Worcester State University - Oak Leaf Yearbook (Worcester, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 208 of the 1980 volume:

M Kvp sr nee upon a time, there lived a yearbook that had no name. Oh yes, in its early years the founders called it The Oak , and often it was jeered at for having such a pulpy name. Soon it could no longer handle the ridicule brought upon by its title, and the book went anonymous, using the college initials and the date as its identification. This action eased the embarrassment, but still the book was not happy, as every year the I.D. number changed and the paper work was incredible. By and by, a staff came about that was very much into identities, and they grew worried over the faltering state of the yearbook. It was decided that a contest would be held, and all the yearbook ' s subjects could enter their suggestions for its name. The author of the winning name would be duly honored, and a prize would be bestowed upon him. The staff carefully went over all the entries and was dishearteded to find such a schmaltzy listing of titles as Reflections , Memories , Horizons , Visions , and the sarcastic ones like 80-10-10 ; it all was reminiscent of high school. They worked late into the night going over title after title, shelving this one, filing that one, until they came to an entry that had them stumped entirely — Raggensdraddle. It had a nice ring to it, but what did it mean? They summoned the author and questioned him: What meaning lies behind such a word? , and he answered: I dunno. What?! they asked again. He replied, I dunno, it sounded good. I like to make up words. It can mean whatever you want it to. And with that, he left. The staff was silent while each one reflected over what had just transpired, and suddenly they shouted to- gether Eureka! A title that no other book will have, a word of our own, with a meaning unique to each individual ' s interpretation! What a fine idea! And thus came about the first edition of The Raggensdraddle, a book with a thousand per- sonalities just waiting to be discovered.

Parker Chief of Police O. Clayton Johnson: Not your average vice-president By Dave Padavano When you think of a vice president of a college, you might think of an old timer sitting behind an eight foot walnut desk with a secretary in the outer office who has instructions not to let anyone pass except the VP’s stock broker. You’ll be glad to know that no such vice president exists at Worcester State College. As a matter of fact, Dr. O. Clayton Johnson, vice presi- dent for student services here, is just the opposite of his stereotypical counterpart mentioned above. However, be- fore we get into the material that shows us a little about what makes Dr. Johnson tick, a few words about his background (soft music, please). Dr. Johnson was a history and social science m ajor at Southern University where he earned his bachelor’s de- gree. He received his master’s in continuing higher educa- tional administration from Rutgers University and he was awarded his doctorate in historical foundations from Rut- gers. Dr. Johnson has also completed studies at Cornell and Northeastern Universities. Before coming to Worcester State, Dr. Johnson served as vice president for student and community services at the State University of New York at Bimghamton (Haiper Col- lege). The administrative internship program for Ph.D. candidates was coordinated by Dr. Johnson. He was also assistant to the president for special inter-institutional re- lations and planning. Dr. Johnson’s position before his appointment at Wor- cester State was at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside where he was assistant chancellor for educational ser- ices. His responsibilities included the library-learning center, computer center, student affairs, athletics, and de- velopmental educational services. At WSC, Dr. Johnson is in charge of institutional re- search, student developmental services, residential life, and athletics. On top of his many campus activities, Dr. Johnson also serves as a trustee for the American School of Management and is a charter life member of the American Association of Higher Education. Though Dr. Johnson is a very busy person, he is never so busy that he doesn’t have time for students. It is not uncommon to see him in the hallway calling people by name as lie says hello. And whether it is a social fuention sponsored by The Student Voice or the Lancer Society, chances are Dr. Johnson can be spotted in the crowd en- joying the evening with everyone else. As you might have expected, there is more to Dr. Johnson than several long and fancy titles. When asked what made the Worcester State students different from those he was associated with at Harper College, he re- plied, “I don’t think that students here are elitest students. The students here are looking forward to joining the great American middle class. They are looking to contribute in middle management and as political leaders plus other important positions . . . but I don’t think there is an over- whelming drive to be doctors or lawyers.” “I can empathize with the students here more than I could with the students at Harper College who drove up to the school in their Mercedes’ and got out with their alligator suitcases. I think the thing about the students here is that I found them to be warm and friendly, which leads me to conclude that they are willing to learn and they’re struggl- ing with the learning process to get the right kind of cre- dentials for self improvement. I don’t think our students have all the answers either. At Haiper the freshman class had all the answers; I don’t know why they even went to classes — probably just to get certified. I don’t think our students come in with that attitude. I think our students come knowing that they want to learn and they do, I think, take advantage of this institution. The students here use the institution. They squeeze it to get the best out of it. That is what makes this an interesting place to be. The students really work at making it an interesting place.” Dr. Johnson also has some thoughts on the city of Wor- cester. “Worcester is going through a time of change and I think it is coming back from a downward trend. Coming back is going to have an awful lot to do with the new technology that is emerging in our society. By the year 2000, we could very well become a technically oriented center, given the higher education instutions that are in Worcester. The fu- ture mission of this college will come from the changes which will inevidably take place in Worcester.” It is clear that Dr. Johnson cares about the students at Worcester State. And having a vice president who cares in the way Dr. Johnson does is a luxury that few colleges can boast of. 36 37 William Byers Media Robert Casavant Computer Science Harold Chapman Physics Natural Sciences Carol Chauvin Biology Dr. Anna Cohen Communication Disorders Alan Cooper Chemistry 38 Wm • ■ «■ irai iai sspmiih in i ; ii urnmi 39 Marcia Southwell Dean Communication Disorders Janet Demars Physical Education Donna Devlin Physical Education 41 Mary Dolphin Art Paul Edmunds English Leonard Farrey Secondary Education Arthur Ferguson Chemistry Margaret Fogarty Communication Disorders Pennie Galtman Communication Disorders 43 Charles J.

