What Is This Place-Ohio University: ? According to many people who are a part of the univer- sity, it has been termed, an institution of higher learning. Ohio University is more than a school-it is an experience . . . personal experience, as well as common experience of everyone here that will someday become the memories shared by all of us. We are not here long enough to call it home, but we are here too long to consider ourselves vis- itors. Ohio University, therefore, might be termed as a series of encounters. i? «w ncounters with fun . . . encounters with fun I encounters with fun . . . encounters with fun encounters with ideas . ncounters with ideas . . . encounters with i( W£ R£ SUING MXON j WE WATERGATE GANG young ' v- encounters with sharing . . . encounters with 1 encounters with creativity and talent 11 self-encounter . . . wmiimmimmif 11 WW fWiW ;l ,..i( I — L-lLiiU ' AcA, -il ' V,.

There is so much to be said, but words do not describe thLs edition of the Athena. It is the work of countless individuals, directly and indirectly, striving to bring about a publication that tridv represents Ohio Univer- sity. I feel we have succeeded. During my two years as editor of the Athena. I have come to know a great deal more about mvself. the people around me. the university, and the world. Re-building a dving publi- cation has not been an easy job. There are manv who think that the yearbook is still dead, but to the individuals who have worked long hours on this publication, it will continue to live on the Ohio University campus. As you look through this book, vour thoughts mav be that of praise or disappointment. It is important to remem- ber that a staff of ded icated students, not prttfcssionals are responsible for what vou see. We have all worked for a de- gree of professionalism, all the while attempting to solve our mistakes and many problems and humbly accepting our successes. Thanking all individuals who had a part in producing this publication would be impossible. But those who have, know who they are. and I want to express mv appreciation. There are numerous individuals who do deserve a special recogni- tion. The Athena staff has been the most wonderful group of people I have ever met. each with a different talent and per- sonality, combining them to produce what vou now hold. . special thanks to Ellen, who so faithfullv was mv right arm during the year, never failing to come to the rescue, or just make me laugh when things got tough. Herschel McNabb. J. S . CUck. and Margaret Deppen were always aroimd when we needed that constant advice. Wes Mirick. our Paragon representative has been especially helpful in keeping cost down, but retaining a quality product. Lastlv. a warm thank you to Heidi and mv parents, who were a sounding board through the year for all mv frustrations and rewards. And now that my job is completed, I only hope that as a reader you will gain some of the same satisfaction as I have in preparing this book for you.

Manv contributions pass over the stu- dent bodv almost unnoticed, but others directly enrich the lives of thousands of students each year. Two alumni have made possible the Ken- nedy Lecture Series, a lecture programming com- mittee that brings to campus nationallv-famous speakers to meet a wide scope of student and com- munity interests. The Edwin and Ruth Kennedy lectures were es- tablished in 1962 as an annual series to bring dis- tinguished lectureres to campus. The Kennedvs, graduates of the class of 1928, finance the auto- nomous committee which strives to bring in one nationallv-famous .speaker each quarter. Money that remains after major speaking engagements have been arranged is allocated to departments within the university to assist with smaller-scale programming. The Kennedy Lecture Series committee is com- prised of administrators, faculty members, and students. They are appointed by the Committee on Committees, and minorities are well-repre- sented. All decisions concerning the choice of speakers are made by majority vote at the monthly meetings. Most of the committee ' s work is decision-making and arrangements: publicity is rarely a problem because most of the speakers are so well known. Most of the time, the Kennedy Lecture Series is able to arrange for speakers throught personal contacts of the administrators or faculty members, thus cutting out expensive program bureau fees. This is possible, however, only when a speaker has not signed an exclusive contract with a program bureau, which is a difficult obstacle to overcome. The Kennedy Lecture Series, however, has been extremely successful in contacting speakers for reasonable honorariums— sometimes even for free!

Fourteen distinguished speakers were brought to campus, with well over 10.000 persons attending the speaking events. The impressive list of speakers sponsored solely by Kennedy Lecture Series or through their financial assistance, in- cluded the following: Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General under Lvndon Johnson; Wil- liam Raspberry, journalist for the Washington Post: Elliot Richardson, former U.S. Attorney General, Secretary of Defense, and Secretary of HEW; Cornelius J. Ryan, foreign correspondent and World War II historian; and CBS news com- mentator Charles Kuralt. Kennedy Lecture Series ' outstanding speakers from recent years include the Russian poet Yevtu- shenko, Daniel EUsberg, who was responsible for publicizing the Pentagon Papers (whose speech at- tracted so many people that the Convocation Cen- ter had to be used instead of Memorial Audito- rium) and architect and philosopher Buckminster Fuller, who captivated a predominantly student audience for nearlv six hours.

There ' s no such thing as a ' Silent Majority . Everybody ' s talking and questioning all the time. There ' s a great spirit of change in this country. However, Kuralt fears that the government operates behind iron gates more and more and recedes farther and farther from the people. He also worries that America is growing too fast. The quality of our lives is already affected by the fact that we ' ve grown too much, he conduced. But I have hope that we are growing not just in wealth and size but also in compassion and hu- manity as well. OUI 28 KENNEDY LECTURE SERIES ABOVE: John Chalfant.

But all is not fun and games. They also have the responsibility of providing lecture programming to meet the needs and interests of a widely diver- sified student body. Student Lecture Series, a subcommittee of the University Student Activities Council (USAC). has undergone major reorganization since its founding in 1966. At that time. John Tromblev. a student, proposed to Student Government that a lecture se- ries comprised of students be initiated. His major contention was that lecturers brought to campus for students should be decided upon bv students. His proposal was received with enthusiasm, and the Student Lecture Series came into being as a subcommittee of Student Government. Student Lecture Series managed to sponsor two or three major speakers each vear. though plans had to be submitted and approved by Student Government and money was sparse. It remained a financially poor, largely ineffective student orga- nization until the last few years. • The 1971-72 academic year marked a great deal of growth and expansion for Student Lecture Se- ries. Besides bringing in speakers such as Edward Albee. American playwright and author. Student Lecture Series was granted the authority to make decisions independently of any outside organiza- tion and the funding for speakers was nearly dou- bled. As Student Lecture Series branched out and became progressively more active, more funding was allocated and consequently more speakers, at- tracting a greater number of students, appeared on campus each year. Along with the increased funding. Student Lec- ture Series accepted another major responsibility. Student organization on campus appeared to have trouble soliciting financial assistance to sponsor speakers for special programs. Because of this problem. Student Lecture Series requested a change in status and structure from an internal programming board to a major campus standing committee responsible for lecture funding. Presently.

The 1972-73 school year was one of great suc- cess for Student Lecture Series. Because the Stu- dent Financial Board allocated the largest share of the Student Activities Fund to the committee. Stu- dent Lecture Series was able to assist many stu- dent organizations with lecture programming that would have otherwise been impossible. Decisions to assist outside organizations are not based only upon student interest, but also upon a desire to maintain a balance of ideas: liberal vs. conservative; the humanities vs. the sciences; the esoteric vs. the popular. This delicate balance was maintanined by assisting organizations such as the Arab Students Organization, the Attica Brigade, the Botany Club, the New American Movement, the United Farm Workers, the Athens Film Festi- val Committee, and the Conference on Racism. But time spent in assisting outside organizations has not deterred Student Lecture Series from pol- Ung student opinion at the campus gates in an at- tempt to discover the speakers in highest demand. Committee members seek wide contact with the student body and generally succeed in packing Memorial Auditorium a few times each year. Stu- dent Lecture Series has presented big-name speak- ers articulating upon politics, film-making, the women ' s movement, and the pUght of the Ameri- can Indians, the farmworkers, and the blacks. In the past few years, students and members of the community alike have gathered to hear speak- ers such as Dick Gregory, a popular radical hu- morist and civil rights leader; Jerrv Rubin, Chi- cago Seven defendant and author of Do It: Abbie 35 Hoffman. Chicago Seven defendant and author of Steal This Book; Cesar Chavez, president of the United Farmworkers; Ralph Nader, well-known crusader for consumer rights and environmental protection; Erich Fromm, author, philosopher, and humanist; Julia Reichardt, feminist film- maker; Jonathan Kozol. advocate of the Free School movement and author of Death at an Early Age; and Rod Serling. writer and co-pro- ducer of TV ' s Night Gallery.

It provides temporary experiences, many of which contradict the realities of life. Students question the meaning of their existence here. But into one such Ohio University student, Athens in- flicted a mood which he now passes across the country through his mellow folk music. This is Jonathan Edwards, who attended Ohio University for three years in the late sixties. In March of this year, he returned to Athens and played four memorable shows with the Massachusetts band, Orphan. Edwards and his music are quite meaningful to people in Athens. Several of his songs are about the Athens area, including Athens County, and Upsy Daisy. which tells of one of his friend ' s midnight adventures in Pomeroy. Ohio. Edwards now resides on a farm in Harvard, Massachusetts. There he remains unchanged by the fast pace of Eastern city dwellers. He contin- ues to compose and sing his special kind of folk music and finds that it is appreciated almost everywhere. Edwards is accom- panied by Dean Adr- ian, left, and Eric Lilljequist. rifiht. 42 JONATHAN EDWARDS He maintains that he is not interested in the business end of music, and that money is not his motive for performing. He avoids the pressures of contracts and similar obligations. Another of Jonathan ' s musical dislikes is em- phasis upon glamour and showmanship. Glitter is a joke. he said. His earthv music reflects this attitude. During his recent show in Athens, he performed a satirical dance to his song, Everj- body Knows Her. mocking today ' s showv ap- pearance of rock music. He also expressed dis- approval of popular music charts which serve as buying guides, calling them the top ten commandments. When asked to comment on his impressions of his latest Wsit to Athens, Edwards said I feel like a time traveler. There ' s a street where my house used to be. He lived in a house on a section of Wolfe Street which was removed when the Math Building was built. The house was adjacent to the railroad tracks, and it trembled violently with each passing train. Laughingly, he recalls old JONATHAN EDWARDS 43 times with his music and friends. A lot of music came out of that house before they paved it! It was during those years that the sit down rock and roll man began his career as a song- writer and performer. His band, the St. James Doorknob, played at literally every bar in Athens: they were the house band at the Union. Musi- cally they experimented with many ideas, ranging from music of Peter, Paul and Mary and the Kingston Trio to hard rock. They wrote most of their own music, featuring intricate harmonies and touches of bluegrass. Edwards drew several comparisons between Athens then and now. When he was a student here, the hippe-st thing to do was to pass the time at Pipe Dreams, playing pin ball, listening to the jukebox, and buying pipes. No other store in town offered such provocative merchandise. 44 JONATHAN EDWARDS Jonathan Edwards attracted large crowds at each of his four shows in March. He feh at ease with the audience, transmitting his feelings through meaningful lyrics. Onlv in Athens does he find people who truly identify with his musical tales. As a result, he plays his best shows in Athens. This was proven when his song Emma nearly brought tears to his eyes. Upon Jonathan Edwards, Athens made a deep and lasting impression.

JONATHAN EDWARDS 45 Duke Ellington and his Orchestra In January of this year Ohio University stu- dents had the opportunity to see and hear Amer- ica ' s finest jazz musician, Edward Kennedy Duke EUington. Four months later he died of lung cancer, at the age of seventy-eight. The remarkable composer began his career in 1927 at Harlem ' s Cotton Club. With his sixteen- piece band he continued to tour the globe until 1974. The Duke ' s music seemed to bring him to life at each performance. Once on stage he shed his wrinkled face and beamed with the joy his music brought him. Duke Ellington once said, My mu- sic is my reward. The rewards he left the world are invaluable. His hit songs, including Mood In- digo and Take the A Train will preserve his memory around the world for many years. 46 CONCERTS Even at the age of seventy-eight.

Hillel House held a sabbath service on Friday night. Later that evening Ohio played hockey against Cleveland State and The Wettest Show on Earth was presented as the 18th annual swim show. The One-Hundred-Ten Marching Men of Ohio presented their annual Varsity Show, saturating Memorial Auditorium with so much sound and music that the balcony not only vibrated but liter- allv bounced up and down as everyone clapped and stamped their feet to the strains of Stand Up and Cheer.

Hi Mom! Gee, you look great! That pants suit knocksoff at least ten pounds and five years. Say, I saw the cutest blouse uptown the other day. Thev only had one like it and it was mv size. You know the rest of the story. Soon daughter had not only a new blouse, but also the pants, jacket, purse and shoes to match. This weekend didn ' t hurt the wallet one bit. Mom paid for ev- ervthing and vou loved every minute of it. This time there were real teas and not the kind held on Dads Weekend. There were also more art exhibits, dance recitals, swim shows, flea markets, pottery sales, and craft shows. Once again the uptown bar lines were longer.

On Friday there was a pizza-eating contest and a tug-of-war. Live entertainment was provided by the Dixie Peach musical group. Beer-chugging and sauerkraut eating became competitive sports on Saturday evening, and the Nicholas musical group played to a large crowd. The tradition of a homecoming football game remained intact, as the Ohio Tniversitv Bobcats clashed with the estern Michigan Broncos. Con- cerned with most predictions, Ohio snatched a clear victory in an exciting, suspenseful game. The final score was 16-0. l a half-time ceremony, seven men were in- ducted to the Ohio Athletic Hall of Fame.

