As each month passed during the academic year, moie and more changes were noticeable through campus and around Indiana. Fail enrollment reached record heights with 18,405 students at the Indiana campus, an increase of 157 from fall of 1986. This fig- ure surprised admissions of- ficials who estimated a de- clining enrollment due to a decrease of 18 to 25-year- olds. Along with the in- crease of students, howev- er, may come a tuition increase in the 1988-89 year, as well as definite raises in residence hall and health fees. The university ' s Capital Campaign surpassed all ex- pectations by raising $4.2 million, 170 percent of their minimum goal. Funds from the campaign will be used to increase funding of exist- ing scholarship programs, pay for at least five distin- guished professorships, ren- ovate Breezdale mansion on campus as an alumni and community center, and ex- pand progiams on branch campuses in Kittaning and Punxsutawney. Also, the 1987 Indian football team went farther than ever before by win- ning their second PSAC state title in a row against West Chester and advanc- ing to the NCAA Division II National playoffs. opening Perhaps the most vis- ible sign of the year in motion was the ever-pre- sent construction around campus. Visitors to the campus . who haven ' t seen it in a few years may thini they stopped at the wrong uni- versity: Pratt Drive was re- placed by a cul-de-sac end- ing at the HUB and a lighted walkway extending to Esch and Wallace halls. Around the Oak Grove, Wal- ler Hall was closed for reno- vations and the steps in front of Leonard and Wilson Halls were rebuilt during the winter. The cogeneration plant started operating in full ca- pacity in the fall although a pipeline mix-up caused damage. Also visible around campus were the huge oil derricks which drilled four wells to general natural gas for the cogen plant. lUP took a step in simpli- fying the registration pro- cess as it implemented a test-run in which 548 stu- dents participated by telephone. Finally, a committee to study AIDS on campus was formed. Top:The HUB parking lot was completed a.s the fall semester began. Fur right: Gymaifl Sue Wahl moves with grace on the beam.

From running to classes all day to partying, exercising, studying or re- laxing at night, there ' s not much time for boredom. For many of us, this fast- paced lifestyle is quite a change from the way we ' re used to living at home. Lifestyles Amy Thewes Assistant: Robin Crawley Gone are the days of home-cooked meals and warm nights on a thick mat- tress. Instead, we trade these for caf food, Sheetz dogs and dormitory beds. Our days fly by with exams and papers and we sometimes find that even all- nighters don ' t help us to get the A we all desire. To let this frustration out, we ______ share a variety of methods. Some look Editor: immediately to sports: smashing a racquetball, sweat- ing through aerobics or rolling through a game of mud football are great ways to clear our test-fried minds. Others look for less painful meth- , ______ ods of release, such as going to a movie on campus or at one of the malls, taking advantage of an Activities Board event, partying uptown or around campus, or simply relaxing with a bowl of popcorn and the television. Our lifestyle at lUP is also reflected in our clothing. When waking for an 8:00 class at 7:45, some abandon any thought of fashion for a ballcap and sweats. The typical rainy Indiana day also makes it difficult for one to sport the new shoes, knowing they ' ll be ruined by the rain-and-mud filled sidewalks. But despite our indi- vidual differences, the fact that we ' re all lUP students means we share a com- mon lifestyle. Students move across Oakland Avenue between classes on their way to the Oak Grove. Lifestvles . Bill ytuhlutk Life-; Alumni Come Home For The Holidays It ' s Friday, October 9, 1987, late afternoon- eai-ly evening. You pull into the semi-recognizable cam- pus for that yearly collegiate tra- dition rooted deep in welcoming, reminiscing and partying. You are an lUP alumni and this is Homecoming ' 87. Unfortunately, given all of the construction both past and pre- sent, you ' ie not quite sure if this is the same university fiom which you graduated one, two, five, or even twenty years ago. After approaching Zink Hall, the new home of the homeconing carnival, you ' re reminded that in- deed, this is lUP, and that you could register as a visiting alum- nus at the registration tent. If one thing made this year ' s festivities more memorable than those of the recent past, it was the weather. Contrary to Indiana tradition, the homecoming pa- rade and football game were viewed in sunny, even warm weather- with no rain in sight for ' the day. The theme of this year ' s home- coming was Holidays, and the fact that thousands of students, family and alumni made it thr ' ough the day without geting wet was enough reason to celebrate. No that UP homecoming par- tiers need another reason to par- ty. This year was filled with the usual festivities which adorn each year ' s weekend in October. The celebration officially be- gan Saturday morning with the Homecoming parade. Spectators lined the parade route to see area marching bands, military regi- ments, and the ever-popular shriners riding atop every possi- ble type of transportation, from mini-corvettes to mini-dune bug- gies. Highlights of the par-ade in- cluded Alpha Phi Omega ' s fir ' st place float, The grinch that stole Christmas, the ll ' P Marching band, and of course homecoming royalty. This year ' s King and Queen were Tim Bukowski and Laurel Pagoda, with first runners-up Je- rome Moore and AnneMarie Ag- new. Branch campus kings and queens wer ' e Pete Matthews and Kelli Zwickle from Pun.xsutaw- ney and Daum Corey and Su- zanne Stitely from Kittaning. After the parade, many specta- tors moved onward to the R and P lot to another favorite lUP past- time: tailgating. Partiers young and old packed the lot next to the stadium, and left thousands of bottles and cans behind them after- the university instituted the no-keg policy at tailgating events. This rule ap- parently didn ' t deter anyone from drinking, and the happy tailgater ' s then moved on to Miller stadium and the Clarion- lUP matchup. The Indians defeated Clar ' ion 24-12 with a strong defensive game in which the Eagles were held to 39 yards on the ground. After the game ended, fans dispersed to the mud-filled carni- val or back to the tailgating to prepare for one last night of see- ing friends, catching up on the present, and talking and laughing about the past. —Dana Smith . . . sun- ny, even warm weath- er with no rain in sight tor the day .

Doug Mictk Here Come The Floats! Floats aie probably the most visibly fun part of homecoming. But have you ever thought about the work that goes into a float? Two Greek organizations were willing to tell us how their floats were made. Zeta Tau Alpha and Delta Sig- ma Phi dedicated their 1987 float to the 100th birthday of the Unit- ed Way. Planning for the design of the float was selected by the chapter members with the con- sent of the local Lnited Way rep- resentative. The Zetas and Delta Sigs began to build the float two weeks in advance to assure plen- ty of time for perfection. The dirty work of the actual build- ing of the base structure and the chicken wire attachment was left to the brothers, while the ZTA sisters glued and pomped the brightly colored float. The float was completed a few days early, so all involved could relax and enjoy the homecoming festivities. Although their float received only average award standing, the Homecoming Committee was very proud that Zetas and Delta Sigs had chosen to involve a national organization in HP ' s 1987 cele- bration: they are encouraging that this behavior is repeated in the coming years. The Grinch. Dr. Seuss clas- sic Christmas thief, also stole first place for Alpha Phi Omega the National Service Fraternity in this year ' s Homecoming Parade. A-Phil-0 ' s float, titled The Grinch that Stole Christmas. was judged on originality, amount of movement, use of theme and overall performance. The float had 18 moving parts including the Grinch. whose head and arm moved: his dog. Max. whose head and tail moved: a train, which chugged around a twirling Christmas tree: and cyl- inders spinning with the message Happy Holidays. A-Phil-0 ' s road to victory was rough— literally ! Shortly before dawn on the morning of the pa- rade, a few of the brothers gath- ered at the float ' s location in the White Township Municipal Build- ing to help move it to the begin- ning of the parade route— a dis- tance of about three miles. Normally a three-mile trip would be no problem, but unfor- tunately, the float was over VI feet tali, and tree branches along the route had to he pushed aside so that the float wouldn ' t be de- stroved. It was a long three miles!! The float was shaped like a huge sled. At the back of the sled was a giant sack filled with toys and presents that, according to Dr. Seuss ' story, the Grinch stole from the Whos in Whoville. In the middle of the float was the giant spinning Christmas tree encircled by the little train. The Grinch and Max stood at the front of the float. Topping it all off was the little Whomobile that was pulled behind the float. Many people wondered how the float ' s moving parts worked, but that wasn ' t as complicated as it may have looked. Except for the little train, all the parts were operated by a pulley system con- trolled by people hiding in the giant sack. The train was pulled around its track by an A-Phi O ' s little brother from the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program. All of the effort resulted in a great win for the fraternity. In keeping with its service tradi- tions, A-Phi-0 donated the 5300 in first place prize money to charity. —Susan Jenkins and Christine Pinto Homecoming Id Top: .4 familiar sight to those over 21.

DDwnto ' .vn Indiana, also known as uptown, holds something for ev- eryone from the weekend window shopper to the weekend bar- hopper. During the day, the streets of downtown are filled with busi- nessmen dining for lunch at Isaacs, Culpeppers, the Classroom or Tom ' s, to name a few. Students roam Philadelphia street be- tween classes for that last-min- ute birthday card or school sup- ply, and usually end up making a common stop at the Cashstream machine to re-line their wallets. These features are common of any town, but at night, Indiana holds a personality all its own. For at night, the stores are closed and the bars are open. Diversity is the main attrac- tion for the uptown crowd. For the laid-back sort who like to be able to talk without screaming and perhaps even sit down, H.B. Culpeppers or Coney Island are favorite spots. Culpeppers ' happy hour is littered with students and townspeople alike, all un- winding after a long and tiresome week. For those who are in more of a partying spirit, uptown means Patti ' s, Wolfendales, or the newly reopened Calecos. The loft at Wolfies is always a hot spot, and the dancing crowd can be found every weekend on the floors of Calecos. Although it ' s found far from uptown, students can also enjoy the nightclub atmosphere at Cy- cads, which fills to the walls for dime draft night on Thurdsays. Downtown Indiana also was subject to many changes this year. In February, students and In- diana natives watched Brody ' s, a 7o-year-old department store, close its doors forever. .-Mthough the sales were enough to make even the worst shopper happy, the last department store in the downtown area will be missed by many. —Dana Smith Bill MuhUck Top: Two alumnae are dressed for a night of uptown. . bove: Beer and coolers are not the only things served at a tailgating party.

Partying Uptown lO 16 Lifestyles Relationships— An Important Part Of Life These re- Idtionships . . . have H great hold on us, and make for many memories. Relationships. They aie one of the most important fac- tois in oui ' lives. What would you do without your- hest friend ' . ' Or your boyfriend or girlfriend? Relationships form during the earliest years of life and continue on into the last years of life. Some peo- ple can still lememhei ' their very first friend, as eaiiy as age thiee or four. Everyone lemembers theii- first love. These relationships among other people outside the family have a great hold on us, and make foi ' many memories. The best part of friendship is the memories you share with your friend. The first slumber- party, the first day of school, the first co-ed birthday party where you played Spin the Bottle — memories not to be tr ' aded in in a lifetime. Then as you and your ' friend got older, there was the first split when a boyfriend or girlfriend. came along, whether it was your-s or- your friend ' s. Now there is a differ-ent stage of life. The first love is always some- thing special. Suddenly you ' ve real- ized that the opposite sex isn ' t so bad after all. The novelty of spend- ing time with someone of the oppo- site sex often permeates every area of life. Friends ai-e kind of pushed to the wayside for- a while. Couples have great memories too. How about the first date, the fir ' st prom, the first kiss? Of course, there are arguments, but what about the first time you made up ? Eventually, when the head rush of first love wears off, fr-iends are immediately back in the picture. People can learn to balance their friendships and love relationships. That ' s the best time of life. When you go to college, wherever you may go, you develo[) relationships that will last thr-ought life. Bernie McDonough, a senior in marketing, says about his best friend, We buddy up for- studies and study breaks — drinking and scooping. A senior in journalism, Gayle Schmidt, feels her relationship with her best friend is going to last for a while. It ' s fun and very open, she said. We ' re so opposite, says Leena Petak, a senior in biology education, about her- boyfriend. That ' s why we get along so well, 1 guess. What would we do without our friends? Who could we confide in about our- escapades and our- argu- ments with our- better- halves? And speaking of girlfriends and boy- friends, without them we ' d have no one for formats, date parties and in- timate moments. Relationships are vital, no matter- what age you ar-e. —Ann Thewes Doug Macek Above: Walking to class with the better half. Lefr: Friendships can evolve at all ages— and uith all ages, too.

You never know when you may need this, he says. Practice safe sex and Be wise, condomize were the re- peated slogans seen and heard throughout AIDS Awareness Week held April 5-8. The university formed an AIDS awareness committee this year which adressed conceits of Ac- quired Immune Definciency Syn- drome as related to college stu- dents and to educate them on prevention. The committee felt this is an issue of international importance and that (AIDS) is a disease that is critical to people in young age groups, said Dr. Anne Katz, chairperson of the committee. Ignorance is a tremendous prob- lem there. AIDS Awareness Week, spon- sored by the committee, the Women ' s Advisory Council, and Greek Affairs, consisted of lec- tures presented by health experts on topics such as AIDS and HIV Personal and Public Health Is- sues, The Legal Aspects of AIDS, and The Emotional As- pects of AIDS; A Metaphor for Loss, as well as condom booths set up in the HUB and Oak Grove. The lecture series was capped by a panel discussion on student concerns of the di.sease. According to panelist Dr. Allen Andrew of the lUP biology de- partment, There are only two foi ' ms of safe sex — abstinence and masturbation, and that safer sex is a better term to use. Even with condom use there is no guarantee of preventing AIDS ti ' ansmission, he said. AIDS is the first epidemic woild-wide that is acquired, said Phoebe Cressman of the Pennsyl- vania Health Department during the discussion. You have to work to get AIDS ... it is preventable. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, 55,000 people in the United States have been stricken. 30,000 of these cases resulted in death. The AIDS virus is transmitted in three main ways: having sex with an infected person, sharing needles and syringes with illegal drug users, and infection of a baby during birth from an infect- ed mother. Dispelling the rumours sur- rounding the contraction of AIDS was another goal of the aware- ness week. It is not po.ssible to get AIDS by being around someone with it, through casual contact, kissing, hugging, or touching something that .someone with AIDS has touched. To date, there is no treatment or a permanent cure for AIDS or an y of the infections associated with the disease, and no end is in sight. Meanwhile, the only known method for the reduction of the virus is education. We want to bring the campus to a point of awareness that ev- erybody should be concerned with, said Katz, who said she received nothing but positive reactions about the event. In ad- dition, the university has made condoms available at the Health Centei ' and in doimitory vending machines. — Dana Smith Ignorance is a tremen- dous prob- lem .. . 18 Lifestvles Week SE I y BE Wl CONDOMIZE A ' Ujj Hjop Center: Dr. Da- iid Lyter speaks on ■AIDS and HIV Personal and Public Health Issues.

Parking: The Eternal Headache Doug Macek ' hat ' s one thing that lUP faculty, staff and com- niutef students have in common? Piobiems with paiking on campus, said Eugene Thomas of the lUP campus police. The next question you may asi is, what is being done about the pioblem? Robert Marx, the direc- tor of campus planning, said each year about two projects involving paving are done. What we have been doing here is building new facilities and upgrading existing facilities foi ' parking, said Marx. The student union parking area and the lot located outside Whitmyre Hall are two examples of this work. Marx said that he doesn ' t re- ceive many of the complaints on parking problems, but said most are received by campus police. There ' s 4lways complaints whenever you have a controlled situation of parking like we have. You ' re going to have complaints because everybody likes to park where they ' re not allowed to park, said Thomas. Thomas said that the campus police do not like to tow cars, but if someone is unauthorized in a reserved space on campus or is a consistent violator of parking in fire lanes oi ' handicapped spaces, they will be towed. The 80 re- served parking spaces on campus are paid for each semester and when someone who is unautho- rized paiks in the space, the per- son permitted to park there can call campus police and have the car towed, said Thomas. One of the biggest complaints about parking on campus is that people can ' t find a parking space, said Thomas. There is about an even number of complaints from faculty, staff and students, he said. Adult student Karen Thomas said she doesn ' t find it a pioblem to park early in the morning be- fore an 8 a.m. class, but if she comes to campus later in the morning, she has difficulty find- ing a space. There are not enough spaces anywhere, she said. There needs to be more central locations. Fi ' eshman Susan Fox said she has had similar ' experience with finding a parking space. She too had problems finding a parking place in the latter part of the morning. I was lucky to find a pai ' king space there (the .Memorial Field House parking lot), said Fox. Thomas said if drivers went to one of the larger lots and then went to the stadium lot, they would save the time it takes to drive around campus searching for a space and be able to walk to their office or class in a shorter amount of time. One way to help diminish the parking problem would be for more people to carpool, said Thomas. Campus police have a listing of all drivers who would be willing to carpool. which is taken from the application form for parking permits, said Thomas. —Kim Davis Parking 21 Wynton Marsa- lis thrills the Fisher Audito- rium crowd with his talent. Series Gives Big Name Entertainment Doug Mdcek Every year the Ai ' ist ' s Series brings great entertainment to JUP. This year was no exception. Here are the high- lights of the shows: Ben Vereen came in Septem- ber. Live audiences are Vereen ' s first love, and the magic he creat- ed on Broadway has provided the perfect springboard for his caba- ret act. The consummate entertainei ' , Ben Veieen has left his mari on the Broadway stage, the concert stage and the screen, pleasing au- diences throughout the world. It is rare for- a performer to influ- ence an ar-ray of mediums with the brilliance of Ben Vereen. The first time a major Chinese orchestra played in the U.S., they played at IL ' P. We were the first visit in the Chinese Philharmonic Orchestra ' s tour in October-. The audience was enthralled with the performance and especially the solos of the 18-year ' -old Wang Xiao Dong, who played violin. Zuohuang Chen was the conduc- tor of the group, and at the end of the performance, the orchestra received two standing ovations. Sophisticated Ladies opened in December with the announce- ment Ladies and gentlemen, the music of Duke Ellington! Over 20 of Ellington ' s most famous songs were featured. The dancing was fantastic, from its kick-lines to its dramatic gymnastics, in- cluding back-flips and cart- wheels. The cast proved again and again that it meant business from the ver ' y first song. The spring semester started with Big River, an adaptation from Mark Twain ' s Huckleberry Finn. The crowd was kept antici- pating the show, which started an hour- and a half late. Some considered it one of the best trav- eling shows ever- seen. The performer playing Huck Finn was vital, as he narrated the story and sang. He kept the audience in touch with what was going on. A pulley system pulled the raft along the stage, making the audience feel as though it was following it down the river-. Those who stayed for- the perfor- mance enjoyed themselves. On March 18, Fisher Auditori- um was entr-anced by Waves, a Philadelphia-based dance compa- ny. Waves presented music in mo- tion, or what choreographer and director Shimon Braun called a celebration of music, of bodies, of rhythms, of connections, of life and for life. Waves displayed a variety of styles throughout the show: Break-dance and gymnastics wer ' e prevalent, with one fea- tured r-oller-skating routine. April br-()ught Wynton Marsalis to Fisher- Auditorium. Marsalis led his jazz quintet through two and one-half hours of the hottest jazz Indiana has seen inyears. After- playing such favorites as George Gershwin ' s Embraceable You, John Coltr-ane ' s Miles Mode, and ll ' P ' s fight song Cher-okee, .Mar-salis accented the night with his own J Mood (the title track from his latest album, Blac-k Codes fr-om The I ' ndergr-ound ), drum feature Down Home with Homey, and the 1940s showtune Autumn Leaves. As usual, the entertainment provided this year- was outstand- ing. Those who had season passes know their money was well- spent. —Compiled by Jim Lewis, Gayle Schmidt, and Amy Thewes . . . the en- tertainment provided this year was out- standing. r- itii Lifestyles Doug Macek Doug Macek rt.ux W,i, . T ' ' l l m ' 1 F - ' 1 Center: r i .s H dS ' J9a ■i - ' ' l dancer from K ' Jm ' SI B ' M K i the Hares H ' ' ]4L K« JB H fisf astonishes p ' ' R HH BI I people with his R KJt ' iSkxm nimbleness. .

October 2i in Fisher Audi- torium made the months of plan- ning and preparation for the contest, by Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, a success. Wheeler, sponored by Zeta Tau Alpha, did not win it easily, how- ever. He competed against eight other good-looking and talented IL ' P students that kept the near capacity audience enthusiastic from beginning to end. To start the show, the contes- tants danced to Come Go with Me, and introduced t)iemselves. Each wore a T-shirt representing their sponsors. The next section of the contest, won by. Wheeler, was the swimwear competition, where the contestants did the limbo and danced to Wipe Out. This proved to be a real crowd pleaser. The talent competition was by far the best part of the contest. Each contestant had his own act that displayed his talents and originality, giving each guy an op- portunity to shine. Wheeler performed a dance number to Whitney Houston ' s Thinking .About Y ' ou, and soph- omore David Stauffer, sponsored by Delta Omicron, won the talent competition with his rendition of the piano piece Chachaturian Taccata. This was not the only area that Stauffer excelled in. He also won the formal wear and spirit competitions, being the competitor with the most dona- tions to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF), AGD ' s philan- thropy. To top it off. Stauffer was named the first runner-up, tying with junior Joe Strauss, spon- sored by Lambda Chi Alpha. Strauss sang Sister Goldenhair by America. Second runner-up went to Larry Wood, sponsored by Phi Delta Theta. Wood sang and played the piano to Sometimes When We Touch, by Dan Hill. The other contestants ' perfor- mances included a comedy act by senior Rob Ceribelli, sponsored by Sigma Chi. Ceribelli won the con- geniality award given by the oth- er contestants. .Alpha Xi Delta ' s sponsor, freshman Eric Korpela, stripped to You ' ve Got the Look by Prince, and senior .Michael O ' Connor of Phi Sigma Kappa danced and sang Knock Three Times by Tony Orlando and Dawn. O ' Connor did his best to portray Orlando— platform shoes and all. Junior Todd Shasko, sponsored by Sigma Tau Gamma, had the crowd ' s attention during his dance performance to 1 Want Your Sex by George Michael and Delta Tau Delta ' s senior Steve Seifried ' s act to ' Jail House Rock showed a little of every- thing, from trumpet playing to song and dance. These contestants weren ' t the only ones performing. Miss ll P, Alyce Grimm, sang Superman and Chris Bertani, an IIP stu- dent, performed a comedy act that included impersonations of Robin Leach, Jimmy Stewart, Jerry Lewis and the Church Lady from Saturday Night Live. The most touching act of the night was performed by Walt McCready, last year ' s Mr. IIP. He sang Memories— The Way We Were, and dedicated it to his girlfriend, who died of leukemia. He received a standing ovation, and tears were evident on many of the crowd ' s faces. Jennifer Gleeson, chairperson of the contest, felt that the con- test was fair and went extremely well. We proved it ' s hard to tell who ' ll win, Gleeson said. The guy that excels deserves to win, though all nine of these guys co- operated and had fun. Everyone is always in for a surprise in the end. Besides being a fun and upbeat show, the contest managed to raise over S1800 for JDF, Alpha Gamma Delta ' s philanthropy since 1979. —Christine Stoback O ' Connor did his best to portray Orlando — platform shoes and aU. 26 l,ifpstvle.s Far left: Rob Cfribelli of Sig- ma Chi enter- tains the audi- ence with a comedy act.

