Mo matter how you look at it, the region is unique and special. From the musical lilt of a Southern accent to the relaxed atmo- sphere, the South is enriched by its history and traditions. Yet while natives of the re- gion keep a firm grasp on the the past, the future plays an ever-increasing role in the aggregate Southern lifestyle. This para- dox of past and future joined hand in hand to perpetuate the present is epitomized in the Volunteer State — Tennessee. 2 Opening Case- ¥ Of Tennessee • j gSB Mg l ■ - ' ♦■ i  4 From the quite solitude of the Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee to the bustling river traffic of Memphis in West Tennessee, the state is as unique as the region. The gently rolling plains of Middle Tennessee provide a buffer between the flatlands of the west and the hilly areas of the east, thus making Tennessee an arresting topic for geo- graphic study. Culturally, Tennessee is a paradox as well. World renowned as the home of country music and its birthplace, Nash- ville, the state is also home to a number of premier opera companies, ballet troupes and symphonies. Mountain crafts, each possessing the intimate feeling of the artisan who created it, are as equally admired as the examples of modern art and architecture crafted by the forward-thinking craftspeople of our state. This ecltecticism is further felt in such fields as politics, education, sports and literature. While East Tennessee is considered staunch Republican terri- tory, Middle Tennessee is just as firmly rooted in the Democratic Party. West Tennessee, on the other hand, seems to mix the best of the two political parties. In the field of education, the importance of agrarian issues is recognized along with the need for qualified persons in the field of aerospace technology or atomic energy research.

Steeped in history amid preparations for a productive fu- ture, the town is home to some 30,000 residents and 11,000 MTSG students. Located in the geographic center of Tennessee, Rutherford County (of which Murfressboro is the county seat) encompasses 612 square miles of rich and fertile farmlands, industrial sites and commercial and residential areas. One of the fastest growing areas in the state, it still offers the advantage of qui- et and comfortable small-town life. From historic Cannonsburgh to love- ly Oaklands Mansion, from the Stones River Battlefield to Walter Hill Reser- voir, from the City Cafe to Goldstein ' s, the town of Murfreesboro holds fondly remembered vignettes of college life for the thousands of MTSU alumni who at one time or another called Murfreesboro home. Opening 5 In The Opened in 1911 as Middle Tennessee State Normal School, a training ground for teachers, the Institution has grown from a campus of 100 acres, 125 stu- dents and a faculty of 19 to an aca- demic city of more than 500 acres, some 11,000 students and a faculty numbering almost 500. In more ways than one, MTS(J represents the peo- ple ' s university its planners envisioned more than 70 years ago. People — that is the most important ingredient of the University. They come from all across the nation with a com- mon purpose. That purpose? To gain an education from one of the South ' s lead- ing institutions of higher learning. While their mission here is somewhat clouded by the social implications of college life, MTSCI students nonetheless strive for academic prowess and future stability in our ever-changing society. Those individuals who people the Uni- versity may work toward one of some 22 graduate and undergraduate degrees offered. There are more than 25 depart- ments in the five schools of MTSCI. But life at MTSCI is not restricted to aca- demic pursuits. Social life plays an im- portant part in the overall education achieved here, with fraternities, sorori- ties and other campus organizations among the leaders in determining social events on campus. Sports and recrea- tion are equally important, with MTSCI teams recognized as among the nation ' s best. And because of the excellence of physical facilities, MTSCJ is an impor- tant stop on the itineraries of many big- name entertainers. In the middle of Middle there is a very good life. Middle M f 1 Opening 7 In The These are not the best of times. Infla- tion and unennploynnent are high, ener- gy sources are dangerously low, overpo- pulation threatens our very living space and even water is at a premium. These are not the worst of times. Per capital income in America is higher than ever, more people are working than ever before in our nation ' s history, and through conservation measures, our energy sources and water supplies are not yet at emergency levels. Despite the urge to become pessimis- tic, it seems that MTSG students, while recognizing the problems of the world, are striving to make the future better by utilizing the present to its fullest extent. This is possible by living each day to its fullest, thus making the future a more promising vision. 8 Opening Things Nature, ever-changing and ever-mys- terious, is all around us. Ideally situated in the middle of the state, the Universi- ty ' s home, Murfreesboro, is a lovely place with a myriad of sites to explore and enjoy. The University itself, with its beauti ful campus (which, according to some, is the loveliest in the state), offers its students and townspeople a pleasant respite from the trauma of the hustling. bustling world. But it is the quality of the people at MTStJ which helps to make these the best of times. While it would seem, at times, that nothing in the world is going right, a walk across campus would dis- pel that belief. The friendly smiles on the faces of MTSCl students, their eager- ness to share a happy greeting and their genuine concern for the welfare of their fellow man is evidence enough that these are very good times of which we are a part. To be in the middle of things at Mid- dle means to be a part of the constantly changing thing we call life. Each day is a bit different from the one before it and unlike the ones which will follow. Life at MTSU is rewarding, enriching and stim- ulating. And it is a life which holds great promise for the future. Opening 9 r Jewel Cove Rue v-i Cave xj HAAPrm (WER Monrgomery Del Srore - 70 ' NASyyiLLE] IN THE MHIDIDLE OF STODENT LIFE W. ' - 12 Student Life Ask the average MTSU student why he decided to come here, and chances are he ' d say. Because it ' s close to home or It ' s far enough away from my parents. ' That seems to be the consensus. Peo- ple either come to get away from the confines of home or else they need the security of knowing Mom and Dad are nearby when the rigors of college life get to be too much. The CJnIversitys location in the states geographic center makes it a prime candidate when it comes time to choose a college. Although the majority of students come from the Rutherford Davidson-Williamson counties area, nearly every other county in the state is represented, as are most states and many foreign countries. Should you ask that same student what he likes best about MTSU, he ' s likely to answer: the people. The people here are traditionally Southern, even if they are natives of some other region, friendly, warm and eager to embrace new ideas and thoughts. Although the tone of the campus is genuinely conservative, there is ample room for independent thought. Of course, you can ' t say MTSCJ is a hotbed of liberal opinion, but varying opinions are abundant. Student Life 13 14 Student Life Student Life 15 Despite claims that there is nothing to do on campus, one need look no fur- ther than across the hall, the sidewalk or the street to find something interest- ing to do at MTSCl. Free entertainment is frequent, movies at a greatly reduced rate are offered daily and Blue Raider sports squads thrill fans with their athle- tic exploits. Concerts ranging from Jackson Browne to Kenny Rogers, Ste- phen DeGroote to Eugene Fodor, Gilda Cruz-Roma to Barry Manilow are but a few examples of the wide variety of en- tertainment offerings at MTSCI. Organizations tailored to suit the indi- vidual tastes of the 11,000 MTSU stu- dents are a vital part of the (Jniversity community. Fourteen national fraterni- ties, seven national sororities and more than 100 special interest groups offer students ample opportunities to assert their individuality by being a member of a group. The work study program offered by MTSCI has also become an integral part in the lives of many students. This pro- gram enables students to work in their field of study, while at the same time providing experience as an insight into the outside working world. 16 Student Life The life of the student on campus does not lend itself to that of acquiring that most need- ed element, sleep. The freshman on campus is usually seen as ' brighteyed and bushy tailed. But, never fear, that may be the first and last year of meeting the required hours of slumber. By the time the student has arrived at his fourth and final year, he subsists on two hours of interrupted sleep. Student Life 17 mid the current Western fad and Urban wboy frenzy, MTSG celebrated its 45th lual homecoming week, October 20-25, h something for everyone activities itered on A Down Home Good Time ;me. nd a logical choice for a theme it was. ' SG ' s close proximity to Nashville, the thplace of country music, and its history eped in Southern tradition made this ar ' s celebration one of the most success- in the 45year history. Students and alum- participated in record numbers in events iging from a fight song competition to tivities day. from a poster contest to a her soggy Friday-night pep rally. Starting off with a fight song competition, mecoming revelers competed for top hon- by singing Blue Raiders Ride!, the offi- cial MTSU fight song. Eight groups compet- ed, with Chi Omega Sorority taking first place in the women ' s chorus division; Sigma Phi Epsilon in men ' s chorus; and Sigma Al- pha Epsilon and Alpha Delta Pi ' s combined effort took the award in mixed chorus. Spirit reached a near-fever pitch Wednes- day afternoon when almost 30 campus orga- nizations took part in Activities Day. Com- peting in three categories — fraternity, so- rority and open — participants showed their skills in the keg run-around, tobacco spit- ting. Jell-o slurp and four-legged race. It may sound like simple fun and games, but when it comes time to compete for the homecoming spirit trophy, the fun and games are usually forgotten and are re- placed by serious work! Circling a beer keg at breakneck speed, against a clock that doesn ' t lie, is not exactly simple. More than once, contestants suffered from falls, their equilibrium shot to hell by the running. The folks down on the farm may find it easy to spit long, accurate streams of tobac- co juice, but they have, after all, had more practice than the average MTSU student. But regardless of their amount of practice, representatives of the campus groups found that distance was the determining factor as they competed for top honors in the tobacco spitting contest. Imagine yourself kneeling before a table, your hands tied behind you and being forced to slurp a dish filled with wiggly, jiggly food service Jell-o. Heavy S M? Perhaps, but that ' s exactly what was required of partici- pants in the Jell-o slurp. Homecoming 19 20 Homecoming After a torrential downpour of rain which lut a damper on Friday night ' s pep rally and coming too late to ease the drought in ' urfreesboro which led to the cancellation if the bonfire on Thursday night), Saturday lawned cold and windy as the big day got inder way. The homecoming parade, featur- ng more than 65 units including some 15 loats, made its way down the traditional )arade route of Tennessee Boulevard and ain Street to the town square. Led by ■ITStl ' s Band of Blue, the parade was ' iewed by thousands of loc l residents, stu- lents and alumni who lined the parade oute. The warm autumnal shades of the eason were at their most vivid as the threat- ening skies of early morning cleared. Taking top honors in the float competition were Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Delta Pi for their imaginative entry, which featured a mountain cabin and a winding creek (with eager beavers on the creekbank). Second place went to the entry from Kappa Alpha and Kappa Delta. The float featured a motorized model of an MTSU stu- dent fishing beneath a vibrant green apple tree dotted with bright red fruit. Sigma Chi fraternity took third place with their mountain-top cabin and working still with the theme Nuttin ' Goodr ' n a Swig a ' victory! Instead of using the usual tissue paper stuffing for their float, the Sigma Chi ' s chose to use real down-home hay for their float. Other groups represented by floats in the parade were Sigma Phi Epsilon. Delta Tau Delta. Pi Kappa Alpha, Gamma Beta Phi, Kappa Delta Pi. Student United Nations. Al- pha Tau Omega. Wesley Foundation. Kappa Sigma. Chi Omega, and several others. President Sam Ingram made his was down the parade route as the passenger of Mrs. Pauline Blankenship in her pony cart. Mrs. Blankenship and her husband. John, who played host to MTSG First Lady Betty In gram, continued their longtime tradition of participation in the homecoming parade. Fourth District Congressman Al Gore Jr., Rutherford County Executive Ben Hall McFarlin, and National Alumni Association President Charlie Holt, were among the other dignitaries who were featured in the parade. Homecoming 21 By the time pre-game ceremonies began Saturday afterncwn, the sky was virtually free of clouds, with only a few wisps of white dotting the blue horizon. The gorgeous blue skies provided an ap- propriate backdrop for meml ers of the sky- diving team from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, who were back for their second straight homecoming game appearance. Bearing the football to be used for the game, the para- chudists, five in number, fell earthward while a capacity crowd in Johnny Red Floyd Stadium watched in awe. MTSCJ alumni, students, faculty and friends had packed the stands in hopes of seeing the Blue Raiders win their first ball game of the football season. The foe was the Governors of Austin Peay-the team that sec- ond-year MTSa head coach Boots Donnelly feat handed the rebuilding MTSU squad thus far in the campaign and by far the best display of the young Raider defense, had led to the OVC championship before coming back to his alma mater. Touted to be an offensive powerhouse, the Governors never really opened their guns against MTSG but did manage to disap- point the Raider fans with a 7-3 victory. The game was definitely a thriller — the closest At the game ' s midpoint, the MTSG de- fense had shut Peay down to 90 yards rush- ing and 34 yards passing, and Peay quarter- back Defilippis had only one completion out of nine attempts. But even though Middle Tennessee ' s de- fense was giving Defilippis a rough way to go. Blue Raider quarterback Brown Sanford found himself with little or no protection, getting himself pounded without throwing the ball on numerous occasions. One such Austin Peay quarterback sack ended MTSU ' s last-minute chance to notch its first win. MTSU tackle Earl Brown recovered a miraculous fumble for the Blue Raiders with six minutes l eft in the game. Sanford, however, was immediately tackled for a nine-yard loss before throwing two imcomplete passes. On the fourth down, the MTSCJ quarterback was sacked again at the Austin Peay 35-yard line. The three senior MTSG players, Robinson, Larry Miller, and Kolas Elion, were not the only ones who left the stadium extremely disappointed. Besides the 1980 version of the Blue Raider squad, several thousand fans left with the feeling of, We lost, but we almost won — at least it was close. 22 Homecoming ' s - Homecoming 23 24 Homecoming Traditional halftime festivities remained virtually unchanged this year as a court of five young women anxiously awaited the naming of the homecoming queen. Selected from a field of 49 contestants (including a strong candidate from the campus chapter of the American Advertising Federation — Ms. Piggy), the five members of the court were chosen during elections held on Mon- day and Tuesday of the celebration week. Representing Pi Kappa Alpha ' s Pledge Class on the court was Jo Ellen Drennon, a freshman from Lebanon. Jenny Cantrell, a freshman from Nashville, represented Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Junior Priscilla Corn, from Winchester, was the representa- tive of Alpha Kappa Psi, a business fraterni ty. Carrying the banner of Gamma Beta Phi was Mona Evan, a sophomore from Jack- Jeanni Stalcup, a senior from Gatlinburg, represented Kappa Sigma fraternity. Crowned by 1979 ' s queen, Melanie Griffin from Chattanooga, this year ' s queen was Mona Evans. It was the second straight year that Gamma Beta Phi ' s contestant had won the title. The Band of Blue provided the musical background as the members of the court were presented, playing appropriately Southern, downhome composition, includ- ing Tennessee Waltz and Tara ' s Theme from Gone With the Wind. Winners in the overall spirit award compe- tition were announced following the third quarter of gridiron action. In the fraternity category, Kappa Alpha took home the huge six-foot spirit award, which will be rotated in the coming years. Sigma Chi took second place, while Sigma Apha Epsilon claimed Kappa Delta sorority claimed top honors in the sorority division, followed by Alpha Delta Pi in second place and Chi Omega in third place. Winners in the open division were the men of H-Hall. In a tie for second place were Felder Hall (winners in the dorm decoration competition) and Smith Hall. Kappa Delta Pi, an education honorary, took third place. The seemingly smooth halftime produc- tion, which featured an ROTC honor guard in addition to the Band of Blue, belied the ' diligent and sometimes frenzied efforts of the homecoming committee. Members of the committee, under the direction of Jeff Ellis, a senior from Bethel Springs, began work on the celebration in May in order to carry off the entire week-long production. Homecoming 25 ' v... y Illumination And Radiance: Kenny Rogers ' Style Homecoming Celebration 1980 came to an exciting end with a concert by one of the biggest names in the world of enter- tainment. Exemplifying the term cross-over art- ist, superstar entertainer Kenny Rogers brought his electrifying stage show to MTSCJ to perform before a capacity crowd in Murphy Center. Amid ecstatic fans, popping flashbulbs and intermittent gifts of long-stemmed roses from his ad- mirers, Rogers, singing hit song after hit song, gave a legendary performance that included opening acts by both Dave and Sugar and Dottie West. One of the hottest country trios around, Dave and Sugar began their por- tion of the concert with energetic vitality and exuberance, performing their hits from the past five or six years. Dressed in tight white jeans and beige cowboy boots, Dave Rowland was joined in the opening number, Queen of the Silver Dollar, by his two female partners gussied up in snug outfits of shimmering silver and white. The audience, although ready for Rog- ers to make his appearance, soon took Dave and Sugar ' s performance to its col- lective heart, applauding and screaming wildly as the trio sang from their reper- toire of hits, including The Door is Al- ways Open and Crystal Chandelier. Durinq their rendition of Good-hearted Woman, the three professionals tempo- rarily borrowed cowboy hats from three members of the audience and walked off the stage into the crowd to meet their fans. Several female followers received kiss- es from Dave, to the enjoyment of the frenzied crowd. When the foot-stomping show came to a close, Dave and Sugar left the stage in a flurry that left everyone breathlessly wanting more. Dottie West, the venerable country music entertainer, gave the audience what they wanted. Being one who has seen others come and go throughout the years in the cut-throat world of show busi- ness, Dottie proved that she was in step with the ' 80s. Appearing in a deep purple outfit embossed with the same color se- quins and wearing matching cowboy boots, she opened her show with Chica- go ' s hit song, entitled I ' m Alive. It ' s Dottie, not Dolly, West reminded the audience after her first number, in reference to another music superstar. I know she ' s bigger than me ... I think she ' s 5 ' 10 ... lying down. Yellow lighting effectively accentuated her hit ' Country Sunshine, which was followed by You Pick Me Up, Honey, Just to Put Me Down and Fool-hearted Man. The audience, which included all 10 of venny Rogers West ' s siblings, applauded thunderously during her rendition of Why Don ' t You Stay, and they went insanely wild while West and her Wild West Band energetical- ly performed the fiddle-playing tune, the Orange Blossom Special. By the finale of West ' s electrifying show, which included Anne Murray ' s hit song You Needed Me, dedicated to Murray herself, and a medley of Dixie and Glory Hallelujah, the homecom- ing concert audience had gotten their whistles wet and was roaring with the anticipation of who was yet to come. Dressed in a typical three-piece suit, Kenny Rogers may have looked like an average middle-class businessman, but when he walked onto the stage and be- gan to sing, it was clear that he was anything but. He was greeted by a standing ovation from the crowd and a staccato of popping flashbulbs. Swarmed by women groping for a handshake from the superstar and try- ing to snap a close-up picture, Rogers quickly took command of the near riot- ous group, singing She ' s a Mystery to Me. After this opening number, he apologetically explained to the fans who had gathered at his feet why he did not respond to the gestures, I happen to think it is unfair to shake some people ' s hands and not others. But he added jokingly, However, I will take money, During his next few numbers, Love or Something Like It and Love the World Away, Rogers was still followed religiously by women wanting just to touch his clothing. Although he contin- ued to ignore the handshake hopefuls, the former member of The First Edition did accept loving gifts of long-stemmed roses from three of his more ardent fans. After singing Reuben James, he tenderly thanked the three women, say- ing that he would take them home to his wife, implying impishly that he bought them for her himself. I haven ' t had to buy her roses in three years, Rogers said mischievously. I love it. Dottie West joined Rogers back on stage for All I Ever Meed Is You and the Kim Carnes-Rogers duet, Don ' t Fall In Love With a Dreamer, ending the number in a symbolic hug of comara- derie. Rogers ended his show with Lu- cille, in which he invited the audience to sing along on the chorus, which gave him another standing ovation. The encore left the audience begging for more, but the flourish and verve of the Rogers concert left them satisfied. Kenny Rogers 29 Barry Manilow: Writer, Singer, Musician Everyone said only people over the age of thirty would be there. Boy, were they wrong! The age span of the people at Barry Manilow ' s October 11 concert ranged from nine to sixty-nine. Barry Manilow proved his versatility in rivet- ing his audience ' s attention to his on- stage performance. After a thirty-minute wait, the crowd was anxious and excited. When Barry finally came on stage, one could feel excitement brewing ail over Murphy Center, His opening song, Somewhere in the Night, captured the essence of his style. The performance of the open- ing song thrilled the hearts of the crowd and made the late start worth the wait. The first half of the concert intro- duced some of his new songs which are soon to be released. As the introduction to Ships, Manilow told the crowd that the song is about his father. As he fin- ished this sentimental song, there were few dry eyes in the audience. Following the intermission, Manilow came back on stage attired in a Mexican Chiquita Banana jacket. At this point, shocked though they were, the crowd witnessed the beginning of Manilow ' s version of I Left My Heart in San Fran- cisco. Manilow asked the crowd, Isn ' t that the song you were expecting? To this he received, Mo, we want ' Copaca- bana ' ! At that, Manilow fulfilled the desires of his audience and proceeded to Copacabana. He then followed with more of his past hits and a medley of his commer- cial jingles. One of the new songs he performed, Wouldn ' t It Be Sad Being Lonely All Alone, was a smash hit with the audience. Manilow said that he was surprised and pleased at the crowd ' s response to the new songs. At the finish of the show, the crowd yelled for more. Manilow returned on stage and sang three encores. For one of his encores. entitled One Voice, he was assisted by the thirty-voice youth choir from the West End United Methodist Church. An exciting event of the concert oc- curred after the concert when a large crowd gathered outside of Murphy Cen- ter to get a glimpse of Barry Manilow. The campus police tried to keep the screaming crowd away from Manilow ' s limousine, but it was an impossible task. When the police finally got the crowd pushed back, Larry Gatlin walked out and the crowd ' s frenzy be- came chaos. Finally Barry Manilow emerged and got in his limousine and drove through the lane which the police had cleared. As his car drove by, Mani- low waved at the screaming and push- ing crowd. Girls were arguing over whether Barry Manilow had waved at them or at their friend. This is an exam- ple of the type of enthusiasm which Barry Manilow generated. No Boos For Jackson Browne Somewhere in the vicinity of eight years ago, Jackson Browne made his appearance at MTSCI as backup to the James Gang, only to be booed off the stage. If Jackson Browne could have only wit- nessed the long line of ticket purchasers on August 21, 1980, he would have had little doubt of the increase of his popularity since that unforeseen day some eight years ago when students began to set up camp at MTSU ' s Murphy Center the night before tickets were to go on sale. By 9:00 that Thursday morning, the formation of the line of students awaiting their tickets was well underway. Passing the time seemed to be the main consideration of the students at that point. Onlookers witnessed card games, readers involved in novels, ice chests filled with drinks and munchies, and Frisbee throwing (in which onlooker and purchaser alike had the never-ending battle of staying out of the line of fire). As the hours passed, the line continued to grow. To those who had been there since the night before or who had come in the early morning hours, the hour of ticket sales, 6:00, seemed far away. After wearisome hours of cards and Frisbee, students began to take solace in socializing with the later arrivals. As the much anticipated hour neared, later arrivals were forming the line down Murphy Center ' s steps. Jackson Browne need have no fear, his concert could prove no less that successful with the interest be Ing shown in obtaining tickets. Finally, the hour arrived. As each tired and weary face took its place in front of the ticket window, it was transformed into an ecstatic face that walked away with tickets in hand. The many hours, that seemed like days, of waiting had ended and anticipation of awaiting tickets was replaced with that of awaiting the concert. Anxiousness and excitement hung heav- ily in the air in Murphy Center on the night of September 10, 1980. As the lights dimmed and the much-awaited performance was about to transcend, the appearance of Jackson Browne on stage prompted enough claps, cheers and whistles that could have brought the roof down. As the noise of the welcome subsided, J.B. smiled and thanked the crowd for a more cordial reception than that he had received years ago. His light hearted reference showed no signs of con- tempt, only that of one having been chalked up to experience. Beginning with Rock Me On the Water and going on to Here Come Those Tears Again, That Girl Could Sing and You Love the Thunder, Jackson Browne touched the entire audience. His style is unique and the privilege of witnessing J.B. in concert was felt by all. Next, Cocaine brought a thunder of claps and the audience enjoyed participation. The crowd applauded as the floating screen emerged portraying scenes from ghettos to faces of politicians. Flashes went wild as the projections changed from one to another. Finally, the screen was withdrawn, only to return later in the concert. As J.B. reappeared, the speakers blasted with Disco Apocalypse, Hold Out and Boulevard. Then came the old favorites, Doctor My Eyes, Running On Empty, and Pretender, which were greatly en- joyed by all. As the concert came to an end and J.B. and his band began to depart, the matches and lighters flared up around the entire center. Whistles, clapping and foot stomping gave Jackson Browne more than enough incentive to return for an encore. He and the band emerged from the recesses of the stage and gave the audience S-T-A-Y. But as this ended, the audience still demand- ed more. At this point, he came back with Dance Sweet Little Sixteen and the crowd went wild, rocking and rolling to the beat. At the conclusion, Jackson Browne gave his sincere thanks for the enthusiasm shown by all and left the stage. Cries of more still echoed throughout, but the coming pres- ence of the overhead lights meant the end. The concert had proved to be much more than just successful, it had been exhilarating and every bit worth the wait. Jackson Browne proved more than just an excellent musician. He had felt the mood of and had b)een totally involved in his audience. He had mirrored the crowd ' s appreciation of him. So true seemed to the comment of Mr. Harold Smith, in charge of MTSO ' s entertainment, he ' s just like you and me, only he sings a little better. Commentary by Sarie Doty-Hamlin Jackson Browne 33 1 mnKiK ' - ' ' ' ' . :ii ' .„-„,NG HOME « ' wpt - ' ' ' % ' BY JEFFREY ELLI Embedded in the changes which have tal en place during the past decade are those affecting the world of fashion. And no place ha ve those changes been felt more abruptly, or with more speed, than on college campuses. College campuses — those microcosms of society where all things happen at one time or another — it was here that fashion found both form and function and people decided that dressing up is much more fun that dressing down. Dressing up includes a return to the classics — preppy dressing. Preppy and all its accompanying hoopla seemed to arrive on campus full form. And well it should have. Preppy dressing has evolved over the years from the look of the ' 30s, ' 40s, and ' 50s to the modern look with vibrant dashes of color and inventive new fabrics. Oxford cloth shirts with button-down collars, chi- nos, argyle plaids, Weejuns and Topsiders are consid- ered de rigueur for the well-dressed members of the prep set. Although oxford cloth is still available in the conse rvative colors of blue, white, pink, maize and ecru, you can also spot it in maroon, true red, char- treuse or electric pink. Topsiders are no longer limited to the traditional brown, but can now h e found in a rainbow of colors. . ] A ' i. ' Sweaters continue to be an integral part of the fashionable student ' s wardrobe. And the choices are abundant and widely varied to suit the individual wearer. Just a quick glance at the sweater counters in finer de- partnnent stores will bear out the idea that sweatering is a wardrobe essential. Sweat- er fabrics can range from wool to 100 per- cent cotton to cashmere — once virtually unaffordable by college students, but now so reasonably priced that anyone can make a timeless sweater investment. The ever-present chinos are without doubt the most popular choice for slacks. They are almost always straight-legged and only slightly tailored. Navy blue is a favorite, and preppys are quite fond of any- thing in a pastel shade. For the more fash- ion-conscious, tweed and wool are impor- tant fabrics in pants. They are generally better tailored and offer a more high-fash- ion ambience to the wearer. Perhaps therein lies the difference in preppy and high fashion dressing. Preppy is decidedly androgynous — that is, men ' s and women ' s clothes are almost the same. In high fashion, there is no question that menswear is meant to be worn by men and women ' s wear to be worn by women. Menswear is cut on modified European lines, taking into account the overall beef- ier American build and the American pen- chant for action. Women ' s wear is sleeker, sexier and much more attractive. Being well dressed is much easier than be- ing fashionable, unless you learn how to take chances. When you look in your closet to choose a particular ensemble you ' re plan- ning to wear, don ' t automatically go for something you ' ve worn before. Instead, be a little wild and use your imagina- tion. Very often you ' ll find that taking chances with your wardrobe will re- sult in a barrage of compliments from an admiring audience!

