And you can always hang out on the Monument and watch the crowd. Then there ' s Baker Center to take shelter in when it rains. Have you ever been in the 1804 Room? Yeah, and if you have work to do I guess you could go to Alden Library. Don ' t forget the big events too, you know, like Hal- loween, Sibs ' weekend, the indoor beach party and of course, Springfest.

They ' re all things students do What about getting real ly smashed and playing with a Ouija Board at three in the morning? Yeah, if you ' re into that. It could be a quiet evening at home in front of the boob tube or a Bible study or maybe even driving pizzas around town. Halloween and Springfest would fit under ' student life ' then. And so would Homecoming and Sibs week- end. Bingo! There ' s a lot going on here, so live a little! Student Life Divider I N 0l %ok what you ' ve done LOOK OUT BELOW! Chatting with friends below, fresh- man Rachel Rieber sits in her window. This practice was frowned upon by res. life staff members. Blindly waking to alarms; stumbling through a darkened room to keep from disturbing your roommate who was smart and doesn ' t have class until 10:00; grabbing a towel, your key and shower pail and running down the hall to avoid the 8 a.m. rush for the showers are all familiar activities when living in a dorm. Everyone of us has experienced life in a dorm, which is something like a cross between your old bedroom and a commune. You have a lot of inde- pendence, probably more than you had while living under your parents ' roof. You finally get to decide how to spend your time, as constructively or as wildly as you please. Wearing my flip-flops in the shower means a lot to me. I won ' t catch any foot diseases and it helps me cope with the first stall because people always throw-up in it. Keel Morris I ' ll give you a quote, after I go take a cold shower and stare at the slimy green walls in the bath- rooms. Sharon Cottrell Living in a dorm requires a major adjustments for the palate. Mom ' s home cooking isn ' t waiting on the table for you when you get home. Probably the only thing that is waiting for you is your roommate, who can ' t wait to go wait in line for dinner. You do, however, have a couple of hours to make it to a meal — Mom was never so lenient. When you ' re on the seven-meal meal plan, it ' s always interesting to see exactly what food your friends bring back to you! Greg Der I don ' t care what anyone else says, I like cafeteria food. The grossest looking stuff is always the best. Brenda Rios But, dorm life is great, right: You ' ve got all your friends around you all the time, or maybe they live just over the next hill. Everything you need is within walking distance, so it doesn ' t even matter if Dad won ' t let you borrow the car tonight. No one cares (except maybe your roommate) what hour of the day or night you come stumbling in. Living in the dorm is sort of a half-way house; it is a compromise between the security of your old home and the responsibility of running the place all by yourself. So after you ' ve lived in the dorms for two years, OU has determined that you should be of sound mind and body by this time and should be able to make good decisions. And even if this is a false assumption, dorm life is an ex- perience that you will not soon forget. I like living in Lincoln Hall, be- cause when I ' m drunk I don ' t have to worry about walking home — I can just roll down the hill!

T FRY BABY While living off campus, this student whips up some stir fry. A stove was one luxury off campus students enjoyed, but students weren ' t always excited about the prospect of cooking. WHEN I WAS A BOY ... Kelly Crow listens to her friend, Chris- tian Bunker, spin yarns on the front porch. Consensus held that houses were cozier than apartments. Living off-campus is cool. I never have to worry about how Oloud my music is and I can cook-out on my front porch while drinking a beer. Off-Campus — Jim Lynch 12 N Student Life ow look what you ' ve done VI It ' s finally here — the day when the God of Responsibility and Inde- pendence has declared you eligible to live off campus. A few yeats back, you said bye-bye to your childhood bedroom, and now the dorm life has lost its appeal. Lastly, the big guys at OU have accepted your 90 diligent hours of crass work and your new-fangled maturity as a sign: you ' re ready to take the big plunge into off campus living. You searched and searched, and have finally found the place that you and your roommates deem acceptable for habitation. Hastily signing the lease, you skip the fine print and try to avoid thinking about the serious- ness of this legal document. But no matter, because a lifeot independence is awaiting you on the other side. I think that apartment living has some disadvantages. We have to be more quiet. The last time we had a loud party, the police stopped by, and the landlord told us to cut down on parties or we would be evicted, commented Scott McKenzie, Jr. Senior Rick Bell quipped, Living off campus means having to take a few extra classes: Cooking 101, Cleaning 302, and Bill Paying 606. So far, I haven ' t flunked any of them, but I do have a few in- completes! Many students experience a brief period of irrational beliefs when they first move into their own place. This is expressed through the constant thought that one can do whatever he wants, when he wants, and how he wants. Your Mom isn ' t within an earshot when your dirty clothes occupy more than their share of space, and there are no RAs to tell you to stop doing what you ' re doing. And then, there it is, sitting in the mailbox. It ' s an envelope that re- sembles a bill, and you notice the way that your name has been typed so immaculately on the front, so as to avoid any mistake as to who owes money. Shocked, you have a terrible urge to call home to Mommy. This may be the moment when, suddenly, the responsibility of having your own place becomes terribly real. There is no one to hold your hand, to make decisions for you, to cook chicken noodle soup when you get the flu. Living of f campus is the best: you can be alone, have a quiet, romantic dinner for two, or have an all-out, 20-kegger until dawn, said junior Brian Matthews. Sophomore Marq Thompson com- mented, I think Athens land- lords need to lower rent. Anyway, all the beautiful women need to come and visit the ' Lords of Lakeview ' ! Fortunately, the art of establishing and maintaining an apartment or house becomes old hat with practice. One quickly learns the most impor- tant word in the off campus dweller ' s vocabulary — balance. This means having a lifestyle that averages out to moderation, even though you may party too much, or clean too little. With just the right amount care, it ' s not too hard to establish a happy medium. Living off campus is the only dress rehearsal before the real life event, so look back on it and know you made the most of it.

Many of those in attendance on Halloween night were students cavort- ing as Cleopatra, six-packs, the Flintstones, dominos, the Brady Bunch, not to mention many of the unmentionables. The party started around 8:30 pm, earlier than previous years, as balmy weather increased the an- ticipation of the biggest party of the year. We had a wild, wicked party on Church Street. The moon was full, our glasses were full, and the streets were very full. Now that this was my 4th Halloween, I was moving up and out of the street to a window. It was a wild dream, said senior Carolyn Kovacs. Mike Glickman, a senior, said, Halloween is a time to let loose and party. This year I had a severe case of psychosis. In other words, I was deprived of normal intel- lectual and social functioning, and partial, if not complete withdrawal from reality. A large portion of the streetgoers were from out of town. Many emi- grated to Athens for the weekend to visit friends and share in the zany £ festivities. Some partiers didn ' t know anyone in town, but it didn ' t stop j them from seeing if Halloween ' s reputation would hold true. Subse- ts quently, many dorms lobbies around campus were filled to capacity with I weary strangers in disguise. As usual, policeman and security officers had their share of business: a total of 92 arrests were made on Halloween night, a significant decrease from last year ' s 1 70. Ironically, only 28 of those arrests were OU students. Perhaps one of the reasons for the fewer amount of arrests was the un- seasonably mild weather that placated even the most unruly attitudes that evening. Senior John Rhodes commented, Halloween is always a great time for me because I look forward to walking up and down Court Street, checking out the strange costumes. One never knows what he will see. We had a keg party at our house; we went uptown briefly, but being a junior this year, the Uptown scene has lost its thrill for me, junior Susan Balster said. In the months and weeks leading up to the 31st, a debate went on be- tween the Athens City Council and the Mayor involving a change in the Halloween policy — closing Court Street legally for the event. Although the closing of the street was not made legal as of this year. The Clean and Safe Halloween Committee helped to make the 3 1st safer by organizing shuttle buses that transported partiers from parking areas at the fair- grounds to Uptown Athens. Fot those who were brave enough to tackle Court Street on Hal- loween, the wildest, eeriest, most hilarious party around continued its tradition for another year. Regina Long, an OU freshman, summed up Halloween appropriately when she said, It ' s the closest thing to a Mardi Gras ve ever seen: By Tammi McCune PUMPKIN BUGGY?

Student Life 15 IN look what you ' ve done The spirit of OU tradition was alive and well during the weekend of October 23-25 as alumni, family, students, and professors gathered to cel- ebrate Homecoming, 1987. The wide range of events offered throughout the weekend made it hard not to be nostalgic about the traditions that have become today ' s OU. The weekend began with a Homecoming Run sponsored by OU Alumni Relations. Everyone who finished the 5000 meter run received a certificate of completion; those who were more competitive raced to be a top-ten finisher, and the winners were awarded with trophies. Saturday ' s highpoint was the Homecoming Parade, sponsored by the University Program Council. The Marching 1 10, Greek organizations, local highschool bands, and Homecoming Pageant contestants all strut- ted their stuff in the festivities. And of course, the green and white musi- cians, along with the alumni band gave everyone a sense of pride and a feeling that some great things never change. The colors and the scent of the autumn air were a perfect setting for the float competition, in which Greek and non-Greek organizations participated. Cheryl McNutt, a Baker Center employee, said, The Homecom- ing Parade was a lot of fun. I was very impressed with the organiza- tion and planning of the event. I will definitely attend other events sponsored by the UPC. Jeanne Mancine, a senior, said, Even though our float didn ' t win, I ' m glad we participated. I made a lot of new friends and went to some really fun parties. As Saturday afternoon arrived, Bobcat fans geared up for the Home- coming football game against Kent State. Although OU suffered a dis- appointing loss, the enthusiastic crowd kept its spirit and support behind the faithful Bobcat team. The last of the scheduled events for Homecoming Weekend was the Homecoming Pageant and Ball. The event was sponsored by the Black Students Cultural Programming Board, and co-sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity and the Black Student Union. Senior Janice Young commented, I missed the game and parade completely because I was at Konneker Alumni Center selling yearbooks. Winson Pola, a sophomore, said, The parade was well-organized and the band was great, but we need lots of work on the football team. The Homecoming Pageant was originally created to raise money for the Blackburn-Spencer Scholarship Fund. Renita Magee was crowned Miss Black Homecoming Queen of 1987 for raising the most money for the fund. She and five other contestants raised more than $3,400 for the fund, which will be awarded to a black undergraduate who qualities acad- emically and financially. Homecoming ' 87 was a fantastic chance for young and old to gather and celebrate the traditions that have developed over the years, and to even form new ones that will be remembered in years to come.

