First the snowflakes drifting around your head turn into rays of 95 degree sunshine. It then spreads further and everyone you see is wearing a swimsuit. In the final stage, you stop eating and begin praying for a skinny body. These visions of tropicana dance in your head and suddenly you can ' t take it anymore. You scrape together every dime you can find; you buy all the sun- tan lotion in town, and you |oin thou- sands in the great exodus to Florida for spring break. You make the trip nonstop by switching drivers. Fort Lauderdale is the drawing force for you, although you know many have gone to Daytona or Miami. You ' re not interested in sight seeing — the sun is calling. The days slip into a relaxing routine that is exhilarating at the same time. You sleep late, spend the afternoon Bill Wade Dusk settles over Ft. Lauderdale as vacationers jog with the wind at their backs. frying in the sunshine and migrate to the bars at night. You catch the Wet T Shirt Contest at the Button and reserve the next night for the Banana Contest at Grand Daddy ' s. You fill the days with shopping. Or maybe you discover unique restau- rants. Or you may even live on the beach — swimming, surfing, party mg. And then the week is gone. You know it ' s almost time to start pushing the pen again. You make the trip home non stop but the excitement is gone. All that remains of spring break are some memories, six rolls of expo- sed film and a suntanned face peek ing out between your hat and muffler. 12 Spring break Bright Lights, Long Nights 24-hour Road Construction Disturbs South Green Residents By Merope Pavlides As University students, most of us are used to more than a little noise. Blaring stereos, loud parties and con- certs with extremely high decible lev- els are typical of college life. But last winter when construction crews used heavy earthmoving equipment on the bypass to Route 50, being built behind the South Green, some resi- dents decided the noise was too much. Since August, 1976, the Great Lakes Construction Company has been working on the new road. It wasn ' t until winter of 1977, however, that the noise level began to get out of hand. The construction crews worked from 7 a.m. until 1 or 2 a.m. and made it difficult for students to study and sleep because of the noise and powerful lights. Because of this annoyance a group of students drew up a petition asking the construction company to limit its hours. They learned, however, that when awarded the contract, the com- pany was given the prerogative to cre- ate its working hours. Normally, unless we ' re held up, we work a double shift, said Jim Hoes- sle, project supervisor for Great Lakes. Hoessle added that last winter it was necessary to take advantage of the weather, as the ground was extremely cold. As a result, the company continued to work long hours for about a month until the equipment was moved. Since then there have not been any complaints about noise, according to South Green Coordinator Holly Ster- neckert. It ' s really been pretty quiet, she said, adding that even when there was a lot of noise, the resi- dents learned to put up with it.

J-Prom ' 77 Brings the Funnies to Life By Paula Baumholtz Photos by Bill Wade How many of us recall those days of May 4th and 5th when the funnies came to life right before our very eyes? When Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird and many others appeared for a very special occasion — the 1977 J-Prom? The Greek organizations of Ohio University were sponsored by the Center Program Board to produce The Funnies Come to Life. Teams that entered were: Alpha Gamma Delta Sigma Nu, Chi Omega Carnegie Men, Phi Beta Pi Beta Theta Pi, Lambda Chi Alpha Alpha Delta Pi and Alpha Xi Delta Delta Tau Delta. The entrants were given about two months to prepare and organize a suitable skit that was subject to final approval by the CPB. Each original skit had to be performed with hand- made props and costumes. After six weeks of preparation and practice, the five teams unleashed their creations on the student body. The result, after the two-night sched- ule, was the awarding of the trophy for best overall skit to the Alpha Xi Delta Delta Tau Delta team. They captured first place for their re-creation of seven Walt Disney characters. Sue Harrison, chairman of J-Prom, was responsible for the program which began on May 4th and ended with the awards presentation and (Above) Lambda Chi ' s Mike Baird belts out a lusty Viking tune.

May 6th. This affair was open to everyone, with music provided by Smokey Row. Judges for J-Prom were selected from various colleges to score individ- ual aspects of each skit. For example, a judge from the school of art scored each group ' s banner for artistry and originality; while a judge from the school of dance graded the choreogra- phy in the skits, and so on. Actual per formance of the skits began at 6 p.m. on May 4th in the Convocation Center due to fear of inclement weather. The next and last evening. May 5th, saw performances begin again at six on both the West and South Greens, and at Putnam Hall. Each team rotated to all the locations in an hour and a half, with fifteen minutes allowed between shows to transport equipment from place to place. Two marshals from each team followed the other four groups to ensure that all rules were obeyed. At the completion of J-Prom, judges awarded the Fuzzies and the Delts 1st prize and the other entrants gained a sense of satisfaction from having competed.

Not, at least, during the first week of May when the College of Communication sponsored its annual Communication Week. Resembling the prophets of a world long gone, professionals from all fields of communication came to the OU campus. They took part in semi- nars, workshops, demonstrations, lec- tures and informal get-togethers in an effort to provide the students with val- uable insights on the latest achieve- ments and advances of communica- tion techniques. Each school encompassed in the College of Communication had its own field day. Doug Sinsel, former Wallace ' s visit in early May highlighted the activities of Communication Week. 18 Communications week Today producer, was the guest speaker for the radio-television seg- ment. In his lecture to R-TV majors, Sinsel discussed the Whys and Wherefores of the Today show. Interspersed with sessions on produc- tion, media management and media sales were several speakers; among them, Don McGannon, president of Westinghouse Broadcasting. The School of Journalism offered seminars exploring topics from Reporting Conditions in South Africa to Show Biz Aspects of Net- work News. Robert Farrell, president of the National Press Club, was given an honor award at the Journalism Awards banquet. Farrell also served as the guest speaker for the group. Amy Sipes and Nanci Castrop gave sign language demonstrations for the Interpersonal Communication School, highlighting a day of activities. The Elizabeth Andersch Award was pre- sented to Virginia Hahne, associate professor of theatre, for her contrib- utions in the field of speech educa- tion. The School of Hearing and Speech Sciences hosted professionals from inside and outside the department. Among their many speakers were Joann Fokes and Norman Garber, who conducted a video-tape lecture con- cerning case studies in language ther- apy. Two main events marked the end of the week. The first was the Ohio Con- ference on Communication held in the R-TV building. The conference was devoted to presentations by researchers currently working on communication problems. The other event was a lecture spon- sored by the Kennedy Lecture Series which featured Mike Wallace of CBS ' s Sixty Minutes. Wallace used exam- ples to illustrate the legal and ethical problems that journalists face in their quest for truth. He also added in his speech before a crowd of approxi- mately 2500 people, that the initial Nixon-Frost interview was a remarka- ble document. Prior to his speech, Wallace was awarded the Carr Van Anda Award for his contributions to the journalism field. Dave Griffin Carr Van Anda Award winner takes some time to watch the first of the Nixon-Frost interviews at President Ping ' s house before his speech at Memorial Auditorium. Communications week 19 Rock ' em Sock ' em Friday Night Fighters KO Crowd With Lively Ring Action By VickRudko A touch of trumpet blasts from the film Rocky inspired the opening of the fourth annual Friday Night at the Fights. Over 2000 rowdy fa ns packed Bird Arena to witness 30 amateur boxers slug it out. The aluminum-like structure expanded and contracted with the pulsating reactions of the screaming crowd. Every time the audience demanded action, the fighters supplied it. It was the simple economic principle of supply and demand learned in Econ. 101 . One of the feature bouts of the evening was a kick-box- ing match between Pete McDaniels and Jim Chlovechok, while the main event pitted OU wrestling star Randolph Scott against Golden Gloves Champion L. B. Towns. This match-up saw Towns thoroughly out-class the inexperi- enced Scott en route to an easy decision. Of the 15 matches, the bout between Allen Talib and Mark KO Kormanik proved most effective in re-estab- lishing the dramatic scene of the film Rocky. In his first organized bout, Talib boxed a role comparable to the character Rocky Balboa. Kormanik, the supposed cham- pion, assumed the counterpart of Apollo Creed as he danced about the ring with flamboyance. The slugfest saw the heralded champion taunt Talib at the outset until the underdog connected with a flurry of wild punches. Kormanik survived a knockdown and later sent Talib to the floor as well. However, Talib, unlike Rocky, recovered in time, and was awarded the decision. Bill Wade Trainers give last-second instructions and encourage- ment between rounds.

In a little over three years the festival has established Athens as a cultural showcase for independent film and video makers. The main pur- pose of the festival is to provide an opportunity for independent film-mak- ers to exhibit their works and to gain public recognition. The festival also offers the public an opportunity to view unique artistic approaches and contrast them with the commercial market. Festival ' 77 was a great success with an attendance of more than 9,000. The Festival drew local interest from the city and University as well as state and national recognition. A total of over 300 films were entered in the competition. These included entries in the fields of animation, documenta- ries, experimental features, video films and short narratives. Films were submitted from the USA, France, the Netherlands, Canada, India and other countries. Among the most popular of the entries, particularly with the stu- dents, were the animated films and documentaries. The festival served the public with creative work on a wide range of top- ics and without the restrictions imposed by the box office. The artist benefited by gaining exposure of his film to audience response. Much of the success of the Athens International Film Festival is credited to Guilio Scalinger, the festival ' s direc- tor. The work of Scalinger and his staff made the 16 days of film activities a spring event that was exciting as well as entertaining.

Film Festival 21 Special Report Spring I Disturbance By James Ambrosio Photos by Bill Wade In what is becoming an annual, though unfortunate, event, uptown Athens erupted into another student-police confrontation on June 5, 1977. This Is the ninth time in the last 10 years that authorities had to forcibly clear the streets of rowdy students. Most students flocked to the bars that night to celebrate the end of spring quarter, and for seniors, the end of their college careers. Students, as has been their custom, overtook Court St. after the taverns closed, blocked uptown traffic and continued their party in the streets. Athens city police, Ohio University Security and Athens County sheriff ' s deputies, augmented by six Washing- ton County deputies, attempted to keep a low profile for the first hour of the street party, but by 3 a.m., the city officials decided to clear the streets. A 28-man police line formed in front of the Athens County Court House and Police Chief Ted Jones stopped his cruiser behind the line of officers. This is Chief Jones of the Athens police department, he announced. I believe this crowd constitutes a not situation. You have 10 minutes to dis- perse onto the campus. The assembled students responded with taunts and |eers. A bottle flew from the crowd landing a few feet in front of police. The police then moved down Court St. towards College Green. With billy clubs drawn, police fired wooden ••knee-knocker pellets into the crowd. Students reacted by tossing more bottles, but by 5 a.m. the disturbance had been quelled. Ten people were arrested, mostly on minor charges. Among the first to be arrested was Sam Crowl, English pro- fessor and chairman of the Faculty Senateduring 1977-78. Crowl was in front of the crowd, try- ing to calm the students when he was arrested. The charges against him 22 Spring disturbance • ' ft ' ■' . ; 7 ' n were later dropped. Estimates of the crowd varied between 500 and 1 000 people and the disturbance was similar to the one in 1976. After that incident, the fledgling Student Senate issued a scathing report which criticized and primarily blamed the police. This year there were no reports; nei- ther side publicly accused the other of starting the confrontation. Typical feelings were best expressed by Vice-President and Dean of Students Carol Harter who called the disturbance ' •totally without rea- son or cause and beyond excuse. Officials are puzzled as how to avoid future occurrences. They have dis- cussed ways giving students an alter- native to uptown bars on potential trouble weekends. Whether such efforts will result in avoiding similar confrontations remains to be seen. ' This is Chief Jones of the Athens police department. I believe this crowd constitutes a riot situation.

Have you ever had an irresistible urge to chase a greased pig? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then chances are you would enjoy Green Weekends, held each May on the East, West and South Greens at Ohio University. These special weekends are spon- sored primarily for the dormitory resi- dents on the various greens, but other people often wander in to share the good times. In 1977 all three greens offered live bands, which played music ranging from bluegrass to hard rock. On the East G reen, dormitory radio station WLHD also played music and gave away prizes. Other special events on the various greens included such activities as tug- of-war, go-cart and shopping cart races, and an outdoor movie. The South Green even offered students a chance to chase a greased pig for fun and prizes. The special weekend on all three greens provided a time for stu- dents to forget about scholastic pres- sures, relax, and just enjoy them selves. Mark Gabrenya Besides having cookouts and live bands South Green residents had the opportunity to catch a greased pig. 24 Green weekends MarkGabrenya The not-so-sandy beach at Strouds is still adequate for many sun-worshippers. It Ain ' t Florida, But . By Jody McRainey You can ' t drink beer, or bring your dog; it ain ' t Florida, but it sure feels good . . . A small state park commonly known as Strouds offers much diversion from steamy classrooms and stale bars in the spring. Hugged by sweet, green hills, the small man- made lake with the not-so-sandy beach is a popular play- ground for both townies and students when the temperature rises. Last spring after an artic winter, Strouds Run was packed to its gills almost daily. Amidst human pyramids, beaver dams and world champion frisbee throwers, one frol- icked in warm and muddy waters, fried in the sun or |ust enioyed the scenery. If you weren ' t up for Beach Blanket Bingo, Strouds is laced with numerous trails for scouting the wild-side. Canoe- ing was also popular although some novice canoers man- aged to stray into the swimming area. Transportation to Athens ' Atlantic varied. A room- mate ' s car, a bicycle or, more cheaply, a thumb got you there in 10 minutes. You can ' t drink beer, or bring your dog, but it sure feels good . . .

Fuller told his audience in the Convocation Center that graduation is a time for reflection about the future and the building of a successful life; cultivated with an honest curi- osity about life. A strong and persistent urge to improve a situation by working with and through others, touched with charisma and empathy, Fuller added, are the qualities that make a successful leader. Degrees were conferred to 3,404 graduates by President Charles J. Ping. Approximately one-third that number attended the exercises. Dr. Sam Crowl, associate professor of English and chairman of the Faculty Senate, presented awards to outstanding undergraduates who had been selected by the various academic departments. Oratories were given by David Culbertson, senior class president; Patricia Chandler, graduate student council pres- ident and L. Dale Springer, an alumni board member. Fuller, Dr. Ariel Hollinshead and Jesse Stuart received honorary degrees.

Graduation 27 Making The Best of a Bad Situation New Techniques Ease Registration Woes By John Micklos Registration — some students find that it ' s no prob- lem, while others consider it the scourge of man- kind. However, whatever your feelings on the sub- ject, it is a necessary evil which every Ohio University stu- dent must face. Larry Terrell, director of registration at OU, said the reg- istration process here is less complicated and more effi- cient than at many colleges. He noted that the sectioning of students is now done by computer, providing a quicker and more equitable method of handling the lengthy process. Terrell added that students benefit from pre-registering, since their scheduling requests are given highest priority. Seniors receive the highest preference, while random selection prevails within a given rank. He noted that over 80 percent of the students pre-register in the winter and Transfer student Patty Foster tries to adjust to the OU registration process. 28 Registration spring, while 65-70 percent sign up ahead for fall quarter. Although many students do not realize it, the registra- tion process begins when a student is admitted and contin- ues until graduation. The process includes the formulation of class lists and schedules, as well as the mailing of grades and maintenance of a permanent grade record for each student. Terrell said a big chore is producing the schedule of classes each quarter. The process is time-consuming as care must be taken to avoid unnecessary conflicts. Terrell feels that many improvements have been made in the reg- istration process since he began in 1969. It ' s the same procedure quarter after quarter, but we do try to make the students ' process easier, so it ' s a challenge in that respect. Tom Powell Sophomore Susan Ostrich is one of many students who contributes to Logan ' s business boom at the start of each quarter. Dave Griffin Registration 29 A Long Day ' s Journey Nighttime Brings Jekyll-Hyde Change To Uptown By John Micklos Uptown Athens seems to possess a split personality. By day, the scene is one of controlled bustle, with students and shoppers scurrying by on their way to classes or to the stores. Weather permitting, passing stu- dents are usually greeted by various groups selling items or soliciting donations at the College Gate. Twice a year, the Council for Exceptional Chil- dren sponsors a Jail-and-Bail. By mak- ing a donation, people can have the student or professor of their choice placed behind bars. During the spring and fall the Col- lege Green serves as a gathering spot, as students lounge beneath the trees or stand around the War Memorial. Occasionally, the serenity of the scene is broken by impromtu speeches by evangelists such as Ted Smock. These evangelists always draw a crowd, but students sometime object to the mes- sage, as another preacher discovered last spring when he was assaulted with a cream pie. By nightfall, however, a metamor- phosis occurs. On weekends espe cially, the nighttime scene is marked by throngs of students ready for a night of drinking in one of Athens ' many bars. The atmosphere is festive and charged with excitement. Of course, some students can ' t wait until night to party, and most bars sponsor Happy Hour reduced rates to accommodate these afternoon drinkers. However, the daytime trade has decreased over the years, said Glen Lawson, owner of the C.I. Getting that much-needed money for the weekend involves patience and a few 30 Uptown into Night extra minutes of waiting in line. MarkGabrenya Trying to drum up business is a frequent patron of one of the local shops. Uptown 31 The nighttime bar scene in Athens continues to flourish though, and uptown offers something for people of all tastes. The Greenery caters to the Greek trade, while the Deck offers disco music for people who like to boogie down between drinks. Mean while, bars like the Graduate and the Union provide a relatively calm atmos- phere in which to drink. For people who enjoy listening to live music while chugging beers, Mr. Boiangles offers the bluegrass sound of the New Vinton County Frogwhom- pers every Wednesday and Thursday night. The Frontier Room also spon- sors live bands on weekends. With all of the bars uptown, it would seem that heated competition would occur. However, Graduate owner Steve Siegfried said, It ' s not a cutth- roat competition. Most of us get along. All good things must come to an end, and around 2 a.m., the uptown scene changes again. Students begin the long trek home, mellowed out and ready to sleep. For those who are attacked by the late night munchies, there are a variety of pizza parlors and sub shops. Also there is the ever-pres- ent Bagel Buggy, run by Athens ven- dor Louie Stevenson, who provides a running banter as he prepares his product. By 3 a.m., the activity has ended. Uptown is quiet and deserted, as if resting in anticipation of another long day ahead. (Above) Entrant takes a breather en route to victory in beer-chugging contest.

Actually, there was neither the hearty German beer nor the aroma of wurst and sauerkraut in the air. Instead, there were games to play, a live rock band and plenty of Stroh ' s. Although scheduled for Bird Arena, Oktoberfest 1977 was indoors at Baker Center on Oct. 7 and 8. While in the past, the festival offered rides as well as games, this year only five booths were present. It was not as good as in past years, said Carol Duncan, president of the Center Program Board, which sponsored the event. Duncan attributed the low attend- ance to changes in the fall quarter schedule. She said, People aren ' t used to the new cycle and mid-terms came up too suddenly. She added that another problem lay in publicizing the event. Posters stat- ing Oktoberfest would be held at Bird were useless and fliers which were left with resident directors may not have been adequately distributed. Although the turn-out was small, those who attended enjoyed them- selves. It was possible to roll the dice at Weld ' s Crap House, put someone in iail at the Old South Slammer, or win a pipe at Sigma Alpha Epsilon ' s frisbee toss and pie-throw. Or, you could just listen to Strutter play on Friday night and Direction on Saturday while munching homemade cookies and popcorn sold by Athens Maga zine. I wish we ' d had more booths, Duncan admitted. However she was not discouraged by the small turn-out. We are definitely going to continue the tradition, she said.

Maintenance Crews Keep Up Campus By Deb Downey There are many unsung heroes on the Ohio University campus. Who are they? The maintenance men, a group of the most needed persons who fre- quently go unrecognized. Everyday we see the greenies working around the dorms and aca- demic buildings, but how many times do we stop and think about the work they are doing and appreciate it? Charles Culp, director of the Physi- cal Plant which supervises the mainte- nance department, says individuals don ' t usually realize exactly what is involved with the maintenance depart- ment and its duties. When dorm resi- dents lose their house key in the mid- dle of the night, who do they call . . . the maintenance department. In the middle of the winter when the snow is piling up, who gets up before any of us are functioning to shovel all the paths . . . you guessed it, the mainte- nance men. These men, the ones we most often see around on the greens, are a part of the ground crew division of the maintenance department. There are maintenance men assigned to each green and they are responsible for that particular sector. Six men are assigned to East Green, seven for the West, 12 for South, and one for the Mill Street apartments. These men also take care of the buildings. Along with cleaning up, trimming the bushes and various other responsibilities, they are also responsible for the central food facili- ties on each green and the laundry service for the green.

