Arriving in town was hectic when Interstate 29 traffic was rerouted through the ' Ville and by-pass construc- tion was as active as ever. A recycling program greeted us and IT seemed everyone was environ- mentally aware as we separated paper, aluminum cans and trash. Northwest faced changes as Lamkin Gym and Roberta Hall construction con- tinued while we found on-campus dining improvements with remodeling of the Grill Works, World of Cuisine and the addition of Dunkin ' Donuts. Despite all of the changes there were still traditions like Family Day, but even Homecoming had a twist that was ALTOGETHER different. I enjoyed Family Day be- cause it gave me a chance to meet some kids that I normally woold not have gotten the chance to meet during the games. It was always a challenge for me to meet as many families and remember them throughout the year. In fact, some of my most memorable experiences happened on Family Day ' Bobby Bearcat said. 4 2 Opening Students select meals in the Grill Works. Dining facilities were remodeled over the summer.

We focused all of our atten- tion on it for the whole year. No matter what other Greeks were going to participate Delta Chi ' s would always participate in all three divisions be- cause of our tradition ' Greg Glesinger said. 4 W Homecoming got off to a controver- sial START when Disney requested our theme be changed to avoid a lawsuit and breach of copyright contract. We finally kicked off festivities with beautiful weather in late October. Despite controversy, the Ville was expanding with new owners and busi- nesses developing throughout town. Al- though we fought rumors Taco Bell, Taco Johns gave us a change for the better with a new restaurant on South Main Street. A comic store gave us SOMETHING different to look at and another grocery store came to town. With BIC changes happening at Northwest, we all chipped in and made the year SOMETHING ELSE ALTOGETHER 4 Opening 5 6 Student Life Division As most students left the ' Ville for summer break, some stayed around for ANOTHERsemester, cooling off their days at the Maryviile Aquatic Center. The bar scene finally seemed com- plete when The Pub reopened its doors on Aug. 26. Another YEAR in college would not have been complete without facing controversial issues such as ho- mosexuality on campus. The Residential Hall Association faced controversy when dorm police cut the word dorm ALTOGETHER and requested that students use the term residence hall. We welcomed friends and relatives for Family Day and found that students were catching on to the country scene while joining the Chiefs mania. It seemed everyone had their own role IN ENTUFE 4 After 50 years of service The Pub closed April 30. 1993, leaving students witti one less bar to chioose from. The Pub reopened after remodeling by the new owner Jerry Sturm. Photo by Jon Britton. Student Life 7 TheMaryville Aquatic Center offers new job opporliiiiilics for students like Garry Harper.

Building the Aquatic Center added pride to our commu- nity, RodAuxier, of Maryville Harks and Recreation Depart- ment said. No other community around here had a facility like what ' e had here. According to Auxier, the condi- tion of the old pool did not meet health and safety standards. We felt a new pool was needed and thought about refurbish- ing the old pool. Auxier said. But we decided a new Aquatic Center would be better. The building of the Aquatic Center also brought 32 new job opportunities to Maryville. Twenty life guards, 1 1 swimming instructors and a manager were hired. For students, the Aquatic Center was a new place to hang out and catch some rays. The shallow edges of the pool were perfect for those who liked to lay out. I went five or six times, Amy Slater said. I liked the new pool because I could layout and not get hot. The $1.6 million complex offered a new way for students to cool off during the summer. The new pool was a lot bigger and it was really not that expensive for the type of center that it was, Amanda Endicott said. The big slides, cool water and a place to lay out were popular enough that even Mother Nature could not drive away the crowds that exceeded 45,750 as the new center proved to be a great success. INTHE POOL AQUATIC CENTER ADDS PRIDE TO COMMUNITY I BY RUBY DITTMER A REFORM IN BUSINESS RECENT ADDITIONS BECOME AN INNOVATIVE REALITY BYSUEMOHAMED W ' aryville was going through a transitional phase, giving college students and the community a change. Everyone was excited at the prospects of flourishing businesses in town. Students gave a high rating for the Maryviile Aquatic Center, which opened on Memorial Day. The idea was to bring in a large crowd and add something new for Maryviile. Shawn Powell, assistant manager, said. The $1 .6 million project attracted 1,500 swimmers on their best day. The remodeled pool included diving boards, four therapeutic jets and lanes were increased from six lanes to eight. The slides were terrific, Sue Steins said. 1 was really surprised they did it that way. This was Maryviile. 1 had never dreamed anything like that. Dunkin Donuts also received an overwhelming response when business began in August. With ARA being the second on-site production facility in the country, Jerry Throener, director of food services, was optimistic and expanded selling hours to include Saturday and Sunday mornings. A new Taco Johns, located between South Main and South Avenue, opened for business on June 1 4. According to manager Dave Williams, the old Taco Johns was too small to accommo- date the expanding business. New items such as deli-club burritos and Mexican pizzas, which we were introducing, required more kitchen space, Williams said. The Comic Asylum was a newcomer to North Side Mall. After opening in July, busi- ness was good and manager Randall Bacon planned to add more shelves and a bigger se- lection. A new liquor store located next to the post office was Cork n Keg. Despite competition with other stores, business was expected to prosper. We had to keep the prices down in line with everyone else. owner Darren White said. We offered more in ways of service, not just the product. Northwest would even add something for fitness-conscious students. The $6 million Lamkin Gym renovations would be completed in June 1994. Additions included basketball, tennis, volleyball and racquetball courts, suspended walking and jog- ging tracks, lights and motorized bleachers, athletic training room, classrooms and a physiology lab. This renovation was necessary because the old gymnasium was over 30 years old and had limited facilities. Bob Lade, coordinator of renovation, said. Mozingo Lake, a $5 million project that began in the mid-60s. was coming true for citizens of Maryviile. Construction began in 1990 and the lake was to be completed in 1994. Mozingo offered a recreational facility with camping, beaches, fishing, boating, golfing and hiking. It would give students and community a choice of a different place to go. I had to go down to St. Joseph for activities and entertainment, Carol Davis said. I was looking forward to the Mozingo project so that it would keep us in town. With new businesses in operation, Maryviile was turning in to a new lease of life and a place to call home for many students. 10 New To The ' Ville ARA worker Kill lis RliisiK-sliclps.icuvliimcrplckouiiliniyhmiis.

Student Life 11 FLOOD LECACY AMES, IOWA: The flooding from the Skunk River and Squaw Creek swept through Iowa State University pouring 16 feet of wa- ter into Hihon Coliseum. DESMOINESJOWA: Flood waters damaged the main water plant leaving 250,000 residents without safe drinking water for 1 7 days. HANNIBAL, MO.: A new flood wall protected downtown, but a levee broke one mile up- stream which caused 9,000 acres of farmland to flood. JEFFERSON CITY, MO.: The main link to Columbia, U.S. Highway 63, was closed. Most of several hundred residents of north Jefferson City were evacuated. KANSAS CITY, MO.: Kemper Arena and American Royal buildings filled with three feet of water and went without electricity for 18 hours. K f PARKVILLE, MO.: After ap proximately five feet of water flooded the downtown area, three fourths of the businesses were covered in mud. The city hall and post office also had to be moved temporarily. ST. JOSEPH, MO.: The water system that serviced 85.000 resi- dents was knocked out for a week. Buildings at Iowa Sate University in Ames, Iowa, were heavily damaged, in- cluding Hilton Coliseum, where 14 feet of water stood on the main level. School officials believed water would not touch the complex, therefore it was never in- sured against flood damage. Photo by Jon Britton.  n what some analysts called the greatest natural disaster of the century, the Great Flood of 93 devas- tated the Midwest with 51 deaths; 65,000 people evacuated from their homes; 34 million acres of land flooded; 50,000 people left unemployed; 517 coun- ties declared federal disaster areas; 57,000 destroyed homes and $5 billion to $10 billion in damages. Many areas were hit as rainfall started in June and did not let up for weeks. Des Moines, Iowa, went without power and water for weeks. Parkville, Riv- erside and St. Joseph, Mo., were flooded and St Joseph also lost its water supply for one week. Northwest was af- fected by the flood, even if minuscule in propor- tion to other areas. It looked like we were down in part-time stu- dents, Michael Walsh, director of Enrollment Man- agement, said. We called freshmen over the sum- mer and there were some who said they weren ' t coming because of the flood. Walsh said others stated financial reasons were the cause for non -enrollment. Walsh said about 30 to 50 people contacted the Financial Assistance Office to say that the flood affected them. — continued THE OREAT FLOOD OF 93 BY DON MUN5CH ilitKlf ' f ' fl • FLOOD OF 93 We had 25 percent of our zip code areas declared disaster areas, Walsh said. So. I ' m sure if affected students, but it was hard to tell. Like Walsh, Dr. Denise Ottinger, dean of students, did not believe the flood ' s effects would be seen until later. I thought we were more fortunate than our sister institu- tions, Ottinger said. I thought our impact from this had been minimal. A new installment was initiated by Northwest to help students who were affected by the flood. Fewer than 1 students used the plan, according to Treasurer Jeannette Whited. Terri Weichinger, assistant director of financial aid, said many flood victims came in to find out what would be available for them in terms of relief packages. Some had come in to process for loans where they previously did not apply, Weichinger said. We looked at cases on a case-by-case basis. There had to be a determination of loss of their home, farm or some other property. She said some assistance funds, such as the Perkins Loan and work study, were increased and that not everyone had to have lost property to be affected. Some of them were hurt indirectly - they were laid off from ajob, for instance, Weichinger said. That hurts just as much. We treated them just as we would anyone else in our professional judgment. Some students were not directly affected by the flood, but witnessed the flood at its worst. My home wasn ' t affected, Tony Wood, from Hannibal, Mo., said. My neighborhood was up on a hill, but some of the lower-lying areas of tow n were completely under water. However. Emilie Allen, from Glasgow, Mo., said her home was ravaged by waters that consumed the basement and part of the second floor of her home. Renovations were made to redo what the flood destroyed, though the water did not damage the entire premises. We didn ' t have a chance, Allen said. When the levee broke, there was a roar and the water just came through. A lot of folks nearby couldn ' t go back because their homes were destroyed. Allen said her family was severely hurt financially because their livelihood was dependent on crops, which w ere destroyed. One student, not directly affected, was Jeff Roe, who worked during the summerfor the National Guard in Northwest Missouri at Amazonia and Craig. Roe ' s job entailed 12-hour shifts that included evacuating and security clearances. He said the towns were accessible by boats only. It was tragic to see what the flood did, Roe said. You never actually saw how bad it was until you were involved. Tracy Maisel, Hannibal, Mo., said her father lost his cabinet-making business, due to the flood, which was located in the Bearcreek flood plain and had no insurance. It was really sad to see people who lost everything. Maisel said. There were some things you just could not replace like pictures, antiques, etc. Maisel said the heroes of the relief effort were the ones who made a difference; the people who donated time and money. Though the flood menaced the Midwest the way Hurricane Andrew mauled Miami, people learned that Mother Nature should never be taken for granted. 14 Flood The lack of prolecliun lor homes in Ihc residential area around Bear Creek in Hannibal. Mo., stirred coniroversy because several families thought the city had neglected to protect them.

Student Life 15 A MORE THAN jU$T LETTERS CREEKS HAVE FUN WHILE HELPIN6 CHARITIES BY SARA MEYERS s fraternities and sororities proudly displayed their letters throughout Greek Week they unified and competed in philan- thropies, fun and games. With the sidewalks decorated in colored chalk and banners draped out of Roberta Hall windows, the theme Life ' s Short, Be Greek, kicked off the week. Games began after the ribbon cutting ceremony and Greek Sing, which seemed to be the highlight of the week. The Most Spirited Greek Song was awarded to the Phi Mus and Delta Chis. Phi Mu also won the award for Most Creative Greek Song. Greek Week was not just fun and games, for some it signified unity in the Greek system. I enjoyed the Greek Sing the best because all the Greeks were there and everyone participated, Shon Mosser of Sigma Phi Epsilon said. The Greeks sponsored a car wash in the Hy-Vee parking lot to benefit Camp Quality, an organization to help children with cancer. Fraternities and sororities also held a Rocking Chair-a- thon where Greeks sat in a giant rocking chair in front of the Nodaway County Courthouse to collect donations for Camp Quality. I thought it (Greek Week) strengthened us with the commu- nity, for once, they could see all the good that the Greek system actually did, Mosser said. Some of the community and the school were blind to all that came out of the system. For instance, seeing us raise money for Camp Quality. Other beneficial events in- cluded tree planting and a clothing drive. Another new event added was the canned food sculpting. Organizations held a food drive and used what they collected to build artistic arrangements and then the goods were given to needy families. During the week there were also competitive and non- competitive games that produced challenges and laughter for spectators as well as the participants. Some of these events included games such as the tug-of- war competition, the wheel- barrow races and the chariot races. I liked watching the chariot races, Heidi Brenner of Delta Zeta said. It was funny seeing the chariot that was made out of all kinds of things being pulled by three guys. Mary Peterson, an instructor from Iowa State University in Ames, attended Greek Week on Monday to give a lecture as a keynote speaker in Mary Linn Performing Arts Center. Peterson spoke about why students chose to become a part of the Greek system and helped members to understand that all of the organizations experienced similar problems. She was really good becaus e she understood college stu- dents, Brenner said. She was very inspirational and support- ive, she made the problems we had seem petty and somewhat unimportant. She helped me to realize that my sorority was not the only one with problems. Thursday night concluded Greek Week with the awards ceremony held in the Conference Center. Sigma Sigma Sigma and Sigma Phi Epsilon were named Outstanding Greek Orga- nization. The award for Most Pariticipation went to Alpha Sigma Alpha and Tau Kappa Epsilon.

This was a sce- nario ail too common for students moving in for the school year. Twin sisters Jacqueline and Jennifer Thornton had the plea- sure of moving in twice after they learned they had moved into the wrong room in Hudson Hall. We just thought there was one 211, Jacqueline said. We didn ' t think there was more than one. The door was unlocked so they thought they had the correct room, but moving into their first room was not as easy as they had hoped. It felt like a 102 degrees, we were sweating bullets and lugging everything and getting everything in our drawers, Jennifer said. We didn ' t have a fan at that time, we had almost everything put away when someone came in and asked to see our keys. That ' s when we knew something was up. So they loaded everything up and headed to the correct room. Moving in was a stressful time. However, for most upper- classmen getting settled in the residence halls was easier. I knew how I wanted to arrange my room and the freshmen were still trying to put their room together, Michelle Leeper said. It was nice helping them because I had already been through it. These first weeks of school were not complete without visits to the grocery store and Wal-Mart. I went three or four times that week to Wal-Mart, Whitney Roach said. We bought dumb things that we did not think we needed, like tape and silverware. After bags were unpacked and trips to Wal-Mart and Food- 4-Less were made students were ready for the year to begin. Freshmen had a lot of support during the first weeks of college. Northwest ' s orientation program. Advantage 93, of- fered different activities during the week. The first feeling that I got from Northwest was that I was really going to like it, Katy Jackson said. I thought most of the people here were really cool. The RAs made the first week go a lot easier. Among all the activities, the highlight of the week for most students seemed to be hypnotist Jim Wand. Amanda Brown enjoyed the show and was flabbergasted by w hat happened on stage. I was surprised by the things he got people to do, Brown said. I doubt they would have done those things if they new the were in front of a large audience. The part I liked the best was when the guy was pretending he was Michael Jackson. Another activity which received a good turn out and high marks was comedian David Naster. Naster was really funny, Neil Neumeyer said. The girls around me were surprised by what he was saying, but he was really good and very funny. Theevents that students participated in during their first week gave them a feel for Northw est. with first impressions affecting what they thought about college life. - ' 18 Moving In L ' ndi.Th |iiU)sis.Aiiloiii(il. in ckiLC docs his best Micli;iL-l .Lickson iiiiil;ilKin. livciuiKi-i his 12lh appcariiiKx- ill Norlhucsi. hspiiolisi Jini Wimd «lis siill ;i biy siicx ' Css, Pholii by Toil) Micch.

Student Life 19 o A VISIT TO THE VI LLE FAMILIES SPEND QUALITY TIME BY SARA MEYERS n an average weekend, Saturday mornings were spent sleeping in, doing laundry and recovering frorn the night before. However, on Family Day residence halls were buzzing with activity and signs were hung outside the halls welcoming parents to the annual festivities. Students were shutting alarms off before 7 a.m., rising with intentions of cleaning up and straightening the room before their parents arrived. Sometimes, sending over-night guests home was a part of preparing for the family visit. Kristin Deady managed to send her boyfriend back to Blue Springs, Mo., before her parents arrived. I had to send my boyfriend home early, Deady said. We had been together for nine months and my parents still did not like him. After dirty clothes were shoved into the closet and dishes were rinsed off in the bathroom sink, a quick straightening of the room was done just before mom and dad knocked on the door. Once parents arrived, the University had several activities planned for families to partake in. Because of chilly weather conditions, a picnic that was scheduled to be held on the Bell Tower patio was mo ed into the J. W. Jones Student Union. Families also enjoyed a carnival held beside Colden Pond. The carnival was a new addition to the agenda. Although the event was not a large one, among the activities was the clown Bumbles who made artistic hats out of balloons, goldfish racing, sponsored by Student Senate and the Residential Hall Association held a ring toss. Another booth set up by Alpha Sigma Alpha provided participants a chance to throw pies at sorority members. Even with all the different booths, the carnival did not receive high marks by everyone. To be honest, Steve Liningar said. I thought it was cheap. We expected more from a carnival. Most of the games they had were geared toward little kids, they needed more for older people. Some students went without parents on Family Day because they did not think there was anything interesting to do. I didn ' t even tell my parents about it, Jason Cisper said. I walked around this campus everyday. Why should my parents come and do that with me? The annual football game against Washburn turned out to be the highlight of the day. The Bearcats took the Icabods with a score of 61-36. It was wonderful the football team won, Jennifer Beekman said. It was a great day to meet my friend ' s parents. I really thought the parents had fun seeing how we lived our lives for a day. Family Day was a time to be with people who made one feel at home and this was done by a visit with friends already at Northwest or relatives from home. After parents began the drive home and signs were ripped from the walls, students returned to their rooms and began the normal life of a college student. ill The Bearcat cheerleading squad supports Bobby Bearcat as he motivates the crowd during the game against Washburn. Bobby ' s enthusiasm paid off as the ' Cats ended the game 61- 36 over the Icabods.

Northwest began wondering hov they were going to increase on-canipus housing. Changes in the residence halls nia ha e just been the answer. The biggest change that took place in the residence halls was the designated smoking and non-smoking floors. Karl Hertz, an resident assistant on a smoking tloor in Phillips Hall, said onl a couple of residents snmkcd. Wayne V ' lncr anticipated more non-smokmg Hoors the following year due to less student smokers. .Another change was the microvsaves that residents were allowed to have in their rooms, which were once banned. We checked with other uni ersities and found that a maxi- mum 700 watts was safe with llni ersit_ policies. Viner said. Students responded w ah positive attitudes to changes. I losed ha ing a n)icrowa c in otirroom. Renee Hahn said. It was more con enient than running down the hall to the lounge. According to Viner. residential life coordinator, the campus was on a three- ear handicap facility plan, where all halls would become handicap accessible. H en with the changes made to residence halls and the reno ations of Roberta Hall, a greater demand for rooms on campus was expected. Instead, the south fourth tltmr w ing of Hudson Hall and fourth floor of Tow er w ere closed. The rooms, according to Viner. housed approximately 48 students. It was upsetting to see so many students living in that hall to nunc off campus, when the money received from campus housing was used to help restore Roberta, Viner said. Re enue was lost from the students choosing to live off campus and mo e back in next fall. Also, some of the hall director ' s apartments were renovated to gi e them a more home-like appearance. New carpet w as laid dow n, ceiling fans were added and several other changes were made. Wilh all the improvements being made, the Residence Hall Association wanted to distinguish between the characteristics of residence halls and dormitories. According to Curtis Heldstab, RHA president, an educational program called dorm police was started by the RHA executive board. This was to increase the awareness of the differences between past dormitories and present residence halls. The dorm police, which consisted of the executive members of RHA, sent letters to people who had used the word dorm instead of residence hall. The letter asked them to change their word choice along with a 50 cent fine. The .SO cents was an attention getter, Heldstab said. Pay- ment was never expected and the program was meant in fun. Heldstab thought the program was blown out of proportion. Students had a misconception of people running around with a pencil and paper in hand and writing eveyone ' s name dow n that said dorm, ' Heldstab said. Even with the negative feedback, we had increased awareness and that was our goal. From handicap accessible rooms and microwave ovens to an increased awareness of the term residence hall. the image of the halls made a change for the better. RESIDENCE HALLS FACE CHANCES HELPIN6 STUDENTS FEEL AT HOME BYSHERRI MCCORKINDALE AND AMANDA MCMANICAL Student Life 23 SOMETHINCi TO REMEMBER DISNEY THEME CREATES CONTROVERSY BY SARA MEYERS he Wonderful World of Northwest brought Disney charac- ters, crowds and controversy to campus for the annual Home- coming weekend. However, this was not the original theme that was decided upon. The Walt Disney Corp. was concerned w ith the original Northwest theme, The Wonderful World of Disney, claiming it was a breach of copyright laws. A Federal Express letter was sent by Disney officials to the University administrators asking for the theme to be reconsidered. The request made by Disney only affected the promotions that Northwest was using for the event. Northwest immediately took control of the situation by altering the theme to meet the requests made by Disney to avoid a possible confrontatit)n v. ith attorneys. According to Dave Gie.seke, director of News and Informa- tion, the problem was solved by changing the theme to The Wonderful World of Northwest. After the initial problem was repaired, the tensions of prepar- ing skits for the Variety Show, the floats and jalopies for the parade were taken under consideration. Because of the conflict with Disney, the original names of the characters had to be omitted from any performance or parade entry. Some skits such as The Wonderful World of Pinocchio had to be switched to The Wonderful World of Woody. The annual Variety Show, held Wednesday through Friday of Homecoming week in the Mary Linn Performing Arts Center, contained various Greek and independent orga- nizations who were perform- ing skits and olio acts. The Variety Show contained seven skits, seven olio acts and it was the first time the Variety Show was not held through Saturday of Homecoming week. Students that performed in the annual Variety Show skits spent an abundance of time practicing and preparing for their debut. Kelly Burger of Alpha Sigma Alpha won Best Actress for her performance as Woody. We put in about 25 hours a week, Burger said. It (the award) was given out at the football game and there was a lot of people there. It was a great honor. I had never been in any theater type production before so it was a lot of fun. On Wednesday night of the Variety Show the Homecoming King and Queen were presented and crowned in front of a full house. Byron Willis sponsored by Delta Zeta and Leslie Hagan sponsored by Sigma Sigma Sigma were elected by the student body as King and Queen. Another highlight of the Homecoming festivities was the annual parade held on Saturday morning. For the first time in several years the weather held warmer temperatures, sunshine and blue skies for the days activ ities. During the week however, weather dampened spirits as rain caused a delay in tToat preparation. Wet weather caused many floats to be draped in plastic to protect the pomp decorations from becoming ruined. Finally, Northwest students, alumni, family and friends lined — continued The Bearcat Tales portrayed by Alpha Sigma Alpha members, Becky Hassig and Am Lo ell, march down College Avenue in front of the Alumni House. Because of the conflict in theme the title of the clowns had to be changed from Ducktales to Bearcat Tales.

Along with floats, clowns and jalopies in the parade, there were high school marching hands from across the region that traveled to Northwest to join in the celebration. However, there were not as many high school bands entered in the parade as in years past. The parade was a bit shorter this year. Thompson said. Missouri Western had their Homecoming the same day as ours and some bands went there, because it was closer. The community of Mary ville also helped out with the Home- coming parade. Several businesses and individuals, including Chip Strong and Joe Zahnd, donated money to a parade fund which was established to help cover the high costs organiza- tions encountered when producing a float. The average price tag for the cost of producing a float was approximately $3,000 for each organization. We established a fund this year, called the Community Parade Fund. Thompson said. Everyone who entered a float in the parade got an equal amount to give more of an incentive. It wasn ' t much but we wanted to help them out. The residence halls also joined in the Homecoming spirit by decorating in accordance to the theme. Franken Hall had the characters in Disney ' s Jungle Book on display in front of the hall. Hudson Hall held a contest for best floor decoration that was judged by the custodians and several hall directors. Center Second Hudson entered the contest with their rendi- tion of the Cinderella fairy tale. The floor decorated the hall by hanging blue curtains made with toilet paper for the entrance, hand sketched paper on the walls and a talking goose at the entryway. Three hostesses lead people down the hall narrating the Walt Disney version of the story and at the end guests were served lemonade in the part of the hallway that was called the palace. We spent a lot of time putting it all up. Jennifer Beekman said. The first part of the hall was lined with hand-drawn illustrations of the story and the second half was the palace. We covered the water fountain with a blue aluminum foil type paper and put a glass slipper on top of it. The tloor won the contest with this performance and decora- tion portraying the famous tale of Cinderella and her wicked step sisters. After the parade on Saturday morning, the afternoon held the annual Homecoming football game in a packed Rickenbrode Stadium. Northwest ' s starting quarterback Lawrence Luster was sus- pended from the Homecoming game due to a violation of team policy after being arrested for suspicion of shoplifting. According to the police report. Luster was arrested for larceny following an incident at a local business, in which a bottle of gin was taken without being paid for. Luster ' s arrest led to a one game suspension and quarterback Greg Teale started in his first collegiate game against South- west Baptist University. — continued Dressed as a groundskeeper.

Student Life 27 REMEMBER It was fun having my first start on Homecoming, even though it was in a bad situation, Teale said. The game concluded in Northwest ' s sixth consecutive loss on Homecoming Day with a score of 21-17. Southwest Baptist made the winning touchdown in the final minute of the game causing a great let down for Northwest fans. Despite minor setbacks that arose in planning, the Home- coming festivities were executed without problems on Satur- day. Everything went very smooth, Leilani Greenfield, Home- coming co-chair, said. I ' d say the biggest problem was that representatives didn ' t take the information back to their orga- nizations, but that was easily remedied. Northwest sponsored activities were not the only ones en- joyed by students at Homecoming. The bar scene was another popular outing that received overwhelming crowds over the weekend. Lie Awake, an alternative music group, made a return appear- ance to The World Famous Outback on Friday and Saturday nights. The band brought in a packed house on both nights with their renditions of songs such as Tainted Love by the Cure and Hey Jealousy by The Gin Blossoms. They were awesome, Lucretia Winemiller said. They played new music that was on the cutting edge. Even with the problems that arose during the week, it was a time that would instill memories in all who participated in The Wonderful World of Northwest.

I he music of the steel guitar could be heard throughout the campus, it did not matter v hether students were trom a small toiral tow n or a big city, the country scene was heating up. The traditional cow hoy was taking a turn from the a erage farm boy to an ()ne who liked the countr beat. I used to hate country tnusic. Melissa Burri said. Then my stepdad started listening to it all the titne and the more I was around it the better it got. I thought Garth Brooks had the biggest itnpact on changing my views. Although the influence was not the same for all people, everyone seemed to etijoy the more upbeat country music. Students were even given the chance to see a country star on campus when Su y Bogguss headlinetj the annual fall concert. How the sudden change in attitude came about may never be known. However, for those who had alwass loved country music it brought about hope. I thought all theattenlion was jusia lad. but I hoped it would last, Keith Rash said. It had been good tor country tnusic because it had tnore of a pop beat. It was like a mixture of old and new. For some the attraction was not just in the music, it was the entire country look they were after. Some students could not wait to get into cowboy attire, which for most included boots. Wranglers, a hat and a western-style button down shirt. My boyfriend bought tne a pairof boots so that I would have something to wear to all of the country concerts that we went to over the sutnmer, Danie lle Caruso said. I also bought myself all kinds of clothes with boots, hats or anything cowboy related on it. Once students were all dressed up some headed to concerts, but for others it was Country Night at The World Famous Outback. Pet)ple took on a different look every Thursday night as they filed in the door wearing their favorite boots and Stetson hats. Students could be found domg traditional country dances, such as the Barn Dance. Swinging and the Texas Two Step while others attempted to ride the electric bull. With customers, in cowboy hats and spurs on their boots, putting quarters in the jukebox to play the favorite country tunes, some bars in Maryville, like the Sports Page, took on the old-west atmosphere every night. While the bars were usually packed, the ladies of Hudson Hall planned their own line dances to get in the countrv spirit. Practicing the most popula r country dances before venturing to the bar was one ot the many floor activities that residents participated in. There were also students who turned to the more traditional aspects of being a cowboy. Wooden replicas of steers were found in the residence halls which were used to practice roping. We practiced in the grass outside of our dorm sometimes. Chris Stuva said. At first people looked at us funny but then I guess they just got used to seeing us. Whether it was the traditional or the urban cowboy, it was obvious throughout campus the popularitv country had taken. Even if they did not go all out, there was a noticeable difference in the attitude people were taking tow ard country music and the country way of life.

During the fifth year of Carl IVterson . Chiefs general manager president, five-year championship plan, talk had started around Kansas City and surrounding areas that the Chiefs were one step away from winning it all. To take the Chiefs to the next step. Peterson made several bold moves signing two NFL legends. With the acquisition of quarterback Joe Montana and running back Marcus .Allen, it was hoped the newly re amped Chiefs offense could propel them into play-off contention. HNcryone was going cra y because the Chiefs had signeil Joe Montana, who was one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Seann 0 Rile said. Many Northwest fans thought the Chiefs were near champi- onship material, but were just missing one or tvso key pieces. To man . the offense featuring Montana and .Allen were the needed pieces. Well. I thought most of the uproar was because they ac- quired two legends oi the football realm, those being Joe Montana and Marcus Allen. Luther .Solomon said. People thought they were going to go all the way because those two players were what the team needed to complete itself. Many students considered Montana the greatest quarterback in the NFL and looked for- ward to watching him out on the football field again, after his two year absence. The Northwest Bearcat Marching Band, directed by John Lnt i. became a part of the excitement by play ing during the half-time entertainment of the Chiefs game against the Cincinnatti Bengals. it was a great afternt)on for everyone. Hnt i said, it was just a great time. We played about four songs for the Chiefs alumni, like Len Dawson and Jan Stcnerud. We got to stand right behind the Bengals bench. The Marching Band were not the only ones who went a little crazy over the Chiefs. Other students planted themselves in front of tele ision sets at home or at the bar for Monday Night Football with the Chiefs. Some bars in Maryville, like The Palms, held weekly specials such as quarter draws for Monday Night Football. Despite the overall enthusiasm, there were still many doubts about Montana circulating among fans. Sure, he was one of football ' s greatest quarterbacks of all time and he had been to the Super Bowl three times, but I thought he more or less outlived his reign of power. Solomon said. Allen also upped the expectations for Chiefs fans, as he represented the shift of focus in their run offense from power rushing to speed and agility . He was one of the greatest running backs and 1 would say that it was good that we picked him up, Solomon said. The addition of football legends not only restructured game plans but created Chiefs mania for Northwest fans.

I always The loss of a loved one used to seem to end up makinc] myself lauijh lahen I talked to somebody, because J loould Ik rememberim] the good things. At first I would focus on how bad it was that he was gone, hut would be remembering thini]s that would make me laugh, such as things that would say to me. Coping with the death of a loved one or a friend could be a very traumatic experience. Many stu- dents faced emotional stress when dealing w ith the loss of a loved one or friend. Photo illustration by Tony Miceli. Ncrcoming the do;illi ol a close relali e or Iriond could be the most traumatic situation a human beint: could yo through. Alter a l()- ear battle uith cancer, Jenniter Siirlmg ' s lather died in 1 W2. At the time. Stirling was grie ini; the loss ot her father, trsinj; to keep up with her school work and she had the responsibility ol a Resident Assistant as well. 1 felt really pressured to come back. Stirling said, i was not really ready to come back. Classes had Just started and with my job I lell that it was m responsibility lo be there lor the people on m lloor and for my team members. The death ol someone close could send an indi iilual into arious emotions, such as anger, sadness and disbelief. After I got through that anger stage, then I kind of went to the point where it was sad having him gone. Stirling said. I was realK upset that he was giine. 1... missed him so bad. I always wanted to be there lor my dad... I was so scared that he would be gone when I was not there and I would not be there to say goodbye. Wyman Borts lost a close friend when Kelly Howe, a 1902 graduate, died sudileiily during the summer. Howe ' s death sent Borts into a state of shock. At first, I was in disbelief, Borts said, ...why did it have to happen to her. ' I lost the o|iportiinity to have her for a friend for the rest of my life. Most often, overcoming a death could not be handled by the indiv idual alone. Many students looked to the counselling center to help with the emotional trauma death caused. For the most part, what we did was just basicallv supportive therapy, reassurance that all the crazy feelings that they were experiencing were normal and talked about things, to anticipate in terms of the grief process, Liz Wood, interim president of the counseling center, said. While a person was grieving the death of a family member or friend, it was important to have the support of friends. Stirling said that her friends worried about her and supported her. Especially at first. Stirling said. There was somebody in my room constantly, making sure I was okay or seeing if I needed anything. It was at times when someone was alone the fact that a loved one was gone really hit. It was up to that person to remember the good times they had with the person w ho had passed away to put a smile back on their face. I wrote a few poems and looked through old photos a lot. Stirling said. 1 would find funny things, like through that stage between 1 1 to 1 ? when I was really awkward looking. I would also find pictures of when my dad and I would dress up. I would find stuff like that and catch myself laughing. It was the little things in life that one missed about a loved one or friend, the telephone calls, gifts oreven little notes. But. it was the material objects that they left behind that would help remember the person. Howe used to write jokes in Borts ' notebook, without him knowing. I had a whole lot of things, she gave me. ..and everyday, I used them, like books, Borts said. She used to write things in a notebook of mine she wrote jokes in there. I was finding things that she wrote, Death, of a loved one. was not an easy aspect in life to ov ercome. whether they did it by writing their feelings down on paper, talking to friends or looking through old photos, it was a traumatic experience to overcome.

