For almost 100 years, students have attend- ed the University of Idaho. And for over 80 of those years the Ad- ministration Building has welcomed stu- dents, whether they be from mountain high or valley low or somewhere in bet- ween. (Photo by J.

For the 8,000 students who called the University of Idaho ‘‘home,’” the year will be remembered as a range of mountain highs, valley lows and everything in between. On the positive side, the Lady Van- dal volleyball team made the con- ference playoffs for the first-time and finished second. And the football team shutout the Boise State Broncos, defeated PAC-10 Oregon State and barely earned its third consecutive winning Season. Construction on the $10 million addi- tion to the Life Science Building pro- gressed at a rapid rate as students dodged bulldozers and dumptrucks on their way to class. And after completing two searches, the UI hired Tom Bell, College of Education dean, aS academic vice president. But mountain highs didn’t always prevail. College life wasn't always one big party. In addition to the daily hassles of maintaining grades, finding parking spaces and earning money to pay bills, frustrations continued. The Weber State Wildcats spoiled the Vandal’s victory bash during a rain-soaked Homecoming weekend. Only months after hiring three new deans, the UI found itself shopping for new forestry and education directors. The Argonaut made the news rather than reported it when four editors were suspended during an audit of the newspaper's budget. Four weeks later, the editors were reinstated and the dust settled. And students complained when they discovered Christmas break was trimmed to two weeks instead of the traditional three. But despite the valley lows, life went on. SCOPING.

Spiker) In between the victories and defeats, student life progressed as before. There were parties to attend, classes to skip, games to play and finals to dread. Life at the university went on. The events that had filled the days of our parents and friends continued. Greeks went through rush and com- mitted pranks and sneaks. Dorm members looked for a Wallace Cafeteria break and battled RAs for control of each hall. By mid-October mid-terms, the In- dian Summer ended. Winter roared onto the Palouse. The customary autumn transition period was seem- ingly forgotten as record levels of snow littered the campus prior to Christmas break. And for some, the break w as perma- nent as a few seniors moved on to the real world. But for most, the 16-day break marked only the beginning of MOUNTAIN HIGHS. Sally McNamara’s Charo imitation during Parents’ Weekend marked a reason for celebration. (Photo by P. Lauro) VALLEY LOWS.

College life might have includ- ed the tension-filled days of homework and hassles, but the valley lows were counterbalanc- ed by the mountain highs and everything in between. UI students traveled to Pullman for Huey Lewis and REO Speedwagon concerts. A rainy day and a football defeat didn't dampen Homecoming spirits. MTV and David Lee Roth were ‘in’? and video games and “new” Coke were “out” for fad conscious students. And as always, a space was a rarity. parking ven though New York City fashion was represented in colors of Electric Orange. Grabbing Green and Hot Fuschia, students still opted for rich and subdued colors to fill their wardrobes. Flat shoes and tapered pant legs were still a favorite long into the winter The weather of the Palouse definitely con- troled many fashion choices. More sensibili- ty in fit and warmth was chosen by most Long. tailored wool coats along with other warming accessories played an essential part in many student's layers of protection For the sunny seasons. denim separates made of various faded hues and designed with geometric accents were a favorite.

Even formal wear emphasized comfort. Dressed in a wool tweed sport suit, Layne Crea admires Kelly Schroeder, who is modeling a dropped-waist SHOWS ble in women's closets. Even women's undergarments were influenced by in troductions of cotton briefs, undershirts and boxer shorts which took the place of lace. The influx of masquline dress was not just a trend of the 80s. With more women entering the work force. the need for clothes that focused on one’s mentality and not physical attributes, had a great in- fluence on attire Men's styles were still conservative. Their dress was generally more practical, nothing much out of the ordinary. Occasionally a Gentleman's Quarterly magazine could be found but only in the possession of those more daring. Textures seemed to be impor tant in the choice of men’s fabrics. Roughly woven sweaters of bulky wools and tailored pants were a perfect choice for a variety of casual dress occasions. The basic suit and tie were not forgotten either. Most coats still followed designs with narrow lapels and broader shoulders. Pants were cut comfortably modest yet with no leg flare Androgynous dressing was also popularized for both men and women by the music and visual medias. But the unisex 1e veome dressing wasn’t necessarily only found in such fads. With women shopping in men's departments or opting for the designed-for- women equivalents most androgynous dressing was an American look of well-bred quality This expensive quality was also created with relatively little money. Thrift shopping not only became a trend of fashion but also one of necessity. Suits. coats, dresses shoes and many other wardrobe items could be found for great savings and great looks at the local used clothing store Idaho's fashion varieties showed more than what was popular, but also what the individual person's style was. Personalities were reflected through accessories. The Ways separate pieces were worn together also reflected peoples'interests and goals The wardrobe of a very distinct group also influenced many peoples’ daily looks This group never seemed to get out of bed early enough to put a detailed touch to their clothes.

Though there were numerous events that accomplished this none were quite as rewardirig and suc- cessful as the celebration of Christmas The commercialization of Christmas had started in late October for most of the country and the holiday was fit in at Idaho between the end of Thanksgiving break and the beginning of Dead Week. For two weeks the dorms, the Greeks and the off campus students engaged in festive and diverse activies While most of the students were home for Thanksgiving, the Moscow merchants, with elf-like magic, embellished the downtown sector with a multitude of lights and other holiday decorations. The malls too were gaily decorated with automated puppy dogs and sugar plum fairies that brought smiles to the faces of the young in years as well as the young at heart With the community far ahead in its celebration, students quickly followed its lead after returning from break. Within days, the university had received a face-lift replete with decorations and trimmings dripping from walls, windows and trees Campus bustled with holiday activities following Thanksgiving. The halls celebrated with dances, parties and infor- mal get-togethers, trying to cram in as much Christmas as they could before finals. Besides these activities, several halls tried new things to show their seasonal spirit Both Houston and Campbell Halls express- ed their sense of giving with Secret Santas For a week the women paired up secretly and gave each other small gifts to lighten their days. The women gained new friends as well as decorated doors, sweet treats and novelty gifts. “| went all week not knowing who my Santa was. | didn't have a clue. | was em- barrassed when | found out it was my own roommate.” said Julie Lees The Greeks were not ones to be outdone and the holiday season was no exception. Greeks preferred to celebrate in a more traditional family manner, with tree trimm- ing. house decorating and dinner parties A great deal of time was spent perfecting the exterior house decorations. The multi- colored lights set against a backdrop of white snow along Greek Row were reminis- cent of Hallmark Christmas cards. Like the dorms. the Greeks spent time with their sisters and brothers celebrating the holiday. At Sigma Chi, the main lodge floor was turned into a formal dining room where the men served their little sisters Weekends were made for celebrating, but during the week students attended class.

Many who would be returning to their family homes for the holi- day settled for small decorations hung in their houses. The more permanent Moscow students celebrated with trees. songs and small family celebrations The holiday festivities transpired within the two weeks following Thanksgiving. Then came the abrupt halt. Instead of parties and presents, students returned to textbooks and tests. Christmas was put on hold. For many students, Christmas was over by the time Dead Week had started. And by the end of finals it was difficult to believe that Christmas was still three days away With finals complete, students rushed home to their families. With the pressure of finals relieved student's spirits began to lift and they regained their holiday cheer The season appeared newer. fresher and more enjoyable But left behind were the mistletoe browning Christmas trees and discarded wrapping paper, as well as the memories No matter how they celebrated the Christmas season. there was definitely no place like home for the holidays Jon Erickson ners and gift (Photo by T.

She also noted how she was impressed with people’s endurance to withstand their con- fining costumes. The Law School students had an oppor- tunity to put aside their studious images at a party of their own, while once again Upham Hall became the social center for the dorms when it threw another successful party.

But for all it spelled the final chapter in a phase of life known as college. Graduation The culmination of four, five. maybe six years of work all ended in a single day. a single moment For most it was a time of sadness. a time of reflection. a time of hope. Ahead lay the real world of the eight-to-five job And behind lay the memories of a college career filled with good times and bad; of flunked tests, old friends and Saturday mor- ning hangovers.

Oh sure, the diploma case given to us on stage is empty (the actual diploma probably will not arrive for another six months), never- theless the symbolism was the same. We had completed the required subject mat- ter sufficient to allow us to be called col- lege graduates. So what was it like to go through graduation? In truth, it was a kind of a grab bag of emotions. The entire graduating class assembled in the north-side stands of the ASUI-Kibbie Dome. All were dressed in black robes with black mortar boards and multi-colored tassles dangled from our caps. A few wore colored cords draped around there necks, identifying seniors graduating with honors The various academisions lined up before us dressed in similar garb. Our pro- fessors’ grad robs were adorned with the various PhD capes awarded for their academic insight. And then all at once we lined up and marched in. Marching to the tune of “Pomp and Circumstance’ row upon row of seniors filed passed friends and relatives seated in the south stands.

His opening remarks were followed by an address from a government dignitary about life and United States in general. But during this speech. most graduates were either not paying attention or passing Lifesavers, champagne or notes to one another After this initial general assembly, the graduates marched out and were directed to various individual college ceremonies. The College of Letters and Science. the largest college at the UI, remained in the Kibbie Dome for part two. After about a 30-minute wait. we all again lined up and marched in. This time the number of people receiving diplomas easily fill the numerous chairs earlier used during the opening ceremonies.

We each had the option to keep the mortar board and were also offered the chance to pur- chase pictures of us receiving our diploma (we now understood the reason behind the blinding flash), Each of us could even place an order for a Gem yearbook. That was it. Our collegiate pasts were now a memory and our professional futures loomed ahead. But whereas the future was yet to come, we all could look back on our college days.

(Photo by P. Lauro) few days ago I was talking about how when | was a kid we used to get an annual winter urge. It went something like this: Daddy speaking to mama. “Let's pack up the kids and go to the snow,” Until | mov- ed to Idaho, snow was simply another amusement park, like Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm — good enough for a few day's play, but once you tired of the cold and the wet you retired to the Oldsmobile for a comfy ride back to warm suburbia Having come from such a sheltered background, it was no wonder it took me such a long time to adjust to winters in these parts My first cold day in September found me bundeled up in thermal underwear — | didn't get warm for seven months. And after a year or two. my blood finally thickened and before long, | was able to run barefoot to the mailbox clear into November. But by the time the snow season rolled around, it was time for a lesson in physics Or chemistry. Or something As we all knew. water froze at 32 degrees Farhrenheit. It was a truism we all learned when on those winter mornings you trund- ed your winterized bod out to the old VW on a 26 degree morning only to find the windshield laden with ice. lf you allowed your southern climate reflexes to work. you reacted in the same way you used to on one or two really cold mornings in the old country. You got a pan of warm water from the kitchen, tossed it on the windshield and you either had a half-inch thick sheet of im- penetrable ice looking you in the face or a lovely spider web-like cracked window, And once you learned to chip the ice pa tiently from the windshield, you also learn- ed how to confront a frozen car door lock. Dynamite was always a good remedy. but less painful and certainly cheaper was a handy pocket lighter. Of course it took the bettr part of my first winter in Moscow (it was the worst winter in ten years or so the old timers kept tell- ing me) to learn all this stuff And because | was petrified to drive on the ice that accumulated on the streets. | found myself choosing to walk. Only | found | couldn't walk much better than | drove | slipped and slid and fell down a whole lot. I'm told the trick is learning to change your center of gravity so it was always above your feet; you may look funny walk- ing on ice, but it was better than a perma- nent bruise on your backside. But with all these things taken for granted, there were a few of winter's gifts that were really hard to get used to. | never became accustomed to ice on the inside of double- glazed windows. shampoo bottles that froze in the bathub or what happened to your hair when you didn’t use the hair dryer one morning. Overall, | guess the lesson was, once a person hailed from a warm clime, always from a warm clime. That held true. until the warming sun shone down on the Palouse hills in the spring, and reminded all that a Moscow summer was no different than a Sun Belt winter. O Snow seemed to be a never- ending nemesis at Idaho. Even during the Silver and Gold Day kiosk dedication in late March, Flip Kleffner, director of alumni relations, and numerous onlookers were forced to brave an icy blast. (Photo by R.