Street Vendors Provide Open-Air Market By Amy Dickinson Photos by Greg Smith In keeping with its eclectic atmos- phere, Athens receives the services of several street vendors — men and women who not only lend charm to the town, but execute unique culinary skills, the products and delivery speed of which would put any fast food establishment to shame. Their only form of advertising is the tempting aromas which drift down Court and Union Streets, forming invisible rings through countless noses and enticing their owners to fork over some change for a tostado, crepe or bagel. This is evidently publicity enough, judging from the size of their clientele. Beside the street restauranteurs, there is a fruit and vegetable wagon where one can purchase fresh prod- ucts daily, as well as pick up local scuttlebutt. The items vary from sea- son to season, but are always fresh and reasonably priced, and provide a welcome change from omnipresent vending machines, with their potato chips and candy bars. The best-known of the vendors is Louie (The Bagel Man), who operates the Bagel Buggy and has been known to brave sub-zero tempera- tures to ensure the availability of his ever popular specials. Louie is fast becoming a tradition around OU, and despite a little inflation over the years, his bagels are still a bargain. Even if you don ' t like bagels, it ' s fun to watch him at work — cream cheese and jam never looked so good. Vendors 37 Newest of the street vendors is the Healthy Hamburger stand, which rolled into town in September. A healthy hamburger costs a buck and is worth it. It is fresh (not frozen) beef, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and carrots. The french fries, predict- ably, are equally healthy and actually taste like potatoes. This stand, along with the fruit stand, are daytime oper- ations, while Louie, the Crepe Lady and Tostado stand are nocturnally run. The street section set aside for ven- dors, at the corner of Court and Union, is also fair game for other enterprises — T-shirt sales, old clothes sales, pumpkin sales or what- ever sales present themselves. It can only be hoped that vendors will con- tinue to prosper on the streets of Ath- ens, as their presence is not only con- venient, but (to borrow from Louie) special, as well. 38 Vendors Louie Stevens ' bagels satisfy the late-night munchies.

The Halloween block party that students had looked forward to and that administrators had dreaded ended with both sides satisfied. An estimated 7000 persons enjoyed the unprecedented closing of Court Street. The festivities began at 8:30 p.m. when a two-block sec- tion of Court Street between Union and State was closed by police. Student radio station ACRN set up a remote hookup unit in front of the county courthouse shortly after 10 p.m. and provided music for most of the night. Other organized activities included a costume contest, a half-hour perform- ance by the Marching 1 10 and the cutting of a four by eight- foot cake into 2300 pieces. Although the evening went smoothly, a couple of incidents did take place. One occurred when students set a chair on fire in front of the Deli shortly after 1 a.m. However, James Hartman, OU ' s associate dean of students and Student Sen- ate President Bill Sell quickly extinguished the flames. Hart- man, dressed as a clown, said students surrounding the fire interfered with his efforts. Sixty-nine arrests were made during the evening, but most did not involve OU students. The most common arrest was for violation of the open container law. Athens Police Chief Ted Jones said his men were able to circulate through the crowd and took care of any trouble spots quickly. The Andy Adler Halloween 41 Bill Wade 42 Halloween (Above) Midnight viewers are treated to a special show. Athens police were aided by the OU Security force. The street scene throughout the evening was exciting as students wan- dered back and forth admiring the various costumes. Characters from Star Wars, a chain gang and a six- pack of Hamm ' s marched proudly down the street displaying their cre- ations. For those who didn ' t dress up, watching the antics of the others still made the evening enjoyable. Even the long lines at the bars and the lack of restroom facilities did not dampen the spirits of the crowd. When it was all over. University and city clean-up crews were faced with the task of collecting the debris. Aided by University administrators, who swept the sidewalks, the crews com- pleted their |ob in about 90 minutes. As for future Halloween parties here. Mayor Donald Barrett inferred that a precedent may have been established. I think whether we want to (see it continued) or not, it ' s going to happen.

Making a Comeback Alumni Attempt to Renew Old-Time Spirit By Sue Koch When you try to rejuvenate a dying object, you can create a monster. But when the Alumni Association tried to revive the dying Homecoming tradi- tion, no monsters appeared. Leading the Homecoming parade, to open the weekend, the Marching 1 10 brought back the old-time excite- ment of the event. Marching bands from area high schools also per- formed. Sigma Nu fraternity and Alpha Xi Delta sorority won the float competi- tion with a Bob Hope nose, while Zeta Tau Alpha sorority won an award for the most imaginative creation. A float featuring the Black Homecoming candidates also took honors. Other Homecoming activities were a banquet for sports players inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame and the Bob Hope concert (see related story, page 47). A special Marching 110 com- posed of alumni band members high- lighted the football game. Of particu- lar interest were two elderly alumni who calmly followed the band ' s antics except for occasional lapses. Miss Bobkitten, sponsored by Chi Omega sorority, also appeared at the game to revive another tradition. The female mascot joined the Bobcat to excite the crowd. Homecoming 45 Queen-Size Effort Cancer Society Benefits From Black Homecoming Drive By Peg Loftus Following a dance routine done to the theme of Wish- ing on a Star, Miss Cecillia Hicks was crowned Miss Black Homecoming. Under competition guidelines the candidate who raised the highest amount of money for the American Cancer Society was named queen. Hicks raised $555, surpassing the other girls ' totals. Black Student Cultural Programming Board spon- sored the event since Homecoming in the past was not geared to what blacks could relate to. Darryl Clark, president of BSCPB, added that Homecoming was not meeting the blacks ' needs. Raising money for charity is the main goal of the event, and this year the candidates collected over $3000; establishing a new record. First runner-up. Miss Parri Strickland, collected $509.41 and said she entered the contest to see what it was like. She concluded that overall, It really wasn ' t that hard, people were pretty generous.

Their anticipation became rest- lessness as they listened to Philadel- phia Phillie Mike Schmidt and the Marching 110 perform. The lights then dimmed and Thanks for the Memories drifted from the stage band. With the atmosphe re set, Bob Hope appeared on stage. He bombarded the audience with his cynical humor and attacked everything near and dear to his listeners ' hearts, including world- wide and national issues, ethnic groups and the city of Athens. Hope ' s jibes were quick and devas- tating. I had to debate for my fee tonight. What a great debate team you have — I ended up with dinner for two at the Hungry Mouth. Hope sang songs, hassled a photog- rapher for taking nostril shots and praised the Marching 110 while rib- bing them at the same time. When he closed the show, a stand- ing ovation brought him back and he delivered a talk on the greatness of the United States and its people. The crowd then wandered out of the Con- vocation Center with a lasting mem- ory. Jeff Hinckley (Left) Bob Hope ad libs with the unknown comic. (Above) Did you hear the one about . . .

' - Vrf- i jf% ' ' The Only Predictable Thing About Athens Weather Is Its Unpredictability Weathering Heights Tim Goltz and Kim Singleton find time for fall frolic in the leaves. Bill Wade By John Micklos and Mike Sobczyk If you liked the winter of ' 77, then you loved the winter of ' 78. To be hon- est, Athens weather is something you have to experience to believe. For instance, the spring of ' 77 saw a hodgepodge of conditions with cool weather predominating. While many outings at Strouds Run were damp- ened by rain, just as many dreary mornings were transformed into bright, sunny days. A humid summer then followed, with students arriving in early Septem- ber in time to enjoy the last few weeks of warm weather. As autumn unfolded, unseasonably cool condi- tions began to appear. Heavy |ackets and mittens replaced the sandals and T-shirts of early September. Early frost occurred and students who had braved the rigors of last year ' s record cold began to fear an instant replay. And sure enough, these people weren ' t disappointed. Temperatures throughout the winter months remained consistently cold and stu- dents had to trudge through some abnormally deep snow in order to get to classes. The weather conditions were so adverse at times that the uni- versity actually closed on Friday, Jan- uary 13. Andy Adler (Above) As Athens, Nelsonville, and other surrounding areas experienced an abnormally heavy snowfall, snowplows were kept busy trying to keep the roadways clear. (Left) Nature at work is especially beautiful at Cedar Falls during the autumn months. Athens weather 49 As snow piled up on Court Street, removal became a daily task. The university ' s hopes for relief were clashed on February 2, when the groundhog in Puxatawney, Pa. saw his shadow. After receiving this dis- turbing news, the administration braced itself for six more weeks of winter weather. What ' s more, as the coal strike dragged on into February and March, the university employed conservation measures, as lights in classrooms were dimmed. Students and faculty alike found it necessary to bundle up as thermostats in the classrooms were turned down. Through all of the adversity, how- ever, thoughts of spring break in Flo rida gave students something to look forward to. Visions of Strouds Run, Softball and other spring activities also danced in the heads of many stu- dents. So w eather you like it or not, the climate in Athens is something you have to experience to believe. Bill Wade Any shelter will do in poor weather.

The season seems to be over before it ' s begun, but for the Marching 110 there will always be some memories to cling to. The thing I ' ll remember most, said senior Jack Delaney, is the way things can look hopeless at rehearsal on Saturday morning, and then come together on the field on Saturday afternoon. When 1 10 people put their heads together, anything can happen. You learn not to give up. Director of Bands Ron Socciarelli has memories of his own. Homecom- ing was one incredible scene. The alumni band came out and got a standing ovation — and when we closed our halftime show with ' MacA- rthur Park, ' I can remember the fans going wild. I ' ll never forget that. Performing for Bob Hope that same night was something we ' ll all remember, too, continued Socciar elli. When I met him backstage after our show, he said, ' Wow, what are those guys on? ' I told him that t he adrenaline had really been flowing on stage and he replied, ' Oh, man! Those guys act like they ' ve been smoking the lawn! ' Homecoming was just one of the many memories, and others stretch back even farther than that — back to endless rehearsals on sultry Septem- ber days, back to a rain-swept stadium at Purdue, back to smoke bombs and flash pots and screaming high school kids at the Ohio Theatre — and back to the 1 10 very different people who make up the Ohio University Marching Band. I was really amazed at how well everyone got along, said first-year member Kitty Grimm. The band ' s a pretty close-knit group. What we go through is crazy, at band camp and during the season, but it seems that everyone wants to get back together and do it again next year. I know I do. Delaney agreed. The band has a personality all its own. When things go bad, you suffer together. When things go well, you celebrate together. It ' s a Swaying to the music gives band members good vibrations.

Although you may not like the guy who marches next to you, you both continue to function as part of the group. Usually things went well, and they celebrated together. One sour note, however, marred an otherwise upbeat season. The problem arose when Miami University ' s Homecoming Committee failed to invite the 1 10 to Oxford to perform during the OU- Miami football game. Time conflicts and a need for cooling off were cited as the reasons for the snub. The incident began when an overzealous Bobcat fan harassed members of the Miami band last year as they left Peden Stadium to march to their buses. Miami Band Director Nicholas Poc- cia later wrote to Socciarelli demand- ing an apology, but Socciarelli denied responsibility for the incident and declined to apologize. •1 think it was a very unfortunate set of circumstances, Socciarelli later said. I hope never again in the history of marching bands will any band ever be denied the opportunity to accompany their football team to a game. It ' s the good times that will be remembered, though — the positive things that kept the spirit going. I think the band grew up some this year, junior Nick Mihalik said. The madness is still there, but this year, some polish, some sophistication was added. I ' m looking forward to coming back next year and seeing where we can take it. Socciarelli, too, looks to the future. Every year, every new group of kids presents a challenge. To watch those students grow from high school sen- iors into men and women of maturity, and to just blow their minds with expe- riences they never dreamed could happen to them — that ' s what will continue to make it all worthwhile. The last show was played in mid- November. A few hardy fans huddled together on the nearly-empty stands in Peden Stadium, braving chill breezes and cold rain to watch the band do it just one more time. It was the senior show, planned entirely by the four-year veterans — the last remaining members of the Marching Men of Ohio, marching their last show together. The capes flew, the plumes rustled, and the surging rhythms of Long Train Runnm ' filled the air once more. And at last, with some relief, some regrets, and many happy memories, that final note was played.

Marching 110 55 Routine Performances Drum Up Support OU Cheerleaders Kindle Enthusiasm During Athletic Contests By Kathy Reiley Being an OU cheerleader requires a lot more than a loud voice and a short- skirted uniform. The Bobcat cheer- leaders are OU ' s most enthusiastic fans, and there is much more Involved than most people realize. For instance, the cheerleaders practice strenuously for two hours twice a week, perfecting cheers, gymnastic feats and pompom routines. What ' s more, they attend every home game and most away games to cheer on the varsity teams. Try-outs are held each spring as prospective cheerleaders vie for posi- tions on the following year ' s squad. This year ' s cheerleaders were Captain Joyce Dorsey, Joyce Wickhne, Shen Isaac, Nancy Johnson, Penny Her- man, Sue Newman, Joy Martin and Tina Gothard. In addition to cneering at games, this year ' s squad held a cheerleading clinic during the summer for high school and junior high school groups. The OU cheerleaders instructed the groups on cheering and pom-pom routines. This effort raised about $400, which paid for the cheerlead- ers ' travel and related expenses this season. The cheerleaders worked hard to support the OU teams, and they themselves are something for OU to cheer about. Tina Gothard forms the peak of the Green and White ' s great pyramid. Greg Smith 56 Cheerleaders Finals week is a phrase known to strike terror into the hearts of timid, insecure students, or merely annoy more confident and carefree students. Throughout the seven-day panic, which strikes at the end of each quar- ter, the entire campus is converted into a place of hypertension. Glazed eyes of battle-scarred individuals returning from exams gaze across the College Green into oblivion. Mum blings and muttenngs which are actu- ally desperate attempts to memorize the marginal propensity to consume, the stages of cognitive development, the political ramifications of the indus- trial revolution, and so on, can be heard everywhere. Bad habits, such as chain smoking, nail nibbling, hair pulling, vigorous gum-chomping and narcoleptic fits, emerge Hyde-like dur- ing this time of particular stress. Two basic approaches are used to cope with the trauma of finals. The first approach is to hole up completely in a room; to become a hermit, a social moron — coming out only for a breath of unpolluted air, irregular meals and THE EXAM. Symptoms of hermit-mania include frequent dis- tress calls to some sympathetic soul and the furious boil of the hot pot, for those revolting but much-needed cups of Maxwell House. No-Doz tablets are also considered standard equipment for finals week, hermit-style. The second set of tactics involves daily and or nightly treks to Alden Library, where quarter crammers try to study in the company of equally frantic students. Wandering through the building, most find all the favorite haunts, those choice seats by the windows on the sixth and seventh floors, occupied. Thermoses and styrofoam cups litter tables already cluttered with books and paper. The air hums from shuf- fling pages and murmunngs of study groups. Initially, a sense of what appears to be busyness, pervades the library ' s atmosphere. But upon closer inspec- tion, it becomes somewhat of a fagade — at least on the part of some people. There is much talking, much tittering and constant expressions of empathy. There are many comings and goings like frequent trips to The Oasis, or to Carol Lee ' s for a coffee and doughnut fix. In the way of motivation, you have the university to thank, for finals week is probably the one and only time stu- dents are able to apply what they man- aged to learn in Psychology 101; the old carrot and stick technique, oper- ant conditioning (or was that classical conditioning.) Everyone works dili- gently to prepare for final exams, thinking only of the ultimate goal . . . No, not becoming a world-renowned physicist, or just getting an A, but a trip uptown. One of the few things that can make the whole studying process, or the whole week, bearable is visiting a favorite spot and downing some beers with a few companions in mis- ery. The only thing better than this reward, though, is knowing that finally, you have completed the very last exam. Nothing can beat that! By Annette Preuss Bad habits, such as chain-smoking, nail- nibbling, hair pulling, vigorous gum-chomping and narcoleptic fits, emerge Hyde-like during this time of particular stress. Finals week 57 Ohio University Theater Celebrates 90th Anniversary Season All Reviews by Merope Pavlides A Streebar Named Desie The Ohio University Theater pro- gram got off to a powerful start this year with a dynamic production of Tennessee Williams ' drama, A Streetcar Named Desire. With the Forum Theater converted into a seedy back street of New Orleans ' French Quarter, the fine line between reality and magic began to fade away. The excellent performances of Greg Vinkler as Stanley Kowalski and Janis Stevens as Blanche DuBois allowed director David McClendon to carefully juxtapose the starkness of dally life with the gentle beauty of Blanche ' s dream world. Although the essential character of Stella Kowalski, Stanley ' s wife and Blanche ' s sister, was slightly lost in Susan Selig ' s performance, it was not enough to keep this produc- tion from communicating Williams ' devastating statement about that Streetcar Named Desire. Bill Wade Reunion brings both cheerful memories and bitter realizations to sisters Stella Kowalski (Susan Selig) and Blanche DuBois (Janis Stevens). 58 OU theater Amahl and the Night Visitors Alan Fuchs Amahl ' s mother (Janet Breidenbach) is both concerned and confused at the appearance of such regal guests. Alan Fuchs Caspar, one of the three Wise Men to visit Amahl, tells the crippled boy of the wondrous treasures he keeps in his lucky box. Gian-Carlo Menotti ' s Christmas opera, Amahl and the Night Visitors, was the OU Theater ' s second produc- tion of the season. The opera, which told the story of a small crippled boy who Is visited by the Wise Men on their way to see the Christ Child, could have been a delightful piece had it been presented at Christmas time. However, since it was presented at the beginning of November, the play lost a great deal of effect as it lacked a sense of Christmas spirit. As a result the otherwise meaningful curing of the crippled boy was reduced to triteness. Not only was the production timing poor, the play was dou- ble-cast, with a marked difference between the performances of the two groups. Despite these downfalls, there was a cer- tain appeal about the small boys, Christopher Coleman and Tom Zook, who sang the part of Amahl in the opera. They brought enough fun to the play to keep it from becoming tir- ing. OU theater 59 santhrooe OU ' s production of Moll ere ' s Misanthrope which ran November 9 13 in the Forum Theater proved to be a disappointment Rather than treating Mohere ' s farce about Parisian high soci- ety with the sharpness it deserves, the company played it as slapstick, straining the meager plot and defeating the clever dialogue. Another hinderance of the production was the poorly designed set. Besides not work ing well for the action of the players, the set was entirely unconvincing, with the flats looking as if they had been fin- gerpainted. The saving grace of the play was the casting. Judy Mayer did a fine |ob with the part of Celimene, the coquettish yet bitchy widow with whom the men in the play are in love. Likewise, Rebecca Erwin did an admirable |ob with the part of Arsinoe, Celimene ' s hypocriti- cally pious friend. Lastly, Rob en Kaschalk ' s part as Oronte, Celimene ' s poetic suitor was amusing and gratefully not affected, as it could have been Sill Wade Celimene (Judy Mayer) mocks both her friends and their lifestyle to her lover Alceste ' s (Tom Adams) amazement. 60 OU theater AlcxJwomari of Chalet Tom Powell Aurelia, the Madwoman of Chaillot (Rebecca Erwin), finds pleasure in the simple things of life from an iris to a string of fake pearls. In an array of color and fantasy, the OU Theater began the second quar- ter with Jean Giraudoux ' s delightful comedy, The Madwoman of Chaillot. Revolving around an eccentric old woman in Pans, and her entourage of vagabonds, the play depended not on its story line, which was simple at best, but rather on its vibrant characterizations of good and evil. By using ornate and intricate costumes for the Madwoman and her followers, and grim grays, blacks and whites for the men who would exploit the good nature of the people of Chaillot, director Dennis Dalen succeeded in turning the cast into veritable caricatures of kindness and wickedness, respectively. The combination of superb acting by Rebecca Erwin as the Madwoman, and Doug- las Baker as the Ragpicker, enhanced the play even more and made the show one of pure enioyment. (Above) Prospector (Greg Vinkler) explains to corporation president (Jeff Huber) his clever plan for finding oil he believes hidden under the streets of Paris. OU theater 61 emonies Men ' Ceremonies in Dark Old Men, ' ' written by Lonne Elder III, and set In Harlem, ran February 22-26 in the P atio Theater. The story, which was about family and social con- flicts surrounding a widower and his three grown children, proved to be one of this year ' s more tedious productions. The script lacked action and was laden with clumsy dialogue and noble speeches that were handled poorly by the cast. Elder ' s play is reminiscent of watching a long, drawn-out family fight — resulting only in head- aches and bad feelings. The few enioyable moments of the show came from the perform- ances of Bruce Butler as the father, Russel Parker, and of Herbert Par- ker as a neighbor, William Jenkins. Though students, both actors man- aged to portray the old men clev- erly, bringing some freshness to the otherwise trite production. Fuchs Blue Haven (M. A.

