Ca The Greatest WaHenda Plunges To Death Chief Justice 1978 Volume 36 Marshall University Huntington. W. Va. 25701 Foreword The textbook is certainly a dominant aspect of college life, as any student can testify after spend- ing hours pouring over one. Intellectual maturity is gained not only in the classroom. Yet costly textbooks are a key element in the battle for quality points and grade-point averages. All this leads to the coveted academic degree, the goal sought with varying degrees of effort by every Marshall student. Why discuss a textbook in a yearbook? Because of the inherent difficulties in producing a year- book. In theory, a yearbook should have a central theme that typifies the year it strives to summa- rize. However, the more Marshall was dissected and analyzed, the more obvious it became that no sin- gle concept exists that could apply to such a vast, disjointed entity as Marshall University. Since all Marshall students, no matter how di- verse their individual interests, can relate to text- books, it seemed appropriate to incorporate text- book qualities within the 1978 Chief Justice. Like a textbook, the yearbook supplies informa- tion on its subject, Marshall University, during the 1977-78 academic year. Like a textbook, the year- book features questions concerning its contents. While patterned after textbook questions, the questions in this yearbook have a distinct differ- ence - they fail to take themselves seriously. These questions have failed to appreciate the necessary emphasis placed on academic concerns. Perhaps that is the main point of the 1978 Chief Justice. If students, and perceptive professors, re- alize the most relevant questions and decisions of a Marshall student ' s college career lie beyond classroom walls, why should the yearbook try to superficially present a view otherwise?

Just where do Marshall ' s priorities lie? An extravagant sum of $430,CX)0 has been appropriated for new Astroturf for Fairfield Stadium, for a team that cannot manage to produce a break- even season. At the same time, Marshall ' s chem- istry majors continue their pursuit of that coveted college degree in nothing more than a firetrap. Yet, it is hardly fair to imply that sports play no important role in the lives of Marshall students, as any bas- ketball observer can attest. Stu Aber- deen and a welcome relief of show- manship basketball created a fervor long forgotten on Marshall ' s campus. After a 47-year lapse, West Virgin- ia ' s two universities clashed in a bas- ketball confrontation. The Mountain- eers ' coliseum echoed jeering chants of Marshall College long after the last disappointed Herd supporter fil- tered out of the building. The Herd ' s effort fell short, as far as the scoreboard was concerned, 80-73. The Legislature was again able to relax, smugly convinced that Marshall, on the losing end of a basketball game, is truly inferior to f e university of West Virginia. Academic superiority is not settled on a basketball court. So what is it about only a game that has the pow- er to unite almost an entire student body? Are varsity sports, because of their ostentatious nature, worth having the place at the top of Marshall ' s priori- ties? MU is not a football school, and a new $430,000 carpet will not make it more so. Iritroduction Introduction Each individual must decide if it ' s worth it However, it is not fair to saddle the Board of Regents, the Legislature or Marshall ' s administration with such an apparent misallocation of financial and moral support. The majority of Marshall ' s popula- tion either must be satisfied with the situation or too preoccupied to take an interest. In a breakdown of student fees, $18.55 out of $73.30 goes to intercolle- giate athletics. But no dissident opin- ion was voiced when an additional $1.70 for athletics was approved. An increase was also approved for Marshall ' s residence halls - an addi- tional $39.13 per semester was added to the $837.50 for Towers. $793 for Buskirk. and $784.50 for Laidley. Hodges and South. On the other hand, Marshall exper- ienced several new developments dur- ing the academic year. The first 34 med school students began classes in January. Ground was broken for Aca- demic Building B. Earth samples were taken as the first step in the construc- tion of the multi-purpose athletic fa- cility. But the basic problems haunting Marshall ' s population remain. Living conditions in the dormitories sagged to even more decadent depths. Com- muters were still plagued with the dai- ly dilemma of finding a place to park. A state institution possessing all the inherent follies accompanying aca- demic emphasis, Marshall opens its doors to all who care to take up resi- dence in its hallowed halls of higher education. Has it all been worth it? Only each individual student can decide.

(4 points) levators one or many trouoies Moving in tedious even with family ' s help Moving in, that dreaded part of col- lege existence thai always turned out worse than ever imagined, was a tedious job even if the entire family helped. MarshalTs dormitories have earned the reputation of creating nothing but formidable obstacles for residents who attempt to make moving in as easy an enterprise as possible. Undependable elevators awaited the naive freshmen or incurably optimistic upperclassmen who patiently wailed and wailed and waited - onlv to have the elevator open its doors, allow itself to be loaded to capacity, and, in the stubborn manner that only elevators possess, refuse to budge. After unloading the elevator and walking up a never-ending flight of stairs, the student has met with the for- midable task of meeting the room- mate. At this point, even the elevators looked good. For the first time came the realization that perhaps taking polluck wasn ' t such a great idea. But if the big- gest differences could not be worked out, there was always friendly moving day and another chance to curse the elevators. With the prospect of having to go through the entire process of moving again, it ' s. been no wonder dormitory residents seriously ponder all options before making the traumatic decision that there is just no way to get along with the stranger lying on the bed across the room. Boxes and crates filled with all the conveniences of home - what a mess.

Costing S55-65 a year to rent, the refrigerator offers welcome relief from cafeteria food. Getting the refrigerator into the dorm room involves many more obsta- cles than getting something out of the fridge. However, even 15th floor Towers ' residents find it worthwhile to tote the refrigerator up to the room. Female dormitory residents usually trap some strong male into carrying their refrigerators. The innocent phrase, Hey. could you give us a hand at least to the eleva- tor? always finds a sympathetic gen- tleman who, wishing to exhibit his chauvinism (welcome at this point by exhausted females with aching backs), carries the refrigerator singlehandedly to the dorm room. Transportation to and from the rent- al agency is another hassle for residents not fortunate enough to have easy ac- cess to a car. But a lesson can be learned from a freshman who conquered two problems of refrigerator rental. She took a taxi to and from the rental agency and then encouraged the cab driver to carry the refrigerator from Fifth Avenue to her room. Clutching her new stereo, a West Hall resident walks carefully to her room. What a load. A TTW resident brings back quite a haul after Christmas vacation. 16 Moving In Unloading the last of Cheryl Brookover ' s belong- ings from his car is Rick Parks.

Although with- out the comforts of Towers - air con- ditioning and carpet - Buskirk ' s acco- modations include larger rooms and kitchen appliances on each floor. Involved in a game of cards are Buskirk residents (from left) Diana Baker, Ellyn Maier, Tina Que- senburj ' . Vicky Kopsolias, and Chris Booth. Residence life in Buskirk took the spotlight in the spring, however, when the women residents waged war against little, furry creatures cohabiting the halls. After making several complaints to housing officials, residents took matters into their own hands and set mouse traps in the dorm. Their efforts paid off at least once, although residents said the mice were smart enough to take the baited cheese without paying the price. Halloween in Buskirk ' also took an unexpected turn when residents discov- ered a smoking mattress on third floor. The dormitory was evacuated, and the damage did not extend beyond Room 303. No one was injured by the smoke and fire. An e ening snack is prepared by Dianne Pri- chard. Every floor in Buskirk Hall has kitchen appliances- Just for a piece of cheese.

Two South Hall residents study in the lounge. Getting some sun, a South Hall resident reclines on the main floor balcony on the Fifth Avenue side of the dorm. South Hall ' Chastity belt ' opens as part of new image The world ' s largest chastity belt was no more, as South Hall ' s welded- shut fire doors were opened on all floors of the dorm. This was one of South ' s attempts to change its image. Fifth floor went coed, and eighth floor be- came a language house. Residents of the coed fioor were up- perclassmen and had single rooms. Most residents on the floor reported that they approved of the more adult atmosphere and that better security was created by the new situation. msi {JiLS STAT ' ; V 5 T0KS -LLL hOE-D T The purpose of the language house was to promote understanding of the languages and cultures of foreign coun- tries. Housing officials have expressed plans for other special interest floors in South Hall, including a photogrpahy fioor and an academic fioor. Despite the renovations. South Hall was still plagued with the dilemmas of dormitory living, particularly residents ' complaints about cafeteria food. In South Hall cafeteria on April 6, six students participated in a protest, shouting, throwing food and utensils. One student was arrested for public in- toxication. Complaints were hair in the food, stale meat, roaches and other insects in the eating area and in the food, and management ' s attitude toward the com- plaints. Cafeteria officials and the stu- dents discussed the matter, but few visi- ble improvements were seen. 21 South Hall Laidley Hall ' Bench seizing ' part of dorm activities Most of the (residence) halls are rel- atively new and modern, according to Marshall ' s catalog - most except Laid- ley and Hodges halls. However, both dormitories report more than a 90 per- cent occupancy rate, which is equal to or above other dorms. Laidley residents had to cope with the presence of an intruder lurking in the showers on second floor. Questions were raised about the security systems, particularly in the women ' s dormi- tories. A new policy in the beginning of the year brought security officers in Towers and South halls. In the revival of the panty raids, it was reportedly Laidley residents who began the escapades by confiscating the bench belonging to the men of Hodges and managing to place it among the treetops. 22 Laidley Hall Life in Hodges.

Hodges Hall ' Unknown kisser ' entices MU women The men of Hodges kept their reputation alive as they took the re- sponsibility of reviving panty raids. Head football coach Frank Ellwood warned football players to keep clear of mob situations, referring to the panty raids. Ellwood walked the floors in an effort to keep the players inside. Male athletes, comprising one of the more prestigious echelons of the Mar- shall community, reside in Hodges Hall. Shaving cream covers Dave McCuskey and an- other Hodges resident after an evening battle. In an effort to raise money for under- privileged children, residents sponsored a Kiss your favorite jock activity. Fe- males, particularly those who walked to and from their rooms in Towers West, were enticed to try their luck with the unknown kisser. Vandalism occurred in Hodges when the cross country team ' s victory bulle- tin board was set on fire. The harriers were the first to win a Southern Confer- ence title, and team members speculat- ed the event was a result of intra-dorm jealousy. 23 Hodges Hall Twin Towers Food, false alarms, vandalism main gripes Twin Towers remained the center of dormitory controversy throughout most of the year. Second floor residents of Towers and South Hall complained about the garbage on the roofs, consist- ing of trash, beer and wine bottles, urine and vomit. The roofs were cleaned during the Thanksgiving break, and even the afflicted residents could not blame maintenance crews for refus- ing to clear the roofs while students remained in the dormitories. With $6,840.17 spent on vandalism repairs for all dormitories, $3,057.32 was spent in Towers East. A breakdown on the money includes $964.91 for Hodges; $18.29 for Laidley; $2,713.74 for South; $12.97 for Buskirk; and $73.48 for Towers West. Housing officials reported that half of the money was spent on elevators. Other major expenses were fire alarm systems, carpets, and broken furniture. Seventh floor East and sixth fioor West residents suffered through several weeks of the coldest winter in West Vir- ginia ' s recorded history with no hot wa- ter. Ann Zanzig, director of residence life, warned TTE sixth floor residents that irresponsible behavior would re- sult in disciplinary action, including possible expulsion. Alleged behavior problems on the floor were smoking dope, harassing university personnel, painting signs on the walls, and pulling false fire alarms. But such behavior problems were not confined to the sixth floor of Towers East. Water fountains on the sixth and 10th floors of Towers West were van- dalized, causing flooding on the fifth and sixth floors. In just one three-week period, 1 1 false fire alarms occurred in East. Towers West residents were also forced out into the bitter cold on several occa- sions. The dishwasher in Towers cafeteria failed inspection by health officials twice because the water was not the required 170 degrees for sanitary dish- washing purposes. A water line busted in April, flooding the cafeteria. Year-long complaints were raised about not only the quality of food but also the overabundance of roaches. An increase of $29.13 per semester was approved for each of the dormi- tories. Room and board in Towers had been $837.50 a semester; the increase took the total to $866.63. Another primary complaint of Towers residents was the need for re- pairs. Although vandalism was a main source of required repairs, it appeared unfair that only 3 percent of the pro- jected housing budget for the fiscal year was allotted for repairs and equipment. ' Hot potato ' Students often complain about the starchy nneals served by cafeteria personnel. But after an evening meal in Towers ' cafete- ria, it was a good thing there was a potato left. A cafeteria worker used a potato to plug up the hole in the busted water pipe (. ' ight). Maintenance crews vacuum up the water. A breakdown of the housing budget includes 31 percent for debt services; 29 percent for the food services contract; 20 percent for personal services; and 17 percent for current expenses and utili- ties. The housing policy stipulates that full-time freshmen and sophomores are required to live in the dormitories. President Hayes has said the policy may be reviewed, but not until the con- struction debts for Towers are paid off. Dorm residents appear to be learning a very painful lesson about the econom- ic system in the United States, as 31 percent of their money goes toward paying off bonds. And the atmosphere of Towers continues to sink all the more. 24 Twin Towers Connscaled signs from the cafeteria and library adorn a dorm room refrigerator in Towers East. Lining up.