(Photo by P. Lauro) new atmosphere was created for the sick and wounded. There were no more buzzing flourescent lights and no more cold hard linoleum floors. And students no longer had to face magazines that were reminiscent of the Carter-Reagan debates. After the remodeling of the Student Health Center the cold, impersonal at- mosphere was injected with a strong dose of cushiony carpet and soft, indirect lighting. Comfortable chairs and new tables placed in various spots around the room gave ailing students an almost private palce to wait for a doctor. Not only was the appearance of the infir- mary remodeled, the functioning of the center was also reorganized to better serve the students. Case loads decreased by an average of 10 per day. But not because students became more health conscious. They continued to abuse their bodies in the collegiate tradition. The cure came in the form of a team physician hired by the football team which cut down on pulled muscles and broken Preparing a blood sample was one of the chief jobs of Louise Hughes, the only trained medical technician at the Stu- dent Health Center.

Until about 1980, all three floors of the infirmary were used as a full-service hospital with a 70 bed capacity. However that too changed. The third floor now houses the offices of the Washington.

Not only did WAMI take over the bed space, but the Geology Department ac- quired the second floor and basement Because of increased expenses, it was necessary to close the in-patient infirmary With a load of approximately 80 patients per day, the staff took the necessary steps to get patients through quickly, without dehumanizing them Dr. Leonard's office was a place many students sat for a bit of advice and an ex- planation between a virus and bacterium.

They also made sure a magazine was handy if they didn't have time to personally care for each student. What could 80 people a day possibly be ill with? According to Leonard, upper respiratory problems made up most of the cases. Sore throats, colds, and bronchitis were also frequent complaints of students. Leonard also mentioned that many students, especially the married students made use of the various family planning programs offered by the center. The infirmary also worked very closely with the Student Counseling Center. And many times a student was sent to the infir- mary by a counselor for physical treatment. Between the work of the two centers. students were better able to cope with the rigors of student life. For freshmen, that first lonely visit could have been an intimidating experience. But with the remodeling and the sincere con- cer of the Health Center staff, a visit to the infirmary was beneficial in the healing of disease and homesickness. julie Lees 1 A recent addition to the Stu- dent Health Center, the -Vac thermometer provides a digital reading of Laurie Foster's temperature within 30 seconds.

This test consisted simply of a maze with an entrance. an exit and obstacles to overcome between the two. Little did these great men know that many years later the administration would perform this same great experiment on all UI students in the form of registration. Registration changed very little this year Returning students still found it was possi ble to forget where they were supposed to go and new students wondered if they would ever figure out the system. There were a few additions including preregistra- tion for computer and engineering classes And television monitors were used to notify Students often found registering for classes dif- ficult and sometimes needed assistance.

This aided students in work- ing out their class schedules, which need- ed to be approved by advisers prior to registering The following morning the maze began Students migrated to the Dome at their assigned time which was determined by their last name. Once they arrived they stood like cattle in a chute, awaiting the chance to get their class schedule card Once they obtaind this, they proceeded to one of the Dome benches or a table and a chair and filled it out By this point most students had little problem making it through the maze. but they soon realized it could become much more difficult Students then attempted to sign up for the classes at the time periods that they wanted.

Suddenly it was very dif- ficult to get through the maze without backtracking and rearranging schedules With this part accomplished, students paths varied. Some proceeded on to finan- cial aid to pick up checks, while others went straight on to fee assessment, But no mat- ter which direction students went they were accosted by Gem staffers selling yearbooks and by Blue Keyers selling directories. Once schedules were completed and fees paid, students were able to gain a glimpse of some of the organizations and activities that had set up booths. It was also at this point where students received free gift packets to make their stay at school more comfortable As students browsed and relaxed they realized they had successfully made their way through the maze and had passed the test.

Classes of instruction ranged from outdoor classes in archery, backpacking and bicycle touring to indoor classes of weight training, swimnastics aerobics and raquetball.

The store had a display table set up at registration, where questions were answered and free samples were awarded. Convenience meals, bulk foods, yogurt. cheese, milk. peanut butter and other snacks seemed to be the most popular items sold to students and more women shopped at the store than did men. ‘We have a wide range of people who shop here,” the store owner commented. “and the one thing they have in common is that they all want to eat well Hoola-hoops and disco dancing originated as crazes. but unlike earlier fads, fitness remained and established a healthy national consciousness. “Now it's a way of life,” Hultztrand said.

First, it gave a source of income distributed throughout the school year as part of a student's financial aid package. Second, it gave a student a job and ex- pericence either in his or her chosen field of study or some other area of interest. And third. it provided a needed service to a department During the academic year, about $620,000 in financial aid was filtered through CWS. When a student applied for financial aid, a Pell Grant was the first type of aid considered. If. after a Pell Grant, a student's financial need was greater than $600, he or she was eligible for work-study. Six hundred dollars was the minimum amount of money offered for CWS, which amounted to about five hours of work per week for a year CWS was the only one of the financial aid programs which had no limit, either per year or for the entire time spent in college, on the amount of money that could be earned. The average wage for a CWS job was about $4.20 an hour, which was up from the previous year’s average of $4.05 per hour. Individual supervisors determined the actual pay rate. Criteria for getting a CWS job were the same as for other campus- based aid; that is, an individual's financial need for the academic year was the deter- mining factor. A work-study job gave a student an out- side interest; something beyond the routine of classes and study. On the average. CWS employees spent twelve to fifteen hours a week at their jobs. A maximum of 40 hours a week or eight hours a day existed, though it would not have been feasible for a average student to actually work that much. After receiving CWS, a student was shown an availability sheet, which was a list of jobs held in previous years. The stu- dent's top five choices were checked along with any work which the student would not like to have. This was the basis for place- ment so that students could get jobs they would like. Graduate students and upperclassmen had first choice of jobs in their chosen fields or requested areas.

According to Sebald. demand far ex- ceeded the supply of work-study students The work-study job request forms were sent to all colleges and departments in the spring. At that time, anyone who wanted employees filled out the form for the same positions as the previous year, and any ad- ditional jobs The CWS employees were not paid out of the individual departments, 80 percent of the funding was federal, while the re- maining 20 percent was from institutional matching funds CWS was an effective way of lessening the heavy financial load of students, while giving valuable experience and developing outside interests.

While some students entertained themselves at movie theaters or recreation centers, others found the most enjoyable way to entertain themselves for a night was to wander through the Palouse Empire or Moscow Mall. There they could relieve their checkbooks and wallets of an extra dollar or two. or merely window shop and wish. The malls also provided neutral territory for the popular sport of scoping. Moscow's restaurants and bars enabled students to find a place to escape, whether it was from the Wallace Cafeteria or from the pressures of school. Student con- noisseurs had their choice of restaurants that catered to the most finicky eaters. Such institutions as Gambino’s specialized in Italian delicacies, while Mikey's served Greek styled tacos and Cavanaugh’s and University Inn-Best Western furnished an appropriate dining experience to impress any date And like the restaurants, the bars of Moscow had something different for everyone. The popular dancing spot was . W. Oyster's, alias P. W. Hoseapple’s, Hoser's, Hosemonster’s, and Oyster's. In fact, they played different types of music every night, so there was something for everyone, be it punk or rock. Other bars were famous gathering places, such as Mort's, Rathskeller's, and the Corner Pocket. One establishment, Sit-n-Soak, sup- plied more than one kind of bubbles. However. students did not have to leave campus to find ways to have an active night life. With the university in town students could attend university sponsored and associated activities such as the Palouse Performances, the UI Theater pograms. sporting events and musical concerts it was not difficult to find something to do any night of the week. be it the bars or the movies. But often students spent their nights with the television. a good book. or a highly prized good night's sleep OQ For the true sportsmen, going “fishin’” at Gambino’s was a great way to start the week- end.

A blue sticker. which cost $10, allowed students to park in perimeter lots such as at the SUB or at the Dome. A yellow sticker with a price of $30 permitted park- ing in more centrally located lots. The core lots, such as those near the Administration Building and next to the Buchanan Engineering Lab, were the best parking spots available. ‘The permits are overpriced, especially considering how much parking space there is. When | pay that much for a permit, | ex- pect to have enough places to park that | can park reasonably close to my dorm,” said Michelle Gibbs. “It's just unreal how many people are expected to park their cars in so few spaces. ’ she said An added frustration was the fact that students with WSU permits could also park on the UI campus, making the parking shor- tage even more acute. Off-campus students who usually parked in the SUB lot often found it crowded with cars bearing WSU permits. Forced to find other parking places. some had to park far from their Sticklers for sticker colors, students could either pur- chase a blue sticker for $10 or a yellow one for $30, Cars caught without a sticker could be fined or impounded.

This was the second time in three years the progressive jazz group played in this area. The hit Australian pop group Air Supply was the final fall rock performers to appear at WSU. Incorporating an expensive laser light show into their concert, the group played its many hit ballads. According to band member Graham Russell, the concert’s success was largely attributed to energetic fans. “Air Supply has always tried to involve the audience as much as possible,” he said. “We like to make them feel as close to us and vice versa.”’ After the musicians had come and gone, the focus of fall festivities took a dramatic turn. Three theater productions provided par- ticipating students a chance to act while giv- ing spectators a real treat. Closing the month of October was the university's production of Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes. Kim Lenz played the lead role of Regina Giddens, a cold blooded southern belle, who almost made Scarlett O'Hara look like a saint. Her performance was critically acclaimed by several reviewers, as was that of Rosemary Loughmey playing the part of Birdie. In November the hills of the Palouse were enlivened with the Sound of Music. a Moscow Community Theater production. Opening exactly 25 years after the original Broadway premiere, the three-hour production featured, singing, dancing, live orchestra music and family drama, With only a $4,000 production budget, Director Ed Chavez used innovative set and costume techniques. The all-volunteer orchestra, led by Tom Richardson, also helped in cutting produc- tion costs without trimming the quality of the play. The use of local child actors also made the event refreshing and enjoyable. The final fall theater production was the December debut of Shakespeare's comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. n the UI pro- duction, children were cast in the roles of fairies.