Tom Szalay Tom Szalay General Cornwallis ' soldiers discuss strategy in the play George Washington Crosses the Delaware. The OU Theater finished the second quarter of its season by presenting an evening of amusement in four short plays. A Change of Hearts, as the performance was dubbed, was not originally scheduled to be presented this year, but due to conflicts within the theater department, Friends, the play originally scheduled for the end of winter quarter was canceled. Although different in content, each of the plays was similar in nature, rang- ing from the ridiculous to the ridicu- lous. The evening began with They by Arnold Weinstein, in which a young man worries about a dinner he is about to give for the sole purpose of being invited to a party in return. The second piece was entitled Bertha, and was an almost two-dimensional view of Bertha, Queen of Norway, as she hysterically conquers country after country, including her own. The third piece, A Change of Hearts, by Kenneth Koch, was a half- sung, half-spoken farce about campus unrest and a heart surgeon who spends his time switching hearts from person to person. Lastly the company presented George Washington Crosses the Del- aware, also written by Koch, which oddly enough was about Washington crossing the Delaware. All in all it was like watching a three- ring circus. It was fun to watch and funnier to listen to, and provided an evening of simple-minded humor, appropriately enough, just before finals week. OU theater 63 64 Concert Musical Smorgasbord Concert Variety Offers Something For Everyone ' s Taste By Paul Raab Diverse was the word for the Athens concert scene this year, as patrons of the arts were treated to everything from the zany high-|inks of comedian Steve Martin to the polished, classi- cally-influenced |azz and rock of Emer- son, Lake and Palmer and the high- energy rock and blues laid down by Geils before a record Memorial Audi- torium crowd. Martin and warm-up act John Sebastian began the talent parade on October 5 at Memorial Auditorium. Sebastian who entertained the crowd with such hits as Nashville Cats and the theme from Welcome Back, Kot- ter, received a warm hand for his efforts. Martin was definitely the star of the show, however, delighting the crowd with his own special brand of insanity. Entertainment of a more serious kind was provided by British musi- cians Greg Lake, Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer. Playing before a sparse (Left) Starship Davis was one of several groups to please Athens concert-goers. (Above) Geils ' lead-singer, Peter Wolfe. crowd at the Convocation Center on October 15, they treated those in attendance to a slick, professional show featuring excellent music and entertaining stage effects. The two hour-long sets displayed the talents of each in turn, beginning with the keyboard skills of Keith Emer- son. His expertise was especially evi- dent on Take a Pebble and Mus- sorgsky ' s Pictures at an Exhibition. Greg Lake ' s smooth vocals lulled the crowd with romantic numbers like C ' est La Vie, while livelier pieces sparked enthusiastic reaction. Carl Palmer ' s percussion wizardry drove the group throughout the show, but it was in the second hour that his talents came to the forefront. Perched behind his massive drum set, Palmer beat out intricate rhythms that brought the fans to their feet, especially after the extended solo prefacing Tank. Most of the crowd at Gary Wright ' s February 3 performance left before the headliner completed his perform- ance. The music, mostly of Dream Weaver vintage, was backed by list- less ladies waving tambourines and a film show that left most of the crowd Concert 65 unimpressed. Although Wright turned out wrong, the next band to take the stage at Memorial Auditorium put on a show that will be remembered for a long time. Geils. formerly the J. Geils Band, rolled into Athens on February 18 and proceeded to turn a Sib ' s Weekend crowd upside down. It ' s not often a crowd lets loose like they did tonight, vocalist Peter Wolf said after the show. He and his five fellow band members emerged to much applause after a brief but unsuccessful foray by pseudo-punk rockers. Screams. Wolf and his mates wasted little time in getting the con- cert back on its feet and the fans on theirs. The 2,579 people who filled all but 10 of the auditorium ' s seats needed little encouragement, rising from their seats with almost every song. Detroit Breakdown drew the first standing ovation, and there were many more to come. Wolf descended into the crowd during Musta ' Got Lost, and was instantly engulfed by a mass of happy people. Give It Up followed, and the crowd went wild. Where did Our Love Go ended the regular set, and the band withdrew briefly from the stage, but everyone knew they ' d be back. The frenzied ovation they received confirmed it. The enthusiastic musicians played five encores in all, including Love- itis, a rocker rendered by Wolf from a prone position at center stage, and Serve You Right to Suffer, a bluesy piece strongly featuring J. Geils on lead guitar. Finally, after two hours and 10 minutes of nonstop rock-and- roll good times, Geils left the stage, with a final wave of the hand from Wolf. I thought it was the best perform- ance I ' ve seen in Athens, PCC Chair- man Lee Marshall said of the show. People were on their feet for every song. We know that Athens is a coun- try-rock based town, but there are enough rockers around to make shows like Geils a big success. Getting Geils to Athens took a lot of string pulling, a lot of phone calls, Marshall continued. But with the coop- eration of agents, promoters, musi- cians, and especially the crowd, the efforts paid off. The atmosphere in Alex Bevan belts out his Skinny Little Boy before an appreciative audience. Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, delights the crowd with his percussion solo. 66 Concerts High-energy rock and blues band, Geils, with vocalist Peter Wolf, was the highlight of Sibs ' Weekend.

Mark Gabrenya For two hours and 1 minutes, the six-member Geils ' band rocked- ' n-rolled. the auditorium was just right as the crowd was up and the band was up. Local boy Jonathan Edwards returned to Athens for one of the few concerts not sponsored by PCC or CPB — Swanky ' s owner Ivan Faske did the honors instead for the Febru- ary 23 show at the Athens Theatre. Local musician Lost John rendered some heartache and sorrow; then, Edwards ' good-time style helped the crowd get a good buzz on. Some rowdy banter was traded by musicians and audience. Boy, what a polite group, Edwards quipped. Assisted by talented bassist Cheryl Wheeler and virtuoso pianist Kenny White, the grizzly singer-songwriter swung easily through his repertoire of favorites. Honky-Tonk Stardust Cow- boy drew much applause, as did Cold Snow and Sunshine. ' Ath- ens County got everyone moving ( Somehow, that never goes over quite as well as it does around here, said Edwards), and his strongest piece, Shanty, closed the set. Bluegrass fanciers in the meantime, got a big surprise when the Earl Scruggs revue picked and grinned their way through a ninety-minute show in Memorial Auditorium on March 4. Although Scruggs still plays banio like no other man alive, some fans questioned whether he actually was as his moribund demeanor left doubts. Alex Bevan, the skinny little boy from Cleveland, Ohio, opened the show with eight songs from his div- erse and entertaining repertoire. I ' d like to alter your consciousness here for a moment, he said in introducing Rainbow. That, along with I wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate, led up to Skinny Little Boy, the high point of his performance. Scruggs, his sons Gary, Steve and Randy, and drummer Taylor Rhodes each had a chance to showcase their ample talents during the show, athough Scruggs allowed his sons to take the spotlight most often. From bluegrass classics like Orange Blos- som Special featuring a sizzling fid- dle solo from Randy Scruggs, through daddy Earl ' s Foggy Mountain Break- down and Ballad of Jed Clampett, 68 Concerts Jonathan Edwards, singer and songwriter, appeared at Swanky ' s during the winter quarter. Jeff Hinckley the fingers flew much as expected. It was the unexpected that will be remembered, however, as Scruggs and his band were as much blues as bluegrass, and occasional jazz licks and rockabilly rhythms surfaced amidst the Nashville sound. With its surprises and diversity, the Scruggs show proved to be a micro- cosm of the music presented to Ath- ens this year — something for every- one seemed to be the theme. Although musical tastes on campus differ as widely as do bagels and pizza, the connoisseur of good sounds, like the connoisseur of good food, could certainly find something to delight the senses and gladden the heart.

Concerts 69 Telling It like It Is Speakers Use First Amendment Rights To Criticize Government Best-selling author Chaim Potok spoke before an attentive crowd in Memorial Auditorium. 70 Lectures Former director of the CIA William Colby related the historical foundation of American intelligence. By Sue Koch T JL h he United States government caught a lot of flack from the speakers sponsored by both the Student Lec- ture Series and the Kennedy Lecture Series. Michael Harrington began it all on September 22 when he criticized the American society and the govern- ment before a surprisingly large audi- ence at Memorial Auditorium. The society of this country is struc- tured so that no matter who runs it, only the corporate power matters, Harrington said. As chairman for the Democratic Socialist Organizing Com- mittee, Harrington, has differentiated between two conservative views exist- ing in America. One is the overall maionty of the people — the consum- ers who have free choice when they cast their ballots in the market place. The other view is the social or ruling class. These people use the government for themselves against all the rest. Because Harrington is a socialist, the capitalistic economic system of the U.S. was his primary target for criticism. Harrington said the capital- istic system requires recessions and that as it moves towards prosperity, it creates its own conditions for failure. He also blamed the government for perpetuating the problems inherent in the system. The government ' s policy is to increase the maldistribution of wealth. By making the rich richer, it is hoped that the crumbs will fall from their table to the less fortunate. Wassialy Leontief, a 1973 Nobel Prize winner for this work in econom- ics, also criticized the American econ- omy and the way the government is handling it. We keep fumbling around with policies we know don ' t work, Leontief said during his Febru ary 1 7 lecture. Leontief feels the government would be better off developing new policies through central, economic planning. Planning is a dirty word, he said. The government responds to emergency calls instead of anticipat- ing events. He added that the only thing keeping central planning from becoming reality in the U.S. is an exaggerated respect for the notion of pure competition and an exaggerated fear of monopolies and other crea- tures of the planned economy. Leontief has prepared for the United Nations a study with ambitious predictions of economic conditions 25 to 30 years from now. He used alter- native scenarios based on estimates of such things as the amount of oil left in the earth to illustrate his points. A vanguard, black politician from the ' 60s, Julian Bond, was more spe- cific in his criticism of the govern- ment. He attacked President Jimmy Carter in particular for being unres- ponsive to the demands of the black electorate. We have voted in a man who knows the numbers of our hymns, but not the numbers on our paychecks, he said on January 15. Bond, who has been a Georgian state senator for 12 years, said Carter has failed to provide equity between employment ratios for black and white youths. He added that Carter must distinguish between human needs and the money to provide those needs. Because Carter has failed thus far to do this, his inability to face major issues is apparent. Bond listed several predominate needs for blacks, including a complete national health care program, effec- tive government control of monopo- lies, reverse income tax for low income workers and programs that meet the needs of unemployed blacks. With all this criticism of the govern- ment, many students found William Colby intriguing for an insider ' s view- point. Colby is a former director of the CIA, and in his January 24 speech, recounted much of the historical foun- dation of the CIA. According to Colby the CIA was formed in 1950 when the government decided that Pearl Harbor might have been avoided if the bits and pieces of information lying around the various departments had been organized or centralized. Colby said the modern CIA is a collection of masters and doctors and claimed that scholar- ship is the key element of American intelligence. Colby discussed the major changes made in the CIA during 1 973. He said Lectures 71 1 973 Nobel Prize winner Wassialy Leontief advocates a planned economy in the United States. many methods were illegal or simply unacceptable and thus were revised or eliminated. We found that there is no part of the American government free from the law. Contrary to popular belief, American intelligence is con- ducted under the law. Several plans of the CIA were mere history. That we have benefited doesn ' t necessarily make it good, Colby said. He used the Bay of Pigs as an example of a CIA activity that failed miserably and added that no assassi- nation of foreign leaders took place under CIA auspices, although he admitted that they tried. Intelligence operations are a necessary evil to meet worldwide economic, political and nuclear problems, he added. Chaim Potok was the only speaker who did not criticize the government when he spoke in Memorial Audito- rium on November 2. Instead he spoke about his writing and the deci- sions he had to make to begin his career. Potok came from a traditional. Orthodox Jewish background where his decision to write novels devastated his mother and his Talmud teacher. Jewish artistic tradition is non-exis- tant, Potok said. If you choose tra- dition, you lose the art; if you choose art, you inflict harm on the members of the tradition. Because of this line of thinking, Potok has had a lifetime struggle of assimilating Jewish heritage with his art. His novels ' dominate theme reflect this struggle. He has written four books: The Chosen, The Promise, My Name is Asher Lev and In The Beginning. Potok is currently working on a new book, but refused to disclose the sub- iect. I ' m branching out with this novel, he said. It is no small thing to feel somewhat fulfilled at least as a writer, if not as a brain surgeon.

(Below) Sibling says final goodbyes after a weekend of pizzas, beer and fun. A caravan of buses pulls into town. Court Street is lined with bodies and cars heretofore unseen; and Richland Avenue looks like a New York freeway at rush hour. Oh, no, what is it? Close encounters of the fourth kind? Instant inundation? Nope, try brothers, sis- ters, friends, relatives or all of the above. Three times a year, or an average of once per quarter, Ohio University sponsors special weekends designed specifically for craziness. It begins in October with Dad ' s Weekend, pro- ceeds to Sib ' s Weekend in February and in May ends with Mom ' s Week- end. Typical preparations for these week- ends include a mad dash to Krogers for seven bottles of Fantastick to scrub all that graffiti off the bathroom walls and the little cubby by the phone that looks like God ' s answer to profan- ity; whirlwind clean-up jobs to make visible the bed and desk that has been hidden all quarter; a rush to the washer and drier to get rid of that sweetly-scented mountain growing on the closet floor; instant panic to find a safe hiding place for the pipes and bottles that say MD 20 ; and of course, proper display of books and notes to illustrate impressive study habits. And then, there it is — the knock on the door — and the reign of insanity begins. Sibs Weekend, 1978, featured for all those brothers and sisters, a bas- ketball game against Miami on Fill the Convo Day. Sadly enough, OU lost But that didn ' t put an end to the good times. After the game, lines of people left the Convo to head uptown to snag an early beer, or drifted into Angelo ' s for a bite of pizza before trapsing into Memorial Auditorium for the Geil ' s concert.

For those of us without sibs, there is always Mom ' s Weekend or Dad ' s Weekend. This year, Mom and Dad were able to party together on Par- ent ' s Weekend, held in October on the date usually reserved for Dads only. The highlight of this weekend was a football game against Kent State, which saw OU soundly defeated In Peden Stadium. Following the game, the folks shopped around uptown and then it was out to dinner at the Oak- room or the Sportsman. Saturday night came alive for par- ents at the ever-famous Sargent Hall casino where Mom and Dad were able to try their luck at Athens hottest gambling spot. Uptown looked like Times Square on New Year ' s Eve, as parents were escorted from bar to bar and given the grand tour of college life. Sunday was spent quietly in church or in the bathroom, depending on the amount of alcohol consumed the night before, and after a healthy lunch at Frisch ' s, parents departed amid final farewells and wallet padding. Other activities of special weekends for Sibs and the folks include movies, plays and just plain having fun. People come from all over to visit and to spend money, which is fine with uptown merchants. But this happy change of pace must give way to the regular routine once Monday rolls around; and then its back to the graff- iti, mountains of laundry and MD 20. Faith, Hope, And Charity Religious Groups Offer Campus And Community Outlets To Express Beliefs By Margaret Grande The campus religious community promotes a variety of youth organiza- tions. Ranging from the traditional religious arrangement to the informal inter denominational organization, the religious community offers some- thing for everyone. United Campus Ministry (UCM) rep resents the most broadly based cam- pus religious organization. Affiliated with the Episcopal Church, Presbyte nan Church, United Church of Christ, United Methodist, Brethren Church, and the Disciples of Christ, UCM pro vides a number of services. Career and planning ministries, counseling services, advising groups as well as marriage enrichment retreats, hunger awareness programs, minority sup- port groups, Careline, the Gay Inform ation Service, Women ' s and men ' s lib- eration groups and personal growth and encounter groups are only some activities sponsored by UCM. Non- credit courses centered around Chris- tian education are also UCM-spon- sored through the 0U Continuing Edu- cation Department. Founded in 1938, Hillel Foundation was established on behalf of OU ' s Jewish students. With the help of B ' nai Brith, the Columbus Jewish Fed- eration and the Athens Jewish Com- munity, Hillel reaches out to all Jews in Southeastern Ohio. Some activities Hillel sponsors include discussion groups, retreat weekends, films, Sun- day brunches and other activities aimed at promoting the religious, cul- tural, political and social needs of the OU Jewish community. We ' ve developed quite a commu- nity here, said Rabbi Louis Rieser, Hillel ' s director. Rieser said Hillel rep resents approximately 400 Jewish university students. The First Baptist Church, in addition to holding Sunday services which wel MarkGabrenya Evangelists travel the college circuit to preach on street corners and college greens to any and all who will listen. come Baptist students, also spon- sored a Bible study session every Thursday evening at Galbreath Chapel. New to the Athens community as of April 1977, The Open Door calls itself the Unchurch. Directed by Rever- end Mike Teagarden, this inter- denominational community provides a 24-hour open prayer service. We want to spread the news that Jesus is coming, said Bill Burgess in emphasizing The Open Door ' s pri- mary goal. The Open Door conducts Sunday morning and evening ser- vices, coffeehouses, Bible study ses- sions and musical christian entertain- ment on weekends. Known as the Catholic Student Cen- ter, Christ the King Church is actually a community parish. As a parish, Christ the King conducts adult CCD (religion) classes, prayer group ses- sions and inquiry classes for the 2000 (R ight) Dean Bachelor leads the River of Life Ministry in prayer during its weekly meeting at the Christ Lutheran Church. 76 Religious groups students and 200 families it serves. The inquiry classes concern gaining knowledge of the Catholic faith and are especially open to non-Catholic individuals. Occasionally, the church sponsors square dances, coffee houses and welcomes student partici- pation in its Sunday morning folk mass groups. A supporter of the United Campus Ministry, the Christ Lutheran Church additionally provides student retreats, educational ventures and occasional Sunday brunches for interested col- lege students. The New Life Assembly of God located on South Lancaster Street, sponsors Chi Alpha, a student service organization which conducts Bible studies, weekend retreats and other off-campus religious activities. Like the New Life Assembly, the First United Methodist Church also sponsors a student organization. Kappa Phi, the women ' s Christian sorority, is an active service orgamza tion in the community. Originated at UCLA in 1951, the Campus Crusade for Christ now exists on 500 college campuses in 82 coun- tries. Crusade members spread the Word on a weekly basis with university students, sponsor group discussions in the dorms and offer a number of Christian enrichment classes where the basics of the Christian faith are explained. The Campus Crusade occa- sionally sponsors guest speakers and college life meetings Three Christian fellowships exist on campus. The largest, the River of Life Ministry meets every Friday evening at the Christ Lutheran Church. Organ ized on an inter-denominational basis, the organization promotes sharing, teaching and worshipping of the (Above) Moslems hold worship service in the Jefferson Hall library.

The Chris- tian Student Fellowship, sponsored by the First Christian Church, meets every Sunday morning at the Jeffer son Hall library. Always looking for new members, the fellowships are non-denominational.

The diversity of newspa- per, magazine, radio and television media allows students in all phases of communication an opportunity to gain practical experience in their special- ized field. The OU Post, the free student daily newspaper which circulates to nearly all students and faculty on campus, is probably the best known of these media. Generally regarded as one of the best student dailies in the nation, the Post has spawned such journalists as Rudy Maxa, who uncovered the Wayne Hays scandal in Washington . Post editor Brian Friedman noted that the Post is the medium where you can get the most complete cover- age on the university. He added that the paper fulfills the proverbial watch- dog role. We ' re the only medium in town able to comment critically on important issues in the university. Since last year, the Post has faced competition from the Athens A News (the A is for Alternative). Focus- ing on controversial subjects like Ath- ens landlords and university invest- ments in South Africa, the Athens A News has caught the fancy of many students. The paper also features arti- cles on happenings in the local drug and music scenes. Many publications also exist for spe- cial interest groups on campus. Blacks have established a monthly Afro-American newspaper, while inter- national students have founded a sim- ilar publication to suit their needs. Many dormitories publish newspapers for their residents, and most colleges within the university have newsletters with articles of interest to students and faculty members in that field. Another publication, which was pre- pared by the Society of Professional Post reporter arrives at spot news scene shortly after firemen have extinguished the flames. Campus media 81 Journalists, is College Green, an informational newsletter which will be distributed to incoming freshmen. Even the university itself produces publications. The most notable of these is Outlook, a bi-weekly tabloid which gives an overview of current university events and issues. Ohio University also offers several student magazines. Athens Magazine is produced quarterly by students in the lournalism school. It features arti- cles of interest to both students and members of the Athens community, and its circulation of approximately 2500 is split fairly evenly between these two groups. Sphere Magazine, an annual publi- cation, serves the literary interests of the university. It features poetry and short stories written by students. Wide Angle is a quarterly magazine pro- duced by the Athens International Film Festival. It stresses film culture and interviews with noted filmmakers. If this array of print media seems impressive, it certainly does not over- shadow the broadcast media on cam- pus. Students in the fields of radio and television also find ample opportunity to practice their skills. WOUB, located in the Radio-Televi- sion building, is operated by a mixture of professional people and student trainees. WOUB-TV offers a wide range of public affairs programming such as Almanac and Lock, Stock and The production people at the Post are the last ones to work 82 Campus media Joe Patronite n the paper before it goes to press.

WOUB-AM has a format of news and information during the day, with progressive rock music featured at night. WOUBFM offers a format of country music and news. ACRN, the All Campus Radio Net- work, is also housed in the Radio-Tele- vision Building. It is an entirely stu- dent-run station featuring a prog- ressive rock format. It reaches most students on campus and is also piped into cafeterias during mealtimes. ACRN is also known for shows such as Sports Call and Outlet, where students can phone in their opinions on various sub|ects. Several greens and dormitories have their own radio stations. While not equipped as well as WOUB or ACRN, these stations nonetheless pro- vide valuable experience for budding announcers. Last but not least among the cam- pus media is Spectrum GREEN. While less publicized and less known than many of the other campus media, the yearbook is the only publication which attempts to tie together all of the year ' s events in a single package. Under the direction of Editor Mike Sobczyk, this year ' s staff fought tight deadlines and student apathy toward the yearbook in order to produce a publication which attempts to capture a year ' s memories. So if you ' re a journalism or radio- television major, there are ample out- lets for your talents. And if you prefer to just sit back and read or listen, there are a variety of alternatives to suit every taste and interest. Campus media 85 . . . the paper fulfills the proverbial watchdog role.