Sponsored by the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Pater- nity Inc. and the Black Cultural Center, the 12th annual Miss Black IL P pageant was held April 9, 1988, in the HUB .Multi-Purpose Room. Judged on ten categories, Cot- ten took the audience by storm during the talent competition singing After the Love Has Lost Its Shine. Gotten, a freshman fashion merchandising major, is from Pittsburgh and member of the Sigma Dove Royal Court. First runner-up was Alicia Thompson, who won the most tal- ented award for her ballet perfoi- mance to the song The Black Butterfly by Denise Williams. Thomspon, a junior accounting major from Philadelphia, has studied ballet for 13 years. Second runner-up was Tania Shields, who won the Miss Conge- niality award. Shields, a junior elementary education Spanish major from Pittsburgh performed a gospel tune, He Won ' t Leave You by Richard Smallwood. Shields, once a member of a gos- pel choir, sang background on Foreigner ' s I Want to Know What Love Is. Also in the running were Ni- cole Seon and Angela Goss. Seon, who performed a scene from the play For Colored Girls Who Thought about Committing Sui- cide When the Rainbow Ain ' t Enuf, is a sophomore hotel res- taurant management major from Philadelphia. Goss, a freshman biology ma- jor from Philadelphia, performed a poem For .My People by Mar- garet Walker. Although there were only five contestants, the Miss Black lUP pageant had all the charm and sophistication of Miss America. Hosted by .Master of Ceremo- nies Tony Brock, the pageant got under way with contestants mod- eling sportswear followed by mu- sical entertainment by the band, which performed throughout the show. Highlights of the pageant were the group dance, performed by the contestants to I Want Her by Keith Sweat, and the evening attire competition, where the la- dies were escorted on stage and presented with flowers. The swimweai- competition also turned a few heads. During the question answer period. Gotten responded to a difficult question. When asked which comes first in her life, money, family or God, Gotten said God and family come first before money because with- out the first two items she would have never made it wheie she is today. To top the evening. Miss Black IL ' P 1987 Tonji Good gave her last words and performed a solo on the saxophone befoie giving up her crown. As Miss Black lUP, Gotten will be responsible for upholding her crown and being a positive role model to the community and the student body, . long with first runner-up Thompson and second runner-up Shields, Gotten will be- gin a scholarship fund for the winner of next year ' s pageant. —Lori Grace Miss Black lUP for 1988 is . . .

The Clarks opened the show with a 45-minute set of their own rousing tunes, songs which won them the title of runners- up in a tri-state Battle of the Bands competition. For their encore The Clarks came back on stage with The nth Hour, a popular Pittsburgh band, and together they performed a rousing rendition of U2 ' s Electric Co. The 11th Hour then played their original tunes for yet another 45-minute set. Finally the headlining act, record- ing artists The Affordable Floors, took the stage and played their own progressive brand of music. The crowd enjoyed this very much. I mean, like, a whole lot. It was a rousing performance, said Bill Halloran, AB chairman and author of this article. 1 would say it has been one of the most successful events we ' ve had all year, and I ' m very proud of all the people who worked so hard to make this kind of scintillating entertainment possible. Halloran credits AB Contempo- rary Music Committee Chairperson Nancy Costa with organizing the event. The Penn article following the Halloween Lip-Sync Contest spelled it out: AB Chairman Wins Contest. But, dubious though it seemed. Bill Halloran, along with good friend pal and confidant Joe Slick (his real name— honest), edged out the com- petition in what may have been the last Activities Board-sponsoied lip- sync contest ever. The gala event was highlighted by the fact that most of the audience came in costume, in true Halloween fashion. The audience thrilled to rousing performances by all of the lip-sincing acts, which ranged from Sheena Easton to Aerosmith. Placing third was Kristi Lyie, who according to Matt Hughes ' s Penn article, did a semi-erotic dance to Sheena Easton ' s So Far, So Good. Scantily-clad Lyle pranced about the stage in high heels while she warmed the hearts of the judges and audience with her exuberant smile. Second place went to Eileen Houghton, who dressed up as a very pregnant woman and lip-synced Ma- donna ' s Papa Don ' t Preach. Al- though allegations were levelled that she had merely slipped a large shirt over a bass drum, the sight gag was enough to garner her a second- place finish. Halloran and Slick, in their first appearance ever as a lip-syncing team, captured first place by basi- cally plagiarizing the Paul Simon Chevy Chase video of Simon ' s song You Can Call Me. Al. According to Slick, whose deadpan imitation of the miniscule Simon brought the house down. 1 can ' t believe we won. Halloran credits their victory, saying There ' s a delicate balance in the comic chemistry between Joey and myself, but essentially Joey ' s the top banana; 1 reel the audience in and Joey slaps them upside the head. Despite the event ' s success, the Activities Board decided that as far as the lUP student body was con- cerned, the age of the Lip-Sync Con- test was indeed ovei ' . There just weren ' t enough people willing to participate, but 1 think that ' s more a reflection of changing tastes than a labeling of the student body as apa- thetic, said the ever-hopeful Halloran. -Bill Halloran . . .

Students seek off-campus housing for many rea- sons, but a need for more privacy, more quiet and more freedom are three main benefits found off-campus. Many students complain that the excitement of living in the residence halls soon loses its ap- peal and that ' s when they begin considering to live off-campus. There are just too many peo- ple crammed into dorms, a soph- omore economics major said. They are too noisy and too re- strictive. 1 would rather struggle with inconvenience such as dis- tance and high rent than live in the dorms, she added. I like living off-campus tre- mendously because it is much quieter, a psychology graduate student said. You don ' t find that in the dorms around here, she added. The best part of off-campus housing is the living space. You have in most cases a separate liv- ing area, bedroom area and kitch- en area, said a sophomore jour- nalism major. It is really great to have a place of my own, not sharing with all those other stu- dents, she added. And more space means more freedom and privacy. I don ' t feel as restricted as 1 did when 1 lived on campus, said a sophomore finance major. 1 can now have as much of my per- sonal belongings with me and not feel cramped. Plus I can enter- tain a large number of people comfortably now, he added. 1 don ' t mind when my room- mates have parties, a resident of an off-campus dormitory said 1 enjoy being able to kick back and enjoy myself. College life would be boring without the fun we have here, and that ' s not possible in the dorms, he added. There are those people who like the dorms. Residence halls are a good way to meet people during the freshman (and even later) years. As freshmen, most people are apprehensive about meeting peo- ple. Some are homesick for their high school friends, and some are an.xious about meeting anyone. But with 30-50 other people on a floor, the chances of not meeting someone are impossible. Impossi- ble only because there is the roommate. Roommates provide the friend- ship needed the first few days at lUP. Getting to know one another is exciting and time-consuming. (.And where would we be without our roommate ' s clothes?) After a while, floormates are like friends and there are recog- nizable quad faces. In visiting quad friends, one advantage the dorms has is the connecting floors between buildings, so the rain, snow and wind aren ' t felt by visitors traveling from building to building. Jocelyn Reeve, a freshman liv- ing in Shafer Hall, says, I like living in the dorms because most of my friends are here and I can visit them any time of the day or night. Even in the sophomore and ju- nior years the dorms provide last- ing relationships. Dashing across the hall to visit is definitely easi- er than dashing across campus. Whether it be dorms or off- campus life you choose, there are attractions to each that will sat- isfy anybody. —Peter Kutsick and Amy Thewes m -J I HIH Joy Koob ... more space means more free- dom and privacy. 34 Lifestyles Far left; o matter where you live, you need a phone.

Eat- ing can be a hobby, a love, a way to combat stress, or a way to celebrate. There are people who eat just for the fun of it. The thought of food just makes them happy. These are the people who come home and sit down in front of the TV, prepared for the commercial breaks, so they can rush to the refrigerator or the local fast food joint. Some people who are unlucky in the love department would rather get to know food than the person of the opposite sex be- cause food doesn ' t judge, nag, ar- gue or complain. Food is a true friend. It can ' t talk back! On the rebound of a problem, argument or hectic situation, many turn to food as a pacifier. Eating helps them to relax and forget about things for a while. There ' s no better way to cele- brate than eating with friends and family, whether it be for a birthday. Thanksgiving, Christ- mas or a plain ol ' get-together. At college, these ways to in- dulge in food are always in play. When we first entered lUP as freshmen, we all had eating hang-ups. We wanted home cooking, but realized our tastes would change as we were intro- duced to cafeteria food. Along with all the starch and grease came the calories, and eventually the pounds, which is all part of the infamous Freshman 151 Debbie Saly, an upperclass- man. doesn ' t want to gain weight even if she isn ' t a freshman. She says, I ' ll try any diet to see if I can do it. And as for Stacey Ye- lich, she says, Food is my life. I live to eat and eat to live. Ordering out also became the craze when first entering IIP, and it is still one of the fastest and most popular ways to eat. Take-out pizza and subs satisfied the late-night munchies, espe- cially for Debbie Karla, who likes ordering pizza or making runs to 7-Eleven every other night. Deb- bie Echon counts her change when she ' s low on cash, so she can order out. And for those peo- ple who live off-campus, their cupboards are stocked for the se- mester with the ever-popular macaroni and cheese. Senior Kathy Steele says, 1 like to eat something fast and easy, that I can make in a matter of ten minutes. Jennie Castiglione has her rea- sons for eating differently. She is a health nut. She says, My roommate gets hungry for pizza, and I ' d rather have a can of green beans. Besides, there ' s only 80 calories in a can. I also eat whole wheat bread. To top it off, she takes vitamins, and says most people don ' t care what they eat. No one really knows what they put in their bodies. So you see, food is all around us. We eat because it ' s the thing to do. And you only live once, right ' ' Why not enjoy what you like to eat, even if it includes junk food. .And remember, no matter what your eating habits are, if college food has left a bad taste in your mouth, it ' s always great to go home and have some real home cooking! -Amy Mazutis Food is a true friend.

The Reason For Being At lUP Most students look for- waid to the end of the semester so they can re- lax and have fun over the break. But before they can unwind from a semester ' s stresses, students must survive FINALS WEEK! Finals week means different things to different people. For some students, final examina- tions represent a last-ditch effort to earn a certain grade. Some stu- dents view finals just as they would any other test, except more tests are scheduled in a tighter time period. Still others see finals week as a vacation from the routine of classes and spend the time socializing. The majority of Il P students seem to take finals week serious- ly though. Kathy Rosick, a junior commu- nications media major, said, I organize myself for finals. I start about two weeks before the tests, and take one class at a time. First, 1 complete all my assign- ments (papers, etc.), then I con- centrate on tests. 1 read all chap- ters at least a week before finals week then I start studying for my first finals. Matt Kizak, a sophomore studying human resource man- agement, also prepares himself in advance for finals week. 1 outline my chapters, take notes from the book and then compare book notes and class notes. Then I study and I review- right before the test. 1 try to orga- nize myself ahead of time, but I usually cram for unimportant classes. Many students find that their study habits change once they have experienced the stress of finals week. Pattie Booze, a sophomore journalism major, said she no longer studies the same way she did while a freshman and in high school. Now 1 try to get things done early and space them out. I need complete quiet while I study— no TV or radio in the background. I also do my hardest or least favor- ite subjects first. Jeff Rabak, a freshman pre- med student, has also learned to study in advance. I started studying a week be- fore finals began. 1 studied ap- proximately 10 hours a day. Some students try to put off studying as long as possible. Most people have heard about all- nighters, all night cramming sessions, before they came to col- lege; and some people carry on the tradition once they arrive. Phil Silvio, a sophomore study- ing computer science, said. I cram for finals. I don ' t get a chance to really relax all week except for going to the cafeteria ' s snack nights with my friends! Dave Eshenower, a senior fin- ance MIS major, said, Usually I go three or four nights without sleep. Unfortunately, I struggle to stay awake during the tests; but somehow 1 usually find a way to pull a decent grade on most of the finals. Regardless of their own per- sonal studying preferences, all of the students agreed that every- one must find a studying style that best meets his or her own needs and abilities. —Stacey Bell Studying 39 Keith Layten had an inter- esting costume to model for Halloween. Have A Nice Holiday! Children usually stop get- ting excited about Hal- loween when they are 12 or so. When freshmen enter college they are surprised to see what a fun holiday Halloween can be for young adults. Dorms and private houses are decorated with jack-o-lanterns, paper ghosts, vampires, skeletons and posters of ugly witches are on almost every door. There are cos- tume parties, where even shy people feel free to mingle while their identities are concealed. Costumed IIP students can be seen wandering around campus and the Indiana area. These ugly creatures are even seen uptown. Haunted houses are held to raise funds for needy groups while entertaining people of all ages. IL ' P students are proud to make and perform in these houses, as both students and townspeople pay to go through them. The RHA-sponsored house, held in Whitmyre Hall, had the theme Your Worst Nightmare. In order to enable the crowds of people to enjoy it. the hall stayed open an e.xtra hour. This Halloween happened to fall on a Saturday, which intensi- fied the carefree feeling that most people seemed to feel. The weather helped too. Orange, yel- low and red leaves were on the ground, yet it warmed up a little for about a week to make this Halloween perfect. Thanksgiving break gave many students the relaxation that they needed after so many weeks of haid work. Before leav- ing for home, a lot of students enjoyed a buffet-style Thanksgiv- ing dinner at the cafeterias. Almost everyone brought Christmas decorations back with them. Doois, windows, porches and trees all sparkled with strings of lights. The Christmas tree lighting ceremony was held in front of Sutton Hall on Decem- ber 3. Christmas songs were sung by hundreds of people including b Come, All Ye Faithful, Joy to the World , ■■HarkI The Herald Angels Sing and Deck the Halls. Almost everyone sang along to the carols. As usual, during finals week the Co-Op Store had a sale on all IIP clothing. Friends and family received gifts like sweatshirts, glasses, mugs and license plates. In a sort of pre-Christmas spirit many parents sent support bas- kets and fruit baskets through the RHA. The gifts came at the perfect time, when thousands of students were starting to feel the pressures of finals. In the middle of January, peo- ple returned with twice as much luggage, full of new sweaters, ra- dios, games and other gifts. Most students were anxious to return. The break was needed after fin- als, but by the beginning of Janu- ary most students were starting to miss life at ILP. Returning to school was an event to look for- ward to. — Tara Dimirsky The gifts came at the perfect time 40 Lifestyles Holidays Right: Nimble fingers of a caf worker keep the silverware coming.

C il Edkw College work-study is a popular program at lUP. i CulEakin Trying To Find A Balance The cim ensus among man people in Indiana is that this town would be dead without lUP. Many IL ' P students attest to this philoso- phy, but their interpretation is quite different. Not only do IIP students pa- tronize and support local busi- nesses, but their parents often do the same during breaks, week- ends, football games and special events. Local establishments ap- preciate the business that lUP draws and can rely heavily on this business for profit. But how- many times can a person walk into an establishment only to be assisted by an IL P student ' ? Chances are . . . quite often. With increasing tuition and de- creasing aid available, many stu- dents join the part-time work force in order to subsidize loans from PHEAA, private banks or Mom and Dad. But if a student is wise, he can earn more than a paycheck; along with the money can come responsibility and experience. The experience a student gains in a wisely chosen job can sur- pass the requirements of being just a resume-filler. Often, the general business knowledge gained in addition to the exper- tise one learns in the specific field may give that ever neces- sary edge sought after by so many prospective employers. However, not all IIP students are able to travel outside the con- fines of our university to an off- campus job. In these cases, cam- pus jobs become the logical and profitable alternative. With over 150 campus offices, a student can have the opportunity to work, live and study within a two- or three-block area. College work- study is a popular program at IL ' P. .Approximately 1350 stu- dents are on federal payroll and 950 students are on state payroll per semester. Each office pays a student out of federal and state funds allocated to the office ' s budget. Campus employers rely heavily on the student body for much of their work force. Once again, if a student is wise, he may be able to use his campus employ- ment for experience as well as a pay check. So the next time you go to the mall, grocery store, bank, gas sta- tion, restaurant or any of the col- lege offices, take a look at the staff of the establishment— there is a good chance that an ILP face may be part of that staff. .Although not every ILP stu- dent can or will work during a semester, a great number of them will work during extended breaks. Their reasons for working mirror those of students who work while at campus: I need spending money. I have a loan payment due every month. I have to help out my mom and dad. My rent is due at the end of every month. I didn ' t get very much aid. I didn ' t get a red cent from the government. I need money. PHE.A.A screwed up again. ILP working students are an increasing majority and may turn out to be among the best quali- fied employees when they graduate. —Jeff Moran Working Students 43 t- Left: Bright colors in sweaters and skirts were popular Above: The HP Fashion Group struts their stuff. Doug MarcA 44 Lifestyle ... so I J ust grab the first thing I see in my closet. Going In And Out With Style Fashion on campus re- flects a wide variety of reasons at H ' P, but the most overwhelming reason seems to be comfoit. Eric Koller, a junioi- marketing major, said his waidrobe consists mainly of blue jeans and sweatshirts. I usually get up five minutes before my class starts, so 1 just grab the first thing 1 see in my closet, he said. Tricia Tracey, a junior major- ing in computer science, said she likes to wear skirts because she is most comfortable in them. 1 don ' t like jeans, she said. They just don ' t look right on me. John Kennedy, a senior biology major, .said once the temperature hits 65 degrees, you ' ll never see him in anything but shorts. I live in them in the summer, but when it ' s cold out, I don ' t care what I ' m weaiing, as long as it ' s warm! he said. Kelli Neyman, a freshman, said she tries to keep up with the latest styles. I like acid-washed jeans, or whatever they ' re calling them now, and big bulky sweaters, she said. It ' s tough, though, be- cause 1 have to buy my own clothes, and I don ' t always have the money to buy what 1 want. Kelli admits her biggest down- fall is buying accessories. Even if I ' m just wearing jeans, I like to dress them up with jewelry, she said. 1 spend a lot of money on earrings and shoes. I ' ve got millions of them. Ed Critchlow, a sophomore ma- joring in elementary education, had a different outlook about fashion. 1 don ' t care what I look like when I go to class, so it doesn ' t matter what I wear, he said. Kris Carpenter, a junior, said she used to think people dressed boring at IIP. I ' m from Philly and people there dress a little wilder, she said. But 1 guess it all depends on what makes you feel good and what you ' re most comfortable with. —Nancy Roenigk Joy Koob Top: Everybody loved oversized sweaters and pants. .Kbo e: The casual look is still in .

Even for students who may not have access to their own cars on campus, road trippers somehow always manage to get to their destinations at the end of the highway. Beth is the perfect example. A college sophomore, her goal this year is to visit a different place every weekend. Although she doesn ' t have a car on campus, she does manage to reach her destinations. One particular weekend, Beth decided to visit Maryland. But she had no transportation. She scheduled a bus for a Friday af- ternoon, and the night before she noticed a sign in the library: Riders needed to Baltimore D.C. area. What terrific luck!! She ran to the nearest phone. So much for the bus. A new road trip was in the works, and this one looked much more prom- ising. After all, buses are no fun. Chances are slim that bussers will be able to enjoy themselves on a long trip, especially if riding alone. But a trip with a friend, or even with someone unfamiliar who has offered a ride always leaves road trip entertainment open to just about anything. Be- sides, it ' s always interesting to get to know someone who ' s going in the same direction— you ' re bound to have something in common. Beth enjoyed her ride to Mary- land with the same person who had once been a stranger. Beth enjoys hitching a ride with someone going in the same direc- tion, and looks forward to it quite often. As a matter of fact, Beth has become addicted to road-tripping almost every weekend. It ' s the best way to GET away, she says with a smile. Getting there can be half the fun. Even if there ' s no one in par- ticular to visit at the end of a road trip, the trip itself can often be worth the long drive. It ' s a release, said lUP junior Joy Koob, who emphasized the all- too-frequent need to roadtrip. It ' s a get-away from school, she said. Perhaps the most popular of all reasons to roadtrip is for a fun vacation over spring break. I ' m just going all over— lots of places, lots of people to see, said lUP senior Gayle Schmidt. Gayle ' s major road trip will include vis- its Niagra Falls, eastern Pennsyl- vania and Georgetown. Also popular over spring break are road trips to various beaches almost anywhere between the Jersey Shore and Daytona Beach. Party vans and buses are always available for anyone who packs a bikini and a beer mug, and is ready for an always-fun road trip to the many sandy beaches that anxiously await college students during spring break weeks— which begin as early as the last of February and end as late as March 31. Whenever your spring break, or whenever the urge to road trip hits, remember: you are not alone. —Amy Thewes ?W;J« Party vans and buses are always available for anyone who packs a biki- ni and a beer mug .... !

This year alone they ' ve gone to Niagara Falls and many places in Pittsburgh such as Phipps Conserva- tory, Carnegie Museum and David Lawrence Convention Center. They also support skiing trips, ice skating and rock climbing with the area. CRS ' main goal is to provide enough ways for students to enter- tain themselves at the smallest cost possible. Although there are always movies or parties to go to, CRS does out-of-the-ordinary things to inter- est people in other activities. The activities can range from highly physical to highly education- al. But whatever area it ' s in, the activity is more likely to catch atten- tion and keep it. With the lack of city activities in Indiana, people can go to the city through CRS. CRS came about several years ago as a consolidation of different programs, said Dennis Hulings, di- rector of Hadley Union and campus recreation. It is supposed to coordi- nate different activities on campus. Hulings also said that when the plans were being made for the Had- ley Union Building, the recreation center was taken into account. The rec center is a convenient way to exercise and lose a few pounds. The proximity to campus is a definite plus. Recently, CRS has had more and more people responding to its ser- vices. Hulings said attendance grows every year. More people should take advantage of what CRS offers— fun and relaxation at a cheap price. And who couldn ' t use both? —Amv Thewes The ac- tivities can range from highly physi- cal to highly education- al. Above: Siagara Falls was on the agenda twice this year for CRS.

His tour was one of the most heavily guarded visits with protection everywhere along the route. Nationally, the federal courts barred an abortion law- requiring minors to notify parents or obtain a couit ' s peimission be- fore having an abortion, stating that it is an unconstitutional violation of a juve- nile ' s right to anonymity. The National Football League set its strike date for Sept. 22 if negotiations couldn ' t be reached with the owners. Due to the recent .AIDS scare, many college campuses have now added condoms to the other items that can be bought in the local vending machines. Sponsors of the condoms in the vending machines say that the machines provide anonymous, convenient 24-hour access to the condoms because many of the sexual encounters are unplanned and spontaneous. Local The search still continued for the arsonist suspected of setting fires which plagued the Indiana area during spring and summer. Sept. 17 marked 200 years after the signing of the constitution and Indiana celebrated. Some of the festivities in- cluded a Liberty Pageant, a walking tour and a parade. State law enforcement agencies were cracking down on usage of fake IDs. .Ma.ximum penalties for the forging of IDs is 10 years imprisonment and or a $25,000 fine. The maximum penalty for tampering with records is five years in jail and or a 510,000 fine.

National Nationally, the good news for college students was that student aid would be cut less drastically due to a package that was being worked out by Congress and the President. A proposed bill would restrict Pell Grands to freshmen and sophomores and allow only juniors and seniors to be eligible for Guaranteed Student Loans. The reason behind this was to minimize student loan defaults and to help low-in- come students finance college.

Every weekend and throughout the week, stu- dents can choose from movies on cam- pus or in the local theaters. Besides its Activities offering of recent and classic movies, the Activities Board consistently of- fered new and innovative ways to keep us entertained, such as two all-night film festivals. Twister and Pictionary Tournaments, a full-scale beach party, and a substantial number of comedians and bands. If these events weren ' t __ enough to keep one in motion, cultural events could always be found. Lectures, operas, plays, musi- cals and art shows abounded during the yeai ' . Perhaps one of the most popular or at least most visible of all activities was the lUP Marching __ _ Band. This year ' s band took its lively show to the other side of the state for a parade in Philadelphia honoring the 2l)0th anniversary of the U. S. Constitu- tion. The band could also be seen and heard at every football game, instilling spirit in the team when spectators were too numb to cheer.