In January and February dancers from the Idaho Dance Ensamble were in residency on campus. Several performances were choreographed by Carl Rowe and Hillary Neely of the Sun Valley-based organization The duo also did some dancing of their own, As part of its “Celebration °85,” the American Festival Ballet. performed Rhap- sody in Blue and four other ballets in the UI's Hartung Theater Other spring dance performances were given by the UI Dance Theater and Moscow's Main Street Dance Company. “Dance fever’ spread throughout the spring semester fueled by the UI’s annual Jazz Festival, as well as several big name rock concerts. As one of the biggest Jazz Festivals in the Northwest, the Ul’s Lionel Hampton- Chevron U.S.A. Jazz Festival 85 provided three days of big-name jazz entertainment in late February Vocalist Dianne Reeves and her trio wooed a packed audience in the SUB Ballroom. Highlighting the festival was an all-star concert featuring Lionel Hampton. Freddie Hubbard, Stan Getz, Hank Jones, Ray Brown, Michael Carvin, Anita O'Day and John Poole Hundreds of high school and university jazz students were also on hand to perform free of charge. And the sounds they played made students want to get up and dance. And that was exactly what hundreds of UI students did at the April Resident Hall Association's spring formal. All residennt hall members were invited to the event held in the Gualt-Upham cafeteria. The live rock band U.S.K. played and by the time the party was over nearly $1.500 had been spent on the final RHA event of the year. Meanwhile, five nationally known rock ‘n’ roll bands and a famous comedian made appearances at the WSU Beasley Perform- ing Arts Center between January and May. Bryan Adams set Pullman on fire from the moment he stepped on stage in January. This concert promoted his newly releas- ed Reckless album, but included a blasting rendition of several of his Top-40 hits and misses. Huey Lewis was back to the Palouse in February to remind his fans that the heart of rock n’ roll was still beating. March brought the talent of Neil Diamond to Pullman. And although students were out of town due spring break, some came back a day early to her the “Jazz Singer’ at his best. Diamond also sang many of his older songs To top off the rock year. REO Speed- wagon teamed up with Survivor to turn the wheels round and round. The center literal- ly shook with excitement during the con- cert. The shaking was caused perhaps due to the high volume rock of both bands. The final WSU attraction of the year was veteran comedian George Burns. He highlighted Mom's Weekend activities by joking about such old stand-bys as his age and parenthood, Celebrating his 80th year in show business, Burns gained recent recognition due to his role as God in the movie Oh, God! Some knew how to make us laugh, some knew how to make us cry, but all knew how to entertain. And whether it was a rock n’ roll concert or a graceful ballet dip. there was something for everyone — be it high. low or in between.

Possessing an 8-22 record, basket- ball fans and Chris Carey (21) were equally disappointed. (Photo by T. Frates) In sports, Vandal athletes ran the gamut of mountain highs to valley lows and everything in between as Idaho teams finish- ed first and last. For Idaho, the year was a boon to women’s sports. The women’s basketball team earned a berth in the NCAA tourney, while the volleyball team made the conference play- offs for the first time ever. And Head Coaches Pat Dobratz and Pam Bradetich were recognized as tops in their fields. For the men, it was primarily a year of valley lows as the bas- ketball team limped home with an 8-22 record and the football team’s hope for a conference crown faded early. W hen Idaho began its football cam- paign, the spirits of the coaches and players were high, especially Head Coach Nennis Erickson’s. But then the injuries hit The Vandals lost four key defensive players and two offensive players before their first game. Scott Katz, Frank Moreno, Tom Hennessey. Mike Johnston and Steve Jackson all fell early in the season to serious injuries — all of which required surgery. Faced with an unneeded burden, Erickson had to move people to different positions and start with less experienced players. Another person who found himself in a new position was sophomore Scott Linehan. Linehan was expected to fill the shoes of former quater- back Ken Hobart who had moved from the Idaho pro- gram to the professional football ranks.

Erickson’s words held true as the Vandals were whipped by the Titans 28-7 in temperatures ranging around 100 degrees in San- ta Ana, Calif.

Eric Yarber, who had been leading the team in recep- tions, was also injured Again, Erickson was faced by the evil that haunted all football coaches. injuries Coming home to open the Big Sky Conference season was not a pleasant thing for Erickson and troops as the Montana State Bobcats brought their own air-show to the Dome. MSU had everything to gain as they came off a 1-10 record in 1983, and returned with several starters to their lineup. With Sloan replacing Linehan at QB, Idaho led throughout the game. But when the fourth quarter ar- rived, Idaho saw its 21-10 lead slip and ultimately lost the battle 28-34. With their record falling to 1-2, the Vandals were again faced with a big challenge. when the Pacific Athletic T by Pain” Conference Oregon State Beavers invaded the Dome. Still plagued by injuries the Vandals soundly thumped the Beavers 42-21, due to an outstanding defen- sive effort. “They just played great.” Erickson said. With Linehan returning to the starting lineup, the Van- dals traveled to Reno to play the University of Nevada- Reno Wolfpack, But even with Linehan back the Van- dal offense stuttered and UNR outlasted Idaho 23-17. ‘We just needed two or three minutes more and we would have had this one.” Linehan said, Now 0-2 in BSC play, the Vandals returned home to play the Weber State Wid- cats for Idaho's homecoming game.

But perhaps her top honor came in May 1984, when the South African runner collected something even more impor- tant than a track medal — a diploma Entering the fall season, Norris admitted no “one” person could ever replace Shaprles. ‘Looking at Patsy's records we have several in- dividuals who may surpass continued � € hris Schulte demonstrates his leadership qualities as he moves to the front of a group of runners at the Pelleur Invitational held In Spokane, Wash.

Janet Beaudry, Lisa Tylor and Pam Paudler. For three of the runners, the season proved to be a banner success, but for Crang, the fall harrier season was one of injuries and sickness. The women won their first meet, the Palouse Invita- tional, on September 15. Beaudry captured the event with Paudler taking second and Crang third. But the team lost some depth too, as Crang fell sick. The following week, the women harriers placed se- cond at the Whitman Invita- tional. At both the Eastern Washington Invitational and the Mountain West Con- ference championships, the team placed third. The highlight of the Moun- tain West championships. ac- cording to Norris, was the se- cond place finish of Paudler and the third place finish of Beaudry. But Norris’ biggest thrill came when Tylor rallied to a seventh place finish by turning in her best perfor- mance of the season. Crang. meanwhile. missed the MWC finals due to another bout with the flu. Because of their ranking in the top three in the MWC finals, Paudler and Beaudry advanced to the NCAA District Vil Championships in Heber City, Utah in mid- November. At the meet, the women combined with the men's Big Sky Conference finalists. and Paudler and Beaudry recorded a 10th and IIth place finish respectively. At the Big Sky Conference finals, the Vandal male har- riers recorded a disappoin- ting seventh place finish. Scott Lorek. first-year men’s head cross country coach, was saddened by the ogether team’s overall lackluster per- formance. Since 1981. the men have either finished last or next to last among the eight-team Big Sky Conference. The male harriers, who run a 10.000 meter (6.2 mile) course, were led throughout most of the season by sophomore Tom Bohannon. Bohannon, who placed ninth at the Fort Casey Invita- tional in September and took 12th place at the Eastern Washington Invitational meet in October, led all UI runners at both meets. According to Lorek, in ad- dition to Bohannon’s fine ef- forts freshman Chris Williams was the team’s most improv- ed runner. Williams finished just behind Bohannon at both the Fort Casey and Eastern Washington meets Thus the fall season was a transition for both teams The women overcame the loss of Sharples while the men continued to build for the future, © E order to stay competitive, a runner must stay In shape.

Vandalettes were required to learn routines quickly and be able to perform them accurately “Often we would not have a totally complete routine until a few days before we were to perform.

Although technically the Vandalettes were a part of the UI Marching Band. their performing role in front of crowds often made them seem a separate entity. This put a lot of pressure on the dancers. Urbush said “If one of us dropped a flag or rifle, everyone in the audience would see right away.” she said Team member Heather Huetting said the pressure she faced was sometimes almost too much to handle. Once. during a performance, she started a dancing se- quence too early. “Group One was to per- form first and then my set was to go.

Others added that Bukvich was fun to work with because of his sarcastic sense of humor. Reasons why women in- itially joined the Vandalettes were varied. Bukvich said many joined for fitness and to keep active. Another in- centive to join was the many trips that the group went on, he added. However, according to Simpson, the pride of being in the public's eye enticed many girls to join and work hard for the group. “Vandalettes gained a feel- ing of accomplishment,’’ she said. “by going out on the field and Promina that we were able to provide people with entertainment that this university could be proud of” O Bz. mentally as well as physically prepared for a perfor- And Trisha Wright awaits the cue which will spur the Vandalettes to action.

But it was at that point, where the frustration finally set in Following the SMU tour- nament, the Vandals drop- ped their next six games in a row. The reason Trumbo gave for the lack of success during that six game stretch. and ultimately the remainder of the season, was due in part to frustration, bad luck and a bad break Ulf Spears developed his first problem with his ankle In the Toledo tourna- ment just after Christmas, and the situation with Steve Ledesma came to a point where we didn’t take him on that trip,’ Trumbo said And we just never really W ashington State University is “right across” the boarder from the Ul, but as far center Steve Ledesma (45) is concerned, the term ‘right cross” is carried too far by a WSU player.