Campus media 87 Special Report Labor Pains Contracted AFSCME Strikes for Increased Health and Welfare Benefits By Margaret Grande Ohio University ' s 800 non-academic employees went on strike Thursday, March 2, after talks on a new three-year contract broke down between the union and the university. By 12:01 a.m., Thursday, picket lines were set up at 11 campus locations. The biggest dispute centered around local 1699 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees ' (AFSCME) request for increased health and welfare benefits in the optical, dental and hearing areas. In addition, AFSCME wanted the university to begin direct pay- ments to the union for health benefits. The university ques- tioned the legality of contributing state money to a union fund. The union also wanted to shift differential pay for its employees. According to a union spokesman, base pay As strikers huddle around the College Gate, a familiar figure casually strolls by. summ 1STRICT COUNCIL 78 XflL - ON Slit FOR DECENCY scales are presently set by the Ohio State Legislature, but the university is allowed flexibility in adjusting the pay scales in certain areas. As a result of the strike by maintenance, clerical, security and food service employees, the university was forced to close down its five cafeterias. The 6000 dormitory residents who held meal tickets were given daily refund checks; the amount determined by the meal plan they held. Those stu- dents with a 14 meal-a-week plan were allotted checks amounting to $3.50, while students possessing a 20 meal-a- week plan received $3.95. Many students, rather than patronize uptown restaurant establishments, chose instead to cook in their dormitories. Crawford Hall began selling food during meal hours. Hot- dogs, chili and donuts quickly became sale items while cook- ies, drinks and peanut butter sandwiches were given away free. The Student Senate passed a motion on Monday, March 6, discouraging student employees from working union mem- ber ' s jobs, in another student reaction to the strike. Student Workers Commission Chairman Steve Rockey urged pas- sage of the resolution on a moral basis. In 1974, Local 1699 went on strike in favor of student employees who were seek- ing minimum wage. The strike lasted only 14 days and ended on March 15, when union members ratified a new three-year contract. The agreement, according to Personnel Director, Marlin Bark- lage, clearly represents compromise and accommodation by both the university and the union. Terms of the agreement included an increased health benefit and life insurance package and resolution of ques- tions on weekend assignments for housekeepers, payment of shift differentials and procedures for determining condi- tions of work for a clerical unit.

The shortage of coal became more and more of a problem to the sports program as heat and light became more and more precious. As a result some sports had to be postponed until the energy situation was under control. Basketball was able to finish its season winter quarter, but the volleyball games had to be moved back until spring quarter. Despite this problem, Richard Woolison, director of intramural sports, said there were no other major prob- lems in store for the spring activities. Participation was up again in most sports. Each year, over 14,000 are involved in intramurals, more than the total number of students on campus. This is explained by the fact that many students compete in several sports. Fall quarter 1977 started earlier th?n usual and bene- fited the intramural football teams greatly because the weather stayed warmer longer. The better weather also enabled the teams to play a longer season. This is the second year that the Intramural Department has helped direct the Club Sports Program at OU, provid- ing administrative offices and overseeing schedules. The Intramural Department helped arrange for the Mid-Ameri- can Conference Rugby Championships held at OU on April 22-23. There were eight male teams and four female teams competing. The culminating event of the year was the Ohio Univer- sity Intramural Stroh ' s Superstar competition. This event is held annually, sponsored by Kerr Distributor, which awards prizes and handles all the advertising. The compe- tition was open to all students on campus and ran for a week. No participant was eliminated as each worked to accumulate points. At the end of the week one male and one female superstar was chosen. Jeff Kompa Here, catch.

Cos- mopolitan says it will create a new sexier you. Some people will tell you that it keeps you in shape while others say it gets you high. And then there are those who say it is just plain fun. What is it all about? Jogging. For many years doctors and health fanatics have been praising the benefits of daily or weekly jogs. But whatever the benefits of jogging, the reasons are as diversified as the people and the places involved. After you get really used to running, you feel a kind of high from the exercise, freshman Ed Dale said. I marked off my own eight-mile course down by the Hocking River. When I need to unwind after a long day, that ' s where you find me. For sophomore Maureen Brannan, running is the best way to keep in shape. I run three times a week along the bicycle path when the weather allows, she said. Besides, it ' s an excellent way to meet good-looking male joggers. The best part about jogging, as Faye Murray, records officer in the Financial Aids Office, pointed out is that you don ' t need any expensive equip- ment. Just get a pair of tennis shoes and you ' re ready to go. English professor Raymond Fitch had another hint to offer would-be runners, Once you start, don ' t stop. When I start on my two-mile trek, I sim- ply don ' t stop running until I ' m completely done. If you do, you feel how tired you are and your motiva- tion disappears. The most popular places to jog in Athens are along the Hocking or the bicycle path. But joggers may be seen along the sidewalks of Richland Ave- nue of Court Street as well. It would seem that wherever the ground is flat, a jogger will make use of it. Any attire, any stretch of ground and any time is suitable when the jogging urge hits. 92 Jogging The scene is a clear, cool autumn day in Athens . . . Or maybe one of those rare spring days, the early April kind, when the air is still clean from the winter, but full of sun and fat clouds. What could be a better way to spend an afternoon like that than to be gliding in fifth gear along the bike path, or somewhere on the road to Strouds, or maybe any- where on the campus, just wander- ing. This passion for the pedals, or biking fever, usually strikes twice during the school year — early fall and late spring, and it ' s one of the Biking Athens U.S.A.

Housing Options Present Variety Of Lifestyle s By Jackie Campbell Photos by Mary Schroeder Both on and off-campus housing have their advantages and disadvan- tages. However, an increase in enroll ment resulted in extensive changes in the dorm system, while off-campus living remained much the same. The major dorm changes, which Residence Life Director Joel Rudy called well received and reasonably successful, consisted of moving graduate students from the Old South Green to Crook Hall on the West Green, and filling Old South halls with freshmen. For instance, Mackinnon Hall, experimenting as a co-ed fresh man dorm, started out shaky according to Rudy, but stabilized and continued with success. The West Green was revamped by closing James, Irvine and Wilson, while Sargent turned coed. However, because of an overflow, Wilson had to reopen, causing some overcrowding of Boyd cafeteria at mealtimes. Last spring saw the introduction of the FOCUS system in the cafeterias, providing more selection at meals. Although the computerized system had some problems, most students now express satisfaction with it. Of course the energy crunch affected the dorms, too. According to Rudy, reducing the consumption of energy in the dorms was difficult and was pursued on a voluntary basis. The overall dorm temperature was lowered to 68 degrees, but there was no uni- formity of heat in the rooms. Some corner rooms on New South had to insulate their windows because room temperatures there dropped into the 30 degree range. Johnson Hall Residents socialize as they wash up on a Saturday morning. In addition the new calendar made the students and Residence Life staff feel like they were starting the year over, after the extended break, said Rudy. However, Rudy claims the break did allow for a high degree of frustration to dissipate, and made the winter quarter more tolerable and less depressing than last year for students. Nearly everyone agrees that each green has its own personality. The East Green maintained its traditional, scholarly and neighborly air, while two distinct personalities sprung up on the South Green. The Old South became almost a freshman college, while New South retained its aura of privacy 96 Housing Below) Parri Strickland studies in her dorm room. and co-ed upperclass status, even though it still is known as the party- ng green. Jocks and rowdies have jsually resided on the West Green, but the changes there shook them up. The oopulation has been reduced and now that green has quieted down. Athens ' selection of off-campus housing offers something to suit any lifestyle. There are a wide variety of apartment complexes such as Lake- view, Carriage Hill, Mill Street Apart- ments and the Athens Apartments. There are also privately-run apart- ments like those on Court Street. The houses and apartments offer more freedom than the dorms, some- Housing 97 times with lower costs, more space, better entertainment possibilities and more room for partying. What ' s more, with outside housing you can make more noise, sometimes even find more quiet and in some cases benefit from free parking. Overall, outside housing offers an opportunity to be more individualistic with your living environment. On the other hand of course, off- campus housing has its disadvan- tages, especially in view of the energy problem. The rising costs of utilities, made some house-dwellers pale at the sight of a January gas bill. In some cases, problems of high rent for run- down residences, uncooperative land- lords, houses with severe structural problems, roaches, unshoveled snow, the high cost of food and the dilemma 98 Housing of locating furniture and utensils nec- essary to keep your household run- ning efficiently, makes one wonder if iving on your own is worth all the nassles.

Housing 99 Sophomore Jinx Student Senate Finds Going Rough During Second Year Of Operation By Kathy Reiley c t Patty Foster During a marathon student senate meeting which included impeachment motions against vice-president, Alvin Ewing, Seth Aronson sneaks away to get some coffee. After undergoing some grow- ing pains last year, the newly elected student senate has tried to create a new image by reorganizing and establishing better communications with the students and administrators. This year, Communications Director Betty Nagorney said, We ' re more service oriented. This point was proven by Steve Rockey, Student Workers Com- missioner, who organized student workers to protest for a minimum wage of $2.65, and by John Elliott ' s work to have OU withdraw invest- ments in South Africa. The senale, as a whole, passed a resolution asking the university to divest all its interests in South Africa. The Board of Trustees listened and voted 4 3 in favor of divestment. In an attempt to organize the struc- ture of the senate two new commis- sions were formed. The Communica- tions Commission was created to open information channels between the stu- dents, the administration and the sen- ate. The commission began publica- tion of a newsletter, The Student Voice, and created a Speaker ' s Bureau to fulfill those communication needs. 100 Student senate PatTy Foster President Bill Sell leads a student demonstration in support of the non-academic workers in their strike effort. Tom Powell The second new commission was the International Affairs Commission. It was formed to bring representation of the foreign students to the senate. This commission began publication of ■' International Forum, a newsletter on foreign student organizations, activities and issues. Besides reorganizing, the senate also tried to provide helpful service to students. The Outside Housing Com- mission, headed by Mike Holmes, compiled a handbook on outside housing and, in February, helped organize a housing seminar dealing with tenant and landlord rights. The Academic Commission, under Rich Slavin ' s direction, organized aca- demic counseling sessions and the book exchange. John Elliott and the Minority and Women ' s Affairs Commission put together a week-long Discrimination Seminar featuring a variety of speak ers and activities designed to create more student awareness of discrimi- nation. This past year the student senate also tried to protect student interests. The Federal and State Government Commission worked on the formation of a state student lobby. The Ohio Stu- dent Association (OSA) consists of presidents from each student govern- ment from the 1 2 state schools. The lobby campaigns for more state funds for education, tuition freezes and other student interests. The OU sen- ate supports OSA because it would provide a much needed voice for stu- dent concerns in the State House. The re-examination of its functions and duties had made the 1977s sen- ate more issue oriented. However, the senate still has many internal prob- lems as illustrated by the numerous motions for impeachment during Feb- ruary. But the senate showed it is working to solve those problems. The motions to impeach Judi Jones was never seconded and the vote to impeach Alvin Ewing was defeated, as well as the motion to impeach John Elliott.

Beginning on Sunday with a prayer meeting and social hour in Crook Hall, the week brought black artists to campus, reflected campus concern with the plight of blacks in Patty Foster At a dance which benefited the sickle cell anemia fund, black students danced to the tunes of contemporary musicians. South Africa and encouraged unity among the Afro-American students at OU. Although the turn-out for many of the activities scheduled around cam- pus during Black Awareness Week was small, Donald Kinney, president of Bana U|amaa Zinda Zuri, said the sponsors call it a success. Most of the activities were free, with the exception of a poetry recitation given on Friday night bv actors Roscoe Lee Browne and Anthony Zerbe (see pg 104) and a dance and fashion show held in Boyd cafeteria on Saturday night. The proceeds from these two events went to a fund for sickle cell anemia. One of the problems that may have caused the low attendance at some of the performances, according to Kin- ney, was a lack of publicity. Kinney said they relied on fliers a great deal and on word-of-mouth. Kinney added it all goes back to apathy and mid- terms, although the cold weather caused some people to stay home.

Awareness week 103 Broken Words Highlight Poetry Recital Roscoe Lee Browne and Anthony Zerbe By Merope Pavlides Three evenings of poetry readings and recitations highlighted this year ' s Black Awareness Week, as actors Ros- coe Lee Browne and Anthony Zerbe brought life to the words of a host of poets, from e. e. cummings to Lang- ston Hughes and Phyllis Wheatley. On Wednesday and Thursday nights, before an enthusiastic crowd, Browne read and discussed the poetry of many black writers. In rich, magnifi- cent tones, Browne gave the audience some insight into the feelings of the poets, reading each selection as he imagined the author to have written it. We are the lives grown out of the lives gone before, Browne said, read- ing no poem without giving an analy- sis of its origins and meanings. All poets write about the universals, he said. ... Beauty, love and freedom . . • they write about everything. Through a magnificent understand- ing of the poetry and of acting, Browne became everyone from a slave in the old south to an old man in Sow- ato, realizing that he would not see freedom in his lifetime. When he recited the poetry of Phyllis Wheatley, a black woman who was brought from Africa as a child to be a slave in the south, he told the audience to mak e yourselves six. He told the audience to think; to try and imagine being torn from all that was familiar, from home, friends and family, and you are only six years old. To imagine being shackled around the neck and being put on a boat where all you see is water for- ever, and you are only six years old. Black poetry has the unstoppable, insistent beat of the presence of the absence of freedom — nothing aches and grows like the absence of free- dom, Browne said, adding that pain is what makes much poetry what it is. We must get sick enough to get over it, he said. On Friday night Browne and fellow actor Anthony Zerbe performed Behind the Broken Words, a cele- bration of language that they had cre- ated by collecting the works of various poets. Going from the amusing to the lyrical to the moving and back again, Browne and Zerbe brought to OU a glimpse of liveliness of poetry that everyone too often ignores. Roscoe Lee Browne attentively listens to fellow actor Anthony Zerbe during poetry recitation at Memorial Auditorium. 104 Awareness week ?1 ' - u . % • iL ' « k  5 • 4 k Home Away From Home International Students Adjust To American College Life And Culture By Merope Pavlides One would not imagine Southeast- ern Ohio to be an area highly popu- lated with visitors from other nations. A small rural town like Athens usually seems to have a culture well entrenched in an ail-American WASP lifestyle. Yet OU has the good fortune of having a blend of cultures — every- thing from home-grown Appalachian to Arabic and Japanese. With an esti- mated student body of between 14.000 and 15,000, OU has an inter- national population of 800. The trend toward an increasing number of international students at OU began in the 1950s when the school assisted Nigeria in developing a program of national education. Not only did OU faculty members go to Nigeria to teach, but many Nigerian students came to OU to study educa- tion. The university set up a sister pro- gram in South Vietnam and one in Malaysia, bringing students from other parts of the world to Athens. Now the only program left is that in Malaysia. But the international popu- lation continues to grow, largely because of the intensive English pro- gram offered for foreign students One of the first people an interna- tional student coming to OU is likely to meet is Shirley D ' Auria, the interna- tional student adviser. She concerns herself not only with the academic ini- tiation and progress of the interna- tional students, but also with their social and cultural contacts. According to D ' Auria, many of the international students are here at OU on scholarships from their govern- ment, home university or the corpora- tions that employ them. Many of the developing countries have increased resources to spend on education, but lack the facilities to train their people. So most of the students are here to get an education, and then to return to their country to utilize their training. Unlike their American counterparts, almost all of the international students come to OU with a definite goal in mind. Their scholarships may outline their maior and exactly how far they will continue their education. This is especially true of those students who are privately sponsored, D ' Auria said. Sometimes this is tragic, said D ' Auria. A country will need engi- neers, so it offers scholarships in engineering. A student will know that this is the only way he will be able to study here, so he studies engineering.

He may get through, but there are those few who find that they have no innate capacity for engineering, and they can ' t change. Most of them stick it out or flunk, she said. Besides having to break through the language barrier, D ' Auria said most of the international students coming to Athens go through culture shock. She said they often go through a phase of believing that everything in America is beautiful to a low of not being able to find anything they want here. Hopefully they ' ll realize the good and the bad in both their own culture and the American, D ' Auria said. Often, however, international stu- dents have great difficulty getting involved with campus activities and American students. Most of the organ- izations are not oriented to include international students among their members, and no international stu- dents are involved in fraternities or sororities. However, there are a number of eth- nic groups on campus to which many of the international students belong, namely the Latin American Studies, African Studies and Southeast Asia Studies groups; all of which come under the umbrella of the Interna- tional Student Association. But these are limiting as they encourage the stu- dents to keep to themselves. The hardest thing is making friends across the cultures, D ' Auria said. There are those unique Americans who get involved with international students, and those adventurous international students who get into American activities, but they are the exceptional people. Usually they, (International students) get stuck in communities with their own ethnic group. D ' Auria said any problems between the international students and the American students is just a matter of a cross-cultural communications breakdown, which could be cor- rected through teaching-learning situ- ations. International students 107 Sugar Creek Reflects Appalachia Life Photography and Text By Thomas B. Szalay When I came to Ohio University in September, 1977, I did not realize I had come to Appalachia. I had always believed Appalachia was restricted to the mountains and ' them hillbillies ' of Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and the Carolines. I did not associate the hills surrounding Athens as being the mountains of Appalachia. I was wrong. The mountains of Appalachia really do exist here. They have grown old and lost their physical majestic- ness, but they carry a name and a tra dition; a proud heritage that is charac tenzed by the people who have chosen to live within its dynasty I speak mostly of the small commu nities when I speak of Appalachian people. They are often the mining towns lined with company houses that have weathered time, and the desti tuted families that have lived in them. One such town is Sugar Creek, located five miles outside Athens on the road to Amesville. It is quite easy to drive through Sugar Creek and not realize it. There are no town buildings, stop lights or stop signs. Sugar Creek is old company shan- ties, rusted mobile homes, isolated cars, water pumps and outhouses. Two small groceries, two little bars, a gas station and a hardware equipment dealer comprise the business commu- nity. The town has been dying ever since the four Sunday Creek Coal mines closed. As I photographed Sugar Creek, I wondered what held it together and how it was going to sur vive. I then discovered an answer at a local tavern when a patron told me, . . . ain ' t much of Sugar Creek left except for its history, it ' s |ust a mining town. ' ' Mining towns are usually noted for their independence and ruggedness and Sugar Creek was quite a bit wild er A light snow and bitter cold does not hinder the hardy spirit of ' Pete ' Leroy McCune and his daughter Dorren. when the mines were worked in the early 1900s. A maiority of the miners were immigrants from Hungary and Italy and they had some social pat- terns established. In the neighbor- hood called Hunky Town, entertain- ment varied from drunken brawls to drinking the blood from a slaughtered sow. During prohibition, everyone car- ried a gun and bootlegging was com- mon along the creek. Most residents worked in the mines. They lived in company ' houses and existed in an impoverished state. But the mines started to close between 1922 and 1934 The population declined and work was sought else- where. Today, Sugar Creek is about half its original size, a lot quieter and more peaceful compared to earlier generations. The rural families are often large 108 Sugar Creek w CHEW UML POUCH TOBACCO filfA| YOURSELF TO THE BEST Ready to play, the Rutter boys scamper down from the porch roof where they were shoveling the snow.

A few adventurers may |oin the Army or the Navy, move to the city and try differ- ent life styles, but eventually they return home to the Appalachian coun- try where they were raised. Even the Poston Methodist Church, named after the president of the Sunday Creek Coal Company, has a congrega- tion several generations old. They do not represent a very large span of Sugar Creek residents, perhaps a handful of families, but from grandma to grandchild, the pews are filled. From the Faithful Followers, the Young Saints, the Happy Helpers to the Sun- beams, even Sunday school is arranged for all to attend. For the older, retired generation, life is very much a struggle. I met a spir- ited Irish woman named Ethal Fin- nergy, 80, who has lived in Sugar Creek for the last 28 years. Her only income is a social security check that vanes from $100 to $110 a month. Her January heating oil bill was $80, her rent was $35. Her favorite grand- son comes over regularly, often to bring bread and break the ice on the walkways, but otherwise she is alone in an old dilapidated company house. Souvenirs, pictures and religious ornaments clutter the room and hide the scars of age etching her walls. Her three cats and three dogs, plus some 60 grandchildren and great-grandchil- dren offer thought, but not much com- panionship. It is not difficult to under- stand her complaint, people don ' t care about old people anymore. Yet, buried within her small round face, her wavy white hair, her rose colored cheeks and stubborn eyes is a deter- mined expression common to Appala- chian heritage, an unyielding strength to live. I had discovered Appalachia. Sugar Creek is not far from the pro tective environment of a university town. When I asked an older, native Athener how he would describe Sugar Creek, he replied, ... they live a life of their own. They are a coal mining town, independent, you can ' t take that away from them. With an interesting mining history. Sugar Creek has quieted down. Sugar Creek 113 T . .

