Northwest Missouri State University - Tower Yearbook (Maryville, MO)

Text from Pages 1 - 312 of the 1983 volume:

] H Under the trees and towers that are sym- bols of Northwest Missouri State Universi- ty, exsist a community of educators and students all striving to better themselves and preparing themselves to find their own space in the outside world. The cover of the 1983 Tower represents the view many people have of NWMSU. The trees represent the rural setting that has become a trademark of the institution. The towers, the four which top the Administra- tion building and for which this book is named, and the Bell Tower represent the the paths of the old and new which merge daily to create this unique and growing university. .

Some students know that a slower paced life ex- sists on campus on the weekends, and is usually more enjoyable. Their are always activities on cam- pus or in town that can always help to pack in a weekends social schedule. Students who stay also know that the rushing involved in leaving as soon as possible on Fri- day and the late night arrival on the following Sunday can leave some students wondering where the weekend had gone. Crowded parking lots and dorms are all a part of campus life. After the second or third week we settled into a fairly uncomplicated routine and all of these were only mild obstacles. Lines for cashing checks and meals were also an ex- pected part of life. Fo or those of us who Hve off campus, Packin It In certainly fit our lifestyles. Rush off to school in the morning, rush home for lunch than back to school again, all of this lead to a packed schedule. Also apartment living is often a crowded way to hve. Many of us shared apartments with many more people than was wise.

However, these living conditions were everyday experiences for the majority of students who lived on campus. As the housing requests flowed in for the fall of 1982, it was apparent a housing shortage exsisted. The main concern for Housing Director Bruce Wake was where to house the surplus 96 students. To ease the housing shortage, 66 temporary housing positions were created. Male students were housed anywhere space permitted, including lounges on the floors of phillips and dietrich halls. The second floor in Colbert Hall, which had previously housed women, was filled with male residents. Even though the lounges were spacious, there were numerous disadvantages. It is not a room, it has no furniture and storage, complained Molino, I leave everything in my suit case or throw it on my bed. What will be done if more students decide to live on campus! Currently, plans are in the process to remodel Cauffield Hall for housing. When completed, it will house between 25 to 30 residents. Along with this addition, another floor in Franken will be converted to male housing. -LouAnn Harr —8 Dorm Life Unpacking oncl pcxkecl in After a summer of recreation and relaxa- tion, college students were greeted with the task of moving back to school. For five days before classes started, park- ing lots and campus roads were jammed with cars waiting to be unpacked. The trips to and from the cars filled the dorm ' s sidewalks and stairs with some students looking for their rooms and others looking for old friends. Those loaded cars were originally hard to pack, but proved to be even harder to un- pack. Stereos, clothes, televisions and assorted junk seemed to fit well enough back home, but in half a dorm room things soon got more crowded than the parking lots. Each individual ' s personality shone through once the packing was done. . . beer lights; posters of Tom Selleck, athletes or Bo Dereck; plants, pictures of sweethearts or Mom. A student ' s imagination was nearly Kevin Kloecke and Steve Kinnison find weelcends at home more enjoyable than the ones spent at Northwest. Like many other suitcasers, they were faced with the drive home on Friday and then the return trip and unloading on Sunday. limitless when it came to converting a dorm room into a home. But for some males, there wasn ' t a dorm room to go home to. Because of an unex- pected surge of male residents, there weren ' t enough rooms to go around. Extras were stored in the high-rises ' lounges until there was more room. According to Bruce Wake, director of housing, every lounge in Phillips Hall and some in Dieterich were packed with two men each. Football player Dan Korff said he spent his first weeks at NWMSU in the North Complex with the rest of the players. But when school began, he had to pack his belongings and move to a lounge in Phillips until he was assigned a permanent room. It was better than sleeping outside, Korff said. Despite overcrowding, returning students were glad to be back to see old friends and to meet new ones. Drinking beers with my old friends was great, said Ed Taulli. It ' s great to be back.

Moving i n9 ' Maryviiio: The big little town Driving through Maryville on a Friday afternoon was often a time-consuming, patience-irying task. At 3:30 p.m., traffic jammed the intersection at First and Main streets, signaling a change of work shifts at Union Carbide. The cars of shoppers lined the streets and semis idled impatiently at stoplights. In August, however, an additional ele- ment was added; NWMSU students were back in town. The beginning of another school year meant more to Maryville than extra vehicles cramming the streets. The town also became a temporary home, new stomping grounds for many of Northwest ' s 5,160 students. Although Maryville was quite small com- pared to the cities many students came from, it offered many activities and continued to expand and renovate. Activities available to students ranged from roller skating at Skate Country to the ever popular bar, the Palms. Skating was reserved for those 18 and older on Wednes- day nights from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. The Palms, of course, was open for anyone over 21. Many more students spent their time - and money - in one of Maryville ' s three arcades, at the bowling alley, the theater, or in another of Maryville ' s bars. The Variety Club, the Pub, and the Monkey Tree seemed to have an almost endless stream of customers, and the movie theaters often had long lines of people waiting to buy tickets for shows. A night out on the town usually began with supper, and Maryville offered all the standard choices. Along Main Street and the four-lanes were pizza places, fast-food restaurants, steakhouses, and a couple more formal dining establishments. Added to these during the past year were two new eating places, both located on the uptown square. Chelos, a restaurant that served Mexican and American food, moved in on the east side, and an Oriental restaurant, Peking Gardens, opened its doors on the west. Directly between the new restaurants stood the Nodaway County Courthouse. In- terior remodeling had been done in previous years in the 100 year-old structure, but dur- ing the last two years the exterior had also been updated and repaired. A new roof was the first work done on the courthouse. This was followed by sand- blasting the bricks and repairing the con- crete. An acid solution was then used to treat the building, it was waterproofed and several new sidewalks were poured. The four-faced clock in the tower, which had been out of order periodically for several years, was also repaired. The clock chimed the hour as drivers waited for the stoplights to turn green. Heavy traffic poured out of town as employees got off work, shoppers cleared from the stores, and students headed home at the end of finals week. Some would renew their aquaintance with Maryville again in the fall, and for others, the town would simply remain a part of their memories. -Barbie Cowan i ' Typing a term paper in a friend ' s apartment keeps Mark Yager busy.

Bicyclists, shoppers and cars share Main Street on a typical Friday afternoon. Home on your own Living off-campus was considered an ideal opportunity to party and party with no dorm restrictions, no RA ' s and no write-ups. Off-campus students did have more freedom; however, having an apartment, trailor, or house involved more responsibili- ty as well. Keeping the bills paid was the biggest headache for most of those living off cam- pus. At the beginning of the month the rent, telephone, water, cable TV and electric bills were due. To pay these, many students held a part-time job or worked during the sum- mer and saved money for their fall expenses. Work study, athletic scholarships, a spouse working, or mooching from Mom and Dad helped out for others. Donna Albers and Lisa Wessel, who shared an apartment, said to save money they avoided buying junk food, rarely turn- ed on the TV, walked rather than driving and didn ' t turn on the heat until the temperature in their apartment dropped to 45 degrees. Living off-campus had advantages as well as added responsibility. Albers and Wessel agreed that they got along better than if they had shared a dorm room. They attributed this complacency to the extra space and privacy in their apartment. There ' s more room to be yourself w ithout infringing on someone else ' s lifestyle, said Albers. Even with scrimping to pay bills, few students would move back into the dorms after a taste of living off-campus. When I lived in the dorms it felt like I was always at school. Living off-campus I could come home and leave school behind, Wessel con- cluded.

Mees cited several factors for the increased enrollment at Northwest. I think one of the major factors that caused an enrollment increase was our recruitment, he said. The admissions department, faculty administration committee, department heads and administrative staffs, and students in general have all played an important part. We also made an effort to increase enrollment of international students at Northwest, he said. Mees said the economy did have an impact on many students. The university has attempted to provide ecomonic options for students, he said. We have work study and alos an installment plan whereby students pay a part of their fees once a month. Zella Mothershead, director of financial aid, also dealt with many changes in eligibility for financial aid in 1982 with the enrollment increase. Even with all the cuts, we were able to meet most of the students needs, she said. All summer long students were looking for financial aid, she said. Some students transferred from more expensive private schools in favor of Northwest ' s lower cost. 1 think another reason for the high enrollment was that students couldn ' t find jobs, she said. Besides students being without jobs, Ms. Mothershead said she talked to many fathers over the summer who were also without jobs due to the economy. While that is a sad fact, Ms. Mothershead was positive. More families had to look to their own resources this year, she said. I don ' t think that it is all bad though. The family unit is now all striving for the child ' s education--not just little Johnny himself. A men ' s housing shortage plagued the campus at the beginning of the fall semester which resulted in approximately 62 men being housed in overflow areas in Cobert hall and floor lounges in various dorms, said Dr. Mees. To aid in the housing situation, Roberta Hall which was only half renovated was reopened to all the sororit ies. Mees said plans were started to make future housing more flexible. Hopefully, enrollment will keep increasing, he said, but it ' s difficult to maintain that kind of increase year after year, he said. -Teresa Kincaid (Vowded parking conditions in front of Phillips Hall reflect the high student enrollment.

This year ' s emcees, Dan Bolhken and John McKenna, hosted the show, which featured Greek and Independent groups par- ticipating in skits based on popular musicals. Arnie, the story of a little orphan boy, earned the men of Delta Chi a tie for first place along with the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity, who performed in Damm In- dians. Franken Hall took first place honors in the Independent skit class, while the Bear- cat cheerleaders won the best oleo act. Deborah Catron, a senior elementary education major, was crowned the 1982 Homecoming Queen at the Variety Show on Wednesday night. Catron, a member of the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, was sponsored by Alpha Kappa Lambda. Her attendants were Laura Corken, Angle Crouse, Lana Galm and Toni Prawl. ■18- Homecoming lomecomins ' 82 ( ' () Catron reigned over the Homecoming ac- tivities for the rest of the week, including the parade on Saturday. Floats, clowns, jalopies and marching bands provided the entertain- ment for the Homecoming parade, each reflecting the musical theme of the week. High school marching bands throughout the area, including the Bearcat marching band, delighted crowds lining the streets of the parade route. On Friday, two Northwest alunmi wete- post-humously inducted into the University ' s M-Club of Fame. The late Wilbur Sparky Stalbup, a 1932 graduate holds the greatest record as a Northwest basketball coach. His teams posted a 137-56 record, during his 1933 to 1943 tenure, winn- ing two MIAA titles.

He won 17 MIAA track titles and set eight school records, while at Northwest. He won NCAA and AAU triple jump titles in 1936 and 1937. Saturday afternoon, 7,500 fans gathered at Rickenbrode Stadium as Head Coach Jim Redd and the Bearcat football team hosted Southeast Missouri State University. The Bearcat game plan proved faulty, as the In- dians handed Northwest a 44-21 defeat. Senior Todd Murphy completed eight of thirty passes for 190 yards and one touchdown. Bryan Shaw returned three punts for 103 yards, including a 76 yard run for another touchdown. Junior running back Dale DeBourge gained 71 yards on just 12 carries and was presented the Don Black Memorial Trophy at halftime for being the game ' s Most Valuable Player. The band Festival, featuring former Nor- thwest students and alumni, joined the Mar- ching Bearcats during halftime to entertain the Homecoming crowd with a selection of hits from the award winning country and western singing group, The Oak Ridge Boys. After the game, the M-Club and the Booster Club held a reception. Duane Dick and the Jive Five and along with the Belairs entertained the crowd in Lamkin Gym with the Homecoming concert. First place in house decoration for Greek organizations went to Phi Sigma Epsilon, while South Complex took top honors among the Indpendents.

The audiance keeps the dancers going during the late hours. Rock around the clock Seventy-seven dancers raised approx- imately $6,050 to benefit muscular dystrophy in the Sixth Annual Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon, held in Lamkin Gymnasium, November 19 and 20, said Paul Bellman, co-chairman of the event. A lot of time and planning went into the event to make it a success, said Bellman. Jodi and I started planning some last spring, but we really started on the details in September. Bellman, along with Jodi Stroud, co- chaired the event. This was the second year that the Alpha Kappa Lamda frater- nity and their little sisters sponsored it. Everyone did a great job, said Bellman. We had a lot of cooperation from campus organizations as well as area businesses. The marathon began at 6 p.m. on Fri- day, with 34 couples registered and ended at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Only four people dropped out before it was over, said Bellman. The prize for the couple that collected the most money was a ski trip to Colorado with the Outdoor Program, he said. The second prize was a weekend for two at the Sheraton Royal in Kansas City. Two tickets to a King ' s basketball game were awarded to the third place couple. IPC, Panhellenic Council and IRC sponsored a Casino Night which raised about $67, he said. KDLX provided most of the music for the event, but two local bands. Tempest and Grand Junction, helped to liven things up. Tempest was excellent, said Bellman. Grand Junction played mostly country music and a lot of dancers didn ' t really know how to dance to it, said dancer Katie Klausen. Gina Hawk, one of the dancers, taught everyone basic country and western steps. Bellman said. That was pretty fun. Area restaurants furnished pizzas for the dancers and ARA provided breakfast for them. The food was great, said Klausen. Other activities that kept the dancers going throughout the night included a free- throw contest, country and western hour, a 50 ' s and punk contest, hoola- hoops, frisbees and other games, Bellman said. One game that got everyone closer was when we divided ourselved into teams, stuck toothpicks in our mouths and pass- ed Lifesavers to each other using only the toothpicks, he said. That game went really fast. That game was really wild, said Klausen. I almost kissed a guy I didn ' t even know. I really liked it this year, said Klausen. It didn ' t seem as long as last year. There was always a crowd there to watch and that really kept us going. Bellman said he had a lot of fun doing it, but was relieved when it was all over. I didn ' t really get that tired, said Klausen. My feet hurt, but I even went out and danced some more after it was over. -Teresa Kincaid i - 1 A Dog ' s memory lives after 66 years i. To the right of the drive as one ap- proaches the turn-about at the east en- trance of the Administration buildirigs is a tiny monument bearing this in- scription: MIKE To the Memory of our Dog Died May 15, 1917 The monument honors the little tramp dog that came to the campus one day, liked college life, endeared himself to students and faculty alike, and became an integral and indispen- sable part of the institution, accor- ding to contemporary reports. But the little grayish dog, whom somebody The Bearcat ' name debuts during 1916 Before 1916, the athletic teams of the Fifth District School had no real name. They were usually referred to by local newspapers as the Normals ; by newspapers in towns putting up- town or high school teams against them as the Pedagogues ; and fre- quently, in a somewhat derisive man- ner, as the Ham Fats. A name was needed, but nobody seemed to think of a good one. By 1915, Coach Walter Hanson had developed some pretty good fighters in his team. In that year the basketball team had played the Panthers from Drury College, Springfield, in Maryville, tying the vistors 14-14 at the end of the first half and losing to them in the second half, the final score being 33 for Drury, 28 for the Normals. On February 25 of that year Coach Han- son ' s team tied Drury for the state pen- nant by defeating Missouri Wesleyan at Cameron. The next day, however, they were beaten by William Jewell, thus giving the year ' s pennant to Drury. But the rugged Normals had made a reputation for themselves with the Drury coach and his team. On January 20, 1916, Coach Hanson and his team arrived in Springfield to meet the Panthers on their home court. When Dan Nee, The Drury coach, met Mr. Hanson, he said, Heilo, Walter, have you got your fighting bearcats all keyed up for the big game tonight? Mr. Hanson on his return to Maryville told the story: and the Normal School- now the State College-adopted the ap- pelation Bearcats, for i ts own. By the beginning of the football season that year, the pep squads were yelling, Eeeeeeeat ' em up Bearcats! Only once in the history of the Col- lege has the name been challenged. In 1926, when two coaches, H. Frank Lawrence and Paul R. Jones, tried to get the College colors changed, they tried also, in the petition, to induce the College to replace the name Bearcats with the name Wildcats, on the argument that there was no such animal as a bearcat and, therefore, the name was mean- ingless. It was not meaningless to students and alumni who had seen the fighting spirit of the Bearcats, and they told the coaches with no uncertainity that they would not change the name for wildcat or any other animal. Some of the students did some research and came up with the an- nouncement that there really is an animal known as the bearcat. His characteristics, they declared, is that he is hard to capture and harder to hold when captured-a fitting description of College sportsmen on the gridion or the basketball court. -Behind the Birches by Mattie Dykes christened Mike, Visted around at night, first at the home of one faculty member and then another, returning frequently to the homes where he like his bed and board. Mike was athletic minded, never missing a home game and proudly wearing his green and white blanket with its M on either side. Sometimes he went to classes, usually on cold, blustery days. His favorite seat was under the instructor ' s desk. He often made field trips, sometimes by himself, often with classes. On May 15, 1917, he joined the agriculture class that was spraying fruit trees with arsenate of lead. Mike got thirsty. Not being very good in chcniistry, he did not know the charcter of arsenate of lead and tied it to quench his thirst. Nothing that the students or the veterinary they called did could save the life of the college pet. A little box bearing the phrase For the Love of Mike appeared shortly in the Administration building; and with the money it collected the students erected the monument that marks the spot where they buried Mike. Since 1917, dogs have come and gone on the campus, but only Mike has had the distinction of being universally known as the College Dog. -Behind the Birches by Mattie Dykes Bobby Bearcat bears the name for NWMSU ' s varsity teams.

Northwest colors change to estabUsh identity G Green and white, the colors of the Northwest Missouri State College [now NWMSU], were not always the school colors. In 1906 when the Fifth District Normal School opened, red and white were selected as the school colors. The whole town of Maryville decorated in red and white for the laying of the cor- nerstone of the Administration building on October 12, 1907. Sometimes among the keepsakes, a red and white pennant appears. In the summer of 1910, two girls who wanted a pennant and could not afford to buy one, got scraps of felt and made one for their room. Before the year was out, the colors were changed and their pennant lost its significance. When the colors were chosen, nobody seemed to realize the confusion that would arise from the fact that red and white were also colors of the Maryville high school. The Normal School students, wanting to establish their identity, asked for new colors, and Hettie M. Anthony, head of Domestic Science department, as it was then called, and Frank Zimmerer, head of the Art department, were asked to be a committee to make recommenda- tions. They suggested green and white, and their selection was approved in the fall of 1910. Pennants were ready for the trackmeet in the spring, and rings and pins with the Missouri seal and the Normal School colors were made. A lama Mater Let your voices loudly ringing, echo far and near.

The Northwest campus is just such a find. When talking about historical buildings at Northwest, it ' s only logical to begin with the Thomas Gaunt House, said Tom Carneal, history instructor at Northwest. Its completion date was 1873, and that date was written in white brick on the structure ' s west side. Carneal said that today only the first three numbers remain because of the addition of a window in that spot. The Gaunt house was part of the original property purchased and given to the state, he said. It has served as the home for all the univer- sity ' s presidents. Thomas Gaunt, the original owner, was a native of Staffordshire, England. He immigrated to the United States in 1853 and by 1857 had established the Gaunt Nursery on the Northwest site. The dwelling is a two-story brick structure constructed generally in the Greek Revival style. It is located at 703 College Ave. and is listed in the National Register of Historical Places. It is located at 640 College Ave., across the street from the Gaunt House. The Hickory Grove school is a historical structure moved on campus in 1970, Carneal said. The school was built in 1883 and is owned by the Nodaway County Historical Society. It is maintained on campus by a con- tract agreement with the society. The school, originally located about Ifi miles from Maryville, was moved to a site near the campus steam plant. People can visit the school by ap- pointment with me, Carneal said. It is also open for meetings. The oldest educational campus structure is, of course, the Ad- ministration building. At one time, it contained virtually everything on campus, Carneal said. Work on the Ad building founda- tion began in February 1907. A red granite cornerstone was laid in Oc- tober of the same year and contained a copper box with various items such as money and newspapers. A budget crunch caused the school to run out of funds before the building could be completed, Carneal said. Construction was stopped June 18, elm disease, Carneal said. Trees are not the only plants that have made campus history. During the bad years of the 1930s, the ground around the ' long walk ' was plowed up and corn was planted. The school year was once even changed around to accommodate heating problems, he said. Today, that wouldn ' t really solve anything because we have so many more students. Northwest also served as a public service foundation when the core part of Wells Library and Horace were built as WPA projects under the New Deal administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Service was also paid to the WWII effort with the four buildings known as the quads The quaas were built for training WWII officers, so they ' re about 40 years old, Carneal said. After the war, they were used a dorms up to around 1970. Homes for returning WWII veterans and their wives also existed post-war behind the Ad building. These were never meant as perma- nent structures. It was just kind of a little village foi; the vets with families Another generally unkown fact is that the college pond is actually Lamkin Lake. Carneal also mentioned a building existing near the campus that served as a seminary before the University was chartered in 1905. It was just south of the campus on what is now Memory Lane, Carneal said. It was torn down dur- ing the 1920s but the bricks were used in constructing the northwest part of Thompson-Ringold Industrial Arts building. The present Alumni House, pur- chased by the Alumni Association in 1980, is another historical building at Northwest. The house was built around 1926. Carneal said. It is a two story brick structure originally owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Townsend. The Townsends also owned Townsend Wholesale grocery and Faustian horse farms. Townsend left the house to his son, Bohm, who resided there until 1980. 1908 but was resumed in August 1909. The building was created in Tudor or Gothic style. Carneal mentioned that he had been working on material to register it as a nationally historic site when the 1979 fire partially destroyed it. When the Ad building first open- ed up, the ' long walk ' from College Ave. to the building was not paved and students had a muddy pathway during wet weather, Carneal said. Planks were finally put down and a walk was then put in. Carneal also said that trees have been a long-standing part of Nor- thwest, mostly because of the Gaunt nursery first on the grounds. Mr. Gaunt was kind of the Earl May of the 1870 ' s. Since that time, putting in trees in various spots has been kind of a tradition. At one time, elm trees lined the ' long walk ' but they eventually died off due to Dutch who wanted to attend school, he said. Another generally unkown fact is that the college pond is actually Lamkin Lake. The lake was dug under the ad- ministration of Uel Lamkin. It was a logical spot because it was a natural drainage area, Carneal said. However, every time the area was filled with water, it mysteriously disappeared within about two days or so. It was later discovered that Gaunt had tiled the land for his nursery to creat drainage. The tiles were just do- ing the original job. Helen Leeper The Administration Building is the most obvious old building on campus. This picture shows how the building looked during the 1924-25 school year.

Lewis was was captured in a New York City library after a librarian recognized him from wanted posters. After his arrest, his wife Leann flew to Chicago and turned herself in to authorities. Lewis alledgedly placed cyanide into several bottles of Tylenol and returned them to store shelves. He also is believ- ed to have written a letter to the Johnson and Johnson Co., makers of the Tylenol capusles, demanding $1 million to stop the killings. After receiving the nations attention, other incidents of package tampering spread throughout the nation. A package of cookies laced with acid caused harm to a Massachusetts child while a California resident recieved eye damage from an acid laced bottle of eye drops. -Debbie Eatock The new kid in Londontown Clark receives first artificial heart implant The birth of Prince William, heir to the British throne, at 9:03 p.m. on June 21, 1982, was greeted by artillery fire and the ringing of bells all across the United Kingdom. Parents Prince Charles and Princess Diana had taken lessons in natural childbirth, and Prince Charles was in the room through all six hours of labor. The next evening. Princess Diana left the hospital with their blue-eyed, blond-haired son, for their home in Kensington Palace. The future king received over 2,000 gifts, most of which were sent to hospitals and or- phanages. Genealogists said the prince is 58.8 percent British. His ancestors include: William the Conqueror, Count Dracula, Genghis Khan, Winston Churchill, Charlemagne and George Washington. Judging from his parent ' s backgrounds, the young prince should have a less secluded upbringing than any other monarch. For instance. Princess Diana decided her son will travel on state tours with his parents.

Commentators noted that Prince WiUiam will turn 21 in the year 2000, making him a man of the 21 st century.

Clark ' s natural heart was ruined by the degenerative heart disease of car- diomyopathy. Since the operation Clark has fought complications. First, he suf- fered a chemical imbalance which caused convulsion and mild kidney failure. Later on Clark developed pulmonary edema or fiuid in the lungs. Meanwhile, Clark ' s new heart hasn ' t skipped a beat. In Febrauary Clark began an exer- cise routine that included walking with assistance and pedaling an exercise cy- cle. -Debbie Eatock War again Argentina began a geography lesson for the world on April 2, 1982 as they seized control of the British held Falkland Islands. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher responded to the take over by sending 27,000 soldiers to the South Atlantis aboard warships, submarines and two converted luxury liners. The armada reached the islands in the late of April and fought their way to the capital, Port Stanley, by early June. Some 255 British troops and 746 Argentines died in the battle, as did three residents of Fort Stanley. The British retained their island ter- ritory and their international pride. -Debbie Eatock 30b; Cardindls take Series Winter misfires For 1982, weather in the Midwest remained surprisingly routine. This winter the area seemed to escape most of the snow and below-freezing temperatures that students shivered through last year. As of Feb. 28, 1983, the Missouri Air National Guard at Rosecrans Field in St. Joseph reported a total of 21.45 inches of snow for the winter. That compares with about 16 inches of snow reported last winter by the St. Joseph Street Department. The difference this year has been the early warm temperatures which have melted the snow soon after it fell. The majority of the area ' s snow fell between Jan. 26 and Jan. 31, with about 12-16 in- ches in that five-day period. Temperatures into the 50s and 60s soon after that melted all traces of winter. -Debbie Eatock Marty Mincer has the tedious task of shoveling the sidewalks on the Nor- thwest Missouri State Campus.

