Ohio University, a very traditional, untraditional place. Today we look back on our school ' s past: its rich heritage, its progress through the years, the vio- lence of the 60 ' s and subsequent enrollment decline, a recent rise in enrollment and pride. We wonder, where is OU today? A whole new attitude has invaded the campus. Most of us seem to be here to get an education, have a good time and get a job when we get out of here. Days of war protests and riots are virtually gone. Instead we see the return of some hallowed traditions like homecoming, football and studying, and some not-so-hallowed ones like the infamous graffiti wall and an unplanned Halloween party in the middle of Court Street.

But an assortment of the new and old combined to create a new future for OU. Progress became the administration ' s goal. The most obvious blast of the new came from the College of Osteopathy. Other progress was more hidden. The modification of the pass-fail and ABC grading systems signaled increased efforts to up- grade academic standards. Athletics got more atten- tion with increased fund raising. The Freshman Residential Program was revised in efforts to better meet student needs. While plans called for a more comprehensive uni- versity change occurred all around us. Progress caught us between two eras. Demolition crews wreck Super Hall, one of the school year. Although the building was destroyed, the traditional graffiti wall behind it remained untouched. 6 Opening d tradition Right: A community float presents the tradition of America ' s two-party system Below: A Bobcat volleyball player attempts to block an opponent ' s spike.

No doubt, life here is dif- ferent. For the most part we ' ve lost our activism but still played an impor- tant role in election ' 76. And yes, we still had disturbances, but some- how they weren ' t anywhere near the same. There ' s new pride in the institution, shown not only by spirit at football games, but in attitudes. We ' ve seen the renewed interest in the typical college life and just plain getting an education. We ' re basically comfortable here in our own little world of Athens, where we ' ve felt the new touch of tradition. A touch of tradition. Ohio University 1976-77.

Opening 9 Just a typical day here in Athens By Bill Pappalardo With a turn of a cog or two, your GE clock radio ac- tivates and greets you with the latest in AM primal rock. You squeeze that last embrace from your pillow, and discuss the pro ' s and con ' s of rising. It ' s too damn cold, (roll to the right) I ' m too tired, (roll to the left) I ' ll get the notes from somebody tomorrow , (roll to the floor) and the list goes on as you hobble toward the bathroom. Last night ' s Millers have taken their toll: the shower is a definite challenge, but press on You dress slowly, a kind of indirect protest. Breakfast is optional: those with a strong constitution will rough it with a quick glass of water and a cookie Walking is an art in Athens, and this morning is no different than others. Jeff Hill looms in the distance like Kilimanjaro Halfway up the huffing and puffing starts, legs quiver, while others going in the opposite direction simply smile as they glide down the slope. An accelerated heartbeat reminds you that half of your journey is over: the daily obstacle course awaits. The first thing to remember when walking uptown is to forget about being a nice guy in traffic. Nice guys in Athens get broadsided by ice cream trucks. It ' s every man for himself in traffic, so refuse to buckle under the feat: be aggressive, intimidate oncoming cars, jaywalk, group lobby through the crosswalks for the right of way. Good pedestrians are tardy, and who wants to be tardy. You push onward to class, passing parking meters, stray dogs and double-parked beer trucks. Inside the classroom, professors are waiting to lecture on Everything you always wanted to know about being an intellectual, but were afraid to ask. Students leave the dorm and head for morning classes dressed for rain or sleet, the typical Athens weather 10 Just a typical day here in Athens thfi morning Durell Hall Above: Students without cafeteria meal tickets start the morning with a donut and coffee from Carol Lee ' s Below: An East Green resi- dent heads for class in the rain Below right: A student starts the usual routine of unrolling her hair curlers, as she prepares for class Just a typical day here in Athens 11 12 Just a typical day here in Athens. Craig Holman Just a typical day here in Athens With this knowledge secure, and Post in hand, you head on to lunch. Most dorm people will wait in for- malized lines to be served boiled hamburgers, or a varie- ty of other treats Those on the New South Green will be sophisticated and scramble once inside the cafeteria People in outside housing usually improvise With the mid-day meal behind, there is no turning back. Your blood starts to circulate, and the rigors of walking flights of stairs or trying to manipulate the elevator have taken effect: you are wide awake and there ' s nothing you can do about it The afternoon continues; due to scheduling, some will have to repeat the morning climb to afternoon classes, others out of class pass the time by waiting. Some will go to the bank to wait in line, preferably behind somebody with 200 penny rolls, while others will go to Hudson Health Center and wait in the lobby for their names to be called And yes. there ' s many other possibilities The three weeks ' worth of laundry that has piled up unbelievably beckons some. Chubb Hall is another possibility, and a few will go to the war monument to discuss the philosophical meanings of life. Of course, one could always use the afternoon to study, or better yet some just take advantage of the time for a nice peaceful afternoon nap. As the sun sets over Athenia. the student body migrates back to its various cubby holes about town. The stomach calls again Evening has arrived A student uses her afternoon to do laundry as she heads down Court Street to the Warsh Tub . Just a typical day here in Athens 13 Just a typical day here in Athens With the arrival of evening, dormies will retrace their steps to the cafeteria, fingers crossed, with the sweet fragrance of Bohemian steak lingering in the distance. Elsewhere, outsiders will pay for their independence by suffering the slings and arrows of Hamburger Helper ala Chile Con Carne. At dusk on the corner of Court and Union, a tall, skin- ny guy that looks like a scarecrow is packing up his fruit concession in order to make way for an infamous character known only as Louie the Bagel Man. Night- time has arrived. In the evening hours many students will pass through the revolving doors of Alden Library, The Great Temple of Learning, to do battle with the card catalogue and textbooks. When not booking, the uptown shuffle is a nightime option. Clientel can choose between several different types of bars; there are conscious social out- lets such as the Union or Frontier Room, and there ' s always the CI or the Phase when a good, irresponsible drunk is needed to soothe those midterm blues. Deck Lounge or McGoos are convenient for those who require a more refined atmosphere, and there ' s always Baker Center, where just about anything can come off. Wherever a student roams, hunger is usually a step behind. Whether it be uptown or during those all- nighters, Athenians will always engage in the ancient ritual of ordering a pizza from Dominos. The Maxwell House will flow until the wee hours of the morning, until the words begin to make no sense. The eyes start to flutter and the bedroom will call again. New South Green residents return to the serving line for seconds of ham and potatoes. 14 Just a typical day here in Athens the evening Left: Students use their evening hours to study on the second floor of Alden Library Durelt Hall Above loft: A student with recreation in mind purchases a six-pacK at the carry out Loft: Students relax and watch television in a dor- mitory TV lounge.

Ohio University tradition dates back to 1804. Things did break from tradi- tion in the recent past. However, it was not a break from tradition in so much as it was simply a sign of the times. Tradition is not new, but only be- ing renewed at Ohio University. To- day is reminiscent of 173 years of rich heritage. The university was founded on the basis that schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. The means of education has always been and still continues to be encouraged at O.U. We ' ve grown from one bui lding, one professor and three students to over 100 buildings, 800 professors and nearly 14,000 students. Nothing has really changed. Life in the 1960 ' s was simply a deviation from the norm. In fact, student rebellion itself is not so uncommon in the past. Ohio University first ex- perienced disorderly students in 1834 when the president, Robert Wilson, termed a rowdy student dis- turbance as boisterous, disorderly and reprehensible. Tradition was renewed this year in yet another area. Plans for a medical college at Ohio University date back to 1823. The plans became reality with the addition of the College of Osteopathic Medicine. The continued tradition is evident in many areas. Academics have always been stressed. The University is now returning to a traditional grading system by eliminating the ABC and pass-fail options. Discus- sion has also centered around possi- ble freshmen requirements. Athletics have also been revitaliz- ed. Ohio has quite a record of ex- cellence in athletics, even as recent as the early 1970 ' s. Interest in Greek Life is increasing also. This is only a return to the past when nearly all Greek units had 75- 100 members. Tradition is really not a change for Ohio University. It is not new, only renewed. The University has con- tinued the pursuit for academic ex- cellence through a century of expan- sion and today finds itself returning to the tradition of its heritage. 18 Tradition: Renewed or New? or New ? College t. i ' r ' i : • m By Susan Wolbert It is ironic that many of the non- traditional things happening at Ohio University are in reality tradition bas- ed. However, the differen ce is that they are untraditional for this cam- pus in light of the past 5-10 years. The rise of Greeks and increased greek life activities is one such thing. During what might be called the radical years or years of unrest at OU to be a Greek was considered passe and unimportant. Greeks were often mocked and taunted. Now, however, changes in attitude have occurred (untraditional views for this campus) which have brought expanded in- terest in and Greek activities. Another occurence that is non- traditional is the very trend toward traditionalism. School pride, in- creased interest and participation in athletics, and a new view about education are some of the examples of this changing attitude. No longer is education just considered a four- year playtime, academics are on the rise and students have become much more professionally, career oriented. There are other things which are non-traditional in themselves regardless of past history. These in- clude a dwindling amount of con- certs for what used to be a concert- goers haven, the forced shutdown of The Post once a week as a result of financial problems, the use of and emphasis on women ' s sports as valid athletic endeavors, the crowd- ed, hard-to-get-into classes un- reminiscent of the 1 10 teacher- student ratio of previous years, and the complete change in on-campus housing arrangements and regulations. Also the new student is a change. Promising a marijuana referendum on the spring ballot, it is a sign that tradition has not yet taken a firm hold. These occurences, com- bined with the traditional influence now pervading the campus, are all products of untraditional thinking — a change, not a renewal. Tradition: Renewed or New? 19 20 Risk, Life, A game of Risk, Life and Go to the Head of the Class By Sharon Pearcy Do Not Pass Go; Do Not Collect $200; Do Not Balance This Year ' s Budget. It ' s almost a game, the running of a university. ' ' It ' s a game of Risk. Life and Go to the Head of the Class all rolled into one. You risk building new dorms to accommodate extra students and end up going back three spaces because enrollment suddenly drops. You spin to recruit good students, but are penalized publicly because of riots and a party school image. And, landing in a national inflationary period does nothing for the shape of your budget. But let ' s play another game for a moment, a game called Future The object is to maintain a poverty stricken university on a lower-than-ever budget without letting academic standards, facilities, or student satisfaction drop. It takes balance and coordination, but the Ohio University administration has had a few years of practice. Any number of persons may play this game. In fact, as the number of players increases, more money rolls in, and the game becomes easier. So what does the Future really hold for O.U.? There are two ways of looking at the question: 1) from the side of administrative planning; and 2) from the side of student reaction to those plans. The latter was gathered, for this article, by questionnaire. A randomly selected group of 1 00 students was asked to respond to questions about new University proposals and ten- tative plans. The best place to begin an analysis of the University is where the student does; at the admissions office. Ac- cording to Dr. James Walters, director of admissions, this year ' s 1 3,809 student enrollment increased for the first time in five years. Freshman enrollment jumped 1 6 per cent and transfer students. 29 percent In the past, enrollment peaked in 1 970 at over 1 9.000 students and then steadily declined to the 1975 low of 12,800 What has spurred the recent increase? For the past two and a half years, we have practiced an aggressive marketing policy, said Dr. Walters. Research shows that if we can get the student to Athens, the campus will sell itself. ' ' Thirty new programs have been developed, including the scheduling of eight prospective student weekends Although we are encountering the party school ' and low standard ' images daily, they are considerably weaker. he said. Perhaps this attracts the students not applying to O U. who are more conservative, straighter. and more career-oriented in Walters ' opinion. Surprisingly enough, the admission requirements are less strict than they were ten years ago In the 1 960s. the large number of students applying allowed the University to be selective Now, we cannot legally be selective until all the dormitories are full. stated Walters And how do you fill your dorms? One way is to tear some down so there aren ' t as many. Howard Hall has already bitten the dust, and the administration has its eye on Scott Quadrangle With less dorm space. O U will be able to practice a more selective admissions policy The future of admissions entails reaching the 1 4,500 student mark and then self-imposing that ceiling The reason for the past decline in enrollment was that the in- stitution got too big, too rapidly, says Walters. We don ' t want to get that big and pay the price again. The admissions office is seeing a more serious stu- dent applicant. according to Walters, one who is more career-oriented and conservative. Walters uses the phrase drugs are down, beer is back to describe the social habits of this new breed But what do the students themselves have to say. and what do the statistics show? Statistically. 83 per cent of O.U. students visited the campus before deciding to attend, and most chose the school because of the campus or an academic depart- ment Of the 1 0O students who responded to the questionnaire, 68 per cent felt that the University ' s public image was improving and 70 per cent noted a change in the type of student now attending Oil. Most thought that the improvement stemmed from an ad- ministrative crackdown on admissions and that, as a Craig Holman The campus is portrayed in a miniature model in Baker Center Risk, Life, Go to the Head of the Class 21 Risk, cont. whole, students were becoming more study-minded. Those who dissented cited last spring ' s riots as a step backward for O.U. ' s public image, and one response described the new students as duller people. We want to provide a ' reasonable ' place for students to live. They should enjoy the living learning environment and want to return. states Arthur Gibson, director of housing. The enjoyment of dorm living is a personal thing, but the administration does keep tabs on what options could improve the situation. Freshman dorms were established two years ago and no serious problems have appeared from the Housing office ' s point of view. International students have now filled two dorms, and the number of graduate students living in University housing has increased by 30 per cent. Of the 43 dorms in existence. 39 are now occupied. Because the enrollment has increased, four previously closed dorms were reopened fall quarter. We expect the present number to be sufficient for any future ex- pansion, however, said Gibson. What changes will the future bring? Tentative suggestions include offering more room and board plan options, or more special interest activities. Another plan would allow students to live in dorms with others in their own academic major, somewhat like the Honors Tutorial and graduate students programs. Is the Housing office providing an enjoyable, reasonable place for students to live? The student opi- nion on freshman dorms was split down the middle: half felt it was a good program, half disliked it; the ad- ministration saw no real problems. As for the ten- tative suggestion for dorm divisions by academic major, 64 per cent thought the idea would be too confining. The future of the curriculum and faculty areas hinges on one phrase: budget cuts. This year, we just have to cut and get by, said Dr. Joseph Tucker, assistant provost. And it looks like the curriculum will have to continue to get by for the next several years unless the state increases its support. The situation isn ' t totally dismal, however, because of the addition of a seventh college, the new College of Osteopathic Medicine. A freshman class of 24 students initiated the program which is expected to grow to 500 students within ten years. Promoters of the school an- ticipate that all of the West Green will eventually be eaten up by medical services. President Charles Ping, in his State of the University address in September, expressed his desire that O.U. emphasize its liberal, rather than professional, studies. Will there, consequently, be more strict general educa- tion requirements? The Freshman ABC grading policy, which allowed freshmen to drop D ' s and F ' s, was abolished in November. At that time the Faculty Senate was also considering a university-wide English com- position requirement. Any additional new courses will create a need for more professors, a need which might feel the financial pinch. No new professors are being hired, and those who go on leave or retire are not replaced, according to Faculty Senate Chairman Richard Bald. Full-time Athens campus faculty numbers have dropped from 1 ,- OOO in the 1 960 ' s to 700 at the present time. We were really in the doldrums two years ago because of the interim president, the severe budget problems, and the dropping enrollment, said Bald. The faculty attitude has improved some lately. he added. Mostly, it ' s just a watch-and-wait-and-see feeling. Everyone watches and waits to see what kind of reorganization and shuffling will occur in the curriculum and faculty areas due to budget cuts. One accepted fact is that tuition will continue to go up. Other than that, the future lies in putting our imagination to work on the task of becoming more comprehensive. said President Ping.

When questioned about the abolition of the ABC grading policy, only half of the students thought that its abolition was a good idea, whereas the prospect of a university-wide English requirement brought a 70 per cent agreement Faculty size and availability were deemed sufficient by 79 per cent. What is the typical Ohio University student doing about his own future? One outlet for personal planning is membership in an organization and the number of groups in existence is increasing. By the end of the year, we should have 200 groups listed, said Carla Hirschfeld, director of student organizations. Students first organize their own clubs and find their own advisers. Then they petition for funds from the University. The current total organization allocation is $40,000. Each request must be approved by the Stu- dent Financial Board, the Student Activities Commis- sion, and the Student Senate before any money is doled out, but the funds are available. The money is impor- tant because it is the most tangible way students see that the University supports them, stated Hirschfeld. Hirschfeld feels that more and more students who are joining organizations realize that it ' s not just what goes down on the resume, but what is gained from the experience. Recent trends show an abundance of club sports cropping up. What future plans are in the works for student organizations? Such activities as leadership con- ferences and special help sessions for goal setting, agenda planning, and personal conflict problems are of media coverage . . . already being attempted. damental shift in attitude We intend to do more work with groups, said Hirschfeld, With our limited manpower, we want to serve as many students as we can and give them more than they ' re expecting. Of these students polled, a vast majority belonged to a campus organization, Greeks included. Only 19 per cent admitted to joining a club strictly for use on a resume. The administrative plans and perceptions and stu- dent reactions given above are only tentative. Who knows what financial miracles may occur, or what tragedies? It ' s all a game of chance no matter whose viewpoint is taken. Most administrators and students are optimistic. When asked what they thought were the two biggest improvements O.U. could make, students offered anything from the practical, more parking spaces, to the strict, accept only those in the top 1 5 per cent of their graduating class. Lower tuition was consistently mentioned as was the need for more con- certs and campus entertainment.

Much changed in the time that Ping has been at the university helm including: an increase in enrollment, a new college of osteopathic medicine, a new set of ad- ministrators and new plans for the future. Ping ' s rhetoric flowed as he described his prime rol e. He saw it as drawing the campus into a coherent whole, develop- ing a sense of whole and community-commonness from the many priorities and goals of the overlapping groups in the university and developing the resources necessary to ac- complish these. Craig Holman Ping discusses the need for liberal education with Belinda Scrimenti during the Spectrum GREEN interview. changes Ping has seen has been a fundamental shift in at- titude. In his State of the University message he stated, we have begun to show faith in ourselves, in the quality of the life at Ohio University and in our future. He cited the translation of at- titudes back into the home communities as a major reason for the attitude change. He also noted an attitude change in The Post. He remarked that, It is just a feeling that the world is changing. Ping said he saw the Ohio University students as a diverse student community. He described them as, more sophisticated and metropolitan than students at most state in- stitutions and commented that it makes life on this campus different. He calmly described the students recreational habits on Court Street as not un- usual for students and added that they (Court street bars) were only more heavily concen- trated in Athens. He also ex- pressed pleasure at the students source of delight through use of the area ' s parks and recreation areas. With the removal of the pass- fail system and ABC grading system for freshmen, the revitalization of the liberal studies became one of the ma- jor themes of the year ' s ad- ministration. He cited a need for a structured curriculum but added, Courses are a means to the end but whether or not they are the only means is another question. He said he favored a com- position requirement because there is a need to develop the basic language skills and sen- sitivity to correctness in style and use of language. Ping defended the academic quality of the university with the comment, The measure of a university ' s academic quality is in its graduates. It is the only objective validity. He sup- ported this with a quick list of names and titles of successful Ohio University graduates in various fields. Ping has not attempted to run the university alone. He said he felt the role of leadership was in part depen- dent on persuasion and that he had commensurate authority with his handpicked administration. He described the character of university deci- sion making and administration 26 President Ping as integrated, interdependent and shared. Describing his job as demanding and satisfying, he said the problems and challenges of trying to go beyond what you can do is among life ' s most satisfying and rewarding activities. He concluded, It makes the job worthwhile. A year later Ping seemed satisfied with his job, his ac- complishments and the future of the university. His strong sense of calm pride pervaded his flowing, polished speech, leaving the impression that Dr. Charles Ping had every inten- tion of drawing the campus into a coherent whole.

Craig Holman University Publications Photography President Ping 27 By John Micklos The 1 976-1 977 academic year was a time of transition in many ways for the Ohio University administration. The addition of the new College of Osteopathy, the dormitory rate changes, the new class schedule, and the move toward a more liberal base of student studies all represented an attempt to set the University on an even keel, both financially and academically. Neil Bucklew. the new provost, said, For me, it ' s been a year of get- ting oriented. He added with pleasure that he felt the institution was involved in a clear turn-around in its financial and academic problems. Bucklew was also pleased with the progress of the College of Osteopathy. He felt that it opened up A new vista for the university and provided a special outlet for the basic science programs.

