors should. I 
also can't emphasize the importance lots of experience makes. You get better at cross country by 
running and the only way you can get four years of experience is obviously by running for four years."

Ruden also agrees the loss of the seniors will be important.

"They both had great years and they were able to provide the leadership we needed," Ruden said.

Ruden said even though they lost two good runners, they will be competitive again next year with the 
potential to be MIAA champions.

"We have the talent and we should do well as long as everyone is willing to train over the summer," 
Ruden said. "There's a big difference though from having talent and being able to use it."

Cochrane showed the same optimism, but he tried to keep things in perspective.

"We had several players on the team who were injured last year who should come back and make a big 
impact," Cochrane said. "But you just never know what can happen."

Trudging through a disappointing season

Bittersweet describes the '91-'92 men's basketball season. Even with seven returning seniors and a good 
start, the Bulldogs' dream of a Cinderella playoff berth was not to be.

Randy Brock, one of the returning seniors, thought the year could have been better if the Bulldogs, 11-
17 overall, had gained an opportunity for post-season play.

"I was really disappointed that we didn't get to go to the playoffs again this year," Brock said. "I wish we 
could have gone out with a better finish."

Despite the disappointment of not clinching a playoff bid, the 'Dogs were able to ignite some sparks 
when they beat the then number one ranked Ichabods of Washburn University (Topeka, Kan.).

The stands emptied as the fans rushed the court in Pershing Arena to congratulate the 'Dogs for beating 
the top-ranked team.

"It was the biggest crowd I have ever seen," Brock said.

A record 2,600 people came to watch the Bulldogs battle the Ichabods Feb. 1.

The first 20 minutes of the game showed the Bulldogs came ready to upset. With red-hot field goal 
shooting the 'Dogs quickly jumped into the lead ending with a 49-42 edge over the Ichabods at half-
time.

The 'Dogs got a tremendous boost from returning senior Boyd Printy who was injured earlier in the 
season.

Coach Willard Sims said losing Printy was one of the downsides of the season.
"He missed five or six games that we probably would have won," Sims said. "He was our leading scorer 
and one of our key players."

Printy left the starting line-up after he suffered a fracture to his back in the Jan. 11 game against 
Missouri-St. Louis.

Before his first game after the injury, Printy said he was nervous, but he was able to add 15 points off 
the bench to help the 'Dogs beat the Ichabods. His most important points came when he drew a foul 
with four seconds left in the game.

"Standing there at the line, I started thinking about not playing since my injury and not being at the free 
throw line in a while," Printy said.

Printy cashed in two free throws to give the 'Dogs a three point advantage over the Ichabods. The 'Dogs 
went on to win the close game 82-79.

Sims said the win over Washburn was just one bright spot in the 'Dogs' season.
"Of course, you go back to when we beat Washburn which was ranked one at the time," Sims said. "But 
then we beat Central Missouri at Central and then we beat Quincy both times, I think those are also 
highlights."

With the departure of the seven seniors, next year will be full of youth and excitement.

Freshman forward Scott Linnemeyer thinks the youth will help more than it will hurt.

"The new blood will make it an exciting season," Linnemeyer said.

Although the Bulldogs didn't meet all of their expectations this season, Sims thinks they can feel 
successful because of their hard work.

"Everybody played hard," Sims said. "If you play hard and give a supreme effort, you can't really ask for 
anybody to do much more than that."

Surviving a season of frustration and losses

After posting their first winning campaign in 10 years in '90-'91, the Lady Bulldogs were looking for even 
better things. What they found was frustration.

After losing five seniors, including four starters, the Lady 'Dogs hoped the team's youth would again be 
able to fastbreak them into the top half of the conference, but injuries and inexperience proved to be 
too much for the Lady 'Dogs. With up to 75 percent of the roster nursing injuries at one point during the 
season, the Lady 'Dogs at times just struggled to put a healthy team on the court.

"It was frustrating," Head Coach Lois Heeren said. "We had to put three of our five players on the court 
that had never really played on the collegiate level. The chemistry just wasn't there. We just didn't have 
the offensive punch like we've had the last two years."

Sophomore center Dara Scharf said the injuries kept the Lady 'Dogs from reaching their top potential, 
but the youth of the team also added to the frustrating losses.

"The injuries were frustrating and they put us back," Scharf said. "We got low on numbers. Our youth 
was frustrating too. We had to grow up against players that had been playing for four years. We were all 
new players and we had to learn to play together."

The Lady 'Dogs began the season with five straight losses, before opening the home campaign with the 
first win of the season, a 74-72 victory over Culver-Stockton, on a last-second shot by senior forward 
Shelley Picha. Unfortunately, the triumph was short-lived. The Lady Bulldogs absorbed five more 
setbacks before picking up their second win, over Missouri Western, 67-60, in the MIAA conference 
opener.

Despite several close encounters, including a 72-65 overtime loss to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville 
(which later forfeited the game) and a near upset of 10th ranked Washburn (Topeka, Kan.) 66-63, the 
winning combination eluded the Lady 'Dogs. The Lady Bulldogs were only able to pick up one more 
victory during the season, defeating Lincoln University (Jefferson City), 63-55 in Pershing Arena.

"The Washburn game was definitely the high point of our season," Scharf said. "They were ranked 
number 10 and no one thought we could beat them. We didn't, but we came really close."

Despite posting a 3-23 overall record and an 11th place conference finish, Scharf said the team tried to 
put each loss behind them and improve for the next game.

"I think that we pulled together as a team," Scharf said. "We tried to put the losses behind us and 
worked on the little things that went wrong in each game and hoped that the wins would come later. It 
was hard, but we tried to look beyond the losses."

Two seniors concluded their careers, Picha and senior guard Kathy Patterson. Both earned several single 
season and career records. But Heeren said their talent on the court was not their only contribution to 
the team. Picha and Patterson also helped provide leadership and mentor the younger players.

"I think they really nurtured the younger players along," Heeren said. "They provided leadership and 
worked hard. I had a great three years working together with them. They're good players, but also 
quality individuals who have a lot to offer."

Sticking together in a season of turmoil

Members of the men's swimming and diving squads at the University knew well that success did not 
hinge upon wins and losses, but rather on how individuals performed from day to day.

As in past seasons, the Bulldogs walked away from the season with a record well below .500, but still 
managed to keep team spirit alive and kicking.

The Bulldogs made some waves in the '91 -'92 campaign with a win against Washington University (St. 
Louis) early in their schedule. That win proved to be the only one for Northeast, tallying the team with a 
1-6 record.

"First of all, we don't get the scholarship money that our Division I competition does, but none of the 
schools we swam blew us out of the water," freshman Kevin Braamse said. "I think it shows a lot of 
dedication and hard work for these guys that come back year after year."

A big spark for the Bulldog squad came in its last competition of the year in Indianapolis, Ind. at the 
Mideast Classic Championships. Northeast swimmers bottled up a sixth-place finish in the 11-school 
meet, shattering six school records in the process.

"I think we did really well and as individuals just about everybody improved on their times," Braamse 
said. "We worked really hard all year long and I think we all feel we got what we deserved."

Freshman Bill McCormick quenched school records in the 100 and 200-breaststroke, while swimming a 
leg in two other record-breaking events, the 200 and 400 medley relays. Another Bulldog, junior Spencer 
Langley, shattered a school record in the 200-backstroke, swam a leg in both medleys, plus the sixth 
record-breaking event, the 400 free relay.

"I was very pleased with my times toward the end of the year and teamwise, we stayed together and 
finished the season with our heads held high," McCormick said. "We had nothing to look down upon."

Flead Coach Andy Johns was confident this squad could set several school records before the Bulldogs 
even left for the competition and the team did not disappoint him.

"With very few exceptions, everybody swam best times," Johns said. "I couldn't have written a better 
script than the way they swam."

Although the Bulldogs blazed toward the end of the season, they endured a rough mid-season blow 
when their coach for the '91-'92 season resigned due to personal problems. At that point, Johns, 
supervisor of the human performance laboratory and natatorium, took the coaching reins and guided 
the Bulldogs through the rest of the season.

"It was definitely a hard transition," McCormick said. "Practicing under one coach and then all of a 
sudden under another made it really tough because they were two completely different coaching 
styles."

On a positive note, the young Bulldog squad made even bigger strides in the diving department. Last 
year, the Bulldogs competed in every meet without divers, making it difficult to close the point gap with 
the competition.

With the bulk of the squad being underclassmen, the men's swimming and diving squads have a lot to 
look forward to next year, despite the lack of scholarships and the possibility of another coaching 
change.

Smashing records highlights season

The women's swimming and diving squads made big waves at the Mideast Classic Championships in 
Indianapolis, Ind., breaking eight school records and capping off a 2-3 season.

The Lady Bulldogs teeter-tottered with two Division I opponents, Eastern Illinois University (Charleston) 
and the University of Northern Iowa (Cedar Falls) throughout the championship's entirety. In the end, 
the Lady Bulldogs fell to EIU by a 12.5 point differential.

In the eight school meet, it was the second consecutive season the Lady Bulldogs landed a second-place 
finish behind Eastern. Head Coach Andy Johns said the women jumped out to a tremendous start on the 
first race of day one by capturing a school record in the 200 free relay.

"Everybody went into the meet not knowing what to expect," senior Susan Schumacher said. "We hadn't 
had a meet in almost a month because of cancellations. To see the relay team break a record early on 
really built our confidence."

Beyond that point, the Lady Bulldogs claimed seven more school records, four of which were first-place 
finishes.

"That really set the tone for the rest of the meet," Johns said. "The swimmers went into the meet with 
some hesitation, but after that, they started believing they were going to swim fast."

First-place finishers and school record-breakers for the Lady Bulldogs were junior Shannon Thomson 
(50-freestyle), freshman Robyn Mestemacker (100-backstroke) and junior Paula Adlersfluegel (200-
backstroke). The fourth first-place finish came out of the 400 medley relay team of Adlersfluegel, 
Schumacher, Thomson and senior Debbie Geison. That quartet of swimmers set not only a new 
University record, but a pool and meet record as well.

Capping off other broken records were members of the 200 medley and 400 free relay teams. Even with 
eight record-breaking times, the Lady Bulldogs couldn't close the gap with EIU. Last year in Indianapolis, 
EIU surpassed Northeast by a 40-point margin.

"We would have liked to have won, but we were really happy that we did as well as we did," 
Schumacher said. "Before the meet, Coach Johns handed out a goal sheet to all the swimmers and not 
only did we accomplish the ones he listed, we went way beyond them."

Besides great swimming performances, the diving team helped the Lady Bulldogs close the point gap. 
Last season, the team did not have any divers. Freshmen Nichole Quigley, Heather Check and Jennifer 
Miller led the way for the divers with fifth, sixth and 11th-place finishes respectively in the 3 meter 
competition.

Despite the turmoil of a coaching change in late December, the Lady Bulldogs still made progress.

"It was hard to adjust to yet another coach," Adlersfluegel said. "Especially for the people who had been 
on the team last year because that was the third coaching change in two years. Gradually, the situation 
got better and I think everybody eventually got past it."

Johns thinks the team will return to competition next year with a strong nucleus of swimmers, despite 
the loss of five seniors who made this year's relay teams so impressive.

Blazing a trail to All-American honors

The highest point total at an indoor national meet gave the 1991-92 men's track and field team 
something to smile about, while a third place finish at the conference meet brightened the women's 
season.

Senior Rob Jensen led the way for the Bulldogs at the national meet, finishing second in the 500 meter 
run in 14:35.28. Earlier in the season, Jensen had set a University indoor record with a time of 14:30.30.

Jensen, juniors Chadd Lamason and Kevin Long, and sophomore Brandon Truman garnered All-American 
honors. Lamason, Long and Truman each finished sixth in their respective events.

Men's Head Coach Ed Schneider said the high finish at the national meet was a great way to finish the 
season.

"Having five qualify for the national meet and having four out of five make All-American honors is just 
great," Schneider said. "It was the highest point total ever [for Northeast] for an indoor national meet. 
It's something to really build on going into the outdoor season."

The 'Dogs also turned in a strong third place finish in the MIAA conference meet with 86 points. Leading 
scorers in that meet were Lamason in the triple jump and junior Tracy Grant in the 600 yard run.

Going into the conference meet, Schneider said he thought the team could finish anywhere between 
first and fourth.

"Before we left I wrote down what I thought was a realistic point total and we wound up with exactly 
that total," Schneider said. "From that we did as well as I thought we would."

Jensen said he would like the success indoors to carry over into the outdoor season.

"We really competed well at nationals and I do think the thought of winning conference outdoors is a 
definite reality," Jensen said.

For the women's team, senior Michelle Coleman qualified for the national meet. Coleman qualified in 
the mile run and the 3,000 meter run. She opted to focus on the mile in hopes of obtaining All-American 
honors, but her ninth-place finish left her three places short of that goal.

Women's Head Coach John Cochrane said he thought Coleman could have run better at the national 
meet.

"She ran okay," Cochrane said. "She wasn't quite the tiger I would have liked her to have been, but she 
definitely didn't embarrass anybody."

The Lady Bulldogs finished third at the conference meet with 96 points. Leading the way with first-place 
finishes were junior Rhonda Ruden in the 1,000 meter run and the two-mile relay team consisting of 
freshmen Angela Burton, Paula Oldeg, Deborah Griffey and Jennifer Zid.

Cochrane said the indoor season was strange.

"It's been a season that anybody that can get hurt does get hurt," Cochrane said. "It's had a big effect on 
us. We did well in the [conference] meet, but we were short two or three people that would have made 
a difference for us."

Cochrane said the team was still relatively young and he was not sure what to expect from them in the 
future.

"We're in a year where we have a lot of young people and you never know what's going to happen," 
Cochrane said.

Rebuilding continues for young squad

Head Coach David Schutter didn't expect a great wrestling season. He had to red-shirt three of his best 
wrestlers and his starting lineup included up to eight freshmen and sophomores. But Schutter planned a 
rebuilding season.

"One word to sum up this season would be building," Schutter said. "I have a five-year plan and we're 
only in the second year of it. We also wrestled a lot of freshmen, traveled a lot and battled some of the 
top [NCAA] Division II and III schools in the entire nation."

The Bulldogs ended their season below .500 with a record of 5-13, finishing last out of six teams in their 
NCAA Division II Midwest regional. The Bulldogs did not send any wrestlers to nationals, but Schutter 
said his team has nothing to be ashamed of.

"If we had qualified someone [for nationals] it would have been kind of nice, but no one laid down," 
Schutter said. "Everyone wrestled hard."

Still, the season was not without several bright spots, like the team MVP, junior Bryant Gaines. Gaines, 
who wrestled in the 150-pound division, was only the second Bulldog to win over 30 matches in a 
season with a 31-15 mark.

Sophomore 158-pound Irving Ward, the first 'Dog to win more than 30 matches, finished this year at 22-
12-2. He finished third in his weight class after losing by one point to the weight class champion, who 
ended up finishing fourth in the nation. Ward ended up a third alternate to go to nationals.

"We had a couple of close matches that we lost," Ward said. "But we still wrestled really well."

Both Ward and Gaines said they would have liked to come through in a meet as big as regionals.

"It was kind of disappointing," Ward said."It's always tough when you lose a close match."

"I feel I could have done better," Gaines said. "I thought this was my year."

