Changes in alco- hol policies caused students to question, What ' s the big idea? on the sudden crackdown. Photo by Brandon Russell what ' s the bia idea? I y ur ideas came in all sizes. But when important issues were on the table, it took people with big ideas to offer solutions. During the year we were concerned about the University ' s sudden growth. We were 5,901 strong, an all-time high record enrollment, yet we wondered if big- ger was really better. Instructors were asked to teach larger classes to accommodate for the 600 addi- tional students. Residential Life ' s solution wasn ' t as simple. With more stu- dents than beds, temporary hous- ing for men was set up in Rober- ta Hall, floor lounges and in Maryville homes.

Of) X 1 e never expected such big things from the football team. In their second year under Coach Bud Elliott, they were the first team to have a winning sea- son since 1984. After five straight wins, the ' Cats were ranked 10th nationally among Division II schools. New conference foe Pittsburg State stood in our way for the MIAA title and post-season playoff victory. Some of the other big changes included summer renovation projects. Students re- turned to campus to see the Spanish Den transformed into a neon nightclub, the Bell Tower sandblasted, the track and main cam- pus entrance by Hudson Hall resurfaced and the wooden bridge removed. Administrators concerned with North- west ' s image forbid on-campus students to exhibit alcohol ads in their windows. ' 5 ' ? -.

I J ampus Safety, Residential Life and new Vice President for Aca- demic Affairs Robert Culbertson had big ideas for a dry campus. They took a no- nonsense approach to enforcing established and new alcohol policies. In July, fraternities were informed of a new law prohibiting public display of al- cohol-sponsored banners. The Alpha Kap- pa Lambdas were slapped with a $500 fine for failing to follow new guidelines. Students fought these ideals and ques- tioned administrators about the violation of their First Amendment rights. Our answers varied according to the issue at hand. It didn ' t mat- ter if we were right or wrong as long as we were willing to ex- change ideas. Leading the line of drummers, J.P.

Both on- and off-campus housing shortages prompted the University to make temporary arrangements. The women of Roberta Hall made way for men cohabitants. For a month, the men had to adjust to the new decor while women had to make changes in their living styles. The Encore program, partially financed by the Culture of Quality program, featured nationally-known speakers. Sara Wedding- ton, Brit Hume, Howard Nemirov and Ralph Nader ' s lectures filled the Mary Linn Performing Arts Center and Charles John- son Theater. 1 ■ ■ HV 1  MM 1 u  aBSSS ' -g fgi ' ? y Changes in alcohol policies remained the Dpic of forums and discussions.

Despite unusual heat, the chariot race was well tended. Each fraternity pulled a chariot carry- g a sorority passenger. The race ended in a tie tween Phi Sigma Kappa and Sigma Phi Epsilon.

The whipped cream was warm because it was so ' t out, and that was really gross. Everyone was mess, but it was funny. During the week Greeks raised money for Unit- ed Way by taking two-hour shifts in a giant rock- ing chair built by the fraternities. Volunteers rocked on the courthouse lawn from 7 a.m. to mid- night, Tuesday through Thursday to raise $400. Other events during the week included a skat- ing party for Headstart children at Skate Country and a softball tournament and picnic at Sunrise Park. Tournament play had a new twist this season. In past years there was more competition be- tween fraternities and sororities, Jason Ripple said. This year they divided us into mixed teams so it was more fun. Greek Games began on Friday, ending the week with excitement. Some of the games included tra- ditions such as volleyball, tug of war, greased chicken toss and the orange race. Simon Says and co-ed pyramid building were new additions to the roster. During the bat race, participants raced to a base- ball bat, spun around it 10 times with their noses on the end of the bat, then attempted to run back to their team members. It was like being drunk, only worse, David Starich said. 1 can stand up when I ' m drunk. At the conclusion of the week ' s activities mem- bers of the Greek community were recognized for their participation in the events. Dr. Ann Rowlette received the title of outstanding Greek sponsor and Sigma Phi Epsilon and Sigma Sigma Sigma were named the Outstanding Greek Organizations. Tdu Kappa Epsilon fraternity and Delta Zeta sorori- ty were the winners of the Greek Games while Phi Sigma Kappa ' s Eric Peterson and Alpha Sigma Al- pha ' s Amanda Blecha were honored as outstand- ing Greek Man and Woman.

Pho- to by Chuck Holley Graduates ' Memoirs: The Final Cliapter How sweet it must have been for the 568 candidates who filed into Lamkin Gymnasium to receive the reward for their years of hard work. It was standing room only inside Lamkin where friends and family awaited the opening notes of Pomp and Circumstance. Heat from the crowd greeted the aspiring graduates as they entered one by one and awaited their turn to shake President Dean Hubbard ' s hand. Meanwhile, with notebooks in hand, two candidates assumed their places in the graduation line-up and recorded feelings that accompanied this milestone. Two seniors record anxi- eties during graduation ceremonies Graduation has a way of sneaking up on you. Through the hubbub of job hunting, moving, stu- dent teaching, driving back and forth for night class and all of the other insanity, it stays in the back of your mind. Then on a dazzling spring day, standing in a funny black dress in Wells ' parking lot, it hits you. It makes you take a long, deep breath and linger a moment. The sense of finality that graduation brings sets in. —Mike Dunlap don ' t think it ' U ever hit me. It seems so unreal. I ' ll probably wake up tomorrow and discover it was all a dream. But as Phil baby yells in my ear with his bull horn, I know it ' s reality. —Debby Kerr Reality also comes through in the statements you hear in the waiting line. Do you feel proud? . I feel silly. My hat okay? Whatcha want to do, glue it on? —Mike God I hope my hat doesn ' t fall off when I accept my diploma cover My hair already looks stupid. Jen and I got our picture taken by a Gazette report- er, so I guess I can ' t look too stupid. Maybe that ' s why he took it. It could have had something to do with my braiding her tassle. —Debby Thousands of cameras and searching faces greet us as we make our way into the gym. Graduation is always the same, but it ' s an unusual thrill actually being the ones going through it. There ' s a strange, uncertain chill that falls on you as you come into the gym, take your seat and hear in the invocation that we may be rewarded for a job well done. —Mike Speaking of jobs, I hope I find one. Nothing is more exhausting than the Job search. As I listen to Pat Cafferata tell how she grew up in a small Midwestern town and later graduated from North- west, I can see there ' s hope. I feel proud. Small town people can make it big if they want. That tear during the Star Spangled Banner was genuine. -Debby Through Pat Cafferata ' s speech and manner, she showed us that it was possible to take our roots from the heartland, be successful and still have heart. It helped me realize how lucky we ' ve been to take our start in the friendly, growing environ- ment we have here. —Mike It has been great at Northwest. Many times I hat- ed it, but more times I loved it. I made many spe- cial friends here and can honestly say the profes- sors at this university care about our futures. I would never have had the opportunity to be writ- ing this story if it wasn ' t for the friends and many teachers who believed in me. —Debby Even though it took Deb and I longer to get through Northwest than it did most people, it was 12 Graduation Mike Dunlap, Debby Kerr and Jennifer Siy bask in the afterglow following the graduation ceremony. Co- authors Dunlap and Kerr were fifth-year seniors.

Leading the line is the scary part. —Debby Well, we finally made it. Going across the stage A ' as almost anti-climactic. Sitting among all the graduates, it ' s easy to get introspective and really eel what it ' s like to graduate. When you go across, , ' ou ' re too busy trying not to trip. —Mike Now that I have my diploma I want to get out ■ this hot gym. This hat is driving me crazy. As :oon as we switch our tassles, I ' m taking it off. My 5ad got everything on video, of course. —Debby It is getting hot and nasty in here— just like last ' ear, and every other year My tassle kept catch- ng on my ear until we turned them, and the hu- nidity is making my hair curl up around my fun- y hat. How attractive. —Mike Five years of education and I ' m finally done. I ion ' t feel any smarter Oh well, I ' ll worry about hat later Right now I need some lunch. —Debby Calling to the crowd, Dean of Students Phil Hayes or- ganizes bachelor ' s, master ' s and specialist ' s degree can- didates for the march into Lamkin Gymnasium.

Photo by Brandon Russell Rigorous Program Promises Prosperity Academy ' s formula for success builds students ' minds, bodies by Scott Vater On a hill east of Maryville a serene cluster of brick buildings sat overlooking the 102 River. To most, the place was known as the old Mount Alverno Convent, but to the seven students in the Academy University Scholarship Program during the fall semester, it was home. The convent had been vacant for several years until July 1988 when it was taken over by Penn- sylvania native David Hemmerling. While in Pennsylvania, Hemmerling had launched a project that allowed high school seniors through college juniors to apply for coUege school- ing absolutely free. After running smoothly for 19 years this pro- gram was discontinued due to lack of room for the 30 students and lack of funding to construct a larg- er facihty. Hemmerling then began searching for a different building in order to continue provid- ing educational opportunities for young people. His search brought him to the Mount. The structure appealed to him because of its proximi- ty to the University and the perfect living condi- tions it provided. The program provided everything from tuition to toothpaste, along with some extras like popcorn and movie passes. The only things students provid- ed for themselves were clothing, spending money and transportation to and from Maryville. Some might have said such a program was an easy education with no cost to the student — a statement that couldn ' t have been further from the truth. According to Hemmerling, students were required to be colossally hard workers. One look at the schedules of the Academy stu- dents was a definite indication of their will to work. Students at the Academy put in 17-and-a- half hour days, with a minimum of five hours study time outside the classroom per day. They rose at 6 a.m., dressed, showered and prepared breakfast by 6:45 and left for the University atlj 7:30. On weekends, six hours of study were re quired during the two-day period. Besides school, each student participated in ai( rigorous physical fitness program and had the op- portunity to learn to play a musical instrument. All members also held jobs at the Academy, and in their spare time were encouraged to performij eight hours of community service per week. It was only as demanding as you made it, buti if you used the Academy ' s recipe, success wouldj be inevitable, Travis Collins said. The overall goal of the Academy was to strive for physical fitness and academic excellence. Inl the past, 90 percent of Hemmerling ' s Academy students had graduated with high honors and 98 percent were on the Dean ' s Ust. We were trying to cause our students to cre- ate noticeable resumes, Hemmerling said. Although the Academy began with only a few students, the halls of the old convent were full of sound again. With hopes for 160 students by 1993, the once idle structure was to be busier than it had ever been. When the Academy University Scholarship Pro- gram moved to Missouri it filled the brick build- ings with the hopes and dreams of youth, and thanks to David Hemmerling, those dreams were possible. 14 The Academy Academy members Mark Schwartz.

Unfortunately not everything improves with the passing of time and some parts of campus had be- gun to show their age. Along with some road resurfacing came the renovation of the Spanish Den, restoration of the Memorial Bell Tower and removal of the old railroad bridge. The new look for the Spanish Den was created by Fixture World from Tennessee. The entire renovation cost $65,000 and took place in less than five days. This was the first major change in the den ' s decor in eight years, and many students were pleased with the results. The atmosphere seemed friendlier, more like a nightclub than a cafeteria, Mike Brinker said. Along with den improvements, the Memorial Bell Tower received some attention over the sum- mer. The University made the decision to sand- blast and resurface the Bell Tower in May, but work was delayed due to scheduling problems with construction workers. The restoration project was undertaken mainly out of concern about falling debris. The 18-year- old tower had slowly begun to deteriorate, result- ing in cracks and flaking. The $24,550 process included sandblasting, seal- ing and an application of external sealer to th 100-foot tower. Student reactions to the woi were mixed. They did a good job, but it seemed strange have them working during morning and afternoo classes, Janette Carroll said. I had to wai across campus and the dust was bad for me be cause I wore contacts. Another change was the removal of the old rai road bridge tha t allowed exit from campus ont North College Drive. The bridge, formerly owne by Norfolk and Western Railroads of St. Louis, ha been closed to vehicle traffic for two and a ha years. After acquisition from the railroad company, tl bridge renovation became a group project share by Maryville, Nodaway County, Polk Townshi and the University. Sewer lines and other repairs, which were ta geted for completion in October, delayed constru tion of the asphalt bridge and walkway. After all the time, energy and money invests in these projects, it was safe to say that all tl changes were for the better. Although it was sad to lose the odd old bridg the convenience of the new bridge, moderruzatic of the Den and restoration of the Tower were e forts well spent in the preservation of campu; 16 Summer Renovations Horizons West resident Lisa Davis embarks on the path to campus that replaced the walking bridge.

I have been thinking about my roommate. All I know is his name, Thomas Massingham. I ' ve been counting the days until I leave — for my mother, in case she forgets. I am the first born and the first to leave the nest. I ' m not sure she can handle it. —Ralph I ' m not very excited about school, but I guess I better start trying to get excited. I don ' t want to leave my boyfriend right now. My roommate is older That scares me because I don ' t know what it ' s going to be like living with someone I don ' t know who is also older than me. I think about school, but it doesn ' t appeal to me. —Maureen August 2 I started packing today. I ' m used to a full bed, so the twin is going to be a change. Then again, so is sharing a room! I am used to having every- thing to myself. I guess one thing I will have to learn is how to live in a community. Being on th farm, I ' m usually free to make as much noise a I like. I ' m not sure what to expect from Northwest I have heard so many different stories about wha college is like, I don ' t know what to believe. I gues I will find out in 11 days. —Ralph August 4 The closer I get to leaving the more I want to sta, here in my safe surroundings. How great it wai I now realize, to be in high school, live at hom and have everyone you cared about right there —Maureen August 5 I am not sure really what I should be feeling now I am very eager to go, but I don ' t want to leav home.

It is liglit blue with peacock blue splotches and pink drawers. Yuck! I guess I might go home this weekend. Right now I ' m not sure if I ' m going to like college or not. —Maureen August 13 This morning I went and had my picture taken, picked up my packets and waited for my mom to get here with the rest of my stuff. She finally came and we went upstairs to start arranging things. We were both really upset when she left. We cried and I promised to write and call. All in all, the day wasn ' t so bad.

I SkmM as the eyes (. cl bv Steve Rhodes They arrived at Northwest early in the morn- ing with their parents. A gentle, We are here, honey, from Mom or Dad awakened them from a deep slumber in the back seat. Slowly their eyes cleared and began to scan the new environment. So many big buildings, so many people. Where to begin? Soon Dad pulled into a parking lot and stopped the car Everyone got out slowly and took in the fresh air Mom arranged their hair in a neat manner, took them by the hand and proceeded toward campus. It was Family Day and little brothers and sisters were arriving in carloads. The day was filled with activities that students and families could enjoy together, including a con- vocation, departmental and residence hall open houses, a picnic lunch and a football game. Each event offered visitors an informative and enter- taining view of what college was all about. The morning began with the convocation held in the Mary Linn Performing Arts Center The University Chorale performed two numbers, and then speeches were given by President Dean Hub- bard and Student Senate President Jamie Roop. Although most of those present seemed to find the speeches very informative, some of the younger audience members thought otherwise. I liked the singing, but the men that talked took a long time, 10-year-old Branden Clement said. Shortly after the opening ceremonies there was a picnic lunch held in the Bell Tower Mall. Those that chose to eat here encountered long waiting lines, but most found the food worth the delay. Throughout the picnic Ken Schultz, The Fly- ing Fool, provided entertainment for all those present by walking among the crowd on stilts and making animal balloons for the youngsters. Bob- by Bearcat also made an appearance to hand out candy. I liked it when the stilts man came! 7-year- old Amanda Tracy said. Getting to tour the campus also left the children with quite an impression of college. It looked like fun, but also bigger and harden than my school, 9-year-old Sarah Adams said. Some even expressed a desire to attend North- west when they got old enough. I wanted to come here and play on the com- puter and party every night and every day, 7-year-old Jason Brewer said. Probably the most anticipated event of the day, was the afternoon football game. Like everything, else that occurred during Family Day, the young- sters were quite vocal about the game. They wouldn ' t win if they played like lastl year! Danny Nelson said. Despite some skepticism, however, the Bearcats : emerged from the contest as victors. Following the game, many of the families pre- pared to leave. After spending an entire day at Northwest, there seemed to be a lot of positive im- pressions made. It wasn ' t exactly too small, but not exactly too big, Kipp Knight said. It was a nice place. As families got back in their cars for the trip home, kids, worn out from the day ' s activities, crawled into back seats and fell into deep slum- bers. Doubtlessly, some were dreaming of Family Day and the times when they, too, would be in | college. 22 Family Day ■ Anticipating a big win, Michael McLaughlin waits for the start of the football game.

Phase III of the program was to go into effect one week into the fall semester, but sudden heavy rains prevented its enactment. Phase III would have imposed some seri- ous restrictions on students, including Umited showers and laundry, restricted use of recreational facilities and shutting down of residence hall air conditioning.

Photo bv Todd Weddle if f t [he Two Extremes of [her Nature Por the second consecutive year, Mother Na- ture was unkind to Maryville and surround- ng areas. The region suffered harsh drought conditions uring the summer which dried up wells and ionds, heavily damaged crops and forced those li - ng in town to conserve water any way they could. The situation grew even more complex as North- zest began its fall semester, increasing the area ' s lopulation by nearly 6.000. In order to compen- ate for arriving students, the city planned to rogress into Phase III of a five-phase water con- ervation program, which called for a 20 percent eduction of all water usage. The restrictions of this program would have laced some undesirable limitations on students. ■ Phases I and II were bad enough, David Rey- olds said. Phase III would have been hell. No .c, limited showers— I would have gone insane! Restricted use of recreational facilities, limited n-campus laundry and altered class schedules . ' ere also among the limitations slated to begin one eek after school began. The University hauled water from St . .Joseph the eek of Aug. 30 to compensate for the strain stu- ents put on the the dwindling water supply. According to Public Relations Officer Bob Hen- y, 12 truckloads of water were brought in before aught off guard, students get a good shower as they ■alk to classes. The long-awaited rain was a relief to area psidents who were hindered by the restrictions from le water shortage. Photo by Tbdd Weddle the rain began. Each truck carried 100,000 gallons of water and cost the University $150. We wanted to do e er tl ing possible to provide for the students Henr ' said, But if the situa- tion hadn ' t improved after a couple of months the state probably would have asked us to shut down the school. However, later that week something unexpect- ed happened. It began to rain . . . and rain . . . and rain! By Monday morning over five inches of precipitation had fallen and the region was not re- quired to enter Phase III. The rain continued throughout the next week, forcing many students to walk to class during heavy rainfall. It was like a TUP commercial, Scott Turner said. Everj ' one was smiling and laugliing. Nobody cared that they were getting soaked. After more than a week of rain some areas reported receiving 13 inches of accumulation. Although somewhat overshadowed by its posi- tive effects, the rains caused several problems. Franken and Phillips Halls experienced roof leakage and a number of buildings in Mar ' ville flooded. Also, widespread lightning damaged numerous computing units and some of those with impaired terminals had to wait several weeks for repairs. By the end of August the area was in Phase I and it appeared that things would get back to normal. Nevertheless, students and area citizens were encouraged to continue practicing water conser- vation so they would be prepared for dry weather should it reoccur Late August rainstorm saves Mary- ville from entering Phase III by Steve Rhodes Drought 25 Homecoming Queen Erin Cotter, sponsored by Alpha Gamma Rho, takes her turn in the spotlight. Pho- to by Don Cariick Lights, Camera, Action, Homecoming! Everyone has the chance to be a star at Homecoming by Jill Erickson A whisper on the wind calling to the would-be star in us all: Hollywood. Dreams made into fame. What did California have that a small Mid- western town like Maryville didn ' t? The subtropi- cal climate, you say? We had the Palms, and how about that sultry heat of Indian summer. Celebrities, you still argue? What about that lov- able Bearcat called Bobby! Well, it might not have been California, but on Oct. 12, Maryville shook the Richter Scale when Homecoming ' 89 hit town. The theme Hooray for Hollywood got off to a dramatic start Thursday night with the Variety Show at 7 p.m. The box office was sold out and spirits of movie-goers were soaring. Keeping with the theme, this year ' s show found itself in front of Northwest ' s own KNWT Channel 8 cameras. For the first time ever, the Variety Show was taped for televised broadcasts later in the week. A peek behind the scenes revealed hours of hard work and student participation. The three chairpersons of the Homecoming Com- mittee, Barb Meyer, Kent Barthol and Chris Steele, were responsible for eliminations, props, ushers and tickets, dress rehearsal and timing skits. It was interesting to watch the people back- stage, Meyer said. They gauged each other ' s per- formances according to the audience ' s response. Cari Prewitt and John Yates, masters of ceremo- nies, ushered the audience through the eight skits and six olio acts to the crowning of the new Homecoming queen at the conclusion of Thurs- day ' s show. I thought it all went really smooth, Prewitt said. The liglit and stage crews at Mary Linn were wonderful. This year ' s queen, Erin Cotter, was sponsored by Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. Cotter was involved in seven campus organizations, including Delta. Zeta sorority. The other queen finalists were Susie Beach, sponsored by Delta Chi; Fkith Chapman, Alpha Sig-; ma Alpha; Kristin Powlishta, South Complex; and Julie Vogt, Cardinal Key. Three new awards were given at the Variety Show. The Bobbys went to Best Actress Elizabeth: Gibson and Best Actor Kevin Sharpe. Gibson played R.A. Hannigan in Phi Mu ' s Annie, and Sharpe portrayed Robin Leach in Phi Sigma Kap- pa ' s Paparazzi. People ' s Choice, the third new award, went to: Phi Mu Alpha music fraternity for Who Framed Bobby Bearcat? People ' s Choice was determined by a combined vote from the audience of both nights. Who could forget Delta Zeta ' s women-turned-greasers in Grease and M Club ' s men-turned-women ini Three Men and a Bearcat ?

Also on Friday, there were turtle races and a water-balloon fight near the high-rise dorms. One of the newest Homecoming traditions, the third annual Old Timer ' s baseball game, was played Friday afternoon. Eighteen former Bearcats played in the game won by the white team, 4-1.

Homecoming parade participants had been lining up and making final preparations since 5 a.m. Twenty-eight high school marching bands, 13 floats and countless jalopies and clowns marched to the tunes of Hollywood. Mickey Mouse, the Northwest Bearcat Marching Band and the Homecoming queen led the parade from the Olive DeLuce Fine Arts Building down Fourth Street past ASAP to the Nodaway County Courthouse Square. The crowd delighted in the spectacular perfor- mances of Gremlins, Star Wars characters, Mup- pets, the Joker and many others.

They ' re the ones who make it go. They ' re the ones who put in all the hard work. Not only the students on my committee, but the ones who put in work on the floats, the Variety Show and everything else. Even though the Bearcats slipped past the University of Missouri-Rolla, 7-3, the game lacked the exciting aura of Hollywood. At the beginning of the game students were really excited. Many had their faces painted and brought noise-makers to cheer the Bearcats to victory. ' ' The game was slow because there was little ac- tion, Traca Madren said. But late in the third quarter, when the team scored, we were all screaming and yelling. It was exciting to win; there was more school pride this year compared to last. After the football game, it was each to his own as the crowd broke off into smaller groups for pri- vate Homecoming celebrations including tradition- al fraternity and sorority reunions with alumni. Those who had worked behind the scenes on the production were ready to relax. It was nice to have it over with, Gieseke said. It never worked quite the way you thought it was going to, but this was as good a Homecoming as I had ever seen. As Homecoming came to a close it was evident that both the audience and the stars rated the show a box-office smash. Walkout Day offers Sigma Society member Lisa Davis time to finish their float.

Photo by Don Carrick Sharp Shooters Focus on f a picture says a thousand words thert Clifton and Vi Edom were responsible for millions of ntences over the past 41 years. In 1989 Maryville came the 41st Missouri town chosen by the doms to host the University of Missouri-Colum- a photography workshop. In 1949 Cliff and Vi Edom began a program that Uowed photographers to gain experience telling I story with pictures. A place was selected by the Idoms after visiting several towns to determine i ' hether they could host a large group of people pr a week. Locations needed adequate hotel ac- ammodations and potential photo opportunities. The workshop pitted cameras against Missouri 3untryside. After photos were taken and devel- ped, they were critiqued and photographers in- ducted on how to shoot better pictures and shar- en their skills. Each story chosen by workshop participants had 5 be a unique challenge for them. They were al- )tted 10 rolls of 36-exposure film and only one ' eek to create their story. Student Elisabeth Crawford was chosen as a sub- let by one of the photographers. Some odd situa- ons arose while she was followed from 4:35 a.m. ntil 8 p.m. for three days. ' A friend and I were having lunch in the Union ne day and I looked up and saw her taking pic- ures of us, Crawford said. It was embarrassing ecause everyone was staring at us. Since this was a one-of-a-kind program, it at- racted photographers from as far away as Korea nd Nigeria. Those from the United States came rem as far away as Alaska and Florida. Edom, a veteran in the photography field, had started the photography department in the jour- nalism school at MU. He headed that department for 30 years before starting this unique program. We had to teach our people to tell stories with a camera, Edom said. After putting together a prestigious list of in- structors and getting funding, he began accepting applications for his infant program. Some of the instructors at the Maryville work- shop were Kent Kobersteen from National Geo- graphic, Sandra Eisert, San Jose, Calif., Mercury News, and Rich Clarkson, free lance photographer from Sports Illustrated. Along with the 16-member staff, 49 photographers also had a grueling week of learning and hard work. It was frustrating, aggravating and tiring but well worth it, free lance photographer Mark Saltz said. Not only did the group get to work, they also got the chance to explore the lives of a few people from America ' s heartland. 11) those that came here from different states or countries, that proved to be just as enlightening as the workshop. I thought people in the Midwest would be more open, Norbert von der Groeben of the Valley Times in Palo Alto, Calif., said. I found that they were very reserved. As the week came to a close, the photographers prepared to return to their homes and jobs, but they left Maryville knowing more about photog- raphy. Hopefully none of them would forget the workshop or Maryville, where for one week they lived and learned through pictures. e Professional photographers strive to cap- ture all facets of life in a small Mid- western town bv Scott Vater 1 i ii i MU Photo Project 33 n With drink in hand, Mich- ael Ford studies for an up- coming test.

Rules prohibiting alcoholic beverages campus had always existed, but were never ry strictly enforced. In the past, just as long as you kept things quiet lU were OK, ' ' Michael Ford said. ' ' Even if you got •Ught it was usually just a slap on the wrist. [However, getting caught with alcoholic sub- ances this year meant more than a slap on the irist. Offenders were handled by campus securi- 1 and were subject to prosecution. j This was serious stuff, Resident Assistant !vin Kraske said. We were instructed to inves- ;ate a room if we had even the slightest suspi- :)n of alcohol. A. strictly enforced rule stating that no contain- 3 could be carried into ball games was im- smented, and fraternities were monitored more )sely than in previous years. Greeks were pro- aited from hanging alcohol advertisements on :eir houses, and their activities were closely Itched for substance abuse. Alpha Kappa Lam- : was fined $500 for failing to remove a banner iplayed on their house which promoted alcohol. | .nother feature of the policy was the exclusion ■ alcohol advertisem ents on campus, particular- in residence hall windows. This quickly became issue of controversy with the students. Some en argued that it was an infringement upon their institutional rights. ' They may have been able to tell us not to drink. but I didn ' t see anything wrong with hanging ads in our windows if we wanted, Shawn Clark said. The alcohol policy became such a prominent is- sue on campus that a special session of Student Senate was held to discuss it. Faculty, staff and concerned students were present. During the Senate meeting numerous is- sues of the policy were discussed. However, most questions remained unanswered. In an attempt to further clarify the issue, plans were made to cre- ate an informational publication, the White Papers, that would describe Ln depth the provisions of the dry campus policy. The primary reason for the crackdown was a prompting from the federal level. Apparently the government had issued a state-wide program to reduce the amount of alcohol on college campuses. In order to assure that universities participated in the program, the government threatened to cut all federal funding if there was not a reduction of al- coholic substances. Whether or not the program helped reduce al- cohol usage on campus remained to be seen. Many seemed to find the principle of the program to be a positive idea. However, many said the policy was overly harsh and restricting. I thought it was a good idea to have rules limit- ing alcohol, but it seemed way too severe, Tina Hike said. This is college, we should be able to party if we want. Despite campus-wide controversy, it looked as if the dry campus policy was here to stay. Only time would tell whether or not it would actually hel p eliminate alcoholic substances on campus. However, students would have to be more cautious if they chose to have alcohol on campus.

Japanese students get a taste of an American holiday The first thing Masaaki and Hisato noticed was that we ' d be driving a car the size of a small tank to get home. I think they may have been con- cerned about my driving capabilities, especially when I told them how often I get lost. Masaaki wanted to buy a map before we left town but I assured him we ' d make it home OK. After the four-hour journey, Hisato was excit- ed to find his favorite Japanese beer awaiting. I ' ll never forget how big Masaaki ' s eyes got when I told him we had six cats. Tonight he made friends with one, Ewok. Thanksgiving Day started the endless run of football games. I thought they ' d be disappointed watching TV all day until I found out Hisato played American football for his university team in Japan. They were so polite all day, always asking permission to turn on another game. We didn ' t eat our Thanksgiving meal until even- ing. While Mom made dinner, I arranged the t a- ble. Right before we were to eat, we all went out to the kitchen to watch Dad tackle the turkey. Hisato and Masaaki ate a hit of everything dur- ing dinner. I don ' t think I could be as adventurous during a traditional Japanese meal. It was fun to watch them try things and thee take more. It made me feel kind of guilty becaus I won ' t eat sweet potatoes for anything. I ' m used to having 10 people to share Thank!i giving with, but Masaaki and Hisato helped mak it just as special. —Stephanie Frey We made it to Pittsburg without getting lo9;j which was very rare according to Stephanie.

Mrs. Frey said we would shop tomorrow. She told me the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day in each year because people buy Christmas presents. I thought people bought Christmas presents just before Christmas, but Stephanie ' s mother told me if they go to stores then, they cannot buy anything they want. After dinner, we watched two movies until 1 a.m. They were both comedy. 1 went to bed at about 3 a.m. 1 had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and I really would like to meet her parents again.

Photo by Mona Long No Vacancy, No Room in the Inn Too close for comfort for on-campus students by Dale Brown It may have looked like a mob scene or a stam- pede, but whatever it was, it spelled trouble. Be- fore classes began in the fall a record enrollment of students awaited Dr Phil Hayes, dean of stu- dents, and other housing officials in charge of giv- ing both returning students and incoming fresh- men a place to live. It turned out to be a task that provided some in- conveniences for approximately 100 male students who were put in temporary housing, some for up to four weeks. It was just more of a hassle than anything, Pride Turpin said. Getting a place and knowing you ' d have to move again kind of put a hold on things. Hayes explained that the problem began long be- fore the suitcases and belongings of students arrived. ' When we started receiving applications we had about 1,780 female applications and around 1,000 male applications, Hayes said. Then we started receiving female cancellations and more male ap- plications. After we began to assign housing we had 748 students who said they would seek residential housing that didn ' t. That large number of supposed entries with only a short period of time to assign housing caused much of the problem. The students who were assigned temporary housing had to live in such places as Roberta Hall and corner rooms in Phillips and Franken Halls. Some were assigned rooms with resident assis- tants and even a converted lounge lodged students in Cooper Hall. Eventually, though, all the stu- dents were relocated to regular housing accomodations. Steps were taken to help reduce the chances of this happening again, Hayes said. One was i $50 room deposit that had to accompany applica tions and another was verification sent to reserve a residence hall by July 1 instead of August 1. ' Many questioned why Northwest didn ' t seel help from the state in building a new housing fa cility to accommodate the increase of students The answer turned out to be more complex thauj many students or parents expected. By state law the government could provide nc money for housing, food service or unions, ' ' Hayetj said. The dorms were bought by issuing bonds on the private market without any state help. The las J of those was to be paid off in the year 2008. ' Hayes also said that the recent growth in enroll]; ment may shift downward. I According to statistics, the number of higfc: school graduates was decreasing at a pronouncec rate, Hayes said. Less people would be going t«j college, so it may have proved fooUsh to issue nev bonds and then have a $2 million hall sitting emp ty. Although a 100 percent solution to the housinj; problem may have been impossible, Hayes am other staff members felt positive steps were taker to decrease the problem. You would almost have needed some sort o crystal ball to foresee all of what would happen, ' Hayes said. Hopefully with the steps we ha( taken, we would have more time to work witi these situations in the future. So, whether the mob scene would be re-enacte( in the future remained to be seen. At least stu dents could be assured that the administratioi tried their best to get a roof over their heads. 38 Housing i I ■S: Due to increased enroll- ment, Greg Trimble, Dan Westoff and Bill Dietrich share a corner room in Franken.

Behold the student bartender. Their job was to keep the party rolling. Those old enough and lucky enough to land jobs at local drinking establish- ments had found the perfect way to mix business with pleasure. Ann Durand began bartending at B.J. ' s, then moved to The Elks where she was promoted to club manager. Durand felt fortunate to have a job that tied in with her pursuit of a food service management degree. She ordered food and liquor, managed the waitresses and was responsible for preparation of hors d ' oeuvres and banquet meals. Most felt that bartending was a great way to learn to handle people. Palms employee Scott Boy- er enjoyed watching patron mating rituals. You got to see who went home with who, Boyer said with a grin. Additional perks accompanied his job. The coolest thing that ever happened was when the guys from MTV (Colin Quinn, Ken Ober and Adam Sandler) came in, Boyer said. They came right up to me and introduced themselves. I even played pool with them. Workers who ventured out from behind the pro- tection of the bar encountered problems all their own. Heather Amstutz was teased, asked out anc pinched a lot on the job at The Pub. The pinchers usually got you on their way out, Amstutz said. Then what could you dd about it?

Photo by Mon Long Students in the Dark: A Question of Safety Assaults on campus lead to safety measures by Dale Brown Rapes, assaults and dark places with unusual shadows ... all unpleasant things to think about, but unfortunately they existed. Like other universities, Northwest had received several com- plaints about poor lighting, and students began to wonder just how safe the small community was af- ter reports of sexual assaults circulated campus. Three sexual assaults had been reported by the end of the fall semester. The incidents were inves- tigated by Director of Campus Safety Jill Hogue, who reported that either no criminal activity was involved or no charges were filed because the fe- male didn ' t wish to pursue it. We investigated them all, Hogue said. We found them false in that no criminal sexual action had occurred and no charges were filed. Whether any actual assaults took place or not, the idea was enough to make people think. Possi- bly, the most vulnerable of students were females, who often stated fears about walking alone at night. I wouldn ' t say I felt 100 percent safe, Vickie Swaney said. I did get a little scared walking back to the dorm from the library or a friend ' s place late at night. Although the University had taken measures such as an escort system and putting new lighting in dark areas, some students took safety into their own hands by enrolling in self-defense courses. Steve Rhodes, a black belt in Tki Kwan Do karat offered a self-defense class to students who wishe to be prepared. We practiced a lot of self-defense techniques,!] Rhodes said. I had five to 10 students, mostly U male. It was something I did to help others and t earn a little extra money. Rhodes, who taught the class one night a weei, in the old wrestling room at Lamkin Gym, had i simple goal for the students enrolled: to learn t defend themselves. I taught a lot of street techniques for dd fense, Rhodes said. The class was divided inti three sections: instruction, calisthenics and ka rate. ' ' The University had formerly offered self-defensi as a P.E. credit, but the course had been eliminal ed from the curriculum. Other students found it fit to take advantage o the escort service. The program was set up so fe male students could have a partner to walk witl at night. After rumors circulated about assaults and at tacks and such, it seemed like a good idea, Melir da Rinehart said. I felt safer with an escort. Although safety could never be guaranteed, th! efforts and self-motivation of students, adminstra tors and Campus Safety helped take a bite out o the problem. 42 Safety Although some parts of campus boast safe lighting, the northwest corner re- mains dangerously dark. Students voiced concerns for their safety after sever- al reported assaults put the problem in the spot- light.

Oh, God, why did I say THAT?! Now he thinks I ' m a complete moron and my breath probably reeks of dead animals. Did I remem- ber to put deodorant on?

She looks great tonight. I wonder if...nah, better not rush things. Some students thought de- cisions were the toughest thing about dating. How should I dress? Should I be formal or relaxed, polite or cute, funny or serious? Of course, another big de- cision was WHAT to do on that date. Although most dates seemed to drag a cou- ple out to dinner and a movie, Lorinda Rice felt a movie shouldn ' t be included in a first date because you couldn ' t talk and get to know your date. Dating was just a way to get to know a person, Rice said. It was just to get out and have a good time. Rhonda Gates ' strategy for having a good time included an element of surprise. Once I blindfolded my date and took him to a haunted house, Gates said. That was a lot of fun. But were dates just an en- joyable way for students to meet people and keep their social life alive? Or did they lead to bigger and better things? There was always a possi- bility for a relationship, ' ' said Sonya Burke. But the trend seemed to be that girls were looking for something serious and guys just wanted sex. Michelle Stramel said that many people didn ' t want to be tied down, especially in college because it was a time to grow and experience life. With sex roles changing, students had to decide for themselves what they ex- pected from their dates. Permy Peterson felt the guy should pay and drive, espe- cially if he had asked her out. Rice said that guys seemed to think the girl expected the guys to pay all of the time, but she didn ' t agree. She thought it depended on the situation. Dating was a lot of fun, but could be painful, too. Being stood up and not asked out again were all part of the game. The exhilarating feeling of nervous jitters, decisions or even heartbreak was mysteri- ous, yet attractive. And for students who were wUling to take the risks, the possibili- ties were endless. by Jill Erickson Wendi Ides and Scott Milinkov enjoy a liowliiig date. The new Bearcat Lanes drew large crowds.

You also realized that paper you had been putting off was due in three days and your checkbook balance was dwindling. You were definitely stressing out. So, how did you handle it? Various physical ac- tivities were some of the most popular ways for students to cope with stress. Students ' favorites ranged from strenuous exercise like aerobics to simply taking a walk. I liked to do some sort of athletic activity, like play basketball, Anthony Ferris said. It helped me use up energy rather than concen- trate on whatever had me stressed out. Students felt such activity helped them deal with stress by making them physically tired so they could relax more easily. Doing something like aerobics made me tired so I could relax and not worry about my problems so much, Jennifer Dixon said. Another approach to dealing with stress was a more social one. When I was under a lot of stress, I liked to go out with my friends and be in a totally differ- ent environment, Carol Scheiber said. Many students utilized more entertaining resources to deal with stress. The Nintendo Home Entertainment Center was a popular mode of entertainment and stress relief. If you were good at a game, it helped relieve stress, Joel Robertson said. Nintendo also seemed to provide an escape from anything bothering students as well as a way to pass time. Students also eryoyed compet- ing with friends for the highest scores. Still, other students found more unique ways to cope with stressful times. I liked to write down everything that was bothering me, Sharla Kennedy explained. It was always a big relief to have it all down on paper and then I usually threw it away. Although students were constantly dealing with stress, each seemed to have his own way of handling the pressure. by Kristin Thompson Deli employee David Collir plays a game of Shinobi 1 get his mind off his jolj Photo by Susan Maynes A late night on the com- puter mail system provides entertainment for Jeff Coffman.

Photo Il- lustration by Brandon Russell It started with registration. Problems arose when every class was filled and instructors decided they had already let too many people add. It continued into the first week of classes because homework seemed to pile higher than ever before. Then, the Financial Aid Office found a problem with their numbers that made the expected loan fall through. On the darkest day ever imagined, the family dog died, the relation- ship from back home ended after a five-year commitment and a profes- sor announced he did not feel that the class had been giving 110 per- cent, so he assigned a 15-page research paper that was due the follow- ing week. Students experienced stress from a variety of areas but the most com- mon stress-related problem seemed to be getting everything done. I hated getting to the point where I needed to make a schedule, David Miller said. Sometimes, the amount of work that I had to do be- came overwhelming. That caused me a lot of stress because I felt that I wouldn ' t be able to keep up with the instructor ' s demands. Many seniors experienced stress from last-minute details when they attempted to graduate. I filled out my senior statement the first semester that I arrived, but I was sure there would be an elusive class that would make me come back for another semester, Miller said. It was something I had wor- ried about. Another student claimed not to have too much stress even though he had planned on getting married during the coming summer vacation. -continued Pressures mount as graduation approaches bv Chris Barker Coping 47 d Shawn Zanders punts in intramural football compef tion sponsored by Campus Recreation.

The only trouble that I had was to have too many things going at once. That always caused problems. Other types of stress came from extracurricular activities. Working the desk along with classes and homework could really be hec- tic, Resident Assistant Shelly Ackley said. Being an RA was sometimes tough for Ackley because of her responsibili- ties. Her residents usually followed the rules, but there were times when they were not quiet or responsive to her, Ackley said. Overall, I enjoyed my job, but once a bunch of girls from a sorority came to Roberta looking for signatures and they started running up and down the halls at 7 a.m., Ackley said. They sounded like a herd of elephants. Tests and quizzes gave Ackley the most stress. 1 froze up on some of my tests, she said. I think procrastination was -continued Coping Through Counseling Many who lacked first-hand experience operated under the delusion that college was merely a good time. They envi- sioned a setting in which clean-cut, young adults roamed pic- turesque campuses with textbooks in hand in a perpetually harmonic state of mind. They saw an environment sheltered from the evils of the real world, existing solely for moti- vated individuals so they could achieve academic excellence and become doctors or lawyers later in life. Unfortunately, this scenario was a far cry from reality. In- deed, the college campus was designed to serve the academic needs of young people hoping to attain success in hfe. Col- lege for many meant leaving the protective confines of home and entering a new and often stressful environment. College students experienced a different kind of stress than those with regular jobs, Counseling Center Director Dr. George Lawrence said. Trying to maintain good grades in classes was often more demanding than regular work. Maintaining grades was a concern for nearly all students. Often additional pressure to perform was felt by some who had to achieve a certain level of excellence to retain scholar- ships and or financial aid. Others also had to find time for part-time employment to help meet the cost of their educa- tion. Balancing academic and social activities was also a source of anxiety that students encountered during college. Northwest, like most universities, had numerous programs to help alleviate the pressures that students were faced with. At the campus Counseling Center students could set up ap- pointments and discuss their problems with professional counselors. During these conferences, students would be asked questions in order to discover what was causing their stress. After finding this information, the counselor would work with the student and evaluate how the problem could: be resolved. Stress was a major concern on campus, Lawrence said. Often students came in complaining about a class or rela- tionship that was not going well and we would find out that stress was causing the majority of their problems. All students were required to take freshman seminar, a; course designed to make students more comfortable with: their new environment. The class covered topics such as; money and time management, career options, and study ( techniques. In addition to this, it gave students a chance to discuss any difficulties they were having or anything else with an instructor. Recreational programs such as intramural athletics also provided relief from the stress of normal classroom activity. I was always getting stressed out about my classes, Les- lie Leake said. It helped relieve the tension just to take a break and go to the Student Union with some friends. No matter how level headed a student was, he or she would inevitably feel the burden of stress. However, most students that took advantage of the programs offered by the Univer- sity to aid with this dilemma found they could usually deal with their problems more easily, and stress became a less prominent factor in their lives. by Steve Rhodes 48 Coping mJ Fellow tutors help one another prepare for stu- dents by working out problems beforehand.

