Some changes were defi- nitely for the better, while others . . . well? Before you even arrived on campus, you probably saw the biggest economic addition to the city of Plattsburgh, the new Champlain Centre Mall. Connected to the old Mall (The Pyra- mid Mall) by name, this complex offers everything from the latest fashions and family department stores to an array of fast food restaurants and an eight-theatre cinema. Of course, it was a hit with the students. You may have noticed, as you drove around on campus, the steady upward climb of the new smokestack on the Central Heating building. Progress was also in the works at the Sundowner Cafe; a new atrium was added to create a more attractive dining area and increase eating spaces. On your way into the bookstore, you probably stopped in the new campus convenience store to buy a soda or a newspa- per. Unfortunately, you undoubtedly were a witness to what was occurring inside the bookstore; two-hour lines, reaching all the way to the back walls, were behind each computer- ized cash register. Or maybe you left the store and got in one of those collosal Add-Drop or Student Loan lines. But, you forgot about those inconveniences as soon as you attempted to park your car in your dorm parking lot. Very discouraging! And, maybe you walked into your dorm room only to find you have two room-mates instead of one. Of course, all this was easily put behind you, because there were other, more important things on your mind. Troubles drifted away as you headed down to the bars or bumped into an old friend. All the reminiscences and new friendships soon made your campus troubles seem absolutely forgetta- ble. Now that you had your perspective straightened out, you were ready to begin your classes, get settled into dorm or apartment life, and embark on an unforgettable college year.

There are alternatives to going downtown such as the Point Bar and off-campus parties, but according to the stu- dents questioned, all agreed that downtown gives a person greater varieties of atmosphere, sizes of crowds, types of people and drink specials. When asked what their favorite downtown hot spots were and why, students revealed some very interesting points. Tammy Wimett, a Senior at Plattsburgh confessed I like going to P.B. Finnans because they have free popcorn! I like Filions, stated Felicia DeSantis, a Junior, because I know a lot of people there. I like the music and Bionic Beavers. Rich Caprio, a Junior said, I like going to Filions and then to Woodstocks for the Midnight Buzz. I like seeing a lot of people, but sometimes it does get too crowded. I like Big Brothers, announced Tina Caswell, Junior, because I don ' t get hassled getting in. Tammy Smiddy, a senior, claimed, Since I ' ve been able to get in, I like Woodstocks the best because of the music and the crowd. Besides Filions, Big Brothers, Woodstocks, and P.B. Finnans, there is also the Royal, Monopoles, Peabodys, The Fourth Ward, Reflec- tions and Mothers. A student can choose between weeknight beer blasts, two-for- one specials, shots, buckets and pitchers of beer. Downtown cer- tainly is an interesting place to be on a Friday or Saturday night. Where else could students bump into so many people all at once? Downtown may have its ups and downs but there is one thing for certain: neither snow, rain, midterms or finals exams, can keep the Plattsburgh students from heading to the hot spots. Kama L. Richards Cardinal 1988 13 ho, in this world, does not love a carnival? Especially, one held by a bunch of fun-seeking college stu- dents and faculty members. It was very difficult to find a campus stu- dent or visiting parent who did not at least wander through the Campus Carnival held on Sunday, September 27th, at the Amite Plaza. People couldn ' t help but have a good time; all the students ' enthusiasm and the great weather made sure of that. From Moffitt Hall ' s Whack the Whiglet , to Banks ' Hall ' s Get Sarge to Punch Beatle Bailey , and back again to the Whiteface Womper ' s Smash the Can, We are swept along from booth to booth by the rampant carnival-mania. There were many other con- cessions that were sponsored by various Fraternities, Sororities, college clubs and other campus organiza- tions; so, we could chomp on hamburgers and drink down Cokes while watching everyone have a great time. All the fun lasted from 11am until 5pm: plenty of time to blow all our money, prove our skills (or lack of them) on various games, and hang out with our friends under the sunny Plattsburgh sky. It was definitely a great way to end Parent ' s weekend and celebrate the great North Country Fall. Joseph M.

This is a first rate college. - Dr. Charles Warren n October 19th, the Cardinal Yearbook focused on Dr. Charles Warren, the new President of our college. His accessibility and straight forward an- swers made our staff happy with our choice. Dr. Warren ' s background amply qualifies him for the position. He was born and raised in Blue- field West Virginia, located near the Southern Appalachian Mountains on the border of Virginia and West Virginia. In 1957 Dr. Warren enrolled in Virginia Tech. as a freshman majoring in Biology and minoring in Math. He stayed at Virginia Tech. for his masters. In 1963 he moved to Gains- ville Florida where he studied for three years at the Universi- ty of Florida and received his PHD from the Botany Depart- ment, majoring specifically in Microbial Physiology and Bio Chemistry. After spending thirteen years at a Liberal Arts College in Memphis Tennessee, Dr. Warren, in 1979, came to Platts- burgh State as the Dean of Arts and Sciences. He spent three years here at P.S.U.C. and went on to become the Vice-President of SUNY-Cortland. When the Presidency was vacated here at Plattsburgh this past year he was defi- nitely interested. His high regard for our faculty, staff, stu- dents and overall community made coming back an easy choice. I asked Dr. Warren his opinion of upstate New York and he replied, If you had asked me ten years ago what I thought of upstate New York, I would have replied like a typical provincial southerner and said, ' Upstate New York, is that just outside of New York City? ' . Now I ' m a fan of New York State. It offers a great deal in terms of natural beauty and cultural opportunities. Plattsburgh is a special place and I am very glad to be here. Dr. Warren has been a full-time administrator for 10 years. Up until this year he ' s made it a point of engaging in some kind of teaching, Because it ' s important to know why we are shuffling all that paper. In his last year here he taught a 4 hour laboratory in Plant Biochemistry and Physiology. Dr. Warren also had some words of wisdom for our students. Overall, I feel that our students are fairly serious about their undergraduate endeavers. I think that we still have some who might not be as focused academically as they should be. I am very interested in conveying to them the notion that we are going to have high academic expec- tations. Our programs are going to be increasingly academi- cally rigorous, but, within the context of a supporting, car- ing environment. He added, Our students are here as consumers and they want the very best that our faculty can offer them. With great re- spect for our students, I want more of them to be- come academically fo- cused early on. That doesn ' t mean ' Don ' t have fun ' , because many of the most valuable learning ex- periences will occur out- side of the classroom. During Dr. Warren ' s first year as President he has had to deal with a recurring problem, more specifically, the parking problem. He fefl This is a problem faced by every University President in iff country. I am very pleased with the systematic way it ' s bef approached here at P.S.U.C. We are probably 250 to 4 spaces short, but steps are already being taken to resoi this problem. As a long-term plan, the most optimal solulii would be to construct a parking building over an alrea: existing parking lot. All possibilities are being explored Dr. Warren has also had to face some new controversy like the condoms on campus for communicable disectf prevention. He reflected, In a position like mine I think y have to step back. You ' re certainly concerned about yo individual moral outlooks, but you should be very ctf cerned about the reality of public health. A student fac ty staff committee has been organized to assist me on t issue. He added, This will bring an opportunity for strong educational program about AIDS, what it is and wlr can happen if we are not thoughtful of its existence. ! Outside of academics, Dr. Warren is busy circulatl around the school and community, getting to know eveii one. Some of Dr. Warren ' s hobbies are watching sporg i cycling, jogging, reading, and gardening all year round, and his wife Nancy have been married for over 27 yeajj They have two children, Greg and Andrew, both enrolled Plattsburgh High School. Dedication and hard work are vital for a successful Pre! dency, says Dr. Warren. At the closing of the interview, I Warren added that, The odd idea of having summers oil exactly that, an old idea. This is a full-time job for Charles Warren, twelve months a year.

They had just finished applauding for a new warm- up band, Frozen Ghost, but now they knew what  was coming, the main feature. Many students J fffl pushed forward to get a better view of the stage. Others prepared to mount the comfortably distant chers, but a few patiently waited, dancing to the piped-in music and laughing with their friends. Then, the spotlight flashed on the stage, the crowd joined together and came alive with whistles and chants, the announcer said the long awaited name and suddenly, there he was: Howard Jones. Wearing a masked horse ' s head, he stood in the light. The crowd finally got what it was waiting for. Ho jo didn ' t disappoint - he made sure to perform a mixture of his older, popular tunes like Don ' t Go Livin ' Your Life In One Day and songs from his new album. One to One, such as You Know I Love You. He also proved his versatility by playing tunes of the Beatles and Donald Fagan. One of the most interesting and innovative parts of the concert was the use of a dancer mime who staged a swordfight with )ones and later acted out the satirical lyrics of a song about society ' s all-consuming nature. The crowd was definitely pleased with the performance and commanded an encore with shouts of Ho Jo ! But then, the show was over, the lights came up and people filtered out through the exits. The concert was a great escape from every- day college life. A big thanks goes out to the Activities Coordina- tion Board for the chance to see and hear this performer. 22 Arts and Entertainment Photos by Michael Bobnick The American Dream The first Fall Mainstage of the year was House of Blue Leaves, directed by Dr. H. Charles Kline. The play ran from October 7 thru October 10 and again from October 14 thru October 17. Although House of Blue Leaves is a satirical comedy, it has serious undertones. The plot revolves around three leading characters: Artie, an aspiring songwriter by night and a zookkeeper by day; his wife Bananas, a woman who has lost touch with reality; and his girlfriend, Bunny, who be- lieves ordinary people dream of celebrities and celebrities dream of ordinary people. Blue Leaves displays comic relief because the words in the script are funny, yet the meanings behind the words are true to life and very serious. The theme of the play, the American dream of success, seemed to affect each member of the audience. The mixture of emotions, happiness, sadness, insecurity and anger, in dealing with the American dream was amplified throughtout each scene. Cast members included Joe Harding, Patricia Nippert, and Renee Latulippe playing the three main characters, as well as Greg Waagner, Aimee Loughmann, Elizabeth Bonnabeau, Laura Zemanek, Sidra Samantha McRorey, Robert Timlin, Spelman Beaubrun and David Steinberg.