Schutter said the high points of the season were the two times they beat Central Missouri State 
University (Warrensburg), which ended up finishing 22nd in the nation.

The first victory came in their only home dual meet of the season, when they beat CMSU, Lindenwood 
College (St. Charles) and almost beat Southeast Missouri State University (Cape Girard-eau), a Division I 
school. The second victory occurred two months later when they traveled to Warrensburg without Ward 
or Gaines and had eight freshmen and sophomores in the lineup.

"We had to wrestle three Division I opponents with a couple of them ranked," Ward said. "They were 
really tough, but it is always good to wrestle against a tougher opponent."

Next year the 'Dogs will have 18 returning lettermen, three team MVPs, and 11 wrestlers who have had 
20-win seasons.

Needless to say, Ward said he was looking forward to the next few seasons.

"We had two guys who red shirted last year who were big powers," Ward said. "We didn't lose anyone 
[to graduation] so we're all pretty excited about the upcoming season."

"Next year will be a battle," Schutter said. "We're moving into what should be two good years back-to-
back for Bulldog wrestling."

Dying dynasty overshadows season

For the 1992 golf teams, it was a season of firsts.

For the men, it was the first time since 1983 they had not won the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic 
Association championships. It was also the first time since 1981 they didn't finish first or second. It was 
also the first time since 1984 the Bulldogs didn't participate in the NCAA Division II Championships.

For the women, it too was their first time since 1985 the team didn't compete in the NCAA Division II 
Championships.

The men, after eight years of reigning as MIAA champions, were obviously disappointed at the outcome 
of the season.

"It was kind of a downer," junior Kevin Fisher said. "We had had a pretty decent season and really hoped 
we could win it again."

Fisher thought the team might have lost their competitive edge.

"I think we just got too relaxed," Fisher said. "We expected to win again. Someone just snuck up on us 
and took our reign away."

That someone was the University of Missouri-St. Louis. They finished one stroke ahead of the second 
place team, Southwest Baptist University, with a score of 948. The Bulldogs finished third with a score of 
966.

Because of the Bulldogs' finish at the tournament, they didn't qualify for a trip to the NCAA Division II 
tournament.

Fisher said the teams needed some improvement if they wanted to return to their winning ways.

"It seems we need to get together as a team unit," Fisher said. "We played a lot as individuals and not as 
a team."

Fisher was quick to point out he thought the team would be back to the top next year.

"However, we should be more focused next year as we should be the underdog and not expected to win 
like we were last year."

On the surface, it might seem the women had a fairly disappointing spring season. They finished second 
to last in all three tournaments they participated in and weren't selected for the NCAA Divsion II 
Championships for the first time in six years. Yet their season had its share of highlights.

Two of the most prominent highlights were the performances of junior Karin Moore and freshman Julie 
Bettenhausen. They were two of five individuals selected to compete in the championships.

"I was really excited about being chosen," Bettenhausen said. "I thought I played really good for myself. 
My scores may not have been all that great, but considering it was my first time at nationals, I was really 
pleased."

Bettenhausen said that even though this season wasn't as good as they hoped, she was extremely 
optimistic about the upcoming campaign.

"We didn't do as well as we have in past years," Bettenhausen said. "But we're getting a lot of new 
recruits and hopefully we can pull together as a team and make it to the national championship."

One thing the Lady 'Dogs had going for them was the fact all of their players would be returning as this 
year's squad contained no seniors.

"That will be a major key for next season," Bettenhausen said. "If not for any other reason, we can make 
it to the national championships because of that. We will have all the more experienced players."

Optimism reigns despite losing season

The Lady Bulldog softball team won only eight games this year; the lowest number of wins in 14 
seasons. The team only played five of their 30 games at home.

Due to injuries mid-way through the season, they had to recruit junior Terri Hansel to pitch, even though 
she had never pitched before on the collegiate level. Sounds like the making of a pretty bad season. 
Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn't.

"I think we did really well considering all of the injuries and freshman we had this year," junior Anne 
Moe said.

"I think they did great," Hansel said. "They were playing really good ball. I mean, their record may not 
show it, but they did a really great job."

As Moe mentioned, one of the biggest problems the team faced was inexperienced players. The 16 
player roster contained no seniors, six juniors, five sophomores and five freshman. Also, of the 16 
players, eight of them were newcomers and had never played together before.

"In the beginning of the season, I don't think everybody was playing together," Hansel said. "Of course, 
with all of the freshman and newcomers, it was hard to play together as a team, but towards the end of 
the year, we really started playing well together."

Head Coach Dan Zimmer also pointed out the team's inexperience.

"I told the girls at the beginning of the season that we've got a pretty young team," Zimmer said. "We've 
got four or five freshman starting every game. I said that it was going to be rough and it would take us a 
while to adapt to Division II play.

At one point in the season, the Lady 'Dogs had a record of 3-15, but they were able to win five of their 
last 12 to finish at 8-22. The Lady Bulldogs had a MIAA north division record of 4-6, good for fifth place 
and eighth overall in the conference.

In addition to lack of experience, another problem which plagued the Lady 'Dogs was a lack of hitting. 
The Lady 'Dogs had a mere team .204 batting average and averaged under three runs a game.

However, Zimmer emphasized that injuries, especially those to their starting pitcher, hurt the team the 
most. Because of the injuries, Zimmer had to recruit Hansel.

"I had her in one of my classes, A and T of Softball, and I was showing everyone how to fast pitch," 
Zimmer said. "I saw her throwing the ball really well. I just remembered that and got a hold of her and 
asked if she would consider helping the team for the rest of the season."

Hansel said it took her a while to get used to pitching again.

"It was kind of hard until I got into the groove of things," Hansel said. "It definitely helped after I made it 
through that first inning."

Moe said that she was impressed with the job Hansel did.

"She did a great job," Moe said. "She came in and did what she felt she had to do. She caught a lot of 
teams off guard."

As for next year, the Lady 'Dogs were extremely optimistic.

"Next year, we will have more game experience," freshman Stacy Brazzle said. "We will know what to 
expect and there'll be more confidence in what we do."

"I think that if everyone comes back next year, this team will have the potential to really win some 
games," Hansel said.

Losing key player causes losing season

The baseball team started the season playing like the 1927 New York Yankees with a double-header 
sweep over Missouri Valley State College, which included a 19-run inning.

In fact, the Bulldogs won their first five games of the season and were a respectable 10-8 at the end of 
March. But all of a sudden, they started playing like the Bad News Bears.

First, the 'Dogs suffered a five game losing skid and more importantly, they lost their top player for the 
remainder of the season.

Sophomore outfielder Aaron Royster suffered a burst appendix after the Bulldogs had snapped their 
losing streak with a win over Missouri Western State College and missed the rest of the season.

"I don't know how we could have gotten any worse news," Head Coach Kirby Cannon said.

At the time, Royster was hitting .397 and was leading the team in most offensive categories, including 
runs batted in with 25 in his first 25 games.

After the injury to Royster, the team continued its three-week long road trip and struggled offensively, 
which led to a nine game losing streak in which they averaged only a run a game.

Junior catcher Kyle Shupe said the team was in need of leadership at the plate after the injury to 
Royster.

"We weren't getting the key hits with runners on base," Shupe said. "We really needed somebody to 
step forward and produce runs. All of our offense was coming with two outs."

Senior shortstop Joe Fondacaro said the problems were mostly mental.

"We just needed to start playing to win instead of playing not to lose," Fondacaro said.

Freshman catcher Paul Anderson said the team wasn't overly disappointed with the final results of the 
season, despite their losing record.

"We lost some really close games to some top-ranked teams," Anderson said. "Many of them could have 
easily gone either way."

Despite the fact that the Bulldogs struggled at the end of the season, there were many things that went 
right for the 'Dogs as well.

Because of youth, most of the lineup will be returning, but two seniors did have outstanding seasons for 
the Bulldogs. Fondacaro set a school record for assists and relief pitcher Shane Williams snared four 
saves, also a Northeast record.

Despite missing nearly half the season, Royster was named to the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic 
Association All-Conference first team and also to the All-North Division team. He was the first Bulldog 
baseball player to receive such honors since the 1988 season.

The pitching staff was led by strong performances from sophomores Eric Cappel and Chris Schupp, who 
both had earned run averages under four.

The 25-run game and 19-run inning on the first day of the season have not been equaled before and 
probably will not be equaled for some time.

With almost his entire lineup returning next season, Cannon said he saw hope for the future and was 
sure this team would be one to be reckoned with.

"I'm pretty satisfied," Cannon said. "Things are definitely getting better."

Dancing back to the bag, junior Bobby Fishbeck avoids being picked off. The Bulldogs endured their 
tenth consecutive losing season with a record of 16-26. Even though their record was 10 games under 
.500, they were only one win away from the school record for wins (photo by Shima Hayase)

Losing coach mars successful season

The men's tennis team began the year with a young lineup and expectations for a great season.

They finished with that great season and a top conference finish plus added experience to their youth, 
but were forced to search for a new head coach.

The 'Dogs started the season with a 7-2 win over the University of Missouri--Columbia, but didn't 
manage another win for three weeks after a tough trip to Southwest Baptist University (Bolivar, Mo.) 
and a tour in the South against some NCAA Division I schools.

After their sixth dual meet of the season, Head Coach Ramiro Azuci changed the doubles teams, which 
turned their doubles records and meet results around. Before the changes, the 'Dogs' combined doubles 
records were 6-12, but after the moves their respective doubles pairings played out to a 38-7 record.

Junior Todd Willing said the changes had a positive effect as it paired the best players together.

Another change which had a lasting effect on Willing and the team was the switch of Willing and 
freshman Barrett Bugg in the top two singles spots. Bugg responded well at the number one spot with a 
5-2 record, but more importantly, the switch helped Willing have a winning record the second half of 
the season and get out of an early slump.

"I was really slumping and he [Azuci] dropped me down to help my confidence," Willing said.

The 'Dogs finished where they expected in the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association Conference 
championships, third place behind Southwest Baptist and Washburn University (Topeka, Kan.).

Bugg, senior Rodney Chilton and sophomore Pat Fontana garnered third place finishes in their 
respective singles brackets and Chilton and Bugg lost their only doubles match of the season in the finals 
of the number three doubles bracket, good enough for second overall.

The number one doubles team of Willing and freshman Tim O'Neal also finished second in their bracket, 
which gave them a chance to go to the Division II Nationals with Bugg in singles.

Although neither was chosen by the national selection committee, Azuci said even the chance that they 
could have gone to the national tournament will make them hungrier next year.

Azuci was honored for the second year in a row with MIAA Coach of the Year honors, but said he shared 
the award with the team.

"I think my players and my assistant coaches' dedication and loyalty to me has definitely made me look 
good," Azuci said.

Bugg said he thinks Azuci's coaching made the biggest difference in the team's turnaround.

"He showed the whole team that the confidence had to be there before we could win," Bugg said. "I 
know he helped me and the whole team out a lot."

After the season, Azuci took the position of assistant women's coach at Indiana University 
(Bloomington), one of the top five Division I programs in the nation.

However, Azuci said the future was bright for Northeast tennis and next year, they should place higher 
in the tournament.

"I don't know if we'll compare with SBU because they have six full in-state scholarships and we have 
one, but I think we're on the same level as Washburn and we can beat them next season."

Playing far beyond all expectations

When Head Coach Ramiro Azuci found out he was losing his top three players from last year's team, he 
thought it was going to be a rebuilding year for the Lady Bulldogs.

Little did he know that a lineup which sometimes had freshman in the top four spots would only lose 
one Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association conference match, go 12-7 overall while winning ten 
matches in a row and finish a close third at the MIAA championships.

Azuci said he wasn't the only one surprised.

"Not only did they surprise me, but they surprised themselves as well,"
Azuci said. "It's the chemistry of the team. It was such a young, fresh team. Their energy on the court 
was great."

Leading the youth brigade were freshmen Christy Nicoll, Nikki Altepeter and Rachel Mestad, who often 
played the top three singles positions.

Nicoll had a successful 13-9 campaign against some of the top players in the NCAA Division II, including a 
couple of nationally ranked opponents she beat.

Nicoll said she enjoyed winning in a more team oriented concept in college.

"I was real excited to play from the start," Nicoll said. "It's different to win for a team than to just win for 
yourself."

Altepeter was thrown into the second spot after a back injury to sophomore Laura Hall.

Altepeter said she was stunned by her quick success.

"Everyone, especially us top freshman were surprised, because it's a lot different level of play from high 
school," Altepeter said.

Mestad started slow for the Lady 'Dogs and barely made the traveling squad in fall practices. But Azuci 
said she improved vastly in the spring. She was also named MIAA Player of the Week.

The Lady 'Dogs began the season slowly with a 1-3 mark before they rattled off the 10 wins in a row. The 
streak was stopped on a trip to Colorado to face top NCAA Division II Midwest Regional opponents when 
they lost 9-0 to Northern Colorado, the top ranked Division II team.

The women then finished their regular season on a positive note with a 5-4 win over Washburn 
University (Topeka, Kan.), who finished ahead of them in the conference championships.

The women then concluded their season with a third place finish at the MIAA Championships. Azuci said 
the Lady 'Dogs, Northwest, and Washburn were close together the entire tournament.

One of the key performances at the tournament came from sophomore Anne DeLargey, who won the 
number six singles bracket, despite only playing a few singles matches during the year.

Mestad and senior Sherry Banez grabbed first place in the number three doubles bracket, and they both 
won singles honors as well, with Mestad finishing second at the number three spot and Banez finishing 
third at number four. The top two doubles teams of Nicoll and Hall and Altepeter and DeLargey both 
finished third.

Azuci announced he would be leaving the Northeast coaching job next year in order to accept the 
assistant coaching job at Indiana University (Bloomington).

Altepeter said both the men's and women's teams wished Azuci the best.

"We were happy for him when he told us," Altepeter said. "It's the chance of a lifetime."

All-Americans lead teams to success

Despite their share of obstacles, which ranged from a young squad to lack of equipment to a rash of 
injuries, the men and women's outdoor track teams both enjoyed successful seasons and finished with 
strong performances at their conference meets.

The men's team finished fourth at their conference meet at Pittsburg State University (Kan.). However, 
junior Dave Killeen believed the team could have done much better.

"If we could have had all our guys, we could have easily taken second place,"
Killeen said.

Killeen said the team lost at least sixty points due to injuries to key performers such as junior Scott 
Beattie, junior Chadd Lamason and sophomore Brandon Truman.

"Losing Lamason was the worst," Killeen said. "He could have easily scored thirty points."

Lamason had sprained his ankle practicing the week before the meet. Heading into the meet, Lamason 
led the conference rankings in both the triple jump and the javelin.

Yet Head Coach Ed Schneider was pleased with the results.

"All the athletes gave 100 percent," Schneider said. "We scored as many points as we possibly could 
have."

The Bulldogs did have two athletes, Killeen and senior Rob Jensen, qualify for the Division II National 
Championships at Angelo State (Texas). Killeen qualified in the steeplechase and Jensen in the 5,000 and 
10,000 meter runs.

At the championships, both athletes won All-American honors for their performances. Killeen finished 
seventh in the steeplechase and Jensen finished sixth in the 10,000 meter run and tenth in the 5,000 
meter run.

"I mean, it's ridiculous. I couldn't even practice my event. It requires five obstacles and we only have 
two, one of which my father made for me."
~Junior Dave Killeen

Killeen said there was only one thing holding the team back from dominating the conference.