On the political scene, there was scandal and there was progress. Bert Lance and Governor Marvin Mandel saw their careers come to a shattering end, and John Mitchell and H. R. Haldeman began prison sentences, while in the same time span, Jimmy Carter became the 38th president of the United States and tried to restore the country ' s shattered faith in the government. Unfortunately, 1977 was a year of tragedy, a tragedy that showed its face in many different forms. The spring and summer of the year found New York caught in a web of fear by the brutal killings of The Son of Sam, David Berkowitz. He was eventually caught and found to be a sick product of his time and environment, but the country still shuddered in horror and disgust. On the opposite coast, resi- dents of Los Angeles were trapped in a similar web of fear.

The early part of 1977 saw tragedy strike in Northern Kentucky when nearly 1 50 people were killed in a fire at the Beverly Hills Supper Club. Thousands were affected by the loss. The nation barely had time to recover before it was again plunged into sor- row when a summer flood in Johns- town, Pennsylvania claimed 49 lives and left countless others homeless. Though fewer lives were lost, the grief was |ust as great when the entire bas- ketball team of the University of Evansville in Indiana was killed in a freak air collision. The loss of the 29 players was mourned the nation over. Similarly, another college suffered a loss when an early morning fire in a girls ' dormitory took seven lives at Providence College in Rhode Island. Sportswise, the year was an exciting and memorable one. It began with Oakland ' s victory and Minnesota ' s defeat in the Super Bowl, and took the viewing nation through to Seattle Slew ' s Triple Crown, Reggie Jackson ' s unforgettable three home runs in the final game of the World Series, giving the Yankees the title, and soccer superstar Pele ' s retirement. There were also countless other events, including the Star Wars and Close Encounters phenomena, the Farrah cult, the deaths of Elvis Pres- ley, Bing Crosby and Groucho Marx. January brought the death of Hubert Humphrey, and it brought President Jimmy Carter together with former Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford to share a common loss. The year also marked the rise of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the fall of Joe Namath, the conversion of Hustler king Larry Flynt, the sweep of the Nobel Peace Prizes by six Americans, the Sylvester Stallone fan club, begun by the picture of the year, Rocky, the unbelievable winter of ' 77, the popularity of the television mini- series, in particular, Roots, the first enforcement of the newly reinstated death penalty, by the execution of Gary Gilmore, and the Nixon-Frost interviews. What a year! There will never be another like it, a time when the coun- try was so keenly aware of beginnings and endings. Depending on the indi- vidual viewpoint, there is melancholy and there is joy at the passing of 1977.

And no, he is not a bureau- cratic machine. He is just a man who happens to be the 18th president ot Ohio University. Since coming to Athens in 1975, President Charles J. Ping said his most difficult problems occurred during the winter of 1978, as none of the issues that confronted him had any right answers. The nationwide coal strike, for instance, caused some worries, but Ping said he was confident from the start that we would make it through. The soft-spoken presi- dent added that coal shipments from Miami University helped a great deal. During this same time, Ping came under fire for keeping the university open under some very adverse weather conditions. However, the president defended his decision by stating that 80 per- cent of the student population lives within walking distance of the campus and that his maior concern during those times was with faculty transportation. Another problem that arose late during the winter quarter was a strike by Local 1699, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. This strike lasted well into March and Ping said the university did make some concessions in the negotiations. Ping also said so many individuals volunteered to help the university stay open the day after the strike was called, that some people had to be turned away. In an entirely different vein, Ping expressed confidence in the OU sports program by saying that it had integrity. The former prov- ost of Central Michigan added that the athletic program is strong and balanced overall as is shown by the consistently high finishes in the Reese Cup standings, even though OU hovered around eighth place in the standings this year. The Reese Cu p award, incidentally, is based on the most all-sports wins in the Mid-American Conference. The only change that Ping foresaw con- cerning the sports scene was in replacing Bill Rohr, who unexpect- edly resigned midway through the winter quarter. When asked to comment on the future of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, Ping said he does not believe the college will take control of the entire West Green. He did say, however, that some of the other sciences may be moved to join the college at one central locale. The dormitory debt, of course, is a problem that the president has been constantly working on. Ping said the university did not over- build during the Alden years, but instead, expanded because of pro- jections that showed only six state universities. What ' s more, most of the students attending college at that time were expected to attend either Ohio State or Ohio Univer- sity. Unfortunately, six more state universities have entered the scene since that time and Cleveland State University and Cuyahoga Commu- nity College have especially hurt the OU enrollment. In dealing with the dormitory problem, Ping plans to alter the use of the buildings and will dispose of those buildings no longer needed. The Administrative Annex, for example, has been vacated and is now on the market for sale. President Ping is a man who has organized his administration with a long-run philosophy and not on an ad hoc basis. He hopes to heighten the sense of commu- nity at OU and in his own quiet, determined manner, he may just accomplish this feat. By Mike Sobczyk President Ping 123 Steve Lukacena Dean of Students Carol Harter believes that the orderly Halloween celebration will enhance future university events. All The President ' s Men 124 Administration Greg Smith Director of Residence Life, Joel Rudy, has the overall responsibility for maintaining and improving dormitory conditions. Administration Encouraged By Student Response To New Policies By Dyan Dyttmer Judging by the comments of Carol Harter, James Hartman, Neil Bucklew, and Joel Rudy, the administration of Ohio University is very up about the past school year. I ' ve got to say the student ' s sense of humor has held up amazingly well through this winter weather and coal strike, said Joel Rudy, director of residence life. It was a potentially explosive situation — I give them a hulluva lot of credit. The Residence Life program is responsible for the overall academic, cultural and social climate of resi- dence halls for 6000 students. According to Rudy, the maior thrust of this year ' s program concerned stu- dent and alcohol abuse, while the 1978 ' 79 program will include increased efforts in the freshman halls (direct professor counseling) and University Publications Neil Bucklew, vice president of academics and provost, played a major role in the establishment of a comprehensive academic planning program.

The Vice President and Dean of Stu- dents Office, under Carol Harter and Associate Dean James Hartman, is the major coordinating facility for such diverse programs as student ser vices, student life and residence life. Its two major ongoing activities, according to Harter, are continued financial planning and integration of total academic life. Harter ' s up since Halloween, It marked for me a big change in the life of students, she said, it will effect positively all future activities on cam- pus. Since the university and com- munity of Athens are mutually dependent and isolated, she feels the good relationships promoted by the Halloween celebration are a must. Hartman, who taught a Residence Life training course and a freshman orientation course in the fall and who is involved in the University Retention Committee ( We want to keep people on campus. ), is encouraged by the efforts of various academic depart- ments. They are offering more tutoring, career orientation and are bringing prospective employers to the cam- pus, he said. Neil Bucklew is vice president of academic as well as provost (assistant to President Ping in internal affairs at the university). The provost ' s office has played a major role in the estab- lishment of a comprehensive aca- demic planning program. I ' m encouraged by various devel opments in university planning, Bucklew stated. Beyond this aca- demic re-evaluation, new programs include OU ' s renewed commitment to life-long learning opportunities and ventures in energy research. 126 Administration Lobbyist Raises Interest Rate By Sue Koch Everybody needs a big brother or someone to look out for them. At least they need someone to protect their interests. And that is what Marty Hecht does — protects Ohio Universi- ty ' s interests. Since the early 1960s Hecht has been the OU lobbyist working in Ohio ' s state legislature. His job is to deal with external constituencies on county, state and national levels in representing the university ' s case. As Hecht put it, I lobby in the sense that I try to help get constructive legisla- ture passed. During 1976- ' 77 Hecht ' s time was spent primarily on budgetary bills con- cerned with allocating money to state universities. Although he declined to explain the reasons fully, Hecht pointed out that the allocations did not take the direction he had hoped for. Currently, Hecht ' s main project consists of a pay bill. This bill has passed through the State House of Representatives and grants a pay increase for state judges. Hecht is working with the State Senate to add increases for classified employees, such as non-faculty and non-adminis- trative employees. He indicated, how- ever, that this classification system does not include dining hall and main- tenance workers because they are paid directly from student fees and charges. Hecht said his work often includes taking legislators out for what Presi- dent Jimmy Carter calls three-mar- tini lunches. But he was quick to add that the tabs for these are picked up by the Ohio Fund, a non-profit corpo- ration funded by donations from alumni for the promotion and devel- opment of Ohio University.

It is the age of shuttle diplomacy, of live coverage and in-depth analysis, of Woodward and Bernstein. We have had a decade of war brought into our living rooms, witnessed the downfall of a president, learned how to rap, and have lived our lives vicariously through Monday Night Football, Police Woman and Charli e ' s Angels. It is in this age that OU began its College of Communication. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the college has doubled its enrollment from under 1 000 to approximately 2000 students, and now comprises 14 percent of the university student body, according to its dean, John Wilhelm. The college is comprised of four dif- ferent schools, namely Journalism, Radio-Television, Interpersonal Com- munication and Hearing and Speech Sciences (see page 130). Of the four schools, |oumalism has grown the most and has about 770 undergradu- ates and 40 graduate students. Wil- helm said he thinks the rising enroll- ment of journalism students is par- tially due to the upswing in investiga- tive journalism, and partially due to the success of • ' All the President ' s Men. 128 College of Communication A lot of people are worried about the ability of the Journalism school to handle the increase in enrollment, but I ' m not one of them, Wilhelm said. He added, however, that they have begun to screen incoming stu- dents, by requiring that they take an English proficiency test. But we really don ' t know how to judge them, Wilhelm said, adding that even though a student makes A ' s, he might not be a good |ournalist. Wilhelm did say the school usually places the majority of its graduates in journalism-related fields. The Journalism school offers six sequences of specialization which include newswriting and editing, mag- azine, public relations, advertising, management and radio-television news. If we had to place everybody in newspapers, we ' d be in trouble, Wil- helm said. Although the school is located in Athens, Wilhelm does not feel that the smallness of the town is a hindrance to student newsmen and women. We have an outstanding faculty, he said. We have different kinds of stories from those of a big city, but they are just as important and just as challeng- ing. Wilhelm mentioned the current energy and coal problems in the area as an example. For student interested in forensics and related fields, the school of Inter- personal Communication offers pro- grams in general communication, general speech with certification and organizational communication. This program develops experts in organi- zation, according to Wilhelm, and is very similar to public relations. Stu- dents in this area are prepared for administrative careers in business, education or government. Rick Perry A winning forensics effort requires many hours of research.

Can I hear that sound three times? Vvv . . .Vvvv. . .Vvvv. . . Josh, did I hear a good sound all three times? Yep. You ' re right, I did. So begins a session in speech therapy that clinician Nancy Fowler gives twice a week to a tow-headed five-year old named Josh. A senior in the College of Communication, Nancy is a hearing and speech major. She divides her time between her class schedule and working in the university Speech and Hearing Clinic with Josh, who has a slight articulation problem. Together they spend two after- noons a week trying to correct Josh ' s speech. Nancy and Josh can be observed through a two-way mirror in one of the small therapy rooms in the Lindley Hall clinic. By using pic- tures, cutouts and toys, N ancy encourages Josh to make the sounds that he needs to work on, then asks him to use them in a word, then a phrase, and then use the phrase in response to a ques- tion. Josh, what is this? A glove. Can I hear that good sound in glove three times? Glove. . .glove. . .glove. Josh, what are you going to do? Put a crayon in the glove.

This process encourages Josh to use the sounds in normal conversa- tion, rather than |ust making them in therapy, according to Nancy. •You ' ve got to tie it back in, she said. Anyone can sit around and go Vvvv. When Nancy came to OU four years ago, she wasn ' t sure if she would go into hearing and speech or social work. She had encountered hearing and speech problems before, through a sister who had a hearing impairment which was surgically corrected, and by being a Mother ' s Helper to a family with a child in speech therapy. Upon starting her fall quarter as a fresh- man, Nancy took an introductory course in hearing and speech, and subsequently declared it her maior. Since then she has been pleased with her program of studies, she said. It ' s excellent, she said. You get a lot of personal attention here, and that ' s a big plus. Nancy is one of approximately 185 undergraduate students maionng in hearing and speech. According to Ron Isele, the coordinator of clinical ser- vices, there are also 45 master ' s stu- dents and six doctoral students in the department. All the students will even- tually work in the clinic which services both the university and the surround- ing community. For students, faculty and university employees, the clinic ' s services are free, while those outside the university pay a fee of $35 per quarter for therapy. Payment of fees is usually based on the client ' s ability to pay. We waive many, said Isele. This is a luxury that we have. We don ' t take in much money through the clinic, but we ' re not a great benevolent knight on a white horse, he added. Students begin their experience in the clinic as sophomores, observing other therapists and seeing therapy as a process, according to Isele. This introduction will hopefully let them see whether they want to get out of it (the program), he added. In their lunior year, the students assist a sen- ior or graduate student by transcrib- ing the therapy sessions or by limited participation in the therapy. By the time they are seniors, the clinicians are assigned clients to work with (Below) Josh mouths the words that he has problems with in order to improve his articulation. (Right) End of quarter discussion with Josh ' s mother allows her to learn of son ' s progress. Josh is Nancy ' s first client. He is enrolled in the nursery school at Put- nam, and it was there that he was tested and was found to have an artic- ulation problem. Josh is a bright and willing student and Nancy said that working with him is rewarding. It ' s fun, she said. But she admits that she felt a few pangs of hesitation when she first started to do therapy, instead of simply learning about it in a classroom. In a way it ' s really frightening at first. You wonder ' what if I don ' t like it . . . or what if I can ' t do it, she said. But this is where you can apply what ' s learned . . . you can see it work. At the beginning of the quarter she picked out two sounds that Josh has trouble with to work on, and has charted his progress on them throughout the quarter. Both of us learn, she said. Although Nancy en|oys working with Josh, she said in the future she would like to work with adults, possi- bly with those over 65. There is a need for that, she said, adding that her only complaint with the program at OU was that she would have liked more emphasis to be on adults, but that the majority of clients are children. According to Isele, only 40 percent of the clinic ' s clients are adults. Many of those are university students, who have either articulation or voice prob- lems. Some of the adults they see are those who have had their larynx removed, and must therefore learn to talk without it. There ' s a lot out there that we ' re not getting, though, Isele said. For Nancy, as for many of the pro- gram ' s undergraduates, graduation will mean continuing their education 132 Student therapist at the graduate level. Most therapists who hold only a B.A. and certification are only qualified to work In the public school system, while those with an M.A. have more fields open to them. Grad school is not a must for everybody, Nancy said. But it is for me. Isele too, stated that all students need not go on to further study, although the majority do. We can train our students to be effective ther- apists with a four-year degree, he said. When asked just how hard the maior really is, Nancy shakes her head and laughs. It ' s like anything, she said. It ' s by no means easy. But it ' s not over- whelming — except at times! Prof. Miller watches Josh walk home as he talks with Nancy Fowler.

However, many people are not aware that Arts and Sciences cover a much wider variety of areas than those mentioned. At Ohio University, the College of Arts and Sciences is quite an impor- tant college to all students, regardless of their majors. This is because nearly every college of the University draws upon the College of Arts and Sciences to supplement their own curriculum. Recently the College of Arts and Sci- ences has been the scene of some innovating programs, one of them being the development of a computer 134 College ol Arts and Sciences Getting the proper amount of fluid in the pipette is a delicate task. Greg Smith College of Arts and Sciences 135 ized checksheet that enables stu- dents, faculty and advisers to find out exactly where the student is academi cally. These checksheets provide a concise listing of which credits have been attained, and which are still needed. No other college at Ohio Uni- versity, with the exception of the Col- lege of Education, offers this service. Universities across the nation have sent representatives to OU to study the system in the hopes that the sys- tem can be adapted to the programs at their schools. Another recent development in the College of Arts and Sciences is a pro- gram that makes a minor in Business Administration available to those stu- dents whose maior is in the college. This provides for a more practical course of study and upon graduation helps those who wish to pursue a job in their major. Other recently included curriculums in the College of Arts and Sciences are forensic chemistry, environmental botany, horticulture and geology, as well as a school of computer science which is one of the first in the Mid- west.

This optimistic statement is borne out since the enrollment in the College of Engineering and Technology has more than doubled since 1 975, rising from 41 9 to 882 students. Each of the six major departments within the college — Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial-Technol- ogy and Industrial Systems — has experienced this increase, some expanding by as much as 100 students. However, this growth is not the only change the college has seen. According to Richard Mayer, dean of the college, a few cosmetic changes occurred during 1976-77 when the basement of Clippinger Building was converted into a com- bination laboratory and chemistry physics library. He noted that these were just space changes which give stu- dents better facilities than they have had in the past. Mayer also said communication has improved among Amidst a quagmire of electronic gadgetry, graduate student Don Kuehl, somehow makes sense of it all. 1 38 College o( Engineering and Technology M K . the various departments and colleges associated with engi- neering and technology and that people are now talking across college and departmental lines. He explained this has become extremely important for the department of chemical engineering because now at the university there are ongoing and increased efforts in the coal energy research fields. Robert Savage, professor of chemical engineering, who in 1964 patented a new coal conversion process, expounded on Mayer ' s comment. We ' re going to find that our demand exceeds our supply of oil and gas and we need to find ways to use coal to make up the difference. This process, which consists of heating coal to 1800 degrees, produces an ash with reduced sulfur content that can be burned in power plants. It also produces a synthes- ized gas that can be used as a fuel or a raw material in the manufacture of certain chemicals. In order to work on this process, a 20-foot high research model capable of process- ing 10 pounds of coal an hour, is now being built in the chemical engineering department. Savage indicated that this work is supported by grants from the Ohio Energy Research and Development Agency (ERDA) and is one in a series of studies to be conducted over the next year or two. He said since the research has received recognition world-wide, about a dozen seminars have been planned for early 1978, all of which are spon- sored by the Ohio ERDA and the Ohio Environmental Pro- tection Agency. The third area of Engineering Technology which recently has seen a tremendous development is the avionics department. The Avionics Engineering Center was initiated in 1963 as part of the university ' s department of electrical engi- neering and has since been able to promote air safety through the application of new technology in the areas of aircraft navigation, guidance, control and maintenance. The center uses two Douglas DC 3 planes for flight expe- riments and is currently involved with the OMEGA naviga- tion system — a navigational system which extracts radio signals from space and transforms them into informational sources by use of a micro-processor computer. McFarland, who works closely with students and profes- sionals across the country, said the center is attracting more and more students because aviation is dynamic — it moves from place to place, and students are able to get involved with it, which gives them real-life experience. Avionics student intern, Joe Longworth, attempts to master the use of the instrument landing equipment.