Cardinal 1988 25 CARDINAL CLOSE-UP An Interview with Dr. Philip Reines D- I n Wednesday, September 30, 1987, the Cardinal Yearbook Staff focused on Dr. Philip Reines for our Arts and Entertainment Cardinal Close-up. We chose Dr. Reines be- cause of his work with Canadian i and other areas of Cinema at our school and because of his recent grant from the Canadian Government. Dr. Reines, an associate professor in Com- munications, has been teaching at Plattsburgh since 1965. Originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., he received his B.A. in Speech and English Litera- ture from Adelphi University in 1957. He then went on to receive his M.A. in Theatre and Speech at the University of Colorado in 1959. And, in 1970, he earned his Ph.D. in Theatre study Canadian Cinema. As a result, he was able to introduce the first course on Canadian Cinema in the United States. His more recent grant will be used to further research in the Canadian Cinema field and refine the Canadi- an Cinema course. In addition, to researching Canadian film, Dr. Reines plans for the future include teaching and researching world film. He was proud to say, I love film and radio. It is a wonderful thing, that what you love is considered art and is teachable. Outside academia, Dr. Reines enjoys sailing, playing racquetball every chance he gets and collecting old model trains with his son. He is also a member of the International Cryptozoo- logy Society, a group of scientists and educators devoted to exploring un- known species of the world. Says Reines, As the world gets too repet- itive, I am more interested in the unex- plored. Elizabeth Dwyer I love film and radio! It ' s a wonderful thing, that what you love is consid- ered art and is teach- able. Arts at the University of Denver. This extensive education has enabled him to become innova- tive in his teaching. Dr. Reines has had the opportunity to teach at various colleges across the country including locations in Colorado, North Carolina and South Dakota. He came to Plattsburgh because the SUNY system was the place to be in the ' 60 ' s. Plattsburgh State, at this time, was expanding, building a new teaching tradition, and was the place to grow for both teachers and students. Dr. Reines originated the Mass Media curric- ulum at PSUC with a course on film arts. This course was such a success that the curriculum and the major for Mass Media soon evolved. Last fall. Dr. Reines received a generous grant from the Quebec Government to study Canadian film. His interest in Canadian film was sparked by a combination of the existence of the Canadian Studies Center on campus, and his basic interest in the film. Previously, Dr. Reines received a grant from the Canadian government in 1985. This grant enabled him to take a leave of absence and 26 Arts and Entertainment Plattsburgh State ' s Sunday Night at the MOVIES Movie Mania: The bright lights, movie stars, excite- ment and adventure of movieland fill Hawkins Hall Auditorium every Sunday night. As you sit in the warm darkness of the theatre with a bag of popcorn at your feet, you slowly drift away into a world of suspense, madness, laughter, fear . . . you ' re at the movies. For awhile you can forget about tomorrow ' s Bio-Chem exam, or that Shakespeare paper for Tuesday, and take a relaxing trip away from campus into movieland. Since movies are a pleasant escape from the draining life of a college student, the Student Association brings in recently released hit movies for the students to enjoy at the bargain price of fifty cents, every week. This year the campus was visited by the talents of Whoopi Cold- berg and Michael ). Fox, as well as, old favorites such as Rodney Dangerfield, just to name a few. . You feel close to the movie ' s characters as you laugh and cry - experiencing their emotion as yours. For awhile there are no classes, no teachers, and no assign- ments due overnight. There ' s only the movie. The fan- tasy world you enter when the lights dim becomes reality for a short time, allowing you to escape the pressures of school. At the movies — until the popcorn is gone, and the credits roll - life becomes more excit- ing, more relaxing, more of everything - except more complicated. Movies allow us to focus on something else for a little while, AND FORGET our own problems. So next time you ' d like an escape, find it ... at the movies.

The play, directed by Dr. Ruth Kline, ran from November 11 thru November 14 and November 18 thru No- vember 21. This well-received comedy was presented in two parts and was set in various locations in and around the court of Duke Frederick and the magical forest of Arden. Scenic design was by Timothy ). Palkovic and lighting was designed by Mitche Fore. This whimsical love story charmed hundreds of people who gathered together inside the walls of Hartman Theatre and who had no prior knowledge of what a commanding performance they were about to behold. Leading actors were Aaron Conte, who portrayed Orlando, the robust young man in search of the love of his life, Rosalind, portrayed by Mychelle Lee Vedder. The cast as a whole worked extremely well together and the performances were noted as cheerful and whimsical. It has been four years since one of Shakespeare ' s works has been present- ed at Plattsburgh State. As You Like It was an impressive and joyous Shakespearean comedy which was certainly worth wait- ing for. Kama Richards 30 Arts and Entertainment The Night I Met Ferret Face ould you like to interview Larry Lin- ville for the Yearbook? I still couldn ' t believe it was me that got asked to do this. You don ' t often get the chance to sit down and talk to a star from one of television ' s shows (and one of my own personal favorites). As I walked to Hawkins Hall and met up with the photographer, I became more excited and tense. I kept asking myself all sorts of questions: Do I look okay? Are the questions okay or should I change them or add to them? Will he like me? I wonder what he ' s like? The adrenaline was really flowing as we walked into the Hawkins Auditorium and waited for Larry to arrive. While I waited, I sat in one of the seats thinking about the M A S H characters and the many episodes I had seen. As I sat recalling about the escapades of Major Burns, Hot Lips, Haw- keye, Radar and the others, I saw a man of about 40 or 50 plainly dressed walk out on stage. I thought it was someone who was part of the college and then it hit me -WOW, IT ' S LARRY LINVILLE! I tried to relax as we started the interview but it was hard. The questions were basically what anyone would ask a star of his caliber and he discussed some of the answers in his speech too. He ' s originally from Northern California, near Sacramento. He went to college at the University of Colorado at Boulder and majored in Aeronautical Engineering, but didn ' t finish, although he did go back to get his degree later on. His immediate answer to how he started in acting was It ' s a ridiculous story. It never crossed my mind as a youngster to get into acting. I wanted to fly. I lived near an Air Force Base and it influenced me tremen- dously. The school drama club was doing a Christmas pageant and had no boys. So he and others joined and the pageant and drama club became successful. It was all for the sake of hor- mones and girls. When he was at college he got back into it after breaking up with his girlfriend. He wrote to some drama schools but the only one that showed an interest in him was The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, in London, which had only three openings. His parents had mixed feelings about him going. He pushed the button and hopped a plane to New York City for auditions for the Royal Academy. Over three hundred people were at the audition, yet he got one of the three spots, even a scholarship. Sixty people were in his class when he got to Lon- don and in the end only six, including Larry, got a diploma. That ' s an impressive feat for someone who got involved for the sake of hormones. He went on to Hollywood and got a job on Room 222 and some other bit parts. Besides how his acting career got started, another common question is how he and M A S H got start- ed. He discussed this a great deal in his speech. It seems Twenti- eth Century Fox accepted the M A S H movie idea because they thought it would fail and they needed a tax write off. People flipped for it though, which was big news because Viet- nam was going on at the time. Gene Reynolds was signed to make it a TV. series and Larry Gilbert wrote the pilot. Reynolds went out looking for regular actors to play the parts and remem- bered Larry from Room 222. Larry read for Frank Burns and Henry Blake. CBS wasn ' t totally for it but Reynolds got him the job. Thanks to Gene Reynolds and summer reruns, Major Burns and M A S H were on their way. I asked him why he quit M A S H and his reply was, I left because I wanted to go out on top. There wasn ' t much more that could be done with Frank ' s character. He told me he still gets royalties from the reruns ($60,000 gross last year from 125 episodes). He told me that Mike Farrell and himself arc] members of the cast that lecture and are successful. Wl asked about the IBM commercials and where the idea all from he replied I have no idea. Someone in the ad agencjr IBM did. It was all for fun and money. My final question was if he had any advice for prosper actors or P.S.U.C. students in general. In a bit of a wise! fatherly manner he answered First of all, don ' t do it. But ill really want to, get all the training possible. As for students, li| is life after Plattsburgh. It might not be what you envisioned! it ' s there. Don ' t be afraid to change. I When the night was over and Larry had finished speakl showing an old episode, and signing autographs, I felt on topi the world. I was privileged enough to have the chance toil verse with, listen to, and get the autograph of one of the bigg stars of one of television ' s biggest shows. Larry is a good! not at all like Major Burns. I found the interview was a q experience.

With no auditions required, litany student interested in singing, regardless of major or musical background, may join. Mr. Zie- linski ' s ability to motivate and direct his students to their performing potential is what makes this group a success. This past fall, activities included three performances, all of which were open to the public. Dur- ing a Mass held at St. John ' s church, the chorale sang the Mass in G. Major, by Franz Schubert, with guest soloists Keum-]ae Kim (Soprano), and Richard Probert (Baritone). Other sacred songs were sung along with the congregation. The second concert, presented by the Champlain Chamber Music series and the Music Council, include the Schubert Mass with chorale accompanied by orchestra, and guest violinist, Dr. Yenoin Guibbory. This concert was held in the E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium in Hawkins Hall. The semester ended on a lighter note with the second annual Holiday Sing-a-long held in the Meyers Fine Arts lobby. All stu- dents, faculty and members of the community were invited. For the spring semester, all chorale members look forward to per- forming Hayden ' s Paukenmesse accompanied by orchestra.

The group, consisting of some of the finest voices in the school, was originated by Mr. Richard Zielinski. To be a member of this elite group of singers, you must audition, and each member is expect- ed to have a good knowledge of all kinds of music. The small singing ensemble performs one main concert per semester with as many as 15 to 20 performances at various other times. Musical styles range from Gospel songs such as Ezekiel Saw de Wheel to classical masterpieces like DeBussy ' s Trois Chansons and Hassler ' s Zerbum Caro Factum Est. This year, many of the town ' s citizens were treated to the energetic voices as they went door to door singing Carols. These students dedicate long hours of hard work in order to achieve their perfectly blended sound. One member of the group stresses, Anyone who takes Cardinal Singers because of the credit is crazy. We are there because we enjoy singing, blending and creating. With Mr. Zielinski in front of us, we can accomplish anything. Denis Dufresne I Photo by Michael Farnham Pholo by Michael Farnha Cardinal 1988 35 Music For All Times he Plattsburgh State Sinfonia is a string chamber orchestra. Performers include Plattsburgh State students and communi- ty members who have orchestral or chamber music experience. The group meets once a week to practice and stu- dents receive credit for their efforts. Chamber music, popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is instrumental ensemble music intended for performance in a small auditorium. The pieces usually have one performer for each part. The Sinfonia, directed by Dr. Yenoin Guibbory, held its concert of the season on Wednesday, November 18th, in Hawkins Hall Small Auditorium. Classical works played, ranged from Purcell ' s Suite for Strings to Corel- li ' s Concerto Grosso in F Major. In addition, three mem- bers were given the chance to perform Beethovan ' s Trio in C Minor. The filled auditorium proved that chamber music is still well-liked and appreciated in the 20th century. • V Elizabeth Dwyer All That Jazz or those students and community members . who really want to hear music come to life, .; Pittsburgh State offers the jazz Ensemble. This group presents upbeat, exciting music and bluesy numbers that bring entertain- ment to every age group. They can be found jamming at the Point, the E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium and the Hartman theatre throughout the year. The )azz ensemble combines such instruments as the saxa- phone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, bass, piano and drums to create their jazz sounds. The students work with a full spec- trum of music from the |azz age. with such classic oldies as I Get a Kick out of You and melancholy songs like Basically Blues. The versatile group may swing into a progressive jazz number or a pop jazz tune. The group ' s director, Marshall Onofrio, is in his first year as Assistant Professor of Music and is very enthusiastic about the future of the group. He looks forward to an increasingly popular season and a large audience. Mary Neumeyer Cardinal 1988 37 ACTIVITIES and CLUBS In Focus Pittsburgh State offers countless clubs and activities for its diverse student body. These clubs help prepare the student for the future by teaching the leadership and cooperative skills necessary in today ' s society. Clubs and activities also provide an outlet from the every- day routine of school and homework while allowing students with similar interests to so- cialize and learn together. Our campus pro- vides three basic kinds of clubs: the social inter- est groups, the Creek organizations, and the academic clubs. Each allows a student to de- velop a different part of his or her character and complete a well rounded education. For the socially aware student who wants to make an impact on the school, community or even the world, there are social interest groups. These organizations are dedicated to improving the student world on a local or glo- bal basis. The Greek fraternities and sororities on cam- pus provide a surrounding of loyalty and last- ing friendship. These clubs sponsor community projects and are responsible for many of the campus social activities. Academic organizations create informal set- tings where students can get together to dis- cuss their academic interests or problems. These groups allow friendships to grow be- tween students and faculty and give students first hand opportunities with field trips and guest lecturers. All of these groups provide endless oppor- tunities for new friendships, greater personal awareness, and academic growth. Along with Plattsburgh State ' s educational programs, these activities can help in the overall learning process, making the student ' s education com- plete.