Power verses speed, a team owned by a man anmed Bud verses a team owned by a man who made Bud, a Whitely ' s Rugburners verses Harvey ' s Wallbangers all described the 1982 World Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals. Not since the Los Angeles Dogers and the Minnesota Twins met in I ' SCi had baseball seen such a power struggle clearly defined as the ' 82 Series. The Cardinals started ' off getting bombed 10-0 in the opening game in St. Louis, but came back to take the Series four games to three. The Cardinals pulled it out due to many things. Darrell Porter, not a Cardinal favorite with the fans, came through with timely hitting. Bruce Sut- ter used some clever relief work as Joquain Andjuar, who hadn ' t won a game in two months provided the starting pitching despite getting nailed in the knee. Milwaukee seemed to have a lot of things going for them, but they couldn ' t pull it up when they needed it. After Milwaukee won the fifth game, the odds were on their side. In the past 30 World Series, if the two teams were tied after two games and again after four games, the team that won the fifth game won the series 23 times. But it was not meant to be. It was also a game of the monsoon rains. In game six, the Cards needed a win. They got it, but had to wait some seven hours to get it after the game was halted three times for about five hours. Darrell Porter took home the MVP honors, as well as silencing some of the Cardinal fans. Porter and his timely hit- ting (five RBI ' s) made Him the man of the hour, but it could have went to a flock of other Cardinals too. Milwaukee hung tough. Long Known for their hitting, they also discovered the art of defense. In game five, the Brewers came up with six defensive gems that saved numerous runs, enabling the Brewers to take a short-lived lead. St. Louis knew how to celebrate too. A victory parade of approximately 200,000 lined the streets to show their support to their Cardinals--champions of baseball. -Dwayne McClellan Newsi New JobStA thing of the post? As unemployment in the United States reached the 11 percent mark, Americans began to doubt the politics of President Reagan. The morale of the country weakened as over 11,500, 000 citizens re- mained unemployed. Not since the days of Great Depression has the United States faced as many unemployment problems as in 1982. Although the entire country was affected by the recession, the Midwest suffered larger amounts of plant closings, layoffs and bankruptcies. Therefore, many Midwestners were found traveling to areas that were thought to be pro- sperous. Unfortunately, after a short period of time, even the Sun Belt area became clut- tered with job-hungry Americans. As unemployment figures rose, President Reagan desperatrly attempted to create new jobs by endorsing a highway and mass transit repair program that he said could stimulate 320,000 new jobs. Much to the chagrin of Maryville residents, the Presi- dent failed to create any new jobs in this area. Instead, Maryville was faced with ma- jor layoffs at large factories such as Uniroyal. Although Northwest students were surrounded by unemployment problems in Maryville, many students didn ' t seem too concerned about getting a job. One stu- dent even laughed when ap- proached with the question of unemployment. I ' m not really aware of the unemployment problem, laughed Deb Reece, because I ' ve got a guarenteed job this summer, and haven ' t had to search for another position. Looking for jobs became a past-time for many college students, unfor- tunately there were not many jobs to be had. Surprising, most students did not seem to be very con- cerned about the current reces- sion. Scott Vyskocil, certainly took an optomistic approach toward the country ' s pro- blems. I ' m not really worried about unemployment, because supposedly the job market will be much brighter when I com- plete my studies at Northwest, said Vyskocil. While some students were extremely optomistic, some were not as hopeful. On such student. Amy Jones, expressed her concern over unemploy- ment. It is really hard to be motivated and put out the money for an education when there is little chance of you getting a job within your own field. It seems like a waste of time. One student felt as if the economy was forcing him to attempt extra academic studies. First of all, I ' m an accounting major, and because of the current unemployment crisis I feel it is necessary for me to improve my status in the job market by taking a few extra classes to in- sure my CPA. Finally, Kevin Hulsebus said, Hopefully, things will improve in the future! If I ' m not able to find a job within my area of Agricultural Business, I will have the op- tion of farming. It ' s nice to have something to fall back on during times of trouble. -John McKenna 32 News • Thomsen to replace Redd Jim Redd ended all the speculation of the head coaching spot on the Nor- thwest Missouri State Univer- sity football team as he an- nounced his resignation November 1. Vern Thomsen, a highly successful community college coach, was named to replace Redd, who ' s final team went 2-7-1 in 1982. I didn ' t feel that I had the complete support of the cur- rent athletic director (Richard Flannagan) and the university president, Redd said in ex- plaining his resignation. I felt they didn ' t have the con- fidence in me as a coach nor the financial support that I needed to get the job done. Redd completed the full cir- cuit for Northwest. He graduated from Northwest in 1966, served as a Bearcat foot- ball assistant from 1966-75 and took over the coaching reigns in 1976. Thomsen came to Nor- thwest from Ellsworth Com- munity College in Iowa. At Ellsworth, Thomsen ' s teams went 59-12-1. Five of his teams were ranked in the NJCCA top 10 and this past year ' s team received an invitation to the Junior Rose Bowl. I ' m not going to wait three years to have a successful pro- gram, Thomsen said. We ' re going to start now. Thomsen decided to keep assistant Paul Read and Bob Green. Both men ' s contracts were terminated when Redd steoDcd down in November. -Dwayne McClellan Bryant dies College football received some shock- ing news January 28 when Paul Bear Bryant died at a hospital in Tuscaloosea, Alabama at the age of 69. Bryant had coached at the Universi- ty of Alabama for the past 25 years before announcing his retirement dur- ing the course of the 1982 season. Ray Perkins, coach of the New York Giants in the National Football League, was his replacement. Bryant passed Amos Allonzo Stage as the winningest coach in college football, with 314 wins. Bryant recorded his 323 and final collegiate win in the Liberty Bowl when the Crimson Tide defeated Illinois. Bryant was a native of Fordyce. -Dwayne McClellan Video games eat up SS The 1982-83 school year marked the beginning of one of the stronger fads in American history... video games. People of all ages could be seen play- ing video games at arcades across the nation, and with the help of such com- panies as Atari, they were even able to purchase a favorite version of a video games. The arcade located in the J.W. Jones Union found new success, while several arcades in Maryville prospered due to the new innovations in video games. Such games as Pac Man, Asteroids and Donkey Kong made for popular bar consevations. Although video games became a norm for col- lege students. Northwest students ex- pressed mixed emotions. Personally, I can ' t see how people can get any satisfaction from playing video games. It seems to me that there is more sensible things to spend money on, said freshman Deb Parsons. It seems to me that the current in- flationary state has brought on the craze of video games. People don ' t seem to mind throwing quarters into a machine, commented Doug Herrold, a junior. Sophomore, Laura Carson added, I ' m not what you would consider an avid fan of video games. It ' s just that I refuse to budget my time around something so meaningless. It has spurted a lot of new innova- tions in home computers, said Ric Hunt, a junior. Other than that, I don ' t really feel they are too beneficial. Equol rights not for Q As the June 30 deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Admendment approached, supporters grasped at any way to gain votes. One group of supporters went as far as to stage a sit-in at the Illinois State House. Other pro-ERA people fasted as the day approached, but these displays of support proved futile as the deadline passed without the admendment having enough support. Despite polls that showed that two- thirds of U.S. men and women ap- proved the passage of the admend- ment. The admendment fell short of the required 38 states by 3. But within two weeks the admendment was re- introduced by 157 congressmen and 46 senators in a joint resolution. However, ERA opposition leader Phyllis Schlafly said, ERA is dead for now and forever in this country. -Debbie Eatock Endings The school year of 1982-83 brought the deaths of some well known and not so well known as well as some cjose and some not so close people.

News 33- E.I ' leads the fads in 1982 The year ' s most popular phrase was probably E.T. phone home. The box office success of the movie E.T. spawned a craze of E.T. pro- ducts. The stores were full of E.T. calendars, dolls, books, notebooks, mugs, pajamas and posters to name a few items. The January 1983 issue of Life also said that since the movie debuted, the sale of Reese ' s Pieces candy increased by 65 percent. Another fad which struck this year was the small purple figures known as Smurfs. In- vented in 1957 by a Belgian cartoonist, the Smurfs came to America in 1981 in the form of a Saturday moring cartoon show. A phenomenon from Southern California that spread across the country was the Valley Girl. The lifestyle of these teenagers who spend their free time in the shopping malls of the San Fernando Valley was described in the hit single Valley Girls by Moon Unit Zappa and her father Frank Zappa. The words totally, awesome, for sure, and tubular all gained new meanings in America ' s vocabulary because of this song. This year also saw the conti- nuing popularity of cat calen- dars and books. Buyers could choose from The 101 More Uses for a Dead Cat calen- dar, the Official I Hate Cats Calendar, or several Gar- field calendars. Fashion at Northwest con- tinued to be dominated by the Preppy look, with some addi- tions. Leg warmers to wear over jeans, as well as for exer- cising , were big, as was a fan- cier look in sweatsuits, design- ed to be worn everyday. Designer jeans were still a must, while prarie skirts were popular in the summer and fall. Mjnffm-i Top ten in hardcover r I CT lOfl -Hammond 1982 Almanac 1 . Hotel New Hampshire by John 2.

Many students kept portable televi- sions in their rooms to allow them to keep track of their favorite shows. The 1982 television season will be remembered for several reasons. It saw 60 Minutes consistently finish at the top of the ratings, along with Dallas, The Jeffersons, Three ' s Company, and M.A.S.H. This was also the season that saw surprising- ly low ratings for pro-football after the strike was settled. Northwest students also saw some of their favorite pro- grams leave the air. This season studetns watch- ed as Captain Barney Miller closed the door on the 12th precinct for the last time. In the last episode, the old station house set of Barney Miller was designated a historical landmark and the bizarre group of detectives were sent to different precincts. After eight years, creator and pro- ducer Danny Arnold thought the show should end before the quality suffered. Another group of crazy characters who didn ' t return to the screen were the employees of radio station WKRP in Cincinnati. A victim of falling ratings, WKRP is now in syndication. But, the most regretted departure was probably that of M.A.S.H. After 11 seasons on the air the final show was aired February 28 in a two and one-half hour movie which showed the characters as they tried to adjust to the end of the war. Both daytime and nightime dramas, or soap operas, re- mained popular with Nor- thwest students. One avid Dynasty fan said, I guess I like it because I like to watch all the nastiness the characters do to each other. In daytime soaps, viewers of General Hospital learned of the death of Laura and were introduced to the new character of Holly Sutton, who became Luke ' s new love. Whatever type of programs appeal to the students at Nor- thwest, not many rooms are without a television set. Northwest students watch the final episode of M ' A ' S ' H, Feb. 28, on the Student Union Board ' s new big screen television. The M A S H Bash was sponsored by South Complex ' s hall council. News 35 PEOPLE It is the individuals that make Northwest a university. It is the ideas and values that we bring here with is that create the interesting enviroment in which we learn and live. Each person seeks different goals, but each of us strive to reach the same while here on campus, that of friendship. College is usually many of ours first experiences at being away from home and on our own. Many of us have to adjust our lifestyles to meet our class needs, but we are in control, and we decide our own priorities. We are packin ' in the friends, the good times and the freedom. •36: People Graduates inspired by words carved in stone. . . D THE TIUTH SHALL MIKE YO 1 Dr. Anita Aldrich, a 1936 graduate of Norhtwest Missouri State University, was the speaker for the May 8 Commencement at NWMSU. ' She ' is professor of physical education and professor of education at Indiana University, Bloomington. Dr. Aldrich used the quotation, And the Truth Shall Make You Free, which is inscribed above the entry to the Ad Building, in her commencement address to the nearly 650 degree candidates for 1982. Truth is the basis of a philosophy, said Dr. Aldrich. It is a quest and a foundation through life. Truth leads to competence, to intellectual and physical freedom, and it strives to bring order out of chaos. Freedom is not being able to do anything one wants to do, continued Dr. Aldrich, it means being able to do the things one ought to do. After her speech, Dr. Aldrich was honored by President Dr. B.D. Owens with the University ' s Distinguished Alumni Award for her contributions in the fields of teaching and educational administration. John Dunlap, Stewartsville, a former member of the NWMSU Board of Regents was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award and the Distinguised Service Award. Mary Linn, Princeton, a former member of the NWMSU Board of Regents, also received the Distinguished Service Award. -Pat Reves Surrounded by nervous girls, Steve Humphrey stands calmly in line. ■3 8- Graduation Graduation Timothy Crowley Kevin W.

Direct way to pay While many students scramble for a way to meet college expenses, the position of hall director can make studies affor- dable. Phillip ' s hall director Tim Crowley said he chose Northwest because of the master ' s program offered in psychological counseling and the opening for a hall director. Crowley said that while this was his se- cond year at Northwest, hall dirctors are limited to taking six hours of classes a semester, so he will earn his master ' s degree in May of 1984. To me the most significant difference about being a graduate student is the courseload, Crowley said. The course work is a lot more intense and developed. Terry Long, also completed her second year serving as Hudson hall director. Long, a graduate of Drake University in Des Moines, said she sent a letter of in- terest and a resume to Northwest, to first apply for the position. Then she drove down for an interview with Housing Director Bruce Wake and other hall direc- tors. Long took two classes and worked six hours a week for a management intern- ship at the Wilson Motel. Long estimated that she spent 15-20 hours a week on her classes, since she also had to do research and write a paper every week on the dif- ferent areas covered in her internship. Quite often it ' s difficult to set aside study-time. Developing study skills is im- portant, Long said. She also made time for her daughter Amber. Amber is getting used to not running around or having a yard, but she has her friends that come over to play. Our time together is quality time, Long said. But life in a dorm can be hard for an 8-year-old. It ' s not so neat because there aren ' t any little girls, just a lot of big girls, Amber said. But, Maryville is a lot neater than Des Moines because there ' s a swimming pool here. I like to go swimming and skating. Millikan hall director Becky Shaver came to Northwest in 1976 as an undergraduate, and has been a hall direc- tor since the fall of 1980 when she began her graduate work. As an undergraduate, she worked for the Housing Office and saw the oppur- tunity for the hall director position to pay for her schooling. Coming to Kofhwest was probably the biggest change for Roberta ' s hall director Anne Grezenske. She graduated from the Universtiy of Nebraska in 1982, where she was a residents assistance. Northwest is about one-fifth the size of The University of Nebraska, which has 25,000 people, she said. I interviewed for the hall director position at a placement conference in Osh Kosh, Wisconsin; I came here as a hall director and then as a student, said Grezenske. She added that she felt Northwest was friendlier than Nebraska. It ' s nice to walk across campus and meet people you kn ow. At Nebraska you were just a number. While some of the hall directors have stayed at Northwest for their entire col- lege career, and others have come here as graduate students, they all agree that the position of hall director makes higher education more affordable. -Debbie Eatock Davood Meniarian Mohamed Mohanud Greg Moroney Nasurdin Mohamed Ainuddin Joel R.

For many, once it turns cold again, the running routine ends. However, for senior PauJa Mau, running has stayed in her daily routine, no matter what the weather. Though Mau is not a member of the cross- country or track teams, she still runs at least eight miles a day and completed her first marathon this year in three hours and 29 minutes. I had never really thought much about run- ning in a marathon, but a friend of mine talked me into it, she said. My goal had been just to finish the race, but I ended up being pleased with my time. Mau had always been active in sports, but never really liked to run. I think I hated it because the coaches made us do it. No one wants to be made to become physically fit, she said. As a freshman, Mau was a member of the volleyball and teimis teams. It was only after she was no longer playing volleyball that she On the run took up running. It was a sport I could do by myself, without depending on anyone else, she said. I started with a couple of miles and when that got to be easy, I increased my distance. Running got to be a pleasure rather than a chore for her. When I run, I feel in tune with my body and the world around me, said Mau. No matter what the weather, I try to run every day. As an example of her dedication, last year when snow was on the ground and freezing cold, Paula still ran her regular course through town. When she returned to the dorm she had ice bits on her face from both the snow and perspiration. At the other temperature ex- treme, she was forced to miss a few days of running during the summer when the heat got to be too much and she became dehydrated after running ten miles. When asked what keeps her going, she said, that along with a love for the sport, running has just become a part of her life. No matter what kind of job I get after I graduate, I plan to keep running, she said. -Teresa Kincaia S(i i v Ma-- ' .-u t , Paula Mau runs at least 8 miles a day no matter what the weather.

After the drive to Maryville, Stevens, Margo Bateman and Gruber refresh their memories on previously taken class notes. I A designated parking area behind Garret-Strong was reserved for commuter parking only. For various reasons some students found it necessary or advantagous to commute to class. By driving to and from night classes many students were able to pick up extra hours that would help them. For three students in Dr. Ula Casale ' s Psycho-educational Measurement class, Linda Stevens, Margo Bateman, and Cheryl Gruber, this was the case. Cheryl Gruber ;spentl four years teaching in Shenandoah, Iowa. She taught kindergarten and first grade before giving up teaching to raise her two small children. But taking a night class helped keep her involved in education. Gruber attended Io va Western Community Col- lege and received her degree from NWMSU. The night class was required for her masters degree. Psycho-educational Measurement was a class that taught students to administer and interpret diagnostic tests for students of all ages. The class required that students spend much time outside the classroom because in addition to text readings the students were required to put the skills they learned to practical use. On their own time, Gruber, Stevens, and Bateman gave different tests to students of various ages. As full-time teachers, this extra time demand put pressure on both Stevens and Bateman. Margo Bateman has taught remedial reading at Farragut Community School in Farragut, Iowa for sixteen years. She received her B.S.E. from Peru State Col- lege in Peru, Nebraska. Bateman took the night class for two reasons. The course was needed for an Iowa Certifica- a masters degree in reading. Bateman did not feel that taking the class in any way interfered with her job, but commented, Information obtained from this class is beneficial to me in relation to students in the classroom. Also a remedial reading teacher, Linda Stevens has taught at South Page School in College Springs, Iowa since 1969. She had approximately thirty students she worked with. A 1968 graduate of Peru State College, Stevens took the testing course to update her reading credentials for teaching. Though picking up graduate hours Stevens was not yet work- ing for her masters degree. When asked if she fdund the skills she was learning useful Stevens replied, I will be able to put these skills to practical use in the area I ' m teaching in. All three women described commuting to class as a major drawback but said that having three in the car helped. The three took turns driving, which helped cut the expense. I wouldn ' t do it if I had to go by myself, said Bateman. Because they were all in the same class the three were able to discuss classwork and study for exams as they drove. All three enjoyed the class and found it per- sonable, in part because of its small size. In addition, they usually went out to eat after class and enjoyed that as well. Though Gruber, Bateman, and Stevens all found the commuting experience en- joyable at times, none were sure if they would be taking another night class in the near future. -Callen Bateman Seniors Al- Julie Hensley Lori Herman Julie Hewitt Kevin Hiatt Allen Hickman Malina Higginbotham Cathy Hightower Christopher Hill Junko Hiratsuka Greg Hixon Velda Holthus Jim Howard Olen Hudder Melissa Husted Deb Ipsen Valorie Jahn AHsa Jannings Joni Janssen Brenda Jennings Jeffrey Jobe Rebecca Jobst Roger John Colette Johnson Lori Johnson Ross Johnson, Jr. Vicki Johnson Anne Johnston Susan Jolly Barbara Jones Gary Keenan Steve Kehoe Daniel Kelly Daniel Kelso Karen Kennedy Elizabeth Kerksiek 48 Seniors Hen— Lag Rest dred The entrance to Colden Hall proved to be a popular gathering place for students during warm weather.

A LIKK TO THE PAST If you walked by the west end of Cooper Hall, you probably heard Mark Gardner practicing his banjo. Gardner, a senior from Breckenridge, Mo., has always liked Bluegrass music. His interest in the banjo began almost two years ago when he heard a person on his floor play- ing it. Consequently, he started taking lessons and eventually began teaching himself. Gardner said he likes the banjo because it is down to earth and tradi- tional. He does not have a favorite song because he says once you have learned how to play one song you are ready to learn another. However, he does like the old time music tunes of Jay Bird and June Apple . In addition to playing the banjo, Gard- ner, a history and journalism major, has participated in living history interpreta- tions and reenactments. He applied his journalism skills by portraying a Harper ' s Weekly correspondent in the reenact- ments of the Civil War Battles of Lone Jack and of Lexington. His banjo also came in handy while sitting around the campfire.

The corn fields and creek bottoms are alive with deer, quail and pheasants. And many ponds and lakes that dot the countryside are the tem- porary resting places for migrating water- fowl every fall. In fact, one might say, it ' s a hunters paradise. Well, that ' s what Kenny Ackley, a junior wildlife major, would say. If it ' s a nice autumn day, you won ' t find Ackley on campus; he ' ll probably be out walking a field for pheasants or waiting up a deer stand for a big buck. Dad got me started hunting when I was really young, Ackley said. Mom used to make us go to church, but I got old enough to say no. Ackley has been hunting ever since. Ackley claims to be a duck hunter more than anything. And it was on one duck hunt in November that I got to see Ackley enjoy- ing his favorite pastime. We crept out to his duck blind before sun up. Stretched out before us was a spread of about 20 decoys on a small farm pond. There ' s nothing better than shooting a bunch of mallard drakes, Ackley said as we sat there. But I don ' t have the desire to kill, kill, kill. I just enjoy getting out and hun- ting. Hunting is good for the game, said Ackley. The strong survive and this is good for the genetic background of the game. Ackley was interrupted by the sound of whistling wings. He perked to attention and yanked his duck call out of his vest. He started calling; sometimes the calls were long and drawn out, sometimes short and cackly. Whatever Ackley was doing, the ducks liked it and cupped their wings to land on the pond. That ' s when we stood up and fired- into the flock. i And that ' s the way the rest of the day| went. We came back to campus with several ' mallards and I especially came back with a better understanding of Ackley. Seeing him in that blind and talking to those ducks, I realized that was where Ackley belonged. Ackley is a hunter, always has been and always will be. -Mark Gardner Seniors Shi— Swo Steven Shaffer Sandra Shellberg Lisa Shingledecker Barry Sieh Rebecca Simons Bret Smith Daniel Smith Larry Smith Rodney Smith Sheryl Smith Lisa Snider Anthony Snook Robert Soiheim Victoria Spire Jeffrey Staples Karl Steele Linda Steele Mike Steele Harold Stein Tim Steinbeck Jane Ann Sterling Jim Stessman Daniel Stevens Judy Stevens Shari Stewart Mike Still Nola Stockfleth Jill Stokely Jana Stoner Diana Stout Jean Strieker Bryce Stronbehn Jodi Stroud Michael Stroud Rob St. Thomas Seniors 57- Steven Swanson Juliann Swope David Teachout Rosalie Teson David Thomas James Thomas Linda Timm Richard Tokheim Melanie Tome Lori Tyner Ike Ulce Chiaki Umazume Tamara Vandivert Lori Ann Van Fosson Randall Vette Robert Votaw John Vote Debbie Wait Kim Walford Dan Walker Mark Wallace Vicki Wallace Sherris Walters Tina Weed Patty Welch Lori Westlake Brad Westphal Randy Wheeler Bart White Sue White Mary Wiebke Randy Wiedmaier Galyn Wiemers Toni Wiemers Lori Wilken •58 Seniors Teo-ZIo Lyndei Williams Merry Williams Diane Willis Stanley Wilmes Carolyn Wolf John Wolislager Dean Wood Susan Woodward Sherrod Worley Linda Wray Marcy Wright Caryl Wunder Brenda Wyant Kenneth Yeager Randy York Marvin Young John Yuhn Haroun Zaman Karl Zinn Dianna Zlateff Everything in its place Living away from home brought with it new duties and responsibilities.

Kotas says he likes to watch people because their actions teach him a great deal about the U.S. way of life. Kotas arrived in the states three weeks before school began to pursue a four year study as an English major. Although the educational system in Poland is good, there isn ' t a better place to study English than in an English speaking country, he said. Before coming to Northwest, Kotas studied for two years in Great Britian. Although he watches and studies ac- tions and has met many people, Kotas Ruth Hagedorn LouAnn Harr Robert Heflin Tim Heiman Cathy Henson Sherri Herr Robert Hill Kim Henderks Les Hinmon Cindy Hodges Amy Beth Hooker Marcia Hoyt Chris Huber Lillie Huckaby Sally Huff Beth Hughes Laura Hughes Cherie Hunt Kelly Husz Leslie Ide Musa Ismail Rick Jacobsen Amy James Jill James •64- I Hdg-Mel TUDY TOOL says that he hasn ' t been at Northwest long enough to yet begin any close friendships. He has, however, been here long enough to make some observations about U.S. lifestyles in general. The only impressions I had developed before arriving here came from television. So, once I got here, I really noticed things, Kotas explained. Because of high gasoline prices in Poland, people don ' t drive vehicles as much as here, and since prices are very comparable, there is no need to shop around for bargains, he said. After four years of undergraduate work, Kotas hopes to apply for graduate study here at Northwest. -Marcia Matt Kenny Jaynes Denise Jobe Brent Johnson Sue Johnson Amy Jones Robin Jones Roy Jones Annette Kaduce James Keister Robert Kentner Laurie Kinnison Tammy Kisky Diane Kloewer Agnes Koehler Linda Lambert Leland Lantz Pat Lazcano Laura Leander Bret Lee Beth Leib Tracy Leinen John Lizar Roger Lockhart Becky Lullman Randall Lundgrin Lisa Lupfer Shan Lynn Kevin Massen Debbie Martens Susan Martin Marcia Matt Karen Mauer Linda McEnroe Karmen McMahon Kendal McMahon Tim Melvin — - Juniors j Edward Moscato Vicki Mulligan Carol Mulnix Jamaludin Murad Rosemarie Murray Obiora Ndukwe Mary Nees Linnea Nelson Vernon Nelson Phil Neilsen Diane Niehower Michael Niles Mark Norman Monica Olinger Elizabeth Olson Jeanette Ortery Kathryn Ortiz Toy in Opabajo Mer- Rog Gone Fishin ' Two boys find the College Pond can be used for more than a place to relax.

Bernard Fischer Julie Fischer Sophomores 73 ' r Jina Merriman-Johnson gains Interndf iondl Educdtion Going to school in a foreign country is a common dream, but one few people fulfill. Gina Merriman-Johnson is one of those few. At 19 years old, the Lagos, Nigeria native has studied in Nigeria, England and the United States, and sampled a variety of school and class systems. The Northwest sophomore and youngest of eight children attended an English-speaking Catholic school in Lagos during elementary and one semester of junior high. English was taught in the school but this was no pro- blem for Merriman-Johnson. I learned to speak English at home. My mother taught me right from the beginning. By the time I could talk I was bilingual, she said. She speaks Yoruba, one of the 102 African dialects and also studied French all through grade school. When Merriman-Johnson was almost 12, she went to England to school. She said some older cousins recommended the school because they had attended it and when her dad asked if she ' d Hke to go to England to school, she jumped at th chance She attended a small Sussex school, Hollington Park for one year. After this, she moved to the Bedgebury Park School in Kent, where she stayed un- til she graduated. Foreign languages were emphasized at the English schools also. Merriman- Johnson studied Latin, German and more French in high school. Some Latin was required for all students and she tried German as something new, but decided to stick with French instead. During her year in Sussex and while she was at Bedgebury Park, Merriman- Johnson lived in the school dorms along with most of the other students. Of the approximately 300 students at Bedgebury Park, only about five were day students who returned home at night. All the others were school residents known as boarders. Except for seniors, the high schoolers lived in long rooms with six to 12 people per room. Dressers provided divisions between the beds, but there was still little privacy. Seniors at the school were given a cou- ple special privileges - private or semi- private rooms, and the chance to wear home clothes rather than the standard ' uniform underclassmen wore. This uniform consisted of a blue skirt and tie and white blouse. I saved my uniforms rather than sell- ing them back to the school as seconds, she laughed. Now I can pull them out someday and tell my grandchildren, ' See what your grandma used to have to wear? ' At Bedgebury Park, about three weekends per semester were set aside as exeat weekends when students could go home, or if home was too far away, as in Merriman-Johnson ' s case, with friends. Merriman-Johnson was in England un- til she graduated in 1979 at age 17. She never went home during that time, but her parents came to visit and her brother lived Gail Fithen Tammy Fitzpatrick Cynthia Forsythe Susan Foster John Frazier Jim Fudge Brenda Gabbert Leslie Galbreath Donna Gallus Lori Garnett Melissa Gatchalian Chris Gates Darrell Gelb Gail Gibson Nancy Giefer Amy Glenn Danette Golden Avie Gorman Ed Gouldsmith Mary Kay Graney Russell Gray ' Ronda Griffey Stacie Griffith — 74 I Sophomores I Fit-Hun in Birmingham, although that was too far away to go often. After graduation, Merriman-Johnson returned home, where she went to a government school to take her African O levels, or final exams. She had pass- ed the British O levels, but still needed to take the African tests in order to go on with her schooHng. I hated that school, said Merriman Johnson, and after only a year at home, she repacked her bags, this time for the United States and Northwest Missouri State University, where she joined two of her sisters, Kunbi and Winifred. There was more competition in England. You ' re forced to want to work •because everyone else does. Here there ' s less competition, but I make good grades because I want too, she said. Merriman-Johnson ' s future plans are uncertain as of yet. She does want to return to Nigeria after getting her degree and then decide whether to stay or relocate somewhere else. I haven ' t stayed at any place for any length of time to feel at home there, she said. I ' ll just have to see where I want to stay. As for the United States, she says, I ' ll be back to visit.