Below: Dean of Students Carol Harter speaks with reporter John Micklos. 28 Administration New faces, new strategy Harter, Bucklew find year a time of transition deleting ABC grading for freshmen and moves to require a more liberal base of studies for students are all good steps for the University. He felt that the move toward a more liberal course of studies is in line with the way the pendulum is swinging nationally. There is a re- affirmation of the role of the liberal education. Bucklew was instrumental in help- ing establish the new class schedule which has the University opening earlier, and then closing from just before Thanksgiving until after New Year ' s. He said that energy conser- vation was the main reason for the move. During February, a controversy arose over the appointment of Gerald Faverman as vice-provost for planning and development. Universi- ty President Charles Ping and Bucklew made the appointment without consulting the faculty, and members of the Faculty Senate resented being left out of the selec- tion process. Bucklew defended the decision saying, It was not the situation of a bad appointment. Dr. Faverman brings a special set of abilities to the office. Overall, Bucklew was pleased with the progress the University has made this year. Looking to the future, he would like to see a finan- cially stable budget with fewer reductions. I would hope that we have the good spirit to plan together openly, with diligence and without anxiety. Dean of Students Carol Harter is in charge of virtually all non- academic functions of the Universi- ty. Her duties include preparing budgets for the General Fund and the dormitory system. In all. she is responsible for budgeting over $14 million. Harter said the priority problem of her office is improving the quality of student life while also dealing with day to day fiscal management. The major new program this year was raising the dormitory rate and Provost Neil Bucklew discusses the freshman ABC grading system. changing the new board plans tor next year. While admitting that the dormitory changes (which include the curtailment of free linen and telephone service) would hurt many students, she pointed out that the new board plan was more flexible and desirable than any we ' ve ever had. Harter was pleased with the progress her office has made in balancing the budget. She said the new programs will generate about one million dollars in extra revenue next year, meaning that the state will have to assume less of the Univer- sity ' s debt burden. I think we ' ve done virtually everything human beings can do. The University made important strides both academically and finan- cially during the 1976-1977 school year toward alleviating already ex- isting problems while trying to avoid new ones. The success of the new programs will have a great influence on the course of the University for many years to come.

Administration 29 —arfT- . £ Balancing the budget between state spending cuts, debt and inflation By Cyndi Woods Change and fluctuation charac- terized the 1976-77 university budget. Due mainly to a state- mandated one per cent cutback an- nounced fall quarter, the budget passed through several phases of in- determinacy to reach a calmer stage that Ohio University President Charles Ping called a more hopeful two-year biennial budget cycle. In January, Ping remarked, We have made a lot of progress in the area of fiscal stability. He admitted there has been a scramble caused by the state budget reductions and that space and debt problems are unsolved. He added that we have begun to deal with the state and are getting better public reception. The financial decision that most affected students resulted in a $10 surcharge for fall, winter and spring quarters for the 1976-77 school term. Fee increases became in- evitable for many state universities but the tuition hike greatly affected OU, making its tuition among the highest in the state. Another cut directly influencing students was the reduction in programs and staff of the Student Center with the largest cut hitting the tutoring program. Free personal tutoring to freshmen was virtually discontinued. Baker Center ' s ice cream shop was also closed as a result of the cut. Geen Reed, director of University Food Services, stated that the shop was not near to breaking even. Many colleges within the universi- ty had to deal with substantial cut- backs. The College of Education ex- perienced a $21,000 reduction. The College of Osteopathic Medicine in its first year had to adjust to a $7,000 reduction. A $71,000 reduction was made by the College of Business Ad- ministration. The College of Fine Arts made reductions to meet its $45,000 cut. And the College of Arts and Sciences took the biggest blow with a reduction of $136,000. Several areas under the dean of students handled the second largest cut of $77,000. 30 Budget With such intense financial shifts, how could the university have an op- timistic look at the future? Long-term plans and projects forecast a more stable future. The Ohio Board of Regents had allocated more than $10.7 million in capital improvement funds for the university in the up- coming biennium. Although the funds fell short of the $28 million the university requested, it still provided a base to work from. The College of Osteopathic Medicine was to receive the largest share of the money, $9.2 million. Efforts were made to improve the enrollment by the Admissions Office personnel. Enrollment was important in determining the budget. The OU Board of Trustees adopted a $10.9 million residence and dining hall auxiliary budget which indicated an increase of approximately 500 dor- mitory residents over the 1975-76 figures. A look into future plans indicated a desire to convert space. stated President Ping. Plans were being made to transfer Grosvenor Hall, and a second unit, from the auxiliary fund to the general fund. Ping said, It would be cost effec- tive for the state. I hope they ' ll b uy it in total. A more explicit show of what is to come is the tentative 1977-78 budget which estimates a one to four per cent increase in income for the next fiscal year. However, each university budget area will be limited to no more than a five per cent increase in funding requests for 1977-78 due to low estimate of additional income. The top budgeting concern will be increased salaries for faculty, ad- ministrators and classified workers. A one per cent contingency fund which would give the University about $400,000 in reserve is part of the tentative budget. The planning-before-allocations process implemented last year by President Ping was being used first to identify objectives and goals for areas then to allocate the funds. • i VI Above: A student bill is given to every student with their preregistration form.

The major issue ot the year was the increase in tuition and the Senate ' s reply was seen by many students as a joke. The increase in tuition for winter and spring quarter was necessitated by Ohio ' s Governor, James Rhodes, who ordered a one percent across- the-board reduction in the state budget. In response, the OU Board of Trustees placed a $10 surcharge on tuition. However, the administra- tion and the trustees reached this decision without consulting the Stu- dent Senate. Essentially we were real angry because we weren ' t consulted in time on that and it seems that only students are paying, said Monroe Slavin, president of the Senate. We were indignant, especially the peo- ple in the Senate, that we weren ' t contacted, because we were told last year when they passed the constitu- tion, when we were elected to office, that the big thing will be: ' Yeah, you ' re going to be the voice of stu- dent opinion, you ' re going to be the ones we go to, ' but we weren ' t gone to. And thus was born the famous nickels operation, later changed to quarters. For the students who ex- pected better from their government it was a short change. Originally the plan was to have students pay their entire tuition in nickels. As this would necessitate 66 pounds of nickels per person, the plan was changed. In its final form, students were to pay only the $10 surcharge and in quarters, not nickels. Amidst the resignation of several members, who refused to go along with such a ploy, the campaign began. But support among students for the Senate ' s plan was very weak. Said President Slavin, It ' s not to slow down the collection process in Chubb, or cause more work there. We want, as a matter of fact, we urge you to go in early so you won ' t run into that, but it ' s a very graphic representation of our displeasure. The fact is that Ohio is fifth in ability to fund higher education, 46th in ac- tual funding of higher education. But most of the students did not agree with Slavin, and the plan was closed down after much controversy, argument, a call for impeachment, and a great loss to the Senate ' s credibility. While the coin plan had Student Senate President Monroe Slavin presides over a meeting. He said apathy was the biggest problem the Senate had to deal with.

Slavin said his administration was very much ' in tune ' with what students want and very much oriented between getting solid fac- tual arguments and mobilizing students to voice their opinions so that when we do take a specific issue, all the students are involved in it, not just the folks in the student government. The Senate did get some things accomplished, although the main focus of activity and media coverage was on the coin drive. A series of talks was held by the senate concerning Who Governs O.U.? Testimony was given by Senators to Public Utilities Commis- sion of Ohio (PUCO) concerning the schedule of Greyhound buses. The Senate joined the National Student lobby and sent a representative to the Students Legal Rights Conven- tion in Kansas City. A fund raiser which lost nearly $200 was held. Perhaps the most important thing done was the establishment of counseling sessions held in the dorms, at which students could talk to, question, and receive advice from members of each academic depart- ment. A weekly newsletter was proposed and the Senate helped sponsor a benefit concert for the Post at the end of fall quarter. The Outside Housing Commission compiled a guide to off campus housing. Letters were sent to all state legislators to discover their views concerning funding for higher education. Also a poll was taken to determine student ' s views. The Center for International Studies was given a seat in the Senate to enable more participation for foreign students. The Senate helped to Craig Holman Monroe Slavin shows his less serious side while typing a letter in the office. promote a Stop Rape seminar and standarized course and teacher evaluation forms were also prepared. Clearly, the Senate did ac- complish much. And yet, the Senate has never had much participation from the majority of the student body. After the old Student Governing Board abolished itself in April 1975, there was a clear need for some form of student representation in the decision-making process of the University. A task force was set up, headed by Virginia Mansfield. Her task force worked hard for several months preparing a new constitution for a new student government. In February 1976, Mansfield led a series of open debates concerning the constitution. But as if a predic- tion of things to come, very few peo- ple participated. Finally in March came the vote as 34 Student Senate to whether or not to ratify the con- stitution. Twenty-five percent of the student body was needed for ratification. However, student apathy prevail- ed, and only 22% of the student pop- ulation bother to vote. Those who did vote were overwhelmingly (over 90%) in favor of the new constitution. But the student government was established anyway, as President Ping set aside article VII of the con- stitution (which required a 25% tur- nout). The next step was the election of the three major offices: president, vice-president, and communications director. After a somewhat un- orthodox campaign, Monroe Slavin defeated Virginia Mansfield and two others to become the first president of the Student Senate. Jeff Mason was elected as vice-president, and Peter Adler easily won the com- munications race. Surprisingly, however, the voter turnout was about the same as the vote for ratification of the constitu- tion, much higher than expected. Following the election of the three executive officers, chairmen for the academics, federal, state and city gov ' t., financial, judicial, outside housing, publications, student ac- tivities, residence life, student employment, and minority and women ' s affairs commissions, were chosen. These ten positions were all appointed by Slavin, Mason, and Adler. Finally in the fall quarter, elections were held to determine represen- tatives, one from each of the 11 college and degree-granting in- stitutions, one from each green, and six from outside housing. The elec- tion for these posts was again mark- ed by low voter turnout as only 17.5% of the student population bothered to mark ballots. Further- more, two positions were left open Left: Anne Goff. advisor, works with sometimes hectic Student Senate. Below: Front row: Matt Skellenger, Virginia Mansfield, Shelly McCormick.

Then the three green councils each chose a represen- tative. And finally in winter quarter a representative from the Center for International Studies was added, bringing the total membership to 37 The operation has thus far been marred by many resignations, both in protest of the coin campaign and for personal reasons. Student Senate is, I suppose, the formal title, but I always put an s ' on, the government of the students, plural, students ' . said Slavin.

He compared Ping ' s attitude to that of past President Alden. Under Alden, said Rohr, the school experienced a period of growth and the athletic department grew with it. When Sowle became president, things began to bot- tom out and the athletic program did suffer, said Rohr. 36 OU Sports: Back in the Ball Game Left: Frank Morgan, sports information director (center) listens to a Green and White Club member at one of their Tuesday afternoon lunch meetings Above: Bucky Walden dribbles past a Marietta opponent back in the ball game However, when Ping took over last year.

The Beginning By Scott Love Just inside the rear entrance of Grosvenor Hall a skull sits in a display case. At one time the display case might have held a poster telling about the next dorm party, but now the case tells about a new phase of Ohio University history Grosvenor Hall is still the name on the side of the red brick building, but the OU College of Osteopathic Medicine calls it Medical Sciences I. This fall the school welcomed its first class of 24 students. The formation of the OU College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-COM) resulted from the efforts of the Ohio Osteopathic Association (OOA). The OOA started its drive in 1972 with a resolution to form a college of osteopathic medicine somewhere in Ohio. The reason for this push, according to OU-COM Associate Dean for Planning, Ron Black, was that Ohio had no osteopathic training facilities even though the state had the third highest number of doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO ' s) in the nation. In 1973 the OOA ' s House of Delegates started a fund for the establishment of a college by charging each member $50 In 1975 the association increased its support for an osteopathic college by raising each member ' s contribution to $2 50 annually for six years. But it took more than money to form OU-COM. legal battles also had to be waged. In 1 973 the Ohio Board of Regents rejected a plan to raise the number of medical schools in Ohio from four to six despite a presentation by the OOA stating that the creation of two new schools would help alleviate the shortage of primary care providers (General Prac- titioners) in Ohio. Regardless of this rejection, in 1975 a bill was in- troduced into the Ohio Legislature by Rep. Tom Fries (D-Dayton) to form a college of osteopathic medicine in Ohio. The bill was later amended to specifically place a school at OU OU was chosen to help alleviate southeast Ohio ' s physician shortage. In 1976 southeast Ohio ' s patient-doctor ratio of 2213 to 1 fell well below the national average of 670 to 1. The bill was passed in the Ohio House in March, 1975, and it cleared the Ohio Senate in July. Gov. James Rhodes signed the bill August 18, 1975. Five 38 College of Osteopathy Tradition of OU COM months later $3.8 million was allocated for the physical transformation of Grosvenor Hall into Medical Sciences I. State and OOA money was supplemented by a four- year federal start-up grant of $240,000 The federal money allowed the original class to be expanded from 1 8 to 24 students and helped pay for more equipment. Between March and September of 1 976 the former dorm was changed into a classroom. The wide open spaces of the kitchen and dining areas allowed easy transition from a cafeteria to teaching facilities, accor- ding to Black, which is why Grosvenor Hall was chosen to be the site of the school The high ceilings also provided space to hide the ductwork. The first phase of the pr oject included building anatomy labs, lecture rooms, a projection room, an audiovisual room and other structures. This work was completed by the time the class arrived and one member of the class said that was all they needed for first year instruction. More renovation is planned to be completed at the end of 1 977 to complete the change with the addition of more labs, offices, seminar rooms, two elevators, a television studio, a simulation room and administrative facilities. Plans have been initiated for the acquisition of Irvine Hall, which would become the next OU-COM building. James and Wilson Halls may also become part of the school Osteopathy has had to fight for recognition since it was formulated by Andrew T. Still. In his book, Philosophy of Osteopathy, Still said that he founded osteopathy in June, 1 874, as a reaction to drug doc- toring. Still felt that the body possessed its own ability to cure itself and added. I want it to be understood that drugs and I are as far apart as East is from West; now, and forever It should be said that much less was known about the effects and proper dosages of drugs than is known today. Still felt that the body should be treated as a unit; that ailments shouldn ' t be isolated to one organ. One of the major means of treatment he emphasized was Bill Wade Ron Black, an administrator of the school, knocks on the door of what was a dorm room and became a lab manipulation, which he claimed would help diseased organs return to normal function. Today manipulation is still used in five to ten per cent of the cases osteopaths treat, with modern drugs and surgery used more often. At first osteopathy was lumped together with several other cult practices like eclecticism, homeopathy and chiropractics. and only allopathy, the M.D.s, was recognized The cults were looked down upon by the medical establishment, the allopaths, often for good reasons, and many died out But osteopathy has sur- vived and appears to be gaining strength OU-COM is the tenth college of osteopathic medicine in the country and the fifth built in the past decade. New schools are planned in New Jersey and New York. The first class appears to be happy with the new facilities and eager to pursue careers in the family medicine area stressed by the school Over lunch in an uptown restaurant five of the students talked about light subjects like how they were only able to get uptown for lunch and serious subjects like their desire to overcome public ignorance about osteopathy While other OU students talked about parties and bars and what they were going to do Friday night, the OU-COM students talked about all-day classes follow- ed by all-night studying and weekends spent with books They will be in the classroom for the first two years of studies and be working in the community for the next two years. Outpatient clinics will be established in several places in southeast Ohio for the students educa- tion and also for medical services to the areas in need. College of Osteopathy 39 Osteopathic continued Bill Wade Plans for the renovation of Grosvenor Hall finally became reality and dormrooms became classrooms. Students check their laboratory notes Dr. Gerald Faverman was named acting dean of OU- COM in September. 1975. Faverman had previously been assistant to the dean at Michigan State Univer- sity ' s College of Osteopathic Medicine (MSU-COM). Other former MSU-COM administrators joining OU- COM were J. Langdon Taylor, who became associate dean of student affairs, and Black. There were 631 applications sent out to prospective members of the first class of OU-COM. Of these 238 were completed and returned and over 100 interviews were scheduled. According to Black, picking the final 24 students was a difficult task. The school hopes to increase enrollment in the com- ing years to 36 and then 48 students per class.

With these words, President Charles Ping opened the first annual convocation of the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine. The commitment is an old one, 1 52 years-old to be precise. In 1 823, when a committee was appointed to examine the possibility of a medical school at OU and a tract of land was set aside for a medical college, the dream began In 1976 the dream came true, and the College of Osteopathic Medicine opened up a new beginning for Ohio University. In order to savor the feelings of pride and ac- complishment, and to honor those who played a part in the birth of the college, a convocation ceremony was held on October 29 in Memorial Auditorium. As the crowd gathered, the OU Symphony Orchestra played the people to their seats with the wild exhilara- tion of a Greek dance. The speakers gripped the sides of the podium, perhaps to reassure themselves that it wasn ' t a dream. Dean Gerald Faverman beamed out upon the crowd of students and well-wishers like a benevolent father before his successful children. And then, one by one. the 24 students of the College of Osteopathic Medicine were introduced. They rose to face the audience with smiles, both humble and proud. Though each an individual, they stood together as a group that must share the honors and the problems of being the charter class of a college Sixteen men and eight women, they are living proof that the dream has finally become a reality. Phillips Medals for outstanding involvement in health care, education and public service were awarded to: Under-secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, Marjorie Lynch; Ohio Senator Harry Meshel; President of the Auxiliary to the Ohio Osteopathic Association, Sandy Neufeld; Governor James A Rhodes; and Speaker of the Ohio House, Vernal G Riffe, Jr. I leave this challenge to the charter class of 1 976. said guest speaker Lynch, in conclusion, do not be a spectator in the game; be a player, so that in the future it may be said that in this Bicentennial year of 1 976, we cared about the quality of life. And so, the first convocation ended, and the 24 young men and women, the charter class of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, went on to live out the dream born so many years ago; to fulfill the old commitment and begin the new beginning of bringing a higher quality of health care to the people of Ohio and of the world Dean Gerald Faverman presents the Phillips Award to Under- secretary of HEW.

April May May By Dean Croushore Jimmy Carter rose from unknown peanut farmer to become President of the United States in one of the most phenomenal elections in American history. Carter became the 39th President by narrowly defeating Gerald Ford by 297-224 electoral college votes. Holding a huge lead in the opinion polls after the Democratic convention, Carter appeared to be invincible. But through a long campaign his support eroded, and he won by a slim margin. Why not the best? asked the born-again Georgian who described himself as a farmer, an engineer, a businessman, a planner, a scientist, a governor and a Christian. Carter ran his campaign asking to be trusted as a Washington outsider, as somebody who would stand up to the special interests. To conser- vatives he was conservative, to liberals he was a liberal. He tried to appeal to just about everyone. In the end, it was a revival of the old Democratic coalition of blue-collar workers, blacks and southerners which elected the new President. The race was decided on the basis of personality and character, as well as the gaffes of both candidates, with issues taking their usual place far in the background. The campaign will always be remembered for Carter ' s ethnic purity statement and his in- terview with Playboy magazine, while Ford will be remembered for his remarks about Eastern Europe. Carter said, Trust me. Ford asked, Do you believe his promises or my performance? Carter began his rise to the top while governor of Georgia. He chose a run-everywhere strategy for the early primaries of 1976, and sur- prised the nation by winning the New Hampshire primary. As the front-runner, Carter was scrutinized carefully. Jerry Brown and Frank Church made last-ditch bids to stop him, but Carter clinched the nomination by winning big in Ohio. With the nomination sewn up, Carter chose Senator Walter Mon- dale of Minnesota, one of the most liberal men in the Congress, as his running mate. Jerry Ford, on the other hand, fac- ed a tough challenge from the far right in the form of Ronald Reagan. In the early primaries it appeared as though Reagan would be beaten easily, but with wins in North Carolina and Texas, put the Califor- nia governor on top. It was a close battle up until the convention, with both candidates carefully wooing the undecided delegates. Ford finally won out on a close first ballot and stuck with Bob Dole, the most con- servative member of the Senate, for a running-mate. After the conventions Carter still led Ford in the polls with a 52%-35% edge. The campaign was hard fought and full of trouble for the Carter team as he began dropping in the polls. The first of the televised debates was held and Ford won, cut- ting Carters lead. Carter also hurt himself with his interview in Playboy magazine. During the second debate Carter ' s luck changed. With Ford ' s statement on Eastern Europe, and Agriculture secretary Earl Butz leaving the ad- ministration, the momentum turned around.