HOMECOMING 77 Denver ' s Mountain Melodies- Kendricks ' Soulful Sound . -fr l 1 H T ■I y m i ' I 78 HOMECOMING Ofcf je rest HOMECOMING 79 Margaret Deppen: Involved With Doing By Michael McGraw In 311 Baker Center the topics of discussion range from greeks to concerts and from plans for a ski trip to who ' s selling or passing out what at the campus gate this week. In the middle of all this is a slender, salt and peppered haired woman, with a high pitched voice, and an even higher interest in the students at Ohio University. In her 22nd year with the university, Margaret Deppen became director of student organizations and activities in 1966. She is responsible for regis- tering and advising all student organizations, dis- tributing student travel identification cards, plan- ning trips abroad, and working with greek organizations. Ms. Deppen came to Ohio University to become assistant dean of women in 1952. Later, when then dean of women Janice Bixler became direc- tor of Baker Center, Ms. Deppen filled her posi- tion. Her job was to be only temporary until someone else could be found, as she hadnt de- cided whether she wanted the position. Finally, explains Ms. Deppen, President Baker saw me on the green and said Margaret, I ' ve made up your mind for you and turned in your contract. I ' ve been here ever since. In fact, you weren ' t even born then, she laughed telling the interviewer. Although Ms. Deppen has spent a great part of her life working with students, both at Ohio Uni- versity and as a resident counselor at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, she has been in- volved with many other things that tell a great deal about her personality. With a degree in commerce and finance, and a masters degree in guidance and counseling, Ms. Deppen has worked as a secretary in San Fran- cisco, CaUfornia, Washington D. C, and Chicago, Illinois. Besides traveling all across the United Slates, her jobs have also taken her to many for- eign countries. During the pre-war era, and at the time of World War II, she worked as a club worker for both the USO (United Service Organi- zation) and the Red Cross. She spent two years in Belem, San Salvador, and in Fortaleza, Brazil with the USO, and one year in Tokyo. Japan and Soelul and Suwon, Ko- rea with the Red Cross. Her duties included taking American service- men shopping and on sightseeing tours and pro- viding a friendly place for them It ' s like a home away from home for servicemen. It was a wonderful and great experience for me. You ' re hving in a different world, one that you wouldn ' t be in every day. Does she miss all those men? Ms. Deppen just laughs. Returning to the states. Ms. Deppen started her career with Ohio University one that has been synonomous with the word change. As dean of women, Ms. Deppen supervised the women ' s dorms which at one time included only four, was in charge of dorm staffs, judicial system of the dorms, planning programs, and advising various organizations. Everyone wanted to live in the dorm. said Ms. Deppen. There were very few apartments and very rarely did they have cooking privileges. Also, ironically, there was usually no visitation in outside housing because most kids rented a room in someone ' s house. There was visitation in the dormitory, and a waiting list to get in. Why has she stayed in a university community for so many years? I wanted to s ee programs working and continuing. I enjoy working with stu- dents and being with them. They have more en- thusiasm and are more idealistic. I feel there is less back-stabbing in a university community and students are willing to make changes, she said. Students have not always been willing to make changes about everything according to Ms. Dep- pen. She sites as an example the Homecoming fes- tivities. Instead of floats, she said, I suggested each dorm or greek unit decorate their house. That way, more groups could afford to participate. Another thing about Homecoming, was the ex- ploitation of women, said the initiator of the 1973 Women ' s Week. The girls always allowed themselves to be exploited. I would ask them why they allowed it, but they couldn ' t see what I was talking about. When there was a larger movement, women began to change, she said. I ' ve seen a lot of bad and good changes take 80 MARGARET DEPPEN place over the years, said Ms. Deppen. The ef- forts that each of the three presidents I have worked under (Baker, Alden, Sowle) have been tremendous. Perhaps they didn ' t always read the records right, but who can. This is an old univer- sity. We have survived hardship before, and I think we can pull through anything, she said. As the universitv has changed, its apparent Ms. Deppen has too. I change with the times in my own thinking, she said. You have to recognize that things change. You cant remain inflexible. If you ' re inflexible in vour own life, vou denv vour- self a lot of pleasure. You can ' t do things the way they ' ve always been done. Everything will move on, and you ' re going to be left behind. I don ' t like to be rigid, she said. An avid golfer and sports fan, Ms. Deppen lives with librarian Helen Palmer and her cat, Raggady Ann. She enjoys reading, the theater, and travel- ing. Time is the biggest factor in my life, she said. It ' s the most precious item. While most people dream of retiring to a quiet peaceful place, Ms. Deppen hopes to go into the Peace Corps because of her involvement with the Red Cross and USO. ' I think the most important thing for everybody is enjoying what you ' re doing, she said. I can ' t imagine not liking to come to work. It ' s evident that Margaret Deppen does. OUI MARGARET DEPPEN 81 Forensics Wins National Title ABOVE: Junior Kfiinelh Petty was one of the fifty individual speakers who competed in the national tournament this year. By the Athena Staff Forensics: Webster defines the term as argii- mentative: open to discussion. But to the students on the Ohio University Forensics Team, it goes beyond this definition. Fall quarter they were named the National Forensic Champions for the 197.3 season. The Ohio University Forensics Team, estab- lished in 1812. developed from the literal so- cieties which were the onlv officiallv sanctioned extracurricular activities. During the late 1800 ' s, the first intercollegiate debate team began. Approximately twenty people make up the Uni- versity forensic team, although students may join throughout the year. The only requirements are dedication and willingness to work. A student may earn two hours of credit each quarter for this work. Most students spend from fifteen to twenty hours a week preparing their material. Students pursuing careers in business, speech, law, theater or public relations find the work re- warding. However, there are just as many in- volved for the excitement of the contest. 82 FORENSICS ABOVE: Facial expressions assist sophomore Scott Krohn in conveying a particular mood. BELOW: After a thoughtful pause, senior Debbie Everson elaborates upon her theme. K ■HL M H r| y P s , ABOVE: Senior Joni Freedman emphasizes a phrase with dramatic gestures. The Ohio team participated in tournaments at various schools, including Marietta College. Kent State University, and Heidelberg College, all of Ohio: Georgetown University of Virginia, and Monmouth College in New Jersey. The team also sponsored a tournament here on campus. In March the team captured the Ohio Sweep- stakes Championship. Consequently, they pro- ceeded with confidence to the National Tourna- ments. The debate team consisting of Jim Wallace and Steve Thompson competed for the national title in Colorado. Ohio was represented by fifty speakers at the National Individual Events Tournament in Platts- burg. New York. Coach Raymond Beaty an- nounced that the team set a record in capturing places in preliminary tournaments, with over thirty members ranking fifth or better. Ohio ' s winning total score for the year was 1.034 points. Points can be acquired in four dif- FORENSICS 83 The Art Of Self- Expression ferent ways. For individual events, a school re- ceives points for hosting a tournament, as Ohio University did in the winter of 1974. Accumulation of points also occurs when a student is involved in final rounds. The highest number of points can be gained in a sweepstakes. This is the sum of all team members ' individual scores. The school that wins a sweepstakes gets additional points for each college entered. Forensics consist of two categories: debate and individual events. A national topic is selected for debaters by the National Forensic Association, which serves as a national organizing unit. This year ' s topic was, Resolved, the federal government should control the supply and utilization of energy resources in the United States. The Ohio team, in their research, accumulated over 6000 resources from magazines, newspapers, and other informative areas. Each two-man team takes either an affirmative or a negative stand on the issue. The teams debate the issue for four rounds to expose the two view- points. A team speaks once during each round. Af- ter eight rounds, the top sixteen teams are placed in elimination rounds. There are various events for individual speakers. Examples are persuasion, which is based on a prob- lem-solution format; interpretation of prose or po- etry; and extemporaneous, which covers particular aspects of current events. Impromptu speeches are those which a speaker writes on the spot, without previous contemplation of the topic. An after din- ner speech is a humorous interpretation of a seri- ous subject, and a dramatic duo presents two people who dramatize a literary work without ack- nowledging the presence of each other. Through- out the season, Ohio speakers captured an array of awards in each division. Dr. Raymond Beaty, who has been advisor for the squad since 1967, tries to provide a balance of a friend, critic, and teacher. An imbalance would create an ill-at-ease atmosphere. said Beaty. I want the students to win for themselves; striving all the time for individual confidence. Graduate students Susan Wurster, Jane Elms, and Maggie Ryan assist Dr. Beaty in oral inter- pretation, extemporaneous and individual events.

Some are just waiting un- til graduation while others fear that budget cuts will force them to other schools or in still other directions to other majors. The faculty of the School of Music expressed mixed emotions about the quality and success of the department this year. Some were highly en- thusiastic while others had doubts and reservations. Music is basically an art of performance and at Ohio University we try to emphasize that prin- ciple. said Dr. Clyde H. Thompson, director of the School of Music. Thompson sees the school headed Up, up. up! Excesior! He cited the success of the O.U. Sym- phony Orchestra spring tour, the further devel- opment of ensembles within the school, the suc- cess of graduates in obtaining positions, and the co-operation between the Schools of Theater and Music for the production of Gilbert and Sullivan ' s musical play.

Socciarelli. conductor of bands, feels that things are not dying. They ' re getting better. New to the band program this year, Socciarelli is in charge of the wind ensemble, symphonic, marching, and varsity bands. Two wind ensemble concerts featured guest art- ists Jack Kripl, saxophone soloist, and Thomas Paul, bass, as well as the world premier of ' The Beaded Leaf, a commissioned piece by Warren Benson. We need a change in emphasis and di- rection, Socciarelli said. We ' ll be able to get more guest artists and that sort of thing in the future. Richard Cory, director of the opera-work-shop program seemed somewhat skeptical of the future of that program. Budget cuts have fallen heavily, and his position was discontinued. This year has been very successful with the productions of Puc- cini ' s Don Pasquale and Sister Angelica, and Verdi ' s II Trovatore, as well as Ruddigore, Cory said.

Claud Powell sees an active participation within the school for those students involved with singing. This year the singing groups were expanded to four ensembles: the O.U. Chorus, the Ohio Singers, the O.U. Chorale and the recently created Swing Choir. The Swing Choir is an entertainment group. We hope to add a rhythm section to it next year, Pow- ell said, explaining that each group performs a dif- ferent type of music. He also noted that the Ohio Singers toured southeastern Ohio for three davs in the spring. This is a highly select group of mostly upperclass students. They perform more contempo- rary works while the Chorus and Chorale do more major choral works. Ernest Bastin, director of the O.U. Jazz En- sembles, was uncertain as to what direction his groups were headed. Several packed concerts in Baker Center were well received, and Center Pro- gram Board chose to sponsor the ensembles for still another performance. Whether up or down, the School of Music seems to be striving to excell. While different directions may be the theme for 1974, perhaps with music as an impetus, the school will be able to achieve and maintain quality education despite university finan- cial woes.

DANCE 121 Art-Self Expression Through Creativity Siegfred Hall, home of Ohio University ' s School of Art, serves as a second home to many students. Art majors spend long hours striving for perfection in their numerous projects and assign- ments. Specialized training is offered in the fol- lowing areas: graphic design, painting, ceramics, photography, sculpture, and art education. In ad- dition to studying a concentrated area, students elect related courses to broaden their background in art. The many studios are open day and night so that students may dedicate the necessary time to their work. A free and open atmosphere prevails, encouraging art students to master techniques and acquire a particular style. 122 ART 1 1 W 2 i i « Vi ' :Mi 1 Hku E ART 123 Future Artists Master Techniques 124 ART ART 125 University Honors 126 UNIVERSITY PROFS Outstanding Profs Each year ten outstanding faculty members are given the honor of being chosen University Pro- fessor, which includes a 81000 honorarium and the opportunity to design and teach a course of their own choosing. Selection of these professors is handled bv a special committee, the University Professor Slec- tion Committee (UPSC). which consists of a non- voting chairman, three representatives from each degree-granting college and up to three at large members. They organize in October and the selec- tion process lasts until the following February. The first step in the selection process is the col- lection of nominations. UPSC members place bal- lot boxes in various classroom buildings cafeterias and in Baker Center during winter quarter pre- registration week. Any student on campus may nominate any professor who he feels deserve the award. The committee then collects the ballots and determine which professors have been given the most nominations. The votes are considered in relations to the total number of students taught by the professor that quarter. Approximatelv twentv- five professors qualify for the next step, which is class visitation. All UPSC members are required to observe each of the semi-finalists in a classroom situation. Criteria of evaluation includes ability to commu- nicate new and exciting approaches to learning, to provide stimulating lectures and to encourage the free flow of ideas. UPSC members often visit a professor in his office to discover his feelings about being a University Professor. During the isitation periods all nominees are invited to a dinner with the committee members. In early February the committee meets to select the University Professors. Each member .selects the ten professors whom he feels are most deserv- ing of the award. The votes are counted and alter- nates are chosen be a second vote. The names are then submitted to the University Curriculum Council for approval.

Spring quarter, Isele offered a course called, Children Are Special, which dealt with aU aspects of raising children. 128 UNIVERSITY PROFS Because he feels that the average .-tutlent has been intimidated by math courses in hi h school, and therefore view math as a nightmare. Hari Shanker. associate professor of mathematics, de- signed three unusual courses in math. The pur- pose of these courses was to teach students that math, an art. is all around us. that not all math is for everyone and that the subject of mathematics involves more than was learned in high school. The titles of his three courses were. Gentle Art of Math. Eastern and Western Contributions to Cultural Heritage of Mathematics. and A Pot- pourri of Mathematics. UNIVERSITY PROFS 129 A study of propoganda in politics, religion and business was presented in a course taught for two quarters by Dr. Maung Gyi, assistant professor of interpersonal communication. The title of the course was, Persuasion and Propoganda. Spring quarter, Gyi chose to teach a course called, Par- aUnguistics and Human Communication, about non-verbal communication. Concepts such as body language were discussed. 130 UNIVERSITY PROFS As a professor of theatre and a professional ac- tor. Dr. Robert Hobbs decided to teach two courses for non-theatre majors. Theatre Games, centered around this concept that is used to stimu- late imagination and creativity in the form of im- provisation. Seminar in Rehearsal Techniques, allowed the class to witness the actual production of a play from behind the scenes, and to eval- uate the process they observed. He then spon- sored an independent study for theatre majors only, requiring them to do a practical and theo- retical project of any creative nature.

UNIVERSITY PROFS 135 ROTC Expands to Branch Campuses By Dave Levingston During the years of anti-war protests, the Re- serve Officer ' s Training Corps (ROTC) was one of the main groups under student attack on campus. More than once Lindley Hall, which houses ROTC, was the subject of sit-ins, marches and vio- lence. Since then, the image of ROTC hasn ' t seemed to change in the eyes of the students. This year, however, in an attempt to get away from the hostihty which had characterized the majority of past encounters with the rest of the University, a deliberate effort for openness was made. In a year of budget cuts and declining en- rollment, ROTC followed a policy of increased in- volvement and activity in the entire university community. One result was the expansion of the ROTC pro- gram to the Lancaster and Zanesville branch cam- puses. This expansion took place spring quarter, due to a request by these campuses for inclusion of the program. Army ROTC commander Colonel Dudley Wil- liams said, We have quit hiding behind locked doors in Lindley Hall. Our officers give guest lectures and we have guests from other depart- ments. You never would have seen that two years ago. Another aspect of the increased interaction was evident in the sports and activities which are out- growths of ROTC. These are attracting more and more non-ROTC participants. Orienteering, long popular in Europe, but rela- tively new in the United States, is one of these sports. This year saw it grow rapidly. Combining elements of cross-country running with the use of topographic maps and a compass. Orienteering ap- peals to a wide range of people, from the distance runner to someone who Ukes to stroll through the woods. PROFESSOR Of MILITARY SCIENCE ABOVE: Col.

In a race against time, the runner must use his map and compass to guide him through the forest to a series of checkpoints and back to the stalling point. Serious competitors run the entire course, while others may walk and enjov the scenery. Local meets open to anyone were held almost every weekend. Competitors included men and women, faculty and students. non-ROTC and ROTC members. A national meet with partici- pants from 200 colleges and universities, as well as many high schools, is held here annually. e are attempting to make O. U. the national headquar- ters for orienteering in the United States, il- liams said. ROTC is partial sponsor of the Southeast Ohio Orienteering Club which has approximately 100 members. This club has produced three national champions, two of them women. The official motto of the club, according to illiams. is Run your ass off. Another organization, the Capers, with a mem- bership including women members of the ROTC program along with non-ROTC coeds, provided a women ' s drill team to represent O. U. in national drill meets with the ROTC men ' s drill team. ROTC 137 ROTC Co- Sponsors Orienteering ABOVE: Orienteer Steve Newman proceeds to his next checkpoint. BELOW: Dave Pintar. Brooks Fuller.