But what happens when the phone rings, and it ' s that special someone? Many students at Northwest are involv- ed in these long distance relationships. A great deal of couples agree on an open relationship. This type of relationship is when each person decides to do his her own thing and date other people. A sophomore admits that this type of relationship has worked out the best for him and his girl. He felt that by dating other girls, it gave him the opportunity to get to know different types of girls, as well as helping him face the fact that his girl back home really meant a great deal to him. Many students don ' t find the distance between them a big factor in their rela- tionship. According to freshman Tracy Elwood, whose boyfriend attends Washburn College in Topeka, Kansas, It makes us even closer when we see each other again. To many people, this is true. The distance makes the two people appreciate the time they do get to spend together. It ' s not too bad because our relationship h close. We understand why we can ' t be together, said Brian Quinn, a junior, whose girlfriend attends Stetson University in Florida. It ' s almost like living in two different world— one where he ' s here— the other when he ' s away. Sometimes it ' s hard to keep the worlds in touch, said Barbie Cowan whose husband is a sargent in the Marine Corps and stationed in Japan. But Barbie admits that when he walks off the plane and gets home, it ' s like he has never been away. Like Barbie, there are many students who remain loyal to their hometown sweethearts. Their life isn ' t so simple. They get a phone call, letters, and occa- sionally flowers, but it isn ' t like spending precious moments with their loved one. I didn ' t realize how much I ' d really miss Dean. It ' s really hard being away from him, commented freshman Sonnie Callahan, whose boyfriend lives in Chariton, Iowa. Many times it is painful, but all agree that it is part of learning how to cope with the long distance relation- ship. -Lisa Holder Mail time often caused extremes of excitement and depression depending whether or not that special so- meone wrote.

Clownln ' Most children at play pretend to be the person that they want to be when they grow up. Little boys are usually firemen, policemen, or cowboys. Some little girls aspire to be nurses, teachers, or perhaps mommies. One little girl, now a Northwest sophomore, wanted to be a clown. Today she is. Deanna Dehn, a Broadcasting Radio and Televison major from Independence, Mo, first got into clowning when her mother dressed her up in costumes for the part. And she ' s been doing it ever since. I ' m a lot like my mom, Dehn explain- ed, She always wanted to be a clown and dressed me up like one when I was little. I just became more and more interested and grew into it. Since 1979, Dehn has been a member of the Kansas City local of the Professional Clown Alley. At the monthly meetings, members learn skits, jokes, and other ideas for making their sh ows better. A workshop in 1979 helped Dehn and mother to learn what they needed to get them started. The first weekend they taught us about costumes, balloons, and skits, said Dehn, The following weekend they showed us how to do the make up and how to fit everything else together. Putting it altogether is just what she has done. Dehn performs throughout the In- i •84 Freshmen Ada— Dos i Ground dependence area, going to retirement homes, park openings, birthday parties, restaurant openings, and parades. Her act consists of skits and sing-a-longs, with some juggling thrown in. The best way to learn how to juggle is to start out with scarves, said Dehn, That way you have more time to react because they float and don ' t fall as fast as balls do. Dehn is a white-faced, tramp clown, a design that she came up with on her own. Her clown face wears no smile, but Dehn says that she entertains in order to give hap- piness to other people. She has also developed some magic tricks and routines, but hasn ' t yet worked them into the act. While she has no favorite clown, Dehn said that she does respect Fred Wizzard, bet- ter known to youngsters in the Kansas City area for decades as Whizzo, very much. Even after all these years, he still has all that energy to do it, Dehn said, He ' s do- ing this for a living and he loves it. Dehn is clown for her own fun and self satisfaction. But she tells about how she once thought of making clowning her career. I was trying to get into the Barnum and Bailey circus as a clown, Dehn said, But the pay is so low that I would be better off pursuing a career in broadcasting. -Les Murdock N ■ § I I Beth Baier Elizabeth Baker Jayne Baker Jeff Baker Barbara Baldwin Fran Barberis Becky Barnard Charissa Barr Ajesh Bassi Cynthia Baumhauer Jenny Baykal Kristi Bayless Tim Beach Paula Beason Angle Bechen Catherine Beck Lisa Beck Krisi Beckman Holly Benton Lori Bentz Tom Berg Shawn Berry Ann Bettis Cristy Bidler Naoim Bienfang Robert Binang Steve Black Lisa Blair Lyle Blanchard Manon Boddaert Randall Borders Jr. Sue Bortz Teresa Boswell Freshmen 85-  . e choice is yours During his senior year in high school every college-bound student was faced with the question, Where do I go now? Choosing a college was a process that in- volved a lot of decision making. As a high school senior the prospective college student was bombarded with catalogs, pamphlets.and informative bulletins from different colleges and universities. With photographs of the most beautiful features of the campus, each pamphlet was designed to attract the student to that particular university. The captions beneath the pictures described the univer- sity ' s strong educational programs, dedicated faculty, and other opportunities just waiting for new freshmen. Though the pamphlets were not always taken seriously, more often than not they were thrown away immediately, they did make students aware of what schools were available to them. With several schools in mind the stu- dent was able to narrow the field by ask- ing himself some questions. Once the prospective student decided what he was going to major in, how large a school he wanted to attend, how far away from home he wanted to go, and so on, his choice was easier, but not simple. Some students did a little checking before deciding to come to Northwest. Many took advantage of the university ' s Senior Day and Student Ambassadors that helped familiarize them with the cam- pus and what was offered. The Student Ambassadors were a group of Northwest students that helped recruit new students by showing them around and encouraging them to come to NWMSU to pursue their education. Other students took it upon themselves Lisa Bowling Joyce Bowman Rebecca Braden Cindy Breuer Sheri Briggs Tracy Brook Denise Brosius Shelly Brotherson Julie Brown Shari Brown Jim Brummil Michael Bryson Paula Bullard Linda Bundt Jeanne Burgin Drew Burkey Denise Cagle Tamara Cain ■86 Freshmen ' to learn about the university. Sophomore Ronda Griffey came to the campus on her own to talic to advisors in her chosen field. Griffey found the advisors very helpful. They went through the catalog with me and showed me what classes to take, said Griffey. Cost seemed to be a major reason for students choosing to attend NWMSU. Northwest was less expensive than most universities in the Iowa-Missouri area. Business major Connie Finck at first chose to come to Northwest because of the lower cost. But now, added Finck, I come here because I have a lot of friends here. Education major Kathy Flaherty said that many factors influenced her decision to come to Norhtwest. The cost and loca- tion close to her home were among those factors. But Flaherty had one other reason. The biggest thing other than money was that my brother went here and so I was familiar with the campus. said Flaherty. Jill Harrison, a Northwest sophomore, had heard one of her high school teachers talking about the university when she became interested in NWMSU. It sounded like a nice place, said Harrison. Cost seemed to be the most common reason students gave for choosing NWMSU to further their education. But other of the university ' s features attracted students to Northwest also. Those includ- ed the beautiful campus, small size, friendly environment, and the quality education offered. -Callen Bateman Dow— Cfo Sonnie Callahan Sheri Campbell Trevor Cape Lynne Capps Linda Carnes Shelly Carpenter Lisa Cermack .

PIECE €F THE PIE It ' s 9:00 p.m. You are sitting in your dorm room. Your stomach starts growl- ing. What comes to mind?.... Pizza! Most college students experience the mid-evening munchies some time during the year, even week, and the most com- mon remedy is a fresh, hot pizza. To ease their hunger pains some students go out for pizza while others use the telephone and have theirs delivered to them. The latter is the more popular choice. Having the pizza delivered eliminates the hassles of first finding transportation and then finding a place to park when you return. Two Maryville restaurants offered piz- za delivery. Both Paglai ' s and A G Pizza offered a nightly delivery service to the dorms. Paglai ' s manager Earl Brown described the delivery service as the gravy of the business. Brown said that about forty percent of his business came from college students, and about half of that forty percent from the delivery ser- vice. A G manager George Groumoutis estimated that forty percent of his business also came from the college students. The delivery business proved very successful for his business as well. He also added that most orders came after 9:00 p.m. Both managers realized the im- portance of the university to their businesses and saw declines during the summer months. If the student chose to go out for pizza more than likely he could have been found at Pizza Hut or Godfathers. The newly opened Maryville Godfathers was welcomed by many college students in the fall. Prices varied from one restaurant to another, but A G and Paglai ' s were com- parable, as were Pizza Hut and God- fathers. Prices at A G were: Small Medium Large 4.35 6.00 7.00 extra ingredients: .50 - .70 Prices at Godfathers were: Small Medium Large 4.35 6.05 7.95 extra ingredients: .80 -Callen Bateman Godfathers is a favorite spot for many Northwest students.

I wish that I could tell you exactly what happened on the night of November 18, but I can ' t. I don ' t remember. It all started out innocently enough. Tom Deluca was scheduled to perform in the Spanish Den. He ' s a professional show hypnotist. The first hour of the show was what DeLuca termed BSP (think of ESP). He joked around with various people in the audience, and even read a few minds. In one segment, he asked Cindy Mayor, junior, to pick a card out of a full deck. Somehow he had written on a card before the show that the card was the two of spades along with Mayor ' s initials. He was right on both counts. After that, he had people in the au- dience write down a phrase and he read most of them out loud. He put one sHp in an envelope and sealed it. Then he wrote the correct phrase on a blackboard in the front-- ' E.T. phone. But most of the first hour was jokes. At one point he held up a card for the au- dience to see, and tried to guess it. He wrote the answer on a sheet of paper and threw it out into the crowd of over 250 people. It didn ' t have the right answer, though. It read that DeLuca would give the person who caught it five dollars after the show if he ' d say the right number. The poor guy read the note verbatim, and was called Sparky for the rest of the show. After a short intermission, DeLuca call- ed for volunteers to be hyptnotized. Since I ' m a daring soul, I raised my hand along with 14 other people, right away. That was my first mistake. My second mistake was believing that I couldn ' t be hypnotized. I listened intently to him drone on about being sleepy and relaxed, and the next thing I knew, it was an hour later, and I was sitting on stage with my sweater and my socks at my feet. I went back into the audience feeling rather foolish. The next thing I remember is being back up on stage and wondering how I got there. I was very embarrassed, but things could only get worse. As I was leaving the Spanish Den to go home and study, people came up to me and asked strange questions like, ' Joanne, what ' s your name? and I bet you ' re a fun date! What was worse were the peo- ple who just looked at me and smiled. Needless to say, I was rather confused, so I asked a friend just exactly what I ' d done. I didn ' t need to though because everyone wanted to tell me in detail what I had done. According to various people, both friends and complete strangers, I tried to completely strip when DeLuca suggested it was really hot. (That explained the sweater and socks). I also coughed a lot when he suggested we were smoking pot, not to mention the fact that I wanted a Drowsy doll for Christmas after DeLuca took us al back to the age of five. The clincher had to be the fact that I couldn ' t remember my name when asked because DeLuca had told me I wouldn ' t be able to. He even asked, Joanne, what ' s your name? and I wasn ' t able to answer. Needless to say, I was very upset. The day after I was hypnotized, I thought I would die. Not only did my friends give me a rough time, but people I had never met let me know they had seen me too. I walked through the cafeteria and peo- ple pointed and laughed. A cashier at Easter ' s even knew who I was and teased me while she checked me out. I became a notorious celebrity. Even though I ' ll probably always blush about my experience, it ' s something I ' m very glad I did. It didn ' t get me any dates, or even any real fame, but it was in- teresting and unique. Will celery turn Cindy Mayor on? Tom Deluca think it ' s worth a try after he told the audience celery makes women go wild. Successfully guessing what had been on a folded slip of paper, SUB-sponsored performer, Tom Deluca, is pleased with his victory in the Spainish Den. ■94 Freshmen Ken-Mai Sherry Kennell Karla Kiburz Kathy Kilpatrick Kim Kilpatrick Kristy King Phil Kinser Michelle Kirkendall Cheryl Knapp Tom Knosby Michael Koch Suzanne Koski Dawn Kress John Krueger Julie Krueger Tamara Kunkel Steve Lackly Suzy Lance Ryan Langemeir Bryan Larson Scott Laughlin Steve Lauhoff Jodi Lawerence JayDe Leonard Diane Lesher Michelle Lewis Jeff Lisenbee Kristina Ljunggren Sandy Loew Granger Lofton Mary Logue Karen Logullo Dale Long David Lott Debbie Lydon Jill Lytten Paula Magana Allison Magorian Robert Mahlandt Emma Maliwat Barry Mallen Freshmen 95- Joe Marfice Cynthia Margis Marty Marsh Debbie Marshall Karen Marshall Dave Martin Deanna Maudlin Jill May Patrick McCabe Fred McClurg Cherri McCord Patricia McCue  ?iP Mirrored images The mirrored tiles of the not-yet- completed library distort the refections of the Ad building, North Complex and campus scenery. 96 Freshmen Mar-Nic Gwen McKinley Barbra McKnight Mary McMichael Maryann McWilliams Connie Mercer Thomas Meredith Jack Merkle Jenny Merrigan Christina Meyer Gina Miller Kim Miller Sherri Miller Cindy Miner Jeff Mohr Oswaldo Molina Benita Moon Deborah Morris Janet Morris Lynette Morris Lori Morrison Stephen Moss Robert Moulder Julie Murray Kelly Murray Rod Neff Betsy Nelson Sandy Nelson Amy Nichols Steve Nichols Oni Niehaus Freshmen 97 Pamela Nienhiser Martin Nish Barikuma Komene Nordee Mary Pat Nosek Loree Nouss Andrea Novonty Craig O ' Grady Larry dinger Kevin Olsen Stacy Opsatnick Brad Ortmeler Becky Outhouse Mitch Owens Juhe Pantau Pamela Paquette Christina Parker Dawn Parker Sheryl Parriott Amy Parrot Debbie Parsons Thomas Patten Tracy Pederson Kelly Peitzman Laura Peters Lori Peters Janixe Petty Stuart Phelps Christine Piercy Loree Pike Elise Pointer Vania Pope Kim Potts Dana Pratt Kelly Preston Dave Price Jerry Price Scott Price Rob Profitt Brad Puetl Bret Pulse Sonia Quinones Julie Radcliff Carolyn Radicia Nie Rue Kris Rains Deidra Randolph Phillip Rattenborg Terri Reed Pamela Reid Gary Reinke Susan Maey Reiter Becky Renfrew Lori Renshaw Rhonda Ridge Karen Rinne Paula Ripperger J.L.

Although the girls are )t identical twins, they said their similarity occas- Dnally fooled teachers and friends. If you should happen to see Kathy Kilpatrick on campus, don ' t be offended if she doesn ' t seem to know you. She has a twin sister, Kim. Born Kathleen Anne and Kimberly Kay on June 14, 1964, these two freshmen from Lawson, Mo., have spent a good deal of the past eighteen years confus- ing just about everybody that they meet. Probably the most amusing thing about being a twin is teasing people, said Kathy, Sometimes even if people get it right, we still tell them that they ' re wrong. We have tried to switch boyfriends on double dates, added Kim, But for some reason we usually don ' t get out the door. It ' s According to the girls, the negative side of being a twin is always being compared to each other or feeling like two people trapped in one body. But the good seems to outweigh the bad for these two. They have even gone to a Halloween party dressed as Siamese twins. Twins are not a rarity in tht Kilpatrick clan, with four sets being born in the last three generations. One of those other sets of twins, made up of the girls ' grandfather and great-uncle, caused them a most embarrass- ing moment. We were at a family dinner when they called us to say goodbye to our grandfather, explained Kim, But when the two of them stood together, neither of us, could tell the difference. There are another set of twins living across too hard calling each other the wrong name. While Kathy and Kim are fraternal, not identical twins, the difference between the two is difficult to spot. Kim is the oldest by five minutes, although Kathy is taller. I ' m about an inch taller than Kim, said Kathy. It ' s only a quarter of an inch, challeng- ed Kim. the hall from Kathy and Kim which un- doubtedly provided quite a shock for the other residents on the floor. Earlier in the year, most of the girls could tell us apart, said Kathy, Now they don ' t seem to be able to. Even when they guess, said Kim, They guess wrong. There are some differences in the two. Kathy has a double major in Elementary Education and Early Childhood, while Kim is pursuing a degree in Physical Therapy. In their first semester at Northwest, they had five of seven classes together. None of the five teachers, according to the twins, could tell them apart. Without a doubt, being a twin would open many doors of opportunity and fun for most people. But what is is that Kathy and Kim like best about the person that they ' ve spent their lives linked to? I Kathy ' s always there to listen to me, said Kim, And she never butts in if I don ' t want her to. Freshmen 99- r.pus residents welcomed the Christmas season m a variety of ways.

Maxine Goff explains what really happened to her friend Roberta Steel. Roberta residents listen intently to the presentation by Maxine Goff and Roberta Richey. The real story Though all the sororities were back in Roberta this year, the renovations were not yet completed. Noises such as banging pipes and smoke detectors going off at all hours, were a few things the girls had to put up with. Jokingly, the residents blam- ed the unexplained noises on Roberta, a ghost the girls believe haunts the hall. The rumor that the ghost of Roberta Steel, Roberta Hall ' s namesake, haunts the hall has gone on for many years with many different story variations. Some stories said the ghost had long blonde hair and had been seen in a white robe, while other stories just revolved around pranks the ghost had supposedly pulled. One rumor had it that Roberta Steel had been killed in an explosion in the hall and that was the reason she haunted it. Maxine Goff and Roberta Richey, former residents of the hall and friends of Roberta Steel, decided to put an end to the rumors by presenting a program for the Roberta residents, explaining the real truth about Roberta. The women set the mood during the presentation by telhng how the school and dorm were run back in the early 50 ' s. A trimester year along with a 10:30 p.m. weekday curfew were two of the biggest differences when compared to Northwest today. Also, back then, Robert (then known as Residence Hall) housed both in- dependent and sorority women, whereas today it only houses the sororities. On April 28, 1951, at approximately 13 minutes after midnight, a 50,000 gallon natural gas storage tank, located about 100 feet from the dorm, exploded, said Goff. The blast was so strong that the fire was picked up by California radar. Flames covered the whole sky. It was a tremendous blast, said Goff, trying to convey the impact of the blast to her au- dience. I don ' t ever want to see that again! Richey said she remembered curtains being on fire, people screaming and being cut by glass. The dorm was evacuated and about a half an hour later, the southeast side of the building collapsed where I had escaped earlier, said Goff. Roberta and I were both treated at the hospital for burns that were over three quarters of our bodies, Goff said, but Roberta ' s burns were on her vital parts. She didn ' t die then, as many rumors have it, said Goff. As a matter of fact, after her burns healed, she even came back to school. Roberta developed inter- nal injuries from her burns and 19 months later, on her 20th birthday, she died of complications that had resulted from the injuries. Goff and Richey passed around per- sonal scrap books and pictures of their friend which showed that Roberta had short, red hair, rather than long, blonde locks. They also reminisced about the type of person she had been. Roberta was multi-talented, had a dry humor and was very fun, said Richey. She wasn ' t a member of a sorority, said Goff. She was too independent. Goff said she couldn ' t believe the rumors she had heard about Roberta haunting the hall, but added that if anyone should see her (Roberta), she would like to know so that she could see her too. Roberta was not a witch, like everyone pictures her to be, said Goff. She was very fun-lovng, not someone to be afraid of. I ' d like to challenge each of the residents here to get the best out of her friends, col- lege and herself; just like Roberta did. -Teresa Kincaid K Sif H HiH Freshmen 105- Knowledge ttaVtv . lYve student ' :t ete ' !.f?eceW 3tV tVS .

Administrative Assistant, Monica Zirfas, gives Janet Lange some advice. Ms. Lange serves as executive secretary for Chuch Veatch and Dr. Robert Bush. Since July, 1977, Dr. B.D. Owens hasl served as president of Northwest Missouri! State University. Owens, a graduate of| NWMSU, has received training for the posi- tion through the Administrative Internship I Program. Sponsored by grants from the| Carnegie Corporation and the Ford Founda- tion, this program trained new leadership for| universities across the country. Owens was quite proud of the university] he served. I think most people like Nor- thwest because it is a friendly environment. I Quality education, low tuition and a beautiful campus were a few other factors he I felt attracted students to NWMSU. All of these helped to boost the enrollment for fall I 1 1982, which was up 25 percent. Though student enrollment was up, the I [budget for the university was not. Owens I I noted that state appropriations did not keep| I up with inflation and spending trends. The (university ' s 1982 budget was originally $10.41 I million prior to cuts by the state. The state] I cuts reduced the budget to $10.1 million. [This figure was less than 15 percent higher] Ithan the 1978 budget. Further cuts were ex- Ipected to draw it down to within $300,000 of I I the 1978 figure by the end of the fiscal year, lowens found lack of state funds distressing. I don ' t see any assistance that ' s going to I alleviate the problem for at least the next two| lyears, Owens said. Several changes had to be made in order to Ideal with the cuts. Some vacant positions Iwere not filled, so the workload was absorb- led by the existing employees. Some ad- Iministrative personnel taught classes and I faculty members accepted heavier class lloads. Consequently, the faculty student Iratio fell from 15-1 to 23-1. In addition, tui- |tion was raised in response to the cuts. Owens felt that the shortage of funds did I not hurt the quality of education, but felt I that the areas that suffered were equipment, 1 travel and other operating funds for pro- (grams. -Callen Bateman —108 Administration -. ihecuis. iiion.

Administrators Find Satisfaction In ••• «M Dr. English and Dr. Mees walk towards their offices in the Administration Building. Dr. Raymond Courter serves as University Controller. WORKING WITH PEOPLE As Vice-President for Student Develop- ment, Dr. John Mees also had numerous duties. Dr. Mees had responsibility for the overall supervision of the student develop- ment area. This responsibility began with the recruitment and admissions process. Registration, financial aids, and student ser- vices fell under Mees ' s supervision. Mees actually covered six seperate areas including financial aids and admissions, stu- dent special services, activities and organiza- tions and student athletics. The heads of these areas reported directly to Mees. We are trying to complement the classroom learning experience and to work towards a total living-learning environment, said Mees. Responsible for the University ' s total cur- riculum was Vice-President for Academics Affairs, Dr. George English. His duties included the hiring and ter- minating of faculty, the determination of programs needed and the allocation of funds for those programs. The library and other support areas also came under his supervi- sion. During the fall semester, English began teaching classes and found it to his liking. The biggest challenge came in the manner of budget cuts. The problems of the state and its finances and the problems of the economy have not allowed us to do some of the things we wanted, said English. English felt the cuts in funding were necessary, but felt that the cuts were felt hard in educational institutions statewide. We cannot go year to year to year operating on less and less and less, English said. Though plagued by monetary problems English received much satisfaction from his job. The most satisfying thing to me is work- ing with people and seeing things happen, he said. Everything else is secondary.

Administration 11 iK ' treases in state fundinu forces Board of Regents to seek t(ulent help to. BALANCE OUT THE YEAK The vote to add a $60 surcharge to stu- dent fees during the 1983 spring semester was one of the Board of Regents biggest concerns during the school year. The ex- tra fee was required because of Gov. Christopher Bond ' s order which resulted in a $.6 million decrease in state funding. The Hancock Admendment to the Missouri State Constitution, states that the level of taxation cannot be raised, but higher education institutions can raise their fees. The university ' s financial sources are state appropriations, f und raising efforts and student fees. The board did not want to see the in- crease, but felt it had no other choice. Alfred McKemy said, I don ' t like students fees to be as high as they are. We cut back on the budget as much as we could. We could cut faculty, but students would be hurt in the long run. Keeping the quality of the university was also a concern of Dr. Harold Poynter. I don ' t want to raise fees, but we didn ' t have any choice. The state said we had to do it. If we don ' t, we get a penalty. One of the Student Senate ' s goals was to seat a student on the Board of Regents. The Missouri law concerning how the board is made up would have to be chang- ed to allow this to happen. McKemy felt this [the change in legislation] would be quite an accomplishment, but saw no pro- blems with having a student as an ad- visory member. Poynter was not sure if it would really accomplish what the students thought it might since the board also dealt with mat- ters that are not completely removed from the academic side. McKemy felt there was a fine group of students on campus. The board found out what students thought by talking to in- dividual students, Student Senate Presi- dent Linda Borgadalen and weekly news releases from the university. Robert Cowherd said, I enjoy having the students attend board meetings. The board operates with six members, but for the majority of the school year, the board had five members due to the death of member Norvel Sayler. -Pat Reves Board of Regents Alfred McKemy, president Welton Ideker, vice-president Dr. Harold Poynter Robert Cowherd Michel Thompson ■112 Regents The board meets every six weeks.

In its classes, students are taught practical lessons that are usally taught in a hands on training situation. The Department is primarily made up of nursing and industrial arts students. One class offered by the department is graphic arts. This class offers students the opportunity to gain valuable experience using letter and offset presses. Also a certain degree of photography is taught as well as some screen printing. The student puts to practice his new found knowledge by making business cards, stationary, or any other printing project. Charles Anderla, class instructor, pointed out that the university only has a minor in graphic arts offered, and it has only been of- fered the past three years.

We had people in Valk, Thompson- Ringold, Garret-Strong, the Dairy Process- ing building, the Ag-Mech barn, and Wilson Hall, said Dr. A.B. Kelley, head of the agriculture department, It was sometimes difficult for a student to find an instructor. The department returned to find remodel- ed facilities awaiting them, with two new of- fices, better acoustics, and cleaner classrooms. Some people didn ' t know that we were ever here, said Kelley, But its nice to be back. One of the projects in the works for the department is a museum of antique farming tools that had been lo cated on various floors of the Ad Building. Originally the exhibits were marked and catalogued by John Bee of the Ag department, who is overseeing the museums reformation. We are slowly starting to display anti- ques on the second floor, said Dr. Kelley, We are exhibiting tools that were used over a long period of time and hope to have the museum set up by next year.

This allowed 24 foods and nutrition majors the oppurtunity to test for a job as a regular deititian or become a dietitian intern. Dietitians work in association with hospitals, school lunch programs, even with the armed services, said Dr. Frances Shipley, head of the home economics depart- ment. They plan the special diets for hospital patients, or outling nutritous menus for students. There are various paths that the home economics major at Northwest can follow, ranging from an emphasis in Consumer In- formation and Related Services to Merchan- dising of Textiles, Apparels and Furnishing. We have a two year non-degree program also, said Dr. Shipley. This is for day care center directing There are three student groups in the department. Interface, a type of student council which reviews concerns about cur- riculum, and sponsors all departmental ac- tivities. The local chapter of the Student Member Section of Home Economists of America has had an increase in membership over the course of the year. It is involved in arranging professial and social activities as well as acquiring speakers from various areas of home economics. Kappa Omicron Phi, the Home Ec National Society requires that the student be a second semester sophomore and carry a minimum grade point averge of 3.00. Their activities this year included prepating radio and newspaper commercials for the media in Northwest Missouri. We have 180 nome economics majors this year, said Dr. Shipley, And we have had an increase of over 100 percet in the Foods and Nutrition major.