Eng, ■ate Whatbarshould wehit tonight? Well, I don ' t know. Why don ' t we just do the Court Street Shuffle? This conversation can be heard just about anywhere on campus, and just about any night of the week. The Athens bar scene is a festival that does not discriminate day or night, weekend or weekday. But the word bar is almost deceiving, be- cause students go uptown for other reasons than to take their pick of the top shelf. The fact that Athens is just a small town in Southern Ohio is the bad news for all the big-city partiers. Unless one stretches his imagination to its fullest extent, the choices for entertainment on an average night are minimal. But, no one ever said they were non-existent, right ' Bobcats hit the bars because they offer a fun, carefree, let-loose atmo- sphere. The environment allows you to blow off steam after hitting the books or taking an exam. Students can chat, or challenge someone to a game ot pool. Or, they can dance their stress away or just kick back to their favorite music. The college of Athens personalities and the broad range of bars creates the student ' s perfect spot to unwind in whatever way one chooses. One reason that bars are usually packed is the fact that there are specials nearly every night of the week, which is especially appealing to a college student and his budget. Scott Rabinowitz, a senior, said, I think the CI is one of the best bars in Athens. Cheap furnish- ings, cheap drinks, and some of the best rock-n-roll on the jukebox makes it a great place to party. Sophomore Rick Piatt said, Uptown is really fun, the people are really friendly, and rarely do 1 return home sober or unsatisfied about the night. A big problem that bars had to tackle this year was the new drinking age. Students that did not make the grandfather clause when they were 19 will not be allowed to drink legally in bars. The Greenery counter- acted this problem by allowing underage students the chance to socialize without drinking. In the future the entire class of barhoppers will be 21 and over, but most of the bar owners don ' t seem to he concerned. Each bar in Athens seems to have its own distinct personality. There are dance bars, like the Greenery and the Nickleodeon, and then there are bars like the Crystal Casino and the CI that get their fame from cater- ing to many different tastes in music, drink, and a very casual atmo- sphere. Many bars get their tame from hosting bands that play on a regular basis. Oftentimes, the bands have a faithful following, and are guaran- teed a large group of fans every time play play. The bands in Athens each have a unique style, so students tind it easy to get attached to them. Mike Phillips, a senior, shared an inside joke about Events, Hey Joel Rudy, buy me another drink! Senior Byron Ward commented, On Tuesday night, Events is a re- laxing place to chill, even if the wings cost too much.

Student Life N OL %ok what you ' ve done OU attracted many speakers and performers to share their talents with the Bobcats during the 87-88 school year. Comedian Rich Hall, King of Sniglets, took center-stage Oct. 10 at Memorial Auditorium. As Hall took the spotlight, he chose to make light of many things in everyday life that he found ridiculous, peculiar or, in a sarcastic sense, just plain true. Opening for Hall were four of Mel Helitier ' s comedy class alumni. Comedian Steven Wright ' s appearance, on Mom ' s Weekend, marked the first sellout performance at OU in twelve years. Wright ' s odd humor was brought out as he paced back and forth across the stage, making ob- servations about life in his famous low-key, almost distraught manner. Sophomore Julie Young said, I really liked Stephen Wright be- cause he finds humor in things no one else does. Some of his jokes you really have to think about. My mom and I went to see Rich Hall. It was a great show, and a much better way to spend time with my mom and than going up- town would have been, said Heather McNaught. The Great Drug Testing Debate stirred up controversy on Feb. 23, when Peter Bensinger and Timothy Leary hashed out the issue of manda- tory drug testing. Bensinger, former head of the Drug Enforcement Agency, was greeted by scattered boos, while Leary, a former Harvard professor and spokesperson for the cultural revolution, was welcomed with a standing ovation. Bensinger blamed the federal government for not using its resources to fight drug abuse, while Leary argued that forced drug testing is a severe infringement upon American citizens ' personal liberties. By the time the debate ended, however, the crowd cheered Bensinger and taunted Leary. Keith Morris said, I went to the Timothy Leary-Bensinger debate, and my question is: is Leary really what he seems to be? To be wary of Leary is only to lear at the first of the new wave riders. You ' ll drown. stated senior Jim Lynch. Hopefully, the way was paved for future performances by the appear- ances of speakers such as: Governor Richard Celeste, Nobel Peace Lau- reate Elie Wiesel, Robert Owens, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Ramsey Clark and photographer Duane Michaels. I had to go see Ramsey Clark for my news reporting class. I thought his speech was very informative, but a bit dry, said Ross Bonifield. Junior Teri Burkhart said, Elie Wiesel was one of the most com- pelling speakers I ' ve ever heard. I learned the importance of learning from the past and not hiding our faces from the future.

International Week • m If  M £ N ou; Ioolt what you De done WANNA DANCE? A crowd gathers to watch a group of students perform a traditional Chinese dance The street fair ran from 10 to 4 on May 21 . Athens had the whole world in its hands just for a day as the 7th An- nual International Street Fair took over Court Street. More than ?0 student organizations and 80 nationalities were repre- sented in the collection of native food, dancing, costumes and crafts. Alan Boyd, director of international student and faculty services, said about 900 people attended the 6-hour fair. The fair was the culmination often days of events during International Week. Many foreign student organizations sponsored festivities that were an attempt to inform and enrich Americans about the culture and tradi- tions of other countries around the world. Senior Dawn Strahler commented, The International Street Fair brought culture to Athens. It was exciting to watch the different countries perform their native dances. I teel the fair offered a potpourri of things for people of all races, creeds and religions. I found the event to be fun and exciting, said senior Dell Robinson. International Week opened with the Indonesian Food Festival, sponsored by PERMIAS — Indonesian Students Association, which featured native food, a slide show, and dance. Ticket sale proceeds were donated to the Athens county Children ' s Services. The Muslim Student Association sponsored an Islamic Center open house to create better communication about the Islamic religion. The open house commemo- rated the Muslim holy month, in which a partial fast is observed, followed by a sampling of Muslim food. Paintings, books, crafts and stamps were displayed at the Chinese Cul- tural Exhibit and Sale, which was sponsored by the Chinese Student and Visiting Scholar Club. India Night featured songs, folk dances, a slide show, and as a special treat, a dramatization of an Indian Wedding was performed. Darwin Loftan, a sophomore, com- mented, It was really enlightening to see things of a different culture being displayed here at OU. The International Street Fair really showed the diversity and pride of OU ' s international students. Senior Regina Randall stated, I thought it was extremely interest- ing and I learned a lot. You get a real sense of the world when you are around all of those different nationalities. You want to be like them and experience their world. The African Student Union put on a dazzling display during its African Cultural Show. Members performed an ancient war dance called Sibaca, which was once a ritual in Swaziland to excite warriors before battle. Today the dance is purely athletic and is performed in competition an- nually. Despite a brief shower that cleansed the fair and all its participants, the day was a perfect opportunity tor Athenians to experience other culture ' s traditions and beliefs in a very authentic way. Each year, International Week festivities bring the diversity of the world ' s cultures and its people a little closer together.

The University Program Council offered many activities to please even the pickiest sib. As the sib ' s busses arrived at Baker Center Friday, an artist was on hand to draw their caricature, while refreshments where being served in the lobby. The OU Bobcat and Bobkitten were available for a photo session, and as a special souvenir, Sib ' s Weekend ' 88 shirts were sold. — D. Engle I bought my 15-year old sister a bottle of cheap wine and got her really drunk, says Marilee Morrow laughing. But seri- ously, it was a great chance for us to catch up with each other. Freshman Tom Hampton said his sister had a lot of fun . . . we went to a hockey game and I showed her around campus. She saw where everyone hangs out and got a feeling for what this place is like. The UPC sponsored Puttin ' on the Soaps at Memorial Audi- torium. Students and their sibs could meet two popular soap opera stars and learn about their careers. Saturday night the International Food and Fashion Show was held in the Baker Center Ballroom. The Black Student Cultural Programming Board sponsored a Variety Show in the ballroom, and several dorm councils held games and awarded prizes to the winners. Many of the uptown bars opened their doors to sibs my stamping them underage. For many sibs, it was their first real taste, (no pun intended), of OU ' s infamous bar scene. Freshman Michelle Liberatore was dismayed by the outrageous lines to get in — my favorite places were in- credibly overcrowded and there were little people everywhere drinking alcohol. Freshman Andrea Cuttara agreed that Sib ' s Weekend was a lot of fun. It was a great chance to spend time with my sister in a different environ- ment without worrying about mom and dad. The West Green Council sponsored West Vegas Night Saturday evening. It featured an auction, prizes and gambling so students and sibs could sample the wild life of Vegas. One dollar in real money could be exchanged for $400 in play money to gamble at the tables. Although the financial risks weren ' t nearly as great, the money that was raised will be used to support future West Green events. The council provided virgin drinks, so the underage members of the crowd had an alcohol-free alternative. The Frontier Room also dealt with the weekend ' s younger partiers by holding a non-alcoholic Happy Hour Saturday night. Overall, Sib ' s Weekend was a great success. Even though many brothers and sisters head off to college at one time or another, there ' s no reason why sibs can ' t maintain the closeness that they ' ve always shared. As Paul McCartney said, Let ' em In ... to your life. Qstendorf BUS STOP Waiting for his bus to take him home, D.J. and his older sib sit and talk on the wall. D.J. was not yet in high school. Student Life ow look what vou ' ve done Question: What has 25,000 sun-drenched partiers, long beer lines, a multitude of ' tie-dyed t-shirts and the Outlaws? Answer: a giant hash fondly referred to as Springfest ' 88. Even though clouds hovered over the area early Saturday, May 14, Mother Nature came through by the time Springfest had begun at 1 1 a. m. and filled the Mill Street intramural fields with bright sunshine and Florida-like temperatures. The day ' s entertainment proved to be quite a crowd-pleaser. Local bands warmed up the spectators and by 1 p.m., things really picked up with the start of beer sales. All in all, 285 kegs of beer were sold, somewhat less than the previous year. This was due to the raising of the drinking age to 2 1 , much to the disappointment of many younger party- goers. Sophomore Gina Tabacchi and fellow Atkinson Hall resident Julie Buscani created a huge tie-dyed sign that read, Springfest ' 88 . . . Welcome to the Jungle. The sign hung from their third floor South Green windows to welcome guests to the one of the biggest, wildest events of the year. Tabacchi commented, We felt ' Welcome to the Jungle ' would be an appropriate phrase for the occa- sion. Tammy O ' Brien, from the Uni- versity of Toledo, said, It was everything we hoped it would be — sun, fun, and lots of suds! Springfest grossed over $40,000, enough to pay the bands and bills, with enough left over to start next year ' s fund. The money situation was less than desirable; the Springfest committee had to deal with student apathy, and criticisms from students that were addressed in the Post about last year ' s band Little America. A large chunk of the money had to be taken out to repair equipment of the band that played at the Beach Part, after sand was thrown at the group in protest of their folk style. Springfest chairman Matt Wyler stated, Most of the money was raised from beer sales, but we made a lot from wrist tickets and the ' Fest Store selling buttons, cups, and t-shirts. Everything went off like clockwork. Sophomore Bill Kast said, I started drinking at 1 1 a.m. and didn ' t stop until 7 p.m. We partied like there was no tomorrow, and kept running into old friends. Fortunately, a better-organized Springfest resulted in only a few minor problems like sunburn and the confiscation ot fake IDs. Dean of Students Joel Rudy noted that Springfest was more pleasant to look back on thanks to the lack of on-field arrests and crippling back and neck injuries result- ing from dives into the Hocking, as in past years. After the beer lines were void, and the reggae band I-Tal finished off the evening, a tired, drunk but good-natured crowd scattered away. Soon, the darkness would come and Springfest ' 88 would become just an- other blurry memory in everyone ' s minds.