The group exercise sessions were held five nights a week in the basement of Roberta Hall. Photo by Sa- bine Grable Walking on a Thin Line Society placed a lot of pressure on the wom- en of the ' 80s. In order to fill the role of the ideal woman they were expected to be com- petent, independent, successful, attractive and have model-thin bodies. In order to meet soci- ety ' s standards some would do almost anything to achieve their goals. Unfortunately, some were so driven to attain the body beautiful they began to engage in unhealthy habits. Frequently, this behavior resulted in dangerous eating disorders that were hazardous to the individual ' s well being, both physically and mentally. Social interaction was an important element of the college environment and additional pres- sure to remain sUm and trim were perhaps even more prevalent than in other settings. Statistics showed that one of every four wom- en would encounter some type of eating disord- er before their graduation. Studies conducted by the University revealed that approximately 25 percent of females en- rolled experienced dietary problems. Eating disorders were almost always the result of a psychological problem, ARA Dietit- ian Peggy Kramer said. There were very few bodies actually made to be thin, but society stressed that ' thin was in ' and everyone felt pressured to change their bodies. ' ' Many types of eating disorders were present in society. The most common types on college campuses were anorexia and bulimia. Anorexics had a distorted body image, always seeing themselves as fat, even though they may have been thin. In order to attain the thin body they desired, they practiced extreme dieting tactics. Like anorexics, bulimics were also dissatisfied with their bodies. However, rather than starv- ing themselves, they followed a pattern of hing- ing and purging. They would eat, often large quantities of food in one setting, and then feel guilty for doing so. Induced vomiting and the abuse of laxatives were two common practices that buhmics used to rid themselves of their guUt. Students who were concerned that they had an eating disorder sought help in several ways. The most common was to go to the Health Serv- ice office to receive an examination and advice for further treatment. They often required counseling and were referred to the counseling center or the dietary director Most studies showed that eating problems were treatable if found before they became full- blown, Kramer said. The most important thing w£is to be aware of the problem and seek help quickly. There was little doubt that eating disorders would continue to be a serious issue in the years to come. However, it was hoped that help pro- grams would eventually alleviate the problems, or at least increase pubUc awareness of their severity. by Steve Rhodes .M 50 Coping A -continued my biggest problem, so I tried to spend at least one hour a day at the library to avoid getting so stressed out. Some students received stress for a more foreign reason. Shishir Belbase, from Nepal, felt the fast pace of American life created more stress than in his country. Living off campus also created problems for Belbase because he had to learn the ropes of campus Life by himself. There were a lot of pressures, Belbase said. I had to have a job to help pay for my education. Working as a waiter was also very frustrating. The tension level was very high. Belbase described another stress that only someone from another land could have appreciated. Home was very far away and I felt that 1 really only had myself to rely on, Belbase said. The crammed schedule seemed to be the biggest problem for students, although everyone had their own forms of stress. Some learned to control it and pace themselves while others just lived with it. It was obvious that stress thrived in the college atmosphere. Counseling Center Director Dr. George Lawrence dis- cusses methods of stress management with a stu- dent.

What was it like to have a best friend of the op- posite sex? Did they tell each other secrets that dating couples could not? Guys were easier to talk to sometimes, Darcy Aldrich said. Girls tried to compete with one another They looked each other over and won- dered what someone would look like with her hair messed up. Guys didn ' t do those things. They treat- ed me more like an equal. The movie When Harry Met Sally showed a relationship between best friends that led to a realization of love between the two characters. But is that what happened in real life? Aldrich met her friend at the beginning of the school year They started meeting each other in the union for meals and were soon hanging out together all the time. He would sometimes make moves on me, but I think he was just testing me to see what my reac- tion would be, Aldrich said. It never led to any- thing and he never pushed it. Aldrich said there was no physical connection. Instead, he acted like her gtiardian. When we were at a party and some guy came up to me and started talking, he would say, ' Keep your hands off my sister He was very protective and I felt I could trust him, Aldrich said. Dating couples were often troubled by the ina- bility to communicate their true feelings. Romance sometimes covered up feelings that were necessary for people to relate to one another One couple needed to express their feelings but couldn ' t seem to talk to one another, so they turned to a mutual friend. My best friend ' s boyfriend started to hang out with the two of us, Betty Nelson said. We we sort of forced into each other ' s company. I didi talk to guys that much so at first it was very uj comfortable to be around him, but we became veil good friends. The three were always together, which sora times caused trouble. The dating couple wou often turn to Nelson whenever they had probler with each other. I felt like I was in the middle, Nelson saii Whenever they had an argument they woui both tell me their side. I felt like they wanted n to be the negotiator A problem that arose was minor jealousies b tween the two female friends. She told her boyfriend that if they ever brol up he could not date me, Nelson said. I thii she felt a little bit jealous of me and her boyfriei hanging around together, especially after she h; graduated and the two of us were still at school FYiendships between men and women allow( for a better understanding of how each sex act( in certain situations. It also provided insight in the behavior of the opposite sex. He really helped me understand the behavi of guys that I was interested in, Nelson said. I showed me how guys viewed relationships, anoj suppose I helped him with his girlfriend by provi ing a woman ' s perspective. Best friends could provide comfort for oi another and, perhaps, extra sensitivity could 1 given to someone of the opposite sex. The ma who showed little emotion to his male frieni might open up to someone who wouldn ' t see 1 emotions as a weakness. A female might have ft more trust toward a man who wasn ' t in compel tion with her, allowing a solid, but platonic, rel tionship to develop. 52 Male Female Relationships A quick game of pool at The Pub provides Lori Temple and Brian Fitzger- ald friendly competition.

Campus Activity Programmers scheduled come- dians to perform on two Sunday evenings each month for the fall and spring semesters. Comedy Club was one of our main projects spring semester CAPS President David Broadwater said. It was our first try to schedule weekend entertainment. Broadwater said 100 people usually attended the shows, a good turnout for a suitcase campus. CAPs selected the comedians from Comedy Productions, a club circuit. The shows were fund- ed from the CAPs operations budget. Many of the comedians were unknowns, Broadwater said. But a few returned and were in demand by students. The shows were held in the Dugout on the first floor of the Student Union. Bad English Bad English rock and rolled onto campus in November and set up stage in Lamkin Gymnasi- um. The group performed shortly after their new release titled, When I See You Smile, became the No. 2 single in the country. The CAPs fall concert attracted a variety of fans who gave positive reviews of the performance. The group ' s popularity even drew fans from St. Joseph, Savannah and other nearby towns. Concert plans had been sketchy at first as fall semester CAPs President Jeannie Rigby and Direc- tor of News and Information David Gieseke strug- gled to finalize contracts and performance dates with Bad English. Geiseke explained that they had worked on the project since mid-October. A local band. The Edge, opened for Bad English. Vocalist for the band C.J.

Dr. George Feifer Harvard University graduate and freelance jour- nalist Dr. George Feifer presented some insightful information about life in the Soviet Union and be- hind the iron curtain Feb. 1 in Charles Johnson Theatre. He had so much knowledge about the Russian people, Shane Ward said. I was overwhelmed as he tried to cram everything into a few minutes. ' ' His lecture, sponsored by CAPs, was delivered in two parts. The first was Love, Laughter, Vodka, Tears: A look at Soviet life under the surface. For the second part, he showed an unedited clip of Soviet television, taped directly from the Rus- sian satellite Molniya. His lecture was very personal, Danny Ver- kamp said. It was as if he were talking off the top of his head because it wasn ' t formal or structured. Verkamp also mentioned that Feifer attempted to clear previous misconceptions and stereotypes held by audience members. He showed the personal aspects of Russians rather than the political, Elizabeth Gibson said. It made it more interesting because you could al- ways read about politics in the papers. The lecture was very timely as it hit campus shortly after the breaking down of the Berlin Wall. The Rainmakers Returning once again to his alma mater. Bob Walkenhorst, along with his band, the Rainmak- ers, rocked a crowd of 600 at Lamkin Gym on May 2. The Rainmakers entertained the crowd for two hours, beginning their 21-song set with ' ' One More Summer, followed by such golden oldies as Downstream and Government Cheese. The group also treated the crowd to several new songs from their then-unreleased album, The Good News and the Bad News, including Hoo Dee Hoo and Spend it on Love, a comment on the wealth of our country. Walkenhorst said he believed rock and roU was the modern art form.

Later, he became well known for his work in educating citizens about consumer issues. I respected the work he had done, Gary Pil- grim said. But I expected a better presentation.

Most teachers agreed that it was hard to compose themselves and maintain control of the class when they slipped up. Some minor slip-ups were fun and could make the lecture a little more relaxed. Some teachers worried that the students would think less of them, while others believed it helped students real- ize that they were people too. Some embarrassing moments were com- mon to many teachers and maybe should have been put in their job description. Among these were FYeudian shps. This in- volved accidentally substituting an innocent word with one not so acceptable. Another dreaded moment was when a teacher momentarily lost his train of thought while lecturing. Sometimes he would just for- get what he was saying and a hush would fall over the room. Other teachers purposefully provided laughter for students, doing things they nor- mally wouldn ' t in the name of fun. I was such a flake anyway, Dr. Charles Schultz, Theatre Department, said. It might have embarrassed the class but not me. An introduction to graphic design class was was treated to a little extra entertainment one day due to a humorous feud between Paul Falcone, an Art Department faculty member, and his colleague. Dr. Bob Theodore, a psychology teacher Birthdays were a favorite time for the two jokesters to embarrass one another. Just when Falcone thought he had escaped The- odore ' s pranks, a female, hired to dress up Uke Cleopatra and sing all five verses of ' A Tit for a Tkt, paid him a visit during one of his classes. This was Theodore ' s way of thank- ing Falcone for the walker he had sent him on his last birthday. On another occasion Theodore hired a stripper to visit Falcone in class. One business professor, who preferred to remain anonymous, relayed his most embar- rassing moment. This teacher said one time as he entered his classroom he reahzed his fly wjis open. It seemed small and insignificant when looked back upon, he said. But at the very moment it happened, with a whole classroom watching, it was very embarrassing. by Robyn Brinks Embarrassing Moments 59 Dressed in a palazzo pant outfit, Shelly Brabec walks her dog, Honey, in the height of fashion.

For every •ule there were exceptions, but the average dude m campus seemed more concerned with comfort ind economy than dapper dressing. Observation revealed that, for a number of rea- !ons including lack of budget allocated to vardrobe, lack of time allocated to doing laundry ind lack of inspiration to arise more than 15 minutes before class, many male students stuck to basic sweats, T-shirts, tennis shoes and jeans. That ' s not to say that casual dressing couldn ' t )roduce a smart look. Denim never seemed to go )ut of style. Stone and acid-washed fabrics con- inued to be hot after several years on the racks. Fraternity guys got thumbs up, at least from fe- males, when fashion was the topic. According to arb Bradley, Greeks had the corner on chic. ' I liked the preppie look: boats, rolled up and ■uf fed jeans, long-sleeved oxfords and snazzy Levi iOl button-fly stone-washed jeans, she said. They were about as rare as hen ' s teeth, but suits vere occasionally spied on campus. Those bold ■nough to dress up a bit risked facing ridicule. It ook a brave man, firm in his machismo, to take he heat when razzed about his garb. Those who ouldn ' t take it often used that old standby excuse hat all their other clothes were dirty. A wide variety of hair styles were seen on both exes. ' Anything goes seemed to be the rule. Fashion on a although big hair was almost every girl ' s goal, whether her tresses were long or short. The big part of the hair was usually located in the bangs, although in some cases it spread over the entire head. Some carried the trend to the extreme. We had this girl living in our hall, and we were always saying to her, ' Can ' t you do something to tame that stuff down ' ? ' Christine Schicker said. Someday she was going to hit something with that hair and it was going to break clean off. NOfthweSt Kendra Cummins was one of those on campus with notoriously big bangs. She shared a horrify- ing experience involving parental disapproval. budgBt My mom came at me with a pair of scissors over Christmas break, Cummins said. I told her if she cut my bangs I ' d cut her nose. There was perhaps more variation to be seen in male than female ' ' do ' s ' ' : a few had long hair, some had long and short hair, others had chiseled razor cuts or the Dead Poet ' s Society look of long on top, clipped close around the base of the neck. Coordination was the key to fashion for females: flat slippers or boots, stretch or knit pants, shoulder-padded sweaters, blouses and tapestry vests may have been worn for a dressy look, and for casual times, denim mini-skirts or jeans and Reeboks or L.A. Gear ' s. Schicker summed it up best by noting that we weren ' t a wealthy college, but fashionwise we did the best we could with what we had. by Suzie Zech Fashion 61 Ignoring the mutterings o loser and dork, Kevin Sharpc prepares himself for bad weathe with his $52 umbrella. Photo lUus tration by Todd Weddle lUSe t TltH is - tpf If it weren ' t for bad luck, I ' d have no luck at all by Kevin Sharpe If something could go wrong, it was bound to happen to me, and in abundance. I never understood the cliche when it rains it pours until the flood this fall. After the third day of rain, I decided to buy an umbrella. Since I was broke, I had to make a decision: brave the storm or float a check. I chose the latter. I ran to the bookstore to buy the umbrella and found a black one for $12. The moment I exited the union, the rain stopped. But that wasn ' t the worst of it. The money I ex- pected to cover the check didn ' t come. I received a notice from my bank that my check had been returned; Please deduct a $10 handling charge. The bookstore also charged me $ 10 for the check. I decided to forget about the check since pay- day was in two days and I ' d cover it then. However, I didn ' t expect the bookstore to be so organized. When they got the returned check, they sent it back to the bank. I deposited my paycheck, but received another statement: ' ' Please deduct a $ 10 handling charge. ' ' Of course, the bookstore again charged a $10 penalty. I added up the week ' s penalties and figured I had a $52 umbrella in my closet. Although it stopped raining, I wasn ' t going to let it go to waste. For the next week, I took it everywhere. That wasn ' t the only valuable lesson I learned. Another one cost me $55. I left the bookstore after asking them to remove my name from the list informing everyone that 1 bounced a check. I saw an American Express credit card display. I knew better than to get a credit card, but they offered a free portable office kit. It had everything anyone would want: a rul- er, tape measure, glue, tape, scissors and even an X-act o knife. It was a student ' s dream. While no institution in their right mind woul( give me a credit card with my bad rating, fou weeks later I got a shiny new credit card. I knev there were no boundaries for me. I kept the card, but the thrill ended when I go my first bill. I should have left home without it I didn ' t understand why I got a bUl. I hadn ' t usee the card yet. When I opened the envelope, I founc I had to pay a $55 annual fee. There were other times when I didn ' t need t( spend money to get in trouble. Sometimes, some thing good turned into something rotten for me For the Homecoming Variety Show, I playec Robin Leach. There were only two performances but the results seemed to last a lifetime. At the beginning it was great. Girls came up tc me at the bars and talked about my Robin Leach impersonation. After a while, it started to get old and I couldn ' t go anywhere in public without be ing called Robin Leach three or four times. Sometimes I didn ' t have to do anything to get in trouble, because it came looking for me. I came back two nights before spring classes be gan to party with friends. We went to the Palms People were in a good mood to be back. Later, a girl plopped on my lap and just startec talking to me. In mid-sentence, we fell, and : thought the only thing hurt was our pride. At noon I was awakened for a phone call froir the girl who fell off my lap. She was at the hospi tal — the accident had broken her butt. By the way, Kevin, what ' s the name of youi insurance company? she asked, after telling me she might need surgery if her tailbone didn ' t heal. After spending $52 on an umbrella, $55 on a portable office kit, and breaking a girl ' s butt with- in six months, things couldn ' t get worse. 62 Costly Mistakes Photo Illustration by Stephanie Frey and Brandon Russell Costly Mistakes 63 Henry II accuses his youn- gest son, portrayed by Jer- ry Genochio, of plotting against liim. Photo by Chuck Holley Two fall plays light up Theater Department by Dale Brown The lights and hustle of play production made life exciting for stu- dents in the production of The Lion in Winter and the Christmas musi- cal The Bremen Town Musicians. Mixing comedy with history was a unique challenge for students who worked on The Lion in Winter this fall. Although taking liberties with dialogue, the plot incorporated ac- curate historical data with 12th cen- tury pottery and jewelry for props. The plot dealt with King Henry IPs decision about which son would receive his crown. Liasons were for- ged and broken during the struggle. Although seemingly simple, the plot embodied confusion resulting from Henry ' s affair with Alais, a French princess, while still in love with his imprisoned wife, Eleanor. The end also provided a need for imagination with Henry deciding to repeat the events, leaving the au- dience to make their own conclusion. It was a great experience and fun to do, Dave Momphard said. It was a well-written play and the actors played their parts well. Our director. Jack Parkhurst, did an outstanding job piecing everything together. Momphard was cast as the lead, Henry II, King of England. Six other actors joined him in the production. One cast member, Jeff Allen, felt many of the actors came of age under Parkhurst ' s direction. Some of the best times were the hours of practice before the performances. The things I remembered most were the practices in front of the theater, on the administration lawn and the kissing bridge, Momphard said. The Bremen Town Musicians treated audiences to a show which incorporated singing animals on the road to a musical career. The four animals were challenged by events ranging from being robbed to finding housing. The play proved unique by involv- ing the audience in singing Christmas carols and helping the animals dur- ing the play. Everyone got to be very involved in the play, from those in the costume class to all the production people, Lisa Smeltzer said. Besides being presented at North- west, the play went on tour in Mis- souri and Iowa, performing at schools, nursing homes and country clubs. All proceeds went to charity. In the end, the plays proved pleas- ing to both the audience and those involved in production. Henry H ' s sons, portrayed by Jerry Gen- ochio, David Kramer and Jeff Allen, vie for succession to the throne.

Photo by Susan Maynes Cast and Crew Play All Sumner The Summer Repertory Theater was busy in its third year as the cast and crew per- formed four productions in the Mary Linn Performing Arts Center. During June they rehearsed and prepared for their July opening. In three weeks they Itad four productions ready. After being reviewed by the play selection committee, a mystery, comedy and musical were chosen. ' ' We were rushed for time but we put them all together, Danna Seger said. Most actors rehearsed six weeks for one show, but we prepared for four shows in half that time. Some of the cast and crew put in 70-hour weeks during that time. The shows included Little Shop of Hor- rors, Neil Simon ' s Odd Couple, Angel Street, and The Pied Piper. Little Shop of Horrors was the story of a geeky flower shop attendant, Seymour, who lived m a big city with Audrey II, a man- eating plant who sang and danced. The Odd Couple, the story of two div- orced men who find that living together was at times far from desirable, kept the au- dience laughing at opposing characters Fe- lix Unger and Oscar Madison. A mystery thriller, Angel Street was a classic production that had been performed since 1938. The story dealt with a Victorian housewife who struggled to keep her sanity in a mysterious old house. The children ' s production of The Pied Piper ' ' was a fairytale about a piper who saved the town of Hamlin from a plague of rats. Performers included professional and student actors from all over the country. We had an exceptional group of actors from all over, Dr. Theo Ross, theater professor, said. Danna Seger acted in The Odd Couple and helped with costumes, washing, ironing and helping actors change costumes between acts. During ' Little Shop of Horrors, ' there was one actor that changed clothes five times, Seger said. ' ' The problem ' ' as that we only had 30 seconds to make his changes before he need- ed to be back on stage. Though performing four productions in such a short time was not easy, for some, the thrill of being in the spotlight was reward enough. by Scott Vater Summer Repertory 65 Theater students assume role of director by Tori Sybert Jerry Genochio and Jon Freelar rehearse a scene as Kim Carrie directs them for the production Toys for Men. Photo by Tbc Hollen Work with Play: A Class Act Theater majors got their first chance at put- ting it all together when they cast and direct- ed one-act plays in the department ' s lab series. Lab series required the student director to select a work, arrange for costume and set design and cast actors. After that, all the elements were put together for practice, practice and more practice. Directing a lab series production was a lot of work, but most agreed the experience was well worth it. Three one-act plays were produced this year as part of the Theater Department ' s lab series. Those included Tbys for Men, directed by Kim Carrick, and Nice People Dancing to Good Country Mus- ic, ' ' directed by Kathryn Pace. The plays were writ- ten by Lee Blessing to be produced in tandem and were staged the same night. ' Soap Opera, ' ' directed by Angy Webb and writ- ten by John Kirkpatrick, was the other one-act. As Webb tried her hand at directing for the first time, she felt some anxiety, but said it was most- ly a lot of fun. ' ' I thought it would be a problem of directing fel- low students, Webb said. But the actors were wonderful and very supporting. Dr. Theo Ross, chairman of the Theater Depart- ment, said the lab series, initiated in 1986, provid- ed an opportunity for faculty and students, as well as local community members, to stage theatrical productions on campus. He said those might have included one-act plays, senior performance recitals, original scripts, oral interpretations and technical demonstrations. Each of the lab series productions this year was directed by a theater student. Experimentation was the name of the game. Director Pace said of the lab series options. Production proposals were submitted to a la series committee for consideration, and produo tion dates were then assigned to those selected The department took the initiative to sched ule dates and arrange for the Charles Johnsoi Theatre for practices and productions, ' ' Ross said This year, all lab series productions were stagec in the spring, as the Theater Department was oo cupied with main stage productions in the fall Each lab series production received a $30 budg et from University Players, and the royalty anr script fees for each were paid by the Theate Department. Pace explained that lab series directors ' chose their own crews and production staffs and cast i cast. They were in charge of every facet of the production, including supervising approximatelj 45 hours of rehearsal for each one-act. In addition to being invited to submit lab series proposals, members of the community were als( encouraged to participate in productions selected We had 32 people audition for five parts, Pact said of the play she directed. Most of them we« students. We would have liked to have gotten more from the community. We did get a lot of people that weren ' t theater majors. The lab series provided theater majors their first hands-on opportunity to cast and direct plays, as well as got the community involved with the University. 66 One-act Plays As part of her directing duties, Kim Carrick works on props for Toys for Men.

All the lubri- cants will be enclosed in the engine. Possibly, we will see even a lifetime engine that will never need service, maybe a disposable engine. If anything should fail, the whole engine would be re- placed. American automo- bile manufacturers will use smaller wheels and tires on these aerodynamic cars without losing its sporty performance values. Most importantly, fuel ec- onomy will continue to be the topic of the ' 90s. There will be a totally digital elec- tronic vehicle. The taillights and signal lights will be CRT . As for other transporta- tion, solar power will work its way into the automobUe. It will poVver some cars, but mostly be adopted into the charging of batteries. Trams will start to be widely used in larger cities. Battery-powered cars will be used again if engines can produce an efficient car and bring the cost of the 68 ' 90s batteries down. Transportation will con- tinue to make advancement without as much harm to the people and the environ- ment. Kevin Bell, Electronics Technology Major Voice-over: A Remote Idea The voice will be the major form of communica- tion in the 1990s. Your voice will make the remote control obsolete. Every item in the house- hold will be available in models that can be turned on and off by your voice. Audio-visual equipment, such as televisions, will also be controlled by voice to change channels, increase or decrease volume or turn off at a specific time. The news will also under- go major changes with newspapers being electron- ically transmitted to sub- scribers in order to save on paper costs. I foresee tele- vision networks losing viewers to regional news- casts that cover national and international news much more effectively.

Christy Homan, Broadcasting Major President, faculty senators project mission of Northwest in the ' 90s As we look to the future, there are several trends which Northwest Missouri State University needs to adjust to. Some of these have been mentioned numerous times: the global community, the impact of technology, the increasing need for basic skills in communications and computation, and the changing mix of students (that is; the increasing propor- tion of adults returning to college on a part-time, non- traditional basis). The important thing in positioning an institution is under- standing clearly what the trends are and then deciding whether to swim with or against the tide. In terms of global awareness, technology, and basic skills. Northwest must go with the tide; that is, make sure that our students are prepared to capitalize upon those trends. In the case of the changing mix of students, I believe we should swim against the tide. Specifically, we should posi- tion ourselves as an institution that caters to traditional stu- dents (18- to 22-years old) who study full-time and live in a residence hall. (Our electronic campus was designed as part of that strategy.) This is the group that we can serve best. Of course, we will also serve older students who want to participate in that kind of an educational experience, but we will not spend a great deal of energy developing programs for non-traditional, off campus students. than non-regional universi- ties, but not lower gradua- tion requirements. That provides us with a significant challenge. Some academic programs by nec- essity need to be offered by every regional university, but certainly each should have programs of strength and emphasis. These would primarily be technical rather than liber- al arts areas, and duplica- tion in these areas at every regional univeristy is an in- efficient allocation of limit- ed resources. Liberal arts should be a vital part of the academic mission of every four-year institution. A look at the educational background of Fortune 500 company ex- ecutives reveals the success of a good liberal arts edu- cation. I find it hard to agree that any academic institution should have liberal arts as their only mission, but my Dr. Duane Jewell, Agri- culture Dept. Chairman Northwest Missouri State University is a regional Uni- versity, and as such should be responsive to the needs of our regional clients. This does not necessitate an open admission poli- cy, but does imply that en- rollment requirements not significantly limit access. Northwest should strive for accessability with aca- demic rigor. This would sug- gest that we might have lower admission standards Dr. Dean Hubbard, President disagreement does not make it wrong. Such insti- tutions seem to be doing well, and I can only assume that their graduates are also. Testing and assessment of academic programs are not only a reality, they are de- sirable. Academic institu- tions ought to be held ac- countable for the results of their academic programs. I believe that Northwest is in a position to establish lead- ership in this area over the next decade. My concern with higher education in the next de- cade is that it forgets its commitment to its obliga- tions to the heritage of 2,000 years of accumulated wisdom in its haste to look relevant, efficient and cheap. Regardless of Kirksville ' s designation in recent years as the state ' s liberal arts institution, we must con- tinue to offer a strong and viable program in that era. We must resist the temp- tation to be trendy, to prac- tice education by brochure, and to lure students on the less-than-truthful assump- tion that in preparing them for jobs, we have prepared them for life. We know better, and they will find out soon enough, that the primary object of education should be the formation of charac- ter, not the preparation of clerks. Dr. John Hopper, History, Humanities Professor Nineties 69 f. t I More Care in Child Care Because of the increasing number of families with both parents working, there will be a greater demand for adequate child care. These parents will take more care in selecting the environ- ment in which they place their children. Not only will they ask for references, but they will visit the center and talk to the supervisor and other workers. Also, be- cause of the child molesta- tion trials, the parents will ask for more supervision and government-funded programs. Overall, child care in the ' 90s will increase in size as well as quality.

In the last couple of years 1 have seen student news- papers, including ours, go to war against what the ad- ministration would consider our journalistic boundaries. Compared to the prob- lems the framers of the Constitution have had to go through, I consider our problems of fighting for our rights null and void. But ev- ery evil has its seed. Overdramatic as that may sound, I believe that while the problem may be considered small, if we keep giving in little pieces at a time, eventually the whole will be gone and we will have nothing. Our students and, basic- ally, our country are apath- etic in fighting for rights as guaranteed by the First Amendment. Those rights may soon be taken away as we let the smoothness of our politicians decide how we will write and speak.

Billions of dollars will be ►at from the defense budg- c with the savings being i)ent on domestic programs uvolving education, the rug war, AIDS research, etc. With the economy stUl strong in 1992, George Bush will easily win re-election and a fellow Republican will follow four years later. The Democrats will keep their large majority in the House, but will see their advantage in the Senate remain the same or shrink slightly.

William Pick ROTC cadet Save the Planet In the ' 90s envirorunental protection and various forms of conservation will be addressed more effec- tively than ever, simply be- cause they will not only be- gin to affect our standard of living, but potentially, our very existence. Some ex- perts say it may be too late to reverse some effects caused by our neglect and abuse of the planet. Some scientists predict that we wiU experience dramatic, undesirable climate change in the next 40 to 50 years because of the greenhouse effect. We see many of the effects now, such as over- flowing landfills, diminish- ing rain forests and sewer and water contamination. But as the Reagan adminis- tration showed us, we can ' t count on the federal gov- ernment for the immediate action that is so vital. Citizen groups have to lob- by for environmental legis- lation and demand that manufacturers produce environmentally-safe pro- ducts. Until the people voice concern, get active and are willing to change their lifestyles we can ' t ex- pect these issues to be properly addressed. Lisa Gruenloh broadcast major Facing the Drug Problems of the Future America Just Say No ? Tracy Adrian broadcast major I don ' t think there will be too much change in drug use in the ' 90s. People are going to use drugs no mat- ter what the government tries to do. There is even talk of legalizing pot. It could then be governed the same as alcohol. The government could stop spending mil- lions to stop it and make money on the taxes put on it. A frightening topic of the past decade was the in- creasing use of illegal drugs and the effect on society. However, I feel the ' 90s will show a steady decrease in drug usage for several rea- sons. First, American cul- ture is becoming more edu- cated on the risks of drugs and their consequences. Se- condly, federal agencies are supporting drug prevention and rehabilitation pro- grams. Finally, society and the workplace will not tolerate illegal drug users and will place harsh conse- quences upon them.

The event, sponsored by Phi Alpha Theta and the Department of History, Humanities and Foreign Languages, was intended to promote multicultural- ism in various food areas in both American and world history. The tradition was start- ed by history and human- ities Associate Professor Thomas Carneal when he served a reception dinner for students in his Old South class. The meal was so successful it sparked a department-wide effort to continue the event. According to John Sickels, student coordinator of the event, Carneal had done the majority of the planning and work to pull the event together in years past. This year. Phi Alpha Theta decided that he needed to have some of the responsibility taken off his shoulders. My job was to assign tasks and make sure everything got done on time, Sickels said. We tried to pair the most experienced cooks with the most difficult dishes. ' ' This year the International Student Organization and Chinese graduate students also prepared dishes from their native countries. Originally, Tkste of History was funded exclusively by participating faculty members. But when the expense became too great, the department received funding from Student Senate and donations from faculty, stu- Laurie Schulke enjoys her meal of Southern fried chicken. The event attracted about 450 students, faculty and towns- people. Photo by Mona Long dents and the community. Faculty members from the combined depart- ments and volunteers from Phi Alpha Theta pre- pared dishes of ethnic background to take to the event. For example. Dr. .Joel Benson, faculty ad- viser of Phi Alpha Theta, contributed 250 pieces of Southern fried chicken. Some of the other foods served included Missouri sour-dough biscuits, Bos- ton brown bread, sassa- frass tea. Depression cake, Shaker lemon pie. Dr. Roger Corley ' s potent bourbon balls, fried rabbit and homemade butter- scotch wrapped in waxed paper We tried to make dish- es to fit each course taught, Carneal said. Quite a bit of planning went into it. As tradition dictated, the event was held in Colden Hall Room 334. Hungry faculty, students and townspeople filed into the large lecture room and lined up for the climb up the stairs to fill their plates. Curious students passing by out- side peeked in the doorway to see what was going on. The rows of graduated desks were decked out in white cloths with red and yellow apples alternating at every other seat. Those partaking in the feast stacked their plates with samples of the many dishes lining the top and bottom rows of the room. Not only did most have plenty on their plates, but also balanced several individual portion dish- es on its rim. The entire town of Maryville was invited and an es- timated 400 to 450 people attended. We usually ran out of food every year, Benson said. Although the meal was not cooked by Ma Ingalls, it was one she would have been proud to put on her table. by Stacy DeLong and Suzie Zech Ihste of History 75 Ceramist Paul Mallory rear- ranges his wares as Mike Kruise and Ann English browse through the halls of the Fine Arts Building during the bi-annual Art Club Show and Sale.

Photo by Mona Long 76 Art Sale Day r- ainting the Town Students cash in on creativity Uriginal Northwest creativity lined the hall- way as far as the eye could see. Paintings, drawings, photographs and ceramics graced the walls and lined table after table in the main floor corridor of the Olive DeLuce Fine Arts Building. As tradition dictated, doors opened at 7 a.m. for the bi-annual Art Club Show and Sale, admitting a flood of people eager to behold the artistry on dis- play. The Art Club sponsored the event at the end of each fall and spring semester to show off some of Northwest ' s student ta- lent and give them the op- portunity to make a little money in the process. Lee Hageman, chairman of the Art Department, said that the fall show was a medium-sized show but the spring show was ex- pected to be twice as big. The artwork at the show was divided into two categories. The two-dimensional category included paintings, drawings and prints, and the three dimensionals included ceramics and sculptures. Art Club members organized and executed the adver- tising campaign and took care of planning e show from start to finish. Poster making and distribution took up much of the club ' s preparation time. According to Art Club Vice President Mark Smeltzer, 5 percent of Show and Sale profits went into the club ' s kitty. This money was used to pay off promotional poster costs and the rest went into a fund which was used to ease the expense of art club field trips. One problem the show had in the past several years was a trend towards higher enrollment in graphic arts classes and away from traditional studio art courses, which created a shortage of materials for the sale. According to Smeltzer, the art club tried to motivate Ian, son of Dr. Kim Spradling, has a bird ' s eye view as Paul Mallory- prices a painting. Spradling was an assistant profes- sor in the Art Department. Photo by Don Carrick people into participating in the sale by encouraging them to make items spe- cifically for the art sale. This seemed to be a good way to prevent the artists from getting too attached to their creations. There was just some- thing about painters, Smeltzer said. They tend- ed to overprice their paint- ings because they got so attached to their work. Most of those participat- ing in the sale priced their work according to the materials that went into the project , plus a little ex- tra for labor Pains were taken to en- sure that paintings and drawings were in frames and nicely matted. At the December show and sale, matte cutting demonstra- tions were given by the students to help customers learn to prepare their projects for hanging. Many of those who sold things in the show used the money to pay the hefty material fees acrued in their studio classes. In many cases the sales barely paid for the project. However, that was all right because one of their main objectives was to learn to create in a varie- ty of mediums. We weren ' t really worried about the finished product or the money we made, but the process it took to make it, Smeltzer said. As in past years, Russ Schmaljohn, ceramics instruc- tor and sponsor of the Art Club, sold many of his cer- amic works at the sale. Ceramics were one of the big- gest selling items. Artwork at the sale represented many hours of labor- ing over a canvas, photo chemicals or a hunk of clay. And who knows, maybe there was another Da V ' inci in the crowd. by Sara Hosford and Suzie Zech Art Sale Day 77 Composition teacher Brenda Ryan discusses an assignment with Charmla Tlioren.

Frucht ' s students said he made history easy to learn. Photo by Don Carrick 78 Good Teachers sw G L uring most students ' college careers, they found a teacher who appealed to them. Whether it was spe- cial teaching methods or a sense of humor that at- tracted them, that teacher had done something dif- ferent from others, mak- ing him special. Although some classes were almost unbearable, a good teacher sometimes made the difference. History was one course students often wanted to pass over when scheduling classes, but it was required for all degrees. Dr Richard Frucht, a history professor, was a favorite among many students. History was kind of boring, but Dr Frucht made it interesting and easy to learn, Amy Cour- sen said. He seemed knowledgeable about the material and really want rade A ' ' Learning notable instructors earn admiration English instructor Paul Jones suggests some changes in Don- na Bower ' s paper. Jones tried to help students become effi- cient with the word processing system. Photo by Evelyn Kopp ed us to learn what he was teaching. Frucht thought the best teaching method was to ef- fectively present material so the students felt that learn- ing was more important than the grade they received. Teachers needed to have knowledge, Frucht said. ' And they had to be able to dehver it in a way that stu- dents would respond to and find interesting. In some cases, students found teachers who left the textbooks behind better able to help them with their work. They cared enough about how students did in their classes to give them extra assistance. Paul Jones, who taught composition, was one such teacher He taught us how to use the computers, even though we were in a composition class, Kevin Malick said. Jones also made students aware that he was avail- Staci Matthiesen said able for help outside the classroom by showing them exactly where his office was. A quaUty that made stu- dents consider Jones an exceptional teacher was his ability to explain things in an easily comprehensi- ble manner Brenda Ryan, also a favorite among composi- tion teachers, offered a feeling of comradery to her students. She was a down-to- earth teacher who let us know she was on our side, Amy Collins said. When class material was done she would let us go. She did not make things up just to fill the time. A sense of humor was another facet of personal- ity students considered helpful in making class bearable. Chris Sink, edu- cational psychology teach- er, was known for this, that whenever no one would answer a question, he ran back and forth from the front to the back of the room to answer it himself. He was energetic and excited about his job, Mat- thiesen said. He liked it, so he made us like it too. There were also a number of teachers who made ef- forts to get to know their students. They did so by learn- ing names and a little bit about each student. This made students feel more at ease in class instead of feeling Uke a social security number. Usually when choosing a class, students took into con- sideration who taught it before signing up. A teacher who went that extra mile to make learning a challenge and a pleasure was always an added attraction. by Claudia Lokamas Good Teachers 79 rash Course Students invest in roller coaster market Students got more than they had bargained for when they enrolled in Mike Wilson ' s investment management or invest- ment principles classes. The excitement of the stock exchange was trans- ported into these invest- ment classes due to a new project which allowed stu- dents to actually choose, buy and keep track of stocks and bonds worth $10,000. Of course, funds were not available for each stu- dent to be responsible for that much money, so the classes divided into small groups and one group was secretly chosen by the professor to invest the real money. Wilson numbered the 12 groups and put them in a hat to choose. It was total random choice, Wilson said. Luckily, it was a good group. The chosen group had the responsibility of preserv- ing the money, and possibly adding to it, so that the project could continue in following years. Since no one knew which group was in the hot spot, everyone had to be very careful in making their decisions. We didn ' t treat it like a game, William Cheong said. I read the Wall Street Journal and watched CNN to keep informed. The possibility of dealing with so much money not only put on the pressure but also caused a lot of excite- ment for students. We didn ' t know who had the real money, so we had to assume it was our group, Bill Dieterich said. The Investment management instructor Michael Wilson discuss- es the New iorA- Stock Exchange Index. Wilson ' s students con- tinually contacted professional stockbrokers to stay updated on their stocks ' changes. Photo by Don Carrick first week we made $800 and were really excited until the next week when we lost $600. Because of the secrecy, Wilson was in charge of making all purchases, but students kept in constant contact with their brokers, getting quotes and check- ing on the progress of their stocks. They decided how much they would invest in which companies and when they would buy or sell. Besides a limited amount of time, few res- trictions were placed on their selections. It was our own choice what we put money in, Brenda Long said. We owned into Ford and IBM, but we bought a CD just to be safe. At the end of the sem- ester, the group that had the real money was re- vealed and grades were giv- en. The amount of money which would have been made by each group was not the determining factor Instead, the logic behind stu- dents ' choices and the thoroughness of their research were considered. An evaluation was also given to each group by professional investors, who gave suggestions and answered questions. Some would take the knowledge gained from this short project and possibly become millionaires; others might only thumb through the business section of the daily newspaper and remember the excitement of the game. But all who spent a semester playing the stock market profited from their investment. by Kristi Madison 80 Investment Classes m Randy Higgins and Dawn McClintock scan The V ' a Street Journal.

McLaughlin found sharing his knowledge with a classroom similar to trying to convince a courtroom of his views. Photo by Dean Carlson 84 Patrick McLaughlin Patrick McLaughlin Class Adjourned Judge and prosecutor brings career to classroom m o some, Dr. Patrick McLaughlin ' s list of duties appeared long, and each a challenge in itself. As assistant Nodaway County prosecutor, Maryville city prosecutor, Tkrkio municipal judge, attorney, profes- sor and Accounting and Finance Department chairman, the Irishman must have had the luck of the blarney to keep on top of it all. Instead of luck, McLaughlin insisted it was time management that balanced his career with his family. McLaughlin and his siblings were a tight-knit group, and he was father to two girls in an equally tight fami- ly. That was why it was important to him to make the most of his time spent at home. The answer lay in quality time, his wife, Lana, said. With all of his responsibilities, he could concentrate on one thing and give it all he had. Thus, when he was offered department chair, he and Lana had to seriously consider if such a move was worth the extra time. He knew any activity he added to his schedule would take away from family time he consi- dered so valuable. But in the end, he decided he would benefit from taking the position. I was pleased with how things worked out, McLaughlin said. I hated to ignore opportunities that came along. Sometimes if you didn ' t grab the ring at the time, you didn ' t always get a second chance. The way I took those opportunities, I experienced a lot of things other people had not. The McLaughlins came to Maryville so that he could teach for a couple of years and get into private law prac- tice. After growing up in a small community and going to high school at Raymore-Peculiar, he wanted to go to a small town to practice law. I thought teaching a couple of years at a university would be a good way to get into a new community, meet people and establish myself as a lawyer, he said. Much to his surprise, McLaughlin found he eryoyed teaching. He decided to continue with it a couple more years, and found that he enjoyed it more as time progressed. He decided then that if he was going to stay in teach- ing, he should find something to augment his chosen field. That was when he got into city prosecuting and later county prosecuting. McLaughlin found his careers to be more integrated than separate. His law practice kept him current in the field and he used that to supplement his teaching. When teaching his business law classes, he had actual cases he could bring in rather than having to rely solely on the text- book. He related specific instances with which he had been involved so students could hear real-life examples. All of those things had a definite bearing on what he did in the classroom, Dr Ron DeYoung, College of Business, Government and Computer Science dean, said. He could bring his experience into the classroom. He wasn ' t just talking about things that went on in a book, he applied things that went on right here in the county. It showed in his classroom teaching, and his classes filled up first. One reason for the interest in McLaughlin ' s classes might have been his belief that it was important to make his classes enjoyable while still getting his point across. His good rapport with students earned him four Teacher of the Year awards. These were voted on by the student body of the Business Department, and of the four years he was eligible, McLaughlin won each time. 1 had respect for students, and hopefully they had respect for me, he said. With that kind of relation- ship, one could go a long way. It seemed, then, that it was McLaughlin himself — his style, his attitude, his skills — rather than Irish luck that kept him on top of it all. by Teresa Mattson Patrick McLaughlin 85 laying It Up Credit for a class with a different beat It was one minute before half time and the crowd was silent, anticipating the kick- off. A slow drum roll rum- bled from the ranks of the marching band ... Bam! Cym- bals crashed as the kicker ' s foot met the ball. The march- ing band not only provided halftime entertainment, but served as spirit boosters dur- ing games as well. We didn ' t just march, we performed, Greg Fayson said. We had party favors and canned confetti that we sprayed after touchdowns. Along with the Flag Corps, Steppers and twirler Eliza beth Crawford, the marching band performed at all home games. Band numbers, cho- reographed by Sergei and his graduate assistants, were in- terspersed with perfor- mances by different auxiliai-y groups. Marching band members practiced long and hard. Practices lasted an hour and 10 minutes, four days a week, five if a game was scheduled for the coming weekend. The course was worth one credit hour and qualified either as an academic or an activity credit. Academic credits qualified as either RE. or music credits. Music majors were required to have a certain number of activities for graduation. Gpa ' s weren ' t affected by grades issued for activites and there was no fee. Anyone from a music to a biology major could join the marching band if they could play an instrument. In the course of providing entertainment, the march- ing band was also a strong public relations tool for Northwest. Not only did it represent the University at games, but during the year the band often went on road trips to perform in marching exhibitions, in par- 86 Marching Band Shawn Cassity strikes a powerful note on his trumpet while playing at halftime. During games, musicians en- tertain in the endzone by singing, cheering and provid- ing humorous sound effects. Photo by Don Carrick ades and at high schools for recruiting purposes. According to band director Alfred Sergei, the band had many honors bestowed upon them, including performing at Arrowhead Stadium. The band also had the honor of being chosen out of all the colleges in Missouri to march at the Governor ' s in- augural parade in Jefferson City. Being in the band had its benefits. Members got into games free, and after perfor- mances they received food and drink compliments of the band fund. It was a good way to show support for the team and meet new people, Jodie Winter said. We were like a big family. When we pulled together, that was when we did our best and it felt great. Sometimes it wasn ' t easy because the weather didn ' t always cooperate. Wind sent sheet music flying above the heads of the performers and rain and snow also caused multitudes of problems. Performing in heavy fall uniforms could also be bad on hot, hidian summer days, especially for those who had to carry large instruments. Despite weather problems, each year had its share of perfect days and good times. The two highlights of every year were Family Day and Homecoming, Sergei said. But each person saw a different event as important. No matter which event was seen as important to band members, one thing was for certain; games and parades just wouldn ' t have been the same without their sweet notes and vitality. by Pam Keisling i 1 L During the Family Day game, trombone player Tom Lord finds his place in line.