Plattsburgh State ' s 1987 Home- coming Parade ' s theme was Holidays and most dorms, clubs and greek organizations bse to the occasion. Adirondack hauled out the holly for their Christmas float, and Theta Alpha Lambda Sororiety shouted Happy New Year as their New Year ' s Eve float continously toast- ed midnite. Theta Kappa Beta ' s float, Co- lumbus Day, won the S.A. organizations first place prize and the overall first place winner was Banks Hall ' s Chinese New Year float. All the floats were well done and were enjoyed by the students and commu- nity who came to share in the fun. Every holiday from Mardi-Gras to Thanksgiving passed by on the colorful and imaginative floates. Other people took part in the activities as well. Clowns threw candy to area children and cars filled with alumni and S.A. organi- zations drove down the parade route. Area marching bands filled the air with Holiday music. Everyone got into the spirit, and no matter what holiday the parade watchers chose to celebrate, they definitely had a festive time.

After the parade, the celebration continued with evening dancing. This year ' s Home- coming Semi-Formal, held in the college Field House, was the pinacle of the 1987 Homecoming Weekend. Long tables were crowded with holiday punch and party refreshments; many ballons of red, green and other traditional colors, floated and bobbed everywhere you looked. Couples crowded the dance floor, s urrounded by multi-colored flashes of light. A live D.J. played memorable songs from the 1970 ' s and 80 ' s while everybody talked, danced or just listened. The evening was a real celebration. Of course, the main event, the crowning of the holiday King and Queen finally took place. The crowds quieted down for the long-awaited announcements. This year, Keith Levitino was crowned King and Dana Olmstead was Queen. The evening slowly and reluctantly drew to a close, as most holiday parties do.

Maureen Piche ' The Newman Center: Where Spirits Can Soar he Newman Center, located at 92 Broad St., is the home for a variety of spiritual activities, as well as, collegiate and community-based activities. The Newman Center, constructed in the early seventies, is P.S.U.C. ' s campus church. Father Bill Muench, a Catholic Priest, is the pastor of the Center, but he shares spiritual leadership with the Protestant Chaplain, Rever- end )ack Studebaker, representative of six local Protestant de- nominations. Father Bill has been serving the college community for the past three years and is readying himself for his fourth. During the several years of Father Bill ' s Pastorate, he has observed various attitudes and behaviours of a wide range of P.S.U.C. students. Father Bill expressed how he is . . . constantly edified by the dedication of many students toward the development of spiritu- al values in their lives and efforts to help others. Father Bill has been a priest for the Diocese of Ogdensburg for twenty-eight years, fifteen of which were spent as a science teacher. Along with his many duties as pastor of the Newman Center, Father Bill finds time to write a weekly column for the North Country Catholic. Father Bill hopes in the future to see more students involved in the Newman Center Association, a S.A. recognized, student- church oriented, decision-making body. The Assocation plans and assists in a number of parish activities, such as the once-a- semester religious retreat. The church took their semester ' s re- treat to the Guggenheim Camp, located in the scenic Saranac Lake area. In 1979, Rev. Jack Studebaker became the Newman Center ' s Protestant Chaplain. A graduate of Hobart College in 1964 with a Master ' s degree in Divinity, Rev. Studebaker also spent 2Vi years in the U.S. Naval Academy. Rev. Studebaker has witnessed an evolving process over the past seven years of his ministry. He explained, We are now in a time when persons who take their faith seriously are expressing it through their traditional church backgrounds. The P.S.U.C. Newman Center is a place for quiet relaxation and reflection; it has great potential for P.S.U.C. students. All students are welcome to share their thoughts and feelings about their faith and are given the opportunity to speak with either Father Bill or Rev. Studebaker about any problems they may face as students. loseph M. Segriff : . ' Z ' T ' J 4 !

Since then, aero- bics have greatly improved in all aspects. The student faculty interest in this free-of- charge extra-curricular activity has made aero- bics part of some people ' s daily schedules. With the increase in instructors, aerobics is of- fered 11 times a week at many different times in the hopes of accommodating everyone ' s schedules. Classes are sure to make the healthiest, most in-shape person walk away feeling as though he she has had a terrific workout. A lot of time is spent prior to and after the workout stretching out muscles. This is a safety device used to prevent muscle pulls and muscle tight- ening. Aerobics, like Plattsburgh State University College, is growing in the public eye. In the future, aerobics will continue to prosper and with a little more participation, could become the thing to do. Aerobics is sponsored by the office of Cam- pus Life and Marriott, and is open to everyone. Denis Dufresne Pholo By Michael Bobnick Row 1: K. Focken, C. Dureau, 5. Le- vilt. Row 2: L. Armele. M.

Other chapters were formed in Oneonta, New Paltz, Potsdam, Oswego, and Platts- burgh. They became separate fraternal organizations in 1954. Phi Kappa Chi became the chapter at Pitts- burgh State. Their colors are yellow and white and ' their symbol is the daisy. Sisterhood, for Clios, means being loyal and true to one another. Individuality is the backbone of their unity as a group. Clio, Maureen Lynch states, It is very clear to see you ' re looking at the 1 sorority - we all know, without a doubt, to live, love, laugh is what we ' re all about. On campus, they participate in campus clean-up, open house, and parents weekend activities. In the community, the Clios sponsor blood drives, raise money for the United Way, sponsor clothes and food drives, and volunteer their services and time to the people who need them.

With over fifty chapters backing it up, our cam- pus chapter joined in the Fall of 1987 with thirty original sisters. Alison Xenakis, president of Delta Phi Epsi- lon, explained, We felt a need for a national sorority, and through a lot of hard work and determination, our dreams are coming true. In order to start a new chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon at Plattsburgh, a few founding sisters wrote to several national sororities. Delta Phi Epsilon seemed very interested in our college, and we were the quickest to respond. This sorority ' s main goals are to gain knowl- edge and true feelings of sisterly love. They believe that by interacting with one another, they will achieve the liberal spirit of kind judge- ment and group acceptance. In their first year of existence at P.S.U.C., Delta Phi Epsilon sponsored the National Char- ity Cystic Fibrosis bowl-a-thon, a scholarship drive for pennies, and they worked toward the elimination of Anorexia Nervosa.

They are active participants in Homecoming and in the community, working for the American Cancer Society, Special Olympics and Salvation Army. They also sponsor blood drives and speak- ers for the college and have given time to numerous homes for the aged. The Thalians are always ready to open their hearts to new members. They strive to maintain ideas of friend- ship and loyalty, and sincerely believe that Thalian girls are the best. The Thalian president, Debbie Le- vine, added, For each Thalian there is time to share, to work, to grow, to search within oneself and to know within our hearts, to keep a feeling that is hard to say but each sister finds it in her own way.

They were originally es- tablished at Plattsburgh in 1981 and have grown in numbers and friendship. The girls have fun but also work hard to help others. Their main ob- jective is to increase and strenghten bonds of sisterhood. The Gammas believe that their numbers should include many accomplished young women so that a variety of ideas and opinions can be fostered. The sisters strive to grow by both community and campus in- volvement, and they encourage individual members to attain further development in var- ious college programs. In past years, the sisters have won the Scholastic Cup and have re- ceived the 1983 and 1985 President ' s Cup. The group motto is the beginning of friendship and each sister believes in that. Alpha Phi Cam ma looks forward to continued excellence in the coming years. Maureen Piche Photo By Michael Bobnitk For sixty-two years, the Alpha Delta Theta so- rority has been at Plattsburgh State. Their col- ors are lavender and white. The symbols are the owl, the torch, and an open book. The main goal of the Alpha Delta ' s is to develop leadership and self-reliance in the sisters. They encourage and acknowledge scholastic achievement, but also enjoy an active social life. A . lot of time is spent contributing services to the com- munity. They held a dance-a-thon to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis last spring. For Easter, booklets were made and delivered to the children at hospitals in the area. The sisters share a special closeness, through the activities that they do. These activities make them best of friends, as well as sisters. Becky Lancette he Ago sorority is the oldest on campus. The Delta Chap- ter, one of five chapters in New York State, was intro- duced to Plattsburgh in 1892. The Ago ' s have actively sup- ported the American Cancer Society, the March of Dimes, area nursing homes, the Champlain Valley Physician ' s Hospital, and the Special Olympics. They are also active on campus through the Campus Carnival and Campus Clean-up. The group ' s aims are for the establish- ment of cooperation and sisterhood among its ' members and participation in activities and services for the college and community. Individuality and personal growth are important to the Agos be- cause they believe these will improve and add excitement to the organization. The sisters of Alpha Kappa Phi strive for loyalty, friendship and unity among themselves and the community. Lorna Thomson Row V. L. DeVilo. I Campbell. C Reynheer, K O ' Reilly Row 2- At Szatanik.

