On September 23 members of the non-academic employees union went on strike. After ten highly charged days, both sides agreed to arbitration. During the strike, there was a fear that the Univer- sity would be forced to close because of a dwindling coal supply. The following is one writer ' s impression of the atmosphere on Factory Street as the Union at- tempted to block the arrival of new coal shipments: Oh yeah, sure, said the little guy with the short hair, sure. He held a piece of board in his hand. It had nails in it and he swung it back and forth when somebody else spoke. There were maybe 50, 60 people gathered around the entrance to Factory Street. Two trash fires were burning from oil drums. The flames made crackling noises. This was the night the University broke the strike. Everybody was smiling. Until the University brought the trucks in, there was really nothing to do except sit around and try to keep warm. And watch the flames lick and curl and sputter. Fire is a funny thing, you know. It awakens things in us that don ' t exist anymore. The campfire. The open hearth. The outdoors. We are not like that now and that is no good. Fire is not a gas stove flame nor is it a Blue Tip Match. But that ' s okay. Maybe we ' ll get a house with a fireplace someday. Don ' t forget the marshmellows. Goddammit, someone was saying. He was angry because so few union men came out to join the lines. The basteds, hissed another. Story by Dovid Blumberg Photographs by Charlie Nye Oscar McCee, president of Local 1699 ot the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), shown here, was largely responsible for main- taining the spirit and con- viction of the striking non-aca- demic employees. I asked the man next to me how many people he thought should have been out with them that night. He folded his arms and spat. Four hunnert. At least. Shit, man he explained, I call up these guys, you know, and their wife, their god- damn wife for chrissakes, gets on the phone and says ' well, Frankie ' s been awful sick, you know, ' or ' gee, he ain ' t been home all day, ' blah blah, blah. Always some pissant excuse. He pawed the dirt with his foot. They broke the union, he said, biting off every word, sure as I ' m standin ' here. The dirty bastards. They all go to the fu- ckin ' meetings and cheer and clap for a goddamn strike. That ' s okay. But when it comes to showin ' how you feel, standing in the lines and getting their little rear ends frozen, no sir, ' I ' m sick. I ain ' t been home all day. ' That kind of crap. What the hell is Sowie or somebody gonna think drivin ' past here and seein ' 20 guys? He ' s gonna laugh, man! He ' s gonna say ' let ' s walk all over these jokers, ' he shook his head. You know, it took a long time to build up this union. And it ' s all over now. Don ' t let anybody tell you the University beat us. Our own beat us. Shit on a stick. The dirty basteds, said someone listening. You ain ' t kiddin ' , mister, was the reply. Basteds. Somebody spat. Everybody waits for the University to make its move. It has to. Reports of no hot water on the South Green filter through and hands are clapped together. Someone who knows, who works in the Heating Plant, says that the University has to have coal tonight. Immediately. Within the hour. Every truck becomes suspicious. There ' s a scab behind every wheel. A ton of coal in every van. At 8:10 p.m. all West Union Street traffic stops. City police cars block the streets in front of Dolen ' s. Noth- ing can be seen uptown. Within seconds three police cruisers pull up to Factory Street and right behind them are three monster vans barreling down Union at 50 miles an hour. A cop waves them into Factory Street. In they go with no slackening of speed. The pickets are dumbfounded. Truck after truck zips by, flaying the road, sending up showers of gravel. Mouths are open. What is disturbing is not that the coal has gotten through, but that the trucks never slowed down. They had orders not to stop. For any- thing. Or anybody. It is 8:20. Traffic is moving again. Moving past 50 men staring down Factory Street. And two oil drums of smolder, the flames having died for lack of fuel. Oscar McCee, the union president, shows up and the workers all crowd around. He looks like an owl. He is offered an egg salad sandwich and politely re- fuses. They love him, they dote on his every word. He gives a little pep talk, prefacing every other sentence with Now, boys, or Well, boys. It is getting late. Oscar has to go home and get some sleep. Exit Oscar McCee. Rumor has it that six more trucks, this time with food, are on their way towards Athens. The largest man there, a veritable catalogue of muscle, calls for volunteers to go find ' em. He gets three carloads and away they go, into the night. Two other men, both old, wiry types, with whiskers like plant roots and wide grins, announce they are go- ing for a stroll down Factory Street. Moments later there are three crashes. When they returned, I asked what had happened. The meaner of the two stroked his chin. Ya know, he drawled, it was a real strange thang. We was jest standin ' there when a bunch a windas jest took off an ' ' sploded. By theirselves! How de ya like that? It was getting late and maybe half of the group had left. A little guy with a peaked hat chewed gum and swung his stick. A police car slowly rolled past and someone wandered into the high grass by the railroad tracks to take a piss. Nothing much at all happened af- ter that. 23 6Hi(l University i804 CLASS GATEWAY Reliqion morahtq and knowledqe beinq necessan} to good qovernment and The happiness of mankind schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged Living. W- earning goals of R E Walk through the hallways, past the potter ' s wheel, library and darkroom. Watch out for the square dance on the patio, the poetrv reading on the first floor and the general bedlam throughout. You have entered South Green =12, the Residen- tial Experimental College at Ohio University. Now entering its second year of existence, R E has evolved through many stages of development, aiming for the ultimate combination of living and learning into one program of education through experience. On paper, it works something like this: a student takes ten hours in the program and another five in tra- ditional classes. Those ten hours are arranged into in- dependent study or group projects dealing with any subject the student wishes to pursue. Things like astrology, or ichthyology (the study of Story by Art Silverman Photographs fay David frishberg fish), poetry, meditation, dance, music, massage, liter- ature, crafts, jogging, renovating log cabins, publishing a daily dorm newspaper (the Rag) or even outdoor survival and gourmet cooking. For the 144 students in the program last year, R E was a learning experience in ways unrelated to the ac- tual academic course work. All decisions, whether for allocating dorm money or throwing a party, were de- cided at town meetings where every member had one vote. But somehow, meetings and classes don ' t convey the spirit of the program and those who compose it. No grades were given for collecting food, clothing and money for victims of the tragic flood at Man, West Virginia. The disturbed and retarded children who visited from Beacon School were no part of an organized class. Neither were the all-night stairwell concerts, the multi-media presentations, the art show or any of the other dozens of things which happen in a community of friends instead of roommates. In many respects, it was a difficult year, with many growing pains. A totally new environment, where one is responsible for him herself, with no one over your shoulder yelling grades or study. Ideas and energies produced conflicts and problems, yet always with the realization that this is to be expected when searching for something new and different. Sometimes, when it was going well, you could al- most forget you were a student in a dormitory and be- gin to feel free and alive in the company of good neighbors. And get involved. Painting the basement walls, making a movie, going camping or dancing or just sharing a cafeteria meal at the semi-communal tables in Nelson Commons. Living and learning became one and the same. And it ' s nice to know you have 143 people to turn to, for a little help or a haircut or a loan. Sitting out in the lounge late at night, drinking cups of tea and dis- cussing the future of the world. Right before the sun rises, run outside barefoot to watch the golden rays fill the sky before a breakfast of plastic eggs and another day of livino in Athens. This year, R E is back again in a little different form. Upperclassmen who have met their housing obliga- tions can form outside living centers in houses or farms, enjoying the freedom to experiment minus the accomodations of a luxurious dorm room. More changes are constantly being made, always decided and discussed by the people who must live with their choices. To the outsider, a look into the world of R E must be a little disquieting. It seems like total confusion inside that building, and everyone knows the R E reputation for parties and other extracurricular activities. But words like party and extracurricular lose their meaning in a somewhat magical world where the only difference between work and play is in your own head. On your way out, don ' t forget to check out the candy machine that was finally obliterated after eating innumerable nickels and dimes. Or the second floor lounge where telephone dials and clock faces are all backwards. Or are they? As you depart, notice the plaque on the building ' s front wall. There isn ' t one. Only a small sign bearing the in- scription our house. Living the spirit of R E All too often, people get so wrapped up in goals and purposes that they never get beyond the talking stage. But for one person, the Residential Experimen- tal College provided the launching for many worth- while projects. Renee George came to Ohio University because of the R E program saying she wanted to be there from its birth; to experience the whole thing. It was an opportunity to have experiences and to evaluate them for yourself, she said. Many of the experiences George had last year were based on her creed of doing things on a people to people basis. While studying the strip mine problem, she became aware of the disaster when a flood struck many small towns and isolated communities in West Virginia. Thinking that somebody ' s got to do some- thing, George began to organize a Flood Relief Fund. Telephone campaigns, collecting at the College would be hurt more by the strip mining than by its abolishment. But we have to keep doing it (working for strip mine legislation) even though they don ' t realize what we ' re doing for them, she emphasized. In addition to her work on the strip mining problem, George has also been active in the Beacon School project, which involves tutors working on a one-to- one basis with handicapped children. The kids there are extremely sheltered, she ex- plained. And the volunteers are bringing a little of the outside world to the students. But the bigger goal of the volunteers is, according to George, trying to get the kids to know someone cares for them. In addition, the busy freshman was also involved with Care Line, a phone-in center for people who need someone to talk with. Claiming she is not interested in the four year de- Cate, a benefit concert and door-to-door solicitation all helped to raise over $800 for the flood victims. It was really, really a good feeling, she related. People just were coming in and helping. I was finding out that people did care, did want to work and people who couldn ' t give time, did give ma- terial things. But the best part, according to George was know- ing it