Dressing Up Requires Attention To Detail, Design Marching TO The peat Of The r lTSl ' pand Of Blue plays on own An pru 00 ttitoer The day is clear, crisp and cold. There is a tinge of excitement in the air. On the field, the football team is trying valiantly to stay another scoring attempt by the opposition. Luckily, time runs out. The score remains unchanged, with the Blue Raiders on the short end. But for some reason the crowd seems happy, antici- pating something good, something very good. Then the tap, tap, tap of a drumstick against metal begins. Eagerly, the crowd looks across the field to the visitors ' sidelines. The more than 130 members of MTSCI ' s Band of Blue are beginning to step onto the field for another exhilarating halftime performance. Accompanied by the 32 members of the flag and rifle corps, the band ' s musicians are greeted with hearty applause as they begin a program which in- cludes among other tunes Come In From the Rain, the Melissa Manchester-Carol Bayer Sager composi- tion. Any song about rain seems especially apropos for a marching band. Expected to perform regardless of the weather, marching bands are much like postmen: nei- ther rain, nor sleet, nor snow will stay them from their rounds. Don ' t expect them to march behind horses in a parade, however, because there are certain limits that even dedicated bandspeople must follow. Members of the current edition of the Band of Blue follow in the footsteps of thousands of other musi- cians who have worn the University ' s blue uniform. Founded in the earlier part of this century, the Band of Blue has undergone major changes during its history, but perhaps no one person has had more effect on the band than jts current director, Joseph T. Smith. First as a student and now as nnentor to the band ' s 130 members, Smith has a long-standing tradition of excellence in both marching and con- cert band performance. He is recognized through- out the nation as one of the most innovative and imaginative persons in the field of band direction. The members of the Band of Blue are not the only ones who have felt the Smith influence. For the past 19 years, the Contest of Champions, regarded as the premier marching band competi- tion in the South, has attracted musicians, direc- tors and band enthusiasts to MTSG for a day-long competition where, according to A.R. Casavant, the marching band theorist with a national per- spective, they play ' King of the Hill ' for keeps. Casavant and many others consider the contest a laboratory for bands across the nation. In addition to the competing bands from Indiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee, representatives from numerous other states attend the contest for a state of the art look at marching bands. Linda Mitchell, assistant director of the band, is an invaluable aide-de-camp to Smith. Drum ma- jors Terri Sloan and Cammi Bouvin lead the musi- cians on the field. When working with someone of Smith ' s cali- ber, approval is all the musicians need.

DeGroote, the first performer in the series, was the grand prize winner in the fifth Van Cliburn Competition. It was during his November 30 per- formance that a major concert artist first played the new Bosendorfer Im- perial Grand Piano. The piano, with its added bass octave, was the instru- ment DeGroote chose to play during his March. 1979, Washington concert in Kennedy Center. The sheer magic of the imposing instrument is evident the moment one enters the hall. Imposing and ele- gant, it is a premier concert instru- ment crafted in Vienna, Austria. The only one of its kind in Tennessee, the Bosendorfer Grand is more than nine feet long Ik DMpns fumofs to tiM contivyt Mu firwsboro is fairiy a hotbed of social ac- tlvtty afta- the sun goes down.