Buying lunch is an activity most people take for granted, but for Jeff Potter «ho must deal with muscu- lar dystrophy, this task requires a companion. Northwest had several modifications, such as automatic doors, which were added to the campus for disabled students. Photo bv Chris Tucker. Average students walked to and from class w ithout a second thoujiht. However, such was not the case tor all students. Disabled students faced a day in. day out struggle of going to class and dealing with problems that went along with being physically challenged. Probably the biggest problem was getting around easily. Tim Howard said. Getting up and down some of the hills was pretty tough. Howard, who v as injured in an automobile accident three years ago. commuted to class in a wheelchair. Another disabled student said his biggest challenge was accepting his condition. 1 had limited use of my arms, but other than that, it w as pretty easy lor me to get aroiuid, .leff Potter, who sutfered from muscular dystrophy, said. It was kind of confining to be in a w heclchair I could not walk and do all the things that other people did. but I tried to lake it all in stride. A car accident left Todd Herron disabled and in a wheelchair. However, adjusting to college was not as taxing for him since he had attended Northwest before his accident . 1 Icrron said he iie er ga e building accessibility any tht)ught before his accident. Howard agreed with Herron that adjustments were not hard lo iiuike. I really did not ha e that man adjustments to make. Howard said. 1 just had to watch what I did and where 1 did it. Students with disabilities faced some ignorance. One student. Tina Hktermanis. said she was treated differently by students because she was visually impaired. Mt)st of the time I was treated fairly. Hktermanis said. But 1 w as different. I sometimes thought that people did not understand that I was a person, too. Potter, as well as Herron and Howard, said he had not faced any prejudice. People did not treat me any differently from anyone else. Potter said. E eryone was real friendly and nice. They said ' hi in the halls. Normal stuff. Assisting disabled students on campus was the Access and Accommodations Committee. Headed by Lois Heldenbrand. the organization sought to make disabled students life on campus as hassle-free as possible and gave them the same opportunities and resources as other students. The committee advised and surveyed the campus to ensure every building was accessible, made recommendations, upilaied the faculty handbook and coordinated awareness training with faculty. This year, the committee was following through on what they started last year, Heldenbrand said. ■ The committee approved a guide to access on campus. When someone came to campus, they got a map to see what buildings were accessible. ' Annelle Weymuth was the American Disability Act coordinator tor .Northwest. .She said her task was to make sure Northv est complied w ith state and federal standards for the disabled. i sent a letter to freshmen and they were to contact me if they had concerns with accessibility. Weymuth said. Despite problems, there existed hope for anyone with a disability. Howard thought employers had adjusted to the changing times for those who were disabled. I was seeing more disabled students coming to college and I believed the job market was retlective of that. ' How,ard said. With Howard ' s optimistic approach, things certainly looked belter, not bleaker, for disabled students.

In their eyes, lite could not be more grand, but in the eyes of some onlookers, their being together was not accepted. Not understand- ing the looks they received, the couple walked on ()bli ious to their surroundings. What was wrong with this couple holding hands? One hand v as black and the other was white. After being exposed to Maryvjlle s society, students were taught the conservative lifestyle that was offered. Those who went against the norm ofone-race dating found no mallcrthcirrace.thes became iclims of discrimination. Bill Alexander, campus safety officer, met his gnlfiicnd in 1970. Through dating, they learned racial tension, although slowly subsiding from the Brown vs. Board of Educatit)n decision, it was still an ever-present factor in their social life. Alexander said after being at Northwest, he saw more open-minded people and that v as why he had no objections to doing what was taboo 10 years prior. He. a black man. exclusively dated a v hite girl. The campus prett y much accepted it. Alexander said. But in the town, there was not a k)t said. There was just a lot of stares. Both families accepted their dating for the most part, but Alexander ' s father refused to talk to Debbie. Alexander ' s girlfriend. His father was born in 1917 and through his experiences with oppression, became prejudiced against white people. Alexanderwasoneoffewwhowentagainst what society had deemed as normal. But after sc lmi ears of dating, the pressures escalated and their relationship ended. I really loved her. Alexander said. The pressure was just too much. Students were facing the same pressures that Alexander faced 20 years ago. Brent Bruhn dated a black woman for over two years. Bruhn believed he experienced discrimination because of this. People in his hometown shunned him. My hometown forgot about me. Bruhn said. We went to a job service business and the lady told me and my friend to leave. It used to bother me. I just thought we were together whether they liked it or not. It was none of their business. Bruhn said his girlfriend got upset, but then she just tried to prose them wrong. She was a very strong person, Bruhn said. We took it one step at a time. Everyone was different. What was on the inside was all that mattered. Another student invoked in an interracial relationship had not experienced any pressures because she dated a white man. Sue Mohamed. a native of Singapttre. dated Tom Prather for a year. Mohamed said being in Maryville did not present a problem to her. ■ I came from a country where everyone mixed. Mohamed said. When I came to America I did not want to get involved with an American, but Tom was so much like me. Our ideas and ways of thinking blended together so well. Prather planned on returning w ith Mohamed to Singapore once their education was completed. Being in a conser ati e town might ha e made some people uneasy about being invohed in an interracial relationship. Those that had dated other races realized there was no difference. Although Alexander did not marry his girlfriend, he lived by one statement. ■ People are people. Alexander said. You marry someone you love.

The necklace, re- ferred to as Freedom Rings, showed a person was proud to be homosexual. Photo illustration by Tonv Miceli. College, for most students, was considered one ot the most liberating limes, introducing new experiences and different relationships like homosexuality. With Student Senate recognition of the organization GALTAN, Gays And Lesbians Together At Northwest, homo- sexuals became more visual on campus and in the public eye. GALTAN made the statement to the public that homosexuals were on campus, which shocked many people in the town of Maryville. Patrick Mahoney. who had been out of the closet for over a year, said being homosexual was often misinterpreted by hetero- sexuals. The most common misunderstanding for homosexuals was the sexual aspects of their relationships. Most people thought being gay was just one thing, the way you had sex. and it was not. Mahoney said. There were different w ays everybody had sex. Sex was such a small part of a gay person ' s life. Graham Sisco. who had been out of the closet for over twenty years, agreed with Mahoney but believed it went further than just the sex. Most people thought homosexuality was through deviation, Sisco said. People believed there was no love in our relationships and it was purely sexual. Yes, there was sexual attraction, but there was also love. There had been much controversy in past years about from where homosexuality stemmed. Mahoney believed he had been homosexual all his life, though it was not until recently he came to the realization he was gay. When I came ' out of the closet, ' I tried to trace back to w hen I knew , Mahoney said. There was always something in the back of my head that there was something different. But, I did not know what it was. However, commg out for Mahoney meant a change in his friends. My whole group of friends drastically changed, Mahoney said. When I met people. I right off the bat assumed that people were not going to accept me. It was kind of like ha ing a chip on my shoulder. When I came out to people, it seemed 1 got closer to those people and the people who I was not out to, I started to put distance between them and me. For Sisco. being gay meant he developed stronger friendships. There was some shunning down in the public eye, Sisco said. But, the friendships I had were very strong because they were more open and truthful. There was no lying and falsity. Even though Mahoney had a drastic change in friends, Muhoney ' s family accepted his homosexu- ality. In fact, when he finally decided to tell them, they claimed they already knew. My parents had just finally seen their son was not different from anyone else ' s son except for the fact that I was gay, Mahoney said. Also, Mahoney ' s younger sister, who was heterosexual, joined GALTAN to support him. Being gay on campus did not pose many problems for Mahoney and Sisco. Though, they had a few run-ins with gay bashing, for the most part the students accepted them just like everyone else. Howe er, Mahoney thought differently about being gay. I heard it all the time on the news, I even heard it from gay people themselves, ' Gay people were just like everybody else ' — they were not, Mahoney said. If we were just like everyone else, we would not be say.

' Tliey slept with every- body and the ijuys did not care. Some girls cjot to the point what they just wanted to lose it and then after that as the saying goes once you start, you can not stop. Many students got involved in rela- tionsliips upon entering college. They also faced the decision whether to become sexually active. Photo illustration bv Jon Britton. AS children were sent to college, parents hoped their money would be spent wdrthwhile; their kids would transform into mature, young adults and receive a higher education. But that journey toward adulthood seemed anything but easy, as students faced many social issues including sexual relationships. There were many stereotypes that ran rampant at college; men who were only after one thing and young freshmen girls who were naive enough to give it to them. But several students said it was far more than just a stereotype, some people just did not realize how different socializing was in college. Many problems seemed to center around naive young girls and the guys that took advantage of them. Younger girls fell in love, they thought they fell in love, a lot quicker, that made it a lot easier to tell them what guys wanted and they believed it. Reggie Rodman said. Guys could just tell, younger girls were not the same maturity, they got upset a lot easier. They believed anything and they thought the guys were in love with them. Although many students had moral views and opinions about girls who slept around. a bad reputation was not the only concern involved in sexual relationships. Getting hurt emotionally or physically could happen to anyone. Kiki Kunkel was engaged when her two-year relationship came (o an end. After the break-up, she found herself involved in other sexual relationships and ended up pregnant. Before, I never thought that getting pregnant could happen to me, Kunkel said. I knew it could happen, but it was not something I took into consideration. No matter the age or situation, everyone had individual o pinions about sexual relationships. Some people believed in a monogamous relationship and others thought it was a matter left for after marriage. Counselor Ron Webster, said many of these values came from home and students struggled with their own views and independence. We did have people, men and women, that had traditional ideals of how things should be, then they came to college where things were more open minded and they were experimenting and trying new things, Webster said. People we saw were trying to balance that out. While the stereotype of young, naive girls continued, Webster said for men and women, it was not only a matter of age, but also personality. It depended on both the individual and age, he said. They had difficulty as they got older and that was not what they wanted, they wondered ' How do I get back on track. Overcoming mistakes from the past was sometimes difficult for students. However, Kunkel had learned from her own experiences and made a change in her lifestyle, she hoped others would do the same. After every thing that I had been through, before I went out and had sex with another person, I would think twice, Kunkel said. This had not been a negative experience but it was not something I would wish upon anyone. Despite bad reputations and the threat of pregnancy, sexual relationships were a reality issue. Whether it was a serious commitment or a orie-night stand, everyone had to deal with whether or not they would be involved with someone sexually. The situation was different for everyone and so were the consequences.

The friends thai were made in elementary school may often stay the same ihrouuh high school, but college was ihe taclor that took the real toll on those relationships. The transition that took place between high school and college sometimes left old Iriends w ithont the common ground that made them friends in the first place. All of mv friends had gone in different directions and I did not get to see all of them when 1 went home. Misty Jeffery said. ' We did not ha e anything in common anymore because we were living in difterent areas and did not ha e the same interests anymore. Jeffery found one of the major differences between her hometown and Maryville was people there had more of a tendency to only be concerned about the latest gossip. One of the qualities she preferred in her Mary ille Iricnds was they respected her right to privacy. There it v as all the gossip about who was seeing who and behind whose back. Jeffery said. Here it was what classes did you have and there was not as much gossip unless you were with the same exclusive group of people all the time. My friends here respected others ' privacy more. Often people would start looking for different characteristics in their companions. Kostas Kapetis found that qualities he looked for in friends in the Llnited .States were similar to what he had in his hometown, Thessaloniki, Greece. 1 was looking for a good friend. Kapetis said. I had one back home, someone who could listen to me and listen to my problems, a real friend. However, finding a true friend often changed with different cultures. Kapetis found that people in the United States often moved at a faster pace and did not take the time that was needed to get to know people like his friends in Greece did. I thought it was harder to make good friends here in the states because people were more materialistic, not all of them were, hut a lot of them just wanted to use you and your stuff. Kapetis said. There was a big ditference, we went out more there and had more time to talk. Here people just did not care, because of how fast the American society was. Kapetis also found the difference between the si e of the cities had an impact on peoples behavior. He found it was easier to make new friends because people were friendlier here. Living w ith a close friend could either strengthen the relationship or. sometimes, it would lead to the end of the friendship. Jessica Prather learned that living with a friend could sometimes be a bad idea. Prathcr decided to room with a friend she had worked with in her hi)mctown. but after living together for one semester the two ended up going their separate ways. It was not really that we got in a fight, it was just the little things. Prathersaid. She used to get irritated if the bottom drawer was open. Prather attributed the fact that they were no longer roommates to the simple fact that once you started li ing with a person you were more apt to notice their little quirks. ■When you started living with a friend, or anybody really, you find things that they do that get on your nerves, Prather said. Friendships were an important factor in everyone ' s life and during the college years was when most discovered what the important characteristics in a friend really were.

We were ahle to trust each other that we So CLOSE, YET SO FAR AWAY would not do something that would ajject our relationship, Melody Ludwig said.

Writing letters proved to be an effective way for couples in- volved in long-distance relation- ships to catch up on how things were going. Photo by Chris Tucker. The old adage saying absence makes the heart grow fonder stood steadfastly in most cases of long-distance relationships. Many students and even some professors, continued long-distance relationships despite having to be apart from their loved ones, for days, weeks and even months. They found time to juggle their love life with studies and visitation. Dr. Ladonna Geddes. speech professor, lived apart from her husband since 1983. She visited her husband, who worked as a certified Public Accountant for the state of Kentucky, about every three weeks. Since she did not teach in the summer, she spent it with her husband. We saw each other more because we were making a concentrated effort to be together. Geddes said. His schedule was not as flexible as mine, so I did most of the traveling. When she was not with her husband, she passed time by taking courses. According to Geddes, one advantage of the relationship was she built an independent life. In some ways it made the relationship better because I could focus on concrete quality time with my husband without interference from others. Geddes said. The bad side was that my husband was not always there to share my good and bad news. Several students maintained long-distance relationships despite not being able to be with their loved ones. Partners found ways of keeping the relationship together and remaining close through communication and quality time during visits. Sarah Yarkasky kept her relationship in tact by talking on the phone, writing letters and visiting her boyfriend every other weekend. Trust was a factor in every relationship that had to survive the test of time and distance, however these relationships also had their disadvantages. Yarkasky and her boyfriend, who lived in Independence, Mo., had been apart for three months. Education was important to me and I figured if he was really serious, he would wait, Yarkasky said. The disadvantage of long-distance relationships was that my phone bills went up. But keeping in touch made the time we spent together more special. Matthew Behounek had a girlfriend in Milo. Iowa, and they took turns visiting each other every weekend. Understanding each other ' s schedule helped their relationship. He said she was still in high school but would be joining Northwest ne. t year. Behounek sometimes found it a chore traveling, but it was all in the name of love. Behounek said. Mek)dy Ludwig who dated Mick McGlaughlin, from Humboldt. Neb., found herself in a long- distance relationship, They worked it out so they saw each other almost everyday. I would go home, or he would come down here to see me, Ludwig said. So I did not consider us in a long-distance relationship. Ludwig went home to see her boyfriend after school because she wanted to and not because she had to. She believed they could be separated for long periods of time but she would rather not. We could go without seeing each other for two to three weeks if we had to, Ludwig said. However, since Ludwig saw her boyfriend almost everday. her studies still came first. If I went home during the week, I still put my homework and studies first, Ludwig said. Going home to see my boyfriend was just like 1 was commuting. Love, trust and understanding were key factors for an effective long-distance relationship.

Deena Edwards expected to sleep for a few hours, until someone walked in the door. Figuring it was a roommate, Edwards was not surprised when she heard someone moving around. Then someone climbed into bed with her and she felt pressure on her chest. ■ I pulled the covers over my head and felt the pressure again, Edwards said. Then I heard someone laugh. I felt like someone was right in my face. The Roberta ghost had been a legend for over 40 years. Roberta Hall, once known as Residence Hall, was hit by an explosion on April 29, 1951, at 12:10 a.m., when a St. Joseph Power and Light gas tank exploded. After the explosion, 21 women were treated for injuries, including Roberta Steel. After returning to Northwest in the fall of 1 952, Steel officially withdrew from the University on Nov. 19, and returned home where she died. Roberta Hall was not the only haunted house known to Northwest, some fraternities also claimed legends. The Tau Kappa Epsi- lon house had been haunted for almost 30 years by a ghost they believed to be Slade Jackson, a TKE member. Before Jackson died, members would meet at the 102 River. In April 1 964. Jackson and some fraternity brothers went to the river after it had rained. No one checked to see if the riverbed had shifted and Jackson was the first to dive in. After this fateful dive, Jackson ' s head was caught in the mud. He suffered from a broken neck and was taken to the TKE house and died later that evening. There were times when members would be downstairs and hear a stereo, that no one had turned on, playing in Jackson ' s old room on the third floor. An upper torso of a man. who appeared to be laughing, was spotted in front of the fireplace and lights would turn on and off. There was a lamp in our room that was sometimes off when my roommates and I left for the bars and sometimes it would be on when we would get home, James Sloan said. It was really weird. We burned the lamp. Old Man Prather, or OMP as the Sigma Tau Gammas called him, haunted the Tau house o er 1 00 years after his death. After building the house, OMP. was said to have hanged himself in a third floor bedroom, later known as Suicide Comer. Strange smells were noticed for no apparent reason in this room. Some fraternities ghosts were not members of their organi- zation. For example, the Delta Chi ' s ghost lived in the house before the fraternity moved in. Lilian Townsend was a young girl at the time of her death. After Townsend died, her parents wanted the funeral in the house and she was buried in the basement. At the Delta Chi house the power would be shut off and the lights would still be on. The men attributed strange occurrences like this to Townsend. Although students were scared when they heard about ghosts, most who encountered these ghosts agreed they were friendly. Some stories had eerie twists, whereas others seemed to just be sightings, but regardless the legends continued. The Delta Chi house held eerie tales with the legend of Lilian Townsend. Ghost stories were popular for scaring students who were not familiar with the infamous tales.

Photo by Tony Miccli. desire for a cleaner en ironmeni spurred a new recycling plan m .Mary ille. Residents began sorting paper, cans, plastics and glass to conserve on resources and cut back on pollution. I thought recycling was a very good idea. Heidi Lutrick said. Everybody needed to do their part in sa ing the en iron- meat tor our future generations. Residence and academic halls placed cardboard recycling bins in the hallvvays in addition to the traditional trash cans. The ad antages of the recycling bins were to get people used to the idea of recycling. Jessica Prather said, it made people think twice before throwing things away. Although the recycling bins were available, there were some people w ho still did not take the time to sort before tossing their trash. This was particularly a problem if sorting recycables was an inconvenience. It was hard to get everyone to recycle. Michelle Gibbs, resident assistant, said. We weren ' t allowed to has e paper bins in the trash rooms or by the elevators with the other recycling bins, because it was a fire hazard. It kind of defeated the purpose. Another setback with the recycling program was that Envi- rontnental Services was hav- ing to pay their employees overtime to sort through what people were throwing away. We were spending too much time having to sort what people were recycling, Gene Spear, director of Environmental Services, said. Because people weren ' t putting it in the right bins. Because the budget would not allow for extra employees to be hired, the custodians were having to spend more time on recycling and less time on their other tasks. Although recycling was becoming inore of a hindrance than a help, the University was still putting forth the effort to conserve the environment. Northwest was not only using recycling to try and conserve resources, they also burned wood chips to prov ide 60 percent of the energy needs. This left 40 percent to be compensated by burning fossil fuels, oil and gas. according to Associate Direc- tor of Environmental Services Richard Auffert. The recycling program, according to City Manager Bill Galletly. included more than recycling paper. It also included tin. glass, plastic and aluminum. Our goal was to have 40 percent of the city ' s waste stream diverted. Galletly said. We were going to exceed that. An advantage for Maryville ' s residents was that trash pick- up days were not drastically affected. Customers who were used to having their trash picked up twice a week, had non- recycable materials picked up the first three days of the week and recycables on the last three. There were no changes in our pick-up schedule for our customers, Alice Emery said. The least you could (change) your schedule, the more it would work. With residents and on-campus students sorting their trash and the University using waste paper instead of other fuels, Northwest Missouri was doing its pail to conserve the environ- ment.

Glamour, The Kansas Cily Star and Cosmopoliian were just a few of the places to look and find how the day, week, month or year would turn out. Jennifer Dickson longed to read her horoscope from her hometown newspaper, the Chkaiio Tri- bune. Dickson learned to read by reading her mother ' s horoscope each morning. My mom had me read her horoscope to her while she was taking me to school, Dickson said. I read it whenever I saw it, but I used to read it all the time when I was back home. Sometimes when I read them, they came true in some way, Dickson said. I preferred reading them at night so I could think back on the day to see if what it said would happen actually happened. However, there were students who believed that horoscopes were completely false. I didn ' t believe in them, Travis Gotsch said. Nothing true ever came of them, other H M people wanted to read |m | and believe them that was H _ Iheirbusiness, not mine. Dr. Jim Smelt .er, astronomy professor, claimed stars had no influence over him, but he thought there was no problem with students believing or having .stars rule their day. if you had a strong belief, then it could be relevant in .someone ' s day to day life, Smeltzer said, in my case, I did not hold much with the stars as having them control my days. Smeltzer even read his horoscope on occasion. I had read my horoscope from time to time in the newspaper, Smeltzer said. Usually though, 1 pre- ferred to read the sports page. Smeltzer also spoke of mythical sides to the stars. The mythology associated with stars and star groupings was rich in the way we studied the stars, Smeltzer said. The names of some of the bright stars and groupings had origins in the mythological foun- dations, some of it was Greek, some was Roman. A lot of the names were Arabic, because that was where the knowledge of the world was maintained. Astrology had been a part of history for centuries and with people still believing in the powers that they held, they would be around for centuries to come.

With the excitement of receiving a paschcck. students rushed to the bank or Administration Building to cash their checks. Then, they were off to spend their hard-earned money on bills and groceries and possibly had enough left over to splurge on some fun. I alw ays had money left over after I paid the bills, but the rest went for my necessities. .Shana Williams said, it was really a shock when I thought I was going to get more monev than I actually did. Students w orked for sc cral reasons, l-or some, it w as to help pay off their tuition and living expenses and for others it was just a little extra cash in the pocket. I worked mainly for spending money. Shirley McNece said. I keptoverhalf of what I made and used it to bu clothes and to eat out. Yet, sometimes paychecks did not look as if it were quite big enough and by the end of the next month students were stretching their dollars as far as they would go. With tuition, rent and pow er bills to pay. there were times when there was nothing left for entertainment. All of my money went back to the school. Rosemary Meyer said. I did not get a big enough check to spend it on anything else. I guess that was what college was all about. While some students were able to spend their money tight away, there were others who had to send their paycheck off to parents to be deposited at the bank back home. Sometimes, students hoped their checks made it home in time to cover checks they had already written. Depending on their money management from pay period to pay period, students would w atch their checks closely to make certain they were getting what they deserved. When I first got my job they said I would make a little over $700, Stephanie Derby said. Then later they said it would only be ,S400. My mom talked to them about it. but I did not know what happened because my money went straight to pay mv hills. No matter w here their money ended up. students spent their dollars conservatively, making them cover as many bills as possible. They worked hard for their money and were able to call it their own. Responsibilities that went along with college and earning a living were not always a student ' s favorite part of college life, but they were proud at the end of the month when their work paid off.

She sang, danced, played the guitar and even yodeled for the sold-out crowd. The country music group Southern Wind warmed up the crowd with their top five hit ■ ' Mendin ' Fences. After other songs from their albums, Bogguss took the stage with a rousing rendition of her single, Somewhere Between. Bogguss first album Somewhere Between won her the Academy of Country Music ' s Best New Country Female Vocalist award in 1988. She followed with a top five hit and a Grammy nominated duet with Lee Greenwood entitled Hopelessly Yours. With the release of her third album Aces, Bogguss became well-known and three top five hits capped her win of the Ct)unlry Music Association Hori on Award. Nearly 800 tickets were sold the first day, making it one of the fastest .selling concerts ever at Northwest. Bogguss was pleased as it provided a postive sign for the rest of her headlining season. She was excited to be performing for the Northwest crowd after finishing a lour with Dwight Yokum the night before. The tour was great. Bogguss said. We finished the tour with Yokum and so this was the first show where we weren ' t limited to a certain set. We got to expand and do different things, so I was excited. We tried out new material. The new material included the song Cinderella. which took a cynical approach to the fairy tale. Two highlights of the show were Joe ' s Cafe, when she tied on an apron and played the part of a waitress looking for love and Voices in the Wind, which provided an unique upbeat tempo with Bogguss shaking maracas and the band clanging cans. It was nice to finally see her in person because I had been a big fan of her ' s for a long time, Jackie Mann said. She put on a really terrific show. It was great. Although Garth Brooks. Billy Ray Cyrus and Alan Jackson dominated the charts, Bogguss believed that women were getting stronger in the music scene. I thought women were starting to carve their own niche, Bogguss said. I mean if you opened up the charts, you would see more men ' s names but I thought that women were getting a more unique style. There were fewer of us out there and the production values were giving us a different sound whereas men weren ' t as concerned with creating a sountl than having one. After Bogguss entertained the crowd with a grand finale of Outbound Plane. she received a standing ovation. Then she asked if her fans would help sing Happy Birthday to her mom. B.J.. who was sitting in the audience. As an encore, she sang a stirring rendition of Aces which had the crowd up again.

By Mike Johnson Entertainment 63 THEATER Students make their main-stage debut SHOWCASE in annual Freshman-Transfer Showcase New talent, three monologues and a glimpse ofsix classic plays were Just a few benefits of the Freshman-Transfer Showcase. Students teased the audience with 1 2-minute clips from such classics as William Shakespeare ' s A Midsummer Night ' s Dream and Tennessee Williams ' Glass Menagerie. Every fall, transfer students and freshmen were given the opportunity to display their talent in a debut performance at Northwest. Thirty-five students participated in the production from every aspect including, acting, costume, makeup and scenic lighting. Director Dr. Thophil Ross said the unique thing about this production was that every theater major was guaranteed a role in the production. This was one of the strongest features of our program, Ross said. This let them see how we did things, what a real University audition was like. Ross said there were two main purposes to putting on the annual production. To present a main-stage series of plays for the audience perspective and for the student ' s perspective, a recruiting or training device with the guarantee that all theater majors would be involved, Ross said. After the first month they were a legitimate, full-fledged part of the department and could hold their own with the upperclassmen. Scenes for the performance were chosen from the department ' s 1 4-play reading list that all theater majors were required to read before graduation. The selections displayed a variety of drama and comedy with She Stoops to Conquer and A Midsummer Night ' s Dream from the 16th century. The audience was also given a glimpse of life in the ' . Os with a scene from Death of a Salesman and puppy love in the ' 50s came to form in Our Town. Colleen Covington who portrayed Meg in a scenario from Crimes of the Heart said the Freshman-Transfer Showcase helped her prepare for future productions. This was not like a regular college show, Covington said. We had a different treatment. They were showing us how things were done here. Without it we would have been more intimidated for regular auditions. Students brought in selections they had worked on over the summer for the audition process and three of these one-minute monologues were chosen for the production, offering a different twist to the show. P.D. Fisk. portrayed by Michael Masters, gave a speech from the Humane Society about the cruelties to fish in Greater Tuna. Daniel Breeze gave the audience quite a scare w ith his anxiety attack about asking a woman to move aside so that he could reach the tuna can in the grocery store aisle in Laughing Wild. Brandi Krimmel played a jealous wife yelling at a mannequin in her bed, the result of a trick played by her husband, in Love Is a Time of Day. A more serious clip included Anne LeBeaume dancing to the voice of Paul Coate in The Music and the Mirror from A Chorus Line. With their Northwest theater debut behind them, freshmen and transfer students were ready to move into another spotlight in another production. .

Entertainment 65 MIDWEST A true story comes to life, MURDERS bringing entertainment and iiistory A shot rang out, startling the audience. They were sitting on the stage and every movement the actors made seemed realistic. The audience kept a close eye on the actors as they watched back and forth between Charlie Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, his girlfriend. They were on the run for killing the Fugate family and eventually, many others. People all around the area feared for their lives because no one really knew where they were going to show up next. Starkweather, a play by Doug Harr based on actual events that took place in Lincoln, Neb., in 1958, possessed a sense of closeness, particularly to those from the area. I thought I could relate to the play a little easier, Lea Ann Vetter said. I had not heard much about it before I saw the play, but was glad I went. Early in the year, NBC aired a movie called Murder in the Heartland, a depiction of the Starkweather murders. The show was criticized for its graphic depiction of violence about the mass murders and was a major focus of Senate hearing against violence on television. Although not as violent as the movie, the stage production still struck a nerve in the audience. The overall production was excellent and informative, Jim Ulvestad said. I was not familiar with the plot beforehand but never felt lost. It should have been a three-day production because there were so many people who wanted to attend. The audience was moved on stage allowing seating for only 70 people. For students who were required to see the production for a class, it was imperative they either reserve tickets in advance or arrive an extra hour early. With limited space, students who were able to see the play watched the cast intently. As the audience watched, the cast and crew were wrapped up in their own emotion. After spending hours at practices, they were excited to finally get a chance to perform. The intense emotion posed a challenge to the actors in the student production. It was a very stressful and exhausting performance, Carol Patton said. My character, Caril Ann Fugate, was complex. It was difficult for me to determine whether or not she was guilty. The intense emotion was draining. The play ended with the court trial of Starkweather and Fugate. Starkweather testified against Fugate, saying she helped with the killings. One student said the scene in the courtroom was particulariy powerful. I enjoyed the scenes in the courtroom during Charlie s trial, Christine Tedrow said. I felt they really knew their part and the way the reporters interacted was smooth. In the end. Starkweather was sentenced to death and Fugate was found innocent. The play ended with the ghost of Starkweather firing a shot into the crowd. After the production on Friday, Harr and the students involved in the play held a post-show discussion to help the audience better understand the performance. Whether they were sitting in the audience or pert ' orming on stage. Starkweather was an experience for everyone. Students were given the chance to learn a little bit of history through the dramatic production. 1, 5 , 66 Starkweather A reporter, Chris McDonald, interviews Sheriff Deputy Romer.

Entertainment 67 L E S Big Band sound entertains BROWN audiences both young and old Bright lights gleamed from the stage as music from the Big Band era rang out of the brass bells and instruments that belonged to Les Brown and the Band of Renown. The notes that poured forth were tilled with a sound that brought back memories of the ■40s for some members of the community and brought smiles to the younger faces in the audience. Brown opened the show with the lead player of each section playing a short solo. Each of the solo performances received an overwhelming round of applause and cheers of excitement from the audience. However, during Brown ' s introduction, he and the entire Band of Renown, forgot the name of the school. After talking in circles for a moment. Stumpy Brown, bass trombone player, produced the check that the band received from Northwest to remind them where they were at. After a moment of embarrassment. Brown tried to excuse his memory lapse by putting the blame on his age. When you get to be my age, Brown said. That ' s not all you forget. Although the name of the University was forgotten, the music was not. The Big Band pertormance the musicians produced received a standing ovation. Brown and his band were a part of the efforts to keep the Big Band sound around for younger generations who did not experience the music when it was popular. Les Brown was the only band from the old days that was still around, Henry ' Butch ' Stone, vocals, said. It was a wonderful audience, we wished we could have stayed here and done more than just one night. We would have really been hot then, tonight we were just warm. Even though the audience consisted mainly of Mary ville residents, there was a fair number of students that attended the concert. The thing about this was that if young people heard it, if they gave themselves a chance to hear it, they usually would dig it, Darrel Gardner, lead trumpet, said. I mean they really liked it. If for no other reason it was different from what they had been hearing and they liked anything different. So, even though this had been around forever, it was different to them because they had never heard it. The selections that were performed included hits from the ' 40s to the present, they even played a few pieces from their latest album. Their performance included Sentimental Journey, Route 66, In the Mood, I ' ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm and Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree. During the intermission Bohm Townsend was presented a plaque for his area promotions of Big Bands. Mike Johnson, operations manager from KXCV, conducted the short ceremony by having several friends of Townsend ' s on stage to say a few words about the promotions Townsend had made throughout the years. Through efforts of those like Brown and Townsend Big Band had continued in its popularity with each new generation. With new people discovering the jazzy brass sounds that Brown and his band performed it seemed Big Band would never see its extinction.