It provides an impressive setting for both academic and ex- tra-curricular pursuits. It is known as one of the most beautiful regions of the Empire State. Every year, hundreds of new students come from all over New York. Many also come from different states and from foreign nations. What attracts students is the range of programs avail- able and their reputation for excellence. Pitts- burgh students can choose their majors from three different college schools; Arts and Sci- ences, Professional Studies, and the College of Business and Economics. From these three sep- arate schools, the student has the option of choosing from over fifty programs. Plattsburgh State is proud to attract new students from all over the world, for it creates a mixture of var- ious cultures, ideas, interests which can only enhance a students education. Jaqueline S. Vaudo 84 Academics Photo by Michael Bobnik Cardinal 1988 85 READING BETWEEN the LINES extbooks are a primary resource for the college student. Not everyone enjoys pay- ing $45.50 for a book entitled Egypt the History from 1800-1956. However, the syllabus reads: Text is REQUIRED! So, the first assignment is to read 100 pages for the next class meeting. Therefore the eager student sits under a bright light, highlighter in hand and begins to read. But how does one approach the process of tedious textbook reading? First, look at the title and ask yourself Do I know any- thing about the topic? The student may be an expert on the subject, but more often than not the student has more expertise in playing quarters or giving directions down- town. Therefore, begin to review the book from beginning to end and determine the organization. The student should be aware of the chronological order: dates, times and authors. Also, most students like short cuts, they just want to understand the main idea of the assigned chapter. Howev- er, as time consuming as it may be, read the introductions to each chapter. This allows insight into the new material which will be presented. Furthermore, not everyone en- joys reading the end of a story because it spoils the sur- prise! But, please read the summary before you begin the chapter. Thus, the knowledge-seeking individual is ready to learn about the information briefly described in the introduction and summary. Each student is still a kid at heart, so use this to your advantage! Look at the FASCINATING pictures and FABU- LOUS graphs! As children we all loved picture books! Now, howev er, the mature college student sips on a soda, impatiently reading a 50 page chapter about Egyp- tian life in the 1800 ' s. The intellect may be reading but is the brain thinking? No! The student is on a mission to finish the 50 pages in 20 minutes! STOP! SLOW DOWN! Key words and phrases are important. Therefore, outline the chapter. Later in the semester; outlining saves time. Cram- ming the night before a 10 chapter exam destroys the chances for an A. Use a recall column of signal words which will refresh your memory. Also ask the 4w ' s and the infamous how. When the chapter is completed the stu- dent is confident, enlightened and filled with new, exciting knowledge. Finally, a technique the student may use to prove he or she knows and understands the material, is to design a test. Everyone likes to play professor! Good luck, read- ers! Remember, textbooks are a vital part of college life. Tina Caswell Photo by Tina Cotnj Photo by Alison ! 86 Academics for Attitude A t some point in your college career, you will be expected, (begged? told?) to write a paper for at • least one of your college professors. The professor may want a 20 page, 10 page, or even a brief 2 page I paper. But, no matter what the length and topic are, there is one thing you want - a good grade. Learn- ing how to write an ' A ' paper may seem like a very time-consuming endeavor, but with practice, and a few helpful hints, you should be able to improve your writing, in spite of your past attempts. The first step to writing an ' A ' paper is finding a topic. If you aren ' t able to find your own topic, take the assigned topic and look at it from a diff erent perspective. You have to keep in mind that the professor has read 40 papers before yours, so you want to make your paper as unique as possible. Another point to remember is to know how to organize all your notes. The structure of your paper should follow this basic pattern: The first paragraph should contain your Thesis sentence (the main idea) and several points to support the thesis. The point should be listed in the order you will be presenting them, and always make . sure you provide solid support with specific examples that make your thesis interesting and convincing. Now that you ' ve learned the basic framework of a paper, you should be familiar with another important part of a paper: writing style. Some basic guidelines are: Don ' t ramble, get right to the point; avoid jargon, don ' t use words or expressions familiar to a small number of people; vary the lengths of your sentences; buy and use a dictionary and thesaurus and make sure your paper is organized, typed neatly and professionally with even margins, and always remember to proof-read, rewrite and proof-read again. With a lot of practice and work, you should finally get a grade you truly deserve. Kama Richards Cardinal 1988 87 Two Grades Above the Rest I n today ' s world of high tech. business and an in- creasingly populated job market, many students are finding four year degrees are not enough. The stiff competition in almost any field requires that students get that fighting edge. Most are turning to graduate programs in specified fields in order to give their careers more focus and increase their expertise. So what does a college student do when the four years are up and the frightening prospects of grad school loom straight ahead? First, a student can go to the college library or the Career Life planning office. Both places offer lots of information. According to the Gourman Report, which rates graduate and professional pro- grams, the top rated schools for these areas are: LAW: Harvard U. MEDICINE: Harvard Medical School COMPUTER SCIENCE: MIT SOCIOLOGY: Berkeley JOURNALISM: Columbia U. EDUCATION: Michigan State ECONOMIC: Harvard BUSINESS: Harvard Costs for these top ranked schools, however, can be beyond all imagining. Some of the top business schools such as Harvard, Stanford and Columbia require more than $11,000 a year for full time graduate programs. SUNY schools, such as Brockport and Buffalo have much lower prices, ranging around $1,075 a semester for full time students and $90 per credit for part timers. These statistics and others can be found easily in the previously men- tioned places. Our own Plattsburgh offers graduate programs leading to the Master ' s of Arts, Master ' s in Education, and the Certificate of Ad- vanced Study. In the M.A., such programs as Biology, History and Psychology can be pursued. The Master ' s of Science in Education offers advanced learning in areas like elementary and secondary education and School Administration. Students at Plattsburgh are finding that the continuing programs here are a great way to ad- vance their education and, at the same time, remain in the friendly and advantageous atmosphere of this school. And if you think you are just one of a handful considering grad school, the Career Life Planning Office has statistics that say that out of about half of 1984 ' s graduating class, over one third of that number went on to either full or part time grad school. The data Photo by Dana Mennerich 88 Academics Photo by Dana Mennerich shows that grad school has become a major part of the college career. Whether a student stays at Pittsburgh, or goes to another school or whether he she pays big bucks or finds affordable alter- natives, the fact remains that more and more students are finding that grad school is not just an opportunity but a necessity. In order to get ahead in our big, progressive world, extensive education may be the best answer. Maureen Piche Cardinal 1988 89 You and Your Resume our years of struggle and de- termination are over. There are no more papers, tests and GPA ' s to worry about. But this end is only the begin- ning of your education! Take the skills you ' ve acquired and apply them to your related fields in the job market. But before making that first million, you have to put your education into perspective. This task can be achieved with a resume. This paper of your qualifications (or lack of them) gives that prospective employer a look at how you ' ve passed the time during those four years. The job doesn ' t always go to the best qualified person, but the person who presents themselves most persuasive- ly on paper. So how does one begin? First of all, you have to know the meaning of the resume. The resume is defined as an organized con- cise summary about you that includes your qualifica- tions, goals and interests. Also, it states the main objective of why you want the job. An important part of the resume is your work experience (if you have any) and education. You should write the descriptions of both of these listing the most important items first. The education section should include the degree you earned, your major, the name of the college attended and the date of graduation. You can also list under education your GPA, the honors or rewards received, and the co- ops or internships you have worked for. Also, in- clude information about your degree and educa- tional experiences that enhance or support your ob- jective. Next, include the section of experience listing the name of the position, the organization, the address and dates of employment. These jobs may include part-time or summer jobs. With all of this in mind you should have no prob- lem landing that perfect job and making that million! Trudy Caswell Pholo by ' 2. S 90 Academics Students Helping Students Hi - ; ave you ever been in this situation ? You ' ve just start- ed a new course and the class size is over whelm- ■4 ingly large. The professor is a fairly good teacher, but ■j you have so many questions and he has so few [ I office hours. So, you go back to your room, open your book, pick up a pen and draw a complete blank. This is no new phenomenon, and there is a solution, or at least some definite help. The College Tutoring Center, located on the main floor of Angell College Center, can help get a student back on track. The center relies upon the help of students tutors, who get together with students, individually or in groups and guide them towards a better understanding of their studies. There ' s no worry about a fee, the school budget covers that, and the center can find a qualified tutor for just about any course offered. If you don ' t need specific help and you have above average skills in a certain academic area, why not become a tutor? The center only requires that you have a 3.0 or better in your major average and that you have a true desire to teach. After all, teaching is a great skill to master and as the center ' s director, Mrs. Liz Pasti says, There is a great deal of pleasure in being able to watch someone progress through your help. So, both tutoring and being tutored have their advantages. The Tutoring Center offers an alternative for students in trouble who can ' t reach a professor, and a means of growth and practice for those who want to share their skills with others. Maureen Piche Cardinal 1988 91 CARDINAL CLOSE-UP An Interview with Dr. Larry Shaffer n Tuesday, September 29th, Cardinal Yearbook focused on Dr. Larry Schaffer, professor of Behavioral Sci- ence at Plattsburgh State. As an active man, both on campus and in the com- munity, Dr. Schaffer was a natural, as well as, an interesting choice for our staff. Dr. Schaffer graduated in 1968 from Plattsburgh State University with a major in Psychol- ogy. Before attending Plattsburgh State, his interest was in the theatre, but by mistake, he was placed in the Psychology program by the Registrar ' s office. He was so enthusiastic about the program after his first course that he has been in the field ever since. After receiving his Bachelor ' s degree, Dr. Schaffer was selected as a Rhodes Scholar, attended Oxford University, and received his D-phil in Biology. He then went on to work for a television station, where he was a producer of hour-long science documen- taries. He soon felt tht this was not his way to teach people about science, and so, he returned to our school as a professor of Psychology. In reasoning why he returned to P.S.U.C. he said, I love it here and feel it ' s a very small way of giving something in return for all this school has given me. In Dr. Schaffer ' s opinion, the psychology depart- ment at P.S.U.C. is terrific. Teachers make a point of how we are all connected to it. Outside of his job, Dr. Schaffer is a very busy man, as well. Over the summer, he went on a 33 day biker ' s tour from California to Maine. During the school year, he keeps in shape by swimming two miles a day in the pool at Memorial Hall. He claims, I lost the top of my hair from swimming so fast. Dr. Schaffer also loves to build new houses or renovate old ones. He ' s very good at stone mason- ry and has sold all of the houses he ' s built. In the community, Dr. Schaffer is involved in speaking on educational issues at the Plattsburgh Mental Health Association and in local schools. He also takes part in programs for the disease. Multiple Sclerosis. In closing he remarked about his outlook for the future, saying, I hope that as I get older I could continue to stay in touch with the student perspec- tive, for it is easy to lose ... I don ' t ever want to forget what it ' s like to be a student. If I do, I would like to know, so 1 can quit teaching to go build chim- neys. Jacqueline S. Vaudo I love it here and feel it ' s a very small way of giving something in return for all this school has given me. concentrating on the students, not just the studies. With such offerings as internships, research, faculty work and lab assistant positions, the faculty makes sure that students get plenty of first-hand experi- ence before going into their professions. Schaffer emphasized, Students are pretty much profession- als when they leave here. He also discussed how Drs. Edward and Lillian Redcay were an enormous help. They have given so much money to support the psychology and Behavioral Science research which allows a lot of opportunities for undergrad- uate work. Dr. Schaffer ' s program here at Plattsburgh in- volves Human Development and Biopsychology. When asked what he felt was important about his program for students, his response was, Some- times, it is very important to look at the world through the eyes of a biologist. Even if for only one semester, students may see things that they ' ve nev- er seen about the world — perhaps, to understand 92 Academics Cardinal 1988 93 A Monument to Dedication edcay Hall was originally designed to house the Feinberg Library. On May 4th, 1961, it opened to accommodate a student body of just over 1500. The library was adequate in size up until its 10th anniversary, when it was apparent that a larger building would be needed to hold the ever-in- creasing amount of materials. In the summer of 1972, the old Feinberg Library was relocated and the building was turned into the Faculty Office Building (FOB). However, as more classroom space was required for the growing student population, offices were relocated and classrooms were added. During Homecoming 1985, FOB was officially dedicated to Drs. Lillian and Edward Redcay for their outstanding charitable and academic excellence at Plattsburgh State. Maureen Connors The Feinberg Library 1- N The Benjamin F. Feinberg Library, the large three story facility in the center of campus, was dedicated on May 5, 1978, in memory of the Plattsburgh native, Benjamin F. Feinberg. Mr. Feinberg was an attorney and a New York State Senator who, in 1948, spon- sored the legislation that created the State University of New York. Today, the library contains 300,000 volumes and subscribes to approximately 1,700 periodicals. In addition to this, it also has over 450,000 items on microfilm. Special sections of the Feinberg Library include a microcomputer lab, media services, late night study, a special collections section, the reference room, the government documents room, the Rockwell Kent Gallery, and the periodical room. Lorna Thomson Cardinal 1988 95 A Campus Landmark Champlain Valley Hall is one of the oldest buildings on cam- pus. However, this structure ' s beginnings were not with the S.U.N.Y. system, but with a private institution once called Champlain Valley School of Nursing. With its first class enrollment in 1910, this Nursing School supplied both housing and teaching facilities for the stu- dents. The school finally joined with the campus in 1942, when Pitts- burgh State Normal School officially became a teaching college. Today, the building contains offices for most of the English and History professors on campus and provides classrooms and a lounge for various humanities courses and activities.