Schetferer • ' kl u i N look what you ' ve done While big-city Bobcats may say there is nothing here in Southeastern Ohio, nature lovers know differently. Ohio, and especially the Athens area, is full of lush forests and rippling lakes, and offers the perfect get- away frof the studying blues. State parks in the area are open year-round, and are easily accessible by car, bike or on foot for the more adventurous. Throughout the year, hun- dreds of students flock to the parks to hike, fish, swim, or simply to enjoy the natural scenic features of the area. Wintertime brings freezing tem- peratures, but does not keep students from taking advantage ot the terrain as they ice-skate on Dow Lake at Strouds or practice sledding techniques on a mountainous hillside. Maureen Robertson, a junior, said, Evrey spring, my room- mates and I go to Old Man ' s Cave. It ' s a great place to go hiking and forget about studying — in more ways than one. State Parks in the area are beau- tiful places to go to relax after a hard week of classes. The lakes at Strouds Run and Lake Hope are great for swimming or canoeing, commented junior Elizabeth Par- rish. The most popular spot in the area is Strouds Run, probably because of its proximity to campus. It becomes a haven for overheated students when the temperatures soar. It ' s also not a bad substitute for those who couldn ' t quite make it to the sunny coast for Spring Break. Come spring quarter, Strouds becomes the number one place to party, socialize, and catch up on a tan or some recreational fun. Hocking Hills, just southwest of Logan, is also a favorite of many students who like to break away for the weekend and do some camping or picnicing in the primitive outdoors. Thanks to an increase in hiking and horseback riding, more trails have been developed in the past few years. Special weekend events are sched- uled throughout the year, and during the summer months, naturalists in- crease awareness of the great outdoors through nature programs. I was at Burr Oak State Park for a leadership retreat which was sponsored by the Black Student Cultural Programming Board. After the program was over, we partied ' til the break of dawn in our cabin, commented senior Cynthia Calhoun. Senior Curtis Bertschi stated, Southeastern Ohio is a cradle of state parks, and Athens is in the center of it all. They are one of the richest resources available to OU students. Some of my most mem- orable experiences of life at OU have been at the region ' s many- state parks. Some students felt that parks sometimes resemble the bar scene. People go there to flirt, relax and have some fun, and many find that being out in nature puts schoolwork into perspective. The consensus is that the books can wait: spending time with friends and soaking up the beautiful surroundings are good enough reasons for anyone to thank goodness for humble ' ole southeast Ohio.

Place: the lobby of Baker Center Student Union. Report: as the author surveys her environment from an obscure ben h in a corner of the lobby, she is quick to note the continuous cycle of traffic that passes by. Students clutching Jubilee cards anxiously wait their turn to take yet another stab at their bank account. Piano music watts in from 1804 Room, which commemorates the year that OU was founded. At the front desk, checks are being cashed, change is being made, and informa- tion is being passed on to the unknowing. Students carrying overflowing notebooks move up the stairs in leaps and bounds, on their way towards some extra-curricular destination. Tables that are strategically placed next to the front doors play host to a variety of student organizations promoting their cause. A glow hangs about the 1954 Lounge, which is the resting place tor many human forms catching up on some chat or their favorite soap. Some people gaze out of the giant windows, watching the sidewalk scene below. The telephones just outside of the room are always attached to a body, the only place in town where it doesn ' t cost anything to make a local phone call. The funny thing about all this activity is that it all took place on the first floor of Baker Center. Inside the brick realm of this building are a vast array of organizations and services that are related to OU. The John Calhoun Baker Center was named and completed in 1954, and was built with the intent of providing needed services to the students and the uni- versity community. Senior Dawn Strahler said, 1 commute from Waterford, Ohio and Baker Center is a place to go in between classes. 1 usually go to the TV room and wait, and I see the same people everyday. They finally redecorated the TV room; the furniture and the walls were getting pretty bad! Dina Eskridge, a sophomore, said, Baker Center is an exceptional place for students activities. The Sigma Sweetheart Club uses it for their meetings and also to set up tables for fundraisers. Most students come to Baker between classes to relax or sit around with their friends. Baker Center is often thought to be the livingroom of the university, according to Mike Sostarich, director of Baker Center. He explained that the building functions as a cultural, social, recreational, and education outlet, and allows for the interaction of faculty, students, and staff. Diversity is what Baker Center is all about. One can eat at Suzi Green- tree ' s or the Bunch of Grapes Room, or shoot a couple games of pool downstairs in the recreation room. On warm sunny days, the Frontier Room patio is a popular hangout for upperclassmen. The Post and the Athena both reside in Baker, churning out papers and yearbooks tor the entire population of OU. Edwin Johnson, a senior, said, I like Baker Center because it has a comfortable atmosphere that makes your day a lot nicer.

He also said that Los Angeles would he shaken by a major earthquake in May ot 1988. Well, that didn ' t happen, but a tot of shaking went on in other national and world events. In October of 1987, panic selling swept the stock market, sending the Dow Jones industrial average into a 508.32 tailspin, which was a percent- age drop nearly twice that of the October 28, 1929 crash at the start of the Great Depression. 1987 was a year of personal turmoil for some of the nation ' s most public figures. Oliver North, former director of the National Security Council, was questioned about his involvement in the diversion of funds to aid Contra rebels in Nicaragua. His congressional hearing was made a matter of pubic record as it was televised on the networks. Nancy Hawthorne, a junior, said, I hope the Phillipine ' s govern- ment announces the attic sale for Amelda Marcos ' shoes in the Athens News. Senior Jeanne Mancini com- mented, The Jim and Tammy Bakker scandal really sticks out in my mind. They had so many people believing that what they were doing with PTL was good. Millions of people ' s faith was des- troyed. PTL minister Jim Bakker and his wife Tammy Faye were scandalized when it became public that Bakker had slept with the church secretary- Jessica Hahn, who now resides in Hefner ' s playboy mansion. Ironically, Jimmy Swaggart, the minister who uncovered Bakker ' s indiscretions, was overthrown for the same reason. Presidential candidate Gary Hart ' s campaign was destroyed when it be- came public that he had been seen with model Donna Rice on the yacht, appropriately named Monkey Business. The United States Constitution celebrated its 200th birthday in 1987, while the Golden Gate Bridge marked its 50th birthday during the same year. Superman, the chatacter, also turned 50 years old in 1988. In December, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed a missile treaty and vowed to work for greater weapons reduction. Tom Sikora, junior, commented, Senior Dawn Strahler said, Is Should Jim Bakker be allowed to Elvis Presley really alive? So many keep the mineral rights to people still believe he is. Will he Tammy ' s face? ever rest in peace: The nation and the world was turned upsidedown by the recent AIDs scare, which was thought to have begun in the homosexual and drug abuser ' s community.