What causes a person to hit a game-winning home run or merely pop up? Why do some basketball shots go in and some do not? Was it skill? Maybe. Was it luck? Possibly. Or was it the color of the socks the coach was wearing when he sat down to a breakfast of three eggs. a bowl of wheat germ topped with no more than six peach slices and two pieces of seedless rye bread at exact- ly 9:57 a.m.? Undoubtedly. Whether it was clothes. jewelry, gesticulations or what one had for dinner. athletes and superstitions were as inseparable as gum from the bottom of a shoe. Players and coaches alike were known to endure idiosyncrasies some people might have called supersti- tions and which others con- sidered just plain kooky And although profes- sional athletes were best known for some of their superstitious antics. coaches and players at the Universi- ty of Idaho developed or copied a few cross-your- finger habits of their own Among the coaches who hoped luck was more than just a four-letter word. was Men's Head Basketball Coach Bill Trumbo. “| sort of have some superstitions,” Trumbo said. “Like if we lose a game and I'm wearing a certain necktie, hen he first arrived at idaho, Basketball noon Trumbo was Erseomes with a number of different colored towels, But for the lucklest results, the second-year coach said he likes to chew on fuzzy, white ones best. (Photo by M. Kimberling) All you need is | don’t ever want to wear the same combination of shirt and tie, coat and tie, something like that.’ “Yeah, and if he has a year like last year,” said Assistant Basketball Coach jim Halm refering to Trumbo and the Vandals’ 8-22 record, “he'll run out of clothes to wear.” “Last year, | was down to alternating my underwear with certain coats and ties,” Trumbo joked. “But I've always looked for omens or signs in certain situations.” Trumbo added. “Like if I'm getting a bad feeling from a certain motel or something. we'll move somewhere else.’ Another item in which Trumbo placed a lot of faith was the towel he carried in his hand on the sidelines dur- ing every game “| could not coach without something in my hands,”’ he said. “| use a towel because if | want to say something bad, | just say it into the towel. “Also if | get a towel that wins, | use it again.” Trumbo related the story when after the Vandals won two games in a row a couple of seasons ago, he lost the towel he had carried in the previous two victories. “After beating Northern Arizona for our second win in a row, | put the towel down in a corner in the locker room and | guess Dick Melhart. trainer, or somebody put the towel in the laundry bin. | went through every towel in that bin trying to find the right one again. “But I didn’t find it, and we went into Nevada-Reno and | had to break in a new towel.” The result: UNR 83, UI 70. As far as the characteris- tics Trumbo looked for in the towels he used this past season, he said “just a good white towel. | don’t like those ribbed ones or those stiff ones, just a nice, fuzzy, warm one.”’ Another head coach who, like Trumbo, relied on his wardrobe for good luck was Dennis Erickson, “| think everybody has superstitions,” said the Van- dals’ third-year head football coach. As for me, | wear the same sweater and same shirt for every game. | do wash both of them before every game. though.” One superstition the en- tire football team held dear involved the sign hanging in the Vandal locker room “When the game is tight. one of the team captains will ask us to touch the ‘Vandal Pride’ sign over the locker room door on the way back out to the game and we all slap it when we leave. ’ said tailback Ricky Love. Another football player who was bitten by the superstition bug was wide receiver Eric Jorgenson. Jorgenson had a special attachment to his mouth- piece. It was the only one he had used since high school. Whereas the male athletic teams would seem to have possessed some of the more colorful superstitious hang-ups, one female team had a ritual it performed prior to every game which in- volved leather strips. According to Head Volleyball Coach Pam Bradetich, the women spikers tied a two or three inch piece of leather to their right shoes as a sign of team unity prior to every game. “There are a number of strips,’’ Bradetich said, “and all of the players and coaches will take one and wear it during the game. All of the pieces are tied to one _Sports Superstitions —“?- big strand and divided out prior to each game.” As far as her own super- stitions were concerned, the first-year volleyball coach jokingly said she prepared for each game with, “Lots of beer.” She added that much of her team’s pre-game prepar- ation involved music. Music plays a big part, Bradetich said. “| know some of the players wear certain headbands, depending on their uniform.” The Vandal spikers may have used leather and music to ready themselves for a match, but Head Tennis Coach Jim Sevall took an en- tirely different approach to motivating his team, He rewarded his team after a match, not before. “Whenever the team is playing well, we reward them with a big meal, maybe steak,” Sevall said. “There are just not many ways they can be rewarded, “Personally, the only superstition | have is | tend to eat the same big meal before each match.” As a team, Sevall said some of the players like to wear the same socks “‘and stuff like that. But tennis players aren't as superstitious as other sports. Tennis is more individual, it's not like baseball or football.’ he said. Thus whether it was basketball. football, volleyball or tennis, every sport had its share of superstitions, suspicions and traditions. And who knows, maybe it was luck that caus- ed a winning touchdown pass to be caught, that hit a home run or that sank a win- ning basket. And then again, maybe it was just plain skill.

It was a year in which the Vandals finished the regular season with a 26-1 overall record and national rankings in the UPI, AP and USA Today- CNN polls. When Dobratz sat down at the beginnning of the season, she thought the Van- dals would have a “good chance of winning big. It’s nice to accomplish that.” Dobratz said The key to the Vandals success in Dobratz's view was the way “the team came together quickly. In each game, we played better and better and got a bit more confident.” In addition to the team’s near perfect record, Dobratz was happy with the recogni- opponents in a state of shock last season with her quickness and speed.

The Idaho women shot a season high 72 percent from the floor that night. making the 95-79 win one of the most memorable events of the season for Dobratz and her team. “It was as near of a perfect game as you can have,”’ Dobratz said of the victory which avenged the Vandals’ only loss of the season.

In the meantime, the Vandal women rec eived more press coverage than ever seen before. Dobratz at- tributed the additional press coverage with the increased number of fans attending the women’s games Other highlights for Dobratz included the break- ing of the University of Mon- tana’s undefeated home game winning streak of 46 games.

That was until this year when the UI women’s basketball team for the first time in the school's history hosted the Mountain West Conference playoffs For the 2,000 fans who re- mained on campus during spring break to witness the Lady Vandals’ championship games, the stay was worth the wait “There were no low points in the season,’ said Head Coach Pat Dobratz. “It just rolled from one stage to another and if it were winn- ing a big game or leading this or getting ranked or whatever, the season was one continuous highlight.” And the games that placed the women in the limelight were the MWC playoff finals held in the ASUI-Kibbie Dome In the opening game, the number one ranked Vandals drew the number four rank ed Lady Wildcats of Weber State College. The Vandals had defeated Weber twice during the regular season and showed no signs of let- ting up in the playoffs. After forging a 47-28 halftime lead, the Vandals pulled away in the second half to coast to a 94-68 win. The victory upped the Van- dals’ record to 27-1: a record that gave the Vandals a chance at an at-large berth in the NCAA playoffs | orward Kris Edmonds goes _ for two of the 80 points Idaho up for a shot against the Montana Grizziles during the final game of the MWC playoffs.

And beat them they did Buoyed by the win over Weber on Friday night. the Vandals came out on Satur- day gunning for an NCAA berth. But things at first did not go well for the Vandals, as the defending MWC champion Grizzlies knotted the score at 13 early on. But at that point Dobratz went to her bench and in- serted guard Netra McGrew into the line up. McGrew pro- vided the spark the Vandals needed as the team rattled off 10 unanswered points —84_ Women’s Basketball — scored en route to a 80-57 win over the defending MWC cham- pion Grizzlies. (Photo by D.

In ceremonies held im- mediately after the victory over Montana, guard Robin Behrens and forward Kris Ed- monds were named to the MWC’'s_ All-Conference honorable mention team while forward Mary Westerwelle was named to the league's second team The lone Vandal picked to the conference's first team was center Mary Raese The celebration surroun- ding the Vandals’ victory was short lived, however. On the following day. the NCAA pairings were announced and the Vandals drew the defending national cham- pion University of Southern California Trojans for an opponent In addition to hosting the Vandals, USC also boasted the number one women’s player in America, Naismith Trophy winner Chery! Miller Not only were the cards stacked against the Vandals, but USC held the top queen. Admittedly entering the game, Dobratz recognized the Vandals’ chances for vic- tory were no more than 50-50. but she remained optimistic But her optimism wavered when it took the Vandals 14 minutes to score 10 points and at halftime Idaho trailed USC, 23-42. Things looked no better in the second half as Olympic gold medalist Cheryl Miller led the Trojans to a 74-5] triumph. The Vandals ended the season with a 28-2 record and even though the team ended the season on a sour note. Dobratz vowed her team would return once again After sampling the good life. “the taste of defeat in our mouths is more of an in- centive to return next year and go farther in the playoffs.” Frank Hill © NSQyuaae ¢ o ra a KE Tao.

Playing a fall and spring season, the team competed as a member of the Pacific Northwest College Rugby Union. The rugby team has been a member of the Union since the spring of 1984 In this league the Idaho ruggers competed against seven other Northwest col- leges (the University of Washington.

Whether it was going to the movies. the bars, a par- ty or just doing something to take one’s mind off of school work, every student at the University of Idaho sought relief at one time or another. But whereas almost all of the above listed study- breaks cost money, one pro- gram offered at Idaho was free and available to the public. The program was in- tramurals and it gave students a chance to par- ticipate in a variety of sports. experience team comradery and beat one another to a pulp. Of course it was sometimes difficult to call the Idaho intramural program a means of relaxation when one was massaging a newly formed callus or rubbing a stiff elbow or two, but never- theless, the university IM program accomplished its goal — it made students forget about their books and focus their energies on “playing the game.” And as in the past. frater- nities. sororities. dormitories and off campus groups banded together to try and best each other on the court, on the field and in the bars. Intramurals took on a new look when the pool tourna- ment was held in downtown Moscow at the Corner Pocket Lounge. The IM pool tourney had to find a new home when earlier in the semester construction removed the SUB’s pool | tables and replaced them with IBM computers. The one hitch, however, to moving the pool tournament to a bar was that for the first time all participants had to be 19-years of age to play. Nevertheless, the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity and Alpha Gamma Delta sorority over- came all obstacles and pocketed the pool cham- pionships. Last season also marked a return to form for Upham Hall. Upham, the 1983 in- dependent champion. recap- tured the overall dormitory and off campus crown in 1985 after finishing second to Gault Hall in 1984. And being that turnabout is fair play, Gault was the runner- up to Upham in 1985.

After working hard all season. injuries, illness and bad luck proved fatal to any chance the Vandals had of capturing a national title. But little did the team know just how fatal the swimming season was to be. Because in late April it was announced that due to budgetary cutbacks. the UI women's swimming program was to be dropped beginn- ing in 1985. And by 1986. the Vandal men’s swimming program was also to be eliminated. Nevertheless, entering the 1984-85 season Coach Frank Burlison felt his men’s team. while very young, was one of the most talented he ever had.

Root led the team to two big victories over arch-rival Central Washington University. The wins marked only the third time UI swimmers had defeated CWU in the previous twenty-four seasons. “They were the defending National Champions for Divi- sion II. Burlison said. “So beating them was a big win for us.”’ Burlison noted sophomore team captain Chris Petry gave the team the inspiration they needed all season long. And for his effort. Petry was voted the Most Inspirational Swimming suffers -_ f TO iq C Swimmer at the end of the year by his teammates. Supplying experience on the young Vandal team was senior, Jack Keane. Keane held three school records entering the season “The team had a mid- season slump but then we swam very well at the end of the season at the Pacific West meet,” Burlison said He added that part of the team’s problem was the loss of Root after winter break because of grade problems. As the season entered its final stages, freshman Gavin Holles picked up the team’s slack by winning the con- ference meet in the 200-yard butterfly event and was a member of the record- setting team in the 400-yard freestyle relay. In addition to Holles, members of the 400 relay in- cluded freshmen Chad Bray. David Zimmerman and Ross Johnson. The team also set a school record in the 200-yard freestyle relay. That team was comprised of Bray, Johnson, John David and Aric Moss. On the diving side of the pool, freshman Darryn Moore set a school record in the 3-meter event For his effort on the year, Holles was voted the team’s Most Outstanding Swimmer He also participated in the Junior National Champion- ships in May. Although no Vandal made the Division | Nationals. Burlison was not disappointed ‘Making the Division | Na- tionals is tougher than mak- ing the Olympics Burlison said. “You have to be one of the top 15 swimmers in the event in the world.” Whereas the men’s team was loaded with youth, the women's team was small in numbers but big on talent. continued � ‘ ae Perrin shows her form off of the 3-meter board as the North Dakota native prepares to enter the water during practice.