"We have to get more equipment," Killeen said. "I mean, it's ridiculous. I couldn't even practice my 
event. It requires five obstacles and we only have two, one of which my father made for me. We also 
don't even have a legal shotput to practice with."

Killeen said it really gave other teams an unfair advantage.

"We are competing against teams who practice on new tracks and here we are running in a mudbog," 
Killeen said.

The women also finished strong at the conference meet with a third place finish.

Head Coach John Cochrane was generally pleased with the team's performance.

"We had competed pretty well at the previous two meets," Cochrane said. "At this meet, there were 
two or three instances where we didn't perform well, but overall our performance was good."

Freshman Vicki Perez thought they did well at the conference meet.

"At conference, everybody had their best times all year," Perez said. "After that, at other individual 
meets, we really never reached those times again."

Perez topped the field in the discus throw which qualified her for a trip to the national championships. 
There she finished fourth and gained All-American honors.

However, despite the team's strong finish and success throughout the season, Perez said there was still 
room for improvement.

"At times, we really needed more intensity," Perez said. "Sometimes it seemed we were only running 
out there and not competing."

Surviving beatings, athlete reaches stardom

Many high school athletes dream of playing at the professional level. For Satako Miyamae, that dream 
became reality. However, unlike most professional athletes, the road there was a nightmare.

Miyamae played four years on one of Japan's eight major league volleyball teams, Ito-Yokado. She 
started all four years and was also one of 12 players selected to the Japanese national team. She was 
selected to the pre-Olympic squad in 1984. In high school, she was the team captain and lead the team 
to a national tournament championship.

However, despite her obvious talent and success, high school was a living hell for Miyamae.

As the team captain, the head coach held her responsible for all the team's mistakes and if anyone on 
the team made a mistake, the head coach would beat her.

"I would count the number of times I was being hit," she explained. "By the time I counted to five, my 
white uniform would be smeared with blood running down from my nose and mouth."

Miyamae said that normally at the end of practice, the beatings were so bad, the blood would have run 
down her legs and soaked through her underwear.

"Usually the first hit would be the most painful," she said. "Then after that hit, I didn't feel anything 
because of the numbness."

Miyamae said there were many reasons why she didn't just quit the team.

"If I quit playing volleyball, my team wouldn't have won nationally," Miyamae
said. "I had to think about the team and the entire high school, not just myself."

However, Miyamae said she kept playing for personal reasons as well.

"If I had quit on the way," she said, "I couldn't have played professionally and I wanted to accomplish 
something in high school. It had always been a dream of mine to play professionally."

Reporting the coach to school officials or the police also was not an alternative.

"I would have destroyed all the history of our high school," Miyamae said. "We have a very strong 
history in volleyball at the high school and that would have destroyed it. I never could have reported it."

After graduating from high school, Miyamae went on to play professionally before going to college.

"I was told that there was no guarantee he [the recruiter from Ito-Yokado] could come back to recruit 
me by the time I finished college," Miyamae said.

Volleyall was a major sport in Japan, almost as popular as football in the United States. Miyamae said a 
major league game could bring anywhere from 20 to 30 thousand fans to the arena. During the 
tournament season, the games would be nationally televised.

However, despite all the glamour and publicity that surrounded her as a professional athlete, Miyamae 
still never really enjoyed the sport.

"I didn't think of volleyball as a sport," she said. "Volleyball was my business."

Miyamae was quick to point out that despite the popularity of the sport in Japan, the players weren't 
paid nearly as much as professional athletes were in the United States.

"The best volleyball player would only make about $100,000 a year, never as much as baseball players 
here make."

Miyamae retired at the age of 22 to pursue academics. Miyamae hoped to go to college in another 
country, but at the time she hardly could speak English. Until her English improved, she took an assistant 
volleyball coaching job at the University of Calgary (Alberta).

Then in the fall of 1990, Miyamae arrived at Northeast to pursue a degree in business.

Miyamae chose Northeast because of its strong business program and its location. She would have liked 
to play for a Division I school, but due to National Collegiate Athletic Association regulations, she 
couldn't because she had played as a professional.

Her arrival at Northeast had an immediate positive effect.

Her first year, the team finished with a record of 34-10, the most wins in the school's history and more 
wins than the previous two years combined. Miyamae was voted Freshman of the Year.

Then last year Miyamae tore her Achilles tendon in the second game and was forced to miss the 
remainder of the season.

After a year of rehabilitation, Miyamae said she was excited about playing again.

"You can count on me being back next year."

selected to the 1984 pre-Olympic squad, (courtesy of Satako Miyamae)

Women fly, men cry during Winter Olympics

For the United States women, there were highlights abounding from the 1992 Winter Olympics in 
Albertville, France.

Bonnie Blair won two gold medals in speed skating events.

Figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi captured a gold and the hearts of Americans in the figure skating event.

The women captured six other medals, including two golds for a total of nine medals.

The men weren't quite as productive.

The men only won two medals, a silver for figure skater Paul Wylie and a bronze for freestyle skier 
Nelson Carmichael.

The USA hockey team, where dreams made up for a lack of talent, finished fourth after a scathing 6-1 
loss to the Czechoslovakia team in the medal round. However, the team's performance on ice might be 
overshadowed by what their head coach, Dave Peterson, did after the games. Peterson complained 
about the referees publicly and after a game with Sweden, he refused to accept the handshake of the 
Swedish coach.

The word in figure skating was that if Midori Ito, the Japanese jumping jack, didn't win the women's gold 
medal, Surya Bonaly, the French wonder, would. Instead, Kristi Yamaguchi combined athleticism with 
elegance and added a gold medal to her United States' titles.

Football star and bobsledder Herschel Walker was dumped from the United States sled just two days 
before the four-man bobsled competition. Walker was quoted as saying the event didn't "sour" him. 
Apparently, the move didn't help much as the team still finished a distant ninth. The Austrian team 
finished .02 seconds ahead of the German team and captured the first bobsled gold medal for their 
country.

Paul Wylie, the surprise silver medalist in figure skating, received the United States' Olympic Spirit 
award. It was a catch-all award, sponsored by Maxwell House, for such qualities as determination, 
performing beyond expectations and encouraging others. The first winner was speed skater Dan Jansen 
who was awarded it in 1988 when he competed at Calgary after the death of his sister. Greg Louganis 
won it for the summer games when he won two gold medals in diving after recovering from an accident 
in which he hit his head on the board.

On the local scene, the Midwest was well represented at the Olympics. Besides Bonnie Blair, a 
Champaign, Ill. native and two-time gold medal winner, the state of Missouri had its own less publicized 
medal winner. Nikki Ziegelmeyer, of Imperial, was a member of the women's 3,000 m relay team. The 
team finished in second place behind the Canadian team.

Outside of the U.S., Alberto "La Bomba" Tomba encountered a mild disappointment despite winning a 
gold and silver medal. The Italian skier won the giant slalom, but lost the slalom to Finn Christian Jagge. 
Jagge roadbloacked Tomba's joyride into the Olympic history book, preventing him from a repeat double 
gold at Calgary, where he won the slalom and giant slalom in the '88 Winter Olympics. Jagge also 
prevented him from becoming a holder of an unprecedented four gold medals in alpine skiing.

In hockey, the Unified Team, formerly the Soviet Union, won the gold, beating Canada and Eric Lindros 
by a score of 3-1. The game was scoreless until the third period when Viatcheslav Boutsaev scored one 
minute and one second into the period. Mikhail Shtalenkov turned away 20 shots for the win.

Sergei Ponomarenko and Marina Kilmova, also with the Unified Team, won a gold medal in the ice 
dancing event. Ponomarenko and Klimova won with sensuous, even steamy dancing and writhing to the 
music of Bach. When asked to compare their style to

silver medalists Paul and Isabelle Duchesnay of France, Ponomarenko said, "They could not skate like 
that. They are brother and sister. We are husband and wife."

Another Unified Team member in the headlines was Rasia Smetania. Two weeks before her 40th 
birthday, this Russian crosscountry skier won her 10th medal, a record, in her fifth Winter Olympics.

On a more solemn note, on the next-to-last day of the Olympics, a Swiss speed skier was killed when he 
crashed into a huge tractorlike machine used for grooming trails. Nicholas Bochatay was practicing on a 
public slope before his event was to begin. Bochatay, 27, was his country's best speed skier, a 
demonstration sport in which the competitors exceed 120 miles an hour.

Overall, Germany won the most medals with a total of 26, followed by the Unified Team with 23. It was 
the first time in 40 years the Germans competed as one team. The 1992 team was made up mostly of 
former East Germans, who won 20 of the country's medals. Former West Germans won four and the 
two sides have split two medals, both in biathlon relays. The Americans were sixth in the medal 
standings.

Historic World Series highlights semester of sports

September

-On the 6th, Jimmy Conners, 39, unseeded at the U.S. Open, defeated Paul Haarhuis in a marathon 
comeback match, much to the delight of more than 20,000 courtside fans and a national TV audience. 
The victory lifted him to the semi-finals, where his magical trip ended in defeat to eventual champion 
Jim Courier.
-Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, who was charged with rape in Indianapolis on the 9th, 
announced the next day his fight with Evander Holyfield was still a go. It would later be cancelled.
-The much awaited United States Olympic basketball team was announced on the 21st. The "dream 
team" consisted of: Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Chris Mullin, 
Magic Johnson, Scottie Pippen, John Stockton and, of course, Michael Jordan.

October

-The Atlanta Braves became the first National League team to finish in first place a year after finishing 
last with a victory over the Houston Astros coupled with a L.A. Dodgers' loss to the San Fransisco Giants 
on the 5th. The Minnesota Twins had become the first American League team to accomplish the feat 
earlier in the week.
-The first Monday Night Football game for the month was held on the 7th, pairing the Kansas City Chiefs 
against the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs destroyed the Bills 33-6, thanks in part to K.C. linebacker Derrick 
Thomas' four sacks and two forced fumbles of Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly.
-On the 27th, the Minnesota Twins defeated the Atlanta Braves 1-0 in game 7 of what has been called 
one of the greatest World Series of all time. Twins starting pitcher Jack Morris went all 10 innings to pick 
his second victory and become Most Valuable Player of the series.

November

-Magic Johnson made one of the most historic announcements in the history of the NBA on the 7th 
when he announced he was retiring from the NBA because he contracted the HIV virus which causes 
AIDS. In May, tennis star Arthur Ashe went public with the fact he too had contracted HIV.
-University of Kansas (Lawrence) running back Tony Sands ran for 396 yards and four touchdowns in the 
Jayhawks 53-29 victory against the University of Missouri-Columbia on the 23rd. The 396 yards was a 
new NCAA Division I record. It was the second time the record had been broken in the season and the 
fourth time in the past three years.

December

-For University students, payday was on the 10th. Bobby Bonilla's big payday came on the 10th of this 
month too. Baseball's premiere free-agent signed with the New York Mets for $29 million over five years 
to become the highest paid player in baseball history.
-The Mets general manager stayed busy as eight days after signing Bobby Bonilla, he traded for two-
time Cy Young Award winner Brett Saberhagen. The Mets traded Kevin McReynolds, Gregg Jeffries and 
Keith Miller for Saberhagen and Bill Pecota.

January

-History was made Jan. 1 in college football. With Miami's victory over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl and 
the Washington win over Michigan in the Rose Bowl, the teams both finished undefeated causing a 
dispute in the polls as to who was really number one. The AP poll voted Washington number one but 
UPI chose Miami as the top college football team.

Legends of the game get rich, convicted and retire

January

-On the morning of the 27th, boxing great Mike Tyson stood trial on charges that on July 19,1991, he 
raped a Miss Black America beauty pageant contestant. Sports Illustrated said that "Not since 1943, 
when actor Errol Flynn was tried on charges of statutory rape of two teenage girls, has an American 
entertainer of such magnitude been accused of so repugnant a crime." However, Flynn was acquitted 
and Tyson was found guilty and sentenced to six years in jail.

February

-February started off running, or passing as the case may be on the 2nd, as Mark Rypien powered the 
Washington Redskins to a 37-24 win over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI. The Redskin quarterback 
threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns. He was also awarded the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player 
award.
-One week after Mark Rypien dominated the football field, Magic Johnson dominated the basketball 
court. Johnson, who retired from the Los Angeles Lakers in November after testing postive for the virus 
that causes AIDS, captured the Most Valuable Player trophy at the NBA All-Star game. Johnson scored a 
game-high 25 points and finished with a flourish, besting rivals Isaah Thomas and Michael Jordan one-
on-one.

March

-"March Madness" was associated with the beginning of the NCAA basketball tournament, but some 
believed it began early this year, specifically on the 2nd when Ryne Sandberg of the Chicago Cubs was 
signed to a four-year contract paying him $28.4 million. The contract's annual average is $7.1 million a 
year, making Sandberg the highest paid player in major league baseball history. 
-The 10th marked the end of Bo Jackson's baseball season and possibly, his career. Jackson announced 
he had to undergo surgey on his left hip, which he injured in a football game Jan. 14, 1991.

April

-The 1st marked the first of the month and the first strike in the National Hockey League's 75-year 
history. The strike was approved by an overwhelming 560-4 vote by the players and postponed the 
playoffs until May when an agreement was reached.
-The 6th was opening day for Major League Baseball and included in the first games of the season was a 
couple of other noteworthy firsts. Forty-four thousand people watched the Baltimore Orioles blanket 
the Cleveland Indians by a score of 2-0 in the first game played at the new Orioles stadium in Camden 
Fields. In St. Louis, Bobby Bonilla hit his first, and second, home run for his new team, the New York 
Mets, as the Mets beat the Cards by a score of 4-2.
-The same night the baseball season began, the NCAA season ended with Duke winning its second 
consecutive national championship over the University of Michigan by the score of 71-51. Duke was led 
by a strong second half performance by senior star Christian Laettner.

May

-It took jockey Pat Day 10 tries, but he finally won the highly-prized Kentucky Derby. On the 2nd, Lil E. 
Tee won by one length over Casual Lies.
-Northeast's graduation was held on a solemn note when on Friday, the 8th, junior Aaron Berns died in 
an automobile accident. Berns, a wrestler at NMSU, compiled a record of 34-39-2 and competed in the 
1991 NCAA Division II Championships. He was the first NMSU wrestler to participate in the national 
tournament since 1982-1983.

People
Not Just Anyone

You -- a legend in your own mind. But what you see was not often what you got. With Northeast 
students you usually got more.

You didn't just settle for any answer, you researched, questioned, pondered and reached a conclusion 
because you didn't just settle for anything.

You didn't use the word "can't." Instead, you kept going despite the barriers that got in your way. No 
one was ever going to tell you to forget about it.

You didn't blend into the woodwork, you stuck out like a sore thumb because you were not just anyone 
-- you were someone. Someone who succeeded because they had what it took.

You did your own thing. Who wanted to settle for being someone you weren't? You prided yourself on 
being a thinker, a fighter, a comedian, a loyalist, a supporter, a leader and a follower because you were 
not just anyone -- you were you.

Diners serve memories

"I found I was far more drunk than I originally thought. Instead of writing three dollars on my check, I 
wrote three pancakes!"
~Senior Karrie Baak

Remember late-night studying with a Domino's pizza and two of your closest friends? Bogie's famous 
fries with a side order of Miller Lite? Eating Chinese at a cozy table for two on a first date?