Entertainment 69 DON Comedian proves that a book REESE can ' t be Judged by its cover With his self-deprecating sense of humor, black shirt, pants, trenchcoat and chain- decorated hiker boots, comedian Don Reese entertained Northwest. Reese, who was 6 ' 4 and bald with a moustache, centered most of his routine on his appearance, which he said intimidated people. People made fun of my looks, but I II tell you what, it got me out of jury duty, he said. Frequently throughout the evening, Reese growled and made facial gestures to promote his self-imposed identity as a pirate. People asked me why I was a comedian, Reese said. Well, look at me. What the hell else could I do? It was either this or what? Reese discussed a number of topics, including marriage, music, sex, drinking, the Amish and traveling around the country. He enjoyed New York because, no one stared at me there. On the other hand, when he was in Arkansas, he couldn ' t leave his room during the day. Reese complained about plane travel and having to stay in a different hotel room every place he performed. One hotel room he stayed in had wet towels, but the wet towels did not seem to make him as unhappy as one area of the airport that he could not avoid. I hated those metal detectors, he said. I got a plate in my head. I put it in myself. During his travels to the South, he found the roaches were huge. We did not have roaches in the Midwest, he said. In Alabama, it was ' Hey, look, was that a roach or a Chevy? ' Another time, Reese had the misfortune of listening to a country music station one night driving in his car. Those were real adrenaline pumpers, weren ' t they? Reese said. After four hours of that, I ended up in a ditch. The cop asked what happened. I said, ' Randy Travis. ' The audience was given Long John Silver ' s hats before his performance started and many in the audience donned them. Audience members were instructed to wear them before Reese walked out on stage. Reese liked going into Long John Silver ' s and telling the staff he was the new district manager in order to get free food. Reese did not like to exercise. When I was kid, when I wanted to lose weight, I went out to run, Reese sai d. Then they changed it, so I didn ' t have to run, I could jog. Now, you didn ' t even jog, what did I do? Walk. I was waiting for the stand around and scratch your ass thing. Those attending the show were enthusiastic about Reese ' s performance. I loved it, Doug Wilson said. That was the first comedian I had seen in person. It was better in person than it was on TV. His humor did not fit his looks and that was the main thing I liked. After the concert, Reese drank a pop and talked with a group of students back stage about the trials and tribulations of being a comedian. By Don Munsch Reese growls and makes facial gestures to promote his self- imposed identity as a pirate. The audience participated in Reese ' s skit by donning Long John Silver ' s hats.

A second performance was added to the show after 500 tickets were sold on the first day of sales. Photo by Jon Britton. HOWIE Music and comic performance MANDEL entertain sell-out crowd Music and laughterfilled Northwest as students and residents were entertained by singer and songwriter Jenny O and comic Howie Mandel. Because over 500 tici ets were sold vn the first day of sales and the show sold out within two weeks, a second performance was added to the October 17, Encore performance, which was sponsored by Campus Activity Programmers and the Norrhwesi Missourian. The opening act, Jenny O, got the audience clapping as she performed folk and rock tunes from her first album Here and Now. She performed many .songs including. Boxcar Blues, Stars So Bright and Sounds of the Train. I really liked her, Jen Black said. I did not pay too much attention to the lyrics, but I liked her style and voice. Jenny 0 s powerful voice and guitar rang throughout Mary Linn Pertorming Arts Center as she sang such lyrics as, ...there ' s a fuzzy w uzzy bug Hying inside of me, from the song, Got a Bug in My Brain. a song she described as an atypical love song. What it was about, was I felt something going wrong with me. but I did not know what it was, Jenny O said. So I went to the doctor and he could not te ll me. the psychiatrist could not tell me and then I saw my friend, the fortune teller where I saw a inan in a crystal ball and I realized, ah that was it. So it was the love bug. Throughout her performance in the first show, Jenny O plugged her t1rst full-length album. which had not been released. Jenny O wrote all of the songs on her album, with the help of her fiance on four of them. Along with songs of her own, Jenny O included Van Morrison ' s Brown-Eyed Girl, to get the audience involved. This Toronto. Canada, native, who had only been performing for two years, got the opportunity of a lifetime when she was asked to tour with Mandel. It was great, Jenny O said. Everybody was really nice, they treated me well and it was fun. This was the biggest break that I had ever had. The exposure was really wondertul. After Jenny O retreated and the lights dimmed many shouts of Howie came from the audience. After a brief intermission, Mandel appeared on the stage and the audience responded with a standing ovation. From a doctor on the critically acclaimed television show, St. Elsewhere, to the voice of Bobby on the cartoon Bobby ' s World, Mandel explored many venues during his career. St. Elsewhere brought Mandel to stardom after years of w orking on the comedy circuit. The controversial drama lasted seven seasons on NBC and made the comic a star. Mandel began his performance by giving the audience some background information on himself, such as; becoming a father and a homeowner. Mandel ' s personal information took the audience into the next joke about his pet fish, which he claimed had recently died from a bladder infection. His wife wanted a horse, but he could not imagine himself with a horse. — continued Entertainment 73 Howie Mandel jokes about dorm police and tlie 50 cent fine for saying dorm. In addition to current events on campus, Mandel talked about his family and fans. Photo by Jon Britton. Jenny O performs songs from her album Here and Now.

Becca Lindenbusch attended the show because she had seen him before and liked him, even though she found some of his material repeated from his HBO performance. I liked his performance even if some of his stuff was repeated because I had seen him before, Lindenbusch said. Mandel spent most of his performance interacting with the audience on such subjects as San Diego and Dallas. Some thought a few of the members were rude with their sarcastic remarks and inappropriate comments. I did not like the people that were obnoxious in the audience, Lindenbusch said. I did not agree with being obnoxious and rude in any audience. Rebecca Pendleton liked his interaction with the audience because it got everyone into the act. It made you feel more a part of the show, Pendleton said. It was more personalized. Mandel relied on rathercrude comic material to garner laughs. The material included graphic descriptions of a colon check and sex with his pregnant wife. Students did not seem to mind. Every once in a while, he would slip, Pendleton said. I could tell he was trying to keep it somewhat clean. The appearance of the Powdertoast Man brought in some good clean humor. Pendleton, who went to the second show, liked the Powdertoast Man skit because her and her friends recognized the man within the costume. It was pretty funny, Pendleton said. We recognized who it was because he lived on our floor. He was our hall director. Even though Mandel ' s stay in Maryville was brief, he was up-to-date with current events on campus. When an audience member mentioned the word house, Mandel took the opportu- nity to joke about the new dorm police. To complete the joke, Mandel lead the audience in a chant of the word dorm. Just when the audience thought Mandel ' s routine was over, he came back on stage and brought his Bobby voice with him. Bobby ' s World was his brain child based on thecharacterof ayoung boy with a skewed look of the world. Mandel created and performed Bobby in his early comic routines. The cartoon won a Daytime Emmy for Best Animated Series for dealing with such topics as child abuse and death. My name is Bobby, Mandel said. And I am going to tell you a story about when my mom put me to bed. As the curtains closed and he bowed to the audience, he was greeted with a standing ovation in appreciation of an entertaining performance. By Fay Dahlquist Entertainment 75 MARVIN A multi-award winner impresses witli HAMLISCH his improvisation and music With his easygoing sense of humor, composer and musician Marvin Hamlisch told jokes and performed his critically acclaimed music. Opening for Hamlisch, the Northwest Jazz Ensemble performed several selections before the concert. Although the group had performed many times, this was the first time they had opened for such a big name. Hamlisch incorporated humor into his musical show, joking about the location of North- west. We just checked into our hotel room here in Maryville after a five-hour drive, Hamlisch said, moments after taking the stage. And I have to tell you, 1 had never seen so many cows before in my life. It seemed as if Bovine 101 was big here. Hamlisch, who had won a Pulitzer Prize, a Tony Award, four Grammys and two Golden Globes, had written 30 motion picture scores, including The Sting and The Way We Were. He composed the music for A Chorus Line and They ' re Playing Our Song. He played these songs, as well as a melody called Going to Peculiar. Hamlisch also performed for the London symphony and played at New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic and Casesar ' s Palace in Las Vegas. He got his start in music by performing for his synagogue when he was 19. The cantor was ill and unable to perform, and Hamlisch was asked to play. As a way of demonstrating the technique of writing and performing songs, Hamlisch solicited song ideas from the audience in a technique called Rent-a-Composer. Hamlisch talked about a town called Peculiar he saw on the trip to Maryville and a man from the audience asked him to compose an impromptu rendition. Hamli.sch came up with Going To Peculiar from scratch. The song described the humorous experience of going through this small town. Hamlisch s big break came when movie producer Sam Spiegel asked him to compose the music for The Swimmer, starring Burt Lancaster. Hamlisch performed an unnamed selection from that movie for the audience. In addition to playing music scores, Hamlisch played Happy Birthday to the distinct styles of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. He then discussed how trivial criticism could be for composers by reading reviews from original newspaper articles concerning the work of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Gershwin. Hamlisch said that negative press never bothered him. Hamlisch did not rank places he had performed at but said col lege campuses were his favorite places. This showed through his performance and students were impressed. It was good, Dawn Hascall said. When I went to the concert, I had no idea he wrote all those songs. But I wished he had done more of those where people threw out ideas from the audience. Still wanting more, the audience left entertained, proving that Hamlisch truly deserved his reputation as a master musician.

The comedian entertained the audience with inventions from his six full-size trunks. Carrot Top had appeared on shows like Star Search, Comic Strip Live, America ' s Funniest People and the Arsenio Hall Show. He was named Comedian of the Year and Entertainer of the Year by the National Association of Campus Activities. He also had a sitcom in the works. It was still in the planning stages, Carrot Top said. We were developing the idea and hoped it went really well. It was for NBC and was ready for mid-season. One of the bits he did for the audience was on trick-or-treating in Iowa. Iowa was just there you know, Carrot Top said. If a kid went trick-or-treating there, he told his mom and dad, Bye. See you in two weeks. ' They would be walking along the road and a car would pass and they would yell, ' Trick-or-treat! ' Along with the laughter, he was greeted with the heckles of several rude audience members. He called them the sniper section because they sat in the balcony. Although they started out loud, they remained hushed during most of the performance, but a 17-year-old refused to be quiet and irritated the audience and the comedian. It was great for the first five minutes but then there was no point to it, Carrot Top said. People never wanted that. The audience paid eight bucks to hear him yell. It would have been different if he was actually saying something but I could not understand him. Some comics liked to banter back and forth. I liked to put on a show. I was mad. Even with the heckler, the audience seemed to enjoy his jokes and props. I thought the heckler was a jerk, Lisa Crouse said. We did not pay to come listen to him. I still thought Carrot Top was great. I felt sorry for him because I could tell it bothered him but he was great. This was the second time the comedian had performed at Northwest. His last performance was sold out. One member was so impressed with that performance, she invited her mom and dad to this one. He was always cool and really funny, Bobbi Woodward said. He was great. I liked him enough to have my parents come and see him. They were impressed. Carrot Top had high hopes for the next time he came to the Northwest stage. I wanted to come back next year so I could do a better show, Carrot Top said. This was not a very good show and I wanted to end up on a high note rather than one like this. He ended with a recording of cuts from popular songs, doing imitations of singers like Madonna and Mick Jagger. The musical interiude lasted five minutes and ended the show with a bang. Although disappointed with his own performance. Carrot Top did not disappoint his audience, who seemed to appreciate his uncanny observations of everyday life and wacky inventions. By Mike Johnson Carrot Top demonstrates his resemblance to Wendy. His act included many props and inventions that had the audience rolling in the aisles.

Entertainment 79 GHOST Stephen King ' s chilling tales cause STORIES things to go bump in the night Thunder crackled over the speakers as the lights flashed on and off. An old rickety stone house stood ominous and alone. The lights went down as the audience was taken to a place where ghosts existed, a place where the scariest of stories were told. Stephen King ' s macabre magic was brought to Northwest when the production of Ghost Stories, a group of five one-act plays based on King ' s stories, came to town. Adapted by Robert Pridham, the stories touched on the fears of the child in everyone. During the prologue. The Man, played by David Simmons, came out and set the mood with a monologue of things that went bump in the night like the boogeyman in the closet and the unknown thing under the covers. There was a lump on your bed, The Man said. I wanted you to put a hand on that shape. I wanted you to put your hand under the sheet to see what lay underneath. The stories unfolded as the audience was told what lay under that sheet. The Boogeyman, Strawberry Spring and Gray Matter were from King ' s Night Shift Collection. The Story of Timmy Baterman was included in Pet Cemetary while Uncle Otto ' s Truck was in the Skeleton Crew Collection. The Boogeyman blended the sane and the insane as a man told of the monster in the closet that had taken his three children away to a bodyless voice. The man finally succumbed to insanity as the voice became the voice of the monster in the closet. The Story of Timmy Baterman told of a young man who came back from the dead after being wounded in the war. His father ' s acceptance of his son without mental capacities back from the dead touched the heart and chilled the spine. Strawberry Spring was a blend of comedy and horror as a man revealed more than he should have about a serial killer murdering young girls at a campus. Gray Matter brought two townspeople face to face with a blob-like creature when the men bought it a beer and in Uncle Otto ' s Truck, a man was convinced the truck, which killed his business partner, was moving across the yard to kill him. All five tales were brought to the stage with the added effects of electronic drones, slits of shifting colored light and mechanically generated fog. The audience, many of whom had read the stories the play was based on, enjoyed the show overall. I had read all the books they were based on, Richard Trulson said. I thought they did a good job recreating it for the stage. Some of them lost the scarier qualities and it went at a slower pace. I thought they did a great job though. The blending of comedy with horror left one member chuckling, not shivering. I liked it a lot, John Wagner said. I had read all of the stories that were played. At times, I thought it was more comic than Stephen King stories. It seemed more funny than scary. As the lights came on and audience members prepared to go home, some took one last look back at the stage with the haunted house and quickened their pace to head towards their secure homes. By Mike Johnson The troupe of five actors play out the macabre scenes. Adapted from stories by Stephen King, Ghost Stories was a series of skits that mixed horror with humor.

The 1920 comical mystery took place in an old mansion and involved murders, stolen money and the mysterious person, the Bat. This was one of the first highly technical student productions at Northwest. James Rush played Detective Anderson, who in the last minute of the play was revealed as the Bat that everyone had searched to find. Rush enjoyed working on The Bat because of the technicality of the show. It was the most advanced show I had ever worked on, Rush said. It went surprisingly smooth due to the technical staff. 1 had nothing to do with it except stand underneath the lights and act. Rush said the midnight showing of The Bat was successful and should have been considered as a possibility when producing other plays. The audience response at the midnight showing was excellent, Rush said. I mentioned it to the faculty as an idea for other plays that would be appropriate for midnight perfor- mances. The cast put in about five weeks of practice, six days a week and Rush said all the practice was worth it. It was always worth it, Rush said. As far as I was concerned, it was part of my training as an actor. Although rumors had circulated that cancelling the Thursday showing was because of technical problems. Rush did not entirely agree. The technical difficulty of the show was overwhelming, Rush said. The staff was working literally 24 hours a day on the set. That was not an exaggeration. It wasn ' t the fault of the staff that the set was not done. Cancelling the first show was a good idea on their behalf. It enabled them to do the job better than they could have. Shelly Branstetter attended The Bat and loved it. The production was very good, Branstetter said. They had a good set, sound effects and acting. Branstetter said the character of Lizzie played by Cara Gitto was her favorite and she said Gitto ' s character added to the play ' s humor. Lizzie was comical, Branstetter said. Her mannerisms were great. She made the whole play. Branstetter also said the .set added to the play. A window was on the set that the production crew had made and Branstetter was impressed by the reality of it. The way the glass looked was great and the effort they put into it made it come across as a real scene which was really incredible, Bransetter said. This three-act play corroborated by Mary Roberts-Rinehart and Harvey Hopewood was a model for Agatha Christie when writing her plays and had been used by many as a background for mystery. By Kathy Higdon-Bolar Dale Ogden, played by Carol Patton, informs Detective Anderson, played by James Rush, that she was not involved in the murders. Detective Anderson was the Bat in disguise.

A male dancer bounded across the .stage in gold shorts, doing a mid-stage twirl before disappearing on the other side. Soon the stage was tilled w ith dancers in golden costumes pert ' orming with athletic prowess and smooth fluidity. The Hubbard Street Dance Company of Chicago performed five dance numbers, varying from the romantic to the space age, blending old and new styles. With 20 culturally di erse dancers, the company performed each year for a world-uide audience of over 1 50, (KM) people and appeared at such celebrated dance venues as the Holland Dance F- estival and The Kennedy Center. The first number they pertbrmed for the Northwest audience was called The Ciolden Section, originally produced and performed by the Twyla Tharp Dance I ' oundation on Broadway in 1 98 1 . The second number was Baker ' s Dozen, which brought the illusionof aspringday tothe stage as si,x men, dressed in white, danced with seven women dressed in white leotards v ith pastel dresses.

Georgia was next and while Willie Nelson ' s version of Georgia On My Mind played in the background, a man and woman danced in the spotlight. The 40s was the final number and the company came out in black lop hats and canes doing various dances of the era. Robert Bohlken, professor of speech, enjoyed the number. It had more unison, showy costumes and I could relate to the creativity, Bohlken said. With ' The 40s, ' the theme was more clearly defined as well. Students enjoyed the show. Even some of the more experienced members of the audience were impressed. Cerbin had danced since she was 10. I loved it, Cerbin said. They used so much creativity in making up the dances. I had been dancing for 5 years and had never seen anything like it. Older audience members also enjoyed the performance. I thought it was interesting, dynamic and energetic, Bohlken said. Ihe dancers gave it their all and it showed. As the audience roared its thunderous approval in a standing ovation, the dancers bowed, perspiration on their brow and smiles on their faces of a show executed with skill. By Mike Johnson Entertainment 85 WINGFIELD Gospel, Jazz and blues provide AND DAVIS inspiration and lifts spirits Toes were tapping, fingers were snapping and hands were clapping as singers Katherine Davis and Sidney Wingfield deiigiited the audience. The duo sang numerous songs with styles ranging from classic and Chicago blues to rhythm and blues, gospel and jazz. Wingfield took the stage first and gave the audience explicit instructions to be themselves. Don ' t be afraid to dance in the aisles, Wingfield said. Students took this statement literally as they jumped up and danced to their favorite jazz songs. Arms were up in the air and hips were shaking from side to side. Some of the more popular songs that were sung included Georgia On My Mind and Let the Good Times Roll. Wingfield surprised the audience by singing the themes from three popular television sitcoms, the Jeffersons. Cheers and All in the Family. Davis sang gospel songs with the help of Wingfield ' s piano playing. Davis inspired some members of the audience to sing with her, as she sang such gospel favorites as Pennies From Heaven. Another aspect the audience enjoyed was when Davis divided the crowd and started the women singing while the men sang a different verse. She finished by blending the two together. Martha Moss, assistant professor of computer science and information systems, enjoyed the participation of the audience and energy displayed by the crowd. I liked the enthusiasm of the audience and the singers, Moss said. I was surprised to see so many people get into it. Davis would not let Wingfield outdo her, as she too decided to arouse the audience. She requested that everyone be happy and give each other hugs and kisses. To Davis ' surprise a male student jumped out of the audience, ran up on stage and gave her a huge hug and kiss. The crowd roared with laughter. Not only were students encouraged to dance in the aisles, but they were asked to dance on stage. Students jumped onstage to join the duo in song and dance. Women tlirted around Wingfield at the piano, while men took turns dancing with Davis. One student enjoyed the experience of dancing with the singer. She said, You know, I really want to dance with somebody ' , Thom Hiatt said. I was the type of person that would do it. so I went up and danced with her. She was very romantic. Wingfield had played more than 25 years as a major keyboard artist and vocalist. Some of his credits included keyboard recording sessions with Mick Jagger. Son Seals and Luther Allison. Davis took her talent to theaters across the country, as she received wide acclaim for smging in various musicals. Davis and Wingfield were nominated many times in the ja music category of the Campus Entertainment Awards, given annually by college students. The show was a huge success with crowd participation. Heidi Gehrman. president ot Campus Activity Programmers, said. We met them at a convention in Omaha last year and decided we had to bring them here. The singing duo proved that although the music scene had changed, the classics still had their fans. By Sherri McCorkindale Aaron Hufty gives Katherine Davis a hug during her performance.

Entertainment 87 CHRISTMAS Charles Dickens ' classic tale of one man ' s CAROL rediscovery of youth comes to campus As the live orchestra played the opening chords of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, the curtain opened on a stage bustling with people opening their shops on Christmas Eve morning in London. As they worked and greeted other people on the street, the townsmen and women sang while snow fell on the set. As the Christmas season started, so began A Christmas Carol, the 1975 adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens ' tale of a man ' s rediscovery of youth. A Christmas Carol was a mainstay of the Christmas season from movie versions starring everyone from Oscar winner George C. Scott and the Muppets to television sitcoms and dramas which put their own twist on the tale. Charles Jones ' adaptation remained faithful to Dickens ' original version. The first performance of A Christmas Carol was on the mainstage of the Omaha Community Playhouse in 1975. Since then, Jones ' adaptation grew into four national tours that crossed the United States and Canada and was seen by overaquarterof a million people every year. A Christmas Carol featured a lavish set with an authentic looking toy store with a glass window and the counting shop where Ebenezer Scrooge toiled his hours. Along the streets, townspeople were dressed in period costumes with their carts, selling such things as scarfs, vegetables and ale. The show included special effects such as falling snow, a glowing sign, a revolving bed and smoke billowing from the fireplace in which Jacob Marley ' s ghost emerged from, weighted down with chains. Sounds like chains rattling and wind blowing added to the effect. Because the production was brought in from outside Northwest, admission was higher than campus theatrical presentations. But members of the audience appreciated the more lavish production. The effects were great, Michelle Higgins said. I could not figure out how the bed turned by itself. It looked heavy. Christmas carols such as Away in a Manger and Greensleeves were sung in musical numbers by the cast of 20. Tiny Tim, played by Stacy Volz, sang an acopella version of The Other Night, which was repeated with an echo effect when Scrooge saw the future with his family suffering from his death. A Christmas Carol was the story of an unlovable old man who was visited by three apparitions one Christmas Eve night. The ghosts showed him scenes from Christmases in the past, the present and how it would be in the future if he did not mend his ways. The insight brought about changes in Scrooge that affected relationships with the townspeople, his employees and nephew. Tony Medlin was the man behind Scrooge, hailing from Troy, N.C. He played the character in various productions of A Christmas Carol, including a one-man production entitled r continued Peter Cratchit anticipates his father ' s emer- gence from the counting house. The cast included many children who sang and danced through- out the show.

I first played Scrooge ten years and forty pounds ago, Mediin said. It was ueird coming tonight because on the night of my first performance of A Christmas Carol. there w as a total eclipse ot the moon so the atmosphere was very similar to that night ten years ago. I was also not feeling too hot on that night either. The role of Scrooge required a great deal of physical acti ity. During one dance number, he had to dodge the other dancers because he was invisible and at arious times, he had to leap into the air from excitement and fear. This was hard because the night he peiformed in Maryville he was sick. We did a lot of shows and there was a great strain on my voice along with the physical, Mediin said. It was hard to recover from being on a bus. There was no chance to recover from the flu. We had a sick bed in the back of the bus. which 1 had been occupying for a while. Although Mediin directed a variety of plays for different companies and pla ed characters ranging from King Lear to Willie Loman. he considered Scrooge the most complex and difficult to play. Scrooge w as one of the most desperate characters in literature, Mediin said. Even with desperate characters, there had to be a basically good center. It was hard to work up to it, but I did not get tired of it. On stage, the role became absolutely real. Scrooge felt guilty and needed forgiveness. He needed redemption. It carried me away with its power. Mediin loved the character but, at 42 years old. couki see a time when he could not do it with the intensity it required. It was such a demanding role, Mediin said. As long as I could do the role justice. 1 v ould do it. I was 42 and was already feeling the age restraints of doing this old man. Mediin believed that Charles Dickens did something that no other person had done before and encouraged the reading of the novella. Dickens created Christmas. Mediin said. The ideas were there but Dickens put them all in one place. He worked in the sweat houses before gaining fame as a writer so he was aware of the fellow man and the ravages that fate could dole out. ' A Christmas Carol ' brought these ideas into a single inspirational tale. When I pertbrmed. I tried to get children to read the novella because no production could replace Dicken ' s eloquent prose. Mediin and company left a favorable impression on the audience, filled uith children, students and older people. The props and set were just grand. Natalie Banks said. The actors were incredible, even the kids. 1 really did not think of them as actors when they were performing. .Another member of the audience did not expect the astness of the production. It was bigger and more involved, Higgins said. I thought it would be good but I did not imagine it to be this big. As the cast bowed to thunderous applause, the words of Tiny Tim echoed through the theater, leaving a smile on even the most unmovable Scrooge. God Bless Us Everyone. Dickens ' A Christmas Carol began tu unfold on the stage of the . Iar Linn Performing . rts Center uith the song God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.

By Mike Johnson Entertainment 91 CHRISTMAS Randy, the Red-Horned Rainmoose PLAY brings a children ' s fantasy to stage Everyone had heard of Dasher, Dancer. Prancer. Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and the red nosed Rudolph, but few i new Randy. In Randy, the Red-Homed Rainmoose, the story of this forgotten rainmoose was told to a group of young and young at heart. The children ' s Christmas play became a tradition 17 years ago. A $1 donation was requested at the door to support Maryvilie Food Pantry in lew of admission. The production gave students a chance to direct and perform for a group that could sometimes be the toughest critics. In order to keep the children ' s attention, Randy, the Red-Homed Rainmoose was a mixture of participation and fantasy. Although there was a storyline, there was not a strict fourth wall and the actors were able to interact with children. The audience was seated on the floor, giving it a more informal atmosphere. Actors, dressed as elves, entertained the kids before the show. They visited, did magic tricks and even took down Christmas lists. I will come get you a reindeer if you want one, Scott Hite said to one boy. We will bring you lots of cool games too. The elves then led the audience in a group of Christmas carols. The Twelve Days of Christmas was done with actions as the audience was divided into smaller groups to sing what their tme love brought them. The story of Randy, the under-appreciated rainmoose whose job was to clean up after the messy elves, then began. When Rudolph got sick, Santa Claus and the elves were afraid Christmas would be ruined because of the thick fog and no one to guide the sleigh. When they made the discovery that Randy ' s homs glowed, the rainmoose saved Christmas. During the show, several children yelled out comments to the actors. According to director Shawn Wake, it was planned that way. The kids reacted the way I wanted them to, Wake said. I tried to wam the actors what would happen. Kids yelled out stuff at any time so they had to be on their toes. Paige Vandenburg, who played an elf named Fred, enjoyed the interaction with the kids. We got to play with the kids, Vandenburg said. We did not have to stick to a strict script so we could change lines if we wanted to which gave us more freedom to work with. Although Vandenberg had been in other productions, she said this was the most challenging. I had to be faster on my feet, Vandenburg said. I had to react to the kids and ad lib quite a bit. They could see right through us so we had to be careful. Children ' s theater was the toughest type of theater to do. One student enjoyed the change of format. I loved it, Jill Wood said. It was different from other productions in that the kids were not left out. They were very much part of the play. The tale of Randy, the Red-Horned Rainmoose had even the the toughest critics glowing as the actors took their bows. By Mike Johnson u After being told that Santa ' s sleigh needs to be waxed.

Entertainment 93 KANSAS CITY Orchestra brings the experience SYMPHONY of live classical music With horns blowing, violins strumming and cymbals banging, the Kansas City Symphony brought a mixture of classical music along with new instrumental music to campus. The Kansas City Symphony, directed by William McGlaughlin. had performed at North- west seven previous times. The symphony gained national recognition with a 1988 Public Broadcasting System television special. The King ' s Singers Holiday special with the Kansas City Symphony. ■■ It also made two recordings and was broadcast on Saint Paul Sunday Morning ' s Easter program in 1988 and 1989. It was one of only three nationally recognized Missouri symphonies, in the company of St. Louis Symphony and St. Joseph Symphony. According to Sharon Bonnett, of KXCV public radio station, this made the symphony special. We liked to showcase some of our talent, Bonnett said. The Mid America Arts Alliance offered funding for non-profit groups to bring such programs to the area. Kansas City Symphony represented some of the best talent Missouri had to offer. The symphony played Johannes Brahms Tragic Overture and Symphony No. 4 in E minor. Both began softly, but ended in a loud finale of sound with the orchestra feverishly playing a variety of instruments from the violin to the tuba. McGlaughlin also chose a selection from Kay Gardner called Rainforest, which evoked the sounds of the tropics. Kay Gardner wrote this in 1 978 while she was living in San Francisco, McGlaughlin said. There was a sense of quiet and calm. It was written before the political uproar over rainforests and long before Madonna or the Grateful Dead even heard of them. The other new piece the symphony played was Summerset by Cary John Franklin. It was written about childhood memories, McGlaughlin said. Franklin told a story about growing up in the music. There was the element of the little boy listening to a train and then little murmunngs and then a big disturbance. To this day, he was afraid of tornadoes. According to Bonnett, bringing entertainment like this to campus was important. People who lived 100 miles away from the live performing group had an easier access, Bonnett said. There was another dmiension. While the radio station offered live perfor- mances, there was the dynamic of the experience. It gave members of the community as well as the students a chance to experience it live. Jennifer Stort also believed hearing it in person was better than hearing it on the radio. It was better live, Stort said. It was great actually being there. I liked it because it was something different, something everyone did not enjoy. According to Channing Homer. Spanish professor, students found themselves surprised. It was extremely good for the students to have it at a low price, Homer said. Some of them were required to go and were pleasantly surprised. Blending the old styles with the new, the Kansas City Symphony gave Northwest students the opportunity to have a live musical experience. ri By Mike Johnson Conductor William McGlaughlin, right, is bid farewell after finishing Brahms ' Symphony No. 4 in E minor.

Entertainment 95 JIM Hypnotist mesmerizes w i t ii WAND mind over matter Returning to Northwest for two more sold out performances, hypnotist Dr. Jim Wand once again astounded the audience. Wand had performed on campus and had become somewhat of a legend as well as a favorite among many students. Watching people do things under hypnosis had provided students and community members entertainment and laughter for 1 5 performances during the past seven years. Wand stressed that a person would never do anything he or she would not do in real life. Hypnosis did not take morals away. Still, students did do a variety of things under hypnosis like simulated strip acts and pretending to be singers like Garth Brooks. Because of the demand to see people doing the unbelievable on stage. Wand and Campus Activity Programmers added a 9 p.m. performance along with his 7 p.m. show. Students paid $4 a piece for his return engagement. Stacey Han.sen enjoyed watching people come off the stage and still be in a trance. Wand proved this by having students act out at the mention of a special word. After coming out of their trances, students were asked to go back to their seats while still under Wand ' s spell. Wand showed this by having them smell one another or jump up and yell kiss me, Fm vaccinated. When the girl smelled the guy next to him because Jim Wand cued her was good, Hansen said. I also really liked the Dating Game. The Dating Game consisted of three men who were bachelorettes and one man who was a bachelor. After playing the game, the bachelor chose a bachelorette and they won a trip to Acapulco for their date. Although Dorothy Corless wanted to be hypnotized she decided to watch the show. I liked it when he had people sing and act crazy, Corless said. When the people were dancing around, that was my favorite. Doug Swink also chose to watch the show this time instead of going under. It was more fun watching it, Swink said. When I was on stage. I did not get to watch myself. It was better watching my friends. Angel Bowman was not an amateur when it came to attending Wand ' s performances as this was her fourth performance. Because of the many times she had seen it, she said there was not too much variety. Since I had seen it before, a lot of it was the same, but some of it was different, Bowman said. It was still hilarious. To allow students to experience hypnosis in a smaller setting. Wand provided a mini- hypnosis session on Jan. 2 1 . Audience members were invited to attend and learn more about ending addicting habits or different motivation skills. The workshop provided people with a 25-page handout on how to regularly hypnotize themselves. Hypnotizing sold-out crowds. Wand showed the power of the mind.

Jan. Bobby, ( indy and Alice all took the stage for The Real Live Brady Bunch. The shou was a reenactnicni ol ihc sitcom that performed the most memorable episodes of the ' 70s. Jim Tosney. who played Greg Brady, said the live show brought it to a new level. This was different than any kind of theater I had done. Tosney said. It was like vaudeville. Since it was live and we used the actual script, it heightened the show. When the spectators arrived at Mary Linn Performing Arts Center popular disco music like the Car Wash an d Hey, I Will Survive greeted them. The orchestra pit was decorated like a 70s living room with flower print, yellow and orange couches and huge throw pillow s. The living room was to make the audience feel like they were actually watching television. Along with the living room, there were applause signs that lit up to encourage the audience to clap. To energi e the crowd, cast members threw out two big beach balls for the crowd to bump back and forth while they performed a dance to YMCA. The beach balls brought laughter and smiles to the audience and set the madcap mood of fun for the rest of the night. The audiences were exactly what we wanted from an audience. Tosney said. They came saying ' Hey. I paid the money and I was expecting a good time and I was going to come in with a good attitude that I wanted to be entertained. The actors also held a game show where members of the audience were the contestants and competing for various prizes. For The Real Live Game Show. four audience members were chosen to be contestants. The game had three rounds in which the contestants were competing for the audience s approval. After each round, a contestant would leave and the one that was left on stage would win the game. Each contestant was awarded for their participation in the game show. Prizes ranged from condoms to a free steak dinner at Towerview to Yoohoo, a chocolate drink. Since the night was real television, after each round there would be a series of commercials. Most of the commercials centered around Northwest s eating establishments. One commercial was Batman in a purple and white lycra suit stating the importance of Dunkin Dounuts to fight off the forces of evil. Another was Liza Minneli. played by Patricia Cotter, talking about Towerview and the similarities of steak and men. I like my men like my steak: well done, ' Cotter said. Following a brief intermission, the episode of The Real Live Brady Bunch started. The episode the cast performed was Her Sister s Shadow about middle child Jan sjealousy of older child Marcia. One aspect of the show that audiences found funny was having adults playing kids. This also presented a challenge for the actors. I thought that it was a challenge for me because I was 29 and I was playing a 1 6-year-old, Tosney said. Another challenge, I was not like Greg Brady and the whole joke of the show The Bradys have a family talk to encourage .Fan to become a cheerleader. The Real Live Brady Bunch per- formed Her Sister ' s Shadow, an episode from the original television show. Photo by Jon Britton. — continued Entertainment 99 THE REAL LIVE BRADY BUNCH was that we had adults playing kids. Another challenge for the actors was getting everything perfected, since most of the audience members were Brady fans. According to Carrie Aizley. who played Jan Brady, the cast watched Brady episodes to get the show in perfect form. It was very specific work, we had to get things down pat, Aizley said. People in the audience were die hard fans and they knew when we goofed, they knew when it was not on target. We sat and watched the episode that we were doing and watched them over and over on video and studied each individual. Audience members thought that the cast was terrific and very precise. It was hilarious, Jennifer Knight said. Jan was my favorite character because she acted just like the Jan in the (television) show. Another highlight of the show were the clothes of the 70s on parade. Tosney did not feel comfortable in his clothes, but it helped him build his character. The clothing that I wore was a pox on humanity, Tosney said. Nobody should have been forced to wear corduroy or polyester, but it helped me play a Greg that was so hippy he was lame. It helped you get in the mood, but it was awful. Following the show, the cast sang different songs such as Keep on Movin and Sunshine Day. During that time the cast played on how the actors of the television show liked each other off the show. During one of the songs, Greg was dancing suggestively with Marcia then Carol cut in and started dancing with Greg in the same manner. According to Tosney the cast took their ideas from Barry Williams book Growing Up Brady in which the actor wrote about his life as a child star on the set of a hit television series. He discussed such things as his relationships with Florence Henderson (the Brady mom) and Robert Reed ' s (the Brady dad) alcoholism. We took a lot of ideas from Williams book, Tosney said. We played out those ideas throughout the show. Members of the audience were impressed by every aspect of the show. I loved it. Daniel Breeze said. It was explosive, it was wonderful, it was great. Tosney thought that doing the show live was what made it such a huge success. The show became almost twisted and strange, Tosney said. We were actually doing the lines of the show and actually doing the episode as it was written because it was live and everybody knew the characters there was some sort of transformation that took place. The whole atmosph ere from the beginning of the show when it opened to the end was like a Jjuge party. After the final curtain call, the audience members left the theater singing Here is the story, of a lovely lady, who was bringing up three very lovely girls . . . .