was worthwhile, that the cause was a good one. The flood also caused her to finally determine a stand on strip mining. Her studies on the subject showed the practice to be phenomenal in scope. George lamented the fact that, in her opinion, the vic- tims of the strip mining often did not realize the dan- ger involved, they couldn ' t see that eventually they gree thing, the General Studies major plans on at- tending college this year on only a part-time basis so she will be able to just relax a while. So far, everything ' s been spontaneous, it would just come into my head, I ' d think it out, try it and if it fails, figure out why, George explained. But my head wouldn ' t be where its at if it wasn ' t for R E; I wouldn ' t be as open to community work. Her life, she concluded, has been governed by a fa- vorite quotation: Only a life guided by constant thought can ever gain conquest over the state of nature. Sports Almost everyone who has any interest at all in sports follows the seasons of the two major sports, basketball and football. But little attention is paid to the less patronized sports such as soc- cer and lacrosse. Fans for these games usually consist of friends of the players and a few true sports enthusiasts. But this does not diminish the drive or deter- mination of the team members. They play out of love for the sport, no matter if anyone is watch- ing or not. Here then are summaries of some of the less publicized sports at Ohio University. Two Ail-Americans and an eighth-place na- tional finish highlighted the wrestling season. And, of course. Coach Harry Houska ' s third straight MAC crown. Stumbling through the regular season with a Slory by Sieve Serby Phofogrophs by Andy Bui Nye, Sfe ' P Peferson Charlie disappointing 7-5 dual meet season, there were those who wondered what was wrong with the wrestling team. The team lost to Southern Illinois and Okla- homa in two of the three home meets, not en- couraging for the home folks, even if Oklahoma was the fifth-rated team in the nation. But come time for the conference champion- ships, it was obvious that it was Ohio ' s intention to peak for the meet. The team scored 104 points, breaking the league mark it set a year be- fore, and boasted six champions of a possible 10. Bob Mason (134), Greg Morgan (142), Bob Tscholl (150) and Barry Reighard (190) each won his first MAC title, while Bruce Hosta, employing some techniques from his modern dance class, was winning his third MAC crown, as was 177- pounder Russ lohnson, who went through the year undefeated. Third in the nation as a sophomore, Johnson was the pre-NCAA favorite in his weight class. He shockingly lost his very first match of the na- m m _ ri ' y} - itt •t tionals, and of the season, and was eliminated. However, )oe Zychowicz, the 126-pounder  vho never won a MAC title, placed third, as did blond Reighard, earning for themselves All- american honors and earning for the team its lighest finish in history. Under Houska, Ohio has finished ninth, elev- snth and eighth in the nation in the past three ' ears. And with an able assistant such as fellow All- american Bruce Trammell, the end does not ap- Dear in sight. This year in baseball was one that will be long ■emembered, for it was the first time in tive years Ohio University was not the MAC champ and also, at the season ' s completion. Coach Bob Wren announced his resignation after 24 ears in his position. The Bobcats finished second in the league, bouncing back in the final weekend to come within one-half game of the league winner. Bowling Green, Their overall record was 20-9; their league record was 7-3, with several games being rained out. The thrill is just being able to pla lor it (the championship), according to Wren. And tor the past ten seasons my teams ha e either won it b the tinal weekend, or were playing lor it. i.awOMiirifH uTi M e ■ A 1 } ' U J k 1 I ' m proud of the fact. It ' s what we strove for this season, and what we accomplished, he concluded. The Bobcats were led by three players who were named to the Mid-American Conference All-Star Team. Outfielder Bob Bruno led the team with a .381 average; he was followed by shortstop Dave Sparks (.352) and catcher Steve Swisher (.308). Leading the pitching attack were three Bobcat aces, all of whom ended up with below a 2.00 ERA. |im Bierman led the squad with a 1.12 ERA and a 6-1 record; with the other starters, Doug Diamond (1 .62,4- 2) and Terry Wenger (1.65, 6-2) were responsible for many of the Bobcat wins. But even a winning season could not diminish the loss felt when Coach Wren announced his resignation. In a letter Wren explained he was leaving since With the continuing austerity program here, with cuts in scholarship aid and staff, I feel it impossible for me to maintain the baseball program at the present level, and the level I would like to keep it. Soccer and lacrosse enjoyed their best seasons in Ohio University history. The booters, led by superstar Ed Roberts, who broke all kinds of school records, tallied a 15-2-2 record and finally earned that sought-after NCAA Midwest regional playoff spot they thought they ' d re- ceive the year before. The team ' s success was attributed to three factors: the team ' s summer trip to England, good defense and Tiff Cook. In England, the team played five games, losing one and tying one, but gaining valuable experience. The good defense was evident in some of the re- sults; a 2-1 victory over West Virginia in the last few seconds on a goal by Suliman Shwaeb, the colorful little Topo Cigio of the soccer fields; a 3-1 win over Cleveland State, a 3-2 verdict over Buffalo State and a 1-1 draw with a highly-regarded Akron. Dennis O ' Rourke was the stubborn man in the Ohio goal. And, of course, the well-respected Tiff Cook, whose liberal thinking and closeness with his players created one, big, happy family. However, all was not sunshine. The team bowed to St. Louis, 4-0, in the first round of the playoffs. Even more regrettably. Cook resigned as head soccer coach so he could continue as instructor in the physical edu- cation department and director of Bird Arena, the ice arena. The stickers, a club rather than a varsity sport, did it all themselves, capturing their first Midwest Lacrosse Association Title, breaking six records in the process. The team blitzed through league competition for five straight wins and when the season had ended, Ohio boasted three men on the All-Star team. The team receives no help from the athletic depart- ment. Any money necessary comes from their pockets. Bill Boreland was selected by coaches as the best goalie in the MLA. Other standouts included president and leading scorer Brian Teeple, Pete Guerster and Gil Mulcahy. The coach was Terry McNutt. It was a frustrating, to say the least, year for Coach John McComb and his hockey team. The team fin- ished the Central Collegiate Hockey Association with a 1-13 record. And if that weren ' t bad enough, in a January 15 game against St. Clair, Ohio icer John Jacob was charged with using his stick in a malicious manner when both benches emptied and he was suspended for the season. This shed an unfavorable light on the hockey program. And for the first time in 15 years, Ohio was white- washed by arch-nemesis Ohio State, by 3-0 and 4-0 scores. The team ' s failure to coordinate a power play, and, generally, an offense, was a reason for its downfall. Certainly no one could blame Ohio ' s goalie su- preme, Dennis Haworth, who often resembled Custer at his last stand. Ohio ' s lone win was a 5-3 triumph over Ohio State in the third league game of the year, following 5-2 and 10-7 losses to Bowling Green. The Buckeyes bounced back for a 6-4 win in Columbus. St. Louis beat Ohio twice, 9-3 and 7-5, BG won again, 6-2 and 8-2, St. Louis struck again, 5-3 and 4-1, and then Ohio State ' s two apalling shutouts com- pleted the regular season. In the playoffs, Ohio was fourth and last, losing 7-1 to Ohio State and 7-6 in overtime to Bowling Green. Left-wing John Ranalli was the leading scorer, tal- lying 12 goals and four assists in the 14 games. Captain Ron Ivany and Pete Maybury each scored 13 points.

J. Bednorski Arf Worfc by Erich Bornes Gay lib comes There are an amazing number of things a writer has to look out tor when he ' s writing about anything sex- ual, in this case homosexuality, which tend to make these types of stories difficult to write. Simply put, there is an unintentional ease to pun in these types of pieces and although I don ' t mean to, look again after you read this and you ' re bound to find a few. But writing is not so different from talking and it is easv to say things to Rob Schnitzer you wish you could take back. We cross Court and Union Streets, heading for Baker Center. A male student passes, glances for a moment at both of us, and then returns his gaze to the street ahead. Rob, meanwhile, keeps on looking at the guy, even after he passes. Then he turns to me. Did ou see that? I look at him. He looks at me and we know damn well-but nothing happens. In New York, I could have picked him up, but in Athens . . . And his voice trails off and I ' m left there wondering if I can really risk looking him square in the eye the rest of the evening. I ' m getting tired of fighting this whole thing, look- ing for guys. In New York City things are different. When he looks back at me with that kind of look, shit, if he did that in New York . . . Athens will never reach its true cruising potential. He graduated last March and went back to New York. The last I heard he ' s writing porno novels with other men, most of them straight. Rob writes that many of his co-workers don ' t have much to do with sex anymore and the work there doesn ' t do much to him either, he sa s. He did make a gay film in upstate New York just after leaving Athens and since his de- parture every time he writes to friends, he asks about this article, worrying perhaps that it will be too much like the radio forum he participated in with lesbian Brick Malone before leaving. lesus Christ, people calling in and asking if homo- sexuals have orgasms, Rob says in a pitched voice, his right arm rising in what is usually his most obvious sign of anger or frustration. The only difference be- tween what I do and what a heterosexual does is who I go to bed with. He tells, no he warns me, not to ask any questions I wouldn ' t ask if I were exploring heter- osexual relationships, and considering I can ' t figure not only what to ask him but what to ask a straight person, I hear the advice, but it is of little use as a guide. But there is nothing mystical about Schnitzer. The world looks for some distinguishing characteristic that sets apart the homosexual from us but with Schnit- zer, it doesn ' t work. People meet him and later, when told he ' s gay, they look again and say, He doesn ' t look gay. Maybe then, remembering they are liberals and free-thinkers who are quite ready to accept any- one, they tack on, Of course, how would I know just by looking at him. He doesn ' t bother me. This doesn ' t pass Rob ' s notice, but he seems to be beyond that now. Every day, I can be a little freer about it. He terms himself a Stage Three homose- xual, one beyond defending his gayness in marches or organizations, but just content to admit, accept and not regret his sexual flip of the coin. Stage Two gays, he says, are those who march, or- ganize and flaunt their styles, and by doing so, open themselves to ridicule. Some people just love being oppressed-the Jewish mother kind of thing, ou know. But not all the activitists, the radicals, are like to Athens that. Let ' s just say they ' re very aware of it. Schnitzer ' s parents are cognizant of Rob ' s gayness too, and have been since his second ear at the Uni- versity. He recalls that they said