McGRAW How does a WSC professor view today’s crop of students? — especially the class of 1980 — you ask. Well, when one spends twenty years at a college as student and later as professor he may rightly claim — if not insight — then at least some familarity with the students of that college and from both sides of the desk. The answer to the question of course, is that while superficial aspects like clothing, slang, and even manners have changed, more fundamental things remain essentially the same. In 1960s it was sport coats for the men and skirts for the women; jeans were rare, halter tops in the classroom were un- heard of. In retrospect, some aspects of WSC in 1960 seem positively quaint but those who subscribe to the cyclical theory of history (it tends to repeat itself over time) have noted with some amusement the slow re- appearance on the campus of really dressy styles including swishy skirts and spike heels. Academically it is true that some profes- sors bemoan the continually falling SAT scores and what seem to be less scholarly attitudes on the part of students as com- pared to ‘‘the old days,” yet on the whole, WSC classrooms still contain the traditional mix of some bright, stimulating students, a lot of average decent ones, and the usual percentage of poor performers who seem as confused in 1980 as they were in 1960. One clearly observable change though, is in the number of older students now visible at WSC. Two decades ago, most WSC stu- dents tended to be white, between eighteen and twenty-two, from Worcester or its envi- rons, and attending full time. Now, quite the reverse is true; many are minorities, in their thirties or even forties, married or divorced and worried about baby-sitters or day care centers. They come from all over the United States and many from abroad for that matter, and most all are employed — a factor that clearly shapes the hours available for study. The result is a much more diverse group than before. If it poses greater challenges for teachers, it also presents opportunities for greater rewards. That the character of stu- dents has suffered no serious erosion over the years can be attested by one professor who will not soon forget the student last year who responded to the professor’s classroom reminder to see him in case of errors in mark- ing a test. The young woman pointed out that the professor had added up her test score incorrectly — it was too high. When re- minded that her correct grade would drop from a B to a C, she gulped and said, ‘‘OK”. No one can tell this professor that WSC stu- dents in 1980 have undergone any decline in honor and integrity from some golden age in the past so long as students like that are still to be found here. ■UK ■ ia JBMi f V 1 ' I H - 1 1 • I Hfe. | 0 wjjr i ft jSH 1 : II 1 980 CLASS OFFICERS Catherine I.

The Student Voice, however, is often responsible for them. Voice editor Mike D’Onofrio has put together stories and memories of his four years with the paper to author and produce this special por- tion of the yearbook. This section is a journalistic!?) account of the of 1980’s four year hitch at WSC. I “NO, THEY DIDN’T FILM We’ve never been on national tele- vision. We’ve never staged a giant protest on campus. In fact, we’ve never even had a sniper on the roof of the student union. We have managed to have some fun in spite of these set- backs, however. Chandler Village is ‘fun headquar- ters’ at Worcester State College. If you don’t believe me, ask Jack Rowland of Zenith Drive. Based on his own logic, Rowland is receiving 700 decibles of noise at his house, which, if this is the case, should be in smithereens. But what about Chandler Village? Paul Joseph runs a six million dollar building intended for recreational purposes, but we all know where the real recreation is. CV not only pro- vides recreation, but it also inspires ingenuity. For example, residents who can’t seem to conduct all of their necessary business there during the 15 minutes a day that the post office is open are almost constantly finding new ways to gain access to the “closed” PO. And what about sharp-shooting? Okay, let’s see some hands; how many of you can hit the center dumpster from the roof of ‘16’? These are just two of the recreational ac- tivities that they don’t even mention in the brochures, just as some of the Chandler Village clubs and organiza- tions are ignored. They, of course, are too numerous to mention here, but the Future Aqualungs of America meet every Saturday and Sunday at dawn in the gutters of CV. But let’s not limit our observation to Chandler Village only. Getting into WSC is an adventure in itself. The admissions office thoroughly screens all applicants. Questions such as “How do you intend to pay your tu- ition?”, and “Where are you going to get the money?” keep out the unde- sirables. “Money,” you say? Those who don’t have it usually get it through the financial aid office. We won’t say that checks are occasionally late, but those who do finally receive them often use them to supplement their retirement benefits. Jumping around as we are, how about a mention of the academics!?) at the college? The Learning Resources Center is a multi-media facility intended to lure students into study thru the use of fancy gadgets. Needless to say, the place is pretty dull. In fact, the most excitement the LRC has ever seen oc- curred when a former Student Voice editor drove a Vega up the main steps and around the perimeter of the building while being pursued by two campus police officers, who were on foot. We hear that from there he was sea bound. Hey, let’s not forget about the facul- ty. It used to be that when somebody continually said things that you couldn’t understand you’d call him stupid. In college, however, you have to call him “professor.” The students? Do they really all drive Volkswagens and drink beer and attend orgies? Has McGraw been right all along? Not quite. Some drive VW’s. Some drink beer. (All attend orgies, though.) Sure, beer is the most popu- lar beverage. It’s lively, has its own single serving container, and some- times you can dig up that half six pack that you didn’t finish last Spree Day while rummaging through your trunk. Besides, if you’re a man, you probably drink it because your girlfriend (who hates the stuff) only drinks pina coladas or white Rus- sians and, by the time you get done paying for those, all you can afford is beer. If you’re lucky, she likes wine, in which case you can take her to Leitrim’s on Tuesdays. If you’re incredibly lucky, she likes beer too, in which case she must be an angel. ‘Who drinks what’ is surprisingly enough, di- rectly related to academic interests. For example, the his- tory major drinks beer be- cause