Grinding and buzzing, it resembled a medieval tor- ture device, but together they figured out how to work the buffer. Introduction to jewelrj- and metalworking w-as a small class of 15 students. No one sat in desks taking notes, rather they walked around the room working at the various machines and consulting one another on their projects. The room resembled a chemistry lab. In- stead of desks and chairs there were four large lab ta- bles and tall stools. Each table had several gas outlets and vices to saw metal. Tkckle boxes, hammers, pliers and even a skateboard were scattered around the room. Lee Hageman, chairman of the art department, taught the jewelr ' classes. Hageman had spent 10 years building a custom design jeweliy shop into a success af- ter graduating from the University of Kansas in 1957. He used his business experience and college education at Northwest, which was his first teaching job after graduate school. Hageman required jewelry for all art majors. He felt it was very important for art students to have the ex- perience of working with three-dimensional materials and the special design problems they created. The emphasis was to create an intelligent designer, Hageman stressed. It was necessary to have knowledge of materials of different types. It was a mat- ter of spatial objects versus two-dimensional. Elizabeth Armstrong and Matt Romano trade ideas, an impor- tant part of the creative process. Students learned how to cre- ate jewelry with sheet metal and wire and how to solder and cast pieces with a wax modeling and burnout process. Photo by Mona Long The students seemed to enjoy the process of creat- ing with metals. I had written poetry for 16 years and this was a lot like writing a poem, Michael Zarifis said. In- stead of seeing it on paper, 1 saw it on my hand. Although enjoyable, the class demanded hard work and long hours. Because students purchased their own metals, it could have been a costly class, de- pending on the metal pur- chased. Tlie process of creating a piece of jewelry w ' as com- plex. Gwynne Richmond explained that the design was first drawn on paper. Then the shaded two- dimensional pattern was transferred to the metal, cut out with a jeweler ' s saw and shaped to become three-dimensional. The first project was a necklace made with these basic techniques. It taught students the fundamentals of using the equipment and tools. After my first three assignments, most students should have been ready to go out into the business world of jewelry, Hageman said. The second project was similar to the first with stu- dents designing broaches or pins. After mastering the process of forming jewelry from sheet metal and wire, students learned to create by sculpting designs in wax. A plaster mold was formed around the wax and after it hardened, the wax was melted out to create a hollow mold. Molten metal was poured into this mold, and a piece of jewelry was cast. At the conclusion of the semester, the machinery didn ' t appear to be as monstrous and inoperable as it once had. With the machinery ' s help, a l ittle imagina- tion and hours of hard work, students produced some dazzling metalworks to adorn themselves with. by Jill Erickson Jewelry Class 89 Tending roses is a pastime that provides Dr. John Hopper with solitude and conviviality. The professor of histoi-y and human- ities took his roses on the road competitively to shows in the Midwest. Photo hv Dean Carlson ■s. r 90 John Hopper KTl John Hopper Thought Prouoking Cultivating beauty in human nature and prize-winning roses estled in his five-by-seven office, books, papers and memorabilia hiding almost e i linch of flaking wall paper, Dr. John Hopper sat slowly looking over the plfiloj phy text for his next class. His cigarette dwindled in the ashtray. He laughed, commenting on how he spotted good philosophy students. Hopper believed philosophy took a certain amount of open-mindedness and honesty, and he tried to practice what he preached in his life outside the classroom. Getting stu- dents to think for themselves was Hopper ' s main motive. In the classroom he paced back and forth, jumping from subject to subject, presenting the questions of Ufe. Philosophy was a class where two people from two places pondered the same question from different perspectives, Hopper said. I learned just as much every time I taught an introduction class as the students who came in. In class. Hopper turned students on to the abstract mode of philosophical debate. He coached introduction to philosophy students through discussions ranging from the most miniscule ethical questions to God. We had to think about these topics because they dealt with more than just grades, ' ' Andrew Hampton said. They were about life. Something must have been happening in Hopper ' s classes. He was one of the most controversial, yet popular professors on campus. Out of his 2.5-year teaching career, 20 were spent at Northwest in the history and philosophy departments. Life in Maryville had its ups and downs for Hopper Despite a divorce in 1979 and his home and library being destroyed by a fire in 1983, he continued to survive. My life always centered around my teaching, Hopper said. Divorces. House burnings. They were all vastly overblown in their cosmic proportion. Although some might have considered his office a mess, Hopper claimed he could find everything in it. The techniques he used to maintain order in his office varied a great deal from the way he kept order in his rose garden, which was an immacu- late sight. His fascination with roses started in the late ' 60s when a friend at Miami University gave him three bushes. Since then. Hopper has acquired 265 specimen. 1 thought it was very important to choose a hobby that gave me solitude when I wanted it and conviviality when I chose to have it, Hopper said. Since he didn ' t teach during the summer. Hopper devoted the majority of his time to his rose garden. However, when school was in session, he focused his attention on matters he thought were in need of change. Over the years at Northwest, Hopper had pressed issues he felt needed to be pressed, and as a result, stirred up his share of controversy. He was state secretary for the American Association of University Professors and had been a leading spokesperson advocating the 1988 no confidence vote concerning Dean Hubbard. Despite these involvements. Hopper didn ' t think of himself as being political. People said that philosophy was so important, yet some never put it to work in the outer world, he said. ' I couldn ' t teach a three-week course on ethics and then go out and be a real son-of-a-bitch. The faded and peeling wallpaper in Hopper ' s cluttered office lent an unique air of antiquity to the room as he sat, dragging on his filterless cigarette, turning the pages of the book on his lap. Although his five-by-seven office barely afforded him space to move, he was making things move outside without even being there. by Justin Cooper John Hopper 91 I ractice Makes Perfect Preparation for the real world through role playing 1 ens hurling through the air, spitwads smacking into faces and students hit- ting each other and pulling hair weren ' t exactly activi- ties expected to take place in college classrooms. However, for students enrolled in secondary methods and techniques, these things were common occurrences. This one- block course was designed to prepare secondary edu- cation majors for student teaching. The class taught them general methods and techniques for handling hypothetical classroom problems. The students did a lot of role playing, ' ' secondary education director Dn Wil- liam Hinckley said. They learned specific teaching and discipline skills. Each student in the class taught a modeling or dis- ciplinary lesson to the others every class period. During a modeling les- son the student teacher demonstrated how to create something or perform a specific task. The rest of the students acted as pupils and attempted to follow the instructions. They also presented the teacher with var- ious questions and problems. The teacher then tried to answer the questions and maintain control of the class. The discipline lesson was perhaps the most interest- ing. While this lesson took place, the students bombard- ed the teacher with questions and misbehaved in the most annoying ways possible. It was not unusual to wit- ness pen cap fights or temper tantrums. This particu- lar exercise helped beginning teachers learn to handle behavioral problems while preparing them for situations they might face in a real classroom. Mock parent teacher conferences were another way Grading students ' assignments, Jim Thrwater concentrates in the school library. Tkrwater a math education major, taught math classes at Maryville High School during the fall semester Photo by Janet Boyd students prepared for the real world of teaching. For this lesson, two students took on the role of parents and another acted as their child ' s teacher. In one instance the make-believe parents pre- tended to be gay lovers and accused the teacher of making advances to- ward their adopted son. Since student teachers had no knowledge of the nature of the problems be- fore lessons took place, the teacher was appalled in this case.. Although it was a rather bizarre incident, it helped students gain practice in handling touchy situa- tions, as well as providing them with a few laughs. This class helped me prepare for student teach- ing, Penny Mitchell said. I had a better idea of what to expect and how to handle various behavior problems. Lessons were videotaped to give the students an idea of how they were doing. It also allowed them to see what went on behind their backs. ' ' The videotape gave me real contact with some situ- ations, Jim Tkrwater said. I noticed that I was really animated and energetic when 1 taught. At the end of the course, students anxiously awaited their professional semester when they would begin their student teaching with the experiences of secondary methods and techniques behind them. Though they may not have been ready for all that lay ahead of them, they knew how to break up pen fights, cease spitwad wars and handle other minor catastrophes that came with the territory. by Allison Edwards 92 Practice Teaching ' Joe Chamberlain, graduate assistant, observes the class as students teach their les- sons.

The adult class had con- tinued for nearly nine years. Because of high enrollment Dyche ' s daughter, Melissa, taught a few of the classes for him. Adults taking the course paid the same fee as students. The adult students were really a joy to teach, Lewis Dyche said. Some of them were handicapped and that was the only form of exercise they got. Students had various rea- sons for taking the class. Gary Marrs had the pleasur- ble experience of being one of two males in a class of 19. Classmates suspected he enrolled for only one rea- son: women in bathing suits. Of course, Marrs insisted that was not the case. I took it because I was getting fat, Marrs said. At first I was really uncomfortable in there with 17 girls and only one other guy. The purpose of the course was for students to learn water exercises and the benefits of performing them. There were several types of exercises involved, each Shanna Gade windmills her arms to strengttien muscles as part of her water fitness class.

Class members stretched to warm up and cool down, jogged in the pool to boost cardiovascular endurance and toned along the wall to build muscles. At the beginning of the semester, students measured their chests, waists, hips, thighs, ankles and calves. At the end of the semester, measurements were retaken. We found that while most did not lose weight unless they were dieting, everyone lost a few inches, Lewis Dyche said. Students weren ' t bragging to peers about lost inches but were raving about the fun they had in class. One of my favorite exer- cises was one where we jogged around in a circle and then reversed directions, ' ' Cindy Pott said. She took water exercise to learn how to teach it. Be- cause of her background as a lifeguard. Pott had been asked several times to teach a similar class. Although having fun was an incentive to take the class, most agreed that the real reason they signed up was primarily for the exercise. Well, maybe everyone wasn ' t in it for the exercise. Students not enrolled in the class said they hoped it would continue to be offered in future years. Those in- terested in losing a few inches were urged to sign up for the course. Janet Apprill said water aerobics was the first thing she would look for the next time regis- tration rolled around. by Stacy DeLong 94 Water Aerobics Lee Moeller moves with the music during his weekly water aerobics class at the Robert P.

Wood furnishings filled the office of the associate professor in curriculum and instructing. There were photo-lined shelves, a coat rack and plenty of chairs for guests. Pictures of Bush ' s family and students covered the walls and several brass lamps softly lit the room. With that office as a base, Bush headed up programs for small as well as big kids. She had been involved with the organization of the freshman orientation program for four years, two as director and one as chairman. It was a delightful experience, Bush said. But it was time for someone else to have the job. I needed the extra time here at my office and with my teaching. Bush was born in Graham, a small town about nine miles south of Maryville, and raised in St. Joseph. After graduating from Central High she attended St. Joseph Junior College for one year. Bush then came to Northwest, where she met her future husband. Bob, who was student teaching at the time. They met dur- ing her sophomore year and were married three days after she graduated. Although Bush obtained her undergraduate degree in elementary education, she said her first major choice had been interior decorating. However, while walking across campus to attend classes in the Administration Building, she found herself slowing down to watch the children playing in the courtyard. Everyday I would stay a little bit longer, Bush said. Soon 1 began leaving for class 10 minutes early so I could watch them. Finally it dawned on her that she should change her major to teaching. Bush was very proud of her children, two boys and a girl, who were all grown and married. The same spark- ling enthusiasm she felt for her kids shone through when she spoke of her students. Early in her career. Bush had taught first through Dr. Betty Bush finds serenity in the sunroom of her new Vic- torian style home. Photo hy Dean Carlson sixth grades. Later on, when she was offered a job at the college level, she was hesitant. But when she realized that the job she was being offered would place her at the elementary school her children attended, she took the job immediately. This was an ideal situation for Bush because she was near- by if her children needed her and was able to have lunch with them while working a full-time job. There was something stimulating about watching young adults learn, Bush said. The high point of my day was when a student came to talk to me. It gave me the juice to keep up with everything else. Not only did Bush encourage visitors in her office, she also welcomed them into her home. A lot of students called our house home, she said. Some came to get away for an hour and some who lived away from home came for the weekend. We loved to entertain. According to peer adviser Lisa Carstenson, who worked with Bush during freshman orientation, she and fellow advisers couldn ' t imagine working with anyone more organized and efficient than Bush. She made us feel appreciated, Carstenson said. She had a party for us at her house to thank us. With entertaining in mind, the Bushes had built their new Victorian style home with many large rooms. In ad- dition to entertaining. Bush also enjoyed gardening, reading, oil painting in her sunroom, skiing and hang gliding. I loved skiing because it was the closest I got to na- ture, she said. When I was on top of the slopes and it was snowing, it was so quiet and beautiful. Bush ' s hopes for the future were simple. She dreamed of the day when she would have grandchildren. She was also anxious to see the University reach its full poten- tial and wanted to be a part of its growth and development. There has not been one morning when 1 dreaded to come mto work, Bush said. That ' s special. I hope that in 20 years I am doing exactly what I am doing today. ' ' Bush sat back in her chair, put her hand to her face in a characteristic gesture and smiled as she contem- plated all that had been said. She was at home here, and she helped visitors feel the same. by Amy Collins Betty Bush 97 .v. aking Flight Flying first class to earn wings 1 icture a gorgeous, sun- drenched day with not a floud in the sky and all the hope and promise of adven- ture. While most students would be debating whether or not to attend class, six avi- ation students hurried to the airport. Since the 1940s, Northwest had offered three aviation courses through which stu- dents could earn their pilot ' s license. Each class was designed to prepare them for passing a specific section of the required Federal Aer- onautics Association exam. The first course taken was FAA ground school with flight. This class provided students with the 35 hours of ground school needed to qualify for the exam and helped students pass the written portion of the test. Ground scho6l taught stu- dents a variety of things they needed to know to be able to operate an airplane. The course familiarized students with the aircraft ' s electronic system and consisted of information about navigational aids, auto pilot, commu- nications and weather. The visual omni range, a direc- tional radio beacon that measured an object ' s distance and angle, helped them utilize navigational aids. Students also learned about aircraft systems and map reading. Another important part of the course was learning how to read weather charts from the National Weather Bureau. Private Pilot Completion was the final step to obtain- ing an FAA license. This course specialized in flight training and completed the exams ' flight requirements. Commerciaiyinstrument ground school with flight was an additional class required for those who sought a com- mercial pilot ' s license. Ten hours of flight time was in- cluded in this course. As he prepares for a take-off, Craig Parmelee scans his gauges. 7b help insure a safe flight, the plane was in- spected by student and instructor before flight. Photo by Janet Boyd Though aviation classes were electives, they were helpful to students in pursuit of certain careers. Aviation student Marcie Giarrizzo planned to join the Peace Corps. I felt becoming a licensed pilot would add to my qualifi- cations, Giarrizzo said. It would be a definite plus. Six students were enrolled in the first of the three courses. Instructor Dr. Bruce Parmelee attributed the low enrollment to unawareness of the program. Another factor that may have attributed to low enroll- ment was the cost of the course. Students paid ap- proximately $500 for flight time, ground school and books. Several years ago ev- ery credit hour a student took over the initial 15 could be taken free of charge. Therefore, many students in the past had taken the course without paying tuition. Relatively speaking most students didn ' t have the bucks to play with, ' ' Parmelee said. However, when compared to the thousands of dollars it took to earn a pilot ' s license at other institutions, $500 seemed like a steal. Although cost kept many students from taking the class, the intrigue of learning to fly was inspiration enough to keep students trickling in. ' A friend of mine told me about the course and I was curious about it, Phillip Lucido said. It was not as hard as it looked to keep the plane up, but it took prac- tice to make perfect turns. Curiosity had led a small group to Parmelee ' s aviation courses, but experience would take them to new horizons. by Allison Edwards 2 98 Aviation Class Taking the necessary precau- tions, Craig Parmelee checlcs the engine before liis fliglit lesson at Ranlcin Airport.

According to instructor Dr. Doug Butler, the cur- riculum was divided into three parts. The first part dealt with training a horse for stock- work, such as herding cat- tle or sheep. The object was to train a horse to work well with people and behave around other animals. Butler took the students to an arena and demon- strated how to break a horse, which was the first step in training. Butler also taught students safe- ty precautions, grooming techiuques, restraint meth- ods and trailer loading procedures. My favorite part of the class was going out to the arena and getting hands- on experience, Dave De- Lancey said. It was also a lot of fun to hear stories from people in the class about funny things that had happened to them concerning horses. During the second section of the course, students learned what to look for when purchasing a horse. Questions to be taken into consideration included age, size, breeding and intended use for the animal. Throughout the remaining portion of the class, Bu- tler discussed the uses of basic kinds of equipment, such as bits and saddles. The class objective was to study and appreciate the many facets of horsemanship. Students were required to identify horse training equipment and techniques. In order to achieve a precise fit, Instructor Doug Butler shows Angie Thompson the correct placement of the horseshoe. Hands-on experience gave students a chance to gain confi- dence in r ie art of horsemanship. Photo by Brandon Russell This was taught by lecture and working with the horses. Due to University regulations, it was pre- ferred that students did not actually ride horses. I taught them the bas- ic things they needed to know to ride and train a horse, Butler said. It would have been nice if the students had each had a horse of their own. Then they could have ridden along with me. The University did not provide horses for those enrolled in the class be- cause of liability problems with insuring the riders. Students were told they could assist in demonstra- tions with their own horses and equipment, af- ter being warned that the University would not be held responsible for any accidents. Althougli a few students owned horses of their own, they were from out of state and the combined cost of transporting the animal here and then shel- tering it would have been too high. 1 took the class because I planned to work with horses when I graduated, rodeo rider Brad Eaton said. I liked the class even though we didn ' t do any riding. Of the four students in the class, only one didn ' t have any background with horses. I took the class because I had always liked horses but had never worked with them, Tabatha Trammel said. The class was a good place to start. The students managed to mix in just enough fun with their lessons to make up for not riding. And, they didn ' t have to wear masks or yell Hi ho Silver! to do it. by Stacy DeLong Basic Horsemanship 101 t r Dr. Jim Smeltzer worked as a member of NASA in the his- toric Voyager 2 project. Smeltzer ' s other interests included jogging and racquetball. Photo by Stephanie Frey Jim Smeltzer Astronomy professor delves into mysteries of space lanets. Space. Stars. When Dr. Jim Smeltzer, professor of astronomy and physics taught about the mys- teries of space, he drew his lectures from more than just textbooks. Working as a member of the media for the St. Joseph Gazette newspaper, Smelt- zer teamed up with the National Aeronautic and Space Adminstration at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasedena, Calif., to observe and gather knowledge on the Voyager 2 space flight. The Voyager 2 project began in the 1970s and was designed to gather information about some of the planets in the further reaches of the solar system. With only a small-sized 32K memory-, the Voyager 2 performed remarkably well for the ' 70s style of technology. Science benefitted from the information gathered by the Voyager project, Smelt- zer said. Voyager 2 was launched at the same time the first one was encountering Jupiter and Saturn. The combination of the two spacecraft allowed greater flexibUty in the ordinates. Smeltzer also saw the launching of Voyager 1 at the Kennedy Space Center in 1977 and made numerous trips to JPL and NASA to observe the progress of the Voyager excursions. Hands-on training and contact with the real world of space exploration helped Smeltzer with the instruction of his courses. There were new materials available to look at as well as the opportunity to make contact with new people, Smeltzer said. I had some of the scientists and other professors call in and give telephone lectures to the class. Students felt Smeltzer ' s classes were far more interesting as a result of his first- hand experience with NASA and JPL. Dr Smeltzer helped us get a better understanding of our solar system and the space frontier, Kris Barker said. He presented us with a lot of up-to-date material and advancements. Although Smeltzer, the father of three, was busy with classes and trips, he still found time to enjoy some of his favorite pastimes, one of which was fitness. I liked running and playing racquetball, Smeltzer said. I ran some races every now and then and liked to lift weights to stay in shape. Smeltzer also competed in occasional racquetball tournaments around the area, as well as took an interest in backyard vegetable gardening. This was an interest which he picked up from his father I eryoyed vegetable gardening, which went back to my younger years, Smeltzer said. My dad grew vegetables and I occasionally got a plant and seeds from him for my own garden. ' ' As for the future of space exploration and travel, Smeltzer felt the projects of NASA and JPL would continue to grow since more than 200 space missions had been planned. I intended to keep myself informed on planetary exploration, Smeltzer said. There was to be a lot of activity for the next couple of decades and there was no reason for anyone involved in teaching not to stay informed. They were obligated to do so. As for the teaching of astronomy, Smeltzer planned to continue doing what he had done for years — educate about the unknow n mysteries and questions of space. by Dale Brown Jim Smeltzer 103 Don and Marjean Ehlers Becoming Whole Persons Campus ministers take sharing seriously hile working half-time positions as cam- pu lnM rs of the Wesley Center, counselors for Mary- villf F ily Medicine Surgery Associates and par- ents to four children, Don and Marjean Ehlers strived to help others become whole persons. Sharing all aspects of their hves had been the cou- ple ' s goal since they began dating in the early ' 70s. While Marjean attended Northwest and Don attended Iowa State, they made a commitment to share family duties as well as a meaningful career After they were married and working toward their master ' s degrees in counseling, Don and Marjean worked as staff members of the Wesley Foundation at the University of Northern Iowa for five years. Once they finished their degrees, they began looking for another job. They heard about the opening at North- west ' s Wesley Center, but had little hope because they were the only applicants who weren ' t ordained elders. The board of directors, however, felt the Ehlers ' cam- pus ministry experience and counseling credentials was a combination they couldn ' t pass up. During their nine years as campus ministers in Maryville, Don and Marjean found it more difficult to maintain half-time positions because they became more involved with the students and the community. But they implemented Wesley ' s theme, Becoming Whole Per- sons, to help students and clients of their counseling practice. Physicians at the Family Medicine Surgery Associates ' Clinic referred patients to the Ehlers for help in dealing with medical and other problems. Commitment to their family was Don and Marjean ' s most time-consuming job. They divided duties, from babysitting to staying home with their sick children. Don said his job as co-head teacher with Marjean at a daycare center helped him identify an important need that he centered around his family life. My job experience at a daycare, as well as my own needs, convinced me that I wanted to be with my chil- dren as much as they were with their mother, Don said. I didn ' t want to be an absent father. Don and Marjean said none of their children had ever asked for one of them over the other When their ol- dest son Justus was 2 years old, he fell down and hurt himself while staying out of town with relatives. He cried, I want my mom-dad. They ' ve grown up not knowing which one of us would be there, but knowing that one or both would, Marjean said. Society was so geared to women doing things that it wouldn ' t know what to do with a compe- tent father. The Ehlers felt their sons, who were ages 11, 8 and 5, and eventually their 4-month-old daughter, benefit- ed from being around college students both at Horace Mann where they attended school and at Wesley. Don and Marjean ' s roles were interchangeable except for music. Don wrote, played, sang and led songs dur- ing Midweek Worship and other Wesley activities. He made music a high priority in his life, and because he wrote many of the songs he performed, he felt it was an effective way of communicating. He progressed with his music career in the mid ' 70s when he pursued a dream to entertain in nightclubs. After performing for one year he was ready to move on. He had become known as a musician over the years. For several weeks during summers he worked as a music consultant at camps for children with cancer Don ' s career hit a high point last year while he was casually playing at a retreat in Kansas City and a finan- cial investor offered to help him make an album. Don wrote and sang all the songs as well as provided the gui- tar backup. The album was projected to be out in De- cember, after which Don would take it to Nashville in hopes of selUng the finished product to a major record- ing company. Although Don ' s music could be classified as Christi- an, Marjean said it had an unusual twist that could make it marketable in other segments. She said his songs talked about life as a journey, and faith was a part of that. He played a role of a mother, father or sick child and made it into a song, Pam Snead said. He had a way with words that comforted people. With their counseling experience, Don and Marjean shared the goal of comforting people by helping them deal with issues that kept them from becoming whole persons. Even though they split their responsibilities 50 50, they set a perfect example of being whole per- sons because they gave 100 percent. Marjean and Don Ehlers anticipate the release of his first al- bum, which he hopes to sell to a Nashville record company.

K-LX A i f e-ULe.r SY: acjG: Bring ing real-life experience to characters they play T P ■ ' ith blue eyes sparkling, Dr. Patricia Schultz enthusiastically described her portrayal of the Swed- ish Nightengale Jenny Lind. Her husband, Dr Charles Schultz, who played P.T. Barnum in their production of Encore for Jenny Lind, sat next to her, equally enthusiastic. Patricia, assistant professor of voice, wrote the play about Lind, who was considered a great phenomenon all over Europe in the mid 1800s. Charles, associate professor of theater, portrayed the famed circus man, P.T. Barnum, who brought Lind to the United States. Jenny Lind was the perfect role for Patricia, since she and Lind were both coloraturas, the highest of sopranos. Charles was equally well suited for his role as Barnum, who was an actor and great showman. Be- cause of Charles ' passion for history and acting, the role seemed a natural one. ' Jenny Lind ' had a little of everything: comedy, sing- ing, delightful music and historical value, Charles said. Because of the diversity of the production, it had the potential to appeal to several kinds of audiences. And, to the Schultzes ' delight, it appealed to the Missouri Arts Council. Each year the Council selected a number of quality visual and performing arts organizations and individual artists to participate in the Missouri Arts pro- gram, and for the 1989-90 season the council booked Jenny Lind. The Schultzes loved to perform and the council guaranteed them a certain price and increased their credibility. We were put in the same class as the Kansas City Lyric Opera, the St. Louis Symphony, the Kansas City Symphony and the St. Louis Brass Quartet, Patricia said. There weren ' t too many smaller acts billed, so it really was quite a thrill to be selected. Besides activities surrounding the play, the Schultzes devoted time to improving Northwest. Charles chaired a planning committee for the Mary Linn Per- forming Arts Center after the Frank Deerwester Theat- er burned in 1979. Patricia devoted much of her spare time to helping students make the most of their abilities. Many of them had a lot of ability, she said. But unless they really worked at making the most of what they had, they wouldn ' t make progress. Charles enjoyed pooling his intelligence with that of the students. They had their own initial intelligence when they came into my classes, he said. If they took advantage of my intelligence, that meant they were going to be twice as smart as I was. The Schultzes met at the Huron Theater in Ohio dur- ing the production of Bye Bye Birdie. I was determined to marry that gal, Charles laughed, shaking a finger in Patricia ' s direction. She didn ' t know it, but I certainly was. Following those eight weeks together at the summer playhouse they returned to separate universities to fin- ish college. Aft er writing every day and vacationing together, they married the next summer The Schultzes ' three children were one of the top pri- orities in their lives. Sons Tbdd and Vaughn and daugh- ter Cinnamon were also active in acting and music. ' ' If our children were in something, we tried very hard to get there and see it, Patricia said. If one of us had to miss it then the other was there. Not only did the Schultzes ' passion for acting bring Lind ' s legacy to present day with Encore for Jenny Lind, but it had the Missouri Arts Council and au- diences of varying types saying, Encore for Charles and Patricia Schultz. Drs. Charles and Patricia Schultz portray P.T. Barnum and Jen- ny Lind in Encore for Jenny Lind. The husband and wife team combined musical and theatrical talents to design the play.

FcBmajW, the tough corporate world was ahead. Others d M u to continue their education in graduate school and some returned to Northwest to give something back to their alma mater Assistant Professor of Physical Education Dr Jim Redd was one such person. Redd graduated from North- west in January 1966 with a major in P.E. and a minor in social studies. During his college days he competed three years in football, served as co-captain of the team and played basketball one year. In addition to his athletic involve- ment, Redd was a member of Phi Sigma Epsilon and be- came president of the organization during his senior year. He also served as a head resident assistant in the Men ' s Residence Hall. After leaving Maryville he went to graduate school at the University of Colorado in Boulder, where he taught, coached and took classes. Meanwhile, a position had opened at Northwest in the Physical Education Department. For Redd, the position fit all his dream job require- ments: teaching and coaching at a medium-sized school. However, the size of the school wasn ' t the only thing that made Redd want to come back. He said he felt a force pulling him in that direction. My love for the institution and a feel for the place created because of the people made me want to return, ' ' Redd said. According to Redd, the main difference between be- ing a student and being a faculty member was the con- trast in roles. ' As a faculty member 1 was not living on campus, so I became more involved in the community, Redd said. Redd was the father of three: Renee, 19; Paula, 17; and Matthew, 12. In addition to his involvement with Northwest, he served on the Maryville School Board and coached Little League baseball and soccer Dr Peggy Miller, associate professor in the Home Eco- nomics Department, also jumped at the opportunity to return to Northwest. As a student, Miller worked toward a degree in home economics and psychology. She was a member of the Student National Education Association, and during her senior year, served as a Bearer of the Greens in a tradi- tional Christmas ceremony honoring seniors. After graduating from Northwest in 1969, Miller set off to teach junior high school in Illinois. By chance. Miller heard about the possibility of work- ing at Northwest in the Home Economics Department. It was the most exciting thing that ever happened to me, Miller said. After returning. Miller said she still felt like a student for a while. It took some time for her to adapt to work- ing as an equal with those who had taught her. Miller did adapt, though, and decided to stay at Northwest. Northwest was a like a hidden treasure, Miller said. Students were far more than a number here. We knew them by name. Associate Professor of Art Phil Laber set career goals in his early college years. He wanted to pursue a career that combined photography, printing and drawing and planned to acquire his Master of Fine Arts degree. When he left Northwest in 1973 with a major in art and a second emphasis in photography, he never expect- ed to see the campus again. But three years later, while working towards his Master of Fine Arts degree, oppor- tunity knocked. 1 found out that a position in photography and draw- ing had opened up at Northwest, Laber said. I figured if 1 got the job 1 would have one year of experience to put on my record and could always go back to graduate school. As it turned out, Laber got the job, returned in the fall of 1976 and had spent the last 13 years here. No matter what a student did after graduation, a part of his soul always wandered the campus of his alma mater. In the case of Redd, Miller, Laber and many others, returning to life at Northwest was an opportu- nity they could not pass up. Returning to Northwest, Phil Laber, Dr. Jim Redd and Dr. Peggy Miller teach at their alma mater Laber graduated in 1973, Redd in 1966 and Miller in 1969.

Desmion stood straight, poised gracefully, as she offered me a polite yet sincere welcome. There was a splash of humor in her tone and the smUe in her eyes told me she was not as serious as she seemed. He cracked a joke; she offered me a seat. Bill Dizney was the director of Student S ervices at Northwest and Dr Desmion Dizney directed Student Health Services. Bill ' s bright yellow bow tie fought with his wiry gray hair for attention. She was composed and spoke with a distinct accent. Her silk blouse and long skirt com- plemented her elegant figure. He lit up a cigarette. As their faces wrinkled in smiles, both Dizneys ap- peared much older than they really were. Both loved their jobs on campus and worked hard to take care of the students. In December, they were gone. Bill and Desmion Dizney were married in 1956. They met in Chikore, Africa, where Bill had started a secon- dary school and Desmion filled in for a doctor at the local hospital. And of all places, we met on a termis court, Bill said. He grinned as his phone rang and added, And all types of bells rang! Desmion matter-of-factly said that Bill was the only eUgible bachelor for miles around. ' My only other choice was a drunken postmaster, ' she said. Nine months later they were married in a small stone church on the edge of a rainforest. They invited their staffs, which included both Africans and Europeans. It was the first integrated wedding in that part of the country, Bill stated proudly. They lived in Africa for five years and later in Zimoa, Kenya and Turkey. Bill worked in higher education and administration while Desmion worked as a physician. In 1980 they moved to the United States because their two daughters wanted to attend school in the States. The adjustment was difficult for Desmion because she had always lived in South Africa. She missed the beau- ty of the sandy beaches, snow-covered mountains and tropical climate of her native home. Striking pieces of art, like this African painting by Desmion Dizney ' s sister and Samoan tablecloth filled Bill and Desmi- on ' s home. Photo by Dean Carlson At Northwest , Desmion had initiated the AIDS Tksk Force and also worked with Dr Mindy Brooks to obtain a federal grant to start the CARE program to help stu- dents deal with chemical abuse and related problems. Bill adjusted easily to the move from Africa because he had grown up in the States and Uved in towns of all sizes. His family had moved from place to place because his father worked in sales. Bill originally wanted to be a lawyer. In fact, my best friend in high school and myself had this all planned out, he said. But he was killed in war and that ended that. Then I didn ' t really know where 1 was going. After World War II, Bill was vacationing in Kentucky where he had attended college when a faculty mem- ber died unexpectedly. They asked Bill to fill in until the end of the year After a few weeks, they offered him a contract and his teaching career was launched. As student services director. Bill oversaw the Inter- Fraternity Council, the International Students Organi- zation, Harambee, Student Senate, Panhellenic, Dis- cipline and several other committees. Bill was the greatest, IFC President Juan Rangel said. His number one thing was the students. He real- ly cared. Many of those who worked directly with the Dizneys described them as the perfect bosses: challenging, flexible and supportive. There was a lot of stress in this office, but Bill was always cheerful, secretary Mary Fleming said. That made it a great atmosphere to work in. ' Desmion ' s co-workers had similar feelings about her Her style of management created a closenes for the staff, Mary Strong, nurse coordinator of student health, said. We were a unit, a team. Bill and Desmion, who moved to Dallas, Tfexas, agreed that what they would miss most about Northwest was the kids. With a sigh Desmion added that what she would miss the least was the cold winters. Bill planned to keep on working after the move, perhaps with inpatient AIDS victims or teaching English. I couldn ' t sit home, he exclaimed. No way. Those who knew the Dizneys felt they had left behind an unfillable void. Indeed, Bill ' s kind and cantanker- ous personality and Desmion ' s elegant style would be tough acts to follow. By Jill Erickson Bill and Desmion Dizney 111 Northwest Characters Uniquely Northwest Interesting staff members add spice to campus life hey could be found in almost any setting. The uni| e; those that possessed characteristics separating th j afrom the ordinary. Northwest was no exception to the rule, and within the confines of the University numerous examples of this type of person could be found. However, three were especially noteworthy. They all possessed qualities which made them stand out and add flavor to an al- ready colorful environment. One such individual was Mary Jane Merriett, house- keeper at Perrin Residence Hall. Merriett had worked at Northwest since 1968 and throughout many years she never seemed to tire of her duties. I looked forward to coming to work every day, Mer- riett said. The busier I was the better I liked it! While at Northwest, Merriett ' s personality made her popular with everyone she came in contact with. All of the girls seemed to really like her, Hall Direc- tor Barb Janssen said. I can ' t remember ever having a complaint about her. After more than 20 years at the University, Merriett was still going strong, attacking her duties with the same enthusiasm she did when she first arrived. She went above and beyond the call of duty, Val Behrens said. Most of the time she came in early and left late. She always had time to talk to anyone that wanted to talk. Despite her popularity Merriett remained humble. Perrin was a great place because of the students, she said. I gave them 99 percent of the credit. Second was Jill Hogue, director of Campus Safety. Holding this position was quite a unique distinction in itself, but being a woman made it doubly unique. Hogue began a path toward a career in law enforce- ment by entering the military after high school, where she remained for three years. Her last military assign- ment landed her in Germany. After leaving the military, Hogue returned to the states to attend college at Northwest and earned a degree in personnel. Not long after her schooling was completed she was offered a position on Campus Safe- ty. Being a woman in this vocation seemed to have both advantages and disadvantages. Often people would be less violent or resistant with me than they would with male officers, Hogue said. On the other hand, people were less likely to accept me as a figure of authority than they would a man. Hogue viewed her job as a never-ending responsibility. I couldn ' t just go home and stay after 6 p.m., she said. If I was needed I had to answer the call no mat- ter when it came in. Despite the demanding quality of the position, Hogue seemed to enjoy the work overall. There were times when you just wanted to leave everything behind, she said. But most of the time I found the job very rewarding. ' ' UnUke the other two individuals, Ron Heller, super- visor of the campus warehouse, was not set apart be- cause of his job. He devoted time after hours to an ex- traordinary collection of 78 rpm record albums. Heller estimated that his collection contained be- tween 17,000 and 20,000 records. An entire room of his basement was devoted to housing the library of albums he had carefully organized into chronological order from 1925 to 1942. I wasn ' t only interested in the collecting, I was in- terested in the research part of it, too, Heller said. Heller also made cassette tapes of the old records and recorded the top hits of each month of each year There was a lot of time involved in this hobby, but I really enjoyed it, Heller said. I will probably collect records for the rest of my life. When the 78s get hard to find I ' ll start collecting the 45s. All too often, members of society became so wrapped up in fitting in that they forgot to be themselves. For- tunately, there were those like Merriett, Hogue and Heller, who ignored what everyone else did in favor of letting their individuality shine. Besides making their own Uves interesting, these people made things interest- ing for those around them. by Steve Rhodes 112 Northwest Characters .1 Award-winning hobliyist Ron Hellor sits in one of the rooms which houses part of his 17,t)()() pre-World War II rec- ord collection.

Five years aJLhe became president of Northwest and since that time, campus had been in a constant state of change. He fooled me, Public Relations Officer Bob Henry said. Owens was more outwardly aggressive, and when Hubbard came in he was so low-key I thought he would be more deliberate in initiating change. Deliberate maybe, but not slow. According to Henry, Hubbard hit the floor running and it wasn ' t long until Northwest began seeing signs of a vigorous presidency. He was an avid reader who was current on all higher education literature, Heni ' y said. He implemented change based on research, as opposed to instinct. Change was something the community came to expect from the Hubbard administration. One thing that had attracted Hubbard to the school initially was its medi- um size, which he felt helped ease the pain and speed the process of change. What must we do in order to remain significant as an educational facility? This was the question Hubbard asked during his inaugural speech and continued to ask over the years as he rallied for changes at Northwest. I considered anything that had to do with the fu- ture of the nation and applied its meaning to educa- tion, Hubbard said. One of the first things accomplished after Hubbard took office was the consolidation of seven colleges into four, which resulted in the reallocation of $1.5 million away from administration to instruction. The Culture of Quality, a plan for improving under- graduate education at Northwest, was perhaps Hub- bard ' s most controversial program. The lengthening of the semester was one of its first components noticea- ble to the student body. Also included in the Culture document were provisions for assessment, additional re- quirements for general education courses, emphasis on the development of writing skills, incorporation of ad- vanced standing requirements and the inclusion of a senior thesis or project in order to graduate. The program drew a considerable amount of favor- able attention to Northwest, and if imitation was the sincerest form of flattery, Hubbard had cause to be proud. One president came right up and told me, ' We took your Culture of Quality program, ' Hubbard said. Although the changes he initiated were commend- able, he claimed none of them were revolutionary. The Electronic Campus was another part of the Cul- ture of Quality program that helped put Northwest on the map. According to Hubbard, making this dream a reality was a task that required a hard sell in Jeffer- son City. Naturally, there were those who were opposed to such a costly plan, but he found many supporters in the capital city who wanted their state to have the first computerized public school in the nation. The Electronic Campus became a reality in fall 1987. Enrollment skyrocketed after campus was computer- ized, and if user rates were any indication, students were happy to have terminals in their rooms. Overall, students seemed pleased with other changes Hubbard had made as well, although an occasional moan about the length of the semester could still be heard. I got really burned out at the end of a long semester, Basil Lister said. But overall, I thought the changes he made were good. Hubbard ' s administration had its lows along with its highs. In 1988, Northwest faculty voiced concerns of no confidence in their president, a situation which had grown out of a question over tenure in administra- tive offices. Despite the no confidence vote in the spring, plus campus racial problems and a recommendation by Coor- dinating Board for Higher Education Commissioner Shaila Aery in the fall that Northwest be closed down, things were running smoothly as Hubbard entered his fifth year as president. Henry felt that faculty morale had never been higher and Hubbard agreed, saying he thought everyone had learned and grown closer as a result of the difficult sit- uations in the past several years. During his five years at Northwest, Hubbard had seen some very good times and some very bad times. Yet, in retrospect, he felt his most distressing problem had been trying to bring faculty salaries up to national standards. It was also touching to note that in the midst of all of his accomplishments, he still considered the most gratifying part of his job to be watching students grow. by Suzie Zech 114 President r Hubbard tinkers with lus most faithful traveling com- panion, a lap-top computer.

Administrators ' wives share their husbands with the University ■ley were each unique in manner and appearance, ha Big their own interests, professions and stories. But thJLhad all come to Maryville for the same reason. They were the wives of Northwest administrators. The newest member of this group was Gail Culbert- son, whose husband, Robert, recently became vice president for academic affairs. While adjusting to Ufe in Maryvill, her main concern was the education avail- able for her children: Katie, 17, and Daniel, 12. The emphasis Maryville schools put on quality was very important and was a major factor in his interest in the position, she said. She also took an interest in her husband ' s work. By typing and helping collect research and data she tried to understand her husband ' s job as well as decrease the amount of paperwork for him. However, she said she didn ' t give advice about business matters. Although working with her husband allowed a little time together, his demanding schedule infringed on their famUy time. An evening out usuaOy meant attend- ing a campus function, such as a play or dinner. Taking all this into consideration, Gail was content with the way thins were going for her family. I just wanted him to be happy in what he was doing and for the children to enjoy where they were, she said. That affected me a great deal. Ten years ago, Barbara Gose, wife of Vice President for Finance Warren Gose, had to adjust to her hus- band ' s busy schedule, but said it just became routine. I worked 40 hours a week as a pharmacist, she said. But we had a lot of activities outside of work. Although they specialized in different areas, they used their talents to work together. She was part of a medical team for the church in which he served as pas- tor for five years and then became a deacon. She also belonged to Innerwheel, the women ' s division of the Rotary in which he was treasurer, and the American Association of University Women. On the few occasions when they had spare time, the Goses enjoyed traveling. Together they traveled to several states and often ventured to Jefferson City and Omaha with their youngest son, Chris, to visit their other two children, Peter and Amy. After 20 years, the Henry ' s also seemed happy liv- ing in Maryville. A sixth grade teacher, Carolyn Henry said she had no trouble finding a job when her husband, Robert, was hired as chief public relations officer. In spring 88, Robert ' s responsibilities grew when he aquired vice presidential duties due to the resignation of Vice President John Mees. Having to contend with two full schedules, they started their day at about 4:30 a.m. Though each had their own profession, they managed to be there for each other a support each other ' s careers. With little spare time, this sometimes meant just listening to a footbaO game or to the other ' s account of the day. However, having raised three children, Ann, 28; Mark, 22: and Kirk, 20; they were used to being pulled in every direction. When the kids were in high school we both always made it to all their activities, Carolyn said. 1 think there was something every night. Drs. Betty and Robert Bush came to Maryville 21 years ago from Washington, D.C., where he worked in public relations for NASA and she was a substitute teacher. Having three small children, Gregory, Jeffrey and Tracy, they left that area to come to Northwest. Hired as a teacher, he soon was promoted to admis- sions, then became an assistant to the president and fi- nally vice president for applied research. After raising her family, she taught elementary school and then be- came associate professor for curriculum and instruction at Horace Mann. Along with University projects, she and her husband kept busy with community projects, such as reycling and the development of alternative crops. Their home hobbies included woodworking and painting. Though most of their time was filled, there were short intervals when they could share time together. It was an interesting juggling act, she said. We tried to make quality time out of the time we had. Such time was spent at home, attending campus ac- tivities or with their children. Though not often, the whole family met for holidays and occasional vacations. While concerned with their husbands ' careers, each of these women had her own interests and goals. They balanced work, family and outside activities and seemed to enjoy their busy lifestyles. by Kristi Madison Administrators ' Wives 117 Secretary Gwen Vawter dis- cusses a file with the Dean of the College of Arts and Hu- manities Robert Sunkel.