ScheUerer Vi f i The subtle rivalry among members of the Greek system brought lots of good-natured competition to Greek Week ' 88, which took place May 8- 13. Inspired fifty-seven years ago by OU alumnus George Lasher, Greek Week is an annual event at OU as well as other colleges nationwide. The week began officially on Sunday with afternoon sporting events at Peden Stadium. Greek Week ' s slogan, Let the Games Begin seemed appropriate as about 1500 of the 2000 Greeks on campus showed up to watch or participate in activities such as pyramid building, spoon weav- ing and water sports. For the week ' s events, teams consisted of a paired-up sorority and fra- ternity that battled it out against the others. Points were accumulated as sororities and frats attended mandatory meetings, participated in a blood drive or various other events. Extra points went to the winners of com- petitions and were tallied throughout the week to determine the grand winner of the entire Greek celebration. Laura Cohen, co-chair of Greek Week, said that the aim of the week was to, unite the Greek system in a friendly competition of events. Julie Keck, a member of Phi Mu, found her jaunt down the scenic Hocking, very fun. I didn ' t really even mind getting filthy dirty. Boat races were the center of Monday ' s focus. Participants in the races designed their own boats for a 200-yard float down the Hocking River. The team consisting of Beta Theta Pi and Alpha Omicron Pi members walked away with a first-place finish in the event. Tuesday served as a breather for the Greeks, who kept up the spirit by sporting their letters. Wednesday ' s highlights included speaker Ed King, a Sigma Chi alumnus of OU, and the Greek Sing at Memorial Audi- torium. Laurie Schroeder, a Sigma Kappa, found that trying to stack empty beer cases was kind of hard. You had to worry about the wind and which direction it was coming from. Greek Week is a time when fra- ternity and sorority members unite and celebrate, the fact that the are Greek, commented Doug Brown, co-chair of Greek Week. Thursday ' s air band competition rocked Mem Aud as the Greeks tested their lip-sync talents. Selections ranged from Bob Marley and the Wallers to Expose to the Blues Brothers — and everything in between. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon frat and Chi Omega sor ority team snagged first place with their jazzy, well-choreographed production. The Friday Games marked the closing of Greek Week competition.

Student Life N 0l %oJc what you ' ve done East Green Weekend was the last, but not the least of the annual Green parties, although an overabundance of drops from the sky put a damper on the event. Friday night ' s festivities began with the East Green barbeque, while local and regional bands revved up a crowd that refused to give in to Mother Nature. A scavenger hunt began at 6pm Friday and would last until the next afternoon for the mischievous members of the bunch. From a financial point of view, East Green Weekend was only mod- erately successful. A rash of counterfeit beer tickets — beer sales being the primary money-maker — lead to a free ride for some and a visit with the judiciaries for the not-so-lucky. Teresa Copeland, a junior, said, East Green Weekend was the most organized I ' ve seen yet, and the music was the best. I could hear it all over campus after I left. Everyone I knew had a real blast. Kenny Suit, a grad student, said, East Green Weekend was very re- laxing — a really nice time to get away from the books, eat a juicy watermelon, listen to music and talk with friends. I loved it. Many students invited their friends down to share in the fun, while for others the weekend was just the last stop in the annual month of Green parties. Many commented that the quality of the performing bands was better than usual, and for most students it was a great reason to get outside and let loose to lots of music, food, beer and friends. In earlier years East Green Weekend was the second Green party, but this year was different. East Green Assistant Coordinator Penny Schafer commented that the council voted to change the date. They chose the weekend after Springfest in the hopes of having some warmer weather. West Green Weekend, alias Mom ' s Weekend, was an all-around suc- cessful event. While the amount of beer kegs sold dropped drastically from 39 last year to 12 this year due to the new drinking age, the event was essentially a break-even operation, according to West Green Council Treasurer Tim Vereb. The weekend had something for everyone as the infamous Treudley Squares, air band competition and squishy Jell-O wrestling all contrib- uted to the delight of the crowd. Bands playing their tunes were The Sell- outs, Chapter XIII, Triple X, Outcrowd and Voyager. Comedians kept everyone on their toes between acts. Senior Derrick Towns commen- ted, I thought the weekend was a very successful event. And the bands weren ' t bad considering one of the drummers is a good friend of mine! Senior Heath Hamilton said, the music was fantastic. I couldn ' t be- lieve the quality of the bands — that ' s what made the weekend most worthwhile. As West Green Weekend coincided with Mom ' s Weekend, there were many down-to-earth things happening around campus. Comedian Ste- ven Wright carried on to a sell-out crowd, while the International Film Festival was a treat for students and moms alike. The 9th Annual Athens Antique Fair was held at the Convocation Center and provided a nice escape from the warm weather. As usual, partiers left the weekend feeling satisfied until the next week- end would come around and the party would begin again.

Twenty-one vendors fed and quenched everyone ' s thirst with pizza, icees, shish- kebobs, lemonade, elephant ears and lots of beer. More than 50 kegs of beer were sold, and the weekend raised about $2500 in profit money to be used as the start of next year ' s fund. Nick Cifaldi, a freshman, commented, It was alright.

Sthettere, Student Life Magazine Cover J7 i ' Life ' s a Beack ▼ TWO HUNDRED TONS of sand: enough for students to stand ankle-deep in the stuff drinking beer, eating pizza, playing volleyball, or even dancing. Two hundred tons of sand was imported to create a beach in Bird Arena for the annual beach party to raise money for Springfest. The sand was followed shortly by an equal amount of students all dreaming of beachcombing or bopping to the tunes. The tunes were provided by The Flamingos fol- lowed by the Washington Squares who played a punk- folk type of music which was liked excepting by a few drunken students who decided the best way to show their disapproval was by throwing things. When a handful of sand hit the band, they refused to finish the show (which is understandable) and the party was cut short. An unfortunate end to a night at the beach. Getting ready for the beach party, students shovel sand into wheel- barrows to be taken into the rink. Later the party slowly fills with excited students ready for a night on the sand. PROTEST Though the 80 s would not be labeled a decade of pro- test, protests on campus none- theless took place this year. The reasons were many from pro- tests of U.S. foreign policy ob- jectives to rallies in support of an out-going TCOM professor, O.U. students expressed their dissent. Due to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Palestinian uprising had resulted in many deaths. The Muslim Students Association showed their sol- idarity and support for the dis- enfranchised Arabs in the occupied territories and those murdered in protect of U.S. support for Israel and its pol- icies. Other protests include the ever-familiar Athens Peace Vi- gil, rallies supporting dismissed TCOM Professor Howard Frde- rick, a near strike by O.U. Housekeeping, and the regular activities by Students for Peace added to the small but strong activism at O.U. D.

It was used as a meeting place before heading uptown; and as a place to finish off the burrito from the buggy across the street or the ice cream cone from The Lollipop. It was also, and most commonly, used for meetings of all kinds like the one that Tom Fury and Dave Toth enjoy as they discuss the day ' s events.

Midnight, July 31 , 1987, the state of Ohio put into effect a new drinking age law staing that one must be 21 or older to consume alcohol in Ohio. Because of the grandfather clause all those who were born as of that date are legal to drink beer, but must wait 2 years before they can drink other types of alcohol. How has this affected campus? First, all freshmen dorms are dry. Secondly, campus programs have provided alternatives to events that serve alcohol. West Vegas Night, held Sibs ' Weekend, served free virgin drinks instead of beer. University officials expect that all campus activities will be alcohol-free in a few years. So far, not much has changed uptown. Some bars have made changes to adapt to the new law, allowing minors to enjoy the music and dancing as long as they don ' t drink. Dana Hilliker said, I ' m glad they made the grandfather clause because it wouldn ' t be the same if you couldn ' t go uptown at times like Halloween and Springfest. Many freshmen, however, are upset about the new law, feeling that they are missing out on the uptown action. lt J 4 Hel p! My hair is stuck in a d ead per- son ' s head! — Trisfia Nelhers — D.

Taiberi LETTERS TO THE EDITORS To The Athens News: Russell Gerfel ' s recent letter deploring Sandinista censorship of Nicaraguan media may have appeared superficially convincing upon first reading, but with closer examination reveals a blissful and near-total ignorance of the controversy ' s historical context — a myopia, I might add, all too typical of those sharing Mr. Gerfel s political biases. For the record let us review a few facts, shall we? (At this point the letter traces in consider- able detail, the history of the Sandinista government since 1979. Writer cites Chomsky, Guevera and Rousseau in foot- notes.) In closing, I can only express hope that News readers will refuse to be deluded by this sort of paranoic com-symp bashing and American- love-it-or- leave-it-ism represented by Mr. Gerfel ' s pathetically misinformed and reactionary rantings, and will continue to display solidarity with besieged and struggling social rev- olutionary movements among our Central American brothers. Dan Soysage, Somewhere in Meigs County To The Post: In regards to Eric Artgeek ' s review of the new Whitesnake album, I want to re- spond on many points and would like to know who made you an expert, Mr. Art- geek? You wouldn ' t know good music if it bit you. First off as to Whitesnake being, as you so cutley put it, Led Zep clones; for your information, which you probably didn ' t know, Webster ' s Dictionary de- fines clone as — and I quote — a group of plants all of whose members are directly descended from a single indi- vidual as by rafting or budding. So you ' re saying that the guys in Whitesnake are plants, and therefore displaying your ignorance in not even looking at the cover where you can see that they are not. In- stead they ' re totally talented individuals expressing themselves through their music and how they dress and stand. Second, you are obviously a jerk who just wants to put people who have a good time down and only listen to bands nobody ever heard of that have two swishy English guys that are sad about nu- clear war or something stupid like that.

He also strongly encouraged and required the audience to join in singing or often giving them per- cussion instruments to play. He played at the monument for most of two days and also gave a performance at MacSweeney ' s. Walking across College Green, he could be heard from farther away than Galbreath Chapel holler- ing at the top of his lungs the words to some campy folk song, and was always surrounded by students.

Yes, believe it or not, it is possible to go to this wonderful university without ever seeing this lovely town. O.U., like most universities has regional campuses: a total of five regional campuses in Ironton, St. Clarisville, Lancaster, Chillicothe, and Zanesville. Most of the time students that graduate from O.U. do spend at least a quarter here in Athens, although the regional campuses are very popular with students who can ' t afford university housing and live too far to commute. In addition to the convenience of the regional campuses, they also allow students a greater opportunity to work. While there are only a limited number of jobs available to students here on a regular basis, at a regional campus students can get a job that will last more than just the school year. Despite the popularity, to some, of the regional campuses, most students would agree that there ' s nothing quite like attending the real thing — Athens, and living in a dorm and going uptown with roomies for drink and drown at the Cat ' s Eye. OiAiUt O.U. Road Warriors Going away for the weekend helps you forget about the books and thirik about yourself.