Many students had a favorite memory from one of Kirksville's local restaurants.

"Some of my best memories are those nights or mornings with the gang at Pancake City or Country 
Kitchen when the bars were closed and the after bar parties were boring," junior Kathy Manning said.

Restaurants often served as more than just a place to eat. They became meeting or gathering places too.

"I can't tell you how many times I've had meetings for class projects at Bogies," senior Jera Bruce said. 
"It's really a nice place to just sit back and relax, have a few beers, get some food and talk about what 
you're going to do."

Students sometimes went to restaurants when they wanted to do something that was considered out of 
the ordinary. Senior Steven Halsey said Kirksville had a lot to offer.

"Kirksville can offer anything and everything from a greasy plastic covered pancake joint to a romantic 
dinner for two at the lake," Halsey said.

When alumni returned to Kirksville, often one of the first stops on their agenda was a restaurant or bar. 
Some say it was because they wanted to see if they still knew anyone. But most say it was like taking a 
trip down memory lane.

"When I think of all the times I went to the Spike for comedy night and Too Tails for dinner with all my 
friends, it brings back memories of what we did there and what we did afterwards," alumnus Scott Dent 
said. "Sometimes, even what we did before that made us wind up there,"

Students were creating memories daily at Kirksville restaurants.

"I think my best memory of college was when my boyfriend and I were eating at Minn's Cuisine," Bruce 
said. "He handed me a ring that you get from those bubble gum machines and asked me if I wanted to 
get married. I said sure. Later that evening I got my engagement ring."

Other students' memories were less romantic and more comical. Senior Karrie Baak recalled one of her 
favorite restaurant memories.

"After a night of sampling many beverages from a variety of Kirksville's local drinking establishments, a 
group of friends and I decided to finish off our drink fest with breakfast at the one and only Pancake 
City," Baak said. "We were our usual drunk, loud, obnoxious selves, as were the rest of the diners. When 
we finally went to pay the bill, I found I was far more drunk than I originally thought. Instead of writing 
three dollars on my check, I wrote three pancakes! The funniest part was that I didn't even get 
pancakes!"

Still other college students used the late-night restaurants for different purposes.

"We would have a huge test at 8:30 in the morning, but wouldn't start studying until midnight or even 
later," senior Diane Murphy said.

What's before the beep?

"We were getting some prank phone calls at the beginning of the year, so I made a 30-minute tape of 
me singing and playing the accordion." 
~Sophomore Michael Anderson

Answering machines used to be rather dull and functional, nothing more than sad little boxes full of 
transistors and wires. They patiently fielded calls with boring greetings like "I'm not home right now, but 
leave a message and I'll call back."

But lately, answering machine messages became a lot more interesting. Some students' messages were 
remarkable for their bluntness.

Senior Keith Kirchhoff's machine greeted callers with, "Tim and I aren't here right now, because we 
found something better to do."

As a stereo blared in the background, the machine said, "We'll get back to you, though, we always do."

Junior Tim Oliver, Kirchhoff's roommate, said they tried to make interesting greetings to rebel against all 
the boring ones they heard.

"We just usually turn on the stereo to make it more entertaining and whatnot," Oliver said.

Some students added life to their machines with impersonations.

"Hi, this is Casey Kasem," junior Travis Snelling's machine said. "This week's long-distance dedication is 
from a couple of college roommates. It reads, 'Dear Casey, each week we get millions of phone calls 
from our loved ones, especially with Valentine's Day, which is right around the corner. So could you 
please play, My Heart Beeps for You? Signed, Rick and Trav.' Well guys, I sure can." The message ended 
with a beep.

Senior Greg Suckow, who has used everything from George Carlin routines to the theme from Jeopardy 
on his machine, said variation was the key.

"We try to change the message every now and then," Suckow said. "Sound effects and recordings can 
enhance any answering machine."

Anyone calling Suckow might have heard a game show message.

"Hello, and thank you for calling the cartoon trivia hotline, where you can listen to the following cartoon 
theme," Suckow's machine said. "If you answer correctly, you are eligible to win hundreds of dollars in 
fabulous prizes. Thank you for playing, and here's the music."

The message ended with the theme from The Pink Panther.

Sophomore Michael Anderson used his answering machine as a defense against pranksters.

"We were getting some crank phone calls at the beginning of the year," Anderson said. "So I made a 30-
minute tape of me singing and playing the accordion. So anyone wanting to leave a message had to 
wade through all of this. Amazingly, some did."

Some answering machine messages were just plain weird. Senior Lori Nix used a segment from the MTV 
cartoon series Ren and Stimpy.

"Oh, my beloved ice cream bar," Nix's message screeched. "How I long to lick your creamy center!"

Whether or not interesting greetings improved the quality or quantity of messages left by callers, they 
made telecommunications more intriguing.

How would you react to a woman being elected president in the 1992 election?

"I would have no problem with that. As long as she is capable, I don't see a problem. Anyone that is 
capable of filling the position is fine by me."
-Freshman Johnny Hwang

"Of course, I would react positively, since I am a woman. I think a woman would do a good job and I 
hope that it happens someday."

woman is capable of handling the job."

The who in Who's Who

Senior Ann Melde felt funny when she nominated herself for the 1991 Who's Who in American Colleges 
and Universities. But when she was selected to receive the award, it was no laughing matter.

Melde received congratulatory letters from Vonnie Nichols, acting dean of student affairs, and Cheryl 
Grew-Gillen, director of the Campus Activities and Organizations Center.

The division of math and computer sciences showered attention on Melde and other students in the 
division who made Who's Who by hanging signs in Violette Hall congratulating them.

Forty Northeast students were chosen to be in Who's Who, a biographical volume which honors the 
most noteworthy students in higher education in America. Applicants from Northeast were carefully 
selected.

A committee made up of three faculty members and two staff members reviewed the 71 applications 
and selected students based on grade-point average, University and community activities, honors and 
awards, and essays.

"We don't count the number of organizations a person is in," Nichols said. "We look and see if the 
student has been a productive member."

Applicants wrote essays telling why they should be included in Who's Who and how their leadership 
roles benefitted them.

Senior Julie Nack wrote on her application, "I feel that by assuming leadership positions throughout my 
life, I have become a strong, well-adjusted person who in light of her limitations strives to make a 
difference in her corner of the world."

As students selected for Who's Who strove to make a difference outside their collegiate life, their career 
choices will decide how important the award was to them.

Senior Brent Krueger said he did not think being in the book would make a difference to professionals.

"It would be great for career directions that are more leadership oriented," said Krueger.

Terry Smith, dean of the colleges, said he thoughts employers held students who have been selected for 
Who's Who in high regard.

"A typical employer would look at that and see that person has significantly achieved and been 
recognized," Smith said.

Who's Who hoped employers weren't the only ones who recognized students' achievements. They sold 
copies of the book for $35 each and certificate plaques for $23. Students were not required to purchase 
either to have their biographies listed, but the company made a profit by selling books.

Melde said she hoped to eventually hang her certificate plaque on her office wall.

Krueger did not share Melde's enthusiasm about purchasing a book or plaque.

"If I get excited about seeing my name in print, I can go over to the library," Krueger said.

At home in Kirksville

For many students, graduation meant the long-awaited chance to leave Kirksville permanently. But for a 
few graduates, Kirksville became home.

Some graduates said they stayed in Kirksville because they found a job and could not find one 
elsewhere. The University often hired graduates.

Maureen Brusca, a 1991 graduate, worked in the Admissions Office. She liked her position because it 
gave her the chance to work with people.

"The job really appealed to me," Brusca said. "I'm always meeting new people and learning about 
them."

Brusca said being a graduate of the University helped her in her job.

"From my years as a student here, I picked up a lot of information," Brusca said. "I can pass that 
knowledge on to prospective students."

Bob Behnen, another 1991 graduate, remained in Kirksville because of a job offer. Behnen became the 
manager of annual giving for the University's Alumni Office.

"I think my position is interesting because I'm still at the University,"
Behnen said. "I work with alumni, so I stay in touch with a lot of my friends who are working in other 
cities."

Some graduates stayed in Kirksville for personal reasons. Chad Boore accepted a job as public relations 
coordinator for Kirksville Osteopathic Medical Center because his wife Danna had not yet completed her 
degree at NMSU.

"I graduated in December 1990 then did a semester internship in public relations at the University," 
Boore said. "Danna just graduated this May, so she's still deciding what to do with her degree."

After deciding to stay in Kirksville, graduates searched for new friends and hobbies.

"I feel like my age group is a minority in Kirksville," Brusca said. "I'm fortunate that I really love my job 
and the people I work with, because sometimes there isn't much else to do."

Behnen said he was content with the variety of activities offered in Kirksville.

"Some might find it hard to believe, but I find this an ideal place to live," Behnen said. "The University 
has cultural events like the Lyceum Series,and the surrounding area offers a lot of outdoor activities like 
hiking and fishing."

Some graduates said they could not imagine living anywhere other than Kirksville.

"I see no reason to move in the immediate future," Behnen said. "I'm satisfied with my situation here."

Others wondered what their future in Kirksville would hold. Brusca said she worried about becoming 
bored.

"I have friends who are undergraduates and will be graduating by the end of next year," Brusca said. 
"Things will be dull and lonely without them."

Boore said he and his wife might spend a few more years in Kirksville.

"It'll depend on how things work out for my wife," Boore said. "If she can't find a job here, we'll be ready 
to relocate. If she can find a good job here, we're in no hurry to leave. We certainly don't want to retire 
here by any means, but we wouldn't mind giving Kirksville another three or four years of our lives."

When should a family member be able to pull the plug on another family member's life support system?

"I think if the family member on the life support system is in serious pain and they are begging the 
person to put them out of their misery, then it is left up to the person."
-Freshman Erika Owens

"No matter how much suffering the person is going through, it is still murder if the plug is pulled before 
the person is dead."
-Sophomore Bobbi Finarty

"I think it should be left up to the whole family to decide, if the person on the life support system 
requests it. That is a tough decision to have to make."

Pets add human touch

Three cats, 17 mice, three hamsters, two gerbils, eight toads, two lizards and a fish residing in a dorm 
room. Sound impossible? Junior Kathy Henderson said it could be done.

"Whatever I found came home with me," Henderson said of her zoo.

For Henderson, the animal parade began after she rescued a stray cat in the Centennial parking lot and 
another at the La Plata train station.

The adverse reaction her RA displayed towards the cats prompted Henderson to buy a mouse. The 
creature, named Rambo, had a mission Henderson said. The mouse was to be placed under her RA's 
door. But, plans went awry and the mouse continued living under Henderson's bed.

Henderson said she knew of many people on campus who wanted pets.

"I don't think it was that big of a deal," Henderson said. "People whine, but as far as I'm concerned it's 
no problem to keep them and not get caught."

But what about raising a golden retriever in a dorm room? Certain "natural" things seemed to make it 
impossible, right? Not according to senior Brenda Cupp.

Cupp's third roommate was her dog Alex.

"Alex was well-behaved and everybody loved her so nobody told," Cupp said.

Cupp said she didn't plan for Alex to stay in the dorm for her entire freshman year.

"She was my dog back home," Cupp said. " My boyfriend gave her to me. She came up for the weekend 
and it turned into the semester," Cupp said.

It was a quiet semester after Cupp trained her dog not to bark.

"It's just training," Cupp said. "If an animal is well-mannered and house-broken it's no problem."

Many students thought pets added a touch of home to college life.

"Pets made it more homey, not just for me, but for my roommate, my suitemate and for the people in 
the hall," Cupp said.

Senior Jenny Kotchi was one unfortunate pet owners who felt the difficulties of breaking ties with their 
pets. She was separated from her dog, Pepper.

"She is more like a buddy," Kotschi said. "I totally spoil her."

But Kotschi had mementos to help her remember Pepper. Kotschi's wall was adorned with a poster-size 
photograph of Pepper. She had hundreds of other photos including printed photo Christmas cards.

Kotschi said when she was lonely and missed her dog, a cassette tape replayed Pepper's barks. When 
this was not enough, a call home connected the two friends on the speaker phone.

Only one problem prevented Pepper from being with Kotschi.

"She can't go in the car because she gets carsick or else she would be here," Kotschi said.

Animals provided companionship and made college life seem more like home. Students might have to 
sneak pets past RAs and landlords, but many felt it was worth the hassle.

Neatness doesn't count

Everybody was different. Each person has their own walk, talk, looks and thoughts. Even when it came to 
how people keep their rooms, there were various degrees of neat and sloppy.

Surveys and lots of questions revealed four types of neatness personalities. The Type One personality 
was the neat-freak. These people kept everything neat all of the time. Type Two personalities or Half-
and-Halfers kept some things tidy and other things a mess. Jekyll and Hyde or the Type Three 
personality, kept things not so neat. Finally, the Type Four personalities were the permanent slobs.

Junior Kevin Hingle said he considered himself a Type One personality.

"My mom always drilled into me to keep everything in order," Hingle said. "I was basically just raised this 
way."

Junior K.C. Conaway and sophomore Todd Andrews roomed together and said they had characteristics 
of the Half-and-Halfer personality.

"I keep all my books and studies in order," Andrews said. "But I get tired
of my room being neat."

Andrews said his habits worsened since he started college.

"I've gotten messier, probably because my mom isn't here to clean up," Andrews said.

Tidy sophomore Stacy Sevcik said she also thought guys were messier due to their mothers' absence.

"Women learn from their mothers to pick up," Sevcik said. "Guys just kind of expect mom to do it for 
them."

Sophomore Jason Koltz and junior Rich Pickett said they were perfect Jekyll and Hydes. Pickett said 
activities and classes were the main factors for their neatness type.

"There's some times you just don't have the time to put in to keeping everything the way you want to 
have it," Pickett said.

Junior Kathy Fondacaro said she claimed the title of slob.

"Let's just say cleanliness is not a primary concern," Fondacaro said.

Fondacaro said sorority activities and homework prevented her from having an immaculate apartment.

"A lot of the time I throw my stuff on my bed and don't really worry about it," Fondacaro said. "But 
when I get home at night, I look at it and don't feel like putting it away, so I either crawl underneath it or 
sleep on the couch."

Despite the college student's freedom, parents could still influence their offspring's habits, at least 
temporarily, through their visits to campus.

"I think that's about the only time I ever make the place look nice," Fondacaro said.

Koltz said he had more immediate reasons for cleaning when his parents came to visit.

Facing summer's silence

As spring blossomed in Kirksville, many students dreamed of graduation or taking that last final so they 
could leave town. Other however, settled in for the long Kirksville summer.

Many students stayed to take required classes to graduate sooner. But some students looked forward to 
spending their summer here.

"I stayed up here the summer after my freshman year because my boyfriend was graduating in August 
and we wanted to spend time together," senior Cathy Wilson said. "I had a really good time that 
summer, so I came back for more every year."

Wilson said spending the summer in Kirksville helped her meet people.

"During the year, it seems like everyone's set in their little cliques or hangs around with the people they 
live with," Wilson said.

Wilson said she often met people by taking summer classes.

"The classes, the five-week ones especially, are so condensed," Wilson said. "Three-credit classes meet 
two hours a day, so you're with these people a lot. You just naturally start talking."

Taking summer classes also gave Wilson the opportunity to enroll in classes that did not fit her schedule 
during the year.