West Green Remedy By Merope Pavlides Photos by Bill Wade and Mark Gabrenya College of Osteopathic Medicine 1 4 1 University Claims State ' s First Osteopathic School At the edge of West Green, next to the Convocation Cen- ter, sits one building that makes up the College of Osteo- pathic Medicine. Remodeled since its days as the Groves- nor Hall dorm and cafeteria, the building now houses Ohio ' s seventh school of medicine, and its first school of osteopathy. Osteopathy, a rapidly growing branch of medicine, involves itself with every aspect of health care, focusing primarily on the recognition and treatment of problems in the musculoskeletal system. The discipline was founded near the end of the Civil War by a physician, Andrew Taylor Still. Still was unhappy with the reliance on bloodletting and amputation and preferred to work with the bones and muscles themselves, mainly through manipulation. This radical change from t raditional medical practices brought about a major and deep split between the two types of medicine, according to Richard Ham, the college ' s associ ate dean of administration. Still was barred from teaching in existing medical schools and in 1892 he founded the first school for training osteopaths. The gap between the two fields of medicine still contin- ues. There has been a great deal of discrimination, said Ham. Doctors of Osteopathy hold D.O. degrees rather than M.D. degrees, and therefore are often looked upon as giving inadequate medical service. Ham, however, said this is not the case. Osteopathic stu- dents undergo the same basic medical training as all medi- cal students, and have added instruction in the principles of manipulative musculoskeletal therapy. D.O. ' s take the same licensing exams as M.D. ' s, Ham said, and can prac- tice the same treatments, from prescribing medication to performing surgery. According to Ham, one of the main differences between the two fields lies in the rate of specialization among M.D. ' s and among osteopaths. While 80 percent of the M.D. ' s nationwide are specialists, 75 percent of the D.O. ' s Hudson Health Center provides a practical training ground for medical students. 142 College ol Osteopathic Medicine Bev Genez holds the distinction of being the only osteopathic student who is a parent. A student at Ohio ' s School of Osteopathic Medicine tries to make a youngster feel comfortable before examination. When real patients aren ' t available, osteopathic students sometimes use each other as test cases. College of Osteopathic Medicine 143 nationwide are involved in family practice. I ' ve seen D.O. ' s work very well on tension headaches, as well as spinal dislocations, ' ' Ham said. I ' ve personally experienced relief from chest pains caused by flu through manipulation, he added. Sometimes you ' ll even find treatment centered around a trauma. This is the school ' s second year of operation and it now has an enrollment of 60 students — 24 in the sophomore class and 36 in the freshman class. Ham said next year the school hopes to admit 48 freshmen, aiming for an enroll- ment of 100 students by 1984. That ' s about where we ' d like to level off, Ham said. The college is very selective and it can well afford to be. Ham said they screen approximately 15,000 applications from prospective students annually, and narrow the list down to 1 50 candidates. They then interview each of these students three times — once by a physician, once by a basic scientist, and once by an administrator. From those interviewed the freshman class is selected. Eighty percent of the student body is required to be from Ohio, as the pur- pose behind the program is to bring better family medical care to the state, especially to those areas that lack suffi- cient medical facilities. A really good out-of-state student can sign a contract to practice in Ohio, Ham said, but added that only two or three such students are admitted to each class. Once the students are admitted into the program, they will virtually spend the next four years living, breathing, and studying osteopathy. It ' s a tremendous strain, both physically and emotionally, Ham said. Bev Genez is one member of the freshman class who would concur with Ham ' s opinion. Far from typical of the college ' s student body, Genez is 32, holds a doctorate in Romance Languages from Duke University, and has a hus- band and two children living in Dayton. She spends her weeks in Athens attending classes and labs, and then com- mutes home to her family on the weekends. When asked why she decided to go into medicine, Genez laughs and reels off all the cliche answers about how noble the profession is and adds that it is more useful than teaching French. She said the reason for choosing osteopathy is that she wants to go into family practice and can do much more as a D.O. The field is mushrooming incredibly, she said. Lots of family practitioners are needed in rural areas. Although Genez will be licensed to prescribe and admin- ister medications, she said she is more interested in alter- native means of treatment. There will be times when I ' ll have to use chemother- apy, she said. But personally, I want to find out a lot more about acupuncture — even if I have to go to Califor- nia and find a little old Chinese gentleman to teach me. Genez mentioned other methods of treatment that interest her, including hypnosis. I will not limit myself, she said. Although the college encourages the enrollment of mar- ried women, Genez is currently the only student who has children. I have a distinct advantage over people who have never been married or have never had to take care of sick chil- dren, she said. But she admits that spending the week in Athens and the weekends in Dayton does put a strain on both her and her family. She said she must put in extra hours studying during the week so that she can have her weekends free to spend with her family. Instructions in the principles of manipulative musculoskeletal therapy are an integral part of an osteopath ' s training. 1 44 College of Osteopathic Medicine Simulated doctor-patient role playing gives a student a chance to diagnose Dr. Miller ' s health problem. The limited enrollment of the school allows for more interaction between instructors and students. Dean Frank Myers illustrates a point of interest on a volunteer patient. College of Osteopathic Medicine 1 45 The College ol Business Administration Getting Down To Business By Carole Oberg Career appeal is the theme of the College of Business Administration, according to Dean Gerald Silver. In the last year-and-a-half, the college ' s enrollment has increased 25 percent and the number of women enrolled has doubled, while the number of black students in business now totals 10 percent. Four new maiors are being contemplated and new pro- grams to be offered by the college are now in the planning stages. These new areas of study are concerned with Inter- national Business, Production Management, Banking and Insurance. In the social realm, a reunion for all alumni who attended the college from its inception through 1977 was held in April. Silver said the purpose of the reunion was to better alumni relations, since their support has helped to imple ment new programs. In addition. Silver said 1977 was the first year that graduation was held in a foreign country, as graduates from the Mara Institute of Technology in Malaysia were awarded Bachelor of Business Administration degrees in a ceremony attended by OU ' s President Charles Ping. 146 College of Business Administration Marketing Students Exhibit Drive In Nova Project By Carole Oberg Novability was the slogan devised by Ohio University students ■n their effort to promote the sale of the Chevrolet Nova to the youth of Ohio in 1977.

Twenty American colleges entered the contest, and OU topped them all to win the first place prize of $5000. The days and nights of hard work for the students in the Independent Marketing Research class paid off in the formulation of an advertising pitch which included reliability, roominess and economy i n its sales promotion. The primary goal of the campaign was to develop a marketing and advertis- ing program and those students who participated in the competition an award-winning marketing campaign topped twenty other colleges in the received college credit and experi- ence in working with actual market- ing problems. The secret to OU ' s success may have been the manner in which the group presented its package. Per- sonal copies of the work package were given to each of the six judges and each package contained a radio ad, a color ad for television, a spiral notebook on the research, some computer printouts of the statistics and three bound books with color inserts. Nova project 147 The College of Fine Arts College Attempts to P k Broaden Cultural Appeals r By Kathy Reiley The tight university budget of the past year has made the expansion of physical facilities virtually impossible for most of the colleges and the Col- lege of Fine Arts was no exception. Despite this obstacle, however, the college continued to grow by concen- trating on curriculum improvements. For instance, in recognition of wide range student interest in the fine arts, the college has opened more courses to non-majors. This expansion pres- ents ma|ors and non-maiors with the opportunity to explore areas of inter est and to cultivate their talents. I Pat Tehan Regina Howard sketches a drawing on a lithography stone. 1 48 College ol Fine Arts Artist uses palette knife to obtain the impasto effect. College of Fine Arts 149 Likewise, the school of dance, always popular with non-majors, has increased course offerings to meet student requests In addition, studio art workshops which were offered solely to sophomores as prerequisites to other art courses were opened to include freshmen. This change pro- vided freshmen with a much wider choice of art courses. The school of photography will also attempt to broaden its course offer- ings. In particular, the photo-journal ism course has been considered for changes. This course may be expanded to a photo-communication course and will cover technical aspects of photography as well as spe- cific techniques necessary to photo- lournalists. Another switch has the two-year professional training program for stu- dents in the school of theatre increased to a three-year program, while the undergraduate program has been broadened to be more compre hensive. One final change had the curricu- lum in both the film department and in the school of music place most of its emphasis on history and criticism. An overall goal of the college for both the past year and the future, is to create a conscious center for the fine arts. Extending courses offered to both ma|ors and non majors is the College of Fine Arts ' first step toward that ideal. Success looms ahead for Kathy Halpin.

We try to have serv- ice agencies primarily concerned with instructional pro- grams, said Assistant Dean Fred Dressel. For example, the Child Day Care Center provides services for the commu- nity and the university. Currently, the most well-funded project in the college is the Midwest Teacher Corps, which directs itself toward improving teacher education. The program is federally funded with $261,500 allocated for its services. According to Dressel, There are different cycles of emphasis. The emphasis now is on service education. This project was developed in Meigs County and is currently associated with the Franklin School District. Four interns work within the pro- gram, along with the teachers of the district, to improve reading instruction. Courses are also taken by both teachers and interns and after completion of the program, the interns are granted a master ' s degree in reading supervision. Despite its success in these areas, however, the college is still attempting to comply with the Teacher Education Rede- sign Program. The state requires prospective teachers to complete 300 hours of clinical and field based studies before student teaching. These hour requirements are filled throughout the first three years of schooling, while the last year is devoted to student teaching. The College of Education incorporates five distinct schools into its disciplines. One such school, that of Curricu- lum and Instruction, provides facilities for the Center of Human Development. The center offers such services as the Speech and Hearing Center and the Media Center — a uni- que feature of the college. This center provides readily avail- able equipment to faculty pre-service and in-service teach- ers, and because of this has become more of a teaching site than an equipment laboratory. The school of Home Economics, another faction of the College of Education, operates Jennings House — a home management house that becomes home each quarter for five or six students. The students, who live there for a five- week period, are responsible during that time for total oper- ation of the house. This includes all phases of home man- agement, such as buying food, cleaning and general mainte- nance. In the school of Physical Education and Recreation, stu- dents receive clinical experience in their field by accepting responsibility for the operation of such recreational facilities as Grover Center, Bird Arena and the natatonum. In addition to running the facilities, the students organize the intramu- ral and club sports. The school of Applied Behavioral Sciences and Educa- tional Leadership devotes itself to students pursuing careers in higher education, teaching and education administration. The College of Education has considerably broadened its students ' range of studies, but more importantly, it has also widened its own scope through its ability to coordinate stu- dent and community services. Joe Patronite Chris Dawson, a graduate student in the sports adminis- tration program, calls a foul. College of Education 1 55 A Practical Experience Student Teacher Applies Education Theories To Classroom Situation By John Micklos Photos by Rick Perry In a field where practical experience is a necessity, student teaching allows education students at Ohio University a chance to practice their skills. In addition to being useful, student teaching is a prerequisite for gradua- tion, according to Dean Samuel Gold- man of the College of Education. You can ' t be certified without one quarter of student teaching, he said. A typical student teacher is Debbie Poling, who spent winter quarter teaching a second grade class at East Elementary School in Athens. Poling said that it was hard to ad|ust at the beginning of the quarter when weather forced schools to close often. However, she added that things became much easier as time prog- ressed. Poling said that student teaching was great practical experience since she got to teach several different sub- lets. Student teaching allows you to actually do everything you ' ve learned in the past three years. I concentrated on reading, writing, math and a social studies unit I made, she said. However, the children were the best part of teaching, according to Poling. The kids were wonderful. They ' re what made it all worthwhile. According to John Evans, director of the student teaching program, Establishing close rapport with the students is a necessity for good teaching. 156 Student teacher Student leaps at the chance to answer a question. Student teacher 1 57 of the student teaching program, approximately 630 students go through the process each year He noted that about half of the students are placed in schools in the Athens area, while the rest are placed in Bel- mont County, Chillicothe, Lancaster, Portsmouth, Zanesville and greater Cleveland. The philosophy of the student teaching program is to allow students to practice all phases of teaching for a full quarter during their junior or sen- ior year. Student teachers are respon- sible for preparing comprehensive les- son plans, and teachers at the elemen- tary level are encouraged to take full responsibility of a class for at least two weeks. Teachers in secondary schools are required to teach at least three classes for at least half of the quarter. Student teachers have weekly con- ferences with their supervising teacher and weekly seminars with other students. In this way, they are able to get a perspective of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as sharing problems and experiences. Evaluations for the quarter are based on four maior areas. Personal qualities such as appearance and enthusiasm are |udged, and profes- sional traits such as preparation and planning are also graded. The degree of rapport with students and adminis- trators determines the grade for human relations, while presentation accounts for an evaluation of commu- nication skills. Evans noted that the inclement weather this winter affected some stu- dents. Whenever schools aren ' t open, it ' s a problem, he said, adding that strong students usually can cope with the situation better than weaker ones. Evans said that since student teach ers are evaluated on competence rather than time spent in the class- room, no students were forced to make up time missed. However, he added that some students did volun teer for extra time in the classroom to further practice their skills. (Right) Students eagerly participate in classroom discussion. Maintaining enthusiasm throughout an entire day of classes is sometimes difficult to do as this youngster discovers.

Instead, the administrators quietly congratulate themselves. The students enrolled In the college are primarily those who have not decided on a major. Dean Don Flour noy said the basic function of the col- lege is to counsel students and to design a specific liberal arts curricu- lum for them. In addition, a relatively new pro- gram in the college is called the Uni versify Experience and helps fresh- men adjust to college life, faculty and classes. Time management is one of the primary goals of this program. During the summer months, the University College is also responsible for planning and conducting pre-col- lege sessions and orientation for freshmen and transfer students. TMWJKAOMl - -0MM •ram sro w diwBrtiSwJ? Rearranging a class schedule involves little time if done properly. Andy Adler Overall, however, the college serves a much larger purpose than this. There are several two-year pro- grams in technology, real estate and nursing that are available on the main campus and at the branch campuses. Criminal |ustice, applied science and business and Army ROTC programs are also offered. Two programs that are expanding rapidly, according to Flournoy, are the 2 + 2 Program and the degree curricu- lum for students who cannot attend regular classes. The first encompas ses graduates from two-year junior colleges and helps them earn a bacca- laureate degree in two more years, while the latter program is designed specifically for shut-ins. Inmates at penitentiaries make up the majority of students in this program. Last spring associate degrees were presented to six students at Lucasville in a formal commencement exercise. A final responsibility for the Univer- sity College is the organization of the University Professor classes. This select group of professors are nomi- nated by students and then released from their regular teaching duties for approximately six months. During this period they are permitted to design and teach courses that interest them personally. Overall, the University College per- forms a valuable service to students who, for one reason or another, are not prepared to enter a regular four- year program. And through its Univer sity Professor program, the college offers interesting and diverse courses to students. 160 University College Honors College College Deserves Honorable Mention By Sue Koch At Ohio University, the Honors Tuto- rial College is modeled after the tuto- rial systems used at Oxford and Cam- bridge Universities. We keep saying it is unique — hoping that someone, somewhere will say, ' Oh no, it ' s not, ' said Director Margaret Cohn. The program is open to highly quali- fied and motivated students and offers them an opportunity to work on a one-to-one basis with instructors. For me, the big thing is the tutorial, said fourth-year student, Randy Grossman. I work independently with the professors at my own pace. I get phenomenally greater access to pro- fessors in the department. What ' s more, only OU offers a degree-grant- ing program which incorporates all of the essential features of the tutorial system. During her first year as director of the college, Cohn has seen several changes take place. Foremost in her opinion, is the addition of two new programs to an already large curricu- lum. An engineering-physics program is particularly new because it spans two areas rather than just one. Thea- ter, the other program added, hasn ' t admitted any students yet since a committee is still organizing the pro- gram. Plans are also being completed to open the tutorial dorm (Hoover House) to all students instead of only to those enrolled in the Honors Col- lege. It is not a quiet dorm, stresses Cohn. It ' s simply an intensive study Doug Gilchrist Ralph Jameson, Beth Christy, Alison Cohn, Julie Sespaniak and Lolly McDonald discover that even studying can be a social experience. dorm where all residents have the same objective. Grade point aver- ages will not be taken into considera- tion when students request residence in Hoover. There are too many stu- dents fighting to maintain a 2.0 who need quiet, said Cohn. Nancy Ellis, a student in the college during fall quar- ter, said the majority of Honors Tuto- rial College students approve of this change. Their work is intensive and takes up a lot of time, she added. It will be good to have exposure to other students in other colleges. The Honors program began in 1973 and since that time has graduated 35 students. One of the most outstanding graduates was Mike Konrad, who received his doctorate in mathematics at the end of fall quarter in 1 977. Kon- rad completed his tutorial in two years — something that normally takes four years to do. He then finished his the- sis in another two years. Standards for admission to the Hon- ors College are high. Students must have SAT scores above 1200 or ACT scores above 29. High school records are also checked to give background information on each student. It is pre- ferred that they rank in the top 10 per- cent of their graduating class and show considerable knowledge of the field in which they wish to major.

Finishing fifth in the MidAmerican Conference, the Bobcats posted a record of 22-26; the worst Ohio ledger in 45 years. The death knell for the team ' s medi- ocre season sounded on Saturday, May 7, when the ' Cats dropped a home doubleheader to Kent State Uni- versity. The Golden Flashes were then in last place and the twin loss virt ually knocked the Bobcats from the MAC title race. On that particular Saturday after- noon, Coach Jerry France ' s frustra- tions climaxed when he and an uni- dentified fan nearly came to blows between games of the twin-bill. Despite a weak defense and unrelia- Catcher Bill Baldner belly-sides back to first base with reckless abandon. Mark Gabrenya Bobcat Larry Fath receives an unfriendly welcome at third base. Baseball 165 ble pitching corps, the Bobcats ' 1977 campaign was not entirely unsuccess- ful. The offensive brigade was at times awesome as it worked to set several school batting records. For example, Ohio broke a 77-year old school mark for most runs scored in a single game when they plated 25 tallies against Xavier. Another highlight of the season was journeying to Cleveland ' s Municipal Stadium where the club split a double- header with the Cleveland State Vikings. Individually, a few Bobcats distin- guished themselves by winning spots on the All-MAC team. Sophomore left- fielder Kevin Pnessman, who led the squad in batting average (.403) and RBI ' s (36); and sophomore hurler John Burden, who had an 8-6 win-loss log and a fine 2.57 ERA, were both named to the first team.

Baseball Coach Jerry France, in his fifth year at OU, was ejected from a game after pushing an umpire while protesting a judgment call. He later had to be separated from an irate fan who shouted insults and questioned his coaching ability. In the Bobcats ' final game, France started inexperienced players, intend- ing to later replace them with seniors. The senior players, however, misinter- preting his actions, left the dugout and gathered in the bullpen after France specifically requested that they remain in the dugout. France there fore decided not to replace the inexpe- rienced players already on the field, and the ' Cats went on to lose both games of the double bill. After the contest, WOUB ' s Ken Sil- verstem taped France ' s comments and the coach obviously upset after Ohio ' s first losing season in 33 years, was critical of several players, particu- larly those who had left the dugout. Silverstein later played the tape for the players in the locker room and recorded their comments, mostly derogatory, regarding France. Golf Coach Kermit Blosser also voiced displeasure with his team in the media. Despite optimistic presea- son predictions, Ohio ' s golfers had a poor season, attributed by Blosser to lack of concentration and seriousness. On several occasions, he criticized individual golfers by name and this led some observers to wonder if his criti- cisms didn ' t do more harm than good. Track Coach Larry Clinton, enjoying the best season of his three-year ten- ure, undoubtedly did not enjoy the controversy that beset his team. One incident after another tarnished the trackmen ' s victories. Sprinter Gerald Mills, suspended from the team for unspecified rea- sons, was later reinstated just hours before a grievance committee would have decided his fate. Assistant Coach Mike Mimms also left the team in mid- season, citing l,ack of respect from Clinton as the reason. He rejoined the team after resolving his differences with the coach, only to resign his post once more at season ' s end. Former team member Rick Billy claimed Clinton cheated him in 1 975 by refusing to renew his scholar- ship after Billy refused to run while injured. The embattled coach denied any wrongdoing and later closed team practices to the press. Finally, citing financial reasons, Clinton decided not to send OU ' s 1600 meter relay team, which had placed fifth nationally in an early meet, to the NCAA Champion- ship in May. He suggested that with team member Jessie Young injured, the Bobcat trackmen had little chance of placing. Other members of the team, including Young ' s replacement, Gerald Mills, felt they were being treated unfairly and deserved a chance to compete. Clinton refushed to change his mind, however, and the team never left the starting blocks, making it the third victim of a troubled sports program at OU. Coaches controversy 167 Keep on Trackin ' All-Americans Help Track Team Finish Second in MAC By John Micklos Bill Wade Competition encompasses many facets of teamwork. Controversy and the brilliant individual performance of Bruce Greene almost oversha- dowed the 1977 track team ' s second- place finish in the MAC ' S. Competing on the new all-weather Goldsberry track in Peden Stadium, the track team amassed a fine dual meet record which included a thrilling 85-78 vic- tory over arch-rival Miami. Controversy, however, made most of the track headlines last spring, (see related article on page 177). Coach Larry Clinton became embroiled in bit- ter disputes with running star Gerald Mills and assistant coach Mike Mimms, as well as former track star Rick Billy. Despite these internal rumblings, the team did an excellent job all sea- son. Their effort was culminated by a second place finish in the MAC ' S, held in Peden Stadium in May. Western Michigan won the championship with 126 team points, but the OU squad amassed 99 ' ? points, easily outdis- tancing the rest of the field for second place. Many fine individual efforts high- li ghted the track season. The 1600- meter relay team, consisting of Jessie Young, Greg Fuqua, James Jeffress and Bruce Greene set a school record in the Florida Relays. The mile relay team placed in the Ail-American indoor relay in Detroit. Other key performers included Roger Gilders, who achieved All-Amer- ican status in the pole vault, and Randy Foster, who placed fifth in the MAC ' S in the 10,000-meter run. Long lumper Alfred Ogunfeyimi also had a fine season, winning two ma|or events at the Ohio Relays in Columbus. The spotlight, however, fell on sen- ior Bruce Greene. Greene set nine dif- ferent Ohio University records during his track career. In April he was named senior athlete of the year at the 16th annual Green and White sports banquet. Greene won two events and anchored the winning 1600-meter relay team at the MAC ' S, earning the title of Most Outstanding Athlete of the meet. His track career came to a fit- ting conclusion as he earned All-Amer- ican honors. 168 Mens track Precision timing is essential for successful baton exchanges between Bruce Greene and Greg Fuqua. Bill Wade Men ' s track 169 A ' Classic ' Tale By John Micklos It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. This Dickens ' quote typifies the 1977 season for the Ohio University tennis team. After winning a record 17 dual matches, the Bob- cats finished a disappointing eighth in the Mid-American Championships, despite the advantage of playing on their newly surfaced home courts. Returning all but one starter from the 1976 squad, the Bobcats finished their annual spring trip south with a creditable 5-4 record against tough competition. Coach Cotton Stevenson was openly optimistic about the team ' s chances to upset highly- favored Miami in the MAC ' S. After finishing the regular season with a record of 17-10, the Bobcats approached the MAC ' S with confi- dence. However, the home court advantage and fan support proved to be of no avail. The OU squad amassed only five team points, while Miami rolled to an easy victory with 36 points. Jim Domke was the only Bob- cat to get as far as the semi-final round. Individual bright spots for the sea- son included the play of Steve Navarro in the first singles spot. Junior Jim Oppenlander also performed well, although he sat out part of the season with injuries. The 1978 edition of the tennis team will be strengthened by new recruits like Tony Torlina and David Mossoian. Coupled with the return of Oppenlander, there is a strong nucleus for Coach Stevenson to build upon. This year the tennis team partici- pated in a fall match for the first time in its history. The Bobcats traveled to the east coast to meet powerhouse teams from the Atlantic Coast Confer- ence, including Maryland. OU per- formed well, placing second among four teams and giving Coach Steven- son reason to be optimistic about the Cats ' chances come spring. See team photo on page 203.