This building consists of several student organization of- fices, as well as administrative offices. The center contains meeting rooms; the Blue Room, full of cushioned chairs for comfortable studying; two ballrooms, used for major guest lectures or campus dances; and two recreation rooms with pool tables and arcade machines. The College Center desk plays a vital role for information and services at PSUC. Everything from tickets to concerts to campus addresses can be aquired there. The main function of both the Center and the desk is to inform, entertain and provide a central place of activity for the student. The Center ' s namesake, George Angell, was president of PSUC from 1954-74, Dr. Angell developed and started the plan which transformed the, then, small school into a multifaceted college of Arts and Sciences.

He was the Chancellor of the New York State Board of Regents from 1951-57. During his tenure, he fostered the infusion of Practical Studies with interest in the arts. The Center was named for Mr. Myers due to his interest in Plattsburgh State.

The Normal School, which opened in 1890, was a two year college that prepared students for the teach- ing profession. Under the leadership of Dr. George Hawkins, the school was concerned with professionalism and a high standard of education. The building that housed the school was situated at the end of Court Street next to a pond and fountain. On January 26, 1929, the school burned to the ground. Although school spirits were low, plans for reconstruction began in 1930, and the new build- ing was completed by 1932. Today, that building is better known as Hawkins Hall. It is dedicated to a man who believed in the highest standard of education. That standard still exists as the basis for education at Plattsburgh State today. Maureen Lynch Cardinal 1988 99 olos by Michael Bobnick rr SUNY Plat tsburgh Field House Dedication to Excellence he Fieldhouse Athletic Complex, situated near Rugar Woods on Plattsburgh States fc .v. campus, has offered a diverse variety of I:V . V- facilities for students since 1972. In Sep- tember of 1987, the building was honored with a formal dedication of the Ice Arena, in the name of Senator Ronald B. Stafford, a long- time contributor to our school. Senator Stafford, a native of, and currently, a practicing lawyer in Plattsburgh, was recognized for his career-long advocacy of higher education to- ward PSUC. He ' s responsible for deed such as gain- ing the release of State funds which helped to build the complex, and later, the funding of Feinberg Li- brary. Senator Stafford has been a supporter of greater student and community access to recreational and educational centers since his service as chair of the Senate Committee on Higher Education, 1966-1978. He was honored in 1972, with the Award of Merit from New York City Board of Higher Education, as well, as the S.U.N.Y. Plattsburgh ' s Distinguished Ser- vice Award and countless other rewards for service. The Fieldhouse which includes indoor and out- door tracks, various playing fields, basketball courts and the ice arena, offers the best of facilities to all students for almost every kind of intramural or inter- collegiate activity. Plattsburgh State is genuinely lucky to have both the aid of Senator Stafford and the use of such a fine facility. Senator Stafford has rightfully been recog- nized for his contributions toward both the student ' s physical well-being and the over-all student educa- tion. Maureen Piche ' 100 Academics ATHLETICS IN FOCUS Sports at Pittsburgh State is something that we, as a school, can be proud of. Last year, the Cardinal Hockey team ' s NCAA Division III Championship was well earned. We ' re proud of all our sports teams who may not reach national championships, but work just as hard. Plattsburgh State has both intercollegiate and innercollegiate sports. In Burghy games, all of the dorms compete in a variety of games in an effort to gain Burghy points. However, stu- dents pick their own teams, name themselves, and compete in a round-robin type tourna- ment, in intramural games. Since we have a long line of successful teams, dedicated athletes, and supportive fans, we are confident that our winning tradi- tion at P.S.U.C will continue.

Season highlights includ- ed the excellent Cortland battle plus the team spirit that pushed every- one to individual and team achieve- ment throughout the season. Pre-season practice was held three times daily, so in order to prevent burn-out, Kristin Wood, their new coach, invented some first- rate tactics. The game, Nutmeg, for example, is when a player kicks the ball between your legs at any time during practice. That person then does two sets of 25 push-ups. Senior cap- tain Judy Wisotzke finally caught Coach Wood. They all counted as I did my push-ups, but it gives them the opportunity to tease me, said Wood. There are some conditioning drills that pro- mote leadership. Follow-the-Leader is when the team is guided to touch all the white lines on the field. This has to be done in five minutes or an extra work-out penalty is given. I like to end practice on a good note. said Wood. Two players, Suzanne Squadere and Laura MacKay came home one night after cur- few so, I made them sing an impromptu duet for the team, said Wood. Their choices were Cod Bless America and Rumors which they sang in harmony. I don ' t think the record shows how we improved, said Wood. Not all players got equal time, but when sophomore Suzanne Squadere felt she was going to score for the first time, the coach put her in. Within seven minutes Suzanne ' s soccer ball was in the goal- ie ' s net. I was going to cry, said Wood. The entire team ran onto the field. Captain Beth Cambell, senior sweeper, kept her high, steady performance and )ane Dillion was the leading scorer. Kristin Wood ' s final comment: They have a raw talent and they worked hard to develop it.

They finished with a 7-9-2 record. A frustrating point with that score is that eight of those losses were by one goal. Six out of the nine losses were won by teams in the top 20 of the nation. This year we had the best defense in six seasons. The leading player in goal s this season was Fernando Gualtieri with a total of twelve goals. Leading player in assists was )on Archer. A proud moment with the Cardinals was that four of its players were named to the All Conference team for 1987. Fernando Gualtieri, Eric Wasserbach, and Jonathan Archer were named to the first team and Darryl McDonough was named to the second. Other awards earned were the Coaches award given to Tom Faraci, Most Valuable Player given to Fernando Gualtieri, and the Most Improved play- er given to Brian Michaels. Because the Cardinals are such a young team, with only 24 return players, this year is quoted by Coach Waterbury as being a Big success as it ' s a building year. Next year is looking very hopeful because of all the new, talented players.

The Women ' s Rugby team played with determina- tion and skill that resulted in an undefeated fall season. The team beat top schools such as Clarkson, Union, Colgate and the University of Vermont. The team of twenty women agreed they didn ' t play as many teams as expected, but they were happy with the season ' s strong outcome. With impressive playing skills, the team was able to triumph in victory several times. The coach, Steve Weckesser said, The team has good fundamentals of the sport and they ' re in better condition than the other teams. He calls the game against Clarkson, the re- venge and the highlight of the season. The women scored against Clarkson, 32-8. This was a much wel- comed achievement considering last year ' s score of 0- 4, in favor of Clarkson. The team expects a successful spring season. The coach said, ' The teams main objective is to beat Cort- land, who is considered the best in the state. The team didn ' t choose to honor just one player, but the overall accomplishments of the whole group instead. Trudy Caswell C. Anteet, T. Bodner, R. Boyea, S. Bunal, D. Comstock. C. Dulla- toree, P.

Coach Mor- gan also attained a major goal this semester by reaching 101 coach- ing victories in his nine year Cardi- nal career. The Ruggers are known for hav- ing a good time during and after their games but this season ' s rec- ord shows their serious side: St. Lawrence, 42-0; Potsdam, 34-3; Oswego, 36-6. The Clarkson game finished 17-9, clinching the Central Conference Division title. The team looks forward to a winning season next year.

Concerning the women ' s team, this year marked the beginning of hopefully, a higher divisional ranking. The women ' s team beat nationally ranked teams from Maine such as Bates and Bodin Colleges. The other Division I team, Tufts University, also fell victim to the lady Cards. The women placed second in the S.U.N.Y.A.C. games and also finished a surprising second in the E.C.A.C. championships. Julie Dobert, a sophomore, and Kathy Kane, a junior, qualified as ail-American in Saratoga, N.Y.

With only six men on the Men ' s Team and seven women on the Women ' s Team the swimmers did the best they could. The members they did have performed exceptionally. For example, there were many triple winners throughout the season. For the men the triple winners were Chris Codlewski, Art LaMarche, Ron McKay, and )oe Paulsen. For the women the triple winners were Jill Aldrich, Kelly Kreuzer, Seanan O ' Connell and Lynn Schultz. Another achievement of the team is that twelve of the sixteen members of the Men ' s and Women ' s Swimming and Diving Teams qualified for the S.U.N.Y.A.C.