it was o.k. They said ' we still love you, do you want to see a doctor? ' When I was a sophomore, the guys around the dorm noticed I wasn ' t doing much with women and wondered why not. The started spreading nasts rumors about me- which by the way, were correct. But I used it to my advantage, he recalls. I v ent to my RD and asked him, ' How many people do you know who want to live with a homo? ' He said, ' Yeh, you ' re right, ' and I had a single the rest of the year. His freshman year, Rob did nothing. He says he still wasn ' t admitting his gayness. The next year I knew for sure and someone I knew in theater introduced me to some people there. You know, when ou ' re in the- ater, you tend to meet people. Still, the University has more marching men than boys in the band, although Schnitzer wouldn ' t nee- cessarily buy that opinion. Take two students, just let ' s make up two, Eddie and )oe. Eddie and )oe are fairly typical, fashionable long hair, business majors from Dayton, they like to go uptown on Friday night and pick up girls, they like to go to football games. Ed- die has a girl, but )oe can ' t stay with a girl too long, he has almost a hostile reaction to them. In time, he could become gay. If you discover your best friend is gay and he tries to seduce you, well you might just respond. We meet every once in a while. Rob always invites me to his apartment, oddly enough above Kip ' s Bay, but fearing what these meetings may connotate, I re- fuse. We meet in large open rooms with people around and still some rumors float around about me. There are 3000, do I hear 4000 gays here, in all stages. Latency? I don ' t know, a great number. It ' s that people are not sure of themselves. People, looking at their roommate and wondering, ' why am I feeling this way, what is this feeling I have, ' he explained. Schnitzer doesn ' t stop talking once he begins. Much of what he says is not offered because I ask, but be- cause he wants to tell Athens what he thinks, even though he is not in Athens anymore. I hate to admit it ' s been a fascinating interview, because I ' m afraid people will begin to think . . . Well, that ' s what can happen. A little kindness ■r ' ' , ' • T little love It doesn ' t take much, just a couple of hours a week; but for those involved, it may make up a lifetime of happiness. For the students who volunteer each week at either the Athens Mental Health Center or the Galli- polis State Institute bring something very special to the patients they visit. Sometimes sadly enough, they are the only outsiders a patient will see and so the time spent becomes even more valuable. A friendly smile, a helping hand and sincerity are all that it requires and the benefits are mutual, a friendship that ' s unique from all others. At the Athens Mental Health Center, the student volunteer program has two phases. Under one, the Resident Volunteer Program, students actually live on the wards with patients. The purpose, according to Story by Mike McGraw, Linda Wenmofh Photographs by Charlie Nye Larry Lankas, volunteer coordinator, is two-fold; to provide clinical experience and also to be a means of financial aid for the students. The program started with Mrs. Cox in the Center Office. As Director of Activities Therapy, she felt hav- ing the students here would give a res pectability to the wards, according to Lankas. We acted as a pilot project for the state and so far, it ' s working out very well. The students work 1 5 hours a week, 1 hours in their major area of study, such as music or occupational therapy. They spend an additional 5 hours weekly working directly with the patients on the ward in which they are staying. The more visible and numerous program for volun- teers at the Mental Health Center is the Monday and Thursday night visits by students. A bus operates between Baker Center and the Men- tal Health Center, eliminating the long and mostly up- hill hike, thereby making visits possible even in in- clement weather. The cost of operating the bus is covered by an allocation from the University ' s Student Activities Board. Once there, the students first meet with the social worker for the ward on which they volunteer. They then proceed to the ward, where, on a one-to-one basis, they hope to make the patients ' day a little less dreary, a little happier. Activities on the wards range from just sitting and talking, to checkers or softball. It is also possible, in some cases, to take walks with the patients or to stop down at Occupational Therapy to work on a project. But mostly it ' s just being there, coming back week after week, knowing your patient is looking forward to the visits and a little bit of sunshine in their lives. The volunteers are involved in other activities with the patients, such as picnics, visits to the dorms or trips in to watch a baseball game. We ' re trying to have fewer live-in patients, Lankas explained. We ' re attempting to have more out patients, thereby reducing the stigma of the place and encouraging people to come in earlier to seek help. One way of encouraging this is to have more activ- ities in the community and the University. Lankas revealed that at first the program did meet with some resistance from the older employees at the Center. But, he said, the head of the Mental Health Center, Dr. Harry Chovnik was definitely in support of the program, since he likes the idea of college stu- dents being exposed to this particular problem of society. The people here were starved for attention, Lan- kas related. These visits give them something beyond the routine, something to look forward to each week. As a special project, a group of volunteers spent a weekend cleaning out a flood-stricken home of a patient, who was later able to return home, once it was restored. For this project, and the overall program, the Athens Mental Health Center volunteers were recognized as being one of three finalists by the National Center for Voluntary Actions, in a competition which involved over 138 groups and individuals from the entire United States. But recognition or winning awards is not why the students voluntarily give up some of their time and love. It ' s all made worthwhile when a patient in- troduces the volunteer to someone saying, This is my friend. The program at Callipolis is similar in nature, except that the visits are done on Saturday morning. Pat is going to teach me to count this week! They ' ll be here Saturday. Are the hippies going to come to my cottage? These are some comments heard at the Callipolis State Institute as residents ant- icipate the weekly visit from Ohio University student volunteers. The Callipolis State Institute Volunteer Program (CSIVP) began its second year of service last fall and had an average of 35 volunteers each vv-eek. The pro- gram was begun by David Stern, president of the Council for Exceptional Children. Three years ago, Stern explained, about 10 spe- cial education majors started going to Callipolis, and after a while we decided to try to get a full program into effect. At first I had mixed emotions. I was curious, appre- hensive and excited, said this year ' s student director. Ken Hall. Afterwards I was completely psyched out, it was really me. Not everyone has 2000 friends. The Institute has approximately 32 cottages with about 60 residents in each cottage. With such facilities as a farm, power plant, laundry, hospital and a store, it is partially self-sufficient. The residents at Callipolis range from the custodial, or those confined to bed, to The job started quite by accident, he volunteered to help at a fair at the Athens Mental Health Center and it evolved into his being hired as Coordinator of Volunteer Activities. But for Larry Lankas the events have literally changed his life. I was fired of just reading about things, I wanted to do something, the for- mer Vista volunteer stressed. This job has changed my whole life. In addition to the student volunteers, Lankas is also responsible for groups within the community who wish to help at the Center. This, he explained, often involves a lot of politicing in order to get anything accomplished. We ' re trying to get away from the once a month type of volunteers, to get the groups more involved, he explained. We ' re hoping to have more active programs rather than just playing bingo on the wards. Besides helping patients, there is another purpose to the volunteers, accord- ing to Lankas. One of our goals is to get a large number of people exposed to what is going on at the Center, to see how we ' re getting away from custodial care more towards out-patient status. This helps to reduce the stigma of a ' mental health center ' and encourages people with problems to seek help earlier than they would otherwise. Lankas took the job because he genuinely likes people. He went on to ex- plain I look at the patients here as equals, as people who are just temporarily not functioning in society. This is their home for now, and I try to make it just a little more pleasant, Lankas said. The location of the Center is ideal for Lankas since he feels he has to be near a university to function effectively. It ' s too easy to get settled and criticize what ' s happening, he explained. I like to be near the pulse of youth, to know what is actually happening and taking place. For Larry Lankas, a love of people and a desire to help those in need will al- ways be what ' s happening. the educable mentally retarded and the pseudo re- tarded, or those who are emotionally or culturally deprived. University volunteers provide many different pro- grams for the residents to participate in on Saturdays. An orientation program held each week acquaints in- terested students with the program. The art therapy program gives the people a way to express themselves, commented Terri Pakuli, pro- gram co-chairman. Volunteers in art visit three locked wards and two open wards and hold sessions in the morning and afternoon. Materials worked with in- clude paints, clay, weaving with a board and nails and embroidering. Many of the articles are sold at art festi- vals and products were also sold at last year ' s Ohio State Fair. Volunteers in the music program visit 12 cottages, working basically with locked residents, older resi- dents who can ' t get out, and children. A band com- posed of 13 residents has also been formed by Dale Bechtel. The tutoring program works with residents on a one-to-one basis. Children who attend school during the week receive extra help with their work, while older individuals are taught things like printing their name and telling time. Recreation for the residents ranges from Drop the handkerchief to soccer. The program teaches simple motor skills and, for more capable patients, skills that can be used in organized games such as football and baseball. The custodial program works with the severely re- tarded, who are in bed most of the day. They are taught primary movements of the arms and legs, sense of touch with the use of material-covered ball oons and conveying feelings with facial expressions. Anything from the modern breakdown to the conventional box step can be found in the Dance Therapy Program. Rhythmn patterns are also taught to any resident who wants to participate. No one can describe the thoughts and feelings of the volunteer, but how can one really describe the look on a small girl ' s face when she is shown how to make the eyes of a pumpkin or when an older lady who looks like one ' s own grandmother, puts her arm around you and thanks you for being so nice? Perhaps it can best be summed up as one volunteer said, Where else should I be on Saturday other than at Callipolis? - aa An ode to the Arts Great modern Sphinx the library newly kneels worshipping Claude Sowle ' s house— imposing yellow lantern that it is.