Ohio. Most road trips involved visits home or trips to con- certs. Students managed to talk their way out of taking a quiz the day after the U2 concert in Cleveland and road- tripped up there for the show. So if your homework is done, and you got out of that quiz tomorrow — hit the road! BONG! Walking across College Green at noon the chimes in Cutler Hall serenade students uith the Alma Mater.

YUM! ▼ T Super-elastic ▼ Prophylactic, birth control device, love glove, rubber, scum bag, rain coat; that ' s right those are all those silly, sometimes rude, slang for the CONDOM. Virtually every O.U. student who has sex, has sex with a rubber. Quickly becoming the most popular birth control device since the onset of AIDS, the condom is also one of the oldest forms of pregnancy prevention. It was first created 2000 years ago in China out of very thin bamboo grass. The name comes from Dr. Condom an 18th century physician in King Charles ll ' s court who provided a device made out of goat intestine for the promiscuous king. In the 1 840s it took a giant leap forward with the invention of the first seamless condom made out of rubber, and since has had a 3.3 1 000 failure rate. Here condoms are as popular as ever, with machines installed in restrooms (both male and female) in local bars such as Tony ' s. Although most guys really seem to des- pise them, condoms have been generally accepted as a necessity. So next time you or your mate pops on that English riding coat remember all the history behind that tiny piece of rubber.

It is the largest and oldest college, and otters the greatest variety of courses and programs. The college currently has 3,317 students. A student may select from among 27 majors, 45 programs which prepare the student for specific, career-related goals, and six majors that are arranged in conjunction with other colleges. 4 o. Where can students go if they are in need of special assistance or counseling? Each department in the College of Arts and Sciences has an undergraduate advising director who, with the help of other faculty in the department, provides academic advising and counseling to the students. Also, the Student Affairs Division of the dean ' s office gives special assistance to undecided students. They refer students that are seeking help to the appropriate advisors, help to resolve problems, and maintain the student ' s official graduation records. o — J. Talberi What special event is furthering the education of students in this college even more? On January 13, 1988, a $400,000 computer graphics laboratory was dedicated in Clippinger Hall. The laboratory contains software equipment that was donated to OU in a grant from Synercom, a Texas-based mapping software company. The lab will enable students in areas of geography, political science, sociology, anthropology, among others, to create elaborate maps with extensive research bases. The College of Arts and Sciences is a perfect example of valuable hands-on experience that puts OU grads a step ahead of the rest. By Sh ' ron lones SCHEDULING 101 Sitting on the floor of Chubb Hall, Joe Jennings makes out his spring quarter schedule. Most students also made up at least one altern- ative schedule. Academics 51 a a WTiaf are the goals of the College of Communication? The College of Communication is designed the meet the communications needs of a changing society. It meets those needs by training students for careers in journalism, telecommunications, voice and date communications, visual communications, organizational and interpersonal communications. The college operates on the belief that professional competency demands the highest possible proficiency in the chosen field of specialization. What makes the College of Communication such a highly respected school throughout the country? OU College of Communication is probably a highly re- spected school because the student who graduates from OU not only has gained Book knowledge but hands on experience. The college faculty teaches the student what he she needs to know to work efficiently and com- petently in the communications work force. What attracts students to the College of Communications here rather than some other university? One major drawing factor is the E.W. Scripps School of journalism. It is one of only two schools in the nation with an accredited undergraduate sequence in advertising, public relations, news writing, editing, magazine jour- nalism, photojournalism, and broadcast news. Another reason may be the practical training one can receive by working on the university operated cable channel, the all- campus radio network, and the stations WOUB-AM, WOUB-FM, WOUB-TV. Whatever the reason that attracted the student to OU he she can be assured that he she has received the best education available in communica - tions. 52 Academics Lashing Out Students study the quiet atmo- sphere in the Lasher Learning Center in Scripps.

' 54 N Academics rrrrr f Why is the College of Fine Arts considered a Jk virtual extravaganza of culture? A As the center for the schools of dance, theater, art, | film, visual communications, and comparative arts, the college is the home-base for the front-runners of culture at OU. In the future, the students who emerge from this college will be the musicians, dancers, tilm-makers, actors, and painters whose work will define or perhaps transcend the times. a How does the college encourage individuality yet maintain the fundamentals of a specific art? A The basic skills and techniques which underlie any |form of art must be enforced and mastered before an artist can develop his own style. Individual growth and professional guidance should be balanced so that the artist can produce his best final product. This delicate balance is successfully maintained by the College of Fine Arts. They let you develop your own best talents, says senior Don Drennan, and they don ' t compare your work to other students. Grading is based on your individual progress. Sophomore Todd Yuzwa likes the way they don ' t enforce their own ideas on your work. The faculty is very enthusiastic and they strongly encourage independent study. However, he adds, they need more funding. a What kinds of progression are taking place in the College of Fine Arts? J. S:heHerer 4 The college presently offers over 100 courses in dance, theater, music, studio arts, film, comparative arts, and the theory and history of arts. The college is receptive to change and experimentation, which can be seen in the enactment of new programs and policies. It sponsors such programs as the Athens Film Society, the Trisolini Gallery and the Chamber Music Society. By Jody Ostendorf Academics l)on d a. Kk«v ? 4 a By Michelle Mihalick What areas of study are contained within the College of Engineering and Technology? A student can major in electrical, chemical, mechanical, industrial or civil engineering. The college also trains students in the field of aviation technology. What are some of the career opportunities for a graduate of this program? A student who wishes to build a power plant, discover a new use for solar energy, construct a highway, find a rem- edy for air and water pollution or design an artificial heart will have the ability to do so after completing the rigorous training in this college. What recent event allowed the College of Engineering and Technology to expand and improve the curriculum? Thecollegewasthe recipient of a multi-million-dollar en- dowment from the late C. Paul Stacker and his wife Beth K. Dr. Stacker was a 1 926 graduate in electrical engineer- ing. The endowment was designed to support advanced faculty research, equipment purchases and student schol- arships. Where can students find extra training to supplement their studies? The Avionics Engineering Center, initiated in 1963, allows students to work on projects supported by NASA and the FAA. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic En- gineers, or IEEE, also supplements students ' education. David S. Mclntyre, president of IEEE, stressed the impor- tance of this nation-wide association by saying, IEEE allows the student to bridge the gap between academia and industry.

Led by Dean Michael Harter, the college contains the schools of Health and Sport Sciences, Hearing and Speech Sciences, Home Economics, Nursing, and Physical Therapy. What areas can a student enter after graduating with the experience gained in the College of Health and Human Services? There are a variety of fields open for a student with an education in this college. Students are required to take classes ranging from Introduction to Leisure to Chemistry 101, depending on one ' s major. This broad education may lead a student to a career in fashion merchandising, recreation, physical educa- tion, or nutrition, for example. How has the College of Health and Human Services helped students on a personal level? A junior fashion merchandising major found a way to combine her educational areas. She said the most interesting p art of her education at OU has been sewing my own clothes to wear, and learning to speak French so I can someday work in Paris. The College of Health and Human Services provides education in so many areas that are crucial to today ' s society and its people. It will train students for careers dealing with families, sports, medicine, nu- trition, and many others that all share a common de- nominator — people. Academics !• ' !.•■c D Ota lWv T 4 By Lori Fuqua What is the history of the College of Business Administra- tion? xesently one It is presently one of the most competitive colleges in OU ' s curriculum. The college ' s standards have increased tremendously since the first course was offered in 1893. Its outstanding reputation has evolved since the College of Commerce, established in 1936, became the College of Business Administration in 1 962. Since then, the col- lege has gained prestige by applying modern business techniques to its highly accredited programs. What does the College of Business Administration offer its students? The college offers fourteen different undergraduate de- grees as well as an MBA degree and an executive MBA program. The college is committed to offering students a high quality education to give them an advantage in the business world. Small classes and personable professors allow students to develop close relationships with those who are guiding them in their educational goals. This aspect of the college is especially important to freshmen and transfer students. When freshman Jeff Wolverton began meeting with his advisor, Tom Bolland, Jeff was undecided about his area of study. Tom has helped me out a lot. He ' s a cool guy and he gives good advice. Wolverton is now leaning towards Computer Systems in Business. How does the college prepare students for their future careers? The College of Business Administration trains students in all areas of business, as well as independent organiza- tions and governmental positions. Well-qualified under- grads can work on an internship at companies such as IBM, Merrill Lynch, or SOHIO. The college has a reputa- tion for turning out top-rate professionals. 6U School of Business SI 6.2 Education What is the philosophy of the College of Education?

Individualized attention between OU ' s profes- sors and the students in training is a key goal of the pro- gram. What type tion? of student is accepted into the College ofEduca- The college seeks students who are committed to the field of education and guide young people through the edu- cational environment. Students who choose the field of education are assumed to have done so because of a desire to share their knowledge with those people who are society ' s most valuable resource. What areas of education are offered through the college? A student may specialize in elementary, secondary or spe- cial education, as well as administration, guidance and counseling, supervision, higher education and early child- hood development education. What are the goals of the College of Education? The college wants to provide its students with a general background in education, intensive preparation in special- ized areas of study and a professional education that com- bines theory with actual applications. The college is accredited by the North Central Association, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Ohio Department of Education. An interstate reciprocity agreement allows graduates the chance to receive certifi- cation in 26 other states. Education 63 a a By Sh ' ron Jones What exactly is the Honors Tutorial College? It is a small undergraduate college that was designed for the specific needs and interests of high-ability students. The average enrollment of the college is about 150 students each year. What sets the college apart from other academic pro- grams at the university? The curriculum in the Honors Tutorial College was modeled after the honors programs at British universities such as Cambridge and Oxford. Many institutions have Honors programs, but few offer a degree. The key to the success of this program is the style of teaching. Students are tutored by full-time professors of the university, and benefit greatly from the one-on-one attention they receive. Are students enrolled in the Honors Tutorial College more likely to get jobs upon graduation? To date, the college has a 100% placement record for students entering the fields of law, medicine, and clini- cal psychology. Also, over 90% of HTC students con- tinue their education in graduate and professional schools throughout the nation, with fellowships or assis- tantships proving the rule rather than the exception. What event reinforced the excellence of the Honors Tutorial College? In 1984, Governor Celeste and the Ohio Board of Re- gents designated the HTC as a Program of Excellence in higher education. The college was one of 22 recipients selected statewide from an original pool of 131 aca- demic programs, and was awarded $107,000 to com- puterize Hoover House, an intensive study dorm. 64 Academics 7 65 J ' M - ' A, B, C, . . .