These things allowed Carter to refocus his campaign on the issues of trust, and a government as good as are the American people. Neither the debate between Mon- dale and Dole nor the final Presiden- tial debate did Carter much good. As October drew to a close, the polls showed Carter still losing ground. The election eve polls declared the race too close to call. At last the big day arrived. November 2 brought beautiful weather throughout the nation, and voter turnout was high. As registered Democrats far out-numbered Republicans, things looked good for Craig Holman A student looks over her ballot before enter- ing the voting booth Carter. As expected, Carter swept the South early in the night. Then Penn- sylvania and Texas fell to him. But the West went solidly for Ford. The contests in New York, Illinois, Ohio and Mississippi were uncertain even after midnight. New York narrowly fell to Carter, but Ford picked up Illinois. Finally at 3 a.m., Mississippi put Carter over the top. Ohio was ex- tremely close all night long, and not decided until 9 am, when it, too, went to Carter. Eugene McCarthy, who the OU Post endorsed, garnered less than 1% of the vote.

Perhaps the most decisive ele- ment in the campaign was the black vote. Without the overwhelming sup- port of black voters, Carter would certainly have lost. Among whites, Ford led Carter 51%-48%. But blacks gave Carter 92% of their vote and were instrumental in his wins in Pennsylvania, Mississippi and Ohio. During open registration tor classes, students line up to register to vote.

In his inaugural address, President Carter reaffirmed many of his campaign promises and paid tribute to Gerald Ford, for all he has done to heal our land. Following his brief speech, and after the parade, came the parties, with six inaugural balls being held. While the focus of the electorate ' s attention was on the Presidential sweepstakes, other elections of im- port were taking place. Only 17.5% of the student population bothered to mark ballots for the selection of 29 members to the new student senate. A lack of publicity and contests led to the low voter turnout. The expecta- tion that the new Senate would be just a bunch of jokers and not get anything done seemed to be the prevailing view. In an important area race, Claire Buzz Ball was narrowly reelected to a third term in the Ohio House. Chall enger Jerry Adams, Athens City Councilman, put up a close fight, los- ing by only two percent of the total vote. It ' s back to Washington again for U.S. Congressman Clarence Miller, overwhelmingly reelected to a sixth two-year term. Miller took over two- thirds of the vote to easily defeat Democratic challenger James Plummer. Democrat Howard Metzenbaum ran an aggresive statewide cam- paign to win election to the U.S. Senate, defeating incumbent Robert Taft by three percent of the vote. However, while politics may have been in the center ring in ' 76, there were other occurrences of impor- tance. Earthquakes rocked many parts of the world including China, Italy, Turkey and Guatemala.

Uganda was the site of terrorist activities as Palestinean sym- pathizers held the Israeli passengers of a hijacked Air France jet hostage for three days. Swine flu and the Legionaires dis- ease prompted immediate action, but swine flu shots were later cancelled because of their side- effects. And, in a display of elegance and co-operation, ships from all lands sailed into New York Harbor to help the U.S. celebrate its 200th birthday.

In the end of January, pipes froze and a blizzard hit the east and midwest, a severe energy crisis developed. Among the states hardest hit were New York, as Buf- falo had a record 18 feet of snow, and Ohio, where factories were forc- ed to shut down leaving 1000 ' soutof work. With the Ohio River and parts of the Mississippi frozen, salt and fuel oil were stranded on ice stuck barges. Schools closed and businesses shortened hours. Everyone was asked to co-operate with the crisis by setting their ther- mostats at 65. The problem was there simply wasn ' t enough gas for both industrial and residential customers. In some areas there was even doubt as to whether the gas for households would last the winter. Here in Athens the scene was no different. While most of the dorms and university buildings were coal heated, the townspeople were forced to live with burst water pipes and cold rooms. The stores throughout the city were open for shorter periods of time and the ice never seemed to leave the sidewalks.

Warm days and sunny skies came to Athens, and replaced the dark, dreary wetness that had been prevalent. Taking advantage of the climate change, students dug out frisbees and cutoffs and headed to Stroud ' s Run. The College of Osteopathic Medicine began preliminary opera- tion long before expectations. Bruce Springsteen appeared dur- ing the first week of the quarter. His presence was overwhelmingly welcomed as shown by a rapid sellout of tickets. The last weekend in April brought Mom ' s Weekend. Organized ac- tivities were held throughout the weekend for the moms, but a main attraction was uptown. Mothers flocked to the campus for a taste of wild college night life. Cyn- di Wolfe said, Suddenly, they are dependent on you for a good time — ' mom ' becomes ' friend ' . Wolfe added that uptown was so overcrowded that many daughters simply sat — while mom was on the dance floor. During the same weekend the 6th Annual Miss Bronze Pageant was held. It was sponsored by the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the Black Student Cultural Programming Board. Denise DuMaine, a dance major, was named the new Miss Bronze. Each green held a cookout for its dorm residents. The program featured a band, grilled steaks and watermelon. Sen. Morris Udall visited the OU campus three days before the Ohio primary election. He spoke to a crowd of 800 students at the College Green. Earlier in the year, Udall had sup- ported partially blind basketball player Mike Borden in his effort to remain on the Ohio University basketball team. Udall, handicapped in the same way, had challenged Borden to a game of one-on-one. The game ended in a tie. The 1976 Commencement, which ended the quarter, had special meaning for many men, especially Donnell Happy Haynes, an inmate at the Chil licothe Correctional Institute. Haynes was allowed to attend commencement and received his University Publications Photography associate arts degree. This degree was the first of its kind. Jacqueline Wexler, president of Hunter College in New York City, was the guest speaker at the 222nd Commencement exercises which were held Saturday, June 13th. She told her audience in the Con- vocation Center, If you are to have your freedom protected and I, mine, then we must also be protected from each other. This is the central dilem- ma of my lifetime— to protect in- dependence and achieve a balance of interdependence. Wexler urged the graduating students to respect intellectualism and distinguish it from academic elitism. Degrees were formally awarded to 3,710 students by President Charles J. Ping. During the exercises special awards were also presented to out- standing undergraduate students in each department. Presiding at the commencement was Dr. Charles J. Holzer Jr., chair- man of the Ohio University board of trustees. Compiled by Sue Koch Spring Events 51 WHY. Why? This had to be the most often ask- ed question concerning the sp ring riot. What happened? was heard also. But everyone knew, or thought they knew, what had happened. However, the question, Why, remained unanswered. The Student Senate decided to answer this question. Riot hearings were held the weekend following the riot and a summation report was completed over the summer. The Senate report gave a chronological account of the events and included interviews with police officers, merchants, and students. In the beginning of the report, the authors stated that, The Athens Police Department, under the direc- tion of Chief Ted Jones, incited a crowd of partying students into a rioting mob. Jones made a decision to move the crowd with force before any destruction or antagonizing behavior had begun. The fact that a street was blocked was not enough to force riot tactics on the previous Halloween and cannot be seen as justification for the Saturday night brawl. Thus an answer was provided to the question Why. The reasoning behind that answer came from a logical account of the events of the riot. This account was provided in the Student Senate Riot Report and is as follows: Friday, June 4, a crowd had gathered outside of Swanky ' s bar, filling the sidewalk. Between 1:45 a.m. and 2:45 a.m. on Saturday, an Athens police car followed by an un- marked patrol car pulled in front of the bar. In the car was a prisoner who had just been ap- prehended in the parking lot. 9 Police Chief Ted Jones, who was driving the unmarked car, said in an interview that the man had been inciting the crowd to take over the streets. The left lane of Court Street was clear of students at this time. The cars nudged their way into the crowd where a stu- dent apparently opened the marked patrol car ' s door. He was pursued into the crowd and apprehended by police. Around 100 people watched the arrests and reacted with thrown bottles and obscenities at the departing police cars. Following this incident an arrest was made. The following paragraph elaborates. The arrest, justified or not, sparked the crowd into verbal and physical retaliation with the police. After a few moments, the police began to mingle with the students. The tension decreased and the crowd dis- persed. At 12 a.m. Sunday morning, a crowd of around 300 students filled the sidewalks of the north Court Street bar area. Eight police officers watched the crowd slowly fill the streets. The police, wearing soft hats, mingled freely within the crowd. Tensions seemed low. On North Court Street the crowd had swelled to around 500 by 1:40 a.m. The police formed a line, eight abreast, at State street and began walking through the crowd, nudging people back onto the sidewalk. The crowd responded momen- tarily, but refilled the street as the line passed. Caught in the middle, the police again began smiling and talking with the crowd. Suddenly, the eight police on South Court Street fell into formation and began running north. The crowd responded, falling in step behind the police. At the corner of Court and Washington Streets, the four police lines made a rignt into the police sta- tion, one line cutting through an alley. The time was 2:15 a.m. Postphoto by Dave Griffin Policemen advance past Woolworths as they head toward the College Green area. At 2:35 a.m. Sunday the police formed a line across Court Street at the intersection of Washington. Apparently the students were beginning to challenge the squad line. Arriving on the scene, Jones ordered the men to advance in an effort to disperse the students. The police line moved slowly. Jones described it as a normal half-step advance. The charg- ing students stopped. Then the policemen began firing knee-knockers. The first round threw the crowd into panic. Some witnesses believed the shots were from guns and fell to the ground. The majority of the crowd ran onto the College Green. They immediately began throwing bricks and bottles at the police who had advanced into a squad line stretching between the College Book Store and Cornwell Jewelers. Four officers station- ed themselves in front of Logan ' s book store. At 2:45 a.m. 150 people emptied out behind the police 52 Spring Riot lines from the Athena Theater ' s midnight movie showing. The police became occupied with reclaiming the streets and entering second story, side- streets apartments. The double duties of the College Green siege and the reclearing of the streets and apartments allowed the violent College Green exchanges to continue for awhile. At 3:25 a.m. Sunday mor- ning, the police rushed the College Green. The students fled across the green, the ma- jority heading for Jefferson Hill. Five police held the hill as others continued clearing the streets. About 100 people had gathered at the bottom of Jefferson Hill. Jones reported eight canisters of tear gas were used on the crowd. The crowd began leaving around 4:30 a.m. By dawn they had all returned home. By 9:00 a.m. Sunday an over- time city crew had cleaned up the layers of broken glass and bricks from Court Street. The Athens merchants reported ap- proximately $5,000 worth of broken, damaged or stolen material. Seventeen students were treated and released from O ' Bleness Hospital, none arrested. One policeman was injured with a gash in his leg. Twenty students had been arrested. The above was taken from the Student Senate Riot Report. The only changes made were for clarity. The student senate riot report answered many of the issues in question. But it offered no plan for avoiding riots in the future. In response to community con- cern about student disturbances, President Charles Ping and Athens Mayor Donald Barrett created the Joint University and Community Task Force. The mission of the task force was to focus on two questions: (1) What can be learned from the re- cent disturbances which might help in handling any future problems? (2) What can be done to lessen and, hopefully, eliminate the likelihood of future disturbances? The focus of the task force was primarily the prevention of distur- bances and the creation of an en- vironment in which disturbances do not occur. The task force felt that rehashing the episode or searching for a scape-goat was a futile exer- cise. More importantly, the task force also added answers to the question, Why? Their general observations about the events were: (1) The distur- bances were not politically motivated, (2) The students arrested on Friday and Saturday nights, although having some common characteristics, did not share enough to be truly representative of the total group involved in any given disturbance and (3) There seems to be an awareness of previous spring riots at Ohio University that en- courages continued disturbances, particularly among underclassmen. The task force recommended to both Mayor Barrett and President Ping that the maintenance of a strong posture in refusing, une- quivocally, to tolerate or excuse behavior which threatens the well- being of the University and com- munity was necessary to prevent future disturbances.

Down on the old football field behind Putnam Hall a lit- tle girl sang with a crowd of teddy bears, toy soldiers and baby dolls. Meanwhile, a fierce tornado hit the South Green, leaving a lonely sorority dame from Miami University in its wake Up on the West Green, a buggy- eyed starlet waltzed in front of James Hall with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Visitors to Athens would have thought the school was ready for the white jacket-green wall treatment. But every OU student, from the aspiring intellectual to the peaked pothead, knew it was simply J-Prom time again. For twenty years, campus groups have taken part in the annual outdoor skit competition. Although rules and procedures have changed considerably since the initial J-Prom. enthusiasm remains strong and lugs along with it the chaotic challenge of writing, rehearsing and performing a 1 5-minute theatrical masterpiece. It was not an easy feat. The overall theme of J-Prom ' 76 was This Magic Moment, and to coordinate 50 bumbling feet into a simple two-step or to create some semblance of music from a hoard of flat voices was magic in itself. But the right combination of talent and practice would pay off, with a first-place trophy and a showcase of memories Plans for the two-day spring competition began in winter quarter 1 976 as the J-Prom committee, headed by Pam Rosen, started outlining the general rules and organizing the panel of judges. To insure fairness, only faculty and administration members were allowed on the panel — students were excluded. Two sets of judges were designated, one to preside at each day of skit presentation. The J-Prom Committee approved all costumes, scripts and music. In addition, it maintained continual contact and supervision by assigning two marshals to each group. It was the duty of the marshals to attend their respective unit ' s rehearsals, see to it that the rules were kept, offer advice and, ultimately, to accompany their unit around campus on the performance days.

In J-Prom ' 76. however, a dorm did actively participate. Crook Hall and Beta Theta Pi fraternity pooled their talents to come away sporting a third place. After a month of hectic rehearsals and late night bitch sessions, the groups were ready May 1 3th smoldered sunny and hot. Following a cafeteria dinner of soggy pizza and decarbonated Coke, crowds of students swelled out onto the three greens. They awaited their evening entertainment with mixed emotions. J-Prom has always been a hilarious display of talent to some, a stage for air-heads to others and a complete mystery to most unsuspecting newcomers. Suddenly the wave of casual murmuring was broken by a shrill whistle. Out onto the 40 ' by 60 ' earthern stage clamored the performers armed with painted flats, sound equipment and a last-minute prayer. There was a second whistle and the show began. Each of the six groups involved in J-Prom ' 76 handl- ed the assigned theme in different ways. First place overall went to Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and Lamb- da Chi Alpha fraternity, who also took first in banner, costume and scenery divisions. Their theme was THIS MAGIC MOMENT IN TOYLAND The scene was a toystore at night. Enter a little girl who found a key and proceeded to wind up all the toys. They came alive and staged a song and dance free-for- 56 J-Prom 1976 all. The villainous Jack-in-the-box was befriended by the girl who discovered his evil temperament was mere- ly due to loneliness She took him home and all ended happily. Second place overall was awarded to Alpha Xi Delta sorority and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity The Fiji-Fuzzie production, entitled THIS MAGIC MOMENT IN HOLLYWOOD, centered around a naive little girl who stepped off a bus in Hoolywood eager to find instant stardom. After futile attempts she learned the simple lesson that everyone is a star in his own way. Crook Hall and Beta fraternity took third place overall as well as best choreography with their version of TH E WIZARD OF OU. In the grandiose MGM tradition, a sorority girl from Oxford was swept up by a twister to embark on an unforgettable OU odyssey. Excitement built as she struggled to escape the evil President Ping- Pong and finally stumbled upon the renown Wizard — a drunk janitor in Cutler Hall. Miami is nice. she decided, but there ' s no place like OU I By this time the crowds were watching intently. They began to realize the tremendous amount of work involved in the mini-plays unfurling before them, and strained to detect friends behind the cardboard costumes and pancake make-up. No microphones were allowed, forcing the cast to yell both word and song. Judges and marshals eyed the chalked-off boundaries with half-hooded eyes, waiting for an overzealous cartwheeler to land beyond them. Points were deducted for any of a myriad of possible rule infractions. And after hauling the leaden props in silence from green to green to green, the strain oc- casionally broke through. But the audience waited, and the show went on. In keeping with the aura of a presidential election year, Chi Omega sorority teamed with Delta Tau Delta fraternity to present a political satire. THIS MAGIC MOMENT OF A MIDSUMMER NIGHT ' S DREAM The revised bedtime story featured a young boy who heard presidential debates raging on the radio. Upon falling asleep, his bedroom turned into a similiar mud- slinging arena between a cowboy (Ronald Reagen). a football player (Gerald Ford), a chicken-hawk (George Wallace) and a peanut (Jimmy Carter). The four can- didates argued and quarreled over petty issues — all mouth and no mind. Finally the boy confronted them The Fijis and Fuzzies carry their flats onto the West Green stage They had to remain completely quiet during this time. Ourell Mall behavior and he himself was elected president Nostalgia crept into THIS MAGIC MOMENT: A CLASS REUNION, presented by Phi Mu sorority and Sigma Pi fraternity, who also took second in banner competition. Five years after going through the cap- and-gown routine, OU students held a reunion and pag- ed through a scrapbook of lifelong memories. From the first date to college life to the Uptown Experience to graduation and beyond, the song Those Were the Days rang home loud and clear. Alpha Delta Pi sorority and Phi Kappa Tau fraternity dramatized a battle between Cupid and the Devil in THIS MAGIC MOMENT: OUR FIRST KISS. The two waged a bet as to whether or not a young couple would start smooching. Cupid shot the girl with his bewitching arrow, and at a subsequent picnic the moment of truth arrived. In the fury of dancing flowers, devils and hearts, Cupid won his bet J-Prom ' 76 was a prime example of a classic OU. tradition that has not lost its immediate appeal to the students The weather was great, the greens were packed and the audience responded warmly And. as darkness came, audience and actor alike went his way to hit the books or to hit the bars On Friday night awards were given out to the tunes of the Wiley Post Band.

Communication Week- Striving To Understand. Pat Carbine, editor of Ms. Magazine was a Communication Week speaker. The eighth annual Communication Week sponsored by the College of Communication was not only a time of learning, but a time of involve- ment. The week began Saturday with the open houses in each of the four Communication schools. At the journalism school excite- ment ran high as the new Video Display Terminal (VDT) system was officially opened. The first day concerned the fields of radio and television. That night the radio-tv Banquet was held and Lee Rich, producer of The Waltons and Helter Skelter was the guest speaker. Rich discussed violence on television. Violence for the sake of violence alone is not right for TV, he said. The hearing and speech sciences were the topic of the second day. The school held a mini-seminar which was led by four professors from the School of Hearing and Speech Sciences. Professor Christopher, who was one of the seminar leaders, also presented a discussion that con- cerned the School of Journalism. Leon Bibb, a newscaster for WCHM-TV, gave advice on breaking into the newscasting, writing field. Just to get the experience to use on your resume is the important thing, he said. 58 Communication Week Later in the day a panel discussion was held on the Magazine World To- day. It featured Patricia Carbine, editor of Ms. Magazine; George Tice, the president of Geyer-McAllister Publications and Stan Modic, editor of Industry Week. Stressed in the discussion was the difference between specialized and consumer magazines. At the banquet held that evening, numerous awards were presented for outstanding work in the jour- nalism field. Car Van Anda awards were presented to Abe Rosenthal, managing editor of the New York Times and Carbine. Rosenthal was also the guest speaker for the even- ing. The last two days dealt with employment opportunities, the idea of creativity and modernization in communications. Inco presented a reader ' s theater presentation of Voices in Ragtime, a blending of a novel by Ducterow, Ragtime, and Hari Crane ' s poem The Bruise. That evening the banquet was held and Dr. Bower Alz of Kent State was honored with the Elizabeth Andersch Award for outstanding contributions to speech education. The week was officially ended with Daniel Schorr ' s appearance at Memorial Auditorium on Friday night. He may have been on the top twenty list of White House enemies but he was not an enemy when he visited Ohio University as the final Communication Week speaker. After an overwhelming response from the audience, Schorr chucked his prepared speech in favor of some personal, impromptu obser- vations. It ' s a tremendous feeling to think that in these personal appearances the audiences understand what I ' m talking about and that I ' ve personally helped to turn something around, said Schorr. Many of Schorr ' s comments in- volved his suspension from CBS. The suspension was due to the pen- ding results of a Congressional in- vestigation into the leak of a secret house committee report. The report, known as the Pike Papers, was eventually published in The Village Voice. Schorr was ac- quitted for his part in the incident. Came the question, what do I do? I ' ve got it— I can ' t bury it— I can ' t go to Carl Albert and say, ' Here ' s one you forget, said Schorr, defending his actions. Bill Wade Schorr speaks to the audience at Memorial auditorium during Communication Week. In his speech, Schorr said there is great danger in allowing the abuses of government agencies to go un- reported or unregulated. Schorr had many ac- complishments to his credit. Relentless in his Watergate coverage, Schorr received an Emmy Award in 1973 for The Watergate Affair. a two-part series presented on CBS. Compiled by Sue Koch and Adrienne Worthy.