Entertainment 101 CITY OF Murder and mayhem rages in lavish ANGELS musical set in Los Angeles Taking the audience on a trip down memory lane to black and white movies and the jazzy sounds of the late ■40s. the musical City of Angels, depicted sex and love in both the movies and real life. The plot of City of Angels was split into two different casts, the movie cast, whose set and clothing was all in black and white and the Hollywood cast, whose .set was color. Stine, the main character of the Hollywood cast, was attempting to turn one of his books into a screenplay. Much to Stine ' s dismay, the director. Buddy Fidler, did not like any of his scenes and he ended up rewriting them. The screenplay Stine was writing involved a detective named Stone, who accepted the job of finding the young and beautiful Mallory Kingsley for her equally beautiful step-mother, Alaura Kingsley. What Stone did not know was that Mallory was not missing but Alaura had contrived a plan to kill her husband Luther to inherit his money. Stone ' s search was cut short when Mallory showed up at his apartment attempting to seduce him. Right when Stone fell into her trap, a man burst into the room and took a picture of them in bed together, which ended up just being part of a plan to get Stone arrested. Both Stine and Stone were having woman troubles. Stine loved his wife, who left him to pursue her writing interests in New York, but also liked having a mistress on the side. Stone was caught up in his past love, Bobby, who left Stone after the one man that could get her into pictures was killed. To further complicate the plot, Stine and Stone attempted to help each other out with their various women and employment problems. Stone was angry that Stine was giving up his principles as a writer so that Fidler would get his way. Stone was Susan Ebke ' s favorite character because he was a typical ' 40s man. Stone, he was hilarious, he was your typical 4()s character, Ebke said. To go along with the fast paced two-part plot, the music kept the plot rolling. Songs such as Double Talk. The Tennis Song and Everybody Gotta Be Somewhere kept the tempo going as well as told part of the story. My favorite part of the play was the singing, Ebke said. Because it really brought the show together, made everything fit. Another tradition of the ' 40s in City of Angels was a four piece singing group, called Angel City 4 which cleared up some of the confusing portions of the plot. I had never heard or seen the show before, but after just seeing the first half I ' m gonna go out and get the CD, Jeffery Stringer said. I loved the music. It was really stylish. It was just an incredible sound. The Tony award-winning musical went on the road on Nov. I and had a two week stint in Kansas City, Mo., and one-nighters on college campuses throughout the country.

Feb. . ' i. The Northwest Jazz Band opened for the Woody Herman Band with songs lii e My Romance and Greasy .Sack Blues. Encore performances such as Woody Herman and the Young Thundering Herd provided students the chance for a culttual advancement. Encore performances were a great opportunity and benefitted many students culturally. John Ent i. director of the Northwest Jazz Band. said. I w ished there were more thai attended, because Woody Herman made a large impact on a lot of my students. Entzi prepared his ja z band for the Woody Herman and the Young Thundering Herd performance by ha ing his students listen to a ariety of Herman ' s musical pieces. During the fall semester, 1 played Woody Herman pieces to my Jazz Ensemble class, so they would appreciate him more in person. Entzi said. Members of the audience enjoyed the opportunity to listen to the Northwest Jazz Band along with Woody Herman and the Young Thundering Herd. Carol Cronin seldom had the chance to hear a performance from the Northwest Jazz Band because she was a graduate assistant and spent the majority of her time preparing and teaching classes. It was the best 1 had ever heard from them. Cronin said. 1 did not get to hear them very much because I was always teaching. Sheena Grenier, a music education major, enjoyed the jazz musical festival because she could relate to the emotions the bands were trying to produce. It was great. Grenier said. My favorite part was when Darcie Ashley performed My Romance. ' It just kind of put you in the mood. Although hearing members of a jazz band from Northwest had its plusses. Woody Herman and the Young Thundering Herd produced a performance the audience was pleased with. However, a pert ormance of jazz bands w as not all the Jazz Festiv al w as about. Nineteen high school bands competed at the festival. Four of the 19 bands went home with 1st place wins: Melcher-Dallas High School. Maryville Jazz II. Paseo Academy and Shawnee Mission East. Woody Herman and the Thundermg Herd helped out the high school bands with clinics and the concert as an example of how a professional jazz band sounds. Brian Watts, bass guitarist of the Northwest Jazz Band, enjoyed the pert ' ormance of the professional jazz band, but believed there should be nK)re opportunities to listen to jazz musicians at Northwest. It was great. Watts said. We needed to bring more jazz stuff to Northwest. Brassy sounds and blues ended the evening with applause as Woody Herman and the Young Thundering Herd took their bows and left the stage.

Med ed s lecture was part of the Culture of Quality Program. Photo by Jack Vaught. Famous author and Public Broadcasting System film critic Michael Medsed took the stage vvitii his message on the etlects HoliywDod played in people ' s lives. Medved based his lecture upon the book ' Hollywood vs. America that caused an uproar in the film industry. 1 belie ed that a great many Americans were not pleased uiih the type ol vM)rk that Hollywood was doing, Medved said. Medved also said that the biggest issue with the mo ies was caused by popular culture in people ' s lives. 1 had come to beliexc that the biggest issue u ilh mm ies and lele ision was not too much violence and it was not too much sexuality, it was not too much toul language and it was not too much neohlism. ' Ihe biggest problem was simply too much popular culture in our lives altogether, Medved said. Med ed spoke of three basic points Hollywood promoted. The first point being Hollywood did ni)i mtluence its audiences, they just entertained them. Hollywood did not want to be know n for the negative aspects of w hat ihey did. they only wanted to be known for the positi e aspects. Medved said. Medved also spoke ofthe idea of people in Hollywood thinking they did not shape .America; they just reflected the actions of Americans, which Medved disagreed with. .Surveys showed a direct correlation betw een prolonged exposure to telev ised iolence and more hostile aggressi e altitudes and behaviors m real life. Med ed said. The final aspect Medved spokeof was the idea that if one did not like the message they saw on the tele ision then simply turn it off. He did not believe in the Hollywood philosophy. In this culture you could run but you could not hide and it was very easy to say. okay, Med ed said. If you did not like it. turn it off but il was not easy to do that, Med ed ended his lecture by warning that .Americans spent too much time watching television and there were more important aspects in life. Some students agreed with Medved ' s message while others did not share his views. I thought he was very interesting, Susan Snyder said. Even though he was broad on his speaking approach, his viewpoints were still interesting. I also agreed with the points that he made. Dr. Richard Frucht thought Medved presented a lecture that made students think. Michael Medved presented an interesting lecture because it addressed a timely issue ofthe relationship between the media and violence or other attitudes in Ameincan society today, Frucht said. What he presented were ideas and opinions that the audience could discuss and consider. A famous movie critic with a controversial message, Medved took the stage with a lecture on how Hollywood affected lives.

The cast originated from 22 different countries and were approximately 1 00 persons strong. They were betw een the ages of 1 7 and 26 and had applied after they attended a previous show. Applications were available after the performance at Northwest as well. The performance was presented as a live satellite broadcast w ith the iev ers playing the side of a li e studio audience. Members had only five weeks to prepare themselves for every aspect of their year-long tour. We all changed roles, so we had to learn all aspects of the tour from the selling of souvenirs, to the music and dance routines. Marianna Landros said. It was very difficult, we worked long hours often from six in the morning ' til nine at night. Cast members also had luggage requirements. We could take only one bag with us during the tour. Landros said. It could weigh up to a maximum of 40 pounds. Up With People presented educational messages through song and dance. Themes such as staying in school and the foundation of the family were presented. Protecting the earth, helping the refugees in the Balkan States, helping the homeless and AIDs were themes also introduced into the performance. The audience got into the act when cast members brt)ught some of the crowd on stage to learn a dance routine. One audience member who appeared on stage was Kristin Schmaljohn. The show was incredible, it was really good. Schmaljohn said. I just liked seeing the different outfits (from other countries) and what they wore. Without host families. Up With People would not have been possible. Mark and Pat Kinman, Northwest alumni and their children, Christopher and Caitlin. hosted three cast members. It was wondertul to have been a host fanuly. Pat said. The kids learned a lot. we had a really good time. They shared w ith us what they knew and their experiences and learned about what we had here. Members of Up With People learned about ditf ereiit cultures by traveling through Europe and the United States. It was wonderful, the kids liked watching the people they knew up there. Pat said. During one number, the performers went into the audience and brought their host families ' children up on stage. The highlight of the show was when the cast brought the kids from Maryville up on the stage and did the whole theme about the keepers of the universe and protecting the earth, Angela Moss said. With a burst of energy that lasted throughout the show, the cast members of Up With People brought culture and made a lasting impression upon the audience of all ages w ith their tour World In Motion.

Forbidden Broadway found a a to procure a humorous viewpoint of all iable aspects of a Broadway production from the actor himself to the decisions of the songwriter. The cast poked fun at the classics from Cameloi to the more contemporary plays like Annie. The cast members of Forbidden Broadway borrowed the tunes from famous musicals and mockeil the characters and reproductions of the performances. Cast member Brian Noonan had played Gus and Cirowltiger m the Broadway priiduction Cats before joinins: Forbidden Broadway anti was the youngest artist ever to create the role in the Cats production. In Forbidden Broadway, he acted out his impersonation of the intoxicated actor playing King Arthur m Camelot with a song about the actor ' s drinking problem and how it affected performances. 1 wonder w hat the king is drinking tonight. Noonan sang. Oh I wonder how the king is doing tonight. Forbidden Broadway also took the opportunity to play off the humor of the Broadway show Cats in the irony the actors were animals instead of humans. Because several of the parodies made during the production of Forbidden Broadway dealt with the finer details of theater performances, having a knowledge of the history of Broadwas musicals helped audience members understand the satires. 1 thought it was very funny, even though 1 had not seen all the ones they did and did not get a lot out of it. Ann Shea said. Amy (iuenthner believed it was easier to find the performance humourous because she knew about the majority of the musicals the actors were mocking. It was really funny. Guenthner said. I knew a lot of the musicals and when they did the songs I could relate lo them. Cast member .Shana Mahoney, who had previous roles in Camelot and in The Phantom of the Opera. came out onto the stage dressed as Evita singing a tune about Barbara .Streisand being picked for the television reproduction of the Broadway show. She performed a remake of the tune Don ' t Cry for me Argentina. showing her disdain for the casting decision. Don ' t cry for me Barbara Streisand. Mahoney sang. The truth is 1 ne er liked you. Mike Howland found this to be his favorite pail of the show. 1 loved Broadway musicals, the parodies were perfect. Howland said. The Barbara Streisand bit was hilarious. The cost of souvenirs did not escape the wrath of laughter the cast caused. Although it cost $60 to come see the show, Joe Paperella sang. It cost 60 more to leave. Forbidden Broadway mocked the great white way of theater districts and made a production the audience loved.

The Feaste was a holiday event sponsored by Celebration, a choir in which students auditioned to be a part of. It was a big honor to be chosen out of 100 o 200 people who auditioned, that made up a group of 26. Kip Mathew said. It was a big honor, it opened up a lot of doors tor me. Members performed two concerts and went on a nationwide lour and in .lanuary they performed at the Music Educators con ention in Tantara, Mo. Members ol Celebration also participated in ' West Side Story . ' West Side Story. was a musical love story of Tony and Maria and the moralistic tale of rival gangs whodisco ered fighting w as wrong. Se eral members of Celebration participated in the production of West Side Story , Mathew said. Francie Miller and Mark Petit had lead roles in the musical. ' West Side Story ' was the first true University performance, in the sense that it combined different areas of Norlhw est. The theater department and music department w orked on it together and it also included the public relations department for publicity. However, their biggest event was the Feaste. Normally we practiced three hours a week. Mathew said. During preparations for the Feaste we put anywhere from two to three nights a week, spending several hours at a time. Guests were led into the J.W. Jones Student Llnion Ball Room by Lords and Ladies of the Renaissance Era and gathered around a table, with a bowl of Wassail as the Madraliers walked in and began to sing. Later, dinner was served and guests were entertained by several small groups singing Christmas carols. After dinner, the Wench, played by Carol Patton. and the Hag, played by Jennifer Brandt, spontaneously sang You ' ve Lost that Loving Feeling to an unsuspecting male in the audience. The rest of the audience joined them in the serenade. Dr. Richard Weymuth. choirmaster of the Feaste, said teamwork was the key to putting together such an event. It was a pleasure to work for a University, things like this could not happen without team work, Weymuth said. It was a total University production working together. Some members of the audience were overwhelmed by the Feaste. Vanessa Mannasmith was in tears after the performance. I really enjoyed the Yuietide Feaste, it was beautiful, Mannasmith said. The music was great. It reminded me a lot of past Christmases. It was really wonderful. I had not been to the Feaste for a couple of years and I realized how much I had missed it. Productions like West Side Story and the Yuietide Feaste were just a few of the many performances Celebration broueht to the campus. _ _ . _. ■ By Ruby Dittmer Entertainment 113 114 Academics Division As the year began, Academics seemed anything but routine when Dr. Robert Culbertson, vice president of Academic Affairs resigned from office and Dr. Patt VanDyke took over as interim.

Academics 115 ADVISERS PI A V IMPORTANT ROLES By Tami Dodson Whether it was choosing a class, sitting around tallying or setting a time to get together for sporting activities after classes, students and advisers played important roles throughout col- lege years. Advisers were there for students if assistance was needed. They helped decide what classes should be taken when and sometimes which professors to take. Some students went to see their advisers at least once a week, others only saw them when it was time to register for the next semester. Dana Auriemma thought she and her adviser. Dr. Chris Schneider, had a good relationship. When it was time for registering for classes or if Auriemma had a problem, she knew Schneider would be there for her. I did not go to see her very often. Auriemma said. But when we saw each other we got along pretty good. Having more than one ad- vi.ser or having to switch advis- ers in mid-semester was also hard for students. They seemed to switch ad- visers a lot in the department I was in. Jennifer Mott said. I was being bounced between two advisers and went to see someone who was not my main adviser whenever I had to see my adviser. Michael Stephenson and Auriemma had their advisers for teachers. Both saw their ad- visers about every other day. ■ ' I had Bayo Oludaja as both an adviser and teacher, Stephenson said. Plus. I went to .see him about once a week The adviser role was more than putting a signature on a piece of paper, it was also getting to know tiH stu- dents people as well, Bayo Oludaja said. other than in class to talk or we met to play soccer or racquetball. Some advisers treated their advisees as equals, as well as students. Oludaja thought it was good for a student to know their adviser cared about both academic and other aspects of a student ' s life. Advisers should be there to help students in dealing with some of life ' s problems if the ad- viser was needed, Oludaja said. These con- tacts helped to promote good relationships be- tween advisers and their advisee ' s. Oludaja thought one of the main duties of an adviser was to be the link between students and the administration. An adviser needed to make sure the student knew what was required of them from semester to semester and year to year, Oludaja said. While the students were in school they could meet these requirements and not have to go to the adminis- tration and complain about not graduating because the re- quirements were not met. Oludaja spoke of his rela- tionship with Stephenson as well. It was helpful for both he and I that we were so close, Oludaja said. The adviser role was more than putting a signa- ture on a piece of paper, it was also getting to know the stu- dents as people as well. Whether students and their advisers saw each other on a daily or a semester basis, the role the adviser played had a direct affect on the lives of their advisees.

The new installment plan made it easier for students to pay their I ' niversity hill. Photo hy Laura Riedel. Northwest changed installment plans From three payments to allow students to pay their tuition in smaller, more convenient increments. Jeanette Whited, treasurer, explained why they implemented the revised installment plan. We thought having four installments would fit in better with family budgeting. Whited said. The nevK plan allowed forstudents to pay their tuition in fourths instead of thirds. Finance charges of two-thirds percent interest per month were charged for not paying the balance in full. Students were always encouraged to pay off their bills as soon as possible. Any student who paid in full did not have the finance charge attached to their bill. The only differences were having one more installment to pay. Jane Smith of the cashiering department spoke of how the plan was easier for students to use. This plan made it easier for students and their families to budget their money and helped those who got paid monthly to be able to pay their bills, Smith said. Financial aid was applied to the students bill first, with the remaining bal- ance divided into fourths to be paid the l. ' Sth of each month. Students seemed to respond favorably to the new plan ac- cording to Whited. There had been no com- plaints, Whited said. It was the same process as before and there was more work for us, but the advantages outweighed the efforts put into the work done. Smith said nn)st students ei- ther said it was great to have ' It was process i ' - before ind there was more work for us, but the advantages ouiwcignicu the efforts into work Jeanette Whited said. extra time to pay. or they thought there were still three installments. As in years past, anyone who signed up for the installment plan was automatically put into the plan. The only exceptions were students who had made special arrangements and needed more time to pay their bills. Whited was excited about how much easier this plan was for students and their families to pay their tuition bills on time and was happy the plan would be the one used from now on. Definitely the plan would be used next year, Whited said. Unless there was a need to change, we planned to continue to use it for the students. Even though James Aldrich had problems with the installment plan, he thought the Univer- sity should continue to use it. Aldrich was not supposed to be on the plan, but problems with applying for financial aid forced him to make payments using the new plan. They should keep the plan because it allowed for more time to collect money to pay the bill, Aldrich said. I liked how it also allowed for smaller payments to be made when paying my bill. Although the new plan caused more paperwork lor the administration. Smith said the new plan was more convenient to students and their families. If it was mt)re convenient for students and their families, then they should use it. Smith said. The extra chance given to students to pay their tuition made the new installment plan work for everyone. same Academics 121 GAINING HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE By Sherri McCorkindale Their palms became sweaty, butterflies danced in their stomachs and thoughts of screaming kids filled their minds. What was this nervous condition? It was student teaching. For many education majors the idea of student teaching was frightening. What if they could not solve every problem ' . ' What if they did some- thing wrong and the kid threatened to tell their parents ' ? Thoughts like these were common for students about to embark on their first adventure in student teaching. Many found student teaching to be helpful, despite the fears they experienced before taking over their own class. Kim Janky completed her student teaching in St. Joseph at Skaith Elemen- tary School and found experiences in Brown Hall enhanced her teaching abilities. Horace Mann, the elementary school located in Brown Hall, provided students the opportunity to teach classes before student teach- ing. Teaching at Brown Hall helped me prepare for student teaching, but teaching in St. Joe made me feel like a real teacher in control of my own class- room, Janky said. Janky found she had more interaction with kids during her student teaching in St. Joseph. There was more busy work and demands to follow during my practicum at Brown, Janky said. At the St. Joe school, there was more time to concentrate on the quality of my teaching. Kristin Pryor discovered dif- ferences in teaching from Brown Hall to other schools. Teaching at Brown Hall helpcu me pre- pare for student teaching, but teaching in St. Joe made me feel like real teacher in control of my own class- room, Kim Janky said. One of the major differences was the teachers had a larger budget to work with, Pryor said. Most schools never had enough money to go on all the field trips that the Horace Mann kids got to go on. Horace Mann also had access to materials from different departments. If I needed some science supplies for my practicum, I would check them out at Northwest s science department and return them when I was through, Pryor said. While Horace Mann students had more privi- leges than regular schools, Pryor found the chil- dren to be well-disciplined. There were no major problems with dfsci- pline at Horace Mann, but I suspected there to be discipline problems in larger schools in the in- ner-city, Pryor said. Another difference was the evaluation by teachers in their schools. At Horace Mann, students were evaluated by their instructors anytime during their practicum, while student teachers in other schools were evaluated on set dates. 1 was more nervous in Brown Hall, because my in- structors could check on me anytime, Janky said. Although it was something feared at times, student teach- ing was an experience that no education major would forget. Despite the differences from teaching in Horace Mann and teaching in other schools, stu- dent teachers still gained the knowledge necessary for the real world.

Northwest was more than a place of lec- tures and exams. Students were often surprised and pleased by the amount of free services the University made a ailable to them. One such service, w hich was designed to help .students locate future jobs, was Career Place- ment Services. Jeannine Gaa, director of Career Services, believed students could not help but be im- pressed by both the literature and guidance they could find at the center. At Career Services, we provided a variety of information on graduate programs throughout the country, Gaa said. In addition, we helped with resume ' s and interviewing skills. Plus, we tried to introduce the students to businesses that might offer future employ- ment. The pressures of campus life often surprised students and they turned to the services of- fered by the Counseling Cen- ter. Trying to maintain good grades, while juggling a social life, was often more demand- representative at ing than holding down a 9 to 5 Career Day. job, Jim Nelson said.

The program Yoder. was provided by the staff at B.D. Owens Library and beginning in the spring of 1992, it quickly became utilized. According to Georgene Tiniko, director of the library, approximately 166 students applied for this service in the fall of I99.V Students have really responded to this type of service that the library provided, Timko said. In fact, anyone taking a 200 level or above class could take advantage of this free service. Timko said the process to gain assistance with research was simple. A student filled out an application then a librarian researched then- lopic. The librarian and student then set up a conference time to talk over the subject. Stu- dents found this service saved them valuable time. I had one student say You saved my aca- demic career with the term paper research ser- vice, Timko said. For the librarians, it was labor intensive, but the payback was worth it. Sara Uphoff believed the free services the University made available to students made life easier in a place that was a home away from home. It was nice to know, that the University provided so many services free. ' Uphoff said. It let you know they really cared about the students and their welfare. It made it a much more friendly place to be. The University was prima- rily a place of higher learning, and with the numerous free services offered, dealing with stress and term papers became easier for those who took ad- vantage of the .services.

BACK ALUMNI By Shelley Stangle At tirst glance, the raniiliarcaiiipus looked the same, the only difference was ihey were not students anymore, but professors. They had graduated, received teaching degrees and. for some, a doctorate. They found themsehes teaching in the same institution where they had studied. Dr. Ed Farquhar. professor of chemistry and physics, graduated from Northwest in 1958 and coming back to teach was the farthest thing from his mind until he attended graduate school. 1 had a variety of plans when 1 graduated from Northwest, Farquhar said. Initially, I was going to teach mathematics in high schtxil. Then I went to grad school and the closer 1 came to my Ph.D the more I thought about teaching in college. Coming back to his alma mater was a decision he made because of the area. ' I came back largely because 1 had had so many good experi- ences as an undergraduate and because this part of the country was home to me. Farquhar said. Having once attended Northwest . professors found it was easier to display pride and put forth more effort into their work. It was 14 years after I graduated that I started teach- ing here and things had changed a lot. Richard Flanagan said. I put more into my teaching and worked harder because it was my alma mater. Some professors noticed that student activities had changed It easier to understand the student, f van said. They were still the kind of people and came from the same areas. since the went to school at Northwest. The students were more consersative than they were when I attended. Brenda Ryan said. ' There was also more emphasis on job prepara- tion. There was more focus on the indi idual. The school w as still as friendly, student-oriented and the faculty focused on teaching. There were many times when professors were reminded of their college days when students did something they had also done. I recalled the procrastination, Ryan said. Especially around the end of the semester, everyone tried to get stuff done at the last minnte. Having attended the University had its advan- tages and disadvantages for professors when it was lime for them to teach because they under- stood the extracurricular activities students had access to and had to deal with it. It was easier to understand the student. They were still the same kind of people and came from the same areas. Ryan said. I knew how the school and groups worked and under- stood when students wrote about such things. However, sometimes I wondered if I would have benefitted from having taught at another school. Although the first few years were sometimes unusual for the professors, it was also nice to be familiar with the campus and their surroundings. They were able to relate easier with their students and were more dedicated than they might have been otherwise. Academics 127 PRODUCING A NEW IMAGE By Cody Walker Northwest stepped into the bright hghts and action of prime time television during 1993 as part of its new image campaign to recruit stu- dents. Universities fought harder for students, Dave Gieseke, director of news and informa- tion, said. Many were doing a lot of activities to get students interested. We did what businesses had done for years. We tried to develop an image for Northwest. Often when a student reached the final years of high school, the mailbox was bombarded with as many as 2U0 mailings from various universi- ties. We wanted Northwest to be a name that was recognized. Michael Walsh, director of enroll- ment management, said. We wanted people to know about us, that we were located in state and that we treated people personally and not as numbers. The campaign, which was formed in 1 993, began airing in 1 994 and focused on four basic components. The first component in- volved the usage of television commercials aired in three ma- jor recruiting areas; St. Joseph, Mo.. Kansas City. Mo., and Omaha, Neb. There were two markets which we targeted, Gieseke said. The first included not only seniors in high .school, but also juniors, sophomores and freshmen. The second market was directed toward parents, friends, relatives and commu- nity people. We wanted to fo- cus mainly on the students and Wc wanted e to k about us, that wc . - , located in the state and that wc treated people personally and not as numbers, Michael Walsh said. we placed the commercials next to mainly teen- age television programs such as ' Martin and ' Beverly Hills 90210 . The radio was the second component, as the advertisements were aired in the same areas as the commercials, but were also aired in Des Moines, Iowa, and future plans included Lin- coln, Neb., and Jefferson City, Mo. The radio spots were basically on a lot of rock and young country stations, in which the age group of listeners were between 14-years-old and 20-years-old, ' Gieseke said. Advertisements in high school newspapers and some junior colleges also proved beneficial to the recruitment of students and raising inter- est. We tried to have a Northwest student who was a freshman or sophomore from the prospec- tive high school in the ad, Gieseke said. It hit a specific audience, and the high school students could re- late. In the ads we featured the electronic campus, student ac- tivities and the fact that our classes were taught by regular faculty and not graduate assis- tants. Videos focused on the elec- tronic campus and various ac- tivities the University offered. Walsh believed important aspects were covered during the image campaign. We raised interest in North- west and gave a personal touch, Walsh said. We wanted the students to show up and get enrolled. The most im- portant thing; we remained honest.

Photo by Laura Riedel. JUST A By Laura Riedel Every student had experienced it: nagging voices that never tjLiit, preoccupation with mind- less activity and insomnia due to quiet worry. These were not symptoms of a mental disorder but something that struck many students throughout the semester. It was procrastination. This disease did not affect students physi- cally, but it usually did affect their grades. Sometimes, a student would put off a project for so long that when they finally .started on it, they did not have time to do the project correctly. Celest Finegan, who tried to avoid studying by visiting her friends, said she was a prime example of a procrastinator. Finegan was not alone, however. Two of her friends, Jane Taggart and Rosemary Meyer, said they procrastinated all the time. We both did because there were too many things to do in the dorms, Meyer said. It was just easier to sit in my friends ' room and talk. All three said the atmosphere was much different than it was in high school. Meyer said in college the instructors did not remind them that a test was coming up like they did in high school, which made it easier to put things off. These three had different ways of procrastinating. Meyer admitted to talking on the phone when she should have been studying while her room- mate, Taggart tended to paint her fingernails. Finnegan said she did a variety of things to avoid studying. She cleaned her room, wrote letters to people she would normally not i would rather wash the kitchen floor than grade those papers and usually ended up wandering through the house for something to distract me, Dr. Litte said. ha e written to and isited friends. Procrasination affected students differently. Meyer admitted to being a procrastinator. but said her instructors could not tell because she wiirked better under stress. Dr. Bruce Litte, who taught English composi- tion classes as well as upper level English classes, supported Meyer ' s claim. Sometimes students worked well underpres- sure and pulled it off. but that v as not always the case. Litte said. Litte said he started his students on their pa- pers through stages which forced them to do them in a step-by-step process. Procrastination did not only strike students. Instructors were also prone to this afflic tion. Litte sometimes put off grading papers but he never forgot about them. Sometimes an ungraded batch of papers lin- gered on your mind and caused you to wake-up unduly in the morning and grade them, Litte said. Litte admitted that some- times, grading papers was the last thing he wanted to even think about. Sometimes, I got sick of grading papers, Litte said. I would rather wash the kitchen floor than grade those papers and usually ended up wander- ing through the house looking for something to distract me. Students had a lot to learn in college. Learning how to cope with procrastination was one of the many important les.sons they tackled, but found waiting easier in the long run.

Northwest received a bulk of the money in its budget from the state. About 6.S to 70 per- cent came from the state with the remaining coming from student fees. The rest of the money came from federal grants. People also donated money because they liked the way the campus looked and wanted to help out. Deciding where money would go meant developing a budgeting process that would comply with the wishes of the University. A budgeting process was gone through with people mak- ing their wants and wishes know n, Gose said.

Hubbard, the Board of Regents and myself dis- cussed the budget. All finali ations were done b the Board of Regents. Three percent was trimmed from the 1993 budget. The budget was decided in late .kuie, because the had to have a final or close to final tally of students w ho would be attending during the upcoming school year. When the amount of students attending was determined, the Board of Regents could decide how much money was to be allotted for u.se. Environmental Services was in charge of making sure the groimds were looking their best. They had one director and three associate direc- tors working together with Gose to make sure the money was spent v isely and put to good use. Even though the budgeting process was de- signed to help spend money wisely. Kristin Hill believed it was unecessary. 1 liked the way the flowers in fiont of the Administration Building looked. Hill said. But 1 hated to see so much money used on flowers that could have gone towards aca- demic departments for pur- chase of new materials. Hill thought the grounds looked good, but they were also a bit overdone. 1 knew the grounds needed to look good to make good impressions on visitors, but I did not think they had to be so elaborate, Hill said. Despite differences of opin- ions in how the money was spent, all students were able to enjoy the scenery provided by Environmental Services. Academics 133  r PILOTING A. m- HEAD START By Michelle Ferguson A tour-semester program was being tested to help incoming freshmen. The Pilot Program helped freshmen get a head start on their college education by relating classes. ' It connected some of my classes together like speech and composition. Cindy Mueller said. It he lped out a lot. The Pilot Program randomly .selected 120 freshmen from the fall enrollment list. Students were asked and encouraged to stay in the program on a voluntary basis, but had the option to drop the program. One of the goals for the program was to research the student ' s background to determine if it was a factor in the success of the student. Dr. Patt VanDyke, interim vice president of Aca- demic Affairs, found early in the semester that many students had already obtained college credits from high school. The program was designed to help students take classes relating to one another. Incor- porating classes such as Com- position 1 1 1 and speech was a key point to the proposed suc- cess of the Pilot Program. This was done so the instructors of each course could focus on re- lated subjects to enhance the student ' s learning process. The program was a good idea, Chris Mackey said. I planned to continue with the program. Some students who partici- pated in the program benefitted from the program by improv- ing their knowledge of current events and also by improving their study habits. 134 Pilot Program The program gave me a good chance to have i ood teachers which were usually taken the upper- classmen ' Cindy Mueller said The program gave me a chance to have good teachers which were usually taken by the upper- classmen, Mueller said. The Pilot Program coordinating committee was planning a similar program for fall 1994. Instructors liked the program because they could learn from one another and because they got to know faculty members in departments other than their own. It was a lot of fun to visit with other faculty members from other departments, Pat Lucido, chemistry instructor, said. The idea for the program was for students to stick together so they might be able to learn more from their education at Northwest. The pro- grammers thought it was a good idea, if students were in the same class they could learn more from one another. It was a lot easier to meet people because they were in the same class, Mackey said. The success of the program could not be determined after only two semesters in practice because the benefits were far reaching. It was too early to tell if the program did well, but the pro- gram did not hurt anyone, VanDyke said. VanDyke believed the pro- gram did two things. It created a small group of 120 students that got to know one another and students learned to express themselves better. VanDyke believed the pro- gram achieved a better integra- tion between participants and was an educational benefit.