Steven y as Phofogrophs by Andy 8urnss The trials of our love, have been many and close In between. Our way, has been stormy and rough, except for the few oasis of happiness which dot our dark and brooding love. These few pockets of happiness have given us the strength to overcome, dodge, side-step, and out run the unfriendly traps set by friendly people. These traps in the form of mental demons; demons that have been sent to torment and punish our souls for not accepting the accepted. Demons sent by family, friends, and people we don ' t even know. These demons who were supposed to be the firemen for our love, have only fanned the flame when it might have died a natural death. That thought is only academic now. For the flame lives, burns, directs and thinks. This flame is hot enough to burn away the impurities caused by the imagination of others and hot enough to keep our love clean and pure. Our love, only the two of us will ever understand. This flame has pushed us out and over the limitations man has tried to impose on us. This is the flame that makes us run, fugitives from two different fantasies who have dared to love in reality where love is prohibited yes we run we run from hands; grabbing hands, ripping hands, hands that belong to grotesque faces, faces with hands growing out of their mouths, out of their frightened mouths, hands that try to pull us apart. Faster we run, from stones that bruise and dent our armor of love. Stones made of hard looks and stares. Our way has been stormy and rough, the thorns hidden beneath the path we travel cut deeply into our shoeless feet, but still we continue towards that goal, a goal that lies at the end of an endless road.

Many return to Athens, Ohio in the fall. Some come to pay a visit to old friends or that favorite prof. Oth- ers stop by their frat or sorority, to see how it has changed the past years and maybe kick in $10 for their social fund. But those who returned this fall may have felt some- thing missing. The title of the weekend had changed from Homecoming to Oktoberfest. Center Program filled Union Street in front of their Baker offices with booths and beverages which took the place of the pa- rade. And though there was much missing, the addi- tion was memorable. Ohio University has had its fair share of alumni returning, but Homecoming, Oktober- fest or whatever, 1971 had the University ' s top prize- a shapely brunette who had returned to the school ' s faithful after capturing the hearts, applause and admi- ration of thousands across the country. For on Sep- tember 7, 1971 Laurie Lea Schaefer was crowned the darling of America ' s beauties— Miss America. She wasn ' t the only beauty queen on campus for the weekend though, for Mr. Gyro ' s stunts won him the accolades of 300 in the campus ' first Mr. America contest. It was the culmination of guerilla theater and other activities all week which sounded Ms. Schaefer ' s arrival. I never had the occasion of pleasure to meet the lovely Ms. Schaefer, but yet I feel like I know her well. It ' s funny, maybe even slightly absurd, but Schaefer, the epitome of American beauty without a doubt taught me a lesson not found in any classroom. It ' s a lesson that ' s fairly obvious to students of American journalism; an intangible lesson that history books can never capture; a lesson that only human nature can. Homecoming I can remember well the night of Schaefer ' s corona- tion. Her emergence into the final ten bracket caused my old man to chime: ' If she wins or finishes high, it will make a nice story. Ya, I retorted, We could really embarrass her. She won and we did, though at that time it was never my intention nor was it when we printed the ar- ticle which Newsweek said told eye-brow raising tales about her personal life. That was mid-November but the beginning was nealy six weeks previous with Becky, a friend who sometimes has the whim of the fantasy but knowledge of the actuality. It was Becky who began the chain of events. Becky knew Schaefer through a mutual friend, and of course Miss America was always the center of chuckling when two old acquaintances returned to Ohio University from summer vacation. But Becky was not distant from Miss America like most— in fact, she said while Schaefer didn ' t own any jeans, she sure wore enough of mine. While Becky told me a number of intimacies of the life of Laurie Lea Schaefer, most intriguing was her ac- quaintance with Cinny Thomas. The pair, sorority sis- ters, had lived in Howard Hall and had been friends for several years. Both lost in beauty pageants. How- ever during their later days at Ohio LIniversity their courses took sharp turns. Schaefer stayed in the con- test route and lost and lost before finally gaining a pre- liminary victory. Thomas turned to politics, became the president of Ohio University ' s Young Socialist Al- liance and was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I knew Cinny through an economics course. Most who knew her agree Cinny was soft-spoken and sin- cere. A staff member, Susan Reimer, queried her about her former friend for a news feature she was getting together for Schaefer ' s October 29 arrival. In you wouldn ' t want to print this but commu- nications, Thomas said Miss America, 1971 had a drinking problem during her first two years as an un- dergraduate and there was some question about al- lowing Schaefer to pledge. She use to drink an awful lot, Thomas said. Thomas ' comments served to stimulate our curios- ity. Becky had previously noted several private insights into Schaefer ' s life though I promised her she would never see it in print. But as far as Susan Reimer was concerned, Thomas ' account was disconcerting. A former Junior Miss finalist in Pittsburg, Reimer was planning to defend Schaefer, her puritanical views and the institution. I only asked her to do a fair, honest ac- count of the former student— neither a pedestal or gut- ter job. She agreed and I still believe that is what we printed-an honest, balanced revealing story of a woman conservative in thought, but like most 21 -year- olds, liberal in actions. But apparently America, and most definitely Athens, Ohio, was unwilling to listen to material, however academic, we judged to be in the public interest. Even the established press, while re- porting the controversy, never touched on the essentials. Maybe it ' s understandable, expecially in light that the most uncomplimentary friend, to use The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer ' s terminology, was uniden- ' ified. This woman discussed Schaefer ' s private affairs and in a signed document said she saw Schaefer with a packet of birth control pills in October of last year and Schaefer admitted to her she was using them. The source-a disappointed, jealous beauty contestant who was over-envious of Miss America laurels? Highly unlikely since she was the same woman who in the ar- ticle praised Schaefer for her thoughtfulness as a big sister. Pam Artin, Schaefer ' s little sister in the sorority, asked to remain anonymous to avoid any con- frontations since Schaefer originally planned to stay the night of her Athens visit with her. It was Artin ' s tes- timony that caused roughly seven-tenths of the letters and verbal communiques to contend it in bad taste. A sauerkfouf eafmg contest, games of chance, bcxJy painting booths, o kissing con- test, refreshments ... oil were on attempt by Center Program BoorcJ to revitalize and re- vamp the dying traditions of Homecoming. It ' s doubtful it anyone had ever witnessed the news- paper being gobbled up so quickly. The word had spread to some circles that we were going to print some uncomplimentaries on Miss America. I somewhat anticipated the reaction and needing rest, I sought refuge at a friend ' s house. Schaefer had a 3:30 p.m. press conference scheduled and I wanted to look sharper than I felt. It took only 30 minutes after the paper hit the Athens streets before we got calls. First the Toledo Blade. UPI. AP. The Cleveland Plain Dealer. And a few others whose interest was not journalistic, but rather Miss Americanistic. More said they knew Laurie Lea Schaefer. I still didn ' t. She had cancelled her press conference be- cause of her late arrival. I ' m told by a friend that she initially refused to appear during any of the activities, but was persuaded by the Miss America pageant people who realized the contract obligations with the sponsoring Athens National Band. Schaefer then offered to hold a press conference as long as The Post was elsewhere. The University, to its credit, would not arrange it. Pam Artin finally met Schaefer at the Ohio Univer- sity Inn. Schaefer told her she was going to sue. You know it ' s true, Artin replied. This is the best time of your life. Live it. Both broke into tears, grasping each other while sobbing. You ' re right, you ' re right, Schaefer said. Besides Reimer ' s article, our Miss America coverage included my editorial which stated our intentions— nei- ther to attack or embarrass Ms. Schaefer— but simply to scrutinize her puritanical, apple pie comments and present the Miss America contest as a discriminatroy institution . . . that perpetuates this nation ' s crass comercialism and sexist ideals. Opposite the editorial page, we reprinted Middle America ' s thoughts, that is if The (Columbus) Dispatch represents Middle America. As port of the onti-Miss Amenco ochvities, a Mr. Americo contest wos held, along with guenlla theoter productions Before o crowd of over 300, Mr. Gyro won the Crown of Mr. Amenco. It is refreshing to hear Miss America voice her con- victions especially when most headlines are grabbed by the lil es of )erry Rubin, Joan Baez, Margaret Mead, Ramsey Clark and John Lindsay, who are so positive the New Left and the drug culture constitute the wave of the futute, The Dispatch said. When Laurel Lea Schaefer returns home (Colum- bus area) this weekend let us see more than a young and talented beauty. Instead, let us recognize and appreciate the fact that Miss Schaefer represents the epitome of human, kind, wholesome, reverent and uncompromising in fundamental standards. But the Miss America story was only one of several unpleasantries to greet Miss America. If she would have been available she could have witnessed a series of guerilla theaters presented by feminists which cli- maxed with elfish Mr. Gyro winning the Mr. America contest. He beat the likes of Mr. Suicide, Mr. Natural and other assorted personages. But possibly Schaefer ' s most shocking moment was during her introduction at the football game. She was met with a round of boos, that was finally drowned out by alumni applause. Here was Miss America, speaking in front of 18,000 people— students, faculty, friends and alumni. She gave an award to a trustee and a scholarship to an academic department. She almost broke down crying, but righted herself. When she re- turned to the stands, she clenched her widowed mother, and cried. There ' s something about Ohio University and Athens that makes one want to return. t could be the congestion at Court and Union streets at the noon hour with students hurrying through the downtown area. It might be the stories of Athens, the witchcraft and dope tales— and the influx of the Eastern influence on the small Southeastern Ohio Appalachian locale. Laurie Lea Schaefer may some time return to Athens. She told Pam Artin that she would like to, without any fanfare, and visit her friends. So enter, that daily thou mayest grow in knowl- edge, wisdom and love. I would hope some day I could meet Laurie Lea Schaefer. Talk with her. Explain to her. I would hope that as I learned so did Schaefer and the Columbus, Chios throughout the nation. So depart, that daily thou mayest better serve thy fellowman, thy country and thy Cod.

In the spring the Athens cops have the clubs and gas, in the winter they become targets for snowballs and in the fall they arrest jaywalkers— $10 and court costs. Regardless of the sea- son there are always the drug busts. University Security cops don ' t have to work under the same stigma. How much animostity can you at- tract when you spend the night shaking door knobs? Like the Athens cops, Security has a fascination with drugs. An unwritten agreement draws a fine line be- tween the campus and the city where the cops are concerned. Security handles the campus drugs while the Athens PD watches over the city. If you have a choice, stay on the campus.