The college was founded in 1 935, and according to Dean Samuel Crowl, it was created in order to ease the transition from high school to college. The fac- ulty were discovering that the incoming freshman were un- evenly prepared for college courses, Crowl stated. f3k How is the University College serving the needs of OU students? KThe college is made up of two categories of students: exploratory and pre-professional. Explor- atory students are those who aren ' t sure which field they want to pursue. These students are given the op- portunity to examine several different academic paths be- fore choosing a major. Pre-professional students are usu- ally freshman and sophomores who are completing re- quirements before acceptance into such competitive areas as journalism, business or engineering. The University College is also home for students who are working on an associate degree, a Bachelor of Criminal justice degree or a Bachelor of General Studies Degree. a In what other ways does the University College aid the university? 4 One of the college ' s larger and better-known efforts is the sponsoring of the Pre-College program. The aim of the program is to acquaint incoming fresh- men and their parents with the campus, the university and also to take placement exams to determine Tier I require- ments. The college also coordinates the University Pro- -| fessor Program. Each year, six faculty members are chosen -§_ by students on the basis of their teaching merits. These pro- ifcj fessors are then given the liberty to develop and teach £; courses according to their tastes and talents. By Adrienne Lawson MAY I HELP?

The college was created in 1975 by an act of the Ohio Gen- eral Assembly. It was established to train osteopathic physi- cians to practice in areas that were underserved, medically. What makes this medical school unique? The College of Osteopathic Medicine is one of only a few osteopathic colleges in the nation. Admission to the college is very selective; only 1 in 1 3 applicants are accepted to the program. What is the philosophy behind the study of Osteopathy? The basis of the profession is how the health of the body and disease are related. Emphasis is placed on the cause of dis- ease as the failure of the body to function properly. Dr. Mike Patterson, director of research affairs at the college, com- mented, The ultimate ideal of the physician ' s practice is to maintain proper and optimum physiological body function. What kind of student training is emphasized at the College of Osteopathic Medicine? Students go through four phases of study, each one lasting about a year. The first two phases emphasize classroom study, and the last two phases focus on work in a clinical setting. The interaction between doctor and patient is stressed throughout the four years of study. In the com- munity, the college provides health care for surrounding areas through the Osteopathic Medical Center. Academics 6z 70 f -t a K By Erin Powell What is the mission statement for Ohio University? Ohio University is a public university providing a broad range of educational programs and services. As an aca- demic community, Ohio University holds the intellectual and personal growth of the individual to be a central pur- pose. Its programs are designed to broaden perspectives, enrich awareness, deepen understanding, establish dis- ciplined habits of thought, prepare for meaningful careers and, thus, to help develop individuals who are informed, responsible, productive citizens. How can we define administration? Webster ' s New World Dictionary defines administration as the executive officials of a government and their pol- icies. OU ' s administration is housed at Cutler Hall on the College Green, and there one can find the offices of the people who help make this university experience possible. What is the administration ' s role at the university? President Charles Ping stated, The reason students come here is to get an education. Our role is to make that educa- tion possible. Ping stresses that the administration pro- vides the settings and makes the occasions so that each stu- dent can get this education. The administration makes pos- sible the productive work of the university, and also helps direct institutional policies. It also manages a $236,000,000 budget, which comes from state grants, alumni contri- butions, federal funds, and student tuition. The members of the administration define some of theirown rules, but must work closely with others, from the Board of Trustees all the way to the students, to ensure that the university is in touch with its mission. Administration ;• h , ])on ChcL frWv r a How can we define faculty, first of all? Webster ' s College Dictionary defines the word faculty as the teaching body collectively of a school. At OU, the teaching body consists of a wide variety of people, people that come from different backgrounds and have different levels of training. An instructor of a course may be a graduate student, or he she may be a full-fledged professor with a PhD. a What kinds of roles does the faculty play in a student ' s education? First and foremost, the professors are teachers. They are knowledgeable in many different areas, and are specialized in a few. They attempt to pass their knowledge on to the students, so that they will be more enlightened about the world around them. The faculty also plays the role of a friend, advisor or tutor. They try to guide students in their academic pursuits. The broad range of classes in the curriculum guarantees that students will get a lesson in just about every field at one time or another. It also guarantees students the chance to experience the creative styles of teaching that our professors have. a What event singles out the outstanding teachers at our university? iL The University Professor program honors • outstanding professors. They are nominated by students, and are then screened by a 16-member undergraduate panel through classroom observations and interviews. This year ' s committee received more than 3,400 nominations, but only six professors were chosen to become elite professors. The winners of the award for 1988 are Ted Bernard, geography; Alan Booth, history; Michael Bugeja, journalism; Bruce Carlson, psychology; Steven Miner, history; and Donald Norris, mathematics.

Sports Divider 75 the way the BALL S0«N)C£5: FOOTBALL it was a close but no cigar year, said Coach Cleve Bryant when sum- ming up the 1987 Bobcat football sea- son. The Cats repeated their 1986 rec- ord of 1-10 and 0-8 in MAC play. But this season was different than earlier seasons, when ou was simply outplayed by their opponents. In this year ' s games, the Bobcats proved themselves worthy contenders. Re- viewing the season, Bryant added, When I look back, we had high ex- pectations, we played West Virginia well but they wore us down. Then we beat Marshall at home, a doggone good football team. We did establish that we could run and score but at the end it was disappointing. OU ' s offense was led by a freshman, Quarterback Anthony Thorton, who boosted the scores with a team- leading four touchdowns. Bryant feels this is just the beginning for Thorton. I have high expectations for Anthony. He is dedicated and ,_ knows what it takes to be great. He did an excellent job this year and can only get better. The defense was led by Doug Mangen, a well-known name here. Doug, whose older brother also played at ou, led the defense in tackles with 113, a whopping average of 10.2 per game. He has been a household name here, said Bryant. We will miss him — he is going to be hard to replace. The Bobcats sported a young team this season. They only graduated seven starters, which excites Bryant when he thinks of the future. We re- turn fifteen and they are all experi- enced and have taken their lumps; but now we have a solid foundation. Plus, they are all guys that l recruited; we have a better understanding of each other, we are going in the right direction! LISTEN UP!

The mascot is always from Lincoln Hall. L-E-T-S-G-O, that ' s the way we say let ' s go, ou, hey, hey ou. These words were chanted by an enthusiastic freshman shortly after OU ' S football team was de- feated. Despite the loss, Kathy Simons was delirious with excite- ment. Her faith was inspired by the energetic cheerleaders who succeed in bringing confidence to many Bobcat fans. Our cheerleaders and mascots are vividly present at every game. They cheer, jump around, and do amazing stunts for the enjoy- ment of the fans. The question is: how much do they get paid? The answers, of course, is nothing. To be an ou cheerleader is a privilege, and a lot of dedication is necessary. Their only compensation is the high spirit of the crowd, no mat- ter what the score. Lisa Catrett is a first-year cheer- leader; she has been cheering teams on since elementary school. Most of the time the players need a lot more support than they get.

As the crowd gathers at countless football an d basketball contests, their eyes are caught by the sight of a five and a half foot cute, cuddly Bobcat. The school ' s mascot, the Bobcat shakes hands, sits for photos, and leads cheers with the cheerleaders (although his voice is sel- dom heard). The mascot ' s job is shrouded in mystery, as no one really knows who the man behind the mask is. The Bobcat first appeared in the late 50s, and the legend has continued ever since. Year after year, one resident of Lin- coln Hall is chosen by the R.D. to bear the duties of O.U. Bobcat, the main responsibility being secrecy. So, next time you wonder who ' s bouncing around in the bobcat suit, look for your Lincoln Hall buddy who never goes to the games. 78 Cheerleaders Mascot PUT UP YOUR DUKES!

Altizer is field commander of the Marching 110, the talented and crazy group of musicians and flag twiners that performs at football and basket- ball games. The band, directed by Ronald Socciarelli, in addition to playing songs like Stand up and Cheer and Boston ' s Cool the Engines, ' dances and prances up a storm on the court and the 50-yard line. Why does this band possess such great talent? Because they work at it. Ten days before school starts in the fall, the members are out by the Hocking River practic- ing their moves in the sweltering heat of the sun. When the weather doesn ' t permit it, the band tunes their tunes in Cordy Hall and the Convo. The band does more than just CHEER play at half-time. The 110 has two Varsity Night performances in the fall to raise money for band ex- penses. Also, many of the mem- bers are in the University Band, an Athens stage-oriented ensemble. Something that never changes at OU is the respect and praise that is felt for the band year after year. Whether our team is a winner or a loser, the Marching 110 never fails to liven spirits.

The first time a jacket is worn to practice, it is given to an old man ' to be reconditioned ' to look like an upperclassmen ' s coat.