Photo by Brandon Russell 118 Deans Deans I Keeping In Touch Deans and faculty strive for openness within their colleges IT A T hen accepting a position as a college dean, akv Juld have had some idea of the abundance of v rk d the extremely hectic scheduling that they would immediately be faced with. The position was a huge responsibility, and with each dean overseeing his particular college, the work never seemed to end. However, the deans have found that it was not a job that had to be done alone. In between putting a dent in the mass of paper work, attending numerous meet- ings and keeping on top of activities in their depart- ments, time for faculty relations was allotted to ensure the college was at its best. Dean of the College of Education, Dr Joseph Ryan, viewed his position as an opportunity to be a spokes- man for the faculty. He said that his door was always open for faculty members who wished to air their opinions. They visited with me in my office and I visited them in their offices, ' Ryan said. 1 think we had a two-way communication channel. Ryan said that working with students was also some- thing he greatly valued. ' ' The whole reason we were here was for the students, to make them better teachers, Ryan said. He thought it was unfortunate that he didn ' t see the students much and viewed that as the biggest drawback of his job. When 1 moved up in the administration I became fur- ther removed and more alienated, Ryan said. I sim- ply didn ' t have time. Ryan thought faculty, students and administrators worked hard and time was a big factor in determining the type of relationship he had with each member In hopes of bringing his faculty together in working towards improving the College of Agriculture, Science and Technology ' , Dr. Gerald Brown and his faculty formed a goals committee. The group was comprised of the department chairs and Brown, and they worked on devising a list of approximately 4U goals that covered all aspects of the college. Brown said that he was concerned with preparing the college for the changes the future necessitated. He said that he hoped the committee improved relations be- tween him and faculty members. Some saw me as an authority figure and were very cautious of our relationship, Brown said. Working with faculty on assisting grants and on the committee gave me an opportunity to learn more about them as individuals. For Robert Sunkel, dean of the Colleg e of Arts and Humanities, being a tenured faculty member helped him tremendously in his relationship with faculty. Sunkel said he had known many of his co-workers since he firet started to work at the University. Sunkel admitted that it wasn ' t as easy keeping in touch with the faculty as it used to be. Particularly with the number of faculty, it was just a matter of time, Sunkel said. I used to get to know them faster until the paper work increased. Sunkel enjoyed teaching the most and taught a class every semester Other than his classes he didn ' t see much of the students, which he regretted. However, he did get a chance to know some of them pretty well out- side of class. I worked a great deal at night and that ' s when a lot of the art and music students worked, Sunkel said. I saw them in the halls and around the building and whenever they needed papers signed. Lack of time was also a big factor with Dr. Ron De- Voung, dean of the College of Business, Government and Computer Science. However, De Young didn ' t view his job as work at all. 1 get up in the morning and I don ' t go to work — 1 go to school, DeYoung said. DeYoung said that in order to mamtain strong relation- ships he invited each member of the faculty to his house at least once a year. He also enjoyed doing various ac- tivities with them, such as playing tennis and going fishing. According to DeYoung, his faculty members made his position as dean go much easier. Various faculty members are extremely expertised in their specific area, DeYoung said. Necessarily, much more so than 1 might be. DeYoung claimed that this fact not only made his job easier, but contributed a lot to the department. Though a dean ' s duties may have seemed endless, good faculty relations helped these particular four con- quer the problems and better their colleges for the benefit of the students. by Allison Edwards Deans 119 Of) f i J ith improvements on and off the field, we made big impres- sions.

Previous season key players Kelly Leintz, the MIAA No. 1 singles champion, and Amy An- dersen, the MIAA No. 3 singles champion, graduated. Then, during the course of the sea- son, three players were injured. Yet, the Bearkittens responded to the chal- lenge and were ranked 19th nationally, the only MIAA team to earn a rating. We did really well in the conference, con- sidering our team was so young, Mitzi Craft said. We shocked a lot of people. Of the six women who played at the MIAA tournament, three were freshmen, two were sophomores and the other was a senior. Still, the team finished third in the championship. Even though the third-place finish at con- ference was our lowest in four years, it was pretty good considering we had to go with four freshmen and two sophomores because of in- juries, Coach Mark Rosewell said. At conference, Julie Callahan placed second in No. 1 singles. Craft won the No. 5 singles t tie and Leah Erickson won the No. 6 singk title. Callahan and Craft combined t place third in No. 1 doubles. Individually, CaOahan was ranked 34th in D vision II with a 16-6 record and was the sixt highest freshman ranked, and was an alte: nate for nationals since only the top 32 wen Callahan ' s most memorable match was a 6- ' 6-3, 7-5 win in the conference semi-fina against Southwest Baptist University ' s Lo Makar I lost the first set, won the second and wj down 1-5 in the third, but I came back to wi and made the finals, Callahan said.

At the MIAA Championship, Kendell Hale was the only champion as he took the No. 6 singles title, but the remaining eight entries captured second-place finishes to give the team an overall place of second. In addition to his singles title. Hale finished the season with a 20-3 record. He said team- work played a big factor in their MIAA stand- ing. We believed we could do well at the MIAA Championship, Hale said. We were happy with how we did since we were 18 points ahead of the third-place team. I think that the support we gave each other helped a great deal. Even though tennis was mainly an individu- al sport, the members on the sidelines raUied behind those on the court to keep spirit up. The best thing about the season was the way everyone pulled together, ' ' said Paul El- liott. ' ' There was a great amount of teamwork, even though it was individual on the court. It kept everyone psyched and working hard. Hard work and confidence helped No. ll player Jorge Castilla finish with an 18-6 record and qualify as an alternate for nationals. Castilla ' s most memorable match was against Northeastern Oklahoma ' s T.J. Teasdale. I won the first set 6-1, lost the second 3-6 and was down 2-5, love 40, in the third set, but came back to win 7-5, Castilla said. I felt I was going to win every time I played, which was a strange feeling, because I also felt thatj way when I was losing. A trip to nationals seemed within the team ' s grasp until they lost to the University of Tfennessee-Martin, 3-6, and to Southwest Bap- tist University, 0-9, the same weekend. The loss to Southwest Baptist University was de- ceiving since the match was closer than the score indicated, Castilla said. We could have won against Southwest Bap- tist, Castilla said. We lost the No. 1 singles 7-6, 7-5; the No. 2 singles 7-6, 7-6; and the No. 3 singles was ahead 5-0 in the third set, but lost the match. The Bearcats didn ' t fulfUl their quest for na- tionals, but they finished second in the MIAA by keeping team spirit high and working hard. —bv Brad Frisch Eduardo de Anda watches as his partner Jorge Castilla returns the ball with a level backhand.

Even when a win seemed close at hand, the ' Kittens weren ' t able to capitalize. We lost several close games, Assistant Coach Sarah Shillington said. Ten of our games went into extra innings and we only won one. It was really disappointing for the girls. The extra-inning losses led the team to a 14-23 record and left them wondering why they hadn ' t won more games.

The next batter up, Ron pzanstkowski, cracked his third home run of jhe season to give the Bearcats an 8-7 victory. This team was tenacious— they came from )ehind many times and didn ' t relish the fact hey might lose, Coach Jim Johnson said. ' They had great chemistry and sacrificed per- onally for the ball club. Every coach looks for springboard, and that game came earlier in he season than most. Johnson credited the ' Cats success to strong litching, defense and an offense which aver- ged eight runs per game. We didn ' t have to rely on home runs since e moved our runners well and stole 176 ases, Johnson said. Our pitchers had a very :iw earned run average.

At the beginning of the season the Bearcats set a number of team goals. We felt we could hit .350 as a team, win 40 games, score eight runs a game and do well in the post-season tournaments and play-offs, Czanstkowski said. Although they didn ' t meet every goal, the ' Cats came close by hitting .339, winning 42 games, scoring over eight runs per game and making the play-offs. Due to an NCAA rule, the ' Cats only had 26 weeks of preparation and went the last 19 days of the season without playing a game before regionals. The season ended with a 3-0 loss to SIU-Edwardsville and an 18-8 loss to Central Missouri in the double elimination Division II Central Regional Tournament. By breaking records and coming from behind with determination, the ' Cats reached beyond season, team and personal expectations. —by Marsha Hoffman Bas eball Overall Record 42-13 MIAA Record 17-3 SBU Lincoln CMSU NEMO Lincoln CMSU NEMO SBU UMSL CMSU SEMO CMSU «-t — o loti ' Front Row: Jeff Stone, .Jody .Jeffries, A.sst.

I was really pleased that we won our own invite, Coach Charlene Cline said. I didn ' t expect to win, but it was great considering it was only our second outdoor meet. We had a lot of new kids who ran hard and came through for us. Although the Bearkittens were a young team, hard work made them successful, Stephanie Johnson said. Even though we didn ' t have a lot of AU- American type athletes on the team, we worked hard and had the attitude that we wanted to be tired at the end of practice, Johnson said. But the season was not without controversy. The Bearcats went from second to third place in the MIAA Conference Meet because of the use of an ineligible athlete, John Jewett. Due to a clerical error, Jewett ' s ineligibility was not discovered until after the meet. After the MIAA was informed, the ' Cats ' total of 136 points was dropped to 128, placing them third. Individual success and team unity were keys for the men ' s and women ' s track teams.

Photo by Bruce Campbell 132 Off-season Training Extra Efforts Off-season preparations keep athletes in shape By Marsha Hoffman rofessional baseball players had spring training and pro football players had training camp, but Northwest athletes couldn ' t afford such luxuries. Instead, they trained during their seasons, and more importantly, in the off-season. According to Coach Charlene Cline, track athletes trained virtually year- round, and if they didn ' t, they couldn ' t make up for it during the ac- tual season. By lifting weights and running over their normal distances they not only improved themselves, but were given extra insurance from being constantly injured, Cline said. Off-season workouts were also im- portant for the volleyball team. The team held spring practice from the end of January until the end of March. According to Kathy Webb, the spring season was different. We didn ' t play USVBA, which meant we didn ' t have as many tour- naments to go to, ' ' Webb said. ' it was easy to get burned out playing all sea- son in the fall and then traveling to another five tournaments in the off- season. But this way, we played in one match and one tournament and had those as specific goals to shoot for. ' ' Overall, Webb concentrated on im- proving her strength and endurance during the off-season. I had more time to lift, Webb said. I was able to increase my max 15 lbs. During the in-season I concen- trated on maintaining my muscle tone. Off-season training during the in- season of another sport forced foot- ball and baseball player Dave Svehla to work double time. ' ' 1 had to do a lot of extra work dur- ing the summer and Christmas break since I missed fall baseball and spring football, Svehla said. I had to catch up to where everyone else was lift- ing, and I had to learn the new defen- sive plays for football I missed during spring ball. To train for baseball, Svehla went to Nebraska Wesleyan during the summer to play baseball and get his arm in shape. Despite playing both sports, Sveh- la was not worried about getting burned out. The change of sports helped, Svehla said. I would probably get burned out if I played just one sport year-round. According to head football coach Bud EUiott, his players worked on weights four days a week and also did agility and flexibilty drills when the coaches were there. For football player Shannon Rooney and his teammates, this meant hard work to keep in shape. In the off-season, we lifted weights and worked out together, Rooney said. We kept our ideas of what we wanted to accomplish in mind and worked hard to gain them. That way, we encouraged each other and kept ourselves in shape. Jogging five miles a week and lift- ing five days a week were just two ways basketball player Kurt Schmal- john kept in shape. The most important way 1 trained was to play as much basketball as possible, Schmaljohn said. It was easier for me to be in the best shape I could to start the pre-season. Tennis players such as Julie Calla- han ran a two-mile route on campus every day for conditioning. The wom- en also ran sprints, stairs and lifted weights during off-season workouts, Callahan said. Although athletes competed during the season, most agreed they im- proved more during the off-season.

Just Within Reach Surprise turnaround almost gives 9-3 team MIAA cliampionship Since Webster described a miracle as an event or effect that apparently contradicts known scientific laws, ' ' it would be safe to say that the Bearcat football team was just short of miraculous. Picked to finish seventh in the MIAA pre- season poll, Northwest quickly became known as the conference Cinderella team by finish- ing 9-3, placing second in the MIAA and also earning a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs. We wanted to be better as a team this year, Andy Frerking said. The coaches ex- pected it and we expected it from ourselves. We knew we had the potential. In the season opener, the ' Cats rallied from a mid-game deficit against long-time rival Mis- souri Western to down the Golden Griffons 45-29. In the victory, the Bearcats gave a glimpse of what would become the corner- stone of the team ' s surprising success: a strong ground attack keyed by sophomore quarter- Defense.

The ' Cat ground machine continued to grind up victim after victim, crushing Southwest Baptist 34-7 and Missouri Southern 35-7. Although the team ' s 3-0 record at that point had already surpassed last season ' s 2-9 record, the toughest games lay ahead. This included a matchup against MIAA newcomer Pittsburg State University, which possessed the longest regular-season winning streak, 39 games, in NCAA football. We knew that every game would be a dog fight and that we had to play hard, ' ' free safe- ty Jason Agee said.

Agee was ranked among the Division II leaders in blocks and interceptions. After a win over Central Missouri State, the then Divi- son II lOth-ranked Bearcats entered what was called the showdown for the MIAA championship, against eighth- ranked Pittsburg. Northwest battled Pittsburg to a 7-7 tie in the first half of an error-filled game. Capitalizing on eight Northwest turnovers, the Gorillas overwhelmed the ' Cats to take a 27-13 win. I don ' t think our loss to Pittsburg hurt us that much since we were a young team, Coach Bud Elliott said. Play- ing them was a good ex- perience, because the players benefitted from that type of game and situation. The loss dropped the ' Cats to 6-1 overall, but they received a boost by edging the University of Missouri-RoUa 7-3 before a capacity Home- coming crowd.

The ' Cats earned their second-ever playoff game agamst Pittsburg. Unfortunately for the ' Cats, the end resulted in another Gorilla victory, 28-7. We didn ' t play up to our potential, Elliott said. We went in with a good game plan that would have given us a shot at beating them if it had been executed properly. As the season progressed, the ' Cats redefined their pre- season goals. To make the playoffs was an unreal feeling for us and something we strived for, Shannon Rooney said. Our first goal was just to get the winning season, but then we also added the playoff spot and couldn ' t have asked for a better turnaround.

Tillison broke the single season rush- ing mark with 1,219 yards. Although they were only sophomores, both Tillison and Wilson moved up the all-time rushing list. Tillison ended the season third with 1,849 yards and Wilson finished fifth with 1,531 yards. In the end, the ' Cats accom- plished what no one thought possible: a second-place finish in the newly-expanded MIAA and a national ranking.

Although the ' Kit- tens finished 12-28 last year and team morale was low, Voisin signed six recruits and pre- pared a tougher schedule. Even though the ' Kittens finished 15-35, they were determined and hard working. ' ' Our team attitude was better this year, ' ' co- captain Tbrri Palmer said. Nobody gave up and everyone worked hard at practice. Another unique factor was that seven of the 16 team members were freshmen. We were treated just like anyone else, MIAA co-Freshman of the Year Stacey Hoel- scher said. Even though a lot of the fresh- men started, the upperclassmen accepted it well. Wearing new uniforms and building an atti- tude of determination, the team faced a difficult schedule. At the MIAA tournament held at Southwest Baptist University, the ' Kit- tens lost their first match to Southeast Mis- souri State in four games.

It was a marathon, Kathy Webb said. Their defense always picked up what we were doing. We never gave up and the six start- ers finally came together The Bear kittens hoped to hit the .500 mark, but after facing nationally-ranked opponents and playing a schedule in which breaks were minimal, their original goals were altered. Because we were playing teams that were ranked nationally and we had a young team, our new goal was to play our opponents to the best of our ability, Palmer said. Also, our record wasn ' t an indication of our ability. At Central Missouri State and Denver ' s Metro State tournaments, we lost 10 games to ranked teams in just those two weekends. ' ' New traditions also helped to motivate team members. One was giving a Player of the Week Award, chosen by the coach. To discourage complaining, the Pepsi Club was created. If a player was caught complaining or swearing, she owed the coaches a Pepsi. As the season progressed, efforts united and results were evident. In the second round of the MIAA tournament, the ' Kittens defeated Missouri Western in St. Joseph. It was the first time we all played our best game at the same time, Laura Bowen said. It felt great because we hadn ' t beaten them in four or five years. In a match against Northeast Missouri State, Hoelscher set a school single-match record with 33 saving digs. Webb placed third on the all-time kill list with 1,129 in four seasons, and also finished third in saving digs and fourth 1 among blockers. Webb was also named to the all MIAA first team, a pre-season goal she had set for her- self. While she enjoyed playing volleyball, Webb said that she looked at it as a job and realized it was a team sport. I couldn ' t have done it by myself, Webb said. I had to have the pass and set to hit.

These diverse surfaces made cross country courses grueling and difficult. Likewise, the men ' s and women ' s cross coun- try seasons were rocky at times, but also proved to be rewarding. As both teams prepared for their first meets, their performances seemed to pay off because of this rigorous training. The women finished third at Simpson College ' s Dick Buxton Invita- tional while the men ' s team finished third at the Southwest Baptist Invitational. Both teams were especially pumped and ready to go at the Northwest Invitational held on Home coming day. Plus, the meet was held at Nodaway Lake, their home course.

We had a team meeting afterward, and we talked for over an hour after Coach Alsup left. Everything was taken care of, and after that we were better friends because of it.

In- stead of being greeted by roommates, her husband had a piping hot dinner on the table. This scenario described the lives of non-traditional student athletes San- dy Nelson and Colleen Yost. During her freshman year, Sandy Cummings met Bud Nelson playing co-ed intramural volleyball. They started dating the next year, and married in the summer of 1988. Sandy, now Mrs. Nelson, played basketball for Northwest and took 17 to 18 academic hours while Bud took 15. lb make ends meet, Sandy work- ed during the summer at Wahnart and Bud coached junior high basket- ball, refereed and supervised main- tenance for four buildings in the Northside Mall. They lived in a three- room apartment above Cotter Travel. Although their busy schedules also included other activities such as Big Brother, Big Sister and campus groups, Sandy decided to go out for track the spring of her junior year. I liked the program, the other girls on the team and Coach (Charlene) Cline, Nelson said. It was a once- in-a-lifetime shot because I was stu- dent teaching spring semester my senior year, and then graduating. With this multitude of activities, the time the Nelsons spent together was precious. During basketball sea- son they spent 12 to 14 hours of qual- ity time together a week. But they found ways to relieve stress, like play- ing cards. The Nelsons had definite plans for the future: teach a few years, then earn master ' s degrees in counseling. Although he coached two married players. Coach Wayne Winstead didn ' t notice any difference in his players. Winstead said organization 142 Non-traditional Athletes was the key to their success. Time wasn ' t a problem for Sandy and Colleen, Winstead said. Their marriages didn ' t interfere with basketball. They understood the amount of time spent on basketball when they married. Unlike the Nelsons, Colleen White and Kevin Yost were high school sweethearts. Colleen ' s best friend was Kevin ' s sister, and their families had known each other a long time. Colleen, 20, and Kevin, 21, were married June 24. As far as basketball was concerned. Colleen felt the sea- son was easier when she was married than when she wasn ' t. I was more organized and goal- oriented, Colleen said. It was eas- ier because it helped to know Kevin was there for me and would talk things out if I felt stressed. One source of stress might have been the number of activities the Yosts were involved in besides being full-time students. Colleen was in- volved in FCA, Delta Psi Kappa and was vice president of both HPERD and M-Club. Kevin worked 25 to 50 hours a week on a local farm and was in Alpha Gamma Rho. Once a month, however, the Yosts tried to get away from it all by go- ing to the movies in St. Joseph. It was fun because we pretended we were still dating so Kevin had to pay for everything, Colleen said. Colleen and Kevin, who also lived above Cotter Travel, planned to earn master ' s degrees after graduation. Colleen wanted a degree in health and wellness so she could work as a sports director at a YMCA or city recreation department. At the end of the day after finish- ing dinner, both Bearkitten basket- ball players could relax. By putting aside homework and other activities, they could spend a few precious mo- ments with their husbands. Sandy Nelson, a married basketball player, tries to gain possesion of the ball.

Pho- to by Brandon Russell 144 Women ' s Basketball Surprise Finish Critics ' expectations prove false as ' Kittens make NCAA playoffs With the loss of key player Janet Clark, many expected the Bearkitten basketball team to record an average year. With nine under- :lassmen, the team was younger than last y ear ' s squad that won 14 games. Pre-season polls predicted the Kittens to ' inish fourth in the MIAA North Division, and ;hey were not expected to make the playoffs. I was disappointed with the polls, but I also igreed with them because we weren ' t click- ng as a team yet, Sandy Nelson said. I ;hought we had potential to do well and win. ' ' To everyone ' s surprise, they finished the egular season 19-8 and qualified for the MIAA )ost-season tournament. The ' Kittens started the season by winni ng he Ryland Milner Tburnament, defeating Wil- iam Woods, 74-65, and William Penn, 67-62. One way MIAA Coach of the Year Wayne Vinstead worked toward success was by Ihooting for two, Lisa Kenkel drives to the basket 1 a 74-65 win over William Woods in the Ryland lilner Tournament. Kenkel scored 18 points for the kittens. Photo by Scott Jensen stressing teamwork and intensity. We were willing to give the ball to whoever was having a good night, Danae Wagner said. We picked up the slack if someone was off. Two of the team ' s biggest wins were against top-ranked teams. The ' Kittens upset Southeast Missouri State 60-57 on the road. Their next upset was against then fifth- ranked Central Missouri State. The 67-64 vic- tory wasn ' t assured untU Lisa Kenkel sank two free throws for a three-point lead at the end. I knew those free throws were important even thoug h we were ahead when I shot them, Kenkel said. The ' Kittens broke the century mark against Lincoln, 102-42. Both seniors gave good per- formances as Nelson broke the school record for assists in a game with 16, and Stacie Mur- ray scored 17 points coming off the bench. After losing in the second round of the MIAA playoffs, the ' Kittens were on the bubble for the NCAA tournament, which meant they were not automatically assured of a bid. They received a bid, but their opponent was third-ranked West Texas State. The ' Kittens lost -2-48 in Warrensburg, but they were the first team to make the NCAA tournament since 1984, when the team finished third. Not only did the team defy the odds, but they earned MIAA recognition and proved their critics wrong in the process. —by Sara Hosford Women ' s Basketball Overall Record 20-10 MIAA Record 11-5 SEMO 60-57 Washburn 60-83 PSU 74-58 NEMO 97-82 SBU 52-49 Mo-Westem 80-51 CMSU 45-79 Washburn 73-82 Lincoln 87-54 NEMO 95-74 Mo-Southern 72-65 UMSL 62-43 Mo-Western 68-80 CMSU 67-64 Lincoln 102-42 Mo-RoUa 60-59 Front Row: Sandy Nelson, Stacie Murray, Lisa Kenkel and Angie Cummings.

Close loss- es, major upsets and missing MIAA post-season action were a just a few of their obstacles. The Bearcats showed glimpses of hope when they jumped out to a 5-0 start, including the Ryland Milner Tburnament Championship. ' I thought we really looked good as a team early on, and that gave us some positive feel- ings, Coach Steve Tkppmeyer said. The seniors were coming forward and providing us jwith the leadership we needed. I They found themselves on the losing end of jmany see-saw battles with MIAA opponents, who were a constant thorn in their side. At one point, the ' Cats lost four straight with three losses by less than eight points. In one Benji Burke scores two points against Peru State. The 69-51 win gave the ' Cats the Ryland Milner Fournament Championship. Photo by Scott Jenson of those losses. Southwest Baptist hit a last sec- ond three-pointer to down Northwest 66-65. We just weren ' t getting the breaks we need- ed in close games, Tkppmeyer said. Our team just branched out and didn ' t come together as it did last season. Northwest then dropped three MIAA games as they watched their MIAA record fall to 2-5. We started the season playing well as a team, Leonard Wilson said. Then after we dropped a couple of close games, we started branching out and playing as individuals. The ' Cats attained the high point of the sea- son against Central Missouri State. Hitting cru- cial free throws late in the game, they upset the fifth-ranked Mules, 61-60. The ' Cats again declined after the Central win as the team dropped two more conference contests to Lincoln and Missouri-RoUa. We were all pretty close off the court, Wil- son said. Overall, I don ' t think our record reflected the way we really were. The compe- tition was tough, and despite losing as much as we did, we challenged the conference leadvjrs. ' ' Despite last-minute losses and a losing con- ference record, the team experienced some high points in a season full of ups and downs. —by Dale Brown Men ' s Basketball Overall Record 14-13 MIAA Record 5-11 Washburn 74-83 PSU 64-61 NEMO 92-73 SBU 65-66 Mo-Western 66-74 CMSU 60-73 Washburn 54-59 Lincohi 76-66 NEMO 78-59 Mo-Southern 74-76 Mo-Western 63-83 CMSU 61-60 Lincohi 78-90 Mo-RoUa 58-66 UMSL 67-74 SEMO 69-90 Front Row: Kurt SchmaUohn, Ber ji Burke, Jeff Johnson and Kurtis Downing.

Men ' s Basketball 147 Organized FLJn Intramurals offer participants variety of events, competition by Marsha Hoffman hile most recreational ac- tivities required students to fork over the bucks, one program at Northwest offered par- ticipants fun, physical activity to keep in shape and healthy competi- tion for the cost of . . . absolutely nothing! For the second consecutive year, over 7,000 students, faculty and staff members participated in the in- tramural program. Several new sports were introduced, including a two-man scramble golf tournament, co-rec team handball, a weekly con- test to pick college football game winners and wall ey ball. Due to lack of equipment, walley- ball did not debut last year as sched- uled, Coordinator of Campus Recre- ation Bob Lade said. But when the equipment arrived and a racquetball court was adapted, walleyball be- came a hot new sport. The people who played it really liked it, Lade said. We kept the basic team sports such as volleyball, basketball, softball and football from year to year, but changed others to add a mixture of different team and individual sports. Another aspect of intramurals was the pursuit of supremacy. Ttams were entered in either fraternity, sorority or independent categories to battle for the trophy. This provided a setting for intense competition and rivalry. Even though they did not win ev- ery event they entered. Alpha Sigma Alpha members hoped to increase their supremacy chances by getting as many entry points as possible, Su- san Parker said. According to John Strauss, Sigma Phi Epsilon members signed up for a 148 Intramurals sport, were divided into teams by ability and then practiced individu- ally with their teams to aid their supremacy pursuit. Winning supremacy was impor- tant because it helped us in the com- petition for top Greek organization overall, Strauss said. The rivalry and competition also helped us get to know each other better Supremacy was only one reason students participated. For others, in- tramurals provided a way to be in- volved and compete without belong- ing to a varsity team. I Uked to compete in sports, relax in the evening and get together with friends, Wade Beck said. That made intramurals all the more eryoyable. ' ' Intramurals weren ' t limited to Greeks. Independents such as Beck formed teams with campus organiza- tions, residence hall floors or friends. My roommate, myself and another friend were sitting around and decided to form a volleyball team, Beck said. We each asked one or two other guys until we found the seven or eight players we need- ed to make the team. The intramural program was fund- ed with a budget from Northwest. The $2 cost the University paid per participant was a bargain, allowing students to play intramurals without paying a fee. Lade said. Participants got a lot for their money ' s worth, Lade said. They would have had to pay to play at many schools. For a school our size, students were really involved. If Northwest ever decided to make students pay a fee, which Lade said was unlikely, students said paying to -continued i .m - W ■;S Running down the home stretch, Audrey Ptobinson sprints in an intramural track meet relay.

Photo by Sabine Grable Intramurals 149 Organized Fun -continued compete in intramurals would be well worth the money. Doug Mattson said he would definitely pay a fee to participate be- cause he liked to play intramurals, had played sports in high school and wanted to be competitive. On the other hand, Mattson did have a complaint about time-keeping changes in the intramural football competition. They changed from a running clock to 20 plays per half, which were split between the teams, Mattson said. If the other team took 14 plays to score, then both teams knew you only had six plays left to score in the half. The games were a lot quicker, but not as exciting. Another complaint was the offi- ciating, but Lade said this year was the smoothest as far as incidents were concerned. Student officials attended clinics to upgrade their skills, Lade said. There were always winners and losers, and the losers sometimes com- plained. Also, officiating provided the students with experience and was a good opportunity for them to make money. One improvement the program needed was better facilities, and plans for future renovations were in the works, Lade said. For an investment of only time, not money, intramural participants earned not only championship T- shirts, but also fulfilled their needs for physical exercise and athletic competition. Competing in the in- tramural track meet, Eric Mansfield and Tom Ricker lead the pack in the 1.500 meter run. Mansfield won, and Ricker placed second.

' IFC After temporarily losing governing rights, the Inter- fraternity Council was deter- mined to regain respect. Believing the council v as not carrying out their duties, administration began making the decisions pertaining to rights and regulations of the eight fraternities on campus. IFC President Juan Rangel decided it was time for the council to get its act together so they began to revise their constitution, conduct month- ly president ' s round table meetings and become more strict about policy violations. We wanted to run our own government again so we set aside our rivalry and worked together, Phi Sigma Kappa Kevin Sharpe said. Regaining respect wasn ' t easy, but the council managed to prove they could devise reasonable rules with effec- tive results. PA.NHELLEMC COUNCIL As the governing body of sororities on campus, promot- ing the Greek system was Pan- hellenic ' s responsibility. Beyond regulating Rush and Greek Week activities, one of their primary functions was to improve faculty relations. In the spring they sponsored an Easter egg hunt for chil- dren of faculty. Barb Meyer, president, thought the faculty breakfast sponsored during Faculty Appreciation Month was successful. Professor of the Month was another program that support- ed the faculty. Each sorority nominated a professor and then Panhellenic voted. Panhellenic also set out to improve their status within the community. We were trying to improve 154 Government ' jo ao to: k G ' E R X M E N T EEPING PEACE Food For Tholght Panhellenic Council Spring Presi- dent Anne Dryden and Ann En- glish enjoy a pizza Mjf i tiieir ' Lit- tle Sis Cassey Wymore. as part of their ' ' Big Sis.

Mixers were noved to FViday nights to pro- note improved academic vork. RESIDENCE HALL ASSOC. The average college student irank at least one can of pop day. Where did all the emp- y aluminum cans go? Residence Hall Association ecided collecting aluminum cans to recycle was a good way for halls to earn money. We supplied each resi- dence hall with trash bags and containers, Treasurer Diane Wood said. The students sup- plied empty cans, then we recycled the cans and gave the money back to the hall. RHA was also responsible for putting together a sexual awareness program to help in- crease student awareness of sexually transmitted diseases, sexual responsibility and rape. The alcohol policy on cam- pus brought much controversy and the group had to deal with what the students and ad- ministration wanted. One thing that was in the beginning stages and was sug- gested at the alcohol forum was a 21-and-over hall, Becky Bell said. RHA functioned by and for students to protect students ' interests and needs on campus. STUDENT SENATE Along with being the tradi- tional student governing body, Student Senate was able to achieve goals that made dras- tic changes both on and off campus. Their most publicized pro- ject was the alcohol White Papers, which were a set of rules about alcohol advertise- ments and consumption on campus and in Greek houses. Associate members were not allowed a vote but were recog- nized as voicing opinions and concerns for the group which they represented. We changed the associate membership so we could be more selective and it was for the best, Leah Betten said. By the increased organiza- tion and stricter interview process, I think it became more of an honor to be an as- sociate member. A trip to the capitol in Jefferson City found Student Senate lobbying for money on behalf of the University. The funds were to be set aside for school programs and basic operating costs. Back In Time RHA sponsors a free dec-a-dance where dancers dress in attire of their favorite decade. The event was held in the Spanish Den. Pho- to bv Todd Weddle Government 155 s E R V I C E S EYOND THE CALL fni AG AMBASSADORS Since agriculture was such a prominent program at North- west, the Agriculture Ambas- sadors had reason to show off. As chief recruiters for the program, it was the Ag Am- bassadors ' job to show the Agriculture Department to campus visitors. Prospective students were shown the different types of livestock and crops at the ag school. Our recruiting was a little more personal than the regu- lar University Ambassadors, mainly because we took them directly to their area of in- terest and showed them what kind of facilities we had, Barry Clough said. The group represented Northwest at the National Fu- ture Farmers of America con- vention in Kansas City. C Ps Campus Activity Program- mers President Jeannie Rigby accomplished one goal by put- ting the cap on campus life with plenty of entertainment. CAPs wanted to see more students at events sponsored by the organization. Rigby felt the best way to accomplish this was through publicity. Announcements were posted all around campus and easels were placed in eating areas to get the word out. Students had always com- plained there was nothing to do, Rigby said. There had always been free CAPs activi- ties, so we just wanted them to know about the events. The Comedy Club, held in the Dugout on Sunday nights, kept students laughing bi- weekly. Bad English, a pop rock band, entertained them in Lamkin Gym in November. CAPs also tried something new by bringing a lecture to campus. Sarah Weddington, who defended Jane Roe in the 1973 Roe vs. Wade case, discussed the Supreme Court ' s 1989 abortion rulings. CARE Chemical Abuse Resources and Education recognized that college involved more than classes. They saw the need to prevent alcohol and drug abuse and to promote sexual responsibility. Members presented pro- grams to freshman seminar classes on alcohol abuse and acquaintance rape, sponsored a women ' s support group and helped with a program for adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families. Whenever needed, CARE took action and volunteered its time and ideas. If one person had a prob- lem, then there were many who did, Tod McCullough said. We got them together so they could help each other. Poster and music contests Caps Com[;dv CAPs-sponsored comedian Frank King attempts to liven up the Sun- day night crowd in the Spanish Den. CAPs hired different come- dians to perform every other weeA- and sometimes had two or three acts a night. Photo by Mona Long set CARE in the public eye and promoted the values they stood for. A prize of $100 was offered to the student or group who created the best theme song for CARE. Casino Night was sponsored by CARE and X-106 to raise money. Local businesses do- nated various items to be raf- fled. The event attracted more than 150 students. After being federally fund- ed for two years by a $2,000 grant, CARE prepared to be- come a self -supported group. CIRCLE K Working in affiliation with Kiwanis and standing behind the motto We Build, Circle K spent the year improving the community. Once again the group sold Halloween insurance. They sponsored a bingo night for the elderly, had a Thanksgiving dinner and bought Christmas presents for; a family they sponsored with the insurance money. During the spring they held their annual canned food drive. They challenged Greeks, residence halls and faculty to collect the most food and they gave the wiimer a plaque. People get a natural high from doing things for other people. Our primary focus was to better the community, Vice President Thoren Schmidt said. In the process of helping others. Circle K members found they had improved themselves as well. 118 156 Services KIDS Koncerned Individuals Dedi- cated to Students consisted of University students who do- nated their time each week as big brothers and sisters for Horace Mann or Head Start students. For the first time they opened it to all children, not just those from low income or single-parent homes. At the beginning of the year Dr. Jon Hixon, professor of psychology, talked to mem- bers about the importance of keeping in contact with their sponsored child and problems they might encounter. Students were asked to carefully consider their sched- ules before committing to their little brothers or sisters. President Brian Hayes had the same little brother for three years. It gave me a nice feeling to see this child grow, Hayes said. It made me feel good to know I helped somebody. • . AA . G AMBASSADORS Front Row: Barrj ' Clough, Dorothy Fisher, Keren Hellerich.

Easy to spot in their melon-colored Avantage ' 89 T-shirts, they assisted where needed. Each freshman seminar class had a PA to help the in- structor and students. The primary purpose of the PA was to help students make the transition from high school to college. ' My main responsibility was to help make the students comfortable with the instruc- tor, the University and the fa- cilities we had here, Jeff Da- vis said. Even though seminar was finished after first semester, PAs followed up second semester and sometimes found friendships. PAs had to be nominated by a faculty or staff member and were granted a $100 scholar- ship. RESIDENTIAL LIFE ASSIST Residential Life Assistants was a group created by and for the Resident Assistants. This wasn ' t the first year for the group, but it was the first time it had been officially recog- nized by Student Senate. The 85 to 90 member group officially formed to provide more unity for the RAs rather than simply meeting once or twice a year to discuss a money-making project, as was previously done. The group ' s activities in- cluded a spring banquet and a newly created newsletter. We wanted more rights as RAs and more representatives in hall courts and stu- dent faculty courts, Presi- dent Sue Shelton said. It seemed like the RAs were on trial most of the time, rather than the students that had been written up. RLA worked not only to es- tablish itself as a group, but to make life a little easier for campus RAs. SIGMA SOCIETY Celebrating the group ' s 20th birthday, Sigma Society mem- bers worked to put their theme, Continuing a Tradi- tion of Service, into action. Since Opal Eckert, a Mary- ville resident and former Northwest instructor, founded the women ' s service group in 1970, it had matured into a 40-member society. Tb carry out their pledge to service, the women sponsored one service project each month. They decorated the Maryville Health Care Center for Halloween, collected canned food for the Food Pan- try, donated clothes and food to a needy family and con- tributed Christmas gifts to the TDys for Tats program. ' ' Sigma Society was a unique organization because we were all in college and busy with our own work, but we still found time to help other peo- ple, Stacey Grisamore said. Traditional programs the group continued included babysitting at Maryville ' s Par- ents as Tfeachers meetings and adopting special friends from Eugene Field Elemen- tary School. lb boost their budget by $600, 30 members spent a rainy Sunday in October work- ing at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. While they donated most of their rainy-day money to others, they invested some in their annual bridal show and spring formal. Spring formal capped off Sigma Society week in which News Bulletin Resident Assistants Lynn Flaherty and Angle Honz create a newslet- ter for all RAs campus wide. The newsletter, Residential Life, came out once a month. Photo by Don Carrick members tried to gain recogni- tion on campus. The year- ending banquet and dance served as a formal send-off for graduating members and the installation for new officers. 158 Services STUDENT AMBASSADORS Along with the average 100 weekly tours from the Mabel Cook Visitors Center that Stu- dent Ambassadors gave, there were 100 confirmation pack- ets to mail, 100 academic ap- pointments to arrange, 100 follow-up notes to send and at least 100 questions to answer from overprotective parents, nervous high school seniors and misinformed visitors. Jane Lauer said a family once asked her where the University ' s goat farm was lo- cated, and Mike Malone said he was unprepared to answer a family ' s request to know how many books were in the B.D. Owens Library. When the Ambassadors ar- rived in August to assist with orientation, they were greet- ed by a new sponsor and assis- tant director of admissions. Deb Harris. According to Ma- lone, Harris did an excellent job of filling some pretty tough shoes because the former sponsor, Lori Tyner-Weddle, was also founder of the Am- bassador program. Malone, who served as president in 1989, viewed his position as unique because he was the leader of other stu- dent leaders. ' ' That also posed a challenge because Ambassadors w ere so involved in other organiza- tions that it was hard to get us together outside a working en- vironment, Malone said. The group won third in the Homecoming house dec com- petition with Follow the Yel- low Paw Prints, their pop art rendition of The Wizard of Oz. A Christmas banquet at The Cardinal Inn brought a new twist to the traditional Ambas- sador gift exchange. Creative presents such as electric vegetables and honeymoon kits were traded. ,« ' |j (Li:s ' ' ««5% PEER ADVISERS Front Row: Jeff Ferguson, adviser; .Jill Hurt, Chris Ormsbee, Leanne Hagan, Renee Redd, Aiui Foster, Lisa Clement, Andrea Thompson, Sheila Viets and Alfred Kelly, adviser Second Bow: Robyn Brinks, Keith Winge, David Bus- sard, Karen Jenkins, Michelle Burch, Andy Se ' eley, Lisa Lawrence, Cindy Booth and David McMahon.

KIDS was a group of college students who gave pieces of their big brothers and big sisters. These children attended the Horace Mann Laboratory School, Eugene Field Elementary School or the HeadStart program. Giving a part of myself to a child gave me satisfaction and proved beneficial to my future teaching career, Dana Allen said. Allen and her little brother, Kurt, went roller skating, visit- ed Winter Wonderland Park and trick-or-treated in Hudson Hall on Halloween. Sigma Society, with the theme Pride Through Service, also had a program to help younger children. In their Special Friends program, two Sigma members became friends with one young child. These children were often from broken or low-income homes. I felt a sense of self- worth because I was a role model for my special friend, Heidi Wittrock said. hearts and part of their time to younger children by becoming A tremendous amount of gratification was gained through helping children. You knew you were helping a child who otherwise might not have had the emotional support a college student could pro- vide, Juli Houghton said. But those in need of a special friend weren ' t always the young. Sigma Society ' s monthly service projects benefited all ages and needs. The group decorated the Maryville Health Care Center for Halloween and collected newspapers and aluminum cans and donated the money to help the needy. Valentines were made to decorate the hospital and care center in February. Sigma Society also collected clothes that went to help the poor in Maryville and St. Joseph. Circle K made helping the hungry their main goal. Food was collected and donated to the needy. Another type of service group dedicated to helping campus visitors was the Student Ambassadors. They helped prospec- tive students make the difficult decision of choosing a college by showing them around campus and answering their questions. Peer Advisers were dedicated to helping students already en- rolled. Freshmen experienced a much smoother entrance to col- lege life due to the time and dedication of these upperclass- men. Peer Advisers came a week early to help with Freshman Orientation. Then, in Freshman Seminar, they helped freshmen throughout their first semester of college. The actions of the people involved in these organizations benefited many people, young and old alike. Gratification for them came in many ways: self-worth, happiness or pride. But whatever the reward, members of these groups often got back more than they gave. Finding time to get together, Libby McLeran, former RA Marcie Soligo and Courtney Coffman share refreshments and a laugh. Often, RAs formed special bonds with residents they served on their floors. Pho- to by Jane Lauer Reaching Out 161 Academics OAD TO SUCCESS ACCOUNTING SOCIETY Money talked — or so they said. But what happened when you couldn ' t under- stand what was said? Most people called an accountant. The Accounting Society gave students the opportuni- ty to get an idea of what types of accounting they wished to explore, as well as giving them practical experience. The group had many speak- ers throughout the year. One accounting firm from Des Moines, Iowa, gave a presen- tation and granted interviews to Northwest applicants. These speakers allowed the group the opportunity to ask a professional ' s opinion of what employers looked for. ' ' There were different ways you could go with account- ing, Annette Weakland said. You could go public, private or government. I learned the advantages and disadvantages of each. For the second year in a row. Accounting Society par- ticipated in a program which helped people fill out their tax forms. A room in the library was reserved for this purpose and anyone who needed help with their taxes could come in for free consultation. AG CLUB Bringing a taste of country life to those who might not have ever experienced it was just one of the t hings the Agriculture Club strived for in its activities. The club was no longer just for agriculture majors. A lot of others joined who felt like they had things in common with us, such as com- ing from a small town or just being interested in what we were doing, Daren Niemey- er said. The group had a goal to win the Homecoming Supremacy award in the Independent Di- vision. They won in the float category and created a house decoration for the first time. For recreation the Ag Club held a fall and spring Barn- warming, each with live entertainment. The group also had its annu- al Little American Royal, which allowed members to show livestock, and an Ag Ap- preciation Day, where mem- bers sponsored games and gave away prizes. A Roping Rodeo, which was open to the entire community, was held in the fall. An entry fee was charged for par- ticipants and prizes were given to the top winners. AG COUNCIL The purpose of the Agricul- ture Council was to act as mid- dle men for the Agriculture Department and its students. Ag Council had many new duties. But new opportunities brought more responsibility. The group handled the stu- dent response teacher evalua- tions for the Agriculture Department and were given the chance to voice their opin- ions to as well as be spokesper- sons for the department. We had a representative who sat in on departmental meetings, which had never been done before, President Nate Allen said. The representative then took information gathered from these meeting and ad- dressed the issues with stu- dents in the department. In order to mix a little fun with all their business, the Council sponsored its first hog roast in September, honoring all the students in the Ag De- partment. The Council enjoyed old tra- ditions as well. They held their annual banquet in the spring with Dr Doug Butler as the featured speaker Round ' Em Up Chuck McCalla prepares a show animal for exhibition in the Litth American Royal.

The club ' s main fundraisei was selling plant mounts and 162 Academic Groups seed samples to local high school agriculture classes. The money earned from this went towards scholarships, payment of fees for a nation- al agronomy association and funding educational trips. We went to the Agricul- ture Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs, Kan., and attended the dedication of the Nation- al Farmer Memorial, Presi- dent Jason Hall said. We also went to a chemical manufac- turing plant in Hannibal. For the first time the organi- zation was able to send two members, Treasurer Ken May- berry and Vice President Don Buzard, to the national con- vention in Las Vegas. In addition, the Agronomy Club donated money to the Red Cross and United Way. AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOC. Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society blew the audience away at a demonstration of chemical properties during National Chemistry Week One experiment involved exploding a balloon filled with hydrogen. The first 10 rows of onlookers had to be evacuat- ed due to the hazards it posed. In addition to the demon- stration, a chemistry display was set up every day on the third floor of Garrett-Strong. A Chemistry Trivia Ques- tion posted each day gave those interested in science chances to win prizes. We worked on PR, stress- ing the importance and appli- cation of chemistry in every- day life, Larry Jennings said. In March, they put together the Science Olympiad for area high schools. This promoted the science department and sparked interest in prospec- tive chemistry majors.