Hopeful, determined guys. A return of the cele- brated panty raids. Only this time the raids took an about-face. The girls didn ' t scream and run, and the under- wear was not all lace and frills. Late-night fire drills made it inevita- ble. A group of guys forced out late at night could not be expected to return to bed quietly. To release energy, Hodges Hall residents decided to revive the 1950s ' tradition of raiding girls ' dorms for panties. Tradition stipulates the girls scream, giggle and remain uncooperative. But tradition did not count on equal rights. Girls not only relinquished panties and bras but also requested guys to turn over their underwear. Panty raids became an every-night thing for about a week. The battle raged as the girls instigated a jockey raid. Cars stopped on Fifth Avenue as people viewed the latest escapades of college students. Maybe it was a diversion from classes, maybe it was never meant to be anything but fun. Nevertheless, securi- ty didn ' t see it that way, and the fun and games became serious business. Before it was over, one student was arrested, and the raiders dumped wa- ter on security officers. Physical and verbal abuse occurred on all sides. But the raids were stopped, and dorm life continued at a slower pace. Frilly tro- phies remained as a memory. Anticipation runs high as guys and gals alike vie for ' undies from the opposite sex. 28 Panty Raid Panty Raid satisfying an itch Independence the goal in off-campus living An itch begins, usually during the sophomore year, and it won ' t quit until it has tasted satisfaction - or the nearest thing to it. The itch is the desire to break away from the rules and regulations, noise, intolerable eating conditions, and com- munity bathrooms of dormitory living - to live off campus. The satisfaction comes from finding a house or an apartment suitable for human habitation. Apartment hunting is an endeavor that often reaps nothing but frustration and disillusion. But for those who per- servere, efforts are usually rewarded. Students lacking use of a car are limited to choices close to campus. Oth- er decisions include whether an apart- ment will be a group investment or an individual project, whether a house or an apartment building should be sought. Eventually, however, the diligent searcher finds the perfect place, and things begin to look up. No longer does the student have to share a community bathroom - the in- considerate dorm residents are gone. The selection of meals is left to the discretion of the student and whatever may be in the cabinet. But it doesn ' t take long for reality to make its presence known. The cinderb- lock walls of an apartment building are no more noise proof than the walls of the dorm - and the guy ' s stereo next door or upstairs drones out conversa- tion and profanity. Everyone else in the building finds the concept of parties synonymous with finals week - and there ' s no grouchy resident adviser around to enforce qui- et hours. Internal conflicts also arise. Whose turn is it to take out the garbage? Who ' s going to cook dinner? When are those dishes going to be washed? Some- times the tension of incompatibility re- sults in a fight that splits the tenant in different directions. And there may be no solution but to endure the rest of the semester. The seasons take their toll. In the winter pipes freeze, sidewalks and stairs become treacherously icy pathways, and the heater won ' t work. When the weather gets warm, the air conditioner breaks. For some students the hassles of apartment life get to be too much. They return to the dorms, where someone else does the cooking and money for skyrocketing utility bills doesn ' t have to be scraped up every month. But for most students the freedom and independence outweigh the disad- vantages, and they remain a part of the off-campus community for the remain- der of their years at Marshall. 30 Off Campus Rush hour. The bathroom in a Marshall Plaza apartment is left in disarray after its occupants get ready for class. The apartment is shared by Rob Jchnson, David Kee, Jerry Smith, and Greg Morris. 31 Off Campus happy hunting Into the lives of many college students there comes the day when it is necessary or desirable to leave the comfort and security of dormitory living and plunge into a new environment - off-campus housing. And the unassuming student may en- counter various and sundry problems when renting. There are standard warnings to heed, such as reading the lease carefully, check- ing out the landlord, and of course, every mother ' s favorite: make sure it ' s in a nice neighborhood. You can check for an extra flight of stairs or an escape in case of fire; you can check for proper ventilation for the gas heater; you can check all the wiring and make sure that nothing is exposed. You can turn over every rock anyone ever told you to and still be red-faced when you finally move in. Remember moving day, when to your amazement, you found there was not enough space in the three-room apartment to accommodate everything that fit into one half of a dormitory room? And suddenly those 12-foot-high ceil- ings that looked so regal became a real problem when the overhead light burns out. It ' s test time for Brcnda Spinks. a she siudies in her apartment. Her boNlriend, Bruce Hensley. catches up on the latest news. 32 Off Campus Various and sundry problems await renter, but apartment eventuaiiy becomes functional And all those windows that looked tai- lor-made for your plants become their own type of solar heating when the tempera- ture rises. It would appear that this would be a lovely phenomenon in the winter, but when the wind begins to blow, your solar heat is transformed into air conditioning. Winter carries with it its own problems. Pipes freeze, causing you to be without water for what the landlord said would be just a few days. The city sends snow plows down the street in front of your apartment, leaving mounds of snow where you used to park your car - that is, if you were lucky enough to be gone when the plows came. Some cars were buried under snow and ice for two months. Remember those brave souls who shov- eled their parking places clear - and were never able to use them because someone else needed a place to park? Alas, it was a survival game during the bitter winter of 1977-78. But spring did come. It was heralded by the pitter patter of melting snow leaking through the windows. Kitchens, another apartment conve- nience, have their own surprises. Did you happen to notice when you were seeing the apartment for the first time that the refrig- erator was gas powered? Gas refrigerators have not been manufactured for 30 years, but landlords know how to find them. Landlords have ways of finding all kinds of near-functional equipment. It doesn ' t take the renter long to discov- er why these denizens of the past aren ' t manufactured any longer. Remember the first time you used the gas oven? The older ones require that you insert half of your body into them to get them lit. How long did it take you to figure out you needed the longer kitchen matches to avoid losing all the hair on your knuck- les? And the first time you lit it, did you discover you had 40 little brown room- mates? But, after awhile, maybe a long while, an apartment has a way of becoming func- tional. The little problems are overcome. Then the next group of students begins to embark on the voyage into off-campus housing. Do you recall the day the guy who played the kettledrum for the symphonic band moved in upstairs? It ' s been a rough day for Mike Kcnncdv. but he ' s .ible to relax  ilh a few beers in a friend ' s aparl- inent. 33 Off Campus Housing offices give little aid to off- campus students Students have been forced to often settle for what- ever they can get, in regard to off-campus housing. The issue was brought out into the open, an off- campus housing office was established. And yet stu- dents failed to actively cooperate with Dee Ascoli, the director of the office. Marshall ' s Department of Housing offers no special assistance to students wanting to live off campus. The reasons, cited by Ed Yeager, coordinator of housing, are that Marshall ' s housing office would be competing against itself, that the office wouldn ' t get cooperation from landlords, and that Marshall does not have the staff to run such a service. Students with complaints may find help through the Huntington Housing Inspection Agency and its chief housing inspector, Billy Carter. When the housing agency receives a complaint, it tries to begin work on the problem within two or three days, Carter said. Complaints are kept anonymous, and landlords are not told of the complaint. According to Carter, about 30 percent of Marshall students live in substandard housing; substandard housing includes anything that is in violation, broken windows, no hot water, etc. There has been little, if any, legal remedy for a tenant who believes his landlord is negligent. A bill introduced in the sta te Legislature by Sen. Robert Nelson, D-Cabell, would have revamped ten- ant landlord laws; the bill failed to pass. The Nelson bill had the following provisions: (1) guarantee of habitability - landlords would be called to do whatever necessary to protect tenant ' s health, safe- ty, and reasonable comfort; (2) giving tenants more legal remedies for repair problems - tenants would be allowed to call a repairman if landlord did not act within 2 weeks, and the fee would be deducted from the rent bill; (3) security deposits could be no more than 1 months rent; (4) protection of tenant from retalitory eviction by landlord. But the tenant landlord bill, proposed by Nelson for the second consecutive legislative session, never made it it would have been a progressive step. The off-campus controversy arose to a prominent position in campus news with the condemnation of a Third Avenue apartment building. Marshall student Bob Lesh was one of the tenants in the condemned building. Lesh filed suit in Cabell County Magistrate ' s Court in connection with the condemnation of his apartment building, 2209 Third Ave. The suit asked for $1,500 from David Bunch and Carroll Justice, owners of the building, for all rent Lesh had paid since September 1977 and compensa- tory damages caused by the inconveniences Lesh al- legedly suffered. Huntington ' s housing inspection agency reported that the building had been condemned in January 1973. Lesh said he did not know the building had been condemned at the time he rented it. D. B. Daugherty, lawyer for the apartment owners, said all tenants had been informed that the building was condemned. The issue eventually appeared to have disappeared from the limelight. Bob Lesh is only one, of the many Marshall students who face similar housing problems, that tried to come to grips with a seemingly hopeless situation. 34 Off Campus However landlords are not always the culprit in poor landlord tenant relations. In an interview with a Parthenon staff member, seven area landlords report- ed on problems caused by tenants. Late paid rent, tenants ' moving out early, expenses involved in the upkeep of an apartment building, and the negative connotation of landlords were among the most fre- quent problems landlords reported they face. More consideration and respect, on the part of the tenants, could help ease the tension in the situation, several of the lanlords said. As an attempt to offer advice for and help to off- campus students, the Off-Campus Housing Office was formed, and the director was Dee Ascoli. Funds to operate the off-campus housing office were provided by the office being incorporated into the student government budget. The intent of the office, according to Rick Ramell, student body president, is to provide a central location where students can go to find a current listing of houses, apartments, and rooms for rent. One of the first efforts of the office was to survey off-campus housing to determine the situation of stu- dents who rent apartments. The survey, paid for by student government, appared in the Parthenon for two days. The survey demanded little from off-campus stu- dents ■ just a minute or two to fill in the blanks. Sixty responses were received. The question remains - why such an apparent lack of interest in an issue that involves so many of Mar- shall ' s students?

However, residents complained of in- creasing occurrences of vandalism, par- ticularly vandalism to residents ' cars. A lack of adequate lighting was cited as a primary cause for the destruction. An- other complaint was that the area was not adequately patrolled. Jim and Diane Horn are a married couple living in University Heights. They have been married for almost two years.

The theme of Thundering Progress was selected in the summer to replace the original, Southern Comfort, chosen in the fall of 1976 to honor Marshall ' s entrance into the Southern Conference. Sponsors of the floats were not to be undaunted, however. Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity produced the winning float, displaying the theme, Marshall goes Southern. Southern Comfort was the theme of the second-place float, entered by Phi Mu sorority and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Questions were raised because MU ' s Homecoming parade was combined with the city of Huntington ' s parade. Greek organisations, who had sponsored floats in the past, claimed that holding the parade a week earlier than scheduled prevented them from entering floats. Only two floats partici- pated in the parade. MU ' s marching band pleased WOWK-TV station man- ager Leo M. MacCourtney by playing We ' re Still the one, ABC network ' s fall theme song. WOWK is an ABC affiliate. Other MU participants in the parade were the Homecoming queen candidates, the student body president and vice presi- dent. The week ' s activities began Mondy afternoon, Sept. 19, with the Strohs ' Superstar Competition. Freshman David Philips, the overall winner of 36 contestants, won a 10-speed bicycle. Strohs ' beer was 10 cents a glass in the Coffee House while the Bing Brothers performed country music. Impersonator and comedian David Frye received a standing ovation for his performance Sept. 20. Mimicking Richard Nixon ' s voice, Frye sang I Did It My Way. He ended his performance with a tribute to Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy. An arts and crafts fair and a miniconcert by Joi and Happy the Man rounded out the week ' s activities. The marching band participated in the Home- coming parade. Tim Cook plays trumpet as the parade advances down Fourth Avenue. A mild protest is offered by the second-place float using the original theme, Southern Comfort. Float sponsors were Phi Mu sorority and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. (Opposite page.) 50 Homecoming Strohs ' Superstar Competition has a student caught up in the hula hoop contest.

Homecom- ing 1977 was an unqualified success. Despite overcast skies and an omi- nous threat of rain, a crowd of 16,724, the largest in Fairfield ' s history, watched the Thundering Herd shut out the Toledo Rockets. The highpoint of the football season, the game marked the third consecutive Homecoming victory and the Herd ' s third shutout in 12 years. Claude Geiger and Mike Bailey rushed for more than 100 yards apiece for the second straight week. Bud Nelson, exhibiting a sub-par passing performance, connected only one of six attempts. But the Herd ' s defense performed impressively, bottling up a Toledo run- ning attack that never penetrated be- yond Marshall ' s 32-yard line. Ed Hamrick broke a school record by hitting a 48-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter. The band ' s halftime performance sa- luted Marshall ' s entrance into the Southern Conference. Defensive dynamics led by Ed McTaggart (52) and Brian Hite (77) surge head on into the Toledo , line. Students ' spirits may have been dam- pened by Security ' s over-zealous en- forcement of the no alcohol consump- tion policy at Fairfield Stadium. But where there ' s a will, there ' s a way - despite the increased number of men in green suits stationed throughout the student section. The parade a week before Home- coming activities and the change in the theme prompted preliminary fears that Homecoming might not be a success. However, the revival of a concert and a football victory contributed to a more positive outlook toward the week ' s ac- tivities. Perhaps there is something to Home- coming after all.

The Sanford Townsend Band took the stage first, and the crowd voiced its approval as the band performed the hit single Smoke from a Distant Fire. At the end of the performance, the crowd called for and received an encore. Then Nancy and Ann took the stage and the crowd became ecstatic. Heart played most of its released singles such as Crazy on You, Dreamboat Annie, Barracuda, and Little Queen. At no time during the concert did the crowd ' s enthusiasm die down. Heart delivered, to Marshall students, what they wanted in a Homecoming. Opinions on the concert varied, but most were just glad there was a concert 56 Homecoming Concert season opens new civic cenie After a long dry spell, the opening of the Huntington Civic Center heralded the return of concerts to the area. And, with concerts available a half- dozen blocks from campus, trips to Charleston were no longer the fan ' s only resort. Attempting to avoid the incidents that caused the banishment of con- certs from the field house, the Civic Center Board established a No Smoking in the Great Hall sign, forc- ing pot and cigarette smokers alike to inhale in secrecy. The first concert featured Heart in a sell-out performance for Marshall ' s Homecoming crowd. The Doobie Brothers and Kiss con- certs also played to full houses, but the future of concerts in Huntington seemed endangered again when a dressing room was damaged by Kiss road crew. As a preventive measure, groups were asked to sign contracts guaran- teeing payment for any damages. Fears were allayed when hard rocker Ted Nugent came and went without incident, and concert fans were able to enjoy such groups as Rush. Blue Oys- ter Cult, and Eric Clapton and Styx.

N. Bennett East, assistant professor of speech and director of the play, de- scribed the play as a comedy about black and white relationships and their roles in the emerging South. If Purlie Victorious had been .se- lected as a regional winner, it would have been performed in April at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Per- forming Arts in Washington, D.C. East said Purlie Victorious is a play he has wanted to put on for a long time. We have had black students for years with a great deal of talent, and I thought it was time we did a play deal- ing with black subject matter. I also knew we were going to be entering this competition, and I thought this play would be a good entry, with a cast that was not too large to travel with, he said. Lead cast member Joe Johns, Co- lumbus, Ohio, junior, was one of the top three finalists out of 13 students in re- gional competition for the Irene Ryan Scholarship. Purlie Victorious was presented at Marshall Oct. 5-8. We only rehearsed for 18 days, but it was one of the smoothest-running plays I ' ve directed, East said. For any of the students in the play, it was their first time on stage. This shows the mark of their talent, East said. Funding for the play to go to the Region X competition had to come out of Marshall University Theater funds, much to the dismay of East. It is very ridiculous that a university the size of Marshall doesn ' t have some type of funds to cover this type of expense, East said. Outlining his plan to swindle Ol Cap ' n Colchi- pee out of the S500 needed (o build his church, Purlie receives doubtful looks from Missy Judson (Carolyn Thomas) and I,uticbellc. Sharing a moment of elation, Purlie and Lutie- belle celebrate her decision to become a disciple in his church. 61 Purlie Victorious Life of Mary, Queen of Scots, explored The Life of Mary, Queen of Scots, and how it was affected by Queen Eliz- abeth I was explored in Vivat!Vivat! Regina! directed by Dr. Elaine Novak, professor of speech. Novak said, I selected this play to present because I have always been fas- cinated with Mary, Queen of Scots, and her struggle with Queen Elizabeth I. Novak said she enjoyed reading British history and doing the research neces- sary to put on the play. The cast of Vivat! Vivat! Regina! was large, with 25 men and four wom- en. The play ' s action takes place in France, England, and Scotland, and the play covers the time period from 1559 to 1587. A wise and strong ruler. Queen Elizabeth I (Betty Ann Miller) rules England.