Activities Editor: Veronica Crowe Members of the West Side Story cast practice their moves before the show ' s four night run. r Vr-livities Bill MiMaek Activities 57 Opera Depicts Labors Of Love A trying test of love was the basis for Mozart ' s comic opera Cosi Fan Tutte, performed by the lUP Music Theatre for two dates in November. Translated as Women are Like That, the opera provided a charming and contemporary view of the trials of romance, although the opera was written in the 1780s. With the help of Don Alfonso, an old bachelor played by Tracy P. Muchesko, and Despina, a chambermaid portrayed by Dana Scott, two men decide to find out exactly how much trust they can place in their fiancees. The fiance ' es, sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella, (Kimberly Dick and Diane Steiner,) became dis- traught when their betrothed (Erik Santos and Craig Cramer), act as if they ' d been called to war. Alfonso then introduces the women to two Albanians, who are of course the men in disguise. Although reluctant and stead- fast in their affections at fii ' st, with the help of Despina, the sis- ters heed her advice and Do unto them as they do unto you, and try to forget about their men. After a faked suicide attempt by the Albanians (who have now- switched women), the sisters take pity on them and succumb to their affections. The men lose their bet with Alfonso, while mourning that theii ' loves were untrue. As in most comedies, all even- tually turns for the best, the la- dies are told of the devious plot of disguises, and all are reconciled and happy. Although the opera itself was lengthy, the fast-paced action, lively libretto and eneigetic per- formances made this a smooth, enjoyable production. Steiner and Dick as the sisters were perfect characterizations of the forlorn lovers, and theii ' inner turmoil is easily identified with by the audience. Likewise, Santos and Cramer are consistently con- vincing and spontaneously hilari- ous as they melodramatically fake their suicides, and concede to their lovers ' infidelity. Not to be outdone by the main characters, Scott and Muchesko provided independently strong performances, and the scenes in- cluding them were some of the best of the performance. The show was directed by Dr. Sarah Mantel of the Music De- partment, who was able to bring out both the diamatic and vocal intensities and virtuosity needed to perform Mozart ' s demanding score. The show was polished and professional, and outstanding performances by all cast mem- beis were a high point which re- mained throughout the duration of the show. Cosi Fan Tutte was commis- sioned in Vienna in 1789, and Mo- zarts difficult and intense music is complemented perfectly by Lorenzo da Ponte ' s sharp libretto. The show ' s theme is one that re- mains within society today, and it is because of this that the opera was enjoyable and quite realistic. —Dana Smith Photos by Dotig Macek 58 . c .Activities Cosi Fan Tutte 59 Something Fun For Everyone Unfortunately, not every activ- ity offered at lUP can be cap- tured here, but things to do ranged from those which attract- ed the masses, such as homecom- ing ' s tailgating, to the more ob- scure events, such as AB ' s Wild Birds of Prey show in the HUB atrium. Dmig Macek Activities • Comedy Of Disguises In ' Twelfth Night ' Slapstick humor, talented young actors, and the writing of William Shakespeare all contrib- uted to the success of the The- ater-By-The-Grove production of Twelfth Night. The show ran in Waller Hall from November 12- 21. With 17 students in the cast and dozens more working on the artistic and production aspects of the show, Twelfth Night pro- vided an opportunity for both ma- jors and non-majors to become in- volved in the theater department. Auditions were open to all IIP students. Twelfth Night, one of Shake- speare ' s most popular comedies, is the story of Viola, a young woman w ho takes a job as a page to Duke Orsino, played by Matt Vendetti, after being shipw- recked off the coast of Illyria. In order to obtain this position, ' io- la, played by Cathy Plourde, had to disguise herself as a man . She called herself Cesario and gained the Duke ' s good graces and be- came his messenger. While in the Duke ' s service, Vi- ola finds herself torn between her growing love for the Duke and her duties as messenger to his beloved Countess Olivia, played by Amy George. Mean- while, the Countess finds herself becoming increasingly attracted to Cesario. In the end, Viola reveals herself and is paired with the Duke, while Countess Olivia falls for Viola ' s long lost brother, Sebastian, who has been pre- sumed dead after the shipwreck. As a diverting subplot, the hi- jinks of Malvolio, (Dave Kinkead) the Countess ' s steward; Maria (Ann Labar) her attendant: Fabi- an, (Audra Dibert) her page: Tes- te (Greg Rapp) the resident clown: Sir Toby Belch, (Kevin Strausser) a relative of the Countess; and Sir Andrew Ague- cheek, Toby ' s companion, played by Mike Marra, kept the audience entertained throughout the play, Malvolio ' s incessant put-downs and insults provoke the others to seek their good-natured revenge, and things get progressively com- plicated by the end of the show. Audiences particularly enjoyed this frantic aspect of the play, and responded well to the perfor- mances. Twelfth Night was di- rected by Barbara Blackledge, who has been working with with Theater-By-The-Grove produc- tions for many years. Blackledge described the play as full of top- sy-turvy inversions, and ex- plained that its title comes from a centuries-old custom wherein novice monks would change places with the abbot for one day a year on the twelfth night af- ter Christmas. This concept was well-demonstrated in Twelfth Twelfth Night, • a fall TBTG production.

This year the marching band had the opportunity to make the kind of mark that your children will someday read about, as the 200 member music and auxiliary unit proudly performed at Phila- delphia ' s We The People, 200 celebration, September 17-20, 1987, which marked the 200th an- niversary of the signing of the Constitution. During the celebration, the band marched in a nationally- televised parade before an audi- ence of more than 300,000 people in downtown Philadelphia, one of which included President Ronald Reagan, and served as the official band for a special session of the Pennsylvania General Assembly where it was applauded by such prominent public figures such as Governor Robert Casey and re- tired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Warren Buiger. I ' m very proud and honored that the I UP band was able to participate in this historic cele- bration; after all, there won ' t be another one like it for another 100 years, Dr. Charles E. Casa- vant, director of the band, said. Some of the other highlights of the 1987 tour which also put the lUP band in the spotlight include: a special indoor concert at North Penn High School in Landsdale, Pa., a noontime performance at Baltimore ' s Inner Harbor, the lUP-Towson St. football game in Towson, Md., the Eagles vs. New Orleans Saints professional foot- ball game in Veteran ' s stadium, Philadelphia, and an exhibition at a large high schol competition at Whitehall High School in AUentown. In addition to making national history, the lUP band has added new pages to its own proud histo- ry, which covers more than half a century. Since it was first organized by Mr. D.O. Slyker as a 60-piece non- marching ensemble at the Indi- ana Normal School in 1921, the band has steadily grown in size and spirit to reach the level of excellence audiences enjoy today. During the 1960s, Dr. Daniel DiCicco became director of the band, which performed at such major events as the Boardwalk Bowl in 1968 when lUP played the University of Delaware, and at a Colts-Packers professional football game in Baltimore. His band was billed a marching band with a show sound, playing tunes from West Side Story, The Sound of Music, and TV themes and marches which were arranged by Charles Davis. DiCicco commented that his fa- voi ' ite show didn ' t involve the use of instruments at all; it was done with barbershop-style singing, which proves the versatility of the band. In 1976 Dr. Charles Casavant Jr., son of a nationally known field technician, took up the ba- ton as director of the marching band, and more than 65 years af- ter its first peiformance, the band continues the spirit and drive that was established by Di- Cicco ' s band and the bands be- fore his.

Ptiolas by Jim WikeHeld 75 i40 Although we may not always re- member it, academics are the primary reason we ' re here at lUP. Stu- dents at lUP have over 50 majors from which to choose, and have opportuni- ties to enhance their formal studying through internships, cooperative educa- Academics tion programs, and exchange programs with schools around the world and throughout the United States. Many of our experiences and activities can also benefit us academically. Many students receive practical experience through jobs on campus and on-campus intern- ships, while other students benefit from work-study positions. One of the most interest- ' ——— ' jj g aspects of aca- demics at lUP is the student and professor ex- change programs. Each year lUP hosts professors from universities in countries such as Nigeria, India and China. Like- wise, lUP served as host for 424 students from 64 coun- tries such at Thailand, India, China and Malasia. Adult and handicapped stu- dents also play an important role in academics, and the numbers of these students continue to grow each year. Of course, academics are not all smiling statistics. Students are endlessly con- fronted with the problems of schedul- ing, drop add, and finding a quiet place to study. These same problems confront students at lUP ' s two branch campuses in Kittaning and Punxsutawney, who after a year come to the main campus in Indiana to further their academic studies. Academics Editor: Carl Eakin Concentration is the kev as these students put their iS minds in motion during a lecture. ' :sS-Mf? S ' V 76 Academics Academics 77 Academics ' jpljQfsSL - ' .m The lUP Council Of Trustees k he Council of Trustees is a group made up of eleven H members, two of which are alumni and one being a student. They do many things on campus. The recommendation and retention of lUP ' s president is approved through the coun- cil. They also establish the university broad policies and approve them, as well as approve academic degrees, poli- cies in student conduct, use of institu- tional facilities, programs and academ- ics, and organizational units. The Council of Trustees approves lUP ' s budget request and the annual budget. All fees except the student ac- tivity fee and tutition are established through the council. Ten members of the council are ap- pointed by the governor and approved by state senate. A committee on campus recommends three to five names to the chancellors office. The prospective members are then interviewed, and a recommendation is sent to the gover- nor. If the senate approves, the student becomes a member of the council. The responsibilities of the council have changed over the years, said IIP president Dr. John Welty. In 1875, when the Indiana Stae Normal School opened, it was a private, non-profit organiza- tion. Then in 1927, the school became Indiana State Teacher ' s College. There have been modifications to fit the needs of each stage of the universi- ty. The last major modification, said Welty, was when the State System of Higher Education was established. The council has been involved in many major activities at IL ' P. The ap- proval and development of the cogener- ation plant was largely done by the council, as was the Capital Campaign, which was designed to raise money for the foundation for lUP. .Also, the people chosen for honorary doctorates are ap- proved by the council and recruited lat- er from help with lUP ' s various other programs. In the future, the Trustees will be performing their usual duties, along with working with Welty in the plans for the university. We ' ve been fortunate to have a strong group of trustees, said Welty, to support the university in progress made over the last few years. —Amv Thewes The IIP Council of Trustees.

Trustees 79 Academics Back to school Adults Hit The Books I Iberta Omundson gets up at HB 6:15 every morning. She B showers, eais and is out the I door on her way to college by ' 7:30. Her day consists of classes and her work-study job in lUP ' s Publications office until 4:30 p.m. She returns home to fi.x something to ear. rest a little bit and study. Alberta Omundson is a 46-year grandmother and one of the many adults who has made the decision to return to school. ■ ' I ' m doing it just for fun, Omundson said. It seems that people my age have quit trying to learn new things in life. Not me. I want this stimulation and challenge of learning. It makes me feel good about myself. Omundson started taking classes and working part-time at Publications in January, she majors in English and is married with three grown children and one 0-year-old grandchild. ■ My son, Jeff, who is 14 and still living at home, thinks it ' s really neat that I ' m going to school, she said. My other son and daughter, who no longer live at home, have mixed feelings. Omundson said she receives the most support from her husband. Ken. At the beginning he was against it. she said. But he understands that it ' s very important to me. and he supports me now. He and Jeff pitch in to help me with the housework now. I still cook, but they do the cleaning up afterwards. I ' ve had to rearrange my life a little better so that everything gets done, but it ' s nothing that I regret. In fact. I ' m thriving on it, Omundson said she doesn ' t feel out of place in her classes. I feel the younger students are my peers, she said. They have the same problems I do in getting classwork done. I don ' t think the younger students feel funny with me being in school, but what I do get is people my own age w ho want to know why I ' d be crazy enough to come back to school. What can I say ' ? I enjoy it. Even after I earn my degree, I ' ll probably keep taking classes. The degree is not as important as learning. I ' m not quitting life yet, and I rec- ommend that other adults don ' t either. If you ' re an adult considering returning to school, do it. Those two words, do it, are the exact words that stuck in Christine Johnston ' s head when she was consid- ering going to college. A 25-year-old. married secretary who work s full time at lUP ' s Counseling Service. Johnston said she was nervous about returning. It was something I just had to get over, she said. I wanted to do if, so I just took a deep breath and started calling for information to get started. Johnston said the biggest adjustment she had to make was getting used to having younger people around her all the time in her classes. I know I ' m not really that much older. she said. It ' s just something that I ' m aware of and need to get over, I used to feel insecure and uneasy be- cause of my age, but now I feel I ' ve learned to gear myself down and just enjoy the class. Johnston said she expected school to be harder and more academic than what she found it to be. I thought for sure I ' d find myself stuck in a class that I would feel totally lost in. she said. Instead I find myself so absorbed in it that sometimes I feel I need to restrain myself from asking so many questions. I think that returning to school is food for a person ' s self-esteem. It makes you feel good about yourself. All you can think of after you finish a class is. ' Wow, I did it. ' — Ward Allehach and Joann Halmes 80 . cademics If I grow up, I ' ll die. Louis W. Defflin)!

Internships Provide Experience t ' s the eternal paradox of I the college student. We ' re denied job after job because of lack of experi- ence, yet how can we get the experience without ever having a job? This question can be answered in the form of internships. More then 50 different programs are available at IIT for students in all 100 major subjects in more than 40 depart- ments. Each semester and throughout the summer, hundreds of students, usu- ally upperclassmen, temporarily em- bark on life in the real world. Although only 35 per cent of intern- ships are paid, most students happily take a position for the credits earned and for that all-important job pre-req- uisite: experience. You read the book, but it ' s a lot different seeing it in person, said Christopher Lee, a senior political sci- ence major who interned in Pittsburgh with republican State Senator Mike Fisher. Lee spent his spring internship reser- aching for a project involving the Janu- ary 2 oil spill on Pittsburgh ' s Mononga- hela River. He also traveled to Harrisburg weekly, spending three days with Fisher at the capital and learning how our state government operates. Like many student interns, Lee expects his internship to lead to a summer job working on Fisher ' s re-election campaign. Robert Lepley, an intern with the Cleveland Force Indoor Soccer team in Ohio, also spoke of the value of the experience. 1 learned a lot of practical stuff that I never learned in college, Lepley, a senior marketing major, said. Althoug he mis.sed the college life and had to get used to getting up each day for work, he said, You ' re actually doing stuff instead of just reading about it. Lepley spent his senior spring as a marketing intern for the Force, and worked in various departments includ- ing public relations, community rela- tions, sales, and accounting, as well as doing what he calls gopher work. I ' m the lowest on the totem pole, he said, but added that he has learned what it takes to run a professional sports franchise. Although Lepley doesn ' t get paid, he said this internship will directly relate to his future job in the group sales for sports marketing. Likewise, the practicality of the work done during an internship has aided senior journalism major Susan Reno in looking for a permanent job. Reno worked in the public relations de- partment at Harmarville Rehabilitation Center in Pittsburgh during the sum- mer of her junior year. Through this internship, she was able to expand on the skills she learned while at IIP. She worked with the pub- lications editor of the center, wrote news releases, contributed to an em- ployee newsletter, and designed, wrote and edited a brochure, among other duties. I think I got more out of that three months than I got out of three years of classes, Reno said. It ' s something you can ' t get out of a hook. —Dana Smith Internships od Academics, lUP Nursing Majors: •; I Calling The Shots v hat major has its students £|j| woi ' king directly with violent Mf ' patients, cancer victims and r AIDS victims? What kind of student would actually want to work directly with any of these people? IL ' P students do this twice a week during the clinical care portion of theii ' student nursing careers. Student nurses learn about home health care, nuising home patient caie, pediatrics, obstetrics, medical and sur- gical duties and managerial duties at various area health-care facilities. Barb Stelma, a senior nursing major, talked about her typical day dui ' ing clinical. We have to get up early to get ready and travel however far away we aie assigned, providing our own transportation. Once we get to the site, we read the duty nurse ' s reports, then begin our own assessment of the patient. After the assessment, we are responsible for dispensing the patient ' s prescribed medication and then begin morning care, which included bathing and feeding. Our days are not really typical, Stelma said. .Any number of things could happen during a day, from help- ing patients ' relatives to sitting with confused patients. lUP nursing majors spend eight hours a day, two days a week in health care facilities. They spend about nine hours a week in class and are expected to practice in learning labs during the week. In oui ' second semestei ' sophomeie year we begin practicing on manne- quins, giving shots and doing intraven- eous work, Stelma said. We also are expected to use the computer lab and programs about disease symptoms and diagnosis. We also have a big-buddy program where an upperclassman helps the newly capped sophomore nursing major. From mock patient care, nursing ma- jors move into the nursing homes, psy- chiatric wards and hospitals, being con- fronted with despondent patients, violent patients and AIDS victims. We are assigned one patient and we try to communicate with them. It takes a while, but you do get them to trust you. Soon after the patient begins look- ing for you on the days you come with their hair combed. But clinical care isn ' t always easy. Student nui ' ses have to face violent pa- tients and AIDS victims. One of my friends who worked at Torrence was checking on patients in a security ward when she was slammed against the wall, Stelma said. We do have to watch, but we realize this could happen to anyone. I have had to work with AIDS vic- tims, but it is not as scary. My patients are so weak from the diseases AIDS opens the body to that they can ' t hurt us. I haven ' t h ad problems with my pa- tients, but others have, Stelma said. Some are hateful and don ' t care about the safety of their caretakers. You have to watch these patients. The nursing program is an expensive learning experience. We spent about $250 the first three semesters on books. After that we spent about $100 for books each semester of the junior and senior years, Stelma said. We also have to buy an assess- ment kit including our stethescopes for $60. But then we have to buy our uni- forms and pay for standardized tests to piepaie for the state boai ' ds. The nursing program is not all work and no play, however. There is a na- tional nursing fraternity on campus, a state student nursing club and nursing students hold a wine and cheese party to celebrate the end of the year. —Peter R.

By listening to these young future teach- ers, one can sense a kind of reminisc- ing. But there is also a strong sense of determination. Student teaching is a different expe- rience for everyone. Dave Godissart, a communications education senior, called it a hazing into the profession. Godissart chose teaching because of a responsibility to educate people. The American public is not trained to the high degree of liteiacy it should be, Godissait said. He mentioned his interest in theater as a reason for choosing communications education. Godissart claimed student teaching takes up 24 hours of his day. I get about five hours of sleep a night, he said. They ' re (the students) a riot, he said, but it ' s still hard wwk. Godissart said teaching is a large amount of responsibility and that edu- cation majors don ' t lealize how much until they actually teach. He said the training is good, although it ' s stilted because it ' s not the real world. Student teachers still have a cooperative teach- er who acts almost like a professor, and Godissart says student teachers are one notch under ihtni. Godissart di-sn ' t think there is much differen ' between kids today and when he was in school. . nd al- though he thought being behind the the desk would be a nice experience, he finds he still has work to do, such as grading. Jackie Quadei ' , an eaiiy childhood education major, enjoys the fact that she gets children fresh — right from the beginning. She watches their ' pro- gress as they grow from nothing intd something she has a hand in creating. Children today know more at a youn- ger age because they are forced to grow- up faster-, Quader- said. They ' re not as naive. I want to be a teacher because in our profession, we need better teach- ers, Quader remarked. I can better the education of younger- childer-en by giving the fullest potential to my pr-ofession. She described student teaching as cramming for a test every single night. .All she does, she said, is sleep, eat, and drink. However, it pays off because Quader feels older-, more ma- ture, and r-esponsible, becauese she is in charge of the students ' education. Sometimes it can be a bit scary when she feels she ' s cheating them. Quader said she feels like she ' s cheating her students when she doesn ' t do her best. Student teaching to Quader- is prepa- ration for the real thing. The students can be a pain and test your patience. she said, but usually they ' r-e curious and fun. Julie Dittrich, who taught secondar-y biology education, says her students were great. Generally they ' re all real nice and are always talking to you about current social issues, she said. They always know- all the new music. Julie liked teaching at the high school level because of the challenge it presented. She said high .school stu- dents are more on top of things, and their- curiosity makes them question more ideas. For Dittrich, education is one of the biggest concerns in .-Xmerica because young people are our furture. She considers student teaching an internship for teachers. She said you are treated like staff; a full-fledged teacher. It ' s a great learning experience, Dittrich said. Diane .Miller is an elementary educa- tion major who feels teaching is a very rewarding pr-ofession. It takes special people to do it, she said. .Always remember what it ' s like to be sitting in the classroom. Miller said, and added that keeping in touch is important. Student teachers at UP, whether they realize it or not. are keeping in touch with more than just their stu- dents. They are in touch with two dif- fer-ent worlds: college and a secondary or elementary school. Because of them, we can have better knowledge of what our future holds.

OO Academics Academics Scheduling made simple Students Call For Classes IP experimented this year with registration by tele- phone in an effort to make scheduling easier. Fred Sehring, lUP ' s assis- tant registrar, said that telephone reg- istration will enable touchtone phones to replace computer terminals that are presently used for scheduling. Students enter their social security and personal indentification number at their scheduled time. According to Sehring, there will also be a make-up time for students who can ' t get through or miss their time. It will eliminate the student having to go to the site and stand in lines, Sehring said. Another advantage is the opportuni- ty to drop or add classes any number of times within a 24-hour period of the scheduled appointment time. During the fall semester, 548 stu- dents registered by phone for the spring semester. The phone system was overloaded the first day, but registrar Donald Seagren and many students con- sidered the trial run a success. The remaining 452 students that took part in the trial run either chose to go through the standard registration pro- cess in the Blue Hoom of Sutton Hall or could not get through the tied-up phone lines. The registrar ' s office polled the par- ticipants and got 00 per cent response. The results were fair, Sehring said. The average rating was 4.15 out of 5 points for student .satisfaction, he said. in April, approximately 2,400 stu- dents considered the trial run a success tried to register by phone. Tentatively the system will be used campus-wide in the fall for Spring 1990 or Spring 1990 for fall. —Pat lie Booze and Laura Papinchak Atxne left: Rearranging a schedule, a common sight during the scheduling period, ieft; Sometimes the process becomes so overwhelming the only solution is sleeping.

But imagine being over 8000 miles f rom home and adjusting in a completely dif- ferent world. IIP, with the most active foreign student program in the state of Pennsylvania, strives to accommodate the needs of its over 400 international students. They come from Sweden, France, Kngland, Africa, India, and the list goes on and on. Some are interested in finishing their education at lUP and some simply use their opportunity to learn more about America. Cheung King Wang is from the Brit- ish colony of Hong Kong. Like many international students, there was an initial problem with the language barri- er. It took Cheung a long time to make friends. He feels that Hong Kong is much more conservative, and had a hard time relating to the more relaxed attitude of young Americans. I feel free here . . ., Cheung says referring to his new-found indepen- dence. Cheung plans to finish his edu- cation at lUP. Fabrice Picon is from the city of Nancy in France. Here he is working on his masters degree in communications. Fabrice feels that the United States is much more conservative than his home in France and remarks that Indi- ana, especially, is that way. Working at the radio station, WIl ' P, Fabrice ex- pected to meet mostly Americans as friends. Although he enjoys the open-minded attitudes of his co-workers, he adds, . . . because of the programs here, most of my friends are international students, like me. These programs are organized by the International Students Club. He makes the further observation that there is a strong identity among the international students, especially the Europeans and Latins. Leaving in May, after finishing his masters, he will return to the L ' niversi- ty of Nancy to pursue his masters in English. Vincent Aderiye hails from the re- ' spectable West End of London, En- gland. Vincent has make many acute observations of Americans since his ar- rival. It seems, he says, that Americans are intrigued by the international stu- dents, unfortunately not really enough to get to know them well.

ON AIR ith both a television and ■■■ radio station available, Mf students at lUP can bet- r ter prepare themselves to enter a fast-growing field. A 13-hour telethon produced by WIUP-TV benefitting the Salvation Army was the most rewarding project undertaken during Fall 1987, accord- ing to the station ' s program director, Meg Shuey. It was a big, big success, Shuey said. The telethon, under the direction of assistant program director and special projects director Bruce Huffman, raised more than $1,000 in private donations. It was a lot of work, but it was fun to do. A lot of us didn ' t know what to expect until it happened. In the end it worked out well and I ' m happy we did it, Huffman said. We do a lot of locally originated programming; we produce nine shows in all, Shuey said. We ' re a complete- ly student-run station. I think that ' s important because we have a lot of say in what we do, she added. There are more than 100 volunteer members at the station. They are needed just to make the station work, Shuey said. WIUP-TV produces two talk shows, news and sports shows, a music show and a cooking show and is an affiliate of National College Television (NCTV) which provides more programming for the station. The station ' s manager is Jim Ka- pustik. Their faculty advisor is Dr. Jay Start. WIUP-FM, on the other hand, orga- nized a news staff that is competitive with area commercial stations, Mike Streissguth, the station manager, said. The growth and stabilization of WIUP-FM ' s FM 90 News program, which began in January 1987, has be- come a great success, according to Streissguth. We ' re the only half-hour news show in the area, he added. The news team is certainly grow- ing and we plan to cover much more local news, news director Dan Won- ders said. WIUP-FM is licensed by the Feder- al Communication Commission and is a fully operational public service ra- dio station serving Indiana County. It is also a volunteer student-operated station with the exception of general manager and advisor, Gail Wilson, and its chief engineer. I would like WIUP-FM to be known as the only station of its kind in the area, offering Indiana County classical music, jazz, bluegrass music and classical rock music commercial- free, Streissguth said. We also have the area ' s only New Age music show and carry the Metropolitan Opera and Philadelphia Orchestra, he added. -Peter R.