With the Athens police a drug arrest usually means court action, unless you can cough up enough information about your friends. I was at the Athens station one night in the fall talk- ing with Beasley, the night sergeant, trying to warm him up for some inside information while he was trying the same with me. A call came in from the Buckeye Mart for a pick-up on a couple of shoplifters. He asked me if I wanted to come along which I did, but we never made it to the Buckeye Mart. He circled the block and as we were coming up Court Street his radio crackled to life rasping some- thing about needing some help on Depot Street. FLASHING BEACON ... no siren. He spun the squad car around in the center of Court and Union and roared down a narrow alley of bumpers and side panels missing them by inches. He must have hit 60 m.p.h. heading down West Union jerking to a stop be- hind a house and sprinted up about fifty crumbling steps with a Mace can in his hand. I waited a few min- utes and then when up to the house. Two youthful fig- ures emerged from the door. A drug bust. Inside two other cops were methodically searching the house. Apparently they went to the house to in- vestigate a complaint about a noisy stereo. When they knocked on the door, a voice invited them inside. A mistake when a bag of dope was sitting on the table. In the confusion that followed recognition someone leapt through the front window and escaped on foot after jumping 15 feet from the porch to the ground. The house search produced a couple ounces of mari- juana, a three foot hooka and a dozen syringes. Smell this, a cop told me handing me a brass pipe. We got some good stuff on them. I ' d rather be doing this kind of work any night than cruising the street. While drugs provide a diversion for the cops the street cruising keeps them posted to the patterns of the night people. While riding in the backseat of a cruiser I watched the two cops in the front point out shadowy faces along Union Street. You know who he is? one cop asked the other. Yep he lives on West Washington. I asked them about their identification work. Smil- ing, one said it was part of his job to know who and where the people are. Which people? The people, he shrugged. One of the main clearing houses of the Athens po- lice station is Charles Cochran. Many picture the cap- tain as a man who has a stranglehold on the city and students. One thing Cochran is, is dynamic. He rushes around the police station fired with a responsibility to keep things running smooth. Demonstrations, dope and catcalls rub against his grain, and disrupt the smoothness. It is exceedingly hard for him to accept the college demonstration and in those situations he often strikes out with arrests leaving reason and ra- tionale for another day. At times I ' ve known him to be incredibly sincere and cooperative, but he ' s quick tempered and a slave to his own reason and advice. Cochran grew old at the police station. When he came on as a patrolman in the 1950 ' s he had a full head of hair, but his habit of running his hand over his head when he ' s tense has left a shining furrow down the center of his head. On most counts Cochran is a cop of a previous dec- ade. A time when a joint was called a reefer and was smoked by jazz band musicians. Drugs bother him, and he ' s quick to deal with offenders with a night in his jail and testimony in court. He knows when drugs are in the city, which is always, and knows who the big dealers are. He has information coming in from the campus from informers, sometimes volunteered, sometimes through bargains. One night at the station a girl walked in who knew the cops and the dis- patcher. After making small talk she pulled an evelope out of her purse and gave it to the dispatcher saying, Oh, here ' s my report. See that Charlie gets it. There ' s even a kind of respect for the dealers who are good. After several agents from West Virginia had arrested a dealer on the South Green, one cop told me they had been trying to get her for years, but she was too smart. You had to respect her, he said, she just made one bad mistake. Because Cochran is a cop of the past, dissension has spread through the department. There are two camps with the police: one which sides with Cochran and one that whispers over coffee about his mistakes. A year ago the groups were about equal in size, but now the whispers are growing louder. Charlie ' s o.k. sometimes, a cop told me, it ' s just that sometimes he flies off the handle and makes mis- takes that give us all a bad name. The cops have been striving for professionalism since the 1970 riots when the University and the city were split in half. Many of Cochran ' s critics see him destroying the professionalism they are trying to es- tablish. By June the Athens PD looked to the coming summer for a solution. With police chief Fred James ' health deteriorating it became apparent that a new chief would have to be chosen. Only Cochran and the four sergeants would be eligible for the promotion. The choice will determine police posture to University and city problems for years. The cops were waiting. Copfain Charles Cochran looks on as the supply of drugs confiscoted by the Athens Po- lice Department is destroyed. Cochran, on the force since the 50 ' s, has seen the growth of drug usage from isolated incidents to whot he considers a major problem. II Attaining the Impossible There ' s a certain aura which seems to surround the theater. A certain magic, a certain mystery. Whatever it is, it helps to weave a cloak of fantasy around the audience and actors, engulfing them into the story which is being told. One measure of a play ' s success is how involved the audience becomes with the plot, whether what happened on stage moved them to laughter, or to tears. By this measurement, the Ohio University Theatre ' s production of Man of La Man- cha was indeed a success. The actual work on the play began more than a month before the first performance. Every night all of the people involved with the play met in the Cline Building studios for a sort of pre-rehearsal. ln addi- tion to learning lyrics and lines, the group trained for the ordeal and strain of performing the play. Under the direction of choreographer Barrie Coy, a series of exercises were done in order to build up the stamina of each person connected with the show. The ex- ercises ranged from simple ballet steps to rigorous body training movements. Also included in the nightly routines were voice training exercises led by director Bob Winters and mu- sical director Rob Tideman. These were done by eve- ryone, even those with non-singing roles, including staff people. The purpose, besides the actual voice benefits, was to join the group together into a community. This feeling of a community is what prompted Tideman to work on the play. Tideman, an English ma- jor, stated that the feeling of family that draws eve- ryone connected with the play together is one of the best things about working on such a production. During these pre-rehearsals, the cast members also discussed the feelings behind the roles they were to play in order to better build the characters. At the time the Cline Building exercises were being held, work began on the costumes and sets for La Mancha. The costumes, which were designed and made un- der the supervision of Roger Drake, ranged from the simple rags of the prisoners, to the rich costumes of the guards, to the incredible knights of the mirror. All Story by Lindo Wenmoih Photographs by Andy Burriss dream ' Bob Winters, play director, shown here was assisted by stoge nxinoger and ossistant director Ken Frisch and associote director, Karen Kroause; other staff people were musical di- rector Rob Tidemon (upper right} and choreographer Borrie Coy (right). work on the actors ' garb was done in the Theatre workshops by students. The same hold true for the set construction, all of the work was done by students. Paul Staver was in charge of this facet of the play ' s production. The set, designed by Winters, consisted of a raised wooden doughnut type stage, under which actors not in the scene would hide, so that all the actors were actually on stage throughout the entire performance. In addition, a long ramp was constructed, giving the setting more of a feeling of being a dungeon, the de- sired effect. After two weeks, the rehearsals moved into the Fo- rum Theatre. Here the actual blocking of the actor ' s movements and run throughs of the play began. The company started to blend together into one fluid mass; the actors began to become their roles. One of the most difficult and demanding roles in the play is that of Aldonza, the whore who is trans- formed into Quixote ' s Dulcinea. In the Ohio Univer- sity production, this part was played by Diane Palmer. Palmer an acting major in studio, had previously been l imited to playing kookie types, the second fe- male lead, she explained. But under Robert Hobbs (director of Studio) acting became a whole new thing and it changed my usual parts to younger, more chal- lenging roles. The curly-haired actress went on to say that this is what prompted her to read for the part in La Mancha. I wanted the role partially for an ego trip but I also wanted it to prove something to myself-to get the part and then to fulfill it, she explained. It was a really big stretch for me. Making the character come alive required a great deal of background work by Palmer, and all the ac- tors. For Palmer, this entailed working within the script to discern where Aldonza came from, what kind of background she had, why she was in prison in the first place and why she is like she is. All this was re quired. Palmer felt, in order not to make Aldonza the typical whore-type. Aldonza uses whoreishness as a pretense, Palmer explained. She ' s afraid to show her true innner feel- ings, afraid to be exposed and then possibly hurt. She has the capacity to love and care but because of her treatment, becaude she ' s been hurt, she doesn ' t express her love outwardly. All this begins to change in the play, according to the leading lady, when Don Quixote, played by Jon Freeman, enters Aldonza ' s life. What he (Don Quixote) does is to expose this in- ner beauty to her, Palmer said. Through little trans- actions he breaks down her past. But, she went on to stress, this was not actually a transformation of the Pygmallion type. Rather Palmer stated, it ' s more of a process of self-realization. She ' s got the feelings but they ' ve just been suppressed. You know, it takes the whole show for Quixote to get Aldonza to reach out to him but he finally does succeed, Palmer observed. After this feat is accomplished, Aldonza has a bet- ter feeling of herself inside, she has more respect for herself. Of course, Palmer went on, she leads the same type of life as before but now it ' s not quite as bad. It has made a big dent in the way she treats herself; now she earries herself with more dignity. Palmer became so involved with her role because she feels Aldonza is everybody, men and women al- ike. She feels this way because everybody works un- der a cover, from a fear of being hurt. Everybody has a kind of turtle shell until one finds someone who helps break them down, gets them to express their real feelings. According to the young actress, the whole relation- ship between Quixote and Aldonza is best summed up in the following line from the play: 1 (Quixote) see you as the woman each man holds secret in his heart — Dulcinea. The play itself concerns the plight of Miguel Cer- vantes, a writer who is thrown in prison during the Spanish Inquisition, along with his companion, Sancho Panza, played by Michael McGann. They are then put before a kangaroo court by the other prisoners, with their possessions and their lives being put on the line. As his defense Cervantes conjoles the prisoners into allowing him to put on a play he has written, Don Quixote, with himself in the lead and others prisoners acting out the supporting roles. It is now that the story of Don Quixote de Le Mancha is unfolded. Quixote is an aged man who has lost all touch with reality; believing himself to be a knight errant, he goes forth with Sancho to fight all demons and wizards in particular, one known as the Enchanter. Stopping at a wayside inn which he takes to be a castle, Quixote