' Hostage ' describes British-Irish conflict The Hostage, a title which director William G. Kearns said is relevant to- day, involves a young British soldier be- ing held hostage in exchange for an Irish Revolutionary officer who is to be hanged. The play describes the original trou- bles that date back from the 1920s when Britain separated six counties from Ireland, which today is Northern Ireland, Kearns said, The IRA want all of Ireland to be united. The Sunday before the play opened at Marshall, the IRA was having a big disturbance in Ireland, he said. Kearns said the subject and the au- thor motivated him to put on The Hostage. I had seen a five-minute excerpt of this play done on a Public Broadcasting System special on acting and it looked interesting. The author of the play, Brendan Behan, speaks through the manager of the lodging house. Behan spent a long time in pris- on himself and writes mainly about the troubles in his native Ireland. The cast used some dialect text and records to help authenticate the play, Kearns said. Dr. Robert S. Gerke, pro- fessor of English, and Dr. Maurice Hussey, exchange professor of English, helped with the dialect. Dr. Michael E. Cerveris, professor of music, directed the music. The music and dancing were differ- ent from any other play Kearns has di- rected. The songs were barroom ballads intended for anyone to sing, Kearns said. 63 The Hostage pally Student activism returned to campus temporarily, and the student news me- dia had a field day. Formed in September, the Save Mar- shall Coalition sought the resignation of President Robert B. Hayes. Formation of the group was precipitated by the resignation of James A. Martin, Artists Series coordinator, according to Tom Searls, Marmet senior and a leader of the coalition. Members of the group circulated pe- titions calling for the re-instatement of Martin as the Artists Series adviser and or the resignation of Hayes. The group ' s activities dominated news and editorial coverage of The Par- thenon, Marshall ' s student newspaper, culminating in entire front-page con- tent for the coalition rally and student senate meeting with Hayes. Searls and Don Wilson, Parkersburg senior and student senator, spoke Nov. 3 to about 200 at the rally on Memorial Student Center plaza. Security officers, Huntington police- I TO CLEAR THE HWES Abrupt activism results in field day for media men, and members of Marshall ' s ad- ministration watched the activity from the balcony. Photographers, reporters, and cam- era-toting broadcasters swarmed over the plaza as coalition members spoke, carried signs, circulated literature and petitions, and chanted, Let ' s help Bob find a new job. Participants and spectators paraded across campus to Old Main, the seat of Marshall ' s administration. A security guard, whose stance somewhat resem- bled a royal guard at Buckingham Pal- ace, was posted outside of Hayes ' door. Dr. Olen E. Jones Jr., executive vice president, met briefly with the group. Jones said he would present the griev- ances to Hayes. The center of attention then focused on a lone figure on top of the bust of John Marshall in front of Old Main. Steven Igo, managing editor of The Parthenon until Nov. 3, proclaimed he would sit on John Marshall until Hayes resigned. But after two hours, several beers, and a tuna fish sandwich, Igo resigned his mission. Student senate had scheduled a closed meeting with Hayes, but the sen- ators opened the meeting with the stip- ulation that no questions could be asked from the fioor. Hayes was questioned about the grievances stated in the petition. Issues raised ranged from the firing of Charles Dickerson, associate dean, to the qual- ity of food served in the dormitory cafe- terias. The meeting ended with no apparent results. A few more petitions were circulated, which never reached the Board of Re- gents as the coalition had promised. The revived radical activism of the sixties appeared to end as abruptly as it had begun. 64 Save Marshall Coalition Sit on il.

Hooks, executive director of the Na- tional Association for the Advancement of Colored People, received a standing ovation from the crowd when he was introduced April 24. Appearing before 350 people, Hooks called for an MU chapter of the NAACP. Hooks was the first black sworn in as a member of the Federal Communica- tion Commission in 1972. The goal of Black Awareness Week is to expose the university and the Hun- tington community to the social and cultural aspects of Afro-American life- styles and identities, according to De Wayne Lyles, director of the Human Relations Center. The frenzied pace of drums an- nounced the entrance of Babatunde Olatunji, guest artist in residence. Babatunde Olatunji. an African folk- lorist, taught audience volunteers how to play native instruments. Olantunji, a composer, author, and founder of the Center of African Cul- ture in Harlem, brought with him a company of dancers, musicians, and smgers. Black Awareness Week opened with Worship in the Black Idium in the Campus Christian Center. Marshall ' s Black Ensemble Choir, Cavalry Baptist Youth choir, and the First Baptist Youth Ensemble Choir provided music. Dr. Na ' im Akbar, professor of psy- chology at Norfolk State College, spoke about Afro-American exper- iences in the United States and the ex- periences of all Americans in current society.

Artists Series Coordinator James A. Martin resigned effective Dec. 1 . Mar- tin cited President Robert B. Hayes requirement of 1.000 season members for the Baxter series. Hayes concern about an unbalanced budget, and his appraisal of Martin ' s leadership abili- ties through troubled times as rea- sons for the resignation. Martin ' s resignation sparked the for- mation of the Save Marshall Coalition, which attributed Martin ' s resignation to presidential pressure. Hayes denied that Martin had been forced to resign.

Coachers were members of Lambda Chi and referees were MU basketball players, according to Craig Spencer, Lambda Chi vice president. 76 Greek Activities Tri Sigma, Lambda Chi winners overall in Greek Week competition Brains and brawn arc not mulually ex- clusive, at least not as ingredients of Greek Week activities. Fraternity and sorority teams battled their brains in college bowl competition, and fraternity members gave their muscles an agonizing workout in the chariot races on Fourth Avenue. In college bowl competition. Sigma Kappa won the sorority division, followed by Sigma Sigma Sigma. In the fraternity division. Alpha Tau Omega was first, followed by Lambda Chi Alpha and Tau Kappa Epsilon. Pi Kappa Alpha and Lambda Chi Al- pha tied for first place in the chariot races. The Pikes won the Greek games, for the 12th consecutive year, but Lambda Chi Alpha was the fraternity that won the overall competition for Greek Week ac- tivities. In the sorority division, Sigma Sigma Sigma was the overall winner, followed by Sigma Kappa. This was the first year for overall com- petition, according to Carrie McCune, coordinator of Greek Week Activities. 77 Greek Actlvjtic ' Jumpin ' Jollies Taking the plunge is pari of Greek Week festivities for this sorority mem- ber. The dunking activity was in con- junction with a keg party sponsored by Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. It ' s a case of dry anxiety before her initiation as a dunkee, but it must be easier the second time around. 79 Greek Acliviiles ' Overcrowded bus terminar depicts MSC Memorial Center often assumes the appearance of an overcrowded bus ter- minal. It is used as meeting place for com- muters, a study facility that lacks the coldness of the library, a basic core of the campus. Recreational facilities and eating fa- cilities serve the needs of students and faculty seeking an escape from the drudgery of classes and work. A new facility in the student center was the listening library. Students had the opportunity to listen to music with headphones in a room next to Opus One, the record shop in the center. However, the library was not used as much as expected. Student center manager retires after 33 years The multi-purpose room in Memorial Student Center may get a new name in honor of the man who retired this year after 33 years as the manager of Mar- shall ' s student center. W. Don Morris retired July 1 after becoming manager of Memorial Stu- dent Center and Shawkey Student Union for 33 years. At a reception in his honor, Morris was presented the Alumni Distinguished Service Award. A proposal to rename the multi- purpose room in honor of Morris was made to the Physical Facilities and Planning Commission. 81 Student Center Beer No. 1 seller in Coffee House The Coffee House is the only place on campus to legally get a few beers, whether it ' s after a class or before a night class. Beer is the No. 1 seller for the Coffee House, according to John H. Spotts, director. Spotts said the steak dinner is the second best seller and bagels are another popular item, especially since the Coffee House is the only place in Huntington that sells the doughnut- shaped roll. The atmosphere depends upon the number of students present as well as the day of the week. On weekdays it ' s a quiet place to go to talk, drink a few beers, and maybe listen to any would-be performer that happens to wander in near the piano. But the setting is different on week- ends, when the clamor of the audience often drowns out the music of the per- formers. Despite student interest and turnout, the Coffee House is not a profit maker for Marshall, Spotts said. He said the caterer that services the Coffee House pays Marshall a percentage of money made. 82 Coffee House 83 Coffee House Heavy snowfall adds to work and play A white, cold and wet blanket smoth- ered Huntington for what seemed an eternity this winter. Whenever it seemed the snow was going to stop, a new downfall would add another couple of inches. Broken and frozen pipes forced many off-campus students to shower at a friend ' s and carry water home. Some students used the dorms or Gullickson Hall for showers. But some dorm stu- dents often had the rude awakening of a cold shower as hot water shortages be- came common on some floors. Icy sidewalks and stairs made walk- ing dangerous, while pushing cars be- came a new form of exercise for car owners. Despite the cold weather, students venture out- side for battles in the snow. 84 Winter Weather Enjoying the lighter side of winter, Rob Johnson and Debbie Nichols wage a slushy battle on the intramural field. 85 Winter Weather Studying forfeits to old man winter A sluggish, apathetic feeling infested students as the cold and snow lingered on. Most people didn ' t feel like study- ing, so they partied, watched TV, played games, or kept warm with an- other body. Skiers and other winter sports enthu- siasts were in paradise. Canaan Valley and Snowshoe became weekend re- treats for some students, while others stayed in Huntington and went sledding or ice skating in places such as Ritter Park and Spring Valley. Snowballs flew through the chilly air that engulfed the students around cam- pus. Artists created snow sculptures on and off campus. One creation was a food colored snow fort, complete with alligators. Another was a snow woman in the intramural field behind Twin Towers. Long underwear became a necessary part of many students ' wardrobes. The With snow continuing to fail, students run to classes. cold weather spread flu and colds. Classrooms were either so hot students and faculty perspired or so cold they had to wear coats to keep warm. On Friday, Jan. 20, the snow closed Marshall ' s classes and brought life to a snail ' s pace in the state. A record 21 inches of snow fell on Huntington. Bus- es and taxis did not run. Parties were abundant as students celebrated a day of freedom from school. The cold weather helped put students in a grumpy mood but brought them together to shovel off sidewalks, stairs and driveways. At last the giant icicles melted from the eaves of the roof on Old Main. The bars were packed again. Sidewalks were like lakes and midterms were taking their toll. The sun was out and spring had nearly arrived. Another winter had come and gone.

Another person gets on the phone to order a keg - it ' s as easy as ordering a pizza. Students can go to distributors in Ohio to pick up a keg of six-point beer. And one Huntington distributor makes it even easier by delivering the keg right to the doorstep. The keg comes packed in a barrel filled with ice, with at least 50 plastic cups. The cost is $25 for the damage deposit (returned when the distributor picks up the keg and tap) and $28 for the beer, ice, and cups. The keg is ordered, on its way. All that is left to do Is make room for the beer and the guests. Another keg party has evolved. walchcs. two people sitting across from each other, with their Tcet touching. 89 Parties aftermath Guests stagger out door or sleep on floor — How could a party giver ask for much more? There are parties and there are par- ties, all bringing a spark of life to even the dreariest crowd. And parties bring crowds, sometimes invited; but more often than not, people just wander in. Word of a party spreads faster than does news about whose pot may be contaminated with paraquat. Dan Ayres, Weirton junior, proudly proclaims he has a nose for detecting a party anywhere in the vicinity of Mar- shall ' s campus. And Ayres does not stand alone in having built a reputation as a party goer. Blaring stereos . . . bathtubs filled with cans of Ohio beer . . . kitchen counters adorned with liquor bottles boasting of varying degrees of empti- ness . . . people-filled rooms permeated with the aroma of pot. Grain parties, keg parties, B.Y.O.B. parties - they all continue until the early morning hours. Finally the last guest staggers out the door or falls asleep on the floor. For the host, who can ' t take a shower because the bathtub still con- tains beer, those only half-empty liquor bottles no longer possess that previously enticing nature. Heaven help those poor souls left to clean up the mess the morn- ing after. 90 Parties Saving footsteps.

Parties disco mania Today ' s sound ' ' invades area night spots Disco has supplanted hard and soft rock as the leading sound today, invad- ing area bars and night spots. The instinctual beat blared from jukeboxes, whether the scene was the Coffee House or the Mad Hatter. The Mad Hatter, one of the newest clubs to open in the campus area, be- came a popular place, particularly on Thursday nights, designated as ladies ' night, with drinks half price for mem- bers of the female crowd. Plagued with hassles from the Hun- tington community, the Glass Onion closed its doors at the end of the first semester. The Onion had been popu- lar because of its li ve entertainment. Verb ' s 10th Inning, despite its dis- tance from campus, managed to draw mobs of students, particularly during basketball season and especially on Tuesday nights, Quarter a beer night. The baseball decor added to the hub- bub atmosphere, as lines at the bar struggling for a last 25-cent beer resem- bled lines of bodies attending beer night at baseball stadiums (whether for the Charlies or the Reds.) Traditional spots remained - the Hole, the Varsity, the U.L. (which ac- quired its liquor license this year). The Monarch and the Canteen were two other new clubs that opened on Third Avenue. The Bait, with its Wednesday night beer blasts, seemed to lose some of its appeal the second semester, perhaps due to the popularity of newer clubs. 92 Night Life Chug-a-lug.

Physical education and special edu- cation majors, attired in t-shirts pro- claiming, I ' m an S.O.B. ( Special Olympics Booster ), took responsibility for children throughout the day. Competition events included football kicking and wheelchair races. Marshall students, as well as mem- bers of the Huntington community, were able to share the feelings of ac- complishment the children experienced as they finished their events or crossed the finish line. But for the handicapped children who participated, it was their day. 94 Special Olympics 95 Special Olympics Ritter retreat City imposes beer ban in park, but Ritter remains popular place The haven for Marshall students and Huntington residents became less heavenly, at least from the perspective of beer drinkers. A city ordinance prohibiting beer in Huntington ' s parks was passed in April. Empty beer cans and other party trash were given as a primary motivation for passage of the ordinance. But students continued to flock to Ritter Park, particularly on sunny Sundays. Tennis courts may be the only primary recreational facility at Ritter, but the acres of grass and shade trees continued to entice dorm residents and apartment dwell- ers alike. Bike routes through the park also offer another pasttime for class-weary students, as do the various secluded spots sought by couples. Ritter Park does offer more than just a place to drink beer.

Income tax refund checks provided the financial resources to support a keg party - the only decision was where to tap the kegs. Beer had been banned in Ritter Park because of a city ordinance. Two kegs and a crowd of students could hardly be classified as inconspicuous. The group moved to Rotary Park, located off Route 60. And there the 1 5th floor resi- dents and friends conducted their first annual GDI ' s spring party. Toward the end of the afternoon, park police paid the party a visit. The park policeman ' s main concern was whether the group would clean up the mess when ready to leave. The students agreed and then continued tapping the kegs. i r- -t 99 Rotary Park City lifts beer ban for spring concert Students were able to sip their suds without fear of arrest at the outdoor spring concert in Ritter Park. The concert, sponsored by student government had been shrouded in con- fusion because of a city ordinance en- acted to prohibit beer in Huntington ' s parks. The beer ban was postponed because signs had not been posted in the park. Three bands provided music for the concert, which began at 1 p.m. Haywine, a rock and roll band from Huntington, was the first to perform. Joi, a progressive jazz group from Charleston, was second; the Blue Mountain Band, playing bluegrass, was third. The purpose of the concert, which cost S 1 500, w as to get students off cam- pus and let them socialize, according to John Van Cleve, concert chairman. ■i 100 Spring Concert 101 Spring C ' onccrl r ' vvri ■ J f t ■ t t Enough is enough. Sleep overcomes Lisa Arthur as she tries to study for a final. 102 Finals Reasons vary for finals exhaustion Knots in stomachs, cries of exaspera- tion as weariness wins the battle, droopy-eyed students who look as if they ' re just not gonna make it - greet- ed by omniscient professors who know the reason for such deplorable condi- tions of the human spirit. Part of the blame rests with the mi- raculous reputation of speed, as stu- dents naively profess they can ride easy all semester and still salvage their grades with a couple of all-nighters be- fore finals. To some students finals are consid- ered to deserve the same intensity as are other tests, whether that intensity im- plies an extensive amount of studying or hardly any. And there are those who survive on the fatalistic philosophy that hopefully teachers don ' t grade the things anyway. The frivolous side of finals week can be seen in the interaction of those stu- dents bitten by the academia bug and those immune to its sting. Many dorm residents fiock to Twin Towers cafeteria to partake of hot chocolate, coffee, and doughnuts. Oth- ers dash madly to local bars as study days offer a day of recuperation. Regardless of the attitude, when most students go home for a holiday after a week of tests, they are greeted by the legitimate observation of parents that they look like hell. If only the le- gitimate causes of that exhaustion were known. ,l( ,l 1 «3E W ' V U v ' F, I IS ' IZf D £ V .IK. F ' ,yj ' . ■■ ' . ■: -u •- ■ m iu v  « XI « M RII :|IM( 1 1 .■.• !