it, like history, is not soon forgotten. The art major, obviously, drinks wine (no need to go any further there). The English major drinks Scotch because all the writers on Lou Grant do. The chemistry major doesn’t drink anything because he knows what’s in it. The media ANIMAL HOUSE HERE” The most excitement LRC has major will drink anything, and he’ll drink it until Seiffer sounds like he’s speaking English. Anyway, each major has its drink. The WSC student’s music preference is interesting as well. EVERY stereo in Chandler Village has its volume control in- creased to ‘10’ whenever the man on the radio plays Green Grass and High Tides Forever. Stairway to Heaven used to get the same re- sults, but that’s been replaced by Southern Man. Disco is not played in CV. Period. We were going to devote a section of this piece to fashion, but no one at Worcester State has ever heard of it. Now we come to the subject that every col- lege student is an expert on. If romance could be trans- lated into dollars and cents, Worcester State College could sec- ede from the union and lend money to the United States. College sponsored parties (re- member when they used to be called “beer blasts”?) seem to be the thing for making the most contacts. After that come dorm parties, the pool room, and the dining hall. After that comes history class, back row. The method that never fails, however, is the “Student Organization Wing Shuffle.” Lines such as “Hey little girl, wanna be a senator?” are not un- common. The promise of next year’s chairmanship beats the hell out of “Haven’t I seen you somewhere be- fore?”. Anyway, once the connection is made, dating usually follows. Dating in Chandler Village consists of: This Friday he goes to her house and next Friday she goes to his house. On pay- days and holidays, the date is an evening at Leitrim Pub. (PS: Toga parties work well, too.) In tying this all together, we sud- denly remember that all of these antics take place in Worcester, Mas- sachusetts, a city with two (but really one) newspaper(s) and seven other colleges. In Worcester, the mayor is elected by the city council, which is appointed by the mayor, or some- thing like that (this is comedy; it’s okay to lie). Worcester is one hour from Boston and two hours from Cape Cod (two pluses). In reliving all of the crazy things that go on around here, we remind ourselves that it’s all over for us se- niors and the time has come to re- place girl or (boy) chasing, partying, prank-pulling, learning, and laugh- ing with job hunting, financing, rut settling, and mellowing into serious- ness. Remember these times, fans, ’cuz this is goodbye. Hey, maybe they did film Animal House here, after all . . . By Mike D’Onofrio ever seen — former Student Voice editor drives a Vega around its perimeter. CAMPUS NEWS CAMPUS NEWS A group of residents from the neighbor- hood west of Chandler Village made its loudest complaints to the college this year than anytime since the residence halls were built. Charges of “the worst year ever” and sound being amplified “tenfold” before it reaches the neighborhood highlighted a series of meetings held by area residents and Chandler Village Government and at- tended by college officials and state local politicians. Covering this issue were the Student Voice and Worcester Telegram. Reprinted here is a report from the Telegram. College neighbors air grievences at meeting By MIKE D ONORFIO Telegram Correspondent About 40 people, includ- ing neighborhood resi- dents, Worcester State Col- lege officials, state and local elected officials, at- tended a meeting last night at May Street School to dis- cuss residents’ complaints of noise, traffic and litter they say emanate from Chandler Village, the col- lege’s dormitory complex. John Rowland, May Street School assistant principal and a resident of Zenith Drive, the street nearest Chandler Village, said construction of the complex has created a “Greek amphitheater effect, where sound from Chan- dler Village is amplified tenfold.” He said a tape recording he made from his house sounded as if it had been made inside the complex. Rowland also told resi- dents and officials that stu- dents’ use of alcohol is a major contributor to the noise problem. He quoted a story in the college news- paper, The Student Voice, that told of a proposal to convert the Chandler Vil- lage post office into an Irish pub, where students could bring their own alcoholic beverages and drink them there. Residents Oppose Pub “This is the clincher,’’ said Rowland, “They wanted a beer and wine license for a pub in their student union and we (area resi dents) were against it. Now they want to bring their beer and wine into our backyards.” Four WSC students who tried to attend the meeting were asked by area resi- dents to leave before the meeting started. They complied with the request. Two of the students, Michael P. Harvey, presi- dent of the student gov- ernment association, and Thomas Moore, chairman of the Chandler Village Gov- ernment, were there to rep- resent the student body. But residents said they had “valid reasons’’ for not wanting them at the meet- ing. One reason given was concern that residents would hesitate to voice complaints for fear of re- prisal by students. Joseph J. Orze, president of Worcester State College, said the college recently purchased a sound meter to be used by campus police to measure the noise level from the village. He said a reading of 70 or more de- cibels of noise from a build- ing will constitute a viola- tion under the school’s new policy against noise. He also said that after the third offense, persons responsi- ble would be disciplined. Disciplinary measures were not specified. O. Clayton Johnson, vice president in charge of stu- dent services, said the pol- icy was written by the Chandler Village Govern- ment, a student governing body within the complex. “I think we’ve done fairly well so far.” Johnson said of the policy. Johnson denied that an Irish pub is being planned, but he did say it would be better to “provide a place for students to socialize in- stead of outside.” Representing the college at the meeting were Orze, Johnson, Paul Joseph, di- rector of the campus center; Joseph Minahan, director of planning and development; James Al- breque, associate director of student services; and Ronald Parker, chief of campus police. Noise was not the only complaint of the neighbor- hood residents. Traffic and CAMPUS NEWS CAMPUS NEWS Plans made to renovate administration building parking on area streets were also of concern. Cars parked on the street are the biggest problem,” said Peg Foote of 93 Chicopee St. She said cars of parents of children enrolled in the college-run child center on Chicopee