sees and falls in love with the servant Aldonza, who he takes to be a fair lady, Dulcinea. It took o lot of makeup and time to change Diane Palmer from student (upper left) into the finished chorocter (lower right) of Aldonza. There follows a battle in which Quixote attempts to defend the honor of his lady, who is later raped in retaliation for Quixote ' s actions. After an electric scene in which Aldonza denies she is any kind of a lady, Quixote Is faced with his great- est challenge, that of defeating the Enchanter who is, in fact, his neice ' s fiancee. The Enchanter and the knights of the mirrors suc- ceed in breaking the spirit of Don Quixote, turning him back into an old, senile man who has nothing more to live for. In a highly emotional closing scene, he is returned, through the efforts of Aldonza, into being the charac- ter Don Quixote, as she becomes his Dulcinea. The outer play then resumes as Cervantes is called before the Inquisition. But this time he is better pre- pared, for he has adopted the spirit of Don Quixote. The production was excellent with stellar perform- ances by Freeman and Palmer. McCann, besides his rich vocal talents, created an amusing and touching character. All of the supporting actors also performed their roles, for the most part, in a very convincing manner. The set, which according to Winters, tried to com- bine the effects of Goya and El Greco, was very reali s- tic and did much to lend an air of credibility to the action. Although at first the lack of an orchestra was dis- concerting, in a short while this was overlooked as one became involved with what was taking place on stage, recorded music and all. The effect of the costumes, set and actors was one of unity, of a pulling together of loose ends to form a near perfect evening of enjoyment. And much of the credit for this belongs to director Bob Winters who, while acting as head of the production family did much to draw out and create the performances that were given. xJ ' ' 4 f- ' i y - . ■1 ' ' ' i, y m ■ r ««• W v Story by Nancy Scott Photographs by Andy Burris, ten Lattman Artistry in motion There is a door in a niche of a building on South Court Street. To many passers-b , it is only a door. Through it, one is led up a steep and narrow flight of stairs which creak with each footstep. Upstairs in the Full Building, which also houses Walgreen Drugs, are a studio and offices of the Ohio University School of Dance. Rated as one of the top ten in the country, the school is directed b Shirley Wimmer. Three years ago, Wimmer, a University Professor, started the Ohio University Dance Company. She now serves as ad- viser-coordinator of the company directed by Cynthia Cory Johnston. Johnston has been at Ohio University for two ears now and attributes the dance department ' s rising rep- utation to its size. At Ohio University, each student gets conscientious attention. In stressing this, she pointed out at universities the size of Ohio State, the dance departments have the disadvantage of being too large and impersonal to be concerned with the development of each individual dancer. Participation in the Ohio University Dance Com- pany is for credit, as is any other dance course. Mem- pership is open to all interested students, freshmen through seniors, and is not dependent on auditions. While the company includes all dance majors, it also has a significant number of non-majors. In dance, the choreographer selects the music, the costumes and even the dancers themselves. Specific dancers may be approached, or the choreographer will open auditions for the various numbers. The evolution of a dance number may begin with an idea, or the choreographer may select a piece of mu- sic around which to develop a dance. Johnston ' s choreography for Moog and Yetti began this way. Moog, originally produced for the Athens Friends and Neighbors and later performed during the com- pany ' s April concert, is described by Johnston as a silly ballet piece just for fun. It was not intended to have any real theme. The idea for Yetti came clear to her from a tape of music by Henk Badings. It deals with quickly-moving people evoking a spirit. The answer to their search came in the form of the Yetti, an intelligent and highly sensitive being, the Abominable Snowman. While most pieces have definite themes, Johnston advises an audience not to be concerned with trying to interpret the dance but to just receive the work as it comes to you. Due to the range of complexity of the works, re- hearsal lengths are variable. Rehearsals for Moog, because of its simplicity, took only three weeks. Yetti, however, was rehearsed for one quarter. Also performed during the company ' s April concert were several works choreographed by students. Bio- graphies featured the choreography of Peggy Finne- gan and Tom Evert to music by Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies. Deborah Riley ' s choreography for Partings was done to the song Uncle Albert by Paul and Linda McCartney. Nursing Home Blues, an impro- vised piece, was choreographed by Dana Dodge and Elizabeth Eck. During the year, visiting artists are invited to the I campus to teach and perform with the company as guests of the School of Dance. This year ' s visiting art- ists were Elizabeth Keen, Virginia Freeman and Jan Van Dyke. Virginia Freeman came to Ohio University for the fall quarter from Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. Her works include Signs and Alarms, which was per- formed in the April concert with Marcia Sakamoto acting as rehearsal director. Sakamoto is also the assistant director of the Ohio University Dance Company and is the choreographer of Territory, also included in the company ' s dance repertoire. Jan Van Dyke was invited to Ohio University on the recommendation of Virginia Freeman. She came to Athens from New York and Washington, where she was the director of the Georgetown Dance Work- shop. She first came to Athens for four weeks. Her second visit brought her here for three years. The Ohio University Dance Company has no formal ties with internship programs however, students can arrange summer study at such places as Long Beach, Calif.; Boulder, Colo, and Connecticut College. Some- times, students devise their own summer program for which they can get credit. To bring themselves in closer contact with the com- munity, a group of dance students formed The Move- ment. The group presents concerts on the greens and bake sales to raise money for a scholarship fund. Financially, the Ohio University Dance Company was previously under the auspices of the Ohio Univer- sity Theater. It is now independent and operating on its own budget. The company, hopefully, will present three concerts during the next school year. In addition to the school concert, one will be devoted to works by faculty members and guest artists, and the second will be of students ' works. I No end to the music Music is playing inside my head Over and over and over again My friend, there ' s no end to the music - -  Ah, summer is over But the music keeps playing And won ' t let the cold get me down Goal of CEC: Making music happen The Campus Entertainment Committee (CEC), en- tering its fourth year of business, has not enjoyed a quiet existence since its inception in 1969. The group responsible for booking major concerts, CEC has been criticized for, among other things, lack of responsi- veness to the campus community. The committee, however, objects that it tries to sample musical tastes accurately. Many of CEC ' s problems seem to arise from structural difficulties rather than ineptitude— it receives no subsidy from the University, and is forced to book money-making acts; it must book concerts on certain dates only and the size of Ohio University makes it nearly impossible to please everyone. The rationale for a central group coordinating enter- tainment goes back to the days when private groups had to arrange concerts through Student Activities Board (SAB). Originally required to turn over all profits As Chairman of the 1971 72 Campus Enter- tainment Committee, Ron Esposito, shown here, was largely responsible for the year ' s music scene. He also assisted other groups who were in- terested in putting on o concert, such as the Cav- ern people with their Ohio University Folk Festival held lost spring. Story by Ken Walker Photographs by Andy Burriss, Charlie Nye to the University scholarship fund, groups were allowed to spilit the money when the Convocation Center was built. But that first year, ' 68-69, proved to be a financial bust for most concerts. Simon and Garfunkel did pack the house for Homecoming, and the Supremes dupli- cated the feat in January of ' 69. But when Diana Ross Co. showed up late and played very little, students were miffed. Three weeks later, only 4200 showed up to hear Bill Cosby. Later, fames Brown drew 2800 and a spring concert with lose Feliciano and Led Zeppelin only managed 4200. Private groups were ill-suited to take losses if concerts failed to attract good crowds. During the ' 68-69 year Bob Ruday, then assistant di- rector of public occasions, drew up a proposal for CEC, which later bacame a subcommittee of SAB. In the fall of ' 69, Dionne Warwicke and John Hartford headlined CEC ' s first concert at Homecoming. Propping up CEC is a $25,000 reserve fund, in case a concert is a bust. Any profits over that go to the Stu- dents ' General Fund. In its current form, CEC consists of 15 people, including a chairman who is responsible for making contacts with music promoters. The rest of the group handles three areas— publicity, hospitality and physical arrangements. Although not necessarily limited to this art form, the overwhelming demand has been for music, ac- cording to Ron Esposito, chairman during the ' 71-72 year. We could put on roller derby cr circus, he said. but other groups seem to be handling other enter- tainment pretty well. Much work goes on behind the scenes, starting in CEC ' s downstairs Memorial Auditorium office. Taking a number of random campus surveys during the year, the committee attempts to determine local music preferences. After consulting trade magazines to see how the various acts are doing in the country, the chairman contacts agencies to see what groups are available for a certain date. Dates are first snag in CEC ' s operation. Dates cut out about 50 per cent of the groups we can get, Es- posito explained. We may miss a group by a week or even three days. People have to realize we can only get groups on tour at a certain time. The arrangements are no easy task, either, he said. People in the music business are ego-tripping schmucks, Esposito opined. This is the only business where the customer always gets screwed. You have to accept it, ' cause there ain ' t no way to change it. You have to have ego to keep going in this business. After the committee narrows down its alterna tives, it votes on which group to choose for a concert. Negotiating contracts takes about two weeks. Then come publicity arrangements, handling of com- plimentary tickets, finding lodging for the group, ten- ding to backstage details and the actual setup of the stage and chairs. Stage work takes all day, according to Bob Scanlan, who is starting his second year on the committee. You have to be there at 7 a.m. to set up chairs, he saicl, then sit around for awhile. Then you work with sound equipment and sit around for a few hours; then get the other group ' s equipment and sit around again. The sound men are usually there in plenty of time, so that everything works out during the concert. Charges of lack of responsiveness have bothered CEC. We have to book mainstream acts, Esposito said. We can ' t operate losing money. Allyson Halmi, starting her second year with CEC, commented It would help if more people would stop down and talk; we ' ll talk to anyone. Rich Nolan, ' 72-73 chairman, called for more communication from the campus population. I wish people would look at the acts in the context of the whole campus, instead of judging them only by individual tastes, he said. Satisfying people is the aim, member Lou Suppowitz said, but that ' s not easy. You can think ' till your brain melts, but there ' s not much you can do to please everybody. If CEC seems confused over popularity, students don ' t clarify