This is one way in which the yearbook staff has tried to help you date the year. The Middle East gains the attention of the world once again, not because of conflicts but because of the hope and apparent possibility of peace. On Nov. 15 Israel Prime Minister Menahem Begin formally invited Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to Israel in response to Sadat ' s offer to make such a trip in an effort to end the vicious circle that has kept the Middle East at war for three decades. Ten days later, Sadat travels to Jerusalem, becom- ing the first Arab leader to visit Israel in its 19 years of existence. Within three hours after his arrival, Sadat has his first private discussion with Begin. At the end of November Sadat extends an informal invitation to the United States, Israel, the Soviet Union, and several Arab nations to meet in a prelimi- nary Middle East conference. All but Israel and the United States decline the offer. Less than a month later, as a gesture of good will toward the Israelites, Egypt cut its diplomatic ties with hardline Arab nations Syria, Libya, Algeria. Iraq, and South Yemen. Egypt and Israel meet in Cairo in mid-December in the first formal face-to-face conference between Arabs and Jews aimed at forming a lasting peace. Just before the year ' s end, Sadat and Begin meet again for a two-day conference. The meeting ends with the two divided on the Palestinian issue but still deter- mined to continue the peacemaking process. Four days after the meeting. President Carter en- dorses parts of Israel ' s peace plan. Sadat announces his disappointment in Carter and states that he is embarasses by Carter ' s statement. In early January Sadat declares that Egypt and Israel are in agreement on the principle of total Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula, with the under- standing that no Jewish settlers would be permitted to remain on the reclaimed land. The next day Begin denounces this statement, say- ing Israel may withdraw its offer to return the Sinai unless the Jewish settlers living there are permitted to remain. The peace talks resume Jan. 17, despite the dis- pute. However, Sadat soon ends the peace talks, ac- cusing Israel of deliberately blocking progress toward peace in the Middle East. At the end of March, Israel sends Defense Minister Ezer Weuzman to Egypt to reopen the suspended peace talks. This move was prompted by a discussion between Carter and Begin in Washington. RACIAL STRIFE continues in South Africa in the form of protests and battles between opposing fac- tions. In late October South African protests increase as 150 blacks are arrested during a protest against gov- ernment restriction of black movement and black newspapers. Two weeks later the United States government moves to prohibit the exporting of military and police equipment to South Africa, and the United Nations adopts an arms embargo against South Africa. Rhodesian forces smash two black nationalist bases in late November, killing 1,200. Ethiopia launches a major counteroffensive to re- capture the disputed Oguden desert from the Somali rebels in early February. The power play in South Africa continues as Soviet air force units assist Cuba in air defense, freeing Cuban fighters for combat in Ethiopia. In mid-March the Somalis announce to Carter that they will leave Ethiopia. THREE MAJOR AIRLINE ACCIDENTS, among others, claim headlines. On Nov. 19 a Portugese jet- liner, carrying 163 people, crashes while landing, kill- ing 130. On Jan. 2 an Indian jumbo jet explodes and fcJIs into the sea, killing all 213 aboard. On Feb. 11a Pacific Western Airline jet crashes, killing 40 of 47 aboard. A Lufthausa jet is hijacked in mid-October with 86 aboard. German commandoes manage to rescue all the hostages, killing three of the four hijackers. A South Korean jetliner strays into Soviet Airspace on April 20 and is forced down. A Russian interceptor jet blasts a hole in the side of the plane, killing two of the 113 passengers. The Soviets open the third decade the space age by launching two cosmonauts to an orbiting space station. The mission is aborted, however, when they are un- able to link up. Bing Crosby, 73, dies Oct. 14 of a heart attack after finishing a game of golf. Charlie Chaplin, 88, dies in his sleep on Christmas Day. Sen. Hubert Humphrey, D- Minn., 66, dies in January after a long battle with cancer. 106 World Events National News for the academic year is mainly black and white - coal and snow. On Sept. 1 the United Mine Workers take out a short-term loan to pay the beneficiaries of the finan- cially troubled ' 50s pension trust, which does not have enough in it to pay for the September pensions. Miners end their 10-week wildcat strike Sept 6 and return to work after losing more than $74 million in wages. The UMW and the Bituminous Coal Operators As- sociation meet to renegotiate the contract, due to expire Dec. 6. Disagreements follow; and, in late No- vember, Gov. Jay Rockefeller criticizes both factions for the faltering coal talks. Two days later, on Nov. 25, contract negotiation talks are recessed, and a strike seems certain. Two days later mediators call for resumption of the talks. However, on Dec. 6 at 12:01 a.m. 175,000 miners go out on strike. This move terminates health and death benefits for beneficiaries of the near-bankrupt UMW Health and Retirement Fund. IN NEGOTIATIONS the next day, the UMW asks for $114 per day as top wage, compared to the for- mer high of $65.36. Four days later violence breaks out at three mining sites in Indiana, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Several non-union mines are forced to close Dec. 20 by bands of striking miners. Then, on the last day of the year, contract talks break down indefinitely. Negotiations resume, but by the end of January no resolution is apparent, and President Carter voices no plans to intervene. By Feb. 6 a tentative pact is reached between the UMW and the BCOA. The next day the Public Service Commission declares the existence of a potential ener- gy emergency because of depletion in coal reserves. The UMW bargaining council informally rejects the tentative agreement Feb. 10 and makes the rejection formal two days later. To offset the $15 million loss caused by the coal strike, West Virginia Governor Jay Rockefeller im- poses an indefinite freeze on salary increases for state employees and state spending. PRESSURE from President Carter brings about a meeting between the UMW and the BCOA at the White House Feb. 15. Five days later the UMW tentatively approves a contract with a major coal company that is not a member of the BCOA. The Punlic Service Commission suspends a sched- uled 30 percent power cutback March 2, a move which would have caused tens of thousands of workers to be laid off. Carter finally invokes the Taft-Hartley Act on March 6, saying the country can ' t wait any longer. SAFErr GOVfRMCNT IMTERFERfNCE: 107 On March 9 the miners are ordered to work by a federal judge, but virtually all ignore the order. Optimism rides high as a third pact is tentatively approved. The UMW approves the contract March 15 and sends it to the miners to ratify. The miners continue to ignore the back-to-work order, and the judge refuses to extend the order. The vote takes place March 24. Good Friday, and the contract is ratified, ending a strike that lasted three-and-a-half months. In mid-April, 81,000 retirees finally receive their checks for the months they have missed during the strike. THE WINNER ' S DEVASTATION first nears its head in early November, when a blizzard cripples the Midwestern states. It proves to be just a hint of what is to be the worst winter in a century. By early January much of the nation is bogged down beneath the snow. Schools close, traffic stops, powers fails. As the month wears on. the snow only grows deeper and more dangerous. At the end of the month, the threat changes shape, and flash floods become a danger. By Jan. 28 more than 90 people have been killed by snow in the mid- west. Snow continues in February, and a blizzard early in the month cripples the northeast U.S. Not until the middle of March does winter truly begin to fade. IN EARLY SEPTEMBER, the House Ethics Com- mittee, led by counsel Leon Jaworski. intensifies its efforts to persuade or force the South Korean govern- ment into cooperating with the investigation of the Korea Scandal. It is uncovered that Dr. Henry Kissinger and Gen. Alexander M. Haig. the chief of the White House staff, were aware as early as 1972 of the allegedly improper Korean lobbying. The investigating officials doubt Nix- on knew about the questionable efforts by Seoul to influence American policy, legislation, and public atti- tudes to favor South Korea. At the end of the year South Korean rice dealer Tongsun Park is sought to testify concerning the al- leged influence-buying operations in Congress. On Jan. 14 Park testifies to giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to U.S. Congressmen and other Washington officials. More than 20 former and pre- sent Congressmen admit accepting money and gifts from Park, but they deny any wrongdoing. BROUGHT TO TASK for his practice of over drawing his checking account at one Georgia bank and covering them with funds from another Georgia bank, Bert Lance, director of the office of management and finance, becomes what may prove to be one of the darkest spots on Carter ' s record. For the next two days, Lance tries to resign, but Carter won t let him. On Sept. 5, the Senate Investi- gating Committee asks for Lance ' s resignation. Comptroller of the Currency John G. Heinman says Lance and his family abused influential postions in the Georgia bank by overdrawing to enhance their per- sonal gain. ' After three days of testimony by Lance, the commit- tee finds itself divided about the matter. Lance resigns as budget director on Sept. 22, claim- ing to have a clear conscience. Lance, saying he stepped down because of the controversy, is described by Carter as a good and honorable man. On April 26 Lance and two Georgia banks are accused by the governemt of covering up questionable loans and overdrafts. National Events ' 0 c,TO HI no Jd OFNON THE UNITED STATES and Canada agree in early September to the construction of a Yukon pipeline across Canada, a $10 billion venture designed to bring Alaskan oil to the lower 48 states. On Oct. 4, United States District Judge John J. Siricia ends his long involvement with Watergate by drastically reducing the sentences of John Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman, and John D. Erlichman to no less than one and no more than four years. The Appalachian Power Company seeks a rate in- crease of $84.7 million, a 27 percent rate hike over the current prices. Columbia Gas asks for a rate increase of $6.1 mil- lion per year, or about $1.30 per monthly bill. Just before Christmas the steel industry settles on a 5.5 percent price increase. 109 State West Virginia, located in the heart of the nation ' s coal fields, is dramatically affected by the national coal strike, and the severe winter weather hampers travel throughout the state. Record snowfalls, accompanying the bitter winds, combine to make the winter of 1977-78 the coldest in the state ' s recorded history. DISASTERS figure heavily in the state news as 51 workers fall 168 feet to their deaths after the scaffold- ing they were standing on breaks away from a power plant cooling tower April 27 in St. Mary ' s. Hundreds of Point Pleasant residents are evacuated Jan. 23 after 20,700 gallons of highly flammable and poisonous chemicals are spilled from a derailed tanker car. In mid-October, The Charleston Gazette pub- lishes a story revealing the deaths of more than two dozen men at the Monsanto chemical plant from rare bladder tumors. Two days later boys at the West Virginia Industrial School for Boys at Prunytown testify about abuses such as being sprayed with chemical mace, slapped and kicked in the groin. The New River Gorge Bridge is dedicated Nov. 22, the second-highest bridge in the United States at about 87 feet. The span cost $37 million. The second-highest bridge in the U.S., the New River Gorge Bridge is completed in November. Governor Jay Rockefeller addresses a group of political sci- ence partipants in the Robert Taft Seminar. 110 State News APPEARING on Meet the Press Sept. 11, Gov. Jay Rockefeller promises to reveal his net worth to demonstrate his advocation of personal finance disclo- sure by public officials. One month later Rockefeller reveals that his net worth is $9.7 million. In January the state receives $439 million to be used over the next five years for the development of sewage-treatment plants. The funds were made avail- able through the Clean Water Act of 1977. In mid-December former Gov. Arch Moore enters the Senate race against incumbent U.S. Senator Jen- nings Randolph. The campaign has been classified as one of the hottest races in West Virginia politics. AT THE CHARLESTON Civic Center Dec. 4, police arrest 46 people for smoking, primarily ciga- rettes. Five are charged with possession of marijuana and five with public intoxication. Fines for those arrest- ed total $2,800. Two weeks later 48 people are arrested at the Charleton Civic Center during the Aerosmith concert for violating the no-smoking rule. The previously predominant atmosphere of smoke- filled concerts appears to have vanished from the scene in not only Charleston but also Huntington.

Ill Slate News. Sports Stella Meadows keeps her home despite Mil ' s expansion Woman, 85, lives just one day to the next ' It sits alone, nothing but asphalt and a few trees beside it. There used to be houses ail long the block on both sides and streetcar tracks in the middle of Third Avenue. At that time a person could ride to Camden Park for a nickel; children sat and watched for hours just to see a car go by (there were only three automobiles in Huntington); one large building on 16th Street house Marshall College . . . one woman still remembers the setting as if it were yesterday. Stella Meadows has seen a great many changes since she moved into the house at 1714 Third Ave. in 1918. Born Stella Stevenson on Nov. 18, 1892, she went to school in Huntington, married Erret Meadows in 1911 and lived in West Huntington and in Spencer before she moved to Third Avenue. The house cost $20 a month to rent, along with a dollar for water and about $6 for gas, although it could go as high as $12 in winter. To help defray the costs, the Mead- ows started keeping boarders, including Marshall College students. Mrs. Meadows said, My first stu- dents paid $3 a week for room and board. They were two friends of the family from Spencer who needed a place to stay while going to school. Housing was as bad then as it is now, and since there weren ' t any dormitories, maybe worse. She kept female students at first and some other boarders. I had a married couple from Virginia that stayed here for 1 1 years, and a couple from Ohio that stayed for 10. There were others along the way. One man left without paying in the night. I knew it though. Ain ' t many things happen I don ' t know about, she said. The Meadows had four children. Howard, 65, still lives in Huntington with his second wife and does the gro- cery shopping and necessary work around the house. Mrs. Meadows does as much dusting and cleaning as she can, but she said keeping a large house is difficult to do alone although it didn ' t use to be. Dad and I painted this house. I papered ev- ery room after the 1937 flood. We worked about three months cleaning the place. Water got up to about a foot on the second floor, and grease from the gas station across the street left a ring a few inches wide. Marshall gave us rules we were to enforce, like no baths after 9 o ' clock and all lights had to be out, except Saturday night they could stay up until 12. Mrs. Meadows other children are El- eanor, 61, in Pittsburgh; Fred, 55, in Cincinnati; and Ann, 44, in Florida. Mrs. Meadows started renting to male students soon after Ann was mar- ried in 1954. and 1 got glasses, 1 don ' t know when. Now my circulation is bad, that har- dening of the arteries, and my nerves ain ' t very good either. But 1 suppose that the body just wears out after a while. She said. I don ' t get out much for exercise - 1 used to walk down to John ' s before Marshall tore it down. There ' s not really any place to go now. As Marshall grew through the years, houses and businesses fell victim to the expansion. She said her house was ap- praised in 1973, and she was offered Nobody knows what the future ' s going to be. I hope to go to heaven. $19,000 for it. Soto (of MU ' s adminis- tration) came over and offered the money and said I could stay there as long as I lived, with income off the in- terest, i wanted something in writing, so he and Don Morris said I ' d get a letter from a lawyer at the last of the week. But 1 never did. 1 did get a letter from President Hayes saying that if Soto and me didn ' t agree on the price, they ' d condemn the house. She said the issue has never gone further than that. Normally speaking very slowly and thoughtfully, she speaks quickly when talking about the future. Nobody knows that the future ' s going to be. I hope 1 go to heaven. Her philosophy of life is summed up in her own wording of the golden rule. I try to do by others like I ' d like to be done by. And so Stella Meadows lives today. Girls had to be in by a certain time. If they went anywhere, they had to tell where they were going and when they ' d be back. That was awful hard to know where they was at. Marshall gave us rules we were to enforce, like no baths after 9 o ' clock and all lights had to be out, except Saturday night they could stay up until 12. When students started to change their dress habits, Mrs. Meadows said she thought it was terrible. They wasn ' t allowed to go into the cafeteria with shorts or jeans - they had to be dressed. Although Mrs. Meadows makes no mention of disliking anyone, she admits some boarders weren ' t ideal, although she won ' t go into much detail. She said, One boy drank; you couldn ' t tell it, but there were bottles all over when 1 went up to clean his room. The years passed, through the de- pression and World War II, and stu- dents came and went. She said she still gets Christmas cards from many of her past boarders. Mrs. Meadows ' husband, a mailman, became ill in the 1950s with Parkinson ' s disease. She said that even as her husband ' s condition deteriorated, there was never any thought of letting someone else take care of him. He was her husband and would be. in sickness and in health till death do you part, she said. Death parted them, after 54 years, in 1965. Mrs. Meadows ' heart attack in 1971 was the first sign of old age. She said she spent three weeks in intensive care and eight overall in the hospital. Up until then my health was pretty good. My hearing was a little worse. 113 Resisting MU ' s Expansion use or abuse?