Angel Flight, a service sorority affiliated with Air Force ROTC but composed of non-ROTC coeds, has served as hostesses for Ms. Claude R. Sowle. and also worked on community projects. With a bi dget of $8,000 from the university, Armv ROTC provides many .services to the uni- versity at a very low price. In addition to class of- ferings, which are open to all students whether en- rolled in ROTC or not, the program spends much time and effort in recruiting. Since every ROTC student is required to have a major other than ROTC, this recmiting helps the enrollment of all sections of the university, according to Williams. Vm not competing with degree programs, Williams said, every person I recruit will sweeten somebody else ' s degree program. So in a financially troubled year. ROTC pro- vided a course of study for tho.se wanting it as well as social and recreational opportunities for the en- tire university, all with a very slight drain on the university budget. There is and always will be a group who would like to see ROTC off campus. Williams -said. But more and more people are accepting us and are actuallv glad we ' re here.

ROTC 139 Bookstores Take A Stand By Hedy Augus and Daphne Devetsco TOP: Students must keep their belong- ings in Logans bookdrops while they shop. BOTTOM: Descriptive labels are helpful in guiding students through the bookstore maze. For years, there has been friction between Ohio University students and local bookstores. The basis for discontent is usually financial, and it deepens through a series of misconceptions about store policies. Students attack Logan ' s and College bookstores for their prices; many consider book prices to be a rip-off. The two stores have been targets for stu- dents aggression; th eir reasoning being that store owners over-charge for books. As each quarter be- gins, student complaining about book-buying echo across the campus. College bookstores are a target because the students thinks it takes most of his money. He never stops to think of the beer parlors and so on, said Sherman Gilmore, manager and owner of College Bookstore. I guess there ' s a little bit of psychology involved. They feel forced into buy- ing textbooks and so they complain. The money spent on things that they want doesn ' t seem to matter. 140 BOOKSTORES Many students feel that bookstores earn large profits on new textbooks. But. according to Anse Gates, manager of Logan ' s, the publishers decide what the suggested retaU price of the books will be. and the bookstores sell them at that price. There is no real markup from the publisher ' s price. said Gates. Representatives from various book publishing companies visit with the facultv from time to time to suggest texts for the coming quarter. Thus, members of the faculty are aware of the higher cost of the texts. he said. It used to be that professors teaching the same course would get together and choose one general text. said Gilmore. Now. thev don t do that. No- body wants to use the same book someone else is using, and nobodv wants to just use one book. He explained that it is difficult to out guess which class will have more students in it. and order the right amount of books. Some professors are un- popular and nobodv will take their classes. Other classes are offered at a bad time. So even though we might have the pre-enrollment figures, we can ' t always be sure how manv books to buv. and usually the publishers won t allow us to send back what we don t sell. Another topic of student concern is the book- drops located in each bookstore. They are placed there for two reasons: for the prevention of shop- lifting, and so the students don t have to carry heavy packages while shopping. Some students have no objections to the bookdrops. while others see them as an inconvenience. They are ridiculous. said one sophomore who expresses the views of manv students. ' The stu- dents can shoplift if they really want to and there are always thefts from the book drops. I PPER LEFT: Long lines are ideal for making new friends. BELOW: Logan ' s moves operations to second floor. 141 Each Quarter Brings ' ' Book Rush The students are not alone in their views of the bookdrops. I even resent them, Gilmore said. But, there ' s nothing I could do about it. If a stu- dent walks in carrying books, how can we tell which books are being purchased and which are his? Although many students are dissatisfied with book drops, there appears to be no better system. However, according to Gates, coin operated lock- ers may soon appear in Logan ' s. Under this sys- tem, students could lock their possessions in the lockers and hold the key until they are finished shopping. When the key is returned, their money is refunded. This would eliminate the problems of thefts, he said. Gilmore has also considered the possibility of using coin operated lockers. I decided against it though, he said. The advice I got about them was that before long, kids would have a key to ev- ery locker I had. They ' d either keep the key, or have a copy made. Stores that have used them told me that they had to replace locks very often. ABOVE: Yes, she works here and she ' ll find that hidden book.

A rumor that has been eirculating arourid the campus of Ohio University for countless years is that Logan ' s and College Bookstore are under the .same ownership and management. This rumor is totally false. Logan ' s is managed by Anse Gates and is affiliated with the Folett Corporation in Chicago. Gilmore has owned and operated College Bookstore since 1952. Long check-out lines during the first week of each quarter are another grievance which students have expressed. Most students buy books between 12 and 3 o ' clock the first day of classes each quar- ter. This is better known as the student rush or book rush. If students could arrive at a different time or even better, before classes begin, the prob- lem would be alleviated. As long as all the stu- dents choose the same time to purchase their books, 20 cash registers wouldn ' t be enough, said Gates. Both managers said that their stores are basi- cally student oriented. Although the sale of books brings in the majority of profits, other de- partments are created to help accommodate the students, Gates said. Gilmore ' s outlook is differ- ent. Since the majority of books are sold in the first two weeks of the quarter, most of our profits come from other sales. Students said that they would rather buy and sell their books through a campus book exchange if possible. If I could open up a discount book- store, it ' d put Logan ' s out of business, one stu- dent said. But, according to Gilmore, there are common problems to any college bookstore that there just aren ' t any logical solutions to. OUI 143 Reading For Pleasure by Ellen Miller Another bookstore? Oh no. just what Athens needs. But wait! This one ' s different; this one doesn ' t even have textbooks, pens, pencil, or note- books. It specializes in trade books— novel, hu- mor, non-fiction or anything that somebody might want to read. The Little Professor Bock Center was opened in the summer of 1973 especially for the person de- siring reading other than for academic work. We are here to enhance the number of books avail- able in the Athens area and there is a market for trade books here, said manager Mark Cross. If you don ' t see it, ask for it. seems to be the motto of the Little Professor. According to Cross almost any book can be ordered, even those that come from the smaller publishing companies. In the future, he hopes to obtain a supply of over- stocked books from various publishers which he will sell at a reduced price. Cross and his employees are aware that many customers come in only to browse. This serves as an advantage for the bookstore. People who come in to peruse newspapers or magazines usually look through the array of books and eventually make a purchase.

I keep saying that that ' s the only rea- son I ' ve been so lucky. If I stop finding those clo- vers, I don ' t know what will happen to me. Whether it was luck or not, over Thanksgiving break this year, when other Ohio University stu- dents were enjoying their mother ' s turkey dinner, senior Wendy Weeden was participating in Na- tional selections for the United States Field Hockey team in Boston, Massachuesettets. At that tournament Wendy became the second player in Ohio University history to be named to the United States Reserve Field Hockey team. If Wendy was the perfect example of the tom- boy turned superstar this would be an easy story to write. But Wendy ' s idea of a fun afternoon when she was a little girl was staying inside and helping her mom. For those afternoons of help from her daughter, Mrs. Weeden gave her daugh- ter the nickname of house plant. For a long time it seemed as if the roots would never be altered. Then during high school at Hudson, Ohio, Wendy learned of field hockey through her ninth grade physical education class and fell in love with the sport. As a friend and teammate puts it, she likes hockey because she can wear a skirt (kih). During her summers Wendy went to Valley Farm Field Hockey Camp in Michigan, where she sharpened her skills. It was during these camps that Catherine Brown, field hockey coach and in- structor in the HPER department at Ohio Univer- sity first saw her future hockey star. She was always eager to improve, but what I was more curious about was her curiousity about what was going on. She was always asking insistent questions. She hasn ' t stopped that. When it finaley came time to pick a university Wendy had decided that if she was accepted to Miami University she would go there. That summer I ran into someone who gradu- Wendy gets set to do the all important roll-in. ated from Miami and she told me about their P.E. program and their hockey, saying ' if you go out for hockey you might as well forget it. If they don ' t have a good team they don ' t schedule games. You can ' t play with a ' club team ' and they are not a member of any college organization so you couldn ' t go on for any selections. ' I began to have second thoughts and that ' s what switched me to O. U. and I knew that Catherine Brown was down here and I knew she would have a good hockey program, she said. During her freshman season in the hockey pro- gram Wendy became the first Ohio player to go on to the National hockey trials as a freshman. For her entire four years of college hockey, Wendy was named to the Buckeye I squad and in her senior year she was picked as its captain. Buckeye squads are made up of the top collegiate players in Ohio. Selected her freshman year on Great Lakes III, which meant she wouldn ' t go to the Nationals because the Great Lakes section only takes two teams, the player in Wendy ' s posi- tion on Great Lakes II couldn ' t go and Wendy was a move-up and was off to her first nationals. She has gone every year since. Last year the trials were held in California and during them Wendy irritated her knee. At first it didn ' t hinder her play, as proved in the fact that she was chosen to play in the first team trials the last day. But in the final game the pain became too much and forced her to take herself out of the game at halftime. Although she says not playing the second half probably didn ' t have anything to do with the fact that she didn ' t make the reserve team as a junior, Wendy found out later that she had been strongly considered for the squad. While it wasn ' t a big disappointment that year, it made her all the more determined to be ready for the next season. She came back to school fall quater of 1973 in the best condition of her hockey career and probably had the best season ever. As captain of the Ohio squad Wendy had her hands full trying to keep the seniors in line over squabbles with the new coach and coordina- tor of Women ' s Intercollegiate Athletics (WICA), Barbara Berry. After two years of Catherine Brown and her coaching technique to go to Berry ' s was quite a switch, one that many didn ' t want to make. Wendy somehow managed to keep them all to- gether, but the trouble showed in their 1-5 record. In the previous three years at Ohio University Wendy had been on hockey teams that had lost a combined total of one game. This year brought a new switch, one that Wendy didn ' t like. The Ohio team participated in the state tournament and in the end picked up the iv« - At halftime of a men ' s basketball game Wendy received a plaque for her achievements in hockey. second place trophy, only to find out three weeks later that they had been disqualified for using an ineligible player. I was against the state tournament anyway, just from the standpoint that hockey has always been a sport that you don ' t pick a winner. It ' s a sport that you play with other teams as well as you can with your own team. If you win, fine, but if you lose, you can still lose and play a good game. I really believed that, because the scoring in hockey is relatively few and far between. Sometimes it will reverse itself and you can play a very poor team and dominate the whole game. Maybe they will score one goal against you, but they stUl win. That ' s not saying they have the better team, its a Win For Ohio U. And A GaUon Of English Toffee very inaccurate way of determining a champion and thats exactly what the state tournament was doing, she said. Wendy ' s favorite food had a great deal to do with the fact that Ohio made it to the finals of the state tournament, also due to the help of Barbie Diver, a junior from Ohio Wesleyan and a good friend of Wendy ' s. Both Ohio University and Wesleyan had been beaten by Wooster during the regular season. Wooster was the team Ohio had to beat in the semi-finals in order to get in the finals against Ohio State. Before the game Barbie came up to Wendy and told her if Ohio beat Wooster she would buy Wendy a n ice cream cone. Knowing how crazy Wendy is for ice cream and also wanting Ohio to beat Wooster, Barbie made the bet for a gallon of Baskin-Robbin ice cream, any flavor she wanted. Ohio won 1-0 and Wendy ' s defense down by the Ohio goal was nothing short of perfection as she dreamed, of the ice cream. Barbie paid off at the National tournament with a gallon of English Toffee. More than just a ' jock , a word that Wendy hates with a passion, she is an honor student ma- joring in physical education, with a dual minor in health and English. She is also a menvber of Mor- tar Board, an honorary senior women ' s group. Wendy is interested in more than just the play- ing aspect of field hockey. She is a Rated Section ' A ' official in field hockey. Wendy finds this as- pect of the game almost as interesting as playing. She is very active in the working of hockey and is not just a player who wants nothing to do with the organization that governs her sport. She feels that she owes the United States Field Hockey Associa- tion (USFHA) something for all it has done for her. As a member of the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee this year she took her concern a step farther and fought with the other members of the committee to get better funding for WICA. She also appeared at the open budget hearings in de- fense of WICA. In 1975 WICA will receive a 120.000 operating budget as compared to the $3,500 budget in 1974. The 1975 school year will find Wendy teaching in a Kettering. Ohio, junior high school teaching health and physical education. She will also play on a ' club team in Dayton, Ohio, near Kettering. The burden of practicing the stick work and run- ning to stay in shape will fall directly on Wendy as she will no longer have the daily college practices to keep her in top physical shape. It ' s just going to involve a little more self-dis- cipline. Tm gonna have to make sure I get out. Now I ' ve got a lot more motivation than I would have last year, as far as the team I made to go out and do it. In Wendy ' s freshman year she became involved with another sport and has been hooked on la- crosse ever since. Although still a novice to the sport, Wendy has gone to the National tourna- ment in lacrosse since her sophomore year. This year during the National tournament held in Philadelphia over the memorial weekend, in the second game Wendy severly strained her left knee and was forced to watch the remainder of the games from the sidelines. As you watched her you could tell that the pain of having to watch was far greater than the pain she felt in her knee. With the competitive spirit, determination and self-motivation Wendy has, if there is any change from her being the second best right halfback in the nation, it will only be to becoming the best right halfback in the nation. : car ' itirii.Jtt ,_ FAR LEFT— Wendy at the niirniphonc fliiring the open budget hearinpii.

WENDY WEEDEN 159 ' If you need somebody to ease the way . By Ellen Miller 1974 seemed to be a year of endings at Ohio University, or a year of beginnings, depending on your outlook. Or it could be called a year of changes. Another of the changes that the univer- sity will see next year will be in the Ombudsman ' s office. This office was established in October, 1970, at which time Dr. Lester J. Marks was appointed to the position for a two year term. The position is reviewed every two years and in 1972, Marks was re-appointed. Although the position is not to be held by one person for more than four years, after 160 OMBUDSMAN Opposite page: Ombudsman Dr. Lester Marks and his assistant Rimfa England in their office. OMBUDSMAN i6l Marks and England on WOUB-radio talk show. Teletalk, with host Barry Vaughn. the 1974 review, due to the problems that the uni- versity was experiencing, Marks was asked to serve another term. Expressing the feeling that it would be good to get some new blood into the position to keep it responsive, Marks instead decided to resign from the position and return to teaching. Marks is a professor of English and will be teaching at the university. The Ombudsman ' s office was created as a place that students could take any problem they might have. It is a sort of catch-all for grievances. If you don ' t know where to go, if you aren ' t sure you have a problem, if you need somebody to ease the way a little, you can come here, explained Rimfa Englans, assistant to the Ombudsman. Although her plans for the future are not definite, England also will not maintain her position in the fall. Common problems that are brought to the Om- budsman include disagreements with professors, community services, university housing, legal af- fairs and personal problems. The Ombudsman ' s assistance is often as simple as making a few phone calls, or referring the student to the right place, if he does not know where to seek help. Legal problems are referred to the Judiciary Of- fice, for example, and serious personal problems are referred to the Center for Counseling and Psy- chological Services. His job sometimes involves helping students bv making other parties aware of problems that might not have been called to their attention. If there are a significant number of complaints about the food services, for example, Marks might confer with the Director for Food Services in an attempt to find a solution to the complaint. Although dealing with university problems and helping students find solutions to their problems is the main function of the Ombudsman ' s office, he sometimes helps persons in the Athens commu- nitv. He once helped a woman have her law- nniower fixed after she called Marks and com- plained that the store would not give her service. And so. it is necessary for the person in the role of the Ombudsman to know something about ev- erything . . . and as this academic year ends, the university is in search of a person who can fill the shoes of Lester Marks. GUI The atmosphere of Marks ' office helps students feel relaxed. OMBUDSMAN 163 BLACKS FOCUS ON A.B.C. ' s of Color By Ronald Johnson Photos by Alton Brisbane Perhaps the two Afro-Americans who best sym- bolize the political, social and cultural activities of Black Awareness Week are W.E.B. DuBois and Paul Robeson. Interestingly enough, the theme of the week was DuBois ' A. B.C. of Color and the week ' s workshop was on Robeson. February 8-16 started and ended with massive dosages of Afro-American culture. Over 30 people directly participated in the Athens Soul Sympo- sium the first night of Black Awareness Week. Afro-American and African singers, dancers, poets, and prose readers entertained an audience of 300 with the best of soul. During the close of the week, John Patterson, a graduate student in theater and part-time instruc- tor at the Center for Afro-American Studies, put on the play Boesman and Lena. The final day was filled with the gospel singing of the Black Choral Ensemble, directed by Jesse Davis. Sandwiched in between the cultural events was an intensive week of speakers touching an Afro- American socio-political life. Minnie Player, chairwomen of the Cleveland Welfare Rights Or- ganization called for unity of poor folks by saying, We poor folks got to stick together. Benny Fernandez of the P.A.I.G.C. Support Committee spoke about the activities occurring in the small African country of Guinea-Bissau, which has applied recently for membership in the United Nations.