the situation. A random Athena survey taken last spring revealed 34 students thought CEC was doing a good job, 48 said fair, and 18 voted poor. More revealing is the fact that 100 respondents ticked off 70 groups or singers they would like to hear, in- cluding lone votes for Johnny Mathis and Henry Mancini. Traditional favorites such as Neil Young, the Moody Blues, Carole King, The Who, and Cat Stevens were frequently mentioned. But as Nolan points out, the best aren ' t always available. The array of comments were just as confusing. Sev- eral students complained there was a need for vari- ation, pointing to a concentration on rock music and lack of jazz or blues. But then a student claimed the concerts give a good basis of variety. Others didn ' t quarrel with the direction, but charged there weren ' t enough big names- they could be doing a lot more for a major university, one student said. One admit- ted it was very tough to judge because not everyone likes the same groups. And one graduate student re- fused to attend concerts at all because the students are so piggy. Another complaint students raise is the security in the Convo; one woman spoke of all those cops flash- ing the lights. A man emphasized stop the police harassment; but there is little CEC can do. The Uni- versity ' s well-worn antismoking, eating, and drinking regulations won ' t budge, and the police are there to do their job, as one member explained. Director of Public Occasions Richard Stevens, advi- sor to CEC, claimed he is responsible for anything that happens at a concert. Students aren ' t living up to their desires of seeing a group if they ' re smoking; there are seven to eight thousand people endangered if there are any accidents. We had one case where a girl fell down and almost broke her nose because she was ' out of it, ' Stevens said. One guy could still be laying behind a row if we hadn ' t found him. If kids want to get stoned, they should do it before they get there. Problems have been part of CEC ' s life since 1969, Th :Oi;.Fi- and 71-72 was no different. Booking and ticket prob- lems caused James Taylor ducats to be released late, going on sale only three days before the concert. When Sweet Baby James played Athens last October, 7600 greeted him, several thousand short of a sellout. It was only non-sellout on his 30-date tour. On Campus Dialogue in November, Esposito said It ' s 99 per cent sure that Jefferson Airplane will be here Jan. 28. But that one per cent can kill you. When the Airplane cancelled, it was murder. Sly was booked in his place, but the Family Stone pulled its usual act and left after 45 minutes, leaving Antar Mberi of Afro- American Affairs to suggest a nationwide boycott be put on his performances as well as the purchase of his albums ' till he learns the old adage-You got to give some to take some ' . In February, Sha Na Na and the James Gang rolled in for Little Siblings ' weekend. Sha Na Na broke down the house, which quickly dissipated when it found out that James Gang was missing its prime member, Joe Walsh. The damn agency never told us about that. Esposito said, until it was too late. The second weekend in April, CEC, in conjunction with Black Studies Institute, presented a jazz concert With the McCoy Tyner Quartet and Larry Coryell. Only some 800 persons showed up, and CEC lost money. It appeared that Emerson, Lake and Palmer, rated seventh in campus surveys over the winter, would draw a sizeable audience later in April. FHowever, only 5400 showed up, and CEC took a thousand dollar bath. If that wasn ' t enough, guest stars West, Bruce and Laing thought they had top billing and refused to play first that night. Luckily folk singer Lost John was secured two hours before the concert. He played for fifteen minutes and West, Bruce and Laing were per- suaded to go on. Attendance figures fail to clarify popularity in musi- cal tastes, further perplexing the committee. The Car- penters, whose selection drew more vocal criticism than any other act, played to 8200 persons at Home- coming, second only to the 9200 for the Sha Na Na- James Gang concert. The Carpenters ' attendance fig- ure led one member to theorize you could put al- most anything on stage for Homecoming and it would draw a crowd. Emerson, Lake and Palmer, rated in the campus ' top ten, failed to draw a break-even crowd, partially be- cause the gig was on a Thursday night. But Taylor drew 7600 on a Thursday night, which prompted Ste- vens to comment that even people who have been in the entertainment business for years haven ' t got a suc- cessful formula for drawing crowds. Whatever CEC ' s problems, both Stevens and Nolan promise an in- crease in its scope during the coming year. We will start polling 6000 students with computer cards in- stead of 600, Stevens said. I think it shows a great effort to poll one-third of the student body. No Thursday concerts are planned, he said. But the situ- ation could arise, he added, if the committee feels it ' s worth it to get a certain group. CEC ' s going to attempt to broaden its scope, No- lan said. We ' re going to try to get with the Cavern and Campus Arts and spend a little money from the larger concerts on local talent. Image-wise, it will be good; it will help people to know us as more than the monolithic organization down in the flying saucer, he added. The committee will be aiming to strengthen its ef- forts this year, to experiment and expand. Nolan said. Although music has softened from the San Fran- cisco ' 60 ' s sound, he still sees big concerts as having definite appeal. People want to see someone when he ' s big, Nolan said. You ' ll never see a big act in a small coffeehouse, unless he ' s a has been. As long as the demand endures, CEC plans to present the big names. Until some changes are made at higher levels, CEC cannot make any earth-shattering changes in its format. And at the moment, nobody has proposed a better alternative. - ljll iw i  • f '  «r« • •• « • - • • ' __t,. 1 « I ' | F ? iiiS 2 Pictures are forming inside my brain Soon with the colors they ' ll rain together and grow Then don ' t you know, don ' t you know there ' ll be music Ah, it ' s not always easy But the music keeps playing And won ' t let the world get me down In search of a dream Sfory by Linda Wenmoth Photographs by Andy Burriss For two Ohio University professors, the search for their particular dreams took on a concrete form this past year. Though varied in purpose, both shared a sincerity and dedication to their goals. Robert Whealey became involved in his project al- most by chance. He had planned on spending this election year working for presidential hopeful Senator George McCovern. Instead he became a candidate himself for the tenth congressional district. There was a power vacuum here, the history pro- fessor explained. The party thinks (Congressman Clarence) Miller is unbeatable and no one was willing to take the chance. But, even with the odds against him, Whealey de- cided to enter the campaign. However, the response to his candidacy was disappointing. The reaction from students has been somewhat apathetic, according to Whealey. They don ' t see how they can fit into the system and are a little sus- picious of any candidate. Explaining that one can only speak of a system in terms of an alternate system, Whealey claimed the present situation to be one of nihilism. He went on to describe this as being irrational confusion and acts. People are frustrated and confused and there is no moral leadership, no one to follow. His idea for an alternate system is close to McCovern ' s and a little like the new populism ex- poused by Senator Fred Harris. In developing a new politics, Whealey stated one of the first things to be changed would be politicians. Describing himself as being one-fourth Christian, one- fourth liberal, one-fourth anarchist and one-fourth so- cialist, Whealey claims that taking the best elements of each of these would solve our present political dilemma. Whealey was opposed for the democratic nomi- nation in the May primary by Jacl Crisp, who he de- feated by a 2 to 1 margin. The primary was very much lil e an experiment. I didn ' t l now the situation, so I was prepared for all outcomes, Whealey stated. It was similar to a judge waiting for a jury to return their decision— I presented my case before the voters and got only a poker face reaction. I had no way of predicting how I was received. Whealey became a historian because of the Korean War. While he states that no historian is totally objec- tive, Whealey attempts to make students aware of the basic concepts of historical events. In doing this, he stated he was fighting against the total apathy and prejudice built up by the cliches of the mass media. At this point, ideology doesn ' t matter, the motiva- tion is most important. Students have to be taught to be critical of themselves and of other historians. Although he claims the campaign has not affected his role as a professor, he does say his family life has changed. My kids see less of me now but they ' re very excited and emotionally involved with my campaign, Whealey said. His wife, also, has been very active in his political bid, so much so that, according to Whealey, some think she ' s a better candidate than I am. Win or lose, he regards the campaign as being very educational and is prepared for either outcome in the November election. But for Julia Nehls, her dream is finally becoming a reality. For during the budget hearings last spring, the University agreed to finance a day care center. The day care center, according to Nehls, is some- thing that has been needed badly for a long time. She cites the growing number of students, as well as staff people, with children. But she does not feel the day care should be limited to University people only. I feel quite strongly about including the Athens community in the center, Nehls explained. Right now about 90 per cent of our children are faculty chil- dren and this is not enough of a cross section for teaching. A much broader scope is needed as far as the teaching experience goes. The concept of day care is also changing, according to Nehls. What women libbers want is nothing more than a babysitting service and this is something I could never support. Day care should always be an educa- tional facility. The children should be given the opportunity to expand their knowledge, their environment, she stated. The center ' s facilities should help them to de- velop mentally and socially as well as physically. Nehls would further like to expand the day care concept to include infants from two months old to five years old instead of the present policy of three and four year olds only. Besides serving the parents and children, the pro- gram would also be an aid to those students who are in child development. Describing the increase in de- mand for trained students in this area as booming, Nehls further stated the day care center would up- grade the whole child development area. It would help in nutrition, social welfare and provide us with the opportunity for more research, an area in which we were really limited. Another service Nehls would like to tie into the cen- ter would be parent volunteer training. Through this, parents can learn more about their own child as well as children in general, Nehls ex- plained. It also would be most helpful to the students in child development since it would provide them with insight into working with parents and with volunteers. The Director of Nursery Schools at Ohio University went on to explain that she does not feel the Univer- sity has an obligation to fund the day care program. Nehls feels such a program should be self-supporting with a sliding fee scale by income ranges. However, she does admit it is less expensive to use, and expand, the existing facilities and faculty. A love for children and an understanding of their needs prompted Nehls to enter her field. Although it is a rapidly expanding area, she does not feel everyone can be a day care teacher. It takes pretty special people to do this kind of work with preschool children that will develop their minds and bodies, she explained. It takes someone with a vital interest in what they are doing. Her work and dedication to the day care program have proven Nehls ' vital interest