In a quest to make them- selves more appealing to fu- ture employers, members of the American Marketing As- sociation started by marketing their own organization. After launching a self- promotional campaign, AM A witnessed increased member- ship and enthusiasm. Presi- dent Mark McKinney felt the time spent recruiting in fresh- man seminar classes, talking to instructors and issuing fliers paid off. We saw a lot more interest from younger members and they were playing a more ac- tive role than in the past, McKinney said. Dale Montague, executive director of enrollment man- agement, spoke to the group about marketing the Univer- sity. One of the organization ' s projects. Marketing Day, was partially funded by money- makers such as selling North- west T-shirts which they designed themselves and sold campus wide.

Photo by Tbdd Weddle Their duty was to present the national and University colors, and sometimes the Army flag, at campus func- tions while the National An- them was played. We were also called upon when dignitaries visited cam- pus, Cadet Sergeant Bill Pick said. The group also carried the flags during parades. The ROTC-funded group was made up, for the most part, of Military Science III and IV members and met once a week to practice drills and ceremonies. Five members were needed at most home sporting events for the opening flag ceremo- ny. Members were allowed to sign up for the events that best fit their schedules. The Color Guard practiced in the spring in order to ready themselves for Advance Camp. COMPUTER MNGT. SOC. Because computers had be- come a fast-growing industry, people interested in computer management desired a way to get involved with other people in their area and discuss cer- tain job opportunities with peers. Computer Management So- ciety satisfied the needs of those people. Being a CMS major, the group really taught me a lot, Shelly Freeman said. I was sure everything I learned would be put to future use. Computer Management So- ciety was not always the name of this group. The name origi- nally was Data Processing Management Association. Data Processing was a dat- ed term, Adviser Dr. Nancy Thomson said. Society fo- cused on the information age; therefore, with the technolo- gy advancing, one needed to stay informed. CMS did not limit anyone to join. Anyone was welcome, but there was a membership fee of $20 per semester. FINANCIAL MNGT. ASSOC. Textbook learning was not always enough in the financial area, and many times, the best way to understand was to lis ten to others ' experiences. The Financial Management Association allowed students, 164 Academic Groups most of whom were finance majors, to explore finance by listening to professionals. FMA tried to focus on alum- ni speakers who were working in the finance industry. Some of the speakers includ- ed John Yancy with the local Edward D. Jones Company and a member of an insurance company. FMA members tried to broaden their knowledge as well as make contacts. Most people joined FMA because it was a good oppor- tunity to meet and mix with people who were already in the financial area, Rebecca Rice said. The main goal of FMA was to help assure students of I knowing about many of the different fields of finance such as banking, insurance and stock brokerage. GEOGRAPHY GEOLOGY CLUB With the many disasters oc- curing in the world, the Geog- raphy Geology Club had a lot to talk about. The club also helped put together Geography Aware- ness Week. During this week many areas of geography were pur- sued, such as available jobs and graduate school. Even films on geography were presented to the public. It was also during this week that the group, along with President Dean Hubbard, ded- icated a large wall map that hung on Garrett-Strong ' s first floor. But the main reason for the group was to look at geogra- phy and geology in a new per- spective, while getting others interested. We promoted unity through learning experiences for peo- ple who were interested in ge- ography and geology, Presi- dent Shannon Jipp said.

After two years of being almost nonexistent, HPERD spread the word that the group was not just for those in physical education. Getting the word out seemed to change the idea of what HPERD was. The start of the new year brought about the joining of members. Tbachers were encouraging students to join because recre- ation was a booming area, Vice President Colleen Yost said. Since there weren ' t as many jobs, employers were looking for people with more than classroom experience. In return, HPERD gave something to Northwest. Members participated in a gymnastics program to help young children learn motor skills and basic fitness. HORTICULTURE CLUB Horticulture is an art form: the art of growing flowers, fruits and vegetables. The club united students who had an interest in plants. The Horticulture Club took a cue from their green viney friends and branched out to encourage others to develop Off The Aik KDLX production staff members Viiice Tucker, staff manager Jodel Wolf Mike Madrigal and C.J. Hauptmeier discuss assignments. Ptioto by Don Carrick their green thumbs. The 15 club members, along with Environmental Services and Student Senate, deve- loped a new program that al- lowed any campus organiza- tion to adopt-a-bed of flow- ers or shrubs on campus. Those in the program were responsible for planting and taking care of a small plot of greenery on campus through- out the growing season. The project helped Univer- sity maintenance crew mem- bers, Kelly Faulkner said. Some new beds were added and some old remained. At the end of the year Student Sen- ate and maintenance picked the best bed. The club ' s funds came from annual fall and spring plant sales, Valentine ' s Day flower sales and membership dues. LXDLSTRIAL TECH. CLLIB After nearly six years of in- activity, the Industrial Tech Club was back on its feet. The club had over 25 members who attended club meetings and field trips. On a tour through the Kawa- saki plant they learned the basics about mechanics and saw how some of the mach- inery operated. The club was also able to dis- seminate important informa- tion to members about job op- portunities or interviews. I took what we had learned from the lab into the real world, Jennifer Stone said. We saw it first hand. Plans were made to adapt the constitution to the group ' s new ideas and purposes. KDLX KDLX, the University radio station run by broadcast stu- dents, turned on the campus by mixing daily radio broad- casts with several promotion- al activities. Students crowded around the Bell Tower on the first day of X-106 Week to join in the annual Fall Freeze. Four disc jockeys from the station played music and gave away soda and hot dogs. The freeze was once again a success, at- tracting at least 1,500 people. Tuesday was Give-It-AU- Away Day. The station gave away 106 prizes, including food coupons, albums, cas- settes and gift certificates. Wednesday was Club X day, similiar to Club MTV, and the 166 Academic Groups station gave away a one minute and six second shop- ping spree at Easters on Thursday. Finally, on Friday Midnight Madness Bowling was held at the Bearcat Lanes from mid- night until 3 a.m. KDLX Ends the ' 80s was another popular program. We asked listeners to send in their favorite songs, pro- gram director Christy Homan said. We also looked at the charts, top sales and airplay. KDLX tuned in to students ' interests to meet the demands of their audiences. KXC ' KXCV public radio turned up the volume with the de- velopment of many new pro- grams. Jazz Insights was hosted by Executive Director of En- rollment Management Dale Montague and produced by Mike Johnson. The ongoing program focused on a jazz ar- tist for a week or went on lo- cation to cover music in motion. Artists from the Maryville area were also featured and members traveled to Kansas City to focus on well-known jazz artists from that area. Arts of Northwest , anoth- er new program, was a unique music series featuring student talent, faculty members and performing arts groups. Another program offered by KXCV was Night Lite which ran from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. ' Night Lite ' played relaxing music and was good to study to, Tanja Hiner said. It was probably a popular show for campus listeners. Twenty-five to 30 students worked at KXCV and, for the first time, the station held a reunion of alumni broad- casters. Over 100 graduates filled the radio studios for the event on Homecoming Day.

MS In the Military Sciences at Northwest was a group called MS III who continued to train men and women to be future officers in the armed forces. If a student hadn ' t taken Military Science I and II the only other way to enter the class was to have gone through basic training. Usually those in MS III worked together with other military groups on campus for fundraisers. Their main source of money came from construction of a float for the Homecoming pa- rade to compete for prize money. Although MS III was unlike a conventional college course, it was just as valuable. I thought being in ROTC built confidence for other classes, Mike Davis said. They stressed studies, and my GPA went up when I joined ROTC. Other activities included ex- ercises where they practiced squad tactics and training so they were well drilled in case of a military conflict. It was probably one of the hardest things I ' d ever done, Shawn Burnett said. It caused me to dig down deep and push myself. MS IV Besides advancing through the ROTC program, Military Science IV students moved forward into the Advance Camp summer endeavor in Fort Riley, Kan. The camp, which was for all those wanting to be commis- sioned officers, helped them gain experience in working with others and leading peers, according to Dave Teachout. Besides being put in charge of a platoon, they also did some writing assignments de- 168 Academic Groups rm A C A D E M I C S - ..•aL ' ' j:-g ' -_: 5J.

An arti- cle on Weddington, who defend- ed the 1973 Supreme Court Case, ran in a September issue of the Missourian. Photo by Daria Broste vised to help them learn to communicate. While most of the commu- nication in the service was verbal, there were also memos and letters, Teachout said. We worked on communica- tion skills and wrote a few papers on why we wanted to be commanders and leaders. The MS IVs and the MS Ills basically worked together as a battallion when doing pro- jects. The difference was their school classifications: those wanting to become commis- sioned officers had to become contracted cadets their jun- ior year. The contract those in MS IV signed specified they would serve four years in active duty or eight years in the reserves. MUSIC EDUCMION Tap, tap, tap. Rumble, toot, toot. It ' s music of course! The Music Educators ' National Conference made music with help from the fourth graders at Horace Mann School. The children ' s concert with wind symphony was a new event for the MENC, and they planned to perform the con- cert for other elementary stu- dents from Nodaway County. MENC was different than other music organizations, Bill Dodd said. We really tried to learn and to supple- ment our education by doing some of the stuff we would do as music instructors. The group received an out- standing growth award out of all chapters in the state. Also, MENC sponsored the junior high contest each year which drew 524 entries. NORTHWEST MISSOL ' RIAX Not only did students read textbooks, magazines and novels, but also available was something that pertained to their campus lives: the North- west Missourian. With a weekly circulation of 5,000, the paper covered top- ics such as sexual assaults and increased tuition. Color photos were printed in the Homecoming issue for the first time since the early ' 80s. The editorial staff attended the American Collegiate Press College Media Advisers Convention in New Orleans in November. While there, the group participated in work- related seminars on topics such as newspaper writing, media law and design. I first joined the paper to receive credits, but then real- ized that it was something I enjoyed very much, Copy Editor Molly Rossiter said. It helped me sharpen my skills for a newspaper job after graduation. In spite of the fact that the Missourian was a small group, it hoped to inform students in a big way. PHI BETA LAMBDA Phi Beta Lambda was a bus- iness and social organization for those interested in busi- ness careers. Some members joined to continue their involvement with FBLA club which started in high school. FBLA, which stood for Fu- ture Business Leaders of America, was a group that en- couraged those who were in- terested in the business field to get together. It was a small organization but it could be helpful to busi- ness students in the future. Kristin Hummer said. They held meetings once a month in the Union and plan- ned a fundraiser to benefit Muscular Distrophy. Academic Groups 169 Academics OAD TO SUCCESS PI BETA ALPHA Getting a jump on the busi- ness world was what many members of Pi Beta Alpha, a professional business organiza- tion, had in mind when they joined the group. By working with businesses to gain experience in the professional world, the group was able to take field trips and listen to guest speakers whose presentations were designed to help them make good career choices. It was really good to make contacts and acquaintances in the real job market, President Jeannine Riordan said, It kept us informed and up-to- date on what was happening. ' ' Speakers for the year includ- ed President Dean Hubbard and Jeannine Gaa, career service director Pi Beta Alpha also took part in yearly trips to Kansas City to tour such businesses as IBM and while in the city they usually made it a point to stop at the Plaza. We always enjoyed the things we did as a group, ' ' Ri- ordan said. On the fun side, we had parties and decorated the Wesley Center for Home- coming. Pi Beta Alpha, whose mem- bership was close to 50, gave a $100 scholarship to the most active member. PI KAPPA DELTA It could be said that it was debatable whether or not Pi Kappa Delta was worth join- ing. And those who were members of the group might be the first to argue with you since they were the ones who comprised the forensics and speech team. Along with helping the speech students, they attend- ed tournaments to compete against other schools in con- tests where words were weapons. Tournaments were held in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and as far away as Wisconsin. We did much better at the tournaments than in the previous year, Adviser Wil- liam Laubert said. Unfor- tunately, our program was smaller and not as well fund- ed as other schools and that hurt us. But we usually had some students who did real well. The competition helped members gain experience speaking in front of a group. I think all campuses need- ed a group like ours, both for social and educational rea- sons, Brent Wainscott said. Everyone should have been able to speak well and handle themselves in front of a group. To help more students feel comfortable speaking in front of a group, members tutored and coached students enrolled in speech classes. The service gave the students someone to practice their speeches on and to offer pointers. If the program was success- ful, Pi Kappa Delta planned to take it University wide.

Photo by Don Carrick PRE-LAW CLL ' B Students who had law school in their future plans found Pre-Law Club to be a practical learning experience. It gave me the opportuni- ty to meet people who shared the same interest, Channon Loffredo said. Usually meeting twice monthly, members talked with others about different areas of the justice system, watched films about law stu- dents and listened to them voice their thoughts about school. Local attorney Chip Strong was a guest speaker who talked about the complexities of the legal process. Other speakers included former Northwest students who had gone on to law school. Their largest event involved a mock trial team which con- sisted of eight prosecuting at- torneys and eight defense at- torneys competing against other schools in a trial sit- uation. Pre-Law Club was for those 170 Academic Groups who weren ' t quite sure if law was the field they should choose. This club was the sup- port that students needed to decide exactly what career they wanted to pursue after graduation. PRE-MED CLL ' B Pre-professional medical students gathered to share their ideas, concerns and career goals with others in the Pre-Med Club. Future goals in the field of medicine were the focus of the group. Since members had similar interest, fellowship united the group in their plans for future medical practices. Several speakers were invit- ed to share their knowledge about many aspects concern- ing the future of doctors, psy- chologists and veterinarians, including the many steps a medical student must venture through in school before get- ting involved in a medical practice. Students also learned about the medical profession by traveling beyond Maryville. We went to the MU Medi- cal Center and veterinary school and to the osteopathic center in Kansas City, Andy Rambo said. Hoping to journey to Texas, the students raised funds by selling raffle tickets. They wanted to visit Houston to see the Rice Medi- cal Center. They also planned to go to Galveston and spend the day at NASA. Not all of us were just go- ing to be doctors so we want- ed to see various programs, Eric Bettis said. Since the group was raffling a car, members knew it was go- ing to take a lot of time to earn the money for their goal of traveling to Texas. They as- sumed that their trip would have to wait at least one more year. PI BETA ALPHA Front Row: Patrick McLaughlin, adviser: Shannan Buhrmeister, Jill Phillips.

Academic Groups 171 Academics OAD TO SUCCESS PRSSA Guess jeans, George Bush and the Kansas City Chiefs all shared at least one common practice: they employed pub- lic relations experts to present them in the best possible light. The Public Relations Stu- dent Society of America pro- vided the same type of service for campus organizations. The group ' s emphasis was not on increasing membership, but rather on increasing participa- tion by members. PRSSA set up a student-run in-house firm in which they offered public relation serv- ices to campus organizations and a few off-campus, non- profit organizations. We did public relations for groups like ROTC, Pre-Law Club and the Nodaway County Historical Council, Sarah Wil- hams said. We put up posters around campus and wrote sto- ries about the group for the Missourian. Group members also coordi- nated an open house for the Historical Council to promote the organization to the pubhc. In order to raise money to fund PRSSA activities, the group held a volleyball tourna- ment, a bake sale and collect- ed dues from each member. These funds allowed several group members to attend the Run Down Exhausted after a 10-mile run in full gear, including a 30-po nd pack, ROTC Ranger Mark Brady catches his breath in a horizontal position.

CLL ' B Diversity best described the pursuits of the Psychology So- ciology Club. From a rat bar- pressing demonstration pre- sented by Becky Freeman to a speaker who gave insight to the life of the handicapped, members gained valuable knowledge of their field. The rat experiment was used to explain the principles behind reinforcement Free- man said. The rat was condi- tioned to push the bar when he wanted to receive food. Freeman ' s rat, which she kept from experimental psy- chology classes, was also en- tered in the Rat Olympics held at Nebraska Wesleyan Uni- versity for a learning and motivation class. Tom Massingham spoke to the group about cerebral pal- sy, stressing the need for han- dicapped people to be inde- pendent. Club excursions included a trip to the West Plains Psycho- logical Convention in Lincoln, Neb., where Sue Stone pre- sented a psychology paper. It was nice to see what people were actually doing wi- thin the field of psychology rather than just reading about theory, Freeman said. A semester kick-off pizza party was held at the alumni house and during the fall a pic- nic was held at Adviser Wayne VanZomeren ' s home. ROTC RANGERS Training was the point stressed most by those in- volved with the ROTC Rangers. They were considered a social group, but their main activity was military training. The training was included in a survivial tactics weekend. Friday night they ran their own patrol for eight hours to help train for night patrol. Saturday morning was spent training with the Military Science III cadets. The Rangers provided the opposing force with their ex- ercises. They were also the force trying to catch MS I class before they could get back to their friendly forces. They worked to compete in head-to-head mini Ranger 172 Academic Groups competition. These competi- tions consisted of the grenade throw, rope bridge and others held in February in Columbia. The Rangers sometimes held get together evenings at their adviser ' s house, Cadet Ken Ratashak said. Their fall schedule consisted of preparing for the Ranger Challenge in which 2 1 Missou- ri schools participated. The Rangers also held a fun- draiser in April. They had a Turkey Shoot and the money was used to buy physical train- ing uniforms. The groups had a very active year with their training and competitions. Even the lOK road march in the Columbia competition didn ' t stop them from marching on. SIGMA DELTA CHI . Because of a $30 member- ship fee to Sigma Delta Chi and because mass communica- tion majors were already busy with practicums, the group struggled with membership. Its 10 to 15 active members were an improvement, how- ever, over 1987 ' s four. De- spite the fee to join, which was set by the national chap- ter, five students became card-carrying members this fall while others became ac- tive without joining. I wanted to boost the or- ganization and get the word out what we were there for, ' ' President Denise Pierce said. Most known for their pro- duction of Meet the Campus Press on KNWT, the broad- cast, journalism and public re- lations majors that comprised the journalists ' society aired the show as a service to the University. Their topic was al- cohol pohcies. The members toured the Conception Abbey where monks showed them their printing shop and presses.

Academic Groups 173 A C y D E M I C S OAD TO SUCCESS SMS-AHEA The Student Member Sec- tion of the American Home Economics Association was a diverse group from all areas of the Home Economics Depart- ment. Many different majors made up this group, ranging from fashion merchandising to home economics education. Several of their activities revolved around people they had met while attending con- ferences during the year. The largest conference was in February, when the group traveled to Chicago. Fashion shows for the cam- pus were also presented by the group. We tried to get the new members involved early, Amanda Blecha said. The freshmen got to do a lot of the modeling for the shows. Hard work and dedication helped this organization show its true colors in fashion shows and activities. SMSTA Education majors learned a lesson in rebuilding as a new group of officers took over the Student Missouri State Teach- ers ' Association. All education majors who met college of education re- quirements were able to join, but most members were aspir- ing elementary teachers. To stimulate ideas and learn the latest teaching techniques, students attended a four-day conference in St. Louis where they had the opportunity to purchase teaching supplies and books. One of the best things I learned was how to get or- ganized, Beth Scheulen said. I got a lot of new ideas through the workshops. Full of new knowledge, the officers held their own work- shop on campus, funding it by selling microwave popcorn to campus residents. Director of Career Services Jeannine Gaa talked to the group about resumes and job placement and education professor Dr. Stanley Wade in- formed them of education laws.

The Society for Human Resource Management was bigger and better. Not only did their name change but their determination grew along with their membership. The name changed because their national organization wanted to follow the trend towards human resource. I joined so I could make some connections and do some networking with profession- als, Jennifer Mollus said. The group wasn ' t all busi- ness. They entered the Home- coming parade clown division. Through their credit card fund raiser, the group hoped to visit some large companies in Kansas City. Mollus and another member attended workshops in St. Joseph, where they helped with registration and attend- ed meetings. The workshops f ocused on team building and benefit packaging of the ' 90s. TOWER National recognition was only one reward for the Tow- er yearbook staff. Northwest was one of only a few schools to allow jour- nalists to join practicums as freshmen. While attending a conven- tion in New Orleans, the edi- tors accepted the 1988 Pace- maker Award which was pre- sented to the top 3 percent of all yearbooks in the nation. The 1989 book received a five star All-American rating from Associated Collegiate 174 Academic Groups Press. I felt a part of the strong tradition of an award-winning book, Brandon Russell said. In the summer, the editori- al staff attended a three-day workshop in Dallas to learn new concepts in design, copy and photography. More than any other year we had a young staff, ' ' Editor in Chief Cara Moore said. We got a lot of fresh ideas and new projects going. The 1990 staff manual was created for editors and staff members to serve as the Bi- ble of yearbook. The buddy system was also implemented to improve com- munication between the edi- tors and staff. IM ' ERS1TV PLAYERS A night at the theater took on a whole new meaning when students joined Univer- sity Players. Setting stages, making costumes and acting were only some of the jobs taken on by the group of nearly 30 stu- dents. A new project had them joining CARE to help write, produce and perform skits promoting alcohol aware- ness in area schools. We had a lot of different things going on so we had committees, Cassie Price said. That way a few people concentrated on each thing. The arrival of fall meant the beginning of Lab Series, a number of one-act plays produced solely by students. Although not in charge of casting or directing, Universi- ty Players promoted the plays, worked on crews and funded the productions. By building a large film strip in front of Mary Linn Perform- ing Arts Center with paintings of cartoons, the group won a cash prize for second place in the Homecoming House Dec Competition.

To le considered a full member, hey had to complete two lasses of the same language vith the grade of an A. ALPHA PSI OMEGA Alpha Psi Omega, the honorary dramatics group, put hard work and talent forth in the Theater Department. Although there were only 10 members, their work and productions made a lot of peo- ple happy. The group ' s main project was an annual Christmas show. They performed and did the technical work on Bre- man Tbwn Musicians. The $400 in proceeds went to the Daily Forum Christmas Fund for the needy, President Laura Fehr said. Their other project was or- ganizing the department ' s banquet and awards ceremo- ny. Awards went to honor those with the most improved performance and most im- proved technical skills. Although they were acting on stage the members of Al- pha Psi Omega made people happy in real life. ALPHA TAU ALPHA Little Shop of Horrors turned into a little bit of money for Alpha Tau Alpha when they took first place in the Independent Division of the Homecoming House Dec competition. The house dec with the Lit- tle Shop theme was con- structed near the Ag Mechan- ics Building and marked an im- provement over last year ' s second-place award. Improved classroom teach- ing skills were gained by par- ticipating in the student teach- ing program. For that reason, members of ATA, an honorary fraternity for agriculture ed- ucation majors, looked for- ward to hearing student teaching stories from mem- bers who had tried it. Student teachers returned to Maryville at the end of March to discuss their ex- periences at the annual Mid- Way Conference. The business meeting was preceeded by a banquet. It was a good way to get ideas and solutions, Secre- tary Mark Wittrock said. Some of the student teachers may have had similar situa- tions and they could see how others handled the problems. ' ' Part of the money raised by the organization helped pay for members to attend a na- tional ATA conference during the national Future Farmers of America convention in Kan- sas City. ATA members were ad- dressed by State Superviser Gene Eulinger at a special meeting and also helped pro- mote a campus blood drive. BETA BETA BETA For those with weak stom- achs. Beta Beta Beta was not the organization to join. Members of the biological science honorary learned ear- ly in their major that dead animals in jars were a common sight and absolutely harmless. To obtain membership, stu- dents had to maintain a 3.0 GPA and have completed at least 12 hours in the biological sciences. With 15 active members, the group met every other week to discuss upcoming events and make plans. In the fall, members had two picnic and hayride activities at adviser Dr. Kenneth Minter ' s farm. Tri Beta members toured the farm during the hayride then roasted hot dogs and marsh- mallows over a campfire. It was really nice to get off campus and spend some time in the country, Linda Jessen said. Dr. Minter pointed out a lot of plants and animals and told us about them. For students majoring in this area. Beta Beta Beta was an excellent way to learn more about the biological sciences while having fun.

DELTA TAU ALPHA Members of Delta Tau Al- pha, an agriculture honorary, earned money so they could award a scholarship. Members raffled a trip to St. Joseph, which included dinner and a movie for two. Money was also earned when Delta Tau Alpha provid- ed cold lunches at livestock sales. Food for the lunches was donated by members wdth proceeds going toward a scholarship which was award- ed in the spring. Of course, members got much more from the organiza- tion than just a chance for a scholarship. I joined basically to get together with others who were doing well actively, Jonathon Showalter said. It was an opportunity to share ideas and concepts. GAM.VIA THET. LPSILON After a period of dormancy. Gamma Theta Upsilon, an honorary organization for ge- ology and geography majors, reunited in 1987, struggling to make a comeback. The department ' s increased enrollment gave the organiza- tion hope of getting back on its feet. Since the department had grown we anticipated a lot of new members, President Dan Bush said. With more in- terested people we could get more done. The organization inducted seven new members in the fall and plarmed to initiate more in the spring. The group also planned to create a library of college pamphlets about graduate schools. With increasing interest and a lot of enthusiasm Gamma Theta Upsilon was very op- timistic about a successful and active future. KAPP. DELTA PI The already stringent mem- bership requirements of the education honor society be- came even more restricting. Becoming a member of Kap- pa Delta Pi was made more difficult as the minimum GPA requirement was increased from 3.2 to 3.3. Despite this fact, member- ship in the educational honor society remained quite sub- stantial. The purpose of the organization was to encourage education majors to prepare for future professions. The group only met four or five times per year, but each of these meetings had a special purpose. The group ' s first meeting was the initiation ceremony that family and friends also at- tended. Other activities included the student teaching panel and the career placement program in the spring. Both of these gave members insight to what it was like to be a teacher. The meetings also aided members of Kappa Delta Pi in job place- ment by exposing them to fu- ture employment opportun- ities. At the beginning of the spring semester, past officers came to a meeting to discuss their careers with current mem- bers. Member Stephanie Epp was awarded a scholarship from the nationally affiliated Kap- pa Delta Pi organization as the result of an essay she wrote. Winning the scholarship was a really rare event, Ad- viser Dr. Carolyn McCall said.

Dr. Francis Shipley spoke ati the Founder ' s Day celebra- tion, held in the new reception room on the third floor of the Administration Building, ad- dressing the group on the ethics of home economics. We invited all the alumni members from the communi- ty to the event, President Rhonda Chittenden said. It was close to Christmas so there were plenty of goodies for everyone to eat. hi order to raise funds for their activities, society mem- bers sold nuts. Shelly Gillam, another guest, spoke to members about values and how they related to performance in the work place. Since its start, Kappa Om- icron Phi had grown to include many chapters across the nation. MATH SCIENCE TEACHERS Those who enjoyed math and science were into more than just digits and test tubes as those in the Math and Science Teaching Scholars group knew. This group was made up of scholarship recipients in the area of math and science edu- cation. Since there was a lack of math and science teachers these scholarships were given out to those who had good high school academic records in this area. The scholarships were covered by state and federal funds. This year group members at- tended a Christmas party at 180 Honoraries HONORARIES ARK OF DISTINCTION their adviser Dr. Richard Hart ' s home, where they munched on goodies and helped decorate the Christmas tree. Education administrator Dr. Stanley Wade spoke to the group about what their fu- tures in the teaching profes- sion. His lecture included tips on what superintendents look for in prospective teachers. PHI ALPHA THETA Students with similar in- terests in the past who were looking to the future found it fit to seek membership in the selective Phi Alpha Theta or- ganization. This group sought promotion and recognition of its history and social science degree-seeking members. Members had a lot of ad- vantages by being in the or- ganization, John Sickels said. I think it gave us a chance to get to know the professors better and meet students with similar interests in history. Entrance into the group re- quired a 3.1 history grade point average as well as a 3.0 GPA overall after 12 hours in history. The group ' s activities cen- tered around two main func- tions: the annual History Day competition and the Thanks- giving smorgasbord, Taste of History. On History Day group mem- bers helped students from area high schools who came to to have their history projects judged for competition. I think just being able to help with things Uke that im- proved organizational skills, Sickles said. You had to work with everyone to get things flowing smoothly. Taste of History included different types of foods from all periods of time and places around the world. Phi Alpha Theta played a key role in or- ganizing the event as well as promoting it to University faculty and students. Helping meet the cost of tu- ition and expenses also played an important part in the or- ganization. Most members received some type of history scholarship, determined by faculty members of the Histo- ry Department. In the end, Phi Alpha Theta offered students an honorary society to take part in as well as an opportunity to promote historical knowledge. PHI ETA SIGMA Attention freshmen Dean ' s List students, there ' s a club just for you! Phi Eta Sigma was a freshmen honorary club for those who accumulated grade point averages of 3.5 or above in one of their first two semesters. Phi Eta Sigma members were involved in several new activities which included en- tering a jalopy in the Home- coming contest. At one of the group ' s monthly meetings, Dr. Richard Fulton spoke about programs which allowed stu- dents to spend time studying in London and Washington, D.C. The group ' s main activity was the annual spring induc- tion and dinner for new mem- bers. One problem faced by Phi Eta Sigma was a lack of returning members and another was inability to con- tact previous inductees. Most students stayed on the semester after they were inducted, but after that it was hard to get them to attend meetings, President Jason White said. For those freshmen who achieved academic success in one of their first two sem- esters. Phi Eta Sigma served as source of pride. Oh, Nuts Before going door to door, Kappa Omicron Phi members Suzanne Higgins, Ad iser Beth Goudge, Ca- thy Pogue and Shelly Brobec in- spect their merchandise.

The men ' s musical fraternity walked away with individual competition honors and won the People ' s Choice Award. Written by Tim Beach, the skit was perfected in nearly four weeks and on some nights took as many as three hours of practice. Many times when we had meetings we cut them short so we could practice, Duane Havard said. The skit was well written and was a lot of fun. The fraternity was busy out- side their singing perfor- mances with a reunion and dinner during Homecoming. Sigma Alpha lota, the wom- en ' s musical organization, helped with the event for all music alumni. The annual Sweetheart Dance was held in February also in conjunction with Sigma Alpha Iota. The fraternity devoted a great amount of time to the Music Department itself with an appreciation dinner that was held at the Methodist Church for all music faculty and sponsors. The spring music contest gave the members a chance to lend their assistance to the musical event for high school students. If you had a love for mus- ic. Phi Mu Alpha was a great organizatio n, Havard said. The best thing for me was the sense of brotherhood. We did a lot of things together and it was nice to know you could count on your brothers and the commradeship within the Music Department. The only requirement for membership in Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia was to be involved in a music ensemble. The other unofficial require- ment was an appreciation of music. PI If EPSILDN Qualifying for membership in an honorary was not an easy thing to do, and getting into Pi Mu Epsilon was no exception. To be initiated in the math honorary as a sophomore, stu- dents had to achieve a 3.5 GPA in math and have at least nine completed credit hours in the department. It was really hard to be a member at the sophomore lev- el, President Jayma Sand- quist said. Having nine hours of math at that point was real- ly hard. The University sponsored a Math Olympiad involving numerous northwest Missouri schools but members volun- tered their time writing math problems and making sure it would be a success.

Many students found mem- bership to be a big plus in their future plans. I thought it helped to have a professional organization for my career choice, Sandquist said. It gave me a chance to talk to and share things with others in my chosen field. With hopes for a successful career in the world of num- bers. Pi Mu Epsilon members continued to set high stan- dards for themselves and their club. PI OMEGA PI For those pursuing a bust ness career, Pi Omega Pi was a chance to gain a wealth of information. Alumna Celeste Taylor and her husband Claude willed a quarter of a million dollars to the organization. Members decided to put the money in the bank and have awarded $500 a semester to senior members who remained ac- tive in the group. 182 Honoraries ' It was an added incentive to keep my grades up, Beth Harrison said. It was some- thing I wasn ' t expecting and it was a great help. The organization inducted eight new members in the fall and began plans to bring not- ed business speaker Paul Cur- ro to campus again. The group invited him to speak each year and the speech, centered ' around the job search, was I open to the public. j ' ' We always had such a good I turnout when he spoke, Har- rison said. Mr. Curro gave a lot of valuable information about getting a job, which was especially important for grad- uating seniors. Pi Omega Pi offered busi- ness majors opportunities that were too valuable to pass up, and encouragement to reach their goals. PI SIGMA ALPHA Pi Sigma Alpha was an honorary for political scien- tists that was indeed an honor to be part of. To obtain membership stu- dents had to have completed at least 12 hours in political sciences and have a 3.0 GPA. Though the group was neu- tral concerning political issues, many members were active in other political organizations as well. One new member was in- itiated each fall, and though there was a $15 membership fee, it was only paid upon entrance. The fee seemed to be an obstacle for some people, President Sunil Ahuja said. But it was certainly worth it because most graduate schools looked very highly upon hon- orary organizations. Though the group was small, members gained valuable as- sets that opened endless op- portunities.

PSI CHI According to precedent, new members of Psi Chi Psy- chology Honorary needed to complete at least eight hours of work in the Psychology Department. But since there were no returning members, mostly due to graduation, the organization was forced to improvise. Prospective members were required to attend two meet ings before they could be inducted. Because it was a whole new chapter, the group spent most of the year discussing new membership requirements and goals. One project the club found important was donating mon- ey to the Red Cross for the dis- aster rehef fund following the ' California earthquake. I really liked Psi Chi, President Melissa Mackey- Murphy said. It was a lot of fun and put a lot of emphasis on academic achievement as well. One step at a time, members helped the organization grow in hopes of returning it to the traditional high standards while adding new ideas. SIGMA ALPHA IOTA For about 30 women, Sigma Alpha Iota offered a chance to share their interest in music. Friendships were the best part of being in Sigma Alpha Iota, Susan Riffle said. You put a bunch of girls togethei with one thing in common and it was amazing how well we stuck together. Since Sigma Alpha Iota onl rushed in the spring, there was a limited number whcj could join.

They sponsored a picnic and on Homecoming evening, they helped put together a dinner and dance for all returning alumni. SIGMA GAMMA EPSILON Adding a sparkle to earth sciences, Sigma Gamma Epsi- lon participated in several ac- tivities that enhanced not only their organization, but the en- tire department. To fulfill membership re- quirements students had to be geology geography majors with a 3.0 in major classes and a 2.67 cumulative GPA. The club raised $168 from a plant sale, which they used to buy items from the annual Gem and Mineral Show in Kansas City. The stones were exhibited in a showcase in Garrett-Strong and were even- tually placed in the building ' s museum. Many students viewed their membership as a great asset to their studies as well as their social lives. The club was not only a great way to get more in- volved in the department, but it also helped me meet a lot of people with the same in- terests, Jeff Gadt said. SIGMA PI SIGMA Surviving another year of change, the presidential schol- arship honorary Sigma Pi Sig- ma adjusted to their new roles on campus. The 4-year-old organization ran into financial prob- lems and was forced to reor- ganize their activities. There was no longer a connection with the Hub and Tklent De- velopment Center; however, each member had to choose a special project that required 10 hours of work per week. These projects were pro- posed by faculty who sent in requests for surveys, research or any job that required as- sistance. President Julie Schie- ber worked in Dean Hubbard ' s office gathering research. Membership had its privi- leges, such as the recognition of being a group based on scholarship, but naturally, there were small problems. ' ' hi order to be a member we had to be very involved in high school, which meant we were really involved in college, Schieber said. It sure made it hard to schedule meetings. SIGMA TAU DELTA Sigma Tau Delta, which stood for sincerity, truth and design, was an honor group that recognized students who excelled in English and literature. It was a great group and a lot of fun knowing there were people out there to talk to about the same subjects we liked, Al Juhl said. In order to raise funds, the organization sold books col- lected from departments on campus. The books were then separated by categories and set up on tables in the Ball- room. To round out the year, Sig- ma Tau Delta had a formal ceremony and banquet to in- itiate six new members.

' S Special Inte res t - YOUR OWN THING ABC Formerly Harambee, the Al- liance of Black Collegians changed its name because ABC groups were more preva- lent on other campuses, ac- cording to member Belinda Patton. However, even with the name change, the organization found it difficult to enlist members. Just because it was called the Alliance of Black Col- legians, people thought we were a limited group, Patton said. We were trying to let people know it was not limit- ed, and we would have loved their participation. We need- ed participation from every- body. The ABC chapter initiated a membership drive during the spring semester, urging mem- bers to invite their friends to meetings. Those eight mem- bers bringing the most guests attended a conference in Ames, Iowa, of ABC chapters from Big Eight schools at the expense of the local group. Again this year, ABC spon- sored both a Martin Luther King Day and Black History Week on campus. Campus participation in the celebra- tion of King ' s birthday was better this year than last, Pat- ton said. With it being on a Monday and at the end of a three-day weekend, we had a pretty good turnout, Patton said. In the fall, ABC also hosted a Gospel Extravaganza with ABC chapters from Northeast Missouri State University and Central Missouri State Univer- sity participating. ALPHA ANGELS Quality, rather than quanti- ty, was a popular catch phrase for the Alpha Angels as they inducted only two pledges into their all ready small little sis- ter organization. We had a lot of girls in- terested, but we wouldn ' t select just anyone, Ronda Cra wford said. Our small number didn ' t hurt because we looked for quality rather than quantity. According to pledge Darleen Wright, Alpha Angels tried to determine what kind of mem- bers the rushees would be by asking several questions dur- ing an interview process. They tried to get to know our personalities, Wright said. The Angels helped their brother fraternity. Alpha Phi Alpha, by selling raffle tickets for a cash prize. The money they raised went to the Boys ' Club in St. Louis. They also had a bake sale and donated pro- ceeds to the local Boy Scout troop. Another highlight for the An- gels was traveling to an Alpha Phi Alpha State Convention at Lincoln University, Jefferson City, in March. ALPH. Pill ALPHA As a chapter of only two years, the Alpha Phi Alphas drafted their constitution while scheduling social activi- ties. The chapter was originated in Iowa at Cornelle Universi- ty by seven men. One of those men, Tory Tucker, came to Northwest in 1986 and began working to open a chapter. The fraternity rapidly grew to 10 members. One project the group proudly sponsored was the Miss Black and Gold Pageant. The title was awarded to Shauntae Laird, chosen a week before Homecoming on the basis of scholarship and ta- lent. Mark Martin said they planned to make it an annual event. Alpha Phi Alpha worked with Alliance of Black Col- legians to coordinate an activi- ty in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on his nation- al holiday in January. They gathered around the Victory Bell and sang the Black Na- tional Anthem. In recognition of Black His- tory Month in February, the club invited several motiva- tional speakers, including Carl Boyd and Wes Brown, to edu- cate all students, not just members. A $ I donation was all it took to enter the chance drawing oi $200, coordinated by the frat ernity. One hundred dollars ol the money they made was do nated to the Boys ' Club in St. Louis.

Team members usually worked on the car Monday nights and some members also worked overtime. Sometimes we would come in outside of meeting times, President Kevin Bell said. Whenever I needed a study break or had free time I would work on it. Although an economy rally was usually entered to test the efficiency of the finished product, members contem- plated the possibility of testing this one themselves.

Since Thanksgiving was im portant holiday for Ameri cans, the members held theii own Thanksgiving dinner Committee members cookec up a feast which included both traditional American Thanks giving foods and native Chinese dishes. Since CSO members felt thai exercise was an important part of an overall plan foi well-being they exercised to gether in the gym regularly Basketball, tennis, racquetbal and table tennis were some ol the activities in which the group took part. At least once a month the club rented video tapes and watched movies in the Union, such as Three Men and a Baby and High Spirit. Belonging to a group such a CSO provided Chinese stu- dents with a feeling of home in a place that was very far from home. 188 Special Interest s p ECiAL Interest - ■■ :, J:.

YOUR OWN THING Skating Straight Members of Chi Phi Chi fraterni- ty invest time on a Monday night to socialize at a skating party held at the Skate Country Roller Rink in Mary ille. The party was a non- alcholic event. Photo by Brandon Russell (ill PHI CHI Chi Phi Chi, a Northwest founded non-alcoholic, co-ed fraternity, had a goal to be- come a national organization. Several members made a presentation to the Central Missouri State University Stu- dent Senate after students there showed an interest in the group. Northwest mem- bers helped them plan a spring Rush and get a chapter started. A co-ed fraternity at a New York university also expressed interest. Chi Phi Chi planned to expand to include it as well as more regional schools. We felt like it was a good organization and had been positive for the members here, Chris Whiting said. I ' m sure there were people on other campuses who would have enjoyed this type of organization. Not only did the group ex- pand into other universities, but it more than tripled its membership. The pledge class was the largest ever, bringing membership from 20 to 70. Each pledge was adopted by an active member that served as the rushee ' s parent. The parents kept their identity a secret for nearly a week and finally revealed who they were at a parent party. The parents checked up on their children and talked over any concerns or problems they might have had. Pledgeship lasted eight weeks and came to an end at an activation party. The pledges took an oath and received gifts from their parents. Chi Phi Chi also held a wide variety of functions, including a Halloween party and a Christmas party. Members also went roller skating and held an informal dance where An- drea Bodenhausen and Darrin McBroom were presented with plaques and named out- standing pledges. The group continued to make donations to Camp Op- purtunity, a place for abused children. They also planned to adopt a portion of 71 highway for trash pick-up. To raise money, the pledge class worked concessions at a Chiefs game in November. With hope of nation-wide expansion, Chi Phi Chi looked ahead with excitement and optimism. FLAGCORPS Hard work and long hours of practice were necessary ingre- dients for success. However, when working with a group, those qualities didn ' t guaran- tee that everything would run smoothly. For the Flag Corps, commu- nication and group unity were the elements that made the team work. We had such a good spirit of cooperation and so much fun that we got everything done without any hassles, Co-captain Monica Langin said. We were all really good friends. We went to each other when we had problems and spent a lot of our free time together. During the season the corps spent as many as 10 to 15 hours a week in addition to band practice time preparing their routines. The group of women per- formed between two and three times per game; enter- taining the crowds with their routines pre-game, at half- time and sometimes during time-outs. The corps began their season the day before school began and ended it after the last home football game. ' We spent a lot of time prac- ticing, Langin said. And we all worked together to make up our own routines. Hard work proved to be fun for flag corps members be- cause spending time with good friends wasn ' t really like working at all.

For the first time, ISO won the Homecoming Supremacy ) award in the Independent Di- vision. Their float, Around the World in 80 Days, earned second place and ISO swept all three placings in the group clown category. Members celebrated the accomplish- ment by having a picnic at Camp Shawnee near Kansas City. KALEIDOSCOPE PEACE Webster defined kaleido- scope as a series of changing colors, events or phases, so it seemed appropriate that a group whose concerns co- vered issues pertinent to the survival of the planet Earth be named Kaleidoscope Peace. Specifically, some of their concerns were world hunger, nuclear disarmament and en- vironmental issues. The group had been a branch of Amnesty Interna- tional, but officially spht from the organization in January. Kaleidoscope Peace mem- bers participated in a food drive to benefit Maryville ' s Food Pantry in the fall. They also went to Kansas City for a food walk for which pledges contributed money per miles walked. Proceeds from the walk went to relieve world hunger. The club also worked to be- come informed about bio- degradable products and spread that information on campus. I thought people in gener- al were conscientious about the environment, Steve Har- vey said. Most were just not informed. M-CLL ' B The M-CIub, consisting of athletes who had lettered in a varsity sport, raised money by selling T-shirts and other cam- pus paraphernalia at ball games. Part of their proceeds were donated to California earthquake victims. Members received an addi- tional $300 for taking second place in the Homecoming Var- iety Show for their skit ' ' Three Coaches and a Bearcat. Formal monthly meetings taught students procedures not learned on the court or field. I learned to be more or- ganized, Chaddrick Nelson said. We had certain rules to follow in conducting the meetings. M. KiNG A Choice Kaleidescope Peace members hand out pro-choice literature be- fore the Sarah Weddington lecture on campus.

NORTHWEST FLYERS Non-bikers may have thought that cycling was an easy way to exercise without buying expensive shoes and equipment: exercise without pain, cramps and sweat. But when taken seriously, the sport was far from passive and inexpensive. Members of the Northwest Flyers Cycling Club didn ' t nec- cesarily need real bikes which ran in cost from $200 to $500; any kind of bike was ac- ceptable. If a member or prospective member needed a bike the group found one for him. The Flyers usuaDy met twice a month and hiked 25 miles. We didn ' t really cycle for the competition, Pete Zilliox said. It was more for recrea- tion and fitness. The two main cycling events members anticipated and trained for were the North- west Flyers Fall Century Tour in September, and the Febru- ary Frostbite Ride. These events were held in the Maryville area and members, along with other bikers, cy- cled a 20 to 100 mile long mapped-out path. In order to demonstrate the benefits of cycling and in- terest students in the sport, the Flyers sponsored roller races and bicycle maintenance presentations in the Den.