The Bobcat ' s depth has ignited a spark that is making coaches such as Central Michigan ' s Charlie Coles, nervous, I ' ve said it before, OU is going to get hot, said Coles before the March 11th tournament game held in Toledo. Though defeated by the Chippewas (64- 62), the Bobcats made a lasting impres- sion on Coles. Says OU coach Billy Hahn of the Cats performance this season, The team started out slow at the beginning of the year and continuously improved. Hahn, The Bobcat ' s second year coach believes that despite a fair share of loses, our ' Cat ' s have been playing remarkable well. This season ' s 16-14 mark may not look outstanding but the skill and the strength behind the scores was im- pressive. There were some great players out there this season. Leading scorer, Paul (Snoopy) Craham (10.2,5.3) made first team all conference honors while senior center, John Rhodes (10.9,9.4) earned second team honors, and prized jump- shooter Dave Jamerson (16.7,3.8) re- ceived an honorable mention. Before the awaited February 22nd game against Western Michigan, key star- ter, Dennis Whitakers ' participation at the Convocation center was looking doubtful. Whitaker had spent two days in traction after suffering from back spasms. Friday morning he was released and headed to practice then off to the Convo where he scored a career high 14 points and set a Bobcat record of 16 assists which helped lead the Cats to their victory over western Michigan (95- 87). Unfortunately the Bobcats were unable to make the NCAA Championships. Bow- ling Creen defeated OU in a tight game at the Convo in March, then went on to Toledo to battle Central Michigan, losing 64-62. A highlight for OU was the final showdown in Toledo against Eastern Michigan which was seen nationally on ESPN on March 12th. That final defeat (94- 82) prohibited the Cat ' s from making the NCAA or the National invitational Tourna- ment (NIT). Hahn was sorry that his pow- erful team hadn ' t made the tourna- ments.

Finishing the season with a 10-18 record, the Cat ' s most valuable player was out the last eleven games with a knee injury. Kim Walton, a senior, led the team in individual scor- ing, rebounds and steals. Out of those eleven games Walton missed, the team lost ten. Their season record, although not impressive at first glance, was remarkably stable con- sidering that the team was quite young and inexperienced. The start- ing team for most of the season was made up of two freshman and two sophomores. Coach Amy Prichard feels that the youth of the team will pay off in future seasons, and that the players gained a lot of experience by being thrown into stiff competition in their first years on the team.

The highlight of the season was the victory against Central Michigan in the MAC, where they were previously un- defeated with a record of 6-0. The Bobcats beat them at home by eleven points.

But what about the red-shirts? The red-shirt athletes are those that sit out one season of play, yet stjil practice everyday to achieve an extra year of playing eligibility. Athletes do this for a few reasons; an injury early in the season may prevent an athlete from playing the remainder of the season. This is the most common reason for red-shirting. It may also be done when a freshman is playing a position that is occupied by a junior or senior. Instead of sitting on the bench as an active and missing a year of play, the athlete can red-shirt and develop his skills while still having four years to play. Red-shirt athletes have a thankless job. They practice, run, and sweat like the regular players, but at game time, they are sidelined. Rick Hoffman was a red-shirted basketball player winter season. He was told he would be red-shirted when he was recruited by basketball coach, Billy Hahn, but felt it was a good idea. It depends on each person ' s situation, but for me it was a good idea because I get an extra year of physical development. After the season Rick still did not regret it.

As any sports team can tell you, fans are a necessity. Whether they fill the bleachers or are just a loud and faithful few, those fans are one thing that keeps the team going. In addition to the fans that flocked to Peden Stadium for football games and flock to the Convo for basketball games (not to mention the supporters at the baseball games, swim meets, etc.), there were always a few dedi- cated and loyal portable fans. These fans followed their favorite team as much as possible, from MVU to Muncie, Indiana. Supported by a faithful few or by half the school, the air of support from the fans kept some of O.U.

' ' - AAA Let ' s talk Sports Baseball ▲ ▲ ▲ A A A A A A When I say talk sports, I don ' t mean playing sports per se. It really wouldn ' t be right for me to pretend any expertise in that area, seeing as how my last participa- tion in organized athletics was in Little League baseball sometime around 1969, and my batting average was — I wish I was mak- ing this up, but I ' m not — .000. I don ' t recall ever even drawing a walk, which is not all that surpris- ing when you think about it. I mean, the pitchers didn ' t exactly have to concentrate on shaving corners of the strike zone when I was at the plate. They probably could have, had they really wanted to humiliate me, lobbed the ball underhand and sent the Kind of dull on TV, though not nearly so bad when you go to a game.

And that BernieKosar — hey, what a guy. I mean, just wnen it seemed like all pro athletes were arrogant, illiterate steroidal mutants who majored in Holding Out For More Money, along comes Bernie. He finishes up his economics degree in three years, signs with Cleveland for some modest number of millions of dollars, because he wants to be there! When interviewed after big games he thanks the Lord and his offensive line and says, Ifthereareno more questions I ' d like to take a shower now. I like Bernie so much that I didn ' t even much mind being told every Sunday for two seasons that he is YOUNGER than Vinnie Testeverde! (Someone should club Bob Costas into the fact that Bernie is always going to be younger than Vinnie, at least until one of them dies.) You know that really gripes my cookies, though ? Every member of the Chicago Bears, even the third- string most tackle, has gotten to do commercials for glamorous co- ' ogne-type products. And what does Bernie get to endorse? Elec- tric heat pumps. No kidding. And Clevelanders wonder about their city ' s image problem. Watching NBA games is a major depressant tc me.

With this kind of a start the soccer club shows little signs of slowing. 98 Sports Magazine KICKBOXING Athens was the home of the 1987 National Bando Kickboxing Championships. The event was a tribute to American, War veterans, and a ceremony was held at the start of the event to honor local veterans. Gov. Richard F. Celeste presented a proc- lamation to Maung Gyi, and Oil professor and the founder of Bando Kickboxing Club. The Athens-Glouseter Bando Boxing Club entered eight of the 32 local fighters, but there were also other participants from around the world. Five judges awarded points on a 10 point system. Although the fighters were amateur, they were divided into Novice and Senior divisions based upon their experience.

King said, Placing second in sec- tionals in Columbus was definitely a sea- son highlight. Although the group lost both regionals Spring Quarter, to Uni- versity of Madison in Wisconsin and Uni- versity of Missouri in St. Louis, they had some great teamwork and effort. Don ' t let the name men ' s team fool you, there are a couple of girls in the group. King said There was a women ' s team but it dis- banded due to lack of interest so we com- bined. Ultimate Frisbee, which began at OU around 1978, is a club sport sanctioned by the school. The team competes on a club level in the fall in a League with 1500 other United States teams, in the spring it com- petes only on a collegiate lev el.

Intramural sports gratify hundreds of students every year. With 17 different sports offered, some offered two or all three quarters, the intramural sports pro- gram has something for everyone, from billards and bowling to football and broomball. This year the popularity of intramural sports was evinced by 164 broomball teams, 160 basketball teams, 178 football teams and 306 Softball teams. The program would take more if it could, but there has to be a limit. Students lined up at 4:00 am to sign up their teams for baseball this year, Richard woolison, the director of intramural sports said. But the baseball program was limited to 16 teams. KHHiV I 00 Sports Magazine By Thad Plumley Usually, closed-off streets and a crowd of eight thousand people in Athens mean a crazy Halloween night, but not this time. The Athens Criterium took place Fall quarter, and attracted top professional and amateur cyclists from around the country. This year ' s crowd was the largest ever to watch the cyclilsts trek the one kilometer course. The group of riders included Olympic gold medal winners, Tour de France par- ticipants, past National Champions, and world Champion Cyclists. Senior Jennifer Smith said, It was fascinating to have professional cyclists from all over the U.S. here in Athens. I had never been to a pro- fessional bike race and it was a really exciting day to watch the race here in Athens. As expected, the pro men ' s and women ' s races provided the day ' s most intense competi- tion. The pro races were sixty kilometers long, which proved to be a challenge to many of the racers due to the summer-like weather, in the men ' s race, 1984 Olympic gold medal winner Alexi Crewal was the leader for most of the race, setting a staggering pace. But with only four laps to go, the heat and the grueling course forced him to drop out of the race. This enabled Tom Broznowki, a former Nabisco Mayor ' s Cup winner to sneak by and finish in first place, in the women ' s event, it was heavy competition throughout the race, as Saly Zack avoided a near- collision with Karen Bliss in the final sprint to win the race. Earlier in the day, seven other races took place before the main events. There were junior boys and girls races, and a veteran ' s race, and races for seniors, and junior men ' s women ' s races. The winning cyclists enjoyed the tough com- petition and a split of the $1 2,500 total purse. The uptown vendors also enjoyed monetary gains as they sold souvenirs of the race. With this kind of success it ' s hard to imagine the Athens Criter- ium becoming anything less than a tradition. LACROSSE The OU Lacrosse Team outdid itself this season pulling off an 11 -3 record. The team had no prob- lem emerging as the Eastern Division MCLA Champions, as well as taking the number in spot in the MAC tournament held here at OU. Head coach Jerry Shoemake said, I think this year was definitely a good one. Because we ' re a young team I ' m looking forward to betterthings next year. The Lacrosse team will be facing a dif- ficult season next year, due to an increase in the caliber of the opponents. Sports Magazine nor A 0 the way the ball S0WC€5 ; The men ' s and women ' s tennis teams had two very different fore- casts at the start of the season, but neither matched the predictions, as the men surpassed their ex- pectations and the women fell short of theirs. The women ' s tennis team came off their ' 87 season hopeful after placing third, but early season roster changes occurred with the losses of a couple of key players. This left the team young, but superb play by sev- eral freshmen enabled the team to rebound to 15-12 season over-all and a fourth place finish in the MAC reg- ular season. The men ' s team was also very young: six freshmen, one sophomore and one senior composed the team. But the talented group was able to pull off an excellent 18-11 record. They also placed third in the MAC reg- ular season and tournament. By Thad Plumley and Erin Powell The OU volleyball team finished their season with a 0-8 record in the MAC, and 8-13 overall. The team was led primarily by seniors Andrea Garner, Kerry Quinn and team captain Kelly Short, who had been starting on the team since their freshman year. While the women did not meet their goal of a .500 season record, the quality of their play is on the up- swing, and will hopefully be an ex- ample of progress that will be made in the future. Sports . 1 03 the way the TAP€ The men ' s and women ' s track teams were both held back from their fullest potential due to a plague of team injuries. The women finished their season with an 8th place finish in the MAC Championships and a 4-3 record overall during regular season. High points of the season included Anne Bolyard ' s third straight win in the javelin throw. She also set a new MAC record of 167 feet, 5 inches. Sophomores Tracy Meyer finished first in the 10,000 meter race, taking the title of MAC champion in that par- ticular event. Coach Elmore Banton felt that although the team suffered many in- juries, the new recruits and the re- turning runners ' experience would prove the team as worthy as the next. As for the men ' s team, Coach Ban- ton felt that the season was disap- pointing. A rash of injuries and other problems greatly cramped our per- formance. The team won four meets and lost five. They placed 8th at the MAC Championship with a disheartening 13 points. Throughout the season, the team ' s greatest problem was lack of depth, we lacked depth in everything except distance. When we lost someone, there was no one to back them up, Banton said. Minus the injuries, next season is looking up. By Tammi McCune and Erin Powell 104 x u_i YUCK!