Business before Pleasure As the number of students enrolled at Northwest increased, so did the enrollment of the business department. Business was no exception, despite the condition of the economy, students found business exciting and rewarding. In the past few years, accounting was the popular field to major in. However, this trend has been leaning toward the combined major of the data processing and manage- ment. In this field, the student learns to use computers and other business machinery to help them with management decisions. This major seems to attract the largest number of business students because it is an attractive field, said Dr. Elwyn DeVore, head of the school of business administra- tion. It is different and exciting with a large job maket. Most of the jobs out there are in the business field and it will require a degree to get them, said DeVore. Since there are fewer jobs available for the graduating students, placing students was a difficult job. This is only true at Northwest, but was a nationwide problem. The economy is the major factor that will determine the future of a graduating senior once he has his degree, said DeVore. -LouAnn Harr Business 119— The communications division divid- ed, creating two departments that were Separate but equa In 1982, the Communications Division was seperated into the Mass Communications Department and the English Department. Being a design ated area, it gives the studentspractical experience, said Dr. Robert Bohiken, head of the Mass Com- munications Department. Bohiken pointed out the experience gained by the students was not easily available at larger schools. The students operated the campus radio station, KDLX. They also pro- duced the weekly campus newspaper, The Nor- thwest Missourian, as well as the Tower yearbook. In the Communications Department, they run the Speech and Hearing Clinic. The Clinic provided diagnostic services to per- sons suffering from hearing, speech or language difficulties. The Clinic also enables communication disorder majors to gain practical experiences in this type of therapy. The department also included the Public Relations majors. Most of these majors belonged to the department sponsored organization, the Public Relations Student Society of America. In the English Department, under Dr. Carrol Fry, department head, said, The best English Department in the state, and in many states, is here at Northwest. Students who major in English were given the opportunity to work in the Writing Skills Center. The Center involved approximately 240 students, who were enrolled in English 110. English 1 10 was first offered in the fall of 1979. It is for students who scored below a composite score of 15 on the English section of the ACT test. Upperclassmen who did well in their English courses could be selected as tutors. The Center employed 30 tutors during the 1982-83 year. Besides sharpening my own English skill, tutoring gives me a chance to work diligently with people in a way I have never done before, said Cheryl Gabbert, tutor. Overall, the English Department, along with the Communications Department, helped students improve their English and communication fundamentals. -Lisa Holder I V 11 Mike Harbit prepares his music for his program on Ihe campus radio Mation, KDLX.

Nagle is an instructor in the Northwest English Department and an avid tennis player. His interest in tennis started in his student days at Coe College, when he took it as a course. As the years went by, I became a mad- man about tennis, Nagle said. After earning his doctorate degree, Nagle taught for 10 years and then found himself out on the street. He turned to tennis and became an ins tructor, assistant coach and head coach. Nagle has given lessons at clubs in Iowa, Illinois, New Mexico and Missouri. -Lrsa Holder Communications laboratory school provides educa- tion majors with. . . A Class Within a Class Since 1905 men and women have been coming to Northwest Missouri State University for an education that will enable them to remain in the classroom, even after graduation. Firsthand experience and personal at- tention are the two most important re- quirements for these education majors, said Bob Guthland, first-year director of Northwest ' s Horace Mann Learning Center. This laboratory school is probably the most unique aspect of the division of education, he said. It is available to education majors throughout their courses of study. Not only was the school a plus for the university students, but it also provided a good learning environment for the elementary school students. Every one of our elementary school instructors is also a university instructor who teaches university classes in addition to their elementary classes, Guthland said. This is really a great experience for those children. These instructors are ex- tremely talented. Having these instructors is a real benefit for the Horace Mann students. Secondary education majors were re- quired to take a micro-teaching course in addition to their observation courses and methods courses. The micro-teaching course has been very beneficial for me, said Tom Ibarra. It enables you to teach for about 5-10 minutes in front of real university students. Then you can play the tape back and evaluate your performance. According to Dr. Frank Grispino, director of student teaching, approx- imately 300 students were enrolled in the student teaching program. He said that this was a sharp decline from previous years. The shortage of teachers can be said to come from the lower salary paid to the instructors and the demand being made on the teachers of today by the public as well as the administration, he said. Also, I think that the students have been told for so long that there were too many teachers that they believed there was an oversupply of teachers. That has resulted in a very serious shortage of teachers to- day. He said that this also meant that this was a very good time to find jobs in the field of education. Dr. Dean Savage, elementary education chairman, agreed with Grispino. Finding a teaching job is not as tough as it used to be, he said. ' The elemen- tary education department placed nearly all of its graduates who wanted jobs last year. Horace Mann is one reason that our placement is so high. -Ann Henry Pre-school instructor, Kathryn McKee, takes a break while her students play in the classroom.

The fine arts department was able to maintain its usual level of performance this year despite decreased funding, said Dr. Robert Sunkle, fine arts chairman. The theater department sponsored four performances this year with much devo- tion of time and effort by theater majors and non-majors alike. These productions, though entertain- ing, were academic, said Sunkle. Students participated in every aspect of the produc- tions. Gloria Mason, a senior theater major, can attest to that. She explained that all theater majors are required to be on prac- ticum every semester, beginning their freshman year. — 124- Fine Arts I The finer things in life You are assigned one area per show. Maybe it would be painting, building the set or working with costumes, she said. All aspects are explored. So by the time a person graduates, they will have per- formed every job in theater, ' on and behind stage as well as the box office. Mason said when she first decided to major in theater, her parents weren ' t that enthused. They didn ' t think it was a job. Then they saw how much work it was and realized it was as hard as anything else. In a typical week, I usually spend nine hours in class, about 10 working on costume rental and about 21 hours of rehearsal, she said. The work on the per- A Midsummer Night ' s Dream formances doesn ' t let up much because they come one right after the other. Auditions for the next performance are held a day or two after the last. It ' s really hard work, but it ' s fun and I ' m learning a lot, she said. Mason said NWMSU offers excellent opportunities for theater majors if they are willing to work. It is small enough so you can actually participate and get a chance to learn, she said. In a big school there is so much competition. Sometimes you don ' t get a chance. Sunkle said there was a growth in the number of theater majors, citing the nation-wide popularity of dinner theaters. Many students that are going for more conventional majors such as business are also participating in the vocal groups on campus, he said. Business is a popular major, but many students don ' t realize that the field of jewelry repair and design is also a good choice for a person interested in fine arts, he said. Caligraphy is another area that is quite popular, and we ' re now offering a class on the subject. The money shortage has dealt some problems for the fine arts department, said Sunkle. We no longer send the marching band to away football games and we are doing different things with our scholarship money. -Teresa Kincaid i Sir n ' - ifiS., Fine Arts 125 — From this clay... The art of pottery has been known to man for centuries, and that art is alive, here, on campus. The ' pit ' , in the base- ment of the Fine Arts Building is ' home ' for the students of this art. Pottery was originally for the produc- tion of vessels to store water, wine and foods, or for strictly functional purposes. Noguchi Makio devotes his work to such primary functional purposes. I like my pots to be used. I like them to feel good in the user ' s hands, Makio said. Bernie DeZurick-Vida ' s work is more sculptured, producing strange little animals or cartoon-like fich. DeZurick- Vida chuckled when he said the inspira- tion for his fish came from a cartoon he saw on television. Jim Jansmen, who worked as a potter at Living History Farms in Des Moines, Iowa, pointed out that there are many fine works being produced by art students in addition to pottery. People should come check out the Art Club sale, which is at the end of each semester, Jansma said. -Larry Franzen The lip of a small pot is the last part of Noguchi Makio ' s creation.

A book dealing with the Danube River question was released in early October, 1982, by the Columbia University Press. The author? Dr. Richard Frucht, assistant professor of history at Northwest. Dunarea Noastra— Romania, The Great Powers and the Danube Question; 1914-21, is primarily a diplomatic study of the inter- national status of the Danube River during World War I, said Frucht. The river was relied on by Romanians for the export of primary products and became the country ' s economic lifeline. During the 1920 ' s two books were written on the Danube question, but Frucht was able to use documents in his book that were not available at that time. He said that the book will probably be used primarily by European historians and specialists in this area. Frucht spent ten months in Romania researching and studying. Five more months of work in the United States were required to finish the book. The project was an exten- tion of Frucht ' s doctoral dissertation.

Kbi{n|]tii 73© [Q S ii J A wide variety of classes were offered in the history-humanities department during the past year. The department, under the direction of Harmon Mothershead, includes the divisions of history, humanities, foreign language, and philosophy. There was a large increase in the foreign language enrollment and changes may be in the future for the history 155 course, said Mothershead. Three new classes were available to students in the philosophy division. These classes, epistemology, introduction to logic, and philosophy of science, were taught by David Dye, an interim assistant professor hired to take the place of Robert Nagle. Nagle was taking a year-long leave of absence. No other new classes were offered in the department, but a previous course, beginn- ing Chinese, was revived in the foreign language division for the spring semester. This division, which also offered Spanish and French, had a large enrollment increase in the beginning language classes. It [the enrollment] has picked up this year, but it ' s done that periodically, said Mothershead. Often there would be about 15 students in beginning French and Spanish and eight or ten in German, but suddenly the enrollment would double, explained Mother- shead. During the 1982-83 fall semester there were nearly 40 students in beginning Spanish and almost 30 in beginning French. Under scrutiny in the history division was history 155. In this class, American history from 1607 to the present is covered. I have no doubt but the course is really too superficial. It will have to change either in the period of time covered in history or it ' s going to have to go to a topic orientation that would deal with three or four topics, said Mothershead. However, Mothershead was pleased with the variety of classes the division offered and urged students to take one of the eight Asian history classes available. I wish we had more students interested in Asian history. I think it ' s an extremely im- portant field for anyone who ' s going to be halfway worldly educated. You can ' t leave out a quarter of the world ' s population, and quite obviously, Japan is the most serious challenger to American industrial power, he said. The variety of courses paid off for the history-humanities department with increas- ed enrollment for the year. Few changes are expected to be made in the near future. -Barbie Cowan i History Humanities 129— A trend toward computer science and technology leads students to take. . . iSDHE niD iaQ9 (. asm L •130 Mathmatici The math department has about doubled in the last four years in enrollment, said Dr. Morton Kenner, head of the NWMSU math department. Northwest offered different courses to students, some of these were calculus, statistics, math thought and analysis. There were 12 full-time instructors in the department as well as three part-time in- structors, Kenner said. We ' re looking down the road to having more of our work in a computer enviroment, Kenner said. Kenner said that a new curriculum was put in effect in the department during 1982. The Karen Taylor watches as word processing instructor Mary Jane Sunkel helps Julie Mann. intent was to emphasize course structure. Nationwide, Kenner said, there ' s a trend toward high technology and business and this could account for the high enrollment in math clases. He said that not many students were going into mathmatics teaching, though. Computer science is the big field, Ken- ner said. Kenner said that graduates from Nor- thwest are generally well prepared to com- pete for the jobs available in the mathmatical field. -Susan Patterson Students correct their program by reading the print-out sheet.

On the Defense The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps pro- gram has come a long way in the last few years. Lt. Col. Terri Fiest will be the first to testify to that. In the late 60s and early 70s, people thought ROTC was a terrible thing. But ROTC is really popular again, not only on this campus but everywhere, Feist said. I think it ' s because people really care about the defense of our country, he added. However, another big part of the improv- ing image of ROTC is probably all the benefits that it has to offer. The ROTC program offers two choices to the student; either the four year or two year program. The four year program is divided into two parts. They include the basic course and the advanced course. The basic course is taken during the freshmen and sophomore years and no military committment is incur- red. It ' s basically a chance for the student to take some general ROTC courses and get a feel for the military. The two year program is for students who have not taken ROTC during their first two years. Through a paid six week basic camp after their sophomore year, a cadet can catch up with the other cadets and enter the ad- vanced course. The advanced program is usually taken in the junior and senior years. This includes further instruction in leadership develop- ment, organization and management, tactics and administration. During this period the — 132i Fiest. ' II Jane Gilford and Ste « Foust look on as Roger Yount 3 nd Thomas Gotten pr are to rappeii down the side of J[| olden Hall.

Upon graduation, the cadet is commis- sioned as a second lieutenant. It is now time for the person to fulfill their military service obligation, which is agreed upon when a cadet enters the advance course. This obliga- tion is fulfilled in either the Army, the Na- tional Guard, or the Army Reserve. People that come in here and get a com- mission are really very perceptive, said Fiest. They realize that they have to start a career. They are accepting the reality that they have to better themselves. Kids that come in here and get a commis- sion are really setting themselves up for many years down the road, he said. They ' re a mixture of patriotic people who want adventure and excitement, said enrollment officer Capt. Bob Pratt. They ' re the o nes that are seeking to gain the leadership skills that will benefit them throughout life, both civilian and military. Pat Pijanowski, a chemistry major, is one of those people. I wanted to serve my country in some way but I also wanted to get my education, he said. When I came down here and saw the program, I realized that here was a way to serve the military, and get an education, and even on top of that, get a scholarship. This years senior class is the first class that has been with us throughout the advanc- ed course. We ' ll commission 12 graduating students this year, Pratt said. Although the mission of ROTC is to at- tract, train, and teach new military leaders, it offers a lot to the non-cadet as well. I Through classes such as rappelling, orienteering, and marksmanship, students can get activity credits in unique ways. We go for more challenging , exciting things, Pratt said. By-Mark L.

IVIilitary ROTC 133 — The Natural Science Department keeps on The natural sciences departments, which have been expanding in enrollment over the past few years in different areas, include biology, chemistry, geology, geography, physics and even nursing. Currently at Northwest, there exist ap- proximately 457 majors from the various science divisions. Dr. Dave Smith, the head of the divi- sion of sciences, said that sciences as a general rule are important because, peo- ple should know what ' s going on in the environment and what makes them func- tion. People should know more now than they actually do, he added, because the applications of the many sciences available are so widespread. These various aspects should be con- sidered and even given priority when deciding on a major as a source for im- mediate employment upon graduating. Admittedly, said Smith, jobs for people with bachelor degrees in the sciences are becoming more difficult to obtain. However, one field, geology, has enjoyed an increase of members seeking degrees. Contrary to the steady level of majors in other departments, the number of students seeking geology degrees has risen 130 percent in the past two years. This was due in large part, Smith said, to the growing concern of the pubHc about the energy problem. Smith also added that health-related fields seem to be on the rise, and medical technology majors ap- pear to have the upper hand on the job situation over other majors. New instruments, such as scop es and terminals and other deck equipment, have been added to a few departments. These additions occurred largely because of an $83,000 grant that was given to the department. A new physicist has also been added to the faculty, and he is currently studying optical fibers, a relatively new development in the sciences. The federal government, to offer a boost to science programs across the country, is currently raising the amounts of aid being allocated to them. This is an effort to both recruit more science teachers and purchase retraining equipment. It is hoped that these moves will have a long range impact on the growth of science learning in the United States. Because of the economy, several students have thought about their post- college careers in relation to their majors. Mona Mossbarger, a senior graduating with a bachelor ' s degree in science in Going and growing secondary education, felt that job open- ings would be available when she wanted to teach biology on the high school level. Although she began as a physical educa- tion major, she became interested in biology because so many of the classes are common with both requirements. She wants to teach high school because so many of the studetns who come to college aren ' t prepared, and the concepts of biology are so basic. She added that the background information that can be ob- tained from high school is very important, even if one wants to enter into en- vironmental studies, conservation, and the like. Pat Pijanowski pointed out that, as a chemistry major, thinking and reasoning, as opposed to memorization, are very im- portant to the thought processes involved in chemical matters. He also began as a major in a defferent, but related field. premedicine, but choses the inductive and deductive methods over the tape recorded messages sometimes necessary for passing tests in other sciences. Chemistry is a reasoning man ' s major, Pat said, and a very practical science that applies to all technology. An event held annually by the Missouri Academy of Science includes the presen- tation of research papers by graduate students in science fields. Last year. Dr. Kenneth Minter, Dr. Ted Weichinger and five graduates delivered speeches on their findings at the School of the Ozarks. Weichinger, who helped the students research the topics they had chosen, com- mented that such a meeting of minds was important because it give everybody a chance to mix with others to see what they have done. This year the conference was held in St. Louis. -Barry Dachroeden 1 .11 •134 Natural Science Jim Thomas relays on information to Marty Coats about the elements in the test tube.

Reflecting national trends and tak- ing advantage of new facilities, students at Northwest took their physical education seriously, according to Dr. James Herauf, head of the physical education department. There has been an definite upsurge in interest in raquetball and volleyball, said Dr. Herauf. We have also seen more students enrolling in individual fitness classes. Herauf pointed out that the opening of the Robert P. Foster Aquatic Center on cmpus made a d ifference in the number swimmers on campus. The racquetball courts cost around $150,000, said Herauf. There are more students playing now and we have more enrolled in racquetball classes. This year, a on-campus racquetball clus was formed. The club Sield its league play on Sunday nights. Equipment and improvements are still on the way for the physcial educa- tion department. There is work in the basement of Lamkin Gym that we hope to do over the semester break, said Herauf. Part of the im- provements will be relacement of some the weight equipment in that area. , The Delta Psi Kappa Honor Society for physical education majors spon- sored two major activities during the year. In the spring, majors talked to prospective students during Career Day. Their anual fall get together with staff, faculty and stduents in the department was an ice cream social. Students run for time during an individual fitness class. Havin ' a ball •136 Physical Education Instructors also serve as student advisors.

A goal of $6,000 was set for NWMSU by the United Way Board. All the money raised went to the county fund. The county ' s total goal was $65,000, which was distributed to 16 agencies serving the county. Fulton, a faculty member since 1973, said the main financial source was from universi- ty faculty and staff who had the opportunity to take payroll deductions and have them contributed to the organization. The frater- nities also have assisted by giving the pro- ceeds from their annual boxing tournament to the United Way fund. -Pat Reves Gradual! Science! Gradwif ' — 138 m Behavioral Science Graduate Work in Behavioral Science Department Offers Graduates from the Behavioral Science Division, which included psychology, sociology and political science, were told to expect a variety of employment oppor- { tunities. Dr. L.R. Riley, division head, saw a bright prospect of openings and an increasing need to encourage students to seriously consider 1 1 itheir undergraduate training as a preliminary step towards graduate work as two general ' trends in the psychology and sociology employment field. A Bright Future This is especially true for psychology students since there is currently a serious na- tionwide attemp to license all clinical and counseling psychologists. For those two fields, a doctorate is very desirable as one ' s ultimate goal, Riley said. The department had approximately 200 majors in psychology, 75 sociology majors and 400 in the master ' s degree programs of- fered in guidance counseling and counseling psychology. The 15 member faculty represented an ever increasing trend toward hiring teachers from many and varied geographic locations from across the country, Riley said. The degree programs are meant to be reflective of national, state and, as much as possible, local trends, Riley said. Our trend is toward more frequent night course offerings while still leaving the highly attrac- tive day courses as they currently are. We are responsive to the needs of those students who need to work while attending school, Riley said. -Pat Reves vM Behavioral Science 139 — L T!

The majority of the social life at Northwest is sponsored by a cam- pus organization. The greeks are known for their parties while Stu- dent Union Board provides con- certs and other programs especially for students. Some people also find that just being involved in an organization helps to eliminate some of the boredom and also help the person have some feeling of self satisfac- tion. Whether the group is an academic one or a social one, we are packin ' into a group. ■148 Groups Group ' 13 E R es a a ; es AKL Ron Bonnett and Kalley Filleeans, Candy Brenizer and Pam Paquette get crazy at their wine and cheese party. Alpha Kappa Lamda At Northwest, the Alpha Zeta chapter of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity strived for excellence in community ser- vice projects. One of the successful projects was the buddy program. The Big Buddy Little Buddy Program is still in effect and is very rewarding, said President Phil Klassen. In this program each active takes a young boy from Maryville and together they go to the movies or out to eat. Inis year, the AKL ' s received two na- tional awards, the Community Service Award and the Campus Leadership Award. The latter award is given to an active member, Klassen was the recipent. The annual Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon usually co-sponsored by the AKL ' s was hosted soley by them this year. According to Klassen, It was a lot of hard work but it was well worth it. We surpassed the goals we had set for ourselves by making over $5100. One of the most outstanding aspects of the AKL ' s, said Klassen, is the real brotherhood which exisits within the fraternity. They aren ' t just a group of guys. They are brothers as well as friends. -Patty Millwood I AKL, Clifford Cristanti serves the Kalley Filleeans at their wine and cheese party.

The little sisters ' organization of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity were also active in homecoming, in- tramurals and AKL smokers. The Kalley Filleeans along with the AKL ' s participated in the Big Buddy Lit- tle Buddy program. Money raising projects that the Kalley Filleeans involved themselves in included selling candy bars and conducting raffles. Most of the money the little sisters raised went towards one big Christmas gift that the girls gave AKL ' s. Other money raised went towards Kalley Filleean rush and supporting the AKL ' s. Each summer the AKL ' s and their little sisters come back to school and together they work on fixing up their house. Be- ing a Kalley Filleean means supporting the guys and enjoying the close family ties which are made, one active member commented. -Patty Millwood Organizations 151— S ■Delta Chi In our thirteen years on campus, Delta Chi has really come a long way, said Bill Bing, past vice president. Our alumni set goals for us that we have at- tained and we also set some goals for ourselves that are becoming realities. Receiving the President ' s Cup and the Award of Excellence, along with improv- ing alumni-chapterTelations were some of the goals Bing referred to. Another goal that has started to take shape this year was improvements on the house. President Mike Rowe said, We ' ve all pulled together on improving the house this year and have really done a great job on improving our organization. Our alumni relations have really improved ; since we ' ve established better communica- tion. One thing we ' ve done that ' s really helped has been our alumni newsletter that comes out once a semester. The Delta Chis tied for first place with their skit and float during Homecoming and also won parade supremecy, said Rowe. This was also the third year in a row for us to win the All-Greek football cham- pionship, said Bing. Besides winning numerous awards on campus, the fraternity was recognized na- tionally this year when they won the Award of Excellence, said Rowe. We also hosted the Delta Chi Regional Conference this spring. As a service project, the Delta Chis sponsored a Home-Handy-Man Week where elderly people in town could call the house and a fraternity member would go over and work for free, said Bing. We did things like rake leaves and anything else they needed us to do. This has been a very prosperous year for us and we hope to continue the trend, said Bing. -Teresa Kincaid Organizations . Chi Delphia The Chi Delphians were a valuable asset to their big brothers, the Delta Chi s, throughout the year. The girls helped their brothers with Homecoming activities, rush and the smoker, as well as adding an extra touch to the organization. Mark Leggett, a Delta Chi, said, The Chi Delphians are really valuable at Homecoming. They help with prepra- tions like the house decorations and float, plus they assist in funding projects. The Chi Delphians held two fund raisers; a football game and a mixer, both with the Sigma Phi Epsilon little sisters, the Golden Hearts. The Chi Delphians won the game. The money the girls make is either given to the Delta Chis or used to buy something for them. The Chi Delphians help the Delta Chi s out in other ways as well. They help more people be aware of Delta Chi, said Jay Harms, a Delta Chi member. They also help our relationship, with women. Other girls are more com- fortable at our house if they know some of the girls there. Harms added, Whenever we need something with a feminine touch, they help out, like with decorating at the house for parties. In addition to helping their big brothers, the Chi Delphians played in- tramural basketball and planned a trip to visit another Delta Chi Chapter. Chi Delphia is a group you can be in- volved with, meet people through, and have fun with, said Kathy Davis, Chi Delphian. Becky Hammett added, It ' s Hke really having big brothers on campus. They make you a part of the family. -Barbie Cowan Organizations 153- a Tau Kappa Epsilon The men of Tau Kappa Epsilon con- tinued to sustain their campus popularity by contributing to such charities as the March of Dimes, Muscular Dystrophy, and participating in a fund drive for the St. Jude Childrens Hospital. Danny Thomas, the national chairman for the drive, is a TKE so we particpate in the drive often, said treasurer Chris Haner. The TKEs also sponsored a party for the Maryville Head Start children as well as a half-time free throw contest at the Northwest basketball games. In hopes of adding to the parties that the TKEs have, the fraternity purchased a group of video games. The TKEs spon- sored parties throughout the year with such formats as TKE Island and a Nuclear Waste party. Haner, a firm believer in fraternity life commented, It helps a student learn to budget study and activity time better. You meet a lot of new freinds. I would reccomend a fraternity because it helps you develop character, said Haner. Not only does it offer a social outlet, but it offers character and scholarship. -Bob Adams Daughters of Diana The Daughters of Diana, the little sister organization for the Tau Kappa Epsilon, maintained a membership of forty throughout the year. The Daughters chief function was assisting the TKE ' s with their special ser- vice projects. One of the projects was a Christmas party hosted for the Sheltered Workshop. The Daughters helped pass out gifts and danced with the guests. They also assisted with the TKE ' s smokers and the Red Carnation Ball. Several fund raisers were held throughout the year with the money going towards improvements of the TKE house. Each July the Daughters and the TKE ' s get together and have a work weekend. It ' s fun because it ' s nice to see everybody and to help on the house pro- jects, said Daughters president Kelly Hamilton. To Hamilton, being a Daughter means being a social affiliate to the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon. We are here to assist the men of Delta Nu in attaining their desired goals. Some of the services we provide in- clude helping with homecoming, pro- viding dinners for the rushees and many, many more worthwhile things. We are here to support the guys and give them a helping hand whenever it ' s needed. -Patty Millwood Organizations Delta Sigma Phi The 23 members of the Delta Sigma Phi are trying to change their image from a typical partying fraternity to one which is interested in its member ' s education arid also with the community ' s betterment. This year the Delta Sig ' s officers were: president, Jim Turner; vice-president, Dave Bullock; secretary, Robin Crouch; and treasurer, Andy Secfic; along with its other members, have established a Positive Scholarship program. This shows, according to the fraternities Public Relations man, Barry Seig, that we are stressing scholarship in our frater- nity. The Delta Sigs did many things for the community this year. We did chores for the elderly here in town, said Seig, we raked leaves, and mowed lawns, and even moved a piano for a man once. Their activities included: helping rain victims, giving blood, and improving the ecology of Maryville. The Delta S igs pick- ed up cans from along the road and donated the tabs to the Kidney Machine programs. The cans themselves went for recycling. The activities of the Delta Sigs included intramural sports, participating in the na- tional Delta Sig convention in In- dianapolis and, of course, their parties. No two parties are the same at the Delta Sig house. The formats are always chang- ed. Among parties held this year the for- mats included, a punk party, a tee shirt party, and heat wave party. The fraternity has many plans for next year, but according to Delta Sig member Mark Dierking, We prefer not to tell what they are. -Bob Adams i Organizations Delta Sigma Phi Lil ' Sis Sheila Schultz finds quiet time to study.