THE COi -T INUING CHALLENGE By Scott Pummell Challenge and a strong sense of focus were the necessary elements a person must find in them- selves to reach the highest levels of excellence, University President Dean Hubbard said. Challenge had always been a driving factor in Hubbard ' s life, including his experiences as an innovator in the field of quality, an educator in a foreign land and as president of Northwest. After earning his bachelor ' s and master ' s de- grees from Stanford University in California, Hubbard decided to challenge himself by at- tending Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea. His studies centered around the Korean lan- guage and culture. I was more interested in learning the lan- guage than I was in getting a degree and 1 took the entire program, everything they offered, Hubbard said. After graduating from Yonsei, Hubbard again de- cided to challenge himself by starting an English language school from scratch. The institute used American college students as teachers and was similar to the Peace Corps, according to Hubbard. It wasn ' t connected with the Peace Corps, but the pro- gram was similar in that U.S. students would take a year out of their education to teach. Hubbard said. The school taught Koreans including military and govern- ment officials, students and university professors. When the school was organized, it included nearly 800 students; in the second 1 When you . jrncd some- body ?- ' lan- guage, you devel- oped a special interest in that never went :l ' n ' , President Dean Hubbard said. term, the enrollment reached 2,000. I didn ' t know that Korea was any more at- tractive than any othercountry , but I thought that was one of the values of learning a foreign language, Hubbard said. When you learned somebody else ' s language, you developed a special interest in them that never went away. Having learned their language and understand- ing their culture, you just had a special interest in that part of the world. After five years in Korea and the growing success of the language schools, Hubbard de- cided to return to pursue a doctorate. 1 will admit, when I left Korea and the lan- guage school, I was starting to get bored, Hubbard said. That was the reason that I left. I remember sitting in my office and saying that the place was working, the students were coming and going, the faculty was teaching, things were going smooth but the challenge was gone. It was time to move on. It was the same aspect of challenge that contributed to Hubbard ' s longevity as presi- dent of Northwest. The damage caused to uni- versities from the short terms of presidents stems from con- straints in time, Hubbard said. When a president was only in office for a short time, they barely had the opportunity to hit a stride and were never really settled in. I ' d rather be in one school that really stands out, that survived with significance, that becomes a leader in the -continued President Hubbard illustrates a handmade piece of Eastern European crystal.

It consistency and qualits at the head administrator ' s position was a key to a university ' s performance, then it could explain much of Northwest ' s improvements over tlie past decade. On average, most university presi- dents lasted only about five years at each school, but I lubbard had just completed his 1 Oth year as Northwest ' s president. The position was not always an enjoyable experience and this could explain part of the turnover, Hubbard said. I had a board member ask me one time how I liked it and I said 85 percent of the time I love it. 10 percent of the time I tolerate it and .5 percent of the time I detest it, Hubbard said. He said that was about the same as his job. Would I do it again? Absolutely and with no hesitation. Since Hubbard took over as Northwest ' s ninth president, he dedicated himself and the University to a system of con- tinuous improvement through constant self-evaluation. The philosophies he had re- lied upon and helped develop were the central principles that evolved into the theories of Total Quality Management and the Malcolm Baldrige Na- tional Quality Award. Hubbard was first intro- duced to practices of quality in management by his wife when he was the president of Union College in Lincoln, Neb. I had a board mcMTibcr me one time how I It and I said 85 percent of the time I it. 10 percent of the time I tolerate it 5 percent of :. time detest it Hubbard said .She invited the directoi ol quality at Honeywell Corp., Jose Tories, to come talk to her administrative people about quality and about how to manage quality, Hubbard said. I v as intrigued. I thought to myself that ue could learn something from this in education. Hubbard further explored the matter by invit- ing Tories to do a workshop on quality at Union College. Tories afterward suggested that Hubbard continue his interest in TQM by going through an institute in Colorado that focused solely on the principle. We had remarkable success, so when I came to Northwest in 1984, 1 brought experience and a strong conviction that this was what we should be doing, Hubbard said. Since Hubbard had implemented Northwest ' s version of the TQM, the Culture of Quality, he believed it was the most advanced institution of its kind in relation to the system. There was no question that we were leading the nation in that particular dimension, Hubbard said. Hubbard said the programs implemented along these lines had greatly improved North- west, but the University should always strive for improve- ment. Quality was a receding horizon, Hubbard said. You never arrived. It ' s always there, drawing on. A dedication to constant improvement helped provide him with the necessary focus to accomplish goals and provide organization. Academics 139 YEAR t r REFLECTION By Tower Staff Cabinet members faced issues ranging from disputes over faculty fees to a proposal for a consensual dating policy, while trying to im- prove with key indicators from the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. While most universities saw enrollment drop drastically, Northwest suffered only a slight loss. Annelle Weymuth. executive assistant to the president, said this was a promising sign. She noted that Northwest saw only a 1 percent de- crease while other universities saw enrollment drop as much as 6 percent. Weymuth saw changes such as elevators. parking lots and handicap accessibility a posi- tive aspect of Northwest. We had such pockets of excellence, Weymuth said. I was impressed with some of the great ideas. It was simply an exciting place to work. Although the proposal was not final. Chuck Veatch. direc- tor of development alumni, ad- vised for discretion concerning consensual dating between faculty and students. Discretion should be used in any relationship, Veatch said. Certainly there probably needed to be a higher level of discretion relative to a member of faculty dating someone of the community as opposed to a member of the faculty dating a student. Along with Weymuth. Veatch also viewed the Student Recreation Center as a plus to the University. Veatch said the faculty should pay for use of the Student Recreation Center Everyone should pay to use facility, Chuck Veatch said. I would feel very uncomfortable using the facility rieht with- out paying because the students paid for its construction. Everyone should pay to use the facility, Veatch said. 1 would feel very uncomfortable using the facility right now without paying. Dean of Students Dr. Deni.se Ottinger. also supported the fee. 1 was all for it, having worked through it with ( Student Senate), Ottinger said. It looked hope- less that we were going to get any funding, as a result those renovations were paid for by student money. The most impoilant issue the University had to face in Ottinger ' s opinion was the racially related incident that occurred at The World Famous Outback. A scuffle between an African-Ameri- can customer and a Caucasian bartender resulted in a protest. There was a lot more we needed to do about dealing with differences, Ottinger said. Dr. Patt VanDyke. interim vice president for Academic Affairs, found not basing enough time a problem. Absence of time for reflec- tive thinking, VanDyke said. My schedule wasjust horrific. If I got interested in some topic the bell would ring. Time was just something one had to deal with in a job like this. VanDyke had a good feeling about the year. I did feel some sense of ac- complishment, VanDyke said. I was also helped by a marvelous office staff that knew what was going on. Ev- erybody wanted to succeed. — continued .Annelle Weymuth addresses sexual harass- ment between faculty and students.

Dr. Robert Bush, vice president direclor of Applied Research, said the Culture of Quality would be the future of Northwest. We saw our whole Culture of Quality as a very dynamic idea, Bush said. That was going to determine our market niche. Bush saw the challenges as positive. Our major function was change, Bush said. Trouble and difficulties were really opportuni- ties. Bush was as excited about the new Student Recreation Center as Wey muth and Veatch. The facility was viewed as a plus to the University. The variety of activities and the whole atmo- .sphere was wonderful, Bush said. They tried to make it comfortable for everyone who used it. The whole thing was overwhelming. As a liaison between the president and depart- ment of athletics Bob Henry. public relations officer, was di- rectly affected with the dis- missal of Harold Bud Elliott, head football coach, and the resignation of the athletic di- rector. These personnel changes were a significant part of Henry ' s year. Henry and other cabinet members also faced the chal- lenge of implementing styles included in criteria of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.

Working with the city on several issues including the recycling program, meant slaying in close con- tact with community issues. We needed to work closely and coopera- tively with the city, Henry said. .So I hoped they would be able to work through their person- nel changes as rapidly as possible, so that kind of change would not slow the cooperative pro- cess. Vice President of Finance, Warren Gose was also concerned with issues affecting Northwest. He paid close attention to the financial side of government issues such as recommendations for lottery, the riverboat issue and the general obli- gation bond. Should any or part of that come to pass I thought we would have some construction on the campus that we had not had in a long time from state funds. Gose said. Renovations to Lamkin Gym and Roberta Hall con- sumed time. Gose was also challenged with understanding the Culture of Quality. Work on continuance im- provement of University (was a challenge) to my area as well as all facets of University, Gose said. Despite a critical beginning with flood problems, Gose did not see any majorcontroversial problems or issues. Overall he, along with other cabinet mem- bers, believed it was a good year.

Through ihc cumbined work ot rL-prescnlu- ti ' es at Northwest and Eastern F.iiropean iini er- sities. an exehange program was organized and went uito eftect during the tail 1993 semester. Five Northwest students s ' olimteered for the pilot program which consisted of studying and residing at the University of ()stra a in the Czech Republic. During the first seven weeks of their stay, students endured intensive language study for se en hours each day. When finished, they be- gan regular semester classes at the University. The students never had the language before, Dr. Richard Frucht said. They did great and were very impressive. They talked to many people and were somew hat like celebrities as the newspapers in the community of . ' . ' SO.OOn cov- ered their stay. The adventure was an educational and cul- tural experience for students. Just the thought of travel- ling abroad, experiencing and seeing a different culture was great, Andrea Berthelsen said. And being able to stay over there for that length of time was a lot better opportu- nity than only a week or so. The Czech Republic had been in the midst of change during past years. The opportunity itself was honestly not something one could actually turn down, Robert Schneider said. And the fact that the Czech Repub- lic was an ex-Soviet block and being able to witness the re- building was an interesting perspective to a historian. Learning how to things was very hard, Robert Schneider said. But it gave me abihty to adapt to I later on in life and gave me the skills 1 needed. Studying was not the only activity students engaged in while in Europe. The most memorable thing tt me beside studying was traveling to Europe on the week- ends, Schneider said. As the 1994 spring semester began, five stu- dents from the University of Ostrava along with five students from the Technical University of Mining and Metallurgy in the Czech Republic arrived at Northwest. The Czech students commented on the ex- treme differences in dormitt)ry lite. At our school we did not have trouble with alcohol. Jiri Stiskal said. We had a bar in our Student Hall. It was a small college, one house for 600 people. In the first tloor lived boys and in the second and third lived girls. Boys and girls only lived together in some rooms. It was not a problem. Our rooms were very similar to dorms here. Classes at the Universities differed from Northwest. We had two sections, one was lecture and the other was tutorial, Pavel Kovar said. We saw overheads and pic- tures in our lectures and in our tutorials we used what we learned. It depended on the classes, some were just lecture and some were only tutorials. Experiencing another cul- ture was something which was an invaluable experience. Learning how to deal with things was very hard, Schneider said. But it gave me the ability to adapt to things later on in life and it gave me the skills I needed.

I enjoyed working with the stu- dents and issues they had. Webster was previously employed at the Tulsa Boys Home in Tulsa, Okla., but found the work at Northwest more enjoyable. It was nice working with college students going through changes, Webster said. The Center ' s purpose was to ser e the student body by helping them adjust to college life. Jan Cosgrove, counselor, found this to be a rewarding aspect. My work was enjoyable. Cosgrove said. It was fun to watch people grow and feel better about themseKes. Dealing with life changes and also personal growth in order to become independent adults kept the Center busy. The full-time professional staff individually saw 20 to 22 clients a week. Liz Wood said. Usually we saw. indi idually or in groups, approximately 400 to . ' iOO students per year. .Another tactic used to help cut dov n on over-scheduling was referring students to other resources. They worked with the Talent Development Cen- ter and social workers. The professional stafl individuully 20 to 22 clients a week, Liz Wood said. we saw, individually or ' ' ■ ' . groups, ap- proximately 400 to 500 students year. However busy the Center might iia c been, they did not turn anyone away. L epemlmg upon the case they and the student would decide whether he or she should have been referred to another resource for help. It depended a whole lot on w hat the particular issue was, Wood said. If it was a sim ple direct problem that someone else could handle we would send them there or if it was a complex problem we would refer them to someone who was available 12 months a year. The counselors at the Center would often refer students vMth more serious problems elsewhere simply because the facilities could not he available all year long. With the training we had we could deal with a lot ot long term issues like personality disorders. Wood said. But our facilities were not capable because we were only open nine months a year. Counselors donated extra time to support those in need of advice. The Center saw groups after hours for family related difficulties to help combat heavy scheduling. They were therapy groups opposed to support groups and usually had six to eight stu- deiiis 111 them. Wood said. Usually there had been some type of family abuse that the students could specify to be in the group. The Counseling Center helped students in college to deal with problems that arose during the years before gradu- ation and was viewed as a valu- able resource.

By Stacy Clevcrlcy The iotig awaited ictory. the risins: anlicipa- tioti and the sweat that sat uptin the hrow, those were the characteristics in the iiiind of coaches e ery tune they w mild step foot on the court, the field or the track. There were many majors available at North- west, but one few people took time to explore was physical education. The real question was: what did it take to become a coach? Most people looked at coaching as sotnething very simple, but not in the eyes of Jim Johnson, head baseball coach. ■■| had to be tlexible and patient. Johnson said. Everyday something new happened. There were many things a coach had to be aware of in his everyday practice most people were not aware ot. I had to be a good communicator, Head Basketball Coach Steve Tappmeyer said. If there were F students in class, as a teacher it may have been thought it was their problem. but I learned that w hen I was a coach as well, you had to get the point across to thetn whether they were A students or F students. My job depended on it. An itnportant factor when planning a career in physical education was to de elop good comtnunication and motiva- tional skills. A coach was only as good as the players he had, Tappmeyer said. When I saw a team come from borderline bad to pretty good, it was a pretty good feeling. There were many different When 1 saw a team of kids from , whether they were successful part of my goals com- pleted, Storm said. reasons a student chose a career in coaching. It may have stemmed from a favorite sport, possi- bly a favorite coach or a person that helped to influence others. I was always involved in sports. Brian Storm said. I really wanted to give something back to the youngergeneration. I wanted to teach ihein about sports. Students on the Northwest campus found many different classes and studies to complete their physical education major. Sotne of these included: the education core, athletic training, physiology of exercise, anatomy courses and kinesiology classes. There were also many ideas in each individuals mind as a coach. It took a dedicated person to do the Job, Nikki Turner said. Patience was also important in any job that dealt with people. Coaching football, basketball or baseball teams required a sense ofcontrol over emotions. I had to be patient and I had to be a good communicator, Storm said. I had to be tough, but fair. The last part of coaching was to set realistic goals. Goals played an important role and were needed to get through the coaching profession. When I saw a team of kids learn something from me, whether they were successful or not, a part of my goals were completed, Storm said. The advice that head coaches at Northwest left for those interested in becoming coaches was experience and connections.

Karl Jung argued people learned from the environment. Many sociology and psy- chology students found experience while com- pleting internships. Students filled out applications in the sociol- ogy and psychology department then, if ac- cepted, chose where they wanted to go from a provided list. After interviews with the supervi- sor of their chosen facility, the student com- pleted 1 20 hours of service. .Sandra Marr worked at the probation and parole office, working wit h officers, conducting client interviews and even doing home visits. It was very interesting, Marr said. I did a lot of different things. Everything the officer did had to be recorded so I did that as well. Dean Pierson, Marr ' s supervisor, was im- pres.sed with her performance. It was great having her around, Pierson said. She was always on time and she wanted to work. I appreciated interns who wanted to work. Jennifer Karg interned in the St. Francis Behavioral Medical Center. Like Marr, the intern- ship gave her experience in the field she was studying. 1 wanted to get my master ' s in social work, Karg said. Eventually, 1 would have liked to work with women who had been battered, who had low self esteem and were overly dependent on another person. Karg had many duties in her internship. I went to the department twice a week, Karg said. 1 It WLis a wonderful experience Jennifer Karg said. It was i lot dif ' ' from what was in the books. read patient ' s files then afterwards, 1 ale lunch with them. I did one-on-one interviews and obser ed the techniques of the staff. I usually got to do anything they were doing. Although she worked full-time and took 19 hours of classes, Karg enjoyed the experience. It was a wiinderful experience, Karg said. It was a lot different from what was in the book. I had learned what a paranoid schizophrenic was but it was different actually working with one. It really woke me up to what it was like. One student who did not benefit from the intern program was Dave Benson. Benson wanted to intern for Public Safety or the sheriff department. Because of scheduling, he took a job at the high school. Among Benson ' s duties were figuring up stu- dent grades and ranks. It was nothing I would have done if I did not have to, Benson said. It was a different area than the one I was going into. Still, according to Wayne Vanzomeran, adviser of the program, the internships were a success. Some of the students ended up with a job, Vanzomeran said. Others made contacts that led tojobs. Some found the area they had focused on was not the area they wanted to pursue. For others, it opened their eyes to potential possibilities they had not real- ized. What they got out of it depended a lot on the student. Throwing out the books, stu- dents found the answers through experience. Academics 151 TRAINING PHASES OUT By Lance Dorrel and Sara Meyers The Reserve OtTieer Training Corps program had been a part of Northwest since the late 1970s, but on Wednesday, Jan. 19, the Board of Regents finalized plans to phase out the ROTC program. The program would officially become extinct after the 1995 spring semester. The primary reason was lack of student interest. ■ The decline in the number of students served indicated ROTC was no longer meeting our students interests and needs, Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Patt VanDyke said. There were 1 15 students involved in ROTC courses during the spring semester. These students would be accommodated in the University ' s plan. The University had the option to make (the program) an extension with Mo. West being the base, ' John Bankson, ROTC member, said. ' There would have just been fewer instructors here then, but they felt it was best to close it down. We really had no say in it. The required courses would continue to be offered to those students who needed them, but new students would not be allowed tojoin the ROTC pro- gram. 1 was going to join the ROTC program since I had been in the Army before I came to school, Tim Westfall said. I was really looking for- ward to it.

No one was really offended with the program being closed. Bankson said. Everyone was compensated for, so there were no hard feel- ings. Students involved in the ROTC program ex- pressed their disbelief in the programs cancellation. It was a shame: the ROTC program at North- west had always supplied the U.S. Army with quality officers, J.C. Speary said. It was just a shame such a good program had to be thrown by the wayside. Anybody who wanted to be an active duty officer who had graduated from Northwest had had the opportunity. Bankson felt no real pressure from the pro- gram becoming extinct be- cause he was a junior when the decision was made. Unlike some of the younger members of the ROTC program, he would not have to double up on classwork to complete his degree. The program would not be completely gone until May of 1995, Bankson said. I would be completed with the program by then. Northwest s decision to phase out the ROTC program not only affected the remaining 1 1 5 students in the program but also any prospective students who wanted tojoin Northwest by means of the ROTC program through their high school.

This could have been achieved through internships, but also another way to prosper with hands-on expe- rience was provided in various academic depart- ments. One department that helped students gain the important experience was the geography geol- ogy department. A sub-division of this depart- ment was the Geo-Technical Services which ran a mapping service for Northwest allowing stu- dents to access utilities. Geo-Technical Services was an extension of the geography undergraduate program estab- lished in 1985. It was developed to provide students with computer cartography and Geo- graphical Information Systems, GIS, knowl- edge and experience. The Geo-Technical Services also helped Northwest to pay for equipment and materials needed to update the depart- ment. It enabled the University to purchase mstructional equip- ment in the technical geogra- phy classes, Dr. Don Hagan, professor of geology geogra- phy, said. It was a vehicle which provided students real world experience which gave them a competive edge in the career marketplace. New technology the Univer- sity had incorporated into this program included the GIS. The GIS was a complex system of maps and databases, which mostly consisted of the build- ings on campus. It was a vehicle which provided student real or!d experience which gave them a competitive edge in the ca- reer market- phice. Dr. Don Hagan This technology made the field of geography much more than just map-making. Angela Boudreau became interested in the GIS after a demonstration that Steve Fox, assis- tant director of Geo-Technical services, gave in her cartography class. 1 had cartography and Steve showed us a demonstration, Bourdreau said. He got me interested in the GIS with all it could do. Macintosh computers and new software pro- grams had replaced the old pen and paper the cartography classes used only 10 years ago. Boudreau explained how the GIS was hooked up to a database of all the campus buildings. All one had to do was to click on the name of a building on campus and the computer would come up w ' nh a digitalized tloor plan of that structure. The GIS also helped other departments on campus. Environmental Ser- vice employees used the pro- gram to keep records on grounds work they had done. Employees that took care of the tlower beds and trees uti- lized the system frequently. The grounds men worked with the system a lot, Boudreau said. They could tell how much fertilizer was used and where. Technological advancement allowed Northwest to rank No. 2 in the top 20 most effective geography programs in the United States. Working with the new tech- nology helped students to gain the hands-on experience of a college education. 4 154 Geo-Technical Services Angela Boiidreau works on the (Jco- l ' chnicnl System at (iarri ' tl Stronj;.

Academics 155 PRACTICE AND MOTIVATION LEAD TO SUCCESS By Stacy Cleverley Mum was definitely not the word in the Speech Department. The forensics team, headed by Dr. John Rude, Jeff Pryzbylo and Nathan Pruett showed hard work and practice did pay off. With the theater experience of Rude and over 10 years of experience Pryzbylo had, the team had a strong base for learning. There were only two upperclassmen, there- fore the team felt confident in knowing they would have room for improvement in the years to come, Rude said. Rude also thought the team was willing to work and they wanted to win. Bradley, Hastings and Kansas State were just a few of the schools Northwest left a mark on. When they went up against these top schools they saw what true excellence was and just what it would take to get there, Rude said. He believ ed the team hadjust enough successes to have a taste of being close to the top. He was also assured they knew what they had to do to win. Many students on the team could sense the change they had been looking for. The youthful team had a positive energy and motivation that was not there before, Al Atkins said. It was something we needed as a team. The positive attitude reached out to Jim Ulvestad as well. Ulvestad took home a I st place in the individual program in oral interpretation at the Weslyn Weasel Invitational Tour in Nebraska. It was the first time I had won 1st place, Ulvestad said. itic youthful team had a positive en- ergy and moti- vation that was not ' :heriw before, Al Atkins was something we team. I owe a lot to all of my teammates and coaches for the support they gave to me. The attitude totally turned around from last year. Mary Moore thought the team had improved. We had a really good team, Moore said. We acted like a team with support and encour- agement. Every group involved as a team had strengths and weaknesses. The forensics team saw more strengths than weaknesses this time. ■ We were constantly aware that grades came first, Rude said. But the work effort in foren- sics needed to be improved as well. The winning attitude had to carry over into studies. ' Our team was just like any, it took practice, Rude said. Without it a band could not play a song and a drama team could not do a play. They were all learning. The competition that left a lasting impression was the Mid-American Forensic Leagues in Northern Iowa. Northwest walked away with a 3rd place win for the first time in four years. This had been the best first semester I had ever had, Atkins said. I hoped to go to finals in five events. It would be the first time in the last six years. The students anticipation continued to rise as they pre- pared for finals and nationals. As for Atkins, Ulvestad, Moore and the rest of the team, they hoped Northwest would accomplish their goal of a na- tional championship. a Mary Moore and Al Atkins portray a husband and wife in War of the Roses.

In the lab series sponsored by the theater department, two senior theater majors younger than these men got a chance to prove their mettle directing when Michelle Ough directed Post- poning the Heal Death of the Universe and Connie Juranek directed If It Don ' t Hurt, It Ain ' t Love. ' The plays were produced by the University Players as an outlet for any students who wanted to direct. The student had to get approval from the department. The University Players paid for props and staff were paid and royalties and programs were paid for by the department. Allison Mizerski found acting under a peer an enjoyable experience. 1 really liked Michelle, Mizerski said. We had a good time and she was a really good director. She was professional, but she knew how to work and have fun at the same time. One audience member en- joyed the play, finding humor in the serious situations. It was very funny, Kathleen Byre said. I liked the part where they were lying in bed, both postponing en- tropy. Juranek learned a lot from her experience as director. It was very interesting. Juranek said. It was a chal- lenge. There was a whole co- operation of people I had to work with including the set designer, the master electri- ii It challenge, ' Connie Juranek said There a whole cooperation oi people 1 had to work with. cian and sound engineer. J uranek found it difficult to gel the actors to do the parts accoaluig to her v ision. It was hard trying to get the actors to relay the message 1 wanted. Juranek said. It could ha e gone many different ways. We experimented and tried several different possibilities before coming to one that worked. ' Chet Hardin, who was in Juranek ' s play, found the experience of working under a friend interesting. ■ I knew Connie for four years so it was really weird. Hardin said. We would talk on one level sometimes. It made for a certain positive energy because when peers directed me. they were not as sure of their art. Following the productions, refreshments were serv ed and a discussion of the performance was held. Audience members were encouraged to talk about what they liked and disliked about the produc- tion from the set to the actors to the lighting. One subject of dis- cussion was the placement ot the audience in chairs on stage rather than off. Set designer Jeff Johnston thought it added to the intimacy. By putting the audience on stage, it made the s how more intimate, Johnston said. It broke down some of the barri- ers so the audience could iden- tify with the characters more. Showcasing a cast of ready actors and two able directors, the lab series proved to be a crucial testing ground for stu- dents hoping to make it to the Great White Way. a Academics 159 160 Computer Science I VISION ■I Wi COMPUTER GRAPHICS Tina Kktermanis works on her computer graphics assignment with the help of her reader Phil Stiens. Because she was blind. Ektermanis relied on her mind to visualize the graphics. Photo by Russ Wevdert. By Amanda McManigal Computers were a large part of students lives at Northwest. The use of computers were often taken for granted by students because of the computers in every residence hall room and numerous computer labs across campus. Even with this access to computers, one stu- dent found it difficult to locate a computer to fit her needs. Tina Ektermanis, a blind student. chose computer science as her major and faced a few challenges while taking her required com- puter graphics class. Students in computer graphics learned how computers produced graphic images and the different algorithms or calculations that were used to produce these images. Prior to taking the class Ektermanis was very nervous and was not sure on how successfully she would be able to perform in class. I knew that I had to take this class since it was a requirement, Ektermanis said. I thought to myself Oh my God! Actually the class was a lot better than I thought it was going to be, mainly be- cause we were dealing with al- gorithms. ' Since Ektermanis was blind, she relied on her mind to help her create the pictures. Ektermanis could get a concept of what an object looked like in her head by feeling it, but for her to visualize the object three dimensionally was difficult. I could imagine what to pro- duce on the screen and the pic- ture, Ektermanis said. But to visualize the whole picture in 3-D then to make it 2-D was a challenge. It was no real problem work- ing with Tina, Phil Stiens said. She a really good concept of what pic- ture would look like in hci head. Since some of the concepts ol ihe program created a problem for Ektermanis she worked with her reader Phil Stiens. Ektermanis had asked her instructor. Dr. Gaiy McDonald for someone to help with the class. Stiens had previously taken the class and knew what computer graphics Ektermanis was trying to create. Ektermanis would write most of the program then Stiens would help her finish the program on the computer. After all the errors had been cor- rected they would run the program. Ektermanis said the program normally did not run success- fully the first time. We would run it once and it usually would not work right the first time. Ektermanis said. Ektermanis relied on Stiens to tell her what he saw after the program had been ran. There never were any real complications be- tween the two. It was no real problem wiirking with Tina, Stiens said. She had a really good concept of what the picture would look like in her head. McDonald thought Ektermanis had done ex- tremely well in the computer science program despite her handicap. Tina was one of the top stu- dents in the department, ' McDonald said. It also had been a lot of fun working with her. ' Even though Ektermanis was blind, she had found a way to successfully complete the required computer graphics course for her major. Academics 161 ' mSTE OF THE REAL WORLD By Ruby Dittmer Dealing with business in tine real world, Northwest students advised local, small busi- ness owners. This class was not like your typical class- room situation where you did the assignments and took tests, John Baker, associate professor of accounting, said. This was risk taking be- cause students in this class worked with real small businesses, they developed a plan for them and then executed it. this was the real world. During the Organizational Policy and D eci- sion Making class in the fall semester, students were assigned a business to advise. The business owner and students met often to discuss financial concerns advertising dilemmas and other prob- lems that the business might have had. It just depended on what problems we were working on as to how often we met with the business we advised, Dena Mathias said. Students then wrote reports about what progress had been made. The program also built good relationships between North- west and the Maryville com- munity. By helping out the small businesses. Northwest gave back something to the commu- nity, Baker said. Stitches in Time was one of two businesses who used this program. Melody Blair, owner, liked having students help her. 1 was so glad to have their input, especially because they were college students, Blair said. They were a big help because they had a college class was not your typical classroom situation where you the assignments and took tests... this was the real world, Baker said. viewpoint on advertising. They helped me de- sign advertisements for Homecoming to hang in the residence halls on campus. Students who took the course were divided into six groups, each group was then assigned a business to advise for the semester. Mathias, one of the students who advised Blair, enjoyed the class. By taking this class, I got into real world applications, Mathias said. Advising Melody was good practice for me, I would not have gotten the opportunity to advise a business until after graduation, had it not been for this class. Suresh Kumar, who also advised Blair, was responsible for details on moving Stitches in Time to its new location two miles east of Maryville on First Street. I had to find the most economical way to make the move, Kumar said. The experience I received from this was valu- able because I had learned what most would learn during their first job. Both Blair and the students involved agreed that the most significant aspect of the pro- gram was the hands-on training that students received while they advised their perspective clients. This was a great way stu- dents practiced what they had been taught, Blair said. Taking risks, students dis- covered was a part of the real business world. That was what made the Organizational Policy and Decision Making class different from other busi- ness classes. u i Suresh Kumar and Dena Mathias advise Stitches in Time owner Melody Blair.

On the faces of some candidates was a look of rehef and hope for the future. The ceremony lasted just over an hour and went smoothly, a contrast to years past. Execu- tive Assistant Anncile Weymuth, who headed the graduation coinmiltee. believed it was due to careful preparation. We did some very definite planning, Weymuth said. Before, the ceremonies were too long. The president wanted to shorten it, so we began planning in January. In previous years, many graduates left after they received their diplomas so plans were made to alleviate the problem. If people could see that it would be a short ceremony and that things were running smoothly, they would stay. Weymuth said. Our objective was to keep things short. The graduates were seated prior to the ceremony, a con- trast to years past. The invoca- tion and benediction were omitted because of a 92 ruling by the Missouri Supreme Court that made the practices op- tional. Also, the speakers were limited to how long they could talk and graduates seemed to appreciate the changes. I thought it was better, Teresa Mattson said. Parents and family members were there to see their son or dauah- I was more assured than mail of those I was sitting among, Teresa Mattson said. I didn ' t S![ there and feel scared. ter graduate. They just wanted to see their child and get out of there. Mattson was actually applying her education at the graduation ceremony. As she sat waiting for her name to be called, her hands were busy typing an article for the St. Joseph News Press on her lap-top computer. I was just an intern so it wasn ' t like a job in the bag, Mattson said. I was more assured than many of those I was sitting among. I knew many people who were still waiting tables after gradu- ation. I was working in my field and I was self assured. I didn ' t sit there and feel scared. Dr. Robert Culbertson, vice president for aca- demic affairs, presented candidates with their diplomas. The special commencement address was given by United States Congresswoman Pat Danner of Missouri ' s 6th Dis- trict. Danner quoted some no- table Americans who shared their view for the future of the college graduate. You can be anything you want to be, Danner quoted U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno. You must be account- able for your own actions. Your family will be important while trying to accomplish all that you set out to do.

Despite the lack of practice, the season got off to a great start as the ' Cats won six of their first eight games in the Spring Fling Classic at the University of West I ' lorida. During the tournament. Rhonda Eustice tied the school single-game record offour hits. The Cats easily w on the first tournament game with a score of 10-4 and went on to beat five other teams. With the best start since 1976, the team ended the season with a 14-16 record. The ' Cats did not fare so well in the MIAA North Division Softball Round Robin Tournament. The sec- ond game of the tournament was close, but the Cats lost 3-2 to Emporia State. Eustice had an RBI single and Natalie Lesko had a triple for an RBI, tieing up the game in the third inning, Emporia State wound up breaking it with a single run. The next tournament was the MIAA North Di ' ision, w here the Cats struggled against odds to e nd play with a 2-8 record. Everything came down to the last week- end when they played four games in one day. I was very pleased with our performance, consider- ing the disadvantages we were up against, Coach Gay la Eckhoff said. The players were asked to do the impossible thing of playing so many games and having the whole season come down to that one weekend. A highlight of the season was when the Cats tri- umphed over Benedictine College 5-0. During the game AmberCremeens stole three bases, a single game record, while Shannon Armstrong had four hits in a single game, a feat she also accomplished in 91. Accomplishing this feat twice made Armstrong the first Cat to have done so twice in a career. As a young team, talent outweighed inexperience as many of the new players filled in gaps the team needed. We were a little team and the younger girls were getting the job done, Molly Mercer said. Despite rain and inexperience, the Cats went on to have a good season, coming close to a .500 average.

This was Chop ' s first time as a head coach and he led the team to a 9-1 8 overall record and 3-8 MIAA record. I enjoyed the experience, Chor said. I learned a lot of what to do and what not to do. After transferring to North- west from North Arkansas Community College, Chor was a starting outfielder for the ' Cats during the ' 88 and ' 89 seasons. During Chor ' s first season, he batted .277, had 26 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. During the ' 91 and ' 92 sea- sons, Chor acted as the graduate assistant for the team. During the time he was an assistant, he studied for his master ' s in health and physical education. Chor wanted to use his master ' s to teach at the University level and coach baseball.