Street often block her driveway. She said she has had ‘‘good response” from campus police, who have the cars removed and parked in other areas. Also at the meeting were state Sen. Gerald D’Amico; Janet Slovin, member of the Board of Trustees of the State College System; Thomas White, state repre- sentative; and city coun- cilors John Anderson and Jordan Levy. Tighter Rent Agreements Anderson suggested col- lege officials make stricter rental agreements in the student residency con- tracts. ‘‘If the conditions are not adhered to, the college would have the right to terminate the contract,” he said. Levy agreed with Ander- son, and said he does not see anything wrong with limiting the time that stu- dents can ‘‘blast their stereos.” He said he expects the students to obey state laws concerning alcoholic beverages and noise pollu- tion. ‘‘If all of these things were being adhered to now, we wouldn’t need this meeting.” School officials said they would try to establish a this year by Gov. Edward J. King to be used by Worces- ter State College for the preparation of plans to re- novate the administration building. According to the exact wording of the bill, which was signed by the governor just four hours before the legislative session dead- line, these renovations would include ‘‘removal and installation of parti- tions, upgrading of the me- chanical system, and exter- ior repairs.” The two main problems in the building which will joint committee to investi- gate the problems cited by residents. The committee, they said, would include neighborhood residents, students and school offi- cials. ‘‘Students aren’t going home and watching the Vietnam War on television like they did when I was in school. Instead they are watching ‘Animal House’ . . . and its regrettable,” D’Amico said. $100,000 in state capital outlay funds was approved By WAYNE WOLLERMAN Student Voice be corrected by the renova- tions are conserving energy and giving access to the handicapped. According to Joseph Minahan, director of planning and development, the plans for work will in- clude updating the heating and ventilation systems to make the building more energy efficient, to provide access for the handicapped (possibly including an elevator), and general nec- essary repairs. The next step is for the State Bureau of Building Construction to advertise for and decide upon an ar- chitect with expertise in these areas. Minahan will work with him to develop these plans for use by a contractor. After the plans are finalized, the College can then make another capital outlay budget request to hire a contractor who will carry out these details. Minahan has requested $1 million for this project from the state for the next fiscal year, and is optimistic about its passage since it is a top priority within the state college system. If this process can be properly executed, Mina- han thinks that the gym building will be the next focus for renovation plans. The last major capital out- lay project by the college was the construction of the student union. According to Minahan, that building is still owned by the state. It will be ‘‘turned over” to the college as soon as some construction defects can be worked out. Also included next year will be a request for federal monies to put automatic heating controls in all buildings, and also a re- quest for funds to study the feasibility of adapting the student union’s mechanical system to solar energy. SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS SPORT 1979 football team: highly tuned machine by DAVE PADAVANO Student Voice The 1979 edition of the Lancer football squad turned out to be a highly competitive and highly tuned machine. Though coach Jim Girouard had several freshmen in key po- sitions on both the defen- sive and offensive line, they matured quickly and the lines of scrimmage was one of the several strong points that led to the domi- nation of several opponents throughout the season. The Lancers finished with an impressive 7-3 record. They finished 5-3 in the New England Col- legiate Football Conference which was good enough for a third place spot. As can be seen from the upcoming thumbnail sketch, Worces- ter State made a more than adequate showing against some very talented compet- ition. Games in Review Fitchburg State — I can’t think of a better place to start than at the beginning. According to Coach Girouard, Fitchburg was one of the better clubs the Lancers faced all season. They took an inexperi- enced but talented group of freshmen, and turned them loose on an experienced Fitchburg squad. The re- sults, a powerful 13-12 de- cision that set the tone for the rest of the season. Roger Williams-Roger Williams dressed only twenty-five players that af- ternoon. And by the way they played good enough to lose 34-0, they probably wished they didn’t dress at all. The score could easily have been 50-0 if the Lan- cers hadn’t cleared their bench mid-way through the second quarter. There is no truth to the rumor that Roger Williams tried to change his name to John Doe after the game. St. Michael’s — This game was played in upstate Vermont where the most exciting activity is watch- ing visiting football teams kick the stuffing out of the home folks. And people complain about Worcester. Another game that the de- fense controlled. Again, the score could have easily been 50-0 instead of 27-6. Western New England — This game was played on a field that could have pas- sed for a sponge (as were a couple of other games). The Lancer defense came through with another gol- den performance while the offense used considerable restraint to keep the score from going any higher than the 20-0 final. Mud Bowl Stonehill — Otherwise known as the “Mud Bowl.” Stonehill brought an espe- cially tough defense into Worcester that afternoon and in the end the defense did come through; how- played them even in the second half, the offense was never able to push the ball across the goal line. Final 12-0. Hartford — Everything went perfect on that Home- coming afternoon. It was a perfect football day weather-wise, and every- body was ready for a good game. Well that’s exactly what they didn’t get. The Lancers were up after the ever, there was also a pretty tough defense on the other side of the line. Final 12-6 Worcester. Record to date 5-0. Bently — All dreams of an undefeated season evaporated on that dark, raw Saturday afternoon. The loss of some key defen- sive personnel by injuries, namely Wayne Chapman and Tom Burke, gave Be- ntly a couple of early scores. Though the Lancers Bently game and poor Hartford just got in the way. Final — 40-15. Dan Civitarese was named of- fensive player of the game while Mike Thomas was named the defensive standout.