Communication Week 59 Rugby MAC Title Tops Spring Season The 1976 spring sports season was a mixture of triumph and defeat highlighted by the Rugby team ' s vic- tory in the MAC. The Bobcat rugby team captured the MAC title by defeating Northern Illinois in an overtime thriller. Gani Ponnampalam scored the winning goal in the championship which capped off the season for the team. They lost their opening game to Kent State, but the loss didn ' t stop their momentum as they went on to beat 10 teams in a row. A combination of injuries and in- experience plagued the 1976 baseball team, but the Bobcats did post a 11-7 MAC record and earned the league ' s runner-up spot. In overall play they sported a 25- 20 mark winning ten of their last 13 games. Throughout the season the powerful offensive punch was led by all-MAC senior Bob Brenly and juniors Les Ream and Emil Drzayich. Pro prospect Brenly scarred the Ohio record books and was later signed by the San Francisco Giants. There ' s no question that our young pitching staff hurt us last year, admitted coach Jerry France, but that staff learned a lot; and this has to be the definite strength for us this year. Impressive pitchers last season included Mitch Wright, who ac- cumulated a perfect 6-0 record; Dave Farina, who posted a 4-1 mark and Larry Nicholson who established a 2.75 earned run average. Chuck Vinoverski also proved to be effec- tive winning six of his eight decisions. The 1976 OU women ' s Softball team kept alive its winning tradition. The 11-2 fast pitch record was the best in the Women ' s Intercollegiate Athletic Association and the Inter- collegiate Athletic Association, and the Bobcats finished second at Ohio State ' s Invitational tournament. Seniors Sherry Kline, Debby West, Peg Amos and Kathy Blakcford end- ed their college careers with the an- nual defeat of Big Ten giant Ohio State. Top pitcher Vala Crabtree carried an 8-2 mark. In slow pitch games Ohio was led defensively by freshman hurler Mary Ann Kline who chalked up five vic- tories and was undefeated. A good percentage of the slugging came from freshman Lisa Jennings and sophomore Candy Conrad. With senior Jill Semon the only one who returned from the 1975 squad, the women ' s tennis team was young and inexperienced. Peggy Pruitt ' s players scored victories over Marietta and Central State posting a 2-9 record. Catherine Browne ' s lacrosse team ended their season with a 5-5-4 mark. The Bobcats highlighted their season with victories over archrivals Ohio State and Bowling Green. Athens Jane Scott led the team with 37 goals and Joanne Bontempo, Phyllis Morgan and Pam Downing were selected to compete in the Midwest Trials. The trio failed to make the Midwest team. The Bobcat golfers tied for fifth in the MAC with Bowling Green. Ohio was led by senior Benny Blake, who finished eighth in the MAC in in- dividuals ' honors. Blake also was named to the all-MAC team for the A body check keeps Bob Gibbs from scoop- ing the ball in a hard fought lacrosse game.

Freshman Randy Densmore achieved Ohio ' s best season average of 75.2, and shot the year ' s lowest score of a 70 for 18 holes. Although Ohio ' s tennis team finished sixth in the MAC Cham- pionships, they were only one point away from capturing third place. The ' 76 ' Cat tennis team was led by senior Steve Elkus and junior Jim Domke, who were also runners up in the league ' s finals. Jim Oppenlander held the squad ' s best singles record of 18-8. Jeff Sherri, Clark Gridley and Steve Navaro also significantly contributed to the team. The track team under second year coach Larry Clinton finished sixth in the MAC, improving two notches from the previous year. Juniors Mike Mimms and Bruce Greene provided the lightening for the Ohio trackmen throughout the season. Mimms established a new MAC record in the triple jump while Greene went to the Olympic trials.

The piercing whistle of the sleek silver train cut through the crisp autumn air and fathers hoisted kids onto their shoulders to view the arrival of the newest of Amtrack ' s Amfleet into old station number six. As cameras clicked and excitement mounted, railroad and political dignitaries stepped from the train which was officially welcomed to Athens by Mayor Donald Barrett I think we ' re getting back to what may be termed a new era for Athens, said Barrett For some of the onlookers, however, the train herald- ed the return of what once was. and is now again, a most delightful way to travel. With the conductor and engineer of the last passenger train to visit Athens waiting in the engine of the newest passenger train to visit Athens. Harold Graham, an Amtrack official, presented a framed photograph of his pride and joy to the city and the train was opened to the public Lines formed quickly and the cold was forgotten. Passenger train service, a touch of tradition against the background of a most untraditional train, had returned to Athens. In an effort to interest students in utilizing the service, Amtrack hired a campus representative. Junior government major. Mary Elizabeth Gombach (Bessy), was in charge of taking reservations for Am- track as well as doing promotional work. This includes speaking to Greeks, campus organizations and dorms in an effort to interest students in riding the trains. Gombach says that among the programs offered by Amtrack have been a trip to Cincinatti for the OU-Cinci football game and a ski trip Group rates are also available and a whole train car can be rented. After having taken the train to Chicago and Washington DC Gombach is even more enthusiastic about Amtrack People who ride trains are excited 62 Fall Events about seeing the country by rail and that excitement rubs off There is a party atmosphere Gombach adds that she would like to ride the train from Chicago to Denver because the route is especially catered to students serving only Coors beer on the ride. Another event was a rappelling clinic sponsored by ROTC in which civilian Ohio University students were given the opportunity to learn military rappelling techniques at the Lindley Hall Mini-Park. The all-day clinic included instruction in the basic techniques and actual hands-on experience in descending a wall. Students leapt, bounded or inched their way down from the second story of Lindley encouraged by the cheers and applause from the enthusiastic crowds which jammed the Mini-Park throughout the day. Upon completion of the activity, participants received a free hot dog, a soda pop, and a button saying I DID IT The rappelling clinic attracted well over 200 par- ticipants and literally thousands of observers within its Left: Civilian students repel up Lindley Hall while getting tips from ROTC members Dave Fonda Above: A member of the CEC collects money at the campus gate during the Jail-and-Bail Left: A crowd of students and townspeople gather outside the premier Amtrak car while others board the food ser- vice car for a look inside Craig Holman Fall Events 63 Craig Holman Students wade through the schedule of classes book to find alternate classes on open registration day- Fall Events, cont.

Saturdays adventures after at P 66 Saturday at Peden a- 4 ' ft?- Craig Holman noon eden By Bill Pappalardo Somehow I felt I was above all this. An old man in front of me was giv- ing the guy at the gate a song and dance about losing his validation sticker. After witnessing a long, heated debate between the two in which the former was physically removed, I passed through the gates of Peden Stadium. Over on the gravel, a guy in a fatigue jacket was being entertained by Security. It seems that three bottles of Gobels somehow got lodged down the front of his pants. Well, onward, through the tunnel, past the vendors, the mum sellers and the program people. A coke vendor screaming mix tripped over me, and I made my way toward the bleachers. A large banner with the slogan Muck Fiami tossed in the autumn breeze. I spotted some friends and enemies and slipped down a vacant aisle, where an unfriendly fraternity brother was waiting to greet me. Sorry man, this row ' s saved for the house. He was too big to argue with, so I chose to step over a girl ' s lap to avoid a confrontation. There was the crew, a group con- sisting of various and sundry degenerates that I ' ve met in the Land of Athens. A pony keg of beer was being milked generously. I went through all the usual questions of how and who, but all I got in the form of an answer was a group slur of band. After several drunken interpretations a member of the crew, dressed in a pre- Halloween tigerman costume, pieced together the plan used to sneak the illegal brew into Peden. It was good old Pepper, you know, the guy who plays sax. Well, we dropped off the keg at the band entrance and he disguised the thing with a Hefty garbage bag. Then, he loaded it onto a stretcher as part of someone ' s tuba.

Such decadence. I joined the celebration as the teams headed for their respective locker rooms. After consuming a large quantity of beer, in which many toasts were made to good old Pepper, the music began. A slightly fuzzied ver- sion of the Miami band marched onto the field, led by silvered, baton- twirling majorettes that stepped in a sure Oxford way. Miami played a selection that would have stumped the panel on Name that Tune, and then the O. U. band came out. They strutted like a bunch of limbo dancers, stepped and bounced, hammed it up, and loved every minute of it. Chaos ensued during the performance, with people cheer- ing, spilling and stepping on each others heads, as grown men cavorted every which way. Four or five beers later, I thought I saw a military helicopter fly out of the west. It hovered over the 50 yard line, then delivered four soldiers via rope to the playing field. Further sips of beer didn ' t seem to be a percentage move, but several fans reassured me that the big green bird did run a mis- sion over Peden. Minutes later, an echoing public address announced kickoff time. An intoxicated man with a derogotory T- shirt referring to the Miami team guzzled down the last of a bottle of Mad Dog Plum Supreme. After a hearty belch, he led the charge rais- ing his thumb and moaning in pain. The whole place moaned; O.U. kick- ed off, and the game was underway. The musical matchup resumed during intermission, with the par- tison crowd cheering their limbo dancers and generally insulting the Miami team with obscene chants and suggestive phrases. Miami ' s ma- jorettes made a second curtain call, and the crew greeted them with a resounding chorus of Waltzing Matilda, in between frantic attempts at purging the last remains from the keg. My impressions of the second half still remain a bit of a mystery. There was the usual battle for the spheroid, and all the good things that go along with a competitive football game, but I found myself preoccupied with the tigerman ' s offers of shots from a fresh bottle of Johnnie Walker Red. By the time the final gun sounded and the public address system an- nounced Ohio 28, Miami 14, the tigerman and myself, along with the lot of Miami ' s majorettes, were aboard the big green bird headed somewhere toward Santa Barbara.

Saturday at Peden 69 An almost championship year makes football noticed again By Bill Sweeney For the past few years football has been going unnoticed at this univer- sity. Many of the more student oriented sports such as putting bricks through Logan ' s window and traipsing down Court Street dressed as a box of Corn Flakes on Halloween have taken the spotlight, leaving football to the alumni and the townies. Sure there were people who went to the game every Saturday, but only to see the band and drink large quantities of Mad Dog or Thunder- bird. No one went to seriously watch the game. Those were the Nixon years when going to college meant protesting involvement in Indochina and avoiding the draft. Those years are gone now and the average student is here to get an education. Many of the more conser- vative attitudes now prevail on cam- pus and with them came a greater in- terest in the more traditional ac- tivities. Football became popular once again. As if the team had sensed this feeling from the outset, they put together one of their finest seasons in recent years. They handily won their first four contests and followers sensed that there might be a cham- pionship team in Athens. It had not been since 1968 that the team had experienced such a hot start. Led by running back Arnold Welcher, quarterback Andy Vetter and middle guard Rod Day, the Bob- cats were destroying the opposition and had managed to achieve number one ranking among defenses in the nation. Everything was coming up roses for coach Hess. After they beat Toledo 34-8 the Bobcats travelled to Central Michigan where they hoped to take a commanding lead in the MAC race. Something backfired though and the ' Cats dropped the contest 17-15. Perhaps what was even more dis- couraging was the fact that Ball State, a team that plays only a minimum number of league games, was in a position to win the league ti- tle. They could come in the back door and walk away with everything. The ' Cats could not dwell on it too long because they were to face arch rival Miami. The Redskins were having a pretty dismal season up to that point, spor- ting a record of 0-5. Still Coach Hess was expecting a very tough game from them. The team was sound ex- cept that they did not have anyone who could replace former quarter- back Sherman Smith. There was a tairly large crowd on hand to watch the game and they did not go away disappointed. The Bob- cats again looked impressive as they ran and passed to a 28 to 14 victory. The team looked ready to take on William and Mary the following weekend, Homecoming. Things took a turn for the worse that cold, wet October afternoon when Arnold Welcher injured his ankle and was forced to leave the Craig Molman Above: Joyce Dorsey looks a little worried as she watches the ' Cats.

Prior to the game a tew W M players commented that he was the toughest back they had fac- ed the year before, which was rather impressive considering they went up against Pittsburg ' s Tony Dorsett, a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy. With Welcher lost, the ' Cats spent a long afternoon on the field and lost 20-0. It was the first time since 1965 that the ' Cats had been shutout on their home turf. Still, it was not a league game and the team was in a good position to win the MAC provided Ball State lost within the league. They bowed to Western Michigan the following weekend and what had started as a possible championship year was turning into another mediocre one. There was no ex- planation for the sudden turnabout of the team. Some thought they were just overrated from the start. The Bobcats had three games remaining and if they were to win them they would not only salvage a respectable record but would claim a very good season. Next up on the schedule was a tough Bowling Green team that was on top of the MAC at one time with a 3-0 record before losing to winless Miami. Getting a remarkable defensive performance from sophomore lineman Steve Groves the Bobcats took BG 31-26. This left the ' Cats with an outside chance of taking the title if both Western and Eastern Michigan could defeat Ball State. The Bobcats ' final two opponents were a strong University of Cincin- nati squad and a weak one from Northern Illinois. Ball State ended up taking the crown by winning the final two. After losing to Cincinnati, Ohio came back to finish strong against Northern Illinois. The last game was one of the best for the team because everyone got to play as Ohio romped 63-15. Quarter- back Andy Vetter rushed for four touchdowns and passed for three more, all in the first half. He was Below: Arnold Welcher leads the Ohio attack as he dashes through the line and heads up- field.

Looking back on the season one can admire the team. While they may not have been all they were believed to be after those first four wins, they were still good enough to finish se- cond in the conference. There is also next year to look forward to, but looking back on the season made everyone feel a little better since football has been a un- ifying force on campus and their success helped even more. As President Charles Ping said, The University ' s commitment to ex- cellence in all our endeavors is ex- emplified by the efforts of the in- dividuals and teams who make up the entire athletic program.

When you step onto the field, everyone is one. You know you ' re different; your pride is bolstered, said senior Jim Alex- ander about the band. With the OU Marching 110, such a concerted ef- fort is an unwritten code that adds an incentive. Everyone in the band has this in- dividualized pride. It is something you just know the whole time you are out there. Where does the pride come from? A lot of it from Mr. Soccarelli, a lot from within the band. When I was a freshman I saw the way the seniors acted and handled themselves. I looked up to them. I told myself that I wanted to be like them, Alexander continued. Indicative of the harmony that is evident on the field or stage, is the cooperation behind the scenes where the shows are planned, the movements and choreography designed and the musical pieces selected. The completed production is a result of the combined efforts of the director, graduate assistant, and stu- dent members. Mr. Soccarelli handles the movements, the students work out the dance routines, and the graduate assistant helps with the rehearsals, aside from his many administrative respon- sibilities, and conducts on occasion. The work necessary to be top- notch musicians is not without its rewards and memorable moments. Soccarelli immediately points out: The first away game (at Northwestern), I felt that the band ' s presence there was a plus. I really felt as though we had taken part in the win— not that we had won the game— but had a part in helping to win it. That was the first time I saw the band ' s real strength. The trombone section performs during half- time of the Miami game. 76 Marching 110 the magic into theiir steps The Marching 1 10 has had the op- portunity to play at pro football games too. Soccarelli points out that last year ' s performance at half-time of the Buffalo Bill ' s game before 80,- 200 people was one to be remembered. When we finished the half-time show, I looked around and saw that none of the seats were empty. They were all filled, and all the people were standing, cheering. Incredible chills went down my spine. That was the most appreciative crowd. He cites as his four year high point, the band ' s performance at Carnegie Hall. The OU Marching 110 were the first marching band to ever perform before a Carnegie audience. Before the show we had never been heard of by that audience. They didn ' t know us then, but an hour and a half later they did. They all were standing, the whole audience, screaming attestment. Carnegie? It was out of sight, man! Curiously enough, neither playing at professional football games nor at Carnegie Hall is his most rewarding experience as band director. He feels, The greatest satisfaction is to hear the kids screaming at the end of the half-time shows, saying they lik- ed the show. Significant to the band ' s consis- tent popularity is the philosophy it embodies. Rather than becoming locked in a particular show format, the band maintains a broad base. The willingness to try new things and the courage it takes to be innovative is where a lot of the band ' s strength lies. Soccarelli agrees, We do some pretty freaky far-out things, but that ' s because it is entertainment. Tradi- tion plays a part, but so what? Is it fun? Is it entertaining? Right: A tuba player shifts his horn over his shoulder as a part of a dance step in the Homecoming parade. Below: Drummers stop during the parade to perform in front of the crowd. Harmony, spirit, dedication, fun; all of them illustrate what it is to be a proud member of the Ohio Universi- ty Marching Band. For senior Jim Marching 110 77 Marching 110, cont. Alexander, it has all been worth it: It ' s a strange feeling knowing that it is over. Four years of giving my best. I ' ve done my best — that means a lot. I realize there are things you must leave behind, but I ' ll still always feel I ' m part of the band. A student sells band albums before the Miami game. The Carnegie Hall thing. I ' ll never play in front of those people again. I ' m really going to miss it. Mr. Soc- carelli, all the fellows I ' ve been with for these four years, the people— that ' s why it has been worth it. There is an intense brotherhood that I have learned about and shared in through the band. These friends are good for a lifetime. I ' m sorry to see it go. I just can ' t sa y enough how I really love the band. I really love it. As for his own future, and where Soccarelli would want to go from here: Ohio University is no stepping-stone to the big time. This is the big time. I have under my direction the very finest marching band in the United States. I have no desire to move to the Big Ten. That is not important to me. Professionally, I feel I have arriv- ed. There is no better job out there. The only reason why I should leave is because we have stopped growing. If I have stopped growing and the band has stopped growing, then it is time to go. 78 Marching 110 Lett: Drummers perform during a halftime presentation in the Convocation Center Below: Bob Young puts his hat down before beginning a dance number. 2c I H 4 i ■ pi 4fJ Mr Left: The band practices outside the Convo during a fall afternoon.

Homecoming: a tradition fighting to make a comeback Craig Hoi man 80 Homecoming By Barb Blum Homecoming is an event with a changing definition. In the early 60 ' s it meant tradition, a parade, pep rallies, bonfires, dances and an all-over university spirit that was high. In the late 60s the traditional activities were dropped and the homecoming celebration evolved into a retur- ning of alumni and old friends for a couple of parties and a football game. Today, when asked to define what Homecoming means to them, many students still share the unin- volved attitude. One senior accounting major said, It ' s when I see old buddies — a lot of last year ' s seniors come down. A freshman saw it as. Not much of anything. I was kind of disappointed. No one really gets involved. These attitudes prevailed even after the third year of a revival of the Homecoming parade by Keith Welsh, director of alumni relations. He said he felt it was impor- tant because it provided the returning alumni with an additional activity to attend other than just the football game. Contrary to popular opinion, many students were in the parade and involved in some way with Homecom- ing. The Marching 1 10 and the cheerleaders led off the parade. Many sororities and fraternities entered floats. Sigma Phi Epsilon won the competition with its oversized version of a bobcat. Zeta Tau Alpha and Theta Chi won second place. Lambda Chi Alpha and Chi Omega took third. Delta Tau Delta and Pi Beta Phi, and Phi Mu and Phi Kappa Tau also teamed to enter floats in the parade. There was also a float which featured the black homecoming queen. Sandra Jackson. Numerous alumni activities went on mostly un- noticed by students. An awards banquet honored O.U. graduate Dean W. Jeffers. ' 36, for his involvement in public service. Another banquet was held for the induc- tion of past sports heroes into the Athletic Hall of Fame. Other homecoming activities included a bonfire Fri- day night and a performance by the alumni band during the game ' s halftime. Although turnout at some events were low, there was interest shown in reviving the traditional homecoming celebration. The problem now is involvement, said Welch. The biggest percentage of the parade participants and spec- tators should be the student body. he said. He added that he believes the parade will be totally student- directed next year. Thus it looks as if homecoming may once again be redefined. If more students create floats and take the time to enjoy the celebration, homecoming will come to mean involvement, excitement and a revival of tradition Dave Fonda Above.