Golfers On Downswing, Blosser Teed Off By Myra Smitley Coach Kermit Blosser came away short in his attempt to add another MAC golf title to the Bobcat trophy collection in 1977. Frustrated by the disappointing season, Blosser verbally blasted his players in The Post. His criticism led to poor team morale and the eventual resignation of Doug Schwarz from the team. The golf team got off to a slow start on their annual trip south as they finished 13th in a 15-team field at the Iron Duke Classic in Durham, North Carolina. After finishing second in a three team match with Michigan State and Wofford, the Bobcats finished 24th out of 27 teams at the Furman Invitational in South Carolina. Inconsistency plagued the OU squad throughout the season. The Bobcats followed a seventh place finish at the Marshall Big Green Tourney with a fine third place showing at the Ashland Invitational. However, they dropped in the Kepler Invitational, where they finished 15th out of 23 teams. At the MidAmerican Invitational, the Bobcats placed 11th in a 15-team field and seventh among nine MAC squads. The Bobcats improved their performance in the MAC Tournaments by finishing fifth. Part of the tourna- ment was played at Athens Country Club. Members of the golf team included: Dave Cappellari, Bob Moll, Eric Bartoli, Craig Vandlick, Bob Sparks, Brian Eichler, Scott Bibbee, Randy Densmore, Jeff Johnson, Lowell Dencer, John Miller, Dave Ash and Mark Flocken- zier. Flockenzier was a standout performer for the OU squad, notching second place honors at the Kent Invita- tional. See team photo on page 203. Golf 171 Green Sticks, No Sparks Inexperience Hurts Lacrosse Club in ' 77 By Jan Delp The 1977 season got off to a slow start for the men ' s lacrosse club as only seven players returned to the 21 man team. Lack of field experience by the maprity of the players left them vulnerable to more experienced clubs. Of eight scheduled games, the ' Cats won two, lost three and forfeited three. Two of the three forfeits occurred when OU forfeited to Wooster and Pittsburgh because of minor injuries and sickness. The last forfeit was in the ' Cats favor as Ashland had no ready field. Despite the handicaps, OU still managed to beat its long-standing rival Miami University, 12-11, In the only other victory the ' Cats defeated West Virginia, 16-7. Losses to the Columbus Lacrosse Club, Marietta and Southern Ohio con- cluded the Bobcat ' s season. In the starting lineup were Bill Uhl- felder, Jeff Pearsall and Fred Nelligan playing attack. Midfield positions were manned by Rob McBrayer, Steve Woods and Don Shutz. Chip Glazer, Herbie Gunzberg and Howard Cohen played defense and Bill Soukup was goalie. Tiff Cook, head of Bird Arena, was adviser for the team. Bill Wade Even during an intrasquad scrimmage determination and strategy play an important role. 1 72 Lacrosse Ruggers Tackle Tough Opponents Bob Hill A good offense and a strong scrum allowed the 1977 Rugby Club to finish with a successful record. Shrugging off a would-be tackier, an OU rugger boots ball to waiting teammates. By Jackie Campbell A tough defense that played hard but clean, brought the men ' s rugby club a successful season, with an overall 7-3 record and a third place tie in the Ohio Seven Side Tournament this fall. The club featured a strong scrum and a good offense and these two factors alone aided the squad in competition against the more polished teams like Akron and the Cleveland Blues. Playing on the South Green field, where they drew as many as 500 spectators, the ruggers com- piled a 4-2 regular season record. In the tourna- ment, Ohio was 3-1, and lost only to Scioto Valley, last year ' s state champ. Scrum half John Byrnes and center Jim Rasato were honored with post-season awards. Byrnes was named to the Ohio Under 23 Select Team and Rasato was made trialist on that same squad. This special team honored the best players in Ohio who are under 23 years of age.

Bill Wade 1 74 Soccer Although hampered by inexpe- rience, the 1977 Ohio Univer- sity soccer team finished its season with an even 9-9 record, a great improvement over its 4-10-2 mark of a year ago. Coach Earl Draper ' s squad was young and featured many freshmen and sophomores. This inexpe rience, however, led to a great degree of inconsistency. Draper said, It was an unusual year because we beat some very strong teams and lost to some weaker ones. The Bobcats ' biggest wins were a 2-0 victory over power- house Cincinnati and a dramatic 3-2 overtime verdict at Miami. It ' s always a thrill for us to beat Miami, Draper said. Draper used 18 to 20 players each game, and said this system helped team morale and enabled the players to stay fresh. Overall, Draper was pleased with the progress of his younger players. He added that the leadership of senior co-captains T. J. Hahn, Rich Kilgore and Ed Poyo was instrumental in this improvement. Poyo and junior Dave Hiteshew earned Honorable Mention on the All- Ohio team, but Draper noted that many players were vital to the team ' s success. For example, Eric Begehr led the Bobcats with 1 1 goals, while Den- nis Blackwell was the team ' s most improved player. Draper also cited Libyan Reda Barbaria and Algerian freshman Salah Benbatta as highly skilled players, and added that Don Tkacz and Bob Joyce performed well in goal. Draper said Tkacz has the potential to become The best goal- keeper in the state of Ohio. Draper only loses four players from this year ' s squad, and he is openly optimistic about 1978. A realistic goal would be a record above 12-6, he said. Our determination and spirit will determine how far above that fig- ure we can go.

Soccer 1 75 Bobcats Struggle Through Injury-Marred Season By Ed Dale Following a bright season last year, Coach Bill Hess and the Bobcats drop- ped to a dismal 110 season this year. Unlike the 1976 team which ended the season 7-4 and finished second in the Mid-American Conference, this year ' s team failed to win a single MAC game. It was Ohio ' s worst record since 1 965 when they were 0- 1 0. All in all Hess thought it was just a year he wanted to forget about. Injuries seemed to be a major cause of the Cats ' downfall. The Bobcats had four defensive starters put out for the season in their first game. From then on, Ohio was never really healthy, con- tinuing to lose players as the season progressed. Hess said the injuries were normal enough, but the exten- sive number was extraordinary. In OU ' s opener against Marshall the Bobcats won 42-21. After this costly victory, however, they were never the same and OU was full-steam in rev- erse. Hess and his troops then con- fronted a much improved Purdue team, and although Ohio tried to put up a fight, they were overwhelmed and bombarded by freshman quarter- back Mark Herrmann. Herrmann ended the day with 329 passing yards against the beleaguered OU defense. The only Bobcat score came when Kevin Babcock charged into the end zone from the Boilermakers ' 18-yard line. At the annual Miami-Ohio rivalry, the Redskins almost had their Home- coming ruined. Senior quarterback Andy Vetter connected with tight end Mark Geisler on touchdown passes of 21 and 15 yards and the ground attack produced 166 yards to its credit, while Steve Green kicked a field Greg! Arnold Welcher was one of many Bobcats lost for the season with injuries.

Even at the last home game played November 12 against Bowling Green, when the team was hope- lessly mired In last place, the fans showed up at Peden Stadium to drink wine, watch the band and pass some girls up the stands. Before the start of each game, the entrances were filled with anxious students hoping to smuggle in some refreshments past the ticket-takers and security police. Once this feat was accomplished, the fans began toasting every Bobcat first down, every completion and every score. However, by the end of the game, the fans were drinking to drown the sorrow of another Bobcat loss. During halftime, the Marching 110 ' s performance managed to lift the sagging spirits of the crowd and the fans usu ally responded with ova- tions. It didn ' t matter whether the band danced to the tunes of Stevie Wonder or whether thev mellowed 1 78 Fans out the crowd with MacArthur Park. Then as the band filed off the field, throngs of students also filed out of the stadium. Toward the end of the game, the final ritual of the fans was the pass- ing of girls to the top of the stands. Although many sadists called for the victim to be tossed over the top, no OU student has yet to be lost. So if in the future you attend an OU football game, be sure to watch the action in the stands, as well as the action taking place on the field. goal. All these factors combined, how- ever, were not enough to defeat the Oxford team who ended the game with a 28-24 victory. OU ' s Homecoming game against Western Michigan was disappointing for the 1 7,072 fans as OU once more came up on the short end. The defense played well, but in the end Western Michigan ' s Persell, the nation ' s second leading rusher and scorer in 1976, was WM ' s workhorse with touchdown runs of 56, 30 and 45 yards. The Bobcats finally lost 30-24 as Western Michigan held onto the ball in the last few minutes to keep Ohio from getting a chance to score. When Ohio faced Kent State at home, Vetter had a spectacular day. Vetter hit 28 of 43 passes for a total of 394 yards. These totals set an Ohio record for most passes completed and most yards gained. However, despite Vetter ' s great day, it was not enough to beat the powerful Golden Flashes who racked up 44 points against Ohio ' s 23. At the last home game of the season against Bowling Green, the Bobcats w ent down once again to defeat. The Falcons amassed 545 total yards to Ohio ' s 388. The game was close to the end, but three last quarter fumbles by Ohio killed any last-minute scoring chances. Losing to Bowling Green 39- 27 marked the second time in Ohio ' s history that the Cats failed to win a single game in Peden Stadium during a season. It was a very difficult season because it turned into a nightmare, Hess said. Despite all the problems, there were a few good points at the end of the season. Vetter was chosen to be on the first-team All-MAC, while Mark Geisler and Nigel Turpin received sec- ond-team honors. Arnold Welcher became Ohio ' s all-time leading ground gainer and Steve Gross, who was injured in the Marshall game, may be an NFL prospect if his knee heals well enough, according to Hess.

Harriers End On Even Note By Anne Westman Some people say three ' s a charm, but Cross Country Coach Larry Clinton would probably extend that to four. While Ohio University ' s team finished with a 3-3 record, they continued to improve as they have since Clinton came here four years ago. OU ' s team ended the season sixth in the MAC — the same rank as last year, and ironically, its 1 56 points was also the same score as that of the 1976 team. However, Clinton believes the competition was much stiffer this year and that is why the team did not finish any higher. The most valuable player for the squad was junior Greg Moran, who fin- ished 1 1th in the conference. Even though two promising harri- ers, Mark Hutter and Bruce Smith, were unable to finish the season, the rest of the team put forth an outstand- ing effort to make this season the best since 1 970, according to the coach. Bill Wade The OU golf course provided an excellent terrain for cross country contests. Cross Country 181 cr + p jT r Cagers ' Season Locked In Mediocrity By Michelle Stubbs The Bobcats once again failed to come out above the .500 mark for the season as they completed their cam- paign with a 13-14 record overall and 6-10 in the M id-American Conference. This latter record tied the ' Cats with Ball State for the seventh spot in the conference standings. This was perhaps one of the tough- est seasons for the ' Cats. After being stranded in Upper Sandusky following the Eastern Michigan game, they seemed to take a different outlook over the remainder of the season. Senior center Ernie Whitus reflected that going into the latter part of the season, the team went into each game very optimistic. But despite great effort, the ' Cats ended up on the short end of the stick in many of their contests. The Miami and Central Michigan games were the highlights of home court action. Taking the court against the Redskins, the Bobcats were psyched more than usual, although by this time hopes for the title had faded. Bob Leon, Ernie Whitus and Mark Shark Lauretti, the three seniors on the squad, wanted the win even more than the others. (Leon was the only member of the ' 77 ' 78 squad who had ever participated in a win over the Redskins.) However, Miami was again marked down as a loss, 66-70, but seniors Whitus and Leon later revealed that it wasn ' t a total loss. They felt that everyone played at their best and kept the Redskins under control during most of the game. The Central Michigan contest, on the other hand, came as a big surprise to the 2,020 fans on hand as well as the players. The 105-94 victory over the Chippewas closed out the ' Cats home season play on a good note. Perhaps this game displayed the best individual and team playing efforts of the season. Several Convo records were estab- lished in this game. Bobby Leon set a new record with 1 1 assists, eclipsing the mark previously held by junior Buckey Walden, while junior Tim Joyce tied John Canine ' s record of 21 points in one half. Canine ' s record was set in 1970 against Toledo. Team marks achieved were most points in one half, 69, topping the previous mark of 60, and most points scored by two teams at 199. All three seniors had their best performance for the season during this game. Tim Joyce came out on top as lead- ing scorer for the season with 21.9 points per game, totaling 548 overall. Joyce scored his highest total against Central Michigan, tallying 34 points. Last year ' s high scorer, junior guard Steve Skaggs pulled in second place this year with 487 points, aver- aging 20.3 ppg. Sports Information Director Frank Morgan pointed out that this is the first season in his 15 years here that there have been two players at the same time averaging 20 or more points per game. Top rebounding honors went to jun- ior transfer Brewer Gray, who hauled down 8.9 rebounds per game. Whitus rated second with 6.8. Buckey Walden headed the list for assists totaling 94 for the season. Wal- den also captured the best free throw percentage, .787 for 50 75. The ' Cats look forward to the ' 78- ' 79 season with high hopes for a pos- sible title, as the loss of only two start- ers should not be that crucial to the outcome of their schedule.

Special Report Athletic Director Changes Direction Bill Rohr Resigns Post After 1 5 Years of Service By Cindy Myers Fifteen years as OU ' s athletic direc- tor, as well as a long career centered around sports, came to an end this spring for Bill Rohr when he resigned his post as athletic director and turned instead to a sales-oriented job. Announced January 31, the resig- nation (effective June 30) came as a surprise to both administration and students. Actually it was something Rohr had been considering for two years and came simply out of a desire for what he termed a change of direction. Indeed, Rohr has changed directions as he has taken a job as a salesman for the Equitable Life Assur- ance Society of the United States, and insurance company, in Cincinnati. Rohr ' s career so far has been cen- tered around sports, especially bas- ketball. Before coming to OU in 1963, Rohr spent six years as head basket- ball coach at Northwestern University. Prior to that he coached basketball at Miami University where four out of six teams that he coached won Mid-Amer- ican Conference titles. Earlier, Rohr also served as basketball coach and athletic director at Portsmouth High School in Portsmouth, Ohio. Since Rohr has been here, the uni- versity has won 34 Mid-American Con- ference championships and six Reese Cup all-sports awards. A replacement for Rohr has not yet been appointed although a search committee has been formed for that purpose.

Led by Iranian player-coach Homoy- oun Daftary, the 16-member squad competed in the Midwest Intercollegi- ate Volleyball Association against such teams as Miami, Toledo and Bowling Green. The team, which included two women, finished last in a five-team tournament at Bowling Green early in the season. They improved to finish third among four teams at a later tournament at Ohio Wesleyan, winning five of nine games. Under a league format which uses tournament records to determine qualification for post-season play, team captain Bob Grace noted, We ' ll have to have good finishes in our last two tournaments to qualify for the league finals. The volleyball team is one of seven club sports under consideration for elevation to varsity status if Ohio Uni- versity chooses to enter the NCAA ' s superconference in 1978. Speaking of this possibility, Grace said, I ' d say we have a reasonable shot at being chosen. 186 Men s volleyball Pat Tehan Bobcat icer slides one through the legs of the Case Western Reserve goalie. The Puck Stops Here leers Glide To A Strong Finish By Ed Dale Although the OU hockey club got off to a slow start this year under Coach John Menzies, the icers improved as the season progressed. In their first game against Ohio State, the Bobcats were soundly defeated, 9-1 . And after the game, one of the players for the Cats commented that they were just outclassed by the Buckeyes. The next Bobcat loss occurred when the Hudepohl Senior team from Detroit defeated the hapless OU club in two different games, 12-3 and 4-0. The losing streak then continued as the OU Alumni defeated the young OU team, 6-4, in an exhibition at Bird Arena. The Cats ' luck changed, however, when they beat a first year hockey club from Case Western Reserve. Nothing went wrong for OU as they defeated Case solidly in two games, 17-2 and 12-0. After those wins, an Improved OU club went on to beat Dennison University. Dennison, ear- lier in the year, had defeated Ohio State. Menzies felt the season went well for the team and added that hockey will become a maior sport at the uni- versity only if it is funded as a major sport. Otherwise, Menzies said, it will remain a club sport so it can have competition of the same caliber. Although this was Menzies ' first year as coach, the undergraduate tried to mix strenuous team work with fun. There were several outstanding hockey players, among them co-cap- tains Jim Lowery and Greg Griffin and three exceptional rookies. These first- year men that helped improve the OU team were Darryl Roberts, Kurt Anthi ewicy and Craig McCallister.

Under Coach Harry Houska for 10 years, the teams have won seven Mid American Conference Championships and have placed in the Top 10 of the National Collegiate Athletic Association for three years. This year, however, things were a little tougher for Houska and his wres- tlers. OU ended with a fourth place fin- ish in the MAC. Causes for this may have been due to the lack of a bal- anced team and Inexperienced wres- tlers. The team also suffered from no-shows or athletes who had plan ned to attend OU but did not. Luckily, miuries did not plague the team. To come back with a winning sea son, Houska feels it will be necessary to fill some weight classes, especially those voids left by Andy Daniels (118), Randolph Scott (167), and Phil Gegor (158). Daniels, voted MAC outstanding wrestler two years in a row, compiled a 22 1 record this year. He also was an MAC champion at the 1 18-pound clas- sification for three years running. Scott, on the other hand, an MAC champion two years ago, placed sec- ond in the MAC this year, while Gre- gor, fourth in the MAC last year, placed third for the ' 77- ' 78 season. On winning, the OU wrestling team has common goals and philosophies about success. We try to win the MAC and place in the Top 10 of the NCAA each year, Houska said. Indi- vidually, the wrestlers try to attain goals of placing in the MAC or NCAA, being a captain of the team, or setting individual team records. Pal Tehan After several successful seasons of being first in the Mid-American Conference, the Bobcat wrestlers fell to fourth place this past year as inexperience hurt their overall effort. OU grappler attempts take down 188 Wrestling Bill Wade of Eastern Michigan opponent. Wrestling 189 To build a wrestling team, a coach must recruit the team members from the top high school wrestlers in the nation. According to Houska, Ohio University looks for athletes who are dedicated and are Interested in the same goals as the present wrestling team. They also must be able to do well scholastically. The biggest influ- ences on most recruits are finding their desired major offered here and scholarships. Most recruited athletes visit OU and are given a tour of the campus and the athletic facilities. Then, if they are interested in attending OU, they sign a national letter of intent — meaning they plan to wrestle for OU. Ohio University has a tradition of producing fine wrestling teams, and having a strong coaching staff and fine facilities create such teams. The records of the past several years prove that very point. Pat Tehan MAC champion Andy Daniels struggles in his match against a Golden Flash from Kent State.

Tom Powell 190 Wrestling Swimmers ' Record Takes A Dive Men Flounder Without Top Swimmers By Anne Westman No swim team can jump right into a successful season without experience and this was the case with Coach Fletcher Gilders ' 1977- ' 78 squad. After losing six top seniors last year, the OU swimmers ' overall record dropped to 2- 10. The exceptionally young squad worked hard since the beginning of fall quarter. In addition, they spent Christmas break camping near St. Petersburg, Florida, where they worked out seven hours everyday until lack of funds forced them to return home. Besides lacking experience, Gilders attributed the record to the team ' s size (four members less than the nor- mal 18). However, he believes the team has potential. He said Dwayne Liles (breaststroke). Bill Harrmger (butterfly and freestyle) and Brian Wethendge (last year ' s conference diving champ) will aid the team in the future. When asked how he felt the team would finish at the conference meet, he pointed-out that they were picked eighth out of 10 teams last year and came out in fourth place. This year, however, the team did not do as well, as they were supposed to wind up ninth, and in fact, finished only a notch higher. Tom Powell With freshmen such as Phillip Geiger, swim coach Fletcher Gilders hopes to rebuild his team, which sank this season to a 2- 10 record.