"I'm a business major who loves art and literature classes," Wilson said. "I've tried taking them during 
the regular year, but they end up getting shoved aside in favor of all the stuff I have to do for my major 
classes."

Students found that campus facilities and local recreation areas were less crowded during the summer. 
Junior Charlie Keisinger spent two summers in Kirksville for this reason.

"I like the summer because it's a much more relaxed atmosphere," Keisinger said. "There aren't as many 
people here and you have time for things you've always wanted to do."

Keisinger used his extra time to participate in outdoor activities.

"My girlfriend and I went to the lake a lot last summer," Keisinger said. "We also went hiking together. 
Since we're both from Chicago, we probably wouldn't have gotten to do those things as much if we went 
home."

Sophomore Cindy Miller used her spare time during the summer to catch up on her reading.

"There's not that many people studying in Pickler, so I sit in there and read for hours at a time," Miller 
said.

Miller also explored downtown Kirksville for the first time last summer.

"My roommate and I spent the day walking around the square," Miller said. "It's really neat down there 
because all the shops are so distinctive. Each one has a mood and atmosphere of its own."

Although she enjoyed summer in Kirksville, Miller said it might not be for everyone.

"If you're the type of person who hates silence, you'll go crazy," Miller said." It gets awfully quiet 
sometimes."

For some students, a bustling city might seem like the best place to spend the summer. But if you're 
ready for a change of pace, stick around. Kirksville might surprise you.

How do you think the defeat of Proposition B will affect the students at Northeast?

Students hit the road

Monotonous weeks of attending classes, writing endless papers and taking impossible tests often left 
students feeling like they had just been run over by a truck. To preserve their sanity, some students 
jumped in their cars and headed down the highway for parts unknown.

"I usually go on roadtrips to get out of Kirksville, for a change of pace, and as an escape from boredom," 
sophomore Rani Chohan said. "Even a change of scenery can help."

Some students roadtripped to go shopping. Because it was close to Kirksville, the Columbia Mall became 
a popular destination for shoppers who were tired of browsing through Wal-mart or Maurice's.

"Shopping options here in Kirksville are incredibly limited," junior Jennifer Kelly said. "My roommate and 
I go to the mall in Columbia at least once a month or so. We keep telling ourselves we're going to go to 
the library down there to study and check out stuff for research papers, but we end up spending an hour 
or two there at the most. Then we head for the mall and fill up our charge cards with new clothes."

Roadtrips also provided an opportunity to visit friends and relatives. Senior Mark Anderson drove to 
Southwest Missouri State University (Springfield) to visit his girlfriend at least once a month.

"I planned out most of my visits a few weeks in advance," Anderson said. "But one night I got a few 
friends together and drove down to Springfield on the spur of the moment. It was great to be able to 
suprise her like that."

In some cases, the destination was unimportant. For those who were bored with their daily lives, 
roadtrips were a chance to explore unchartered terrain.

"We don't even know where we're going half the time--just get in the truck and get the hell out of here," 
said junior Michael Kendell. "The only problem is that you get lost that way sometimes."

Kelly also found that getting lost was an occasional problem.

"Two of my friends and I were driving around aimlessly at about 2 a.m." Kelly said. "Each of us thought 
the others knew where we were, so it took us forever to realize we were lost."

Some spontaneous roadtrips took on epic proportions. Senior Matt Gordon roadtripped to New Orleans 
on a whim.

"Some friends and I got bored and I jokingly said 'why don't we go to New Orleans?"' Gordon said." I 
didn't really think we would go, but we wound up in New Orleans. We got lost on the way back because 
someone said they knew a short cut home, but it was fun."

Despite minor mishaps, most students agreed that roadtripping was an enjoyable experience.

"When you have no clue where you are, you get really panicked sometimes or start fighting with the 
people you're with," Kelly said. "But you all look back on it later and laugh and you end up going 
together again."

Rather than yielding to the constant pressures of university life, students continued to seek comfort on 
the open road. As long as there was a full tank of gas, there was always a way to escape.

What do you think about AIDS activists protesting in busy department stores?

Country gains attention

While moving into Dobson Hall during Freshman Week, Mark Kendell was surprised to hear country 
music star Randy Travis' song "Together Forever" blaring from the room next door. Country music 
gained popularity in recent years, especially among college students.

"One thing I noticed in my first weeks at this school was just how many people up here are into country 
music," Kendell said.

Senior Chris Bowman noticed country music's rising status while working in a record store over winter 
break.

"We used to just have older customers coming in for country tapes, but over Christmas a lot of people in 
their teens and twenties were buying them," Bowman said.

Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity had a spring party with a country music theme. Senior Chris Vander Pluym, 
a member of the fraternity, said many of its members were surprised at the party's popularity.

"There's a group of about seven or eight guys in the fraternity who listen
to nothing but country," Vander Pluym said. "Most of the other guys are like me. We don't listen to 
country constantly, but there are a few songs we get into. We weren't really sure how a country theme 
would go over, but we figured we'd just give it a try."

Vander Pluym estimated about 250 or 300 people attended the party.

"It wasn't our biggest party of the year, but it was one of the bigger ones," Vander Pluym said.

Sophomore Shelly Jones, an avid country music fan, said she attended and enjoyed the party.

"I usually don't get into the party scene up here because I listen to mostly country music," Jones said. 
"The TKE party was a welcome change."

Jones attributed increased interest in country music to trends in society.

"I think people are moving toward a more simplistic society," Jones said. "For a while, we were going 
toward anything high-tech, but that's gotten really impersonal. Now we want things to be simpler and 
more natural."

Jones said she thought country music reflected these simpler ideals.

"A lot of the songs are about just being yourself and living the simple life and not making a big deal 
about everything," Jones said. "I think that's a good message for people to hear."

Although country music's image improved, many students wondered whether it would continue to be 
popular in the future.

"I love country, so I'd like to think it will stay around," Jones said. "But I guess people will get bored with 
it like they do with everything else and it'll become just another fad."

Some students disagreed. Bowman thought country music's popularity among students would continue 
to increase.

"Once people are exposed to this type of music, they develop favorite stars and groups and start 
following the country music scene more closely," Bowman said. "They will play it for their friends, which 
will mean more exposure and popularity in the long run."

What are your thoughts about the construction of the library taking so long to complete?

Weddings bring change

Picture your life as a college student: roommate disputes, classes, Ramen noodles, homework....

Now, somewhere in the middle of that, picture yourself getting married.

The only time some students thought of marriage was to avoid it. Others might have expected to meet 
"the one" at some point in their college careers.

Twenty years ago, getting married between the ages of 18-22 was the social norm. However, society 
began supporting the individually of the bachelor and the independent woman. Despite changing times, 
there has remained a constant force to draw people together -- love.

After Deborah met Bruce at the Homecoming dance her freshman year, it took one week of dating to 
know he was the one for her. That summer they got engaged. The following summer, they became Mr. 
and Mrs. Rutherfurd.

The Rutherfurds said being married had little effect on their academic performance.

"I spend less time studying, but I'm able to keep my grades up," Deborah said. "I want to spend more 
time with him, so we just study at home and be together."

Before marrying in August 1991, Chad and Danna Boore passed numerous tests of love like summers 
and holidays spent 600 miles apart, internships and part-time and full-time jobs.

Before their marriage, they dated for three years and since then have been taken by a few surprises.

"I didn't realize how picky of an eater she is," Chad said. "I eat anything in front of me, but if she can't 
identify the ingredients she won't touch it."

Danna said she was surprised at the change in people's attitudes toward them as a married couple.

"When we were just dating, everyone in our family treated us like kids," Danna said. "As soon as we got 
married, they treated us like adults."

When Jason and Laura Cruse met almost two years ago, he was a Mormon who had returned from living 
in France for three years and she was a freshman from a Catholic family.

As Mr. and Mrs. Cruse, Jason became a gourmet French cook and Laura became a Mormon.

Their engagement was good news, except to Laura's parents who disapproved of Jason and his different 
religious practices.

"It was some concern for us, but it didn't slow us down," Jason said.

A big change for Laura and Jason was moving in together, since both previously lived in residence halls 
as peer advisers.

"At first it was a distraction," Laura said. "But it's really helping my academic life to have a steady 
schedule."

When it came to socializing, this married couple hadn't forgotten they were still college students.

"He takes me out on dates and we spend time with our friends," Laura said.

So for those whose images of walking down the aisle were frightening or the thought of spending the 
rest of your life with the same person bored you to tears... relax.

Veterans lives change

The August guns blazed again in 1990. Iraqi President Saddam Hussein ordered his troops to invade 
Kuwait. The Persian Gulf War had begun. A United Nations resolution, secured by President George 
Bush, authorized military force to oust the half-million Iraqi troops if Hussein had not withdrawn them 
by Jan. 15. That day came and went, and the Iraqi troops were still in Kuwait, so by Jan. 16, the United 
States forces had offically gone to war.

Twenty-four of the 600,000 American military personnel involved in "Operation Desert Storm" came 
from Northeast. Many of them had to make major adjustments when they returned to civilian life.

Sophomore Michael Smith's freshman year was interrupted when his Army Reserve unit was called to 
active duty in mid-December. Smith eventually served as an operating room technician in the 148th 
Evacuation Hospital located in Saudi Arabia.

Smith said after he returned from the war, he became much more involved in campus organizations, 
primarily because of the boredom he felt during his off-duty hours in Saudi Arabia.

"There were many hours of dead time--we could do practically nothing," Smith said. "The radio overseas 
was very different. It's basically a big propaganda for the U.S. military over there."

Smith said being awakened by at least six SCUD missile warnings during the night every night made him 
realize the importance of living his life to the fullest.

"Life is too short to just blow off," Smith said. "There were a lot of times, especially at the beginning, 
when I didn't know if I was ever going to make it back."

Keith Pavlischek, a philosophy and religion instructor, was called to active duty the Sunday after 
Thanksgiving. Leaving behind his wife and three small children, he joined the 24th Marine Regiment in 
Port AI Jubail, Saudi Arabia, where he served as an intelligence officer holding the rank of major.

"It's an experience I'll never forget," Pavlischek said. "It's not something I would want to do again, 
necessarily, but I would if I had to."

Pavlischek's wife, Nancy, said the hardest part for her was the uncertainty of not knowing where her 
husband was stationed or what his role was in "the scheme of things."

"You learn that you can do more than you thought you could and you can adjust a lot," Nancy Pavlischek 
said.

Graduate student Corey Lesseig served under Major Pavlischek in AI Jubail. Lesseig said his biggest 
concern was that he would not get home in time for the birth of his second daughter. Lesseig said the 
war did not change his life much.

"When you first come back, there's this sense that this had to change your life, but I don't really perceive 
it," Lesseig said.

What do you think about distributing Bibles in schools?

"It would depend on who is distributing them. I guess it would be okay as long as they didn't make 
people feel like they had to take one."
-Sophomore Jennifer Combs

"No, because that is pressuring the students to make a decision about religion. It shouldn't be advertised 
like that."
-Freshman Sherri Grueninger

"I think it would be a good thing as long as they weren't forced on people. Some religious groups tend to 
be a little bit pushy and choosing a religion should be left up to the individual."

Gala seeks acceptance

More and more homosexuals were "coming out" and many heterosexuals accepted them. New 
openness gave the gay rights movement new momentum. Consequently, homosexuals founded 
organizations to fill the needs of homosexuals in society. One such organization, the Gay and Lesbian 
Alliance, or GALA, celebrated its first anniversary in Kirksville.

The formation of NEMOGALA provided students, faculty and community members with various 
opportunities. NEMOGALA held several dances at Theta Psi, picnics at Thousand Hills State Park and 
parties in private homes. These activities helped open up the homosexual peer group in Kirksville, which 
many gay students thought was too small.

"Kirksville is a lonely place to be if you're gay," Mary*, a lesbian junior said.

GALA members met frequently to encourage education in the community about both sex in general and 
about homosexuality. Several members also wrote letters to their senators and representatives.

GALA held workshops for PAs and RAs on how to deal with homophobia and homosexuality in the 
dorms.

Students often had to deal with homophobia on campus. Many homosexuals were afraid if they "came 
out" to other students, they would meet with hatred, violence and exclusion.

"It's terrible because this university is really closed-minded, in spite of the fact that this is considered a 
liberal university," Bill*, a gay senior, said.

Mary said she wanted people to know that homosexuality was normal.

"We're not people to be afraid of," she said. "You'd be surprised to know how many of your friends are 
gay and scared to death to tell you."

Other homosexual students said they didn't feel much homophobia on this campus.

"People aren't as homophobic as they seem," freshman John Mersch said. "A girl I had seen at a GALA 
dance told my entire hall that I'm gay. No one gave me any trouble at all."

Sophomore Jennifer Wolff took an open approach toward homosexuality.

"Sex is often defined as the ultimate expression of love," Wolff said. "So why would it be strange to 
express ultimate love to both sexes?"

Wolff said that although she was not homosexual, even talking about homosexuality scared some 
people.

"I've never engaged in homosexual acts, but I will confess that I've thought of it before," Wolff said. 
"Does that make me bisexual? I don't think so, but that doesn't rule out any actions in the future. Words 
like that scare people these days."

Despite open-minded views like Wolff's, negative feelings toward homosexuals persisted on campus.

"It's just not... acceptable -- it's not politically correct," junior Jeff Otto said.

Homosexuals, like any minority group, found dissension and opposition, but GALA hoped recognition of 
diversity could bring a new sense of acceptance.

Show spotlights talent

From painting to photography, this spring's senior art show presented a wide range of work. Eight 
graduating seniors presented their art at the show.

Shirley Robinson, director of the art gallery, said the art at the show included both studio art and visual 
communications majors.

"The visual communications work differs from what the art majors do in that it is more commercially 
oriented," Robinson said.

The show and the work presented there were the pre-graduation capstone experience for the seniors 
involved. The seniors displayed work they had done over the course of the semester and earned 
between three and six hours of credit for their efforts.

The students also planned the show and organized publicity for it themselves. Robinson said the eight 
students worked well together.

"There are always a few communication problems, but things went smoothly as a whole," Robinson said.

Having the shows allowed students and faculty from other divisions to get a closer look at works they 
might otherwise never see.

"I think it's a good thing for the campus," Robinson said. "A lot of hard work goes on and these 
graduating seniors deserve recognition."

Senior Lori Nix presented her photography at the show. Nix said the posters publicized the show 
effectively and the show was well-attended.

"I think we had between 200 and 300 people just the first night," Nix said. "I think it helps that the 
gallery is in Ophelia Parrish. There are a lot of classes there, which keeps people in touch with what's 
going on."

Nix said it was hard to select a favorite work from the ones she presented.

"A lot of work went into everything," Nix said. "I think I was most proud of a series of female nudes 
illuminated by a projector. The interplay between the light and the photographs produces a really 
unique effect."

Senior Paul Kangas also displayed his work at the show. He described his painting technique as "airbrush 
photorealism."

"I'm a realist with a lot of romantic drives behind my work," Kangas said. "I try to capture emotion in my 
pieces, but I also focus on showing the minute details of everything."

Kangas said he was proudest of his piece "Well Spent Pennies at Reheboth." Kangas estimated he had 
spent over 120 hours to complete it.

"Unless you've actually attempted something like this, there's no way of understanding all the work and 
effort that goes into it," Kangas said.