Will Dr. Williams force Deborah to have sex in order to pass English 311? Will Bob tell Monica the truth about his relationship with Derek? Will Sheila have the abortion? Will David be busted for possession of marijuana? Sure enough, here in the middle of everything (not excluding the KKK and the bibletoting hellfire and brimstone preachers of the moral set), there is enough sin and depravity to put Harold Robbins to shame. And it ' s so much fun! Just listen to this typical scenario from an episode of The Secrets of Midlander Heights : Kathy, well-known member of one of the most select sororities on campus, is torn between Rick, a handsome fra- ternity boy, and Steve, a non fraternity member with a big bulge. Will Kathy go for the money, or the cheap, tawdry sex that Steve might offer? Kathy is a nymphomaniac who loves to shop at The Village Square. See the problem? With Rick, she can continue to buy all the P.J. Walsh dresses she can stand. but with Steve she ' ll have a steady supply of you know what. Deborah, a junior from a small town in east Tennessee, will graduate next year-the only member of her large fam- ily to do so. That is, she may graduate provided she passes English 311-The Lives and Loves of William Shake- speare. She is at best a marginal stu- dent, but she knows there is one way to get an A in the class. She must sleep with Dr. Williams, her professor. Actu- ally, if sleeping was all it was to the matter, she ' d have no problem, if you know what I mean. Will she or won ' t she? Bob, a senior, has been dating Moni- ca for almost four months. She thinks he is a perfect gentleman because, un- like the other guys at State (J., he ' s never tried anything with her. What she doesn ' t realize is that he is not interested in sex with her. He gets enough of that with Derek, whom he has been dating for six months. Will Monica throw up when she learns the truth? Or will she offer to try a three- way scene? Sheila, a sophomore, forgot to take her pills regularaly and now finds her- self in a serious quandary: Should she have an abortion or give birth to the baby she ' s carrying? Trouble is, she ' s not sure who the father is and she ' s certain her parents would just die if she gives birth to a white man ' s baby. Will she throw caution to the wind and her feet into the stirrups and have an abor- tion? David, a freshman, didn ' t realize that he could be arrested for carrying around a couple of pounds of grass, Hell, he didn ' t know that a bag of crab- grass and alfalfa could get you five to ten in state prison. What the nimrod failed to realize is that it ' s not a bag of crabgrass in his glove compartment, but . . . marijuana! Is this true? Well, yes and no. The names have been changed to protect the guilty. The situations have been changed to protect the unconcerned bystander. Quick-Who dresses in blue, is usually smiling and knows more about MTS(J than the average student (and some- times faculty)? Answer-the Student Ambassadors, a group of students who act as the univer- sity ' s official hosts and hostesses. 1978 was the first time I had sole responsibility for the group, Dorothy Harrison, director of public relations, said. The Student Ambassador pro- gram wasn ' t very active before. Several members had volunteered their time and were really enthusiastic about work- ing, and then were never called upon. It was pretty frustrating. The group numbers 30 presently, a number Harrison thinks is ideal to fill the need. Anyone who wants to be a students ambassador must have a 2.5 average and have been at MTSCI for at least one semester. Applications are screened and applicants are interviewed by the executive council of the student ambassadors. They are then approved by President Ingram, Harrison ex- plained. Being a student ambassador, Harri- son continued, requires a lot of work. They must be articulate and enthusias- tic. It ' s good if they have other involve- ments on campus, too. The student ambassadors currently are collaborating on a small traveling show to take to area schools and var- ious organization ' s meetings. We have so many talented student, Harrison said. We have several talent groups that visit the larger schools around here, such as the jazz band, but we don ' t have anything for the smaller schools. That ' s where Student Ambassadors on Tour come into the picture. Several students, including some who are not ambassadors, take part in the perfor- mance which has been met with ac- claim by adoring audiences throughout the region. Workshops for ambassadors are held during summer, prior to the start of a new academic year. They learn how to conduct brief campus tours, the an- swers to the most asked questions about the University, the most outstand- ing buildings on campus and their im- portant features, information about housing and meal tickets and how to deal with frustrated parents during reg- istration. In addition, student ambassadors speak at alumni meetings, register peo- ple for continuing education seminars, staff information booths on campus dur- ing registration, work in the President ' s box and Press box during home football games and serve in a variety of other public relations capacities. The students who serve as ambassa- dors are members of many fields of en- deavors. Student Ambassadors Who would believe that a northerner, a northerner from New York at that, could be seen sitting down to a meal of beef stew, apple salad and cornbread! Peter Jenkins, the man who walked across America not only sat down but heartily enjoyed these victuals associat- ed with fine Southern living. Someone of Peter Jenkins ' caliber would surely be thought to take lodging in one of Murfreesboro ' s finest inns, upon arriving for his scheduled appear- ance at MTSU on November 19, 1980. This, however, was not the case. A man who had literally walked across Amer- ica, had lived with a black family enor- mously wealthy in their warmth and sharing, and a man who shared a moun- tain shanty with an aged hermit, desired lodgings that maintained a family atmo- sphere. This sought condition was found at the home of Cliff and Gayle Gillespie, the former being MTSG ' s Dean of Admissions. Peter Jenkins, public yet private; cou- rageous yet humble. His walk across America was in no way an endeavor undertaken with the pride of becoming a renown figure. Peter Jenkins ' only thought was to see America; know America in her vast expanse of unique- ness and splendor; this journey desired solely as a reaffirmation of our country as America, the beautiful. Peter Jenkins ' fine oration was deliv- ered in MTSG ' s LRC that Wednesday evening. The musical recording which accompanied his slides yielded to the viewers senses the essence of the dra- maticly climactic sunset over a moun- tain to the demure softness of morning dewdrops on the petal of a flower. (Jpon the cessation of the slide pre- sentation, Peter Jenkins proceeded to relate to the audience his accounts of various and sundry experiences in- curred through his walk. Such occur- rances included that of shoveling ma- nure in Orville, Alabama, to devouring the meat of an alligator. Peter Jenkins, the man who surely must have seen and done it all through his travels, will not be soon forgotten by the many who had the utmost priviledge of meeting him here at MTSG. Before departing from Murfreesboro, Peter Jenkins was again bestowed with that good ' ole Southern hospitality and enjoyed with the Gillespie ' s a Southern breakfast befitting to the Old South tra- dition. The sequal to Walk Across America will be out in Fall of 1981 and we will shortly have the pleasure of viewing a mini-series which encompasses Peter Jenkins ' travels, aired by CBS. Peter Jenkins. A man of illustrious repute. A man to be modeled by all. ii A Walk Across America Whites in hot, permapress in warm, darks in cold. So the white pullover with red stripes goes with whites. Or does it? How many male co-eds would own up to being clad in pink undies ? For all you men out there, who for the first time realize that there is more to the drudgery of clothes washing than throwing them in the bin for mama, take the guess work out of it. The manufacturers have gone to great pains for the sole purpose of aid- ing the first-timers. A full set of wash- ing instructions has been provided and, believe it or not guys, is as easy to follow as A-B-C. This purposeful tag may be sewn in one of many places inside the garment and should be less than difficult to locate. If, however, you are one of the many who rip these tags from their site upon the first-time wear- ing of an item, you may be faced with a dilemma. Now wouldn ' t it be a bit simpler to leave this instructive tag in- tact than to carry a horde of them down to the laundry room and, in desperation, try to decide on what goes with what? The art of clothes washing. How sweet it is! Now let us take a look at some laun- dry no-no ' s . Upon entering the laun- dry area we meet Steve Stuffer. The name of the game is to see how many clothes can be crammed into one very small tub. Now guys, you know that by stuffing too many clothes into too small of a space lends less cleanliness to your wash. The clothes will not get sufficient- ly wet much less be able to agitate. So, Steve , let ' s cool it on the stuffing. Surely, one or two pairs of jeans can hold out until the next washing. Next we meet Bobby Bubbles. You know the one. He ' s always borrowing detergent because after only two loads of clothes he ' s out. Then he returns yours with half as much as when he took it. There ' s really no need to use more detergent than what the instruc- tions call for. The clothes won ' t get any cleaner by adding more soap; you only stand the chance of endangering some poor unsuspecting soul who opens the laundry room door, only to by engulfed by the killer bubbles. Ahh . . . and there is Frank the Fader who just loves to throw everyth- ing into one machine so that he can ' spend less on wash and more on beer. It wouldn ' t be so bad if the clothes were all dark or all white. But no-o-o! There goes the brand new navy-blue slacks right along with the white shirt. Well, Frank , like it or not, you have just bestowed upon yourself an entirely blue wardrobe. Last but certainly not least, we are pleasured to meet Larry Lint. Regard- less of their color, it is most unwise to combine your towels with the rest of your wash. There is nothing else those machines enjoy any more than picking the small threads off of your towels and placing them on your sweaters and dark pants and shirts. And doesn ' t it just an- noy you to no end to pull your wet clothes out of the machine and see gobs of lint stuck all over them? Put- ting only towels with towels can save you a lot of time spent with lint brush in hand. The art of clothes washing. How sweet it is! During the winter months, guys, let ' s try to remember the ever so popular dryer sheets. You know it is most em- barrassing to be seen walking around campus with the legs of your pants stuck to your socks! Hopefully, with this, we will witness a revolution of more true to color clothing and fewer mishaps in the laundry room. So let ' s keep the spirit, guys, remember practice makes perfect! The art of clothes washing. How sweet it is! Lga j 54 How To ' s I i «■■■■■ The surge in role reversal in auto me- chanics has been on the rise. Much to the amazement of many a traditionalist, it is not a Bobby that rolls from under- neath a car, but a Bobbie Jo. Many times, much skepticism is met when these grease monkeyettes dive under a hood, reach for a jack or ask, fill it up? These female proletariats skilled in the art of auto mechanics, however, are only a minority. More often than not, the terms distri- butor and carburetor might be phrased as thingamajig and what- chamacalit. You girls seem to have a knack for expressing parts in a lan- guage known only to yourselves. This is to say that a guy who happened upon the scene of two girls working on one ' s car might be in a baffled state, while the girls seemed to be in total agreement. That ' s OK, girls, as long as you know what you ' re talking about, or appear to, no questions will be asked. However, girls, just to be sure that some of the essentials are carried through properly, here are a few rights and wrongs. At one time or another, it is going to be necessary to change a tire. This op- eration is really not as difficult as one may think. It is, however, an operation that leaves one a little less than tidy. The first order of operation is that of removing the hubcap. This can be easi- ly performed with the spiked end of the lug wrench. (To those who are not as knowledgable, it is the long metal thing that has one screwdriver-look- ing end and one littlecup end on it.) Next, in jacking up the car, it is virtually essential that you refer to your owner ' s manual. This will quite simply show you where and explain how to operate your style of jack. It will be more than likely necessary for most of you girls to slightly loosen the lugs, which are under the hubcap, before jacking up the car. This is because, unless you are equipped with a fine pair of arm mus- cles, once your tire is off of the ground, every time you go to turn a lug, your whole tire is going to turn. Mow this can be very frustrating in that you could turn to your little heart ' s desire, but that lug is not going to go anywhere as long as the tire is spinning as you are trying to loosen the lug. Alright, now that this is taken care of, the next part is easy. Finish loosening the lugs and remove the tire. Being ever so careful not to accidentally bump into the jack, which may result in a serious disaster, careful- ly slide he tire off of the car. Barring all great surprises, as opening your trunk only to discover that your spare is flat, the spare can be placed on the car just as the flattened tire was removed. Here is one very important fact to remember, girls. (Jpon placing the lugs back on the bolts, be especially careful to place them on with the protruding side facing the underneath of the car. Now you ask, why is that so important? What differ- ence does it make, right? Wrong. It makes a great deal of difference, that Is if you wouldn ' t mind driving down the highway only to look back and discover that your tire is spastically rolling down the road. That could be hazardous not only to your health but also to numer- ous other drivers who may have the unfortunate experience of being behind you. So let ' s get the lugs placed on the tires properly, girls, so as to keep un- identified flying tires off of the highway. Now you can lower the car, retighten the lugs, and replace the hubcap. Now, you are all set. How To ' s 55 A College Tradition Drinking t eer — it ' s college tradition. And on no college campus can more beer be consumed than at MTStJ. In an officially dry county, where no liquor by the drink can be served in public establishments, downing a pitcher of beer is the thing to do. With the proliferation of places which sell beer, Murfreesboro may well be the beer drinking capital of the state. Even the most hardcore of the non-drinkers among MTSCI students, at some time or another, succumb to the pressure and down a mug of the yellowish, amber brew. I used to hate beer. I would never drink the stuff, although my friends seemed to never get enough of it, said Jeff, a senior. But last summer when it was so hot, I realized how refreshing an ice cold beer can be. So, now I ' m hooked! But when Jeff started drinking beer (which has a rather high caloric content) he watched his weight skyrocket. I gained so much weight it was sad, so I stopped drinking as much beer, he said. Donna, another senior, continues to drink beer because I enjoy it and because liquor by the drink is not available in Murfreesboro. Beer is a very convenient drink. It ' s not so much for the taste that 1 drink beer, said Kevin, a senior, but for the after-effects. Beer is something you have to acquire a taste for. He admits that the good feeling associated with beer drinking is the main reason he imbibes. Okay, so everyone drinks beer. What beer do they drink? It ' s a toss-up, but Miller and Busch seem to be the most popular beers in Murfreesboro, with Budweiser taking third place. Cheap beers, like Weideman, are popular because of the inexpensive price. Donna professes a preference for Moosehead, a Canadian import, because it tastes good, has a lighter flavor and isn ' t too filling. Heineken is the favorite beer of Kevin, who due to financial situations, usually buys the cheajjer Busch. Heineken, import- ed from Holland, is more expensive than domestic brands. And the favorite places to drink beer? It might be C.J. ' s, Campus Pub, B L Pizza, Buster ' s or the Five Percent Solu tion. But regardless of the location, beer drinking is still the favorite MTS(J pasttime. 56 Drinking Beer .

Year In Review 59 Ronald Reagan 40th President Of The United States Ronald Reagan, governor of the state of California, was elected the 40th President of these United States on No- vember 4, 1980. The victory entailed a landslide of electoral votes in Reagan ' s favor. This incredibly prompt victory was the amazement of many an Ameri- can. The concession from President Carter had occurred at the early hour of 9:00. Unlike many grueling and lengthy elections of the past, this elec- tion of 1980 seemed to be wrapped up within a matter of a few short hours. At this time, President-elect Reagan desires President Carter to continue his present involvements. Hopefully, we will have some im- proved changes in government opera- tion to be observed in the coming four years. Everyone knows that we could certainly use improvements that would provide we Americans with a break in our expense to merely exist! 60 President cTiminy Carter 39tli President Of The United States In 1976, Jimmy Carter, a former governor of Georgia, vaulted out of ob- scurity to become the thirty-ninth president of the Gnited States. The electorate was charmed by Carter ' s down home ways and middle class de- meanor. Yet four short years later, that same electorate was disillusioned by Carter ' s inability to effectively gov- ern and his lack of true leadership qualities. On November 4, 1980, Carter re- ceived one of the greatest pastings an angry electorate had ever given a presi- dential candidate. By many accounts, the born again peanut farmer from Plains, Ga., was the victim of unsettled times and a failing economy. But, in many respects, Jimmy Carter was an effective leader. History will certainly do greater justice to his performance than did the voters on Nov. 4, under Carter, the administra- tion was able to bring about greater human rights reforms, an effective en- ergy conservation program, the Camp David peace accords which set in mo- tion the wheels of peace in the Arab- Israeli conflicts, and improved educa- tion programs. However, it was the hostage situa- tion in Iran- spiraling inflation, and ram- pant unemployment that will be re- membered best for the years of the Carter administration. The emergence of third world countries, our nation ' s dependence on foreign oil supplies and growing international unrest all indi- cate that our world is vastly changed from the past. Perhaps no president could have more effectively dealt with these changes than did President Carter. Now he is a private citizen once again, deprived of identity he craved- the identity given him by being presi- dent of the United States. President 61 The University Theatre The MTSU aniversity theatre season be- gan October 17 with a stimulating produc- tion of Richard Sheridan ' s ribald classic The Rivals. The play takes place in Bath, England during the height of romanticism. The plot revolves around several couples whose ro- mantic notions of love force their lovers to pretend to be different from what they are but in the end love triumphs and all the disguises are removed. The timeperiod and setting were subtly integrated in the minds of the audience by the delicate background music introduced before the curtain rose. Exceptional performances were given by Laura Leopard as Mrs. Malaprop, David Cummings as Captain Jack Absolute, and Allan Barlow as Bob Acres. Although the timing was inconsistant at the beginning, the players soon warmed up to crisp, clean delivery. In Act I, the exchange between Mrs. Mala prop and Sir Anthony Absolute was hyster- ical in its wit and ease of delivery. The min- uet music that played throughout suggested the mood and feeling nicely. Leopard ' s enthusiastic portrayal of Mrs. Malaprop was cleverly controlled. The juxta- positions and misapplications of words were magnificently accomplished. The make-up in this case was good. Leop- ard was a convincing elderly aunt. Barlow was quite a scene stopper at the end of Act I with his hilarious facial expres- sions and ease of movement although he was hampered by poorly directed blocking. Other than this the direction was adequate. The most consistant performance of the show came from Cummings. His facial ex- pressions and overall control of every scene was the major driving force behind the pro- duction. The surrealistic set effectively empha- sized the absurdity of the situations present- ed throughout the play. Costuming for the production was stylish and beautiful. Pat An- derson as Lydia Languish looked stunning in a gown of white silk trimmed in pearls and lace. The simplicity of the properties and set decoration counterbalanced the opulance of the characters and their costumes. Barclay Randall presented a very amusing charicature of the overly enthusiastic lover Faulkland. His mood projection warrents particular notice. Act II opened with an impressive display of the best overall acting of the production. Martin McGeachy was particularly effective as the blustery Sir Anthony in this act. The production ended on a triumphant note as all the lovers were reconciled, the sentimental Lydia to her Captain and Julia to her Faulkland. MTSU ' s performance of Phillip King ' s See How They Run stands out as a mas- terful display of theatrical talent. Conbining the talents of the players and stage crew, the production presented a mad merry-go-round of slapstick culminating in an enjoyable time for all. Dorothe Tucker, instructor of speech and theatre and director of the production, led the cast through an outstanding perfor- mance night after night with clever blocking and a generous helping of energy. The play,, presented in the Arena Theatre, took place in the small English village of Merton-cum-Middlewick, shortly after the end of World War II. It concerns the misad- ventures of a vicar named Toop and his wife Penelope. Penelope takes an old friend, now an American Ql, to play dressed as a vicar, since the town is out of limits to a soldier. Mistaken identities evolve because of the disguise. Although the production began slowly on opening night with a bit of awkward phras- ing, it was soon clipping along at a pace faster than a New York instant. David Cummings and Laura Leopard led with outstanding performance in this whim- sical farce. Also, giving fine performances were Martin McGeachy and Connie Camp- bell. The high energy level of the entire produc- tion was controlled by the cast as a whole well. However, at the end of Act 1 the hyste- ria was so rampant that the shouting match- es were a bit too much for the small area of the arena theatre. Overall, it was an evening of laughter and fun, full of light-hearted moments that left the audience with smiles on their faces and a memory of time well spent. 1 ?- r t 62 University Theatre University Theatre 63 IN THE MniD)ID)LE OF SPORTS 66 Baseball At the beginning of the 1980 Blue Raider baseball season, coach John Stanford was just itching to get into action Coach Stanford knew it would be a rougK schedule as he was quoted as saying, We ' ve got a tough schedule ... no patsies at all. It ' s definitely going to be a challenge. At the beginning of the season, the Blue Raiders were not only concerned about the tough schedule, but also if they were going to get started at all. The first three games, Georgia State and two with Alabama-Birmingham, were rained out. Finally, after the three rainouts, the Blue Raiders opened at home against Belmont College. The Blue Raiders destroyed the team from Nashville and started a winning streak which lasted three games, with the other two victo ries over Tennessee Wesleyan. The Blue Raider took the 30 record on the road, as they started their spring-break road trip. MTStJ faced a demand ing eleven-game schedule in eight days during their spring break trip to the state of Louisiana. The remainder of the season proved to be tough for the MTSU diamond men. Several games will stand out in the minds of both the players and the fans: the 2 to 1 win over Vanderbilt, a sweep of arch-rival Tennessee Tech, and of course the victory over Austin Peay that sent the Raiders to the OVC Tournament. Tournament play also had a memorable game. Middle Tennessee went up against eventual OVC champion West- ern Kentucky in the first round of the double elimination tournament and won 8 to 5. MTSG later was eliminated in the tourney by losses to Murray State and Western Ken- tucky. Joe Petrea led the team in batting with a .333 average. He was followed by Randy Starkey, who finished with a .317 average. . r The team as a whole had a batting average of .267. Mark Novak led the team ' s pitching crew with an impres- sive win-loss record of 6 and 0. Mark ' s ERA was a solid 2.68. As a team, the staff ' s combined ERA was a respect- able 3.83. A new addition for the Blue Raider baseball team will definitely make them glow. A $50,000 fund raising drive to erect lights for the MTSU base- ball field ended successfully during the summer and the work began before school started in the fall. The contribu- tions came from all over Middle Ten- nessee, with some unique contribu- tions being chipped in by George Stein- brenner of the New York Yankees and the Nashville Sounds organization. Because of the new addition, the ath- letic department has been contacted by such well-known powers as Ken- tucky, Tennessee, Mississippi State, and South Alabama concerning possi- ble night games. These are teams that are up in this area all the time playing other schools in their conferences who would like to play us. This is a chance for the baseball team to play quality competition, said Ed Arning, the MTSU Sports Information Director. Also, according to Arning, there will be an immediate impact on the recruiting because MTSU will be one of the few schools offering such a facility in this area. Also, the field will take on a more closed appearance as signboards will be added around the outfield fence. More color and excitement are defi- nitely going to be offered to the Middle Tennessee Blue Raider baseball fans in the future. -— BH 68 Baseball -r..