He saluted Robeson as a great black leader who could play athletics, sing, act, write and speak, for Afro-Americans at a most difficult time in U. S. history . Melba Smith from the Methodist Church dele- gation to the United Nations came to Athens to show a movie called Sambi Zanga and spent the week attending Black Studies classes.

An International Sports Tournament marked the beginning of the week on Monday. Through- out the day various nationalities vied for cham- pionships in soccer, volleyball, and ping-pong. The Arab Students Association captured the soc- cer and volleyball titles, while the Chinese Stu- dents Association won in ping-pong.

Officially, the committee is charged with advis- ing the university president on all budget matters and overseeing the construction of the budget for the coming fiscal year, which begins July 1. In the past, the UBC began planning the budget in Octo- ber and finished in late February or early March. However this year ' s process was stymied with some unusual problems. In the summer, the senior administrators had reason to fear that the enrollment figures were not as firm as originally projected and that they might make a dramatic drop. Thev took appropriate measures to curb spending, because if their fears materialized, they would have to drasticallv cur- tail spending by over $2.1 million. Vacant job po- sitions and uncommitted money was scooped up and low priority programs were reduced or elimi- nated where possible. Early fall quarter, the uni- versity waged a successful campaign to gain more money from the Board of Regeants. This effort took over two months, pushing the budget con- struction to January. The UBC began meeting for two intensive one- week periods throughout winter quarter. One of its first acts was to approve a two-vcar budgeting plan. Basically, it involved a detailed budget for 1974-75 and a tentative outlined budget for 197.S- 76. The plan was adopted to allow the academic departments to plan to release those faculty mem- bers whose academic programs were slated for re- duction or elimination in the 1975-76 school year. At stake were over 150 full-time teaching posi- tions, a reduction of the number of courses in ea h college and the elimination of linguistics and architecture. If the UBC was to reject the idea of reducing its teaching faculty, then it would have had to reduce already understaffed support units or make a dramatic plea to the state for a sub- stantial increase in support. Instead, the UBC chose to set control totals for each department. In February, the UBC reviewed the budgets to see the effect of the control totals and to recommend to the president po.ssible changes in the budget that might enhance the op- eration of the university. Increases in the admis- sion office recruiting staff, the elimination of the office of the vice-president for regional higher education, the size of Inter-collegiate Athletics and the security force were the major topics of consideration. A considerable time was spent dis- cussing the inadequacy of the academic budget, but the UBC could find no internal solution to llie problem without major reorganization which would mean the ICA. the regional campus system and the physical plant would be reduced. OHIO UNIVERSITY BUDGET 171 TOP LEFT: Students fearing that departments would turn on eaeh other, protested what they called cannibalism. TOP RIGHT: Questions were raised by faculty as well as students 172 OHIO UNIVERSITY BUDGET March 25 and 26 President Sowle conducted the annual Open Budget Hearings for members of the university community to come fonvard to ask questions or comment on the proposed budget. Each night a few hundred students and facuhy came to ask questions and to register their dis- pleasure with the cuts proposed in the teaching staff. A group of students and faculty formed Those Concerned for Quality Education. to urge Sowle and his advisors to forego the con- struction of the budget and instead demand more money from the state to save as many teaching po- sitions as possible. The president refused to halt the process, but joined in their effort to secure more money. Although the state of the budget is question- able, the academic programs slated for elimina- tion will remain available for another year. The luLs in spending have been taken in part out of many different areas of the university, academic and non-academic. More cuts are scheduled for the 1975-76 academic year, but thev will depend on the factors surrounding the budget in 1974-. on LEPT: Dr. Taylor Culbert. Executive Vice President and Dean of Faculties answered questions during the budget hearings. e e 173 Those Concerned for Quality Education Oppose Budget Cuts In late February, as proposed budget cuts threatened the continuation of various academic areas, a group of concerned students, faculty and non-academic workers united to consider alterna- tives. The organization became known as Those Concerned for Quality Education (TCQE). Throughout the year they pursued their goal to maintain Ohio University at its present academic capacity. The main purpose of TCQE was to encourage the university community that budget cut were not the only solution to the financial crisis. In- stead of creating a struggle among departments over who would be eliminated, the group urged aU faculty and students to unite and resist slashes in expenditures. The aims of the organization were summarized as A proposal to end Cannibalism. As an alternative TCQE proposed that Ohio University solicit funds directly from THE state. With outrageous mortgages to pay on empty dor- mitories, the university had no choice but to nar- row its course offerings. But if the state provided an emergency fund to cover these costs, then all academic areas could be continued. This would require approximately 6.5 million dollars. Members proceeded to conduct indepth re- search which revealed facts that supported their proposal to solicit state money. Ohio numbered in the top ten per capita income in the fifty slates, but is 48th of 50 in per capita funding for higher education. Ohio spends $32.19 per capita for higher education, $14 short of the national aver- age. TCQE insisted that Ohio ' s wealth afforded more allocations for education. The first actions taken by TCQE were reactions to the proceedings of the open budget h earings on February 25 and 26. Under the leadership of se- ABOVE: A campus activist joins the March rally on the College Green. BELOW: Senior Jeff Gove and Larry Stoodt lead a question and answer session in Ewing Auditorium.

A eulogy was read for higher education in front of Cutler Hall and the procession marched to Baker Center. There TCQE members attended a press conference with state legislator Arthur Wylkowski (D-Toledo), a sympathesizer for higher education. The coffin was then carried to the Math Audi- torium, where budget hearings were being held. To a drumbeat the procession approached Presi- dent Claude Sowle and presented him with a peti- tion of over 5,000 signatures in support of the po- sition of TCQE. The proposal to freeze the hearings and bid for state financial support was re- jected by Sowle. However, he commended state- ments made by TCQE members at the meeting. For further support TCQE appealed to local townspeople, ministers and priests, black students, area retail merchants, Athens Chamber of Com- merce and City Council. Representatives from each green were given the responsibility to inform dormitory residents of TCQE progress. Letters were sent to 4000 parents of Ohio University stu- TCQE 175 TCQE Earns Funds in Blood Drive dents, and TCQE corresponded with other state universities, asking them to participate in the movement. Another rally w as held on the college green on March 1st. It was followed by a mass meeting in the Ewing Auditorium. There TCQE members presented a few skits satirizing the budget hear- ings, and held a general question and answer ses- sion. At the same time, seniors Jeff Gove and Keith Carmony were meeting with a mission force from the Regents Task Force on Higher Educa- tion. This is the committee which advises the Board of Regents on the financial situations of state universities and makes suggestions for changes and improvements. Gove and Carmony informed the mission force of TCQE and its goals. The Athens area bus service, AORTA, provided free transportation to Co- lumbus for TCQE blood donors.

TRi-cq TCQE ' BLOOD DONORS 176 TCQE L On March 2 several TCQE members traveled to Columbus for a meeting with the Governor ' s State Advisory Board, a committee which consists of representatives from Ohio ' s higher education in- stitutions. The Board responded favorably to TCQE. promising help with personal contacts and information. A meeting held the next week with Ohio Uni- versity Trustees Fred Johnson and William Mor- ris, Chairman, proved less successful. TCQE made another request to freeze budget proposals until state funds could be secured. This proposal was introduced at the following board meeting. After a lengthy discussion the resolution failed by one vote. TCQE aims appeared close to realization when Arthur Wylkowski introduced a bill into the state legislature asking for an additional $6.5 million to maintain all existing programs on campus through the academic year of 1975-76. Its outcome has not yet been resolved. At an April meeting with President Sowle, TCQE spokesmen discussed the r eport on Ohio University issued by the Ohio Board of Regents. Over fifty TCQE members and sympathizers traveled to Co- lumbus to donate blood. TCQE 177 TCQE Suggests ' ' A Proposal to End ' ' Cannibalism ' .

Operational funds were de- rived from a blood drive in Columbus. In addition to providing a service. TCQE was paid for each pint of blood given. On campus TCQE joined a coalition of organi- zations which submitted a list of demands to the administration in May. Requests included modi- fications in housing regulations, the resignation of various administrators, and the deletion of all budget cuts. However, on May 29. TCQE chairpersons Gove and Birch announced their decision to dis- continue association with the coalition. They re- nounced the demands as unreasonable, and said that their intentions were not to pressure the administration. As the school year concluded. TCQE was rela- tively inactive. Gove and Birch spoke of plans to form a student union of groups next fall, to con- sider productive methods to maintain quality edu- cation on campus. Ol ' I TCQE 179 Not Every Class Is a Lecture LEFT: Mr. Borchart con- cealed by a mask. 7 t bump into yourself and maybe it will help you understand ' College is supposed to be instilled with niaiiv surprises, but going to your eight o ' clock half asleep and seeing your professor jump up and down on his desk with a mask on his face, or watching your professor get shot, or suddenly hav- ing rain showers pour down upon vou is probably not what you expected. These are just a few of the unusual ways in which Ohio University professors add variations to their classes to engross students in their lectures and points of view. Have you ever entered a class and wanted to do something and then reconsidered because you were in class? Mr. Robert Borchart, an Associate Professor of Art, is one professor who feels classes should involve a student in his thoughts and ac- tions as well. In one class that he taught, the stu- dents were given weekly a concept to center their thoughts upon and then they were to create some- thing dealing with this concept. Leather was one of the topics given and one of his students made a mask resembling the face of a beast. As the mask was passed around to the students in the class, their faces revealed the desire to put the mask on and act out the character of this beast, but they all refrained. He then put on the mask and did what everyone in the class desired to do, jump up and down like a beast! Mr. Borchast felt that the stu- dents expressed their own personal philosophy. It was a way of expressing their thoughts. He said, bump into yourself and maybe it will help you understand. In an elementary education art class the he taught, he showed an environmental movie on rainshowCTS to show the changes that take place in nature. To understand the true feeling, while the movie was on, he took water guns and showered the audience. His main point in the variations in the classroom was to get his students to see things in the manner as they are and not the way they are obliterated by the commercial world. ABOVE: Mr. Borchart? physical movements are an active part of his lectures. UNUSUAL PROFS 181 I wish to experience Ohio University in silence for twelve hours. Thank you for your cooperation. Mr. Paul Hersey, a professor of Organizational Behavior and Management, tried to prove to his students how difficult it is to show how people perceive things. During the class, he had someone run in and shoot him and run out. He then con- tinued to ask the students to describe the man who had shot him. The descriptions were so var- ied that when he brought the man back in for the class to look at, many protested that it was not even the man who had shot him! Students in the class all perceived the man differently. Can you imagine going into a class, sitting down and no one saying anything all quarter? Dr. Ray Wagner, an Associate Professor on Interpersonal Communication taught a course is silence. The students were not to talk; they carried a card that said, I wish to experience Ohio University in si- lence for twelve hours. Thank you for your coop- eration. By the end of the quarter students were aware of things they never noticed before and they became conscious of why and how much they actually speak. He also taught a class in which stude nts were confronted with experiences and beliefs of all types of people. He had approxi- mately thirty-five speakers tell their story. The stories ranged from an Olympic swimmer to a beer drinker to a woman who told what Athens was like in the twenties. It brought out to the students many different people and many views of the world in an informal and beneficial experience. 182 UNUSUAL PROFS LEFT: Dr. Paul Hersey. left, confers with associates.

He is an Associate Professor in Interpersonal Communications. The class studies famous trials and they can present them to the class in any manner that thev wish.

Dr. Joseph Berman, an Associate Professor of Radio-Television, has dressed like a student and sat down to talk with students to find out their views on certain subjects. When he does this he gets the students opinions the way they really are and not as they appear in a student-teacher aspect. As soon as the class begins to leave because the professor has not shown up. he gets up and an- nounces that he is the professor. Variations in the class bring many challenges, not only to the professor but also to the students. Rooting out these professors may take time, but in the long run every student is glad he didi Ol I 184 UNUSUAL PROFS TOP: Dr. Berman, on the other side of the podium.

He then goes to Singing which is taught by Jiminy Cricket and then on to Courage, taught by Dudley Dooright. Unfortunately, Dopey is unable to do the work in any of these classes and he flunks every one of them.

It was called A Day in the Life of Fantasy Uni- versity, and also won the awards for best choreo- graphy and costumes. The theme of J-Prom, A Day in the Life Of ... was completed by a magic mirror, a day- dream, the boob tube, the OLl War Memorial, and a department store. J-Prom almost wasn ' t this year, as participation was at an all-time low. The weekend used to be a campus-wide activity centered around a dance and the choosing of a king and queen. Today, the only tradition that still remains is the presentation of the skits. All participating teams must operate un- der a series of restrictions. No more than forty people can be in the cast of any one skit and all teams are given deadlines for turning in scripts. Work on scenery must be completed by a date prior to the presentation dates and penalties. As the teams move from one skit site to the next, they are not allowed to talk or allow any piece of scenery or props to touch the ground. This is to insure that all instructions are heard, and also to increase the amount of discipline necessary for the competition for the best skit. Six interested groups pushed for the continu- ance of J-Prom this year and work began on the skits. For two weeks the teams, composed of one male and one female housing unit wrote scripts, painted backdrops, made costumes, rehearsed, and according to one J-Prom participant, had and all around good time. During those two weeks, any person walking around campus in the evening could hear the sounds of laughter, sing- ing, and, No that ' s not it, do it again! Excitement grew as April 17 and 18 approached. 188 J-PROM r.. . .- M ABOVE: James and Boyd present A Day in the Life of a Magical Mirror. where everyone ' s dreams come true.