Even when we ' re working it ' s always fun and brings us closer to each other. Turning work into fun was one of the things that the little sis ' s specialized in. During the year, the 41 members par- ticipated in and sponsored such activities as the Sailor ' s Ball, Founder ' s Day, Car- nation Ball and a Mother ' s Day Tea in which both parents of each member were invited to a party in honor of the mothers. Delta Sigma Phi representative Fahren Green waits for an IPC meeting to begin. Other activities the women participated in with the Delta Sigs group included carol- ing at the Park Dale Nursing Home, cleaning yards for the elderly, and once-a- month activities such as bowling, roller skating and picnicing. Officers included Beth Hemp, presi- dent; Lisa Gustasson, vice-president; Teresa Vestal, secretary; Marilyn Pisel, treasurer; Sherry Watters, pledge trainer and corresponding secretary; Tammy TuUer, rush director; Carolyn Edwards, historian. They are the friends I ' ll remeber after college, said Sherry Watters. -Drew Burkey Organizations 157- t: es  - S 2 6U es E c7 i ill ■ Sigma Phi Epsilon After a three year search for a perma- nent place to call home, the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity passed a milestone when they purchased a house January 5, 1983. We ' re relieved to have achieved this major goal, said Sig Ep president John Leek, senior, still, we have many more goals to set. It ' s nice to have a place to call our own and congregate. Ken Joljnson, senior said. People are spending a lot more time here than at the Red house because it ' s closer to campus and it is a Sig Ep house. Eighteen men currently live at the house located at 516 W. 9th street. The Sig Eps have remodled their new home to ac- comodate the men living there. The garage was converted into a bedroom and two more bathrooms were installed. We ' re knocking out some walls in the basement to make more room to use it as a party area. Leek said. In the past the majority of the Sig Ep parties were held at the Tivoli theater and much of their pro- fits went to pay for the use of the building. I ' ve had fun working on the house with the guys, said Johnson. It ' s already helped the fraternity to become more unified. I eek hopes that they will one day build onto the house so more members can reside there. The house has already helped us with rush, Brian Stewart, junior said. We ' ve got a lot more interested now. Rushees realize the Sig Eps are coming up fast and the house is at a great location. Other activities th Sig Eps have been in- volved in include community services. We played ' banana bingeo ' at the nurs- ing homes, Leek Said. Last spring we raised nearly $1,000 for the Association for Retarded Citizens by having a car wash. Getting the huse was a major step, Leek said, but we will never stip striving to be the best fraternity on campus. -Kama Michalski Golden Hearts Yvonne Dowdy and Mary Anken- bauer party all night long at the Sig Ep Quarantine Party. Sig Ep members and friends gather to honor John Wayne and to have some fun in the sun. Selling Valentines ballons in the Student Union is Golden Heart Lori Filby. Golden Heart We hope to have a more intense effort toward the unity of Golden Hearts, said Roxanna Swaney, treasurer. It ' s hard to get people motivated because there just aren ' t that many girls this semester, said president Damian Valline. Last fall we had about 30 ac- tives. We ' ve lost 16-18 girls this semester. Some graduated, or went inactive, others didn ' t even come back to school. Valline said that many of the first Golden Hearts that were installed in April of 1980 are beginning to leave. Some of the Golden Hearts have been here for four years. We need some new enthusiasm -some new blood. Valline said an unlimited number of girls were going to be chosen as Golden Hearts for the spring of 1983 pledge class. We ' re still looking for quality, but we plan to take on a lot of girls. Before we just took on ten per semester and just called them the ' Golden Ten ' . After we increase our membership. we will probably go back to taking ten girls a semester. We ' d like to have a retreat sometime to help bring the girls closer together, Swaney said. My goal is to bring us closer together and to get the guys to have a better at- titude about us, said Valline. Among the Golden hearts, the sen- timents seem to be same on the Sig Eps buying a house. It ' ll be a common place for us to become a closer more consolidated group, a place we can now call our own, said Lisa Lehnus. Now we ' ll be able to have private par- ties at the house. I ' m also hoping to have a picnic for the guys, Valline said. Now that the base of the fraternity has been established, we can concentrate on becoming a stronger, more unified group. -Kama Michalski Organizaiion ' ■159- Phi Sigma Epsilon The men of Phi Sigma Epsilon believe this year has been a successful one. They showed remarkable leadership abilities throughout homecoming. The Phi Sigs took first in house decorations, and tied for first in float and skit. They have now won the Homecoming Supremacy Award two years in a row. A lot of time and manpower was put into homecoming, but it was well worth it, said president Kent Peterson. Along with their homecoming trophies, the Phi Sigs also have retired the intramural trophy after winning it three years in a row. Fundraisers have varied from vending at Chiefs and Royals games to painting houses. This year they tried something new--a Chicken Stomp. The money from the fundraisers went toward house improvements. We spend a lot of time and money on improving the house. We even have work days when ac- tives are required to work and clean the house, said Peterson. This year ' s house improvements included remodeling the bar, kitchen and girls bathroom and buy- ing a new stereo system. The Phi Sigs are also looking ahead to the future. We are operating well finan- cially, Peterson said. Our house should be paid off by the end of this year and we hope to see some additions to the house be made. Some of these include a chapter room and an additional sleeping area. The Phi Sig ' s pledge program has also been restructured this year. We ' ve changed from years past, said Peterson. We offer more study hours for our pledges. The Phi Sigs were involved in many campus organizations including Student Senate and Student Ambassadors. We feel we are a strong fraternity with strong brotherhood and a variety in our members, he said. -Patty Millwood Sigma Tau Gamma Things are looking up for us in 1983, Sigma Tau Gamma president, Dennis Croy said, The Taus are currently in many changes both socially and frater- nally. We have several new policies on pledgeship, rush, and community affairs. Over $20,000 has been spent so far on renovating the Tau house. Croy said the 25 tau members are doing most of the remodeling. They have recarpeted the liv- ing quarters, put in two new furnaces, repaired plumbing and electricity, remodled the basement, and have painted the house interior. Croy said they hope to add a kitchen, new furniture and siding to the house. We ' re very satisfied with the progress on the house and hope to have it totally remodeled in two years. Funds for the house came from the Tau alumni. Richard Neu, our sponsor, and the alumni have helped out a lot in renovating the house. We owe a lot of thanks to them. Crow said. He added, I feel our house will be comparable to any fraternity on campus in the future. Along with the obvious changes being made at the Tau house, Croy said they are also trying to improve the community campus image. We had a neighborhood clean-up and also gave out Christmas gifts to our neighbors. commented Croy. With the new pledgeship policies, the Taus have adopted, they hope to increase their membership and become a more prominent organization at Northwest. -Kama Michalski Afte r a long day, Phi Sig members journey to the house for a break and hopefully some relaxation.

Organizations 161- iL — — — Inter-Fraternity Council The Inter-Fraternity Council was made up of two representatives from each fraternity. IFC is set up to govern the ac- tivities of all fraternities. IFC traveled to St. Louis for the Midwest Regional Convention. Kevin Baker, IFC president said other states at- tending the meeting were Kansas, Arkan- sas, Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois. Baker said speakers at the convention talked on how to have a stronger fraterni- ty or sorority, as well as ideas for rush and pledgeship. IPC ' s main event occured during Greek Week. The organization sponsor boxing matches in Lamkin gym and which is at- tended by Greeks and Independents alike. Pan hellenic and IFC work closely together when planning the events for Greek Week. IFC also worked with the AKL fraternity in sponsoring the M.D. Dance Marathon. We have a much more active body than in passed years, said IFC member Phil Klassen. -Kama Michalski Discussing fraternity matters before an IFC meeting are Mark Whitthar and Dan Cauchola. Members of the Panhellenic organization take time out during a meeting. Panhellenic Panhellenic Council is coming up. said Sue Berry, Panhellenic presi- dent. We ' re doing all kinds of new and exciting things. Panhellenic is the governing body of all the sororities, Berry- said. There are 12 members in the council which make all the major decisions dealing with the Greek system. We ' re in charge of setting up sorority rush, and getting Greek Week set up. Berry said. This year formal rush was held in the spring, where as it was usually held in the fall during past years. Berry said it went over much better having formal rush in the spring. It gave freshman a chance to estabhsh their grades during the first semester, and to look at the different sororities before formal rush began. Berry said. Besides setting up the teas and parties for rush, Panhellenic merges with IPC to organize the annual activities for Greek Week, held each spring. Once again Berry planned to hold a Family Feud , and the traditional Greek games, but this year a banquet was held in the Student Union ballroom. The dinner was held to help promote unity amongst the Greek system. A guest speaker was also a part of the banquet. We ' re working closer to IFC than ever before, Berry said. Both IFC and the Panhellenic Council attended the Midwest Regional conven- tion in St. Louis during March. Four girls from the council attended the convention. Berry said several workshops were set up in which they learn new tactics for rush, pledgeship, and learned about alcohol abuse. A lot of good ideas were brought up at the conventions, Berry said. She hopes the council will attend more in the future. I ' m very pleased with the Panhellenic system, and am proud to be a part of it. Berry said. -Kama Michalski u m mu B t If % «M S •-■ m mm — •« i H HI  Vr ff M t HI IH IS ii  K: 11 t£: HS tl •  ;« «r Leading the discussion at an IFC meeting is the organization ' s sponor Jim Wyant.

Phi Mu Diane Crees creates a Homecoming clown. Deb ' Phi Mu After winning first place on both their float and skit, Homecoming became the biggest highlight of the year for the Phi Mu sorority when they won the Supremecy Award for the fifth straight year. Homecoming is stressed very much, said president Sue Pearson. We enjoy working really hard. In six out of the past seven years we ' ve won the Supremecy Award and I think just knowing that puts a spark in us. The Phi Mus also did a lot .of service work. Annually we have a skating party to raise money for Project HOPE, which aids underdeveloped countries, she said. We also volunteered for the United Way campaign and for the March of Dimes. The thing we worked on most this year and will continue to stress is academics, she said. We tried to figure out an effec- tive way to stress it through study hours and loss of social priveledges. This was also the first year for the Phi Mus to move back into Roberta. The girls are very happy, said Pearson. We kind of wish the renovations were finish- ed, but we ' re just glad all the Greek girls are together again. -Teresa Kincaid Organizations Delta Zetas Lori Rennison, Dawn Spanger, and Julie Young get together in the hall. -Delta Zeta ' A. -■ r-iif ' . ' After living in Roberta the previous year and putting up with the mess, the move to the remodeled side of the dorm was welcomed by the Delta Zeta sorority. It ' s really nice being on this side, but our sorority is separated with some of the girls living in Perrin, said Debbie Reece, Delta Zeta member. Another bright spot for the Delta Zetas was being named the Outstanding Greek Organization during Greek Week in the spring of 1982, said president Lisa Volkens. Service projects were among the many activities the Delta Zetas participated in this year. One of the main projects for the year was the Men of Northwest Calen- dar. We chose two men from each frater- nity that we thought would help promote Riding the prize-winning Phi Mu float are Nancy Droghei, Sue Mahaffey, and Angle Mitchell. the Greek system and one was pictured each month. The response was great. We had no trouble selling them and we donated our profits to the Gallaudet Col- lege for the Deaf, said Volkens. Our main objective this year has been our scholarship plan, said Volkens. One way that really helped was the establish- ment of study hours. Anyone that had below a 3.0 grade point average had to study so many hours according to their grade point, said Reece. You were fined if you didn ' t do it. The Delta Zetas all agreed that having formal rush during the spring was a good idea. It separated Homecoming and rush which usually drained most everyone ' s grades, said member Sally Waller. It really helped. -Teresa Kincaid •?t Organization! ■165- Alphas Chris Waltos, Roberts Laughlin and Robin Wiclcs help on their homecoming float. Sigma Denise Jobe finds time to sit and play the piano. Organizations i -Alpha Sigma Alpha • One of the aims of the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority is intellectual development and they proved themselves successful in that area this year by winning the scholar- ship trophy for having the highest grade- point average of all the sororities. We do place much emphasis on academics, said president Julie Critten. We have to have a 2.5 grade point average to be active. Academics is not the only thing that is stressed by the Alphas. Physical, social and spiritual development are the other important areas that are emphasized. We participate in intramurals for physical development and have people on the cheerleading and stepper squads, said Critten. Homecoming is another activity we really stress. This year, the queen. Deb Catron, was from our sorority. The Alpha ' s social schedule included a sweetheart dance, Octoberfest, an infor- mal and formal dance. A Halloween party with the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity and a Thanksgiving party with the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity were among the service projects under- taken by the Alphas for the Head Start children. Spring rush was a success with 27 girls pledging Alpha. We really worked hard during rush and were pleased with our pledges, said Critten. -Teresa Kincaid Sigma Sigma Sigma The women of Sigma Sigma Sigma were excited to be back in Roberta and felt that moving back was one of the highlights of the year, said president Mar- querite Pfannenstiel. Having us all live together helped us work as a group rather than individuals, she said. But, being in the sorority doesn ' t limit an individual. We stress that each member be involved in at least one other activity on campus. The Sigmas got involved on campus as a group this year by helping the Registrar ' s office during preregistration. As in past years, the Sigmas actively worked for the Robby Page Memorial, their philanthropy project which fund various children ' s hospitals. We sold singing Valentines and also had a balloon assention for the Robby Page Memorial, said Pfannenstiel. Another event we participate in every year is a Christmas party with the Phi Sigma Epsilon fraternity for the Head Start children, she said. It ' s always a popular event. The Sigmas were very successful during their spring rush and took 27 pledges. Pfannenstiel attributed this success to all the sororities. One big difference in rush this year was that each sorority was pushing going Greek rather than just one sorority. That really helped us all. Alphas jusi acting silly.

Organizations A Student Senate Northwest ' s Student Senate has been working on three main goals this year, said Senate President Linda Borgadalen. I think developing a coordinating board for the Union would be a big step. Student money pays for the building, but students don ' t have much say in what goes on, Borgadalen said. Student Senate is also working to gain a seat for a student on the Board of Regents, or have a student meet with the Board before their meeting. The third goal Borgadalen listed was the Senate ' s effort to improve the process of allocating money to recognized campus organizations. February 27 through March 4 is Na- tional Student Issues Week, and Student Senate plans to have an awareness week here on campus. During March, the Senators traveled to Jefferson City, where they lobbied for Northwest ' s interests. We ' ll try to talk to state legislators af- filiated with the school or members of the appropriations committee, Borgadalen said before the trip. -Debbie Eatock Student Union Board We get to work with a lot of different people ... greeks, independents, Harambee .. and we ' re all there to work for one cause, said Deanna Huffaker, Student Union Board member. The ' cause ' SUB worked towards was to provide entertainment to all students at Northwest. We hope to achieve entertainment for the entire campus - not just individual groups, said Phil Klassen, Head to Stu- dent Activities. According to Klassen, SUB sponsored the College Bowl, movies, small stage acts, the annual Homecoming Dance (as well as other dances) and the fall and spr- ing concert. During the fall of 1982, Cheap Trick played for the concert. SUB also brought a magician and a hyponotist to the Northwest campus. We try to reach all the student ' s taste, said Huffaker. If someone doesn ' t like what is going on (or isn ' t) they should get involved. SUB needs more student feedback. Inter-Resident Hall Council I think a big accomplishment of IRC [Inter-Residence Council] so far, has been to get more residents from the residence halls involved with activities going on campus, said IRC President Todd Behrends. IRC helped to sponsor several projects this year including the Snow Ball Dance, Senior Day, helped with the Homecoming events and with the Inter-Fraternity Council [IFC] and the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity in running the Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon. This year IRC also gave awards to the Residence Hall of the Month, Student of the Month and the Residence Hall Honorary Association. My overall goal for IRC for the 1983 spring semester is to establish better com- munication between residence halls and IRC, Behrends added. The 40-45 IRC representatives are elected from the residence halls or ap- pointed by the hall council if a person is interested, Behrends said. Four members are elected from each residence hall. This year IRC is starting a $150 scholar- ship in memory of Dennis Lynch, former Dietrich Hall director. The scholarship is open to all dorm residents. Organizations 169 o Working to increase their involvement on campus and helping members learn about the real business world kept the American Marketing Association busy. The group began in 1981-82 when some marketing students came to Don Nothestine, now a co-sponsor of the group, and asked if it would be possible to form a branch of the AMA. When enough students showed interest, a group was started. I think next year will be a big test year. If we can get into the third year in good shape it will show some continuity, said Nothestine. Nothestine said the purpose of AMA is to bring students in touch with profes- sionals in business fields and to show them how the real business world func- tions. To help with this purpose the group hosted several guest speakers and took a field trip during the spring. Campus involvement was also a goal for AMA. Nothestine said the group worked to set up a tutoring assistance program and would be involved in a marketing research project with the Stu- dent Senate. As an additional advantage, the group set up a scholarship fund for AMA members. The money for the scholarship came from the group ' s fund and only AMA members were eligible for the $200 award. -Barbie Cowan ASPA Attempting to help students in the per- sonnel and management fields is the pur- pose of the American Society for Person- nel. Administration. The group is a branch of the national ASPA organization and was sponsored by Professors John Vitton, Robert Brown and Mike Wilson. It is an organization that attempts to help the students become more profes- sional. This is done through publications and programs and it gives students a chance to see what some of the practi- tioners are doing. We ' ve had some good field trips also, Brown said. During the year the group toured the textile plant in Maryville, the Leeds General Motors plant in Kansas City and the Western Electric plant. Represen- tatives from other plants and businesses came to talk to ASPA members. In addition to the programs, members receive the ASPA magazine, newsletter and special publications. Membership in ASPA also establishes and develops contacts with professional, personnel, and other executives, managers and labor officials, said Vit- ton. ASPA is open to all business students, AMA members Ami Rolette, Kim Greiner, and Jack Collins attend the regular meeting. particularly those with an interest in per- sonnel or personnel management. -Barbie.Cowan ■Accounting Society The accounting society proved to be helpful for anyone who was majoring in accounting fields or other related areas. Its main objective was to provide in- formation to members that would better prepare themselves for their chosen career. The Society ' s meetings were an open forum for members to air complaints about the accounting industry with others who shared similar views and interests. One project which kept the organiza- tion busy throughout the year was the developing and printing up of club shirts. It was hoped that those who wore the shirts- would develop more pride in themselves and their chosen field. They also helped to promote the organization on campus. One club member commented that the members benefited from the organization in the sense that they now knew what jobs to look for and what to expect from these jobs. -Bob Adams Becky Hammett and Patty Welch listen to a lecture presented during an AMA meeting.

Started in the spring of 1982, it is a national business organization that is a follow-up from the high school organization called Future Business Leaders of America. The purpose of the organization is to develop business leadership skills and create an understanding of American business enterprise. The group also pro- vides opportunities for post for oppor- tunities for post-secondary and college students to develop vocational competen- cies for business and office occupations and business-teacher education. Phi Beta Lambda has an added feature, which makes it unique to all other campus organizations. Each year Phi Beta Lamb- da held a Spring Leadership Conference at the Ramada Inn in Jefferson City. This, provides each student with the opporunity to show where their skills lie. Preparation for the competition started in February. There were many categories for the students to enter. These categories in- cluded: word processing, business law, economics, executive office procedures, typing, shorthand, computers and data processing. Competing is good ex- perience for us. Last spring three people quahfied for nationals in Indianapolis, two people placed seventh in the nation, said President Linda Steele. Fund raisers included selling candy bars and holding a raffle which was so suc- cessful that it was decided to become an annual money making project. All money made from the fund raisers goes toward each individual students way to the state contest. -Patty Millwood ACM members Craig Leopard, Skip Dillard and Jona Wilson try to find the problem in a program. secrt Organizations .ACM Approximately 70 Northwest students comprised the Association for Computing Machines (ACM). Anyone who was in- terested in computer science could join, as there were no membership qualifications. We try to get the people with a com- mon interest in computer science together. We learn more and open doors to things you can do with computers, said ACM secretary Julie Pickering. Serving as officers for the organization were: Kevin Kolega, president; Brian Drees, vice-president; Julie Pickering, secretary; Bruce Votipka, treasurer. Robert Franks was the sponsor. ACM meetings were held once a month and consisted of a business meeting and a guest speaker, usually a NWMSU faculty member. Recursively Defined Func- tions by Gary McDonald and Free Trees for Lower Costs by Merry McDonald were two of the lectures presented for the members. A special word processing workshop, directed by Mary Jane Sunkel, was also sponsored by the group. The two-part workship was open to all ACM members at no cost, but only thirty were allowed to attend. We hope to do this again because there were a lot of people who didn ' t get to go, commented Pickering. The Computers seem to present a constant challenge to students. students could learn word processing techniques without having to take a lot of typing and other classes first. As a money-making project the group sold posters. The posters were computer printouts with various messages on them. Other ACM activities included a chili dinner and cook-out. The members also helped with the Computer Science Math Olympiad held in the spring. This is a con- test help for area high school students and was one of the major things the group did. It ' s one of our main projectsfor the year, said Pickering, and we do this every year. -Callen Bateman Greg Messer checks his program for output. Organizations 173— u X 1-9 Q in PRSSA Most people think PRSSA is just for public relations majors, but it ' s not; we ' re open to all majors, said Mary Aquilar, president of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). Aquilar said the main accomplishment of PRSSA this year was the hosting of the first Missouri state caucus of PRSSA chapters. The caucus was mainly a leader- ship conference, and was attended by the state ' s two other chapters, Central Missouri State University and the Univer- sity of Missouri. Northwest Missourian editor-in-chief Marnita Hein punches out a story in the early morning hours at McCracken Hall. PRSSA also worked with St. Francis Hospital to promote Respiratory Therapy Week which was November 7-13. We ' re trying to get more involved with the com- munity, said Aquilar. In November, Aquilar, Tammy Fetters, Linda Dunbar and Bob Heflin, attended the national PRSSA convention in San Francisco. The Northwest chapter was asked to give a presentation on their pro- posed newsletter and phone service. This service would aid students by providing a phone extension the students could call that would list upcoming activities on campus.

Organizalions KDLX KXCV What do Count Basic, Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky, A Flock of Seagulls, Na- tional Public Radio, and Bearcat Athletics all have in common? They are all elements of programming at KXCV, NWMSU ' s 100,000 watt national public radio station. During the past year, KXCV has undergone some changes. A survey done by the station indicated that changes were needed during the morning hours. Accor- ding to Director of Broadcast Services, RoUie Staldman, big band seemed to be the best choice of formats for the station of Harry James, Billie Holiday and Tom- my Dorsey, to name a few, have replaced the alive and living format. Staldman says KXCV is also now receiving more pro- gramming VIA satellite from NPR. Like many other public radio stations across the country, KXCV will begin to feel the crunch of federal budget cutting. Next year alone, KXCV will receive $22,000 less in federal funds. To offset these cuts, the station has engaged in fun- draising projects such as the KXCV. I. P. program with more fundraisers planned for the future. In a profession where experience makes or breaks the careers of many young broadcasters, KXCV and sister station KDLX offer students the hands-on train- ing that is often hard to obtain. Students act as announcers, salesman, producers, reporters, programmers, and managers in a setting that emulates the real world into which they will find themselves. KDLX, the student operated campus station has provided students with their first opportunity to work at a radio sta- tion since its creation in 1960. KDLX aims their programming directly at Northwest students, providing news and information about campus events, music, and special programs including live remote broad- casts from various dances. Senior broad- casting major and KDLX student manager, Patty Andrews, says KDLX has taught her many valuable lessons over the years, It (KDLX) has changed my whole outlook on radio. It ' s a lot tougher than it looks. It takes a lot of thought. Unlike many other areas of study, students actually perform the types of duties they will be expected to do in future jobs. All of this is possible after only one semester at Northwest. Staldman says that working with KDLX is a joy. It ' s neat to watch a student get on the air for the first time and be scared to death, and by the end of the semester to watch them with confidence stroll into the studio and sit down to do their shift. That ' s what KDLX and KXCV are all about-providing the students with valuable experience along with quality programming to the community-at-large. These two stations provide the students with something else: The opportunity to get to know and work closely with other students who share the same love. . . Broadcasting. -Eilene Kerley - — — — — — — — Missourian Many students of Northwest may not know this but on this campus, in Mc- Cracken Hall, lies the foundation of a professional newspaper. Yes, it is the Northwest Missourian. The forerunner of the Northwest Missourian started printing on November 4, 1914. The Green and White Courier began as the official school paper until September 27, 1926, when the name was changed to the Northwest Missourian. A regular feature in the newspaper is the Stroller, an anonymous observer of campus activities. Since the Stroller began in 1918 a few attempts were made to discontinue the column, but students pro- tested so much that it was restored. Essentially, the purpose of the Nor- thwest Missourian is to provide the news on campus for students, faculty and staff. Secondly, it is a laboratory paper that provides a structured learning environ- ment for students, said Dean Kruckeberg, newspaper adviser. Reporters cover campus news, local happenings and any news which will af- fect the students. Their stories range from sports and administrative moves to features and entertainment. The biggest story we ' ve covered this year is the restructuring of the campus, said Marnita Hein, editor-in-chief. Despite various mechanical problems, the staff has always produced a quality paper; a lot of work and effort went into every issue. Everyone is assigned beats to cover and stories. Once the stories are finished, they are typeset by the staff. Besides typesetting articles, we also keyline pages, print pictures, sell advertis- ing space and work on laying out the paper. Debbie Eatock, managing editor, said, The staff puts in a lot of time here. Although we sometimes stay up all night on Wednesdays when we lay out the paper, I think it ' s worth it if we feel we put out a good paper . Hein added, It is mteresting getting to know and work with the stafi ' members, as well as the contacts needed to make a story complete. It is beneficial because you learn all aspects of newspaper work-interviewing, writing, paste up, typesetting and layout, said Sports Editor Dwayne Mc- Clellan. Plus, when you look for a job, the practicum credit looks good on a resume. I also think this year ' s staff has been great. -Lisa Holder Organizations 175 ! m a a • Q a a. a. a. s u o IK E E z NSSLAH The NSSLAH, National Student Speech, Language and Hearing Associa- tion, is an affiliate of the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Associa- tion.

This is a pre-professional association which encourages student involvement in professional affairs and which leads to membership in the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association after graduation. said advisor and president Larry Floyd. The NSSLAH g ives practicum students an opportunity to perform a social func- tion and gain experience at the same time by running a clinic for disordered clients. Besides meeting once a month, NSSLAH members have a Christmas par- ty. Spring banquet and an activity for Homecoming. Every year a hard working student is presented with the Outstanding Student ClinicianAward and a book or certificate. NSSLAH also sponsors a Social Func- tion Scholarshipfor department majors. Our goal is to make people aware of communication causes, preventions and treatments. stated Larry Floyd. -Phi Gamma Mu Phi Gamma Mu is the Social Sciences Honor Society at Northwest. Currently it is in its fifth year of ex:,istence as part of a nationwide organization for junior and senior class volunteers who exhibit high aptitude and major in one of the sciences. This group includes sociology, an- thropology, political science and economics. Over the past few years the club has sponsored a number of Homecoming queen candidates, and it also won an award in the parade for the Best Jalopy. The group has also held bake sales, with the proceeds going toward fun- ding conventions and parties. Student advisor D. Christopher Kemp, who has had that title since the club ' s in- ception at NWMSU, stated, We ' re low on student members right now because of graduation and the small number of ma- jors in the fields.