When the sky fell When we seniors re- turned to WSC for our ju- nior year we found certain areas of the student union closed to us. It wasn’t be- cause we were under-aged or even because some out- side interest reserved the first floor. Why, then? Very simply, the roof was falling in. Well, okay, not really the roof. Some faulty panes of glass dropped out of the sky-light at their lei- sure. It may have been very dangerous, but we didn’t think so when we filed this report back in September, 1978 . . . As most of you know by now, glass has been falling from the skylight of the student union. The glass falls with such a force that it breaks immediately upon hitting the floor. No one knows exactly why it’s fall- ing, but there has been some speculation. Rumor has it that: Paul Joseph has been seen wearing golf shoes and tap dancing on the roof of the Student union. A campus police officer boasted that he could shoot a hole in the floor while blindfolded, but upon at- tempting to do so missed and shot a hole in the ceil- ing. New dean of students Ina Mason unfamiliar with the campus, was tricked into thinking that the quick- est way to her office was through the roof. ‘President Orze took a flying lesson. This is, of course, only rumor, but we did try to come up with some facts. We asked Bill Jarvi about the glass. “It’s one big pain, get it? Pain? You know like win- dow pane? Aw, forget it.” While Jarvi did entertain us with his hilarious sense of humor, we still needed some questions answered. We found that, as usual, Chief Roger Gordon was on the case. Gordon tells us that he almost made an ar- rest one night when he caught Ella Fitzgerald snooping around with a tape recorder. “We thought she was out to shatter some glass with that noisy voice of hers.” said Gordon. Charges were dropped when it was dis- covered that her alleged tape recorder was loaded with Radio Shack record- ing tape and not Memorex, as in the foolish commer- cial. Believing that falling glass might conceivably come under the jurisdiction of buildings and grounds, we spoke to Paul Regan. “I don’t know too much about it,” said Regan “The man you want to talk to is Janatar Byl.” Unfortu- nately, we could not get an appointment with Byl. While trying to get an over-all picture of the prob- lem, we decided to research the history of the falling glass. The most recent episode came late in Au- gust when a pane of glass fell onto the information desk area where several of the Student union’s sum- mer employees were gathered. Lancer Society chairman Keith “Basic Buck’’ Litchfield, who heroically threw himself out of the way of the falling glass to safety, said there I was “nothing spectacular” about his action and that he “would probably do it again” if given the same situation. Litchfield denies reports that prior to the glass falling he made the statement “I promise great programming on campus this, or may I be struck by a bolt from the blue.” Former WSC student Paul Sisson was hit by some of the falling parti- cles. Sources inform us that, while the incident was indeed frightening, Sisson does not live in fear of the student union an plans to make many more visits there. This is the information we have so far. Some of it is fact, some speculation. But what does the future hold? One report has it that the college has retained the legal services of Dr. Robert Spector in an attempt to file- suit against the individual panes of glass. The suit charges with negligence for arbitrarily falling without warning. Informants tell us that the glass is interested in settling out of court. Finally, what it comes down to is simply that we’ll have to wait and see what happens. Meanwhile, cer- tain areas of the Student union are closed to most people for fear of injury, but hard headed persons are safe from falling parti- cles, so expect to see lots of faculty members roaming freely about the building. HOOZ HOO HOOZ HOO HOOZ E HOOZ HOO at WSC by Mike D’Onofrio Like any college, Worcester State College has its share of what use to be called ‘big men on campus’. With the tragic advent of women’s rights, however, this term of endearment has been slightly altered to ‘big persons on campus’. Any HOOZ HOO listing for WSC would be dominated by student activities organization types but not excluding athletes and just plain col- orful people. Thus, we present a very incomplete showcase of some of those better known students at Worcester State College. These profiles may also be used as obituaries later. Francis X. Carraher, Jr. Editor of the Student Voice is a job that has no set hours and no end in sight, and Francis X. Carraher, Jr. knows it. Fran, along with his good looking partner, has been the 1979-80 editor of that fine publication. This is not his only claim to fame, however. He began his public life as a sophomore, serving on the student senate. He was elected to the position of senate trea- surer for the following year but did not serve. He instead joined the staff of the then New Student Voice and covered student senate actions as a political analyst. At the end of the ’78-’79 academic year Fran success- fully ran for the position of editor of the Voice, replacing Stephen (Bound) McDonough. An economics major, Francis says Kirk A. Manning Kirk A. Manning, the man who re- places Paul Sisson as The Thing That Wouldn’t Leave, served as the first graduate resident assistant at Chand- ler Village. Prior to this, Kirk was a lifer with the New Student Voice and Student Voice with his best work being his coverage of the student union construction progress in 1977 and 1978. As a GRA, Kirk served as advisor to several CV committees, an- swered the call of breaking glass, lived in the village, had to work with campus police — it just gets worse from here . . . On the lighter side, he was a member of WSCW Radio and co- that the best thing about being editor of the Voice is “working with Mike D’Onofrio.” What’s the worst thing about being editor of the Voice? “Working