Marshall has for some time had a reputation of being a ' party school, ' and as such alcohol and drug use must be an accepted part of its makeup. The image may be exaggerated occasionally, but the condi- tion does exist. Why do many students use or abuse alcohol and drugs? Alcohol abuse is generally attributed to its use as a pain killer, as it provides an easy method of avoiding or escaping the pressures of reality. Some, of course, drink from addiction. Surveys indicate that alchoholics tend to be emo- tionally imature, dependant on others and have a low opinion of themselves. Peer pressure is a vital inducement for students to drink, especially in terms of seeking acceptance. The new responsibility facing students, the new freedom and the stress are all factors in the problem. There are problems associated with student abuse. Alcohol, unlike most drugs, has no illegal stigma at- tached which might discourage its use. Also, few stu- dents will admit to a drinking or drug problem, making it difficult to help them. 115 Alcohol. Drugs Perhaps the greatest handicap in stopping student abuse is the fact that drinking is em acceptable practice in society. This unconscious consent makes it difficult for the alcoholic to admit problems, especially since such an admission would be taken by many to be an admission of ' weakness, ' an inability to ' hold one ' s booze. ' Despite university taboos, alcohol is smuggled into the dorm, where abuse is a definite problem, resulting in an estimated 80 percent of the damages and distur- bances that take place in the residence halls. Smuggl ing alcohol into football games also occurs as a matter of course, and Security came under fire last fall for its overzealous seizure of alcoholic beverages in the student section, especially in view of the apparent lack of such seizures in the areas patrolled by the Huntington Police Department. Drug abusers, in contrast to alcoholics, are with- drawn, tired and have trouble motivating themselves to go to classes. Most drug abusers also use alcohol. There are relatively few drug arrests on campus, and alcohol is recognized as a bigger problem in the dorms than drugs. 116 Alcohol, Drugs Down the drain. Security officer John Anderson pours out the liquor he has confiscated from the student section during the football game against Ohio University (opposite page). It won ' t take pictures, but sometimes a beer can be a more refreshing sight than a camera to even a photographer. During a weekend camping trip in Monongahela National Forest, Mike Kennedy has set his beer on his tripod. With the intention of making everyone aware of the problems of alcoholism among college students, an Alcohol Awareness Week was sponsored on campus. The events featured included films, discussion on the effects of alcohol abuse, and a speech by a repre- sentative of Alcoholics Anonymous on the relation of alcoholism to the college student. In a survey distributed as part of Alcohol Awareness Week, 33 percent of the 252 students that responded said they drink to get high but not to get drunk. Socialibilty was the reason cited by 25 percent; 23 percent said they drank for enjoyment, and 11 per- cent said they drank for the sole purpose of getting drunk; other reasons were cited by 8 percent. The weekend was the favorite time to drink, as stated by more than 71 percent of the respondents. Weekdays were preferred by 6 percent, and 22 per- cent said they saw no difference between the two. Drinking never interfered with class attendance, ac- cording to 51 percent; 31 percent said drinking inter- fered about once a semester, 14 percent said once a month, and 3 percent said once a week. Results of the survey will be used in the training for resident advisers, according to housing officials. 117 Alcohol, Drugs It is some thing each student must face each semester (some more than others, depending on who is footing the bill). First, there s tuition, then for some there are dorm fees (back to that in a minute), and for all full-time students there are Student Fees. Student fees are unusual in that you don ' t always see what it goes to. You see your tuition fees at work every time you go to class, but your dorm fees are much more invisible, however. For example, the BOR approved fee increases during the academic year of $2.45 in regular student fees and $3.50 in special student fees. The regular fees went to the following increases in the amounts already received by: WMUL radio - .50 Literary publications - .10 Intramural sports - .15 Intercollegiate athletics -1.70 Funds for athletic activities have always been decried by scholars, but eventually even the most cynical will begrudgingly pay out the requested funds. Then there is WMUL radio. Let ' s see the hands of all those who faithfully listen to WMUL, as opposed to WGNT or WKEE. And how many don ' t listen to the radio at all? And how many think this hike is a waste of money? Ah, and then there ' s the literary publications (Et Cetera, etc.) that we all look forward tp all semester long. 118 Student Fees The $3.50 hike in special student fees, by the way, is to cover the cost of additional dormitory room keys. These, however, are just the increases. Look now at the regular student fees: TABLE OF ASSESSMENTS STUDENT ACTIVITY-SERVICES FEE Institutional Activity Fee: Artists Series Chief Justice Convocations and Forums Debate Et.

As if it didn ' t seem too much for nothing already, the BOR approved a 29,13 increase for room and board per semester per student. The students living in University Housing also got hit with a $5 monthly increase. 119 Student Fees notes o o o o XT -o- O- o- -O- D.

College Life, sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ, offered companionship and a chance for religious discussions among participants. The other coffee house was also an activity in the Christian Center, offer- ing refreshments, quiet entertainment and friendship. Listening to entertainment during a session of College Life is Jody McCory (center). 122 Christian Center Sing along. Walter W. Wood, Campus Chrislian Center director, performs for students during College Life. 123 Christian Center Released at the end of May, 1977, it went on to become the highest-grossing film ever, easily surpass- ing Jaws. Directed and written by George Lucas, the so-called space fantasy developed a following whose admiration for the film neared or surpassed fanaticism. It, of course, is Star Wars. The film won several Oscars, best musical score and special effects among them, and set box office records across the country. Star Wars heralded the return of the enjoyable film as Lucas drew on the classic adventure scenes from such varied sources as old westerns (barroom brawls, shootouts, calvary charges), war movies (dog- fights), pirate movies (ship-to-ship fights, smugglers) and even samauri movies (the student duels his old master, the passing of the father ' s sword to his son). All these were combined in a science fiction setting (possibly the only one that could accommodate the various concepts) that featured alien creatures, fantas- tic ships and more fantastic weaponry, and the result was what may prove to be the most popular movie ever. Star Wars did not, however, win the Oscar for best picture. It was nominated for the award, along with The Goodbye Girl, Julia, and The Turning Point, but the winner was Woody Allen ' s Annie Hall, a bittersweet comedy starring Allen and Diane Keaton, who won the best actress award. Allen won best director and original screenplay writer awards. 124 Movies We farcE bE Luith qau ' Space fantasy ' Star Wars ' breaks box office records, but bittersweet comedy, ' Annie Hall, ' picture of year Virtually all the major cinematic comedy writers released films during the year, one of the best of which was Neil Simon ' s The Goodbye Girl, which featured Richard Dreyfuss, who won the Oscar for best actor. Mel Brooks released (or unleashed) High Anxi- ety, a takeoff of Alfred Hitchcock ' s films. Gene Wilder starred in The World ' s Greatest Lover, an on-and-off comedy detailing the efforts of a small town man trying to make it big in Hollywood, and Marty Feldman directed and starred in The Last Remake of Beau Geste, a takeoff on Foreign Legion films. Carl Reiner, better known for his work in television, entered the realm of film comedies with Oh, God! The film featured George Burns in the title role and John Denver in his first film. Reiner also released The One and Only, which featured Henry Winkler as a prima donna wrestler. Close Encounters of the Third Kind, another sci- ence fiction film, was released in the fall of ' 77, and experienced great success. By no means an attempt to capitalize on the success of Star Wars, Close En- cunters did, however, make use of stunning special effects. The film detailed the classic tale of man ' s first face-to-face contact with creatures from another world. The film starred Richard Dreyfuss. There were other hits, of course, such as Saturday Night Fever, featuring John Travolta ' s dancing and the music of the Bee Gees. Others were Julia, which starred Vanessa Redgrave and Jason Robard, best supporting actress and actor respectively, and The Turning Point. Other popular movies with popular stars included Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me, Diane Keaton in Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Richard Pryor in Greased Lightning, Clint Eastwood in The Gauntlet, Gregory Peck in Mac Arthur, and Jill Clayburgh in An Unmarried Woman.

Then there were other efforts, both good and bad, that never quite made it, such as Bound for Glory, Heroes, The Other Side of Midnight, Bobby Deerfield, Rollercoaster, Damnation Alley, You Light Up My Life, and Jabberwocky, among others. Television experienced yet another season of wide- spread cancellations, special programming once again gained the lion ' s share of ratings and attention, and once again ABC was the top network in regard to ratings. Holocaust, NBC ' s semi-factual documentation of the treatment the Jews received under the Nazis, gar- nered a great deal of attention, both pro and con as to the accuracy of the film. While Holocaust made a killing in the ratings, ABC ' s much-heralded Washing- ton Behind Closed Doors, a thinly disguised treat- ment of the Nixon administration, did not fare nearly as well as it was expected to. With violence on TV coming more and more under fire, the networks began to curb it down and turned, with ABC leading the way, to sex as a drawing card. The only true hit of the new shows introduced was Soap, a humorous takeoff on the afternoon dramat- ic programming of the same name. The program dealt with adult situations, carried with it a warning to parents that it might not be suited for their children, and was promptly droopped by the local station, WOWK-TV, who judged it unfit for viewing. Other new shows included Love Boat, a Love, American Style at sea, and Operation: Petticoat, Tragedy revisited is evident in NBC ' s Holocaust (above) while insanity rules on NBC ' s Saturday Night Live , especial- ly when guest host Steve Martin teams up with regular Dan Aykroyd. 126 Movies, Television a situation comedy that featured a group of nurses stuck on a submarine full of sailors in World War II. ABC also picked up Redd Foxx from NBC ' s San- ford and Son, gave him an hour-long variety show and, after a short run, cancelled it. ABC ' s main strength in the ratings came from its old standbys, such as Three ' s Company, Eight is Enough, Laverne and Shirley, Happy Days, and Family. CBS, unused to its second place position, fought back with two spinoffs from the very popular and just ended Mary Tyler Moore Show. Lou Grant, fea- turing Ed Asner as the city editor of a large Los Angelas newspaper, was the only program introduced by CBS at the start of the season that did even moder- ately well. The Betty White Show was mercifully cancelled. Other new CBS entries that died were Logan ' s Run, Young Dan ' l Boone, Rafferty, The Fitz- patricks, We ' ve Got Each Other, and On Our Own. Like ABC, CBS ' s main strength came from such old shows as M ' A ' S ' H, All in the Family, The Bob Newhart Show, The Jeffersons and Good Times. Some of the old favorites were showing their age, however, as The Carol Burnett Show began losing ratings to Love Boat and announced that this would be its last season. NBC, once again in the cellar, also spawned only one semi-successful show out of its new season, CHIPs. All the others soon folded, including The FLEETWOOD MAC Rumours liii.ludc ' ' tlx- Hit (..t) V ur LX n .i NVvvr t iciTii; Kk k Aty iii Sinj;bii J JAMES TAYLOR JT including Handy Man Bartender ' s Blues Your Smiling Face Terra Nova Traffic Jam THE STEVE MILLER BAND I Book of Dreams!

Fleetwood Mac also received awards for best single, Dreams, as well as artist and band of the year. The outstanding male vocalist was James Taylor, on the strength of JT. Jackson Browne placed second in the voting and received the best songwriter honors, his latest release being Running On Empty, his first live album. Linda Ronstadt was named outstanding female vo- calist, and Stcvie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac placed sec- ond. Ronstadt also placed second in the artist of the year voting, her latest release being Simple Dreams.

The best country artist was Dolly Parton, with Way- Ion Jennings placing second. The best jazz artist was George Benson, best soul artist was Stevie Wonder and best instrumentalist was Jeff Beck. The best new artist was Foreigner, with Boston placing second. Amo ng other noteworthy occurances: The soundtrack Saturday Night Fever set a mark for the longest run at the top of the chart. Two albums featuring classical music made it big with young audiences, both by John Williams. They were the soundtracks to Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Neil Young released Decade, a review of what has been described as one of the wildest careers in rock and roll. Billy Joel finally gained long-deserved recognition iwith The Stranger, which featured the single I Love You Just the Way You Are. Elvis Costello began what may or may not become a aew wave of rock and roll with his album My Aim is True. Crosby, Stills and Nash had an honest-to-goodness reunion and released CSN.

Without any diving power, the Herd water buffaloes entered the Southern Conference swimming meet as the pre- tournament favorite. Marshall ' s swim- mers returned from Lexington, Va., set- ting two conference records and one school record as they defeated Appala- chian State. Brian Ihnen set a conference record in the 200-yard butterfly and became the first Marshall swimmer to break the two-minute mark with a time of 1:57.91.