Those who are favored to place are Lynn Schultz in the 50 and 100 freestyle and the 100 breaststroke, )oanne Carroll in the 100 and 200 butterfly, Kelly Kreuzer in the 100 and 200 freestyle, Tammy Nightingale in the 100 and 200 breaststroke and Krissie Smith in the one meter diving. The other two members participating in S.U.N.Y.A.C. are Seanan O ' Connell in the 1650 freestyle and Paula Utsch in the one meter diving. Even though some of the members of the Men ' s and Women ' s Swim- ming Team didn ' t qualify for S.U.N.Y.A.C. their performance throughout the season added much to each team ' s success. These members are: Brian Driscoll, Ron McKay, Ellie Jeffrey, and Maura Skerry. As assistant coach Suzi Johnson stated, All of the members times have improved since last year and throughout the season. This year ' s team was very unified and showed much spirit. Next year both the coaches and members hope more students will become interested in joining the team. Ellie Jeffrey Cardinal Close-Up An Interview With Coach Chris Waterbury I his year the Cardinal Year- Tbook focused on Coach Chris Waterbury, head of the Mens Soccer Team. Mr. Waterbury ' s leadership abilities and enthusiasm — made him a natural choice for our interview. Born and raised in Ireland and Scot- land, Coach Waterbury learned to love the game of soccer at a very young age. When he was in high school Waterbury moved to the United States and completed his high school educa- tion at Colonie High. In his first year at college, he attend- ed Hudson Valley Community College as an Engineeering major. Waterbury realized that engineering wasn ' t really what he wanted to do. All of his inter- ests pointed towards Physical Educa- tion. He then transferred to Cortland to complete his college education. This is where he first thought of coaching. Coach Waterbury began his coach- ing career at Lyndon State College in Vermont. He was a full-time head coach and worked in the administra- tion office. All along his interest in teaching increased. He then came to Plattsburgh State for two reasons. First- ly, it was a step up in his coaching ca- reer and an opportunity for him to coach in the SUNYAC division, which is considered one of the best Division 111 conferences in the nation. Secondly, Waterbury would be able to teach. I am a firm believer that a coach is only as good as his players. One would be narrow minded if he she didn ' t look into the future. You have to look to the future and you have to build, Water- bury said. He continued, We need a Junior Varsity team, but if we don ' t have the manpower to run it properly, it could be more detrimental than not having one at all. For the ideal situation we need somebody outside of the stu- dent body for the staffing. Not having a J.V. team hurt us a little this year. Mr. Waterbury also said that the Plattsburgh area itself is something that convinced him to come here. He has lived in New York City, and he has lived in places that would make Plattsburgh look like New York City. I think Platts- burgh offers a happy medium. I can still go to the malls when I want, but yet I drive ten minutes and go to my favorite fishing hole that nobody else knows about. Most of Coach Waterbury ' s extra- curricular activities are centered around athletics. He has a long list of hobbies, which include: playing soccer; x-country skiing; hiking; raquetball; fish- ing; and D.J.ing for weddings. He runs the Plattsburgh State Soccer Camp during the summer, as well as, helping out at other camps around New York and New England as a guest lecturer. The newest hobby of Waterbury ' s is hockey, which he has been doing for about six months. Mr. Waterbury ended the interview with kind words to say about the stu- dents here at P.S.U.C. I really like the students. I find them all to be very friendly, receptive, and supportive. The enjoyable thing is that you see stu- dents from all walks of life, New York City, Plattsburgh, other states, and other countries. Denis Dufresne 776 Athletics Cardinal 1988 117 Cowan Renews Enthusiasm he 1987-1988 Cardinal Men ' s Basketball team, a group of hard-working, overachievers won the hearts of both the student body and the Pitts- burgh Community. With a brand new coach and renewed enthusiasm the Cardinals surprised many opponents with some big victories. The season started with P.S.U.C. winning its own Cardinal-Pepsi classic with victories over Johnson State and Hawthorne Col- lege. Junior guard Dave Campbell was named the Tournaments MVP. Impressive S.U.N.Y.A.C. Conference victories over Bingham- ton State, Cortland, and New Paltz put the Cardinals into position for their first post-season play-off bid in years. In non-league play the Cardinals posted wins over arch rival Albany State and former division one school Utica College. Seniors Neil Vanslyke and Mark Mclntyre, both 6 ' 6 , provided Cardinal fans with a lot to cheer about as their leadership and dedication was an inspiration. Next season ten player ' s will return including S.U.N.Y.A.C. assistant leader Matt Moore and Dave Campbell, the teams leading scorer with seventeen points per game. Freshman Scott Randolph and Matt Vredenburgh both contributed tremendously with big games received from Tim Penix, Todd Kiernan and Tom Herkerham giving Coach Cowan and Assistant Coach Jim Mullins a great foundation for the future of Cardinal basketball.

Their guard jill Vivlamore was also the Lady Cardinals center. Vedder and Kilcoyne joined into the season in the spring semester of 1988. The Lady Cardinals tipped-off their season with third place and one team member being named to the All-Star team, Suzanne Souza, at the St. John Fischer Tournament in Rochester. As the ' 87 semester came to an end, the women cagers were 3-3 overall and 1-0 SUNYAC competition. When 1988 arrived, it brought new hope for the women to strive for a SUNYAC bid and a chance for the ECAC ' s, both involving post-season action. Their toughest challenge was to face nationally ranked at 5, SUNY Cortland. The Lady Cardinals ended up with two losses from Cortland with the most disap- pointing loss being played at home. In this game the women lost by eight points which left them in sec- ond place for the SUNYAC standings. Late in the season with only three games left the Lady Cardinals were SUNYAC bound with a record of 5-3 in SUNYAC competition. Suzanne Souza poen , a four year veteran (ill Provost moose , a two veteran and Anne Kelly banany who joined the team for their first year, will all be graduating this spring. All three of them not only gave 110% while in the game but also added a tremendous amount of leadership for the younger players. Provost and Souza were both captains this year along with Dixon who was a junior. Good luck to all three seniors in their future endeavors. Kristen J. Trembley 123 7 -  . -4 V V Cards Hope for Cardinal Hockey Sweet Repeat he defending NCAA Cham- pions of Division III ice hockey were about to em- bark on the most difficult season ever at Plattsburgh State. The Cardinals of the 1987-88 season were put to the challenge every time they stepped onto the ice. Searching for their own identify, the Cardi- nals were looking for some new faces to make an immediate impact. Freshmen left winger, Christian McCrath (15-17-32) proved to be a major contributor, and continued to score on the highly productive white line. But, the real production was to come from the returning veterans whose maturity and ex- perience was needed if the Cards were to re- peat as champions, loey Ferras (21-45-66), the senior All-American, surpassed David Piromalli as the all time leading scorer at Plattsburgh, and was a front runner for the Hobey Baker Award. Accompanying the senior tri-captain on the red line was sophomore standout Shane W 561 -4640 PROOUCTS Ferras, joey ' s younger brother, (24-26-50) and se- nior left winger, Tim Collins (21-17-38), who ex- ploded for two hatricks in the first five games. Senior tri-captain, jeff Bunyon (12-23-55) and se- nior center, John Henrick (11-17-28), were the other two members of the aggressive front line. Bunyon, a speedy, explosive right winger, and Henrick, and excellent play-maker, have jelled to- gether the past few years to make one of the most dangerous combinations in college hockey. The offensive, but equally defensive, power- houses on defense, were Chris Panek (6-17-23), drafted 11th in the NHL supplementary draft, and sophomore Dave Doncette (10-22-32), who tallied ten goals by mid December. Head Coach, Steve Hoar and new assistant coach Glen Ciovanucci, were not just relying on the goal scorers to lead the way. They were hop- ing for a couple of key role players to perform, no matter what. Forwards, Bobby Hayden (6-11-17), a junior center, and jerry Dineen (7-9-16), a sopho- more right winger, were to be the main grinders wearing down the opposing team. Senior tri-cap- tains, Dan Marshall (3-21-24) has played the most games ever by a Cardinal and has the most expe- rience in NCAA competition as a defenseman. Scott Sommerville (3-10-13), a junior defenseman, added much needed intensity and determination in the second semester to stabilize the Cardinal blue- liners, jamie Reidy (3-10-13), at 6 ft. 2 in. and 215 lbs, was the most physical player. But on the ice and kept the Cardinal goal clean throughout the year. The goal tending was equally shared be- tween senior Tony Matino (10-5) and junior Craig Bannett (8-4).

The team plays during the spring season at the field house. They also travel to other schools for away games. New York, Vermont and Canada are some of the places where the team plays. They have played against such teams as: St. Lawrence; St. Michael ' s; Siena College; Skidmore College; Burlington; SUNY at New Paltz; Canton; Potsdam State; Clarkson; and Vassar; to name a few. The team usually plays every weekend in a two game home or away series. It ' s been regarded as the fastest game on foot. The Lacrosse team con- sists of a dedicated group of talented players, and both veterans and rookies play in the true spirit of the game. Bill McCabe 128 Athletics T. Keenan, C. Corroon, C. Hess, M.