Intramural sports offers a variety of choices for University students and faculty to become involved in competitive sports. This year was the first year faculty could compete in the intramural sports and it was very successful. Increasing interest in the intramural program is evidenced by the fact that over 30 teams registered for the men ' s Softball tournament last fall. The program has grown to cover several organized sports which range from Softball to whiffleball, basketball to frisbee throwing. Although the list of sporting activi - ties involve many different kinds of events, the Recreation Staff is always looking for new events. The Intramural Sports program is part of the Campus Recreation department, which is under the direction of Glen Hanley. 70 Intramurals Thomas Shows Style Popularity of gymnastics is at an all tinne high in the United States and perhaps no one is more responsible than world champion Kurt Thomas. The versatile and graceful Thomas was on campus in October to demonstrate the famed Thomas flair in an afternoon clinic and an evening lecture in the LRC ' s Multi-Media Room. The lyric grace and superb control of the athlete Thomas was epitomized during his afternoon performance during which he dem- onstrated various gymnastics techniques for an audience which included, among others, a number of youthful gymnasts, many of whom were dreaming of future Olympic stardom and the quest for a gold medal — a gold medal which has alluded Thomas during his amateur career because of the boycott of the Moscow Olympics. That boycott was among the subject touched on by Thomas during his lecture. His boyish face somehow belies the fact that Thomas is indeed an adult with strong feelings for this sport. Despite the missing gold medal, in the eyes of those who wit- nessed his performance here, Kurt Thomas has reached the pinnacle of success in gymnastics. Intramurals 71 Another ' Rebuilding Year It started out to be another one of those years for the Blue Raider football squad. Coming off a 1-9 campaign in 1979, the MTSCI gridders were looking to rebound towards success. But success stayed away for awhile, and the Blue Raiders ended the season with a 2-8 record. At least, according to MTSCI ' s resident quip- sters, the team won twice as many games as they did last year. The season did, perhaps, end on a cheerful note with a two-game winning streak. After a last homestand victory over OVC newcomer Akron, the Blue Raiders took their show to Cookeville and outdid the Golden Eagles once again. It makes no difference to this team what their odds are, head coach Boots Donnelly said be- fore the season began. My ulcers are back and I ' m losing weight, but I can ' t complain about their effort. They give us all they can give us. A few no-shows and several preseason injur- ies to key defensive players such as center Joe Boyd and tackle Charles Gregory left the squad with some reservation about starting the season. We ' ve had about 17 scholarship players get hurt and we cannot get them back on the prac- tice field, Donnelly said prior to the North Ala- bama game. And we ' ve got one week here to get ready, and that ' s what complicates things for us. But the Blue Raiders did manage to field enough players for a team and headed to Flor- ence, Ala. for the season opener. The initial game of the 1979 campaign had foreshadowed that disappointing season, and It had been a 20- 17 home loss to UNA. Another defensive injury plagued the Blue Raiders and safety Dennis Mix was left on the sidelines with a broken vertebae. The first-game defensive alignment offered no less than four freshmen, one juco transfer, and the rest sopho mores. Raider fans, however, were looking forward to a supposedly strong offensive attack. Sopho- more quarterback Brown Sanford had finished his freshman year as the NCAA ' s Division l-AA eighth best passer and the OVC ' s number one total offense leader. Sanford was to be joined in the backfield by GT-Martin transfer Sammy Bryant, called by Donnelly, one of the premium athletes I ' ve had the privilege to coach. And, many Raider fans agreed that by the end of the season Bryant was as outstanding as Donnelly said. The time finally came for the first road trip and the gridders boarded the Blue Raider bus. But the squad blew three chances in the first 10 72 Football 5.. .t t AM iJfrvf- ♦ ' t- «? 5B minutes and allowed North Alabanna to roll up a 36-0 trounc- ing at the hands of the Blue Raiders. In a contest where the Lions chalked up their fourth straight season-opening victory for UNA head coach Wayne Grubb, MTSG failed to post its first season premiere win since 1974. The Blue Raiders got their only kickoff at the game ' s beginning, but an im pressive quarterback sack by Emanuel Toles quickly forced an Alabama punt. It was then that MTSCl blew its first chance. Following a smoothly-balanced attack by Sanford, senior kicker Gerald Robinson missed a 34-yard field goal, breaking his consecutive streak of 10 straight. However, on the very next play, MTSG lucked up again on a fumble by Lion fullback Milton Taylor, with junior cornerback Ricky Cox recovering. But to no avail. Once again, Middle Tennessee fell by the wayside. Sanford, looking less than his usual self, threw three straight incomplete passes before connecting with Kolas Elion on an interference call. With the ball on the five- yard line, junior tailback Bryant went up the middle for a gain of four. North Alabama then sat down the rule — no touchdown for the Blue Raiders. Bryant was stopped three times trying to dive over the line, but ended up one yard short. After that, Middle Tennessee blew the entire ballgame. The Lions capitalized on every mistake, which included three fumbles and three interceptions. The loss had nothing to do with North Alabama, Don- nelly said. ' And I found it extremely disgusting that our players did not do what they were capable of doing. The Lions ' Clarence Johnson opened the scoring with a 19-yard run following a Sanford fumble. In the second quar- ter, the UNA squad scored on a run and a pass for a 20-0 lead before ending with a 36-0 commanding shutout over the Raiders. Football 73 Ready to forget the first loss, the MTSG squad returned home to open the season at Horace Jones Field. Despite a large turnout of fans, the Blue Raiders were faced with a severe problem — intrastate foe (JT-Chattanooga returned 15 starters from the 1979 squad that won 59- 15, and four MTSCJ gridders were missing the game because of the famed hot dog suspension, including Sanford and Elion. The defense was still hurting from the rampage of injur- ies, and Donnelly made the statement that nine players counted on starting the season were missing from the roster. Needless to say, the Blue Raiders dropped another one. Bryant filled in the spot vacated by Sanford for the day, and admitted he was rusty from his days as signal-caller at CIT-Martin. The Raiders became a running team against the powerful Mocs, but couldn ' t make it through the middle. The young MTSCI defense looked good in spots, also holding (JTC up the middle, although the Moccasins scored 13 points in the first quarter. A 50-yard Steve Woods-to-Joe Burke pass opened the second quarter, but that ' s all the Raider defense gave (JTC in the remainder of that half. MTSCJ scored its first touchdown of the year after recov- ering a fumble deep in (JTC territory. Freshman Jerry Lock- hart carried a Bryant pitch from eight yards out into the end zone, and Robinson added the extra point. Although the Mocs were figured to shellack the Raiders once again, the MTSG defense allowed only one more touch- down before making two goal-line stands in the fourth quar- ter. In both instances, GTC was forced to kick field goals, and left Murfreesboro with a 32-7 decision over the Blue Raiders. 74 Football I { Following an open date, MTSCI opened the OVC schedule at home against More- head. In perhaps one of the most talked- about games of the season, the Blue Raid- ers fell to the Eagles 17-10. The talk wasn ' t about how well the team played or how close they lost, but about a fourth-quarter brawl which result- ed in suspensions of six MTSCI players and three Morehead players by the OVC. The brawl, which took place with 12:35 remaining after Lockhart had returned a Morehead punt, occured in a free-for-all between the teams. Although the Raiders played one of their best games, many students and other fans were distraught over the bad sportsmanship even though a game film showed an Eagle initi- ating the fight. MTSG led 10-7 just before the midway point on a Bryant Oyard run and a Rob- inson 44-yard field goal. The Eagles, though, scored just before halftime, and kicker Tim Duff booted a 51 -yard field goal in the third, to win by a 17-10 margin. Football 75 The Raiders managed to get it back together after the mixed reactions from fans and hosted Southern Conference foe Western Carolina the following week. Donnelly made the comment that We know who our true supporters are now. The Catamounts came to Murfreesboro after a disappointing 17-10 loss to Clemson the Satur- day before. Coach Bob Waters ' team blazed trails across the Appalachians, though, and capi- talized on Blue Raider mistakes to win the non- conference game 24-10. The visiting Cats took advantage of a blocked punt and a snap out of the end zone on another punt to score two safeties in the contest. Western Carolina eased out into a 7-0 lead halfway through the first period after MTSCI fumbled on its own 24-yard line. The Cats scored their first safety with 44 seconds left in the quar- ter, and added another one in the fourth period. The second period was a duel of place kickers as Raider kicker Robinson booted a field goal 76 Football ' !• • — t along with Catamount Biasucci. The Cats added another field goal in the last period, and Leonard Williams scored on a two-yard run. Sanford, trou- bled by an inflamed bleep tendon most of the night, connected on a 15-yard pass to receiver Elion with four minutes left in the game for the Blue Raiders ' only touchdown. Facing a dismal schedule of road games ahead, the Raiders took the highway to Rich- mond. Ky.. to challenge the defending 1-AA champion Colonels. Surprisingly, the Middle Tennessee team played a good three quarters of football against Eastern Kentucky, but were shutout 24-0 for a fifth straight loss. EKU got its sputtering offense going in the last period after holding only a 10-0 lead over the winless Raiders. Middle had another chance, after the wind players havoc with Robinson kicks and Sanford passes all day. with 7:55 to go in the game. Eastern ' s George Floyd fumbled a fair catch and Elion recovered, but Sanford was sacked twice for losses. EKG ' s second-string quarterback Gary Wood- lum ended the day ' s scoring on a five-yard keep- er. For the game Eastern had 22 first downs to 12 for MTSCI. while the Colonels rolled up 402 total yards to the Raiders ' 150. Football 77 MTSCJ refused to die, however. Sporting an 0-2 OVC record and an 0-5 overall mark, the Raiders travelled to bluegrass country again to face undefeated, top- ranked lAA power, Murray State. The Blue Raider offense ran up against a brick wall with Murray ' s powerful defense and scored only one touchdown. Meanwhile, the MTSCI defense struggled all afternoon as the Racers rolled up a 38-6 victory. What they gave us was a good ole county behind- the-barns whipping, Donnelly said. The Racers came into the contest with a dominating surge, scoring on both its first and second posses- sions. A 60-yard drive, ending on a 16-yard Nick Nance run, and an 89-yard drive followed by a Gino Gibbs pass to Anthony Robbins, gave Murray a 14-0 lead. Nance added another touchdown in the second period for a 21-0 halftime score. Bryant started the game for the Blue Raiders in the quarterback spot, as Sanford ' s arm plagued him again. We knew coming into the game that we were going to be limited offensively ... Donnelly said. ... there wasn ' t really anything to do. They just lined it up and brought It right down our throats. m The next week, however, was homecoming. Raider hopes were high, and excitement was more than ever for a Raider win. Austin Peay ' s Governors came to town, and the young MTSG team was more than hap- py to play a game at home. A sign in the grill said, Ray Blanton was a gover- nor, too. But as the words rang true, Austin Peay got away with a lot, too. Peay ' s potent aerial attack never really opened fire, but the Governors destroyed Middle ' s homecoming hopes, taking a 7-3 victory back to Clarksville. Quarterback Sonny Defilippis, the leading total of- fense leader in the OVC, scored on a 4-yard run in the third quarter to provide the Gov ' s with a winning margin. The Raiders had held a 3-0 lead going into halftime, as the young defense contained Peay ' s tough offense. The Gov ' s had been limited to only 90 yards rushing and 34 yards passing for the half. Our defensive people have started to play, Don- nelly said, because, I believe, they truly want to play. They ' ve started to retain what they learn every week. And for the first time since we ' ve been here, the players are starting to enjoy getting in the action with their head gear and all. Robinson kicked a 27-yard field goal with 21 sec- onds in the first half to give Middle Tennessee the 3-0 lead. A Sanford pass intercepted by Peay ' s Johnny Walk- er set up the Governors ' third period touchdown. Walker returned the interception for 28 yards to the MTSU 15-yard line before Defilippis engineered the three-play scoring drive. After an open date and a chance to regroup, the Raiders took the road once again to Kentucky — this time to face eventual OVC champions, Western Kentucky. The MTSCJ team gave the Hilltoppers a run for their money before a homecoming crowd of 20,000 plus, but came back home with a 30- 15 loss to the undefeated Western squad. The Raiders were succombed to a bad case of interception fever. The Hilltoppers seemed to al- ways be able to get their hands on the ball. Another stroke of bad luck was the fact that our defense was unable to remain in one piece. Little knit- picking injuries kept the Raiders from performing to the best of their ability. The Raiders continued to play with the most possible enthusiam, never saying die , until the last five minutes of the game. The Hilltoppers stopped our men ' s forward motion four times in a row at the goal line. Now that is discouraging! The game ended in the defeat of the Raiders, 30-15. Just when it looked like it might be another 1-9 season or worse (a winless record, no way!), the Blue Raiders put on their victory shoes and spelled a 13-9 win over OVC newcomer Akron. Few Raider fans braved the cold, rainy weather, but MTSU proved their vigor over the Zips. In what turned out to be a kicking duel, Robinson sidewind- ed a 39-yard field goal at the 1:06 mark to insure a Middle Tennessee win. Akron ' s Andy Graham accounted for all nine of the Zips ' points, scoring first in the second quarter on a 38-yard field goal, and adding two more in the fourth quarter. Robinson had booted a 44-yarder In the second period to tie the score at 3-3, and guaran- teed the victory with the tally at 10-9. Bryant once again scored the only Blue Raider touchdown for the day on a 1-yard dive with 7:38 to play in the third quarter to give host Middle the lead 10-3. Akron almost ended the Raider celebration be- fore it got started when Robinson ' s fourth period kick-off dribbler lined into a Zip and was recovered by Akron on the Zip 40. James Griffin, an MTSG safety, ended the threat and preserved the win with his second interception in the game. Once the Raiders got rolling, they couldn ' t be stopped. Following Bubber Murphy ' s announce- ment of retirement, the Middle Tennessee gridders grabbed a second straight win, downing the Golden Eagles in Cookeville, 21-7. In a game where the loser ended up in the cellar, the Blue Raiders kept possession of Harvey and awarded Murphy the game ball. Middle Tennessee took a 7-0 lead in the first period, and denied Tennessee Tech the lead. The Raiders ended the 1980 campaign on this happy note, and came back to Murfreesboro almost heroes. Donnelly ' s rebuilding years here are on their way, and who knows, the twogame winning streak could be the start of maybe a twenty-game winning streak?!!!! Only the Shadow knows! Football 81 FIRST ROW: Lori Hummel, Mitzi Williams, Wanda Lewis, Patty Moody, Deborah Ledbetter, Beth Glass SECOND ROW: Asaji Komatsu, Kathy Zachry, Jill Carroll. Sue Hicks THIRD ROW: Jackie McReynolds, Sheila Ware, Arlene Hale VOLLEYBALL Middle Tennessee ' s women ' s volley- ball team ended Its 1980 campaign on a sour note with a fifth place finish in the Tennessee Women ' s Collegiate Sports Federation Tournament. The team had eked out an above-aver- age win record in the regular season, but had been plagued in tourney play. Except for a second place finish at the GT-Martin Invitational, the Lady Raiders had seen little glory in the five tourna- ments they participated in. At one time in the season, however, the squad ran up a 7-1 record with wins over Austin Peay, Lambuth, Tennessee Tech and Vanderbilt. The final tournament, which is a fore- runner to AIAW regional competition was another tourney disaster for the MTSU team. Although they won games over nationally-ranked Tennessee and Memphis State, the Lady Raiders were defeated in the matches, and took only one victory (over (JT-Chattanooga) in the roundrobin. Junior spiker Jackie McReynolds and sophomore setter Asaji Komatsu were chosen by the tournament coaches as members of the All-Tournament team. McReynolds has been honored with the award all three years of her college ca- reer while Komatsu was a selection last year as a freshman. I was really happy with the way we played with the teams that were sup- posedly good — and they were, gra- duate coach Beth Glass said. We showed the state what we do have here at Middle Tennessee, the pro- gress we ' ve made, that we really de- served third and that we mentally gave it away. The caliber of bail here in Tennessee is really good, she added. But the oth- er teams are playing year-round and that ' s something MTSG has to do. The MTS(J squad is expected to be more challenging in the years to come. A young team, the Lady Raiders will return everyone except starting spiker Jill Caroll. 82 Volleyball Volleyball 83 Thm h Clhi (Birl(Badl(gir Ckserfeadeir The cheerleaders for Middle Tennessee State have earned, and deservedly so, the respect of all who have seen them perform. Being a cheerleader at any school is no easy challenge but leading cheers for a school with a struggling football program is even tougher. If having to show spirit in the fourth quarter of a typical M.T.S.CI. football game is not enough, imagine having to do this and be enthusiastic while competing with socializing, fashion watching, Jack drinking fans. Basketball sea- son is a bit easier because of its winning tradition but the competition with the other things is still prevalent. Al- though the cheerleaders know before hand the obstacles that stand in their way, they keep showing up and trying their best. Their endless hours of practice, practice, and more practice shows off as they try to stir up some enthusiasm. They shout, jump, do flips, build pyrimids, and countless other antics to try to get crowd response. For their determination, and most of all their stamina, to keep practicing, working, and performing as well as they do and under the conditions they have to compete with, they should be congratulated. 84 Cheerleader Cheerleaders 85 Lady Raider Track Middle Tennessee ' s Women tracksters passed a mile stone in their exist in the 1980 season. In the opening of their outdoor season, coach Mike Rasper ' s squad recorded the first win ever for an MTSCI team. ■ Their win did not exactly come under the best circumstances. With only a ten member squad in that season, the Lady Raiders managed to finish with 63 points as compared to the 49 for the second place Frisk University. I ' m very proud of the whole team, coach Rasper commented, All of our girls showed tremendous team unity. In the way of statics, the women tracksters all shined as individ- ual competitors: Marcia Hill, 100 meter, 12.4; Aoinetta Scruggs, 400 meters, 57.3; Sharon Johnson, 800 meters, 2:24; Jane Simmons, 1500 meters, 3:59; Susan Vaugh, 400 meter hurdles, 65.7; Scruggs, Hill, Vaugh, Hale, with 48.6 in the 400 relay; Hill, Vaugh, Scruggs, and Hale in the 1600 meter replay with 3:54.7; Johnson, Sims, Porterfield, and Johnson in the 3200 meter relay at 10:01; Arleen Hale, high jump, 5 ' 2; and Susan Vaugh in the long jump, 17 ' 6. 1981 MTSU WOMEN ' S TRACK TEAM(Front row, left to right) Susan Vaughn, Garnette Phillips, Jackie Wilbert, Rob- in Moses, and Jane Simms.