WHO ' S WHO 195 Student Workers Unite and Strike By John Kiesewetter Nearly crippling the University ' s food and housing services by a campus-wide strike in mid- April, the Student Workers Union (SWU) was one of the few campus organizations that was suc- cessful in motivating a rather latent student body. The SWU. formed in late November by a hand- ful of Nelson Commons Cafeteria dishroom em- ployees, was a weak and wavering organization un- til less than twenty-four hours prior to a campus- wide strike called for Monday, April 22. Until the strike, the organizational committee of the SWU had remained a clique of workers from the South Green and Baker Center. But on the eve of the strike. West Green cafeteria work- ers showed en masse, promising to partake in the work stoppage, if union leadership was made more representative. Three days into the strike. President Claude R. Sowle. going through the first of a series of stu- dent unrest seizures that would eventually con- tribute to reasons for resigning his position, as- sured newsmen that the strike was only an inconvenience. However, the inconvenience was multiplied by the actions of the non-academic workers, mem- bers of the American Federation of Slate, County and municipal employees Local 1699. Cooks, jani- 196 STUDENT STRIKE FlUSz Dom ' BELOW: Robert Hvnes.

Local 1699 has a no-strike clause in it.- contract with the universitv. and members were instructed to cross the lines unless their health and safety was threatened. About 400-500 members circled past the picket lines and gath- ered each morninji at the Athens County Fair- fCTDunds. After the SWl ' displayed only anemic support on the picket lines during the first two davs of the strike, the non-academic employees decided to return to work if no more students re- mained on the lines. The SWU negotiators, encamped at the . FSCME headquarters in Davis Hall with Local 1699 brass, rejected an offer to call off the strike and promised to have the lines bolstered by 5 A.M. the next dav. Bundled in blankets on a cold April morning, about .300 students— twice as many as the two pre- vious mornings, and manv of them non-workers— were clustered at the kev picket locations, . gain members of Local 1699 were prevented from working, and plans for food deliverie- to the five cafeterias halted also. A courtroom decision bv Common Pleas Judge Lowell Howard granted Ohio University adminis- trators an injunction limiting SWU pickets to three per location. The purpose of this restraining order was to permit Local 1699 members to return to their jobs. STUDENT STRIKE 197 However the non-academic employees had made a similar resolution independently. Led by University vice-presidents and security officers, members of Local 1699 marched from the fair- grounds to the West Green and returned to their jobs earlier that afternoon. There followed a brief encounter with students, security officers, and Lo- cal 1699, in which food service trucks broke thnmffh a mass of students to make the initial de- liveries of the week. The next day notices were posted around campus by the University Person- nel Director Ward Wilson advisini; students to re- turn to work by Friday or lose their status as per- manent employees. This action divided the workers; some went back to work while others re- mained on the picket lines. Pickets were few in number, and some locations were abandoned. That nipht. acting; separately and each unaware of what the other side was planning, the SWU and the university both made moves to ease the situ- ation. The SWII voted to call off the strike and place their fate in the good faith of the univer- sity at the bargaining table. President Sowle, that night on his weekly WOLTB— radio Open Line appearance, promised a representative election for all student hourly employees if and when SWU ended the strike and went back to work. A major misunderstanding occurred when stu- dents and university administrators negotiated the conditions under which recognition would come about. Sowle agreed to recognize a union which at least S0 ' 7c of all student workers supported. How- 198 STUDENT STRIKE ABOVE: Members of non-academic workers ' Local 1699 wait in line to si n in at the Athens County Fairfirounds. ever, the definition of student employee varied amont; groups, from merely cafeteria workers to work-study students. The university wanted all 1.800 student workers— ineludiii ' ; work study stu- dents — to be a part of the unit. SWU has several reasons for calling a strike. The cafeteria workers were dissatisfied with work- ing conditions, including the unsafe floors of the dishroom. sexual discrimination, wages, and the fact that all students had to pav for a cafeteria meal, whether thev ate it or not. The unions popularity was determined in a vote held on Thursday. May 23. In order for the issue to pass. 60% of the university ' s 1.800 work- ers must vote, and 40% of these votes must be af- firmative. The necessary yes votes were at- tained, but the total number of voters fell short of 60%. The SWU was not given recognition. Through the efforts of a student working condi- tions committee appointed by President Sowle, some of the student grievances were adjusted. The base pav was raised, and now stands above the new federal required wages. Added salary bonuses for seniority were also given students, and strikers were permitted to return to their regular jobs, as recommended by the committee, chaired by Uni- versity Trustee and professional labor organizer William Kircher. OUI STUDENT STRIKE 199 Who is Robin Rah Rah ? bv Hedv August The 1974 cheerleading squad, left to rif;ht. Susie Henselv. Sally Cook. Cindv Mengert. Veda Harris. Barb Bently. Carolyn Myers, Nancy Nolan. Susan Dickson, Bonnie Schulty, and Captain Linda Wilkinson. Society has its way of stereotyping people in ev- ery walk of life, and cheerleading is no exception. So without further ado I ' d like to introduce our local stereotype: Robin Rah Rah. Robin wears short skirts, knee socks and always looks cute. As every other typical cheerleader, she be- longs to a sorority and dates only football players. Chances are that she was a cheerleader in high school, and that smile smile that she was taught to wear during the games still hasn ' t worn off. Nee- dless to say, she is a physical education major and hasn ' t one brain in her tiny little body. She eat.s, drinks, and sleeps school spirit (and lots of beer, too!). On the contrary, the Ohio University cheer- leaders are a group of intelligent females with dif- ferent goals and individual personalities. Only five girls on the squad are members of a sororitv and most of them have intended majors other than physical education. Although they all get along very well with each other, each one of them has her own social life apart from the squad. Cheering is something 1 reallv enjoy. said Bonnie Schulz. Everything is so impersonal today; at least when I look back I ' ll know 1 con- tributed .something and achieved personal satis- faction. This seenw to be the sentiment expressed by most of the squad. They are cheerleaders be- cause they enjoy it as sport or a hobby. Despite any derogatory comments made bv students, they are all proud to be cheerleaders, especially be- cause of the difficulty involved in making the squad. They are all able to go places and meet people they would not ordinarilv encounter. Some 200 CHEERLEADERS LEFT: Nanrv N  lan generates spirit with a bij; kirk.

One cheerleader did a cartwheel and praeefullv kicked him in the face. Anvoiie who makes the claim that the cheer- leaders have no tah nt should take a close look. Thev seem to pride themselves on skill, and rijiht- fullv so. The execution of the gvmnastic routines are done so well that thev seem elementarv. The amount of work that the cheerleaders put into practicing often goes unnoticed. Thev come to school one week early and practice six to eight hours a dav. the only time, if ever, they practice with the band. During the school year they prac- tice approximatelv three to four hours a week. A tvpical practice session of the O.l. cheer- leading squad bears a striking resemblance to a dance rehearsal for a musical production. The ma- joritv of the squad seems to feel thai tlx ' v are be- coming more like performers than like cheer- leaders. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of student participation. hen the cheer- leaders shout for an O-H-I-O. all thev seem to get is an Oohh . . . and other assorted groans. CHEERLEADERS 201 Give Us An O Once upon a time, there was enthusiasm at O.U.. part of which was called school spirit. Bob- cats could be found cheering at every basketball and football game scheduled. But as time passed on, it too died, along with Beatle-mania, bobby socks, and coke dates. This lack of school spirit has infected colleges everywhere, so the cheer- leaders do not feel that they are alone in ex- periencing a lack of student support. Even try- outs last vear seem to reflect this apathy. Instead of the two-hundred girls who have tried out in the past, only fifty girls came for trv-outs last year. To gain the support of the students, the cheer- leaders are willing to try just about anything new. Because they receive little or no response to cheers during half-time, they are trying to choreo- graph more pom-pom routines which seem to be more popular with both the cheerleaders and their audience. But. thev have received comments that all the pom-pom routines look alike: so they have continued to look for new ideas. The cheer- leaders notice that the more exciting the game, the better the response to their cheers. When games are dull the spectators have more time to harass the cheerleaders: but when the spectators are really involved, the cheerleaders sometimes go unnoticed. ' We want to do what the kids want us to do. commented Sally Cook. Though they feel that their primary purpose is to lead cheers. Sally noted that we are acting as performers now. The cheerleaders make it a point to discuss, at the beginning of each practice session, any comments they have overheard which might be used as con- structive criticism. Linda Wilkinson, captain of the squad, seemed to feel that there were far more negative comments last year than this vear. She at- tributes this to the fact that the squad is always pe ideas. open for change, and is willing to accept any new RIGHT: Cheerleaders build up team spirit on the way lo Pe- den Stadium. ABOVE: Susie Hensely shows excitement over a poal. 202 CHEERLEADERS ABOVE: Sally and ihe Big Cat take a half-time break. Cheerleading try-outs have been the subject of controversy for the past few years. Black students have been complaining; that the judging practices have been unfair to black candidates. Thev would like to see both more black jud ;es and black rep- resentatives on the squad. All the cheerleaders claim that selections are made on the basis of skill and poise and no other reason. Members of the squad are concerned with onlv one thine;: having the ten most highly skilled girls. Meetings have been held to determine the stan- dards and judging procedures for the coming try- outs. The general requirements consist of a series of gymnastic stunts, a few cheers and judgement on voice and poise. One thing that prospective cheerleaders seem to overlook is that every school has its own style of cheerleading and O.U.s style is different than the style they may have learned in high school. That ' s why comments like I should have made the squad, are basically un- founded. Some newcomers just don ' t have what it lakes. commented a veteran cheerleader. Although the administration grants the cheer- leaders onlv $500.00 each year, no one seems to be complaining. ' When you can be cut out of the budget at anv minute, vou ' re grateful for what vou can get, said Cindy Mengert. Because they have to budget their funds, the cheerleaders do not get to travel to all the away games. Four of them usu- ally have their way paid, and the others must find their own transportation.

(expletive deleted) By Ellen Miller The world is like a giant balloon, a balloon about to burst. Knowing that I was going to write about the world events of the aeademic year has been some- thing of a nightmare. I kept putting it off, think- ing that Nixon would be impeached or he would resign and that could be the main part of my story. But it didn ' t happen. I began to ask my.self what the point was of writing about the world. How could I hope to in- clude everything that has happ ened, and even if I did give a summary of every major event of the last year, of what importance is it to the university? Ohio University is a small world of its own, with its own problems, its own lifestyle, its own set of norms. Sociologists would call it a sub-culture. But, a sub-culture is a part of a whole, and the university is affected by the events of the world. Since the days of the Viet Nam War, the atmo- sphere of campus has changed. Maybe people used to be friendlier, maybe they were more united, maybe they were more concerned with world events than they arc now. Maybe they think things have gotten hopelessly worse in the world- conflicts have built up and built up and built up and . . . The world is like a giant balloon, a balloon about to burst. An event that is foremost in most everyone ' s mind is Watergate and everything it implies. On a hot Sunday morning in June, 1972, the news broke that the Democratic National Com- mittee Headquarters in the Watergate building in Washington D.C. had been broken into. So whal; It was only a third-rate burglary, said many, but two of the burglars had a rather odd connection. They were members of the Committee for the Re- Election of the President. Questions . . . whispers . . . who planned this thing? Who covered it up? A grand jury convened to investigate, the seven burglars clammed up. Judge John Sirica pres.sed on, and finally James MeCord broke the silence. But his words had an ominous ring. He told Sirica that many of Nixon ' s top aides in the White House had known about the break-in and had planned to put a lid on this thing. More ques- tions . . . more whispers . . . suddenly, three men closest to the President resigned. A special Senate committee, chaired by Sam Ervin, began to investigate. Names, dates, places became familiar. A shocked nation watched on prime time televi- sion as Dean, Mitchell, Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Magruder, Colson and many others testified be- fore the committee. Always, in the back of every- one ' s mind. The question that they had to know the answer to— was the President involved? The Watergate committee ' s questions delved deeply into the operations in the White House. The scope of Watergate became dirty campaign tricks, illegal campaign funding and an atmo- sphere of fear and suspicion. Alexander Buttcrfield, an obscure White House aide casually mentioned when testifying that the President tape records all conversations in his of- fice. The courtroom began to buzz, suddenly ev- eryone wanted those tapes. But, the President refused to give them up. The reason? It would damage the office of the Presi- dency. Demands to hear them were relentless. A special prosecutor, Archibald Cox was appointed by the President to investigate. A Harvard profes- sor who was technically Nixon ' s employee. Cox began to dig deeper and deeper into Watergate. He supoenaed for the tapes. Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Rich- ardson to fire him. Richardson refused and re- signed. Nixon ordere l Richrd Kleindienst to do the same. He too refused. Nixon then fired Kleindienst and Cox. It became known as the Sat- urday night massacre. The nation reacted with incredible anger. Presi- dential popularity reached a new low . . . what else could possibly happen? Reluctantly, Nixon gave up some of the tapes, but several crucial ones. iiH ' ludiiig a conversation with John Dean. March 22. 1973 had mvsterious gaps. A panel of experts checked them out. and the President ' s se ' - retarv. Rose Mary Woods, was suddenly in the line of fire. The tapes had been erased. Nixon tried valiently to deep pretending that America didn ' t care about Watergate. To reassure members of Congres.s. he began Operation Can- dor, informal sessions with party leaders, but the candor just didn ' t materialize. Doubts continued to grow. And the rumblings for impeachment grew ever louder. Magazines and newspapers, many of which had been his anient supporters of the past called for his resignation.

May 19. 1974. Not manv expected that the conditions facing the uni- versity would lead to the resignation of University President Claude R. Sowle. After a week of rioting uptown over the week- end, a confrontation between Sowle and con- cerned Black Students over minority entertain- ment on campus, and the presentation of 51 demands, by a coalition of student organizations, one of which called for Sowle ' s resignation, Sowle announced that the destructive events of the last week made it impossible for him to continue under such insane conditions. Universities are tfmong the most fragile in- stitutions in our societv. It is unfortunate that in such a setting the dedicated selfless efforts of so many can be nullified by the senseless acts of so few, he said. Sowle became the President of Ohio University in August. 1970. chosen as successor to Vernon Alden. With him came his wife. Kathryn Dix Sowle. and their two childrens, Leslie and Stephen. Less than a year after his arrival at the univer- sity, Sowle was faced with the conflicts brought about by the anti-war movement. He announced the closing of the school in the spring of 1970. A year later, he began the telephone talk show, Open Line. on WOLIB radio, in an effort to open communication between students and ad- ministration. He reserved one afternoon weekly for student appointments, and held open houses at his home each quarter. Fall of 1972 brought another anti-war demon- stration, and Sowle invoked the usage of House Bill 1219; 77 persons were arrested for overtaking Lindley Hall, the ROTC building. Sowle was pres- ident during a non-academic employe ' s strike in 1972 and a student worker ' s strike in 1974. He faced a decreasing enrollment and a series of bud- get cuts. He lobbied for increased funding of higher education from the state. In 1974. he was faced with more riots, including 4 snowball melee in which he and his house became the targets. The programming conflict with the black stu- dents, and a coalition of student organizations de- manding that he resign. And he did. oui Below: In April, 1974.