Randy Bowles, coming in second to a Citadel swimmer in the championship meet, set a Marshall record in the 100- yard breastroke with a time of 1:01.55. We truly had a great team effort, said Coach Bob Saunders after the Southern Conference championship. Following the SC meet was the East- ern Intercollegiate Invitational Swim- ming and Diving Championship meet. Marshall had 12 swimmers who quali- fied to enter, either by team or by indi- vidual effort. The Herd returned from the meet finishing seventh and setting 1 1 school records. no Swimming •lisr - 131 Swimming Zi® €lL £te. £ After Stu Aberdeen was hired to re- place Bob Daniels as head basketball coach, he cautioned the public that he was no miracle worker. But when the little professor began basketball practice at 12:01 a.m. Oct. 15, the earliest beginning date allowed by the NCAA, it was if a magic wand had been waved over the freshly paint- ed field house. The Thundering Herd had regained its magic touch for basketball. Aberdeen ' s preseason goals were to produce a winning record, to compete in the Southern Conference and chal- lenge for the league title, and to put the program on a course toward winning the Southern Conference championship and advancing to the NCAA tourna- ment as well as national ranking. The Herd ' s season record, including tournament play, was 14-15, two games short of the first goal. The challenge for the league title was a hopeful possibility until the final game when Furman crushed that dream 69-53. Fancy warm-ups. Pat Burtis performs during pre- game warm-ups.

Marshall ' s basketball tradition had been established with Cam Henderson, the initiator of the fast break and the zone defense. But the Herd could not rest on its past laurels, as last season ' s dismal re- cord of 8 wins and 19 losses can attest. The Herd opened its season with an easy win over Robert Morris College of Pittsburgh. A loss to Ohio State and an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Morris Harvey followed. In the final Marshall Memorial Invi- tational Tournament, to be replaced next season by the West Virginia Clas- sic, the Herd finished last, the first time since the tournament started 1 1 years ago. During the Christmas holidays, the Herd seesawed from loss to victory, in- cluding a tough defeat to then national- ly ranked University of Detroit. After a loss on the road to VMI, the Herd began playing like winners. In succession, MU knocked off Western Carolina, Furman and UT-Chatan- ooga. In the Chattanooga game. Bunny Gibson thrilled the capacity crowd by scoring 50 points, breaking MU ' s sin- gle-game scoring record. By this time, even MU students who had had no economics class became painfully aware of the law of supply and demand. A ticket to Herd Heaven was at times very difficult to obtain. When the Louisville Cardinals invad- ed the field house, the capacity crowd got more for their tickets than a basket- ball game. Tension mounted as physical and ver- bal abuses were traded by both sides - until the Herd fans could take no more. Clad in hooded robes, the Herd parades be- fore enthusiastic fans. Playmaker Greg White dribbles down the court. A freshman. White was the first West Virginia player recruited to Marshall in the last nine years, since Mike D ' Antoni in 1968. 133 Basketball Emotion-filled season ends to Furman Play was halted for several minutes as the crowd taunted the Louisville team, littered the floor with ice and pennies, and filled the air with profan- ity. Greg White was hit from the side by Louisville ' s Darrell Griffith. ML ' s Ken Labanowski and the Cardinals Larry Williams were ejected from the game. The crowd ' s immature behavior and Aberdeen ' s ostentatious exhibitions of emotion reportedly drew criticism from members of Marshall ' s adminis- tration. After the Louisville game, the Herd embarked on a two-game Southern Conference road trip, losing to the Cita- del by an embarrassing score of 74-57 in a regionally televised game by NBC and to Western Carolina 54-52. The Herd returned to the field house to defeat V ' MI. During the game, peti- tions calling for the resignation of Ath- letic Director Joe McMuUen circulated throughout Herd heaven. Striting for an open shot. ML ' s Harley Major (52) passes to Greg Young (41) during the Cita- del game in the field house. The Herd won 85-81. The agony of defeat is expressed by Stu .Aberdeen (left) and assistant coach C.J.

Then came tAegame. the long-await- ed clash against WVU. in which MU was defeated 80-73. The Herd ended its regular season in Morgantown with a 12-14 record. But Marshall ' s conference record was good enough for a third-place fin- ish and the home-court advantage in the opening tourney game against Western Carolina. The Herd won 64- 56. Advancing to the final two rounds at Roanoke. Va., MU beat VMI and faced Furman in the finals. The Paladins decisively ended the Herd ' s up-and-down, on-and-off sea- son; the emotion-filled five months was over. On March 17, 1977, Stuart W. Aber- deen was hired as Marshall ' s basketball coach. The theme for the season be- came A past to remember, a future to mold.

The coliseum was tauntingly decorat- ed in Marshall slurs; the Mountaineers confiscated the WV-WHO? signs. The atmosphere crackled with appre- hension, from the Mountaineers ' side- line student section to the dispersed Marshall student sections hanging from the ceiling rafters. A crowd of 12,132 viewed West Vir- ginia win the long-awaited, long-talked, about basketball confrontation between the two schools. Of those 12,132 tickets, Marshall students and community Herd supporters shared 1,400. MU ' s student tickets were sold in a few hours. Optimism, running high in Hunting- ton since it was announced that on Feb. 20 MU and WVU would play ball, con- tinued to mount along the three-and-a- half hour trek to Morgantown. Tolerating taunts and jeers, the Herd crowd displayed extreme maturi- ty while Mountaineers threw ice on the floor, heckled Stu Aberdeen, and bust- ed green balloons throughout the game. It would have all been worth it ... if only the result had been different. For native West Virginians affiliated with Marshall, so much more was at stake than the final score of a basket- ball game. In the minds of many, the game was a test of academic superior- ity. At the pre-game noon press confer- ence, MU head coach Stu Aberdeen and WVU head coach Jody Gardner referred to this climactic occasion as just another game. But their superficially casual attitude could not mask the anxiety. For Gard- ner, rumor had it that his job depended on a victory. As it turned out, the Mountaineers managed to evade the embarrassment of a loss; but Gardner got the axe anyway, the day after WVU ' s season ended. The Mountaineers ' home-court ad- vantage clearly came through. As Mar- shall was never in a one-and-one free- throw situation in either half, despite the Mountaineers ' aggressive man-to- man defense, the question arose why both referees were from Fairmont. Statistics proved WVU the deserved winner. Never ahead, Marshall tied the score only twice, a 2-2 and 4-4. Re- bounds - and the lack of, on the Herd ' s part - were a decisive factor in the game ' s outcome. At halftime, the Mountaineers led 42-32, out-rebounding the Herd 26-12. Overcoming the 10-point halftime defi- cit, MU pulled within four, at 58-54, with 11 V2 minutes remaining. But the Herd could get no closer than five, at x 72-67, with three minutes left in the game. The frustration came in the Herd ' s repeated opportunities to cut the lead to two or three points. Even the score- keepers had difficulty accounting for all the layups missed. Danny Hall led the Herd ' s scoring attack with 20 points. Bunny Gibson, then averaging 22 points a game, scored only 10 before he fouled out. Gibson led the Herd in rebounds with nine. Although Gibson did not shoot a free throw during the game, he set a nation- al foul-shooting record with a percent- age of 95.1, hitting 77 of 81 shots for the season. Finishing the regular season in Mor- gantown with a 12-14 record, the Herd had nothing to be embarrassed about, with the final score 80-73. As Marshall fans filtered out of the coliseum, they futilely attempted to muffie their excruciating disappoint- ment with mutters of let ' s get ' em in the field house. But it was a hell of a long 40 minutes. ,y 1 0 , h 4ee- idKer p KArA [ R.rAef r JK ' : rO ati r Cf A .XXast O ' -? 136 MU-WVU Game Trying for a bucket, Greg White (10) goes up over a banner on Ihc Delta Tau Delta fraternity house wel- WVU defender.

Fans came from the cities, towns, and coal fields of West Virginia to watch their team play in the final two games of the Southern Conference champion- ship in Roanoke, Va. They left behind the bitterness of the Louisville game melee and the disap- pointing loss to cross-state rival WVU. The embarrassment of the early season loss to Morris Harvey College had been stifled by the greatest cure of all, father time. One man, Stuart W. Aberdeen, whose physical stature isn ' t much to speak of but whose charisma and coaching ability enable him to rise and stand tall with the best of them, took a hapless and losing team of a year ago and turned it into a contender for the Southern Conference championship. Marshall earned its berth in the semi- finals by defeating Western Carolina University 64-56 before a sellout home crowd of 6,500. Virginia Military Institute, consid- ered to have the home-court advantage, was the next obstacle the Herd had to overcome before advancing to the championship game. The game was close throughout, with neither team having a lead greater than six points. But the Keydets, unable to bring the pressure of the infamous pit with them, saw hopes of a Southern Conference championship pass by as the Herd capitalized on the opposition ' s mistakes in the final seconds and won the game 76-71. Chants of We are number one echoed throughout the great hall of the Roanoke civic center. Tears of joy were shed by fans, players, and coaches. The crowd ' s enthusiasm fiowed like lava from an erupting volcano. But the excitement was shortlived. Furman University, having defeated Appalachian State 72-68 earlier that night, earned a berth in the finals against Marshall. The night of the championship game was bitterly cold. The civic center, less full than it was the first night because of VMI ' s loss, had something missing be- sides the larger crowd of the previous night. Exuberant fans display support for the Herd at The Roanoke civic center. MU players Jeff Oplinger. Bill DeWeese and Ron Gilmore are among the crowd that watched MU defeat VMI 76-71. It was the enthusiasm that had bel- lowed from the Herd players the night before that was missing. The excite- ment usually noticeable in a player the night of a championship game was somehow lacking in the Marshall cagers. It was as if they were drained of all the energy they had or could hope to have. The rebounders were coming up empty handed. The passers weren ' t hit- ting the receivers. The shooters were winding up scoreless. The cold night air appeared to have followed the Herd onto the court and cooled what had looked to be th e hottest MU team since the days of Mike D ' Antoni and Russell Lee. The result was a 69-53 loss to Fur- man . . . and a long trip home. Surrounded by Keydets, Danny Hall (55) goes up for two during the semifinals of the Southern Conference championship. Frustration and disappointment Increase as Herd fans watch Furman defeat MU in the SC finals. Up for two. Frank Steele shoots above the out- stretched arms of Furman defenders.

And, despite the 69-53 loss to Fur- man in the Southern Conference tour- nament championship game that ended the season, Aberdeen did quite well, ac- cording to almost all of the judges. He had stepped into a situation, abandoned in 1977 by ex-coach Bob Daniels that was bad, to say the least. Yet he managed to scratch and claw his way to a respectable 14-15 record. In his first year alone, Aberdeen had to cope with an almost unbelievable loss to Morris Harvey College, the hoopla surrounding the final Marshall Memo- rial Invitational tourney, the legendary shootout with West Virginia University Feb. 20 at Morgantown and the Herd ' s first season of Southern Conference competition. Increasing the dizzying pace of Aber- deen ' s whirlwind debut was the fact that he was coaching personnel that tal- ent-wise just couldn ' t stack up with many of the teams MU played. At no time during the course of the season was the Herd ' s lack of natural talent more obvious than it was in the tourney final against Furman. Faced with a stalling Paladin offense, Aberdeen knew he could not use a man- to-man defense, which requires sub- stantial athletic ability on the part of each player, to apply constant pressure to the Furman ball handler. So, Aberdeen tried to counter the Paladin freeze with his standard 1-3- 1 zone. It is a known fact of basketball life that it is easier to pass the ball around a zone than it is a man-to-man. However, the MU players busted their rear-ends. They hustled con- stantly, doing everything they could to cut the Paladin lead. It wasn ' t to be, though. This would be one occasion where sheer talent would triumph over guts. The kids were tired and they played their hearts out, Aberdeen said after the heartbreaking 16-point defeat. Otherwise, they wouldn ' t be crying their eyes out now. He said before the season started the biggest problem he had was making the players have faith in themselves. Against Southern Illinois and Okla- homa State early in the season, we didn ' t ' reach out ' and take the win when we could have, he continued. But, later on, we played some people tough and started to ' take ' some. And, take some they did. Marshall probably beat more teams this season simply by thinking it could than any other team in school history. And, it happened because Aberdeen got more out of his charges than they thought they had to give. The ladders that we reached to climb at the beginning of the season, Aberdeen said, were to have a winning season and finish in the confe rence ' s top four. It takes no mathematical whiz-kid to figure out that those goals were missed by just two games — and a generous dose of innate ability. Perhaps, MU ' s cheering section at the Furman game summed up the uni- versity ' s feelings about the team better than anything else. Near the end of the contest, with the Herd hopelessly beaten, Marshall ' s supporters stood in unison and began chanting, We ' re proud of our team. Damn right we are. 140 V L A l133QffW j_ 1 ?H Wn fc f :- - p Rhythm key to Bunny ' s foul shooting After a game in Herd Heaven, at least a dozen children engulf the 6-2 Morganfield Ky., junior, and plead, Can 1 have your autograph, Bunny? Smiling, Bunny Gibson attempts to answer one of 20 questions while sign- ing anything from a game program to a torn popcorn box. But Bunny keeps his cool as he speaks gently to his raging junior fans. The same composed nature shines on the court during game time as he sinks 20 - to 30-foot jump shots in succession to the chanting fans, BUN-NY, BUN-NY, BUN-NY. The score of the 115-91 win over UT-Chattanooga may not always be remembered, but the number 50 will be associated with Car- los Bunny Gibson for a long time to come. Bunny set a Thundering Herd single-game scoring record with 22 of 27 shots from the floor and 6 of 8 foul shots. After 31 minutes of playing time, he was carried off the floor by his elated teammates. Two other school records Bunny has are most field goals in a game, with 22, and most consecutive free throws, with 52. The greatest achievement of Bunny ' s junior year is setting an NCAA free- throw record. During the season. Bunny made 84 of 89 foul shots for 94.4 per cent. Bunny said, It ' s a great accomplish- ment. I was fortunate not to have any injuries and to break the record. Bunny ' s foul-shooting method is rhythm. It ' s like a ritual every person does, he said. I count one, count three dribbles, think ' straight line ' and shoot. I think ' straight line ' because my shots fade to the left sometimes. Ask Bunny about his goal, and he ' ll say, My goal is to be a success. Ask Herd basketball fans, not neces- sarily children, what they think of the Herd hero, and they will likely agree Bunny Gibson is a success. ff ' ' v - ' ' 1 f mm W1 v P Pi f if tVr ■ 4. • ▲ Herd fans led by love for ' the little man ' The Stu Aberdeen-led crew worked its way into the hearts and souls of the Marshall community. They cheered and they jeered; they loved and they hated; they won and they lost; and in the minds of all who knew, all who were there - it was great. With a new coach, a berth in the Southern Conference and a new hope, the Marshall fans poured into Memori- al Field House for the show. And a show they were given. In keeping with his plans to arouse the spirit of the team and the fans, Aberdeen paraded his team past the crowd in a highly dramat- ic manner. At first, the fans were stunned; then they cheered. The crowd continued celebrating and cheering through each game. Sometimes, even defeat would not calm the storm. The fans, not always pleased with the opponents or the referees, still never lost faith in the Herd. As the tension mounted at several games, fans could be seen biting nails, clenching fists and screaming obscenities. After the Febru- ary 1st Louisville game, the crowd was criticized for bad sportsmanship. Some people, particularly Athletic Director Joe McMullen, were afraid of what might happen at the WVU game. But the crowd pulle d through and no one was embarrassed. And the love for the little man who led the cheering re- mained intact. Dismal 2-9 record falls short of Ellwood ' s preseason predictions After three years of recruiting and building, I believe we have a team that will not be mismatched when we step on the field. — Frank Ellwood prior to the 1977 season. The bitter visage of head football coach Frank Ellwood glumly squints from the pages of the 1977 Marshall University football program. His cap is crooked, his mouth stretched in a tight frown. And he has good reason. After only two season, Ellwood ' s Thundering Herd appears on the brink, reads the mentor ' s profile. And on the brink his team was. We ' ll probably win the Southern Conference title this year. I mean that because I think we are good enough. — Frank Ellwood in the Aug. 18, 1977 Parthenon. Ellwood ate crow. Badly. His presea- son prediction of a Southern Confer- ence grid championship in his team ' s first year of eligibility set the flounder- ing league on its ear. And the utter failure of his team made him its laugh- ing stock. We play 1 1 (games) and we have a shot at winning 1 1. — Frank Ellwood in the Sept. 7, 1977 Parthenon. The Thundering Herd played 1 1 games, and in that aspect Ellwood was correct. Too bad it won only two. Marshall optimistically opened its season at home against Ohio Universi- ty. In that wild scoring affair, the meth- od of the Herd ' s self-destruction was unveiled. Although Marshall scrambled for 27 points against the Mid-America Conference preseason favorite, the po- rous defense gave up seven touchdowns. Even a win over an obviously out- matched Morehead State squad was in doubt as the Eagles bombed Marshall ' s anemic defenders for 26 points en route to a 38-26 loss. But the Herd ' s win streak was on. Ellwood ' s charges actually resembled a competent athletic unit when they shut out — yes, shut out — Toledo for a Homecoming victory. However, all things must end. And Marshall ' s football victories came to a sudden, scathing, screeching halt. Appalachian State. A team that fin- ished with a dismal 2-9 record. A weak conference doormat. Just the team for Marshall to trounce for its SC win, right? Wrong. The Mountaineers edged the the Herd 28-20 in Boone, N.C., as MU embarked on a four-game road trip that showed Frank Ellwood a glimpse of the putrid pits of purgatory. A 10-point loss to Miami of Ohio . . . a disaster at Furman to eliminate the Herd from the SC race ... a defensive collapse at Western Michigan . . . thought I was a coaching genius. — Frank Ellwood in the Oct. 27,1977 Parthenon as he described a squib kickoff that resulted in a Western Michigan touchdown. So the Herd came home to the friendly confines of Fairfield Stadium to face the slumping Louisville Cardi- nals. It wasn ' t a pretty sight. Louisville sodomized the impotent men of Marshall 56-0 for the second- worst thrashing in modern Herd histo- ry. Enough said. don ' t know what I can say . . . I have no explanation. — Frank Ellwood in the Nov. 1, 1977 Parthenon as he discussed the Louisville disaster. But the season didn ' t end with the Louisville debacle. There was Ellwood ' s bitter criticism of an official following a loss to Akron. There was a belated comeback attempt against Western Carolina that fell short. And forget about Chattanooga . . . As in any losing situation, emotions flared. Several football players criti- cized Ellwood and his staff for allegedly using inferior athletes because of bias and public pressure. The story appeared on page one of the Nov. 1 1, 1977 Par- thenon. We expected a helluva lot more this year, but we just made too many mistakes. We corrected a lot of them but then more would crop up. — Frank Ellwood in the Nov. 22, 1977 Parthenon. The team finished with a 2-9 record. Its Southern Conference mark was a perfect 0-5. The defense followed suit, allowing an average of 425.2 yards a game as it surrendered 54 touchdowns. I ' m just saying we have the raw talent, the capacity to play evenly with every team we face. — Frank Ellwood in the Sept. 7, 1977 Parthenon. Rest in peace, Frank. 144 Football Caught from behind.