Finishing third in four different positions wasn ' t exactly the high point of any team, and that ' s how the team started out. We figured it would go about like this, coach Hayes said about the team ' s poor showings in the beginning, so we kept everybody out of the 300 meters and saved them for the mile relay. When coach Hayes thought all was lost, he had the problem of the boycotted Olympics to deal with. It ap- peared that one of the MTSCI athletes, Greg Artis, had a good shot at making the four-man delegation which would represent the U.S. in the long jump. I ' ve had the 1980 Olympics since 1975, Artis was reported as saying, and I honestly think we ought to go Artis learned to deal with the issue though he was actively an advocate for the Olympics. As the year went on, the MTSG track team proved themselves and started on the road as a team, a work- able, useable team with the ability that had always been there, but not always evident. Unfortunately, the team didn ' t have the best of years on paper. Men ' s Track 87 Lady Raiders The 1980-81 edition of the Lady Raiders went into the season with both good news and bad news. First of all the good news-they were picked to repeat as champi- ons in the OVC and ranked in the Top 20 preseason poll in the South. The bad news? Everybody would be after them this time around, and the pressure would be even rougher than the year before. The Lady Raiders, exemplified as a young squad, became even less experienced as the preseason wore on. Josephine Wright, a spunky 5-7 guard, had graduated and turned professional. Spring 1980 saw prize center lleana Portik become more inter- ested in classes, and after quitting the team, join the professional ranks also. The third blow in the battle of experience was the decision by sophomore forward Lisa Justice to quit in the fall, claiming she was burnt out on basketball. All was not lost, however. All- OVC forward Ester Coleman re- turned for her second year of play, and OVC All-Freshman Sherry Smith came back to run the of- fense from the point guard posi- tion. Coach Larry Inman ' s success the previous year had resulted in a good recruiting year, helped once again by the TSSAA tourney held in Murphy Center. Robin Hendrix, junior college Ail-American, joined the Lady Raiders, and added tremendous height to the team at 6-3. High school All-American Cassandra Howard, a 5-9 forward, and Shel- byville High product Daphne Newsome, also 5-9, added to the team ' s quickness and sharp shoot- JPQ- The Middle Tennessee women roundballers opened their season on Dec. 1 with a commanding 77- 55 win over the visiting Belmont Rebelettes. After a fairly close first half, the Lady Raiders opened up their run- ning game early in the second pe- riod to eventually edge out into a 24-point lead. - ' ' . f 88 Women ' s Basketball Go To Court Women ' s Basketball 89 % •. 40 t t III xx 90 Women ' s Basketball Women ' s Basketbafl 91 - -. V p - 92 Women ' s Basketball The lead swapped hands early in the game until MTSO outscored the Rebelettes 12 points to seven going into halftime. We just made too many floor mistakes, Inman said, apparently dissatisfied with the first showing. We played probably one of the poorest first halves that hopefully we will play. I guess it was just the first- game jitters. The freshmen played a key part in the victory, just as the 1979-80 frosh had done in last year ' s 73-70 defeat of Belmont. Howard started in Portik ' s spot and turned in a game-high 15 points, while New- some came off the bench to add 14. Fresh off the opening win, the MTSa squad hosted Vanderbilt the following Saturday and dropped to a 1-1 mark with a dis- appointing 89-88 loss. The Lady Commodores kept up with the MTSCJ pressing game. and managed to play pretty well on the defensive side themselves. They have played more games than we have and have had time to work out the kinks of early sea- son play, inman said. They showed everybody what they could do by beating both Auburn and Memphis State. Before making a holiday tour- ney swing in December, the Lady Raiders raised its overall record with a 87-67 trouncing of Tennes- see State ' s Tiger Gems. A streak of inconsistency hit the MTStJ club during tournament stops in Mississippi and Florida. In each of the tourneys, the Lady Raiders lost two of three games against some nationally ranked, stiff opposition. The MTSa squad fell three points short against Clemson in the opener of the MUW Christmas Invitational. The 66-63 loss pre- ceded a defeat by South Alabama the following night to give the Lady Raiders a 2-3 record. GSA hit a last second shot to win 51-50 over MTSa. The Lady Raiders did salvage a game during the tourney, howev- er, beating host Mississippi Uni- versity for Women 89-71 with ease. The MTStJ women roundballers made another stop after Christ- masthis time in Miami, Fla. Opening against undefeated and ranked Jackson State, the la- dies fell 82 in the Hurricane Classic. The next round, though, saw the Lady Raiders easily hand a loss to Miami of Ohio 78-57. Expected to win in the next game, the Lady Raiders dropped to 4-5 and disappointed their fol- lowers with an 80-74 defeat by the University of Miami. The tough holiday schedule, which ended MTStJ ' s chances of seeing national recognition in 1980-81, was a plus for the team, Inman feels. Women ' s Basketball It made us realize what we have ahead of us as far as the competition goes, the coach said. After struggling through its non- conference schedule, the Lady Raiders were then ready to defend its OVC championship of a year ago. In its first outing following the New Year, Middle Tennessee downed OVC foe Morehead State 73-68 to take an early 1-0 mark into the league race. Inman faced the toughest as- signment to date following the Morehead win-preparing his charges for a meeting with arch- rival Tennessee Tech in Cooke- ville. The game could have had a lot of bearing on the OVC race as well as the seedings for the Ten- nessee Collegiate Women ' s Sports Federation state tournament. The young MTSCJ squad pulled off the tremendous victory and beat the Golden Eaglettes on their own floor for the first time, while holding Ail-American candidate Jerilynn Harper to 13 points. After the tilt with Tech, MTSU hosted East Tennessee, with a 12- 1 record, in a TCWSF game. How- ard canned a last-second, 20-foot field goal to give the Lady Raiders a 74-72 win over the Lady Bucs. Carrying a 2-0 league-leading OVC mark, the Lady Raiders then proceeded to notch another con- ference victory, ripping Austin Peay in Clarksville 89-67. Prior to the game, Inman said the squad ' s game against Peay and Murray loomed big for them if they wanted to win back-to-back league championships. The Lady Racers, however, gave the MTSCI team a surprise visit, winning 71-70 and knocking the Lady Raiders to 3-1 in the con- ference. 94 Women ' s Basketball 9vJ Women ' s Basketball 95 Trailing by 12 points with 3:19 remaining in the contest, the Lady Raiders recouped their forces but still came out on the short end of the deal with the one point loss. Laura Lynn and Nancy Flynn paced the Lady Racers with 18 and 15 points respectively but the Raid- ers ' Cassandra Howard took scor- ing honors with 21 points in the losing effort. After the setback from Murray, the Ladies in blue picked them- selves up to win over the Tennes- see State Tiger Gems with a score of 80-65. The Raiders received an outstanding performance from center Robin Hendrix, as she poured in 31 points. Ester Coleman showed her stuff by scoring 30 points. Although spirits were high. Coach Inman looked to the next powerhouse. Western Kentucky. I think they ' re probably one of the biggest and most improved teams In the league this year, In- man said. Inman ' s fears soon became reali- ty as the Lady Hilltoppers of West- ern Kentucky eked out a 77-76 overtime victory over the Lady Raiders, thus diminishing any hopes for another OVC crown for the ladies in blue. Middle went into the Western game without the services of one of their best players. Ester Cole- man. She was out with strained ligaments in her knee. Western led 36-30 at the half, with the Lady Raiders shooting only 25% from the field. The only thing which kept the Lady Raiders in the game was their performance at the charity stripe, where they connected on 12 of 14 attempts. In the second half, the Raiders seemed to bounce back from the first half ' s doldrums, but still fell short. It ' s always tough to lose in overtime, Inman said. ' But you have to give the girls credit for Women ' s Basketball 97 coming back. Inman soon turned his opinions o f the ladies around, as they came home to be defeated by two more opponents. Tangling with the Lady Mocs of GTChattanooga, the Raiders came out o the short side, 80-71. Despite the fact that the Lady Raiders led at the intermission, 33-29, CITC took the lead with 15:51 to play and held on through the final min- utes to claim the win. Loss number two came with the clash with Memphis State. Al- though MTSCI had the homecourt advantage, they could not break through the Lady Tigers ' tough 1-3- 1 zone defense. MSCJ came out on top with a 79-61 win. Sophomore Sherry Smith, who last year set a school record for assists, did not see action that night. Dismayed team members seemed to blame Coach Inman, in- sinuating that her absence could have contributed to the loss. Inman refused to comment on the benching of Smith, but did say, We depend on a lot of people on this team. As long as they ' re giving 100% they can stay. Apparently Inman got the 100% he asked for when he took his team to Eastern Kentucky. There, the Lady Raiders were able to re- deem themselves and claimed a 79-51 victory over EKU. Ester Co- leman once again took scoring hon- ors as she pumped in 31 points in the win. The Lady Raiders continued their winning ways three days later when they squeaked by arch-rival Tennessee Tech 81-78 in a home- court showdown. The Lady Raiders jumped to a 20-13 lead, but the Eaglettes went on the warpath with ten unan- swered points to take the lead. However, at halftime the Lady Raiders went to the dressing room with a slim two point advantage, 41-39. In a very physical second half, both squads appeared ready to do battle in a knock-down, drag out fight to the finish. I was proud of our team, In- man said. When they got phys- ical, we got physical with them. However, several costly mis- takes in the last minute of play almost cost the Lady Raiders the game. We made some mental mis- takes, but that has been character- istic of our team all season, In- man said, as his team upped their record to 11-10. Belmont ' s Rebelettes were the next victims of the Lady Raiders as Hf « jn: y 98 Women ' s Basketball MTSU never trailed in the 78-70 contest. This is the first time this year that we ' ve played with compo- sure, Inman said. That composure was almost lost a few days later as the Lady Raid- ers managed to take a slim one point victory over Murray, 75-74. The mood that night was a jubi- lant one as the Lady Raiders clinched at least a tie for the OVC championship. The Lady Raiders continued their winning ways as they rolled over Austin Peay 74-65. Howard and Hendrix took game scoring honors with 20 points each, and Coleman contributed 15 in the win- ning effort. MTSU won their fifth straight contest by trouncing tJTMartin 75- 62. We played a lot more like sen- iors in this and the other games lately, junior center Robin Hen- drix said. We played to the best of our capabilities without falling apart at the end. Midway through the second stanza. Middle continued to match the Pacers basket for basket, and that kept the hopes alive. But Raider luck soon took a turn for the worse as they fell to West- ern Kentucky 94-88. We played terrible defense, and that really hurt us because it has been the key for us all year, In- man said. Although the Lady Raiders had a see-saw season they were able to enter the TCWSF State Tourna- ment in Memphis with anticipation of a good performance. With a win over Memphis State, the Lady Raiders confronted the nationally ranked Lady Vols from Big Orange Country in semi-final action. Despite their winning perfor- mance over the Lady Tigers the night before, the Raiders fell flat against UT, going down in defeat to a 66 47 margin. Coach Inman, recovering from the loss, attributed his team ' s de feat to the luck of the draw. I really believe if we had been in the other bracket we would have been in the finals. Hendrix proved without i doubt that she is one of th e finest centers in the country, Inman continued. Anytime you lose, it ' s not a good way to end a season. But the Lady Raiders nonethe- less closed out their 1980-81 cam- paign with bright signs of promise for the future. Women ' s Basket Ss i Sf ' E _- Hittihg ' era With Their Bes Shot s the mercury began to fall in aniicipa ' l n of winter, the mercurial 1980-81 Blue Raider basketball season got underway. The exciting feelings and sounds of top flight competition filled Murphy C ji r as the Raiders stMHd hitting ' em i best shots. • Picked in a preseason coaches ' poll to finish third in Ohio Valley Conference com- petition, the Blue Raiders entered the sea- son with hopes of bettering that prediction. And head coach Stan Simpson, in his sec- ond season at the Blue Raider helm, re- fused to allow his hopes to dim in light of the poll. Eventually, if we stay together and don ' t have any serious injuries, it will be a good basketball team, Simpson said. How quickly, I don ' t know. We ' re working jump shotSy Panc e P i Mh 14:50 hard every day to provide the student body remaining. ' V of MTSCi with the best basketball team they ' ve ever seen.