The team's Most Valuable Swimmer from last season, Tonya Nofziger, missed most of the season with a shoulder injury. But picking up the slack for the women was sophomore Charene Mitchell who swam well all season and did especially well in the Division Il National meet, Burlison said At the national meet, she placed among the top 12 finishers in two events and scored the most points for the team. The Vandals finish- ed in 22nd place overall. Burlison noted at nationals. “Most of the points in the meet were scored in the relay events and our girls did not do so well there.” One reason for the team’s lack of success was due to il- Iness. Star sprinter Tracy Thomas. who recorded some of the fastest times in the league during the year. got sick near the end of the season and her times at na- tionals reflected her recent illness The women finished their season with a dual meet record of 6-2 and they won a relay meet at the CWU relays. Perhaps the most welcome addition to the squad, was freshman diver Jennifer Hunkele who finished in 12th place in the 3-meter diving competition at the national meet. Her exceptional finish was made truly remarkable, Burlison said because before she came to the UI she had never dived off the 3-meter board. By season’s end. the Minot, North Dakota native had set school records in all four of the women’s diving competitions and was voted the team’s Most Improved Swimmer Burlison also lauded the ef- forts of sophomore Tracy Zimmer, who swam well in the butterfly and individual medley event. and senior Jennifer Norton On the whole Burlison said, “Except for the mid- season let-down we were pleased with how things went, both the men and the women swam very well.” Tom Liberman () ennifer Hunkele proved the old adage that practice makes perfect as the freshman diver prepares for a dive off of the 3-meter board.

We were just starting to develop,’’ Mather said, “and then spring break came and that disrupted our progress After break we got in one game and then had 13 games rained out. It was real- ly frustrating.’ But what was even more frustrating to Mather was the way his team started.

The incident in question surrounded the placing of Anna DeLaCueva in the number two women’s tennis slot at the MWC playoffs. DeLaCueva, who was in- jured prior to the playoffs. tried to play in the number two tennis spot but was forc- ed to default due to her injury. According to conference rules if a player was injured, everyone in the lineup should be moved up a posi- tion.

We had one player who was injured and couldn't play. With her injured we entered her in the number two spot anyway so we wouldn't have to move the rest of the team up. That way, they could play in the same positions they had been all season.” Thus on a vote of the league coaches. it was ruled Sevall had violated con- ference rules and Idaho's se- cond place finish was void- ed. The Vandals ultimately wound up in seventh place. In addition to losing its se- cond place finishing, the in- cident also removed Idaho's three individual champion- ships. Pam Waller and Karine Wagner were stripped of their respective number five and number six singles titles, and Wagner and Smith were denied their number two seed doubles crown. The decision of the com- mittee certainly didn't please me. especially the timing of the announcement.” Sevall said. “We had completed play and thought we did very well when they told us.’ Meanwhile. prior to the MWC incident, Sevall and the men’s tennis team ven- tured to Boise and captured third place in the Big Sky Conference championships.

For the Idaho women, it was the long distance runners who determined success The outcome: the Idaho men placed second in the BSC and the women took fifth in the MWC. All season long. Keller's men’s team had lived and died by the sprint. And at the BSC championships, his sprinters ran true to form winning the 100. 200. 400 400 relay and 1.600-meter relay. Keller's problem, however. was not that his team did poorly, it was that the Vandals received no help from any of the other BSC participants “All we needed was a little help,” Keller said. “After win- ning the 200, other coaches were coming up to me and saying ‘Great job. you've got it won. Because with only three events remaining (the 1,600-meter relay, pole vault and 5,000 meters). all Idaho needed was to place high and prevent Northern Arizona University from rack- ing up a lot of points, and the conference title was in the bag The Idaho sprinters did their job as Dave Smith. Sam Koduah, Everton Wanliss and Chris Stokes won the 1.600-meter relay. but NAU finished second In the pole vault, Idaho's Steve Ott cleared | 5-feet 4-inches to finish fourth. But NAU placed first And what hurt Idaho above all else was in the 5,000 meters NAU runners took first and second. All Keller could do was stand and watch as no runner from any other school challenged the NAU runners for the two top spots. “Nobody gave us any help, that's for sure.”’ Keller said And that lack of help hurt the Vandals as NAU scored 129.3 points to win the con- ference title while Idaho claimed second place with 126 points Yet as disappointed as Keller was about the Vandals second place finish, he was pleased with the individual performances of many of his runners. Smith, who ran on both the first place finishing 400 and 1,600-meter relays, also won the 100 and 200-meter dashes.

Koduah won the 400 meters, was a member of both winning relay teams and and finished second to Smith in the 200 meters Koduah’s winning time in the 400 was good enough to earn him a trip to the NCAA championships In addition to competing on the winning relay teams, Wanliss finished third in the 200 and fourth in the 100 meters while Stokes took fifth and third in the 200 and 100 respectively Other winners for the Van- dals included Tim Taylor. who threw the shot put a personal best of 60-0.

Climbing to new heights, tightrope- walker Gregory Hertel achieves total equilibrium. (Photo by P.

From all over the globe, a hodge-podge of men and wom- en experienced a year of moun- tain highs, valley lows and ever- ything in between. From a 17-year-old freshman leaving home for the first time or a 69-year-old grandmother, there wa sn't a ‘“‘typical’’ student at Idaho. Together, this unique mix of students studied and partied their way through the year. As freshmen helped each oth- er locate the UCC and Brink Hall, seniors encouraged each other as they prepared resumes and interviewed for jobs. University of idaho Aw was a great way to show spirit and provide the wearer with a lifetime keepsake. And as Karen Helbling found out, the price was also a factor to be con- sidered, (Photo by P Lauro) ollege costs have been soar- ing upward for the past decade and 1984 was no excep- tlon. However, in spite of increased prices. nearly two thousand students managed to complete their school- ing at the UI. But while many of those graduates had an- ticipated marching pro- udly through com- mencement exercises, few of them con- sidered how expensive graduation would be. ‘| thought that they'd have to wheel me through com- mencement.’’ said graduating student Gary Lundgren ‘because it cost me an arm and a leg just to pay for all of my grad- uation gear.” Lundgren’s ex- penses included a $10 registration filing fee. $13 for a bachelor's cap, gown, and tassle, and $2 for an honor cord. And those costs were just the beginning. According to Alumni Office Ad- ministrative Secretary Dodi Bell. graduating seniors could con- ceivably spend hun- dreds of dollars on fees, graduation pic- tures, having resumes printed and on moving costs “It's certainly not get- ting any cheaper,”’ she said. “I don't think anyone has ever really studied all of the ex- penses involved, but there would be a lot to study.’ Students graduating with masters or doctorate degrees could expect to pay even more than undergraduates. she said. Students whose college or major re- quired a special gradu- ation hood could also be subjected to another $9 charge. “To top it off,’ Bell said, “if you were late ordering any of those things. you could be forced to pay late charges.” Late orders on caps. gowns, tassles, or hoods would cost an additional $5. she said. According to the registrar, late filers for graduation would simply ‘‘pay the price” by being denied the right to graduate that semester, Other costs associated with gradu- ation were also high.

Some design students requested some really unusual ones, which made them much more ex- pensive.” Reese said. Local photographers offered graduation photo packages for as little as $40. or as much as $120. Moving costs also varied depending on the stu- dent and his destina- tion. But costs aside, most students were just glad to be getting out into the “real world” with a college degree.

He lacked a weapon to protect his charge: his hands were lost in bat- tles past. But things began to look up. Help was on the way. The soldier was a statue, perhaps the oldest semi-intact relic on campus. It was erected to commemo- rate two students who died fighting in the Spanish American War But over the years, the students-turned- soldiers were forgot- ten. The plaques dedi- cated to their memory were stolen from the base of the figure and the statue _ itself became the object of pranks and vandalism More than a decade ago. the rifle, hands and campaign hat of the statue were destroyed by vandals. The old soldier stood neglected — but not forgotten. Then one day the statue was taken away for repair. The savior was Bud Washburn, who had restored a number of other monuments, in- cluding the Nez Perce warhorse statue at the Nez Perce County Courthouse in Lewiston Washburn, who says he is not han- dicapped. used pro- stheses for limbs. “I've trained them to do wha t | tell them.’ he said. When the statue was damaged, the university tried to have it fixed or replaced. but found that the manu- facturer had long since gone out of business. But the school did find that the statue was not made from a cast, as they originally believ- ed. but rather was a unique. original piece of art Interest in restoring the statue had been ris- ing for years, according to Terry Armstrong. executive assistant to the president.

After two years of deliberations and discussions, WSU adopted an early-start calendar similar to the UI's. But the new schedule designed to foster cooperation, created a few headaches as well. It was soon discovered the graduation cere- monies of both schools were scheduled for the same day The Faculty Council met to resolve the pro- blem.

She hadn't used a resume in the past but with gradua- tion approaching, Arp wanted to project the best possible image to future employers. Costs for preparing a resume were $21 for 30 copies, which covered typesetting and prin- ting charges. “It's kind of expen- sive, especially since I'm going to have to do it all over this semester due to a change in my GPA but, it’s well worth it,” said Arp. She had interviewers com- ment on how well her resume had been put together and_ its professionalism.

(Photo courtesy UI Athletic Department) The All-Big Sky Con- ference cornerback survived the Gold's roster cuts to become a member of the USFL franchise. But Loveall’s trek to the ranks of profes- sional football was not that of a trailblazer. In the 1984 USFL draft, four ex-Vandals were selected by profes- sional football teams. In the 1984 winter USFL draft, Ken Hobart, Steve Seman. Brian Allen and Kurt Vestman were all pick- ed. Hobart was picked in the second round by Jacksonville, Seman in the 12th round by Oklahoma, Allen in the 15th round by Oklahoma and Vestman in the 16th round by Pittsburgh.

At the start of the USFL's 1985 season Hobart was waived by Jacksonville and was subsequently attemp- ted to latch on with the NFL's New York Jets. Seman, meanwhile, was cut by Oklahoma during its 1984 training camp. Allen faired just a lit- tle bit better. Although he too was cut by Oklahoma. the ex- Vandal wide receiver was picked up the NFL's Washington Redskins. But after spending time on Washington's disabled list, he was released in late 1984, Vestman also suf- fered a similar fate.