The lack of on- field practice contributed to the Bearcat ' s low scoring season. It was a year of bad luck. Interim Coach Steve Chor said. We probably would have been a better team if we would have practiced more outside. Chor said the lack of outside practice time doomed the team defensively and that proved to be the Cat ' s downfall all season. The baseball team had a 3-8 MIAA record and 9- 1 8 oserall record. They ranked 1 1th in the conference in overall fielding statistics and posted a .916 fielding percentage committing 86 errors. The players were aware of the statistics and were quick to put the season behind them. I tried not to think about the season much, Tom Huffington said. We had more talent than the record showed, but we were not able to come together as a team. Some days we had good hitting and others we had the defense and no hitting. Despite a losing record, the season highlights were indi idual accomplishments. Outfielder Blake Watson earned a spot on All-Conference Second Team along with All-North Division honors. Watson led the Cats in batting averages with a .41.3 average. ■ He had a great year and he deserved it, Brian Davis said. It was probably one of the only hig h points of our season. ' Pitcher Darren Graham also brought in hi)nors when he was named MIAA player of the week for throwing a four-hitter during a lO-inning game against Central Missouri State. Graham ' s pitching helped the Cats secure a 2- 1 win. After losing to the Mules 13-12 and 26-5 earlier in the season, the win was a welcome comeback. Graham finished the season with a 7.88 average strikeouts per nine-inning game and ranked 6th in the MIAA Conference in strikeouts. Although rain and bad luck contributed to the team ' s poor performance, individual accomplishments were a ray of light. Players set personal goals and meet accomplish- ments Sports 171 Julie Caputo Lucy Caputo f Ithough most sisters had their share of yell- ing matches, Julie and Lucy Caputo found their best matches on the tennis court. Julie finished the season with 22 wins and one loss and Lucy finished with 20 wins and three losses. Being MIAA champions in singles and doubles capped the year. There was competition on the court because Julie was only one year older than Lucy. We were competitive be- cause we were so close in age, Julie said. We were always striving to be the best. The sisters found playing on the same team had its advan- tages. We knew each other so well, Julie said. I could tell by her body motions if something was wrong and could be there for support.

The Bearcats placed 19th in the nation and finished the season with a 1 7-4 overall record. Coach Mark Rosewell attributed ihe team ' s success to competition and togetherness. The team was really together as far as supporting each other, Rosewell said. We played against excel- lent competi tion and performed well. Wet weather presented a problem tor the Cats, but the facilities at Lamkin Gym helped out. We were fortunate to have the two courts at Lamkin Gym, Rosewell said. We were able to play indoors and didn ' t lose very many of our matches. The team ' s No. 1 player, Julie Callahan, broke the team win record with her 73rd singles w in, breaking a record of 72 wins made in ' 92. With four players winning 20 of the 2S matches, talent was present throughout the team. Singles and doubles were both very good, Andrea Schneider hits a backhand lo her opponent.

I felt we had a pretty good structured program and everything just seemed to work well. Losing only one game, the men ' s tennis team aced the regular season but faulted during conference, end- ing the year with a 12-9 shov ing. We defeated e ' ery team except Southwest Baptist Unisersity during the regular season, but had tough matches in every flight ot the tournament, Bill Bobo said. Indi idual standouts included Eduardo Poitillo and Mark Ardizzone. who played No. 1 and No. 2 singles. Ardi one also receised the Sportsman Award at the MIAA Conference Tournament. Another standout was Bobo ' s efforts in the No. 6 singles spot. Bobo went undefeated during the confer- ence with his only loss in the match against Southwest Baptist. We had high expectations for our team, Rosewell said. We were nationally ranked three out of the past five years and it was hard to live up to that pressure. Sports 173 Mark Roberts he men ' s track team had a diffi- cult season, but one player ex- celled in competition above the rest. Mark Roberts fin- ished in 1st place at the MIAA Outdoor Champion- ships in the 1,500 meter with a time of 3:57.44. Although Roberts was only a sophomore, he was al- ready making a name for himself. Roberts was the only Northwest 1 st place finisher at the Missouri Southern Crossroads Invitational, win- ning the 3,000 meter steeplechase in 9:45.2. Roberts had great hope for the goals he set. My goal had been to qualify for the nationals, Roberts said. The potential was there. I just had to work on it harder. With a great season be- hind him, Roberts had the goal firmly in his grasp. Off the Track CLAIMI G VICTORY Bearcats take on challenges with teamwork and talent By Elizabeth Brown and Kim Todd The men ' s track team claimed victory in the indoor season, but fell behind placing 4th at the MIAA Outdoor Conference Champion- ship. Coach Richard Alsup believed the enthusiasm for the first confer- ence meet had to do with personnel. During the fall, we had a great feeling about the personnel we had, Alsup said. They were ex- cited about challenging for the in- door and outdoor titles. Two team members qualified for the NCAA Division II Track and Field Tournament. Justin Sleath ' s 400-meter time of 47.65 was the fastest time in that event by a Northwest athlete since 83. Chris Blondin provisionally qualified in the 800 meters in 1:51.67.

Mitch Dosland placed 3rd in the long jump with 23 feet and the high jump with 6-4 3 4. The ' Cats finished 3rd out of 12 in the Northwest Invitational. Sleath clocked 48.6 in the 400 meter for a 1st place finish. This solid placing was a highlight in a season of solid teamwork. The women ' s track team boasted a strong team rather than being dominated by one key member as it had been in years past. The ' Cats competed in nine invi- tational meets and the NCAA Divi- sion II Championships during their outdoor season with several ' Cats placing well in their events. Meaghan Wilson captured the heptathalon with a final total of 4,440 points. Carrie Wood finished 5th in the heptathlon with 3,386 points. Anne Northup was 4th in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:06.33. The ' Cats attributed their success to their ability in teamwork. We really worked hard in prac- tice and stuck together, Renee Stains said. We were all really close and became good friends. I thought the togetherness showed. Terri Gillispie, Nancy Huppert, Melissa Smith and Wood all re- ceived awards for All-Conference Academics. We were a young team and ranked high in all the meets. Smith said. It showed the talent and hard work of the team. Everyone gave their all. With such high rankings in events, the team strove to have a season of high points. Some credit went to Coach Charlene Cline. She made us work hard, Stains said. We had the potential and she worked to make us get the most out of the talent that was there. Showing spirit as a team and tal- ent for the game, the women ' s track team enjoyed a victorious season. 174 Track Jaysin Horn strives to f;aiii a Jew more ineliesjrom his leap diiriiif; the long jump.

For two-sport athletes at Northwest, playing more than one sport could not be construed as a hobby. Athletes had to be students first and they had to take their sports, as well as their studies, seriously. It created a challenge, because I could not be an ordinary student, David Roper, a football and base- ball player, said. There was so much on the line, so I had to get used to the pressure. But I liked challenges and I liked facing up to them. Roper ' s biggest goal was not excelling on the field, but getting his degree in pre-med. Attending school and playing sports never created a dilemma for him. I had been balancing different things all my life, Roper said. I always had something to do. The main thing was spending my time wisely. Another football player balancing two sports and studies was Jaysen Horn. He spent approximately 20 to 25 hours practicing football a week, in addition to three-hour games and his time with the track team. Practices sometimes left Horn unmotivated, but bas- ing a good attitude kept him on an even keel. I had to push myself, Horn said. Otherwise I would not stay around here long. For Kerry Doetker, volleyball playerund track mem- ber, playing two sports meant pressure to do well. It was hard, but 1 did it in high school, Doetker said. .So I was kind of used to it. But there was more riding on it in college. Doetker, who spent 20 hours a week practicing and took 1 6 hours of classes in the fall term, said her parents were the stabilizing force behind her success. They valued success and getting things done, Doetker said. I worked hard for myself and for them because I knew they would be very hard on me if I failed a class or something. Butthey were very support- ive of me. Roper, Horn and Doetker said coaches were all supportive of their careers as athletes and students and encouraged them to meet demands of the classroom by giving them extra time to study when needed. Each had time for pursuing non-sport, non-school activities, but unlike Bo, none had gotten a Nike contract yet. Students show skill by competing in more than one sport Sports 181 CHALLEIMGES Bearcats lose home court advan- tage, but set records B y K m Todd The Bearcats looked to be unbeatable at the begin- ning of the volleyball season, but despite some dy- namic pertbrmances. the team ' s hopes were dashed as the season came to a close. The Cats won their first game of the season with a 3-0 victory over Benedictine College. They started an eight-game losing streak when they played Missouri Southern University. The game against Missouri Western University gave them two wins. They ended the season with five losses in a row and a 1 2-24 record. Although they did not have the best season, Coach Sarah Pelster thought the potential was there. We had a lot of talent and depth on the team, Pelster said. At the MIAA conference in Bolivar, Mo., where the Cats went up against Southwest Baptist University, Heidi Yurka led the Cats with nine kills and 18 digs. MIAA conference action in Warrensburg, Mo., against nationally-ranked Central Missouri State University, had Becky Brown leading the team with eight digs, which left her 40 away from breaking Terri Palmer s As the Missouri Western players attempt to block, setter Jennifer Pi ttrich saves the ball.

Because of Lamkin Gym renovations, the ' Cats had to play their home games at Missouri Western in St Joseph, Mo. The lack of familiarity with the court proved a challenge. Although Yurka played on a different court than she had during her three years with the team, she still managed to place third on the Cats all-time dig list with 1,027 digs. Although the team lost long-time players, Pelster was plea.sed by the new talent. Jennifer Pittrich led the team in assists with 1 . 1 26, Pelster said. Additionally, she set records for most assists in a game, most assists in a season and most digs by a freshman. Pelster believed that despite the loss of talented players, the volleyball team would have a competitive, rewarding and successful future. 182 Volleyball Outside liilttr Kerry Duetker jumps for the spike.

Becky Brown Brown had the most kills, service attempts and kill at- tempts of any player on the team. She had a school record for the most digs in a game, with 37 against Missouri Western. Brown ' s love for the game contributed to her solid stand- ing. I liked the competition, the teammates and the team ef- fort, Brown said. She was proud of her achievements. It was nice and it sort of gave me a sense of accom- plishment, Brown said. It was always nice to know I was looked up to. Strenuous play did put a strain on Brown. She sprained her ankle and pulled muscles. With a career of records and achievements, Brown had a career to look back on with pride.

Sports 183 S E ASO OF CHANGE High spirits dominate low scores By Mike Johnson and Shelley Stangle Breaking from a huddle, the Bearcat football team stepped up to the scrimmage line. They had spent hours practicing the plays and were ready for action. Fans were on the edge of their seats as they waited for the team ' s next move. The score was 7-0 and Northwest was in control of their fourth game of the season. The game against Emporia State University brought their first win and moved the Cats to l-4overalland 1- 2 in MIAA. Lawrence Luster passed for 1 1 3 yards and Jason Melnick had six receptions, which was the most by a receiver in a game since 1988. The Cats staged an eight-play drive and got the score on Luster ' s one-yard run with 2:52 remaining in the half. The Cats lost the first three games of the season including their season opener against Mankato State. 55-28. Although Mankato had a 21-0 lead within the first eight minutes of the game, by the second quarter the ' Cats only trailed by seven points, 28-2 1 , thanks in part to touchdowns by Jesse Haynes, Luster and Melnick. Mankato regained control of the game and it was over for the ' Cats. A highlight of the game was Luster scoring a career-high of 1 69 yards in one game. However the fifth game of the season against Washburn, was considered to be their greatest feat as the ' Cats brought home their second win. The team ' s best game was against Washburn, Jason Krone said. We played both good offense and defense. The Cats trampled Washburn 61-36. Krone made four touchdowns which were his first of the season. It was the third largest single-game point total in the team ' s history. Defensive back Cody Buhrmeister tied the school ' s single-game record with three intercep- tions. Other honors came when Krone and Donnell Griffin were recognized by the MIAA for their accomplish- ments not only on the field but in the classroom as well. Krone had a 3.46 grade point average and Griffin a 3.23. Both were selected for the MIAA All- Academic Football Team. — continued Greg Teak fights off an East Texas State player and scrambles for more yardage.

The administration was con- cerned with the disappointing seasons the ' Cats had had in recent years, Bob Henry, Di- rector of Public Relations, said, which hampered student and athlete recruitment. Elliott believed the University was putting too much empha- sis on win loss records and not taking into account the accomplishments the ' Cats had made. It just did not make sense that all of the sudden we talked about the things that the Uni- versity stood for and what we had done here and then sud- denly they measured every- thing on a win loss record, Elliott said. The University planned to find a replacement for Elliott by the end of the year, Henry said. Off the Field Northwest tries to block a field goal attempt by Noriheast Missouri State.

The best part of the season was the middle because we were winning. Luster said. Another highlight for me was the Missouri-Rolla game. I had 168 yards rushing with one touchdown and threw two touch- downs in the final two and ahalf minutes of the game which resulted in a 27-20 victory . I was also voted MI AA Player of the Week after that game. Luster also passed more yards than any other quar- terback since 1986, but all was not gold for the player. Luster was arrested for shoplifting three days before the Homecoming game against Southwest Baptist Uni- versity so Greg Teale started in his first game of the sea.son. According to the rule books, Luster had to sit out one game. Despite the temporary loss of the quarterback, the Cats headed into the Homecoming game with high hopes but lost 21-17. Chris Brooks scored what looked like was going to be the winning point of the game with only 1:53 remaining, however, SBU scored, giving them a winning four-point lead.

The season ended with a .3-6 record overall and 3-6 for the MI AA Conference. Head Coach Harold Bud Elliott, who had coached the ' Cats for seven seasons, was terminated. Although Elliott was blamed for the team ' s lack of success, some members of the team were shocked and said there were other factors that contributed to the losing season. We had a lot of young players and a pretty tough schedule, Ben Hansen said. Yet everyone seemed anxious to get a new coach. They did not see the stuff the team was up against. Things started to get old and the team was fed up with the whole situation. The Cats completed the season with individual achievements and records set. Although they had a losing season, they learned how to work together and managed to keep their spirits high, accomplishing individual goals in the process. Sports 187  A i ■is ■ ' .

Stains ' time broke the previous school record of 18:54 set in 1984, In addi- tion, she broke the record set in 1984 in the three-mile split with 18:14.8. According to Stains, breaking the record was one of the highlights of the season. I felt good knowing that I had accomplished some- thing from all the hard work in practice, Stains said.

Mark Roberts placed 3rd in the 4.4 mile run at the Simpson Invitationals with 22: 14. Head Coach Richard Alsup said injuries were the main reason for not making the top ten at regionals. At mid-season we ran very well. Alsup said. In fact, we won two meets in a row. However, our best freshman had bad shin splints, while Chris Blondin (who had been a 10th place finisher) received a knee injury and that had negatively affected our perfor- mance at the Great Lakes Regional. Although, the cross country teams did not advance to NCAA Division II Championships, the Cats had a solid core of returners. 188 Cross Country ndy Wuebker finishes the uphill climb, bringing in a 27th pUue finish at the Hearcat Distance Classic at Siidaway Uike.

Instead they were surprised to see thai Lamkin ' s renovations were only beginning. The hea rains of the summer months had slowed construction acti ilies. The changes in Lamkm were vast, but the most important changes were the adding of a student recre- ational center at the north end of the building, the total refurbishing of Bearcat Arena and the addition of offfices on the south end of the gym. The volleyball team was inconvenienced the most by the project, as they were forced to play their home games at Missouri Western Community College in St. Joseph. We knew what we were up against before the season began, Head Coach Sarah Pelster said. So much traveling time made it a very difficult year. The travel took a toll mentally and physically on the volleyball team, but the Cats still had a good showing on the court and in the classroom. It was tough to keep up with our studying since we were traveling so much, Hayley Hanson said. The Noilhwest basketball teams also felt the toll o the gym construction running late. Both teams had to share practice time with the volleyball team in Martindale Gym. Not ha ing a gym at the beginnmg of the year was a bother, but as soon as we played our first game in the new arena, it made the time seem worth it. basketball player Jamie Hoberg said. With all the disturbances from the work on Lamkin. it was a peculiar year in Northwest sports. All the problems with the gym were behind us and we were excited to get a chance to play in the new facility, volleyball player Jenn Pittrich. The students were also excited about having their own recreational facility where they did not have to share time with varsity athletics. It was great that the students finally had an athletic area of their own, Kevin Pitts said. I just wished it was a little bigger. With the completion of Lamkin, a new era was ushered in Bearcat sports.

With more than anyone else on the team, Taylor aver- aged 1 5 points and four re- bounds per game. Taylor saw the year as posi- tive for the team. We had a lot of adversity, Taylor said. Once we got used to each other, we played a good game. His plan was to play semi- professional basketball. I was going to try and still play ball and then I would have to look at my career more closely, Taylor said. Although Taylor excelled, he did not regard himself any better than his teammates. I really did not think about it, Taylor said. I looked at everyone being equal. Every- one did what they needed to do to get the )ob done. Getting his job done and doing his part for the team, Taylor found a promising ca- reer in shooting baskets. Off the Court TEAM TRIU Bearcats enjoy taste of victory By Mike Johnson With the renovation of Lamkin Gym, the men ' s team felt the pres- sure to give fans a reason to pack the new Bearcat Arena. The ' Cats brought a new attitude and excite- ment to the game as they scored a winning season with several down- to-the-buzzer victories. The first conference game of the season brought the ' Cats face-to- face with rival Missouri Western. James Holberg scored 14 points during the game, a career high. John Golden said this victory was especially memorable because of the long-standing rivalry between Northwest and Mo-West. There had been a rivalry between us and Mo-West for a long time, Golden said. The win showed who was the better team. The fourth conference game, played against South- west Baptist University, came down to the last 40 seconds as Golden sent a pass to Chad Deahl who dunked the basket. Although SBU tied the score, Donnie Taylor ' s layup in the final 20 seconds and SBU ' s inability to get a shot off in the team ' s final possession gave Northwest the win, 66-64. The ' Cats slipped past the Missouri Southern Lions with a come-from-behind 85-82 victory. Led by Taylor with 16 points and Darrell Wrenn with 15, the ' Cats eased by the Lions with only seconds remaining. With 10 seconds to go, the ' Cats narrowly beat the Lincoln Blue Tigers. The score was 69-68 in Lincoln ' s favor when Derrek Smith was fouled. Landing both free throws. Smith nudged the Cats to a one point victory, 70-69. Holberg said although the games created tension, the experience was ultimately good for the team. It really helped us in the long run, Holberg said.

A couple of the early games were down to the wire, which was good because we were used to it later on. All was not perfect in season play. In the game against Central Missouri State University, the ' Cats boasted a 22-9 lead in the first half. However, CMSU rallied to lead by as many as 14 in the second half. The game ended with a Northwest loss of 85-81 despite Ricky Jolley ' s 24 points. Another big victory was the 74-62 win over Pittsburg State University. The team trailed for much of the first half, but a steal and subsequent layup by Steve Simon sparked Northwest to pull ahead. The ' Cats enjoyed their best start since 1983 with a 5-0 conference record and 1 1-4 overall record. Al- though the team saw their record slip to 9-4 and a 3rd place tie with Northeast Missouri State University, — continuedl 194 Mens Basketball II players still had confidence in their chances to place as high as second in the conference or as low as sixth. I thought we had a chance of placing high in both the regular season and tournament championships — about a QO percent chance of both. Golden said. Coach Steve Tappmeyer agreed with Golden and cited teamwork as the primary reason for the success the team enjoyed. The first year I was here we won the conference tournament and we had an automatic bid to the NCAA. Tappmeyer said. This team was knocking on the door of reaching the same type of success. T he knock was louder as the Cats beat University of St. Louis- Missouri, 100-75. The game earned them a first-round home game in the MIAA Conference Tournament. However, the game against rival SBU two nights later sealed their 196 Mens Basketball Forward Doniiie Taylor passes around a Mid-America player. During the game, Taylor doubled his season average by scoring 30 points. Photo by Todd Weddle. ' i third-place standing as the Cats lost 74-69 and ended the season with a 1 1-6 conference record and 18-10 overall. It hurt really bad, Holberg said. ' It was a really emotional and sad time in the locker room after the game. We worked really hard and got so i close and did not get it. Although the team did not achieve conference championship. Golden looked back on the season with pride. I thought it was a good season, ' Golden said. Everybody stayed together as a team. There was no animosity or rivalry. Despite the playoff disappointment, the Cats ' season of wins brought y a new brand of basketball that fans packed the stands to see.

Aceording to A! Sergei, assistant professor of mu- sic, direction ofthe Flag Corps and Marching Band was turned over to John Fnt i at the beginning of the semester. Enlzi was in charge of the group for the first time, Sergei said. He and the students under his direction did a fine job. Flag Corps took part in all Marching Band activities. Jennifer English, one ofthe two Flag Corps captains, said the team performed up to expectations. We did a good job, English said. I was very pleased with how things went. We spent a lot of time practicing. The work was often difficult, but the re- wards were well worth all the effort. One ofthe highlights for the Flag Corps was demon- strating its abilities at the Homecoming parade and game. We enjoyed Homecoming, English said. We seemed to be really in sync as a group. There was nothing better than performing to an enthusiastic crowd. When the Marching Band performed at a Kansas City Chiefs ' game at halftime, band member Kenna Lambertsen was nervous. It was kind of intimidating, but we had played there before, Lambertsen said. That was really cool be- cause they knew who we were and cheered. Although there was a large number of freshmen in band, Lambertsen said the quality of their performance did not suffer. We thought that it might make a difference, but it really did not, Lambertsen said. In fact, it sounded better a lot of times. Entzi said both the Flag Corp and the Marching Band performed admirably. The students in the Flag Corp and Marching Band were all outstanding and put in a lot of extra time perfecting their skills, Ent?,i said.

Schear had 16 as- sists, eight blocked shots and 13 steals in 258 minutes played in 27 games. Although she had a great year, Schear acknowledged the team ' s successes through a tough year. We were a young team and kept our hopes up, Schear said. We never had the feel- ing we were in a losing year. It was a learning year. I thought in the future. Northwest would be a powerful team. Schear especially enjoyed the year because of a rough previous season. I had a rough time last year, Schear said. I felt like I was contributing (this season].

The team also hit a high when they scored 2( freethrows during the second half. The Cats won their next game against Lincoln, 7(S- 6 1 , but faltered in the game against Missouri-Rolla, 62- 50. The season ended with a 6-20 standing. The ' Cats did not tair well in the Ml.A.A Conference with a 2-14 standing which put them in a tie for last place. Head Coach Wayne Winstead said although the team faced difficulties, it was a positive experience. We knew there was a possibility we would struggle because of the oung cluh. Winstead said. But the pla ed hard and with a lot of competitiveness. Several pla ers had solid seasons, despite the youth of the team.

As Lumkin Gym was being turned uito Bearcat Arena over the fall semester, some of the events sched- uled for the semester were unable to be offered. Ac- cording to Bob Lade, Northwest intraniurals director, most of the regularly scheduled events for the fall semester went on as planned. We were able to do most ol the things that we usually did, Lade said. A vast majority of our events offered in the fall were outside anyway. The traditional intramural events continued to be the most popular. Sports such as basketball, flag football, Softball and volleyball were still student ' s favorites. Walleyball was the fastest growing new game among students in the program. The intraniurals program was a student run program, as they did e erything from officiating the games, having meetings to discuss an events rules before its season started and scheduling events. The students did basically everything, they ran t he program and we had a very good staff this year, Lade said. The times I had to step in were when there was a disciplinary problem. With any intraniurals program, sportsmanship played an important role to the program s success. Sportsmanship w as at a much better level at Northwest as students were warned of what the consequences would be if they practiced bad sportsmanship. The sportsmanship this season was much better than it was last season, Lade said. Our staff empha- sized good sportsmanship and we tried to make people reali e that they were out here to have tun. Points could also be taken away from a team for poor sportsman- ship, so that too helped. Students involved in intraniurals also thought good sportsmanship was better. I thought the atmosphere was not as tense, ' Tom Hays said. Everybody knew that bad sportsmanship would not be tolerated. Intraniurals provided students not playing a varsity sport a chance to compete and show their athletic prowess. Many took advantage of this opportunity. Intramurals provide an alternative game plan Sports 205 TRUE BELIEVERS Players rely on rituals for luck before games By Galen Hanrahan Believe it or not? That was what Ripley said many times on his famous television program. That was even what some college and pro-athletes said sometimes. Superstitions were a big part of our lives at times. They were even common in the world of athletics at North- west. Bearcat men ' s basketball Assistant Coach Del Morley admitted he was not always superstitious, but at times he could recall doing certain things before big games. My best game of my career as a college basketball player came when I put my left shoe on before my right, Morley said. Now even as a coach I always put my left shoe on before my right. Morley did not notice that the basketball team did anything superstitious before games. From a team stand point there was nothing we did together as a team, but I was sure that each player had his own certain things, Morley said. Outside Northwest, professional athletes were wrapped up in there own superstitions. Even former Chicago Bulls basketball great Michael Jordan had his own pre-game superstitious ritual. Jor- dan always put white dust on his hands and then shook it off into the face of the courtside announcers at Bulls home games. Another Cat athlete who had her own superstition was basketball player Justean Bohnsack. I always bounced the ball three times and spun it once before I shot it at the free throw line. Bohnsack said. In high school, I would always wear the same black and gold colored pony tail for my hair. These were sports superstitions that Bohnsack had done in high school that had carried to her day in college as a ' Cat basketball player. The women ' s basketball team also had a supersti- tious ritual they did before games. After the pre-game talk with coach, we always had a quiet talk as a team, Bohnsack said. Bohnsack noted that during the quiet time, the play- ers could say a team prayer or just have a moment of silence. So whether you believed or not, superstitions were played out at Northwest and throughout the rest of the sport ' s world. 206 Athletic Superstitions . ssi iani Coach Del Morley always puts on his left shoe before his right.

There were many schools across the country that won championships with players like these at their disposal. The major difference between the recruited athlete and the walk-on was, the recruited athlete who signed acontract to play forateam had to follow the guidelines stipulated in that team ' s contract. A walk-on just came out on their free will and practiced with the team in hopes of making it. Unlike the recruit, the w alk-on could quit at any time without the repercussions of losing their scholarship. Walk-on football player Cody Buhrmeister. a free safety who was selected to the 1993 Snow Bowl Division II All-Star football teain, thought that being a walk-on athlete was a challenge altogether. I had to work harder in order to get that money. Buhrmeister said. That was the biggest pressure. The fulfillment of being a walk-on could either be rewarding or simply devastating. No one expected me to succeed. walk-on track athlete John Holcombe said. So this put a lot of pressure on me to either produce or get out of the way. The pros and cons of being a walk-on athlete were not always easily weighed and could result in an athlete ' s low self image. It just depended on the person and their work ethic, Holcombe said. Being a walk-on, no one expected me to contribute or even last very long on the team. The sentiment of making the team was always a rewarding one. When I made it. there w as this great boost of energy made me feel good inside. Buhrmeister said. Richard Alsup was pleased when he saw the remark- able improvement by the walk-on. I wanted everyone to excel and it excited me. Alsup said. And I encouraged them each time. From the perspective of others, one would think that a walk-on ' s status or role on a team was of less significance than his counterpart. No one expected you to contribute or even last ery long on the team, Holcombe said. This became a mi.sconception because some of the greatest athletes in college were walk-ons themsehes. Buhrmeister and Holcombe proved that walk-ons could be a viable part of the team. Coming onto an established team poses challenge Sports 209 210 Groups Division ' .

During the year, ABC sponsored a number of events, which were focused toward both the community and Northwest students. Such events included assisting those in need. In November we bought turkeys and gave them away, Crystal Wilson said. For Christ- mas, we adopted a family and bought clothes and toys for the children. Throughout the year at the Monday evening meetings, students gathered and discussed a va- riety of topics and formed committees to plan future events. We had a calendar for Black History Month finished in January, Lonita Rowland, president, said. We had game shows, skits, a movie night and danced performances planned. Wilson said the group planned a Hall of Fame. We planned to have a Hall of Fame with pictures of black leaders with little descriptions written beside them to tell about them, Wilson said. ABC stressed the importance of education concerning oneself and others. The main purpose was to educate students in African American culture, to teach them things they may have thought they knew before, but did not, Rowland said. The membership requirements for ABC in- cluded being a student with 2.0 GPA, or if the member was not a student, a vote was taken by current members. We did not discriminate against race, color or religion, Rowland said. We only wanted to create an environment for people to interact with one another, learn a lot about themselves and to teach others. ■ Stacy (Jf!

It became hard to find activities that kept students busy so they ioolved to Campus Activity Pro- grammers for the fun and excitement that was hidden in Maryville, Mo. The members of CAPs sat down in the spring and tried to find out what was hot for the stu- dents. The executive board attended two confer- ences for the National Association of Campus Activity and tried to get a feel for what the student body wanted. Ellen DeGeneres and Suzy Bogguss were just a couple of performers to set foot in Mary Linn Performing Arts Center. Members had fears of disappointing the campus, but with headlining performances, it was easy to keep them happy. ■ ' When we picked something that everyone liked it felt so good. Heidi Gehrman said. It was nice to keep the campus happy. CAPs was a diverse group of individuals al- ■1 V H --  H V Vr hhhu h H p j s. ' w Om r ij . Ol p HK ■( ) lowing any student, with any major eligible to join. This group had many advantages to offer. There were many advantages to being a member. Gehrman said. I could get into the shows free and I even met the star performer. The leadership skills and goals were those that could not be replaced as well. Each year, the members of the organization tried to bring new and improved acts to campus. While students and faculty danced to the beat of a different drum at the Wild Video Dance Party, they also enjoyed the familiar scenes of a family tradition: The Real Live Brady Bunch. CAPs also brought the comedy of Carrot Top and the hypnotic power of Jim Wand. ■ They did not just magically appear. Kevin Gogan said. ■People had to work to bring them here. Whether it was watching the double feature or seeing up and coming comedy acts, there was always something to do. ■ Cody Walker Ellen iJiGiiiiits cnkriiiini icill ' her olj-lbe-u ill humor C A Pi ipoiisoreJ ii ninety of enlerlitwmeni, :ni:luilmg comfJmns ami muiiCiihjuesk Photo by Russ Weyitert Cuitiirtst Kevm (J.jy, ol My Little Doej Chhhi. sintjs liiirint) a concert m the Spunish Den The hiinii from Lohimhui, Mo . ii ' us sponsored hy Campus Actwity Protframmers Photo by Mike Reijf 220 Organizations Bike Cilib t The promoted inicrcst in bi- cycling in Northwest Missouri.

And with our support ot Camp Quality, we were able to do just that. According to Tisha Tapia. Circle K also do- nated cU)thing to children tor the Salvation Army Christmas Tree in Wal-Mart. Circle K members also volunteered their ser- vices during the Homecoming parade by hand- ing out doughnuts and hot chocolate for specta- tors. V ' mkler said members usually spent more than five hours a week working on different projects. It was definitely hard work, Winkler said. But members gained valuable communication and leadership skills by participating in the vari- ous activ ities. Membership was a problem because of out- side activ ities. It was a problem because there w ere so many activ ities on campus. Tapia said. Nobody re- ally had the time needed to devote to ihe things we were doing. Even with the time problem, the group still gave a lot to the community. It was also extremely rewarding to help people, Winkler said. The community service projects gave all of the members a wonderful sense of lullillment and satisfaction. Circle K. a student organization w Inch made a positive impact on the community as a whole, was an national organization with chapters throughoui the nation. It was also an organiza- tion which made a significant contribution to Northwest ' s reputation as a university that in- stilled a quest tor excellence in its students.

He wanted to be able to look back on his col lege years and remember the things he did. for example, going skydiving and other activities. The.se were my five years of going to under- graduate college and I would like to cram as many memories in there as I could . Davis said. One of EXCEL ' s goals was to dispel the common misconception of its association with the ROTC. The organization was to be advised by officers in the ROTC, but any student, with or w ithout military invoKement. couki be a mem- ber. Other than ha ing to come u|i with a name, EXCEL had other important decisions to make. They had to ct)me up w ith a constitution, decide upon a structure and how it was to grow. Heldstab said the members themselves drew up the new constitution and took it to .Student Sen- ate for approval. The organization ' s activity of the fall semes- ter was a trip to Hunter ' s Cave in Ct)lumbia, Mo. The group also held minor activities, such as rapelling. Tim Davis said EXCEL planned to do many more events in the future, however, many of them were tentative. I nan attempt to recruit ne winembers.l.XCl-X held an EXCEL Week in the fall. Activities of the week included water polo and rapelling. We had also spread tlyers, but a majority of the recruitment was through word of mouth by members. Curtis Heldstab said. Unfortunately, this word of mouth was not enough. Despite the group ' s efforts to grow and its plans forthe future, the organization could no longer survive without the growing support of members.

In August, GALTAN offered small presenta- tions to freshman seminar classes. These meet- ings allowed students to talk to homosexuals and heterosexuals and ask questions. The presenters were homosexuals or heterosexuals, that e ither were related to homosexuals or friends of one. GALTAN visited Audra Clipson s freshman .seminar class and she said despite some (.|ues- tions students asked, GALTAN was right in doing the .sessions. Some of the questions the class asked the guys were inappropriate, Clipson said. It was like they were prying into their sexual life in- stead of nice, general questions, but the guys handled it well. l-jitenng their jalop .

Member ' s responses seemed posi- tive. We got a lot accomplished, Kelli Mahoney said. It was a successful year. Membership did not depend on sexual il . but support. The group was designed as a support group that allowed heterosexuals to join and talk openly with homosexuals. Mahoney, whose brother was homosexual, said she was surprised that there v ' as no negative response. It went over really well. Mahoney said. There was not any negative comments to those who came out. Adam Crump agreed with Mahoney that the year was a suc- cess, however he said GALTAN tried to accomplish too much loo soon. We achicNcd the goals we set out to do, which was to inform people about homosexuals and not to discriminate against them, Crump said. But we got involved too soon. Some people would not accept this overnight and we needed to take our time and intro- duce it smoothly and slowly. With one year behind them as a Senate recognized group, GALTAN began focusing on the upcoming years and new ways to educate about homosexuality.