Branch ' campuses are smaller and more individualized. Althouj h they are beneficial in many ways, there are dis- advantages also. Lisa Perfetto, a sociology major from Erie, attends the Kittanning campus. She feels main campus could help the blanches. Thei ' e is no bookstore and the library is not open on Sundays. Students at the branch campuses pay activity fees, but have nothing to show for it, says journalism major Kristy Pierce of Homei- City. They also have security problems at Kittanning, since some residence hall doors can be un- locked with an 1-card. There is also a lack of representation in the I ' enn, she .said. The student union at Kittanning is no bigger than a house. It contains two pool and ping- pong tables, a small color TV, vending machines and foui ' tables to eat on. It is not much bigger than a main campus residence hall lounge. Dann McDermott, an Altoona fresh- man majoring in math, stresses the need foi ' a bookstore at the branch cam- puses. He .says it gets to be a hassle to go back and forth to main campus to get books. And if a class is dropped, the student must go back to main to sell the book back and get a new one. Visitation hours are strict at Kittan- ning, says McDermott. No one may visit the other residence hall until noon, and they must leave by midnight on the weekdays and 2 a.m. on the weekends. Mike Tomera, an accounting major from Johnstown, .said at Punxsutawney they could add a better- library and cou- ple of residence halls. It ' s like going to high school, says Nick Duranko, a Punxsy graduate ma- joring in psychology. There are nr) mov- ie theaters and two shopping centers. The biggest thing to happen, he said, is the opening of a new r ' estaur-ant. Although there are many problems with branch campuses, a lot of people had good things to say about them. Pierce says, I ' m really glad 1 came here. She knows people and they are like a close-knit family. McDermott says, It gets you into the college scene slowly. He studies more since there is less to do. And, of course, there is always the Dungeon for hard-core studiers. The Dungeon is a very quiet place to study in the bottom of the academic building at Punx.sy. Tomera said he spends a lot of time there because the library closes early. In spite of some of the problems at the branches, its advantages seem to outweigh its disadvantages, according to the students. The branch campuses benefit those who need the academic atmosphere of college life —Awv Thewes Atxne Left: Huslne major .Amy Maz .a studies in her riMim at Ihc KillanninR Campus F r l,pft:Thf Kittanning Hcimecnming Queen.

Branrh (ampuses 95 The Winning Edge ROTC Common military skills, such as defensive fighting positions, are taught during ROTC lab 96 kk ention the phrase ROTC to most £■ lUP students and many of them W will conjure images of individ- P uals in camouflaged uniforms with short hair marching around campus. Yet these images repre- sent the surface of one of the most exten- sive academic programs offered at lUP. Since its introduction in 1953, ROTC has become increasingly popular. Now roughly 50% of the freshmen and 10 .. of all stu- dents on campus are involved in ROTC. If you want to find an officer training pro- gram larger than IL ' P ' s, chances are that you will have to look at the United States military academies. Where does all of the enthusiasm come from? There are several reasons the pro- gram is so popular. Much of the popularity stems from the fact that ROTC can be taken in lieu of the university ' s physical education requirements. Still another rea- son ROTC attracts such a volume of stu- dents can be attributed to just curiosity. It is a change of pace from other classes. The third, and most obvious, reason students are attracted to ROTC is to obtain a com- mission in the United States .- rmy. ROTC. which is short for Reserve Officers Train- ing Corps, makes is possible to become a second lieutenant. Upon successful com- pletion of the courses, cadets are made officers in either the regular . rmy. the Reserves or the National Guard. Like any other academic program. ROTC has its requirements. Students attend class for two hours and a lab for an hour and a half each week. The classes study anything from military history to leader- ship techniques. During the lab, cadets are put into different sections called compa- nies. .AH of the companies at lUP, includ- ing the branch campuses, form the War- rior Battalion. The labs are staffed and taught by cadets acting in various leader- ship positions. The activities conducted at lab range from the very military, like the basics of camouflage to the purely fun, such as the ice skating lab. Labs are not the only thing designed for fun. ROTC offers a variety of other inter- esting and challenging activities. They range from the bi-annual rappeling to the military ball. If these things are of no interest to the student, there are also sev- eral social clubs sponsored through ROTC. Not everybody who joins ROTC during their freshmen year will finish their senior year with a commission. The military life- style is not for everyone. Yet just because the majority of the students will not finish the program doesn ' t mean they don ' t learn anything. The experiences from ROTC can last a lifetime. Whether it is increasing your self-esteem or improving your ability to deal with people, ROTC can help. In the long run ROTC can give students the win- ning edge to be a success in all of their future endeavors, civilian or military. -Jeff Moran and Carl Eakin Left: Although camouflage is not the only thing ROTC has to offer it is a basic skill needed by any officer in the United States Army. Bottom left: ROTC provides the opportunity to practice public speaking skills by giving all cadets the chance to teach. Below: Rappeling is one of the biggest events of the year for students in ROTC.

Carl E Iun Academics 97 Sports can take a variety of forms at lUP. The most visible and publicized sport this year was the lUP football team, and the team didn ' t let anyone down as it went on to win the state title for the second year in a row against West Chester. The team also went on to a play-off game in Flori- Sports Editor: Pattie Booze Assistant: Joy Koob da for a bid at the national title. Fans even braved the minus-twenty wind chill factor to watch their team win the title at West Chester. Unfortunately. fan support did not extend to some of the other sports such as soccer, field hockey, basketball and baseball even though the women ' s basketball and gymnastics teams completed highly successful years. Op- portunities to partici- pate in sports were prevalent, as intra- murals were avail- able to all. Fraterni- ties and sororities, dormitories or just groups of friends teamed up to com- pete against one an- other in year-long in- tramurai sports. These intramurals as well as varsity sports made the seasons move quickly, and before we knew it, cross-country became winter and spring track, and football was long forgotten for baseball and Softball. These activities provided entertainment for the spectators and e.xercise for the participants. Student athletes must also maintain a quality academic standing, and for the excep- tional scholar-athlete, all-star status can be attained.

A rematch at West Chester for the state title ended in a 21-9 victory for the Indians. This win made lUP the only Division II team with 10 victories, a first for any Indian team. They went to Stan Celich concentrates on the game. Orlando, Fla., to meet Central Florida in the national playoffs but lost 12-10. Several players had an out- standing season.

For his three-year career, Jackson posted 36 sacks for 245 yards, breaking the re- cord of 35 set by Jim Saslett. Tony Trave, senior wide re- ceiver, was also named to the ECAC Division II All-Star Team and AU-PSAC team.

JXiai Do ltenk ' 87 Season Spells Disappointment The lUP soccer team entered the season hoping to reverse the past two losing seasons. They fin- ished the year with a 7-10-1 record. The season did not open well for the Indians. They traveled to New Jersey for the Sunkist Glass- boro Tournament and dropped two games 2-1 to Longwood and Marshall. Next the team traveled to Penn State Behrand. They out- shot PSU 3 to 1 but still lost be- cause of defensive errors. The Indians lost their first two home games with a 1-0 loss to .Allegheny and a 4-0 loss to Divi- sion I Robert Morris. lUP finally ended their losing streak with a 3-1 win over visit- ing St. Francis. L ' nlike the previ- ous games, the Indians came out strong and dominated play. Soph- omore Cliff Wicks opened the scoring with a nice feed from ju- nior Demetrios Demetriades. In the second half the team came out flat and gave up a tying goal. However, they regained their composure and control of the game. Hammond scored the win- ning goal on a penalty kick and another for insurance on a solo run. The team won its second in a row at St. ' incent. Scoring for the Indians were Jack Pacalo, Hammond and Demetriades. We played a really good game. Everything seemed to click. The whole team had an outstanding game, said senior defender Scott Russell. Ne.xt the team came out of a hard-fought game against Gene- va with a 4-2 victory and their third straight win. The team started slowly but came back to win with goals by John Sharkey, Rich Whitmore, Wicks and Hammond. The Indians ' winning streak came to and end with a 1-0 loss to the West Virginia .Mountaineers. The team traveled to Blooms- burg and came away with a 3-1 loss. They opened their PS.AC sea- son with a 0-0 tie with California. The team returned to their winning ways with a 3-1 victory over conference rival Slippery Rock. Whitmore, Hammond and Sharkey scored for lUP. The Indians lost the ne.xt home game against regional rival Gan- non 4-0. The next home game w-as im- portant for lUP. If they won, they would clinch the western title and earn a trip to the state game. Unfortunately, lUP ran into a red-hot Lock Haven team and was totally outplayed 7-0. The Indians improved for the home game against Frostburg. They outshot the visitors 3-1 and won 2-0 with goals from Deme- triades and sophomore John Velich. The team exploded offensively against Westminster and won 8-0. Scoring for I UP were Wicks, Ye- lich and Tim Schoener with one goal each, and Whitmore and Hammond scoiing two and three goals respectively. Next lUP went into overtime with the University of Pitts- burgh-Johnstown and won 1-0 with a goal from Jack Pacalo. The last game of the season ended on a sour note. The Indians hosted Pitt and lost 4-0. The team will lose four start- ers to graduation. They are: for- ward Todd Hammond, midfielder John Sharkey, defender Scott Russell and goalkeeper Jeff Painter. Four lUP players were selected to play for the Western Pa. Inter- collegiate Soccer Conference All- Star team. Jack Pacalo played for the first team, and teammates Tim Schoener and Todd Ham- mond made the second team. Scott Russell made honorable mention. —Rob Lepley Top Row: Vince Celtnieks (coach), Tom Geis, Ron Hasinger.

Soccer 105 Women Capture PSAC Title The lUP women ' s basketball team capped its first ever PSAC championship, while head coach Jan Kiger was elected Coach of the Year. The Indians closed their sea- son at Pitt-Johnstown in a play- off appearance but lost 108-55. With their 17-14 season four play- ers hit the record books. Senior guard Patti Connaghan dished out 166 assists for the season and 499 career assists, good enough for the number one spot. She stands fourth in season steals with 80 and ended with 296 in her career. Margo Hinton, junior guard, had 100 steals for the sea- son and junior guard Leanne San- tacroce had 59. Hinton tied for second place in field goals for the season at 185. claimed the second notch with 234 career steals, and moved into ninth position with 15.1 average points. She also stands third in season scoring with 454 points and freshman center Sherri Leysock rebounded her wav into fourth position at 253. With a crew of achievers like this it ' s no wonder Kiger and as- sistant coach Joyce Maudie are so enthusiastic about their team. I feel fantastic about it, said Kiger. We wanted to let the se- niors have the best season ever and that was a motivation. It took time to pull together. The preseason wasn ' t so good and we lost games there in the second half of the season partly because of injuries (Hinton and Lightcap) but the contribution of the team brought it together. The Indians showed their play- ing ability by defeating Le.Moyne 68-65 and Kutztown 69-65 but lost momentum with losses to Charleston. 55-86. Robert Morris. 61-70. and St. Vincent, 74-88. The bright spot in their mauling of Davis and Elkins would have to sustain them through the ne.xt three losses. Gannon overtook the Indians 55-74 despite excellent play by Jan Lightcap (24 points. 13 rebounds). The Indians lost a pair of games at home to St. Francis. 64-76. and Bloomsburg. 61-67. Lightcap had top showings for lUP in both games with 16 points and nine rebounds against the Red Flash and 20 points. 12 rebounds against the Huskies. Leanne Santacroc-e ' s 15 points and Leycock ' s 16 rebounds helped their team to a 65-41 win over Millersville. Lightcap at- tained top honors with 21 points and 10 rebounds in a 70-03 loss to Mount St. Mary ' s. Hinton scored 22 points in a 70-93 loss to Pitt- Johnstown. The Indians played out a six- game string of victories against Edinboro and California, where Hinton scored 17 and 22 points respectively. Connaghan led the 82-61 win over Shippensburg with 21 points. Hinton ' s 24 points against Salem backed by Ley- sock ' s 15 rebounds left a 81-73 defeat for the Tigerettes. Hinton led the assault at Clarion with 24 points with Amy Gorda contribut- ing 13 rebounds. lUP smashed Slippery Rock with a 23-point effort by Leanne Santacroce. The Indians lost to Lock Haven 64-70. and again to Edinboro 77-87. At home the Indi- ans defeated California 77-70 while Connaghan canned 18 points. At Shippensburg. Leysock led the attack with 19 points, 1! rebounds. A three-game setback with losses to Maryland-Baltimore County. Clarion and in overtime to Slippery Rock sent the Indians home with a 13-13 record. lUP upped their mark to 17-13 with wins over Lock Haven and play- off wins over Lock Haven. 96-81. Bloomsburg 77-71 and a 68-.50 thrashing of Millersville for the conference championship. Our first goal of the season was to win, said Maudie. We thought back then we had the players and potential to pull it off. Everybody felt the enthusi- asm and the straight-to-heart talks helped spark us on to the championship. With the winning season, the conference crown and coach of the year award went to a very deserving Indians squad. The award (coach of the year) is absolutely zero compared to the championship. said Kiger. Her award is proof we have the best coach in the confer- ence. said Maudie. —Deborah K.

Joe Wojcik Away Games Obstacle For Team Doug Macek It was another exciting season for the lUP field hocl ey team, Led by coach Kofie Montgomery, it proved once again that it is not a team to be tai en lightly. The season was played mostly on the road. The season opener at St. Bonaventure resulted in a 2-1 lUP victory. Anxious to play Kutztown with a win under its belt, the team had a quiet bus ride home, for they lost 4-0. The following game at Frost- burg was also a loss, but the team sprang back to beat Chatham Col- lege with a 7-0 win. A tourna- ment in Salisbury, Md., left lUP with a 3-4 record. First was the close loss to Oneonta of New York with a score of 1-2. The second game was with Wesley College, with lUP beating Wesley 3-1. De- fending national champion Salis- bury was next, and after a close game the home team stole a 1-0 victory. At last it was time for lUP to play at home. The team hosted Mansfield in the rain, and in dou- ble overtime junior Kim Simon scored the only goal in the game for lUP. Bloomsburg, who won the national title, beat lUP 1-4. Next the girls hosted Millers- ville and lost 1-0. The three fol- lowing games against St. Bona- venture, Carnegie Mellon and Bethany College were all lUP vic- tories and the Lady Warriors were making a strong comeback in their division. After crushing Washington Jefferson 7-0, lUP was stopped by Shippensburg in a tight 1-0 loss. The rest of the season was spent on the road. They lost to Wittenburg of Ohio 1-0 in double overtime, then to Slippery Rock 2- 0. Cortland was another loss at 3- and it brought the team to East Stroudsburg, where the season closed with a 0-0 tie in double overtime. lUP is a Division II team, the toughest division in the United States. Every one of the losses except one were to teams that were ranked in the top 20 nationally. Kim Simon was asked to play in the All-Conference team, and Donna Walker was an All-Confer- ence Honorable Mention. Kim Si- mon and teammate Candace Gingrich were chosen as NCAA All-Regional Honorable Mentions. lUP had more Academic AU- Americans than any other college in the United States. Tracey Bow- er, Diana Reinhard and Becca Joyce received this award. Win- ners must maintain a GPA of 3.5 and start on the varsity team. Coach Montgomery has high hopes for next year. We are losing two players to graduation and we have a very strong junior varsity team, she said. —James Lewis 108 Sports ' - ' W H 9fit.f, - -tftf Row 1 (L to R): Kofie Montgomery (coach), Lori Peters, Kim Simon, Wendy Groeneveld, Candace Gingrich, Donna Walker, Pam Vanderau, Jo Beth Forney Row 2; Jami McKnight, Diana Reinhard, Tracey Bower, Terri Pagano, Julia Clark, Rebecca Joyce, Christy Minnix Row 3: Lauren Sedney (trainer).

Men ' s Season Brings Disappointment For lUP basketball players and fans the 1987-88 season proved to be unexpected, disappointing and bewildering. With seven veterans, six fresh- men and a transfer sophomore the roundballers finished the sea- son 9-18. The season began and ended with less than desirable outcomes. The Indians lost at Pitt-Johns- town 87-74 despite the efforts of junior forward Mike Matthews (28 points, 6 rebounds) and soph- omore forward center Frank Doug Macek Dicken (12 points, 7 rebounds). In the home opener against Fairmont State, junior center Tom Chaney ' s 16 points followed on the heels of Matthews ' 18 points and junior guard Paul Bur- nett ' s 19 points, but the Indians still suffered a 78-74 setback. The Indians headed into the third game against Glenville State. Shaking off their earlier misfor- tune, they handed Glenville an 80-65 loss. Chaney scored 16 points and grabbed 7 rebounds, and Matthews added 12 points with nine rebounds. Taking to the road, Beck ' s crew lost 86-67 to Duquesne where Todd Johns achieved a season-high 19 points. The Indi- ans claimed wins over St. Vincent in overtime, 74-63, Dyke, 86-79, and Point Park, 94-69. With losses at St. Francis, 71-69, and George Washington, 73-48, the Indians brought their record to 5-4. A 75-70 victory over Pitt-Brad- ford in the annual Christmas Tree Tournament was to be their last before a nine-game losing streak rocked the team. Kutztown overrode the Indians 75-70 in the next game of the tournament. Next lUP was burned by Philadelphia Textile 72-52 and Gannon 84-71 and pulled within three points against Edinboro, 76-73, and five at California, 70-65. Matthews topped his season FdT left: Tom Chaney attempts a shot. Left: Todd Johns slams one home. high field goal record at 14 against Shippensburg where they had another loss, 69-56. Clarion dished out a 72-68 loss to the In- dians, although Chaney had a great game, gaining 16 rebounds and 21 points. Matthews pumped in 10 for 10 at the foul line. Lock Haven claimed the last game in the Indians ' losing streak 73-56. lUP snapped that streak in a 73- 66 win over Edinboro. California defeated lUP 71-64. Shippensburg was next, beating the Indians 64-63 as did Robert Morris 55-51. Three wins over Clarion, Cheyney and Slippery Rock found the team working as a unit and realizing their poten- tial. The season ' s end found lUP with yet another loss 72-58 from Lock Haven. Head Coach Tom Beck also announced his resigna- tion after a 32-year coaching career. —Deborah K. Draksler tjj.-.e uali I 1 1 Rain Dampens Tennis Season Rain was a four-letter word for the lUP women ' s tennis team this year after it successfully stopped six matches. But the team ended the season with seven wins and four losses and placed fifth in the Pennsyl- vania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) championships. Head coach Jackie Albenze said the large number of cancel- lations hurt the team in the PSAC since states rely heavily on con- ference records both individually and as a team. Physically the team was pre- pared to play, but psychologically the rain hurt them, according to Albenze. They felt ill prepared, but I don ' t agree with them, Albenze said. I think sometimes we have so many matches that they are tired by the time we reach the state tournament. One reason .Albenze felt the team members were ready was because of this year ' s increased conditioning. I could see there was a differ- ence between our conditioning and our opponents ' at the end of the season. .Albenze said. The team started the season early during an eight-day train- ing camp that began a week be- fore classes. Practice lasted five or six hours daily. Natalie Musci, who finished her tennis career second in sin- gles at states and Lori Ludwig. who finished fifth, both felt the best part of the season was the way everyone pulled together during the PS.AC matches. By the time we got to states, people wanted to do their best, Musci said. We came together as a team, rooted for each other and actually meant it. The longer training camp and greater emphasis on team spirit is what pulled the team together, according to Ludwig. For Albenze. the matches against West Liberty and Slip- pery Rock were the most rewarding. The match with West Liberty was gratifying because earlier that morning the team lost to Charleston, 3-6, because they got tight and nervous Albenze said. But when faced by West Liberty, the team bounced back with a 6-2 win. Joe Wojdk lUP beat Slippery Rock 8-1 and Albenze felt the team had some of the best matches all season. .Albenze said with the gradua- tion of Linda Hanlon, Lori Ludwig and Natalie Musci. she is losing her most consistent players. The position I ' m losing is not critical, it ' s just the type of kid, Albenze said. She does feel there is a good nucleus coming back. .Albenze says the team will be young next year. Her two major goals for the next season are to have a win- ning record for her No. 1 player and to finish no lower than third at states. —Steve Robinson 112 Sports v - ; N N x - N A - s Vv .

Freshmen Basis Of ' 87 Team Hopes were riding high on nu- merous young faces that filled the 1987 women ' s volleyball ros- ter and in early practice sessions head coach Kim Johnson, in her second season, felt optimistic about the team ' s future. Johnson, along with first-year assistant coach .Mark Pavlik be- gan her first full effort at recruit- ing at the end of last year and landed some top talent in fresh- men Theresa Shellenberger, Stacy Markel, Karen Knaub, Tina Jenks, Molly Miles, Lisa Galanto and Carol Bufalini. Johnson was happy with the enthusiasm the freshmen players e.xhibited but was weary of the lack of upperclassman leadership. I don ' t really mind having so many new players, but we miss the leadership on the floor, Johnson said. Of course my team makes freshmen mistakes. We ' re inexperienced. But out of the practices emerged junior Tina Rauch who quickly jumped into the leader- ship role but more out of action rather than by talk, according to Johnson. Along with Rauch stood co- captain Diana Schwartz and out- side hitter Terry Deter. As the ' 87 season unfolded. lUP resembled a team with first year starters alongside players with intercollegiate experience. Johnson explained it would take time before communication would flow smoothly among the players. The Indians showed signs of that in the Juniata Tournament in which IL ' P emerged with a 2-3 record. lUP played well in the prelimi- nary round, defeated Westmin- ster 15-8, 15-0. The passing game which Johnson was looking to im- prove since their disappointing loss to Robert Morris a week ear- lier, showed considerable progress. We are going up against most- ly upperclassmen while we ' re de- pending on one or two on the court, Johnson said. The middle game proved to be Il ' P ' s biggest offensive weapon. Rauch combined with Markel overwhelmed opponents in some of Il ' P ' s wins. It will be the com- bination to watch next fall as Johnson is once again on the re- cruiting trail and is returning with a majority of the starters. Miscommunication dimmed HP ' s hopes of post-season play, but for a team comprised mostly of freshmen, a foundation for a strong team has been made. Considering the inexperience of our team and the newness of our offense, we are not far away from being one of the two teams going to states, Pavlik said. The improvement is there for a nice, solid nucleus for two or three years. lUP got some good individual performances from Rauch and Schwartz in the PS.AC Western Division championships in which they placed fifth. You just can ' t say enough about them, Pavlik said. Tina has been very consistent in the back row. Another plus was the play of Tina Jenks. In the match against Slippery Rock, Tina kept us in the game. She picked up where Karen Knaub left off. An injury to Knaub midway through the season looked as if it might handicap HP ' s middle game, but players off the bench filled the vacancy. The outside hitting of Terry Deter and Carol Bufalini that gave IIP some success this past season will definitely be part of the Indians ' arsenal next fall. —Louie Estrada Women ' s Volleyball 115 ■- -?