The two-day homecoming celebration was pestered with cold weather Friday and with rain Satur- day. While participation in the games and contests was low, the enthusiasm of those who built the booths and set up the affair could not be extinguished. The prize for the best booth went to Wilson Hall and Phi Gamma Delta for their joint effort on the Ping-A- Pumpkin booth. Sending a Kiss-A-Gram was one of the most popular activities. Contestants also could try their skill at putting a golf ball into a hole, betting on a numbers game, helping to smash a car. and tossing a frisbee through a hole or throwing a pie at their favorite chemistry professor. Macrame and other artwork was also for sale. The Jasper Mills band braved the cold on Friday night to perform for a small audience in freezing temperatures. Rain moved the entire show into Baker Center Satur- day night. The Hannie Hooker band brought everyone back to life and turned the event into a concert. People in the crowd enjoyed themselves, as they drank beer, danced and listened to the music. I think the people who were there really enjoyed it Saturday. said Jim Artis of Center Program Board, which sponsored the celebration. There was a good turnout by the organizations which put up booths, but. of course, the very poor weather kept people away. I would definitely say it was disappointing.

By Cyndi Woods Nestled deep within the Appalachian foothills Peach Ridge rises and with five nearby cemeteries creates a pentagram that mysteriously attracts the witches and occult worshippers on Halloween. Not far from Peach Ridge, students do their own kind of worshipping, better known as partying. Perhaps the magical aura conjured up by the witches reaches the students. But whatever the rea- son, students are transformed into an ar- ray of make-believe characters. Streets are converted into meeting grounds where the masqueraders gather for rituals and mischievious pranks. Parading from one party to another for a trick-or-treat, mysterious persons hoax their hosts with their new images. Traditional ghosts, goblins, witches and devils cast their spells on the night, while original figures pop up like a pregnant nun, a bong- ing bobcat, a stained-glass window. Death and someone in their birthday suit. Conversations reflect the unusual event. One fellow dressed as Spiderman said to his companion, a ghost, I had this strange urge to rappel up the front of Swanky ' s. So, I tried it and you know what? I think I did it. With a nonchalant attitude the ghost replied, If you think that ' s something, I vaporized myself and flew down Court Street. I ' m sure glad I collided with that flying beer bottle Because if I wouldn ' t have, I would have been sitting next to Mayor Barrett in the front seat of his car. If your roommate wants to be Jimmy Carter on Halloween in Athens, all he has to do is smile and it will happen. Anything goes on Halloween in Athens and just about everything does.

Craig Holman Halloween 85 Planned block party fails to prevent C ourt Stree t partying By Cyndl Woods Halloween 76 provoked various reactions from the different groups involved. The uptown participants seemed to enjoy it, the policemen were angered by it, Athens Mayor Donald Barrett tolerated it, President Ping said it was unacceptable, and others just hoped the situation would change next year. Festivities for students were planned by the University with suggestions by students, city of- ficials, law enforcers, the faculty and administrators. A block party on E. Union Street, within the confinements from Pilcher House to Hudson Health Center, was scheduled for October 30 from 9 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Due to rain, the event was moved inside Baker Center where music was provided, costumes were judged and refreshments were sold. The inten- tion of the block party was to prevent loitering by students on the streets. As the rain subsided, the block party resulted in the dissatisfaction of city officials and University ad- ministrators as Court Street was used for partying, bottle breaking, mattress burning and other oc- curances for several hours. Several cars attempting to drive through the - crowd were kicked, ridden on and harassed, including President Ping ' s. Arrests were low because Barrett had instructed police officers not to remove disorderly students from Court Street. The police were dis- mayed with Barrett ' s decision v . I ' SAiXzir. h X because they were not allowed to make arrests. Barrett said that by staying out of the disturbances, the city was not a contributor to the ac- tion, in the streets. In a look toward future Halloweens, some students and ad- ministrators hope block parties will be the alternative to the Court Street scene. University Provost Neil Bucklew said to a group of student leaders, Maybe it wasn ' t great this year, but I think it is going to turn around.

A mixture of rookies and vets By Bill Sweeney Soccer Coach Earl Draper was facing a difficult situation during the pre-season weeks of early September. Discontent among many of his expected returnees accounted for a good deal of his worries. He was left to then form a team which consisted of mostly freshmen. Their inexperience showed as did their raw talent which left hope for better things to come. Many of those who did not return said they were disenchanted with the way the second year coach chose to run the team and cited Draper ' s in- experience and naivete as reasons for not returning. The young team did show promise during the season bowing to the always tough Cleveland State team 3-1 in a very close played game that was knotted 1-1 at the half. The score was in no way indicative of the way the ' Cats played since CSU had been scoring at a 5 goal per game clip. Winston Bizel, a sophomore from Toledo, and Tom Murray, a freshman from Atlanta, Ga. showed fine promise as a midfielder. Draper did have a pleasant dilem- ma with regards to his goalkeepers as he had three fine ones in Don Tkacz, Gordon Taylor and Bob Joyce. Both Winston Bizel and Dave Hiteshew, a fullback from New Jersey, were named honorable men- tion to the All-Ohio team.

The cross-country team finished with a 4-2 record in dual meets, defeating Morehead State Universi- ty, Kent State. Marshall and Toledo. It also finished 7th in the MAC. The harriers also competed in the Notre Dame Invitational, the All-Ohio meet and the NCAA District IV cham- pionships. Greg Moran, Ron Murawsky, Ran- dy Foster, Rick Mansfield, and Glen Bartholomew were the top runners for the Bobcats, with Moran and Foster usually leading the team.

Two Ohio Players received all-star recognition for their play during the season. Gani Ponnampalam played in the All Midwest Classic and Dave Lyons was named to the Junior All- Star team. The two also led the Bob- cats in scoring. Fall Men ' s Sports 91 A women ' s swimming team member performs a back dive during the Rio Grande meet. Without funding, winning isn ' t enough By Barb Blum In light of possible athletic scholarships and increased overall funding, the WICA, (Women ' s Inter- college Athletic Association) volleyball, swim and field hockey teams were apparently out to prove that they were worth it. A surprising third-place finish in the state tournament at the Convo topped off a satisfactory season for the volleyball team coached by Nan- cy Schaub. Going into the tourna- ment, the Bobcat spikers were un- seeded. They quickly proved themselves by winning their opening two matches. Then, after a loss to Cleveland State, they came back with a miraculous finish over Bowling Green to send them into the semi- finals for the first time ever. The third-place finish sent Schaub ' s team, headed by co-captains Nancy Thorne and Jan Rowell into the regional competition held in Chicago for the first time in school history. The women ' s swim team started the season off with a dual meet record of 4-2. Lead by captain Linda Hudson in the 200 and 500 meter free-style, all the swimmers turned in respectable times. Coach Peggy Pruitt ' s field hockey team started off the season with five wins in a row highlighted by two matches at Cincinnati. With a record of 6-2, the team went to the state tournament at Ohio Wesleyan. They won their first match against Bowling Green, only to lose the next day to Dennison. Plerlna Morelll The most exciting match came after the tournament when the team met the champs from that tourna- ment, Ohio State. OSU went ahead 1-0 in the beginning, but the Bobcats held them to win 2-1. According to team member Linda Collins, It was definitely our best game. We never looked better. Besides coaching field hockey, Peggy Pruitt is also the co-ordinator of the Women ' s Athletics. In addi- tion, she wrote a proposal that would increase women ' s athletic scholarships in compliance with Title IX or the Education Amendment Act of 1972. That act provides that no one, on the basis of sex, can be denied or discriminated against un- der any education program receiving federal financial aid. As of now at 92 Fall Women ' s Sports Craig Holman O.U. only a few women can only receive special talent awards. Pruitt ' s proposal reportedly suggests a possible 92 scholarships with an approximate $97,000 budget over a two-year period beginning with the coming school year. The proposal is being considered by Provost Neil Bucklew. Pruitt would not speculate on Bucklew ' s decision. The girls on the teams generally feel that scholarships would be an advantage. Denise Izor, a member of both the basketball and volleyball teams, said she doesn ' t believe you should just give athletes money to get them in your school. The scholarship money should be there for people who really need assistance. Sherry Hipsley from the swim Left: Candy Conrad prepares a set-up shot during the Capital game.

Spring registration is held at the convocation center as students spend hours of planning schedules and sitting on the floor waiting. 96 Winter Events Winter quarter, the shortest quarter in terms of weeks, has always seemed the longest in terms of work. Still, things did happen to take students minds off the books and allow a break in steady pace of study, study, study. For students interested in freedom of the press or merely preserving a tradition at Ohio University, there was Save the Post week. Greeks gave their help in soliciting con- tributions for the financially stricken paper. They also co-sponsered the Springtime for Scandal raffle. The prize was a trip to Washington D.C. to visit all the hot spots. There was also a concert and an aluminum can collection to gain money. Students concerned with the plight of Soviet Jews became in- volved in the Rally for Soviet Jewry which took place at the college gate. Many professors and students took part in the march and speeches. Culturally, President Ping held an open house to allow people to view a display of student art and senior dance majors presented the Senior Showcase, an exhibition of their talents. Phil Keaggy was sponsored by various religious groups. The out- standing guitarist presented a ver- sitile show at low prices. Other musical endeavors included the Ohio Showcase Series.

Beginning with Aztec Two-Step in January, the Board ' s only out-of- state entry, the goal of the program was to book a series of concerts with up and coming bands. Patterned somewhat after Monday Night at the Agora in Cleveland, the Showcase used the smaller confines of Baker Center Ballroom, as opposed to the Convo. Utilizing promising area talent, the Showcase presented Law, a group claiming three members from Youngstown, for Siblings Weekend in February. McGuffy Lane of Columbus in early March, and a hello people type group named Molkie Kole in mid-March.

When she and her boyfriend reached the front doors of the Con- vo, a nice bearded gorilla war king out of Kent was there to greet them: Sunshine Security, be cool. Sunshine Security, be cool . . . . Candy ' s escort didn ' t want to be cool, as a matter of fact, he gave me a rather convincing elbow to the ribs instead. When the lad started kicking in several outside windows, I decided it was time to be cool. My friends were probably trampled to death, so I was content to socialize with my two new neighbors. Where are you folks sitting? I asked, with my face pressed against a convenient pillar. Seventh row. Waited nine hours for tickets, he replied, while moving his hands like he was playing a guitar at a rapid pace. The conversation was interrupted by several impatient types, who were convinced that shoving was the best thing to do when everybody is having a good time. It was farewell to Candy and company, and through the turnstile. My friends were waiting at the other end. Unfortunately, the concert was well under way and Derringer had only one song left. I began to wonder why I had paid six bucks to wait in line for three hours, get poked, pushed and shoved, and hear one Derringer song and 45 minutes of Boston.

The ' Cats entered the season hoping to at least win half of their games. Things did not work out as planned, though, and Ohio wound up suffering through a 9 win— 17 loss season. The 1 7 losses was an all-time Ohio basketball high and the 4-12 record the Bobcats had in the Mid- American Conference placed them in the cellar with Eastern Michigan. A couple of upset wins along the way made the season a little easier for the ' Cats and their fans. The season started out promising for the Bobcats. Playing without transfer student Tim Joyce who became a starter when he became eligible in January, the Bobcats jumped off to a 4-1 record. The season opened with a 72-62 win over Pittsburgh in the Convo. Forward Steve Skaggs poured in 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds that game. Skaggs. a sophomore from Flatwoods, Ky. also held Pittsburgh star Larry Harris well below his scoring average. Northwestern evened up the Bob- cat record by edging the ' Cats in the Convo, 73-71. Coach Dale Bandy was disappointed that we didn ' t win. Junior center Ernie Whitus ' s 20 points and sophomore guard Bucky Walden ' s nine assists were wasted. After whipping Marietta in the Convo, 85-72, the Bobcats hit the road for the first time, with Cleveland State becoming the third Bobcat vic- tim. Ohio came from behind to win in overtime, 93-83, and Coach Bandy was pleased. It was a good win because it was our first road game Bucky Walden attempts to snatch the ball from a Ball State opponent during the third quarter. and the team hung in there and fought from behind. Skaggs ' s 23 points and Walden ' s 10 rebounds led the Bobcats to victory. Eastern Michigan visited the Con- vo for the opening MAC game. Ohio had their best offensive show to date, according to Bandy. Eastern fell 91-81. A holiday tournament was next for the Bobcats. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma was the sight of the All College Tournament. The ' Cats dropped games to Oklahoma City and St. Joseph ' s of Pennsylvania by respective scores of 97-73 and 67- 62, but came back to win over Tulane. 93-67. Skaggs was phenomenal that game, scoring 32 points and snaring 12 rebounds. The 32 points was a career high for Flatwoods, as he labeled the game the personal highlight of my season. A Northern Illinois Huskie finds himself trapped by Bucky Walden and a full court press as he attempts an upcourt pass from the top of the key. Basketball 103 ' Cats hurt by midseason 6 game losing streak Sophomore forward Joyce made his debut as a Bobcat against Toledo, but the high school All- Ohioan ' s 19 points could not prevent an 82-66 defeat before 7,432 fans at Toledo ' s new basketball colliseum. Ohio returned home to play Northern Illinois. The ' Cats might have as well had stayed away, as the Huskies embarrassed the Bobcats 81-65 before the largest home crowd of the season to date, 5269. Bandy said, The game was an offensive disaster and our defense broke down in the second half. That pretty well says it all. The record had dropped to 5-5 and 1-2 in the MAC and the worst was yet to come. Host Marshall knocked off the Bobcats 79-71, as they broke a 71-71 deadlock by run- ning off the last eight points of the game. Skaggs ' 20 points and Joyce ' s 11 rebounds were the Bobcat bright spots. The team received a blow after that game when freshman Kim Leonard left the team for personal reasons. The highly touted guard, who was averaging 13.6 points per game, despite shooting only .385 from the field, returned to his home in Toledo and never donned an Ohio uniform again. At Kent State the Bobcats per- formed admirably under the con- ditions, but were again stung by defeat, 77-74. Skaggs had 27 and Walden 15 to lead Ohio. The Bobcats came home to play Ball State. The team was tight ac- cording to Bandy and they lost the game, 66-63. It was a tension filled game, only to fall short and hand Ball State their first win ever over Ohio. An emotional Bandy said after the game it was a big disappointment. The ' Cats took a five-game losing streak with them to Oxford to play arch-rival Miami, one of the leaders of the MAC. Joyce scored 23 points and the Bobcats hustled all the way, but came home an 84-78 loser. With a 5-9 record overall and a 1-5 record in the MAC, the Bobcats and their six-game losing streak awaited the invasion of first-place Western Michigan. A sparce crowd of 2013 faithfuls proved to be not only faithful but noisy as they took the advise of an editorial in ' The Post ' calling for increased support of the team, with a little help from the band, hooted and hollered the ' Cats on to an 80-74 up- set win. Walden was the star of the show, as the native of Bridgeport, Conn, threw in 25 points, most of them on twisting drives to the basket. The Bobcats next four games were all decided by one point and, as the season dictated, three of them were losses. Ohio lost their second frustrating game of the year to Ball State, the Cats bowing to the host Cardinals 65-64. Whitus had 16 points and 11 rebounds, but it was not enough. Coach Dale Bandy draws a diagram as he dis- cusses strategy during a time out of the Pittsburgh game. The ' Cats won their first road MAC game of the year when they beat Bowling Green 69-68 in overtime. Walden sunk the winning free throw in overtime after Joyce kept Ohio in the game with 25 points. The Bob- cats won without center Whitus who Steve Skaggs dribbles past an opponent dur- ing the last quarter of the Western Michigan game in order to hold onto the lead. 104 Basketball was out with an injury. It was the se- cond win in three games for Ohio and both games were won with a starter out with an injury. Skaggs had missed the Western Michigan game because of a slightly sprained ankle. After being edged out at Loyola of Chicago 74-73, the Bobcats returned to the Convo to meet Toledo in what was probably the most exciting game of the year as Ohio was knock- ed off in double overtime 75-74. The Bobcats were down most of the game, fought back but could make only one of two free throws with three seconds to go. The Bobcats lost at Northern Illinois 77-70 despite Skagg ' s 28 points. A talented group of Virginia Tech basketball players came to the Convo next, but the ' Cats shocked the NIT. bound Gobblers 82-77. Ohio used balanced scoring to win, but it was the play of 5-10 junior guard Bobbly Leon that sparked the upset. He constantly harassed Virginia Tech ball-handlers and found time to drop in 10 points. Leon continued his fine play in the Bobcats 81-80 win over Kent State in the Convo. Scoring 11 points and Freshman Kim Leonard shoots during the game against Marietta College. Basketball 105 handing out nine assists he com- bined with Joyce, who scored 23, to lead Ohio to victory. The Bobcats then stood at 9-13 and there was still some hope for a respectable season. Miami visited Athens next while the Redskins were fighting for the ti- tle. A rowdy record Convo crowd of 7,338 came out to root on Ohio but there was not much to root for as Miami humiliated the Bobcats 83-62. Western and Eastern Michigan in- flicted defeats on Ohio in the state up North. The loss to Eastern was es- pecially painful for the ' Cats as it dropped them into the position of possibly winding up tied for last with them. Only 1938 fans came out to see Central Michigan win the NCAA berth with a hard-fought 76-64 win over the battling Bobcats. It was a disappointing end to a disappointing season for Ohio. Steve Skaggs was the leading scorer for the Bobcats as he averaged 19.3 points per game. Skaggs also lead the team in field goal percentage, shooting just under .480 from the field. He lead in rebounds also. Tim Joyce averaged 18.1 points per game. He was also second in rebounding. Bucky Walden scored 13.5 points per game and played solid all- around basketball. Bobby Leon lead the team in assists and shot an in- credible .909 percentage from the free throw line. Ernie Whitus hit for 10.3 points per game and rejected many opposing shots during the season. Kim Leonard scored 13.6 points per game before his depar- ture.

Cap- tain and sole senior Cliff Sawyer scored 3.8 points per game. Mike Borden, a sophomore center saw considerable action. Injuries hurt the Bobcats over the course of the season. I can ' t remember a season with so many in- juries, Coach Bandy said. Bobby Leon was the only Bobcat who played in every game. Ernie Whitus was hit hardest by the injury bug as he missed six games and played hurt much of the time. The absence of a dominating big man was the downfall of the ' Cats in many of their games. They were out- rebounded by an average of five rebounds per game and were often hurt in the scoring column by the op- posing big men. Coach Dale Bandy watches the game intently during the Miami contest. According to Bandy, the team morale was great throughout the try- ing season. Their spirit and attitude have kept the season from being a disaster. Bandy cited Sawyer as be- ing the best captain we ' ve had here in a long time. Despite all the praises and ac- colades; despite all the wait ' till next year ' s when the Bobcats return all their starters, the season was disap- pointing. Leading scorer Steve Skaggs probably summed it up best when asked to give the highlights and lowlights of the season, The whole season was a ' lowlight, he said Bill Littlefield (left) and Mike Borden grab for the rebound during the Pittsburgh game. Basketball 107 Grapplers lose MAG crown after 7 championships By Barb Blum and Pam Saunders Some things in Athens will never change. Beer will sell well, as will bagels. O.U. will have enrollment and tuition problems. The weather is predictable, too, described in one word — rain. In sports, the students can never be sure how the football or basket- ball teams will do. Only one team is dependable. The Bobcat wrestling team always captures the Mid- American Conference (MAC) title. Or do they? Somewhat in the fashion of baseball ' s Yankee dynasty, the wrestling team was building a grapplers dynasty winning seven consecutive MAC championships since 1970 under coach Harry Houska. But they fell short this year, having to hand over the crown. What caused this change in status? Senior Tim Casey explains it in one word, Injuries . . . that ' s the whole story. Injuries plagued the team all through the season, including a dis- located elbow to 150-pound con- tender Andy Jackson, and a broken foot to Mike Harris (177). They still compiled a 6-1 MAC record losing only to Kent State, the eventual champs. Going into the tournament, Houska still felt assured his boys would win the title. The final blow came during the championships, when second- seeded heavyweight, Jerry Fultz, dis- located his shoulder in the semi- finals. From that point on, the wrestlers knew that injuries had gotten the best of them. They finish- ed third behind Kent State and Northern Illinois. The MAC ' S were not a total loss. Both Andy Daniels (118) and Dave Hopkins (126) won. The captain, senior Hopkins, after trying for three years to capture an MAC title, finally obtained his goal with a superb showing of O.U. wrestling techni- ques. He had the most pins in the tournament with two. Ohio ' s 118-pounder, junior Daniels, repeated his showing of last year by regaining his title. Daniels shared the most valuable wrestler of the tournament award with Mark Tif- fany of Illinois. The wins of both Hopkins and Daniels and the second place finish of Marc Buchanan in the finals gave those three a chance at the NCAA tournament in Norman, Okla. Houska wouldn ' t admit disap- pointment on his team ' s loss in the MAC. I ' m looking toward the Nationals. We have to see how we do there. As for hopes of regaining the crown next year, Houska seems con- fident. We have a strong nucleus — we just have a few holes to fill in certain weight classes.