I ' here was a need for a Hispanic .Xmericaii support yroup because we needed recruitment and a retention of Hispanic students on campus. Castro said. HALO not only supported the Hispanic American cuhure on campus, but lounii lime to get in (ii ed in community service. One com- munits project thes sponsored was a Valentine Dance lo raise mone for group homes in Maryville. Mo. HALO wanted to help support the comnumits because it had supported ihem even though there was no Hispanic communiiv in Marvville. Mo. We wanted to do something for the commu- nit . Castro said.

LisaGrinshow thought that being a member of the Horticulture Club helped her gain more ex- perience tending plants than she would have received by just taking classes in the curriculum. It helped me to identify different horticulture crops and know how to work with them. Grinshow said. Members of the Horticulture Club took care of the old greenhouse that was located east of the Administration Building. Transfer student Karen Walker began reorga- nizing the greenhouse at the beginning of the school year. Walker cleaned the inside and be- gan moving plants to the south side of the build- ing, where most of the heat was. Walker thought that it was disappointing that no one, other than herself and Chad Pierson, took advantage of the opportunity to organize and manage the facilities the group had in their control. 1 loved it, it was so easy, Walker said. Sometimes I forgot what I would be doing. It was a shame no one came here at the beginning of the year. Walker increased the number of plants from clips taken from their parent plants. The group also began organizing a donation of aloe plants to nursing homes. Along with house plants. Walker planted herbs and v egetables with hopes of selling them to make money for the club. Besides working in the greenhouse with plants, the Horticulture Club also participated in other activities. In October, members traveled to St. Joseph. Mo., with Alpha Tau Alpha and the Agronomy Club to the Haunted Barn. Because of an increase in membership and earned money, the group was able to plan more activities for the future. The Horticulture Club earned most of its funds from their annual plant sale they held every fall. The sale earned the group a total of $130.67, which would go toward group activities like field trips to Botanical Gardens in Des Moines, Iowa, and St. Joseph. Mo. Members were not only given hands-on expe- rience but the opportunity to work in a specialty field that they were interested in. Those who were horticulture majors had various career fields to choose from, such as managing a green- house, landscaping and seed research. But, one did not have to be a horticulture major to join the organization. The only requirement to join the group was an interest in tending plants. ■Adviser Johanne Wynne said love of plants was the reason people joined the group. I thought a lot of people were interested in plants, Wynne said. There were theater majors in the group. They were tied together by liking plants. ■ Fay Dablquist Kami Wiilkir ktuli (o pLinls  ? ihe old i]recnhouie JuniuJ (fee irinlcrmonlhs Walker i involvement tn the HorlKidlure (luluind .iH ' e ofjlora iiifpireil her (o ciillii ' iflc her interest in plant li t Photo by ( ' MS Tucker HORTIC ULTURE ClUB Tlic LiroLip r;iisL-d pkinis lo sell duniiii llicii :iniiiial pkini sale. ■ They tciok care ol restorini; the old greenhouse.

Organizations 233 Miming Conveys Christian Messages Performing arts spread the word of God throughout Northwest With a message to be shared and a talented way to convey it, Koiaiah was a Christian orga- nization that displayed its message with an artis- tic twist. Koiaiah was established by Kevin Gullickson in 1992 after he had seen a performance of a group similiar to Koiaiah and felt led by God to establish such an organization at Northwest. The purpose of Koiaiah was to spread the word of God and the message of Jesus through the peiforming arts of mime, drama and music. Members accomplished this by performing various skits, each w ith a personal message and style, at churches and nursing homes in various cities such as Chilicothe, Mo., St. Joseph, Mo., Omaha. Neb., and Chariton, Iowa. Some members of the organization belonged to similar performing groups in high school and decided to continue in college. Koiaiah met weekly to practice their skits for upcoming events, study the Bible and to discuss any problems of the members or the group. Practices relaxed the members, giving them a time away from their studies and the stresses of school. We could come and let loose, Brian Whitaker said. It helped people to be better witnesses for Jesus Christ. The fellowship with other Christians and the ministering e.vperience showed people that Christianity was not just church and that being a Christian did not have to be boring. Each member of Koiaiah had an indi idual reason for Joining and each received personal satisfaction from the organization. I was led by God to Koiaiah, so it meant a lot to me. Paula Starling said. Most of the people in Koiaiah brought me to Jesus. It helped me to stick w ith mv de otions and to stick with God.

It th;ii was true. KXCV y().5 KRNW 88.9 the national puhlic radio altiliate on the Northwest campus was in for a bright future. The station concluded 1993 on a high note in terms of success. On Aug. . 0. 199.3 KXCV expanded its signal to reach Chillicothe, Mo., with the addition of a .38,()0() watt transmitter. KXCV then became KXCV W.5 KRNW 88.9. The whole expan- sion process to Northcentral Missouri look three years to complete. It was the staffs idea and we went lo the University adrninistration with the thought that we could acquire a federal grant to cover 15 percent of the project. Sharon Bonnett, station manager, said. The Uni ersity covered the other 25 percent of the project. Bonnett admitted that there was a need for national public radio in the area. There was no public radio or television in Northcentral Missouri. Bonnett said. We felt that b putting out a signal to those w ho did not have access to one before would soke that problem. riie station continued their yearly on air fund- raising drive in 1993. More than $17,000 in pledges from area listeners were taken in. We also continued lo siill actively seek pledges from those who had gncn in the past, Bonnett said. In addition to listener-supported funding, KXCV received a minimum of two federal grants. The station also continued to support their commitment to Northwest students employed on their operation staff. Seven professional em- ployees and thirty students made up the KXCV staff. Maintaining the componcni of student train- ing was very important to us, Bonnett said. We had weekly workshops that were coordinated with the foreign language department, since a big component of our student training dealt with pronunciation. Broadcasting inajor Kirk Waymaii worked at KXCV because of the professional radio experi- ence it gave him. The type of programming the station had gave me a broader sense of mv talents. Way man said. Other highlights included KXCVs staff members assistance with the production of audio advertisements for the New Image Northwest advertising campaign. The Missouri Broadcast- ers Association awarded the station 1st place in the area of promotions and an honorable men- tion in news features. The station also debuted the new Audio- Reader service. The service served visually impaired and physically handicapped individu- als who had difficulties reading. The ongoing goal was to broaden the appeal of national public radio. I could not imagine life without public radio and it was nice to have worked in something that you believed so strongly in, Bonnett said.

Newman members also held lun acliviiies every Friday night including movies, board games, dinner and roller skating. During Lent a more serious side was taken w ith Journey when about 40 people gathered for a . O-minute prayer once a week. Greene said all ol these aspects came together in a family atmosphere. There v as a real sense of lamily and 1 en- joyed all of the people in Newman, Greene said. It just seemed natural to get involved. I also liked doing community service. After four years as campus nnnister. Maher was in his last year at the Newman Council and he talked about his experience and what Newman had accomplished over the years. This was my first experience as a pastor leader. Maher said. Over the years, w hat we had accomplished was greater outreach. Through electronic mailing, brochures and pro- grams, our V isibility had increased. I was most proud of our connection with groups and strong ties with other campus ministries. Members also took time out tor them.sel ves. In October, they traveled to the Lake of Ozarks for a resort retreat. Morning and evening prayer with discussion was held, but the main focus was lor students to just relax. Eight members also traveled to St. Louis for an education focus at the Missouri Association College Catholic Conven- tion for workshops and speakers. l-Acn with already high campus and commu- miy involvement, Newman Council was reach- ing for a greater focus on prayer and community.

Members of NRHH had to live on campus for two consecutive semesters and maintain at least a 2.3 GPA. Evelyn Mayer said. They had to be involved on campus and show a positive attitude towards residential life. Many members of NRHH were students, RAs. those involved in hall council, or RHA or really involved in their hall floor government were members of NRHH, Shari Smyers said. Members had to be involved consistently in campus activities. Consistency, that was what was really impor- tant, Smyers said. Showing that a person was really involved and worked with other students to make their experience in the residence halls a success and showing that they cared about Northwest. NRHH was formed so the work of those stu- dents who labored hard to make the college experience more enjoyable would not go unno ticed. NRHH voted on several awards that were presented by the Residence Hall Association monthly. Awards such as Student of the Month Hall Council Adviser of the Month, Residence Hall Assistant of the Month and Program of the Month were presented. Nominations for these awards were voted on by each hall council and then were submitted to the Residence Hall Association. RHA then gave all nominations to NRHH to be voted on the first Wednesday of every month. We read all nominations submitted by the hall councils then individually we would make our decisions and put them in a ballot box Smyers said. If there was a tie. we would re- read the nominations and re-vote. Besides sponsoring awards, NRHH also had social gatherings. We had a barbecue and a Thanksgiving din- ner, Smyers said. We tried to mix meetings with educational activities, our business agenda and social activi- ties, Mayer said. Because NRHH was an hon- orary organization, we wanted our members to have some fun and relief from their regular v ork. The group met once a month and was trying to revise itself for the future, for this reason, the group was not as active as in past years. NRHH was responsible for earning all fund- ing themselves. During the summer members raised $2.()()() through arious fund-raisers such as carpet and bedding sales. With this money the organization sponsored a scholarship and also decided to show its appreciation toward mem- bers by paying half of the cost of the sweat shirts they bought. We bought sweatshirts not only to show appreciation to our members but also to promote NRHH on campus. Mayer said. NRHH supported those who put extra effort into making life in the residential hall more comfortable. ■ Ruby Dittmer NiUioiutI RcsiiifMcc Hiill Hoiwrnry hoUi ti meeliiii) iii Pirnii H.ill ioimtjc to discuiijulure fi ' fiih The i roii i provuiai schoLu- ihipsfor sli((JfHls mvolved m (lie kills Pholo by Tony Alai i 240 Organizations NRHH Their goal was to honor those siudenls that made significant CDMtnbuliiins lo ihe residence halls.

Pcrrm Hall Council thrived to make the sinallesi resi- dence hall on campus the best. Since Perrin Hall was the smallest residence hall on campus we felt that communitN iinohe- ment was what made Perrin stand out. Dana Hayden. president said. Perrin Hall Council members tried to get whole in i)l ement ot their residents by various activities. Known on campus for its recycling program headed by Elaine Headlee. residents did their part to protect the earth. Perrin Hall had done an exemplary Job in recycling, Jill Wright said. A recycling competition was held betu een all floors for three weeks. With the winning floor receiving a recycling piz a party. They also sponsored a competition with their brother hall with questions about recycling. Residents of Perrin also raised monev for charits b having a penny war. Hach floor had a plastic cup where pennies and other coins could be placed, the winner of the war was the tloor with the most pennies. The war became very competiti e w hen mem- bers froin other floors would put nickels and dimes instead of pennies in the cups. Wright, who lived on the winning third floor that raised nearly S. O said everyone was w illing to help out. We just went around and everybody put money in our cup, Wright said. It was very competitive and we raised a lot of money. A total of $S7 was raised for United Way through the penny war. Another lund-raiser involved resident assis- tants, the assistant hall director and the hall director who were raising money to go on a retreat in Hxcelsior Springs. Mo. They offered services such as cleaning rooms, doing laundry and running errands lor residents for a small fee. They also read bedtime stories and tucked residents in at night. During Family Day. Perrin Hall hosted a free face painting booth at the carnival. Over 200 faces were painted by hall members. We painted paw prints on the faces of stu- dents and their family members of all ages. Wright said. To show their Homecoming spirit, residents of Perrin Hall decorated hallways with various themes. First floor was decorated to the theme of 101 Dalmatians, Second floor Winnie the Pooh, Third floor Disney movies and Fourth floor was Mickey and Minnie Mouse. To unify the hall, T-shirts and sweatshirts promoting Perrin were ordered. The T-shirts were designed by Hayden. I thought that the T-shirts showed the rest of the campus that even though we were small, we worked together and were a close, cohesive group of young women, Melissa Farley said. Hav ing made the hall their home away from home. Perrin Hall Council worked to ensure their residents a comfortable community, with many activities that involved the entire hall. ■ Ruby Dittmer Jmnifer Chiindler, KiiHe kyaii iiiui Jemi Crocco liisciis ' . pro- i riim iiicds durini) a Renin Hall Council meeting Allhougb Pcmn ii ' iis ifcf imallest residence hall on campus i( was well known for lis nxyclmij proi)ram Pliolo by Laura Riedel Organizations 243 Men Anxiously Await Changes H m D D D U Q B IBQIil] Q g] m m Q II 01 Members reward outstanding programs and contributions Even though residents of Phillips Hall anx- iously awaited changes to be made, the hall was successful in its final year as a men ' s residence hall. Phillips Hall Council meetings were held ev- ery Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Several topics were discussed at these meetings; one of which be- came a reality. The council discussed acquiring a new pool table. Members of the council appointed a com- mittee to look into buying a pool table and in December, with money from their hall improve- ment fund, the pool table was purchased. The residents of Phillips Hall also raised money for the United Way by having a volley- ball tournament and raffling off the hall director ' s parking space for one month. It was nice to have won the hall director ' s parking spot. Tom DeBlauw said. It was con- venient to always have a place to park when others always had to look for a place. During the Family Day Carnival, the residents of Phillips Hall sponsored a football throw. We made a football player out of cardboard and put a hole in it where the player ' s hands were, Jeff Moser said. Participants were to throw a football through the hole to make it look like the player was catching the football. In order for Phillips to sponsor such activities, residents had to be involved in hall council. The residents who attended council meetings were given pesos. Every person who went to a hall activity was given 10 pesos and five pesos for being in attendance at floor sponsored activities. The.se pesos were then u.sed at the end of the semester to buy certain things from the front desk such as pop tarts and VCR rentals. The residents of Phillips Hall hoped that changing the hall from an all male residence hall to a co- ed hall would motivate residents. James Scrogin and DeBlauw were respon- sible for writing the proposal to make Phillips a co-ed residence hall. The new plans for Phillips involved a wellness hall. They were looking at having it be a co-ed wellness hall with wellness programs and mak- ing the hall tobacco free, Steve Warren said. Phillips Hall had one of the biggest weight rooms on campus. We planned to purchase exer- cise equipment such as a tread mill and an exercise bike, we were also going to find out if we could turn part of the basement into an aerobics room with a TV and a VCR. The residents wanted to improve their hall ' s image. Phillips Hall was trying to work on its image of being all men and going to have women move in. Warren said. In its final year as an all male hall the residents of Phillips pulled together and sponsored many successful events. Residence waited for the fol- lowing year when the changes they had prompted would finally come into effect and would complete Phillips Hall Councils purpose of making the hall a better place to live.

Organizations 245 New Ideas Promote Activities Students gain hands-on experience while working on promotional campaigns With a focus on promoting events, the PubHc Relations Student Society of America, offered hands-on experience to members. PRSSA was an organization in which members worked on promotional campaigns while gaining experi- ence before going out into the work force. PRSSA was a student-run organization for public relations majors. Kris Schechinger said. We took on different accounts for people and promoted their events. More than just an organization, members of PRSSA were a lso friends. We were a very comfortable and open group. ■■ Sheiia Murray said. We all got along well. ' Promotion In Motion, the group ' s on-campus public relations firm, offered the services of an actual public relations firm. Members of PRSSA were di ided into indi idual account teams and their responsibility was lo service and satisfy the client. Each account team was given lee way to express their creativity, while the client was informed of all actions relating to the account. PRSSA members worked on several acounts such as working for ISO. St. Gregory ' s Church and for Student Senate during elections For Student Senate we would publicize their elections, we would take picutres of the candi- dates and we would promote them, Stacey Grell said. Depending on the account, someone would write letters, someone would target the community and someone else would target the schools. PRSSA was not well known on campus. Not a lot of public relations majors were involved in the group but it was a good experi- ence. Murray said. Members w orked with accounts as they would in the work force. Because of working with accounts in PRSSA, we were not as intimidated by compa- nies and felt comfortable about going out in the work force, ' Murray said. PRSSA also offered services to the campus, that were rarely used. Not many knew that we offered services such as making brochures, tlyers and writing news releases. Murray said. Members of PRSS.A sponsored several fund- raisers for their conventions at the Lini ersity of Northern Iowa and in Florida. Events such as a bake sale during Homecoming and they also worked with the American Cancer Society dur- ing Daffodil Days. All monies raised during Daffodil Days remained in Nodaway County. PRSSA was a great resume builder for its members. A majority of the experience that I had put on my resume ' had come from my working with PRSSA. Murray said. Members of PRSSA were recognized each semesterforhaving attained theirnational mem- bership. Graduating seniors were honored for their achievements and what they had accom- plished throughout their academic careers. While still in college, PRSSA gave hands-on experience to members.

Ilie main focus of the presentations was assertixeness. healthy relationships and communication in re- lationships. RIGHTS reached appro imatel I. . 00 stu- dents by talking to the freshman seminar classes and the students had a great response to the RIGHTS presentation. We had really positi e comments. Heidi Cue said. ' After our presentation, the students were interested in the campus disciplinar and it also opened the students up and made them more aware of the occurrence of rape. Along with freshman seminar classes. RIGHTS made a presentation to the parents of lieshmen during summer testing to educate them along with students. It was necessary to speak with the parents bcloiv their kids came down to Northwest. Doug Martin said. It allowed the parents to show the kids how to protect thcm.selves and to educate them on rape prevention. .Another big activity for RIGHTS was the Personal Safety Week held in November. Dur- ing the week, they gave more presentations, held an open house, had a trust walk and gave self- defense classes. Another activity RIGHTS co-sponsored dur- ing the week was Operation ID. Students could get any possession, such as stereos or televi- sions, engraved and registered in a national computer. In an e ent of a theft and the item was paw ned, the owner would ha c a better chance of getting their possession returned to them. Another activity that received positive re- sponse was the Jail-n-Bail. RIGH IS had a top 10 most wanted list, that included such campus personalities as Michael Walsh, director of en- rollment. Dr. Denise Ottinger, dean of student affairs, and Trent Skaggs, president of Student Senate. Once, they were arrested and placed in |ail for one hour or until they raised $15 for their bail. For the students and RK HTS, the .lail-n-Bail was c|uite enjoyable. It went really well, Martin said. The people, as the day went on, really got into it. Also, the people in thejail seemed to be enjoying themscKes. After the Personal Safety Week. RIGHTS realized how much support the campus had for their program. We just had so much support, Cue said. It was overwhelming to know how many people believed in our cause. RIGHTS main focus was to educate and in- crease awareness of rape. Through their many activities during the year the group achieved their goal of educating students on how to pre- vent themselves from being victims of rape.

Rush functions were held throughout the ear. Some of our I unctions w ere formal events, w hile others were informal, they were basically a way for us to get to know the pledges and for them to get to know us. Before the actives decided who to give bids to all pledges had to till out an information sheet complete w ith two reccommendations. Homan said. One of the recommendations had to come from a private instructor and the other from another professor in the music department. At their meetings, the organization di.scussed upcoming e ents and planned such fund-raisers as deliv Cling balloons and candy for Valentines Day and car washes. .Although it was not intentionally a fund- raiser, members also performed singing tele- grams upon request, but the did not charge for these ser ices. Howe er. they accepted dona- tions. Another tund-raiser that the SATs partici- pated in w,as working at the Distrct Music Con- test held on campus. S.Al was paid for the num- ber of hours meinbers worked. Money that SAI raised was useil for arious materials. We used our money for ordinary items like we bought a camera for our historian, a new punch bowl for our parties and used funds to cover expenses during Rush functions. I Ionian said. Rush expenses included piiniding refresh- ments for members and Rushees. Members of SAI traveled to Tan-Tar-A, Mo., for a three-day music convention. Tan-Tar-A was an annual state convention for music educators that was always held the last week in January, Homan said. At Tan-Tar-A, members at- tended several clinics and work- shops that covered different areas of the music field. I went to several workshops that taught me how to prepare a band for contest and how to teach lessons in class, Stacey Tripp said. Members who went to Tan-Tar- A received a better knowledge of what Missouri was doing in the music field of education. SAI was a professional fraternity for women who were music majors or minors who loved to sing and help the community.

To add to knowledge of human resource management and to develop networks and con- tacts for a better chance of getting a job. was the purpose of SHRM. according to Penny DeJong, adviser. SHRM was the largest professional interna- tional as.sociation and they were devoted solely to enhancing the field of human resource man- agement. Since the local chapter of SHRM wasjust in its beginning, the international organization only had 1 2 members. As this was the first full year of SHRM, recruiting members was an important aspect to the groups year and th ey planned to continue to expand and increase membership. Shaleen Roth said their main goal was to focus on recruiting. The group held two meetings a month. The first meeting focused on business aspects of the organization. This included what the different offices had done in past weeks and what they needed to do for preparation. Then they dis- cussed what the group needed to accomplish as a whole. The second meeting usually consisted of a guest speaker who had worked in the personnel area, which included individuals who had worked with hiring, job termination, training and benefits. DeJong said the purpose of these speakers was to introduce us to the realities of human re- source management. Along with meetings the group gathered for other activities. SHRM travelled to Hallmark for a tour and to talk with a personnel officer. The guide discussed with the group what would be expected of them when they graduated and en- tered the professional world. As a more social activity, the group also went howling to relax and get to know each other, as well as a Christmas party. SHRM included testing procedures in order for the members to gain junior or senior certifi- cation in the field of human resource manage- ment. These procedures were given to enhance job possibilities in the personnel area. They also had scholarships available to stu- dents in the human resource management field or other fields that were closely related. The national headquarters included an internship program. We were trying to establish an internship program locally. Roth said. This was so the members would gain experience while in Maryville. SHRM was a group founded to provide mem- bers with helpful products and services. They were also focused on enhancing students lead- ership qualities in the human resource manage- ment field. They worked toward giving members knowl- edge and experience that would be needed to gain a job in the field after graduation.

Meghan O ' Riley said. We ran errands vr visited w ith the students and their parents about Northwest. Something different to come about was the use of Phone Ambassadors. These w ere Ambas- sadors hired to call prospective high school students to answer any questions the might have had. The Phone Ambassadors were a little more personal. O ' Riley said. There were six of them we used as guinea pigs and I thought they did fine. Awards were given for Ambassadors who went above and beyond their regular duties. Merrit Brinknian was named Student Ambassa- dor of the Month for November because of the extra effort he put toward activities the Student Ambassadors were doing. ■ I was named as Ambassador of the Month tor helping iiut with various extracurricular activi- ties we did, Brinkman said. During Homecoming festivities Student .Am- bassadors joined in the spirit and won 2nd place w ith their house decoration. Being a part of the St udent Ambassadors was an honor. O ' Riley thought that one ot the most rewarding aspects of being an Ambassador was helping new or prospective students learn about Northwest. ! was the first person that some of the.se people met and the best thing was helping them decide on what school they were going to, O ' Riley said. Student Ambassadors were viewed as a key recruiting tool by the University and a symbol of student leaders. ■ Sara Meyers StuiltiU Amhiiiiiuior Dom; Sunnk iboin Dhimie Diii ' rs tiiid her itircMls l )f tom iulfrs m ibt ' B D Ou ' fiis Ulmiry Amlnnsiulon i iii ' c ill Ifiisl 60 lours a ircek PImlo by Imnifer Miilloi ' Organizations 255 Spiritual Routes Guide Worship QBiiiaii BBiiiuiaia Religious services and activities offer support to everyone Holding worship services and helping others were the main activities for the Wesley Center. The Wesley Center was Methodist denomi- nation, but was open to anyone regardless of denomination. Wesley held an informal mid- week worship on Wednesday and went over to the First United Methodist Church for Sunday worship. Midweek worship was a break from every- day classes, Sarah Partlow said. It allowed us to get back to our spiritual routes. Besides the different worship services, a large part of Wesley was their involvement with community service. In the fall students traveled to St. Louis, Mo., to help with the clean-up efforts after the Mid- west floods. Some of the students that ventured to the tlooded area had not been affected and were shocked by the magnitude of the flood, Even though I was not directly affected by the flood, Kari Sellberg said. It was great to help an area that was affected by the floods. We saw some houses that had mud up to the second floor. The Wesley Center held a support group during the first block for new students to North- west, The group allowed for the students to discuss their problems and concerns of college life, 1 got to know people that were in the same boat as 1 was, Kristal Turner said. It was a good support system. Through it 1 met a lot of new people and I got my feelings out. It also made it easier to get through the week. According to Sellberg, Wesley became highly active in Homecoming because of their strong student council. Wesley entered a jalopy, Pete ' s Dragon and Sellberg was a Homecom- ing queen finalist.

We were one ot the smaller on campus and we had to get behind our projects. Kooi said. We branched out and started to get more involved with thecom- munitv and the campus instead ot ' just focusing on social. The fraternity became more focused on chapter goals and communitv involvement. Alpha Sk.ma Alpha Alpha Sigma .Alpha was a so- rority that worked hard for its philanthropies.

They worked with the United Way and the Headstart children on a regular basis. We concentrated most on the Headstart. Chad Ferris said. We had a Christmas party and planned an Easter Egg Hunt and for the United Way we had a canned food drive. The Delta Chis also excelled outside of com- munity service when they were awarded Home- coming Supremacy. This was the 1 7th consecu- tive year the fraternity won this award. In addi- tion, they placed 2nd with their float, Jungle Book and 2nd in the Variety Show with Men On Disney. During Greek Week, the Delta Chis placed 1 st in the bat race and the canoe races. The fraternity sponsored an anti-hazing speaker in the spring to give support to members. Ha ing was really negative, Rich Diaz said.

Not only did they provide students with the feeling of sisterhood and acceptance, but the Phi Mus also taught about the importance of helping others in the community and around the world. Two of the biggest activities throughout the year were Homecoming and Greek Week and the Phi Mus swept in the awards during both. For Homecoming they won Overall Su- premacy, Overall Parade Supremacy and Best Overall Clowns. Homecoming was a big event for all involved in any organization on campus. Working on Homecoming and Greek Week made me feel like I was more a part of the campus, Stacy Fink said. During Greek Week festivities the Phi Mus excelled participating in the Greek games. They took Best Song and Most Creative Song for Greek Sing, Greek Games and was awarded the Social Service award from Delta Sigma Phi. The Phi Mus par- ticipated in several community service projects. Among those were tutoring, food drives, clothing drives and their philanthro- pies with Children ' s Miracle Network and Project Hope.

Sigma Phi Epsilon This fraternity was very involved in its phi- lanthropy ALS (Lou Gehrig ' s disease). Dunng Homecoming, they held a teeter-totter five-day marathon to raise money. Because of their great donation, the ALS foundation hon- ored the Sig Eps. They were also presented the Buchanan Award given by the national organization of Sigma Phi Epsilon. They were one of 27 chapters out of 265 chapters across the nation to receive this award. We were a fraternity that believed in giving and helping the community, rather than helping Greeks enhance leadership and excellence 262 Greeks out ourselves, P. J. Amys said. The Sig Eps believed in de- veloping a strong charaeler for their I ' ellow members. Becomiiii; a balanced man through academics, athletics and commiinits ser ice as well as constant impnnementot our- selves ' as our most important aspect, Ainys said. The Sig Eps were also con- cerned about the Greek reputa- tion. We reali eii the pressures that v ere put on (irecks h the community and campus, .• nns said.

We had a really strong sister- hood that ptilled us together to do a lot of community service, Hopkins said. Their national philanthropy was the Robbie Page Memorial. With the money that the Tri Sigs donated to the Children ' s Mercy Hospital, the institution purchased dolls. These were used to help explain surgical procedures to the children. During Homecoming the Tri Sigs entered the first completely recyclable float which received 5th place. Two of their clown entries got 2nd place and they received 4th place in skit at the Variety Show. We had so many different girls that were involved in so many dif- ferent things. Hopkins said. Our girls had a lot of different interests. They did not just focus on Sigma, they really got involved on cam- pus. During the Greek Week activi- ties the Tri Sigs received Outstand- ing Greek Organization. Highest Chapter Average Grades. Highest Initiated Average Grades, Highest Pledge Class Average Grades.

Sigma Tau Gamma Members of the fraternity Sigma Tau Gamma represented what it meant to belong to a diverse group at Northwest. We had people from different backgrounds and everyone came together. Bob King said. Every- one was themselves and they did not have to put on a show tor any- body. Their goal was to promote well being with brotherhood. This was achieved through various activities, such as nights out together at soror- ity mixers, their fall informal and spring formal. Another goal of the Sig Tau s was to provide the community with good leaders for the future and to teach men social responsibilities. Several changes occurred during the 1994 academic year.

One organization thai the Sig Tau ' s worked with throughout the year was BACCHUS, Bring Alcohol Conscit)usness Concerning Ce)llege Students. The SigTaus also helped out w ith the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation w ith tund-raiser walks. Tau Kappa Epsilon The sense of brotherhood and understanding was what the members of Tau Kappa Epsilon experienced dining and alter pledgeship. Their national philanthropy was the Special Olympics. The TKHs held a Three Point Shoot Out to raise money for this organization. The I KHs also worked with the Horace Mann chil- dren on an Easter Egg Hunt. They recci ed the Top TKE Aw ard. a superior chapter rating. The TKIa also received the Na- lional Alumni Award. ■ It was an honor to recei e the Top TKE Award. Patrick Halsted said. The honored award reflected the Greek ' s commitment to the community, good grades, rush turnout. pre ious awards and invoKement on campus. It was something we alw ays strive for. Brian Marriott said. ' It was very important because we had only won it once in each decade, the ' 60s, ' 70s and ' SOs. Being an officer at the time that we won the award was very special for me. They also held their annual social e cuts of the year like the TKE Fog and TKF: Island. Brotherhood was more than community .ser- ice acts and social occasions. For the TKE organization it was an understanding and caring for one an- other that went along with their member- ship. The TKEs were a bunch of different guys who had being in school and being in a fraternity in com- mon, Marriott said. We were a bunch of guys who got along and cared about each other.

' If a living will existed, family members might be saved from that painful decision. A living will was a legal document drawn up by a lawyer. It was for people to decide if artificial support should be used for the coma- tose patient and for how long. Living wills were often a topic of discus- sion and controversy. Some said death should not be planned and others said suffering should be ended. .Students thought differ- ently on the issue. Although neither Jody Pol in and Kevin Elmore had living wills, they had strong feelings about them. I prefeiTed life over death, but I did not want to be in a vegetative state for a long period of time, Elmore said. It was best to discuss what was to be put in the will with family members and loved ones. Anyone who chose to have a living will should have the will respected regardless of parent, minister or spousal intervention, Elmore said. Living wills were prepared in case unfore- seen circumstances anived. 1 did not want to be hooked up for more than two weeks, Polzin said. Living wills were considered for situa- tions in w hich artificial support was needed. By Tami Dodson f o 268 Graduates Seniors .;i« sfl Z LnQLii Bill Boliniicr. Ay.

The most common love triangle was the hometown companion and the school com- panion. While at least one party of the tri- angle knew of the dual love affair, the other two may or may not.

' You had to be stupid to date people from the same town when trying this. Angela Rodier found hiding the truth from two men was difficult. She also learned Esser s rule of never dating two men from the same town was valuable. It was the worst experience I ever had, Rodier said. The two men Rodier dated were acquain- tances on campus. One night, the men were talking at a party when each discovered that the other was dating Rodier. She was invited to one ' s room. Once she was there, the other man came lurking out of the shadows. Rodier never dated either of them again. Although most people did not want to admit their involvement in a love triangle, they did have friends who would testify to their misbehavior. 1 had a lot of friends who were involved in love triangles, but they either got caught or got ulcers from the pressure, ' Cory Clevenger said. While students all over campus tuned into daytime soaps to find their favorite love tri- angle stories, they could easily have found the best stories on campus.

For a bollle it was SI .20 and $ .50 tor pitchers at The I ' ahiis, The Palms had happy hour Monday and .Saturday between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. and to lure customers they also gave tree pi ,a on Fridays. Hudson, who usually went every Friday and .Saturday night said more college stu- dents went to The World Famous Outback, w hile more town people went to The Palms. Banender Carla Bolles said the weekends were more popular at The Palms. Students visited The Palms mostly on Fridays, Bolles said. On the weekends town people came out and stayed a little longer and drank. Aimec C ' hadwick. who was a regular at The World Famous Outback, preferred happs hour because of the social ambience. Last semester, 1 went about every week, Chadwick said. It was really nice because of the atmosphere and fun to go Just for the social standing. Happy hour, according to Chadwick, was not as crowded as it was at night. Weather also pla ed a part for the congregation during happy hours. If the weather was nice, it was usually crowded, Chadwick said. But once in a while when it started getting cooler, people visited the bar just for conversation. Chadwick said that visiting the bar during happy hours gave her the opportunity to mingle and meet friends 1 just sat around, drank, talked, giggled and had a good time, Chadwick said. Chadwick said although bars were fun at night, in the afternoons there was more time to spend with friends. If you preferred the night life that was fine, Chadwick said. Bui the day-scene was more exciting. College students chose happy hour as a way to unwind after a stressful day of classes. We usuall drew a pretty good crowd, mainly college students, Jeff Vanfosson said. It was a good w ay for the students to relax after a hard day of classes. The Pub, which had major renovations, was trying to sec how business went. Fverything was up in the air because we just reopened, Kelly Fgmister said.