with Mike D’Onofrio,” according to Fran, who says that his most memorable experience at WSC was “getting thrown out of a senate meeting.” Francis is shown here ordering a pizza. hosted a comedy wake-up show until its cancellation, Kirk is among the original group of weekend managers hired by the student union. More im- portantly, he is a founding member of WSC’s only unofficial fraternity, The Royal Order of the Booze Brothers. In speaking about his tenure with the Voice, the history major with M.Ed. says that the best thing about it is free postage from the newspaper’s postage meter. The worst thing about being with the Voice is “not having a key to the postage meter.” Kirk is shown here autographing a desk. Michael P. Harvey In speaking about the job he helped create, SGA President Michael P. Harvey says that it is “greatly ex- panded” from that of president of the senate, which was, in former years, the highest elected office in student governance. He is the first student government association president (The difference, aside from the obvi- ous title change, is the fact that SGA president is elected by the student body at large, as opposed to senate president, who is elected by senators O HOOZ HOO HOOZ HOO HOO to preside over the student senate only). Mike, who is an urban studies major, played soccer for WSC as a freshman until a knee injury forced him off the field for a spell. He joined the sports department of the New Student Voice as a sophomore and advanced to the position of sports ed- itor that same year. Politics entered the picture, and Mike spent his junior year as treasurer of the senate, filling the position that Francis Carraher de- clined. In April, 1979, he was elected to SGA president, a position which he served during his senior year. “Students are great to work with because they’re open minded,’’ says Mike when talking about student ac- tivities. “The best thing about it is seeing progress made,’’ he adds. His most memorable experience at WSC was seeing the recognition that the Student Guide received upon its publication. The guide was produced entirely by students. Mike is shown here either (a) gathering votes, (b) checking wind direction, or (c) acting as a spindle in a ring toss game. Mark B. “Whipps” Montgomery A nut, you say? A raving lunatic? A card-carrying pervert? You’re proba- bly right. Mark B. “Whipps” Montgomery is all three, and more. What sort of man is Whipps Montgomery? He’s the man who was thrown out of Chandler Village for carrying a whip and using it on people whom he did not care for. He’s the man who ran for a student senate seat from the S M Party, promising absolutely nothing, not even an obsolete form of rest room. He did, however, say that once elected, he would chain the senate president to a ceiling and administer a sort of whip massage. He offered the same therapy to Cathy McDowell. Repeatedly. But Whipps also has a productive side. His long running “Whipps Comedy Hour” on WSCW was the most popular Tuesday night event until the advent of Student Voice Night. The comedy show, which con- sisted mostly or original pornog- raphy and obscene phone calls, was, says Whipps, interrupted several times by Officer Frank Jones who wanted to arrest him. Whipps’ future plans include “put- ting the world in chains.” Bert Bannister Terminally nice. That’s a near per- fect description of Bert Banister. A resident advisor and student senator (two years and counting), Bert plan- ned and coordinated the now famous “dance-a-thon for the American Cancer Society held in the student union in 1978. She was the first female student manager for the student union, break- ing the sexist employment barrier es- tablished by Paul Joseph. Bert views student activities as “great learning experiences” and says that she likes the people that she meets as a result. As a “year round” resident of Chandler Village, Bert claims the dis- tinction of being the only person to have taken a sound level reading from Jack Rowland’s backyard. She tells us that one of her best re- membered experiences is 1979’s Leadership Workshop at a camp in the woods of Charlton. “The people who were there were good; friends made it special.” Bert said that she didn’t care for the clause in the camp’s contract which called for all participants to engage in some form of manual labor for the better- ment of the camp. Bert was assigned to dig a ditch. “It wasn’t the highlight of the weekend,” she said. HOOZ HOO HOOZ HOO HOOZ Beth Checkoway “I’m not telling you my measure- ments,” said Beth Checkoway when asked if she would allow herself to be profiled in HOOZ HOO. Like many other involved students, Beth has a long list of priors. She was president of her freshman class. That, and the fact that she, like Fran Car- raher, was elected to a senate position but did not serve, in the extent of her political life. She ran spring track and was captain of the WSC cheerleading squad in 1978-79. She was cheer- leader coach in 1979-80 and saved the pep club from extinction by tak- ing an active roll in the club’s opera- tion, Beth admits to being a “hyper person” who always wants to “get involved.” She majored in urban studies and minored in health studies and in 1979 she became technical coordina- tor of the print center. Beth says that she can’t recall any one best experience. “I’ve done a lot,” she says. By the way, we did manage to get her measurements. Dave Houle Russ Mottla The Worcester State College stu- dent body can boast of having not one, but two professional media men in its ranks. Dave Houle and Russ Mottla, aside from their connection with Worcester State’s own WSCW, are local radio personalities. As of this writing (which is dangerously early for this sort of story), Dave is a screamin’ DJ for WFTQ (14Q) in Worcester, and Russ spins “the music of your life” at Russ spins “the music of your life” at WORC in, you guessed it, Worcester. Dave has been involved in some form of media at WSC since his ar- rival from Becker