I ' ve been coaching for a lot of years, but personally, this has to rank higher than any of my other wins as a coach, Simp- son said. The Jaguars played up to their national ranking during the initial period, but thanks to a strong performance by Buck Hailey, the Raiders managed to stay close and trailed by only seven at the intermis- sion, 42-35. Simpson had special words of praise for Haley, a junior college transfer from Geor- gia, who scored 12 of the Raiders ' first 14 points. I think we ' re all guilty of building up some of our recruits a little too much be- cause we ' re so excited about signing a player the caliber of Buck, Simpson said. And instead of it working in our favor, it reverts pressure on the player. In Buck ' s case though, I think he fig- u red he had a lot more proof than he really did. While their classmates traveled home to spend a restful holiday season, the Blue Raiders remained behind, marching through a string of opponents, the way Sherman marched through Georgia. Victo- ries during the holiday season included wins over Clinch Valley, North Alabama, V( estmar and Tennessee State at home and Georgia State on the road. We ' ve come to the conclusion that taking the games one at a time is the best thing to do, Simpson philosophized. But looking ahead to an encounter with archrival Tennessee Tech, Simpson warned that this year ' s Tech team is much bigger than the teams they ' ve had in the past, but I believe their biggest asset is their experience and defense. Their new coach is really stressing defense and that ' s something they haven ' t been too strong on in the past. Going in to the Tech game with a 2-0 conference record, following back-to-back wins over Morehead State (64-57) and East- ern Kentucky (53-42), MTStJ faced a long 102 Men ' s Basketball Mens Basketball 103 road trip through the OVC facing all seven opponents in a row. An 86-62 victory over Tech extended the Raider win streak to 1 1 following the sea- son-opening setback. Tech ' s Golden Ea- gles, suffering from a disappointing re- building season, were able to keep pace with the Raiders for only the first ten min- utes of play. Jerry Beck led the Raiders in scoring by pouring in 19 points while junior transfers Buck Hailey and Rick Campbell in double figures with 14 and 12 points, respectively. A ten-minute scoring drought sealed the fate of the Akron Zips as the Blue Raiders visited the northern-most OVC campus and brought home a 57-50 victory. For the game MTS(J was 24 of 48 from the field for 50 percent while kron was 24 of 51 for 47 percent. The difference was at the free throw line where the Blue Raiders were 9 of 12, compared with the Zips who were two of two. The Raiders carried a 4-0 conference re- cord in the game with Austin Peay and extended their lead with a 62-61 victory over the Governors in Clarksviile. Shrugging off a last minute surge by the Govs, the Raiders scored their last nine points from the charity stripe during a sev- en minute dry spell from the field. Leading halftime 29-24, the Raiders went cold in the second half hitting only 27.7 percent from the field, while Peay shot 61.5 percent. Rick Campbell paced the Raiders with 18 points, but the Govs ' Roosevelt Sanders took scoring honors with 21. The Raider ' s twelve game winning streak came to an end, however, when the Simpson and Company Road Show made a stop in Murray, Kentucky, and fell to the MSU Racers 74-70. Our guys are to be commended for win- ning 12 games in a row against the compe- tition we ' ve been playing, Simpson said. We felt that initially the thing (the winning streak) would get to us, but you have to give Murray a lot of credit. The poise and confidence that comes from winning 23 or 24 games and going to the third round of the NIT like they did last year really showed in the end. The Raiders jumped out to an early lead, which swelled to six points on three differ- ent occasions during the first half. Murray, edged back to tie the score and take their first lead with 4:07 to go. But MTStJ ' s Cur- tis Fitts fired in our straight points to give the Raiders the lead again. Danny Mayfield added four more to give Middle the lead at the intermission 39-32. In the second half it was a different story as the Raiders were unable to sustain the momentum of their first half performance. Rick Campbell led MTSCJ with 16 points, followed by Jerry Beck with 13 and Buck 104 Men ' s Basketball Hailey with 1 1. The Raiders suffered their second straight OVC setback at the hands of the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers by a 67-55 score. People get tired of hearing this, but they don ' t have to go through it like we do, Sinnpson said. A lot of road games in a row will wear your kids down, it ' s tough to load up on the bus night after night and go into hostile gyms and ask our guys to be ready to play And when the Raiders got to Bowling Green, it was clear that they were not ex- actly ready to take on the ' Toppers. Western played great, Simpson said. Coach (Clem) Haskins really had his team ready to play a very important ballgame and he deserves a lot of credit. Rich Campbell kept the Raiders in the game early, hitting four long-range jump- ers. A Western lead ballooned to six points midway through the first half, but Camp- bell brought it back to two before picking up his third foul with 5:36 to go in the half. A Hilltopper seven point advantage was cut to three-29-26-at the intermission by Jerry Beck, who tossed in two straight 10- footers. The key in the game came during the second half as MTSG suffered still another scoring drought. Beck led the Raiders with 13 points, followed by Campbell with 12 and Perry with eight. Robby Randolph came off the bench to add six in the losing effort. MTSCI ' s loss in Bowling Green put them at 12 3 overall with a 5-2 OVC mark in preparation for a Murphy Center clash with Western Carolina, the team who had dealt the Raiders their initial loss of the 1980-81 campaign. The Raiders avenged that initial loss by pastng the Catamounts 66-52. You can see a lot of improvement in our team from the first time we played them. It makes a big difference playing them at home ... of course we would have liked to have played anybody at home tonight. The key going into the Western Carolina tilt rode mainly on the shoulders of juco transfer Buck Hailey. who had the assign- ment of guarding Westerns Ronnie Carr. Hailey held Carr to only eight points for the evening, compared to his 20 points plus average for the season and the 30 points he scored in the initial meeting of the two squads. MTSG jumped out of the blocks quickly in the second half, outscoring WCA 10-2 in the first four minutes, and the lead never dipped below seven and bulged to 18 points during one stretch. The emotion really there tonight. Simpson said. The road can really wear you down after a while and I think that ' s what had happened to us. It ' s really good to be home Rick Campbell had an exceptional game for MTSU with 25 points. Beck pumped in 16 points and pulled down 13 rebounds, followed by Hailey with 10 points and 7 rebounds. Overall, MTSG was 22 of 45 for 48.8 percent from the field and 22 of 32 from the free throw line for 68.7 percent. Seven- teen of MTSG ' s last 19 points came from the charity stripe. The Raiders out-re- bounded the Catamounts 40-30. MTSG blew an 1 1 -point second half lead to fall to Morehead State 61-60 in still an- other road show engagement. Men ' s Basketball 105 106 Men ' s Basketball The Raiders had three chances to win the ganne in the last five seconds. But shots by Pancakes Perry and Buck Hailey rolled out, and Chris Harris missed a one and one with two seconds left as the win slipped away. The downfall of MTSU ' s 1 1 point lead began after Harris hit two free throws with 9:05 to go. During the next five minutes. Morehead outscored Middle 16-2 and roared to a 58-55 lead. MTSU had carried a slim 29-28 lead with them into the locker room on the strength of Jerry Beck ' s 10 point performance. He ended the game with 17 points, hitting sev- en of eight from the field and notching a perfect three of three from the free throw line, and pulled down 1 1 rebounds. Campbell led the Raiders with 20 points, and Hailey tossed in eight. MTSU was 24 of 50 from the field for 48 percent and 12 of 18 from the line for 66 percent. The Raiders outrebounded the Ea- gles 29 to 28. The loss put MTSCI ' s record in the conference at 5-3, while Morehead improved their slate to 3-5. MTSG continued its tour of the blue- grass state with a visit to Eastern Ken- tucky University, losing a two-point heart- breaker to the Colonels, 55-53. The only salvation we ' ve got after this game is that we ' re finally going home, Simpson said following the loss. I ' m really proud of the guys because they made a pretty good showing of themselves even though we lost four out of seven games on the road. Eastern jumped out to an early advan- tage with Tommy Baker throwing in eight of the Colonels ' first 12 points. But substi- tute Willie Johnson helped the Raiders into the lead with a 10-footer that made the score 13-12 with 10:46 remaining in the half. Men ' s Basketball 107 EKG entered the locker room at halftime with a 31-23 lead. The biggest lead in the game for the Colonels was six 41-35 with 14:08 left in the contest. Jerry Beck once again led the Raiders ' scoring attack with 20 points and was the top man on the boards with 10 rebounds. After four straight OVC setbacks, the Raiders looked ahead to a home game against arch-rivals, Tennessee Tech, with hopes of getting back on the right track. Apparently the home court advantage was the key as Middle edged Tech 53-50. It ' s good to be back winning after what we ' ve been through, Coach Simpson said. Sophomore point guard Pancakes Perry poured in all 1 1 of his points in the second half to spark the Raiders past the visiting Golden Eagles. It was Perry ' s conversion of a one and one situation with 28 seconds remaining that clinched the narrow victory for the Raiders. The Raiders held their biggest lead of the night (a six-point advantage, with a 2:48 left in the game at 50-44. But costly mis- takes on the court almost cost the Raiders their much-needed win as they failed to connect on two field goal attempts while Tech began to eat away at the lead. Neither team had outstanding field goal percentages with Middle hitting 24 of 45 for a .533 mark and Tech canning 21 of 48 for a .438 mark. The Blue Raiders were five of 1 1 from the free throw line while Tech was eight of nine from the charity stripe. Beck led Raider scoring with 19. The win upped Middle ' s overall record to 14-5 and OVC mark to 6-4. Tech dropped to 1-9 in the league and 4-16 overall. Akron was the Raiders ' next victim in league play as the men in blue trounced the Zips 90-64 in the confines of Murphy Center. But the next game against Detroit was a different story as the Raiders fell to the Titans 75-60 in Detroit. Coming off back-to- back losses to DePaul and Marquette, the Titans were fighting mad by the time the Raiders arrived in town. The perennial national powers brought a 7-15 slate into the tilt and came out on top to improve their record. Middle held a 31-28 lead going into the second half but failed to keep up with the Titans in the second period. Blue Raider Jerry Beck scored 20 points for his squad, which carried a 15-6 record into the next game with Murray State at home. The Raiders clinched at least a tie for fourth place in the OVC with a league vic- tory over Murray State 67-53. We think the game clinched us a berth in the OVC tournament, Coach Simpson said. If we beat Austin Peay, it might give 108 Men ' s Basketball us a second or third-place seeding in the tourney, and that ' s what you want in our situation. The fourth-place team will have to play the host team on the first night. Middle jumped out to a commanding 10- point lead with eight minutes remaining against the Racers as Chris Harris scored on a fast-break layup engineered by team- mate Rick Campbell. Murray managed to whittle that lead down to eight several times, but on the free-throw shooting of Beck, MTSCi grabbed a dominating 12-point advantage with 1:27 left on the clock. Another OVC contest, this time against Austin Peay, was the next bout on the schedule for the Raiders. And the Govs avenged their earlier loss to the Raiders by upending the men in blue 81-77 and thus ensuring themselves a berth in the OVC post-season tournament. The Governors dominated from the foul line, sinking 29 of 35 free throws-seven of eight coming in the last seven minutes of Mens Basketball 109 regulation play. The important figure, througli, was tiie overtime free throw shooting. While Middle was fouling to keep Peay from stalling, the Govs hit 10 of 14 from the foul line. Peay did a great job of shooting their free throws, Simpson said. Peay held a 34-31 lead at halftime. Rick Campbell led the Raiders in scoring with 20, followed by Curtis Fitts with 14. Chris Harris and Jerry Beck finished the evening with 12 and 10, respectively. Junior Mike Frost came off the bench for Middle and had an unusually good game for the Raiders, shooting four of four from the field and adding a free throw. Frost also pulled down six rebounds. Rick Campbell fired in 22 points to lead the Blue Raiders to a 62-54 win over league- leading Western Kentucky before an ec static Murphy Center crowd estimated at 8,500. The win assured the Raiders of at least a third-place finish in the OVC, as they closed out league play with a 9-5 mark. This was a great win for us against a big, tough Western team, Simpson said. Anytime you beat these guys, you have to be proud of your team. The Hilltoppers came into the game with an 11-1 league record and had clinched the regular season title only five days before with a win over Murray State. Middle jumped out to an early 9-3 lead with every starter getting into the scoring column. Jerry Beck ' s dunk with 13:49 re- maining in the first half gave Middle its biggest lead of the evening at 18-7, but two straight baskets by Percy White kept WKG within striking distance. The Raiders led at the intermission with a 32-29 score. A nine-point Raider advantage shrunk to nothing during a four minute Western scor- ing drive when the Hilltoppers outscored MTSCl 10-0 and took a 45-44 advantage with 8:55 to go. The Blue Raiders outscored WKG 12 4 in no Mens Basketball the final four minutes, with 10 points com- ing from the charity stripe. The win assured the Raiders of a first round matchup with Murray State in the OVC tournament. Despite one of their best efforts of the season, the Raiders fell 72-70 to the CIT- Chattanooga Moccasins. It ' s no shame to lose to one of the best teams in the Southern Conference on their home floor, MTSG ' s Simpson said. If we can get an effort like this one in the OVC, then we can win the tournament. Blowing a 21 point lead, the Raiders held on to finish the regular season in a winning fashion by defeating the Oral Roberts Gni- versity Titans 85-79 in overtime in Murphy Center. The Blue Raiders streaked out to an 35- 14 advantage in the first 12 minutes of the contest against the nationally recognized Titans, but were outscored 27-12 in the last 8 minutes to take a slim 47-41 lead into the locker room at the half. Jerry Beck provided much of the fire- power for MTSU in the early going, picking up 17 points and nine rebounds in the sec- ond stanza. Perry added 16 points, fol- lowed by Campbell with 15 and Harris and Hailey, both with 13. The Raiders ' mercurial season ended with the loss to Murray State in the first round of the OVC tournament. Murray claimed thevictory with a 62-60 score. The Raiders led by as many as eight points midway through the second half but couldn ' t put together a drive to wreck the Racers. Pancakes Perry had a chance to put the game virtually out of reach when he stepped to the foul line with 16 seconds to go in regulation for a one and one situation, but missed. MSCl ' s Lamont Sleets, the tourney MVP, hurriedly drove the length of the court and scored to tie the game, 56-56 and send the game into overtime. Jerry Smith of MSCI hit four of his team ' s six overtime points to propel the Racers into the finals against Western Ken- tucky. We had our chances, Raider coach Simpson said. But you have to give Mur- ray a lot of credit, they ' re a championship ball club and they know what to do to win. MTSCJ ' s biggest margin, 42-34, came with 14:18 remaining, but MSU put togeth- er a surge and out-scored Middle 12-3 over the next six minutes to take the lead. All hopes of an NIT bid went down the drain with the loss to Murray, but Simpson said he was very proud of the season his team had turned in. Men ' s Basketball 1 1 1 112 Men ' s Basketball Cross-Country The MTSU crosscountry teams opened their sea son at Sewanee. The competition proved to be tough as the Blue Raiders finished 4th behind Vanderbilt, Greater Nashville Track Club, and Sewanee. The Lady Raider coach said she felt good about their performances and that as the season progresses their times will decrease. The next meet showed a different light, as the Blue Raiders fin- ished first in the Middle Tenn. Cross Country Invitational. MT. U ' s Joe OLoughlin and Ross Dowland stole the show as they finished first and second, respectively, in the 4-mile course. MTSU was followed by Sewanee, Alabama A M, King ' s College. Belmont, and Austin Peay. After the meet, mens coach Dean Hayes said, The guys did an excellent job, but were mainly working on getting ready for the OVC meet. The Lady Raiders weren ' t as fortunate as they could only manage a fourth place in the meet. Even though coach Hayes was mostly concerned about the OVC meet, he did not let this hinder the team ' s performance in other meets. MTSU dominated the David Lipscomb Cross Country Invita- tional, competed in the Furman Invitational, and captured the Ten- nessee Intercollegiate Men ' s Cross-Country Invitational. The OVC proved to be, as expected, the toughest competition yet. Along with the tough competition the Blue Raiders had to face pouring rains, blowing winds, and a wind chill factor of 21 degrees. All of these factors proved to be too much for the Raiders as they ended their season placing fifth in the OVC. As usual, Joe O ' Laughin was the standout for the men and Sharon Johnson was tops for the ladies. Cross-Country 1 13 ■1 ■■BJM|y||MH j ! Tennis Anyone? Once the sport was considered a game for only the rich and the elite. Now, it has almost replaced baseball as one of America ' s favorite pastimes. Playing in their first and only indoor tennis match of the season, MTSG ' s tennis duo of Peter Hefferman and Dale Short won the doubles title in the OVC Indoor Championship in Murray, Ken- tucky. In the format of the unique ten- nis tournament, conference coaches decided the top two players from each school ' s team should be represented. In an overall retrospect of the season the team members placed as follows: Dale Short, 16-6; Peter Hefferman, 12- 11; Darren Christie, 10-6; Mark Tul- loch, 12-12; Tony Fernandez, 14-6; Danny Wallace, 8-12; Graeme Harris, 14-5; and Bates Wilson, 31. The men ' s tennis team placed an impressive second in the OVC compe- tition, and Dale Short was an OVC Champ in the singles when he claimed a first-place standing.

After 22 years as head football coach and direc- tor of athletics. Murphy chose to retire. The dean emeritus of the OVC stepped down after provid- ing Blue Raider fans with some of the finest teams in the nations college division. His 1965 football squad, for example, went 10-0 in the OVC. As a player for MTSCI (1936-37). Murphy exem plified the word versatility by lettering in tennis, baseball, basketball and football. While playing tailback in 1936, he set a record with 69 points and ranks as the third highest scorer in the school ' s history. Tallying 127 points during his three years on the gridiron, he became the school ' s first Little Ail-American. In 1947 he returned to his alma mater as head football coach. Four of those other years MTStl finished in the runner up position.

On politics. Dr. Ingram felt that the televised presidential debates gave people a chance to make their own opinions on the candidates. He also said he is concerned over how people seem to be less willing to devote time to the political process. On the personal side, Dr. Ingram has been mar- ried for thirty years. He and his wife have two sons. He has a farm in Moore County, and, when he can, he likes to go there and drive a tractor. He also likes to fish and hunt. Jack Carlton is the vice president of Academic Affairs. He received his bachelor ' s at Centenary College in 1948; master ' s in 1949; Ph.D. in 1951 from L.S.Cl. He has been vice president of Aca- demic Affairs since 1975. His job deals on a student- to-student basis. He oversees the budgets for each university department. Carlton ' s spare time is filled with the outdoors. With his time taken in hunting and fishing. He also enjoys playing tennis. William F. Greene is the vice president of Busi- ness and Finance. Vice President Greene received his bachelor ' s in 1958 here at MTSU; his master ' s at CITK in certified public accounting in 1961 and has held his position since 1968. Greene ' s job is mainly involved in budgeting and finances of the university and schools. In his spare time, Greene throughly enjoys farm- ing. He owns a farm just outside of Murfreesboro. The vice president of Student Affairs is Dr. Rob- ert C. LaLance. Dr. LaLance received his bachelors in 1962 at West Virginia University; his master ' s at UTK; and his doctor of arts at the University of Alabama in 1974. He has held a faculty position since 1963. His job deals primarily with the stu- dents themselves. In his spare time, LaLance en- joys outdoor entertainment, including tennis and fishing. Administration 13 .. m.. School Of Liberal Arts Dean Robert Corlew, aside from performing his rig- orous duties as dean of the School of Liberal Arts, allows himself time to instruct one class each semes- ter. Corlew feels that this is important, in that he remains in contact with the students. Sitting behind a desk, and being continually involved in the paperwork required by his office, makes for, as Corlew stated, someone who loses touch with the reality of the school and the students in it. By instructing these classes as he does, he enables himself to be more than just behind the scenes. Corlew is in the process of revising the second edition of the HISTORY OF TENNESSEE which will be in print by March of 1981. This edition, which Corlew shared in the original writing of, is used as a textbook in many schools in Tennessee. The MTS(J tennis court is one place where Corlew may be spotted during leisure time. He enjoys tennis and plays virtually every Saturday with his daughter. At other leisurely moments, he may be seen fishing on the Stones River. hi cSjIi iSU fdM Dept. of Sociology Anthropology and Social Work Dept. of Geography and Ge- ology Dept. of Political Science Larry V.