The team ' s SC championship title provided momentum for the athletic program, for the track program, and for the entire area, according to head coach Rod O ' Donnell. O ' Donnell said the conference title was the result of three years of building a program that went from the grass roots to national recognition. In the Lexington contest, John Dot- son, Dupont sophomore, finished sec- ond in merit competition. According to O ' Donnell, Dotson had been running all season in the shadow of MU ' s Dave Kline, St. Albans junior. Brian Jonard, Caldwell, Ohio fresh- man, landed third place: Damon Clark, Wheeling junior, finished in seventh place; Dave Shafer, Middletown, Md. senior, was 12th and Kline was 13th. O ' Donnell was named Southern Con- ference Coach of the Year after the Herd ' s victory in the league ' s cham- pionship meet. The cross country team had a perfect dual-meet record, winning six. In the first meet, MU defeated Western Caro- lina Sept. 10 in Huntington. Seven con- secutive Herd runners followed the Ca- tamounts Dennis Ksprzwk across the finish line. In the meet against Morehead, the Herd took the first five places, achiev- ing the lowest score possible in cross countr competition. The final score was 15-46, and Dave Kline was the meet ' s individual winner. On Sept. 24, MU finished second in the Malone Invitational, with 57. Cleveland won the meet, with 44. The Herd defeated both Virginia Tech and VMI on Oct. 1 . MU defeated Tech 25-30 and VMI 20-37. In the Notre Dame Invitational, the Herd finished second in the gold divi- sion. Coach O ' Donnell described the meet as the country ' s biggest invita- tional cross country meet. The gold di- vision consisted of new teams and those not in the top 1 5 of the previous year ' s blue division. Saginaw Valley State College of Michigan won the 24-team gold divi- sion with 48 points, and MU followed with 107. In the Marshall Invitational Oct. 15, the University of Pittsburg won, be- coming only the third cross country team to defeat the Herd. Pitt finished with 31 points, MU was second with 39, and Morehead had 59. MU beat Ohio University 20-36 on Oct. 21, and the Herd defeated Rio Grande College 21-38 on Oct. 26. With a perfect dual-meet record of six wins, the Herd devastated the field in the SC championship on Nov. 5, outscoring runner-up VMI 37-55. The cross country team finished 10th at Greenville, S.C. on Nov. 12 in what coach O ' Donnell called one of the na- tion ' s toughest regional meets. Forty- eight teams were represented in the meet, and the top six qualified for the nationals in Spokane, Wash. Runners Ron Peggs (left) and Dave Kline wait for the Marshall Invitation to begin.

This year the marching band thundered onto the field with such popular songs as Rocky, Star Wars, La- verne and Shirley, and Ever- green. Each year new band mem- bers are recruited from surrounding high schools. Majorettes and flag corps members are selected at April tryouts by a panel of judges. The group travels to one away football game. The band ' s 1977 trip was to the Marshall-Arkon game. Band members and majorettes participate in basketball season by providing a pep band at the home games. The pep band is usually provided trans- portation to follow the team to tour- naments away from Huntington. f, ii — — Ili h — F -3f -WJ •- P i Kathy Raike, Debbie Burdette, Vicky Persinger, Terry Ross, Betty Jo Miller, Dena Cooper, Pam McMa- hon, Theresa Cooper (Co-Captian), Crystal Hutchinson, Patricia Groves, (Co-Captain), Betsy Cook, Becky Thacker (alternate), Linda Jibotian 155 Majorettes Netters end season with 8 wins, 11 losses The 1978 tennis season was the second straight year the team finished with an 8-11 record.

During both the fall and spring sea- sons, the team played in many high cali- ber tournaments such as the Georgia University Invitational. Bunton also captured the individual title in a sudden death playoff hole dur- ing the Marshall Invitation at Riveria, while Marshall placed seventh as a team. Coach Dr. Dorothy Hicks will not be back to coach MU ' s women next year but she will continue to help with ad- vice. Hicks has been head coach of the women ' s team for the first three years of its existance. A female can play golf Nancy Bunton has showed West Vir- ginia that a female can play golf-and play it well. She has won the West Virginia Ama- teur several times and has represented MU in numerous golf tournaments for the past three years. Nancy captured the Marshall Women ' s Invitational and also the Midwest AIAW tournament. Beginning as a golfer at the age of 13, Nancy found encouragment and in- struction from her parents and others as she practiced at her home course of Spring Valley. With a three handicap, Nancy plans to give professional golf a try after graduation in December, with a degree in marketing. One Two .

In the Dr. Pepper Tournament in Memorial Student Center, Marshall defeated eight other teams as Whitten was the winner of all events. Finishing eighth in the National Tournament in Milwaukee, the nation- ally rated team consisted of Jody Whit- ten, Tammy Utt, Peg O ' Brien, Terri Bartlett, and Linda Ray. Coach Ken Pemberton said, They represented Marshall well.

Herd coach Bob Barnette said he was pleased with the outcome of the season, regardless of the outcome of the SC tournament; but 190-pounder Jeremiah Gagnon and 142-pounder Ralph Truitt won berths to the NCAA tournament by winning individual titles at the Southern Conference match. E.x- ceptionally pleased, Barnett called the two titles tremendous accomplish- ments. J. Gagnon won 14 matches in a row, including dual meets, which is a school record. Gagnon made himself a cham- pion, Barnett said. He is the most dedicated wrestler I have encountered. As a team, the Herd placed third among the seven other teams of the Southern Conference. As well as the achievements of Gagnon and Truitt, six other Herd grapplers placed in the meet. Obtaining second-place finishes were 158-pounder Gene Clapsis and 177- pounder David Coyle.

In his 13th year, head coach Jack Cook led the Thundering Herd baseball team to its second appearance in the NCAA baseball tournament, with a season record of 25 wins and 1 1 losses, the team ' s record in the Southern Con- ference was 1 1 wins and one loss. The season was a record-breaking year. When the Herd defeated More- head State on May 1, Marshall won its 25th game of the year, a new school record for the most wins in a season. After dropping its first SC game, the Herd reeled off 1 1 consecutive wins to capture the conference championship in its second year of competition in the Southern Conference. In the NCAA double-elimination tournament in Miami, Fla., the Herd defeated 15th-ranked Florida State and then beat power-house Clemson, a team third in the nation. Greg Rowsey was the winning pitcher for MU. Marshall then faced Miami for a sec- ond game. With Albie DeYoung at the mound, the Herd had its final attempt in the tournament but fell to Miami. While Miami advanced to the Col- lege World Series, Marshall ended with a final national ranking of 14th. After the season, several Herd play- ers were reviewed by professional teams. Albie DeYoung, Greg Rowsey, Randy Rowsiek and John Rulie found themselves under pro surveillance.

The story is a little different for the group of students in charge of lead- ing the crowd in cheering and rooting for the team. The job of cheerleading is an easy one when everyone is happy. The stands are full and enthusiastic. But what hap- pens when the team suffers a continuing series of defeats, as the 1977 Herd foot- ball team did? And what do when the basketball crowd becomes so spirited that there is a threat of discontinuing the game? One thing for sure, perhaps the most loyal and dedicated fans are the cheer- leaders. Besides doing their duty to the fans, the teams must come first and no matter what the final score or stand- ing, they have to cheer. 176 Cheerleaders 177 Cheerleaders i.: - Vl ' ltiS2c sSrii Sia e«. iugi i! - ' ■■■;.■ ' ■ .

Not accustomed to fast-pitch soft- ball, the team ended with a 0-14 record and failed to place in the double elimi- nation state tournament in Morgan- town. The best the team played together all year was in a rematch with Eastern Kentucky where the Herd was winning to the bottom of the last inning but were beaten with a grand slam and lost 25- 22. There was not as much interest in the sport as we had hoped. said coach Linda Holmes. We had trouble keep- ing a team together this year. 179 Women ' s Softball 180 Inlramurals Intramural football Rules changed to eliminate contact Primary emphasis may be placed on varsity athletics; but the participants in intramurals can attest to the fact that competition is just as fierce. An observation by some spectators of intramural football is that more blood and guts are displayed on the field across from Twin Towers than on the turf at Fairfield stadium. Changes were made in intramural football rules to eliminate excessive contact, according to Tom Levins, in- tramural director. Lovins said the changes were implemented because of past disturbances. The major switch in the game was from two-hand touch to fiag football, in which the offensive player is downed when two fiags are grabbed from his belt. Teams from dormitories and social organizations criticized the action of the first-year intramural director and threatened to boycott. But Lovins stood firm in his decision, and the games began. Most of the teams agreed to abide by the new rules. 181 Inlramural.s Intramural council to provide student input To provide student input into plan- ning for intramural sports, Tom Lo ins, director of intramurals, said he plans to begin an advisory council. The board would have one represen- tative from each division in intramur- als. The divisions are social, dormi- tories, women, and independents. The intramural council, recommend- ed by the Student Services and Fees Committee, was scheduled to begin in the fall of 1978. Putting his Height behind it.

But athletic competition involves more than a final score, more than a winning or losing season. Frequenters of Fairfield Stadium were not necessarily mas- ochists because they watched the Thundering Herd compile a dismal 2-9 record. The women ' s softball team, in its first year, failed to win a single game. Yet the fiercest competitors are not always victorious. Ef- forts may not always be as evident as the final score. The cross country team brought Marshall its first Southern Conference championship. The swimming team emerged vic- torious with an SC title. The baseball team went to the NCAA finals in Florida. The basketball team surprised even many Herd supporters when it advanced to the final round of the SC championship before falling to Furman. Perhaps the agony and frustration were more evident on the basketball court in Roanoke because of the sport ' s status. But to team members of the minor sports, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat are just as intense. The sense of news judgment displayed by student journalists comprising The Parathenon ' s editorial staff was questioned throughout the year. News of the cross country team ' s SC championship was prominently displayed on page one. The swimming team ' s title was overshadowed by the basketball team ' s loss to West Vir- ginia University. Members of the bowling team, who advanced to national competition in Milwaukee, Wis., complained of inadequate coverage by the student newspaper. Members of the Green Gals and the debate team flooded The Parthenon ' s news room with letters of criticism concerning news judgment. The Parthenon is not alone. In the editorial decisions made by the Chief Justice staff, 12 pages have been allotted for basketball, four for football, and two for each of the other sports. Supposedly student interest is a major factor in such deci- sions of publications ' staffs; however, the policies may not be fair, particularly to participants in and followers of Marshall ' s minor sports. Financial support is also emphasized in the sports hiearchy. Complaints center around the fact that money is poured into a disastrous football program. Yet ticket receipts from Fairfield Stadium continue to play a significant role in the revenue for Marshall ' s sports programs. The establishment of an athletic hiearchy is supported by factors of student interest, community interest, financial sup- port, and news coverage. Football and basketball comprise the higher eschelon of Marshall ' s athletic community, despite whether the teams have winning or losing seasons. The athle- tic tyrants continue to overshadow the accomplishments of the other sports. The question remains - why? So close - but not close enough. Charlie Novak expresses frustration after the basketball team ' s loss to Furman in the Southern Conference championship. 184 Other Side Of Sports • vv - Vexation is evident in Coach Stu Aberdeen ' s ges- tures during the SC championship in Roanoke.

To those who have suffered through, and managed to survive, the process, registration lines are characterized nei- ther by motion nor by stable reference points. Registration is nothing but a les- son in futility. Time cards were replaced with an al- pha-beta system, in which registration times were established according to last name. Alpha and beta didn ' t eliminate the chaos but just changed the causes. Registrar Robert Eddins said the new procedure worked smoothly, and he said Marshall has plans to make regis- tration a continuous process. Pre-regis- tration continues to be the advice of administrative personnel and, more im- portantly, students who know. But for such reasons as procrastination, finan- cial instability, or being a newcomer, there are those unfortunate souls who encounter the registration hassle. Closed classes - almost always the frustration of almost-graduating sen- iors struggling through a 204-level lan- guage, canceled classes, overload slips . . . it ' s a part of registration language eventually replaced by profanity as the day wears on.