Kangas said his art had been influenced by the old masters like Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo and 
Grunewald, the Gothic artist.

"I admire Grunewald for his attention to minute detail," Kangas said." I like works like that where you 
have to look really close to catch everything."

With the variety of works offered at this year's show, visitors to the art gallery might not have been able 
to catch everything. But for eight artists, the senior exhibition provided a moment in the spotlight.

Dorms offer sex option

With a plan to introduce additional coed housing, the University attempted to modernize on-campus 
living and promote equality and understanding between men and women.

The Board of Governors approved a policy giving President Warren the authority to implement coed 
housing by a 5-1 vote. The September decision resolved an 18-year conflict between Student Senate and 
administrative officials.

The coed housing committee decided Centennial and Blanton/Nason halls would become coed by suite 
and Missouri Hall would become coed by wing. Blanton/Nason Hall formerly housed men and women 
on separate floors and was the only coed hall on campus.

"This is definitely an idea whose time has come," Jason Haxton, director of residential living, said.

Haxton said Stanford University, the first university in the nation to offer coed housing, did so in the late 
1950s.

"Studies done at these schools show coed housing helps men and women
treat each other as equals," Haxton said.

But some students thought coed housing would create more problems than it would solve. Junior 
Jennifer Kelly said she thought residents' study habits would suffer.

"I think coed housing is great for upperclassmen, but not for freshmen," Kelly said. "It might be a good 
social experience to have the opposite sex living next door, but it would also be a big distraction."

Some students saw the conversion to coed housing as an inconvenience. Centennial Hall director Cindy 
Jones said she had heard complaints from a few residents.

"Some of the women were upset because their rooms were going to be men's rooms in the fall," Jones 
said. "Residential Living has been able to take care of most of the people who complained."

Haxton agreed the process had gone more smoothly than expected.

"My office has gotten only four written complaints since January. I talked to each of the parents 
personally and by the end of the conversation, they had withdrawn their initial objections," Haxton said.

Freshman James Wells thought the University would have to invest excessive amounts of time and 
money to make Missouri Hall suitable for women.

"I lived in Missouri Hall last year and I thought some of the facilities, like community showers, were 
annoying," Wells said.

Haxton said there would only be minor changes in Missouri Hall. The renovations would cost less than 
$150,000.

"If Missouri Hall seems unfit for women, it's only because we've pampered women in the past by always 
giving them suite bathrooms, which has been really unfair to the men," Haxton said.

The Residential Living office planned to survey residents after coed housing had been in place for one 
year.

"This first year is sort of a trial," Haxton said. "We'll see where we need to go from here, but coed 
housing is definitely and finally, here to stay."

How many hours a week do you study and why isn't it more?

"I'd say about twenty-five hours per week. I can't afford to study any less because my grades would drop 
and I can't afford to study any more because I have practice."
~Sophomore Tamara Newland

"A little bit every night. It varies sometimes, though. It depends on what I have to get done."
~Sophomore Julie Patterson

"I would say at least six times a week. I have good study habits and good grades and I want to keep it 
that way."
~Senior David Strzyzynski

What kinds of things do you find yourself doing other than studying?

"I find myself going out with friends or watching TV. Usually being with my friends keeps my mind off of 
studying."
~Sophomore Roger Nickell

"Definitely working. I work out at KRXL. I also play volleyball in a league."
~Sophomore John Roling

"I like to listen to music or play cards in the dorms. I also go to the Student Union a lot and play air 
hockey. I guess I can find a lot to do instead of studying."

Gaining global perspective

From Costa Rica to Quebec, from Germany to Japan, Northeast offered study opportunities around the 
world. Students whose parents only dreamed about traveling to foreign countries could visit, learn 
about and live in another culture.

For two and half years, Patrick Lecaque, associate professor of French, was the chairman of the Study 
Abroad Committee and for the past year, he served as the Study Abroad Coordinator for the University.

Northeast offered a broad range of programs in places such as England, Germany, France, Spain, Taiwan 
and the former Soviet Union. A business summer program gave students a chance to visit several 
countries in Europe. Northeast also belonged to the College Consortium for International Studies (CCIS). 
CCIS offered 18 programs in 13 countries including Spain, France, Mexico, Ecuador, Ireland, Scotland and 
Israel.

Through the Study Abroad program, students had opportunities to broaden their education, develop a 
global perspective and expand their career opportunities. Eligibility and requirements varied from one 
program to another, but most required a minimum 2.5 GPA.

Some students compared their experiences abroad with their experiences in their home town. Senior 
Michelle McClintlock compared her semester in France with her native life in St. Louis.

"In Paris we could walk around at night with a friend, something I wouldn't do in St. Louis," McClintlock 
said. "I felt more comfortable because their crime rate is not even close to ours."

Students could participate in a number of programs which varied in length from three weeks to a full 
year. While studying abroad, students could earn anywhere between 6-15 college credit hours.

The cost of the programs ranged from $l,000-$7,000 and depended on the length of the term and 
program chosen. The cost usually included transportation and room and board, but most often the 
summer programs did not include any tuition costs for summer classes.

"The most popular programs are summer programs led by Northeast faculty," Lecaque said. "The most 
popular semester programs are the France and Spain semesters through CCIS and the Missouri London 
program through Northeast."

Some students, like junior Angela Clark, who studied in Quebec last summer, chose to enhance their 
learning opportunities by living with a host family in the prospective country. Clark said it helped her 
studies because it allowed her to obtain help within the home.

"It's kind of like having tutors at home," Clark said. "They want to practice their English and you want to 
practice your French, so you help each other."

Despite the cost, students found international study a worthwhile investment. No matter which 
program a student chose, he or she encountered new cultural experiences.

How should the U.S. handle the retrieval of hostages?

Greeks
Living the Legend

Animal House -- the legendary film depicting Greek life. But Greek life on this campus underwent a 
facelift. You changed your lifestyle and your image.

Fraternity and sorority social life no longer meant late night keggers with music blasting until dawn. 
Now, you gave up your keys when you entered the door and no longer encouraged drinking until you 
dropped. Instead, you encouraged drinking responsibly and discouraged drinking and driving.

You frowned on hazing. The days of humiliating your pledges through silly pranks and games were over. 
Instead, you focused on serving your community and becoming a positive force on campus.

Of course, you still lived the legendary Greek life as sisters and brothers. You promoted the ideals 
of your organization and offered your support to fellow members. In addition, you accepted the changes 
and sacrifices you had to make in order to meet the demands of today's student while carryiing on 
your organization's legacy.

Frats rush with one week less

"The more excited they are about joining, the more involved they'll become as members."

Rush was always a chaotic time for prospective fraternity members. However, a new Interfraternity 
Council ruling made rush more hectic than ever.

To reduce the amount of time and money spent on rush, the IFC ruled to shorten it. Fall rush lasted two 
weeks, but spring rush lasted only one week.

"With the shorter rush in the spring, it became a rush for us to get everything done," freshman Christian 
Boyd, a member of Phi Lambda Chi, said. "It was impossible to find time for all the activities we wanted 
to do and get the men involved in them."

The shorter rush made it more difficult for fraternities to get to know prospective members.

"A week just isn't long enough to meet the guys," junior Jeff Watts, a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, 
said. "We're a small fraternity and we still found the one week rush too short."

Some fraternity members wondered how they would handle the shorter rush in the future. Freshman 
Theo D'Rosario, a member of Sigma Tau Gamma, said the shorter rush would make it more difficult for 
new students to choose a fraternity.

"I was a new freshman in the fall when I pledged," D'Rosario said. "I didn't know anything about the 
fraternities here. Having the activities spread out over two weeks helped me figure out which one to 
join."

To make better use of their rush time, fraternities focused on activities which would help them get to 
know prospective pledges.

"You want to sit down and talk to them one-on-one," Boyd said. "We go around and visit them 
individually."

D'Rosario said informal settings were best to break the ice.

"Outdoor activities are good for getting everyone to relax," D'Rosario said. "We go skiing out at the lake 
and have barbecues at our fraternity house."

Members of Alpha Gamma Rho opted for indoor recreation.

"We play pool and go bowling with our prospective pledges," Watts said. "These are good activities 
because they help the guys get out there and loosen up."

While screening prospective members, fraternities searched for men with specific qualities.

"We especially look for honesty," Watts said. "But leadership is also important, as it is for any 
fraternity."

Fraternities also tried to determine how enthusiastic prospective pledges were about Greek life.

"The more excited they are about joining, the more involved they'll become as members," Boyd said. 
"They'll contribute more time to the fraternity and get more from it in return."

Despite differences in individual selection criteria, fraternity members agreed it was most important for 
new pledges to blend well with the rest of the fraternity.

"You want to accept guys with good personalities that you can hang out with," D'Rosario said. "It's hard 
to figure that out when you only have a week to get to know them."

Women rush to be colored Greek

"I think rush would be a scary experience anyway, but having so many people there just made it worse."

To rush or not to rush. Women faced that question every year. This fall, more women than ever opted 
for Greek life.

The fall rush theme was "Color Me Greek" and 301 women, a record number, attended rush parties for 
the five national sororities.

To allow more of these women to enter the Greek system, the Northeast Panhellenic Council raised the 
number of women each sorority could accept from 42 to 48.

"The interest in rush was overwhelming," Panhellenic Adviser Noelle Kranz said. "We'd like to see the 
pledge classes stay small, but we really had no choice but to raise the quota with so many women 
interested."

Two hundred and seven women became pledges in the fall. They indicated their sorority choice at the 
Sept. 9 yell-in in Kirk Gym.

Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Zeta and Sigma Sigma Sigma met the new quota. Alpha Phi accepted 43 
pledges and Sigma Kappa accepted only 20 pledges.

To increase their membership, Sigma Kappa took 13 pledges in the spring. They were the only national 
sorority to hold spring rush on campus.

For some rushees, the large number of women involved in fall rush created discomfort.

"I think rush would be a scary experience anyway, but having so many people there just made it worse," 
junior Stacey Klauser, who pledged Sigma Sigma Sigma in the fall, said. "With so many people around, 
it's really hard to make conversation and get to know them."

Klauser said the large number of women involved in rush also made it more difficult to choose a 
sorority.

"Each person would get more individual attention if there were fewer people rushing," Klauser said. 
"You try really hard to relax and be yourself. However, you're still not sure how to act. You're afraid you 
might miss your chance to decide if you belong to a particular sisterhood or show them that you're right 
for their group."

Kranz said she realized fall rush's large size created problems.

"We were pleased to see so many girls interested," Kranz said. "But at the same time we weren't sure 
how to accommodate them. I think we did the best we could with the situation."

Although she found the large number of rushees intimidating, Klauser said she thought the sororities 
handled it well.

"They did their best to make us feel at home," Klauser said. "By the time we got to yell-in, I felt a lot 
more at ease. I was also more sure of which group I wanted to be with."

Kranz said the addition of a new national sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, would help the Greek system 
accommodate more women and make rush less hectic.

"They'll be colonizing next spring," Kranz said. "Once the Greek system is expanded, we'll be better able 
to handle big rush seasons in the future."

Local sororities stress unity

Despite their small size, local sororities strove for recognition on campus. Gamma Phi Sigma, the only 
local sorority recognized by the Panhellenic Council, grew to 40 members. Another local group, Sigma 
Chi Delta, tried to get a Panhellenic charter, but had not yet received one.

Junior Lori Parrett said she joined Gamma Phi Sigma because of its small size.

"We're a very close-knit group," Parrett said. "You get to know your sorority sisters better and faster 
because there aren't nearly as many of them."

Sigma Chi Delta had fewer than 20 members. Sophomore member Jan Horn said the group's size was 
one of its advantages.

"Sisterhood is a big issue for us," Horn said. "We really are like a family because we're so small. I can't 
imagine having this kind of sisterhood in a group with 90 or 100 people."

Money also influenced many women to join a local sorority.

"It's so much cheaper than a national sorority," Parrett said. "I probably spent a total of $100 for Gamma 
Phi Sigma dues and events this year. I know people in national sororities who spent five or six times that 
much or more."

Local sorority members said they also had more control over the money they spent because they did not 
have to pay dues to a national organization.

"I like knowing where my money's going," said sophomore Julie Jensen, Sigma Chi Delta member. "We 
can see exactly what we're paying for and how that money's being spent."

Because they were not governed by a national body, local sororities had to obey fewer regulations. 
Members said they took a more active role in their group's decision-making processes.

"If we make a rule, it's because the majority of us want it, not because a higher authority wants it," said 
freshman Mary Lee Salzer, Gamma Phi Sigma member.

Jensen said Sigma Chi Delta also enjoyed this freedom.

"We think of ourselves as setting trends rather than following them," Jensen said. "We like to think 
we're building our own traditions."

Being part of a local sorority also had disadvantages. Although they prized the freedom of not following 
national regulations, members missed the security which national backing provided.

"The big sororities give a lot to their nationals, but they also get a lot back," Salzer said. "They have a 
stronger network of alumni and more financial backing."

Their larger size and longer history gave national sororities added visibility on campus.

"They get more respect," Jensen said. "Because we're not recognized by the Panhellenic Council yet, a 
lot of people don't even know Sigma Chi Delta exists."

Salzer said she tried to convert disadvantages to advantages.

"I stress maximum involvement when I plan activities," Salzer said. "If we can get everyone involved, we 
can be an even stronger group and a stronger force on campus in the future."

Greeks eager for housing

"If the sorority and fraternity houses were closer together, it would make the Greek life on this campus 
a lot stronger."

As the popularity of Greek organizations grew on campus, fraternities and sororities reconsidered their 
housing options. While sorority members pondered building houses, fraternity members dreamed of a 
Greek row.

The University recognized over two dozen Greek organizations. The fraternities had houses off campus 
and the sororities had housing in Brewer Hall.

Although some sorority members wanted to see off-campus sorority houses in the future, many did not 
see it happening.

"I would like to see the sororities have the freedom and option of building their own houses," junior 
Tracy Dahl, of Sigma Sigma Sigma, said.

While sorority houses meant freedom to some women, others thought they would be a source of 
additional restrictions. Freshman Carrie Morgan, of Alpha Sigma Alpha, saw both advantages and 
disadvantages to sorority houses.

"It would be great to have an actual sorority house," Morgan said. "But along with a house comes a lot 
of additional rules."

On several occasions, President Warren said that if sororities were ever allowed to build houses, the 
houses would have to be on campus. Warren thought having the houses on campus would be safer for 
the women than having them off campus. The sororities would have to comply with on-campus alcohol 
policies and other restrictions.

The University had no immediate plans to build sorority houses. Instead, current plans were to remodel 
and restructure Brewer Hall to accommodate a new national sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta. Alpha 
Gamma Delta planned to colonize on campus in spring 1992.

While the sororities were dealing with the issue of dorms versus houses, the fraternities were 
considering a Greek row.

Sophomore Steve Kritzmire, of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said a Greek row would make the Greek community 
stronger.

"If the sorority and fraternity houses were closer together, it would make the Greek life on this campus 
a lot stronger," Kritzmire said. "They have Greek rows on the bigger campuses and this seems to help 
the overall Greek unity."

Sophomore Steve Bell, of Lambda Chi Alpha, said the University should help with Greek housing if 
possible.

"If you compare the Greek housing on this campus with that of other campuses, it's horrible," Bell said. 
"The University should help the Greeks with a Greek row so they can build adequate housing close to 
each other. This would help to improve Greek relations and the Greek system as a whole."