Hodge came to MTSG this past summer from Arkansas State, where he was dean for fourteen years. As dean of the School of Education, he is in charge of eight departments. His job includes seeing that the bills are paid, approv- ing applications for Teacher Education, and keeping up with the changing field of education. In the not too distant future, he sees many penings for math teachers. Dean Hodge has some advice for education students: If you are serious about teaching, you should take as much math as you can and be willing to go where the jobs are. School Of Education Administration 135 School Of Basic And Applied Sciences Dean Edwin Voorhies is dean of the school of Basic and Applied Sciences. He represents the nine depart- ments to the administration, and vice versa. He works with the faculty in solving problems, but says he tries to prevent them first. Prior to becoming dean. Voorhies taught in the department of industrial studies, and says what he likes least about his present position is the limited contact with students it provides. On the personal side. Dean Voorhies says he has always been interested in athletics. His other activi- ties include church and the Water and Sewer Board. He is the father of three children, and he has two grandchildren. 136 Administration Dept. of Agriculture Dept. of Industrial Studies Dept. of Mass Communications Dept. of (Nur sing Dept. of Biology Dept. of Military Science Dept. of Math and Computer Science Dept. of Chemistry and Physics Dept. of Aerospace Administration 137 iwwwrt d HS tw U ' I l£ Kk - ' b- ir? fi s i A BP « ■IdllL SS ' - ' (k .

Dean McNew mentioned that thirty years ago he had been inducted into the Army. On the domestic scene, Dean McNew considers him- self an unhandyman at home. He said that when something malfunctions, he first tries to fix it and ends up calling a repairman. How about it?

When interviewed, Dean Aden was working on a cost study for the Board of Regents. The depart- ment of institutional Research fig- ures the cost of operating the uni- versity and of each class, com- piles enrollment statistics for the federal government, and encour- ages state and federal grants. On the personal side. Dean Aden is married and has two chil- dren. He is currently taking a class in Information Systems. When he has spare time (which he says is rarely), he likes to read history and anthropology. Dean Aden has a B.S. in Anthropology from the University of Mexico, and remembers fondly some of his anthropological digs, certainly a far cry from his present job. Dean Aden received his mas- ter ' s from Murray State College in 1953 and received his Ph.D. from George Peabody College in 1955. Dean Aden has been in his pre- sent position since 1967. Paul Cantrell, dean of students, is in his sixteenth year at MTSG. He taught economics and finance for five years, was dean of men for five years, and is in his sixth year as dean of students. Dean Cantrell enjoys his job, one of the principal reasons being the variety of his duties and re- sponsibilities. Among other things, he supervises the deans of men and women, the university police, and the ASB (a full-time job in itself!). He is the supervisor of minority affairs, interfraternity council advisor, and works close- ly with the ASB cabinet members and with planning homecoming activities. All fund-raising activi- ties, parades, rallies, and requests for a table in the G.C. must be approved by him. Outside of his duties here at MTSCI, Dean Cantrell enjoys hunt- ing, fishing, and water skiing. He likes dogs, and owns a Shetland sheep dog. i 144 Administration W ' Associate Dean of students Ivan Shewmake loves to read and describes himself as a word junkie who needs a fix once a day, usually before he goes to bed. Dean Shewmake says that reading slows him down after the hectic pace of his work day. Dean Shewmake spends the greatest per- centage of his time dealing with discipline problems. He is not concerned so much with mischief as with actual crimes, such as theft. His office coordinates a number of crime prevention programs because he feels prevent- ing crime is more effective and less unpleasant than apprehending the perpetrators and deal- ing with them. To counteract the polluted world view that dealing with discipline problems provides. Dean Shewmake works with disabled students to find out what programs and improvements can be made for them. Dean Shewmake is very proud of the facilities MTSG has at the dispos- al of these students. Besides reading and his work, Dean Shew- make enjoys painting, writing poetry, and writ- ing short stories. Any other time he has he spends playing Dungeons and Dragons with fellow administration members, and trying to protect Western civilization. The Dean of Women, Judy Smith, is one of our campus ' s leading ladies. She received her bachelor ' s degree in 1960 from MTSU in Eng- lish. In 1962, she received her master ' s from the School of Social Work at UTK. She has held her present position since 1966. Her job is a multi-faceted one. The duties of Dean Smith range from overseeing Panhellenic Council rush to presiding over ASB General Sessions Court. She also is responsible for the general welfare of women, including discipline, and is presently involved with the Rape Aware- ness Program, along with the help of Larry Nixon. Her outlook on tomorrow ' s horizon is bright. She hopes to see some changes: more stu- dents realizing their potential and more women involved in politics. In her almost nonexistent spare time, she enjoys raising her family, grow- ing plants, and playing bridge. Administration 145 607,000. The Andrew L. Todd Library contains more than this numlser of volumes, along with subscriptions to 2,885 maga- zines. Accommodating over 1,000 students, the library is a place to read your home town paper or Rolling Stone, people- watch, globestare, or gossip. You can also study in a quiet hidden corner. Con- venient to the Grill, students are prone to take many breaks, needed or not. 146 Administration 1 r J ■ t. i B ' m X ■ ■■• 1 i H The Learning Resources Center is a 65,000-square foot facility de- signed to provide privacy and re- sources for study beyond those of- fered elsewhere on campus. Among the facilities it offers are the Person- alized Learning Lab with 200 indi- vidual study carrels, small confer- ence rooms, and listening booths. Other facilities include the 390-seat multimedia classroom and the me- dia theatre. The LRC also contains a TV studio, and all classrooms on campus are connected to the LRC by a TV cable. Administration 147 WfCAP UPS TUITION INCREASED . . . again? A 13 percent increase in tuition is facing MTSG students. It ' s in- tolerable . . . MTStl will lead in sending Governor Alexander a resolution opposing this in- crease, says Randy James, ASB President. 1 don ' t think we can roll the increase back, but at least they ' ll know how we feel. This tuition would not only make it tough on the parents of students, but what about the self-support- ing students who are scrimping to provide an education for them- selves? They deserve a little more than a break! OPEN PARKING rriol or rribubrion? The ASB House and Senate passed a resolution which re- quested the Administration to ex- periment with one week of open parking for the students on cam- pus. This resolution proposed, would eliminate the color-coded parking on campus for a one week trial period. This proposal was not passed by the administra- tion, however, so better luck next time, folks. REGISTRATION - frustration to many- The long lines of freshmen awaiting cards for Math and English were not easily endured. Not only were the freshmen disconcerted, the upper classman, who had waited until the last minute to fill a general education requirement, became panicked. Is it right to allow freshmen priority in registration at the expense of a sen- ior ' s forthcoming graduation? This is the ques- tion asked by many an upper classman. We assume that the administration has a purpose for assigning registration times in the manner that it is done. Anyway, who are we to ques- tion the motives of the authorities? PLAY or FOUIv-PLAY? Relax, everybody, this is not a fatality. The Buchanan Players are acting out the presenta- tion of See How They Run. This comical presentation was thoroughly enjoyed by the many who attended. 1 ■ 1 r - §9 £ J,.l,Ui m • i U« «. 11 IfilMH HfV 1 ■ K 1 m A fc..A ' .-At ' m 148 Academics « a ' v ' 3 KILLER BKES? At the start of this semester, there was an overwhelmingly amount of bees on campus. Anyone attempting to unload an article of trash, had the option of either being stung or trying to make a long-shot toss. The debris piled up for weeks upon weeks in the very-small outdoor containers. The collectors would not even attempt the pick up. Now that is getting bad when even the collectors do not have the nerve to approach the bees. The trash was finally cleaned up; the killer bees no longer hazardous to the student ' s health. WHO ' S SAFE The attacks on women around the campus have been more than just alarming to many. Seminars have been held in the dorms to place stress on the importance of being aware, at all times, of your surroundings. Walking in well-lit areas was the main point brought out. Campus officials have stated that additional lighting is in the process of being installed for the purpose of added protection. 1 ■i • ift ■ jMT _ f •- ' . There were problems in gathering the information to be compiled into the 1980-81 catalog. There were also difficulties in the receipt of the catalogs from the printer. The catalogs arrived late but, hopefully, did not present any problems to the new arrivals at MTSCI. The admissions office does not contemplate this delay oc- curing next year. Let ' s hope not! CWSP WILL RECEIVE RAISE CWP WILL NOT? After much to-do over the discontent felt by the CWP par- ticipants, Sam Ingram announced on November 24 that these students would receive the same pay raise given to CWSP. Ingram added that this change will cost the university 80,000 additional dollars, $80,000 more than the university has. In order to substantiate this increase, the students hours will be cut back.

Greeks 169 170 Greeks Greeks 171 BEING GREEK When someone chooses to go greek, it ' s not as if he has signed away his life or closed the door on friendships with non-greeks. Rather, it means that he has chosen the greek way of life as the best way to make his college career more productive. It ' s well known that contacts are what make it easier to be successful in the business world. There ' s no place better to make business contacts than in the fraternity system. I ' m not buying my friends, instead I ' m joining together with people who have the same basic value system as I do. I ' ve not regretted going greek at all. I ' m very proud to be a part of a system that ' s rich in tradition. BEING INDEPENDENT Many people often assume that I ' m greek and are somewhat surprised that I chose to remain Independent ' . I made a conscious decision to re- main apart from the greek system simply because I ' m afraid I would feel constrained by the thought of being a part of a system which seems a to dictate ideas and opinions to its me though I have no ill feelings toward gr« ize that it ' s just not for me. My individuality is very important to me and while I am a member of other groups, I think the greek system would work against that. Remaining independent has meant that I ' ve been able to channel my energies into other areas. 172 Organizations Beta Beta Beta Row Meft to right.

Performance of this publication is measured by national rating services and competition with the other collegiate newspapers throughout the country. Rated AIIAmerican for the past four semesters by judges from the Associated Collegiate Press, Sidelines has affirmed its place among the premier college publica- tions. Sidelines was recognized by judges for the Marl of Excellence contest sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, as the top student newspaper in a four-state region. Sidelines managed to outdistance entries from Memphis State, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, LSG. Arkansas, Mississippi State and other mid-south schools to take top honors. Furthermore, student writers and photographers excelled in individual categories taking awards for spot news, news and feature photography, and cartooning. A university newspaper of such high caliber functions with a dual purpose. First, and foremost, Sidelines provides information at all levels, university, local, state, and national. The editorial staff combines efforts with reporters on a daily basis to insure that information dealing with issues that interest students is published. The editorial and oped pages serve as an outlet for student opinions and reader feedback on any issue the writer feels strongly about. Any well-written opinion from students and faculty members is considered for publication, which exemplifies the fact that Sidelines is a newspaper operated by and for the members of MTSG. Secondly, the newspaper gives ambitious students an opportunity to use the knowledge of journalism, photography and graphic arts in practical application. This year, the fall semester passed swiftly with not many changes other than the installation of a new Student Publications Coordinator to replace the outgoing coordinator, Frank White. David Badger, previously employed with the University of Tennessee at Nashville, assumed the vacant post. Mr. Badger had been an invaluable asset to the Sidelines staff, as well as other student publications. His advice has always been readily available to help guide students through areas of uncertainty concerning their work. Students reading Sidelines during the spring semester should have noticed a facelift of the newspaper. The new design for the newspaper involved some difficult decisions and hours of hard work, but the task was cheerfully accomplished by Elaine Wagner during her Christmas holiday. Miss Wagner is a professional designer who devotes all her time to teaching and assisting students learn as much as possible about graphic arts. Sidelines would like to express most sincere appreciation toward Miss Wagner for her diligent efforts. Sidelines would also like to thank Ann DeJarnatt, who kept the loose ends in the Student Publications department, tied up with long hours and admirable patience. Overall, the year has been a productive one for Sidelines and its staff. Unfortunately, the coming years may prove to be difficult ones in light of serious financial problems surrounding higher education. If future staff members are dedicated and determined as in the past, Sidelines will prosper and continue to achieve its Mark of Excellence. Commentary by David L. Randolph N Organizations 179 In The QkQ Of 180 MIDLANDER MEBLAKIB To Whom It May Concern: So you didn ' t think a sophomore could do it. did you? Just because I ' m young, doesn ' t mean I don ' t know what a yearbook should contain, cause boy did I ever learn during the past year. Of course, I ' ve not only learned a lot this year about editing a yearbook, but about a lot of other things on campus as well. I ' ve come to the conclusion that there are intelligent life forms at MTSU. but you have to get out there and search for them. And believe me. some of those intelligent beings don ' t work at MIDLANDER (although a few of them really do!) As editor. I was faced with dealing with people who did nothing. yet wanted a lot of glory (and money), and people who did ever-, thing, yet wanted no glory, or those people like Sarie and Jeff who did everything and wanted all the glory. But without you two kids, my parents would be setting one less place at the dinner table. Throughout all the work, the two of you kept things in perspective and without your ballet slippers and tap shoes, a lot of the fun would have been missing. As with any student publication, many people contribute to MID- LANDER ' S success. I would like to extend special thanks to General Carol A. Stuart of the First SIDELINES Regiment: Kevin Lowder and David Randolph for their graphics expertise and friendship; and Mark Holland for his help in all things photographic. Word of grati tude are also in order for our adviser, David Badger and student publications secretary Ann DeJarnett Pearce for keeping things from becoming chaotic; Elanie Wagner for her graphics consultia tion; Delbridge Studios, especially Dan, Kathy. Arlene and Paul, for providing us with excellent photographic assitance; and our men at Josten ' s American Yearbook Company. Johnny Lovier and Roger Baugh. Through all the trouble. Johnny provided a perfect example of calm, patience and fortitude and we appreciate him. I would also like to thank Linda for all the time and hard work she spent on the cover Very special thanks must be extended to Margaret. Vivian, Steph anie, and Joanna for providing me with shoulders to cry on and for being very special, understanding friends during this particularly trying experience. And to my parents, who understood my late hours and early mornings, who didn ' t lock me out of the house when I didn ' t arrive home on time, and who provided me with home cooked meals and transportation, I give them my love and heartfelt thanks. Finally, I have but one thing to say to those of you who are not mentioned: work harder and I ' ll mention you in print. Love and kisses.

The Creative Magazine Of Middle Tennessee State University Perhaps more so than any of the other student publications, the format of Collage is determined by its readers, who also serve as its writers, artists, photographers, and designers. Begun in 1968 as a supplement to Sidelines, the campus creative magazine has come into its own as the outlet for creative expression at MTSCJ. Zane E. Smith, a graduate student in history and a certified Fayetteville Freak, served as the magazine ' s 14th editor-in-chief. (Jnder his guidance. Collage shifted its emphasis from poetry to longer worl s of fiction and features, including interviews with celebrities Michael Murphy and Gene Cotton. 182 COLLAGE ' WJ ' ' . ' ' ■A- M r ' fh Bill Spurgeon, a senior graphic arts major, completely rede signed the layout of Collage, giving it a cleaner, more professional look. With the aid of the production staff, which included Kat Bailey, secretary Lisa Gwin, Midlander refugee Kathy Casity, computer kid Kevin Lowder, and never-present adviser David Badger, Collage was dramatically overhauled, moving in to the 1980s with a newly established identity and a firm self-confidence. Judges for the Associated Collegiate Press and the Sigma Delta Chi Mark of Excellence Contest have consistently ranked Collage as one of the premier publications of its kind in the nation.