' This event is sponsored bv Center Pro ani Board. is a phrase that conchides many ads and announcements of events taking place on the Ohio University campus. Center Program Board (CPB) is the program- ming arm of Baker Center, and is involved in some way with nearly everything that goes on at OU. Its job is to provide students and area resi- dents with things to do. The only administrator involved is CPB advisor Mike Sostarich. He feels that the goals of CPB are two-fold. One is to program for Baker Center. We want to make it a place where students will want to come, to make it appealing. he ex- plained. We try to have things happening here. CPB also programs for Ohio University as a whole. We want to plan activities for the entire campus as best we can, Sostarich said. We hope to aid other programming bodies with the funds we have, and with our knowledge and equipment. The Center Program Board is made up entirely of Ohio University students, ' ith the exception of the treasurer, who receives a small wage each quarter, all are unpaid volunteers. In charge of the overall operation are the presi- dent, vice-president, and treasurer. Fall and win- ter quarters, graduate student Bob Picken was president. Spring quarter, senior Bob Barber, re- placed Picken after he left school.

CENTER PROGRAM BOARD 213 1,: ■■mi m m Kw. i itfi iSfk u j_. ;u :i ' i ?y, .1-1., ' ?r mi. m! ' • . Junior Nadine Lomakin, vice-president, had task of planning all special weekends, including Dads ' , Moms ' , Siblings ' , Junior Prom and October fest. She tried to contact all the groups and organi- zations who had planned anything for the week- ends in order to coordinate these activities and list them in a program. A special committee was ap- pointed to handle this for Junior Prom. Anything and everything can fall under the headings of the five branches of CPB, which are Cultural, Social Recreational, Personnel and Leadership, and Publicity. Each consists of a stu- dent director and committee of other students with interest and or experience in particular area. The Cultural branch was one of the busiest. Un- der the leadership of senior Vickie Ullman, it sponsored Free University, a series of free, non- credit courses on topics from macrame to guitar to mixology. All were taught by students. In addi- tion, the Cultural committee sponsored art exhib- its, craft fairs, print sales, and an art-lending li- brary which made framed prints available for rent on a quarterly or yearly basis. The Cultural branch also sponsored special music events such as the performance of the Jazz Ensemble. CPB also produced and funded Roar of the Greasepaint the Smell fo the Crowd, a theater production for Siblings ' Weekend. Campus mixers, films, teas, and other gather- ings were the responsibility of the Social Com- mittee. The program was directed by sophomore Leslie Klein.

Also available were sailboats, life jackets, tents, sleeping bags, stoves, and other camping, boating and biking gear. Depending on the item, each could be rented on an hourly, nightly or quarterly basis for a small fee. Recreation also sponsored game room tourna- ments and sports excursions such as a trip to Cin- cinnati Reds Baseball game and wilderness and camping trips. The Social and Recreational branches were combined this year, but the great diversity of pro- gramming that comes under both these headings proved difficult for one director and one com- mittee to handle. Next year, according to Sostar- ich, they will again be separated. One goal of CPB is to inform and instruct freshmen about opportunities at OU. Each fall, the Personnel and Leadership branch sponsors an Organization Expo in Baker Center where various groups and agencies set up booths to display their wares. This is followed by a freshman mixer. The committee, directed this year by senior Bob Gruss, also handled the Freshmen Leadership pro- gram, a series of small, informal gatherings de- RIGHT: Folk artist Don Cooper appeared in the Cavern both fall and spring quarters.

In addi- tion, this branch did recruiting, screening, and public relations for CPB. Because planning the Music Festival is the re- sponsibility of the Entertainment branch, it is per- haps the most familiar to OU students. Headed by Junior Marc Sterneger, CPB Entertainment Direc- tor, the committee also produced shows in the Cavern and Frontier Room. This part of CBP is often confused with the Campus Entertainment Committee (CEC), which produces most of the major concerts during the year. CPB sponsors only one major concert, this year Stephen Stills, in addition to the Music Festival. The Cavern and Frontier Room are located on the ground floor of Baker Center. Some of this years ' s performers included Sonnie Terry and Brownie McGhee, John Bassette. Don Cooper, and Dave Van Ronk. The Cavern also sponsored performances by Linda Ronstadt and Jonathan Edwards in the Baker Center Ballroom. None of the programming planned by the other four branches would ever be successful without the Publicity branch. Junior Grant Castle, direc- tor, and art director, and staff handled all the publicity for all CPB events through posters, ra- dio and TV spots, and newspaper ads.

Part of this sum comes from the University Student Activities Committee (USAC). Treasurer Keith Pleuss, a senior, said that CPB presents a budget of projected expenses for the year to USAC in the fall, listing how much each event will cost, and how much is expected to come in from proceeds, ticket sales, etc. USAC makes up the difference. We try to generate our own funds. Sostarich said, but any money we earn is returned back into programming. We work on the idea to break even, he said. We ' d like to make money, especially on the Mu- sic Festival, but when we do, it goes back into the program. An example of how this works is in the plan- ning of the most expensive special weekend, Octo- berfest. The biggest expense is for hiring elec- tricians to lay the wiring and other aspects of what Sostarich called the physical plant. The week- end cost over $2,000 to put on, $800 of which was provided by USAC. The rest came from entry fees, a percentage of food sales, and from amuse- ment rides. Part of the expense for any concert is what Sos- tarich called a total package, meaning ushers, security, etc. For example, the total package for the Stephen Stills concert cost about $21,000, but the acts alone were only $12,500. The annual Music Festival, started in 1971, is the biggest project CPB undertakes, costing this year an estimated $60,000. How are the per- formers chosen? The idea, said Sostarich, is to look for a headliner, like James Taylor, or Richie Havens, and find acts that will blend in with them. CPB tried to find performers who not only had a wide appeal, but also those with a spe- cific following. Leo Kottke is one of these, he explained. He has been here before and was very well-liked. When performers for this year ' s show were an- nounced a flurry of protest erupted from black students over what they considered to be the lack LEPT: Stephen Stills concert in the Convocation Center was CPB— sponsored.

Sostarich says that generally protests from minorities concern con- certs, because many of the other CPB-sponsored events, like art shows and the prisoners photo show, are black-oriented. But I understand the problem here, he added. It always gets back to dollars and cents. We have to look for a black act with wide enough appeal to sell enough tickets to break even. Someone like Roberta Flack or Stevie Wonder would cost between 118,000 and $25,000 for the act alone. There ' s a lot of risk involved. Sostarich noted. Also, we have no city to draw from and that ' s a problem. The con- troversy was resolved when remaining funds were used to book the group Weather Report. Sostarich. in his first year on CPE, graduated from Ohio University with a master ' s degree in playwriting. He sees his position on CPB as a strictly advisory one, We have a very good work- ing relationship here, he said. I believe as an advisor to advise and not run a program. I rarely say no, unless it would be damaging to Ohio Uni- versity. I let them try just about anything. Sostarich considers his relationship with the student staff a unique situation on campus. It ' s rare that in an organization with such great funds that an advisor and a group have such a good working relationship. It ' s a cooperative thing. the Board stands financially. The only problems we encounter are last- minute things, the little day-before things, like forgetting to buy stopwatchers. But that ' s the en- joyment of the job: trying to plan to avoid problems. Sostarich felt that other CPB members should be paid for the great amount of work they do. Many other college program boards pay their staffs. Members of CPB who work on the Music Festival do not even get to see the concert . But, he added, they like doing it. We ' ve got a good group up here. Members of CPB committees fluctuates over the course of the year. The Cavern, for example, has an on-off staff of about 15, and a solid staff of about five people. The overall solid staff of CPB is about 20 to 25 people. The number increases for big projects or special weekend. Any Ohio University student can be on CPB. Directors and officers are chosen through screen- ings held in the spring quarter and sign-ups for committees occur in the fall. Anyone can screen for any position, Sostarich said. There are no restrictions. Center Program Board ' s most important feature in Sostarich ' s opinion, is that it is a student orga- nization. It ' s run by students with student funds who will be responsible to other students. om CPB ' s most expensive special weekend is hiiniicdminp ' s OctoUer fest. 220 CENTER PROGRAM BOARD ABOVE LEFT: Ted Kadish an.

Their problem? Lack of student interest. Al- though a campus-wide vote is held every fall to choose the SGB members, only a small percentage of student vote. According to SGB president Terry Hagley, the reason is because students don ' t have the time to get interested in SGB. Students are only here for four years and they don ' t see why they should be involved with only that much time. Students fail to see how anything can be accomplished in that short of a period, he said. Hagley also explained that workshops have been held in the past in an attempt to educate stu- dents about SGB An attempt must be made to get out among the students and clarify your prod- uct, he said ' . This year, SGB was active in some of the con- troversial issues on campus. They helped to circu- late information about the budget hearings, which, according to Hagley was of a great aid to students. The most controversial event that SGB has had to deal with, said Hagley, was the coali- tion ' . The students pressured us to join and to ver- bally support it. We did to a certain extent, he explained, but I thought it was inappropriate for SGB to join a non-representative organization with regard for the number of issues involved which had nothing to do with the university or student government. Although many people question whether or not there will be an SGB in the future, Hagley advo- cates, there will definitely be an SGB, as the uni- versity is committed to the concept of having a representative body to the students. oui LEFT: SGB Secretary Fred Billeter.

By Ellen Miller Fourth floor Baker Center: the telephone rings in 424. Good afternoon, the ATHENA. Uh, could you tell me what time the movie starts? ' The scene unfolds early fall quarter. It is the start of a roup of people working for a cause, working to accomplish something, often wonder- ing if it is all worth the time and effort. Some- times it seems like thankless work, other times the rewards are plentiful. The first order of business after the staff was chosen was to prepare the 1973 books for mailing. The staff undertook this duty in order to save money on shipping costs. Among the piles of books, boxes, tape and address labels, the staff be- gan to know one another and to work together for the first time. About how many more do voii think we have to do? What time is it? Let ' s quit for tonight and finish tomorrow, okay? But somehow the books were all boxed up, taken away and work on the 1974 books began. There were meetings to decide on content and style, deadlines and costs. Paragon Press was hired as the printer of the book. Each year, bids are sent out to printing companies that have shown an interest in printing the ATHENA. The bids includes everything that might be a part of the book: how many books, page size, use of color and special effects . . . The companies then bid according to how much they would charge to print the book. The staff selects the printer according to who they think has the Above: Michael MrGraw.

The Posl. With over 12,000 copies distributed free on and around campus each day, it is for many students their major contact with what ' s happening in the University and in the outside world. This is perhaps one reason that The Post staf- fers (all students) and their reporting come under close scrutiny. The Post has long been a subject of controversy at Ohio University. Editor P. J. Bednarski, a senior journalism ma- jor, noted, The Post is the only paper that most kids read. We have a pretty big responsibility to try to give them world, national, state, local, and University news in 8 to 10 pages. Sometimes that gets pretty difficult. Also, he added unlike most papers, we have a policy of printing critical letters about ourselves. This makes it an accepted position to dislike The Post. Most other papers won ' t do that. ABOVE LEFT: Editor P. J. Bednarski. ABOVE: News and Copy Editor Donald Hevmann. LEFT: Wearv Posties pull another all-nighter in the staff room in the basement of Baker Center. THE POST 229 The Associated Collegiate Press awarded The Post the rating of All-American for journalistic excellence for the fifth year in a row. Thousands of College papers are scored annually, and The Post received a total of 3,780 points out of a pos- sible 4,000 in five areas of newspaper journalism. Over 100 Ohio University students are on The Post staff. About 60 editors, photographers, typ- ists, and production and business staffers are paid. Printing is done at the Athens Messenger, the city newspaper. Overseeing the paper is The Post Publishing Board, a committee of faculty members, two stu- dents, one Athens resident, and one adminis- trative assistant. Their purpose is to advise The Post on a long-term and day-to-day basis. They also choose the editor, and have the power to re- move him or her from their position if they feel that person has not adequately answered a com- plaint or has failed in their journalistic responsibility. Over $155,000 was needed to produce The Post in the 197.3- 74 school year. S3 1,000 came from the Office of the Vice-President for Academic Services. The rest was supplied through advertis- ing revenue and subscriptions. The biggest story of this year, according to Bed- narski, was the strike by student cafeteria workers. I was so proud of the staff on the strike cov- erage, he said. We literally worked our asses off. Former Athens Police Chief Charles Coch- ran ' s alleged check write-offs and Ohio Univer- sity ' s budget problems also made many headlines. When did The Post hesitate to print a story? When we ' re requested not to, with good reason; when we ' re leery of the facts; when it ' s inflamma- tory, said Bednarski. With weightier issues, he added. The Post often consulted informally with legal counsel to make sure they were in bounds. Bednarski described his personal feelings on The Post. I ' ve been on The Post since my very first day here as a f reshman, and I ' ve never had the chance to be a student first and a Postie sec- ond. I think I ' ll probably be the least remem- bered editor of the last ten years. I ' m a whole different person now. I ' m more careful about what I say. I used to be a lot more crazy. But it ' s really been a neat experience. You can get damn tired of it, but you get paternal about it. It ' s a kick— in a strange, gratifying way. Some people can ' t see having a devotion to an inanimate object like a newspaper— but we do. OUI ABOVE: Managing Editor Bob Tkacz.

Associate Editor THE POST 231 Budget Cuts Limit Black Newspaper The slogan beneath the name plate reads, A Critical Voice of the Black Community. Afro- American Affairs, a student newspaper written and produced by blacks at Ohio University, has often been the subject of debate and controversy in its four year history. But according to editor Ron Johnson, it ' s controversial on purpose. The paper is meant to serve as a basis for dis- cussion of typical questions relating to blacks in this country and abroad, and to give local, state, national, and international news, Johnson said. We aren ' t afraid to take a stand on an issue. Johnson, a senior Radio-TV major, emphasized as well, the community aspects of Afro-American Affairs. It ' s a black community paper, he ex- plained, for black students, faculty and towns- people. We want to inform them of what ' s going on and get them involved. Afro-American Affairs was begun in 1970 un- der the auspices of the Center for Afro-Americans Studies. The number of issues was cut back from 15 to 9 this year, due to cuts in the Center ' s bud- get. Only $2500 was allocated to publishing the paper as compared to 16500 the previous year. Though past staff members have been paid, this year ' s had to be entirely volunteer. We couldn ' t even afford to buy photo supplies! Johnson claimed. Our biggest problem is money, he said, but that ' s tverbody ' s biggest problem. He com- mented that the paper needs alternatives for fund- ing other than through the Center, whose main purpose is academic. The business staff has ap- proached the University Student Activities Coun- cil, Ohio University President Claude Sowle, and has solicited subscriptions and donations from out of town. However, Johnson said the most promis- ing possibility is to obtain more funding for the Center from the Office of Academic Services. Staffers use the facilities of the Post for produc- tion. The Athens Messenger prints 3000 copies of each issue. This amounts to twice the black enroll- ment at OU, and Johnson interprets this as an in- dication of the paper ' s wide appeal to all groups. RIGHT: Sports editor Robert Moran. including whites. Though we try to make people in Athens aware of the special problems that con- front blacks here, he said, we also corner ques- tions like the fight for quality education, which do not concern only blacks. An advisory board of faculty and students keeps a watchful eye over Afro-American Affairs. Women comprised 50% of the 16 staffers and white and international students have served in the past. Though much of the paper is devoted to analy- sis, Afro-American Affairs also stresses sports and culture, with a special emphasis on poetry. John- son noted that it is widely read off campus, and is sent to all African embassies in the U.S. and to many European and African nations, oui 232 AFRO-AMERICAN AFFAIRS ABOVE LEFT: Manag- ing editor David Kidd and advisory board member Dwight Kirk check proofs.