This year six trackmen had the chance to bring victory back to Athens. At the lllinios Classic in early March the relay team of James Jeffers, Bruce Greene, Greg Fuqua and Jessie Young qualified for the NCAA finals to be held in Detroit. Their time tied the world record mark of the Washington D.C. Striders. Greene also qualified for the finals individually in the hurdles as did Alfred Ogunfeyimi in the long jump. Greene has won three con- secutive MAC titles. Coach Larry Clinton praised the Coach Larry Clinton times runners during a late winter track practice.

The hockey team also had a good year despite the fact that they ended up 8-13. Freshman Rob McNeal lead in scoring with 41 points and John Enmark lead the goals with 21 goals scored. The players attributed the upswing of the program to new coach Doug Ross, a former Olym- pian. Publicity chairman Mike Martaus said, The whole hockey program is going to build on his shoulders— it ' s on the upswing. Since the team was a young one Martaus looked for a bright future, especially with Ross as coach, he added. The volleyball team, coached this year by player-president, Bob Huber, had many close games in- cluding one with MAC champs, Miami. They also split a match with Volleyball team members get out the game balls before a match. 110 Winter Sports top contender Toledo. Their record, with a tri-meet and tournament remaining, was 7-6. Among the top players, said Huber, were Bob Grace, Joel Ghitman, and John Thorndike. Huber cited the transition between defenseand offense in our serving as the spikers biggest problem and added that a lot of the good first year players would be returning next year. As volleyball was minimally sup- ported by the university, the team counted on sponsors such as Jax Distributing and projects like beer night at the hockey games for funding and things such as new un- iforms. Coach Huber called it a good year and said, I was happy I had the chance to do this with these guys. I was really proud of them, they gave their all. 9w Senior Brian Hegge heads down the ice as he prepares to pass the puck. Winter Sports 111 Swimmers send two to NCAA meet Despite a lack of depth and having the lowest budget in the MAC, the OU swimming team finished fourth in the MAC and placed two swimmers in the NCAA meet at Cleveland State. David Ray qualified for the meet and set MAC and school records in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle. Ross Bandy qualified with another OU and MAC record breaking per- formance in the 200 yard butterfly. Though the team had only a 4-7 record, coach Fletcher Gilders said that it might have been better if three meets had not been snowed out. The ten-member team didn ' t have the depth of many of their other op- ponents. Outstanding performers included diver Brian Wetheridge. the 400 freestyle relay team (Ray Shirtz, Bill Herringer, Jack Pavelle and Ray) and the 400 medley relay team (Duane Lyles, Pavelle, Ray and Ban- dy.) Both relay teams set OU records. Gilders said he hopes for a better recruiting season next year. The Ohio University women ' s basketball team finished the season with an 8-6 record. The team ' s wins came over Toledo, Cleveland State, Akron, Ashland, Cedarville, Kent State, Wittenberg, and Wright State. Ohio combined experience with youth while compiling their winning record. Seniors Mary Ann Stocker and Nancy Thorne led the team in scoring. Sophomore Lisa Jennings and freshmen Diana Biber and Linda Van Reeth also played well. A hurdler practices during a warm spell in winter quarter. Coach Nancy Schaub was pleased with the team ' s play. We were only 2-10 last year. This year we had some new faces and were quite successful. I feel we are definitely going to get better. There were some games we should have won that we lost, but every coach feels the same way. The swimming team finished with a 5-4 record in dual meets and finished eighth in the state tourna- ment. The team was led by swimmers Terry Lane, Linda Hudson and Irene Volodevich and divers Susie Mahoney and Susie Miller. Coach Brigid DeVries praised her team ' s performances. We had a small team. Inspite of that, we work- ed well together. We didn ' t have one real star as everybody helped. I ex- pect improvement next year. The women ' s track team began practice during the winter.

By Deborah Elgar Stand up and cheer, give a cheer for old Ohio . . . and that ' s what they did. Through victory and defeat, smiles and tears, warm and chilling weather, the cheerleading squad faithfully cheered the Bobcats on. Led by senior co-captains Karen Baumholtz and LaDawn Brown, they spent a great deal of their time decorating locker rooms and promoting spirit for the football, basketball, and wrestling teams to show the guys they cared. They ' re really a close group and they really do work hard, as I found out this year, said first-year adviser Jan Mathias. The women, including junior Joyce Dorsey and sophomores Nan- cy Johnson, Patti Willis, Michelle Jamenit, Joyce Wickline, and Sherre Isaac, began practice two weeks before classes started fall quarter and practiced 10 hours a day, three days a week. Throughout the school year they continued to practice two nights a week for two hours. Financially, this year the squad raised $200 to buy new basketball uniforms through a cheerleading clinic they held in September for area high schools. The athletic department also granted them a travel expense. Tryouts for cheerleading were held in the spring. The candidates, who had to have at least 45 credit hours, had one week of practice in which they were taught routines and cheers by the previous year ' s cheerleaders. A woman who had served on the squad for two years did not have to try out her senior year. Then they made up their own routine and were rated on a 1-to-4 scale by 10 judges, representing a variety of people, in- cluding football and basketball players, a band member, a faculty member, and a townsperson. 114 Cheerleaders Craig Holman LaDawn Brown leads a chant during the third quarter of the Miami game.

Most fans talk like coaches in order to sound genuine and sincere: sport jargon in- volves practice, the first rule is to refer to any player, friend or foe, as baby, or boy, or when upset, bum. The man having a lot to do with the use of these phrases is the referee, otherwise known by most fans as the stinkin ' ref. The referee is the heavy in the sports soap opera and the confrontation between ref and fan is the classic showdown: The fans try to mimic the referee, and in- fluence his calls by deciding things for him. In turn the ref almost always returns the favor by offering up pseudo officiating tantrums, and by holding lengthy discussions at the scorers table. Regardless the out- come is always the same and the stinkin red has the last say although not always the last word. Dave Fonda 116 Fans OHIO UNIVERSITY March 14, 1977 ASSOCIATION DRAWER 669 ATHENS.

The geography department said we had a record -31 below this morning, he said and with that snapped the object from his face and tossed it to the floor. Athens, along with the rest of the midwest and northeast became a subzero city in the month of January. The snow and cold temperatures were more awesome than the great Thanksgiv- ing blizzard of ' 74. Most of the roads and sidewalks became part of a treacherous pro- duction known as The Athens Ice Follies, 1977. To further compli- cate matters, the Ohio River froze for the first time in 50 years, causing the delivery of salt and fuel supplies to be delayed. Numerous power and natural gas shortages also plagued the area. Driving conditions punished the Athens motorist; traction was so bad on Jeff Hill that a speed of 70 m.p.h. was required in order to make it to the top of the hill. Several entrepreneurs made the best of the situation; an ad in The Post just about captured the January spirit, Pipes Frozen! ! Hot Showers and Baths for sale. Price Negotiable. Call 592-5141.

With the mythical bar-hopping question resolved by my friend, there comes to mind several activities that comprise Athens playtime Sports in Athens provide a good outlet, a student can take in a thriller at Peden or Trautwein, and in the winter months the zany antics in- side the Convo are unequaled. Intramurals are available for those who seek the thrill of victory while sustaining the agony of pulled muscles. Perhaps a rousing game of foosball or pinball can serve to vent those primal desires and frustrations If you ' re not interested in competition, have no fear; the most ordinary experiences can be turned into great ways to spend your spare time.

Members of the lunatic fringe aren ' t discriminated against when it comes to play-time. Looking for parking space in town while under the influence of alcohol is a great way to spend an evening.

By Sue Koch University regulations state that any student with less than 90 credit hours must live in a dorm. Simply because of the force involved, many of the 7000 residents despise the life that dorms provide. Why am I forced to live in a place that is too public? complained one Freshman resident from the West Green. There is absolutely no privacy around here. The lack of privacy appears to be the biggest complaint of dorm residents. The community restrooms, study lounges and TV lounges are often intimidating to per- sons used to private facilities. However, many residents, Freshmen in particular, do ap- preciate dorm life. An East Green resident remarked about the Freshman Residential Program, The program is such a help to me. I felt so lost my first few days. Then I noticed that there were guidance sessions and dorm get togethers. It ' s been a good way to meet people. Each green has a reputation of some sort. The West Green is more commonly known as the ' jock green ' because it provides easy access to the athletic facilities. It is also known as the main living area for Freshmen. The East Green, although it does house Freshmen, is known more for its beautiful surroundings and upper-class dorms. Most East residents are contented with where they live. Their only complaint is the long hike up Jeff Hill whenever they go somewhere. Module living on New South is easily the favorite area for dorm residents. Although many complain about the long distance from dorms to classes and town, the advantages are often praised. It ' s such a great place to live, Kurt Needles of Weld House said. You ' re living with 12 people — all of who usually become very close to you. We have our own TV, a game Dorms versus outside housing 124 Housing room and study room. I have privacy when I want it and companionship when I need it. But what happens when the years of dorm life are over? What is there for the student after he is entitled to move out of the dorm? Many students find an early es- cape from the dorms by pledging into Greek life. When a student has pledged into a sorority or fraternity, he is then able to move out of the dorm at the end of his Freshman year. An RA from Bryan Hall and a member of a sorority said, Everyone tends to classify sororities as being cliquish and expensive. Ac- tually it ' s not that way at all. The ex- pense is about the same, depending on which house you join. And I ' ve found that sorority life offers more opportunities of all kinds than dorm life ever did. The biggest housing attraction for those completing their 90-hour limit are apartments. Lakeview, Carriage Hill, the College Inn and uptown Students look over the meat selection in Nelson Commons cafeteria Student housing in a South Court Street apartment is better than many others. apartments all offer furnished and unfurnished apartments with various plans on utility payments and oc- cupancy fillings. Lakeview has been criticized as being similar to a dorm. The com- plex is often referred to as being run- down and deteriorating. It ' s all in how you handle it. Ken Papsy stated. If you ' re willing to put in some time and a little money, Lakeview becomes an excellent place to live. One Carriage Hill resident claims that he lives in the finest apartment complex available to students. I pay the same amount of money most people do for homes — whether it ' s a dorm, a house or an apartment. Yet, I have the advantage of really feeling at home. College Inn has the advantage of variety of housing options and many extras including a cafeteria, a swim- ming pool and a candy shop — snack bar. Roughly, a quarter ' s cost of living for room and board in any form of housing is $600.

Dorm Problems By Sue Koch On October 20th, approx- imately sixty students found themselves dining on the floor of Old Nelson cafeteria. While this was a unique inci- dent, many students were out- raged at the situation. Student Erica Sosnowsky angrily pointed out that many diners loitered at the table long after they finished their meals. James Korner, head of the din- ing room, acknowledged the problem, but added Whenever the weather is bad, the students come to eat early and stay a long time. According to Korner, the students who sat on the floor would have had seats if tables and chairs had been returned to the cafeteria from a meeting room in New Nelson. But he added, If it happens again, there ' s not much we can do. Still containing the original plumbing from thirty-nine years ago, Bryan Hall has become famed for its unpredictable showers. Residents first became aware of the problem upon moving in in September. The rapid temperature changes from hot to cold and the low water pressure were not only inconvenient, but also health and safety hazards. The gripes increased this year to the point where they could no longer be ignored. Fifty-five dorm residents sub- mitted written complaints. A petition was presented to a group of administrative per- sonnel. After an investigation by the Physical Plant in October, over $600 worth of water temperature regulation equip- ment was installed during Christmas break.

Rudy said that the residence life staff is constantly evaluating the needs of freshmen, trying to deter- mine the best way to alleviate academic, social and adjustment problems. He added that freshmen often undergo an identity crisis. Who am I? What am I doing here? Rudy said that the Residence Life staff is trained and ready to help. We have the best staff to student ratio in the state of Ohio. The Residence Life Program is constantly expanding and changing to meet the needs of the students. During fall quarter alone, it ran over Joel Rudy, director of residence life, relaxes in his office. Bruce Davis 150 different presentations in residence halls. These covered such diverse topics as financial aid, writing resumes, black awareness, sexuality and astrology. Rudy said his staff analyzes the grades of each residence hall. Awards are presented each quarter to the male and female dorms, both freshman and upperclass, which have the best overall grade point average. The Residence Life staff contacts all dormitory students who are on probation and attempts to help by arranging tutoring or counseling. However, Rudy added that it is up to the student to recognize the problem. It ' s a joint responsibility. While students often complain about dormitory rules and regulations, Rudy cited the liberal aspects of the program. For in- stance, freshmen dorms all have visitation limitations fall quarter. However, during winter quarter, these dorms can vote for 24-hour visitation on weekends, and spring quarter they can vote for permanent 24-hour visitation. Rudy said that the residence life staff attempts to help students alleviate frustrations and problems before they result in warnings and referrals. He noted that the incidence of drug abuse has dropped significant- ly in the dorms. Rudy added that the image of the RA as a cop has diminished. They are now seen as people who are helping to create a fuller environment through counsel- ing and guidance. Rudy stressed that the Residence Life Program is designed to help the students, but that they must avail themselves of the service. He said, I think that freshmen are becoming more aware of how the program car help them. But we still have a lone way to go. l lil iiuii Resident Assistant Rick Allen talks with a James Hall resident while on staff duty. % X Lett: Freshman Chris Mclntyre studies in the Boyd Hall library.

An Athenian Greek, in fact. Contrary to all-too-popular belief, I do not wear a laurel wreath or run marathons wielding a blazing torch . . . To most outsiders, the O.U. Greek system is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. (My apologies to Mr. Churchill.) Greeks have been accused of chronic par- tying and chronic studying; they have been labeled frothy airheads and dry intellectuals; they have been looked up to in admiration and look- ed down upon with indignation. But nonetheless, they maintain. The Greeks became hard-core salesman this year. Fraternities led by Interfraternity Council (IFC), and sororities led by Panhellenic pooled their energies to a much greater degree than in previous years. Joint meetings of the two groups each month discussed mutual problems and organized joint events such as Panhel Previews and Greek Week. With the Greek-monopolized era of the ' 50s kaput for good, peo- ple began to put aside house rivalries to work as a single unit. Panhel revamped the formal rush set-up and scheduled it for the week before classes began in September. It was a decided risk, but worked. Fall rush netted 115 new pledges — a 70 per cent increase over last year. A simple Panhel pledging ceremony in Galbreath Chapel subsequently united all the new girls under one Greek system, before they pledged their loyalty to a particular house. First a Greek, then a Fuzzie or a Chi-0 or a Beta or a Delt. Greeks did get their feet in the un- iversity ' s parenthetical door, however. The new residence life director, Joel Rudy, is a Phi Kappa Tau grad from Bethany College. Peter Carpenter, the new assistant Cra g Hoiman director for legal affairs, is a Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE). Dave Culbert- son, a Beta, was elected senior class president. And three more Greeks were added to the Student Senate: Cyndi Forsha, Alpha Delta Pi, Out- side Housing Commission, and Tim Smith, Delta Tau Delta, Student Ac- tivities Commission, of which Jim Mikkila, also a Delt, was chosen chairman. Fall quarter 76 was housewar- ming season for two fraternities. The Sigma Nu ' s moved from the old fraternity row on North Congress to the corner of Mulberry and South Court Streets, and the SAE ' s ended their period of homelessness when they took over the former Kappa Delta house on South College Street. Having an official roof over their heads — and being close to the cam- pus mainstream — helped both houses to rush with greater success. 132 Greek Life .BTAEZH0I KAMNZ0nPSTT$XffiABrAEZH9I KA MNZ 0nP2TT$X+fi labels behind Greeks from several houses gather (or a vic- tory celebration after the Miami game.

The Greek calendar of events proved that more went on in Athens than happy hours and snowball fights. On Dad ' s Weekend the Greeks had teas among themselves, many with open bar and an occasional golden Sinatra recording thrown in between Boston and Leo Sayers.

The slightly sagging, bleary-eyed dancers went on, undaunted. The music ended Sunday after- noon and the winners were an- nounced. Phi Tau Rob Smith and Phi Mu Lori Fende took first place, Chuck Kassler and Elaine Laux came in second, and Beta Rick Sabol and Fuzzie Karen Light grabb- ed third.

He feels the international dorm is an educational experience where each person has something to offer. He added that the inter- national situation offers a wider horizon of understanding. Felleke believes there is much we can do to eliminate stereotypes and prejudices but that the initiative must come from the student. Everyone must make an effort. This is part of growth and a sign of maturity. International Week, held during February, was one program by which international students attempted to bridge the gap. Their goal was to share our cultures and traditions through the creative means we enjoy preparing. The Week ' s theme was Inter- national Unity. Felleke commented that unity is actually the theme of everything we ' ve done so far. Each step we make we become nearer to it. Unity is what we are working for, added Ay Ling Khoe, an RA from Indonesia. 136 International Student Activities Postphoto by Dave GnHin Students look around at the International Bazaar held in Baker Center Ballroom during International Week. mm ac h Athens The highlight of International Week was the opening ceremonies where John Ford, adviser to the secretary general of the Organiza- tion of American States spoke to the audience.

Throughout the week, folk dancing groups danced for those at the bazaar. Activities included a cooking demonstration, a Latin-American dinner dance and fiesta, An Evening of Arabic Hospitality, a Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration and an international film festival. Films from 24 foreign countries were presented. The week ' s activities were only a part of the international students ' ef- forts to teach Americans about their cultures. Both foreign and American students have direct involvement by living in Shively. Rhoe became an RA because, I was interested in getting involved with people and knowing people from all over the world. I understand the problems of foreigners here and want to help. Brent Routman, an American stu- dent, chose to be an RA in Shively after a year as a freshman RA because, I was interested in being in a dorm where people were in- terested in academics and in a more mature, coed environment. Routman finds the international students respectful, polite and tolerant people and added that the dorm is a pleasant, interesting, diversified environment. He said he ' s had no problems he didn ' t have in an American dorm. Sixty per cent of the residents are Postphoto by Dave Griffin Students watch a Turkish folk dance being performed during International Week. foreign students and 40 per cent are American. The dorm has a two to one ratio of men to women. English is the common bond, according to Routman and Rhoe. Special dorm programming in- cludes international dinners, cultural film showings, parties, tournaments, discussion groups and coffee hours. Residents often invite professors to the programs. Basically we do what other dorms do, said Routman. We try not to program just for international students. He and Felleke stressed the importance of American students getting involved. Felleke described some of the in- ternational students ' problems as a whole series of things such as 138 International Student Activities Two international students practice hitting a soccer ball on the grassy area in front of New South Green.

No planned orientation is done in the dorm but Rhoe commented, Those living in the dorm have the same problems and can help each other. Everyone is very sym- pathetic. Students also get help from others from their country living here. International Student Activities 139 Organizations, activities key to Black awareness By Phyllis Smith As each group of students around campus had their own organizations, functions and groups, the black student popula- tion was no exception. In past years black students struggled to gain power, to govern themselves and plan the functions that would interest them. This year they were quite active. The Black Student Union, with Black Students Cultural Program- ing Board (BSCPB) sponsored many activities for blacks throughout the year. One of the biggest activities they took on was a trip to Washington D.C. and Howard University where black students represented Ohio University. The black students also had their own newspaper. Afro- American Affairs covered everything from National News to campus dances to poetry and music. Black students had academic clubs such as the Black Student Communications Caucus, an organization designed to help black communication majors stay abreast of all the new trends in the communication fields. Lindley Hall served as the Black student center. An afternoon in Lindley could be spent playing cards or ping-pong, shooting pool or watching TV with friends. Lindley was also the site of many dances, shows and art exhibits. The Black Pre-Law Club was designed to help those blacks in- terested in the profession of law. Black Forum Theater (BFT) was a group of black students in- terested in acting, dancing and singing. BFT performed at many talent shows and programs show- ing their talent in skits, short dramatic sagas, dances and songs.

Each spring break the choir took a tour. The approximate sixty voices, fill the air with the bountiful and joyous sound of Black Aware- ness cont. gospel music. Other black organizations were the black Greeks. There were four black fraternities which consisted of Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Phi Psi and Phi Beta Sigma; three black sororities, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kap- pa Alpha, and Zeta Phi Beta and three little sister chapters, Angel Phi Angel, Kappa Kittens, and Sigma Sweethearts. At the end of winter quarter, these groups came together to celebrate Black Awareness Week. This included the presentation of a Street Corner Bazaar at Shively Hall, a gospel workshop sponsored by the Gospel Voices of Faith. A career week program dealt with information in job seeking for black students and a black arts symposium. There were also faculty lec- tures as well as Feeling Good, a presentation by BSCPB.