But whereas the 1984 USFL’s UI draftees faired none too well. another ex- Vandal picked by the NFL in its summer draft of 1983 is presently doing quite well. “Super” Sam Mer- riman was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in their June 1983 draft. and for the last two seasons has been a reserve linebacker Playing on special teams and occasional- ly on defense, Mer- riman received na- tional exposure when in the waning moments of the Seattle-Miami Dolphins playoff game of December 1983, he recovered a Dolphin fumble deep in Miami territory that led to the ‘Hawks eventual winn- ing score. Yet football was not the only sport where Vandal athletes have proved their worth. In the summer of 1983, three Vandals were drafted by teams in the NBA. Point guard Ken Owens was selected by the Seattle Super- sonics, fellow backcourt mate Brian Kellerman was selected by the Houston Rockets in the seventh round and Phil Hopson was tabbed by the Portland Trailblazers in the ninth round. Although these three former UI gr eats failed to make their team’s final rosters, all three are playing professionally. Owens was most recently playing for the Athletes-in-Action- Canada Christian tearm. He was joined by Kellerman in the fall of 1984, after Kellerman had spent time playing ball in England and throughout Europe Hopson also con- tinued his professional basketball career, play- ing in Australia. But it was perhaps the efforts of another former Vandal who gained the most recognition through his basketball skills.

Sawyer said about half of the UI vet students are over 30, and probably 50 of them were age 50 or older. « oe About 67 percent of these students, Sawyer estimated were mar- ried and had three children. Their age and background, as well as their social and family needs, set them apart from traditional stu- dents. According to Sawyer, as a group the vet students had much in common “They all want to get through school as quickly as possible. because they don't have any time to waste,” he said He added that vet students were highly motivated to complete their degrees. and were far less likely to change their majors. than more traditional students. They start out with a better idea of what they like.” he = said. “They've already work- ed and traveled, and they've decided what they want to do Education is more a means to an end for them.” The university didn’t have complete records as to the number of married students since many lived off campus and their marital status was not recorded. But Don Surfus. assistant dean of students in charge of family hous- ing, estimated nearly 300 married students lived in the apartments offered by the univer- sity In many of the fami- lies, one partner work- ed while the other at- tended school.

Thanks to $5 million in state allocations and $5 million raised by UI bond sales, the exten- ny thought of a quiet lunch out- side of the Satel- verlooking the north face of the old Life Sclence Building. the addition will add dozens of classrooms for graduates and under- graduates alike, The addl- tion was built on land formerly housing the UI Art Gallery. (Photo by M. Swanson) sive revitalization plan was put into action. Although at first the project remained on schedule, in August it became clear certain aspects of the project were over budget. Reese said several bids for phases of the build- ing were $800,000 too high. One phase running over budget was the fresh air intake system The intricate mechan- ics of keeping 100 per- cent fresh air in the en- tire building was neces- sary because many stu- dent experiments in- volved toxic and bac- terial components. Yet although the cost of construction was running over budget. the way in which the addition was contrac- ted set a precedent in Idaho, Reese said He explained this project was an experi- ment in a ‘‘construc- tion management for- mat.” This format divi- ded the Life Science Addition into special- ties for several contrac- tors. Rather than taking a single bid from a single contractor for the entire project from excavation to drywall, the building was par- celed out to a number of contractors, he said. Reese stressed the building addition would not just serve a few, as three different colleges would benefit from the facility; Letters and Science. Department of Biological Sciences, Agriculture, and the Department of Bio- chemistry and Bacter- iology While the new por- tion would house “state-of-the-art” lab- oratories for graduate students, about half of the original Life Sci- ence Building would be remodeled to serve un- dergraduates as well. The remodeling was scheduled to be com- pleted within the first week of classes in the fall of 1985 and the ad- dition was scheduled to be finished by January 1986. And once the remod- eling and construction process ends, life can return to a quieter pace outside the Satellite SUB. O Martha Abbott, Soph. Lewiston Alicia Acuff, |r. Moscow David Adams, Fr..

And then the 1982 article con- cerned the Vandal men’s basketball team But in September, a story appeared in the College and Pro Foot- ball Preview issue of Sports Illustrated that listed Moscow, Idaho as the second worst college town in the United States. Only Pullman, the home of Washington State University, was rated a less desirable college town than Moscow The author of the ar- ticle, freelance writer Doug Looney. said he did not use any criteria in determining the col- legiate rankings. “T was thinking of WSU as being the worst because they were playing pretty good football.”’ Looney said, ‘‘and Moscow is nearby, and well, | thought if | pick- ed on one, I'd pick on the other as well. “It was an amusing article. he added. “but I've been in Moscow and it's really not all that bad.’ Despite Looney's ameliorating tone, shortly after the arti- cle’s publication, local newspapers ran col- umns and letters to the editor blasting Looney's blacklisting.

With the pass ing of new federal legislation. students faced a threat to their right to drink During the sum- mer, a bill passed re- quiring all states to im- plement a 21-year-old drinking age by Oc- tober 1986. For Idaho this meant changing the drinking age from 19 to 21 within two years. If Idaho did not change the drinking age, the state would stand to lose $5 million the first year, and $10 million the following year With Idaho experienc- ing budget difficulties. the state could not handle the increased financial burden, This pressured state lawmakers to propose bills that would raise Idaho's drinking age During the legis- lative session. legis- lators battled over drinking age bills. The first two proposed bills were defeated in the House State Affairs Commitee. In early Feburary, a new bill passed the House and was sent to the Senate However, after several attempts. the Senate failed to pass the bill before the end of the session. One reason cited for the bills’ failure was that it didn’t standar- dize Idaho's alcohol continued rinking contests such as the “chug-off held at the Elk’s Club during Greek Week could become a rarity when a 21-year-old drink- ing age makes a majority of UI students to young to legally drink.

The bill raising the drinking age to 21 died In committee In 1985, but a similar bill could surface in the near future. (Photo by D.

Many legislators said the drinking time should be changed from | a.m. to 2 a.m. to prevent late night bor- der crossing to taverns that stayed open late. Other legislators ar- gued the bill could be postponed until the next session for further discussion without penalty to the state. While Idaho legisla- tors battled, national lobbyists such as Mother Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) contin- ued to push for higher drinking ages in the 29 states affected by the new law. According to Anne Seymour, assistant to the president of MADD, Idaho doesn’t have a MADD chapter, but the organization planned to make its views heard in the state. “The blood border idea is the mover and shaker behind our push to raise the drink- ing age. IT am_ personally aware of your situation in Moscow and feel that border between Washington and Idaho is one of the worst bor- ders in the nation,” Seymour said. Her brother's best friend, a WSU student. was killed on the Moscow-Pull- man highway in an al- cohol-related accident in 1980 On campus, the move to raise the drinking age drew mix- ed reactions. A refer- endum placed on the fall ASUI election ballot revealed 1,008 stu- dents opposed a raise, while 857 supported the measure. Relating to the drink- ing age issue to Pro- hibition, Chris Berg said. ‘‘People stood up and said they didn't think it was right. and the government had to back down. “| think this is what we need to do with this drinking age bill. The best answer is to fight it hard,” Berg added With Idaho threaten- ed by the loss of high- way funds, UI students faced the reality that by 1986 the drinking age could be raised.

And one by one each was deemed unsuitab- le for the job by UI President Richard Gibb But while academi- cians were visiting the Idaho campus from schools throughout the United States, acting Academic Vice Presi- dent Thomas Bell held the door open wide but denied any interest in accepting the job on a permanent basis It had been rumored since May that Bell was interested in applying for the position, but the ex-College of Edu- cation dean refused to be considered. But just before Christ- mas break. Gibb an- nounced Bell had been interviewed for the posi- tion. And on December 21, 1984, Bell was ap- pointed to the academic vice president's post on a permanent basis. The doorman had stepped inside the UI lobby After eight months on the job, Bell said he was very familiar with the position, but intended to “pick up the leader- ship role’ the office demanded. He added his primary responsibilities were three fold: implementa- tion of the Ul’s long range plan, elevating the role of research and promoting faculty wel- fare. “The university does not compare favorably with its peer institu- tions,’ he said. One of his first goals, he said, was to “attract and re- tain well qualified students and eliminate intrusions into faculty time at the UI.” And as far as the three primary goals were con- cerned, Bell said he was optimistic about the university's future. “Students have had some involvement in the long range planning. and now is the time for student leadership to look at the long range plan.’ He added. he would like to see students take a a greater leadership role in determining the course the UI will take and have students work closer with Washington State University. Regarding research programs, Bell said the university was commit- ted to both furthering the university's research goals but also streng- thening its teaching ideals. “Dissemination is as important as gathering: we have a commitment to promote excellence in teaching and re- search.” The final area of con- cern, promoting faculty welfare, Bell said had been strengthened dur- ing his eight month in- terim period as vice president. “The UI is a leader in this state in faculty governance. | apprec- iate the strong support and cooperation | received from the facul- ty and students. | be- lieve in the faculty; the university has a strong commitment to faculty governance.”’ Yet as much as Bell wanted to implement his goals. he realized without state funding any future plans could be in danger He said if the UI does not receive a substan- tial appropriations in- crease, in the future the accreditation of the university could be in jeopardy And as long as he re- mained vice president. Bell said he planned to keep pushing for more funding for the UI. The doorman seemed to have learned his job well. Lewls Day (1) om Bell was ap- pointed academic vice president In December.

Entering the fall sem- ester in a tempest of acti- vity and accusations, the senate showed a drastic change from the previous semester's lull Under the leadership of President Tom LeClaire and Vice President John Edwards, the senate’s ma- jor activity during the fall semester involved the stu- dent newspaper, the Argonaut. The disturbance began when ASUI Attorney General Franco Fabiano was contacted by an anonymous source claim- ing a $4,700 payroll discrepancy had occurred in the Argonaut’s spring 1983 payroll The senate immediately called for an audit of the ASU] Publications Depart- ment because of the alleg- ed irregularities.

This in- crease marked the first fee raise in the past five years And then once again the Argonaut found itself at odds with the senate But this time. the senate dispute involved editor Lewis Day's budget for in- creased salaries for the staff. The senate deemed the raises unnecessary After much heated de- bate, the senate finally passed a $700,000 bud- get, but with significant cuts in the Argonaut budget. Freund then vetoed the bill because of the Argonaut cuts. “To be paying them any less than they are paid now, considering the overwhelming success they've had this year, is wrong,’ said Freund of the proposed budget Freund’s veto. however only delayed the in- evitable, as the senate finally passed a budget that included cuts from the original proposal Another trouble involv- ing the Argonaut occur- red when senator Chris Berg was charged with ac- ting in an unprofessional manner Berg was charged with tailing and verbally abus- ing Argonaut features editor Stephen Lyons.

And as he pointed out, every issue was either dedicated to some indivi- dual or goup who influen- ced forestry concerns. or to Ul graduates or faculty There was, however, no dedication in 1956 and 1958 and few between 1966 and 1978.