After an initial three issues in humble black and white in 1970, Athens Magazine has grown to its present 64 page four color format. The maga- zine is annually entered in the Society of Profes- sional Journalists college magazine competition and is currently considered one of the five best in the nation. In addition, Athens Magazine has won first place in the society ' s region four for the past two years. Officially, Athens Magazine is known to Ohio University magazine sequence journalism students as Jour. 431, a three hour class. Few students, however, let the innocent looking number in the course catalogue fool them for Jour. 431 is much more than just a three hour class. The organization of the class is modeled after a true magazine staff and production schedule. Stu- dents are assigned to various positions, editorial, art staff, photography, business, etc., after in- dicating their interest. Leadership and guidance are provided by the adviser, Byron Scott. Associate Professor of Jour- nalism, and a core of independent study students. These students occupy the senior positions and all have previously worked for the magazine. Since the staff changes every quarter, these independent study students provide continuitv and direction during the production of the magazine. No student is left out because there is much to do. All layout and design, copvfitting, photoscal- ing, pasteup and proofing, is done entirely by the student staff. In addition all of the students must also pitch in and sell advertising and many are as- signed to write articles. Athens Magazine receives no funds from the School of Journalism. Rather, it must keep its own head above the financial sea thus giving stu- dents a taste of the reality faced bv independent magazines. Revenue is derived solely from adver- tising and newstand -sales. Subscriptions plav a mi- nor role in the magazines financial structure.

CO Ohio ' s Football Team Rebuilds According to an old sports cliche, there are four steps in transferring; a losing team into a win- ner; Regroup, Rebuild, Regain. Respect. In 1973, the Ohio University Bobcats football team experienced all four. The Bobcats were coming from a 1972 season that saw them lose their final six games of the year by lopsided scores, en route to a 3-8-0 record. They continued their ineptitude into 1973 by los- ing their season opener, 35-7, to Kent State, and following with a 35-8 loss to Toledo. However, Coach Bill Hess seventeenth team at Ohio was regrouping around veterans quarterback Rich Bevly, fullback L.C. Lyons, defensive back Ken Carten.sen. defensive end Larry Knorr, line- backer Bill O ' Hara, tailback Bill Gary, and line- man Jeff Beam. The rebuilding process centered around under- classmen tailback Dave Hueston. middle guard Bruce Ague, defensive back Charley Williams, RIGHT: Fullback L. C.

FOOTBALL 253 tailback Ken Woodson, linebacker Roger Ko- epfle, and split Mike Green. The Bobcats began the regain process by up- setting the Big Ten foe Northwestern and giving Mid-American Conference champion Miami their closest game of the season. And, once again, the Bobcats were a team to be respected, as they ran off four victories in the final half of the season. Only Penn State, with Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelleti, (outstanding player of the year) marred the Bobcats ' second stage. More important than the mediocre 5-5-0 season record that the Bobcats compiled in 1973 was the fact that much improvement was shown, espe- cially by the younger segment of the team. Fresh- man Hueston finished as the team ' s leading ground gainer, and sophomore Green led the team in pass receptions. Woodson a freshman, was first in kick-off returns, and freshman Ague, soph- omore Koepfle, and junior Williams were stand- outs for the defensive unit. With Bevly, Lyons, O ' Hara, tackles Tim Harri- son and Mike Nugent, and flanker Rick Lilienthal returning next year. Bobcat football promises to be outstanding. It appears that the old cliche has been proven valid by Ohio and coach Hess. OUI ABOVE RIGHT; Senior tailback Bill Gar sweeps, past a Kent State defender.

FOOTBALL 255 Soccer ' Turning Point is costly Often in college athletics, a team can retro- spectively point to one game or match as the turn- ing point of the season. Whether they win or lose that particular event usually determines if the sea- son will be successful. For the first year Coach Dr. Gianni Spera and the Ohio University soccer team, the turning point of the 1973 season was not a match that was won or lost, but rather one that was not played at all. Spera, an Italian professor at Ohio, volunteered as coach when the athletic department terminated the salary of the soccer coach. He termed the schedule of this year as lousy. The Bobcats scored five victories and one tie in their first six games and seemed on their way to their best sea- son ever. Then came the Cleveland State game, a match which Spera says, still weighs heavily on my stomach. The match marked the first time the ' Cats had played on an artificial surface, and Spera said that it took them thirty minutes to ad- just, and by that time it was too late, as they lost. 3-1. Spera revealed that Ohio could have claimed a victory by forfeit because of certain irreg- BELOW: Dhio ' s John Felfiamacher. lefl. reaches an impasse. 256 SOCCER LEFT: Erir Winders (in while jersev).

In 1973 Ohio cross country coach Meade Burnett returned onlv one of the previous seasons top seven runners. Mark Vernacchia, so Burnett was forced to field an inexperienced squad of three sophomores and four freshmen. As predicted, tlie Ohio runners were inconsist- ent through their dual meets. However, in their final tune-up for the Mid-American Conference Meet, the Morris Harvev Invitational, the Bobcats seemed to indicate that thcv were ready to chal- lenge for the MAC title. Ohio placed second in the five team meet, trailing winning Rio Grande by only two points. But in the pressure-filled MAC championship meet, held at the Athens Country Club, the ( ats crumbled. The top Ohio runner. Ron Dunfce. only placed 29th and Les Adler finished 33rd. No other Bobcat runner finished in the top half of the 70 man field. Eastern Michigan wop the meet with .56 point.s. The Bobcats 224 points placed them in ninth in the ten team meet. With the entire starting team returning next fall, added to the experiences of this season, it is hopeful that Coach Burnett will be able to put the band memories of this season behind him.

CROSS COUNTRY 261 Rugby Continues Success and Growth The popular student conception of rugby play- ers may be of a bunch of crazy, boozed-up jocks, but according to player— coach Dr. Peter Griffiths, there is much more to rugby than that. Griffiths, a chemistry professor at Ohio, says Our rugby program is very good, and getting better all the time, and the student support is very good. Griffiths points to the runner-up position that the team attained in both the Tri-State Tourna- ment and the Mid-American Conference Tourna- ment, (Miami was first in both), and the 11-8 record that the team compiled despite a tough schedule and some key injuries. The players paid the bulk of the team expenses themselves, according to Griffiths, and also re- ceived some aid from Phase I, an Athens bar, and Keck Distributors, also of Athens. The major role that these two played was providing refreshments for the post-game parties which the Ohio team held for their visiting opposition after every home match, regardless of the match ' s outcome. The organization of the rugby season is differ- ent from that of any other college sport, as the team actually plays two complete schedules, one during fall quarter, and the other during the spring. In the fall of 1973, Ohio won 7 and lost 2, but in the spring of 74, which Griffiths called disastrous, the Bobcats lost six while winning 4. Between fall and spring quarters several mem- bers of the team usually leave the university, and it is not unusual for some of those players to turn up on an opposing team in the spring. Griffiths said that the Cleveland Old Greys. who Ohio played in the spring featured four former Bobcat ruggers. Outstanding players for Ohio during the season included leading scorers Jim Broomfield and Frank Carlone, and defensivemen Tom Pinardo and Dave Wallace. Besides the varsity, or A , team. Ohio had B and C squads which gave some of the new players a chance to pick up valuable experience. Griffiths says that there are plans to field a fourth team next year, because of the great interest in rugby at Ohio University.

Among the Ohio oppo- nents were national powers Notre Dame and Ohio State, and the winner of the Midwest Lacrosse Championship. Chicago University. The major difficulty for Norman and the team was the same difficulty that the other club sports at Ohio (rugby and hockey) have: that of a lack of recruiting money, however. Ohio managed to come up with several outstanding players. Four team members were selected to the Mid- west All-Star team. They were sophomore Frank Kaplan and his brother, freshman Kenny Kaplan, both defensivemen, and attackers , or offensive players, junior Steve Dehyria and senior Brian Teeple.

Ohio swim- mers devote anywhere from four to six hours per day practicing, an amazing amount of time consid- ering all of the swimmers are full-time students at the University. The benefits of the arduous practice schedule were not seen during the regular season, as the Bobcat swimming team lost nine out of twelve dual meets, including four losses in six meets against Mid-American Conference (MAC) oppo- nents. The Cats went into the MAC champion- ship meet as definite underdogs. However, according to Fletcher Gilders, the Ohio coach. Each individual gave llO ' Tt in the MAC meet. This abundance of effort gained the Bobcats a surprising third place in the se en team meet. Ohio took six first places in the meet and set five school records in the process. Standout performers at the M. C champion- ships included senior Bill Pritchard. the team s most outstanding who won the 50-vard and 100- vard freestyle races, and sophomore Rov Cheran. who won the 200-vard butterfly and the 200-yard individual medley. Brian etheridge. a freshman from London. England, was superb for Ohio in diving, as he lost only once during the season in dual meets. The Ohio swim team had been on the decline since winning consecutive MAC championships in 1969, 1970, and 1971. so the strong showing of the ' 73- ' 74 team was very welcome.

SWIMMING 267 Ohio Wins Again Wrestling at Ohio University is not just a sport it ' s a tradition. In ' 73—74, for the fifth straigh year, the Bobcat grapplers captured the Mid American Conference championship and com peted in the National Collegiate Athletic Associa tion tournament. They finished 22nd. Although the roster included only three se- niors, the Ohio wrestlers showed surprising poise and ability in winning thirteen dual matches, while losing only three and typing one. One of the losses was a 24-10 thrashing at the hands of MAC rival Central Michigan ' s Chippewas, but Ohio came back to upset the favored Chippewas in the conference title match. Junior Kurt Blank was named to the Ail-Ameri- can team, as he won the 177 lb. classification in the MAC, and then upended defending NCAA champion Rich Binik of Iowa State University at Ames, Iowa. Blank, who finished 12-3-2 during the season, was sixth in the NCAA tournament in his weight class. Blank ' s co-captain, senior Andy Kohlhepp, was 12-2-0 in the 142 lb. weight class for Ohio, and 167 lb. Jack Raver, a junior, was 11-1-0 in the dual matches. Freshman Tim Shoemaker was a pleasant surprise in the 138 lb. class, winning ten out of eleven matches and leading the team by pinning four regular season opponents. Coach Harry Houska, former All-American wrestler, will have a lot of talent back for the ' 74- ' 75 season.

In past basketball seasons at Ohio, a team that won sixteen games while losing ten en route to a Mid-American Conference championship and a NCAA tournament berth would cause for celebra- tion. The 1973—74 edition of the Bobcats accom- plished all that, but instead of celebration, it was a season marred by sharp criticism from the press, students, and other fans. This dissatisfaction on the part of the fans resulted in the resignation of veteran coach Jim Snyder, who quit after his twenty-fifth year at Ohio. The unrest among Bobcat followers was caused by the team ' s failure to live up to pre-season ex- pectations. The ' Cats returned stars George Green. Walter Luckett. Bill Brown. Denny Rusch. and Dave Ball from the previous season ' s 16-10 team, and had two outstanding freshmen. Larry Slappy and Ulice Payne. Hopes ran high for not only a MAC championship, but also for a team that would finish in the nation ' s top twenty and possi- bly even win the Mideast Regional NCAA tournament. However, the Bobcats got off to a very slow start. They opened the season by losing to per- ennial Big Ten patsy Northwestern, 83-81. After winning two games, Ohio went westward where three top-flight opponents manhandled them. Utah, a team that was to be runner-up in the Na- tional Invitational Tournament defeated the ' Cats by a 71-68 score. Then UCLA, then ranked num- ber one in the nation, buried the Bobcats, 110-63. for their eightieth consecutive victory. Southern California, the evetiial runner-up in the Coaches ' Association Tournament, completed Ohio ' s dis- astrous western trip, winning 80-68. Ohio then won eight of their next nine games and finally showed signs of living up to their pre- season promise. They owned a commanding lead in the MAC and were receiving votes in the lop twenty poles. But Jekyll turned back into Hyde as the ' Cats lost four of their next five games, three of them being league games. Jeers and boos greeted the Bobcats as they took the home floor against defending MAC champion Miami. But Ohio knocked the Redskins from con- tention, 85-70, and won their final three confer- ence games by a total of four points to clinch Sny- der ' s seventh MAC crown.

' Cats Win MAC The Bobcats prepared for the NCAA tourna- ment without Rusch. who had quit the team after their MAC clincher again.st Bowling Green. The 68 senior, who had been a prime target of irate fans during the season, gave academic and physi- cal reasons for quitting. Rumors were rampant that Snyder, who was being called outdated by followers, would either resign or be fired at the end of tournev plav. Most basketball writers rated the Ohio-Mar- quette match-up in the NCAA as even, but the -Marquette warriors, who had beaten Ohio in the 1972 tournament bv a score of 77-79. once again embarrassed the Bobcats befo re a national televi- sion audience, beating them 86-59. Among the bright spots for the 73-74 basket- ball team was the plav of sophomore guard Luck- ett. Averaging 23.2 points per game. Luckett emerged as one of the top players in the country. Green and Brown were very effective as forwards, and Slappv proved to be an outstanding passer and defensive player. Rusch and Ball were generally inadequate at Center, but the real person for the inconsistent plav of the Cats may have been team dissension. This certainly was a factor in the decision of Slappv and Payne to transfer from Ohio next year. Luckett and Green will be the only returning front-line players new coach Dale Brandy, a former assistant to Snvder. will have to build around next year. 1974-75 will be the beginning of a new era in Ohio University basketball, the post-Snvder era. Ol 1 BASKETBALL 273 Money Woes Plague Hockey Team Finance is the key word in assessing almost any Ohio University team, but in discussing the ice hockey team, finance is almost the sole consideration. Ever since his team was reduced from a varsity sport last year. Coach John McComb ' s chief worry has not been the quality of his team, but whether or not his team can get their bills paid. McComb estimates that the operating cost of the team is well over $7000 per season. The hockey expenses are much higher than those of the other club sports because of the cost of hockey equipment. We spent $3000 on sticks alone last year, and it costs us $1300 to rent the ice of Bird Arena just to have a place to play. The lacrosse and rugby teams don ' t have to pay anything for their playing fields, he said. To help financially, the team began charging students for admission into games, and also re- ceived some aid from local merchants. Never- theless, very little money is available for use in re- cruiting players, and thus, Ohio cannot draw the potential AU-American recruits that it needs to be- come a national power in hockey. Through cor- respondence with prospects we are able to obtain enough experienced players to keep us com- petitive,: McComb said. The 11-10 record the team compiled in the ' 73- 74 season is good, according to McComb, con- sidering that the majority of our games were played against varsity (university-funded) teams. McComb, who coached the soccer team for ten years and the hockey team for the past sixteen. calls the third Western Michigan game the high- light of the season, as the Bobcats beat a team that had beat them previouslv by scores of 10-4 and 11-2. Particularlv effective for Ohio was the front line of right wing Gerry McTernan. center Rob MacDonald, and left wing Mike Barger. Those three accounted for 70% of the Ohio goals in ' 73- 74, and set four new team records. MacDonalds 36 assists was a new record, and he and Barger each set new one game assists records. McTernan set two season records, for seven hat tricks (three goals in one game), and for thirteen power play goals. Also, the team tied the home ice victory record bv winning nine games in Bird Arena, and goalie Brian Teeple set a record with 7.3 saves in the Western Michigan victory. However, Teeple and the three members of the front line, along with eight others, will be lost to graduation for next year, McComb is hopeful of continued success next year, and is reiving on sophomore Bob Bray and freshman Sean Heggie to pick up the scoring slack left by the three de- parting front-liners, and continued great defensive play from junior Brian Heggie, Sean ' s brother. We ' ll have a good group of young men to work with next year, with a lot of freshmen. We ' ve cut down on the number of varsity teams on next year ' s schedule, and we won ' t be out- classed by anyone in any of the games, McComb said.