Retitled Intramural and Club Sports Program, it had 32 sports and 80 activities comprising in- tramurals and 22 club sports. According to Director Dick Woolison, student interest in the in- tramural program was on the rise. Student participation was up 25 per cent from last year. In the last seven years, we have increased our activities and that may have something to do with it, said Woolison. The program divided into four leagues, the Independent League; the Dorm League; the Fraternity added program League; and the Sorority League. Each league was divided into two levels, A and AA. Players who lettered in that sport in high school had to play in AA. All others had to participate in A. That way we have the more ad- vanced players in one league and the others playing on a different level, explained Woolison. It keeps the competition on a fairer level. Woolison, who has been in- tramural director since 1969, said some participants try to cheat and added, Sometimes we catch a few, but we leave it up to the teams to protest. Those who do cheat are in a small percentage. Woolison said most of the par- ticipants joined for fun.

We have to sus- pend those who really get out of line, but those are in the minority, he stated. Champions were decided by playoffs. The top two teams in each league qualified for the playoffs. The winner in each league advanced to the all-campus tournament in which the campus champion was decided. Woolison and his staff had the ex- tra responsibility in 76-77 of helping direct the Club Sports Program. We provided administrative offices and oversaw schedules. It was difficult to do all this and we have been very busy, he said. Of the 22 club sports, four com- peted against other schools. They were hockey, rugby, lacrosse and volleyball. Hockey formerly was a varsity sport but had to be dropped because of finances. Hockey was very expensive, Woolison admitted, •ice time, equipment and travel arrangements all add up. All club sports were open to anyone and Woolison objected to this. I don ' t think it was fair for an OU student to have to sit on the bench while an outsider played, he claimed. I ' d like to get that changed. The main difference between in- tramural and club sports was clubs got a chance to practice together us- ing gym, field, or ice time. In- tramurals were organized by Woolison and his staff while club sports were organized by students.

Just that little touch of greenery can liven up and brighten a place and give it the feeling of home. Many treat their plants as pets to be cared for, loved and talked to; for others they are merely ornaments that help to cure cinder block blahs.

UC: Not just for the undecided By Steve Herrick The University College consists of specialized two-year programs as well as a program for those who have yet to decide upon their major. The college now consists of 1500-2000 students. The two-year programs are in such fields as technology, real estate and nursing. Students in these fields are majors in that program, said University College Dean Don Flourney. Some get only an associate degree and others go on to receive a baccalaureate degree. These programs are conducted at the branch campuses of OU as well as the main campus. Other fields of study include Criminal Justice. Applied Science and Business, and an Army ROTC program. Undecided freshmen are also placed in the University College. They take general courses which help them decide their major. Many of them remain in the college for two to three years. We like most students to pick a major by the end of their freshman year, said Dean Flourney. Those who wait, we call in and discuss what they are interested in. Three years ago a change in the college caused enrollment to drop. Previously all freshmen were enroll- ed in University College, explained Flourney. Now only those who are undecided were enrolled here. All others enter directly into other colleges. The University College also serves as an advising service. Students ' abilities are assessed and counselors make a judgment on which curriculum will best suit them. 154 University College Left: Part time University College adviser talks with freshman Debbie Pork about her spring quarter schedule Below: A student questions a staff member about getting a late change order.

The college is also responsible for planning and conduction of the summer pre-college program. This orientation for freshmen and transfer students serves to help them adjust to college life and OU, plan their schedules and academic curriculum, and assess any problems or superior abilities of the students.

Craig Holman College carries out liberal arts tradition By Cyndi Woods The liberal arts education so greatly valued by the ancient Greeks serves as the backbone of today ' s higher education. That tradition has been carried on to the College of Arts and Science. William Jones, assistant dean of the college, said, It exists as the main component of the University. Not just this University, but any. All universities are essen- tially arts and sciences because that is what higher education is mostly about. The College of Arts and Sciences, under the acting Dean Jim Bruning, houses 18 departments which can be divided into the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.

The Forensic Chemistry program displays the state of dynamic ten- sion that Jones termed as natural for the College of Arts and Sciences. One change that Jones labeled as a kind of way of life materialized this school year as a program con- sisting of a major in the College of Business Administration. The program was adopted after an infor- mal survey showed that businesses employ College of Arts and Sciences graduates for business administra- tion positions. By offering a business minor, students will enter the business world with not only a strong liberal arts base but also a knowledge of business. The Department of Social Work, fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, combined the study of social welfare programs and policy with the development of skill in the practice of social work. Social work students concentrated on the problems of rural com- munities and the special problems of Appalachia. Students enrolled in the college of Arts and Sciences program rate it as instructive and good. Peter Brow- ning, a junior majoring in philosophy, said that the College of Arts and Sciences provides students with adequate advising which is an essential part of planning a college 158 College of Arts and Sciences A student takes notes during his Calculus 163A class in Morton Hall. career. Jones said that many students believe the requirements are too dif- ficult for majors in the College of Arts and Sciences. Browning countered. If you want a well-rounded background for a liberal arts educa- tion, you should have some structure and guidelines to work from, if not you should go into general studies.

College of Arts and Sciences 159 New dean, programs mark changes for College of Business students Harry Crewson draws a supply and demand graph fpr his Economics 101 class. By Kathy Kuhler Many changes marked the year in the College of Business Administra- tion. Dean Gerald Silver, from New England, is one. His image of this area is a positive one as is his view of the college. The enrollment is up for the College this year showing an in- creased concern in career oriented education among students. A new program being planned this year to start next year is an MBA for executives. The Master of Business Administration will be offered at the Lancaster Campus. The college is also planning, hopefully for the Spring quarter, to have a board of Visitors. The Board would have 30 persons in business meet with the faculty and students semi-annually. Its purpose would in- clude enhancing the educational benefits offered by the college, counselling, and help in career placement. Also being planned for the end of Winter quarter is a newsletter for the public, businesses, and prospective students. Its purpose will be to promote the college, and let the public know what is happening in the college. Greg Smith The college is presently develop- ing minors in business so that ma- jors in non-business can use their electives to get a background in ac- counting, management or marketing. Students in the Business College are getting some practical-outside textbook experience in marketing.

College of Business 161 The largest and best of its kind in the nation - Dean Wilhelm By John McMillan The College of Communication, which begins its tenth year in May, is described by Dean John Wilhelm as one of the largest and best known of its kind in the country. Ap- proximately 1,800 undergraduates and 200 graduate students comprise the record high enrollment this year, maintaining a continuing trend of steady increasing enrollment. The Schools of Hearing and Speech Sciences, Interpersonal Communication, Radio-Television and Journalism all strive to prepare students for professional careers in their respective fields. Together, the schools offer programs leading to any of three undergraduate degrees, four master ' s degrees, and three doctoral degrees. During the 1976-77 academic year, each school within the College laid claim to major accomplishments displaying their professional abilities. The School of Hearing and Speech Sciences instituted a new two-year master ' s program which enables students to pursue a professional license. The School of Interpersonal Com- munication produced a national champion forensic team for the third straight year. Television studios in the School of Radio-TV added color operations to their format, expanding their capabilities even further. And, in keeping with the times, the School of Journalism installed an all- electronic graphics lab in Lasher Hall, complete with modern video display terminals (VDT ' s), thereby Linda Cooper (left) and Yvonne Rhodes look over material for a radio broadcast in one of the control booths in the R-TV building. 162 College of Communication Dean Wilhelm reads over one of the many papers that daily cross his desk. bringing students in touch with the latest in electronic equipment. The Society of Professional Jour- nalists (SDX), the journalist ' s honorary society, regularly spon- sored guest speakers from all areas of journalism. In addition, the College itself sponsored its annual Communication Week. The College began a new course dealing with Visual Com- munication. Associate Professor of Journalism Charles Scott taught the course, which consisted of three quarter-long segments. According to Wilhelm, the course was a success and will be repeated. Student organizations thrived within the College. In addition to SDX, other groups such as the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), the Advertising Club, Women in Communications Inc., Black Student Communication Caucus and Forensics, catered to the needs and goals of students in communication-related areas. This is a career-oriented, professional college, said Dean Wilhelm. It combines the practical with the scholarly, academic world. It is a thriving, growing college, turning out graduates who are highly accepted on the outside world. Students in an Inco 101 class listen to a class member give a presentation.

By John McMillan When the staff of WOUB. Ohio University ' s student- operated radio station, decided to change the format of its AM daytime programming, they were merely responding to the needs of their listeners. Being a publicly-funded station our primary obliga- tion is to the public, ' ' said WOUB Director of Promotion and Community Relations Jean E. Mezza. As a result, the station replaced its successful pop music and news format with all-news and information format The switch prompted a strike by many WOUB per- sonnel Now, however, with a new format and new Program Director, things seem to be ' running smoothly. The AM station runs approximately 40 hours of progressive music each week, and the 37 ! 2 hours of news and information service programming. Mezza was equally optimistic about the success of WOUB Television Stations 20 and 44 Although taxes aren ' t enough anymore to support the station entirely. WOUB-TV found financial support with its audience During a pledge week in December, over $6,000 in gifts was collected The sta- tion plans another such pledge week in March, and will hope to raise their total to $1 5,000 Mezza placed emphasis on the opportunities available to students at WOUB, both in radio and televi- sion Students work in every phase of production. WOUB-Radio operates at 1340 on the AM band, and 91 3 FM 166 WOUB and ACRN Durell Hsll Lionel Pace, a WOUB-TV technician, works at the station with the Telecine system for slide and movie projection. With its admission into the Standard Rate and Data Service ' s Small Market Radio Guide this year. OU ' s only totally student-staffed radio station asserted itself among the ranks of the best in the country The All- Campus Radio Network (ACRN) is only the fifth collegiate station ever to be admitted to the guide, which services only those stations that meet its high ad- mission standards. ACRN is a non-profit, 24-hour-a-day progressive rock station, which broadcasts live on the AM band, as well as stereo cable-FM The station is entirely funded by commercial ad sales, bringing in more than $1 2,000 per year in revenue It receives no other subsidy. Students do all the work at ACRN, from selling air time to being disc-jockeys. ACRN ' s format is different from that of any other Athens station It bills itself as a creative rock station, offering a blend of the best in recent hard and soft rock album cuts, blues, fo lk, country and jazz-rock . In an attempt to diversify itself, ACRN has aired special programs of pure jazz and classical music From time to time, programming has even featured comedy and interview-talk shows, either syndicated or staff-written ACRN-FM operates on cable-FM 99 3 throughout Athens for its subscribers in outside housing ACRN also provides music and information service to all OU dining halls, which supply its sponsors with thousands of listeners every day According to a pool of OU students conducted by ACRN last year, 69% of those who responded preferred progressive rock and jazz music Moreover, 52% said that they don ' t go to bed until 1 am or later Yet ACRN is the only progressive. 24-hour-a-day radio station in Athens The station sees itself as fulfilling a need, said stu- dent James Siefert, station general manager As far as competitors go.

Heading for Number 1 again By John Mlcklos The defending national champion forensics team made a strong bid to retain its title in 1976-77. Under the experienced guidance of Dr. Ted Foster, the youth-dominated team performed creditably in the 38 tour- naments which it entered. The forensics team is composed of two separate but related squads, debate and individual events. There are about 20 debaters and 40 in- dividual events people, but the squads often overlap. The points ac- cumulated by both count toward the cumulative team total. Foster, an associate professor of interpersonal communication, said that this year ' s debate team was even stronger than last year ' s, and that the individual events squad was also strong. He added that late tour- naments could decide the national championship. I think we will at least equal last year ' s point total, he said, but he noted that perennial 168 Forensics powerhouse, Southern California, was making a strong bid for the title. Foster attributed OU ' s strength to the quality of the student body and the dedication of team members. He said, We have an ideal educational situation here. We have volunteers who are really interested. He added that receiving expert criticism and participating in tournaments aided students in perfecting their presen- tations. This years team was rich with talented freshmen. Foster explained that while the program does not ac- tively recruit people, it does sponsor summer workshops and high school tournaments. The reputation of the program brings in top-notch prospects. However, Foster said, We look at a person ' s academic major, and we only try to get students who really belong at OU. Although the overall team was very young, there were several out- standing seniors, including Chip Letzgus, John Reynolds, Karen Eaton and Sue Prokop. Letzgus did so well in so many events in a Parkersburg tournament that if he had been entered as a team, he would have placed third in overall points. Over the years, funding has been a problem for the forensics team. Foster said, It ' s a continuous problem, but one which we are mak- ing progress in solving. He added that the program has been very successful in obtaining donor fun- ding. In the war of words, OU ' s forensics team always seems to have the final say. This year, it further asserted its status as one of the premier programs in the country.

College of Education redesigns curriculum 170 College of Education By Kathy Kuhler The largest project in the college of Education was the Teacher Education Redesign project. The State Department of Education in Ohio developed and made law several new requirements for preparing teachers by 1980. O.U. as well as all schools in the state had been working on this for two years, and have another three years to be in full compliance with the new stan- dards. The program organized facul- ty, administration and others to redesign programs. The college itself is working on planning strategies, and is develop- ing a model to use in all areas of the college, so that in the future when the different areas discuss plans for the future they will be using the same model for evaluation and the same procedures. In addition to these, the school had $1.5 million in funded projects. One of them was the Teacher Core Project. Its purpose was to prepare at the masters degree level, a program in area of reading. It will help a school system to upgrade its reading instruction. The program in- cludes six courses taken over a two year period. The largest funded project was the Center for Human Development. It included people from areas of special education, psychology, social work, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and hearing therapy, language development, and parent and family counselling. The center through its personal advocacy program gave students practical ex- perience in evaluation, description, and services for the handicapped. The College had several branches including Curriculum and Instruction for elementary, secondary and special education, Home Economics, Physical Education and Nursing. It also offers masters and PhD degrees in several areas. The college had 2,000 un- dergraduate students on the Athens campus. An additional 600 were enrolled in other colleges while stu- dent teaching. C J Hampton Karen Kronner shows a proposed recreation site layout in Recreation Administration class.

Hard work pays off in jobs fen Engineering end Tech students By Leesa Lafferre y° ur diploma. Joyce Harrold, a sop By Leesa Lafferre Different people have different opinions of the College of Engineer- ing and Technology. Some like it and think highly of it, while others believe it needs improvements. However, nearly all agree it is pretty easy to get a job in engineering after you get your diploma. Dave Campbell, a senior majoring in industrial technology, was enthusiastic about the college. He said it was one of the best, but, he a lso said it was harder for industrial technology majors to get jobs than for those in the other branches of the college. Joyce Harrold, a sophomore in civil engineering, said she thought the college as a whole was pretty good, but that the competition was quite stiff. She said she felt she ' ll probably get a job easily once she graduates because the companies will need to fill their quota of women. According to her, the professors for 172 College of Engineering and Industrial Technology the most part are good, but they make it rough on the students so they can weed out the less capable ones. John Parrish is a freshman major- ing in chemical engineering. He said he though the college was pretty good, but that they should drop ET 100 because it was so disorganized. Another senior, Robert Johnson, from the electrical engineering field, said he felt that the school had high academic standards, and that most students would have a job six months before they graduated. Questioned about the competition and the weeding-out process of the profs he said, either you make it or you don ' t. The College of Engineering had an enrollment of 778 students in six degree-granting programs including chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, industry and systems, and industrial technology. The two non-degree- granting programs were engineering graphics and aviation. However, an associate degree in aviation could be obtained from the University College. The college also had many busy professors. Professor Wai-Kai Chen worked on a project called Design of Electrical Filters. He received an 18 month grant from the National Science Foundation for $18,000. He is working to improve the quality of filters used in TV sets, radios, telephones, etc. Below: Richard Mayer, dean of the college, not only heads a busy student body but also a busy staff.

Fine Arts College expands despite budget cuts By Sue Koch The onslaught of budget cutbacks that plagued many colleges within the University did not pose too great a problem for the College of Fine Arts, said Dean Henry Lin. In the past few years we have been slowly phasing out the architecture aspect of the college, Lin said. Although we received the same amount of cutbacks as the other colleges, we were fortunate in that ours was largely absorbed by the final phasing out of the program this year. Thus, rather than limiting fine arts programs, changes were made to broaden the scope of many departments. The biggest change occurred in the art and photography departments. In the past freshmen were required to take beginning courses in these fields before taking a studio course. This year, however, they were allowed to enroll in studio courses without any prerequisites. One photography major spoke in agreement with the change: I don ' t feel stifled — I was able to jump right into what I wanted rather than star- ting over with the basics that I already knew. The School of Theater also began curriculum changes that will be effected in the future. The major change will be the availability of a three-year graduate program in theater and dramatics. As the School of Dance was the only school in the college to receive a slight financial increase, the dan- cing facilities were improved by moving the studio to Putnam Gym from above Walgreen ' s. Also, more dance classes were offered for non- majors to meet the current demand. If it ' s possible, we will increase and enlarge this program further, Lin said. Lin feels that the music school is moving steadily toward becoming a professional program. The facilities are better than those of the past, as students can now receive individual, professional training. In a year or two enrollment is expected to be limited in order to remain selective, he said. 174 College of Fine Arts Bill Wade Cheryl Wallace practices her dance for the senior dance concert.

The film department, although primarily an undergraduate program, also expanded, making undergraduate courses on film open to everyone. Also, a master ' s degree in film making was offered.

Yet, Lin pointed out, the program was a very important Dave Fonda The jazz band practices in preparation tor their January performance. part of the college.

The Graduate Director Series presented seven plays. All phases of production were developed by the students. Turning out directors who could handle real theatrical production problems was the goal of the Series. Yes, the play had begun. The theatrical aspects of the play, like dressing the stage in full view of the audience and using a ladder to represent a tree, were made obvious to jog the imagination of the viewer. If you paint the picture for them it distracts from the picture they would paint in their im- agination, director Julie Berg explained. The Fantastiks had been running off-Broadway for over fifteen years. An irresistable story complete with romance, laughter, slapstick and tenderness, it was a musical A performer is silhouetted against the ghetto backdrop in The Me Nobody Knows. parody about love. It evoked not only laughter and smiles, but tears. It also presented an idea, a reflection that probed one ' s inner thoughts.

Imagination was a prerequisite the audience of Macbett had to employ in order to appreciate the play, lonesco, took Shakespear ' s Macbeth, and wrote a parody best described as absurdity in action. Every once in a while, just when things started to settle down, something absolutely ridiculous happened. lonesco wrote the parody as a lesson in mankind ' s reaction to rulers, war and ultimately power.. Power corrupts the in- dividual, thus society becomes a single corrupt entity. The ob- jective of the play was the ab- surdity of the world we live in.

Black peo- ple caught on the outside looking in, trapped by the society of today with not much chance of escape, was presented in the song Black that cried out for black pride. These ideas touched one when illustrated by the children of the ghetto. The realistic set of the tenement slums employed stage height and space cluttered only with trash, cockroaches and emptiness. The remaining four plays offered Ohio University students Hot L ; !« .. ' - : v-J Posing as a private nurse Cheryl Kempe con- templates murder in the production of Loot. Baltimore, A Moon tor the Misbegotten, The Empire Builders, and the musical parody Dames at Sea. The Ohio University Major series also produced two plays. The first production of the season was Loot, a comedy by Joe Orton, directed by Dennis Dalen. A world on nonsensical madness was created when two robbers stashed their loot in an occupied casket and displaced the corpse, who turned out to be the mother of one of the robbers. The parody attacked social in- stitutions, the church, law enforce- ment and death, and resulted in, at minimum, a good laugh.

Douglas Baker and Paul McCready played Gaylord Ravenal, the male lead. Lee Ann Hutchinson and Mindy Lee took the female lead of Magnolia Hawks.