Junior College, where he did likewise. He joined the staff of the New Student Voice in 1978 and remained after graduation as a grad student. During 1979-80 he served as managing editor of The Student Voice. He has been a member of WSCW since 1978. Russ Mottla has made WSCW the center of his extra-curricular ac- tivities attention. He was assistant general manager under Steve Regan during his sophomore year. He was elected general manager in both his junior and senior years. During that senior year he resigned the GM posi- tion to devote more time to other in- terests, leaving the affairs of the sta- tion in the capable(?) hands of David Corkum. The two are shown above smiling because they got through to the pizza joint before Carraher. Carl E. D’Angio, Jr. Who answers to the names of “Di- ngus” and “Chester, The Molester”? Why, it’s Carl E. D’Angio, Jr., of course. Still just a punk, Carl is a prankster who can keep up with pros like Dill and Bound Bound. As a freshman, Dingus was a student senator and a member of Chandler Village Gov- ernment and the film committee. He retained these positions in his soph- omore year and served as vice- president of CV Government. As fate would have it, he wound up where IO HOOZ HOO HOOZ HOO HOO Debbie Kuipers Debbie Kuipers is proud to an- nounce that she didn’t skip that many classes during her stay at Worcester State College. That’s not a bad feat for someone who ran track for three years, played volleyball for the wom- en’s team, worked in the student union, and spent her senior year as treasurer of her class. Deb majored in elementary educa- most jokers eventually do, at The Student Voice. There he learned seri- ous writing, but never did any. According to Carl, the best thing about student involvement is meet- ing “interesting, flamboyant, and sensitive people like Jack Rowland.” What’s the worst thing? ‘‘Brian Mathieu,” says Dingus. When asked what his most memor- able experience at WSC was, he told us that it was the time he and his housemates from 9-3 climbed onto the roof of their building with 48 dozen eggs and challenged Chandler Village. Carl’s future plans include puberty. tion (minors in psychology and health studies), a normally cut and dry (almost dull) program. Not so for Debbie. She did her student teaching, well, out of town, so to speak — Italy, to be exact. “It was great; the people were very nice and the Alps were gorgeous,” says Deb of Italy. She says that she got involved in student activities because she “wanted to do something about what was going on,” but admits that it “gets tough” when the work piles up. Debbie is a leadership workshop veteran, having spent a weekend in the woods with about 30 other loonies. She says that spending four years developing strong friendships with Beth Silvia and Beth Checkoway was her most memorable experience. Beth Silvia The hypnotic blue eyes and radiant smile belong to a lady who wants to own a Mercedes Benz sports coupe. Owning such an automobile is a fu- ture plan for Beth Silvia. But if her future is anything like her past, a Mercedes might just be one of the smaller aspects of it. Beth played tennis for the Worcester State women’s team for two years, worked in the student union, served on the search committee for the position of vice-president for academic affairs, has been resident advisor, and was secretary of her class (1980) in her ju- nior and senior years. Of her RA posi- tion, she says she “found it to be a challenge.” Beth enjoys working with people and says that that is crucial to being successful in her field, which is communication disorders. Her in- volvement in student activities has been motivated by her fondness of people. What’s tough at times, she says, is “dealing with the administra- tion.” Beth is another survivor of that crazy camp-out in Charleton (lead- ership workshop). 95 Rich Zacchilli Rich Zacchilli has magic hands. He can use them to play basketball, sign vouchers for the senior class, and make music. Seriously, Zac folds his hands and produces musical notes. In fact, he was a featured performer at a Bluemoon Coffeehouse presentation in 1979. Among his bigger hits are the theme from Hogan’s Heroes and The Stars and Stripes forever. But Zac isn’t all serious. The elementary education major was vice president of his senior class and played basketball for the men’s team for three years. A member of the 1980 commencement and spring festival committees, Zac says that he became involved in student activities because he “wanted to say things and convey ideas.’’ Meeting people and hearing other views and opinions were what he enjoyed most about student in- volvement, but he says that some- times got “too political.” What was Zac’s most memorable experience? “Living in Chandler Village; It all happened here.” Donna Silva What’s it like being president of a class? Ask Donna Silva; she held that position for two years (junior and se- nior). Prior to that she rang up some presidential experience with the Stu- dent National Educational Associa- tion as a freshman. In her sophomore year she ran track and was a student senator. For three years she managed the men’s track team and was a member of the Lancer Society. Enough experience to handle class presidency? There’s one more item: Donna is one of only two people from the class of 1980 to have been a staff member of the New Student Voice and Student Voice. Donna says that she became active in student affairs “to better social life on campus” and that the best thing about being active thereabouts is “the friendships that are made. What has disturbed her, she says, is campus- wide apathy. Donna is an elementary education major (minor in psychology) who says that she’ll never forget the “track party” from her senior year nor will she forget the 1979 leadership work- shop. Author’s Note That’s right; we’re not quite done yet. The people and events listed in this section are truly deserving of recognition. There are, however, many people who merit