The slow pitch softball squad was unbeatable, amassing its perfect record behind the standout pitching of Mary Ann Cline, who replaced the m|ured Gail Killmeyer midway through the season. Cline notched two wins for the Bobcats and raised her own career mark to 4-0 in slow pitch action. The fast pitch team opened with a victory over Salem Col- lege, but the victory skein was short-lived as the Bobcats dropped both ends of a double-header in their home opener against Ashland. After losing two more games to Ball State, OU bounced back with an 8-1 victory over Muskingum Col- lege behind the two-hit pitching of Vala Crabtree. Other Bobcat successes included a 7- 1 shellacking of Ash- land in a return match and an 1 8-4 bombardment of Capital University. OU dropped games to powerful teams from Ohio State and West Virginia but then defeated Ohio Northern and Edinboro College. OU climaxed its season with a good showing in the state tournament, where they finished sec- ond among four teams. See team photo on page 206.

Jan Conway, who transferred from Pittsburgh and Debbie Ksenich, who transferred from Lorrain County Com- munity College, combined with Lynn Bozenkta, Anne Wetherill, Barb Haef- ner, Marilyn Dahlberg, Irene Volodke- vich, Pam Whittaker, Terrie Purser and Diana Biber, to produce the team ' s season record of 3-5. Head coach Peggy Pruitt said the team was a young one and many posi- tion shifts had to be made throughout the season. Pruitt added that the out- look for 1978 looks better as a good mixture of freshmen and veterans will make up the squad. The team ' s three wins were against Wright State, 5-4, Marietta, 4-2 and Capital, 6-3. At the state tournament in Columbus, the women captured 14 points, but still came in a mediocre 17th out of 27 schools. (Right) Debbie Ksenich eyes shot during a practice volley. Girls Hurdle First Year Obs tacles By Carole Oberg When the Ohio University women ' s track team was founded by Catherine Brown, it was classified as a club sport. In 1977 the squad competed for the first time as a collegiate sports team and enioyed a moderately successful season. The OU squad participated in five meets, their best show- ing being a tn-meet victory over Rio Grande and Central State. OU also performed well in the Twilight Relays at Ohio State, where they placed sixth among 1 1 teams. Team members included: Julie Bell, Beth Keller, Kim Mor gan, Tamara Vowell, Lori McAfee, Karen Bleigh, Beverly Maccombs, Patricia Willis, Denise Shepherd, Kim Pierce, Michele Fmke, Sandra Noll, Karen Zando, Linda Bench and Brenda Wilson. Wilson had an outstanding season as she threw the shot- put 41-8 9, qualifying for the national collegiate women ' s track and field. See team photo on page 206.

All interested women were con tacted and during winter quarter the team began two-hour practice ses- sions similar to those of the men. A captain and co-captain were then selected, namely Fogo and Terri Lee, respectively. When spring arrived, three games were scheduled and even though the women lost all three contests, the team gained much experience and enjoyed the competition. The losses were really no surprise, for the constant running, tackling and passing necessary for a winning rugby team is the result of experience and the ability to work together as a unit. The Bobcats did not have this team experience. In the fall of 1977, the women ' s rugby team officially joined with the men to form the OU Rugby Club. The club has both men and women as offi- cers. Mike Harrington is president, Glen Lawson is vice-president, Steve Schnipple is treasurer and Fogo is sec OU rugger outleaps Ohio State opponent to gain possession of the ball. 196 Women ' s rugby Bill Wade Teammate is comforted after a lopsided loss to Ohio State. retary. The club ' s adviser is Pete Grif- fith, a chemistry professor. The merger of the two teams has several advantages. Expenses for equipment and field maintenance is shared and club organization is stronger. The women ' s rugby team had two games last fall and while the Bobcats dropped both contests, they contin- ued to gain the experience necessary for success in the future.

It is played nationally in only eight or nine states, and in Ohio it is usually played in the bigger cities only. Internationally, however, field hockey has gained prominence and will become a woman ' s Olympic event in 1980. At Ohio University, the women ' s field hockey team ended its 1977 season with a record of 3 wins, 7 losses and 1 tie. This mediocre record can be partially attributed to health problems and inexperience among the 25-member team. Next year, three field hockey scholarships will be offered in the hope of recruiting a nucleus of strong players. High scorers for the team this year were sophomores Mary Hinders and Terry Matis with four goals, while other scorers included Rhonda Rawlins with three goals, junior Lynn Bozentka with two goals and Kathy Weir and Sherril Quinn with a goal apiece. Tom Powell Field hockey has gained popularity, not only at OU, but nationwide as well. Hand-eye coordination is essential in this fast-moving sport of field hockey. . ■■i Greg Smith 198 Field hockey Women ' s Trainer Copes with Team ' s Injuries By Sue Koch When a player goes down on the field I have to be calm. If I ' m not, then she ' s not and everyone panics, Alice McNeill said. You need a quick mind that can cope with anything without first sitting down to figure out the situ- ation and what to do. McNeill currently is a trainer for the women ' s field hockey team and in the spring will begin a training stint with the men ' s football squad. As a sopho- more majoring in biological science, McNeill has been a trainer for both the women ' s basketball and softball teams. I started in high school as man- ager for women ' s basketball. The coach suggested I try to make a career of training, McNeill said. Before enrolling at OU she took a cor- respondence course in training. This enabled her to jump right into the OU training crew. McNeill said the male trainers have a great attitude toward women trainers and that she has seen no dis- crimination toward her at all. She pointed out that many of the upper- class trainers are male and have sen- iority which often puts them in charge. Training positions are difficult to get and the competition is growing. McNeill said women are finding the training field easier to break into because of the growing interest and funding of women ' s sports. McNeill plans to get her master ' s degree and then teach on either a high school or college level while con- tinuing training duties on the side. Eventually she hopes to be qualified to teach sports medicine. Sophomore trainer Alice McNeill believes that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Women ' s trainer 199 Frosh Form Foundation For Future New Coach Organizes Women ' s Basketball Team By Jackie Campbell With a new coach, a predominately freshman team and only two returning letter winners, the women ' s basketball team in 1977 ' 78 began to build for the future. Four freshmen and one junior made up the starting squad, according to Coach Kathy Martin, and this led to some problems with inexperience and scoring. However, the team did have some bright moments as two last-min- ute wins over Wright State and Cleve- land State proved that the young squad could maintain its poise and win under pressure. Even though the squad stayed in Athens over winter break to practice, it seemed like they were starting from scratch in January as a three-week layoff caused by inclement weather slowed down the lady Bobcats. Freshmen Lisa Fitch and Lori Koe- nig were the leading scorers for the team and Judy Uher, also a freshman, led in rebounding. In addition, leader- ship and experience was provided by team captain Cinda Westfall, a junior, as she helped guide the team to a record of 5-8. See team photo on page 207.

Varsity Team Experiences Losing Season for First Time In Four Years By Dyan Dyttmer 1977 proved to be a first for the women ' s varsity volleyball team as they experienced their first losing sea- son in four years under the direction of Coach Nancy Schaub. For a number of reasons we were losing games we never should have lost, said Schaub. We had a very young team (only two seniors and one junior) and we were working with a more complicated offense system. The varsity spikers chalked up 13 wins and 1 5 losses in conference com- petition, and dropped sets to Ohio State and Bowling Green in the state tourney. The junior varsity team, under the direction of Coach Jean Newman, was undefeated with an 1 1- mark. Although the varsity team will be losing seniors Denise Izor and Candy Conrad, Schaub predicts a better fin- ish for the 1978 team if junior Mary Ann Cline and sophomore Barb Haef- ner come through with some steady play. Bobcat leaps to launch a potential scoring spike. Jeff Kompa Women ' s Volleyball 201 Lack Of Depth Sinks Swim Team By Toni Heldman It ' s quality before quantity, accord- ing to second-year coach Brigid DeVries. The women ' s swim team instructor said the main problem for this year ' s squad was depth. With only six swimmers it ' s hard. Each one has to compete in the maximum num- ber of events. Doing the breaststroke, back, but- terfly and free is not as easy as it may seem as each of the swimmers will tell you. For the Bobcatfish, it ' s three hours of practice everyday. However, the long hours have paid off for three members of the team as Ellen Bond, Eileen Gard and Terry Layne have all qualified for the regional meet. In comparison with other MAC schools, Ohio ' s facilities are much smaller and because of the location, Ohio doesn ' t attract as many swim- mers. Despite this fact, however, fine performances were turned in by Ohio divers Susie Miller and Chris Shelton, as they took first and second place honors in several meets. Ohio University mermaid makes a big splash as she backstrokes in competition.

Currently there are 20 sororities and fraternities on campus, ranging from Delta Tau Delta which was founded in 1862 to Alpha Epsilon Pi which was founded this year. Each fraternity or sorority has its own personality. What ' s more, these individual personalities sometimes merge for social events such as Homecoming, J-Prom and Siglympics. Community and charity events also gain attention from the Greeks. One of the oldest and fastest grow- ing fraternities on campus is located at 4 University Terrace. This group. Delta Tau Delta, has no prerequisites for |oining other than a desire to aid the chapter. The Delts, as they are commonly called, are active in many facets of collegiate life. In addition to holding teas with sororities and organ- izing a rush every quarter, an alumni tea was held fall quarter with John Galbneth, a former Delt who now owns the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Delts, as do all the Greek organiza- tions, sponsor private events for mem- bers only. The fraternities ' counterparts are just as active and diverse although fewer in number. Even though the dif- ferent sororities on sorority row may vary in size and status, they are all full of enthusiasm and pride. Greek Life stresses brotherhood, unity and common commitment, and at Ohio University, the Greeks are attempting to enlarge their influence by developing reputations based on those very principles. (Left) Taking advantage of the university ' s closing, the Delts organize an impromtu football game.

Vaseline is applied to Towns ' lower lip. By Jay Mariotti L. B. Towns, Ohio ' s standout mid- dleweight boxer, doesn ' t fit the out-of- the-ring image usually reserved for boxers. While his aggressive ring exploits are already legend in Southeast Ohio and are spreading to all points of col- legiate boxing around the United States, Towns is not one of those brash, loud-mouthed fighters who seem to thrive on attention. Rather, He is a very intelligent and well-mannered young man who always is friendly and has the knack for being charming and sincere, said his coach, Dr. Maung Gyi. What ' s more, his coach added, He L. B. Towns, the man dubbed ' TNT, ' prepares to unleash another dynamite punch. is very devoted to his religion. I think his religion helps him in life and in boxing. And he ' s very dedicated to his family. Unlike many college students who seem to take their families for granted sometimes, L. B. keeps close ties with his. Towns invited his family from Columbus to witness his exhibitions at the Ohio University Boxing Champion- ships held on February 1 7 and 1 8, and he didn ' t disappoint his kin as he won decisions both Friday and Saturday night. So how does a well-mannered, bal- let-dancing theater major strike fear into an opponent? Take one step into the ring with L. B. and you ' ll see he has a very hard, powerful punch, Gyi said. That ' s why nobody entered his weight class in the OU championships. Everyone ' s scared of him. L. B.

But he was also a born artist. As a result, his inventions are com- monly as beautiful as they are service- able. Sometimes we can make these of more durable materials, but we can never improve on the design. Imitating the Indians when summer approached and the days grew long and hot. Jay Hostetler and Ardyce Lee broke out their tepee and left the world of walls and corners behind. A couple of years ago a friend of mine bought one and he turned me on to them, Jay said. They ' re better than regular tents in a lot of ways and it ' s really an experience to live in one. Jay owns eight acres of woods |ust outside of town and every year the Athens ' native sets up the tepee in a different location. A music maior and a member of the OU Symphony, Ardyce likes the idea of Indian living because it gets you away from the mechanical part of life and brings you closer to nature. The couple cook simple meals with corn, noodles, eggs or any other food that can be fried or boiled. They even- tually hope to build a spring house which is the natural equivalent of a refrigerator. We aren ' t completely self-sufficient but we are independ- ent, Ardyce said. Tepee is a Sioux word meaning for living in. When you sit in its simplisti- cally beautiful interior or in front of a blazing fire surrounded by the peace- ful silence of the great outdoors, you realize |ust how right they are. Jay Hostetler and Ardyce Lee enjoy the naturalistic setting of the great outdoors. 244 Living off The land Lori Fende Recreation Dana Finley Journalism John Fitzpatrick Political Science Robin Fleig Electrical Engineering Rhonda Fleming Management Anna Fogler English Cheryl Forma Psychology Scott Friedman Communications Donna Friend Associate in Individualized Studies Linda Fultz Physical Education John Gainor Communications Mark Gabrenya Photography Barbara Gasaway El.

Peewee League Teaches Young Players Fundamentals Photography and text By Mark Gabrenya I wanted to teach them attitudes and values in the process of playing, said Samuel Goldman, reflecting on his experiences as coach of the third grade Peewee football team. Teaching youngsters is nothing new for Gold- man, however, since he is the Dean of the College of Education at Ohio Uni versity. Coaching the Peewee team came by surprise for Goldman as he had no expectations about coaching. How- ever, the dean said he enjoyed the experience and that the important point of the league was to stress fun- damentals. Usually, during the first part of practice the boys concentrated on tackling drills, running, passing and other basic skills, while during the second part, the youngsters would scrimmage. The Peewee football league was sponsored by the Athens City Recrea- tion Department and the teams played on Saturday morning at the West State Street fields. Discussing another area, Goldman said he didn ' t see fathers as a real threat to the boys developing a good attitude toward football. Parents would come and watch because they were interested in their child, he said. Joey Goldman, one of the third- graders on the team, was not quite as concerned about the learning process he had gone through. I just like foot- ball, was his reason for joining the Peewee league. Samuel Goldman, coach for the third grade Peewee football team, goes over the rules before their scrimmage. 248 Peewee football Patricia Kelley Housing Interior Design Tim Kelley Marketing Anna Kendrick Mental Health Tech.

Bill Wade Wade ' Reincarnated ' Prof Considers Self A Prophet The 47-year old professor, a passionate orator, is always in constant motion while speaking. By Andrea Heil In the manner of falling stars and four-leaf clovers, once In a great while you run across (or into) an extraordi- nary person. AEthelred Eldridge is such a man. AEthelred is an associate professor of art. He is also William Blake reincar- nated. Blake was an 18th and 19th century poet and artist — a word genius who stressed the power of human imagina- tion. Before his death Blake spoke of a visionary city of art, a place of free interaction among individuals called Golgonooza. Golgonooza exists today at the base of Mount Nebo, on Route 1, Millfield, Ohio. It exists at the home of AEthel- red and Alexandra Eldridge and at their Church and School of William Blake. We ' re living Blake, says Alexan- dra. We know his life forward and backward. AEthelred has been read- ing the poet ' s words aloud two hours a day for 15 years. The art professor also reads Blake ' s words and inter- prets his writings at classes held every Sunday at 10 a.m., as he ' s been doing the past 10 years, developing some- what of a cult in the area. AEthelred the poet considers him- self a prophet. It ' s the same damn word. Poets and prophets are outra- geous men. It ' s opening your damn mouth and not caring what you ' re going to say. No one can hurt you — you ' re puncture proof.

Barbell Club Conquers Weight Problems By Mary Schroeder Half the fun of lifting weights down there is the com- pany, said Doug Ellwood, member of the OU Barbell Club. Without anyone, it wouldn ' t be any fun. You |oke around, do some lifting, help someone else out. It ' s a nice place to be. Located in Grover Center, the barbell club has a mem bership of about 175 men. In order to use the equip- ment, new members are required to pay $1 5 a year for dues, while the dues for returning members is $1 2. This policy enables the club to purchase more equipment since the university does not provide any funding for the organization. Only weight-lifting is done in the club and three types of lifts are usually employed. By using either the power lift, the body builder lift or the Olympic lifting method, each weight lifter has his own program designed to improve his body as he desires. Most of the guys lift to keep good muscle tone and also to improve their looks. There is no competition within the club, as such, since each person works according to his own pace. The National Weightlifting Championships, however, were held in Athens in 1976 and two OU students finished first in their respective weight division. Mary Schroeder Ellwood strains to lift a heavy weight on the bench press.

When we, the class of 1978, arrived in Athens during that chilly September in 1975, little did we realize what laid in store. We came to Athens from different geographic locations and with various expecta- tions and goals. However, Athens slowly began to become our home away from home. Fall quarter 1975 brought us our first exposure to such items as college classes. Bobcat football and the week- end madness uptown. We learned to tolerate the first experience, cheered at the second and thoroughly enjoyed the third. During an unusually warm winter, we came face to face with our first major controversy. The brouhaha began as objections were raised with the Freshman Residential Program that restricted dormitory visitation pol- icies and the entire issue climaxed on Tuesday, January 14, when the Stu- dent Governing Board sponsored a mass meeting which was attended by about 225 freshmen in Boyd Hall. Despite threats by both sides, how- Walter Luckett Bill Wade Charles Ping was sworn in as Ohio University ' s 1 8th President in spring, 1 975. Bill Wade 260 College review ever, the issue gradually subsided, and no changes in policy were made. Other occurrences of importance Included the shattering of the all male restriction of the Marching 110, regional coverage of a Bobcat basket- ball game featuring all-time scoring leader Walter Luckett and the selec tion of Charles J. Ping as the 18th president, replacing interim head Harry Crewson. When spring arrived, we experi- enced the cool, refreshing waters of Stroud ' s Run. What ' s more, we dis- covered that springtime in Athens often brought monsoon rains and that owning an umbrella was a necessary fact of life. After a three-month adjournment for summer vacation, we realized how much we missed the agony of clim- bing Jeff Hill and the mystery meat of cafeteria meals. The highlight of fall quarter was a concert appearance by those ageless wonders of the Califor- nia-style, the Beach Boys. The controversy for sophomore year centered around Mike Borden. When it was discovered that Borden was playing basketball with only one good eye, the team physician refused to let Borden continue. However, after intervention by the American Civil Lib- erties Union and presidential candi- date Morris Udall, the team reversed its decision. As winter neared an end, the wres fling team, under the coaching of Harry Houska, won its seventh con- secutive MAC championship, while spring quarter brought another ma|or concert featuring Dream Weaver Gary Wright and Peter Frampton. Another first that spring occurred when a last weekend uptown celebra tion turned into a confrontation between Athens police and students. Police broke up a crowd of about 500 students by firing knee-kno ckers, and later lobbed tear gas canisters to dis- perse a crowd at the foot of Jeff Hill. Seventeen students and one police man were treated at O ' Bleness Hospi- tal and released. Twenty students were arrested, and property damage uptown was estimated at $5,000. Summer vacation came and went, and we returned to our Harvard on the Hocking to find Super and How ard Halls torn down. Fall quarter was Democratic presidential candidate, Morris Udall made OU a stop on his campaign trail in the spring of 1976. highlighted by the football team ' s fine 8-3 performance, including a 28-14 victory over arch-rival Miami. Hallow- een was another high point, as stu- dents mobbed Court Street in an unof- ficial block party. Police cooperated with the partiers, and there were no serious incidents. For many of us, junior year repre- sented our first experience with out- side housing. Many students moved to houses in popular student areas, such as Court and Mill Streets, while others opted for the convenience of Lakeview Apartments. Winter quarter was hard on those who lived far from campus, as temperatures remained frigid for over a month, dipping as low as 23 degrees on one occasion. Students were forced to bundle up to avoid get- ting frostbite on their way to classes, and it was a common sight to see peo- ple take a spill on the ice which never seemed to melt. One hot spot in winter quarter was a concert featuring the chart-busting rock group Boston. The concert drew a record crowd of 11,200, but many were disappointed by the shortness of the show and the fact that entry into the Convocation Center was nearly a mob scene, since doors didn ' t open until a few minutes before showtime. Spring quarter also brought our second consecutive spring disturb- ance, as students once again mobbed Court Street on the last weekend of the quarter. Another confrontation between police and students resulted, and the event received national news coverage. And here it is — our senior year. Fall quarter was highlighted by the Halloween block party, which came and went without incident. Court Street was blocked again, but this time with the mayor ' s consent. The evening was filled with music, fun and a few weird costumes. However by 3:15 a.m., everyone was partied out and the cleanup crews began their work. In the sports scene, the football team was the maior disappointment as injuries throughout the season hob- bled the 1 10 Cats. The basketball team also failed to play with any con- sistency as the club hovered around Bill Wade the breakeven mark. Many excellent concerts were held this year as Alex Bevan, the Earl Scruggs Revue, Steve Martin and Gells performed to the delight of the student populace. Gary Wright also returned to the concert scene, but this time around, he was not received well, and many concert-goers left his per- formance early. Of course, the coal crisis had every- one talking, but very few people really did anything about it. That white stuff on the ground once again refused to disappear, and many people couldn ' t wait for that first green bud, for that first chirp from a robin, for those first real warm rays of sun. Naturally, this review has not cov- ered each and every event that occur- red during our stay here. Rather, this is just a brief time capsule to allow you to relish, if just for a moment, those events which in some way have affected your life while working toward that coveted degree. Bill Wade Dissent by freshmen over the university ' s dormitory visitation policy led to a sit- in at Boyd Hall in January, 1975. Oblivious to the crowd, an Athens partier parades down Court Street during the unofficial 1976 block party.