Cardinal 1988 129 Intramural Action he intramurals depart- ment had yet another very exciting year under the direction of Leilh Bardon, Kyle Page and Tom Horstein. In the be- ginning of the semester, activities be- gan with men ' s flag football and vol- leyball while the women took part in the very popular sport of volleyball. The second part of the semester fea- tured indoor soccer, involving both men and women, co-ed bowling, and the semester ended with the sports of broomball and floor- hockey. The Bruise Brothers came out on top of both these events. During the spring intramural sea- son, one is able to participate in bas- ketball, softball, women ' s broomball and team bowling. The department is looking forward to incorporating wa- ter polo in the department roster next year because of the great stu- dent demand for the sport. Intramural cordinator, Tom Horn- stein, emphasizes the importance of these sports for the students. Horn- stein says that involvement in these campus interactive sports helps stu- dents let off steam and meet new people. He went on to say, It is quite interesting to watch students participate in the sports because some are serious while others just want to have fun. Tom also stated, The intramurals program here at Plattsburgh State is very strong com- pared to other schools in that there is such a wide involvement on the part of the students. Hopefully, the continuing success of the intramurals program will always remain an important facet in the students ' lifestyles. Ryerson Mausert 730 Athletics r ardinal 1988 133 Cardinalettes Kick Off a Great Season he Plattsburgh State Cardinalettes Kick- line has come a long way since it was started six years ago. The group presently has 30 women on the squad and all are dedicated to increasing crowd enthusiasm. The girls perform at half-time, along with the cheerleaders. Their routine consists of a combination of kicks and dancing, both of which require lots of skill and hours of practice. The group selects dance music that they feel will help get the crowd involved and spirited. During the rest of the games, the Cardinalettes cheer along side of the cheerleaders, doubling the sideline excitement. This year, the girls plan to perform at a local nursing home and have already celebrated cheer- leader appreciation night. They also performed in the Homecoming parade and at various community functions. In the future, they hope to get more chances to spread the Cardinal spirit. Maureen Piche 134 Athletics Three Cheers of the Cards he Plattsburgh State Cheerleaders are an essential part of all home or away Basket- ball games. This group of high-spirited girls practices a mixture of dance and acrobat- ics-style routines in order to boost team morale and audience participation. We do this because we enjoy the enthusiasm and we love to perform, says one member, but also because we really want our team to win. The girls put in a lot of long hours in order to ensure that the routines run smoothly. Timing and caution are important in order to avoid accidents in certain formations. Many of the girls consider cheer- leading a performance sport, an activity which re- quires just as much strength and agility as any other sport, plus a superhuman amount of energy, no matter how the game ' s going. This year, the girls provided cheerleading compe- titions for area high schools and plans to sell Easter carnations and candy. Member Dawn Delora has only one complaint, I wish we could participate in more than Basketball games. It ' s been a great way to show my spirit for the school and an overall great experience. Maureen Piche Photos by Dana Mennerich 136 Athletics he Burghy Club is Pittsburgh State ' s most enthusiastic social club. This group of about 100 members tries to organize student participation at Basketball and Hockey games, and at the same time, increase participation from the whole community. Burghy ' s is really the name for all three cheer clubs: Cheerleaders, Cardinalettes and the pep club. At each game, the members organize a student section and send around the team mascot, Burghy the person-sized Cardinal. The club also lets kids get involved with face-painting, and sometimes they distribute tee-shirts and buttons to help pro- mote the teams and spread spirit. In the future, the group looks forward to greater organization and participation from students and community. As their ranks swell, so will the excitement and fun of the game. Says Burghy member (and alias Burghy mas- cot) )amie Lane, It ' s a great way to go to an athletic event and cheer our team on! Maureen Piche 138 Athletics Cardinal 1988 139 In With the RIGHT Crowd Indoubtedly, the most memorable parts of your college career are the people who make up your daily life; the ones you live with, party with, and yes, even the ones who push, pull and jostle you in certain situations. A memory of the recesses of every graduating senior ' s mind will be of the everpresent crowd. It all starts at orientation when you ' re shoved into a building for the first time in your life with several hundred teenagers. Once actual classes start, you find crowds around every corner; waiting to pay for books, in the dining halls, or filling the seats of a lecture hall. They become a part of everyday life. Next, you ' re initiated to the downtown scene. Never, anywhere, have you seen so many people pressed into a tiny building and having fun at the same time.. Some people shun these crowds for the quieter bars or small parties, but most students love being among the masses on a Friday night. At concerts, crowds go wild in unison, yelling, pushing, dancing and still, managing to have a great time. Some of the most important crowds hang out at the mall, rushing through doors with sale signs hanging over them. Then there are always the exam crowds, where you can count a multitude of students that you never knew were in your class. Bursar lines are notoriously long and frustrating and the P C on Friday nights can create a lasting impression on a student shopper. Crowds wipe out the snack food isle and liquidate the beer coolers before you can even get a wagon. Of course, some crowds are much more pleasant. The Field House has been the cite for thousands of cheering fans on more than one occasion. These crowds have the power to make the arena shake and roar with every home goal. At the end of your college days, the best crowd of all awaits you. Most students don ' t mind the long speeches and the hot day or even the heavy gowns and the never-ending line; this is the crowd you ' ve been patiently waiting for. Your life will go on with lots of people filling up the hours but these experiences will never be quite like the jam-packed Sundowner or the College book store on Sell-back day. Nothing can ever compare with the masses of people that helped make up every day of your college life. Maureen Piche 740 Athletics Photos by Dana Mennerich 142 Athletics Cardinal 1988 14.) The old concept of ' all work and no play ' is something that I, along with most Plattsburgh State students, do not agree with. Every per- son has a different lifestyle of his her own, and Plattsburgh is one place to come that will satis- fy almost all. To start with, we have dorm life. Many dif- ferent activities available to all are; dorm pic- nics, dorm council, and floor dinners. On the contrary, there is off campus living. This is one step closer to being in the real world ' . When off campus you are now a part of the commu- nity. You may face the following; electric bills, water bills, grocery bills, neighbors that don ' t exactly like the idea of living next to rowdy college kids. ' On the other hand your neigh- bors might become your best friends and en- joy your company for nine months out of the year. Opportunities for athletics at P.S.U.C. are never-ending. From indoor track to bowling, we offer them all. When the students at P.S.U.C. want to un- wind from their daily academic routines, their greatest dilemma is, quite often, not what to do, but what to do first. There is such a variety of leisure-time resources available to the stu- dents that there is rarely a dull moment in Plattsburgh! Lorna Thomson Denis Dufresne 144 Lifestyles 145 CASTLE or CAVE? Life in the dorms at P.S.U.C. ummer comes to an end and the eager student looks forward to a year of ex- citement at P.S.U.C. After a long trip from home, parents and students un- pack the family car, check in with dorm registration and find that home away from home . Then, Mom and Dad say goodbye and wish you well. Freedom strikes! Away from home and on your own! Dorm Sweet Dorm! The students first apartment is without the burden of washing the family dishes, feeding the dog, mowing the lawn and all the other home responsibilities. The student doesn ' t even have to clean his her room. He or she has the choice of picking up or stum- bling over dirty clothes and falling over beer cans. Laundry, however, is another story! Why aren ' t those clothes April fresh? And what happened to the bright whites? i After arriving, the first decisions are made with- your room-mate. Questions such as: Which bed do you prefer? , Which closet would you like? or How should we arrange the room? must be answered. Furthermore, living in a square room with a peer can have its ups and downs! Different per- sonality types must be conquered, such as the slob versus the meticulous or the book- worm meets the metal head. Thus, the rook- ies have fun working out a friendship or at least some sort of compatibility. While roomies, who have been together for three years, usually are comfortable to be themselves. They can kickoff their shoes or say you should really clean that moldy coffee cup! Also, complete freedom is not always the case. The resident assistant is the watchful eye. Don ' t carry beer in the hall or please keep the noise down are statements heard from the R.A. Most, however, try to be friends. 746 Lifestyles N Photo By Bob Bishop The student should commend the hardworking individuals that run the dorm smoothly. Dorm council keeps the student informed about campus and dorm events, as well as dorm gossip. Some of those personals are juicy ! Juicy or tasty, however, may not always be the terms used in the dining halls. Dorm eating is quite an experience. The hungry stu- dent is forced to enjoy the scrumptious food served. Either starve and dream of home cooking or eat Marriott. The dorm dweller usually accepts this reality and does not complain; the food isn ' t that bad! Besides, the holiday dinners are a nice treat for the on- campus eater! Mail seems to be a highlight for many. The desperate, homesick individual will sit by the mailroom an hour before opening! But disappointment usually results; NO MAIL. Unfortunately, phone bills do find their way to the empty mail box. Of course, the dreaded news has the telephone lover scrap- ing for every penny to pay that $72.25. The empty beer and soda cans are brought to the Grand Union for the needed refund. Then a personal pledge is made: I will call my girl boyfriend once a week, my best friend in Oswego once every two weeks and Mom and Dad once a month. If the student is lucky, the telephone pledge will last a month! Priorities attack the innocent student. Should we study or watch Cosby ? Studying, of course, is a necessary part of dorm life. The conscious student decides to tackle the pile of books. It is not easy, however, to read three chapters in Psychology while listening to the neighbor ' s rockin ' stereo. But an attempt is made before the frustrated student heads for the library. Dorm life can be a challenge, but living in the dorm can help the student learn to live with others. Life-time friends can be made in the college dormitory. Memories of chatting with neighbors in 300c, popcorn while watching Family Ties , Saturday night par- ties, Sunday football, dorm picnics, stereos blasting, hallway laugh- ter and meeting variety of people, can last for many years to come. The P.S.U.C. student will always remember Dorm Sweet Dorm. Tina Caswell Cardinal 1988 HOME ECONOMIC 101 m—m he refrigerator is empty, the last roll of toilet paper is strung around the house from last night ' s party, and the odor of socks has drifted into the apartment next door. These are just some of the problems off- campus students encounter. But students sub- ject themselves to this claiming they LOVE IT, despite the hassles. You can find these students in the kitchen, opening a box of macaroni and cheese instead of treating themselves to that delicious Mar- riot food. To get these delicacies, they do the weekly shopping at the food havens of Grand Union, Price Chopper, and Chuck Wagon (for those little extras they forgot). In the aisles, you ' ll find students scratching their heads, comparing prices and deciding between Oreo cookies and Doritos. The object is: to stay within the budget. Their budget must also include the dread- ed laundry. Students desperately hunt for quarters to wash their socks and underwear that have collected on the floor and in their closets for weeks. Some students brave the system and steal services at the dorms. And just when the last pair of socks has been matched, the vicious cycle starts again. But despite the conditions of these apart- ments, the campus community looks to these places for weekend entertainment — the be- fore hour and after hour parties. Students won ' t forget those infamous evenings at 92 Court, 84 Court, 80 Broad . . . , and the list goes on. So, whether it ' s a home-away-from-home, a pit, or a party-haven, an off-campus apart- ment is definitely an interesting experience. Students can have some of the best and worst times on their own, but they always add up to unforgettable memories. Trudy Caswell 750 All Photos by lorge Resto All PKnlnc h ( t rat Pt cln V 4. 4.

Your years at Pittsburgh State are the perfect time to experiment with the lat- est or the wildest looks. So, when you ' re strolling through the College Center, or hang- ing out downtown, look around and see what you ' ve got to choose from. You ' ll be amazed. The hottest fashions for this year include mini-mini-skirts (a flashback to the go-go days), stretch pants and genuine Ha- waiian shirts. Some guys are tying their hair up in neat, little ponytails and many girls are clipping their locks with multi- colored bows or big clips. During a typical school day, cam- pus girls can be seen in anything from acid-wash jeans with short cropped sweaters, to tailored pants or dresses. Guys vary between the casual camouflage pants with hockey jer- Pholo by Bob Bishop 154 ■.Ill, 1 . ,.. 1. . ' ■• . seys and the dressed up pleated pants with dress shirts. However, not all students go for the fads. Some prefer the old, classic preppie look, with rugby shirts, cashmere sweaters and beat up docksiders (without the socks). The Dead- heads can be seen on sunny days playing Hackey Sack and sporting tie-dyed shirts and ripped jeans. The humanities major is usually spotted drinking a cup of coffee, wearing dark, over-sized sweaters and baggy pants. The campus jocks are out in sweatshirts or jerseys and every kind of sneaker you can think of. Lettered jackets and sweaters adorn the campus Greeks. And then, there ' s the fash- ion-setters, the trend-makers, the girls and guys who take the chances, make the state- ments, and spend the money. Last, but not least, is the rest of the campus, the students who don ' t want to be a part of a par- ticular group. Instead, they reflect a little or all of them. All these styles make up the cam- pus fashion statement. Twenty years from now, we ' ll be glad to see the many looks that made up our college lives, we ' ll marvel over how the styles reflected the times, and undoubtedly we ' ll look at the old hair cuts and the wild fashions . . . and laugh.

One may classify the variety of vehicles in three categories: 1) The 80 s, 2) The Classics, 3) The Antiques. The 80 s category can be defined by the Transams and Corvettes. Where does the poor struggling college student get this dream car anyway? Then there ' s the BUG - one of the many classics. Our Plattsburgh campus buzzes with red, yellow and orange Volkswagens. Lastly, the antiques reveal the personality of the 50 s, 60 s, and 70s. Some might include the 1978 Chrysler Le- baron, 1974, Plymouth Scamp and the 1967 Ford Galaxy. Unfortunately, not every student gets to own a dream mobile and so must venture out into the daBy Plattsburgh Speedway on foot. Students without HOT RODS will have to fantasize with matchbox cars!