HOCKEY 275 Baseball Team Fails to Regain Title Get back the MAC was the rallying cry of the Ohio baseball team in 1974, as Coach Jerry France ' s team sought to regain the Mid-American Championship that they had lost to Miami in 1973. For most of the season it appeared that the baseballers were going to make good on their pre- season vow, but the team lost four of their final seven league games and ended up in third, with Miami winning the MAC championship again. The heavy hitting of senior catcher Jax Robert- son, who batted .311 with 8 homeruns. and Dave Tobik, a junior who batted .301, led the Bobcats to first place in the MAC until the final three weeks of the season, when losses to Bowling Green and Toledo dropped them into second. They then hosted Miami for an important doubleheader that they needed to sweep. Tobik pitched the Cats to a 1-0 win in the opener, but an unearned run in the second game gave Miami a 2-1 victory and a split of the series. The following week. Eastern Michi- gan consigned Ohio to third place by sweeping them, 1-0 and 2-0. Statistics show the Bobcats to have dominated their opponents in 1974, as Ohio outbatted the oppositton, .286 to .191, hit 27 home runs as com- pared to 9 by rivals, and averaged 5.30 earned runs per game, while holding opponents to an E.R.A. of 2.45. France attributed the ultimate downfall of the team to the failure of the defense and hitting in clutch situations.

Ohio has a reputation as being a baseball school (eight former Bobcats are currently play- ing in the major league), and that reputation should extend into n xt year, as all but five of this year ' s team will return.

BASEBALL 279 Young Golfers Take Third in MAC A horrendous second round, which dropped Ohio 19 strokes out of first place, precluded any possibility of the Bobcat golf team winning the Mid-American Championship match. However, Coach Kermit Blosser ' s team outplayed every other team in the match in the final three founds, and managed to salvage a third place finish. Blosser ' s team, which contained no seniors, also finished second in the Ashland Invitational, and won the Falcon Invitational and the Kent In- vitational, in a season that seemed to foretell a very powerful golf team for next year. Freshman Mark Flockenzier, whose father formerly played for Blosser at Ohio, was particu- larly outstanding in the MAC meet, shooting two rounds at a season ' s best score of 67. Junior Brian Webb was the top player for the year, finishing the season with a 76.5 average. Eric Bartoli, a freshman with a 76.7 average, Junior Blake Watt, with a 77.5 average, and sophomore Benny Blake, who had an average of 77.9 were the other leaders of the Ohio University golf team.

Klein was completely satisfied with his team ' s performance dnrini; the 1974 season, and pointed out that his team finished aboye eight other teams in the league, although Ohio had a lower budget than anv of the other teams. Junior Phil Joffev. number one singles player for Ohio, upset Miami ' s Ken Daniels in the MAC tournament for the first time in fiye tries, and went on to finish second. Number six singles player Tom Orr. a senior, also finsihed second in the MAC. Freshman Gene Fields battled to first in the number fiye singles for Ohio. In addition to Joffey and Fields, number two singles player Peter Kendall, a junior, sophomore Sleye Elkis. the number four singles plaver. and doubles players freshmen Eric Fjortoft and Tommy Eiler. and sophomore Rich Faber all re- turn for Ohio next year.

TENNIS 281 Tracksters Crippled by Injuries, Inelgibility The two major antagonists for the Ohio track team in 1974 were not Bowling Green, league run- ner-up, and Med-American Conference champion Eastern Michigan. Rather, injuries and aca- demic ineligibility combined to deal a death blow to the Bobcats chances of winning the MAC. The first attack from injuries came before the season ' s beginning, as Kevin Weitz suffered a fractured shin. Weitz, from South Africa, was Ohio ' s top man in the half mile, quarter mile, and was to anchor the mile relay team. Then, long jumper Bill Currie was put out of action by a pulled hamstring. Nasser Seidu, a vital constituent in the 880-yard relay, the 440-yd. relay, and sprint medley relay, was injured on the eve of the MAC championship meet. Academic inelgibility got into the act by forc- ing Mike Mims off the team. Minis. Ohio ' s best long juniper and triple juniper, had finished in second place in both events in the MAC ' s indoor track meet. Low grades also caused the Bobcats to lose half-miler Prentice Wenson. In the face of these kev losses, the fifth place fini.sh the team managed in the MAC has to be considered satisfactory. Senior Rick Dowswell provided the seasons highlight by becoming the first four-time javelin champ in MAC history. Dowswell. the NCAA ' s champion in 1972. set a new MAC record with a throw of 262 . An Ohio school record was broken bv junior Bob Long, who won the league shot put with a toss of S8 3 ' 2 . Other standouts for Ohio included criii)r ( liarlcs Adams, who finished second in the high jump, sophomore Bruce Greene, second in the 120-yd. high hurdles, and senior Levi Gause. who placed third behind Greene. With the majorilv of the team returning next season, the Ohio track record should be im- proved, if they can overcome injuries and aca- demic problems and devote their efforts to more conventional opponents.

TRACK 283 Women ' s Intercollegiate Athletics: Chance For A New Beginning By Debbie McDaniel For the women athletes at Ohio University, 1973-74 was filled with many ups and downs. The main lift for the women came with the release of the 1974-75 budget for the Women ' s Inter- collegiate Athletics (WICA), from the $3,500 in 1974 to $20,000 in 1975. Added to that figure wUl be funds to pay the salaries of WICA ' s coordina- tor, Barbara Berry and a full time coach. The coach ' s duties will include not only coach- ing three intercollegiate teams, but teaching in the HPER department where she will provide ' release time ' for the other coaches. In September when the hiring of Berry as coor- dinator was announced there was a feeling of hope in the air. But in 1974 the downs have far out- numbered the ups. The good news announced at that meeting was that the women would no longer have to pay the $7.50 to receive the required physical, nor would they have to take private cars to the games or pay for their own meals and lodging. WICA would take care of these expenses. The way Berry accomplished being able to af- ford these expenditures when past coordinators couldn ' t on the same budget, was that she used all the allotted money on fall and winter sports. There are four sports during that period of time, with five spring sports. If the money wasn ' t found spring sports w ould go. Fortunately John Milar, the university treasurer, came up with $3,700 from his reserve fund and the spring sports were funded. The following is a short summary of each of the eight sports which make WICA. The field hockey team never really got its feet on the ground this season until the state hockey tournament. The women had a 1-5 regular season slate with their only win coming over Ohio Wes- leyan, 5-1. At the sute tournament held at Ashland college, senior Ka- ren Miller ' bumps the ball to a teammate to spike. 284 WOMEN ' S ATHLETICS Against Wittenberg College at the state tournament, fresh- man Pat Lilienthall hangs in the air waiting for the right time to spike the ball. In Ohio ' s win over Wittenberg, Karen Miller and Peg Amos (right) block a spike as Pat Lilienthall looks on. Ohio won this best of five match, 3-1. At the State tournament the women beat Lake Erie College 7-1 in the first round, then beat Denison 2-1. In the semi-finals a psyched-up squad handed Wooster a 1-0 loss. Wooster had beaten Ohio during the regular season 2-0. The team then lost to Ohio State in the finals, 2-1. It was during this game that Ohio used an ineligible player and were disqualified from their finish a few weeks later. The scoring attack was paced by freshman Mary EUen Runei with 10 goals. She scored seven of the team ' s eleven goals during the state tournament. The Ohio squad placed five members on the (Ohio) Buckeye II squad. This is a squad made up of Ohio ' s top collegiate players. Ohio University ' s players were Gail Schneider. Mary Ellen Runei, Susie Robert, Kathi McGirr and Joanne Smith. Wendy Weeden and Janet Steels were selected on the Buckeye I squad. Weeden was selected captain of the number one team. At the Great Lakes tournament Wendy Weeden made Great Lakes I, while Janet Steele made Great Lakes III. Both went to the national tourna- ment in Boston, Massachusetts over Thanksgiving break. It was at this tournament that Wendy Wee- den was selected to the United States Reserve Field Hockey Team. She became only the second player in Ohio University history to be so named. Anita Corl received the same honor last year as a senior at Ohio University. WOMEN ' S ATHLETICS 285 Swimmers Fight Uphill Battle The swimming team had an uphill battle against their schedule. Not because of the teams they faced, but due to the fact that their schedule started two weeks after they arrived back at school. It ended prior to the Thanksgiving break. WhUe the team had the swimmers they needed to have a great season, they didn ' t have the time to prepare themselves prior to the season. At the MAC Championships, Ohio placed fifth, while the swimmers were posting the best times of the season. By the time the swimmers are in shape the season is over, commented the coach Carol Voelz. Next year the season will extend into win- ter quarter and she hopes the swimmers will have the time to adequately prepare themselves for the season. The volleyball season was highlighted with a home sweep of a triangular meet with Wright State and Denison. Ohio beat Wright 2-1 and Denison 2-0. While the collegiate competition ended with a 10-5 record the team stayed together and played in the United States Volleyball Asso- ciation. Ohio didn ' t fare so well in the Ohio State Tournament held at Ashland College this year, as they lost all three of their matches, to Wooster, Wittenberg and Wright State.

BE- LOW: Left to right-Candy Bell, Wendy Weeden, Janet Steele, Susie Roberts and Gail Schieder. . .iJ l i-r r • The basketball team had the best season of any women ' s basketball team ever at Ohio University as they finished the season at 14-6, third place in the state tournament and the at-large bid to the Regional tournament held at Terre Haute. Tndiana. As good as the team was on the whole, the team was still unable to break the curse that Ohio State holds over them. In the second game of the season against Ohio State in St. John ' s arena, the pressure got to the players as they hobbled and missed easy shots, losing 50-33. But unlike last year the loss did not destroy the team ' s spirit, but built team unity. They would lose only twice again during the regular season, to Ashland and Marshall. Ohio went into the tournament with the cards stacked against them due to a bad draw. Even though both Ohio State and Ohio University had beaten Bowling Green during the regular season, BowUng Green was placed above Ohio University in the ranking of the teams. Ohio was placed in Ohio State ' s bracket. Ohio had no trouble in the first round as they beat Wittenberg, 54-39. The next morning they faced Ashland College in the most exciting game of the tournament. Ohio had lost to Ashland dur- ing the regular season, 66-48. Ohio fought back from a nine point Ashland halftime lead to draw within two points with less than a minute to go. Ohio ' s Susie Roberts was fouled and she hit both shots to tie the score at 51-51. Pat LLUenthall was fouled and the freshman responded with two points to put Ohio up 53-51. Ashland then used as much time as they could before a comer shot put them even with Ohio at 53-53. The ball ex- changed hands several times in the next ten sec- onds and with seven seconds on the clock it was Ohio ' s ball out of bounds. Ohio put the ball in play and they desperately passed it back and forth looking for an open player. With one second showing on the clock the ball roUed off Sue Ash ' s fingertips and touched only net as Ohio won 55- 53. While Ohio was busy in their hard fought battle with Ashland, in the gym next door, Ohio State ' s substitutes were easily taking care of Woos- ter College while Ohio State ' s coach was resting her starters for their game that afternoon with Ohio University. Ohio University again couldn ' t break the spell OSU has over them as they made the same mistakes and lost 66-40. Ohio then beat CedarviUe College 48 2 to claim third place and the at-large bid to the re- gionab. At the regionals they lost to Indiana Uni- versity and Western Michigan. Junior Julie Cole averaged over 16 points a game for the Ohio squad this year, and led the team in scoring, while freshman Pat LilienthaU provided the spark for the audience with her be- hind-the-back dribbling and difficult shots. The lacrosse team broke a tradition this year LEFT: The Ohio Swim team, seen here in a relay race, high- Ughted their season at the MAC Championships. ' WOMEN ' S ATHLETICS 287 Cagers Take Third In State-On To Regionals that has lasted since the team was first started five years ago, the finally lost a game. For the season the team ended with a 1-5 record. Catherine Brown, coach and founder of the sport at Ohio University chalks it up to the fact that at times the team was made up more of first year players, than players with two or three years experience. Another factor leading to the team ' s lack of success this year could be blamed on the lack of any consistent offensive attack. While the defense was very good they couldn ' t hold off the offensive attack for the entire game. At the Mid-West tournament Ohio placed four on the Mid-West I: seniors Wendy Weeden, Kathy McGirr, Candy Bell, and Leslie Rogan. Junior Sally Mitchell made Mid-West II. They partici- pated at the National tournament in Philadelphia over Memorial weekend. OPPOSITE PAGE; TOP-Senior Kathy McGirr eyes the opposition before passing.

WOMEN ' S ATHLETICS 291 Lacrosse Sends Five To Nationals In Philadelphia The tennis team ended with a 4-4 season with it ' s first doubles team of Debby Ghezzi and Judy Appel, both juniors, making it to the semi-finals of the state tournament before being beaten by the eventual champs, Ohio State. The team was hurt this year with inexperience in all positions. Ghezzi and Appel were the only players from last year ' s varsity team. The Softball team posted their second straight undefeated season with a 11-0 record. The team will lose only four seniors from this team and with the freshmen they have they can look forward to an exciting season next year. The bright spot is their freshman pitcher Vala Crabtree, who strikes out batters with as much regularity as she hits home runs. Vala was a plus .400 hitter and the team ' s leading pitcher. The golf team consisted of one player, junior, Juhe Cole. While Julie didn ' t play in anything other than the state tournament she fared well. Most colleges are now scheduUng their golf matches as a fall sport and according to Julie, Ohio will be in them in the Fall, hopefully with more than a one-woman show. If the success of WICA was to be measured only in terms of the financial gains it has made this year, the organization is extremely successful, hut those aren ' t the only measuring devices offered. WICA has failed to attract new members to its organization. The number of participants is fewer than ever before. A great deal of women are play- ing in two and three sports, thus cutting down the number of participants. But the important factor about WICA is that the women who are involved are more and more coming into the teams from other areas of the uni- versity, not just the physical education department. The women ' s program has grown verv quicklv over the past year, and how it survives depends entirely on whether or not the women will work together for WICAs success.