The club was formed for students in- terested in the fields of psychology and social interaction. Members were con- cerned not only with the mentality of the United States, but were also involved with members of the local community. Funds for the group came from a book sale in Colden Hall and a hot dog and lemonade sale in the dorms. These funds were applied to various projects and ex- cursions for the organization. One an- ticipated goal for this year ' s members was that they all get to go to Leavenworth Penitentiary. The club also provided social services. Members went on their own time to rest homes to entertain the despondent and the aged. -Curt Floerchinger « ! Pi Kappa Delta Debate When you say Pi Kappa Delta, the na- tional speech organization, at Northwest Missouri State University, you are in essence saying the debate team. Accor- ding to Roy Leeper, the sponser of both the debate team and Pi Kappa Delta, the 10 members of Pi Kappa Delta are also on the debate team. The membership is coextensive, if you ' re on one you are also on the other. said Leeper. Pi Kappa Delta is run in a very informal manor. We have no officers, no regular meetings. It ' s all very informal. It is all run under the debate squad. Leeper. Though Pi Kappa Delta is an informal group, it is a good idea for members to belong to it. ' There is a debate tourna- ment that is open first to Pi Kappa Delta chapter. stated Leeper. Northwest ' s chapter is attempting to raise money for a commendable cause. Our Pi Kappa Delta chapter is trying to raise money for a debate scholarship, explains Leeper, We are raising money by contacting alumni debators for con- tributions. -Bob Adams A toilet paper roll is placed for protection over a peice of equipment used in speech pathology by Kim Miller.

The organization held many fund raisers during the year. They held their annual alumni and senior brunches and a Founder ' s Day Banquet. Success was- found in the organization ' s Valentine ' s Day cookie sale. It went over really well last year, said President Carla Hulett. Students could buy cookies with sayings of their choice and send them to friends. Money collected at these events was largely appropriated to Crossnore, the major charity for the society on a national level. Crossnore School, explained Shipley, is in the Appalacin Mountains It ' s a boarding school for kids from pro- blem homes, kids with no other chance for an education. Kappa Omicron Phi is ridden with goals and aspirations. The purpose of the honor society is to recognize and en- courage excellence. We ' ve been stress- ing we want the girls dedicated to making homeHfe better, said Hulett. Com- munity leadership is important. The organization ' s interests extended beyond the local level. Members of Nor- thwest ' s Alpha chapter have served in past years as officers for the fraternity on the national level.

Meetings were held for this organiza- tion the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, in the Mabel Cook Home Management House. Organization president Donelle Goode said the group performed community ser- vices. One such service was the SMS AHEA sponsored ' Dress for Suc- cess ' , she said. On this day, members of the group could be seen walking around campus wearing clothes appropriate to a person bent toward success in a variety of occupations. Money for the group was made through various enterprises, one of which was the selling of stationery, candles, and other home-related gifts. Goode said Northwest was represented at the Missouri Kansas convention of the SMS AHEA. Members stayed at the Radisson Muhlebach Hotel. In March, members attended the state convention which was held in Jefferson City. Goode said the organization had no summer plans as there wouldn ' t be any point to it, because everybody goes home. The Betty Lamp Award was presented at the annual Honors Banquet to four students who, it was decided, most closely attained such goals as leadership, loyalty and cooperation. -— - Student Nurse Organization Participating in a disaster drill at the area hospital and participating in a jump- a-thon for the American Heart Associa- tion were just two community services of the service organization of Student Prac- tical Nurses. Organization advisor Leola Stanton said money made from a garage sale and raffle was used to finance a trip to the state meeting of the Student Nurse Organization, held in Springfield, Mo. The group held meetings once a week to discuss theories and practices in health- related fields. They also had birthday, Christmas and Easter parties. Upon graduation, the organization honored the member who most nearly at- tained the ethical goals set by the class. Members pledge to set high standards and give the best health care possible.

Organizations -Pre-Med Club Industrial Arts Club Community work and guest speakers took up some of the time spent by students involved in this year ' s Pre-Med Club. The Pre-Med Club was a campus based organization for students interested in the medical profession. They met twice a month in the Garrett-Strong building. Guest speakers for the meeting came from various health related fields. Films and slide presentations on such subjects as surgical techniques were examined. One of the needs fulfilled by the club ' was as an aid in student ' s homework. Dr. Dale Rosenburg advisor of the club, said the Pre-Med Club helps the students find out about their chosen profession. It encourages them in their more difficult studies. The club used funds acquired at the consession stand it operated at home foot- ball games to take educational field trips. This year, the club planned a February trip to Roxanne Laboratories, a phar- maceutical lab located in St. Joseph. The club also did a considerable amount of community work. Members frequently entertained discus- sions as to some of the problems in the health care field today. The groupplanned games and a special treat for shut-ins, a costume party. Previously, such parties had gone over well, although most were brought to an early demise when residents decided they ' d had enough. The group presented two annual scholarships to exemplary students plan- ing to further their education after graduation from Northwest. These were awarded as the club ' s Spring Banquet. -Curt Floerchinger Activities such as making a homecom- ing float, a Christmas party, a cookout, and field trips all helped to keep the In- dustrial Arts Club busy throughout the year. The field trips took the club to in- dustries in the St. Joseph and Kansas City area. The trips helped the members gain knowledge of industrial arts. Members also had the privi ledge of be- ing able to join the Bearcat ' s High Perfor- mance Team. This group worked to modify cars for fuel economy and low ex- haust ignitions. The Industrial Arts Club has been a real good experience for me because of being able to participate in the tours and field trips and also being able to associate and exchange ideas with other students in the same area of study, said Al Carver, a second year club member. -Drew Burkey Pre-Law Club ' ' The Pre-Law Club was composed of a group of students interested in going on to law school or law practice, said President Jeff Gotz.

Dr. Ken Minter, who himself has been a member of the nationwide organization since 1950, was once again the student ad- visor. Membership in the society was available to junior and senior biology ma- jors who obtain a B average. Current- ly there are 12 members in the group, the memberships will last a life time. A subscription to the magazine BIOS was given to the new pledges and returning members upon payment of dues. Besides the dues, the group held a an- nual biology book sale to help obtain funds for transportation to the district meetings. Other activities included work on a Spring Service Project. This year the group made a study on the return of native grasses to prairie located near cam- pus. The organization supported the ideas of fellowship and scholarship and encourag- ed research in the sciences. Guest speakers were also brought in periodical- ly. Dr. Minter stated that besides these aspects, Tri-Beta, as they have come to be known, gives the students a chance to interact with other people and brings a cross-section of majors in different biology-related fields to encourage leader- ship oppurtunities. -Barry Dachroeden Organizations Anyone who appreciated the outdoors could join the 102 River Club, a club that was named for the 102 River which runs through Nodaway County. Since its reorganization three year ago, its members have had a very conservative conscience. President Kelly Baldwin said, We want to make the public aware of environmental issues, conservation prac tices and what ' s going on in the world-the stuff people don ' t think of anymore. A guest speaker from the Missouri Wilderness Coalition, of which the group is a member, visited the club during the fall semester. He talked about how im- portant it is to preserve wilderness areas, said Baldwin. The club was also a member of the Missouri Conservation Federation which is affiliated with the Conservation Department. A herpetology seminar is held every spring. Students, faculty, town people and the Boy Scouts are invited. Baldwin said, We can have guest speakers, but we like to do it ourselves as a learning ex- perience. Members bring live amphi- bians and reptiles, talk about them and have a handling session afterwards. A game feed was held in the fall. Since a lot of the guys and some of the girls like to hunt, they donate some of their game while the rest of the members donate $1 to have a really nice dinner. In the spring. Dr. David Easterla, club sponsor, held a slide show to promote an intersession trip for class credit. Ecology of the Missouri Ozarks was offered to anyone interested. Outdoor recreations is another point stressed by the club. They have an after school cookout every year to unwind and also have go ne to the Ozarks for a weekend. Baldwin said, The best way to want to preserve (the enviroment) is to en- joy it. -Pat Reves Geology Geography The Geography Geology Club serves dual purposes, educational and social. One purpose of the organization is for the geology and geography majors to meet one another, said Debbie Waits. During the fall semester the organiza- tion hosted Robert McCall, Professor of Geology Meteorology at the University of Kansas. McCall brought with him an educational program for the club. The club has two social events a year and a spring trip worth two credits of a 300 level class. This year the clubs destina- tion for the trip is the Colorado Plateau. Faculty and students take time out to enjoy each other. ___Gamma Theta Upsilon Gamma Theta Upsilon, was an interna- tionl geographic honorary society open to all geography majors who had a high enough grade point average to make them eligible for membership. Those who could join have a lifetime membership and got international recognition. Officers for the year were: Greg Mat- tingly, chapter president and Robin Wicks, secretary treasurer. The organiza- tion had a membership of six throughout the year. Dr. Robert McCall of the University of Kansas came and gave a presentation for members of the group during the year. The organization also engaged in a number of social activities. Gamma Theta Upsilon is an honorary society giving students both local and na- tional recognition for their acomplishments, said Richard Hackett, advisor for the group. -Drew Burkey Dr. Harlan Higginbothan, sponsor of Student Af- filiation of American Chemist Society assists Marie Abler in the lab.

The conferences, in contrast to other meetings, focus on music and work to im- prove and update music education in the schools, mostly by helping to train teachers. Every year each state holds a meeting, with one being designated as the National Conference. This year the national meeting was held at Tan-Tar-A, Lake of the Ozarks. Active members in the organization, which offers a student membership, receive a free magazine and those in the research division receive two publications. The research division studies music history, theory, composers and performs age tests on old manuscripts and ink as well as other important projects. Peggy Ann Bush, NWMSU music in- structor, said that most teachers con- ferences traditionally offered little infor- mation for music teachers, but the music convention are important. The entire three days is devoted to teaching music in college, high schools and elementary schools, Bush said. It ' s far more valuable for us professionally than the general meetings. It ' s especially valuable for beginning teachers.

We have a lot more members than we did last year, a lot more people are getting involved, said April Treese, president of K.I.D.S. organization. K.I.D.S. had 60 members this year compared to 30 the previous year. Since there were more people in the group for the year it was impossible to find enough children for each member to have their own child. The club is a service organization whose main purpose is to help people in the com- munity. Their main service is the adop- tion of little kids in the town. This year the kids were taken from the local Head Start program and Day Care, said Treese. Many parties were held in honor of the kids this year. Among them were a Halloween party, a Christmas par- ty, a Valentines Day party, and birthday parties. Other services performed by K.I.D.S. were visits to nursing homes and helping underclassmen to get acquainted with Northwest. The organization met twice a month in Horace Mann. At the meeting, guest speakers were sometimes hosted. One speaker. Dr. Gerald Wright, spoke on the Special Olympics. He was a very in- teresting speaker and kept the attention of everyone, said Treese.

Basic functions performed by the group during the past year included giving receptions after recitals, operating food stands on Homecoming Day, and supporting the Music department on campus. The money raised from the food stand was allocated for the club ' s rush func- tions, as well as for mirrors in the practice rooms. Metronomes were also furnished for some of the student members and other funds went to the national chapter to be used for scholarships. Joyce Gieseke, a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, stated that the organization ' s fuction is to be concerned with the development of musical growth, and to support American composers and their works. For the first time, the club is going to sponsor an Outstanding Band Woman of the Year.

It was chartered in 1948, and there are now over 250 branches nationwide. Various activities occurred during this busy year, including the Welcome Back- Get Acquainted party and the produc- tion of Shakespeare ' s comedy, A Mid- summer Night ' s Dream. The box office sales, publicity, and other business that such a show entails also was undertaken by this group. To obtain funding for such events, the group toured as a Children ' s Theater Show and sold refreshments at the Art Club sale. The money was also used for a scholarship to an incoming theater major, as well as a remaining major, and for technical and acting awards at their ban- quet. Recipients of various awards included: Steve Booton, technical awards; Maria Benitez Jackson, Most Promising Incom- ing Major; and Jane Sinn, Carmen Everett Wynne Award. Alpha Psi Omega has a lot of advan- tages, because one can learn about publicity and work with others on produc- tions. It ' s been a very good experience for me, said member Jane Sinn.

President Willie Bowness said, Art Club basically functions as a social group and to show and sell. It gets the artwork out to the public. The proceeds from the sales were usual- ly used to help finance major trips. Due to inflation, we ' re not making enough from the sales (for any major trips this year), said Bowness. They did continue their smaller trips though. In January they went to see an exhibit of modern potters and visited the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas City. Anyone could join the group, but to sell, the member had to be enrolled in an art class. -Pat Reves Organizations 191- Alpha Mu Gamma s R Xi a ' D o C 3 The purpose of Alpha Mu Gamma was to recognize achievement in the field of foreign language study. As a National Collegiate Foreign Language Honor Society with chapters all over the United States, students had to meet the following qualifications to be a full member: a) have completed at least one and a half semesters of college level work, b) have received two grades of A in college level courses in the same foreign language, and c) have an overall GPA of C or better in all courses exclusive of those fulfilling (b). However, any student interested m foreign languages can be an associate member. Through the year, speakers were invited to talk about their trips abroad or employment opportunities in the field of foreign language. At their annual Christmas party, foreign students at Nor- thwest and the foreign exchange students from Maryville High School joined them to sing foreign Christmas carols and sam- ple various cheeses and crackers. Their activities have included trips to the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Neb., and the Nelson Art Gallery in Kansas Ci- ty. They also went to restaurants which serve international cuisine and had their own international dinner in the spring. The organization wanted to stress how important knowing a second language and understanding other cultures can be. Ronda Griffey, a junior from Farragut, Iowa, said, It ' s going into teaching so I can teach students at a younger age because it ' s hard to start when you ' re in college. Pat Reves The English Honor Society is an active club with a dual purpose. It is affiliated with the national English honor society, Sigma Tau Delta, and is both an academic and social organization. The club ' s purpose is to stimulate in- terest in programs dealing with literature and various facets of English. It hosts programs and speakers throughout the year. During the fall semester a program on folklore was presented, several poets spoke and a slide presentation about the literature of England was shown. However, the group also offers members another plus. It gives an opportunity to know each other within the department. We usually have a social hour afterwards which gives them a chance to get to know one another, said Dr. Leland May, group sponsor. The organization is open to undergraduate and graduate students who have completed 20 hours of English with a 3.0 grade point average. I think it ' s a dynamic organization. It has a group of people who organize and carry it on by themselves. I ' m very im- pressed with them, May said.

Raising money for the National Diabetes foundation was a key fund rais- ing effort for the club. We are making great progress toward natiional charity, in past years we haven ' t done well. We ' re proud of raising $200-plus for our charity, said Pat Pi- janowski, club president. The group met the first Sunday of each month at the Morton And Jean Kenner house. The members have to be a junior with a 3.0 GPA and becomes a member through a selection process. The student mus apply. Then, out of the applicant, they invite 50 to attend a social gathering. Abusiness meeting is held with refreshments os they get to know the prospects. The group is recognized for academic excellence and leadership involvement on campus, said Pijanowski. They have done great. The speakers have been interesting to members, they now have an understanding about children ' s diabetes. They are a real great group to work with, said Jean Kenner, advisor. Phi Eta Sigma A new organization officially joined NWMSU on April 27, 1982. Phi Eta Sigma, a freshman honor society, held its first induction ceremony and a charter for the group was presented to Universty president B.D. Owens by Dr. James E. Foy. Foy is the grand secretary-treasurer of Phi Eta Sigma. The group began with 55 charter members, six honorary faculty members, and two advisers. Dr. Phil Hayes and Ms. Anelle Lowman. In the fall of 1982, 32 members were inducted into the quickly growing organization and the induction was planned for February, 1983. I joined to meet new people who might share some of my interests and who, like me, were lucky enough to do well their freshman year, said junior Diane Purdin. I think I have met people like this. Although Phi Eta Sigma is called a freshman honorary society, it is not ex- clusively freshmen. Anyone who earns a grade point average of 3.5 or better dur- ing one semester for the first year is eligi- ble for membership. This GPA is not re- quired to remain a member, but members are encouraged to maintain a high GPA. Our intent is to provide some rein- forcement to students on this campus who have done well their first year, Hayes said. Phi Eta Sigma members purchased shirts and sweaters with the club ' s crest in order to promote and show their pride in the new organization. We ' re trying out best to get establish- ed and I think it will just take some time, Hayes said. -Barbie Cowan Phi Eta Sigma initiates enjoy a banquet served in the University Club.

There were 17 members in the Circle K Club. Circle K is an international club with over 15,000 members in seven coun- tries. President, Daryl Leffler said that the club had a guest speaker twice a month who spoke on a subject related to their theme and objectives of service to the senior citizens, teenagers in crisis, and in mentally and physically handicapped. Circle K Club was funded by member- ship dues of $15.00 and fund raisers in- cluded Halloween insurance, candy bar sales, and dinners. Member dues pay for social activities and service projects while money from fundraisers goes directly to fund service projects. Some of the special projects the group was involved with were weekly visits to Van ' s Group Home, which is a home for nine mentally handicapped adults; Special Friends, which is similar to Big Brother Sister program that matches col- lege students with children from single parent homes to be their SpecialFriends ; and Senior Citizens Annual Halloween party, where the club served all of Maryville ' s senior citizens by going to all the senior citizen retirement homes and the community center to help entertain and celebrate Halloween. They also did many other individual services such as aiding handicapped college students across campus during poor weather. Circle K is a part of the Tri K family which consists of Kiwanis, Key Club, and Circle K. On September 21, 1982, NWMSU ' S Circle K celebrated their sixth anniversary at their charter night in con- junction with Maryville Kiwanis Club ' s 36th annual charter night. In district competition in 1982, many awards were received by members of the Circle K Club of Northwest. Among these awards were Best Scrapbook Award, Single Service Award, and Man Mile Award. Also Danny Halton received the W. Dean Moore Award which goes to the outstanding Circle K member in the Missouri-Arkansas District. The International convention was held in Ft. Worth, Texas. Eight members from Maryville were able to attend. Christy Bidler, commented Circle K was the best thing that happened to me. I never realized how many children need special friends in their lives. -Deb Smith Organizations ■195— . Sigma Society In the community of Maryville and on Northwest ' s campus, Sigma Society did good deeds. Sigma society, is a group affihated with Maryvilles Soroptomists and Venture Club. Once a week the girls in Sigma Society were invited to a luncheon with the Soroptmists. The girls in return per- formed skits and other activities at the luncheons. One of Sigma ' s main projects was a bridal show fund raiser. Seventeen booths were set up having to do with dif- ferent parts of the wedding such as photographers and florists. Door prizes were given out. One sophomore com- mented that it was the funnest community event that she had ever been involved. Several members modeled wedding gowns and various other dresses. Sigma did many things for the com- munity. Some of the girls regularly visited the Autumn House, a home for the elderly, where they helped clean and ran errands for those who could not. Some of the girls did volunteer work at the Nodaway Nursing Home. A few of the girls in Sigma ' adopted ' a little brother or sister with which they did many activities. One of the highlights of the adoption was a valentines party given to the children. The kids were so cute commented one member. Stressing the community involvment as strong aspect of being a Sigma, Mary Jane Dennis said, Most of the girls are active in the community and this helps give Sigma a good name in the community as well as on campus. -Deb Smith Historic information is only part of a tour con- ducted by Student Ambassador President Vicki Bat- terton. Robert Bolley, Sheri Bolley, Stacey Bolley, Greg O ' neal and Allan Mulnix are only a few of many parents and prospective students who tour the campus. m - Sigma Society sponsor JoAnn Marion looks on as two patrons to the show converse. Checking Student Ambassador applications, Linda Borgedalen sits in the Admissions Office. Each spr- ing many second semester freshmen apply for an Ambassador position. Student Ambassadors are the first people prospective freshman students meet so they are very important, com- mented Angie Grouse, president. The Ambassadors do more than just give tours of the campus. They help with the annual Senior Day. This day is a cam- pus open-house which students from all over the region come to visit Northwest. I like working with people and you get to meet and talk with high school seniors, said Vicki Batterton, am- bassador. A Sigma Society member prepares to model a wed- ding gown during their second annual bridal show They are also there for any other group who needs help with a project. For exam- ple, they helped with the soil conservation and the applied science Career Day, she said. They also can go with field represen- tatives on recruiting assignments. These students are selected by the active student ambassadors. They interview every second semester and the students must be second semester freshmen with at least a 2.5 grade point average. Each ambassador receives a hundrd dollar scholarship and has to work two hours a week in the admissions office. It ' s going super. I ' ve been here two years and I ' d have to say this year is the best yet, said Steve Hall, advisor. Organizations 197- Chinese Student Club The Chinese Students club played a very important part in the lives of it s 34 members. The club, according to advisor Sharon Browning, provides a feeling of sharing their experiences in America. It also gives the Chinese students a chance to share their culture with Americans. They have dinners, dances and movies as ways of sharing differences in the two cultures, added Browning. The officers often kept very busy organizing special activities to keep the club members active. The du h activities included a Chinese dinner which had, ac- cording to Browning just fantastic food . They also had a Moon Harvest celebration with many games. Browning feels this club would be an important part of the life of any Chinese students who would find themselves in Maryville. It would provide a feeling of closeness needed. All of us, when we ' re in a foreign country, have a good feeling when we meet someone from home Browning said. The funds for the Chinese student s . club activities came mainly from dues and contributions. The club had no major plans for the next year, but according to Browning, Something will be going on. They are always doing something. -Bob Adams Harambee I ' d Hke to find a way to get more peo- ple involved with Harambee. We want everyone to come, said Roy Jones, Harambee president, I want to stress that Harambee isn ' t just for blacks. We haven ' t done very much this year because of low membership, said member Jacquline Johnson. The group ' s office was located in the union and had around 30 members,Jones said, Harambee is a non-profit organization that stresses black aw areness and black history on the campus. We tried to raffle a ham around Christmas time. We were planning on giving the money to the needy, but we just didn ' t raise the amount we expected tOy Jones said. Right now we ' re planning on having a ' Gong Show ' [talent show] to raise money for a speaker. I ' m hoping we have a good turn out for that. Harambee is an African word that means coming together .- We ' re here to help all students, not just blacks, Jones said. If students are having pro- blems they can bring their matters to us and we ' ll try to get it resolved. -Kama Michalski -International Student One of the purposes of the Interna- tional Students Organization, according to president Mehmet Sencicek, was to help studet s from other countries adapt to the differences between their own culture and that of Maryville. Monies made from membership dues and a talent show were used to buy sup- pHes, stationery, and other necessities for running the group. Sencicek said he hoped the organization could arrange more money and with that go on trips and have picnics. The organization held an International Dinner similar to last year ' s. At the ban- quet , one could view fashions from dif- ferent countries and sample cuisine prepared by students of different nations. At the talen show, organization members performed dances and unusual talents that many people from the Maryville area were unfamiliar with. Sencicek said some popular acts were Jamaican dancers performing reggae dances and belly dancers from the Middle East. President Sencicek said the group met twice a month in the Governor ' s Room to discuss the well-being of foreign students in a different culture; to help in academic areas; and to establish good relations with students, staff and faculty. Organization 199 ii -Orchesis Organized to further the training of skilled dancers in modern, jazz, tap and ballet techniques, the Orchesis Dance Ensemble rehearsed throughout the year for their March 17 recital. Twenty-five members were selected for the year from auditions held by sponsor Ann Brekke. This was the first year that Orchesis was offered for credit hours. Members spent the first semester toning up and exchanging ideas. Interest in dance as a performing art has expanded a great deal in the past several years, said Dierdre Duffy, public relations director for the group. We ' ve seen a definite increase here on campus, especially in regards to the number of men who are interested in dance. President Terri Sash said, We ' d like to get more support and more people in- volved. The second semester was used to work on the dances themselves and technique most of the dances in the recital were those the members made up themselves. Some Renaissance dances which the group performed in Kansas City and Madrigal Feaste at NWMSU were new types added to the recital. Our main goal is to present dance on this campus as an artistic activity, not merely as a way to stay in shape, although that too is a goal, Duffy said. -Pat Reves .Sigma Phi Dolphins The addition of 18 new constituents brought the membership of the Sigma Phi Dolphin synchronized swim club to a record level of 25 members. The team met each Thursday to prac- tice for their 34 annual spring show, the theme of which was Only In Your Dreams, and was based on songs of dreams and fantasy fulfillment. Proceeds from the four performances went toward a scholarship for a member or members of the group. The recipient of the award is chosen by the group and club sponsor Barb Bernard. A new look was brought to this year ' s show by the addition of local students age 10 to 14. Sigma Phi members met with young swimmers each Saturday morning to help them work on style and technique. Peggy McCoy, vice-president for this years team , said one reason for the team ' s growing popularity could be the fact that it is a non-competitive sport. Members are encouraged to simply enjoy themselves and strive to do their in- dividual best. President Becky Meyer said she felt that the new pool, increased membership and dedication have lifted the Dolphins to the position they are at today. Revenues from the annual performance and swimming lessons for members of the community were used to aid students as they strove toward future goals. Said Meyer, We are growing stronger in all the right ways! Dolphin members Janice Christie and Andrea Navotny worlc out in the Foster Aquatic Center. Organizations s u o ( 3 e E o w u o t 3 e M Club Selling tickets to football and basket- ball games, peddling programs, working concessions and acting as security guards are just a few of M-Club member ' s duties. There are approximately 130 members. Not all members attended the regular meetings on the first Thursday of each month. Two representatives from each sport had to attend the meetings or the sport which the two members didn ' t at- tend had to pay twenty-five dollars to the M-Club. M-Club gives varsity atheletes recognition for work they have done, said Mary Jane Dennis, M-Club member. In order for a member to receive their letter jacket, they must work at two varsi- ty athletic activities. Vic Coleman, M-Club member, said, It is a letter person ' s club. When a member becomes a senior, they are given a senior blanket that has all of their col- lege athletic achievements. This year they recognized Dr. David Bauman for his assistance with M-Club. M ' Club is a good organization which includes many of the students on campus and they are proud to be in it. It stands for more than just sports participation and represents leadership and academic achievement, said Brian Heath. It is still continuing its growth in the university athletics of Northwest. Organizations 1 Soccer-Women ' s The Women ' s Soccer Club at NWMSU enjoyed a successful season with a 2-2-1 record in only its second year of existence. The group raised funds for their equip- ment and transportation through raffles and a grant from the Student Senate. The fact that most of the money came from the hard work of the individual members, however, lent substance to the idea that this club was willing to accept that challenge of becoming a team instead of folding, as many teams often do very ear- ly from lack of support. It was a very successful season for the girls. Once they started to play as a team they handled opponents well, said Dr. Gus Wegner, coach. Wegner also praised the hard-working captain of the team, Laurie Roland. Roland, however, refused to accept all the credit. Because of the enthusiasm of the girls to contribute to the club, Laurie said, The work off the field made for a close-knit team on the field. We were the best organized group of all the teams we played. The team won its first game ever at home this year, a 6-0 drubbing of the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Earlier in the year the girls had lost a tough over- time match, but from then on it looked as if women ' s soccer was on the rise at Nor- thwest. Besides raffles, the club planned a car wash and a candy sale, as well as a sum- mer soccer camp for the youth of the Maryville area to raise funds for a soccer trip to Colorado next year. -Barry Dachroeden .Soccer-Men ' s Although the Men ' s Soccer Club suf- fered through a winless season in 1982, Dr. Gus Wegner, coach, pointed to in- juries to key players and a tough schedule, which included such teams as Creighton University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, as factors in the pro- blem. The team also played without a captain for the first half of the season, and this contributed to the crisis the team was forced to weather. Wegner gave much credit to Scott Garey, who stepped in to give leadership to the Bearcats. Scott has a high degree of interest and enthusiasm for the game, and the way he ran the team gained him respect, said Wegner. During the season, the team traveled to Minnesota to participate in the Golden Gopher Tournament. Funds for the trip, as well as for equipment and official ' s fees for home games, came from raffles and a soccer camp that was held during the summer. Additional money was ob- tained through a petition to the Student Senate. Also, the team planned to participated in an indoor soccer tournament, which was to be held at the University of Nebraska-Omaha in March. Wegner said he expects a completely different situation next year. Efforts to recruit new players for the team were made, and everyone remained positive about the coming sea son. He added that seniors Craig Williams, Kevin Malottki and Dean Gute contributed greatly to the development of soccer at Northwest from the very beginning, and will be sorely missed next year. -Barry Dachroeden Organizations 203- 1 4 -Chorale Ebony Tuxedos and shimmering dresses came together in a spectacular ex- hibition as 135 voices burst forth with melody after melody of vibrant soul- sturring music. Thus began another year of chorale. Perfoming on Parents ' Day and again during the Christmas Concert, Chorale members sang such pieces as Alexander ' s Rag-Time Band and Chanukah , a song about the eight-day Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the temple. Chorale members also performed at the Spring Concert. It ' s such a large ensemble that it ' s relaxing to sing in, said Leland Lantz, it requires only two hours a week and we cover a variety of literature. Auditions are not required for joining Chorale. When asked if she thought the lack of auditions was an asset, Lori Bargin said, I think it is because a lot of people enjoy music but they don ' t have enough time to be dedicated one hundred percent, she added, this choir is mainly for everyone to enjoy music. It ' s a lot of fun because you meet peo- ple from all different majors and in- terests, added Christi Gilbert. It ' s one of the most fun classes on campus and anyone can take it. she added. Special part tryouts and row-by-row in- troductions as well as daily voice warm- ups and jokes helped Chorale members to get to know each other and helped the group become more tightly knit. I like it because the instructor is easy to get along with and I make a lot of friends. said Gerushia Adwell.