Like sorority houses, the Greek row was only a dream at this point. The University had no plans to fund 
the project.

Sorority housing and Greek row were both important issues for the Greek community. With the number 
of students joining Greek organizations, they became important issues for the administration as well.

Greek 2000 modernizes system

Because of a policy called Greek 2000, the Greek system faced some major changes.

Greek 2000 was developed in 1989 to evaluate ways to improve the Greek system so it could better 
complement the University's changing needs.

Policies covered by Greek 2000 included pledge seasons, risk management and the Judiciary Board. 
Greek 2000 aimed to make pledge season more rewarding and less intimidating for pledges.

"Pledge education should be developmental rather than destructive," Panhellenic Adviser Noelle Kranz 
said. "No hazing of any kind is permitted."

Greek 2000 also stated that alcohol could not be served at rush functions.

Sophomore Deana Lane, a Delta Zeta member, said she thought Greek 2000 improved their pledge 
season.

"I think Greek 2000 has made a major impact on Greek life," Lane said. "I think more people are joining 
organizations on this campus because they know they can't be hazed."

Greek 2000 risk management meant Greeks took responsibility for alcohol consumption. Kranz said 
specific alcohol policies varied among organizations.

"Every fraternity and sorority has their own way of handling alcohol consumption," Kranz said. "But they 
all try to minimize risk -- both the risk of injury or death and the risk of a lawsuit."

The Judiciary Board was another new addition. When fraternity or sorority members violated one of 
Greek 2000's rules, they were tried by a jury of Greeks.

Senior Jeff Sohn, a Sigma Phi Epsilon member, said having the Judiciary Board made an impact.

"At least, with the J-board, we are being tried by our Greek peers," Sohn said. "Having other Greeks 
hand out your punishment seems more fair because they know they could be in the same situation."

Regulation by peers was an aspect of Greek 2000 Greeks liked best.

Senior Rebecca Welge, an Alpha Sigma Alpha member, said by taking issues into their own hands and 
governing themselves, the Greek system was stronger.

"I think Greek 2000 is making a step in the right direction," Welge said. "Being regulated by your peers is 
better than being strictly regulated by members of faculty or administration who might have biases or 
who aren't even linked to the Greek system."

Sophomore Steve Bell, a Lambda Chi Alpha member, said Greek 2000 benefitted the Greek system as a 
whole.

"The Greek system at Northeast has become so much stronger," Bell said. "If the Greek community can 
continue its self-regulations and positive turnarounds, by the year 2000 Northeast will have a very 
strong, well-respected group of Greeks."

Greek 2000 has been amended several times since it was first recommended in 1989, but the Greeks on 
campus adapted to the changes and planned to achieve its goals by the year 2000.

Demand sparks sorority search

"We wanted to get a group that would blend well with the sororities we already have, yet offer some 
diversity at the same time."

To broaden the range of options available for women interested in Greek life, Alpha Gamma Delta 
national social sorority will colonize on campus next spring.

Panhellenic Adviser Noelle Kranz said the Panhellenic Council had been seeking expansion for several 
years.

"Rush has been getting bigger every year," Kranz said. "We realized that our current selection of 
sororities could not adequately accommodate all the women who were interested."

A committee composed of two representatives from each national sorority and one representative from 
each local sorority formed to facilitate the expansion process. After evaluating all sororities interested in 
colonizing here, they selected Alpha Gamma Delta.

"We wanted to get a group that would blend well with the sororities we already have, yet offer some 
diversity at the same time," Kranz said.

Alpha Gamma Delta was founded May 30, 1904 at Syracuse University (New York). It has 165 chapters 
and 104,000 members.

Alpha Gamma Delta would advertise in the fall and would be included in the fall rush book.

"We want to promote them as much as possible," Kranz said. "We want to make sure women who rush 
in the fall realize there will soon be another sorority option available to them."

In the spring, Alpha Gamma Delta will accept an initial pledge class of about 100 women.

"I don't think they'll have any problem getting a group that size together," Kranz said.

Some women interested in the new sorority wondered how the large size of the initial pledge class 
would affect its members.

"The idea of joining something new appeals to me," said freshman Jill Rogers. "But I don't know if I'd 
want to be in such a massive pledge class. I think of a pledge class as a smaller, more intimate group."

Kranz did not think the large pledge class would be a problem.

"Every sorority colonizes this way," Kranz said. "If anything, having the entire chapter get initiated all at 
once should bring the women closer together."

Kranz hoped the addition of a new sorority would allow all the sororities to decrease in size.

"We see 75 members per chapter as our ideal size," Kranz said. "But all the national sororities have more 
than 100 members."

Junior Lori Parrett, a member of Gamma Phi Sigma local sorority, said she was glad Alpha Gamma Delta 
was going to colonize here.

"The small size and closeness among members are the main things I like about being in a local sorority," 
Parrett said. "Hopefully, national sororities can enjoy these benefits as well."

Kranz said her office had received positive feedback from the Greek community.

"This is one of the best things to happen to the sororities here in a long time," Kranz said. "The Greek 
community as a whole is very excited."

Bondage ties couples at mixers

"Basically, the guy and his date have to spend the entire night handcuffed together."

Choosing a theme was an important part of planning any mixer or date party. Greeks agreed a good 
theme made the evening special, but a bad one could have disastrous results.

Sophomore Rene Whittenburg, a member of Delta Zeta, defined a good theme as one which everyone 
could relate to.

"The worst thing is to have a select group of people planning something which only suits their own 
interest," Whittenburg said.

Whittenburg said she liked themes emphasizing music.

"We had a Club MDZ date party a while back that was a lot of fun," Whittenburg said. "It played off the 
idea of Club MTV, something almost everyone knows about. Almost everyone was dancing. There were 
video screens everywhere."

While themes like Club MDZ encouraged mingling, other themes attempted to bring people closer to 
their dates. For members of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, a little bondage went a long way.

"You can have a really good time and do a lot of different things with the Bondage Bash theme," 
sophomore Phi Sigma Kappa member John McKenzie said.

"Basically, the guy and his date have to spend the entire night handcuffed together."

McKenzie said the Bondage Bash theme worked well for both established couples and those who did not 
know each other well.

"People who've been going out are at each other's sides all evening a lot of the time anyway," McKenzie 
said. "If you're just getting to know each other, the cuffs speed up the process."

Senior Kevin Hoshaw, a member of Lambda Chi Alpha, said he also like themes which helped people get 
acquainted.

"Our fraternity does different things with anonymous dates or secret admirers," Hoshaw said. 
"Sometimes the girls know who we are, but we don't know them. Sometimes it works the other way 
around."

Hoshaw said this theme worked well because of the suspense involved.

"The secret admirer starts giving the other person gifts or little clues about a week before the actual 
party," Hoshaw said. "It makes you eager to go to the party because you're curious to see who they are."

While these themes generated interest, others led to failure or embarrassment.

"People don't like being asked to wear something humiliating," Hoshaw said. "For example, we tried a 
toga mixer once, but only three people showed up in togas."

Although guidelines like avoiding embarrassing clothing and helping dates get acquainted helped Greeks 
plan mixers and date parties, Greeks agreed there was no foolproof way to predict a theme's success.

"It's hard to say what makes an evening work," Hoshaw said. "It depends on the group of people and 
how well it's planned."

Whether setting up video screens or wearing handcuffs, Greeks continued to search for creative ways to 
have a good time.

Black students heighten awareness

"Black students do not have a voice on campus right now."

The black population on campus was small, but it was growing. The growing black population placed 
new demands on the University, even at times by joining diversity rallies on campus. Several 
organizations attempted to address these demands and help the administration have a more 
harmonious campus.

One of these groups was the Association of Black Collegians (ABC). ABC's goal was to provide 
educational and social advancement for all college students, not just black students. Membership was 
open to all students, but ABC encouraged those students who understood and were willing to help the 
black community.

"We are trying to promote black unity and awareness on this campus," freshman Edward Sutton, vice 
president of ABC said. "We are also interested in providing an intellectual and social atmosphere."

As they gave the campus an environment for black students, ABC sponsored various services and 
activities.

"We provide tutors for those students who need help," Sutton said. "We have a few parties each year to 
provide a chance for people to socialize."

In addition to these events, ABC also sponsored a fashion show, a booth at Dog Days and various events 
celebrating black heritage and culture.

ABC and other black organizations also strove to have the minority voice heard on campus.

"Black students do not have a voice on this campus right now," freshman Khristal Jackson said. "That is 
what we are trying to change. We must first start by making the black students on this campus politically 
and socially advanced."

Other organizations attempted to help black students in different ways.

One group, the Black Law Students Association, believed in preparing students who intended to pursue 
careers in law and giving them support in planning their futures. By doing this, BLSA hoped to help 
students become better prepared to face whatever came their way.

"We are basically a support group for the black law students on this campus," senior Ardie Bland, BLSA 
vice president, said. "We prepare them for law school and help each other with whatever else we need."

To help black students prepare for law school, the BLSA sponsored forums and colloquiums dealing with 
current events. These activities gave students who spoke at them the chance to polish their verbal skills 
and analyze the information. They also helped other students clarify their views on the topics being 
discussed.

BLSA brought minority students to campus to take tours twice each year. They took trips to various law 
schools to learn about the programs offered there and the requirements for admission.

With the increasing number of black students on campus, members of black organizations hoped to 
become even more active and vocal in the future. By sponsoring a variety of activities, they hoped to 
help each other as well as the campus as a whole.

Giving time, effort, self to causes

"It creates a habit of giving that will continue."

Although Greek organizations were credited with many of the philanthropies on this campus, other 
organizations contributed just as much time and service.

Cardinal Key, a national honor sorority, was active both on and off campus. One of the groups which 
benefitted the most from Cardinal Key was the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

Sophomore Leigh Walton said the funds were raised through crosswalks and car washes.

Cardinal Key also did service projects with other organizations. Senior David Hennings, a Blue Key 
member, said Blue Key and Cardinal Key were joint sponsors of blood drives.

Like Cardinal Key members, Blue Key members devoted large amounts of time to community projects. 
Hennings said service was Blue Key's main purpose.

"Our main focus is service," Hennings said. "We try to pick several services through the year that we can 
contribute to and we put in a lot of man-hours."

O.S.C.A.R. (Organization of Students Concerned About Resources) recycled paper and cans on campus. 
The group's main focus was to promote environmental awareness. O.S.C.A.R. attempted to educate 
students about the importance of recycling.

O.S.C.A.R. sponsored a Teach-In on Dec.5. During this event, O.S.C.A.R. members read papers on 
environmental issues and answered questions. Topics included environmental ethics, paper recycling 
and population growth.

Many students were involved with church-affiliated groups like the Lutheran Students, Wesley House, 
Baptist Student Union and Newman Center.

The Newman Center, affiliated with the Catholic Church, worked on philanthropies for the community 
as well as philanthropies abroad. Some of their favorite local charities were Big Brother/Big Sister 
programs and food pantries.

Junior Doc Pierce served as president of Newman Council, the body that coordinated Newman Center 
activities. Pierce said all work was done by members and other students who volunteered their time. He 
said students traveled to Mexico during spring break to help the people there build churches.

Newman Center also contributed to Habitat for Humanity. As part of the program, volunteers went to 
Iowa to build homes for people who could not afford them.

Like the Newman Center, the Lutheran Students raised money for the poor.

"One of the biggest events was the Crop Walk in October," junior Laura Shadle said. "That's where we 
got the most people involved in doing service."

Crop Walk volunteers walked 20 miles to help the hungry. Proceeds were divided between the Church 
World Service and the Kirksville Food Depot.

Service project participants said they felt good about the work they did. Many intended to continue 
doing community service after they graduated.

"The participation in philanthropies gives us a chance to help others," Pierce said. "It creates a habit of 
giving that will continue for the rest of our lives."

Education clubs learn by doing

"Learning about others has helped me to motivate them."

Education was the foundation of our society. Many students on campus agreed with this statement. 
They were education majors and members of education clubs.

Some of these education clubs formed to help students in the field of education. Clubs like Student 
Missouri State Teachers Association, National Education Association and Elementary Education Club 
brought in speakers for their meetings. Speakers focused on topics like discipline in schools, resume 
writing and job prospects for the future.

Graduate student Ellen Doering said NEA brought in speakers who talked about new ideas in education.

Education clubs sponsored conferences including one titled "Common Ground: Bridging the Gap," which 
was attended by professionals as well as students. Problems resulted with the conference because it 
was too big for the educations clubs to handle by themselves. In response, members of the Elementary 
Education Club formed the Education Connection to put together the education conference each year.

Senior Diane Richmond, president of Education Connection, said the club wanted to bring together 
everyone on campus who was interested in education.

"Education Connection, that's our driving force," Richmond said. "We would like to connect everyone at 
this university who is interested in education."

NEA had a similar idea. Doering said they sold t-shirts with an education theme.

"We wanted them to be more education-oriented and less club-oriented," Doering said.

Education clubs helped their members develop a broader perspective on education which would allow 
them to succeed in their chosen field. To stimulate interest, they sent information to all students who 
had indicated they wanted to pursue teaching careers.

After receiving information from several education clubs, freshman Sarah Jones decided to join SMSTA.

"I wanted to become involved in a club relating to my future teaching career," Jones said.

Along with several other members of SMSTA, Jones attended an October convention in St. Louis. She 
said she gained ideas on how to interact with students.

"I especially remember one creative writing teacher I met," Jones said. "He showed us how he was able 
to motivate his students and really get them to enjoy writing. When I become a teacher, that's the kind 
of impact I want to have."

Some education clubs also focused on the political scene. Sophomore Tonya Reedy, NEA treasurer, said 
NEA emphasized lobbying for bills concerning education.

"We find out where political candidates stand on various issues and make that information available to 
our members," Reedy said.

Richmond agreed information about the teaching profession was the main focus.

"By being in education clubs, I've come to understand a lot of different views," Richmond said. "And 
learning about others has helped me to motivate them and find sources that will help them succeed in 
the field of education."

Service clubs enhance communities

"It's an opportunity for students to give something back."

Some students went to college for a well-rounded education, others came to enhance their social life. 
Yet somewhere between bettering yourself and letting others get the best of you, there was giving to 
others. Service organizations gave students this opportunity.

One such service organization, the Student Ambassadors, gave campus tours to prospective students. 
The ambassadors numbered around 100. They were selected through an application and interview 
process each spring.

"Student Ambassadors provide an important behind-the-scenes function," junior Jennifer Cook, 
president of Student Ambassadors, said. "A lot of students who are here now have been affected in 
some way by Student Ambassadors, as prospective tour students."

Each Student Ambassador volunteered to work an hour a week in the Admissions Office, giving tours. 
Melody Chambers, assistant director of admissions, estimated that during the fall semester, Student 
Ambasssadors averaged 170 tours per week.

Purple Pride, another service organization, focused almost entirely on the football program. Members 
sold programs at football games, worked one hour per week in the football office, gave tours of the 
campus and sports facilities to new team recruits, decorated the locker room and provided 
refreshments for the team.

Senior Kimberly Haugh, president of Purple Pride, said the group supported itself through fundraisers, 
although the University did provide some funding.

"I think Purple Pride has changed a lot in the four years I've been here," Haugh said.

Two other service organizations existed to help the Kirksville community. Circle K International and 
Campus Volunteers performed service work on campus and in the Kirksville area.