Perhaps the sexual revolution has come full circle with some people simply tired of all this screwing around that ' s been going on. They ' ve decided to give up sex. come out of the closet and confess to the world that one-night stands and meaningless sex with strangers just don ' t fill the bill anymore. And with that, a whole new can of worms has been opened for the sex researchers and talk show hosts of the world. The new celibacy is upon us. You can kiss multiple or gasms and group sex goodby; say so long to the sensual massage and hello to purer relationships. Some of those who have say sleeping alone isn ' t so badonce you get used to it. According to author Gabrielle Brown, whose book The New Celibacy lists Andy Warhol and Johnny Appleseed among celebrity celibates, celibacy is an option that may offer some- thing to those who are ready for it. In her way of thinking. When you hit your limit with sex, instead of trying new and different positions, why not look for something else? Apparently, scores of people are now looking for something else. Frustrated with our society ' s preoccupation with sex, they are choosing to abstain from mindless encounters. In- stead, they are choosing to channel their sexual energy into more culturally stimulating areas such as the arts. Still, some observers contend that those persons who choose to be celibate do so simply out of fear that their sexual performance is lackluster. And lust is exactly what they are lacking. Frankly, I just don ' t know of anyone 1 want to go to bed with. Sure, there are some attractive people among my circle of friends, but no one sets my heart racing, said Maggie, a senior who is now celibate after several years of sexual activity. Her reaction would seem to bear out Brown ' s assumption that the sexual revolution has had an adverse effect on some of the revolutionaries. The endless search for the perfect sexual partner and the Big O have obscured the need to find love and devotion and the satisfaction of true sexual congress with the ideal helpmate. Brown further contends that many men choose celibacy because the pressure to perform sexual acrobatics renders them impotent. Face it. she urges her readers. It ' s a lot more interesting to be celibate than impotent. And. she offers, celibate men are more open to strong rela- tionships with women friends. That ' s ridiculous. said Sloan, a senior male who is not celibate. I have great relationships with women, simply be- cause I ' m able to distinguish between feelings of friendship and the feelings of sexual arousal. Not Doing It 307 308 Growing Up In Tennessee Growing Gp In Tennessee When I was asked to write about growing up in Chattanooga, all I could think of were cynical things to say about old Choo- Choo town I thought of how I feel about it now-a dirty, smoggy, commercialized industrial city where the debutantes come out once a year from their sheltered homes on the Mount so they can see their pictures in that epitome of country club journalism- the News-Free Press, while the rest of the peasants in the valley slave for the debutantes ' fathers in a steel refinery or paint factory and only get to see the side of the mountain, never climb it. I thought of how Chattanooga doesn ' t really seem to be a part of Tennessee, or for that matter, a part of the United States-that maybe it should be put on its own island. Then I realized that these judgments were ones I had made since I had grown up and left. The older, more cyncial person who came back to visit wasn ' t the same child who left. The child who left had loved growing up there Of course. 1 must take into consideration that anything seen through a child ' s eye is wonder- ful, fanciful and full of things to discover. Every once in a while. I try to retreat to that state of mind in order to keep my sanity: and when I do. my mind takes me to Chattanooga, to a time before I knew about political corruption, mountain aristocracy, and prep school pretense, to a time when smog was just a low- hanging cloud that kept me from seeing the mountains on a rainy day -Jackie Gearhart Senior English major Growing up in Murfreesboro. like any other small town, is filled with the warmth and wholesome atmosphere of rural coun- try living, but with the never-ending desire to get out! Due to the mixture of agriculture and industry. Middle Tennes- see is aglow with the resources necessary to fulfill most of our needs. School life in Murfreesboro entwines small town concepts with insights into a future filled with contemporary living. As we passed from adolescence into another epoch in our lives, whether the direction is toward college or the work force, we are faced with numerous complications and vices. However, the small town values with which we were raised, help to make us better prepared to greet the future headlong, rather than retreating from it. On a whole, growing up in Murfreesboro is a simple way of life-simple limes, simple pleasures, along with not always so simple problems are easily dealt with, becoming a part of the overall fabric of our lives. -Rosemary McKnight Junior Mass Communications Major Since arriving on the MTSCJ campus. I have been given the label, city girl Never before had I thought of Memphis as different from anywhere else Now I realize that growing up in a large city has really shaped the way I live and think I. like anyone in any town, know my stomping ground like the back of my hand, yet there are parts of Memphis I have never seen. There are so many schools in Memphis, I couldn ' t tell you where half of them are located. But I was lucky to have a zoo. museums and a wide variety of other activities to keep me busy and interested in life. I would not trade any of my experiences growing up in the city. and anyone who visits my city and dislikes it. simply didn ' t slay long enough. •Cathy Holmes McKnight December. 1980 graduate Growing Up In Tennessee 309 There is nothing in life more constant than : hange.

Only time will learn to master ... then The Best Of Families When I was growing up in a small Tennessee town, 1 was certain that fame and fortune would be mine if I could just make it to New York. That ' s what I thought while smothering in small town America, leafing through glossy magazines, seeing glamourous people doing glamourous things. My own version of the American dream was possible. I thought. If I could escape from the constraints of smalltown life. 1 first managed to make the break when I went away to college. There, I supposed, life would be more interesting and perhaps 1 would achieve quasi- fame. An escape from small town life was possible, because of the growth I was certain to experience during the four years spent in ivy-covered halls on a spacious Southern campus. When I first arrived on campus to buildings minus ivy, 1 began to worry that my quest for the dream would once more be delayed. And I was right. Eventually I got my big break. I was swept away from the dull, humdrum activity of small town life into the hustle and bustle of Mew York. Frightening though it was, I was determined to make it regardless of the obstacles I encountered. And 1 loved it. At first. On that cold winter day when 1 was trying to hail a taxi on a busy Mew York street, I began to have my doubts if I had indeed achieved my goal. My dream, I thought, may have turned into a nightmare. I was depressed. 1 was cold. And as 1 faced my first Christ- mas away from hearth and home. I seemed to have no prospects of lightening my mood in the near future. Although I had been in Mew York for more than three years, this was to be the first Christmas I had been unable to make the trip home to my mother ' s down home cooking and the warmth of family gather ing. Instead. I was faced with a Christmas Eve dinner at Rachel ' s. Rachel was my only friend from college who was adventurous enough to make the Mew York move with me The two of us. along with our respec- tive lovers, and various and sundry other emotional cripples would be spending the holiday together in a pseudo-family setting. The Mew York traffic, the scourge of so many pedestrians, was swelled three times beyond its usual teeming mass by the onslaught of holiday shoppers who were seeking the perfect holiday gifts at Macys, Saks, Tiffany, Gucci or Bendel. They would make their selections, pay the attractive salespeople wearing their bright holiday smiles, and return to their suburban homes to await the big day. 1 was in no mood to make small talk, something 1 would have to do if my lunch with Rachel was to be a pleasant one. I had a feeling she would be depressed as well and we would be, quite frankly, horrid com- pany. I resolved to adopt the same holiday facade which had been erected around the city by the mil- lions of other faced with a less than merry Christmas. When I arrived at Herlihy ' s. the crowds which were thronging the streets and shops had forgotten about lunch and an average crowd was lunching at the restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxed, the room was warm, and a smattering of conversation floated above the diners. As my feet began to thaw, so to did my bad mood and my facade of cheer became more natural. The fake smile with which I greeted the maitre d ' fooled even he who had been raised to be a snob and see through fake sincerity. In other words. I got a table with a view of the street, from which 1 could watch the scurrying shoppers being pelted by the snow which had been falling since mid-morning. I felt a perverse sense of pleasure seeing the shivering masses being covered by snowflakes. Would you like a drink before your guest arrives? the waiter asked. Mo, thank you, I ' ll wait. 1 answered. On second thought, bring me a double bourbon on the rocks. Very well. sir. My name is Jeff, I ' ll be your waiter today 1 shuddered as the waiter left my table. Waiters with names like Jeff or Eric are almost always would- be thespians who are supporting their drug habits by waiting tables, preying upon unsuspecting patrons, plying them with exquisite service, expecting in re- turn, of course, generous gratuities. 1 had a feeling I would not be grateful regardless of what Jeff-the- waiter promised. I dreamed of a society where he and others like him were non-existent. 1 was rather rudely interrupted from my reverie by Rachel. She arrived amid a flurry of cascading gifts and falling mufflers. She dropped her purse, tote bag and gloves, looked me square in the eye, and mut- tered, ' Who the hell ever thought Christmas in Mew York would be this much trouble? Sylvia Plath, maybe. Its good to see you cookie, ' 1 said, standing to give her one of my soap opera kisses. Did you get my gift yet? Who do you think I am? 1 can t do everything at once. How do you like my dress? Its an Adolfo. Who the hell do you have to screw to get a drink around here? she chattered. Lovely dress, but purple is not your color. White is more your speed, ' 1 joked. ' So you ' ve heard about Steve ditching me? she asked. Well. h esides Steve, what else is new? How ' s your work? ' Boring. 1 always thought being a commercial artist would be the answer to everything. But I ' ve found out differently. Drawing lines can be such a pain in the ass. 1 love your suit, is it new? Rachel ' s attention span is short, but at least she ' s always sure to notice my personal appearance and comment on it. ' It ' s a Calvin. He gave it to me for the spread we did on his resort line. I know it ' s unethical to accept free gifts, but what the hell. At least I can get into the best restaurants dressed like this. My discourse was interrupted by Jeff-thewaiter, who arrived menu in hand to begin his quest for the big tip. Rachel, on another of her constant diets. ordered Perrier with a twist and chicken salad, no dressing. On the other hand, I, being at the same weight 1 was in college, ordered salad, with dressing. Jeff-waiter, smiling ear to ear, assured us our drinks (by now 1 was ready for my second) would be on our table before we could blink. He lied. So, Chris, how ' s tricks? You still shacking up with tenny-bopper? Rachel quizzed. No, I got over my youth period. Mow Im into adults. Tm seeing another adult now and its wonder- ful. Its great to talk to people who aren ' t named Heather or Jill. So what ' s this adult do for a living? Produces shows for childrens television. I an- swered. A child molester, no less? Charming. Please, spare me the details, I can t take it. I picked up a beautiful pair of earrings for my mother, ' Rachel said, fishing a small box from within the confines of a shopping bag. Perrier with a twist an d double bourbon on the rocks, Jeff the-waiter said cheerfully. ' Thank you. Rachel, are you sure you want to unwrap those here. you ll be sure to lose them. Are you still fixing the Christmas Eve turkey? 1 asked, attempting to take her mind away from the Tiffany- wrapped package. Yeah, I guess. 1 told you I would, didn ' t 1? Are you bringing the child molester with you? I ' ll be sure no little kids are invited. Do you remember that party we went to at school when you started singing and dancing? ' 1 asked. Yes. Wasn ' t that right after you crawled under the table barking like a St. Bernard? I still don ' t think I did that, regardless of what anyone says. I retorted. You did it. trust me. How was your office Christ- mas party? ' Typical. Tve t)een working there for three years and every party I ' ve ever been to has been the same. When we were in college, parties were different. They were fun ... Except the parties you gave which were more like wakes, ' Rachel said. Et tu Brute? You always seemed to be happy as long as you had enough to eat and drink. But I was an unsophisticated boor then, just like everyone else, ' she said. Speak for yourself. Remember when we were in school and I was dating that guy from work, Roger. God, Id give ever- ything, anything to find someone who looks just like him. My idea of heaven would be that all the guys there looked like him, Rachel fantasized. I dream of a perfect society where all ugly and fat people are banned. The bad thing is we need ugly and fat people around to make me and you look good. 1 always thought the real world would be different. When youre in school everyone puts on much damn emphasis on personal appearance and breeding and The Best Of Families VAVy all that trivial bullshit. And you thought it wouldn ' t be like that after college? I don ' t think it ' s like that everywhere, but let ' s face it, in a job like yours, appearance has a lot of do with it. You do, after all. work for a magazine which caters to the narcisists in our society. ' Jeez. You ' ve been studying the dictionary or something? Steve was a philospher. you forget. Just at that moment, Jeff the waiter arrived with a gleam in his eye Apparently, he was loving the soap opera which was taking place at his station. Still actively seeking the big tip. he impeccably served our food, insisting that we should tell him if we needed anything. I can think of one thing I need, Rachel said, casting a leering glance toward Jeffthe-waiter ' s rear. That bad huh? Not really bad. I just miss Steve. I thought when I got out of college, Mr. Right would be waiting for me. I was wrong. Do you realize how disillusioning real life is. I mean, when we were in college we thought everyth ing would be peaches and cream when we got out. Damn, were we ever naive? I philosophized. Rachel mulled over my statement as she snared a grape from her chicken salad You know, if we could put all the food we ' ve eaten together since we ' ve known each other on a table, we could feed all the starving children in India the rest of their lives Wed upset the balance of nature, I offered. Tve been thinking about advertising in the personal sec tion of the Village Voice for friends. Isn ' t that how you found the teenybopjjer? Ra chel countered. No. it was through Brooke Shields. Teeny-bopper was a friend of Brooke ' s. My reputation will be ruined if I doni find a date for my Christmas Eve party. I guess I could always call up Phil or David, but Im hoping they ' re in suici- dal states over the holidays I could fix you up with someone. No thanks, I know your friends They ' re jerks Thank you They like you, loo. You know, we ' ve known each other for seven years and we never really approved of each other s friends. Rachel remembered. We only liked people we met together, I said. We ' re probably insecure. I hoped all our little insecurities would leave us as we got older I remember when I was little, though grown ups had no cares at all, I said We ' re all like that. I remember in third grade when Caria Estes knocked me down playing red rover. That was my picture of hell. The devil looked just like Carla9 years old, 200 pounds and mean as a snake. She even tore my new pink dress Then you moved to New York and found a differ ent CarIa on every frigging street corner. Yeah. The other day 1 was going through a drawer looking for something. And I ran across a picture of us at homecoming We looked so cute, dressed in our new clothes and grinning stupidly. We were really disgusting then We were innocents. We were anything but People use to come to us for sexual advice, remember? Rachel said. We may have known all there was to know about sex, but in other respects, we were innocents. We really didn ' t know how to deal with people. Rachel, can I ask you something? Sure, fire away Are you happy? I mean, really happy with your career and your life. With what you ' ve grown up to be? Rachel stopped eating momentarily, pondering my question, searching for an answer. She looked up and said, ever so softly, I guess. Is that all youve got to say about it? I implored. Well, yes. What do you want me to say? I don ' t know. Just how do you view yourselP Did you turn out the way you thought you would? When I was little, I wanted to grow up and get married and produce babies. Live in a little house with a picket fence and rose bushes As I got older, I thought a career would be the thing for me You know, making 25 thou a year, living in a nice apart ment, wearing nice clothes, with a steady stream of goodlooking guys. My lifes kinda like that now, mi nus the stream of guys. I guess I like myself, I mean my life, but I ' d like to be in love and have some babies Be a mom. How about you? she asked. When I was growing up, I wanted to be famous No matter how long it took, or what it took I was going to be rich and famous and live in New York Im living in New York, that much Ive accomplished, Im not rich or famous yet. but at least Tm on my way. I like my life, but I wish I werent so damn cynical about everything. Maybe I should start taking drugs, I said, Maybe Id be happier. There were absolutely no original thoughts expressed when we were in col lege. We simply mimicked each other. Now that Im a magazine editor and weilding all this miraculous pow- er, I can take chances. As long as you sell magazines, Rachel reminded me. Thats right. Were still constrained by social mo res. And middle class values, regardless of where we are or what we do. ' It happenes everywhere It happened when we were kids, when we were in college and now that we are quoteunquote career people, Rachel said. Career people. I hate that expression Sometimes I worry that my career is becoming too important to me, that its smothering me. There are a million things I have to do and this is the only afternoon this week I have off. What about you? Being one of the bosses means I get to leave whenever I feel like it Are you in love? she asked. As close as I ' ve ever come to it. But since Ive never really been there before, I ' m not sure. Maybe my glands are being over-productive and I ' m mistak- ing animal lust for true love, I answered. It ' s probably the result of wearing all those tight jeans in school. No, Im afraid its from all those nights spent alone. We have a great sex life. I hope this is the real thing, but Im not going to clear out any drawer space for a while yet. ' I was raised to be perfect. I was supposed to be the one to make it. When we were in school, everyone expected me to make it to the big time and I didn ' t want to fail them. And when I stumbled. I really felt lousy, I said. Rachel completed my thought: Because you were trying to live up to everyone elses expectations of you. ' My great expectations. I was Pip and everyone else was Miss Havisham. Very interesting allegory, Chrissy-boy. Listen, bubba, Ive really got to be running, Rachel said, gathering her parcels and packages, maneuvering gin gerly to make it out of the restaurant with everything she brought in. Til take care of the check. I offered. I was hoping you would. After all, you have an expense account and I don ' t, Rachel said, catching a falling glove before it hit the floor. She was gone in a flurry, sweeping out of Herlihy ' s like a fresh breeze of warm sea air in the cold New York weather. With her southern accent, eagerness and amazing business acumen, Rachel was on top of things. And any hint of depression or ill mood had been erased by the food and conversation. I put on my overcoat, suddenly realizing that during my talk with Rachel, the fake sincerety and the fa cade of holiday cheer I had adopted during the taxi ride had become genuine. I felt warm, though I was uncertain if it were due to the heating system on the bourbon. I was not depressed, my conversation and guarded self analysis having left me oddly reassured about the future. Jeff the-waiter made one last stop by the table while I was draining my glass of its last drops of bourbon. He assured me of the delight he had exper iencing while serving Rachel and me. I think he was lying, but I wasn ' t quite so sure. So I left him a more than generous tip Even waiters named Jeff must support their drug habits some way. c .. r [CLVVRKSVILLE 13 Jewel Cove nushn Cove OJMOEnLAM) rwB HARPETHfWET Monrgomery Oet Store ° 70T AVEMYi IV i S- ®S 13 ATXOOD51 [lTvrenceduRgI « l ■