Al- though they started off on top, the season went on to end in dis- appointment as the team failed to qualify for Nationals. Coach Lou Sutton characterized the end of the season as unfortunate. Af- ter so many good races regionals was the worst meet of the year, Sutton said. The Indians ' first meet of the season took place at Old Domin- ion. There the team placed fourth overall hehind three Division 1 teams: The University of North Carolina defending their title, William and Mary, and Old Do- minion. The next four meets were dominated by ll ' P. Despite miser- able conditions of rain and mud. the lUP Invitational held at Mack Park found the Indians ' .- and B teams taking first and second places. This was the first time in the seventeen-year history of the race that this had happened. IIP won 11 of the 20 placed in the race with John Flaherty taking first place. The Indians moved on to the .Alfred Invitational in New York and took first in a big way. All thirteen IIP participants fin- ished within the top 20. The team finished til points ahead of run- ner-up Alfred University. A high point of the season was the Notre Dame Invitational. lUP placed first in the Gold Division which included 20 Division I. II and strong Division III teams. The Indians had never won this title before. lUP was led by co- captains John Flaherty and .Mike Patton who finished i:3th and 14th respectively. Coach Sutton said the two are outstanding runners Iwho] both stood a chance at .AU-American. Sopho- more .Mike Rose finished 19th, freshman Eric Shafer took 32nd place and senior Dave Williams placed 40th, rounding out iUP ' s top finishers. The next win at West Liberty State College saw Mike Patton winning over John Flaherty with a time of 26:59 to 27:01. The healthy competition between these two excellent runners not only caused them to run better races but also fueled consistently good times from the rest of the team. After losing only to Edinboro in East Stroudsburg the Indians were still in a very good position for the regional meet. Unfortu- nately the meet at Bryant College in Rhode Island spelled defeat for the men ' s team. The Indians placed fifth and were not chosen as a wild-card to attend Nation- als. John Flaherty once again led the team with a 1.5th place finish followed by .Mike Patton in 19th place. As senior Paul Prox point- ed out, the loss at regionals should not cause the graduating seniors to feel they had a poor season. They graduate leaving behind a great deal of good lead- ership, solid performances and goals for upcoming teams to shoot for in the future. .As coach Lou Sutton stepped down from his position and left the team in the hands of assis- tant coach Ed Fry. he left behind 20 years of experience and a win- ning average of 88.2% He will still be working with the team and like everyone else, he hopes that next year will see some good leadership emerge and a strong team bound for nationals created. —Joy Koob .. - ' 1st row: Eric Shafer, Sean Kelly, Tim Pilarski.

Men ' s Cross Country 117 Great Season Ends On Down Note lUP ' s women ' s cross country team faced many difficult meets this year and came out on top but, like the men ' s team, did not make it to Nationals. Weezie Ben- zoni, lUP ' s top runner, was invit- ed to Nationals individually and placed third, proudly represent- ing herself and lUP. Weezie was happy with her performance because it gave her a chance to show her pride in lUP and especially coach Ed Fry, who she describes as hei ' inspira- tion. A major- cause attributed to the team ' s failure to make na- tionals was that although they started the season with a great attitude, they seemed to lose con- fidence toward the end and as Weezie put it, Once you start doubting yourself, it can ' t happen. The first meet of the season at the California (Pa.) Invitational was also one of the hardest. The hilly course, made more difficult because of mud, consisted of a lar-ge number- of turns within the first mile. Despite these adver ' se conditions lUP ' s A and B teams took first and second places. Weezie Benzoni was the indi- vidual winner- followed by Patty Kinch (2nd), Sara Pickering (I3rd), Lisa Bonaccorsi (4th) and Lisa Scarfone (7th). The ll ' P Invitational was pre- dicted to be HP ' s race. The Lady Indians took first with a score of 135 points, 25 ahead of Ithaca who Coach Fry had noted as a serious challenge. The individual win- ners were Kathy Stec from Ship- pensburg with a time of 19:04:6 over Weezie ' s second-place finish of 19:14. The race was exciting and well-run because of the ef- forts of all the top runners who had to contend with rain and muddy conditions. At the Dickinson Invitational the Indians were up against some tough competition from Navy who captured first place with 23 points, 56 points ahead of lUP. At the Paul Short .Memorial lUP placed 6th overall but was the No. 2 Division II finisher be- hind the University of Maryland. They finished impr-essively be- hind such Division 1 teams as Vil- lanova, Yale, Penn State and Georgetown. Out of 194 runners lUP placed five in the top 100 with Benzoni finishing 13th with a time of 17:28. With their confidence spurred, lUP took first above host team Kent State at the Kent State Clas- sic. The women placed five in the top 10 finishers with Benzoni (1st), Pickering (3rd), Kinch (4th) and Wheeler (5th) with the same times of 19:04 and Bonac- corsi (10th). The women were ready for the PSAC State Meet where they cap- tured their fifth straight confer- ence championship with Benzoni claiming the individual women ' s title with a time of 18:22:7. Unfor- tunately this victor-y did not car- ry over when the Lady Indians traveled to Rhode Island for the Division II Regional Meet, . fter the team failed to place, only Benzoni was invited to attend the National .Meet. —Jo Koob II P Sports Information hi rwH.

Some students play basketball and some football; others are in- volved in swimming or field sports. No matter what the sport may be, the students all have one thing in common— concerned parents. Just like there is a variety of activities, there are various ways in which parents encourage their favorite athlete. The most com- mon and obvious, of course, is simply by coming to as many games as possible, if not all. Such is the case with Patti Connagh- an ' s parents, Bill and Regina, who said, We ' ve seen quite a few of her basketball games this year. We basically just tell her to do her best, and she usually does. However, some families can also help out financially by send- ing the athelte to a training camp. Mr. and .Mrs. Vanderau said, We always encouraged Pam in whatever sport she pur- sued, and we went to many games. They added, We ' ve helped send her to field hockey camp two summers in a row now. Other parents came to games not only to see their children play, but because of specific in- terests either in the entire team or the sport itself. His father ' and I go to support the whole team, .Mar-y .Macek said in regar ' ds to her son Doug, but, of course, we ar ' c always pr ' oud of him when he does well. She added, Whenever he swam, we were there. We really don ' t support him financially, but mon- ey doesn ' t solve ever-ything. Laura and Leann Santacroce ' s mother Jane commented, 1 try to make all the basketball games whenever it ' s possible because 1 love to watch them play. 1 not only go to provide them moral support, but simply because 1 have always enjoyed the sport. In addition, some families are so supportive that they show up when other important individ- uals do not. Mr-s. Gwen Matthews said that her family has gone to several of Mike ' s basketball games, including the Pitt game last year, but she remembers one game that had to be cancelled. The one time 1 gathered the entire family so we could watch Mike play, the game was can- celled because the referees did not show up, she said. However, it does not matter how often the parents come to support their children, but it is important that a genuine concern exists. This supplies the athlete with a stable foundation and makes an otherwise average ath- lete successful because he knows someone cares and supports him. —Cleo Logan Bill Muhlack Sports parents gather at lUP ' s October Homecoming football game to cheer on their Indians. 120 Pt ' i¥ Sports Dream Come True For Runner Senior Elisa Weezie Benzoni, as she is bettei- known since ac- quiring the nickname during her childhood, is from Victoria, NV. and has come a long way since graduating from Bloomfieid High School. She was very athletic in high school coach Ed Fry of IIP said, but she never ran cross country until she came to college. She has been in cross country and track all four years of her college ca- reer and has acquired many awards. Weezie ' s most recent accom- plishment in women ' s cross coun- try was at the NCAA Division II National Championships at Southern University of Indiana in Evansville where she recei ed third place oveiall with a time of 17.29. She finished behind Celia .Mosquedo of California State Los Angeles who is originally from .Mexico and Bente .Mo of Seattle Pacific from Norway, This made Weezie the top native I ' nitcd States runner. She was able to go to nationals by earning second place in Rhode Island at the Northeast Kegi(jnal tournament. She has participated in nationals in cross country since her freshman year, but her best finish until recently was 17th place in 1986. I was really pleased with this this year. It ' s kind of like a dream come true. It ' s the way you dream to end your senior year, and it came true, said Weezie. She has become stronger both physically and mentally, which is extremely important for long dis- tance running, Coach Fry said. This helps the runner to endure the length of the race and the side-by-side competition, he said. She ' s a hard worker, Fry added. I ' ve never seen anyone work as hard as Weezie. Weezie was also the individual winner this year at the PSAC Championship Meet when IL ' P won the team title for the fifth straight year. She is not just an athlete, how- ever. During the Fall 1987 semes- ter, Weezie was awarded the Sal- ly B. Johnson Scholarship award. This is given every year to an outstanding senior athlete partic- ipating in any of the nine wom- en ' s sports sponsored on campus. She has maintained a Dean ' s List average as a pre-medical major. Recently Weezie was honored with her fourth All-American ti- tle in cross country at a dinner honoring all All-Americans. She has gained this title every year she has run. —Cleo Logan Weezie cnmpetes in the IIP Invitational held in September.

Jan Murtha remained assis- tant coach, and John Wingfield stayed as head diving coach. After training since Septem- ber, the squad traveled to Bloomsburg Nov. 14 to take part in their annual relay meet. lUP got their first victory of the year as the Indians touched out Slip- pery Rock for the first-place trophy. It was a good way to begin the season, said Nee. The squad next traveled to Westminster on Dec. 8. The strong Indian team overpowered the Titans, winning 135-82. Ju- niors Brian Eckenrode, Bob Ogor- euc, Pete LeRoy, Dan Williams and senior Cris Lang all snagged individual wins for lUP. Three days later the Indians took on Clarion, the perennial state champs. The result was a close loss, 101-109, with AU-American senior co-captain Scott Nagel tak- ing first place in the 400-yard in- dividual medley. The team then headed to Boca Raton, Fla., and the famed Mis- sion Bay Aquatic Training Center for their winter conditioning trip. The squad practiced in outdoor pools every day for four hours with weight training also includ- ed for 11 straight days. According to Nee, Our prima- ry reason for going down there was to swim and, believe me, they swam hard. The tired Indians returned Jan. 11 only to board another bus Jan. 16 for a meet with Blooms- burg. The men dominated the young Bloomsburg team, captur- ing first place in every event. Winners included Eckenrode, Ogoreuc, Williams, Lang, Nagel, senior Ken Simpson and senior co-captain Doug Macek. On Jan. 23 the team suffered what would turn out to be its last loss for the year against the na- tionally-ranked Red Raiders of Shippensburg by a 96-107 margin. Their next meet against Edinboro would turn out to be the most exciting of the season. Down by one point going into the 4 X 100-yard freestyle relay, lUP turned to the foursome of freshman Todd Jones, Eckenrode, Macek and Nagel. Nagel, who had already taken firsts in the 200- yard freestyle and backstroke events, turned out to be the hero when he came from behind to touch out the last Edinboro swim- mer by only three-tenths of a sec- ond. Other winners included Eck- enrode in the 500- and 1000-yard freestyle events, Williams on the one and three meter diving boards and Simpson in the 200- yard breaststroke. After recording two more vic- tories over Fairmont and Slippery Rock, the team headed to Clarion on Feb. 16 for the state champi- onship meet. Here the team fin- ished in fourth place behind Clar- ion, Shippensburg and Edinboro. Nagel once again reigned as state champion in the 400-yard individ- ual medley, but just missed quali- fying for the national champion- ships. Ken Simpson qualified. setting an lUP record in the 100- yard breaststroke and finishing second. Diver Dan Williams also became eligible for the trip to Buffalo, N.Y., when he qualified on the three meter board. Other Indians recording excellent fin- ishes at the state meet included freshman Jack Schmitt in the 100- and 200- yard breaststrokes, LeRoy in t he 200-yard backstroke and Eckenrode ' s record-setting finishes in the 500- and 1650-yard freestyle events. The national meet resulted in three more lUP records as Simp- son broke his own in taking 19th in the 100-yard breaststroke and 14th in the 200-yard version, nar- rowly missing Ail-American sta- tus in the latter. Williams added two more excellent performances on both boards for a pair of 19th place finishes. Coach Nee was very pleased with the results of her first sea- son with the Indians and looks for bigger and better things in the years to come. —Bob Reich Jr. 122 Sports Knw .Steve Simon, Todd Jones, Jack Graham.

Under the direction of first-year head coach Frances Nee, assistant Jan Mur- tha and diving coach John Wing- field the women ' s team set 15 lUP records on their way to a successful 7-3 season. It was a great year, Nee said. Though both teams had to overcome the switch from two separate coaches and two pools to one coach, one pool and one team, it was the women ' s squad that had it the hardest. The swimmers were uprooted from their old home in Zinl Hall to a new locker room that had been built for them just off the deck of the Me- morial Field House Natatorium. Suddenly a pool which once held 20 men at a time for practice now held twice that, all of which made for six crowded lanes and long practices. It also made many of the men mindful of their egos. There were no such thing as slacking off during sets any- more, said junior Brian Ecken- rode, or one of the girls was go- ing to swim right over you. Coach Nee said, Combining the two teams was the smartest thing (Athletic Director) Frank Cignetti ever did for the swim- ming program here at lUP. The women began their season with a win over Lock Haven. It was here that Janice Clarkson, a sophomore transfer from West Virginia University, began her string of record-setting perfor- mances, breaking the 200- and 500-yard freestyle records. The women won every event in the meet. Other winners included na- tional-qualifier Kris Hotchkiss, Lisa Schmitt, Julie DeVore, Lisa Meyer, captain Suzie Glass, Kim Stennet, Jenny Meyers and Paula Lamendola. The Lady Marauders from Mil- lersville came to lUP and once again Clarkson set another re- cord, this time in the 1000-yard freestyle event. Diver Kris Hotch- kiss also set a record on the one- meter board for six dives. After a convincing win over Duquesne, the women left for their fourth dual meet of the sea- son at Frostburg, Md. In 1986 the Indians were dealt a one-point loss by that team. This year though, it was a different story as lUP captured every event in a 160-103 victory. After returning from a winter training trip in Boca Katon, Fla., with the men ' s team, the women took on the Huskies of Blooms- burg. The squad suffered their first loss of the year, but not be- fore they had broken three more lUP records. Captain Suzie Glass grabbed one in the 100-yard back- stroke. Clarkson earned one in the 1650-yard freestyle. Donna Visnofsky, Paula Lamendola and Lisa Meyer teamed up with Glass to take one in the 400-yard med- ley relay. Kris Hotchkiss became the first diver in the history of the women ' s program to qualify for the national championships. After losing a close one to Shippensburg, the team got back on the winning track with a vic- tory over Edinboro. Lisa Meyer stole the limelight as she set a record in the 100-yard freestyle relay. After recording easy wins over Washington and Jefferson and Fairmont State the team suffered one more loss at the hands of the tough Slippery Rock team. The Indians had no time to worry about the loss because the state championships were just 10 days away. At the state meet at Clarion the team captured a solid fourth place in the PSAC. The entire team swam well, especially fresh- man Jenny Meyers who placed in the 100- and 200-yard back- strokes, 400-yard individual med- ley and 400-yard freestyle relay with Meyer, Visnofsky and Clark- son. Kris Hotchkiss placed fourth on the three-meter board and 1 2th on the one-meter board. At the national championships Hotchkiss was the women ' s lone representative. She did not disap- point anyone as she took 20th and 22nd in the nation, respec- tively, on the three- and one-me- ter diving boards. According to coach Nee, the team lived up to all of her expec- tations and she anxiously awaits the 1988-89 season to begin the climb up the state and national rankings. —Bob Reich Jr. WP Sports Information Top row: Donna McGinley, Donna Visnofsky, Dana Barkley.

Women ' s Swimmlnf; 125 Gymnasts Reunite The Record Books The I UP gymnastics team had an excellent season in 1987-88. They achieved a better record and went farther in competition than any Indian gymnastics team preceding them. At the close of their last meet, the Division I Regionals in Penn State ' s Recreation Hall, their re- cord stood at 32-12. In the course of the season the team rewrote the entire record book, and many individuals set highei ' personal bests. The Indians began the season higher than they ever had. Their final score in the intrasquad meet was 168.35, signifying to coaches Dan Kendig and Gary Stam that this was a high-quality team they were dealing with— one which, if coached well, would go very far. Once again the gymnasts ' schedule included many very tough Division I competitiors. However, HP met the challenges and improved meet by meet, an annual goal set forth by head coach Kendig. They began regular-season ac- tion in January with an away meet against host West Virginia University, Penn State and the University of Maryland. They placed fourth in the meet, but they stayed with the Division I competition and broke 170.00 with 172.70. Although they began the sea- son scoring in the low 170 ' s, by the end of the season their scor- ing record was placed at a lofty 181.70, achieved when they won at Division 11 Nationals. This year ' s team was com- prised of four seniors, three ju- niors, three sophomores and six freshmen. Their 1986 vaulting score of 46.05 was broken in the final dual meet of the regular season against Auburn. The record now stands at 46.40. Rose Johnson, a sophomore, once again set the school ' s indi- vidual vaulting record of 9.60, which she earned foi- her perfor- mance at home against James Madison University and Kent State. This was also the first time lUP defeated KSU. The uneven bars peaked late for the team this year, despite a fair showing in the pie- and early season. Both team and individual scoring records on bars were the last to go down this year. At the Division II Nationals the bar team scored a 46.00 when they went six-for-six on the event. Contributing to this record was junior Dina Carrieri with the in- dividual scoring record of 9.45.

Floor ' s individual scoring re- cord went to Rose Johnson who had 9.60 in the Division II Region- al Meet held at lUP. The team scoring record now stands at 45.50, also earned at regionals. Michelle Goodwin also holds the all-around scoring record of 37.40, which she earned at the George Washington Invitational. The Indians gymnasts ended the season April 19, 1988, with a third-place finish at Divi- sion 1 Regionals, a meet which featured six other Division 1 teams. lUP was only bettered by host Penn State and Ohio State. The Indian gymnasts defeated Pitt, who beat lUP three times during the course of the regular season, and New Hampshire, who beat lUP once in 1988. At the 1988 AU-American din- ner held April 12, lUP honored 12 gymnasts, more than any other lUP gymnastics team of the past. The entire 1987-88 lUP team at- tained Ail-American status be- cause of the National Champion- ship they won April 1, 1988, at Springfield College in Massachusestts. —Bienda L CJouser Poug Macek Mandi Petruska bends over backwards for her routine.

The team began the season in October on a down note with a two-point loss to Canisius, and they won their next match against Washington and Jeffer- son by forfeit. In their next match, lUP faced Canisius and Duquesne. Jon Pri- bicko and John Milavec led the lUP shooters to the win, both shooting 548 points. IL ' P scored 2077 total, narrowly defeating Canisius (2076) and Duquesne (2008). Next IL ' P defeated Duquesne and St. Francis with a score of 2119 against their scores of 2025 and 1817, respectively. St. Francis fell next to the In- dians 2096 to 1893.

Twd bits, four bits, six bits, a (idllaf ... may sound lii e a cheei- from the 19o()s but, in an effort to encourage crowd partici- pation and school spirit, those were the words to a cheer per- formed by the lUP cheerleaders during the 1987-88 season. We ' re trying to gear cheers and chants to the fans. We ' ve had a lot of support, especially at the state (football) game and the bonfire, which was the first one held in a very long time, said captain .Michelle McKee, a senior marketing major. The lUP squad began its first semester as a recognized univei- sity sport by attending a five-day instructional camp on .Aug. 17 at Rutgers, N.J. For the first time all 14 members of the squad were able to attend the camp where they learned material to encour- age crowd support. The camp, sponsored by Universal Cheer- leaders Association, also gave lUP the opportunity to compete against approximately 15 Divi- sion II schools. lUP brought home three trophies: most-improved squad, first place in cheers and second place in fight song. During the football season the squad members began practicing for a videotape to be submitted for a national competition. lUP won fifth place out of 40 squads which marked their best showing since the competition began. 1 think this year as a squad we worked together well . . . it ' s definitely the best squad talent- wise and in team-work and team effort, McKee said. Listed by partners, the fall squad members were: Tom Ad- ams and .Molly George, Greg Hoff- man and Tammy Bean, Rich Manko and Jean Barno, Karl McCall and Suzanne Gray, Jody Owen and .Michelle McKee (cap- tain), Terry Schrock (captain) and Chrissy Zack, and Jody Wire- man and Mary Casey.

Cheerleaders 131 Beck Closes Out 16- Year Career One can usually tell the end of basketball practice by the blow- ing of a whistle, and after 16 years at I LP Tom Beck ended his last practice of his coaching career. Tom Beck, who will still retain his teaching career at lUP, re- signed at the end of the 1987-88 season and left behind him ' 42 years of coaching experience. Coaching has been a big, big pait of my life for the past 82 years, said Beck, so it is with very mixed feelings I am making this move. I know that come next Octo- ber 15 (starting date for college practices) I will miss coaching. But by the same token, there is no doubt in my mind that this is the right nio e. Beck started his careei- at lUP in 1972 and woiked with Carl Da- vis as an assistant. After 11 years and compiling a lGO-111 mark highlighted by seven post-sea.son playoff appearances, Beck was named interim head coach after Davis ' resignation in July 1983. That season was billed as Tom Beck ' s Yeai. In his first year, he led the Indians to a 12-15 record, a tre- mendous accomplishment consid- ering that the Indians did not have any returning starters and Beck was without a full-time as- sistant coach. However, 1984-85 was his best Top rinht: CoAch Beck. ff; )(; T(idd John Mike Matthews and .Marvin Morris ra for Beck this season. year as he commanded the Indi- ans to a 17-10 record, five of the losses to Division I foes. That year he was given the head coaching job and a full-time as- sistant and defensive specialist, Tony Bernardi. It ' s been said many times that a program and a head coach are only as good as their assistants. The success of the program has been due in a large part to Tony Bernardi. He is both an outstand- ing, quality person and an excel- lent coach, Beck said. After five years, they compiled a 66-70 mark, guiding the Indians to the playoffs each time in his first four years. Beck has had many assistants and coaches in his years and has seen many good players. After he graduated from Slip- pery Rock in 1954, he then earned his master ' s at Duquesne Univer- sity in 1962. He began his coach- ing career at the junior high level in Hempfield .school district near his hometown of Youngwood. From there he went to Hurst High School in nearby .Mount Pleasant as head coach, and be- came head coach as he served as coach of its first two teams be- fore moving on to Northeast High in Maryland, In his three years at the helm, Northeast advanced to the state playoffs each time. From there he went to Clarion where he was an assistant for six years before coming to lUP. Dur- ing his 16 years at lUP, Beck com- piled a 224-180 record. .According to Coach Beck, wins and losses are not the only things important to coaching, at least not to him. I think the greatest thrill I get from coaching, said Beck, is working with a kid in practice and see him do something in the game and knowing that you helped him do that. It ' s great. Also, seeing a kid graduate from college and knowing that you had a part in that is wonder- ful. You don ' t measure that in dollars and cents. Tom Beck has given 16 years of loyal and dedicated service to lUP basketball. He has always represented the university in a positive manner, said Frank Cig- netti, director of intercollegiate athletics. — Mike Harris Joe Wojcik Doug Macek IdZ Sports Sutton Retires After 20 Years The hisldiy of the man who dedicated two decades to coach- ing men ' s cfoss country and track and field, and who in turn be- came one of Division II ' s most successful coaches, is displayed in a 1(1 X (i foot room in Zink Hall, The name placed outside the door reads l.ou Sutton. Inside re- clines a man who recently relin- quished his head coaching posi- tion to colleague Kd Fry. Surrounded hv symbols of nation- al chaiiipionslups, Siition seems content with his decision to step down as head coach but to re- main teaching. Sutton, who stepped down from the head coaching Job of the track and field team in U)S(), said he would miss the everyday con- tact with the team. Among the many trips Sutton has made with the men ' s cross country team was the U)87 excur- sion to i.os .-Xngeles for the na- ■ 1 % w. .■ -f :f?€ ' if! . , jm 1 1 1 ■ - ■ im tk Jo Koob tional championships. .Although lUP fell short of capturing the title, Sutton said the trips in themselves were the real benefits. They ' ve all been special trips, Sutton said. Photographs of races from around the I ' nited States and tro- phies of track and field champi- onships serve as reminders of a twenty-year tenure as mentor of the iUP teams. Behind each picture lies a frac- tion of Sutton ' s success story and his drive to settle for nothing less than a top-quality program. Ironically, Sutton was not hired for his coaching back- ground in 19()7. Instead, he came here as an intramural specialist. But when the position of track coach needed to be filled, the ath- letic director asked Sutton to take over. Though hesitant at first, he eventually accepted the job and has since compiled a winning per- centage and a 1(19-1(1-1 dual record. The Indians under Sutton nev- er bordered on a losing season in men ' s cross country oi ' track. His 1987 team managed a 7(i-9 record against many Divison II entrants. Under his guidance, IUP ad- vanced to 12 straight Division II national meets from 197o to i9S(i, finishing as high as third in 1977 and fourth in 1982. Above left: Coach Sutton. Left: Tim Ebbert ran during Sutton ' s la.M season. Sutton ' s goals grew after each season. When I first started out, I had different expectations, he said. I thought, if only 1 could get someone to nationals. Then in the NAI.A, I had three people in track qualify. They didn ' t place. So the next year I thought, if only I could get someone to place. lUP ' s Dim Slusser fulfilled that wish by placing sixth in the NAIA marathon in 1972 and ' 73. I was proud for the school, for him and the coaches, Sutton said. It was undei ' Sutton that sev- en-time All-.American Jim Wood- ing demonstrated his athletic prowess and made his trip to the 1984 Summer Olympics. Watch- ing him compete was some kind of experience that many coaches at this level don ' t get to experi- ence, said Sutton. One achievement eluded Sut- ton, who was twice named North- eastern United States Coach of the Year, and that was winning a national championship in cross country. Third place was as close as he got. For his outstanding conduct in the 1987 Nationals, Sutton was extended a special commendation by the NCAA. He served as presi- dent of the NCAA National Cross Country Coaches Associatiim in 1980-81 and earned it a Distin- guished Service .-Xward in 1982. Twenty years is probably enough for anybody, Sutton said of his 2(l-hour work weeks. .As you get older, you get a different perspectice with what you want to do. —Louie Estnid:i Sports Idd Baseball Team Division Champs With a record of 28 wins and 9 losses, the Indians had not only one of the hest team recoids in years but also the title of West- ern Division Champions for the first time since 1980. The team secured this title by beating constant opponent Slip- pery Rock at Pullman Park in Butler, Pa., on May 6. Here they also improved their chances of winning at PSACs on May 13 through 15. Coach Jeriy Hand had set foi- the team the goal of 3U wins, and although they just fell short of this, they came through on the challenge to reach PS.-XC ' s, this year in first place as opposed to their second place standing of the last two years. We like to be realistic, said Coach Hand. We (lUP) haven ' t won States in eight yeai ' s so oui ' goal is always to win PSACs so we can move on to the National Championships. These realistic goals have helped the team to not only shoot for a goal but also to pull togeth- er as a group. Pitcher Mike Sobota summed up the season as the best he has had personally and that the team has had as a whole. This is the best team in a lot of years. From hitters to pitchers, the whole team has a great atti- tude, he said. The 1988 season saw a very strong and harmonious team ready to attain the coach ' s goals. Coach Hand indicated all the se- niors played important roles this season. Mike Sobota and Rob Be- dillion shared a strike out record of 52 apiece by April 21. Gino Startari did an outstanding Job defensively but also offensively by having a great batting record. Right fielder Greg Greczek, the clean-up hitter, had a very good year, Hand continued. Although these and other se- niors like Mike Meyer and Bob Covatch will be leaving, the team has plenty of potential for next v 4r HP Sports Information First row: Coach Chris Edwards, Wally Shaffer, Scott Rhodes, .