Circle K International was a student organization with ties to the Kiwanis International Club. Members 
helped out with Red Cross blood drives, tutored junior high students, assisted the Salvation Army and 
Violence Intervention Services, and attended national and international conventions. The club required 
$25 dues, a minimum number of service hours and attendance at regular meetings.

Senior Debbie Cobb, Circle K president, said members were ordinary people who wanted to be involved.

Campus Volunteers, a Big Brother/Big Sister organization, matched students with children between the 
ages of 5 and 15, mostly from single-parent and low-income families. Students met the children each 
week for activities.

"It's an opportunity for students to give something back to the community," senior Jason Dickus, 
president of Campus Volunteers, said.

Campus Volunteers paid $5 per semester in dues. The money went toward monthly group activities for 
the children, including roller-skating, Easter egg hunts and pizza parties.

Senior Doug Priefer, vice president, said, "You do stuff with friends, you do things to help kids and give 
kids friends."

Multiple club members fight time

"If it's not on my calendar, I won't get it done."

Senior Jason Trent considered himelf a racehorse.

"I always need to be on the go," Trent said. 'Racehorses are always on the move and that's how I like to 
be."

Trent served as president of the International Association of Business Communicators. He was also a 
member of the Business Administration Club and Phi Theta Kappa, an honorary society for transfer 
students.

Trent was not the only racehorse on campus. Many students were involved in several campus 
organizations. These students spent most of their extra time with their various groups.

Senior Cathy Arnold said she usually had at least one meeting in the afternoon and two in the evening. 
Some days she even had more obligations to meet.

Arnold was the president of Delta Zeta social sorority, pledge committee chairwoman of Cardinal Key 
service sorority and secretary of Order of Omega and Pi Kappa Delta, an honorary forensics fraternity. 
She also led Greek Bible studies, wrote for the Index and was a member of the Baptist Student Union.

Arnold said this type of schedule didn't leave her much free time.

"I don't get much free time," Arnold said. "If I did, I wouldn't know what to do with it. I love spending 
time with my clubs, but I also miss spending time with my friends."

Senior Keri Bjork was actively involved in campus organizations. She was president of the Student 
Nurses Association, Cardinal Key parliamentarian, a Ryle Hall peer adviser, a member of marching band 
and an active participant in Catholic Newman Center activities.

Bjork said she didn't have much free time either, but she wished she had more time to study.

"If I need more time to study, my sleep is the first thing to be sacrificed," Bjork said. "But if I had any 
more time, I'd probably just waste it anyway."

Junior Jennie Forrest was president of Pi Kappa Delta honorary forensics fraternity and a member of 
Delta Zeta social sorority, Alpha Psi Omega honorary dramatics fraternity, and Readers Roundtable. She 
also performed in many theater productions.

Forrest said her organizations usually occupied her entire day.

"I leave for class at 8:30," Forrest said. "I'm lucky if I get a bite to eat for lunch. I get home for the night 
about 9:30. I feel bad if I don't have 50 million things going at once."

Bjork said she was compulsively organized.

"If it's not on my calendar, I won't get it done," Bjork said. "I don't go anywhere without it."

Forrest said the stress of being in so many different organizations occasionally overwhelmed her.

"If I'm too stressed, I just lie in bed all day and don't even answer the phone," Forrest said. "I just pray 
nobody needs me that day."

Forrest said being involved demanded a lot of time and energy, but the sacrifices were worth it.

"I love meeting people," Forrest said. "The organizations give me a lot and I don't want to take anything 
without giving something back."

Leadership skills abound in halls

"The theme of hall government is to create a community.

Each of the residence halls or residential colleges on campus had some form of hall government. These 
hall governments were responsible for meeting the needs and wants of residents.

"The theme of hall government is to create a community," junior Shelly Pawlak said. "It is to unite 
residents. I feel that CHOICE [Centennial Hall Offers Ideas, Community and Encouragement] has done 
well to maintain this goal."

Sophomore Ken Rhoads, a member of Missouri Colleges Senate said interaction between senators and 
residents was crucial if thoughts and ideas of the residents were to be acted on.

"The input of every student is both wanted and needed," senior David Shannon, president of Missouri 
Colleges Senate said. "The hall senates are ways that you can get stuff accomplished."

Hall governments did more than just act on thoughts and ideas. They also sponsored special programs 
and events for their residents.

"We usually get a lot of feedback from the residents on what they want," Shannon said. "So we sponsor 
such events as Late Night with Dobson Hall and Lakeside Revue."

Missouri Hall Senate went beyond meeting the social needs of their residents. They also sponsored a 
child from Africa as a residence hall.

"As a group we thought it would be a good idea to sponsor a child," Shannon said. "We posted 
information about her on a bulletin board in the main entry hallway so that everyone could get to know 
a little about her."

Hall governments worked hard to accomplish their tasks. For many of the governments, funds were 
scarce. Ryle Senate raised most of its funds through its hall store, the Vittle Vault.

"As in every year, most of our money to do our projects comes from our hall store," sophomore Patty 
Bretz, Ryle senator, said. "Our hall store is run strictly by volunteers."

Ryle Senate was also trying to have the main lounge furniture replaced. Many residents complained 
about the unattractive color and style of the furniture.

All of the hall governments sought suggestions and involvement from their residents.

"We as senators have a lot of power," Shannon said. "But the only way that we will continue to make 
improvements is through student involvement."

Some hall government positions were filled through an application process. Residents who did not serve 
as senators were encouraged to attend meetings or give ideas to their hall government representatives.

"We are here for the students," freshman Trina Narvaez, Ryle senator, said. "We would like to see more 
of the residents get more involved and see that hall government is worthwhile."

For students who had given exceptional service to their residence hall or college, those students were 
honored by an invitation to join the National Residence Hall Honorary. After an interview process, only a 
handful of students were asked to join.

Hall governments offered a wide mix of activities and opportunities for students with differing interests.

Service begins with helping peers

"Tutoring is one of our main projects.

Giving a speech or taking a difficult test made some students panic. To ease these students' minds and 
help them succeed, many organizations offered tutoring.

Lambda Pi Eta, an honorary speech communication fraternity, helped students organize and rehearse 
their speeches. They offered this service on Tuesday nights from 6-10 p.m. Although tutoring was 
available for all speech classes, Fundamentals of Speech students utilized the service most often.

"The service appealed most to people in the introductory level classes," Joy Mez, Lambda Pi Eta 
secretary, said. "Some of them had never given a speech before and they weren't sure how to go about 
it."

Mez said students usually asked questions about organizing their thoughts and constructing outlines.

"Once they know where they're going with the speech, they feel more comfortable," Mez said. "That 
helps everything else fall into place."

Some students, however, expressed their anxieties about public speaking or rehearsed their speeches in 
front of the tutors.

"Questions and concerns about actually giving a speech are a lot harder to deal with," Mez said. "But 
sometimes we can point out areas in their delivery that need work."

Freshman Stacy Lundstrom found Lambda Pi Eta tutoring helpful.

"It helps you get used to speaking in front of strangers," Lundstrom said. "Also, if you just practice in 
front of your friends, they may be afraid to tell you what they really think."

Like Lambda Pi Eta tutoring, Alpha Chi Sigma tutoring appealed mainly to students in introductory level 
courses. Alpha Chi Sigma, a chemistry fraternity, offered tutoring Sunday through Thursday evenings.

"Tutoring is one of our main projects," Anne Moody, Alpha Chi Sigma adviser, said.

While planning the program, Moody consulted the Academic Planning Services office.

"We wanted to make sure our volunteers were not only skilled in chemistry, but also skilled in working 
with people," Moody said. "It doesn't do any good to know the subject if you can't explain it to someone 
who doesn't."

Another scientific organization, Beta Beta Beta, also provided tutoring. Beta Beta Beta tutors were 
available four nights each week.

"The most common questions involved synthesizing and making sense out of material," Ann McCaffrey, 
Beta Beta Beta secretary, said. "Students wanted to know what to remember and how to remember it."

McCaffrey said the most challenging part of tutoring was answering questions about classes she had 
taken several years ago.

"It takes a minute to refresh your memory," McCaffrey said. "It's a good review for the tutor as well as 
the student."

To make students aware of the service, Beta Beta Beta members hung posters in Science Hall and 
encouraged biology instructors to announce the tutoring sessions.

"A lot of students are uncomfortable asking professors questions, or they don't have time because their 
professors don't have office hours at night," McCaffrey said. "We wanted to make sure they knew we 
were available to help them."

International clubs promote culture

"You learn about a lot of different cultures at once."

Although most students spoke English as their native tongue, foreign languages abounded on campus. 
Foreign language clubs gave students a chance to explore their interests in many languages.

Each club offered unique activities and opportunities for its members. Senior Katie Kenny said the 
Spanish Club bought a movie each year and donated it to the University.

Most foreign language clubs didn't buy movies for the University, but many of them watched movies 
together.

"We get together sometimes and watch German movies," junior Ann Lohman, German Club member, 
said. "It's a lot of fun, and the English subtitles help."

Senior J.J. Hoskins said Pi Delta Phi, the French honorary society, went a step beyond just watching 
movies.

"We show French films to anyone who would like to come and watch them," Hoskins said. "We also give 
them free popcorn, this helps give the feeling that you are at a real movie."

While activities like movies were fun, there was more to foreign language clubs.

The German Club adopted a stretch of highway near Bevier, which they cleaned every semester. Pi Delta 
Phi held fundraisers like bake sales.

The International Club hosted an international dinner each year which involved almost every foreign 
language club.

"These dinners are a lot of fun," junior John Lear, French Club member, said. "You get to experience 
different foods and learn about other cultures at the same time."

Learning about a certain culture seemed to be the main reason people joined foreign language clubs.

Freshman Claralyn Price said she liked being in the International Club because of the variety of cultures 
represented.

"With International Club, you don't just learn about one culture," Price said. "You learn about a lot of 
different cultures at once."

"There are some people in the German Club who have been to Germany or who have even studied 
abroad in Germany," Lohman said. "It's neat to hear about their experiences."'

Being in a foreign language club was a good way to meet people, too.

Senior Donna Peters, German Club president, said a common interest in the German language and 
culture helped members of the German Club get to know one another.

"It's a really relaxed atmosphere as far as meeting people goes because you all start off with something 
in common," Peters said.

"I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of different people with similar interests," Hoskins said. "It's nice 
just to get together and talk French."

Peters agreed that meeting people and socializing were the main purposes of foreign language clubs. 
She added, however, that there were academic benefits as well.

"Most of our activities are social," Peters said. "But some of the things we do, like the German games we 
play, can teach you things about the culture and improve your language skills. That added skill could 
help you in your German classes."

Berns was a member of the Bulldog wrestling team. The 134-pound wrestler competed in the NCAA 
Division II Wrestling Tournament in 1991. He was the first Northeast wrestler to compete in the national 
tournament since 1982. His record at the time was 21-17. As a Northeast freshman, his record was 13-
22-2, so he requested to be red-shirted so he could concentrate on his studies.

While in high school at North Fayette High School, Berns lettered four years in wrestling. He was also a 
two-time state-qualifier. His career record in high school was 77-28-1.

Funeral services were held May 12 in West Union, Iowa and Berns was buried in Elkader, Iowa.

Melinda B. Wood

Tragedy struck Nov. 14 when Melinda Wood, 20, was killed in an afternoon head-on collision two miles 
north of Macon. According to the Highway Patrol, the accident occurred at 4:10 p.m. on Highway 63.

The other car, driven by an Atlanta, Mo. man, was northbound when he attempted to pass a car. While 
passing in the southbound lane, his Ford pickup truck hit the car driven by Wood, according to the 
patrol.

Wood died at 6:13 p.m. at the University of Missouri Hospital and Clinics. The driver of the other vehicle 
was pronounced dead at Macon Samaritan Hospital. Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts at the 
time of the accident, according to the Highway Patrol.

Wood graduated from New Cambria R-IV School as valedictorian in 1989. While in high school, she was 
active in basketball and band. She earned all-conference and all-district honors in basketball. Wood also 
was a member of the National Honor Society and attended Girls State.

While at Northeast, she was a junior political sciene major. She was a member of the Political Science 
Club and a Student Senate associate. Last spring, she served an internship under Representative Sandra 
Reeves of Kansas City.

Funeral services were held Nov. 17 at the United Church of New Cambria and she was buried in the New 
Cambria Cemetery.

Joseph Futo

Mid-summer had a tragic twist when sophomore Joseph Futo was slain July 26 in St. Louis.

Emory Futo Jr. was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of his brothers Nicholas and Joseph 
and his parents Emory Sr. and Euna. Emory Jr. was apprehended a few days later at his Riverside, Calif, 
home.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Emory Jr. said his father abused the family, providing a possible 
motive for the killings.

Futo was a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and a political science major at Northeast.

Special thanks to the four ECHO editors for their hard work and dedication to the book, even after 
everyone doubted we could do it. I appreciate the thousands of hours you spent down in the dungeon 
of doom. Also a special thanks to our families and friends for their understanding and patience while we 
labored to catch up.

Members of the NMSU student body participate in the award-winning Diet Pepsi commercial which was 
filmed during the 1991 spring semester at Stokes Stadium. The commercial, produced by senior Chris 
Geisert and Johnny Langley, assistant professor of communication, was one of 10 commercials chosen 
across the U.S. to receive a $10,000 prize. The commercial aired on the Fox television network

...And the legends lived on at Northeast. Ryle 316 remained vacant, the sacred potato was still avoided 
and the gum tree grew more sticky every day.

The campus celebrated its legendary success as it pulled out all the stops for its 125th anniversary in 
order to keep the legends of Joseph Baldwin and John R. Kirk alive at the University.

The co-ed housing dream was realized as the Board of Governors passed a proposal to make half of the 
campus co-ed, starting with Centennial and Missouri halls. Students had to find their way through 
campus construction and repairs while the library neared completion and the snack bar was finally 
renovated.

The Index faced a case of academic dishonesty as a newspaper columnist was under fire for allegations 
of plagiarism.

Because of a charter suspension, the Phi Sigma Kappa social fraternity house lacks its traditional Greek 
letters. The members covered up the letters on their wooden sign with cardboard and wrote "Charter 
lost. If found, please call." The members also covered the letters on their fraternity emblem with 
pictures from cases of Bud Light. The Judiciary Board found the fraternity guilty of hazing in December,

Despite temperatures in the low 20s and 25 mile per hour winds, these football fans snuggle in to watch

A final blast of winter forces students back into their mittens and winter coats. Many students blamed 
the variable Kirksville weather for their frequent bouts with colds and the flu. A few, however, felt the 
changeable climate broke the monotony of their daily routines, (photo by Dave Mullison)

A Legend in One Volume...

Northeast felt the squeeze of dwindling education funds as students were forced to find their way to the 
bank, financial aid office or parents to accommodate increasing tuition costs.

A plan was mapped out of Northeast's first Day of Dialogue. Students offered suggestions from 
increasing flexibility of the core curriculum to improving SAB.
Once again students displayed their legendary traits and fought for more co-ed housing; campus 
diversity, curriculum improvements and a safer campus.
For the first time in Northeast history, the legendary reminder of the school's events faced a fall 
delivery. For the ECHO staff and all of those who worked to make sure that once again, the campus had 
a yearbook, what was once a legend in the making is now A Legend In One Volume.