Twice a month members met to discuss projects and offer new ideas to the group. Most members belonged to other agriculture-related clubs but felt that being a North- west Farrier was unique. I joined because I ' m active with horses, Dustin Sheldon said. It has a lot to do with horses and farrier craftsman- ship. Interested in learning more about horses, the Northwest Farriers traveled to Oklahoma City to attend the World Quar- terhorse Show in November. In February, they held their annual all-day workshop in the Administration Building, which featured a guest speak- er from England as well as other educational lectures. Spring plans included a horse show to be presented at the community building. With a number of successful projects behind them and more in the making, the Northwest Farriers organiza- tion was up and running. 102 RIVER CLUB Some might think that join- ing a group called the 102 River Club would be for the birds, but those in the club knew it was for the bird watchers. Although the group didn ' t deal exclusively with bird life, many of their fall and spring activities seemed to revolve around our feathered friends. One fall project that oc- cupied several weekends for 102 members was helping wildlife officials at the Squaw Creek Refuge near Mound City check banded geese. This involved coming in close contact with up to 50,000 ducks and 150,000 geese per day. Another activity for the group was Eagle Day at the Squaw Creek Refuge. We helped visitors spot the birds and pointed out the difference between juveniles and adults, Chad Paup said. Those who helped out at Ea- gle Day received a signed drawing from famed wildlife artist Charles Schwartz. Instead of hitting the books on the Sunday of finals week, club members hit the road. That was the day they partic- ipated in the Audabon Socie- ty Christmas Bird Count in Nodaway County. Members covered a 15-mile- wide radius in Nodaway County from sun- rise to sunset, counting and identifying every songbird they could find. In all, they spotted 48 different species. They also spent a couple of weekends stuffing bags full of litter at Nodaway Lake. RACQUETBALL CLL ' B Having a ball: the desire to do so seemed to be the only motivation necessary for join- ing the Northwest Racquetball Club. The organization held no meetings, collected no dues and was open to all students and staff members. The only requirement was that they en- joy playing the sport of racquetball. The group was very loose- ly structured, Dr. John Rhoades said. Our main goal was to promote interest in rac- quetball and better ourselves at the game at the same time. ' ' The Racquetball Club, which was made up of 10 to 15 active members, frequently entered Making Racket In the process of getting a goo( workout, Dr John Rhoades professor of technology, practice his backhand swing.

STEPPERS Excitement and anticipation were two words that came into the minds of the Bearcat teppers when they spoke of an accomplishment which no other Northwest squad had achieved; they went to nation- al competition in Dallas. In August, the Steppers went to National Cheerleader Association summer camp for the first time and qualified for national competition in Janu- ary. At the camp, Century Law- son was nominated for All- American honors because her performance stood out to the judges. I was pushing for it be- cause I knew what NCA was looking for, Lawson said. I went in hoping that they would pick me. Stepper Cindy Heiman said they were excited about going to Dallas because it was the first time they had advanced that far in competition. In order to qualify for na- tionals, the squad performed six routines and each had to learn a routine individually. The competition was com- prised of a three minute rou- tine. The women were re- quired to use pompons for at least one of those minutes. The Steppers showed that with a little determination and 1 lot of hard work, goals could be achieved. That was proven by their national qualification. FARRIER SCIENCE CLUB Front Row: Janet Stolinski, treas.; Angle Thompson, sec; Ed Quillen, pres. ; Nate Allen and Doug Butler, adviser.

Students found their own niche from friends, word of mouth or special events the group sponsored. Then they jumped in and got involved. I ran cross country and track, M-Club member Chad Nel- son said. M-Club was a group just for letter- wearers, a group of people with interests similar to my own. But outside involvement took several hours of extra time and commitment to attend meetings and help organize special activities. We had to practice every day, Flag Corps member Jen Knight said. But I liked to be involved because it gave me a sense of satisfaction. Students involved in special interest groups felt that the ex- tra time involved was worth it because they had received so much in return for their hard work. Being involved has made me better organized, Nelson said. And I gained some leadership abilities that I would not have gained outside the group. Others felt they had something to offer through their involve- ment. I liked to share with others my own experiences of Uving and traveling, International Student Organization member Sudewa Wanigasinghe said. We also sponsored an annual din- ner and talent show to show Americans different cultures. Kaleidoscope Peace allowed students to become more aware of the importance of the environment and to teach others what they learned. Marching to the beat of the same dniinmer.

I got to meet people but I also learned discipline and pa- tience, Alpha Angel Ronda Crawford said. It really helped my personality. And many thought the outside involvement actually im proved academic performance. Although these groups were created for people with similai interests, each group had a diversity of members. They worked for the same goals and believed in commitment to their group and its members. 194 Commitment Bearcat High Performance Team member Terry Milam worA ' s on an aerodynamic car built by group members.

The Bap tist Student Union attemptec to play a key role in tha aspect by urging students ti embark on a journey inwan and a journey outward. We didn ' t want people t( be alone on weekends anc they always knew BSU was ; place they could be amon; friends and talk, Co-pres ident Greg Thompson said. The lure to be among friend: may have been key in th growth of BSU. While then were no requirements fo membership, the weekly at tendance for worship service: 196 Religious Groups Religious HOLLY INVOLVED increased by 43 members on the average. A desire to increase weekly attendance and introduce a relationship with Christ to more students prompted members to invite friends, sponsor a campus revival and send out newsletters. Money was raised through a rock ' r. ' roll-a-thon and sing- ing telegrams on Valentine ' s Day which enabled students to go on summer missions. Therefore, BSU members jour- neyed outward not only to their fellow students, but to people across the nation. Through fellowship and Bi- ble study, students also took a journey inward to learn more about themselves and the role of practical Christianity in modern society. CHRIST ' S WAY IW In an effort to spread the word about God, Christ ' s Way Inn President Doug Moore set a goal to have one new person participate each Wednesday in Bible study and to double attendance. Christ ' s Way Inn members visited area churches through- out the year, providing a part or all of the church service. Roger Charley, campus min- ister, usually preached while students presented skits, pro- vided music or shared testi- monies. After one semester, Moore said the group was closer to meeting his attendance goals, which were boosted by a January ski trip to Minnesota. Fourteen students went on the Christmas break getaway. In February the group con- tinued a long-honored tradi- tion by hosting a banquet for area widows. We tried to organize things so people could think about their faith and ask questions if they doubted something, Joel Anderson said. While the officers deemed their organization as growing, they collectively agreed that Christianity was just as strong in small groups. FCA Walking into a meeting of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes was a unique ex- perience, even for its mem- bers. FCA was an 8-year-old non- denominational student group which held weekly worship meetings in the student union. Each meeting, which was planned by a leadership com- mittee, was different from the others, sometimes consisting of songs and a special speaker or group discussions and Bible study. We had the state director of FCA come to one of our meetings before Christmas, Joel Hughes said. He was a really great speaker. The chapter also went to William Jewell College to act as huddle leaders during the Weekend of Champions, which allowed area high school groups to interact. Closer to home, the group raised interest when they sponsored Fortress, a contem- porary Christian musical group, to sing in the union Ballroom in January. It was hoped that such events, along with promotion- al flyers which advertised the meetings, would keep the group growing, in number as well as in spirit. LIAHONA Liahona, the campus reli- gious youth group for the Re- organized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, met twice a month to share thoughts, words and have fel- lowship with one another. During the course of the year the group had several get-togethers outside their regular meetings, which in- cluded church dinners, roller skating and parties. A Halloween party was held at the home of the group ' s sponsors, Clarence and Diane Gould. Liahona members dressed themselves in weird costumes and engaged in an evening of playing card games, munching Halloween treats and listening to music. Group members prepared suppers at the church in ord- er to raise funds to send four Liahona members to the RLDS Older Youth Retreat near Cameron. One member who attended the retreat was uncomfortable with the activities scheduled there. A bunch of it was kind of weird actually, Tim Davis said. Whether or not the retreat was a good or bad experience, Davis seemed to enjoy mem- bership in the group along with other RLDS youth and people of other persuasions.

LUTHEFIW CA. 1PUS CENTER Home is where the heart is and for some students that meant the Lutheran Campus Center. The Center held weekly de votions on Wednesdays and $1 suppers every Sunday, but of- fered a place for students to meet any day of the week. Students often gathered to play Bible Pictionary or go bowling. On bowling trips stu dents paid only half of the cost to bowl and the center cover ed the rest. Sunday evening suppers were a fun and successful ac tivity for the group. Different people prepared the food for the dollar sup- pers, Lisa Watson said. Sometimes we had home made pizza and occasionally Oriental for a change. Another major project for the group was a retreat with other campus centers held in St. Louis in February. Four students chose to live at the Center so they could be closer to activities and events. Whether at home in body or in spirit, students were able to escape the hassles and frustra- tions of campus life and eryoy the fellowship of their peers at the Lutheran Campus Center. NEWM.W CENTER Members of Newman Center branched out to make them- selves known on campus and throughout the state. Students in the Catholic or- ganization became involved on campus by building a house dec for Homecoming and or- ganizing a raffle. The grand prize was a two-night stay in. Kansas City. In the fall and spring, they sponsored a wine and cheese party for faculty at the New- man Center. They also invited 198 Religious Groups Religious HOLLY INVOLVED WESLEY CENTER Cookies For Charity Newman Center Secretary Jill Al- len and Treasurer Joe Niswonger prepare cookies for an upcoming bake sale. Proceeds sent members to a Catholic student conference. Photo by Todd Weddle Angelia Knight, a University counselor, to speak on growth and changes in relationships. To help bridge the gap be- tween campus and communi- ty, the Newman Center col- lected for the Food Pantry. I wanted Maryville to know what Newman was and to create a good atmosphere for students, President Hei- di Wittrock said. In the fall, members held a retreat at the Center. They planned projects for the semester, sponsored a dance and winterized the house. In February, members at- tended the Missouri Associa- tion for Catholic College Stu- dents three-day retreat at a St. Louis seminary. Later in the semester they took part in a traditional re- treat with University of Missouri-Kansas City ' s New- man Center. The two groups cheered the Kansas City Roy- als and went to Worlds of Fun. RELIGIOI ' S LIFE COUNCIL Religious Life Council unit- ed all religiously oriented groups for at least one melt- ing pot event per semester. Working hard to promote understanding and fellowship among Christian groups, the council received a little oppo- sition from Mother Nature. While trying to have a din- ner and hay ride, heavy fall rains put a damper on the activities. The dinner was held regard- less of the rain on the sched- uled night, but the hayride was postponed until rosier weather came along. Nearly 50 people attended the bar- beque dinner, which was pre- pared on the porch at the Newman Center. We had chicken and chips, Julie Walker said. It was kind of funny really, all of us crowding onto that little porch. The hayride wasn ' t quite as well attended since people already had things planned for the night it was rescheduled. The Rehgious Life Council held Religious Emphasis Day in the spring of each year. Workshops and a progressive dinner were two features of this program. Whether seeking fellowship with peers or the elderly, through music, ministry or witnessing, the Wesley Center offered students the opportu- nity to work toward becom- ing whole persons. As their theme reflected, members of the Methodist foundation offered a variety of programs for Christians. Sharing joys, concerns and prayers at Wednesday serv- ices gave students a spiritual lift amidst their hectic weeks. Midweek Worship gave me the break 1 needed to balance out my week, Peer Minister Janice Bunner said. Living at Wesley helped keep God and my life in better perspective. ' ' Additional programs includ- ed visits to the Maryville Health Care Center to help residents celebrate birthdays and adopting a grandparent. Students could also join a friendship group which met weekly to discuss day-to-day challenges and triumphs. I really enjoyed doing things for the foundation, Peer Minister Terry Petersen said. It went back to the commitment I had for the Methodist Church, and serving at Wesley helped me fulfill that. Hayrides and float trips with various state university Wes- ley foundations helped stu- dents meet other college stu- dents and enjoy fellowship out of the usual church setting. Bunner said the informality of Wesley ' s activities allowed students to be themselves regardless of their denomin- ation. Religrious Groups 199 Campus ministries strengtliGn faith and encourage students to SOUL SEARCH ] bv Teresa Mattson [ .,-. ■ -.- -.rvf r : ' .-.« MAYBE THEY WERE CONTINUING A LIFETIME COMMITMENT TO A FAITH THEY FIRST Ex- perienced as children and had carried throughout high school. Maybe they had always been church-goers but had never made strong commitments. Or maybe the campus ministries opened new doors to religions they had never taken an interest in before Students seeking fellowship and refuge from the noise of the residence halls could always find open doors at x ' arious student ministrv centers These centers offered often worn-looking but comfortable fur- niture, cooking facilities, study rooms and, best of all, close friends. They also offered home away from home to many. Penni Riegel, an active Fellowship of Christian Athletes mem- ber, found it easy to get involved in the group. Everyone was so open, Riegel said. They just took me in with open arms. The availability also drew me to FCA. Since it was on campus, I didn ' t have to worry about getting a ride. Almost everyone involved in a campus ministry had a differ- ent reason for their attraction to the organization. Some liked the feeUngs of closeness they received as group members; others felt the fellowship brought them into closer relationships with God. Many also came from different backgrounds and levels of re- ligious activity. Sherry Adelman, for instance, was raised in a Jewish household but became a Christian as a high school juruor She claimed the Baptist Student Union was one of the best sup- port groups for her new faith. I had that close-knit group that kept me accountable for my actions, Adelman said. It just changed my whole attitude no matter who I was with. Her change in attitude wasn ' t all due to friends with a com- mon faith. She was also thankful to be in a setting where she could practice the rehgion she wanted to. When I was in high school, I wasn ' t allowed to go to church, and when I came to college, the first thing I wanted to do was find one I was happy with, Adelman said. For others, such as Heidi Wittrock, the reinforcing religious organizations were a continuation of a life-long faith. Neverthe- less, activities with others of the same faith outside of church services proved to be rewarding and uplifting for her Religion was always important to me, Wittrock said. Be- ing a part of Newman gave me a chance to be closer to God because I did a lot more activities with Him as the center It built up my prayer time and my devotion to God. Doug Moore, Christ ' s Way Inn president, found his devotion to God build due to his activity in campus ministry. He said the group helped keep him on the straight and narrow. By keeping their doors open to the long-time faithful as well as those searching for a certain meaning to their lives, campus ministries opened the way for the student body to better un- derstand the role of God.

However, the trend seemed to be away from manic party- ing, and the University ' s dry campus policy left the Buck- horn Boys with only a large mural of an antler-decked deer on the stairway of the se- cond floor to remind them of their legacy. A reminder to pay attention to cleanliness came in the form of points toward winning Dieterich ' s house contest. The men also accumulated points for participation in programs and activities. The floor end- ed up with $1,000 as winners of the contest. We liked to have a clean floor, Joe Niswonger said. Sometimes we had to prod people to pick up after them- selves, though. They put the prize money to use by purchasing a micro- wave oven for the lounge and a Nintendo and games for the enjoyment of second floor residents. The Buckhorn Boys also par- ticipated in several activities with their sister floor, seventh BrCKHORN BOL Dieterich Hall ' s Buckhorn Boys Joe Niswonger and Joel Robertson engage in a round of hot Ninten- do competition.

Lounge doors on second floor Dieterich were locked from 10 p.m. to 1 p.m. and participants ordered pizza, played games and watched movies. The group sponsored their third annual softball tourna- ment in the spring at Beal Park, which attracted teams from Iowa, St. Joseph and Maryville. DIETERICH HALE Men living in Dieterich Hall were offered more than just a place to live. Dieterich Hall Council offered a variety of social activities and education- al opportunities for its resi- dents. Traditional programs includ- ed selling activity cards which allowed students to use hall equipment such as the pool ta- ble and weight room. Several people were invited to speak to the group. A state trooper spoke to residents about operating vehicles while under the influence of alco- hol, and Danny Lui, a native of Hong Kong, also spoke to the men about his homeland, China. We tried to have an activi- ty each week, Joel Robertson said. Then we submitted those activities to RHA to compete for program of the month. The Council also took ad- vantage of their newly ac- quired microwave at Diet- erich ' s front desk by selling flavored microwave popcorn to raise funds for programs. Whether raising funds or simply making friends, Diet- erich Hall Council provided an opportunity for residents to interact while improving resi- dential life. FARSIDE HOUSE Life was as fun as a Farside cartoon for the guys on third floor Dieterich — otherwise known as the Farside House, Aside from the Farside characters painted on the stairwell, those who inhabited this deck of the dorm seemed determined to make the hours they spent in their home away from home enjoyable. Most oi their activities revolved a- round relaxation. A scavenger hunt with theii sister floor, sixth Franken, sent the group of snoops on a mission around campus in search of obscure dates on buildings and other such per- plexities . A Secret Santa program helped Farsiders and front se cond Hudson women make it through the end of the extend- ed fall semester when every- 202 Residence Halls one on campus had the urge to pack it up and head home for the hoUdays instead of study for finals. We drew names and ex- changed gifts and hints for a week, Mike Brinker said. It was just little things like can- dy bars, but it helped us get the Christmas spirit. As third-place winners in the Hall Council House of the Year Contest, third floor Diet- erich had an extra $500 to spend. The money went to- ward the purchase of a new VCR and Nintendo. FRAN KEN HALL Members of Franken Hall Council strived to involve resi- dents of the hall as well as stu- dents all over campus in their activities. The hall held a free mas- querade ball on Halloween night. Prizes were given for best costumes. The dance Icist- ed from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. November saw Council members imprisoning their peers when they held a jail-n- bail in the Spanish Den. For $1, students could throw someone in jail. If they didn ' t want to serve one hour of im- prisonment, bail cost $5. Phones were available for inmates to make calls to raise the bail. Over $200 was collected from the event, President Kim Schinzel said. We were extremely pleased with the outcome. To increase involvement, the council held pizza parties for activity card holders, made VCR rental available, and phowed movies in the hall jlounge. j Members also sponsored seminars covering date rape, laerobics and weightlifting throughout the year. Guest speakers conducted the pro- ;grams and everyone was invit- i?d to attend. BUCKHORN BOYS Front Row: .Joseph Niswonger, vice pres.; Michael Finney, pres. ; and Bill Fletcher, treas. sec.

Residence Halls 203 Residence Halls AKING IT HOME MILLIKAN HALL Striving to provide informa- tion and activities for all stu- dents as well as its residents, Millikan Hall Council conduct- ed campus-wide programs and activities within the hall. Teamed with the Interna- tional Student Organization, the council held a Christmas Around the World Dinner in the Union Ballroom. Students from all over the world pre- pared dishes from their native lands. This provided an oppor- tunity for students to ex- perience unfamiliar foods and customs. All-calls were made and pos- ters were scattered through- out the halls in order to spread the word about upcoming activities. Hall council participation was a good way to meet and get to know people, R.A. Dulcie Hanson said. We hoped advertising the events would get more people to join and get in on the fun. In order to keep up with cur- rent issues, hall council asked guest speakers to conduct seminars on hot topics such as date rape, alcoholism, sexual- ly transmitted diseases and fit- ness programs. The group also offered a 30-minute aerobic workout each night in the hall lounge. We were looking for the in- terest of the group, Hanson said. So when different situ- ations came up we tried to cover them. Hall council also got resi- dents in the holiday spirit by going Christmas caroling and sponsoring a Thanksgiving food drive for the needy. PERRIN HALL One goal of Perrin Hall Council was to make Perrin more like a home than a resi- dence hall. Programs and ac- tivities were organized to get residents involved. Renovating various areas of the hall were some of the major projects the council worked on. After voting to renovate the desk area, residents saw new supply cabinets, sanded and varnished shelves, a small stereo and a fresh coat of paint at their front desk. Air conditioning was pro- posed for the main lounge as well as carpeting in the hall, breezeways and possibly the residents ' rooms. Although a special guest weekend last spring didn ' t at- tract as many participants as they had hoped, another one would probably be held. Vice President Val Behrens said. For the weekend, residents invited their parents and friends to activities which in- cluded a barbeque, bowling and breakfast, Behrens said. Thirty guests and residents participated, but we had hoped for a bigger turnout. Another activity. Gimme a Break, a week-long program on stress, featured a different topic each night. There were programs on massaging tech- niques, stress relief and sexu- al awareness. One day was set aside as Baking It Right Perrin Hall residents Tina Mahu- rin, Val Behrens, Thmmy Branham and Stephanie Schneider prepare Christmas cookies in the lounge.

The council received RHA Program of the Month twice and residents Michelle Bates and Wendy Powell were ho- nored as Residents of the Month for being involved in hall activities. Whatever the project, activi- ty or program, Perrin Hall Council worked to get resi- dents involved and improve the quaUty of life at Perrin. 204 Residence Halls SOUTH COMPLEX Things were looking bright- er for students living in South Complex as every inch of the hallway received a fresh coat of paint. Along with the new colors, South Complex Hall Council decided to change the hall theme from Vacation Sites to Funny Farm. Each floor had its own car- toon mascot, including Bloom County, Teenage Mutant Nin- ja Turtles and Peanuts. The kitchen also received a facelift and the hall put in an exercise room. During fall semester. South Complex residents were the Red Cross blood drive champi- ons for the third consecutive semester. They also were the most generous contributors to United Way campaign among all the halls on campus. An Ugly RA contest was the drive responsible for raising the United Way funds. South Complex RA photos were at- tached to cans in which hall residents deposited coins. Quarters, dimes and nickels counted for 25, 10 and five points respectively, while pen- nies caused their recipients to lose a point. Kim Critel won the contest. We also raffled off tickets to the residents for 25 cents, Andrea McAlpin said. Ticket holders had a chance to win a drawing and maybe get a chance to put a cream pie in the face of an ugly RA. South Complex also spon- : sored educational programs i such as a date rape seminar and sign language classes, taught by Eric Willis. There were Mary Kay Cosmetics demonstrations and a Home- coming window decorating contest. The array of activities were intended to provide a little something to suit everyone. f% MILLIKAN HALL COUNCIL Front Row: Wendy Russie, pres. ; Colleen Walter, vice pres.; Mary McDermott, Dulcie Hanson, treas.; Chelli Davis, sec. ; and Ari Espano, adviser.

Residence Halls 205 Hall activities provide residents with MEMORIES TO SAVOR [ ] by Suzie Zech [ ON CAMPUS LIVING. SOME LOVED IT. SOME HATED IT WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS A SITUA tion filled with pleasure or misery, it was something that one-half of the student body did. And no matter which side you were on, the circumstances of residence hall living provided its participants with at least one thing in common to take with them when they moved out. That one thing was story-telling material. The residence-hall-haters would have their tales of horrible roommates and their lack-of-privacy yarns, and the lovers would have their spells of nostalgia over the good ole days. Sure to be included in the reports from both sides were details spaghetti suppers to flower sales at Valentine ' s Day, and just of some kind of hall-sponsored activity. about every hall on campus was into recycling aluminum cans. Hall council activities were designed to make residents feel Whether or not to join in these activities was up to the in- at home and could most usually be categorized as educational, dividual, but often times the decision to participate helped en- hall-improvement oriented, social or fundraising. sure that the stories told after graduation were tales about the Perrin Hall fourth floor planned and executed a week-long good ole days. stress management program called Gimme a Break to edu- cate residents and friends about coping with stress. The pro- gram ' s activites ranged from a massage demonstration to an evening with a Health Services ' representative for the purpose of increasing safe sexual practices. We learned how to put a condom on a banana, Margaret Ottman said. Ottman added that although the demonstration was hu- morous, the underlying message was taken seriously. South Complex residents did their bonding with a paint brush in hand. Funded with overflow money from the vandalism fund, all hallways and stairwells in the building received a new coat of color Fourth floor Perrin practiced their own form of bond- ing every Wednesday night by traveling as a group to the Pow- er Station for over-under night. Bfisement Wilson and brother floor fifth Phillips chose to take the matching T-shirt idea a step further — or would that be a step lower — and get matching boxer shorts. The two floors embellished pairs of white boxers with their mottos wild wom- en and blowfish, then had a boxer autographing party. Dieterich Hall participated in a hall-sponsored house contest in which points were added for activity and intramural partic- ipation, floor meeting attendance, floor cleanliness, Dean ' s list honors and involvement with hall council. According to second floor Dieterich resident Joe Niswonger, winning first place of $1,000 in last year ' s contest made a big difference in life on his floor. We bought a VCR and Nintendo, Niswonger said. They were still as popular by spring as they were in the fall. Fundraising activities ran the gamut from Wilson Hall For their floor ' s Moppet Baby theme, Penny Heidebrink paints blocks to display third Richardson room numbers.

' y y -: ' r EMBERS FOR LIFE ALPHA KAPPA LAMBDA While many fraternities con- centrated on social activities, the Alpha Kappa Lambdas were concerned with the University ' s new alcohol poUcy. The AKLs were fined $500 for displaying a banner with their letters and an alcoholic beverage promotion. Howev- er, the money was returned to them at a later date. Even though some people considered this as a setback, it got us going in the right direc- tion, President Charles Estep said. We went ' no alcohol ' for two months to prove that was not what we were here for. The fraternity invested in FIPG, a national fraternity in- surance, which prevented them from having minors drinking their house. We carded people at the door and even took away keys, Estep said. For the first time in six years, the fraternity partici- pated in Homecoming. Fundraisers included work- ing concessions for Chiefs and Royals games in Kansas City. The AKLs also participated in philanthropies such as help- ing the Methodist Church with a food drive and helping host an AIDS teleconference. - ALPHA GAMMA RHO A new set of fraternity let- ters were seen gracing shirts around campus this year. Those Greek symbols stood for none other than Alpha Gam- ma Rho, Northwest ' s only professional social fraternity. On the professional side, members had to be agriculture majors, or intend to pursue a related career, with a certain GPA. In other ways, the AGRs wer e much like other fraterni- ties. They sponsored a dry Rush, Christmas dance, spring formal, mixers and other ac- tivities throughout the year. One of their future goals was to obtain a house. Being a first year fraterni- ty, we learned a lot about do- ing things for the community and ourselves, Ken Mayber- ry said. Getting involved with other organizations and gaining respect was key. One way they did this was by starting a tradition of sing- ing to sororities after mixers. The idea for this sprang from the group ' s slave auction ear- ly in the year. One of the guys auctioned off had to get the rest of us to serenade a sorority, May ber- ry said. After that it was something we started doing. ' ' The group received nation- al recognition for their first Crescent, a semi-annual news- letter, organized by Steve Rehbein. DELTA CHI As the largest Greek organi- zation on campus. Delta Chi heated up Homecoming fes- tivities and swept parade and Variety Show honors. Their rendition of Blazing Saddles, entitled Blazing Bearcats, claimed the top spot in the Fraternity Division of the Variety Show. Later that week. Delta Chi won the overall parade Su- premacy award. We all worked hard preparing for Homecoming so it was exciting to receive all the awards, Jim Goekin said. We didn ' t have as much luck in intramurals, but we had fun anyway. Delta Chi ' s achievements in intramurals, membership and activities earned them recog- nition as the nation ' s top chapter among Division II schools. In September they hosted a conference for other Delta Chi chapters from an eight-state region. The men took part in the adopt-a-highway program and cleaned a two-mile stretch of road. Delta Chi, along with Delta Zeta, held a Christmas party for the HeadStart childrer They showed cartoons, san carols and gave the childre coloring books. On Easter Delta Chi and th Inter-fraternity Council spor sored an egg hunt for th community. The Fall FaU, an annu: party at the house, gave alun ni a chance to celebrate Delt Chi ' s 100th anniversary wit current members. DELTA SIGMA PHI In October 1988 the Delt Sigma Phi house was des troyed by fire. With no house to live ir some of the men moved ol campus and some lived in res dence halls.

' I feel they would always be aehind us. The Delta Sigs also partici- pated in a phone-a-thon to get ionations for the University. In the spring, the men spon- sored a check point for the March of Dimes walk-a-thon where walkers could get Irinks and help between the miles if they needed it. In March, the annual arm wrestling tournament was held with all profits going to the March of Dimes.

' W:: •r: ,i-J- A, vV,i. - -S r Greeks 209 Greek EMBERS FOR LIFE PHI SIGMA KAPPA Living in a house with a basement full of water was no fun, especially when the kitchen was down there. The men of Phi Sigma Kappa knew what it was like all too well. Having put up with a leak for a number of years that sometimes put as much as three inches of water in their basement, members decided that renovation was long past due. After returning to campus in the fall, the Phi Sigs set to work, taking everything out of the basement, tearing out walls, and then replacing everything. The fact that a lot of the ren- novating was done during the fraternity ' s fall Rush made it even less charming. Vice President Kevin Sharpe said he was afraid the mess would be a deterant for rush- ees, but the opposite turned out to be true. They saw that we were progressing and getting things done, Sharpe said. Some of them even helped us. The group developed a new attitude. Greater emphasis was placed on academics. Members went to the library together and cutting classes was discouraged. Though the living conditions were uncomfortable at times. Phi Sigma Kappa didn ' t let it get them down. Helping Hands Jason Henderson and Chris Still place ceiling tile in basement of the Phi Sigma Kappa house. The ceiling tile was donated by alum- nus Mark Burnsides. Photo by Brandon Russell SIGMA PHI EPSILON The Buchanan Cup was just one of the many goals on which the men of Sigma Phi Epsilon concentrated. The Sig Eps wanted to prove to be the most outstanding chapter in the region; therefore, they worked hard to strengthen their leadership. In order for them to be strong leaders, the group con- centrated on community serv- ice. Their overall goal was to raise $1,500 dollars for the community. In addition, the Sig Eps helped with the cam- pus blood drive, which was set up on the third floor of the Student Union. Fundraisers for the men in- cluded Fight Night, a weekly supervised boxing match, and mud volleyball. Anyone could participate in the fighting held at Lamkin Gym, President Troy Bair said. Anyone was also welcome to participate in mud volley- ball. The courts were filled with enough water so the players ankles were covered in mud. The men of Sigma Phi Epsi- lon excelled in intramurals also. Just to name a few, they came in first place in football, volleyball, walleyball and battle-of-the-beef. They considered Delta Chi to be their toughest competi- tors in football. We gave it our all and pulled through by scoring when there were only two plays left in the game, Vice President John Strauss said. It felt great scoring the last touchdown to win the game. SIGMA TAU GAMMA Changing the image of an or- ganization was not an easy task, but was exactly what Sigma Tau Gamma set out to accomplish. In the past, the group didn ' t participate in a lot of charita- ble activities. They decided to change this and held a bowl- a-thon to raise money to buy Christmas presents for needy children. Members raised over $300 to purchase gifts. We concentrated more oi improving our image on cam pus, Dave Warren said Participating in more chari ty seemed like a good way t do that. The group also conducted Parent ' s Day. They invited ev ery member ' s parents to thei house for a picnic. Activities with campu sororities was another big par of the Taus ' social Uves. Th group had a separate mixe with each sorority every seiti ester. In July the group set aside work weekend in which the worked on improving thei house. During one weeken they built two decks onto th house. They also hosted an al Greek party during their wor weekend. All Greek organiz; tions were invited to com back to Maryville and cor gregate at the Tau house. In December, the organize tion had a Christmas dance a Molly ' s. The Suns of Rex, Kansas City band, provide musical entertairunent for th Taus and their dates. 210 Greeks After fall Rush, six new members were inducted. War- ren said that a lot of new in- terest had generated and the group anticipated a much big- ger spring pledge class. TAL ' KAPPA EPSILON Ronald Reagan, Terry Brad- shaw and Elvis Presley were all brothers. Fraternal broth- ers that is, as members of Tau Kappa Epsilon. The Maryville chapter had their chance for local fame this year when they placed in the Hooray for Hollywood iHomecoming float competi- ition with their Bearcats are Top Gun. Some groups went all out, but we used what we had left over from last year, Presi- dent Mark Gerling said. We spent about $150 and received around $480 for winning third place. The Red Carnation Ball was held in April in Kansas City. The chapter also held their Christmas Informal dance at the house and a Sweetheart Dance at Molly ' s February 16. More than 100 TKE alumni were present to accept honors at the chapter ' s 35th annual Homecoming dinner. The TKEs participated in many service projects, includ- ing a Halloween party and Easter Egg Hunt for children in their neighborhood. Invita- tions were sent to all the chil- dren living within two or three blocks of their house, which was on Cooper Street. In an attempt to improve overall Greek relations, the TKEs held mixers with other Greek organizations. The organization made the news in August at the TKE National Conclave in Indi- anapolis, Ind., when they vot- ed to abolish pledgeship, sup- porting the belief that the practice of hazing should no longer be tolerated.

ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA With 34 new pledges and 67 active members, Alpha Sigma Alpha found that a lot of work could be done for the commu- nity as well as the organiza- tion. The Alphas sponsored semi nars focusing on important is sues such as date rape and eat- ing disorders. With the help of KDLX, a Dance-Til-Dawn-a-thon was held in the Spanish Den dur-| ing the fall to raise money foi ' Special Olympics. Dr. Jirr| Smeltzer earned the most; money for the group and wor the first-year contest by stay , ing on the dance floor into the morning hours. According to Presiden Amanda Blecha, the eveni was attended mostly by Al phas and Independents anc netted over $1,000. The Alphas also helpec clean up .8 miles of the ares when they chose to adopt-a highway. The trend had been t( think of Greeks as party or ganizations, Vice-Presiden Michelle Dixon said. We hac been trying to get more in volved with the community tt show that our ethics wen mainly focused on doing goo( for the community. While concentrating on thet community service projects the women also took time fo social events, workshops ant Homecoming projects. Holidays, such as Christma and Valentine ' s Day, wen celebrated with dances. Ai annual formal dance was alst held in March in the Holida; Inn in Kansas City. Costs for these projects wen covered by membership due and alumni contributions. Through their many activi ties, Alphas worked to shov students and the communit; that they were a big grou] with a big heart. 212 Greeks fj Greek EMBERS FOR LIFE Christmas CHt-:ERS Alpha Sigma Alpha Christy Leahy and Justin Cooper chat at the sorority ' s annual informal Christ- mas party at Molly ' s.

Continuing a tradition, the women made a calendar as a fundraiser. They chose their favorite campus men to fea- ture each month. The Delta Zetas participated in the Big Sis, Lil Sis and Head- start programs with local schoolchildren. We had a Christmas party with the Delta Chis for the Headstart children, Denise Ibsen said. We gave gifts, watched Christmas cartoons and ate cookies and punch with 15 children. The DZs also celebrated Christmas by caroling at a retirement home. The pledges played bingo with the residents. To raise money for their na- tional philanthropy, the Guallet Hearing and Speech Institute, the Delta Zetas sold house insurance on Hal- loween and actually cleaned up the mess at two homes. In the fall, the sorority took its quota of 36 pledges and won several Homecoming awards, including first place for their float entry. The group hosted State Day, where the six Missouri Delta Zeta chapters met once a year in Kansas City. Delta Zeta wasn ' t just a so- cial group. The initiates com- peted for two academic honors weekly. The Wise Owl was the woman with the best test and quiz grades, while the Book- worm studied the most hours. Pledges had their own awards as well as weekly study hours. No matter what the day, the Delta Zetas were busy with numerous activities that benefited the sorority, the campus and Maryville.

Phi Mu Fraternity shattered the image when they got involved, help- ed their community and had fun in the process. During fall Rush, 35 women pledged Phi Mu. The number was down by five from the previous year, but that didn ' t stop them from having a pro- ductive year. Phi Mu ' s portrayal of An- nie won first place in the Sorority Division of the Home- coming Variety Show and Elizabeth Gibson won a Bob- by Award for best actress with her performance as RA Hannigan. We watched the movie to see what each character was like, but they really gave me the freedom to do whatever I wanted, Gibson said. They never knew what I was going to do each night. I sort of went wild with the character. During the year, Phi Mu held such activities as a Hal- loween Hippie Party at Coun- try Oaks. Everyone dressed like they were in the ' 60s with go-go boots and tie-dyed shirts. In the spring a parents ' as- .sociation formed which al- lowed parents to become in- volved in their daughter ' s Phi Mu experience. Approximate- ly eight to 10 fathers, from different parts of Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska helped in building the Homecoming float. Parents were also invit- ed to a dinner and dance with a luau theme in the spring. Phi Mu raised money for one of their favorite philanthro- pies, Project Hope, by holding a roller skating party for chil- dren. Phi Mu had a Big Sister and Little Brother program for young boys of Maryville, and these boys joined the many other children who attended the skating party. In all, about 30 to 40 kids went to the ac- tivity. Whoever said that sororities were all fun and games prob- ably didn ' t know about Phi Mu and all their activities for com- munity benefit and for each other. SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA Demonstrating success was just what the women of Sigma Sigma Sigma strived for. The Tri Sigs focused on improving community service. A project they did was col- lecting money and food for the Maryville Food Pantry. The Sigmas met at the Sigma Tau Epsilon house and broke into groups. Then the groups scat- tered themselves around Maryville. Two car loads of food were taken to the Methodist Church located on Main Street. The Tri Sigs also sponsored a child from the Save the Chil- dren campaign. The girl ' s name was Aida Gaove and she was from Africa. Save the Children was an organization advertised on television. This was where the Sigmas re- The GRH.M PL ' MPKIN Tri Sigmas Jodi Nienhuis, Traca Madren and Julie Quigg carve a Halloween pumpl in outside of Roberta.

To get in the giving spirit, the Tri Sigs sold Valentine bal- loons. The proceeds from this project went to the Robbie Page Fund, which helped the children at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Hospital with play therapy. Getting involved with other , 214 Greeks i. ' Greek Organizations was also something the group concen- trated on. Collecting money and food for the food pantry- was shared with Sigma Tau Epsilon. Capturing the Christmas spirit, the Tri Sigs along with Phi Sigma Kappa held a Christ- mas party for Head Start chil- dren. It was really nice doing something for the kids know- ing that they did not have as much as others did, Cyndi Stalone said. Besides helping with local and national philanthropy projects, the Tri Sigs also exa- mined how to help the overall Greek effort at the University. Improving fraternity and sorority relations was stressed. We really worked on in- creasing attendance at mixers held with the other fraterni- ties. Spirit was improved by dressing up to certain themes that were chosen, President Heather Malmberg said. Bit What Am I?

Greeks 215 It ' s not Just a party anymore TAMING THE ANIMAL HOUSE ] by Claudia Lokamas [ ] M RYING TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE STEREOTYPICAL IMAGES THEIR GROUPS HAD RECEIVED H over the years, Greek organizations wanted to get the word out about who they really were. Several organizations on campus telt that stereotyping was not much of a problem at North west compared to larger, more expensive schools. But negative attitudes about Greeks still existed Among the most popular stereotypes tagged to fraternity or sorority members was that of the paniers. Although it was true the ' were social, there were other aspects that added to their appeal, It was not just parties, Beth Jochens, a member of Phi Mu Fraternity, said. It was an organization where we worked for a common goal. The groups competed with each other to get good grades ac- cording to Jochens. Other stereotypes had described them as stuck up or conformists. We tended to discourage socializing and encourage academ- ics, Delta Zeta Cora Steinkamp said. All the organizations had scholarship rules that were strictly followed. If a members ' GPA dropped below the acceptable lev- el, they were required to complete a certain number of study hours in the library or receive tutoring to remain a part of the organization. We were not just here to be Greek, Alpha Sigma . lpha Denise Hinrichs said. We realized we were here to get a good education and that was why we were so concerned with get- ting good grades. General concensus pointed out there were always a few in- dividuals who earned the stereotype, but Greek organizations realized they had to make information about the purposes and goals of their groups available to others to break away from those images. If people realized what we were doing and the actual im- pact Greek organizations had on the community, there would be no stereotypes, Delta Chi Rocco Bene said. Groups devoted a lot of time to improving their overall GPA. They also strived to help the community with projects such as adopt-a-highway and Phi Mu ' s Project Hope, which provided clothing, food and health aid to those in need. As groups, they had the potential to accomplish tasks on a larger scale than in- dividuals would. According to Jochens, much of the stereotyping of Greeks was due to lack of knowledge about what they did. In many ways, the organizations were considered a home away from home. They offered students an alternative lifestyle and a way to meet new friends. They also provided students with a comfortable environment which made it easier to get involved. We did a lot more than people could see, Bene said. No one would ever realize the potential of the Greek organization. We worked to create a bond to help our fellow man. With hope and effort, Greek organizations continued break- ing away from their stereotypical images. Alpha Gamma Rho members serenade sorority women in front of Roberta Hall. The new fraternity stressed grades by requiring the men to attend study hours two nights a week and pledges to maintain at least a 2.25 GPA.

So, why would a person from another country come all the way to Northwest to go to school? Ariadna Espano felt that Northwest was the best place to experiment and make her dreams come true. Espano was from Panama City, Panama, where she graduated from high school in 1983 and went to law school until receiving approval to study in the States. I picked Northwest mainly because I liked the name, Espano said. I ' m glad I made that decision. Two goals Espano had when she came to Northwest were, first, to become a resident assistant, and second, to be a hall director. She accomplished both. Sarah Frerking was Head R.A. in Millikan at the same time Espano was hall director. Together they worked towards and achieved recognition as Hall of the Month. Ari did a good job and had a great attitude, Frerk- ing said. She also did slide presentations on Panama and helped put on a program about international students. . 7 ' . Busy with school work, a hall director position and International Student Organization, Ariadna Espano reviews the ISO constitution. In the spare time she had left after fulfilling those obligations, the Panama na- tive enjoyed gymnastics, jogging, swimming and ballet. Photo by Don Carrick ; ■ ■ ■ ,■,7 ' ; ...VA ' -v Although Espano loved campus life in Maryville, she felt the town was lacking. They needed more for student entertainment- something to keep them happy so everybody wouldn ' t go home on weekends, Espano said. During her college career at Northwest Espano had been president of International Student Organization for a year. She had also been peer adviser, participated in Sigma Society and enjoyed ballet, gymnastics, aero- bics, running, swimming and tennis. Being a student from another culture had a few drawbacks, but Espano took them in stride. I have made grammatical mistakes and said words wrong, she said. People made fun of me for that. Espano and her friends called these mistakes oop- sies. Frerking said once Espano called a fly swatter a fly fighter. After graduation, Espano planned to stay in the Mid- west, get married, earn her Ph.D in child development and eventually work in child development and family study. I really liked the Midwest, she said. This was meant to be for me. Although fate had landed Espano in this part of the country, choice was to keep her here.D ;■«! Linden Eitel Ed.

Seniors Earn Extra Dollars While REELING OFF EXPERIENCE The expression busy as a bee was often used to describe someone who was on the move at all times, seemingly never stopping for a breath. Northwest had two such students: Curtis Lorenz and Ed- die Dean. Lorenz and Dean had each served a summer internship at American Cable Vision in Kansas City. Their various duties included taping highlights of a Kansas City Royals baseball game, interviewing some players after the game and being part of a production crew on a community ac- cess channel in the studio. The two worked together either as a team or as part of a team. They continued to work at American Cable Vision throughout the school year as freelancers, commuting to Kansas City twice a week. They taped high school football games, worked on a :3()-minute interview show in Bannister Mall with the Kansas City Chiefs and taped both high school and col- lege basketball games. Lorenz, a senior and an active member in his fraterni- ty. Phi Sigma Kappa, said he wanted to serve an intern- ship in order to get some hands-on experience. He took the job at American Cable Vision because it was the easi- est to get. I thought it would greatly enhance my opportunities of becoming a professional in the field of video produc- tion, Lorenz said. We didn ' t even mind driving back and forth. Money was always a good incentive. Lorenz admitted that commuting to Kansas City, carry- ing a full load of classes and being active in his fraterni- ty all at once was not an easy thing to do. At the beginning of the semester. Homecoming was top priority and my grades suffered immensely, Lorenz said. After Homecoming was over, graduation was top priority and 1 tried to study more to get my grades up. It wasn ' t easy because 1 had created a big hole that was hard to get out of. Eddie Dean was working towards a comprehensive broadcasting degree. Dean took the internship because he thought it would look good on a resume. 1 felt good about my future in video production, Dean said. The road was paved for me, unlike some seniors who wondered what they would be doing after graduation. I was getting experience while still in school. Both Lorenz and Dean looked forward to graduation when their schedules would not be quite so hectic and they could put some of their experience to good use.D wmw T ' M . • .- :M i ' . -4 ' • ' .