Organizations M adraliers Celebration The Madraliers and Northwest Celebra- tion are more than just singing ensembles, said director Richard Weymuth and manager Joyce Gieseke. They are also a close knit group; a family away from home. Over 100 students auditioned for the group, which is called the Madraliers dur- ing the fall semester and Celebration throughout the year. The hopeful prospects were narrowed to 48 and then six judges from the Midwest area were invited to chose the final group of 24. Immediately after auditions, rehearsals of three hours per week begin. Approx- imately one week later the performances start. The Madraliers performed at the Kan- sas City Renaissance Festival and hosted three Madrigal Feastes, one in Kansas Ci- ty and two on the Northwest campus. Celebration, which sings pop music, toured during the fall and performed at the Missouri Music Educators Conven- tion in Tan-Tar-A, Lake of the Ozarks. The group also hosted the annual Swing Choir Festival and performed a concert on campus. Celebration is assisted by a seven member band and a sound techni- cian. With these activities, the group members spend a lot of time together. We practically live in this building [Fine Arts] together, Gieseke said. They are my best friends, by my choice. It ' s a unique musical family that prides itself on its excellence in music, Weymuth concluded. -Barbie Cowan [first row] Byron Mitchell.

Members were selected through an open audition at the beginning of the semester. Director Byron Mitchell said the group ' s major performances included the program for the Homecoming luncheon, the Christmas cpncert, a spring concert and a fall and spring tour of area high schools. We perform a wide variety of reper- toire from very serious musical composi- tions to lighter, popular song, Mitchell said. Tower Choir practiced three hours per week. Members were encouraged to belong to University Chorale, but it was not required. Organization ' ■205 ' Many individuals attend football games just to see their favorite team against another, but the spectators get more for their money when they attend a NOR- THWEST BEARCAT football game. The reason for this is the spectacular half time show which features the Bearcat Mar- ching Band. The band consist of approximately 120 talented musicians, who combined together make beautiful music. The band performed the more up to date modern jazz type songs, with a few revised classical ballots, such as Georgia . Under the direction of Al Sergei, and drum major Jeff Lean, with assistant Ernest Woodruf, the band perfects every note as well as marching every step perfectly. Half times of football games isn ' t the only time the marching Bearcats perform. They also perform at the pre-game ac- tivities, homecoming parades, and went on tour. The band toured in parts of Iowa and Missouri to recruite new prospective band members. This year was a year of im- provements, the band grew from last year, and has performed well. stated band director Al Sergei. -Lisa Holder lOrganizations iswat - lB- Ill Jazz Band The Northwest Missouri State Universi- ty Jazz band became a big part of the school ' s music program. The 22 member band performed in many concerts, in- cluding the Senior Day Concert and at the Annual NWMSU Jazzfest, in which up to 18 high school bands participated. The band also went on tour in February to nine high schools, eight of which were in Iowa. According to Jazz band director, A.E. Sergei, these concerts and the tour were very necessary for the maturity of the NWMSU Jazz band. We are gearing our playing, especially the tours, toward larger schools in hopes of recruitment. Also, we are playing in front of larger audiences to give the band more confidence. It lets them feel as though they are playing in front of a real audience and it helps build up the band ' s morale, said Sergei. Two changes helped mold the Jazz band into the fine performers they were this year. They were concentrating on a broader scope of music literature and diversifying the types of music they play. According to Sergei, this helped promote audience interest and gave the people in Jazz band a wider education of music. Also, the gand established a regular rehearsal time. This move was to help the band become more organized and profes- sional. Sergei said the need for a jazz band on campus was important for both music and non-music majors. The music major should participate because in today ' s schools Jazz band is in- cluded in the music curiculum. The students will need to know about it if they want to find a job. If anyone else has the desire to participate I feel they should. Life isn ' t all reading, writing and arithmetic. Jazz band is an excellent outlet for those who need one for their energy. It breaks the monotony of college life. -Bob Adams Concert Band Abundant growth best describes one of Concert Bands goals that was met this year as attendance grew by one third of last year ' s size. The 82 student Concert Band practices three and one half hours a week playing pieces ranging from music to calm the savage beast to ones reminis- cent of restless natives. When asked what benefit she receive from Concert Band, Linda Lewis replied, It increases my musicianship by giving me a chance to perform with other musicians. The music we play varies greatly and so develops me to play different styles of music. The year ' s activities ranged from a band banquet to a tour of nine schools located in Missouri and Iowa. Concerts such as a former concert held at the end of the second semester also occuppied band members time. Besides giving students an opportunity o play in a band, Concet Band also of- fered leadership positions to the members. This years officers were: Presi- dent Kristi Aubrey, Vice-President Leland Lantz, Secretary Treasurer Marcia Hoyt. The main purpose is to receive feedback form the band and take it to the directors and in tis manner get things accomplish- ed, said President Kristi Aubrey. In Concert Band, the closeness is pre- sent this year more than last year, I feel like I ' m more part of a family. added Kristi Aulrey. Organizations 207- Flag Corp Steppers While the band is making spectacular music, the corps and steppers sure bring the crowds attention to them as well as the band itself. There are 16 Flag Corps ac- companied by 12 steppers. The Flag Corps spend a great deal of extra hours on the side. The girls make up their own routines and once they have all the moves figured out, they spend more hours get- ting all the moves perfected. The flags begin practice when football season starts. They practice everyday for about two hours or more. They only perform at half time, but they made one exception and performed at a concert. It is fun, it takes a lot of work and it adds a lot to the band. commented flag corps member, Susan McCunn. Like the Flag Corps, the Steppers also design their own routines and spend long hours working for perfection. Vania Pope states, Practices were a lot of hard work, but it all paid off when you performed and everyone cheered for you. Way to get involved in school and be active. I really liked working with Mr. Sergei and the two captains Robin Pierpoint and Janet Beatty. They did a fantastic job working with us. replied, freshmen step- per, Jane Searcy. Cheerleaders-Varsity At the end of cheerleading elections in March, six women and seven men took on the tremendous responsibility of pro- moting school spirit. They had auditioned for cheerleading positions before a panel of judges. They were tested on physical fitness and gym- nastic abilities as well as on personality. In order to keep up their energy and practice routines, the cheerleaders met three times a week practicing two hours at a time. Cheerleaders were required to be full- time students and have a grade point average of not less than 2.0. Their activities included cheering at every NWMSU basketball or football game. National Collegic Cheerleading Competition, cheerleading camp in August, and fund raising projects with which they purchased uniforms and paid travel expenses for going to away games. Norhtwest Missouri State University Cheerleaders belong to the MIAA con- ference which is the only conference allowing freshman to try out. I think over the past ten years cheerleading has changed a lot, becoming more difficult because of gymnastics, said sponsor Vinnie Vaccaro, having good men cheerleaders this far north is a new frontier. Cheerleaders-Wrestling Ruth McGinlzrey, Karen Nelson, Cindy Smith, Denise Sherry and Tammie Glasgow all played a key role in the Bear- cats wrestling matches. The women work- ed as hard as the ' Cats by practicing twice a week for two hours a day to form the wrestling cheerleaders. The women not only cheered at all mat- ches, but also provided publicity for the meets. Traveling with the team was also part of the cheerleaders lives. On these road trips the team would often eat one of the members homes. Besides the meets, the wrestling group also had a Christmas party sponsored by coach Gary Collins at which the wrestlers presented the cheerleaders with a rose. The coach also sponsored a steak barbe- que during the spring. This is my second year being a wrestl- ing cheerleader, said McGilzrey, and it ' s a lot of fun because we are such a close group. -Drew Burkey Organizations 209- Accounting Society [first row] Sharon Durkin, Melinda Jensen, Karen Schoeller, Judy Stevens, president; Denise Pratt, treasurer; Anne Marie Dattilo, Angela Roberts, Pam Niehiser, Jan Harms, [second row] Jan Stone, Amy Beth Hooker, Laura Leander, Dan Smith, membership chairman; Jackie Petsche, Julie Swope, secretary; Johnna Ferguson, Cherie Hunt, Debbie Freese, Laurie Maassen.

Nl Organizations 231- GAMES —232 For many of us, recreation helps us enjoy life a little bit more. Nor- thwest offers many forms of recreation as far as sports are con- cerned. Some people enjoy the competition and team work that varsity sports takes. Students wanting to participate on a college team have a wide choice to chose from. Football of- fers the hardknocks while tennis and crosscountry offer a less physical sport. Intramurals let students have the same enjoyment as do the varsity sports, but with inter-college com- petition. Teams can be comprised of all males, all females or co-eds. Whatever sport we get involved in, we want to pack in the victories as well as the good times.

The Bearkitten cross-country team was coached by Pam Medford. Members of the team included seniors Chris Busing and Lisa Shingledecher and freshmen Lin- da Carnes, Allison Cole, Bonnie Craig, Pam Janssen, Ann Kelley, Sherri Reynolds, Shelly Sheets, and Janelle Yepsen. The Kittens had a very busy year, par- ticipating in ten meets during the three- month cross country season. These meets included Norhtwest ' s own Bearkitten In- vitational, Midwest Classic at Des Moines, and the UMR Invitational. The Kittens had to overcome their inex- perience in order to be as successful as they were. The team, comprised of two seniors and eight freshmen, captured one second place and two third place stan- dings in the season. It ' s hard to be confident when you ' re a freshman. said Pam Janssen, I don ' t- know the runners on some of the other teams. Janssen was the top Bearkitten runner during the cross-country season. She was the number one finisher for the Kittens in every meet of the season. Her winnings in- cluded a seventh place in the Western In- vitational and 24th place in the Ozark In- vitational where she ran against four Divi- sion I schools. She has good endurance and runs hard in the beginning of a race and hangs on. Pam is a gutsy runner. said Pam Medford. Other good performances were put in by Sherry Reynolds and Lisa Shingledecker. The Bearkitten team improved steadily throughout the course of the season. Next year ' s cross-country team should prove to be excellent with the return of a more ex- perienced group of runners. The Bearcat cross-country team had an excellent year, placing first at the Bearcat distance classic, the W Club Invita- tional, and the Tri-meet vs NEMO, and CMSU. Also, the NCAA Division II coaches cross-country poll placed Norhtwest Missouri State University at 11th in the country. The Bearcat team was coachd by Richard Alsup. Its members included Jim Ryan, Mark Davis, Steve Swanson, Clint Walker, Brad Ortmeiser, Brian Murley, Greg Crowley, John Yuhn, Steve Leach, Tim Hendrickson, Kevin Miller, David Groth, and Mark Frost. We are a strong team and I don ' t think all of the runners are really aware of that, said Alsup, we haven ' t been blown away by any other teams in our divisions. Team captain Ryan proved to be the most successful Bearcat cross-country runner. He was repeatedly the first Bear- cat finisher. His wins included first places at the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational and at the NEMO, CMSU Tri-meet. He also placed third at the University of Missouri-Rolla Invitational. Other top runners for the Bearcats were Mark Davis, John Yuhn and Tim Hen- drickson, all of who placed high in Bear- cat finishes. The Bearcat cross-country team will have to work hard to live up to the stan- dings they achieved last fall. The members of the team are confident that they will have a good season next year. There are many runners who will be returning with added experience. -Bob Adams (first row] Brad Ortmeier, Trevor Cape, Steve Leach, Tim Henrickson, Eric Bullock, Clint Walker, Mark Frost, Mark Davis, Mike Still, [second row] Joe Williams, assistant coach; Kevin Miller, Steve Wallers, Brian Murley, Mark Glaspie, John Yuhn, Thayne Riffel, Ned Hancock, Rich Alsup, head coach.

The major change which took place was the replacing of the head coach. Jim Johnson took over the position, when head coach Jim Wasem decided to leave. Johnson stepped into the spot in the spr- ing of 1982 and guided the Bearcats to the MIAA division championship. The Bearca ts defeated Southeast Missouri State University for the MIAA division title. Southeast had been the MIAA southern divi- sion winner in the spring playoffs. Not only did the Bearcats win the division championship. Coach Johnson was also selected as MIAA Baseball Coach of the Year, his first year at Northwest. To go along with their second division championship, in the last three years, Johnson ' s Bearcats were one of the few teams selected to play in the NCAA Midwest Regionals. The regionals took place in May of 1982 in Edwardsville, 111. In the NCAA Midwest Regionals, the Bearcats dropped a close 5-4 decision in the opening game of the playoffs. This, however, did not discourage the Bearcats as they came back to win their second game against SIU-Edwardsville, 4-3. The ' Cats were then eliminated in the third game of the regionals by Mankato State, 4-2. The ' Cats brought home the third place trophy from this event. A major contributor to the Bearcats ' suc- cess is the fall baseball conditioning schedule which started in September of this year. During the fall workouts, the individual players work on improving their weaknesses, and sharpening their strengths, as well as learning how to work with each other as a team. The 1983 baseball season looks tough for the Bearcats again as they face another demanding schedule. The schedule is filled with some very good Division I and II com- petitors. The Bearcats will open the new season, facing last years ' College World Series winner- Wichita State. Other top teams the Bearcats will have to contend with will be St. Cloud State, Missouri Western, Nebraska- Omaha, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska and William Jewell. The Bearcat ' s will by far be playing one of the toughest schedules of any Division II team in country. Coach Johnson ' s Bearcats finished their 1982 spring semester with a record of 26-17-1. ■ iwwiivnt win w «Kl8t,«viti urn INNING Eyisis 6im mm ooi a i Paul England watches as Brian Quinn attempts a tag at second.

Team members could be spotted throughout the campus following rigorous practice schedules or just trying to stay shape individually for the tough seasons that awaited them. Often the practices started months before the actual season did and often the practices were not only in the afternoons but also in the wee morning hours. For in- stance, the football team began practicing before the fall semester began and those practices all started earlier than many of them would like to remember. The teams at Northwest were not only comprised of talented members, but also of athletes practicing to win. Women out for the track team found that a practice usually involved many laps around the track. Baseball team members contently watch from the dugout while other team members practice out on the field. —238 Practices Often times the effort required for practices far ex- ceeded that actually required by the real thing. A baseball team member finds that rounding the bases still called for the same effort even it didn ' t mean the difference between a victory or a defeat. Practices Dedication, determination and hard work help Nortwest runners take . . . TOP HONORS Consistant performances, determination and a lot of sweat were the qualities that lead the 1982 Bearcats Men ' s Track team to a se- cond place finish in the MIAA Track and Feild Championship. It was the second straight outdoor run- nerup finsh for the ' Cats. In addition they also won the conference indoor title earlier in the year. There were other highlights for the season, six school records were established and four events qualified for the NCAA Div. II track and feild meet; the steeplechase, the discus, the 1600-meter relay team and the pole vault. , , Jim Ryan, who ran the steeplechase, finished fifth at the meet with an all-time personal collegiate time of 8:59.59. The fifth place finish earned Ryan All-Amencan honors. r. ■ , . Charlie White, discus thrower, finished 1 5th at the meet with a throw of 143-9. John Rockhold, pole vaulter, failed to clear the opening height of 15-4. The 1600-meter team, consisting of Paul White, James Robinson, Gene Stillman and Keith Youngblood, finished last in its quali- fying heat, running a time of 3:15. As it turned out, the team would have had to run no slower than 3:12 to make the finals. The team ' s season best mark was 2:12.71. The team, as a whole, also did extremely well. The team placed first at NWMSU In- vitational, [which had ten teams competing], and NWMSU Five-Team meet. The squad also placed second at Lincoln University Quad meet and Central Missouri State University Mule Relays. James Robinson breaks the tape at 3:12.71 to qualify the 1600 meter relay team for the NCAA Division II meet. Vaulting his way to the NCAA Divison II meet with height of 15-10 ' 2 is senior John Rockhold. ■ s-.x-.. .1 Leading the team in the 440 yard relay is Ron Nared AA omen ' s Track When you mention the 1982 women ' s track season and then ask for a name, Dixie Wescott is the one that comes to mind. Westcott set a javeHn throw record of 133-7 which quahfied her for the NCAA District II track meet. Westcott also helped the team in the 100 meter and 440 yard relay. The team itself, however, had a disappoin- ting year. The women finished last at the MIAA conference track meet, the first of its kind to be held. Other key members were Lee Anne Brown, Vickie Gordon, Lisa Shingledecker and Aileen Kreinert. Head coach, Pam Medford, said that even though the team didn ' t always place high in the standings, everyone on the team per- formed their best. It takes a lot of guts and motivation to come out everyday like the girls did, Med- ford said. I don ' t think I have coached a more dedicated group than these girls.

The ' Kittens also placed sixth in MIAA tourna- ment at Cape Girardeau. Also during the summer, Pam Staneck, head coach, left Northwest for Bradley University. We had a young team and as a result we just didn ' t play that well, said Jacque Schantz, number one singles player. Schantz finished the season with the most wins (11). In the eleven team Western tournament the ' Kittens finisher with 24 points as Southwest Baptist won the affair with 50 points. The ' Kittens were led to their finish by number six player, Susie Burch, who won the championship at the sixth position. Burch won 6-4, 6-2 in that division. The ' Kittens concluded their season with the first ever MIAA Women ' s champion- ship. The women ' s season was quickly put to an end as they finished last with zero points thus ending a disappointing year. We had the potential, but just didn ' t work up to our potential, said Mary Jane Dennis. Dennis was the only returning net- ter form the previous year. We had a young team, said Dennis. There were a lot of freshmen and a few others that hadn ' t come out before playing .

Highlighting the season was an early trip to Mexico and a record setting season by Jim Gerstner. Gerstner beat a nine year old record that was set by Paul White. Gerstner had a season standing of 26-4, while White in 1973 had a 26-3 season. Gerstner added to his claim the number four position at the MIAA tourna- ment. The trip to Mexico consisted of three mat- ches against the University of Mexico. The ' Cats took two of the three matches. Mary Jane Dennis serves one up during the 1982 season. Dennis was one of the few returnees for the ' Kit- tens in 1982. It was a good, educational trip, said coach Jim Byrd. They paid our expenses down there. We didn ' t play as much as we would of liked to. The weather was great and things went well for us. The ' Cats improved on their previous season record by placing third in the con- ference behind Northeast and Southeast. Byrd attributes the new season record to scheduling. We had a little better team than I thought we would have, at the start of the year. The guys participated in a lot of mat- ches, said Byrd. -Dewayne McClellend Jacque Schantz (front) and Anei Mitchell work together on their doubles game, scnantz and Mitchell were the number one doubles team in 1982.

The Bearcats stumbled through a 2-7-1 season and were forced to play many times with rumors of Jim Redd ' s coaching position flying about. To add to these woes, the ' Cats were injury-plagued throughout the season. Five days prior to the Bearcats ' last game of the season, against Moringside, Redd ended those rumors with his resignation of the coaches position, effective Dec. 31 . Redd ended 19 years of being associated with Bearcat football, the last seven being head coach. Redd cited lack of support from the ad- ministrative side as his main reason, even though he thought he had the support of the students and the booster club. Prior to the 1982 season the Bearcats were supposed to be strong offensively. All- MIAA picks, Greg Baker, Dale DeBourge and Brian Quinn were back to lead the charge. The main question left to be answered was, could the defense be rebuilt. Redd and his staff were forced to replace people like Al Cade, Qharlie White, Chip Gregory, Greg Lees and Jim Schemwell. This defensive unit was near the top in MIAA defensive statistics of a vear ago. But it wasn ' t meant to be for the Bearcats as crippling injuries to Quinn, Bruce Lang and Gary Cotton against Augustanna, forc- ed the ' Cats into a injury prone year the rest of the campaign. Those three injuries really hurt, Redd said. A young team look- ing for a lot of things and that really hurt. Overall our record as far as wins and losses was a dissappointment. I was real pro- ud of the way the team held together and gave it their all each time they went on the practice field or game day. It got tough after midseason when on the rumors started about my personel situation but they hung in their and played tough. The Bearcats were a close-but-no-cigar team several times during the year. Last second mistakes by young team, officials judgements and little things might have cost the Bearcats victories against Missouri Western, Rolla and Lincoln. We felt like we had the talent to defeat Augustanna, Redd said. We were able to drive on them until penalties and injuries hurt us. The Missouri Western game we had one but a judgement call hurt us and the Lin- coln game we had it won but let them off the hook. Despite the darkness there was the sunny spots durine the season such as Jeff Linden leading the nation in punt returns or Byan Shaw racing down the sidelines, hauling in another pass as he broke three school records. Shaw set three school records during 1982. The sophomore receiver gathered in 40 passes to break the old mark of 37 set by Bob Albanese in 1965 and Brad Boyer set in 1978. Also Shaw ' s 650 receiving yards broke Boyers record of 559 set in 1978. Shaw also averaged 65 pass receiving yards per game to break Albanese ' s 1965 record of 61.8. The defense was young at the start but came on to play tough football. Brian Heat, Pete Barrett along with Brian Bowers and Jim SMith played outstan- ding defense as they were a vital part of our team along with the specialty teams, Redd said. The Bearcats placed six players on the all- MIAA conference teams, with Dale DeBourge leading the way as he was named to the first team from his backfield spot. Shaw was honored as he was picked by con- ference coaches for the second team. Barrett, Linden, Heath and Ken Johnson made the honorable mention. It wasn ' t a disaterous season but a season of valules that has built the ground for future Bearcat football teams. —244 ' Football Dale DeBourge(40) heads off tackle against Southeast Missouri in homecom- ing action.

On the way to that second place finish, several individual records were broken. Toni Cowen finished her career with 199 saving digs, just ten ahead of teammate Deb Scribner who has 189. Angi Kidwell, with 658 career kills, is the all-time career leader in that department. Cowen and Kidwell also wrapped up leadership in two other departments. Cowen ' s career total of 171 serving aces is 50 better than the previous record, while Kidwell ' s 383 blocks merely pads the lead she had entering the season. Three of the ' Kittens earned all-MIAA honors. Toni Cowen was named to the seven-player first team and Mary Beth Bishop and Deb Scribner were named to the seven-player second team. Head coach Susie Homan, who also set a record by becoming the first coach to have a .500 season and that there wasn ' t anything she would change if she had to do it over again. Obviously, we would have liked to have won more games, but we played 1 1 tough NCAA Division I teams, Homan said. In the beginning, it took us a while to play as a team. We were playing with five freshmen and anytime you have that many new people, there has to be a period of adjustment. Homan also praised the efforts of seniors Toni Cowen, Debbie Cone and Deb Scribner. Cowen is a leader on and off the floor. Cone really came alive her last year here and went out with style and Scribner has the guts and determination that makes her a great player, Homan said. They were a definite asset to this program. Homan is optomistic about next year ' s season as well. The whole team is made of outstanding players. Kidwell, Bishop, Darla Melcher, Kelly Greenlee and Cheryl Ahlquist are just some of the players who played extremely well, Homan said. You can go up and down the line-up and all the players had their moments in the sun. -Alan Cross 1 i The ' Kitten spikers huddle before taking on the op- ponent in Lamkin Gym Serving was one of the kittens strong points.

The ' Cats finished the conference por- tion of the schedule with a 7-5 mark, good enough for third place behind Southeast Missouri and Central Missouri. I don ' t think people realize that there has been only one team in the last 42 years to have more wins than this year ' s team, Sinn said. And that was last year ' s team. Sinn had one talented person to build his team around. Victor Coleman was the top returning scorer (13.2 points) from last year ' s team. Vic game us a talented player with somewhat of a total game, Sinn said. His consistency and leadership has shown up in every game during the season. Coleman had a great year. Prior to the season, Coleman was 13th on the all-time scoring list with 712 points. Going into the MIAA post-season tournament, Col- eman had raced to the number three spot with 1,228 points. Coleman also holds the single-season scoring mark of 235 field goals going into post season action. The Bearcats opened the season with an exhibition game against the Turkish Na- tional team, November 13 in Lamkin. Bearcat fans got a glimpse of what was to come as the ' Cats took a close 73-69 win. We showed we need a lot of polish and we showed a lot of heart, Sinn said. Early in the year we were not a good team, Sinn said. When we started to play at home we started to gain some con- fidence and performed better, Sinn said. How right he was. After doing their share of road-tripping, the ' Cats started off the 1983 part of the schedule with six straight wins before falling to Northeast Missouri State, 59-58 at Kirksville. We turned the ball over three times after we got the lead because of their guard pressure, Sinn said. The Bearcats might have done a lot bet- ter if they could have scheduled all their MIAA games at home. At home, the ' Cats were 13-1, while on the road their mark was 4-9. After being upset by Northeast and dropping away games to Central and Southeast, the ' Cats were out of the MIAA race. But when Centrall Missouri came to town, riding atop the league, the Bearcats dropped the Mules back into se- cond place and put Southeast back on top. Dave Honz played like a madman. His teammates played like their barks were against the wall and the home crowd played an equal role as the ' Cats upset the Mules 60-55. We got a little tired in the second half. but we made up our minds that we would play hard for 40 minutes and we did just that, Sinn said. It was one of our big- gest wins of the year. Southeast didn ' t return the favor to the ' Cats when they came to Lamkin Gym- nasium on February 23. They literally blew the ' Cats away 92-59. The Indians went on to win the MIAA for the straight year. The ' Cats were able to bounce back and defeat Lincoln 76-65 in the regular season finale in Lamkin. The game was the last home game for Bearcat seniors Dave Kolar, Scott MacDonald and Ricky Owens. The ' Cats faced Central Missouri State in the first game of the MIAA post-season tournament, March 3. The winner played March 5 on the court of the higher seeded team. The tournament champion automatically qualified for the NCAA Division II South Central Regional tour- nament. Coleman led the team in just about every statistical category. The Danville, VA native led the team in field goals (235), field goal shooting percentage (.55 percent), free throws (46-65), rebounds and rebound average (170-6.3) points and points per game (519-19.1), assists (113) and steals (37). -Dwayne McClellan Going up for two, Todd Gordon flies over an op- posing Missouri Western player as teammate Victor Coleman looks on.