Sophomore Chris Mur- dock was a leader at scoring runs and stealing bases and played consistently at second base. Bill Laubach, centerfielder who was all-conference last year, aver- aged the most hits and RBl ' s, the best overall batting average and also the most doubles, triples and total bases. Scott Rhodes and Marvin Kelley held impressive batting records while aggressive- ly playing their positions. Players like these who have at least two more active years with the team provide leadership for another great year. With these returning players, next season is looking very good. The program is one with stabil- ity, noted Coach Hand. Even though there are good players graduating there are capable team members to take their place. The recruiting has secured new pitchers and catchers to help replace the three starting pitch- ers who will be leaving. With some good luck, hard work and less rain, next year looks to be as good or maybe even better than this outstanding year. -Jov Koub Abme rigtil: Senior catcher Gino Startari proves he is as good on offense as defense. ? 7(.- Sophomore Chris Murdock tries to slide past the ball to the base. 134 Sports Ill ' OI ' l- 4 Clark 4 Lewis 1 i Slippery Rock 4 ;t Bloomsburg 2 9 ;) Vassar Boston University 2 1 9 Keene State (N.H.)

I thought we would have done much better than we did. John- son said. We had seven starters that returned this year. Losing only three letterwin- ners from the previous year. ILT appeared to be in good shape for the start of the season. This year ' s team had nine let- terwinners returning, including Beth Blaisdell. Miss! Fucci. Sue Fulton and . ngie Kephart. The ILT women ' s softball team began their season winning their first game against Suny-Bing- hamton 6-0. but then lost three consecutive doubleheaders to Shippensburg, Allegheny and Bloomsburg. During their next eight games, they managed to win only three of them. We had a rough start at the beginning of the season, but I think we came out of it all right. Johnson said. The team managed to win 1 1 of their final 14 games, including their last six in a row with senior Beth Blaisdell leading the way with an 11-3 record during the streak. Blaisdell pitched in 28 out of 32 games, accumulating a 16-10 re- cord and leading the pitching staff with a 1.39 earned run average. Other top contributors were Fucci. who batted .3ilG during the season: Fulton, who played in all the regular season games and batted .314; and Kephart, who batted .289. Johnson was also quick to note that two freshmen were an im- portant factor for the team this year. We were very ple ased with the progress of our two freshmen. Debbie Chuss and Tina Morrow. Johnson said. Chuss, a pitcher and designat- ed hitter, led the team in hitting with a .358 average. Morrow, the team ' s catcher, led the team in outs made with 91 and batted .300. The women ' s softball team fared very well in the PS. C play- offs, finishing third overall. I was very happy to see the team play the latter half of the season the way I know they could, Johnson said. Finishing third in the PS.AC Playoffs is great considering the way our season started. For next year, losing Blaisdell and Fulton might have its toll on the team. On the other hand, good recruits and consistent per- formances from the players might be enough to fill the holes that have been left. -Raymond J.

Four athletes qualified for the NCAA Division II Meet in San An- gelo, Texas, led by Eugene Delle- monache in the shot put and dis- cus. Bob Babiak in the decathlon and Biyon Whipkey and Jeff Neral in the javelin were the oth- er athletes to qualify for nationals. The team traveled as far away as North Caiolina to compete this season, with many outstanding performances occurring all year. Weather was the big problem for the team, though. At each meet the team was faced with adverse conditions, whether it be wind, cold temperatures or rain. Each time, however, the team had an impressive performance in some events. At North Carolina, Eugene Del- lemonache and Jeff Neral quali- fied foi- nationals foi- the second consecutive year. Later in the year, a recoid five athletes trav- elled to the prestigious Penn Re- lays, including high jumper Kay Sharick, steeple chasei- Chris Flynn and Babiak who finished third and qualified for nationals. Aftei ' the North Carolina meet, the team travelled to Towson State in Maryland. Howard Miller and Paul Prox led the team with state qualifying performances in the 10,000 and 5,000-meter runs. The UP Open, held Easter Ve- keend, was the next meet. The weather, for the first time, was excellent. lUP ' s mile relay team remained undefeated and the field team, or beefheads, con- tinued to dominate the opposition. At The Shippensburg Invite the team once again did well, led by Er-ic Vassal in the long jump (school record) and Kevin Patter- son in the 400. The weather was poor but at the California Invitational, fr ' esh- man Eric Shafer and another handful of athletes qualified for the state meet. At WVT, Ron Kustaborder ' was the last lUP athlete to qualify for states in the 10,000 meters. At that point the team got a week off before a chance at the state championships to be held at lUP. At home, the Indians wei ' e a close second to Edinboro after ' the first day ' s events, but ended up finishing third behind the Fight- ing Scots and Shippensburg. At states, a fourth and final athlete qualified for nationals— Bryon Whipkey in the javelin. The season was a success for the team, climaxed by the PSAC meet at home in May. Fry and assistant coaches Jim Wooding and Bob Raemore had to be pleased with the ' 88 season, and look ahead to better things in 1989. - Paul Fiox WP Sports Information Row I: Coach Ed Fry, Kevin Patterson, Jay . rther, Matt Keisling, Chri.s Flynn, Scott Pifer, Rick Salvadore, Eugene Dellemonache, Coach Robert Kaemore.

Benzoni took first with very good times in both the 3,000 and o,0l)0 meters. Kim Schneidei ' grabbed the meet record and qualified for Nationals in the tri- ple jump and Maiy Replogle fin- ished first with a javelin throw of 152 ' :il 2 . On every sports team there are members who stand out as being particularly good, but the wom- an ' s track and field team con- tained such depth that it is hard to name the excellers without forming a rather long list. Four time cross country .Ml-. merican Weezie Benzoni not only qualified for Nationals earlv in March but was named the Greatei ' Pitts- burgh College Athlete of the Year. The Penn Relays, held at the University of Pennsylvania ' s Franklin Field in Philadelphia, saw Sara Pickering qualify for Nationals by an impressive 47 seconds when she ran a :i5:4S in the 10,000-meters. Rett Galbraith and Missy Larme helped to make up both the 400 meter and 880 meter relays at the Towson State Invitational where both relays came in second place. Also at Towson State, Valerie Hricsina took first in the javelin as did Kim Schneider in the triple jump and the two mile relay team of Lisa Scarfone.

IS ' .—fcj ■Mf Doug M cek Doug Macek Best Year Ever For lUP Men ' s Tennis The 1988 men ' s tennis season started off on just the right foot In March, as the seven-member varsity team began the year on the courts without a great turn- over of players. With no lettermen lost from the 1987 season, the team kicked off the ' 88 year with seven re- turning racketmen. Seniors Joe Fadden, Brad Hanes, and Tim Nuss, along with junior Jim Welker and sophomores Garrison Gladfelter, Mario Gliazzi and Jeff Robson rounded out the 1988 season and ended the tally with an overall record of 14-2. With an NCAA Division 11 sev- enth-ranked position at mid-sea- son, the Indians boasted quite an impressive season overall. With losses only to Pitt (6-3) and Edin- boro (5-4), the lUP men handed in a season with victories over St. Francis, West Liberty State, Westminster, Duquesne, Lock Ha- ven, Penn State-Behrend, Juni- ata, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, Frostburg State (.Md.), Gannon and Wooster. The men finished the season with the PSAC tourna- ment at Bloomsburg, where the Indians fell .second to the Huskies in early May. This year ' s most outstanding team performance, according to coach Vince Celtnieks, was against Gannon March 26, where lUP crowned Gannon 8-1 on the visitors ' courts. It was definitely one of our best matches, said Celtnieks. Other teams have played them and lost, but we beat them. They had strong players, he contin- ued, but we played well through the whole match. Most notable in the lUP-Gan- non match was sophomore Dave Jacobs, who Celtnieks said had just been put in this position (as a singles player), and he beat his opponent. Celtnieks cited Welker and Hanes as the top-seeded players for 1988. Jim won all his matches in the regular season in two sets, said Celtnieks. And he had only one loss as a regular-season play- er last year. Brad only lost one match in singles this season, and last year he didn ' t lo.se a match in singles at all. Together, Welker and Hanes have totalled 30 doubles matches without a loss and in singles fin- ished 29-1 for two years overall. In regular-season play, the two seniors have been undefeated for the last two years. Other season notables wee Gliazzi and Robson, with a 9-7 overall record in doubles; fourth- seeded Nuss with a 14-1 singles season, and the Paul Smith-N ' uss duo, who finished with an im- pressive overall record of 14-2. Celtnieks reflected on lUP ' s third-spotted title in the state in the early 1970s, but summed up the Indians ' 1988 season by not- ing, This is the best overall fin- ish for lUP tennis— ever. —Deb Dursi 144 Sports Keeping warm on the tennis courts.

Men ' s Tennis 145 Twenty-Four Ail-Americans Honored This year ' s Ail-American din- ner was highlighted by the recog- nition of the National Champion gymnastics team, who made up the majority of the 24 student honorees. Besides the 12 gymnasts, the 1987-88 AIl-Americans were hon- ored in women ' s cross country, field hockey, football, soccer, and men ' s and women ' s track and field. Leading the honorees was Tammy Donnelly-Slusser, a 1987 graduate who once again was the most decorated of the student athletes. Tammy is probably the most decorated All-American in the history of the school, said coach Ed Fry. Donnelly-Slusser was honored for her four track and field and one cross country performances. Also honored in this spot was was Elisa Weezie Benzoni, whom Fry called a most coura- geous person for her third-place finish at the NCAA Division II National Championships in Ev- ansville. In. Coach Frank Cignetti ' s PSAC Championship football team in- cluded Ail-American seniors Tony Trave and Troy Jackson.

Each time we went out, it seemed like another recoi ' d went down. Kendig said. The team then went on to win the Division II National Champi- onship and took third place at the Division I National Champion- ships at Penn State. Team members honored for in- dividual performances included Dina Carrieri on uneven bars, Mi- chelle Goodwin with four Ail- American ratings, Lori Henke- meyer on vault and Janine Palshakov with three rankings. Other members of the team hon- ored were Gina Cover, Monica Grote, Rose Johnson, Tonya Kus- taborder, Suzanne Oaklander, Mandi Petruska, Jenn Phelan and Susan Wahl. .Men ' s and Women ' s track and field saw honors achieved by Kim Schneider, who placed seventh in the triple jump at the NCAA Divi- sion II meet last May: Dave Mau- die, who won the javelin throw in the same competition; and Jeff Neral, who placed sixth in the javelin at the meet. Senior Eu- gene Dellemonache ranked third at the national championships in the shotput. Eugene worked harder than any athlete I ' ve ever seen, said coach Jim Wooding. .Also honored were field hock- ey members Tracy Bower, Rebec- ca Joyce and Diana Reinhard, and soccer team forward Todd Hammond, lUP ' s leading scorer, who won his second straight .All- .American status. Our society cannot work un- less we have people who commit themselves to being the best they can be, said Il ' P President John Welty in his address to the ath- letes. That they continue to per- sist and do the best they can is a real tribute to each one of them. You have a long way to go. You have that responsibility . . . to continue to be the very best that you can be, Welty said. —Dana Smith Doug Macek 146 Sports Left: Coach Dan Kendig hugs gymnast Janine Palshakov flp «H Weezie Benzoni is honored by coach Kd Fry for cross country. All-Americans 14 Intramurals: Growth And Confrontation The year began with comput- ers and ended in confrontation, but both led to changes in the intramural department in the ac- ademic year 1987-1988 which will better their opei ' ations in the future. According to Dr. Royden Grove, director of intramurals, We ' ve entered the computer age. Grove referred to the purchase of the department ' s computer which now enables them to put all correspondence, rules and I ' eg- ulations and scheduling informa- tion for intramural activities into its memory. It just makes for fantastic re- cord keeping, Grove said. And it has made so many things easier for us to manage. Grove went on to explain how they could store all intramural results on the new computer and have the team win loss records available to be printed out at any time. He also explained how much the computer would help with the revision of rules of sports from year to year. A lot of redundant things that were done every year are now semi-automatic, he said. The student doesn ' t see that, but it does improve the quality of the program. The confrontation of the year was between Grove and Athletic Director Frank Cignetti and a controversy over softball playing Intramurals such as ping pong and soft- ball were open to all members of the stu- dent body during the school year. facilities, but it ended with posi- tive, long-term results for every- one involved. According to Grove, Cignetti felt that the football team was in need of more space in the spring, and so he refused at first to allow women ' s softball to play on the practice fields by Miller Stadium. Traditionally, women ' s softball has played on these on-campus fields while men ' s softball played on the off-campus fields of Mack Park and Getty Heights, Grove said, but Cignetti suggested the two share these off-campus facil- ities, and cut the men ' s roster down to allow enough space for both. But guys will go anywhere to play, Grove said. Girls really won ' t (go that far to play), and we ' ve got to give them equal time. I cancelled the men ' s softball knowing it would cause a flap, he continued. When it hit THE PENN, the administration woke up and we worked something out. The controversy ended on a good note, according to Grove, be- cause it got the administration to recognize that there was a real problem with available facilities. In the long run the students will benefit from the softball problem, he said. Now they ' re looking into trying to light the fields on campus so we can better utilize the space we have. It was somewhere between the computers and the softball con- troversy that the intramural de- partment made another small ac- quisition which led to major improvements in their system ef- ficiency: They bought a phone message recorder. Maybe it sounds trivial, but ac- cording to Grove it has enhanced the quality of communication tremendously. Every night at 4:30 (when the office closes), we turn it on, he said. The machine says what gyms are being used, so you can see if you could play a pickup game of basketball, and it says what changes have been made in the schedules. It saves a lot of trouble in communication mix- ups. - Ward Allebach Doug Macek Doug Stacek 148 Sports Left; Members of an intramural volleyball team enjoy a successful volley.

These organizations keep us constantly on the move as we try to better ourselves aca- demically, learn more about our ca- reers, or simply have fun. The variety available makes it possible for everyone Organizations Editor: Stacey Bell Assistants: Jennifer Dawson Kathleen Rosick to become involved. For the business- minded, there are accounting and mar- keting clubs. Professional and honorary fraternities allow students to make con- tacts and learn more about their profes- sions as they get one step closer to entering the real world. Other clubs take the form of sports such as the ___ _ hockey club or rugby club. Hands-on, pre- professional experi- ence is available ath- rough student publi- cations and student government organi- zations. These clubs and groups give stu- dents the chance to meet other students with common inter- ___ _ ests, as well as the chance to exchange ideas and career goals. Some clubs set up symposiums and workshops where its members can learn interviewing pro- cesses and job-hunting techniques. Be- cause they are recognized by the uni- versity and follow a drawn constitution, these organizations are able to use uni- versity facilities for their functions and events. The requirements for minimum membership in clubs is under review, but the existing clubs at lUP enable students from practically every interest to become involved.

AB sponsored the Love and Rock- ets concert, the Parent ' s Day Dinner Cabaret with comedian Tim Settimmi, the annual Pre- Exam Jam, The Best of the ' Burgh concert featuring three bands from Pittsburgh, and the Pictionary Tournament, among others. We have a good crew, Bill Halloran, chairman of the board, said. We ' ve probably got the most energetic, self-motivated, cre- ative bunch of individuals on campus. All together, there are over 100 people on the AB. Halloran, mastermind behind last year ' s Cabbage Patch Doll Acapuico Cliff Dive and organizer of the All-. ight Film Festivals, said that most of the ideas for activities come from random thinking. If someone has an idea he thinks sounds like fun, and if he can get people behind it, Halloran said, we usually do it. For other functions, such as concerts and comedians, Halloran said that the Board checks with the National Association for Campus Activities, agents and surveys they circulate around campus. —Andy Harrison Above: Some Il ' P students relax and soak up some sun at the AB Beach Party.

That ' s one word that could be used to describe Alpha E ' hi Ome- ga during the 19H7-1988 academic year. Although it was a year of many highpoints, THE highpoint of the year had to be HOMKCOM- ING! For the first time in A-Phi- O ' s 28-year histoi ' y, the fraternity was the proud creator of the first-place float in the Homecom- ing Parade. The float was The Grinch that Stole Christmas, and its construction was a testa- ment to the friendship, coopera- tion and unity that exist within the brotherhood. As usual, the brotherhood be- gan each semester with its larg- est regular project— the Book Ex- change. At the exchange, students could buy or sell used books while the fraternity took a percentage markup of the price. The fall book exchange alone raised approximately ■$3,500. Although the book exchange may be A-Phi-0 ' s most famous service project, it is by far not the fraternity ' s only one. This year the brotherhood also participated in several Red Cross blood drives, the Visitors-to-the-. ' ged program and the Love Basket program. A- Phi-0 also sponsored a hayride for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Indiana County. The fraternity gave nearly .$1,000 to such organizations as the American Diabetes .Associa- tion, the .Newman Center and the Well-Baby Clinic. Once again this year, A-Phi-0 proved that service doesn ' t have to be antisocial. The hou.se at 1162 Water St. became the unoffi- cial fraternity party house. The spring and fall formals were the social highlights of the year. The social schedule was also filled with such activities as all-night bowling, a spaghetti dinner and horseback riding. Partaking in all this fun were nearly .50 new brothers. This has brought the brotherhood back to nearly 100 members, and makes A-Phi-0 the largest fraternal or- ganization at IL ' P. .And that ' s progress. —Christine Pinto ■APhi-Os celebrate their first-place Homecoming float.

The 35-plus local members par- ticipate in a variety of activities, and each local member has the opportunity to become part of the national professional fraternity. Perhaps one of the most re- warding aspects of membership in the lUP chapter is the opportu- nity to participate in the student mentor program with the Pittsburgh professional chap- ter. Through this program, stu- dents become acquainted with a professional in the field, visit their place of employment and receive valuable advice and suggestions. 1 feel one of the biggest bene- fits of being a SPJ SDX member is the opportunity to make many contacts, lUP chapter president Jane Miller said. As a college student, that ' s one of the most important things he or she should have as a priority during his col- lege career. This year the chapter hosted numerous professional journal- ists as speakers, participated in a 3-part journalism symposium and sponsored a journalism workshop. SPJ SDX was founded in 1909 at DePau.x University in Green- castle, Ind., to ensure freedom of information to the public, main- tain high ethical standards with- in the profession and recognize outstanding achievement by jour- nalists through various awards and scholarships. —Dana Smith Left: Row I: Sue Reno, Vice President; Dana Smith, Trea.surer; Gayle Schmidt, Secretary; and Jane Miller, President Row 2: Advisers Robert Rus.sell and J David Truby Top left: Lisa Kuhns, Peter Kutsick and Brenda Clouser mingle at the fall Initiaton.

The council, consisting of an executive board and two repre- sentatives from each of lUP ' s 14 sororities, is the governing body for the approximately 700 soror- ity sisters on campus, according to Greek Affairs Director Terry Appolonia. The council acts as a mediator and imposes sanctions when rules are broken. People on campus don ' t real- ize that Panhel itself isn ' t social, Panhellenic Council President Melanie Nestor said. It ' s defi- nitely a governing body. In addition to governing, the council ' s main effort is formal so- rority rush, according to Appo- lonia. Rushees go to parties at every sorority and are provided with rush counselors who are al- ready members of sororities. The council also sponsors edu- cational programs for sisters and pledges. Nestor said that the women ' s issues awareness pro- gram is new this year. It features speakers on law and liability, ac- quaintance rape and other perti- nent topics. The council also sponsors a se- ries of programs required for pledges. The programs are de- signed to educate the pledges about the sorority system. Nestor said that the Panhel- lenic Council will work this year with its fraternity counterpart, the Interfraternity Council, to sponsor a drug and alcohol awareness week. There will be three days of programming fea- turing speakers open to all stu- dents. The greek organizations will work in cooperation with BACCHUS and Stead y Mick ' s, a non-alcoholic nightclub. The drug and alcohol awareness week is designed to raise consciousness in the university community regard- ing substance abuse. —Jennifer Lugar PaMkSkidc Comtd Right-Din Nicholls, Evelyn Todd and .Marta Braun (Pan- Hel president) ride in the Homecoming parade.

Membership is open to ail communication media majors and minors who have at least a 3.0 QPA in the major and a 2.5 overall. Gail Wilson advises the group. This AERho has its largest membership ever. After five years at lUP, AERho now has 55 members. The group has raised more funds and is sending more delegates to its conventions than ever before. Their activities include field trips such as the one scheduled to WTAE during the spring 1988 se- mester. They also attend the re- gional and national conventions. This year ' s national convention is being held in Brockport, N.Y., and AERho is planning to send about 20 delegates— enough to give them the largest delegation there. AERho won the production awards competition. They sub- mitted the most program news- cast tapes to win this honor. Each spring AERho sponsors what they call the Spring Fling. It is somewhat of a com- munications media formal, and all communications media stu- dents and faculty are invited. Last fall, they co-sponsored a Fall Hoedown with WIUP-FM and WIUP-TV, and informal dinner dance with a Western theme.