Often drean s were chased and never caught, but that was far from true for Jimi Campbell and C.J. Hauptmeier. Campbell was an 18-year- old psychology major from Hastings, Iowa, who seemed to be a typical freshman dealing with classes and homework. But many people had no idea of her very Drawing on her own experiences. Campbell spent hours writing lyr- ics for her music. Photo by Bruce Campbell Campbell ' s first album, titled The Master of the Game, was released in December. Photo by Bruce Campbell atypical hobby: music. Exposed to music at a young age by her father, who was both a studio and private musician, her first performance was at age six in Lake Okoboji, Iowa. She sang Love Will Keep Us Together with her father. Her love of music stayed with her and she began thinking of becoming a professional musician. Hauptmeier, a broadcast- ing major from Lincoln, Neb., became interested in music in fifth grade when he started playing the trum- pet. Because of an injury to his eardrum, he switched from trumpet to drums and sang in his junior high swing choir. In college, Hauptmeier sang in University Chorale, Tower Choir and Celebra- tion. His sophomore year, fellow Celebration member Tim Evans, Hauptmeier, An- thony Trevino and David Dunn pooled their talents to form a band. The Edge. Performing mostly contem- porary music and songs they had written themselves, the band played local clubs and opened for Bad English in Lamkin Gym in November. We were ecstatic when we found out we ' d be open- ing for them, Hauptmeier said. We were all pumped for it — it was intense. Campbell began composing her own music from person- al feelings and experiences, and as a high school senior, started working on her first record album. -continued ■ ' :■ ' ■•-.

At first, Campbell felt appre- hensive about the high-tech studio surroundings. I thought it would be hard, but it turned out to be one of the easiest things I ' d ever done, she said. Writing everything from rock to ballads, Hauptmeier ' s talent for composing began to surface during his sophomore year in high school. He admitted his style was influenced by the band Chicago. It had always been my dream to be a songwriter, Hauptmeier said. I planned to make a living out of writing and singing. Hauptmeier also performed one of his own songs at the Homecoming Variety Show, sang at weddings and was a Stax of Wax performer at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. As both Campbell and Hauptmeier found out, the music business was not all glit- ter and glory. Campbell worked long nights while still in high school, many times not getting home from the studio until after 1 a.m. Campbell ' s final song for the album was recorded in the fall and was available in December under the title The Master of the Game. As for Hauptmeier, he con- tinued to work on his music and wait for his big break. He could make money at this, Evans said. He had what it takes if he could just make the right contacts. Though both were talented musicians, they kept open minds about careers outside the music field. No matter what the future had in store for them, music would always be a big part of the vision that Campbell and Hauptmeier dared to dream. D C. J. Hauptmeier performs with his band.

Maeda was one of 50 Japanese students chosen from 500 applicants to participate in a two-year study pro- gram which involved teaching Japanese. Hokkaido In- ternational Foundation and Northwest sponsored Maeda. Quiet, petite Maeda not only taught, but was also in the process of finishing her master ' s degree in English. Teaching was very different, Maeda said. It was the only class in which I felt superior In English class 1 couldn ' t understand all the words the teacher said. Originally, 28 students were enrolled in Maeda ' s Japa- nese language class, but that number eventually dwin- dled to 10. However, Maeda liked the smaller class and said the students were nice and seemed well prepared for such a tough class. We got so much attention from her since there were only 10 of us, Amy Huston said. She came to all of us and made sure we were pronouncing words correctly. ' ' Teaching Japanese to Americans was a switch for Maeda, who had formerly taught English to Japanese students in Tokyo. Being able to converse with her stu- dents was very important to Maeda. Communication between me and the students was the best part about teaching, Maeda said. Although their vocabularies were still limited, we talked and Tokyo native Hiromi Maeda, Norttiwest ' s first Japanese lan- guage instructor, coaches Amy Huston and Century Lawson through a core conversation lesson. Photo by Dana Nelson joked around. The cultural shock of adjusting to a location far from home would have been hard enough, but Maeda han- dled that as well as the double duties of teaching and learning. For those 10 enrolled in her class, she brought a little bit of the Orient to Maryville.D m. Mar ' Stevenson Mathematics Suzanne Stoll Office Info, .Sys.

For Kristi Wolfgram and Cathy Coyne HANDICAP IS NO BIG DEAL vercoming obstacles is tough for anyone. But for two students, the fact that each was missing a Umb didn ' t dampen their spirits a bit. Kristi Wolfgram was born with a partial arm, but nevertheless maintained an active lifestyle. She was a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority and the Steppers, the pompon drill team. Some may have suspected that pompon routines would be more difficult for Wolfgram, but she didn ' t see per- forming as an obstacle. Likewise, her relations with others didn ' t suffer. Most people didn ' t even notice until they really knew me, Wolfgram said. When they knew me, they knew there was no need to treat me any different. Since Wolfgram was born without an arm, it wasn ' t frustrating for her because she had never known what it was like to have one. 1 didn ' t consider myself handicapped at all, Wolfgram said. As a member of the Steppers, Wolfgram encountered few problems — nothing that couldn ' t be worked out. Her prosthesis allowed her to have an open and shut hand grip which enabled her to release the pompons when necessary. Another active and extraordinary student on campus was Cathy Coyne. Coyne was born with one leg, but ac- cording to her it was no big deal and had very little ef- fect on her lifestyle. A former ROTC Ranger and winner of many ROTC awards, Coyne was also involved with the International Student Organization, University Chorale and even worked as a lifeguard for a 6 a.m. ROTC class during the fall semester. Coyne said that her limitations hadn ' t really restricted her in any way, and looking at her list of activities was testimony to that fact. She felt that since she accepted herself the way she was, she made it easier for others to do the same. Coyne went out of her way to make sure people didn ' t give her any special treatment. She was very open about her disabiUty and encouraged others to be open as well. 1 liked kids to ask questions, Coyne said. I wanted them to know that they didn ' t have to keep quiet about it. Coyne claimed that being from a large family helped her develop an outgoing personality and good sense of humor. 1 grew up with five brothers, so I had to be tough, Coyne said. I tried to make jokes to lighten people up. When remembering fights and incidents of trouble in- volving siblings during her childhood, Coyne recalls that she always put up a good fight. The word handicap often brought thoughts of helpless- ness and dependability to mind, but obviously those terms didn ' t apply to these two students. Those were two traits that Coyne and Wolfgram knew nothing about. D ' - ' . ■ ' •:5 .■vm Lisa Troth Elem Early Child. Lea VanBecelaerc Public Rotations Elizabeth VanVactor Elem.

TT n one way or another, most students spent some 1 1 time in the J. W. Jones Student Union every day. • They might have been eating, making a run to the bookstore or playing video games. Students returned to a much brighter and livelier un- ion last year after the summer renovation of the Spanish Den. The union had been in need of such changes due to the age of the building. The den had been much the same for many years although the building itself had ex- perienced other transitions. At one time, Northwest had a bowling alley. The lanes were for student use and were open during hours which were convenient for the student body. Eventually the al- ley was closed because of lack of interest. Also, some may not have known that Northwest had its own barber shop in operation 15 to 18 years ago. Oc- casionally two barbers were needed to keep up with -continued ARA employee Pam Ricono charbroils cheeseburger patties at ' Ibwer iew Cafeteria.

Since then some students had expressed a desire for the administration to bring another stylist to campus. The possibility had been explored but no stylist could be found who was interested in undertaking the venture, primarily because of loss of revenue during breaks. Plans were underway for a program which would al- low students to use their IDs to make purchases in the Bearcat Bookstore. The program would be set up much like the ala-dine meal program and would allow students to spend from $50 to $100 only in the bookstore. That would have made it a lot easier on me, Missy Robinson said. Then I wouldn ' t have had to write a check out for every little thing. Dean of Students Dr. Phil Hayes said some students had expressed interest in an on-campus fast food restaurant, but the University ' s contract with ARA food services prohibited any other restaurants from providing food service for students. The idea behind fast food was burgers that were pre- pared ahead of time, Hayes said. When ARA began to do this, the students were not happy with the results, and the result was low food sales. Times changed and so did the students. With enroll- ment increasing at its present rate Northwest was swell- ing to maximum capacity. Restless students looking for something to do felt the union didn ' t provide solutions for them as efficiently as other campus unions. For now their biggest entertainment decisions were whether to play Pac-Man or eat pizza.

Many attended col- ege in hopes of realizing their goals. However, af- ter spending some time in college, students quite often became discouraged with their chosen field of study. In order to rectify this situation, they were forced to change majors, frequently more than once during their college career. This action was practiced with such regularity that it was difficult to find individuals who had stuck with their original major choice. There were a number of reasons why students changed their fields of study. Some found classes too difficult, some discovered there was not much money to be made in their chosen field and others simply lost interest. However, in the midst of all of the confusion and inde- cision there were a few who didn ' t stray from their origi- nal major choice. Becky Turner, a junior majoring in elementary educa- tion, was one such person. -continued ; liifB m Bi (hide .i- tin f nuijor ickh une s pi epdie-, to reel tape for a bi oad I dst onh. i KuneU   ho i ho e his m.ijor ds j fre- hmdn fie et ' ' .

I chose elementary ed because working with little kids gave me the opportunity to in- fluence them before they developed negative attitudes. The fact that some students stuck to their original majors didn ' t mean they were free of doubt. On the con- trary, these students often experienced as much doubt as those who chose to change their majors. Unlike most, though, some form of motivation prevented them from altering their chosen paths. ' I had doubts almost every day, broadcasting major Nick Kunels said. I was always hearing about poor sa- laries in my field, but I would rather get up every day and go to a job I enjoyed than to a job I didn ' t like just to make more money. It appeared to be a rather common trend among those that stuck to their first choice that they placed satisfac- tion in a career over financial gain. Maybe this was one of the reasons they didn ' t alter their choices, or possibly they were merely fortunate enough to discover their niche in life on the first try. Wliether or not these people would be more successful in life than those who changed their majors was impossi- ble to predict. However, it did appear that with their minds so set on their futures they had an excellent chance of accomplishing what they set out to do.D MAJORS How many times have you changed your major? 1 21% 18% 16% 3 v ' h ftvN 4% 10% ' Upperclassmen i ' i ' ' $: i lUndergraduates Source: A random sun ev of 108 undergraduate and 42 upperclass Northwest students in November 1989.

No longer would you get those ag- J I. gravating calls from phone salesmen, busy signals or silly answering machines. On the other hand, you would have to walk whenever you wanted to talk to someone, and it would be very difficult to order a carry-out pizza. Northwest students could order out whenever they liked, thanks to the new phone system. Tblecommunications Coordinator David Sherry said the average student had one phone and made four long dis- tance calls a week, spending about $1.75 per call. Sherry explained that the phone system was actually a part of the computerized campus. Work began on the sys- tem in fall 1986 with the wiring of the residence halls. Students were then able to contract with United Tele phone System for the 1987-88 academic year. All students who brought their own phones were eligibU to sign long distance contracts with the University ' s telecom munications office. Nearly all the 1,500 phone extensions were in use during the fall semester. Sherry said the system was heaven, especially for desk workers at the residence halls. We did everything we could to simulate a phone compa- ny, plus a little bit more, Sherry said. Limits were set to keep those who used the system from getting into financial trouble. Students could call anywhere in the United States by dial ing their access codes. But once a student ' s bill exceeded $100 for the month, his code was invalidated until the bill was paid. -continued Thanks to the new phone system, Cynthia Jensen could type her paper and chat simultaneously. The cost of local calls was includ- ed in students ' tuition.

This was done to ensure that the telecommunications office captured revenues and was able to pay for the system. Although some students were unhappy with the limi- tations, Sherry said there were few actual problems. One student, Kristina Loft, said life without a phone would be hard, but less costly. One problem created by the phone system was breaking the news to Mom and Dad that you lacked the necessary funds to pay your outrageous phone bill.n ILLS What has been your highest phone bill?

No longer was the disease confined to homosexuals or drug addicts; men, women and even children had been diagnosed with the virus. Initially, the disease was found almost exclusively in urban coastal areas. Later, however, it had entered the Midwest and studies indicat- ed that the situation would worsen in the future. The AIDS scare had be- come prevalent on college campuses, and Northwest was no exception. Upon leaving home and experienc- ing freedom from adult su- pervision, students had many opportunities to ex- periment with alcohol, drugs and sex. This increased the risk of being exposed to the AIDS virus. In order to increase stu- dent awareness of the problem. Northwest estab- lished an AIDS Iksk Force which provided those on campus with a source of information. Our primary objective was to educate students about the virus and prepare -continued Jason Ripple and Heidi Gehrman simulate the buying and selling of condoms at Perrin Hall.

Another step Health Serv- ices took was the sale of condoms, which were availa- ble at residence halls as well as in their offices. Although some ignored the possible consequences of promiscuous behavior, many took the issue seriously. I noticed my friends be- coming a lot more selective when choosing sexual part- ners, Mike Hughes said. Hopefully, students would heed warnings proclaimed by the Tksk Force and simi- lar programs. However, these organizations were only warning devices; actual de- cisions were up to the in- dividual. Only they could dictate how destructive the AIDS virus would prove to be in their generation.

Environmental Services allowed students to work part-time jobs ranging from green men on grounds maintenance to secretarial jobs around campus. The term green men was derived from the color of the outfits that many of the maintenance workers wore on campus. Although the jobs were low in pay, usually minimum wage, many students found the benefits of working for Environmental Services good reason to apply. 1 think I got experience in working my job, secretarial assistant Kathleen Ruoff said. You got to choose your own hours and your were not on your feet so much. It just seemed to make sense to work here. Students who couldn ' t see themselves working at fast food establishments found the kind of jobs En- vironmental Services offered both rewarding and fun. It never got really dull and 1 could use this as a job reference, Vicki Hollander said. I enjoyed working with different people and we got to do a variety of things. 1 couldn ' t imagine myself at someplace like Hardee ' s or McDonald ' s. Other students put their talents to use in the car- pentry shop or on the University farm. Students who worked at the farm got the opportunity to help in real money-making projects from working the dairy cows on the farm to harvesting and planting crops. Both jobs gave the opportunity for self pride in work while in an outdoor setting. There were several reasons students chose to be em- ployed. Environmental Service jobs gave students the chance to gain work experience as well as putting stuffing back into the ceramic pig-D Duane Havard dumps wood chips around a tree trunk to help the ground retain moisture.

Iggy, should I stop serving milk? he asked of the green-eyed iguana staring back at him from the bathtub. Not everyone had pets as rare as Juan ' s iguana but a few Northwest students came close. Whether it was for the sake of novelty or a true love for all animals, some would just as soon have bizarre pets than domesticated dogs and cats. Lana Whipple was one such person who preferred the unique to the ordinary. Whipple had a pet ferret named Mims who was allowed to roam the house during the dayhght hours. At night, however, he was put into a cage. Ferrets were members of the weasel family and had been used since ancient times to kill rats and chase rab- bits from their burrows.

When people first walked into the house and saw him they said, ' Ooooh! ' Whipple said. He was a cross be- tween a dog and a cat. He chewed on toys like a dog, played with stuff Uke a cat and used a litter box and ate cat food. Most of these unusual animals were purchased in pet stores, and along with ownership of them came the responsibility of putting rumors and myths surrounding them to rest. People thought ferrets stunk, but when they were neutered they were deodorized, Whipple said. Also, people didn ' t want to pet him for fear he would bite their fingers off. Whipple said that Mims had only bitten her once and when he did she tapped him on the head and he never did it again. Jeremy Wilson had a baby boa constrictor named Bil- ly who lived in a box in his room. Wilson, whose brother owned a pet shop, acquired the snake shortly af- ter it was born. At the age of two months, Billy was about two and one half feet long. One might think that sharing habitats with such an ex- otic animal might make other humans shy away from paying visits. At first people were scared, Wilson said. But once they realized he wouldn ' t bite them, it was all right — because he really was nice. Boas were some of the largest of all snakes in the world. They were non-poisonous and killed their prey by constriction, hence the name constrictor was given to them. Billy ate one rat per week which Wilson purchased from K-Mart at about $3 a whack. However, Wilson ex- pected that Billy would be eating more as he got older since the average adult boa constrictor was between six and a half feet and 10 feet long.

Commander was a salamander. He was easy to take care of, Hill said. He didn ' t get into anything. He just swam around in his bowl. A can of food was about $3 and lasted about a year and a half. The life expectancy of the salamander was from one to 60 years. Hill said that the little amphibian was a fairly sedate animal. The most exciting thing he did was shed his skin and then eat it. After polling some unusual pet owners around campus, it seemed that they didn ' t have nearly as much trouble with their pets as they did convincing friends of their harmlessness. Nevertheless, a pet provided companionship no matter whether it crawled or walked, and for some, it was just as easy to talk to a lizard as it was to talk to a dog.n Commander the salamander is not as aggressive as his name im- plies. According to his master, Stephanie Hill, he was a nice, quiet pet that spent most of his time swimming around in his bowl and cost less than $3 a year to maintain.

It was hard to imagine ever being as small as modern-day passengers. Never would they have stood in the middle of the aisle annoying the driver, while another kid hung out the window waving at passing cars. Since they were young, kids had become more unruly. This fact was discovered by Northwest students who be- came bus drivers for the Maryville school district. The drivers picked kids up starting at 6:30 a.m. and delivered them home at 2:30 p.m. The most difficult situ- ations were posed by Mother Nature. The only hard time was when it snowed, Annette Filippi said. Not all the country roads were cleaned off and sometimes we got stuck. Filippi said she and the kids played games and some- times they brought her cookies. Not being hip to kids ' jive could cause problems and substitute drivers were often victims of onboard pranks. One time a boy had just gotten a hunting license and he asked the sub if they could go back for his gun, Filippi said. He told the driver he ' d spotted a rabbit. On Bob Swinford ' s routes kids crowded to the back. -continued V;. A ' S, Waiting for the bus route to begin, Annette Filippi talks to a Horace Mann student.

They liked to pick on everyone, especially the girls. Swinford said that if riders acted up too much, he yelled at them. If that didn ' t do the trick he moved them to the front of the bus. Drivers never knew what would happen on the job with up to 30 little personalities and temperamental Mid- western weather with which to contend. It might not have always been easy, but it wasn ' t boring. D Bus driver Bob Swinford glances back at students on tiis afternoon bus route. The working hours and enjoyment of children convinced Swinford to take the job.

In order to afford apart- ment life, students often had to work or take out stu- dent loans. Elizabeth Sharp worked three jobs: at K-Mart, Movie Center and as a tutor on campus at the Writing Skills Center. For Sharp, the hard work was worth the benefits. I didn ' t think I ' d like the dorms and I had a room- mate for a while, but living alone suited me better, Sharp said. I didn ' t like in- terruptions in my routine. Many students felt there were more pros to living off campus than for living on campus or with a roommate, such as freedom to do what they wanted without getting ■J ;■•! 1 -1 .Hi K- Scott Smyth Brenda Snyder Eric Snyder Jennifer SoUare Travis Spalding Stephanie Spaulding Xristine Speckmann Karl Spencer Shawna Spencer Amy Sprague James Sprick Sean Stagner Jenniffer Stanley Joe Stark John Stark Amy Stedem Daniel Steeve David Stehl Gaiy Steinert PJachel Stenberg Kathy Stenner ' ; ' .-J ■ ' ' }, ' !, ' , ' .c - yv. in trouble. However, there were also a few minuses connected with this sort of living arrangement. In the dorms you could be written up for being too loud, Sharp said. In an apartment your neighbors could call the cops on you for the same thing. Sharp also cited inacces- siblity to the computing sys- tem as another con of off- campus living. Although there were both advantages and disadvan- tages to living off campus, many students chose that option over residence hall life. Then if dirty dishes, hair-clogged drains or a shortage of toilet paper showed up, you knew you had no one to blame but yourself. D OOMMATIS , : ' ■. , x What is your ideal number of roommates?

Wait a minute! How could that have been since mommy was miles away? Oh. the bedtime visitor was a Chi Phi Chi pledge. Chi Phi Chi. a non-alcoholic fraternity, first sold tuck-ins in the deli and later went door to door Tuck- ins could be purchased for SI and entitled recipients to one song or tuck-in and bedtime story. The tuck- er was responsible for making the tuckee com- fortable. Although most takers were Northwest students, the pledges displayed their talents off campus as well. We were supposed to serenade someone at the Sig- ma Phi Epsilon house but he wasn ' t there, Darrin McBroom said. We were goofing around in the park- ing lot and being loud and someone called the police. It just so happened that the policeman who came to quiet them down was celebrating his 20th wedding an- niversary that day so the pledges went to his home and sang the Kenny Rogers tune Through the Years for them. The fundraiser ended up making $60 for the group and even though the tuck-ins weren ' t quite like the ones mommy used to give, they were still fun.Z ' Bedtime becomes showtime for Kim Garton.

Jazz made the break from the traditional and expected, but often met with skepti cism because it was difficult to understand. Dale Montague not only understood jazz, he loved it. Montague was the Executive Director of Enrollment Management, but somehow he escaped his duties at Ad- missions once a week to indulge in his love of jazz. Since the fourth grade he had supported jazz musicians by collecting their music. His incredible music collection contained over 2,000 compact discs and many albums.

' V. ,v.-A-- ' ' :.d ' i - In November, he began hosting a radio program called Jazz Insights. The show had begun a year earlier when jazz instructor Gordon Vernick and KXCV executive producer Mike Johnson joined forces. Johnson wanted a program that focused on local talent and tapped into Vernick ' s experiences of recording in New York and working with well-known jazz artists. After one successful season, Vernick left Northwest to take another job. Montague and Vernick had shared their love of jazz and as Vernick prepared for departure, Mon- tague was invited take over the show. The show was going to drop, Johnson said, We were very fortunate to have Dale step in. Jazz Insights was doing well in its second season and receiving good responses, both vocally and financially through pledged support. Although Montague didn ' t handle the technical aspects of the show, he did all of his own programming. When he first started the job he submitted a five-page proposal containing over 33 theme ideas. I listened to the music at home several times and tried to pull out things about a certain theme so that each piece tied the show together, Montague said. Music was an old friend to Montague. He had grown up with the classics and found he could rely on their stabili- ty in a family that moved often. Jazz Insights was not Montague ' s first time on the air waves. During college he had hosted a three-hour jazz program in Indianapolis. His approach to programming jazz was different from Vernick ' s, who was a musician. Dale was more of a music lover and an enthusiast, a fan and historian, Johnson said. He taught me appreci- ation for the music and for what the musicians went through, because theirs was not a very glamorous life. Jazz Insights would continue to bring listeners from the four-state area insights into jazz, but Producer Pro- motions Manager John Jasinski also said there were sketchy plans for national syndication.

In modern days, the two countries became compe- titors in big business. In a short time, Japan- ese businesses had gone from being junior partners in the great American cor- poration to participating on an equal level. Ameri- ca helped Japan cre- ate new industries while its own pro- ducts suffered from corporations that failed to develop properly. After send- ing industrial ad- — visers to Japan to help them rebuild, Americans began accept- ing help from Japanese businessmen to learn how their operations ran. The Japanese yen had also taken a growing role in international financial dealings and the dollar be- gan to lose its formerly se- cure position. About three years ago, $ 100 was worth about 250 yen, Junko Matsushima said. Now, that $100 is about 130 yen. Japan invested over $50 billion in American com- panies and bought $7.6 billion worth of agricultur- al products from the Unit- ed States in 1989. American car companies fell behind their Japanese competitors in design and product value. As a result, U.S. auto makers took steps toward improving their manufac- turing skills by redesigning many of their businesses and trying to find ways to appease their customers. They looked again to the Japanese for answers to improve sales. Multi-millionaire Donald Trump was an outspoken admonisher of the effec- tiveness of Japanese bus- inessmen. He predicted that Japan would take over most economic mar- kets if U.S. corporations did not improve their quality and service. Just as Trump partici- pated in many real-estate deals, so did the Japanese. Japanese investors pur- chased New York ' s Rock- efeller Center and partici- pated in several other land deals in the United States. Millonaire Donald Trump achieved fortune through real estate deals. He said Japan would dominate world mar- kets if the U.S. did not keep up.

FIRST LADY Female captain inducted Given the U.S. Corps of Cadets highest honor, Kristin Baker ■was inducted as the first female captain of the academy at West Point. The 5-foot-2-inch, 21 -year- old was placed in charge of the long gray Line, which consist- ed of 4,400 cadets. According to Time maga- zine, Baker said leadership didn ' t depend on gender. Baker had not previously planned on having a career in the military but after seeing West Point, her father ' s alma mater, she changed her mind. REAGAN ' S WORD Iran-contra testimony Former President Ronald Reagan claimed the doctrine of executive privilege as he struggled to avoid getting in- volved with the Iran-contra affair ' s legal battle. The CK al Office dian,% which he was trying to protect, might have contained impor- tant information that was relevant to the defense of former National Security Ad- viser .John Poindexter. Judge Harold Green ordered Reagan to turn over more than 30 dian. ' entries, which his lawyers objected to on the ba- sis of executive privilege. Ordered to give testimony at Poindexter ' s trial pertaining to the Iran-contra affair. Rea- gan was videotaped near his Bel-Air home as he answered eight hours of questions which concentrated on his meetings with Poindexter. The tapes revealed that Rea- gan was not aware his aides were arming the Nicaraguan contras secretly during a ban by Congress on militan. aid. During his testimony, Rea- gan also agreed with a letter that was sent to Congress by Poindexter that stated the White House was complying with the ban on contra aid. Index 271 CLOSE VICTORY Black governor elected Voters broke through racial barriers in Virginia when Douglas Wilder became the first black governor elected in the United States. Pre-election surveys stated Wilder was ahead of his rival, Republican Marshall Coleman, by 4 to 15 percent margins. Also, an initial television exit poll announced that Wilder was victor by only 10 percen- tage points. As a boy, when I read a- bout Abe Lincoln or Thom- as Jefferson . . . when I read that all men were created equal and that they were en- dowed by their creator with certain inaUenable rights . . . I knew it meant me, Wilder told Time magazine. MORAL INJUSTICE Rape triggers national outcry In April, six New York City teenagers chased a 28-year-old female jogger into a gully in Central Park where they beat and raped her She had lost three quarters of her blood and had slipped into a coma when discovered three hours later. But within two weeks she regained consciousness. The incident drew national attention, apalling some who thought strict punishment should be dealt the youths. Others felt the event would not have made national news if the attackers had been Cau- casian, and that since they were black and Hispanic, they would be punished more severely. The names of the youths were released, which also raised the question of prej- udice, even though this was common practice when deal- ing with severe cases. The victim intended to press charges and was prepared to testify against her alleged at- tackers in court.

Captain Alfred Haynes, one of 186 survivors, con- tacted the control tower to report that the devices used to steer the plane were useless. Air controllers guided Haynes in the direction of Dubuque, Iowa, 240 miles east of where they first discovered trouble. After heading toward Dubuque, Haynes lost con- trol of the aircraft and de- termined he needed to make an emergency land- ing at a nearby airstrip. Ten seconds before the jet contacted the runway at Sioux City, the right wing of the plane caught the ground, making the jet spin in the air twice before smashing below. Astonish- ingly, rescuers saw some survivors walking away from the tragedy which took 110 people ' s lives. Cindy Hansen, Sioux City resident, said her father had been at a golf course near the runway and saw the crash. I was in Maryville watching TV when the news flash came on, Hansen said. 1 called my dad and he told me he had seen the whole thing. Vicky Hollander, also from Sioux City, was A United Airlines plane crashed short of the runway at the Sioux City, Iowa, air- port, where hundreds of emergency workers were waiting. The plane flipped and broke apart leaving 111 of the 296 passengers dead. Photo by Wide World working near the site of the accident. When we heard about it, we all ran outside, Hollander said. I saw a huge ball of smoke. It made me want to cry be- cause I knew what had happened. No one knew exactly what happened when Avi- ance Flight 52, a 707, dis- appeared into the mist of the fog and rain. Appar- ently, all four engines failed. The handicapped plane then flew into the trees on the hillside of Cove Neck, N.Y., and tore apart. Out of the 161 people who were aboard the jet, more than half survived. Federal safety in- vestigators conclud- ed the tragedy could have been caused by a ghastly mistake. Flight 52 was seen recircling over Long Island to find the runway at the John F. Kennedy Interna- tional Airport. Fuel gauges showed 1,300 gallons: but the absence of explosion or fire caused speculation that fuel ran out. by Amy Wilmes RECAP OF THE YEAR ' S EVENTS Plane Crashes ulbertson, Daniel 116, 117 ulbertson, Gail 116, 117 ulbertson, Katie 116, 117 ulbertson, Robert 117, 179 ummings, Angle 145 lummins, Kendra 61, 239 Cunningham, Amy 239 Cunningham, Mary 175, 239 Curnutte, James 159 Curtis, Ttrri 239 Izanstkowski, Ronald 129 Dailey, Mary 205 Dalbey, DanieUe 239 Dalbey, Tricia 163, 239 Damiani, Jennifer 175, 215 Daniel, Kevin 222 Daniels, Jack 198 Daniels, Richard 239 Daniels, Timothy 183 Darrah, Matt 211 Darveaux, Andrea 175, 212 Dashti, Said 190 Daup, Barbara 239 Davenport, Tiffany 126, 127 Davis, Carol 239 Davis, Eileen 10, 212, 213, 222 Davis, Jeff 159, 184, 239 Davis, Jennifer 180, 212 Davis, Lisa 17, 31, 159 Davis, Michael 141, 168 Davis, Michelle 205, 239 Davis, Nathan 131, 211 Davis, Susan 239 Davis, Timothy 188, 196, 197, 239, 265 Day, Angela 239 Dayhuff, Karie 239 Dayhuff, Kellie 239 De Anda, Eduardo 124, 190 DeArvil, Ann 60 DeBlauw, Lori 159, 239 DeBrevi, Michael 141 DeJarnette, Ronald 239 DeJoode, Chad 211 DeLancey, David 100, 101 DeLong Julie 159, 173, 222 DeLong, Stacy 175 DeLong, Tbm 211 DeMay, Tteena 175 DeVoss, James 211 DeYoung, Laura 198 DeYoung, Ron 85, 118, 119 Dean, Eddie 211, 222, 223 Dean, Susan 188 Deans 118, 119 Deatherage, Jill 239 Decker.

SHI ' ITE RETALIATION Colonel presumed dead People watched in sadness as eerie images of a dead American hostage hung from a scaffol d flashed across tele- visions in August. The hostage was presumed to be Colonel William Higgans, 44, who was kidnapped in 1988 by Shi ' ite terrorists. Ex- perts studied the photo for identification and the charac- teristics closely matched that of Higgans. Head of an observer team attached to the U.N. peace- keeping force in Lebanon, Hig- gans became the retaliation device the terrorists claimed in exchange for the Israeh sei- zure of a presumed Shi ' ite leader Officials believed that Hig- gans had died before the pic- ture was taken and then used for the grisly display. THREATENED Elephants die needlessly African elephants used to run abundantly through the wild lands of Africa. However, the species was in great danger of becoming extinct due largely to the hundreds of hunters who killed the elephants and left a trail of carcasses across Africa. The fatal feature of these creatures was their precious ivory tusks. African countries tried to put regulations on the number of elephants killed but tusks still seemed to slip through the cracks, mostly by falsifying documents. Authorities, as well as con- sumers, were becoming more aware of the problem. Celebri- ties such as Stephanie Powers voiced their opinions on the situation in hopes of prevent- ing further poaching. Ivory tusks were valuable because they brought a great profit; however, thousands of the elephants paid the price with their hves.

In September, President Ge- orge Bush stated his $900 miUion plan to continue the drug war. Bush ' s strategy focused on drug users and pushers. It would take a nation- al strategy that reached into every school, every work place and involved every family, Bush said. Bush advocated building more prisons, hiring more policemen and persuading the courts to put drug ad- dicts in institutions. Also, research on medicines to help cure drug addiction were to be emphasized. Many people felt irritat- ed that while Bush was working to end the drug war, Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega was traf- ficking drugs, laundering money and racketeering. These crimes resulted in his indictment on 15 charges. Due to these charges, nearly 24,000 United States troops dethroned Noriega during a Decem- ber invasion. However, the victory was not without cost. Six hundred civilians were killed, twenty-three U.S. soldiers died and another 300 were wounded. To avoid capture, Norie- ga hid in several different locations in Panama City. In the second week of the invasion, Noriega sur- rendered to American authorities after spending several days in sanctuary at the Vatican embassy in Panama City. He was then flown to Miami to be offi- cially charged. Ari Espano ' s family resided in Panama. I stayed up all night during the invasion to try to keep up with what was going on, Espano said. Espano waited several uneasy evenings for a phone call from her family, which finally came. Phone lines from Maryville to Panama were con- tinually blocked dur- ing the crisis. by Amy Wilmes RECAP OF THE YEAR ' S EVENTS Drug Wars William Bennett, appointed by President George Bush to aid in his war against drugs, stresses his plan to stiffen punishment for drug dealers and users. Photo by RM Pho- to Service Index 275 T Tl JPJD nr Supreme Court tackles controversial issues, tries to preserve rights BIG NEWS RECAP OF THE YEAR ' S EVENTS Civil Rights rhe United States Con- stitution was the backbone of our country; however, in the ' 80s, peo- ple were desperately try- ing to hang on to their civil rights while others were working hard to revise them. The issue of whether or not flag burning was con- stitutional caused tempers to flare and began a heat- ed argument that many citizens took personally. Perhaps the most out- raged by the idea of legal- ized flag burning were American veterans. They had risked their lives for their country, and they be- lieved in what the flag stood for They felt others shouldn ' t have the right to destroy such an important symbol of democracy. However, the Supreme Court ruled that if flag burners were prosecuted, their rights would be vio- lated. The First Amend- ment protected the rights of those who chose to burn the flag as a form of symbolic speech. I wouldn ' t have burned the American flag and wouldn ' t have advocated others to do so, but the flag was just a sym- bol of our country, not the country it- self, Sunil Ahuja said. I knew not everyone would run out and burn the flag; therefore, the Bill of Rights should In June, the Supreme Court limited state power to outlaw desecration of the American flag. Although the decision was in favor of First Amend- ment rights, many Americans found it objectionable. Photo by Wide World not have been tampered with. Controversy was also sparked from the issue of placing stronger restric- tions on guns. The National Rifle As- sociation found itself in a bad situation. With over 30,000 deaths yearly due to irresponsible gun use, many Americans lobbied to get more restrictions on guns, such as a seven-day waiting period and a back- ground check for anyone wanting to buy a handgun. Other restrictions would include mandatory regis- tration of semi-automatic weapons, pistols, rifles and shot guns. However, the NRA put up a defense declaring that the rights of 70 mil- lion gun owners were in danger of being violated. All guns are good guns, NRA President Mi- chael Foss told Time mag- azine. There are no bad guns. The whole nation should be an armed na- tion. Period. Though many didn ' t take the strong stand Foss did, the Time article said 67 percent of the nation agreed that gun restric- tions were not necessary and would be an infringe- ment on civil rights. Abortion was, perhaps, the touchiest and most emotional Supreme Court ruling of the decade. In June, the Webster v. Reproductive Health Serv- ices case was heard by the Supreme Court. The case could have reversed or re- vised the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision which officially legalized the termination of pregnancy. Organizations demon- strated their views on the issue by picketing and holding rallies. Religious groups became active in the battle proclaiming that abortion was murder and should be banned. Women ' s organizations, such as the National Or- ganization for Women, strongly opposed the il- legalization of abortion be- cause they felt it was a woman ' s right to make her own choices. They felt it would be unconstitutional if that decision was made for her. It would be harmful to society if abortion was illegalized, Denise Vogel said. The procedure would still be performed but would revert to back- alley abortions that would result in deaths. In a 5-4 vote, the court upheld the law restricting the availability of pubUcly funded abortion services and required doctors to test for the viability of a fetus 20 weeks into preg- nancy. Although the Roe v. Wade decision was still in effect, the Webster ruling restricted it, which anger- ed many people who felt their rights were slowly being taken away. by Allison Edwards and Amy Wilmes 276 Index josseen, Catherine 212 Goudge, Beth 181 Soughnour, Dave 209 Gould, Clarence 197 Gould, Diane 196, 197 Gouldsmith, Steven 154, 178, 243 Goyette, MicheUe 175, 243 Graber, Mark 211 Grable, Sabine 168, 175 Graduation 12, 13 Gragg, KeUy 243 Gragg, Usa 212 Graham, Antoinette 198, 212 Graham, Kara 215 Grant, Kenneth 209 Gravatt, MeUnda 243 Gray, Tbdd 135, 190 Greek Week 10, 11 Greeley, Rebecca 268 Green, Carrie 243 Green, Eric 141, 198 Green, Gevanea 135 Green, Judith 175, 243 Green, Roxie 243 Green, Sean 168 Greenfield, Troy 167, 211 Greer, Stephanie 243 Greewalt, Rob 243 Gregg, Marci 243 Gregory, Jennifer 243 Gress, Andy 211, 243 Gress, Kevin 183 Greunke, Brian 129, 159 Greunke, Jeff 159, 167 Griffith, Margaret 243 Grimes, Melanie 88 Grimes, Stacey 243 Grindstaff, Marc 135 Gripka, Christina 188 Gripp, Laura 184, 243 Grisamore, Stacey 178 Griswold, Melanie 212, 243 Groeben, Norbert 33 Gronau, Scott 135 Gronbeck, Jake 209, 243 Gross, Tracey 243 Grossenburg, Vance 157, 209 Grosstephan, Bradley 131, 140, 141 Gruber, Loren 268 Gruenloh, Lisa 167 Gruhn, Julie 243 Guarino, Dina 215 Guengerich, Loydena 157, 175, 243 Guilfoyle, Mary 243 GuilUatt, Matt 209 GuUickson, Kevin 183, 201, 203, 243 Gunderson, Tkmmy 243 Gundlach, Chris 212 Gunn, Rachell 187, 243 GunsoUey Michelle 243 Gunther, Geri 215, 223 Gunther, Tferi 215, 243 Gurera, William 135 Gustin, Bud 6, 196, 243, Guthrey Brad 135 Gutschenritter, Bob 223 Guy, Robin 178, 243 Guzman, Sonia 188, 196, 243 Habert, Mindy 183, 243 Habiger, Kurt 209, 223 Habisreitinger, Kia 131 Hackmann, Chad 171 Haddix, Denise 212 Haen, Ralph 18, 21, 243 Hagan, Christopher 243 Hagan, Colleen 243 Hagan, Leanne 159, 215 Hageman, Lee 77, 88, 89 Hagemeier, Melissa 212 Haight, Jeffrey 223 Hailey, Holly 243 Halbur, Cathy 196 Hale, Kendell 124 Hale, Shelly 157, 243 Hall, Jason 163, 178, 223 HaUock, WiUiam 243 Halsted, Kelly 215 Hamaker, CUnt 211 Hambrook, Owen 124 Hamilton, Rich 167, 209 Hamilton, WiUiam 187 Hamlett, MarshaU 179, 187, 223 Hamm, Paula 171 Hammar, Angela 157, 173 Hammond, Kyle 211 Hampton, Andrew 91 Hankins, Bill 32 Hankins, Marcia 32 Hanna, Julee 126 Hannah, Joy 243 Hannah, TUmmy 243 Hansen, Carolyn 184, 223 Hansen, Cindy 273 Hansen, Denise 212 Hansen, Francine 215 Hansen, Kristy 93 Hansen, Tbdd 154, 211 Hanson, Dulcie 157, 204, 205, 243 Hanway, Mark 87, 244 Hardie, Amy 244 Harding, Christine 203, 244 Harding, Pat 203, 244 Harding, Zach 135, 211 Hardy Brenda 163 Hardy, Michael 244 Harp, Michael 168 Harper, Garry 135 Harris, David 54 Harris, Debra 159, 244 Harris, Donald 244 Harris, Sally 154, 205, 206, 244 Harris, Tferry 70 Harrison, Beth 159, 178, 182, 183, 215, 223 Harrison, Kelly 193, 212 Hart, Richard 181 Hartman, Lori 244 Hartwig, Candy 212 Harvey, DeArm 215 Harvey, Sarah 244 Harvey, Steve 190, 191 Harwell, Neil 222 Hascall, Dawn 168, 244 Hascall, Ky 168, 178, 183, 224 Hasch, Deena 157, 188, 244 Hasch, Kevin 244 Hassig, Darin 211 Hatcher, Michelle 168, 184, 224 Hathaway Steve 159, 224 Hatley Payton 180 Hatton, Erin 175, 205 Hauber, Robert 171 Hauger, Lorri 157, 173, 224 Hauptmeier, C.

CYANIDE SCARE Poisoned grapes discovered A fruit panic began in March in Philadelphia when two grapes in a shipment from Chile contained small doses of cyanide. The Food and Drug Adminis- tration impounded 2 million crates of different fruits in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Miami, according to Time magazine. Consumers were warned not to eat any fruit en route from Chile. This included melons, peaches and green apples. Mil- lions of dollars of fruit laid in waste. With the discovery of the poisoned grapes came the is- sue of pesticide poisoned ap- ples. Chemicals such as fungi- cides, herbicides, insecticides and plant-growth regulators were used to protect crops and keep food prices low. Limits were set by the En- virorunental Protection Agen- cy on residue left on foods that were considered below danger levels. DEFENSE EXPENSE Cost of Stealth questioned The public anxiously await- ed the unveiling of the Air Force ' s newest defense. The B-2 Stealth bomber, one of the most talked about aircrafts, was publicly revealed in July. The Stealth bomber was made so enemy radar could not detect it. Its sleek design allowed the aircraft to absorb, rather than reflect, rays. However, the Stealth bom- ber was controversial. Many felt the craft was urmecessary and too costly. The Air Force wanted to make 132 B-2s for $530 million. Many thought such funds should be used for social projects, such as helping the homeless, while others consi - dered the advantages of the new Stealth bomber an impor- tant investment.

SUICIDAL KILLER For the money The Boston community was shocked on Jan. 4 when Charles Stuart, an affluent businessman, committed sui- cide by jumping into the Mys- tic River. Stuart took his life after it was discovered that he had murdered his pregnant wife. After the murder, Stuart ac- cused William Bennett, a 39-year-old unemployed black man, of robbing the Stuarts of their jewelry, shooting his wife in the head and then shooting Stuart in the abdo- men. The intensity of the man- hunt enraged the black com- munity because there was no real proof that Bennett had committed the crime. Police later found that Stu- art and his brother, Matthew, had worked together in the get-rich-quick scheme that in- cluded the intentional death of Carol Stuart for insurance money. BARRIER BREAKS Dinkins becomes mayor Thanks to the voting sup- port of black, white and His- panic people, David Dinkins was elected New York ' s first black mayor. Dinkins defeated former At- torney General Rudolph Giul- iani and succeeded Edward Koch, who served as mayor for three terms but did not seek re-election. One of Dinkins ' worries was not being able to increase la- bor union salaries because the city faced a $1.3 billion bud- get deficit. Bill Lynch, Dinkins ' cam- paign manager, felt he had the style to build consensus that enabled him to cope with the problems of New York. The image that you had to be a tough guy to be mayor of New York was wrong, ' ' Lynch told Time magazine.