The basis for acceptance into the fraternity was a student's grades, his level of matruity, how well he got along with others and his interest in being ac- tively involved in APA ac- tivities. Freshmen were al- lowed to pledge if they achieved the proper level of maturity ‘The strict requirements existed to make sure that students entered APA to uphold the Alpha tradi- tion; that is scholarship. deeds and love for all mankind.” said Curtis Johnson, president of the local chapter. The national fraternity was founded December 4, 1906, WSU has had a chapter since 1975 and members from the Ul have been allowed to join since 1981. APA was the first pri- marily black fraternity of its kind and served to set the guidelines for other black fraternities, Aside from the entrance requirements, APA dif- fered from other frater- nities in several ways The pledge period lasted only six weeks and took place in the spring. Prospective UI pledges. usually numbering 25 to 30. filled out a form which eliminated over 50 per- cent based on grades alone.

APA is not exclusively a black fraternity - But according to Johnson, many people in this area could not understand the function of the fraternity or why white members would join a predominantly black organization.

The purpose of fighting was not to hurt. but to learn about medieval combat. Few injuries took place due to the impor- tance placed on safety proper training, and good equipment Upon being hit a fighter acted as if he or she had actually been injured in battle. A head blow automatically killed a per- son, The person hit deter- mined if the blow was of sufficient force to disable or kill him.

But before they had left. the freshmen had pulled some pranks of their own. Usually early on a Satur- day morning, when few people were up and a- bout, the pledges began their traditional task. Creeping around other- wise quiet houses, they carried out their assigned jobs with the utmost speed and efficiency. .No one would even have known they were there except for the occasional sounds of muffled voices or stif- led giggles. They were carrying out an age-old Greek tradition, and they were determined to be remembered by many The games pledge classes after them. Before they left on their pledge sneak, they had to leave their mark. They must make their absence known to the upperclass members Lisa Gibson said the purpose of a pledge sneak was to bring the pledge class together. And as they hid all the silverware in the house, took all the toilet paper. did away with the electric blanket controls and took the front doorbell apart. the freshmen developed a bond that would last the rest of their lives. The same was true for the upperclassmen too. In return, the members would let the rest of the Greek system know that their pledges were sneak- ing. They accomplished this by moving entire pledge sleeping porches to the front yard and by hanging cherished stuffed animals by the neck or underwear from surroun- Beta Theta Pi.

The pledges of Pi Kap- pa Alpha would not soon forget their return from McCall late one Sunday night, when they discov- ered their sheets in a huge frozen block of ice in the front yard.

We set off and were soon into a mountainous area west of Lewiston and noticed a few patches of snow on the mountain sides,”’ said Geoff Brown ‘We stopped at a small cafe and asked about the road conditions. The owners said they suspec- ted they were still cover- ed by snow. Still op- timistic we continued “Within a half hour we encountered the first snow. It increased so grad- ually that he figured there wouldn't be any problem getting through.

Af- ter we set off. we realized what had happened. “Because we had little food and no two-way radio, we had no choice but to continue. We had three four-wheel trucks which required all of us to push up the mountain side. Meanwhile it was still snowing. We figured it took us over five hours to go 40 miles in that snow The best part of the whole ordeal was the together- ness it provided.

In one room the beds were plac- ed under a group of desks on a raised platform This keeps the light out while one person is study- ing and another is sleep ing.” said Dave Harr- ington. “Besides, in the winter it is really warm People were known to spend as much as $400 decorating their rooms But Scott Bledsoe spent $1,000 Bledsoe. who stayed during the summer, had a lot of time to work on his room.

Eric Regner decorated his room to express his hobby — taxidermy. In his room he had a number of Harrington animals which he had mounted before coming to school The Greek women also did a fair amount of decorating, although with less freedom. The decor of the women’s rooms consisted of posters and pictures on walls. Because the women slept on por- ches, they didn’t orient their rooms toward sleep The most common way of decorating a room was to put up pictures of friends made at parties and dances Kelly Vincent, an Alpha Gamma Delta, had all available space filled with dance and party pictures. “Everybody likes pho- tos on their walls.

It’s a tough t was Friday at !0 I p.m. and the sorority house was dark. The bathrooms and bedrooms that only hours ago were filled with giggling. smiling girls were now empty. The inhabitants were Out on the town in search of romance and adven- ture at least most of them. A long corridor wound its way through the house eventually leading to a door where a single beam of light shone No sound came from behind the door until] sud denly the sound of a ring- ing telephone was heard “No, Mary isn’t in right now, may | take a mes- sage?” Alright. thank Good night.” Friday night phone du ty; it was an unpleasant but necessary chore in most Greek houses Underclass members of fraternities and sororities were expected to do phone and door duties as part of their pledge train- you ing program In one or two hour blocks, the person on du- ty was responsable for answering the door and the phone. They were then required to either hunt down the wanted member or take a mes- sage “| hate staying home on a Saturday night just to do my phone and door for a couple of hours and have no one call, “ said Terri Beebe If | tried to skip out, seven million people would call, all with life and death messages, and I'd get black marks up the ying-yang.”’ she said ‘Black marks’ were merely a form of keeping track of whether or not a pledge had done his or her duty if a pledge did not com- plete one’s assigned task a “black mark,” “work warning” or points were subtracted from his or her total point tally. Other houses fined peo- ple who missed chores or Pi Beta Phi. immediately assigned them to the Friday or Saturday night phone and door list. Other house jobs in- cluded: picking up the mail, shoveling the walks in winter, cleaning the liv- ing room, waking up members on the sleeping porch and scrubbing the bathroom Some houses had clean- ing services come in once a week to do the really tough jobs. Many houses. however, relied on house underclassmen to keep things tidy What was the purpose of all this? “It gives pledges an op- portunity to develop pride in their house, said Terri Slack. “They ap- preciate the house a lot more and they take pride in making it comfortable for their sisters.” And taking pride in the house was one area where all members could participate — even if it meant answering the phone on Friday nights FRONT ROW: Linda Kawaguchi, Connie Wessels.

But how did the people left behind feel about their sons or daughters at- tending the University of Idaho? For the most part, the response was posi- tive, but in all cases it was with a bit of regret and sadness Mr. and Mrs, Forde Johnson of Idaho Falls cited tradition as the reason their daughter Heather Weitfle picked the UI Heather, however. said the campus life was why she came to Moscow. Heather. a psychology major, pledged the Kappa Kappa Gamma house. She added getting to know the campus and meeting the people helped her to decide to come to Idaho “We're delighted she came, said Forde Johnson, UI Class of 1964 Another reason parents and students gave for at- tending the UI was its pro- ximity to other towns in the state. Lyn McKalich moved to the UI from Lewiston. We like the atmosphere and it's well behaved. It's a beautiful campus, her father said “We like the affiliation with the school. We like the president and we live close,” he added Another panhandle na- tive attending the UI was Neely Hall resident Stacia Crocker Stacia. a Sandpoint na- tive, said she had a hard time choosing the UI, but picked the Palouse school because of its fine liberal arts and law program One issue both parents and students agreed upon was the UI campus was one of the most scenic they had ever seen. The reasons given for attending the UI were varied, Some students enrolled because the school was close to home and others attended because their parents wanted them to do so. Others came because of tradition. But whatever the rea- son, students came to UI for one thing: to receive a quality education. And no matter how traumatic and tumultuous the first few days of moving in were. everyone benefited in the long run — even parents. ne of the most Important items any student brings to college is a television set. Although a TV can distract from one’s studies, it will nevertheless make one extremely popular with dormmates.

Little notes like these appeared inconsequential to a casual observer, but they were important to the intended receiver Messages from mom, a roommate or a friend could be found written, scribled or scrawled on memo boards attached to many dorm doors. Memo boards only ap- peared a few years ago, but became grew imense- ly popular. The boards proved so useful and ef- fective that one could be found on almost every woman's door. Men, too, followed suit and began hanging the note boards on their doors Hall hieroglyphics Memo boards provided visitors and friends with a place to leave a message and aided in contacting those hard-to-contact stu- dents. Similar to a tele- phone answering machine. but far less expensive. memo boards provided space for a short mes- sage While convenient for messages, memo boards were also an expression of the owner's personali- ty. Because they were one of the only things to set the hundreds of identical dorm doors apart, each student wanted his or her memo board to be a uni- quely individual expres- sion To accomodate this idividuality, memo boards could be found in every design imaginable Cartoon characters were among the favorite de- signs. Snoopy. Ziggy and Garfield adorned the boards with their faces and whimsical remarks. Also popular were boards with animals, grids and graphs, plants and brilliantly colored rain- bows and balloons. For students, the pur- chase of a message board was more than a routine selection.

In order to prevent “non- notes’ from appearing. pens and markers disap- peared into rooms at night Written upon memo boards were notices of salutations, dates and pranks. But no matter what the inscription, it Was apparent from their use memo boards were communicating the message. L) FRONT ROW; Gary Dose, Michael Eagle, Rob Stewart. Gregg King. Mike Schamens.

One problem fac- ing officers was the lack of student atten- dance at meetings, he Initial act for the RHA repre- sentative was to choose from among themselves, officers for the new year. Elected to the positions were Shelly Eyraud, Mark Scott, Scott MacKinnon and Alison Kartevold. etting things done, enforcing the rules and looking out for the welfare of students has long been the responsiblity of a few in the residence halls. In an attempt to remedy the situation the government make-up, for the first time in several years. changed for the dorms. The in dividual hall officers, resi- dent advisers (RA‘s). and new Resident Hall Association combined to provide a more efficient and effective ruling government network for the dorms Each of the 22 in- dividual halls continued with traditional officer elections. The election terms, specific duties and powers were listed in each hall's constitution The officers. or Ex ecutive Board, included the president. vice presi- dent, secretary, treasurer historian. social chairman and intramural chairman The Executive Board also included resident ad- visers. Hired by the university, these students oversaw the operation of the halls. Their primary responsibilities were to promote an educational atmosphere, offer advice and keep in touch with the students According to fim Bauer, coordinator of residence halls programs the role of the RA’s was very important They are the liaisons between the students and the staff and the ad- ministration of the university While the hall officers RA‘s and had taken care of hall problems and needs. there was no unified student organiza- tion that worked for the dorm community The Resident Hall Association {RHA) was created to fulfill this void ‘Independence Hall’ in the goverment stucture of the dorms ‘The Resident Hall Association is not set up to take away the in- dependence of the hall but to act as a central governing body. Its pur- pose is to form unity among the halls. and make residence hall students proud to be GDI's said Scott MacKinnon the first RHA president The hall presidents made up the body of the RHA. The organizers of RHA decided that this would give the members of a hall the choice in who represented them on the board. Once established the board selected a president, vice president. secretary, and treasurer With the hall presi- dent serving as a board member, each hall's vice president was given a position on the Judicial Council. The council conflicts that resolved couldn't be solved by a particular hall’s judicial council The organizers of the RHA didn't want the board just to be more governmental bureaucracy, instead they wanted it to unify the halls According to MacKin- non, the RHA would allow for a sharing of ideas for activities between the halls as well as promote enthusiasm “We want to generate pride in the residence halls and make people want to come back next year,” said MacKinnon Increased govern- ment wasn't usually something students wanted, but the increased involvement and support of the new government structure of the dorms proved that it was need- ed and wanted Hays Hall.