Wait a minute! This is the 1982-83 season, not 1981-82. True. But it was the end of the 1981-82 high school season that brought Winstead seven of the most talented freshman in the MIAA conference, the freshman, coupled with the experience of the upper classmen, gave Bearkitten fans a year to remember. The Bearkittens accumulated an overall season record of 17-9. The ' Kittens claim- ed third place in the MIAA behind the number two-rated team in the nation, Central Missouri State University, and Southeast Missouri State. Those two teams accounted for four of the ' Kittens losses. Winning is not the most important thing, however, it ' s how you play the game. The ' Kitten players played the game about as well as anyone can play. Seniors Mary Wiebke and Monica Booth ended their Bearkitten career by breaking school records. Wiebke ended her career by scoring 981 points over her four years at Northwest. That number places her in the seventh spot on the school ' s all-time scoring number list. But statistics don ' t tell the whole story. Wiebke has been labeled a pure shooter by many of the MIAA coaches. She plays with determination and she never gives up. Wiebke has been, and still will be, an inspiration to Bearkittens to come. When you talk about having a cool head, having a nose for the basketball, and making the big plays happen, then you are talking about Monica Booth. Booth is second on the school ' s all-time assists record with 377 career assists. This past season alone she had over 149 assists in 17 games. Booth has the ability to tear a defense apart because she always hits the open man. Juniors, Julie Gloor, Betty Olson and Kiane Kloewer had an extremely pro- fitable year. Gloor has been called the best sixth man in the conference. Olson had five games where she was either top scorer or tied for being top scorer. Then there is Diane Kloewer. Kloewer ended the regular season as being the Bearkitten ' s leading scorer, leading re- bounder and lead the team with 51 steals. Kloewer averaged 15.7 points a game and 7.6 rebounds. Kloewer was the leading scorer in nine games of the season. Sophomore Maria Sapp played an ex- tremely important role in the Bearkitten program. For the year, Sapp averaged 7.7 points and 4.0 rebounds a game. She also provided the much needed ball handling when the time was needed. Freshmen Deb Morris, Wendy Young, Karen Logullo, Kim Scamman, Holly Benton, Lisa Greenstreet and Christy Heldenbrand are the building blocks for the future, but had important roles in the present. --Alan Cross Encouragement form the sidelines shows the Bearkittens that Coach Wayne Winstead cares. Women ' s Basketball 253- Unfulfilled expectations After beginning the wrestling season with an impressive vicrtory in the Central Missouri State University tournament, and with a victory in the MIAA con- ference duals, the Bearcats of Northwest were favored to win their conference. Un- fortunately, Northwest only managed a second-place finish, while CMSU went on to become the conference champions. Northwest and CMSU had an equal share of first-place wrestlers, but the ' Cats end- ed up 33 ' 4 points behind the Mules in the team standings. Northwest ' s 1982-83 wrestling squad produced four conference champions in 150-pound Dale Crozier, 158-pound Bob Glascow, 167-pound Tony Burgmeier and heavyweight Todd Ensminger. Although the squad was pleased with their con- ference showing, one team member felt that with a little luck, Northwest could have won the MIAA wrestling title. We were favored to win conference, but we only finished second due to a lot of injuries. I think we were hurting mentally towards the end of the season which didn ' t help us in conference matches, said Tony Burgmeier. After finishing second to CMSU, coach Gary Collins sent six of his Bearcat wrestlers to the Midwest Regional in Kenosha, Wisconsin. According to Col- lins, after conference matches were com- pleted, the wrestlers were working on a more individual level. The Northwest wrestlers that competed in the Midwest Regional were Dale Crozier, Bob Glascow, Tony Burgmeier, Bill Eaton, Jeff Bradley and Todd Ensminger. Northwest ' s best performance came from 167-pound Tony Burgmeier, who finished the regionals with a third-place medal. He failed, however,to quaUfy for the NCAA Division II Championships held in Fargo, North Dakota. Burgmeier said, I quaUfied for na- tionals as a wild-card wrestlers. I think the experience factor will help us next year because the freshmen on the squad will be able to handle the pressures of collegiate wrestling. Although Northwest didn ' t place any wrestlers in the national tournament, several school records are on the verge of being broken by Dale Crozier. Currently, Crozier finds himself in second place on the all-time wrestHng list at NWMSU. Crozier has 82 victories which is just two short of Stan Zeamer ' s record holding 84 victories. While Coach ColUns credited Crozier with a lot of the team ' s success, Crozier boasted about teammate Bob Glascow. I think our team captain, Bob Glascow, does a good job, Crozier said. He is an outstanding wrestler, probably the best on the team. He helps a lot as he encourages the freshmen and brings the team together. •254 Wrestling In the 150-pound division, Dale Crozier works on his opponent ' s leg in an attempt to expose his back for mat points.

Wrestling ■255 ' Playing just for the fun of it The intramural sports program at Nor- thwest has been expanding over the past few years, while allowing faculty members and students to take a break from the books. Throughout the year some 5000 people participated in the 25 sports offered in the program in different divisions. Basketball ' s popularity was ex- emplified by the record number of par- ticipants this year (1100). Flag football also enjoyed a healthy number of players (650). Besides the aspirations of achieving his top physical condition and developing sportsmanship and principles of fair play, sophomore Thad Dawson par- ticipated in intramural wrestling for the competitive spirit. Scott Skeet McClelland wanted to find out if he could still wrestle. He said that although he discovered he couldn ' t, he still enjoyed the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Mark Hubbard said, It ' s a good way to meet other people who are interested in the same sports I Uke. Whatever the reasons, participants wanted T-shirts to go along with their per- sonal accomplishments. Bob Lade, coordinator of intramurals and recreation, commented that in com- parison with other schools, The turnout was as good as any school our size. We ' re tyring to get more people involved, and more interaction. He added that as a program, Northwest ' s is well above average. The leagues are open to all students and faculty members and are divided into various divisions: men ' s and women ' s fraternity and independent groups, and co-recreational teams. Flyers to dorms, radio announcements and newspaper advertisements were the major forms of publicity for the various sports. Overall winners were: Women ' s Division: Competitive: Mass Production; Recrea- tional: BAB Men ' s Division: Competitive: Cosmic Cowboys; Recreational: Supersonics; Fraternity Competitive: Phi Sigma Epsilon No. 1 Because of attendence problems in the recent past, a new system was introduced this year to the intramural program. If not enough member showed up for a team to compete, the team suffered a forfeit, and added onto this was a fine of five dollars. Compounded with this new pro- cedure, participation points were added to the points a team received for a high finish. These points were then added together to form a supremecy points score. Whichever team accumulated the most total points was declared the champion of the Greek or Independent groups, and each member was given a T-shirt. A photograph of the winning team overall was put in Lamkin Gym. Lade said that singles and doubles rac- quetball tournaments for men and women, water basketball, co-rec softball, and co-ed pillo polo , a kind of gym hockey game, have been introduced to this and next year ' s agenda. He also would like to see the co-rec sports expand in the near future. Finally, a major addition to the in- tramural competitions was a Coors In- tramural Campusfest , which Lade said, has several different activities each hour people could choose from. In this way, he noted, even more people could be in- volved in schoolwide athletic activities, and interaction would thus be increased even more. -Barry Dachroeden •256 Intramurals 1 1 Ilf If III Jf ■ ' ffS tL •viw. -it i .. •il .iw« «-4.--t ?. .;J--IL . a 1 Intramurals 257- The great escape Throughout the year, students looked for ways to occupy themselves during the weekend. Although many opted to take a quick trip home, others found things to do Saturday and Sunday to escape from thoughts of school work. During the winter, it was more difficult to keep busy. Fast snowball fights and bri sk walks were a few ways to get some fresh air and to get away from the dorms. Others fought winter blahs with indoor sports. For example, girls in Wilson Hall ' s basement got together several days a week and did aerobic excersises together. I think a physically active body is more attractive, said Roxanna Swaney. Our floor project idea got us out of our rooms and we got to know each other bet- ter. Racquetball was also a very popular campus sport. Appointments for the courts had to be made in advance because of its popular demand. I joined the Racquetball Club so I ' d have a scheduled time for physical activi- ty, said Tim Gach. It ' s good for keep- ing fit and estabhshing self-disipline. Rather than banging my racquet on the wall, I just keep playing. But when warmer weather finally arriv- ed in late February, almost everyone took to the great outdoors. The weekend of February 19, when temperatures reached the mid-60 ' s, students walked dogs, wash- ed cars and stretched muscles that had been indoors too long. As temperatures grew even warmer, students took advantage of the colleges outdoor facilities. Tennis courts were filled with amateur netters just out to excersise and catch a few rays. I ' m a tennis addict, Michelle Detty said. It ' s great excersise, you don ' t have to put a lot of money into it and I can play for the rest of my life. Runners packed the track around the football field. Some ran miles, but many jogged just past the point of tiredness. I like to run outside because it feels better on my lungs, said Denise Brosius. The air outside is so much cleaner than the hot sticky air indoors. It seems Uke I can run longer. Whatever the sport, students excersis- ed, ran, walked, batted and volleyed to escape the thoughts of schoolwork and tests. This not only helped the mind, but also helped the body. -Joanne Petersen A small rubber ball poses a challenge for Humphrey Minx and Nancy Suddarth as they play haki-sak in front of Hudson Hall.

I Aerobics is a good way for Julia Montgomery to stay in shape during the winter. Students used the facilities in both Martindale and Lampkin gyms throughout the year for fun and fitness. An increasingly popular sport on campus was ra- quetball. Courts were often full, and reservations were made in advance.

All of the program ' s outings and trips were open to students, staff and faculty. Some of the trips included optional credit. Fall activities of the program included horseback ride cookouts at the Rancho del Rayo, backpacking through the Ozarks near the Eleven Point River area and the second-annual Bald Eagle Rendezvous at the Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge. During the four-week break between first and second semester, two downhill skiing trips to Colorado were taken. Spring events included cross- crountry skiing, backpacking camping in the Big Bend National Park, a trip to South Padre Island, Texas, a .weekend campout at Indian Caves State Park in southeast Nebraska and a nature photography workshop. This year I ' ve gotten over 20 volunteers to help out, said Gates. Last year I was the only one which made things nearly impossible. Gates said that the Outdoor Program has become a real success and he at- tributes this to the volunteers, administra- tion and participants.

This was something brand new to us and it eas all very excitings, she said. In the past, formal rush was always in the fall, along with homecoming and everything else, so it was always pretty hectic. This year, by having formal rush in the spring semester, that was the only thing the sororities had to concentrate on. It really helped both the sororities and the rushees, said Barie. Each rushee had a whole semester to take a good look at Greek and independent life, so by the time rush came, they all were pretty sure what they wanted. Before, when formal rush was in the fall, so many freshmen girls would just go through to try and fit in, said Barie. The result was that many girls dropped out. This year we had fewer that ten girls drop out. That ' s really great. Every rushee that went through was really ex- cited about rush. Barie said Panhell surveyed both the sororities and rushees to see what they thought about the spring rush, but the outcome had not yet been announced. -Teresa Kincaid — 266T:r •268 Garrison, Gregg 237 Gaskin, Grace Benita 46 Gatchalian, Melissa 74 Garhart, Patty 221 Garretson, Sherri 90 Garrison, Julie 90 Garrison, Karan 220 Gates, Chris 74 Gates, Jeff 90 Geib, Carol 46 Geisert, Brad 145 Gelb, Darrell 74 Gerbeling, Richard 90 Gerhardt, Annilee 62 Gerhardt, Patti 46 Gibson, Gail 74 Gibson, Michael 46 Gibson, Nancy 46 Gibson, Shelly 90 Gieter, Nancy 74 Gieseke, Joyce 62 Gilbert, Christi 46 Gilbert, Russell 62 Gilchrist, Donna 46 Giles, Scott 90 Gille, George 144 Gillispie, Greg 62 Gillispie, Steve 90 Gilpin, Janet 62, 220 Ginther, Gemma 46 Gish, Dave 220 Gladstone, Jennifer 91 Glasnapp, Mike 237 Glaspie, Mark 91, 247 Glenn, Amy 74 Gloor, Julie 62 Goad, Craig 145 Goff, Kelli 62 Golden, Danette 74 Goode, Donelle 46 Goodwin, Barbara J. 62 Goodwin, Marcy 220 Gordan, Todd 250, 251 Gose, Warren 113 Gourley, Curtis 46 Gourley, Norman 91 Gorman, Avie 74 Gouldsmith, Ed 74 Grabill, Shetti 91 Graham, David 62 Graner, Ann 46 Graney, Mary Kay 74 Granquist, Rob 46 Gra ves, Jodie 91 Graves, Michelle 62 Gray, Russell 74 Green, Fahren 62 Green, Rhonda 91 Greenstreet, Lisa 91 Index Greenwood, David 46 Greer, Norris 113 Greever, Nancy 62 Gregory, James 144 Gregory, Pat 91 Gregory, Patrick 91 Greiner, Beth 91 Greiner, Clark 62 Greiner, Kimberlee 46 Grell, Marci 46 Griffey, Ronda 74 Griffin, Martin 221 Griffith, Marsha 91 Griffith, Stacie 74 Griffiths.

On Feb. 19, Ed Muscare broug ht his act along with comedian Mike Seallone and escape artist Charlie Myrick. Seallone warmed up the audience first, then Uncle Ed assisted Myrick with his straight jacket escape and rope trick. Competitors in a talent contest per- formed throughout the show for the prize of appearing in person on All Night Live. Members of The Sigma Phi Ep- silon fraternity performed an air band version of a medley of Rolling Stones songs, the Franken Rookies acted out a skit and Marty Mincer played Billy Joel ' s Rootbeer Rag on the piano. Mincer, from Hamburg, Iowa won the contest by an audience applause vote. It ' s great, a once in a life time occa- sion, said Mincer. It ' s the highlight of the year. Uncle Ed received the usual phone calls on the banana phone from Debert, Lee Cucarachi and Mrs. Walker, characters he got from the radio where he started in 1953. He also recorded the audience ' s recitation of two different All Night Live creeds to played on the show. The creed is partly responsible for the show ' s devoted viewers along with The Twilight Zone and the Three Stooges movies. After his piano performance of Something in the Way She Moves, Un- cle Ed held a Curly (from he Three Stooges) contest. Tim Beach, a freshmen from Sharp- sburg, Iowa who attended the perfor- mance said, I ' m really glad I got to see this because I think Uncle Ed is the greatest. I think it ' s neat that SUB can br- ing people like that. The actual cult figure of the show, Caf- feina. Uncle Ed ' s cat could not make it. The audience was able to help Uncle Ed name his new cat Nicotina. -Pat Reves A participant in the Three Stooges contest, Scott Meier performs his imitation of Curly.

The plant has proven to be a good financial venture. It saved the school $150,000 since its installation. The plant was constructed in an effort to offset rising fuel costs to the school. With its completion, NWMSU became the first school in Missouri to rely totally upon a different fuel besides fossil fuels. The wood fueled power plant is based on an established principle. It was design- ed similar to the old boiler system. It is sometimes compared with the process that a pan of boiling water goes through. It is very unique. This is a very sophisticated wood bur- ning system, said Gary McLaughUn, designer of the plant. The reason it is so sophisticated is because so far it has burnt everything that has been brought in, he said. Besides wood chips, this includes rubbish, chop foliage and a coal blend. Though the plant is operating efficient- ly now, its completion date had to be set back for five months due to various pro- blems. The plant had first been scheduled to be completed and in operation on January 1 , 1982. Unfortunately, the facility fell behind 30 days in its testing. The testing phase of the plant was then done in the latter part of February. The plant was to begin operations in March, after the testing period. In March and also in April, workers were required to repair problems which were found after the tests were completed. We had to make a few minor ad- justments, said Robert Bush, vice presi- dent of Environmental Development, but after that, everything ran well. Finally, in mid-May, the plant became operational and began to do its job; to take the place of 95 percent of all the fuel the University burns. The plant is now providing energy for everything except the Fine Arts Building, said Dick Auffert, assistant director of maintenance. Eventually every building on campus will be cooled or heated by steam. The plant has been paying big dividends to the school. According to Bush, the plant saved the school $150,000. He said cost for natural gas, the school ' s former major energy source, from December 15 to January 15 of last year was $166,000. Energy costs this year during the same period were only $86,000. Students at NWMSU have mixed views on the plant. I think it ' s a very good system, said freshman Kent Mercer. It ' s saved the school a lot of money. I feel kind of honored to have the plant here, said Greg Gillispie. After all, we ' re the only school to have a system like this. Others didn ' t see it in such a favorable light. I don ' t think it ' s working, said sophomore Julie Nelson. The showers are still cold in the morning and we ' ve been having trouble with our heat. There are still others who don ' t care either way. It doesn ' t make any difference to me, ' said Terry Anderson. Even with complaints from some studetns, many agree that the plant is a fine addition to this campus. -Bob Adams ■274 Wood Fuel Plant Stoking the fire, loads of woodchips are shoveled in- to the inside of the plant. I An NWMSU employee checks quages to see if the plant is working properly. Complex but simple, best describes the inside of the plant. The plant looks complicated, but is based on a simple method of heat production. A sign of the times, NWMSU ' s wood fueled power plant is the only one of its kind in Missouri. Woodchips are fed into the plant from the outside by a system of conveyor belts.

The new B.D. Owens library is con- sidered by many to be the most advanced library within the area. The multi-million dollar building features a highly complex computer sustem, a convenient location for most students, and more importantly, a fresh atmosphere in which to study. Although the building was new, students can still recognize those ever- familiar faces that roamed the floors and pointed their fingers at boisterous individuals-the library staff. With only a few exceptions, the entire library staff was involved in the move to the B.D. Owens library, and were employed at the new facility. The transition was welcomed by the staff, but their memories of the old library remained very vivid. It is nice to work in a library that has a quiet heating system, said Shawn Cor- derey, circulation assistant. At the old library, when the heat would turn on, the whole building would moan. Corderey wasn ' t the only library worker who remembered the heating pro- blems. Desk clerk, Cindy Kruckeberg, felt that the new library has a much better academic atmosphere. The heating and cooling system made working uncomfor- table at times in the old library, she said. Although the heating system was a ma- jor complaint in the Wells library, it seems that the stacks will live forever in the minds of the library staff. I definitely won ' t miss the stacks. They were just too crowded, which tended to make for a poor academic atmosphere, said Tracy Harnett. Michelle Conway agreed with Barnett by saying, It wasn ' t too fun having to sort books on five different levels. At times it felt like I was climbing Mount Everest. Working in the busiest part of the library, Pat Dan- ner is able to greet students as they enter and exit the building. - « I, 4M ■278 Library Kevin Lukes checks out books with Janet Jenson, a work-study desk clerk.

Students who join the club are asked to pay $20 a semester if they aren ' t involved in a sport, and $10 a semester if they are involved in a sport. The club gets new equipment each semester from St. Joseph, said Kevin James, Weight Club president. The money from dues is used to get the equip- ment. The club has two officers. Kevin James holds the office of president and Greg Hixon holds the office of vice president. The NWMSU Weight Club meets as a group twice each semester to discuss dues and new equipment. Once a student pays his or her dues, they receive a membership card. The card may then be used to check out the key to the weight room. That way members may work out any time they want to. Anybody who wants to join should join, said Greg Hixon. It ' s open to everyone. -Deb Smith Cooperation is the by-word for weight club members.

Students had the op- portunity to get together with friends and plan their own trip or take advantage of the trips sponsored by the university. The university, through the Outdoor Program, offered two trips during spring break 1982. One was to Padre Island, Texas, and the other was backpacking in Big Bend, Texas. During the Padre trip, students spent seven days and seven nights at the Bahia Mar Condominiums. Susan McCunn, a Jreshman last year from Red Oak, Iowa, said, I went because I was sick of snow and wanted to be in the sun. The con- dominiums were really nice. The temperature was about 85 degrees every day. There was a lot of planned entertain- ment and they gave away tons of stuff. While backpacking in Big Bend Na- tional Park, students hiked to BoquilHs and Elena Canyons. They also climbed to the highest peak in the park. Mount Emery, which is 7,835 feet high. Some other activities included hiking the Lost Mine Trail, travelling to Boquillas, Mex- ico, and a three-day backpacking tour on the Chisos Trail. One of the individually planned trips was to Daytona Beach, Florida. Delta Chi Mark Leggett planned the trip for himself •and 18 of his fraternity brothers. Leggett said, I have been going to Daytona Beach every summer since I graduated. The year before, a group went and last year we just expanded the trip. The Outdoor Program again offered the two trips to Texas this year. Spring break has been the traditional time to take a vacation because after spending one and a half semesters in school, students will always find places to break away. -Pat Reves Although the ocean was still a little too cold to go swimming, students at Padre Island still managed to get a tan. Northwest students Roger Wolken, Angela Jordan, Greg Cordes, Ed Heck, Dave Cordes, Steve Gates and Chris Gates stop to take a breath before hitting the trail at Big Bend. ! ■ S; I n A II I ( )nio Kxpri ss I ; ' Siiowbur r amaze ( ' ()l(l- vean Midwest iifa znii iiuit;ilioti Irak irk.« IJriloii.- The cold weather back home never seemed as far away as it did on the beach of Padre Island.

Owens Library open, restructuring of the academic system and tallc of merging Northwest and Missouri Western at St. Joseph. 60 students gave up their spring break to help transport books and materials from the Wells Learning Center to the new library. Upon our return from break we w ere greeted with the opening of the library after 3000 students hours and many weary staff hours. The Board of Regents continued work- ing on the restructuring of the academic system. The restructuring was being done to help move the institution from the col- lege like organization to a universtiy-like structure. The first divisions to be merged together were the Agriculture and Applied Sciences. Talk of merging Northwest and Missouri Western continued throughout the year, but no concrete action was taken. Besides keeping up with the University business, we managed to make new friends and combine efforts to assist in improving the university. We were of- fered activities that were educational as well as some that were purely recrea- tional. No matter the subject content, we packed in the fun times. As the year progressed each of us pack- ed in the memories that will stay with us a lifetime. There were the good times and of course the bad times, but it ' s these memories of the year that we will look back upon in future years and recall the year we packed it in. Playing make believe made a come back during the year. A fad known as air bands was popular on the NWMSU campus. Students imitated their favorite musicians by acting out their stage shows. NORTHWEST Mi: STATE UNIVEFIK FOUNDED IN 190 294 ' Northwest Missouri State University completed its seventy-eighth year as an institution of higher learn- ing. Vistors and student were reminded of this by the stone markers at the edge of campus. The biggest obstacle in many student ' s day was the weather. Students during the winter months were greeted with breezy sub-freezing temperatures. Students traveling form Garrett-Strong to the High Rises were always greeted with a gust of cold air. 295- s — JB F i ■297- ■298- 299- Paching in the year togethe The second floor of McCracken housed an unique group of individuals during the school year. This group ' s sole purpose was to produce the most interesting and most concise yearbook ever for NWMSU. The 20-plus students who worked on the book was first faced with the task of selecting a theme that they felt expressed the year. Packing it in, was the groups final selection. The theme was chosen for the feeling the students had about the campus and themselves. Working on a headline for the blurbs page, Debbie Eatock finds a comfortable perch to stay in w hile cutting out press type. Staffer Pat Reves draws a layout for her assigned spread for the final yearbook deadline. ■300 The assignments were posted and the production got underway. But like any other yearbook, there were little snags along the way that caused some rough times. Several staffers never had worked on a yearbook before and required special at- tention from the other more experienced staffers. Photography was always a cons- tant struggle for the staff. The staff never had the necessary number of photography and often times writers who had very little photography experience were forced to photograph events that would not of been covered. Tempers flared and personalities clash- ed but the work always got completed. Late work nights became an accepted fact of staff life. The book was completed in early March, but the staff ' s work kept going as they attempted to get a jump on the 1984 Tower. If the pages of the book could talk they would tell of the many hours put in com- posing the copy, taking and printing the photos, figuring the headlines, finalizing the layouts, proofreading, tool lining and the care with which they were completed. The year was packed in by a capable staff in a very short time period of six months. What a year! The staff surprised editor Mike Crawford with a bir- thday party. Those attending were: [standing] Crawford, Mary Jane Dennis, Mark Gardner, Deb- bie Eatock, Lisa Holder and Edmundo Barrera. [seated] Pat Reves, Callen Bateman, Deb Smith, Drew Burkey and Marnita Hein. ' . W Staff • v: t ' x . ' :?N.I c Filing identification for the group photos was a job undertaken by Lisa Holder.

Staff 301— leader of the path The book which is before you is the ef- fort of a staff that overcame many obstacles throughout the year to present you the best possible overall coverage of the year. In the fall, when most yearbooks are under production, we were still getting organized due to the change in advisors. Jessie Mercay, this years advisor, offered suggestions to the staff on photography as well as graphics. With her assistance the cover and opening pages were created. With a change in Photo Editors a month after school began, photography became a point of concern of the entire staff. Taking over the position was Edy Barrera. He brought to the staff a talent for repairing what appeared to be hopeless photos. Several members of the staff stuck out both semesters and deserve an extra pat on the back and big thank you. Those staff members were: Pat Reves, Joanne Petersen, Callen Bateman, Barbie Cowan, Lisa Holder, Edmundo Barrera, Deb Smith, Teresa Kincaid and Kama Michalski. These people stayed every late deadline night as well as picking up the slack created by less dedicated staffers. Without them, this yearbook would not exsist. One person from the above list deserves special recognition, Pat worked super hard at organizing the group pictures. Due to some unforseen reasons, the staff was left with the job of taking group pic- tures, a job for which we were not equip- ped or experienced for. Pat contacted groups, set up appointments, assigned photographers and staff members to assist with each group. This job took a lot of time as well as patience. Some groups had to be taken as many as four times before they turned out usable. Pat, here it is in black and white, thank you. Callen and Joanne were always around when the going got rough. I would like to thank them for all of their efforts. The book has underwent numerous changes when compared to yearbooks of the past. The staff chose a theme that we best thought described the year. Packing it in. The layouts were changed to magazine style to try to give the book a more modern look. And copy changed to express the students voice. There will be mistakes throughout the book, but you learn from your mista kes, and an awful lot of learning took place during the six months that the book was in production. The experience and knowledge gained by the staff while put- ting the book together can never be duplicated, it was a learning experience. The trips to Kansas City for color enlargements and supplies all seemed like obstacles to the completion, but looking back they were all worth it. The deadline nights that found only five people work- ing all seemed worthwhile. I would like to thank Mary Jane for always being there to listen to all of the problems and pressures that came with the job. I am sure she will never want to hear the word yearbook again. This book was made for you, so enjoy the year, we packed it in just for you. Michael Crawford 1983 Tower Editor ■302- Joking around relieved the pressures of deadline night. Layout Editor Callen Bateman playfully gives Editor Michael Crawford a couple of ruler rabbit ears. A February deadline fell near to Crawford ' s birth- day, so the staff had a surprise birthday party.