Theater 179 By Judy Goldman The School of Dance displayed their talents in three major produc- tions and a variety of smaller perfor- mances. Two of the dance recitals were performed by seniors and the third involved the dance faculty. Despite problems plaguing the senior dance recitals such as bad weather forcing the postponement of the January concert and a lack of adequate seating, the performances sparkled and delighted. Each dance was choreographed by the student and was considered successful when the intent of the dancer was recalled by the audience. Costumes, movement, color and grace, added to the enrichment of the dance. Even a slight hand movement became im- portant and could be filled with energy to transmit to the observer. Another facet of the school includ- ed a group called The Movement. These students visited high schools performing improvisations and dance compositions. Workshops at the school gave dance students the opportunity of performing in public and receiving constructive criticism. Guests were also invited to perform at the school such as The Phyllis Lamhut Dance Company. Talent in exhibition Cita Strauss performs during the senior dance concert in January. 180 Dance and Music Productions The School of Music presented a complete realm of musical offerings ranging from a Percussion Ensem- ble to American Folk Operas; in- cluding performances by the Ohio University Symphony Orchestra, members of the faculty and student ensemble groups presented as a part of the music scholarship series. The Ohio University Singers, con- ducted by Ira Zook and accom- panied by the orchestra contributed to the holiday season by performing beautiful renditions of Christmas songs. Although none of the pieces were sung in English, one could sense the deep resonant tone qualities that stirred the emotions. Songs such as Magnificat, Facit potentiam, Gloria, O Magnum Mysterium and Motets for the Season of Christmas enriched the concert. Another program was Carmina Burana utilizing the combined talents of the OU Symphony, OU Chorus and the Children ' s choir.

No one knew exactly what the professional amateur would be talking about— it could be anything from baseball to tightrope walking. Nothing would have been surprising for Plimpton had tried his luck at any number of occupations in pursuit of his true occupation, participatory journalism, in which he actually takes part in the events he ' ll be writing about. One time he played with the Boston Celtics so that he could write about pro basketball. Another time he played with the Detroit Lions as their last string quarterback. He ' s fought light heavyweight champion of the world, Archie Moore. He said the most terrifying experience he ' s had was when he played with the New York Philharmonic. He was playing the bells at London, Ontario, and he played them wrong. The conductor was so mad he told him that he couldn ' t play with the orchestra anymore. Plimpton has also tried ac- ting. He made a movie with John Wayne. He had only one complaint: Wayne always call- ed him Plimpleton. He ' s also tried working as a circus flyer, as a camer ama n for Playboy centerfold, as a stand-up comedian at Caesar ' s Palace, and he ' s tried to set off the world ' s largest firework. He said his next assignment is to play with the Boston Bruins as their goalie. He plans to paint an enormous blue eye on his mask. Halberstam By Cyndi Woods To the degree that we (the press) set the menus, we have become much more powerful. We, to a very large degree, define the issues that television amplifies, said David Halberstam, author of The Best and The Brightest. He maintained that the press had gained a new and awesome power that would continue to grow with increased technology. Halberstam, a political reporter for over a decade, pointed out that in the ' 40 ' s and ' 50 ' s a political apparatus in- fluenced the outcome of the elections, but that that changed Sponsored by Kennedy Lecture Series. George Plimpton speaks in Memorial Auditorium. with the first presidential debates in 1960. Now, said Halberstam, whole campaigns are being built around the media. Halberstam said the defining of political issues did not rest with the Congress and the President, but rather with the President and the press. He added that the political campaigns had become mere role playing. He said they had a show business quality and that they were conceived and in- itiated for their media value. 186 Lectures lecture season By John McMillan In a lecture sponsored by the Society of Professional Jour- nalists (SDX), Elmer Lower, corporate vice-president of ABC, focused on the then ap- proaching presidential elec- tions and stressed that he was strong for the debates with all their faults. Lower explained the process by which networks and wire services collected and reported election news to the public. He discussed the National News Election Service (NES), of which he was co-founder, and said it was one of the main sources for election informa- tion. Lower said the NES was supported by the three main networks and two major wire services. Lower Maxa By Susan Holub I do not think of myself as the man who uncovered the Wayne Hays scandal, an- nounced the young man. Whether he was or not, Rudy Maxa, a reporter for the Washington Post, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for his part in revealing the Hays scandal. Maxa, a graduate of OU and a former editor of The Post, spoke at the invitation of the Society of Professional Jour- nalists to a group of interested students and professors con- cerning the Liz Ray-Wayne Hays case. Implying that he was at OU only because Liz Ray wasn ' t able to come today, the young, blond Maxa kept his audience chuckling as he interspersed jokes throughout his dialogue. He seemed at ease with the crowd. Because after all, he was not only returning to his alma mater, he was returning as a success. But Maxa did not play up his role in the demise of Wayne Hays. It just happened, he said. I wasn ' t out there trying to get Wayne Hays. He gives much of the credit to his partner Marion Clark, who first met Liz Ray and who joined Maxa in uncovering the story. He related the story of the first meeting with Ray, her fears that Hays would have her killed, the stake-out of Ray ' s apart- ment, the tapped phone con- versations and anecdotes about following Hays and Ray, such as He is the slowest driver in the world! At first it sounded like a case of a woman scorned, he said. As for his future, Maxa said he didn ' t have many big plans, but was working on several books. He did not seem content to rest on his laurels, and in fact, the informal, casually- dressed young man seemed to have been affected very little by it all. Steele When OU graduate James Steele returned to Athens representing the Young Workers Liberation League and spoke about Independent Politics in the Bicentennial Year, he drew only about 100 of the curious and dis- enchanted. Nevertheless, Steele said he felt a change was in the works. There ' s signs of a new ideological breakthrough. The blue collar workers are willing to carefully listen to the Com- James Steele discusses Communism in the Morton math building. munist party. They ' re looking for an alternative, said Steele, the party ' s national chairper- son. He said that alternative was his party ' s platform which call- ed for free health care, the elimination of unemployment and the end of racism. Although Steele said the Communist party ' s Presidential ticket of Gus Hall and Jarvis Tyner most closely matched his preferences, he admitted that none of his party ' s candidates would be elected. He claimed that the purpose of his visit lay elsewhere and said, We ' re just trying to get the message out and raise consciousness. Lectures 187 College offers academic option By Susan Wolbert The Honor ' s Tutorial College at Ohio University offers a unique opportunity for gifted or academically talented students to pursue advanced studies in a varie- ty of fields. It provides a chance for those students to work on a one-to-one basis with instructors and in small groups with others interested in the course of study Among the programs offered are botany, chemical engineering, chemistry, economics. English, govern- ment, history, mathematics, mechanical engineering, modern languages, philosophy, physics, psychology, and social work. There are also departmental honors programs which allow students to major in one course of study and have a field of concentration in another. Admissions standards are high for the college. The average SAT score is approximately 1,330. For departmental honors the student must be recommend- ed by a professor and then go through a screening process The program is the only one of its kind in the country. It is set up as a three-year system with departmental honors taking up only two years. The honors college is open to incoming freshmen mainly and departmental honors are available to sophomores and juniors Dean Ellery Golos of the Honors College This was his last year as dean 188 Honors College ANGELO ' S PIZZA J - L P,zz - Li i J HMHHfe m • ■ Fast, Free, Hot Delivery Open Daily at 11 a.m. Try Our New Speciality— Miniburgers 12 W.

After an apathy-filled election, only two people worked to leave that memory from the class of 1977— Dave Culbertson, senior class president and Patricia Edgar, vice president. The two worked to raise $2,000 to help the university build a park in the lot where Howard Hall once stood. They sold O.U. T-shirts at the cam- pus gate before spring break and sent letters to all seniors asking for contributions. The money purchased trees for the park. Culbertson and Edgar sat on the Commencement Committee as representatives of the senior class. They helped choose a speaker for the 1978 commencement, since preparations are made a year in ad- vance. The president also speaks during commencement, so Culbertson signed up for Inco 101 his last helps park area quarter in order to help myself through it. Culbertson and Edgar were chosen in an election which generated votes from only 1 1 7 out of 3,000 seniors. The offices of treasurer, an d secretary were never filled. In hopes of arousing more response, plans were made to change the elections from October to spring during student senate elec- tions. Culbertson sarcastically com- mented, that there was a little bit of apathy in this year ' s election.

Holub He bounded to the front of the room and threw open his blue-jean jacket revealing a camera emblazon- ed across the front of his T-shirt. I get tired carrying that heavy thing around, he said, gesturing to the real camera lying on a table. Now I ' ve found a camera that I don ' t mind wearing. Chuck Scott treated an audience of SDX members to a slide presentation concerning the effec- tive use of photos. Scott, who has revived photojour- nalism classes at OU, was joined by Ed Pieratt, a graduate of fine arts now working as a freelance photographer for the presentation. As the crowd chuckled, giggled, and moaned at the slides showing atrocious photojournalism, Scott made his point, It takes good ideas to make good pictures. However, Scott also treated the audience to a look at good photography. Pieratt ' s shots of the Alaskan pipeline, proved the theory that a photographer must try to show people something they can ' t ordinarily see. 196 Seniors Marty Bonvechio Journalism Marc Bonvoulolr Radio— TV.

Assoc Prof of English Robert DeMott is also an avid hunter and fisherman Upon entering his office, one becomes instantly aware of the affair he is having with literature, its creators and characters Pictures of celebrated, as well as notorious authors fill the walls. Volumes of memoriz- ed quotes reflect his intellectual insight. When one en- counters the man who inhabits this niche, it is obvious that Dr Robert DeMott is at home in the world of literature He is especially well versed in John Steinbeck ' s works DeMott considers Steinbeck one of his favorite authors He said. He (Steinbeck) is an interesting case because even though he won the Nobel Prize, he has never had the kind of critical reception among professors and scholars of American literature that say. Hemmingway and Faulkner have. Yet, I ' d say Steinbeck is one of the best-selling 20th century novelists that America has produced DeMott ' s attraction to Steinbeck led him to the John Steinbeck Society of America. He serves as one of the editorial directors of the Steinbeck Quarterly. a journal published three times yearly by the society. The purpose of the journal, according to DeMott, is to further Steinbeck criticism and scholarship. Over Christmas break DeMott directed a panel on Steinbeck at the annual Steinbeck society meeting which was held in conjunction with the Modern Language Association Convention in New York City. His duties included setting up papers, inviting submis- sion of papers for publication and choosing panel speakers DeMott called the topic of the panel New Directions in Steinbeck Studies. Two of the panelists presented papers dealing with an unfinished Steinbeck manuscript that was recently published DeMott pointed out, It ' s a pretty monumen- tal piece of work DeMott said he is taking a new direction in Steinbeck studies I want to try and see if Steinbeck ' s greatest strength really is not his ability to describe exterior reali- ty but rather his concern with interior psychology, he said Steinbeck ' s reputation has been based on his descriptive passages, he added DeMott said, after the 40s, although he had always had this, he began to change, he began to be concerned with interior reality: a great deal more psychological realism. His works became almost fabular, almost parables. DeMott said he is interested in this surrealism of Steinbeck ' s which few critics have researched. DeMott noted that with Steinbeck ' s increased fame after winning the Nobel Prize and with this shift in his writing, which many critics were not prepared to accept, he began to receive adverse criticism. DeMott said, there is something to that criticism. but he finds Steinbeck ' s work worthy of the study and research he is doing for an article and possibly book. 200 Seniors Mary DeAtley Hearing and Speech Science Joyce DeLong Elementary Education Melinda DeLong Physical Education Frances Denny Special Education Bev Derbyshire Special Education Michael Deslato Journalism Sue Detwller Elementary Education Marjorle Devol Zoology William Devol Education Dennis Dougherty Engineering Pamela Douglas News Reporting Katherlne Dowden Graphic Design James Drugan English and Government David Ducey III Radio— T.V.

The walls were a bare off green. There was a long wooden counter running the length of the right wall, behind which was a lady, who informed her she was in the right place. Further back there were soda fountains nostalgic age-old signs, advertising several different sandwiches and Coke, but she got the impression they don ' t do much business there. There were old fashioned booths, and a strange oval shaped table in the center surrounded by stools. Some were broken, and one was wobbly. Along the left wall were what look like church benches, for more people to sit on. The whole place gave the impression that it had seen far more years than anyone she knew, and undoubtedly years of use. The fountain stands in the bus station exactly like it always has.

University Om- budsman Margaret Cohn helped students unsnarl tangled red tape and aided in the resolution of grievances within the University community. According to Dr. Cohn, The main point of this office was to have someone outside who could provide assistance. The University does care, she said, but problems can occur, when it gets so big that you begin to feel like a social security number. Students brought a wide variety of cases to the ombudsman, such as complaints about University bills, faculty members, and off-campus housing. A lot of times it ' s just a matter of explaining an ad- ministrative procedure, said Dr. Cohn, concerning her solutions to the problems, Sometimes I ' m a mediator between two people, sometimes just an ear for people. She sometimes referred them to the Dean of Students, and said that, all areas of the University try to solve problems as they come up. Read the directions! the om- budsman advised students who wished to avoid hassles. She noted that many problems could be avoid- ed by reading and following the cor- rect procedures in the first place. Aside from the handling of com- plaints, the ombudsman helped plan several seminars— on international students ' problems and on housing. As something surfaces as a problem or concern, this office func- tions as a meeting place, says Dr. Cohn. One major area of concern about the office was its half-time status. Dr. Ombudsman Margaret Cohn relaxes in her McGuffey Hall office. Cohn hoped to have enough data by the end of her tenure as ombudsman to persuade President Ping to change the position to full-time. The president felt that a well-run organization needed no om- budsman, but as Mrs. Cohn pointed out, Since we ' ve been cut back (in the budget), there ' s less time, for problems to be handled through regular channels. Often it just takes an outside ear. The ombudsman had no real authority except the power of per- suasion. But the strength of the position lay in the fact that it was out- side all other administrative areas and was responsible only to the provost and the president. Cohn added, I like to talk a lot as well as listen and that ' s why I ' m persuasive. It ' s nice to know how they come out, she said, regarding cases on which she had worked. It was very satisfying to her to be able to straighten out complex problems. The sign on her office wall read, What an ombudsman most needs is an almost superhuman disregard for personal popularity. But in Dr. Conn ' s case, one doubted whether such a sacrifice was really necessary. 208 Ombudsman Michael Jettlnghoff Journalism Linda Johnson Mathematics Laurel Jones Special Education Sylvle Jones Business Jill Josefczyk Microbiology Joan Hammer Hearing and Speech Vlckl Kandlko General Studies Annette Kartal Education Edward Kearns History and Government Joseph Kender Jr. Outdoor Education Paula Kerschner Child Development Pamela Keske Radio— T.V.

Not only is Dr Frederick Hagerman a professor of Zoology, he is also a consultant to the U.S. Olympic crew team. As a consultant he studies the highly conditioned athlete ' s physiological functions, such as systems in- volving the heart and lungs. He also observes the effect that their strenuous training has on these functions and uses the collected data to construct ways to prevent in- juries and improve performance. Professor Hagerman has accompanied the Olympic team in ' 68 to Mexico, in ' 72 to Munich and in ' 76 to Montreal. He recently has been asked to lead the Exer- cise Physiology Group at the United States New Olym- pic National Training Center. The project will include research on a variety of sports.

After two years of missed deadlines, late deliveries and doubt about the book ' s future, the staff managed to reverse the trend. The book, only in its third year un- der the name Spectrum GREEN, got an early start when plans were finalized in spring 1 976 to insure that there would be a 1977 book. Financial problems plagued the book throughout the year. The book was not in any way subsidized by the university. Consequently, all income depended on book sales, advertising sales and senior portrait sitting fees. Books sold for $10. Sales were lower than expected, although they represented an improvement over previous years. Without a subsidy, the book was unable to pay staff salaries. Lack of interest in staff positions posed a major problem. The positions of advertising manager and sales manager never were filled. The staff ' s main objective in producing the book was to produce a yearbook for everyone at Oil. They aimed to cover every aspect of university life and include photographs of as many people as possible. The book features a hardbound four-color cover, therefore hopefully combating one of the major problems of the softback 1975 book. Another feature of the book is the four-color opening section. The staff used a magazine style format, designer headlines and graphic tapes to give the book less of a yearbook look and more of a magazine appeal. The staff attempted to picture most of the school by offering every dormitory, registered student organization and Greek unit a chance to have its picture in the book for a $5 fee to cover expenses. Approximately 50 groups took part, involving about 800 people. Planning for the book began with staff selection in the spring. Editor Belinda Scrimenti and Managing Editor Susan Wolbert attended the Ohio University College Yearbook Workshop late in the summer. Scrimenti and Business Manager Joe Meyer also attended the Associated Collegiate Press conven- tion in Chicago during November. Advertising centered around the theme. College lasts four years but Spectrum GREEN lasts forever. The staff hoped to increase sales by dis- tributing flyers to all dormitory residents. The majority of adver- tising was done in The Post. Three direct mail promotions were also done. A joint promotion with Dominos Pizza was done in February. Books were delivered during the last week of spring quarter classes. Reporter and graphics staffer John McMillan alphabetizes cards for the books index. C J Hampton Spectrum GREEN 261 A few final comments By Belinda Scrimentl This yearbook is by no means perfect, but I sincerely hope that we have produced a book for most everyone at O.U. We tried to cover all aspects of life here. I hope that everyone who reads the book will find at least one item that they enjoy. The book cannot be everything to everyone, but I do hope there is a little something for each person at O.U. As I look back on my year as editor of the book, my first thought is, Thank God it ' s finished! But my next thought is, The final product made it worth every minute of pain and pleasure. A yearbook is a major production, along with which comes all the problems of journalism and business combined. We finally managed to put a small staff together. I rounded up a managing editor, Sue Wolbert and a photo editor, Durell Hall. We even had a copy editor who quit after he decided to change his major. Fall rolled around and we found a new copy editor, Scott Love. Even- tually we got a staff of writers and photographers, but never did find and ad or sales manager. Then the hassles started. Hassle number one: the senior portrait con- tract. Only heaven knows how many times I thought, once in for all, it was straightened out, only to eventually learn that the person who was sup- posed to approve it had never even seen it. What amazes me most is the number of things that can go wrong. Only with my luck could a roll of film with two whole days ' of senior por- trait sittings get lost in the mail. That was only one of the major catastrophes. For some strange reason, even with the help of the ad professors, we couldn ' t find an ad manager. We did have one once, but she quit after three weeks of doing nothing. When winter quarter came, I was hit with another bombshell. The printer decided they could move our final deadline up two weeks. Of course, they really couldn ' t, but things had gotten mixed up when we had a changeover of represen- tatives. Thanks to our new rep, Terry Henderson, everything got straightened out again. Through it all, though, it ' s been fun. Looking back, even the all- nighters (and I mean all night) with coffee, coke, pizza, more coke, coffee, donuts and more coffee seemed fun. Collectively we ' ve literally spent thousands of hours working on the book. At one time or another, we were all ready to quit. Most of us made it, and now have something to be quite proud of. There have been a lot of people who have been a great deal of help to the staff. Our advisers, J.W. Click and Earl Meyer have spent in- numerable hours of volunteer time to help us. I ' d also like to thank our Inter- Collegiate Press representative, Terry Henderson for his help, Dominos for their help with the joint promotion and Col. Chuck Savedge for his support and expert advice at the workshop. I ' d also like to thank Irene Elizar for her help and support as the senior portrait secretary and Joel Rudy for his permission to put flyers in the dormitory mailboxes. Thanks also goes to Jim Hartman, Anne Goff and President Ping for supporting the concept of the year- book and encouraging its continued publication.

Below: A student paints a sentimen- tal heart on the traditional gralitti wall. As the year draws to a close we sense the same feeling of tradition that first seeped onto campus during fall. The year brought few surprises. Nothing extraordinary happened but things oc- cured subtly. The ad- ministration continued to push the university toward academic excellence as we even heard talk of selective admissions. Plans for the future showed a return to full capacity housing as more dorms become destin- ed for the College of Osteopathic Medicine. A near sellout for the Boston concert and CPB Showcase Series showed renewed in- terest in campus entertain- ment. Participation in in- tramurals increased, the band traveled to New York City and the forensics team continued its winning ways. All about campus students showed a renewed interest in the traditional academic and social life. Students participate in intramu ral basket- ball, one of many heavy-participation in- tramural sports. Closing 271 ;j£ A touch of tradition. Ohio University. As we look back on the year of tradition we see more than tradition. We ' ve seen problems, particularly in the area of budgeting. But yet, we ' ve also seen change and progress. Regardless of problems we ' ve noted ac- complishments in all departments. Changes in academic standards and a continued increase in applications have brought the university a little closer to its goal of fiscal and academic stability. In turn, we ' ve come a little closer in our return to traditional education. Ohio University was founded on the premise that schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. While educa- tion itself is once again in the spotlight, we begin to sense the aura of a touch of tradition. t2S !EB S3 jj jj j i L ■r rr: ;-- ■ « - ,---=.- JBA BB TH V F£ln B 1 riJ NO THY-, H 1 ' 1 - L  A  Students leave the campus gate, one of the campus ' traditional landmarks, as they head into College Green.