The station serves the Indiana community and the lUP campus with locally-pro- duced programs as well as XCTV progiamming. One of the most exciting as- pects is the station ' s new faculty coordinatoi-, Dr. Jay Start. Di-. Start, with the aid of station manager Jim Kapustik and pro- gram director Meg Shuey, helped motivate a fairly young manage- ment staff in effectively organiz- ing general members. The most time-consuming event of the year was WR ' P-TV ' s 1987 Christmas Telethon to bene- fit the Salvation Arriiv of Indiana County. The telethon, broadcast tape-delay from the Indiana Mall and coordinated by Bruce Huff- man, raised over $1,00(1. The Commonwealth of F nnsylvania awarded the station a Citation of Recognition for its efforts. Other activities included Homecoming 1987 in which V11P-T ' helped sponsor- Home- coming Queen Kunner-L ' p Anne- marie Agnew. Wll ' P-TV traveled to Clarion University to observe its television operations. During spring r-egistration, the station undertook a new project. Each hour all closed class sec- tions were aired.

We want to give students a more realistic view of the indus- try by providing them with guest speakers and tours, club presi- dent Karen Bauer said. To do this, the Food Service and Lodging Club provided its 70 members with hands-on experi- ence, demonstrations and tours. Club members had the opportuni- ty to work as waiters and wait- resses, to lun a food booth during Homecoming and to tour the is- ta International Hotel, Pittsburgh. The club also sponsored a chil- dren ' s benefit dinnei ' in Indiana ' s Chevy Chase section. With the help of Iris Holtz of the Chevy Chase Community Cen- ter, the club provided a spaghetti dinner for about 50 children of the Chevy Chase area. It was really nice. The chil- dren really enjoyed it, Bauer said. I was very impressed. Holtz said. This group was very well organized. The presents they gave the children were well- thought-out also. —Peter R.

The club was founded three years prior to the formation of the psychology department. The advisers of the club include Dr. Gary Patton, Dr. Donald Robertson and Dr. Gordon Thornton. The psychology club is in- volved with the Mental Health Association of Indiana. The mem- bers of the club help this organi- zation recruit volunteers to work with them. One of the activities the psy- chology club will be involved in this year is helping to collect toys for children at the Indiana Guid- ance Center to be used in play therapy in the fall. The club is also helping to sponsor a speaker for the spring semester. June Reinisch, the director from the Kinsey Institute, will speak at lUP in -April. Also in April, the members of the club will be trav- eling to Buffalo, N.Y., ta attend the Eastern Psychological Associ- ation conference. The psychology club is open to all students at IL ' P. Members need not be a psychology major or minor to join. The club works closely with Psi Chi, the honorary society for psychology. The two groups work together to develop the interests of all students who are involved in any with psychology. —Linda Winiarski Above: Club members discuss upcoming events.

The active 95-student associa- ton provides various activities for the community and students. Donna Cauffiel, SDA advisor, said. SDA helps the Diabetes Associ- ation, the annual health fair at the Indiana Mall, and at blood mobiles. The gioup also provides nutrition information for custom- ers at grocery stoies. SDA has benefitted students in the dietetics field since 1975, ac- cording to Cauffiel. It has helped the individual student. It has given them a bet- ter perspective of the field, as well as providing contacts and summer internships and has also helped impiove students ' creden- tials, Cauffiel said. - Lisa Chang iulij Di4tJ Auoc .

Headed by Marc Brown, the SSA is still an integral part of the campus life. In the past year, SSA support- ed the lUP Rugby Team in its search for field space. When the Black Student League opposed a new policy regaiding the recog- nizing of organizations, the SSA stepped in and lobbied on their behalf, and eventually the law was repealed. The SSA was also involved in piojects involving grade appeals and liberal studies; they were responsible for the cre- ation of a class syllabus policy at lUP. In addition, the SSA and the Student Government Association jointly submitted to the adminis- tration suggestions on how to im- prove the drop-add piocess. The SSA is one of only two parts of the University system by which students, by their vote, have a say in what goes on in the University. For the first time, this year the USA held theii ' own election under Michelle Angello, Chair of the election committee. One advantage of being in- volved with the SSA is being able to interact with administrators. According to Vice President Corinne Carey: When you ' re a university senator, you have the privilege of speaking one-on-one with various administrators. Carey is concerned about the lack of student involvement in making changes at lUP. Students are missing out on a golden opportunity, Carey said. If they were activated now like students were in the 60s, a lot more would get done. —Beth A. Spotts lAove.- Student Senate members gather to determine future projects.

S.MA has programs in areas such as speakers, career fairs and professional-social get-to- gethers, Krish Krishnan said. We attend national and interna- tional marketing conferences where marketing students from ail over the world share ideas and experiences. Once a month, SM.A members, who are in excess of 100 people and still growing, have a chance to attend a program, Network Nights, in Pittsburgh. Various speakers tell the stu- dents what the real world of marketing is like and what job opportunities exist, Krishnan said. This program provides many contacts for students which will aid in their job search after college. —Lisa Chang Above Left: Row I: Denise Phelps, vice president; Pete Talarito, president: Mary Pat Strouse. vice president of communica- tions.

SMA 167 Hockey Players Hit The Ice When the snow begins to fall at lUP, it is not unusual to find Ken Barkman or Dan Powell sharpening their ice skates for the beginning of the ice hockey season. The team, lead by coach John Layden. plays its usual 14-ganie season at the Belmont Arena lo- cated in Kittanning. With last year ' s record of sev- en wins, five losses and one tied game. Ken Barkman feels quite optimistic for the 87-88 season. We ' ll definitely be in the play-offs. The best teams are lUP. Gannon, and Pitt. Barkman said. This year the team gained out- standing freshmen Eric . mbler. Chris Moore and Craig Chalot to join junior starters Rob Carey and Chris Brown and senior starter Chiis Lazaroff. The play- ers feel that college ice hockey is more challenging than profes- sional hockey because they have to balance school work with the desire to hit the ice, but co-presi- dents Chris Brown and Ken Bark- man agree that the e.xcitement of the game is definitely worth the challenge. —Kristen Tohaiek Photos by Doug Mdcek Above: No. 9, Chris Brown, battles for the puck during face off.

On the inside, it is chaos. But somehow everything comes together, and every Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday, stu- dents all over campus can be seen reading The Penn, Il ' P ' s student newspaper. The Penn is staffed by over 100 students who are managed by one full-time professional. This year— on the 60th anni- versary of the publication— one small technicality arose: Jim Devlin, who for four years acted as director of student publica- tions, moved on to another job. The students were left to fend for themselves. From the end of August to the middle of October, the heads of the business, advertising and pro- duction departments were run- ning the office. Many complained that they were inefficient, inex- perienced and simply, incapable. Regardless, three days a week— maybe not always on schedule— the paper was on the streets. On October 4, the new director stepped into her office, sat down at her desk and went to work. The pressure was on— there was so much to learn in so little time. Slowly, Debra Dursi began to get a feel for the office atmo- sphere. A few extra hours of work here and there, and things finally began to fall back into place. Jane Miller and Sidra Walker, the fall and spring advertising managers, respectively, began in- troducing Dursi to the world of Penn advertising. Dursi met peo- ple from the laiger businesses in the area and became familiar with the established policies. Quynh Luong, who held the po- sition of business manager during the fall semester, helped Dursi study the monetary aspect. Mar- co Vietti took over Luong ' s posi- tion in the spring, and together he and Dursi put their efforts to- ward keeping The Penn financial- ly stable. Production Manager Gayle Schmidt was in charge of teach- ing Dursi about the complexity of the office ' s many computer sys- tems, including anything from how to turn on the machine to major problem-solving. In a matter of months, things were finally back to normal— or as normal as they would ever be in the office of The Penn. But things are never really normal there. Between the hours of 9 and 11 a.m., there are a few stragglers, but mainly all that can be found is a secretary taking a minimum amount of phone calls and taking care of general office duties. Around noon the pace picks up. Monday, Wednesday and Fri- day afternoons are ad production days. The seven advertising rep- resentatives are hard at work on the phones and the streets trying to fill advertising space. Once they sell the ad, it ' s time to head back to the office and put the production staff to work. Tuesday, Thursday and Sun- day afternoons don ' t actually pick up until after 5 p.m. Then it ' s time for the invasion of the editorial staff The fight for a compute!- terminal is on. This late-night shift can run any time between midnight and 5 a.m. when the paper is scheduled to be shipped to Gateway printers in Monroeville. How do people pass the time and keep their sanity at that time in the morning? Sports.

The Penn staff members are the founders of the Indiana H(x:k- ey League and the Indiana Base- ball League, along with many other sport variations. Most of these are played with a stuffed pumpkin and a ruler at any time of the day. When the Hadley I ' nion Build- ing received a bomb threat and the building had to be evacuated, at 7 the following morning the editorial staff filed back into the building to work steadily for the ne.xt five hours to get The Penn out by dinner time. Since then, the paper has tak- en much abuse and has received much praise. Some format changes here and there and a dif- ferent look at the world through the eyes of Editor-in-Chief James Kubus and his successor Tim Maher take the credit. But through all the conflict and the controversy, three days a week one familiar question can be heard: Did The Penn come out yet? —Gayle Schmidt 53 rT 2 ' - dc- ) Far Left: Ed Costello lays out a page for Monday ' s issue of The Penn.

CtriEMkia The Penn 171 Oak Staff Spends A Year In Motion M After much investigation and consideration, this is the official 77th volume of the OAK. The lUP yearbook was started in 1912 and was called the Instano. The name was changed to the OAK in 1928. Volume numbers came and went throughout the years; but, with the help of Phil Zorich from Uni- versity Archives, we have learned this is undoubtedly Vol- ume 77. This year ' s OAK typified the theme, A Year in Motion. Af- fectionately termed A Year of Crises by some staff members, this book went through many changes, both externally and in- ternally. We saw the departure of OAK adviser Jim Devlin and re- mained adviser-less for over a month until Debra Dursi joined the ranks. Changes among the staff were many, and sometimes it seemed there was never a dull moment in the new OAK office in the HIB. We sometimes wondered how we managed to produce anything after all of the staff changes, sti- pend cuts and never-ending lack of candids: but the Iti-member editorial staff braved through the hardships and produced one of the best books ever at IL ' P. This year ' s book also had some physical changes. More color was added, the academics section be- came once again geared toward students, and a contest was held for the OAK cover. A Year in Motion it definite- ly was, and we hope your college experience will be captured with- in the pages of the 1988 OAK. —Dana Smith COMING Joy Koob Above: Veronica Crowe and Joy Koob busily sell old OAK photos at the OAK Homecom- ing booth.

The Office Administration Club was established by the busi- ness faculty six years ago so stu- dents could meet people in the field, gain first-hand information about the business world and make outside contacts. Members receive these benefits from meet- ings, field trips and invited speakers. Dr. Sharon Steigman, a busi- ness faculty member, helped es- tablish the club, and one year after its origination in 1981, she became the adviser. She still holds the position and enjoys working with the students. Dur- ing meetings she supplies the group with information about possible field trips or speakers, and new developments in the business world. By presenting general information and making suggestions. Dr. Steigmann al- lows the officers and the other members to make the actual decisions. Field trips benefit members by providing them with actual office settings, modern technology and office procedures. In spring 1987, the students visited the IB.Vl branch office in Pittsburgh. Dur- ing spring 1988, they plan to visit Westinghouse and West Penn Power. In addition to field trips, the club scheduled two speakers for spring 1988. The lectures provide specific information about the business world and enable stu- dents to interact with the speak- ers on a one-to-one basis. —Cleo Logan Far Left: Rebecca Hixson and Theresa Dishman answer questions about Office Administration ' s upcomine field trip Doug Macek Office ' AdiuiiuiMwic Left: Row I: Ann Crum, Gabriella Coury, Sharon Wiegand, Linda Miller Row 2: Shari Maniccia, Jill Smith, Detra Freed- man, Rebecca Hixson Row 3: Beth Hane, Janet Robert.son, Sharon Melnyk, Teresa Dishman, Tracy Drabish.

KOPhi ' s Tau chapter at IL ' P was chartered May 1, 1940. Membership is based on scholar- ship and personality. The KOPhi responsibilities of membership are to further the interests of our career goals and to provide a better relationship between faculty and students, KOPhi President Irish Tatarzvn said. Joy Koob KOPhi members must be enrolled in the College of Home Economics with a major in interior design, hotel management, dietetics, nutrition, fashion merchandising, or consum- er affairs. Several members attended the Kappa Omi- cron Phi Regionals in Huntingdon, W. Va., Oct. 30-31, 1987. Seminars were conducted about time management, stress management, the organizational crest and other topics. Teach and Adult to Read was the KOPhi 1987 community project. KOPhi members, in conjunction with the .■ dult Literature Pro- gram and the Indiana Library, volunteered time to assist Indiana adults who are learning to read. KOPhi chose Commitment to Writing as its 1987-88 school year theme.

If you evef vvondeied v liy no oiganizt ' ii giiiup exists for one of your favorite activities, chances are the potential group is waiting for a founder with the above three characteristics. IIP already recognizes over 201) organizations and activities on campus, and each year that number grows. One reason why some organizations develop is he- cause of cutbacks in other groups. The Indiana Grapplers Club was founded in Spring 1987 by Ward Allebach and Ron Gross. The wrestling team was cut by lUP, .Allebach .said. Since wrestling is one of the most popu- lar sports and Pennsylvania is the most competitive state on the East Coast for wrestling, I knew there were people who wanted to wrestle. I know I did. Twenty-nine people signed up for the group. That spring the Grapplers elected officers and be- gan to draw up their constitution. All groups must compose a con- stitution and have it approved by the Student Government Associa- tion and the Office of Student Ac- tivities Organizations before being officially recognized as an lUP organization. It took us a year to become recognized, Allebach said, but foi ' someone who has the time to organize things sufficiently, it would probably take 0-8 weeks. Debby Albert and Meg Shuey. co-founders of the U ' P Women ' s Leadership Caucus, believe pub- licity is a problem. Creating interest in the orga- nization is our biggest difficulty right now, . lbert said. The Women ' s Caucus at lUP was inspired by a similar group at the University of Florida. Meg and I attended a national womens leadership conference in Washington, D.C., in June (1987), Albert said. The caucus sounded like something neat to have at U ' P to help women lead- ers on campus and to build better relationships between organizations. The :io-memher group formed in September and submitted its constitution in April. Currently the caucus is a subcommittee of the Women ' s Advisory Council. As you can see, to successfully get a new group off the ground, a special mix of initiative, motiva- tion and determination must be achieved. -Stacev L. Bell Feature 177 The Greek community at IIP spent a year in motion trying to improve their image. The 22 fraterni- ties and 17 sororities spent a great deal of time raising money for their philan- thropies through such activities as Del- ta Gamma ' s Beautiful Eyes. Phi Delta Theta ' s baskethall-bouncing marathon. Greeks Sigma Chi Derby Days, the . SA Spring Kiclvoff and KDRsWalk to Pitts- burgh, just to name a few. In the midst of this activity. new- Greek organizations were being formed and working toward receiving their charters. Kappa Gamma sorority and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity had a busy year meeting the require- ments to begin a new Greek organization. Stricter regulations imposed last year by the university con- trolled much of the underage drinking which once took place at the fraterni- ties, and entry into parties became more difficult as brothers became more wary of fines by the LCB and possible loss of recognition by the university. Social activities certainly didn ' t suf- fer through all of this service-oriented activity. April ' s Greek Week and Greek Sing enabled the panicipants to break loose and compete while having fun. Greek Happy Hour became a Friday tra- dition, as did the usual mixers, date parties and formals. This year marked the first of the new sorority rush system, with infor- mal rush in the fall and formal rush in the spring. Fraternities also continued with their dry rush policy.

Bdl MiMack Greeks 179 Greek System Fulfills Needs Of Students The Greek Life System is an integral part of lUP and of many students at the University. The system spans 73 years beginning in 1915 with the chartering of two national sororities. The first fraternity at lUP was founded in 1930. Since then, the 22 fraternities and 18 sororities, make up the largest greek community in the State System of Higher Education, with more than 1,800 members. There are two inter-fraternal organizations within lUP ' s Greek System: the Interfraternity Council for fraternities, and the Pan- hellenic Council for Sororities. Members of the different Greek Organizations make up the e.xecutive officers of the two groups. IFC president for the 1987-1988 academic year was Sigma Chi Dan NichoUs. President of Panhel was Delta Gamma Marta Braun in the fall, and Alpha Omicron Pi sister Melanie Nestor in the spring. According to Terry . ppoIonia, assistant director of Greek Life, The future of the system depends exclusively on its ability to fulfill legitimate needs, such as leadership outlet, a sense of belong- ing, and deinstitutionalizing an institutionalized atmosphere for students at the unversity. Appolonia believes that the Greek System offers students a chance to belong to something personalized, not just to a university of 13,000 students. As a university, our primary product is the student. We have to produce, in four years, a well-rounded individual, Appolonia said. While developing that type of individual, ll ' P greeks participated in numerous activities over the 1987-88 academic year, during which time they contributed more than 5,000 manhours and ap- proximately 830,000 toward charitable causes. Also during 1987-88 sororities changed traditional formal rush period from the fall to the spring. According to Kelly Carson, vice president of rush for the 1987-88 academic year, The main changes have only been with changing formal rush to the beginning of the spring semester. Carson added that there was a good reason foi ' this change. Better planning and more time to get the information out is the primary reason for the change. This way sororities can get informa- tion out to prospective rushees at the end of the fall semester. Then, those students have a chance to orientate themselves with campus and college life before they go through rush. Carson believes it will do the greek system a lot of good. In general, these students will be better established on campus and comfortably settled in while making their contribution to our greek system. —Jean DePietress m t ,1 180 Carl Ejtkm Ooug Macek Center: The Spirit of Greeiv Life - The Greek Sing Audience Top: Dells enjoy a ' rcxif party.

The sisterhood consists of 65 members and numerous alumnae who celebrate the present and fu- ture of progressive leadership, service, and self-development of- fered by the organization. The Alpha Gams take pride in their red and buff roses and col- ors, which are red, buff, and green. Their mascot is the squir- rel. The Fall 1987 sweetheart is Delta Tau Delta brother Steve Seifried. Each semester, the sisters of AGD have a busy social schedule including a formal, date parties, mixers and individual chapter programs. In the fall, they host the annual Mr. lUP pageant which earned over $2,000 for Ju- venile Diabetes and the Interna- tional Founders Memorial Foundation. Delta Gamma ' s Anchor Clanker, homecoming, Greek Week, Sigma Chi Derby Days, and a variety of other fraternity and sorority sponsored projects are included as AGD activities. The AGD sisters also won Kappa Sig- ma ' s powdei-puff football championship. The members of Alpha Gamma Delta take pride in winning the Mary Stella Wolfe award for Out- standing Sorority for the past five years. Alpha Gamma Delta is more than just a social club; it ' s a net- work of close and special friends working together for a common goal. Because of AGD, my college career holds many wonderful memories, said Justine Perzia, 1987-88 President. — Michelle Cerato Top center: AGD execs, Jn.Ann Divito, Pierette Reyes, Linda Despoy, and Kelly Willis surround current President Justine Perzia.

Phi Mu was founded at Wes- leyan College in Macon, Ga., on January 4, 1852. The IL ' P Chapter was formed in 1950, one of five Pennsylvania Chapters. Their philanthropy. Project H.O.P.E. (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere) is a group that teaches the latest medical and dental techniques to health personnel in developing countries. The sorority also con- tributes to the Children ' s Miracle Network. Phi Mus raised money for these organizations by selling carnations and working every summer at Idlewild Park. They had fun participating in DCs .Anchor Clanker in which they placed third. They also par- ticipated in Greek Sing and Greek Week activities. We try to involve ourselves in all the activities Greeks sponsor on campus, said Tina Knep- shield, a Phi Mu sister. Phi Mu ' s colors are rose and white and a rose-colored carna- tion represents their flower. Their mascot is a lion. The Phi Mu sister ' s motto is Les Soeurs Fideles, meaning the faithful sisters. — Pattie Booze GAMMA DELTA Jo} hoob Rim I: Lee .Ann Hanlon. Debbie . nsman, Cindy PIcard, Donna Harper.

DG Aids Blind With Anchor Clanker The Epsilon Eta chapter of Delta Gamma was founded at IL ' P on March 21, 1981, and the chapter current ly has 65 mem- bers, making it one of the largest sororities on campus. Each fall, the sisters of Delta Gamma hold the annual Anchor Clanker, a crazy contest between fraternity and sorority teams, to raise money for their philanthro- py, Aid to the Blind. In the spring, they sponsor the Beauti- ful Eyes contest. In addition to these activities. Delta Gamma also participates in Greek Week, Sigma Chi Derby Days, Alpha Gamma Delta ' s .Mr. lUP contest and homecoming. The Delta Gamma sisters also find time to be involved in stu- dent government, hall counseling, ROTC, and the Penn staff. Delta Gamma ' s colors are bronze, pink and blue, and their symbol is the anchor. Their flow- er is the cream rose, and their sweetheart is Phi Delta Theta brother Carl Halkyer. I am very pleased to see how the Greek system as a whole has developed and I think that Delta Gamma has contributed largely to this growth, said DG Cathey Stelbotsky, —Michelle Cerato ASA Spring Kickoff Raises Money The Alpha Gamma chapter of Alpha Sinma Alpha sorority had two busy and productive semes- ters this year. With a meinbeiship of o4 sis- ter ' s, ASA devoted much time and energy into numei ' ous social and contributory events on campus, many dealing with the sororities ' philanthropy, Special Olympics. In the fall, ASA participated in Homecoming with Sigma Nu, and constructed a float with the theme Ground Hog Day for the parade. Over homecoming week- end, the sisteis and pledges treat- ed the paients and alumni to a tea in the ASA suite. The sisters displayed their ath- letic ability and placed second in Kappa Sigma ' s powderpuff foot- ball tournament. Socially, the sis- ters organized two successful date parties, a formal, and visited ASA sistei ' s at Penn State foi ' a weekend. The spring semester proved to be the busiest time for Alpha Sig- ma Alpha. They organized their second annual Spring Kickoff fundraiser, in which all of the fraternities on campus partici- pated. Among the many activi- ties, the Hot Bod contest and various field events made the day a huge success. ASA ' s motto is Aspire, Seek, Attain. All members of ASA proved that they can achieve the spirit of their motto through the many activities and contributions to lUP and the community. —John Xess Doug Maa-k Top left: ASA sisters cheer as their float makes its way along the parade route.

ASA 185 AOTT Triples Membership Nicknamed the Pi Girls, Al- pha Omicron Pi (AOTT) is defini- tely on the move. They nearly tripled their size in under two years. The Gamma Beta chapter, almost 50 girls strong, was estab- lished on the lUP campus on Feb. 26, 1966. We ' ve been constantly im- proving, and we feel that our growth has contributed to the overall growth of the Greek sys- tem, said Lisa Morneweck, chap- ter president. Each of the chap- ter members is different, yet we all find a common bond in AOTT. Nationally founded on January 2, 1987 at Barnard College in New York, the sorority participates in date parties, mixers and formals each semester. Every fall, AOTT sponsors the Sweetest Sweet- heart contest to raise money for their philanthropy, the Arthritis Research Foundation. They raised over $200 last October. In the fall, the Pis won hon- orable mention for their Hannu- kah float with Pi Kappa Phi and competed in DG ' s Anchor Clanker. Ex ' s Derby Days, Phi Psi ' s Superdance, Greek Week and Greek Sing with Kappa Delta Rho kept the group busy in the spring. AOTT ' s national symbol is the panda bear and their local sym- bol, the lady bug. Their flower is the Jacqeminot rose, color - Car- dinal red and jewel - the ruby. The chapter ' s sweetheart is Karl McCall, and their advisors are Cindy Lexow, and Dr. Spieker. — Maria Maxin Top right: AXiD Sue Ann Rittle sings with an ATO partner as park of Greek Sing.