On the other hand, egetarians spent their time in the produce department buying fruits and vegetables for dinner. Shopping in this department was a way of life for Amy Miller who had been a egetar- ian for .seven years. I first decided to become a vegetarian lo lose weight, Miller said. I cut out all red meat and ate only vegetables. I liked the w ay I felt alter doing that and stuck with it. Not all people who were egetarians were raised as vegetarians. Both Miller and Lee Ann Barker came from meat-eating families. I was not a vegetarian until a friend told me about the inhumane way animals were treated and killed. Barker said. Barker ' s and Miller ' s parents were against their daughters being vegetarians, but later decided to change their attitude as the stu- dents showed they were committed to being a vegetarian. I used to be a strong meat eater, Miller said. My family, especially my dad, took a while to adjust to my being a egetarian. They were meat eaters, but changed their diet since 1 started being a vegetarian. There were advantages and disadvantages of being a egetarian. Not always getting a balanced diet was one and cost was another. The price for vegetables was high, Miller said. Becau.se the vegetables had to be eaten sooner than other food items, I went to the store more often. Barker said AR A needed a better selection for students w ho did not eat meat. They had things like cheese pizza w hich was okay, but they needed more, Barker said. Even the Chinese food had too much oil and fat in it. It was not very healthy. Chris Imm was a vegetarian for over a year and intended on being one the re.st of his life. Like Barker, Imm chose to be a vegetarian because of animal rights and said it was en ironmentalls better. It was better for your health to be a eg- etarian, Imm said. If you fed the grain to the cows and then nou ate the cattle, it was a double process, ' ou might as well just eat the grain yourself. Imm got his protein from a combination of peanut butter and nnlk. I did research on this. Imm said. It seemed we did not need as much protein as we were told we needed. Being a vegetarian was a popular way of life. Students chose to give up meat for a variety of reasons, whether it be to lose weight or to become healthier.

Volunteers at Camp Quality spent one week every summer with children diagnosed with cancer. Teri Schroer set aside a week every summer to help the patients horseback ride, swiin and eat their meals as a Camp Quality volunteer. ' it gave children a chance to lead a normal life during this one week, Schroer said. These volunteers were obliged to stay in contact with the children throughout the year. There were tons of activities that Camp Quality provided for these children, who oth- erwise would be in treatment, Schroer said. According to Schroer, by spending one week with the children, she was able to let them enjoy life. E R S Wendy Sapp helps her group play a table game called Pass the Pizza. Sapp was one of many students who volunteered time at Headstart to gain experience in early childhood education. Photo by Laura Riedel.

Students and faculty were offered to go on a trip to St. Louis in the southern areas to help with the clean-up, Marjean Ehlers, co-direc- tor of Wesley Student Center said. We pro- vided labor to help people get back on their feet. The center prepared a brochure opening volunteer work for students to relieve flood victims. Services were offered based on the needs of flood victims. We advertised through residence halls and made sure that the Student Senate was aware, Ehlers said. It was totally dependent on students ' response. Kristal Turner went to St. Louis to relieve flood victims. We went to a flood-affected zone and picked up toys, food, pots, pans, furniture and garbage, Turner said. Some houses were flooded up to the second floor and we had to tear down the walls and carpets. Rebecca Lindenbusch said Lee May, Mo., was a community that pulled together and organized itself. Since there was no help coming from the Red Cross during the flood, the community decided to create the Lee May Organization. The Red Cross and the Salvation Army were not able to give supplies to flood victims and these people went scrounging, Lindenbusch said. The money collected from donations went for cleaning-up and renovations. Lindenbusch said her organization was just set up for flood victims. I saw 1 5-year-old girls who had no sham- poo, deodorant or razors, Lindenbusch said. They came and asked whether they could have some towels and things that girls needed. They would be so thankful and hugged us with eyes full of tears. Volunteers took time out of their busy lives to help those in need. By Sue Mohamed 276 Undergraduates 7 f5 r r) t .

Students found they questioned religious be- liefs they had when first coming to college. After looking at all the possibilities of reli- gion, some preferred to become atheists. Atheism was the belief that there was no higher power and the world was created by natural forces rather than through intervention of a divine being. Differing from agnostics in that they did not ask for proof of a higher power, atheists simply believed there was no God. Craig Goad, assistant professor of English, was an atheist until the birth of his son. 1 never had any kind of emotional feeling orconversional experience, until my son was bom severely premature, Goad said. It was truly a miracle that he lived. Daniel Doherty depended on himself for the fate in his life. RELIGION Assistant English Professor Craig Goad, visits church with his son. Goad was an atheist until the birth of his son. Photo by Russ Wevdert. Doherty was raised a Catholic, but never agreed with the ideas of the religion. He became an atheist during his freshman year of college. Somehow religion never seemed right for me, Doherty said. I explored many possi- bilities since high school and things just did not fit in terms of religion. Doherty agreed with the book, Being in Nothingness written by John Geane Paul. In this book, Paul outlined a system of existen- tialism that Doherty liked. Doherty explained what he believed the world and man came from. In the beginning, the world was chaos, Doherty said. Out of chaos came conscious- ness. Through the perception of conscious- ness came man. Doherty said through the growing of con- sciousness, reality evolved. Philosophy Professor Jim Eiswert, handled questions and concerns of religion in his classes. He taught how to distinguish between the meanings of God and being watched by a higher being. I would say that we were, indeed, watch- ing each other, Eiswert said. When a child grew up, he learned the experience of being observed by his parents because his parents were observing the growth process. Eiswert said along with parents watching their children, professors observed col- leagues to see if perfomance and conduct was handled well. During Eiswert s classes, there were also questions about evolution and the creation of the world. If you subscribed to the theory of evolu- tion, Eiswert said. I rose from my parents and my parents rose from their parents, so forth and so on. It could be very reasonable to say that nature itself was a self-generating power. Creation may indeed be an on-going process. There need not be a beginning to creation, but creation will always be. Although students were given the opportu- nity to explore religions, many chose to stick with beliefs they already knew, while others chose to branch off into something more unusual.

Greek women had to find new living arrangements. Must ot the girls who chose to li e off campus found that cheaper living conditions and independence were the best benefits. Nicole Adams of Alpha Sigma Alpha liked her new-found independence. Living off campus made me feel more independent vsiihout a resident assistant watching over me, Adams said. There were also disads antages to living off campus. For many sorority women, the con- venience of being closer to class and a soror- ity meeting place was lost. It look me a lot longer to get to campus when I lived above Molly ' s, Adams said. I .ike many other sonirity women who lived olf campus, Adams lived with se eral of her sorority sisters. Seventeen Alphas lived above Mollys. Included in that living ar- rangement were the executive members of .Mpha. Since they no longer had a sorority chapter room in Roberta, they conducted their rituals and ceremonies such as formal meetings, in one of the rooms above Molly ' s. The loss of chapter rooms was an inconv e- nience for all sororities, but room adjust- ments were made. Sigma Sigma Sigma, Delta Zeta and Phi Mu women conducted their rituals in the Union University Club rooms. Rituals in the Union were not as formal as in our chapter room, but it did not affect sisterhood, Kari Cecil of Delta Zeta said. Cecil said the closing of Roberta affected every sorority member, not just those who planned to live there. Sororities had to find alternative places to post different functions or announcements. The closing of Roberta made it harder to get information to everyone, Cecil said. It was easy to post signs up in Roberta that told people what was going on. Ihere seemed to be a money advantage for most sorority women who lived off campus and the distance tor those who lived on cam- pus. No matter the place of residence, soror- ity sisters still tound time for sisterhood. By Sherri McCorkindale Alpha Sigma Alpha members hold their meeting in a home above Molly ' s.

Not all students frequented the bars. Some chose other activities. .Sandra Run van went to the bar a few times, but preferred hanging out with friends or going to the movies. The bars were too loud and boring. Runyan said. Some of the people who went there were rather rude. Some students were not old enough to get in or had to pay a cover charge on an over- undernight. Raye Lynn Allen was required to pay a cover charge to get in the bar and instead spent time w ith fnends. Allen said she did not feel pressure from others to go out. E en if I was 21 , there would be no pres- sure, Allen said. If I did not want to go, I would not go. Other students thought the bars were too much like meal markets. Mary Garity, who only drank on certain occasions, said the main reason students went to the bars was to find dates. A lot of the girls went to the bars dressed rather provocatively to make the guys hit on them. Garity said. The men ogled the women because of how they were dressed and the women ogled the men for the same reasons. Christina Givler said her religious beliefs were the main reason she was a non-bar person. Gi lerdid not drink alcohol, because she did not like the taste of it. My friends did not drink either, so there was no pressure to try alcohol, drugs, smok- ing or anything of the addicting sort, Givler said. Some students preferred going to the skat- ing rink or bowling alley with friends instead of hitting the bars. By Tami Dodson Christina Givler invites friends over for a study brealt and pizza.

Many stu- dents were faced with working or unusual hours just to be a part of the select group of employed. It was hard to find a decent-paying job, ' Rusty Judd said. If I had the opportunity to make good money, I jumped at the chance. It did not matter if I had to stay up half the night During his shift, which lasts until 2 a.m., Rusty Judd serves beer to a customer at The Palms.

I was simply relieved to even have a job. ' Judd, who was a bartender for The Palms, said his weekday hours interfered somewhat with homework, but the money had been well worth the inconvenience. At first, it was difficult, Judd said. But that changed once I got conditioned to work- ing the 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. shift. I became accustomed to having only four hours of sleep and after a while it did not bother me. In the end, the money I made compensated me for any lack of sleep. Rick Sons was a security guard for Pinkerton and believed that long, often odd hours were also the norm for most students. It was not strange to see some students working into the wee hours of the morning, Sons said. I worked nights and usually put in around 25 hours a week. Although many students worked on cam- pus, others found working at jobs off campus left their breaks filled with long hours. Some were lucky enough to get a job in the field they were going in after college. I worked all holidays, often getting over 40 hours, Sons said. I once had two shifts on Thanksgiving, working from 7:30 a.m. to 11 :30 p.m. straight on. But I was doing some- thing I wanted to do. I had hopes of becoming a police officer in the future. At least, my job was in a similiar field. Students holding down positions they were over-qualified for was not unique, but it was the money the job paid that was ulti- mately important to students.

In college a lot was riding on getting and retaining good grades. Still some students did not spend much time hitting the books. I had so many things going on in my life that I just studied in snippets. Debbie Fannon said. When I went to my children ' s swim meets, I just took my notes with me. Fannon said she spent a few hours a week studying because taking care of her three children occupied most of her time. Brian Whitaker spent about five to six hours per week studying and his spare time was spent with extracurricular activities or watching television. Whitaker said he mastered most class ma- terial through memory and added that he often studied the night before a test to be ready. Although preparation was the key, another factor was also invohed. It depended on the individual, Whitaker said. I knew some people who could study two or three days before a test and still get a C. I studied the night before and got a B. These people looked at me and said, Huh? Whitaker said if he applied himself more to his studies he could be a straight-A student, but he said one must mix a social life into the equation. For Roy Bolar, studying came first, too, in spite of his job at Campus Safety. Bolar, who had all As for two years spent about 1 hours a week studying and often did most of it during the week. Bolar said the key to making good grades was hard work. It was work, he said. 1 really worked hard to maintain a 4.0 CiPA. When a test came up, I just w orked a little harder to prepare for it. Bolar said he just enjoyed school and learning, which was the direct result of study- ing. Students who received good grades real- ized the accomplishment they had made with a little bit of extra effort. By Don Munsch Debbie Fannon studies for a tests.

In some cases, there was simply no money or time to go out on an extravagant date. However, as some students pointed out, a couple could still have as much fun without the money. A cheap date could be as fun if not better, Kristin Huber said. I did not have to be so formal which made it easier to have a good time.

McDonald ' s proved to be the restaurant to take dates when money was tight. If I wanted to do something really cheap, I would take my date through the McDonald ' s drive-thru, Damon Holzapfel said. It just depended on how much money I had in my pocket. Students had a hard enough time paying tuition and rent without worrying about en- tertainment for a date. Sometimes I was running a little low and there was really nothing else that I could do, Jeff Fogel said. It depended on who I was with. If it was the right person, we could be walking in a cow pasture and it would be fun. The average student learned not to expect much and then on those rare occasions when they did get all the trimmings, it made it ail much more special. I did not expect tons of money to be spent on me but it was nice every once in awhile, Jane Taggart said. Taggart said the term cheap dates in- cluded more than just being short on cash. What I thought was a cheap date was when a guy would ask me out, but did not have any real plans for the evening, so he ended up asking ' so what do you want to do ' ? ' ail night, she said. Whether they were male or female, most students agreed a cheap date was just as fun as an expensive one. It was up to the couple to make it a good time. With the right ingre- dients it did not matter how much money they had.

For in- ternational students, the solution to home sickness was host families. Host families acted as a second home to international students and fulfilled their basic needs. Kenji Nakazawa from Japan opted for a host family. His living arrangements were made by John and Teresa Graeff. They were Jehovah Witnesses and met Nakazawa at a Kingdom Hall meeting and decided to be his host family Kenji Nakazawa and John Graffe spend a Sunday afternoon watching a Chiefs ' game.

He had been with the Graeffs since the summer 1993. ' i was happy because we were of the same faith, Nakazawa said. I was satisfied be- cause they took care of me just like my own family. I missed my family in the beginning, but the Graeffs were my new family. John decided to take in Nakazawa because he was afraid for Nakazawa s spiritual wel- fare in the residence halls. I was concerned about the immoral activ- ity like smoking and drugs, John said. It could have happened and damaged him spiri- tually. Hidetoshi Yanagishima lived with Frank and Dixie McGary for seven weeks. During my stay with the McGarys, I learned about family relationships and their culture, Yanagishima said. It was a rich experience. Jim and Lori Schleusner were the host family for Hirotomo Komori. They housed seven Japanese students in the preparatory English program during summers for about five to seven weeks. They had two students living with them each summer. I learned Japanese ways and culture, Jim said. They spoke very little English but we enjoyed having them with us. According to Jim, hosting international students was a way to learn different lan- guages and cultures. It was also the solution for international students who missed home- cooked food and had no friends in a foreign land. International students found compan- ionship.

Some people had problems making it on time for class or group meetings, but others learned to manage their lime well. I was never late because I would always leave half an hour early when I walked, Masin said. Not having a car for classes was one disad- vantage, but not having a car for social events was another. Without a car, dates were harder to come by and many times after asking someone on a date, students would have to ask the person to drive. Some found that it was not problem, while others did. My social life slowed down just a little when it came to traveling long distances, but nothing major, Flint said. Although Flint ' s life did not change much, Masin noticed her friends changed when she began spending more time with her friends who had cars. Socially, my life did not change because I had a friend with a car and the same interests as me, so we did a lot of stuff together and she drove, Masin said. Although not having a car was an inconve- nience, there were advantages to not having a car. Along with providing exercise, most students without a car found they saved money because they did not have to make car payments, pay insurance or buy gas. I used my money I saved, from not having a car, to buy groceries. Flint said. Some students dreamed about owning their own cars, while others made that dream come true. Advertisements about low financ- ing swamped students ' mail as they tried their best to save money to purchase a new car after graduation. Getting a car loan was easy but paying it off was the hard part. If students were lucky, parents bought them a vehicle for a graduation present. Despite the inconvenience of not owning a car and having to bum rides off of friends, students still found ways to get around cam- pus or town, whether it be to the library or the bar.

Measuring 6.6 in magnitude on the Richter scale, one of Los Angeles biggest earthquakes caused $30 billion in damages. According to Time, the earthquake occurred on a fault line that scientists were not able to identify. The movement of the fault line caused the local momitains to rise at least a foot, snapped nine highw ays apart, ruptured an oil main and 250 gas lines, left 3. 1 million people in total darkness and left 40.000 without water. The epicenter, that measured 9.3 miles deep, took down a three-story apartment building in Northridge, Calif., and claimed the lives of many who lived there. Overall the Northridge earthquake claimed the lives of 6 1 people and left many others wounded and homeless. Los Angeles was not the only place in the world affected by ground- shaking quakes. In India, more than 200,000 people died from one of the worst earthquakes in the country during the past half century. Indonesia also suffered damages caused by earthquakes. Brush Fires Winds up to 75 mph helped spread wildfires across California. In 1993 Time reported 689 buildings were damaged or destroyed and 186,900 acres had burned in the Los Angeles area, during the raging infernos. The fires, that injured 84 people, left about 25,000 residents homeless. Arson was the suspected cau.se of the.se fires. The governor of California offered a $50,000 bounty for information leading to the anest and eventual conviction of arsonists. President Bill Clinton declared six California regions natural disaster areas. Firefighters were unable to fight the fires effectively because of the lack of water pressure. In some cases firefighters filled water tanks with water from privately owned swimming pools. The fires were widespread and it was difficult for firefighters to control even with over 6,000 hard working men and women on the job day and night. Cold Weather and Droughts Across the Northeast, the Midwest and large parts of the South, the extreme cold weather in January brought an end to the daily routine. The arctic air with wind chills up to 74 below zero swept across the eastern United States in the wake of a blizzard. Ninty-two deaths were blamed on the cold and snow. Tens of thousands of homeless people sought protection at shelters. There were record lows throughout the Midwest also. Ohio received 30 to 32 inches of snow in two days. At least one place well abo e the Mason-Dixon line was coping with a heat wave. Nome, Alaska recorded temperatures in the 30s when it should usually be sub-zero. The Carolinas to Texas felt the effects of the worst drought since the ones in 1977 and 1986. A dry, hot August followed by an early frost, caused almost more damage than the flood. Crops were planted late across most of the Midwest because of a late harvest in 1992 and spring storms. An earthquake of 6.6 doses five interstate highway s including California ' s major North-South Route. The earthquake claimed 61 lives and caused damages totaling $30 billion. The Associated Press photo. Mud Slides After a devastating earthquake and destructive fires, it seemed mother nature would never let up. The land left expo.sed from the fires became treacherous and threat- ening as the rains riding the subtropical ' Pineapple Express, a weather system from Hawaii, loosened the dirt, forming a thick mud and drenched much of California. Numerous California canyon roads were closed as drains clogged and hea y run-off flooded intersections which made dri ing hazardous. The ram, melting the snow and wind gusts up to 63 mph swept over the entire 840-mile length of California leaving destruction and havoc behind. Residents from Las Flores Canyon and Big Rock Beach were urged to evacuate their homes as the rains continued and the hopes of sunshine diminished as the mud slides continued. 296 Ads Mini M.4g Waters Swamp the Midwest 1 he summer of 1993 br( uj;ht one of the bi fiest luiturul disas- ters in American history as parts of Iowa.

The goal was to reduce costs so all United States citizens could afford medical treatment. The plan would push Americans from pri ate care into less expensive practices such as health- maintenance organizations and reform would also limit the income of doctors, hospitals, insur- ers and drug manufacturers. The health care plan would cut health care costs for high-wage corporations, but costs would increase for small businesses that previ- ously had not paid for health benefits. Health care would be reviewed by a National Health Board to look after inflation and limit increases of insurance premiums. Although there was a major concern that the controls on the medical system would lead to more controls by government, students were confident about it overall. ■ ' It would be a pretty good plan if it all panned out. Troy Powers said. Brady Bill The Brady bill designed to bridle the increase in gun-related violence was a controversial piece of legislation. The bill was named after James Brady, the White House press secretary shot in the assassi- nation attempt on President Ronald Reagan in 1981. The bill mandated a five-working-day waiting period for gun purchases to allow time to run background checks on prospective buyers. The Brady bill met with opposition from the National Rifle Association and citizens inter- ested in maintaining their constitutional right to bear arms. Meanwhile, gun-related iolence was the .second-leading cause of death and mjury in the United States. Despite opposition, the Brady bill passed in November. NAFTA The North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, an agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico helped destroy some barriers which had hampered trade between neighboring countries. President Bill Clinton fought to pass the con- troversial bill. Hillary Rodham Clinton addresses Congress about health care plans. Clinton headed health care reform. The Associated Press photo. One opponent of NAFTA was Clinton ' s ad- versary in the 1992 elections, Ross Perot. Perot told the world the United States would lose jobs and companies to lower income countries such as Mexico. Clinton offered deals such as a North Ameri- can Development Bank in California. He also talked to the Mexican government in efforts to protect the sugar and citrus growers of the United States. There was concern about the extremely low cost of labor and the low minimum wage in Mexico. It would be cheaper for employees to have their products made in Mexico and with no import tax, the companies ' profit would be larger than if it was made in America. ■ It could increase our markets abroad and make us more competitive in the open market, John Lucas said. Whitewater During President Bill Clinton ' s campaign and following his election, his past was investigated by numerous members of the press. What was discovered was a real-estate deal known as Whitewater. The Whitewater incident involved a 15- year-old real-estate and banking transaction that resulted in a considerable financial loss for the Clintons. Investigators looked for in- formation to show Clinton had used his influ- ence as governor and directly interfered with state regulations to a savings and loan which was in danger of going bankrupt, that was owned by James McDougal. While in Arkansas, Hillary Rodham Clinton belonged to the Rose Law Firm. She, although unsuccessful, reque sted forpowerof attorney over Whitewater in 1988. A former White House aid, Bruce Lindsey, argued that this request was not made to become involved in the management of Whitewater. The Clinton ' s did not write off their losses from Whitewater, which consisted of about $69,000. They sold their Whitewater stock in 1992 for $1,000. An investigator was named by the attorney general to look into the scandal and the Clintons ' involvement in it. The one that stood to lose the most was Hillary, who had had a direct link in the business dealings with McDougal and who had signed the papers. 300 Ads Mini Mag Supports NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY And Congratulates the Class of 1994 7515 D Street, Omaha, NE 68124 402-392-1161 SALES SERVICE THE iSIC STORE FOR ALL YOLR MUSICAL NEEDS LEASING LESSONS GtlTARS AMPS - DRIMS SOUND SYSTEMS KEYBOARDS ' - 232-0273 SHOP WHERE THE PROS SHOP 232-61 01 2506 FREDERICK BAND ORCHESTRA IMSTRLMENTS KIMBALL PIANOS LARGE SELECTION OF SHEET MUSIC 232-4476 OPEN: 6 DAYS WEEKLY COTTERTR J EL We Deliver The World VACATIONS ■ BUSINESS - GROUPS INCENTIVES CRUISES 25 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAVEL EXPERIENCE CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED 562-3000 Look For Us Under the Big Blue Awning At 112 West Third.

The Bills wanted to win their fourth straight Super Bowl ap- pearance, while the Cowboys, who were champions in 1992, wanted to see a repeat. The game started out on a high note for the Bills as they held a 13-10 lead over the Cowboys at halftime. However. Jim Kelly threw two crucial interceptions that helped the Cowboy ' s de- fense take over the Bill ' s of- fense. When it was over, the Cowboys defeated the Bills 30- 1 3. The Super Bowl loss for the Bills made them the only team in any professional sport to lose four consecutive champion- ships. Seles Attack In April, 1 9 - y e a r - o 1 d Monica Seles was playing in the Citizen ' s Cup tennis tour- nament at Rothenbaum Tennis Club in Hamburg, Germany when an attempt was made on her life. In the quarterfinal match, Gunler Prache stabbed Seles in the left shoulder with a nine- inch knife. He wanted to ensure Seles would be unable to play, so German Steffi Graf could regain her No. 1 ranking. Announcing that she would not compete in the Australian Open, Seles had not returned to the courts as of March. Her attacker, Parche received two years probation. Students did not understand the attack, but had an idea it would happen sometime. I was stunned, Eric Woods said. But I figured the way athletes were in the spotlight today, this thing would happen eventuallv. World Series The American League Toronto Blue Jays returned to the World Series and claimed their second straight world championship by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies four games to two. This was the Phillies ' first World Series since 1983, but the Blue Jays had the edge over the Phillies with better starting pitchers. However, the Phillies boasted a line-up of big hitters like John Kruk, Dave Hollins and Darren Daulton. This did not stop Toronto though. One man stood out for the Blue Jays as the hero and Most Valuable Player of the series; outfielder, Joe Carter. Carter belted a game wm- ning home run off Phillie relief pitcher Mitch Williams in game six of the series at the Toronto SkyDome. This helped propel the World Series championship north of the bor- der once acain. The Toronto Blue Jay.s celebrate a second straight World Series title after Joe Carter ' s ninth-inning home run.

Angie Housman, 9, disap- peared on Nov. 1 8. Her beaten body was found by a hunter in a wooded area Nov. 27. After Cassidy Senter, 10, disappeared on Dec. 1, her beaten body was discovered in a city alley eight days after her disappearance. Both bodies were left in areas where the killer concealed his crime so the bodies would be found with no evidence. On Feb. 3, Thomas Brooks Jr. was charged with first degree murder, kidnapping, attempted rape and armed criminal action in Senter ' s mur- der. Brooks confessed that he killed Senter when she resisted rape. Police did not believe Brooks was responsible for the murder of Housman. As of March, her murder remained unsi lved. Hazing At Southeast Missouri State University, in Cape Girardeau, a 25-year-old pledge of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity was killed. Police charged 1 1 men in the beating death of Micheal Davis of St. Louis. Davis endured an initiation rite where he ran down a line of fraternity brothers who hit him with their fists. The county coroner reported Davis died be- cause of a blow to the head. One student said it gave a bad image to fraternities and sororities. One bad apple spoiled the whole lot. Brian Weaver of Delta Chi said. Bill Webster Missouri Attorney General Bill Webster pleaded guilty June 3 to conspiracy on two charges of public corruption. Webster later denied he abused government funds in the Sec- ond Injury Fund. With the start of his trial in late August, William Roussin, the lawyer appointed to de- fend the Fund testified against Webster. He said Webster instructed him to give larger settle- ments to lawyers who contributed to Webster ' s campaign and a hard time to those who did not. On Sept. 22, Webster was sentenced to the maximum two-year prison term. George Brett takes his turn at bat. Brett retired after iiis 2Lst season witii the Kansas City Royals.

Israel The Israeli-Palestinian Peace treaty was signed by Israeli Prime Minister Yit hak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, leader of the Pal- estine Liberation Organization in September, ending the war. which began in 1948. They were fighting over the right of Israel to exist and the right of Palestinians to form theirow n Arab nations on the Israeli occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Under the treatv.

The new Arab states would also be free to lorm their own governments and tax systems .Mthough the majorits ol Israelites .ind a large number of the Arabs were in support of the deal, manv people on both sides were critical of it. Jew ish settlers in the occupied states were fearful of what a new Palestinian gin eminent would mean to them.

The 35-year-old music star was investigated for sexual molestation charges made by a 1 3-year-old boy. The Los Angeles Police Depart- ment made the allegations public in early fall. The boy, who was at the center of the charges, was a friend of Jack- son. He was treated to a trip to the World Music Awards in Monaco and .several spending sprees with Jackson. After which, the child claimed Jackson made sexual ad- vances on several occasions. Reaction from members of the Jackson camp and friends was one of dismay. The pop music star had a history of having child friends. Television star Emmanuel Lewis and film star Macauley Culkin had been seen with Jackson on occasion. When the allegations were made, Jackson was on the Asian leu of his Dangerous World Tour, which he cancelled because of addiction to pain killers. Adding to the drama, pictures were taken of the pop star s genitals for identification and evidence pur- poses after the boy described dis- coloration. Many came to the side of Jackson to support him. Long time friend Elizabeth Taylor provided the most support as she stood by Jackson throughout the allegations. Jackson settled a civil suit out of court with the 1 3-year-old boy. The settlement was reported to be over $20 million. Jay Newton believed the allega- tions were part of an extortion plot against the pop star. I didn ' t think he did what they said he did, Newton said. People were just after his money. According to Time. Jackson ' s bodyguards pressed suits against him and a criminal case awaited the cancellation of his tour.

Hairdos, shiort jokes, Dunkin ' Donuts, Bobbette the snow- man, Halloween , Yippee, snowball fights, Ben Jerry ' s or anything ELSE we felt like laughing at, it was a different year ALTOGETHER. I can ' t believe the year has come to an end and I am writing my final farewell to Towerland. Not only have I learned more than I ever imagined, but I made some of the best friends of my life. Although each year with Tower has brought new experiences, the most deserving thanks goes to the editors of the books I learned so much from. Stephanie, in you I saw the first real glimpse of Tower dedication and Allison, not only were you a great friend but you gave me the confidence and knowledge to pursue the ultimate task. But those were past years and 1994 was Something Else Altogether. We met our goals and then some, not only is this the most beau- tiful book ever but look at those big photos. No matter the weekend or struggle, you guys always managed to keep me laughing. I could not imagine a more perfect way to end my Tower experience than with this group. Despite numerous pen fights and smoke breaks, we still had time to actually sleep on weekends and even called off workdays be- cause we were so far ahead. Angela and Fay, what would I have done without you guys? Office four will never be the same. You kept me sane and took care of me in my less than great stages. Although I am sure some people really wondered about us, one thing was for sure we were a great team. Angela, I still can ' t believe it has been three years. We were rookies together way back to that eerie car ride on Christmas deadline and since then you have become one of my closest friends. Not only have you kept me on level ground but whenever 1 needed a laugh I knew where to go. You even went from a design goddess to a copy editor. As always you did a marvelous job with the book, the designs 1994 To wer Editorial Board. Front row: Ruby Dittmer, Angela Tackett. Karissa Boney , Fay Dahlquist and Laura Widmer. Row 2: Jon Britton.

Fay, you are definitely one of a kind. Not only have you made me aware of environmen- tal issues but you bring nev. meaning to the term high waters. 1 will always think of you when 1 drink from an aluminum can. What can I say. you are magnificent and handled Nour job with unbelievable ease. 1 adnnie sou and all your integrity, although I still sa_ rough is where your heart is. Oh. I truly am si)rry abt)ul your suicide puppy. Russ and Jon. where do I even begin? One thing is for sure, you kept the weekends enter- taining. Although at times I wondered if we would all leave in one piece, the year would not have been the same without you two. Whether it was picking photos or grinding at The World Famous Outback, there was al- ways an adventure v hen Russ and Jon were around. Jon you reall) shoukl ditch the hat. hey Russ, look. I didn ' t say her name. Tony, Chris and Laura, the photos in this book are wonderful. Tony, 1 know it was a busy year for you. thanks for giving us your time, we could always count on you to bring us great work. Chris, you always took on tasks and last minute assignments without a com- plaint. Thank you for your never-ending pa- tience and always bringing us creative angles to choose from. Laura. mi deser e a pat on the back. Not only did you put up with those crazy boys in the photography department but you handled them with a country ease to be ad- mired. Thanks defintely goes to you, football is one of the best in the book. Gina. you came on, braved the darkroom alone and even survived my approving. What a year for a rookie. And look at all that you can do: print, shoot and write. Thanks for all of your hard work. Amanda and Ruby, you guys jumped in like pros. You were two of the most dedicated freshmen I have known and fit right in with all the insanity. Amanda, once we got you on a leash you were a God send. You came in on the index and took over where none of us could. We could not have done it without you. Ruby, thanks for all the chocolate, but I soon learned there was more to you than just a food provider on weekends. You always picked up slack without a gripe. If I ever buy you a gift it will definitely he a lifetime supply of Kleenex for your laughing spurts. Kathy, Mike and Sara, you guys handled copy with expertise. The stories shine and I thank you for always staying on top of every- thing. You guys made writing and editing look easy. Mike, I was finally relieved once you decided jeans were a necessity for winter and could finally see again. Thanks for always coming in w ith a smile and keeping us laugh- ing with your Wolf Man rape stories. Sara you are definitely a pro at making hellish story ideas turn into a wonderful Academic section. You have come a long way from a staff w titer to an excellent editor. I will miss your enter- taining Mom stitries. Kath) the People section looks great. As always you stayed on top of e er thing and are one of the most organized people I know. Jason the real-v orld section looks great. Good job. Altht)ugh we raked in the ads maybe next year you ' ll actually have more than 1 2 page to design with. You jumped right in Tower ready to give everything. Thanks for your patience on the dead nights and hard v ' ork on the hectic ones. I would like to thank all of our staff mem- bers, not only did vou gu_ s put in long hours on weekends for only one credit hour, but worked to meet deadlines and sometimes took on the not-so-glamorous tasks. We could not have put this book together w ithout the help of contributing staff writers and photographers. Laura, although I still resent your brain- washing the copy editors with headlines, I wouldn ' t be here if it wasn ' t for you. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement. It seemed no matter the stupid question I asked or dumb mistake I made, you knew the perfect way to reassure me, and always made every- thing seem fine. Thank you for everything. There could not be enough room to give enough thanks to my family for their constant support, understanding and encouragement to do my best. I would not be here without you. I have only reached my goals because of what you have instilled in me. Every opportunity I have been given. I owe to you. Finally, readers this book is for you. We gave our best effort to bring you an accurate Tower with well-rounded coverage. We ap- preciate your understanding with reshoots, and repeated phone calls. We feel confident our effort and your cooperation brought an- other Tower to be proud of I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. Yes, I bummed a few car rides, dealt with my multi-layered-hush syndrome, lost my temper a few times and found i)ut who Roy Rogers was. The memories I take with me are endless and this is one chapter of my life that will neverclose. As I bidfarewell to 94 I wish all the future Towers the best. While we put out the best book ever, one thing I know for sure: this year was definitely Something Else Altogether.

Businesses were still changing in town, as the Wilson Motel closed and reopened as the Show-Me Inn. Peak Entertainment and Gourmet Pleasures offered something ELSE for shoppers, while Value Fair had a grand opening and closing all within the same year. With the completion of the Student Recreation Center controversy began about whether faculty fees should be required. Fans packed into Bearcat Arena TO cheer the ' Cats as the men hosted two MIAA playoff games. The year soon came to an end with events we would always REMEMBER. ' My plan was to build here, to start here with the playei we had and build from that. Obviously I had got some ideas with re- cruiting-a recruiting base that was more local. If you took Kansas City to Des Moines to Omaha and drew a circle around that area, that was where I wanted to get the bulk of our players from. I thought that would create a lot more interest area-wide and it would also help cre- ate interest on campus, ' ' Head Football Coach Mel Tjeerdsma said.