Cathy Curtis, receiving a degree in English and in Classics, said she decid- ed to try to achieve a better understand- ing of the Latin she has studied for the past four years. She applied for the ETA Sigma Phi summer scholarship to study in Rome. The scholarship involves six hours of credit toward a masters degree in clas- sics through the experience obtained while living in Rome. Cathy was selected, and she will be the first person from Marshall to go. I believe the most important part is that now I will get to see things firsthand. These are aspects of Roman life that I have studied for years, Cathy said. The summer experience is divided into lectures an d tours. There will be a final exam at the end of the six-week trip and, upon passing the exam, Cathy will receive six hours of credit. Cathy has studied Latin, Greek, Eng- lish, French, and German. She said she may study Italian while attending gra- duate school. This will be the first time I ' ve been away from home for any length of time, and I feel it will be good for me. I do expect to make a lot of friends over there. Cathy said she has been told the ho- tels are modest but clean. She said she worries about the water and how to change money. She hopes the exper- ience will fill in the gaps not covered by books. And so, when in Rome ... Seeing things firsthand will be the goal of Cathy Curtis when she goes to Rome to study Latin and ancient Roman culture.

The Collegium Musicum devoted itself to music for women ' s voices in the spring. The Collegium, under the direction of Dr. Bradford DeVos, associate pro- fessor of music, also presented several holiday concerts of Renaissance and Middle Ages Christmas music on cam- pus and for local organizations. Other vocal music organizations are the A Cappella Choir, the Symphonic Choir, the Choral Union, the Universi- ty Singers, and the Opera Workshop. More than 250 students, three full-time faculty members, and five graduate stu- dents participated in the six programs. For its annual tour, the Symphonic Choir performed concerts in schools and in churches in West Virginia, Ohio, and Michigan. The group also present- ed several programs on campus and sang for the commencement ceremony. The Choral Union followed its tradi- tion of presenting major choral compo- sitions with production of the Mes- siah by Handel and St. Paul by Mendelssohn. The A Cappella Choir, the general choir of the music department, present- ed two concerts on campus and joined the Choral Union in its concerts. The group also presented an informal out- side sing of light and popular music in May. The Opera Workshop undertook one of its most ambitious projects in recent years with Ruddigore by Gilbert and Sullivan. A comic operetta, Ruddi- gore was the first Gilbert and Sullivan piece performed at Marshall in recent years. The University Singers, directed by its founder. Dr. Wendell Kumlien, had an active year of singing and dancing to the various pop tunes of the ' 60s and ' 70s. Together with its back-up band, the Singers appeared at the Elkins Mountain Festival as well as in concerts in Washington, D.C. 194 Music Department V ik «kHi iH i ' t 1 1 1 ' -Hfl 1 Pi.- - ■ M - t t - __ __ w 4 ITi- • ' M HkK; 195 Music Department Concentration is the key for art students.

The play is based on Don Quixote, a novel by Mi- guel de Cervantes. The play begins when Cervantes, having returned from war, is thrown into jail. The other prisoners, having been told by Cervantes about his book, insist that Cervantes act out the role of Don Quixote. Cervantes ' servant plays the part of Sancho Panza, Don Quixote ' s peasant squire. The prisoners portray other characters in the novel. Cervantes ' novel presents an unfor- gettable description of the transforming powers of illusion and offers an insight into the fabric of 16th century Spanish society. The musical was co-directed by Dr. William Denman, associate professor of speech, and Dr. Michael Cerveris, pro- fessor of music. Rick Woods, Huntington junior, starred as Don Quixote. Michael Cupp, Huntington senior, played the part of Sancho Panza. The play was performed April 19-23 in Old Main Auditorium. 202 Man Of La Mancha 1st musical in 2 years costs $5200 The first musical in two years, Man of La Mancha cost S5200 to produce.

After all the theoretical lessons are over, perhaps the only way to insure that the necessary skills and talents have been compre- hended is to put the lessons to practice. Through student teaching this process of learning can be evaluated along with the students. Each student feels differently toward the semester of student teaching they are required to complete. For some it is a drudgery that must be endured along the path to finding a permanent job. For others, perhaps those meant to teach, the opportunity gives them the chance to test their own ability and de- sire to devote their lives to the teaching profession. Before beginning a semester of teaching at Barboursville High School, Sally Price said, I ' ve found that not everybody can be a teacher. You have to know your subject material well - it ' s very important, but most im portant is patience, tolerance, and a sense of hu- mor, and remembering not to take ev- erything you hear to heart. Sally was among the students who practiced teaching this spring. Ap- proximately 340 students were placed in schools in Wayne and Cabell coun- ties. Probably each felt a little differ- ently towards the requirement, and for sure, each one met with a different kind of success or failure. For many, this is the point in time when they decide that teaching is not really for them. Others remain as enthused as they have always been. The value of the experience can only be measured in the outcome of attitudes on both the students and the evaluators ' part. For Sally the semester was good. She finished by saying, The hardest thing I ' ve ever done in my life was to leave them. To be honest, I cried. You see, I ' ve taken 150 kids, watched them grow, learn and mature; and suddenly I felt as if they were all my own chil- dren. Expressions are a part of the game.

The medical laboratory technician curriculum at Marshall is a two-year program designed to prepare students to perform clinical laboratory tests un- der the supervision of a clinical pa- thologist or medical technologist. The medical technology curriculum leads to a B.S. degree in medical tech- nology. This prepares students for posi- tions as medical technologists in hospi- tals, clinics, and physician ' s offices. The fourth year is largely clinical, conducted by personnel at Cabell Hun- tington hospital. A maximum of 12 students is select- ed for each September class, and selec- tion is made on the basis of an interview with the medical technology admissions committee. Students enrolled in the cytotechno- logy program work in Cabell Hunting- ton Hospital, in cooperation with Mar- shall, during their senior year. Upon completion of the four-year curriculum the student is granted a bachelor of science degree in cytotech- nology, the medical field of identifying cells and cellular abnormalities.

George Brown, assistant state fire marshall, conducted a special inspec- tion of the chem.istry floor, the third floor in the Science Bulding. Complaints had been made concern- ing a lack of sufficient fire escape facili- ties. The chemical supply room was charged to be a fire trap, and students who worked in the supply room helped bring attention to the situation. The state fire marshal, Walter Smit- tle, after visiting on March 23. made several recommendations to improve the fire safety situation in the Science Building. Smittle said a sprinkler system and an improved fire-alarm system must be installed. Karl J. Egnatoff, vice president for the administration, said the improve- ments will be completed before the fall of 1978. He said S600,000 had been allotted for the improvements.

The school became a strong possibil- ity in 1972 when Congress passed the Veterans Administration Medical As- sistance and Health Training Act, pro- viding federal funding for the formation of up to eight new medical schools at state-supported universities in conjuc- tion with existing VA hospitals. Marshall was given approval by the Board of Regents in 1973 to apply for funding under this act. In June, 1974, the first letter of reasonable assurance was deferred by the Liaison Committee of Medical Education for the first of three times. AFTER THE THIRD DEFERRAL, Marshall officials appealed. On Jan. 22, 1976, Marshall received its letter of reasonable assurance of accreditation from the committee, which freed VA funding for hiring staff and buying equipment. A team from the committee toured the school of medicine at the Family Care Outpatient Clinic Oct. 11-12 to report on the considered provisional ac- creditation which would permit classes to begin. The provisional accreditation was received on Oct. 19. The school will not receive full ac- creditation until the first class gradu- ates, and the committee will review the school each year until then. The pro- gram will also face periodic review from the committee after it has been fully accredited. The first class enrollment was de- layed because of an absence of suffi- cient faculty and the need to more fully develop residency and research pro- grams. When enrollment was finished, how- ever, the first class contained 20 men and four women, ranging in age from 21 to 30 and including an ex-airline stewardess, a former Vietnam medic, a nurse and a U.S. Military Academy graduate. THE OPENING of the Marshall School of Medicine was celebrated with a special convocation Jan. 10 in the Huntington Civic Center. Addressing the students, faculty and an audience of about 2,000, National Veterans Affairs Administrator and tri- ple-amputee Max Cleland said the school of medicine is a pioneer effort to see that quality medical care can be delivered to the rural areas of this na- tion. Cleland urged the students to treat the patient first, and then the disease. Gov. Jay Rockefeller also addressed the convocation. Three supporters of the school were awarded honorary de- grees during the ceremony. The school started with $240,000 from the Department of Health, Edu- cation and Welfare, and later received a health professions grant for $39,500 from HEW. MARSHALL LATER received $3.8 million in appropriations as part of a supplementary appropriation bill ap- proved by the Senate. The funds are used to supplement the $5 million pre- viously set aside for the construction of a medical education facility on the grounds of the Huntington VA Hospi- tal on Spring Road. The VA commitment to the school is over $16 million, and additional funds are earmarked for the Huntington VA Hospital to prepare it for its role with the medical school. Extensive renovations to the Family Care Outpatient Clinic have turned it into a site for the med school offices, the Model Family Practice Center and classroom laboratory facilities. The Health Science Library was opened last spring in the Community College and has received approximately 700 journals, magazines and periodicals and has about 7,000 medical textbooks and monographs. The library is also linked to Medline, a computerized net- work of the National Library of Medi- cine. 214 SINCE JULY, 1975, more than $630,000 has been spent on medical, educational and office equipment. The Family Care Outpatient Clinic, home of the school of medicine, began undergoing renovations in April, 1977. In the first phase of the renovations the west wing was practically gutted to make way for student and faculty re- search laboratories, quarters for ani- mals used in research, three seminar rooms, a classroom, a conference room and faculty and administrative offices. The second phase of renovations will create a clinical area on the first fioor out of what was the kitchen. Funds for the renovations come from funds sup- plied by state grants and federal agen- cies. The Marshall School of Medicine re- ceived a check for $5,000 for cancer research from the Huntington Clinical Foundation. The project, directed by Dr. George H. Hill, medical school as- sistant dean for clinical affairs and chairman of the surgery department, is intended to study the effects of combi- nation treatments of therapy, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy on adult cancer pa- tients, with the goal of improving the results of current treatments. THE RESEARCH is carried out in conjunction with the Southeastern Can- cer Study Group of the University of Alabama, the National Cancer Insti- tute and the American Cancer Society. Sen. Mario J. Palumbo, D-Kanawah, proposed a merger of the state ' s three med schools, the Marshall School of Medicine, the West Virginia University School of Medicine, and the West Vir- ginia School of Osteopathic Medicine at Lewisburg. Palumbo said he was concerned that the cost of medical education might be- come the state ' s biggest financial prob- lem. The legislature ' s Joint Committee on Government and Finance rejected the proposal. As President Robert B. Hayes stated, Marshall ' s med school is funded federally, not by the state. 215 Medical School . r — J Explaining the process of offset priming to his graphics class.

Because of this it is difficu lt to assess the value of college to the individual. On the obvious side, there are the employment advantages coll- lege offers. Since time immemorial advertisements have boasted of the value of a college degree as well as the importance of support- ing the college of your choice. But does a college degree really guarantee a better job, a higher- paying job? Before 1969, college graduates had almost a sure prospect of finding a job, but that is no longer true. The earning gap between the average college graduate 25 and over and the non-graduate, depending on the source, indicates an advantage for the graduate of from 35 to six percent, as opposed to the 53 to 24 percent advantage held in 1969. The reasons give for the narrowing gap are a bad economy and an oversupply of graduates flooding the job market. The ' 70s saw the greatest increase ever in the number of graduates, and the job demand for graduates has not increased as fast. As a result, lifetime earnings have dropped from 11 percent over non-graduates in 1969 to seven percent in 1974. In the ' 80s the advantage of college graduates should rise again, because of the expected drop in attendance. For now, however, most or many blue collar workers earn more than most Ph.D. ' s, perhaps because of the strong unions of the bluecollar worker. As a rule, Ph.D. ' s have a reluctant and conser- vative attitude toward militant unionization. With the monetary value of college declining, the priorities of colleges will have to change. The college experience will have to be oriented more toward the realities of the working world, and the emphasis on the liberal arts will probably decline, as the present job market is more open to such occupations as engineering, law, medicine, busines s and accounting. While most look at college as primarily a means of economic and social advancement, it also serves as a vehicle for personal growth. 218 College Degree ADVANTA For many students college is the first break from home. For some, it is a welcome freedom from the constraints of the family. Class attendance is up to the individual, and there are precious few restrictions on an individual ' s hours and activities. Others find college to be an almost traumatic experience, as they are separated from their families and sent to an alien environment where they know few (if any) people and which operates under conditions unlike any other. No matter how the individual reacts to his new environment, it proves to be a vital step prior to entering the real, working world. Anyone that can cope with the trials of college is certainly pre- pared for the innate insanity of the real world. College can also be very instructive in terms of learning to cope and communicate with other people. The individual finds himself, in many cases, meeting a large number of people, many of which he has little in common. Those who live in the dorm find themselves embroiled in a most unique learning experience. For at least two years they must learn to live in a small room with another person, and even the best of friends may find their relationship strained under such circum- stances. And then there is the prospect many must face of sharing the bathroom with over a dozen neighbors, and many find that the lack of privacy in that most holy of rooms can, at times, be most disquieting. The worth of worthlessness of college can be argued intermina- bly, but the value of education to the individual cannot be denied. There are those who are simply not designed to go to college, others who fail to apply it properly, and others who are not given the opportunity. Whatever the case, education can be a very valuable thing, but it is something each individual must decide how far it is to be taken. 219 College Degree classes : : « - o o o o -a -o- -a -o -Q- -a notes D.

A late- night raid of the grounds of Hodges Hall by Laidley Hall residents resulted in the girl-watching benches being lodged in the trees. Raids were traded by residents of both halls, and before long, all the dormitories were involved in the conflict. A tradition of the 1950s, panty raids, was revived with a fervor not seen since the cows were let loose on Fifth Avenue four years ago. Falling underwear filled the skies for a week. But security eventually got into the act, arresting one student and put- ting a halt to the late-night pranks. li ' S - Pamela Munday Cindi Nutter Becky Osborne Suzie Parker Jane Peak Carol Rogers Joyce Schoolcraft Julia Schulte Kim Seymour Lois Shreve Patricia Shreve Amy Snow Sherri Snyder Sandy Spence Donna Steele Frank Stricklen Paul Stricklen Anita Suarcz Debbie Thompson Lois Thompson Dreama Toncy Jennifer Tucker Angela Waybright Vickie Webb Alan Williams Susan Williams Meika Williamson Beverly Woods 251 Freshmen ■JC ' ESSS35 ' m.: N X i Jf ■: ■i Ui o o o o -a -a -a -o- -o -O- -O- n. n. o o o o o TJ -Q- -Cr O -O- -O- -O- £l O o o o o notes 253 Alpha Chi Omega Front row: Beth Lynch (social chairman), Sandy Brown (third vice president).