The main idea was to have a project bet- ween the two halls which would involve everyone and benefit a cause Most people who received tuck-ins got them by surprise after having been signed up by a roommate or friend. The most popular was the Adventure Package which included a tuck-in, milk and cookies, a bed- time story. and a good- night kiss. Singular items such as milk and cookies or just a tuck-in. were also available Four to eight people. dressed in robes and pa- jamas and bringing stuff- ed animals. went to a room to tuck someone in, Nearly all the members of both halls participated in Night Wishes. Night Wishes netted about $150. It created a closer relationship bet- ween the two halls and got students involved not only with each other but in an activity to help the community The project hopefully will serve as incentive for other Big Brother and Lit- tle Sister groups to do more things together. It will be repeated in the future along with others to add variety to campus life. Julie Lees © ne good kiss deserves an- other.

During one weekend in February, Moscow came alive with Mardi Gras characters. (Photo by D. Gilbertson) Community It was a Strange relationship. Moscow couldn't live without the university and the universi- ty couldn't live without Moscow. And although both the UI and Moscow depended on each oth- er for survival, the partnership was marked by mountain highs, valley lows and everything in between. The Jazz Festival, Borah Sym- posium, Mardi Gras and the Renaissance Fair brought town and gown together for sharing, contemplating and celebrating. However, life wasn’t always sharing and celebrating. Busi- nesses lost thousands of dollars to student shoplifters and check bouncers. And students com- plained merchants and _ land- lords ripped them off. “Bizarre” and “unusual” were the chief adjec- tives at Mardi Gras.

February 23, the festivities began at 7 a.m. and continued well into the dark hours, Breakfasts and brunches. such as the Main Street Deli Champagne brunch held downtown, kicked off the celebra- tion with one of the major highlights of the day. the Grand Parade. following After 40 minutes of waiting in the rain a small, remote controlled truck ushered in the self propelled floats. David Giese’s Creative Process and Design classes were the focus of the parade with their 23 white milk-carton paper floats. In groups of four, the students were given two weeks to design a theme and work with people chosen by Giese “The big thing about this project is learning how to deal with people and establishing a hierarchy of cooperation,’ said Paul Exline, a student. The seemingly bland floats. void of any color were white to signify the last tribute to winter before spring arrived and it was cheaper. “White is beautiful,’ said Giese. “When you score and fold the paper it gives it definition because of the shadow patterns.” Giese’s floats were not the only features in the parade, however. There was everything from the traditional Gir] Scouts in their green, the local NOW chapter displaying names of historically famous women in Moscow to groups that were a little on the “different” side The Mother Goose Stroller Corps made their debut with synchronized strolling and fanatic versions of nursery rhymes while the UI Brief Case Corps marched in 3 piece suits and sharkfins A parade isn't complete without a band and the One More Time Kazoo band fulfilled this purpose. Adorned in cardboard boxes looking like television sets and carrying T.V. guides, the ensem- ble paraded with the precision of a high school band at a football game half time. That evening the Beux Arts Ball, the major fundraiser for the UI gallery, festivities began. Costumed in black and white, the party-goers were shuttled bet- ween Rathskellers where Snake River Six. The Fabulous Kingpins, and Thin- man played to the Moscow Hotel where Jazz Mania and Johnny Adult performed. Coordinator Charlotte Buchannan said Moscow's colors for the Mardi Gras were chosen following 18th century French Mardi Gras customs of having the population dress in black and white, therefore making everyone who attend- ed the Mardi Gras on an equal social status. “| think it's cool when people dress up but at an all community celebration some of the costumes were just a little to far out. | like to dress up when | go out but there is a limit,” said Lisa Pullen Eventually the black and white turned to the grey of a cloudy dawn and revelers wandered home, the party was over Sue Perry () This white knight was one of the many floats specifically designed David Giese'’s students for Mardi drizzle-filled May weekend did A not dampen the spirits of hun- dreds of Palouse residents who flocked to Moscow's 12th Annual Renaissance Fair. Held in East City Park, the fair boasted attractions as diverse as the people who attended the three day event, “It rained a little.” said Fair Coor- dinator Jed Davis. “We always get a mix of weather. Sometimes it snows. Sometimes it rains.” But that didn’t stop a lot of people from having a good time looking at some interesting crafts, he added. According to Davis, hundreds of area residents visited the Renaissance Fair. Attractions at the event included over 110 arts and crafts exhibits as well as 20 concession booths. Other Renaissance Fair entertainment included maypole dancers, singers, ac- tors and musicians. Kirk McMichael of the Border Highlanders played the bagpipes. Members of the Society for Creative Anachronism demonstrated mock duels. A rock band, the Fabulous Kingpins, also performed at the fair. giv- Applying a hint of clown white to the face of |.P.

A fire eater jugglers and a trained duck act were also part of the weekend's festivities Many of the performances took place on East City Park's main stage. Built earlier this year with local donations of time and materials, the stage represents community spirit, Davis said. Foremost, the fair is a social event. added Moscow resident Jim Prall. “New people are moving to Moscow because of its reputation for community spirit, and even junior high and high school students are eager to participate.” A downtown mural that promoted the fair brought in a new crowd of people who had never attended it before, Prall said. “It wasn’t just unive rsity students this year, he said. The whole community including Moscow's senior citizens, got involved.” According to Prall, the fair enticed people from as far away as Boise and Portland to return to Moscow to reunite with friends. Of the 110 arts and crafts exhibits, nearly two-thirds of them were from out of town. Many of the participating artists toured the Northwest selling their works at shows and fairs throughout Idaho, Mon- tana, Washington and Oregon Sale items included baskets, stained glass. pottery, jewelry. weavings and clothing. Also sold were pictures. pain- tings and waterfoul sculptures Combined local and regional support help ed fair participants raise thousands of dollars. “Private artists and craftsmen were very successful with sales,’’ Prall said, “That's because for most of the artists. the Moscow fair is their first show of the season, so a really good selection of the things they made over the winter is still available.”’ Non-profit organizations raised from $5,000 to $10,000 on concessions alone, Davis estimated. In the end. organizers said that the Renaissance Fair proved to be a good time for just about everyone “It's been a good fair, he said. “Each year we keep getting a little bit bigger and a little bit better.” Paul AlLee [) Repairing a rip in the earthball, Jim Prall uses a needle and thread to patch the giant cloth orb.

It strikes me funny a person who started the year as “head peon’’ should finish the year as the editor of this book. But it hap- pened. and to me. It is now 2 a.m., Friday, June 14. In little over a month the entire book has been put together. However, this would never have occured had it not been for the hard work and devotion of a few: John Pool. publications director, who was there with us through the late nights and the budgeting problems. His assistance was always greatly appreciated. Leslie Alley and Val Pishl, our two typesetters. Leslie finally conquered all the combinations of drop-caps and line lengths and then at the beginning of summer, left us for another job. At that point we gained a new addition to the third floor. Val. Out of necessity, she learned all the special typesetting required for this book in only hours. Col. Charles Savedge. a true Southern gentleman and yearbook expert extaor- dinare. His visit in November gave the staff a bonanza of ideas. His tour of the Big Ap- ple during spring break. rushed us from Times Square to Wall Street in a matter of hours. It was also his badgering which per- suaded me to apply for the editorship. Frank Myers, Sherry Breneman and al! of the other professionals at the Delmar Printing Company. Frank did his best to give as much of himself and the Delmar Co. as possible. Kathy “Wheels” Mcinturff and Mar- cy Frith, publication secretaries who tied up all the lose ends so this book could be completed. And to those two people who stood with me for over a month. Though hundreds of captions, pictures and chocolate-chip cookies we put this book together. Gary Lundgren, former Gem and Argonaut editor. Someone once said what Gary doesn't know about yearbooks and eg isn't worth knowing. And Frank Hill. the sportsman of the century. Another former Argonaut editor, he started out as the sports editor and ended up helping complete the whole book. Gary and Frank's loyalty to the Gem and ASUI is beyond reproach. They are the best friends and workers an editor could ever have. All I can say is THANK YOU to you all.

A182 Closing — As the school year faded away, the rushed pace of college life turned into a ‘rat race”’ as students scrambled to complete term papers, assignments and projects before the end of the year. Although the snowy weather nipped spring fever, the prospect of gradua- tion and summer vacation turned spring semester into a season of mountain highs. A sense of patriotism emerged as a 21l-gun salute welcomed the newly rebuilt soldier statue to the Ad Lawn during Silver and Gold Day. Bud Washburn, a Lewiston artist who restored the patriot, and represen- tatives from all branches of the military attended the dedication ceremony. In addition to Silver and Gold Day and Parents Weekend, the year con- cluded with the ultimate mountain high as 2,300 seniors received their diplomas during graduation ceremon- ies in the Kibbie Dome. Although the school year was win- : ding down, the valley lows continued. 7} contemplating graduation. Tensions mounted on Vandal Hill as students attempted to study for finals while packing for the trip home and AS a mediocre sports year drew to a close, Coach Jim Sevall and the women’s tennis team experienced the lows after a scoring dispute at the con- ference Championships dropped the Vandals from second to seventh place. As a result, Sevall resigned as the Vandal tennis coach. The Athletic Department's frustra- tions continued when the State Board of Education proposed a 10 percent budget cut and refused to grant a Stu- dent fee increase to cover athletics. The sports cuts left the department swimming in a $250,000 sea of red ink. But despite the valley lows, the year |} wound down. SAVAGE TAN. April was made for outdoor activities.

For most of the time students spend on the Idaho campus, the Ar- boretum’s trees are covered with snow and ice. But in the spring, the ice melts, the sun comes out and the tree's leaves burst forth in a variety of shapes and colors. (Photo by P. Lauro) Another year was Over. As students packed their belongings into boxes and headed their overload- ed cars out of Moscow, only the mem- ories of the recently completed school year remained. Although the year was marked by a rollercoaster of extremes, mountain highs and valley lows only dotted the year. Sandwiched between the controver- sies and triumphs, the everyday events will be remembered by most students. Pulling an ‘‘all-nighter’’ to cram fora major test, blowing off an evening at “two-fers” night at Morts and acciden- tially sleeping through an 8:30 a.m. class contributed to the ‘“‘litthe memor- ies’’ most college students will cherish forever. It was the triumphs, tragedies and ‘litthe memories” that converted an or- dinary year into a spectrum of moun- tain highs, valley lows and everything in between. HERKE WE HAVE IDAHO. No matter how many years slip away, persons attending the UI will remember their college days. And although after awhile the bad memories will slowly die out, the good times will last forever.