Although they were from a variety of profes- sions and backgrounds, they all had one thing in common: public scandal. Hardly a day passed with- out seeing, reading or hearing about a scandal. Sports fans were shock- ed to hear that baseball great Pete Rose was being banned from the game for illegal gambling. Evidence was compiled which re- vealed that Rose would bet on just about any game, at any time. The most serious charge was that he bet on his own team, the Cincinnati Reds. Rose denied all al- — legations; however, baseball commission- — er A. Bartlett Gia- matti dehvered the final guilty verdict. Rose could be reinstated in one year. Multi-millionaire hotel queen Leona Helmsley faced accusations of ex- tortion and tax evasion. Helmsley allegedly bill- ed her business for per- sonal luxuries, such as her $1 million swimming pool and .$1.3,000 barbecue pit. Although she was acquit- ted of the extortion charges, she was convict- ed on 33 counts of tax eva- sion. In the political arena, Speaker of the House Jim Wright was accused of violating House ethics. A 10-month, $1.5 mil- hon investigation present- ed evidence that Wright may have deliberately smuggled extra income through his association with a defunct oil and gas company in Texas. Another political figure accused of corruption was Washington, D.C., Mayor Marion Barry. Eleven of Barry ' s aides were convicted of crimes and Barry was under cons- tant scrutiny. Barry en- tered alcohol and drug re- habilitation clinics after being arrested for alleged- ly purchasing drugs. Jim Bakker, leader of the $129 million-a-year Praise the Lord ministry, was tried for 24 counts oi conspiracy and fraud. The evangelist and sev- eral other PTL associates supposedly embezzled $4 million in ministry funds. During his trial, Bakker suffered a nervous break- down. Many thought this was just a ploy to receive a less severe punishment. As a result of the scan- dal, PTL lost a large per- centage of its membership and credibility, and Bak- ker went to prison. Hungarian-born celebri- ty Zsa Zsa Gabor was stop- ped by Police Officer Paul Former PTL leader Jim Bak- ker suffered a breakdown during his fraud trial. Bakker was found guilty and went to prison. Photo by Wide World Kramer because of im- proper tags on her Rolls- Royce. Allegedly, Gabor struck the officer as he was trying to persuade her to step out of her car. She was found guilty of assault despite her claim she act- ed in self-defense, and was sentenced to three days in jail. by Steve Rhodes 280 Index «per, Kathie 269 ■eper, Roy 269 eth, Vincent 131 ■fevere, Vickie 167 ■intz, KeUy 122 ■ming, Robb 211 ■mmon, Tim 163 ■non, Sheri 159, 251 !nz, Tbny 251 ■toumeau, Wayne 165, 168 :u, Tina 175 ?ung, PhiUp 251 •upold, Leigh 251 ;vis, Kellie 251 !w, K.

THE GIANT FALLS Douglas KOs Tyson Sports fans around the world were surprised when undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was defeated by James Buster Douglas in one of the greatest boxing upsets in history. In the eighth round Douglas was knocked down, but re- turned to his feet at the count of nine and continued. At 1:23 into the 10th round Douglas delivered four blows that sent Tyson to the canvas. Tyson struggled to his feet, but the referee stopped the fight as Tyson was not able to continue. Tyson ' s promoter, Don King, claimed the count was too slow when Douglas was knocked down. His accusa- tions resulted in controversy, but the championship was awarded to Douglas. JOINT VENTURE Time buys Warner Time Inc. and Warner Com- munications became a com- bined company. Time bought Warner for $14 billion instead of merging with the company in order to prevent a take- over by Paramount. Time also filed suit against Paramount for interfering in merger plans, accusing them of lying in their offer. The combined Time-Warner controlled numerous media outlets, including magazines, book publications, cable and broadcast. Some of Time ' s assets were Time magazine. Life, Fortune, Book-of-the-Month Club, Scott Foresman, HBO and Cinemax. Warner went into the deal with Warner Brothers and Electra Music, D.C. Comics and Mad Magazine. Because Time was used to conservative management and Warner was more Holly- wood, media skeptics looked for a clash. Index 281 CLIPPED WINGS Debt grounds airline Braniff Airlines abruptly stopped all passeriger opera- tior services at midnight on Nov. 6. The company was not able to generate enough cash to survive while providing cut- rate fares. Braniff ran into trouble as it attempted to expand its fleet and buy new aircraft. The abrupt shutdown left hundreds of flight passengers stranded with useless tickets. Other airlines offered standby tickets. Continental Airhnes was one of the other companies who helped out by providing free tickets to many Braniff employees flying to Kansas City and Dallas. UNSOLVED MYSTERY Tragedy at sea Forty-seven of 58 men were killed on the battleship U.S.S. Iowa last April when a gun turret exploded. The Iowa ' s home port was Norfolk, Va., but mourners covered the en- tire country. Gunner ' s Mate Kendall Truitt, who had been declared a hero for securing the bottom level of the turret to contain the fire, was the subject of sus- picion. Clayton Michael Hart- wig, a fellow sailor who was killed in the explosion, had named Truitt the beneficiary of his insurance policy. It was also suspected that Hartwig may have triggered the blast himself, intending suicide. Evidence for both theories existed but the possibility of murder was less prominent. Therefore, the investigation ended and military officials decided that it had been sui- cide. The lack of conclusive evi- dence leading to the accusa- tion of a once-honorable young man made what had happened an even more trag- ic event. 282 Index McNairy, Adam 135 McSherry, Kenn 175 M{?feggart, Sally 253 Mechaelsen, Bruce 227 Medcalf , MicheUe 205 Mees, Jennifer 215 Meiners, Jeff 209 Meiners, Ron 173 Meister, Scott 167, 190 Menzer, Jodi 175, 178, 212, 253 Merrick, Kerry 215, 253 Merriett, Mary 112, 113 Mertz, Paul 209 Meseck, Neal 163, 209, 253 Mesik, Christy 253 Messer, Lowell 165, 178 Messner, Sherry 141 Metzger, Kay 2, 167, 227 Meyer, Amy 203 Meyer, Barbara 26, 154, 155, 215, 253 Meyer, Juhe 212, 253 Meyer, Marsha 180 Miceli, Antonino 253 Midland, Dale 269 Midyett, Wanda 227 Migletz, James 131, 140, 141 Mikels, Denise 253 Mikesell, Mark 211 Miksch, Jennifer 253 Milam, Tferry 187, 227 Milanovich, Kurt 253 MUes, Jo 253 Miles, Suzarme 254 Milinkov, Scott 45 Milius, Timothy 168, 209 Miller, Amber 168, 254 Miller, Angela 154 Miller, Christina 188, 196, 254 Miller, Christopher 254 Miller, Daniel 135, 254 MiUer, David 47 Miller, Ellen 154, 254 Miller, Holly 254 Miller, Jackie 198 Miller, Jennifer 157, 254 Miller, Joe 176, 260 Miller, John 254 Miller, Kay 254 Miller, Ken 154 Miller, Kerry 215 Miller, Kristy 254 Miller, Lance 135 Miller, Marcia 254 Miller, Margaret 254 Miller, Matthew 211 Miller, Melissa 183 Miller, MerUn 154 Miller, Mike 217 Miller, Peggy 108, 109 Miller, Peter 211 MiUer, Shannon 157, 176, 188, 254 Miller, William 227 Millikan Hall Council 204, 205 Mills, Kathleen 157, 178, 254 Miner, Gina 165 Minor, Diana 212 Minter, Kenneth 176, 177 Mitchell, Penny 92, 227 MittUeder, Denice 163 Miyagi, Emi 254 Mock, Julie 151, 215 Moeller, Juhe 254 Moeller, Paul 209, 254 Moen, Sam 135 Mohl, Gayle 165, 227 Moldenhauer, Donald 129 Molendorp, Melanie 254 Mollus, Jentufer 171, 174, 175, 254 Momphard, David 64, 65 Moneysmith, Jeff 167 Monson, Al 211 Monson, Bart 211 Monson, Eric 35 Montague, Dale 164, 167 Mood, LezUe 171, 254 Moore, Cara 159, 174, 175, 227, 292, 293 Moore, Diane 227 Moore, Douglas 196, 197, 200 Mo ore, Eddie 254 Moore, Mark 165, 168 Moore, Sharmon 167, 254 Moore, Stephen 131, 190, 254 Moppin, KelU 175, 254 Moppin, Ronnie 227 Morast, Carol 176, 178, 184, 188, 254 Morast, Karen 254 Morelock, Victoria 227 Moreno, Christina 254 Morgan, Aruta 171, 176 Morgan, Vince 211 Morley, Roger 211 Morris, Brad 129 Morris, Christy 227 Morris, Gene 168, 198, 255 Morrison, Curtis 209 Morrissey, Samantha 212 Morrow, Steve 167 Mortenson, Daniel 227 Mortenson, Scott 131 Moss, Andrea 255 Moss, Ron 165 Moss, Sherry 255 Mosser, Kari 159 Moutrie, Laurie 188 MS 111 168 MS IV 168, 169 MU Photo Project 32, 33 Muckey, Darren 255 Mueller, Mark 255 MuUiern, Jeanette 255 Mull, Joseph 255 Mulhns, Charlotte 171 Mulvihill, Jennifer 215 Munsey, Kevin 211, 255 Murphy, Barbara 255 Murphy, Kimberly 188, 212 Murray, Shawn 209 Murray, SheUa 28, 29 Murray, Stacie 145 Musfeldt, Kurt 81, 165, 171, 178, 227 Musgrove, Kerrie 163, 255 Music Educators 168, 169 Myers, Jay 269 Myers, John 167 Myers, Marchele 255 Nader, Ralph 8, 56, 57 Nagano, Kevin 128, 129 Nagle, Jean 184 Nance, Amy 131, 255 Naprstek, Tim 211 Narak, Tbm 154, 255 Nash, Charles 198 Nash, Dervon 131, 187, 190 Naylor, JiU 53, 173 Neel, Kimberly 255 Neely, Susan 255 Neeman, Denise 157, 255 Nehring, Stephen 183 Neibauer, Gregg 255 Nelson, Betty 52, 184 Nelson, Bud 142, 143 Nelson, Chad 209, 255 Nelson, Chaddrick 190, 191, 255 Nelson, Dana 159, 178, 205, 25E Nelson, Randy 198 Nelson, Sandy 131, 142, 144, 19( Nelson, Shawn 157 Nelson, Steve 129 Nelson, Waylan 211 Nestel, Melissa 255 Nestel, Michelle 176, 215, 255 Neville, Jeff 255 Nevils, Jennifer 196, 255 New, Richard 269 Newberry, Elizabeth 212 Newberry, Stacie 255 Newbrough, Christopher 227 Newman Center 198, 199, 200, 20 Nicks, Shane 151 Nicol, Annette 227 Nielsen, Lori 168, 255 Nielsen, Robert 255 Nieman, Kimberly 178 Niemeyer, Daren 162, 163, 209 Nienhuis, Jodi 214, 215, 255 Niswonger, Joseph 154, 180, 191 202, 203, 206, 255 Noble, Quincey 129 Noe, Amy 255 Noecker, Logan 255 Noelck, James 165, 255 Noellsch, Collette 176 NoeUsch, Paul 178 NoreU, Jonas 124, 125 Northcutt, Richard 168 Northrop, Angela 95 Northwest Flyers 190, 191 Northwest Missourian 168, 169 Norton, Kim 187 Norton, Sandy 154, 255 Noschka, Gina 255 NuU, Traci 212 O ' Brien, Cory 255 O ' Brien, John 163 O ' Connor, Ann 154, 215 O ' Connor, Dean 211 O ' Donnell, Jeannie 215 O ' Riley, Kim 131, 140, 141, 190, 21 O ' Riley, Tbresa 212 O ' Shaughnessy, Stacy 255 Oglevie, Matthew 255 Olenius, Jennifer 255 OUne, Kory 151 Ohver, Adrieiuie 175 Olsen, Becky 175, 255 Olson, Juhe 227 Olson, Karen 227 Olson, Kristi 255 Oney, Don 211 Onuaguluchi, Ken 131, 135 Ordovensky, Pat 20 ■r REFORM Eastern Bloc sees changes in political policies after fall of Berlin Wall rhe winds of change blew across Eastern Europe and regime after regime of Communist leaders fell from the Black Sea to the Baltic. Perhaps most symbolic of communism ' s fall was the opening of the Berlin Wall on Nov. 9. Built by Erich Honecker in 1961, the Wall cut a generation of East Germans from the West. I was not actually by the Wall, but I was in a German restaurant called the Gast Haus, Meredith Foster, who lived with relatives in Germany dur- ing the fall, said. It was really interesting when the newscast came on about East Berlin because the West Berliners got quiet and seemed to listen with respect. I concluded that the Westerners were all for the East. The Wall fell after thou- sands of East Germans fled west and leaders real- ized that granting citizens traveling rights to the West would keep them from permanently leaving. Fi- nally, on Dec. 6, Manfred Gerlach became the first non-Communist head of state. East Germany ' s prob- lems were far from over, however. The economy was in ruins and there was a shortage of workers be- cause so many had fled the country. But, talks were underway about re- unification of the two Ger- man states. Similar reforms also came about in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hun- gary. Solidarity candidates swept June elections after 10 years of being outlaw- ed. Although Polish lead- er Lech Walesa refused to assume an official posi- tion, Tkdeusz Mazowiecki became the first non-Com- munist prime minister since the end of World War II. Large demonstrations in the so-called Velvet Revolution ' ' brought down the Czech Communist government. Playwright Vaclav Havel became president, and Alexander Dubcek, who led the Prague spring revolution in 1968 which prompted a Soviet invasion, became parUamentary president. On Oct. 7, Hungary be- came the first country to oust its Communist lead- ers, who renamed them- selves the Socialist Party. Miklos Nemeth, 40, be- came premier after voters rejected the Socialist ' s election timetable. Free elections were tentatively set for spring. Ethnic disputes and public protest were among events in Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, while the United States said it appeared that the Albanian govern- ment immediately and violently stopped stu- dent protests. But the bloodiest re- forms took place in Roma- nia, where dictator Nico- lae Ceausescu and his wife were executed following heavy fighting in Buch- arest. The National Salva- tion FVont took over the country until free elec- tions could be held, but was plagued with prob- lems ranging from confu- sion to poverty. If the Romanian people wanted to change their government, then they should have started with having a trial for Ceauses- cu, Melissa Plackemeier said. They basically did the same thing to Ceauses- cu that he was executed for. He was accused of murder and yet the Roma- nians murdered him without trial. They should have practiced the de- mocracy they wanted. In the Communist-giant Soviet Union itself, Presi- dent Mikhail Gorbachev brought new meaning to glasnost by promoting constitutional reformation that would allow for a multi-party system in February. Spurred by rumors of his resignation and ethnic vio- lence in several Soviet republics, Gorbachev met resistance when he re- quested a more powerful presidency. The winds of unrest con- tinued to blow through Eastern Europe, signahng changes for all of its citizens. Through people power and bloodshed, Eastern- ers gained hope and freedom for a non- Communist world. by Marsha Hoffman, Chris Barker and Amy Wilmes BIG NEWS RECAP YEAR ' S OF THE EVENTS Communism w As the Wall comes tumbling down, freed East Germans stand on top of the structure that once separated the two countries. The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 and came down in November after years of protest. Photo by Wide World Index 283 WHAT ' S THE SCOOP? I ON THE RISE Minimum ivage increases Congress debated whether or not to raise the minimum wage which had been $3.35 since 1981. A proposal to raise the wage to $4.65 was vetoed by Presi- dent George Bush who want- ed to raise it to $4.25 with a training wage of $3.35 for six months. Congress accepted the sub- minimum, but only for two months rather than six. A new proposal that would combine a smaOer increase in minimum wage with new tax breaks for low income workers was also proposed and supported by Bush. MASS MURDERS Shocking cases uncovered Near Chillicothe, a cattle dealer and his wife were found guilty of murdering three of their farm workers. Ray and Faye Copeland traveled to different areas in Missouri collecting transients and bringing them back to their farm. The men applied for loans to buy cattle for the Copelands, who, by eliminat- ing the workers, sold the steers without ever having to pay for them. Their ploy was uncovered when police found the bodies buried in their barn. School became a battlefield for University of Montreal stu- dents. The day before final ex- aminations. Marc Lepine, 25, murdered 14 women and wounded 13 others in a class- room. Mass murder was also com- mitted by Jeffrey Lundgren. Along with other former mem- bers of the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints in Independence, Lundgren had moved to Ohio. He was ac- cused of killing Dennis and Cheryl Avery and their three daughters. He and several of his followers were arrested. 284 Index Orme, Beverly 227 Ormsbee, Christina 159, 255 Ortlieb, Cindy 255 Osborn, Lisa 163, 215 Osmundson, Kurt 255 Otte, Darin 211 Ottman, Margaret 157, 205, 206 Ottman, Robert 211 Ottmann, Shauna 255 Ottmann, Stacy 255 Owen, Beverly 227 Owens, Dan 147 Owens, Daryl 163 Owens, Jill 151, 167 Owens, Julie 212 Owens, Kelly 255 Pace, Kathryn 65, 66, 67 Pace, Thomas 209 Pack, Chris 135 Padgitt, Dennis 163, 269 Page, Michelle 255 Palmer, Jody 43, 255, 285 Palmer, Tferri 138, 139, 167, 256 Panhellenic Council 154, 155 Parker, Bryan 209 Parker, Darin 168, 183, 256 Parker, Heath 135, 190 Parker, Scott 256 Parker, Susan 148 Parkhurst, James 196 Parkhurst, Kara 256 Parnian.

Many Americans had settled in front of their television for what they hoped would be a memorable evening of baseball. Without a doubt, the evening did prove quite eventful. However, it wouldn ' t be remembered for a grand slam or a time- ly double play. Instead, people will recall images of devasta- tion caused by an earth- quake that rocked the San Francisco Bay area. All of a sudden the TV screen went blank, Jody Palmer said. When the picture came back on it showed pictures of the earthquake and I got scared. I had cousins living out there and I didn ' t know if they were safe. The initial quake meas- ured 6.9 on the Richter scale and was followed by over 1,500 aftershocks. A portion of the Bay Bridge that joined Oakland and San Francisco collapsed as did the upper deck of the Nimitz Freeway. Fires erupted, houses collapsed, water supplies were cut and many were left with- out power. In all, there were almost 200 deaths, more than 2,000 injuries and over $5 bilhon in esti- mated damages. ' ' All the power was out, and I couldn ' t get in touch with anyone, David Bushner said. ' ' My parents lived near the freeway that had collapsed. I was really concerned. Hurricane Hugo, which struck only six weeks earlier in South Carolina, was one of the most de- structive storms in the his- tory of the United States. The storm claimed the lives of 18 people and de- stroyed more than 36,000 homes, leaving 90,000 people to seek shelter in motels and Red Cross emergency shelters. As efforts were made to rebuild the Charleston area, many citizens claimed the Federal Management Agency was not moving fast enough to help the area get re-establish- ed. Nonetheless, the federal government added $321 million for reconstruction. by Steve Rhodes and Claudia Lokamas Hurricane Hugo smashed in- to Charleston, S.C, in Sep- tember. Its 135 mph winds forced more than half a mil- lion people to flee.

Through pollu- tion and excessive garbage build up, we had created a world dangerously close to a death trap. According to Time mag- azine, the Earth ' s popula- tion was 5.2 billion. How- ever, in 1989 it gained 87.5 million people. If the increase were to continue at that rate, the world ' s population would have doubled by the year 2025. Oil spills devastat- ed our waters at two different points. Off the coast of Southern California, the Amer- ican Trader lost 300,000 gallons of crude oil. However, — British Petroleum, the company who leased the ship, quickly cleaned up the spill to the satisfac- tion of the Coast Guard. Later, the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska, leaving a 2,600 square mile oil slick behind in the Prince William Sound. The tragic result was a tremen- dous loss of life in the pol- uo s luted area. Fish, wildlife and miles of Alaskan coastUne suf- fered the ill effects of the oil spill for which the Ex- xon corporation was later indicted and fined $640 million. Garbage became a con- cern of Americans as well. Along with the excessive mounting of waste came the fear that we might be literally overrun by our own trash. According to Time, the average American dis- carded 1,300 pounds of garbage per year. This was slowly but surely burden- ing the land and brought attention to the fact that we were running out of room for our waste. The burning of the Amazon rain forest posed another problem. Accord- ing to Time magazine, the Amazon region stores roughly 75 billion tons of carbon in the trees. When they burned, they releas- ed carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Such activity could increase the intensi- ty of the greenhouse ef- J ' i KSBtwj feet, causing extreme global warming. With the ' 90s upon us, we were plagued with problems that could even- tually pose enormous set- backs for mankind unless some changes were made. by Scott Vater Thousands of workers help scrub the shorelines after Ex- xon Valdez struck a reef 25 miles from Valdez, Alaska, gushing millions of gallons of thick crude oil. It was the lar- gest oil spill in U.S. history and Exxon planned to resume clean-up in the spring if need- ed.

The jury dropped 52 counts of child molestation against Peg- gy McMartin-Buckey and her son Raymond. The nearly three-year-old, $15 million trial began after al- legations were made that the Buckeys had sexually mol- ested children who attended their preschool. The children reportedly were forced to play nude games and witness Sa- tanic rituals. Charges were dropped based on the theory that psy- chologists had ruined the videotaped testimony by ask- ing the children leading ques- tions. According to U.S. News and World Report, one juror said the youngsters were never allowed to say in th eir own words what happened. GOODBYE TODAY ' Better things ahead In an attempt to retire from her job before being replaced, Jane Pauley moved into prime time with better career oppor- tunities. Pauley began feeling threa- tened when Deborah Norville was surprisingly added to the morning cast of Today. Pauley asked for retirement, forfeiting money that would accompany her final two years on the show. Pauley ' s employers would not let her go, convinced that she was too valuable to lose. During their discussion, she came up with the idea of an evening news series, and NBC agreed to give it a try. In January, Pauley joined Tom Brokaw as a regular con- tributor of special reports on NBC Nightly News. Chan- ges, a new prime time series hosted by Pauley, aired in March. Index 287 WHAT ' S THE SCOOP? MOONLIGHTING Voyager 2 Discoveries Who would have guessed that 12 years after its launch Voyager 2 would still be going strong, sending back valuable information to astronomers? Built with 1977 technology, Voyager 2 took pictures of four planets, including Nep- tune. Referred to as the blue planet, Neptune had always mystified scientists. But after the Voyager mission, many of their questions became much clearer. It was discoverd that Nep- tune had five rings like its neighbors, Uranus and Saturn. The long-held theory that Neptune had 17-hour days was disproved by Voyager 2, which found them to last only 16 hours. In addition, six moons were discovered and more information was gather- ed about Neptune ' s largest moon, Triton. TICKING AWAY Disease causes concern A previously uncommon dis- ease spread through 43 states and reported cases totaled over 5,000. The disease was called Lyme. Lyme disease was carried in ticks that lived on white-tail deer. Owners of infected household pets could also con- tract the disease through flea bites or contact with the pets ' urine. The first sign of contamina- tion was usually a fevered, flu-like illness and occasional- ly a rash. If it continued, vic- tims could suffer from arthri- tis or a loss of nerve sensations which would partially para- lyze certain areas of the body. The damage could have been irreversible for some victims. Tick collars for outdoor pets may have helped ward off the disease. Scientists suggested people check themselves after being in wooded areas and wear protective clothing. 288 Index T kagi, Michiru 263 Talbot, Dennis 263 TUlbot, William 263 ■Hilbott, Becky 188 Tcirwater, James 92 ■Rite, Gary 187, 263 Ritum, Rodney 211 Riu Kappa Epsilon 29, 211 Taylor, Becky 205, 263 Riylor, Celeste 182 ■Rjylor, Claude 182 Taylor, Patty 263 TUylor, Rolf 211 Taylor, Scott 229 Taylor, Stephanie 193, 215 ■Riylor, Tbdd 81, 229 Tfeachout, David 168, 169, 173 Tfeale, Brad 203, 263 Tfeale, Kris 178 Tfedesco, Ed 209 Ttmple, Lori 53 Ttnnis, Men ' s 124, 125 Tbnnis, Women ' s 122, 123 Tferrell, Elizabeth 263 Tferry, Katharine 131, 171, 188, 263 Ttessman, Janna 263 Theodore, Bob 58, 59 Therkelsen, Matt 135 Thimesch, Dale 263 Thomas, Harlan 263 Thomas, Jennifer 263 Thomas, Lori 205 Thomas, Mary 263 Thomas, Michelle 263 Thomas, Paul 129, 196 Thompson, Andrea 159, 171 Thompson, Angela L. 101, 193 Thompson, Angela M. 263 Thompson, Gregory 196, 203, 263 Thompson, Jacquehne 157, 175, 176, 178, 188, 263, 280 Thompson, Jeffrey 131, 211 Thompson, John 41 Thompson, Jon 264 Thompson, Kristin 175, 215 Thompson, Laurie 61 Thompso n, Marjorie 264 Thompson, Paul 211 Thompson, Tferra 264 Thomson, Nancy 164, 165, 269 Thomson, Tracy 264 Thorne, Paula 264 Threlkeld, Shelly 212 Thurston, Tbdd 135 Tiano, Lisa 157, 175, 264 Tichenor, Loretta 175, 180, 264 Tichy, Tim 264 Ticknor, Jennifer 264 Tiefenthaler, Jay 178 Tierney, James 264 Tieszen, Monica 212 Tietz, Michele 264 Tillison, Edward 5, 134, 135, 136 Tillman, Helen 157, 175, 229 Timmons, Stacia 212, 264 Tincher, Jan 193 Tinder, Byron 6, 168, 264 Tippitt, Brad 129 Tbbin, Dawn 264 Tbdd, Timothy 168, 229 Tbliver Bryan 209 TbmbUn, Tlimi 212, 264 Tbmer Tracie 264 Tbmlinson, Tferesa 165, 168 Tbmpsett, Shannon 215 Tbms, Matt 264 Tbomey, Christine 264 Tbwer Yearbook 174, 175 Tbwnsend, Byron 229 Tbwnsend, Curtis 157, 209, 229 Tbwnsend, Dennis 163, 209 Tbwnsend, Stacy 187, 264 Track 130, 131 Tracy, Amanda 22 Tracy, Steve 264 Traylor Michael 129 Trevino, Anthony 225 Trigg, William 209 Trimble, Greg 39, 154, 203, 264 Tripp, Deborah 264 Trischler, Steven 264 Troester, Wendy 157, 264 Troth, Lisa 230 True, Stephanie 212 Tucker Angela 215 Tucker Tory 186, 187 Tucker, Vince 166, 167 Turner Becky 58, 237, 238, 264 Turner Scott 25, 264 Turner Vicky 196, 264 Turney Jim 135 Turpin, Chris 209 Turpin, Pride 8, 9, 38 TwiUigear Allan 203, 264 Tye, Rodney 131 Tye, Wendy 212 Tyler Wayne 264 Tyrrell, Scott 167 Tzeng, Herbert 188 Ulmer Sandra 157, 175, 264 University Players 29, 175 Updike, Donavan 209 Urso, Tbny 135 Uthe, Valerie 198 Valentine, Alicia 159 Valentine, Kim 264 Van Hoever Michelle 264 Van Oeveren, Shelly 264 VanBecelaere, Lea 215, 230 VanDorn, Kelsi 264 VanScyoc, Tracey 264 VanVactor Elizabeth 178, 230 VanWinkle, Kristin 188, 264 VanZomeren, Wayne 172, 173 VanZuiden, Scott 175 Vanderley, Pamela 264 Vanderpool, Tbbin 211, 264 Vanover Kimberly 215, 264 Vansaghi, Tbm 154, 159, 171 Vater Scott 175, 264 Vawter Gwen 118 Vawter Raymond 157 Veasey, Robert 124 Veatch, T mmy 264 Veerkamp, Daniel 56, 76, 203 Vernon, Belinda 188, 264 Verstraete, Tferry 264 Vestal, Stacy 264 Vestweber Christine 264 Videtto, Alvin 154, 171, 264 Viets, Sheila 159, 176, 180, 198, 230 Viner Wayne 167, 269 Vinton, Amy 159 Vinyard, JuUe 176 Vinzant, Dennis 184 Vitek, Kathryn 188 Voegele, Eric 198, 264 Voge, David 230 Vogel, Denise 184, 198, 264, 276 Vogel, Sarah 29, 215 Vogt, Julene 26, 178, 212, 264 Voisin, Peg 138 VolleybaU 138, 139 Von Behren, Scott 203 Von Seggern, Jill 265 Wade, Stanley 174, 181 Wade, Tracy 157, 163, 265 Wademan, Linnea 265 Waggoner Joseph 178, 265 Wagner, Danae 145 Wagner Darryl 131, 141 Wagner Glenn 163, 209 Wagner Usa 205, 265 Wainscott, Brent 170, 171 Wait, Jon 193, 265 Wake, Laura 212 Wake, Shawn 175, 176 Waldbillig, Laurie 154, 173, 212 Walk, Loretta 265 Walkenhorst, Bob 56 Walker Jim 165 Walker JuUe 184, 198, 199 Walker Mary 265 Walker Michael 265 Walkup, Tbm 193 Wallace, Bret 163 Wallace, George 168, 173 Wallace, Julie 168, 230 Wallace, Kevin 165, 178 WaUeck, Chris 168 WaUey, Rebecca 265 Walsh, Jim 209 Walter Colleen 154, 205, 265 Walters, TUmmy 212 Walterscheid, Angela 230 Wang, Ko 159 Wang, Shi-Yue 188 Wanninger Jonathon 209 Ward, Gail 265 Ward, Kari 198 Ward, Shane 56, 203 Ward, Wendy 176, 215, 265 Warren, Andrea 212 Warren, Dave 210, 211 Wasco, Steven 190, 265 Washington, John 135, 265 Waske, Jane 265 Wassam, Bobbi 188 Watkins, Jennifer 188, 265 Watkins, Leslie 265 Watson, Jon 211 Watson, Kyle 187 Watson, Nancy 157 Watt, KelUe 215 1 PROTEST Demonstrations, bloodshed shatter dreams of democracy World attention fo- cused on China in spring 1989 as Beijing youth gathered in the name of democracy. Students from Beying universities began gather- ing in Tiananmen Square in May when Mikhail Gor- bachev was in town. The protesters looked to Gorbachev as a role model in democratic reform. Thousands of students camped out on the square, fasting and requesting to speak with political lead- ers about reform and put- ting an end to political corruption. The number of students grew for several weeks while the world watched, anxiously anticipating the outcome of the so-far peaceful revolution. Dr. Thomas Carneal, professor of history who previously taught in Beij- ing, became ii creasingly nervous as the first Peo- ple ' s Army troops were brought in. ' ' I felt like the protective father, thinking ' please don ' t hurt them, ' Carneal said. After the 27th division of the Army was unsuc- cessful, staunchly conser- vative leaders brought in another division, the 38th. These soldiers, from a remote area of the coun- try, were allegedly told that the demonstrators were evil kUlers who were violently trying to over- throw the government. Although there were rumors that the 27th would assist students in a stand against the 38th, those hopes crumbled as hundreds, perhaps thou- sands, were felled by 38th division weaponry. Professor of internation- al business and marketing, Dr. Sharon Browning, had spent a number of years in China. She watched help- lessly in horror and dis- belief as the saga unfold- ed in front of her on television. ' ' It was the most disgust- ing, revolting misuse of power I had ever seen in my life, she said. I can ' t explain the emotions I felt as I watched this happen to these innocent people. ' ' During and after the crackdown, the govern- ment pretended that noth- ing had happened. Estimates of the number of students killed by the Army were unreliable be- cause pro-democracy re- porting was banned and propaganda was rampant. The government claimed that only about 300 had died, most of them soldi- ers murdered by blood- thirsty demonstrators, but some estimated as many as 7,000 students were slain by the Army. There were horror sto- ries of tanks running over occupied tents on the Square and soldiers stab- bing women with bayon- A symbol of Chinese stu- dents ' plea for government r eform was the Goddess of Democracy, a replica of the Statue of Liberty. The protest was started April 15 with re- quests for talks on increasing social freedoms. Photo by Wide World nets; yet, a loudspeaker in Beijing insisted there was no bloodshed on Tianan- men Square. The People ' s Army would not do that to the people. Following the massacre, there was a massive round-up, carried out by government police, of those who were involved with the movement. Browning saw the situa- tion as hopeless. I don ' t see any future for them, she said. All their resources were aim- ed at controlling the mind of the public. Carneal felt the blood- shed was totally uncalled for Having spent several years with Chinese coun- trymen, he had found them to be honest, proud and loyal to friends, fami- ly and the workplace. It seemed to me that in Tiananmen, the students weren ' t a real threat, Carneal said. They were not saying, ' we don ' t like China, ' but rather, ' we just want change ' . The ugliness of the situ- ation cost China ' s econo- my plenty. Critics abroad snubbed the country into an economic stall. In January, the Chinese government lifted an eight-month state of martial law the capital city. BIG NEWS in hoping to ease disap- proval and revive lines of credit and investment. Despite this move, the outlook for democracy in China was bleak. Ac- cording to Beijing resi- dents, the lift of martial law was only for show. There was no real change as the hardline conserva- tives remained in control. by Suzie Zech RECAP OF THE YEAR ' S EVENTS Index 289 rip r r 7 A f ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' equality after Mandela ' s release AT; BIG NEWS RECAP OF THE YEAR ' S EVENTS Mandela elson Mandela, the world ' s most famous political prisoner, was re- leased Feb. 11 after 27 years in a South African prison, accused of sabo- tage and treason. South African President F.W. de Klerk hoped the 71 -year-old Mandela could use his influence to con- vince the African Nation- al Congress and the black majority of South Africa to negotiate the governing of the country with white leaders. We have carried out the struggle legally and illegally for years, and we believe the stage has been reached where the ques- tion of South Africa can be resolved by negotiation, Walter Sisulu, an ANC col- league of Mandela, said. The government real- izes it can no longer ignore black voices, so we are telling the government our position on negotia- tions, he said. Sisulu was released in October after serving more than 25 years of a life sentence for sabotage and plotting to overthrow the white government. Sisulu ' s release, and of six other political prisoners, brought about the return of the ANC to the white-ruled country. In early February, de Klerk legalized the party, which had been banned since 1960, setting the stage for Mandela ' s release. The prisoners ' release was part of the political promises de Klerk made at his inauguration in Sep- tember to ease tensions in South Africa and begin negotiations to end the struggle between blacks and whites. I felt de Klerk was do- ing a fine job, South Afri- can student Owen Ham- brook said. At least the government was trying to make things better. It was hard when everyone want- ed to make the change overnight and it was such a slow process. Those freed and their colleagues in the ANC be- lieved the government ' s change in tone toward the black majority and negoti- ations with them was forced by domestic and in- ternational pressure. In addition, the country remained under a 3-year- old state of emergency, and the 5-year-old cam- paign of economic sanc- tions was only beginning to ease. Following Mandela ' s release, the ANC said it was willing to meet with de Klerk to discuss ending the group ' s 30-year war against apartheid. Still, de Klerk demanded After 27 years in prison.

GOLDEN MEMORIES Classic films keep rolling Two famous classics cele- brated their 50th anniver- saries. Both from 1939, Gone With the Wind and the The Wizard of Oz lived througli the golden age of Hollywood and into the ' 80s. Although movies were made much cheaper then, these two remained in the hearts both young and old movie-goers. Gone With the Wind was the most expensive and most publicized production of the time. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, known for their roles £is Scarlett and Rhett, acheived lasting fame. ' ' The Wizard of Oz was the only other movie that com- pared in size and scope to the classic. Judy Garland became famous from the flick portray- ing a naive, adventurous girl from Kansas named Dorothy. Both movies were great achievements of the American film industry. These monu- mental films left their marks in the history of theater and in the hearts of millions. TIMES CHANGE Newspapers merge Over 100 years of tradition ended March 1 when The Kan- sas City Star and The Kansas City Times merged to create a new morning publication. A shortage of advertisers and a decline in the afternoon paper ' s circulation forced the merger. The new paper was named The Kansas City Star and had more business, sports, metro- politan, world and local news than either of its predecessors had separately. It also con- tained the features, writers, columnists, comics, puzzles and staff members from both papers. No employees were laid off, but approximately 58 people accepted incentives for early retirement. Index 291 the big and the little of it y crusty eyes circled the room, halt- ing at the glowing digital clock numer- als floating in midair, encased in a self- created cloud of soft red light: 5:13 a.m. Another knock penetrated the dark- ness. I feebly asked who it was. It ' s Cara, came the reply. 1 cracked the door and squinted out at the two grinning women in the hall: Editor in Chief Cara Moore and Manag- ing Editor Teresa, alias Tree, Mattson. Congratulations. You got the job. I was told to dress myself and the next thing I knew I was riding in a car, a grocery bag over my head, with the other new Tbwer editors. Following something similar to a Chinese fire drill in the Hy-Vee parking lot at the crack of dawn, we arrived at the home of our beloved adviser, Laura Widmer In her basement we underwent a strange ritual which included wearing blue marker pen necklaces and chant- ing this phrase: We ' re yearbook geeks; we ain ' t no freaks. Our first love is Tower, no mat- ter what the hour. Chestnut the dog watched, unanius- ed. That should have been my first clue. What followed was a year of late nights, early mornings, formed friend- ships and, yes, good times. Having had a precedent set for us by the creators of the last six award- winning books, we set out with a goal of excellence. Only three of the 11 ed- itors were vete- rans, so there was not only much to do, but also much to learn. And learn we did. The basement of Wells Hall was our classroom and we were each other ' s teachers. The education wasn ' t all about copy, design and photography, al- though we did learn plenty about those topics: it was about team- work and learning to live with human differences. Variations among Tower editorial and staff members could perhaps best be ex- emplified by a recap of musical prefer- ences. Allison Edwards loved Metallica, although she never forced the rest of us to listen to it, bless her heart. On the opposite extreme, Kristi Madi- son listened to Amy Grant and Cara liked James Tkylor Scott Vater Uked anything loud and Tree liked weird stuff like Yaz and Fine Young Cannibals. Don Carrick claimed to like Rush and R.E.M., yet he constantly borrowed our tapes and shuffled back to the dark- room in his monster slippers with his red ponytail and print tray, and our tapes would never be seen again. With its maze-like architectural fea- tures, the bottom floor of Wells Hall provided compartments for everything from group gatherings to snoozing. Copy people could usually be found in the typesetting room: an obscure little meatlocker of an area in which it was necessary to run the a.c. in the dead of winter Here you might find the index- ing queen, Michelle Larison, gazing into Minerva ' s screen, giggling over a name to the tunes emitted by her Pepto- Bismol pink tape player, or maybe Kristi, peacefully, pleasantly and grace- fully typesetting away. Gorgeous, red-headed Jenny Fair could be found in the hallway, X-acto knife in hand, slicing and waxing at the Tower Editors. Front Row: Laura Widmer, Allison Edwards, Cara Moore, Stephanie Frey, Jenny Fair and Suzie Zech. Back Row: Tbresa Mattson, Brandon Rus- sell, Marsha Hoffman, Kristi Madison, Don Carrick and Michelle Larison. light tables and occasionally receiving phone calls from suitors, whom she would reject, of course, in favor of stay- ing at Wells Hall. Stephanie Frey was just around the corner, standing on one leg, flamingo-style, eyeballing a spread at the flat light table. Laura was up front with Cara and Tree at the hub of activity, reading, counseling, joking and performing the fine art of photo spot-toning. Allison could be found almost any- where: writing, or on the phone check- ing facts. Whenever she looked at the floor and pulled her hair up in the air on one side, it meant she was getting stressed about one of her many jobs. Marsha Hoffman handled all the sports and tied up loose ends all over Wells Hall. Speaking of ends . . . we ' ll ' all call you Spot from now on, Marsha. Don, Brandon Russell and the photo gang hung out at the other end of Wells. In addition to being fine photographers, these guys could also sing and dance! Hardly a Monday meeting went by that ' someone wasn ' t serenaded mid-circle with the birthday song. Brandon, the big ham, did the Romeo thing down on his knees with the others gathered all around. The tale isn ' t complete without men- tioning staffers, who played such a big [ part in putting together the 1990 Tower. Thanks, Adrienne Oliver, for trilling I your r s and doing jigs beside thei copy machine with ' an imaginary rose clenched between your teeth, and thank you, Myla Brooks, for show- ing us how to car- ry ourselves proud- ly. Thanks, Susan Maynes, for the ' ' butt-kickin ' down-home hu- mor, and thanks, Dale Brown, for the interview. Thanks every- one.

After reported rapes, individuals formed a service to escort women after dark. Taylor Commons Cafeteria closed its doors to reopen in the fall as a conference center, and more renovations in the Student Union were in the works. Our parking was re- stricted to give faculty a 24-hour lot. The Univer- sity re-evaluated the situ- ation after we voiced our concerns. We questioned policies, converting our ideas into solutions. Even though some changes were made without us, it wasn ' t be- cause we weren ' t asking, ' What ' s the big idea? ' Students who choose to ignore parking restrictions pay the consequences. The lot was reserved for faculty ' round the clock and on weekends.

According to Shell, he towed as many as 20 cars daily immediately after the change.

The Tbwer includes 296 pages with a press run of 2,800. -r what ' s the big idea? he big idea of dedicating myself to yearbook came in 1986 when I attended my first practicum meeting. Expecting a lecture, 1 was relieved when the edi- tors walked in singing the chorus of Delta Dawn. As they conducted the class, it was obvious they were best friends who loved what they were doing. I was envious. That night I set a goal to someday be the Tbwer editor in chief. Now, four editor positions later, I ' m ending my yearbook and college careers simultaneously, which is rather appropriate because they are inseparable. For me, college was yearbook: four years of learning, growing and establishing pri- orities. Thanks to my family and understanding boyfriend for giving me up all those weekends. Rest assured it was time well spent. Although all you yearbookers deserved to be crowned Geek of the Week or presented the Mask of Shame, I couldn ' t have asked for a more hard working, good-natured group. Pho- tographers learned to overcome fuzzy eye while entertaining me with darkroom dances. Writers competed to see who could persuade me to approve headlines. Oh, the things 1 was offered in exchange for my stamp of approval! And designers, with crash courses in staying up for three consecutive days and designing T-shirts, your career opportunities are unlimited. You probably didn ' t hear it enough, but my biggest thanks goes to the editors and adviser As a perfectionist, I expected too much at times, but when you began to fall asleep under light tables and while lecturing, I knew you had given Tbwer your last ounce of energy. But what would the year have been without a few hairaches or ou t of body experiences? Without sharing childhood confessions about belly buttons and nude drawings at 6 a.m.? And aren ' t we better persons for knowing the names and spellings of 5,900 students? I wouldn ' t trade any of your friendships for four years of leisure. We started the year as strangers, but sharing hotel rooms, clothes, gum and germs quickly qualified us as a family. Allison taught me all I ever wanted to know about Metallica but was afraid to ask, and Steph ' s knowledge of philosophy convinced me that cats have been vastly overblown in their cosmic proportion and deserve to go to a feline purgatory. Thanks, Jenny, for telling me how to protect myself against horse bites and how to use tape in place of clothing. Kristi is living proof that journalists can be mild-mannered and endure a deadline without swearing while Chris ' health reports about sugar-free donuts made us all feel a little better about eating them at every meal. We received training on being sneaky from Brandon, who excelled as a stowaway roommate. Look before you sit was the message Marsha preached. Like they say, actions speak louder than words. Suzie offered us stability, the finest in home-cooked food and worldly advice on loving thy neighbor and listening to the dull and ignorant. Don shared his keen drumming tech- niques with us, but was a little protective of his tresses and refused to let me try out my hot rollers on him. Although the typesetting room brought out the worst in Michelle and her hair, we overlooked that and convinced her that honesty isn ' t always the best policy. From Tree we learned . . .well, we learned to look at things from a new perspective. The courtesy laugh will be on us, though, if all the chairs start breaking, if Milton Bradley buys the rights to the Ha game or if SchoolHouse Rock songs become a top 40 hit. I ' m glad you ' re taking over the power seat. Tree. I couldn ' t have survived the year without you. And then there ' s Laura. Her open-door policy applied 24 hours a day, that is, if we could get past her killer dog. But, Laura, if you think opportunity is knocking on your door, don ' t answer it: you know who it ' ll be. Actually, Laura opened a lot of doors for me. She not only set the example of being a profes- sional journalist, but also of offering unconditional friendship. From her I learned there ' s not an answer to every problem thrown our way, but there is a graceful way to handle it. May the Tower traditions of no heat, free meals from Uncle Bob and alphabetized filing systems continue. A big ole farewell to you all. Cara Moore 1990 Tower Editor in Chief