Steppenwott Cardhal 1968 159 CAMPUS CRUNCH Have you noticed the campus crunch? The most common and most frustrating sight in the campus park- ing lots this year is a car (or two, or three) continuously circling around the lot looking for a space. Often, stu- dents gi ve up the search and park on curbs, in front of fire hydrants or in tow-away zones; but they return only to find their windshield wipers clutching tickets. Many students believe the lack of parking is a real problem, but, never fear, the office of Public Safety is working with students and faculty to try and alleviate the situation. A President ' s Parking Committee was set up last spring to look into possible plans of action. Supported by President Warren and headed by Mr. Lawrence Lorch, from the office of Public Safety, the team is comprised of representatives of all groups affected: students, faculty, staff and union members. In the com- mittee ' s monthly meetings, they have worked out sev- eral possible plans that will satisfy both on and off-campus problems, as well as faculty staff parking difficulties. An immediate relief to students on and off-campus is already under way. A shuttle bus now continuously runs be- tween the Field House parking lot adja- cent to the football field, and the Angell College Center, during weekdays. The committee hopes that off and on-cam- pus students will use this area. Mr. Lorch explained that future plans for campus parking include add-ons to currently existing lots. On-campus students will gain an extra 125 spots on the lot behind the highrises. Off-campus students can count on about 60 spaces added to the lot beside Hawkins Hall. An increase of 35 spaces behind Redcay Hall and the Center for Canadian Studies will help with faculty and staff parking problems. These additions, the committee be- lieves, will sufficiently ease up the current crunch. Howev- er, funding, either from the school or from a special fund, will have to be acquired before these projects get under way. Tentative dates are for late Fall or early Spring. Will these plans solve the problem? Mr. Lorch believes that, under the new rules of control, people who have a right to park will have adequate parking. We feel that we are pursuing every area to increase parking in the future. Maureen Piche The Gallery section was developed to en- hance the photographic quality of the book, as well as, to offer an opportunity to any member of our student population to have their prints published in the Cardinal 1988. The photographs for the Gallery were ob- tained through a non-profit photo contest sponsored by the Cardinal Yearbook Staff. Any P.S.U.C. student could submit black and white photos containing any subject matter. The idea behind no specific theme was used to generate creativity and appeal to a wide vari- ety of tastes. This could also, in turn, help to make the photos as original as the photogra- phers themselves. This years contest was judged by three high- ly respected members of our faculty and com- munity. They were Mr. Neal Keach, from Pittsburgh ' s Blair and Weber Studios, Ms. Robin Brown, the official P.S.U.C. photogra- pher, and Mr. William Crosby art and photog- raphy teacher at Plattsburgh State. After care- fully reviewing the photos, the winners were chosen. The following pages contain the winning photos, along with several honorable men- tions.

Dana is a junior Environmental Science major who is quite active in pho- tography. His other hobbies include playing intramural hockey and working on computers. Congratulations Dana! 772 Gallery Sophomore Meg Kubic received our sec- ond place prize for her night scene (below). A Mass Communications major from New Hyde Park, N.Y., Meg is fairly new to black and white photography. She was not confi- dent about submitting her work because she felt that they were not good enough. How wrong she was! The vote was unani- mous. Congratulations Meg! Cardinal 1988 173 Drew Martin was awarded first prize for his informal portrait below. Drew is a senior, ma- joring in Management. Originally from Sea Cliff, N.Y., Drew began taking photos at the early age of eight. He has taken Photo I and Photo II, and has also worked as a teaching assistant for photography. A few of his photos were chosen as honor- able mentions, including the photo at the right. He enjoys skiing, bicycling, and sailing in his free time. However, his favorite pastime is photography. Congratulations Drew! Photo By Michael Bobnick Cardinal 1988 175 Seniors In Toms The time has come, it approached quickly, but its here. The time to say goodbye to mid- night buzz, Filions, the Royal, Reflections, Fin- nans, the Point and after-hours, to 8 o ' clock classes, midterms, finals, term papers, and li- brary thrills. So long to Homecoming, semifor- mals, rugby, hockey, Marriott, Monopole piz- za, and the best parties ever thrown. So, as we march down the aisle to Pomp and Circumstance, may every step we take be a reminder of the experience, knowledge, wis- dom and memories that Plattsburgh State has given us, and may we never forget our Alma Mater. It ' s time now to move on to bigger and better things. The real world is awaiting us. Let ' s go out there and be the best that we can be. Cheers, happiness, success, and best wishes to the graduating class of 1988.

When we, the students of P.S.U.C., reminisce about the 1987-88 school year we will know all these feelings and more. During the past year at Plattsburgh State, we have all grown as individ- uals as well as members of an ever-changing society. We have been witnesses to world events, sports events, fads, fashions, and trends that, together, compile our picture of what took place during the past two semes- ters. As the year draws to a close, the Cardinal Yearbook would like to present ' final Focus on the events that have marked this year in history. Lorna Thomson 226 Final Focus Cardinal 1988-227 Favorite TV Show: Late Night with David Letterman Favorite Actor: William Hurt Favorite Actress: Glenn Close Favorite Comedian: Bill Murray Favorite Comedienne: Joan Rivers Favorite Croup: U2 Favorite Female Vocalist: Madonna Favorite Male Vocalist: Jon Bon Jovi Favorite Album: Joshua Tree Favorite Movie: One Flew Over the Cuckoo ' s Nest Photo by Christine Marek 228 Final Focus Photo by Kathy McCarthy Favorite Restaurant: Butcher Favorite Class: Psychology 101 Block Favorite Pizza: Monopole ' s Favorite Marriott Entree: Subs dmired Man: My Father Least Favorite Class: Intro to Logic Favorite Beer: Budweiser Favorite Bar: Filions Most Admired Woman: My Mother Photo by Bob Bishop Cardinal 1988 229 Marine Lt. Col. Oliver L. North, was a key official in the plan to finance anti-government rebels in Nicaragua with money from arms sales to Iran. In testimony before the Iran-Contra hearings in Washington, North became somewhat of a celebrity. I 230 Final Focus In an effort to keep the Persian Gulf open to navi- gation, the United States began in July to escort vessels to protect them from Iran. In September the U.S. Navy blew up an Iranian ship that was caught laying mines in the Gulf. Several mines were confiscated. President and Mrs. Rea- gan greeted Pope Paul II when he arrived in Miami to begin a nine-city tour of the United States. Cardinal 1988 231 Dennis Conner, the man who lost the America ' s Cup in 1983, won it back four years later. The Stars Stripes completed a 4-0 sweep over Australia ' s Kookaburra III in the race that took place in Australia. 232 Final Focus The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco cele- brated its 50th birthday. About 250,000 people jammed onto the bridge for an anniversary walk across the span. Another 500,000 packed the bridge but approaches were denied access be- cause the engineers feared the span could not support the weight. Cardinal 1988 233 A barge filled with 3,128 tons of garbage became a national joke and a symbol of the nation ' s worsen- ing problem with solid waste management. The barge, looking for a place to dump its cargo, was banned by six states and three foreign countries before an incinerator reduced it to ash. 234 Final Focus Television evangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker re- signed after confessing to a sexual encounter with a young woman. Tammy Bakker bowed out of the broadcasts to undergo treat- ment for drug dependency. Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart was forced to drop his bid for the presidency after it was reported that he was romantically ivolved with Donna Rice, a 29-year-old aspiring actress and model from Miami. He later shocked the nation again by re-entering the residential race despite this scandal. Cardinal 1988 235 President and Nancy Reagan wave to well- wishers from the South Portico of the White House. Reagan escorted his wife back to the White House from the Bethesda Naval Hospi- tal where she underwent breast cancer sur- gery. Cardinal 1988 237 Fred Astaire Fred Astaire, who epitomized Hollywood ' s elegance for 25 years dancing in top hat and tails with Ginger Rogers and other stars, died of pneumonia in June at the age of 88. Liberace, the glittering showman and pianist who captivat- ed fans for four decades with an inimitable personal and musical style, died quietly at his home in February at the age of 67. John Huston, who directed such films as The Maltese Falcon and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre , died in his sleep in August at the age of 81. )ohn Huston 238 Final Focus tee Marvin Lee Marvin, the gravel-voiced Oscar winner who died in August at the age of 63, was remembered by colleagues as an actor who really was among the good guys even though he often portrayed the hard-as-nails rogue. Jackie Gleason, the rotund Great One who got laughs and riches as a blustering bus driver in the television series The Honey mooner, died in June at the age of 71. Lome Greene who for 14 years played the firm but gentle father to three sons on televisions Bonanza , died in Sep- tember at the age of 72.

Maureen Lynch Hmm . . . looks like fun! 240 Final Focus ot many people are willing to devote N -- so much time to such a tedious, tire- i some task. The yearbook staff. P Hmmm, looks like fun. I ' d get to see what the book looks like before it comes out! Maybe I ' d even get to put some pictures of my friends in. Well, that ' s not how it works. It is a big job, ask anyone who ' s ever done it. Deadlines don ' t un- derstand when you have a paper due or a test the next day. Time seems to fly by. You can find yourself saying, Next time I ' ll be more prepared. But, usual- ly when the next time rolls away you are twice as frustrated and twice as busy. So, it takes a special kind of person to devote themselves to this project. It takes a special kind of person to devote them- selves to any big project, whether it be Cardinal Points, ACB, Akeba, the Senate, PSTV or any other club that demands a lot of work, and gives back a little recognition. But the recognition lies in the chal- lenge that you ' ve met, and the self-satisfaction thai you attain. WE DID IT! WE DID OUR BEST AND IT ' S OVER!!!

The real world , which lies outside our sheltered existence, keeps getting closer and closer. It ' s realism is excit- ing but intimidating. There ' s so much to learn. So much to do. And sadly, there ' s very little time. I guess it ' s time to realize that I don ' t have all the answers. I probably never will. My only hope is that I don ' t lose the courage to ask questions, because the rest is up to me. It ' s up to all of us, isn ' t it? Let ' s strive to become the best that we can be. At best, we ' ll experi- ence the satisfaction of success. And, at worst, if we do not succeed, we ' ll have the comfort of knowing that at least we gave it a shot. Either way we ' ll never have to wonder how things might have been. But most of al we ' ll never be among those who are afraid to experience success or failure. Thanks for the inspiration Denis! Special thanks to Mom and Dad. You ' re the GREATEST! Best of Luck Class of 1988! Remember, it ' s up to you. •2 248 Index OL.O.P.H.ON Volume 72 of the Pittsburgh State University CARDINAL was published by the yearbook staff.