in the area and por- trayed her as a pretty special person. They came in droves to conquer the hills, race in the chilly March air and explore the great southeast. People strolled through town, carrying the front tire of their chained bike, and derailers lost their obscurity in the common vocabulary. The bicycle population of Athens boomed this year as ten speeds of all nation- alities rolled on the rugged turf of Athens ' roads. The city became involved with the influx of new traffic as bike routes were established, bike stores came to capitalize and legislation required all bikes driving at night to carry a headlight, reflector and horn to be street legal. The stolen bike industry hit Athens at a rate to give the local police an extra headache. ' ly?! ' A chance to ride free Story by David Frishberg Photogrophi by Andy Burriss BTy M K r FM ■f vjl t 1 ' v 1 lal H -Au l «H pa sBs y r — — i when a bike is chained to a parl ing meter it can be easily pulled over the meter, ridden off, painted, ship- ped to Columbus or Dayton, and chances are you ' d never recognize or retrieve it again. If you are lucky enough to keep your bike, there ' s contending with the motorist who hogs the crumbling road and edges you off onto the shoulder. However, when you get out on Route 56, Dairy Lane, or Hastings Road, the feeling of gliding down a hill in a tucked position going forty miles per hour without an engine below you, makes one forget he ever waited ten minutes behind a smoking car on Union Street for the light to turn green. Some ride for the sport, others race, some ride in the bike class and one person rides ten miles to his home in a teepee. The feeling of cycling in mass, pop- ping a wheelie, driving alone down a narrow foot- path and watching a tandem, a bicycle built for two, go by, epitomizes the art of cycling. Sit-in leads to jail The 1971-72 school year ended pretty much like It began, with a strike. Except the second time it was the students on strike instead of the non-academic workers. The strike came as a reaction to President Richard Nixon ' s announcement that the U.S. was going to mine the harbors of North Vietnam in an attempt to halt their offensive into South Vietnam. He also or- dered stepped-up bombing of North Vietnam, espe- cially the railroad lines. This came as somewhat of a shock, since previously all one heard was how Nixon was winding down the war and how good his Vietimazation policy was working. Demonstrations and petitions emerged the next day, answering the President ' s request to have people let their reaction known. Story by Undo Wenmoth Photographi by Charlie Nye At Ohio University, a meeting was held in the Baker Center ballroom on May 9 to decide what action would be taken locally. But the discussion only lasted 30 minutes at which time participants decided to go to the greens in an effort to recruit more protestors. Their efforts resulted in more than 1000 people who gathered at the intersection of Court and Union streets. The group remained at that spot until a little after midnight, when they were pushed back onto the College Green by Athens city police. The action came as a result of the group building a bonfire under the signal light at the intersection as well as the breaking of a window. It was the combination of the bonfire and the bro- ken window of the College Book Store, which was probably broken by someone other than the people assembled which, according to Athens Mayor Don- ald Barrett, caused him to order the police action taken. Barrett, who had been present on the street throughout the night, maintained a low-key position for the law-enforcement personnel. After staying on the green a short while, 250 of the protestors decided to stage a sit-in at Lindley Hall, which houses the University ' s Reserve Officer ' s Train- ing Corps (ROTC). They sta ed in the Hall lor about lour hours with the demonstration adding to its pro- test that of eliminating ROTC from the Ohio Univer- sity campus. At 3:30 a.m., the protestors were ordered to leave Lindley or face action by the University Security Po- lice. The ultimatum, ordered by University President Claude Sow-le, was delivered b Universit Advocate )ohn Stimmel and John Burns, University judiciaries director. About 15 minutes later, approximately 170 of the protestors left the building, chanting All we are saying, is give peace a chance. Once out they reas- sembled across from the building, where thev chanted anti-war slogans. A few began shouting obsentities at the police which caused several to be chased by the police; three were arrested at this time. The remainder of those who left the sit-in were then pushed onto the College Green. At 4 a.m., Sovvie made good his announcement and the 77 students and faculty members were arrested by University Security police, Athens City, Athen county and several area police department members, and charged under Ohio House Bill 1219. The arrests were carried on in a peaceful manner. The police, who had been cautioned against using excessive force by Assistant Security Director Wil- liam Kane, went into the building in fours where they brought out the people, had them photographed, searched and placed on one of two buses. The buses took the Athens 71 , as they came to be known, to the Athens County Fairgrounds where they were in- carcerated for the night. Among the 17 were two non-students and two fac- ulty members. The latter were Ron Hunt, instructor in government and Robert Bates, history instructor. At a later press conference Sowie explained why he had decided to employ the statutes under 1219 in- stead of another alternative. He stated that at the time of the demonstration he was faced with three courses of action. They were: allowing the protestors to stay in the building as long as they wished to remain; per- mitting the students to remain in the building until morning and then take action if there was any inter- ference with the normal building operation or explain- ing the legal consequences of their actions to the stu- dents, giving them ample time to leave of their own accord and then moving in to arrest the remainder. According to Sowie, the first alternative would have been easiest to follow, but in the long run would have been most harmful to the University. The second alternative, he explained, would have created greater dangers of a confrontation than those already existing. Although many other schools have followed the first alternative (allowing students to remain as long as they wished) in many cases, and we want to leave per- sons as much freedom as possible for discussion, it must be realized that everybody here has a right to pursue the work he or she came to the University to do without intrusion from others, SowIe stated emphatically. His decision came after consultations with other ad- ministrators and also from a wrongful guess on the part of the president. SowIe admitted that he gave the order believing all, or nearly all, of the 250 people in Lindley would leave once the ultimatum was deliv- ered. He went on to say some of the other administra- tors had thought the number choosing to remain would be somewhat higher. Since SowIe had frequently spoken against House Bill 1219, it came as a suprise to many people when he decided to use it during the Lindley Hall sit-in. He ex- plained this by saying I assumed it was my responsi- bility to carry out the laws of the state. I am not here to decide which laws should be enforced. One must examine the statutes of the locality and find the one dealing most with the action at hand. House Bill 1219, he explained, presupposes that the defendant is of some danger to the campus and there- fore should not be allowed to remain. The burden of proof lies with the person changed; he must demon- strate why he should be permitted to stay on campus and not be expelled. However, if an individual charged under 1219 is found guilty as charged in Athens Municipal Court, an automatic one year dismissal would be enacted. A $1000 bond was set for the Athens 77, a figure many protested as being excessive. By the morning following the arrests, several students had already or- ganized collection funds to aid in releasing those still held. Two members of the Cleveland Lawyers Guild, Tony Walsh and Robert (Handleman, volunteered their services to the defendant with no charge, except for expenses. Another attorney, Lawrence Grey who is a candidate for Athens County Prosecutor, offered his services as a consultant to the other lawyers. The three were later joined by other attorneys in de- fending the Athens 77. However, after gaining a continuance of all cases, proceedings were halted on May 18 when the Ohio Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of House Bill 1219. The suit was filed by ACLU staff council Leonard Schwartz. The 13 page complaint and 14 page memorandum named as defendants University President Claude R. Sowie, all four referees appointed to conduct the 1219 hearings, the entire University Board of Trustees and the Ohio Board of Regents, including Chancellor John D. Millett. The suit claims that 1219 violates the United States Constitution since it inadequately provides for coun- sel, promotes a community climate which is hostile to a fair trial on criminal charges, fails to provide for a specification of charges, permits suspension for of- fenses other than those with which the defendant is charged, makes presumpitons of guilt, and permits double jeopardy. Other complaints against the bill mentioned in the suit were that it allows conviction for vaguely de- scribed offenses, prohibits overly broad categories of expression, fails to adequately define disruption and singles out a narrow class of citizens for penalities more severe than the rest of the community. Once the suit was filed, referee Edwin Johnston granted a stay to the remaining 1219 hearings until the suit was settled. According to Attorney Schwartz, the final hearing on the lawsuit would take six months to a year. Very likely with the pace in federal court, a final hearing on the constitutionality of 1219 may well be that long. With the proceedings coming to a sudden halt, and the school year coming to a close, interest by other than the 17 and those directly involved began to die out. The excitement was over, school had again re- mained open and not much had actually happened to the majority of the campus population.

In closing . . . Athens is a strange town, tilled with contrasts and contradictions. On one hand it is a college town, with sophistication and culture, where concerts and art shows flourish and tastes run towards the modernistic. But at the same time Athens is a part of Appalachia, with all that label involves: poverty, squallor, strip- mined land and yet people filled with a proud determination. It is this blend of life styles that makes Athens the place that it is. A place where people can learn to live and to live together; to share and help ones ' neighbor, to see how the other half lives. And so people come here, from all over the coun- try, most for four years, some for longer. They come, and they bring with them different cultural character- istics and life styles. Most have the chance to grow during their stay in Athens, all are exposed to the opportunity. What one makes of this opportunity is entirely up to themselves; no one can be forced to open up and ex- plore new and sometimes drastically different atti- tudes and occurrences. But when measured on the scale of awareness, if such a thing can be imagined, the years spent in Athens may be the most important and far reaching time of one ' s life. When it comes time to leave Athens, most are filled with a strange mixture of eagerness and regret. There ' s apprehension in striking out on ones ' own and leaving the relatively safe and secure womb that is Ohio Uni- versity. But all must do it sooner or later. Of course, one can always return, but it ' s never the same, never exactly how it is remembered. A fleeting remem- brance of four years, too fragile to touch for very long and yet sturdy enough to last a lifetime. Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, a place of dreams and drudgery, of love and hate, of poverty and af- fluence. Athens, you ' re a fine mother for a child. Ohio University Athens, Ohio Claude R.