The Delta Nu chapter was formed the following yeai- when the 0-Phis affiliated with Alpha Xi Delta and became a national fraternal organization. 1988 is the 25th an- niversary of the founding of the Delta Nu chapter. Over the last Tive years, Alpha Xi has undergone many changes. The improvements to the chapter have brought about more involve- ment and an increase in member- ship. There are currently over 40 active sisters. In the fall of 87, AXiD has participated in several campus and Greek activities. To support their philanthropy, the .American Lung Association, Alpha Xi held their annual Mr. Lung Contest. Contestants were judged on their lung capacity, appearance, and amount of money raised. Jody Wireman, an Alpha Tau Omega brother, came away with the trophy. ATO Greg Primm, the AXiD sweetheart, won the AOPi Sweet- est Sweetheart contest. Other events the Alpha Xis have partic- ipated in include the DG Anchor Clanker, the Red Cross Blood drive, Phi Mus toy drive for needy children, and Theta Phi Al- pha clothing drive. Dark blue, light blue and gold are the colors of Alpha Xi Delta, and their flower is the pink rose. The teddy bear is their mascot, and their symbol is the quill. — Veronica Crowe ALPHA OMICDON PI Row y.CarIa Caimi. Beth Huchko, Lori Bigham, Caria Markiewich.

Delta Zeta Promotes Unity lUP ' s chapter of Delta Zeta has been on campus since 1952. and currently has 65 members. The sisters of Delta Zeta par- ticipated in various events during the year, including Greek Week, powder puff football. Derby Days, and homecoming. Their float, which they created with Phi Del- ta Theta. won third place in the homecoming parade this year. Delta Zeta ' s philanthropy is Aid to the Hearing Impaired, and this year, the chapter sold ba- loons in order to raise money. Their colors are rose and green, and their flower is a calarny rose. Their symbol is a golden lamp and their mascot is a turtle. Dee Zees fall 1987 sweetheart was Phi Delt Tim Bukowski. who along with DZ Laurel Pagoda, were this year ' s Homecoming King and Queen. Delta Zeta has worked hard to promote Greek unity and it ' s been very exciting tu be a part of the Greek system. said DZ mem- ber Tanya Lowes. There has been an incredible amount of participation in the ac- tivities planned for Greeks than there has been in the past, and we ' re proud that we ' re right there to be able to join in the fun. 188 KAPPA GAMMA KG Formed This Year By Friends Kappa Gamma was founded February 10, 1987, on the lUP campus. There were sixteen founding sisters who wanted a way to express themselves, and they found one: They went greek. It was a joint effort, says Kiersten Hartman, president of Kappa Gamma. She explained that at first it was a bunch of friends, but the group quickly de- veloped into a sorority. Kappa Gamma ' s activities in- clude Delta Gamma ' s Anchor Clanker, in which they took sec- ond place overall, the Beautiful Eyes contest, the Cutest Couple contest and Homecoming, where they placed seventh along with Theta Xi, Derby Days, Greek Sing with Alpha Chi Rho and Greek Week. Kappa Gamma has benefited several philanthropies. March 21 through 25 they raised almost $3200 for the National Arthritis Foundation. Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Gamma bounced a basket- ball for 100 hours straight. Kappa Gamma and Phi Sigma Kappa collected money on Phila- delphia Street and sold raffle tickets to raise about $1500 for the Ebensburg Retarded Citizens Center. Kappa Gamma ' s colors are lav- ender and peacock and their flower is the lavender rose. They have two symbols, the white but- terfly and the koala bear. Al- though they have several mottos, Hartman said that the group stresses individuality. This is evi- dent in the way which Kappa Gamma started— friends wanting to express themselves as different. —Amy Thewes Front row: Nancy Hutzler, Darcy Cathcart, Kathy Laird, Jennifer Goeller Irish Tatarzyn, Sheri Settino, Mindy Bozik, Second Row: iea.nne Meyer, Nancy Lahosky, Chrissy Kotjarapollus, Kiersten Hartmann, Audra Storms, Shari McCollough, Mi- chelle Brosinus.

The year was kicked off by homecoming with the brotheis of Delta Sigma Phi. The sisters held an Alumni Tea homecoming morning, and giaduates from as early as the U)5(ls enteitained with stories of their Zeta Days. The fall semester included Founder ' s Day, Anchor Clanker, a hayride, and pledge formal at the Holiday Inn in Johnstown. The Fall highlight was ZTA ' s Orange Crush. Men on campus receive secret invitations to this traditional event. The spring semester began with a succe.ssful rush, with member- ship nearing 70 women. The sisters held their annual Cutest Couple contest to benefit the Association for Retarded Citizens. Zetas also participated in the Phi Psi dance marathon, which prepared them for the long Greek Sing practice hours with Sigma Nu. Greek Week activities included many hours including awards for volleyball, billiards, and Jeopardy. Sigma Chi Derby Days ended the competitions for the yeai ' . Other social events included a date pary and the annual Senior Banquet, where younger sisters roast the giaduating members. Completing the spiing calendar was a spectacular formal at the Greentree-Marriott. Although the sisters are a diverse group and outside activities range from cheerleading to student government, they hold the common bond of friendship. The similarities run much deeper than the visual display of their turquoise and giey letters. Zeta Tau Alpha has been a pait of my life since freshman year, I could not imagine what college would have been like without it. I know when I look back upon the past years my fondest memories will be of ZTA, said graduating senior Susan Jenkins. — Paula Presnai From nni. T. Schroble, K. Ferguson, D, Ashurst, C. Crist, K.

Phi Delts were proud to have se- lected Delta Zeta sister Kim Piper as their sweetheart. —John Yount BiU Mtthlact Carl EaUn Theta Chi Stresses Brother Relations Theta Chi fraternity strived to increase the bonds within the brotherhood this yar. We ' ve been stressing inter- brother relations, said Theta Chi secretary Chet Kerr. You ' ve got to be able to ques- tion each other, Kerr said, and added that within a 60-member organization, communication is very important. Kerr said this has strength- ened the brotherhood, along with more activities as a fraternity. One of these activities included a 24-hour volleyball marathon to raise money for charity, which the brothers held in April with Sigma Kappa sorority. The lUP chapter of Theta Chi was founded in 1957, and its members take pride in actively participating in their organiza- tion as well as outside activities such as SGA and various student government committees. Theta Chis also participated in the usual spring Greek activities including Greek Week and Greek Sing, and welcomed alumni dur- ing the fall Homecoming celebration. —Dana Smith THETA CHI Doug Mdcek Front row: Bob Getty, Pat Kochanowski, Mike Soncini, Ray Passeau, Keith Barclay.

Held in the Memorial Field House on April 10, Greek Sing was a chance for sororities and fraternities to show theii- sing- ing and dancing talents as well as promote greek unity. This year ' s winners were Theta Phi Alpha and Theta Chi, who performed an upbeat, styl- ish dirty dance routine to I ' ve Had the Time of . ' Vly Life and Do You Love Me, from the hit movie Dirty Dancing. Second runner-up was Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi Delta Theta tor their rendition of the Olympic ceremonies. Finally, tied for- third were baby boomers Alpha Tau Omega Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Sigma Alpha Phi Sigma Kappa who danced to themes from the musical Grease. All the time and work we put into it was all worth it when they announced us as winning first place, said Theta Phi Al- pha Dirty Dancer Jennifer Tasca, who said the two groups pr ' acticed every night for hour-s for- about three weeks befor-e the big day. Newcomers to lUP ' s Greek System Pi Kappa Phi and Kappa Gamma were welcomed to Gr-eek Sing by their competitors as well as the crowd. Approximately 30 sororities and fraternities performed in fr-ont of a mostly-Greek cr-owd of over 1000 people. The enthu- siasm of the spectators encour- aged the participants to do their best and have a great time. —Lori Grace 200 J -St n Top left: Lambda Chi Dan Nalli and Sig Kap Heidi Huck jam to a Beatles medley Top cen- ter: Sigma Nu Darrin Gabriel and Zeta Janet Baker look good after weeks of practice Top right: Phi Sig Jason Hawkins and ASA Joy Kalajainen rock to the musical Grease.

Greet Sing photos by BUI Muhlick Greek Sing 201 ' iL Circcks Greek Week 1988 The week of April lO-HJ was dedicated t(i 111 ' Greeks in the form of Greek Week. A host of games, activities and events, Greek Week brings together :)n sororities and fra- ternities for one special cause, the United Way. This year ' s Greek Week philanthropy, the Indiana United Way Chapter was given $2000 from IL ' H ' s so- rorities and fraternities from the sale of Greek Week T-shirts, sponsored by Dominos. The week kicked off with the song and dance celebration, Greek Sing. Sororities and fra- ternities pair up to perform a variety of dancing acts. This year ' s winners were Theta Phi Alpha and Theta Chi, who per- formed a remake from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. This event gave way to a se- ries of daily events. Ranging from Greek Jeopardy to Greek gorge, an eating contest, Greek organizations took part in many activities including banner con- tests, volleyball, racquetball, a pledge-plus enrichment series, miniature golf, pyramid build- ing, arcade games, scavenger hunts, and field day, a variety of games and relay races. .Mthough sororities and fra- ternities won different events, only one took top honors. The winning fraternity was Tau Kappa Epsilon and the sorority was Theta Phi Alpha. Although Greek Week is a se- ries of fun and games, it is tak- en very seriously by Greek organizations. The first annual awards ban- quet took place on .April 19. Chapter and individual awards and certificates were given to deserving fraternities and so- rorities, their members and ad- visors, for a job well done. The purpose of Greek Week is to promote interaction between Greek organizations, an attempt at fundraising for charitable or- ganizations and visibility of the Greek system, according to Ter- rv Appolonia, director of Grek Life. I think it ' s great that so many people can come together for one cause and have fun do- ing it, Appolonia said. —Lori Grace 1988 Greek Week King Brian Niccoli It finally arrived. Our senior year was here, the year we could relax, enjoy ourselves, and build those last few precious memories which we ' d carry with us throughout our lives. Or so we thought. As seniors, we found ourselves in motion more than ever before; between preparing re- sumes, applying and interviewing for Seniors t somewhere. Seniors Editor: Christine Pinto 204 Seniors jobs, cramming in those last-minute credits we needed to graduate, and pre- paring mentally and physically for life beyond college, we found there wasn ' t much time to relax at all. But somehow we managed to squeeze some fun in As seniors, we had the _ privileges which we thought made us su- perior to the rest of the juvenile under- class population. We got to schedule first (after the athletes), we could work our way into any class we needed ( but I need it to graduate . . . ), we could get in . __ _ _ uptown legally, and above all, we just had that senior attitude. Of course, by mid-semester in the fall, that senior attitude became better known as sen- ioritis, something which we probably haven ' t felt since high school. We still had the advantages of a senior, but our mental capacity began swiftly shrivel- ling into, Hey, I ' m a senior. I deserve to go out and have fun . . . it ' s my last semester. And so it went throughout the spring semester. As the weather turned warmer, that senior affliction became even more terminal, and before we knew it, we were receiveing the You have been tentatively approved for graduation letters, information about our caps and gowns, and the ever-welcomed rejection letters. Al- though it may not have been before graduation, eventually that long await- ed acceptan ce letter did arrive, and we had to say goodbye to our last case of senioritis and our university where we spent The Best Years of Our Lives.

One of the major problems we ' ve had in the past has been that the seniors just didn ' t know about the drive, Kelley Cibulas, the drive ' s co-chairman said. The approach that Kelley and co-chair senior class president Dave Wolczko chose for the 1988 drive attempted to contact more seniors directly. This was done under a new system which broke down the solicitation effort and involved more seniors. The two co-chairs appointed six seniors to be leaders for each of the university ' s six colleges. These leaders also appointed leaders under them to encourage seniors in each department to help with the drive. Kelley, Dave, the six college leaders and drive treasurer Grey Nanney made up the executive cabinet which met weekly during the spring semester to help plan promotional events, such as the senior reception held March 24 in the Blue Room, and to discuss how the solicitation methods were working. For next year ' s drive, and all future Senior Fund Drives, it is hoped that the class president can use the same setup but can start earlier in the year. Dave said: It ' s the senior class president ' s responsibility to help make the drive a success, and the earlier he gets the drive going, the more seniors will become aware of it and want to contribute. In the past, efforts for the Se- nior Fund Drive have been last- minute attempts directed at the senior class in general. Hopefully, the system developed by the Class of 1988 will be the ground- work for future classes to use and build upon for future successes. — Ward AUebach -« ' ' Top: Chris Bertani and Kevin White give it their all at the senior reception while, Left: co-chairs Kelley Cibulas and Dave Wolczko pose with President Welly.

M Doug Macek Doug Mdcek Way to go— for those students graduating with a 4.0! Karen Bodnar, 22, is one of those students. Karen, an elementary educa- tion major with a concentration in mathematics, wori ed hard to achieve her peifect QPA. Things didn ' t come easy to me; I had to study just as hard as everyone else, she said. Karen spent most of her fresh- man year in the library. However, as the semesters went by, she learned better study habits and was able to ease up on the library time a little bit. Although Karen still spends much of her time studying to keep up her grades, she also makes time foi ' hei- hobbies and activities. Karen belongs to Kappa Delta Pi, an honoiary education frater- nity, and was a member of the Association for Childhood Educa- tion International for three Theresa Prowell, 21, is another 4.0 graduate. Theresa, a psychology major with a minoi ' in applied statistics, says she enjoys learning which in turn makes it easy to study. Some people may think you have to study hard to achieve a 4.0, but for me studying came easily, she said honestly. Theresa says she studies for about three hours each evening and also studies a little in the mornings and on the weekends. She says she gets bored with studying unless she has the radio or the television on in the background. From my study habits, my friends really would never know that I have a 4.0, she said. I just study to do the best I can, not to be the best. Theresa, does a lot more than study, however. She works at the years. Karen also enjoys playing the guitar. She has been playing since she was two years old. I play mostly for my own en- joyment, but sometimes I play for my friends, Karen said. She says she really values the friendships she has made here at lUP. Next to my education, my friends are the most important thing to me, she said. Karen spent her last semester at lUP doing her student teaching in the second grade at the Uni- versity School. Karen taught math, history, science and reading. After leaving lUP, Karen hopes to pursue her teaching ca- reer in .Maryland. Good luck, Karen, and congrat- ulations. You ' ve made quite an achievement. — Lori Y. Grace cafeteria; is a member of Campus Crusade for Christ; is vice presi- dent of Psi Chi, the honorary psy- chology society; and does volun- teer work at Grace United ! ethodist Church. Theresa transferred to lUP from Messiah College in the fall of 1986 for financial reasons. She says lUP took a little getting used to because the students here are quite different from the ones at Messiah. She says they ' re a lot nicer here. After graduation, Theresa plans to move to North Dakota and find work in the area of hu- man services. She says that she is drawn to that field because she is a peo- ple person. She ' s also a person with a lot to be proud of. Good job, Theresa! —Lori y. Grace Lisa Franks Agostini Int. Des. Hous. Hopwood Nicole Aita Int. Des. Hous.

Doug, a safety science major from Monroeville, Pa., found out about coopeiati e education from the safety science faculty coordi- nator, Robert .McClay Jr. Cooperative education differs from internship programs be- cau.se it consists of at least two periods of work experiences al- ternating with classroom study, it may be scheduled as early as a student ' s sophomore year, and it always consists of a paid position. Doug completed three coopera- tive work experiences during his five years at UP. His first work experience was at an IB.M reseat ch and develop- ment facility at Kingston, N.V.. during the summer of 198o. .At IB.M, he and four safety engi- neers tested computer software. In the fall of 198(). Doug was sent to another IBM facility in Charlotte, .C. The main focus at the manu- facturing facility there was fire and industrial hygiene, so it was more of a hazardous place to work. I did enjoy the area, though, and I loved the climate, he said. His final experience was com- pleted last summer at the Occi- dental Chemical Corporation in Kenton, Ohio. Doug said he found cooperative education to be very beneficial because it gave him some insight into the working world. 1 had the opportunity to see how projects really worked, he said. I even worked on develop- ing some projects of my own. Doug feels that he developed better people skills while on the job. ' 1 learned to interact well with the people, especially the profes- sionals, Doug explained. I dis- tinguished different levels of communication among the vari- ous le els of workers, from man- agement to the lowest level. After graduation, Doug plans to spend a year training with the International Paper Company. He will spend three months in Geor- gia, three months in Tennessee and another six months wherever the company sends him. Doug believes that cooperative education helps students build confidence and morale Students need to be some- what mature in today ' s business world. They must be willing to accept responsibility, to take ini- tiative and to back off when nec- essary, he said. Doug advised all safety science majors to participate in coopera- tive education. If not all students can experi- ence it, I think safety science ma- jors should. There is a lot of guid- ance available, and they don ' t expect you to work miracles. Overall, cooperative educa- tion gave me a better knowledge and understanding of my working field and prepared me well for job interviews, he said. — Colleen Grav Overall, cooperative education gave me a better knowledge and understanding of my working field and prepared me well for job interviews.

Zimmerman Journalism Mars A Non-Traditional Success Story They ' re e eiy vheie. Non-traditional students. Older students. Continuing education students. Whatever you choose to call them, they are a part of our campus. They are people who come back to receive their college de- grees after they ' ve been out of high school for a number of years. They encounter the same apprehensions, fears and joy that any other student encounters. They live, learn and gmw with us and we with them. Many of these adult students venture to IIP from far away, but very few come here from En- gland. .Avril Barwick did. .And she has shown what a non-traditional student can do. Avril moved to Indiana with her husband, Roger, nine years ago. They had oiiginall mo ed from England to Philadelphia to follow Roger ' s job at Seasonall. While in Philadelphia. .Avril wrote theater reviews for three newspapers. She based her re- views on the 12 years of drama experience she had gotten in En- gland when she was involved with a theater group. .Avril and Roger eventually moved to Indi- ana to follow Roger ' s job. I found myself in a university town— so why not use if. ' .Avril asked. She said hei- husband sug- gested the idea because she would have never thought of it. She said he was and has always been extremely supportive of her college career. Avril, 43, interned at the Indi- ana Gazette in the fall and is now- employed there full-time. She said she enjoys her work very much and loves to write. Ever since I did my theater reviews, I knew I wanted to write, so I went light to journal- ism, she said. She said she had investigated the possibilities of going to school part-time or going through the school of continuing education, but decided to forget those alternatives and go full- time, It wasn ' t like I didn ' t have the time, Avril said. Since her two sons, 15 and 16, are at boarding schools in En- gland, she had the time during the day to go to school. It worked out great because when they were at a school, 1 was at school and when they were off, I was off, she explained. Even though she had the time to go to classes, Avril still had to keep her house in ordei-, her mar- riage sound and her meals cooked while she diligently studied. She said it was hard to get back in the habits of studying and reading. I don ' t remember ever completing all the reading, but I made a good stab at it, she said. She said she had to reiearn how to study to succeed. She learned this well. Because of her commitment and stamina, .Avril was named to the Dean ' s List for six of her eight f ¥ 1 ■% DoatMtcrk semesters here. She said she en- joyed her classes ve ry much and that made it easier to do well. Avril will receive her bachelor of arts degree in journalism this May. She is excited to graduate, as is every other senior. But she, as an adult student, can be especially proud. .Adult students came back to a world they left years earlier and had to re-acquaint themselves with school, students and book work. Hats off to the adult seniors. And congratulations, .Avril, for a job well done. — Jeffrey A. Moran . vril Barwick 253 Barbara Jo Aimino Biology-Pre Med Indiana Carol R.

They ' re right there ... The day couldn ' t have been more perfect. Even the weather was on our side as we strode through the streets of Indiana in our dispos- able gowns, heading for Miller Stadium and the big event. Our four or more years were soon to come to somewhat of an anti-cli- mactic conclusion amidst a swarm of our peers. The almost 2000 seniors seemed somewhat disen- chanted with speaker George Gallup ' s laments about the trials and steady downfall of our society, as they were anxiously wait- ing for that grand moment when they could flip their tassels and become official graduates. Although seniors wouldn ' t receive their actu- al diplomas until weeks lat- er in the mail, most stu- dents moved on to the somewhat more personal- ized departmental ceremonies. Nothing but smiles were found on the faces of par- ents and graduates, and generations gathered to celebrate for one last time before leaving their alma mater. 260 Seniors Above: Soon-to-he graduates walk In the solemn processional.

Little did the 1988 OAK staff know when we chose that theme just how appropriate it would be. Even be- fore the actual academic year be- gan, things were off to a roaring start. At the end of the summer, the OAK was moved from the spa- cious office in Pratt basement to the clustered confines of the HUB. But with this more central- ized location, life would become much easier, with the commute to the Penn being just down the hall. With visions of last year ' s late book in my mind and sounds of screaming ex-seniors in my ears, the goal was set: to get the 1988 books out on time at any cost (except the cost of quality.) This goal, however, could not be achieved without interruption. And as you read through the book, I ' d like to relive some of the times that made that goal almost impossible. The first barrier was a large one. The OAK ' s adviser, Jim Dev- lin, announced he was leaving lUP to take on a new job in Maine. The OAK was adviser-less for about a month, and while we should have been planning the book, much time was spent inter- viewing applicants for Jim ' s posi- tion. The weeks went by, and the search resulted in the hiring of Deb Dursi. Although not very ex- perienced in yearbooks. Deb was anxious to learn, and with the help of Quynh Luong, who han- dled some of the OAK ' s business matters. Deb was soon on her way to exploring the wonderful world of yearbooks. Fall Semester was consumed for the most part by waiting for the 1987 OAK to come in. The 1987 books were finished the day before Christmas break, and af- ter a trip to State College, the 1987 book was practically history and we began to concentrate on the 1988 book. Upon returning from winter break, the OAK was equipped with a new computer. Unfortu- nately, it was a bit too late in the year to start, but it was another step in our year of motion. The book was now moving in full swing, and it was coming togeth- er great. The next problem was also rather large: Quynh graduat- ed, and Bob Lepley, our assistant business manager, was leaving 5 for an internship. The business duties were now on my shoulders, but with the help of Deb, they were taken care of. The final blow in the year of crises affected the staff the most. A committee decided that OAk section editors, who received less than minimal compensation for long hours of work, would not be getting paid beginning next year. The laments could probably continue, but the finished prod- uct is the main concern. Whle looking at the book, it is some- what amazing that we were able to produce such a high-quality product, and each staff member contributed their own special flair to make each section a highlight. First was Amy, the only sec- tion editor to come close to meet- ing a deadline. Pattie, although inexperienced, became a perma- nent fixture at sports informa- tion, and always came through (even without any candids). Can- dids were also the key word for Greeks, and sometimes it felt like that section would never go any- where, but it turned out to be the best Greek section ever. Taking on a new look was the academics section, and Carl 12 artworks Eakin, after many late-night marathons and much berating from me, put out the best academics section the OAK has ever had. Chris, Susan, Veronica, Robin, were wonderful assets to the staff, and if it weren ' t for Stacey, the saviour of organizations, I ' d probably still be working on that section now. And we all owe thanks to Doug and Joy for tak- ing all of these last-minute photos. Finally, a word of thanks to Larry Intihar, whose guidance and story-of-the-month were al- ways welcomed and much need- ed, and everyone at Davor — Gemma, Esther, Abe, Tim and Pam. They ' ve finally learned the meaning of the world Rush and we took advantage of it! Now that the motion has died down, the last words of the 1988 book are now being put to paper, and we met our goal, we know it was all worth it, and we hope you ' ll agree. Enjoy! — Dana Smith b The OAK The 1988 OAK of Indiana University of Pennsylvania was printed in offset lithog- raphy by Jostens Printing and Publishing Division, State College, Pennsylvania.