The team finished in the last place of the MAC with a record of 7-24, but that figure is not indicative of the quality of the play that the women showed on the field. The Lady Bobcats lost 10 mac games by a painfully small margin of two runs or less. While the record is somewhat unimpressive, the team may have been one of the most im- proved at the close of the season. They won six of their last eight games. A lack of preseason games may have been part of the team ' s prob- lems, as this is an important part of preparing for the season. The Bobcat diamondmen were coached for the last time by Jerry France, who chose to make the 1988 campaign as his last. The men got off to a mediocre start, and never seemed to get their momentum going. By season ' s end, the team had a below average record of 22-35 overall and 11-21 in MAC play. The Bobcats problem may have been on the mound. At the end of the season, their final team e.r.a. was 5.64, one of the highest in the MAC. Ohio did out-hit their opponents .287 to .282. coach France commented, I ' m disappointed in our record, which is just no indication of how we played.

Oh, like Krogering and scrounging for electric bills and rent and stuff? Yep.

Back in the mid-70s, enroll- ment plummeted from 1 9,3 1 4 to 12,814. But since then, stats show that OCI is becoming known for much more than Halloween and Springfest. Fall enrollment figures indi- cated a total enrollment of 1 6,492 students on the Athens campus, an increase of 4.5 percent over Educational Excellence last year. This year ' s enrollment on all the OCI campuses rose from 22,840 to 23,007, which is due al- most exclusively to an improved retention rate. The number of freshman who return for their sophomore year has risen from a 1977 figure of 66.9 percent to a high of 78.7 percent in 1987. So for students who originally entered OCI with more than aca- demics on their minds, the uni- versity ' s emerging reputation as a quality school may come as a pleasant and comforting surprise.

It was a rather desolate picture. Little did they know that they would meet and form strong, per- manent relationships with people from all walks of life in just fou r short years. The college lifestyle offered hundreds of ways to meet people, whether they were roommates, classmates or just people who understood you. The old myth that marriage partners are found in college still held true for many students that crossed the path of love. The people that rolled you Friends are Friends Forever home from Uptown, the guy that screamed out in horror when you weren ' t wearing make-up, the girl that cried with you when you failed your first exam: They liked you, accepted you, changed you, and will always mean the world to you.

However, four years often turns into five. How so? The reasons are endless. Lisa Mariotti, a fifth year senior, said, 1 was a transfer student; 1 never changed my major. Five years seems to be the average, with the changing requirements. Closed classes, deficiency points, taking it easy, or worst of all, having your major require- ments changed can all contribute to an extra year of school. Many transfer students may lose credit hours because other institutions ' requirements don ' t match Otis. Senior Pam Harris stated, I ' ll be here five years because I changed my major at the end of my junior year. 1 felt my job opportunities were becoming limited. 1 think that professors and counselors should advise students on career opportunities in the beginning levels of all majors. Many students at OCJ have learned through experience that it is a necessity to know which di- rection one is going, or the five year plan may become reality.

Internships provide students with an insider ' s peek at their career field. They can broaden their range of knowledge and re- ceive invaluable hands-on experi- ence as well. Students will def- initely leave an internship with a much cle arer concept of the reali- ties of their fields. College has a strange way of hiding the true colors of a Working for Credit career, because oftentimes stu- dents are only reading about it — not doing it. Interns may realize for the very first time that people are actually out creating and computing, collaborating and communicating. Senior Mike Glickman, a tele- communications major, praised the benefits of his internship. My internship at Dimension Cable in California proved to be the most valuable experience of my career training. I learned things there that I could never have learned in college.

But for all the other graduates and their areas of study, the money situation isn ' t quite as encouraging. Graduates with math or sci- ence degrees can look forward to earning an average starting salary of $29,827, and will be the high- est paid grads. But on the other hand, broadcast newscasters can expect to earn only $9,809 start- ing out. A fashion designer will be earn- ing, on the average, $11,444, while an accountant can expect a starting salary of $23,272. Graduates in the various fields of engineering — nuclear, civil, mechanical, petroleum, electrical — will be eager to learn that they will be earning starting salaries in the $30,000s. While salary is an important as- pect of a job, it is only one factor to consider when rating total job satisfaction.

Collecting particles of history and packing them into 180 pages continues to be an ever-increasing challenge. Since we ' ve started this chaos, the book has gone through many changes. We changed it ' s name (back in 1975) to the Spectrum Green, because we thought it ' d be new and innovative, then we changed back to the Athena in 1984. because it was nostalgic. We ' ve also changed locations, been in financial trouble (more than once and battled the apathy of all of you who are not reading this copy. Now we bust our buns and have a ball to give you exciting coverage of stuff like Hal- loween, Homecoming,, Greek Week, Spring- fest, senior portraits, student organizations and all the other exciting things that happened this year. Of course we were plagued by these terrible things called deadlines that make yearbook people ' s lives a hell.

Athena Yearbook 14V The Post That copy of the Post you picked up each morning in the cafeter ia or Bentley Hall was the result of the work of over 100 of your fellow students. Each broadsheet page represents advertis- ing salespeople bringing in clients, reporters spending hours in front of computer screens, and most infamously, production workers watching the sun come up just to get the paper out on time. Whether you loved it, hated it, or loved to hate it, The Post is an institution in this town. As the only morning paper in the city, The Post has the responsibility to bring in the news for members of this Appalachia-isolated com- munity. We ' ve probably all seen a glassy-eyed stu- dent sitting in class, clutching a cup of Carol Lee ' s finest in one hand and a reporter ' s note- book in the other and figured, Yeah, that ' s a Postie. Like any other activity on this campus, working for the Post is a labor of love — not that a cliche can account for all that goes into producing an independent daily newspaper. But for many, it ' s an all-consuming passion. The payoff comes in the knowledge that one is a member of an organization which is repre- sented in newsrooms around the world. As much as they hate to admit it, Posties are like the members of a fraternity. They work, study and live together in the crowded Baker Center office complex, trying to pull in that banner story, or finding time to write the next term paper. Some might picture the journalist as the heartless automator, sitting behind a computer and never getting involved. In destroying that myth, the Post publishes the Post Holiday Wishbook. Each year, the book assists needy families in the area and helps make life a little more livable. That ' s just one of the biggest ways that the Post affects change in the community. Everyone has been touched by it at least once, and hopefully for the better. That ' s what the Post is all about. by Erin Powell 142 Fthem«sH 143 x HALL PATROL R.A.

Organizations 40 ALPHABET SOUP Television and radio broadcasting had a modest beginning at OU. In 1942, a six watt radio station began operating, serving only the university. Seven years later, WOUI-FM, the forerunner of WOUB-FM, aired its first broad- cast. In 1957, WOUB-AM went on the air, and soon after in 1963, WOUB-TV broadcast its first program. Students at OU have excellent opportunities to get practical experience before they go into the job market. The radio and TV stations of WOUB, as well as ACRN, allow students to learn about broadcasting news and music, as well as getting first-hand experience in their area of study. This training often puts students at an advantage when competing with others for broadcast careers. When asked what he felt was essential to quality programming, a WOUB staff member said, In order to have quality programming, all individuals that work together must coop- erate with one another unconditionally. The radio stations attempt to satisfy the needs of different types of listeners. Edgar Hariston, a disc jockey at WOUB, said 1 like the fact that they are trying hard to play music to suit the needs of all the listeners. ACRN is a radio station that broadcasts across the campus. It is run completely by students, and offers 24-hour entertainment as well as the chance for students to rune their skills in broadcasting. ACRN ' s format is basi- cally album-oriented rock with a progressive edge, said Kevin Schoolcraft, ACRN ' s pro- gram director. The station has carried such programs as Rock Line, via satellite from New York, and Rock Over London, a British pro- gressive show. The ACRN staff consists of volunteer students who get the best of both worlds: they get to be around music all the time, and they are also furthering their education by being in- volved in a broadcasting environment. ACRN participated in several charitable ac- tivities throughout the year. The station held a 48-hour marathon to benefit My Sister ' s Place, a shelter for battered women and their children. Two DJ ' s stayed on the air for 2 days straight, taking over-the-phone donations. The staff of the station also raised money for a wild, wacky Springfest ' 88 when they held a Re-live Spring Break Bash at the Greenery. The evening included extraneous events like best body contests, beer chugging and pizza ' eating contests. ACRN entered a contest to win a free concert from The Church ; their goal was to obtain more signatures than any other station participating in the contest. The practical experience that OU offers in broadcasting is ideal, for it c ombines fun with an atmosphere of learning. By Sh ' ron Jones and Tammy McCune 146 X • iw WOUB ACRN MR.

However, a bridge is also a means of connection and transition. There are bridges in our lives — intangible ones that we all must cross at sometime . . . crossing over from childhood to adulthood, from one occupation to an- other. College is a kind of bridge, Lewis, D Blackburn, F. Wardega. T Edwards. too — linking us through four years, to the future. In crossing this bridge, we may find it at times intimidating, other times challenging and exhilarating. But through it all, getting to the other side is the goal.