at least equal recogni tion but are not listed here for various reasons: O. Clayton Johnson, our VP for student services stepped onto campus in August 1979 and instantly won everyone’s respect and friendship. I wish he had joined us long ago Rick Hamlin, a 1979 grad who ran the New Student Voice as editor in chief and put me in busi- ness for the following three years . . . Jeff and A1 of the Hen- drickx and Larrivee Co., who have handled the composition and layout for the Voice for several years; their work is second to none . . . Mark Piette, a ’79 grad- uate and brillant photo- grapher who didn’t get involved in student ac- tivities until his senior year. He foolishly credits me with making it his best year . . . John Roderick, a good friend and fellow Booze Brother who could rival Bert Bannister for the Nice Guy of the Century award . . . Debbie Bedard, as good a female friend as one can have without getting into trouble . . . Professor Robert McGraw of the history de- partment and faculty ad- visor to the Voice; an age- less man who was always ‘one of us’ . . . Steve McDonough, a 1979 grad, editor of the Voice, and my best friend at Worcester State Col- lege. Putting us together that year was either the best or worst thing that could have happened to this college . . . Finally, the editors of this yearbook, Maureen Granfield and Francine Pion were too modest and classy (and probably smart) to allow me to pro- file them in HOOZ HOO. In fact, I’ll probably have to fight with them to get in just this much. The amount of work that they did on this thing is incred- ible. Besides that, they’re beautiful . . . — MIKE D’ONOFRIO Lori A.

For it is said, “the most important benefit of a college education is the ability to make wise and considered decisions, to choose the best among existing alternative.” There are decisions each of us will have to make now . . . decisions which will put us on the paths to best benefit ourselves and society. Based on the skills, benefits, and education that Worcester State College has provided us, I believe we can make wise decisions. Our class of 1980 has contributed a great deal toward building and maintaining traditions at WSC, traditions like Spring Festival, Flomecoming and Capping. It has been due to your enthusiasm and spirit that these and many other traditions have been possible. All of the memorable events, along with the help, interest, and encouragement of our families and friends have aided in the development of your individual potential. I would like to take the time now to thank each and every one of you for your support and interest in our class. Best of luck in all your future endeavors, but most of all, enjoy life. Thank you P.J., O. Clay, Pat, Sully, and Carol for all the support, encouragement and direc- tion you have bestowed upon us. A special thanks to our class advisors: Catherine Quint and Dick Hunt, for ‘being there’. “Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.

The buzzer sounds. I enter the game. Unfamiliar faces glare at me. Silent cheers of people in the stands frighten me. I can no longer neglect my body . . . It moans as I force it into action. The movement of the players captures me drawing me into the flow of action. An aura of confidence begins to emerge amidst sweat and fatigue. I am one with my teammates caught in a rhythm with the scent of victory guiding our movements. Excitement fills the air in anticipation. “Pass me the ball, I ' m open!’’ A quick glance around . . . a shot . . . an arking rainbow. The tickling of the twine’ sends a shiver down my spine.

The incubation c l period was long and tedious, and termination was considered more than once. But somewhere it ' s creators found again and again the vision of a dream they longed to achieve and plodded on. It was painstaking process, refining all the parts so that their creation would be strong and elegant — a sight for sore eyes! Late into the night they toiled, and laughed, and cried, and printed, and wrote, and drew, and typed, and measured, and cropped, and ate, and drank. Nerves grew thin and tempers flared, yet they still strived toward their goal: November 29, the first color deadline was met — a great sigh of relief and then back to work, for next week, December 6, 100 pages were due — no time to rest, not a second to lose. Back to the dark room, roll out those typewriters and create! How many times would they have to look at the same pictures, call off the same names and proof read? Finally, at 4:00 A.M. Thursday morning the second deadline was complete. After a short recuperation period they resumed their identities as students and finished off the fall semester. Half of their work was done, and half lay before them. February came fast, and all who contributed to the Raggensdraddle came to know the wrath of the Editors when articles, art work, and special assignments weren ' t being submitted at a pace that was to their liking. The days ticked by and soon it was time to complete what had been conceived so long ago. They had the system down pat now: eat, drink, and sleep yearbook. When the sun rose on Thursday, February 21, it greeted an exhausted staff with the gleam of accomplishment in their eyes. They were trium- phant — the final deadline met on time, a quality product in the making. They stumbled home in delerium and began what would seem to be the longest wait in their lives — the delivery of their masterpiece on the agreed upon date. Proofs came with the order to Return in 3 Days or else, and they went over and over and over them checking errors and recalling the work that went into each page, then they mailed them for fear of the or else! Finally came the month of May, and the delivery was made! An anxious staff hovered around the boxes as the editors tore open the flaps and reached in. Carefully they each drew out a book and held it to the light. What a joy to behold! Raggensdraddle has arrived — on time, complete, and proud. ])9 x‘0 k 3 £dtm O ' Keefe _
